0:14

0:31

So yead around here, yeado

0:34

0:40

Hello everyone. My name is Zach Braff. Hi,

0:42

I'm Donald Fason, and I can't believe

0:45

it, but guess what, guys, We're gonna do a Scrubs

0:47

rewatch podcast. Yeah,

0:50

that's exactly what we're doing. Dude, your voice

0:52

change completely all of a sudden. We were all talking

0:54

normal, you know, my podcast started be

0:56

like, hey everyone, it is I.

0:58

I got nervous and I I felt like I should

1:00

sound like a radio broadcaster. But no,

1:03

okay, I'm back to me. There we

1:05

go. This is pretty exciting. I'm

1:07

i gotta tell you, I'm very excited that we've been

1:10

talking about this for a long time. We've

1:12

been trying to figure it out. I've been teasing

1:15

social media, as have you been. You've

1:18

been You've been teasing social media a little

1:20

bit more than I have but I know because

1:22

I wanted to get people titilated. Donald,

1:24

I wanted to titillate the masses. Well, let's

1:26

thank iHeartRadio first of all for putting

1:29

this helping us. We had to figure out who

1:31

to do it, and we found a perfect partner with iHeart,

1:33

and we want to thank them. And also we want

1:35

to thank the fans across the universe,

1:38

because I just think it's would be crazy

1:40

for us not to start with saying we

1:42

wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the

1:44

just incredibly loyal, amazing

1:47

fan base we have around the earth. Right,

1:49

Donald, thank you very much all

1:51

of you who watched the show and who are listening

1:53

to this podcast right now. Wow, we

1:55

appreciate you so much. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank

1:57

you. I mean, this has been so many years

2:00

of love for this show. And you know it's funny.

2:02

I'm sure Donald, you have this experience too, where people come up through

2:04

the street like I'm sure this is so annoying, but

2:06

I just want to say I love the show, and I'm like, I'm always like, it's

2:08

not annoying. Are you kidding me? That's like the best comment

2:10

you can give us. So well, it's annoying when

2:12

you're eating food. Yeah, maybe eating food

2:14

and somebody comes up to you and they're like, sorry to bother

2:17

you. You You know, at first, why are you saying

2:19

sorry to bother you? You're not sorry to bother me.

2:21

You're meant to bother me at that moment, you know

2:23

what I mean. Yeah, Well, just guys, if you're gonna see Donald

2:25

in public, don't do it while he's eating. Maybe just with

2:28

my kids. I don't play that. Oh yeah, all right, we'll

2:30

just wait outside the restaurant for him in

2:32

a dark in a dark alley. That's

2:37

how I prefer people to approach me, in a

2:39

dark galley. I also, my only request is

2:42

not at the not online, at the pharmacy because

2:44

I'm usually sick and I

2:46

don't want to UM. I once had a guy asked

2:48

me to sign his his box of condoms at

2:51

a pharmacy, and uh I just

2:53

who No. I was like, dude, this

2:55

is weird. I don't want to sign Anyway.

2:58

We've already digressed. We love our fans

3:01

and we're so glad you're listening. So the rough plan

3:03

is that we're just gonna talk through episodes

3:06

of Scrubs we're gonna start with with season one.

3:08

Obviously. Today we're gonna talk about the pilot and

3:10

we're going to just kind of tell stories

3:12

and go through it scene by scene and just

3:15

kind of tell anecdotes and stuff, and then eventually

3:17

want to have guests on. We're gonna today we're gonna take

3:19

a very first fan question, which is thrilling.

3:22

Joel figured out how to do that. She's amazing.

3:25

We're really excited about this. We should

3:27

start. Do you remember the name of the pilot

3:29

what the first episode was? No?

3:32

Wait, I just want to tell them one more thing. So we were

3:34

going to do this in person, but then, of course, because of

3:36

this COVID insanity,

3:39

the good people of iHeart have figured out a

3:42

way for dollin us do it remotely. So we're

3:44

he's we're looking at each other over zoom,

3:46

and he's in his closet, which is frigging hilarious

3:49

because I guess that's the only place you can hide from your kids.

3:51

Yeah, well, yeah, they're downstairs. We put on Captain

3:53

underpants so they'll be quiet for a bit. But if you

3:56

hear someone yelling or screaming,

3:58

it's probably gonna be my son. Rocco

4:00

or my daughter Wilder. I'm gonna take a picture of

4:02

this to post on the interwebs because

4:05

it's very adorable. Right, well, let me get my let

4:07

me get a fresh post. Then, oh my god,

4:09

you're so cute. All right. So Donald has

4:12

children and m and a wife and

4:14

everyone's in quarantine. So he's

4:16

in his closet recording and

4:19

we're looking at each other. So so we're gonna do it like

4:21

this, um, and for the foreseeable future,

4:23

every week we'll be coming to you talking

4:26

about the next episode of the show,

4:28

and we'll hope that you'll watch it along with us, because

4:30

that's kind of the idea if you if you watched

4:32

that episode, and then um, we'll

4:34

shoot the shit about that episode. I

4:37

just watched it. I got very nostalgiic. Did

4:39

you did you feel nostalgia? Well,

4:41

yeah, just how young we were. First

4:43

of all, we were so young, so

4:46

young. I didn't remember how young I was. I

4:49

was twenty six at the time and I'm

4:51

forty five turning

4:53

forty six this year, and it was that

4:56

was twenty years ago. So you

4:58

know, watching the pilot for the first time, I'm

5:00

really felt like it was brand new. Like

5:02

I remembered some things, but other

5:04

things I was like, I don't remember any

5:07

of this. You know.

5:09

I remember certain poses that John

5:11

c McGinley made, like when he put his hand on the

5:13

back of his head and stuff like that. I remember

5:16

being like, Wow, that's interesting that he chose

5:18

to do that right now, And

5:20

as the show goes on, it became his

5:22

doctor Cox stuff. But while we while

5:24

watching it for the first time, I was like, Oh my god, this

5:27

is where it all originated. This is where this

5:29

is where this came from. There were so

5:31

many moments I had while watching it too where I was like

5:33

thinking, first of all, we can't

5:36

start off even even five minutes of this

5:38

without talking about Bill Lawrence, who is

5:40

the creator of the show and the reason we're all

5:42

here talking. And I was just amazed

5:45

watching it how how much Bill got

5:47

it it's like twenty three minutes long, and how

5:49

much he was able how much storytelling

5:51

and character introduction. The pilots are always hard

5:54

because you know, you have the showrunner

5:56

creator has such a hard job to introduce

5:59

so many characters and do it in twenty

6:01

three minutes. And it's just amazing how

6:03

much how many characters are introduced,

6:05

how many storylines and like love

6:07

interests are introduced, How much is packed into one episode?

6:10

Yeah, that's some of those. I have questions

6:12

for you, as a matter of fact, just on you

6:15

know, how the whole pilot

6:17

came together and everything. Well wait, let's start with let's

6:19

sorry I didn't interrupt you, but let's start with I

6:21

feel like we should tell our stories about auditioning,

6:24

because that's well, yeah, that was my first question

6:26

for you. So when we first started

6:28

the pilot, I had already

6:30

done quite a few things, Like I was in clueless.

6:33

I had done remember the Titans already

6:35

waiting to exhale. I was guest starring on Felicity

6:38

at the time, and this was a pilot that

6:40

came up for me, and I was like, yeah, sure, I'll go out

6:42

for it. I'd love to go out for it. Anybody wants to be on a

6:44

show. And it wasn't until after I auditioned

6:46

for it and got it that everybody was like, oh

6:49

my. I remember all of my agents being like, this

6:51

is like the number one pilot of this season. Everyone

6:53

wanted to be a part of this, and you booked

6:55

it, and I remember being like, holy cow. I was just

6:58

looking at it as let me get another job. I

7:00

got kids to feed. You know what I mean. You were completely

7:02

different. You were like I mean, I know

7:04

you had been in some things and stuff like that, but you

7:07

hadn't even really popped yet. Yeah. I'd done

7:09

little things, you know. I've been in an indie. I was

7:11

in an indie, A couple of indies, one called The Broken Hearts

7:13

Club that went to Sundance, but I was still

7:15

waiting tables. I directed that, by the way, a

7:17

now superstar famous person named

7:19

Greg Berlani. It was his very first film,

7:22

and he gave me one of my

7:24

first early big breaks being in that

7:27

movie. And I was a waiter at a French Vietnamese

7:29

restaurant in Beverly

7:31

Hills combination and people

7:34

who you know, if you saw Garden

7:36

State in my film, I'm kind of spoofing

7:38

that in the beginning when I'm working with a tunic on

7:40

and waiting on horrible people. But

7:42

anyway, I was waiting there and people would come from

7:44

having Broken Hearts Club was in the theater, and

7:47

people would come from the theater and they'd say

7:49

for dessert to the restaurant, and they'd be like, we just

7:52

saw your movie and I'd be like, oh

7:54

cool, thank you, thank you for going. And they'd be

7:56

like you were you were great, and I go, oh, thank you,

7:58

thank you so much. Let me tell you about our specials.

8:02

And it was like, only in Hollywood can you go

8:04

see a movie and then have the star of the movie

8:06

wait on you for dessert. How did you feel about

8:08

that? Were you ever embarrassed by it? It was so embarrassed.

