You know, I'm thinking about putting my sort of girl pop workout list on on on the web so people can do that shit. Yeah. do that shit. Yeah because ITunes needs that. Yeah, people listen, I can never find a workout playlist that suits my needs. Right. A lot of people clearly agree with you on rap and hip hop because if you go on like the standard playlists on iTunes or wherever, They're all like ninety five percent that And and like hits one is all like stuff I don't listen to L Wool tank Do you don't listen to the wool tank I don't listen to No, I don't listen to Wot Tang. Do you know who but you know who Method Man is? Yeah, of course. he was in Garden state. That's right. That's right, But you know he's in you do know that he is in a band With about twelve people call what Wu Tang clan. Can you name other Wu Tang members? There's Wu, there's Tang, there's clan I'm going say some names and you're gonna to be like, Ohh yeah, I've heard them. Of course It's a dirty bastard. Of course. I've heard of him. He was he was he died, right? Yes, he did. Okay. Theiza Yeah I'veard Br I can picture him The Bism He hung out with him one night. Can you spell it R ZA. I know that. Yeah, we hung out at Chateau, He came through and with us that night, we were hang, You're not supposed to talk about Chateau on this actually. So let me take that back Wh Well, you know what happens at the chateau is supposed to stay at the chateau, right? Yeah you can't be dropping chateau things. I hung out with Drake at the chateau once. You see, look at you, spilling the beans. Okay, go ahead, Wh else? Rizza U O right. Method man. Method manan Ghost face, killer. Yeah. I've heard of him. I can't picture his face. I can't picture go You God. I don't know you God The jizzer I don't know the jizzer. That's the genius U Inspector Dck. There you go. Wow there's a big band. a lot of people in this band a lot of people Oh yeah, it's a huge band You really like their music a lot. Are you kidding me? I smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Fraasier, the hell raiser, Rising hell with the flavor, terrorizing jams like troops in Pakistan, swinging through your town like your neighborhood spied a man so Tik Tok, keep ticking. Come on now. You don't know nothing about the Wu tang? Okay name Yo ME T H O D man ME T H O D man. Hey, you get off my cloud. You don't know me and you don't know my style You don't notice? No, I have a question though. When you have a big like rap supergroup like that, are there they all Dirty Baby I got your money. Don't you worry? I said, Hey, I know that song. Yeah. That's Be before you go into another song, I have a question. Do they all take turns like I'm gonna rap now. All right, now you're up, you rap now. that kind of thing, like like like they take turns. Well, some of them have like a connection. so You remember run DMC growing up? Yeah right? Yes, yes, yes. The addidas Myay addita's right Those two had a connection. so when they They could when they rhme they could bounce off of each other. Some people, it's like you and I how we have a good how we have good chemistry Same thing with rappers, right And you look for when you're a rapper, you look for that person that you have chemistry. Drake and Future have really good chemistry together. So they do a lot of records together. Right And so it's the same thing. You know, in in the Wu tang because it was so big, the woo was so big. There are little tiny groups with inside Oh there subgroups within the woo. Right. So Ghost face and Ghost face and Ray Kuana chehef. That's the one I forgot to mention. I should have put Ray Kuana. He got the best he got probably the best Bill for Cuban Lynx is probably the best Wu Tang record In my opinion, It's got so many good songs on it. Anyway. Ghostface and Ray Kuan do very well together and on record they bounce off of each other really well. sorry They and Now who's your favorite if you had to pick one member of the Wu Tang clan that's like your favorite rapper in the group The Jizzer The genius I like him a lot. I liked ODB a lot I like I like meth Method Man. I like I like all of you to be honest. Are they still are they still like ghost face gu somebody still on my life when when the world's normal do they still tour? I hope so It's a lot of egos, man. It's a lot of them, man. How do you do that? How do you That's like look, the Jackson five couldn't stay together and they were brothers. How do you with me when we go on When we go on the road eventually touring this show, I feel like your ego is going to soar like an eagle out of control. It depends on if they you're going want you're going to have demands You're going to have in your writer, there's going to be all sorts of rules, no eye contact. It all depends on how loud they applaud for me. If they applaud for you louder than they applaud for me. I feel like I' fall into a little, you know, I'll back into a little We're going Dan like little baby. applaud for me more than they applaud for you. You damn right, man. I want my bus to be bigger. Yeah. We're going to measure We're going to have the same bus. Listen, when Dan we're going to bring Dan and Joelle and Dan's going to bring his thunderous applause button So we'll be able to augment whatever the crowd does, we'll be able to augment. The audience, you ever look at an award show and and you hear the applause on an award show and then you look around and no one's clapping. Yeah. like like like no one in an award show is paying attention. So they'd there'd be like a third of them clapping. So they just augment all this thunderous applause. Well, that's going to be what Dan is doing for us When we're on tour with the show. So before we before we start the show, Yeah, Dan will be like, all right, so I need some thunderous applause from you guys. Okay, everybody. And now I need some laughter. N some laughter. No, no, no, no. And he' kick iting the track. No no, bro. He's just gonna to bring it. It'll be it'll be it'll be a button. Well he, yeah, he's going be he's going bring it. Dan always brings it. Yeah, Dan's going to bring it, dude He's gonna bring it. Of course he brings it. We're gonna talk about L When we go talk applause. I think we're probably gonna play arenas and and we're gonna And we're going to need to do sound checks at these arenas. If we play arenas, imagine that imagine we go to London Yeah. What's the bigger two the O two The O two and we play the O two Yeah. That would be the best day of my life. Let me tell you something right now. London Make it happen. Listen. makeake it happen. Let's put it out there, like I'm secret that sh Listen I'm sure with I'm sure we're going to be playing like four hundred se theaters, But in reality, let's secret it that we sell out the O two Arena for fake Doctors real friends. That would be the best That would be the best night of my life. Listen got to put shit out there. gott to put outrageous shit out there and make it come true. Remember I told you about the whiteboard. You get a whiteboard And you write the most outrageous shit you want to have happen in your life It look at it every single day. Who' you say did that Well, I have a lot of people in my life who told me to this, but the the anecdote I referenced on the show was I'm friends with John Legends manager. And our name is Ty and they went to a high school together. And she said when he first started They got a big whiteboard and they were putting them out. they were like, let's be outrageous. like I don't know, cover of Time magazine, like this many Grammys. They were like sitting there laughing about the outrageous shit they were putting on this whiteboard. And she turned to me and she said, everyvery single thing on that whiteboard happened And and she said now I do whiteboards with all my clients and like, you know, So anyway, it's about manifesting. It's about making shit