• 1:10
  Speaker 1: talking about this for a long time. We've been trying
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. I've been teasing social media, as
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: have you been.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've been teasing social media a little bit more
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: than I have.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But I know because I wanted to get people tittilated. Donald,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to titillate the masses.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, let's thank iHeartRadio first of all for putting this
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and helping us Pat Desault.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We had to figure out who to do it, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we found a perfect partner with iHeart, and we want
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to thank them. And also we want to thank the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: fans across the universe, because I just think it's to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: be crazy for us not to start with saying we
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the just
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: incredibly loyal, amazing fan base we have around the earth,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: right Donal.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, all of you who watched the

  Speaker 2: show and who are listening to this podcast right now. Wow,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we appreciate you so much. Thank you so much.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. I mean, this has been so many
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: years of love for this show. And you know it's funny.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Donald, you have this experience too, where people
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: come up to the street like I'm sure this is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: so annoying, but I just want to say I love
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the show, and I'm like I'm always like, it's not annoying.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That's like the best comment you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: can give us.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: So.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's annoying when you're eating food, maybe eating food,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and somebody comes up to you and they're like, sorry
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to bother you. You know, at first, why are you
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: saying sorry to bother you? You're not sorry to bother me.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You meant to bother me at that moment, you know
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, just guys, if you're gonna see Donald in public,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: don't do it while he's eating.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe just or with my kids. I don't play that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, we'll just wait outside the restaurant
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for me in a dark in a dark alley.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I prefer people to approach me, in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a dark galley.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I also, my only request is not online at the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: pharmacy because I'm usually sick and I don't want to.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I once had a guy ask me to sign his
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: box of condoms at a pharmacy, and uh, I just no.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, this is weird. I don't want
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to sign it. Anyway. We've already digressed. We love our
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: fans and we're so glad you're listening. So the rough
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: plan is that we're just gonna talk through episodes of Scrubs.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We're going to start with with season one. Obviously, today
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the pilot and we're going to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just kind of tell stories and go through it scene
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: by scene and just kind of tell anecdotes and stuff,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and then eventually we want to have guests on we're
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: going to Today we're going to take a very first
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: fan question, which is thrilling. Joelle figured out how to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: do that. She's amazing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: We're really excited about this. We should start. Do you
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: remember the name of the pilot what the first episode was?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Wait, I just want to tell them one more thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So we were going to do this in person, but then,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of course, because of this COVID insanity, the good people
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of iHeart have figured out a way for a donalin
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Us to do it remotely. So we're he's we're looking
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: at each other over zoom, and he's in his closet,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: which is freaking hilarious because I guess that's what the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: only place you could hide from your kids.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, they're downstairs. We put on Captain underpants
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: so they'll be quiet for a bit. But if you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: hear someone yelling or screaming, it's probably going to be
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: my on Rocco or my daughter Wilder.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take a picture of this to post
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on the interwebs because it's very adorable.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Right, well, let me get my let me get a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: fresh pose.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Then, oh my god, you're so cute. All right, So
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Donald has children and a wife and everyone's in quarantine.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So he's in his closet recording and we're looking at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: each other. So we're gonna do it like this, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future, every week we'll be coming to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you talking about the next episode of the show, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we'll hope that you'll watch it along with us, because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the idea if you if you watch
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that episode, and then we'll shoot the shit about that episode.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I just watched it. I got very nostalgic. Did you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: did you feel nostalgia?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, just how young we were. First of all, Oh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we were so young.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Were so young. I didn't remember how young I was.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I was twenty six at the time and I'm forty five,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: turning forty six this year, and it was that was
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago. So you know, watching a pilot for
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the first I really felt like it was brand new,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Like I remembered some things but other things, I was like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I don't remember any of this, you know. I remember
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: certain poses that John c McGinley made, like when he
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: put his hand on the back of his head and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. I remember being like, Wow, that's interesting
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that he chose to do that right now, and as
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the show goes on it became his doctor Cox stuff.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But while we while watching it for the first time,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, Oh my god, this is where it
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: all originated. This is where this is where this came from.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: There were so many moments I had while watching it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: too where I was like thinking, first of all, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: can't start off even even five minutes of this without
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: talking about Bill Lawrence, who is the creator of the show,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the reason we're all here talking. And I was just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: amazed watching it how much Bill got it it's like
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: twenty three minutes long, and how much he was able
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: how much storytelling and character introduction. Pilots are always hard
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: because you know, you have the showrunner creator has such
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a hard job to introduce so many characters and do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it in twenty three minutes, and it's just amazing how
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: much how many characters are introduced, how many storylines and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like love interests, are introduced. How much is packed into
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: one episode?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's some of those. I have questions for you,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, just on you know, how
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the whole pilot came together and everything.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Well wait, let's start with that. Sorry, I don't interrupt you,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but let's start with cal I feel like we should
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: tell our stories about auditioning because that's.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that was my first question for you. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: when we first started the pilot, I had already done
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: quite a few things, Like I was in clueless. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: had done remember the Titans already waiting to exhale. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: was guest starring on Felicity at the time, right, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: this was a pilot that came up for me, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, sure, I'll go out for it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'd love to go out for it. Anybody wants to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: be on a show. And it wasn't until after I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: auditioned for it and got it that everybody was like,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: all my I remember all of my agents being like,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: this is like the number one pilot of the season.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Everyone wanted to be a part of this, and you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: booked it. And now I remember being like, holy cow.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I was just looking at it as let me get
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: another job because I got kids to feet, you know
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: what I mean. You were completely different. You were like
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know you had been in some things
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, but you hadn't even really popped yet.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'd done little things, you know. I'd been in
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: an indie. I was in an indie, A couple of indies,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: one called the Broken Hearts Club that went to sun Dance,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: but I was still waiting tables. I directed that, by
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the way, a now superstar famous person named Greg Borlani.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It was his very first film and he he gave
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: me one of my first early big breaks being in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that movie. And I was a waiter at a French
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Vietnamese restaurant in Beverly Hills, com and people who you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: if you saw Garden State, my film, I'm kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: spoofing that in the beginning when I'm working with a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: tunic on and waiting on horrible people. But anyway, I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was waiting there and people would come from having Broken
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Carts Club was in the theater, and people would come
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: from the theater and they'd say for dessert to the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: restaurant and they'd be like, we just saw your movie,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh, cool, thank you, thank you
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for going, and they'd be like you were great, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I go, oh, thank you, thank you so much. Let
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: me tell you about our specials. And it was like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: only in Hollywood can you go see a movie and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: then have the star of the movie wait on you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for dessert.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: But how did you feel about that? Were you ever
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: embarrassed by it?
