This week in The Economy of Nothing, the Captain attends his first day at Pilot School — and Mr. Green immediately regrets opening enrollment.

We dig into the Scrubs pilot "My First Day" and break down why it works, how it builds character relationships, and how it accidentally becomes Nothing Corp's official training video. We talk Steadman disappearing mid-episode, Cox and Kelso as dueling mentors, JD's guilty conscience, and the infamous Janitor Penny conspiracy.

Along the way, we spiral through the abandoned-hospital economy, the Turkish Disney castle ghost town, why real estate collapses are comedy, and how capitalism always ends with someone buying a haunted building at auction.

Plus: Mississippi the Dog briefly becomes CEO, the Polar Express becomes a tax write-off, and Captain Tracy struggles to start the episode without sounding like he's reading a ransom note.

It's an hour of TV-nerd analysis, failed improv, and corporate worldbuilding disguised as media criticism — the official beginning of Pilot School.
