• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you're usually used to hearing when you turn on Fake
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Doctor's Real Friends, but it's Thanksgiving weekend and the guys
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: needed a break. Daniel needed some rest, Zach needed a break.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, Donald's probably hitting that peloton before the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Turkey comes. We are tired, but we also know that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you guys have missed hearing from us, And to be honest,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we don't like leaving me without an episode. It doesn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: leave a good feeling in our stomach. So this week
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I decided to round up my four favorite fan calls,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can dense them into one episode and call it fan appreciation. Guys,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: your messages, your beautiful artwork. You know, I don't know
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: if you guys know this, but you're a part of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the show. Um. When we pitched to advertisers, when we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: talk to people at large about the show, it's first
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Zack Ocdonald's relationship. That's obviously the first pillar that everyone
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: looks to. It's our guiding light, is the love between
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: those two. But the second thing we talk about, it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: always you guys. It's the fun that you bring to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the show that our favorite fan calls. You know, we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: look forward to those every week, and so this week
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna honor you, guys, honor the fans, the people
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we are thankful for. UM. So yeah, I'm really looking
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: forward to this. I picked some calls, and the funny
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: thing I noticed about the calls is that all of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: them have like special guests on. So it's not just
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Bill, who we love, we have his first
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: call on here, but you know, also Shay, there's something
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: special in those episodes that goes beyond just our typical episodes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: When we have a guest on, we're getting other stories,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we're getting new perspectives. We always learn a little something
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: about ourselves. And when you add the fan call to that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it's chaos. We never know what's going to happen. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it's turned out some of our very most best, our
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: most memorable experiences. So I collected them here to share
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: with you. I hope you guys enjoy and without further
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ado five six, seven eight, he's sorry about show we
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: made nar story. The first fan call I chose came
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: from Mark. Now this is all the way back in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: season one, episode three, and what I loved about Mark's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: call was that he got into the idea of what
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: guy love meant to a lot of straight guys. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it's extra fund because Bill is here, and he called
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Mark an evil villain for having a cat in his lap. Delightful,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: enjoyed this relic. Bill, we take a caller here on
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on our show, and it looks like, by the way,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was a super villain because it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is as as a as a gentleman. That is a cat.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: For you guys listening at home, his picture came up
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on Zoom and he's petting a cat, like like the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: evil genes you all are enjoying talking about your show. Well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I have bad news, all right, Joel, go ahead and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: introduce him. Yes, Hi, Mark, thanks so much for joining us.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Hi everyone, how are you? Can you hear me? Yes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we can here. You just find Marks. My first ever
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Zoom meeting. I've never done this. I'm glad it's working.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here. Well, Mark, you picked a good
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: episode to beyond because we have the creator of the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: whole show, Bill Lawrence. So if you have a question
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for any of us, go ahead, Well, Hellogan Lawrence, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hello all of you. That's awesome. It's so glad, where
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: do you live. By the way, I'm on the northwest
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: side of Chicago up and uh Avandale Old Irving Park area.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Shout to stand up. We're just talking about Neil Flynn.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's where that's the area of the world that he
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is from, my friend, but not your specific area. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: he's from Chicago. But he was not like downstairs right now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: No, no no, no, no, I mean he could be alright ahead,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Mark all right. Even from the earliest episodes, Scrubs wasn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: afraid to raise social issues and took a clear stance
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that I thought prioritized like well being of people over
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the economics and insurance bureaucracy. I felt like this helped
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of young people, myself included, start thinking about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the human side of health care and healthcare like as
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a human right for the first time and sort of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: some of those more serious issues. So I was just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: wondering if you guys were called any specific moments from
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: production episodes or moments on set that might have changed
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: your influence to the way you guys view the sort
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of work done by your characters, or just sort of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the health care system as all that. Don And and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Zach answer this for the show. I will tell you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this a lot lately, Mark, because
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the real j D and my pal we were both
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: kind of screw ups with a lot with very little
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: direction as young guys. And I remember asking him what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the hell he was doing going back to pre med,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and he talked about wanting to be of service, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and his viewpoint right now, you know, not to make
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this two point yet, um. I faced time with him
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: every night when he gets off work because he's running
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the COVID command center, he's running the whole i CU
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for this hospital, as we spoke about, and it helps
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: him decompress and not take that stuff into his family.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And he as a caregiver cares so much more about
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the humanistic side than any any of this other bullshit.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And he instilled that upon me, and he said we
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: could steal all of his stories, but we could never
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have a callousness. He said, he was only interested in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: me stealing his stories and his life and his name.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: If the undercurrent of the show was that it was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: about a bunch of people flaws and all that cared
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: most about helping and taking care of other people. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that was part of the series, and I'll we have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the rest to Donald and Zach. That's cool that you asked,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: because I think about him every day. He's out there
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: doing stuff much more important of course, and and and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and it's it's the perfect question for this era, Mark
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because these these these medical professionals and everyone who's working
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in the industry, whether you're a doctor, a nurse, or
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a janitor, a medic, everyone who's in this environment is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: uh has as as the world is finally seeing in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the spotlight how heroic these people are. And I think
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I always felt when we were making this show that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Bill was really shining a light on how dedicated these
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: these folks were and how they had to deal with
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: life and death every single day. One thing that released
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: stood out for me when you when you asked your
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: question was the I remember learning that the nurses really
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: run the show. Um. I hadn't spent much time in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a hospital when we started making Scrubs, and I learned
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that the doctors can't do it without the nurses. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the nurses are the ones who are on the front lines,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and the doctors have to be rotating and they can't
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: do anything without the help of amazing nurses. It wasn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: until I spent more time in hospitals with my both
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: my father and my sister getting sick that I really
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I And this was after Scrubbs, but I remember being like, Wow,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this is everything we were doing is so real. I'm
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: witnessing it on the front lines. That we see that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: doctor like every now and then, But man, these nurses
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and when we have a good one, it is such
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a difference, and and and make puts a smile on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: my sick father's face. And when we have one that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit aloof it just drives you crazy. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I just really, um, it really came home to me
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: everything we have been doing on the show, how crucial
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and how important of the people on the front lines,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: particularly in this anecdote I'm telling the nursing staff of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of hospitals were to me. The one thing that really
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sticks out for me is to piggyback on what Bill said,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is you know, for some hospitals, if you don't have insurance,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you can't get treated. And the one thing that Scrubs
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: did which I thought was amazing was we had a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: bunch of the doctors on the show, we're a bunch
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of rule breakers. Benders, especially when it came to something
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: like that, you know what I mean. That was always
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: special for me because you know, a lot of people
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't have great insurance, especially right now, a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: people don't have it and any insurance at all, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Test any insurance at all, thank you, Zach. And Test
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: costs a lot of money, you know what I mean.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And if there are rule breakers and rule benders out
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: there that can save lives in that way, I'm I'm
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all for that, you know what I mean. And I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: love that we had people on the show like Dr Cox.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: When Kelsel is trying to get this person out of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the hospital, Cox comes up with so many different ways
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to get to get this guy in bed, and I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: thought that was just amazing. And Mark the we obsessed
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: so much about your question. All in terms of the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: character Dr Kelso as an episode you guys might remember,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I remember the song and the scenes that because the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: real j D he runs a hospital now and he's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like and you're forced with having to make these decisions
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for the greater good. And there's an episode in which
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Dr Kelso, you know, it has to punt a guy
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you know, from treatment that they don't have insurance to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have money in an effort to still build other stuff
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and to have money to save other people. And we
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: made this joke about how every time Dr Kelso's foot
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hits the bottom of the stairs when he leaves the hospital,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: he starts whistling as if the day doesn't even affect him.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And at the end of that episode, even he because
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he knew he was directly responsible for his guy not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: getting care, his foot hits and he he has a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: moment you can see it's really hard for him to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: start whistling again. There's a Citizen Cope song called Sideways playing,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and so we just wanted to make sure that the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: people weren't the villains and that the system was So yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I'm really grateful that you noticed that and asked about it. Awesome.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys for giving such a detailed, great sponses. Uh.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think it just speaks to how much you guys
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: feel for this show and put into this show. It
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: really comes across and I think that's why I've been
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: such a big fan for so long. So thank you,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark, Thanks so much for asking your question.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Do you want to ask another question? Oh? Sure, all right,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you get one more. All right. So this episode episode three, uh,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and the show as a whole, I think has a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: lot of moments that exemplify really healthy, often sensitive male relationships.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Both your guys is Turk and j D Uh and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: j D and Dr Cox and other ones. And I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: was just wondering if you guys could maybe talk a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: little bit about what was important to you guys to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: have positive sort of emotional moments between rows and how
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that might have affected your real life friendship. I think
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that's a great question. I'm glad you asked it with
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Bill on the show because for me, I really felt
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in a positive way. Granted we we joked about it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a lot, but I thought in a positive way we
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: were showing you know, when we were growing up. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: mean when Donald. I'm Bill's a smidgen older than us,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but when Donald and I were growing up, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: anything you did that was a motive towards guy, you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: were called gay and it was derogatory and it was negative,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and it was just an adjective in high school and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: junior high and middle school and everything was and I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: always as someone who was it's not no surprise I'm
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: similar in a lot of ways to j D. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: always felt like, but this is who who I am.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I am a guy who is a hugger and who's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: emotional and where's his heart in his sleeve and loves musicals,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: who happens to be a heterosexual. And I felt like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Bill wrote a character a friendship that was like, well,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: we're gonna show that that's okay to men in a way,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: because I I've noticed it in my life, you know
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that Donald and I would hug and stuff.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I did a Broadway show and and Scrubs
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: fans would come to the to the stage door and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they'd be like, j D, can I have a hug?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And I would always kind of laugh. It was almost
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like the show was giving a certain community of men
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: telling them that it was okay too. You're not gonna
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: no matter what you're actuality is, who cares. It's not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be threatened by being like g D, just being
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: who you truly are. And I I always thought that
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that was was a really positive thing that that Bill
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: put out there. Yeah. I love that. I love the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: fact that the two of them were so comfortable around
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: each other that they could be like brothers and lie
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in the same bed in their underwear and it not
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: be a thing for them, you know what I mean?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I I like that and I think that storyline definitely
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: transferred into my real life with Zach, you know what
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like, I feel like my comfortability about being
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: around other men, uh and and not being afraid to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: be who I am and except who they are is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: all because of Scrubs, you know what I mean. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I've played best friends in other projects, and you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you play the tough guy, etcetera, etcetera. But with these guys,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: none of that stuff mattered. What mattered was that they
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: loved each other at the to to day, and I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I cherished the fact that I can have friendships with
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: men and I can say to them I love you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and not be looked at as a bad thing. It's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a weird topic for me because you know, j D
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was based on real j D. Donald was based on doctor.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: But the truth is with these two characters anyways, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: always joked around that I was kind of wrestling with
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: both sides of myself because I am I played sports
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and was the high school jockey type guy that I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: was afraid of this stuff. And on the other side,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I do Zach and I share a love of Broadway musicals.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Robin French, go Bill VOI pertitude alright whatever and uh
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the watch digression we'll sing lame is in later episodes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I was always wrestling as a young man with you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: know which which lane I it in, and wishing that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it would be easier just to not have to pick
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a lane. And then these guys, look, the truth is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: whatever you create a relationship as a writer, it's yours
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: for a second, and then the actors, if they're great,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: they wrestle ownership from you. And what starts out is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: eight twenty years, you know, quickly in this show became
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: fifty fifty mine in theirs and then became all theirs
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: in a way that I would write moments that weren't
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to be romance moments, you know, like whether it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: was them wanting to hug each other, you know at
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the end, and then when I look in the dailies,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: they're rubbing their faces and heads against like that's that's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: my favor. My favorite gift is my favorite gift whatever.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: People people are always like, you're using gifts of yourself.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that one I do because it looks
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like you wanted to smell each other. Dude, that really
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: looks like I think one of you ad lived in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that you smell like an athlete and in a way
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that you're just so happy. So my point is I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was doing it as an intellectual exercise, and these guys
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: made it something more. And it's all about their You
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: get lucky on a TV show when what you're watching
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: feels even more real because the undercurrent of it, their
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: intense friendship is reel. You know. I also like that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: when we meet people nowadays, they're so eager to talk
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: about their best friend and how much they love their
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: best friend, you know what I mean, And that that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that makes me feel great. You know, he's the brown
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: bear to my vanilla bear, or you know what I mean.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I honestly think it gave us a certain community of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: men who watched the show and we're open to it,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: sort of permission to to to be more true to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: who they were as Mark if you want to, if
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you want to indulge my version of googling my own
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: name is all occasionally go looking at all these wedding
• 15:54

• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the facts and then the groom. The groom always stands

• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I have literally never received as many Twitter notifications, Instagram
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: d ms asking about Kate and her story. I chose
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Kate because she wrote to me and said that she
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was breastfeeding and that the latching situation was as we
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: described on the show, and so I thought it would
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: be fun to like maybe trip up the guys with,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you know, an actual breastfeeding mom. But came on and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: blew us all away, and then I had had great
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: conversation with Casey oh man. I really enjoyed this conversation. So,

  Speaker 1: even before we said I'm gonna do fake doctors anymore.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to do fake doctors. I don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: want to be on the show anyway. It's very hard
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to get on this show. I don't think you give

• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a writer, You're a philanthropist. You're a Twitter superstar. Uh, writer, philanthropist, writer, philanthropist. First,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: then Twitter Superstar has only fans if you're interested, like
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you's only fans, all right, Donald, have you ever been
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: on an only fans? I don't think we're allowed on them. No,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not allowed on the only fans with I don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: think our women. I don't think our women would support. Well,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you're paying money. I wonder. I wonder, I really do
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: wonder what only fans is like, because it can't just
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: be somebody on only fans just sitting there naked like
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this is what I do. Well. Isn't it just like
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know Joel's do you know what it is?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Isn't it just like a strip club but someone's hose a.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: You gotta go to Joel because you can. To me,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I've lived with a lot of sex workers over the year, camboys,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: girls and such. Let's talk about that. Sorry wait, sorry,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you can mute your mic again. Not too. Well, you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: live with sex Joel, y'all know nothing about Wow, that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: sounds like a good podcast. Uh yeah, one day I'll
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: talk about my college days. But yeah, the kids, you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: they enjoy it. They love they love the only fans
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just it's just amateur porn essentially. But
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the cool thing about only fans you're paying the sex
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: worker directly as opposed to a large company or getting
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it for free. So the cam sorry to interrupted the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: cam things they take a giant cut, whereas this goes
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: directly to the person and they can control how much
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: it charges and all of that stuff. So there's some
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: issues with the app that I'm not, you know, knowledgeable
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: enough to talk about it. But do you think that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: don make like two four millions very controversially million, not
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: twenty four million? How much did she make something like
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: twenty something millions? Because she's two millions. Then she said
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna do anything newde and everyone was like, well,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: then when do we all pay for And then she
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: was like right, pretty much pretty much, Hi, Kate, joke, sorry,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Were well, I don't know if you picked
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: me because of my signs or because of my situation
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: or we give ne situations and then signed because I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: really got it. Yeah, okay, well um Zack, I I
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: am so touched at how protective you are of we
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: nursing mothers who are fans of the show, because you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: people will tell you even in like which like you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: way to go league and everything, but they'll tell you,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know, breastfeeding is the thing in the world, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it's like, Nope, it's hard. It's really hard for a
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: lot of us. Not everyone can do it, and we
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: just have to feed our babies. And the latch thing
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is real, the open wound nipples thing is real, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: it's you're sobbing at five in the morning trying to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: give your child nourishment. And so I don't listen to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: your podcast while nursing because of Donald. But I just
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask Joel. I mean I listened every week.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm an enormous fan of the podcast in the show.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, because I want I want the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Oprah voice Donald, I do. I just don't want to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: have her cake and eat it too, don't. She wants
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the Opra voice. She just doesn't want it while she's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: dealing with that tricky latch. Here's what you need, Here's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: what you don't know, okate, Zach was being facetious when
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he talked about the latch and everything like that. He
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't care about your nipples. He doesn't care I care
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: about kates areolas. And let me tell you something. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: had so many people tell me that that they listened
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: while breastfeeding, and I thought it was very charming. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of course if I was breastfeeding, I would get lost
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: in a good podcast too. It's perfect, you can't and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it's also COVID, so it's not like I get an
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: escape by like being like I'm going to go to
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: a movie, you know, and sleep in a movie theater.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to do. I'm stuck at home. I'm on
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the couch, I'm nursing, I'm pumping, I'm holding my mama's boy,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: baby boy, and so there's not a lot to do.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: But I listened to the podcast in my car because
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I still do my family's grocery shopping. And I listened
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in my car, and I sit in the grocery store
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: parking lot with the drive through coffee for like ten
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: or fifteen extra minutes. And then I get home and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like the lines were so long because I'm just
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: hiding from my So you guys are my escape, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that's what I told you. Well, thank you. You have
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: a decision to make things because I will make a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: promise to you right now that I won't yell anymore,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: so you can listen while you're breastfeeding. No, don't do that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I would, I would never. I cannot take I would
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: give you that, or I will give you the parking lot?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Which one? Do you know? I Because if I took
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: away the Oprah introductions from all future guests, I would
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I would hate myself. I would be a lot of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: people only listen to the showing to hear Donald's Opra voice.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Kate Zelinsky, fuck them. It's all about you, Kate, and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: only you. You can think this is the first thing
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that's been about only me since myke Toildler's school shut
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: down and my job ended with in March, Like this
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is the thing that is, this is the only thing
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that's been only me. Kate, you sound like my wife.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm gonna go get her. Don't go get
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: your wife. Why are you getting her? Oh? Jesus, what
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: is oh? Because I know why? Because she's fixing the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: rant about Donald not helping enough. And I bet he
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: thinks this is going to be some couples counseling if
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: he lets her rants on the show. These people didn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: tune in for fucking Donald's couples counseling. Tuned in for
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: a Scrubs podcast. Um, Kate, where do you live? I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: live in Richmond, Virginia. Um, but I'm currently the reason
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I have like this time to do it. We're currently
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: visiting my parents at their um lake house in North Carolina.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That's got to be beautiful a lake house. It's wonderful.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It's an insane, beautiful welcoming house on a beautiful lake.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It's so used to get away. Okay, we're going to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: jump ahead to fix your life real quick. Here's my wife. Uh,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: this is case this is Casey Cobb. This is Kate's Zelenski.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Ok Casey, your hair looks beautiful today. Thanks. I got
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: it colored very nice, Kate. Kate was just sharing how
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: hard it is to be a mom and to have
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: every single one of your minutes of your day go
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to taking care of your children and your family. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Donald said, let me go get my wife, so maybe
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you can speak to to to how you're coping and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: how you're how you're making that work, because I know
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: for a fact Donald is necessarily pulling his weight. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Um well, I have to be honest, Kate. Today I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: left and I went and got my hair done for you,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: because you know what, I had grays all the way
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: down to my ears, and you know what, I knew
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that this the only thing I could do for myself. Granted,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I came home and there was shit everywhere, and the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: kids ate donuts on their lunch break and you know,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: complete shit show, I'm sure, but my night. My husband
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: told me yesterday I have white trash roots because that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: my hair hasn't been colored since February. White trash roots.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And I said, Honey, that's so lovely of you to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: tell your nursing wife, mother of two, full time everything.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're nursing. Oh my god, Casey, you
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: told me once that you were like, because Kate just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: told a story about how sometimes she listened to the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: podcast and stays extra long in the supermarket parking lot,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: And you told me a story once where you were like,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go with Chick fil A, but I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: chose a Chick fil A like five minutes away because
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I need to bring it was. It was literally the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: day that they announced that schools were closing. And we
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: are not that schools were closing. They closed, you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in the spring of last year, but then when we
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: weren't going back in the ball and they they told
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: us and I literally just said, I'm going to go
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: pick up Chick fil A for everyone. I got in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the car and I drove forty five minutes to Chick
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Filight and cried out the fire away there. M hmm.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It's so hard because you know what, and I'm sure
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: your husband thinks he's helping, but he's not about the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: breastfeeding story. We all know he's not. I mean, in fact,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in fact, we're going on our first date, um since

  Speaker 1: my parents lake house. They're going to watch the kids,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and we're celebrating our anniversary, which was last week. It's
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: our first date out. So I put on makeup for
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the first time and dad knows how long. And my

  Speaker 1: in a play tonight? And I'm like, you know you
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: just you just you just haven't seen me in makeup
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and ant you have to like this husband because my
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: husband is an e er physician who actually has a

• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and see. I bet he's still made you have sex
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: when you came home. Wow that Casey. Okay, this is
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a guest contest. I apologize, Kate. I'm sorry. Sometimes it's
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: literally just let me have three hours on the couch
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: after the kids go to bed, to not talk to me,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: not doing anything, Just let me watch my crappy TV
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and you load the dishwasher and and don't even talk
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to me till the next moment. And that sexual And
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: then Casey and I text about the true crime shows
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: we're watching. Donald Donald doesn't watch him, so Casey and
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I are like the two women like drinking our white wine,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: being like, did you see this one? It's hard? I
• 29:42

  Speaker 1: don't I wish I knew how to fix it. But no,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you can't imagine how happy my husband is for me.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: In this moment, he like he has my daughter fishing

  Speaker 1: and my sisters, so I know who they are and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I and actually yeah, so yeah, okay, I like him again.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Just tell him not to make fun of your fucking roots.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: You know, you know what, it's just kind of like Casey,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you understand, like Donald says all the time, like you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to ship talk your husband. You
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: love him more than life itself, but it's just so
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: fun to every once in a while be like I
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: hate I do it more than I probably should. But
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: tell him about the time and okay I will, But
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: let me tell you one thing. Though a lot of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the times, even though we blame the husband's, a lot
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of it is the kids, because you know what, we
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: do everything without even thinking that. There have been times
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that Donald is standing right next to me and they're like, Mom,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I need this, and the other kid is Mom, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you didn't do this, and Donald's just sitting there zoned
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: out watching TV and it's and I had I just
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: recently asked Donald. I just recently started saying, guys, you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: have another parent right here. You know you have to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: redirect because you end up doing it all yourself because
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you do it faster, better and it gets done. You know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: my daughter, at like nine in the morning, because she
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: knows how to play me now during COVID, will come
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: into my bathroom and open the shower curtain for like
• 31:29

• 32:29
  Speaker 1: to find something that you like to do or something
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: for you that nobody else likes to do, and then
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you get to do it alone and you're on your own.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So now here's the problem. Now here's a problem. Now
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I've been saying that forever. Maybe you just gotta find
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a hobby. You gotta find something that you like to

• 33:02
  Speaker 1: my hobby. I'm too tired to do anything else. I don't,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I don't. I regret bringing my wife up to this conversation.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Now it's your fault, that's all. You're the one who
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: man got her. My money happens to be kind of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: beneficial to the whole family. I love to cook. I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: love to cook. Everything's about cooking. In fact, when I
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: am nursing Zach, because I can't listen to this podcast
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: because while I'm nursing, because Donald so loud, I watch
• 33:29