8:11

I remember I would go to like a general meeting in Hollywood

8:13

of these things called general meetings where you kind of go and like

8:15

you're like bragging that, oh my my career is going

8:17

so well and we should really work together, and

8:19

you're just kind of schmoozing. And I remember I did

8:21

one of those and like it really went well, and I came

8:23

out feeling so good. And then that night

8:26

I looked down at one of my tables and the guy was

8:28

at the table, and I

8:30

didn't I had left out the part how I was still,

8:33

you know, hustling and waiting tables. But

8:36

so you know, I got the audition.

8:39

I was waiting tables. I got the audition. Now

8:42

that my story is a little funny, because I went

8:44

out first for it in New York. I happened to

8:46

be in New York, and I didn't prepare. It

8:48

went so poorly. I hadn't

8:50

read the script. You know, not every audition

8:52

do you go in killing it. And

8:54

I didn't do a good job. And I

8:56

when I got back to La, my

8:59

agent said, look, they still can't find

9:01

this guy for this show. And it's

9:03

really, like you said, everyone's talking about this is like one of the hot

9:05

new shows of the season. You I think you

9:07

could just go back in, like they won't even know, like your

9:09

audition, I don't even They were like, I don't

9:11

even know if your tape made it from New York,

9:13

like because no one was no one, no one even responded

9:15

to whatever the fuck you did. So I

9:18

this time, I took it seriously. I memorized that I

9:20

worked on it. I practiced a lot, and then when

9:22

I went in. I remember the cash director

9:26

Brett Right, I was in. He

9:28

looked up at me like, oh

9:30

okay, like with a smile. And then it

9:33

was off to the races. And then I met Bill and

9:36

I worked with Bill, and

9:38

and then you know, I literally auditioned six times

9:41

before I got it, and finally my final

9:44

audition was for the network, and

9:46

it was down between four of us, and

9:48

I read with Sarah

9:50

and I, you know,

9:52

I had in six times. I wore the exact same outfit

9:55

every single time because I was so superstitious,

9:57

and I could really tell that Bill was rooting for me.

10:00

He made it known to me that that

10:02

he wanted me to get it. But but there were a lot of

10:04

you know, people that were more famous than me that were that

10:06

were I mean that we're famous, that were up for

10:08

it. So I couldn't I couldn't leave. I got it. But

10:10

anyway, so tell me. Tell me about your audition for So

10:12

I auditioned for it. The first time I auditioned

10:15

for it. I don't know who was in the room, to be honest with

10:17

you. I just auditioned and they were like, they

10:19

want to bring you back. And then I came back

10:21

and I auditioned again, and this time Bill

10:23

was there, and I remember being like,

10:25

oh, okay. You

10:28

know, at this point in my career, it

10:30

was like I'm just going to audition for things as many

10:32

times as I can until they say yes, you know what I mean,

10:34

or until they say no. And

10:37

I remember they were like, all right, look you're gonna

10:39

test for this, but they want you to go in for one more

10:41

audition before that, just to run

10:43

lines with Bill and work on the jokes and

10:45

stuff. And I was like, yeah, absolutely.

10:48

The one thing I remembered to this day

10:50

he still liked this. If

10:52

Bill wants the joke to work, he'll

10:54

laugh. Even if it fell flat,

10:57

He'll still laugh to give you the confidence

10:59

of yo, dude, that's the joke.

11:01

That's where the joke lands, right. Yeah. So

11:04

we went into the room and we were working

11:06

on it and he's laughing at everything

11:08

and I'm like, oh, I'm crushing it. And then after

11:10

every take he'd be like, all right, now, let's work on this

11:13

beat. And I remember it was him and Danny Rose

11:15

at the time. Yeah, Danny

11:18

Rose is another one. At the time, he

11:20

was Bill's assistant, but then then he

11:23

rose up in the ranks and became a

11:25

producer on the show. Right, And so

11:27

we did it, and then he was like, all right, good

11:30

luck tomorrow. And I was like all right, bet,

11:32

And so I went on the audition and I saw a bunch of

11:34

friends of mine auditioning, and Sarah

11:36

was there, and you know, we

11:38

were there for about an hour and a half,

11:41

all of us testing in front of the network,

11:43

and I remember at

11:46

one point, you know, we're all sitting

11:48

out there for a while and they hadn't come

11:50

out in a bit, and Bill comes out. It's

11:52

like, Donald, I need to talk to you real quick. And I was like, oh,

11:54

well, I guess I'm the first person to go home. And

11:57

he says, so, look,

12:00

your audition you probably could tell

12:02

already, but you kind of fucked it up. So

12:06

and so you

12:09

know, I want to give you another shot because the

12:11

things that I've seen you do, you

12:14

just didn't do that time in the room, and

12:16

so if you could just bring it down a little bit. And

12:18

because you agree with him, did you think did you?

12:20

Did you agree with him and think like, oh shit, I was so nervous,

12:23

and he's right, No, I thought I was crushing

12:25

it. I was doing everything that we I thought

12:27

I was doing everything that we had done in the rehearsal

12:30

right. So finally I go in there

12:32

and I remember toning everything down

12:35

and him being like perfect and

12:37

then leaving and he sent everybody

12:40

home except for Sarah, myself

12:43

and one other person. And

12:45

that night I found out I got the job. Wow,

12:48

you know, what I mean. And you know,

12:50

when I went in all the audition, I expected to see

12:52

the guy that he had kept. You

12:55

know, it was me, Sarah and this one guy, and we were

12:57

like, holy cow, I guess we got

12:59

it right. And I

13:01

expected to see the guy at the table read

13:04

and you walked in. I was like, that's not the same dude.

13:08

Wait, so I knew who you were obviously,

13:10

but because I loved I

13:12

had not seen anything you were in. No, No, you wouldn't.

13:15

I'm sure I didn't mean

13:17

to say that you had seen my two little indies.

13:20

I just mean, like, I guess I don't know

13:22

what my question is. I mean like you even seen a picture

13:24

of me. You didn't even know anything about me. You just knew nothing

13:26

about you. You knew what you knew. An unknown guy

13:28

got the part at least right. I feel like I remember

13:30

what you wore at a table read though, I feel

13:32

like you wore corduroy brown pants. I

13:35

could believe that you would

13:37

remember this and a T shirt. And we met

13:39

at the bar while I remember this, I

13:41

remember I was writing this down in my notes. First

13:43

of all, it was that Christa Miller's

13:46

all and Bill's old house

13:48

and Charlotte Lawrence had just been born. Charlotte

13:51

Lawrence was a baby, and we

13:54

walked into I remember it was a sunken living

13:56

room and there was a bar in the

13:58

corner and then you turned around out and we're

14:00

like, gave me this big smile and they were like,

14:03

yeah, buddy, like

14:05

and I was like, it literally was love at first

14:07

sight, right, I just felt I was so

14:09

nervous. I didnt understand. I mean, I knew you were obviously,

14:11

I knew John McGinley was. I

14:13

had met Sarah and my audition, but

14:16

like I was, you can imagine. I mean, we're all nervous

14:18

no matter who you are. But I was because because also people do

14:20

get fired after table reads, so you

14:22

know, you're like, You're like, I mostly

14:24

have it, but I really got to make sure I keep it. And

14:27

uh and then I saw you and you were so warm

14:29

and and I think we hugged. I think the first time,

14:31

I know, we did hug Yeah,

14:33

the first time we met, we hugged. Well that's

14:36

that's that was the That was the crazy. The craziest

14:38

thing was I remember not knowing

14:40

who you were and being like, all right, they were and Bill

14:42

was like let's start the table read. And

14:45

I remember being nervous for myself

14:48

and then you started reading, and

14:51

all of a sudden, the jokes that I didn't see

14:54

in the script when I read it, all of

14:56

a sudden started to appear because

14:58

you were knocking out, knocking it out of the park,

15:00

and everybody was laughing and you

15:02

know, really excited. So

15:05

when it was my time to come and I was like, yeah,

15:07

the energy was there, and you know what I mean, I

15:09

just remember being like, holy cow, this kid

15:11

is amazing, and

15:14

I remember being like this could actually

15:16

turn into something. This is at the table read.

15:18

I remember being like this could be something

15:20

special. My agents weren't lying

15:22

when they told me this was the one.

15:25

Yeah, yeah, man, I remember that special feeling

15:27

too. I also wanted to say that I

15:30

when I drove home from my test, I had

15:32

a Star Tech. I had the motor role of Startek. You remember

15:34

that, Yeah, yeah, the two ways.

15:37

No, No, the Star Trek was the little flip phone, the little

15:39

black flip phone back in the day. Oh,

15:42

I don't know. Anyway, I had my little I had

15:44

my little I had my little flip phone and I put

15:46

it on the passenger seat as I was driving home from

15:48

the network test and I'm just waiting

15:50

to see if it was gonna ring, and

15:52

like, is my life about to change substantially

15:55

or not? And the phone rang. It

15:57

was Bill. He told me I got the part,

16:00

and I was just flipping out. I mean, I had

16:02

no money. I didn't have a dollar into my name. I you

16:04

know, I was living, dude, who

16:06

are you telling man? I had kids. I

16:09

bought a house with all of this clueless money

16:11

that I had. And you know what I mean. I thought I

16:13

was going to be a baller. And I

16:15

remember having to call home and beg my mom

16:18

for money so I could get gas to go on

16:20

these auditions. Oh you know what I mean. Because I was

16:22

broke, my parents loaned me, um,

16:24

five thousand dollars to buy a car out in

16:26

La So I bought a car. I bought a Nissan to forty

16:29

SX I remember, which did

16:31

me really really well. And um, and then

16:33

I was just, you know, living off my waiters salary.

