But I always liked calling you Shoon because I feel about nicknames when I love someone that, oh, I'm on the inside. I have the inside scoop. If you love him and you're in, if you're in the cool kids group, you get to call him Shoon. Right, but you created your own nickname and all of a sudden I became

Chocolate Bear. Sea Bear. Sea Bear. Sea Bear. Does anyone else from Scrubs ever call you Shoon? Did anyone else grab you? Yeah, Bill does. Bill Lawrence calls you Shoon. Yeah. I can't picture Sarah ever saying Shoon. No, but Bill to this day still does. Well, you know, you and Bill probably have spent more time with my family than anyone else in the cast, you know what I mean? And I remember when you and your brother set up a little sound studio in your house once and you called it Audio Shoon. What did you call it? Audio Shoon? Audio Shoon. Audio Shoon. I bet you wish you had that audio booth right now. I do wish I had that audio booth.

Cause now you're in the closet. I do. I do. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. Audio Shoon. Anyway, we should get into the show. Did you count us in?

Don't know that you did. Five, six, five, six. Here's some stories about a show we made, about a bunch of dogs and nurses And a Canada who loved the hay I said, here's the story That we all should know So gather round to hear our

Gather round to hear our Scrubs, rewatch, show with Zach and Donno You know, we're getting a lot of love on our theme song Ooh, before we forget Would you mind just laying down a, mm-hmm, because we never got it, and I think the song at the very end should have you doing that. So, well, we gotta get the key and all of that stuff and... Just do a temporary one and Dan will lay it on for us. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. It's gonna be out of key. It might be out of key, but Dan. I like that one better, the hum. No, so Dan, now what I want you to do in the edit is replay the theme song now with the addition of Donald's mm-hmm. Here's some stories about a show we made,

about a bunch of doctor nurses and a janitor who loved making acid hit the stories that we all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch show with Zach and Dono. Mm-hmm. Donald, this is a very special episode of Scrubs because it has so much in it. And it has your favorite thing in the world, which is, go ahead. Star Wars.

Holy shit. I got so excited about two things. Go ahead. One, when I realized it was the ass pin episode, I jumped for joy. So much in this episode. The ass box. Right, the ass box, the things that people have actually

stuck up their butt. You know, you might think that those were fake. Well, some of them were fake. But the problem with a light bulb, when you stick it up your butt, is you'll never get it out without breaking the light bulb. No, that's a different episode, by the way. When the light bulb is up someone's ass,

and Johnny C says, either this guy has a light bulb up his ass, or his colon has a great idea. I thought that was this episode, but it's actually a different episode. We went back to that room. That joke could be used again. But I want the audience to know that this is a real thing we learned when we were making this that hospitals have collections of things they've pulled out of people who stick stuff in their assholes, right?

Yeah. Ass box is a real thing. And ass box is a real thing. Unfortunately at Sacred Heart, there's no lost and found, but there's an ass box. Yeah. There's something funny about the word ass. When you attach it to anything, you laugh.

I laughed every time someone said ass box. I laughed when I think it was Judy said ass pin. Right. Not only that, I laugh when people call other people ass face. I think that's hilarious. I laugh every time someone says ass head or ass face. Asshole. Those are funny words. Yeah. Ass next to anything. I'm wearing these big rain boots today, Donald. I want to show you. Let me see. What are you doing? Are you gardening? Well, it's pissing rain in Los Angeles. You are British now. Well, yeah, and the British is wearing off on me. I should say the British is contagious

because I'm wearing my big gardening boots. And we have a puppy. You should be like in a Peter Rabbit movie. We have a puppy, so I have to be out in the rain trying to potty train a puppy, and these are my puppy training rain boots. All right. Let's get into this episode. Now wait, before we do, when I was on the phone with you and Casey, and I'm sorry to the audience, I know I told you that I was going to refrain from talking to Donald

because I wanted to save all our contact for the podcast. But Casey was chiming in on the speakerphone on your cell phone and she said that you are not even letting the children walk around the block, Donald. I think you gotta air those kids out. You know, we go on walks every now and then. Like we've gone on two since lockdown. Yeah, that's not enough, I think.

Really? As long as you, I mean, I'm not a parent and I understand why you would be terrified. I fear. I know, bro, I think if you're nowhere near anyone you can have the kids go around the block. I think that's you're allowed to do that. You got to air them out. Right. Unfortunately it's been raining so I haven't been able to do that. I hear that

message loud and clear. Listen, I am in no position to give parenting advice. But I am the godfather of these children. And as godfather, I would like them to walk around the block once a fucking week. Wow. Okay. Okay? Yes. Write that down in your notes.

Mm-hmm. Listen, they're my kids. I love the case he was in the background, but like, he won't even let him walk around the block. All right, should we get into the episode? I've been trying to do that for like an hour. I know, but you know, there is a, we do have a catch-up phase, Donald. Section one is Zack and Donald catch-up, and you're rushing, just because you're so excited

about Star Wars. I'm excited about Star Wars, I'm excited about the ass pin, I'm excited about the title of the show, My Two Dads. I love that Craig Zisk directed this episode. Craig Zisk is a very fine, fine TV director, and this was his first episode for us, and also written by a writing team, Garrett Donald and Anil Goldman,

two of our favorite writers. Some writers work in the writers' room as an individual, and some writers are writing teams. And this is the first, I think this is the only, am I correct Donald? This was the only writing team for season one? I believe so. But also not just that, they went on to do other things.

They came from Family Guy, then they started, then they did Scrubs, they went on to Community. Yes, they ran Community. And then went on to do other projects after that. Like these guys started, these guys started, I would I would love to say humble beginnings, but wow they started with Family Guy and then went right into scrubs and then after that community that's a string of hits to work on. They were very funny and they are very

funny and they were very different. I always thought it was interesting that they were partners because they were, the two of them were just such different people. Yeah, but wrote such funny scripts. Yeah, they were the perfect partnership. This episode is jam packed and has more fantasies than a lot of episodes. Speaking of that, I used to get, and I don't think I ever told you this,

but I used to get jealous and it all comes to a head at the end of this episode. But you used to do some of the coolest fantasies throughout the show, you know what I mean? And this was the first time where a fantasy came up and I ran up on Bill and I was like, Bill, you got to put me in this fucking fantasy, man. You got to put me in this fantasy. It's Star Wars, dude. And I don't know if you know this, but I love Star Wars. He's like, well, who would you be? And I was like, just make me Han Solo. Just make me Han Solo and I'm there and it happens. And he was like, all right, yeah, fine. And not only did he put me in it.

