If you follow "Scrubs," chances are you're familiar with Ted's Band, those a capella-singing weirdos that show up at random to sing about Underdog and baby back ribs. (Mmmm. Babyback ribs. And if you're not familiar, what are you waiting for? Click the YouTube clip for a quick primer.)

Well, they're actually a bona fide band consisting of actor Sam Lloyd (Ted from the show), Philip McNiven, George Miserlis and Paul Perry. The quartet will appear at University of Puget Sound's Schneebeck Concert Hall on Sunday (Nov. 9) under their real world moniker, the Blanks. So recently, I caught up with the quirky foursome for a conference call that was about as goofy as you'd expect. Here are some highlights.

Pt. 1: Man! Philip's connection really sucks!

Pt. 2: Their big break and how "Superman's" lawyers nearly ruined it.

Pt. 3: So when's that next (possibly last) season of "Scrubs" gonna air, again?
