Speaker 1: of the funniest of season one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, easy, easy, And we have a.
Speaker 1: Very handsome guests. Are you nervous? I put on a
Speaker 1: nice sweatshirt for him.

Speaker 2: lot together. Actually, we did Felicity together. We four Scrubs,
Speaker 2: and then after Scrubs we did a little movie called
Speaker 2: Let's Kill Ward's Wife together, and I played Ward uh
Speaker 2: and he directed, and so uh, you know what I get.
Speaker 1: I get nervous every time I see Scott Fully because really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a straight man for the most part. But
Speaker 1: there are certain men that I get a little shy
Speaker 1: in front of, and okay, Fully is one of them. Really,
Speaker 1: I don't want to play hide the peep with him,
Speaker 1: but I get a little I get a little jittery.
Speaker 2: Will you played? Would you play tip to tip?
Speaker 1: I don't want to touch tips. I just listen. I
Speaker 1: am secure enough in my in my sexuality to be
Speaker 1: able to say that I get a little, I get
Speaker 1: a little a flutter.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to go tip to tip with Scott Fully,
Speaker 1: but I I do think he's uh, he's very dreamy
Speaker 1: to look at, and I I also really like him
Speaker 1: as a human being. He's a he's a very sweet man. Okay,
Speaker 1: should we invite him in?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm excited. Dan bring him in, Dan allow
Speaker 1: him in. We put him in a green room. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, man, just talking about you, you were yeah,
Speaker 1: Donald was saying that you guys have worked on several
Speaker 1: projects together.
Speaker 2: Not wait before we get into this, Let's make sure
Speaker 2: he's recording.
Speaker 1: Are you recording stuff? Fully?
Speaker 3: I think I'm recording on here? Right the phone.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, good, good, many a guest. I got this
Speaker 1: sub stuff fully, but there's something that tells me that
Speaker 1: you're going to do it right.
Speaker 2: Oh, you look so handsome. Look at him looking out.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait.
Speaker 1: I was gonna wait a beat to tell him he
Speaker 1: was handsome. Donald, you went right for it.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you this. I watched the episode not
Speaker 3: that long ago. I've watched it a couple of times
Speaker 3: since we talked about me being on this, and this
Speaker 3: is the first time my hair has been the same
Speaker 3: length as it was during that episode. And I have
Speaker 3: the pandemic to think.
Speaker 1: Scott, you got an intro. I don't think another man
Speaker 1: in nine years got the intro that we normally reserve
Speaker 1: for the beautiful woman walking in with the slow motion
Speaker 1: and the fan and they literally angels going oh.
Speaker 3: It was a bit much and I was a little overwhelmed.
Speaker 3: And I think you can tell that in my performance.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious though.
Speaker 2: Eating Jello seductive.
Speaker 3: I mean I remember them. I remember them coming to
Speaker 3: me saying like, what do you want to eat? I
Speaker 3: was like, what's a hospital?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: And they're like jello.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: The way Sarah's character is so randy for you in
Speaker 1: this I had forgotten, you know, we obviously, Scott, we
Speaker 1: go back. We haven't seen these in twenty years. And
Speaker 1: so it's fun for Doll and I because even though
Speaker 1: we're the stars of the show, were watching it like
Speaker 1: a new being, like, oh, that's a funny episode. And
Speaker 1: I had totally forgotten how in this episode Sarah is
Speaker 1: like really horny, frankly and riled up, like she's like
Speaker 1: she's she.
Speaker 2: Literally says, if I don't sleep with him, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: kill myself.
Speaker 1: Right And then yeah, she said she she'd suck on
Speaker 1: his foot or.
Speaker 2: Something, and then he's like, what I did?
Speaker 3: They went They went to a lot of links with this,
Speaker 3: between the sucking on the foot, talking about needing to
Speaker 3: sleep with me, begging me to ask her out do it,
Speaker 3: dropping stuff, and doing bizarre contortions, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: works for anybody out there. It was really funny.
Speaker 1: Though, because it's not something you often see on a show,
Speaker 1: like you always see like the man being like neurotic
Speaker 1: and frantic. How do I get her? And I'm so
Speaker 1: attracted to her, I'm so horny, you know, and this
Speaker 1: I thought this was funny that Sarah. First of all,
Speaker 1: Sarah was very funny doing it, but she's so on
Speaker 1: a mission to get laid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know, it's funny. I had so many
Speaker 3: thoughts watching this. Sorry, you're gonna see my lights going on,
Speaker 3: and nobody can see that because we're on a podcast.
Speaker 3: I'm in a closet where it's got one of those
Speaker 3: automatic lights. You walk in and it turns on, and
Speaker 3: if I'm sitting here and not moving, then it's gonna
Speaker 3: go dark.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of fancy house that Scott Foley has.
Speaker 1: Everyone he has a light that turns on with his money.
Speaker 2: Some people have the clapper, some people have light switches.
Speaker 2: Scott Foley has movement.
Speaker 1: One day, if you have the level of success of
Speaker 1: legendary actor Scott Fully, you could get one of these
Speaker 1: motion lights in your closet.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, I think all of your closets have that. No,
Speaker 3: I was so impressed. First of all, what a time capsule.
Speaker 3: These things are right, like not just the references, but
Speaker 3: everything you see, Like the TV you guys are watching
Speaker 3: in the beginning is an old vacuum tube television, you know,
Speaker 3: which you just don't see anymore. Plus you guys are
Speaker 3: talking about watching Iron Chef, which somehow has stood the
Speaker 3: test of time, because I think it's still on. I
Speaker 3: think there's still making.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think back then it was like Iron Chef
Speaker 2: was an import and now it's domestic.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that there's Is there a
Speaker 1: domestic Iron Chef?
Speaker 2: Yes, like body and all of that stuff on it
Speaker 2: and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was also it was also so impressive
Speaker 3: to me to see, you know, this is the we're
Speaker 3: getting towards the end of the first season, if I'm
Speaker 3: not mistaken, and you guys have your characters dialed in
Speaker 3: at this point already. I've been on a bunch of
Speaker 3: television shows where it's not until like end of season
Speaker 3: three where people are like, oh, oh, I know who
Speaker 3: this guy is. You guys are dialed in to a
Speaker 3: person like two from Kelso to Cox to you guys
Speaker 3: to Sarah to like, it's amazing and being able to
Speaker 3: jump into that, you know, it was such an interesting
Speaker 3: character that I got to play here. But you're right,
Speaker 3: watching Sarah and that character totally go for it was
Speaker 3: such an interesting thing because you always see it from
Speaker 3: the other side, don't you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she's really fucking funny. I mean, we say this,
Speaker 1: this is our twentieth episode of this Scott Fully, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, it's become us a hit and we
Speaker 1: can't believe it ourselves. But this is our twentieth one
Speaker 1: and we've said it a bunch of times. But Sarah
Speaker 1: Chalk is so fucking funny. I mean this episode in particular,
Speaker 1: she is so fucking funny in this episode.
Speaker 3: She's so talented, she's so beautiful, she is so good
Speaker 3: at what she does, and she goes for it, man.
Speaker 3: And that's what I appreciated most about the show is that,
Speaker 3: you know, there are things that you would read on
Speaker 3: the page, you think like, oh how am I going
Speaker 3: to do that? And everybody to a person goes for it.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what really made this show successful
Speaker 3: and what makes it stand the test of time, even
Speaker 3: though we're still looking at old TV sets.
Speaker 2: It's all good.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of serious, a lot to talk about, Donald,
Speaker 1: but I think we should sing first.
Speaker 2: And Scott, I was about to say, speaking of successful,
Speaker 2: let's get into that successful theme song about six seven
Speaker 2: eight Scott to do it?
Speaker 1: No, I like it not the song I would like
Speaker 1: Scott fully to count it sent God has got.
Speaker 3: Five six, seven, eight stories about shore.
Speaker 4: We made about a bunch of dogs and nurses and
Speaker 4: janitor who he said, here's the stories next. So YadA
Speaker 4: around here, yeada n here.
Speaker 1: No, that's the first time in podcast history we stopped
Speaker 1: the opening theme song. And I'm sorry, Donald, I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to question your no.
Speaker 3: No no no no no no no no no, no
Speaker 3: no no.
Speaker 1: It's just about a VIP guest, and I thought, like,
Speaker 1: give him the honor.
Speaker 3: He was really excited to go for it.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not at all hurt in any way.
Speaker 1: No, you know you're we are, we are, we are
Speaker 1: partners in this, and I don't want you to ever
Speaker 1: think I would ever question when it's time to sing
Speaker 1: the song.
Speaker 3: It was just your harmony song. Your harmony with that
Speaker 3: song is something that that my wife and I have
Speaker 3: had conversations about.
Speaker 2: We go for it, We go for it's really good.
Speaker 1: No listen to Scott. When we made this song, we
Speaker 1: were like okay, but I was like, well, how do
Speaker 1: we how do we do it? Now? How do we
Speaker 1: You know, we made the song, but how are we
Speaker 1: are both going to sing all the lyrics and Donald's like,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I got this, and he like came up
Speaker 1: with all those harmonies.
Speaker 2: I was like, Zach was like, I'll just send you
Speaker 2: a I'll send you my verse. I'll sing the whole
Speaker 2: song and I'll send it to you and you just sing,
Speaker 2: because originally we were going to do it where we
Speaker 2: split up the the the words. Yeah right, And he
Speaker 2: was like, I'll sing the whole thing and you just
Speaker 2: pick where you want to sing, and we'll have Charlie
Speaker 2: cut us in. And I heard him sing and I
Speaker 2: was like, I think he sounds amazing. The only way
Speaker 2: that this is gonna work is if I just back
Speaker 2: him up with some hard.
Speaker 3: If I sing the whole thing too, it's exactly good.
Speaker 1: Exactly this is good. But you know what's gonna do,
Speaker 1: what's gonna make it better? If I do really need
Speaker 1: if I do really showy harmonies over all.
Speaker 3: Of this, well it works and we are fans, so
Speaker 3: good job, right, right.
Speaker 2: Of course, Donald, I think we should go back to
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that, let's obviously Scott's career.
Speaker 1: I'll do a little we have to go back a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: Scott.
Speaker 1: The first time I remember hearing about you was on
Speaker 1: a very very successful show, solely successful because of Donald's
Speaker 1: phase on but I believe you were on it too.
Speaker 1: It's called Felicity, that's correct.
Speaker 3: Donald and I met for the first time on Felicity,
Speaker 3: and I remember being like, holy ship, the clueless guys here.
Speaker 1: That's what happens every time he walks into.
Speaker 3: A restaurant, of course, of course, but I also I
Speaker 3: mean Donald was great on that, and you were you.
Speaker 3: You had that you were going through this phase where
Speaker 3: you were trying to be ripped you. I remember I
Speaker 3: think the first table read you came in, you were
Speaker 3: carrying like a three gallon Jerry can of water.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It gives you crazy, the amount of water you would
Speaker 3: drink every day, and you were shredded. And we'd play
Speaker 3: basketball in the parking lot out there. And actually I remember,
Speaker 3: I think you've been on the show off and on
Speaker 3: for a season or two, maybe three, and before Scrubs
Speaker 3: came around, right, yeah, And I remember talking to you.
Speaker 3: You had done the pilot and you were telling me
Speaker 3: about it and you said, I don't know, man, it's
Speaker 3: really funny. It's from this young rider. Uh. He did
Speaker 3: Spin City and we got a good group and I
Speaker 3: saw the pilot and it's really funny. I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna take off. And I was like, yeah, good for you.
Speaker 3: Let's keep playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Yes, and later, Yeah, we had a lot of conversations
Speaker 2: just about work back back then. Also, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know how new you were to the game, but
Speaker 2: you had been working. You did, you had done Felicity,
Speaker 2: You had done Scream two or was it.
