Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald

Halloween comes to Sacred Heart Hospital, which means Donald is dressing up, finding the gays with the best candy, and busting a move. In this week’s episode, Zach and Donald are joined by fan favorite Ava Bunn (Dr. Sam Tosh) and newcomer John Higgins, who plays Grant, the intern. Together, this fabulous foursome recount Zach's daring and possibly life-threatening turn as Mary Poppins. They ponder the glory that would be Donald with hair. Plus, Grant details the wild world of SNL censors, while Ava teases a character we might see in the not-too-distant future.

It’s Turk’s birthday, but JD and Elliot are a little preoccupied by their significant others. What’s supposed to be a chill night with friends ends in betrayal, and somehow, a laugh. How do they always do that? On the podcast, Zach and Donald are joined by Doctor Dashana Trainor (Amanda Morrow) and Doctor Amara Hadi (Layla Mohammadi) to recount an episode heavily influenced by real-life events. Donald's love of all things steak, Zach's generous spirit, and the Scrubs cast's enduring friendships all take center stage in "My Best Friend's Birthday."
