It's so on fire that they've asked Donald Faison and I to go on The View. I hope I get to talk to Whoopi.

Well you're old friends with Whoopi, she was in Homie Spamoni. Yeah, we did a movie together. It was great, I have some apologies to make to her, I have to apologize like profusely to her. Don't embarrass us in front of Whoopi bro. I won't embarrass us in front of Whoopi, but I was like a little punk back in the day, like I was scared of, I was so scared of celebrities and getting to know actors who I was, you know, who I loved. Like Whoopi Goldberg is one of my top five, like she inspired me as a youth.

Yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, like Jumping Jack Flash, you know, there's so many of them. Before all that, dude, when I saw the color purple when I was a kid and I thought, I didn't know anything about acting, but I said, that is one of the best actresses I've ever seen. Absolutely, I cried in the color purple for the first time. Are you kidding me?

I sobbed in the color purple. For the first time ever in a movie, I cried. When they pulled the sisters apart, right? When they pulled the sisters apart! Me and you, us never part Ma-key-da-da. Oh my gosh. Oh, I could cry right now. I could cry right now.

Let me tell you something. Ain't no mountain, ain't no sea. Ma-key-da-da. Keep my sister away from me. Ma-key-da-da. And the fact that she went to, her sister went to live with her kids, Adam and Olivia, that was even more special, man.

It was just, that's one of those movies. I could get tears in my eyes with you recounting it. If you haven't seen The Color Purple, it is a fucking masterpiece. Steven Spielberg. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Music by Quincy Jones. Yes. And Whoopi Goldberg.

You know, Steven Spielberg always used John Williams. This was one of the first times that he didn't use John Williams and used Quincy Jones instead. Well, that's good trivia. And Whoopi Goldberg's performance is unbelievable. And Oprah Winfrey, I believe. Oprah Winfrey! Did she get, I know she got nominated,

I don't know if she won the Oscar for that performance. No, she didn't win for it. Nobody from the color purple won. Who could have, Joelle, I am so sorry to start right off the bat, but who could have beaten Oprah Winfrey's performance in the color purple one. Who could have beat, Joelle, I am so sorry to start right off the bat, but who could have beaten Oprah Winfrey's performance in the color purple? Who is this person? Who is this thespian?

That one is the death, that my favorite scene. You told Harpo to beat me. All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my brothers. I had to fight my daddy. I never thought I'd have to fight in my own house. I love Harpo. God knows I do. But I kill him dead. Oh my God. Come on. You just got me all riled up about color purple. Sorry, brother.

What? I'm sorry. Danny Glover. Excuse me. Yeah, Danny Glo all riled up about color purple. Sorry, brother. What? Danny Glun, excuse me. Yeah, Danny Glover. Yeah, Danny Glover. I mean there's just I agree with you It was one of the first times I like sobbed in a movie and I was a little kid and I was just like I just like wow, this got me. I remember my mom tapping my dad and being like The baby's shoes crying my baby's crying. Oh, really? At that part, yeah. Me and you, us never part. And when she teaches her how to read. And then, of course, at the end, when her sister comes back, when she finds the letters, there's just so many moments.

When she finds the letters, when she finds the letters. But when I think of like, you know, sometimes I think about the movies that have made me cry the most, I always think of those two sisters being torn apart in the color purple. That and one of my favorite moments in that whole movie is when Suge Avery, played by Margaret, finally has lightened up to Miss Sealy and she's written a song with her band called Miss Sealy's Blues and they play it at the juke joint. Sister, you've been on my mind. Oh, sister, we're two of a kind soul.

Sister, I'm keeping my eye on you. That song is fire. And that was, did Quincy Jones write that? Yeah, man. This is all Quincy Jones, the whole soundtrack. Quincy Jones, cue. Sister, you got me on my mind. Okay, okay.

I can't do it like you. I mean, come on. I know that's the- Nobody could do it like Margaret Shug-Avery. Hey, should we sing?'t do it like you I mean come on I know that's nobody could nobody could do it like Margaret sugar Hey I said, here's the stories that you all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our spurs rewatch our with Zach and Donald. So much love for the theme song, Donald. Lots of love on our Instagrams for so many things.

Bill and his five, six, seven, eights. So much love. I didn't realize that there were that few Peloton instructors. So a lot of people were like, oh man, you had such and such. Oh, really? I know who it was. I thought there were dozens of them. No, I guess not. I guess, or I guess the one I described is... Was very specific.

...is very specific. You didn't really leave much mystery. Did you work out today? I see you're all sweating up there. I did work out today. I found a new instructor. Oh, good. You can pat down your head before we do the podcast. That's allowed. I showered and everything.

This is that afterglow. This is that freaking Bruce Lee. What Bruce Lee Warrior was searching for at the end of The Last Dragon, I got that going right now. Oh, really? Why don't you pull some sweatpants off the rack and pat your forehead down? I can't look at that going right now. Oh, really? Why don't you pull some sweatpants off the rack and pat your forehead down? I can't look at that for an hour.

Does it make you uncomfortable? No, but you need like, what do you, you know when the rappers always carry a washcloth? You and I got into a big years ago about how you said that African American people always bring a washcloth into the shower. Yeah, we did get into a debate about this. And I said that I've never used a washcloth into the shower. Yeah, we did get into a debate about this. And I said that I've never used a washcloth in the shower. And you said- Typical.

You said every black person I know brings a washcloth in the shower. Most black people use washcloths. Joelle, can you weigh in on this? She's nodding. She said nodding her hair, yes. Nodding her hair, yes. Black Twitter, when we learned that people

do not wash their legs, they were very loud about the use of washcloths and tried to inform a lot of people of many races that you could always just take a cloth in there and really scrub. Yeah, like what does your hand do that a thing that has like friction, that is made for friction, when wet? So as you're married to a Caucasian woman, do you use the washcloth and she doesn't?

No, she uses a washcloth. My wife is Southern, but hold on now. Let's not forget that my wife is Southern. There's a lot of things that Southern white people, even though they might have issues with black people, do exactly the same thing that black people do. Washcloth in the shower. Well, if you're listening, we wanna know, no matter what your ethnicity, if you use a washcloth in the shower, please hit us up.

You're just getting cleaner. You're just getting cleaner. Hit us up on Instagram and let us know if you're... Now, you said washing your legs, Joel. I definitely think that I neglect my legs in the shower. Oh, that's horrible. I throw a little something down there, but I don't get in there with a washcloth. You need to get in there with a washcloth, bro.

What about your toes? Do you clean your toes? Yeah, man, you clean your whole body with it. I haven't. The thing is, don't go to the... Hold on, don't go to the ass and the genitals right away. Wash your body first. Oh, you save that for the end. And save that for the end, yes.

So you have to replace the washcloth each shower? Well, I mean... Because you might have a little doo-doo on it. It's a little... If you get in there deep, if you get in there deep, and then you come back and all of a sudden you're wiping doo-doo all over your legs. Oh, God. No, no, no.

But that all depends... Listen, it all depends on how well you wipe your ass too though. Okay, so if you got doo-doo in the you wipe your ass too though. Okay, so if you got doo-doo in the crack of your ass when you're showering. I feel no matter how well you wipe, if you stick a washcloth a quarter of an inch in your anus, you're gonna get a little poo on it. And I don't want to put that on my legs. So let me get this straight. When you are washing your body, you stick your finger a quarter of an inch in your poo hole to get it coming.

No, I don't. But I'm saying if I had a washcloth, if I have the barrier mitt of a washcloth, I would probably be inspired. You would, Stik. I'd be inspired to get in there and just get the inner rim a little. No? Have we gone too far? No, no. Joelle is the test audience and she's cracking up.

Listen, listen, when I clean my sink, Donald, for the most time, I just, you know, I clean the bottom of the sink, get all the stuff to go in the drain. Like once a week, I take a scrub and I really get the rim of the drain hole. So I'm talking about that. Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it. So let me get this straight. You'll wash your dishes, the things that you eat off of, with something that's not your hand.

Yes. Well, you're inspiring me. Both you and Joelle are making me think that I've got to change this up. I'm 45 years old. I'm going to change my whole shower routine. Man, we've had this conversation for a very long time and you haven't changed it yet. I know. Well, I have done it.

I've gone through periods where I bring a washcloth in, but then I'm like, oh, I got to change in each shower. That's a lot of washcloths. What about one of those scrub puffs or one of those... A loofah. A loofah. Yeah, but I'm not trying to put a loofah between my cheeks. Scratch my shit off. Oh my gosh. The show took a long turn. I'm sorry, everybody. I hope you're listening on sorry everybody. I hope you're listening on earphones. It took a long turn, right.