happen. I have a whiteboard in my bedroom And I'll some things on there are like goals I have and some things on there are like outrageous. I mean, obviously we're not going to sell it O Trina, but I'm saying you can you can No put that shit on the board. It could happen. It happened for John Legend, man. The dude got egot He got the e gotot. Let's make it happen, dude. Well, maybe we have to bring John Legend if it was like if we open for John Legend. Let's do it let's call Jon Legend. Yeah, man, listen, the guy's got an egot. okay. So put your egot on your board I believe in it because you look at the board every day and even in your subconscious brain Your mind is going, I'm gonna find a way to work on that today. I'm going to make that call' I'm afraid to make. I'm gonna, you know, some for some people, it's fitness. They're like, you know what? I just looked at that whiteboard and I gott to get on the treadmill today. I promise myself That's what's know. I like I'm going to put the whiteboard in my in my bedroom getet a white shair it with Kasey in and be like, baby, let's put the most outrageous on this board. I'm telling you, listeners, this is I you know, Bernnee Brown very popular. This is our Bernee Brown moment. This is our self help motivational moment on fake Doctor's real friends. You can make anything happen. Okay, dude this I love this. I love you. I love that we did this together. the four of us. and our listeners Yeah. What you make that shit happen? Let's do are you wearing's this? I have a sweatsht on today because myife of those Bieber things? No, it's Mickey Mouse You know, my forty something crisis is is being managed by just getting lots of tattoos. Nice. goodood for you, man. I was always afraid to get tattoos because my father hated them and When my sister died, I got her name in Hebrew on my arm and my father kind of like was okay with that because it was, you know, meaningful and it was Hebrew. and then When he passed away, like I realized that so much even though I was in my forties, I still was so nervous about what my father would think And then I was like, All right, it's time to fucking tattoo the shit out of myself. Right on. So you're gonna have a sleve soon I know about to sleeve, But where do you want your face when I get it? I was thinking my left areola I was thinking your face for sure. mean What if I did you want my paralis major and then listen, and then your mouth was open But then in your mouth was my left areola Weird. That's weird. I'd prefer you just got my face on your face. Like you took my face and tattooed it on your face. He just had a whole episode about this though. No, I didn't say on his whole face, like my face on his cheek. Yeah I don't. I a second. I don't know a second. Iify his black face if Is face on my face Joelle for your face. Oh life. Can you imagine you All you can think of is him painting my face. On his face. it wouldn't be a face offft txt, but like a tattoo for him, manight. No, it would be an outlaw Joelle. Joelle, It would be an outla. Joelle's like now managing all of our black face issues. She's like, guys Sounding like that might be blackfood. Hey guys, I got the chime in here. That sounds like it might be blackface. Noell it would be an outline. It wouldn't be like colored in. it would be an outline of Donald's face. Well, I would just want it on your cheek or on your forehead. You know By the way, the guy tattoos me told me that We were talking about all these young kids that are getting tattoos on their face and how ridiculous it is. And he said that he's really surprised that any of these artists are doing it because there's sort of this unwritten code amongst tattoo artists that you would never put a tattoo on a young person's face Right And and because for obvious reasons And he said and now that there's this a fad of it happening, he thinks that they're all just doing it for Instagram fame because these kids are often, you know, famous people And they they're doing it saying, fuck it, I'm going to get my fifteen minutes of fame. But you know, I see get these young people that are all tattooing the share of their faces. Dude, you might not be able to get the money later. You know what I mean? get the money now if you can. That's that's the that's the yolo, man. you only live once. you know, you would tattoo a child's face, Donald. I'm not first of all, I am not a tattoo artist, so I'll never have to put myself in this situation. you just told these secondys to Yolo and tattoo someone's face. I'm saying the reasoning behind it is this Dude, do you don't listen, if scrubs didn't happen don't know what you would have done to make them to make ends meet if you're acting if you're acting and directing stuff You know what I mean? You could have gone into a business that you might not be proud of. You might be but you might be Instagram model right now. gas in the air and thought I knowking about you know your followers. I love how these girs, the Instagram influenceced people, they took like a little time off for COVID and the Black Lives Matter movement and now they're all back. fucking Tush is in the air selling tea on some yacht in Abiza Oh my God. Yolo. Nobody says Yolo anymore. What do they say these days? I don't know. TikTok dancing I've been inside so long, I have no idea what the kids are saying. Well, they're all on some old guy's yacht doing a TikTok dance. But you know what They must have put that shit on a whiteboard. And that was on the whiteboard. Imagine that's the whiteboard. I you want to be. That's their fucking whiteboard. I want to be on a yacht haaving somebody pay for it Making that Instagram money That's what's up That's was right Okay There it is Go for yours. Listen, that's what I say to everybody and anybody out there who has dreams and they want fame As long as you don't disrespect nobody or hurt nobody, go for yours, manen Yeah, but if you can, try and go for something that's contributes to society in some meaningful way. Sure, you could find yourself later on. You got everybody has something to say. I miss you so much at hurt. I miss you so much more, dude. Should we get into the show, Tom Cabana's here today?

I'm like you know more you know more than me. And I'm not exaggerating. I'm not trying to play dumb. I'm like I understand by listening to you that you have a better grasp of the whole thing than I do. I feel like As you guys know when you do a long running television show, if there needs to be another Wells, there can be another Wells. That's what's up I thought they were going Yeahah, absolutely. here's the thing All right, can you ex me Don? First of all, catch your breath. Calm down You're embarrassing in front of our guest.

Now for those of you don't know, Tom is on the flash and as I understand it, with these CW superhero shows, you bounce around to the other shows in the same universe, right And's they're all under the Greg Berlaney umbrella I'm guess. Yes, the golden boy of Hollywood used to be Bill Lawrence is now Greg Berlante. and has he has four hundred shows on the air. Yeah. he's an empire. By the way, my very first job, Tom Kavvin, Well, first lead in the movie was Broken Hearts Club, Greg Berlaney first movie That's tremendous.

I say, those are free That sounds great I feel like it's a miss. Why did that never fucking happen? No know I know I feel like now I've done this and I know that Dahal wants to be on board. I feel like now it's just now now you're forcing his hand because you're putting it out to the public and I' going to has to hire you. I We were talking about whiteboards and putting manifesting your destination on onto whiteboards. This is on my whiteboard. I'm putting it on there right now I want to call Berlanny and I had to call him about something else, but I want to call Berlanny and say, listen, Tom said I could be on the show. Yeah ye.

