Hello, if you’re going to bring up Gabby P. I’d like you to touch base on Emily Pike. She is an indigenous young woman that was brutally murdered.
Too Woke for me.

I wish they would keep their political and woke opinions to themselves.

Brought back the Joy of Scrubs
09/17/2024
I enjoyed Scrubs for its entire original run. I was thankful every year when somehow it got renewed, despite seeming to be constantly on the cutline. I hadn’t watched it in a while when I stumbled across this podcast a year ago, so I thought I’d do a rewatch with the rewatch. Fast forward a year and I’ve rewatched the show twice - I started pacing episodes with the podcast but my enjoyment got the best of me, and after I finished all of the episodes the first time I went back and watched most of them again, in sync with the podcast. It’s lots of fun to listen to Zach and Donald talk about the show, notice things in the background, tell stories, interview guest stars, and analyze what’s wrong with season 9, not to mention hearing Joelle and Danl go from producer and editor to core members of the group. I got to experience the show all over again and in a new light. There’s two things that prevent me from giving FDRF five stars - first, it kicked off at the beginning of the pandemic. Initially it was interesting listening to them recap events as they happened - but after a while, their pandemic commentary devolved into the same old sanctimonious garbage that was so common on social media at the time, and that got old fast. The second is that the language and subject matter get pretty extreme - from sexually graphic to near constant discussion of drug use to the occasional usage of highly offensive terms (although Joelle does a masterful job at steering Zach and Donald through culturally sensitive material - I learned more than a few things from her). That said . . . don’t let those things ruin it. Listen to the parts you enjoy, be willing to fast forward segments and skip episodes when you need to. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed FDRF and I’m thankful to everyone involved for helping me rekindle my love for one of my favorite shows of all time. All in all, Bill created an amazing podcast and it’s absolutely worth listening to.
Wish I could give 5 stars

I absolutely love Scrubs, it’s one of my favorite shows. I fell in love with the first few episodes of this podcast but there are some glaring issues. On one hand, it’s so fun to hear Zack and Donald reminisce and give a back story on the show. It’s awesome to have guest stars who can also share their stories. However, sometimes they are pretty disrespectful to their guest stars especially the women. For example, the second time Sarah Chalke is on the show they were really rude to her and their wiki expert. They constantly interrupted and talked over her. They also ignored her for most of the show. I understand that this is their show and they can construct it according to their own criteria but it makes me cringe to hear them ignore and interrupt their guests, and again, they are especially insensitive to their female guests.

Your podcast is still going, why aren’t you promoting it on your socials anymore ? The Instagram page is gone and posts on all your pages … what’s going on?
Love y’all!

I love this podcast so much, and can’t wait for the next iteration! The chemistry that Joelle, Danl, Zach, & Donald share is so wonderful. I’ve been listening to this from the beginning and I will never stop! I’m hoping for more discussion of what it’s like to direct/produce/act in movies and TV - those conversations are super interesting and always keep me engaged. Keep up the great work!
Great content

Even tho I m no longer interested in the last season of scrubs, they keep me listening with their inside conversations and banter. Very funny and can absolutely listen to them 4 talk just regular conversations and be entertaining.
Donald Faison shows his true colors
06/03/2024
Donald is easily one of the most annoying people in the world. Makes me loathe the character of til now that I know how absurd of a person he is. He’s just a large man child who thinks he’s funny and is so immature and loud and obnoxious. Just the kind of person who clearly needs to get punched in the face. He sounds like a terrible husband and father. Constantly complains about his kids and says his wife needs to bang whenever he wants. Don’t seem interested in helping out at all around home. Just smokes weed and gets way too loud on his podcast. He also yells at his wife and tells her that since he paid for everything, he can disrespect her and the kids however much he wants. He truly seems like an awful dude that has lost touch with what being a good person is.
Beyonce

Want to make a correction on here regarding the Beyonce talk on the latest episode. When Donald said Beyonce was the first black artist to have a number one country album that would be incorrect. She may be the first female black artist to do so but not the first black artist as Darius Rucker had 4 number one country albums before Beyonce even began doing country music which I think is a mistake on her part. She should stay in her lane and leave the country to real country artists like Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton etc. so just to clarify Darius did it first not Beyonce. Actually I believe Charlie Pride had a number one country album first. Sorry Donald you be wrong.
