1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi you guys,

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of nine O two one. Oh mg,

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: so oh we're one. I just fell over. Sorry, I

4
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: know I'm so riveting, but so my bestie and co

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: host Jen is away this week. So while the cats away,

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: the Mice show play, Amy and I are here and

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: we're going to jump in being a little surprised for you.

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: We're actually not going to jump into the episode. Are

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: you punking me right now? We're a little bit. Yes.

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: So we decided, because Jenny's not here, we wanted to

11
00:00:52,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: take this opportunity to do a Donna deep dive because

12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, wait, this is like really the time

13
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: to do it. Oh my god. So I wore the

14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: right altfit, Oh my god. First of all, you on point.

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Tori is full sunflower sweatshirt literally could match the hat perfectly,

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: and a crop. Well okay, so this will bring me.

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: What's a Donna deep dive? It's we're digging into Donna

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: to dissect her and to dig into everything Donna. So okay,

19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: some Donna super fans. But but first I have a

20
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: few Donna questions before we bring on everybody, Wait, the

21
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: superfans are coming on. So we did the Brenda versus

22
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Kelly debate. Yes, and so we thought, oh, this is

23
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: like the perfect time. We've never done a deep dive

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: into Donna, like we do little things. And I always

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: talked about like Donna gets sort of forgotten sometimes or

26
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: she's like the story of my life. Donna and I

27
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: are so similar. Okay, So I have some Donna questions

28
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: and some you've answered, but I want to refresh, you know,

29
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: everyone's memories and we have some new people. So it's like,

30
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: first of all, how did Yeah, I know how you

31
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: got the part, but tell everybody how you actually became

32
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Donna and the challenges of convincing your dad to let

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you be Donna. Okay, So I got the part of

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: Donna because I pretended to be someone else and they

35
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: had no idea who I was, and I magically just

36
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: got the role because I'm such a great actress. I

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: am a guide actress. But that aside, I totally got

38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: the role because of my dad, obviously, but I think

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: it's sixteen. I truly believed, I truly believe that I

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: got that part on my own. So here's the thing.

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I had an agent. I had my own agent. I

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: had done Saved by the Bell, Tonic Saved by the

43
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Bell part Nerdy Tory. I had had my first co

44
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: star role on a show on CBS called The Wizard,

45
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and I was feeling real good about myself. I'd started

46
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: a couple of school plays, and then I was a

47
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: school I was. I was at Westlake School for Girls,

48
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: which is now Harvard Westlake. Um. So yeah. So I

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: would always go through my dad's briefcase because I wanted

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: to be a producer, loved what he did. On the weekends,

51
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: he would have me go in and I'd be like, click,

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: click his old school briefcase, take out all his scripts,

53
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: bring them out to him at the pool. He would

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: sit there and go through every script and dog ear

55
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: the pages and um and with not a sharpie, a

56
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: bic pen, not a ballpoint. Yes, he would make notes

57
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and rewrite lines by the end fill. Yes, he would

58
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: change everything. And then I would go back and put

59
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: him in his briefcase. So one day I opened it

60
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: up and it's aid Class of bever Hills and I

61
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh, interesting, and he said, yes, I'm doing

62
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: this show and it's all about teenagers. Um, and they

63
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: go to school in Beverly Hills. So I went through it,

64
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: which I always did see anything from me anythink for me?

65
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Do you think inspired? I don't think I inspired it

66
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: because Darren Starr created it and we didn't know each other.

67
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: But definitely there was some experiences put layered throughout the years.

68
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: So Darren went to your dad and then they continue

69
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: to develop it, I believe. So I don't know that exactly. Okay,

70
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: somehow they do each other, yes, or he my dad

71
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: wanted Fox to want to do something with my dad

72
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: and continue that relationship. Maybe they had found Darren. I'm

73
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: not sure who came first. Um, the Darren North the

74
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Fox so um. So I went through and I didn't

75
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: say anything to my dad. I called my agent, Irish Burton,

76
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: who was like the big like Hollywood kids agents, and

77
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: I said, my dad has the script. I want to

78
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: go in and read. I don't want to tell him.

79
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: So when she was like she had, she was like, oh, honey,

80
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna know it's you. And I was like no,

81
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: but I, oh honey, come on um and I was

82
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, Let's make up a name so

83
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: it won't be Tori. Spelling, and I was like, it'll

84
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: be Oh my god, I blinked down the name I

85
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: always used, was it Tory Richards. Richards is a good name,

86
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: which happened to be the name of Heather Lockler's character

87
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: in Hollywood Wives that my dad had just done and

88
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: I just seen on TV. So again, no one would know.