He wears a red suit and I play the arch ennemy, the reverse flash, Iv Vrthan, I wear a yellow suit and that's kind of it. Are you doing lots of stunts and fighting Yeah, can you imagine? It's crazy. You know that bucket list that you have as as an actor and you want to do this theater, you want to do this show, you want to do something like S you want the white board Yeah, the wased we started the show Tom before we came on talking about just manifesting things by putting on a whiteboard and staring at it and. It was weird to be in your gream room and not have the speakers going. I'm like, I wonder what they're talking about. We were talking about you. We were talking about manifesting and then you. Well, that's exactly that's a great that's such a great call. This is one of those things I never would have expected to to do a superhero show. and it's, you know, in terms of a bucket list, it's so fun Yeah Yeah, you guys look like you have a lot of fun on it. And it has no end in sight on your show. It has no end in sight. I mean, I just feel like they the Greg Berandy keeps adding more and more to this to this world, right? I don't know if they're all they all must be successful because they all keep going I honestly, I honestly don't know. I never would have thought I think when they started a number of years ago, they had they done super No, what was the Superman show? Smallville R And then they did arrow and arrow, I think did well. And then, but when we started Fash, you guys You guys all know how it is. We started flash and I said to my wife, well, this will be canceled in seven So I'll go up to Vancouver from New York and we'll shoot and then it'll get canceled because even at that time, I had done two shows for Greg and both of them had, you know been cancellled relatively quickly because that's just how it goes. And so I didn't foresee it You know, I just I never expect it to go and this thing seemed to go and even when you say there's no wind in sight, I still expect that you'll just get the call like, Hey, so B Yeah're done. never for those for those of you not in the entertainment industry, we we just never know. You know, you get you get a show like Srubs and you're like, o ye, this could go six episodes and then it goes nine years. Or you know, or, you know, Donalds did this show and it w a season and I did a show. it went a season. You just have it's every single time it's a roll the dice no matter You know, no matter how many good ingredients there are, you just never know Yeah Yeah, and most of the time the numbers are it's going to get canceled, it's not going to Right, Eespecially now more than ever because You know, it's there's so much content. How the hell does a something find eyeballs? You know? And you're on you're on the classic old school true network You know, you guys do twenty four episodes a season. Do you know what it's like to be able to do something like most I remember I remember I did a show called The exes right after Scrubs,. Of course. Yeah. We did ten episodes a season. That was it For an actor, it's like, wait whoa Hold on I want to be I want to work all year round if I possibly can. It was really weird to work ten episodes and then have all of this time off until you came back and did another ten. Or you would do or we would do thirty and they would just chop it up into episodes. It was like, You never really find you never really find a pace or a footing. It's like well, how will how long are we going? We're only going to do ten twenty two you guys seem to, you know, you live in Canada right now. Yes. Yeah.re you Is it Vancouver where you? Vancouver, Canada, a conifous jewel of the city. Have you guys been? I have. I love that townown. I think it's a beautiful city. I love it there. I was there when the sun was out and it was magnificence. Yes. And then I was told that it's not always like that and I don't know I thought I would like it rainy. It' yeah, it's a question of taste. Like when the sun shines, there's no finer place. I don't mind the rain, but I think if you werere somebody that If didn't like rain and preferred like seasons and snow, then this city would not be for you. but it really it really is a coniferous jewel of a city. And are you mostly on stages and such or do you go out and shoot on locations and such? It's almost follows a pretty regular schedule We do a lot of stage work early in the week and then we do all the stunt stuff you know, it's always, you know, so Thursday Friday nights we're going to be we're going to start it, you know, five PM and we're going to go all night and we're going to like, you know, have the guy run up a building and fight a monster and then like we're going to come back and win. know. So you kind of you kind of, you kind of have to stay in shape for this thing. like you're you're asked to do way more than you expected to do when you started, huh? Right, It's a blessing and a curse You know, because the other thing is too is as you guys know too, like I mean, I'm older than you guys, but there's a There's a thing where when you were a young actor, you could be vain, but you wouldn't really matter because you're probably gonna look fine, you know, and then you get a little bit older and then the people you're acting with, your co actors are twenty eight, twenty nine You know, and they are fantastic. And then there's you, you know, and he looks great in the suit and then you can't really be on the donoughnut diet while you're on the suit so you kind of have keeping in shape, you know? And so it's you hang out with Jesse L. Martin a lot? Jesse is a legend, as you guys know, coming from theater. He's just He's amazing. He's got this thing Sus because he's the captain You know, he can he we he wear a hat and an overcoat. He doesn't have to worry too much about you know like he' just like he's kind of like he runs he basically is the beating heart, you know, runs the show, the center of, you know, reason and u You know, he's he's got a great job and appreciates it So Tom, E when the show Ed, I want to talk about that. When it came out, I was an unemployed actor and my mom called me very, very concerned that I had gotten a lead in a TV show and not told her because she didn't understand why Why I was on billboards all over the country. And Is that true? That's No it is. I mean is true. No, it is. I mean, she she she obviously susked that it was not me, but she was like There is a young man who was on every billboard in town And he looks a lot like you. And I remember thinking, oh, yeah. mom, that's not me. Yeah, I'm still still trying to get some auditions going and. And it was really humbling because I was like that fucking guy who looks exactly like me has a hit show leading role on NBC Now no one's ever going to hire me. byy the way, Dack Shepard, who also looks like usld told me this. He was like when I was when I was, you know, became famous and was all over the place. He was like, well, how is this going to fuck my career? Because I look like that guy and that guy's already working. So anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Ed and tell us, I imagine that was your big break, right? I mean, I know you worked a bunch, but that was your first your own show, right For sure. I mean, first off, Dax and you have done quite well for yourselves. Yeah. It worked out. Soz R Romano guys. Soz R Romano. Yeahes. it worked out. It worked out. It did work out. But yeah, I had done I'm Canadian and I had M to New York City and I think eighty nine to do Broadway. I did like a decade of theater and I absolutely loved it. abbsolutely one hundred percent loved that. And then I had done a small guuest spots for literally for ten years on ABC NBC back then it was like just a four, right? And I done a show called Providence And then but I had no idea of the profile that you guys enjoyed on scrubs because the shows a lot of the shows that I had done when they were television shows or series, I'd done a couple of series in Canada. they were Canadian shows And there's no cross border pollination between the two countries. In other words You'll shoot a show in Canada and you'll do ten episodes that everybody in Canada is watching friends you know So' watching these Wh's watching these Canadian shows? Well, it's different in Canada. There's a federal mandate for these television shows so they do them Um, and some of them are quite good and There's not a there's not a mill. The way there is behind the entertainment industry in the states up in Canada. It doesn't, you know, part of the ethos of the country is like, well, let's not get too big for ourselves then. you know? And so and in the states, it's very much the opposite. L let's see how we can build up and how big we can get and Why that All it. why that ethos is good is that, you know you If you're working as an actor, you're working largely because you love it because a lot of the attention at least back then, now it's different because everything can be found But back then, you know, you were you were doing the same stuff we would do on Scrubs that you'd come to set and there's all the, you know, the crew and there's the people and it's great and you love it. And then you leave S and it's still the exact same experience. It's just that you're not going to Radio City Music hall and doing the upfronts. R You what I mean? And so but it's nice in a strange way because you understand that oh, this is this is what I love to do. And by the time I got And like, you know, fifteen years later, it was I was aware enough that it was that it's still the same experience. And so even though suddenly, like you say, there was like billboards plashed all over the place, I was readily aware that you know, that that was all that can get ripped away and it's semi superficial. And so I think that was a nice little, I don't know what it would be like to Have your face plastered all over the place when you're in your mid twenties. I think would be I think it would be a tough fight. we did we unfortunately, we didn' get a big billboard byy. Right know why the NBC didn't go they certainly went all in. Whoever made the billboard decision for Ed went all in. And by the time scrubs came on, they were like, dude remember a few years ago, we shot our billboard budget on Ed. We have no billboard moneyub Yeah, I'm so sorry about that. but ye that' why that's why you guys didn't get That big what was funny is I remember when when sccrub started how just how much of a splash it made. I'm sure you can remember and it's not lost on you how like big a deal that that was. like that show was So important seeing it at the time. It was bizarre for us because also, you know, we compare it to now, you know the amount of people watching a single TV show just doesn't happen anymore, especially live really even at all, but let alone live when it's airing. So it was a completely different era. That's sure that would watch A our worst, at our worst TV shows now, if they got our worst numbers. Right? Yes. they would be considered hit shows. Yeah Yeah I mean Yeah No cozy Now w, Tom, was Ed written for you or did you audition? No, no, no, no, no, they didn't No, no, that was again, that was NBC they didn't want me at all. L we had to they went through, I think a year of casting known people and Um, you know better humans, you know, and then when you know just so people who aren't in the entertain industry know, they'll often try and get a known star that's right. and and that doesn't always work out forate the reasons. And then they go, okay, well let's start to read people that aren't famous yet. and which is when this is how people like The two of you. Well the two Yeah, I mean, exactly, exactly. It's exactly how both Tom and I got our parts. Exactly. I was like the third, I think the third round or so of doing it. The only reason I have that job I remember how generous you were Bill's fortieth and it we had the party and he was You know, you were like, you were just so gracious about because you're clearly incredibly talented And yet you had the wherewithal to say I owe so much to this guy. And I had the same story. There's a Robertnette and John Beckerman who ran a Late show with Leteman where those are the guys the only reason I got the job is those guys said this is the guy And and, you know, they managed to have enough stock that people would listen to them and without without somebody standing up for you sometimes you just it just doesn't You know, it doesn't go way. Those people are the only reason I got that job. Do you know how many od times you auditioned I know I auditioned once in Los Angeles and you know how it is when you're like, oh, that went well. You feel good about it. But I was also like, okay, it was pilot season and it was like one re during the day. but it felt good. and then then they called me to have the The sessions that they do, they have a studio session and a network session. and it was very it was like and this is I hope this isn't bor I don't mean But they We went and we had to do it. It was at CBS at the time, by the way. I don't know if you guys know that show. that was CBS not NBC and CBS ultimately didn't think so they got picked up by CBS and then CBS never aired the show. and then a year later, NBC picked it up, which is weird. So we said that never happens It never happen Every time you make a pilot, it's always such a bizarre thing, both when I've been in them or when I've directed them. You put so they put so much money in, they put so much work in and then a network chooses what they choose. And then the discards are like they have like the smell of shit on them. No one will touch them. And it's like it's like what someone just spent six million dollars making this pilot. You could look at it and maybeast. Maybe you could recast some things. exactly. You could resoot half of it, whatever. why Hey, it's Jon P president,uess what? we have some big news. What's news? Huge news. We created our own podcast. Oh Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to first people to do podcasts. Pretty Yeahah, pretty wide range of podcasts.arting. But this one's extra special. So how do we how do we actually come up with the name, Hey Jonas, guys I honestly don't remember I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking, I'm originally calling it One of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas. and then I broke down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title. the podcast.

