But it was definitely, UM, something that shook 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:42.880 me a lot. Tory, What about you? I mean you're 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.640 very close to Joe. I mean you had a lot 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.960 of scenes together and stuff, and I'm sure you're very 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.600 I read your thing that you run on Instagram was beautiful. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.440 How are you feeling? I was. I mean, it definitely 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.400 wasn't unexpected. You know, we know he was suffering for years, um, 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:04.000 and and that we knew this was the inevitable. Um, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.480 he was five, Um, but you still didn't want it 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.040 to happen. He wanted to believe that there was more time, 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.880 maybe one last hug you could get in um, something 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.440 like that. So it was still really shocking, and he 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.280 definitely was like a dad. He was like that fun dad. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.000 He was he I said in my Instagram post that 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.960 he reminded me a lot of my dad.

Joey was Joey was a very influential guy 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.160 in my in my life, in my in my young 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.040 life in Hollywood.

Matthew, we have Matthew Lawrence to here. Matthew, 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:27.640 do you have any um, good Joey stories for us. Well, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.840 first of all, I've been lucky enough to see Cory 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:38.200 and Peter lindsay you look beautiful. Jason. It's long since 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:46.240 I've seen you. I'll tell you that. Um. But my, uh, Joey, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.680 what happened to me when I heard that? You know, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.640 we were the old people on the set. We weren't 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.000 that old, but we were the old people and all 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.640 of you, uh youngsters who were going through what you 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.560 were going through. I think all of us that were 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:10.480 older and more veteran felt like a responsibility to all 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:15.240 of you. That's the family part that we're talking about. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:20.600 Here's the thing. Joey was one of the warmest, most 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.800 wonderful people in the world, and we all know that 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.840 with everybody. There wasn't a time I was on the nine. 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.760 There wasn't a time on that where Joey was not 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:40.760 hugging me or you, or laughing or introducing somebody to somebody. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.440 Not one time in the nine needs I was there. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:50.559 Here's the thing that destroys me. And that's why makes 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:57.480 donations the Alzheimer's Foundation knowing this disease. It's not just Joey, 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:03.240 it's anybody that has is this The thought that he 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:09.880 left us not having memory, not being able to remember 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.920 how much we all loved him, is the thing that 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:20.360 breaks my heart the most. And I can't stop thinking 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.200 about that. And I hope at the end he had 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:30.440 some claverity about how much everyone absolutely adored him, that's all. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.800 I don't know what. There's part of me that wants 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.800 to believe it. Yet it does take the memories away, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.800 and it affects different people differently. But there's part of 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.120 me that wants to believe that in his soul he 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:49.120 absolutely remembers hugging each of us and he felt our love. Yeah, 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.199 because I think that's the case for all of us. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.320 It doesn't matter where any of us are or what 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.360 any of us are going through, We're all connected on 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.160 a soul level because we spent so much, really so 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.679 much formative time together that we all always know and 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.200 all you know, and I feel like he did too 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.880 at the end. I mean, we were so blessed to 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.439 have that that zoom that you put together, Pete, for 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.440 all of us to be able to see him and 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.560 talk to him. Was that a year about a year ago? 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.480 A year ago? Yeah, and he was still like, I 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.199 didn't know Joey at all. Just to be clear, you 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.400 guys are the cats, and I'm again grateful to be here. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.839 But he seemed like even in that zoom, he was 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.200 still really hilarious and cracking jokes with all of you 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.760 and talking about things that you all knew and whatnot. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.800 He was still with it and got it right. And 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.800 that was the thing about the disease at that time 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.880 when we did it, he couldn't remember moment to moment 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.760 that was happening there, but he remembered all of us, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.480 and he remembered the old times. When I think of Joey, 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.080 I think it was old. I mean, he was a 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.840 man who was filled with stories, filled with know how 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.800 in history, and he had been a part of it all. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.840 He'd been around for long time. It was a really good, 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.320 generous spirit. I was just thinking, like in terms of 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.880 him being old Hollywood, you know, for me coming on 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.679 to your show at you know, in the last three seasons, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.400 I was such a fan. And I remember, you know, 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.720 meeting him first of all, did he not have the 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.400 warmest smile in the world, Like it just lit up 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.439 an entire room. And I remember the thing about him, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.160 the old Hollywood thing about him was that he he 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:31.960 had a class and a sort of like, um, there's 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.840 a way that sets used to run where you were 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.720 grateful to be there, you know, and you and you 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.800 and you welcomed everyone and you made sure everyone knew 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.400 everyone else, and and there was a warmth and just 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.160 a real gratitude that comes with you know, knowing how 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.280 fortunate you are working in Hollywood. And it wasn't just 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.920 his stories, it was just his overall feeling that um, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.439 you know, you could look to him for that life center. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.920 He was always like the center. He always respected the working. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.920 He was always totally prepared every day he came in. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.040 He knew all his lines, you know, exactly what he 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.040 wanted to do. He was super prepared all the time. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.880 And you know, that's that's another like old school Hollywood 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.560 um professionalism. You know. He was just always super prepared 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.920 and always really ready to work every day, which was 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.640 which was which was nice for all of us youngsters 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.120 to see. Yeah, like what Matthew said, I think it's true, 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.040 like they did sort of have that responsibility of sort 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.800 of showing us the ropes if you will, you know, 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.920 because we were all young and kind of figuring it 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.560 out too. And I think there was a there was 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.000 a lot to that because they, you know, I know, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.680 like the other adults on the cast, Like I learned 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000 so much from just being around them and watching them 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.000 and hoping that that professionalism sort of like you know, 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.360 leaked into my world, and I think it did. I 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.400 think they had a huge impact on us and certainly Joey. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.160 Did you guys remember he would come to set every day. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.360 He was always in This is another old Hollywood thing. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.120 He would come dressed, he would have his briefcase like 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.240 he looked great. Like we would all be like in 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.440 sweats and our hair and mess like you know, we're 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.240 gonna get into glam anyway. But he was always like 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.360 dressed nicely, had his briefcase, walked in like you know. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.760 And that's another thing, like you know, it's like when 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.199 they say people usould dress up to take you know, flights, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.800 It used to be a thing like that was on 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.160 old Hollywood sets. They would always come dress in their 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:30.760 own like best foot forward presentation. Yeah, it's true. I'm 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.679 curious for you guys. You know, as you guys were 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.920 rising in this show, it became a super juggernaut and 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.360 you guys became super famous. Is Joey somebody that helped 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.080 ground you guys with advice or talk you through when 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.520 the world seemed like it was, you know, getting carried 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.080 away in your in your lives. Was he someone that 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.120 could laugh it out with you or talk to you 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.319 or say, hey man, don't worry about that, or sorry, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.959 don't stress that or how did how did he handle 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.800 some of that? He did for me, He gave me 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:03.160 tons of advice, um about how to handle stuff all 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.880 the time. He was very helpful UM for me personally. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.240 I don't know if he I don't know what he 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.000 did for you guys, Tory, Jenny Jay, I agree with you. Yes, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.040 he was always and I feel like because we were young, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.560 we didn't know like you know, later on got to 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.160 know what was happening in Joey's personal life and his struggles, 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.320 but he never brought that to set. He was always 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.800 more concerned about us and wanted to know what's going on, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.080 talk to me about it, and you know, he would 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.120 always place his hands on my shoulders. He would bring 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:34.959 me in. He would look me right in the eye, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.920 big smile as they talk to me and um, and 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.280 he did. He would always, you know, talk about the work, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.040 talk about the personal aspect of it and what would 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.160 happen and what was happening. And for like relationships I 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.000 always had like bad relationships with guys, he would always 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.000 know and he would always be like, you always had 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.880 something going on, so I need have someone come in 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:13.839 because I got I got connections, Like I'll do it myself. Yes, yeah, 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.440 he always just made you feel better, like you could 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:21.240 just de escalate any situation. It felt like just by 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.360 looking at you and smiling and it was just you 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.640 just got wrapped up in that warmth that was like, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:42.840 you know, uncle Joey, I don't know something about it, lindsay, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.040 I'm curious for you, like you came in late later 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.720 on in the show, and that could be intimidating in 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.640 its own self. What was was Joe someone like that 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.000 would talk to you and make you feel like you've 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.440 been there since day one. I think he I think 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.360 because you know, I grew up in this business, so 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.080 I had been on a bunch of sets, but this 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:06.840 was the most intimidating one by far by bar Um 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.720 and there was something about his presence that, like Jay said, 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.120 like there was a professionalism. Um, there was this thing 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.560 where he just like used being an actor that made 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.760 me feel like, ah, I know what I'm doing because 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.880 he's gonna do what I'm here to do and I'm 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.080 not going to be totally freaked out that everyone here 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.000 I've watched since I was a freshman in high school. Uh, 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:32.160 and he made me feel um, extremely welcome. I think 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.680 he called me kid, and I think he called me 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.560 like nicknames that made me feel like I was a 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.200 part of the group. You know, he was very aware 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.880 of I'm sure, having watched all the comings and goings, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.920 how a person like me might have felt. So I 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.240 remember him. I remember thinking he went out of his 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.960 way to make me feel extremely welcome and you know, valued, Yeah, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.200 that sounds about right. I mean definitely. He also, just 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.280 like I was thinking, all you were talking, lindsay that 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.080 he he you could tell he loved what he did, 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.800 like he loved acting. He said, how lucky are we 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.840 to be doing this? That was just lucky are we? 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.720 I know that we're here to talk about and I'm glad, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.800 but I feel not to be able to mention Denise 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.120 and Jessica because I just I have to say, part 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.840 of all of this is, and I had said this 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.160 in a post, it's our family, and it's a lot 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.480 of you know, there are three really important people in 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.440 different ways. For sure, we've lost a lot of family lately. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.560 Jessica Klein wrote so much of the beautiful stuff that 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.120 you all said, why don't we talk about her real briefly? Jenny, Jenny, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.000 I know you're very touched by all of the stuff 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.800 that she wrote. She wrote, I choose me, you know 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.440 what I mean, she wrote some of the most important 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.800 things that came through the series. Yeah, she just had 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:56.200 that feminine sensibility that the female characters on the show 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:00.720 really needed. And she just knew what she was doing 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.400 and she knew how to do it, and there was 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.679 no discussion around it, like she just took care of it, 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.600 you know. And I just felt very um taken care 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.240 of by her and and protected by her love for 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.200 the characters that that had been created, and in her 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:24.520 desire to keep everybody going in the right direction day. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:30.600 How about you? I, you know, I felt I felt 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.480 a great loss when we lost Jessica. She was incredibly 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.639 talented UM writer. I was incredibly likely to work with 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.320 her as a show runner. UM for the years that 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.399 she worked with us as as our show runner or 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:50.360 in her unfortunately deceased ex husband Steve Um, they were 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.639 they were very good for us as as shaw runners. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.800 And she was she was you know, she's also and 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.879 she's also a lovely, lovely she was a lovely, lovely 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.480 woman as well. Um uh uh and uh you know, 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.840 you know, my my heart goes out to you know, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.280 her her surviving daughter UM and UH and her family. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.879 You know, I know that they're they're suffering, UH these days. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.080 You know, her losses felt by a lot of a 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.520 lot of a lot of people. Yeah, definitely. She touched 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.520 so many lives. I mean, I think our place in 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.600 this world is to make a difference. She made a 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.359 difference in so many people's lives. To hear them speak. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.560 It wasn't like, you know, she was a teenager. She 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.200 was somebody was older and passed away, not old, but older, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.560 and yet it was there was the things that about 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.320 her were so I was really moved and I didn't 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.760 even know like she really believed in the idea of 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.879 service and humanity. Walk. That walk was beautiful. Yeah, that 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.639 was interesting to learn about all the things that she 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.359 had done since the show and the impact that she 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.120 had had in her faith that her you know, how 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.399 she I remember who told me the story about when 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.800 she came into town. I don't know. I think it 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:18.240 was for Luke's funeral and for his service anyway, and 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.560 how she was it was on on us. I don't 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:26.800 know what is the right word gap sabbat Sabbath, right, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.159 She didn't drive, so they she stayed at a hotel 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.560 close by enough that she could walk the walk through 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:37.800 you know, nature and take that time to like really 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.080 let it sink in. I thought, I don't know. There 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.560 was just so many cool things that I had to 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:47.480 learned about her after her passing that we're inspirational. She 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.600 was definitely a fire, Like she was a spit fire, 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.400 and I love that about her. Like we talked about 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.200 nowadays like female bosses, like like, oh, you're a boss, babe. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.560 People throw that term loose around. Like back in the day, 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:07.560 she was that. Like she was so kind and so funny, 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.600 but phil was so much fire and just lead the force. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.760 Um and her daughter and I were talking after she passed, 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.760 and she was like, my mom always loved She said 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.360 about me that you were willing to do whatever, and 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.760 she loved writing for that. And so I am so 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.800 grateful to Jessica because she wrote a lot of the 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.960 comedy that I got the chance to do and that 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:30.880 was really important to me. So it meant a lot. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.919 She was amazing. It was look a voice of a 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.160 generation in a in a way, you know what I mean. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.840 For fans like her, her words came through to all 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.119 through all of you in such a beautiful way. What 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.080 about Denise. Someone just reminded me the other day that 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.399 she was at Mrs Teasley was at Donna Martin's bachelorette party. 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.479 That's true, And I can't wait to rewatch that episode 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.159 because I did not remember that. Oh my gosh. I 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.720 literally can't wait for you to watch them that the 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:05.600 ten season I remember, and I think someone said, Wow, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.879 Donn and Martin must have been really hard up for friends. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.719 If you have to fight your your vice principal from 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.119 high school to your bachelorette party. No, that's just a 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:20.320 testament how cool she was character. You know, Felice was there, 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.320 this was the bachelor rett party. Yes, and and Mrs Teasley, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:31.120 who can't wait. It's crazy though when you think about 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:35.399 like the loss and we all started with, you know, 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.280 when Luke passed away so suddenly, and that was so 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:46.760 jarring and weird and just destructive, and and then to 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.040 see now as other people from that experience in that 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:54.000 world that we had pass away and and move on 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.120 like I don't know, there's just like I get goose 0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.600 bumps talking about it, and it makes me a little 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:13.600 emotional because sorry, guys, I love you. Yeah, I don't know. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:18.879 I just I said before, I fucking hate death and 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:26.040 I hate loss, but I do I have to believe that. Um, well, 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:31.600 I'll be together again, and I'm I'm really glad that 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:44.200 I'll be with you guys. Sorry, Okay, it's inevitable. It's 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.560 a part of life. And we have such a history 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.600 and we always say this to each other while the 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.440 fans can watch and be a part of our family. 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.440 And that was you know, we were in everyone's home, 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.760 so you are family, um when you've watched us and 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:05.160 now listen to us. But that experience over that ten 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.280 years was something that we can't ever put in words 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.040 to anybody else outside of our group because it was 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.040 an experience that we all shared so like a bond, 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.760 and Jen and I talked about it that you know, 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:20.920 I don't think it was a coincidence that we were 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.960 all together and we all shared that experience and that journey, 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.760 and that will always hold a special place for all 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.399 of us involved that were shared that you know, somewhere 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.600 in that tenure experience and if you believe in like 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.720 heaven and everything, I don't know what anybody believes in. 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.720 And I don't care. I don't even know what I 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.840 believe in half the time, but I just I know 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.280 the how how if it is the way they say 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:53.600 it is that Luke was beyond elated to have Joey 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.679 joined him at that party that that they're having, you know, 0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:05.200 like it made me feel like he isn't alone, you know. Yeah, well, yes, 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.440 fans look at this and watch this. I mean, they're 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:09.960 all dealing, we're all getting we all grew up together, right, Jenny. 