• 1:19
  Speaker 1: musical in so long. I've only seen Guy Love nine
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: jillion times. And not to pat ourselves in the back,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this is fucking one of the best episodes of TV
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: comedy ever. Yes, I think it's brilliant. And we can
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: say that because we didn't write it. And I want
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to give kudos to the writers right off the bed,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Jeff Marx, Robert Lopez, Paul Perry, and I'm sure a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: few others I don't know about. Obviously, Deb Fordham, who
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: wrote the episode, wrote a lot of the lyrics, with
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the whole writing staff Will mackenzie, brilliant director Bill Lawrence
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of course overseeing the whole thing. But it is so
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: tight me. First of all, it's so short, and and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to think of all those songs and all that in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: what is it? Twenty twenty twenty two minutes? And Donald,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you are particularly amazing in it too, every time, I mean,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: because because you really are a sing singer and a dancer.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You shine so bright in this.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you man. That's very nice of you to say.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You know who really shined in this for me was Judy? Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: because I know she broke her back or yeah, her hip.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But I found this trivia for those of you. Here's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: your first bit of tribute. Wait, we get in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: show five six.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Stories about show we made about a bunch of n.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I said, here's a story.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: All so YadA ra here, yeada here.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, tell us about the trivia.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: There's some trivia I learned on on Scrubs Wiki, which
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is that Judy Reyes had a broken hip. Yes, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: other than the tango that she did what does with
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Donald which was shot two months after the fact, they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had to come back and shoot it. Remember that you'll
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: notice that she's always sitting.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yep, We're gonna miss your Carla.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The whole woman. I'm gonna miss your Carlo. She's sitting
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in a wheelchair, I believe, right, Or no, why would
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: she be in a wheelchair.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: No, she's sitting in a regular chair.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, But anyway, there is some mega trivia for you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: trivia buffs out there. Judy Reyes spent the whole time
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in sitting, except for the tango, which was shot two
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: months later.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: She was also out for a bit while she healed
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: because she uh so we we didn't see her for
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a while when.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She do you remember how she broke her hip? Was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it sexually related?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Oh? I wish, I wish it was.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, her voice is, first of all, I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't even begin, okay, And I'm sure
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: if you're a mega Scrubs fan and you're listening to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: this podcast, you probably feel the same way because I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it. I don't think i've seen it in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: twenty years. It is so good. And Judy Rayes's voice,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: first of all, amazing. Everything you do Donald and this
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is amazing. But the tango I hadn't seen for the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: last time. Turk, I'm Dominican. That is so fucking funny.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And the dancing is so good.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: She's great.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Do you remember, like you guys, wused have rehearsed a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: long time for that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: No, we didn't.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't rub it in for us. Non dancing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: She was hurt, were hurt for ten minutes. We had
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: like half a day of rehearsal. So we could get
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the blocking and everything down, but for the most part
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: she was I mean she had to come back and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: like kudos to her man because she had to come
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: back and learn it really fast. Where we rehearsed for
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a week or two before we even started blocking this show.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: This episode, this was huge for us.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was just one of the biggest things
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: we ever did. We pre recorded, so not only did
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: these genius writers that I mentioned write all this music
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and then it was orchestrated, and then we had to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: go and pre record all the songs so that we
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: could sing and dance to them, you know, and have
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: them be filmed. And so we had never done anything
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this epic. I mean before this was by far the biggest.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this and maybe the Princess bridewe were the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: most expensive ones ever. But this was so fun. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Will McKenzie, I mean, he's such a talented director. I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he loved musicals, and he had a Broadway background, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he's directed a zillion episodes of television and he just
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: was the perfect man for this assignment. The way this
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is photographed, the way it goes in and out of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: every time. Stephanie de Bruzzo I believe she was in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Avenue Q and she's been in a lot of broad
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Way things, and she's wonderfully talented. But you know, we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: only sing when she's around. And then it also takes
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on this little sort of heightened glow of like a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: technic color musical, you know, little little things like that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And and just all the camera moves, I mean, the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: camera is dancing too, and those.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Overheads, the lights are dancing in this bad boy.
• 6:20

• 6:22
  Speaker 1: at the Johnny one who shot it beautifully. I mean,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it was nominated for five Emmys. Now Scrubs barely ever
• 6:27

  Speaker 1: I do. We should have won, We should have won
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: all five.

  Speaker 1: Can you find that? So he would do those top

• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Is is they do it Indiana Jones and the Temple
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of Doom in the opening number. It's done in blazing saddles.

