- 2:15Speaker 4: a great show.

- 2:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't take too or pick up from airport
- 2:43Speaker 2: as a rule.
- 2:45Speaker 1: By Okay, I did it. I did it quite a
- 2:48Speaker 1: bit when Casey and I first started data. Now I'm like,
- 2:50Speaker 1: you know what, I'll get you a car service.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be so much. I'd rather get you a

- 3:04Speaker 2: She really finds it rude. So I'm gonna I have
- 3:08Speaker 2: a feeling it's going to be changing because she thinks
- 3:10Speaker 2: that it's bullshit.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I'm telling you, once you stop doing it, she's gonna
- 3:14Speaker 1: ask you, how come you never take me to the
- 3:15Speaker 1: airport anymore?
- 3:16Speaker 2: I know? But see, LAX is so fucking far. I mean,
- 3:19Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of listeners may live closer to
- 3:22Speaker 2: their airport than we do. It takes like over an
- 3:25Speaker 2: hour to get to LAX. It's a lot. It's a
- 3:27Speaker 2: mission every time, and then you have.
- 3:28Speaker 3: To deal with the traffic of that long circle around.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Hell, you know what you do, I'm gonna give everyone
- 3:32Speaker 2: a little Well, I shouldn't give my secret never mind. Sorry, No,
- 3:37Speaker 2: I was gonna give you. I was gonna give I
- 3:40Speaker 2: was going to I was going to give people of
- 3:42Speaker 2: LA a life hack, But now I don't know if
- 3:44Speaker 2: I should because they're all going to steal it and
- 3:45Speaker 2: use it.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Listen, just do it. You'll be a hero if you
- 3:50Speaker 1: do it.
- 3:50Speaker 2: All right, you guys, don't tell anyone. I know that
- 3:53Speaker 2: there's a preposterous amount of people listening right now, But
- 3:55Speaker 2: don't tell anyone. This is just for you. Do not
- 3:58Speaker 2: tell your friends when you live in l A. If
- 4:02Speaker 2: you live in a life you don't live in LA
- 4:03Speaker 2: and you come here, you're not allowed to do this ship.
- 4:05Speaker 1: This is LA.
- 4:07Speaker 2: You go when you're dropping off. You go to arrivals,
- 4:12Speaker 2: not departures. There's never nearly as long a line at arrivals, brilliant,
- 4:18Speaker 2: and all you got to do is take the escalator
- 4:21Speaker 2: up or down whatever it is. M Now, I regret
- 4:25Speaker 2: telling everyone that.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Are you a genius?
- 4:26Speaker 5: Sack?
- 4:28Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on.
- 4:29Speaker 2: I regret this already. It's a mistake. It's a mistake.
- 4:32Speaker 2: My life hack is ruined. Now.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people already knew this life.
- 4:37Speaker 2: No, they don't. You don't do it, did you know it?
- 4:40Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely? And when you get picked up you go upstairs.
- 4:43Speaker 2: To freaking departure. Yep, yep.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I never doub.
- 4:50Speaker 4: It was such a problem that Uber won't let you
- 4:52Speaker 4: do it anymore. You can say, hey, will you drop
- 4:54Speaker 4: me off at arrivals, They'll say, no, we can't do that.
- 4:55Speaker 4: They're gonna give us a ticket if we do that.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know. It was like a ticketed things.
- 5:00Speaker 2: So don't get in trouble because of me.
- 5:01Speaker 4: But only only ubers get ticketed. Only ubers get ticket
- 5:04Speaker 4: it if you're driving, if you were if you're doing
- 5:05Speaker 4: a service for a friend. That's a really good life hack.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Oh okay, there you go. Life hack everybody always when
- 5:10Speaker 2: you do it, I want you when you do it
- 5:12Speaker 2: and it goes smoothly, I want you to smile and
- 5:14Speaker 2: think of me.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Should we get into the show.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Well, we have a very special guest today, Donald.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I know, I'm really excited about it. That's why I
- 5:22Speaker 1: want to get into that.
- 5:23Speaker 2: I can see that you're all geeked out. We never
- 5:27Speaker 2: thought Ken Jenkins would would come on the show, not
- 5:30Speaker 2: because he's difficult in anyway. I just didn't know if
- 5:32Speaker 2: he'd know how to do the zoom and the recording
- 5:35Speaker 2: and all of that. But we're so lucky that his
- 5:37Speaker 2: son helped him navigate it all and and and and
- 5:42Speaker 2: as he here, Dan, is he ready to come in
- 5:44Speaker 2: the room, ready to go? I'm kind of nervous, Dole.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I haven't seen him in a long time.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Last time I saw him was when
- 5:50Speaker 1: we did that thing at UH at the Roosevelt Hotel.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Yeah where I also where doesn't he have no kids?
- 6:00Speaker 1: Happened also in the same in the same at the
- 6:03Speaker 1: same beIN not the same venue, but the same.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Same building building. Doesn't he have like nine kids? Casey
- 6:09Speaker 2: said that about Donald in the bar which was at
- 6:12Speaker 2: the time was called Teddy's and I think it still is.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And then we had sort of a Scrubs reunion event
- 6:19Speaker 2: for what was it for?
- 6:20Speaker 1: I don't even remember, I don't know.
- 6:22Speaker 2: And and we were all there, same building, same building.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I love that bowling alley in the room.
- 6:27Speaker 2: There's a cool little bowling alley. Do you ever visit
- 6:29Speaker 2: la just after you've arrived at the airport and driven
- 6:32Speaker 2: an hour? Are we gonna ask him about Ganja or
- 6:36Speaker 2: if you're not bringing that up.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I mean, I think I feel like we can ask
- 6:40Speaker 1: about it. If he doesn't want to talk about it,
- 6:42Speaker 1: we don't. He doesn't have to talk about it.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I know, but I mean, I'm just one wanted to
- 6:46Speaker 2: just pregame with you if we're going to bring up
- 6:47Speaker 2: his love of Ganja.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I'm just saying, man, he gave me a Kodak Remember
- 6:51Speaker 1: when Kodak film used to come in those little cases.
- 6:54Speaker 2: The black canister thing.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave me a canister full of seeds once,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and it was like when you plant beds now and
- 7:02Speaker 1: I didn't plant them, and I look for this Kodak
- 7:06Speaker 1: thing at somewhere lost in all of the moon.
- 7:09Speaker 2: They're still going to grow.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But still, dude, they were like a lot of seeds,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and he was like, you gotta plant them all. But
- 7:15Speaker 1: I was like, you gotta explain. Wait, Dan's eyes got
- 7:17Speaker 1: really big, Dan, will they still grow?
- 7:21Speaker 2: A trivia question I want answered is who was high
- 7:25Speaker 2: more often on set? Donaldson or Ken Jenkins.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I bet you it's Ken Jenkins.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to the videotape.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, here we go away five, six, seven, eight, stories.
- 7:37Speaker 6: I'm not sure. We made about a bunch of dogs
- 7:41Speaker 6: and nurses, and I said, he's a story next.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So YadA here, yead.

- 8:25Speaker 2: We're so glad you're doing this. Ken. We really miss
- 8:27Speaker 2: you and we really wanted to have you on the show.
- 8:30Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you asked me. I'm glad to be here.
- 8:33Speaker 5: What's that Donald's got all over his face?
- 8:35Speaker 1: This is hair?
- 8:37Speaker 5: You know.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I couldn't grow it, just hair.
- 8:43Speaker 5: That looks great.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Thank you. It took me all pandemic to grow this.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Now listen, does that help your ball game?
- 8:51Speaker 1: No? My ball game is not existent now I'm not
- 8:54Speaker 1: playing golf. My golf game. It helps tremendously.
- 8:57Speaker 5: I bet you're a wonderful golfer.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I'm all right, I'm all right. I'm getting the hang
- 9:04Speaker 1: of it now. You know what I mean?
- 9:05Speaker 2: You got pretty good. You went from zero to hero.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I mean when I first saw you play, we were
- 9:10Speaker 2: together and neither one of us knew what the hell
- 9:11Speaker 2: we were doing. And then you got what's your handicap?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Isn't that what you ask someone?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Yeah? My handicaps now is seven point nine.
- 9:18Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
- 9:19Speaker 5: That's realistic.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I can at municipal courses. I
- 9:24Speaker 1: should say, when we go country club and play country
- 9:27Speaker 1: club golf, it jumps up, you know, quite a bit.
- 9:30Speaker 1: But for municipal golf courses so far, seven point nine.
- 9:35Speaker 5: That's wonderful.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Good for you, Thank you now you were you a golfer?
- 9:39Speaker 5: I never played golf in my life until we did
- 9:42Speaker 5: that episode out there on the Hill.
- 9:44Speaker 2: And Ken, you looked good on that episode. Donald and
- 9:46Speaker 2: I were talking about how you look like you knew
- 9:47Speaker 2: what you were doing.
- 9:48Speaker 5: You know, that's what they call it acting.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Because I told Donald, I said, when I did it,
- 9:58Speaker 2: I could not do it. Edited me together. But we
- 10:01Speaker 2: were talking about Johnny c is a golfer, and he
- 10:03Speaker 2: of course looked great, but we were like, Ken, looks
- 10:05Speaker 2: like he knew what he was doing.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Total fraud, fraud.
- 10:10Speaker 1: You sold the hell out of it.
- 10:13Speaker 2: How are you?
- 10:13Speaker 3: How?
- 10:13Speaker 2: How are you doing in this crazy time when we're
- 10:16Speaker 2: all trapped in our houses? How are you holding up well?