Speaker 3: Your scream Scream three? I'd done before for I had
Speaker 3: done Dawson's Creek, which was sort of my introduction to
Speaker 3: the back then was the WB the now defunct WB World, which.
Speaker 1: Was Felicity, your first big leading part.
Speaker 3: Felicity was my first big leading part. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: you know it was. It was really the the springboard
Speaker 3: that and I'm so grateful for it that that allowed
Speaker 3: me to be a part of your show and sort
Speaker 3: of everything that's come since.
Speaker 1: And and when you guys, are you guys still friendly?
Speaker 1: The three of you, the three of you.
Speaker 3: The love Triangle, We're not not friendly.
Speaker 1: We don't like you know, I me and Donald where
Speaker 1: you're not like having him over and and and putting
Speaker 1: his putting his kids in a in a bouncy castle.
Speaker 3: No, I'm I'm We're not like that. But but we
Speaker 3: got together last year for it was the twentieth reunion
Speaker 3: of Felicity. Wow, which was amazing and we got so
Speaker 3: many people together. We went to the at X, the
Speaker 3: Austin Television Festival, and I think they screened an episode
Speaker 3: and we all sat on stage where a bunch of
Speaker 3: people ask us questions. There was a modern and it
Speaker 3: was really great. It was the first time we'd all
Speaker 3: been together in you know, seventeen eighteen years.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really really fun man, And I uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I'd always said I don't think you know,
Speaker 3: they talk about doing reboots, and I always said, I
Speaker 3: don't think you can do a reboot of Felicity because
Speaker 3: it was so specific to not just that time in
Speaker 3: a person's life when we were all so much younger,
Speaker 3: but to that period of the world of our existence.
Speaker 3: And I sort of changed my mind after being with
Speaker 3: them because I just missed them all so much, and
Speaker 3: I remembered the feelings that I had, both good and bad,
Speaker 3: and I sort of yearned for them.
Speaker 1: So, if you know, I think we have an exclusive
Speaker 1: right here on the Fake Doctor's real friend, gott Foley
Speaker 1: is willing to do a Felicity reboot everybody.
Speaker 3: That would be interesting again, it wouldn't be a no.
Speaker 1: Could Donald be on it too? I would only support
Speaker 1: it if my character lives.
Speaker 2: My character lives, so it's a possibility.
Speaker 1: Right, Could I only support it if you get to
Speaker 1: come back town.
Speaker 2: It would be very interesting to see if everybody is
Speaker 2: still friendly from the cast in the show, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, you guys were in college together,
Speaker 2: and you guys all lived together, kind disorder, and you
Speaker 2: guys all dated each other, but it was college and
Speaker 2: usually you know, I didn't go to college, but I
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of friends from my you know,
Speaker 2: early that I still hang out with from my early
Speaker 2: twenties that I still hang out with. So it'd be
Speaker 2: really interesting to see what happened after you guys all
Speaker 2: left NYU.
Speaker 1: I remember when there was a controversy when Carrie Russell
Speaker 1: cut her hair. People lost their minds, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's I remember being.
Speaker 1: Like, I remember, I remember I didn't watch the show,
Speaker 1: but I remember being like, are people really up in
Speaker 1: arms that carry Russell cut her hair?
Speaker 3: People were up in arms and it was it's to
Speaker 3: this day, I think the thing that people talk about
Speaker 3: the most when they talk about the show, and the
Speaker 3: interesting thing is that it was scripted, Like she cut
Speaker 3: her hair on the show and somehow it it gained traction.
Speaker 3: Is this urban legend that she did it on her
Speaker 3: own because she was angry or wanted to change or
Speaker 3: get away from the character. We cut it. You actually
Speaker 3: see it in season two of the show, her cutting
Speaker 3: her hair, and I thought she looked more beautiful with
Speaker 3: the short hair than she did with the long.
Speaker 1: But you know, people just loved it. I'm just just
Speaker 1: making up that people loved her hair so much that
Speaker 1: they were like, how dare you?
Speaker 2: It was a lot of hair due it was a
Speaker 2: lot of hair.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, as I recall, she had beautiful, curly, long hair,
Speaker 1: and people were like, you know.
Speaker 2: Dare you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I enviable hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it looked like she had been growing it
Speaker 2: since birth. That's how beautiful the hair was.
Speaker 1: Garry Russell was on our show. She was a love
Speaker 1: interest of mine.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 1: On Scrubs? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yes, she did a couple episodes, just like, well you
Speaker 2: did way more episode your character tracked.
Speaker 1: For Yeah, well don't worry, Scott, you did way more.
Speaker 1: But uh, I know, you know you did me a
Speaker 1: favor and look up how many she did.
Speaker 2: But she did too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, Donald, you know.
Speaker 3: That that's cool. So now she's talented and great.
Speaker 1: And we kissed, I think, I mean on the show.
Speaker 1: I think we kissed.
Speaker 3: We might be lip guarantee. I would guarantee that you
Speaker 3: remember whether you kissed or not.
Speaker 1: No, I know, I I remember being very excited that
Speaker 1: she was a love interest. But Jad didn't make out
Speaker 1: with all his love interests. I Joelle will look it
Speaker 1: up for me, did JD? But anyway, Scott, we might
Speaker 1: be lip cousins.
Speaker 3: We're definitely wiener cousins.
Speaker 1: We're definitely wiener cousins. Donald and I were touching talk
Speaker 1: about touching tips or just before you came on, but
Speaker 1: not in real life Donald with Sarah.
Speaker 3: In the character Yeah, oh oh oh, well, I think
Speaker 3: I hope that's the only crossover.
Speaker 1: I don't think we had any real life crossover, Scott, fully,
Speaker 1: and I hope not because the woman would have clearly
Speaker 1: preferred you.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, although you know, I'm only
Speaker 3: how dare you you know how handsome you are?
Speaker 1: Scott?
Speaker 2: Listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 1: You might be handsome.
Speaker 2: Tell me all you know, listen, I know that all
Speaker 2: of your supporters are out there right now. You know,
Speaker 2: just you probably bought, you know, quite a few downloads
Speaker 2: to our podcast. Just you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, now, yeah, that's very kind.
Speaker 2: People are your scandal crew? Hey, girls, how y'all doing?
Speaker 2: I'll take that.
Speaker 1: Must have something else in common, and that is we've
Speaker 1: all had ABC cancel our shows in season one?
Speaker 2: Yes, brutal thirteen episodes. He's got thirteen.
Speaker 1: I only got I only got ten, Scott, how many
Speaker 1: did you get?
Speaker 3: We got thirteen, thank goodness, and a trip to Prague?
Speaker 2: That right, right.
Speaker 1: So for those of you who don't know, because I
Speaker 1: guess not enough of you knew, ut none enough watched.
Speaker 1: Scott was on a huge budget action series that shot
Speaker 1: in Prague. He moved his whole family there, which is
Speaker 1: no small deal because you have two children, right.
Speaker 3: I have three children. They were three school over there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it was not a by no means a simple
Speaker 1: show I was about. I was going to direct it,
Speaker 1: but then I had a conflict. But it was a
Speaker 1: huge budget epic sort of James Bond comedic, James Bond
Speaker 1: action show that Bill Lawrence six Degrees of Bill Lawrence
Speaker 1: was the showrunner of and I thought it was amazing.
Speaker 1: The pilot was unbelievable. I couldn't believe the scale of it.
Speaker 1: It looked like it looked like a giant feature. Oh thanks, man,
Speaker 1: and you were so good in it. But anyway, I was,
Speaker 1: as I was preparing for today, I went all three
Speaker 1: of us were at work, were stars of ABC, and
Speaker 1: then got a new ABC show that only went half
Speaker 1: a season.
Speaker 3: Man, it was just and it's still heartbreaking. My wife
Speaker 3: and I had a conversation about it a couple nights
Speaker 3: ago where you know, she was like, Oh, I wish
Speaker 3: we were still in Prague. You know, we just we
Speaker 3: were so fortunate. And you know, that's one of the
Speaker 3: great things about and one of the reasons I'm so
Speaker 3: excited to talk to you guys today, because you know,
Speaker 3: Scrubs for me was it started out as just a gig,
Speaker 3: right and coming in doing something fun, doing something different,
Speaker 3: and it has morphed into the relationships that I've made
Speaker 3: from it have have sustained a lot of what I do,
Speaker 3: and it's it's made me happy. The people that I've
Speaker 3: gotten to work with and gone on to work with
Speaker 3: because of Scrubs have been great. And like you said,
Speaker 3: Bill Lawrence was the showrunner of Whiskey Cavalier and we
Speaker 3: were over in Prague together and you know, without Scrubs
Speaker 3: that wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 1: And I think you really showed that you were really funny, Scott,
Speaker 1: I mean, he got I think that with your other
Speaker 1: shows that you'd known for, you know, whether it be
Speaker 1: Felicity or Scandal. You know, obviously people know that you
Speaker 1: as a as a great dramatic actor. But I think
Speaker 1: on Scrubs Bill really gave you a chance to be hilarious.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments of of of Shawn's character
Speaker 1: was in the script. I say this to Scott all
Speaker 1: the time and Bill all the time that it literally
Speaker 1: said in a script, Sean for lornly rides a dolphin.
Speaker 1: And then when I saw the shot of you for
Speaker 1: Lornley riding a dolphin, I thought he fucking nailed that.
Speaker 3: Maybe he really the best screen direction of my career.
Speaker 1: That's how I would sum up that shot is Sean
Speaker 1: Forlornly rise of dolphin.
Speaker 3: Oh thanks man, Well, I will look.
Speaker 2: Before I will say this, though I knew you were
Speaker 2: funny from when we did Felicity together, when Noel went
Speaker 2: off the rails and went a little batshit crazy, and
Speaker 2: you got to explore this character who was kind of
Speaker 2: by the book and did everything by the book, refined himself.
Speaker 2: And I remember doing a bunch of episodes where they
Speaker 2: were looking for you and we finally found you, and
Speaker 2: you were like, you were completely out there, And I
Speaker 2: remember not being able to hold it together when we
Speaker 2: were doing the takes because you were so funny. So
Speaker 2: I knew you were funny way before we still before
Speaker 2: you came on Scrubs.
Speaker 3: Oh thanks man. I yeah, I think I think Zach
Speaker 3: you overstated my my talent by saying I'm a great
Speaker 3: dramatic actor. I think I'm passable. But Donald, that was.
Speaker 3: That was a bizarre like Season three Tangent where my
Speaker 3: character Noel decided to change his name to Leon, literally
Speaker 3: just reversed the letters in his name. They put like
Speaker 3: a weird wig on me, so I had like blonde
Speaker 3: tips on my hair. It was the strangest thing. But
Speaker 3: thank you, Donald.
Speaker 2: That was.
Speaker 3: It was at least a little chance for me to
Speaker 3: stretch myself in that character.
Speaker 1: Now did J. J. Abrams run all the seasons.
Speaker 3: Every season, Yes, every season. He was gone a little
Speaker 3: bit on season four on our final season because he
Speaker 3: had started a show called Alias and so was sort
Speaker 3: of doing his time between both sets. But he was
Speaker 3: there the whole time. I was really fortunate. You know,
Speaker 3: obviously no one knew that J. J Abens would become J.
Speaker 3: J Abrams back then.
Speaker 1: You like, do you like Donald occasionally put it out
Speaker 1: there that you're open to being in any Star Wars
Speaker 1: franchises that he's suggested.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you it's been. It's been the like
Speaker 3: if if I was ever.
Speaker 1: In anything Gunberg Gunberg. He keeps getting all the love.
Speaker 1: I mean, where the Fu's happened to? With Donald and
Speaker 1: Scott Foley.
