Speaker 1: It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. You guys, we
Speaker 1: are here today with another nine oh two one on one.
Speaker 1: We're talking with Jan Miler. I mean that's who she played.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm Beverly Hills nine one. The one and only.
Speaker 1: Rachel True is going to be with us. Super excited.
Speaker 1: Rachel Hi, Oh my goodness, Rachel True is here. Thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on. Listen. Thank both of you for
Speaker 1: inviting me. I've not gotten to meet you, Jenny I
Speaker 1: think before, and Tori you probably don't remember, but I
Speaker 1: met you so briefly at Sundance I think, yes, I
Speaker 1: feel like I met you through Kathleen Robertson. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: So anyway, anyway, I really appreciate the invite on and
Speaker 1: I love your podcast and it's fabulous to be honest,
Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you. Oh my gosh, Well we're
Speaker 1: excited to have you here today. You played Jan Miler.
Speaker 1: I'm Beverly Hills nine two and two episodes Minnesota College
Speaker 1: with Brenda. Tell us how it happened. How did you
Speaker 1: get the role of m Listen. Like everyone at that time,
Speaker 1: we were like, oh my god, I want to be
Speaker 1: on nine O two one h right, like you guys
Speaker 1: were on it, but the rest of us were like,
Speaker 1: we really want to be on that show. So it
Speaker 1: was not a huge role, but I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to do it, you know, um And it was
Speaker 1: more than one episode. And let's be real, there weren't
Speaker 1: so many black people on your show besides Bibica, so
Speaker 1: so I very much wanted to be on the show
Speaker 1: for many reasons. Um. And I was lucky enough Tori
Speaker 1: to have read for your dead for another show, and
Speaker 1: he was really kind. I think he liked my PATOI
Speaker 1: I think I think you know, back then in the nineties, right,
Speaker 1: everyone was much more black people. We want to urban
Speaker 1: it up. That's all I ever heard was Brban Rachel really, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know, how said. I cannot believe that was
Speaker 1: okay for them to say, do not know? But right
Speaker 1: before a test they'd be like, that's great, but's sassier,
Speaker 1: more urban, right, And I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you mean. This is literally the patois of my voice. Um.
Speaker 1: So to be able to audition for a show like
Speaker 1: nine O two and no and just speak in like
Speaker 1: the weird California vernacular, I already seemed to possess was
Speaker 1: really fun for an actor at that time because as
Speaker 1: a black actor, listen, there's always a room and a
Speaker 1: place for more urban roles and things, of course, but
Speaker 1: at that time I went out of my way to
Speaker 1: show people that we were a multitude, and we spoke
Speaker 1: many different ways and we looked many different ways. So
Speaker 1: that's why I always wore my hair curly, because all
Speaker 1: the black girls were forced into wigs or wanted to,
Speaker 1: and I just thought, let's show them what what it's like.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that's funny about that is
Speaker 1: I was told a lot when I was younger, like
Speaker 1: you're too contemporary looking for like a period piece, And
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't think the plantations were full
Speaker 1: of little mixed curly hair girls who looked exactly like me.
Speaker 1: You know, So again back to nine or two, when
Speaker 1: it was a real cool and a boon to be
Speaker 1: able to book a job on that show, and so
Speaker 1: you auditioned for it? Just did I feel like I
Speaker 1: did audition? I don't think I was just offered it.
Speaker 1: Did you audition for any other roles? Like We've talked
Speaker 1: to a lot of people who said I audition for
Speaker 1: so many roles, and this is the one that ended
Speaker 1: up happening. I had only auditioned for one other role
Speaker 1: for I remember she was blind, That's what I remember.
Speaker 1: And and James Jason was the director because I think
Speaker 1: he was in on that session. I did not book it.
Speaker 1: Did a better job? Did the woman? Did the character
Speaker 1: that was blind have like a relationship with Brandon? With Jason?
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I know it was like a
Speaker 1: big part. So it was like, you know, one that
Speaker 1: all the actors wanted. I don't even know if it
Speaker 1: went to someone black, to be honest um, although probably
Speaker 1: because back then it wasn't really you didn't really bring
Speaker 1: everyone in for anything. It was always very specific. Was
Speaker 1: that before you did this role that you auditioned for
Speaker 1: the other one or after? Yeah, I had auditioned for
Speaker 1: the other one before this, And because it was a
Speaker 1: bigger role and on such a cool show, of course
Speaker 1: I was devastated when I didn't get it. I don't
Speaker 1: know about YouTube, but I always took the nose harder
Speaker 1: than I should have. My gosh, racial rejection is so hard.