Oh, you weren't originally in it. No, it was just you and it was just JD Cox and Kelso. Okay. And I'm sure that Bill was like, and then Bill was probably like, oh, we got to add the others if we're going to add Donald., if we add Donald, we gotta add everybody else. Which created a great joke, you know what I mean? For those of you- Easy Chewy, and then fucking the Janter, herrr. For those of you who don't know this,

and I'm guessing you're getting a sense, Donald Faison is the biggest Star Wars fan that I have ever met in my life. Carrie brothers too. No, you're by far the most. And and now you voice a character on what tell everyone on Star Wars resistance hype phase on the character was named after me Dave Filoni named the character after me. That's a big deal for Donald Uh, not only that you all but Donald's hobby is stop-motion animation and with Legos

He has made several Star Wars animated Lego films that you can check out on YouTube and they're called Black Stormtrooper. Right, so I realized how my stop-motion, how I got into stop-motion and it was because of Star Wars. I always thought that it was the Ad-Ats in The Empire Strikes Back when they're attacking the rebel base on the planet Hoth, but it turns out there was a video that came out around the same time Return of the Jedi came out called Star Wars, from Star Wars to Jedi, and it was like the behind the scenes and all the special effects that went into making Star Wars. And like the

documentary is about an hour and a half. 30 minutes of the documentary is all based on is all dedicated to stop-motion animation. And I watched this as a kid and I had it on video as a kid. And it wasn't until like the behind the scenes specials that came out with it. And with that, from Star Wars to Jedi was in that package. And I realized right then and there after watching it and putting it on, I was like, this was the plug. And you combined your love of Star Wars

with your love of stop motion animation. Now, you're not gonna say this because it would be too controversial, but I'm going to say that when JJ Abrams made the new movie and there was a black stormtrooper, I went, come on buddy, somebody saw Donald's Lego movies. You can lean back in your chair and don't say a word. I'm just saying as a fan of your stop motion movies, the hero of which was the first Black Stormtrooper and then the Zillion Dollar movie comes out, I said to myself, come on buddy, don't speak.

Don't speak. I don't wanna get you in trouble with all your Star Wars friends. What's his name? The guy with the cowboy hat who's the super Star Wars? Dave Filoni. Dave Filoni.

That's the man right there, man. I want to be on the- You know, George Lucas, George Lucas pretty much gave him the keys to the Corvette, man. Dave Filoni. Yeah, man. He's the keeper of the lore.

Right. And when they go and do other things, he's involved in stuff like that, but his stuff like the Clone Wars rebels is he involved in Mandalorian? He is the executive producer of the Mandalorian. I really like when he's involved when they have him involved I'm telling you man. It's really really good stuff. I I you know Dave Filoni should be, if you ask me, he should be always asked,

well, what do you think of this, Dave? And let him- I think he is, right? Isn't he the keeper of the lore, if you will? I don't know if that's always the way it goes. I don't know how they run. I gotta say, I'm not as big a Star Wars geek as you, but I really am enjoying The Mandalorian.

And- It's great. I know Baby Yoda is like the biggest marketing cash grab, merchandising cash grab has ever been done, but I want one. I want a Baby Yoda. Who doesn't want a Baby Yoda? I want a Baby Yoda. I want a real life Baby Yoda. Can we get to the episode, Donald, for God's sake?

Okay, let's go. At 21 seconds in, there's a reference to The Rock. Now this is 2001. The Rock is a very famous wrestler. I don't know if he's made films yet. She does say he's a reference to The Rock. Now this is 2001. The Rock is a very famous wrestler. I don't know if he's made films yet. She does say he's a film star. She says he's a movie star. But he's not The Rock that he is now.

No, right. It wasn't like he was, that's a good question. Joelle, can you look up what films had The Rock made in 2001? I don't know how many it is, but obviously enough for Sarah to say he's a film star. Well, look, I'll say this right now. Yes, go ahead.

The Scorpion King, I think was the first big... Is that the first big... Joelle's cracking up. What are you cracking up about? Is that the first big rock movie? Look at Joelle's outfit today. She's all matching and yellow. I know, she's all yellow. She got on, and it was all yellow. You look good, Joelle. All right, what's the Rocks credits in 2001 thus far in his career? Just the highlights.

We don't need like the little indie he did in Shtad. You always go to Shtad. So the Mummy Returns is the best one. Then Scorpion King, then Rundown, then Walking Tall. And then it really hits it off in 2005 with Be Cool. Okay, there you go. Be Cool, what was Be Cool? Be Cool!

I imagine The Rock just running around, Be Cool! It's a comedy with who, Joelle? Kevin Hart. No, it's got John Travolta and Uma Thurman and Vince Vaughn and Cedric Vian. Oh right, it's the Get Shorty sequel. Okay. Right.

All right, well he was a movie star then, we were wrong, but he wasn't the level of global, I mean he's like the biggest movie star in the world now, right? Him, well, there's him, Kevin Hart, Will Smith still, Harrison Ford still. Will Smith I don't think is on the level of The Rock these days. His last movie was Bad Boys for Life and I think that did really well. Yeah, I'm just saying, and I love Will Smith, don't think I'm taking anything away from him. I just think that The Rock doesn't really have bombs.

He's, you know, there used to be movies. Yeah, he does. What's a rock bomb? Yeah, he does. A rock has a bomb? Yeah. Oh, the beach one, the Baywatch. Yeah, man, he had bombs.

I sound like my dad. The Baywatch, my dad saw Dreamgirls and he goes, and he had never heard of Beyonce, but he saw Dreamgirls and he goes, I gotta tell you, this Beyoncé, she is something. And we always call Beyonce Beyoncé now because of that's how my dad... He was so taken by her, understandably, like the rest of Earth, but he was like, this Beyoncé, she is something. Can we get to the episode, Donald? We've been in the episode.

All right, all right. So the rock, and then the Family Feud fantasy. I remember going to the real Family Feud set, and that was exciting. I'd never been on a game show set before, and I thought it was very funny that the breakdown is Boobs 93, seeing the rock four, beer sandwiches two, World Peace 1.

So when they pulled 100 people, two different people in this scenario said beer sandwiches. Wow. You know, it's crazy that it says the Rock is one of them also, because I feel like the Rock is kind of the, I mean, I'm sure it's been said before, but he's like male Oprah. You know what I mean? How do you mean? Like The Rock says, yo, this is what we're doing.

And it seems like a whole community of people are like, yeah, this is what we're doing. The Rock said so. I know, but I don't think The Rock was that level of mega fandom. This is 20 years later. Back then, but right now it speaks volumes of how steady his career has been and how he is amazing, dude. Okay, Donald loves the rock. Who doesn't love the rock? Exactly, that's my point.

That's like somebody saying something bad about Bruno Mars. You're like, what? I feel like there's probably people- How could you be mad at Bruno Mars? I'm sure there's people who don't like Bruno Mars. There's probably a few. There's people who don't like anything. I once saw this video on YouTube and it was sweet.

It brought like tears to my eyes. It was literally a dad seeing a duet with his little adorable daughter on a guitar. And it like brought tears to my eyes. It was the sweetest thing in the world. And then I looked on YouTube and there were like thousands of thumbs down. Like people were like, no, no to this.

How dare you sing with that little daughter of yours. That's too fucking adorable. I hate it, fuck you. You can find people that hate anything, Donham. Yeah. Do you wanna sing Taylor Swift, Haters Gonna Hate right now? Well, I mean, she's the one that taught me that.

