Speaker 1: Eagle up in the sky. J D and Turk just
0:05
Speaker 1: flew by. Take a look, it's in this pod. It's
0:10
Speaker 1: story time now, you guys, Hello, I'm your host today.
0:16
Speaker 1: It's very weird just being here by myself in this room,
0:20
Speaker 1: but I'm super excited because I went on to Twitter
0:24
Speaker 1: and I asked you guys, the fans, what were your
0:28
Speaker 1: favorite stories from the podcast? And you guys hit me
0:31
Speaker 1: up with a ton of stuff, so many options for
0:34
Speaker 1: me to choose from, and so I decided that perhaps
0:38
Speaker 1: one story time wasn't gonna be enough. We were gonna
0:41
Speaker 1: need multiple because there are so many different types of stories.
0:45
Speaker 1: Is that you know? The stories we're gonna do today
0:48
Speaker 1: are about our beginnings, the early times from a lot
0:52
Speaker 1: of our guests as they were just breaking into the industry.
0:55
Speaker 1: We get a ton of letters from you guys who
0:58
Speaker 1: are aspiring actors, direct dir's writers, sort of photographers, animators,
1:03
Speaker 1: and so I kind of wanted to revisit because I
1:05
Speaker 1: remember when I first got to l A and I
1:08
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out what am I gonna do?
1:10
Speaker 1: How am I going to make it out here? It's
1:12
Speaker 1: so expensive, I have only my college experience. Who will
1:16
Speaker 1: hire me, and it was so hard just trying to
1:19
Speaker 1: figure out like how to break in. And I think
1:22
Speaker 1: for me, hearing the stories of people who had already
1:25
Speaker 1: done it is what continuously encouraged me to go after
1:30
Speaker 1: my dreams. And getting to listen to these guys and
1:33
Speaker 1: Sarah Chalk obviously Zack and Donald Johnny C Like, there's
1:38
Speaker 1: rich stories of just survival, of situational comedy, of bonding
1:45
Speaker 1: and love. And I think that's what we're really going
1:47
Speaker 1: to discover today as we go back to some of
1:49
Speaker 1: these really early stories. So stay tuned and let's hear
1:53
Speaker 1: a couple of stories. Five, six, seven, eight, here's some
2:02
Speaker 1: stories about show we made. Doctor Nurses story are so
2:26
Speaker 1: First up, we have a story from Johnny C. This
2:30
Speaker 1: is all the way back in season one, episode sixteen.
2:35
Speaker 1: Um Johnny came and talked to us a lot about
2:38
Speaker 1: what happened around nine eleven the Macy's Day Parade, the
2:42
Speaker 1: first gathering that was allowed in New York City post
2:45
Speaker 1: the attacks. Um, and he gives us such beautiful, wonderful,
2:51
Speaker 1: loving insight to how a lot of the emotions are
2:55
Speaker 1: played throughout scrubs and why downplaying can sometimes be the
3:00
Speaker 1: us thing for an actor or a writer to do
3:02
Speaker 1: if they want to impact their audience, because it feels
3:04
Speaker 1: more authentic and real. Something that strikes me about Johnny
3:08
Speaker 1: C every time he's on the podcast is how much
3:10
Speaker 1: he cares about this art and his craft. If you
3:13
Speaker 1: haven't listened to one sixteen in a while, I highly
3:15
Speaker 1: recommend you go back. It's an excellent episode. There were
3:18
Speaker 1: many stories to pick from, but it couldn't resist hearing
3:22
Speaker 1: Zack talk about his nephew throwing gang signs one more time.
3:26
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for john C. Here we go. We
3:29
Speaker 1: should start right off because I have some ideas. Go ahead, Johnny,
3:35
Speaker 1: go ahead, because you have You guys have to grind this.
3:37
Speaker 1: And I'm so excited that some things occurred to me
3:41
Speaker 1: while I was watching this thing. I love when you
3:44
Speaker 1: come on, you know why, because you come prepared. You're
3:46
Speaker 1: like you're as prepared as Donald and I. You're like,
3:49
Speaker 1: you're wound up. Well I am. I think. Look going
3:52
Speaker 1: back and watching this, first of all, it's hard not
3:56
Speaker 1: to feel really proud of it. Yeah, and this one
4:01
Speaker 1: I thought deserved from backdrop because the one last Week
4:03
Speaker 1: one is a spectacular episode. Zach, you're particularly great in
4:08
Speaker 1: that episode with Sarah and then the monologues with the shrink,
4:11
Speaker 1: let the whole ensemble just shine. And I busted my
4:16
Speaker 1: ass on those monologues because the writing was astonished and
4:20
Speaker 1: you noticed there's no cuts. I mean, we were clearly
4:22
Speaker 1: all told that they yeah, they were, especially since Donald
4:27
Speaker 1: knew it. So we were clearly all told that there
4:29
Speaker 1: would be no cuts. But what I thought was really
4:32
Speaker 1: interesting and maybe interesting for people listening is a little
4:37
Speaker 1: bit of context. And what I mean is because in
4:40
Speaker 1: this episode, it's it became clear to me just how
4:43
Speaker 1: jelled the ensemble is. Whether it's Kenny and Judy, You
4:48
Speaker 1: and me, Zachie, Donald and Sarah, the thing is just
4:52
Speaker 1: water tight. And the reason is because I think now,
4:56
Speaker 1: as we discussed already, nine eleven had already occurred, were
4:59
Speaker 1: around about the middle of December here, and so what
5:04
Speaker 1: happened in New York, which I'll circle this back, was
5:08
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees lost the World Series in seven
5:10
Speaker 1: games to the Arizona Diamondbacks. And the only reason that's
5:14
Speaker 1: relevant is because they lost. There was no ticker Tape
5:18
Speaker 1: parade in New York City, so we were invited to
5:22
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving parade in New York City, and it was
5:26
Speaker 1: the first taste of real rock star for all of
5:29
Speaker 1: us because we worked till Wednesday night until about and
5:34
Speaker 1: this was a week or two before this episode, and
5:37
Speaker 1: then we were whisked off to l a X where
5:40
Speaker 1: we occupied the entire front of first class. There was
5:44
Speaker 1: only one other person. There were only one other that's right,
5:48
Speaker 1: and it was a It was a boy band. It
5:49
Speaker 1: was like, uh, oh Town or something like that. We
5:52
Speaker 1: shared first class. It was the cast of Scrubs and
5:55
Speaker 1: Oh Town. I remember. It might as well have been
5:57
Speaker 1: a private plane it wasn't, but it was first las.
6:00
Speaker 1: It wasn't coach, it was first It wasn't business class,
6:03
Speaker 1: it was first class. And we were going to New
6:05
Speaker 1: York to participate in the Thanksgiving Day parade. Now remember
6:08
Speaker 1: there had been no mass gatherings allowed in New York
6:12
Speaker 1: since that Tuesday morning in September. There's just wasn't allowed.
6:16
Speaker 1: The Yankees were supposed to be there, but they weren't.
6:19
Speaker 1: So we fly overnight, and you guys can chime in,
6:22
Speaker 1: but we fly overnight, we go, we're deposited at some
6:25
Speaker 1: chapel on the Upper West Side somewhere. We didn't even
6:28
Speaker 1: go to the hotel. We just they dropped us off
6:30
Speaker 1: at the freaking parade. We were like lying on the
6:33
Speaker 1: on the ground in the chapel too, And we got
6:37
Speaker 1: sideways on the plane. Yeah, sideways as you do. And
6:46
Speaker 1: and then we we got up and Zachie, I think
6:48
Speaker 1: you brought your nephew onto the float and it was
6:53
Speaker 1: a quasi racist kind of Pocahona's float um and he did,
6:59
Speaker 1: They've gotten, They've got and ridden some of those since then,
7:01
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, But I absolutely I think our well,
7:03
Speaker 1: here's the Scrubs cast and a quasi racist Pocahona's float
7:07
Speaker 1: on the upper west side in the staging area. And
7:10
Speaker 1: who pulls up behind us but the Wiggles in the
7:13
Speaker 1: big red car. Now I had gone to Wiggles concerts
7:17
Speaker 1: with my son every time they're in Los Angeles for
7:20
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I was eating, sleeping, and
7:22
Speaker 1: drinking the Wiggles. So I got off the float and
7:25
Speaker 1: I went back to the big Red car and introduced
7:27
Speaker 1: myself to Murray and Jeff, and I introduced myself to everybody,
7:31
Speaker 1: and I became friends with the Wiggles, and I am
7:34
Speaker 1: to this day. Do you hang out with the Wiggles.