That's a good attitude. You also hear stories from industry legends and hip hop pioneers like Fab fivebe Freddy. I directed when Naz's early vide. Which one One loved.. I literally filmed in his apartment in Queensbridge. His moms was still up in that apartment. Nise was just beginning to take off. His pops used to live near me in Harlem.

Listen to IM Rpeport on the IHart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast throwing it all the away. It's so it's always a bizarre waste of money to me because there's diamonds in the rough that no one is so this situation is very rare that then another networkoogle wait man will take it. I don't know that it ever happened before with CBS, I think fromom what I heard the only reason that that happened was again All right because Roberette and ran the Letterman show, it was because Letterman had such a B He was such a big paycheck, He was such a big entity at the time. That was the only reason I think that that card, if a producer didn't have that card to say, that would probably have never never happened. But when I went into to read, you know, ostensibly the thing was a comedy with heart. And so you know, you know these it's so funny how these things change So I went into to read. I was solid and funny in the room and made them laugh. and then Normally, okay, the job is yours. This is at a network read, but then somebody there's you know, twenty five people in the room and somebody starts going,, but what about this? I don't like this about him. And then that sort of you something. The next thing you know, you had it and then you don't have it.. And I remember Rob and John came out and Rob he had this real serious face and he was like, lookook, So they don't know if you can they don't know if you can do Straight drama So even though it was a comedic scene about a guy finding out that his wife is sleeping with a mailman And u They're like, you just need to do that scene again and throw out all the comedy and play it like, you know, play it like a Shakespeare tragedy I was like Okay. Oh my God. And I went in and did that and you know, J just completely straight as possible. and they were like, o, okay, you can do that too. It's so amazing exact same speech I got pretty much. Really fucked up. Yeah prettyt much when I went they were't saying he fucked up Donal legit fucked up. He didn't say he fucked. No, I didn't fuck up. When I was audition for Scrubs, I got real big and audition because it was a comedic scene and I got real big and animated. And Bill had to come out and be like, dude Tone that shit down. pretty much Yeah Because it's funny, as you know, like I think sometimes an executive hears another executive speak and goes, I better weigh in as well. know, So sudenly they're like,'s big. Yeah,'s stpid. Yeah,'supid,ddenly beces and you're like, Oh, no it's actors only actors who have yet to be in one of these rooms only knew how Oh my gosh. the tight rope you're walking to try and get a fucking roll Yeah do it and how it just it just falls on one person being like I don't know No. Right. What if and then all of a sudden you didn't have the part anymore. And you h the part for a second. Yeah. Right. I've been in a room and watched somebody Destroy it, like kill it Come in and destroy it And then someone else come in and do a really good job, but not destroy it And I saw, well the first person, obviously, and one person in the room was like, well, you know what I'm not sure that they actually look like the part You know what? you're right? They don't necessarily look like the part. And all of this doubt happened and the person that crushed it didid not get the role and the person that just did good got the role because there was getting tense just listening to this. It's crazy dude I was on. I was ones working on something and this girl came in and She was young, you know, she was like a young Jennifer Gardinner type. She was really pretty. She was early twenties and Super expressive and funny and I thought that she should get the part. Another girl came in very, very funny I could have done it too, but I preferred the first girl thought she was better. One of the executives goes regarding the first girl of the young Jennifer Garnner type she goes She's very expressive Should we worry about her wrinkling early Oh wow Now mind you, this is like a twenty early twentyies something you old growirl And she's very pretty And the not only is that the most ludicrous thing you can ever imagine another human being saying, but in your mind, the show is going to go so many years that her her wrinkles that come from her being expressive were going to be a problem. I mean, it was the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard in my whole life. It's appalling It's appalling. The other part of it is actors can act, you know, And so so I don't know how many times you've done a thing and then like, yeah, the feedback is, yeah, we wanted it a little bigger. It's like, say that shit Yeah. You know sayay that shit. Wh I don't want to let me do the whole audit. Listen, man, why did you let me do the whole audition big than if that's the case. Somebody in the room could have said, Hey, you know what I love your choice. You could be diplomatic about it. I love your choice. Listen, can you tone it down a little bit this time? You know what I mean That never happens anymore Dude, I do remember, though back in the day when I was going out for auditions and it would be like somebody who was from the urban or from the streets and stuff like that. and you'd get the can you just spice it up a little do? Oh really? You can. Yeah you add a little something something. canan you put a little sauce on that? No How would they say it? Like what's the worst way someone would say Can you spice it up a little bit? Spice it up a little. And you'd be like, what I had a producer say to me once about a script. She goes, you know She was this old lady. She goes, You know, you could go black with it And I go, okay, yeah, that's that's just there's no reason. She goes, you know They're doing their thing He She did that j. You guys can't see the jesture mean. she sort of rocked back and forth. She goes, You know, they're doing their thing It one of the most awkewarder things I've ever witnessed. I go. Okay. So you want them to do their thing? I got it Oh my goh, should we get it? We have to take a break probably. Yeah, Let's take a break. And then we're gonna get into the episode. All right, we'll be right back with the Tom Kavanaugh. Hey, what up y'all?

