38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: saying just before we started recording that you know that

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you had been homeschooling your kids, So this isn't as

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: odd of a switch for you. Tell everybody a little

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: bit about that.

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: We've been homeschooling forever.

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Billy is twelve, Kates almost ten, and we've been homeschooling

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: for since, all the way through elementary school.

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: Here.

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: One thing in this is the friends, obviously, and we've

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: been taking this thing super seriously, and we're totally locked

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: down because we've got Nicole, my wife's father here, who

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: has some pre existing challenges and pre existent conditions, and

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: so we've been taking this thing by the letter. And

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: so look, we're lucky enough to live in this place.

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I built a baseball field during the writer's

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: strike on Scrubs, and so there's a baseball field right

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: behind me. And so we use that almost as a playground.

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: And you know, there's stuff. This is a kid compound,

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: so they can run around here. They don't get to

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: see their friends. They don't go to do dance and

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: aeriel and pottery and all the stuff you do when

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: you're not homeschooling or go out of the beach friends.

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: Do you have friends like I was just thinking about Donald,

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: who are homeschooling for the first time. Who are calling

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: you like gonny advice or anything? Because I'm watching Donald

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: do it and he's like hiding out in his closet.

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: I've run my kids. This is how bad.

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: People don't call.

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: This department for that. They call upstairs to the nicole department.

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, go Well, then she and I need to

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: get on the phone because I am failing miserably. My

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: wife is My wife is a champion. She runs the household.

70
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: But I feel like I'm starting to slack so much

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: that she's like, when this is over, I'm leaving you.

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: I think if you could compartmentalize and play to your strengths, Donald,

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: you'd be better off.

74
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: I don't have many strengths. Johnny, you do.

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: You got sports, Johnny said, he's doing pe. You could

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: be in charge of bee.

77
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Dude.

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: I have a competitive spirit in me that won't allow

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: my kids to beat me. I have problems. Guys have problems. Well,

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: then here my son screams at me because I never

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: let him win. He meeting me at this We have

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: this thing called Papa Shot, and it's like you know

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: how you go to the carnival, of course, and you

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: get to shoot as many jump shots as you can

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: and you burst somebody. We have that. He destroys me,

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: and that so much so that I don't want to

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: play the game anymore. Man.

00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so I'm still for you guys doing this.

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: This this podcast I've listened to. This is either the

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: fourth or fifth one I've listened to everything, and it's

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: I've listened to it while I'm working out, because it's

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: about an hour and a half or so, and I

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: put it on and I go in the garage and

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: it just makes me happy?

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Does it? Does it get when the theme song comes on?

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,960

00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: in my Crewe see Donald so goddamn talent that he

110
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: could sing all these songs and remember his lines.

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: I could only do one thing, remember my lines.

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk about that for a second, Johnny,

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: because Donald did. Donald you well, as far as I

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: see it, in the world of scrubs, there were two extremes.

115
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: There was you knowing every fucking piece of syllable and

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: punctuation mark and Donald being like am I in the scene.

117
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Donald's so goddamn talented that even if it

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: took him.

119
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: Three or four takes, the fourth take was perfect. It

120
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: was heaven. I mean in this episode.

121
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: In this episode, we'll talk about this, but there's a

122
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: scene where he dances to Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson knockoff

123
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: and Billy had to be just it's like a fair

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: catch in football. He's just like that was manna from

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: heaven that an actor would bust that out.

126
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 4: That's not on the page. No, that was not on

127
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: the page.

128
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 2: I think that's also the beginning of turk dancing and

130
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: damn near.

131
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: Believe a gift.

132
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Johnny, what was talk a little bit about

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: how you did those because sometimes, just for people who

134
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: are listening, Johnny would sometimes get those speeches the night before,

135
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: because the.

136
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Writers were sometimes the day before, hours before absolutely speech.

137
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just I for those of you who

138
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: don't memorize for a living, it's can be very hard.

139
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: But doing what Johnny had to do on the spot

140
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: is sometimes close to impossible. So I remember you having

141
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: a bit of a system, will you will you talk

142
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: about that for people?

143
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: Well, I keep these composition books.

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: Uh, you know the composition books you have in high school,

145
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: those black and white things. Well, the first thing I

146
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: do is I write out the text in my own hand,

147
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: and then in the margins I put the verbs of

148
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: what I'm doing. And so that just by virtue of

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: writing it out starts to get it in your skull.

150
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: And then by assigning verbs to every action that you're doing,

151
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: that's the second stage.

152
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: And then if I had time, I keep a rehearsal

153
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: space here. I would go.

154
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: Down and there's a whole kind of little film studio downstairs,

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: and I would.

156
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Get in front of that.

157
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: But a lot of times that was out the window

158
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: because Billy would hand it to you on your way

159
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: into the hospital. And I'm not being method. Hospital. We did,

160
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: in fact, work in a defunct hospital. Sometimes I'll say

161
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: that to different people, are like, ooh, you're so method.

162
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, not fucking method. It was a hospital.

163
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: So I set the fuck up, and so I got

164
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: when I got to the hospital, and they would hand

165
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: me new lines every year.

166
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: Disney would give us make it up.

167
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: You guys, remember but fifteen hundred dollars to improve our

168
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: dressing rooms. Since our dressing rooms were hospital rooms where

169
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: people had died and where people had been saved. And

170
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: what I did with my fifteen hundred dollars is I

171
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: doubled down, and I hired an acoustic firm, and they

172
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: came in and soundproofed my dressing room so I wouldn't

173
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: have to hear you idiots.

174
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: In the hallway and all the dogs.

175
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: For some reason, because one or two of you brought

176
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: your dogs, the whole crew decided, well, if Zach and

177
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: Donald can do it, the guy in sound and the

178
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: guy the production is.

179
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: That he can do it. So all of a sudden

180
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: there was a pack.

181
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: Of about son marteen dogs, and as Karma would have it,

182
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: And I like dogs. I hate most people's dogs. I

183
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: just I like dogs, but I don't like them at work.

184
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: And so I remember, I remember that. I remember all

185
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: I all you would hear was get out.

186
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember space two pages, single space.

187
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: Do you remember do you remember in the Christmas Story

188
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: how he's always fighting the dogs next door. That was

189
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: like Johnny C on our on our floor, because Johnny

190
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: C was like, oh, someone shut the dogs up. The

191
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: dogs all wanted to be with Johnny C in a round.

192
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 4: Absolutely and so much so that I don't know what

193
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: you guys are. Remember, I don't know what season.

194
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: But I wrote a letter to our bosses at Disney,

195
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: to the HR Department Human Resources. And then I did

196
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do with an angry letter. I

197
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: according my grandfather, I put it in the drawer for

198
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: two nights. You're supposed to take angry letters. You don't press.

199
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: This was not when you press send. I wrote it,

200
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: and I put it in the drawer for two nights.

201
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: And in the intervening time, someone.

202
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: Got nipped by a dog on our war and Disney

203
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: found out about it, not because of me, and they

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: were like, what, there are seventeen dogs kissing and shitting

205
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: on the third floor.

206
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: I took that letter and I put it right over

207
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: in the shredder because.

208
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought I thought you were I thought you were

209
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: going to give us a big reveal that you had

210
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: written the HR letter. But you're saying you never said

211
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: to it.

212
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: I did not. I kept it in the drawer, and

213
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: then I was let off the hook.

214
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: Because if you're the guy who made it so that

215
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: people couldn't bring their goddamn dogs to work.

216
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: Then you're that guy.

217
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: I was look the fact of the matters that you asked,

218
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: how do you memorize those things?

219
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: Good?

220
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: Fear?

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: Fear is a really good thing.

222
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: And I was just afraid to disappoint Billy, and I

223
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: wanted him to write those things for me.

224
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: And so you were so good at a way to

225
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: get him into my skull.

226
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: You were so good at it, John, And those rants.

227
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: I was looking on YouTube just as we're gearing up

228
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: for this episode, and just like people have like top

229
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: five Doctor Cox rants, like it's like a thing. People

230
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: love to just listen back to those, and just some

231
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: of them are just so epic and hilarious.

232
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 3: Where they get hard is when Billy started, and I

233
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: don't know whether it was season four or five six,

234
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: it's a good problem. When he just started writing lists

235
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: that had nothing to do with the item that came

236
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: before it, and he just write two pages of lists

237
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: reasons why I don't care about you becoming a doctor

238
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: or something like that, and they're just this random list.

239
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: Those were hard memorizing the story is, but these lists

240
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: to two pages, single space a list.

241
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: On the other side, we were talking about how Donald

242
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: would show up and be like, oh shit, I got

243
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: a monologue today.

244
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: You know, that was a time in my life. That

245
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: was a time in my life. I don't know, I

246
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: just I don't know what was the matter with me.

247
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: I smoked. I smoked a lot of marijuana back then too,

248
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: not that I don't now, but I smoked a tremendous

249
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: amount back then. I don't think this was the beginning

250
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: of the run that I did this. I think as

251
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: I got comfortable, things changed, and as the show got successful,

252
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: things changed and I slacked, and I remember somebody asking

253
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: me like, dude, what do you do when you go home?