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I was so embarrassed. I remember I would go to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: like a general meeting in Hollywood, of these things called
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: general meetings where you kind of go and like you're
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like bragging that, oh my my career is going so
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: well and we should really work together, and you're just
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: kind of schmoozing. And I remember I did one of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: those and like it really went well, and I came
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: out feeling so good. And then that night I looked
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: down at one of my tables and the guy was
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: at the table, and I didn't I had left out
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the part how I was still, you know, hustling and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: waiting tables. But so you know, I got the audition.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I was waiting tables. I got the audition. Now my
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: story is a little funny because I went out first
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for it in New York. I happened to be in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: New York and I didn't prepare. It went so poorly.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I hadn't read the script. You know, not every audition
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: do you go in killing it. And I didn't do
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a good job. And when I got back to La,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: my agent said, look, they still can't find this guy
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: for the show. And it's really, like you said, everyone's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: talking about it. This is like one of the hot
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: new shows of the season. You you I think you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: could just go back in, like they won't even know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like your audition, I don't even They were like, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: don't even know if your tape made it from New York,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: like because no one was no one, no one even
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: responded to whatever the fuck you did. So I this time,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I took it seriously. I memorized that I worked on it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I practiced a lot, and then when I went in.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I remember the cast director Brett Right. I was yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he looked up at me like, oh okay, like with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a smile. And then it was off to the races.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And then I met Bill and I worked with Bill,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and and then you know, I literally auditioned six times
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: before I got it, and finally my final audition was
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: for the network and it was down between four of us,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and I read with Sarah and I you know, I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: had comitten six times. I wore the exact same outfit
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: every single time because I was so superstitious and and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I could really tell that Bill was rooting for me.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: He he made it known to me that he wanted
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: me to get it. But there were a lot of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you know, people that were more famous than me, that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: were that were I mean that were famous, that were
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: up for it. So I couldn't I couldn't leave. I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: got it. But anyway, so tell me, tell me about
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: your audition.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Brother. So I auditioned for it. The first time I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: auditioned for it. I don't know who was in the room,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. I just auditioned and they
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: were like, they want to bring you back. And then
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I came back and I auditioned again, and this time
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Bill was there. And I remember being like, okay, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: at this point in my career, it was like, I'm
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: just going to audition for things as many times as
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I can until they say yes, you know what I mean,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: or till they say no. And I remember they were like,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: all right, look, you're going to test for this, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they want you to go in for one more audition
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: before that, just to run lines with Bill and work
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: on the jokes and stuff. And I was like, yeah, absolutely.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: The one thing I remembered to this day he still
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: liked this, if Bill wants the joke to work, he'll laugh.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Even if it fell flat, He'll still laugh. To give
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you the confidence of yo, dude, that's the joke. That's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: where the joke lands. Right.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So we went into the room and we're working on it,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and he's laughing at everything, and I'm like, oh, I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: crushing it. And then after every take he'd be like,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: all right, now, let's work on this beat. And I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: remember it was him and Danny Rose at the time.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Danny Rose was another one of At.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The time, he was Bill's assistant, but then he rose
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: up in the ranks and became a producer on the show.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Right, And so we did it, and then he was like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: all right, good luck tomorrow. And I was like all right, bet.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: And so I went on the audition and I saw
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a bunch of friends of mine auditioning, and Sarah was there,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and you know, we were there for about an hour
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and a half, all of us testing in front of
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the network, and I remember at one point, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: we're all sitting out there for a while and they
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: hadn't come out in a bit, and Bill comes out.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It's like, Donald, I need to talk to you real quick.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, well, I guess I'm the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: first person to go home. And he says, so, look,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: your audition you probably could tell already, but you you
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: kind of fucked it up. So and so you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I want to give you another shot because the things
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: that I've seen you do, you just didn't do that
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: time in the room, And so if you could just
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: bring it down a little bit, and do you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Agree with him? Did you think you did you agree
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: with them? And think like, oh shit, I was so nervous,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and He's right.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: No, I thought I was crushing it. I was doing
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: everything that we I thought I was doing everything that
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: we had done in the rehearsal right. So finally I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: go in there and I remember toning everything down and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: him being like perfect and then leaving and he sent
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: everybody home except for Sarah, myself and one other person.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And that night I found out I got the job. Wow,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And you know when I
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: went in on the audition. I expected to see the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: guy that he had kept. You know, it was me,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Sarah and this one guy, and we were like, holy cow,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I guess we got it right. And uh, I expected
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to see the guy at the table read and you
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: walked in. I was like, that's not the same dude.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Wait, so I knew who you were, obviously, but because.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I loved I had not seen anything you were in.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: No, No, you wouldn't. I didn't mean to say that
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you'd seen my two little indies. I just mean, like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know what my question is. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: mean like you even seeing a picture of me, you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: didn't even know anything about me.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You just knew nothing about you. You knew what you knew.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: An unknown guy got the part at least right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like I remember what you wore to a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: table read, though, I feel like you wore corduroy brown pants.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that you would remember this and a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: T shirt. And we met at the bar. While I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: remember this, I.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Remember I was writing this down in my notes. First
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of all, it was that Krista Miller's and Bill's old house.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And Charlotte Lawrence had just been born.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Lawrence was a baby, and we walked into I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: remember it was a sunken living room and there was
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a bar in the corner. And then you turned her
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and were like, gave me this big smile and we
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: were like yeah, body like, and I was like, it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: literally was love at first sight, right, I just felt
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I was so nervous. If understand, I mean, I knew
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you were obviously I knew John McGinley was. I had
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: met Sarah at my audition, but like I was, you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: can imagine. I mean, we're all nervous no matter who
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you are, but I was because because also people do
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: get fired after the table read, so you know you're like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: You're like, I mostly have it, but I really got
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to make sure I keep it. And uh and then
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I saw you and you were so warm and and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and I think we hugged.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I think the first time, I know, we did.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Hug Yeah, the first time we met, we hugged.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Well that's that's that was the That was the crazy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: The craziest thing was I remember not knowing who you
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: were and being like, all right, they were and Bill
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: was like, let's start the table read. And I remember
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: being nervous for myself. And then you started reading, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the jokes that I didn't see
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in the script when I read it, all of a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: sudden started to appear because you were knocking out knocking
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it out of the and everybody was laughing and you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: really excited. So when it was my time to come
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, the energy was there, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I just remember being like,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: holy cow, this kid is amazing. And I remember being
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: like this could actually turn into something. This is at
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the table read. I remember being like, this could be
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: something special. My agents weren't lying when they told me
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: this was the one.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, man, I remember that special feeling too. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: also wanted to say that I when I drove home
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: from my test, I had a star Tech. I had
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the Motorola star Tech.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You remember that, Yeah, yeah, the two ways.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: No, No, the star Tech was the little flip phone,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the little black flip phone back in the day.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Oh I don't know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Anyways, I had my little I had my little I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: had my little flip phone and I put it on
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the passenger seat as I was driving home from the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: network test, and I'm just waiting to see if it
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was gonna ring, and like, is my life about to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: change substantially or not? And the phone rang. It was Bill.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He told me I got the part. And I was
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: just flipping out. I mean, I had no money. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: didn't have a dollar in my name. I you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I was living.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Oh dude, who are you telling? Man? I had kids.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I bought a house with all of this clueless money
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: that I had, And you know what I mean, I
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: thought I was going to be a baller. And I
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: remember having to call home and beg my mom for