16:36

But um, I got the call from Bill. I freak

16:38

out. I called my mom, I called

16:40

my dad, and then I called the manager of the restaurant, who

16:42

was amazingly supportive of me, and she was she

16:44

was an actress herself, and she was like, I'm so happy

16:47

for you. Congratulations. And I was like, well, I

16:49

quit. And she was like wait wait, I'll

16:54

never forget that. She was like, work

16:57

tonight. I was like what now, But she's like you

16:59

have to work tonight. And I was like I do.

17:02

She's like, babe, you can't leave me hanging like that. You gotta

17:04

work tonight. I was like, I was like, oh, I'll work tonight.

17:06

And I just got I like I had hammered. People

17:09

were like waiting on me, like you know, because it was one of those restaurant where

17:11

people were like really douche and like sir, and I'd be like,

17:13

just wait your turn. I everybody,

17:18

everybody calmed down, all right, your

17:22

food is coming right on. I

17:24

remember after we shot the pilot, just to jump

17:27

ahead and having to wait for so long for

17:29

the show to get picked up, right and

17:31

running into you at a club and

17:33

you being out of your mind blitzed.

17:36

Yeah, yeah, that's probably what happened.

17:39

I could never get into the club, like I went like

17:41

and the classic thing with like the red velvet ropes

17:44

and like I can't even picture

17:46

like me being online at the club, being like, all

17:48

right, I'm going out to a nightclub tonight because

17:50

I got some money in my pocket. And it's like,

17:52

I picture, I see like Donald going in, like the guys,

17:54

like the bouncers, like part the red velvet

17:56

ropes. Is Donald and his posse gets gets

17:59

led into the club. And then I get

18:01

in and I saw you. I remember, I remember the first night

18:03

I saw you like out in the real world, and

18:05

I like screamed because I was like, dude,

18:07

you was so loud and he was so drunk. It was

18:09

so funny. Well, I had to celebrate.

18:12

So let's get Let's get back to the Let's get back. Let's

18:14

talk about the pilot. Now. The first thing I want to see

18:16

about the pilot. The first thing I noticed is,

18:18

uh that that's not the hospital,

18:21

right. The pilot for Scrubs was

18:23

filmed um. We filmed technically

18:25

in three spots. The pilot was filmed um

18:29

in a Burbank hospital and this one

18:31

that they show it in the exterior is

18:33

actually not even that. It's just a different hospital. But

18:35

then we shot the bulk of the series at

18:37

a hospital in Valley Village

18:40

which is now apartments. And

18:42

then season nine, which We'll

18:44

have plenty of jokes about um was shot actually

18:46

on a backlot on stages,

18:49

But the bulk of the show, the one that that

18:51

you all know and love, was shot

18:53

all inside a real hospital. I'm

18:56

sure not everybody knows that it was a real

18:58

hospital. Remember the sound

19:00

man saying something about, you

19:02

know, I think when we did the pilot, I'm not sure

19:05

if I'm not sure if it was the pilot

19:07

of the actual series, but I think it was the pilot

19:09

saying, you know what, I'm gonna set

19:11

up in this room because this is the room that my father

19:14

died in or something. Really, yeah,

19:16

that's so dark. Our dressing rooms, you

19:18

know. You know you've seen a lot of times on sets the people

19:20

have trailers that are their dressing rooms. Well, our dressing

19:23

rooms were hospital rooms. For eight

19:25

and a half years that we

19:27

worked at this hospital, we lived

19:30

and did everything inside this hospital.

19:32

I mean, our dressing rooms were in the hospital, the makeup

19:34

rooms in the hospital, the offices were in this

19:36

hospital. They editing, the writer's room,

19:39

everything. All the other sets, like you know,

19:41

whether it was the inside of a bar or our apartment,

19:44

all those were built into this really

19:46

disgusting ancient hospital.

19:50

Okay, So I want to talk about

19:52

the first scene where you wake

19:54

up and it's time to that.

19:57

Was that a reshoot? Um? No, it

19:59

was not a reshoot. I think it was done like after

20:01

the fact things, probably one of the last things we did. I do remember

20:04

thinking that I didn't think this was funny, this

20:06

this whole shaving cream thing. It turned out

20:08

to be really funny. Well that's Bill.

20:10

Bill turns it into something. I remember thinking

20:12

like, what, why would I be doing this? Why

20:17

would I, on my first day so nervous be

20:19

making a shaving cream bra or being like a

20:21

warrior? A warrior? Like

20:28

how young I am. I'm just scrolling through because

20:30

I like to just reference it. But anyway, I didn't

20:32

think it was funny at the time, but then I saw it and I remember

20:34

thinking, yeah, that was that was clever. Okay. And then

20:37

the scene where where you walk into

20:39

the hospital and the lady

20:41

gives you all of this energy about what's

20:43

going to happen today, et cetera, et cetera,

20:45

and then you not really

20:48

knowing where to go. Yeah, I mean, this

20:50

was one thing I'll hearing you say over and over again

20:53

was and Bill always said this was like there's

20:55

no person better to play someone young and

20:57

in over their head than me. Because here I

20:59

wasnew anything of I mean, it was all method

21:01

acting. I didn't know anything about starring

21:03

in a TV show. I didn't know anything about like I

21:06

mean, I knew I had some experience, but every

21:08

time I was playing the wide eyed guy walking

21:10

around, I was just being me because I couldn't believe that

21:12

this was happening to me. You know, it was the exact same

21:15

life that I was living, you know what, speaking

21:17

of wide eyed. Before we started

21:19

the pilot, they wanted us to all go

21:21

on rounds with doctors and stuff like that.

21:23

Right. I did that, right? I did

21:26

not. I opted out. I was like, get the funk out of here. I'm not doing

21:28

that shit. I don't want to see any of this. But

21:31

meanwhile, I'm like, I'm like the diligent student

21:33

who's like, all right, send me out right. I remember

21:36

getting on the phone with the young lady

21:38

who was my contact that

21:40

was going to take me around on rounds, and her being like,

21:42

so you're coming down to night and me being like, yeah about

21:45

that. No, I don't see

21:47

myself ever doing this. If

21:49

you could just tell me some anecdotes that would be great.

21:51

But yeah, I was the exactly. I was like the good student.

21:53

I was like, did you see anything crazy? No, but

21:55

I remember thinking it was really inappropriate actually

21:58

that she was having me like go around, like to

22:01

visit patients with her, Like she she put a stethoscope

22:03

around my neck, so I would look

22:05

like legit, like I

22:08

know, it's kind of fucked up in hindsight, like I should

22:10

not have been doing that. But did she ever refer

22:12

to you like no, no, because she she was just

22:14

treating me like I was like I

22:16

was a medical student and she wasn't

22:19

doing what she should have done, which is being like, hey,

22:21

is it okay there's someone who's an actor researching

22:23

a part. She wasn't doing that. I was just going

22:25

in and being like, hey,

22:27

how's the guy's and she kind of like

22:30

and the people would be like looking at her, and then they

22:32

like they nod to me, and I'm like I would just be nodding.

22:34

I remember, I was just I was just kind of had

22:36

like a serious nod on my face, like I was listening

22:39

and understanding what's going on. I

22:48

want to talk about the title sequence, because that's

22:50

the next thing that comes up. I was going to ask you about that

22:52

too, man, Dude, how much

22:54

did you hate that until you saw it. That's

22:57

one of those things where I was like, this is sucks.

22:59

Man. It took for those of you who don't

23:01

know, it's a motion control camera, and it really

23:03

took a long time to do that, and

23:06

at the time we didn't know how cool it would look, so

23:08

it was like it took like a full day to do it,

23:10

and I remember we were all kind of really

23:12

over it by the end. Then it came out and

23:15

it was really fucking cool. And then we've

23:17

heard this for many times our whole

23:19

scrubs existence, but the X ray

23:21

at the end is backwards, and every

23:24

every doctor wanted to point that out, and

23:26

we used to be like, oh, yeah, yeah,

23:29

that's on purpose. Get it because they're like med students

23:31

comedy right, yeah, and they're med students. They

23:33

don't fully get it. When we were like, no, it

23:35

wasn't the fucking prop guy fucked up the ship backwards.

23:37

We did. But we got lucky with that too, because

23:39

that kind of set the tone for this offbeat,

23:42

wacky show of ours. You know, I know, I know.

23:44

But early on in like in like commentary.

23:47

I remember everyone being like the X rays backwards

23:49

and we were like, yeah, we're

23:51

meant to do it, and to do it

23:53

again when we do it next time. Do

23:55

you remember when we a few years in they

23:58

tried to redo this sequence with Neil to

24:00

add Neil. They wanted to add Neil and

24:02

Neil that played the janitor. Yeah, And

24:04

and then so they aired it a few times and the fan

24:07

base was like, what the fuck is

24:09

that over? No, they weren't having it. They were

24:11

not having it. They were like so like season nine, how they

24:13

weren't having season But anyway,

24:16

all right, we digree. We have one

24:18

hundred and eighty episodes to get to you before we wait.

24:20

And then I want to say that the song was um

24:23

it was a song I found from a band

24:25

called laslow Bane that I was friends with and

24:27

I because originally we wanted five for fighting.

24:29

That was yeah, that was the original

24:32

theme song. It was something like, uh, I'm

24:34

more than a bird. We

24:36

can never use this, I'm more than a plane. I

24:39

think you're allowed to sing a few lines Superman

24:43

beside a train. However it goes anyway,

24:45

so, um, I can't stand my

24:48

friend. Um right,

24:52

all right, my friend Chad Fisher

24:54

was in this band, and I thought the lyrics were perfect because it's

24:56

not only was it a great song, but it's like what

24:59

the show's about. You know, I'm Superman.