• 9:01
  Speaker 2: as a dude that was in What's that story, Ansel
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: elgret Yeah, no, I think it should be Ansel el

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to our musical, Donald. Let's open with So we talked
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: about the opening number, which is incredible and just so
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: well written. Then we go into our Pooh song, which
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is just so funny, and the choreography is so funny.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had kicking our heads in.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, miss Miller, we just need a stool sample. So
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: if you think I'm just a nut, my.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Dear, you.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: See, everything comes down to pooh.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: This show really mean, should.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Really just be me and Donald singing all the songs.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: For you guys, whether it's a tumor or a touch
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: of the flu.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Please, won't you pinch us off a big fat clue.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Our number one guess is your number two.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: If there's no preestlide on match, please.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Everything comes down to do do do do Do Do
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: do do.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: So there's a moment in that song that's very funny,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and that's the breakaway goes Mike check the pool, Yes,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Mike Schwartz as homeless guy through Pooh in my eye.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Check the check the poo. Minor his first him then
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you ven you. But the way that the way that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Mike Schwartz.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Because if he doesn't have anything in his poo, you're
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: gonna be fine pretty much.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But the way that Mike Schwartz asked Minor his so
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: funny first is then you it may may gross it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you may see it used to be Originally
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: it was it may seem grows, it may be crass,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: but we need to see what comes out of your Yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Some of the lyrics before that, it was a curly
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: or a letter J, as long as.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: It's due yes, everything of that.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: NBC put their foot down on describing fecal matter as
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a letter J.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Or curly, curly, curly or a letter J.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's just so funny. It's so funny what they allowed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: But they didn't allow a curly or a letter J.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: How many letters js have you had?
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: No?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: That's the truth though, think about it. I guess so
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: because it was in the song at one.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Point curly or a letter jay, as long as it seduced, yes,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and then we cheer. It was a bummer when we
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: get while we were when we get lyrics and they
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: were so funny. And then by the time we recorded,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: we had to change some of them because NBC didn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: approve them.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Well, this episode is completely chopped up also, man like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: there were so many storylines that had.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Or it's amazings that had to go.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that had to go because they wanted to get
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: all the songs in.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: There's really only two plots. There's Carlos deciding whether she's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: going to be a working mom and come back to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: work or be a stay at home mom. And and uh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Sarah's moving into her new house and doesn't want me
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and doesn't want me to move in, and then and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: then the woman of course who has a who has
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: an aneurysm that's causing her to hear people singing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But but the thing that's taken the plot, that takes
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: over most of the shows we could is the music, obviously,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: because we wanted to tell that story.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Are you okay? Are you all right? Now? There's a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they all have like a little bit of an homage
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to a genre.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you this.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see some more than others, but there you.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Name them where I will see how I do.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I wrote down some thoughts on it, so the blanks.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna miss your Carla, I don't know what do
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you think that's an homage to? It's sort of like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a it's like a song from Greece kind of thing.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But there's a clear grease song later, but.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure what that is. We're gonna miss
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: your car maybe barbershop, barbershop quartet? Ish, you know what?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I mean right, that's such a good tune. I had
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: forgotten about.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: We haven't gone.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It kind of sounds like a barbershop quartet.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Now when you come here, baby, it made the choice
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to be at home and not at work. You that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was your entrance, dude. I had to like rewind and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: watch it again.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It was so good, Thank you very much. A little
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: homage to uh, you know, what was your image? You know,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the king of pop back in the day?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Right, Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah you did that. You
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: did that later when in Guy Love. But I know
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it's not probably gonna happen. But I wish you'd do
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a Broadway musical because.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: They don't want me. Man, Ain't nobody offering me. No,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: damn Broadway musicals.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: They don't want me.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: If they did want me, I would have done one
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: by now. Listen, man, you could talk, we could talk.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I auditioned from the one I did. They're not gonna,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna do.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: You auditioned for Bullets over Broadway? Yeah? Hell yeah, nice,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna. I'm gonna tell you something.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Those go ahead, hold on, hold on? Is it? Is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it something that's really.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. When you auditioned for it?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Did you audition against other Broadway performers and stuff?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: What I did was I didn't go to the actual audition.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I had to leave town and I was very terrified
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: to go in an audition, and so what I did
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: was I had a piano player come over my house
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and we videotaped me singing the songs. That was the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: first audition, was singing this song. And I then forgot
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: about it, like every actor should, because the best way
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to get a part is to is to submit your
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: audition and never think about it again. So they call
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you and I said, I'm never going to get this.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And then they called me and said Woody and Susan Stroman,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: who directed it, really liked you now when you read
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the scene. And then I had a second audition on
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: tape from LA and I read the scene and they
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: said they're going to do a workshop of it and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: they want you to play the John Cusack part. It was,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you know, because it's based on a John Cusack movie,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Woody ol movie. And so I did the workshop and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: then officially got the part. After the workshop. Did you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: listen to any of that?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: All I heard was you had like a boutique audition
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and then another boutique audition.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: No, I just videotaped myself, right, And then they were like,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it's no different than you videotaping yourself for a role
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: at home. I just didn't go in.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Now, Ain't nobody called me and asked me to videotape myself?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And this ship is what I'm trying to say. You
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: sitting here saying you should be a part of a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Broadway thing. They gotta want you to be a part
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: of the mother.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Things have to have. I can't just be like, you're right,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I'm now on Broadway everyone. It doesn't work that way.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Listen, do you have your agency has a theater department? Okay, yes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go to your theater agent and you're gonna say, hey,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: theater agent, Zach Braf, the amazing actor, the amazing man
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that he is, the amazing actor, director, singer, dancer says
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: star Broadway star says, I should do Broadway? Can you
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: can you if a musical that's right for me comes up,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: can you flag it?
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: No?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Because here's a problem, Because then all of a sudden,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Shrek comes up and they're like, they want you to

• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you still hear people sing?
• 24:50

• 24:51
  Speaker 1: It's best to know the truth of that. I have
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: no doubt.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: But you'll have to face the future when the truth
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: comes out. That's it's a waste of our time. But
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: at least you'll accept that she's medically fine.

• 25:16
  Speaker 4: song and talking about it specifically.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, well I'm learning something, but most importantly i'm
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: learning let's say the facts about me and you. You

• 25:42
  Speaker 10: keep them inside fire. This can't bear those girls to

  Speaker 10: stay and sometimes excuse me, you're too high and explain
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: our guy love.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It's so beautiful now, mine, there's some funny ass ship
• 26:01

• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of me, right, And I hold up my fist.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I took it, yeah, meaning insinuating that I fisted your butthole.

  Speaker 2: But I'm saying, I'm saying, dude, I just took your
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: stitches out.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I just put stitches.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I like, I like, I go and I go.

• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And oh no, are you sure cause you put your
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: fist up.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: That ship was so funny. And my other favorite thing
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: is that when we go let's go and do this,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and we just go.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: To the end of the bed, we go right to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the end of the bed.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I love how I point you guys were with that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: Also, the facial expressions you give, like both of you

  Speaker 9: throughout is so fun really selling.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: The moment I love.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I hate to tell you this, but we were really
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: trying to sing the ship out of this song too.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Like we're sitting there like everybody looks at it like
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: it's a joke, because it obviously is a joke, and
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: we are making a joke, but we're sincerely trying to
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: fucking sing. Okay, this shit is real deal, holy Field.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: This wasn't no fucking let that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Was a pre record though Donald wasn't it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a prerecord, but we weren't in the
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: pre record.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: They had bet they had mics on us too. So
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: when we said, like when Donald did his like and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: then and then and then when I go when he
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: when he puts his hand, I go, no hands.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Dude, I still use no hands. I still use that
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: no hands baby, huggs.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Huggs.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Now, this is a much underappreciated, not talked about song
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: in this particular episode.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I've had it to hear, so let me make it
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: very clear, because I swear I'll never win again every
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: time that you profess that.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Come from Puerto Rico. Yes, for the last time, I'm Domitigan.
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: Don't make a big to do.
• 28:02