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: money so I could get gas to go on these auditions.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean. Because I was broke,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: my parents loaned me five thousand dollars to buy a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: car out in La so I bought a car. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: bought a Nissan to forty SX. I remember that, which
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: did me really really well. And and then I was just,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you know, living off my waiters salary. But I got
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the call from Bill. I freak out. I called my mom,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I called my dad, and then I called the manager
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of the restaurant, who was amazingly supportive of me, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: she was she was an actress herself, and she was like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you congratulations and I was like, well,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I quit and she was like wait, wait, wait, I'll
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: never forget that. She was like, work tonight. I was
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like what now. She's like, you have to work tonight
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and I was like I do. She's like, babe, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: can't leave me hanging like that. You gotta work tonight.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, oh, I'll work tonight.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And I just got I like I had hammered. People
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: were like waiting on me, like, you know, because it
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was one of those restaurant where people were like really
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: do shee and like sir, and I'd be like, just
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: wait your turn, you know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I was like.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Everybody, everybody calm down, all right, Yours Vietnamese food is
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: coming right on.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I remember after we shot the pilot, just to jump
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: ahead and having to wait for so long for the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: show to get picked up, right and running into you
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: at a club and you being out of your mind blitzed.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's probably what happened. I could never get
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: into the club, like I went like and the classic
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: thing with like the red velvet ropes and like I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: can't even picture like me being on line at the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: club being like all right, I'm going out to a
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: nightclub tonight because I got some money in my pocket
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and was like, I picture, I see like Donald going in,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like the guys, like the bouncers, like part the red
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: velvet ropes is Donald. Then his posse gets gets led
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: into the club, and then I get in and I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: saw you. I remember, I remember the first night I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: saw you, like out in the real world, and I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: like screamed because I was like, dude, you.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Was so loud and he was so drunk. It was
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: so funny.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I had to celebrate.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So let's get let's get back to the Let's get
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: back to.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the pilot now. The first thing I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: want to see about the pilot. The first thing I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: noticed is that that's not the hospital right that the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: pilot for Scrubs was filmed. We filmed technically in three spots.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: The pilot was filmed in a Burbank hospital, and this
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: one that they show it in the exterior is actually
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: not even that. It's just a different hospital. But then
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: we shot the bulk of the series at a hospital
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in Valley Village, which is now apartments. And then season nine,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: which we'll have plenty of jokes about, was shot actually
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: on a back lot on stages, But the bulk of
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the show, the one that that you all know and love,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was shot all inside a real hospital. And I'm sure
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: not everybody knows that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: It was a real hospital. Remember the sound man saying
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: something about, you know, I think when we did the pilot,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'm not sure if it was
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the pilot or the actual series, but I think it
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: was the pilot saying, you know what, I'm gonna set
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: up in this room because this is the room that
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: my father died in or something. Really, yeah, that's so dark.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Our dressing rooms, you know. You know you've seen a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: lot of times on sets that people have trailers their
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: dressing rooms. Well, our dressing rooms were hospital rooms. For
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for eight and a half years that we worked at
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: this hospital, we lived and did everything inside this hospital.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, our dressingrooms were in the hospital, the makeup
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: rooms in the hospital, offices were in this hospital. The editing,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the writer's room, everything, all the other sets, like you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: whether it was the inside of a bar or our apartment,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: all those were built into this really disgusting ancient hospital.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I want to talk about the first scene
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: where you wake up and it's time to that. Was
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: that a reshoot?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: No, it was not reshoot. I think it was done
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: like after the fact. Thing is probably one of the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: last things we did. I do remember thinking that I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: didn't think this was funny, this this whole shaving cream thing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: It turned out to be really funny.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Well that's Bill. Bill turned it into something. I remember
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: thinking like, what, why would I be doing this? Why
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: would I, on my first day so nervous, be making
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: a shaving cream bra.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Or being like a warrior, a warrior.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Like how young I am. I'm just scrolling through because
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I like to just reference it. But anyway, I didn't
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: think it was funny at the time, but then I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: saw and I remember thinking, yeah, that was that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Was clever, okay. And then the scene where you walk
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: into the hospital and the lady gives you all of
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: this energy about what's gonna happen today, et cetera, et cetera,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and then you not really knowing where to go.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this was one thing I'll hear me
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: say over and over again was and Bill always said
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: this was like, there's no person better to play someone
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: young and in over their head than me. Because here
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I was. I didn't know anything of I mean, it
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was all method acting. I didn't know anything about starring
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: in a TV show. I didn't know anything about like
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I knew I had some experience, but every
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: time I was playing the wide eyed guy walking around,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I was just being mean because I couldn't believe that
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: this was happening to me. You know, it was the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: exact same life that I was living.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: You know what, speaking of wide eyed. Before we started
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the pilot, they wanted us to all go on rounds
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: with doctors and stuff like that. Right I did that,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: But right I did not. I opted out. I was like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: get the fuck out here. I'm not doing that shit.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see any of this.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But meanwhile I'm like, I'm like the diligent student who's like,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: all right, send me out right.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I remember getting on the phone with the young lady
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: who was my contact that was going to take me
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: around on rounds, and her being like, so you're coming
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: down to night, and me being like, yeah about that. No,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I don't see myself ever doing this. If you could
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: just tell me some anecdotes, i'd be great.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was the exact I was like the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: good student.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, did you see anything crazy? No?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But I remember thinking was really inappropriate actually that she
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was having me like go around, like to visit patients
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: with her, Like she she put a stethoscope around my
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: neck so I would look like legit, like I know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it's kind of fucked up in hindsight, like I should
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: not have been doing that. But did she ever refer
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to you like, no, not, because she she was just
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: treating me like I was like I was a medical student,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and she wasn't doing what she should have done, which
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: is being like, hey, is it okay there's someone who's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: an actor researching apart. She wasn't doing that. I was
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: just going in and being like, hey, how's a guy's going.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And she'd kind of like and the people would be
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: like looking at her, and then they like they nod
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to me, and I'm like I would just be nodding.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I remember, I was just I was just kind of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: had like a serious nod on my face, like I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: was listening and understanding what's going on. I want to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: talk about the title sequence because that's the next thing
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that comes up.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you about that too, man, dude,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: how much did you hate that until you saw it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That's one of those things where I was like, this
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: is sucks. Man.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It took for those of you who don't know, it's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a motion control camera, and it really took a long
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: time to do that, and at the time we didn't
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: know how cool it would look, so it was like
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it took like a full day to do it, and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I remember we were all kind of really over it
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: by the end. Then it came out and it was
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: really fucking cool. And then we've heard this for many
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: times our whole scrubs existence. But the X ray at
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the end is backwards, and every every doctor wanted to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: point that out, and we used to be like, oh, yeah, yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that's on purpose. Get it because they're like med students. Yeah,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and they're med students and they don't fully get it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: We're like, no, it wasn't the fucking prop guy fucked
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: up the ship backwards.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: We did. And but we got lucky with that too,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: because that kind of set the tone for this offbeat,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: wacky show of ours. You know, I know, I know.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But early on in like in like commentary, I remember
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: everyone being like, the X rays backwards and we were like.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we meant to do it and do it again
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: when we do it next time.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when we a few years in they
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: tried to redo this sequence.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: With Neil wanted to add Neil.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: They wanted to add Neil and Neil. Yeah, and and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: then so they aired it a few times and the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: fan base was like, what the fuck is that open?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Right? No, they weren't having it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: They were not having They were like season nine.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: How they weren't having season nine either. But anyway, all right, we.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Digreg um you we have one hundred and eighty episodes.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: To get before we digress. We digress.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Wait, and then I want to say that the song
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: was It was a song I found from a band