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:12.480 We've said that, like people feel like the fans feel 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:13.960 like they grew up and we all grew up together. 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.560 Like they're all going through your own personal sort of 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:21.320 losing their own gnats and their own people, and it's 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.880 a really challenging time relationships. Whatever they're going through, we're 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:27.479 all at that age. We can't even believe we're at 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:29.520 that age that it's us that we're talking about this. 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.280 It sounds like other people would be having these issues, 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.639 but we're all having them. I mean, for Jenny, do 0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.119 you have any thoughts about that? I mean, how do 0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.920 people how are you getting through some of these losses 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:46.080 and whatnot? To help fans maybe in their own their 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.840 own struggles. If I'm the right person to ask me, 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:55.440 I fall apart. I'm an emotional I'm a very emotionful person. People. 0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:59.600 Some people call me emotional. I call myself emotionful because 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:03.840 it sounds more positive. But yeah, I don't I don't 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.560 know if I'm the right person to ask, you know, 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:10.720 because you're right, like, everybody's going through stuff and it's 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.800 you gotta just kind of learn to deal with it 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.480 as it goes or I don't know. I mean, we'll 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:20.639 always have memories. Like you that's when you take with you, 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.040 like you have visual memories of almost like you can 0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.720 visualize them in your life and you remember hugging someone 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:28.800 or being with someone, and then when they pass away, 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.280 that remains. But we're so lucky that through nine two 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:37.159 oh we literally have, you know, ten seasons of a 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.840 show that is like a beautiful love letter to our 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.240 entire family that the ones we are losing, we're able 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.240 to see them um and and remember it that way, 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.280 and the fans get to do that as well, so 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:55.320 they're never completely gone. Yeah. I hate the endings of things. 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.120 I don't like when good things end. I remember when 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.919 the show ended. I hated that day. I hate I 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:07.000 hate the ending of anything I've recently um experienced lost 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.320 in my life. I lost my dad, and I feel 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:12.280 like a lot of people of our age are losing 0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.760 their parents, and you know, like it just it rocks 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.600 to you. But the thing that I just refused to 0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.360 believe is that when like you have an energy as 0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.800 big as a life, as a life force, but that 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.280 ends the thing that I think keeps me like going 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.760 and keeps me thinking, especially whether it's that our show 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.640 you know, but your show was on for so long 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.359 and ended, or that you know, unfortunately we lose the 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.000 people love, that energy continues, and I think if you 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.960 if you don't think of it as being over, it's 0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:44.359 just transitioned or changed into a different end, you know, 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.560 a different who knows what it is. That sort of 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:52.399 helps a bit. Um. It's it's not there's no easy 0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:54.520 way through it, but I think I think thinking about 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:59.800 that energy carrying on is probably helpful that any joining 0:26:59.880 --> 0:27:04.439 the energy, right, it's just and when you love someone 0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.119 so much, the greed is so much greater, right, So 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.159 it's like you feel grief and you feel the loss, 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.280 it just means that you were lucky enough to have that, 0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:17.199 you know, love experience and We're so lucky because we 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.320 get to watch the show back and be with the 0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:22.360 person as if it were all still together in that 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:26.160 those moments in time are frozen forever, and we're so 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:29.879 lucky to have that. And I don't know we I 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:35.000 think we might have Chuck Rosen joining us. Is that happening? 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:40.280 Just to dump on your point though, Jenny, like the 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.639 fans also always have the show to go back to. 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.560 They always have that thing. The work that you guys 0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:50.120 did is now speaking on such a deeper level because 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.679 there is that place that they can go back and 0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:56.400 watch that episode where you know, not paid off Brandon's 0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:01.280 bookie or whatever it is, and live in those kinds 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.320 of spaces of like, hey, this is this place. This 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.000 is the where where I'm good. I can come here 0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:09.679 and I could watch this and be okay. It's like 0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.320 the work that you guys did in the dedication that 0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.440 you guys put into for all the seasons that you 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:16.639 were there. It's just so appreciative from bands and I 0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:18.600 tried to tell you guys that as much as I can, 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.200 because the work still holds up and it still means 0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:22.919 a lot to this generation and the more of the 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.520 generations see it the Beverly Hills nine O two and 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:30.679 I made a significant difference in people's lives, and um, 0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:32.840 you should all be really proud of the thing that 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:36.239 you did, because it's still here. I'm sure. Then in 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.560 season one, Jay, you were like, I don't think we're 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:43.320 gonna get past episode seven. You know, I didn't think. 0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:44.920 I didn't think we're going to get a back nine 0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:49.640 pick up, tell you the truth. We were all surprised 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.440 and we got through that first season, but it wasn't 0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:54.720 a back nine. Then, how how does it even work? 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.840 We could see any episodes every season? Nine past nine 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:04.240 is only eighteen. No, we got we got, we got 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:05.840 the part, we got the we did the pilot, and 0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.320 then we got the initial twelve boarder twelve okay, and 0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.040 then we had to get that back not back I 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:18.400 remember that so archaic, right, get the back nine. I've 0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:23.320 forgotten about that completely. But that math doesn't add up. Right, 0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.320 We did like twenty three episodes, but we also did 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:31.200 double up, So does that mean there was like six four? 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.560 But we're all over now now we're doing we were doing, 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:38.640 we're doing thirties thirty two episodes a year. In those 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:43.440 double episodes, years, we're doing thirty two. It was crazy. Yeah, 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:48.280 And Joey was on for all ten years. He's one 0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:49.719 of the few of us that was on for all 0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.440 ten years. And he was in like two hundred and 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.360 I don't even know how many episodes. That was two 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.520 hundred something. There's a lot, Jay, Do you remember that 0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.680 episode where he paid your book? Remember he paid it 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:05.320 when he paid up Billy Vera. Yes, we just watched 0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:14.320 the least intimidating book he ever my bookie with the 0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:21.200 softest hands I've ever touched that voice, that voice, remember, 0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:26.000 I don't know which season it was. But finally Joey 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.280 was added as a series regular, even though he was 0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.240 always a series regular to us, he wasn't contractually a 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.920 series regular. And then he got to be in the 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:37.600 opening credits. He had his own spin in. I remember 0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:40.800 that day filming that. He was so excited to be 0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.720 included in that. What season was that was? That was 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:48.840 that season? Eight? Pet know, I don't I think it's 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:50.880 I think it's sooner than that. I think he became 0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:54.720 a regular sooner than that, you guys, seven, maybe seven, eight, nine, ten, 0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:57.520 maybe eight nine times something like that. He was spinning 0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:02.520 by the time I got there, it was like season 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:06.360 seven maybe, Uh, gab Gabriel. I just watched an episode 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.960 where you had to go do a review of the 0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.720 peach Pit, and you're like a yelper and you're giving 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:13.720 because it's a college thing, so you're like giving a 0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.400 really harsh review. But you and Joey do some some 0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:19.760 really great comedy. Was he fun to do comedy with? Garbriel? 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:23.160 It's fun to work with. To be with Joey was 0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:27.880 be with Joy what that was really he loved with 0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:32.560 made it fun and easier. You know, sometimes work with Buddy, 0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:47.520 you just flow. I know we're being joined by Chuck now. 0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:49.360 I thought it was earlier, but now I know he's 0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:54.400 here and Larry. We have Chuck Rosen and Larry Mullen. Hi, 0:31:54.920 --> 0:32:00.200 look at you. Look at you, guys. I don't know you, 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:05.120 but hello, nice to meet you. I can answer that 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.840 because he started being a suit when you about Joey 0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:13.960 was Hi my last year and he and Tori, he 0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.760 was onto it. After about season three. He wanted to know, 0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.960 why aren't I in the credit? I only get there, 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:25.480 you know. But eventually he convinced his friends down the 0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:29.040 hall and he in the series regular and like all 0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.520 you guys, and he was great that he made it 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.160 and that's where he belonged. And and really hard, right, 0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.640 I mean you the actors, you maybe can learn it too. 