Donald Faison (1:20)
I left my notes at home.

At home. Listeners of the podcast from before might not be surprised that you did that.

for the airport.
Zach Braff (1:41)
Was there any ganja involved this morning?
Donald Faison (1:43)
There's always ganja involved when we do. I see. Do you think that ganja may have played up? I'm sure it's played up. I'm sure it played apart.

Joelle Monique (1:55)
Can you hit the bong hit sound effect?
Donald Faison (1:57)
Kids, if you're watching this, we need to talk to your parents about the things that you are allowed to watch.
Zach Braff (2:02)
Well, kids, this is why Donald doesn't have his notes.
Donald Faison (2:05)
Kids.
That's not why. I said it's partially. The other part is because I was on the run. I was trying to make it happen. Anyway, let's get into 203 Wait, can I tell you guys something?
Zach Braff (2:20)
Please, be honest.
Ava Bunn (2:22)
So, the other day, we were filming outside. Am I allowed to say outside?
Donald Faison (2:27)
Yes.
Sarah Chalke (2:28)
Why would you not be allowed to say outside?
Donald Faison (2:32)
You said, am I allowed to say I do think that? You're so nervous.
Zach Braff (2:36)
You're so nervous we thought we might censor you saying outside?
Ava Bunn (2:40)
Am I allowed to say we were filming outside?
We were filming outside, so there were like people around, and then I made a joke, and I was like, Chicken Little signed my leg. I'm going to get it tattooed.
Zach Braff (2:51)
Right.
Donald Faison (2:52)
No freaking way.
Joelle Monique (2:53)
No.
Donald Faison (2:55)
No freaking way. Eva!
Ava Bunn (2:57)
But, but...
Donald Faison (2:58)
Whose tattoo is that?
Ava Bunn (3:00)
They did it in a mirror, and they did it backwards. They spelled Chicken Little backwards.
Donald Faison (3:04)
They spelled Chicken Little backwards. This is a bit...
Ava Bunn (3:07)
I'm not joking. I looked into getting it lasered, but they said I have to wait a month.
Sarah Chalke (3:12)
Wait, so...
Donald Faison (3:13)
Oh, no.
Zach Braff (3:16)
Wait, so Ava, because I... Wait, for those of you who don't know, for those of you who know, I'm Chicken Little, and Ava asked me to sign her ankle as Chicken Little, and you got it, you actually got it tattooed, and they did it backwards?
Ava Bunn (3:30)
It's backwards, but in a mirror, it looks good.
Sarah Chalke (3:32)

Donald Faison (3:34)