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: called laslow Bane that I was friends with, and I.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Because originally we wanted five for fighting, but that was yeah,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that was the original theme song. It was something like, uh,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I'm more than a bird. We can never use this.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I'm more than a plane.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I think you're allowed to sing a few lines.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: More than some superman beside a train. However it goes anyway,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: so I can't stand a fly.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: My friend, I'm not that nie, right, all right? My
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: friend Chad Fisher was in this band, and I thought
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the lyrics were perfect because it's not only was it
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a great song, but it's like what the show's about.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm Superman.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Donald, get it, Well, that's the same thing the fire
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: for Fighting song was about. You just found somebody who
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: wrote something kind of similar to it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I can't do it all, Donald, I couldn't do it
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: all on my own. I needed my friend. I'm moving
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a bird. Oh my god, you have such a pretty voice.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Though. I just remember how perfect the song was when
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: they sang it, and we didn't really necessarily know that
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: it was going to be the theme song until I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: remember you playing it for me and being like dude
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and being like, oh, yeah, that's cool. But I didn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: realize it was going to really be the theme song
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: until we had that first cookout before we started shooting
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the show and he sang it with the with the
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: bullhorn and his boy playing the guitar next to him
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and being like, oh, I remember that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And then we made a music video. If anyby never
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: saw it, it's kind of cool. I shot a music
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: video for the song, and I shot all this kind
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of cool footage of us. I'm sure it's on YouTube all.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so let's talk about the first scene with
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: you and I.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gathering my notes because I did a lot of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: prepper I want the fans to know I did a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: lot of prep for this right on.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: So the first scene with you and I, where we're
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: talking and Ted the lawyer is explaining to us, you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: legal procedure in the hospital.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I remember him making up the line and if your
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: pay if your patient's dead and and you're sure, and
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: you're sure, And I remember that was when I realized,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: oh wow, Bill's gonna let us. He's gonna let us
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: improv a little bit. Yeah, and opportunities to be funny.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's one of the things that made
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Scrubs really special is that Bill really let everyone kind
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of make it their own. I mean, his running rule
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: through through the whole series was, you know, please get
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it the way that it's written first, make sure we've
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: got it good, and then you guys can play around
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and improvise, and if you have some wacky idea, you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: can do it. And that was from the get go.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And then he had and he hired all these amazing
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: people like Sam Lloyd, who plays lawyer.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Who played Ted the lawyer and a.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Little trivia who's Christopher Lloyd's nephew, you know, just hilarious
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: character actors like that that could that would just bring
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: all their own and no matter what the size of
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the part, you know, from from from our sized part
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: all the way down to people who had you know,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: would have one line an episode, there was so much
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: freedom to just kind of riff around and make it funny. Yeah,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and we should give a shout out to Adam Bernstein
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: who directed the pilot. A pily director. Yeah, a pilot
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: director for those of you who don't know, really sets
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the look of the show and the style. You know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Scrubs has a very specific style with the whippans and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the flashing, the flashbacks and fantasies.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: And even the color of the show to make how
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: it looks so much like a hospital and isn't overly
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: saturated like a lot of TV shows that deal with
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: hospital life. They you know, they want their actors to
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: pop on screens. So the blueser bluer, and the eyes
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and the you know what I mean, Scrubs it looked
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: dingy and dirty in the hospital. In that first episode,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I noticed a lot.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I noticed that it was clearly the thing I noticed,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the whole idea was that it was a
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it was a hospital that was had very little money.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And I noticed there's a lot of stuff. You know,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched the pilot in how many years? Twenty years,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: but I remember I was looking at the ceiling tiles.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: There's all these like missing ceiling tiles. Yeah, and it
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: was and Bill and Adam really made it feel like
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: a dingy you know, it was not supposed to be
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a nice hospital. Also, the show was shot on film,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: which a lot of people probably don't know. This was
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the entire series was shot on sixteen millimeter film. That's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: why there's no blu ray and there's no if you
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: look at it normally, how it's meant to be seen.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: It's a square because it was before high def video
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and sixteen by nine televisions, and no one ever like
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: upres it. So this is all we got. I watched
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the iTunes version, which has the original music. Do you
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: want to explain to them about the music thing?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Hulu doesn't have the original music.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Well, just you know, just because of a question we
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: get from a lot of fans at times on social media,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: all this music that was put on Scrubs and a
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: lot of people love was licensed before streaming. So these days,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of times if you watch it on Hulu
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: where it's currently playing, or wherever you're watching it, it
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: might have some of those songs that you love replaced
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: because they weren't licensed for streaming rights. iTunes is the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: only place or owning the DVDs obviously is the only
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: place where where all of the original music would be there.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your teeth for a second, because I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't think we can just let this go.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had baby teeth when we started shooting the show.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I don't have baby teeth. And if you spent a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: lot of money on new teeth there it is.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: If you freeze fames, if you freeze frame. There was
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: there was a saga of Donald's teeth because he used
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to have he had fake braces famously in Clueless.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, because they were trying to hide my small teeth.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Go on, oh is that really why?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're getting an exclusive here, so you're selling.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: They shave my head and they shaved my head and
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Clueless because my hairline was receding at eighteen you know
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: what I mean? That By the time I was twenty one,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I had this hairline right here that you that I'm well,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you guys can't see it, but I had this.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, by the way, I feel like we're breaking news.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You're famous.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: They called me George Jefferson, Okay, because of my hairline?
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Are you happy?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Are you happy?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: But I never knew that the clueless braces were because
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: of your fucked up chick lit teeth.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then the and then the hats that I
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: wore and clueless was because of my hairline.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Like I have.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: A baby face. I have a baby face. It's a
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: baby right, Like I have a baby face, but I
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: don't have a baby's hairline.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Right, I had baby teeth.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I had baby teeth.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Who called you, George Jefferson? Your parents?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: No, some like dickhead that I grew up with my parents.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: You're an asshole. That'd be hilarious, George, all.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Right, let's go forward with your chicken teeth. Oh and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: then and then well, by the way, funny story. So
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: then one season Donald chose up. He decided on his own.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: We could talk about this some other time. We don't
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: need to talk about this now.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Well, can I just tease it for later.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: It tracks, it'll track, all right.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Donald turned up with braces on the inside of his
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: teeth and had a lisp, and Bill was like, take
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: your fucking braces off. What the hell you guess?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: All right, But there's like six episodes where I'm talking
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: The whole and Donald chowse up.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: But he's like, I don't Bill, I don't think anyone's
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: gonna notice. And Bill's like, no one's gonna notice. What
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: the fuck are you doing? What'd you do? And Donald's like, well,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: it's cut brief of but you can't see him because
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: they're on the in FIVEE in my mouth.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I don't even think that's a funny story, dude.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. All right, let's talk about Sarah
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Chalk's entrance into the lounge room.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely done, dun.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Duh, the brilliant and beautiful Sarah Chalk.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: So I remember at the audition saying Sarah and being
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: like that's the girl from Roseanne. Holy cow, yeah second Becky,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and thinking she's definitely gonna get this part because that
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: was the girl from Roseanne, you know what I mean?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, I didn't know I knew she was second
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Becky was as she jokingly called herself, and people called
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: her because she had replaced the original Becky, But I
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't until I read with her in front of Bill
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and then I read whether at my final Studio Network
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: test that I got to meet her, and I was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: just smitten. I just thought she was so funny and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: so beautiful, and.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: That was one of my notes. Actually, you guys had
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: such great chemistry in the pilot, and it showed on
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: screen that, you know. I think that worked for the
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: remainder of the show because of you know, it's hard
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: to tell a will they won't they early on in
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: a pilot, you know what I mean, Like you can
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: say one person has a crush, but you both kind
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: of had a chemistry for each other in the pilots,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and it was undeniable, you know what I mean. So
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: like right away, you knew that at some point you
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: guys had to get together, you know what I mean.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Even if it didn't work, you knew it. You guys
