39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: saying just before we started recording that you know that

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you had been homeschooling your kids, So this isn't as

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: odd of a switch for you. Tell everybody a little

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: bit about that.

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: We've been homeschooling forever.

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: Billy is twelve, Kate's almost ten, and we've been homeschooling

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 5: for since, all the way through elementary school.

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: Here.

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 5: One thing in this is the friends, obviously, and we've

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 5: been taking this thing super seriously, and we're totally locked

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 5: down because we've got Nicole, my wife's father here, who

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: has some pre existing challenges and pre existing conditions, and

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: so we've been taking this thing by the letter. And

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 5: so look, we're lucky enough to live in this place.

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I built a baseball field during the writer's

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: strike on Scrubs, and so there's a baseball field right

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: behind me. And so we use that almost as a playground.

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: And you know, there's stuff. This is a kid compound,

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: so they can run around here. They don't get to

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 5: see their friends. They don't go to do dance and

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: aeriel and pottery and all the stuff you do when

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: you're not homeschooling or go down to the beach.

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: Friends. Do you have friends like I was just thinking

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: about Donald, who are homeschooling for the first time. Who

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: are calling you like gonny advice or anything? Because I'm

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: watching Donald do it and he's like hiding out in

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: his closet.

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: I've run my kids. This is how bad.

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: People don't call this department for that. They call upstairs

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: to the Nicole department.

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Oh, then she and I need to get on the

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: phone because I am failing miserably. My wife is My

71
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: wife is a champion. She runs the household. But I

72
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: feel like I'm starting to slack. So much that She's like,

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: when this is over, I'm leaving you.

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: I think if you could compartmentalize and play to your strengths, Donald,

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: you'd be better off.

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: I don't have many strengths.

77
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Johnny, you do. You got sports? Johnny said, he's doing PE.

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: You could be in charge of PE. Dude.

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: I have a competitive spirit in me that won't allow

80
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: my kids to beat me. I have problems. Guys have problems. Well,

81
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: then here my son screams at me because I never

82
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: let him win. He meeting me at this We have

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: this thing called Papa Shot, and it's like you know

84
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: how you go to the carnival, of course, and you

85
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: get to shoot as many jump shots as you can

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: and you burst somebody. We have that. He destroys me,

87
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: and that so much so that I don't want to

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: play the game anymore. Man.

89
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so I'm stoked for you guys doing this.

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: This this podcast I've listened to. This is either the

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: fourth or fifth one I've listened to everything, and it's

92
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 5: I listened to it while I'm working out, because it's

93
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 5: about an hour and a half or so. And I

94
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 5: put it on and I go in the garage and

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 5: it just makes me happy?

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Does it?

97
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: Does it get when the theme song comes on? Does

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: that get you pumped?

99
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 4: I liked it. Well, you guys are so goddamn town.

100
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: Johnny, Johnny, we wrote that. It's our first It's our

101
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: first time as as as lyricists. Donald, I don't know

102
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: if you've been a lyricist before, but it's my first

103
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: time as a lyrics putting.

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: I put a lyric or two to two songs in

105
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: song form. I've done it.

106
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Yes, Well, it's my first time, and I you're.

107
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: Very good at it. That's not your first time, dude.

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: You say that. Listen, guys, you don't remember the songs

109
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: that we had. Baby, keep it real, Baby, let's chill.

110
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 2: I'm tired of you all up in.

111
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: My Crewe see Donald so goddamn talent that he could

112
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: sing all these songs and remember his lines. I could

113
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: only do one thing, remember my lines.

114
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk about that for a second, Johnny,

115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: because Donald did. Donald you well, as far as I

116
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: see it, in the world of scrubs, there were two extremes.

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: There was you knowing every fucking piece of syllable and

118
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: punctuation mark and Donald being like am I in the scene.

119
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Donald's so goddamn talented that even if it

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: took him three or four takes, the fourth take was perfect.

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 4: It was heaven.

122
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: I mean in this episode, in this episode we'll talk

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 5: about in this but there's a scene where he dances

124
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: to Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson knockoff and Billy had to

125
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: be just it's like a fair catch in football. He's

126
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: just like that was manna from heaven that an actor

127
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 5: would bust that out.

128
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 4: That's not on the page. No, that was not on

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: the page.

130
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

131
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: I think that's also the beginning of turk dancing and

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: damn near I believe a gift.

133
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: Yea.

134
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Johnny, what was talk a little bit about how

135
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: you did those because sometimes, just for people who are listening,

136
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Johnny would sometimes get those speeches the night before, because the.

137
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Writers were sometimes the day before, hours before absolutely speech.

138
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just I for those of you who

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: don't memorize for a living, it's can be very hard.

140
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: But doing what Johnny had to do on the spot

141
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: is sometimes close to impossible. So I remember you having

142
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a system, will you will you talk

143
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: about that for people?

144
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: Well, I keep these composition books. Uh, you know the

145
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 5: composition books you have in high school, those black and

146
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: white things. Well, the first thing I do is I

147
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: write out the text in my own hand, and in

148
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 5: the margins I put the verbs of what I'm doing.

149
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: And so that just by virtue of writing it out

150
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: starts to get it in your skull. And then by

151
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: assigning verbs to every action that you're doing, that's the

152
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: second stage.

153
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: And then if I had time, I keep a rehearsal

154
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: space here.

155
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 5: I would go down and there's a whole kind of

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 5: little film studio downstairs, and I would get in front

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: of that. But a lot of times that was out

158
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: the window because Billy would hand it to you on

159
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: your way into the hospital.

160
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: And I'm not being method. Hospital.

161
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: We did, in fact, work in a defunct hospital. Sometimes

162
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 5: I'll say that that. Different people are like, ooh, you're

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: so method. I'm like, no, not fucking method.

164
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: It was a hospital.

165
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 5: So I set the fuck up, and so I got

166
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 5: when I got to the hospital, and they would hand

167
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: me new lines every year.

168
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: Disney would give us make it up.

169
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: You guys, remember but fifteen hundred dollars to improve our

170
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: dressing rooms. Since our dressing rooms were hospital rooms where

171
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 5: people had died and where people had been saved. And

172
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: what I did with my fifteen hundred dollars is I

173
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 5: doubled down, and I hired an acoustic firm, and they

174
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 5: came in and soundproofed my dressing room so I wouldn't

175
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: have to hear you idiots in.

176
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: The hallway and all the dogs.

177
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: For some reason, because one or two of you brought

178
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 5: your dogs, the whole crew decided, well, if Zach and

179
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: Donald can do it, the guy in sound and the

180
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 5: guy the productions is that he.

181
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: Can do it.

182
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: So all of a sudden there was a pack of

183
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: about son marteen dogs, and as Karma would have it,

184
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: And I like dogs. I hate most people's dogs. I

185
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 5: just I like dogs, but I don't like them at work.

186
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: And so I remember, I remember that. I remember all

187
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: all you would hear was get out.

188
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember space two pages, single space.

189
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember do you remember in the Christmas Story

190
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: how he's always fighting the dogs next door. That was

191
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: like Johnny C on our on our floor, because Johnny

192
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: C was like, oh, someone shut the dogs up. The

193
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: dogs all wanted to be with Johnny C.

194
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 5: In a round absolutely and so much so that I

195
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: don't know you guys are remember I don't know what season.

196
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 5: But I wrote a letter to our bosses at Disney,

197
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: to the HR Department Human Resources. And then I did

198
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 5: what you're supposed to do with an angry letter. I

199
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: according my grandfather, I put it in the drawer for

200
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: two nights. You're supposed to take angry letters. You don't press.

201
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: This was not when you press send. I wrote it,

202
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: and I put it in the drawer for two nights.

203
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: And in the intervening time, someone got nipped by a

204
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: dog on our roar, and Disney found out about it,

205
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 5: not because of me, and they were like, what, there

206
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 5: are seventeen dogs kissing and shitting on the third floor.

207
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: I took that letter and I put it right over

208
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: in the shredder because.

209
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought I thought you were I thought you were

210
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: going to give us a big reveal that you had

211
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: written the HR letter. But you're saying you never said

212
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: to it.

213
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 4: I did not.

214
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: I kept it in the drawer, and then I was

215
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: let off the hook. Because if you're the guy who

216
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: made it so that people couldn't bring their goddamn dogs

217
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: to work, then you're that guy. I was look, the

218
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: fact of the matters that you asked, how do you

219
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: memorize those things?

220
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: Good? Fear? Fear is a really good thing.

221
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: And I was just afraid to disappoint Billy, and I

222
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: wanted him to write those things for me.

223
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: And so you were so good at a way to

224
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 4: get him into my skull.

225
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: You were so good at it, John, And those rants.

226
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: I was looking on YouTube just as we were gearing

227
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: up for this episode, and just like people have like

228
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: top five Doctor Cox rants, like it's like a thing.

229
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: People love to just listen back to those, and just

230
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: some of them are just so epic and hilarious.

231
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 5: Where they get hard is when Billy started, and I

232
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 5: don't know whether it was season four or five six,

233
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: it's a good problem. When he just started writing lists

234
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: that had nothing to do with the item that came

235
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: before it, and he just write two pages of lists

236
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: reasons why I don't care about you becoming a doctor

237
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: or something like that, and they're just this random list.