She's the one that taught you that haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate? Yeah. I mean, once she said it, taught me that. She's the one that taught you that haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate? Yeah. I mean, once she said it, it was like, you're right. 132, I wrote down Matt Winston returns. Now, Matt Winston, who plays Dr. Stedman and who humps Kelso's leg here, I just think, I decided, I'm sorry,

I know we're early in this podcast, but he is my vote so far for most underused, funny, supporting character. Agreed. I think Bill had a thing with him. I don't know what happened, but every time I see him, I crack up and I don't know why this guy was not like one of the go-to regulars. He should have been around for a really long time.

He may have found a way to annoy Bill or something because it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't commute. We're going to have to ask that. You know what, Joel? Remember when Bill said we could ask him things? Ask, and we'll insert Bill here. Why did you stop using Matt Winston, Bill? Come on.

Well, I'll tell you guys, I should have used Matt Winston more. He was really funny. But when we were that early on the show, we were always shooting episodes that were five, six, seven, sometimes even 11 or 12 minutes long. And I was still trying to find room for my pals, Rob Mascio, you know, was a buddy of mine,

and I wanted to get him in all the time. Neil Flynn wasn't even a regular, and we wanted to get him in. We were essentially doing an A story, a B story, a C story, and a Jan of the runner, which if you're wondering is too much. So we kept using Matt Winston over the years, and he kept working, he was in About Schmidt,

and he was in your movie, Zack. Shoulda used him more, he's super, super funny. Cool bit of trivia, do you guys know who Matt Winston's dad is? That's all I'm saying. Miss you guys, why am I not back already with you? See ya. And I love that Kelso didn't know your name

for the first few, this whole time. The reason why he's been calling you sport and everything like that is because he still doesn't know your name. I literally laughed out loud when I said that's the manufacturer of the clipboard, sir. That's very funny. Very, very funny. I just thought he was a funny, funny guy. But yeah, that scene was really funny. Very, very funny. I just thought he's a funny, funny guy. And but yeah, that scene was really funny.

And by the way, a little trivia I saw on the interwebs, because I did research today on the interwebs, you know, there's all this talk that the janitor didn't acknowledge anyone else in season one but me. But there's a little debate because he passes the janitor and says smells like ammonia's pungent today. He might just be saying that out to the universe, Donald. He might not be acknowledging the janitor and says smells like ammonia is pungent today. He might just be saying that out to the universe, Donald. He might not be acknowledging the janitor. But no, I think he's I honestly do believe he's acknowledging the janitor.

I know that's not helping the scrubs lore that he does. Yeah. Well, you know what? It doesn't track. Some things just don't track. He might have just come into the hallway, Donald, and gone, oh, ammonia is pungent today. Listen, just because we're on the show and we're best friends with the creator of the show doesn't mean that everything has to track, dude. Alright. This didn't track.

But I want that to track. It didn't though. Okay, somebody fucked up. I love the fact that Carla and Turk's relationship is moving to the next level. They are now bumping uglies or they're about to bump uglies and what does Zack, what does JD do? He comes in and he ruins it yeah C blocks you see block for real and I was always I always thought you know Carla totally mind fucks Turk man like she even says to him do you want me to take

you into the room right now and we can have sex and when you come out you'll be walking sideways because I'll use I will have used all your up and downs. Yeah, it's very aggressive. What person in their right mind is gonna say, no, I don't want that? She mind fucks him so hard that he's like, no, I don't want that. I like that she's such a strong woman.

She's like, I'm going to bang you so hard, you won't be able to move. Do you want to? And you're like, uh. Uh, no. But it's bullshit though, that you would be like, I'm sorry, but it's bullshit that you would so hard, you won't be able to move. Do you want to? And you're like, uh. Uh, no. But it's bullshit though, that you would be like, I'm sorry, but it's bullshit that you would be like. That I panic, he panicked!

I know, yeah, that was funny, that was funny. Wait, I wanted to talk about my nipples real quick. The band-aid's on the nipples. Right. Now, have you ever been on sets where your nipples, the air conditioning's on and your nipples are so hard, it looks like you're smuggling raisins. And you're saying I can't wear this shirt

because I've got rock hard nipples? Absolutely. So on my last show I did, it was really bad. So I started, I mean, it's embarrassing, but I wore pasties because the wardrobe truck has pasties for women. And I said- And men. Yeah, but they pasties for women. And men. Yeah, but they're mostly for women.

But men in this case. Because I was like, I can't do this scene. This shirt looks ridiculous. Because it's freezing in here. My nips are rock hard. Bring out the pasties. So it just became a running joke with the wardrobe department. They'd be like, okay, Zach, you're going to be in this shirt today.

And do you think you'll need your pasties? Do you remember what you used to call my nipples what you don't remember Oh melted Hershey's kisses That's what they look like They do next time you guys see Donald topless on screen, zoom in and they look like little cute melted Hershey's kisses. I can't believe I remembered that. All right. So this is a perfect example of how we were talking with Bill on the episode a few days ago and we were talking about how Kelso is all about insurance and Cox is all about breaking the rules so that he can get patients taken care of because he's one of those doctors

that actually cares. Obviously, this couldn't be more relevant than anything today, this debate that we've been having in this country forever and we were having on this show. You couldn't make this show and not start off early on and discuss the problem of health insurance and how doctors have to deal with this huge crisis when patients don't have health insurance. Yeah and you know me personally I would prefer a doctor like Cox but I can see how a hospital can go broke if you have a bunch of doctors like that you know what I mean? Well this is the debate of our time

Donald and we won't begin, we won't even begin to wade into the debate because we're not nearly smart enough. But I did think that this was very well articulated. Before I remembered this was the Star Wars episode, I said to myself, oh, it's a battle of good versus evil. And they're fighting over the soul of JD on the golf course. Absolutely. And you think you honestly believe because of how emotional you get when your mentor kind of washes his hand, when he washes his hands with you, you almost fall to the dark side. And it's really easy to fall to the dark side. This is why I love this. This is why I love this. I know.

You can talk about Star Wars this whole podcast. I know, dude. I know, I have a feeling you're gonna find a way, maybe, I have a feeling you're gonna start a side project, a side hustle about Star Wars. There's probably 9,000 Star Wars podcasts. Oh, I'm sure there are. Bros sitting around talking about the Jedi's.

What's your favorite, let's digress for a moment. What's your favorite, you have to pick one Star Wars film or there's a gun to your head, go. The Empire Strikes Back, that's the easiest. That's everyone says that, right? If you're a mega fan. Yeah. For me, it was the Christmas special,

the one with Chewie on the beach. Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie. It's- Rogue One, really? They got to go to the premiere and partially because it's everything I love about the animated Star Wars brought to the live action screen. It's the first time Darth Vader's ever really scary. It was fucking fantastic. Well, I'll tell you one thing. That part, if that didn't make the movie, people would have been pissed off.