• 35:16
  Speaker 1: You're welcome, You're welcome, You're welcome, Kate. Do you have
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a question? Um for for any of us? I know
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: you have to go because you have date night? But
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: do you have? But actually, are are the other couple
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that's driving forty five minutes from Asheville just told me
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they're running late, so that can be alright. I won't
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: take up your time, but you can take up mine. Now,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: go ahead. What's your question? Yes, I'm actually really glad
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that shas here because my first question is about cast
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and crew, Zach. It's it's for you. Mainly, I've always
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: wondered how when an actor is a star of a piece,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: kind of like Kevin Costner does all the time, and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: they also direct you directed episodes of Scrubs and you
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: know other projects that you've been the start of, who
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: directs you when you're in the scene. And I don't
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: mean like here's your mark, here's your site line. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: mean like you finish a take with Donald and there,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sure you're not like uh, Donald,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you know a little bit less and uh you know Judy,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Uh you know that what seemed a little whiny and
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: mean no note some you know, like, so who's behind camera?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: It's a very question, it's very question. Um so I'll
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: just use the scrubs example. There'd be uh, the writer
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: of the episode. In this case it's Mike Schwartz, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: he would be sitting behind the monitor. Bill of course,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: would come to the very first rehearsal of every scene
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: and he would watch it. He'd watch my blocking. He
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: he didn't care too much about where the where the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: camera was for the specific director and especially when he
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: trusted them. But he but he was basically blocking them.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, as the showrunner writer, are the jokes playing?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: And when the jokes weren't playing, he'd tweaked them or
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: rewrite them. And so he would see and he'd go
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: so he could give me a note and he'd be like,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you know, when you do that line with Donald, you
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: gotta have more energy because of X, Y and C,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and I go, got it, got it, And then he'd
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: go off to go right with the writers. The writer
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: of that particular episode would stay on set at the monitors,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: so very often I would when the camera's on me
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm directing, I would then obviously you can tell
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: if the crews laughing, if I'm if I'm gonna scene
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: with Donald and I'm making him laugh, I'm feeling good
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: about it. On my weeks, we would have playback. We
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't always have play back because it's a time suck,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: but on when I'm directing, I would have the ability
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to go back and play back to take and go, Okay,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that was good, let's move on. So I do need
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: to be able to play back the video and then
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I would just check in with with whatever writer it was.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: But you know, one thing I got good at was
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: was kind of sensing when I did Garden. When I
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Garden set, wish I was here being on camera and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: directing myself. You kind of start to get a sense
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: of like, I I know when I'm good, I know
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: when I suck. I know when I I felt weird
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean, do you just get to the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: point where you can be really honest with yourself and
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: know when you're not in your rhythm. But you maybe
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: need that writer or that a d or someone to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: be for you to be like was that too big?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And for them to be like, yeah, that was too big.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: You definitely need a producer type who you trust, who's funny,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: who's a good writer, I think, uh, and or a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: first a d assist director or sometimes the cinematographer. I've
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: had a great relationship with who's who whisper in your ear?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Something that really that really helps because I've had times
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: where I went where I did, like on Alex Sink
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I remember doing like a really funny take and I'm directing.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's good, but I'm a little secure about it,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and I go to the I'm excited, sort of like
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: walking back to the monitors and no one's there and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like this, I don't like this feels like tight
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: rob walking without without a net because I I don't know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I need fucking help, you know what I mean. So
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I think that that I much prefer it um when
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I have people I trust that I may think that's good.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: The great thing about my favorite thing about acting directing
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: is that I can steer the scene from within. So
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: if I if in my opinion, I want Donald to
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: be anged turk Donald to be angrier in this moment,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking come Adam harder. I'm gonna be more
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: aggressive with my lines because I'm trying to steer him
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: from within the scene to get more riled up um
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: or or or or like when you want funnier lines
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: or something like that. The great thing about you know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you would do it as an actor too, but Bill
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: would have a certain set of jokes and then you
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: would have like five more and you'd be like, just
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: run him off, and it would be great because you
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: would get performances out of us where it was like
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: we were giving We trusted you enough because we thought
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: you were funny enough. Also, your scope and your visual
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: was what. We trusted that enough also that we were like, yeah, man,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: whatever you want us to say, we're gonna say that.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Ship So we get to the end of scenes or
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: we get to punch lines and stuff like Zach that,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and Zach would throw new punch lines in and you
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: trusted and go with it because of the fact you
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: know that you you've seen what he's done. And also
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he was just so confident in doing it, so okay
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: when you say you know, he's like, he's like, uh,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: this is a note for you. This is the note
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: for you and none for me. Even if a director
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: does even if the director is acting and he does
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: do that, the confidence that he's showing in the situation
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: makes you more trustworthy. Now it's not my place because
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not directing to say to the director or to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: another actor, I think you should do it this way.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I think you're doing it wrong. But because he directed
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: so many episodes, we got used to it, and I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: think the first episode it felt a little weird, but
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: then after that it was like, dude, whatever you want, Zach.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of in a testament if
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I may like to compliment, like the kind of examples
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: that you have been for positive male relationships and mature,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: you know, open men together, but also like there's a
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: lot of egos. I I don't imagine that that's always
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the case when suddenly your co star and in your
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: real life best friend are coming out and they're suddenly
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: kind of in this status change, you know, and for
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you to just like take a note and not just
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: swallow it, but like appreciate it and trust with that well.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And also I would say that he was rooting for me.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's my best friend and he was stoked
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: for me. He was the opposite of an ego because
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: he was like, this is so cool you're directing. You know.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: That was the fine and Johnny c two, I should say,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and I meant the whole cast. I never everyone. I've
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: been asked this before and I think I've answered it,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: but I'll say again. When I started directing the show,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a single They were all rooting for me.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: They were all excited for me. Bill of course was
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a competitive motherfucker. But the rap because he was a
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: little like, Okay, here's the hardest episode we've ever made,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: but which I won't mention the zip line episode? You
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: did you already? No, I didn't mention it. I didn't
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: mention it. Now on my Twitter feed no matter what
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I right, people like, oh, is this the episode about
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the zip line? All right? Buck you guys. But no,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: everyone was rooting for me and everyone was supportive, and uh,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it so much because, um,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: you know, Donald and I can make each other laugh
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: so so quickly and easily. So when he's doing his
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: when he if he's got a big joke and I'm
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: cracking up, and then we're in the zone together and
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: do another take and and say this, and then he's
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: willing to try it. You know. It's it's it's so
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: much fun. It's it was amazing. It Also it also
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: feels like, uh, Scorsese and de Niro or Scorsese and Pacino,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like not that we're
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: on that level, or we are. Donald will tell us,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: tell us, but it's like, you know, Scorsese puts his
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: friends in the movie. He's not putting them in the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: movie to make them fall flat on their face, you
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so when Zach is giving
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: you direction and everything when we're shooting, he's not doing
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: it because he wants to get through today. He wants
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: you to shine just like everyone else. He wants everything
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: to be perfect, you know. And so where there are
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: people that come into a situation like this and they're
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: just like, let's just get the lines right and everybody
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: and we can move on. I just want to tell
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: my story, and that's it where Zach is wants to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: tell his story, but he's also open to you expressing
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: yourself in the piece. Yeah, great question, Kate, you have
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: another one, since we like you so much. Oh, you're
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: so You're so nice. Actually, I would like to tell
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you just why I actually reached out to Joel if
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I could, because I just think it's crazy, um, because
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I don't believe out in signs unless they work out
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: for me. But I right, um, but there's not enough
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: time in the day. Uh. I was doing one of
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: my hiding from my family errands listening to the latest episode,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: and the errand I happened to be doing was I
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: was returning some scrubs to a store that my husband
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: had ordered online that were comically large on him because
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we're all trying to order online and it sucks.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: We have no idea, like you know. And so I
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: was listening to your podcast returning scrubs and when I
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: walked into the Uniform City store that sells the scrubs,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: the song Everywhere by Michelle Branch your anthem, and it
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: was like, listen, we were gonna. I thought I had
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: her on the hook. We were we were Twitter d M.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: I said, would you come on the show? She goes sure,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and I go, would you play Everywhere? Live? On was sticking?
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: She's like the dots came up and then they went away,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: and I was like, that's like when you're off fishing
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and the fish gets read. I haven't cast again. I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: feel like I can on read. Yo left you on Red,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: isn't it left you on red? Same ship, red spelled
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the same way. Dog. At least I can at least
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I can brag them. Michelle Branch left me on Red.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: That's true, that's true, and I love you about it.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And it was like right like Zach, it was right
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: at the like because yeah, you know the key change,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: like the huge key change. And I was like, oh god,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: this is a sign. So I like asked Joel if
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: it was a sign, and she got back to me.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, I guess so, because I never do
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: things like this, I'm like, I never win a raffle,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I never win in anything. No one picks me, like
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: and as I can't believe, I'm actually you're gonna win.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Can we give her some free ship? No? No, I
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I don't know, are you no?
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Because she blamed me for the king of her kid,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I purposely never heard. I heard you say that ship
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: you said, and I know breastfeed while listening motherfucking loud.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: You even said because Donald's too motherfucking loud. I heard you.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: You said it to my wife. You even said to
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: my wife. You even said it to my wife. Can
• 45:20