89
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: UM loved Heather. Heather, she his lucky penny. He would

90
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: call her, and she was very lucky. So I went

91
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: in and read for the part of Kelly Taylor. Um,

92
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: and then my dad came in and said, Um. By

93
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: then he knew I had gone in and auditioned, and

94
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: he said, babe, he said, ironically, sounds like Irish Burton

95
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: right now. But uh, I think you're you're going to

96
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: be on the show. And I think I got the

97
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: part of like friend one or something. Okay, So he said, okay, yes,

98
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I will let you do this. You'll be on. Yes,

99
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: but you were not Donna. I don't believe, but I

100
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Um, and someone else will know the

101
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: answer to this. I don't even know if Donna had

102
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: a name in the very first How did Donna get

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: her name? I don't know how many people call you

104
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: Donna on the street. Um, the three things I turned

105
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: to in life, it's Tori, Donna, and Mom. Yeah constantly. Yeah,

106
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: and even like I'll go to people's houses for a

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: dinner party and it's like someone who's having the chic

108
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: dinner party and they totally slip and will open the

109
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: door and say hi Donna, and I don't say anything.

110
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm like hi, and then they're like, oh my god,

111
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'm like, it's okay. I respond to both.

112
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: It's fine. I get it because I've definitely had my

113
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: moments where I have to like somebody, but it's okay,

114
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: we're interchangeable. But um, yeah, I remember when they did

115
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: assign the name of Donna. I was like, oh man,

116
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: that's the dorkiest name ever. What I did I don't know,

117
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: because it was sort of my fifties ish like yes, yeah, okay,

118
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: so I felt like an old school housewife and I

119
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, like this isn't a cool name.

120
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: But I couldn't say anything. I was just like, you guys,

121
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: just get a script, like the first script, or do

122
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: you get like a page like a biography of like

123
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: who they envisioned Donna to be. No, so you create

124
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: from the script who Donna is. I did, because at

125
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: the time Donna wasn't anybody. She was just you know, friends,

126
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: and there were there were like two others. There was

127
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: me and two others. In the pilot. Oh wow, Okay,

128
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: there's an o G picture of like the cool girl

129
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: gang and it's Jenny like leading it, and then there's

130
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: me and two other girls surrounding her. And we were

131
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: all supposed to go on to be like the cool

132
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: girls at school. And then after the pilot it kind

133
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: of did other two girls whoa So when in the

134
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: trajectory did you sort of realize, Okay, Donna is going

135
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: to be the virgin? Or was that something your dad

136
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: really wanted? Man, I don't know. I it didn't come

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: from me. I don't know where it came from, because

138
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I feel like that wouldn't come from my dad. Maybe

139
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: it was I had to do with the religion and

140
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: were Jewish, so it wasn't that. So someone came up

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: with him. My dad was probably like, great, you know

142
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: she's gonna be a character that's gonna have a boyfriend. Great,

143
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: let's keep for the virgin. When did you learn that

144
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: David and Donna would be for the long haul essentially,

145
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: or did you could they have broken up at any time?

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: You know, throughout and I know there were things there

147
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: were I was never told like this is the ultimate,

148
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: like when the show goes for ten years, would no

149
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: one anticipated like David and Donna will get married in

150
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: the finale? Like so it was never like a planned

151
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: endgame from the beginning. I don't think so maybe I

152
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, that wasn't something. And we were

153
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: so young, we didn't have the mindset to be like,

154
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: where's my character going? Like how do we were just

155
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: like in it going so okay? And then I mean,

156
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: I know I have mine, but what do you feel

157
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: are the most iconic moments for Donna? Like what stands

158
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: out when you think about the ten years who what

159
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: stands out the most about Donna? For me, it was

160
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: all about the comedy, just because, like I said, I

161
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't have a character, and in my mind, um,

162
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: I felt like I couldn't keep up with Jenny and

163
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Shannon and you know, Gab kind of had her own storyline.

164
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: So I never put myself in that category. But it

165
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: was always Brenda, Kelly and Donna. So I was like

166
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: in my mind, I was like, I'm not as pretty

167
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: as them, I'm not as cool as them. Um, they

168
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: can do drama. Oh my god, that's Tori thinking that.