- 10:19Speaker 5: We're doing great, Catherine and I say, our lives inside
- 10:22Speaker 5: didn't change very much. We were doing a lot, and
- 10:27Speaker 5: we embarked on reading books to each other, books that
- 10:32Speaker 5: we had said we'd read, and then you'd ask a
- 10:34Speaker 5: question like, yeah, well what do you remember about it?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Nothing?
- 10:40Speaker 5: So we started reading big books. Vanity Fair. Now seven
- 10:47Speaker 5: hundred pages of Vanity Fair.
- 10:48Speaker 2: And you read it out loud to each other.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And now we're seven eighths of the way through.
- 10:54Speaker 5: Moby Dick and I think we're only four people in
- 10:58Speaker 5: the world have ever read it out loud of each other,
- 11:01Speaker 5: and we're about to finish it.
- 11:03Speaker 2: I think that's very romantic.
- 11:05Speaker 1: That's a big book, Moby Dick.
- 11:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I use it as a step leader when I'm
- 11:09Speaker 5: not really.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Ken You've always been You've always struck me as a romantic.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Well I'm romantic, yeah, I mean I used to be.
- 11:22Speaker 5: Now it's just a lot more passive.
- 11:24Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because in the in the episode,
- 11:30Speaker 2: I was trying to think as I was watching this episode,
- 11:34Speaker 2: you know, it feels like in some episodes Kelso is
- 11:36Speaker 2: so smitten and in love with Enid, his his wife,
- 11:39Speaker 2: and then in other episodes he's so dismisses of her.
- 11:42Speaker 2: You know, it goes back and forth. There's episodes where
- 11:45Speaker 2: he's just like singing old love songs he used to
- 11:47Speaker 2: sing to her, and then there's other episodes where he's
- 11:50Speaker 2: just like, oh, she drives me crazy. I can't stand Enid.
- 11:53Speaker 2: I wonder if you thought what you thought about if Kelso,
- 11:56Speaker 2: what his feelings for Enid were.
- 11:58Speaker 5: You know, it's funny, isn't that you watching the show
- 12:01Speaker 5: develop over all the years, and Bill would say over here, well,
- 12:05Speaker 5: we're going to give you a real life can don't
- 12:07Speaker 5: worry man, So you never knew what to play is
- 12:14Speaker 5: how do you feel about the wife? And I don't know.
- 12:18Speaker 5: I think it was very complex that we had developed.
- 12:20Speaker 5: It was very complex, but he had aside. The one
- 12:24Speaker 5: time I thought we really got into what Kelso felt
- 12:28Speaker 5: about love was when Nurse Roberts died and there's that
- 12:33Speaker 5: moment when I'm in the room with her and I
- 12:38Speaker 5: think you're looking through the glass and I just bend
- 12:41Speaker 5: over and give her this tiny little kiss, and you
- 12:46Speaker 5: knew there was something there that but all the wise
- 12:50Speaker 5: cracking and then this episode we're doing today, the smart
- 12:54Speaker 5: ass stuff that beneath all that there was something really
- 12:58Speaker 5: deep and human, wonderful bonding.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I was going to ask you that, did you think
- 13:03Speaker 1: Kelso at one point? I mean, it's clear that he
- 13:06Speaker 1: obviously was a really great doctor. To get the chief
- 13:11Speaker 1: of medicine job, he had to not only be at
- 13:14Speaker 1: the hospital for a while, but he had to do
- 13:15Speaker 1: good work. You don't get that job just because of
- 13:18Speaker 1: being there for a long time. Do you think somewhere
- 13:21Speaker 1: along the line Kelso was broken and that's why he
- 13:24Speaker 1: became the ballbuster and and someone who was just all
- 13:33Speaker 1: about insurance and that was it. Do you think at
- 13:35Speaker 1: some point, you know Kelso was like, you know what,
- 13:39Speaker 1: everything that I've been doing? Because you're right, he does
- 13:41Speaker 1: have so many lovable moments throughout the series. Yeah, you
- 13:46Speaker 1: know the Tuscaloosa Heart episode where he's singing to his
- 13:51Speaker 1: the love of his life and it turns out to
- 13:53Speaker 1: be Enid. You know the fact that he's definitely willing
- 13:58Speaker 1: to give out rewards and stuff like that. He just
- 14:03Speaker 1: doesn't want everybody to come and ask him over and
- 14:05Speaker 1: over again for things. So I'm asking, at some point,
- 14:08Speaker 1: do you think he was broken?
- 14:11Speaker 5: I don't know about that, but I think what he
- 14:15Speaker 5: did learn, as all doctors seem to learn, and especially
- 14:19Speaker 5: right now in all this COVID mess, what what the
- 14:22Speaker 5: what they have to see daily, and the front line
- 14:25Speaker 5: workers have to see daily. What they have to do
- 14:29Speaker 5: is put their feelings somewhere else, uh and and and
- 14:33Speaker 5: go on with the job. And I think in Kelso's
- 14:37Speaker 5: position as an administrator, what happens with your feelings is
- 14:41Speaker 5: you crust them over. You just develop a rind on
- 14:45Speaker 5: the outside of it. Someone dies and you go on.
- 14:49Speaker 5: Another person dies and you go on because you have
- 14:54Speaker 5: to keep going there.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Someone, someone in his someone in his position, you think,
- 14:58Speaker 2: has to just develop a rhyme, like you said, in
- 15:01Speaker 2: order to try and run that place. Especially you know,
- 15:04Speaker 2: keep in mind that Sacred Heart was meant to be
- 15:07Speaker 2: a poorer city hospital that didn't have a lot of resources.
- 15:10Speaker 2: So he, you know, in his defense, he was trying
- 15:13Speaker 2: to keep the doors open to the place.
- 15:14Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, yeah, I think that's I think that's right.
- 15:18Speaker 5: And I'm sure you're right Donald, in the sense that
- 15:22Speaker 5: he was probably idealistic in the same way Turk and
- 15:25Speaker 5: JD are idealistic. They're young, they have a mission, they
- 15:28Speaker 5: think well of themselves. They're looking at their future. Glso
- 15:32Speaker 5: was young once. Yeah, hundred years ago.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Hey, Ken, I wanted to say that you Bill wrote
- 15:39Speaker 2: you sort of one note in the beginning. You know,
- 15:41Speaker 2: if you look at the pilot, he's just sort of
- 15:43Speaker 2: like the bad guy. He literally has like the blood,
- 15:46Speaker 2: the blood, red eyes, and there's a devil. And then
- 15:50Speaker 2: and then as we're seeing now come and and you
- 15:52Speaker 2: played it so wonderfully, Ken, you're just you're so you're
- 15:55Speaker 2: so amazing, You're so funny, and you're so wonderful. And
- 15:58Speaker 2: but my point was that now in season two, which
- 16:01Speaker 2: we just started, you're getting to see where Bill really
- 16:04Speaker 2: starts to start to give him lots more layers. I think, yeah,
- 16:09Speaker 2: didn't you feel that way. I felt like in season
- 16:11Speaker 2: one there was so much to tackle, and of course
- 16:13Speaker 2: they're setting up the young, the young wide eyed interns
- 16:15Speaker 2: and their relationships and everything, and Kelsa was just like
- 16:19Speaker 2: the bad guy. And now I start to see and
- 16:20Speaker 2: of course I know that this goes throughout the nine
- 16:23Speaker 2: years that you really start to see it developed.
- 16:28Speaker 5: I didn't remember that it happened this soon. My memory
- 16:32Speaker 5: of season one is being God, I'm over the top
- 16:35Speaker 5: on every scene I'm doing. I hated it. I hated
- 16:40Speaker 5: everything I was doing. I thought the timing was all right,
- 16:43Speaker 5: but I thought it's just a thousand times too much.
- 16:47Speaker 5: Can't you pull back? No? I can't. I can't. I
- 16:50Speaker 5: don't know where else to go. And I looked at
- 16:52Speaker 5: this episode and I went, this is just the beginning
- 16:56Speaker 5: of season two and everybody is back in another deep,
- 17:01Speaker 5: wonderful groove. This is an incredibly good episode.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it really is.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Ken. That's why that's one of the reasons we want
- 17:08Speaker 2: to have you on, because not only is it a
- 17:11Speaker 2: really really good one, but you have so much fun
- 17:14Speaker 2: stuff to play in this one, and uh and I
- 17:16Speaker 2: want We were excited to talk to you about all
- 17:18Speaker 2: of it. But before we dive into the episode itself.
- 17:21Speaker 2: You know, Ken, we've had every other one of the
- 17:23Speaker 2: leads on the podcast so far, and we always kind
- 17:27Speaker 2: of start with telling that people excuse me, we always
- 17:31Speaker 2: ask everyone their their audition story, how they how they
- 17:33Speaker 2: came about to be on Scrubs. Do you recall like
- 17:36Speaker 2: how that all, how that transpired, what your audition process
- 17:39Speaker 2: was like for the show.
- 17:41Speaker 5: I don't know it was. You go in, you do auditions,
- 17:44Speaker 5: you know. And and this one I went in and
- 17:46Speaker 5: there were two or three guys I know who were
- 17:49Speaker 5: out there who are all terrific actors. And you ever
- 17:52Speaker 5: think you've got to get apart, you know, feel well,
- 17:53Speaker 5: this is my part. Uh. But I went in and
- 17:57Speaker 5: read and Bill was standing over in the back and
- 18:02Speaker 5: he laughed, and I thought, well, that's a generous thing
- 18:05Speaker 5: for him to do. He's helping out in the audition.
- 18:09Speaker 5: That was really nice to him. And I went away
- 18:10Speaker 5: feeling that was really nice. And then when I went
- 18:13Speaker 5: in the second time, he was there and he laughed again,
- 18:16Speaker 5: only bigger, and I thought, oh, I got a chance
- 18:21Speaker 5: at this. Yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 2: You start to get excited, right, yeah.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You do.
