Hey all you women's hoops fans, and folks who just don't know yet that they're women's
hoops fans.
We've got a big week over at Good Game with Sarah Spayne as we near the end of one of
the most exciting women's college basketball seasons ever.
The most parody we've seen in years, with games coming down to the wire and everyone
wondering which team will be crowned national champions this weekend in Tampa.

Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith.
And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith.
That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said
is just a beardless, d***less version of me.
And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless D***less Me.
I'm the old one.
I'm the young one.
And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard.
Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language. I'm the young one. And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it?
A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language.
It's for adults only.
Or listen to it with your kid.
Could be a family show.
We're not quite sure.
We're still figuring it out.
It's a work in progress.

Do you remember what you said the first night
I came over here?
Ow, goes lower.
From Blumhouse TV, iHeart Podcasts, and Ember 20 comes an all-new fictional comedy podcast series.
Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend.
I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi.
And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously.

This is John Cameron Mitchell and my new fiction podcast series,
Cancellation Island, stars Holly Hunter as Karen, a wellness influencer who launches a rehab for the recently cancelled.
In the future, we will all be cancelled for 15 minutes.
But don't worry, we'll take you from broke to woke or your money back.
Cancellation Island's revolutionary rehab therapies like Bad Touch Football,
Anti-Racism Spin Class, and Mandatory Ayahuascaahuasca ceremonies are designed to force the cancel to confront their worst impulses.
But everything starts to fall apart when people start disappearing.
Karen, where have you brought us?
Cancellation Island, where a second chance might just be your last.

How you doing? You look sweaty. Why are you sweaty?
So I worked out today.
Right before we started recording,
I jumped on, like most people in the world,
I bought a Peloton bike.
Oh, right. Well, not most people.
People that can afford an expensive Peloton bike. Oh, right. Well, not most people. People that can afford an expensive Peloton bike.
Well, according to the stock market, which is failing right
now, Peloton is the one product that is succeeding
in these troubling times.
Well, yeah.
So yeah, because no one can go to the gym,
and it's like a subscription thing.
So how was it?
A bunch of people have bought Peloton bikes.
And I am now riding with those people. How long do you go for? 45?
I did a 30-minute class just now, but this dude kicked my ass. You know, the
last time I did it, I had a, you know, I tried to pick a, you know, we talked about
this. You don't have to dance around your words. You tried to pick a hot chick.
Yeah, I do have to dance around my words. I am...
I'm sure your wife knows that you tried to pick a hot chick.
She does know. Well, she picked it. I kind of tricked her into picking it.
Right. And then I picked...
She was like, what do you want? I don't know. I prefer someone that looks a little bit like her.
for someone that looks a little bit like her. And you know.
Right.
And so I complained after the, uh, workout about how the person talked too much and
you know, the stuff you do when you want to deflect, right?
Right.
And, uh, my wife was like, well, I'll pick someone for you this time.
So she picked this dude who was like a dude and was very commanding and everything like that and demanding.
But was that better for you? Was it a better workout?
It was a better workout for me, but then I started thinking to myself, well, maybe I'm
playing this role wrong in my relationship with my wife. She picked the dude that's like,
now get on the bike! Now pedal faster, God damn it!
But maybe that's gonna be it. Pedal it! Pedal harder!
Pedal harder, motherfucker!
Maybe that's what you need!
Maybe I need to switch up my style instead of being the passive, gentle, sensitive guy,
the guy who loves puppy dogs and moonbeams.
I need to be that motherfucker now.
Right.
Well, I think that's probably good for you.
I gotta admit, I don't have a Peloton bike,
but if I got one, I think I would probably pick
the pretty attractive girl to yell at me.
I'm never gonna pick the pretty attractive girl again.
I'm just gonna go with that.
Well, I'm sure there's probably a pretty attractive girl
who'll scream at you if you want.
But what you're saying is you got better results
from the dude who was like, pedal motherfucker.
You're gonna pedal right now, god damn it. You ain't pedaling hard enough.
Right. For me, it's all about the music. If the music's good, if I like the music,
I go to a spin class and I will go so hard, but I can't get into it when it's music I don't like.
I hate that.
I know. I totally understand. I hate getting on a bike and having to listen to something that I'm not in the mood to hear.
So did the Angry Guy have good music?
Oh, it was straight up hip hop all day, every day.
Oh, it was perfect for you.
You love that.
It was straight up hip hop and it was good hip hop too.
DMX, Lil Wayne, old school Lil Wayne.
Oh, see that's perfect.
See, I think that's the key.
Obviously you want someone who's going to push you and be like, come on you wimp, you got this.
But I think it's all about the music.
Well now, I don't want you to call me a wimp.
You can call me a motherfucker,
but don't call me a wimp, you know what I mean?
You'd rather be called a motherfucker than wimp?
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, I gotta write that down.
I am learning new things about you on this podcast.
So from here on out, from here on out,
if you want me to respond in a way that is positive,
hey motherfucker, what's up?
Do you wanna count us in to the theme song as that guy?
All right, here we kids. Oh my gosh. I think that Donald has lost his damn quarantine mind.
Tell them what else you bought for your kids. Oh my gosh.
You sent me a video... First of all, Donald's like, I'm running... He doesn't have a pool
at his house, he's like, I'm running out of things for my kids to do, they're going crazy.
I got this water thing from them in the backyard. I pictured a kiddie pool.
You pictured like a slipping slide.
You bought like a fucking water park, an inflatable water park.
I bought an inflatable water park and we set it up and I sincerely thought that these kids,
like most kids, were going to spend the whole day in the water park.
How fast were they over it?
They were over it in 45 minutes.
And we spent so much money on this thing too.
I'll bet.
Dude, it is-
Like this morning we were like, you guys ready for the water park?
And they were like, I'm good. Describe it to people. It's the size of like three cars. No, it's about the
size of a nice big ass pickup truck. Like a Ford, you know, like the big shit. You know what I mean? Right. And
it's huge. And also, our backyard isn't grass, it's fake grass. Right.
That way you don't have to water it.
Well, that's good.
Yeah, well now your thing won't fuck up alone.
Problem is, underneath that, it's just hard.
And so it says, you know, you climb up this big ass ladder about 10 feet up and then you
slide down a slide into the pool at the bottom.
And they're sliding onto concrete.
Now granted, we did worse than that when we were kids.
But to watch my wife panic and lose her shit, it was a funny thing.
Every time the kid climbed up, every time the kid slid down, she was like, I gotta go
inside.
I'm gonna have a heart attack out here.
And so...
Did you have a slip and slide when you were a kid?
I mean, you were...
Yeah, we used to slip and slide on concrete though.
You know what I mean?
Wait, in Manhattan?
In the city? Yeah, in Manhattan? In the city?
Yeah, in the city.
So I grew up in a building that had a big ass playground in the middle, like most buildings
in Manhattan when you live in tall buildings.
And they had, and you know, if somebody bought a slip and slide, we'd put it down on the
concrete on the playground and just slide on that.
That's so dangerous.
If you catch it right, it's fine. But if you don't catch it right, yeah, you're going to hit your head on the... I don't remember a slip and just slide on that. That's so dangerous. If you catch it right, it's fine.
But if you don't catch it right, yeah, you're
going to hit your head on the floor.
I don't remember a slip and slide ever being fun.
There was so much fun in setting it up.
And then you'd go down at once, and you'd be like, ow.
Why?
Well, that depends on it.
Right.
If you don't know how to slide, it hurts like it hurts.
I wonder if they still sell slip and slides,
because there's got to be lawsuits.
They've even padded them now.
So a slip and slide is now padded
so that when you run and jump and dive,
you can, you got a little bit of a bounce.
These kids today, Donald, they need padded slip and slides.
They have it good.
When I was a kid, we hurt ourselves.
I remember setting it up on the lawn
and my stepfather had just spent a fortune
residing the lawn, and he came home and he was like,
what the hell did you do?
And I was like, we're slip n' slide it.
And he's like, the lawn was all trashed of money.
He had just, a fortune, re-sodding,
like it looked like beautiful dream lawn.
You know how like, you know, some people are about their lawn.
Similar to how you were when my wedding was over.
Yeah, you trashed my lawn,
but you know what, it was all in the house. Yeah, you trashed my lawn. But you know what?
It was all in the name of love.
I'll do anything for you.
You and your family can trash my lawn any day.
You put down a dance floor.
Yeah.
Not on a lawn.
No, no.
But on an area, it was a bocce court, but now it's a garden.
But you put down a full... I mean, I was shocked with the effort that went into that.
It looked beautiful.
And I was... For a minute, I was like, we should keep it.
And then people were like, well,
it's not really meant to be permanent.
It's like not like, you know, weatherproof.
Yeah, you'd have a greenhouse
without any greens in it, pretty much.
No, I mean, I didn't mean to tent,
they tented it because there was,
we were worried there was gonna rain,
but like they had put down this beautiful flooring
Oh, okay. for your wedding.
And I was like, oh my God, maybe I should keep that.
And then someone told me like, no, me, no, it's not weatherproof.
It's meant to last a weekend.
So we took it down.
But god, your wedding was really beautiful, I got to say.
Well, dude, thank you very much for helping us out there, man.
The cost of the wedding dropped dramatically when you said,
you could do it in my backyard.
Well, I was so happy to be able to do that for you.
And it was a beautiful ceremony and I'll never forget it.
It was the way you guys did the designer of it,
the whoever did all the decor and everything.
It was like almost like a farm, like a farm vibes,
you know, like farm tables.
It was, we tried to make it country meets soul.
Yeah, country meets soul.
I remember there was a gospel, there was a lot of music.
There was a gospel choir.
We had a, we had a. What did they was a gospel, there was a lot of music, there was a gospel choir. We had a...
What did they sing? They sang a song from Sesame Street.
No, they sang a song from The Muppets. It's falling into place. I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face. Life's a happy song
when there's someone by my side to sing along. That's so beautiful. That's so beautiful. How did
you guys pick that? I mean, I never heard anyone. I picked that song. So the new Muppet movie had
come out. It had been out, I guess, but the music from that movie obviously is amazing.