169
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: But Tori creates Donna. So in my mind, I'm like, uh,

170
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard when you're sixteen and you don't

171
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: feel good about yourself. Um. I felt good enough about

172
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: myself to be like, I got to do something to

173
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: set myself apart and take charge here. So obviously somewhere

174
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: deep down I pulled it together. But um yeah, and

175
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: I was like, drama wise, well, they can cry and

176
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: do these emotional scenes. I didn't know if I could

177
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: do that, but I knew I could do comedy. That's

178
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: what always I used to entertain people at school and

179
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I and my friends and family. So I was like, Okay,

180
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start doing like funny stuff. The writers

181
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: were like, oh, okay, she can do that, and then

182
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: that's what led them to be like, okay, let's start

183
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: writing that direction. So if you were to describe Donna

184
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: in five words, yes, who what are those words? Um? Sweet, funny, fashionable, um, loyal,

185
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, I need a fifth um mm hmm help me. No,

186
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I want you to do it, uh, indecisive. Indecisive because

187
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: the thing that I that you didn't say, but that

188
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: I always notice, is that Donna is the peacemaker. Donna

189
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: is the moral compass. Donna is sort of that helping

190
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: guide these guys. And I think, I don't know if

191
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: that was intentional or now I'm seeing it so much

192
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: more now. But it's like I think about all the

193
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: episodes we've watched, the you know, the Christmas episode on

194
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the bus when everyone's fighting, Dylan's dad passes away, and

195
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: you're like, this is the right thing and you need

196
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: to all get your leap together. So I think she

197
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: is much stronger and a leader than you Tori ever

198
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: give her credit for, or myself for how much? So

199
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: how much of Donna is tor and how much of

200
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: Tori is Donna? Um? I feel like Donna is all

201
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: Tori except then, like Tori came into her own, but

202
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Donna stopped because we stopped when I was twenty six

203
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: and I was just starting to come into my own

204
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: and I really didn't hit my stride until my thirties,

205
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: where I was like, look out, I got something to say.

206
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: You know, I can have a voice to you guys. Um,

207
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: and that's when that happened. And I didn't say what

208
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: you think of Donna as the peacemaker because those were

209
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the scenes that were hardest for me to do because

210
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: it put the spotlight on me and I just wanted

211
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: to like be funny, entertained, fin in. I didn't want

212
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: to be in a little bit more. Yeah, So when

213
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I had those lines, I would literally like sweat before

214
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: we had to do a take. I was like terrified

215
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: because it was it was so un me. I would

216
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: have like a little voice and just be like do

217
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: what everyone else wanted to do. So for me to

218
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: stand up and take charge of everybody was not in

219
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse and it was really hard. Do you think

220
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: that of all the characters and the actors, Donna and

221
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: Tory are the most similar, the most like whatever. I

222
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know a fancy word to say, they are the

223
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: most the same. Mm hmm, I don't know. I mean,

224
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: Jason is kind of Brandon like he is. Jason is

225
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: like the opposite of Brandon. He is nice and cool,

226
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: but it's just so Kelly. It's just like Mr Good

227
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: like two shoes, Goody two shoes, and like Jason's very different.

228
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: But I guess in the same likeness that Donna's so sweet,

229
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: but like I have a body side to me like

230
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Jason would be that version are not the same they

231
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: have like the character, they're not the same. No, I

232
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: don't think so Steve and I and are like not

233
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the same. Um, I mean like the goofy side is

234
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: iron scoofy side. So yes, and that wasn't originally instinct

235
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: put that in. He's not like assy, like like he

236
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have that d wordy jerky thing at all. No,

237
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: he's like the sweetest words. Um okay, I know that everybody,

238
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: all the you know, Donna fans want to come in,

239
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: but I can't do a Donna deep dive without at

240
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: least mentioning Donna Martin graduates. Because we're getting there, we're

241
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: getting closer to that when you were, and we'll dig

242
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: more into it when we do the episode. But like,

243
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: did you ever think that that line would live really

244
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: beyond t shirts thirty years later? No way, No, No,

245
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: I had no idea, and it was probably a lot

246
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: of focus when we got to that script on me

247
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: that I was just like, oh, it makes you uncomfortable again,

248
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: so you kind of whole. So I cringe because like I,

249
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: at least I didn't have to be there and hear

250
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: my name out loud, my name, her name. But it's

251
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's as if they were all did

252
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: a walk out and chance at Tory spelling graduates and

253
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: I was in a corner like, oh, my name is

254
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: being said. It's the same thing. Is that what people

255
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: say to you the most? Like? Is that the most

256
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: iconic line? Yes, and every single fan always asked me

257
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: to say it to them, yet Donna never said it. Wow,

258
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,479
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, So the deep dive into Donna continues.