Speaker 1: People have no idea how many times you get rejected
Speaker 1: in this business, and how many times you have to
Speaker 1: bounce back from that. Well, yeah, I was saying to like,
Speaker 1: my anxiety levels were always sky high day because you
Speaker 1: were Okay, you're here, but no, you're leaving tomorrow, or
Speaker 1: you have an audition right now, and you know, it's
Speaker 1: really hard on the nervous system, which I think people
Speaker 1: don't understand about acting. They just think, oh, it's so
Speaker 1: easy and fun, and in days in Lewensio World especially,
Speaker 1: I think they don't understand the rigorous work YouTube did
Speaker 1: on that show because I was on later on in
Speaker 1: the auds. I was on a sitcom and I love
Speaker 1: that because I was like, oh, I'm in it ten
Speaker 1: and I'm done by three thirty. And I have loved
Speaker 1: that world too. I have every fourth week off schedule,
Speaker 1: I compared to the drama because you guys worked long hours,
Speaker 1: right like five days a week, yeah, sixteen days, and
Speaker 1: you didn't get your fourth week off. I do have
Speaker 1: one story that I want to tell about my brief
Speaker 1: time please who knows so, but it's I'm gonna talent.
Speaker 1: It involves Shannon Right, who I worked with, and she's
Speaker 1: lovely but sue to the non actor. It might sound terrible,
Speaker 1: but it's not you're gonna understand as actors. Just so
Speaker 1: we're in the rooms, you know, we're waiting, and I
Speaker 1: heard them knock on Shannon's store and she was like,
Speaker 1: I'll be right there right and literally they don't even
Speaker 1: wait like two minutes and they knock it and they're
Speaker 1: like a lot of calm right now, and the A
Speaker 1: D was kind of stride it right, I'm scared about
Speaker 1: I'm like, my fingertips are going them, okay, go on.
Speaker 1: So so they're knocking it and they knocked right away,
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds later, like yeah, we need you right now,
Speaker 1: and she literally yells back, I'm putting in a tampon.
Speaker 1: And I as an actor, I respect that though I
Speaker 1: did not see that coming. But no, that was brilliant
Speaker 1: in the moment. I was like, because I listen as again,
Speaker 1: I don't it's not all about race. But as a
Speaker 1: black actor, I was constantly told you will be fired
Speaker 1: for the same thing as these white girls do. You
Speaker 1: will be fine, like literally told that job after job.
Speaker 1: So I heard that and I was like, oh, what
Speaker 1: I ever say or anything? And I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: cut two years later on my own show, and I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm keeping just let peace pay to say Shannon wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like to the non actor that might sound ready,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's someone literally saying, I am coming. I
Speaker 1: love my job, I will be there, I will be
Speaker 1: out this door as soon as I am done. So
Speaker 1: I actually get where she was coming from. So you
Speaker 1: guys had a good time on the set, do you remember,
Speaker 1: like what the but it was like it was fun
Speaker 1: all but you know, like here's the thing. And the
Speaker 1: other thing non actress don't understand is how awkward it
Speaker 1: is to come in as a guest cost You're walking
Speaker 1: into a well oiled machine and everybody's used to everybody's
Speaker 1: personalities and everything like that. So I don't like I
Speaker 1: did a movie years later with Shannon super friendly. I
Speaker 1: don't think she was super friendly when we did that
Speaker 1: scene together. I don't you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: because that was kind of like her not having a
Speaker 1: good time scenes though. Did they film It was like
Speaker 1: all the same place and they filmed both episodes. It's
Speaker 1: backed back to get those done. I feel like they
Speaker 1: did film both like it might have been over two days.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just like it was all within like a
Speaker 1: very yeah. Yeah, yeah, so again I was really happy
Speaker 1: to be there, like I'm Minnesota, I'm her, And then
Speaker 1: like every actor, I'm like, maybe she'll stay in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: and you're like, Rachel, the show is called nine two,
Speaker 1: she's not staying in saying she wasn't like unfriendly. She
Speaker 1: was probably this stay honestly the same way I got
Speaker 1: when when you were on a show, and you guys
Speaker 1: know this I'm saying was for the audience. Like I
Speaker 1: was number one on the call sheet of my sitcom.