  Speaker 1: a very special episode because we have a surprise guest.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence, the creator of the whole darn thing, is
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: here so you can ask us anything. I have so
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: much to ask you, but before I get into that,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I just want to I have been watching you guys
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: for so long. I have I think watched the series
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: start to finish over thirty times since two thousand four.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: No that's that's almost that's almost thirty times more than
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Donald send him. So, um, it's it's my happy place.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: It's my husband's cheat called to my mood. So like,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: if I'm in a bad mood, like you know, I'm
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: on my period and you know, usually you need to
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: give women chocolate and wine. No, you just need to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: put on an episode of Scrubs. And I'm like, I
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: hate it that he has, like he knows this Achilles
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: deal of mine. I hate it so much. But he
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: also uses it very very much ridiculous. I wish Donald
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: wishes he could put on Scrubs to calm down. His
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: wife would listen. She don't even have to be on
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: a pair. My wife just don't like me. Man. I'm
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: now I'm just convinced she's guessing today, I'm guessing today
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: hasn't been the best quarantine day the past ever, since
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: school went back, it's been well, I'm sure there's a
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: lot of I'm sure there's a lot of parents out
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: there that can relate Donald. Who are who can empathize
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: with you? You should know nor Donald pointed out while
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: you were waiting that my wife is essentially playing herself
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: on the show. So so so for me, I don't think.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think. I don't think popping on
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: maybe exacted. Yeah, I don't think popping on that. Yeah. Well,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: and that's how she's in your life. You just hit
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: the jackpot, my friend. You know you would think that,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and yet it's also very very scary then, you know what?
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I always think, Bill, I think that,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: and you've said a version of this, but I think
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: it's kind of I mean, this is maybe stupid to say,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: but the universe kind of gives you who you need.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: And you and Donald both have very tough christal I'll
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: give it capital t um wives, but they because you
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: guys have big personality, they keep you in check and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: sometimes that's very hard. But some wallflower who's gonna let
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: you do whatever you want is not gonna work for
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: for six months with you guys. I thought you were
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: saying that Donald I should be able to trade wives
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and have it be cool with them. I thought that's
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: where you're going, that's something you guys can work out,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: because I don't think it would be cool with Kristina.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be cool with Krista, but not for me,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: just for her she's so in love with Donald it's
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: so upsetting. Case it will be all right when a
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: case you'd be like, what we get a pool? Yeah,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: case you'd be like, case you'd be like, I'll make
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: out a bill for a pool. Listen, I gotta tell
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: you that Kristen. Kristen does this thing that's so awkward
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: where we're a hug. We're in front of Bill and
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: we're hugging, and you know, I give a standard hey,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: good to see you hug, and she's like, and Bill
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: standing right there, and she'll be like, don't, don't, don't,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: don't let it go. So it's so awkward, and she's
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: doing it just to funk with Bill. And I'm sitting
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: there with like a red face, Crystal. I don't like it.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. Nor where are you going from.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I'm calling from India, friend, all the way from India. Baby.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: This podcast is truly global. Donald, Hey, did you get
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: able to get a mug? No? I actually haven't gone
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: around to ordering it yet. Also, stuff is not coming
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in from the US right now. They're taking forever to
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: reach us, so I'm just waiting for ship to get up.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I have to say, I have to say on the
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: merge front, this is a slight diggression. When MacDonald and
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I started this podcast, Um, the people I heard said
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to us, and we were, Donald and I don't know
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: podcast that much. I've listened to a few. He's listening
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: to none. And we said, um, they said, just you know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: podcast listeners really like you know, some basic merge a
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: T shirt or a mug because you're you're build a
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: community and it's sort of a club and people like
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And so Donald and I said, okay, well
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: we'll make merch. That's cool. You know, we were never
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: in a rock band. That'll be fun for us. So
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: it's taking a long time to get it up. It's
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: and and uh. And on the podcast we've joked about
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: all these funny merch ideas. We put up a mug
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and a mask and they were gone within like three hours.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: And Donald like, now, I've been texting like we need
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: to take the shilling more seriously because people are not
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: sucking around with fucking merch. They want their merch. Donald,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: there is a lot you guys can do much wise.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: And I was just like sure, if I knew this
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: was going to happen, I get like you know the show,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: whether faces on it or something printed before like I
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: got on this call, but like you look great. You
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: look when I got when I got the mail, and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh shoot, I need to start looking
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: like a human being again. It's almost one o'clock at night.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Nor just texting me that the only merch she wants
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: is a five six seven eight Bill Lawrence thing, which
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: I think is very nice to have said. Hey, by
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: the way, I promise we promised Nora a coffee mug.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: That she doesn't have to order a coffee mug. Zact
• 56:14

• 56:27
  Speaker 1: if you're from here on out, from here on out,

• 56:35
  Speaker 1: making it onto the show. Yeah mug, I think mug again,

  Speaker 1: her head, like, how the funk am I getting to
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: India right now? By the way, by the way, I