7:36
Speaker 1: Still not really, but I did a video for them,
7:39
Speaker 1: and I they became my friends. There. My memory started
7:43
Speaker 1: interrupt one second, Johnny. My memory is that my nephew
7:46
Speaker 1: was a very outspoken kid and not shy at all.
7:51
Speaker 1: And I don't know how old he was, but he
7:52
Speaker 1: was little, and we wanted to be like nine, dude,
7:55
Speaker 1: no younger and younger younger. Here's a little kid, And
7:58
Speaker 1: so Al Roke we're off the flow at one point
8:00
Speaker 1: and Al Roker's interviewing us, and he goes, and I'm
8:02
Speaker 1: here with the cast of Scrubs and I've got Johnny
8:04
Speaker 1: c McGinley and Donald Fazon is going around introducing the
8:07
Speaker 1: whole cast and my nephen live television. And my nephew goes,
8:11
Speaker 1: what about me? And Al Roker? It's awkward, and Al
8:17
Speaker 1: Roker ignores him and starts so tell us about the show.
8:20
Speaker 1: Guy interrupts him again, what about me? And finally Al
8:27
Speaker 1: feels bad enough that he's like, oh, I'm sorry, young man,
8:30
Speaker 1: you're right, and what's your name? And then he introduces himself.
8:33
Speaker 1: But I was like, it was my first throwing gang
8:35
Speaker 1: signs to like he didn't he didn't, he didn't know
8:39
Speaker 1: any like real gang signs, but he had seen on
8:42
Speaker 1: TV how how how rappers and whomever throw gang signs.
8:45
Speaker 1: So we're on the float and he's like throwing these
8:47
Speaker 1: like almost gang signs. When I when I spoke to
8:52
Speaker 1: Al Roker after after he cut, I said, how how
8:57
Speaker 1: is this for a turnout? And he said, this will
8:59
Speaker 1: be the largest and out in the history of the
9:00
Speaker 1: Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. And I said, well, give me
9:02
Speaker 1: an estimate, and he said, they'll be about three and
9:04
Speaker 1: a half million people here. And so every time we
9:06
Speaker 1: went through an intersection, and I'll wrap the story up
9:09
Speaker 1: in a minute, but every time we went down an intersection,
9:12
Speaker 1: you could see it was a hundred to two hundred
9:15
Speaker 1: people deep at every intersection. I've never seen that many people.
9:19
Speaker 1: I never will in my life. Yeah, it was that was.
9:22
Speaker 1: I remember being like, wow, there are so many people here,
9:25
Speaker 1: and we were on the float and every You're right,
9:28
Speaker 1: every time we passed an intersection it looked like it
9:31
Speaker 1: went so deep into the intersection. I remember thinking, how
9:35
Speaker 1: are all of these people? It was like sardines too,
9:38
Speaker 1: like they were packed together because nobody had been allowed
9:42
Speaker 1: nobody had been allowed to gather since that Tuesday. And
9:45
Speaker 1: the other thing I remember is that my nephew was
9:47
Speaker 1: was on the float and he I thought, oh, this
9:49
Speaker 1: will be fun for him. He was he was bored
9:51
Speaker 1: in thirty seconds, right, and I was like, oh funk,
9:53
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of this kid for a whole parade. Yeah,
9:56
Speaker 1: we had to. It's all the way from Uptown, all
9:58
Speaker 1: the way to Macy and he's thrown to stay gang
10:00
Speaker 1: signs for a while. And then he got bored of that.
10:02
Speaker 1: And then there was like an upstairs in the float.
10:04
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was like it was like
10:06
Speaker 1: in Pocahona's head or something. Well know, it was a
10:08
Speaker 1: multi tiered ship that yeah, but even like in the
10:12
Speaker 1: in the in the non outside area, there was some
10:15
Speaker 1: spot he found and then he went up there and
10:17
Speaker 1: he found bubble wrap and I was like, okay, fucking
10:19
Speaker 1: bubble wrap will entertain him for a little while. Then
10:22
Speaker 1: he got over the but he was stopping on the
10:23
Speaker 1: bubble wrap and I was like, this is I'm never
10:25
Speaker 1: having kids, this is like the worst. What about my
10:31
Speaker 1: My only point bringing this up and I'll circle it back,
10:35
Speaker 1: was that. And also remember a couple of weeks earlier,
10:38
Speaker 1: actually about a month earlier, we had been picked up
10:40
Speaker 1: for the back nine, and we ran around the hospital
10:43
Speaker 1: with their HUDs cut off, and so that meant you
10:46
Speaker 1: had paychecks until May the first week of right or so,
10:51
Speaker 1: because in TV you only get paid for episodes produced,
10:54
Speaker 1: and so they just you know, it just let's explain
10:56
Speaker 1: to people who don't know the show was was picked
10:59
Speaker 1: up for the first thirteen episodes, and they kind of
11:02
Speaker 1: see how you do in the ratings, and then if
11:05
Speaker 1: you do well enough in the ratings, you get the
11:06
Speaker 1: rest of the order, which which is in in in
11:10
Speaker 1: in business talk is called the back nine, meaning you
11:12
Speaker 1: get the get nine more episodes. And we have been
11:15
Speaker 1: given that news about a month earlier, and we ran
11:17
Speaker 1: around the hospital like we've won the Stanley Cuppers, I remember.
11:22
Speaker 1: And my only point in this is that between getting
11:24
Speaker 1: picked up and now about fifteen or sixteen episodes into it,
11:28
Speaker 1: and I can see it in this episode as well
11:31
Speaker 1: discuss but the ensemble is water tight, whether it meant
11:35
Speaker 1: going on a trip together or getting picked up, people
11:38
Speaker 1: are starting to vibe off each other. And it's as
11:40
Speaker 1: clear as day when I was watching it. It's just
11:43
Speaker 1: what Donald and Sarah are doing as you guys know.
11:47
Speaker 1: I think the camera is an X ray machine and
11:48
Speaker 1: it sees through all the bullshit and what they're doing together,
11:52
Speaker 1: there's zero bullshit. And what Zak is doing at the
11:55
Speaker 1: end with Sarah in that in that on that cot,
11:59
Speaker 1: there's no bullshit. It's it's just tight and right. And
12:03
Speaker 1: I just got a chill. It just it really got me.
12:07
Speaker 1: You gave me a chill too, because I gotta tell
12:08
Speaker 1: I didn't remember in that scene with Sarah what happened.
12:11
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was going to turn romantic.
12:13
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I cried. I couldn't remember. And
12:16
Speaker 1: I was actually moved by the two of us because
12:19
Speaker 1: nothing happens like I agree, I agree like like you,
12:23
Speaker 1: like would happen in real life. You know, in the movies,
12:26
Speaker 1: we'd kiss. In the movies, I break down and cry,
12:29
Speaker 1: but in real life two friends might just sit there
12:31
Speaker 1: in silence for a minute. And I just thought that
12:33
Speaker 1: was beautifully done. I think it's the real privilege of
12:36
Speaker 1: friendship when nothing does happen so that I don't have
12:40
Speaker 1: to demonstrate to you anything and you don't have to
12:42
Speaker 1: demonstrate anything to me, And real friendship is when stuff
12:46
Speaker 1: is allowed, and it's a tricky verb to settle, and
12:50
Speaker 1: you guys let it settle in front of the lens
12:52
Speaker 1: and as well discussed Will mackenzie. He just let the
12:55
Speaker 1: scene play and the two actors. It's really lovely and
12:59
Speaker 1: on a prime time comedy, it's spectacular. It's spectacular. Now
13:04
Speaker 1: we've been greased by the presence of many stars one
13:07
Speaker 1: scot Folly, Heather Graham has been on the show. No
13:11
Speaker 1: shortage of a list celebrities. But there's something extra special
13:15
Speaker 1: when Terror Reid showed up, and that's because she went
13:18
Speaker 1: to high school with Donald. So we got to hear
13:20
Speaker 1: about Donald's first encounter with Moonshine, a shootout at his
13:25
Speaker 1: first apartment in l a and what happens when you
13:28
Speaker 1: fall asleep on the set of Clueless. Here's Terry Read
13:31
Speaker 1: telling us all of Donald's juicy gossip. I believe that,
13:35
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, I remember three things in my life
13:39
Speaker 1: that are very important in my life and you're part
13:42
Speaker 1: of two of them. Right before you go into this,
13:44
Speaker 1: because this is gonna be juicy, that's a tease for
13:46
Speaker 1: the audience. We're gonna say a quick break and we'll
13:48
Speaker 1: be right back with the terror read two things in
14:01
Speaker 1: my life, two things in my life that are really
14:03
Speaker 1: big moments in my life and important moments in my life,
14:06
Speaker 1: and Tara is a part of it. My first time
14:08
Speaker 1: ever falling asleep on set was on the Clueless set, right,
14:12
Speaker 1: fell asleep and we were doing the party scene, show
14:15
Speaker 1: the movie the movie, And to fall asleep on a
14:19
Speaker 1: set you gotta be really brave. But maybe I wasn't
14:22
Speaker 1: in Clueless. I know you weren't in Clueless, but you
14:24
Speaker 1: showed up at the party scene. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
14:29
Speaker 1: remember up. So I'm sleeping on a freaking like a
14:34
Speaker 1: chair and we're shooting the movie and somebody said should
14:39
Speaker 1: wake up? And I opened my eyes and Tara standing
14:42
Speaker 1: in front of me, standing over me, and I'm like,
14:44
Speaker 1: what the funk are you doing here? And I was like,
14:48
Speaker 1: holy shit, right and and it was a big moment
14:50
Speaker 1: for me because it takes it. You gotta have trust
14:53
Speaker 1: to fall asleep on a set, first of all, because
14:54
Speaker 1: people will fun with you one too. It was a
14:58
Speaker 1: big moment because it was it was my big break
15:00
Speaker 1: and it was a huge movie and I knew at
15:02
Speaker 1: this point, I didn't know it was gonna be huge,
15:05
Speaker 1: But I knew that I was in Los Angeles and
15:07
Speaker 1: I made it, and my one friend that had made
15:09
Speaker 1: it in Los Angeles is waking me up on set,
15:12
Speaker 1: and I was like, holy ship, this is serendipitous. This
15:14
Speaker 1: is this has to be this is this has to
15:17
Speaker 1: be uh, this has to be fat. And she's going
15:21
Speaker 1: to give me some of that big Lebowski juice, some
15:24
Speaker 1: of that juice, some of that, some of that, some
15:26
Speaker 1: of that, some of that. Can I tell him? Can
15:28
Speaker 1: I tell him the story about being in your apartment
15:31
Speaker 1: when with the gun shooting? Oh God, So I go
15:37
Speaker 1: over to me, like Donald, let me go to his house.