238
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: Those were hard memorizing his story, but.

239
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: These lists to two pages, single space a list.

240
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: On the other side, we were talking about how Donald

241
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: would show up and be like, oh shit, I got

242
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: a monologue today.

243
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: A time in my life. That was a time in

244
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: my life. I don't know. I just I don't know

245
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: what was the matter with me. I smoked. I smoked

246
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: a lot of marijuana back then too, not that I

247
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: don't now, but I smoked a tremendous amount back then.

248
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't think this was the beginning of the run

249
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: that I did this. I think as I got comfortable,

250
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: things changed, and as the show got successful, things changed

251
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: and I slacked, And I remember somebody asking me like, dude,

252
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: what do you do when you go home? And I

253
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: was like, I live my life. They were like, they

254
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: were like, but what about your job. I was like,

255
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: it's getting done, like I was.

256
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: So I think you just got comfortable that you knew

257
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: that you'd get it, and you knew that it would

258
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: be cut together and be funny. So you're just like,

259
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: fugget well.

260
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if I was, Yeah, you know, I

261
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: don't know what it was. Since then, I have, you know,

262
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: I've tried to make sure that if I ever ran

263
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: into anyone else, if I ran into people on other

264
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: jobs that worked with me on scrubs and remembered how

265
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: I was on scrubs, I wanted them to have a

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: completely different opinion of me after we finished working. And

267
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: 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 --> 00:12:35,200
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 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: wall or something like that. You know what I mean.

273
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 5: I want you to get it done in three or

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: four takes. I want us to get out of here

275
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: get it.

276
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: If I'm not done it, if I can't do it

277
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: in three takes, then forget about it.

278
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: Man.

279
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: Like then I've wasted I feel like I've wasted everybody's time.

280
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: Well I feel that more, and especially now when it's

281
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: not your own show. When I'm going to do a

282
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: supporting part on something and I fuck up line, I

283
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: just I get so mad at myself.

284
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: You know.

285
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know, after doing the show for nine years,

286
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: we were so comfortable and that that comfortableness led to

287
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a lot of amazing stuff because there was no wrong answer,

288
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: and we were so silly with each other and we

289
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: could riff. But now I find when I go do

290
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: roles where I'm not the lead or I'm supporting, or

291
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm or I'm in any whatever I'm doing. I'm really

292
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: get mad at myself if I fuck up a line

293
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: like I really, I really put more effort into it

294
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: than I ever have.

295
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: I was about to say, because Zach, I remember a

296
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: night where you put the sides people out there who

297
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: don't know what sides are there, the piece of paper

298
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: where the line where they write, the where they miniaturize

299
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: the script into.

300
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: The tiny Each day we get a tiny version of

301
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: the script. It's probably I don't know what is it,

302
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: like eight inches by four.

303
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Inches something like that. I remember one night where you

304
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: take those sides to my forehead on off camera.

305
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would like everyone to google Marlon Brando

306
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: in The Godfather and you'll see and you can just

307
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: put in like Marlin ran Godfather line memorization and you'll

308
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: see a picture with James Khan with a huge poster

309
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: board taped to his chest. Now, I'm not saying is

00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: saying you're James Kahn and I uh, yeah, listen, there's

313
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: times where you go, I'm fucked. I do not know this, Donald,

314
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: would you mind taping this to your forehead?

315
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: No, you didn't say, Donald, would you mind? You were like,

316
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: come here, No, No, used to I remember taking off

317
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: and be like you mother, I will know.

318
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: What we used to do is like, whenever there was

319
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: a place to hide them out of camera, we'd tape

320
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: them to the desk, We'd tape them to whatever. Sometimes

321
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: you tape them to the front of the camera. But

322
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I remember that one time I couldn't get it down

323
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: and was like the time was running out, and I

324
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: was like, Donald, I'm so sorry, but I need my

325
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: character needs to be looking at your face. Johnny, you

326
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: never did that. Donald, Donald and I would hide our

327
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: sides all over the place. I don't have any memory

328
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: you ever do it.

329
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: Johnny used to have like little notes here and there

330
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: in your hand.

331
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: No, but not he wouldn't hide them and reference them

332
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: during the scene like you.

333
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: No.

334
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: No, No.

335
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 5: I just if I was struggling with Latin, which all

336
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 5: medical terms are Latin based, if I was struggling with

337
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: something in Latin that I hadn't been on the phone

338
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: with real JD for an hour the night before I would.

339
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: I would fanatically put it on those clipboards that we carried,

340
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 5: and the last second I'd take a look. Now, I remember,

341
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: the hardest one ever was broken heart syndrome. Was took

342
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 5: a subo cardio myopathy. And that's about this long, and

343
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: I still freaking remember it took a subo cardio myopathy.

344
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: Now, legend has it that some of the best home

345
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: tests for movies or television shows have happened at your house.

346
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: Is it true that you once dug a hole in

347
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: your backyard for a part?

348
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: No, that's not true. No, what are you talking about.

349
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Why would he dig a hole in his backyard?

350
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: I thought he was self taped and was digging a hole.

351
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh oh, he's saying that you, you like, got all

352
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: into yourself tapes and would dig holes. What would that

353
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: be for platoon? Like he's gonna audition something.

354
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: No. No, I met with Oliver five times. No, No,

355
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: but you did.

356
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: But you did used to self tape at home a lot.

357
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: Though at some point right well.

358
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: When that came into vogue.

359
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 5: Sure, now you can do it on this thing, but

360
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: for a little while, you know, there's a camera on

361
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: a tripod down there was down in the rehearsal space

362
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 5: and yeah, for a little while.

363
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: That that's what auditions came to be.

364
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dony, that's a good segue into into your auditioning

365
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: for this. You Donald and I and we asked Sara

366
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about our experiences. QUI hilarious, right.

367
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: I listened to all of it yesterday. It was genius.

368
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: So tell us about yours, because you know, and you

369
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: heard Bill's telling of yours. But I think I think

370
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: our 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 --> 00:16:57,320
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 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: things before this.

375
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: I know you were coming to it from a very

376
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: different space because you'd been in such amazing movies, and

377
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800
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 5: I was coming from because I heard Zachie, I heard

381
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: yours with that you were a waiter at the La

382
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 5: Colonial Coloni. Yeah, you were a waiter over there, And

383
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 5: I know Donald had done Denzel's movie and done something.

384
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: But I was on a track and how to take

385
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: something off of this? So it doesn't sound arrogant, but

386
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 5: I was on about I was on a track of

387
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: doing about four films a year, and in my brain

388
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 5: it was that if you ever.

389
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 4: I said yes to everything.

390
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 5: So I did plenty of stinkers, but I just always

391
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 5: felt like that more film begat more film. So I

392
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 5: was just always around the world doing whatever you offered me.

393
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: And I wasn't going to come off the film train.

394
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 5: And so then they sent me scrubs and there was

395
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: as Billy told you, there was a John McGinley part

396
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 5: in parentheses. It said a John McGinley type for doctor Cox.

397
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 5: And I'm like, well, just make the offer.

398
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 4: And as you mean lack. Yeah.

399
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 5: So I went into meet with Billy over at Disney

400
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: and that was great. He was, you know, he was

401
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: one of the great guys in the planet.

402
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: And then.

403
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: By the time, actors do this weird thing when they

404
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: get a little too comfortable as they subvert themselves, and

405
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 5: I felt like I did that because there were tears

406
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 5: of different hierarchy that you had to go through on

407
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: this thing.

408
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 4: There was the casting people, which I got to skip.

409
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: There was Billy.

410
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 5: Then you had to audition to Disney, then you had

411
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: to audition at NBC.

412
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: And so I tanked the one at Disney. And I

413
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 4: don't know why. I was either lazy or presumptuous or

414
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: but a sock.

415
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: Donny, did you feel that in the room?

416
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: I always know, Yeah, And so I told I said, Billy,

417
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: just let me go to the next level.

418
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: I'll blow the back of the room out, just don't.

419
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 5: I just filed a few off at at Disney. And

420
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 5: when I went to NBC, as you guys have have

421
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 5: have sorted it out with Billy and Sarah, there's a

422
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: room not much bigger than the one I'm sitting in,

423
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 5: maybe sixteen by twenty, and it's the casting guys room.

424
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: And there's people on the fennel, on the fence. There's

425
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: people everywhere.

426
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Hiding on the city, sitting on the ground over it.

427
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 5: It's like a bad Thanksgiving talent show production with your

428
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 5: aunts and uncles. And so I didn't recognize there were

429
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 5: four or five other doctor Coxes there.

430
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: I didn't recognize any of them.

431
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 5: And I was just like, it didn't really matter because

432
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 5: I already did.

433
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: Just for actors.

434
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 5: You can get good at auditioning, and I got really

435
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 5: good at it because I used the rehearsal space as

436
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: a spot to get this four minute compressed little impression

437
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 5: you make a discipline down.

438
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 4: I got really good at it. The fact that I

439
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: tanked that Disney didn't matter. I was doing some other bullshit.

440
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: But when I went into that room, I was just

441
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 5: going to fucking kill it.

442
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: And I did.

443
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 5: And when I shut the door, and at the time,

444
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 5: I had this Jersey muscle car. I had a Mustang

445
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: five point zero black convertible and I started.