- 18:29Speaker 5: And then the the journey in my mind was, uh,
- 18:35Speaker 5: you you have a good audition, you get the part.
- 18:37Speaker 5: And then that first episode I looked at it the
- 18:40Speaker 5: pilot and I thought, man, he should fire me. This
- 18:43Speaker 5: is really awful, spinning round and round.
- 18:47Speaker 2: But you didn't. That was that was written you. That
- 18:49Speaker 2: wasn't your acting. I thought, I thought you were great
- 18:51Speaker 2: in the pilot. Did you not? Did you not like
- 18:53Speaker 2: your performance in the pilot?
- 18:54Speaker 5: I hated it, but somebody gave me a wonderful out.
- 18:58Speaker 5: They said, Ken, all that over the top step you
- 19:00Speaker 5: were obviously doing in season one, that's just the way
- 19:06Speaker 5: j D was seeing you. Oh and then as he
- 19:10Speaker 5: saw you multi dimensional the way you see Cox in
- 19:15Speaker 5: this episode. That's a wonderful scene with Cox. I want
- 19:20Speaker 5: to be just like you, only more successful. That scene
- 19:23Speaker 5: is brilliant. What a good scene. And you guys are
- 19:27Speaker 5: so good. You kill that scene. It's wonderful.
- 19:29Speaker 2: And when you give me compliments, I have to tell
- 19:31Speaker 2: you it's a special place in my heart. It means
- 19:33Speaker 2: so much to me because I respect you so much
- 19:36Speaker 2: as as an actor. And you may have thought you
- 19:39Speaker 2: were you were broad, and perhaps the part called for that,
- 19:42Speaker 2: particularly early on, but I want you to know, and
- 19:44Speaker 2: I'm sure Donald agrees that we really just admired and
- 19:47Speaker 2: looked up to you for this entire experience.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's take a break.
- 19:51Speaker 2: We'll be right back after these fine words.
- 20:00Speaker 1: You know, Ken, I'm looking at your I AMD I
- 20:03Speaker 1: guess you're Google. I googled you and holy shit, dude,
- 20:06Speaker 1: you've been in so many movies. Man, Oh my god, dude.
- 20:11Speaker 5: Somebody told me if you want good residuals, get small
- 20:15Speaker 5: parts and big movies.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good technique. I hear that, that's true.
- 20:21Speaker 1: I remember when we were doing Scrubs and I guess
- 20:25Speaker 1: it was its Courage under Fire, Am I correct? Yeah,
- 20:28Speaker 1: And I remember seeing it and we had already started shooting,
- 20:33Speaker 1: and I finally saw the movie and you're in the
- 20:35Speaker 1: movie with the scene with Denzel Washington and you two
- 20:38Speaker 1: are having dialogue and everything like that. And that was
- 20:40Speaker 1: when I first realized. I was like, oh, snap, Ken
- 20:42Speaker 1: had a life well before Scrubs.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Ki things.
- 20:47Speaker 2: You thought Scrubs was Ken's first job.
- 20:49Speaker 1: No, I didn't think that, but I, you know, I was.
- 20:52Speaker 1: I'm a you know, dumb, naive actor who's all about
- 20:55Speaker 1: himself and everything like that. And that's when the world really,
- 20:57Speaker 1: you know, the world started opening up when I started
- 20:59Speaker 1: doing and realizing that, Wow, people, I'm not you know,
- 21:02Speaker 1: it's not just me. There's other people involved in this
- 21:04Speaker 1: whole situation and Ken, Holy.
- 21:06Speaker 5: Cow, Well we all feel like that, don't we. It's
- 21:10Speaker 5: natural you look at a script and what does any
- 21:14Speaker 5: any actor do when he looks at the script. We
- 21:16Speaker 5: all know this joke, You're start leaping through the script. Bullshit,
- 21:20Speaker 5: bullshit my line, right?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you have been blessed though, Ken, that to
- 21:28Speaker 2: have just an incredible amount of work that you've done
- 21:31Speaker 2: over the years.
- 21:32Speaker 5: It's just luck. It's just a numbers game. You learn
- 21:35Speaker 5: the words, you don't trip over the furniture, and you're
- 21:37Speaker 5: going to get some of them. That's all.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Well, I think you're being modest.
- 21:41Speaker 5: I think now I'm not going to be modest. I
- 21:42Speaker 5: think I'm very good in this episode. I think it's
- 21:48Speaker 5: very smart. If you're to have me for this episode.
- 21:51Speaker 2: You are. Let's get into it. Let's get into it.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I wanted to say Donald, first of all, Cat, I
- 21:56Speaker 2: have a funny memory of I don't know if you
- 21:58Speaker 2: guys have this thing in your life where someone tells
- 22:02Speaker 2: you an anecdote about a specific thing, and then every
- 22:04Speaker 2: time you think of that thing, you think of the person. Yeah,
- 22:07Speaker 2: and and one of mine is you Ken. When we
- 22:09Speaker 2: when we first all started making some real money, I
- 22:13Speaker 2: said to you, Ken, are you splurging on anything? Are
- 22:17Speaker 2: you are you treating yourself to to anything fun? And
- 22:22Speaker 2: you said something to the effect of not really, but
- 22:25Speaker 2: I have noticed that I am. I'm I'm changing my
- 22:28Speaker 2: razor blade a bit more frequently. And I thought that
- 22:37Speaker 2: was so humble and sweet and every and now when
- 22:40Speaker 2: I'm when I'm I'm looking at my razor blade, I go,
- 22:42Speaker 2: damn it. When was the last time I changed this?
- 22:44Speaker 2: I probably should I always think of you.
- 22:49Speaker 5: That's funny, Zach, that's funny.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Well, don't be, don't be. I want you to know
- 22:57Speaker 2: that I changed my way more frequently because of Ken Jenkins.
- 23:00Speaker 2: So Donald had braces on Ken. I don't know if
- 23:03Speaker 2: you recall this, but he he decided to get braces
- 23:07Speaker 2: on the inside of his teeth for season two. And
- 23:11Speaker 2: we've been discussing in other episode's whether or not you
- 23:13Speaker 2: can hear him lisp or not. Because Bill eventually told
- 23:17Speaker 2: him to take the damn things off. This episode could
- 23:20Speaker 2: be called the lisper.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't even my mouth is even
- 23:25Speaker 1: like you can't talk, no, not at all. Well, at
- 23:28Speaker 1: this point it was brought to my attention, Bill's gonna
- 23:31Speaker 1: tell you to take the braces off. And I was like,
- 23:32Speaker 1: oh no, how am I gonna? I gotta, I gotta,
- 23:34Speaker 1: I gotta enunciate my words a little bit better.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I got made it worse.
- 23:38Speaker 1: You made it made it so much worse. What what
- 23:42Speaker 1: I missed?
- 23:42Speaker 5: This whole thing.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Well, Ken, you weren't looking out for it. I'm sure
- 23:45Speaker 2: if you weren't looking out for it, you perhaps wouldn't
- 23:47Speaker 2: notice it. But it's on our minds because we've been
- 23:50Speaker 2: talking about whether or not we can hear it, and
- 23:52Speaker 2: I haven't noticed that. Donald, To be honest, I were
- 23:54Speaker 2: I wonder if what you're saying is true that you said,
- 23:56Speaker 2: oh I have to over annunc he, I'd have to
- 23:58Speaker 2: compensate or something. To me, it was like it sounded
- 24:02Speaker 2: like you had something in your mouth.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was brace's.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Wow, you mean in that scene where you asked me
- 24:09Speaker 5: for the thing you have braces yet?
- 24:11Speaker 1: Absolutely?
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yes, Oh yeah, oh it's like client.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Is anywhere I.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Could you know, here's that subjectivity thing, right? I never
- 24:24Speaker 5: noticed that.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Man.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Oh wait, we've forgotten. Sorry, we have to backtrack a
- 24:29Speaker 2: tiny bit to do our new segment where Donald Ken
- 24:33Speaker 2: Donald tries to sum up the whole episode in thirty seconds.
- 24:37Speaker 2: We've had some people, We've had some people who are
- 24:40Speaker 2: listening who aren't necessarily watching the show along with the podcast,
- 24:44Speaker 2: and they've asked us if if we could quickly sum
- 24:46Speaker 2: up the episode. So, Donald, are you ready?
- 24:48Speaker 1: Well? I just want to say one thing. There's a
- 24:50Speaker 1: lot going on in this episode.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Well, this is your second time doing this or are
- 24:54Speaker 2: you already afraid of the assignment?
- 24:56Speaker 1: No, let's go.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Okay, ready, We're gonna have thirty seconds on the clock
- 25:00Speaker 2: and go.
- 25:01Speaker 1: We start off this episode with Kelso challenging all of
- 25:04Speaker 1: the medical interns to come up with an interesting patient
- 25:08Speaker 1: for the AMA conference. That sets the hospital a blaze.
- 25:11Speaker 1: It causes friction between John C. Mcginley's character and Zach's
- 25:15Speaker 1: character in the movie, Sarah and Judy, their characters don't
- 25:19Speaker 1: know if they really get along, and Turk wants a laser.
- 25:21Speaker 1: At the end of the episode, we find out that
- 25:23Speaker 1: doctor Kelso is a sweetheart and will actually grant you
- 25:27Speaker 1: a wish if you come to him secretly. That being said,
- 25:31Speaker 1: that's my second.
- 25:34Speaker 2: You got most of it. You got most of it.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Most of it. Now. Look, well here's the thing though,
- 25:41Speaker 1: it's hard to get into the most important part of
- 25:44Speaker 1: the show, and that's Kelso turning into the biggest sweetheart
- 25:51Speaker 1: by choice. Yes, once every year.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Yes, but this year three seconds are over, so I
- 25:58Speaker 2: don't know. Is this the uh right?