It won an Oscar, but that song is the,
I believe it's the first song of the movie,
and so it's the number one number.
And Muppet songs are always dope, the Rainbow Connection.
You know, you can go to-
Right, but I mean, I had never heard that song,
and just so people can picture it,
I had told all my neighbors,
we're gonna have a big ass wedding.
And I sent them like little gift baskets
and I sent them a letter saying,
hey, it's gonna be loud, we'll be done by midnight,
hope everybody's cool.
But I was anxious because my neighborhood is,
the sound bounces around.
So everyone was coming to this wedding whether
they wanted to or not. And so it's all set up and it's all quiet and all of a sudden... And then
the gospel choir comes and it's time for that moment and they turn on their...
Well, it's just me walking out for that.
Right. But they turn on the mics and I had never in my mind imagined it was gonna be this loud.
And granted, it was beautiful and amazing, but as the neurotic homeowner, I was like,
oh shit, these people are going to be so pissed.
But maybe they weren't because this amazing...
I guess they were.
Were they choir or was it like six people?
I don't know if people were choir.
It was six people, but they were gospel.
But anyway, this amazing gospel group sang that song and it just reverberated. It was beautiful. It bounced everywhere all
over the whole neighborhood. And I was like, it was magical. I got tears in my eyes. It
was so beautiful.
Yeah. I got to ask my wife what the name of the band was, the name of the group was. But
also when she came down the aisle, I can't sing this song for anything because Beyonce
sings it.
You can sing better than Beyonce, Don. I can't sing this song for anything because Beyonce sings it, but it would... You can sing better than Beyonce, Don.
I wish. Oh, my God. You should have seen Joelle's face, everybody. Joelle made a face like,
how dare you, sir.
You gotta be out your mind.
Joelle's face was like, I will not...
I feel like that's everyone.
Joelle's face was like, I will not be a part of this podcast.
was like, I will not be a part of this podcast. Yo, it's funny. It's just like the character when Eddie Murphy makes fun of Stevie Wonder
and the dude comes up to Eddie, Stevie Wonder's a musical genius, God damn it.
You can't joke about Beyonce. You can't even say jokingly Donald Faison sings better than...
People like Joelle lose their breath.
We lost about 75 listeners just now alone.
No, yeah. People were like, I love the podcast, but if you say Donald Faison sings better than
Beyonce, fuck y'all.
She's my queen.
Fuck scrubs. Fuck Donald.
Is she your queen, Joelle? She is.
Listen, she has the hottest track out right now.
She just released a new one with Megan Thee Stallion.
That track was dope before Beyonce got on it.
Oh, truly.
Truly.
She elevated it.
She gave us a whole new piece.
Just like that Ed Sheeran record got elevated after Beyonce got on it, dude.
It's true.
Yeah, no doubt. No doubt.
Beyonce be lacing people, man. I'm telling you right now.
There are people that have songs and the song will be really good. And then she sings a verse on it. And all of a sudden the song is a top five on the
Billboard charts, man. Like that Ed Sheeran song was dope. And it was already on the Billboard
charts for a long time. And then she sang on it and it's and it broke
Even more records thanks to her. I met her once, you know
So did I and you were like good. I met her once well, I met her several times together
Yeah, we were and you're like, you know, that's Beyonce. I was like, that's not Beyonce
Why would Beyonce be talking about it at the restaurant bar? No name in Hollywood. No, no, no
Say way before that we went out one night to a portion.
Please respect my father and call her Beyoncé.
Yes, Beyoncé.
We went out.
This Beyoncé is something else.
We went out to a Ferrari party or something like that.
You, me, Raiden and Carrie brothers.
And Beyonce was there with somebody.
This is well before Hover, well before all of that.
This is early on in Scrubs.
Early Beyonce.
Yeah, yeah.
And I remember you guys being like, go say hi to her.
And I was like, get the fuck out of here.
That's Beyonce, dude.
And this is before she even had the solo record
or anything like that.
She was still with Destiny's Child.
And I was still like, I can't, you know,
what if I say hi and she says, get the fuck out of here?
And so finally she looked at me and she was like-
She was single maybe, maybe she was single.
Oh dude, finally she looked at me and she goes, hi,
and gives me the look like, mother fucker, say hi, dude.
Oh shit.
We're the only black people at this party.
That was the look, the look was where the only black people-
Like, dog, what are you doing?
And I was like, oh shit, my bad. Hey, how you doing?
I don't remember that. That's funny.
Long time ago, dude.
So you just said hi?
And I just said hi and we walked away. Listen, man, I played myself to so many
of these lovely ladies in Hollywood that I decided I will never do that again.
Like I played myself, you saw how hard I went after Kasey.
I've done things that are so stupid that I was like,
what was I thinking when I look back at it now?
You know what I mean?
You mean like you should have taken your shot?
No, like I shouldn't have taken a shot at all.
Oh, oh, oh.
Because I sounded like an idiot when I did take my shot.
We all have those flinch moments where you're like, oh, that was awkward.
That was right.
But I was in a restaurant bar called No Name that's since closed, run by my friend Brian
Ling on Fairfax in Hollywood.
And it was like a cool restaurant bar.
And upstairs on like a mezzanine, there was a private area where you could have a private
dinner party or you could have a small cocktail party.
And if you went past that room, there was another room.
So we were headed to that room, he and I and somebody else.
And I came up the stairs and I come around the corner
and they're just seated alone at this private table
was Beyonce and Jay-Z.
And they looked up and they stared at me
and I stared back at them.
And they had big smiles on their faces saying hi,
but I was in total shock.
I really was, I froze.
That's royalty, man.
They got that glow, man.
They got that Bruce Leroy glow.
But it was also like you come around to Bend
and you're not expecting to see...
There's no one else in the room.
I mean, it was just Beyonce and Jay-Z having private dinner.
And I was like...
And I just walked in like I...
Did you say hi?
Of course.
I said, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
Hi.
And they were like, hey, how are you?
And I said, I'm good.
You guys are awesome.
I'm gonna keep moving.
They were very sweet.
They obviously smiled and laughed at me because I was like a nervous wreck.
I've played myself so many times with Jay-Z, it's ridiculous.
Like, come on, man.
Like, there's certain people on my list of people
that I think are, you know, the shiz, and he's one of them.
Him, Michael Jordan, you know, Denzel Washington,
Harrison Ford, you know.
Billy Dee.
Billy Dee Williams.
When it comes to athletes, I have a lot of athletes
on my list, but I don't have a lot of rappers on my list where I see them and I'm like, holy shit
I used to be like that, but then I grew out of that face
If there's one athlete you could meet and not just me if there's one athlete that would be like Donald
Let's go get a drink. I want to get to know you better. Who'd it be? Oh man
Well, he's no longer with us, but that's Kobe Bryant. That's the easy one
I met Michael Jordan once and that was cool. And I met Kobe several times,
but there was something special about Kobe Bryant
that was like, you know, I mean, and Michael Jordan too.
But you know, when I first moved out to LA,
Kobe Bryant was just getting, you know, he just arrived.
And I got to meet him way before he played basketball and stuff.
And what do you mean before he played basketball? So LA is a small town. We act like it's a huge,
Hollywood is huge and stuff like that, but you run into people in LA. And one of my friends was
not dating Shayah Bryant, but was hanging out with Shayah Bryan. And so Shayah would come over to my apartment,
like all the time, and we would, you know, hang out and,
you know, go to the movies or go to Magic Mountain,
stuff like that.
And one day she comes over, we're going to Magic Mountain,
and she comes over and she's like,
yo, my brother's outside, he wants to talk to you.
And I was like, oh shit,
why does your brother wanna talk to me?
But he wasn't famous yet.
No, everybody knew who Kobe Bryant was at this point.
He had taken Brandy to the prom.
Right. You know what I mean?
And I'm like, oh man, oh wow.
Okay.
So I go outside and he had broken his arm
playing basketball at the beach, at Venice beach,
at the courts on Venice beach, right?
So he had the cast on.
I remember when he broke his arm, I remember thinking, come on man,
you've got this contract coming up,
what are you doing playing basketball at Venice Beach?
That was what my thought was.
When I saw him with the cast,
I was like, oh shit, he got the cast on, yo.
Like it was.
Oh, cause you had heard about it.
Yeah, I heard about it, but I was like, yo, he got the cast.
You were like, the cast.
The cast, yo.
Did you think he was going to let you sign it?
No, no, no.
But I definitely thought, I was like,
this dude's about to tell me I better respect his sister
and all of that stuff.
And there was nothing going on with me and his sister.
So I go outside, and he's like, hey, man, how you doing?
I just wanted to meet you.
You going to Magic Mountain with my sister.
I just wanted to meet you to make sure you know that I know that cello. That's sweet. He's looking out for his sister. He doing? I just wanted to meet you. You know, you going to Magic Mountain with my sister. I just wanted to meet you to make sure you know
that I know that y'all are.
Oh, that's sweet.
He's looking out for his sister.
He was looking for out for his sister, right.
Well, that's a cool story.
Yeah, but I ran into him several times after that.
But I just, when I first moved to LA,
Kobe Bryant was in LA also.
That's so tragic.
I keep, you got me thinking about it again.
Like it's unbelievable. I just want y'all to know know man. I loved Kobe Bryant. Like I loved Kobe Bryant. I named my kid Kobe. I know I know and just you know
God, I see the love. There's all these amazing murals all over town. I'm sure you've seen him
Yeah, he was one of the most beloved people in the country probably the world maybe world
Sweet sweet switch tones and get into the episode?
Let's do it.
You know, this is an episode with,
it was directed by Mark Bucklin, written by Mark Stegman.
Yeah, two Marks.
Two Marks.
My blind date.
Yes, Mark Stegman is great writer, great friend.
Yeah.
Funny guy.
I believe he went to write on Community after us
and some other shows.
And Mark Buckland, I really think Mark Buckland,
I'm gonna say it now, in nine years,
by far one of our top directors.
Yeah, well, that's easy.
This episode is, not to say as a director,
but as a director, this episode is incredibly directed.
Well, well, well directed.
That one-er.
And you know what, it really makes it.