446
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 4: Driving home in the one oh one and I was like,

447
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: I put Bruce on and it was blaring, and I'm like,

448
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: I definitely got that. And if I didn't, the show sucks.

449
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Bill told do you hear Bill's story where he said, Johnny,

450
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: how do you feel it? You said, like cash, money

451
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: or something like that.

452
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: I said it was money. I said money. He said,

453
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 4: if you want to do it again?

454
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I hate when directors say do you

455
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 5: want to do it again?

456
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: Because if you got it, you got it. Because all

457
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: I do when I do things again.

458
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: When you asked me, I'm gonna start changing things, and

459
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: I hate rewriting it. If everything's I like to rewrite shit.

460
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: I don't like to rewrite anything. I like it on

461
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 5: the page I like to crush it and I like

462
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 5: to leave. And then if you ask me to keep

463
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: doing it again and again, I'm gonna get bored because

464
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: I know you haven't in the can, and I'm gonna

465
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: start changing things. And what I did with doctor Cox

466
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: over the years is so I changed his syncopation. I

467
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: turned into this kind of Martin Scorsese on LSD thing where.

468
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 4: I did these long pauses. And because I was getting.

469
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: Bored and again, like sometimes you'd walk in out and

470
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: do some like we like crazy pause.

471
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 4: I was, and I would stretch these words.

472
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: And I run want people love that when you go right.

473
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: I was bored. I want to fucking some more. I

474
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: wanted more challenges.

475
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: And so that's the actor's brains if it's really firing,

476
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: like our brains were on that thing. Remember, people don't

477
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: understand we were there sixteen hours a day, five days

478
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: a week. We spent much more time with each other

479
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 5: than we did any semblance of family, because there's a

480
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 5: finite amount of hours in a week. And for nine years,

481
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: pretty much we were together for fourteen to by the

482
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 5: end of the week, sixteen hours and in.

483
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: An hospital, in an abandoned hospital.

484
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: In an abandoned hospital.

485
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 5: And it's almost like Donald will understand when you're practicing

486
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 5: free throws, if you do nothing but practice free throws,

487
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 5: you will get good at it.

488
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: You just will.

489
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 5: And by virtue beat just scrub saturation, people got really

490
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: good at their jobs.

491
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

492
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the other thing. I remember times where

493
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: we'd you'd have like long, long monologues. There were times

494
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 2: where you didn't get it in one take, but then

495
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: there were times where you would get it in one take.

496
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: And I remember directors being like, should we go again,

497
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: and you being like, we got it, let's go, and

498
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 2: like we only got one take, John, and I'm moving on,

499
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: let's go.

500
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: There's so many Donald Let's go through some of our

501
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: favorite johnnyisms. One that just came to my mind was

502
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: moving on, you're five good ones for you. There's five

503
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: good ones for you. Was when you it would shake

504
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: your hand.

505
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: How are you better now?

506
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: Yeah? Better now?

507
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: And then he'd go when we were done with John

508
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: Michelle was the name of one of our editors, and

509
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: when when when we were done with the scene, he'd go,

510
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: I think we gave Jean Michelle some memmo.

511
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, cut to cut through a couple of days later,

512
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: I'm down in the editing suite just micromanaging everything John

513
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 5: Michelle was doing all.

514
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: I know. 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
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: your escape from hanging out on the third.

517
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: Floor from the dogs.

518
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: From the dogs, you just run down to editing and

519
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: be like, show me what you got.

520
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: But I also had a post production company in New

521
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 5: York for when I when I lived in New York

522
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 5: up in the Brill Building for fifteen years, and so

523
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 5: post is a very comfortable place for me.

524
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and uh and I just remember you being

525
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: even Donald and I were always trying to sneak in

526
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: there as well, and you'd be like, I remember, I

527
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: have great memories of you being like, come in here,

528
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: you gotta see that. You guys to.

529
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: Well. People have to understand it was a very insular place.

530
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: There was no place to go. It was Scrubs University

531
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 5: in this five story abandoned hospital, and.

532
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: You had to be there. You couldn't really go off campus.

533
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 5: You'd get in trouble because invariably we'd skip a scene

534
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: and would say where's John and he went down to

535
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: do something?

536
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: To say he can't go down to do anything.

537
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: It's interesting to be on here. When you're on a

538
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: back lot, you can saunter around and you can talk

539
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: to other shows, and you can talk to people that

540
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with your show. But there was

541
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: something I think great that happened on our show in

542
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: that we were so insular, Like Johnny said in that hospital,

543
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: that it made us extra close because we never went anywhere.

544
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't like we just all were always together. And

545
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: I think.

546
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 5: Something Billy didn't share, which I've brought to different films

547
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 5: and TV shows I've produced since, is Billy introduced the

548
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: first or second day of shooting in the cafeteria, which

549
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 5: is the largest space that one hundred and twenty person

550
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 5: crew could all congregate.

551
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: He got everybody together.

552
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 5: And he told them that he was going to put

553
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 5: a no asshole policy in place, and everybody laughed, and

554
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: you know, sounded kind of stupid, and Billy's the least

555
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 5: confrontational person on the planet.

556
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 4: And what he meant was that if you come to work,

557
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 4: you've got to bring at.

558
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 5: Least a modicum of respect with you, otherwise don't come.

559
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 5: And everybody knows just all the way back to the schoolyard,

560
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: how to be nice to each other and how to

561
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 5: be respectful, and a couple of people subsequently got fired

562
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 5: for the no asshole policy. It didn't mean you had

563
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 5: to come to work and walk on pins and needles,

564
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: but you had to come to work and be respectful.

565
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: And I thought that was great, and I do it.

566
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: On my sets now too, and if people don't like it,

567
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: they can get the fuck out.

568
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real talk, you know. Since Scrubs, I've been

569
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: a part of cast where you know, everybody's been chill

570
00:26:05,680 --> 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 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: oh my god, I wish I was still on Scrubs

573
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: right now so I could freaking sit in the background

574
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: and watch you get fired for being such a fucking

575
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: asshole right now, you know what I mean.

576
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,040
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 --> 00:26:26,480
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
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: that you know there's there's a finite number of shows

581
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: that go this long. And we genuinely all really liked

582
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: each other. I mean I always say that when I'm

583
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: do pressed or someone asked me about the show, and

584
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, what was the secret to the magic, and

585
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: one of them is that we genuinely all liked each other.

586
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: We genuinely all rooted for each other. When we would

587
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: see each other at the bar after we wrapped, we

588
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: were like just as excited to see you know, Johnny

589
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: 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
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: company for nine years.

592
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's you know, that's that's that's actually

593
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,760
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, we would still

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

596
00:27:17,800 --> 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
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: in some of the night together, man like I would.

599
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: I would go back to my hospital room and go

600
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 5: to sleep for the night because I couldn't drive out

601
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 5: to Malibu. And so after after having a couple of beers,

602
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 5: I went back to the hospital, went to sleep.

603
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: Wow, and they just woke up the next time.

604
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: Johnny tell them about how sometimes you'd come in to

605
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: be traffic at like four in the morning.

606
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: I would I had this thing where I can't be late.

607
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 5: It's I just can't. I just I can't organize being late.

608
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: And so my window was I could leave in a

609
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 5: normal time if I had a call time at six

610
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: or at ten, But if my call time was anywhere

611
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 5: between six and ten, I would take a six o'clock

612
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 5: call time and just drive in at five, go to

613
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 5: sleep for a couple hours, memorize all the shit that

614
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: Billy was writing, and then.

615
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 4: Be fresh and ready to go. And Plus there was

616
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: a shower.

617
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 5: There was a communal shower at the end of our hallway,

618
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: and I used that thing all the time.

619
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: I've never I think I never showered there. Donald, I

620
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: think maybe once or twice.

621
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: Oh god, I was in there every day.

622
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: Was it was it a good shower?

623
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 4: Was it a it was hot water? End care.

624
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: That's all right, We're going to go to a break

625
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: and we'll be right book and we're back, and we're back.

626
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: We are back, Donald Dum whenever he would seehim again, Lee,

627
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: whenever Donald does these ins and outs of a commercial,

628
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: he turns into Oprah, We're back.

629
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: I heard him do that with Sarah. I was listening

630
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 4: to it on the deck and I was dying.

631
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: I could have given you, I could have totally given

632
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: you an Oprah introduction, John seem a.

633
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 5: Good night.

634
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: I was.

635
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: I was thinking about the one oh seven, which is

636
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 5: interesting that we would be doing one oh seven, which

637
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: when I looked in my composition book, it was actually

638
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 5: one o six, and it got it got shifted because

639
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 5: of nine to eleven. Yes, and but before we get

640
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 5: into the nine to eleven of it all, which has

641
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 5: a profound impact on this episode.

642
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: When I was looking through.

643
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 5: My composition book down in the rehearsal space last night,

644
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: when I was looking forward to talking to you guys.

645
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: I noticed that I always in the first if you're lucky.

646
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 5: Enough to have to write a lot of different composition

647
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: books like we were on Scrubs, I always put a

648
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 5: mission statement on the first page of what I John

649
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: not I doctor Cox want to do with this thing.

650
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 5: And I saw that the mission statement on Scrubs was

651
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 5: to find a place underneath the text for with every

652
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 5: episode where you can say I love you to Max.

