• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hid and we're bad and we're bad. Wow, Joel, you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: looked more beautiful than ever heard. Joel. We met a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: woman on the red carpet who has a website and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: she knows you. What was it called? It was like
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: blurds donalds dot. Yes, she was shouting you out, Joel.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: That's very sweet.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: She was calling you a black nerd.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Well, she was calling donald bird. How are you guys.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's so good to see you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: It's good to see you guys too, holy smooths.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, we made nine episodes of a new scrubs.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and about it?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Did you guys like about it? Yes, it's really beautiful.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: The episode started and I was like, they're fucking back.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You're back.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that no time has gone by at all.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Not only no time has gone by, but like the
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: timing is exactly the same, the vibe is exactly the same.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Like Bill hadn't written the pilot. I thought, cause I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: take Dale's like all Bill's pen never misses. And then
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I went back. It was like Bill did not write
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this that he oversaw.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: want to minimize here. I don't want to. I don't
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: want to minimize Bill. He definitely uh did rewrites and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and and and build it up.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think it takes to like Bill. Bill has come
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: on this podcast and talked a lot about his mentorship
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and who else he's brought up and along his way.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And these are two folks who've been with Scrubs for
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a long time, who are incredible writers, who's like comedy
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and the drama and the timing. Like you can see
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Bill's like essence and touches throughout all of it. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I just love that, Like there's enough community behind Scrubs
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to keep this thing going at like one hundred percent.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: We built the community here. This is where the immunity
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: we started up again. That's the crazy thing about it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, Zach talks about it in a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: lot of the interviews. We did a lot of research,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and I didn't realize we were doing research, you know
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: what I mean, Like he's when he said that the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: first time, I was like, wait, what we did do research?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Us?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Right? We've watched this, you know, so the fans are
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: going to get exactly what they've wanted. And I think
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the timing stuff that you're talking about. I think that
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: has a lot to do with this podcast as well.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And also that too. Donald. I sorry interrupt you, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I just said the same thing in an interview that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you weren't on, where I said, you know, Donald and I,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: when we did this TV show, we never had a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: chance where we were like improvising, you know, for shit,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: my mic is fucked up. We were improvising for like
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: two hours a week together, you know, like riffing. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I just had this realization that that's made our our
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: ability to riff even stronger because we this podcast, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: had us just shooting the ship and make try to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: make everybody laugh for two hours with no script, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I think that that really informed new Scrubs.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Dan Well, I mean, well it worked. I mean it's great.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It's great seeing you two back on the screen again.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: It honestly made my day. Like opening that first episode
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: for the first time, I was just like, I'm I'm in,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I'm all the way back in. I'm back to when
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I was watching this for the first time, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: rooting for my boys JD and Turk to you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: have their life adventures. It was I mean, yeah, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: mean I don't know we can how many of you guys, Sally.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, I don't want to go through a chronologically
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: because I don't want to do spoilers for people to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be sure this is going to come out, So that's right,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so we can talk. I really wanted this for the fans.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I wanted to we wanted to come back and say
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: thank you to everybody listening, because you are most definitely
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons this happened. If you're listening and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you're you're a regular listener in this podcast, it shouldn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: go without saying that the success of this podcast and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the love you all showed, uh, Donald and I, but
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: also the four of us, Donald me, I believe it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the correct English is what what?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: What?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What? What? Was one of the main propellants of this happening.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So this is our official thank you so much, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we all.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Just under applause.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel, Yeah, oh my god, Donner's claws, Daniel. But we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: all just couldn't wait back to get back together and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: chat with you. But also I wanted to just make
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: sure we chat about all things, but not do any spoilers.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We will because this will come out before it airs, right,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: but we are on a big press tour Donald and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: me and say, you know, Christa Miller, I am this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is what I have. I have this. I have this
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Pavlovian response whenever I do I and me because Christa
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: is insane about directing me, and she taught me the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: trick for knowing which one is right, but it takes
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: me a second to do the math on the trick.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: What's the trick is that you take out the other person.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So you would say We've been on a giant uh
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: press tour. I've been on a Brian giant press tour
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: right down Dania. How do you do it the other person?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I'm on a press tour. I have been on press tour.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: It's not Donald I, it's not me has been in
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: a pressed tour.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But it takes my brain a second to do that calculation.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna avoid any sentences with eye and me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: All Right, it's all we we.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: How have you guys been? Give us a little ketchup?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: What's it like without us? At iHeart?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's insane. It's been quite grim. All of
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the joy has been stripped from our lives. We do
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: not have any weekly catchups. With our favorite people, you know, Joel,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I mean Joel and myself. I mean, I won't speak
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: for you, Joel, but I know that our workloads, at
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: least my workload has grown greatly partly from the success
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: of this podcast. People have seen that Joel and I
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: are not producers to be messed with, and so they
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: put us on a lot of stuff. I have fully
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: transitioned to the video team, so I actually don't even
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: work on podcasts anymore.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I work on the.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Video team, and I'm helping transition more podcasts to video,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: taking you on strictly video projects. And yeah, I'm behind
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the camera now a lot more than I am behind
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: the mic of Thank you, Joel.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I've been doing a lot
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of I've been going on a whole podcast tour for
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the show, and I walk into these sets like Conan's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and Daxes, and I'm like, this is the most beautifully
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lit space I've ever seen, and the way it's shot
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: with like moving cameras that are robotic in the ceiling,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and I just keep hoping that one day, if we
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: ever bring this back, that someone builds us a beautiful
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Conan like desk where we can all be I guess, Daniel,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you would still be remote.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: But do you know how much money that costs?