• 28:22
  Speaker 3: sent you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I emailed you all the lyrics, by the way, if
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you wanted to reference them.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I love that song. That song.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I laughed so much when I first read that song
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: and we sang it, like, why'd you tell J d
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: our Baby's Blaxican?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Then? Why do you tell J d our Baby's Blaxican?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great way to describe ethnic children.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: What are you?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You know right away, I'm Blaxakin, half black, half Mexican.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: That's a Blaxican baby, right there. Baby, that's a Blaxican baby.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That shit is hilarious to me. I laughed, So I
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: fed that ship.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Dude.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: It was so funny. It was so funny. And the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: lyrics I want to I think it's Deb before them.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, of course, it's all the writers, but Deb,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you are the head writer on this episode. The lyrics
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: are so funny and and you guys are just amazing,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Like I would you know? There's there was talk of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: making a Scrubs musical.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Brandon was trying, Randall Winston.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Was trying to develop it. I'm sure there'll probably be
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: one one day and we can go see it, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I would, I would cheer.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You know, they made it clueless musical.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Uh and Dove Cameron played Chaer and did a wonderful job,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like Amy Heckling was involved
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: and directed it in everything, you know, I don't see
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: why they couldn't do a Scrubs musical.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't even have to be this musical episode.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: It could be any episode you.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Could well you would, you could have to.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: It was only that's right. I get you.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: You'd have to add a lot more songs because there's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: not enough.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: But you could create a whole brand new episode. Doesn't
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: necessarily have to be about someone hearing thing, even though
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: that works, and you know, make a I totally see
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: this happening, or see a version of this happening. I
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily see us in it, but I see it happening.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna be in it. We're too old. There
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: has to be about young people.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Like if they did Screw, Like, that's what sucks if
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: they did Scrubs.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Now, how many fingers. Do you see call nine one emergency.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not used to sing.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I'm really notice you'd like to hear thirty seconds?
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Is there someone here with you?
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Someone that we could talk to?
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: I said them by myself, saying.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: That she would really be doing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: What the fuck is everybody saying? What the is going on? Saying?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You know, it'll be funny if the character hated musicals.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: That'd be even better. Oh no, not another one.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Another one? No hands? All right? Then we get this
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: classic hold on, remember this one, Donald, hold on?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: We need friends, never friends forever. We will always be true.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Friends. We gotta be friends forever. I'll always be there
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Were rest close as the and the order.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: We're best friends. Just like, why are you trying to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Sarah singing?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: She sounds like a grimlin when you sing.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I love Sarah. Oh there's our girl. I love Sarah,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But I have to say, amongst her many talents, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: she has many talents, she's a phenomenal actress. She's beautiful,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: she's so kind, she's an amazing mom. Singing is not
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in her top six things.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: No, I would say it's sports and singing that she's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: probably well.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: She can snowboard. I know that she's a good snowboarder
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: because she's keeting.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: You know, Sarah was looking for a school sport when
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: she was younger and had to settle for shotput.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine Sarah didn't shotput?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: No, and the only reason why she got shot puts
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: because there wasn't enough interest.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Shotput is the dumbest sport.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: No, I disagree, I disagree.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're into shotput, but can you imagine
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: putting that much time into shotput?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: It's a technique that is yeah, and it goes nowhere.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: The thing is, it comes after you after.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: You've become the best shot pudder in the world.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: This is not throwing with the ball where you spin around.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Come on, you want to take someone out from far away? Though?
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Right right? An attack right right? There wasn't attack.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: No.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe if they added an element to shot put, like
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: hit a dude right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Moving targets is a good idea, that's well, then it's
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: no longer.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: What's another what's another funny one? Throwing the hammer then
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: throwing the hammer. Is that the same one or is that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: A different that's different?
• 33:41

  Speaker 1: I was, I was, I really it was so realistic
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: that I I was frightened.
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I panicked.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, it hasn't been in the Olympics, but okay.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's just drived by the way. Okay, we're gonna
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: let the guest in in a second, but I want
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to give a shout out to that you're going to
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: be Okay, that was more like a rent song. That's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen everything.
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: Okay, five thousand, six hundred and ninety five thousand, because.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I got a little emotional.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Scaring so pretty, it's really lovely. This would not have
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: worked at all if all of these creative groups didn't
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: come together.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: It's all I kept thinking about was how many of
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: these dancers were in La La Land.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of those dancers are all the background people
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: were professional dancers, and well, keep in mind, this is
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: twenty I don't know if it's twenty how many years ago.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: It was two thousand and six. I'm bad at Matthew
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: sixteen years ago. So some of them may have retired
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: but were in La La Land.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, don't yell about some of them even sang in
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: La La Land. Listen, Candice sang, well.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Donald found Donald's connection to this
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: was trying to figure out how many people from this
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: may have been in Lalla Land.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: That's right. I think about that day because this is
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: this is the opening number all over again. I met.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I left him at a Grayhound station western Santa Fe.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: We were seventeen and he was young, and it was true.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: I knew what I had to do.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you didn't even give him a chance to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: come to Paris. Give him a chance. There was jazz
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: clubs in Paris, jazz club jazz in Paris. Yeah, why
• 38:37

  Speaker 2: Or freaking Cruela Deville the one hundred and one Dalmatians
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: jazz was huge, Cruella.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Over Okay, that's a weird reference, but I just want
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to say that there's no reason that he couldn't have
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: gone to Paris. All right, let's go to break and
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna have a guest, and