653
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 5: And I took that seriously because my son Max had

654
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 5: been born a year or two earlier, and when we

655
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 5: started in two thousand and one, and Max was born

656
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: with challenges, Max with Roman down syndrome.

657
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: He's doing great now.

658
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: But I decided that Cox underneath it all, so that

659
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: would never became too too drippy, just underneath it. Every

660
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: episode there had to be one spot where I got

661
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 5: to say I John, not doctor Cox, got to say

662
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 5: I love you to Max.

663
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: And in this episode it's it's right where.

664
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: When I'm talking to Judy and I say, just because

665
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 5: a guy has problems, that doesn't mean he doesn't need

666
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 5: and then there's this long pause and it's because I

667
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 5: kept getting an apple in my throat, and then he

668
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 5: says you and I I reminded me that I took

669
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 5: the thing, so god damn seriously, this mission state that

670
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 5: I wrote to Max, Yes, and it informs everything that

671
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: Cox does, because I think Zachy knows this. I always

672
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 5: consider the camera an X ray machine that it can

673
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 5: see through all the actors bullshit, and we all try

674
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 5: to bring a walk and a lisp or some eccentricity,

675
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 5: and unless that's distilled down to a real pure instinct,

676
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 5: the camera's just like bullshit.

677
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 4: That's bullshit, and you can see it.

678
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 5: It's night and day, and so that when an actor

679
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: actually brings a mission statement that demands that he finds

680
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 5: a place somewhere in the text underneath it, not just

681
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: underneath the text, to say I love you to a

682
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 5: kid who is just born with challenges that pops that

683
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 5: the camera goes, Oh, that's his truth.

684
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: He's telling the truth, and that's what pops.

685
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: I love that you said that, Johnny, because I think

686
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: one of the magical things that you did with doctor

687
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Cox was find a guy who's so tough and find

688
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: a way in every episode to show that his heart,

689
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: that he was doing everything he can to protect everyone

690
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: from protect his heart and from people seeing the amount

691
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: of love. He actually had super super tough cement exterior

692
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: because he was alpha and he was a badass doctor

693
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and he didn't want people to know. But then you

694
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: would just it was like it was leaking out of him.

695
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: You could you couldn't help it, and you would see

696
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: these little moments where it's like, this guy has the

697
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 1: biggest heart, he's just keeping it all under wraps.

698
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: That's perfect for this episode that we're talking about right now,

699
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: one oh seven. Carla is the only person in the

700
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: hospital who's known you long enough at this point to

701
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: be able to see through that bullshit. Okay, you're being

702
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: tough on all of these people, but you care. You're

703
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: you're in it just like you know what I mean.

704
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: You're not scared, but you care. And I think that's

705
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: what started you, what started Cox. Correct me if I'm

706
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: wrong to have feelings for her, like, Okay, well, if

707
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: everybody's afraid of me and there's this one person in

708
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: the hospital who's willing to stand up to me, not

709
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: even stand up, but to call me on my bullshit,

710
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: there's a there's a special place in my heart for that.

711
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: And I honestly thought that Carla was gonna choose you know,

712
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: when we were making the show, I thought she was

713
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: gonna choose Cox over Turk. I was kind of hoping

714
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: at that when I was younger, that she would choose

715
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: Cox over Turk so that I'd have more love interests her.

716
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't wait to talk about that

717
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: with Judy when she comes on the show. You know, the.

718
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 5: Writers, the writers, as Donald was suggesting, out of that

719
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 5: writer's room came different, nuanced flirtations between Cox and Carla.

720
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I never noticed that this one is obviously really prevalent,

721
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: and I hadn't. I hadn't seen this in twenty years,

722
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: but I was like, there's a vibe between those two.

723
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: Oh, it lashed for the next like five six episodes

724
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: and the absolutely yeah it's and then and then Cox

725
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: and Turk have it out and then Cox.

726
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember thinking Donald, do you remember thinking like,

727
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: because we didn't know what the fuck the writers were

728
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna do, do you remember thinking like, oh, shit, is Judy

729
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: is Are they gonna write her to go off with him?

730
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I remember thinking that because they had history. That's

731
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: the one thing that the two of them out of

732
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: everyone in the show, and also Ken's character Kelso the

733
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: three of them all have history. But Cox and Carla

734
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: have history. Like I imagine Carla Cox was a very

735
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: young doctor when Carla came in, you know what I mean, Like,

736
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, she had been there, Carla,

737
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: Carla had been there for a while, and so they

738
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: knew each other.

739
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: That may they may have hooked up.

740
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. I thought there was that one time.

741
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: When I was watching today, I was like, these two fucks,

742
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: it looks like the two characters have history. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,

743
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: and that that that we're gonna take it to our

744
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: grave and never speak about this history.

745
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 4: Right, And I like Donald and like you Zachi.

746
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 5: I unabashedly loved Judy h and so that was an

747
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: easy thing to groove into.

748
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: You guys had great chemistry. And I was really noticing

749
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: that again we're watching all these with fresh eyes after

750
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: so many years, and I was watching this one, I

751
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: was really I don't know, I just was reminded how

752
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: good those scenes are when it was you two. You

753
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: guys had amazing chemistry together.

754
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I don't think there's any acting going on.

755
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 5: Like I say, the camera is an X ray machine

756
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 5: and it can see through bullshit, and it could see that.

757
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 4: I love Judy rays on a bachelorfor and I always

758
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 4: have that.

759
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into the elephant in the room, because

760
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: I was actually really nervous to watch this episode. It's

761
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: the first one that I was like, I had a

762
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: pit in my stomach because, as Johnny touched on, this

763
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: was the episode we were shooting when nine to eleven occurred.

764
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: Nine to eleven happened on a Tuesday. Well, we had

765
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: shot a Monday and then nine to eleven occurred, And

766
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: what we should all tell our stories of that day.

767
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: I think I remember I woke up to Howard Stern,

768
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: you know when you're half awake and you're listening, and

769
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Howard Stern was talking about it, and it got to

770
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: a point where I went, wait what And I leapt

771
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: up out of bed and I went and turned on

772
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: the TV. And I remember thinking, as we all did,

773
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: holy shit, this is what the fuck's happening in the world.

774
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: But also as a young actor who just got on

775
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: a job, I was like, what are we supposed to

776
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: do here? We do we go to work today? Like how?

777
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: And I remember I still was like, I think I'm

778
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: supposed to still go to work. So I went in

779
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: and I remember Sean Hayes, who was our guest star,

780
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: was there, and he and I sat in my dressing

781
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: room and watched it happen, and shortly that thereafter the

782
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: day was canceled. Do you guys want to tell what

783
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: your memory of that.

784
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: I remember getting a phone call and it was like

785
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: five o'clock in the morning. I remember picking up the

786
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: phone and recognizing the number and cursing the person out

787
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: on the other what the fuck is your problem? I'm working,

788
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: I got work in a couple of hours. How why

789
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: are you calling me this early, you know what I mean?

790
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: And she said, and she over the phone goes, I'm sorry, shit, sorry,

791
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you that a plane crashed

792
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: into the World Trade Center. And I was like, oh shit,

793
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, whoa what? What? Wait? What? What? And I

794
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: ran to the television and I turned it on, and

795
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: like everybody else in America, I was stuck watching television

796
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: for and then Randall finally called him, was like, we're

797
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: not coming into work, you know, but today the day

798
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: is canceled. You don't have to come in. But I

799
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: remember just sitting in front of the television very much

800
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: like I am right now, you know what I mean.

801
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: I feel like I wake up every morning and my

802
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: and the minute I wake up, I turn on the

803
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: news to check to see how many people have COVID nineteen,

804
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: how many people we lost because of COVID nineteen, and

805
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: what the plan is to figure out how we're going

806
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: to get rid of COVID nineteen, you know what I mean?

807
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: And I, you know, very for the next week. I

808
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: remember that was all that I did was I just

809
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: watched the news to see what the heck is America

810
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: going to do next?

811
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: How about you Johnny, were you called in that day?

812
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went back and looked it up last night.

813
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 5: So the North Tower got hit at five forty five am,

814
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 5: and I would have left about ten minutes after that

815
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 5: to get there, and so I saw the first well

816
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 5: they didn't really show the first but it looked like

817
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: a plane went into the first building.

818
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: And then I had to go.

819
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: And so the South Tower got hit about twenty two

820
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 5: minutes later at six oh three our time, nine oh

821
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 5: three New York time, and so I would have been

822
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 5: listening to it on the news. But all of this

823
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 5: to me, there's something called a mental model, and it's

824
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 5: how you perceive things. In my mental model, it was

825
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 5: it was like the plane that hit the Empire State

826
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 5: Building before we were born. It was a prop plane

827
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 5: that went into the Empire State Building and nothing really happened,

828
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 5: not nothing.

829
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure some people died and it was horrible, but.

830
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: It sounded like that, and so that's how I was

831
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 5: driving into Burbank.

832
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 4: And when I got there that clearly wasn't the case.

833
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 5: And then my brother worked on the sixty second floor

834
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 5: of the South Tower, and so I kept trying to

835
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 5: call them so and pretty early on it became clear

836
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 5: that nobody was going to get through on any lines,

837
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 5: on cell lines or landlines because those everything disconnected on

838
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 5: those towers, and so.