259
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Misunderstood like sweating, No, it's so good. Is there anything

260
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: that's misunderstood about Donna before we go? Like something that

261
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: fans or the audience thinks, but you were like, I

262
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: never intended Donna to be that. I mean, she was

263
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: originally written I think to be dizzy, but I don't

264
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: think she is ditzy. Like she's very sheet at all

265
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and had learning challenges, but she was not. She was smart, smart,

266
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: but I think she always believed she wasn't smart. That

267
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: was her thing. But she's exactly like me. Oh my god,

268
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm realizing even that more today. How close Donna and

269
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: I are. And do you think that that was over time,

270
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: like the writers just sort of put more of you

271
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: into it, or do you think you put so much

272
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: of your own like insecurities into her. I think it

273
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: was a full on combination. And I don't know. Maybe

274
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: my dad, I don't know, maybe when they said described

275
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: tor to us, so we have like maybe he said

276
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: the stuff that I never even thought he notice, but

277
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: maybe he did. I don't know. I don't know that

278
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: they wrote everything that was exactly me, And unless they

279
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: were like literally like watching us on video camera behind

280
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: the scenes, I don't know how they can know all that.

281
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: When you watch it back now, do you like Donna? Yes? Yes,

282
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: When I watched it back now, I think she's adorable.

283
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: I think I would be friends with her. Um yeah, sorry, no, No,

284
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I just like I feel like I was such an

285
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: insecure girl, and I look back now and I'm like,

286
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: oh my god, Like she was pretty and strong and

287
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: like a leader and like took chances and when I

288
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: thought like I was too insecure and didn't fit in,

289
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: like even the outfit she wore, like I chose to

290
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: wear that, Like I made choices that made me a leader.

291
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: And yet I didn't even know it. And it took

292
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: like thirty years of looking at myself back on camera

293
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: to realize I wish I knew that then. Yeah, oh

294
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: my god, Tori, So is Donna just like does she

295
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: just hold such a special place in your heart? I

296
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: mean I can see because you're emotional and crying. It's

297
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: like she means so much to you. And I think

298
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: now you see it so differently. Wow, definitely, I mean

299
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: do you miss her? Um? I don't miss her because

300
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I am her. So I feel like

301
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm like I live with Donna every single day and

302
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm proud of that. And um, you know, it's it's

303
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: like when people do series and movies that are so

304
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: near and dear to fans hearts, and then they don't

305
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: want to be known as that afterwards. That never crossed

306
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: my mind. Like Donna is everything to me. It's like

307
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Tory and Donna and together we're just one. And I'm

308
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: so proud of that character, everything she stood for. Um

309
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: And yeah, I wish I do, wish we could go

310
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: back and like see where they are now. And like

311
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: it's a bummer that b H and I too didn't

312
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: go on because people, like a lot of the fans

313
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: loved it. A lot of the fans were like, we

314
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: wanted a straightforward reboot, and we're like, well, we were

315
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: going to give you the best of both worlds. If

316
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: he got the season two, if the opportunity came, would

317
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: you do it where it's not kind of how you

318
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: guys did b H, but where it's like a real

319
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: like here or where these characters are now? And what

320
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: would you like to see in Donna? Like is she

321
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: career woman? Does she have kids? Like? Is she happy?

322
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: What is she? Well, we left off with her, although

323
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: sometimes we say like it doesn't count. But the nine

324
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: o two and OL that was on c W, like

325
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: we did get to see a peek at where Donna

326
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: was now. But I got some input, like they said

327
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: what do you want her to be? And I said,

328
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: she's still a fashion designer. Um, they live, you know,

329
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: they live in Japan, Like David is a music producer

330
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: and they have they had a kid. We should do

331
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: those episodes like we did Melrose play. Oh my god,

332
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: we really should. But I wasn't happy that we left

333
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: off with Donna, that she and David were separated and

334
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: they were thinking about getting into fource. So then the

335
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: last time we saw Donna, and I'm like, I just

336
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: had the craziest idea. Literally, I just had the craziest

337
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: idea that I need to text. I don't want to

338
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: say it right now because I also think it's like

339
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: so good. I'm gonna text and a way that we

340
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: could find out where they are and what they're doing.