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Bro?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I know, hopefully, I know. But but maybe there's a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: world my heart it's a Hulu show. Maybe there's a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: world where ihearted Hulu collaborate. But oh my gosh, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: went into the Dax's podcast and I was just looking
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: up at all the lights. It's so it's so professionally
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: beautifully lit, and I just thought, if we ever did
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: this again, it would be fun to at least, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: three of us. I know you're in New York. To
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: be in the same room and and and be around, uh,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know, sitting around on couches will be fun.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We'll clip this and send it to Will.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We will exactly we get, we get an advanced notice.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe I can take a trip out, you know whatever.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know that's one thing that needs to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: be done.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, we continue this. I know what it is.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I six seven.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Show we made about a bunch of dogs and nurses.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I said, he's a Stormies natural. So YadA.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Yad Wu Tank forever, Wu Tank forever.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We had so much fun making this show. We just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: dropped back in let's talk about broad strokes of the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: pilot without ruining anything for everyone.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I want to know what Joel is up to. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: kind of cut her off.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry we skipped Joel. Joelle, you're looking fine. What
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: have you been up to?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Oh? What can I share? Daniel will have to bleep this,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: But we are working on another rewatch podcast. We can't
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: hasn't been announced yet, so we can't say.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You're gonna bleep it anywhere.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's you know, a thousand other shows. I work
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: with an olympian. Now I work with a therapist. Lots
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of cool, fun piece people. So doing the same thing
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I do with you guys, but it's not quite as
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: fun or adventures.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Does everyone make you on air talent too? Well? Because
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you're so good on on the mic.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I want air for three of my currently running shows. Yes,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: do you sometimes I fill in? It's just sometimes, you know, I.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Feel like nobody puts baby in the corner with you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You're so talented on the microphone.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I think that I think that comes with it should
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: come with the package, right, Joe Well is going to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: be one of your producers and on air personalities as well.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It has been a sales feature for Talent. Well, because
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you're very interesting.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're very interesting, and people want to hear your
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: thoughts on things. I mean, I always did. I can't
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think of how many movies and TV shows I've watched
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you well that I wanted your thoughts on.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, do you can I Hi, Donald, it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so good to hear from you. Wonder Man was incredible. Well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I give it. It's my It's the best Marvel TV
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: show since Loki. I was.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: It is better than Loki, and I thought it was.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: That's just me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: It's my favorite too. But I just give a small
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: caveat because those were big fan favorites, and I do
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: think those were both really well made series. But this
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: is Zach. It's so grounded. It's no super it's having
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: thee oh my god, so funny.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Kingsley mm hmm.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too hander. It's delightful. It's so good.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Did you laugh so hard? When Donald said ready to receive?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, you ready?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Did you see the direct? I wregged that and I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: said from the side angle, Donald, I want to see
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you arch your back. He popped. I was like, Donald,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: pop it pop the back. I need to see it lift.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Heated rivalry, heated rivalry, could never, they.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't wish, they wish. It was truly a sight to behold?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Can I?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: The scene just so.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Spoiler free review from like a critic here. The opening
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: scene is so genius. It was so brilliant because it
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: was a roller coaster promotions. I was like, Oh, they're
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: going really serious with it. And then I was like, oh, well,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes scrubs could be kind of serious. Like that was
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like the whole bind to the show. And then I said,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: but this is very serious. Okay, it's a fantasy. They
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: do fantasies in this show. I remember, it's a fantasy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: And then a crazy and safe thing happened, and then
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a much more insane thing happened, and I was like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: my god, we're back. But when you at the end
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: of all of this, you land in JD's current reality
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and you're like, I'm in safe hands with this show.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: This show's got me. It's going to get me through.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It's coming with both the comedy both like incredibly like
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: serious grounded. I was curious how the show is going
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to like, you know, we live in the world of
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the pit now, which is really tackling, like very intense
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: suff It was like, this is a comedy show, how
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and you guys did it perfectly. You were the first one.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, thank you so much, thank you so much.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I really wanted. One of the main mantras was like,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to reground the show. And we got that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: from watching the show with you guys. We all watched