15:40
Speaker 1: And it's just me and Hammer hanging out. It's more
15:42
Speaker 1: than just me and you. It's me, you and some
15:45
Speaker 1: of the casts from the Mickey Mouse Club. Like I
15:47
Speaker 1: don't know how it turned out to be this. We
15:49
Speaker 1: were hanging out with like Chase Hampton and Damon from
15:52
Speaker 1: the Mickey Mouse Club and it was like those two
15:55
Speaker 1: and a couple of other people and were at my
15:58
Speaker 1: house in Hollywood and I had just moved all famous
16:00
Speaker 1: actors at the time. I just moved to Los Angeles.
16:04
Speaker 1: Let her tell the story, don't hijack it, all right,
16:05
Speaker 1: go ahead, Tara. So we go to his house and
16:08
Speaker 1: we're hanging out and we're all having fun, and then
16:10
Speaker 1: all of a sudden and Nora in front of his
16:15
Speaker 1: house and and Don was like duck. We're all laying
16:20
Speaker 1: on the ground like like it was the scariest we've
16:23
Speaker 1: ever seen. And all of a sudden he knew what
16:25
Speaker 1: to do. He's like duck, lay in the ground. And
16:27
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, after the shots, he's crawling
16:30
Speaker 1: like towards the window to peek through because we didn't
16:33
Speaker 1: know it was right in front of his building. So
16:35
Speaker 1: we're peeking through if they're gone or not, you know.
16:37
Speaker 1: And and we after that we laid on the floor
16:40
Speaker 1: and all of us laughed so hard because we couldn't
16:42
Speaker 1: believe what just happened. They were still alive, all right.
16:47
Speaker 1: She left a couple of parts out tower. So we're
16:50
Speaker 1: hanging out and somebody goes, yo, this is a really
16:53
Speaker 1: dangerous neighborhood. I'm like, get the funk out of here.
16:55
Speaker 1: This is not a dangerous neighborhood. I'm from a dangerous neighborhood.
16:58
Speaker 1: This isn't a dangerous I'm from Hell's kitchen. I'm from
17:00
Speaker 1: right up from Hell's kitchen. Everybody get down. So we
17:05
Speaker 1: get on the ground. And now I'm on the ground
17:07
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at Tara, and Tara's bawling, crying, and
17:10

Speaker 1: my window. Dude, Uh yeah, laughing so hard that this
17:51
Speaker 1: the story doesn't have uh climactic ending other than the
17:55

Speaker 1: survived to drive by and you didn't get tar red killed,
18:03
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I got it to get tied wasn't
18:05

19:15
Speaker 1: We're all drinking, and she goes, yo, you want to

Speaker 1: I'll try it. And I try it and I sip
19:48
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, I'm tell you something right now.
19:50
Speaker 1: After I sipped, I don't remember much of what happened
19:54
Speaker 1: to the rest of the time. I remember Taras showing us.
19:58
Speaker 1: I remember you doing your a school cheerleading stuff in
20:01
Speaker 1: front of all of us to show us that I
20:03
Speaker 1: remember that. I remember falling asleep on the floor, uh,
20:08
Speaker 1: and waking up the next morning and taking the bus
20:10
Speaker 1: or trying one of those things back to Manhattan. But
20:14
Speaker 1: it was my first time and and my only time
20:16
Speaker 1: ever trying first. It got me. It got All I
20:22
Speaker 1: know is I don't remember much. I just remember falling
20:24
Speaker 1: asleep on the floor. It's like those things. It's like
20:26
Speaker 1: when you watch movies and it's like, you know, it
20:29
Speaker 1: shows you moments in a person's life as they're watching
20:32
Speaker 1: it flash before their eyes and it blacks out, and
20:34
Speaker 1: then it comes back and it's something different, and then
20:36
Speaker 1: it blacks out and then it comes back and it's
20:38
Speaker 1: something different. I have two memories. One of them is
20:40
Speaker 1: Tarry doing going like rah rah, and then the other
20:47
Speaker 1: and then the other one is passing out on the floor,
20:49
Speaker 1: looking over and seeing everybody on the floor knocked out
20:52
Speaker 1: and then just passing out. Yeah. This is called a
20:55
Speaker 1: young teenage boy tries moonshine for the first time. Great
21:00
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of my most memorable moments.
21:03
Speaker 1: Tara Reid has a few of them. One more time
21:06
Speaker 1: for the Fact List, Terry read, sometimes when we don't
21:11
Speaker 1: have guests the guys, as you know as a loyal listener,
21:16
Speaker 1: I have just moments that are beyond the pale, moments
21:21
Speaker 1: that really illuminate who they are as individuals, what makes
21:25
Speaker 1: their friendship click, what makes them shine as individuals. And
21:29
Speaker 1: we got a great request to see we listen to
21:35
Speaker 1: Donald and Zach talking about their encounters with Mariah Carey.
21:39
Speaker 1: To be honest, I totally forgot about this story. I'm

Speaker 1: whether it be, it's just such a hopeful song, you
23:29
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We've spent this whole, this whole

24:21
Speaker 1: really good voiceover performances it was, but that song. First

Speaker 1: of all, it was Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston singing it.
24:34
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you were big Mariah Carry

25:56
Speaker 1: just the roof, all right. Well listen, I elevator broke
26:00
Speaker 1: in this building in Brooklyn and all the p a
26:02
Speaker 1: s had to lug all the gear up to the roof,
26:04
Speaker 1: and I was like to help her up. Her next
26:06
Speaker 1: song is called lobby Anyway, I got you you being
26:18
Speaker 1: a good dad? Could you have some really good dad jokes?
26:20
Speaker 1: That I am going to be a great dad, but
26:25
Speaker 1: not because of my jokes. Just because I'm hilarious. Listen.
26:29
Speaker 1: Before the elevator broke, I got in with Mariah and
26:31
Speaker 1: her whole posse and I was just the p A
26:33
Speaker 1: and I had a baseball hat and I looked away, like,
26:35
Speaker 1: you know, I thought you were finding I was fresh
26:37
Speaker 1: out of Yeah. I just thought you don't look at
26:40
Speaker 1: the star. I just look away. And she was like,
26:43
Speaker 1: I like your baseball hat. It was my favorite baseball hat.
26:46
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, thank you, thank you, like
26:47
Speaker 1: not making eye contact, like bobbing my head, and she
26:50
Speaker 1: was like, I might want to wear that in the video.
