Speaker 1: With Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi everybody, welcome back.
Speaker 1: This is our our first real episode of Now Too.
Speaker 1: And o MG, we've been having some some problems, so Tory,
Speaker 1: can you hear me? I can? I can hear you?
Speaker 1: Can you see me here? Can you hear me? Now?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I can hear you very clearly. Yes, Okay, do
Speaker 1: you want me to stop talking? No? Not yet. But
Speaker 1: but it's the podcasting is for the young. This is
Speaker 1: stressful getting the microphone to work because we're not tech savvy.
Speaker 1: But you know what, Pat on the back, we are
Speaker 1: doing a really good job because it's happening like Donkey Kong. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little hectic. Everywhere I think is
Speaker 1: just like kicking all of our asses. Right. Are my alone? No,
Speaker 1: You're definitely not alone. Yeah. I feel like it's been
Speaker 1: a lot and everybody's stressed out. I'm really stressed out
Speaker 1: all the time, and it's a lot. So I kind
Speaker 1: of felt weird about starting a podcast, you know, in
Speaker 1: this moment. I don't know if you felt that. Yes
Speaker 1: and no, because I feel like people are really excited.
Speaker 1: They want to go back to happier times, They want
Speaker 1: to be comforted. They want to laugh and smile, and
Speaker 1: that's so. I guess it's kind of like, we'll just
Speaker 1: consider our shows self care. Then instead of TV. You
Speaker 1: watch show that I like that, let's go that. Give
Speaker 1: yourself an hour and listen to our show. Speaking of
Speaker 1: listening to our show, they probably like to talk about
Speaker 1: about the show. That's right. Yeah, we're here. We're here
Speaker 1: to give you all the fields. We're jumping right into
Speaker 1: the Yeah, the pilot. Why do they call it a pilot?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's something we should have googled
Speaker 1: before we did a podcast, but I have no idea. Well,
Speaker 1: sleep the first episode, first episode, okay, first episode? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first episode was was long, longer than the regular episodes, right,
Speaker 1: it was like ninety minutes? Is that correct? No? I
Speaker 1: was watching and I was like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: is the longest episode of TV I've ever seen. Or
Speaker 1: did they divide it when they aired it into two episodes? Uh?
Speaker 1: They we talked about that last week. You're right, they
Speaker 1: divided it. I think the rest of them are going
Speaker 1: to be like long. Yeah, I tell you what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the show now. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it, all right, right, I watched the show back
Speaker 1: and are you gonna talk or am I gonna talk?
Speaker 1: What do you think? We watched it together? Go go
Speaker 1: over zoom right? Well, okay, so we did. This is
Speaker 1: the first time we have ever watched the show together,
Speaker 1: and we did. I'm not gonna lie. I it took
Speaker 1: me back to us being teenagers and literally like we
Speaker 1: giggled and had commentary overclothes and boys and I don't know,
Speaker 1: and it made me miss you wore because we're not
Speaker 1: in the same city right now. I know I really
Speaker 1: loved watching it with you too, and because I had
Speaker 1: somebody to talk about everything with and maybe that understood, right,
Speaker 1: they don't know all my jokes or whatever. So you
Speaker 1: watched it? How how much did you love it? Though?
Speaker 1: I love the way the show opens. It's like super colorful,
Speaker 1: like beautiful things everywhere. It's creates right out of the gate,
Speaker 1: a world you want to go to, you want to visit, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I love the cinematography on the pilot.
Speaker 1: I agree. Like I'm getting the chills just hearing you
Speaker 1: say that, because it's true, even though you know I
Speaker 1: I grew up in that world. So for me to
Speaker 1: be able to sit back and watch it as just
Speaker 1: a viewer and be like, yeah, I'm transfixed. I want
Speaker 1: to be with these people. You grew up in that world.
Speaker 1: I grew up on a farm basically, and so that
Speaker 1: was the whole new world to me and and they
Speaker 1: It's still like I still want to be a part
Speaker 1: of it when I look at it. I mean it's
Speaker 1: definitely embellished for the sake of TV, you think, but
Speaker 1: we'll get but we'll get to that. Should we start
Speaker 1: at the beginning? Okay, okay, let's do it like the
Speaker 1: way Brandon Walls wakes up with perfectly jelled hair, like
Speaker 1: the mullet off. Oh my god, you just destroyed the
Speaker 1: illusion of like we all want to believe that Jason
Speaker 1: Priestley actually you know what, you guys, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with he probably did wake up with care. I would
Speaker 1: believe it too, back in back in the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he always looked good, not that he doesn't now, but
Speaker 1: like he's a handsome, distinguished man, you know, but that
Speaker 1: moment he just turned fifty, has two kids. But then
Speaker 1: he was just like, wait, can I say that? You
Speaker 1: know what he was as a teen girl, He was
Speaker 1: a dream boat. Can you say that? Were you worried
Speaker 1: that was a bad word? Boat? Like a six year
Speaker 1: old girl? He was eight year olds, don't they did
Speaker 1: in the fifties. So hello, I'm like going back to
Speaker 1: a different era. I'm just bringing it all back. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: But he was dreaming, he was dreaming. Absolutely, Yeah. I
Speaker 1: thought the whole beginning was just so compelling and like,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to spend my time with them. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine like people watching it all over the country,
Speaker 1: all over the world, and like that that image and
Speaker 1: that lifestyle that was all of a sudden exposed to
Speaker 1: them they had never seen. I don't think the audience
Speaker 1: had ever seen like Beverly Hills like that, or you
Speaker 1: know how teens live in Beverly Hills. No way, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just spel the myth. It doesn't. It's not like
Speaker 1: that they're glad we have Valet park. There is no
Speaker 1: valet parking, no, no. But it was it was a
Speaker 1: nice add a touch, like, so you went to this school,
Speaker 1: you went to like Beverly Hills High in real life,
Speaker 1: I goes again, you guys, here's my best friend, has
Speaker 1: no idea where I went to school. No, I love
Speaker 1: this about you. Guys. Wait, I knew you went to school.
Speaker 1: At least I knew that I didn't go to school.
Speaker 1: Did you know that I did know that. M I'm
Speaker 1: street smart, not books at all. Did you really not
Speaker 1: go to school? Well, I went to my sophomore year
Speaker 1: and I didn't like it, so I stopped going. You
Speaker 1: start working? You started working so young that you then No, No,
Speaker 1: that part I didn't know. I well, I just moved
Speaker 1: here from Arizona. I shouldn't go off on a tangent.
Speaker 1: People don't care about this, that this is what they
Speaker 1: care about. They do care about I care. I want
Speaker 1: to hear this. I'm super fascinated. Starting talk quick. Then
Speaker 1: we we just moved here when I decided to be
Speaker 1: an actress, and I was going to re enroll in
Speaker 1: high school because I left between my freshman and sophomore
Speaker 1: year and um or maybe a sophomore junior. I think
Speaker 1: it was sophomore junior. So I went to tour school
Speaker 1: in l A. And and this is this. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a big city and there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1: I was so overwhelmed and like scared that I said, Mom,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't. I can't go in there,
Speaker 1: and I knew no one. I was too freaked out
Speaker 1: by it. And she was so cool about it. She
Speaker 1: um like, she said, it's okay, we'll get you a
Speaker 1: G E D and you don't have to go. So
Speaker 1: that's what I did. Wow, well you started when you
Speaker 1: were like sixteen. Anyways, so yes, shortly after we moved
Speaker 1: to town. But anyway, that's enough about me. You just
Speaker 1: lived the rest of your hearme, do you mean enough
Speaker 1: about you? This is literally a podcast about the two
Speaker 1: of you. I thought about Melly. The podcast is over guys,
Speaker 1: but no, the show is about Kelly and Donnon. What
Speaker 1: was it like seeing your guys names in the credits
Speaker 1: for the first time, even just rewatching it last time?