341
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm in. I didn't stay tuned. We

342
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: have like Donna super fans, and I can't wait to

343
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: hear what they want to ask and know and what

344
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: they think. Oh my gosh, wait, who's supposed to do

345
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: the Jenny part. We're gonna go to a break and

356
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: my producer co host Amy Sugarman surprised me today and

357
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: we're doing a Donna deep dive, which I'm not good

358
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: with all the focus on me. But since you're here, Um,

359
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: do you have any questions or anything you want to

360
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: say about Donna? Um? I had a question. I was

361
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: curious about if you or Jenny or anyone else had

362
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: seen that unauthorized and I know to a no story

363
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: that came out a number of years ago, and what

364
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: you thought of the actor portrayals and how accurate the

365
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: storyline was or not accurate. So that was on Lifetime,

366
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: and UM, it was interesting because I was at it

367
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: before I came out. I was at a party and

368
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: a girl came up to me and this is sorry,

369
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: this is before I knew it was being made. A

370
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: girl came up to me at a party and she said,

371
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: I just auditioned to play you in a nine O

372
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: two and oh movie. And I was like, m hmm,

373
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: what But I had to play it cool and I

374
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh, great, great, and I didn't know there

375
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: was one being made. But she was super cute. And bubbly,

376
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, she would be a good Donna.

377
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: Um when I saw it. She didn't go on to

378
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: be the part, but um, yeah, that's how I found

379
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: out about it. And I thought it was well done.

380
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I thought all the actors were adorable. I think it's

381
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: super hard to play somebody else, especially when I guess

382
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: when I'm not close to all those people, to ever

383
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: be like, oh, they nailed it. It's just a tough thing.

384
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: But um, I really really liked the actress that played

385
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: Donna or Tori, Tori and Donna. Um. There were some

386
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: inaccurate stories and I remember thinking, oh, I wish they

387
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: had reached out to me at the time, because I

388
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: would have I remember details like no other and I'm like, oh,

389
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I would have told them how that story actually went. Um.

390
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: So there were some like hints at truths of some stories,

391
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: but then they like, we're wrong. So whoever told the

392
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: stories didn't know them correctly. Okay, interesting, but I thought

393
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: it was well made. Yeah. What was your favorite storyline

394
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: for Donna through all ten seasons? Oh, that's a tough one. Um.

395
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: It was any time I got to do comedy, like

396
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: physical comedy. Um, I'm a big is love Lucy fan

397
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: so UM reminding some of the episodes reminded me of that,

398
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: like Spring Dance with the Big Red Dress, UM, Halloween

399
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: when I was the Mermaid and I couldn't move. UM.

400
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: I also loved like I got to do, like dramatic

401
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: stuff like Donna almost not graduating at prom UM. Obviously

402
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: in Donna Martin graduates UM. And then the season finale

403
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: marrying David, Donna and David's wedding, I love, It's really

404
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: special to me. That's a good episode. And then between UM,

405
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: David and Noah trying to remember who else was your

406
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: love interests on this series? Did you have a a

407
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: favorite one outside of David. I'll tell you David, I will.

408
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: It gets personal because I really loved working with Jamie Walters,

409
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: even though he played Ray Pruett and it was a

410
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: great relationship. And then they turned into a not great

411
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: relationship and he was abusive, so that wasn't good, but

412
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: we were like best friends. We became best friends, we

413
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: started working together, so I loved working with him. UM.

414
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And obviously, yes, David and Brian my number one, and

415
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: that UM. I loved Donna's relationship with Joe and I

416
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: think I loved her relationship with Joe because for me,

417
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: like at the time, when I was young, I always

418
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: picked the bad boy in real life, and so I

419
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: finally got to see through my character what it was

420
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: like to have a nice relationship with someone that was

421
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: really just a good guy and good to her. And

422
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: that's what Joe represented to Donna. UM. So it was

423
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: nice that one of us got to have that, even

424
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: though I never did at the time. Yeah, how is

425
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: UM Your relationship with Katherine Cannon who played your mom? Amazing? UM,

426
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: she was so amazing to work with. I loved working

427
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: with Katherine. She was such a great mom. Even though

428
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: Folice was questionable, Katherine was nothing like that. She was

429
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: super nurturing and supportive UM, and was always there for

430
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: me on a mother level throughout the years. So, UM,

431
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: I loved working with her. I think we have to

432
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: move on to the next call. But your question is

433
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,359

457
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: did that hair myself where I would literally take hair spray,

458
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: take my fingers, like pull out like from my temples

459
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: my hair spray it. Go to the other side. I

460
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: pull out, like, break my fingernails through my temples, through

461
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: my hair spray it, take my beans, put them up,

462
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: spray it and go. Um. I love that one. And

463
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: then I decided to go platinum that one. I actually

464
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: that that was a decision I made on a Friday

465
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: night with a box of hair color in my bathroom

466
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: with my best friend, and uh, it turned totally like

467
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of orange, so then we had to get a

468
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: color corrected. Um. And then I was platinum. And then

469
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: I decided I wanted a bob because they were in

470
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: but I went to someone and they cut my hair. Um.