26:53
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh okay, and she's like to
26:56
Speaker 1: kind of borrow it, and I was like, oh yeah,
26:58
Speaker 1: so her like ento, she took my baseball hat and
27:01
Speaker 1: it had like a red circle on it, and they
27:03
Speaker 1: came back to me and they were like, hey, we
27:06
Speaker 1: want to darken the red circle with sharpie. Is that okay?
27:09
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, it's kind of my favorite hat.
27:11
Speaker 1: But I don't want to let down Mariah, let down
27:14
Speaker 1: the whole team. You know. I just lugged everything up
27:16
Speaker 1: to the roof. I want the video to be good,
27:18
Speaker 1: you know, this is what I was thinking. And they're like,
27:20
Speaker 1: we'll give you forty dollars if you'll let us darken
27:23
Speaker 1: the red circle with sharpie. And I was like, I
27:26
Speaker 1: didn't have any money. I was probably making a hundred
27:28
Speaker 1: bucks to be the p A. I was like, gonna,
27:31
Speaker 1: you know, increase my salary substantially. So I was like, yeah,
27:34
Speaker 1: for forty bucks, y'all can just go to nuts on
27:36
Speaker 1: it with a sharpie and I'll just have a great story.
27:38
Speaker 1: So that's what happened. And I don't even I watched
27:41
Speaker 1: the video in twenty years, but she's on the roof.
27:45
Speaker 1: I know she's on the roof at any and if
27:48
Speaker 1: at any point, I gotta see if at any point, anyone, anyone,
27:51
Speaker 1: anyone who's curious, just go watch the video and see
27:54
Speaker 1: if she's ever wearing a black baseball cap, because that's mine.
27:58
Speaker 1: I got forty bucks extra. That was a hard shoot, Okay,
28:05
Speaker 1: So by far, this was our most requested story. It
28:09
Speaker 1: is the Jeff Sucker noggie story from the upfronts right
28:15
Speaker 1: after they shot the pilot, where they go back and
28:19
Speaker 1: remember the time that Tonald gave a nuggie to the
28:22
Speaker 1: president of the production company. Uh, not a great look.
28:26
Speaker 1: Not a great look. But a funny story that to
28:30
Speaker 1: this day, to this day, it's quoted in this lovely
28:35
Speaker 1: friendship that we all get to be a part of
28:37
Speaker 1: because of Fake Doctor's real friends. But what I discovered
28:41
Speaker 1: upon re listening is there's also like these really beautiful gems.
28:45
Speaker 1: For example, I really like when Zex starts talking about
28:48
Speaker 1: going back to the hotel room to rewatch the pilot,
28:51
Speaker 1: which is of course such a nerdy thing to do,
28:53
Speaker 1: but it's so sweet and innocent. It's just look at
28:55
Speaker 1: this thing we made, and look, it's here, and it's ours,
28:58
Speaker 1: and people are excited to watch it. And I think
29:00
Speaker 1: if you're an artist, in a person who creates anything
29:03
Speaker 1: that they're going to share, whether that's you know, a
29:06
Speaker 1: beautiful cake, you're a fun T shirt or you know whatever,
29:11
Speaker 1: that's the best part is like getting to give it
29:13
Speaker 1: to other people and seeing their reactions. Um, and of
29:16
Speaker 1: course celebrating with people who made it with you. So
29:19
Speaker 1: please enjoy this early story of early fame from Zack
29:23
Speaker 1: and Donald. Donald. You pointed out something very wise, and
29:29
Speaker 1: that is that you know, when you do a pilot,
29:31
Speaker 1: you shoot the pilot and then you have no idea
29:34
Speaker 1: if the show is gonna get picked up, And there's
29:36
Speaker 1: often a lot of time between when you shot the
29:39
Speaker 1: pilot and then let's say the network says, Okay, we're
29:42
Speaker 1: gonna make it a series, and then you go and
29:44
Speaker 1: you you go to a thing called the upfronts, which
29:47
Speaker 1: is when your show is selected. You go to a
29:49
Speaker 1: huge party in New York City where they announced where
29:52
Speaker 1: the network is going to announce all of the new shows.
29:56
Speaker 1: And this is a very thrilling thing for a young actor,
29:58
Speaker 1: absolutely and all. So when Scrubs got picked up, it
30:04
Speaker 1: was considered one of the better pilots of that time.
30:08
Speaker 1: And so when we went to Upfront, I remember all
30:10
Speaker 1: of the heat that we had behind us at Upfront,
30:13
Speaker 1: Like even the party for all of the upfront shows
30:17
Speaker 1: was kind of themed towards us, you know what I mean.
30:21
Speaker 1: And you know, you get there and you and you
30:23
Speaker 1: and you meet a bunch of executives for the first time,
30:27
Speaker 1: and you don't really know who they are, because nobody
30:30
Speaker 1: really knows executives until you're on the network and somebody
30:33
Speaker 1: tells you, Okay, that's my boss and that's his boss,
30:37
Speaker 1: and that reminds me of a wonderful story about you
30:41
Speaker 1: because we were we were so first we go to
30:43
Speaker 1: the party and it's this amazing party and it's you know,
30:45
Speaker 1: we were just wide out. We couldn't believe we were here.
30:48
Speaker 1: I mean, I was waiting tables a few months ago
30:50
Speaker 1: and and uh, here we are in New York at
30:53
Speaker 1: this giant party and you have to you take pictures
30:56
Speaker 1: with a lot of people, and you know, you're getting
30:57
Speaker 1: treated like a celebrity and you're not only even knows
31:00
Speaker 1: who you are really yet, at least especially in my case.
31:03
Speaker 1: And um, and then then we go to this party
31:06
Speaker 1: and there were celebrities at the party. I remember Kevin Nelon,
31:09
Speaker 1: who I was a huge fan of from SNL as
31:11
Speaker 1: an example. He was I think literally might have been
31:14
Speaker 1: one of the first celebrities I ever met, was Kevin
31:17
Speaker 1: Neilan at this party, and I remember thinking like, oh
31:19
Speaker 1: my god, we're hanging out with with celebrities, Like we've
31:22
Speaker 1: made it. Yeah, you know. Sean Hayes was another person
31:26
Speaker 1: who was a big champion, like he loved the show,
31:29
Speaker 1: and it was really awesome to have the dude from
31:31
Speaker 1: Will and Grace, who at this point was really famous
31:35
Speaker 1: on television. That show was snug And do you remember
31:37
Speaker 1: any other stars that were at that party. I remember.
31:39
Speaker 1: I just remember because I was such an SNL fan
31:41
Speaker 1: as a kid that I was so geeked out that
31:43
Speaker 1: that Kevin Nealon was there. I think there may have
31:45
Speaker 1: been some other older SNL faces, but it was it
31:49
Speaker 1: was all the a. It was like a NBC rich
31:52
Speaker 1: at any anyone who was on NBC at that time
31:55
Speaker 1: was at at the party. Now we proceeded, understandably to
32:00
Speaker 1: get quite intoxicated at this party. I remember Bill Lawrence saying, like,
32:04
Speaker 1: all right, guys, just so you know, like don't like,
32:06
Speaker 1: you know, there's be a lot of executives at this party,
32:08
Speaker 1: Like I understand your New York your life's just changed,
32:11
Speaker 1: but like, don't get ship faced to all of us,
32:15
Speaker 1: all of us, all of us. Sarah Chuck's famous line,
32:20
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys ever heard of a Cosmopolitan? Yeah, Sara,
32:25
Speaker 1: Sarah stumbled up to a sideways and she's like, have
32:28
Speaker 1: you guys ever heard of a Cosmopolitan? They're great? And
32:33
Speaker 1: then I remember cut for some reason at this bar.
32:36
Speaker 1: Wasn't there like a trappiece like a trapeze, but not
32:39
Speaker 1: a trapeze? What do you call that thing where you
32:40
Speaker 1: swing on a trapeezels, way too dangerous to bid a
32:45
Speaker 1: real trapeeze, but was there. It was something like that.
32:47
Speaker 1: It was a bar in the middle. It was like
32:49
Speaker 1: a bar. I think he was on in the middle
32:51
Speaker 1: of the bar. It was in the meat Paggy Street.
32:53
Speaker 1: I think it was called Park or something anyway, and
32:55
Speaker 1: she was on. I remember her being on the bar
32:58
Speaker 1: and flipping over and just showing everybody, you know, what
33:02
Speaker 1: she had on underneath that dress she wore that day
33:06
Speaker 1: because she was and I remember her husband at the
33:08
Speaker 1: time being like, that's it, We're going home, to go home,
33:11
Speaker 1: let's go. My favorite part of the night is Donald
33:14
Speaker 1: was giving everyone noogies and well, all right, let's let's go.