Speaker 1: Go you say first? Every time I see my name,
Speaker 1: I get excited, like, okay, I did it. We do
Speaker 1: you do that too? I don't like when no one's watching,
Speaker 1: and I hope. I try to get room to cheer,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really catch on. They're here with my wine.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. You grab that wine,
Speaker 1: get it, get it, go leave? You can are the
Speaker 1: children bringing you to This is real life? Mom? Goals.
Speaker 1: Is that a certain name? Oh, it's a beer. I
Speaker 1: think it's a beer. Whatever it does, drink it. Are
Speaker 1: you signing the check? Yes? This is so good. Um
Speaker 1: Tories in a hotel room right now because she's filming
Speaker 1: stuff something. Thank you so much for bringing that up.
Speaker 1: We're filming something too, Hello, thank you so much. So
Speaker 1: back to the show. So the credits they brought sharnay.
Speaker 1: You know I don't drink shar Now that's the issue.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. It's disappointing, but I
Speaker 1: think you can handle handle. Just a switch for today
Speaker 1: for tonight. Fine, and it fixed to day's tested and approved. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the show. Were you excited to? You
Speaker 1: were excited to when you saw your name in the lights?
Speaker 1: You know what they in the credits? Well? Yes, considering. Um, so,
Speaker 1: I have a question I wonder, like now that we
Speaker 1: see it, and we we watched it together over Hulu,
Speaker 1: my name was there, and I was I forget the
Speaker 1: order like, but we all had numbers on the call sheet.
Speaker 1: Do you remember your number? Three? Yeah? I think I
Speaker 1: was eight. So there's Jason. I think so I came
Speaker 1: right after Brian. Brian came after Luke Okay, so yeah,
Speaker 1: but technically when we filmed this, I don't think I
Speaker 1: was a series regular. It probably would have been like
Speaker 1: co starring. But by the time it's on Hulu now
Speaker 1: like my name's up there and I was like, oh, so,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if originally when it aired, probably not.
Speaker 1: I don't know. M that's something to ask a super fan.
Speaker 1: So the only bummer about streaming it and stuff that
Speaker 1: I hadn't witnessed just by watching the pilot it is
Speaker 1: it is the music, like what you brought up, because
Speaker 1: all the soundtrack is completely changed. I feel sorry for
Speaker 1: anybody that's watching it with the with a new soundtrack.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's like there's so much music all
Speaker 1: the time, and so much of you guys, let us
Speaker 1: just day we were cutting edge, like we had all
Speaker 1: of the great like brand new music that was just
Speaker 1: infused in their right, like everything that was popular and well,
Speaker 1: you can go in there's these websites. Do you have
Speaker 1: You have dedicated fans that have created these websites that
Speaker 1: show you exactly what songs were in each episode of
Speaker 1: each season. I know, it's crazy. So it's really nice
Speaker 1: because if you really didn't want to know. You can
Speaker 1: go back and look at that. Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: that's a good thing to do because the music in
Speaker 1: in the new cut is horrid, But if some people
Speaker 1: like it, then I'm happy about that because originally the
Speaker 1: whole story was I mean, the whole story was told
Speaker 1: with the music like it. It really set the tone
Speaker 1: for the show. So I think we can get past it.
Speaker 1: Did music and wardrobe, Oh the wardrobe, we were just
Speaker 1: plu dispillers. Yeah, they gonna put that stuff on anybody.
Speaker 1: So you can get to go back. Can I go
Speaker 1: back to just as a fan because keep in mind,
Speaker 1: like Jen never watched the show, but I want the
Speaker 1: show with my friends weekly every Wednesday night. My actual
Speaker 1: high school friends and I got together in a group
Speaker 1: and we watched it as just like fans, just for
Speaker 1: the first season and then and then it went on.
Speaker 1: But um so, just seeing like the twins, seeing Brandon
Speaker 1: and Brenda, like, oh my gosh, I don't know. Just
Speaker 1: seeing seeing Shannon as Brenda just gave me all the
Speaker 1: fields like that. I was like, oh my god, look
Speaker 1: at them, Like first of all, they're dressed out of place.
Speaker 1: There they drive. Jen and I were just talking about
Speaker 1: this brown car. Let's just call a brown car. It
Speaker 1: was the brown car. Why why that? Why did that
Speaker 1: upset you? Because I'm a detailed persons and the details. Um,
Speaker 1: but just seeing them like he's dreamy, she's beautiful. Yet
Speaker 1: you relate to them because you're like, oh, I just
Speaker 1: want them to win, you know, I want them to succeed.
Speaker 1: So they were so great in the rules, like because
Speaker 1: both of them were were just like they could play
Speaker 1: any part. I mean, Shannon was in Heather's playing the
Speaker 1: popular girl, and now all of a sudden, she was
Speaker 1: like the newbie. So I thought such a testament to
Speaker 1: their acting was really top not, Like, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was surprised because, like you said, I've never watched it,
Speaker 1: and I was in instantly, Like their acting drawed me,
Speaker 1: drew me in, and I really really thought they did
Speaker 1: a good job too. Do you think, um, Jason in
Speaker 1: the early episodes had almost a hint of a New
Speaker 1: York accent. I don't know, I couldn't really hear himut like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well where they were from? Them they were from the Midwest.
Speaker 1: Where are they from again? From? No? They no, No,
Speaker 1: she doesn't know where. It's it's definitely place Minnesota said hello,
Speaker 1: thank you. So there's a twin there, right, isn't there?
Speaker 1: I don't know where there is. That what he was doing,
Speaker 1: he was really getting owning. He was owning it, So
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I was telling Jen this last night, um,
Speaker 1: and she's like, are you doing research? I'm like no.
Speaker 1: It popped up on my Instagram, but it was an
Speaker 1: interview on Instagram with Jason right when the show had
Speaker 1: taken off first season on The Joan Rivers Show. And you, guys,
Speaker 1: this is why I'm bringing it up. He seemed to
Speaker 1: have a New York accent. It was so bizarre. And
Speaker 1: I also told Jenn she was like, give a one
Speaker 1: word answer for all of the cash. She said all
Speaker 1: the cast names except for me. Um, but I still
Speaker 1: loved Joe loved her and uh. And he described Jenny
Speaker 1: as a he said teddy bear and then he said adorable.
Speaker 1: Oh she was like a teddy bear. I'm not a
Speaker 1: teddy bear. I'm like, I know, we're like about prickly pear, prickly,
Speaker 1: that's so you love it. Look at she loves harassing me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not prickly, guys. I do um, I'm a teddy
Speaker 1: bearr you guys, come on, don't you see it? But
Speaker 1: that means it was probably really early on in the season.
Speaker 1: He didn't know you yet and he just like, she's
Speaker 1: so cute and sweet and giggles and hugs. No, I
Speaker 1: think I used to be so much more like giggly
Speaker 1: and like more. You know, we we're young, of course
Speaker 1: we will all were. You are the one that you
Speaker 1: just stay effer besant always and don't ever seem to mature,
Speaker 1: I mean grow up. So now you call me ever
Speaker 1: vescent forever. I love that word. Oh my god. I
Speaker 1: usually like being called cute and quirky. Now I want
Speaker 1: to be called ef Oh does that mean bubbly? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like champagne. Oh I love you. You're like vodka.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is horrible. Well we're getting This
Speaker 1: is what makes up our dynamic. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be Yang. Obviously you're amazing, or I wouldn't be best
Speaker 1: friends with you. What are you talking about? Can I
Speaker 1: be ying sometimes? Okay, it's yin and you're always yan?