254
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: And I was like, I live my life. They were like,

255
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: they were like, but what about your job. I was like,

256
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: it's getting done, like I was.

257
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: So I think you just got comfortable that you knew

258
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: that you'd get it, and you knew that it would

259
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: be cut together and be funny. So you're just like figge.

260
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I was. Yeah, you know,

261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. Since then, I have,

262
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: you know, I've tried to make sure that if I

263
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: ever ran into anyone else, if I ran into people

264
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: on other jobs that worked with me on Scrubs and

265
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: remembered how I was on scrubs, I wanted them to

266
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: have a completely different opinion of me after we finished working.

267
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: And so it's if anything, uh, all of the you know,

268
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: all of the you know, me being unprepared and stuff

269
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: like that prepared me for later on because now forget

270
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: about it. You know, I'm like you, Johnny, if I

271
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: mess up a line, I'm putting a hole through a

272
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: wall or something like that. You know what I mean.

273
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: I want you to get it done in three or

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: four takes. I want us to get out of here

275
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: get it.

276
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: If I'm not done it, If I can't do it

277
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: in three takes, then forget about it, man. Like, then

278
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: I've wasted I feel like I've wasted everybody's time.

279
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: Well I feel that more, and especially now when it's

280
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: not your own show. When I'm going to do a

281
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: supporting part on something and I fuck up a line,

282
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: I just I get so mad at myself.

283
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: You know.

284
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know, after doing the show for nine years,

285
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: we were so comfortable, and that that comfortableness led to

286
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a lot of amazing stuff because there was no wrong answer,

287
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: and we were so silly with each other and we

288
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: could riff. But now I find when I go do

289
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: roles where I'm not the lead, or I'm supporting, or

290
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: i'm or I'm in any whatever I'm doing. I'm really

291
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: get mad at myself if I fuck up a line

292
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: like I really, I really put more effort into it

293
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: than I ever have.

294
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: I was about to say, because Zach, I remember a

295
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: night where you put the sides people out there who

296
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: don't know what sides are there, the piece of paper

297
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: where the line where they write, the where they miniaturize

298
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: the script into.

299
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: The tiny Each day we get a tiny version of

300
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: the script. It's probably I don't know what is it,

301
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: like eight inches by four inches.

302
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Something like that. I remember one night where you tape

303
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: those sides to my forehead on off camera.

304
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would like everyone to google Marlon Brando

305
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: in The Godfather and you'll see and you can just

306
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: put in like Marlin Randa Godfather line memorization and you'll

307
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: see a picture with James Kahn with a huge poster

308
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: board taped to his chest. Now, I'm not saying is

309
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: this real? Yeah, I'll send you guys the picture. I'm

310
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: not saying I'm I'm I'm Marlon Brando, but I am

311
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: saying you're James Kahn and I, uh, yeah, listen, there's

312
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: times where you go, I'm fucked. I do not know this. Donald,

313
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: would you mind taping this to your forehead?

314
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: No, you didn't say, Donald, would you mind? You were like,

315
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: come here. No, used to I remember taking on and

316
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: being like you mother, I will know.

317
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: What we used to do is like, whenever there was

318
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: a place to hide them out of camera, we'd tape

319
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: them to the desk, We'd tape them to whatever. Sometimes

320
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: you tape them to the front of the camera. But

321
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I remember that one time and I couldn't get it

322
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: down and was like the time was running out, and

323
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Donald, I'm so sorry, but I need

324
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: my character needs to be looking at your face. Johnny,

325
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: you never did that. Donald, Donald and I would hide

326
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: our sides all over the place. I don't have any

327
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: memory you ever do it.

328
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: Johnny used to have like little notes here and there

329
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: in your hand.

330
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: No, but not he wouldn't hide them and reference them

331
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: during the scene like you.

332
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: No.

333
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: No, No.

334
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: I just if I was struggling with Latin, which all

335
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: medical terms are Latin based, if I was struggling with

336
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: something in Latin that I hadn't been on the phone

337
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: with real JD for an hour the night before I

338
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: would I would fanatically put it on those clipboards that

339
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: we carried, and the last second I'd take a look. Now,

340
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: I remember, the hardest one ever was broken heart syndrome.

341
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: Was took a subo cardio myopathy. And that's about this long,

342
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: and I still freaking remember it took a subo cardio myopathy.

343
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: Now, legend has it that some of the best home

344
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: tests for movies or television shows have happened at your house.

345
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: Is it true that you once dug a hole in

346
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: your backyard for a part? No, that's not true.

347
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: No are what are you talking about? Why would he

348
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: dig a hole in his backyard?

349
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: I thought he was self taped and was digging a hole.

350
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh oh, he's saying that you, you like, got all

351
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: into yourself tapes and would dig holes. What would that

352
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: be for platoon? Like he's gonna audition like something.

353
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: No. No, I met with Oliver five times. No, No,

354
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: but you did.

355
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: But you did used to self tape at home a lot.

356
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: Though at some point, right well.

357
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: When that came into vogue.

358
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: Sure, now you can do it on this thing, but

359
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: for a little while, you know, there's a camera on

360
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: a tripod down there was down in the rehearsal space,

361
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: and yeah, for a little while that that's what auditions

362
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: came to be.

363
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Donnie, that's a good segue into into your auditioning

364
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: for this. You Donald and I and we asked Sarah

365
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about our experiences.

366
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: Hilarious, right, I listened to all of it yesterday. It

367
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: was genius.

368
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: So tell us about yours, because you know, you heard

369
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Bill's telling of yours. But I think I think our

370
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: fans are interested and how it all came to be.

371
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember, like your very first time reading and

372
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: all that.

373
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you had already been in so many other

374
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: things before this.

375
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: I know you were coming to it from a very

376
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: different space because you'd been in such amazing movies. And

377
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: I just wondered, you know, Donald had done some work.

378
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: I had done virtually nothing, So how is it different

379
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: for you?

380
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: I was coming from because I heard Zachie, I heard

381
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: yours with that you were a waiter at the La Colonial.

382
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were a waiter over there.

383
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: And I know Donald had done Denzel's movie and done something.

384
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: But I was on a track and how to take

385
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: something off of this? So it doesn't sound arrogant, but

386
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 3: I was on about I was on a track of

387
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: doing about four films a year, and in my brain

388
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: it was that if you ever, I said yes to everything.

389
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: So I did plenty of stinkers, but I just always

390
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: felt like that more film begat more film. So I

391
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: was just always around the world doing whatever you offered me.

392
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: And I wasn't going to come off the film train.

393
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: And so then they sent me scrubs and there was

394
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: as Billy told you, there was a John McGinley part

395
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: in parentheses. It said a John McGinley type for doctor Cox.

396
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, just make the offer, and as

397
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: you mean, yeah. So I went into meet with Billy

398
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 3: over at Disney and that was great. He was, you know,

399
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: he was one of the great guys in the planet.

400
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: And then.

401
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: By the time, actors do this weird thing when they

402
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: get a little too comfortable as they subvert themselves, and

403
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: I felt like I did that because there were tears

404
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 3: of different hierarchy that you had to go through on

405
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: this thing. There was the casting people, which I got

406
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: to skip. There was Billy. Then you had to audition

407
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: to Disney. Then you had to audition at NBC, and

408
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: so I tanked the one at Disney.

409
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 4: And I don't know why. I was either lazy or

410
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 4: presumptuous or but a socked.

411
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: Know you, Donny, did you feel that in the room?

412
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: I always know?

413
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: And so I told I said, Billy, just let me

414
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: go to the next level and I'll blow the back

415
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: of the room out, don't I just filed a few

416
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 3: off at Disney.

417
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: And when I went to NBC, as.

418
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 3: You guys have sorted it out with Billy and Sarah,

419
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: there's a room not much bigger than the one I'm

420
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: sitting in, maybe sixteen by twenty, and it's the casting

421
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 3: guys room.

422
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: And there's people on the fennel, on the fence.

423
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: There's people everywhere, hiding on the city, sitting on the ground.

424
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: Over It's like a bad Thanksgiving talent show production with

425
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: your aunts and uncles. And so I didn't recognize there

426
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: were four or five other doctor Coxes there. I didn't

427
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: recognize any of them. And I was just like, it

428
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 3: didn't really matter because I already did.

429
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: Just for actors.

430
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: You can get good at auditioning, and I got really

431
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: good at it because I used the rehearsal.

432
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: Space as a spot to get.

433
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: This four minute compressed little impression you make a discipline down.

434
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 3: I got really good at it. The fact that I

435
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: tanked that Disney didn't matter. I was doing some other bullshit.

436
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: But when I went into that room, I was just

437
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 3: going to fucking kill it.

438
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: And I did.

439
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: And when I shut the door, and at the time,

440
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: I had this Jersey muscle car. I had a Mustang

441
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: five point zero black convertible and I started driving home

442
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: in the one oh one and I was like, I

443
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: put Bruce on and it was blaring, and I'm like,

444
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: I definitely got that.

445
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: And if I didn't, the show sucks.

446
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: Bill sold.