I hope you're listening on earphones and not out loud. By the way, I gotta tell you, I'm listening to the, I'm watching the funniest fucking show. I gotta give this show a shout out and also because it's on Hulu, one of our sponsors, they love this. It's called Dave and it's- Little Dicky. It's Little Dicky.

I didn't know anything about Little Dicky. You haven't heard? I woke up in Chris Brown's body Dicky. It's Little Dicky. I didn't know anything about Little Dicky. You haven't heard, I woke up in Chris Brown's body. No. Oh, he has a song with him and Chris Brown where he wakes up one day and he's Chris Brown and Chris Brown is him. I'm gonna watch all the videos, but dude, you have to watch this show. The song is called Freaky Friday.

You have to watch, Joel, have you seen this show? You guys have to watch this show. It is so fucking funny. Yeah, man, Little Dicky is funny, man. It's a, but, have you seen the show? You guys have to watch the show. It is so fucking funny. Yeah, man, Lil Dicky is funny, man. It's a, but Donald, you will love it. It's our, totally our sense of humor. I didn't know, I didn't know this guy at all. I'm sorry that I'm not hip to Lil Dicky.

I've seen the billboards, they're all over LA. I didn't even like the billboards. No offense to the advertising campaign. You didn't like Lil Dicky hanging out of underwear? No, I was like, I saw that billboard, which is all over Los Angeles. It's Lil Dicky hanging out of a pair of, I was like, I saw that billboard, which is all over Los Angeles. It's little Dickie hanging out of a pair of boxers like he's a penis.

And I did not, I was like, that's definitely not for me. And then enough people start, including Bill Lawrence and somebody else told me about the show, we binged it. It is so fucking funny. We were sad it was over. Wow. And it's heartfelt. It's one of those things, you know, like, you know, obviously like the show we're talking about where

you're laughing at something so preposterous one minute and then they find a way to put put heart into it and he talks all about how fucked up his penis is and we were like, you know, it can't be that bad. No, I literally, I turned to Mike Allen, I said, do you think this is all fiction or is he really have this messed up a penis? He doesn't mean small. I mean, it's small, but also like born with like birth defects that he had to have fixed and which messed it up more. And so right before this podcast, I was Googling, I was like embarrassed and laughing at myself. I'm like, is little Dickie's dick really fucked up?

And I found this article like, yeah, he was like, no bullshit. He was born with all these problems with it and he had to have it repaired and the repairs cost more problems and he said it was like a super soaker and the pee was coming out two holes and he has to plug one with his finger when he's at a urinal and all this crazy shit. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

Yeah, he's got a problematic penis. Little Dicky is a pretty, he's a very good rapper and he's a very good basketball player too. I know that's in the show and he's very funny and all of a sudden, you know who's hysterical in the show is Benny Blanco, plays himself. And he's hilarious. I mean, I've never seen the guy act before and he's just a natural. I mean, you cast him in a show that had nothing to do with playing himself and Bieber does a cameo. Anyway, that's my long plug for Dave, you'd cast him in a show that had nothing to do with playing himself. And Bieber does a cameo. Anyway, that's my long plug for Dave, you guys. I think that if you-

Hi, I'm Dave. Yeah. Hi, I'm Dave. Donald, I'm telling you, you're gonna watch this when we hang up today. Joelle, you too. You guys will crack up. When we're done with the podcast and I put the kids down tonight. Oh yeah, it's definitely not for your kids, because it's super R-rated.

But it's definitely not for your kids, because it's super R-rated. But it's funny shit. There's amazing supporting cast, and it sounds like I was paid to do an ad for it, but I'm just sharing with you that I loved it. Right on. Should we get into our show? Let's get into the show! Awesome. Awesome. We're talking about, guys... My drug buddy. My drug buddy. Great episode. Michael Spiller is back as director. And Matt Tarsis, one of our favorites. Matt Tarsis is what we Jews call a mensch, just a really sweet heart of a human being. And Matt Tarsis and I made a TV show. It's all going to come full circle. We made a TV show

called Alex Inc. that only went 10 episodes, because it didn't really click with the fans and didn't work, but we worked on it together and it was about making a podcast. And now here I made a podcast with you and the podcast we made is more successful than the darn TV show we made. That's sometimes how it works out, buddy. I know, now we're going on The View.

And now we're going on The View for a podcast. I haven't been on The View ever. Really? I do a now. We're going on the view for a pocket I haven't been on the view ever really I do you're going to you're going on the view for a podcast Yeah, yeah, well don't get into a fight with Megan McCain. You know she gets all riled up I'm not I don't talk politics. Oh yeah, and me too when I wait for me We're not gonna talk any politics. We don't want anyone mad at us Well, it's not that I don't want anyone mad at it at me. I don't want to get mad at anyone else. I just don't want to waste that energy. I know, but people get all riled up.

That's why I don't do politics on here. I don't do politics on Instagram. I hate it. I hate wasting that energy on somebody and having to listen to people's, their opinions. I know. My opinion is my opinion. Bam! In your face. That's why I'm barely even reading Twitter anymore because it's just the most it's like the most aggro

Insane place if you were if it were a town You would never go to that town ever you get into a fight It'd be the town that you go to when you're ready to fight listen. So this one's called my drug buddy great Great episode, you know what? I noticed though is that I didn't laugh out loud that much, but I still had great feelings. Like when the show was over, I was still like, that was such a good episode. But I didn't have moments where I was like. You didn't laugh out loud?

You didn't laugh out loud when Kelso, Judy's trying to get in the car and Kelso rolls down the window like a quarter inch? That shit was hilarious. No, I didn't laugh at that. You know, I did laugh. There was one moment where I laughed out loud. What? You owe me 20 bucks made me laugh so hard. Yeah that was funny. When the janitor comes up at the end after you've gotten you know after you and What about don't look? No no no. Yeah well I've seen you do that for I've seen you do that for

20 something years now since I met you you've been doing that that's my shit everyone yeah that is that was not that was not written by the legendary Bill Lawrence or this menshy Matt Tarsus you've heard about hiding nipples all me okay um so you taste like eggs so we wait we see we wake up next to the we still still haven't had sex JD and and Alex That's the point of the episode is we we've never done the deed We wake up. She says I taste like old eggs and that she likes old like sold eggs That's do you remember you've been in a relationship forever? But do you remember trying to hold your your morning breath from somebody new? No, never No, oh, I always do I always did you know, you know, when something's new and you're like, you

don't want them to think like you poo, you fart, you ever could have bad breath. You're like trying to present the best version of yourself. Nah, what you see is what you get. Really? Yeah. And you might- And that sometimes is a problem. I'm who I am from the beginning to the end of the relationship. So what makes

you fall for me- For better or worse. Right. What makes you fall for me is the same thing as the reason why you broke up with me most likely. All of this, oh, he has potential shit. No, no, no, no. It stops at the door. You walk in and bam. That's bullshit though. You've been fixed up. Casey fixed your ass up a bit. Yeah. Well, Casey's a different story. I said from the beginning to the end, I'm still in this. Oh, I see.

So you're still a work in progress is what you're saying. Look, and I've done what JD's done before too, where I've watched my wife sleep and just looked at her like, I can't believe she's my wife. That's so romantic. I've done that a couple of times, I'm not gonna lie. And then there's a time where I've looked at her like- Does Casey listen to podcasts, by the couple of times, I'm not gonna lie. And then there's a time where I've looked at it like- Does Casey listen to the podcast, by the way?

No, of course not. Only time Casey listens to the podcast is when I'm like, I talked about you on the podcast. And she's like, oh, you did, did you? Well, let me listen to the podcast. Oh, well, she's gonna love what you just said. That was very romantic. It's the truth.

Oh, that's sweet. Now, how about this monkey? How about this monkey in the marching band? Bill was so into weird animals. I mean, we always had weird animals on the show. But I love monkeys. I'm not gonna lie. I love monkeys too. And I don't know why,

I guess that monkey was not performing because he's so sped up. It's like weird. Like, I guess he, you know, it's a lot to ask a monkey to clap cymbals, but he did it. He did it. Did you see the video of that monkey

trying to kidnap that kid? No. What's that? So there's a video on Instagram of a monkey riding a bike. He jumps off the bike like a gangster, grabs a infant and snatches it up and tries to run off with this little baby. Where is this taking place? I don't know where this is.

Wherever they got monkeys riding on bicycles in the street. Oh my God. Snatches the monkey. I gotta watch that. The monkey snatches the baby and rides away and somebody's like, hey, hey, hey. And then the monkey like kind of gets scared that he's seen trying to steal a baby and rides off.