839
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 4: I couldn't get through to my brother.

840
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 5: And this is when an actor's imagination is a curse,

841
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 5: not a blessing.

842
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 4: You only imagine horrible things.

843
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: And it turns out in those eighteen twenty minutes, those

844
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 5: intervening times between the North Tower getting hit and the

845
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 5: South tower getting hit on March Trading Desk, they all

846
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 5: had been there when they shake from Newark, New Jersey,

847
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 5: had set off that bomb in the van in the

848
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 5: basement ten years earlier. So everyone in a March's Trading

849
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 5: desk got up when the the first building got hit

850
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 5: and they started to make their way down the stairs.

851
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 5: But it was such a cluster flock going down the

852
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 5: stairs in those eighteen minutes from the sixty second floor down,

853
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 5: they only made it about twenty stories. Everybody from like

854
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 5: seventy two up died, and so Mark got a concussion

855
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 5: going down the stairs.

856
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 4: I don't know how.

857
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 5: He got really disoriented, and by the time he got

858
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 5: out of the building, he wandered up the FDR Drive

859
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 5: to East Harlem, and so he was missing for about

860
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 5: twelve hours, and so it was.

861
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: Made all the way to Harlem.

862
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Yes, holy cow, was he just in shock, Johnny, and he.

863
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 4: Walked that far? Yes, wow.

864
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 5: And so I sat in the hospital for all that time,

865
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 5: and then I tried his wife, who lived out in Short.

866
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 4: Hills, New Jersey at the time.

867
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 5: She only had an outgoing message on her machine saying, Mark,

868
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 5: I know you're okay. I've gone over to the Smith's

869
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 5: house and we're waiting for your call there. Well, no

870
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 5: calls came for about twelve hours, and so I sat

871
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 5: in the dressing room thinking horrible things. And then obviously

872
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 5: the buildings came down shortly after that, and what almost

873
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 5: four thousand Americans died, and so that was a that's

874
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 5: the backdrop for us shooting this episode. Yeah, it's kind

875
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 5: of miraculous that the episode even makes any sense that

876
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 5: because of what some of some people were carrying into

877
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 5: the frame.

878
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 4: I agree.

879
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a weird episode, and I don't know

880
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: if I'm bringing my own anxiety of of of the

881
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: time to it as I watch it now, But I'm

882
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: also going we were all not present for these however

883
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: many days, one hundred percent right, absolutely and I felt like,

884
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: especially when you look at the first episode Chunk that

885
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: we've just watched, which you're like, holy shit, look at

886
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: this show. Look at their fire on our all cylinders.

887
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: This is the first one where I go, oh, we

888
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: all understandably, obviously we all look a little based out

889
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: to me.

890
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 5: That's when I watched it last night. I I mean,

891
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 5: there's obviously a lot of funny stuff in it that

892
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 5: I wrote down that made me laugh, but it and again,

893
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 5: like you, Zachi, I can't tell if it's me imposing

894
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 5: my John McGinley onto what Billy Lawrence created for those

895
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 5: twenty one minutes. But you just said disconnected it. It

896
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 5: seemed a little disconnected to me.

897
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: This one does. Yes, absolutely, but how could it not be? Right?

898
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, yeah.

899
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 5: If mcginley's brother, If mcginley's brother just got out of

900
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 5: the what was the South Tower and was missing for

901
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: a day, what are you, superman? Of course you're going

902
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 5: to carry that in front of the lens.

903
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: Now, do you guys remember we took that Tuesday off?

904
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: Did we work the next day or take that day

905
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: off as well?

906
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: I think we took Wednesday off and we worked Thursday.

907
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I do remember this. I remember the very

908
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: first thing we came back, believe it or not, was

909
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: that fucking dog show fantasy. So I remember feeling horribly

910
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: guilty that we should a should we even be working.

911
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: But I'm under a contract and I'm an actor and

912
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ruffle anybody's feathers. But it should

913
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: be we be working. But then' like, yes, everyone's back

914
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: to work. Here we go, and I was like, Okay,

915
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: what are we shooting. I can do this. We're gonna

916
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: do a fantasy where you're a dog at a dog

917
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: show and Johnny c is going to feel your balls.

918
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, the first thing up, Johnny, do

919
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: you remember that? It was the first thing up? It

920
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: must have been Thursday morning, was me.

921
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 4: I remember now you watch it. I remember it. God,

922
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 4: I remember that I wrote down.

923
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 5: I wrote down that during the dog show flashback, I

924
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 5: had decided to make you both really uncomfortable. And I

925
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 5: think it was because I was really uncomfortable. So I

926
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 5: love actors, and I would never do anything to ever

927
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 5: ever hurt an actor.

928
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 4: Especially when it comes to physical contact.

929
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: And I think I was just I was not appropriately

930
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 5: gentle with you guys.

931
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 4: I like took your ear, Zachie.

932
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 5: And you can see, and I took your fucking mouth

933
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: and I opened it up, and I told I took

934
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 5: Sean's ear, and I was I was uncharacteristically for me

935
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: as an actor, not cos but I love actors so much.

936
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 4: I would never ever do anything to hurt them, and

937
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 4: I would think I was. I was not appropriate with

938
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: you two guys on that. I was very rough.

939
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: I remember being man handled. Thank you for pantomiming the

940
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: testicle part, though, because I think that would have been

941
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: a little too rough on on me.

942
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure at some point I put my

943
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 4: fist up your reck them.

944
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so, at least not in this episode.

945
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 1: That may have been in later. I think you did

946
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: wear me like a hand puppet, but it was in

947
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: episode four.

948
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 4: I think during the dog show thingy I may have

949
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 4: engaged you.

950
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: Well.

951
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: We were joking with Bill about how the crazy sound

952
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: effects would would would were slowly phased out. I don't know,

953
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: maybe because you were all off in this episode. But

954
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: this episode has so many ridiculous side effects, so many,

955
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: and there's that there's like a Santa Sleigh jingle bell

956
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: noise when you grab my balls that's like the choice

957
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: that was made somewhere in the in sound effects editing.

958
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: They were like, Okay, what's the noise for Johnny grabbing

959
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: JD's balls? Guys, how about a Santa Slave.

960
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: Jingle bell o?

961
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 4: You know what? I you know what I thought was

962
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 4: really funny.

963
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 5: Zactly when you and Kenny are up on the roof

964
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: and he goes to he does kind of a fake

965
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 5: attacking you up on the roof. Yeah, And whether or

966
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 5: not you're just a great actor or if it was

967
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 5: really weird, it looked really weird.

968
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: It's a weird scene, by the way, can I just

969
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand?

970
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: He calls goes you know what your problem is? Yeah,

971
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: is that you're a pansy. It's just straight up.

972
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: It's a weird scene. And I was waiting for something

973
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: to happen. I remember there was a fantasy where I

974
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: where I fell off a roof and there was a

975
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: stunt man who did a big jump, and I thought, oh,

976
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: is that this But it doesn't really go anywhere, and

977
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: Ken's just up there smoking a pipe. He calls me

978
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: a pansy and then almost throws me off the roof,

979
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: like legit, and then like that's the scene.

980
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 5: That's it, And and a couple scenes before that at

981
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 5: Mine forty four when when he goes keep shooting you the.

982
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: He he gumps.

983
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 5: Over and gives you a hug, and then Kenny wraps

984
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 5: his leg around.

985
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a fantasy, Johnny, I will I. I

986
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't know what the fuck was happening there either, And

987
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: then there's a white flash out of it. I think

988
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: that's JD's fantasy because.

989
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 4: Why why would.

990
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: He mounted me? Well, I just want to say, I

991
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: think that's I wrote down that. I think that's the

992
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: only time in nine years that Ken Jenkins ever mounted me.

993
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 2: Can we talk? Can we talk about jerking off real quick?

994
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? A big as a part of the show or

995
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: 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 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: about both. How about that?

998
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: Okay? Good?

999
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: Okay. So here's here's here's the one thing I get that.

1000
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: First of all, we have two callbacks to mash We

1001
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 2: have you as a kid playing with your brother, and

1002
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: this scene, the whole joke off scene is actually a

1003
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: scene from Mesh the movie, if I'm correct, where they

1004
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: trick somebody to go into the bathroom and drink off

1005
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: when did jerking off become a bad thing that you

1006
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: got to be embarrassed about?

1007
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: Well, but you're not. You're not supposed to jerk off

1008
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: at work. Donald write that down as a surgeon.

1009
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: Got it? So wait, hold up, Okay, So it's so

1010
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 2: we're clear. It's okay to masturbate, but once you do

1011
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: it at work, you've crossed the line.

1012
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: Yes, I think this could be a service announcement. This

1013
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: could be a public service announcement for people all over

1014
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: the world. Don't masturbate a work.

1015
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: It's crossing the line.

1016
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: The more you know, and Dan, you can put in

1017
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: a little more, you know, sound effects there.

1018
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 4: I saw something.

1019
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 5: I saw something when Donald and I get to do

1020
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 5: the scene that comes before this, when we're in the

1021
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 5: cafeteria and I tell.

1022
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 4: You to go to go And what's the town I

1023
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 4: tell you to go to.

1024
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 2: Like spank Town or something like something like that.