Is that like two weeks before release, dude? I'm sorry. That's so good. Well, I before release, dude. I'm sorry. That's that's it. So I didn't know you were a mega fan. Maybe you can be Donald's cohost in his Star Wars podcast. We'll chat later. I will do a Star Wars podcast. We should shoot it.

One thing I've always wanted to ask you, Donald, is how come in the Ewok song at the end of Return of the Jedi, they say yub nub, itchicky yy yy. And then they go celebrate the life. Does that mean that there's no Iwakis for celebrate the life? I'm gonna have to say yes. Okay, so it just doesn't translate. Yub nub, ichiki, yy yy, celebrate the life.

Right, right. Yub nub. Hallelu-tena, yub nub. You know the whole fucking song. Celebrate the life. Oh my god. Dan is telling me that Joelle is the most knowledgeable person on Star Wars. Marvel, Watchmen, literally a million mega fan things.

Well this is the Scrubs podcast. I know! Donald, let's get back to this. Is she knowledgeable in Scrubs? Yeah, she is. But apparently we're learning something about Joelle that she is mega, mega, Wars geek like you. We're gonna have to trivia her later. Alright Donald back to our show. So we were talking about Cox breaking the rules and but then one of the funniest things that we almost saw an eagle in this episode when he spins you.

Yeah that's like a wonder years thing. Yeah I laughed so hard at you losing your balance after two revolutions. I think that was genuine. There were two places in this episode where I genuinely fell. One after Johnny C spun me in that sort of wonder years and that was shot on like Super 8 film to look like the old school. And then when I'm in the water hazard, is that what you call it?

The water hazard? Sure. When I'm in the water hazard and I'm golfing, I remember I legit fell in that moment and wasn't supposed to, I slipped. Wow. And just kept going. Speaking of golf.

That's how professional I am, Donald, I kept going. As you should. Speaking of golf, John C. McGinley, I think, has been trying to hustle me. Cause I picked up golf well after we finished Scrubs. I picked up golf. As a matter of fact, my stand-in on Scrubs, Deontay Gordon. Yes.

When Scrubs was all said and done, he was the one that took me out to the golf course and was like, you know, because my wife had told me, you need to stop playing basketball. You're getting hurt all the time. I'm sick and tired of it. And you were playing tennis. You were getting really good at tennis.

I was getting good at tennis, but I was hurting myself a lot. Right? She was like, you got to get, you got to stop. And also tennis is very expensive. Let's just be honest. Why is tennis expensive? Is it play, what, you you just paying the court fee? Oh, you mean lessons and stuff.

Lessons, all of that stuff. To get good, you have to get lessons. And I was like, well, what do I wanna play that I can play for the rest of my life? And I said, you know, I picked up golf. And Deontay took me to the golf course and we practiced playing golf quite a bit. And then finally, you know, we went out and we play

and we play a lot now. We play golf together John C McGinley, I you know, I expressed to him that I love golf and he's like, oh wow, dude I picked up golf also. I just got into it. I'm really excited This was recently? Well, this was the last time we saw him at Bill's birthday party. Mm-hmm And I was like, oh wow, I was like, we should go out. Now, you know, in my mind, I'm thinking,

I'm about to bust John C. McGinley's ass in golf. And then we watched this episode. Yeah. And he's got a really good golf swing. And dude, he really hit that putt. I mean, that no one was, and he did that walk away. That was all real. I think he, you know, they thought, okay, you know,

we don't have time to sit here all day. You got a long putt, we'll cut it up if we need to. He literally hit the ball and then walked away and it went in and he was so fucking happy. I've never seen that man so happy in my whole life. I'ma just put it out there. I think he was trying to hustle me. He's really good.

He was good then, he was good 20 years ago. You saying he's not good now? No, but that's what I'm trying to say. Golf is one of those games. The longer you play it, the better you are at it. Well, maybe he was just saying he was rusty or something. Rusty my ass? He belongs to a country club?

I think Ken really hit that ball for real. Yeah, and look, Ken's freaking swing was amazing also. Mine was not good, and I remember really feeling nervous and that the whole crew was watching me, and there was clearly going to be a joke like, oh oh here comes the guy who's not good at sports and we're gonna be here all day trying to make him look good and and yeah it was very uncomfortable and you look good you look like Bill cut it together for me to make me look decent it's definitely clear that you don't play golf all the

time well the character didn't Donald right sure but I was. But I was, I'm very, I'm actually, I should have told the audience, I'm actually excellent, but JD needed to be shitty. What you're really good at now though is tennis, man. I'm very impressed with you. Thank you. I don't know if I'm really good, but I really love it. I never was into sports and I finally found something

that I genuinely love doing in tennis. Other than badminton. I can't play badminton, but I really, I do love to in tennis. Other than badminton. I can't play badminton. Frisbee. I do love to throw a frisbee. But I love tennis. And we have the same tennis instructor, Chris Crabb. He's amazing.

Give him Chris Crabb a shout out, even though you can't even get an appointment with the darn guy. Yeah, he's very, he works a lot. Also an actor. Also an actor. He was on a show. Do you know the name of his Canadian series

when he was a child? Something Bay. Danger Bay. Danger Bay. Chris Krabb from Danger Bay. Our tennis coach is an actor, but was on a Canadian series when he was a kid, and it was called Danger Bay. So you should all go watch Danger Bay clips

right now on YouTube. Not right now, after this podcast. After the podcast is over. Wait, I wrote down something. Oh, so I'm going backwards a bit, but there's a reference to, he calls me, are you there, God, it's me, Margaret. And that's a Judy Blume book.

Now, coincidentally, when I was a child, I was, we had to do a book report. And I just randomly chose a Judy Bloom book because I liked Judy Bloom, and I chose to do my book report on Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret, not realizing at the time that it's a story about a young girl getting her period for the first time. And I remember the teacher saying to my parents, like, you know, he did a really nice job with the book report, but it's a bit curious that he chose a story about a young woman getting her period.

But wait... I don't know, he's an oddball kid. I was like, okay, that's the book report today. Well, Judy Blume, are you there? Got it to me, Margaret. But it's paid off, man. But you know what it made me very, as a young child, I empathized with what the girls were going through because I had learned about it through the movie. You should direct and write a movie that's not about dudes and write a movie about women. I am actually.

The thing I'm writing right now is about a woman. That's great. She's the lead and I'm not a child and it's not the story of a young girl getting her period yet. It could change. I don't know. I didn't say child. I said woman. Yeah, I am the protagonist of my of the thing I'm writing right now is a is a woman in her mid 20s. And on that note, we're going to go to commercial right now.

Something about Mary Poppins? Something about Mary Poppins. Exactly. Oh man, this is fun. I'm AJ Jacobs and I am an author and a journalist and I tend to get obsessed with stuff. And my current obsession is puzzles. And that has given birth to my podcast, The Puzzler. Dressing. Dressing. Oh, French dressing.