I know we're gonna get to it, but that one-er.
Yeah, it was a really cool one-er.
For those of you who don't know what a one-er is,
it's when the camera never cuts, so there's no edit.
It's a long one shot that moves around
and involves lots of choreography,
and it often takes a lot of times to get it right.
And it's just done really well.
But also-
The one in this episode is amazing.
I really wanna say, you know, the thing about TV directing
is these guys and gals who do this, you come in,
you have to execute your vision,
but in the tone of the style that's been established
by the showrunner and by whoever directed the pilot,
in this case, Adam Bernstein. The showrunner and by whoever directed the pilot, in this case, Adam Bernstein.
The showrunner and the pilot director sort of said,
this is the look of this show.
It has this vibe, the camera can move like this.
This is the sort of tools you can use,
and now you go do it.
So for a director to stand out, it's tricky.
You got, how you can put your own stamp on it,
because otherwise it's just kind of like,
okay, I'm here to execute someone else's vision. But
someone like Mark Buckland with his level of talent really does stand out. I
was watching this before I even knew that it was Mark. I was watching going,
oh, someone good directed this. I can tell already. There's just a... He finds a way
to put his own stamp on it. And I looked it up because I haven't seen Mark in
years.
Also a really good card magician,
if you remember that, Donald.
Yeah, also a really great ping pong player.
Yeah, I remember that.
But during downtime, he would do these insane card tricks.
He was one of those guys.
He's doing a show called,
he produces and directs a show called Stumptown.
Great show.
Do you watch it?
It's on the ABC lineup with the new ABC lineup.
Colby Smulders, is that. Yeah. Yeah as you know, I
Do a television show for ABC called emergence emergence. Yes. When are we finding out if we're getting a season two?
we have no idea I don't even know if stump town knows if they're getting a season two yet or
Or and if they do then probably
We didn't get it. But all I know when when When does ABC tell you that they're gonna tell you?
Things are different right now, man.
Life is different right now.
Nothing is the same.
I'm supposed to find out,
we were supposed to find, like,
Upfront is the 14th or something like that.
So we should be finding out soon, but I don't know.
Will you be doling out drunken noogies
at this year's Upfronts?
I've learned my lesson.
I did, yo, you know what? Last year I did crash the NBC upfront. I did crash that and that was
a lot of fun to do. Anyway, Mark Buckland also, just to finish my Mark
Buckland research, won an Emmy for directing the pilot of My Name is Earl.
Oh nice. Yeah, so he's a very talented fellow. Very, very, very talented. And I just wanted to say that I really notice how good he is. So this episode has a lot of
good stuff in it, man. This is a good one.
This one's a great one. I laughed out loud. None harder than Kelso when Kelso goes...
She goes, Dr. Kelso, I'm not going to sue the hospital. And he goes, oh, and then just walks out.
He just leaves. Elizabeth Bogush was a guest star, did an arc, really a talented gal, and she,
this was JD's first love interest. Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say that.
And I was just going through the rest of season one. I think she's the only, I could be wrong,
so sorry if you know better than I do, but she's the only Lovanger's before Sarah
and I start a relationship.
Really?
Really, Joelle, isn't that what happens?
I'm not aware, I haven't gone forward at all.
Joelle might know or she can look it up,
but I think what happens is there's three episodes
with Liz Bogush and then Elliot and I start our thing.
I think that's what happened.
That is correct.
Okay, good, see?
I was right, Donald, I did my research.
I did a lot of research for this episode.
I got trivia.
I want the fans to know, I got trivia.
You wanna know the trivia right to start off,
the right off the bat is a good one?
Go for yours.
So Cox is trying to get his perfect game.
All right, I gotta ask you a question
before you do the trivia then.
What?
Did you know what the perfect game was
before we started doing, before the show?
I know what a perfect pitcher game is,
yeah, I know it's happened.
My brother's a baseball fanatic,
my father was a baseball fanatic,
so I know some things.
So, and you knew, don't talk to the pitcher
while he's doing the perfect. Now, that I didn't know,
and I wanted to talk to you about that,
because first of all, how the fuck does JD know that?
I mean, JD doesn't know anything about sports.
We hammer it home in every episode and all of a sudden JD's whispering like, you know,
stuff about.
Never talk.
You know that you don't talk to the pitcher during a game.
So tell me about this real quick.
This is a thing.
If the pitcher's doing really well in a game, you don't talk to him like in the dugout?
You ice him.
Yeah, you don't, you leave him alone.
You don't say anything to him and let him. You don't even give him a butt tap?
No, you don't say look, you don't want to be the reason that his rhythm all of a sudden
falls off. But what if I'm throwing a perfect game and I'm like, holy shit, in my head,
I'm like, I'm fucking killing this. And then I go into the dugout and I get no butt taps
and I'm like, oh, why are they tapping my butt? And then I start spiraling.
I'm like, no butt taps, I'm gonna fuck it up now.
And it'd be your fault that you fucked it up,
not their fault.
Okay, so they'd ignore you.
If they tap you on the butt
and then you don't have a perfect game,
you could be like, motherfucker,
why'd you tap me on the butt?
I see, so that's a thing.
You just ice him, you don't talk to him.
You let that person do what they gotta do to get that...
Okay, see, that I didn't know. That I didn't know. And I find it hilarious that JD didn't know because...
That's hilarious.
Why did... Even Joelle wrote that down in her notes. She was like,
how the hell does JD know all this stuff about...
All right, here's a little trivia for you. Ready?
Okay, let's do it.
There's 27 patients that in the ICU
that Dr. Cox is trying to keep alive through midnight.
Do you know why 27?
I don't.
There's 27 outs in nine innings.
Holy shit.
Mark's deckman. Ladies and gentlemen,
slow clap, slow clap for Zach Braff.
Why, I didn't, it's not my trivia,
I got it off Scrubs Wiki, but,
I don't know if Mark Stegman gets that, but-
You did it, JD!
Way to go, JD!
Way to go, Zach.
I didn't figure that out, I read that,
so don't be too proud of me.
I don't even know if that's what we give
Mark Stegman credit for that.
Let's ask Bill, that's a good Bill question.
Bill, you're not gonna remember,
and Bill's gonna be like, that was me, that was me.
No, but Bill, it's very clever that there's 27 patients
and there's 27 outs in nine innings.
Who came up with that?
27 outs in a ball game to save in 27 patients
came around because the episode started with Dr.
Cox wanting to have a perfect game, you know, and a perfect game in baseball, Zach, which
is a sport, is not only does no one get a hit, but nobody even gets a walk or gets on
base with an air. So it's not just a no hitter. It's a perfect game. You only face 27 batters.
That's it.
All right, so Death's back,
played by the wonderful Randall Winston.
Yeah, Death is back by Randall Winston.
Now, I don't mean to take a dig at Randall, but.
Listen, man.
Listen, I love Randall to death.
I love Randall to death, but.
With all my heart now, don't make me all this.
I don't think if Randall was auditioning,
he would have gotten this role,
because Death isn't the best actor.
If you guys, I love Randall was auditioning he would have gotten this role because Death isn't the best actor.
If you guys, I love Randall to death, but if death had auditioned, if SAG actors had auditioned for this part, we probably could have gotten a better fucking performance.
Oh, that's horrible that you say that, dude.
No, I'm sorry.
For those of you who don't know, Randall Winston is the line producer on Scrubs.
The line producer at the time on Scrubs.
He's since gone on to be an executive producer on-
He's killing it.
He directs.
He directs producers.
He directs now.
He's a very, very established producer slash director on television right now.
Also, he married my wife and I in Zach's backyard.
He was the master of ceremonies.
Oh, I forgot it. I forgot you were married by death.
Yeah, married by death in your backyard. Randall Winston is one of my all time favorite people.
So don't you dare... It's like Joelle and Beyonce, don't you dare say nothing bad about
Randall Winston.
You made a face like Joel made.
Listen, I just want to say, I love the guy to death.
He's an extremely talented producer.
I don't know that acting is necessarily his forte, but,
but listen,
death talks to his daughter.
I don't know that in any art form
I've ever seen death's daughter,
but there she is. They look so much alike.
She's in a Girl Scout outfit trying to sell her cookies.
Right. Well, that's why Death's occupied. He's selling cookies with his daughter
to try to help Dr. Cox out.
Death says something like, she's in second place, and if the first place girl keeps winning,
we're just going to take her.
place and if the first place girl keeps winning, we're just gonna take her. We're just gonna take her.
In the ICU where a lot of the scene takes place, there's a lot of amazing camera work.
At 116, there's a cool 360 pan. It's always challenging for the cinematographer and for
filmmakers to light when there's no place to put the lights. And when the camera is
steady camming, for those of you who don't know what that is, I think we've mentioned
it before, it's this rig that mounts on a steady cam operator's body and it allows
him or her to move around and they can run and do all these cool shots and the camera
always looks like it's floating. A lot of scrubs were shot on a steady cam because of
all the quick walking and running around.
And sorry to digress, our Steadicam operator has a cameo in this episode.
Did you recognize Charles Papert, Donald?
Where was Papert at?
Oh yeah, he was the guy on the...
He's the MRI tech.
The MRI guy, yeah.
When the MRI goes awry and you see a guy freaking out.
By the way, speaking of people who aren't actors giving a decent performance, I thought
Charles did a wonderful job. Yeah. You know, Charles Pappard, every time I run
into Charles Pappard, every time I run into him, he's like, he'll introduce me to the
people on his, in his camera crew and he'll be like, tell them the song. And I'll be like,
what? Like sing them the song. I've told everybody about the song.
I was like, are you fucking serious right now?
He's like, sing him the song.
It's the Transformers melody,
but I don't remember the words.
You remember the words.
Charles Papert, all balls and no shaft.
All balls and no shaft.
Yeah.
I love that he's- Papert make the show.
I love that he's begging you to sing a song to his friends about how he's all balls and
no shaft.
All balls, no shaft.
He begs me to sing.
Charles Pappert.
It's like he says to them, so Donald Faison's coming in today.
He has a special song about me.
I want to say that what's funny about that song is that it's the Transformers melody
and sung very softly like a ballad, but it's...