One truth remains, The shy is more than a series. It's a legacy. Don't miss the final season of the shy Now streaming on the Paramount Plus Pmium plan We want res no Eberb E. Hey So we always talk about how everybody met Bill and how you came to this show You wound up doing the show for several seasons. Yeah lotots of episodes. You you must have been one of our most recurring guest stars. I don't know that, but I can tell you I was always hugely grateful to get the call. I sort of feel like even being on this podcast is sort of like, I'm sort of like, I was telling your producers, I've sort of like blommed my way on by like, you know that somehow this got put out there. but I also felt that same way about scrubs. like I don't really do scrubs, but I sort of like Piggybacked on the back of their success and I've been basically a parasite this whole time. and I'm so so grateful for it because people loved you on the show, Tom sorry It's funny how No, no, but it's funny like when you like E isn't anywhere, you can't find it anywhere. Most of this a lot of stuff that's harder harder to find. and I would say scrubs is the thing even though You know, you guys were You all you guys did such a great job. and I did nothing. I still get recognized the time from I hear people all the time want to say, Hey, little brother, or they rem this they remember the bathtub episode, they remember this kind of thing. you know, it was like ninety years ago and people are still like it's still resonant. It's on comedy central. It's just like it's lovely to be associated with your success. Well, people really loved you on the show. They really, you know, when Dahl and I talked about having guests on A lot of people As for the Tom Kavanaugh. But but wait a second, sorry, go back to what Donald asked. How did you come about? How did it come about? Did you know Bill? orr was it the obvious that people thought he's on NBC? He looks like Zack, that kind of thing No, I I think I had been friendly with Bill and we weren we weren't friends before. We sort of became friends throughout but we had, you know, at spoken and gotten along Um, and he u He and his wife have always been like quite friendly and generous and stuff. and so I think it must have been him saying, o, okay, I know time I I have a friendly relationship with them. and so this seems like a natural fit because of how how we look. I think you run into people and you're like, I would like to work with this person again. You know what I mean? That happens occasionally. it almost never happens. I think all your intentions are always great And yet you're still trying to have a job and survive. And so it' sometimes it's quite difficult given you know, it's very difficult to repatriate again. So I think I think maybe we got along and then he was like, o, this is this could be a nice little one off, but then it end up being more volume, which is tremendous Be you're really good on the show, man. also, you know, We talk about this all the time in remembering the shows. This is one we talk about it so much that it's become a bingo's one of the bingo questions. like somebody made a bingo sheet and on the bingo sheet it says they'll talk about at some point, you know, if they talk about not remembering the show You get a letter, right And this is one of those moments because I really didn't remember episode that much. I know the first episode I remember you on is when John Ritter passed away and then you out of nowhere was like, Yo, you know what? I'll come in and I'll Wit, was that this one? That's not this one. That's not this one at all That was another significant one that was such a again, you know, I think I don't know if you have because you're there and you have no basis of comparison for you people, you guys were like all all your group was such a welcoming You know it's interesting because once you go through, you know, thirty years of this stuff, it's not always You know, It's not always a group like that, you know? And I obviously don't know all the inside stories and stuff because I would just come in and out. but But being in a place where you felt Welcomed and u encouraged and the idea is that that you guys I can remember laughing so hard at the stuff you guys would do that wasn't in the script, knowing that you would do this stuff verbatim as it was in the script, knowing that you would get your blows, your chances later. And I thought, this is incredible like this this environment. I remember you, Zach doing one of I've seen like u The actor who played Ross Keller, David Schwimmer running into a He had an open laundry And he like hits his head on it and falls over it ' That's one of the the most solid modern day prp falls. And you did one into a glass door that I was like, we were just watching, you know, we were sitting by the monitors. And I was like, I remember thinking this and this is like years ago. I remember thinking this, I could watch him do this all day. Every time you didn't get tired of it, you kept doing it. everyvery time you did it, it was like seemed like better than the last. I wanted to get it right, you know enjoy doing the physical comedy and I would get competitive just with myself wanting to be wanting to make a really good one. and And you know, that was a bit of my that was my sport, if you will, try tryed to be good at it. I remember one time in one of the episodes, you jumped out and I just improvved monster. Yeah And you know, the fun thing about the show as you were just saying was There was such a vibe of just safety that is This is a safe environment Go nuts. do be adventurous. You know, Bill will tell you, you know, obviously do it as written, but he'll tell you if he wants you to bring it down. But I was just watching this your first episode and you were making such bold choices and Right So is tricky which is tricky because, you know, we'd been on the show, we're regulars, We're there all the time. We had we had kind of built up that comfortableness a guest star to come on and be like, all right, I'm going to do a bold character. I'm going to make bold choices. really I was really impressed with you just watching it back because it's one thing if you do it like on your fifth episode. Here you are. this is your first time on set, you're a guest star of a show that's really popular. and you came up with this character which was nothing like your character on Ed Bold and funny But it was probably a lot to do with, like I say, just being around a place where people are like, hey, have fun, enjoy. I think I think it just bears repeating that your show is such a suchuch a place where you know, you welcome people to do that very thing you're talking about. I remember also being so impressed I'm sort of talk on about it, but it just it just seemed like I remember season six coming in and doing something and I remember thinking I remember watching on different shows I'd done how You know people buy into like, well, how what's our place in the universe of television? Like are we popular? Are we you know, are we getting enough attention? And and I think you guys probably had, you know, the MB why don't they promote us, all that kind of stuff. But But I remember coming in on season six and watching you would settle into this thing like, this is us and this is for us and It was such a smart and intelligent way to understand that life is fleeting, this is fleeting. And so let's just all be for this show. And when when you come from a different place and you Come into that It influenced me for the rest of my career to go, this is really what you want. People who are have each other's backs who are for each other, who want to just do this scene right now as best as they can. What more is that Yeah Speaking of doing a scene really well, how fucking funny are you stealing the lab coat and going in to attend to a patient? That shit was hilarious. Yeah. mister lagh. I. Before we do that name is Rles. Before we do that, let's get into this Recap Oh yeah, sorry. So Tom, every episode, Donald will sum it up. He has thirty seconds. I time. Yes I This is great. Okay. so Donald, hold on, getting my stop watch up. He's been crushing it lately. He gotten a