Speaker 1: I was in every scene. I was tired, you know,
Speaker 1: even though it's a fun, silly job, so you're not
Speaker 1: actually as over to everyone who comes in because you
Speaker 1: have to save your energy for your performance. So you know,
Speaker 1: I get that, but I haven't. I should. I should
Speaker 1: work on that. Then I need to work on saving
Speaker 1: my energy for your perform Yeah, because I go no, no,
Speaker 1: I have this weird thing ever since I was young,
Speaker 1: that it goes back to n to that I thought
Speaker 1: like everyone would be like, oh, Tori Spelling, producer's daughter,
Speaker 1: She's gonna be horrible, she's gonna be entitled. So even
Speaker 1: I could be having the worst day ever or something
Speaker 1: horrible is going on, and I'm just like, I'll be like, hi,
Speaker 1: how are you, and like hugging grain, like I just
Speaker 1: go too much on you because I'm just like a
Speaker 1: gonna take you to train that out in your real life. Wait,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? I'm saying, like, because I find
Speaker 1: if we are like okay, because I can't imagine the pressure,
Speaker 1: by the way, Tori of having that on my back. Right,
Speaker 1: It's hard enough as an actor to be like do
Speaker 1: you like me? Do you think I'm good? But later
Speaker 1: in it's your dad, and of course you're gonna feel
Speaker 1: like people are judging you and like you get one,
Speaker 1: and then I've got to prove myself right, So you
Speaker 1: end up being extra accommodating to a certain extent. And
Speaker 1: so I'm saying, and sometimes I can cross into real
Speaker 1: life and we can be over accommodating to our friends
Speaker 1: instead of setting boundaries, you know what I mean. Yes,
Speaker 1: I have not learned to do that yet, but there's
Speaker 1: always hope. We're all working on it. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, like the nice thing about being one of
Speaker 1: the nice things, right, because being a grown up isn't
Speaker 1: all terrible. I think it's kind of great. That, like,
Speaker 1: as an adult, I feel much more comfortable with myself,
Speaker 1: with my choices, what I do, saying yes, saying no
Speaker 1: and being okay with that rather than if I say no,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna like me. Like now, I don't give up.
Speaker 1: So very helpful and I care. I want I like
Speaker 1: people and I want them to like me back. But
Speaker 1: I also think some of the bending over that we
Speaker 1: I did myself when I was younger, I realized I
Speaker 1: got sort of taken advantage of, maybe on jobs, and
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't treated as well because she's the
Speaker 1: easy one. M Yeah, I was just writing about that
Speaker 1: so funny. I was just writing about that my journal,
Speaker 1: about like how that's the person that I used to
Speaker 1: be so much more needy and like super like super
Speaker 1: sensitive and I needed affirmation from other people and now
Speaker 1: I just at at this point in my life, I
Speaker 1: just don't need that. I need the love and respect
Speaker 1: of the people that are most important to me, but
Speaker 1: the other people I don't care. Well, I think that's
Speaker 1: why I'm talking about it too, because chances are I'm
Speaker 1: definitely older, probably I'm sure than both of you, and
Speaker 1: it took me a really no chance, no chance now
Speaker 1: I am, but it took me a really long time.
Speaker 1: That thatsonality we have on set, which is our personality, right,
Speaker 1: it's our true who we are, But there's also a
Speaker 1: little bit of a mask on there. Is we all
Speaker 1: carry a mask all the time through life, right, and
Speaker 1: then there's set mask, which is a little different than
Speaker 1: our day to day mask. And I find as an adult,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to look at those things and strip them off,
Speaker 1: Whereas when I was younger, I would have been like,
Speaker 1: oh you see me, and then I would have probably
Speaker 1: crumpled up in a ball. Yeah. No, growing up is
Speaker 1: pretty rad like all the all the insights that you
Speaker 1: get and the and the confidence that you get. It
Speaker 1: actually is an unlike Unfortunately on like you two, I
Speaker 1: don't have kids, right, I really wanted them, but I
Speaker 1: couldn't have them. So I don't have kids, and I
Speaker 1: don't have that thing to mark the passage of time
Speaker 1: and to see, you know, the years go by or
Speaker 1: my own growth or there. So I kind of have
Speaker 1: to just clock it on my own. And I'm trying
Speaker 1: because I feel like as humans we get this chance
Speaker 1: we do our thing, and all we can try to do.