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.640 He was a character actor and for a character actor 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:42.960 to get on and I was looking at his resume 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:47.160 and he did every show of the early seventies, mid 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.760 seventies Lakes, you know, just a lot of shows. But 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.960 to have ten years of one character to grow and 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.000 be with this was this was part of his of 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.800 his lifetime. And and and that with the beauty of 0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.480 it is that he knew it. He was happy, you know, 0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:05.240 as you're all saying, Chuck, do you remember meeting him 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.080 in the audition? Do you remember seeing him for the 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:11.840 first time audition. I've been thinking about the audition because 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.959 it was the first audition that we had. There's an 0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:19.960 episode two, Every Dream Has Its Price time they went 0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:26.720 about shoplifting and um and and we we did it 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:30.640 on Wilshire Boulevard and Tony Shepherd. It was me and 0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.920 Tony Shepherd because Tony was representing your dad, Tori, and 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.200 it was it had the chance to be a recurring role. 0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:40.280 We didn't know if it would because you know, but 0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:43.560 it had the chance to come back for more. And 0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.920 there were two actors. It's always Tony Shepherd me and 0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:51.880 to be young. Uh. There was a woman director who 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:56.600 I actually went after, Melanie Mayron to do episodes. And 0:33:56.680 --> 0:34:00.440 she had a girlfriend and the girlfriend um was the 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.800 was the director of science having a senior moment here. 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:06.720 But she's the one my favorite thing that she did. 0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.360 She's the one that got you to the aerial shot 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.920 with you on the bed, Jenny, so when you spun over, 0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.040 you know, and that was always in the credits and things. 0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.839 Always I was like that one the directing move she made. 0:34:18.080 --> 0:34:21.560 But like the two actors, it was Joey, but the 0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:25.440 other actors Frank Bortion, do you any of you guys 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:31.000 know Frank the joker? Oh my gosh, my portion And 0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:36.480 Frank Ortion was a more you know, guest star worthy. 0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:39.960 He was a big name coming in. And the other woman, 0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:44.640 the woman director, was just referring to him and and 0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:48.399 and I just looked at it this way, who would 0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.959 I'd rather spend an afternoon with this friend of Duke 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:57.320 Vincent's star. And you know, it was no contest, you know, Joey, 0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:01.520 It wasn't very many lines, But that sonality was what 0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:04.120 I It wasn't called that's what we needed, That's what 0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.360 you wanted. You wanted a place. If I was going 0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:09.280 to try to create a place where all you guys 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.359 would hang out, then it would have to be a 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:16.680 welcoming one. You didn't want somebody who had sardonic insight 0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:20.560 really run to the table. Larry, you got to work 0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:22.480 with him in the later seasons. You know, you came 0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:25.080 in season four. What what? What are some of your 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:28.080 thoughts about about working with joe I was thinking of it. 0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.239 I have two major thoughts. One was the fact that 0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:35.160 writers loved Joey and we loved writing for the character 0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.400 of Nat. And and you know, by the fifth season, 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:40.840 when Cindy and Jim left, there was a space to 0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:44.160 kind of develop it more. In season six, we went 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.560 for it, and we we sat there in room said 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.640 we're gonna give Joey a romantic storyline and and it's 0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:53.160 gonna be the one that got away. And and we 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.600 mined deep into the real Joey's life, like Chuck was 0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.319 saying into his credits, and we found a movie he 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.920 was in called On Holy Rollers. It was a Roger 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:05.400 Corman film, a B film, and we built this whole 0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:08.160 storyline that this was gonna track the one girl that 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.440 he really loved who got away, and Roger Corman him 0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:13.839 and they actually they screened the movie of the Peach 0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:16.399 Bay after Darks a special night to kind of honor 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:19.160 Joy because the gang did not know he was an actor. 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.239 And his whole story was, of course, he had that 0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:24.359 repressive father which we see in the sixties episode, who 0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.960 basically made him give up his acting dream. But we 0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.239 had this this this movie, we're gonna show it and 0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:32.200 joe and and his girlfriend from back when he's gonna 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:35.880 show up. And we did, and Joey has kissing like 0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:39.399 everybody else, and everybody else gets involved in this relationship 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:42.160 and they wind up getting married and having a baby, 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:43.920 and it goes to the end of the season. And 0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.560 and the woman he married, who plays Joanie as a 0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.360 was a friend of mine, Julie Parrish. She was a 0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:50.279 wonderful gal. I don't know if you guys got to 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.359 meet her. She was in Elvis movie. She was an 0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:55.480 Elvis girl, and she was a friend of mine just 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:57.719 from a friend of a friend, because she had done 0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.279 Happy Days on the Vernon Shirley also really at it. 0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:02.719 But Joey could not have been happier. He met the 0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:05.640 challenge of having his own romantic storyline, and it was 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.719 just it was we felt so good about it. The 0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.200 other thing I wanted to say was, you know we 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:14.520 we we exploited Joey's character in a sense in season 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:16.520 four and Schruff knows this because we had this great 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.560 storyline for Dylan where he's gonna get scammed out of 0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.920 his money. And in the Christmas episode where it's all 0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:26.239 starting to go down and Kelly Taylor played by Jenny 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.239 does not trust these people at all. It's nath who 0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.759 says to Dylan, come on, Dylan, it's Christmas. You have 0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.680 to trust people. And Dylan does and he gets scammed 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.120 out of all this. He gets the worst advice I 0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.319 remember telling the last time I saw Joe was that 0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:42.880 zoo we had and I told the story and he 0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:45.600 had a big laugh at him, because, yeah, he had 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:51.560 the worst for Jenny and Tory.

Yeah, 0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.920 it's it's good stuff. You're gonna love it. Yeah, Hey, Larry, 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:03.000 did did we screen that Roger Corman movie? Was that 0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:05.520 the episode where we did the Roger Corman Film Festival? 0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.919 Exactly exactly? It was? It was fade in, Fade Out 0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:13.600 is the episode. But yeah, we did that one, that's right. 0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:17.640 I remember that, and Roger came within a You got 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:22.479 Roger Corman to do a cameo? Yes, fantastic, we did 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.200 because because I because I did a Roger Corman movie. 0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:27.359 And I sent him an email and I was like, hey, Roger, 0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:29.680 I don't even remember, but I made a movie for 0:38:29.719 --> 0:38:32.239 you back in the eighties. I'm directing an episode. And 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:34.400 he was like, yeah, sure, I'll come and do it. 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:39.920 That's a still around God bless him. Yeah, it was 0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:43.040 really cool. Do you guys remember when we saw him 0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:45.960 at them wasn't really the peach Pit, but it was 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.480 just a few years ago when they did that event 0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:54.200 um for bhop up and he came hand to the 0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:58.840 pop up and I'll never forget because Joey not Roger Corman, correct, 0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:06.640 but he you know, he he was already starting to 0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:09.879 suffer from Alzheimer's at that point, and it was we 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:12.359 weren't sure what we were going to get and how 0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.000 it was gonna, you know, affect him and how it 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.400 was going to go. But I just remember he was 0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:21.040 exactly the same as he always was, patting, getting a 0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.960 little booty pat in there, give a little extra squeeze, 0:39:25.160 --> 0:39:27.359 you know, and and and just feeling that love from 0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:30.719 Joey like it had never changed. Jen and I had 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:33.200 the opportunity to work with him again when we did 0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.239 Mystery Girls in two thousand and fourteen, and that was 0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.040 such an honor. And that was the first time that 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:41.759 he really divulged to us, you know, his personal struggles 0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:44.440 and what was going on, and he said, I'm so 0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:46.440 nervous and I'm not gonna be able to do it. 0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:50.120 He was Joey. He showed up like he was awesome 0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:54.160 on tape day in front of a live audience. He 0:39:54.280 --> 0:40:09.640 just flashed that smile and everybody was like, oh my crazy, 0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:13.000 oh Tory. I mean, there's an episode in the last episode, 0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:16.080 there's a great scene where you asked him to walk 0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:19.560 you down the aisle the donna does sorry I connect 0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:23.759 you to all, don't worry, But I think what's really 0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:25.719 interesting is the way you asked me. I feel like 0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:28.000 fans or when I watch back that moment. It's such 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:30.840 a powerful moment because we want that, we want to 0:40:30.880 --> 0:40:34.360 see Nat incorporated into the end of the series in 0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:36.480 a way, and it's a really touching moment. Do you 0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:39.360 remember doing that and what was that like to shoot 0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:41.160 and do, especially at that time when the show is 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:45.000 coming to end, right, Um, So, the writers had talked 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.719 to me about it, and you know, since my dad 0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.680 on the show had passed away, they said, who would 0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:52.719 walk Donna down the aisle? There was an idea of 0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:56.400 police walking her my mom down the aisle, and I 0:40:56.400 --> 0:41:00.319 immediately said, are you open to Joey walk you meet 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:04.040 down the aisle? I feel like that's the heartbreaking moment, 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.160 like she lost her dad, but this is her second 0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.239 dad really because throughout the years, that's what he was 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:11.800 liked everyone, that's what he became. And you know, personally, 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:14.400 Joey and I were so close. I was like, this 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.239 is a real relationship on an off camera like this 0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.160 would be an honor for him to actually walk me 0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:23.400 down the aisle. Um And they were excited about the 0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:26.359 idea and wrote that in so and I think we 0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:28.080 were actually because I think a lot of people were like, 0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:29.400 that's kind of weird that it was filmed at the 0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:31.920 peach Pit after dark. I think for some reason we 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.759 ran out of time were so it was supposed to 0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:37.239 take place in the peach Pit, but um, they were 0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:38.640 on the set for peach after dark. We had to 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:41.759 shuffle things around. So that's where Donna asked him. He 0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:44.239 came over and Donna asked him to walk her down 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:47.360 the aisle there. Oh, I know, I know why. I 0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.920 know why you weren't in the peach Pit because they 0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.920 because they had struck the set. It was already gone. 