25:01

Donald, get it, Well, that's the same thing

25:03

the Fight for Fighting song was about. You just found

25:05

somebody who wrote something kind of similar to it.

25:07

I can't do it all, Donald, I couldn't do it

25:09

all on my own. I needed my friend. I'm moving, bod.

25:17

You have such a pretty voice, though. I just

25:19

remember how perfect the song was

25:22

when they sang it, and we didn't really necessarily

25:25

know that it was going to be the theme song until I

25:27

remember you playing it from me and being like dude,

25:29

and and being like, oh yeah, that's cool. But

25:31

I didn't realize it was going to really be the theme song until

25:34

we had that first cookout before

25:36

we started shooting the show, and

25:39

he sang it with the

25:41

with the bullhorn and his boy playing

25:44

the guitar next to him, and

25:46

then we made a music video. If any of you never

25:48

saw it, it's kind of cool. I shot

25:51

a music video for the song, and I

25:53

shot all this kind of cool footage of us. I'm

25:55

sure it's on YouTube all right, Okay,

25:57

so let's talk about the first scene with you. I'm

26:00

gathering my notes because I did a lot of I

26:03

wanted fans to know I did a lot of prep for this

26:05

right on. So the first scene with you and I,

26:07

where we're talking and Ted

26:10

the Lawyer is explaining to us,

26:12

you know, legal procedure in the hospital.

26:15

Yeah, I remember him

26:18

making up the line and if you pay if

26:20

your patient's dead and you're

26:23

sure and you're sure and

26:26

uh, I remember that was when I realized, oh wow,

26:28

Bill's gonna let us. He's gonna let us

26:30

improv a little bit. Yeah, and opportunities

26:32

to be funny. Yeah. I

26:34

think that's one of the things that made Scrubs really

26:37

special is that Bill really let

26:39

everyone kind of make it their own. I mean,

26:41

his running rule through through the whole

26:43

series was, you know, please get it the

26:45

way that it's written first, make sure we've

26:48

got it good, and then you guys can play around and

26:50

improvise and if you have some wacky

26:52

idea, you can do it. And that was from the

26:54

get go. And then he had and he hired all these

26:56

amazing people like Sam Lloyd,

26:59

who plays Lawyer, who played Ted the Lawyer,

27:01

and a little trivia who's Christopher Lloyd's

27:04

nephew? You know, just hilarious

27:07

character actors like that that could that would just

27:09

bring all their own and no matter what the size

27:11

of the part, you know, from from

27:13

from our size part all the way down to people who

27:16

had you know, would have one line an episode. Um,

27:18

there was so much freedom to just kind of riff around

27:20

and make it funny. Yeah, and we should

27:22

give a shout out to Adam Bernstein who directed

27:25

the pilot. A polo director. Yeah,

27:27

a pilot director for those of you who don't know, really

27:29

sets the look of the show and the style.

27:31

You know, Scrubs has a very specific style with the whip

27:34

pans and the flashing to flashbacks

27:36

and fantasies, and even

27:38

the color of the show to make how it looks so

27:40

much like a hospital and isn't overly

27:44

saturated like a lot of TV

27:46

shows that deal with hospital life. They

27:48

you know, they want their actors

27:51

to pop on screens.

27:53

So the blues or bluer

27:56

and the eyes and the you know what I

27:58

mean, Scrubs it look dingy and

28:00

dirty in the hospital. In that first episode,

28:02

I noticed a lot. I noticed that it was clearly. The thing I noticed

28:04

they you know, the whole idea was that it was a it

28:06

was a hospital that was had very little money.

28:08

And I noticed there's a lot of stuff. I know, I haven't watched

28:11

this pilot how many years,

28:13

twenty years, but I remember I

28:15

was looking at the ceiling tiles. There's all these like missing ceiling

28:17

tiles, and yeah, and it was and Bill and Adam

28:19

really made it feel like a dingy you know, it

28:22

was not supposed to be a nice hospital. Also, the show

28:24

was shot on film, which a lot of people probably

28:26

don't know. This was the entire series

28:28

was shot on sixteen millimeter film. That's

28:31

why there's no blu ray and there's no

28:33

if you look at it normally, how it's meant to be seen.

28:35

It's a square because it

28:37

was before high def video

28:39

and sixteen by nine televisions

28:42

and uh and no one ever like upraised it. So

28:45

this is all we got. I watched the iTunes version,

28:47

which has the original music. Do you want to explain

28:49

to them about the music thing? Hulu doesn't have the original

28:52

music. Well, just you know, just because it's a question

28:54

we get from a lot of fans at times

28:56

on social media, all this music that

28:58

was put on Scrubs and a lot of people love was

29:01

licensed before streaming. So

29:03

these days, a lot of times if you watch

29:05

it on Hulu where it's currently playing, or wherever you're

29:07

watching it, it might have some of those songs

29:10

that you love replaced because they

29:12

weren't licensed for streaming rights. iTunes

29:15

is the only place or owning the DVD's obviously,

29:17

is the only place where where all of the original music

29:20

would be there. Let's talk about your teeth for a second,

29:22

because I don't think we can just let this go. Ah,

29:26

I had baby teeth when we started shooting the

29:28

show. I don't have baby teeth. And if you spent

29:30

a lot of money on new teeth there it is

29:33

if you free streams, if you freeze frame.

29:35

There was there was a sage of Donald's teeth

29:37

because he used to have he had fake braces

29:40

famously in Clueless. Yes, because

29:42

they were trying to hide my small teeth. Go on,

29:44

oh is that really why? Absolutely?

29:46

Oh, we're getting an exclusive here, so

29:49

you're selling they shave my head, and they

29:51

shaved my head and Clueless because my hairline

29:53

was receding at eighteen you know what I mean?

29:56

By the time I was twenty one, I had this hairline right

29:58

here that you that I'm well, you guys

30:00

can't see it, but I had this. Uh. By

30:04

the way, I feel like we're breaking news that you're

30:06

famous. When I was a kid, they called me

30:08

George Jefferson. Okay, because

30:11

of my hairline? Are

30:14

you happy? Are you happy? But

30:16

I never knew that the clueless braces

30:18

were because of your fucked up chicklet teeth.

30:21

Yes, and then the and then the hats

30:24

that I wore and clueless was because of my

30:26

hairline. Oh my god, Like I have a baby

30:28

face. I have a baby face. It's

30:30

a baby right, Like I have a baby face. Yeah,

30:32

but I don't have a baby's hair line, right,

30:35

I had baby teeth. I had baby teeth.

30:38

Who called you George Jefferson? Your parents?

30:40

No, some like dickhead that I grew up

30:42

my parents. You're an asshole. That'd

30:44

be hilarious, George, all

30:47

right, let's go forward with your teeth. And

30:49

then and then well, by the way, funny story. So then

30:51

one season Donald

30:54

chose up. He decided on his own. We could

30:56

talk about this some other time. We don't need to talk

30:58

about this now. Well, kind of just tease it later

31:00

it tracks, it'll track, all right.

31:02

Donald shut up with braces on the inside of his teeth and had

31:04

a lisp, and Bill was like, take your fucking braces off. What the hell

31:06

you guys? All right, let's there's like but there's like six

31:08

episodes where I'm talking

31:10

like this the whole and

31:13

Donald chose up but he's like, I don't build. I don't

31:15

think anyone's gonna notice. And Bill's

31:17

like, no one's gonna notice. What

31:19

the fuck are you doing? What'd you do? And

31:21

Donald's like, well, it's a brave

31:24

but you can't see him because they're on the in fife in my

31:26

mouth. Okay, all

31:28

right, I don't even think that's a funny story, dude.

31:30

I think it's hilarious. All right, let's talk about

31:32

Sarah Chalk's entrance into the lounge

31:35

room. Absolutely done, dune, duh.

31:37

The brilliant and beautiful Sarah Chalk.

31:39

So I remember at the audition

31:42

saying Sarah and being like that's the girl

31:44

from Roseanne. Holy cow. Yeah

31:47

second Becky, and thinking

31:50

she's definitely gonna get this part because

31:52

that was the girl from Roseanne,

31:55

you know what I mean? Yeah, No, I didn't know. I knew

31:57

she was second Becky was as as she jokingly

32:00

called herself, and people called her because she had replaced

32:02

the original Becky, But I wasn't

32:04

until I read with her in front of Bill

32:06

and then I read there at my final

32:09

Studio Network test that I got to meet

32:11

her, and I was just smitten.