Speaker 1: All I can try to do is be the best
Speaker 1: human I can be, and the times that I've fallen
Speaker 1: and and failed, I have to just get up and
Speaker 1: try again and do better the next time, rather than
Speaker 1: going I failed, I am ah, you know, and beating
Speaker 1: myself up. And yeah, I'm saying that for the people listening,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure I'm not the only person who behaved
Speaker 1: like that to themselves. No. Oh my gosh, I wish
Speaker 1: I had spent more time with you with that Sundance
Speaker 1: part way back when, because you're awesome. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: thank you, that's really kind of you to say. But also,
Speaker 1: you know, this acting career, right, it's up, it's down,
Speaker 1: it's sideways. So like Jenny, I right, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you you right as well? Right? Sometimes and I
Speaker 1: you know, when things got a little slow, I wrote
Speaker 1: a book and sold a book to a major publisher,
Speaker 1: And that was a big step for me because back
Speaker 1: in the nineties, you remember when it was like you
Speaker 1: can only be an actor, anything else and you suck.
Speaker 1: So I had that ingrained in me that, like even
Speaker 1: even other artsy stuff, the attitude was well, if you're
Speaker 1: not you know, you can do one. Wait, what's your book? Oh?
Speaker 1: It's it's okay, don't laugh, or you got or your
Speaker 1: ladies can, and you can make fun of me later.
Speaker 1: But one thing I've always done throughout my whole life,
Speaker 1: that's he'll calm me down and self soothe me. It's, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, an embarrassed. It's not really first masturbating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the book about white story, I recommend The Rabbit. No,
Speaker 1: it's not about that is the fastest one. Okay, go on,
Speaker 1: it's a I knew you know that one. It's a
Speaker 1: tarot book in deck set. It's young love this, Oh
Speaker 1: good God, listen. The reason I had my bets on
Speaker 1: this is I didn't understand that certain people are like
Speaker 1: especially my black brothers and sisters are like, oh no,
Speaker 1: Rachel the devil, And I'm like, okay, paper cards printed
Speaker 1: in China literally just images we use to unlock our
Speaker 1: own emotions, the things that are unconscious. Right, So it's
Speaker 1: always been a passion of mine. And um, I wrote
Speaker 1: a book and designed a deck and it's I'm proud
Speaker 1: of that. But wait, what's it called? Tell us what
Speaker 1: It's called true true heart, intuitive tarot and you can
Speaker 1: get it anywhere. Books are still like Barnes and Noble
Speaker 1: or Amazon. But I'm proud of that. You're smart. That's
Speaker 1: you should be proud of that. That's awesome, that's great.
Speaker 1: A soo, I wrote it myself. I had six million
Speaker 1: people be like, I'll write it for you, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I am an artist, I will write my
Speaker 1: own book. But I think I'm particularly proud of it
Speaker 1: in my evolution because I needed something to focus on.
Speaker 1: I'm not kind of personal. If I don't have a
Speaker 1: job right and I don't know the kids to the
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything to focus on, and this grounded
Speaker 1: me and let me know that I had a talent
Speaker 1: as a writer. Because it includes twenty two memory kind
Speaker 1: of essays, personal essays. There's really mind opening, just like
Speaker 1: every role we do is mind opening. You know the
Speaker 1: book was mind opening? Well did you write this book? Oh?
Speaker 1: I think it came out almost two years ago. Now
Speaker 1: I'm literally in the middle of pitching my next book
Speaker 1: right now. So I let me have a career. Like
Speaker 1: you you're you've done all these acting roles. Now you're writing, like,
Speaker 1: what is what's your favorite? Do do you like one
Speaker 1: more than the other? Wait? Oh wait, what's her favorite thing?