Exactly. That's good. Now you can get your daily puzzle nuggets delivered straight to your ears. I thought to myself, I bet I know what this is. And now I definitely know what this is. This is so weird. This is fun. Let's try this one.

Our brand new season features special guests like Chuck Bryant, Mya Bialik, Julie Bowen, Sam Sanders, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and lots more. Listen to The Puzzler every day on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's awful. I should have seen it coming. We're back. Yes, and we are back.

I always wanted to say that. That's the fun thing about having a podcast. You can say things like, we're back with Donald Faison from Scrubs. I'm here with Zach Braff. Yes, live. Comedy alive from Hollywood. At 6.32, when Sarah shows her breasts to the little boy, if you pause it, the little boy spikes the lens. Now, for those of you who don't know this bit of jargon, and this is going to, I'm sorry, it's going to ruin film and TV for you now. So if you don't want film and TV forever to be ruined for you, mute the next

minute. But spiking the lens is when an actor accidentally looks into the lens of the camera, and not like on purpose. Sometimes the person is looking right into the camera like Ferris Bueller, because he's talking to you. But spiking lenses Lenses is by accident and it kind of breaks down that fourth wall of, hey, we're doing this imaginary play for you. You'll see it all the time with people, actors in the background, because they're kind of looking when the camera's coming near them and they look directly into the lens. And actors do it all the time by accident, but it's usually edited out. But I noticed that this little boy who should be looking at Sarah's breasts looks at the camera directly into the lens when it passes. So there you go.

Yeah, I don't think Sarah really showed him his breasts and that's why he looked at the lens. No, of course not. Yeah, I think she had a beige band on or something. And that was his moment of like, I thought I was gonna see some titties. Yeah. So you're saying in protest, he spiked the lens? He spiked the lens like, hold on, y'all. He ruined the shot in protest. I was told when I got this part, I'd

be seeing Sarah Chalk's breasts. I just wanted to do a little, I think it's good to give people a little, some filmmaking jargon as we go. So now you know the term spiking the lens. Or breaking the fourth wall. Yes. I love the fact that in that scene,

Turk is talking about what gift am I going to get my new girlfriend? And he thinks flowers and he thinks chocolate. And those are very cliche, especially for a beginning, the beginning of a relationship. Later on, flowers are like the little things. And if you can bring flowers to the table at any point. Does your wife like getting flowers from you or does she think it's lazy? My wife loves flowers. She thinks, but not necessarily for anniversaries and stuff like that. They're great gifts.

But if you can just brighten the house with some flowers. Right, she likes a surprise flower. I don't know about just, not just women, men, kids, anyone. It really does brighten up a room when you walk into a room and there's some form of flower growth in a vase. Of course, flower growth. Now you're saying, but when you, do you ever come home before we were in isolation and

just surprise your wife with flowers? I did that a couple of times, a couple of times. Couple of times. You might want to increase that. When done correctly. Well, you know, you can't do it all the time. Well, you can't do it all the time. But you've been married a long time. You might want to crank it up more than a couple.

I do, listen, after isolation, I'm telling you right now. You what, you're gonna do lots of romantic- It's like, isolation has been like, you know, I'm gonna work out tomorrow. After tomorrow, I'm gonna be working out every day. Once isolation's over, I'm gonna do everything I possibly can to make my wife happy. But right now, it's shit. Do you guys go and have time apart other than doing the podcast in your closet? Do you

guys find a way to be separated? Yeah, once the kids go down. Bill told me that Krista set up a guest bedroom in the house and said, that's your office and you're gonna be there nine to five. That'd be awesome. I would love one of those. So you guys are just together. Yeah, well, we have two very young children

so we kinda have to be together. Casey posted the cutest picture I've ever seen in my entire life, which was Wilder doing yoga. She's real about that yoga. She was in her like meditative state doing Zoom yoga. That was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. She's all about that. She was in her like meditative state doing doing zoom yoga. That was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. She's all about that yoga. I need children because I'm like I look at your kids and I go I need a kid doing yoga. That's the cutest thing I've ever seen in the break room Yeah, Turks talking about what type of gift he's gonna get her and he finally decides he's gonna get her a pin

Hmm, and I remember right then and there I was like, oh my god This is the ass pin episode. Mm-hmm. Oh my god. This is it. I Love the ass pin concept. Yeah, so much so I Literally the smile on my face when I when I realized this it was the ass pin episode was Huge it was like guy smiley big but then it got even bigger when after Turk realizes he's given Carla an ass pin, Todd notices that he has an ass chain around his neck. And not only does he smell it.

Does he smell it? Yeah, but he also is like, oh wow, this has been in another person's ass. Now the thing about Todd. It makes him very happy. The thing about Todd that is already getting filtered in is that he's very, you know, he's the Todd of course, but I think we learn kind of early on that he's down for anything. Like anything. He is open to anything. Obviously men and women, he's fluid in that sense, but also we learn later he's very attractive to seniors

I think, and eventually we learn that he also. And monkeys. He's not an ageist. And monkeys. What do you mean monkeys? Where is said monkey? By the way, we're jumping ahead. We're jumping ahead. But I think one of the funniest times I ever laughed in nine years was when

we're in the break room and Rob is, uh, No, it was in the hallway. It's in the hallway. No, no, it's, we're in, we're in the room where we would sleep, where the doctors would sleep. And I think Sarah and I were hooking up or something. I forgot what the story was. We'll get to that episode. But Rob comes down and he goes, sometimes when I'm banging this mattress, I imagine I'm banging that one.

So dirty for a half hour TV comedy. Anyway. We were very dirty. So Rob is, I guess, establishing that he, someone gave him the chain from the ass box and he likes it. No, he took the chain from the ass box. That's your analysis? Because why is he surprised then? No, so Todd and Turk thought they found the Lost and Found. Oh, got it.

And in the Lost and Found were a bunch of items. Got it. And they were like, holy shit! And Todd was like, yo, there's a gold chain in here! Gold chain? I didn't touch the- Turns out was up somebody's butt. Got it. And they were like, holy shit. And Todd was like, yo, there's a gold chain in here. Gold chain. I didn't catch the- Turns out was up somebody's butt. I'm gonna watch real quick because I happen to be there.

I want to see if he actually sniffs it. Please. I hope he sniffs it. Please sniff it, Rob. Please sniff it. Okay. He's looking. He sees the chain in the ass.

He takes it out. No, he just looks and smiles. He doesn't sniff. A sniff with a baby. I called your fucking lie. But it's still funny. By the way, I bet you he did a take where he just looks and smiles. He doesn't know. Ah! A sniff with a major sniff. I called your fucking lie. But it's still funny. I bet you he did a take where he sniffed and Bill was like, no.