32:13

I just thought she was so funny and

32:15

so beautiful, and that

32:18

was one of my notes. Actually, you guys had such

32:20

great chemistry in the pilot,

32:22

and it showed on screen that, you know. I

32:25

think that worked for the

32:27

remainder of the

32:29

show because of you

32:32

know, it's hard to tell a will they

32:34

won't they early

32:36

on in a pilot, you know what I mean, Like

32:38

you can say one person has

32:40

a crush, but you both kind of

32:42

had a chemistry for each other in

32:44

the pilots, and it was undeniable, you

32:47

know what I mean. So like right away, you

32:49

knew that at some point you

32:52

guys had to get together, you know what I mean, even

32:54

if it didn't work, you knew what you guys had

32:56

to get together. And then there was that scene where

32:58

and we're in the staircase and I'm supposed to be looking at

33:01

her butt going up and saying it looks I

33:03

never understood why two pringles, which is what

33:05

I say her, but your butt looks like two pringles

33:07

hugging. I never knew why they curve

33:10

because it's a little Okay, so a pringle

33:12

isn't I don't know if it's a compliment for a butt

33:14

though, is it? My dude,

33:17

I was trying to tell me you don't appreciate

33:20

around booty. No, I love around booty. But

33:22

I just don't know what the hell are you talking about. But bro,

33:24

you think you think calling I would say like,

33:26

oh, it looks like a juicy peach. I

33:29

wouldn't say it looks like two pringles that are like

33:31

sharp and breakable. Okay,

33:36

let me ask you a question. Would you how would you

33:38

describe a nice bottom like to

33:41

a piece of food? You would choose pringles? Well,

33:45

I mean, I'm going, okay, do we need to get into

33:47

this? Well, you can get it into this. You can say

33:49

it in a nice um political correct

33:52

For a really long time, yes,

33:54

people of Caucasian colors,

33:57

it didn't necessarily like to have

34:00

big round booties, and so

34:02

a pringle being a

34:04

tiny curved right chip,

34:08

right, did you put them together, they look like

34:10

a little tiny booty. So

34:13

you're saying, because she had a tiny white

34:15

girl booty, it was pringly right.

34:18

Nowadays right because of certain

34:21

actresses and Instagram

34:24

models or whatever it. Yes,

34:28

everyone in a mama likes a round booty,

34:30

now a big round so is

34:33

you're starting to put fake booties, and

34:36

that's starting to put fake stuff in

34:38

the buttox area to make the booty

34:40

round. Now, I've heard women really

34:43

round booties already and decided,

34:45

you know what, it ain't round enough

34:48

and took more to make

34:50

it bigger. I have a question for

34:52

you about this. Yes, Now, is your

34:54

theory that certain famous influencers

34:57

have influenced women to

35:00

to add not just exerc not

35:02

just women, men too. Men too. Now

35:04

they exercise it. You can choose to exercise

35:07

and build up your booty. But you're saying that people

35:09

really do put put fake

35:11

implants into their bottoms. They

35:14

not only put it into their bottoms, they put

35:16

it into their chest area, They put

35:18

it into their abs, they put it into their

35:20

arms. There are so many people

35:22

out there where you're like, Wow, that dude works out,

35:24

or wow, she must really work out,

35:27

and it's all enhancements. Do you think men

35:29

get ass implants? Absolutely? Could

35:31

you love a number for a doctor who does? That's

35:36

true because you got a little too buffalo behind. That's

35:38

no, it's small, it's it's very small. I was

35:40

thinking the other day that was the other thing that I noticed

35:42

about you that the first time I met you. But

35:45

really small booty. Oh you notice

35:47

that it's a table read Absolutely

35:50

when you walked away anyway, gone. Now. I

35:52

just wrote down because there was a shot of her butt and which

35:54

I thought it looked beautiful, and then I kind

35:57

of thought about the line pringles and I didn't fully understand

35:59

it. Right, Let's move on from Sarah

36:01

and her glorious Let's talk about John

36:03

C. McGinley. Yes, let's doctor

36:06

Cox. Wait before you get to Cox, I

36:08

want to talk about just I think

36:10

Matt Winston is first. So Matt

36:12

Winston is the guy who's saying I'm a tool, I'm

36:15

a tool, I'm a tool. And I always

36:17

thought he was so frigging funny. In fact, I put him

36:19

in my film which I was here and

36:22

a little bit of trivia for the trivia buffs

36:24

out there. He's Stan Winston's son, the late

36:26

great Stan Winston did you know that Donald I

36:28

did not know that. Yeah. Wow,

36:30

So he wasn't

36:32

used a ton a Bill sort of phased him out, although

36:35

he did have a hilarious line where he goes, it's like a

36:37

baguette. I think when he was talking about

36:39

Kelsell's penis all right, So Johnny c

36:41

McGinley, I mean, where do we begin the

36:43

legend? The legend that I

36:45

remember when we after the

36:48

table read. When I saw him at the table read, I was like,

36:50

I'm gonna stay clear of that guy. He's a little

36:52

intimidating. Yeah, he's a little scary. And

36:54

then we did the rehearsals

36:57

at the hospital and I remember watching

37:00

him and I was like, I remember telling

37:02

myself focus on him right

37:04

now because we're all, you

37:07

know, kind of wide eyed and don't

37:09

necessarily know what it is we

37:11

want to do. He came into the game

37:13

already with Cox like he was like, this

37:15

is how I'm going to play him. This is how he's going to

37:18

be, you know what I mean. He knew right away

37:20

what he was doing. And I remember I was like, focus

37:23

on that guy because he seems to be already

37:25

out the gate, you know what I mean. He seems to be running already

37:28

where we're you know, getting a slow

37:30

start, he's already off and running. So focus

37:32

on him and try and match that energy that he has,

37:34

and he nobody works harder. I mean, Johnny throughout

37:37

the course of the season had those endless, really

37:39

hard to do monologues, and he would sometimes get

37:41

him the night before and he

37:44

would work so hard. I mean, this

37:46

is not a guy who ever phoned in. I don't think

37:48

Johnny ever flubbed a line in nine years.

37:50

I mean not sure he flubbed lines. Well,

37:52

I'm saying most rare, the

37:55

least often of any of us. And

37:57

he was just so on it and so he

38:00

so made it his. You know, there's a thing in acting

38:02

where you say, like I I don't want to just do it a generic

38:04

way that anyone would do it. I want to. I want to I want

38:06

to make it specific to me and make it mine.

38:09

And a lot of actors I think forced that, and so

38:11

they put all this shit onto it that isn't necessary.

38:13

They're just trying to be different, whereas some actors

38:15

just do that and as natural it feels right. And I think

38:17

Johnny's the ultimate example of that. He's someone

38:19

who all these characteristics and

38:22

all the things, the gestures, that hands on the back

38:24

of his head, the touch in his nose, like

38:26

that's all just Johnny. That's all stuff that's so

38:28

specifically him that he brought to that part, you

38:30

know, absolutely, and he stayed consistent

38:33

with it the whole time. Everything

38:35

he did, he was considered. Like we all

38:37

evolved into different

38:40

characters as the show went on. If you watched the show,

38:42

we're very you know, uh you

38:45

and I when you know it's not

38:47

as broad as the show goes on.

38:50

Johnny stayed consistent from the beginning. He

38:52

was the same level the whole

38:54

time. And you really

38:56

see it in that first scene where

38:59

he comes into the brake room and

39:01

is doing his thing, you know what I mean.

39:04

It's really interesting, you know, to go

39:06

back and watch now because when

39:08

making it, you know, I

39:10

paid attention to him specifically

39:12

because of who he was, but

39:15

to see how I evolved, to see how

39:17

you evolved, to see how Sarah evolved,

39:19

to see how you know what I mean, Judy

39:22

evolved. Yeah, it really and

39:24

all from this pilot, you know what I mean. It's

39:27

like the pilot is a tame version

39:29

of what Scrubs became. You know

39:31

what I mean. It's also there's things about it, you know. I don't

39:33

know if you noticed, but there's things that are in the pilot

39:35

that you can see both Bill and Adam Burnsteing

39:38

the director are figuring out like that we eventually

39:40

phased out like all the I

39:42

mean like there's like whip noises when

39:45

Johnny turns his head and there's like there's

39:47

little there's like way more sound effects

39:50

early on. I think in the show that they eventually toned

39:52

down. But I mean that's a digression

39:54

from Johnny. So Johnny's just amazing and people

39:56

always ask what he's like, and I say, he literally

39:59

is this inten but he's just the

40:01

most nice person you've ever met. It's just like

40:03

he's like picture that intensity of a human

40:05

being, but he's a super

40:08

sweet and nice nothing but love though

40:10

that intensity with nothing but love. And

40:12

when he shakes your hand, he puts out his hand

40:14

and goes, there's five good ones for you, meaning

40:17

his fingers. Yeah, there's five

40:19

good ones for you. Grab it and

40:21

squeeze. Yeah. He's got all sorts of

40:23

sayings, but I'll never forget there's five good ones

40:25

for you. Yeah, that one and the Amo

40:28

in that Oh yeah, he will. We'd finish it. We'd

40:30

finish a scene in. One of our editor's

40:33

names was Jean Michelle, and he'd go, I think we gave

40:35

Jean Michelle's a mammo. All

40:41

right, so let's go. The next thing I wrote down, don't know if you have anything

40:43

before this, but was the sitcom fantasy

40:45

I have where I where I with Sarah

40:48

on this? You de man?

40:51

So I don't even know what this was a sitcom must

40:53

have been on on NBC or

40:56

something, or maybe ABC, because but I

40:58

don't remember. We borrowed some Actually,

41:00

people out there might who know the sitcom might

41:03

recognize who said it is, but we just went

41:05

to an actual set and shot

41:07

the scene there because we didn't, you know, it's the pilot. Was it

41:09

like good Morning Miami or something like that

41:11

that could have been it. I don't know. It probably was a

41:14

pilot of the same of the same season,

41:16

right or something. And I remember

41:18

this was just surreal. We were in, like on a real sitcom

41:21

stage. And now, granted I have a huge crush

41:23

on Sarah and I'm doing my best to like hold

41:25

it together, and then all of a sudden,

41:27

we're doing a scene where she rips off

41:29

her top and mounts me and we make out.