447
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: Do you hear Bill's story where you said, Johnny, how

448
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: do you feel it? You said, like cash, money or

449
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: something like that.

450
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: I said it was money. I said money. He said,

451
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 4: if you want to do it again?

452
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: And I'm like, for I hate when directors say do

453
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: you want to do it again?

454
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 4: Because if you got it, you got it.

455
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: Because all I do when I do things again. When

456
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: you asked me, I'm gonna start changing things. And I

457
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: hate rewriting. If everything's I like to rewrite shit. I

458
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 3: don't like to rewrite anything. I like it on the

459
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: page I like to crush it and I like to leave.

460
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: And then if you ask me to keep doing it

461
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: again and again, I'm gonna get bored because I know

462
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: you have it in the can, and I'm gonna start

463
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: changing things. And what I did with doctor Cox over

464
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: the years is so I changed his syncopation. I turned

465
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: into this kind of Martin SCORSESEI on LSD thing where.

466
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: I did these long pauses. And because I was getting bored.

467
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: And again, like sometimes you'd walk in out and do

468
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: some like like crazy pause, I was, and.

469
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: I would stretch these words and.

470
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: I want people love that when you go right.

471
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: I was bored. I want to fucking some more. I

472
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 4: wanted more challenges.

473
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: And so that's the actor's brains, if it's really firing,

474
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: like our brains were on that thing. Remember, people don't

475
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: understand we were there sixteen hours a day, five days

476
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: a week. We spent much more time with each other

477
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 3: than we did any semblance of family because there's a

478
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: finite amount of hours in a week. And for nine years,

479
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: pretty much we were together for fourteen to by the

480
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: end of the week, sixteen hours and in.

481
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: A hospital, in an abandoned hopital, in.

482
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: An abandoned hospital.

483
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: And it's almost like Donald will understand when your practice

484
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: and free throws. If you do nothing but practice free throws,

485
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: you will get good at it.

486
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: You just will.

487
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: And by virtue of beat, just scrub saturation, people got

488
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: really good at their jobs. Yeah.

489
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the other thing. I remember times where

490
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: we'd you'd have like long, long monologues. There were times

491
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 2: where you didn't get it in one take, but then

492
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: there were times where you would get it in one take.

493
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: And I remember directors being like, should we go again,

494
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: and you being like, we got it, let's go, and

495
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: like we only got one take, John, and I don't

496
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: moving it on, Let's go.

497
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: There's so many Donald, let's go through some of our

498
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: favorite johnnyisms. One that just came to my mind was

499
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: moving on, there's five good.

500
00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: Ones for you.

501
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: There's five good ones for you. Was when you would

502
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: shake your hand.

503
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: How are you better now?

504
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

505
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: Better now?

506
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: And then he'd go when we were done with John

507
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: Michelle was the name of one of our editors, And

508
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: when when when we were done with the scene and go,

509
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: I think we gave Jean Michelle some memmo.

510
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, cut to cut through a couple of days later,

511
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm down in the editing suite just micromanaging everything John

512
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: Michelle was doing all.

513
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: I know.

514
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: You were always That's.

515
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: Where that was like your that was your that was

516
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: your escape from hanging out on the third.

517
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: Floor from the dogs.

518
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: From the dogs, you just run down to editing and

519
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: be like, show me what you got.

520
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: But I also had a post production company in New

521
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: York for when I when I lived in New York

522
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: up in the Brill Building for fifteen years, and so

523
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 3: post is a very comfortable place for me.

524
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and and uh and and I just remember

525
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: you being even Donald and I were always trying to

526
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: sneak in there as well, and you'd be like, I remember,

527
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: I have great memories of you being like, come in here.

528
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: You gotta see that, you gotta.

529
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: Well.

530
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: People have to understand it was a very insular place.

531
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 4: There was no place to go.

532
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: It was Scrubs University in this five story abandoned hospital,

533
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: and you had to be there. You couldn't really go

534
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: off campus. You'd get in trouble because invariably we'd skip

535
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: a scene and would say where's John and he went

536
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: down to do something?

537
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: To say he can't go down to do anything.

538
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: It's interesting to be on here. When you're on a

539
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: back lot, you can saunter around and you can talk

540
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: to other shows, and you can talk to people that

541
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with your show. But there was

542
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: something I think great that happened on our show in

543
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: that we were so insular, Like Johnny said in that hospital,

544
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: that it made us extra close because we never went anywhere.

545
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't like we just all were always together. And

546
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: I think.

547
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: Something Billy didn't share, which I've brought to different films

548
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: TV shows I've produced since, is Billy introduced the first

549
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: or second day of shooting in the cafeteria, which is

550
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: the largest space that one hundred and twenty person crew

551
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: could all congregate.

552
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: He got everybody together.

553
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: And he told them that he was going to put

554
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 3: a no asshole policy in place, and everybody laughed, and

555
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: you know, sounded kind of stupid, and Billy's the least

556
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 3: confrontational person on the planet. And what he meant was

557
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: that if you come to work, you've got to bring

558
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: at least a modicum of respect with you, otherwise don't come.

559
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: And everybody knows, just all the way back to the schoolyard,

560
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: how to be nice to each other and how to

561
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 3: be respectful, and a couple of people subsequently got fired

562
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: for the no asshole policy. It didn't mean you had

563
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: to come to work and walk on pins and needles,

564
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: but you had to come to work and be respectful.

565
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: And I thought that was great, and I do.

566
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: It on my sets now too, and if people don't

567
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: like it, they can get the fuck out.

568
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real talk. You know. Since Scrubs, I've been

569
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: a part of cast where you know, everybody's been chill

570
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 2: and lovely and everything like that, but there's there's that

571
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: one time where you have that one person where you're like,

572
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: oh my god, I wish I was still on Scrubs

573
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: right now so I could freaking sit in the background

574
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: and watch you get fired for being such a fucking

575
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: asshole right now, you know what I mean.

576
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 4: It's not that complicated, It really isn't.

577
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: It's really easy to be a good person.

578
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: We were really lucky, I think, though. I mean, there's

579
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: so many casts that when you hear about a show

580
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: that you know there's there's a finite number of shows

581
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: that go this long. And we genuinely all really liked

582
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: each other. I mean I always say that when I'm

583
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: do pressed or someone asked me about the show, and

584
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, what was the secret to the magic, and

585
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: one of them is that we genuinely all liked each other.

586
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: We genuinely all rooted for each other. When we would

587
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: see each other at the bar after after we wrapped,

588
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: we were like just as excited to see you know,

589
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: Johnny walk in the door. We and that didn't wear off.

590
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean we we we genuinely all loved each other

591
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: company for nine years.

592
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's you know, that's that's that's actually

593
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: very true. We partied so hard. After sixteen hours of

594
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: hanging out with each other a day, you would still

595
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: be like, yo, Fox and the Hound still has about

596
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: two more hours until it closes, and we'd all congregate

597
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: at Fox and the Hound after spending the whole day

598
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: in some of the night together.

599
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 3: Man like I would, I would go back to my

600
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: hospital room and go to sleep for the night because

601
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: I couldn't drive out the Malibu. And so after after

602
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: having a couple of beers, I went back to the

603
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: hospital went to sleep.

604
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 2: Wow, they just woke up the next time.

605
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: Johnny telling them about how sometimes you'd come in to

606
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: be traffic at like four in the morning.

607
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: I would I had this thing where I can't be late.

608
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: It's I just can't. I just I can't.

609
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 4: Organize being late.

610
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: And so my window was I could leave it a

611
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: normal time if I had a call time at six

612
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: or at ten, But if my call time was anywhere

613
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 3: between six and ten, I would take a six o'clock

614
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: hall time and just drive in at five, go to

615
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 3: sleep for a couple hours, memorize all the shit that

616
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: Billy was writing, and then be fresh and ready to go.

617
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: And plus there was a shower. There was a communal

618
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 3: shower at the end of our hallway, and I used

619
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: that thing all the time.

620
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: I've never I think I never showered there.

621
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 3: Donald.

622
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: I think maybe once or twice.

623
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: Oh god, I was in there every day.

624
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: Was it was it a good shower?

625
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 4: Was it a it was hot water? End care.

626
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 2: That's what's all right.

627
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: We're going to go to a break and we'll be

628
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: right book and we're back, and we're back.

629
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: We are back.

630
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Donald Dumb whenever he would him again, whenever Donald does

631
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: these ins and outs of a commercial, he turns into Oprah,

632
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: We're back.

633
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: I heard him do that with Sarah. I was listening

634
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: to it on the deck, and I was dying.

635
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: I could have given you. I could have totally given

636
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: you an Oprah introduction, John seem a good.

637
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: Night I was.

638
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: I was thinking about the one oh seven, which is

639
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: interesting that we would be doing one O seven, which

640
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: when I looked in my composition book, it was actually

641
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: one O six and it got shifted because.

642
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 4: Of nine to eleven.