little cocky late and ending early, which I don't like. I like you to fill your time now. This might go over. Okay On your mark, get set. JD's brother, Dan comes to visit. He wrecks havoc on all of JadD's relationships JD wishes his brother would just grow up. Turk and Ccks are beefing again. this time because both have good arguments on why their departments are better at saving lives. By the act break, JD and and Turk are ashamed. Turk of himself, JD of his brother. For Turk, it takes a lesson from an unexpected person for him to regain faith that he's doing his job the right way. For JD, it's him learning and understanding That not all people are built the same. Some people are content with who they are. How far did I go over It's thirty six, but you had some fuck ups and I think the audienceces forgive you Geez I thought it was amazing. It's well done. it's well done. I think when you rehear, I don't think you rehearsse this time. Sometimes I No it just freaking We're an hour into the damn show. I expected to do itew you Well three minutes ago. We didn't know that Tom Kavanaugh was going be so interesting. I didn't listen, I knew Tom was going to be this interesting. So you're saying we were gonna to get into the show ear you're saying is that you rehearsed right before we went on the air and now you're rusty. And I was rusty. If you give me another chance, I bet it's better No, I don't want to hear it again. See. Good job. You know what? Well you know what? we'll have Dan speed it up a little bit. No, we can't do No we no, no, no thirty six seconds. D. thirty seconds. Well done though. Well done. Yes, well done. That's the episode to remind Tom, we did this as a service to people who want a brief reminder of what the episode was, Tom Tom comes to visit me. He's been driving a car across the country for three hundred dollars And he has no fear of doctor Cox, which is just mind boggling to me and I'm squirming I'm squirming as he meets Cox for the first time and is fucking with doctor Cox. Yeah, that would be the best day of my life If I went to my brother's job and he had a boss that was bullying him and I could freaking and I know that No matter what he's going to get bullied anyway I'm gonna fuck some shit up, then how about this? Oh wor, you gonna mess with my little brother? Now I'm gonna mess with you Yeah. You I remember a good day at it. I think I remember on the day, Tom, even being nervous in real life that because I was so, you know, Johnny was Johnny and we were versions of our characters. And we would just play that. Now you came in as an alpha fucking with him. And I think I think I recall even on the day being a little uncomfortable. but I think Johnny C didn't like it. And I'm sure didn. I'm sure he didn. Because nobody in that hospital in the real world or or in the world of the show fucked with him. Right. And he had gotten quite comfortable with that. And now here's someone who looks just like me Yeah but that was great. And then so the let's talk about that Rickles moment that was pretty fucking funny. That shit was hilarious. I love the fact that the reason why it's going to happen is because he he it' Bambi and you're like, all right, I don't want you to call me Bamby for the rest of my life. I'll a lab with a lab cat with a lab cat. And he walks in and he goes And you know and and we find out just before he walks in The guy's got to live and that the surgery was everything was a success And the first thing Tom says, Dan says is It was touch and go forch. Yeah Yeah And then he goes got we gota look out for those little rickles. And he goes, name is Rickles. He's like the little Rickles, the kids, their future And then I go o, hey, than you, and you go, Damnit, Bammy. Give me a second, Bamy. I'm busy. T to find a good nurse these days. It's so cel. And shot was really funny by Michael Spiller. when you turn around Yeah I'm always a sucker for the quick turnaround. Yes, of course. Hey, damnit, Bamy G me a second. Yeah, No exactlyamy, I'm busy Hilarious.. And now my nightmare would be My brother coming and flirting with someone that I had feelings for U And let alone also your friend, I mean, This is like always awkward when you Have a friend that's like, I don't know if this guy's ever happened to you where like you broke up with someone and then you see your friend starting to likeash. And you're like, what the fuck? And and I just I felt for JD as you as you and Sarah are walking down the hall and flirting and sh It's like c It's awful. It's so fucking mean. It's awful Yeah it' me mean by the way, it's me on both cars. It's me on It's mean on I mean, you guys have a brother you guys those two characters had a had a brother competition thing, obviously. The fact that Elliot was so willing to just like dive in and be all like giggly, that was so cruel. Yeah, it was mean. It was like,, he's so funny. And he's not really that funny, but he was just being kidd. you're like, ah ye, no, that's okay. You just And then the idea that, wait, this is actually happen this is happening. is happening. You I love the how he realizes it's happening out of nowhere, you turn day to night. Yeah by flicking a switch. fancy That was great. That was great. And then they start totally making out and then they pop back to reality. And then in reality, I yell, stop your stop your stupid laughing. It makes you look like a whore Right. I' be like, kidding, just the worst thing you could say. And then The way I did it was like vomiting it up. Like I couldn't I couldn't hold in the ra any long. You spewed it out. Yeah.. Stop your stupid laughing. it makes you look like a. Goodness, gracious sakees jump cut. Yeah. Yeah That must have been tricky to shoot up. We must have done the first part and then come back. We didight. We did. thenen we came back at night and Sarah had this idea we were both chewing gum to like spit the gum out You know, and then like, you know, have the all the one, two, three, four. whereere you call that chewing gum like throughout the whole scene Or would you both, you know, sometimes when you're an actor you know you're going gonna make out with someone and you want to have fresh minty breath. Was it? Was it I think she I think she no, I think she added gum. later on because there was it' one of two things. One is like you kiss a person then they have the gum that you had in your mouth. Right Not great. orr, you know, pew pew. And I think she we realized we could have a we could double down on the comedy moment by spitting our gum out before the We used to have we used to have Banaka on set not just for I remember. You guys had the you guys had the you also had the the things that melt in your mouth. Oh ye yeah. It does give you heartburn th No I't giveave me heartburn. Yeah. both bothoth Donald and I would have too many and they would give us heartburn But the the old school aerosol sppray Binaka, which is my favorite We started having it just for we had kissing scenes and we didn't want to have bad breath for our scene partner, but then it became like, you know, we were all friends and all up in each other's faces all day long. We were like, let's make a rule everybody. We don't have bad breath. And so we would like just be spraying it nonstop. Dude, I remember it became, how many can you spray in your mouth? and Iray Burn his mouth. like ten under the tongue just for shhits and giggles. That's not eventually our boom operator, Velcrod one to the boom. And and we called it boom knocka. Bom knocka And we'd be like Kevin, boom knocka. And he would just dip the boom down. We'd pull the aerosol off off the mic. I was on Veltro and then then attach it back up That's Gade A right there. That's some yeah. that was we thought he was gonna to do it for like a day as a joke. It was up there for years. Same same canister. Hopefully, hopefully changed out U I like when at five twenty four when when Cox goes, will people please stop calling me! Castle lookks by and goes, Hey, n'b nuts Hey,' nuts. Hey, how's it going? n'b nuts He had another one in there where was like, I don't know if time for pity or something like that. Right when he's talking to Johnny Castle Oh yeah, I wrote that down too.