471
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: So first I had the bob, and then I wanted

472
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: to go like kind of a line, and then I

473
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: wanted to go a little shorter like the bob, and

474
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: someone cut it really short. So I ended up with

475
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: almost like a short hair do and long in the front.

476
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: And that made me miserable because my hair was my

477
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: identity and I had nothing to hide with. So when

478
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: I look back on those episodes, I like cringe. Um.

479
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: And at the time time, the red hair was what

480
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: I thought was a good choice, But looking back thirty

481
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: years later, I'm very sad that Donna married David with

482
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: red hair, because I know not Donna. Like I don't know,

483
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: I just can't handle it. Like we're gonna get to

484
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: it in the show in nine MG where we're like

485
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: talking about Donna and she'll have red hair, and I'm

486
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: just gonna be like, that's not you, girl, Like it's

487
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: not you. So anyway, I know, I actually loved though

488
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: season six your your guys junior year of college when

489
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: you when you had the platinum but it was like

490
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: parted in the middle and it was a little like

491
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: longer in front and then shortened back. I like, love,

492
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 1: I thought you were on point that whole season. Like

493
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: I was just about to say that your outfits, like

494
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: and when you were dating Joe the football player, Like

495
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: I just thought that whole season you were on point.

496
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Like I feel like, besides being the iconic

497
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: initial Donna, that was my favorite look um the down

498
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: the middle, perfect hair length, dark lip. That's why I

499
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: wear it today, Like yeah, you have like flip line

500
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: or something going on like a gloss sometimes. I don't know.

501
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: It was just you looked great and hot. Thank you

502
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: so much. I remember I used to wear um nails.

503
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Like I would be in the in the makeup trailer

504
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: changing my nail color in between scenes. We used to

505
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: have this um polish. It was called hard candy and

506
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: they put like the gel like rings on the polishes

507
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: and they sent it to us and it was all

508
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: different colors. And I remember at the time all the

509
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: other girls were like, who would put colors on their nails?

510
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: That's crazy? And I was like, I'll do it, And

511
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: so then I became obsessed with it. So if I

512
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: was wearing a yellow outfit, I would come in and

513
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: paint my short nails yellow and then I would be purple.

514
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: And I just remember all the girls being like, what

515
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: is she doing? And now I look back and I'm like,

516
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: on point, But you can't not talk about the curls.

517
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: When I thought that was the coolest hair. And I

518
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: also thought all the episodes where you were supposedly in France,

519
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: Donna looked amazing. That was like kind of her o

520
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: G hair, Like three seasons. That is true. That is true,

521
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: And it was shot during the summer and it was

522
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: on the back lot of Universal. I just remember it

523
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: being like over a hundred degrees because it's like in

524
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: Burbank and it was like, is that Burbank now close

525
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: to it? And it was so hot. I think it

526
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: was frizz a lot of it, but it gave me

527
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: very a lot of volumes. So that was good. Those parachutes.

528
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're in the back lot of Universal. A

529
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit of both sorry to disappoint and mostly disappoint

530
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: myself because I saw that script and I'm not gonna lie.

531
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, Shannon, We're going to Paris, and I'm like, nope,

532
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: We're going to Universal Studios. Okay? Um? And oh the

533
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: curls Amy's referring to. So those curls Donna would have,

534
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: like the almost spiral like sausage curls and yeah, and

535
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: then you make your hair like super stick straight at

536
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: the top and put like a bobby pin and then

537
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: those curls. So that was inspired because I love Drew

538
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Barrymore at the time, and I people would always say like, oh,

539
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: you guys kind of look alike. And when she was

540
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: in Um Boys on the Side, Yes, the best movie,

541
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and she had those curls in that.

542
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: And so next season I came to work and I

543
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: was going to wear those curls. I know you had

544
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: those curls in the episode where Slade attacked you in

545
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: the apartment and David came and saved the day. Oh

546
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: my gosh, I forgot about that episode, but you'll get

547
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: to it. I know every episode I've seen this year.

548
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: I've watched the series over and over like dozens of times.

549
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say I think I love you?

550
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I love you more periods of my life. You're awesome.

551
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you. This was great. If you

572
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: is my favorite look on you. And I was wondering

573
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: if you ever do that style again? M hmm. I

574
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: actually really did like that hairstyle. So so that's when

575
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: I had dark hair, and then I made it a

576
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: little funky with some blonde in it. I don't know.

577
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm too old to do something like that.

578
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I know. I just wanted to

579
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: hear you say it. And so that outfit I was

580
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: always like adding things like I would be like, oh

581
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: can we add like little like pearls or and butterflies.