643
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: Yes, and but before we get into the nine to

644
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 3: eleven of it all, which has a profound impact on

645
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: this episode. When I was looking through my composition book

646
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: down in the rehearsal space last night, when I was

647
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: looking forward to talking to you guys, I noticed that

648
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: I always in the first if you're lucky enough to

649
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: have to write a lot of different composition books like

650
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 3: we were on Scrubs, I always put a mission statement

651
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: on the first page of what I John not I

652
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: doctor Cox want to do with this thing. And I

653
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: saw that the mission statement on Scrubs was to find

654
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: a place underneath the text for with every episode where

655
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: you can say I love you to Max. And I

656
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: took that seriously because my son Max had been born

657
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: a year or two earlier, and when we started in

658
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: two thousand and one, and Max was born with challenges.

659
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: MAXI roming down syndrome. He's doing great now.

660
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: But I decided that Cox underneath it all, so that

661
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: it would never became too too drippy, just underneath it.

662
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: Every episode there had to be one spot where I

663
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: got to say I John, not doctor Cox, got to

664
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: say I love you to Max.

665
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 4: And in this episode it's it's right where.

666
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: When I'm talking to Judy and I say, just because

667
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: a guy has problems, that doesn't mean he doesn't need

668
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: and then there's this long pause and it's because I

669
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 3: kept getting an apple in my throat, and then he

670
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: says you and I I reminded me that I took

671
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: the thing, so god damn seriously, this mission stake that

672
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: I wrote to Max, yes, and it informs everything that.

673
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: Cox does, because I think Zachy knows this.

674
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: I always consider the camera an X ray machine that

675
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: it can see through all the actors bullshit. And we

676
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: all try to bring a walk and a lisp or

677
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: some eccentricity, and unless that's distilled down to a real

678
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 3: pure instinct, the camera's just like bullshit.

679
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: That's bullshit, and you can see it.

680
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: It's night and day, and so that when an actor

681
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: actually brings a mission statement that demands that he finds

682
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: a place somewhere in the text underneath it, not just

683
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: underneath the text, to say I love you to a

684
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: kid who is just born with challenges that pops that

685
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: the camera goes, Oh, that's his truth. He's telling the truth,

686
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: and that's what pops.

687
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: I love that you said that, Johnny, because I think

688
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: one of the magical things that you did with doctor

689
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Cox was find a guy who's so tough and find

690
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: a way in every episode to show that his heart,

691
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: that he was doing everything he can to protect everyone

692
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: from protect his heart and from people seeing the amount

693
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: of love. He actually had super super tough cement exterior

694
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: because he was alpha and he was a badass doctor

695
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and he didn't want people to know. But then you

696
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: would just it was like it was leaking out of him.

697
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: You could you couldn't help it, and you would see

698
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: these little moments where it's like, this guy has the

699
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: biggest heart, he's just keeping it all under wraps.

700
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: That's perfect for this episode that we're talking about right now,

701
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: one oh seven. Carla is the only person in the

702
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: hospital who's known you long enough at this point to

703
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: be able to see through that bullshit. Okay, you're being

704
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: tough on all of these people, but you care. You're

705
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: you're in it just like you know what I mean.

706
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: You're not scared, but you care. And I think that's

707
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: what started you, what started Cox. Correct me if I'm

708
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: wrong to have feelings for her, like, Okay, well, if

709
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: everybody's afraid of me and there's this one person in

710
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: the hospital who's willing to stand up to me, not

711
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: even stand up, but to call me on my bullshit,

712
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: there's a there's a special place in my heart for that.

713
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: And I honestly thought that Carla was gonna choose you know,

714
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: when we were making the show, I thought she was

715
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: gonna choose Cox over Turk. I was kind of hoping

716
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: at that when I was younger, that she would choose

717
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: Cox over Turk so that I'd have more love interests her.

718
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't wait to talk about that

719
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: with Judy when she comes on the show.

720
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: You know, the writers, the writers, as Donald was suggesting,

721
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: out of that writer's room came different, nuanced flirtations between

722
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: Cox and Carla.

723
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I never noticed that this one is obviously really prevalent,

724
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: and I hadn't. I hadn't seen this in twenty years,

725
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: but I was like, there's a vibe between those two.

726
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: It lasted for the next like five six episodes, and absolutely, yeah,

727
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: it's and then and then Cox and Turk have it out.

728
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: And then Cox.

729
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember thinking Donald, do you remember thinking like,

730
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: because we didn't know what the fuck the writers were

731
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna do you remember thinking like, oh, shit, is Judy

732
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: is Are they gonna write her to go off with him?

733
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I remember thinking that because they had history. That's

734
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: the one thing that the two of them out of

735
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: everyone in the show, and also Ken's character Kelso the

736
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: three of them all have history. But Cox and Carla

737
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: have history. Like I imagine Carla Cox was a very

738
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: young doctor when Carla came in, you know what I mean, Like,

739
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, she had been there, Carla,

740
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: Carla had been there for a while, and so they

741
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: knew each other.

742
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: They may have hooked up. They may have hooked up.

743
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. I thought there was that one

744
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: time I was.

745
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: Watching today, I was like, these two fucks, it.

746
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: Looks like the two characters have history.

747
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, and that that that we're gonna take

748
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: it to our grave and never speak about this history.

749
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: Right, And I I like Donald and like you Zachy.

750
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: I unabashedly loved Judy, and so that was an easy

751
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: thing to groove into.

752
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: You guys had great chemistry. And I was really noticing

753
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: that again we're watching all these with fresh eyes after

754
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: so many years, and I was watching this one, I

755
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: was really I don't know, I just was reminded how

756
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: good those scenes are when it was you two. You

757
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: guys had amazing chemistry together.

758
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I don't think there's any acting going on.

759
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: Like I say, the camera is an X ray machine

760
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: and it can see through bullshit, and it could see that.

761
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 4: I love Judie rays on a bachelorfor and I always

762
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 4: have that.

763
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into the elephant in the room, because

764
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: I was actually really nervous to watch this episode. It's

765
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: the first one that I was like, I had a

766
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: pit in my stomach because, as Johnny touched on, this

767
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: was the episode we were shooting when nine to eleven occurred.

768
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: Nine to eleven happened on a Tuesday. Well, we had

769
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: shot a Monday and then nine to eleven occurred, and

770
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: we should all tell our stories of that day. I

771
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: think I remember I woke up to Howard Stern, you

772
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: know when you're half awake and you're listening, and Howard

773
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: Stern was talking about it, and it got to a

774
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: point where I went, wait what And I leapt up

775
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: out of bed and I went and turned on the TV.

776
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, as we all did, holy shit,

777
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: this is what the fuck's happening in the world. But

778
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: also as a young actor who just got on a job,

779
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: I was like, what are we supposed to do here?

780
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: We do we go to work today? Like how? And

781
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: I remember I still was like, I think I'm supposed

782
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: to still go to work. So I went in and

783
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: I remember Sean Haynes, who was our guest star, was there,

784
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: and he and I sat in my dressing room and

785
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: watched it happen, and shortly that thereafter the day was canceled.

786
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Do you guys want to want to tell what your

787
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: memory of that.

788
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: I remember getting a phone call and it was like

789
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: five o'clock in the morning. I remember picking up the

790
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: phone and recognizing the number and cursing the person out

791
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 2: on the other what the fuck is your problem? I'm working,

792
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: I got work in a couple of hours. How why

793
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: are you calling me this early, you know what I mean,

794
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: And she said, and she over the phone goes, I'm sorry, shit, sorry,

795
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you that a plane crashed

796
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: into the World Trade Center. And I was like, oh shit,

797
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, wha what?

798
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: What?

799
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: Wait? What? What? And I ran to the television and

800
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 2: I turned it on, and like everybody else in America,

801
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 2: I was stuck watching television for and then Randall finally

802
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: called him, was like, we're not coming into work, you know,

803
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 2: but today the day is canceled. You don't have to

804
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: come in. But I remember just sitting in front of

805
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: the television very much like I am right now, you

806
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I feel like I wake up

807
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: every morning and my and the minute I wake up,

808
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: I turn on the news to check to see how

809
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 2: many people have COVID nineteen, how many people we lost

810
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: because of COVID nineteen, and what the plan is to

811
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: figure out how we're going to get rid of COVID nineteen,

812
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And I, you know, very

813
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: for the next week. I remember that was all that

814
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: I did was I just watched the news to see

815
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: what the heck is America going to do next? How

816
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: about you?

817
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Johnny, were you called in that day?

818
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went back and looked it up last night.

819
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: So the North Tower got hit at five forty five am,

820
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 3: and I would have left about ten minutes after that

821
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: to get there, and so I saw the first well

822
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: they didn't really show the first but it looked like

823
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: a plane went into the first building.

824
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: And then I had to go.

825
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: And so the South Tower got hit about twenty two

826
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: minutes later at six oh three our time, nine oh

827
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: three New York time, and so I would have been

828
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: listening to it on the news. But all of this

829
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: to me, there's something called a mental model, and it's

830
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: how you perceive things. In my mental model, it was it.

831
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: Was like the plane that hit the Empire State Building

832
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 4: before we were born.

833
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: It was a prop plane that went into the Empire

834
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: State Building and nothing really happened, not nothing.

835
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 4: I'm sure some people died and it was horrible.

836
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: But it sounded like that, and so that's how I

837
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 3: was driving into Burbank.