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: how broad the show got. And don't get me wrong,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Donald and I love ostriches stealing kangos. We find it hilarious.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: But I think in this new incarnation in twenty twenty six,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we were like, let's save all that insane, surreal shit
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for the fantasies. Let's reground the real world and play
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it straight. And I think in the pilot, and I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: was directing, and I was really with myself most importantly,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: but also with my fellow castmates, trying to get us
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: all on this same page, you know, making the same
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: TV show, and I would catch myself going, let me
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: go again, that was that was that was too silly,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that was too broad. Let's just bring everything to reality.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And I think that that was a great reset for
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the show to go back to groundedness.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It was because it allows what really works about the show,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: which is how adorable the two of you are to work.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: When when JD's first voice overcomes in, I was like, damn,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Zack's really nailing that cute Like it's just so. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: then the first time we see Turk, he can I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: not speiling thing. He can sense JD. And You're like,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: oh my god, like your whole faith just lights up.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, when we were in reality again,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: both real and dramatic and serious, but also just it's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: so adorable here. Oh my god, I'm really I was
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: worried about the friendship element and like what might change
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: from time, but I'm glad the two of y'all stayed
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: exactly the same.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: You know, Joel, when you talk about that first uh
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: first voiceover, that's when we knew it was. That's when
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: we knew it was on and pop. And also when
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: we did the table, okay, so were the room is packed?
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Let me let me set the mood something set the table.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: The room is packed. It's all the execs, Like for
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: some reason, everybody from Disney ABC decided to show up
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: that day. Bills there you know what I mean, we've
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: got the script, we've had it for about a week. Now,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: we sit down, we do the table read. Sorry, we
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: start the table read, Zach goes you know, in a
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: hut and fucking the whole room it starts applauding.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: God, it was really sweet because I.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Might have started the applause, sure, but the whole room
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: started applauding.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It was a really sweet moment because no one had
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: heard me sort of do that JD like you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in a hospital like voice into a long time, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it was just so funny. Uh, it was just so funny,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and everyone just started laughing and clapping because, oh my god, shit,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: gout real, we were actually making this show.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: We were doing it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Once you hear that JD v O voice.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: It's it's you know, it's really crazy, man. Like, there's
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: so many things that that I'm that I'm learning while
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: doing these interviews for you know, this press for Scrubs
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: coming out like the I hadn't I stated it earlier.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I had no clue we were doing research. I had
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: no clue that this could be used as research. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: had no clue that a pot like I imployed. And
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I don't implore, but I if any other show was
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: thinking about reviving what they did before and they have
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a rewatch podcast like you guys worked on New Girl,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure there are a bunch of other ones.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: That's where you find out what the fans really wanted.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And we were so inclusive with our fans, you know
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: what I mean that we were able to learn so
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: much and it really served us well.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Man, it was we weren't thinking of it like that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't on our mind. But I look back
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: now and going it's like, wow, we did like a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: giant research project to figure out not just what the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: fans responded to, because we obviously learned a lot about that,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: but also what we responded to, right, I mean, what
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we found funny and when we thought like, oh, you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I think we were really candid with the audience. We
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: were like, I think this one sucks and here's why,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and I just didn't laugh and I and I think
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't do that when they do
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: rewatch podcasts. They aren't as candid or willing to say
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but this one sucks and or I suck
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in this, or why am I acting like that? On Jesus,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like in a cartoon, and so I think that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: really informed so much of how we were going to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: approach this new incarnation.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean you so yeah, it's super shows. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: mean the way that you guys were able to just
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: like bring it all back together, I mean speaks to
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: that research. You know, you know the show so well.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: It's not just something you did in your past. It's
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: something that you have researched and re you know, rewatched
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: literally and then bringing it back was drawing from such
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: a much more fresh memory than something that's like, how
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: are we going to remake the magic of twenty years ago?