41:32

Yeah, you know what, back in the day, I was like, Wow, she

41:34

ripped off her top. That's cutting edge. Now

41:36

I look at it and I'm like, oh,

41:39

whoa did she have to rip off her

41:41

top? Well, I mean I think the show

41:43

you have to look at it in the context of the year. I mean,

41:46

everybody forgets now because we have all this everything

41:48

streaming and cable and everything's

41:51

so much more risque, and you go to you

41:54

seek out whatever you watch. I mean, from

41:56

the Show Girls, the Crazy show

41:58

they would do on there, to everything and

42:00

anything that's on Netflix now. But

42:03

back in the day, you know, I think Bill was

42:05

trying to push the envelope. The show was on at nine

42:07

or nine thirty. He was trying to push the

42:09

omblope what you could do on network television. So

42:12

both with being politically

42:14

incorrected times, both with sex

42:17

with language. I mean, he was trying to

42:19

say, like, hey, network, you can compete

42:21

and be a little bit, you know, risque,

42:24

and so this for the time was pretty risque. I

42:26

mean it was there's a lot of sex

42:28

in the show. You know, it's funny. I have I'm sure you do. You have people

42:30

who go, hey, I'm I'm I'm showing my kids Scrubs

42:32

and I can't even be in the same room. It's so awkward

42:35

because it's because there was a lot of sex in the show.

42:37

No, I don't you know, I don't let my

42:39

kids watch Scrubs. Well, your kids are your kids

42:42

are too young. But I'm saying, like I got a six year old

42:44

and a four year old watching. I

42:47

didn't mean your kids. I mean, like like Matt

42:49

Tarsus, who was one of the writers, he told me that his son,

42:51

who was a teenager, was watching the show and he's like, I had to

42:53

walk out of the room. It was like watching like you

42:55

and Sarah have these sex scenes, like that episode

42:57

where we were eating pizza and we're like, hang,

43:00

okay, you

43:10

know that's that is true. Sarah

43:13

did have to take her top off. But I'm gonna

43:15

be honest with you. I think the guys on the

43:17

show, we're way more

43:19

naked than the females were on the show. You

43:21

know what I mean? Between you so

43:25

much, your body looks fierce. Thank

43:27

you, like Tay Diggs, baby, like Tay Diggs. You

43:31

know, you know funny bit of trivia. Rob Maschio,

43:33

who was often only in his banana hammock

43:35

and worked very hard to maintain that physique

43:39

do all sorts of push ups and stuff. When

43:41

the show moved from whatever season

43:43

from NBC to ABC, which is owned by Disney,

43:46

they made a rule that we could no longer film

43:48

him from the waist down when he was in his banana

43:50

hammock. Did you know that bit of trivia? I didn't

43:52

know that bit of trivia. I also, I

43:54

remember, and we'll discuss this later

43:57

on, but there were times where we were actually

43:59

really nai because it had to

44:01

be that way for the camera. Wait,

44:03

you didn't have like a sock on your penis. I

44:05

did one time. I did have a sock on my penis,

44:07

and I remember having to walk into parking lot with a

44:10

bunch of people on

44:12

my penis. Yeah, I remember. Not only that, Not only

44:14

that I had, I had also a very

44:16

big leaf, very big leaf. It was a big

44:19

leaf, first of all, a large like an over

44:21

leaf. It was like it was like a maple leaf,

44:23

like a huge maple leaf. It wasn't like one

44:25

of those thin like bamboo. No, no no, no, it wasn't like

44:27

it wasn't like a eucalyptus leaf. It was a

44:30

It was like a maple leaf. To

44:32

cover my job. No one has ever bragged

44:34

about their sexual prowess through leaf side, so

44:36

that's a first for our podcast. I do

44:38

want to say that. Um I once there's a scene

44:41

where I was dancing in front of Tara Reid and I was

44:43

supposed to be naked and

44:45

they were shooting me from behind, and so I just I

44:47

packed everything I had into a sock and

44:50

I was doing the dance in front of Tara Reid, remember

44:52

that? And then and then the sock came

44:54

off, and then I was like, what is the real

44:56

experience? There's Tara Reid just staring

44:59

at my junk. Oh

45:02

my gosh. Yeah,

45:04

Oh,

45:06

I mean, what am I gonna do? I apologized and

45:08

and all right, So we got a caller on,

45:11

wait, why are you interrupting? I want to I

45:13

just want to say that it was a tube sock. It much like your

45:15

leaf analogy. It was not it wasn't It wasn't

45:17

a dress sock. It was a you know those little those little

45:19

socks people now where they're just like go for There wasn't

45:21

an ankle sock. It was a tube sock. What do they call those

45:24

things that just go with socks?

45:25

It was a tube so it

45:27

was a tube sock. I gotta

45:29

say, we're basing your boys. It was a man

45:32

a long one, so we got a call It

45:34

was a woman's thigh high. Okay,

45:41

So I don't mean to interrupt you, Zack, but we got

45:43

a caller on. This is exciting because

45:46

I I daydreamed when we said we were going to

45:48

do this, that we should take fan questions

45:50

from all around the world, and it's really

45:52

happening. So go ahead, Donald, and I'd

45:55

like to introduce Chris to

45:58

the podcast. Chris,

46:00

how are you hi, Chris? How's it

46:02

Kellen, Guys, I'm doing well. Thank you for having me

46:04

on very first guest.

46:06

So we really want to nail this. We want to give you

46:08

the best answer to your question. That's that's ever

46:11

been given to any question throughout

46:13

the history. Okay, got you that's

46:16

here that no pressure

46:19

exactly. Um, all right, I guess

46:21

the question I'll ask you all This

46:23

one comes from a buddy of mine named Andrew. A

46:25

question about the soundtrack. I think that's

46:27

something that was such like an iconic part of the show.

46:30

Um, just across all the seasons, you introduced

46:32

so many people to so many awesome artists over

46:34

the years. Was that something was there someone

46:36

that spearheaded that did you guys just have great

46:39

taste? Like, how did you come up with this soundtrack?

46:41

It was all me, It was all Donald had

46:43

nothing to do with it. Let me just I literally had nothing

46:45

to do with it. Yeah, because at that time I was

46:47

here, Did you ever get a song

46:49

on ever? No? Because I was listening to songs like Joda

46:52

see Uh.

46:54

I was listening to you know uh songs

46:56

by Wu Tang Clan, you know what I mean.

46:59

Weren't things like that? Yeah, so D

47:02

took the music. A

47:04

matter of fact, a lot of the artists that

47:06

were on the show I was introduced

47:09

to for the first time while

47:11

watching the show. So who

47:13

who do we have on a show? Keene? All

47:15

these people I had no idea who they were, you

47:18

know what I mean? And some artists that were well known.

47:20

I just didn't listen to that type of music at the time. It

47:22

wasn't until Scrubs that all of a sudden started

47:24

listening to Indian folk rock,

47:27

you know what I mean? Yeah, I think that you know, first

47:29

of all was a lot of people. It was definitely Bill

47:31

Lawrence obviously who created the show, and his

47:33

wife Krista Miller who played Jordan,

47:36

and and myself. I think we

47:38

were the three probably the main people, but

47:40

also a lot of the writers in the writer's room. A lot of times

47:42

when it was their script, they'd go a lot

47:45

of people. But and of course the editors who would who

47:47

would you know? They the editors would get like ten

47:49

ideas and they'd be the ones to try and

47:51

and shape it to see what would work the best.

47:54

So there was a bunch of us, but um, Christi Miller

47:56

definitely did a lot of song

47:58

choosing, and I got a bunch on myself that

48:00

I'm excited about. Our

48:02

best friend, Uh,

48:05

Joshua Ding got his start really

48:08

before Scrubs. What was josh doing? He

48:10

was sleeping on my couch, was

48:12

he really? Yeah? I mean he didn't even have a job.

48:14

And he had written the song Winter, which

48:16

we played um in the episode where Breton

48:19

Frasier's character dies spoiler

48:21

and uh and yeah,

48:24

w Winter was so popular that that

48:27

it launched a career for josh and everyone

48:29

was like, what other songs do you have? And He's like, that's the only

48:31

song I've ever written, and so he had to

48:33

like frantically make an album. Yeah.

48:36

I remember going to watch him at

48:38

two concerts with like me,

48:41

Zach my girlfriend at the time,

48:43

Zach's girlfriend at the time, and that was it.

48:46

Yeah, and now he sells out, you

48:48

know, he does. He does really really well.

48:51

Um, so that's it. It was a lot of fun, you know

48:53

it. I think Bill was early on

48:55

in putting music at the you know, now

48:57

it's become very popular and very

49:00

common to sort of end your

49:02

episode of TV with an

49:05

emotional piece of music and then cut

49:07

around in a montage and watch

49:09

how everyone, you know, what they learned from the

49:11

episode. And I think Bill

49:13

was at the forefront of doing that definitely,

49:16

because you know now now it's pretty

49:18

commonplace. But I think Scrubs was kind of one of the first

49:20

shows to do that, you know. I like to think

49:23

The Wonder Years was, Yeah,

49:25

he would be was a was an early version

49:28

of what single camera

49:30

comedy. I mean, mash obviously, but The

49:33

Wonder Years really took

49:35

its the time that it was in and

49:38

use the music of that time to help tell

49:40

the story. And Scrubs

49:43

I feel like it's the next thing to do that.

49:45

And then yeah, and Alan McBeal also

49:48

Ally mcbell. I think Bill would say that. I remember

49:50

the show, Ally mcbell, they cut a way to cut away

49:52

to wacky shit. I mean, I think Scrubs

49:54

meets Scrubs is sort of Ally mcbell

49:56

meets Mash meets Wonder Years. Right,

49:59

all right, do we answer your question? Yeah? That

50:01

was awesome, Thank you so much. Do you have another one? We'll

50:03

give you another one. Yeah, we'll give you another question.