And Bill was like, no way, that's not making it in the show. But still, very funny. Now, when Stedman, we're jumping around, but when Dr. Stedman says I'm woozy on the golf course, it made me think of you because we once went to Cabo for my birthday and you were day drinking. Donald is a lot like a puppy in that he'll go super hard, super hard, super hard, and then he needs a nap. We were in Cabo for my birthday and he's like, we're raging and

day drinking and just by the pool. Then he's like down for the count up in our suite. I was like, where's Donald? I go up there and I try and wake you up and you go, I'm woozy. You were with your brother too. Your brother's were there also. My brother thought it was the funniest fucking thing. He talks about it all the time. He's like, remember when Donald said he was woozy?

Like who says they're woozy? You could have easily said, bro, I'm tired. I'll be out in a little bit. You were like, I'm woozy. I was drunk as can be, dude. Yeah, that's funny though. I laughed so... That was too many margaritas. I heard Stedman say I'm woozy, and I instantly started remembering my brother and I laughing

for fucking months about you yelling that you were woozy. One of my favorite stories of you and your brothers are you guys sneaking... And we still use this to this day. You guys sneaking into the house late at night, drunk out of your mind. I think we might've had some of God's lettuce as well. Okay, so you might've had some of the green lettuce that God grows on this earth. God's favorite lettuce.

Yeah, and your brother taking his pointer finger and sticking it up your butt. Right, we were walking, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, you guys were walking up the stairs and he's behind you and he sticks it up your butt and you turn around and go, we were walking, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, you guys are walking up the stairs, and he's behind you, and he sticks it up your butt, and you turn around and go, dude, too deep. Yeah, we were trying to be quiet, and we were very silly and giggling,

and we're walking up the stairs, we didn't wanna wake up my parents, and he put his finger, I had clothes on, it wasn't like he went in my butt, but he tried to jab my poo hole, and I turned around and went, "'Dude, Too Deep.'" And we laughed about that forever

because it wasn't like I was saying, "'Bro, fucking stop.'" I was like, "'No, just not that far.'" No. No. No. No.

No. No. Yeah, Too Deep has been a very long running joke in my whole family. Forever. Too Deep. That's one of my favorites. I remember once forgotten who runs this valley. Time to remind them.

Listen to The Puzzler every day on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's awful. And I should have seen it coming. I wanted to talk about, uh, in this episode, they introduced the fact that Turk is a man of faith. Yes. You kiss your cross.

Right. And the cross is out and everything like that. And I remember Bill coming up to me and saying, you kiss your cross. Right, and the cross is out and everything like that. And I remember Bill coming up to me and saying, you know what, we wanna establish that you're a man of faith so that when the Christmas episode comes up, we have this whole storyline for you when the Christmas episode comes up. And while watching this,

also this all goes away after the Christmas episode. So they lead up to this. We do all of this stuff where Turk is a man of faith for the next couple of episodes until we get to the Christmas episode. Just for the Christmas episode to pay off. Did you notice when you do get to the scene with Carla setting up candles in the house, 1654, it's a lot of candles. It's kind of a fire hazard.

The woman has set up far too many candles. Yeah, have you ever been in a room with candles like that in real life? No, I only, no, only like, I mean, I've been in rooms where you set up a few candles because you're trying to be romantic, but never, Judy, it looked like a music video set for Boys to Men.

I'll make love to you, like you want me to, and I'll make love to you like you want me to. And I'll hold you tight. That's such a great song. Baby, all through the night, I'll make love. I love how Joelle is, but you guys can't see it, but Joelle is swaying like a fangirl in the front row. She's just shy of holding up a lighter. They don't hold up lighters anymore.

They hold up cell phones. Oh, their phones. They hold up their phones. Yeah, they're now cell phones. So I just thought that was funny. Like, first of all, candles are very expensive. Right? So Carla-

Yeah, where did she get all the said candles? Where did she get said candles? This is before Amazon. Carla went candle shopping. Yeah. To like Yankee Doodle, whatever that- whatever those- what was the candle shop name? I don't know if it Yeah, to like Yankee Doodle, whatever that, whatever those, what was the candle shop name? I don't know if it's still around.

Yankee Doodle, is that it? I don't know. The scented candles? I don't know, but she went nuts. And frankly, I just don't think it's very safe. I mean, if you guys are gonna go, yes, Dan's saying it's Yankee Candle. It's Yankee Candle, Yankee Candle.

So you guys are gonna get busy, and then I'm just worried just safety wise, you're gonna go in the other room and bump uglies, and then we're gonna be left, I'm gonna be left in a fire hazard of an apartment because there's 900 candles lit. I imagine there's also candles in the other room. Listen, if you're listening to this,

I don't want your house to burn down. Let's say you light candles in the living room and you're romancing your partner. Before you go do it in your bedroom, please blow out all your candles in the main room This has been a public service announcement from Zack and Donald only you at 1729 there's that super dark fantasy, I mean so Appropriate for the health care debate that's going on in our country now

but that super dark fantasy of Kelso manning the the the supermarket cash register and just checking out and Charging old people and then I whip out the body bag. I mean, I love that Bill did that. It's just really amazing, just satire, but it was like so dark, especially now. I was just like, this is so smart and also so fucked up and true. Yeah, it's very true.

Did you notice at 1806 that Rowdy has a food bowl? I never knew that Rowdy had a bowl. In the background of the scene with you and Judy in the corner, little Easter egg for you guys, there's Rowdy not only has a bowl, but he has food. We bought food for the dead dog. That's crazy. What's wrong with us? That's what I'm telling you.

That's the oddest storyline throughout the whole series. The Rowdy storyline is just so freaking weird dude like we bought a dead dog food Yeah, and then dead and we and we make the dead dog Hump, did you know that he had a bowl? I didn't know that I forgot all about that Also before we go that far. I wanted to talk about the bar Yeah, that bar is only there for the first season if I'm correct Yeah, now I think you're right and that is not in urgent care either That's also that was actual an actual bar that we used to film in

Yeah, and it was a big pain in the ass to go there because you know when you leave when we left the hospital We were a big footprint with a very large crew and it always Going to locations was a big deal Like I think we spent the full day on that golf course But going to the bar they wanted to use the bar so much and going there was such a pain in the ass that that's why I believe it was second season. They built the bar set into the hospital. Into the hospital. So this is one of the time, this is one of the, one of the bar scenes that was in an

actual bar. Also a little Scrubs trivia. Go on. I don't have the answer for it. What country club was it that you guys were playing golf at? I have no idea. Exactly. I have no idea. These are things that I would be very interested in right now because I love playing golf. So as a golfer, did you go, who nice course, I'd like to play it? Right away. As soon as I saw it, I was like, what country club is that? What golf course is that? I want to play there. Okay. Well, I bet you we can find out. I've been very lucky to play on some really cool golf courses.

I got to play Sherwood once. I think they're kind of obnoxious if I can. I guess this is controversial to say to a golfer, but Los Angeles is filled with so many damn golf clubs. Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you something right now. They're always packed. Beautiful land that should be shared with the people. I'm just saying, sometimes I'm driving around town

and I go, wow, and then there's like a hole in the chain link fence and I go, oh my God, look how beautiful it is in there. And we're not allowed to use it. I'm just pissed. I'm the complete opposite of you. I'll drive around town and I'll see an open field and I'll be like, is that a golf course?

