Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media Scrub, Season ten, episode five, My Angel
Speaker 1: Original air day, March eighteenth, twenty twenty six. Hi, I'm
Speaker 1: Johnny Mack and I was freaking out because I couldn't
Speaker 1: find the session that I use for the Scrubs episodes.
Speaker 1: I use the same template every week. You know, it's
Speaker 1: got the music that you hear fading behind my voice
Speaker 1: there and it makes my life a littleisia. And I
Speaker 1: couldn't find it. And the reason I couldn't find it
Speaker 1: is I have now discovered this session is called Scubs.
Speaker 1: That's why I wasn't coming up in search. I liked
Speaker 1: this episode a lot. It was the first of the
Speaker 1: reboots that my wife and I watched separately. She was
Speaker 1: doing something earlier and gave me the go ahead to
Speaker 1: go watch it. She texted me around ten o'clock and
Speaker 1: was like, was Scrubs good? Yes, it was good. I
Speaker 1: was very enthusiastic about this one. Not the funniest episode
Speaker 1: of all time, but I really like the character beats
Speaker 1: and even the newer characters. They're you know, they're finding
Speaker 1: their own the are figuring out what this version of
Speaker 1: Scrubs is still not renewed, What is going on there.
Speaker 1: All right, Here's what happens. JD is ready to start
Speaker 1: dating again. Turk is telling him to get back out there,
Speaker 1: and JD runs into Lily, who plays Harp in the lobby.
Speaker 1: They hit it off. The chemistry's booming. JD wants to
Speaker 1: go for it, and Turk's like, yo, time out. You're
Speaker 1: the chief of medicine. You can't date employees. Good advice
Speaker 1: from Turk. Plus, we all know that Doctor Park played
Speaker 1: by Joelkim Booster, whose character is back this week. I
Speaker 1: like that character. It's kind of poor man's Doctor Cox.
Speaker 1: He speaks to the interns the same way Cox did,
Speaker 1: but he also wants to take down JD because JD
Speaker 1: has the job that Doctor Park wants. So he's a
Speaker 1: good antagonist. And I'd like Joel Kim Booster since I
Speaker 1: saw him. I think it was twenty fifteen in New
Speaker 1: Phases in Montreal, so I like Joel Anyway, Turk's like,
Speaker 1: you can't go there. The two have a little bit
Speaker 1: of chemistry. Turk's saying no, no, no, But then Turk
Speaker 1: finds out she's a volunteer and there's no rules against
Speaker 1: dating a volunteer, so he calls JD up and gives
Speaker 1: JD the green light. JD and lil are at a
Speaker 1: date at Lloyd's Tevern. Now, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: actually been called Lloyd's Tavern on screen yet. I know
Speaker 1: in the articles and the interviews the creators told us
Speaker 1: that they named it Lloyd's Tavern, But has that actually
Speaker 1: been said? Maybe I missed it. JD orders an apple teeny.
Speaker 1: Lily tells JD the deal. We're having one drink and
Speaker 1: then we're having sex. They go back to her place
Speaker 1: and we find out that I'll describe it the way
Speaker 1: did you watch How I Make Your Mother? Barney talked
Speaker 1: about the hot crazy scale. We find out that Lily
Speaker 1: is above the line. Lily throws JD onto her bed
Speaker 1: and asks him a choker. JD's like, it's a little nun,
Speaker 1: It's not really my thing. He looks to the side
Speaker 1: of the bed and he sees a pizza box, and
Speaker 1: that triggers a flashback. And this is the creator's nailing
Speaker 1: this understanding what this show is understanding the characters. The
Speaker 1: pizza box triggers a flashback to season one episode fifteen,
Speaker 1: My Bed, Banter and Beyond, and in season one episode fifteen,
Speaker 1: JD and Elliott are in bed eating pizza. It becomes
Speaker 1: clear JD's not ready to date again. He's not over Elliot.
Speaker 1: The voiceover tells us I was lying here beneath this
Speaker 1: beautiful woman, and I actually felt nothing. Next we see
Speaker 1: him riding shotgun in a car. He says, sorry about this.
Speaker 1: It's just the last time he was with somebody, and
Speaker 1: we met something and I after a divorce, and now
Speaker 1: guys are supposed to go out and hook up like crazy,
Speaker 1: but I think I need a little time. We find
Speaker 1: out the person he's apologizing to isn't Lily, it's Turk,
Speaker 1: who picked him up. As bros, do code of the guys.
