00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Scrubs, Season ten, episode seven, My Best

2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Friend's Barbecue. Original air date April first, at twenty twenty six. Hello,

3
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm Johnny Mac. I loved this episode. No sorry, the

4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>recap is out a little late. With the Easter weekend

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and the family was over. We didn't get to this

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>until Sunday night, and on Monday we play Comedy Survivor,

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 1>so I don't want to put out three episodes in

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 1>one day. So here you go. Season ten, episode seven,

9
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>My Best Friend's Barbecue. While JD is upset not to

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>be invited to Turk and Carla's annual barbecue, JD takes

11
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to nurture whose friendship with Carla. Meanwhile, Turk

12
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>teaches the surgical interns how to deliver bad news. This

13
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>one gave me all the feels. With one asterisk, You've

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 1>got great JD and Churk. We really see how important

15
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>to the dynamic the Carla character is. Judy rays to

16
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 1>the ensemble. Hopefully this show gets picked up. We'll talk

17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>about that and she'll be in hopefully all the episodes

18
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>of season two. But boy, when she's back, you realize

19
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>what a huge part of the ensemble. She is. Let's

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>deep dive on the plot a little bit. JD is

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>talking about doctor face and how sometimes you have to

22
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>give bad news to patients. That's one of the themes of

23
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the episode. He explains how his doctor face has gotten

24
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>better over the years and nothing can rattle him until

25
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>he learns he's not invited to Turk's barbecue. Apparently he's

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>been going to Turk's barbecue every year. This year, he's

27
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>not invited. JD asks why, and Churk tells him that

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Carla wants to invite Elliott and Elliott's new boyfriend, Captain

29
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Wes over this year. JD asks best friend Turk to

30
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 1>fight for him. Churk says he's not strong enough because

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Carla is going through menopause. One of the themes throughout

32
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the episode is how warm Carla is and how she's

33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>always trying to cool off. I can't tell you why

34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I found that really really funny. Let's just leave it there.

35
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Move on, John, that's right, Elliott tells Carla. She and

36
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Wes are excited about the barbecue. He's bringing something called

37
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Pilot's Booty. West explains that's first class warmnuts mixed with

38
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>coach pretzels. Carla gets at a quick jokes that says

39
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you can just bring ice, which cracked me up. My

40
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>wife missed the joke and I was like, that was

41
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>really good. Now we have a subplot with a patient

42
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>who is drinking a lot of ranch dressing that really

43
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>goes nowhere. The other plot is Turk telling Deshauna she

44
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>has to tell the Garcia family that their loved one

45
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>has passed away. She says, I'm not good at this,

46
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>and Turk says, and this is one of the clutch

47
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>moments of the episode. You're just like me. And we

48
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>see a couple of times Turk reflecting about his cocky

49
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>younger self and that is something I do all the time,

50
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 1>but for years been self aware that boy, you were

51
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a punk ass kid in your twenties when you first

52
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>got in a radio and over years, although I knew

53
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>it at the time, when is it serious? I could

54
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>be an a hole. I used to say to my

55
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>office mate, I hate this person who sits here with

56
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>you every day. The series brought out the worst in me,

57
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>so I was relating to everything Turk was giving. Here.

58
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>The younger cast, they all have their various adventures, all

59
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the little subplots are fine, but I want to stick

60
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>with the senior cast. Carla gets mad she finds out

61
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that JD has cut back her patient load. Turk goes

62
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to see Carla, asks how she's doing. Carla says, your

63
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>wife is dead and some agent incompetent witch has taken

64
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>her place. The job was always hard, but it was fun.

65
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Now it's just hard. I can't keep up. Turk says, finally,

66
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You've always been smarter than me and stronger than me,

67
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>but you always at my back. Now I get to

68
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>be there for you. JD pops up out of nowhere

69
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and says you two will always have each other, but

70
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I might die alone. Carla says, you're still not coming

71
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to the barbecue. This all wraps up at the end.