All balls and no shaft.
Anyway, Charles Papert was our Steadicam operator and he plays the MRI tech and I thought he
did a wonderful job.
I thought he did a wonderful job.
Oh, he does an amazing job in the episode.
He also is amazing.
He's an amazing steady cam and normal cam operator.
I've worked with him several times since then.
And maybe he's had some, you know,
a surgery to adjust his lack of shaft.
Right, to adjust his situation.
He, I thought-
You think he can get like a shaft extender?
Is that a thing?
I once asked a real JD about that. I was like, yo, so what is this about this penis enlarging stuff?
You don't need that.
Why the hell are you asking about that?
Listen, man, everybody wants to be.
Do you remember in the, in the episode of Bahamas, do you remember in the episode
of Bahamas when I, when I thought I saw an eel?
Yeah.
And it was mine.
It was me.
On that note, we're going to go to break while you guys think about Donald's eel.
Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok. You come across a video of a teenage girl
and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her. And I was like, what? Like, it was him? I was
like, oh my God. It was shocking. It was very shocking.
I'm Jen Swan. I'm a journalist in Los Angeles
and I've spent the past few years investigating the story
behind the viral posts
and the extraordinary events that followed.
I started investing my time to get her justice.
They put out something on social media,
so I'd get called in the middle of the night all the time. It's like how do you think you're going to get away with something like this?
Like you killed somebody.
It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turn to social media
to help track down their friend's killer.
This is their story.
This is my friend Daisy.

There's a type of soil in Mississippi called Yazoo clay.
It's thick, burnt orange, and it's got a reputation.
It's terrible, terrible dirt.
Yazoo clay eats everything, so things that get buried there tend to stay buried.
Until they're not.
In 2012, construction crews at Mississippi's biggest hospital made a shocking discovery.
Seven thousand bodies out there or more.
All former patients of the old state asylum, and nobody knew they were there.
It was my family's mystery.
But in this corner of the South, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets.
Nobody talks about it.
Nobody has any information.
When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo Clay, nothing's ever as simple as you
think.
The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that.
I'm Larysen Campbell. Listen to Under Yazoo Clay on the iHeart Radio app, Apple

Hey, you're listening to On Purpose with Jay Shetty and today my guests are none
other than Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. I can't wait for you to hear this
episode about their love story, about their relationship like you've never than Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. I can't wait for you to hear this episode
about their love story, about their relationship,
like you've never heard it before.
I wanna go back to the first time you ever met.
Well, thank you so much for this.
Benny is one of the greatest.
Thank you.
I'm Selena, but we're watching Disney here.
When you're a pop star like she is,
and you're a huge entity, and people set up
all these walls before, and then the first second,
you disarmed everybody.
By the way, congratulations on your engagement.
What I felt for Benny, it was everything about him
was honest.
He'll tell me anything that he's feeling,
and it made me feel like I could do the same.
If we would have met each other when we were younger,
it would have never worked.

Do you remember what you said
the first night I came over here?
How goes lower?
From Blumhouse TV, iHeart Podcasts, and Ember 20
comes an all new fictional comedy podcast series.
Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend.
And Santi was gone.
I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi.
And what's the way to find a missing person?
Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously.
Hmm, pillow talk.
The most unwelcome window into the human psyche.
Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived investigative hookups.
Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex.
And, as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Now, take a big whiff, my brah.
Now, take a big whiff, my bruh. Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to
your favorite shows.
And we're back.
Speaking of your eel, my girlfriend's mom was FaceTiming me about our podcast, because
she listens, and she was like, I really like it, but you guys talk about your willies too
much. As we began to talk about your eel, I was hearing my girlfriend's mom telling
us that we talk about our willies too much. So, sorry to the people of the United Kingdom.
Donald likes to talk about his Willie.
Whoa, I don't like talking about my Willie.
Colonel Doctor at 249, I just got excited to see him.
Yes.
Snoop Dogg intern, a lot of the greats are in this episode.
Yes, Lynn's in the episode, a lot of people.
Yeah, Lynn.
Deontay, once again.
Deontay. Deontay worked a lot. Yeah, well De Deontay. Once again, Deontay worked a lot.
Yeah.
Well, Deontay was there every day.
So what they would do is sometimes
when they needed more background performers than they had,
they would ask the stand-ins to put on a costume
and join the scene.
I think that's what happens.
Well, yeah, not just that.
Also, the stand-ins are all good actors on their own.
You know what I mean?
You give Deontay a line, he'll deliver it.
Well, not everyone,
but Deontay was someone who was a good actor.
Right, and so-
But my point is that I think usually
the stand-ins weren't dressed in costume,
so often when you see them, my brain goes,
oh, they wanted a couple more bodies,
so they asked them to suit up.
Right, but they're always prominently featured, if you notice. well, of course, they're not they're not Dante's not fucking around
He knows where the camera is right
He knows what he's doing. They say diathe's first rodeo. He knows where that cameras gonna be
He's like if I'm gonna put on these scrubs, you're gonna see me, right?
All right, so at 402 there's this long
Right, right. So, at 4.02, there's this long monologue with Johnny C. By the way, Johnny C is incredible
in this episode.
Crushes this episode.
Incredible.
You know what?
I've learned that I, you know, I didn't appreciate it when it was there.
You know what I mean?
There were so many lessons to be learned just from watching Johnny, just from watching Judy,
just from watching Ken.
And, you know, you want to get the fuck out of there at a certain point in time.
You know what I mean?
And I look back at this stuff now and Johnny crushes this episode. He's very funny.
You know, I agree with you, Donald. Watching, even just watching the, however many we've watched,
12 at this point, I'm really taken by what a good actor Johnny McGinley is. He's just,
he's fantastic. And this episode really highlights how good he is. And Sarah's wonderful
in this episode as well. Oh my gosh, she's amazing in it.
Do you find it's weird, I always find it weird,
in a TV show when they reference another TV show.
So here we reference, I reference ER of all things,
another hospital TV show.
I think we were trying to be funny.
No, I know, but I just think, I always think it's weird
when JD, me playing
a fake doctor on television, then references another doctor show.
I just think, it just pulls me out of the show.
I find it weird.
See, but the problem is, is that in ER, Anthony Edwards was still kind of, he still kind of
looked like the character he played in Top Gun.
You know what I mean?
No, he didn't.
He was more bookish and academic.
Kind of, sort of, but he still kind of looked...
Good on Anthony fucking Edwards.
It really is Revenge of the Nerds that you're like, holy shit, that's the dude from Revenge
of the Nerds in Top Gun.
Anthony Edwards has had such a career.
Can we just talk about him for a second?
Let's get it.
That is the right name, right, Anthony Edwards?
Absolutely.
What's the name of the black guy named Anthony Edwards?
You're thinking of Anthony Anderson, you moron.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
They're very similar.
Anthony Edward.
By the way, I love that you knew what I was talking about.
That's how close we are, baby.
Anthony Edwards has spanned Revenge of the Nerds
to Top Gun and then back to ER
and a zillion other things, I'm sure,
but those are the things I most think of him for.
Yeah, he's got range.
Now, are we not allowed to like Revenge of the Nerds anymore?
I know that it is a very problematic movie,
but man, as a child, that was life-changing for me,
that movie.
I went with a babysitter to see that movie in the theater.
And I think I was 1984.
I was probably-
Did your babysitter get kicked out?
Listen, I think it was, I was nine, I think.
I can't believe I got to go see this movie
with a babysitter.
Was your babysitter fired?
Was it 1984, Joelle, can you look that up, please?
I remember went to see, and I had a crush on her,
a nine year old crush, and then I see this movie
that's obviously R, and I can't believe I was seeing this.
And then at the end I was so riled up,
I was so turned on, if you will, by the movie.
And I thought, yes thanks, she says 1984.
In my mind I thought like, oh, I'm gonna try and impress my date.
I just started thinking of her like she was my date.
And we went into like a CVS type pharmacy, giant,
one of those big ones,
and I forgot someone,
my sister probably wanted to buy something.
And I was like in an aisle,
and I was like, what can I act like I wanna buy
that's gonna seem impressive to my babysitter?
And we were in, I went in the hardware aisle
because that felt masculine.
And I saw this battery.
You remember one of those big chunky batteries,
not a car battery, but for a lantern?
It was like this big, like a lantern battery basically. And I remember looking
at it and then I saw my periphery, she was coming down the aisle and she's like,
what are you doing in this aisle? And I was like, see this? And I pointed to the battery
and she goes, yeah? I go, this is what I want for my birthday. Because in my mind, I thought she would be like,
whoa, this kid is fucking...
Deserves to see my boobs now.
This kid is fucking manly.
I know he's nine, but if he's into batteries,
like this big...
I really thought, I remember, this many years later, I remember thinking like, just act like you want this fucking battery, bro.
That's what Avengers the Nerds did to me.
Oh no.
All right, let's move on.
The French Fry Fright, talk about this, Jarrel,
because you're married, you probably have this fight
with your wife.
I believe in this fight, and I believe in Turk's side
of this fight too.
And you know, at the end of the show,
it goes someplace different, but absolutely.
If we go to get burgers at McDonald's,
and I get a combo meal, and I ask you what you want and you say I'll just have
a burger you're not eating my fries goddamn it right those are my fries does
this happen all the time it sounds like you got riled up just now is this this
happened in your home I got riled up because of this dude that was teaching
me how to ride the bike today oh yeah you've you've you've taken on his
persona you are you are as an actor you were like a sponge. You've taken on his persona. You are, as an actor, you are like a sponge,
and you've taken on his persona, Donnie. I am the bike riding instructor from this afternoon.
Do you remember his name? No, I don't remember his name,
God damn it. I'm just him right now. Okay, calm down. Calm down. He's probably having
a smoothie on a couch right now and you're all...
He's somewhere drinking orange goo goo.
He's probably in a steam room with other dudes.
Anyway, but no, this is sincere. And this happens all the time and I used to hate this,
but then this is also when I knew, holy cow, I love my wife. We would go and get food from someplace like Astro burger or McDonald's or
something like something quick and fast and greasy and everything after a night
out of partying in the club.