Speaker 1: That she's done. Can I say my favorite thing she's done? Sorry? Okay,
Speaker 1: can I fan girl out before you answer that question? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: So rewatching this. I have to admit, like Jen and
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of the episodes, which is
Speaker 1: why as best friends, like we're so excited to rewatch
Speaker 1: together and talk about it. And for some reason, I
Speaker 1: didn't remember, like I knew, I knew you, um, but
Speaker 1: I didn't remember you were in nine two. When I
Speaker 1: saw you, I literally freaked out and went because horror fanatic, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I have to talk about the Craft. I just have to.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, thanks girl, one of the most iconic cult
Speaker 1: horror films ever. Um and yeah, obsessed with the Craft,
Speaker 1: and I had to go. My kids don't even care
Speaker 1: that I was in nine two, but I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, come look, and they right off the
Speaker 1: bat were like from the Craft, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I really because one of my their friends pre summer,
Speaker 1: she's a big she was on a different world and
Speaker 1: it's a big She's great, she's so funny, so talented.
Speaker 1: She just showed the Craft to her daughters and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, my stock went up so far in
Speaker 1: that household. Before they were like, oh yeah, Rachel. Now
Speaker 1: they were like, Rachel, my daughter just turned to eleven,
Speaker 1: and she's like a huge fan. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: be a geek and take a picture of the screen
Speaker 1: here so she could see you and I together. And
Speaker 1: you too, Jenn, you too, Well, it's your daughter. Actually
Speaker 1: I call we call um my one daughter Hattie, actually
Speaker 1: Jenny's daughter, Um, but we she's a horror fan and
Speaker 1: we're going to do her eleventh birthday and she wants
Speaker 1: it um after the craft. Wait cool to me as
Speaker 1: you showed her the original. I wanted to ask you
Speaker 1: what you think of the new one. I don't know
Speaker 1: her nice gowns, I don't know. I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I would have more to say, except I feel like,
Speaker 1: and I'll put this on the record, I feel like
Speaker 1: they made a mistake. They were in talks with all
Speaker 1: of us to be in it right, and then they
Speaker 1: executive is like, well, we pulled the audience and the
Speaker 1: last thing they want to see is you ladies with kids,
Speaker 1: and and everyone I speak to who like you girls,
Speaker 1: women and everyone out there is like what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like what they do is they discount
Speaker 1: us grown women who have more spending money. Now theoretically,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you guys had all in your twenties,
Speaker 1: but for the regular, for normal people, most women who
Speaker 1: are grown, we haven't spending money. And I think the
Speaker 1: crowd that people would have come out to see the
Speaker 1: grown ladies and the craft with their kids, you would
Speaker 1: have gotten the young and yeah, exactly. And instead what
Speaker 1: I get is like, you know, I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: shade to the new one is people going there was
Speaker 1: a new one, and I'm like, all right, anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that really hurt the screen franchise, bringing the original
Speaker 1: cast back and like also having the new bees, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, it's kind of nuts that
Speaker 1: they were in talks with you and then it didn't
Speaker 1: go further like I would have. I wanted that. I
Speaker 1: wanted to look for you guys, like what that's what
Speaker 1: fans want to see, so that you could blend generations. Um.
Speaker 1: So my so, my daughter liked it. Um. And that's
Speaker 1: actually when I showed her the original one because she
Speaker 1: liked it, and I was like, She's like, why don't
Speaker 1: you like this? This is great? And that's when I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, you gotta see the O G one
Speaker 1: my generation watch because it's amazing. And then she got
Speaker 1: her cell phones? What's wrong with them? Know? She ended
Speaker 1: up because you know, sometimes horror films now are just
Speaker 1: so like high, like fast paced, and the lighting and
Speaker 1: the it's all about like, oh, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: too much to get anxiety. They don't let anything breathe
Speaker 1: in horror films sometimes. And the first one was just
Speaker 1: so iconic and just everything head to show, fashion, everything.