1025
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: I forgot, but what I Palmville.

1026
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 5: And I have a pet peeve with actors who wait

1027
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 5: until they swallow their food to say a line. And

1028
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 5: if you notice in that thing, I always take the

1029
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 5: soup to hear. It doesn't go in.

1030
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: No, it never does, don't I.

1031
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: Never eat by the way, it's disgusting. Whenever there's you

1032
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: will if you ever see me eating in anything I've

1033
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: ever done, it's it's rare. I always my character is

1034
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: always done because I don't want to deal with all

1035
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: 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 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: on television shows or in movies now. Before before people

1038
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,680
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 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: see someone I watch a scene and someone's like eating,

1042
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, they ate like that for

1043
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: probably four hours. Not correct, My character's always done.

1044
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 5: Always, but also if it gets in the way of

1045
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 5: the actor saying the line and we have to wait

1046
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 5: for those of us in a big family, nobody.

1047
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 4: Waits to talk until they swallow. There's food in their mouth.

1048
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 5: They just segregate it over into kind of a chipmunk

1049
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 5: cheek and then they just fire out the words.

1050
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 4: Otherwise you'll lose the floor at the dinner table.

1051
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Did you guys have go to meals that you know

1052
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: they were always? There are lots of scenes where were

1053
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: supposed to have food in front of us. Did you guys

1054
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: have a go to thing you would ask to be

1055
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: in front of you steak soup?

1056
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 4: Steak me soup because you never have to eat it.

1057
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I'm gonna steal that, Johnny, because I'm

1058
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: always have a plate of I would always tell them,

1059
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: can you make it look like I'm done and like

1060
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: you know?

1061
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 4: And no, because with soup you can just the spoon.

1062
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 5: The prop of the spoon is it's indefatigable, it's perfect.

1063
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 5: It can you can and plush you can quote it

1064
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 5: at somebody, you can. It's the prop of the spoon.

1065
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 5: You use the spoon.

1066
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: I always went for steak because I could eat steak forever.

1067
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: I could eat steak like nobody's business.

1068
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: So you were eating, you were, you were an eater.

1069
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: No, but if I did have like there was that

1070
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: one episode where I did have to eat uh and

1071
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: because Turk gets really bad heartburn. And it's when UH

1072
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: had the lockleer was on the show and John c

1073
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: myself and head a lockleer at some benefit and Carl

1074
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: is supposed to meet us there and she never shows

1075
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: up and I wind up eating a bunch of steak

1076
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: and uh end up in the hospital with really bad heartburn.

1077
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 2: Uh So I always went. I always went for steak

1078
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: because I could eat it. It tastes good, it's easy to season,

1079
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 2: throw some salt on it, you know what I mean,

1080
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 2: it's it's good to go.

1081
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 5: I thought there were a couple of different times in

1082
00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 5: this episode where despite everything the ensemble one where you

1083
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 5: is where you pass the torch to Sean, and Sean

1084
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 5: just fits right into the style of the piece, like

1085
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 5: he just takes the torch, we pan with you out

1086
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 5: a frame, we come back, Sean's put the torch down

1087
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 5: and you guys just keep doing your thing.

1088
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: That was clever. I was cleverly directed. And and I

1089
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: want to say, it's a rare moment where that's obviously

1090
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: a fantasy and there was no flash in out of it.

1091
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: I was clocking that because you know, Bill always delineated

1092
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy with a with a little white flash and

1093
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: that noise. And this is one of those rare times

1094
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: where the torch is a character, a prop character in

1095
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: the piece, and there's no it's both times it comes in,

1096
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: it's just handed off and not really discussed.

1097
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 6: I mean's also what's also interesting with Sean is Sean's introduction,

1098
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 6: which would become a classic Scrubs introduction, especially with beautiful

1099
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 6: females with wind and slow mow entrances as they walk

1100
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 6: down a hall.

1101
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 4: Sean gets to come in on top of a gurney.

1102
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 5: Saving someone's life and it's just glorious.

1103
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: Dude, I wrote that down, Johnny. I'm glad you brought

1104
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: that up because I wrote that down. I think that

1105
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: might be the best entrance other than other than.

1106
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: Dick van Dyke.

1107
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 2: Dick van Dyke's entrance is pretty amazing too, but that

1108
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: might be one of the best entrances for male in

1109
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: Scrubs history.

1110
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Joelle, do we need to go a

1111
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: break or we take to go to these lovely people?

1112
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna go take another break and we

1113
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: come back. We have questions from some fans that are

1114
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: calling in, and they're gonna have an amazing question, I'm sure,

1115
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: probably for the legendary JOHNNYE.

1116
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 4: McGinley.

1117
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint. Her name's Ashley. As we

1118

1120
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: And friend, do you know much money? Do you know

1121
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: how much money it cost us to get Orah to

1122
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: do all these introductions of our guests. It's fortune. Hi, guys,

1123
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,600

1124
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: unique and special about you? Guys? So I wrote in

1125
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: earlier this week, I was looking if I could figure

1126
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,680

Speaker 1: Oh man, Wow, you're the real deal.

1139
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 2: Very much. Thank you so much, very very much for

1140
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: for calling in. Uh who's going to ask the question?

1141
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 2: He is awesome.

00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 8: This is my birthday, birthday, to your happy birthday, to

Speaker 8: your happy birthday.

1144
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 5: We called it Jamie Birthday.

1145
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 2: He's a grown man, as you know. He works in

1146
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: the hospital. Not like us. We were fake doctors on

1147
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: a TV show.

1148
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: Yes, bringing it home?

1149
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 5: Yes?

1150
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: So wait did you not know about this? Is this

1151
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: a surprise?

1152
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 7: I kept it a surprise for maybe for seconds, and you.

1153
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: Should have kept it a surprise until you guys zoomed in.

1154
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 2: How cool would that been? But then you never know,

1155
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: you would have been like, who are these guys? Who

1156
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 2: are these guys? Right? Who are these guys?

1157
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: All right? Go ahead, guys, go ahead.

1158
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 2: Sure.

1159
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 7: So I guess the biggest question is I guess what

1160
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 7: it came down to is I watched a lot of

1161
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 7: the different Pete medical shows, and I found that throughout

1162
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 7: my training so far, and I was attending so far

1163
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 7: that the show of Scrub actually portrays how hospital life

1164
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 7: really works the most accurate of all the medical shows,

1165
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 7: despite it being primarily a comedy. Was that something that

1166
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 7: Bill purposely did? Was that something that the staff tried

1167
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 7: to incorporate? Because I was, I mean, I listened to

1168
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 7: the first one and tell like Donald really good around

1169
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 7: the hospital?

1170
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: No, I was? I was, I was, You're absolutely right.

1171
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: I was so afraid to go into the hospital at

1172
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: that point. Listen. Since then, I've you know, I've developed

1173
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: a a listen if something's wrong or if I feel

1174
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 2: like something's wrong, I'm going right to my primary and

1175
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about it. Before that, though, I

1176
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: was just like every other person. You know, in the

1177
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: African American community, we have a stigma when it comes

1178
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 2: to doctors. We're very afraid of the bad news. And

1179
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: you think I'm joking. But this is the honest to

1180
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: goodness truth and.

1181
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 4: Very right.

1182
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: I've done. I've done PSA after PSA about talking, you know,

1183
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 2: talking about you know, going and getting your numbers known.

1184
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: Go get your lesterol, get your your BMI, your your

1185
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: blood pressure, your blood sugar.

1186
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: I love You're trying to listen them to an er doc.

1187
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to listen.

1188
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: He was like, he was like blue close. You're like, no, no, no,

1189
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: there's four, there's uh anyway, But Johnny, Johnny, why don't

1190
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: you answer because you're the special guest about about his question.

1191
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 5: I had spent the first three weeks of my son's

1192
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 5: life a couple of years earlier in the neonatal intensive

1193
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 5: care unit, and I carried most of that was that

1194
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 5: functioned largely is all the homework I ever needed for

1195
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 5: medical replication, trying to do medical stuff. And uh Max

1196
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 5: had different challenges born with down in rome, and he

1197
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 5: had microscopicals and hard also we had infatel seizures, We

1198
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 5: had all sorts of different challenges. But if you spend

1199
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 5: if you're the Akron import is the nick you, if

1200
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 5: you spent three or four weeks in the nick you,

1201
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 5: you should get enough of that on you to be

1202
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 5: able to tell the.

1203
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 4: Truth in front of the lens.

1204
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 5: And so that that's largely what I was trying to

1205
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 5: honor when we were doing that Medical scripts. I think

1206
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 5: Bill was relationship stuff.

1207
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: I think Bill also has said, you know, we knew

1208
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: we were going to be silly, and we knew we

1209
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: were gonna have these crazy fantasies, and we knew in

1210
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot in a lot of ways, it was gonna

1211
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: be a comedy. So he wanted the baseline. He wanted

1212
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: to drop in for all the medicine to be as

1213
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: accurate as possible.

1214
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: And and that was also something that John Dorris wanted

1215
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 2: to the real JD wanted. He was like, listen, you

1216
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: can make fun of all of the things we did

1217
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 2: that I did in college and stuff like that, but

1218
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: it has to be grounded at the end of the day.

1219
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 2: Don't make a fool of us, you know what I mean.