Yeah, because you like to play them. And you get invited because you're you to play on fancy courses, I'll see an open field and I'll be like, is that a golf course? Yeah, because you like to play them. And you get invited because you're you to play on fancy courses, I'll bet. I love playing golf. Let's talk about the Star Wars fantasy because I think that it's a very special moment. This is a tricky thing because when you're gonna, you're allowed to parody something,

it's a clause in copyrights, it's called fair use if you're truly doing a parody. That's how SNL is allowed to do whatever they want and other things that are doing parity. But I remember there were lots of weird rules, like it had to be medically inspired. That's why when you cut a 2026 and you cut to the girls with the buns in their hair,

there had to be like medical supplies in their hair. I didn't really think that made sense, but the lawyers had found a way to tiptoe around it and be able to do it if we were doing a quote unquote medical parody of Star Wars. You know what I mean? I didn't understand that. I didn't understand why they had all of those things in their hand. I thought the scrubs enough was, us being in scrubs was enough for it to be you know what I mean like I had a vest and a shirt underneath and you know I thought that was if you notice all of our outfits were scrubs based so I thought that would be enough for well the girls are the girls like they're in in real scrubs whereas your

outfit and mine are altered like I'm I've got like the I've got like the cross and whatever you call it. My scrubs have been altered. And I don't think that's my hair. That must be a wig, right? That's not my hair. Yeah, and that's definitely not my hair. Really?

Because yours looks like it's yours. You wish you had that hair. By the way, you look so good with that hair. I mean, I- I would look, I'm telling you, Billy Dee Williams, watch out baby, if I had that hair. Or even better- Wait, I thought you were solo. Are you supposed to be solo or Lando? I'm supposed you Billy Dee Williams watch out baby if I had that hair or wait I'm gonna solo you're sorry. Let's be solo Orlando

I'm supposed to be Han Solo, but Erica Strada eat your heart out when I got hair like that You do look good with that hair You know we did us chips of photo shoot that you can you see on the interwebs if you're curious It was for some magazine. I think entertainment weekly or something and they they had a wig on you and you looked glorious I'd loved it. I looked like Bruno Mars and Eric Estrada. Yeah, I like this. I have it frozen on your wig. You look great. I couldn't remember if you were supposed to be Lando or supposed to be Han Solo. No, I was Han Solo. That's why the easy chewy line. But also, this was the year we went to the Playboy Mansion for

Halloween and I wore that same wig because I tried to be Han Solo at the Playboy Mansion. And I remember people walking up to me like, yo, who are you supposed to be? And I was like, I'm Han Solo. I don't even remember. I barely remember. I remember we went to the Playboy Mansion and I... And you dressed up as a vampire. I was... That's not very creative.

And I was Han Solo. Did you remember liking the Playboy Mansion or do you remember thinking like, oh, it's not exactly what I daydreamed it would be? It was not what I imagined it would be. Yeah, me too. I remember thinking it was it was a little bit long in the tooth. It didn't it didn't it It's one of those things where it's like it's better to just imagine what it would be like in your in your dreams The fantasy was definitely better than the reality of it. Yeah There were lots of benefits on the show and you could be like, hey, can I get a uh, you can go to hair and makeup, hey, can I get a haircut? You got a carry, hey, can I get a Halloween costume?

Or, hey, I'm going to be on a show this week. Can you give me an outfit to wear when I walk out? But look at you, look at your background. You have no shortage of outfits back there, Donald.

We watch your Wizette and I know Oh wait, we have a caller. Lori! Hi, I'm so sorry. No, you're perfect. You're just in time, We almost ended the show. We almost ended the show, Lori. We almost ended the show without you.

Without Lori. No, no, never. Without Lori. Always with Lori. Hi, Lori. Hi. It's so great to meet you all. Where are you from?

Where are you calling from? Trinidad in the Caribbean. Oh! Trinidadian. Oh, selector, come down. Donald, the show is officially international now. It really is. It's big.

Are you wearing scrubs? I sure am. Oh, are you? What are you? A doctor? Nurse? What do you do? I'm a photographer, but...

Oh, you just love scrubs. Oh, you just wore scrubs for the podcast. Oh, you wore them for the podcast. I was thinking... Nobody's going to see that. You know that, right? You are. We'll see it.

We saw it, though. And I like that they're green too. I appreciate you. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Lori, for coming on the podcast and tell us what your question is. So in the series, I think, I mean, you'll always balance between super heavy things as well as really light. But there are two truly like super heavy episodes.

This is my fallen idol where Cox lost the three patients after getting transplant from Jill Tracy and my screw up with the big twist ending spoilers with Ben dying at the end. And I was just wondering which one was your favorite because it's pretty difficult to choose I think. Wow. I'm going to be really lame and admit that I got goosebumps when you said that because I have to go to Ben dying just because I think one of the most talked about things in Scrubs history was that moment at the funeral with Where Do You Think We Are? and Where Do You Think We Are? and then

Josh Raden's song Winter Coming On. I just think that that was just so moving and Cox who's always such a strong alpha on top of it all, finally getting to see him grieve and feel pain. And I think Johnny's performance in that was incredibly moving. What about you, Donald? I do like the episode where Cox loses three patients because at first he's trying to pitch a no-hitter. And that's what we all think is going to happen, is that he's going to, you know, we even use

the reference in the show where, you know, you don't talk to him about what's going on, because he's in the zone. And then at the end of the episode, he loses, if I'm correct, Lori, I'm correct about this, right Lori? Yeah, all three die. But he is in the zone, and he does feel like he's gonna save all three of them, too, right before it all goes down.

Right, right, right, right before, and, like, the two die, and then the one who's his actual friend, he gets, like, the page, and then that's when he's, like, losing it. And then that, I mean, I'm a super freak when it comes to scrubs, but that's right after the episode. She's a super freak when it comes to scrubs, but that's right after the episode. She's a super freak when it comes to scrubs.

That's right after the episode where Jill Tracy dies and himself up because he's like, I could have saved her. And Cox says, if you let yourself feel like that, that's the end. And JD says, John tells Cox that and he's like, you know more about the show. I love super fans. I love super fans like that. I love it. I think it's so cool. Jadie Tinshaw talks that and he's like, yup. You know more about the show than any of us do. I love super fans like that. I love it. I think it's so cool.

Yeah, Donald and I do not know nearly. It's a good thing though because- The connection, that's amazing. It's amazing and I really love your accent. It's amazing. I never realized I had one, but cool. I gotta be honest with you. Anytime John C. McGinley has the opportunity

to do sad drama, it's always good. And so, you know, when Ben dies and when the three patients die and you see him wig out and lose it, it's always good. So if you're asking me which one I liked better, I'm gonna be honest with you, I do like the one with Brendan Fraser in it. One, because Brendan Fraser was in it, and two, because this is Cox so far off the rails,

you know what I mean, that he's hallucinating and he's imagining things. And he loved this man so much. And this is the only person that we ever see him love that much where it breaks his heart and breaks him down. So that definitely is one of the episodes that I feel is our most, it hits hard. You know what I mean?