Speaker 1: I think they did a good job at capturing that
Speaker 1: moment in time. How's that? You know? Like it really
Speaker 1: did capture some the onst of the nineties, um and
Speaker 1: that moment in time. And I will give the new
Speaker 1: one which I haven't seen, but I think they captured
Speaker 1: their moment too, you know what I mean, like their
Speaker 1: moment of now um and and that's kind of what
Speaker 1: film is about. So anyway, I would say, back to
Speaker 1: Jenny's thing, I like it all. One thing I've realized
Speaker 1: like when I was in my younger years, I was
Speaker 1: always uncomfortable saying I'm an artist. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: you know, because I thought artists were this better thing
Speaker 1: than me. Right, So now I fully understand as an adult,
Speaker 1: I'm an artist. So whether it's writing, directing, which I
Speaker 1: would like to do, any any of these things, Um,
Speaker 1: I adore. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't. I wasn't comfortable
Speaker 1: saying oh, I'm a creative as a young person either,
Speaker 1: But now, like that's the only way my brain works,
Speaker 1: and I know it and I love it. Right, That's
Speaker 1: what I really is. That is how my brain works.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter what formed is. I do
Speaker 1: get a particular kick out of acting. I don't always
Speaker 1: have to watch it, per se. What do you mean
Speaker 1: watch your work? Yeah? I don't always enjoy that. Like
Speaker 1: if you guys credit for watching the old episodes of
Speaker 1: your shows. It's so long ago that it's okay for
Speaker 1: us now to watch. Really Yeah, And like, oddly enough,
Speaker 1: I don't know if my master told you guys. Like
Speaker 1: I'm here in Louisiana shooting the sequel twenty years twenty
Speaker 1: plus years later to Half Baked, which was a stone
Speaker 1: stoic What that is so fun? That's why I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, so wait, what's your role? What's
Speaker 1: your what's your role? And half still married? I was
Speaker 1: Mary Jane and the original one, I was Dave's love
Speaker 1: interest and now I'm the mom to the person having
Speaker 1: the adventure, which is another thing that is interesting as
Speaker 1: an adult actor, because I just got in last night
Speaker 1: and on the plane was alright, Rachel, you're the only adult.
Speaker 1: Everyone else is going to be a child or pretending
Speaker 1: or pretending to be a child. Like because I was
Speaker 1: way older than the characters I played when I was younger,
Speaker 1: I just knew that I looked that age and that
Speaker 1: that was fine for me, you know, so I was
Speaker 1: older than my peers. Um. But with this it's an
Speaker 1: interesting transition, you know, m because I'm I'm the mom. Wait,
Speaker 1: but it's not your first time playing a mom, you
Speaker 1: know what. I think I've only played a mom like
Speaker 1: one other time, Like I did. I'm on an Amazon
Speaker 1: show called uh Oh. It's about four women in Harlem,
Speaker 1: and it's called Harlem. And in that one, I played
Speaker 1: a love interest to one of the younger girls. So
Speaker 1: I'm usually like that, non mom, um, because you look
Speaker 1: so young, like that's why that's the camera lady. But no,
Speaker 1: this this is like a grown man son. And I
Speaker 1: was like, OK, it's a little intimidating as an actress,
Speaker 1: right type of grown son rather than eight. I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't even get an eight year old. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: didn't need to transition into it. They just comedy like
Speaker 1: it's it's like, it's also fun. And the truth is
Speaker 1: it's not like real easily be the mother person. So
Speaker 1: it's not out of alignment with the truth. I know
Speaker 1: even now. I mean, I have a twenty five year
Speaker 1: old daughter and I'm like, wait, what you're I'm your
Speaker 1: mom like in real life. I don't get it. Really,
Speaker 1: I though you look amazing. I never would have Tory.
Speaker 1: How do you have? How many kids? Five? Five? Five?
Speaker 1: In between the two of us, we have eight kids,
Speaker 1: and that crazy, Like you look fabulous because the one
Speaker 1: thing I know is kids. Can you know a person?
Speaker 1: Not everybody off too gorgeous women, But it's true. You know,
Speaker 1: I think they keep you young, they keep you on
Speaker 1: your toes, they do both. I think it's a the worry.
Speaker 1: I think that worry right. But definitely hear what you're
Speaker 1: saying about playing a mom. It is it's like a
Speaker 1: little bit of a transition, a switch in your brain
Speaker 1: that you have exactly it is a little bit and
Speaker 1: yet at the same time, like I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: adverse to We're privileged to be here. We all know
Speaker 1: people who are not here, right, who didn't make it
Speaker 1: to this age. So that's kind of how I look
Speaker 1: at it. And it doesn't mean I don't go, oh,
Speaker 1: this line or this thing. But the truth is, um,
Speaker 1: it is a privilege to still be alive at this
Speaker 1: this particular juncture. So I just truly and I try
Speaker 1: to keep that in perspective. You know, we can talk
Speaker 1: to you all day, you have amazing we do You
Speaker 1: still keep in touch with nev Campbell? Um, I do.