  Speaker 1: what's going on, what's here? So, so if we were
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: to pick up the show today, um X number of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: years after it has gone off yet, and we had
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: to pick up from where the boys are today and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: the whole class is today, But where do you see
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: the show going. Do you think that they will still
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: be at Sacred Heart or do you think that j
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: D and Turf would go into private practice together? Where
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: do you see like the whole show going? Like, just
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: because there was so much towards the end of season eight,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: I don't consider season nine in actual season. So just
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: letting all of that whatever, whatever, whatever, that was there
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: was only one Nor, there was only one main difference
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: with the season nine recalling major differences. Hold up you
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: or both you and Bill were gone, so the magic
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: was gone, the magic dreamed. I'm answering Nor's question because
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I want to hear Donald Zack's answer to this. So No,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: we were talking a lot because everybody always asked Donald,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Zack and me if we're ever going to reboot the show,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: and Uh, what's really interesting is we've always had opportunities,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: but everybody on this show a works constantly because they're
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: also super talented and be We see each other on
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: our own because we love each other, so you know,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: we we haven't always been driven to do even for
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: me getting to come on this show on Zack and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Donald's podcast, Yes it's Theirs. For me, is such a
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: co opportunity to see two guys I love so. Uh.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Only recently we've been starting talking about that and thinking
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: about what it would be and with the writers, here's
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: the question for you guys. I think that we think
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Zach and j D and Turk would always be close,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: and we think that they would always be of service
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: and that those two were doctors for life. But the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: one thing that we always got caught up on is
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: when you watch the finale of season eight and Zack's
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: voice j D's voice over says, uh and who's to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: say that all these things wouldn't come true just this once?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: You know? And then as writers we fight. Does that
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: mean that they all came true? Or does that mean
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: that j D is hoping they came true? So that's
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: where we always start. What do you guys think? Because
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: we always started to go like, if we rebooted this,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: does that mean that j D and Donald's kids ultimately
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: are going to end up together and married like they
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: do in the show. Does that mean that those things
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: actually happened? You know? You know? So? Uh so I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: would because to me, that's the trap. Do you think, Zach,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: do you think that those things that we were showing
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: in the finale were real? Or do you think they
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: were your dreams? Um, that's a question I've never been asked,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm semi embarrassed to admit that it gave me
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: goose bumps on my arm. But I don't hold anything
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: back from your listeners. Um. I've never been asked that question, Bill,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: and it's a great question. And I as as as
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: as you were talking about it, I I kind of
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: answered it automatically and said, no, that was j D's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: fantasy of how great life could be. And then I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: started thinking, And then I started thinking, like, if you
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: brought it back, it might be interesting to show that
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: things had not gone that way at all. And in fact,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: he's um, they've all been separated, and they were you know,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: you know, on this podcast a lot we talked about
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: how we're all living life and and COVID aside, happy
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: people and doing the best that we can, but we
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: always talk about how we missed the community of this
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: wonderful thing that happened to us for for nearly a decade.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: And it made me think that it might be interesting
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: that the characters aren't together. They don't have that special
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: bond and there is some reason that has to bring
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: them together, and and and joy and and community come
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: out of bringing them back together. It's always what se
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: messed us up, broke you go Downald. I I agree
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: with you, Zach. I think I think you're right. I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: think I think that's a better story. Johnny loves Chatti
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: didn't go that long, you know what I mean? That
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: happy ending of of the kids being the next generation
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: of Turk and j D. But it's a love it's
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: the love story that you know, Turke and j D's
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: love story is a great love story, But this is
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: the actual love story where you know their children are together.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's too happy they where do they hate
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: each other? That I think? I know? See? No, that's
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the problem is that I feel like, you know, people
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: wanted when j D says, who's to say my fantasies
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't come true? Justice once that you want to believe
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: that that next Christmas they were all together, you know,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: and that they stayed friends. And I think people would
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: be really not happy in a in a bad way
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: if we came up on a world that they were
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: no longer in each other's lives. So I think that's
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the immediately. No, No, let me clarify what I think
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: that I'm saying. J D and Turk are still tight.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Their kids just don't get along, you know what I mean? Well,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: I was I was saying that we can be tight
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: but separated, you know, um, And I think that Bill,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: you know this, Bill, you know this better than anything.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: The audience will often say something two things at once.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: I remember when I when we screen tested Garden State,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: they were at the very end. We had a focus
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: group about twenty people. No, you weren't at this one,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: and they said, uh um, they said, how many of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: you this was random strangers? And they said, how many
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: of you feel like the ending was a little too pad?
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: But you know, the two lovers get together in the airport,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: and I would say, like seventy of the hands went up,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: and they said, okay, um, honey, how many of you
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: want them to be together? Every single hand went up.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: So as the writer, you're trying and writer director, you're
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: trying to balance like you obviously want to you want
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: to make the audience happy, but you you also want
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: to subvert what they think they want a little bit.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Do you don't mean? Bill, you can speak to that,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: because well, look, I'm as proud of the writing and
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: directing I did on Garden State as I am with
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: my podcast. Do you want to know? I want to know,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I want to know there are another funny story just
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: just while I'm on the subject. So this is the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: story that's a total tangent. But in that same test screening, Now,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: when when you when you test screen a movie in
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: your director you have to go because you have to
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: see where the audience is laughing, where they're board all
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: everything like that. Now, you would never invite an actor
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: who's in the movie to the test screen because there's
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be a focus group actor and you never know
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna say. They might say they don't like
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: that actor. You would never subject an actor to that.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: But as a writer director, you have to be there.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: So there's a focus group in the front row of
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: the movie theater, twenty people lined up. I'm six rows
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: back with my baseball hat down. I don't want to
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: spoil the sampling and have them know that I'm there.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: And a girl raises her hand and the moderator calls
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: on on her and she goes, look, kudos to Zach
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Braff for pulling this off. I just don't find him attractive.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there like fighting my fist,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: like this is the most All the producers are in
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the in the road with me. They all look over
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: at me like, oh, ship, how did that feel? And
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, not great? That that right? There is a hater.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: That's all that is. Look, look she started the ship
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: off with kudos to Zach Braff pulling this off meeting.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: This ship is fired, dude, this ship is fire. But
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: he's an ugly dude. Bullshit, dude. You know it's funny though.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: This is I'm just thinking this out loud in real time.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: But this is before like social media went crazy, and
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: this was sort of a live anonymous troll because she
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: hasn't know I'm in the room and she's anonymously trolling
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: me to the moderator, but I have to be there
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: because I'm the direct toward the movie. How do you whatever,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: How do you guys fix that in the movie? How
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: do you fix it? Bake green screen? Those got more questions? Sorry.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say, you're such a
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: fucking dick egg and be and be. We spent a
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: hundred grand and lessened my nose. We brought my We
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: brought my nose. I thought it was the green screen map. Yeah,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: we we we we we We shot some angles where