582
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: I loved butterflies back then. I still do, and so

583
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: we would put like butterflies in my hair, and so

584
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: we put butterflies on that dress. So I was always

585
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: d I ying that was your original dress. It was

586
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: wardrobe bought the dress and then I wanted to add

587
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: butterflies to it. That's cool. But like always on the show,

588
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: when I'd wear like little braids or little clips all

589
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: over my hair, that was always me being like, what

590
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: can we add? What can we do? Let's do something

591
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: more different, Let's take a chance, because like fashion, like fashion,

592
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: hair and makeup, that was like one area I could

593
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: really like go for it and take a chance. That's

594
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: what I love about. You know something? Were you born

595
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,200

Speaker 1: How did you discover nine O two one oh? Like?

00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: old you are or did you discover it later on

599
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:18,479
Speaker 1: DVD streaming? How did you become a fan? Uh? Nine

600
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,839

601
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: years and eight it did in the States, And when

602
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:33,920

603
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: at the time I didn't know any That's what I

604
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: was gonna say. Was it in English subtitles? What was

605
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:47,760

Speaker 1: if there were jokes or things that lost in translation

609
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: that we're very American, you know what I mean? Whoa,

610
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: what a? What a fascinating experience. Um. Sorry, You're the

611
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: reason I started earning English, really, yes, Oh my gosh,

612
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: because I wanted to watch your movies and genres with

613
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: your real, real voice and understand what you're saying. Oh

614
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: my gosh, that means so much. Um, how different? Like

615
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: how different the girl that did the voice of Donna?

616
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: How different was it than my voice? It's very different?

617
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: But her voice was good too. Well I like yours better,

618
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's like one of my dreams is to

619
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: meet whoever did the voice of Donna in every language,

620
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: because obviously we were all over the world. So I

621
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: would love to meet the actresses that did it for

622
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, ten seasons. They all had to do it.

623
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: So well. Do you have any the questions? Oh? Yes, Uh,

624
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: during you changed a lot. Uh you changed your hairstyle

625
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: and colored a lot. Was that your choice? That was

626
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: totally my choice? Um, but we definitely had to get

627
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: clearance from the producers to change our hairstyles, color cuts,

628
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: um more So they just wanted to know because they

629
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: always wanted to write it into the script. So if

630
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: you notice, like anytime there's a major hair change on anybody,

631
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: like one of the other characters will say like, oh

632
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: nice haircut, or oh you got your hair color done,

633
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, I just did my hair. They wanted

634
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: to make sure it was like very consistent. But yeah,

635
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: it was totally any hairstyles on the show. We're all

636
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: our choices. You have good choice, thank you. I like

637
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: to mix it up. Well, I'm so glad we could

638
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: do this. This is amazing. Thank you so much, thank

639
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: you so much to thank you. I love you. I

640
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: love you too. Hi Adra, Hi, how are you? I'm great?

642
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: meet you. Where are you calling from West Virginia? Hi?

643
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: How is it in West Virginia? Well, unfortunately, right after

644
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: someone contacted me to do this, my power went out.

645
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: So it's the lighting is not so good in here,

646
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: and it's going to get hot this afternoon. But other

647
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: than that, good I'm sorry. Well you look you look great,

648
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: so well. Thank you. And good news is it's a podcast,

649
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: so don't worry so it's all good. I'm the only

650
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: one seeing you and I think you look fantastic. Thank you.

651
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions for me? I do have

652
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: a few questions. Um. So the first one I have,

653
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: which I feel like I already know the answer to this,

654
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: but is will we ever get to see Donna and

655
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: then Gang again on TV? The answer from me is

656
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: I really really hope. So, um, yeah, I really hope.

657
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: So you know, we did our best with b H

658
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: nine two one to bring everyone back together and to

659
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: do something new and refreshing and and while giving the

660
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: fans what they wanted. Um, because you know season two,

661
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: we were going to do a hybrid of back with

662
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: the Gang in nine two and is their characters and

663
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: behind the scenes as the real life alter egos obviously,

664
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: but um, that didn't go on. So I hope somehow

665
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: someday we get to do something altogether again and kind

666
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: of see where the real Gang kind of left off.