I can't watch the link right now, Dan. Why are you distracting me? You can totally write the watch. Oh, it's only 15 seconds. I'm watching now. What the the fuck why is the monkey taking the kid oh my god Indonesia Indonesia holy shit don't bring your kid to Indonesia they will rob they will steal your kid they climbing in your window they snatching your kids so Snatching your people up.

So hide your kids, hide your wife. Have you seen the monkey gangs fighting? I don't know if it's Indonesia or where, but there's this place where there's always tourism and people are always feeding all these monkeys. And because of the pandemic, nobody's feeding these hundreds and hundreds of monkeys. So they're getting in like turf wars. The gangs of different monkeys are like getting into street brawls over the scraps of food because there's no tourists feeding them. This sounds like a movie. Have you guys seen

that one? Joelle or Dan? No, I have not. I've seen this reminds me of like Watership Down or something like that where the hairs go at it with each other. Dan's going to find that video, Donald, because now you gotta see my viral monkey video. Okay, I can't wait to see it. Now, when you say that's what I'm talking about, I left out my- First time ever! I wrote that down. First time ever.

That's funny. You didn't laugh at yourself? I did. No, because I say it in real life all the time. That was kind of like your what you talking about, Willis. That was your catchphrase. That was my what you talking about, Willis. Listen, you gotta have a catchphrase.

And I did have one, you had one too. I didn't intend to, what was mine, eagle? Eagle. Eagle. By the way, speaking of my catchphrase, one of which was nobody cares Sean. I had so much people on Instagram writing, how could you guys have a Sean on the show

and not say to him nobody cares Sean? Ha ha ha ha. But listen, we have the real Scott Foley coming on. I can't wait. And... Is it true that we got Brendan Fraser coming on too? I didn't know we were gonna tell the people, but yes, we got Brendan Fraser coming on. I'm really excited about that.

Everybody wants to be on this hot podcast. You know, the one that's going on The View. Everybody wants to talk about the hottest podcast in town. Is it true that Krista Miller's coming on too? Yeah, we got Krista Miller. We got Sarah Chalk. And we got Neal Flynn coming. We got Neal Flynn. We got Johnny C. McGinley coming back.

We got Bill. For our finale of season one, you guys, you're getting all of this fucking inside scoop on this episode. We're going to have Bill and Krista on together. Oh, I love it. So they can pick her. We should see if we can get the whole cast on at one point and do like a... The only thing about that is if you've ever been on a Zoom call with more than four people,

it just devolves into mayhem. I mean, yeah, we could do it. I did a Zoom call with my family for my own birthday. Sorry, I was about to say for somebody's birthday. We've done it for a couple birthdays. But everyone's talking over everyone, and my own birthday. Sorry, I was about to say for somebody's birthday. We've done it for a couple birthdays. But like everyone's talking over everyone and my parents don't know how to use it and everybody's screaming over each other.

I, you know, it doesn't work. But no, but you're right, Donald. I wanna give the people what they want. They might want us to like read a script or something like that. Maybe we could do something like that, I don't know. I know, but Bill's not gonna go write a fucking Scrubs episode right now.

He's too busy. Okay. He's got like nine shows. Hey look at that video, Dan just put it in the chat. They want that tourist food. YOOOOO! Tariff whiplash is real, folks. In rapidly changing economic policies, they affect all of us to one degree or another. Trump 1.0, so that was more tariff talk. Now we are experiencing the widespread tariff action. Totally scattershot, totally random.

The theory, Matt, I think is that we're trading short-term pain for long-term gain. That's the tariff theory, at least. But I have a hard time envisioning the long game rosy outcomes if these policy priorities kind of continue. It can be hard to know how to react to news of accelerating layoffs, increasing stock market volatility. That's why the How to Money podcast exists.

You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. Yeah, they chasing after dude with the hook racket. Hell no. That's rival monkey gangs. Hell to the no. Hell no. All right, there you go. So we had a monkey on the episode. Yeah, sorry.

That was a long digression. We had a monkey in the episode of Scr sorry. That was a long digression. We had a monkey in the episode of Scrubs. That was a long digression. My drug buddy has a monkey. Yeah. Now, okay, how about Keep It Holy Now? That was funny, Aloma, 250. Keep It Holy Now. That one and the janitor asking you if you slept with her yet.

Yeah. Was hilarious. That's a whole runner, a whole if you slept with her yet. Yeah. Was hilarious. That's a whole runner. A whole runner of the episode. The whole show. The janitor's whole point in this episode is to make fun of me for not sleeping with my girlfriend.

With your hot girlfriend. By the way, I feel like that's a thing. JD gets these hot girlfriends and then somehow doesn't close and never sleeps with them. Remember when I got, well actually with Liz Banks, I think we had had sex, but the time I got her pregnant, we didn't have intercourse, remember? You didn't have sex, yeah. You didn't have intercourse. I said there was some... I forgot the analogy, but this whole elaborate thing about how there was fire that landed near the site.

Near the site. I wonder if you can really... I mean, I guess you probably can really get pregnant that way. There was fire that landed near the site. The site and... Yeah. I wonder if you can really... I guess you probably can really get pregnant that way. If we put it on the show, it's probably true. Yeah, someone must have Googled it. What a horrible thing to have happen. I also love that you're grace and will and grace.

You're not will, you're grace. Yeah, that makes sense. I laughed out loud, like I said, at 422 when Kelso rolls down the window and in for Judy. By the way, I totally don't remember at all this Kelso-Judy storyline, but I thought it was very funny. And they were both really good together. Yeah, they have good chemistry also. He says, I don't, it means she doesn't give a crap a cheeto. Right, yeah. It, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a great moment.

I noticed at 6.04, I'm in the on-call room with Alex, Liz Bogush, and Sarah comes in and mentions the missing Percocet, and if you know the end of the episode, you track her face, she's got a very guilty face on. Yeah, that was, like I said, man, we always dropped clues. There you go. And the way she deflected it was by saying, like when watching it this time around, knowing what the outcome was, I was like, oh my gosh,

she just totally gave it away just now. Yeah. She totally winked at the camera like I did it. Yeah, but it's funny, any time you know the end of a movie or a TV show and you go back Oh, you'll hopefully see some some little clues. Of course. I never watched this Probably I probably only watched this episode once I never noticed it but this time watching it back I noticed that either it was her choice or Spiller directed her to to give a little bit of a look

But she definitely gives a look like oh shit. Yeah, but that doesn't usually that's what I'm trying to say usually You know a lot of movies you go back and you can't find, you know, somebody, whoever wrote it or television shows too, you go back and you can't find where it all tracked from. It doesn't always track. You know who's really good at tracking things are like, you know, James Franco and Seth Rogan and them. When they write movies, like when I saw This Is the End, Franco gives you the whole plot in the beginning

of the movie of what the movie's gonna be, and you don't listen to it necessarily because you're just, you're waiting for the laughs. And at the end of the movie, it's exactly what he said to Rogen in the beginning. He's like, you know, this is gonna happen, this happens. And then at the end, Danny eats me. And then it happens in the movie.

And we do that in the movie. And we do that with Scrubs. That may have been a special case where you didn't track it because you were high off your ass. That's another thing that I've stopped recently. Conja? You talked about how you eat unhealthy and you went on this fast because you were sick.

I gave you a pep talk about your diet, yeah. Well, you also talked about it on the podcast, where you were like, we made all of this pizza, and then finally we were like, we're going to get healthy. He just showed me his abs. Yes, to inspire you. Me, Dan, and Joel, his abs. They look good.

Well, I meant to inspire you. If Dan and Joel want to be inspired as well, they can be. Very nice. Anyway, you talked about it and I was like, well, I'm doing so many horrible things. Like I made fried chicken last night. I know, you sent me a picture of you eating fried chicken. How is that gonna help your diet?

It was delicious, by the way. I'm really good at cooking now, but I can only cook bad foods, you know what I mean? And so I was like, I gotta cut this out. And so I've decided... Oh, so you gave up weed last night. You know how it is with me. When I give you these speeches... Donald is so extreme. It's not like I've been off of it for a week.

Donald is so extreme. I've only stopped smoking weed literally less than 10 hours ago. An hour ago. Donald is so funny. This is classic Donald Faison. He'll be like, yo, yo, I stopped smoking weed. I'll be like, oh man, good for you, good for you. When? Um, this morning. I woke up this morning.

But the crazy frustrating thing about you that I fucking hate is when Donald commits to getting in shape, he can do it in like a month. He'll be ripped. Like he will go so hardcore. He'll work out every day. He'll totally change his diet. And then you'll see him and he'll be like, holy shit, you did that in four weeks? And that spoiled your ass because now you know in an emergency, like if you get some part where you gotta be looking good, you can fucking

do it so fast. Right. So if you're listening, Marvel, Star Wars, if you're listening, and you're ever thinking about hiring Donald Faison, who I am. Who I am? Right, who I am. Come on, who I am. And you're like, ah, but he looks like he's out of shape right now. Know that all it takes is one month and I'm yours.