It was so well done. It was done so perfectly. Yeah, that one in when Glenn Terman was on the show. Yes. Is that? I forgot his character name, but he's the one that, he's the older black man that Donald and I are trying to keep alive.

And we sit by his bedside. George. Yeah, good. He's a wonderful actor and he uh that's one of my favorite episodes actually. Yeah. All right do you have another question Lori? I have my friend who's the real reason that I even got through to do this it should be on it because she won't ask the question. I don't know where she is. You want to call her? You can't call a friend. It's not a millionaire. You want to phone a friend? You want to call the audience? Do you want to use a lifeline?

Yeah. Hold on. I'm telling her, click the link in the email. It's OK. She missed it. What is the question? Just give me any other question, Laurie. If you don't have another question,

you can ask him anything. If you've got a legendary Donald Faison in front of you, you can ask him anything. Wow. Well, what I had actually wanted to do really badly was I don't know if you know on Instagram, in people's stories, they have those templates where it's like this or that.

Yeah. Yeah. I have a ton of them with scrubs. Let's go. Yes, great. Do you prefer my pilot or my finale? The real finale, season eight. Ha ha ha.

My pilot, that was the jump off. Yeah, my pilot is the moment that our lives change. So I think we'll always have a soft spot in our heart for that. Do you prefer Mami Moore's character, JD's girlfriend, as well as Spank's character as JD's girlfriend? Wow, that's a tough one.

I love them both. But since Mandy was my real life girlfriend at the time, I'll say Mandy because that was really cool. Well, it was also really cool to have her on at the time because it was fun to act with my girlfriend at the time. And I thought Mandy did a great job. Also, I also loved Mandy on the show, but I really liked Elizabeth Banks

also on the show. I was a huge fan of 40 year old Virgin and the character she played in 40 year old Virgin. And I thought that was, you know, I thought it was cool that, you know, she was on the show. Sure. All right, go ahead. Last one, Laurie, because we were- No, two more. You get two more, two more, just in case. Okay, Donald overruled. Two more. Okay. Oh, this is so difficult. Do you prefer twisty bottoms or clicky tops? Fence. Two more, just in case. Donald overruled. Two more. Okay. Oh, this is so difficult. Do you prefer twisty bottoms or clicky tops? Pence.

Oh, I'm a clicky top guy. I love to nervously clicky click. Clicky top. And this one's really for Donald, but did you prefer your Neil Diamond impression or your Aaron Navarro impression? Neil Diamond, because I love Neil Diamond. Come on, give us a little.

When I was a kid, I used to listen to, in between watching Voltron and Transformers on WPIX in New York City, they would always play the best of Neil Diamond. And that's how I learned about who Neil Diamond was. I don't know any of his songs full all the way through. I only know snippets. Give us a snippet.

So it's like, everywhere around the world, they come into America. And then, love on the rocks. Ain't no surprise. Ain't no surprise. And then, what was the other one? Turn on your hard light. Did you ever see the movie he made? I think it was the other one? Turn on your heart light. Did you ever see the movie he made?

I think it was the Jazz. Yeah, he's in blackface in that movie, dude. At one point he's in blackface in that movie. Neil Diamond is in blackface in that movie. Okay, I didn't know. Don't yell at me, I didn't make the movie. I'm just putting it out there. Not only, and then so-

You're acting like I wrote it. Here's a great, here's something great that I loved about doing Scrubs and my love for Neil Diamond. The Transformers more than meets the eye. Keep going. The Transformers robots in disguise.

So if you've ever asked, if you ever, anyone ever asked you, have you ever heard an impression of Neil Diamond singing the Transylvanian? Autobots face their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons. More than meets the eye. All right, Adeshun. Laurie, thank you. You're the best. And thanks for being such a big fan of ours.

We really appreciate it. And thank you for wearing scrubs. Yes. Thank you. And thank you for wearing scrubs. Yes. Thank you. And thank you for the scrubs being green. Donald, I think that's the episode. That is the episode. Wait, I mean, is there anything after Star Wars? Let's see. I'm scrolling. The janitor pushes me over. No. Well, actually, let's talk about the reveal. You know, you finally realize, and Dr. Cox, this will go on for the next few episodes where Dr. Cox figures out a way to come back to the hospital and work even though he's suspended.

And he uses, if I'm correct, he uses JD as his liaison. I don't remember, but nice pronunciation of liaison. I like you put a little French on it. No doubt. Listen, I miss you so much. I, I don't. Dude, I totally miss you. In the words of I miss you so much. I totally miss you. In the words of Tenacious D, dude, I totally miss you.

That's Tenacious D? Absolutely. Do you know how is it a song? Yeah, dude, I totally miss you, dude. I totally miss you, dude. I totally miss you. I do miss you. And it's Friday night here in Los Angeles.

And man, do I wish that we were headed to a fun restaurant to have drinks with our gals and have long hugs and chats. Just fun and laughter. Fun and laughter. Casey Cobb, Donald's wife, coined that phrase. She said. Well, she didn't coin it. She don't get paid when people say it.

No, but that's copyrighted. But she was always like, y'all wanna get together for fun and laughter? That is her saying. Donald, do you wanna lead us in gratitude and thanks this week? I am so thankful for so many things right now. One, the healthcare community out there,

and the doctors and the nurses and the orderlies and all the people that. The EMTs, the medics. EMTs, everyone that works in the hospital, but not just them. Also the people that work at the grocery stores. Bus drivers. The people that take our trash out. COVID-19 is hitting really hard in the AfricanAmerican community right now. And that's because a lot of African-Americans, we have the jobs that people are calling essential

and don't necessarily have the best healthcare out there. And I just want to shine a light on that and shine a light on our community and make sure that we all have each other's backs right now because that is very, very, very important. And so I just, you know, I just want to thank all of the health care workers. I want to thank everybody out there. But I especially want to reach out to all of my brothers and sisters out there and say to you guys, one, stay in, this is not a game. Two, check on your people for real. And hopefully if you're lucky,

you'll have a doctor like Dr. Cox or something like that who's willing to, you know, because insurance is a big issue right now. It's such a huge issue right now. And we need to figure that out. I'm just, you know, I don't wanna, you know, get controversial and say, you know, people aren't doing enough,

but that's something that needs to be addressed. We need to address- On the next episode, we are going to solve the healthcare problem in the United States. We're not gonna solve the healthcare problem. I know, I'm just kidding. I hear you. But we're gonna, but I definitely wanted to say,

you know, watch each other's backs out there. Yeah, well said. And thank you everybody for listening and thank you for tuning in and we're having so much fun doing this and we're so happy to to know that so many of you across the globe are listening. So now Donald will count us into our final song this time now with the new Hi, I'm Arturo Castro, and I've been lucky enough to do stuff like Broad City and Narcos and Roadhouse.