1220
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: Make sure that that there's truth behind everything as well.

1221
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that that's one of the reason works.

1222
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: And I think the American Medical Association has said, which

1223
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: we always thought was bizarre, but that they said that

1224
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: this was the most medical accurate of all the medical shows.

1225
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: So we always took that as a badge of honor.

1226
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: And I think Bill was really, really, really proud of that.

1227
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: He said, we can be as silly as we want

1228
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: to be when we get into the medicine. It's all

1229
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be real.

1230
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: And also, yeah, once you get that, once you get

1231
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: that tag, where you got where someone says to you,

1232
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: you guys are the most medically accurate, you don't ever

1233
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: want to fall off that that vandwagon. You want to stay.

1234
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: You want to stay on that. You want to make

1235
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: sure that every story, at least in the first at

1236
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: least in the first eight seasons. I don't know about

1237
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: season nine, but in the first eight seasons we made

1238
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:37,479
Speaker 2: sure to stick to the actual script to keep it real.

1239
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: As they say, oh, is that an expression? I hear

1240
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: the kids say that nowadays. Do you have another question?

1241
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead, So that'll be the I guess the more, hey,

1242
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 7: are they more difficult? Question easier? One is what keepsicks?

1243
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 7: Did you guys get so rowdy didn't get taken with

1244
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 7: you guys. But what about like the TK necklaces or

1245
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 7: anything like that.

1246
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 5: I'm not a I'm not a souvenir guy, so I

1247
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 5: don't ever I should have taken stuff from a lot

1248
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 5: of sets.

1249
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 4: But it's not. I always thought it was bad luck.

1250
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: You don't know any scrubs whatsoever.

1251
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any scrubs in my house.

1252
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 5: I think it's a I think it's a jink.

1253
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: What about what about the kicks, because Nike sent us

1254
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of kicks when we were making that show.

1255
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: That's different.

1256
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 5: Swag. Swags are different than top.

1257
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 4: Bili.

1258
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have any. I have the slate. I

1259
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: have the slates from episodes I directed. You know the

1260
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: thing we clap in front of the lens.

1261
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 4: You're directing them.

1262
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I have the I have the antlers

1263
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: from when we did the pilot, when I was a

1264
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: deer in headlights. Donald is showing you his his.

1265
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: My scrub sneakers, my hundredth episode sneakers.

1266
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: Look how warn and ruined they are.

1267
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: I've rocked these for like a year.

1268
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: I put mine on a shelf and saved them, and

1269
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: they're mint and Donald's are all fucked up.

1270
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of these.

1271
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 5: And look, that's the best rewraps on the planet for

1272
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 5: for Christmas.

1273
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: You guys. Well, one thing that's funny about this podcast

1274
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: on the Zoom Call is that whenever Donald wants to

1275
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: reference a piece of clothing, he doesn't have to move

1276
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: from his seat. He just reaches out of frame and

1277
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: pulls it in.

1278
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Well, we are in my closet.

1279
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: No, it's just funny, Like you've done that a few

1280
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: times now. It's not even like you have to stand.

1281
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: You just reach out a frame and pull out.

1282
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm on my side. I I'm in, like I'm in,

1283
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Like I'm on my side. So like all of this

1284
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: is me, this is my wife's stuff. So if I

1285
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: really I'm never I was. You know, what I was

1286
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 2: thinking about doing was turning it all around and doing

1287
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 2: it from a different angle. But I think I just

1288
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: confuse everyone.

1289
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: No, I love this. I will forever remember this time

1290
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: of doing this podcast and staring at you like it

1291
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: looks like you're sitting on the ground in your closet.

1292
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's not every day that we have a

1293
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: real live doctor on the show, right, And so this is,

1294
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 2: this is this is a pretty special thing. If you

1295
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: have any other questions, feel free to ask us.

1296
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Well, Donald's giving you the rare third question you can have.

1297
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: It's never been bestowed. It's because you're a real doctor.

1298
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: It's never been bestowed upon anyone.

1299
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: In all seven episodes of Fake Doctors, Real Friends.

1300
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 7: All Right, what was the most emotionally difficult episode that

1301
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 7: you guys did?

1302
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Yes, good, Johnny, what's up?

1303
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 5: I thought this one would have to be right up there,

1304
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 5: just getting through this one and trying to hew to

1305
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 5: the style of the piece and not fall too deep

1306
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 5: deep end of an eleven of it all, it was

1307
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 5: it was impossible.

1308
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: But Johnny, we have to give a nod to one

1309
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of the best episodes ever where you were just incredibly

1310
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: good in that Brendan Frasier dying episode.

1311
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that that we got to act. That was acting.

1312
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 5: This was this was real life, just killed four thousand people,

1313
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 5: and and it was I thought it was almost impossible

1314
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 5: to get.

1315
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 4: Through this episode.

1316
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 5: And when I watched it and it actually just made

1317
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 5: sense that it made sense. Yeah, it's good.

1318
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, not great, it's just good.

1319
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I was gonna say it still has some

1320
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 2: really genuinely funny parts, and the emotion that Sean has

1321
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 2: at the end of the episode, and even the and

1322
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: the emotion that you have with Carla at the end

1323
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 2: of the episode. You talked about that earlier in the podcast,

1324
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: about how it gave you a lump in your throat

1325
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: and everything like that, because you were speaking your truth

1326
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 2: at that moment.

1327
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 4: But I.

1328
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 5: Right, right, absolutely, I think tough like potassium and asked

1329
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 5: and TikTok tourice. Those things caught me off guard last

1330
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 5: night when I was watching it.

1331
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: I also, I'm sorry to be I'm sorry to be

1332
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the guy who laughs at a fart joke, but I

1333
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: legit laughed so hard when when Todd goes the wording

1334
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: of this line is so funny, sir, I farted long pause.

1335
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: That smell is from the fart that I made. You

1336
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: know he heard that line, but the wording of that,

1337
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: the wording of that, I think that's the funniest thing

1338
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: in the whole episode, to be honest, And I'm sorry

1339
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to be so so simple that I love a fart

1340
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: joke that much, but I just thought the wording of that,

1341
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: that smell pause is from the fart that I made. Meanwhile,

1342
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: the surgeon. What's his name? He's in there, like, what's

1343
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: what's that smell from? What the hell happened? What's going on?

1344
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 4: That actor? That actor did a good job.

1345
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 5: Charles kind of a thankless role.

1346
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's been in a lot of movies.

1347
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Actually he was in he was in Dumb and Dunk.

1348
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 5: He's the guy dry and right down the middle.

1349
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charles was great, man. He he's stuck around for

1350
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 2: damn near the whole show. You know what's interesting. I

1351
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: didn't realize Johnny Castle was in the show that much.

1352
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 5: Me neither.

1353
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 2: He's in like every episode, even she's Dug.

1354
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: I didn't don't. I really don't remember that Doug had

1355
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: this bigger role in the show. But Doug's dunks. Doug's

1356
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, thank you

Speaker 2: have the honor of having some husband your boyfriend that's

1363
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: her husband.

1364
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Okay, good, I thought you might have been proposing for him,

1365
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: and you just gotta.

1366
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,959
Speaker 5: You get it. If you get a surgeon, man or woman,

1367
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 5: you you marry that person.

1368
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, lock it down, lock it down.

1369
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 5: You're a guy who got a female surgeon? Is that

1370
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 5: you marry that?

1371
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1372
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? Be well, take care.

1373
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Guys, all right.

1374
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 5: I thought Sarah had a really nice beat when Sarah's

1375
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 5: being overwhelmed for a moment where we're in the closet,

1376
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 5: she's so good at turning stuff. She just she's really upset,

1377
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 5: and then she turns it. She puts on that grave

1378
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 5: face and it's it's a little gem and I have

1379
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 5: no idea of nine to eleven imprinted on her in

1380
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 5: some way for that, but she just turns it and

1381
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 5: it's she's so nimble. I forgot how how fastal she

1382
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 5: is emotionally.

1383
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 2: One of my favorite lines in the show is when

1384
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 2: she goes, I'd let him drool on me, and then

1385
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 2: the way she looks at Zach after she says it

1386
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 2: you she met that shit.

1387
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: That's funny. Donald. Do you have any memory of the

1388
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy at ten forty seven, which is that post apocalyptic like, no,

1389
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: you're standing by a fire.

1390
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: I I remember after I saw it, I remembered us

1391
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 2: doing that scene, but I was like, where is this going?

1392
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 2: I didn't know where it was?

1393
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Was the the basement?

1394
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: It was a basement. You know What's interesting, I even

1395
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 2: though this took place during nine to eleven, there are

1396
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 2: a lot of moments in the show where I was like, well,

1397
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.

1398
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, There's there's certain things that I did remember.

1399
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 2: I remembered Sean Hayes and him getting choked. I definitely

1400
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: remember the last scene with UH, with Johnny and UH

1401
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 2: and Judy where he kind of slips and professes his

1402
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 2: love for her. I remembered all of that because that

1403
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 2: tracked with my story. But other than that, man, you know,

1404
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I say this every week watching this show is it's

1405
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: it's so much fun for me because I don't remember

1406
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 2: any of it. It's like I'm watching it with fresh eyes.