Did you see Kamal? Oh my God, he looks amazing. Fuckin' hell, man. that all it takes is one month and I'm yours. Did you see Kamal? Oh my God, he looks amazing. Fuckin' hell, man. He looks amazing, dude. He went all out. He looks like an action figure. He does look like an action figure. He looks well.

It suits him, too. It doesn't look bad on him, either. No, he looks great. And I like the fact that he shouted out his whole team that did it because I think sometimes these famous actor types, they show what they did and they don't say like, oh, and I had a chef and I had a trainer. Because you got to be honest with people and say like, hey, I had a team help me with this. And I liked when he revealed it on

Instagram that he shouted out everybody that helped him. Right. It's not something that you can do by yourself. I don't know how The Rock does it, but I'm sure The Rock has... Dude, he's a zillionaire. He literally puts up a gym wherever he goes. He's got a tent, like a wedding tent gym that gets set up wherever he goes. Yeah. The Iron Paradise. Should we get back to the episode, Donald? Let's do it. The love of God. I thought at 705, it was funny when they're online at the coffee shop,

the guys were in a giant headset. It kind of dates the show to 2001 or whatever. He's wearing like a full-on like megaphone headset Is it is it a headset so he can call out orders? No, no, no, no, no, no that this was the was a guy in line. Remember she Judy gets in a fight Oh, that's right. He's on the phone, right? But this is before the headsets got tiny, right? He had the Janet Jackson one on. Yeah, yeah, or like the... What was it? What was the boy band NSYNC or whatever that you have the big... Yeah, the big headsets. So John C and I... You're on the same peace schedule. Has that ever happened to you? No.

Me neither. I've never had to go to the bathroom at the same time as another man consistently. Like I've gone to the bathroom and another man has been in the bathroom, but I didn't go back to the bathroom four more times that day and see same dude. Yeah, it's awkward. I really hate, I agree with Johnny C. I don't like fucking urinal banter.

And I'm sure- I don't like urinal eye contact either. No, and I'm sure someone like you being in the public eye, sometimes you have people that wanna fist bump you Urinal banter. I don't like urinal odd contact either. No. I'm sure someone like you being in the public eye, sometimes you have people that want to fist bump you and talk to you in the men's room. That's no, no. No, no. Has that happened to you before?

Oh, yeah. I just want to say I love your work. People want to do hip hop hugs. People want to fist bump. Nope. Dude, I remember one time this dude, we're at the urinal and he he's like dude, I love your work and I was like, oh shit Okay, cool. And then we go to the sink Oh, and he's like and we're washing our hands. He's like I'm telling you right now man

It's so good. You shining like a gold diamond right now like a gold diamond How was the kiss? He was a great kisser. Not a great cuddler, but great kisser. I don't think... It's fine. I don't wanna talk when I'm at the urinal. Better why, speaking of headsets, you see dudes on their phone at the urinal, and they're

like, no, Jim, I told you. And they're shaking their dick, and then they pull out their phone while they're peeing, and they got their dick danglingling and they're checking their Instagram. That's not my style. Oh my gosh. That sounds horrible. Now, I notice you and Johnny, I guess it's to hide penis for the camera, but you're standing very close.

And even Joelle commented on this in her notes that she said, Joelle said, quote, do guys really stand that close to the urinal? And I want to be like, no, Joelle, no. I mean, I get this, the camera angle you had to hide your junk. Women probably want to know this, but there's all different types of urinals. There's, you know, at the stadium, there's like just a trough. And then at like a high end restaurant, there'll be like a border that like blocks like, no, this is my space. You can't look into my shit. Right, right, right. Now, and nowadays to put a little, you know, it's funny.

They put something for men to aim for because studies have found that when men have something to aim at, they're way less likely to splash everywhere. So now in the urinals, they put like an etched little bug or a little bullseye and you're supposed to, I mean, it's not, it's not, it doesn't say, please aim for the bug. You just, your brain is like, I mean, it doesn't say please aim for the bug, your brain is like, I'm gonna hit that fucking fake bug. And the physics of it, if you aim for that bug perfectly, you're least likely to splash all over the floor.

Right. I always wonder how that happens, you know what I mean? You get on a plane and you go into the bathroom on a plane and somebody has just like shit their brains out in the bathroom. Exploded. And you're like, brains out in the bathroom. It exploded. And you're like, what the fuck, dude? It exploded. I remember one time some young lady came out of the bathroom.

Turbulence, diarrhea and turbulence. One time this young lady came out of the bathroom and I saw when she came out, she was in there for a while, but when she came out, I saw that she had the moment of, I should tell you not to go in but I'm not gonna say anything because I'm a little embarrassed and I went into the bathroom and it was everywhere and I was like what are you do I wanted to come out and be like happened right what did you do what did you eat did you have the fish so when I walked by her going back to my seat when I walked by her I just looked at her and

shook my head no you, you didn't. I was like, with disapprovalment. Oh, that's fucked up. Yeah. Listen, have you ever gone into a bathroom, like an airplane bathroom, and it's just horrible? Someone just destroyed it. And you didn't. You're just going to pee or whatever and get out.

And then you were like, as you come out, the person in line, you feel like you want to tell them, like, I didn't do that. Like, whatever. I need you to know, especially when you're in the public eye, you're like, you don't want you going home and tell your friends like, Donald Faison destroyed that fucking airplane bathroom. So you got to be like, Hey, I just went and peed. I had nothing to do with shit on the ceiling. In there. I'll even come out and be like, you need to get the stewardess, because whoever was in there last, you need to get the flight attendant,

because whoever was in there last totally messed up. I had nothing to do with the stalactites on the ceiling. Right. So when Johnny sees banging his head on the wall, I remember they cut a hole in the wall into the other room and then put up a gym mat. Pad, I remember they cut a hole in the wall into the other room and then put up a gym. Matt had yeah, yeah, no Matt a gym Matt and then covered the wall again with a set wall. Yeah, whatever the set wall was and they covered it up so that he could bang his wall and not get a

concussion. And if I remember correctly, cause that bathroom that we were in was actually two rooms where they cut a hole in the wall and then just put a fake urinal against it. Well, that's how they got that shot of you. There's a shot of you straight on and the plumbing of the urinals in the foreground. They could have never gotten that shot if that wall wasn't removable,

or they could have rigged that little plumbing thing right in front of the camera. I don't know what they did. Also, the hospital didn't have bathrooms like that, if you recall. Right. It didn't have shared men's rooms like that. Right. I don't think. Right. Yeah. Right. And if it did, if it did, there were no urinals on the wall. You had to go into a stall. Yeah. It's very hard to shoot in a bathroom anyway. So you and Johnny, that's your whole arc.

Actually, there's a lot more to the arc. I never remembered at all that it was this blatant that Cox had a whole thing for Carlo. Yeah. I mean, you guys have it out at the end. Yeah. And that's what I was trying to tell Johnny, and he was like, I didn't believe it. I'm like, all right, well, whatever, man. But we have him on. He's coming back on.

So we got to we can ask him about this. Right. I laughed when you went. I went. I laughed when you went, you're my little pea buddy. Right. Right. I remember I remember when we were shooting this. This is when I was like, wow. And I even said to him, Johnny, don't intimidate me. And he was like, I'm not intimidating you, man. Don't,

you know, shut the fuck up with that. And I was like, you're right. Let me just, let me do my work. And I remember being very excited to work with John because I, you know, this, this was really my first moment ever that we had multiple scenes together. And your first story arc together. Right, and so we were working together multiple days. It wasn't just one day of filming. And we got to develop some form of timing together

because we didn't necessarily have that at this point. So wait, when you started this episode, you said to him, like, don't intimidate me? We were doing the scene where we're face to face. And Johnny's an intimidating person. Right. But he was in character. He's supposed to be trying to intimidate you.

Right. But as a young actor who's working with somebody you admire and you're doing stuff like that, you know, I got nervous and I mumbled out, please come on man, don't intimidate me. He's like, shut the fuck up. I'm not intimidating you, just do the scene. And I was like, you're absolutely right,

you're absolutely right. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it worked out because I think you guys are really great together, it's very funny. Johnny, you know, he always was kind of, you know, think about it, when he was on set, kind of in character as Cox. He was always kind of like, he's one of those guys,

some actors, not like on the Daniel Day Lewis level you hear where someone's like, you have to call him President Lincoln, but he was always, a lot of people stay kind of roughly, Manny Patinkin did that in Wish I Was Here. He would be on set, he'd kind of be being the guy even when you weren't shooting. And then you'd call rap and he'd be like, hey, that was a great day, man. See you tomorrow.