  Speaker 1: You're both music teachers.
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: And for what?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: For what grade.
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: It?
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Or I guess what ages?
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm a middle school teacher. I teach band and
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: orchestra and jazz, and I do a.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Choir with six through twelve grade six through twelve.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: My god, is it as fun as it seems on
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Glee because it just looks like they're having such a
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: good time.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I can't stand Glee because it's so not real. I
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: love the music. The music of it is really really great.
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: And I've done some of those arrangers arrangements and with
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: my groups before, so there's that's.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Always You must have a kid, both of you who
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you I imagine this is exciting when so many of
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the children have good talent and average talent, and it's
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: exist they're they're living their best selves because they're expressing
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: themselves through music and song. But it must be so
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: thrilling when you go, oh my god, we got one
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: on the hook. We got a kid that's extra special.
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: Got a few of those.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: And the really rewarding part is when that that creates
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: a feedback loop with other kids and they see that
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: passion and it becomes contagious.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: They get inspired. They go, I want to be as
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: good as so and so right very much.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: It's fun to watch.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I want to I want to be a teacher.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Donald, you are a teacher.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: I occasionally would go to Northwestern where I went to college,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and uh and and give a try and give you know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: speeches and give back to the to the college kids
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: in some way, which I should do again because I
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: got so much out of it. It's so fulfilling. But
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: but you're doing this at such a young age where
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: you really shape your These kids who are in your classes,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: they must love it. This is probably their favorite class, right.
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: For many of them.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, for for so many it's the reason that they
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: choose to come to school, you know, particularly now when
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: we're all going through various struggles over the last couple
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: of years. If you can tell a kid, hey, you know,
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: we'll get you out of a textbook and we'll get
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: you out of, you know, all the rigors of your
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: typical subjects, and you can come in and create and
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: and be who you are and be accepted for who
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: you are.
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: And that's that's mostly mostly what everybody needs.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: How are you as a teacher? Are you able to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: teach any instrument? I mean, how does that work?
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: That's a good question.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: So we actually the short answers, Yes, we compliment each
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: other pretty well. Part of our CLUDI training is learning
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: how to play all these instruments, so we can be
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: effective instructors. But whatever I don't play, she plays, and
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: vice versa. So it's sort of just it worked out.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Are there kids in your class that play any of
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the instruments better than you?
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: That's the end goal, That's what I would like.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they will eventually, eventually, they will eventually. I just
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: wondered if there's anyone who's like a mega standout.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: They definitely have a few. Absolutely.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I love that you're sharing music because it can be
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: taught in so many ways. There's so many instruments, there's
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: so many ways to use your voice, there's so many
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: ways to be musical and you know, just opening the
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: door for someone like you guys are talking about. Yeah,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: sure there's standouts, but there's going to be somebody that
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: takes what you teach them and take it to a
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: level that you guys never expected to ever ever see.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: And the impact you're going to have on these children
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: because of course some of course a few may pursue music,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: but also the skill sets you're giving them to stand
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: in front of an audience, to have the courage to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: put themselves out there, to perform, to work with each other.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the different skill set you know,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you think about all the bullshit. There's an old pul
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Simon lyric. When I think back on all the crap
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: think at all. And you know, there's a lot of
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: stuff you learned that you're like, why the fuck did
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I learned that? I would have rather learned how to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: fix my car. I'd rather learn how to do my taxes.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I'd rather learn how to play a fucking instrument, for
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the love of God. So my point is is that
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you're teaching them a skill set that isn't just singing
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and or playing an instrument. It's collaborating with their peers,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: having the courage to stand in front of a group,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: you know. So that's so important anytime.
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: You want to come on by and give the pitch man.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: We learn a lot of She's like, you guys are
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: doing good on your own. It's where are you?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Where are you? Where?
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Where is this happen?
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: We live in a very little town called Burn, Indiana,
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: near the Fort Wayne area.
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: And I teach him fore and she's here in town.
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: He's from Chicago and I'm from Ohio, and we kind
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: of ended up in the middle Fort Wade, Indiana.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: In the middle.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: We have a friend that was on a show about
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the middle Indiana, Neil Flynn Neil Flynn Indiana. To consider
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: the middle well.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: That's what that's where the show takes place, isn't it.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, I guess it's a middle class that they're talking
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: about in that one.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Why I think, Yes, I think they're referencing being.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: But not in the middle of the country, because the
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: middle of the country isn't I don't know.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, So you guys have a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: question for us?
