Maybe that's why Turk has had problems getting promoted. Cox isn't a surgeon, so I guess he can lift as often as he wants.

Called again today. day off, but they have folks floating in and out. Talked to Doug Murphy, the nervous guy. cool little conversation again.

I gotta say, this is so cool. I have yet to call (I would get kinda embarrassed), but what other show would do this?

Dammit, I still haven't watched this week's Scrubs yet, but I just noticed the Scrubs thread at the comic book messageboard I hang out at. They made it a sticky:

I'm going to have to try that number out tomorrow.

I just voted at the PCA site and it was cool to see Braff and Portman both up for best film actors. Also, although it's cool that I'm able to vote for all 3 of my favorite shows (Scrubs, GG, and Lost), it still feels so wrong to vote for GG for best drama. Scrubs is more of a drama than GG. Scrubs has a major dramatic moment every episode. GG can go months without having one.

They never did, but Ed would've been my first guess of any show that would do something like this. Maybe they'll keep the number long enough til the next time Tom Cavanagh is back

I loved Ed as well. I can kinda see it happening, but I would be afraid if Dr Jerome answered and laid into me.

I'm pretty sure she smacked everyone including the Jewish guy

I think she smaked a guy on her right as she was stealing the Jewish guy's hat, and thus could not smack him and steal his hat at the same time.

Really, the majority of surgeons that I know actually do lift weights.

really? I know several who had stopped during med school because it made their hands shake. I'm told it's not something that's 100%.

All orthopedic surgeons I know lift weights. I would say that at least half of the surgical residents that I know are in the gym when they can. Now as far as those surgeons out in practice, I don't know a lot that lift but that is more of a lack of time issue than anything else. Never heard any of them say that it made their hands shake. Now obviously right after you lift then that could be a problem but have never heard of it being an issue outside of that.

hmm, I know my dad and most of his friends had stopped lifting because of it. Must not be as common as I thought.

I just got around to watching this episode (yay TIVO), and I'm totally going to call. I think this is really cool, and I think it's even cooler that people are actually answering instead of getting just a recorded message.

916

Alice and Mike must be pissed off at all the calls they've been getting.

I just called and talked to Donald Faison (Turk) and Ken Jenkins (Dr. Kelso). They seemed pretty nice and asked what I was doing and why I called.

How are they answering the phone? Is it just "Hello", or do they have a greeting. I just called and they answered Hello and I asked to speak with Turk and they said there was no Turk there. Is the number 619-225-5887?

It's 916 and they're basically just saying "hello". And they aren't in character.

Cool, thanks. I thought it was 619 since people were saying San Diego, etc. I'll try with 916.

I got turk "in character" and out of character already. It depends on their mood and how they want to treat a call.

I saw a bit on the news about the number. It goes to a cel phone on the set belonging to Bill Lawrence (producer). They've taken over 5000 calls already. Someone in the cast said it's hard for them to talk because the call waiting is constantly going off.

Apparently a lot of callers lose their nerve when they get through and hang up without saying much. Dr. Cox was shown in character verbally abusing someone on the other end. Matthew Perry is on the set taping a guest spot this week and is also taking calls.

I just called the number, and somone answered it then sounded like they tried to hang up, but they didn't...and I hear background sound and conversations right now...