- 26:01Speaker 1: This is the prologue? The prologue, The prolog epilogue blogue
- 26:05Speaker 1: that elogue, all right.
- 26:08Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I gave you credit for doing that. Donald's
- 26:11Speaker 5: to get to get that much of it in in
- 26:13Speaker 5: thirty seconds. This is a big episode. It is on
- 26:16Speaker 5: ABC story. It's it's overlapping arcs in different directions, so
- 26:22Speaker 5: much stuff going on.
- 26:23Speaker 2: It was directed by Michael directed by Michael Spiller, one
- 26:26Speaker 2: of our favorites, Ken, Right, we always loved Michael Spiller.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Loved Michael.
- 26:30Speaker 2: And back to the old credits. If you recall in
- 26:34Speaker 2: season two, can you remember we had to reshoot the
- 26:36Speaker 2: beautiful credit sequence and then they wanted to add Neil
- 26:40Speaker 2: to the credits, so we reshot them, and then the
- 26:44Speaker 2: song was slower and the fans really didn't like it,
- 26:47Speaker 2: And so I think that that's it for the for
- 26:49Speaker 2: the old credit sequence. This, I think as far as
- 26:52Speaker 2: this one, we're back to it.
- 26:55Speaker 5: I asked you questions about this episode. The h is
- 27:02Speaker 5: Neil is still in your head? Janitor, still just in
- 27:05Speaker 5: your head in this episode? Right? Nobody else reacts with him.
- 27:10Speaker 2: That's a good question, Ken, We've debated that, and because
- 27:12Speaker 2: I Bill has Bill sort of a game with that
- 27:16Speaker 2: we thought was mostly season one. I think as far
- 27:20Speaker 2: as season two, he has begun to talk to other people,
- 27:23Speaker 2: but in this episode he only this particular one. He
- 27:26Speaker 2: only interacts with me.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Well, he so far throughout the season, he's only talked
- 27:31Speaker 1: to you. He hasn't you know? He hasn't talked to
- 27:33Speaker 1: anyone else. It's only been you so far.
- 27:35Speaker 2: No, I think I think that's wrong. I think he
- 27:39Speaker 2: he spoke to Ken or someone in an earlier and
- 27:43Speaker 2: let's find out.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Maybe this is a time to ask Scrubs Wiki.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I'm nervous about asking Scrubs wiki.
- 27:49Speaker 1: So can we have this Wikipedia site? Well, it's not
- 27:53Speaker 1: a Wikipedia site. This guy Trevor, Uh, he's the He
- 27:57Speaker 1: runs a Scrubs Wikipedia site pretty much where it's you ask.
- 28:01Speaker 1: You type in a question and all of these answers
- 28:04Speaker 1: come up for you know, specific said question.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Uh, that's not so true at all what you just said.
- 28:10Speaker 1: It isn't you know?
- 28:11Speaker 2: You don't type in a question. It's like you can
- 28:14Speaker 2: look up okay, episode two of season two, and it
- 28:18Speaker 2: tells you different. You've probably never looked at the damn thing,
- 28:20Speaker 2: have you.
- 28:20Speaker 1: I've never looked at tea.
- 28:23Speaker 2: We've been talking about it for so long. You never
- 28:25Speaker 2: even looked at it.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Listen to me, fake it to you. It would be
- 28:30Speaker 1: a lot. I love it in your mind.
- 28:33Speaker 2: It's like, so all you do, Ken is you type
- 28:35Speaker 2: in a question and it comes up with an answer
- 28:38Speaker 2: that's not at all what it is.
- 28:39Speaker 1: That should be what it is. Wick, You needs to
- 28:42Speaker 1: get that game right. That's a better way.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Well, you need to make your Google of scrubs. You
- 28:46Speaker 2: need to make your own, your own web page.
- 28:48Speaker 1: This is just Ken.
- 28:49Speaker 2: It's just like someone who's curated this this page where
- 28:52Speaker 2: it's breaks down every episode and it tells you the
- 28:55Speaker 2: guest stars, it tells you a summary, it tells you
- 28:57Speaker 2: some trivia, it tells you continuity errors, and yeah, you know,
- 29:00Speaker 2: it's become a good resource for us.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think it's a good resource
- 29:04Speaker 1: anymore if I can't call it and ask it questions
- 29:06Speaker 1: then and it answered my question.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Well, that's why we have asked. Trevor asks Trevor wiki.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask Trevor Wicki. Okay, Trevor, Trevor Wickie.
- 29:16Speaker 1: So far this season, in my recollection, the janitor has
- 29:20Speaker 1: talked only to JD. Is this true? And if it
- 29:24Speaker 1: is true, when does the janitor actually start to interact
- 29:28Speaker 1: in the story where his storylines are intertwined with the
- 29:34Speaker 1: rest of the cast.
- 29:35Speaker 2: But I have a feeling that it's Ken Jenkins. I
- 29:37Speaker 2: have a feeling and I want Trevor Wicki to answer
- 29:39Speaker 2: this that the Janitor says something to me and it
- 29:41Speaker 2: makes Ken slash Doctor Kelso laugh. But we'll see Trevor.
- 29:47Speaker 2: How do you guys?
- 29:48Speaker 8: In season two, Janitor still mostly only interacts with JD.
- 29:52Speaker 8: In the next episode, My big Mouth, Janitor partners with Troy,
- 29:56Speaker 8: but it's not until Mike Karma where Janitor starts interacting
- 29:59Speaker 8: with other main care All.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Right, let's get into the episode. So one two. I
- 30:05Speaker 2: thought it was hilarious that JD. You don't know what
- 30:07Speaker 2: JD is daydreaming about, and you go to him because
- 30:11Speaker 2: the woman says, is he always daydreaming there? And it
- 30:14Speaker 2: turns out we reveal that he's daydreaming about having that
- 30:17Speaker 2: that beautiful uh afro that better Sun has and I'm
- 30:21Speaker 2: bopping my head to that. That made me laugh out loud.
- 30:23Speaker 5: You would love to tell you my favorite line in
- 30:25Speaker 5: this episode, so we don't lose it. Yeah, he said,
- 30:29Speaker 5: it seemed with Donald and Judy a beautiful, sweet little
- 30:32Speaker 5: scene and he looks up and says something to the heavens,
- 30:36Speaker 5: and Judy says, this is my favorite line. Baby. You know,
- 30:39Speaker 5: I don't like you talking to God while we're having
- 30:41Speaker 5: a discussion.
- 30:52Speaker 2: That's funny.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Well we all do it, though, but we all do it.
- 30:57Speaker 5: We all do it.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Everybody does it. Everybody does it at some point when
- 31:02Speaker 1: in a discussion that you're uncomfortable with, there's that look
- 31:05Speaker 1: to the heaven's like why God, why why are you
- 31:10Speaker 1: doing this to me?
- 31:11Speaker 5: Right right?
- 31:16Speaker 1: It happens all the time. I've caught my wife doing
- 31:19Speaker 1: it to me, like when she she even puts her fist,
- 31:26Speaker 1: grabs her fist and hits them together. Well, why, Yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 1: it's true, it's true.
- 31:32Speaker 2: That is a great line. And we and we revealed
- 31:34Speaker 2: the Turk is still religious, because you know, we had
- 31:35Speaker 2: asked her early in season one, and he's quite religious.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Not that not that you need to be religious to
- 31:39Speaker 2: talk to God, but it does seem like we had
- 31:42Speaker 2: asked earlier, like, oh, does that do we stay with that?
- 31:45Speaker 2: Does does Turk keep a relationship with God? And here
- 31:48Speaker 2: he is talking to God.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I want to I want to jump back to the
- 31:52Speaker 1: beginning of the episode. When the show very first starts,
- 31:55Speaker 1: it cuts to an exterior shot of our apartment. Yeah,
- 32:01Speaker 1: when it cuts into the apartment, it kind of felt
- 32:04Speaker 1: a little it felt very sitcomy, you.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
- 32:09Speaker 1: And there aren't a lot of moments of this show
- 32:11Speaker 1: where I'm like, that's like a sitcom. You know, we
- 32:15Speaker 1: we earn our laughs because the laugh track, there's no
- 32:18Speaker 1: laugh track to you know, to help you. We earn
- 32:21Speaker 1: our laughs, and that at that moment, I was like,
- 32:23Speaker 1: is this one of those moments where we're experimenting still
- 32:27Speaker 1: in season two, trying to figure out a way to
- 32:30Speaker 1: because we're coming on Thursday nights now, And you know,
- 32:32Speaker 1: when Friends was on, that's always the first shot. It's
- 32:37Speaker 1: either the central the central perk, or it's their apartment building.
- 32:41Speaker 1: And it seemed like that's what we were doing.
- 32:42Speaker 2: And you think it was just the shot of the apartment,
- 32:45Speaker 2: because that's pretty rare for Scrubs to open on the
- 32:47Speaker 2: shot of the apartment. It usually opens on the shot
- 32:49Speaker 2: of the hospital. Is that what you were sensing?
- 32:50Speaker 1: You think, maybe maybe that's what it is, or maybe
- 32:54Speaker 1: you know, someone one of the executives at NBC or
- 32:58Speaker 1: something was like, well, I don't know where they start from.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Let's just you know. I don't.
- 33:01Speaker 5: I don't.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I don't understand this shot at the apartment.
- 33:05Speaker 5: I thought it was a joke that didn't quite work. Yeah,
- 33:09Speaker 5: which one, but the shot of the apartment of playoff friends,
- 33:13Speaker 5: this is not friends. Boom, it's friends. It's not friends, it's.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's very interesting because it opens up and
- 33:20Speaker 1: it's the four of us in the in the apartment.