Speaker 1: I'm Yang? Did you forget how this goes? I don't
Speaker 1: want to be in Jenny Tory you're yan, I'm yang.
Speaker 1: Can we go back to the poop round car? So? Um? Oh?
Speaker 1: Can we go back first of all to first seeing
Speaker 1: Cindy Walsh Carol Potter. What a beauty m hm stunner.
Speaker 1: How old do you think she was though when she
Speaker 1: did the pilot? Oh? Good question. Oh geez, someone fact checked.
Speaker 1: I think like in her mid thirties, maybe early thirties. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say she was like mid forties. No way,
Speaker 1: I mean someone fact checking. We should fact check this
Speaker 1: because I want to talk about her versus us presently,
Speaker 1: because we're probably about the same age as she was
Speaker 1: playing the mom. Then. M oh interesting. Although Johnny thinks
Speaker 1: she was like thirty one, she is seventy two. No,
Speaker 1: I can't do math. Two. We just filmed with her
Speaker 1: last summer. She looks great, you guys, thirty two, I
Speaker 1: love you all. Could not do that math the voice.
Speaker 1: I didn't even try. No, I didn't even try either. Math.
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't do math. I don't math about that.
Speaker 1: So think about the forty year old woman thirty years
Speaker 1: ago as opposed to the forty year old woman today.
Speaker 1: It's different, It's just portrayed differently. Well yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: so many things throughout the show or portrayed differently in
Speaker 1: today's world like our show. This episode had so many moments,
Speaker 1: cringing moments for me, like where I was uncomfortable with
Speaker 1: what they were saying. Wait, I want to go back
Speaker 1: to like I feel like women in their forties are
Speaker 1: allowed to look hot and young and sexy, but women
Speaker 1: their forties then had to be the mom and it
Speaker 1: was very like conservative and like don't you agree, no,
Speaker 1: you're why are you getting so deep? This is like
Speaker 1: this was Cindy Walsh. She was supposed to look like
Speaker 1: that from Minnesota. I'm fascinated that they were the same,
Speaker 1: like we're older, we're older than the mom, the parents. Okay,
Speaker 1: well can we move on. I don't really like this game.
Speaker 1: Okay fine. So the car, go to the car, go
Speaker 1: to the car, the car, the ship, brown car. So
Speaker 1: Jen said, the reason the car, how do you describe it?
Speaker 1: They were setting the stage was supposed to be like
Speaker 1: a clunker right right, and show like you know they
Speaker 1: didn't have money. They had you know, they didn't get
Speaker 1: new cars like the kids in Beverly Hills. They had
Speaker 1: something news that they didn't work for they didn't fit in.
Speaker 1: And my point to her was, though, but it didn't
Speaker 1: have to be poop brown, like that's just taking it
Speaker 1: too far. And Mondale was the car, right, Yes, the
Speaker 1: car had a name. Why did it even have a name?
Speaker 1: For the guys they must have named it Mondale? They mustn't,
Speaker 1: probably the guys or or like, who's these guys they
Speaker 1: speak up? I don't know, just the guys that made
Speaker 1: all the decisions about everything. I wonder why it was Mondale.
Speaker 1: There must be a reason, or if like Jason and
Speaker 1: the guys just like named it that one day so
Speaker 1: they wrote it in that's it. But it was easy
Speaker 1: to be pooped brown because I've never seen a car,
Speaker 1: even a clunker that's poop brown. And then you had
Speaker 1: someone like Iron ZERI and like Steve Sanders car Ferrari.
Speaker 1: His license plate even was personalized. I ate a for
Speaker 1: are so good? You? All the cars? T shirts? Do
Speaker 1: you have? You know? I'd like one he has? Oh
Speaker 1: oh he has them. He'll give you one he has
Speaker 1: market I sleep in it. I sleep in my hute.
Speaker 1: You know. I saw also that the Nana two and
Speaker 1: oh bro has um his license plate is not is
Speaker 1: does he have it now, really yeah, on a vintage
Speaker 1: car or something. I think I saw that in his feedom.
Speaker 1: But other cars were so flashy and gorgeous and like
Speaker 1: everything that was so even the teachers had crappier cars
Speaker 1: in the students. That was that. That's when we're talking
Speaker 1: about about a cringing moment, like portraying teachers like they
Speaker 1: can't they have to park in a separate parking lot
Speaker 1: with the with the shitty cars and the sign like
Speaker 1: staff and facul faculty staff and faculty parking. It was
Speaker 1: all like basting and batterned and dirty and like when
Speaker 1: you were saying a teacher flew out of a van
Speaker 1: that was straight out of like Fast Times at Richmond High.
Speaker 1: It was like a coolie van, but the teacher was
Speaker 1: like running like he was late. Like that was weird, weird.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. But when you said cringe e,
Speaker 1: I was thinking more of like the Brenda scene where
Speaker 1: she meets the guy at the club and like it
Speaker 1: take her back. How do you know my cringing moments?
Speaker 1: That is another one. When I talked about the feelings
Speaker 1: about that, I get worked up. Okay, I think it's
Speaker 1: because I have teenage daughters. But seeing wait, you're going forward,
Speaker 1: Well can't we can't we go for Well, I think
Speaker 1: we can because I think we actually have Maxwell ready
Speaker 1: if we want to talk to him. Wait a second, Hi, Hi,
Speaker 1: it's so good to see you. Wow, it's been a minute. Thanks,
Speaker 1: still still ticking. So do you remember, I mean, of
Speaker 1: course you remember being on the show and playing that character.
Speaker 1: I have two distinct memories, um um. I. First off,
Speaker 1: Tori's dad obviously gifted me the role, as he did
Speaker 1: practically my whole career, and uh with his with his passing,
Speaker 1: it practically ended. But at the same I double edged
Speaker 1: sword working for Aaron because you got sort of categorized
Speaker 1: as a spelling style actor. But it didn't mean it
Speaker 1: just meant that you you know, you had a lot
Speaker 1: of gusto and obviously you had your at the time
Speaker 1: in that a peak of your youth. You had your
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, my ten logs going yeah, And so that's
Speaker 1: why that compliment means a lot, thank you, um uh.
Speaker 1: But there was also, I think as the situation that
Speaker 1: your work would be shallow, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: as opposed to and the best way to always tackle
Speaker 1: work from the errand spelling uh for farm production line
Speaker 1: was to really go at it with total gusto and
Speaker 1: uh so. Funnily enough, my first scene was with with Shannon,
Speaker 1: and she was such a trooper. It was a location.
Speaker 1: It was some townhouse on the edge of Beverly Hills
Speaker 1: where I guess my character owned an apartment and had
Speaker 1: taken her back there. She was practically jail bait. Kind
Speaker 1: of creepy. I know, of offense to you, but it
Speaker 1: was kind of creepy to me. It kind of reminded
Speaker 1: me of like American Psycho said that, which is a
Speaker 1: huge compliment Christian sexy, but yeah, I feel super sexy.
Speaker 1: It all made sense. But they always were tapping in,
Speaker 1: even in the pilot, into things that teens were actually
Speaker 1: going through. And at the time that happened, that's right.