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: had to get together.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And then there was that scene where we're in the
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: staircase I'm supposed to be looking at her butt going
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: up and saying it looks I never understood why two pringles,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: which is what I say, But your butt looks like
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: two pringles hugging.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I never knew that a curve because it's a little Okay,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: so a pringle isn't.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a compliment for a butt though,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Was trying to tell me you don't appreciate a round booty.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: No, I love a round booty. But I just don't know.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: What the hell are you talking about.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: But bro, you think you think I would say, like
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it looks like a juicy peach, I wouldn't say it
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: looks like two pringles that are like sharp and breakable.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you a question.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: How would you describe a nice bottom like to a
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: piece of food? You choose pringles?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm going, okay, do we need to
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: get into this. Well, you can into this.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: You can say it in a nice correct For a really.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Long time, people of Caucasian colors didn't necessarily like to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: have big, round booties, and so a pringle being a
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: tiny curved chip, if you put them together, they looked
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: like a little tiny booty.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: You're saying because she had a tiny white girl booty.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It was pringly right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Nowadays because of certain actresses and Instagram models or whatever influence,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: everyone and their mama likes a round booty, now a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: big round. So you're starting to put fake booties that
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: are starting to put fake stuff in the buttocks area
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to make the booty round. Now, I've heard that some
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: women really round booties already and decided, yo, you know what,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: it ain't round enough and took more to make it bigger.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I have a question for you about this, yes, Now,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: is your theory that certain famous influencers have influenced women
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to to add not just.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Exercise, not just women, men too. Men too.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Now they exercise it. You can choose to exercise and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: build up your booty. But you're saying that people really
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: do put put fake implants into their bottoms.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: They not only put it into their bottoms, they put
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: it into their chest area, They put it into their abs,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: they put it into their arms. There are so many
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: people out there where you're like, Wow, that dude works out,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: or wow, she must really work out and it's all enhancements.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Do you think men get ass implants?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: You love a number for a doctor who does.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: That's true because you got a little two buffo behind
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I know it's small, it's very small. I was thinking
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the other day that was the.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Other thing that I noticed about you, that when the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: first time I met yours, like my butler, really small booty.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Oh you noticed that at the table?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Read absolutely when you walked away anyway, gone, Yeah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I just wrote down because there was a shot of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: her butt at which I thought looked beautiful, And then
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought about the line pringles and I
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: didn't fully understand it. Alright, let's move on from Sarah
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: and her glorious.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about John C. McGinley. Yes, let's doctor Cox.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Wait before you get to Cox, I want to talk
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: about just I think Matt Winston is first. So Matt
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Winston is the guy who's saying I'm a tool, I'm
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a tool, lum a tool. And I always thought he
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was so friggin funny. In fact, I put him in
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: my film which I was here and a little bit
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: of trivia for the trivia buffs out there. He's Stan
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Winston's son, the late great Stan Winston.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Did you know that, Donald, I did not know that.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, So his dad he wasn't used a ton
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a Bill sort of phased him out, although he did
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: have a hilarious line where he goes, it's like a baguette. Yeah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I think when he was talking about Kelseo's penis all right,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: So Johnny c McGinley, I mean, where do we begin
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: the legend?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: The legend that I remember when we after the table read.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: When I saw him at the table read, I was like,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay clear of that guy. He's a little intimidating.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a little scary.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: And then we did the rehearsals at the hospital and
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I remember watching him and I was like, I remember
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: telling myself focus on him right now because we're all,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of wide eyed and don't necessarily know
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: what it is we want to do. He came into
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the game already with Cox like he was like, this
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: is how I'm going to play him. This is how
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: he's going to be, you know what I mean, he
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: knew right away what he was doing. And I remember
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, focus on that guy because he seems
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: to be already out the gate, you know what I mean.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: He seems to be running already where we're you know,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: getting a slow start. He's already off and running, so
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: focus on him and try and match that energy that
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: he has.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And he nobody worked harder. I mean, Johnny throughout the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: course of the season had those endless, really hard to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: do monologues, and he would sometimes get him the night
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: before and he would work so hard. I mean, this
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: is not a guy who ever phoned in. I don't
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: think Johnny ever flubbed a line in nine years.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, true, he flubbed lines.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying most rare, the least often of any
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of us. And he was just so on it, and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: so he so made it his. You know, there's a
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: thing in acting where you say, like, oh, I don't
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: want to just do it a generic way that anyone
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: will do it.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I want to. I want to make it specific to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: me and make it mine. And a lot of actors
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I think forced that, and so they put all this
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: shit onto it that isn't necessary. They're just trying to
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: be different, whereas some actors just do that and it's natural,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: it feels right. And I think Johnny's the ultimate example
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of that. He's someone who all these characteristics and all
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the things, the gestures, the hands on the back, of
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: his head, the touch in his nose, like that's all
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: just Johnny, that's all stuff that's so specifically him that
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: he brought to that part, you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Know, absolutely, and he stayed consistent with it the whole time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Everything he did, he was like, we all evolved into
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: different characters as the show went on. If you watch
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the show, we're very you know, you and I would
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: it were you know, it's not as broad as the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: show goes on. Johnny stayed consistent from the beginning. He
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: was the same level the whole time, right, and you
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: really see it in that first scene where he comes
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: into the break room and is doing his thing, you
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's really interesting, you know, to
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: go back and watch now because when making it, you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I paid attention to him specifically because of who he was,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: but to see how I evolved, to see how you evolved,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: to see how Sarah evolved, to see how you know
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Judy evolved. It really and all from
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: this pilot, you know what I mean. It's like the
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: pilot is a tame version of what Scrubs became.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Although there's things about it,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you noticed, But there's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: things that are in the pilot that you can see
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: both Bill and Adam Bernstein and the director are figuring
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: out like that. We eventually phased out like all the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I mean like there's like whip noises when Johnny turns
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: his head and there's like there's little there's like way
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: more sound effects early on. I think in the show
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: that they eventually toned down. I mean that's a digression
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: from Johnny. So Johnny's just amazing and people always ask
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: what he's like, and I say, he literally is this intent,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: but he's just the most nice person you've ever met.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: It's just like he's like, picture that intensity of a
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: human being, but he's a super sweet nice nothing.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: But love though that intensity with nothing but love.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: And when he shakes your hand, he puts out his
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: hand and goes, there's five good ones for you, meaning
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: his finger. Yeah, there's five good ones for you.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Grab it and squeeze.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's got all sorts of sayings, but I'll never
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: forget there's five good ones for you.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one, and there's a mammo in that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'd finish it. We'd finish a scene in
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: one of our editor's names was Jean Michelle, and he'd go,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I think we gave Jean Michelle some mammo, all right,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: so let's go. The next thing I wrote down on
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: if you have anything before this, but was the sitcom
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: fantasy I have where I where I'm with Sarah on this.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: The man You to the Man.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: So I don't even know what this was. A sitcom
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: must have been on on NBC or something or maybe ABC,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: because but I don't remember. We borrowed some Actually, people
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: out there might who know the sitcom might recognize who
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: said it is, but we just went to an actual
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: set and shot the scene there because we didn't, you know,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it was the pilot.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Was it like good Morning Miami or something like that.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: That could have been it. I don't know. It probably
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: was a pilot of the of the same season, right
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: or something. And I remember this was just surreal. We
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: were in like on a real sitcom stage. And now,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: granted I have a huge crush on Sarah and I'm
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: doing my best to like hold it together, and then
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden we're doing a scene where she
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: rips off her top and mounts me and we make out.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, back in the day, I was like, Wow,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: she ripped off her top. That's cutting edge. Now I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: look at it and I'm like, oh, whoa did she
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: have to rip off our top?