33:18
Speaker 1: Let me tell the story and then you can clarify.
33:19
Speaker 1: Let me tell the Let's start from the beginning, though,
33:22
Speaker 1: Let's start from the very beginning. Okay. So Scott Sassa
33:26
Speaker 1: was the dude that I thought was in charge of
33:28
Speaker 1: all of NBC at the time. I think he was
33:32
Speaker 1: higher up than than Jeff Zucker, who we're going to
33:35
Speaker 1: talk about. Jeff Zucker was the I believe, the president
33:38
Speaker 1: of NBC who is now actually now the president of CNN,
33:42
Speaker 1: but at the time he was the president of NBC.
33:45
Speaker 1: He had just come from whatever the Today Show at
33:48
Speaker 1: the time, and then he gone on to be the
33:52
Speaker 1: head of NBC. And I didn't know this, so Donald
33:55
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was. You're gonna ruin my story.
33:57
Speaker 1: Donald didn't know who he was. I thought he was
33:58
Speaker 1: Scott Sasson's that says it. And Donald was going around
34:01
Speaker 1: giving everyone noggies. And I look over and Donald has
34:04
Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker, the president of the network, in a full headlock,
34:09
Speaker 1: and he's giving him a drunken noggie on his bald head.
34:13
Speaker 1: And I hear Jeff Zucker, go, please Donald, No, that's okay.
34:24
Speaker 1: Entire friendship. Whenever Donald like tells me a cringe e
34:27
Speaker 1: story that makes me want to run away, I just
34:29
Speaker 1: tell him about please Donald, no, Jeff Zucker. You know,
34:32
Speaker 1: at this point, I'm giving everybody love because I'm so
34:35
Speaker 1: excited that we're on the network. It's going down, and
34:38
Speaker 1: I look over and I see Jeff Zucker in my mind,
34:42
Speaker 1: Scott Sass's assistant standing over by the bar, uh, you know,
34:47
Speaker 1: by himself, or he might even have been with somebody,
34:50
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, you come over here. I got
34:52
Speaker 1: nuggies to give out, and he's like, he's like no, no, no, no, no, no,
34:55
Speaker 1: no no no. And I point at him again and
34:57
Speaker 1: I'm like and I get a little bit more, you know,
35:00
Speaker 1: grow about it, and I'm like, no, you get over
35:02
Speaker 1: here right now. And he's like no, no, no, no
35:05
Speaker 1: no no. And so I marched over to him, drunk
35:08
Speaker 1: as Kim. I've seen you march when Donald marches his
35:12
Speaker 1: arms swing and I walk up to him and I
35:15
Speaker 1: grabbed him and I put him in the headlock, and
35:16
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't you ever tell me no? And I'm
35:19
Speaker 1: grabbing him and I'm giving Jeff Zucker a nuggie. And
35:22
Speaker 1: I remember Bill Lawrence like a few days later being like, dude, Donald,
35:28
Speaker 1: I just have to ask you if this actually happened,
35:32
Speaker 1: but did you give Jeff Zucker a noogie? I was like,
35:35
Speaker 1: I gave so many people nuggies. I gave so many
35:38
Speaker 1: I can't recall who who was. And he was like, well,
35:42
Speaker 1: apparently you gave the head of NBC a noogie. And
35:49
Speaker 1: he's not really happy about it. But he wasn't genuinely
35:51
Speaker 1: piste off, was he. No. I don't think he was
35:53
Speaker 1: genuinely piste off, but he stayed away from me here.
35:55
Speaker 1: I remember remember he did come to visit the set
35:58
Speaker 1: of the hospital and and he kind of stayed away
36:01
Speaker 1: from you because he was, um, yeah, that's very funny.
36:05
Speaker 1: Well what else do you so? So then I remember
36:07
Speaker 1: that night ended where we were in I wasn't there.
36:10
Speaker 1: You were, this was you and Neelon, I wasn't there.
36:13
Speaker 1: Almost almost everybody ended up back in Bill and Christa's
36:18
Speaker 1: hotel room, and we it's kind of it's sweet slash embarrassing.
36:21
Speaker 1: We were so geeked out. We were like, let's watch
36:23
Speaker 1: our pilot. So we were like it was like a
36:25
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people and Kevin Kneelin, who I was
36:28
Speaker 1: a super fan of, and we just were watching the
36:31
Speaker 1: show and I don't know, it's a sweet moment. I
36:32
Speaker 1: remember being like just thinking like I can't believe this
36:36
Speaker 1: is happening. But then the funny thing is you have
36:38
Speaker 1: a long time before you start shooting. So we made
36:41
Speaker 1: the show. It got picked up. My mom freaked out
36:43
Speaker 1: that I was like that I quit my waiting tables job.
36:45
Speaker 1: She was like, but what so long we are you
36:48
Speaker 1: gonna do? And I was like, I, Mom, I I
36:50
Speaker 1: I can live off this pilot money for a long
36:53
Speaker 1: I was living so frugally with no money that I
36:55
Speaker 1: was like, I can live off this pilot money for
36:57
Speaker 1: a long time, so I'm gonna write. And in that
37:00
Speaker 1: time is when I really finally sat down and put
37:02
Speaker 1: Garden State together and at my dining room table and
37:06
Speaker 1: kind of look was like, this is a sign I
37:08
Speaker 1: need to I have this time that the universe gave
37:11
Speaker 1: me and I don't need to wait tables, and I'm
37:12
Speaker 1: gonna sit down and like put this script together. That's awesome.
37:16
Speaker 1: So this last story is one I just wanted to
37:19
Speaker 1: put in there for myself. Getting to meet Sarah Chalk
37:22
Speaker 1: on the show has been an incredible experience. She's everything
37:26
Speaker 1: you hope she might be. She's kind and truly so
37:30
Speaker 1: so funny, um and generous, a very generous soul. And
37:34
Speaker 1: you only need to know her for about five minutes
37:36
Speaker 1: before you can see that. And there's something really great
37:40
Speaker 1: about this trio of Donald, Zach and Sarah. Their energy,
37:44
Speaker 1: the way they lately poked fun of each other, the
37:47
Speaker 1: way they pump each other up to though, like there's
37:50
Speaker 1: not a lot of tearing down in this friend group,
37:52
Speaker 1: and every time we have them together. I just sort
37:54
Speaker 1: of want to bask in the glow of their delicious conversation.
37:57
Speaker 1: They are. They're kind of, I think, the friends everybody
38:01
Speaker 1: wants to be and or have, And so I wanted
38:04
Speaker 1: to stick this on the end because, man, listening to
38:07
Speaker 1: these guys talk about their early struggles but also their
38:10
Speaker 1: early accomplishments, but also how they stayed grounded, it's a
38:14
Speaker 1: really fun journey. So here's they're talking a little bit
38:17
Speaker 1: about the dressing room situation at Scrubs and Sacred Heart.
38:22
Speaker 1: So I hope you guys enjoy it. We miss you.
38:28
Speaker 1: We were taught. We've been talking about how we never
38:30
Speaker 1: see you and we miss your face. I miss you
38:34
Speaker 1: guys too. We got the band back together on zoom. No,
38:36
Speaker 1: look at this, the band's back together. Band is back together.
38:40
Speaker 1: We can't do our handshake virtually Donald and make zact jealous.
38:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't like jealous. I never whenever people do those
38:49
Speaker 1: like epically long handshakes, I I frowned, but only because
38:53
Speaker 1: I I've never been involved with one and I couldn't
38:55
Speaker 1: possibly remember it, So maybe I'm just jealous. I have
38:57
Speaker 1: a very long one with Sarah Chalk, and I have
39:00
Speaker 1: a very long one with Breck and Meyer. Those are
39:02
Speaker 1: the only two handshakes that I have in my life
39:05
Speaker 1: where I'm like, Jesus is a longass hand shake. Could
39:07
Speaker 1: you and Sarah get right back into it without fault
39:10
Speaker 1: right now? You think, get a girl running, man, you
39:18
Speaker 1: get it. So we were talking to the last episode
39:22
Speaker 1: about your your epic. We were talking about your your epic.
39:26
Speaker 1: Um I told you so dance and how long it was?