And I'll be like, do you want anything?
And she'll be like, no, I'm not really that hungry.
In my mind, I knew exactly what that meant.
That meant she's going to eat my shit.
Right.
So would you order extra fur?
No. Well, at first you order extra fur? No.
Well, at first you don't realize that.
And then when it, when it gets to where Turk and Carla are, it's when you start testing it and you're like, I'm going to test and see if when I say,
do you want anything?
And she says, no, I'm good.
I bet you she's going to grab my fries.
Watch that's what's going to happen.
It's going to happen.
It's going to happen.
Right.
And when it happened, you're like, I knew it.
And you, and you, and you explode. And that's what's gonna happen it's gonna happen it's gonna happen and when it happens you're like I knew it and you and you and you explode and that's what happened with Turk. Turk was online with Carla at
the cafeteria and he's getting all of this food and she's looking at him and
in his mind he's like she's gonna want this stuff she's gonna want it. It does
feel like an example of not sweating the small stuff though doesn't it? But that that's not the small stuff. Come on, man. That's not the...
Fries aren't small stuff.
No, that's not the small stuff.
Harley Pasternak, who we both know, very fancy celebrity trainer, he told me that,
I think it was him who told me that french fries is the worst thing you can put in your body.
He once told me pizza was the worst thing you could put in your body. So I don't know. I think
that was him just trying to get you to stop eating French fries.
And he also told me something I'll never forget.
He calls a banana a sugar stick.
He's like, you might as well have a candy bar.
Banana is just sugar.
Really?
Yeah.
I love a banana.
Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak ruined bananas for me.
I still eat bananas. I like them in my smoothie. I do love the banana. Celebrity trainer, Harley Pasternak ruined bananas for me.
I still eat bananas.
I like them in my smoothie.
But he told me that they have,
even though it's natural sugar, it's filled with sugar.
But he also said French fries are the worst thing
you can put in your body,
because it's just saturated fat.
Yeah, but he also told me pizza was the worst thing
you could put in your body.
He got you in good shape once,
and you played basketball with Yeezy, right?
I have played basketball with Kanye Yeezy.
Yeah, was it at Harley's house?
I gave Yeezy and Kham into business.
They know what's up.
They know what's up.
Don't act like y'all don't know.
Yeah, I'm sure Yeezy's listening.
Listen, did you play it at a...
Right, he's somewhere in Wyoming.
Did you play it at Harley's house?
Did you play at Harley's house?
No, we would go and play at like a gym.
We would go to a gym.
He would run out of gym and me, him.
Cause that's the only time I ever,
when I was working out with Harley,
that's the only time I ever met Kanye.
It was before he became, you know,
enormously famous.
Well, he was still huge.
Kanye's been, Kanye was huge.
No, I know, but I didn't,
he wasn't a household name at this time.
Right, right.
Yeah.
He was making that music since back in the day.
And I used to get on the treadmill next to Rick Fox,
Donald, who's a famous.
I played basketball with Rick Fox before too.
Really?
Yeah, I played basketball with a lot of people.
I know, you're fancy.
All right, listen.
A drunk clown hurt me once, laughed out loud.
Definitely laughed out loud, laughed out loud.
I don't know if I made that up or not.
I would like to take credit for it.
Okay, let's ask Bill.
Bill's not gonna remember and if so,
he's definitely not gonna give me credit,
but Joelle, please ask him who made up
A Drunk Clown Hurt Me Once,
and make sure to put in parentheses,
Zach believes it might be his.
He's gonna come back with the sassiest answer,
and here it is.
A Drunk Clown Hurt Me Once was Zach Braff improv.
He came up with that and I remember watching it happen and I remember taking credit for
it afterwards.
Thank you, Bill.
We haven't heard Bill's answer, but I'm just going to say thank you, Bill.
I agree.
No?
Thank you, Bill.
No, I don't think, I don't know that you're going to agree with what he says.
I might not agree.
I might not agree.
I don't know that you're going to agree.
Drunk Clown Hurt Me Once is very funny.
I got to say I laughed out loud about that
because God knows what that story is.
Right.
And how you found out the clown was drunk
is another story.
I love these JD things that never get explored.
Like these long, you know, there's times like,
there's this random sentences that, you know,
we could have gone into a fantasy, but we never do.
I love those rare moments.
Like, yeah, like I got treed by a coyote.
Yeah. That is probably my favorite episode. But we never do I love those rare moments like yeah, like I got treed by a coyote
That is probably my favorite episode and you know why because you directed it It's the first one I directed but also not just saying that cuz I directed it. That is a fucking epic great episode
Oh, that's a great episode. That's you know what season that is. Oh my god
I don't know so I never had a gram shows up. I know what I know what it happens
I got well, will you please look up for me what episode that is? It's love that episode. I got treed by it. Whenever Heather Graham shows up, I know what happens.
Joel, will you please look up for me what episode that is?
It's the first one I directed.
I have no idea what it's called.
Heather Graham's in it.
But Donald, I got treed by a coyote.
Yeah, that one.
And then I'm starting to see why,
what did he say his name was?
I'm starting to see why Leon outfoxed you.
I don't remember that.
Jason Bateman.
I like to make belts out of their necks.
Oh, and Jason Bateman says, I like to make belts out of their necks.
How stoned must have been in the writers room when they came up with the idea that the ostriches
are sentries, right?
Yeah, right.
No, they're right.
So in Jason Bateman's character's home, he has ostriches, but they not only work as guards,
but they stole your Kango.
Right.
And put it on.
Right.
Oh, that's Leon.
Very funny episode.
All right.
We're back to this one.
Michael McDonald is back.
Michael McDonald is back.
That was right away.
He was just on...
We should have him on.
And he's playing the same guy. I think, Joelle, you may have thought he was playing multiple characters.
He's always playing...
He is definitely playing the same guy.
He plays a hypochondriac who's always...
I believe, unless the fanwiki is wrong, that he plays different characters in a later season.
Okay. Well, we don't know, maybe the fans will tell us
on the social medias, but I believe that
he's always playing a hypochondriac.
The episode, thank you, Joel, for finding this,
Donal and I were talking about,
is season four, episode eight, My Less Chance.
It's probably my favorite episode of the whole,
one of my top three of the whole run.
Granted, it was my first time directing,
and that was special, but also Bill,
because he's so fucking competitive,
decided to write an episode that should've been shot
in like 10 days, because it was epic.
We called it Scrubs the Movie.
If you recall, it's the one where Donald and I
have a permission slip from Elliot
that allows JD to sleep with Heather Graham's character
and we go on an epic night long quest
to find Molly to give her the permission slip.
I have a question for you.
When you were making this episode,
did you realize when you were making it
how big of an episode it was for you to have to execute?
Yes, I knew it.
Bill's a big brother to us both,
and has always been competitive with me. We
don't play sports, so the competition came in other ways. So it came in like, okay, it
was after Garden State and Garden State was a success and he's like, okay, you can direct,
here's the script. And it was the most epic, impossible thing. We shot an episode of Scrubs
traditionally in five days and you had to write them so they were
executable in five days. And this was... You remember, Donald, we were on the universal
backlot. There was an ambulance chase with an accident. It was huge. And I just remember being
like, oh my God, he's totally testing if I can pull this off. And I did. And I did. I think it's...
That's amazing.
I mean, we were ziplining across the universal backlot.
Let's save it for that episode. I know. Sorry. You got me talking about it, because I think it's amazing. I mean, we were ziplining across the universal backlog. Let's save it for that episode.
I know, sorry, you got me talking about it
because I really love that episode.
Okay, so now we're at this awesome one.
No, you're going too fast.
I want to talk about Sammy.
The legendary Sammy Lloyd has some good stuff
in this episode.
Oh my goodness.
Okay, yes.
At 5.09, Sammy Lloyd comes in and I remembered now
because he's covered in sweat.
Yes.
And right before takes, they would
sweat Sam up, so he would totally look like he was always on the verge of a panic attack.
Yes, yes.
And then Kelso goes to him, tell him, Todd, he goes, it's Ted.
Ted, but it's only been nine years.
It's only been 12 years.
And then at 5.27, he'd laugh when he goes, and then if that happens, the higher ups,
heads are gonna roll. And then he starts laughing. Very funny. Yeah, Sam has some funny shit
later on in the MRI room.
Run away with me.
Yeah, he goes, run away with me. And then before that, I wrote down something that was
so funny. He says, since my wife left me, I find it hard to see past the evil.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
He goes...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Something about, like, I can't date women.
Since my wife left me, I find it hard to see past the evil.
Now, he finds love again.
He finds love on the show later too, right?
Yeah, with Mizuchi.
Right, with the Gooch.
Yeah, the Gooch, played by Kate Mikuchi, who's a very talented gal and plays the, and sings really well and plays the ukulele very well.
Yes.
So Donald, Liz Bogush, she did a great job, of course that's her voice. Imagine getting a part, good thing she knew she had two more episodes coming up, because imagine getting a part and being like, hey, we're never going to see your face.
And I had forgotten at the end of the episode, they were clever enough
to not even reveal her. That was cool.
Right. And you had to wait until the next episode.
Right. But it wasn't even like to be continued. It was like, some of the audience might've
been like, oh, we never see her. You know?
Right. Well, that's also very interesting because this is, so at some point during the season, the show does start to connect where it becomes
a serial, right? Where it becomes a, uh, is that the right way to put it? Where?
Yeah. When, when they're, when they're, yeah, when they're going in and every episode is
connected to, and then it breaks apart again. I always liked the fact that you could tune
into scrubs and no matter what episode you catch it on, it's like you, you know, yeah,
you can watch it out of order as I'm episode you catch it on, it's like you, you know. Yeah, you can watch it out of order,
as I'm sure they aired it on syndication out of order,
I imagine, but.
Right, but this specific, these specific two episodes.
Well, people would also, you know, yeah,
and certain actors would do arcs, you know,
they do three, you know.
Right.
I think Liz did three.
All right, but come on, first of all,
why can't JD just bend down and look into the damn machine?
I don't know, man.