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: You were remaking the magic of like six months ago.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It was like you were It was so fresh, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: that super comes across.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: That's a great example of that of what it was.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: We weren't recreating the magic of fifteen years ago. We
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: were recreating the magic that we've been that we captured
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: while making this podcast, you know what I mean, Like
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: it's it's still the same thing, but we're looking at
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: it through a different through different That's a great way
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to look at it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Joelle, you guys also modernized. I feel like
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: there are there are some key but important changes. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: think people will be delighted by what you guys have
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: done with the todd like it. It's a little different,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: it's a little the same. It's it's but it's it's.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: As we often said the show, we were like, well
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that would just not fly. Today, now flies.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: We added the very brilliant everything she says is funny.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Vanessa Bayer as an HR woman rules so good.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to ruin anything about the show,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: but no, don't ruin interaction. I will say a word
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: every one of her interactions, I.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Said, I said to Donald. I turned to Donald after
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: she had just landed like seven jokes in a row.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And you know how like Family Manners, Family Matters wasn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: built around rkle. You know, they like like they made
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Rkele the star of the show. I was like, Vanessa
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Bay is going to fucking rkle me on this show.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: This show is going to become about an HR woman
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: at the hospital.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: She's so amazing. Man, But everybody from x Mayo to
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Michael James Scott.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: You're going too fast. So we have this. I think
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it can be helpful if you're listening to this before
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you watch the show. We can introduce some of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: new characters and I don't want everyone. Well, let's just
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: start with that. So we have Michael James Scott and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the comedian whose name is X Mio. Am I saying
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: her last name right, I think it's x Mayo. They
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: played two nurses who are always next to each other,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and they're charged nurses who are sort of the head
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of the shift for nurses, and the two of them
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: together are so incredibly talented. She's a comic and he
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: has been on Broadway for a long time. He's been
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: playing the genie in Aladdin. And the two of them
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: together are just the funniest pair. And it's really smart
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: because we wanted to feature some more nurses other than
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Judy Reyis and Slash Carla this time around, because nurses
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: are such an important part of the story, and these
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: two being the charge nurses gave us a funny way
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: into sort of the nurse side of things.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: They're amazing the X if You if You, if you
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: haven't seen X and any We talked about wonder Man earlier.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: She plays the agent and wonder Man. She was in
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: a Freaky or Friday. The sequel to Freaky Friday. Like,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: she's in a lot of things right now, but we
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: also are very lucky to have her on Scrubs. Uh
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And so you know those two, those three Vanessa, Michael,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: and X they're there. They're reoccurring roles. We haven't even
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: gotten into the meat and potatoes with the new regular
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: cast yet.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we want to say right off that we
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: have Joel Kim Booster, who Yes, I love Joe k Booster,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: very funny comedian, an actor and uh an improvert. He
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: improvised some of those jokes in the pilot that was
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: just when he says, uh, oh, I don't want to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: ruin them ship.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Don't you don't.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I know, it's so hard.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: There's so much stuff want to be like at this moment,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: at this moment, in this mind.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't want to do that. I don't want
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to That's that's not what we're here to do today.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Guys. No, no, no, no.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Casey has to say something.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Zacha love you, Zach.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I know, Casey, go back to listen. Joel Kim Booster
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: is playing in another attending at the hospital who very
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: much would like to be the chief of medicine and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Uh another Park, another protege of doctor Cox in the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: intervening years that JD has been gone. And then we
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: have five interns because the show is about a teaching hospital,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: so you have to have someone that's being taught, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: so there's many interns obviously in the hospital, but we're
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: focusing on three medical and two surgical interns. Donald, would
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you like to talk about your surgical interns first introduce
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the audience to them.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: So we have my surgical interns played by Amanda Morrow
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and Laila Mohammadi. They play uh. They play Amanda plays
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: uh Dashanna and La and Laila plays Amara, and they
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: are a lot of fun to work with. To be
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: honest with you, I get the luxury of working with
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: two of all of our young castmates are very funny,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: but these two are very, very energetic and have a
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: lot of spark. And Amanda kinda reminds me of myself
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: when we first started the show, and so I find myself,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: you know, fighting for her to have more to say
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: because she's so good and you know, Leyla, she doesn't
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: miss a beat. She's very talented, like she nails every
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: joke and when she doesn't nail the joke. She's very
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: inquisitive and asks questions on how she can All of