Speaker 3: Grumburg and J. J. Abrams have been friends since they
Speaker 3: were three years old. Like they were best friends in
Speaker 3: elementary school. They made you know, crappy movies together on
Speaker 3: their Super eight film cameras when they were kids. They
Speaker 3: were best men at each other's weddings. Look, I think
Speaker 3: JJ knows just by the fact that I'm an actor
Speaker 3: that I would like to be in Star Wars.
Speaker 1: There gotta be more directs good.
Speaker 3: Donald's very merus about him, But I would yeah, of
Speaker 3: course I would love to. And I've you know, every
Speaker 3: time he signs on to direct a new one, I
Speaker 3: sent him a text like, Wow, way to go. You're
Speaker 3: not gonna see your family for a while. Might want
Speaker 3: some friends around. So I'm not sure how to take
Speaker 3: it that he hasn't cast me in. You know, you
Speaker 3: always there's the old story that you know someone likes
Speaker 3: working with you, if they if they hire you again
Speaker 3: and again and again. And I've been I've been fortunate
Speaker 3: with Bill that that that's happened multiple times. JJ, not
Speaker 3: so much, not what you know.
Speaker 1: It's funny, jolly build a direct and giant tenpole movie.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on? Bill? Step it up?
Speaker 3: Do you remember he was gonna do Fletch eight script
Speaker 3: for Fletch and I went and I met with him,
Speaker 3: I read with him and there was a whole long
Speaker 3: Mirrormax story that goes with it. But but he was
Speaker 3: on his way. Man. I thought he would have been
Speaker 3: great at that.
Speaker 1: I know we really need him. I don't think he
Speaker 1: is interested. He loves TV so much. But I think
Speaker 1: for all of us, we would like Bill to become
Speaker 1: a studio ten pole filmmaker if he doesn't.
Speaker 3: Mind making movies anymore.
Speaker 1: They do. There's a couple coming out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying July. They're saying like into July, things
Speaker 2: are gonna pick.
Speaker 1: They're saying that Chris Nolan movie is coming out no
Speaker 1: matter what Tenant. Oh really right, That's what I've been hearing.
Speaker 1: And then I mean, maybe they'll change their mind. But
Speaker 1: I read something on the interwebs that said they're still
Speaker 1: saying July, which assumes that people are going to be
Speaker 1: willing to go to the theater in July. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. It seems pretty ballsy to
Speaker 1: release like a two hundred million dollars. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's not much money, but I think
Speaker 1: scient movies for that for in July.
Speaker 2: But some things are filming already, like they're filming in certain.
Speaker 1: Jowell just said two hundred and five million and July seven,
Speaker 1: that's coming up five million dollars. That's that's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how you spend two hundred and five
Speaker 1: million dollars.
Speaker 3: I would think, like, wouldn't you have to double the
Speaker 3: amount of theaters because the theaters are only going to
Speaker 3: be at half capacity just because of social distancing in
Speaker 3: order to like, they're just don't enough theaters out there
Speaker 3: to the money.
Speaker 1: Two hundred and five is the production budget, so they're
Speaker 1: gonna put like one hundred million into releasing it. That
Speaker 1: is a that's a lot of money.
Speaker 2: That is a lot of money. But I asked my
Speaker 2: but then you ask yourself how much did it cost
Speaker 2: to make Endgame and all of those things? Those things
Speaker 2: look like they cost half a billion dollars?
Speaker 1: No, but when you've got a built in marvel onians,
Speaker 1: this movie has no mega celebrities in it.
Speaker 2: I don't but it's Nolan, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know, Chris Nolan is his
Speaker 1: own enterprise. Don't get me wrong, I get it. But
Speaker 1: it's got to be the most amount of money spent
Speaker 1: on an original script.
Speaker 3: Wow, and fifty million game.
Speaker 1: Scott, you're not supposed to read the producer. Sorry, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a second time. It's did the same thing, Sarah.
Speaker 1: Sarah did the same thing. Scott Donald and I are
Speaker 1: the hosts of the show. You, as a guest, ignore
Speaker 1: my producer's notes.
Speaker 3: Well, no, you know what I was doing was pretending
Speaker 3: that I actually knew the budget.
Speaker 1: Sarah we had Sarah on, and Joel was like, you know,
Speaker 1: Joel always gives us little things to help the conversation along,
Speaker 1: and Sarah just starts reading them, Like, Sarah, that is
Speaker 1: not for the guests.
Speaker 3: The fact that you needed little things to help the
Speaker 3: conversation along with Sarah, who I worked with for ten years,
Speaker 3: is amazing.
Speaker 1: No, but I said, I said, Sarah, what happens if
Speaker 1: Joel's writing like this is so boring? Help her along?
Speaker 1: You know, like, don't read those?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'll wait, I'm gonna put a piece of
Speaker 3: tape above my my No no.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding
Speaker 1: Joel Wright. Joel would never write Scott fully is so boring.
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
Speaker 3: She wouldn't be the first one.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: All I was saying was that Chris Nolan, I get,
Speaker 1: is his own entity, and I get that everyone is
Speaker 1: going to see this movie because he's a fucking genius.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if it's the most amount of money
Speaker 1: ever spent on a on a on a piece of
Speaker 1: material that isn't already established piece of intellectual property like
Speaker 1: Marvel or James Bond or the like. You know, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I.
Speaker 2: Don't I don't know. That's a lot of money to
Speaker 2: have to spend on something and it not work, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean just it's just the amount of
Speaker 1: money it has to make in order for it to
Speaker 1: be successful is just. And especially with what Scott's saying
Speaker 1: is that the talk is that the theaters are only
Speaker 1: gonna be half full, so you can have most distance
Speaker 1: from from each other. So then you need double the
Speaker 1: amount of screenings.
Speaker 2: You know, work. What would be really interesting is Okay,
Speaker 2: so Trolls World Tour was supposed to come out in
Speaker 2: theaters and it didn't make it to theaters because of
Speaker 2: the whole COVID thing, right, and so they released it
Speaker 2: on uh digital, the digital platform, but you had to
Speaker 2: rent it. You couldn't buy it. You could only rent it,
Speaker 2: and your rental lasts for about, you know, twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: I wonder how much money Trolls World Tour made. Because
Speaker 2: the model is there to put movies out, well, at
Speaker 2: least right now, if you if you really want to
Speaker 2: watch and they haven't really experimented with like big blockbuster movies,
Speaker 2: but if you really want to watch a movie, it's
Speaker 2: fine to watch it at home. I understand they need
Speaker 2: movie theater money because popcorn all of that shit theaters
Speaker 2: and everything. But I wonder what Troll's World Tour did
Speaker 2: for Joelle? Can we find that out?
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's even I wonder if it's even published.
Speaker 2: So seventy seven million Trolls World Tour did That's a lot.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that would be. That would be you're saying,
Speaker 1: is that the first weekend or is that total? No,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be freaking sorry, that'd be total. So when
Speaker 1: you rent it, because I haven't done this yet, when
Speaker 1: you rent with this new model where you rent the
Speaker 1: movie for twenty four hour, what is what? What did
Speaker 1: Trolls cost you?
Speaker 3: Twenty bucks? Nineteen ninety nine something?
Speaker 1: I love the two dads. No, they're like twenty bucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah please. I looked at my wife. I
Speaker 3: was like, we're spending twenty bucks on this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we'll several times.
Speaker 1: To how much? Think how much money you've gotten off
Speaker 1: the faisons because you guys are renting it multiple times.
Speaker 2: But it would cost more if we went to the
Speaker 2: movie theater though, because it would be yes, twenty bucks
Speaker 2: each person you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And so, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: Plus popcorn and all of that stuff. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they get money for the popcorn, but I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a newty.
Speaker 2: Seven million is a lot of money to make online.
Speaker 3: Dude, that's a new model. They've been talking about it.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's an interesting way to go to.
Speaker 1: Tell me what people are going to start doing. I
Speaker 1: mean if because I don't you know, Spike Lee said
Speaker 1: the other day he's not going to the theater until
Speaker 1: there's a vaccine, and I was kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I might agree with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, my wife's not leaving
Speaker 3: the house till there's a fucking vaccine, you know, And
Speaker 3: that's your choice, right, It's yeah, sure, I have a
Speaker 3: lot to do with that.
Speaker 1: Donald, your wife is your wife more hardcore than you
Speaker 1: about this? Because Donald's definitely more hardcore than his wife.
Speaker 3: No, my wife is anxiety ridden about out everything. She
Speaker 3: is terrified not just that we're going to get it,
Speaker 3: but that we're all going to die from it when
Speaker 3: we get it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Mind you none of us have pre existing conditions. She
Speaker 3: has made five hundred masks and donated them and given
Speaker 3: them the friends. She is all over this, and I
Speaker 3: still can't leave the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: My wife doesn't like me right now because I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: maybe it started off like this. Maybe maybe in May, honey,
Speaker 2: maybe no, maybe in May. Okay, we'll see about May,
Speaker 2: and then May's come around. I'm like, okay, maybe June.
Speaker 2: And she's like, June is here, motherfucker. Like listen July.
Speaker 2: When July comes around, I promise you, baby, we're gonna
Speaker 2: scope out the situation and if it's all good, then
Speaker 2: we can go outside.
Speaker 1: Well, Donald and I got invited to go on Now
Speaker 1: there's this really popular YouTube show called Good Mythical Morning,
Speaker 1: and it's a hugely successful show. They do it in
Speaker 1: a normal time, to do it every excuse me, every morning,
Speaker 1: and uh we got an invite to do it at
Speaker 1: the end of July. And I was like, I think, like,
Speaker 1: and you have to go in person. They're not doing
Speaker 1: it on on on Zoom and I was like, I
Speaker 1: think and we were just talking about this before the show,
Speaker 1: like end of July, we could probably do that, right
Speaker 1: and we don't know, I mean, we're both having the conversation,
Speaker 1: but in our heads is like, are we gonna be
Speaker 1: going to do a talk show end of July? Does
Speaker 1: that seem like? Are we gonna wear masks? Like I
Speaker 1: don't understand how it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna talking face to face? Two.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, everybody's got an opinion. Mine is
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be okay. You know at a
Speaker 3: certain point, don't don't you doesn't life have to go on?
Speaker 3: I mean it does, and.
Speaker 1: I know, but but but choosing you know, life will
Speaker 1: go on, but choosing to go into like making choices
Speaker 1: that are like I'm gonna go sit in a movie
Speaker 1: theater with a bunch of people that might be coughing,
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna go into a tight elevator or a restaurant.
Speaker 1: I mean those choices. I don't know. I might, we
Speaker 1: might hold hold off on those. We got to go
Speaker 1: to a break because that's what we have to do,
Speaker 1: because this is a real show that has breaks and
Speaker 1: ads and ship Scott Fully, this isn't like a bullshit show.
Speaker 1: This is a show breaks.
Speaker 3: You guys have supporters, now, yeah we have.
Speaker 1: And we have real fancy ones too. And here here's
Speaker 1: some here's some of them are we'll be right, that
Speaker 1: I that I doll that I hold off to see
Speaker 1: who's gonna do it.
Speaker 3: We're like that, shame you guys don't enjoy.
Speaker 1: This because of the delay, nothing we ever do is
Speaker 1: in sync. So we sometimes ask Dan to in post
Speaker 1: to make it seem like we know how to sing
Speaker 1: at the same time.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Can you guys give me a minute to run
Speaker 2: and grab my notes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't don't. Don't take a deuce, dude, we
Speaker 1: got Scott Fully here.
Speaker 2: Scott Fully I would never do on your time.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: His minute is the equivalent of him learning learning his
Speaker 3: lines on scrubs.
Speaker 1: This is glad. You know we talked a lot about this.
Speaker 1: Will you please say that when he comes back.