I don't, that's, you know, I'm, if you're worried about that,
if you're worried about that,
you're not really watching the show.
I know, Donald, but I'm telling you,
they rationalized it a little bit.
You can tell the writers were wrestling with this
because they were like, oh no, she's hurt herself.
We can't move her.
Otherwise it was like, oh, come on, girl,
just climb out of the fucking thing.
Right, just.
Right.
Or if you're that worried, slide a backboard in there and help some dude slide her out.
Let's get her out.
But it is very clever.
But I just want to say that the device was a little like, come on, buddy.
Just peek in there, JD.
Right.
Well, you would just see nostrils and forehead though.
Well, first of all, if you ever had an MRI, and I have, you're deep in that thing.
I have. You're all in that thing. I have.
You're all the way in there.
You're all the way in.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know what the hell kind of MRI Liz Bogush was getting.
Yeah, just the head, I guess.
But even when it's just the head, you're all the way in.
You want to take a break?
Yeah, we should cut to commercial.
They'll be here in two minutes.
So let's, you know what we should do?
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Say what?
I'm not going to save a brand this is for.
Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok.
You come across a video of a teenage girl and then a photo of the person
suspected of killing her.
And I was like, what?
Like it was him?
I was like, oh my God.
It was shocking.
It was very shocking.
I'm Jen Swan.
I'm a journalist in Los Angeles,
and I've spent the past few years investigating the story
behind the viral posts
and the extraordinary events that followed.
I started investing my time to get her justice.
They put out something on social media,
so I'd get calls in the middle of the night all the time.
It's like how do you think you're going to get away with something like this?
Like you killed somebody.
It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turn to social media to help track down their
friend's killer.
This is their story.
This is my friend Daisy.

There's a type of soil in Mississippi called Yazoo clay.
It's thick, burnt orange, and it's got a reputation.
It's terrible, terrible dirt.
Yazoo clay eats everything, so things that get buried there tend to stay buried.
Until they're not.
In 2012, construction crews at Mississippi's biggest hospital made a shocking discovery.
7,000 bodies out there or more.
All former patients of the old state asylum.
And nobody knew they were there.
It was my family's mystery.
But in this corner of the South, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets.
Nobody talks about it.
Nobody has any information.
When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo clay, nothing's ever as simple as you
think.
The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that.
I'm Larison Campbell.

And today my guests are none other than Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.
I can't wait for you to hear this episode
about their love story, about their relationship,
like you've never heard it before.
I want to go back to the first time you ever met.
Whoa.
Selena Gomez!
Thank you so much for this.
Benny!
One of the greatest.
Thank you.
I'm Selena, but we're watching Disney here.
When you're a pop star like she is
and you're a huge entity,
and people set up all these walls before,
and then the first second, you disarmed everybody.
By the way, congratulations on your engagement.
What I felt for Benny,
it was everything about him was honest.
He'll tell me anything that he's feeling,
and it made me feel like I could do the same.
If we would've met each other when we were younger, it would have never worked.

Talking about this awesome oner, finally, I've been dying to talk about this for the entire episode. Yeah, so this oner shot that starts at 6.56, it goes for a full minute.
It's very cleverly choreographed.
Here's Jackie.
Hi.
Hi, Jackie.
Hi, Jackie. Jackie! Hi. Give it up for Jackie's Jackie. Hi! Hi, Jackie.
Jackie!
Hi!
Give it up for Jackie's phone!
Hi, Jackie.
I was going to use my computer, but I have a very old computer and it just wasn't working
at all.
No worries.
We're just glad you're here.
Welcome to Fake Doctors Real Friends.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jackie.
Guys, Jackie is here to surprise someone.
Oh, another surprise.
Joelle, you are just making people's month.
I needed to pick me up, and Jackie buzzed in,
and she was like, I want to surprise my boyfriend.
So Jackie, what's the story here?
So at the end of this month is my boyfriend's 30th birthday and I've been trying
to figure out what I wanted to give him and he has no idea what he wants so I thought this would be
a really nice surprise because we both are huge fans and we just finished rewatching it for the
millionth time. We watched it once a year together. Oh thank you so much. That's really cool.
Donald, this is a 30th birthday present.
We gotta like, do you wanna straighten your shirt
or something?
Do you wanna change your shirt?
Because you know.
I'm good, Doug.
What's his name, Jackie?
Sean.
Sean, all right.
Big Sean.
You know, it'd be funny if you tell Donald and I
something about Sean that we couldn't possibly know
and we'll throw it out there during the conversation
He is a very big D&D person
Donald can tap into that. Yes. He is a very big
Dungeons and Dragons person. We actually are in a campaign. No, he does not he does not DM not Not yet. He's actually him. This I'm in my very first game with him
right now. Okay. How do you
Congratulations, I guess sorry for that. Have you played
Dungeons and Dragons before? Or is this your first time? This
is my first time.
And are you liking it?
I am like, yeah. And we're having it to do remotely,
unfortunately, because of the pandemic going on. But it's
still really
fun.
Yeah, I would imagine a lot of D&D folks are doing this online these days, right?
Yeah, they are.
You could probably find really good games.
I would like to get into that.
Donald, can we get into a game, Donald?
Because you like it, right?
I do.
I just, it depends on what their rules are.
You know what I mean?
Certain rules are, I don't know, man, you play, you know, I grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons,
and so you kind of get used to your grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons and so you
kind of get used to your DM and then you go and play in somebody else's world and you're like, this is nothing like how I remember playing it. Now it can take a very long time, right? We don't
have that much. Can we do a short campaign? Are you able to do a short campaign? It's possible, yes.
How long is the campaign that you're on right now? How long have you been doing it for?
We have been doing it, I want to say for about a month.
The same campaign?
We meet up once a week and we'll play for about four hours.
So you guys play like short hours.
You don't really do the eight hour, nine hour D&D.
No, unfortunately not because some of them, like my boyfriend has to go in the work in
the morning.
Right.
So we used to, it would, that used to be the jam playing D&D until the sun came up and
then sleeping all day and then getting back together that night and playing D&D again.
Oh, he has had campaigns like that.
Yeah.
We used to love that.
And I grew up in the inner city.
So I used to play D&D with a bunch of drug dealers.
It's hilarious. Really? Absolutely dude. Why did you I used to play D&D with a bunch of drug dealers. It's hilarious dude. Really?
Absolutely dude.
Why did you end up in a D&D with drug dealers?
Cause I grew up with a bunch of drug dealers as friends dude.
That's why.
So would they have to pause the campaign to deal drugs?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But it would just be funny cause you know,
it's funny listening to your boy, Tookie rolling dice.
Like, so I pull out my, you know, I reach into my bag of holding and pull out my sword
plus five swing.
Wow.
Rolling dice turns into something completely different when you're in the hood.
Yo, it's something completely different, yo.
That's funny.
You know what I mean?
You roll a 20 side dice.
This is the dope thing about 20 side dice.
You could either do a 20 side dice
or you could do a 10 sided and a six sided,
I think at the same time.
And that's the same thing, right?
And so you roll and it's like rolling dice.
You like blowing on the shit, you know what I mean?
Hitting it off the feet, off the dogs, yo.
Blow on the table.
You got rules.
If it goes off the board, it doesn't count.
And then you get particular about it. Like let's say it does go off the board, but you count? And then you get particular about it.
Like let's say it does go off the board,
but you roll a natural 20,
which is a critical hit in the game that my buddy would DM.
And it rolled off the board, you'd fight for hours.
Like, yo, just please let this stand.
Let this be.
I used to love playing D&D.
Well, maybe Sean will let us into his game.
He would.
All right, well let's meet Sean.
So we'll bring that up in the conversation,
like kind of crazy.
I made him hide in our bedroom.
What does he think's gonna happen?
Does he have any idea what's about to happen?
He's like, yo, she's...
He has guesses, but not really.
I hope we're the best of his guesses.
What if his guess is like...
I doubt it, dude.
I doubt it. He's
going to be like, you mean this, this is like, what the hell is this bullshit? I thought I was
getting a new D and D die. I need to sit next to you. You got to put the earphone in his ear.
Sorry. I'm sorry to direct you. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Hi, Sean! It's Sean's birthday! Hi, Sean.
It's Sean's birthday.
All right, you can stop, Donald.
Let the man speak.
He just turned 30.
Donald, let the man speak.
Jackie hooked it up.
You got a good girlfriend.
She made it happen.
Doctors and real friends.
How you doing, man?
Happy birthday. Happy, happy birthday.
Is this the surprise you expected?
We want to make sure that we're better than the surprise you were expecting.
Well, I, I did make a guess earlier. Um, was it, was it us?
Yeah, it was you, but it was like a out of the world. Like, yeah, sure. I bet.
What, maybe you did this. I thought I had like a friend coming over or something,
but this is, uh,
I bet what maybe you did this. I thought I had like a friend coming over or something, but this is uh,
This is a friend coming over during quarantine. That's what you wanted. Yes
No, shawn no friends over maybe a masked friend. I don't all right right on hey man
Well, thank you for for liking our show and for being fans of us
We uh, we we really appreciate it and it's so it's so one of the cool things about this podcast is we get to randomly meet fans and it's so fun. It's as much fun for us to be able
to see your face and talk to you. Absolutely. It's like when we play D&D and like-
Yeah, we wish you were in D&D because we were going to invite you into our game,
but we hear you're not into it. No. No.
It's just like when we play, right?
And it's like, you know, you're going up against a goblin or a ogre or a fork.
Yeah, I grew up playing with drug dealers in my hometown.
Oh, dude, you're ruining my shit.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to do it.
I was going to take your whole story and make it mine.
And impress Sean.
Yeah, there's Tukey.
Oh my God.
Yeah, so tell us about yourself, Sean.
We want to get to know you briefly while we have you.
Oh.
Where do you guys live?
We live in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Virginia in the house. Right, right, right. West Virginia in the house.
What do you guys do for a living? I'm a pharmacy technician. Nice.
Currently I work at Ulta Beauty as a prestige beauty advisor.
So I put makeup on people for a living right now.
But you're not able to do that I imagine right now.
Or maybe you guys are open, I don't know.