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think the show. You have to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: look at it in the context of the year. I mean,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: everybody forgets now because we have all this everything streaming
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and cable and everything's so much more risque, and you
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: go to you seek out whatever you watch. I mean,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: from the Show Girls, the crazy show they would do
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: on there, to everything and anything that's on Netflix now.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: But back in the day, you know, I think Bill
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: was trying to push the envelope. The show was on
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: at nine or nine thirty. He was trying to push
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the diamelo of what you could do on network television.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: So both with being politically incorrected times, both with sex
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: with language. I mean, he was trying to say, like, hey, network,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: you can compete and be a little bit you know riskee,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: And so this for the time was pretty risque. I
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: mean it was. There was a lot of sex in
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the show. You know, it's funny. I have I'm sure
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: you do. You have people who go, hey, I'm showing
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: my kids scrubs and I can't be in the same room.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: It's so awkward because it's because there was a lot
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: of sex in the show.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: No, I don't you know, I don't let my kids
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: watch Scrubs.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Well your kids are your kids are too young. But
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I got a six year old and a four year old.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: No watch No, I didn't mean your kids. I mean
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like like Matt Tarsis, who was one of the writers,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: he told me that his son, who was a teenager,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: was watching the show and he's like, I had to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: walk out of the room. I was like watching like
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you and Sarah have these sex scenes, like that episode
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: where we're eating pizza and we're like banging all over
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the place.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, you know that's that is true. Sarah did have
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: to take her top off. But I'm gonna be honest
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: with you. I think the guys on the show were
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: way more naked than the females were on the show.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Between you were naked so much.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Your body looks fierce.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, like Tay Diggs, baby, like Ty Diggs.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: You know you know. Funny bit of trivia. Rob Maschio,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: who was often only in his banana Hammock and worked
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: very hard to maintain that physique would do all sorts
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: of push ups and stuff. When the show moved from
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: whatever season from NBC to ABC, which is owned by Disney,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: they made a rule that we could no longer film
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: him from the waist down when he was in his
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: banana Hammock, did you know that bit of trivia?
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that bit of trivia. I also, I remember,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: and we'll discuss this later on, but there were times
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: where we were actually really naked because it had to
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: be that way for the camera.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Wait, you didn't have like a sock on your penis.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I did one time. I did have a sock on
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: my penis, And I remember having to walk into parking
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: lot with a bunch of people which a sock on
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: my penis. I remember not only that, not only that
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I had a I had also a very big leaf,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: very big leaf.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: It was a big leaf, first of all, a large
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: like an overleaf.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: It was like it was like a maple leaf, like
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: a huge maple leaf.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like one of those thin like bamboo.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, it wasn't like it wasn't like an eucalyptus leaf.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: It was a It was like a maple leaf to
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: cover my job.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: No one has ever bragged about their sexual prowess through
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: leaf sides, so that's a first for our podcast. I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: do want to say that. I once there's a scene
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: where I was dancing in front of Tara Reid and
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to be naked and they were shooting
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: me from behind, and so I just I packed everything
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I had into a sock and I was doing the
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: dance in front of Tara Reid. Remember that? And then
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and then the sock came off, and then I was like,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what a surreal experience. There's Tara Reid just staring at
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: the junk.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, I mean, what am I gonna do? I
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: apologize and all right, So we got a caller on waite,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: why are you interrupting? I want to I just want
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to say that it was a tube sock, much like
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: your leaf analogy.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: It was not it wasn't It wasn't a dress sock.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: It was you know those little those little socks people
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: now where they're just like.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Go for There wasn't an ankle sock. It was a
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: tube sock. Did they call those things that just go
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: ankle socks.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was ankle sock.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: It was a tube sock.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: It was a tube sock.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Got to say, we're basing your boys.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: It was a tube man, a long one.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: So we got a collar.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: It was a woman's thigh.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: High Okay, okay, So I don't mean to interrupt yourzac,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: but we got a caller.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: This is exciting because I I daydreamed when we said
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: we were going to do this that we should take
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: fan questions from all around the world, and it's really happening.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: So go ahead, Donald, and.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: So I'd like to introduce Chris to the podcast. Chris,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: how are you hi.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Chris, how's it Cohen?
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: Guys, I'm doing well. Thank you for having me on.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Very first guest. So we really want to nail this.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: We want to give you the best answer to your question.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: That's that's ever been given to any question throughout the history.
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, gotcha, that's heart that no pressure exactly, all right.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: I guess the question I'll ask you all.
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: This one comes from a buddy of mine named Andrew.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: I have a question about the soundtrack. I think that's
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: something that was such like an iconic part of the
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: show just across all the seasons. You introduced so many
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: people to so many awesome artists over the years. Was
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: that something was there someone that spearheaded that did you
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: guys just have great taste? Like, how did you come
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: up with this soundtrack?
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: It was all me? It was all me.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Donald had nothing to do with it. Let me just sorry.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I literally had nothing to do with it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean, did you ever get a song
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: on ever?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: No, because I was listening to songs like Jo tosy Uh.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I was listening to you know uh songs by Wu
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Tang Clan, you know what I mean.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Things like yeah, great, Donald didn't take the music.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, a lot of the artists
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: that were on the show, I was introduced to for
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: the first time while watching the show. So who do
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: we have on a show?
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Keen?
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: All these people, I had no idea who they were,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And some artists that were
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: well known. I just didn't listen to that type of
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: music at the time. It wasn't until Scrubs that all
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: of a sudden started listening to Indian folk rock, you
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that you know, first of all, it
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: was a lot of people. It was definitely Bill Lawrence
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: obviously created the show, and his wife Krista Miller, who
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: played Jordan, and myself. I think we were the three
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: probably the main people, but also a lot of the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: writers in the writer's room. A lot of times when
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: it was their script, they'd go with a lot of people,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: but and of course the editors who would who would
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you know? The editors would get like ten ideas and
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: they'd be the ones to try and and and shape
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: it to see what would work the best. So there
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of us, but Christa Miller definitely did
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of song choosing, and I got a bunch
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: on myself that I'm excited about.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Our best friend, uh got.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Joshua Joshua Rainead and.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Got his start really before Scrubs. What was josh doing?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: He was sleeping on my couch, was he really? Yeah?