- 33:22Speaker 2: I didn't understand why you say I'll go get you
- 33:24Speaker 2: guys beers and I'm like, I'll come help you, Like,
- 33:26Speaker 2: why do you need help grabbing two beers?
- 33:28Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 33:29Speaker 2: It was just it was a setup to leave them
- 33:31Speaker 2: alone and show that they they have that they're awkward
- 33:34Speaker 2: when they're when they're alone together.
- 33:37Speaker 5: Right.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I have another question, What the heck is an AMA conference?
- 33:40Speaker 1: I didn't want to look it up. I wanted to
- 33:42Speaker 1: ask this.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Gender the American Medical Association.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Donald Okay got it for all of you who out
- 33:48Speaker 1: there who didn't know what an AMA conference was and
- 33:51Speaker 1: didn't bother to look it up like me.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some people might be perplexed that you
- 33:55Speaker 2: don't know what the AMA is after playing a fake
- 33:57Speaker 2: doctor for for nine years. But you know who knows.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Don't be perplexed.
- 34:02Speaker 5: Do you know?
- 34:02Speaker 2: Don't be perplexed. There's a The AMA said that Scrubs
- 34:09Speaker 2: was the most medically accurate TV show about doctors.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Did you know that? I did know that. I didn't
- 34:15Speaker 1: know that the AMA said it. I just thought random
- 34:17Speaker 1: doctors said it.
- 34:18Speaker 2: No, Ama' that's one of our badges of honor.
- 34:22Speaker 5: Okay, my doctor still says, well, what do you think, Ken?
- 34:28Speaker 2: Ken? Do you uh? Do you do you use your
- 34:30Speaker 2: Scrubs fame to uh to get special treatment from the
- 34:33Speaker 2: doctor because we've learned that Bill tells everyone, including his dentist,
- 34:37Speaker 2: that he was a creator of Scrubs.
- 34:39Speaker 5: My doctors have got too old to understand things like that.
- 34:45Speaker 5: They just do what doctor Kelso did pay the nurse
- 34:49Speaker 5: pay on your way out.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I like it to twenty six that not only have
- 34:53Speaker 2: I just enjoyed a fantasy with the afro, but I've
- 34:56Speaker 2: I've I asked the guy is that easy to manage?
- 34:58Speaker 2: Like Jad's really JD's really asking if he can if
- 35:02Speaker 2: he might want to try a perm Yes.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Also, Ken, I love Al Gio. I don't know if
- 35:09Speaker 1: you loved al Giero.
- 35:10Speaker 5: That's that's my second favorite joke. And the look on
- 35:15Speaker 5: the Loma's face when she goes, what.
- 35:22Speaker 1: And you say, what is your response with which one
- 35:24Speaker 1: is the blind one? You mean Racheles's hor.
- 35:35Speaker 2: And then doesn't Aloma say? Aloma says something like, careful
- 35:38Speaker 2: of hern You're a saved woman.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Yes, but I loved me some al Giero. I loved
- 35:46Speaker 1: Algiero growing up. He's sang some of the greatest songs
- 35:50Speaker 1: ever made, like one of them.
- 35:52Speaker 2: What's Algira's most famous sign? I know the name, but
- 35:54Speaker 2: I can't think of what an Algiro song is that
- 35:56Speaker 2: I would know.
- 35:57Speaker 1: We're in this love together, we got the kind that
- 36:01Speaker 1: last forever. Also, nobody does it like Sarah Lee.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Oh he did the jingle.
- 36:07Speaker 1: Do you remember when he had his own Sarah Lee commercial?
- 36:10Speaker 1: And nobody does it like Sarah Lee.
- 36:13Speaker 2: I do remember. We're in it up to get the.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Laugh forever.
- 36:20Speaker 9: Uh.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Tommy Davidson, when I was a kid, had this great
- 36:23Speaker 1: stand up special where he talks about al Gioux. Algio
- 36:28Speaker 1: sang the theme song to Moonlighting somefly by.
- 36:31Speaker 9: Now that's right, moon Light extrangers who just met on
- 36:39Speaker 9: the wi who just met on the way anyway, Tommy David, a.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Little more, you gotta put a little more soundly.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Well, listen, Tommy Davison did this whole stand up thing
- 36:53Speaker 1: when I was a kid, right well, And he would
- 36:56Speaker 1: talk about how Algero could sing his off but would
- 37:01Speaker 1: make the craziest faces when he sang, so that to
- 37:04Speaker 1: get those sounds and to get that that you know,
- 37:06Speaker 1: that kind of twang to his music. Some Flyyi shell
- 37:13Speaker 1: fly bady. He make just the faces, and his niece
- 37:17Speaker 1: would be like, what's wrong with his face? I love
- 37:24Speaker 1: dow Jerome.
- 37:25Speaker 2: So can you have to kiss this woman's butt? Do
- 37:27Speaker 2: you remember if she was really there for your butt kissing?
- 37:32Speaker 5: You know, you think I'd remember a thing like that,
- 37:34Speaker 5: but I honestly don't.
- 37:37Speaker 2: I don't remember either. She was good. I forgot her name.
- 37:42Speaker 2: I'll look it up because I'm on this.
- 37:43Speaker 5: Marie Cheatham, Oh nicey nice?
- 37:47Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 37:47Speaker 2: Ha'd you? Did you work with her before? Again?
- 37:50Speaker 5: Yes? Well, we didn't work together, but when I was seventeen,
- 37:55Speaker 5: I was an apprentice at the Alley Theater in Houston, Texas,
- 37:59Speaker 5: and Marie down there. I don't remember whether she was
- 38:01Speaker 5: an apprentice too, or whether she was just around in
- 38:05Speaker 5: the company because she's younger than me, I think. But
- 38:10Speaker 5: that's where when Robert fox Swarth was down there as
- 38:14Speaker 5: an apprentice. Carl and Glenn.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Wow, so you guys knew each other when you were teenagers.
- 38:21Speaker 5: But when I was seventeen. But I hadn't seen her
- 38:23Speaker 5: until I was very surprised when there she was on
- 38:27Speaker 5: the on the show. I thought she was very good.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Yeah she was, she was. And the banter between all
- 38:35Speaker 2: of you guys, and the banter with Johnny was really
- 38:37Speaker 2: funny too.
- 38:37Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the sas and you saying sas sas.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Stop saying sas, Stop saying sas sas.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's back in this episode.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Yes, Mike McDonald with a broken penis.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Right, and Sarah's and Sarah's imaginary patient with the ass
- 38:59Speaker 1: on the front, that hilarious front butt.
- 39:04Speaker 5: That scene with Sarah and Judy, that is just the
- 39:07Speaker 5: sweetest little scene when when I would kill for your
- 39:11Speaker 5: I would kill for your and Judy says I would
- 39:14Speaker 5: kill for that wagon, your dragon blank look on her face.
- 39:19Speaker 5: She says, that's your butt.
- 39:22Speaker 2: What's funny is that Sara didn't really have much of
- 39:24Speaker 2: a wagon. I mean, I don't know, I.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Think that's I think that's the actual joke, though, you know,
- 39:29Speaker 1: it's It's very interesting because you know, women are build different, obviously,
- 39:33Speaker 1: and some have junk in the trunk and some have
- 39:36Speaker 1: not a lot of junk in the trunk. And what
- 39:37Speaker 1: I've learned is that, you know, jeans fit different when
- 39:41Speaker 1: you have more junk like jeans that you see on
- 39:43Speaker 1: television and designer jeans, at least when I was growing up,
- 39:46Speaker 1: or made for people, were made for people with not
- 39:49Speaker 1: a lot of booty, you know what I mean. And
- 39:51Speaker 1: so when I would go and buy the jeans that
- 39:55Speaker 1: I saw, you know, on television, and I put them on,
- 39:59Speaker 1: I would have I had big quads, and.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I have a very round and you have a big
- 40:04Speaker 2: ass wagon, and.
- 40:05Speaker 1: So it would be hard to fit into these jeans.
- 40:07Speaker 1: And so a lot of these jeans that I had,
- 40:09Speaker 1: you know, i'd buy all of these, you know, the
- 40:13Speaker 1: brand that was popular at the time. I would buy
- 40:15Speaker 1: the jeans and try to fit into them, and they
- 40:17Speaker 1: just didn't look as good as they did on other people,
- 40:20Speaker 1: and so I would you know, one of one of
- 40:22Speaker 1: the ways around that is to let the jeans sag
- 40:24Speaker 1: off your butt, you know. But I just noticed something
- 40:29Speaker 1: that was very crazy about this episode is both Judy
- 40:32Speaker 1: and Sarah look amazing in this episode. They're like fine
- 40:36Speaker 1: as fine can be in this episode, d you know
- 40:39Speaker 1: what I mean. Judy's hair is out of her face
- 40:41Speaker 1: and in your face, you know what I mean, really
- 40:44Speaker 1: see how beautiful she is. Sarah's hair is done nice
- 40:47Speaker 1: and not in her face, and you see how beautiful
- 40:49Speaker 1: she is.
- 40:49Speaker 2: But she's got the Princess Leiah buns on her head.
- 40:52Speaker 1: And they're complaining in the episode about you know, what
- 40:56Speaker 1: they wish they had and what they wish they didn't have,
- 40:59Speaker 1: and you know, and in my mind, I was like, wow,
- 41:01Speaker 1: we have two really beautiful women. But at the end
- 41:05Speaker 1: of the day, is that is that how we all are?