Speaker 1: I was playing a kind of uh a l a
Speaker 1: slight attorney who had a yend for young women, and um,
Speaker 1: Brenda came onto my radar and but as I say,
Speaker 1: Shannon was amazing. I mean the first thing we had
Speaker 1: to do was make out. We literally we didn't leave,
Speaker 1: like there's almost no first I know it always happens
Speaker 1: in your first scene is like always the love scene,
Speaker 1: of the makeout scene. Why did they do Why do
Speaker 1: they do that to actors? But in this instance they
Speaker 1: were rushing. They were rushing because they they had already
Speaker 1: moved location once that day and they wanted to grab
Speaker 1: this shot at the end of the day. I literally
Speaker 1: did not have time to say hello to the girl.
Speaker 1: You know where I had to go into like the
Speaker 1: full tongue sandwich routine. It was like, hilarious, But Maxwell
Speaker 1: Coffee just said, tongue sandwich. I think I'm exaggerated. Did
Speaker 1: you stick in Shannon Doherty's mouth? No? But I tell
Speaker 1: you what I do. Recall I was in the very
Speaker 1: last shot at the pilot too, and it was again
Speaker 1: it was a night shot, and I was sitting on
Speaker 1: a wall with her set up the lights somewhere, and
Speaker 1: she was like going, listen, Okay, I'm not I'm knocking
Speaker 1: off this pilot. She goes, but if if those guys,
Speaker 1: and she was referring to her agents who happened to
Speaker 1: be my agents too, a couple of guys called Scott
Speaker 1: Harris and Howard Goldberg who went on to be partners
Speaker 1: in Innovative Or certainly Scott did dear Howard lesters, but
Speaker 1: she goes, if they haven't got me another gig by
Speaker 1: next month, I'm out of there. She goes, because I
Speaker 1: guess she wasn't convinced that the pilot was going to sell,
Speaker 1: as she was just so so keen to work and
Speaker 1: actual there were quite a few doubts. I think he
Speaker 1: thought the show would go over it. It kind of
Speaker 1: helped launch the Fox network. If I recall, it's thirty
Speaker 1: years ago now, right years ago? Yes, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but can you be on every episode of our show?
Speaker 1: This is amazing. He's detail oriented like me, right, Jen.
Speaker 1: He remembers everything he does. What a memory? You must
Speaker 1: take your gingobaba? Yes? Yeah. And the other thing I
Speaker 1: remember now but I only just cross my mind was
Speaker 1: a sequence we shot, you know, the Bibly glenn Center.
Speaker 1: They're at the top of Beverly Glennier with a little
Speaker 1: restaurants and a little parade of shops there. There used
Speaker 1: to be a really nice Italian restaurant. I think it
Speaker 1: became a jazz club later, but we were sitting in
Speaker 1: a scene around it. Garlic knots there. Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't need those No good point, but
Speaker 1: this was this was my only other I think I
Speaker 1: had three scenes totally in the pilot, and this one,
Speaker 1: the lighting guys had rigged a lamp directly over this
Speaker 1: table um in the trellis work overhead, and there was
Speaker 1: sort of this ominous creaking sound, and the way I
Speaker 1: recall it, I suddenly sort of pushed Channon back and
Speaker 1: this huge lamp crashed out onto the table. But we
Speaker 1: saved Shannon Doory's life. Well, I'd like to take take
Speaker 1: like claim to that she she may, she may beg
Speaker 1: to differ, but I saw myself as Prince Charming in
Speaker 1: this show, even though I was playing Allege. But the
Speaker 1: thing is is that I went ballistic. I sort of
Speaker 1: like he started yelling at all the grips and stuff, like,
Speaker 1: you know, what is this amateur night production with this
Speaker 1: half baked script. I was really furious because one of
Speaker 1: us could have And at this point, suddenly this young
Speaker 1: man steps up and he goes, well, actually I wrote
Speaker 1: the script, and I went, oh, oh, Mr Star, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was it's just a heat of the moment, you know,
Speaker 1: explosion of temper um. But I didn't get asked to
Speaker 1: come back, so that may explain it. Already subsequent there
Speaker 1: and started. That is like an example of what not
Speaker 1: to do to come back. I really indeed myself to
Speaker 1: the crew going off on them too. Yeah, watch them
Speaker 1: let you nice. Ever again, we I have a question. Sorry,
Speaker 1: timelines aren't gonna be right. But wait, were you you
Speaker 1: were on Dynasty and the Colby's at this time, like
Speaker 1: you would, I've done my stint. I've done a brief
Speaker 1: Dynasty segue to the Colby's, the spinoff as it were,
Speaker 1: with that great all star cast that your dad put together,
Speaker 1: legends of the industry, Charlton Heston and Barbara Stanwick and
Speaker 1: Catherine Ross and recaught a montle Bond and some really
Speaker 1: spectacular people. And he was so sweet. He was such
Speaker 1: a loyal producer. As you know, you've heard this countless times.
Speaker 1: Tori he um he I think he put me on
Speaker 1: his new edition of the Love Boat. Um not not
Speaker 1: a member of the crew or anything, uh smarter than that,
Speaker 1: but he gave me a nice turn playing some hysterical
Speaker 1: French chef, I think, um, And I just uh, I
Speaker 1: just can't say enough about the man. Really, he was
Speaker 1: very good to him to to to myself of course,
Speaker 1: but also to my wife, Juliette Mills. He employed her
Speaker 1: any number of times. I think she did so many
Speaker 1: guest shots on the Love Boats, playing the foil for
Speaker 1: these great comic actors that your dad used to like
Speaker 1: to cast her opposite because she's such a funny girl itself.
Speaker 1: That they ended a Yeah, they ended up giving your
Speaker 1: sake in the last episode she was working in the
Speaker 1: gift shop. She had become a member of the crew. Well,
Speaker 1: you're my knowledge. My dad adored you, and he always
Speaker 1: said he's a star and thank you, so thank you
Speaker 1: for those kind words. That makes me, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that warms my dad a lot. The whole industry, sorry,
Speaker 1: the whole industry does. I feel like the new generation
Speaker 1: people don't know my dad and that makes me sad.
Speaker 1: You used to or you used to have to do you.
Speaker 1: He used to have that meeting place with that bench,
Speaker 1: I remember, and there was you know, any number of
Speaker 1: people who worked his associates were around him. But he
Speaker 1: would sit on that bench, pupping on his pipe. And
Speaker 1: basically he didn't ask you to act. He just assumed
Speaker 1: you could act. He just wanted to make sure you're
Speaker 1: a decent guy, you know, and then you walk out
Speaker 1: of the room having nailed the gig. I remember a
Speaker 1: very similar story with him, like he was so sweet
Speaker 1: during my audition that when I left your audition. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: but I just want to tell you this funny moment.
Speaker 1: When I left the building that his offices were in
Speaker 1: after my audition, I was walking across the parking lot
Speaker 1: and I heard someone like call out for me, and
Speaker 1: I looked back and he was hanging out of the
Speaker 1: window on the second story of this building, second or
Speaker 1: third story of this building, hanging out of the window
Speaker 1: and waving at me, and he was like, good job.
Speaker 1: He was like he good thumbs up that this huge Jenny.