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely, We kind of had a thought we'd start
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: with a fun one, you know for my musical.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: You guys turned the sitcom Scrubs into a musical. What
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: musical would you then try to turn into a sitcom?
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: And who would be cast?
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Oh shit? Wow? If I could turn a musical into
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: a sitcom, that's a tough one. They do it a lot,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: you know, uh he ish if.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go Disney musicals because that's probably ones
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: that are easily viewed. Like they did Cinderella and they
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: made it so it wasn't a musical and that worked
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: kind of. I guess any of those fairy tales could work,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: uh not as musical, but if you like talking traditional Broadway,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: that's way more verse than that.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Donald just knows Disney musicals. I'm trying to think
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: of what would be a good What's a Something Rotten
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: was a great musical that I really loved. I know
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: this is sort of a weird reference because most people
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: won't get it unless you're a Broadway geek, But I
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: think that could make a good That would have made
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: a good series.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Noise Bringing the Funk would be a great live action series.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: Just take out all the tapping and all the music
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: and just have people talk.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, he's down.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Well, then what if you were to take you know,
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: something that's been on TV, you know, if it was
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: mash or Cheers or I Love Lucy or you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: something like that and put it on Broadway.
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: What would you what would you pick there?
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that's I mean, you could do anything with that.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a great Broadway show. All
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: of these things, Like, when you really think about it,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: any any any television you could turn into into a
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: musical because you're adding an extra exciting element.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: And the Buffy I didn't see it, but Buffy did.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: It's one of the best. It's one of the best TV. Yeah,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: it's one of the best TVs ever. It's like this, uh,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: this witch or not a witch. It's like a demon
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: comes to town or something like that and makes it
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: so everybody has to sing. The ship's scary too. It's
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: not like some there's a silent episode. Yo. You want
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: to talk about dope television. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Yo,
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: that's some dope TV.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Joel is furiously gnawing her head.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I've never seen that, dude. It's good. Then, it's good,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: like straight out of.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: A vampire guy. As soon as you say vamp, I
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: don't have to get started.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: This is the show that started it all though, you
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, Buffy the movie started all of
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: that ship and then and then the telephone.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Other than doctor Acula, I'm not much interested in in
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: anyone else's Doctor Acula.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Would be a great music doctor musical, great musical.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Jackson, the musical Alabama Jackson that I'd love to make
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: that musical.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: Don't swim, Let's make it all right?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: What's your next question?
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: We we love watching shows repeatedly and tracking character development
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: and evolution, you know, through those shows sometimes JD and Turk,
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: as you guys have said, are indistinguishable from Zach and Donald.
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: In what unexpected ways did these characters evolve during the show?
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: And I guess, in what unexpected ways did portraying these
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: characters change you as people?
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: It became it's a great question, and it became more
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: and more me and Donald because Bill would, like you know,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: run out of storylines and he would just be like,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: what did you and Donald do this weekend?
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: In the next episode?
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: No, we really, you know, because the characters. I think
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons we got the parts was we
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: were we were similar to the characters, really.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: I mean and.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: And then and then we leaned into it, and Bill
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: evolved the characters around us and around our strengths and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: around what we found funny and thank god, you know
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Bill and and we? Is that the way you say it?
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: We and Bill, Bill and Bill and us have the
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: same have the same sense of humor.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to get upset about it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think that we here's a great question I'm
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: gonna build off of yours. Donald, Is there any way
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: any way that you're nothing like Turk?
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I'm not a doctor.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Like no, I'm I mean, I mean other than the obvious,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, like personality wise, I think you're pretty.
• 52:43
  Speaker 12: I mean he is a family man, a family many
• 52:49
  Speaker 12: everything that I played in.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I don't like Appletini's and that upsets people. So I'm
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: sorry to have to tell you that I love sports
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: like I tweeted that. I once tweeted that, and every
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: someone wrote everything I believed is a lie.
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: That's a little.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I I think that.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I think I think as you see from as you
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: hear from listening to the podcast, we are we are
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: quite similar. I think to the to the to the characters.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: That's probably why the reasons this has been so popular
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: for people, because it's kind of like just chilling with
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: with with Jad and Turk in a lot of ways,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: except we're allowed to curse now and and we we
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes get explicit, like when we had that couple on Jowell,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: we're due for them to come back. We need to
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: check in see if there's been any evolution.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Mention them every single episode.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: No, we don't know.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: We don't. Fascinating maybe fascinating situation.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe once a month. It's it's the most Jerry Springer