Speaker 3: Or not learning his lines, I should say he's going away.
Speaker 1: He claims he's turned over a new leaf, but I
Speaker 1: think that's just because he's worried that potential directors and
Speaker 1: showrunners might be listening to the podcast and won't hire him.
Speaker 1: So he has this whole thing where he says that
Speaker 1: he's he's turned over a new leaf and now he
Speaker 1: learns his lines.
Speaker 3: Well, how it's a pandemic. That's his new leaf. There's
Speaker 3: nothing to learn.
Speaker 1: I know. He also said he quit weed, but I
Speaker 1: think that I will ask him if that's if that's lasted.
Speaker 1: Why is your wife's instagram handled the mean Chick? She
Speaker 1: seems like such a nice person, does she. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know her that well, but every time I've hung
Speaker 1: out with her, she seems delightful.
Speaker 3: She is delightful her her. She's Polish and her last
Speaker 3: name is Domin Chick or Domean Chick, which sounds like
Speaker 3: the mean chick. So every time someone has has a
Speaker 3: hard time pronouncing her name, she just says it sounds
Speaker 3: like the mean chick.
Speaker 2: So that's oh.
Speaker 1: I thought there were I thought it was like a
Speaker 1: thing like, look, you might think I'm nice, but I'm
Speaker 1: a bitch.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, she's She's an asshole.
Speaker 2: But god, I love her.
Speaker 1: And she had a good part on your show too,
Speaker 1: didn't she. Yeah, Man, I forgot did she have a
Speaker 1: recurring or something?
Speaker 3: She had she had a recurring role. And that was
Speaker 3: sort of one of the one of the caveats I
Speaker 3: had when I was when I was talking about shooting
Speaker 3: this show in Prague, you know, I was like, you
Speaker 3: guys want me to move over to Prague for a year.
Speaker 3: And I got a wife who's a working actress. I
Speaker 3: got three kids, and I'm gonna put in school, like
Speaker 3: I can't ask her to stop. And Bill was like,
Speaker 3: she could be on the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know whatever. Bill's a good salesman. He's like,
Speaker 1: I just I just discovered who our new recurring role is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but that it was a It was
Speaker 3: a It was a smart move on his part and
Speaker 3: and ours. Actually, you know, shooting over in Prague was
Speaker 3: obviously much better for the budget. The tax breaks and
Speaker 3: the cost of doing business over there is substantially lower.
Speaker 1: So and and just that production value. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a shot in the pilot. By the way, if you
Speaker 1: haven't see the show, go see it, even if you
Speaker 1: just watch the pilot, because you'll be impressed by the
Speaker 1: scope of the damn thing. I just couldn't. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a pilot was really well done, and I
Speaker 1: was I was gonna go direct one. I was sort
Speaker 1: of intimidated. I was like, how many days you get
Speaker 1: to shoot these episodes?
Speaker 3: Because it was just we were so excited to have
Speaker 3: you over there.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: We were so bummed when it when it fell through,
Speaker 3: and I know you got a big I.
Speaker 1: Got a part in a good role in a movie
Speaker 1: with Christopher Walking and my actor crush heart. Couldn't say
Speaker 1: no to that. As much as I wanted to come
Speaker 1: to Prague and Boss Scott Foley around the show, I
Speaker 1: know she's that episode would have would have been the thing. No,
Speaker 1: But I I I I can't wait to work with
Speaker 1: you again because I think you're fantastic. Donald.
Speaker 2: You're so amazing in this episode.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, let's get into the episode. Let's get in
Speaker 1: the episode. Yeah, it's a very good episode. You know
Speaker 1: we Adam Bernstein directed it, who directed our pilot. We've
Speaker 1: told you, and he's a very very funny talented guy,
Speaker 1: Eric Er, very funny writer.
Speaker 3: I played tennis with him after this episode.
Speaker 1: You're a good tennis players and not a bit of
Speaker 1: trivia about you.
Speaker 3: That is a bit of trivia about me. I'm I
Speaker 3: can hold my own. I'm not great, but I can.
Speaker 1: Hold my own.
Speaker 2: That's what college.
Speaker 1: That's what people who are really good say to be modest.
Speaker 1: You're really good. I think can you beat Bill? No? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bill's really good.
Speaker 3: Bill's really good. Although although these days I don't know
Speaker 3: he's gotten older.
Speaker 1: Bill. You know, Bill and I we don't. We don't
Speaker 1: play together because it's just not fun for for either
Speaker 1: one of us. But we often hit. We've we've vacationed together,
Speaker 1: and we would like each hit with a pro on
Speaker 1: separate courts because I'm I just can just get by.
Speaker 1: But I love it. And Bill's is like, you know,
Speaker 1: played college, is really good. But he would play these
Speaker 1: young pros and try his ass off to but he
Speaker 1: would keep up with him. I mean, you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was he was impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he's he's good. He and I have gone
Speaker 3: out to hit a few times. And we have a
Speaker 3: tennis program named Christian Kapolick who was a pro for
Speaker 3: a while and and sort of hits with a bunch
Speaker 3: of people around town and we both play with him.
Speaker 3: But Bill's very talented, as by the way, getting back
Speaker 3: to the episode, was mister Weinberg, he's a very good
Speaker 3: tennis player.
Speaker 1: I got to say that. What I want to start
Speaker 1: to say is that you know, we're watching these episodes, Scott,
Speaker 1: and they're all some of them are great and some
Speaker 1: of them are just okay. As as happens when you
Speaker 1: make one hundred and eighty two episodes of Something. I
Speaker 1: have to say this one is particularly really.
Speaker 2: Fucking funny one quite a few times.
Speaker 1: I mean about a bunch. Not only do we have
Speaker 1: Scott's wholet and Sarah's ark, which is hilarious, but the
Speaker 1: janitor fucking with me and telling all my patients to
Speaker 1: get sergerty. It's so funny.
Speaker 3: And Donald hes to everybody. He talks to everybody was
Speaker 3: in this episode he talks to e everybody.
Speaker 1: I know Bill, you know, as you know, Bill has
Speaker 1: held on to this, uh, this lure that in season
Speaker 1: one the janitor only spoke to JD and and if
Speaker 1: he was debating whether as we went forward, if if
Speaker 1: the janitor would just be a figured in Jad's imagination.
Speaker 2: This is where it went off the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think episode he must have been like fucking
Speaker 1: because the janitor tugs everybody.
Speaker 3: J is, He's given advice, He's given medical advice to people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really funny. Let's get into it. I'm
Speaker 1: your bia very funny.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, this was this is the beginning, well not
Speaker 2: the beginning of Scrubs being a musical, because we had
Speaker 2: Judy and Sam sing together. Yeah, but this is the
Speaker 2: beginning of big product musical productions. Though in Scrub we're
Speaker 2: all dancing in the hallway, Yeah, singing on a on
Speaker 2: a made up uh pire escape.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This was our homage to West Side Story, and
Speaker 1: we clearly didn't have the rights because we're very clearly
Speaker 1: tiptoeing around it being a West Side Story spoof. But
Speaker 1: it is a West Side Story spoof.
Speaker 3: I loved it. I love the musical theater references. I thought,
Speaker 3: you know, I was, I was sitting there watching this
Speaker 3: trying to think of the sort of the theme. And
Speaker 3: you know, they talk about competition, but but whether it's
Speaker 3: whether it's you, j D and Turk or Cox and Kelso,
Speaker 3: like it's it's not necessarily competition, but there's a power
Speaker 3: struggle happening here with all these characters, which was really
Speaker 3: interesting to watch. And I thought the you know, we're
Speaker 3: not obviously not there yet, but I thought that the resolution,
Speaker 3: especially when it came to you guys a storyline, was
Speaker 3: a great one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it is about. It's about I guess that's
Speaker 1: the theme in the two main storyline. I mean not
Speaker 1: the two main because you and Sarah one, the Cox
Speaker 1: Kelso one, and the me Donald on is is competing
Speaker 1: with your peers, And you're right, it is the first
Speaker 1: time we get into all these games that Donald and
Speaker 1: I would play over the years. Uh, these stupid, these
Speaker 1: stupid little challenges. You know, what was the one with
Speaker 1: hide the saltine and all the many things.
Speaker 2: But this was the first tower finger.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And they're all very They're all named in a very
Speaker 3: Bill Lawrence way, you know, like steak is just called steak,
Speaker 3: it's just but but even what Cox calls the nerve
Speaker 3: coffee nurse like it. It's so simple the way Bill
Speaker 3: names things.
Speaker 1: And it's hilarious, by the way, a little bit of
Speaker 1: trivia coffee nurs. I don't know if you know this
Speaker 1: is uh, Matt Tarsus's beautiful wife, Katie Tarsus.
Speaker 3: Matt, I didn't know that, Matt. I didn't you know
Speaker 3: Matt Tarsis Scott fully, Yeah, I know Matt, but I
Speaker 3: didn't know that was his wife.
Speaker 1: Matt Tarsus Is was one of our great writers on
Speaker 1: Scrubs and he created, along with me, are our ABC
Speaker 1: show that didn't work Alex inc And uh, he's a
Speaker 1: great human being and has a beautiful wife. And I
Speaker 1: stopped and I was like, that's Katie Tarsus playing coffee nurse.
Speaker 3: She was great.
Speaker 1: And I texted and I said, your wife is so
Speaker 1: beautiful in this episode and he said yes, And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say never mind what you got done,
Speaker 1: you got anything else? This dude is fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2: What's the name of the gentleman who played with Red Stoler?
Speaker 1: Is his name?
Speaker 2: So good?
Speaker 1: This guy. I got to tell you, if you are
Speaker 1: a director or a filmmaker or a showrunner, you need
Speaker 1: to hire this guy because every sentence he said, I
Speaker 1: laughed out loud.
Speaker 2: Out loud. I remember laughing when we were making the
Speaker 2: show and him doing this. The lines in the thing
Speaker 2: the Chicken that he shit had me going for days.
Speaker 1: He takes the funniest he takes the funniest stutter, and
Speaker 1: I tried to write it down because the word what
Speaker 1: he's trying to say is no, you said chicken. But
Speaker 1: what it comes out is he goes, no, you chicken again,
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, you can't write that in
Speaker 1: a script. That's just an actor coming up with something funny.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious.
Speaker 3: He's been around for years. He's that character actor guy
Speaker 3: who just pops up and he slays every time you
Speaker 3: see him. He's got such a dry sense of humor
Speaker 3: that is innately watchable.
Speaker 1: There is this there is this type of really funny actor.
Speaker 1: They're often called character actors that like Fred that can
Speaker 1: that and Bill would hire lots of them on the
Speaker 1: show over the years, and he jokingly would call him
Speaker 1: his assassins. And Bob Pundennen is another one. And they
Speaker 1: would just come on and they would have like a
Speaker 1: few lines, but everything they said was was and uh.
Speaker 1: And I just want to say to Fred and anyone
Speaker 1: who knows Fred, every single thing you said on this
Speaker 1: episode made us laugh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he came back to later on, not you know,
Speaker 2: seasons later. Actually I thought he would be somebody who
Speaker 2: would come back into the hospital over and over again.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, when this was, when this episode was done,
Speaker 1: I remember telling Bill like, you got to have that
Speaker 1: guy back, you got to have him. Yeah, he should
Speaker 1: be a regular. He's hilarious.
Speaker 3: He was really funny. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: On the treadmill. Yeah, oh god, one, you look great.
Speaker 2: You got that young you got that young body where
Speaker 2: the shoulders haven't really caught up yet. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean where they're like huge, your shoulders.
Speaker 1: Like so high and everything.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. When you're like a baby,
Speaker 2: you know what you're talking about. You start growing lats
Speaker 2: and ship Anyway, Uh, when making that the fall, was
Speaker 2: that you? Or was that the same question asking you
Speaker 2: to do it?