Speaker 1: You have no idea how he hated heights so he
Speaker 1: loved you from from jump. Well, I he made me
Speaker 1: feel special from the gate. Yeah, I'm very proud of
Speaker 1: what you all went onto to do. I mean, Gabrielle
Speaker 1: obviously are are our leader at the screen. Ash as
Speaker 1: guilt Um not really well she is. She's been in
Speaker 1: a position now for she since two thousand and twelve,
Speaker 1: I think, and um third term she's serving. I got
Speaker 1: to do a movie with Jason about three years later,
Speaker 1: a fun movie that should have done better called calendar girl,
Speaker 1: I just had a turn in that sweet well. And obviously,
Speaker 1: without wanting to to to to bring you girls tears,
Speaker 1: we've I've already been trying talking about dear daddy. Um
Speaker 1: you know Luke Luke who really genuinely did have a
Speaker 1: Jane in quality, which is frankly, in my book, the
Speaker 1: highest praise you can pay pay to any uh young actor.
Speaker 1: Uh that the fact that he signed off with a
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino movie once upon upon a time in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I just think it's just the neatest thing, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: And um, you know they say stars know how to
Speaker 1: make exits and and and entrance this, you know. So uh,
Speaker 1: you're all you're all doing great. And obviously we all
Speaker 1: want Shannon to to push through and and and show
Speaker 1: her resilience. As I say, she's a she's a feisty
Speaker 1: broad she was back then. I'm sure she's never let now.
Speaker 1: She's a fighter. She's a very strong woman. So I'm
Speaker 1: lots of Shannon. If she's listening today, she'd love to
Speaker 1: hear that you're you're amazing. Oh my gosh. I love
Speaker 1: hearing you speak and hearing your stories. I would be
Speaker 1: amiss if I didn't ask about Greece too, because this
Speaker 1: is one my favorite. Wait, yeah, it's right. Tell us
Speaker 1: what I don't want to hear about Michelle Phifer. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about cool writer, oh my head, about
Speaker 1: the kids, Okay, And no, I must say I would
Speaker 1: honestly have to say now I've been I have been
Speaker 1: blessed to make out with some very pretty women over
Speaker 1: the years. Um. And but Michelle, Michelle, when she did
Speaker 1: deliver in that department, really did I mean, I really
Speaker 1: was seeing stars. She kept she kept me, she kept
Speaker 1: me on lean raption throughout the shot the shoot, and
Speaker 1: I don't mean in terms of an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: ahold of her physically. I just mean in terms of
Speaker 1: just our emotional connection. But when it came to to
Speaker 1: the the crux in all the key scenes, the dyna scene,
Speaker 1: um and obviously the scenes on the bike, and then
Speaker 1: right at the end of the movie, uh frolling out
Speaker 1: Tori's fan growing out right now, thanks freaking out right now,
Speaker 1: keep talking? I mean, yeah, she said, she obviously absolutely
Speaker 1: luminous a girl, uh woman, And one of the most
Speaker 1: the most fun experience I ever had was making that movie.
Speaker 1: Um and the second I would have to say, was
Speaker 1: doing um in terms of film and TV, was doing um,
Speaker 1: was doing the Colbys, the theories too, fantastic years, wearing
Speaker 1: Italian suits, driving Ferrari's. You know, six ft tall girlfriends,
Speaker 1: um and um. Although I'm married to a five ft
Speaker 1: tall woman, so it's not necessarily my predilection. Is just
Speaker 1: that sort Rod Stewart thing, you know, runway model type.
Speaker 1: Jax we we canbouts agrees to in the night. We
Speaker 1: have more questions about you and your wife. Sorry, um,
Speaker 1: we did you have a crush on my Shelle Piper
Speaker 1: during the movie? Like you know, actors, we all know
Speaker 1: you kind of the lines blur, are you spending so
Speaker 1: much time in an emotional connection? Think? Well, I tell you,
Speaker 1: I tell you what we did? We both be both
Speaker 1: were very cognizant of the fact that if the film clicked,
Speaker 1: it could have really launched our careers in a major way,
Speaker 1: right uh, And so there was a bit of a
Speaker 1: focus on that for both of us. I don't mean
Speaker 1: we were in our separate camps talking to our entourages
Speaker 1: about our next move or anything, but um, my recollection
Speaker 1: of it is is that Michelle actually seemed to get
Speaker 1: on with She got on famously with everybody. Um, but
Speaker 1: she had part of her mistique was that she did
Speaker 1: have a reserve about it, which a lot of movie
Speaker 1: stars do. They saved a part of themselves. So um.
Speaker 1: To read between the lines, I would have to say,
Speaker 1: I know that there was times when I would be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she gets on better with the teamsters
Speaker 1: than she does with the leading jelly. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a little jelly. No we no listen. I had a
Speaker 1: chorus line full of high school girls that that was
Speaker 1: to keep me otherwise engaged. Say that again? So funny,
Speaker 1: funny enough. My dad gave Michelle phife for her first job.
Speaker 1: It was a serious or pilot didn't go, I don't
Speaker 1: think called bad cats. Um, but he was like she's
Speaker 1: And then he worked with you. So it's interesting that
Speaker 1: you guys were both in greased just a little little yeah.
Speaker 1: There you go. Listen, girls, you're doing a great job.
Speaker 1: How many episodes this you gonna do? We don't know.
Speaker 1: You're you're on our very first episode. How does that?
Speaker 1: My hug in the air weights, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Um more? Can we ask them about your relationship with
Speaker 1: your wife? How long have you guys been married. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna believe this. We are going to be married
Speaker 1: beginning of next month. It's gonna be our ruby wedding anniversary,
Speaker 1: meaning what does that know? What what numbers? Ruby? Ruby
Speaker 1: is four ug and you got forty years married to
Speaker 1: the same Hollywood in Hollywood? Please what is the secret? Well,
Speaker 1: two actors like, what is the secret? How do you know?
Speaker 1: That's true? That's very tricky. There's usually some sacrifice involved,
Speaker 1: and in so far as it's very tough for two
Speaker 1: people to sustains the later please thank you? Okay, So
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say, well, obviously you you
Speaker 1: have to maintain great respect for one another. Uh, you
Speaker 1: have to enjoy one another's company and be amused. Juliet
Speaker 1: has been very good at getting me the lot, see
Speaker 1: the funny you know, see the funny side of my
Speaker 1: own personality, um and um. And then of course, the
Speaker 1: other big trick is fidelity. It's the it's the number
Speaker 1: one item of of keeping a marriage together, is you know.
Speaker 1: And that's where actors are lucky because they get to
Speaker 1: work out a lot of their emotions, negative and positive,
Speaker 1: often on screen. As you know, they made you guys go,
Speaker 1: you ladies go through the gamut during the course of
Speaker 1: your years on the on the on the air, and
Speaker 1: you just got to find a way to have a
Speaker 1: release valve and just make sure that it's not with
Speaker 1: your partner, you know what I mean. You don't You
Speaker 1: can't and join this pandemic. It's very it's challenging because
Speaker 1: we're all stuck together. Like, yeah, so you have to
Speaker 1: be careful. I mean I have to. I suddenly found
Speaker 1: myself suddenly just like losing the plot for no reason,
Speaker 1: and it's just because of pent up fear. Really, you know,
Speaker 1: are you ever gonna work again? Is? Uh? Is? Are
Speaker 1: we all going to get through this? Are we gonna
Speaker 1: survive this administration? You know, those kinds of things pressing
Speaker 1: in on you before you realize it. You know, whatever
Speaker 1: anger that has has been generated by fear, really is
Speaker 1: there's only two real emotions at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: love and fear. Right and um so practice you know,
Speaker 1: make love not more. Okay, what a cliche. Well, I
Speaker 1: have all the respect in the world for your wife.