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: we ever got, and we're kind of not.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Don't don't, don't don't.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's Jerry Springer. It's just the fascinating situation.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: We both are into what they were talking about, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: so we want to hear more.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: We're curious. They're very good guests, but you guys are better.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: All Right, it's time for Fort Wayne, Indiana's favorite segment. Donald,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: It's time to fix your lie. We have some new
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: sound effects to go along with that one you just heard.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: I might try this one or I might try this one.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: All right, that's Jerry, that's Jerry sprigger. That one is.
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: Listen to the last episode that you posted like this morning,
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: like whatever came up this.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you've heard some of these sound effects.
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: Sound?
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. My whole desk is sound pads. Now,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: all right, go ahead, how do we fix your life?
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: We're good at this. We're all rusty. You haven't had
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: a guest in a moment, so we're ready, Donald lean forward.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go go like Donald lean foring like this, So.
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: Art fix your Life is on behalf of fine arts
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: teachers and students everywhere.
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: We feel that, you know, a lot of our students
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: are stressed and drained.
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: Mental health is suffering in our schools and the arts,
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: as we said earlier, give students and communities a creative
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: outlet and an escape.
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: But nationwide, a lot of these programs are facing cutbacks.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: You both clearly had meaningful arts experiences as part of
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: your education. Drawing on those, how would you advocate for
• 55:33
  Speaker 7: fine art programs in schools or help us advocate?
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Tell all? I mean, tell us, first of all, you've
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: got a whole fuck ton of people listening right now,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: so tell us and them what to do. I know
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: that this is a problem. I know that schools are
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: cutting back on these programs because of budget cuts, particularly
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: public schools.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: That's where the hits are really taking it, you know,
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: go to private because of all of the budget cuts
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: that are happening in the public schools. Which is it's
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's you know, for people that are in public
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: school and have to deal with some of these cutbacks,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: it's very very scary. Like you know, the schools in
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: La there's a nurse that comes once a month, you
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, there's no nurse stationed in schools,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: So if your child has a nut allergy, or if
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: something happens and a nurse just doesn't happen to be
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: there that day. You know, it's like there's so many
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: there's so many things, Jim, that's that's that's on its
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: way out the door, you know what I mean, Physical
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: physical education that's out the door, you know. And music
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: that you know, we've been fighting for music for how
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: long now and and and it still can't you know,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: the bill still can't get passed to keep music in
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: all schools. It's such a it's so it's draining, especially
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: for someone who's in the arts. You guys are in
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the arts, and you're trying to teach the arts to kids.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine all of the barriers, you know, Like,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what your school is like, but how
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: do you get music into the school like it? Maybe
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: if you tell people you know about the problems that
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: you're dealing with, maybe that'll help people.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe that'll make people I want to invest.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: What comes to my mind is is getting people to
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: show up to these these meetings, these budget meetings where
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: these decisions are made. I know they're all gone. Those
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: meetings or can get pretty wacky.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: But if you have.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: If you have people that come and can add, if
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: you can rally the people in the community whose children
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: have been affected positively by this, and especially not and
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: probably bizarrely not even just like, oh my god, these
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: amazing teachers made my son an incredible pianist or guitarist
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: or horn player. That that they've changed him. He's got confidence,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: he's got he's got this, He's got that he has
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: friends who that he's never made before. Talking about the
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: impact little that rant I went on before, and having
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: people advocate for the budget appropriation towards towards that I
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: assume would be the best route, right I mean, unfortunately,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: we trying to fix your life. But you guys know
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: the world of this better than we do.
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just it's it's so much more than just
• 58:19
  Speaker 9: I go to class and play an instrument for forty
• 58:22
  Speaker 9: five minutes and then leave like That's how a lot
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: of people see it. Even the other teachers sometimes see
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: it that way. But but the kids will tell you
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: also that that's not the case. And it's really hard
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: to convince anyone in the community sometimes or in communities
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: that it's it's not just that it's so much.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Well, well, these things get decided, you know, there are
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I guess it's the school board or it's the city council.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sorry, I'm naive in this area,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: but I would. I would. I would rally. If you're
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: facing this in your town, you're listening to these two
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: amazing music teachers, it would be about rallying people to
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: show up at those hearings and and and and give
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: testimonials and and I really discussed why it makes such
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: a difference. The other thing I know the public school
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: in my neighborhood does is they they fundraise to augment
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: the program with the parents because it just wouldn't. I
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it would exist without without hardcore
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: getting sponsors, getting you know, you know, that's why the
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the school is outside is covered with like ads for
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: realtors and and and things because they've they've given money
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: to have their giant I'm a realtor in the neighborhood poster,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: you know, anything like that that that's outside the box
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: that that raises, that helps raise the money. So the
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: program that's the only.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Way, that's the only way things are getting done is