I remember waiting. waiting in the thing behind the curtain and like thinking of this maybe this one will do this. Like there was we had like five or six different ones. And I think the first one was really terrifying for you. I remember that It's funny, I just put two together that I guess we bought the clear shower curtain that's in the opening of the show, rightight? Because wasn't there a clear shower curtain when you scare me? Yeah, there No, no, isn't the shower curtain that it's opaque when I come out because you don't see me. and then right? And you have It looks like it's clear, I thought. I have a Because you guys have that runner earlier on. Yeah, so we're shopping for a clear shower curtain. and then where is it? It is five thirty two I' just curious because it'd be funny if We happen to Ke the shower Yeah, it's clear Oh Oh goodness. How could it? How can you bought it? We actually bought it There you go. Okay, lookook at that continuity Um yeah. I mean, I got air, dude. You scared the shit out of me and u I mean, in real life, and I think the character, but I obviously had a nice juicy mat behind me 'cause I literally flew up. Yes, yes. It's solid. And once again, Zack Braft. Solid. So Zack Braft's special. It's good stuff. I laugh when Laverne makes her own Halloween candy She says she's dressed the first of all, she's dressed like Raggedy Anne And and there's like this bowl of popcorn and homemade lollipops. and she says something like, if you want name brand stuff Fist is pack with nuts or something. This episode was actually written by Tim Hobertes. I believe Was he with us the first season? or he came in on second season? Tim was not there first season. No, but he's a very funny writer. So this is his first big episode This is his first episode of the season then. Yeah. And also Mike Spiller's back as our director. We like Spiller a lot. This is the first episode in which I read on Scrubs Wiki. This is the first episode that you're ever called Gandhi by doctor Cox That's interesting. Sarah's sister's actually one of the interns in this episode also And Cx', I mean, when Kelso' doing rounds in the beginning, Sarah J. Yes when Kelso pulls he hates the costumes and he pulls some cat ears off and that's Sarah's sister, N not her younger sister obviously, that's your. Yeah,'s her older sister. I noticed the Johnny Castle, playing Doug, he takes off the clown nose and kisses it. And I remember on the day thinking that was so random and funny, but I have no idea why he does it. It's very weird. Do what I'm tal him out? Yeah, no I know exactly. takes the clown Kelsel says, takeake that fucking costume off and he takes the nose off and he looks at it And he gives a little kiss before he fucking, which is just so weird and amazing I don't know why he did it, but yeah The scene between you and Johnny C. when you win the bet is like to me that was just such Classic scrubs because it it's good in and of itself for the comedy is just hilarious. specially when you're celebrating and it kind of goes on, thenen it goes on, then it keeps going on which I personally I love it's funny, then it's sort of maybe not funny. thenen it's really funny because you just keep doing it, you do the backward w. And it's just all the different beats of your comedy there just like had me laughing and I'd forgotten the scene. and then and then there's then there's level where he's likeich is what that's what your show did so well. it's like you have the great comedy and that could just on another show, that would just be enough. And then it's like there's a hammer, a gravitas that still works. that's beautiful. You know ends with you like with a legit serious moment considering this information. It's great. It matter, Joell. You just look like you freak out about something Okay Gina Price Briflood heard a thing I did and I love her. sorry. Okay, let's Wait what happened? I'm sorry. Wait, what happened? I think since you distracted the show, you're gonna have to share what happened. I sorry. Gina Price Blood It is an amazing d actor She direct L love in basketball. And she just has a new movie out on Netflix called o my gosh, The O Gard Yes, Black lady who's been working for a very long time and I love her. She used to write on Felicity, like season one of Felicity she wrote and then she went on to do love. All right But what happened that made your face light up? Because I thought it was Tom's use of the word gravit talk. She Acknowledge my existence sack. I'm so sorry. I get so excited. Oh well, congratulations. What did she say? W she like you're one of the articles you've written or something Yeah, I did a pod talking about the new movie and she was like, this was so great. I was like, Ohh my go. That's lovely. me. Okay. That's always good to be. Don't be apologetic. Don't know that's. Don'tolog. I just want the listeners to know from my point of view Tom said the word gravitage and Juelle's face lit up and she started like doing the hand thing where you might cry And I'm like, wow, Joelle really loves the word gramitas She had better reons to celebrate, Joy. Yeah. betteret reasons to celebrate. I'm glad to hear it wasn't Gravitas rather the old guard plug. That's great. That would be the funniest shit ever.

It's really weird, you know how things change Be everybody did a Michael Jackson impersonation Back in the day, everybody did it. I can't recall the last time I've seen a Michael Jackson impersonation. It's been very, very long time. Now probably if you were doing the show now, you probably wouldn't be doing so many Michael Jacksons. Now I love a growrowing Pain shout out. For those of you who were too young to know, growrowing Paines was a very popular sitcom and starring Kurt Cameron And uh when I when when we all go to lunch, u I say, Oh no, I'm trying to defend Dan.

Summer moves like a great jam session You start with one idea, one direction, and then it shifts, somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it. For me, summer has always been about discovering new sounds, new places, new people, new ideas. You start at one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way Starbucks has been one of those constants, before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into something bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm The summer's got its own soundtrack too, you can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you, that feeling of staying open to whatever's next. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment What you're holding, what you're sipping, the new tropical butterfly refresher from Starbucks ua and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls Co, colorful, clive. feeleels like something made for the day that's still unfolding. And that's the thing. sometimes one small stop changes the whole mood of your day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new tropical butterfly reffresher from Starbucks. Imagine yourself in a vehicle from Hyundai's Bld EV lineup. Perhaps you're commuting to work in an Ionic five, with everything you've been yearning for in your next EV, including tech andfuse safety features like highway driving Assist two and blind spot collision avoidance asssist. Or imagine you're hitting the track in the Ionic five and going zero to sixty miles per hour in a blistering three point two five seconds with N grin Boost engaged.

Don't miss the final season of the shy Now streaming on the Paramount Plus Premium plan We are and no All right, now we're back. Tom, we take a caller here on this show and Joelle curates them. There are zillions of people that email her and try and send her payola and she it's all accepts all the money. She accepts all the money. accepts all the money send is sending money to Joelle it the right way. Yeah. Don't send like send the real deal how we feel It's not your fault if you don't get picked, but money does help But you know, cash is a little crass. you could send baskets. Cash is crass. Cash is crass. I don't know if I' ever said that before but What's a good line. Cash is crass. Cash is crass. Send the woman a wine basket. or or some of God's lettuce she'll take either one OG Kush is preferred. OG Well, who do we today is preferred? For the Tom Kavanaugh who's America's favorite older brother We have ER nurse Christina. Christina Hi Hi Christina. Hello.. Where are you calling from, Christina Houston. Houston in the house Christina, you're an ER nurse, we heard. So that means you're going to get even more respect than the average caller. We give our callers a lot of respect, but an ER nurse gets top respect Thank you What's it like? What what's it like right now? You guys are in Houston. It's It sucks. Yeah. yeah What's the status? I think I had heard that Texas was legitimately running out of ICU beds. Yeah. I mean we tried to ship out a critical patient the other night and couldn't get hospital that could take him in Houston. We tried to li fight them out because we didn't have a specialist for it and could not find a hospital It's tragic. Oh my. It's tragic. My God. And people need to hear from people like you on the front lines because I think a lot of people, you know, as we've talked about on the show, Donald and I lost a friend and I think people like you who were on the front lines, people like us who've lost a loved one, we're seeing him. And Dan was explaining something on the show. I thought that was really that really landed with me that unless you're on the front lines and the seeing it, you can kind of live in this sort of dream world where you You know, you're just, you know, obviously, I know people are suffering they're not working and the kids aren't in school, but it cannot it's a little bit out of sight out of mind. where someone like you who's seeing this every single day, it must be just very, very traumatic for you. We also see what COVID does to people too. R What and and a lot of people that's something that Americans don't see. We don't see The u what's left of people after COVID has ravaged their bodies and ha wrecked havoc on their organs and stuff So u It's just a it's a slab in the face when we're risking our lives and then people are