838
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 4: And when I got there that clearly wasn't the case.

839
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: And then my brother worked on the sixty second floor

840
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: of the South Tower, and so I kept trying to.

841
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: Call them so and.

842
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 3: Pretty early on it became clear that nobody was going

843
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 3: to get through on any lines, on cell lines or

844
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: landlines because those everything disconnected on those towers, and so

845
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't get through to my brother. And this is

846
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: when an actor's imagination is a curse, not a blessing.

847
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: You only imagine horrible things.

848
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 3: And it turns out in those eighteen to twenty minutes,

849
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 3: those intervening times between the North tower getting hit and

850
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 3: the South tower getting hit on March trading desk, they

851
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: all had been there when they shake from Newark, New Jersey,

852
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: had set off that bomb in the van in the

853
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: basement ten years earlier. So everyone in a Mark's trading

854
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: desk got up when the first building got hit and

855
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: they started to make their way down the stairs. But

856
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: it was such a cluster flock going down the stairs

857
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: in those eighteen minutes from the sixty second floor down,

858
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: they only made it about twenty stories. Everybody from like

859
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: seventy two up died, and so Mark got.

860
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 4: A concussion going down the stairs. I don't know how.

861
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 3: He got really disoriented, and by the time he got

862
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 3: out of the building, he wandered up the FDR Drive

863
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: to East Harlem, and so he was missing for about

864
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: twelve hours, and so made.

865
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: All the way to Harlem.

866
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: Holy cow, Was he just in shock, Johnny?

867
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: And he walked that far? Yes, wow.

868
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 3: And so I sat in the hospital for all that time,

869
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 3: and then I tried his wife, who lived out in

870
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: Short Hills, New Jersey at the time. She only had

871
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: an outgoing message on her machine saying, Mark, I know

872
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 3: you're okay. I've gone over to the Smith's house and

873
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: we're waiting for your call there. Well, no calls came

874
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: for about twelve hours, and so I sat in the

875
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 3: dressing room thinking horrible things. And then obviously the buildings

876
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 3: came down shortly after that, and what almost four thousand

877
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: Americans died, and so that was a that's the backdrop

878
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 3: for us shooting this episode. Yeah, it's kind of miraculous

879
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 3: that the episode even makes any sense that because of

880
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: what some of some people were carrying into the frame.

881
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: I agree.

882
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a weird episode. And also I don't

883
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: know if I'm bringing my own anxiety of of of

884
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: the time to it as I watch it now, But

885
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm also going we were all not present for these

886
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: however many days, one hundred percent right, absolutely, And I

887
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: felt like, especially when you look at the first episode

888
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: Chunk that we've just watched, which you're like, holy shit,

889
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: look at this show, look at their fire and on

890
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: all cylinders. This is the first one where I go, oh,

891
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: we all understandably, obviously we all look a little based

892
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: out to me.

893
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: That's when I watched it last night. I I mean,

894
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: there's obviously a lot of funny stuff in it that

895
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: I wrote down that made me laugh. But it and again,

896
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: like you, Zaki, I can't tell if it's me imposing

897
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 3: my John McGinley onto what Billy Lawrence created for those

898
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 3: twenty one minutes. But you just said disconnected it. It

899
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 3: seemed a little disconnected to me.

900
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: This one does, yes, absolutely, but how could it not be? Right? Yeah?

901
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: Right, yeah.

902
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: If mcginley's brother, If mcginley's brother just got out of

903
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: the what was the South Tower and was missing for

904
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 3: a day, what do you, superman?

905
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 4: Of course you're going to carry that in front of

906
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 4: the lens.

907
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: Now, do you guys remember we took that Tuesday off?

908
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: Did we work the next day or take that day

909
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: off as well?

910
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 4: I think we took Wednesday off and we worked Thursday.

911
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I do remember this. I remember the very

912
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: first thing we came back, believe it or not, was

913
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: that fucking dog show fantasy. So I remember feeling horribly

914
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: guilty that we should a should we even be working there.

915
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: I'm under a contract and I'm an actor and I'm

916
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: not going to ruffle anybody's feathers, but it should be

917
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 1: we be working. But then' like, yes, everyone's back to work.

918
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: Here we go, and I was like, okay, what are

919
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: we shooting. I can do this. We're gonna do a

920
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: fantasy where you're a dog at a dog show and

921
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: Johnny c is going to feel your balls. And I

922
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: was like, the first thing up, Johnny, do you remember that?

923
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: It was the first thing up? It must have been

924
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, was me.

925
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 4: I do remember now I watch it. I remember it.

926
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I remember that I wrote down.

927
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: I wrote down that during the dog show flashback, I

928
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: had decided to make you both really uncomfortable. And I

929
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: think it was because I was really uncomfortable. So I

930
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 3: love actors, and I would never do anything to ever

931
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: ever hurt of an actor, especially when it comes to

932
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: physical contact. And I think I was just I was

933
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: not appropriately gentle with you guys. I like took your ears, Zachie,

934
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: and you can see. And I took your fucking mouth

935
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 3: and I opened it up and I talked. I took

936
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: Sean's ear, and I was I was uncharacteristically for me

937
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: as an actor, not cos but I love actors so much.

938
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: I would never ever do anything to hurt them, and

939
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: I would think I was.

940
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 4: I was not appropriate with you two guys on that.

941
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: I was very rough.

942
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: I remember being man handled. Thank you for pantomiming the

943
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: testicle part, though, because I think that would have been

944
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: a little too rough on me.

945
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure.

946
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 3: At some point I put my fist up your reck them.

947
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so, at least not in this episode.

948
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: That may have been in later. I think you did

949
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: wear me like a hand puppet, but it was in

950
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: episode four.

951
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 4: I think during the dog show thing may I may

952
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 4: have engaged you.

953
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 3: Well.

954
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: We were joking with Bill about how the crazy sound

955
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: effects would would would were slowly phased out. I don't know,

956
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: maybe because we were all off in this episode. But

957
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: this episode has so many ridiculous thought effects, so many

958
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: and there's the there's like a Santa Sleigh jingle bell

959
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: noise when you gra my balls. That's like the choice

960
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: that was made somewhere in the in sound effects editing.

961
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: They were like, Okay, what's the noise for Johnny grabbing

962
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: JD's balls? Guys, how about a Santa Slave jingle bell o?

963
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 2: You know what?

964
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 4: I you know what I thought was really funny.

965
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: Zactually when you and Kenny are up on the roof

966
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: and he goes to he does kind of a fake

967
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: attacking you up on the roof. Yeah, And whether or

968
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: not you're just a great actor or if it was

969
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 3: really weird, it looked really weird.

970
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: It's a weird scene, by the way, can I just

971
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

972
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: He calls you, he goes you know what your problem is? Yeah,

973
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 2: is that you're a pansy? Like just straight up.

974
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: It's a weird scene. And I was waiting for something

975
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: to happen. I remember there was a fantasy where I

976
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: where I fell off a roof and there was a

977
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: stuntman and did a big jump and I thought, oh,

978
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: is that this But it doesn't really go anywhere, and

979
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: Ken's just up there smoking a pipe. He calls me

980
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: a pansy and then almost throws me off the roof

981
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: like legit, and then like that's the scene.

982
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 3: That's it, and and a couple of scenes before that

983
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 3: at Mine forty four when when he goes keep shooting

984
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 3: you the he he gumps over and gives you a hug,

985
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 3: and then Kenny wraps his leg A.

986
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: Right, I think that's a fantasy, Johnny, I will I.

987
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the fuck was happening there either,

988
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: And then there's a white flash out of it. I

989
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: think that's JD's fantasy because why he mounted me? Well,

990
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I think that's I wrote

991
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: down that. I think that's the only time in nine

992
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: years that Ken Jenkins ever mounted me.

993
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 2: Can we talk? Can we talk about jerking off real quick?

994
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: Yeah? A big part as a part of the show

995
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: or just in your own life.

996
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 2: Just yeah, we could talk about it both. Let's talk

997
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: about both. How about that?

998
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: Okay?

999
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: Good?

1000
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: Okay. So here's here's here's the one thing I get that.

1001
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: First of all, we have two callbacks to mash We

1002
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 2: have you as a kid playing with your brother, and

1003
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: this scene, the whole joke off scene is actually a

1004
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: scene from Mesh the movie, if I'm correct, where they

1005
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: trick somebody to go into the bathroom and drink off.

1006
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: When did jerking off become a bad thing that you

1007
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 2: got to be embarrassed about?

1008
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: Well, but you're not. You're not supposed to jerk off

1009
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: at work. Donald write that down as a surgeon, got it?

1010
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: So wait, hold up, Okay, So it's so we're clear.

1011
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 2: It's okay to masturbate, but once you do it at work,

1012
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 2: you've crossed the line.

1013
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I think this can a service announcement. This could

1014
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 1: be a public service announcement for people all over the world.

1015
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: Don't masturbate at work.

1016
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: It's crossing the line.

1017
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: The more you know, and Dan, you can put in

1018
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: a little more you know effect there.

1019
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 4: I saw something.