50:05

All right, I've got a two part question. It's

50:08

kind of common knowledge now that the Janitor wasn't

50:10

supposed to make a past season one. He was supposed to

50:12

be a figment of Jad's imagination. Yeah,

50:15

so two part or here one, how

50:17

was that supposed to be written in? How is it going to come

50:19

to be known that the janitor was, you know,

50:22

just a figment of the imagination. And then the second

50:24

part of that is is there any plotline that

50:26

didn't come to fruition that you really wish did?

50:29

Yeah? I know that, but wait, I just want to say we're

50:31

gonna have Bill on for everyone. Bill

50:33

will probably our first guest because he

50:35

can answer all sorts of questions

50:37

about what his plan was for the writing

50:39

and such. But I do remember that Neil Flynn.

50:42

First of all, I was going to talk about this when we got to Neil

50:44

in the pilot. But Neil was supposed to just have a

50:46

small part. He wasn't. Bill wasn't

50:48

even intending that he was going to be in the show beyond the

50:50

pilot or maybe a few episodes. But

50:52

he was so hilarious that Bill

50:55

just kept adding him and adding him and adding him,

50:57

and to the point where he was one

51:00

became one of the stars of the show. And Neil is

51:02

a hilarious improvisational actor, and

51:05

so a lot of times he would just make up his own

51:07

line throughout the whole run of the show. And in fact,

51:09

it got to a point where and sometimes in the script it would

51:11

just say like and then Neil makes up something funny

51:13

like it wouldn't even have a line for him,

51:16

because Nia was just so gifted

51:18

and hilarious. Well, that whole scene was, that

51:20

whole scene improved with you and

51:22

him. The penny

51:24

in the door was all written. But I'm saying, like right

51:27

off the bat, everybody could tell like, this guy Neil

51:29

Flynn is really funny, and he's got to be more in the show.

51:31

And you know, Bill would kind of try

51:34

people out, and when they killed it, he'd keep using

51:36

him, you know, just like you like all the people that fans

51:38

grew to love, like you know, Phil Lewis

51:40

Hooch, Like we'd all thought he was so

51:43

freaking hilarious. We just kept putting him in the show whenever

51:45

we could. So anyway, long story

51:47

short, if you I think throughout

51:49

season one the janitor only addresses

51:52

me if I'm not mistaken. So so

51:55

Bill kind of had the idea, like, oh my god,

51:57

if this doesn't go too long, it might be

51:59

funny to do a big reveal that the janitor

52:02

is totally in in uh

52:04

in Jad's imagination. But then how crazy

52:06

would that have made? J d though you would have been

52:08

like a freaking psycho dude. You

52:11

would have look at look at nine years of

52:13

wacky fantasies, remember when you were a goat. Yeah,

52:15

dude, but it was a fantasy. These were

52:17

fantasies. If if you actually

52:20

had somebody that you an imaginary

52:22

friend that you talked to and would talk back

52:24

to you, and you're a

52:26

doctor, I

52:29

know, I think it could have been cool. But but anyway, the point

52:31

was that the show kept going and Bill. I remember

52:33

Bill. I heard Bill say like, I had to, I had to have

52:35

this guy interact with other people because it was like, you know,

52:38

and then it became you know, he wanted to. I

52:40

think fans also wanted to see the character

52:42

of the Janitor interact with people, although

52:44

you never knew his name or did you name

52:47

is Janitor or was it Glenn Matthews? Did

52:49

we answer the second part of the question, Oh,

52:52

storylines? Um, we did. We did a medicinal

52:54

marijuana um long before it's time.

52:57

We did a medicinal marijuana plot

52:59

line and start shooting it and then

53:01

the studio told Bill to shut it down.

53:05

Yeah, it's funny because of course, now marijuana

53:08

is legal in California and so many other

53:10

places. Well, it had just remember

53:12

it had just started becoming legal

53:14

at the time when we're fi.

53:18

Yeah, I remember, I do remember that because

53:20

there were a lot of people that were smoking

53:23

weed. Wow, we probably shouldn't bring

53:25

that up in the In the first episode of this, let's get to

53:27

how high everybody was in future episodes were a

53:29

tease something I'm just saying that was

53:31

a tease. Okay, in future episodes,

53:34

Donald will out people for who was Big Twin.

53:36

All right, thank you Chris. We're

53:38

gonna thank

53:41

you Chris, thanks for being our first guest.

53:49

That would be so funny. That would be so funny

53:51

if that's how we did it. In

53:53

that scene, he's high.

53:56

I think you need to come clean. When we get two

53:58

scenes where you were baked, that'll be like

54:00

the whole series run. Okay, great? Um,

54:03

how long into the series did you stop memorizing

54:06

your lines? H

54:10

D. We'll

54:14

talk about that in future episodes to come

54:16

as well. Oh, I wanted to say, um,

54:19

the scene with Johnny in the in the in the lounge, Um,

54:21

with the with the woman that that was my audition

54:24

scene where Johnny comes in with the

54:26

woman he says is dead and he's telling

54:28

me to throw tile in all her face. That was one of

54:30

the main I think one of the three scenes

54:32

that I auditioned with. What was your audition scenes? Do

54:34

you remember My audition scene was

54:36

I'm really scared. I'm

54:39

so happy that I get to wear a surgical masks

54:41

a mask because if I

54:43

didn't have it on, my face would look like this. And

54:45

then I make the scared face. Yeah,

54:48

that was one of my audition scenes. And

54:50

then and did you improv I

54:52

love you? Or is that in the script? No, we improv

54:55

that. Bill came up to me. It was like telling me you love him at

54:57

the end. That was funny and I was like, what

54:59

he just say it and then laugh when you are And

55:01

then Lonnie, by the way, everyone that's Lonnie's

55:03

playing. Lonnie's playing the pizza

55:05

delivery. I had no idea that was him

55:08

until watching the pilot. So Lonnie

55:10

Lonnie exists. It's is one of the few people

55:12

that exists as two different characters in the Scrubs

55:14

universe. I feel like it's three different characters.

55:16

But yeah, okay, why there's Lonnie,

55:19

there's pizza delivery guy? And

55:21

who was a was Lonnie also the guy that played

55:23

basketball? I don't remember. Okay,

55:25

anyway, scrubstns won't answer for us. But

55:27

yeah, that was very funny. I love that when you say I love

55:29

you, he looks. We both look at you, like what

55:35

UM say it to you all the time. And this

55:37

scene also, the woman was

55:39

supposed to be really dead, and I

55:41

remember the network pushed back against Bill

55:44

and said, no, you can't have her really

55:46

genuinely pushing around a dead woman. Um, you

55:49

have to have her at the end go I'm not really dead. So

55:52

that was a rewrite forced by the network because Bill

55:54

thought it was funny if he really was just pushing around

55:56

a corpse. Very funny too. I want

55:58

to talk about Ken Jenkins second, Yes,

56:01

because I feel like he was the MVP of our show,

56:03

you know what I mean? Yeah, in so

56:06

many ways, like, uh,

56:08

it's really difficult to be

56:11

on a show with such a huge

56:13

ensemble cast where everyone is

56:15

likable, from the lead all

56:18

the way down to the guest stars.

56:20

Everyone's likable. I

56:22

think the hardest part, the

56:25

hardest person to play in all of that would

56:27

be the bad guy, you know what I mean. And

56:30

he made it so that the bad guy you

56:32

didn't like him, but you still

56:35

loved him, you know what I mean. And

56:38

I felt like he was literally the MVP.

56:41

Him and Judy Rays actually were the MVPs

56:43

of the show because Judy had to tackle

56:46

all of the dramatic stuff, you know what I mean, Her

56:48

character felt everything. She was the nurse,

56:51

she was the mother of the hospital. And

56:54

Ken Jenkins, his character

56:56

was the evil dad or the you know what

56:58

I mean the grandpa who was

57:00

just over it all and was like, I just you

57:03

know, I want

57:05

this hospital to make money. We're broke, and

57:08

all that matters is if their insurance is going

57:10

to pay for it. If it's if they're not, get

57:13

them out of here because we're I we're

57:15

broke. We got no dough. And

57:17

I thought to make those

57:19

two to make that character lovable

57:22

is a really really, really hard thing

57:24

to do, and he did it effortlessly,

57:26

it seemed like in my eyes. And uh,

57:29

and same thing with Judy, you know what I mean. Judy

57:31

would played the role that uh

57:34

was definitely needed in this band of

57:36

misfits. She played this character that

57:38

was uh

57:40

just motherly and UH took

57:43

care of you know, Bamby came from that.

57:46

That's that that stuck throughout

57:48

the whole show. You being called Bambi.

57:50

Yeah, I noticed that. Her very first line that comes

57:53

out of her mouth is calling me Bamby. I didn't I didn't

57:55

know that. It's I didn't remember that, but that stuck

57:57

for the whole run of the show. And of course

58:00

will still call me that on the street when I'm past them.