on here saying it's a hoax or that it's a It's just frustrating because we don't have any reason lie it. Right. I know. I know by the way, we see that. by the way we see that I see even our comments on on Instagram. I don't know you saw this, Donald P people were like, U, enough of the mask talk. You're becoming like every other show. And I want to like throw my fucking phone at the wall Because I was like, our friend just died, so there's gonna to be some COVID talk. Wear a fucking mask. R But anyway, we thank you for I just think there's nothing more noble than being a nurse and there's extra cherry on top for doing in the ER because the things you must see And I want to thank y'all real quick for the video that y'all did with Neil Patrick Harris, thanking the health care workers it did not get enough props, but it really meant something. right. Thank you Thank you. Thank you. So let's switch to something more lightince ourur main mission is to make people giggle a bit. Do you have any questions for us about scrubs or anything? Could be about the flash? I don't know. My first question is, what's the craziest thing a fan has asked Joe Oh my gosh Have you ever signed anyone and then they you saw them again and they were like, I turned your signature into a tattoo? Yes, I've had that. And people get tattoos of you, Is that weird? Yeah,' was talking about this yesterday. There's some really weird tattoos of me out there. And also I actually like the ones. someome people have tattooed lines from Garden State that were meaningful to them, a film I wrote. So I that I think is really cool because something I came up with was meant enough to them to put on their body as a as whenever a mantra, if you will. But what I've seen like The weirdest faces I've made on scrubs where I'm like you know, like screaming out of fear like actually in this episode with Tom where I'm like screaming out of fear. and I've seen that on like someone's thigh U Donald I saw a tattoo of you as Turks that looked so dbhing like you. It looked nothing like me. It looked like Charles Barkley You're on my back and it looked like Charles literally now You know, as a kid, I I was a big fan of Charles Barkleay, but it didn't look anything like me. It looked literally like Charles Barkleay. Right The weirdest thing that's ever happened to me, I get a lot of people asking for it. to Eagle Yes, that happens to you a lot because they think you're very strong and they don't I can hold a lot of people up there But it's it's It Donald You do let a lot more people mount you than I would ever Listen. If you are brave enough to ask me I will most likely obllige. Now that most likely. you shouldnnce you knowine said most likely. He said most likely, fine print. That being said, that being. And the fine print Tom is like you must be under a certain amount of weight before trying to go. Please ask all permission. Don't do it in front of his children or his wife We'll bitchlop you Well done The fine print is the fine print truly is like it has to be a special occasion. you can't be out of nowhere like you walk down the street and let's eagle and that's not going to happen. It has to be, you know It has to be something Like if I'm at a conference and it Y, you know what I mean? And they gott to catch you when you're not woozy. Anyway. So that's the one thing that that's the one thing that that's pretty weird is that being asked to eagle. It's like really want to jump on my back. You feel that comfortable right now to walk up to me And ask me to give you and ask and and ask me to give you a piggyback ride Tom, have you ever had weird fan moments? I bet some of your young flash fans have asked for something odd. I think just what you were saying earlier, I think it really tests yourour metedal as an actor when somebody suddenly unveils a tattoo of you on them Because you know, I think the reaction they're looking for is like, oh, that's great. Wow, you know, but really your reaction is a Yeah. You know. And you really gota you got to try and cover that as best you can because they've got, you know, a man ink their body. I'm just wor read it. I'm just wored they're toret. Of course why the fuck You naturally You naturally assume they're gonna regret it. You think the next day. you don't think you're gonna end up seeing it ever, but yeah, of course it's gonna be a massive regret. Well, we talked before you came on Tonnelbot how I'm gonna get Donald on my face Just like Joell Joelle Joelle reminded us that I should not u attempt to shade it in at all because len I listen to your episode. Yeah, you listen to Backface of course. Yeah, Joelle. You guys were very we in that. Joelle just came on in a moment of nervousness being like guys guys guys talk to about. Here's the voice. Here's the voice of reason. Please listen to the voice of I assured Joelle that would be solely an outline of his beautiful face How many people have sent you an apple teini in the bar Oh Oh, that's a very good question.. That's happened a bunch. I gotten sent a lot of apppple Tinis. They don't I don't don'tle to be honest. It's very sweet. It's sugar. I don't I mean, I understand it if if you're young or if you're if you're out for a night and you want to have a funny cocktail, but I just think that you shouldn't get drunk on them because they are so filled with sugar Heache to Lorda the next day I'm one of the owners of a restaurant in New York that I'll give a plug to now called the Mermaid Oyster Bar And se It'ss seventy nine McDougal, if you'd like to check it out when the world reopens.? But se do they serve oysters at this oyster bar? Yes, they have sixteen different types of oysters. Oh, wow. I love that you just said, do they serve oysters at this oyster bar? He was trying trying to see if it was legit. Oh, it is was legit. No serve oysters. He' being a good friend and trying to like tellell us more about this Oh you probably wantan to know about our lobster Do you have a lobster roll? Oh we have this lobster roll in Manhattan. I'll tell you that right now. Really? Yeah. W my point was is the owner told me that he's like, do you have any idea why people keep coming in and ordering apple teinis? No that's what. And he's like, I like, I don't know, but can you make them? He's like, No, we're not making apppple teinis. I just people tell your fans to stop ordering. hilarious That' good When we were young, they were tasty though. I don't know. Do you like them, Christina A little sweet for me.. All right, Do you have another question for us, Christina U So as Srubs one, what is your most memorable scene that you filmed Heavy question. Good question Wow. Tom Well, Tom can go first because he's the guast. and he's got less to think about because he's only did six or so episodes. It's easy. It was just, you know, I loved almost every scene. We did for comedy, there was one where the three of us were Fart bunnies, whereere we did the fart stuff? Yeah, we were goofing around the thing and then we had to we were eating breakfast and then we had to go I had to go to the bathroom and it just became this long running I'll be in there for one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, one minute. And then the other one was just the John Ritter stuff to have been like a part of that with with you guys was, you know, it was it was meaningful, certainly The bathtub scene. The bathtub scene was a little Less fun than you might expect. A one point, John C. Reilly is like, by now, you're sitting in what amounts to probably eighty percent of your own urine. And I think that was probably closer to the truth, so less fun, but at the same time, you know it's one thing that I hear a lot, you know, about the Captain Bubbleber or whatever the heck it was called Anyway, you guys, that's enough. Now youve had enough time. I've stalled well enough, I feel. And now you guys have the tarmac ready Donald shows. Well we answered something similar to this recently, but I wonder if it's the same answer for you Donald, goo ahead. Well, the Star Wars. Oh yeah. you're right No, Also Getting the opportunity to do an Indiana Jones situation in Someone's calling It was a lot of fun. Do the whole opening to Raiders of the Lost Dark and Side of someone's coing Yeah. And then To be honest with you One of my favorite scenes is a song Zach and I singing everythingverything comomes down to pooh rightil to this day is one of my Like I watch that with a smile and I can't watch a lot of the things that I do But that's one thing that I've done where I'm like That was that was fucking time shooting that Yeah. One of my favorite times was repelling across the fake City street on the Universal back lotot. Yeah on the episode where Donald and I go on a quest to find Molly, Heather Graham's character. And we reel across the street and then nail the wall And I fall into a bunch of garbage And then I get up and she looks at me and I act like I'm surprised to see her. and I go, Molly What are you doing here? That was just the most fun because you know, do you remember how you got to repel across the rope with I pulled your shirt off of you. No, you pulled my gown off of me. I I have a gown on it or it wasn't a shirt It was the hospital. Yeah, yeah And I go and I go Yeah, I pull it off and you gasp and then you're shtless. And then I turn turn I turn into a thing to repel across the street. And then and then I go Molly and she goes, what are you doing here? And then all of a sudden you just see Donald in the background drop down into frame naked So that was just so fun because, you know, we didn't always Yeah, as I've said before, on the podcast, that episode was like so epic. We didn't always do episodes that were that big and there we were like taking over the universal backlot to do that scene and I was directing and it was just funny. I remember just laughing my ass off that night I'm All right, well, we gott to go because our show's going so incredibly long. but Christina, thank you and all sincerity, thank you so much for what you' doing for for being on the frontlines for us. Can I just need y'all to give a quick shout out to two of my best friends that are super jealous right now? Cf course, sure.bsolly.