- 41:08Speaker 2: We all this way and everybody, everybody has their own
- 41:12Speaker 2: insecurities about their physical appearance. And and I think part
- 41:16Speaker 2: of the point of the episode where was here are
- 41:18Speaker 2: these two women that that we all would imagine would
- 41:22Speaker 2: be perfectly fine with their their appearance, and then they
- 41:25Speaker 2: what they finally bond over is their insecurities and you
- 41:29Speaker 2: know they don't have they can't find anything to talk about.
- 41:31Speaker 2: I thought it was a pretty powerful statement. Actually, what
- 41:35Speaker 2: they're saying is what they finally bond over is their
- 41:37Speaker 2: own insecurities about themselves. Yeah, and then the other one
- 41:40Speaker 2: is like, what are you talking about?
- 41:41Speaker 1: You have this?
- 41:42Speaker 5: You have this?
- 41:42Speaker 2: And she's like, what are you talking about?
- 41:43Speaker 5: You have this?
- 41:43Speaker 2: I wish I had your hair, I wish I had
- 41:45Speaker 2: your you know. So I thought that that that was
- 41:47Speaker 2: really relatable. A lot of people could go, Oh God,
- 41:50Speaker 2: even even these women who I perceive is to be
- 41:52Speaker 2: to be so beautiful, battle this, you know.
- 41:57Speaker 5: And what the turn with the Johnny c with the
- 42:00Speaker 5: Doctor Cox after your scene and you're telling him you
- 42:03Speaker 5: want to be like him, only successful. And the last
- 42:07Speaker 5: scene is him showing us that he's been kind of
- 42:12Speaker 5: braving over his insecurities when he hands the telephone to
- 42:16Speaker 5: Marie's character and lets her make the call for him, Yeah,
- 42:20Speaker 5: to get him an advantage.
- 42:22Speaker 2: And I really and I really like that because it
- 42:23Speaker 2: was it was one of the first times in the
- 42:25Speaker 2: whole show where I have had the bravery to do
- 42:28Speaker 2: something that affects Doctor Cox. Yeah, you know, I really
- 42:34Speaker 2: that took a lot of chutzba for JD to do
- 42:38Speaker 2: what he did and and go against him. But and
- 42:41Speaker 2: of course to say to your mentor I want to
- 42:44Speaker 2: be you, but a more successful you. Yeah, I mean
- 42:48Speaker 2: that was that was a really courageous moment for the character.
- 42:51Speaker 2: And then I really love the fact that that that
- 42:54Speaker 2: went to affect to doctor Cox. It really it made
- 42:58Speaker 2: him take action in his own career, planted a seed
- 43:01Speaker 2: in his own mind.
- 43:02Speaker 5: Right, It really planned the seed for the next six
- 43:06Speaker 5: years of your relationship with him.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we have to go to a quick commercial, Ken,
- 43:12Speaker 2: because this was like a real show. We have a
- 43:14Speaker 2: real we have advertisers and everything, so we will be
- 43:17Speaker 2: right back after these words.
- 43:23Speaker 1: And we're bad, and we're bad. I think there are
- 43:31Speaker 1: only a few entrances in our show that are legendary, Ken.
- 43:37Speaker 1: You have two all in one episode too. Your entrance
- 43:41Speaker 1: where you're excited and happy about everything you know, are
- 43:46Speaker 1: you coming and you're dancing and you and you're excited.
- 43:49Speaker 1: That's one of the best entrances in Scrubs history. And
- 43:53Speaker 1: then your second entrance when you come in and you
- 43:56Speaker 1: beat the ship out of everybody. I forgot one of.
- 43:58Speaker 2: That, one of the best I had forgot about that, Ken.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Do you remember you must have done those both the
- 44:04Speaker 2: same day, I imagine was there must have been a
- 44:05Speaker 2: lot of rehearsal for those sequences.
- 44:07Speaker 5: I don't remember that there wasn't. There was very little
- 44:11Speaker 5: rehearsal for the Happy one because it started downstairs an
- 44:15Speaker 5: the entrance, Yeah, throwing off the cape, and that took
- 44:19Speaker 5: a little while to set up. Those scenes always did
- 44:21Speaker 5: down there, and then we were up in the hallway
- 44:24Speaker 5: and that seemed to be almost an improvisation. It just
- 44:28Speaker 5: went that was so fast. But on the second hallway
- 44:32Speaker 5: scene that was Ernie, and Ernie was there with those
- 44:36Speaker 5: guys and saying give me a key yah and made
- 44:40Speaker 5: all those wax working and those people doing those enormous
- 44:44Speaker 5: reactions from anything I did, that sold that.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Just for people that don't know, Ernie was one of
- 44:51Speaker 2: our stunt coordinators and all those people that Ken's interacting with,
- 44:54Speaker 2: our stunt men and women, and we haven't really given
- 44:56Speaker 2: enough shout out to them yet on this show. You know,
- 45:00Speaker 2: we like we prided ourselves on doing a lot of
- 45:02Speaker 2: the physical stuff, but the stunt people did a ton
- 45:07Speaker 2: of of the stunts on the show, especially stuff that
- 45:11Speaker 2: like like this moment with Ken, which is it's like
- 45:13Speaker 2: a dancer tene right, Ken, It's like it's like a
- 45:16Speaker 2: choreographed dancer team.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like that one. I like the second one.
- 45:21Speaker 2: No, I mean when I when I when I meant
- 45:24Speaker 2: was that the fight sequence is its own bit of
- 45:26Speaker 2: a yeah of a dancer?
- 45:27Speaker 5: Oh? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely? Now listen, is this the only
- 45:31Speaker 5: time there were two done in one episode? Asked Trevor
- 45:36Speaker 5: the wiki.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Okay, you want to Ken? Good, We're Ken is calling
- 45:42Speaker 2: upon Trevor WICKI Ken, we are going to ask uh
- 45:46Speaker 2: Trevor wiki. Has there ever been a uh an entrance

- 45:59Speaker 2: which we twice, but separated by many many episodes. Yes,
- 46:04Speaker 2: has there ever been a an entrance like this in
- 46:08Speaker 2: a in another episode where we did it twice?
- 46:10Speaker 8: Over the top entrances are a fun running gag on Scrubs,
- 46:13Speaker 8: But Doctor Kelso is the only character to get two
- 46:16Speaker 8: grand entrances in one episode.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Well, not twice, but I do remember Dick van Dyke
- 46:21Speaker 1: had entrance very similar to.

- 49:31Speaker 2: Sarah says when she was a kid, she was really
- 49:33Speaker 2: close with her maid and then and then and then
- 49:36Speaker 2: she goes and then she goes, our bid was white,
- 49:38Speaker 2: and Judy goes what was her name? And there's a
- 49:40Speaker 2: really long pause and she goes, nzuela.
- 49:49Speaker 9: Man.
- 49:59Speaker 1: So the in the janitor, I thought that was a
- 50:01Speaker 1: great moment. And I thought that the janitor because you know,
- 50:05Speaker 1: when watching these episodes, we don't really remember all of it,
- 50:07Speaker 1: and so I honestly thought that JD had a breakthrough
- 50:10Speaker 1: with the janitor. And I was wondering what JD was
- 50:13Speaker 1: gonna do for the janitor to be like that mop
- 50:15Speaker 1: that I got you forget about I mean that mop,
- 50:18Speaker 1: that the mop that you got me, forget about it,
- 50:20Speaker 1: you ruined everything, And he just decides at the end
- 50:23Speaker 1: of the show, I liked my ol map better.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but by the way he cries. He literally
- 50:29Speaker 2: the janitor. I hadn't forgotten this. He cries over my gift.
- 50:33Speaker 2: First of all, he's in line. Everyone's in line to
- 50:36Speaker 2: go to Kelso's office to ask for things for their department,
- 50:39Speaker 2: and really expensive stuff. You're asking for an argon laser.
- 50:42Speaker 2: People are asking for overtime for nurses. They're all lined
- 50:46Speaker 2: up to ask for special things for the department. The
- 50:48Speaker 2: janitor's in line to ask for a mop. Yeah, and
- 50:55Speaker 2: then he doesn't get a MOP. So I go out
- 50:57Speaker 2: and buy him a mop. I take the time to give.
- 51:00Speaker 1: I mean, I goes out his way to make this
- 51:04Speaker 1: man feel special. I know.
- 51:05Speaker 2: I wish I had seen the scene. That would have
- 51:06Speaker 2: been a funny scene watching me mop shopping for the janitor.
- 51:09Speaker 2: But I buy the mop, I gift wrap it, I
- 51:12Speaker 2: put a bow on it, and I give it to
- 51:13Speaker 2: him and he starts to cry. He's so moved. Yeah, yeah,
- 51:18Speaker 2: that was funny. And then at the end of the
- 51:20Speaker 2: episode he's like, I like my old mom, and I go,
- 51:22Speaker 2: you cried. He goes, No, that was you, that was you.
- 51:25Speaker 5: That was you. I liked your line. And when you
- 51:31Speaker 5: said what was wrong with the mompny and you said
- 51:35Speaker 5: it was out of mop Gas?
- 51:40Speaker 2: Was it out a mop Gas?
- 51:41Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 51:43Speaker 2: He's so funny, Neil. I just look at him and
- 51:46Speaker 2: I start giggling. I mean, you know, when he comes on,
- 51:48Speaker 2: it's gonna be a funny moment. How about Rob Mashio.
- 51:51Speaker 2: First of all, I believe when you when you get
- 51:53Speaker 2: a fake breast, uh, I think it's like a special
- 51:58Speaker 2: wing or doctor. Right, it's I don't want to want
- 52:01Speaker 2: why we're handling. Why Judy and Rob Mashio are handling
- 52:04Speaker 2: a breast augmentation?
- 52:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you go to a plastic surgeon for that, right, right.