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: them like that, All of the young kids, I can't
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: speak for. I'm not gonna speak for Zach's medical team,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: but all of but I can't say all of them.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: They would show up to set when they didn't have work.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: They were very interested in learning about what we were doing.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, we got very very lucky because we
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: could have got nightmares and instead we got freaking, amazing,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: amazing young talented actors and actresses. And I'm really excited
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: for I'm really, I'm sorry, last thing. I'm really excited
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: for where their lives, how their lives are going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: change in the next week or two.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with Donald. You know, we searched everywhere
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: for these young people, all over the world, in fact,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: because we found one of them in the UK. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they're just so talented and lovely. And I said to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: them early on, I said, you know, when I was
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: your age, I really took advantage of this opportunity, not
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: just as an actor, but I sat by the monitors
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and I asked questions and I said, I am I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: am happy to teach you anything you want to know
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: about production. So if you want to sit by the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: monitors even when you're not working, and ask me questions,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: or ask whomever is directing questions, ask the producers questions.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And they all took me up on it. They would
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: be wrapped and be hanging out and asking questions. One
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: day they all brought little notebooks. It was so cute.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: They were like taking notes. They're just really sweet people.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And what's crazy is that Ava and I'm going to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: tell you about and Amanda, who Donald just told you about,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: are twenty five years old. So when we when Scrubs aired,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: they were born.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I don't even know. I don't even I don't uh yeah, yeah,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you're right, Yeah, you're right. They were just born.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: They were just born. And they were born in two thousand.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So on the medical side, we have Ava Button, who
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: she's just so fucking funny. She just graduated USC. She's
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: vary into sketch comedy. She's very funny, improper, she does
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of sketch improv stuff. She's always performing, got
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of hustle in her and she plays sort
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of a very skilled doctor but also one of these
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: doctors who is an influencer, and I don't want people
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to be worried, like, don't worry. We don't go down
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a whole influencer, you know, laying too much. But it
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: is a thing that some people are able to offset
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: their medical costs by influencing and showing like here's what
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the intern experience is like, and they make money and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: offset the cost of all their loans. And so she's
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: sort of representing one of a person who does that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: And then we have David Gridley, incredible actor who's playing Blake.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: He is older, he's thirty five. We wanted to represent
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that not all interns come right from college.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people take a circuitous route to get there, which
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is something we never a story we never told on
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the OG scrubs. He's very handsome and everyone keeps talking
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about how handsome he is, including JD and doctor Cox.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: They're both lost in his eyes. Interestingly, I cast him
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: on Bill's new show with Steve Carell called a Rooster,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: which is coming out on HBO, and he was so
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: good on that, and he was a small part. He
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was playing a bartender in a couple of scenes, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I loved him and Bill loved him, and Bill kept
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: casting him and when he read for this, Bill was
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: also considering him for a part on Bad Monkey and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we were kind of talking like and Bill was like,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: are you guys gonna take him or not? Because I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: love this guy. He's a star. And we were like, no, no, no,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: don't take him for Bad Monkey. We want him for Scrubs.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And Bill was like, you know what, I really believe
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: in this guy and he'll have a much bigger, better
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: part on Scrubs. Want I want to put him on Scrubs.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: So that's and it's just a really amazing story because
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he's the nicest guy. He's got two kids, he's his
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: life is just completely All these kids' lives were just
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: completely changed. But he in particular, I smiled because he's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: got two kids and having quite a moment. And then
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and then lastly is uh Jacob, who uh plays uh
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: uh ashure and English in turn, and we give you backstory.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: We give we give you backstory eventions about why there's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: an English kid there. But that allowed us to also
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: have some fun storytelling about the American healthcare system with
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: all its problems, because you have someone who can come
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in and say I know the NHS isn't perfect, but
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: this is crazy. You people go broke when they get sick.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, having the perspective of someone who has grown
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: up with universal health care come into the American system,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we thought could be really interesting. And not to mention,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: he's very charming and Hugh Granty.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Has some great lines, really fun like speaks to a
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: certain kind of person who I won't say, but like
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: definitely relatable for people who you know, might feel a
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: certain way in hospitals, I'll put it that way.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So that's our cast, the core cast of the of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the New Bunch.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: But then we still bring back wonderful h you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: of the wonderful original cast members like hooches back, you
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: know the back. Yeah, is there anyone else?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Judy Rays?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Judy Rays is not She's She's Judy Rays.