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I mean he didn't even have a job, and he
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: had written the song Winter, which we played in the
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: episode where Bretton Fraser's character dies spoiler, And yeah, when
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Winter was so popular that that had launched a career
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: for josh and everyone was like, what other songs do
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: you have? And He's like, that's the only song I've
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: ever written, and so he had to like frantically make
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: an album.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember going to watch him at two concerts
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: with like me, Zach my girlfriend at the time, Zach's
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: girlfriend at the time, and that was it. Yeah, and
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: now he sells out, you know, he does.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He does really really well, So that's it. It was
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun, you know. I think Bill was
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: early on in putting music at the you know, now
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: it's become very popular and very common to sort of
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: end your episode of TV with an emotional piece of
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: music and then cut around in a montage and watch
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: how everyone, you know, what they learned from the episode.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: And and I think Bill was at the forefront of
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: doing that definitely, because you know now now it's pretty commonplace.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: But I think Scrubs was kind of one of the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: first shows to do that.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: You know. I like to think The Wonder Years was, Yeah,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: he would was a was a early version of what
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: single camera comedy. I mean, mash obviously, but the Wonder
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Years really took it's the time that it was in
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: and use the music of that time to help tell
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: the story. And Scrubs I feel like it's the next
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: thing to do that, and then.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Alan mcbial also Ally McBeal. I think Bill
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: would say that. I remember the show Ali mcbeil had
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: they cut away to wacky shit. I mean, I think
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Scrubbs meets Scrubs is sort of Alan McBeal meets Mash
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: meets Wonder Years. Right, all right, so we answer your question.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: He did. That was awesome.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Do you have another one? We'll give you another one.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll give you another question.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: All right. I've got a two part question.
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: It's kind of common knowledge now that the Janitor wasn't
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: supposed to make a past season one.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: He was supposed to be a fig man of JD's imagination.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so two parter here.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: One, How is that supposed to be written in? How
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: is it going to come to be known that the
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: Janitor was, you know, just a figment of the imagination.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: And then the second part of that is is there
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: any plotline that didn't come to fruition that you really
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: wish did?
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I know that, but wait, I just want to say,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have Bill on for everyone. Bill will probably
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: be our first guest because he can answer all sorts
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: of questions about what his plan was for the writing
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: and such. But I do remember that Neil Flynn. First
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: of all, I was going to talk about this when
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: we got to Neil in the pilot. But Neil was
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: supposed to just have a small part. He wasn't. Bill
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't even intending that he was going to be in
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the show beyond the pilot or maybe a few episodes.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: But he was so hilarious that Bill just kept adding
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: him and adding him and adding him, and to the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: point where he was one became one of the stars
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: of the show. And Neil is a hilarious improvisational actor,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and so a lot of times he would just make
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: up his own line throughout the whole run of the show.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: And in fact, it got to a point where and
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: sometimes in a script it would just say like and
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: then Neil makes up something funny like it wouldn't even
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: have align for him because Neil was just so gifted
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and hilarious.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that whole scene was that whole scene improved with
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: you and him with the penny in the door.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Well, the penny in the door was all written. But
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like right off the bat, everybody could tell like,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: this guy, Neil Flynn is really funny, and he's got
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: to be more in the show. And you know, Bill
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: would kind of try people out, and when they killed it,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: he'd keep using him, you know, just like you like
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: all the people that fans grew to love, like you know,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Phil Lewis Hooch, Like we'd all thought he was so
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: frigging hilarious. We just kept putting him on the show
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: whenever we could. So anyway, long story short, if you
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I think throughout season one, the janitor only addresses me
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken now, So so Bill kind of
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: had the idea, like, oh my god, if this doesn't
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: go too long, it might be funny. Need to do
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: a big reveal that the janitor is totally in in
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: uh in JD's imagination.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: But then how crazy and would that have made j D? Though?
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: You would have been like a freaking psycho, dude, you would.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Have been look at my, look at nine years of
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: wacky fantasies, remember when you were a goat?
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, but it was a fantasy. These were fantasies.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: If if you actually had somebody that you an imaginary
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: friend that you talked to and would talk back to you,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: and you're a doctor.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I know, I think it could have been cool, but
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: but anyway, the point was that that the show kept
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: going and Bill. I remember Bill. I heard Bill say
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: like I had to, I had to have this guy
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: interact with other people because it was like, you know,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and then it became you know, he wanted to. I
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: think fans also wanted to see the character of the
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Janitor interact with people, although you never knew his name
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: or did you name was Janitor or was it Glenn Matthews.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Did we answer the second part of the question.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, storylines, we did. We did a medicinal marijuana long
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: before it's time. We did a medicinal marijuana plotline and
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: start shooting it and then the studio told Bill to
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: shut it down.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: It happened.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because of course, now marijuana's legal in
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: California and so many other places.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Well, it had just I remember, it had just started
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: becoming legal at the time when we Yeah, I remember,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I do remember that because there were a lot of
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: people that were smoking weed.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Well, we probably shouldn't bring that up in the in
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: the first episode of this, let's get to how high
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: everybody was. In future episodes with the tease something.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying I was a tease.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, In future episodes, Donald will out people for who
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: was baked twin. All right, thank you, Chris.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: Thank you Chris, Thank you Chris.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks for being our first guest.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: That would be so funny. That would be so funny
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: if that's how we did it. If in that scene
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: he's high.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I think you need to come clean. When we get
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: to scenes where you were.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Baked, that'll be like the whole series run.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, great, How long into the series did you stop
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: memorizing your lines?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Uh rt.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in future episodes to come as well. Oh,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say the scene with Johnny in the
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: in the in the lounge with with the woman that
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: that was my audition scene where Johnny comes in with
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the woman he says is dead and he's telling me
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: to throw tile in all her face. That was one
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: of the main, I think one of the three scenes
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: that I auditioned with. What was your audition scenes?
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Do you remember My audition scene was I'm really scared.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy that I get to wear a surgical mask,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: a mask because if I didn't have it on, my
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: face would look like this. And then I make the
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: scared face. Yeah, that was one of my auditioned scenes.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: And then and did you improv I love you?
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Or is that in the script?
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: No, we improv that. Bill came up to me. It
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: was like telling me you love him at the end.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: That was funny and I was.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Like, what is to say it? And then laugh when
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: And then Lonnie, by the way, everyone that's Lonnie. Lonnie's
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: playing the pizza delivery guy.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I had no idea that was him until watching the pilot.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: So Lonnie Lonnie exists. It's one of the few people
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: that exists as two different characters in the Scrubs universe.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's three different characters. But yeah, okay, why.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: There's Lonnie, there's pizza delivery guy?