39:30
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so funny. People send me that
39:33
Speaker 1: at different moments in my life over social media. That
39:37
Speaker 1: was one of those fun times on scrubs. Like, what
39:38
Speaker 1: a unique job when you get to do this where
39:40
Speaker 1: Bill was just like the line in the script that
39:43
Speaker 1: I told you so, and he said instead of saying that,
39:45
Speaker 1: just make up like a song and a dance. And
39:48
Speaker 1: I told you so a song and dance. And so
39:50
Speaker 1: you know, it's not frequently you have to do that
39:53
Speaker 1: on the job. So it's fun. Well, do you remember
39:56
Speaker 1: getting down into the splits, Yeah, it's hard to get
39:59
Speaker 1: out of him. Remember getting down into it and being like,
40:01
Speaker 1: and I'm stuff. I was gonna say that. There's some
40:06
Speaker 1: video I think on one of the Gabriels where people
40:08
Speaker 1: can watch on usually if you're if you're interested, we're
40:11
Speaker 1: Sarry just kept going and going and going with her.
40:13
Speaker 1: I Told you So dance and they only could put
40:16
Speaker 1: a short piece of it in the show, but it
40:18
Speaker 1: like it went on for like a full minute. I think,
40:21
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they didn't cut so I just kept going
40:23
Speaker 1: and then um brought in some French and German like
40:29
Speaker 1: I told you So in German, which is yah to
40:31
Speaker 1: kept Kazakh because obviously, after being tortured going to German
40:33
Speaker 1: school twice a week for my entire upbringing, anytime I can,
40:38
Speaker 1: you know, feel that it's actually it's only been useful
40:41
Speaker 1: in scrubs. That's the only time I've ever used my German.
40:44
Speaker 1: Really would go to international upfronts and stuff like that.
40:47
Speaker 1: It was always when you do press, you must be
40:50
Speaker 1: very popular with the French and German press, I would think.
40:52
Speaker 1: Because Sarah is fully trilingual, not anymore. I was as
40:57
Speaker 1: a kid. French. I still I I can speak, but
41:00
Speaker 1: after my grandmother died, we don't really speak German anymore.
41:03
Speaker 1: So I've lost so much of it. But I but
41:06
Speaker 1: French I still has because that was, you know, all day,
41:10
Speaker 1: everyday school was in French, like math, science, pe everything.
41:13
Speaker 1: I'm so jealous of people. I wish multiple language. I
41:16
Speaker 1: wish I could speak multiple languages. Men like I tried
41:19
Speaker 1: to get the Rosetta stone and failed at it, you
41:23
Speaker 1: know what I mean? But I failed at it. No,
41:26
Speaker 1: you didn't fail at it. You just didn't commit donald.
41:28
Speaker 1: That's that that that you know what, that's a better
41:31
Speaker 1: way to look at it. That's a that's a that's
41:33
Speaker 1: a better way to look at it. But you know,
41:35
Speaker 1: I probably could have been grade at basketball if I
41:37
Speaker 1: dedicated a lot of time to it. I mean, I'm
41:39
Speaker 1: not saying I would have been like had natural super skills,
41:42
Speaker 1: but I always think of it like like, you know,
41:45
Speaker 1: it's what you dedicate time and focus and energy to.
41:48
Speaker 1: You know what, You're absolutely right, because I know a
41:50
Speaker 1: lot of people who didn't play sports growing up and
41:53
Speaker 1: put a lot of energy into sports when they got older,
41:57
Speaker 1: meaning like tennis or go all for something like that,
42:01
Speaker 1: and now they are very good at those sports, right
42:05
Speaker 1: I imagine. I just I just want to clarify for yourself,
42:07
Speaker 1: for your own psyche, that you could probably be You
42:10
Speaker 1: could easily become bilingual if you cared enough to if
42:14
Speaker 1: you dedicated the hours you dedicate to animation. To learn
42:17
Speaker 1: a language, I probably, I probably would be fluent. What
42:20
Speaker 1: language would you choose? What language? I could choose a
42:23
Speaker 1: language that's interesting. I would choose Spanish because, um, here
42:28
Speaker 1: we are living in California, and it feels like makes
42:33
Speaker 1: the most sense to be able to speak with so
42:35
Speaker 1: many Spanish speakers that are here. Yeah, Spanish is a
42:38
Speaker 1: good one. Uh wow, as probably a good one. Now
42:44
Speaker 1: French is a good one. But if I could, I
42:47
Speaker 1: would want to choose something that's like out of the ordinary. Hebrew,
42:52
Speaker 1: I would I would love to learn. That would be great. Actually,
42:56
Speaker 1: oh my god, you speaking Hebrew in Israel would be
42:58
Speaker 1: one of the one of the most amazing things. Can
43:00
Speaker 1: you just do it? Please, We'll do it together. We'll
43:03
Speaker 1: do it together. That would be great. I mean, well, Sarah,
43:08
Speaker 1: we were talking about just sports stuff like that, learning
43:11
Speaker 1: sports and stuff. I thought you wanted to say something.
43:13
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Oh no, I just want to say two things. Um.
43:16
Speaker 1: One that yes, Donald, pick a language and absolutely master it.
43:20
Speaker 1: In terms of languages, I kind of cheated because I
43:22
Speaker 1: was a kid, and I feel as a kid, it's
43:24
Speaker 1: like it's just insert. It's like a gift into your brain.
43:27
Speaker 1: It's so easy, and as an adult and so much harder.
43:29
Speaker 1: But but sports, I'm I'm living proof that what Zach
43:32
Speaker 1: just said is not true about you could play basketball
43:36
Speaker 1: and become really good. I devoted so much time in
43:40
Speaker 1: my youth to basketball. It's all I wanted, and I
43:42
Speaker 1: wanted it's so bad. And I tried out for the
43:44
Speaker 1: basketball team in grade five, grade six, grade seven, I
43:47
Speaker 1: was at our neighbor's hoop in the pouring rain in Canada,
43:49
Speaker 1: practicing every day. And then try outs for grade seven
43:53
Speaker 1: basketball came and I was like, this is my year.
43:55
Speaker 1: The basketball came from across the court, hit me square
43:58
Speaker 1: in the face and started a serious of like crazy
44:00
Speaker 1: nose plays but lasted for months until I got my
44:02
Speaker 1: nose cautter eyes. But anyways, um, I kept trying out
44:04
Speaker 1: for the team, and I kept practicing, and I take
44:06
Speaker 1: like camps and I would I would try so hard.
44:09
Speaker 1: And finally, in grade ten, and I was still the
44:12
Speaker 1: shortest kid in the class, I grew and I was
44:14
Speaker 1: like really like eighteen or something, so I uh, I
44:18
Speaker 1: finally made the team. And Blake, who you both met,
44:22
Speaker 1: who's my brother in law, was two years older and
44:24
Speaker 1: was my coach and makes fun of me till this day.
44:27
Speaker 1: And I made the team, but I spent the whole
44:29
Speaker 1: time on the bench. But I was like, I didn't
44:31
Speaker 1: care because I had a jersey and I was on
44:33
Speaker 1: the team, and I was getting on the bus with
44:35
Speaker 1: all of my buddies to go to the game, and
44:37
Speaker 1: that's all I wanted. And we had a really good team.
44:39
Speaker 1: And they would put me on the center forward as
44:40
Speaker 1: like a joke when we were beating the other team,
44:42
Speaker 1: like seventy to four, and I'd be like jumping, trying,
44:47
Speaker 1: like and it was all effort, no skill, so trying
44:50
Speaker 1: so hard and just yeah, well, you know what, you
44:55
Speaker 1: made the team. So all of that practice paid off
44:59
Speaker 1: and you got to run up and down a couple
45:01
Speaker 1: of for a couple of minutes during every game that year.
45:03
Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't think a lot of people say,
45:07
Speaker 1: and I'm including myself on this, like oh I suck
45:09
Speaker 1: at that, Oh I suck at that. Oh I can't cook,
45:11
Speaker 1: Oh I can't drive a motorcycle. Oh I can't play basketball,
45:14
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, well, maybe you're not amazing at it,
45:17
Speaker 1: but you never dedicated any fucking time to trying. Right, Well,
45:21
Speaker 1: there is that, there is there is that. There is that.