Speaker 1: If your buddy calls you and goes I need a ride,
Speaker 1: don't ask questions, just do it. Meanwhile, Elliott had her
Speaker 1: own plot. There's a patient who needs a new liver.
Speaker 1: Elliott's trying to help her with that. We get into
Speaker 1: the medicine part of the show. In the end, the
Speaker 1: new liver arrives delivered by an organ transplant pilot of
Speaker 1: some sort, and he happens to be a good looking fellow,
Speaker 1: and we see that Elliott thinks he's good looking and
Speaker 1: they walk off together, and who happens to be coming
Speaker 1: down the hall at that moment, JD, and he sees
Speaker 1: Elliott being into another dude, and we see that JD
Speaker 1: looks sad, just a wonderful All the emotional beats really
Speaker 1: good in this episode. As Elliott walks down the hall
Speaker 1: with the pilot, we hear JD's Now, only the heart
Speaker 1: knows when it's ready to let someone in again, But
Speaker 1: sometimes the heart just needs a little more time to heal.
Speaker 1: Sarah Chalk was on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast Fun Fact. Michael
Speaker 1: Rosenbaum was my intern. Now I haven't seen Michael since
Speaker 1: he was my intern, but we have a mutual friend
Speaker 1: and Michael claims to remember me. I don't know. He
Speaker 1: was Mike the Intern. But here's the thing I always
Speaker 1: remember about Mike the Intern. He was always going to
Speaker 1: go to Hollywood. He would talk about it when I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, can you make copies of Today's rundown.
Speaker 1: He was on a mission to go to Hollywood and
Speaker 1: become an actor, and he did it. So I respect
Speaker 1: Mike the Intern aka Michael Rosenbaum, whose guest was Sarah Chalk,
Speaker 1: who plays Elliot on Scrubs. She talked about the new
Speaker 1: set and said it was quite surreal stepping onto the set,
Speaker 1: first of all, stepping onto a set where you spent
Speaker 1: your entire twenties and then you're stepping on twenty five
Speaker 1: years later. I can't quite explain what that felt like,
Speaker 1: especially since we shot in this abandoned hospital in the
Speaker 1: valley and that got torn down and now they've rebuilt
Speaker 1: the sets, and we knew that was happening, but we
Speaker 1: kind of thought, ah, it'd be pretty accurate, like maybe
Speaker 1: there'd be sixty seventy percent like sets were, and they
Speaker 1: were exactly the same, like to a t, everything was identical.
Speaker 1: It felt like this weird kind of time warp because
Speaker 1: it's the same character, the same people on the exact
Speaker 1: same set in the writing, and I had kind of
Speaker 1: thought it was going to take him ant a step
Speaker 1: back into it. What was weird was how natural it felt.
Speaker 1: It's part of your cells, it's part of your bones,
Speaker 1: that's the inside of you. Podcast often to grab that
Speaker 1: one and then this really doesn't have anything to do
Speaker 1: with Scrubs, but I couldn't get it into the regular podcast.
Speaker 1: During the week, it's been a pretty busy week, So
Speaker 1: why don't I do it here? Zach Braff has denied
Speaker 1: he's in a relationship with an AI. Yeah, exactly. This
Speaker 1: keeps coming up, and Zach now took to Instagram to
Speaker 1: deny that he is in a relationship with an AI,
Speaker 1: specifically an AI chatbot, which Zach Braf is not involved with.
Speaker 1: Apparently it turned up on one of these gossip websites.
Speaker 1: Zach said, I had no idea until tonight because I'm
Speaker 1: not on TikTok that these folks were the origin of this.
Speaker 1: I felt like now is a good time to be
Speaker 1: kind of the people. You would think that would make
Speaker 1: it go away. But the denial of a romantic involvement
Speaker 1: with an AI chatbot has been covered by Cosmopolitan, The Cut, BuzzFeed, People,
Speaker 1: Just Jared, Entertainment Weekly, Page six, The Independent, The Rap,
Speaker 1: USA Today, The Sun, Hello Magazine, Metro, The New York
Speaker 1: Daily News, dek Stero, The Daily Mirror, Vulture, Gizmoto, and
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News. So to be clear, Zach Braff is
Speaker 1: not dating an AI chatbot. Scrubs episode five, I liked
Speaker 1: it a lot back in the morning with a normal
Speaker 1: episode