1020
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: I saw something when Donald and I get to do

1021
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 3: the scene that comes before this, when in the cafeteria

1022
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 3: and I tell you to go to go And what's

1023
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: the town I tell you to go to, like.

1024
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 2: Spank Town or something like something like that.

1025
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: I forgot, but what I Palmville, Palmdale. And I have

1026
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: a pet peeve with actors who wait until they swallow

1027
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 3: their food to say a line. And if you notice

1028
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 3: in that thing, I always take the soup to hear.

1029
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 4: It doesn't go in.

1030
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 3: No, it never does, don't I.

1031
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: Never eat, by the way, it's disgusting. No, whenever there's

1032
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: you will. If you ever see me eating in a

1033
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: in anything I've ever done, it's it's rare. I always

1034
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: my character is always done because I don't want to

1035
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: deal with all the continuity and eating.

1036
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, people are starting to notice that actors aren't eating

1037
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 2: on television shows or in movies now. Before before people

1038
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily notice. That's something that I think people are

1039
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: starting to notice now. Other than Brad Pitt, No one eats.

1040
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: No, whenever I see someone legit eating, Like whenever I

1041
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: see someone I watch a scene and someone's like eat,

1042
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god. They ate like that for

1043
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: probably four hours. Not correct, My character's always.

1044
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 3: Done, always, But also if it gets in the way

1045
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 3: of the actor saying the line and we have to

1046
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 3: wait for those of us in a big family, nobody waits.

1047
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 4: To talk until they swallow. There's food in their mouth.

1048
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 3: They just segregated over into kind of a chipmunk cheek

1049
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 3: and then they just fire.

1050
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 4: Out the words. Otherwise you'll lose the floor at the

1051
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 4: dinner table.

1052
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Did you guys have go to meals that you know

1053
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: they were always? There are lots of scenes where we're

1054
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: supposed to have food in front of us. Did you

1055
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: guys have a go to thing you would ask to

1056
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: be in front.

1057
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 4: Of you steak, super steak, me soup because you never

1058
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 4: have to eat it.

1059
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I'm gonna steal that, Johnny, because I'm

1060
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: always have a plate of I would always tell them,

1061
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: can you make it look like I'm done?

1062
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 4: And like you know, and because with soup you can

1063
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 4: just the spoon.

1064
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 3: The prop of the spoon is it's indefatigable, it's perfect.

1065
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: It can you can, and plus you can quow it

1066
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 4: at somebody.

1067
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: You can.

1068
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 4: It's the prop of the spoon. You use the spoon.

1069
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: I always went for steak because I could eat steak forever.

1070
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: I could eat steak like nobody's business.

1071
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: So you were eating, you were you were an eater.

1072
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: No, but if I did have like there was that

1073
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: one episode where I did have to eat uh and

1074
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: because Turk gets really bad heartburn. And it's when UH

1075
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: had the lockleer was on the show and John c

1076
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 2: myself and head a lockleer at some benefit and Carl

1077
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: is supposed to meet us there and she never shows

1078
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: up and I wind up eating a bunch of steak

1079
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: and uh end up in the hospital with really bad heartburn.

1080
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 2: Uh So I always went. I always went for steak

1081
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: because I could eat it. It tastes good, it's easy to season,

1082
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 2: throw some salt on it, you know what I mean,

1083
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: It's it's good to go.

1084
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: I thought there were a couple of different times in

1085
00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 3: this episode where despite everything, the ensemble work in one

1086
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: where you is where you pass the torch to Sean

1087
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 3: and Sean just fits right into the style of the piece,

1088
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: like he just takes the torch, we pan with you

1089
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: at a frame, we come back, Sean's put the torch

1090
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 3: down and you guys just keep doing your thing.

1091
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: That was clever. I was cleverly directed. And and I

1092
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: want to say, it's a rare moment where that's obviously

1093
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: a fantasy and there was no flash in out of it.

1094
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: I was clocking that because you know, Bill always delineated

1095
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy with a with a little white flash and

1096
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: that noise. And this is one of those rare times

1097
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: where the torch is a character, a prop character in

1098
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: the piece, and there's no It's both times it comes in,

1099
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: it's just handed off and not really discussed.

1100
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 5: What's Also, what's also interesting with Sean is Sean's introduction,

1101
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 5: which would become a classic Scrubs introduction, especially with beautiful

1102
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 5: females with wind and slow mow entrances.

1103
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 4: As they walk down a hall.

1104
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 3: Sean gets to come in on top of a gurney

1105
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 3: saving someone's life and it's just glorious.

1106
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: Dude, I wrote that down, Johnny. I'm glad you brought

1107
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: that up because I wrote that down. I think that

1108
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: might be the best entrance other than other than.

1109
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: Dick van Dyke.

1110
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 2: Dick van Dyke's entrance is pretty amazing too, but that

1111
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: might be one of the best entrances for male in

1112
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: Scrubs history.

1113
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Joelle, do we need to go a

1114

1118
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,680

1152
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: a TV show.

1153
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: Yes, bringing it home?

1154
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

1155
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: So wait, did you not know about this? Is this

1156
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: a surprise.

1157
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 6: I fot I kept it a surprise for maybe for seconds, and.

1158
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 2: You should have kept it a surprise until you guys

1159
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: zoomed in how cool had that been?

1160
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: But then you never know, you would have.

1161
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: Been like, who are these guys? Who are these guys?

1162
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 4: Right?

1163
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 2: Who are these guys?

1164
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: All right? Go ahead, guys, go ahead.

1165
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 3: Sure.

1166
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 6: So I guess the biggest question is I guess what

1167
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 6: it came down through is I watched a lot of

1168
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 6: the different Pete medical shows, and I found that throughout

1169
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 6: my training so far, and I was attending so far

1170
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 6: that the show of Scrubs actually portrays how hospital life

1171
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 6: really works the most accurate of all the medical shows,

1172
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 6: despite it being primarily a comedy. Was that something that

1173
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 6: Bill purposely did? Was that something that the staff tried

1174
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 6: to incorporate? Because I was, I mean, I listened to

1175
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 6: the first one and sell like Donald really good around

1176
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 6: the hospital?

1177
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: No, I was, I was, I was, You're absolutely right.

1178
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: I was so afraid to go into the hospital at

1179
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: that point. Listen. Since then, I've you know, I've developed

1180
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: a a listen if something's wrong or if I feel

1181
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 2: like something's wrong, I'm going right to my primary and

1182
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about it. Before that, though, I

1183
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: was just like every other person, you know, in the

1184
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 2: African American community, we have a stigma when it comes

1185
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 2: to doctors. We're very afraid of the bad news. And

1186
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: you think I'm joking. But this is the honest and

1187
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 2: goodness truth and.

1188
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 3: Very right.

1189
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: I've done. I've done PSA after PSA about talking, you know,

1190
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: talking about you know, going and getting your numbers known.

1191
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 2: Go get your lesterol, get your your b M, I,

1192
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: your your blood pressure, your blood sugar.

1193
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: I love You're trying to listen them to an er doc.

1194
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to listen.

1195
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: He was like, he was like blue close and You're like, no, no, no,

1196
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: there's four there's uh anyway, But Johnny, Johnny, why don't

1197
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: you answer because you're the special guest about about his question.

1198
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 3: I had spent the first three weeks of my son's

1199
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 3: life a couple of years earlier in the neonatal intensive

1200
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: care unit, and I carried most of that was that

1201
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 3: functioned largely is all the homework I ever needed for

1202
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 3: medical replication, trying to do medical stuff. And uh. Max

1203
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: had different challenges born down in Rome, and he had

1204
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 3: microscopicals and hard also, we had infatel seizures. We had

1205
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: all sorts of different challenges. But if you spend if

1206
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: you're the Akron, import is the nick you. If you

1207
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 3: spent three or four weeks in the nick you, you

1208
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 3: should get enough of that on you to be able

1209
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: to tell the truth in front of the lens. And

1210
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 3: so that that's largely what I was trying to honor

1211
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 3: when we were doing that medical scripts. I think Bill

1212
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 3: was relationship stuff.

1213
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: I think Bill also has said, you know, we knew

1214
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: we were going to be silly, and we knew we

1215
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: were gonna have these crazy fantasies, and we knew in

1216
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot in a lot of ways, it was gonna

1217
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: be a comedy. So he wanted the baseline. He wanted

1218
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: to drop in for all the medicine to be as

1219
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: accurate as possible.

1220
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: And and that was also something that John Doris wanted

1221
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: to the real JD wanted. He was like, listen, you

1222
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: can make fun of all of the things we did

1223
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 2: that I did in college and stuff like that, but

1224
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: it has to be grounded at the end of the day.

1225
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: Don't make a fool of us, you know what I mean.

1226
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: Make sure that that there's truth behind everything as well.

1227
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that that's one of the reason's works.

1228
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 1: And I think the American Medical Association has said, which

1229
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: we always thought was bizarre, but that they said that

1230
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: this was the most medical accurate of all the medical shows.

1231
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: So we always took that as a badge of honor,

1232
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: and I think Bill was really, really, really proud of that.

1233
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: He said, we can be as silly as we want

1234
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: to be when we get into the medicine. It's all

1235
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be real.