Speaker 1: The fall was me? I was.
Speaker 3: I was terrified about this. This was the scene in
Speaker 3: the script that had me the most nervous, and for
Speaker 3: ridiculous reasons, like there is something about watching people run
Speaker 3: on screen that you can look the gate, your gate.
Speaker 3: You can look like an idiot, or you can look okay.
Speaker 3: You know, like if you you see people run on screen,
Speaker 3: you're like, that's a weird run. That's it, and it's
Speaker 3: it's quick and easy to judge. So I was very
Speaker 3: nervous about that. But I also felt that the here
Speaker 3: far be it for me to be a writer. But
Speaker 3: I felt that the scene needed like a button at
Speaker 3: the end. It didn't, It didn't come together quite right.
Speaker 3: And I remember the first time I thought about doing it,
Speaker 3: and in the scene I just halfway through the first take,
Speaker 3: I decided to do it, and everyone flipped out, like
Speaker 3: we didn't even like they're like are you okay? Oh
Speaker 3: my god, what happened?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 3: Can we get a medican here?
Speaker 1: Someone?
Speaker 3: I was like, no, no, no, no, it was a bit.
Speaker 1: It was a bit. Guy. That's pretty courageous of you
Speaker 1: to do a unscheduled, almost proudfall on a treadmill running.
Speaker 3: That's advanced, Scott, Thank you, my friend. Well, I pride
Speaker 3: myself on physical comedy, although I never get to do it.
Speaker 3: My wife sichem at home and my wife is sick
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: But it was.
Speaker 3: It was Unfortunately they liked it after they calmed down
Speaker 3: and I had to do it, you know, seven more times.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, good thing you survived. I liked it because
Speaker 1: you were such a good ying yang for Sarah, because
Speaker 1: you're both sort of goofy and nervous and neurotic, and
Speaker 1: it was just so she's doing all this ridiculous stuff
Speaker 1: and you're seemingly holding it together and then she looks
Speaker 1: away and you trip on the treadmill. I thought that
Speaker 1: was really funny.
Speaker 3: Thanks man.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: You know, finding it's always a hard thing when you
Speaker 3: first come onto a show. Even even though you guys
Speaker 3: were in your first season. This is the twentieth episode,
Speaker 3: so to try to establish a character amongst all these
Speaker 3: other characters is a really hard thing to do. And
Speaker 3: Sarah and I talked about it a bit, and you know,
Speaker 3: I think what we came up with for Sean and
Speaker 3: worked ultimately. You know, he got a little more confident
Speaker 3: as the show went on and his episodes got there.
Speaker 3: But it was fun playing this sort of nervous, neurotic,
Speaker 3: uh somewhat insecure kid. It was really interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're your your character arc throughout the show is
Speaker 2: it's really it's very interesting because you do start off,
Speaker 2: you and Sarah are pretty much the same character. You're
Speaker 2: just the male version of her. And then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you develop this confidence, right, and then you
Speaker 2: lose this confidence all of a sudden when she breaks
Speaker 2: up with you out of nowhere, you know, when you
Speaker 2: grow the beard and.
Speaker 1: And and he for learnedly rides a dolphin.
Speaker 3: They had me doing some strange things, which I hope
Speaker 3: we get to talk about in future episodes. Look at
Speaker 3: where I am inviting myself over.
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, Scott, you are so good for our
Speaker 1: ratings that we are to have you back. I hope
Speaker 1: you'll come back on episodes.
Speaker 3: You have nothing to do with I would love to
Speaker 3: just to make fun of people.
Speaker 1: Know, we're already you're you're, we're already inviting you back
Speaker 1: because we have to talk about SeaWorld.
Speaker 2: Uh and uh oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I would like to say that I know younger support SeaWorld,
Speaker 1: but at the time we were happy to go to
Speaker 1: the Sea World.
Speaker 2: I remember being so pissed off because I couldn't go.
Speaker 2: None of my scenes were at Sea World, not so
Speaker 2: let me run straight. Let me get this straight. Y'all
Speaker 2: are all gone to San Diego to hang out for
Speaker 2: a night in San Diego and ride dolphins and I
Speaker 2: gotta stay back at the mofucking hospital was I was
Speaker 2: so pissed.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. But this was all before we
Speaker 1: all saw the documentary Blackfish.
Speaker 3: And yes, and now we don't. We don't go there anymore.
Speaker 1: Now we we encourage people to not go there anymore.
Speaker 1: But before we were.
Speaker 5: All, before we knew, before we knew, before we were
Speaker 5: animal woke and Scott, you you did get to forlornly
Speaker 5: ride a dolphin, which is one of the coolest things
Speaker 5: anyone could ever do in their career.
Speaker 3: The things that I got to do on this show
Speaker 3: were still some of the highlights of my career. I mean,
Speaker 3: between riding on the dolphin, doing this Betty the seal bit.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember this, but I had
Speaker 3: like a phone call with Sarah and I turned my
Speaker 3: head in this steal turns his head towards me, and
Speaker 3: I look away like it sticks its tongue out of me.
Speaker 3: I got to be like a like damn close to
Speaker 3: a killer whale and a bluga whale, and it was
Speaker 3: a it was a really amazing experience, and I'll never
Speaker 3: forget it.
Speaker 1: Think how sad that whale was, Scott while you were
Speaker 1: acting with it.
Speaker 3: I had no idea. It didn't let on, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna get mail for that one.
Speaker 1: Scott's I had no idea. I did not know.
Speaker 3: I didn't say a damn thing.
Speaker 1: I would have been.
Speaker 3: I would have had his bad Listen.
Speaker 1: We're trying to buy it back with some karma now
Speaker 1: by saying don't support it any longer. So there you go.
Speaker 2: There you go, boy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about let's talk about when he goes.
Speaker 1: I love when he goes what are you eight eleven?
Speaker 4: With?
Speaker 1: With with Hoffner, I go, he goes, what are you
Speaker 1: serving for dinner? The night, and I go, that's that's
Speaker 1: not really my area. He goes, I'd like chicken.
Speaker 2: That guy was great.
Speaker 1: He just chicken, chicken, chicken.
Speaker 3: So I was I don't know where. I don't know
Speaker 3: where in the show that is, But I want to
Speaker 3: talk for a second about you two singing on the
Speaker 3: fire escape. Yeah, which was a I loved it, and
Speaker 3: I loved the musical theater references, and those are something
Speaker 3: that find a home throughout the life of this television show.
Speaker 3: But the smile that you had on your face, Zach,
Speaker 3: we were unable to hide made me rewind it two
Speaker 3: or three times to be like, is he just smiling
Speaker 3: because he's singing?
Speaker 1: Or no, no, no, he can't hold back his laugher Scott,
Speaker 1: I had a Phantom of the opera beach towel hung
Speaker 1: on my wall as a child.
Speaker 3: I'm very aware this was me living my best life.
Speaker 3: It was your Seinfeld moment. Someone your Seinfeld moment, unable
Speaker 3: to hide your smile.
Speaker 1: Someone was paying me well to hold donald and sing
Speaker 1: musical theater to him. I was like, how could life
Speaker 1: get better than this?
Speaker 3: It was fantastic, and I appreciated you not being able
Speaker 3: to contain your Life show.
Speaker 1: Getting a getting a lead in a TV show was
Speaker 1: was enough. Now you're letting me sing a love song
Speaker 1: to Donald on a fire escape. Come on.
Speaker 3: It was great. And by the way, the way you
Speaker 3: guys did the dancing in the hallway, everybody looked professional
Speaker 3: was going far.
Speaker 1: Everyone well, obviously everyone that wasn't the lead was a
Speaker 1: dancer and.
Speaker 2: The best I've ever seen Sarah dance. Also to me to.
Speaker 1: Sarah can dance, Sarah, she can't sing, but she can dance.
Speaker 2: Dude. She was on fire and this ship, dude, like
Speaker 2: I've seen Sarah dance, and Sarah dances like you know,
Speaker 2: Sarah Dan, I'm not gonna do. She knows. Sarah dances
Speaker 2: like she dances.
Speaker 1: Well, she knows her. She has her little thing she does,
Speaker 1: which was agnorable. But she she was doing like full
Speaker 1: on you know, Broadway choreography.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, yes he was. But Rob Mashio, Rob Mascio,
Speaker 2: did you know? I wonder if Rob Maschio ever did
Speaker 2: musical theater. I bet he did. I bet he did.
Speaker 1: We should have a section where we go to Rob.
Speaker 2: This is a Bill Lawrence question.
Speaker 1: No, we should go to Rob. And now we go
Speaker 1: to Rob.
Speaker 3: No, he's like a correspondent.
Speaker 1: Rob. Yeah, going to Rob live. Rob is a very
Speaker 1: successful realtor now at the beach. Scott. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know that. So when you're ready to buy
Speaker 1: your beach house, you better use Rob Mashio.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be ready to buy my beach
Speaker 3: house for a while, well one, but I'll use him
Speaker 3: when I do.
Speaker 1: Yes, I encourage anyone. We always like to give Rob
Speaker 1: shout outs. You can get Rob on cameo and you
Speaker 1: can pay him a nominal fee to send you a
Speaker 1: video where he high fives your friends. So go on
Speaker 1: cameo and hire Rob Mashio. And of course, if you're
Speaker 1: looking for real estate on the West side of Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: we encourage you to hire him.
Speaker 3: I'd like to go on cameo and have him and
Speaker 3: pay him whatever it costs just to watch him run line.
Speaker 1: By the way, Scott, I'm going to I don't know
Speaker 1: what's your birthday, I'm going to send you a cameo
Speaker 1: from Rob.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3: July fifteenth, that's coming on, it's coming up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Hope Rob will give it to me for free, but
Speaker 1: if not, I'm willing no, no, no cameo makes your pay. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna donald. Don't you think we should hire Rob
Speaker 1: to give sent Scott Follio a high five cameo?
Speaker 2: I think that would be the best thing ever. And
Speaker 2: if you have to share it too, you.
Speaker 1: Know you can get Really my brother loves baseball more
Speaker 1: than anything, and they have like old school you know,
Speaker 1: they have sports players. Is that what you call them? Sports?
Speaker 1: Sports players? Sports people? Sure, athletes, Yes, they have athletes, athletes,
Speaker 1: sports players. They have famous sports players and uh and.
Speaker 3: Ball and bad guys.
Speaker 1: But some of them are like I don't know if
Speaker 1: you like Lenny Dykestrong. Don't if you've heard Lenny Dykstraw
Speaker 1: starring lately, but he's you know, he's gotten a little wacky.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about getting Leny Dyster from my
Speaker 1: brother to like send him a message.
Speaker 3: Are you guys on that you do cameo?
Speaker 1: I'm not on there, but I I occasionally scroll it
Speaker 1: because there's some people that I think would be very
Speaker 1: funny to hire for other people. Yeah, and uh, and
Speaker 1: so I've I've thought about it, but uh, like, like
Speaker 1: I saw Olivia Wilde I follow on Instagram and I'm
Speaker 1: friends with her, and she she loved that that documentary Cheer.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw Cheer, yes, but one
Speaker 1: of her friends hired all the kids, all the kids
Speaker 1: from Cheer are on there, hired every single one of
Speaker 1: them to send her birthday messages, and so for her
Speaker 1: feed on her birthday was all the kids from Cheers
Speaker 1: sending your birthday messages. I thought that was that's so cool.
Speaker 3: That's a great idea.
Speaker 1: So there you go, gift, it's a great gift idea.
Speaker 1: There you go, I'm giving. I'm giving Cameo a shout out.
Speaker 1: Although Donald and I are not on there.