45:24
Speaker 1: Like I say all the time, I can't write. And
45:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I can imagine so much,
45:32
Speaker 1: and I can and I can and I can come
45:34
Speaker 1: up with so many stories. You know what I've never done, No,
45:37
Speaker 1: you know what, I've never practiced trying to write it
45:40
Speaker 1: into trying to write it down. I've always worked well,
45:45
Speaker 1: I've got this idea and somebody's like, oh, you should
45:47
Speaker 1: write it down, and I'm like, oh, no, I'm not
45:49
Speaker 1: a writer. How would I ever know if I don't
45:52
Speaker 1: sit down and I put the pen to pad. Of course,
45:55
Speaker 1: just to just imagine something you love, like in your case,
45:57
Speaker 1: would be animation or basketball, or of imagine all those
46:01
Speaker 1: hours you had been in a writing class, right, you
46:04
Speaker 1: know you'd probably be a amazing writer, right or or
46:08
Speaker 1: or or practicing, not just sitting in a class. It's
46:11
Speaker 1: like you said, I would learn how to write. That
46:14
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean I'd be a great writer. I might
46:17
Speaker 1: not be great at it, but I would be able
46:19
Speaker 1: to understand structure and I would understand you know, how
46:23
Speaker 1: to tell us. You would still get way better. You
46:26
Speaker 1: would get way better even if no matter where you're
46:28
Speaker 1: starting it, will you become of the greatest writers of
46:30
Speaker 1: all time. No, but if you but you'd be, you'd
46:32
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, with practice you'd be you'd be pretty
46:36
Speaker 1: darn good. I feel like, you know, you get you
46:38
Speaker 1: get put in a box as a kid of the
46:41
Speaker 1: things you can and can't do so early. And you know,
46:44
Speaker 1: for me, that was singing. I was in grade five
46:46
Speaker 1: and Mrs McKinnon was like, chalk girls, just mouth the
46:49
Speaker 1: words for this performance to my sister and I when
46:51
Speaker 1: we were singing Christmas carols in a mall for like
46:53
Speaker 1: some school, not a fancy choir, like a school choir.
46:55
Speaker 1: And I feel like it was like that moment where
46:59
Speaker 1: I love nothing more than musical theater and was doing
47:02
Speaker 1: musical theater after school, and it just completely shut me
47:07
Speaker 1: down and put me in this box of like, oh,
47:08
Speaker 1: that's something that I can't do, so I stopped working
47:11
Speaker 1: at it and learning and trying. And who knows where
47:14
Speaker 1: you would have gotten if you would have kept going,
47:16
Speaker 1: You could have been at epine. Well you think it's
47:21
Speaker 1: you think. I remember a kid I went to school
47:24
Speaker 1: with could not really sing that well. He could barely
47:26
Speaker 1: hold a tune, you know what I mean. But he
47:29
Speaker 1: could play the piano really really well right when he graduated.
47:34
Speaker 1: He's gone on now to write songs. He performs all
47:39
Speaker 1: the time. He's an amazing artist, you know what I mean.
47:44
Speaker 1: But I remember when he couldn't sing. He could sing
47:47
Speaker 1: his ass off, now, you know what I mean. My
47:49
Speaker 1: little brother, Allow me day when he was in a
47:52
Speaker 1: band called Imagine. When he auditioned for the band Imagine,
47:55
Speaker 1: he uh, he sang show tunes because that's all he knew.
47:59
Speaker 1: I think it's all edition was something like, you know,
48:01
Speaker 1: the song of Peter I Won't Grow Up Mad. No.
48:08
Speaker 1: I think that was his audition for the band, and
48:11
Speaker 1: they were like, well, the kid can the kid can
48:13
Speaker 1: hold a tune. Let's see if we can work with him. Now,
48:15
Speaker 1: my little brother, he has music that he works on
48:18
Speaker 1: all the time and he tries to get it out
48:20
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's doing his thing as a musician,
48:23
Speaker 1: and he's a very good singer and he sings, if
48:25
Speaker 1: you ask me, he sings better than a lot of
48:27
Speaker 1: his motherfucker's out right now. But that's just how do
48:29
Speaker 1: we how do we hear his music? Yeah, we'll we'll
48:33
Speaker 1: shout him out at your old hommy day. Why oh
48:40
Speaker 1: oh l A M I d E. I think that's it, I,
48:44
Speaker 1: you know, to be honest with you, I wasn't expecting
48:45
Speaker 1: to shout him out like that, but I think that's
48:47
Speaker 1: his handle on Instagram. Uh, we'll fix it if it's not. Anyway,
48:54
Speaker 1: he worked really hard to get where he was, so
48:57
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand the premise. That doesn't necessarily mean
49:00
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the greatest. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
49:05
Speaker 1: An epiphany I had in my own life, you know,
49:07
Speaker 1: in my in my twenties, was you know, stop saying
49:11
Speaker 1: you suck at X, Y and Z and not. It's
49:13
Speaker 1: not that you don't, but it's because you haven't dedicated
49:15
Speaker 1: any interest. And it comes at any time, and it
49:17
Speaker 1: becomes it comes with interest. So the things that we're
49:20
Speaker 1: all interested in in our own lives, our own hobbies
49:22
Speaker 1: and things outside of being an actor, will dedicate countless
49:26
Speaker 1: hours too. For me, one of my hobbies is photography.
49:29
Speaker 1: I will be online looking at cameras and playing with
49:33
Speaker 1: new cameras, you know, for endless hours. Now I could
49:36
Speaker 1: be dedicating at time to something else and get quite
49:39
Speaker 1: good at that thing. So it's just foolish just say like,
49:42
Speaker 1: oh I suck at that. You might, but it's it's
49:44
Speaker 1: not because you you you it's in your bones. It's
49:46
Speaker 1: because you didn't dedicate any commitment to time. That's all
49:49
Speaker 1: I'm right, age and and and that also goes for
49:53
Speaker 1: learning lines also, yes, just putt yeah. Donald always used
49:58
Speaker 1: to say, and always does say, oh I can't to
50:00
Speaker 1: learn lines. That's bullshit. You were sucking high watching basketball.
50:03
Speaker 1: That was That was honest. That's the honest to goodness truth.
50:06
Speaker 1: And when I stopped doing all of that, I found
50:09
Speaker 1: that learning lines was actually very easy to do. When
50:13
Speaker 1: you just look, if you can't learn it in two hours,
50:16
Speaker 1: there's something wrong, you know what I mean? You should
50:18
Speaker 1: really think about finding other exercises to do when it
50:22
Speaker 1: comes to line learning. That is, it's just a matter
50:24
Speaker 1: of practice for me. I miss you guys too, and
50:29
Speaker 1: you guys have been keeping me entertained and happy. Are
50:32
Speaker 1: you really listening because we had to prove that. I
50:34
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard the episode with Randall, but
50:36
Speaker 1: he tried to act like he was listening and then
50:37
Speaker 1: he said three to one and he got out in three. No,
50:42
Speaker 1: I've been listening. I've I haven't heard all of them.
50:44
Speaker 1: I've heard a bunch of them, and it's making me
50:46
Speaker 1: so happy. And I can't believe how much you guys remember.
50:48
Speaker 1: And it's so fun to just, especially in a time
50:51
Speaker 1: like this, like go back into that go back into
50:54
Speaker 1: that headspace. And we had I just we had so
50:56
Speaker 1: much fun. We had so many fucking laughs and I, um, yeah,
51:00
Speaker 1: all of it. Like Donald singing Stafford and Son. The
51:03
Speaker 1: other day, Um, you know what it is, Well, you
51:08
Speaker 1: know what it is. I was hanging out with Paul
51:10
Speaker 1: Rudd and Alicia Silverstone and Breck and Meyer doing a
51:13
Speaker 1: Clueless reunion like a year and a half ago or
51:15
Speaker 1: something like that, right, And Paul said something that was
51:18
Speaker 1: very very interesting. He was like, we have history together,
51:24
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So because we have history together,
51:28
Speaker 1: it's so easy to fall back into where we were
51:33
Speaker 1: when we were working on scrubs, right he was he
51:37
Speaker 1: was saying clueless. He was like, we had such a
51:40
Speaker 1: great time and it was such a big opportunity for
51:43
Speaker 1: all of us, and it turned into something so big
51:46
Speaker 1: that when we see each other you can't help but
51:49
Speaker 1: reminiscent feel all of those great feelings that you had
51:52
Speaker 1: when ship jumped off, right. I think also, you know,
51:56
Speaker 1: when we did the show, we didn't have all these
51:59
Speaker 1: years of knowing just how special it really was. I mean,
52:03
Speaker 1: we've all done plenty of jobs since and continue to
52:07
Speaker 1: work and will till till our dying day. But I
52:10
Speaker 1: think when I watched these episodes back and I talk
52:14
Speaker 1: to you guys, and it's great seeing everyone now we're
52:16
Speaker 1: doing the show. We see you, sorry, we saw Johnny.
52:18
Speaker 1: See we see people that we don't see all the time.