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: parents have to get involved. Even though you're going to
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: a public school, you got to treat it like a
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: private school and put the money and invest back into
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: the school in order to get some of these programs going.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: That's that's the honest to goodness truth. You can have
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: a you can have an ain't.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: Gonna do it. They're trying to stop public broadcasting. Yo.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, man like, I don't want to get political.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna shut the fuck up.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: You can have you can have a fundraising a fundraising
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: concert where where you know, maybe you guys play a
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: little bit, maybe the kids play a little bit. Maybe
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: some of your adult friends who are like uh, you know,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: really talented play and and and and then and then
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: the the children play, maybe some particular standouts have solos
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and that kind of things just to just to and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: then maybe even at the fundraiser, the kids share why
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the program has meant so much to them. And then
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: you do, like you know, you do let you auction
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: off things like a personal piano lesson from one of
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: you guys, or you know, things like that, things that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: are in the community. Thing you get people that you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: get parents to donate things, and I don't know, I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: know these are these aren't like like revolutionary ideas, but.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: It's just tough when you don't have the instruments and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: stuff like that to put on somebody shows. I know
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: that that's what happens a lot.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: Also.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: You know, well, I bet they could get a local
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: place to to donate some amps and some new instruments
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and we're lucky. Yeah, they could say this this event
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: is sponsored by so and so's music rental place.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: That's actually a great idea, But it doesn't happen that
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: way all the time.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: Sometimes kids have to share instruments. Yeah, right, and that sucks.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: You don't want to share a recorder with somebody.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to share it. I don't want to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: share all. We have to remember those sticks with the grooves.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Do you still have the sticks with the grooves on them? Yeah?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I remember that from my childhood. That was the first
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: thing they gave us with two sticks.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: With the grooves of them. Oh yeah, like the rhythm. Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is fun, this is well so
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: much by Daniel. What are you going to say? What
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: do you go?
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: It's I mean, it's it's a it's a you know.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: I think playing to these strengths of things like social
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 11: media can also help. Like I see so much kind
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 11: of advocacy happen on things like TikTok right now because
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: people take in so much media and listen to so
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 11: much stuff via that and sharing the powers of music
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 11: and music teaching through things like TikTok and just you know,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: I hate to put it this way, but like going
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 11: viral with teaching people about music is a way to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 11: really show the power of teaching music in public schools
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 11: and how underfunded it is. So I think if you can,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 11: just if you do a fundraiser, put videos of it
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 11: on TikTok, if you see kids that are, like, you know,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 11: espousing the values of music teaching. Throw that on TikTok
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 11: as well, and just create a presence for yourself in
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 11: a social media that people are taking in all the time.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: It's it's free, it's on your phone, and I think,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 11: you know, that's a way that you can get yourself
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: out there.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: That's smart.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Dale. And I also think, you know, not to be
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: a dead horse, but to really highlight because some parents
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: will be some parents will be like, Okay, great, I'm
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: glad he's having a good time, but he needs to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: get a job. He's not gonna be a guitar player.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: You need to highlight the ways that these classes are
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: are shaping them and and and and and making them
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: better young men and women, boys and girls whatever, in
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: ways that aren't even related to the instrument. You know,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I think that parents who aren't who are like, oh great,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he likes it, but he's not going to
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: be a trombone player. You know that you're you're you're
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: explaining like, no, you don't understand the value this child
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: is getting out of his class. You know, Yeah, all right,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: you're welcome, You're welcome. I don't know how well we
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: did that.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't really help that much.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: They helped us, they educated if anything.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Like I feel, I I I know, I know what
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: you're going through, and I I don't understand how this
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: is such a uh why this not how but why this.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: Is such an issue? Music opens up so many doors
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: so much.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: It's mathematical, there's so many things that you can teach
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: through music, and for some reason people don't think it's
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's useful at least a government doesn't think it's
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: useful as far as educational goes, and that just makes
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: no sense to me.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: For me, most of most of my education was in
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: theater camp, but that's no different. It was a teacher
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: teaching me and I it's where all my self confidence
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: for public speaking and being in front of people came from.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: All of it. I didn't learn that in a math class.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't learn that in a in any other class.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: I learned it from from having the the waivos to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: get on stage in front of people and and have
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: a great teachers push me and encourage me, and and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: it made me someone who could perform and speak in
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: front of people, which is an incredible skill to have
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: for whatever you're going to be in your life. You
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: know those aren't. That's not a skill set you're going
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: to learn in any other class, you know. True, I
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: don't say preachm.
• 1:05:00