58:02

Um, but her very first line

58:04

is calling me Bambi, Yeah, you know what I mean. And

58:06

it was it was just we knew

58:08

what we were there to do. We're here to be funny, and

58:11

we're here to make everybody laugh, and

58:13

you know, and and at times we're going

58:15

to get dramatic and everything like that. But

58:17

Judy and Ken had the tough

58:20

roles. In my opinion, you knew Judy

58:22

was supposed to make everybody feel safe. Ken

58:25

was supposed to make everybody feel anger,

58:28

you know what I mean, in this in this crazy

58:30

world. And they did it so perfectly. And

58:32

and Ken had a lot of the you know, social commentary

58:34

that Bill was trying to get in there about how fucked up

58:36

the healthcare system is and how how

58:38

how fucked up it is that hospitals are like

58:41

no insurance, get him out of here, like you

58:43

know, what do you like right away in the pilot.

58:46

Of course, these issues are so relevant today

58:48

more than ever. But right away in the pilot you

58:51

have them going, look, I don't care that

58:53

you know nothing. Let me tell you a couple of things. If they don't

58:55

have insurance, get them out of here, and

58:58

uh and and and and Bill geniusly

59:00

found a way to make that. Of

59:02

course, Ken Jenkins as an actor. Together,

59:05

they found a way to make that character so lovable

59:07

even though he was a he was

59:09

the antagonist. Yeah,

59:11

I want to talk about thirteen minutes in thirty

59:13

eight seconds. I'm looking at a still of you making out

59:15

with Judy reyes um And

59:17

and Todd in the frame I have up. Todd

59:20

is watching because it's part of the fantasy. Why

59:24

so, what was it like? You know, I think people who aren't

59:27

actors are always curious what it's like when you meet someone. Hey,

59:29

nice to meet you, and then all of a sudden you have to just go do a fake makeout

59:31

scene with that. I feel like that was the first day I met Judy

59:33

too, and really, yeah, I feel like that

59:36

was our first scene together

59:38

and I hadn't you know, I remember

59:41

me. I don't remember Neil at the table

59:43

read. I don't remember Judy,

59:46

I don't remember Ken at the table read. I remember

59:48

me, you, Johnny and Sarah

59:51

for some reason. And so when we

59:53

did the makeout

59:56

scene, I feel like that was my I know, it's not

59:58

the first day I met her, but that's my first

1:00:00

real memory of Judy, you know what

1:00:02

I mean? And I remember she smoked cigarettes right

1:00:05

before the scene, and I was like, Ah,

1:00:08

that's a power move, that's a power move.

1:00:10

That's how you do But I realized

1:00:13

that's how you do it. If you're gonna

1:00:15

make out with somebody, make it so they

1:00:17

gotta work, and not make it so

1:00:19

it's them having a great time making

1:00:22

out. No, this is a job, dude. This isn't.

1:00:24

This isn't This isn't you getting

1:00:26

your rocks off while we're doing this scene. It's

1:00:28

funny to think about someone smoking, like I

1:00:31

mean, I don't do you know any I mean, it's rare

1:00:33

to see anyone smoking cigarettes at all anymore.

1:00:36

Oh no, there are a lot of people

1:00:38

that still smoke cigarettes. Not vaping has turned

1:00:40

into the worst vaping

1:00:43

of course. But just the idea

1:00:45

that Judy was, I guess a smoker when we started,

1:00:47

right, I was a smoker

1:00:50

when we started. I smoke started and

1:00:52

Neil was always a smoker. Yeah,

1:00:54

when we started doing the show, I

1:00:56

think a lot of us smoked cigarette. I mean in

1:00:59

the cast maybe you, Sarah and Johnny

1:01:01

and Ken didn't, but everyone else did. Yeah,

1:01:03

I didn't remember that. And then us doing

1:01:06

the kissing stuff and then watching

1:01:08

the episode and none of that made the show.

1:01:10

Really, all it is is me, we're

1:01:13

kind of cuddled up together. We're

1:01:15

kind of cuddled up together, and

1:01:18

and Rob's over us watching. But

1:01:20

I remember doing the scene if feeling way

1:01:23

more intimate than that, you know what I mean, way

1:01:25

more you know what I mean, and then watching

1:01:27

it being like, oh, they didn't use any other other good

1:01:29

stuff, right, Well it's a really

1:01:32

quick moment. And I love that she's I love that you're naked,

1:01:34

and she's like, all right, thanks, I'm out. I thought

1:01:36

that was a cool like introduction of her character.

1:01:39

She was like, and I also and I also liked

1:01:41

that your imagination was me

1:01:43

scoring right in reality

1:01:46

the real what really happened was I got

1:01:48

played and then got turned into you

1:01:51

know, I got you know, I stripped down

1:01:53

for someone, right, And she was

1:01:55

like she got you know, she just wanted to make out with someone

1:01:57

and be like later and she like she was like

1:01:59

she kind of like used you, whereas in

1:02:01

my imagination you were using her where right?

1:02:04

Yeah? That was clever. Yeah. Um, I wanted

1:02:06

to quote talk about that it's going backwards,

1:02:08

but that deer in headlight thing, I still have

1:02:10

the foam antlers. Uh Um,

1:02:13

I'm staring at them right now, um from

1:02:16

that fantasy where I'm imagine I'm a deer

1:02:18

in headlights. And and what we had to do

1:02:20

was they backed the macup, the big

1:02:23

semi, right up to my face. And

1:02:25

the idea was for the truck

1:02:27

would floor it in reverse and

1:02:30

and then we play and then we'd play

1:02:32

it backwards right so it looked like it was hit and then

1:02:34

of course it hit a mannequin too, but for this one shot.

1:02:36

And I remember standing there with my face against the

1:02:38

grill of a Mac truck and being

1:02:41

like leaning out to the driver, being like

1:02:43

you sure it's in reverse? Right, Like

1:02:46

like there had to be some OSHA rule against

1:02:48

that, but I but I was like standing

1:02:50

there going if this dude, Like I don't want to cause any waves

1:02:52

or anything, but I just want to double check you're in reverse.

1:02:57

We have finally saving a life. Oh we have

1:02:59

a Loma. We should about a looma right, the beautiful and

1:03:01

talented Aloma right who played Nurse Roberts.

1:03:03

Nurse Roberts, who who whose

1:03:06

introduction in the show is you

1:03:09

know amazing? Can you just call

1:03:11

him so I can go home? Please? Yeah? Can you just

1:03:13

call She's so good?

1:03:15

And and Aloma was one of the again another

1:03:17

example of someone who Bill just loved

1:03:19

and thought was so talented, and she you know, ended

1:03:21

up being in the whole show until

1:03:24

he eventually killed her off, felt bad and brought

1:03:26

her back as her twin sister, which we'll get to that and

1:03:28

later after lavernadcast Lavern

1:03:30

again, I'm gonna

1:03:32

call you Laverne again. So

1:03:36

we were thinking of like trying to summarize

1:03:38

what the lesson of the episode was, But I mean, I think

1:03:40

the episode, the lesson of the of the pilot was

1:03:43

basically the theme song, which

1:03:45

is I can't do this all on my own, right. I mean, it's

1:03:47

the introduction of

1:03:50

how difficult it is to be a

1:03:53

doctor in a hospital and how

1:03:56

the medical staff at a hospital really depends

1:03:58

on each there to

1:04:01

work. Yeah, and I think I think, I

1:04:03

mean, I don't think it's a big leap to say that

1:04:05

a lot of people related to the show because they

1:04:08

can see that on their own lives and how you

1:04:10

turn to your friends and your family. I mean, I think the

1:04:12

show can be, as we all know, can be very very heartwarming,

1:04:15

and that was what builded so geniusly,

1:04:17

was how it'd be so funny and crazy and silly

1:04:19

and fantasies and everything, and then all of a sudden

1:04:22

you can turn a corner and you're losing a patient like I

1:04:24

did at the end, or or or

1:04:26

or you see that our friendship is so pure,

1:04:29

is still solid, also conquering

1:04:33

fear, you know what I mean. JD

1:04:36

was so afraid to do everything. As a matter of fact,

1:04:38

him and Elliot hide in a closet

1:04:41

at one point and U doctor

1:04:43

Cox catches them doing it and

1:04:45

understands why they are afraid. But

1:04:48

then at the end of the show, still gives JD

1:04:51

the confidence to

1:04:54

perform whatever it is you did

1:04:56

with the tube and the blood and all of that stuff,

1:04:59

something that you know, JD was

1:05:01

very afraid of, and UH

1:05:04

made him feel like he was going

1:05:06

to be okay, and he was, and

1:05:08

he had a support group around him.

1:05:10

Yeah, And I think that's it. That's that's

1:05:13

the pilot. I think we just we just did it. We did

1:05:15

our first podcast. I love you and I

1:05:18

1:07:04

is a big success. Because for us this

1:07:06

was I don't know about you, Donald, but this was a lot of fun. I kind

1:07:09

of don't want to stop talking, but I feel like, oh, absolutely

1:07:11

should. This was actually the you know, I

1:07:13

talk about Clueless as the jump off point

1:07:16

in my life where I was introduced

1:07:18

to the industry and I learned a

1:07:20

lot of things. But Scrubs was really

1:07:23

like the you know, that was the thing that

1:07:25

took it over the top for me as an actor,

1:07:27

where I had an actual job where I was able

1:07:29

to you know, pay my rent and

1:07:32

I built a family because I was

1:07:34

able to be a part of this wonderful show.

1:07:36

So you know, I owe a

1:07:39

lot to use Zach, I owe a lot to Bill

1:07:41

Lawrence. I owe a lot to the

1:07:43

cast and the crew of this of Scrubs.

1:07:46

So I'm really excited to talk about it with fans

1:07:49

who enjoyed the experiences

1:07:51

that we had. Yeah, and as always, I agree

1:07:53

1:07:55