Speaker 1: And I see her at those U signing things, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's right. People like for the first convention
Speaker 1: I ever did, every picture of me next is someone
Speaker 1: touching me and ME going ah. Because I grew up
Speaker 1: in a hockey household, so I was like, oh, we
Speaker 1: have to touch here. That's interesting, But it's super They're
Speaker 1: actually really fun to do because you connect with the
Speaker 1: people and and and they love these shows. They're the
Speaker 1: reason I know to know and it's so true and
Speaker 1: appreciate them. But I'm still in touch with them. I'm
Speaker 1: not in touch with everyone I work with me just
Speaker 1: like you guys, you know, of course. Yeah. Well, I
Speaker 1: was like, when people like you ask me best friends
Speaker 1: with so and so, and I'm like, are you friends
Speaker 1: with some person who worked with twenty years ago? I
Speaker 1: literally would not have asked that question, but our producer
Speaker 1: put in the notes that you guys are still talk No,
Speaker 1: we are reached me super tight um. But she lived
Speaker 1: on it and I just saw her recently, so I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'm not know. She's a She's a
Speaker 1: lovely girl. And oddly enough, when we shot the craft,
Speaker 1: I was super tight, was me and Nav and then
Speaker 1: Robin and Fruza were kind of their own islands and
Speaker 1: I was told to not even talk to Fruzia because
Speaker 1: x y Z by my team. And the funny thing
Speaker 1: is this Spruce and I are like best friends now.
Speaker 1: She's so fun She's the nicest girl. She is so sweet,
Speaker 1: and I realized people are like, what do you mean,
Speaker 1: Fruza ball and I'm like, no, no, no, no no, no.
Speaker 1: One of the most loyal, supportive friends there is out there.
Speaker 1: So I'm so glad that eventually I got to know her,
Speaker 1: because she's a real special girl. That's neat that you
Speaker 1: that you were able to come around and sort of yeah.
Speaker 1: And we've got together as friends, we've been talked about
Speaker 1: these things. But again, the first time I saw her
Speaker 1: after years and years and years, here's what I think
Speaker 1: people out there forget to do. Like even when you're
Speaker 1: you know, like she she's fabulous, but she was kind
Speaker 1: of a pain and in the lovely way back then.
Speaker 1: So the first thing she said to me was listen,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, mhm. And that's all it takes. But people
Speaker 1: don't realize is it doesn't have to be this huge conversation.
Speaker 1: It's simply I'm acknowledging in X y Z and that
Speaker 1: was it. And and I had to learn to to
Speaker 1: let her and other people have that moment because I
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, it's fine. And you know what,
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to let the person get out there,
Speaker 1: sorry or there whatever it is, because that's important for them,
Speaker 1: you know, just like my nature is like I don't
Speaker 1: want any of fine, And I was like, non' let
Speaker 1: me hear this. So her and never great. I don't
Speaker 1: know Robin at all. I didn't know where when we
Speaker 1: shot the movie. I still don't know where. Um and um.
Speaker 1: I'm generally I keep in touch with a few people
Speaker 1: that I've worked with, like Kathleen, I hadn't talked to
Speaker 1: in a while, but you know we were she love, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we listen. We had to share a trailer a trailer,
Speaker 1: so thank god we got along. Usually we'll get your
Speaker 1: own trailer. We were sharing trailers and Christina appudate. I
Speaker 1: think too. We were all like in the same trailer,
Speaker 1: so thank god we all got along. Well we we
Speaker 1: love talking to you. But um, okay, going back to
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills now or too. I know, um, as a
Speaker 1: fair person that watched the show, I'm assuming which team
Speaker 1: are you, Brandon or Dylan? Everybody wants to know these things. Girl,
Speaker 1: I have to admit this. Oh neither, I'm no, I'm
Speaker 1: actually find I'm like this. I've always been this way
Speaker 1: since I was a kid. Like well, he started off
Speaker 1: with Brenda. So when I was a kid and they'd
Speaker 1: switch him up or change things, I would just it
Speaker 1: made me up tight, and so for some reason, I
Speaker 1: was like, it's supposed to be with Brenda. So I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry, Jenny, don't be sorry. Your character was with Sweeter. Wait,
Speaker 1: feel the same way sometimes watching it back, We're like, wait,
Speaker 1: don't even like this guy? Okay, so your team Brenda.