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:59.919 And I'll tell you because this is what I was doing. 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:03.399 And yeah, I was doing a pilot for Fox at 0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:06.680 the time, a kind of a low budget. Um, you 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.920 were really low bunk, even a lower budget than the 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:14.680 first season of nine. It was and and and so 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.800 I needed a set. I needed a stage, and Paul 0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.440 gave it to me because you were already struck it 0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:24.640 and were filming when I don't know if you guys 0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:29.480 remember this Rosen World crashed the wedding, Skaron and I 0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.000 and all three of my kids who really wanted to 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:34.759 be there. We're there. We've got the pictures to prove it. 0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:38.760 And when I left the Hilton, he was at the Hilton, 0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:43.000 right the Beverly Hilton. Yeah, I drove to the back 0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:46.320 to uh our our Calvert Street and ready for the 0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:49.120 night shoot that we were doing the stage. That's how 0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:51.359 I know. But it was the peach Pit after Park 0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:56.359 where we filmed, not the original peach Pit. You just 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.399 blew my mind. I did not know the peach Pits 0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.480 set had been struck already because that was what we 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.080 had two more episodes to go or was it episode 0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:08.120 before the finale? I did a hundred three episodes the 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:15.439 Spelling Company, I know, they don't they just okay, wipe 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.160 that off the books trail. Come on. I think it's 0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:20.000 cool that it's at the after dark and it's not 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.120 at the Peach but I know, maybe it makes more sense. 0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:25.240 But I like the intimate and that's not wearing his outfit. 0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:27.719 He's in he's in the street clothes and he's just 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:31.040 having a conversation. You know, it's not you're not going 0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.240 to the diner to get to ask him, you know, lindsay, 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.000 do you have any kind of memories of, you know, 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:40.280 any scene work that you did with him or anything 0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:45.200 like that. I think you know, Ian and I did 0:43:45.200 --> 0:43:48.560 a lot of scenes in the peach pit when we 0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:52.120 were coming up with our schemes and plans for the 0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:59.719 tabloid that we wrote for the Beat. I don't really 0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:02.760 remember remember the specifics of the scenes, but I remember loving, 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.400 you know, the moments. For me as an actor, sometimes 0:44:05.400 --> 0:44:08.680 that I remember the most are the in between the 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:11.000 scenes and you get to go and sit in your 0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:13.040 chair with your name on it, and you get to 0:44:13.120 --> 0:44:15.799 chat with the other actors, and I have I have 0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.120 vivid memories of sitting with him on the stage waiting 0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.440 for a you know, a lightning change or you know, 0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:24.000 to hit our marks. And you know, like I said before, 0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:27.080 I just I really liked being in his presence because 0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:29.840 he was a pro, and he was funny, and he 0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:33.080 always had stories, and I just I felt, you know, 0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:36.120 happy to waste some time with him on those on 0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:40.759 those stages and dark sets. You know, we're also joined 0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:46.280 by Michael Lang. Michael's so excited to see you. Any 0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:50.839 episodes of the show did you direct, Michael No, I 0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:57.400 think twelve. I was believing obviously one of our favorites 0:44:57.440 --> 0:45:00.680 because we loved you so much. Oh my god, thank you. 0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:04.480 I always Michael. Whenever there's something that's very complicated. It 0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:07.279 seems like they're just like the multiple days, there's gonna 0:45:07.280 --> 0:45:09.239 be a lot of action. They're just going Michaelang, He'll 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:15.560 figure it out. Yeah, I was. You guys were my 0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:18.319 favorite show. Whenever I do panels or whatever and they 0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:21.000 say what was your favorite show to work on? And 0:45:21.040 --> 0:45:23.480 I always I always say nine o two when I 0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:26.920 was was the It was the greatest show because it 0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:30.239 knew what it was and it knew what it was 0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:34.480 supposed to do, and it knew that I knew what 0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:35.920 it was and knew what it was supposed to do, 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:40.279 and it was about things that were important to human beings. So, 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.480 and you guys were also great. I mean people would say, oh, 0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:48.200 were there any stories? I would say, the only good ones. 0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:53.640 I mean, you guys were professional and always prepared and fantastic, 0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:56.239 and it was a great show to work I loved it. 0:45:56.360 --> 0:46:00.200 Do you remember, like what episode uh that stan out 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:04.359 to you that you directed with Joey? I don't know. 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.799 I mean not really because his parts were always relatively small. 0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:09.919 I mean when I remember, the most was the one 0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:14.919 with the where which we did which which had the 0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:18.319 the fair whatever with all the rides and whatever. Yes, 0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:23.239 Mr Wash Coast of Washington. Yes, exactly, Michael. I was 0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:29.080 just out. I was just out addressing the California Coastal Commission. 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:33.280 And they meet up in the top of Malibu Canyon 0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:36.040 where where they have a meeting in and all that, 0:46:36.239 --> 0:46:40.560 And just down the road was that Suker College. Yeah, 0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:45.080 that's crazy. But I actually was getting sort of thinking 0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:49.879 about today. I thought of a story about Joey that 0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:54.640 completely you know, captures him in my mind. And here 0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:56.600 it is. And first of all, he was one of 0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:59.000 the very few people they called me Mike, and it 0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:04.200 was fine with me. But uh so, I had just 0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:06.960 gotten a new car, which I was very excited about, 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:10.160 and it had gotten a little bit dirty, and I was, 0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:13.799 you know, riding to the set. It was whatever, you know, 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:17.719 I think it was a slightly later called, and I 0:47:17.800 --> 0:47:19.840 decided to get the car washed. So I left a 0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:22.319 little earlier. As a director, I would always get to 0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:27.040 the set a half hour before crew call always. Um 0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:29.479 So I figured, okay, I have enough time. The car 0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:34.840 wash was interminably slow, I mean ridiculous, and I'm pouring sweat. 0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:41.200 I mean, I'm just so exasperated. Come on, guys. Um So, finally, 0:47:41.680 --> 0:47:44.959 you know, they get the car done, and I had 0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:49.040 like ten minutes to get there before crew call, and 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:53.279 it was probably a nine minute drive. So I go, 0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:59.000 I'm probably driving like eighty miles an hour down Ventura Boulevard. Um, 0:47:59.040 --> 0:48:02.200 not very good. So I finally I screech up and 0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:04.480 I just parked right we were. The first scene we 0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:06.520 were shooting was in the peach bit, so I screech 0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:10.520 up and park right in front of this basically in 0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:16.080 the set. So you know, I'm the director who can't market. Said, 0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:19.759 Joey is out there right, and he know, you know, 0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:22.600 we've talked this. You know, it was probably the fifth 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.880 or sixth episode, so we had talked and I'm always 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:27.920 sort of proud that I always get there early, and 0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:29.839 so I'm sure I mentioned that. So he's out there 0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:39.160 and he's going like this right. So not only did 0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:41.840 it not bother me that he did it, which normally, 0:48:42.000 --> 0:48:44.360 like an a d ever did that to me, I 0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:48.200 would throw them off the set, but like, it's Joey, 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:50.480 So how can you get mad at this guy? And 0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:53.799 he's right? So I jumped out of the car. He 0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:58.200 had already gotten all the actors assembled right and and 0:48:58.360 --> 0:49:01.120 made sure, you know, I think I might have called 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:03.560 the a D to say I might. It's gonna be 0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:07.720 pretty close anyway, And he was just so sweet about 0:49:07.760 --> 0:49:09.640 it and just you know, he did that sort of 0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:14.560 fake thing. It was just such a memorable moment of 0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:18.319 him and how he could just sort of he could 0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:21.200 just be He was such a you know, like an 0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:25.240 authentic person. He was a great guy, really great guy. 0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:28.439 And I hadn't had that memory until you know this. 0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:33.799 It was pretty cool. We we've talked a lot of 0:49:34.320 --> 0:49:38.680 business and onset about Joey. We haven't talked um offset 0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:42.319 with Joey. But I was lucky enough to be able 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:45.360 to go to quite a few Playboy Mansion parties with 0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:52.960 Joey talk yes, and he was he was like the 0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:55.440 life of the party, Like he was the king there, 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:58.279 Like he was friends with half. He was old Hollywood, right, 0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.720 so you know he was there and he was always 0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:05.680 so respected there. So I just have those memories and 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.160 being able to go and be like, oh my gosh, 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.759 like not like Donna drunk at prom, Donna drunk in 0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:16.440 the Playboy Mansion with nat omg. You know, we just 0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:20.960 always had the best times. And yeah, that was always 0:50:20.960 --> 0:50:23.240 a standout and I know, jenn and I have mentioned 0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:25.440 on the show, like we always look forward to like 0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:28.439 late nights. We'd be filming with the group Friday night, 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:32.759 and you know sometimes we put in plastic cubs and like, sorry, Chuck, 0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:35.320 Larry and and Michael, you shouldn't be listening to this, 0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:40.680 but you know, we'd have some alcoholic beverage. It was 0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:43.560 like nighttime. We'd have one big group scene. We each 0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:47.400 