Speaker 1: I've watched her my whole life, and but but I
Speaker 1: can but and you can tell her this. I'm crushing
Speaker 1: on you, right now she's a lovely lady. Speak to
Speaker 1: me more like, No, you're just you're so engaging. Sweet. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad. Just your your your legal age. Now I
Speaker 1: don't feel so bad. We've enjoyed talking to you so much. Maxwell.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you, great pleasure. Thank you. Still
Speaker 1: you still both look fab absolutely fat. Thank you and
Speaker 1: have fun with this. You're gonna get a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of love back. I'm sure you've been receiving it
Speaker 1: for years. But people want to feel feel positive feelings now,
Speaker 1: not negative ones, and so you evoking the heyday of
Speaker 1: their own news is is a wonderful thing. And stay
Speaker 1: young and beautiful both of you, and hope to see
Speaker 1: you see you before too long. Huh I do Oh wait,
Speaker 1: he didn't ask me to marry him. I thought those
Speaker 1: were his vows to me. Wow, I was at the
Speaker 1: chapel with you. Okay, you're gonna have fun with this.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Thanks. What a cool guy.
Speaker 1: I'm speechless. You are. Yeah, he's like everything pretty much
Speaker 1: rolled into the opposite of the character that he played.
Speaker 1: Thank god. I was so worried he was going to
Speaker 1: be creepy. Well, because he played that, we don't know
Speaker 1: anything besides what he played. Wait you guys, how come
Speaker 1: I do you hear a little bit of an act scent? Right,
Speaker 1: but his wife is British but he's not. It's probably
Speaker 1: rubbed off on him. You know how that works, like
Speaker 1: when you it really has super sexy. Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: He's very intelligent, charming, clever boy. He also is British
Speaker 1: British Just kidding. Then wown's and he's a great actor
Speaker 1: because I never knew that. No, he's also he was
Speaker 1: so he was only in the pilot. He should have
Speaker 1: been in more. I'm just going on record. No, he
Speaker 1: had his little he had his diva moment and then
Speaker 1: the crew didn't want him. I mean, but that'll get
Speaker 1: you not invited back. But is that is that right? Though?
Speaker 1: Like with with something like that really happened or do
Speaker 1: or do the crew just deal with talent? So it's
Speaker 1: so funny because remember Jen, before the show, I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like during that scene something happened with him
Speaker 1: and Shannon and I wasn't sure what the thing was.
Speaker 1: And now he told the story. So it was that
Speaker 1: moment that he freaked out. Okay, so it's all coming
Speaker 1: back together. I remember Shannon was like, something happened with
Speaker 1: this actor? It was remember what it was? You thought
Speaker 1: it was something much more scandalous, but I'm glad that
Speaker 1: it was only did you want to take you on
Speaker 1: a date? What happened? What happened? But no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was that he did that interesting good on him.
Speaker 1: He's okay, Well, when we are next thing we produced,
Speaker 1: we're gonna, uh, we're going to follow suit with my
Speaker 1: dad that he loved, loved Maxwell call Field. We're gonna
Speaker 1: put a minute. Okay, sounds good and we need to
Speaker 1: take a break right now, so let's do that. Well,
Speaker 1: we're back. You know. Another big moment from episode one
Speaker 1: was the party Maryanne Moore's party. What a party? What
Speaker 1: that was? Do you remember filming that night? That's the
Speaker 1: night you say you remember most about. I can see
Speaker 1: us standing there right now because it was the first
Speaker 1: night that we you know, we literally had to stand
Speaker 1: like in place. They cut to us like we're standing
Speaker 1: off with Shannon, And now that we we re watched it,
Speaker 1: there were two other girls, right, Yeah, we had friends
Speaker 1: guy in the in the episode. Actually, you all drive
Speaker 1: together in the car and then and then Tori is
Speaker 1: not in the car when you come back, I left
Speaker 1: the party. She has a different explanation. Donna just remember exactly,
Speaker 1: but because it was an age thing and I could
Speaker 1: only work a certain amount of hours, and the others
Speaker 1: were I thought. I thought Brenda was in and Donna
Speaker 1: was out, Like she got the front seat and everything.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, I think, yeah she did at the
Speaker 1: front seat. I filmed as many hours because I was
Speaker 1: a minor. You guys, whatever, Oh my goodness, So Brandon
Speaker 1: Walsh and Marianne Moore kick it off played by Leslie Bayam,
Speaker 1: Well it can we just roll back for one second.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that that that scene where I talked
Speaker 1: about my nose job, and then you have the brochure
Speaker 1: at the party. Did you notice that I had a brochure?
Speaker 1: You remember that I did not have that. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you have the brochure the nose think gets brought up,
Speaker 1: brought up to get at the party and then you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so then like I got this and this. I totally
Speaker 1: must have zoned out. I didn't see that part. Wow,
Speaker 1: But as a sixteen or seventeen year old girl, I
Speaker 1: had like major like mess me up in my head.
Speaker 1: So for the rest of my life, I thought I
Speaker 1: need a nose job, Like I didn't know what a
Speaker 1: nose job was. Oh my gosh. And I was like
Speaker 1: one of your first scenes. Yeah, yeah, clearly I was
Speaker 1: taking notes because episode two I got a nose job
Speaker 1: like the pilot is is the that's my real nose
Speaker 1: in the pilot. Just it is beautiful, vintage. It's nage,
Speaker 1: your vintage notes. It was a beautiful nose. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have done anything nowadays, like oh yeah, just Hollywood. And
Speaker 1: Jenn said to me later because later Jen said to
Speaker 1: me earlier when I brought this up, would you say, ah, well,
Speaker 1: you can't go back now, Yeah, you can't go back.
Speaker 1: And I feel better. So Marianne Moore, it gets teamy
Speaker 1: with her, is Brandon Walsh so exciting because it is
Speaker 1: the most legendary kissing scene. I think, like I think
Speaker 1: boys and girls were losing their mind across the world,
Speaker 1: losing their mind. It was so hot and heavy. The
Speaker 1: whole show was hot and heavy, but just to come
Speaker 1: out of the gate with the scene like that, she
Speaker 1: was so so sexy. I remember just thinking she's a goddess,
Speaker 1: like all her clothes. I love, the clothes she wore,
Speaker 1: the earrings she wore, the way she talked. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think I was in love and like a cool
Speaker 1: girl in high school, like, oh MG, Like I am
Speaker 1: happily married, but I want to be kissed by Marianne
Speaker 1: Moore or Leslie Bega. I mean either or I'm just saying, well,
Speaker 1: you can ask her yourself. Okay, Yes, this is so good.
Speaker 1: This is so good. You're kidding. She's on the line,
Speaker 1: Leslie goddess. We're so excited to have you here with
Speaker 1: you are so beautiful. It's so see you, guys, Jenny,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you since the pilot. No, we are
Speaker 1: really happy that you're with us, because I think all
Speaker 1: of America and the world wanted to really meet the
Speaker 1: actress behind the beautiful body and face. Brandon had many
Speaker 1: girlfriends and dates over the years of ten years, but
Speaker 1: Marianne Moore is the one that everyone remembers. Members. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you were so memorable, and that character was so memorable.
Speaker 1: I thought that rememberable memorable, well, but that character was
Speaker 1: she never gets flustered, memorable, memorable. Thank you. So we
Speaker 1: just rewatched the episode together the pilot and Jen was like, oh,
Speaker 1: my gosh, her outfits were everything, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: she was the coolest girl, like if like back in
Speaker 1: high school, that was the girl you want to be
Speaker 1: friends with. Did you love what you were wearing because
Speaker 1: you look so comfortable in it? I did, you know?