72
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Carla's telling JD. If I keep inviting into things so

73
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you can be comfortable, you're never going to grow. She says,

74
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I can read your doctor's face. You're scared, and if

75
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I keep caddling you, you'll never be able to move

76
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>on from Eliot, and we get some reflection back to

77
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>the days of when he was bamby. She mentions, I

78
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 1>was here on your first day and it just really

79
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 1>really is awesome. So we'll take the break here, we'll

80
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>come back, we'll talk a little more Scrubs. The episode

81
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>got a three point zero four million viewers, which sounds

82
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>like a lot for a modern television but in the

83
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>time slot it finished third. Chicago Med won the half

84
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>hour Survivor was second. However, in the eighteen to forty

85
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 1>nine demo, which is where the money is, Chicago Med

86
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>drops down and it was Survivor then Scrubs. I do

87
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>think at three million viewers they will renew this thing.

88
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of surprised they haven't yet. I thought it

89
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>was the best episode of new Scrubs yet, very funny,

90
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>very touching. The character beats were all on point except one.

91
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>The newer characters are all fine, Like when they come on,

92
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>they're just fine. You're not like, oh I get rid

93
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>of these people. They're fine. I do think the show

94
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't know what to do with Elliott. The Scrubs has

95
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>always been focused on JD except for the d Ken

96
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and I season nine, but the Elliott character seems like

97
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>she's just kind of out there on her own show.

98
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's got the boyfriend now, but as one

99
00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 1>of the big three they're gonna have to figure out

100
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>how Elliott fits into all of this. I don't think

101
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>her arc is working yet. We see what I mentioned

102
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>this in the beginning, what an important player Judy rays

103
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>as Carla is, and again the nice emotional callbacks to

104
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>when JD was Bambi. And as I was watching it

105
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 1>after the episode, because I'm a big sap, I said

106
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 1>to my wife, how weird is it that twenty five

107
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>years have gone by and here we are back to

108
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 1>an empty house because the kids are home for the weekend,

109
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and then they left, we put on Scrubs. Here we

110
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 1>are twenty five years later, it's just the two of

111
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>us again, and we're watching the same show. Screen Ran wrote,

112
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>There's never been any doubt in Scrubs that Carla is

113
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a badass nurse, and no one knows it more than

114
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>she does. However, in season ten we see here slowly

115
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>losing that confidence. It becomes clear in Scrub season ten,

116
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>episode seven that Carla still struggles with one of the

117
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>same challenges as in the original series. She wants to

118
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>be everyone else's rock, but isn't quite willing to accept

119
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>help herself, just as JD learned to look to Carla

120
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>for help back in the day. Carla learns in this

121
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Scrubs episode that it's okay to let Bambi help her out.

122
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>While JD looked to doctor Cox as a Carlo was

123
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 1>his true guiding force in the hospital. Over the years,

124
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the relationship shifted, and both JD and Carla found they

125
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>could be themselves around each other in ways they couldn't

126
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>even with Turk or Elliot. It's relief that the Scrub's

127
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>revival has recaptured this dynamic after all these years, and

128
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 1>it's especially impressive since Judy Rays isn't a primary cast

129
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>member on the new series. Scrub Season ten, episode seven,

130
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>my favorite of the new season. If you are enjoying this,

131
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 1>stay the heck off Scrubs read it. Some maniac posted

132
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 1>something in the headline I'm not even gonna dance with

133
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the Devil. I'm just gonna tell you. I saw a headline.

134
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, come on, dude, there was no reason

135
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 1>to put that in the headline. We have a word.

136
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>It's called spoiler. What are you doing? So? We have

137
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 1>two episodes left in season ten and again, ABC, what

138
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>are we doing here? Let me do one last quick here?

139
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they picked it up as I'm recording. Quick Google

140
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of Scrubs Nope, not yet has a record this on

141
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning. I need more of this. It's really good

142
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's just it's hitting a warm spot in my

143
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>life than nostals are point. I feel like these people

144
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>are from and their characters and their back and if

145
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they can get another season and work some more people

146
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>into the ensemble, we're back into the ensemble. I think

147
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>it'd be great and the new characters are fine, and boy,

148
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 1>please keep this thing going. I like Scrubs. See you

149
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 1>in the morning.