Speaker 2: Have you guys, Have you guys ever met anyone that's
Speaker 2: as competitive as these guys are on the show that
Speaker 2: just you know, uh, you are competent. You think I'm competitive?
Speaker 1: No, not in life, but sports wise, you are when
Speaker 1: it comes to when you were in the day.
Speaker 2: When it comes to playing sports against anyone, absolutely, regardless
Speaker 2: of what it is, I want to win your absolutely.
Speaker 2: By wait, I don't know if you know anybody in
Speaker 2: life that's like that, other than Bill Lawrence. I was
Speaker 2: gonna say Bil Laura, but other than Bill Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Hill is the most competitive person I know in real life.
Speaker 2: Where you where it's like, you can't walk, don't walk
Speaker 2: faster than him, He's gonna think it's a race.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is probably why it's in the scripts, because.
Speaker 3: I have a funny Bill Lawrence walking story. We were
Speaker 3: in We took a trip from Probue when we were
Speaker 3: shooting Whiskey Cavalier over to Amsterdam. And if you guys
Speaker 3: have never been there, it's a huge bicycle culture, right,
Speaker 3: Everyone rides bikes around. So we're walking down the sidewalks
Speaker 3: and wherever you wherever you are, you're inundated with these
Speaker 3: bicycle bells ringing constantly telling you to get out of
Speaker 3: the way, and you don't know where they're coming from,
Speaker 3: and you're looking behind you and you're always stepping off
Speaker 3: trying to get out of the way. And we were
Speaker 3: walking down and there was nobody around us. It had
Speaker 3: to be two in the morning. We've just seen a
Speaker 3: raiding concert in Amsterdam.
Speaker 2: Every show episode.
Speaker 3: Shout out my wife was he you know, Bill was like,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go fly to Amsterdam and go see him.
Speaker 3: And he does this song and my wife is like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, yes to sing only you. So of
Speaker 3: course in the middle of this thing, He's like and
Speaker 3: for Marika, only you, and she's like tearing up. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think he's making fun of you.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to sing the song. But we're we're
Speaker 3: walking back to the hotel and there's you know, it's dead,
Speaker 3: it's two in the morning, and there are all these
Speaker 3: bikes parked along. Nobody's riding bikes, but they're all sort
Speaker 3: of chained up along the sidewalk and we're walking. Bill's
Speaker 3: a couple uh steps ahead of me and I ring
Speaker 3: one of these locked up bikes bells. He damn near
Speaker 3: went to his knees.
Speaker 1: He was so afraid.
Speaker 3: He was such a PTSD. I've never seen Bill.
Speaker 2: Like oh God like he he.
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll ever go back to Amsterdam, because.
Speaker 2: All right, we went to Amsterdam together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Donald and I went to Amscham together.
Speaker 2: Oh that was dangerous.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if we can tell any of
Speaker 1: those stories.
Speaker 2: I don't think we can.
Speaker 1: I know they want to hear it. We had some
Speaker 1: good time in Amstam.
Speaker 2: Did you guys have a good time in Amsterdam? It
Speaker 2: was the best, the best, Yeah, I mean it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't like that kind of good time because
Speaker 3: we were sort of was with work people, I know,
Speaker 3: but it was that kind of good time.
Speaker 1: He tried God's let Us and it was delicious.
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, you didn't have one of those what are those?
Speaker 1: What? This was before God's let us? This is before
Speaker 1: God's let Us was legal in California. We were really Yeah,
Speaker 1: they really like it over there, you know.
Speaker 3: Now we had it was a moon pie or there's
Speaker 3: something like that over there that you eat and it
Speaker 3: just wrecks you.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I wish, I mean, I wish I would have known.
Speaker 1: Guys, this is a real show. Now we're not just
Speaker 1: two guys doing this out of their closets. We have
Speaker 1: to go to advertisers. Will be right, We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: We're back. I'm looking at I'm looking at both Scott
Speaker 1: Fully and Donald Faison in their closets. Scott's has to
Speaker 1: continually wave his arm to make his lights go. I
Speaker 1: wish we were recording the video of this, because it
Speaker 1: would be the light.
Speaker 2: We'll start putting them out. We'll start putting one, all right,
Speaker 2: bring them in.
Speaker 1: Joelle and uh Dana just the mic for Donald's Oprah

Speaker 2: Donald, please adjust your mic for the Okay, I'll back

Speaker 2: Donald.
Speaker 1: Here comes Jenny.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Jenny Pulston.
Speaker 1: I think it's Puleston. Is it Puleston?
Speaker 3: Jenny, Yes, that's correct, that's what I said.
Speaker 1: Hi, Jenny, welcome to Fake Doctor's Real Friends. You picked
Speaker 1: a very good day to beyond because we have a
Speaker 1: very funny and handsome guest named Scott Foley. You might
Speaker 1: know him from the show Scandal, Felicity, Whiskey, Fox Trot,
Speaker 1: Scrub Whiskey Cavalier. Hy Jenny, Sorry, Scott, Scott. Scott, Scott,
Speaker 1: do not flirt with Jenny. Okay, this is our God.
Speaker 3: She's there, got all the flags behind her. She looks fantastic.
Speaker 1: Jenny, are you where are you calling in from?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 6: I live in Canberra, Australia. Canberra is the capital city
Speaker 6: of my fine country on.
Speaker 3: The West Coast.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, Scott.
Speaker 1: Scott's showing off that he knows it's on the West Coast.
Speaker 3: I lived in Australia Jenny, I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Wait, when did you live in Australia as a kid.
Speaker 3: I lived in Sydney for four years and snives Sydney.
Speaker 2: Wow is it near?
Speaker 1: Is it near Perth?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay Jesus, but it's near Melbourne.
Speaker 3: No, well, Sydney is near Melbourne closer.
Speaker 1: But no, it's on the west coast of Australia. This
Speaker 1: is so embarrassing. I want I want everyone to know
Speaker 1: that the American public school system spends very little time
Speaker 1: on geography. I think it was like two weeks in
Speaker 1: seventh grade or Australia. Yes, yes, Jenny, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming on the show. Do you have a question for
Speaker 1: any of us? You can ask us anything, ask us anything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just wanted to say I started watching your
Speaker 6: show when I was in my early twenties, like you
Speaker 6: guys were, and it really resonated with me. Then I
Speaker 6: just started my career. I had a mentor you know,
Speaker 6: learning to do things on your own without a safety net.
Speaker 6: And then I watched the series again a few years
Speaker 6: later when I had my children and they were babies
Speaker 6: and I was up at the night, I put it
Speaker 6: on and certain episodes resonated in a different way because
Speaker 6: I a parent and researched every school holidays and there's
Speaker 6: something new that pops up that's, you know, based on
Speaker 6: an experience that I've just had. It just makes me
Speaker 6: think of, you know, something different. So I just wanted
Speaker 6: to know, with your experience of the last twenty years,
Speaker 6: what advice would you give to your younger selves?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Oh man, you mean? I mean?
Speaker 1: I says real people are our characters. Yeah, no people, oh,
Speaker 1: real people.
Speaker 2: While while making the show, I wish I could have
Speaker 2: been more present, you know what I mean. I hate
Speaker 2: to jump in front of you, Scott, but I got
Speaker 2: to get to this right away. Yeah, I was so
Speaker 2: not there. Let's say, when we were making that, I
Speaker 2: was very much worried about being out and about I
Speaker 2: was more interested in what came with what came after
Speaker 2: work than what came with work back when we were
Speaker 2: making Scrubs, and I wish I could have been more
Speaker 2: present at when it came to doing my job back then.
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that I look back and say,
Speaker 2: you know what, I know, I know I had fun,
Speaker 2: and I know I enjoyed myself. I wish I could
Speaker 2: have experienced all of that while making it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my reaction is similar in a sense that you know,
Speaker 1: I think we took it for granted that this would
Speaker 1: happen all the time. That is to say that, you know,
Speaker 1: we've spoken this on other podcasts before, that these really
Speaker 1: special friendships would would be on every job we did.
Speaker 3: And and.
Speaker 1: I think, and we've discussed before, you know how we've
Speaker 1: all gone on and done these other jobs and some
Speaker 1: some are successful, some or not, but still to this day,
Speaker 1: the bond that we all had that comes across on
Speaker 1: the screen. I think it's the reason people really. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons, of course, the writing first and foremost,
Speaker 1: but another reason was that the love that you see
Speaker 1: between these characters was real.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: We're watching people who genuinely cared as much about each
Speaker 1: other in real life as they did as the characters
Speaker 1: did on screen. So I think that I think I
Speaker 1: took that for granted. I was a young actor. This
Speaker 1: is my first big job, and I thought, oh, this
Speaker 1: is what it's always like to be on a set.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves each other, everyone wants to hang out on
Speaker 1: weekends even after we've worked all these days, and oh
Speaker 1: my god, the scripts are always hilarious, and it took
Speaker 1: so many years to be like, oh no, this is
Speaker 1: a diamond in the rough. Not only the writing staff
Speaker 1: that Bill assembled was just the dream team. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've all gone off to be here, usually successful on
Speaker 1: their own right, but but also just the bond that
Speaker 1: that the seven main characters of us had was something
Speaker 1: I haven't really ever seen again, whether I'm an actor
Speaker 1: or a director. It's just it was just so rare.
Speaker 1: So that's what I think too. It's a similar answer
Speaker 1: to Donald.
Speaker 2: Now Scott's been on three, in my opinion, three very
Speaker 2: successful shows. I'm interested to hear how.
Speaker 1: He might not. He might not have an answer related
Speaker 1: to ours, though not to ours.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I'm interested in hearing if it was
Speaker 2: like that for each one of those successes, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, like Felicity, you know.
Speaker 3: I think, just directly answering your question, I think I
Speaker 3: for me, looking back, if I had to do it again,
Speaker 3: I would I would try to relax. I think I
Speaker 3: was holding on really tight. It was very important to me.
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't go to college, I didn't want
Speaker 3: to do anything else. This was my only shot. Really,
Speaker 3: like if I wasn't going to be a working actor,
Speaker 3: be digging holes. You know, I don't know what else
Speaker 3: I'd do, So I was. I was really uptight and
Speaker 3: nervous about making sure I got it right and and
Speaker 3: really focused on work. And I think I h if
Speaker 3: I had to do it again, I'd take a breather
Speaker 3: and be more like Donald, but not not that far.
Speaker 1: Not that far, but you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: we were.
Speaker 3: I was young and wanted to be successful and was
Speaker 3: working towards a goal. But you know, at a certain
Speaker 3: point you got to sort of stop and smell the
Speaker 3: flowers too.
Speaker 1: Did you guys all get along on Scandal?
Speaker 2: We did?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: I was hoping that I was hoping to get some
Speaker 1: clickbait going, here's gotting.
Speaker 3: No, man, I've been I was looking for ever since
Speaker 3: I'd done Scrubs. I was looking for a show that
Speaker 3: had a similar vibe, a similar friendship, not just in
Speaker 3: front of the camera but behind it. And I found
Speaker 3: it on Scandal, and we still keep in touch. I
Speaker 3: get texts where I have a group chain, group text chain,
Speaker 3: I get something multiple things daily. Uh, we vacation together?
Speaker 1: Could I join that?
Speaker 3: Texts Scott, if you have something to offer i'd love
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: You know I have a long history with Tony Goldman
Speaker 1: and I know you do, yes, And I'm I love
Speaker 1: that man a lot. And he directed a movie I
Speaker 1: was in called The Last Kiss, and we've stayed friendly
Speaker 1: over the years, and I just think he's a very
Speaker 1: very special human being. I wish he was the real Press.
Speaker 1: I wish he was the real President.
Speaker 3: I think we all wish someone else was the real
Speaker 3: president right now. Sorry, Jenny, that's not what you're right,
Speaker 3: that's what you're getting.