We are open just for curbside pickup.
So only my managers are currently working.
I have been home for the past month and a half.
Oh, okay.
You're not gonna be able to go to the curb
and put makeup on someone in the car.
No, unfortunately not.
And when y'all reopen, I imagine it's going to be
masks and gloves as you do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, Sean, have you still been working because pharmacies are obviously open?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still nothing.
Every day.
Yeah.
So no time to play Dungeons and Dragons then.
Yeah.
How are you able to do your campaign?
You know, she was telling us.
We've been doing, uh, we've been doing like Skype or Google Hangouts and there's a lot of online
And your resources to use you're in three campaigns right now. I'm playing three different games
What kind of character you do you have like I had a I had a cleric in one and then I had a monk in another like
Mike my brother at one point the DM got funky in the game we were
playing and he got to play an ogre Magi which was so sick.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Can the DM can the DM make up any rules he or she wants?
Yeah, it's their world.
Yeah, they're yeah.
That's cool.
I'm currently playing a Goliath fighter in one.
I'm playing a halfling rogue and a half elf draconic sorcerer in the third one.
Nice.
Do you guys have dark elves and wood elves and all of that stuff?
And oh yeah.
Yeah.
It's such a fun game, man.
Oh man. Yeah. It's such a fun game, man.
Oh man, yeah.
It's a lot of fun.
I've made a lot of friends through it.
That's cool.
And so now that it's all online,
does that make it easier for you?
Or is it just as fun?
Or do you prefer to be in person, like around a table?
I prefer to be in person at the table.
I prefer to be in person table
It's you know, it's just some of the games have
maybe six seven people in it, so it's kind of a
Big group to do online a lot of screens to go through
It's just easier to do in person, but it's still you know, it's still scratches that itch
People get really passionate about it. I say do you talk shit when you play? Are you one of those people that's like,
yeah, I'm about to crack this motherfucker upside down.
Blow!
Sean doesn't seem like he would say something like that,
Don.
Oh, okay.
Uh, not so much.
Maybe I should though.
Do you guys ever get heated?
Do you guys ever get heated and get in fights like,
I should have, that should have worked, that role.
Yeah, there's been some friendly conflict in some games, but yeah.
Do you guys have a question?
Oh yeah, we forgot you're supposed to ask a question.
Sean, you can ask us anything.
Sean, you can ask, you know how on Reddit they have AMA, ask me anything.
This is your own personal birthday. Donald Faison, Zach they have AMA, ask me anything. This is your own personal birthday,
Donald Faison, Zach Braff, AMA.
Oh my gosh.
It could be anything.
It could be about anything.
Don't blow it.
Don't blow it.
You can even ask Donald a very private question and he'll answer it. I'll make it.
Don't blow it, Sean.
I was not ready.
Oh, okay. Well, Jackie, maybe while he thinks, do you have a question to help him out?
I've had a question because we've discussed while we listened to your podcast, like if
we were ever on here, what would we want to ask?
Yeah.
While we were watching Scrubs. So I assume you all have seen that the last season,
season nine was not the best season. I don't know what you're talking about. We don't even know there is a nine. I didn't the last season, season nine, was not the best season.
I don't know what you're talking about.
We don't even know there is a nine.
I didn't know there was a season nine.
What are you talking about?
Jackie, the first rule of season nine
is there is no season nine.
Yeah, I was just, you don't talk about it.
Well, they make it a season nine on Hulu.
So I was just wondering, like, just your own feelings
on season nine in general.
I thought season nine had some very funny moments.
You know, I was going through a lot during season nine, like I got new teeth
while we were doing season nine.
So there are a couple of episodes where my teeth are like
my Donald phase on.
I didn't know your teeth didn't come until season nine.
And yeah, that's when I started.
That's when I changed it up, yo got these big-ass pearlies. Yeah, anyway, there's some really funny performances in season 9 Dave
Franco makes me laugh, you know
In season 9 and outside of the show. I have great memories of season 9. I also have really bad memories of season 9
I knew it was over and I knew
we weren't necessarily making the show that the fans wanted, but...
Did you miss me?
Well, you were in a lot of the episodes.
I was only in the first six.
We only did 13.
Well, did you miss me for the seven?
I missed you so much. I missed you so, so much.
But the point is, I didn't mind season nine.
Granted, I've never really watched any of the episodes
of Scrubs anyway, so it all kind of seems,
it all felt like we were still doing our job.
But yeah.
It was weird too.
It was weird for multiple reasons.
One, I was leaving and that was in the air.
Also, all eight seasons had been shot, as I'm sure you may know from just us talking about it
in the past, in this abandoned hospital. And then for season nine, we moved to a
traditional studio backlot. And so they built that fake hospital on a
stage and the classroom stuff was all on a stage. And it felt weird to me. It felt
like, jump the sharky a bit, if you will.
If you're gonna jump a shark,
you might as well do it season nine though.
Well, we did.
I mean, we were so blessed we went nine seasons,
but it just felt, I don't know, I felt weird about it.
And I, to this day, it's gonna be funny.
If we keep going and decide to make it to season nine,
it's gonna be really funny for me
because I've never seen them.
So I will be watching them for the very first time.
But I know Dave Franco is so funny
and I like to say I discovered Carrie Bichet
because I put her in a pilot
and then Bill saw the pilot and cast her.
Made her the lead of the show.
Yeah, and I think Carrie, a Northwestern graduate,
mind you, is very talented.
But I don't know, it was weird.
There was a weird energy in there.
I think we all knew something, it was coming to an end and we kind of knew it was time for it to be over, but we kind of didn't want, it was weird. There was a weird energy in there. You know, I think we all knew something was, it was coming to an end,
and we kind of knew it was time for it to be over,
but we kind of didn't want it to be over.
And I think in Bill's mind, it was like,
you know, if these new kids,
if this gels with the audience,
this could take off like ER, you know,
and just keep putting in new cast and have it keep going.
Yeah, I remember the moment I realized,
I was like, holy shit, I'm screech.
Holy shit, I'm screech. Holy shit. I'm I'm sorry.
You were screeching and, and, and, and, and, uh, John C is building.
I was like, holy shit.
Yeah.
Especially after you.
I did, uh, I did read, I don't know if you guys talked about it, or I also
looked it up that it was almost supposed season.
I was almost supposed to be like a S not spin-off kind of but like, you know
They were gonna call it something different like well, it is a spin-off. It's not the same episode
right
If you if you it's not same show if you recognize season 9 came like a year and a half later and not necessarily a year
Later, like you know what I mean? Yeah, I was I was leaving and the idea was to
Help launch this new series.
So JD would be there for six episodes to make the audience feel like it wasn't that different
and then I would tiptoe out and hand the VO literally off to Carrie Bichet.
And it was going to be like Scrubs Med School was kind of like the idea.
Right.
Yeah.
And we're teachers now. But we had gotten so far into the
silly realm by that time too, you know what I mean? Like it was very broad, is what you're saying? Yeah,
absolutely, dude. Like you and I dressed up as a cowboy and... What was the name of that guy who
I think may have passed? He was very funny, the security guard guy. Yes, yes. Did he pass away?
He did pass away, yes. Joelle's gonna get his name for us he was fun something like that right he was
very funny I remember doing some funny stuff with him while I was there for
season 9 do you have another question I'm just entranced he's in shock yes
even request Donald can serenade you with the song?
The only request is that if I can do a it's a sequence of numbers that after the
numbers a song plays. You guys always do on the podcast. I don't want to say it
because if I say it,
Oh, you want to do it. No way. I would have done it already. No, he's very
respectful.
I appreciate that. But I would have
I would have done it already. No, he's very respectful.
I appreciate that, but I would have five, six, seven, eight.
Dan, turn it off.
Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
Turn it off.
Dan.
Listen.
Listen, you are allowed to do it because it's a special occasion.
And by the way, a lot of people, sorry, it's Wendell Middlebrooks.
And he was hilarious.
And I'm sad to say that he did pass.
He was a very, very funny man. and he was on season nine of Scrubs.
This is the security guard.
But a lot of talk on the social media about Bill Lawrence and these numbers this week.
And I think people were cracking up about how Bill kept doing that.
And these numbers are all over my timeline.
I don't know if it's happened to you too, Donald.
No, I knew exactly what he was talking about when he said it. I'm very impressed that he
asked if he could do it and he hasn't done it yet.
Well, unlike Bill, he's a respectful man.
I would have done to say that Bill randomly doing it made it great. I mean, just like
it was-
But now you're taking away from your 5, 6, 7, 8? Dan, stop it.
Listen.
Listen, it's your birthday.
You're the very first person we've allowed to do this who's
not Donald Bill Lawrence or I. Oh, Judy did it too.
Judy did it, and so did what's her name?
The caller, didn't she?
Yes.
OK, you're right.
You ruined the specialness of it.
Well, I was gonna say, as long as I'm not the only person.
Well, you're one of few other than Donald and I.
You're way too respectful, Sean.
I'm gonna say that you're way too respectful.
All right, well, thank you for calling in.
Happy birthday, and as you leave, you may yell those,
don't yell them, because Dan's just, he's, what?
Go ahead.
Donald, let me direct Sean. Go ahead, I'm sorry, dude's... You don't... What? Go ahead.
Donald, let me direct Sean.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry, dude.
I didn't mean to get in the way.
Okay.
Sean, you can do it however you like.
Thank you for coming on the show.
Happy birthday.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh.
This is amazing.
Go for it, Sean.
Five, six, seven, eight.
You say stories about a show we made.
Nailed it.
Okay, we nailed it.
Wait.
We're not going to play the whole song. Dan, turn it off. Dan, I'm eight. You say stories about the show we made. Nailed it.
Wait.
We're not going to play the whole song.
Dan, turn it off.
Dan, that's enough.
Thank you, Dan.
Okay, we're back.
Thank you guys for coming on.
Happy, happy, happy birthday.
Thank you.
Happy birthday.
Thank you so much.
How do you wish someone well on a Duncan, Duncan, on a D&D campaign?
Do you say like, may your journey be successful or something like that.
That sounds great.
May all of your journeys be successful. May the dice fall in your favor.