52:20
Speaker 1: It's it's even bring back more nostalgia for me because
52:22
Speaker 1: I'm going, Wow, what a what a unique time this
52:25
Speaker 1: was to not only do something for so long, but
52:28
Speaker 1: to create this wonderful bond with these with these people,
52:31
Speaker 1: and um, it's you know a lot of jobs as
52:34
Speaker 1: an actor that you do. They're fun and everyone's cool
52:36
Speaker 1: and and it works or it doesn't, but it isn't
52:39
Speaker 1: such a special thing where where you have these lifelong
52:41
Speaker 1: bonds with people. It's so true, is it was? It was?
52:44
Speaker 1: It was our twenties right like it was our twenties.
52:46
Speaker 1: It was such a formative time, I think too, in
52:48
Speaker 1: our lives and then for it to be on such
52:52
Speaker 1: a special show and yeah, like you guys are saying, like,
52:54
Speaker 1: you know, we realize being adults, like how fucking rare
52:57
Speaker 1: that is and to have you know, I mean, we
52:59
Speaker 1: would we would spend it was like you guys were
53:02
Speaker 1: talking about with Randall. It's like we would spend sixteen
53:05
Speaker 1: twenty hours shooting. We would go over time that people
53:07
Speaker 1: don't never do anymore, and then we would go with
53:09
Speaker 1: the whole crew to the Money Tree, you know on
53:12
Speaker 1: a Friday night. We would have wine and cheese Fridays.
53:15
Speaker 1: I mean we've literally just spent like over hundred hours together.
53:21
Speaker 1: And then you know, and then are still hanging out
53:23
Speaker 1: or would hang out on the weekends, and I mean
53:25
Speaker 1: really all lunch together. I mean, I don't know if
53:27
Speaker 1: you guys now nowadays on sets people are like later,
53:34
Speaker 1: but we used to every single day for nine for
53:36
Speaker 1: eight years, Um, have lunch together. Yeah, it's so, it's
53:42
Speaker 1: so um, it's so rare. I was working on a
53:45
Speaker 1: job like a year ago, and I just I was
53:47
Speaker 1: new there and I just grabbed my train, went down
53:48
Speaker 1: and sat with the crew and a couple of guys
53:50
Speaker 1: that I'd worked with years and years ago, and somebody
53:54
Speaker 1: said like, oh, actually, you just go to the trail.
53:56
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's not how That's not
53:58
Speaker 1: how I grew up. That's not what I enjoyed. I
54:00
Speaker 1: um and uh it was. Yeah. I don't know if
54:03
Speaker 1: you guys remember, but Carrie Bennett are amazing costume designer
54:07
Speaker 1: who hanous scrubs. I definitely remember Carrie Bennett. I think,
54:12
Speaker 1: oh my god, she was so great. So she she
54:15
Speaker 1: she she'd say to me, you know, after lunch, she
54:17
Speaker 1: was like, Sarah, um, I don't say this, but we're
54:20
Speaker 1: running out of scrubs, in of your scrubs, and and
54:24
Speaker 1: we we we we just need to We're gonna give
54:26
Speaker 1: you this art smock as a as a Giant did
54:29
Speaker 1: and you've got to wear it to the lunch tin.
54:31
Speaker 1: And I was like, you're kidding me, right, Carrie, And
54:33
Speaker 1: she's like, no, no, just like wear it and then
54:35
Speaker 1: it will protect the scrubs, these beautiful baby blue scrubs
54:38
Speaker 1: from the chili stain. And uh so I did, and
54:42
Speaker 1: it was kind of humiliating, and I was super proud.
54:44
Speaker 1: I came back from lunch and I'm like, Carrie, and
54:47
Speaker 1: then I had taken a quick disco nap in my
54:50
Speaker 1: dressing room and I fell asleep on a sharpie And
54:54
Speaker 1: so these baby blue scrubs that were like pristine on
54:57
Speaker 1: the front had like a sharpie stain the size of
55:00
Speaker 1: a grape fruit on the butt. Sarah, is it okay
55:02
Speaker 1: to tell everyone, um that you're not necessarily the tidiest person?
55:10
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I forgot about that. Your dressing room.
55:13
Speaker 1: Oh how did you find anything? And never? You've never
55:19
Speaker 1: seen anything like it? People, Oh, come along, Well, I
55:26
Speaker 1: don't know, do you guys? Remember I moved dressing rooms
55:27
Speaker 1: because I was between your two dressing rooms at the
55:30
Speaker 1: right end of the hallway. And then in whatever season
55:33
Speaker 1: that Heather Graham came on, she was coming for eight episodes,
55:36
Speaker 1: and they made her a really nice dressing room. They
55:39
Speaker 1: brought in like new carpeting and they painted. They brought
55:41
Speaker 1: in this cute little couch and it was smaller than
55:44
Speaker 1: it was so pretty, And so when she left they
55:47
Speaker 1: let me have it. So I ended up switching over
55:49
Speaker 1: the Heather's dressing up. They fixed up a dressing room
55:52
Speaker 1: because he Their Graham was coming, and then when she left,
55:54
Speaker 1: you were like, can I have it? And they were
55:56
Speaker 1: like sure, like, it's so funked up. After all this time,
55:58
Speaker 1: you didn't get that dressing room, but that you moved
56:01
Speaker 1: across the hall. That's right, you moved to the other side.
56:04
Speaker 1: Oh but okay, yes I did. And And as more
56:07
Speaker 1: proof that I've been listening to your podcast, Johnny C.
56:10
Speaker 1: I was laughing so hard. He was like, it was like,
56:14
Speaker 1: remember how we each got fifteen hundred dollars from Disney
56:16
Speaker 1: every year to improve our dressing rooms. I was like,
56:19
Speaker 1: hell no, I remember just going there. Remember I remember
56:24
Speaker 1: going into Donald didn't have much to core and he
56:27
Speaker 1: would just like like whatever, whatever the latest video game
56:30
Speaker 1: system and the controllers everywhere, and then and then Sarah
56:34
Speaker 1: looked like exploded. There was just like shit everywhere. Kind
56:42
Speaker 1: of was a teenager. I mean when I look fact
56:44
Speaker 1: of those episodes, we were babies, like yeah, but you
56:46
Speaker 1: were you weren't a teenager kid. And then your your
56:52
Speaker 1: dressing room looked like fucking you would walk in and
56:55
Speaker 1: it would smell good, you had freaking art on the
56:57
Speaker 1: wall and ship like that. I was there. I was
57:00
Speaker 1: there my whole life. I thought it had to be
57:01
Speaker 1: a little bit nice. But I want everyone to realize
57:04
Speaker 1: these are still hospital rooms. Okay, these are small hospital
57:07
Speaker 1: rooms that basically just had some I keya furniture and
57:10
Speaker 1: a fresh coat of paint, but still have changed your
57:14
Speaker 1: ship up a little bit more than just I keya furniture.
57:17
Speaker 1: Like they were like, Zach, here's your room, and you
57:20
Speaker 1: were like, no, we gotta fix it. Hold on now,
57:22
Speaker 1: hold hold on. Where did you get this? Where did
57:24
Speaker 1: you get this furniture from Kia? No? No, no, no,
57:26
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get pottery barn. Like you. It
57:31
Speaker 1: was not as nice as pottery barn. It was. I
57:34
Speaker 1: think it was all rental ship. So every year they
57:37
Speaker 1: bring you in like how about this couch and be
57:39
Speaker 1: like no, And then you go to the differenttal house
57:42
Speaker 1: and be like how about this one. It was just
57:43
Speaker 1: like I'm learning so much. I never got the fite
57:48
Speaker 1: hunter Johnny so had someone. I never had someone say
57:51
Speaker 1: how about this couch? I was just whatever coach was
57:53
Speaker 1: in there till I took Heather Glam's right. I mean,
57:54
Speaker 1: in my defense, I was there the most hours of
57:57
Speaker 1: the day, so I did. I did like I'm gonna
58:00
Speaker 1: need to nap, so I'm gonna I do remember saying.
58:04
Speaker 1: I do remember going up to somebody and being like, listen,
58:06
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a pain in the ass
58:08
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But my couch is made out
58:11
Speaker 1: of like, uh, it's like Dan Durry or whatever this
58:15
Speaker 1: ship is, and it's really hard on my face and
58:18
Speaker 1: it's really hot. Is there a way we could find
58:20
Speaker 1: something that's a little bit more cooler? Uh? And and
58:24
Speaker 1: not cooler like uh, like aesthetically cooler, but cooler like
58:29
Speaker 1: keeps your body cool cooler. I don't want you to
58:33
Speaker 1: be a pain in the ass, but is there any
58:34
Speaker 1: way this could happen? And I remember them being like him,
58:37
Speaker 1: let me talk to somebody about this. We'll see you're talking.
58:44
Speaker 1: Maybe Zack's like, they would be like, here's a couch.