1236
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: And also, yeah, once you get that, once you get

1237
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 2: that tag where you got where someone says to you,

1238
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: you guys are the most medically accurate, you don't ever

1239
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: want to fall off that that bandwagon. You want to stay.

1240
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 2: You want to stay on that. You want to make

1241
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: sure that every story, at least in the first at

1242
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: least in the first eight seasons. I don't know about

1243
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: season nine, but in the first eight seasons, we made

1244
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 2: sure to stick to the actual script to keep it real.

1245
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 2: As they say, oh, is that an expression? I hear

1246
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: the kids say that nowadays. Do you have another question?

1247
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead, So that'll be the I guess the

1248
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 6: more hey are they more difficult question. Easier one is

1249
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,920

1255
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 2: You don't know any scrubs whatsoever.

1256
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any scrubs in my house.

Speaker 3: I think it's a I think it's a jink.

1258
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: What about what about the kicks? Because Nike sent us

1259
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of kicks when we were making that show.

1260
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: That's different.

1261
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 3: Swag. Swags are different than top big membilia back.

1262
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have any. I have the slate. I

1264
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: thing we clap in front of the lens.

1265
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 3: You're directing them.

1266
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I have the I have the antlers

1267
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: from when we did the pilot, when I was a

1268
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: deer in headlights. Donald is showing you.

1269
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: His his my scrub sneakers, my hundredth episode sneakers.

1270
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: Look how warn and ruined they are.

1271
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: I've rocked these for like a year.

1272
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: I put mine on a shelf and saved them and

1273
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: they're mint and Donald's are all fucked up.

1274
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of these.

1275
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 3: And look and look, I that's the best rewraps on

1276
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 3: the planet for for for Christmas, you guys.

1277
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, one thing that's funny about this podcast on the

1278
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Zoom Call is that whenever Donald wants to reference a

1279
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: piece of clothing, he doesn't have to move from his seat.

1280
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: He just reaches out of frame and pulls it in.

1281
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 4: Him.

1282
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Well, we are in my closet.

1283
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: No, it's just funny, Like you've done that a few

1284
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: times now. It's not even like you have to stand.

1285
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: You just reach out a frame and pull out.

1286
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'm on my side. I mean I'm in, like

1287
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm in, Like I'm on my side. So like all

1288
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: of this is me, this is my wife's stuff. So

1289
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: if I really, I'm never I was. You know, what

1290
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: I was thinking about doing was turning it all around

1291
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: and doing it from a different angle. But I think

1292
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: I just confuse everyone.

1293
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: No, I love this. I will forever remember this time

1294
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: of doing this podcast and steering at you like it

1295
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: looks like you're sitting on the ground in your closet.

1296
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's not every day that we have a

1297
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 2: real live doctor on the show, right, and so this

1298
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: is this is this is a pretty special thing.

1299
01:00:59,160 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

1300
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: If you have any other questions, feel free to ask us.

1301
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Well, Donald's giving you the rare third question you can have.

1302
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: It's never been bestowed. It's because you're a real doctor.

1303
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: It's never been bestowed upon anyone.

1304
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: In all seven episodes of Fake Doctors, Real Friends.

1305
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 6: All Right, what was the most emotionally difficult episode that

1306
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 6: you guys did?

1307
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Yes, good, Johnny, what's up?

1308
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 3: I thought this one would have to be right up there,

1309
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: just getting through this one and trying to hew to

1310
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 3: the style of the piece and not fall too deep

1311
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 3: deep into an eleven of it all. It was it

1312
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 3: was impossible.

1313
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: But Johnny, we have to give a nod to one

1314
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of the best episodes ever where you were just incredibly

1315
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: good in that Brendan Frasier dying episode.

1316
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that we got to act, That was acting.

1317
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: This was this was real life, just killed four thousand people,

1318
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 3: and and it was I thought it was almost impossible

1319
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 3: to get through this episode. And when I watched it

1320
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 3: and it actually just made sense, did it made sense. Yeah,

1321
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 3: it is good. Yeah, not great, It's just good.

1322
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I was gonna say it still has some

1323
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 2: really genuinely funny parts. And the emotion that Sean has

1324
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the episode, and even the and

1325
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: the emotion that you have with Carla at the end

1326
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 2: of the episode. You talked about that earlier in the podcast,

1327
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: about how it gave you a lump in your throat

1328
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: and everything like that because you were speaking your truth

1329
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:30,439
Speaker 2: at that moment. But that stuff right right, absolutely.

1330
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 3: I think tough like potassium and ask and TikTok tourice,

1331
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 3: those things caught me off guard last night when I

1332
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 3: was watching it.

1333
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I also, I'm sorry to be I'm sorry to be

1334
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: the guy who laughs at a fart joke, but I

1335
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: legit laughed so hard when when Todd goes the wording

1336
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: of this line is so funny, sir, I farted long pause.

1337
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: That smell is from the fart that I made.

1338
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: You know he.

1339
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: Heard, But the wording of that, the wording of that,

1340
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the funniest thing in the whole episode,

1341
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: to be honest, And I'm sorry to be so so

1342
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: simple that I love a fart joke that much. But

1343
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: I just thought the wording of that that smell pause

1344
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: is from the fart that I made. Meanwhile, the surgeon,

1345
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: what's his name? He's in there, like, what's what's that

1346
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: smell from? What the hell happened? What's going on?

1347
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 3: Is that actor? That actor did a good job. Charles

1348
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 3: kind of a thankless role.

1349
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he you know, he's been in a lot of movies.

1350
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,439
Speaker 2: Actually he was in He was in Dumb and Dumb.

1351
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 3: He's the guy dry and right down the middle.

1352
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charles was great. Man. He hes stuck around for

1353
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: damn near the whole show. You know what's interesting, I

1354
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 2: didn't realize Johnny Castle was in the show that much.

1355
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 3: Me neither.

1356
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: He's in like every episode, even he's.

1357
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Doug, don't I. I really don't remember that Doug had

1358
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: this bigger role in the show. But Doug's Doug. Doug's

1359
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, thank you

1364
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: for calling in with your husband on so we could

1365
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: have the honor of having some husband or boyfriend that's

1366
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: her husband.

1367
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: Okay, good. I thought you might have been proposing for

1368
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: him and he just kinda.

1369
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 3: You get it. If you get a surgeon, man or

1370
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 3: a woman, you you marry that person.

1371
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, lock it down, lock it down.

1372
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 3: You're a guy who got a female surgeon. Is that

1373
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 3: you marry that?

1374
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1375
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Be well, take care guys, all right.

1376
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 3: I thought Sarah had a really nice beat. When Sarah

1377
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 3: is being overwhelmed for a moment where we're in the closet,

1378
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 3: she's so good at turning stuff. She just she's really upset,

1379
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 3: and then she turns it. She puts on that grave

1380
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 3: face and it's it's a little gem and I have

1381
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 3: no idea of nine to eleven imprinted on her in

1382
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 3: some way for that, but she just turns it, and

1383
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 3: it's she's so nimble. I forgot how how fast she

1384
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 3: is emotionally.

1385
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 2: One of my favorite lines in the show is when

1386
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 2: she goes, I'd let him drool on me, and then

1387
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 2: the way she looks at Zach after she says it

1388
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: you she met that shit.

1389
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: That's funny. Donald, Do you have any memory of the

1390
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: fantasy At ten forty seven? Which is that post apocalyptic like, no,

1391
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: you're standing by a fire.

1392
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: I remember after I saw it, I remembered us doing

1393
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 2: that scene, but I was like, where is this going?

1394
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know where it was.

1395
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 4: It was the basement.

1396
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 2: It was a basement. You know what's interesting. I even

1397
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 2: though this took place during nine to eleven, there are

1398
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 2: a lot of moments in the show where I was like, well,

1399
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't remember this. I don't I don't.

1400
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, There's there's certain things that I did remember.

1401
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 2: I remembered Sean Hayes and him getting choked. I definitely

1402
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: remember the last scene with UH, with Johnny and UH

1403
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 2: and Judy where he kind of slips and professes his

1404
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 2: love for her. I remembered all of that because that

1405
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: tracked with my story. But other than that, man, you know,

1406
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I say this every week watching this show is it's

1407
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: it's so much fun for me because I don't remember

1408
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 2: any of it. It's like I'm watching it with fresh eyes.

1409
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 3: If you if you weren't in a scene, or let

1410
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 3: me say this about me, if I wasn't in a scene,

1411
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't leaving my dressing room to go watch stuff.

1412
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 2: Right, But even when the show came on, Right, this

1413
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: is all brand new for me.

1414
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: But also, Johnny, you weren't smoking bong hits, so you

1415
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: probably have you probably have some of your brain left.

1416
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

1417
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: So Donald was like, I didn't even know the show

1418
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: is about doctors.

1419
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 2: I was very young. I smoked a lot of marijuana

1420
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 2: when I was a kid.

1421
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 4: Was that?

1422
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: So was that your first correct me if I'm wrong.

1423
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Was that your guys first scene together? That you telling

1424
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: him to beat off?

1425
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1426
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: It certainly seems like it in the content.