That's perfect.
I wish you 25 critical hits in your next campaign.
May a warlock never eat your brains.
I hope you never see the eyes of a beholder.
Yeah. If you ever come across an elf
and his name is Jasper, ignore him.
An elf with a bow is so cliche.
Okay, bye guys. Bye. We have to let you go.
Bye. Bye, thank you all.
The show is going on forever, Donald.
This is a long one, huh?
I know, I know. Well, we got it going on D&D and so many other things.
French fries.
Okay, let's get back into it. Okay, so we were talking about the awesome...
I think we've done the One-er Justice. Johnny's great.
Charles Papert, the city came operator to find job.
Well choreographed by Mark Buckland.
Amazing job, Aloma, Mr. Man, amazing.
Okay, then you with the medical jargon.
I know dude, I want to say that was badass and I was watching it going, go Zach.
Very good.
Because at 910 I have a big ass chunk of jargon and for all of you in the medical profession
who know what the hell I'm saying, you guys are smart. And all I had to do was memorize it. I didn't get too
many of those, but that was a doozy.
That was a doozy. Also, the return of Jimmy Walker.
Oh, so funny. Why are you always in my fantasy? No, why am I always in...
Always in your fantasy. You got a problem, man.
Yeah. By the way, you just mentioned it last time Jimmy Walker showed up,
and he makes really fun, bizarre choices.
Yes.
Like, why are you always in my fantasies?
You got a problem, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was hilarious, though.
Very, very interesting line reads.
I have a crush on him.
But make it funny.
It makes it very, very funny.
Yeah, that was very funny.
That's the reason why he was kid dynamite.
Little bit of trivia on Sarah Chalk in the catcher outfit.
She looks very cute at 11.42,
but she's wearing a left-handed mitt, Donald.
Well, that's for camera purposes, obviously.
I guess so, but I'm telling you,
I looked on the trivia, and Sarah's a right-hander.
She shouldn't be wearing a left-handed mitt.
Throw it right here, right here.
She was, uh, help me to help you.
I don't know how she didn't laugh with him doing that in her face.
Help me to help you.
I think she did.
I think on the-
Help me to help you.
I'm sure on the gag reel, which is probably on YouTube, you can
see her cracking up at that.
Yeah.
And then finally, this is my final one.
Dr.
Kelso say, Dr. Kelso, I'm not suing the hospital.
And then him walking out was my biggest laugh of the show.
I said it before, I'll say it again.
Yeah, that was funny.
That shit was hilarious, man.
That was funny.
Put, my heart hates uggos for 14, 1414.
That's funny, but I mean, it's a funny line.
But first of all, I'm no piece of art.
And the idea that JD was saying he hates uggos is a bit ridiculous because I'm no piece of art. And the idea that JD was saying he ate tacos is a bit ridiculous
because I'm no Brad Pitt myself, but it was funny.
But it was very funny.
Yeah.
Very funny.
That end song is supposed to be Five for Fighting, Easy Tonight,
for licensing purposes.
I listened to it on...
Was it that on...
You listened on Hulu, right?
No, I saw it on Hulu.
It wasn't that, for sure.
Yeah, it wasn't.
I was on iTunes, and it wasn't on iTunes. So just to reiterate,
some of you have heard us say this a thousand times, but those of you who hadn't,
because there was no streaming and such when this show was made and these licensing agreements
were made with these songs, unless you're watching them in certain places, you have the DVDs,
of course, or most of the time when you purchase it, like really purchase it, iTunes or Amazon, the songs will be the original songs, I believe.
But when you stream, some of those contracts have expired or didn't cover streaming.
So someone who we never know and has nothing to do with Bill or Krista,
who did a lot of the music, just put songs in. I'd love to meet that person.
Maybe Joelle can do a homework assignment.
Tonight on a very special episode of Fake Doctors and Real Friends.
We gotta find that person and be like, some mysterious intern at Disney was responsible
for just putting in random songs. Because I was watching this montage-y moment with Sarah
starting to kick ass in the ICU, and I said to myself, this music isn't moving me. And
one of the great things about Scrubs is when they would find the perfect, they slash we,
would find the perfect bit of music
and it would give you goosebumps
and it took the show to the next level
and people loved that about the show.
And it just goes to show you,
you can't just stick any old song in there
because a lot of the magic of this montage for me was lost
because the song did nothing for me.
No offense to those musicians, it's a lovely song,
but it wasn't that magic that happens
when you find just the right song. And I bet that five for fighting easy tonight
song would have been perfect. So you tell Judy you love her at 2012. I was surprised
by that. Why are you trying to break up with her the whole fucking episode?
I don't think he's trying to break up with her. I think he's panicking. Yeah. You know
what? I think the fact that he got upset about her taking the fries panicked him
because that's a sign of I really do care about you know what this how this
girl makes me feel I care so much that I'm starting to recognize patterns you
know what I mean and when you start to recognize patterns you're invested. And I think Turk realized, holy cow, I'm so invested in Carla that, and it's new
for me. Therefore, he snaps with the French fries and he doesn't know how to take it. And when it
comes time to break up with her, which she thinks is about to happen, he tells her the truth, you know.
It's freaking me out, I love you so much.
The writers did a good job with that mislead,
because I, again, haven't seen this in 20 years,
and I was like, oh, did they break up for a few episodes?
I had no idea that you were about to say I love you.
Oh, right on.
You did a good job, though.
It was a very heartfelt moment,
and you're a fine actor, Donald Faison.
Oh, Zach Braff, you are a fine actor. Two more small things.
First time Dr. Cox ever calls Sarah Barbie.
Okay.
Just a little trivia for you.
The two of them together was really fun.
They were really good together.
They were good.
They were a good combo.
And lastly, because there's Girl Scout cookies
in this episode, do you want to tell the listeners
what your favorite Girl Scout cookie is? Joelle, do you want to go first while he's moving? I don't fuck with Girl
Scout cookies. Whoa, fighting words, Donald. How can you not buy cookies from these adorable little
girls? I don't care about the girls, I care about the cookie. I think, yeah, I was about to say,
I think the cookies are overpriced. You don't, okay, but for the sake of this fucking exercise, can you name your favorite dick?
I don't fuck with Girl Scout Cookies. Oh my God.
All right, Joelle.
Joelle, what's your favorite?
I like Samoas.
Samoas are delicious, Zach.
A frozen Tagalong, though, is my favorite.
It's the chocolate and peanut butter ones.
You're one of those ones, Dan, you wanna weigh in?
Favorite Girl Scout Cookie?
Oh, he's got a box!
Oh shit. He's got a box! Oh shit.
He's got a box of Samoas.
Do you have a niece or something like that
that you had to buy that shit from?
Dan, where did you get those?
I see those girls, I see those girls
and their mom on the corner and I'm like,
and they're like, Girl Scout cookies.
And in my mind I'm like, no.
Dan, Dan, where did you get those?
They come to my parents' neighborhood all the time.
Okay, so they always hit me up.
They say, Dan, they're're coming around throw us an order and I get in between five and ten boxes
You know what they're doing money. You know what they're doing money. Shut up down. You're supporting a charity. Alright, listen
Oh, is it for charity? Yeah, they give it to they do Girl Scout things with it
What girls think they're just pocketing the money and putting badges on their shit. So let me get this straight. Yeah, you think the Girl Scout Cookies aren't fucking doing shit with that money.
Let me get this straight. You think they're throwing a prom? Hold on, let me get this straight.
So when you were a kid and you had to sell candy for something, you didn't pocket that money?
No, and I never had one of those things because I wasn't involved in any of those activities. You ain't pocket that money?
No, you're admitting to the audience that you stole fucking charity money when you were selling shit.
No, I would just up the price. All you gotta do is up the price.
Oh, God.
Instead of making it a dollar, you make it a dollar 50 and you walk away with 50 cent.
You know what they do?
This is, these are, this is like, uh...
How to hustle?
You, you wanna learn how to hustle? This is the perfect way to hustle.
Listen.
They gave, listen, they give kids.
There's a reason why when you see those kids
with the candy and the chocolate bars,
that they're charging you $5 for the chocolate.
Oh my God.
Will this Peloton character be back on the next episode,
or is he just in this episode?
He might just be this episode.
But I didn't drink.
Hey, check this out.
I didn't drink this episode.
You didn't drink, but you got all worked up
because of a Peloton instructor. Because of a Peloton instructor and how my wife responded to him. I was like,
so that was really interesting that you gave me that guy. She's like, well, I rode with him this
morning. I was like, oh, okay. Oh, I see.
So your wife, Casey Cobb got all worked up by this guy.
I think she might've got worked up by this dude.
I bet you he's got better abs than you, Donald.
He definitely has better abs than me. He has
better guns than me. He's probably got better sea gutters.
He's got way more stamina than I have. Hey, listen, I just want to tell you something.
What these Girl Scouts are doing in California is setting up outside the weed shops because weed
is legal here, even for recreational as it is in several other states.
So you're telling me that's not a hustle? So you're telling me they're not hustling?
That's a smart hustle, but it's a hilarious hustle. So it's not a hustle? So you're telling me that's a smart hustle,
but it's a hilarious hustle. So it's not a smart hustle to up the price of
Girl Scout cookies.
No, I just love these.
It's a smarter hustle just to stay in front of
the weed shop.
I love these girls.
You're not allowed to have a weed shop within
feet of children.
Right.
They're breaking the law.
Okay.
You're breaking the law, Girl Scouts.
If you're lining up in front of the weed shop,
you're breaking the law.
So Donald is now going to go out. And you're putting a in front of the weed shop, you're breaking the law. So Donald is now gonna go out.
And you're putting the weed shop in jeopardy.
I'm just putting it out there.
You're gonna go out there and start breaking it up, right?
Get out in front of my weed shop.
But let me get a box of Samoas first.
I'm gonna call the cops.
I'm gonna call the cops on them.
But first, let me get a box of Thin Mints.
The only way, the only way.
What's the actual retail price? What's the actual retail price?
We've kept you people for an hour and a half. We love you. Thank you for listening. This
has been Fake Doctors with real friends. Count him in, Donald.