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: my nose looked too big and that we wanted to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: please that one fucking woman. All right, sorry, nor Nor,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no problem, Okay, Zach. My next questions for you,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: m Finally, so you've done a lot of like platforms
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: and and a lot of like funny falls throughout the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: life time of the show. Which is your favorite to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: shoot and which is the one that you thought came
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: out best on screen? That's a good question. That's a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: good question. I'm gonna cheat a little, nor Um okay,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: And I mean, can I can the scooter one in
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz? Count Bill, I'll let you judge. Yes, yes,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: just just don't say the string line one where you
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: end up in the garbage stuff. You've said it like
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: twenty times on this podcast. You know why? Nor? Because
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: that I don't know if you know this, but Zack
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: directed that one. Do you know this? You don't even
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: want the Wizard of the religiously and I know? Nor?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Nor are you very funny? First of all?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: And I love the fact that you're you're such an
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: avid listener that you're like, please don't say the one
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: where you zip line because I've heard it. Not. By
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: the way, We're gonna be so funny when we get
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: deeper into this series, because we're only on season two
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: and she's one point five and people are already like,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: please don't tell that story. I can't wait for that episode. Anyway, anyway,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: nor I do love that episode, but I have to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: say the funniest it's tactically not a pratfall, I guess,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: but probably the funniest in Scrubs history. It's what Bill
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: always called our most expensive joke and the history of
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Scrubs is when the scooter goes into the endless puddle
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: in the Wizard of Oz episode where I where I
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: clearly run into Julian the underground manate see who doesn't
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: exchange pleasantries? Um because um, it involved digging two very
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: deep holes. They were very expensive to build because the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: city demanded they'd be built to code for safety, because
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: you can't just throw people in a hole that could collapse.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: And um and as a director of the episode, uh,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: we came up with the idea that it would be
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: a one er, which means we did this elaborate thing
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: where the stunt man is riding the scooter with his
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: with his helmet on into the first puddle. Um. The
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: camera keeps panning. They weren't really connected underground obviously, but
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: it pans to the second pile where I was hiding
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: out underwater. Um and and and and then one of
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the one of the crew members with a hammer as
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: hard as he could banged on the asphalt so I
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: could hear it underground, which meant to pop up um
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: because the camera was on me. And uh. It was
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: very elaborate, and I still think one of the funniest
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: gags we did on Scrubs. Bill, you might want to
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: talk about it. You know why that gag is so
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: funny though, because manatees seemed like the happiest creatures in
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: the ocean, and the fact that the fact that he
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: wouldn't return pleasantries is one of the funniest. He was rude. Wait,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: but Bill, talk about that from the writer's room, because
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: there's no way when you guys thought of that, you
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: could have possibly thought it was going to come out
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: as funny as it did. Because I think when we
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: thought of it, the most fun was Randall Winston, who's
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: been on the show and is you know, it's the
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: closest thing I have to a life partner besides my wife.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: He is the line producer in charge of the budget,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: and he came to us with the first estimates of
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: how much that joke cost. Yes, yes, look at you
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: and uh he uh came to us the first estimates
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: of how much that joke cost, and he said he
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: said it to me in a way that he obviously
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: felt so unfortunately we won't do it. And in my
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: head I was like, yeah, it feels like we should
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: still go for it, you know. And that was only
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: that was only a product of youth, because now I
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: think I would look at it and go, oh man,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: we could have I guess, I don't know, purchased a
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: small home to give to somebody to live in for
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: the price of a joke, you know. But that's that's
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: movie and TV production, is Zach. I want to give
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: you props because Nora asked one of my favorite falls
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: of all time, I ran and we saw it when
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I was searching for this episode. Do you remember what
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: you did when you were singing a song you made up,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: going I'm feeling so good today. You know at that
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: he'll feel good, but nobody it's all So My favorite
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: is that Zack decided to click his heels and because
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: that's very hard to do, and then fall flat on
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: his face and get back up. And I've never seen
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: that was in a wonder as well, and it looks
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: so incredibly painful and so well done. I would vote
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: for that as well. I want you listeners to know
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: that I will do I would do anything to make
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: you guys laugh. I I still go to the chiropractor
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: as often as I can just because of all those years.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you. So I I do it all for my fans.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Nor you gotta bring you gotta bring a question Donald's
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: way now, Oh sorry, don't. I'm gonna be honest with you.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: My favorite pratfall is the one from the episode that
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: Zack directed. I hate to take because of what the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: dude does. It's a stunt man that does it, but
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: after he hits the wall and how he shakes like
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: a fish in the air is one of the funniest
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: things I've ever I remember when he did it and laughed.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: I was there the night that happened. I remember laughing
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: when it happened, and then seeing it on camera and
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: laughing it again at it again. So that's that directed?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: That did you direct? That one's out, by the way,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: I do have to simultaneously give a shout out to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: to the many stuff man that that the several stuff
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: man that did it over the years, because there were
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: certain things I I definitely couldn't do or wasn't allowed
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to do and um, and these guys were hilarious and
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Donald Donald was right. I was not allowed to zip
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: line into the wall and line but you didn't line
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: zip line. I wasn't allowed to nail the wall. What
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: you also weren't allowed to drive an actual scooter that
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: had to be weighted down with lead so that you
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: would stay underwater in the first puddle while we went
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: over to the next puddle and you came up. Think
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: about that that stuntman had to hold his breath for
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: the whole shot, for that whole shot, Yeah, because he
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: had to go under with the scooter and stay under No, well, technically, Bill,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: we panned off of him and then he could. Yeah,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: but not right away, Zach, not right away. But I
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: have to say not to toot my own director horn.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: But how many directors are directing from underwater in a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: puddle where you can only here with a hammer on asphalts? Alright? Alright,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: nor um um we have should we give her one more?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: I have one? I have one more question. This one
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: is predominant because I've always wondered this at what Like
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I said, of what up so many times and I
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to get perspective on this Do you wish that
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: your character had a longer run as a single on
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: the show instead of getting into a committed relationship right
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: off the bat. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I felt for
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: you so much. Yes, you know, I love it. I
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: love it. Donald has tiptoed around it. And Nora is
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: just like, come on, buddy, Beyond is a beautiful woman
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: and the connection that she and I have, the chemistry
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: that she and I have is by far the best
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: chemistry I've ever had with any female on on screen,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: by far. I can. I can go down the list,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: and nobody has ever been on the level that Judy
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: and I were on Uh, Comma, Comma comma. I do, however,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: wish that Turk was a single four A little bit
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: by the way, and to at least season one and two.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Act No, I believe it was a product of youth.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: And I'll say all the same caveats because Judy is
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: so good on the show and so funny and talented.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: But I remember, and I might be making this up
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: in my head, but I remember as writers telling Judy
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: early on that Turk and Carla we're gonna be together
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: for the run of the show, and her being like Oh,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be cool to have a steady relationship, to
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: be the ones that ground it, to explore what that means,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: to meet, get married, stay together, have children, to follow
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: that whole arc. And Donald, who was a young at
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: the time, I do remember kind of telling you that,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: and you're being like really as Amy Smart walks by
• 1:18:11

• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: cat um nor. I don't know too much about cats.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I'm more of a dog person,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: and i've I've I've raised a coup on puppies now,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: so I have some experience with puppies. I do know.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Have you tried now with with puppies. There's a canned

  Speaker 1: air thing that they hate. If you do that canned
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: air noise, They're like, I will never do what you

• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Another thing is a water gun. Um you can sometimes,
• 1:19:40

• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: where you're calling from. I am from Windsor, Ontario, Canada,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: which is a small little city right across from Detroit, Michigan.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: Right it's it's it's near Vancouver. Right, Oh god, no,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: no Winds not Whistler windsor you're from windsor wow, it's
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: is it named after windsor where the windsor castle is?
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: I think so we have a lot of like Southwestern
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: Ontario has a lot of European inspired names, like we
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: have a Paris London windsor uh like all kinds of
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: So if you can't go to Europe, just come to
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: southwestern Ontario. It's not even close to the same thing.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: Are there are the towns just named that? Or is
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: there any sort of monument castoly kind of things? I
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: think they're just named that. To be honest, would you
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: say that you live in the middle of bumble fuck?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: It's not quite bumble fuck, but it had has been
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: called the butthole of Canada just because if you look
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: at the map, the very very very bottom, that's us,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Like we are the southernmost city. We're actually we're a
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: lot more south than like a lot of the northern
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: United States. I never understood that analogy where you call
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: something that's so far south the butt hole, because the
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: butt hole isn't the furthest thing south on your body.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: If it is, if you're if you're sitting, or if
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: you're in the fetal position. Even if you're sitting, your
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: feet are still the furthest thing south if you're in yoga,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: if that yoga position I got happy baby, Well then yes,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: then yes Katie. Now you you are a good editor
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: because you made a very funny video about she cut