Big hug. And Johnny, I feel, was like that. He would kind of, you know, he was always kind of, don't you think, kind of stay a little bit in the Cox character? And I think that's what everybody interprets as, he's intense and stuff like that. And why people are nervous when they work with him for the first time, because they misconstrue that as this dude is 100% method or this dude is an asshole or this dude's just too intense for me.

And what he was doing was just being Cox when Cox is in the hospital when we worked together. Yeah. You know, I was very excited to work with the man. I thought it was... And I love the way the story arc ends. I love that we... He's trying to hide it from everyone,

that he's in love with Carla. And we figure it out. And you and I figure it out, but she hasn't figured it out yet. Which is really weird. Wait, does Carla not know that Johnny sees... No, she doesn't. I feel like women know right away. No, I think that's bullshit. I think a lot of women are like, we're just friends. And I wanna be like, have you not seen When Harry Met Sally? Watch that shit.

I think they say we're just friends to push you into a friend's, into the friend zone. Anytime a woman goes, no, we're just friends, she knows what's going on in your mind. I disagree. I disagree. Oh, absolutely! No. Absolutely. No, no, no, no. Let's ask Joelle. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, before Joelle answers, I want to say something. I'm not talking about, I'm talking about how many times have you spoken to a woman, whether it be your wife or a girlfriend or someone else in your life, and you go, you know that guy, straight guy friend you have wants to sleep with you, right? And they're like, what?

No, we're just friends. My wife doesn't have any straight friends. That guy's. Well, back in the day she might have. Yes, she does. No, she doesn't. All right, well back in the day. Other than you, should I tell her

that you wanna sleep with her? I would. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Just kidding. She fine as hell. She is fine.

No, she is fine. No, but you know what I'm talking about. Jewel, do you know what I'm talking about? I do know what you're talking about and I think it depends on the person. I don't think we can paint the entire female gender as being aware or unaware. I think I've definitely seen some ladies in their time

use the sexual attraction to their advantage and be like, oh, no, we're just friends. We're not even friends, but they knew. But I've also seen plenty of women who were just like, wait, what? I just thought we were just vibing, I thought your friends were cool. Right. I think when Harry met Sally is a really great articulation for this. It's like, if you're friends for a certain amount of time, and let's say you're a man and woman and you're both heterosexual and let's say single at the time, I just have trouble believing that one

of those parties isn't attracted to the other. I Agree with you 100% I feel like somebody is always Attracted I look I don't I don't I can't I can't sit here and say I have You know other than people colleagues that I work with I don't have like a girlfriend that I call up and I'm like Yeah, of course not not anymore anymore, dude. You're marrying is inappropriate, but I'm saying back in the day. No, I wanted to sleep with them. Yeah. That's honest. That's the honest to goodness' truth.

Yeah, exactly. Back in the day, if I had a friend. That was a long way around the block to get to that. But back in the day, if I had a friend and she was a girl. Yeah, and she was attractive and you were attracted to her? She didn't necessarily even have to be the hottest person on the planet.

Listen, friends, it's not about looks, it's also about how the person makes you laugh and how they make you feel and stuff like that. All of that goes into what's attractive to you. You know what I mean? Like Zach, you aren't the most beautiful man on the planet, but if you were a female, dude. What the hell are you talking about?

Oh, you're saying- If you were a female, we would've got married. Yeah. You would've got married. Yeah. I have the weirdest boner right now. Oh God. Oh. Should we get back to the episode? Oh, we should probably take a break.

We're still in the episode, let's go do a break. We gotta take a break, I gotta cool down. I gotta take a cold shower We still have an episode. Let's go do a break. We gotta take a break. I gotta cool down. I gotta take a cold shower. It's so hot. Tariff whiplash is real, folks. In rapidly changing economic policies, they affect all of us to one degree or another. Trump 1.0, so that was more tariff talk.

Now we are experiencing the widespread tariff action. Totally scattershot, totally random. The theory, Matt, I think is that we're trading short-term pain for long-term gain That's the tariff theory at least but I have a hard time envisioning the long-game rosy outcomes if these policy priorities kind of continue It can be hard to know how to react to news of accelerating layoffs increasing stock market volatility That's why the how to money podcast exists We cut through the hype to give you crucial information that can help you to achieve your money goals

podcasts. We watch your whiz at McDonald's. It's been brought to my attention that when we come back from break, Dan, that you've chosen the section of the song that's the old one without the mm-hmm. But before you correct it, I've had people tell me on Instagram they like it because they know it's not gonna be there and they do the mm-hmm themselves to the song. Oh my gosh.

So you might be saying you did that on purpose, Dan. I find it amazing that the mm-hmm is so important to everyone. I get it. No, it is. important to everyone. I get it. No, I get it. I get it It's amazing to me that without it some of you get very upset. Yeah Well, I like our fan our fan participation. I gotta tell you they weigh in passionately passionately Yeah, you know they were talking about today. I someone me, when are you guys going to do merch? And I said, oh, it's funny.

We were just kind of shooting the shit about that. What do you guys want? And I had like dozens and dozens of people saying they want Donald on a beach towel. Let's do it. I would love to have you on a beach towel. It's that episode, people. It is that episode.

I would. Well, no, no. I don't mean, stop. No, I moved on from the homoeroticism. I'm just saying your cute face on a beach towel would be delightful. Or a mug, I was thinking a mug that's your face, right? And then when you pour hot water in it,

it changes to my face. That's hilarious. Joelle, you like that, right? That's hilarious. That's probably gonna cost a lot of money. Yeah, that would. You know, it's funny, most podcasts, I didn't realize from podcasts, like merch was so important, but I guess a lot of podcasts sell mugs and t-shirts.

And then when they asked us- But we're working on it. I know, but when I Hard asked us, what do you guys want to sell? Like, Dolan and I were like, oh, mugs that change color, towels, tiki necklaces, like the most elaborate shit. They were like, well, we were thinking mugs. Right, we were thinking maybe pen, like a pen or something like that. How about like a button? Like a button that says fake doctors, real friends on it.

Yeah. How about a button? I do like the idea of T-shirts and stuff like that. Yeah, I have a very fun. I just have funny. I was laughing about funny merch ideas. I guess it's a T-shirt or a mug. OK, I have a question. Let's get back to the show. I have a question. Is it asking me to sing from Pippin? Because I'm prepared.

I warmed up. No, I was going to go into Pippin, but we can go into Pippin after. Everything has its season. Go ahead. Oh, gosh. Zach. You want to go into Pippin now?

It was my audition song when I was a child. OK, so for those who don't know, Zach Braff is heavily into musical theater. He's so heavily into musical theater. Well, not really anymore, but go ahead. He's so, or he was so heavily into musical theater when he was a kid, he went away to camp. Yeah, theater camp.

That was musical theater camp. Yeah, called Stage Door Manor. And my father said as I was packing for musical theater camp, he said, well, I guess you don't need to bring a mitt. A baseball mitt. I was like, no, Dad, but hand me over my Ben Nye makeup kit. Because we're going to work on under eye. We're gonna work on how to do southern freckles.

So, because of that, was this something that you wrote? Was this your joke that you wrote? No, but it's hilarious. I mean... It's a great joke. I wish I wrote it. My son... My nephew. I was supposed to see my nephew tonight in Pippin. Who's he playing?

Pippin. Pippin. It's Aloma's delivery. Like, Aloma's delivery has a little bit of like, how dare you imply that my nephew's not the lead? She's like, Pippin? Right. Bitch, she's like, Pippin, bitch?

Now Pippin in the original Broadway show. Oh, you're not gonna know this, are you? Was played by Ben Varine, am I correct? No, no, very good, very good. Fuck up and thank you for asking. The original Pippin was played by Michael Weston's father, John Rumenstein. Wow.

And for those of you who don't know, Michael Weston played private dancer on Scrubs and he was in my film Garden State, he was in my film Wish I Was Here, he's a wonderful actor. He was also in the other movie you did with all those other actors, Casey Affleck and... Oh yeah, The Last Kiss. He was in The Last Kiss. Michael and I have done... We used to live together. He's done a couple of movies. You've done like four movies together now.

Yeah. Ben Varane, best song in the show. Join us, leave your fields to flower. Leave your fields to flower. Join us. Leave your cheese to sour. Join us. Come and waste an hour or two. Doodly doo, elude. So it's a really great show, and it's about a guy looking

for trying to figure out who he wants to be and it's very 70s and very sexual and I think Bob Fosse choreographed it and anyway so when I was a kid auditioning for musicals like musical theater camp I would do one of Pippin's songs was just corner of the sky everything has its season everything has its time show me a reason and I'll show you a rhyme. Very pretty song. Wait, let me get to the chorus for you. Don't pour us, get to the chorus.