Speaker 1: I think, Um, for such a iconic pop culture kind
Speaker 1: of show, one thing that I can say is they
Speaker 1: really stayed um ahead with the times in terms of fashion,
Speaker 1: because that really was the fashion of the time. We
Speaker 1: were coming right out of the nineties, right, Yeah, baby
Speaker 1: doll dresses and boots like you you pretty much created
Speaker 1: that look. Yeah, those were my combats. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. I had the thing that really like
Speaker 1: drew me to even auditioning for this. Not only was
Speaker 1: because of Aaron and I hadn't met you guys, um,
Speaker 1: but Tim Hunter was such a phenomenal director and really
Speaker 1: I haven't his edge and my girlfriend I only got it,
Speaker 1: of course, because she's just incredible in every way. And
Speaker 1: I remember saying to Tim, I don't care what I do,
Speaker 1: I want to work with you. And when I got
Speaker 1: the auditions for this pilot and I saw who was
Speaker 1: directing it, I was like, how can I not how
Speaker 1: can I not? You know, we was happy to have
Speaker 1: him because I knew that he was going to bring
Speaker 1: something kind of edgy as well through in the way
Speaker 1: he shoots, in the way his artistic and creative integrity works.
Speaker 1: How could you bring something edgy to primetime television through
Speaker 1: Aaron Spelling with teenagers involved? UM? And I remember coming in.
Speaker 1: I was reading for Tony Shepard UM and Aaron was
Speaker 1: there and Tim was there, and I was so nervous
Speaker 1: and I looked at him and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out a way. This seems like it's
Speaker 1: just going to be such an incredible show. I've got
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to to you know, navigate
Speaker 1: and figure out how to how we can all work
Speaker 1: together on this. And I remember auditioning and I remember leaving.
Speaker 1: There's something that was so sentimental to me. And I
Speaker 1: left and I was I was walking, I was walking
Speaker 1: out and I started to cry, and I thought, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be such an amazing I predicted that. I
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be such an amazing show
Speaker 1: some ways, somehow, just it was something iconic for that
Speaker 1: era and it and it was a voice for that era. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can you tell me my future, give me some lottery numbers.
Speaker 1: And I remember working on working on the show, and
Speaker 1: I remember some extra just coming up and talking and
Speaker 1: talking about, uh you, Tori, And I said, you know,
Speaker 1: this whole thing didn't happen because of Aaron, had happened
Speaker 1: because of Tory. What do you mean, Well, Tony had
Speaker 1: told me that you had found the script, you had
Speaker 1: read the script and told your dad that you wanted
Speaker 1: to do something with it. It was some kind of
Speaker 1: story like that. And I was like, so this is
Speaker 1: really toring. That's a true story. Well, I told him
Speaker 1: it was good. I told him it totally mirrored what
Speaker 1: was actually happened happening with teens. I mean I did
Speaker 1: tell him that cast Chase appriseently Shane Doherty, But other
Speaker 1: than that, I didn't get anything. Do you ever get
Speaker 1: like stopped or people say, oh my god, I know
Speaker 1: you from somewhere, what were you marrying? More people ever
Speaker 1: freak out? I mean, they know you from so many things,
Speaker 1: but from that specifically, right, I get it. And sometimes
Speaker 1: I told them they saw me on a picture on
Speaker 1: a park bench from Real Estate innch Wait, no, wait
Speaker 1: that didn't come out right. Sorry, No, I had to
Speaker 1: fly under the radar. I always have, even when I
Speaker 1: was in college, I was a g D. I I
Speaker 1: was always kind of like this incognitive person and I
Speaker 1: navigate in and out of the entertainment industry. And I
Speaker 1: was doing real estate at a very young age. Actually,
Speaker 1: I used some of my entertainment earnings from nine or
Speaker 1: two and oh and put towards the property I bought.
Speaker 1: I've been buying properties with my entertainment money. So for me,
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't see myself in this area
Speaker 1: of the industry. For a very long time, I was
Speaker 1: I was heading into something else so interesting. You, I
Speaker 1: believe it. You're so much like Marianne Moore. I'm like
Speaker 1: she was very under the radar and mysterious, and you're
Speaker 1: super like you don't know what's going to happen with you. Next,
Speaker 1: you were eating sushi at lunchtime, and at lunch time.
Speaker 1: I want to know about the kiss. Yeah we okay,
Speaker 1: So I want to know we're gonna go deep here. Well,
Speaker 1: they already did that, but let's know about the kids.
Speaker 1: We have to hear about the kiss. The kiss in
Speaker 1: the hot tub. H spilled the tea. You know again,
Speaker 1: I think it's the way it was shot, and it
Speaker 1: was so um there's something so ethereal about it because
Speaker 1: that hot tub was in the middle of of like
Speaker 1: the soliage and this yard. Do you know we shot
Speaker 1: Do you know where that house was, right the mommy
Speaker 1: dearest house in the hills? Did you know that that
Speaker 1: was the mommy Oh my god? I ended up with
Speaker 1: being part of that sale when it sold recently. Now
Speaker 1: it's all it's on Middleton. It was on a million
Speaker 1: dollar listening right right. But yeah, there was this hot
Speaker 1: tub in the middle of of this stunning foliage. The
Speaker 1: way they had built it into, like the trees and
Speaker 1: the and the bush cologe um. The way Tim and
Speaker 1: the cinematographer captured that made it so special, like very
Speaker 1: beautiful special and um we can we I love hearing this.
Speaker 1: Can we get to the kissing part? Though she doesn't
Speaker 1: care about that. She wants to know the good stuff
Speaker 1: well in profile and it was so close the way
Speaker 1: it was shot. Jason is an awesome kisser there, it is.
Speaker 1: This is true heart. He heard it here well you
Speaker 1: know from the looks of it, he would probably say
Speaker 1: the same thing about you back in the day because
Speaker 1: that kiss that, like, how did you guys get into
Speaker 1: that kiss? Because it's a very it's a major kiss,
Speaker 1: like for TV back then, that was an open mouth,
Speaker 1: lips sucking kiss. I don't know if I want my
Speaker 1: teenager watching that, honestly, Like it made me a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: You sucked Jason Priestley's bottom. We're just gonna put it
Speaker 1: out there, and I was right there for it. I
Speaker 1: speaking of the kiss, you to me how to kiss?
Speaker 1: You did teach them how to kiss and your lips
Speaker 1: specifically a topic of conversation just because of the beauty
Speaker 1: of them. I cannot, Okay, So I have to ask,
Speaker 1: can I hear first about you sucking on Jason Priestley's
Speaker 1: bottom lip? It was like a slow, fine artistic It
Speaker 1: was very artistic. But that was a choice. Clearly, Oh
Speaker 1: you know, it takes it takes two, doesn't it. You
Speaker 1: can't just you know, have one person kiss one person
Speaker 1: and not about like that. Chemistry was there between you guys,
Speaker 1: clearly and great kisser and he was gorgeous and he
Speaker 1: still did I saw him, Um, I saw him, and
Speaker 1: we hung out a couple of nights, we went to
Speaker 1: dinner and hung out. When I was in New York
Speaker 1: um when I was doing sopranos. I called him. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm in town, what are you doing? You
Speaker 1: want to hang out? And you know, you guys have
Speaker 1: never changed. It's like you guys never age you either,
Speaker 1: I mean, look in the mirror. So during during the pilot,
Speaker 1: we all heard about the kiss, just just saying, we
Speaker 1: all heard about this kiss. Uh for lack of a
Speaker 1: better word. Lips were sealed, though, but we all speculated,
Speaker 1: did they have a real life crush on each other?