  Speaker 1: Judy Rays is the Queen of ABC because she's also
• 28:42

  Speaker 3: Johnny's on and Johnny's on our show too. But he's
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: he's he's a recurring role also because he's on a

  Speaker 1: Bill's new show with Steve Carrell on HBO called Rooster.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So but Johnny's on the show a bunch too. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: don't I don't want to get away too much to fans,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't want you to panic when you see
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: him go away. I promise you he comes back. And
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: we also have Neil Flynn, and we have Christa Miller

  Speaker 1: that we promised we were keeping it going with some
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: really good uh tunes. How fun is that? Is that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: without spoiling anything, that cue at the end of the pilot,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: with that Donald initiates just perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect perfect.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I's got up and dance a little. It was excellent. Yep.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Mm.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: What was it like for you guys to be back
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: on set and stepping back into these roles, like it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: been a while. You have been revisiting with the podcast
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: and we did some bits, but you guys. You know
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't fully stepped into the the JD interrals for
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: quite some time. How did it come back naturally? Was
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: there some effort and work into getting back into it,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: because again we couldn't tell. We were like, it feels
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: like no time has passed at all.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Literally, it was just like the next episode.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That's so good to hear from you, guys, But I
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: It was easy. It was easy to step back in it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: For me, I didn't have to do that much. All
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I had to do was show up, you know what
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, Like sincerely, I had to just prepare and
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: show up. Zach had all of the work to you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: he wrote, he directed, he eped, like he did things
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be honest with you. I was looking
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: at him like, wow, dude, thank you because if you
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: weren't here right now, I don't know how much of
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: this I'd be like, this is great. You know. He
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: made it so it was. He made it so it
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: was easy for everyone to come back and work. You
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. He probably sacrificed. He probably sacrificed
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of his own happiness in doing so.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: But I did thank you for saying that no, it
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: was hard. I'm not gonna lie. It was really hard,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and I was so committed to giving the audience something good.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I just was like, you know what, it's nine episodes.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it all on the field. I'm going
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to eat, sleep, drink, scrubs, and I'm not gonna settle
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: until these scripts are great, until we got the right cast,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: until we until the set is perfect. I just just
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: all I did was was work on this, and I
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: never left when I when I wasn't directing and I
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the scene, I still stayed for every single
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: take until wee hours of the night because I was
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: wanted it to be great. And I don't know if
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I can do that if we get another season and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: it's a big order because this was only nine, but
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I thought for nine, I'm gonna just go I'm this
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: is I'm gonna go all in. I'm all in.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited because you do. You directed the pilot,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: which is called oh Zach's Zach's an Action. There was
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: a shot when the episode switch is to super dramatic.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is a Zach shot. I'm feeling hiss
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: all over the place this crazy. I'm curious. In the show,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you guys are leaders and teachers and uh, Zach, you
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: were just talking about teaching on set when you guys
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: are sort of crafting these the role for the like interns. Okay,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Usually when a show comes back, the new cast is
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: like a mirror of the old cast. You know what
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. It's like, Okay, well we had a jock
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and a dork. No, so this is completely totally so like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: where did like these characters come come? Because we were
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: talking about they're so like distinct and different from what
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: we've known in the hospital before, I think.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely credit to a seem Batra and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Tim Holbert who and Bill who really broke the story
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of what the pilot would be. But I definitely didn't.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Every time I saw an audition that was like, oh,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: he's trying to be young JD. I went the other way.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't want that. I didn't want I
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: sort of cringed at that. You know, there's there's a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: lot of history of these revivals where you can kind
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: of see where things went well or poorly. And one
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: thing I was really aware of is I don't want
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to just be nostalgia porn. I don't want to just
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: be like remember when, Remember when? Remember when? That I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do. And I also didn't want to go,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: oh my god, it's young JD. It's young Turk, because
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that just feels just cringing to me personally. So and
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: then I was really we were really clear, like what
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: do people want. Well, they want the story of community
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and friendship and of course this romance that people love
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it at the center of it. You know, we even