Do you remember it? Hold on, shut up. Rivers belong where they can ramble, eagles belong, eagles, eagles, eagles, eagles belong where they can fly. I've got to be where my spirit can run free. Gotta find my corner of the sky. Dan, big round of applause there.

Dan, can you do thunderous applause there? So yeah, I did go to theater camp. I loved it. It's actually what started my acting career. And it was like you going to that fame school. How did you find out about theater camp? That's the question. I didn't want to go to, you know,

my dad was doing community theater and he was a lawyer, but his hobby was, he was always in the plays and he was amazing. He was, you know, you knew my dad. He was charming and funny and he was always, always got the leads. So I would go as a little kid and, you know, eight years old and watch my dad in the local play

be the lead and make everybody laugh. And I was like, I told you this. I was like, I wanna be this. This is a job. I wanna be a part of this. And then the normal camp... Again, normal camps had so much to do with sports. It wasn't exciting me. And my parents were like, there are theater camps. And I was like, go on. And I went to one called Bravo first, and then that one closed down. And then I went to Stage Door, which is still alive and very, very much alive. It's like the most popular one. At 12 18, when I say to Elliot, I'm sorry, but you had your chance with me.

I literally said out loud, oof. Like I told you, I've been writing down my, my, my LOLs. I literally wrote down, oof. Wow, like that was so fucked up to say that And not only was it fucked up, but it was just I mean, it's totally fucked up, but it's so below the belt, dude It's like who would say that I mean, it's right a dicky thing to say and even if she's not even if she's not jealous You know what she turns out to be at the end, what a dick, dude.

What a dick. What a dick. JD was such a dick. Yeah, he was. For that. But it worked. I know. The fucked up thing is that it worked, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

1352, Cox knows your name. First time he ever knows it. Does he? Yeah, he calls you Turk. He goes, your name's Turk? Oh, that's right. So right, right, right. That's how he finds he calls me Turk. He goes, your name's Turk. Oh, that's right. So, right, right, right. That's how he finds out I'm Turk. Your Turk. Got it. Got it. Yeah. When you show up, when you show up to the surgical consult, do you remember this? Yeah. Do you, but do you

remember it? I remember from watching. Do you remember how I couldn't get surgical consult right? And so I wrote the song. Did someone call for a surgical consult? And I did that for like 20 minutes before we shot this episode. For this episode? Because it was a tongue twister surgical consult? Not only that I just couldn't put together surgical consult. Like I walked in the room a couple of times and was like did somebody call for a and I didn't know what a surgical consult was and so because I didn't know what a surgical consult was. And so because I didn't know what a surgical consult was, I couldn't fath, I couldn't put it together in my brain.

So did someone explain to you what a surgical consult was? No, I just sang a song called Surgical Consult. See, that's interesting. See, Donald has, your way of learning would be like, I know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna turn that fucking shit into a song, and that's how you learned it. And that's what I did. Yeah.

Surgical consult. Surgical consult. I remember, I remember the, that was one of the first times in the show where I was like, I'm costing the crew all of this time right now because I can't get this line right. I went home and I know I studied this shit, but for some reason this, this word sounds foreign to me. And so because it sounds foreign to me, I can't deliver it the way I want to deliver it. And so I sang it over and over and over again.

And when I finally felt like I could throw it away and it wasn't something that I had to think about, no problem. Bam, there it was. That's good. That's a good trick. It's always good to have those little devices. Yeah, well, we need them. I have a device that I learned where if you try to remember someone's name, you picture someone that you know from your past, who has that name, in their exact position.

And then you'll always remember the person's name. Does that work? Yes. Okay. I'll tell you, try it. If you're listening, you really gotta, I gotta remember this guy's name. I want you to pick someone from your history,

and let's say they're a barista at the Starbucks you go to or whatever, and you're like, oh my God, I know this guy, I gotta remember, well they have name tags, so it doesn't count. But you know what I mean, someone who you're like, I really wanna remember this person's name. Picture someone from your past, the weirder and the more eccentric, the better,

in that exact spot. And then it'll lock in and you'll always remember their name. I have played myself the way JD played himself when he was like, when he went home that night and he put roses on the bed. You've done that? Oh, dude, I remember one time, I'm not even sure if it was a definite thing, but this young lady who I was dating at the time,

and we were pretty young, so it took, it wasn't like we were having sex, so we were leading up to that. She was like, yeah, maybe I'll come over. And I was like, I'm going to be romantic. And I went to Pizza Hut, because that's what I had money for. And I got two personal pan pizzas. And I put it on the floor in my room at my mom's house.

And I took the blanket off of my bed and put it on the floor. First of all, I cleaned my room also. Right. How old are you in this story? I don't want to talk about age. Age is important. It'd be funny if you were like, what do you mean, 35? Right. Age isn't important at this point. Age isn't important at this point. And I put a blanket down. I got a brick to hold the blanket down in the middle of the blanket and put candles on the brick.

Whoa, classy. Lit the candles, set up the pizzas with the soft drinks, and waited for her to come over. And she didn't come over. Oh, that's rough. And when I look back, I remember calling her and be like, well, you didn't come over. And she was like, I told you, well maybe I'd come over. And I took the maybe as she's coming over. Wow.

And I played myself hard. And that young woman's name, Rihanna. Right, and that young woman's name was Beyonce Knowles. I once really liked a girl when I was living in Manhattan out of college and I'm not much of a cook, but I asked my stepfather, who's a really good cook, for a recipe to impress this girl. And so I spent the whole day, this was first date.

I knew her though. I knew her, but this was the first time I was asking her out. And we were going to meet at my apartment and then I was going to take her to Cirque de Soleil. So I spent money on like Cirque de Soleil tickets. I didn't have, you know, I was a PA, I didn't have much money. And I spent the whole day, I was so excited. She came over and she was so pissed off about her day

and rambling about her day. And yeah, this happened and my boss was da-da-da-da-da. She barely even acknowledged the fact that I had spent this entire day making her dinner. Did she, well, did you say I spent the entire day making this? No, I didn't wanna be like, I didn't wanna rub it in, but I was like, I making her dinner. Did she, well, did you say I spent the entire day making this? No, I didn't wanna be like, I didn't wanna rub it in, but I was like, I made you dinner, like, this happens all the time

when you're dating me. And, uh. Right. And, uh. Did she eat any of it? I think she nibbled on it and was unimpressed and I never really made anyone food again. Did you take her to Cirque du Soleil?

Yeah, I did. I fucking, but yeah, I took her to Cirque du Soleil and Yeah, I did. I took her to Cirque du Soleil and then I think, you know, she had a good time and I think I got friend zoned. And then you got friend zoned. Yeah. Well, so there you go. And since then, I never made anyone dinner again. I hear that. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Tariff flip-flash is real, folks. In rapidly changing economic policies, they affect all of us to one degree or another. Trump 1.0, so that was more tariff talk. Now we are experiencing the widespread tariff action.

Totally scattershot, totally random. The theory, Matt, I think is that we're trading short-term pain for long-term gain. That's the tariff theory, at least. But I have a hard time envisioning the long-game rosy outcomes if these policy priorities kind of continue.

Okay. Oh, what's up guys? What's up guys? Welcome to Fank Under's Real Friends. Let's, Joelle, do a formal introduction now that we're all here. We have Emmanuel! And he, I stole it, I stole it! Yeah, take it Joelle, take it Joelle. And he works at a children's hospital. Yes, yes. Come on, talk on the show. That's so amazing. That's so amazing, man. Thank you for being I imagine you're you're out there being a frontline worker as we speak.

Yes, yes, yes. And, you know, I wouldn't I'd be remiss if I didn't introduce my roommate who also works in the hospital. He's an administrator at the VA hospital system. Wow, wow. You guys are the perfect guests for our show. Wow, Joelle, good producing. You got some solid guests. Joelle's the best. So what's it been like these days at a children's hospital? Because we hear out in the world that children aren't getting affected as much, but then of course now we're hearing in New York some are. What's it like these days? Yeah, so it's funny.

So during the height of the COVID epidemic, we weren't getting as many kids, at least not as much. So I work in the ICU in the Children's Hospital. So we weren't getting as much in the ICU. But now lately we've been getting what they've been talking about, the news, the whole systemic inflammatory response, like post-COVID type of thing.