had like one line and then we're like we're okay, um. 0:50:47.560 --> 0:50:51.400 But Joey and that infamous briefcase that he had would 0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:55.160 pop it open. Always had like little mini bottles. He'd 0:50:55.160 --> 0:50:58.520 have like a makeshift bar in there. This is after 0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:02.640 we were all legal. But like, yeah, we could go 0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:04.799 and be like, O great, yeah we'll have some. So 0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:07.880 like Joey's room was like the fun room to go into. 0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:10.439 You know, he just should have come it. You guys 0:51:10.440 --> 0:51:12.400 were on the set doing that. You could have come 0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:18.440 into Paul's office about then it would be no m 0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.479 Joey always had that too available, But you know I didn't. 0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:25.600 I didn't want to call everyone out. Okay, wait, so 0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:34.360 you're saying we could have merged parties between us. Jenny, 0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:35.839 did you get to go to any of those kind 0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:40.480 of cool parties with with with Joe I didn't I 0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:43.480 think I was having a baby or something. You don't 0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.200 really want to hang out at the Playboy Mansion when 0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:49.680 you're like eight months pregnant, fair enough? Yeah, um, you 0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:51.640 did get to have a couple of experiences, though it's 0:51:51.640 --> 0:51:54.239 some rap parties with him. Like we we definitely like 0:51:54.360 --> 0:51:57.919 had fun with him at rat parties. Oh yeah, he's 0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:00.360 the guy we wanted to hang out with him. Like, Yeah, 0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:02.960 it wasn't weird at all that he was a lot 0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:05.840 older than us. No, not at all. He was so fun. 0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:07.600 That's why I felt it was important to bring up 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:10.200 that part of it too. While he was like someone 0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:12.400 we definitely looked up to on said, he was so 0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:15.760 professional and so kind and helped us with our personal problems, 0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:17.799 Like he also was like that fun guy to go 0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:23.240 out with and it was like no age difference. Yeah, wait, Lynce, 0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:25.239 did we ever go out with Joey? I was just 0:52:25.280 --> 0:52:26.880 trying to think. I was like, was he with us 0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:28.799 that night at the sushi restaurant when I fell off 0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:30.799 the table and pulled the pot of plant out of 0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:36.960 the thing. Don't believe he was to hear that story. 0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:38.719 I know, I don't care if he was there or not. 0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:44.279 And also, by the way, I didn't know you guys 0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:47.479 had brief cases of bottles of things on the set. 0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:49.480 You didn't let me in on that until I think 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.680 you're back. Well, maybe around the time of the Donna's 0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:58.040 bachelorette party and Mrs Teasley was there and just to 0:52:58.080 --> 0:53:00.719 come like full circle and you and we had real, 0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:06.359 like lives jello shots. We had jello shots. I know 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:10.000 it was not a little this I know imber party, 0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:12.800 but I don't have no idea I was being honored. 0:53:12.920 --> 0:53:16.919 I don't remember, okay, good and I remember everything trying 0:53:16.920 --> 0:53:21.120 to save my line like it was probably who made 0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:28.480 jello shots? You did? I did? I made him. I 0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:31.920 want this so much. Someone made jello shots, but it 0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:35.200 wasn't probably it sounds like something you would do it. Yeah, 0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:38.680 of course. I just want to give Larry and Chuck 0:53:38.719 --> 0:53:41.200 a chance to talk about Denise and Jessica too, because 0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:43.840 we had talked about them earlier, and of course you 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:47.720 both worked obviously with Jessica. You worked side by side 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:49.840 with her through the years. Chuck, do you want to 0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:53.520 talk about Jessica Klein? Yeah, you know, we had gets Gabby, 0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:57.360 he's not not here. We did remember the other girls. 0:53:57.400 --> 0:53:58.960 I don't know if you I think you both talked 0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.640 to him. You know, the girls did the Blaze podcast 0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:06.600 and were they they staged a show when we really 0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:10.560 did the Donna Martin Graduates episode at the Fine Arts 0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:13.319 Theater in front of like eight hundred people, and I 0:54:13.400 --> 0:54:18.319 played that insufferable superintendent. And Denise Dallas was in it. 0:54:18.480 --> 0:54:22.040 She played Mrs Teasley and and you know, and and 0:54:22.160 --> 0:54:26.040 uh and in any way, um, that's it was so 0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:28.640 much fun because, you know, as Pete knows a little bit, 0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:31.080 you guys got to hang out on the set with 0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.560 Larry and I. We were in the writer's room or 0:54:33.760 --> 0:54:37.640 I'm talking production with our director friends like Mike Goland 0:54:38.120 --> 0:54:40.600 and Dan Addis and whoever else. And so, I you know, 0:54:40.760 --> 0:54:45.520 wasn't able, you know, to to actually even know the 0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:48.120 kind of regular and and we're with us until we 0:54:48.160 --> 0:54:51.880 did this podcast here and having that great experience getting 0:54:51.920 --> 0:54:54.120 to work with her as an actor, for God's sakes, 0:54:54.200 --> 0:54:58.839 you know, so and uh and Jessica, I mean, I 0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:01.560 don't think that. I mean, and we've talked about this 0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:04.839 in our podcast, you know, I don't know if you 0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:08.040 guys felt this, if you've talked about it ever, you know, 0:55:08.200 --> 0:55:11.319 Darren announces he's doing another series, and why don't you 0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:13.640 just yank out my heart? You know, I mean, he 0:55:13.760 --> 0:55:16.960 was a huge part of the production and what are 0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:19.200 we gonna do? How what do we? And and Steve 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:24.040 and Jessica and I and Karen really resolved to make 0:55:24.080 --> 0:55:27.440 season three the best one we could possibly do without him. 0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:30.960 And so you know that was Jessica, That was that 0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:33.400 was That was a full major year, you guys know 0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:38.440 it from going to Paris to the Triangle car blowing 0:55:38.520 --> 0:55:41.640 up to graduation. What a thing. And you know, so 0:55:42.239 --> 0:55:45.520 that Jessica and Steve were there every minute of that 0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:50.200 and Mr Hot and was really comforted to see you 0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:54.480 there that day, Jenny. I gotta say though, real quick, 0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:58.520 sorry that to date, we hear this all the time. 0:55:58.719 --> 0:56:04.200 Season three is by far the fan fave season. Pete, 0:56:04.719 --> 0:56:09.440 are we wrong? Everybody? Does? I actually like season four more? 0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:10.920 But that's just me. I'm sorry. I don't need to 0:56:10.920 --> 0:56:13.160 put my way my thoughts in. But season three and 0:56:13.320 --> 0:56:17.239 three and four, that's what everyone says. Yeah, season four 0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:20.000 had Mullen. You know, it's pretty hard to stop that. 0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:23.200 Larry Mullen, Right, yes, Larry, do you want to weigh 0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:26.920 in on Jessica? You know, you know, I came in 0:56:26.920 --> 0:56:29.400 in season four, so Jessica and Steve was at the 0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:32.640 height of their powers, and uh, you know, Jessica was really, 0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.880 really bright, and you know, she understood how to frame 0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:38.680 his story and she was basically we've talked about the poor, 0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:41.279 but she was the go to person to pitch the 0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:44.520 story to, you know, to Mr Spelling, you know, because 0:56:44.560 --> 0:56:46.840 that's a you know, a terrifying aspect. We got it. 0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:48.920 Now we've done all this work, We've gotta not present 0:56:49.000 --> 0:56:51.319 the stories to Mr Spelling. Of course he wants to 0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.319 know what Donna is doing first, but she knew that, 0:56:53.400 --> 0:56:55.839 she knew to do that. But but now it's all 0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:58.200 our all our our our goodies are in her, you know, 0:56:58.320 --> 0:57:01.120 in her in her bag basic and she would always 0:57:01.120 --> 0:57:02.839 do it. She would be brilliant at it, and that 0:57:02.840 --> 0:57:05.000 that was her strong thing. The other thing, you know, 0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:09.359 se her were there. She was the typest. Yeah. Also 0:57:09.440 --> 0:57:14.000 the network too, and the network you weren't friendly house. Yeah, 0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:16.680 they were ready to oh, that one's not gonna work. 0:57:16.760 --> 0:57:19.400 So you know, we had and she was great at that, 0:57:19.600 --> 0:57:22.160 you know, she had a great grasp and it's just 0:57:22.200 --> 0:57:24.160 it's it's tragic because she was young, you know. I 0:57:24.200 --> 0:57:27.520 mean it's kind of upsetting, you know, but we loved it. 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:28.960 We got a chance to you know, we had to 0:57:29.040 --> 0:57:31.360 chance to kind of reunite with her and all the 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:33.200 other people with her too over the last day a 0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:48.840 couple of years. So you know, there's that Wow, this 0:57:49.000 --> 0:57:52.120 is so nice to get together and talk about Joey 0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:59.840 and Jessica, Denise. It's it's good. Oh, Chuck, we have 0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:02.520 a question for you about Denise because we were trying 0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:05.400 to figure this out. So how did the role of 0:58:05.840 --> 0:58:08.680 Mrs Teasley because originally we saw she was in it 0:58:08.960 --> 0:58:14.320 as she was with the twins, the twin testing that 0:58:14.360 --> 0:58:18.360 episode or something right, as someone else, and then she 0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:22.200 came back as Mrs Teasley? How did that work? And 0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:25.680 did you plan on her being recurring? I mean that 0:58:25.800 --> 0:58:28.560 part grew and grew and grew. Was that because of 0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:32.720 her personality or how did that come about? Yes? Yes, 0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:36.560 it actually was Tori. She she you know, and I 0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:39.600 had to be reminded of that, but it was you know, 0:58:39.640 --> 0:58:44.440 every once in a while, Um, Diane Young would come 0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:47.720 in and say, remember this actress did only this part 0:58:47.800 --> 0:58:50.320 and you really liked her, and she did well, and 0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:53.960 she would like to come back. And I think that's 0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:56.880 that's what it was. She wanted to do it, and 0:58:56.960 --> 0:58:59.920 we knew and you know, with it with with Denise 0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:03.680 is quality. Particularly then she's being and very much like 0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:07.760 Karen and my French Um the Janice who who was 0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:12.600 the real life Mrs Teasley that was her last name 0:59:12.680 --> 0:59:16.480 was Teesley. And and but anyway, uh, and we know 0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:19.400 well well, but also I don't really lovely speaking points 0:59:20.000 --> 0:59:22.800 and you know, with the principles in a lot of 0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:25.920 the different schools, you know, there's assemblies, and it's the person. 0:59:25.960 --> 0:59:29.880 We knew she'd have great commands and um, and we 0:59:29.880 --> 0:59:33.160 were you know, and I'm not ashamed to say this 0:59:32.720 --> 0:59:35.560 at this point. You know, we we weren't just like 0:59:35.640 --> 0:59:39.200 we had Henry at the Beach Club and Denise. We 0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:42.000 we knew, you know, here on our main cast we 0:59:42.080 --> 0:59:45.480 didn't have people of color, so we also really looked 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:49.840 to bolster that and he became such good friends of 0:59:49.880 --> 0:59:54.960 the show and and of all of you. Clearly, Yeah, hi, Karen, 0:59:55.120 --> 1:00:00.280 Karen Rosen, you were just talking about Denise. But you 1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:04.560 know what, if you remember this isn't for Joey. God 1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:07.280 he was. He was always very nice to me. I 1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:10.240 think the ladies will remember this. And I think I 1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:14.120 speak for Jessica. I love a salam um that he 1:00:14.280 --> 1:00:16.960 was kind of flirty, you know, he was like um 1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:21.280 and such diplomatic. It was like a rap party or 1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:25.320 you know, something where there was alcohol available. You know, 1:00:25.400 --> 1:00:29.000 then I would be sure to have a long conversation 1:00:29.120 --> 1:00:33.919 with with Joey, very close, very close quarters, a long conversation. 