00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shock Media. Scrubs, Season seven, Episode four, My Poker Phase.

2
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Original air date March eleventh, twenty twenty six. Hello, I'm

3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Mack and can we cut to the chase. Of

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the four episodes we've seen so far, I think this

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>one was the fourth best. Not too many laughs. I

6
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>think I went through act one without snickering at all.

7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>It's good to hang out with the old friends again.

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't see much comedy there until we got

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to a scene where we learned JD's new roommate is Chewbacca.

10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That might have been a fantasy sequence, but that got

11
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a bonafide laugh out of me and the wife, as

12
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>did a couple flashbacks to Turk doing the Macarena with

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>retro hair. Those were funny, but most of the episode

14
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 1>not too many laughs there. The plot, JD organizes a

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>poker night with Turk to recapture old times. Meanwhile, medical

16
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>and surgical entrance compete and Elliott deals with a patient

17
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with social media. That patient played by Matt Rife.

18
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Did you notice that that was Matt Rife? It bothered

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>some people on the Internet. Now, hopefully the AI isn't

20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>hallucinating here. I asked it to generate a scene by

21
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>scene summary and I'll see if my memory still works.

22
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>So we open up with JD narrating about how doctors

23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>often hide but they're really thinking that goes with the

24
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>theme of poker Face, and we learned some things about

25
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>some of our fellow cast members during the episode. Okay,

26
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>JD suggests that they bring back Poker Night to recreate

27
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>the bond they had earlier in their careers. Turk is

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>all excited because Carlo is going to be out and

29
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the daughters are at softball, and Turk Scott four hours

30
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to himself, so he's like, yeah, I'm in. Meanwhile, the

31
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>medical interns and the surgical interns are competing against each

32
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>other around the hospital. At some point, JD and Turk

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>get involved with that, but they kind of team up

34
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and teach the young ends how those two groups can

35
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 1>get along. Elliott is treating a patient obsessed with social media.

36
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy that likes to work out a

37
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>lot and post things online played by Matt Rife. Judy

38
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Reyes doesn't appear in the episode. We do hear the

39
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 1>voice of Carla. She calls Turk and lets Turk know

40
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>that she doesn't have to work after all, and she'd

41
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>love to hang out with him, and she flashes him,

42
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>is what is implied. So Turk picks boobs over poker.

43
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>That makes JD sad. Eventually, JD and Turk kind of

44
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 1>have it out at that. JD is a little jealous

45
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>that Turk's got this family and he's home alone, and

46
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Turk is like, man, I would kill for some alone time.

47
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>We got some new characters. There's a new janitor who's

48
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>super friendly and really likes JD, and JD even jokes

49
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that he should learn the man's name at some point,

50
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>but he does not. I continue to like Turk's apprentice.

51
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know her name, but every time she's on

52
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the screen, I say to my wife, I really like

53
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>her and I like her character. I should probably learn

54
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>her name. The social media in turn is named Tosh

55
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>that has somehow stuck in my brain because of comedian

56
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Tosh. Some notes. I wrote down one thing bothering

57
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 1>me the set. What's with the blurry backgrounds? Like You'll

58
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>watch one scene and it looks like a JD and

59
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Elliot are standing in front of a green screen of

60
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>fake hospital, and then the very next scene. There's clearly

61
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>a practical desk set and half a hallway anyway, so

62
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on there. I saw a

63
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>couple of people in the Scrubs reddit mentioned the blurry

64
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>backgrounds are a little annoying. Some people on the reddit

65
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>or saying, so far in the new season, we're not

66
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>really connecting with the patients. In the original series, we

67
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>would spend more time with the patients. I'm not sure

68
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that's true. It may have been true this week, or

69
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe Matt Riife just doesn't have the gravitas to pull

70
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that off, but I think it's a fair note. The

71
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>hospital does seem a little underpopulated. Already mentioned no Judy

72
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>rayis other than a voice cameo, and no John c McGinley.

73
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Now he will come back for two episodes. I've seen

74
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>some spoilers and I won't ruin it for you, but

75
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 1>we will see doctor Cox again. I was wondering about

76
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>the Todd. Where's the Todd? Wouldn't the Tod be at

77
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 1>poker night? That seems like exactly the kind of thing

78
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 1>he would be all in on, right, And I'm also

79
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>little worried where it'd be a little strong as a sitcom,

80
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but the Elliot character because j D and Turk have

81
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 1>each other to play off of, but Elliott really only

82
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>has JD to playoff. She doesn't really have a relationship

83
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>with Turk. So Elliot right now is kind of on

84
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>her own show. I know there are the three main leads,

85
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>but it's clearly the Zach Braff show. The universe revolves

86
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>around JD. It always did. He's the head narrator that

87
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 1>we hear. But I don't think they figured out yet

88
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 1>what to do with Elliott. In this episode, Elliott teams

89
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>up with doctor Sam Tosh see I thought her first

90
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>name was Tosh. Elliott quickly diagnoses the patient as having scurvy.

91
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Elliott is a little mean to Tosh, almost in a

92
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>doctor Cox's way, and starts calling Tosh doctor Selfie. However,

93
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it turns out the scurvy was brought on by a

94
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 1>lesser known eating disorder called orthorexia. Apparently, people with orthorexia

95
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>become obsessed with eating what they determined to be the

96
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>healthiest diet possible, and that's what's happening to Matt Rife there.

97
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>If Tosh had listened to Elliott stopped using her phone

98
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 1>all the time, they would have missed this diagnosis, so

99
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Elliott is forced to reevaluate her hard stance on how

100
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>toash approaches her job. Elliott is also realizing, like we

101
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>all do, getting a little older, and you know, you

102
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>know what happens one day you don't know how to

103
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>program the microwave. We learned a little more about JD's children.

104
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 1>There is at least a son named Ollie. Now during

105
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the original Scrubs, JD and Kim had a son, Sam

106
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>in season seven, episode two that aired November one, two

107
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand and seven, So Sam would be almost twenty years

108
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>old at this point, so Sam presumably in college. Somewhere

109
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in the premiere of season ten, we hear JD refer

110
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to kids, and in the now de canon I season nine,

111
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>JD and Elliott had a child together. So some people

112
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>have been wondering do they still have a kid together? Well,

113
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>they do. There is a son named Ali. JD mentions

114
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 1>that he is Ali next weekend and that he has

115
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>recently built his son a bunk bed. Let's do some

116
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>more math. Season nine of Scrubs a debut December one,

117
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine, so let's place it in they

118
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>had a child together so that child would be kind

119
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>of fifteen sixteen, and I'm being generous with the math.

120
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>So Ali's got to be the youngest if he's in

121
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 1>a bunk bed. So is there another child, Well, the

122
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>showrunner says no. The current canon is JD has two sons,

123
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Sam with Kim and Ollie with Elliott. So perhaps the

124
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>timeline of when the child of JD and Elliott, perhaps

125
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the timeline has shifted. I will quote Mystery Science Theater

126
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 1>three thousand, who once wisely said, just repeat to yourself,

127
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just a show. I should really just relax, don't

128
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. Scrabs Jess. It's in episode four. Not bad,

129
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>glad it was around. Not my favorite episode of all time,

130
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>not hilarious, Not sure it's one I'll think about it

131
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>other than Matt Rife appeared in it. But glad the

132
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>show's around, and looking forward to the return of Doctor

133
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Kok