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: address it in the pilot about the male loneliness epidemic
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that we spoke with Scott Galloway was on here talking
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: about if you remember, and we really thought like we
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: should leave into that people are lonesome and this is
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: really about people who happen to be doing the most
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: noble job in the world saving lives, but and it's
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: so hard, and they people die, and they have they
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: have the ups and downs of working in a hospital,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: and they really need friendship and they really need community,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: and they really need laughter. And so that that was
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of like the core of like what we were going
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to try and bring back from the OG show.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: It did come back, and it was like really wonderful,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and again I did cry. After the end of the pilot,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, so, you know, there's some emotional twists
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: and turns in there where I was like, thank God,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: this is happening this way like it was, I was
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: felt uplifted. I also felt uplifted when I saw Turk
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and Karla back together, my OG favorite couple. Uh so,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: sorry to go full interviewer mode, but donald like, can
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you talk a little bit about getting back with Judy
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: because again, y'all are so cute. I felt love where
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the relationship is at. I don't want to spoil it,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: but you learn more about their family and I was like,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: this is exact what I hope for Turk.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It's so cute.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that was the That was the one
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: phone call I made after I heard Zach, myself, and
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Sarah were signed on. I called Judy immediately like, Yo,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: are you doing this? And she was like, we're working
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: it out, and I was like, because there's a lot
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: to play with here. There's so much to play with here.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of untold story that we can tell.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: And you know what I mean it, you know, it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: great to do stuff with Zach and stuff like that.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: But you know, Turk's other identity, another part of his
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: identity is everything that's happened with Carla throughout the throughout
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: the nine seasons, And so that was the first thing
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I did, was made sure that she was aware and
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: if she was coming back. I needed to know because
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: there's just too much to play with, you know what
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, And when and of course you know, when
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: she comes back in it's like peas and carrots. It's
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: the same thing with Turk and JD or j D
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: and Elliott. It's it just you know, we played the
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: characters for so long, and we worked in that hospital
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: for so long that it's really hard not to fall
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: back into habit because the habit was for nine years,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: And they really represent a couple who just is so
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: in love, you know, we see, you know, for the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: sake of drama and comedy on shows, there's always so
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: much there's very often so much friction between couples. It's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: fun to see a couple represented that's just absolutely head
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: over heels and love for each other after all of
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: these years, and they have four kids together now, yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: You know, but it's a true story. We all hear
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: everything on television ends in, you know, with something bad,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Turk and Carla, I feel
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: like that's the true love story. That's a real love story.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: That's the story that you know, I aspire my life
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: to be like with my wife. You know, I have
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: a very controlling wife who is very who demands quite
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: a bit from me, and I try to deliver, and
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: it's you know, it's okay, enough enough, all right, enough,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: already enough. We just started fuck your sound machines.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: You haven't gone why. That's how That's how I feel
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: when I see your guys faces. You haven't gone why?
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Anyway, My point is, my point is you're right, Joel,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Turk and Cala are the cutest couple ever to grace television,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: and yes it only it own and probably the best
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: couple to ever grace television. And it only makes sense
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: for that love to show through in the revival and.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: To like when you shoot them as a couple, as
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the director, you just there's absolutely nothing forced about it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: They look like a real couple. They're just so comfortable,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you know, they had nine years of doing it. They're
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: just so comfortable with each other.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no, you know, I remember they were like,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: they were like, we're gonna have an intimacy coordinator on set,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: and I was like, for me and Judy Fuss, really
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: we need that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's twenty twenty six, you got to have that.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: We also have an amazing crew. I got to say
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: shout outs to this amazing crew. And the medical advisors
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: are so helpful to us because we just like you know,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: we used to do. We're very, very committed to getting
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: all the medicine right. And every time we do something,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: you know, we look to them and say, was that right?