- 52:09Speaker 2: I thought that was like I don't know much, but
- 52:10Speaker 2: I was like, why is Judy prepping a breast augmentation
- 52:14Speaker 2: and why is Rob Maggio doing the surgery?
- 52:17Speaker 5: Because the real j D was not in the writer's
- 52:20Speaker 5: room when.
- 52:20Speaker 2: They exactly then, because I was like, I believe we're
- 52:26Speaker 2: like a small city hospital and like mostly for like emergencies.
- 52:30Speaker 2: I don't think we're doing like cosmetic breast augmentation. But
- 52:34Speaker 2: but what about when he goes, let's get you into
- 52:36Speaker 2: a fresh pair of blouse bunnies. Blouse bunnies. And then
- 52:43Speaker 2: later he says to the husband after she's had her
- 52:46Speaker 2: breast done. He goes, We're gonna need to get you
- 52:48Speaker 2: some bigger hands. You didn't laugh at that.
- 52:55Speaker 1: I did laugh. I laugh at everything Rob does. Yeah,
- 53:00Speaker 1: so we have a moment where Elliott has a voiceover.
- 53:05Speaker 2: What are you thinking about?
- 53:06Speaker 1: Yeah, she has a voiceover when she's raw looking in
- 53:09Speaker 1: the mirror or stuff like that.
- 53:11Speaker 2: Is that a voiceover? Is it too? Or she's talking
- 53:13Speaker 2: to herself her.
- 53:15Speaker 1: Mouth isn't moving, so it's definitely voiceover.
- 53:17Speaker 2: By the way, when she's playing with her breast and
- 53:19Speaker 2: she squeezing them together and then she like leans forward
- 53:22Speaker 2: and then something breaks. But I don't know what the
- 53:24Speaker 2: hell happens. It sounds like someone throws a brick through
- 53:26Speaker 2: her front window. There's like this loud glass shatter noise.
- 53:30Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 53:31Speaker 1: No, I didn't pick that up.
- 53:33Speaker 2: Yeah. The idea is she's like she's like leaning forward
- 53:35Speaker 2: and she's like giving herself big cleavage, and then the
- 53:37Speaker 2: idea is like something breaks. But do you know what
- 53:42Speaker 2: I'm talking about? Joel? But the sound effect was so weird.
- 53:46Speaker 2: It was like it sounds like some she was being
- 53:48Speaker 2: attacked from outside.
- 53:50Speaker 5: That was the bottom of massage oil.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Something broke ken, something on her sync broke, but the
- 53:59Speaker 2: sound effect was just a bizarre choice. I thought, Joelle,
- 54:03Speaker 2: do we have a guest. Let's bring them in. Can
- 54:05Speaker 2: we take a question here from from one of our
- 54:08Speaker 2: lovely listener fans. They come into the room, you're about
- 54:11Speaker 2: to be about to meet them, and then they ask
- 54:14Speaker 2: us a question.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Banks, Bank smoking that loud? Banks smoking that loud? Oh
- 54:21Speaker 1: my gosh, Banks smoking that loud?
- 54:25Speaker 2: Banks? Are you exhaling marijuana as you ask us a question?
- 54:30Speaker 5: Yes?
- 54:30Speaker 2: I did have a couple of questions.
- 54:32Speaker 1: No, but that's not.
- 54:35Speaker 2: That sounds like that, sounds like that?
- 54:37Speaker 1: Yes, Banks, you smoking that loud right now?
- 54:40Speaker 2: Why are you call it loud?
- 54:41Speaker 1: I never heard that, because it's it's loud and stinky. Baby.
- 54:45Speaker 2: But Banks, of all three of the cast members of
- 54:48Speaker 2: Scrubs that you have and enjoy the occasional use of cannabis,
- 54:52Speaker 2: So it seems like you're the appropriate guest for this
- 54:54Speaker 2: episode because we just watched you exhale a giant cloud
- 54:57Speaker 2: of smoke.
- 54:58Speaker 1: That shit was like a rat. That's it was like
- 55:00Speaker 1: a Snoop Dogg video dog That's it was for real,
- 55:04Speaker 1: for real, man, you took a big ass hit off
- 55:07Speaker 1: of something. And Zach, you have a shirt.
- 55:10Speaker 2: This is burned, Yes, sir, burn it, burn it burning,
- 55:13Speaker 2: because I'm gonna burn one downn If you don't like
- 55:17Speaker 2: my fire, then don't come around, because I'm gonna burn
- 55:20Speaker 2: one down.
- 55:22Speaker 1: All right? It was no doubt? Is that og? Was
- 55:26Speaker 1: that og? Cush?
- 55:26Speaker 8: Was it?
- 55:26Speaker 5: What was that was?
- 55:27Speaker 1: Was that you saw?
- 55:28Speaker 8: No?
- 55:29Speaker 10: I was told it was purple diesel?
- 55:32Speaker 9: Oh?
- 55:33Speaker 1: Okay, So mixture of sour diesel?
- 55:37Speaker 2: Ken? Do you still partake every now and then?
- 55:40Speaker 5: You know when you reach eighty you don't need to
- 55:44Speaker 5: because you it's sort of like it's a perpetual filled thing.
- 55:49Speaker 5: It just gets utterly filled up and there's no need
- 55:53Speaker 5: to bother your lungs about it because it's just always there.
- 55:56Speaker 5: Your full.
- 55:58Speaker 2: So you smoked it up so that you're just good.
- 56:01Speaker 2: You're you're high. You're high enough for the rest of
- 56:03Speaker 2: your life.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Well you did that?
- 56:04Speaker 5: Or I was walking around Donald occasionally.
- 56:12Speaker 1: My lips are purple now, Ken, they used to be pink.
- 56:15Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
- 56:16Speaker 2: Donald is salivating Banks. All right, Banks, you have a
- 56:21Speaker 2: question for us. We have Ken Jenkins on the show today,
- 56:24Speaker 2: Donald Faison and is Zach Brast.
- 56:27Speaker 10: Yeah, I just watched the episode Ken was hilarious, right
- 56:32Speaker 10: wallet Yeah, yeah. So my question about the show is,
- 56:38Speaker 10: if you guys could recast, who would you cast as who?
- 56:44Speaker 1: If I could recast myself, I'll just say.
- 56:46Speaker 10: You could recast the whole show.
- 56:48Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but if I could
- 56:49Speaker 1: recast it. I loved working with everybody, and I think
- 56:51Speaker 1: everybody is really good on this show and I can't
- 56:53Speaker 1: see anybody else playing the characters that we played. But
- 56:57Speaker 1: if I could recast myself, they're are like three people
- 57:00Speaker 1: that I think could have done a great job if
- 57:04Speaker 1: timing was on their side.
- 57:07Speaker 2: Denzel Well, I mean, come on, man, I feel.
- 57:12Speaker 1: Like I feel like if timing was on his side,
- 57:14Speaker 1: Jillie White would have made a great Christopher Turk. By like,
- 57:19Speaker 1: he would have crushed that role as Christopher Turk if
- 57:22Speaker 1: timing were If timing were right on his side, I
- 57:25Speaker 1: feel like Damon Wayne's junior, if he were older back then,
- 57:31Speaker 1: he would have crushed Christopher Turk. He would have done
- 57:34Speaker 1: such a great job as Christopher Turk. And Uh. I
- 57:39Speaker 1: think those two people and when it comes to playing
- 57:42Speaker 1: that character, if I could recast Chris Turk, and it
- 57:47Speaker 1: couldn't be me. I would take those two people. Okay.
- 57:53Speaker 2: I was just thinking as Donald was answering, because I
- 57:55Speaker 2: zoned out. His answer was so boring, and I.
- 57:57Speaker 1: Think that so's your face.
- 58:01Speaker 2: I was thinking Ben Platt would be a good jd.
- 58:04Speaker 3: Uh.
- 58:04Speaker 2: He's a funny, young, nerdy character actor, and he's very
- 58:10Speaker 2: talented and he can sing his ass off, not that
- 58:13Speaker 2: JD was required to sing too much. How about you, Ken?
- 58:17Speaker 2: Can you think of another actor who could have I
- 58:18Speaker 2: don't know, no one could replace the legendary Ken Jenkins.
- 58:21Speaker 5: But I wouldn't want to put anybody else through nine
- 58:24Speaker 5: years of that.
- 58:32Speaker 2: All right, what about another one? Banksy?
- 58:36Speaker 10: Banksy is fine, Bankos is cool. Tookos. Oh, this is
- 58:40Speaker 10: non scrub related, Donald, I want to know, like, because
- 58:45Speaker 10: you know, I'm from New York too, so like I've
- 58:47Speaker 10: kind of followed your career, like you know, you're always
- 58:50Speaker 10: always a grooms man, never a groom really like kind
- 58:53Speaker 10: of in the back, like but you know, clueless, Uh,
- 58:56Speaker 10: sugar Hill and all that things like that, who in Hollywood?
- 59:01Speaker 5: And you? And you?
- 59:02Speaker 1: Who in Hollywood?
- 59:03Speaker 5: Did you?
- 59:03Speaker 10: Did you serve up the most on the court?
- 59:05Speaker 1: Like who in Hollywood did I serve up the most
- 59:08Speaker 1: on the court. Uh, A lot of people. There are
- 59:12Speaker 1: a lot of people that have gotten they ass busted
- 59:15Speaker 1: by me, and then there are a lot of people
- 59:17Speaker 1: that are busted my ass, Like you know.
- 59:19Speaker 10: The most famous of the two.
- 59:20Speaker 1: I wanted that question. Yeah, go ahead.
- 59:25Speaker 2: Does he mean like in a metaphor in the acting
- 59:30Speaker 2: world or on the basketball court?