1:00:34.440 --> 1:00:38.520 And you know, he never acted disappointed in the outcome. 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:41.040 But you know, I think he was. I think he was. 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:44.680 He was very friendly, let me just say that. But 1:00:44.760 --> 1:00:47.040 we loved him. He was great. He was. It was, 1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:51.320 you know, a pro, a veteran actor. Great to have 1:00:51.800 --> 1:00:55.479 with the young folks. And it was fun to write 1:00:55.520 --> 1:00:57.560 for now. It was fun to write for him, you 1:00:57.600 --> 1:01:00.200 know what I was thinking relative to Karen with are 1:01:00.280 --> 1:01:03.320 writing for Joey, and and it was one that was 1:01:03.360 --> 1:01:06.480 so important. And when when when Brenda, when we did 1:01:06.520 --> 1:01:10.360 Brenda go to the peach pit and be Laverne, you know, 1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:13.200 which was a crazy notion to have her dress off 1:01:13.560 --> 1:01:16.520 and be that character and One of the reasons it 1:01:16.800 --> 1:01:20.800 worked is because Joey was, you know, as the owner 1:01:20.880 --> 1:01:22.960 of it, wasn't Paul. He just went with it. Oh 1:01:23.240 --> 1:01:26.560 here's this crazy kid doing it, and and going and 1:01:26.560 --> 1:01:29.800 sometimes looking back at that episode and you guys doing 1:01:29.880 --> 1:01:33.120 your I think you were the choreographer of that tory 1:01:33.280 --> 1:01:36.240 of of breaking up as hard to do whatever you 1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:39.120 were doing that did that one in there at least 1:01:39.400 --> 1:01:42.400 bringing up that was a different one. But um, anyway, 1:01:42.720 --> 1:01:46.000 you know that light quality that that he could bring, 1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:48.160 that he made it a place you wanted. You wanted 1:01:48.240 --> 1:01:50.520 to be in the peach pit. You wanted it was 1:01:50.600 --> 1:01:53.480 our version of cheers, everyone knows your name, you know 1:01:53.600 --> 1:01:57.160 kind of thing. It was also a spot where they 1:01:57.160 --> 1:01:59.560 would freaklent. That was one of the places we could 1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:03.040 sometime to have a hole cast scene in the peach 1:02:03.080 --> 1:02:06.840 pit or multiples a lot of people in there, and 1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:09.640 those were I was just saying this to somebody else 1:02:09.680 --> 1:02:14.520 this morning, that when the whole gang got together, everyone's 1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:19.400 individual I'm just gonna say star quality. Their charisma was 1:02:19.560 --> 1:02:23.240 magnified and amplified by being all together, and it was 1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:25.920 like more than the sum of its parts. And it 1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:28.440 was fun, really fun to watch, you know, in person 1:02:28.480 --> 1:02:30.520 on the set, I just felt very privileged when I 1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:33.520 was that um and then teach it was one of 1:02:33.560 --> 1:02:37.800 those locations where it was. But that's that episode with Leburn. 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:40.680 That's an example of one that the network didn't I 1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:43.280 didn't care about so much, but the fans really loved, 1:02:43.360 --> 1:02:46.920 and Joey would always tell me that that was their 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:49.120 favorite episode. They would come up to people would tell 1:02:49.160 --> 1:02:52.000 him that was my shavorite, so he would always give 1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:56.480 me that compliment. Always very sweet to me. Um Yeah, 1:02:56.920 --> 1:03:00.240 non really to Jenny Tory lindsay, did you guys ever 1:03:00.320 --> 1:03:02.720 eat a mega burger? What is that? What is Oh 1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:05.120 my gosh, you just read my mind. I was literally 1:03:05.200 --> 1:03:08.439 just thinking about omega burger. Well, I mean I would 1:03:08.480 --> 1:03:09.840 love to have one. I don't know where I would 1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:13.360 get that, but but but did you get it? You 1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:17.000 can get it from Fat Burger. That's where we got it. Okay, 1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:19.200 so I'm going to go to Fat Burger. They would 1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:22.880 literally pick up Fat Burger that morning and plate them. Yep, 1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:28.040 that's a mega Fat Burger. Ken would have done that. Yeah, 1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:31.280 but you can't think of the peach Pit without thinking 1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:35.240 of Nat like they're one and the same they go 1:03:35.320 --> 1:03:40.880 down in history together and that the uniform and it's 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:45.520 this remarkable what an impact that character did have on 1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:50.280 the whole, like you know, sphere of the show and 1:03:51.120 --> 1:03:53.080 how big it was. But it always came back to 1:03:53.560 --> 1:03:57.840 everybody knows the peach pit. Everybody knows Nat Yeah, Chuck, 1:03:57.840 --> 1:04:00.200 who named it the peach pit? I believe it was 1:04:00.320 --> 1:04:03.080 Charles right, which because it was after the Apple Pan. 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:06.840 That's how I remember and why the peach pit was 1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:09.520 that in honor of the apple po it was the 1:04:09.520 --> 1:04:14.840 apple Okay. In fact, when they told them this is 1:04:14.840 --> 1:04:17.880 what we were basing it on the location, people, I went, 1:04:17.920 --> 1:04:19.440 I looked at it, and they built it on the 1:04:19.440 --> 1:04:23.720 set the same way, with no tables because doesn't happy 1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:27.600 just the counter? Yeah, and then they had to add 1:04:27.640 --> 1:04:30.600 the tables. Yeah, because well, everybody was very happy when 1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:32.800 we just built the counter because that's all we could 1:04:32.800 --> 1:04:39.400 afford to build. And white peaches who picked peaches who 1:04:39.440 --> 1:04:43.880 like the peaches, well, Apple Pan, peach pitch. You know, 1:04:45.680 --> 1:04:49.720 it just came to him in a moment of if 1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:52.560 I could get inside the mind of a writer, I 1:04:52.600 --> 1:04:55.120 would love it because that this doesn't come to my mind. 1:04:56.280 --> 1:04:59.960 Apple Pan Larry talked about Larry my mind, be careful. 1:05:02.080 --> 1:05:04.560 You know, there's something should talk about. Didn't Joey have 1:05:04.720 --> 1:05:09.720 this plan to franchise the Peach picture, Yes, and I 1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:11.400 think it was one of the you know, he never 1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:13.400 really got it going. I know, it really haunted him 1:05:13.440 --> 1:05:15.360 a lot of ways because it ran just some problems. 1:05:15.360 --> 1:05:17.480 But that was kind of going for a while in 1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:20.120 the middle seasons. He was gonna have this thing and 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:23.240 all over the world. Yeah, I think Iron was Wasn't 1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:26.680 Iron involved with that whole idea? You maybe you know 1:05:26.680 --> 1:05:34.320 who it was, the you know the guy, Yeah, the 1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:41.439 guy whoa his buddy. The rat pack was their deal. 1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:44.800 I want to switch because Carol Potter has joined us 1:05:44.840 --> 1:05:52.240 here as well. Cal Hello everybody, you see all your 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:59.240 faces YouTube, Jenny h He's all shared some really great 1:05:59.320 --> 1:06:03.960 stories about Joey and just our memories of him. Would 1:06:04.000 --> 1:06:06.120 you like to share with us? Yeah, he had a 1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:08.680 lot of stories too, he was I had had a 1:06:08.680 --> 1:06:11.840 lot of stories. But you know, during the show, we 1:06:11.920 --> 1:06:14.800 didn't um we the parents didn't hang out at the 1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:18.720 Peach bit, surprisingly, but I ran into him at a 1:06:18.720 --> 1:06:22.760 at a benefit. This woman who had a terrible experience 1:06:22.800 --> 1:06:25.960 with lyme disease and nine O two on oh was 1:06:26.000 --> 1:06:28.200 one of the things that helped her get through. And 1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:31.200 Joey happened to be there, and so we we had 1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:35.920 a great time and did another Yeah yeah remember that 1:06:37.040 --> 1:06:40.480 very interesting, And then we did another. We went to 1:06:40.560 --> 1:06:47.160 New Jersey for one of those um celebrity confidence things 1:06:47.200 --> 1:06:50.840 and um it was you know, those things can be 1:06:50.960 --> 1:06:55.760 so so wearing. But it was great to have him 1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:58.600 there and we could just bounce stuff off of one 1:06:58.600 --> 1:07:04.080 another and was good company. Um. And what a devoted father. 1:07:04.240 --> 1:07:07.959 I mean he talked about his daughter all all the time. 1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:12.000 His world just revolved around her. She was Kelly was 1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:14.280 basically raised on the set of nine O two and 1:07:14.360 --> 1:07:18.720 now his daughter. She was always there growing up. I 1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:23.720 had forgotten that that's true. I remember now she was 1:07:23.840 --> 1:07:26.840 little when we met her, little little. He was crazy 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:29.880 about her. Yeah. How old was she when when the 1:07:29.920 --> 1:07:34.360 show started? Oh my gosh, gosh, how under ten? I 1:07:34.400 --> 1:07:39.160 don't have yeah, definitely like yeah wow. Speaking of the 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:42.920 peach fit, I had a really weird, like meta meta 1:07:43.160 --> 1:07:47.960 moment when my kids um school fundraiser this year. The 1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:52.560 theme was nine ohs oh for nine, which was the 1:07:52.840 --> 1:07:55.080 zip code of the school and it was a nine 1:07:55.200 --> 1:07:58.680 two themed fundraiser and I had to go to the 1:07:58.720 --> 1:08:02.000 fundraiser and everyone it's just like, you know, there were 1:08:02.040 --> 1:08:03.800 just a lot of nats. There are a lot of 1:08:03.880 --> 1:08:06.560 nats there, and just tell you that did you dress 1:08:06.600 --> 1:08:11.400 this Janet? Well, my husband wanted to be Steve, and 1:08:11.560 --> 1:08:13.040 who's like, just go as you and I don't know, 1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:17.120 I don't know how to nail this. No, that's a 1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:20.600 really good idea. Yeah, And I don't even know if 1:08:20.640 --> 1:08:22.280 half the moms knew I ever saw on the show, 1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:29.200 but I wanted I was Berda and my my blonde 1:08:29.240 --> 1:08:33.120 friend was was Kelly, and we wore the same prom dress. 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:38.759 I want to see that. That's great. I think Jason 1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:42.120 had his daughter had a thing where she had a dress, 1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:45.760 a dance, yeah, dance and nine theme dance at her 1:08:45.800 --> 1:08:49.960 school too. She's probably really popular that night. And yeah, 1:08:50.040 --> 1:08:54.439 there are pictures of her dad there. So crazy. And 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:57.320 the point to makeup, just to mention, is that in 1:08:57.360 --> 1:09:00.280 the various stages of nine two that came back, they 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:02.760 always brought Nat back. Right in the in the Little 1:09:03.200 --> 1:09:05.840 w version, they brought Nat back and he had some 1:09:06.000 --> 1:09:09.519 like coffee shop, peach pit which is just really bizarre. 1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:12.160 But but he was there. I mean, so did you 1:09:12.200 --> 1:09:14.200 get to reconnect with him, Jenny when you when you 1:09:14.240 --> 1:09:18.800 did that, I wasn't on that. You weren't on that. 1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:24.200 She's joking, No, I'm joking. He wasn't on it when 1:09:24.200 --> 1:09:25.439 I was on it. I was only on it for 1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:32.120 how many episodes? Two? Just like three? I think it 1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:34.600 is an inside joke that we were talking about the 1:09:34.640 --> 1:09:38.200 c W version and Jen was like, well, I don't 1:09:38.240 --> 1:09:40.240 remember that much. I was only on three episodes. I 1:09:40.280 --> 1:09:42.120 was like, I'm telling you, you were on a lot 1:09:42.160 --> 1:09:45.439 of them. And then we googled it together and she 1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:51.839 was on twenty two episodes. I was gonna say, like character, yeah, piotal. 1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:54.519 She probably wasn't on the episode. Was he only in 1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:57.040 one episode? I think it was on one episode. That's 1:09:57.080 --> 1:09:59.160 so cool though, that they did that. You know, I 1:09:59.200 --> 1:10:02.160 wouldn't I don't would have remembered seeing him there, and 1:10:02.240 --> 1:10:05.000 we would have absolutely, of course had him on b 1:10:05.200 --> 1:10:07.120 H nine O two and oh, but we knew, you know, 1:10:07.240 --> 1:10:10.800 he was already diagnosed with Alzheimer's and suffering, and when 1:10:10.880 --> 1:10:12.920 we saw him at the peach Pit at the pop 1:10:13.000 --> 1:10:16.200 up afterwards, he in fact said to us, you know, 1:10:16.280 --> 1:10:17.840 I want I want to be on it. We're like 1:10:17.920 --> 1:10:20.280 second season. If it goes a second season, of course 1:10:20.320 --> 1:10:23.840 you're going to be on it. And then it didn't. Yeah, 1:10:23.880 --> 1:10:26.640 it should be. There should have been a second season. Sorry, 1:10:27.560 --> 1:10:29.280 I had to tell you. Can I just pipe in 1:10:29.280 --> 1:10:31.679 and say to you girls, you did such a perfect job. 1:10:31.800 --> 1:10:36.639 I thought you did this, Thank you. It was so 1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:40.240 clever and so well done. We had fun, right, Carol, 1:10:40.960 --> 1:10:43.760 that was That was my best day of filming in 1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:47.960 my entire career. Oh my god, we had so much 1:10:48.040 --> 1:10:50.600 fun that that was such a great day. It was 1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:55.000 so nice that Jason was directing and we basically were 1:10:55.080 --> 1:10:57.880 just hanging out together all day on the set, right 1:10:57.880 --> 1:11:01.559 because we're all sitting there, there was barely of any blocking. Yeah, 1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:06.040 Carol played our theory, and there was such a different 1:11:06.080 --> 1:11:10.280 experience than being like teenagers on set and in our minds, 1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:13.439 you know, Carol was the parents, and now it was 1:11:13.479 --> 1:11:15.559 like we were all peers and we were sitting there 1:11:15.560 --> 1:11:17.880 and we got to know Carol on a different level. 