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Does that look real? And like absolutely, but maybe you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: put your left hand here a little bit more. So
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: everything is just you know, choreographed, particularly the stuff that's
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: more intense than others. We rehearse with with everyone, so
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: we get the choreography of it. So it's so no,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: so no doctor or nurse could say that's not that's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: not how it would be. It would be exactly like that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we probably look like we probably look like you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Lipp keep playing basketball and like Mike, you know
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: what I mean, dribbling with dribbling with one hand. But
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: at least we're dribbling.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I don't get that right, but at least we're dribbling.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Amateur playing a professional sport.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think so, you know, I think you know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: we know. I mean listen, not only do we have
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the advisor standing right there, but we also cut it
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: together so everybody looks like they know there's and you know,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: something we've been doing this season we never did in
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: OG scrubs is sometimes those that's a real trauma nurse,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: you know, will be like in that opening scene you
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: were talking about all those people around, not all those people.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I would say three of the people around that bed
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: were e er traminerses. Really yeah, wow, And that's something
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: we never did before that when you have a super
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: intense moment like that, you can hire they happen to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: be you know, in the union, and you can get
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: real people who do the job and that's cool.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: And again it shows like you could totally see like it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: It felt like a good flow. Can I ask just
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: one more question than I will.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Anything, Joelle? But Joel, before you asked a question, right
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: before I ask the question, what you're.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Trying to get into one day show?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: What you're trying to do?
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, fuck your sound machine.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Wait, let me find that one. That one's deep here.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: It is fuck your sound effects there sound effects machine.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm sorry, Joell my queen.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely fine.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you. You had mentioned earlier that
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: you know, we wanted to keep the real world grounded.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: We're putting all the silliness into the fantasies. And there's
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: if you love a Scrubs fantasy and you started to
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: miss them in the later seasons. They are coming at
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: you like every seeds. You're like, oh, we're in another fantasy.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: We're in another fantasy. And they're so funny and so big.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: It's so over the top. I was like, oh, the
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: budget is here.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: We spent some money, we sent some money. I definitely
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: got a phone call being.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Like what are you doing? I would want to say
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: there was a phone call that was like, YO, calm down, bro,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: and he was from.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: It was actually from Bill being like, what are you
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: doing dude.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: We were like trying. We would look at one point,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to I don't want to spoil anything.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: One point, we were.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Trying to have freaking come. We were trying to have
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: freaking send us.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: That's a spoilers you gotta bleep that, Dan, you gotta
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: bleep that because it doesn't. But by the way, did
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you guys you gotta bleep this to Daniel But you
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: can just bleep while I'm about to say. We do
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a fantasy and it's insane. And that was the one
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: where I got to call a phone call when he
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: must have seen them budget spend on that, and he's like,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: what are you doing?
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it because I thought it
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: was an episode to stunt that I had gotten you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: in trouble. Uh, so I've exacted one that you're going
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: even bigger.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: It gets really fucking big, and then all of a sudden.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Great, it's fun.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: But I wanted an expense.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to clarify to that. I didn't mean that
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: we're not We're still our silly selves in the real world.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I just meant that we keep it. I just keep it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I just keep it. We keep it real. Like Donald
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: and I are very silly people as displayed here, but
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: we exist on Earth in a real world. That's what
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the humor is like. It isn't like, you know, sometimes
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: we have we'll have a moment and we'll shoot it
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and be like you know what, this would never happen
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: like it just feels like something that would be like
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a Disney Channel kids show. Thing that would happen like
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that's such a heightened reality. So we cut those moments
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: and we shape those moments so so it's there's all
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the funniness, there's all the comedy, but but we're doing
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: things that it would happen in real world. No ostriches
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: are stealing kangos.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: We almost we got we got really close. Yeah, that's
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: the thing. We want to keep it there. We got
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: really close to doing some crazy things though, and every
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: time we got every time Bill would be like, absolutely not,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: there's no that's happening.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were definitely things that were so outrageous that
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: even within a fantasy of Bill was like nope, but
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: we certainly laughing about them.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: It good time. I think if you're a fan of
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: the podcast, there's like a little bit of bonus material
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: in the show for you, because you could tell the
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: writers have inside jokes that are just there's a moment,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: not to give anything away, but there's a moment where
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: a character turns to Donald and says, uh, yeah, communicating
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: with me. Just in Star Wars memes is not a
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: form of communication. I was like, oh, this is just
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: them talking to each other. And I was like, I
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: feel like if you listen to the podcast a lot,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: there's an extra layer of in the show for you.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. It didn't make it didn't make the
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: show this year, but we almost had a chore play episode.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: The writers were definitely listening to the podcast. You can
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: see because we'd get we'd get an app, we'd get
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: a script the first draft, and I'd be like, oh,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: this is right from the podcast. This is like Cheorge
• 44:09