Speaker 1: Like there's so much chemistry and we've heard crush on him?
Speaker 1: Didn't Jen? Did you have a crush on Jason? Did?
Speaker 1: I did? I felt I appreciated everything about him, but
Speaker 1: I never had a crush on it. Why you so fidgity,
Speaker 1: fidgitty all of a sudden, We'll get to that. Brandon
Speaker 1: and Kelly are way down the line. Brandon and Kelly
Speaker 1: kissed so many times, and then Jason and Jenny on
Speaker 1: b H nine two and O and there was it
Speaker 1: was a different kiss. It was a different type type
Speaker 1: of kiss with Brandon and Marianna. It just was And
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I'm going to tell you right now,
Speaker 1: Leslie Bega. I was sixteen years old, and I have
Speaker 1: modeled my kissing efforts after you, and I know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest here. My whole life, I was always like,
Speaker 1: here's how you get a boy. You slowly suck on
Speaker 1: the bottom lip kissing tips right here, kissing tips with
Speaker 1: Leslie Bega. Well, she was so mesmerized by your lips
Speaker 1: that we um model, we want to have your lips?
Speaker 1: Is that? Oh yeah? I feel weird saying that I
Speaker 1: wanted your lips. So we were super nervous to like
Speaker 1: bring this up with you, and we asked our friends
Speaker 1: this here to bring it up. But I think we
Speaker 1: could just go for it. We feel really comfortable. I
Speaker 1: feel I feel comfortable with you. Now. It's good. We're good.
Speaker 1: We were like when we were writing the b H
Speaker 1: version of a couple of years ago, we were talking
Speaker 1: about you and how much we both loved you and
Speaker 1: how what an impression you made to us, and we
Speaker 1: were like, what was the character's name? We can't remember,
Speaker 1: and we knew it was an M name, right, I
Speaker 1: know it was an M name, And we were racking
Speaker 1: our brains and it was really really irritating and finally
Speaker 1: almost like the lips Lips McGhee, she added a cuteness
Speaker 1: to it. So now, like Lips McGhee, you to us,
Speaker 1: you were lips Mage for a minute. It was like
Speaker 1: we cherished it. We'll never forget those lips. And by
Speaker 1: the way, you guys, I just saw her two years
Speaker 1: ago in person. The lips are still just as beautiful
Speaker 1: in person, and her face and her body, and she's
Speaker 1: just as kind and funny and clever in person. We
Speaker 1: were lucky to have you on our show. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: so much fun. When you, guys reached out. I was
Speaker 1: just so excited. It was really excited. Fun to catch up, right,
Speaker 1: It's fun to go back this far. I do think
Speaker 1: in those in that tenure run, it was a miss
Speaker 1: not to bring Marianne Moore back at some point to
Speaker 1: see what would happen. Like we know that later on
Speaker 1: Chico and Brandon and Kelly were together that Emily Valentine
Speaker 1: came back into the picture. That would have been great.
Speaker 1: And if we were writing and producing it, we would
Speaker 1: have brought you back then. Hell yeah, And it would
Speaker 1: have been weird because there suddenly would have been like
Speaker 1: a three way kissing scene with our characters and you
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't have made sense, but it would have happened.
Speaker 1: And uh, we were listening to our voice, going with
Speaker 1: our gut. What's your Instagram? What's your it's at? Lusly
Speaker 1: ray Vega? Okay, got that? Everybody lips McGee. You're officially
Speaker 1: my spirit animal. We love Leslie Vega, Thank you, Leslie,
Speaker 1: thank you much. Stay well well. I feel like we
Speaker 1: covered everything on this first episode, ladies. That was so
Speaker 1: like you guys, that right? And do you feel like
Speaker 1: you were back in the moment? Like, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I like that. There's one thing that we haven't touched on, though,
Speaker 1: what's that? Sissony fashion? Fashion? That huge part of the pilot.
Speaker 1: How do we stop? How do we forget to talk
Speaker 1: about that? I feel like the fashion was a little
Speaker 1: bit different in the pilot than it was moving forward.
Speaker 1: It was there were a lot of things that were different,
Speaker 1: but that was one major thing. The character. You like
Speaker 1: all your outfits Jen, no disrespect to the brilliant costume designer.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I remember not being excited to wear that
Speaker 1: jacket with the spandex polka dots and the blue type
Speaker 1: that holds every I represent every color of the rainbow
Speaker 1: with that one outfit right there. Everything outfit is iconic.
Speaker 1: It is so epic. But you know what it's it's
Speaker 1: it's leaving. It's like it's a little eighties and the
Speaker 1: eighties were behind us this and you had like the
Speaker 1: I love that they took a chance though, and they
Speaker 1: were like, let's just it was like the kitchen sink.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it all in there, put everything on them.
Speaker 1: So so when we talk about the fashion, she always
Speaker 1: brings up that outfit and I'm like, I think it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I started me for years. I want to see you
Speaker 1: and that outfit again. But I told her, I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier and I was like those
Speaker 1: polka dot shorts. Like honestly, I was like, you know
Speaker 1: boys across the world that we're hitting paws and it
Speaker 1: was a polar right at the time, and taking pictures
Speaker 1: of your camel toe. I'm just saying there was no
Speaker 1: pause back then. You couldn't pause it. Oh, I guess
Speaker 1: if they recorded on VHS, you required on your VHS,
Speaker 1: which we all did, which I did all the time
Speaker 1: watching the same Spader movies. Um just saying they would
Speaker 1: pause it. I'm sure they would zoom in and be like,
Speaker 1: she is the hottest girl alive. And I don't even
Speaker 1: know what to say right now. Now you're giving everyone
Speaker 1: ideas that is a super tight outfit. I'm dead to you, man.
Speaker 1: There's something about your the fashion and then also your bangs.
Speaker 1: I mean, Kelly Taylor really had perfection bangs. I don't
Speaker 1: know how they got them to be so like, oh, roleo, wingy,
Speaker 1: dicky out. I don't know. They really project quite additions
Speaker 1: from my actual head. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: That's some impressive blow drawings right there, you guys. I
Speaker 1: was there in person, and I'm telling you her hair
Speaker 1: was like you wanted to lick it. It was edible.
Speaker 1: It was so perfect in the perfect color blonde, natural
Speaker 1: blonde by the way. And maybe because mine was died,
Speaker 1: I envied that. I was like perfect tear. I like frizzy,
Speaker 1: curly hair that I had to straightened. She had this
Speaker 1: perfect bang. Um, it was everything like people talk about
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston having the Rachel cut, like there was a
Speaker 1: Taylor bang before Jennifer Aniston. There really was. Yeah. I've
Speaker 1: told her for years she to bring the bang back.
Speaker 1: She wants me to get bangs again. I'm like, babe,
Speaker 1: my hair is different now I don't have enough hair
Speaker 1: to have bangs anymore. Like things change, you could do
Speaker 1: subtle ones like you did. Look that I have like
Speaker 1: baby bangs right here, but I want I want fringe.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right why because you, like you know,
Speaker 1: have beautiful hair. I love you with bangs. Thank you?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Well, I think we've had quite the
Speaker 1: quite the episode, ladies. It's time to assign her. It's
Speaker 1: time to make our home homework assignment for yeah the
Speaker 1: following week. And I'm really glad that we got to
Speaker 1: talk to Leslie and Maxwell, And you know what I
Speaker 1: want to just say? Can you say that without picking
Speaker 1: your nose? I scratched, didn't pick up. You know what