1:11:18.240 --> 1:11:20.120 We're like, oh my god, what were we missing all 1:11:20.120 --> 1:11:23.479 these years. You're so funny, You're so cool, Like we 1:11:23.520 --> 1:11:26.960 should have been hanging out with you. Well, I was 1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:31.080 just it was thrilled to hang out with adults. You 1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:36.360 guys become um, you know, that's very special. That's very special. 1:11:36.640 --> 1:11:39.800 Thank you. And Joey actually got to see a lot 1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:42.960 more of that, didn't he, Because he was on the 1:11:43.000 --> 1:11:46.680 whole ten years, wasn't he. So he got to be 1:11:46.840 --> 1:11:51.000 with you as you sort of grew into more of 1:11:51.040 --> 1:11:54.040 an adulthood, right, and all of us kind of we 1:11:54.040 --> 1:11:56.599 were always all at the peach pits, so he got 1:11:56.600 --> 1:11:59.200 to be with all of us all the time, which 1:11:59.240 --> 1:12:01.400 one you didn't really get to have that. Well, we 1:12:01.560 --> 1:12:07.840 had you in the living room, living room, and of 1:12:07.880 --> 1:12:10.519 course there's a last episode of season one, you know, 1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:16.479 going away late Ye that parents were there, came to 1:12:16.479 --> 1:12:19.840 the peach right, that's right. So yes, occasionally we showed 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:23.400 up at the peach bit and wait the second you Carol, 1:12:23.439 --> 1:12:27.240 But you know remember the episode where house um, where 1:12:27.320 --> 1:12:32.680 Jane were went to the cam all karaoke client put 1:12:32.720 --> 1:12:36.960 the karaoke machine. Everybody that was early karaoke there was, 1:12:37.120 --> 1:12:39.639 you know in the United States and you got guys 1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:43.200 were doing it down in Koreatown a lot. You you 1:12:43.240 --> 1:12:46.599 were cutting edge on the karaoke scene. They're cutting edge 1:12:46.600 --> 1:12:50.400 on everything. By the way, really we talk on our 1:12:50.439 --> 1:12:53.000 podcast all the time about nine O, two and O 1:12:53.160 --> 1:12:57.040 the stories everything connected to it, um, talking about the 1:12:57.160 --> 1:13:00.400 environment even back then, like it was all so like 1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:03.760 cutting edge of what would like end up you know, 1:13:03.800 --> 1:13:07.240 being huge now that everyone talks about the topical you know, 1:13:07.320 --> 1:13:11.799 issues we dealt with. Well even so, the one thing is, Michael, 1:13:12.479 --> 1:13:15.519 this is more for you. Um. We saw this episode, 1:13:15.560 --> 1:13:19.719 second one we did with uh when the Joey got casting. 1:13:19.800 --> 1:13:23.360 In fact, um, it had to do with shoplifting. And 1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:25.679 I'm looking at I haven't seen it since its air. 1:13:26.280 --> 1:13:29.559 That pet confirmed this. There's a whole passage they started 1:13:29.680 --> 1:13:33.640 the girls are sitting around talking about white privilege in 1:13:36.200 --> 1:13:43.920 talking Wow. So you know it was like we really 1:13:43.960 --> 1:13:48.760 were in some of this cutting edge uh political discourse here. 1:13:49.200 --> 1:13:53.840 That's that's pretty amazing. I think I need to go 1:13:53.880 --> 1:13:58.800 watch it again. Now. That was the second episode chup, 1:13:59.240 --> 1:14:03.040 not after the pilot, but the second season. First when 1:14:03.040 --> 1:14:07.559 you met Dylan, then I guess the second one you 1:14:07.600 --> 1:14:14.240 met Nat and you know when James and I whenever 1:14:14.240 --> 1:14:18.719 there was like an adult on the set usually glombed 1:14:18.800 --> 1:14:23.920 onto the adult like really connecting with Joey in that. 1:14:24.080 --> 1:14:29.200 In that episode, we talked about sometimes on OMG, we 1:14:29.240 --> 1:14:32.320 talked about how the things that are show got some 1:14:32.400 --> 1:14:34.120 of the things that are show got away with, saying 1:14:34.160 --> 1:14:37.000 that you can never get away with Oh my god. Yes, 1:14:38.080 --> 1:14:41.040 they stick out like red flags now, like things that 1:14:41.400 --> 1:14:46.240 people would just freak out about these days. Yeah, and 1:14:47.160 --> 1:14:49.880 it's interesting to see how how we got away with 1:14:49.880 --> 1:14:52.680 it and how wasn't it wasn't such a topic of 1:14:52.680 --> 1:14:56.120 conversation back then. Well, it's it's really interesting. You know. 1:14:56.160 --> 1:14:57.920 I taught for a couple of years of U C 1:14:58.080 --> 1:15:00.960 l A. And I wanted to do like a history 1:15:01.040 --> 1:15:06.280 of network programming, and I started, I want to see 1:15:06.280 --> 1:15:08.439 if I could get a shook class like that together. 1:15:09.200 --> 1:15:12.200 And one of my favorite shows of all time, Karen 1:15:12.240 --> 1:15:16.000 Knows It's his Hill Street Blues. Nobody had ever seen 1:15:16.040 --> 1:15:19.439 anything like Hill Street Blues when it first aired, and 1:15:19.520 --> 1:15:24.760 today it is unwatchable. It is so sexist and racist 1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:28.200 and vile. And we were sitting there with the director, 1:15:28.320 --> 1:15:32.080 a fine man named Bob Butler, a really classy individual. 1:15:32.360 --> 1:15:34.960 I actually did a pilot with him for ABC at 1:15:35.000 --> 1:15:38.840 one point and really enjoyed the experience. Immensely and he 1:15:38.920 --> 1:15:43.240 was embarrassed, like like turn it off. It was it 1:15:43.360 --> 1:15:45.479 was a different country and we got away with a 1:15:45.520 --> 1:15:49.920 lot of stuff. Yeah, this has been great, guys, catching 1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:53.120 up and seeing all of you and reliving this stuff. 1:15:53.560 --> 1:15:56.400 You know, I mean this all three people that I've gotten. 1:15:56.439 --> 1:15:58.679 I got to know Jessica. We had Denis on our 1:15:58.680 --> 1:16:01.599 podcast too, and and we did that zoom with with 1:16:01.680 --> 1:16:04.360 Joey and it was really it's been just great to 1:16:04.400 --> 1:16:07.559 be part of this universe. And I know as a fan, 1:16:07.720 --> 1:16:09.560 like as I said to you guys earlier, like you 1:16:09.720 --> 1:16:13.280 really made a difference in your work. And um, I 1:16:13.280 --> 1:16:15.840 think a lot of people are looking for a place 1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:18.120 to go right now when they're dealing with their own 1:16:18.160 --> 1:16:19.960 loss and whatnot. And the fact that they have Beverly 1:16:20.000 --> 1:16:22.559 Hills Nino too and what we were just talking about 1:16:22.720 --> 1:16:25.200 is so important because it's a place that is always 1:16:25.200 --> 1:16:28.880 there for them. So um, it's it's really beautiful. What 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:32.960 you guys did in this conversation has been really awesome too. Yeah. Well, Pete, 1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:35.640 we have to say thank you to you also for 1:16:35.760 --> 1:16:39.679 bringing a soul back together. I mean this has led 1:16:39.760 --> 1:16:43.799 me to appreciate this whole experience on a whole other level. 1:16:44.040 --> 1:16:50.080 I mean getting to know people again. Yeah, thank yeah, well, 1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:57.760 thank you Pete. We also have a message UM that 1:16:57.920 --> 1:17:02.280 was recorded from Brian Austin green Um talking about Joey, 1:17:02.400 --> 1:17:05.479 So we want to go to that now. Joey was 1:17:05.560 --> 1:17:11.760 around the entire time. He was He was one of 1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.439 the main voices on the show. I mean, he was 1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:20.800 the He was definitely um a heart and soul and 1:17:21.400 --> 1:17:24.559 what it is we did, and and fans really looked 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:27.920 forward to seeing him and seeing seeing the moments that 1:17:28.040 --> 1:17:31.000 he was in, and he brought so much light to 1:17:31.280 --> 1:17:34.719 to what we did. UM. Our show was a teenage 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:39.760 drama and and and the character of Nat wasn't necessarily 1:17:40.000 --> 1:17:43.400 a part of that drama. He was He was the 1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:46.719 the joy and the escape I think for people watching 1:17:46.760 --> 1:17:50.960 the show, UM, just because they had that chance to 1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:53.320 then get away and sort of laugh with him and 1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:56.040 smile with him. He had such a great energy to him, 1:17:56.840 --> 1:18:02.680 and he readiated so much love and enjoy that you 1:18:02.800 --> 1:18:05.360 couldn't help but smile when you saw him or you 1:18:05.400 --> 1:18:08.639 were around him. Personally, he was. He was an amazing man. 1:18:08.920 --> 1:18:12.560 He really was. Uh. Denise Dows same thing. She she 1:18:12.800 --> 1:18:17.640 was fantastic. Um. She was so professional when she got 1:18:17.680 --> 1:18:21.880 to set. She was so kind, she was so generous. UM. 1:18:22.120 --> 1:18:26.200 And then Jessica, I mean, she's what a force she 1:18:26.479 --> 1:18:29.880 was in She was in every episode just writing her 1:18:30.040 --> 1:18:32.960 heart out. And she was so good at listening to 1:18:34.720 --> 1:18:37.080 all the actors that were there and whatever notes they 1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:40.800 had and whatever thoughts they had and incorporating them, um 1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:48.000 without letting us uh mess it up, you know, which 1:18:48.320 --> 1:18:50.040 which is an easy that's an easy thing to do. 1:18:50.200 --> 1:18:51.760 I mean you get a bunch of kids in there 1:18:51.840 --> 1:18:54.720 who all of a sudden think they're awesome, and then 1:18:54.840 --> 1:18:56.559 you know, they're like, oh, I can write a script, 1:18:56.600 --> 1:19:01.680 and it's like you can't. Yeah, it's definitely not that easy. Um. 1:19:02.080 --> 1:19:04.960 Joey was. Joey was one of those guys though that 1:19:05.200 --> 1:19:08.040 no matter what was going on in his life, he 1:19:08.160 --> 1:19:13.800 would he would share it openly. But he was very optimistic. 1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:19.400 He Um. He never ever brought things to set with 1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:23.760 a sense of woe is me? What am I gonna do? Um? 1:19:24.040 --> 1:19:26.600 You know I need fifteen to step off set and 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:29.360 go do like he just he would just sort of 1:19:29.560 --> 1:19:33.760 rise above everything and uh and smile through it all. 1:19:34.000 --> 1:19:37.400 And he was really positive in the way that he 1:19:37.640 --> 1:19:42.559 dealt with life, and then for us as a as 1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:44.599 a young cast, I think it was just so helpful 1:19:44.720 --> 1:19:49.439 having someone as seasoned as he was and as kind 1:19:49.560 --> 1:19:52.880 and as thoughtful as he was, uh, that that we 1:19:53.000 --> 1:19:55.920 saw every single week. I mean we were we were 1:19:55.960 --> 1:19:59.240 in the peach pit almost every episode of of you know, 1:19:59.520 --> 1:20:03.400 ten years of the show. He um. So, I I 1:20:03.520 --> 1:20:05.960 had no idea who he was. I had no idea 1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:09.120 who Aaron Spelling was. I was like, I was young. 1:20:09.240 --> 1:20:11.760 I was really outside of the world of television at 1:20:11.800 --> 1:20:14.479 that point, you know, I was. I just didn't I 1:20:14.800 --> 1:20:17.360 didn't know all the ins and outs and the connections 1:20:17.400 --> 1:20:20.720 and all the people that had done it. Um, Joey was. 1:20:21.240 --> 1:20:25.560 Joey was honestly, amazingly kind from the very beginning. He 1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:30.120 was never anything but loving and sweet. He never uh, 1:20:31.160 --> 1:20:33.080 he never had a sense of like, you know, hey kid, 1:20:33.160 --> 1:20:34.479 let me show you how to do this. You know. 1:20:34.600 --> 1:20:38.960 He he always spoke, which I really appreciated. He really 1:20:39.080 --> 1:20:43.880 spoke from a place of this is what I've experienced, um, 1:20:45.160 --> 1:20:47.840 but it may not be what you experienced. So you know, 1:20:48.080 --> 1:20:49.840 it's you've got to make your own choices, and you 1:20:50.000 --> 1:20:51.439 you have to love your own life and you have 1:20:51.600 --> 1:20:54.280 to find your own way through it. I can. He 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:56.599 would help whenever he could. He would sort of take 1:20:56.640 --> 1:20:58.320 your hand and guide you through it a little bit. 1:20:59.160 --> 1:21:03.240 But he was never, um, he was never BOSSI He 1:21:03.400 --> 1:21:05.599 was never never that guy that was like, I've done 1:21:05.640 --> 1:21:07.479 all this and you know my way is the right 1:21:07.560 --> 1:21:10.439 way now, because I've lived at all. And he lived. 1:21:10.680 --> 1:21:14.040 He had lived a long life at that point. I 1:21:14.080 --> 1:21:16.560 mean he was when we started, he had done a 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:18.479 lot of stuff. He had been in the business for 1:21:18.560 --> 1:21:21.920 a while. He had worked with a lot of people. Um. 1:21:22.160 --> 1:21:24.880 I mean if for fans of his, if they go 1:21:25.040 --> 1:21:27.320 back through his body of work and go back through 1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:32.920 his IMDb page, it's literally it's like he's it's a 1:21:33.040 --> 1:21:36.000 who's who of people that you've ever heard of, and 1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:38.720 Joey has worked with all of them, I mean just 1:21:39.080 --> 1:21:43.719 every single person. Um. But he was amazing. He made 1:21:44.920 --> 1:21:48.720 He just brought so much life to what to what 1:21:48.840 --> 1:21:53.200 he was given. It wasn't he wasn't necessarily written the 1:21:53.880 --> 1:21:56.360 best stuff. I mean he was you know, he was 1:21:56.960 --> 1:21:59.600 the guy that owned the peach pitt And so we 1:21:59.680 --> 1:22:02.280 would in sometimes and he had very repetitive you know, 1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:04.960 Mega Burger to Mega Burgers. But you know it's like 1:22:05.080 --> 1:22:07.400 it was sort of yeah, it was started the same stuff. 1:22:07.479 --> 1:22:09.479 We're going vanilla today, are we going? We think it 1:22:09.520 --> 1:22:15.760 with Strawberry um uh, the Peach Prize fresh um. So uh. 1:22:16.200 --> 1:22:17.680 You know, he didn't have a lot to work with 1:22:17.800 --> 1:22:22.040 sometimes and he uh and it never showed. He never 1:22:23.160 --> 1:22:25.760 he never complained about it. He never was on set 1:22:25.880 --> 1:22:27.800 going I can't believe what I'm saying this again. He 1:22:27.960 --> 1:22:31.800 just every single take, every single run, was just the 1:22:31.920 --> 1:22:38.719 consummate professional um. And he was just a great guide 1:22:38.840 --> 1:22:42.200 for I felt for a young actor like myself to 1:22:42.640 --> 1:22:46.120 um to aspire to be on some moveel. I mean 1:22:46.200 --> 1:22:49.720 he really he really set the tone for me of 1:22:50.560 --> 1:22:54.320 he and and Luke really set the tone for me 1:22:54.760 --> 1:22:58.720 of the type of person, the type of life that 1:22:58.840 --> 1:23:02.120 I wanted to live in, the type of person that 1:23:02.200 --> 1:23:04.040 I wanted to be no matter what was going on 1:23:04.479 --> 1:23:09.280 in life. And he was. He was an amazing man. 1:23:10.120 --> 1:23:13.280 It's so interesting to see how we all have the 1:23:13.400 --> 1:23:16.960 same perspective. We all had our own separate experiences with 1:23:17.120 --> 1:23:20.400 Joey and with Jessica, and with Denise and with Luke, 1:23:20.680 --> 1:23:23.600 but we but everybody's stories are somehow we've together the 1:23:23.680 --> 1:23:26.439 same and that's how you know that you're dealing with 1:23:26.560 --> 1:23:31.360 just a really genuine, authentic person Um and we're all 1:23:31.479 --> 1:23:35.840 so blessed to know him and work with him.