- 59:31Speaker 1: On the basketball court?
- 59:33Speaker 2: No, I don't know if that's what he means. Thanks,
- 59:34Speaker 2: What do you mean?
- 59:35Speaker 10: I mean on the basketball court?
- 59:36Speaker 2: Okay, shutting up?
- 59:38Speaker 1: Thank you, and you stay quiet for a while.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Do you understand, yes, sir, I'm sorry.
- 59:46Speaker 1: So Leonardo DiCaprio is the most famous person that I've
- 59:49Speaker 1: ever served on the basketball court. Heim An Tooby Maguire
- 59:52Speaker 1: on the same team gave them the business. And this
- 59:54Speaker 1: was back, dude, This was back when I couldn't play
- 59:57Speaker 1: basketball that well, right, This was me coming to LA
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: and being put in the league and then seeing Leo
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: and Toby and being like, oh, they're gonna get it today,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I don't even score
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: a lot of points, but we beat the crap out
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: of it. They had like they had a they had
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: a squad in this entertainment league that we played in,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: and we beat them in the playoffs. We got them
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: in the first round, and when we played them during
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: the season we beat them. Anyway, we have a question.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: I told you to shut up.
- 1:00:25Speaker 11: Sorry, I'm sorry it's so funny, but I also don't
- 1:00:47Speaker 11: want to talk now.
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: I told you to shut up. Did Leo invite you
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: back to his game? Because I always hear about these
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: celebrity games where when someone comes in and they kick
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: ass like you probably did that, they don't get invited back,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: like you got to watch how good you are?
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Right? So that happened to me. That happened to me. Well,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: so one time I played ball with Toby and a
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: bunch of his buddies at somebody's house. I don't know
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: who it was, but Harley Pasterneck invited me. Harley Passon
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: next to celebrity trainer. Celebrity trainer, right, and we told
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: you had.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: Said bananas or sugar sticks, go ahead.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: Right, And and I've run into him. You know, He's
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: invited me to a bunch of games to play with
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: other celebrities because he knew I loved basketball. So I
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: played with Kanye West, I played with Common, I played
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: with all of these people, right, And he invited me
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: one time to play basketball with Toby, and I remember
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Toby Maguire was like, I don't want to be on
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: his team because I'm not going to have fun playing
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: on his team. And I took offense to it. And
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: I remember when I got there and I listen, you
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: talk about smoking a lot a loud. I had smoked
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: so much weed when I got there. Before I got there, right,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: and so I'm stoned out of my mind. And he's
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: like and he's like, I don't want to pla with
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: him because I'm not gonna have fun. And I was like, oh, okay, fine,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: you got it. And I proceeded to bust their ass
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: on their court and I never got invited back.
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to be not too good, right. That's
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: the trick to play with fancy celebrities, Right.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: You have to make it feel like they can they
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: can compete on your level. If they can't compete on
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: your level, you got to make you have to bring
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: them up to your level. You gotta be like the
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Lebron James of the thing where you score buckets, but
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: you make them feel like they're doing their thing. Another time.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: Hold up, I was in Miami and Leo and Toby
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: invited me to hang out with them, and this was
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: one of the biggest moments of my life, you know
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: what I mean as a young actor. To me, Leonardo
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: DiCaprio is the best actor in the world. I love
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: everybody out there. I think everybody does a great job.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: But for me, Leo is my age, and I think
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: he's the best at my like, I don't think anybody
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: better than him. And since you know, when it comes
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: to my peers, people that are my age, right. And
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: so we're in Miami and we go down to this
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: little basketball court and it's me, Leo and Toby on
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: the same team and we play against you know, some
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Floridians on uh it's three on three game and we win,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: and I you know, I remember, and I remember thinking,
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: you know, I've arrived. I played ball with Leo, I
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: played ball with Toby. We were on the same team.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: It happened. I'm gonna be in the next Spider Man.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: I could feel it. I was wrong because right the
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: next time I played ball with Toby, he said, I
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: don't think I'd have fun playing on his team. In
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: my mind. I was like, well, we kicked ass in Miami, Baby,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: we had a thing. We did that thing in Miami,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: all right. So those are the people who when it
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: comes to basketball, those are the two people that I've
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: given the business Leonardo DiCaprio and Miami Leonordo on Tobey maguire.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: When it comes to getting my ass busted. There are
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: quite a few entertainers out there who can really ball.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan is nice, Jesse Williams nice, these dudes up.
- 1:04:13Speaker 10: I mean, I'm a heavy NBA celebrity game historian, and
- 1:04:18Speaker 10: someone like Michael B. Jordan, I think.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: It's a big difference when you're under those lights, though. Man,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: it's a big, big, big difference. And the ball isn't
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: the real ball. It's not it's not like anything you've
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: ever played with.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: And why isn't the ball a real ball in the
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: celebrity games.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Because it has to look it's shiny, and it has
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: you know, it has a bunch of it doesn't feel
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: the same way, right, And so.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: I love that grit, that normal grit we usually have
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: when we play.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan Jesse Williams, Brian mcnight, James Yeah, James Leazure.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm leaving some people out there supposed
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: to be really good. There's so much younger than me
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: that I've never had the like when.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: You were playing, when you were playing actively in these
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: celebrity leagues, who was the best? Who is? Who would
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: you pick number one on your team of people?
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: We know it's either Brian McKnight or James Lazure. Those
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: two are like, Brian mckknight understands basketball, right. James Lazure
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: he doesn't have to he doesn't have to score, you know,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: forty points to win. He would average a triple double
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: every game we played, and you'd look at it and
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: be like, damn, you know, he didn't take a lot
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: of shots, but he had ten points. And I don't
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: think he passed the ball to me that much. But
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: look yeah, yeah, yeah, I just had to look at
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: who was right that that dude is that dude can ball?
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Mike Yeah. But but the two that are the two,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: the three that are really good in my opinion are
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: James Lezure, Brian mckknight, and Michael b. Jordan.
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: Okay, well, are you having everyone, Uh Donald the celebrity
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: basketball player, How's how's the Doulay Hill?
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Deulay is not a real He's not. He's not that
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: big of That's another person who could have played Turk
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: as Delay Hill if circumstances were correct. But uh, Delay
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: is not. Jalil is dope. Jalil cabal too. That's another one.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: That's another one. But I gave and Jalil knows it.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: I gave him the business one summer league. We had
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: a we had a Nike Summer league, and I gave
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: him the business and he knows it. And to this day,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: every time, if I ever I mean, I don't play
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: basketball anymore. But from that point on, if I did
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: play Julie White, he was extra aggressive when it came
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: to guarding me, and if I was guarding him to
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: showing me, Yo, that was a fluke. Dude, you ain't
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: never gonna do it again. But I gave him the
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: business one game, so much so that you know, when
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: people are staring at you and you're acting like you
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: can't see him staring at you. I felt the I
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: felt the burn in my peripheral while he's sitting on
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: the bench after I filed his ass out, burning into
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: my free You know.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Do they still do this celebrity basketball thing.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't play basketball a nomore.
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: No, I'm saying they do. Okay, yeah right now, I
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: mean in non COVID, in non COVID times. I wonder
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: if it was still a thing.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: I don't play basketball like that anymore. But it's a
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: big difference when it gets on television and the announcers
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: and the TV timeouts and all of that stuff. It's
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: not the same game, you know what I mean, your rhythms.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: You have to be hot going in and just stay
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: hot because your rhythms are off and you can't play
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: your way into games like that my opinion.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: All right, Well, for anyone who tuned out for the

- 1:08:20Speaker 2: we'll tell you what we're gonna do. Well, I guess
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: we kind of did it right. We don't have anything
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: else to talk about.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: I mean, we're Ken. Is there anything else you wanted
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: to say?
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to say how good Johnny Castle is?
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: Absolutely Ken? You know what, Absolutely, You're absolutely right.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: You're right, Ken. Johnny Castle doesn't get enough appreciation. He
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: plays Doug, the nervous guy, and he was always very
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: very funny and always had his little red fanny pack.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: On and it's always the butt of Kelso and Cox's jokes.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: They and some of the best one liners, like you
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: know when he's like, my family lives in uh, you'll
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: see them. Yeah, my family lives in Brina. You'll see
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: them around the holiday.
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: Christmas for it, right right right, right right right, And
- 1:09:12Speaker 5: he's he snaps off those ends when when Johnny is
- 1:09:16Speaker 5: always chasing him off, go go, go go, he snaps
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: those ends off so crisply too.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so Ken, Uh I just want to say
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: thank you for doing this. Uh. Donald and I talk
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: about a lot how much we we love you and
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: miss you and uh and we were both really really
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: excited that you wanted to do.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: This, you know, and also you are the m v
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: P of our show. You were talking earlier about how
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: you felt you were so broad and everything like that
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: and you needed to pull it back. But I personally
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: watching you, feel like you were so natural and you
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: were able to bring a natural element to slapstick and
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: broad comedy. And as much as you're like, I feel
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: like I was all. I was all for the top.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: I personally, uh, I, it's it's it. I I disagree
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: with you, honestly. I think you are right in the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: pocket and you crush it every time. And I think
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: that's why it started off as Kelso being the bad guy,
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: and as we moved forward, Kelso all of a sudden
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: was telling all of the great jokes and had all
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: of the great one liners. And so that's just my
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: that's just time.
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: I gotta tell you, the only reason that I agreed
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: to come on and do this with you guys was
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: the hopes that you would say some wonderful bullshit like that.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: Okay, nobody talk. We can't nobody talk. We can't beat that.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: We can't beat that. That's how you end the show.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Thank you, Ken Banks. Count us out.
- 1:10:56Speaker 6: I'm not sure we made I said, nurses Diana Canada,