So that's very interesting to see, because we weren't seeing a lot and people were saying kids weren't getting affected as much. And now we're seeing them come in with all these different symptoms. And so you know, it's, it's a learning experience, but we have seen something similar. It's similar to like the Kawasaki disease that they're talking about. We have an idea of how to like treat it. But um, but it's just interesting to see that it's popping up now, you know, Are kids making full, I know there are some that didn't make recoveries, but are kids

making full recoveries? Like you hear about patients that get COVID and you know, their bodies have been pretty much destroyed by the virus. Yeah. What about with the children? Are the children making the recovery with this new? Kawasaki yeah, I was talking thing. Yeah, so thankfully most of the patients that I've taken care of personally have recovered I mean, you know, there are some cases that I'm sure have not gone our way But for the most part from what I've been seeing

Personally like our patients have been recovering and a lot of them have been doing pretty well when you went to nursing school And you obviously could choose any area, you chose what I would imagine is the most hardcore thing, being an ICU nurse at a pediatric hospital. I mean, you must have days where you're, I mean, you must have days where you're just emotionally crushed. So I chose pediatrics because when I was younger,

I was hospitalized for a bit. And so I remember like, you know, all the nurses that took care of me. And so when I became a nurse, I kind of wanted to give back and take care of those patients. And it is very, you know, emotionally heavy sometimes. But, you know, I work with such amazing people and you can always rely on them. And then I got a guy right here who's in the health field, so we can always talk to him. And I got, and I just let, I have a good the health field. So we could always talk to him. And I got and I just let I have a good support network of people that I could always talk to and rely on if I'm feeling down. And you know, thankfully, we have more good days than bad days.

And so you kind of rely on those to kind of get you through. Do you feel like the bad days are behind you right now? As far as far as what we're dealing with? I thought so, but with this new Kawasaki thing, we're definitely seeing more patients. That's like in our ICU, we're having more of those kinds of patients in there, but thankfully a lot of them are doing good. So I remain hopeful still. Right on.

Well, I mean, I got to tell you, I've spent some time in ICUs because I had a very sick sister and a very sick father. And you know, when these ICU nurses, they're like superheroes. When you have someone who's just so responsive and so on it, you wanna hug them because by the time you're in an ICU, things are pretty dire.

And so I'm virtually hugging you right now. You're getting a virtual COVID proof hug. I'm doing it. It looks like I'm saying Wakanda forever. Yeah. That is a hug. That is a hug, brother. I'll take either one. Both Wakanda forever and a hug.

Oh, God. All right. Do you guys have a question for us? That's what we're here to do, to answer any questions. We do. He's got a book. You know, we have some people come on, Emmanuel, and we ask him, do you have a question, the whole point of coming on the show? And they're like, what now? A question? And now Emmanuel pulled out a binder.

A loose leaf binder. Go ahead. All right. So I know you guys had talked about why you guys are doing the show, bringing yourselves We are, we're chopping the middle. Go ahead. Alright. So I know you guys had talked about why you guys are doing the show, bringing yourselves into the character and making it a little bit easier to play. But one thing I wanted to, is there anything about the character that you played that you brought into your own personal lives? Is there anything about Turk that I brought into my own personal life?

Yeah, I bought JD. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. That's the best answer actually. But I brought out like, think of like when you're adjusting a picture and you can crank the saturation. I brought out Donald's feminine side.

You did. That you did. Because when I first met Donald, he had a lot of this love of musicals and being silly and shit inside of him, but his front was like, yo, yo, yo, let's go play basketball. And now look at him, he's fucking singing Pippin left and right. You know, I went to school with a bunch of theater kids and stuff like that. And I remember being like, those suckers, a bunch of theater kids. Right. And now I look back at it. I'm like, I wish I was a theater.

They used to sing all of these songs and stuff like that. And I wanted to sing the songs, but you know, I was a sucker. I was just a sucker. And now I look at it and I'm like, yeah, you know, yeah. So there is that, there is that. A lot of the things that JD and Turk did as best friends opened me up to be way more comfortable around men than I was before.

And not to say that I wasn't comfortable around men, but you know. it's different. It's way different now. Yeah. You know what I mean? You're more comfortable just being whoever, I mean, obviously correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're saying is you're more comfortable

just being whoever you are. I think as young men, we have to put up, we always put up all these, and obviously I can't speak for the women's experience, but as a young man, you feel like you have to put up all we always put up all these, obviously I can't speak for the women's experience, but as a young man you feel like you have to put up all these fronts, like I'm tough and I'm straight, and anything you did that was slightly effeminate, you know, high school kids and middle school kids

were like, oh, you're so fucking gay, and all this shit. And I think what I felt with Scrubs brought out in me, and I think, Donald, was like, all right, I'm just gonna be whoever I am and be that. Yeah, right. And I knew that it was an issue for other people. When I made a comment when playing basketball, I made a comment like, you know, like I said something silly like my nipples are hard,

and the dude that I was playing basketball with was like, yo, man, come on man, what the heck man, what the, what's going on with that? And I was like, oh you have, you are not comfortable, you have your own issues right? That's not my issue, that's your issue. Yeah, yeah. That's a good answer Don,

I don't know if I can top Donald's answer, but I will say, and this is not just because you're a hero, ICU nurse, I think I brought full on respect for what, even though we were faking it, what it's like to work in this profession and such a respect for people who work in the medical field and how hard it is.

And Donald and I had the luxury of pretending to be doctors and getting the fun of pretending to be doctors and getting the fun of pretending to save lives and pretending to come to the rescue. And now, as a younger man, when we were doing the show, I didn't have that many experiences. But then after living many more years and had more life experiences where I was just pleading with medical professionals to save important lives to me. I think I had so much more respect, especially now with this COVID insanity and people fighting back against medical professionals. I don't know if you saw that amazing shot of the nurse

standing in the crosswalk when there was an anti-COVID lockup protest. It reminded me of the guy standing in front of the tank. The tank. Yeah. And I just thought, I don't know, I have so much respect and love for nurses and doctors and EMTs and paramedics. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a paramedic. I thought there's nothing more badass about flying down the street in an ambulance to

come to the rescue. I agree with that too. I take my health way more serious now. You know what I mean? Before I was very afraid to go to the hospital, there was something scary about going to the hospital, especially as an African-American male. It seems like, you know, a lot of my relatives

and everything didn't go to the hospital until it was the last resort. It's the last thing that I, I've tried every home remedy I could do. This infection isn't going away. I'm going to fight it. I'm going to fight it. I'm going to fight it. Holy cow.

I can't feel my leg. I think I should go to the hospital now. You know what I mean? I think while making scrubs, it became, all right, I don't need to be afraid of because they're not gonna kill me if I go. I might die if I don't go though. So let me take care of what's going on with me as soon as it pops up.

And then I became a hypochondriac. And now all of a sudden, I was at the hospital like every five seconds. If I had a, you know, my nose was running, I was like, going to the doctor real quick. Donald always thinks he has the worst thing. He's that guy. I'd be like, dude, it's a zit. It's a tumor. They just say, better to be safe than sorry, right? Yeah. All right. Do you guys have another question for the legendary Donald Faison? Yes. It's a tumor. Right. They just say better to be safe than sorry, right? Right.

You guys have another question for the legendary Donald Faison? Yes. Can they hear me? So Dr. Cox was your mentor on the show. Do you guys have like a mentor in real life during your acting careers? Wow. Very good question. So many, whether they realized they were my mentors and not, I have so many mentors.

Bill Lawrence has been a mentor to me. He taught me how to tell a joke. I feel like I might have always been funny, you know, but there's a process to telling a good joke. And when you stumble on words that are meaningful for the punchline, it makes it so the joke doesn't work. And so because of that, I've been very lucky to work with someone like Bill Lawrence, who really taught me the anatomy of a joke and how to tell a joke. He's one person.

Denzel Washington my whole life, whether he knows it or not after working with him on Remember the Titans 2 you know, he's always been a hero of mine and also a mentor, you know his if you listen to interviews with Denzel Washington and you know, he's just a very deep mind and a Very very good actor and so he's one of those people that I've always looked up to. And when I finally got to meet him, he's definitely a hero and a mentor. When you were on that movie, did he ever say any,

did he ever give any tips? Yeah, he gave one tip one time. Mostly he led by example. He was very hard worker, you know what I mean? And comes to work prepared, and to get you prepared, he'll run lines with you over and over and over and over again, right? So that when the camera rolls, you're ready to play.

But he gave me one bit of advice because we were, it's a bunch of young men, we're all in our early twenties and we're messing around and we're, you know, it's a movie about football players and we're doing, you know, we're giving each other elbows and, you know, it's a movie about football players and we're doing, you know, we're giving each other elbows and, you know, pretending that we're punching each other in the face and everything like that, because we're all young men. And he was like, you know, I did this movie, Glory. And I was like, go on.