Speaker 1: I'm just one more thing because I was because I
Speaker 1: think I also was like team Brenda because I've had
Speaker 1: enough boyfriend's cheat on me that I was like, how
Speaker 1: could she do that? You know your character even though
Speaker 1: you weren't really cheating, Well, you kind of were right,
Speaker 1: you kind of stole them right. No, she did not
Speaker 1: steal him. We only know this because we just watched
Speaker 1: it and my memories. You stole in in many, many,
Speaker 1: many memories. They were broken up as they were broken up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I knew that. But she was still Brenda's
Speaker 1: best friends, so that's still pretty I think that's where
Speaker 1: it went in. Although I kind of saw the benefits
Speaker 1: to both, by the way, because you and um Luke
Speaker 1: were really sweet together, so I did. I actually liked
Speaker 1: you both, but I think I was supposed to be
Speaker 1: with Brenda. But did you like Brandon better or Dylan? Oh?
Speaker 1: I was listened Brandon Adwarves, but I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: a bad boy. How do you think I managed to
Speaker 1: get to this age and be unmarried? Oh? Yeah? You like? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I I mean I just like I thought Brandam was adorable.
Speaker 1: You know, he's such a hand. They're both so handsome.
Speaker 1: But there was something about that quiet strength that Luke
Speaker 1: had that I really loved you and many many others.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no doubt. That was a phenomenal man. And
Speaker 1: before we go, I have to nerd out one last
Speaker 1: time and ask you to say people always say Donna
Speaker 1: Martin graduates um, and with Jen I choose me. I
Speaker 1: have to ask you, can you say, um, light is
Speaker 1: a feather stiff? Yeah? I thought you were gonna be
Speaker 1: like all hale corners of the everything, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: any of it. Can you just recite the whole movie
Speaker 1: right for Light is a feather, Stuff is a board
Speaker 1: And we've got the instruction that's one of my lines
Speaker 1: from I Love This and iose are the only ones
Speaker 1: I can remember? Are you guys like me where you
Speaker 1: don't remember anything? Nothing? I don't remember it. It's almost
Speaker 1: like it wasn't me. Me too, my head. I have
Speaker 1: a little I think it's disassociation. Better meet you and therapy. Okay, camera,
Speaker 1: you're rounded out, like I will finish with if anyone
Speaker 1: who's listening is out there and you're like you can't
Speaker 1: afford a shrink or go to a therapist, it's really
Speaker 1: help it's really helpful and healthy to go to a therapist.
Speaker 1: Check out tyrol, but check out my check out other ones,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing like using that to calm myself down
Speaker 1: at two am. And that way, I don't call my
Speaker 1: friends up going like asking him to live in the
Speaker 1: minutia of my brain. I like to work things out
Speaker 1: now before I call my friends. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: That is my friends. They're probably like, thank you. Listen, ladies,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. This is so funny you I
Speaker 1: think I don't want to say anything because we've had
Speaker 1: great guests. You, I think are my favorite guests we've
Speaker 1: ever had. I hope I see your ladies in person someday, please,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. I really would love to connect with
Speaker 1: your ladies in person. And if not, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for letting me come on your show. Well, good
Speaker 1: luck with your bush, good luck with your movie, good
Speaker 1: luck with all these things. Is it called half Baked
Speaker 1: two or is it what's it called? It's called half
Speaker 1: baked too? Okay, Okay, well, I don't know, you know
Speaker 1: sometimes that like I'm still like, what am I doing here?
Speaker 1: Well baked? I don't know if that would be the sequel.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, Baked. Yeah right, thank you.
Speaker 1: We love you, Rachel Truth, thank you, thank you. I
Speaker 1: love is mutual again. I hope you can tell how
Speaker 1: excited I was to be a nerd like I can't

Speaker 1: nerds too, yes all, okay, have a great thank you. Bye,