667
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: That would be great. AT would definitely I would definitely

668
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: change in Thank you. Okay. Um, so my next question is, um,

669
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: other than David, who would if you would like to

670
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: see Donna end up with on the show? Um? I

671
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: mean I always say like it depends, because I feel

672
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: like same is in real life. Like we have different

673
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: relationships in our life that are meant to be at

674
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: different points in our life, and when you evolved, maybe

675
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: it's not, you know, the right thing for you. I

676
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: always say I really loved Donna's relationship with Joe, just

677
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: because he was so good to her and so kind

678
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: and just such a great guy. And I think she

679
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: needed that, you know, even though David was her soul mate,

680
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: like he had cheated on her, you know, like she

681
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: needed kind of that self confidence booster. Um. But other

682
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: than ending up with David, I don't know. Maybe. I mean,

683
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I was always meant to

684
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: be David, So I can't picture her with anyone else. Um.

685
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean right before David, she was with Noah, I

686
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: like as well Joe. I think Joe, I don't know.

687
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: I guess their timing was just off. They were young,

688
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: Like maybe maybe I don't know, maybe if it hadn't

689
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: worked out with David, maybe like in her thirties, she

690
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: would have met up with Joe again and been like,

691
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: oh what was I thinking? Now I'm ready for him? Yeah. Um,

692
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: any story lines that you really disliked for Donna disliked, Yes,

693
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: Um well, I literally was best friends with Jamie Walters

694
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: in real life, so when they turned that storyline around.

695
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: As an actress, it was very compelling for me to

696
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: be able to act those moments and um, and go

697
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: through that relationship, that abusive relationship on TV. But UM,

698
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: I was really sad because I knew once that was happening,

699
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: that there was no going back and that you know,

700
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: was true. The audience couldn't accept him even if he

701
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: became good. So, UM, I didn't like that storyline. Um

702
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: any others I didn't like, I don't know. It was

703
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: such a fun ride. I kind of went into it

704
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: like every time I got a new storyline, Like I mean,

705
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: I guess technically, like I didn't like when Donna was

706
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: like on pills and stuff like if I had to

707
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: think about it now, but like at the time, it

708
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: was a challenge for me as an actress to do

709
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: those different storylines. Um, like the storyline where she was

710
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: being stalked and then she was held up in the

711
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: in the radio station. Um. I did like being the

712
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: weather girl though, um. But but things like that, I

713
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: always thought of Donna as like the fun like comedy relief.

714
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: So when she got like dramatic storylines early on, I

715
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: was nervous about doing. But once I got into the

716
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: series and it found my confidence, you know, halfway through,

717
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, bring them on. They were

718
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: really exciting for me. Yeah. I love the um Paris

719
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: scene when you're eating the brains and spit it out

720
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: real quickly. Thank you, I added that, thank you, um.

721
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: And then the last question I have is, um, you

722
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: as Tori, did you ever feel slighted in the early years,

723
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: um that like the bigger stories kind of went to

724
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: Shannon and Jenny or were you okay with that? You know,

725
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: how'd you feel about that? I never felt slighted because

726
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,479
Speaker 1: I never went into nine two thinking that I would

727
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: be a lead Kara her or expecting it. Um. I

728
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: think being the producer's daughter, I always undersell sold myself

729
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: because I wanted to fit in and I didn't want

730
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: anyone to think like I expected, you know, to be

731
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: the lead. I expected to have scenes. So that was

732
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: so like innately a part of me that it was

733
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: always this pleasant surprise when I got any lines, you know, Um,

734
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: But it did make me work harder because I've always

735
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: had this thing. I'm like the and this continues my story,

736
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: my journey in my lifetime. Like I'm definitely the little

737
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: engine that could. Um. I think no is the first

738
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: word towards yes. So um. Whenever I didn't get something,

739
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm just gonna show them that

740
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: I could do it, that you know, I could do

741
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: this and make the most of what I did have,

742
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: and that inevitably lead to bigger and bigger things. And

743
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: that's still my belief in life. I'm a huge fan

744
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: of the show. I started watching like I think I

745
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: was like ten or eleven when the show came on,

746
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: and I've watched it probably six or seven times over

747
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: since then. And I listened to the podcast all ten

748
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,479
Speaker 1: seasons six or seven times, so probably probably so yeah,

749
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: you're amazing. I started watching them again, like I was

750
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: listening to the first few seasons without rewatching them, and

751
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: then one season three head I started I'm following along again.

752
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: So I love that we drew it back in time. Well,

753
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Oh my gosh, Addre, thank you

754
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: so much. Wait, can I ask you what is the

755
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: print that's behind you? Sorry? It's um, Yeah, my stepdaughter

756
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: is an artist. She's only fifteen and she probably made

757
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: that like a few years ago. I love it. Sorry,

758
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: I was just drawn to it the whole time we

759
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: were talking, so I wanted to ask you before you went.

760
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,920