1407
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 5: If you if you weren't in a scene, or let

1408
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 5: me say this about me, if I wasn't in a scene,

1409
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 5: I wasn't leaving my dressing room to go watch stuff.

1410
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: Right, But even when the show came on, tell right,

1411
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: this is all brand new for me.

1412
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: But also, Johnny, you weren't smoking long hits, so you

1413
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: probably have. You probably have some of your brain left.

1414
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

1415
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: So Donald was like, I didn't even know the show

1416
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: is about doctors.

1417
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 2: I was very young. I smoked a lot of marijuana

1418
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 2: when I was a kid.

1419
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 4: Was that?

1420
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: So was that your first correct me if I'm wrong.

1421
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Was that your guys first scene together, that you telling

1422
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: him to beat off?

1423
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1424
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 5: It's it certainly seems like it in the concert.

1425
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but well, yeah, yeah, after that, you

1426
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: and I had so many scenes. You know, all of

1427
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 2: a sudden, I became Gandhi. I don't even know how

1428
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 2: that came. Was that an improv from you? Did you

1429
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 2: make up Gandhi? Or was okay? Okay? But yeah, this

1430
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 2: is this is the beginning of the Cox and Turk Uh.

1431
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, your very first encounter you because we were the two.

1432
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 2: Athletes in the hospital, you know what I mean. And

1433
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 2: so now it was like, oh, okay, So it was like,

1434
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, Michael Jordan versus Kobe Bryant, you know what

1435
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean.

1436
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: And also he really didn't you know. The whole point

1437
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: was he didn't like you fucking with Carla.

1438
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 2: In the beginning and actually in the beginning, but as

1439
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 2: time goes on, the beat that Cox and Turk have

1440
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 2: is strictly it's all yo. You know this is we

1441
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: have this competitive fire, you know what I mean, and

1442
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 2: it needs to be and it needs to be, you

1443
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 2: know way we need to fan that bad boy so

1444
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 2: that you know, we can live. And so I think

1445
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 2: Cox and Turk really enjoyed trying to one up each other.

1446
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 5: I did too, but I thought it was a little manufactured,

1447
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 5: because again, if the camera is an X ray machine

1448
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 5: and you can see how it was a little man,

1449
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 5: it always felt a little manufactured to me.

1450
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

1451
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 4: I didn't believe that I had that big of a

1452
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 4: problem with.

1453
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 2: You, Okay. I always looked at it as he didn't

1454
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: like that I was with Carla, and because I won

1455
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,560
Speaker 2: and got that one up, he was always trying to

1456
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 2: get a one up on Turk. That's how I always

1457
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 2: looked at it. But I guess I just I mean,

1458
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: even in basketball, even when we played, even when we

1459
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,919
Speaker 2: played basketball and you hurt your back in that episode

1460
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 2: that we do that, even that, you know what I mean?

1461
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 2: But hey, yeah, you know, I think also the love

1462
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: that we have for each other. I remember my first

1463
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 2: time being like, Johnny, please don't intimidate me, and you're like,

1464
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 2: shut the fuck up, nobody's intimidating you. And you're right,

1465
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 2: You're right.

1466
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1467
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: You were always so generous, though, Johnny, with us, because

1468
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, we we we we knew who you were.

1469
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: We both loved your work, and I think both I

1470
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: could think I could speak for both of us when

1471
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: we were like nervous. I was nervous to work with you,

1472
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: and I just want to thank you. You know, for

1473
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: those of you who aren't actors, it's it's the person

1474
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 1: who's got more of a resume, and this is the

1475
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: bigger star. The onus is always on them to make

1476
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: everyone else feel comfortable around them. And I thought you

1477
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: always were so generous and never made us feel intimidated

1478
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: at all, unless it was obviously in the scene, but

1479
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 1: as a person.

1480
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 4: You never did.

1481
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 5: I felt like we were gonna that this truly was

1482
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 5: even even though Jackie all respect was number one on

1483
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 5: the call sheet. I felt like this thing was the

1484
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 5: truest form of an ensemble and that was never lost

1485
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 5: on me. And if that arising tide, there's the same

1486
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 5: horizon tide floats all boats, And I thought we had

1487
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 5: to do this together or sink. Either either rise or

1488
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 5: sink together with Billy at the helmet. There was no

1489
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 5: confusion about that. One time, Billy Rosine, I had to

1490
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 5: kiss his wife who played my wife or my ex

1491
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 5: wife on the show, Christa Miller, who is a very

1492
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 5: dear friend of mine, And so I kissed her, and

1493
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 5: in the middle of kissing her, she stuck her tongue

1494
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 5: in my mouth, and I was just I was like,

1495
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 5: I'm not okay with this, And so I go upstairs

1496
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 5: with the third floor where our dressing rooms are, where

1497
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 5: Billy's office goes, and I I knocked on the door

1498
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 5: and Billy told you saying, and he goes, yeah, come

1499
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 5: on in and sit down. I go, I gotta, I

1500
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 5: gotta get something off my chest here. I was just

1501
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 5: in the scene that you wrote. I was just having

1502
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 5: a kiss Christa, and she she stuck her tongue in

1503
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 5: my mouth. And he's such a ballmuster. He gives it

1504
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 5: a pause and he goes, did you like it? They

1505
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 5: did it to get me.

1506
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: By the way, Johnny, this dovetails into something I said.

1507
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: This dovetails was something I said earlier. I think Billy

1508
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a little bit of a

1509
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: thing for that.

1510
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 5: It was horrorfying. That's kissed by Christ was horrorfying. But

1511
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 5: the boss's beautiful wife. It makes me nervous even tell

1512
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 5: him 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 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a special place in his heart for

1515
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: man he likes kissing his wife.

1516
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, guys, when you watch

1517
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,960
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
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:50,439
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
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 2: and it's and maybe because we watched the whole episode now,

1523
01:11:56,439 --> 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 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 2: like I feel like that was foreshadowing. Obviously it was

1526
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 2: a problem and this was going to be the issue

1527
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 2: that broke him. I feel like, if you watch Scrubs,

1528
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 2: what we did very well. We presented the problem to

1529
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:21,640
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 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 2: the drama to make you feel it, but if you

1533
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 2: watched all the way through, we would leave crumbs and

1534
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 2: hints that this was coming.

1535
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 5: I think, yes, yes to that, and I think and

1536
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 5: it reminded me. I'm reminded of it in the first

1537
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 5: flashback where Zachi is with his brother and the tag

1538
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 5: out is we don't even talk that much, or he

1539
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 5: doesn't talk that much to me, And then there's this long,

1540
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,919
Speaker 5: I don't know, we'll make it up, twenty year disconnect,

1541
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 5: and when Tommy Kavanaugh shows up at the hospital, all

1542
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 5: that stuff that Zach had, that Billy had insinuated in

1543
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 5: that scene yields dividends because they have lost contact. They're

1544
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 5: completely disconnected, and the disconnect is profound when they're person

1545
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 5: to person. So when Tommy comes in and Jackie and

1546
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 5: him don't connect on any level, even the John River

1547
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 5: of Jackie's father, they don't connect at all. And that's

1548
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 5: all in that first flashback.

1549
01:13:28,680 --> 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
01:13:38,920 --> 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 roaring and you date

1555
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 2: someone else, and you know what I mean, Billy, it's

1556
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 2: very good at his.

1557
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: Job, Johnny, did you like this? Did you? Will you

1558
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:57,480
Speaker 1: come back again onto the podcast?

1559
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 5: Yeah? It seems it seems impossible to unload the number

1560
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 5: of stories. And this was a particularly hard episode when

1561
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 5: I was watching it. It was just a hard episode

1562
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 5: to a lot of stuff from nine to eleven came

1563
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 5: back to me, which I don't know if a lot

1564
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 5: of people it's a heavy handed way of approaching something,

1565
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 5: but people, actors are human beings.

1566
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 4: And I was.

1567
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 5: I was really impacted by nine to eleven in an

1568
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 5: immediate family way.

1569
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: And to have gotten through this.

1570
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 5: Episode in retrospect seems impossible to me.

1571
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 4: And that is that.

1572
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 5: It's that it's a coherent, well told tale that goes

1573
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 5: for twenty one minutes. Is good? That's good enough? Yeah,

1574
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 5: there are there are there are levels of good, better, best,

1575
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 5: excellent episodes, and this one just goes in under the

1576
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 5: category of executed.

1577
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:52,879
Speaker 4: We executed.

1578
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's some funny stuff in it.

1579
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 4: And that's good enough.

1580
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I totally agree. This is the first one. You know,

1581
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: I Donald and I joked when we start doing this, like,

1582
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be ones that we don't like,

1583
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: and we're like, that feels this is the first one

1584
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: that it's something we don't like it. It's just that

1585
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: it's like we all have this Pavlovian response to watching it, going, oh,

1586
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: this just feels wrong and weird, and we remember.

1587
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 5: I agree, and I'm not discounting to all the great

1588
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 5: work that everybody did.

1589
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 2: I was about to say, I feel like everybody did

1590
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 2: their job so well, though, you know what I mean

1591
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, regardless of what we

1592
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 2: were going through at the time, if you didn't know

1593
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,560
Speaker 2: that that was the nine to eleven episode, you're not

1594
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 2: going to be able to tell, you know what I mean.

1595
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.

01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,080