1427
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, but well writing, yeah, yeah, after that,

1428
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 2: you and I had so many scenes, you know, all

1429
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 2: of a sudden I became Gandhi. I don't even know

1430
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 2: how that came. Was that an improv from you? Did

1431
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: you make up Gandhi? Or was okay? Okay? But yeah,

1432
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 2: this is this is the beginning of the Cox and

1433
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 2: turk Uh. Yeah, your very first encounter you because we

1434
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 2: were the two athletes in the hospital, you know what

1435
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 2: I mean. And so now it was like, oh, okay,

1436
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 2: So it was like, you know, Michael Jordan versus Kobe Bryant,

1437
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

1438
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: And also he really didn't you know, the whole point

1439
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: was he didn't like you fucking with Carlo.

1440
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 2: In the beginning. Absolutely in the beginning, But as time

1441
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: goes on, the beat that Cox and Turk have is

1442
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: strictly it's all yo. You know, this is we have

1443
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 2: this competitive fire, you know what I mean, And it

1444
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: needs to be and it needs to be, you know way,

1445
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 2: we need to fan that bad boy so that you know,

1446
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 2: we can live. And so I think Cox and Turk

1447
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: really enjoyed trying to one up each other.

1448
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 3: I do too, but I thought it was a little manufactured,

1449
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 3: because again, if the camera is an X ray machine

1450
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 3: and you can see how it was a little man,

1451
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 3: it always felt a little manufactured to me.

1452
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

1453
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 3: I didn't believe that I had that big of a

1454
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 3: problem with.

1455
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 2: You, Okay. I always looked at it as he didn't

1456
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: like that I was with Carla, and because I won

1457
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,560
Speaker 2: and got that one up, he was always trying to

1458
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 2: get a one up on Turk. That's how I always

1459
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 2: looked at it.

1460
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 3: But I guess I just I mean, even.

1461
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 2: In basketball, even when we played, even when we played

1462
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 2: basketball and you hurt your back in that episode that

1463
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 2: we do that even that, you know what I mean?

1464
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 2: But hey, yeah, you know. I think also the love

1465
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: that we have for each other. I remember my first

1466
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 2: time being like, Johnny, please don't intimidate me, and you're like,

1467
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 2: shut the fuck up, nobody's intimidating you, and you're right,

1468
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 2: You're right. Yeah.

1469
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: You were always so generous, though, Johnny with us, because

1470
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, we we we we knew who you were.

1471
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: We both loved your work, and I think both I

1472
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: can think I could speak for both of us when

1473
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: we were like nervous. I was nervous to work with you,

1474
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: and I just want to thank you. You know, for

1475
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: those of you aren't actors, it's the person who's got

1476
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: more of a resume and is the bigger star. The

1477
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: onus is always on them to make everyone else feel

1478
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: comfortable around them. And I thought you always were so

1479
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: generous and never made us feel intimidated at all, unless

1480
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: it was obviously in the scene, but as a person,

1481
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: you never did.

1482
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 3: I felt like we were gonna that this truly was

1483
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 3: even even though Jackie all respect was number one on

1484
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 3: the call sheet. I felt like this thing was the

1485
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 3: truest form of an ensemble and that was never lost

1486
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 3: on me. And if that a rising tide there's the

1487
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 3: same horizon tide floats all boats, and I thought we

1488
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 3: had to do this together or sink. Either either rise

1489
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 3: or sink together. With Billy at the helm, there was

1490
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 3: no confusion about that. One time, Billy Rosine, I had

1491
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 3: to kiss his wife, who played my wife or my

1492
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 3: ex wife on the show, Christa Miller, who is a

1493
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 3: very dear friend of mine, And so I kissed her,

1494
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 3: and in the middle of kissing her, she stuck her

1495
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 3: tongue in my mouth, and I was just I was like,

1496
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 3: I'm not okay with this, And so I go upstairs

1497
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 3: with the third floor where our dressing rooms are, where

1498
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 3: Billy's office goes, and I I knocked on the door

1499
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 3: and Billy took you saying, and he goes, yeah, come

1500
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: in and sit down. I go, I gotta, I gotta

1501
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 3: get something off my chest here. I was just in

1502
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 3: the scene that you wrote. I was just having a

1503
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 3: kiss Christa, and she she stuck her tongue in my mouth.

1504
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: And he's such a ballmuster. He gives it a pause

1505
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 3: and he goes, did you like it? They did it

1506
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 3: to get me.

1507
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: By the way, Johnny, this dovetails into something I said

1508
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: this dovetails with something I said earlier. I think Billy

1509
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a little bit of a

1510
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: thing for that.

1511
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 3: It was horrorfying. Kissed by christ was horrorfying. But the

1512
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 3: boss's beautiful wife. It makes me nervous even telling the story.

1513
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: That's so funny. I think I think Billy has a

1514
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a special place in his heart for

1515
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: man he likes kissing his wife.

1516
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, guys, when you watch

1517
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 2: the show now, do you feel like we foreshadowed so

1518
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 2: much in every epith Like we foreshadowed a lot in

1519
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 2: every episode. Like, even when watching this episode, it's pretty

1520
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 2: clear that Sean Hayes's character, he doesn't have it all together,

1521
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 2: even though he seems like it, Hey, he has it together,

1522
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 2: and it's and maybe because we watched the whole episode now,

1523
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 2: but every time Nurse Roberts came in to address him,

1524
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: he always said, no problem, no problem. And I feel

1525
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 2: like I feel like that was foreshadowing. Obviously it was

1526
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 2: a problem and this was going to be the issue

1527
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 2: that broke him. I feel like, if you watch Scrubs,

1528
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,600
Speaker 2: what we did very well. We presented the problem to

1529
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 2: you early on and disguised it and disguised it or

1530
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 2: hit it with comedy and other things. But then at

1531
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 2: the end of the episode, we always hit you with

1532
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 2: the drama to make you feel it. But if you

1533
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 2: watched all the way through, we would leave crumbs and

1534
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 2: hints that this was coming.

1535
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 3: I think, yes, yes to that, and I think and

1536
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 3: it reminded me. I'm reminded of it in the first

1537
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 3: flashback where Zachi is with his brother and the tag

1538
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 3: out is we don't even talk that much, or he

1539
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 3: doesn't talk that much to me, And then there's this long,

1540
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,959
Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll make it up, twenty year disconnect,

1541
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 3: And when Tommy Kavanaugh shows up at the hospital, all

1542
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 3: that stuff that Zach had, that Billy had insinuated in

1543
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 3: that scene yields dividends because they have lost contact. They're

1544
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 3: completely disconnected, and the disconnect is profound when they're a

1545
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 3: person to person. So when Tommy comes in and Jackie

1546
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 3: and him don't connect on any level, even the John

1547
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 3: River of Jackie's father, they don't connect at all. And

1548
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: that's all in that first flashback.

1549
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not just that, even you missing Jordan. The

1550
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 2: first time we meet Jordan at the end of it.

1551
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 2: You're reminiscing about the wedding and all of that stuff.

1552
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 2: It tracks later on because you guys get back together

1553
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 2: and you do still love her, even though in between

1554
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 2: all of that you guys are warring and you date

1555
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 2: someone else.

1556
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 3: And you know what I mean, Billy, it's very good

1557
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 3: at his job, Johnny, did you like this?

1558
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Did you?

1559
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Will you come back again onto the podcast?

1560
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? It seems it seems impossible to unload the number

1561
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 3: of stories. And this was a particularly hard episode when

1562
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 3: I was watching it. It was just a hard episode

1563
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 3: to a lot of stuff from nine to eleven came

1564
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 3: back to me, which I don't know if a lot

1565
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 3: of people it's a heavy handed way of approaching something,

1566
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 3: but people, actors are human beings, and I was. I

1567
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 3: was really impacted by nine to eleven in an immediate

1568
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 3: family way. And to have gotten through this episode in

1569
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 3: retrospect seems impossible to me. And that is that It's

1570
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 3: that it's a coherent, well told tale that goes for

1571
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 3: twenty one minutes. Is good? That's good enough? Yeah, there

1572
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 3: are there are there are levels of good, better, best,

1573
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 3: excellent episodes, and this one just goes in under the

1574
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 3: category of executed. We executed. Yeah, there's some funny stuff in.

1575
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 4: It, and that's good enough.

1576
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I totally agree. This is the first one. You know,

1577
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: Donald and I joked when we start doing this, like,

1578
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be ones that we don't like,

1579
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: and we're like, that feels this is the first one

1580
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: that it's something we don't like it. It's just that

1581
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: it's like we all have this Pavlovian response to watching it, going, oh,

1582
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: this just feels wrong and weird, and we remember agree.

1583
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not discounting to all the great work that

1584
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 3: everybody did.

1585
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 2: I'd about to say, I feel like everybody did their

1586
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 2: job so well though, you know what I mean, at

1587
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 2: the end of the day, regardless of what we were

1588
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 2: going through at the time, if you didn't know that

1589
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 2: that was the nine to eleven episode, you're not gonna

1590
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 2: be able to tell, you know what I mean.

1591
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.

1592
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:39,479