Speaker 1: You don't have to bring an Australian into our political situation. Jenny,
Speaker 1: Do you have another question for any of us?
Speaker 6: Yes, I do, because I want to look at for
Speaker 6: my fellow Australians. I just want to ask, why do
Speaker 6: you think doctor Cox takes two Jackmans.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a question that's been asked so
Speaker 1: often and we never answered it. I think we're going
Speaker 1: to throw it to Bill. But my theory is that Cox,
Speaker 1: who was such an alpha competitive guy, was jealous because
Speaker 1: at the time Hugh Jackman when we were making the show.
Speaker 1: It was right at the time with Hugh Jackman exploding
Speaker 1: and becoming a megastar who was not just your average megastar.
Speaker 1: He was doing everything. He could see it.
Speaker 2: Everything he could see it.
Speaker 1: He could dance, he could host award shows, he could
Speaker 1: be an action star, he could be a dramatic star.
Speaker 1: He was you know, it was he was everywhere and
Speaker 1: he was doing everything, and everyone liked him. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like you know, a lot of stars become polarizing. He
Speaker 1: wasn't everybody. Everybody loved him.
Speaker 2: This dude could this dude could host the Tony's and
Speaker 2: then stamp somebody up as Wolverine Man.
Speaker 4: It was like it was like just.
Speaker 2: One eight.
Speaker 1: So I think, Jenny, that's my guess is that Cox
Speaker 1: was the character of Cox was jealous of this handsome,
Speaker 1: you know, muscular man who could do anything and everything
Speaker 1: and people just loved him and adored him, and so
Speaker 1: he was jealous of him. But let's ask Bill. That's
Speaker 1: a good ask Bill, Bill. The fans have been asking
Speaker 1: for many years, and now a very nice woman from
Speaker 1: Australia has asked, and we just have to get the answer.
Speaker 1: Why does doctor Cox hate Hugh Jackman so much?
Speaker 7: Look, we love Hugh Jackman. When we were trying to
Speaker 7: come up with who doctor Cox hated, for no reason.
Speaker 7: I think we thought it was important that we came
Speaker 7: up with somebody that everybody loved and that could do everything.
Speaker 7: I mean, who has anything against Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: He's Wolverine.
Speaker 7: You know, he's in action movies.
Speaker 2: He's apparently a lovely guy.
Speaker 7: He's handsome, he's like People Magazine's sexiest person. He can sing,
Speaker 7: he can dance, you know, five six seven eight, slid
Speaker 7: that one in. He starred in the music Man on Broadway,
Speaker 7: and that Peter Allen thing. He's just too damn talented.
Speaker 7: My buddy Scott Foley, is there, Scott torture them, Jenny.
Speaker 2: I hope that worked for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, five six seven eight? No, no, no, no, you
Speaker 1: know what, most people only Bill usually gets the song
Speaker 1: when he says it. But because Scott so darn charming,
Speaker 1: Dan hit the button.
Speaker 2: Again, they couldn't control them.
Speaker 1: Let me control, Let me control my own tiny little universe.
Speaker 2: Please, Jenny, I'm going to give you one more question.
Speaker 1: Third question, Uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: My other question was what was your proudest moment from
Speaker 6: being on the show. You're proud of performance?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I really enjoyed doing the musical theater. Uh,
Speaker 2: the the musical episode I had a lot of fun
Speaker 2: doing that. Growing up, I did a lot of musical theater,
Speaker 2: but not at that scope or that level. And a
Speaker 2: lot of the people that you know, we're in scrubs
Speaker 2: the musical I saw later on in La La Land
Speaker 2: or whatever, and that made me feel really good. Like,
Speaker 2: you know, I danced with some of the some of
Speaker 2: LA's best dancers and stuff like that, and got to
Speaker 2: perform with some of LA's best and you know, as
Speaker 2: you know, anybody comes here to make it in the industry,
Speaker 2: and it felt good to be amongst Hollywood's elite dancers
Speaker 2: and being able to dance with them. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2: I'm very proud that I'm going to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm proud of that episode too, And
Speaker 1: also I'm really proud of you know, it was a
Speaker 1: really underappreciated thing. But we did this sort of Princess
Speaker 1: Briane homage episode that was the fantasies and sort of
Speaker 1: a medieval thing, and it kind of it was I
Speaker 1: believe it was during the Ryer strike season and the
Speaker 1: season ended early and we didn't know if the show
Speaker 1: was coming back, and it was. It was sort of
Speaker 1: presented as the season finale and possibly a series finale,
Speaker 1: because no one knew if we were coming back, and
Speaker 1: so it kind of got treated like, oh, what does
Speaker 1: that have to do with Scrubs or ending the show?
Speaker 1: And but I really am proud of the directing work
Speaker 1: I did on it, and uh, and I think it
Speaker 1: looks really pretty and and it was a huge scale
Speaker 1: for for some scope was huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was big, and we spent a lot of money
Speaker 1: and I think it looked like it and a lot
Speaker 1: of people worked very hard on it. And then it
Speaker 1: sort of got underappreciated because people were like, please tell me,
Speaker 1: that's not the series finale, and I was like, no
Speaker 1: one meant that that was the series finale. But I
Speaker 1: thought that was good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that episode.
Speaker 1: I remember, thank you, thank you, Jenny. All Right, we
Speaker 1: have to to move on, but thank you so much
Speaker 1: for coming on the show, Scott, do you want to
Speaker 1: say anything Jenny? Thank her for coming on.
Speaker 3: I'd like to thank you for coming on the show too, Jenny.
Speaker 3: I hope forgive me for getting into this, but I
Speaker 3: hope everything's everyone's okay now that you guys have those
Speaker 3: terrible fires and we were all sort of thinking about
Speaker 3: you over over on the side of the world. So
Speaker 3: I'm glad you guys are better.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been a big, very difficult year, but yeah,
Speaker 6: we're all getting there.
Speaker 1: Scott's message was nicer than mine, so I would like
Speaker 1: to say that I hope everything's okay.
Speaker 2: Nobody cares.
Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
Speaker 1: That's what we called a callback choke. Everybody, all right?
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jenny, thanks yanks much. Very sweet, very very sweet.
Speaker 2: Yo. J D is a rat. Hold up, let's get
Speaker 2: into this. JD is a little beach. He's a rat.
Speaker 2: He is a rat. D.
Speaker 1: I tell you though, how funny is that fantasy with
Speaker 1: me on Johnny's lap?
Speaker 2: It's very golly.
Speaker 1: But you are a blue hat. He goes, Who's he goes,
Speaker 1: who's my big boy? Hi? Yeah?
Speaker 3: That was great.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. They they show you
Speaker 2: the two the two sides of you know, when something
Speaker 2: bad happens, they show you the two sides. They show
Speaker 2: you the one that runs right to the principle and
Speaker 2: it's like and and cries to the principal. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and he did this. And then they showed the other
Speaker 2: person who runs to the principal and freaking tells the
Speaker 2: principal off John C's character. Cox is the dad that
Speaker 2: goes to the school and beats up the bully for
Speaker 2: fucking with his kid. You know what I mean, twelve
Speaker 2: year old boy fucking with his son. Oh, you're gonna
Speaker 2: touch my son like that? How about this? Go tell
Speaker 2: your dad, don't tell your dad that doctor Cox smack
Speaker 2: the shit out of you. And it goes it goes south.
Speaker 2: But it was very interesting to watch the two dynamics,
Speaker 2: like one guy, one guy is a complete rat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other funny. I didn't even see that.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that interpretation of it. But that's
Speaker 1: smart that that is exactly what happens. It's it's the
Speaker 1: two sides of a coin of how you deal with
Speaker 1: the situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, why.
Speaker 1: Would why would Turk even promise to side with me?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really good doctor. We know that
Speaker 1: he's not gonna go not not It's almost ridiculous that
Speaker 1: he would even say, Yeah, don't worry, ILL back you up.
Speaker 1: He's gonna come in and give his honest analysis.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, I think he was. I think Turk was trusting, Uh,
Speaker 2: the fact that you had done your job and you know,
Speaker 2: you were literally calling him in for a favor. Yo,
Speaker 2: just just tell this dude that he doesn't have anything
Speaker 2: to worry about. And then when Turk looked at it
Speaker 2: like bullshit, wait, hold on, hold on, wait right, you
Speaker 2: gotta you got I look at it like, you know,
Speaker 2: if there's any if there's a slight chance that Turk
Speaker 2: gets the opportunity to operate, he's gonna say, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna operate, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a real thing. Obviously taken
Speaker 1: from Obviously this is all inspired by what we were
Speaker 1: told by real doctors, that the surgeons are more apt
Speaker 1: to be like let's cut him up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get it out, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's do our let's do our thing. And I love
Speaker 1: uh at twelve fifteen when when when the janitor is
Speaker 1: giving my patient advice and he's like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with surgery, and I go, he's a janitor and he goes,
Speaker 1: but he seems confident. Again, the guy did not say
Speaker 1: a sentence, but.
Speaker 2: I didn't laugh out loud at very funny.
Speaker 1: How about Sarah all dolled up for Scott Foley at
Speaker 1: thirteen forty five?
Speaker 3: Beautiful How lucky was I in my stupid big overcoat?
Speaker 3: But your jacket?
Speaker 1: Why was your jacket eleven size is too big?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did you not have a fitting?
Speaker 1: Do you remember it was like that jacket only.
Speaker 3: Three The only thing I could chalk it up to
Speaker 3: was that was just the what people were wearing back then.
Speaker 3: But it seemed really big.
Speaker 2: That was huge, dude, it.
Speaker 3: Was the Harmani baggy look back then.
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you really think it was style
Speaker 1: or just fit wrong? Because you're you're you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be playing this like heart throb and and there there
Speaker 1: you are. I mean, you should be looking like in
Speaker 1: a nice outfit.
Speaker 3: I have to think it's it was style or else someone.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's you know, no less than three people,
Speaker 3: but maybe thirty people on set who should be like, hey,
Speaker 3: he looks really stupid in that.
Speaker 1: And it must have been it must have been the style.
Speaker 2: The style. It had to be style, because that jacket
Speaker 2: would it came down to your knees almost, and it was.
Speaker 3: Huge, and it was like a doctor's smock. She's a monster,
Speaker 3: just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought Sarah looked U beautiful moment.
Speaker 2: And then I think she looked beautiful even after her.
Speaker 1: I know, even with Huke. And it was so funny.
Speaker 1: She's covered with little puke and blood and poop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, they did a really good job with her.
Speaker 2: And that was it was.
Speaker 1: And then you remember filming, you guys, you guys get
Speaker 1: into that really funny, awkward poop conversation. They cut, they
Speaker 1: cut to Judy. It's so funny because you guys are
Speaker 1: awkwardly flirting about poop and you cut the Judy's dead
Speaker 1: pan face. Well, you know.
Speaker 3: And then right after that there's a there's a great
Speaker 3: moment where the nurse has like, you know, uh, Sarah
Speaker 3: and Judy you're talking. You know, I don't think anybody noticed.
Speaker 3: It's not a big deal. And then one of the
Speaker 3: nurses walk by and says, hey, poopy, which I thought
Speaker 3: was just hilarious.
Speaker 1: Helma. Yes, I'm really I'm really noticing it all these
Speaker 1: years later that many of Aloma's lines are moving. She's
Speaker 1: always walking away, the always on the move, Hey poopy.
Speaker 3: That we slaugh her into someone else's shot.
Speaker 2: But that was very funny to you. Your whole conversation
Speaker 2: on how you took a poop not here but not
Speaker 2: here before, but before earlier I was down there.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, we we we delve into their
Speaker 3: relationship for in other episodes, but I think that's really
Speaker 3: the foundation for them. You know, poop is the foundation.
Speaker 3: It's a house built on poop.