Go on. And he was like, there was somebody in the cast who used to do what you guys are doing right now. And I remember him looking at me cause I was very excessive about, you know, one, I played around way too much. Still to this day, I play around way too much when working. And he was like, and this dude would play around

and he would pretend to punch people in the face and act like he was gonna, you know, and he would be joking. And one day he slipped and hit an extra in the face. Somebody who was, you know, been around the set and everything like that and laughed it off and he punched this guy in the face, accidentally, but still punched this guy in the face.

And the guy started crying and taking off his jacket cause he knew I'm about to kick this man's ass and get fired This is the end of me ever being in this movie and I've been here for a while and I like these people I'm about to kick this dude's ass though because he punched me in the face The guy Apologizes and apologize. It doesn't need to go there brother. No, please. No, no, no, let's not do this let's you know and

finally, you know, they calm the guy down and it's all right, don't worry, let's work this out. But he was like, you know, you guys are playing around so damn much, somebody's gonna catch a fence to this and get hurt. And you're not gonna be able to talk them back. So my advice to you all, as he's looking at me, is to shut this shit down, Stop doing this." And I remember

being like, you're absolutely right. Because if I punch that dude in the face accidentally, he's not going to care if it was an accident or not. He's going to be upset and want to break me up. Right. That's an amazing story. And I just love that Denzel was like, so I did this film, Glory. I would say for me, I mean, the first answer is obviously Bill Lawrence who created the show. He taught me so much about acting and directing and how to the business. Some people are good writers, but they're not savvy about the business and how to navigate the business. Some people are good writers, but they're not savvy about the business and

how to navigate the business. And Bill taught Dyle and I both a lot about how to navigate Hollywood and how to navigate the industry. And you're never on a job for nine years. So it was like grad school. We learned so much over the course of nine years. And to this day, when I have a script that I'm writing, I give it to Bill. When I have a first edit of a movie I'm directing, I show Bill and he comes in and gives me really tough notes and good notes. So Bill first and foremost, and then I guess my version of the Denzel thing

is I just got to work with Robert De Niro in a film and he's a huge hero of mine and just watching the way he worked and how humble he was and how he I just being on set with a legend like that I felt like I was becoming a better actor and there were a handful of little things he did that I was like oh I'm going to try and do that next time and he's just a huge inspiration to me. I love that man. Donald? I'd give him another question if you guys have one more. And he's just a huge inspiration to me. I love that man.

Donald? I'd give him another question if you guys have one. They're very nice. Can I ask one question? They're very nice. We're going long though. We're going long. I know. Let's keep it short because people don't wanna hear

an hour and a half. Oh, this might be a little, Zach, it's like three months into COVID and the George hair is going extra long. So I need to know your shampoo and conditioner. Well, here's the trick. I'm going to tell you something that some people, some people are going to think it's nasty, but don't wash your shit.

Let it get dirty. Wait, what? Wait a second. Baldi, you are not allowed to weigh in on this conversation. I have, I have, I might not have a lot of hair, but I have hair. Yeah. Number one, number two, when he said have a lot of hair but I have hair, number one. Number two, when he said shit he meant don't wash your hair. Oh yeah. Not don't wash your body.

Do you guys use a washcloth in the shower? We're having a debate on the, a loofah. Do you use a loofah? Yeah. I used to use a washcloth. Yeah because you're black man, that's why. it's a thing. I grew up that way. That's why. White people don't use washcloths, apparently. Yeah. Awesome. Speaking of that, one thing we noticed, we were just watching the show.

Everyone got shoes on in the house. They sleep with their shoes on. What's up? I never slept with my shoes on. No, in the show, in the scrub show. Because we just wanted to make out with the. And I had shoes on. No, not you.

Oh me. Yeah. I will say, I think in the senior, you know, about this episode that we watched. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if Sarah chalk throws you to the bed and mounts you, you're not going to be thinking about your sneakers, bro. Fair enough. All right.

No, um, my hair, I, I, I don't wash a lot because I feel when I wash it, I don't like the way it looks, but when I let it have its natural juices, it has a nice... That's from coming to America, dude. What? Damn, boy, what you put in your hair? You got nothing. I just got juices and berries. Oh, man, that ain't nothing but ultra perm.

All right, on that note, we're going to go. Thank you but ultra perm. All right. On that note, we're going to go. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you for coming on the show. Thank you for all the laughs. Thank you.

Our pleasure. Our pleasure. Wait, lastly, we got to end this fucking thing. It's going so long, but I do want to say, listen, I'm going to get into your favorite ... Star Wars and sex. I know, bro. I'm going to get right into it. You think I was going to miss your favorite topic?

I'm just putting right into it. You think I was gonna miss your favorite topic? I'm just putting it out there now this episode has a Phantom Menace diss in it and I want to know you and Joel Mr. And Mrs. Star Wars thoughts on the Phantom Menace diss I don't like that they that they're they diss the Phantom Menace even though at one point I was one who didn't I didn't appreciate the Phantom Menace as much as I should have. Dave Filoni, the king that he is when it comes to Star Wars, talks about on this new Mandalorian documentary series that they got going, which I've been watching.

I'm gonna have to watch that. It's really, as a going, which I've been watching. I'm gonna have to watch that. It's really, as a director, you're gonna love it. You know, I'm friends with, not to name drop, but I'm friends with Deborah Chow, who is one of the main directors of Mandalorian. And she was telling me, she's like, "'Zack, you gotta come see how we shoot the show.

"'It is unlike anything you've ever seen.'" Dude, if you go, please take me with you. Joval is waiting for it. Isn't she directing like all of the Obi-Wans? She is directing every episode of Obi-Wan. Oh my gosh. Can you just tell her you have a friend? I will. She's the ultimate cool kid. I believe that they are doing the Obi-Wans in the UK. I would live in the UK for a little bit. I will travel. But she was telling me, and I'm gonna watch the documentary because I've been hearing about it, that Favreau took this technology that he developed for Jungle Book and the other films and kind of took it to the next level. It's amazing. Anyway, Filoni's talking about how

in The Phantom Menace, that movie sets off everything. And I was like, yeah, of course it sets off everything. It's episode one. He's like, but in the documentary, he's like, no, if Qui-Gon Jinn would have won the fight against Darth Maul, Anakin Skywalker's path as a Jedi would have been way better than what he was given because Obi-Wan didn't look... I know it's... You're laughing. I just wish the fans could see what I'm looking at. I'm totally zoned out already and Joel is furiously nodding like Donald is a preacher and she's in the choir.

But look, Obi-Wan Kenobi was never a father figure for Anakin Skywalker. And that was something that he was missing his whole life. You know what I mean? He was born from the force. His mother wasn't with anyone. There was no male that raised him. And if Qui-Gon would have won,

that father figure would have been in place and he would have grown to be a better Jedi. Not necessarily. So when Qui-Gon dies, that's Anakin's first failure. Not his on purpose, but that's the first thing that fails in his life. Then he loses his mother. Then he loses his wife. And now he's freaking Darth Vader And when I heard that I had already had an appreciation for the Phantom Menace But that makes the movie 20 times even better now. All right. Well if you if you're if you happen to still be listening I think it should because there's a lot of die-hard fans just like you two and they'll probably love this No, not Qui-Gon

Star Wars and sex I like that Star Wars and sex are married together in this episode Okay. Well, let's wrap this episode up by talking about the big Elliot JD kiss. It's very exciting it was I thought I was I thought it was romantic and well written and well shot and And and granted very well performed. I think right off the bat you could see that Elliot and JD had chemistry and it was romantic and sweet and I liked it. Yeah, I was going to say so far this is one of my favorite episodes that we've watched and it's not necessarily the funniest episode but it kind of reminds me of a John Hughes

movie. It kind of reminds me of, you know, the movies that I grew up on where the nerd in the movie is chasing after this young lady this whole time, right? And his best friend is right there next to him, his female best friend is right there next to him, and he doesn't realize that his best friend is the better choice for him. And he's chasing after something

that seems to be the right idea, and then at the end of it, he realizes, oh, that wasn't, she wasn't what I was looking for and the best friend goes, I know because I am. Yeah. And I like that Sarah, and I like that Elliot made the move. I thought that was kind of cool that she was the one who stood up and like went for it.

Like she was the one who said no, cause I did, I did. I was jealous. I was jealous. Yeah. who said no because I did I did I was jealous I was jealous yeah and then you know it's it's it's meant to be a little bit of an edit but she looks like she pushes me down a whole hallway into the bed right like you stumble all the way back I did like no I did like a fucking matrix fucking shit down the way she pushed me like I was Keanu down the whole hallway.