  Speaker 1: I mean, don't don't have like cocks flying and everything.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: If they are, have them be hidden behind Wait wait
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: wait wait wait what I'm saying like, be be crazy.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: But if they if someone goes and draws like penises flying,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: we'll have to like blur it. Probably you can't put
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: that in our story or not. Remember mama being two
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: p G not at at all. You're on not being
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: PG at all. Dude. Someone went and put Donald, me
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: and Johnny sees heads on a on a on a
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: gay porn still and um, it's hilarious. I sent it
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: to Donald and Johnny c um word everybody else it's
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: not because it's but Johnny wrote something so back like
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: oh my god. Johnny wrote back something like, oh my god, Zachie,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: what have you done? And I started to think. I
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: started to think that he thought that I made it right,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: like like I always sitting at home on my photoshop.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Katie, do you have another question? Yeah? And
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: I hope it's okay you all. I just thought of
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: this earlier and that's not the one we talked about. Okay, Okay,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: So I this one is a little bit more I
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: guess serious, not really serious. Um. Most shows and like
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of TV shows, most often comedies, they tend
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: to like run beyond their course, so to speak, and
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Scrubs up eight seasons was like perfect, it didn't go
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: too long. So I'm just wondering what the feel on
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: set was for you guys, Like how did you find
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: out that season eight was ending? Like how did they
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: tell you? And like how did that feel filming the
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: last of it? Knowing this is it? Like this is
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: the end? Well, you know. The crazy thing is we
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: never really other than season two and three, we never
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: really knew what our fate was at the end of
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: every season. It wasn't until around you know, right before
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: upfronts where they announced all of the new fall shows,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: that we found out we were coming back for most
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: of the uh time while we were making Scrubs and
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: if you recall, season eight isn't I don't know if
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: you know this, but season eight isn't even on the
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: original network that Scrubs was on. So every year felt like, well,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: this could be it. I hope I get to see
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: you next fall, you know what I mean? Or I
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: go bige to see you in the summer. When it
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: was announced that it was finally over, that season eight
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: was going to be the last episode of Scrubs as
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: we knew it, that was kind of it was kind
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: of like one of those things where you I didn't
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: believe it until, you know what I mean, until it
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: was over, and then there was this long pause in between,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: and then we went and did the The Interns Show.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: But for the longest time, I honestly believed that, yeah, sure,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: this is the last season, but we'll be back next season,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so I you know,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of people talk about how uh emotional they
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: were when we were making the season final, the series finale.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember, Zach, I wasn't necessarily
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: that emotional. Everybody else was really emotional. I still thought
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: we'd be back next season, and believe it or not,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: I was so wrong, but you know, so in doing it,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't as emotional as everybody else was.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Sarah was very emotional. I remember that. I was very emotional,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: but I I feel like I wanted a new chapter
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: of my life. I was so blessed. I mean, I
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: was so clear how lucky we were. I was so
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: blessed for the opportunity and and for how the show
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: changed our life, and for the incredible support we have
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: from this most loyal and amazing fan base. But I
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: think I and Bill would probably say it was time
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: to like try something new. And Scott can speak to
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: this because he's done very long runs on shows, and
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: you kind of go like, this is amazing, and I'm
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: so clear, I'm lucky. Yeah, I do want my life
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: to have other chapters. For me, I wanted to have
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: a family, and and it's very hard. It was hard
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: for me to maintain relationships and build not just romantic
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: relationships but friendships because of the time I spent um
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: in the abandoned hospital, and I I wanted to sort
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: of take that to a new chapter. I wanted to
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: make more movies and and and do more filmmaking. So
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: I felt so grateful and I was so sad, But
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: at the time I felt like I want, I wanted
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: something new to to start. You must have I was
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna ask you, Scott, because Scandal ran
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: a really long time, Felicity had a really nice run,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: the unit had a really nice run, like, all of
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: these shows that you were on, you've experienced, uh ending
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: for a lot of shows. Have all of them gone
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: out on first the terms that you guys wanted it
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: to go out on, and second, how are you feeling
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: when you got to that point. I don't think any
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: of them have gone out on the terms that you
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: want them to go out on. You know, television is
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: the kind of business the television is is is you
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to run forever? Right? Paycheck? Good group of people, um,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think I think everyone from the
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: actors to the writers to the crew is like, oh wow,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: that's I gotta go look for a job now, which
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: is never fun. Um. But I think there is a
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: certain feeling when you've done a hundred plus episodes of
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: a TV show that runs through everybody's head. And I
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: think everybody has some similar feeling, which is this has
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: been great. If this keeps going, is this all I'm
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: going to do? And that's not necessarily a bad thing,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: but I want to try something else. But there is
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: also like I'm not done with it yet, you know,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: like because ultimately it's not us. With the exception scandal,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: Shonda Rhymes was the person who said, the show is done.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to write anymore. The show has had
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: a great arc and the characters I've told the stories
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: I want to tell, and that's it. I think had
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: the network had their way, the show would have gone
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: on for another ten years because it was doing so well.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: Um but but it's always Katie. It's always um sad.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: And you know, these are people that you you get
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: to know really well. And you guys can speak to
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: this as well. You become really close there your family,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: You see them more than you do your friends. All
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: my friends know that. When I'm on a TV show,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: I disappear for nine months and it's you know, it's
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: kind of who I am and what you gotta do
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: with It's an amazing um uh, you're so lucky to
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: have it happen, but you do sacrifice a bunch of things,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: um like I can. That's coming as a guy who
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't have children yet like these guys too. I mean,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: Donald had to go on his last show and be
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: in Jersey City with his family in Los Angeles and
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: being hard from his kids for that long, and that
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: was really really really hard on on everybody except for
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: his wife. Yeah, she was so happy. I was gone.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: She was cranking. Don't stop believing. I came back home
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: and my wife was like, oh, no, that's not how
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: we do that. Like I did one thing, She's like, no,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: that's not how we do things here. That's brutal. Yeah, brutal.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: It happens to me too. Who do you what do
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: you think you're doing? This is how we do it. Now.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: I had to go through the crash course of how
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: to live in my own house. It was, oh, that's
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: not how we do think that. My mom is a
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: as a psychologist and has done a lot of marriage counseling,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: and she said, one of the most common things couples
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: fight about is how to load the dishwasher. What right,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have that problem. I don't that problem because
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: you don't do it. I thought the dishwashing she was
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: just giving. She was an examing example of like thing
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: that couples argue about, and then a big one. You're
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: not supposed to tell you. That's exactly right, Scott. You're
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: not supposed to tell anybody how to do If you
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: tell me how to do it, I'll stop doing it. Right,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm gonna keep going, right, Oh no,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: that's not how you put the trash can in the
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: trash the trash bag in the trash can. All right,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: didn't you do the ship? Then you got it? That's
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: what I thought. You got it. You got it. Cut
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: to Donald being like, yes, we heard hold over the corners.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Katie, it's time for Canada's favorite segment. It's
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: time to wait, hold on, let's do it again, Katie,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: It's time to fix your Sorry if the baby was latching. Uh, Katie,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: We we really really have are transforming the world with
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: this second. We're transforming every little corner. Oprah doesn't have
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: shit on us. Why because we are really helping way
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: more than she ever did on her little show. Well,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to know that Joel
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: just looked away and rolled their eyes. That was that?
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: Was that? That? That is not my opinion of it either.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: So please don't I love that you guys think that
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: Oprah is listening and writing your names on a list
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: of people that not hang out with. Listen. You have
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: both Donald and you are like listen, Oprah. In case
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: you're listening, that is not me. Sorry, listen, Joel, you
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: gotta let him think he's Opra because then we might
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: all get a car. Yes. Oh, by the way, we
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: are going to give a special treat out today, I
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: think Joel. Right, yes, okay, we'll save that from the end. Um,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: all right, Katie, go ahead, it's better than that. All right, Katie,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: go ahead with or questioned. Okay, so I did think
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: of something. I was racking my brain because I mean,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like an asshole. But I'm
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: very blessed. My life's pretty great right now. But I
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: do welcome Katie just fixed. That's the shortest segment we
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: ever did. Good work. Uh No, it's a rare opportunity
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: for you guys to fix my future life because um,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: I'm getting married next year, thank you. And it actually
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: it's in California, so you guys can all come through.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: We'll be there. You invite me, Invite me as long
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: as the bouze is free. Invite me. You are all invited.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: You can carry me down the aisle. I don't want
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: to do all that I didn't want. I don't want
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: to be I don't I don't want to do manual labor,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: the flower girl, throw the flowers. I just want to
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: be there. I just want to be there. I want
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: to be there, have a drink and leave. Okay, that's fine,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: we can do that. So my question to you guys,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: and like all all of you would just be how
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: like what would your advice be to me? To just
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: be like the best possible partner I can be to
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: my fiance. Um, she is the most amazing person ever.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: She's my best friend. She's so beautiful and I just
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: want to make her happy forever. Oh God, I will say,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one thing and one thing only, alright,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: But a taf patience is so important. That is the
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: most important thing you can have. My wife has the
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: most patience out of anybody I've ever met in my life,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: because if I had to deal with someone like me,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: I would freaking not I leave me. I would leave
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: me if I had to deal with me. And so
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: my wife is one of the most patient people on
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: the planet and loves me unconditionally. And if you got
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: that in you, there's nothing that can be done. Well,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that, there's very little that could be
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: done to ruin your relationship. My wife's tolerance of my
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: bullshit is what keeps our relationship a fluid all right,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: Scott Fully, you are married with children in a successful relationship.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: What's your advice, Oh, man, Uh, I think patience is
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: a good one. I would I would urge you to
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: listen to not just what they're saying, but how your
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: fiance is saying it and why they're saying it. You
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: know why. I found, uh, through uh much trial and
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: error that when my wife is telling me something or
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: angry at something or or frustrated about something, uh, listening
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: to that and not it's the hardest thing for me.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: Not trying to fix it, um, which a lot of
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: men try to do. And you don't seem to have
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: that problem, I don't think, um. But but just listening
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: and um and not try to fix whatever the problem
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: might be is sometimes the best way to go because
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of the times my wife doesn't want me
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: to fix it, or it's it's not fixable. Um, it's
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: just a matter of being there for someone. UM. I'm
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: not married. But one thing I think really helps me
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: when I'm communicating in relationships, and this goes for not
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: just from any relationship, not just romantic relationships, is being
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: able to admit when you're wrong. I think people automatically
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: as human beings. We shift into defend what you did
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: at all costs, and there's so much power in being
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: able to take responsibility and truly listening to the person
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: and it might not be, uh, what you intended, it
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: may not have been what you thought you said, but
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: whatever it is that had them because of the way
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: they experienced it, you can go. There's so much power
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: I have found being able to go, Okay, I'm just
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: giving you a random example that is certainly not what
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: I intended, and I'm very sorry that that that made
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: you feel that way, and I apologize if that's if
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: that's how it came across, just being able to stop
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: and go, stop defending and stop trying to be right,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: and being able to say, Okay, I've digested what you're saying.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: I certainly didn't intend it that way or whatever it is.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, picking an example and then being
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: able to take responsibility I think is a very very
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: powerful tool in all of your relationships. Now, Zach, I
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: have a question for you. Are you able to do
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: that without then going what I meant was and you know, like,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's a problem for me. No, I think
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: I well, I think you know because I usually I'm
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: usually the guy like, look, I did not wow that
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: that did not you took that the wrong way, and
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm so sorry if it came out that way.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: What I meant to say was the way you fucking
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: put that goddamndition that Yeah, I'm about to say, because
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: what if you meant that ship when you said it's
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: good thing? You know what I mean? A lot of
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: times a lot of times, you know, if your partner
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: gets upset, you certainly didn't intend to hurt their feelings
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: or for them to get upset. That's not that's not
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: a normal person's intentions. Of course it happens. So what
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: happened there was a miscommunication or there was a sensitivity
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: on one of the people's part um. And I think
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: we get stuck in argument loops because both people are
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: trying to be right and if if if you can
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: go um, if you can both go like, okay, I
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. I'm you know. Also, I think
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't feel hurt. They're like, I'm
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: speaking in fucking circles because you're not hearing me. There's
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of power in saying I do hear you.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: You're saying this, that's not what I intended. Um, I
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: apologize for coming across like that. Here's what I meant
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: to say, not in the aggressive, jokey way that Scott saying,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: but saying in a way like this is truly what
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: I meant. I'm not saying it's going to solve all arguments,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: but I think it's a very sort of peaceful way
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: to have a conversation. I think there's one other thing
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: you mentioned in that There's act that's so important to
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: remember is that when you're with someone, you're with them
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: because you love them and you want to be with them,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: and never ever do you intend to hurt that person
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: or hurt their feelings. But it does happen, and you
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: just have to remember that neither one of you wants
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: to hurt the other. Right. Yeah, the other thing, I'll
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: give you what my therapist told me to read a
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: book that I haven't read yet, so I can't vouch
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: for it, but it's called Getting the Love You Want,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: and I know it's about it's a very popular sort
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: of couples conversation book, So Katie, you can read that.
• 1:49:50