Speaker 2: It well, you know, the relationship didn't last long, and
Speaker 2: we know poop is not a problet.
Speaker 3: Founder depends on what your head.
Speaker 1: They should not have built their house on a foundation
Speaker 1: of poop. What about in fourteen twenty when the jentleman goes, look,
Speaker 1: I'm just a joender. I don't know, but I know this.
Speaker 2: You need surgery. How did he get in that room?
Speaker 2: How he.
Speaker 3: Was that the was that the beginning of the speech
Speaker 3: where at the end of it he grabs a newspaper
Speaker 3: and goes back into the toilet.
Speaker 2: Uh no, that's a different that's that was geez.
Speaker 1: That's before he starts going like, that's the that's the
Speaker 1: mast moment with my patient. But then yeah, then we
Speaker 1: cut around to him going to all of my patients
Speaker 1: around the entire hospital, telling them they all need surgery.
Speaker 2: You have that.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious and Neil's so funny.
Speaker 2: That I'm having surgery right now.
Speaker 1: Oh that was that was great. I'm having surgery and
Speaker 1: I'm loving it.
Speaker 2: And I'm loving it.
Speaker 3: It's a bizarre infomercial, man.
Speaker 1: And then Donald, what do you say, Let's get you
Speaker 1: out of your skin, skin, Let's cut you out to
Speaker 1: your skin. I'm having that. Girl did a great job.
Speaker 1: I'm having surgery right now and loving it.
Speaker 3: You know, the writers always have always done a good
Speaker 3: job on this show of finding really subtle gender specific
Speaker 3: moments that there's something that and I think Bill takes
Speaker 3: a lot of it from Christa. You know, there's moments
Speaker 3: where he's like, there was a character at one point
Speaker 3: in the show. I don't remember what season it was,
Speaker 3: but a woman talks about chewing on her thumbnail until
Speaker 3: it bleeds at the side of her thumbtail bleeds, which
Speaker 3: is a very specific sort of woman thing. And there
Speaker 3: was a moment in here where Judy says, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not sure there's a cat heaven, like I
Speaker 3: don't tell Church. I sometimes cried becase I'm not sure
Speaker 3: there's a cat heaven. Like I thought that was a genius,
Speaker 3: really subtle gender specific moment, really spirit of.
Speaker 1: What you're saying, Scott. Then they cut to Sarah, and
Speaker 1: the look on her face is like, there's no cat heaven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you mean there's no cat heaven. It's a
Speaker 1: really really it's a really subtle moment, but they cut
Speaker 1: to Sarah's face as though she's just heard, like for
Speaker 1: the first time there's no cat heaven, like she's just
Speaker 1: had Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: Room for her.
Speaker 3: I thought it was great, man, I thought it was
Speaker 3: really smart, and Judi delivered it beautifully. The amount of
Speaker 3: times I'll run into my wife and be like, Hey,
Speaker 3: why are you crying, She's like, never mind, and you
Speaker 3: know it's because she's not sure if there's a cat
Speaker 3: Heaven's something ridiculous like that.
Speaker 1: At seventeen twenty one, Sarah bumps into Colonel Doctor and
Speaker 1: I just was exciting because you know, Colonel Doctor didn't
Speaker 1: always get a lot of foreground time, but he got
Speaker 1: a little foreground moment Coleman's law, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't even see that. That went completely over my head.
Speaker 2: I missed that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's even in the Scrubs wiki, and I love
Speaker 1: about We call him Colonel Doctor because that's what we
Speaker 1: thought his name was, but because it's eventually revealed that
Speaker 1: his name is Coleman's Law. It says in the Scrubs Wiki,
Speaker 1: like Sarah bumps into Coleman's Law the Scrubs Wiggy, the
Speaker 1: Scrubs Wiggie is so is so accurate that they call
Speaker 1: Colonel doctor coleman slaws law.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: At twenty thirty five, the patient in bed is Richard Wells. Yes,
Speaker 1: was our are very he was our best first AD, first.
Speaker 2: AD and UPM. Also he went on to be r
Speaker 2: U p M later on when Scott Harris and uh,
Speaker 2: that's right, Franklin got better to we.
Speaker 1: Should say for those for those of you who don't know,
Speaker 1: a first ad, a first assistant director is the man
Speaker 1: or woman who was sort of running the set making
Speaker 1: sort of the one calling out saying, okay, here we go,
Speaker 1: we gotta move. Really you think of that in theater
Speaker 1: like the stage manager, but keeping everyone moving along uh
Speaker 1: and uh, and sort of the team leader. So the
Speaker 1: director can ideally focus on the creative aspects of things.
Speaker 2: Well, the first idea is usually the bad guy. Let's
Speaker 2: just put it that way. The first idea is the
Speaker 2: one that you come to with all the problems. You
Speaker 2: don't necessarily go back torect Yes, well.
Speaker 1: Richard Wells was so great at his job and one
Speaker 1: of the best first ads I've ever worked with. And
Speaker 1: and I forgot that he did a cameo and here
Speaker 1: he is as one of my patients that finally finally
Speaker 1: says he'll he'll go the medical route, solely because the
Speaker 1: janitor has told him so at the end of the episode.
Speaker 2: Also, also, Richard Wells directed a few episodes of Scrubs. Also, uh,
Speaker 2: he did a lot on the show. He wasn't just
Speaker 2: the ad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he became I was bummed though when he
Speaker 1: when he decided to become the UPM and he was
Speaker 1: no longer on set because.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question, Yes, what is a UPM?
Speaker 1: A UPM is a production manager unit production manager, handling
Speaker 1: the organization of everything the un up If you need
Speaker 1: a crane, the UPM is the one often calling the
Speaker 1: rental house and saying, we need a crane on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Who's bringing it? Timmy and John the line producer kind
Speaker 1: of underneath the line producer, organizing anything and everything that
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of a production. Scott, you switched
Speaker 1: to eating, I see.
Speaker 3: Well, I switched to my damn things running out of
Speaker 3: batteries and I can't hear a fucking thing now. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's my anniversary. So my wife made me these things,
Speaker 3: and I got to eat him before I come out
Speaker 3: of my closet, unless she's gonna say, like, why didn't
Speaker 3: you eat the cookie I made you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 1: How many years?
Speaker 2: How many? Thanks so much? Thirteen years? Oh my good,
Speaker 2: thirteen years. Wow? Yeah, wow, yeah, sorry, that's great.
Speaker 3: And I was excited. You know, I thought I could
Speaker 3: just listen to your explanation of line producer versus UPM
Speaker 3: and no one would notice.
Speaker 1: But I forgot that. I'm sure everyone tuned out when
Speaker 1: I started describing a UPM. All right, listen, we did
Speaker 1: it as uh as Howard Stern says, we've said it all.
Speaker 1: This has been really fun, Scott, did you have a
Speaker 1: good time?
Speaker 3: I loved being here. I love seeing your faces.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, we haven't. We haven't had the chance to
Speaker 3: see too many people recently, so it meant a lot
Speaker 3: to me, and it uh, it has meant a lot
Speaker 3: to me to be a bit a part of this,
Speaker 3: have been a part of this show. I look back
Speaker 3: fondly on it and consider both of you good friends
Speaker 3: of mine, so I appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 1: Well, we miss you, dude.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, Yeah, I miss you, man, I
Speaker 2: I uh, I gotta tell you. You know, we talk
Speaker 2: about it all the time. I ran in the chip
Speaker 2: at vote voting, Uh, Jeff bur Yeah and uh and
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, we gotta we gotta get
Speaker 2: together again. And this was I thought. This was back
Speaker 2: when we thought this pandemic would last about a month
Speaker 2: and a half. And it's uh. You know, I'd love
Speaker 2: to get out and play golf with you again once
Speaker 2: this is all said and done.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll find the time watch. I'd love to watch
Speaker 1: you defeat Bill and tennis if possible.
Speaker 3: Well, if we'll find out when he's injured, and then
Speaker 3: we'll go out and play.
Speaker 1: Because I can't because I can't beat Bill in any sports.
Speaker 1: I often try and find people that can beat him
Speaker 1: so I can just watch.
Speaker 3: Game. Hey, you know, I wanted to talk about and
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember this before we go.
Speaker 3: You know, Donald and I have had the chance to
Speaker 3: work together, not just on a bunch of things, but
Speaker 3: you and I aside from scrubs, and this is something
Speaker 3: I regret very much after doing I don't know what, however,
Speaker 3: meant two or three episodes in the first season. You
Speaker 3: wrote a short film about robots.
Speaker 1: Maybe probably I love robots.
Speaker 3: And you sent me the script and I was busy
Speaker 3: doing something else so I couldn't do it. But I've
Speaker 3: always regretted not being able to work with you as
Speaker 3: a director on something you wrote, and that was that.
Speaker 3: There's still something I look back on. I totally remember it.
Speaker 1: It was a I can't believe remember that. I vaguely
Speaker 1: remember it too. I was trying to start directing things
Speaker 1: because I had gone to film school and I was
Speaker 1: and I was doing scrubs and it was so amazing.
Speaker 1: But of course in my mind as a as a
Speaker 1: young go getter, was thinking I got to start making stuff.
Speaker 1: And I wrote that a wacky short, and I asked
Speaker 1: you to be in it. But thank you for almost
Speaker 1: saying yes. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I absolute would have said yes if I wasn't able to.
Speaker 3: But I look, I love both you guys, and we'll
Speaker 3: hopefully work with you until we die on different things.
Speaker 1: I mean a really cool short film recently Scott that
Speaker 1: you should check out. It's called In the Time It
Speaker 1: Takes to get there, and I guess I've taken this
Speaker 1: opportunity to give a shout out to that short. So
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, check it out.
Speaker 3: It's got in the time it takes to get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got Alicia Silverstone, Donald's old co star, and
Speaker 1: it's got Florence Pugh, the very exciting young actress Oscar nominee,
Speaker 1: and it's really good and it's on YouTube and you
Speaker 1: can go watch it. It was Adobe had this contest
Speaker 1: where people college kids could design a movie poster, and
Speaker 1: the winning movie poster design using photoshop. The prize was
Speaker 1: that I would write and direct a short film inspired
Speaker 1: by the movie poster.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, you know, I saw an article about that.
Speaker 3: Anytime I see you guys names in any sort of press,
Speaker 3: I check it out. And I saw an article about this,
Speaker 3: so I will definitely check it.
Speaker 1: Check it out. I recently wont a webbye for it,
Speaker 1: which is a which is a cool web award. But
Speaker 1: check it out. Nobody cares, Zach, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Anybody could see Donald's face when he says that right now?
Speaker 3: I wish if he was his hands on his head.
Speaker 1: I wish everyone could see my face right now. Because
Speaker 1: I've successfully to feel sad.
Speaker 3: You're not, but you look like you're sitting underneath.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want you to know that I
Speaker 1: knew everybody listening would be like, oh, I can't wait
Speaker 1: for him to say nobody cares Sean. I'm the only
Speaker 1: one in this You've said it multiple times, Donald Has,
Speaker 1: I'm the only one who never said those nobody cares
Speaker 1: Zach Well.
Speaker 3: The problem is you said them to begin with, and
Speaker 3: not a day goes by where someone either personally or
Speaker 3: on social media doesn't comment or say nobody. I mean
Speaker 3: I could say happy birthday to my lovely wife of
Speaker 3: thirteen years or happy anniversary of thirteen years, and I'll
Speaker 3: get six nobody cares Sean's well, and it makes me
Speaker 3: equally happy and fucking irate.
Speaker 1: All Right, I get it, man. Well, listen, we we
Speaker 1: got Bill was saying five six seven eight on this podcast,
Speaker 1: and I post something on on Instagram and every other
Speaker 1: comment is five to six seven eight.