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: And who was a was Lonnie also the guy that
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: played basketball? I don't remember.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, Scrubs fans will answer for us. But yeah,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: that was very funny. I love that when you say
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I love you, he looks. We both look at you like.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: What I say to you all the time.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: In this scene, also with the woman was supposed to
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: be really dead, and I remember the network pushed back
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: against Bill and said no, you can't have her really
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: genuinely pushing around a dead woman. You have to have
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: her at the end go I'm not really dead. So
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that was a rewrite forced by the network because Bill
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: thought it was funny if he really was just pushing
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: around a corpse.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Very funny too. I want to talk about Ken Jenkins
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: or second yes, because I feel like he was the
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: MVP of our show, you know what I mean, in
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: so many ways, like, uh, it's really difficult to be
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: on a show with such a huge ensemble cast where
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: everyone is likable, from the lead all the way down
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: to the guest stars. Everyone's likable. I think the hardest part,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: the hardest person to play in all of that would
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: be the bad guy, you know what I mean. And
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: he made it so that the bad guy you didn't
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: like him, but you still loved him, you know what
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: I mean. And I felt like he was literally the MVP.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Him and Judy Rayis actually were the MVPs of the
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: show because Judy had to tackle all of the dramatic stuff,
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Her character felt everything. She
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: was the nurse, she was the mother of the hospital.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: And Ken Jenkins, his character was the evil dad or
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: the you know what I mean, the grandpa who was
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: just over it all and was like, I just you know,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: I want this hospital to make money. We're broke, and
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: all that matters is if their insurance is going to
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: pay for it. If it's if they're not, get them
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: out of here, because we're we're broke. We got no dough.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: And I thought to make those two to make that
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: character lovable is a really, really, really hard thing to do,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: and he did it effortlessly, it seemed like in my eyes.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: And and same thing with Judy, you know what I mean.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Judy would played a role that was definitely needed in
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: this band of misfits. She played this character that was
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: just motherly and took care of you know, Bambi came
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: from that. That's that that stuck throughout the whole show.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: You being called Bambi.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I noticed that. Her very first line that comes
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: out of her mouth is calling me Bamby. I didn't
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. It's I didn't remember that. But
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: that's stuck for the whole run of the show. And
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of course will still call me that on the street
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: when I'm past them. But uh, her very first line
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: is calling me Bambi.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. And it was it
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: was just we knew what we were there to do.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: We're here to be funny, and we're here to make
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: everybody laugh, and you know, and and at times we're
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: gonna get dramatic and everything like that. But Judy and
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Ken had the tough roles. In my opinion, you knew
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Judy was supposed to make everybody feel safe. Ken was
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: supposed to make everybody feel anger, you know what I mean,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: in this in this crazy world. And they did it
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: so perfectly.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: And and Ken had a lot of the you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: social commentary that Bill was trying to get in there
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: about how fucked up the healthcare system is and how
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: how how fucked up it is that hospitals are like
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: no insurance, get him out of here, like you know,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: what do you like right away in the pilot. Of course,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: these issues are so relevant today more than ever. But
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: right away in the pilot you have them going, look,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care that you know nothing. Let me tell
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: you a couple of things. If they don't have insurance,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: get him out of here, and uh and and and
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: and Bill geniusly found a way to make that and
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: of course, Ken Jenkins is an actor. Together, they found
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: a way to make that character so lovable even though
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: he was he was the antagonist.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Talk about thirteen minutes and thirty eight seconds. I'm looking
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: at a still of you making out with Judy Reyies right,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: and Todd in the frame I have up. Todd is
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: watching because it's part of the fantasying. So what was
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: it like? You know, I think people who aren't actors
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: are always curious what it's like when you meet someone. Hey,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: nice to meet you, and then all of a sudden
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you have to just go do a fake makeout scene
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like that was the first day I met
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Judy too, and really, yeah, I feel like that was
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: our first scene together and I hadn't you know, I
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: remember me. I don't remember Neil at the table read.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: I don't remember Judy. I don't remember Ken at the
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: table read. I remember me, you, Johnny and Sarah for
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: some reason. And so when we did the makeout scene,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like that was my I know, it's not
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: the first day I met her. That's my first real
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: memory of Judy, you know what I mean? And I
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: remember she smoked cigarettes, right, before the scene, and I was.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Like, Ah, that's a power move, that's a power move.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: That's how you do it. But I've realized that's how
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: you do it. If you're gonna make out with somebody,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: make it so they got to work and not make
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: it so it's them having a great time making out. No,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: this is a job, dude, This is this isn't this
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: isn't you getting your rocks off while we're doing this scene.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: It's funny to think about someone smoking like, I mean,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I don't do you know any I mean, it's rare
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: to see anyone smoking cigarettes at all anymore.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Oh No, there are a lot of people that still
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: smoke cigarettes. Now vaping has turned into the work.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So I just feel like vaping of course, but just
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: the idea that Judy was I guess a smoker when
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: we started, right.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: I was a smoker when we started. I spoke started and.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Neil was always a smoker.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when we started doing the show, I think a
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: lot of a smoke cigarette. I mean in the cast
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: maybe you, Sarah and Johnny and Ken didn't, but everyone
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: else did.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't remember that.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: And then us doing the kissing stuff, and then watching
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: the episode and none of that made the show. Really.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: All it is is me, we're kind of cuddled up together.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: We're kind of cuddled up together, and uh and Rob's
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: over us watching. But I remember doing the scene if
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: feeling way more intimate than that, you know what I mean,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: way more you know what I mean, and then watching
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: it being like, oh, they didn't use any other other
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: good stuff.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, it's a really quick moment. And I love
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: that she's I love that you're naked, and she's like,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: all right, thanks, I'm out. I thought that was a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: cool introduction of her character.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: She was like, and I also and I also liked
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: that your imagination was me scoring in reality the real
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: what really happened was I got played and then got
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: turned into you know, I got you know, I stripped
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: down for someone, right.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: And she was like she got you know, she just
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to make out with someone and be like later
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: and she like she was like she kind of like
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: used you, whereas in my imagination you were using her.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was clever.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: I wanted to just quote talk about that it's going backwards,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: but that deer in headlight thing, I still have the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: foam antlers. I'm staring at them right now from that
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: that fantasy where I imagine I'm a deer at headlights.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: And and what we had to do was we backed
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: the mac up, the big semi, right up to my face.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: And the idea was for the that the truck would
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: floor it in reverse and and then we'd play it
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: and then we'd play it backwards right so it looked
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: like it was And then of course it hit a
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: mannequin too, but for this one shot, and I remember
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: standing there with my face against the grill of a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: of a Mack truck and being like leaning out to
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: the driver, being like, you sure it's in reverse? Right,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Like like there had to be some OSHA rule against that,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: but I but I was like standing there going if
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: this dude, Like I don't want to cause any waves
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: or anything, but I just want to double check you're
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: in reverse. We have finally saving a life. Oh, we
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: have a loma. We should talk about Loma. Right, the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful and talented Olma Right who played the nurse Roberts.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Nurse Roberts, who who whose introduction in the show is
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: you know amazing. Can you just call him so I
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: can go home? Please?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Can you just call him trying. She's so good
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: and and Loma was one of those again, another example
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: of someone who Bill just loved and thought was so talented,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and she you know, ended up being in the whole
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: the whole show until he eventually killed her off, felt
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: bad and brought her back as her twin sister, which
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that and later Laverne again, podcast, Laverne.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Again again, I'm gonna call you Laverne again.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: So we were thinking of like trying to summarize what
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: the lesson of the episode was, But I mean, I
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: think the episode, the lesson of the of the pilot
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: was basically the theme song, which is I can't do
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: this all on my own, right, I mean right.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: It's the introduction of how difficult it is to be
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: a doctor in a hospital and how the medical staff
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: at a hospital really depends on each other to work.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think, I mean, I don't think it's
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: a big leap to say that a lot of people
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: related to the show because they can see that in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: their own lives and how you turn to your friends
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: and your family. I mean, I think the show can be,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: as we all know, can be very very heartwarming, and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: that was what Bill did so geniusly was how it'd
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: be so funny and crazy and silly and fantasies and everything,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you can turn a
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: corner and you're losing a patient like I did at
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: the end, or or you see that our friendship is
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: so is so pure.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: It's still solid, also conquering fear, you know what I mean.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: JD was so afraid to do everything. As a matter
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: of fact, him and Elliott hide in a closet at
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: one point and doctor Cox catches them doing it and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: understands why they're afraid. But then at the end of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: the show still gives j D the confidence to perform
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: whatever it is you did with the tube and the
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: blood and all of that stuff, something that you know
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: JD was very afraid of and made him feel like
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: he was going to be okay. And he was, and
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: he had a support group around him.
• 1:05:11
