Speaker 1: It's nine O gene Angine with Jenny Garth and Tory Spelling.
Speaker 2: You guys, we're so seasonal. What do you mean, grel warm,
Speaker 2: all cozy? I got the old uh winter sore throat.
Speaker 2: Woke up with that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I knew last night. I thought I can feel myself swallowing.
Speaker 1: That's not good.
Speaker 2: You usually can't feel yourself swallowing. It's not something I
Speaker 2: notice right, And it's just sort of like you're.
Speaker 3: Like glunk.
Speaker 2: Well, and you're like, did I eat a chip wrong?
Speaker 2: Or am I am? I hosed right now?
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I'm totally hosed, and then
Speaker 1: it's not horrible.
Speaker 3: But it's there. Well, well, you look good.
Speaker 2: If you could see her, she looks good.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my Target Wicked pants. They're very soft.
Speaker 3: Oh, I just got that, very exciting.
Speaker 2: I had to Target for the good. Well, seasonally we're
Speaker 2: all cozy and sorry me sick, but seasonally we're also
Speaker 2: here for a new season. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: It's kind of major. And I have a question for you.
Speaker 2: What did you.
Speaker 3: Notice anything major in the opening credits?
Speaker 2: No? But did you that's actually watched them for one
Speaker 2: other than the fact.
Speaker 1: That I think it's interesting that they add Hillary Swank
Speaker 1: to the credits before we've even met.
Speaker 3: Her, I know, and Vincent E.
Speaker 2: Young and we haven't even met them yet.
Speaker 1: It feels like they would do the credits without them,
Speaker 1: and then once they appear.
Speaker 3: Right weird Tracy was Tracy's character in the opening credits. Now, well, then,
Speaker 3: what the heck is.
Speaker 2: Happenings just making a guest appearance?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, what the heck is happening with two
Speaker 3: new people in seasons? Season A opening credits, no explanation,
Speaker 3: no idea who these people are.
Speaker 2: There is some big discussions that happened over the hill.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the guests that they were paid money
Speaker 1: and negotiated the title credits into their contract.
Speaker 3: They had to have been signed on as cast members
Speaker 3: like regulars.
Speaker 2: They were both signed on as full time cast members,
Speaker 2: two new cast members.
Speaker 1: That's why the Hillary Swank thing against kind of dramatic
Speaker 1: because she leaves early.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, ma'am, don't tell her, but it.
Speaker 2: Feels like we kind of need to discuss it. And
Speaker 2: here's why why why.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to analyze her character in this
Speaker 1: episode because it makes it clearer why the audience did
Speaker 1: not like her and they let her go.
Speaker 2: Wait, what girl?
Speaker 3: What is happening? They introduced her. We will analyze her
Speaker 3: in this episode that I didn't know she's leaving.
Speaker 2: Well, she was supposed to be on, but they fire her. Basically,
Speaker 2: when it happens, I'll tell you the exact story.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's right there. Oh my god, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Oh boy.
Speaker 3: I like side by side plays, but I have a theory.
Speaker 2: I have a theory which we can get to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not there yet, I don't think.
Speaker 2: Well, we can discuss it a little bit today.
Speaker 3: If you would like to. Okay, do we have to?
Speaker 2: This is our one shot talk about us TV actresses. Please,
Speaker 2: we'll get to her. She gets her just desserts and
Speaker 2: then she won an Oscar. Correct.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about how they made her character
Speaker 1: so unlikable. That's what I want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Amy's been talking about this for the last two weeks.
Speaker 3: She's well, we can talk about then if I want
Speaker 3: Amy to thank This is exciting though. We are on
Speaker 3: our very first episode of season eight and there's new
Speaker 3: things happening. I think I've done and had a baby.
Speaker 3: Definitely because now I don't look pregnant anymore, but I
Speaker 3: still look like I just live.
Speaker 2: Don't you say a word.
Speaker 3: I look like it is not a baby.
Speaker 1: They're showing your full body now, which is like, we
Speaker 1: know you've had the baby because they're showing you.
Speaker 2: Correct. So we filmed the Hawaii Stuffgenden film till the
Speaker 2: very end. Oh so you were telling me why Trumparter?
Speaker 2: So you guys are okay, you did it out of order?
Speaker 2: Got it? So it gave her more time off? Got it?
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 3: Glad you remember we're talking about Aloha. Beverly Hills, Part one,
Speaker 3: aired September tenth, nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2: Synopsis. Valerie is making a splash on the job market,
Speaker 2: Kelly finds TRACE's of Tracy Gallien, Brandon is begging to
Speaker 2: write obituaries. Steve starts off on the wrong foot with
Speaker 2: a soccer mom. Donna gets laid in Honolulu, while David's
Speaker 2: bottom line put the Pepad in financial free fall.
Speaker 3: Directed by Bethany Rooney, written by Michael Braverman.
Speaker 1: Huh so, did you guys notice it's a little bit
Speaker 1: sexier or is that just me? I've noticed they've leveled
Speaker 1: it up a little bit more like a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Can you just start with the narration the voiceover of Jason,
Speaker 2: good call, good call, talk about it?
Speaker 3: You don't like it? You do like it? What's happening?
Speaker 3: I it feels like a different show. What's happening?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm hesitant to say it because there
Speaker 2: were parts of it that I felt my dad's fingerprints
Speaker 2: all over it. But it felt a little old timey, cheesy, cheesy.
Speaker 3: Yes, is it just the voiceover is what he's saying.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just it's the wording of what was written.
Speaker 3: Oh, ok And I knew.
Speaker 2: I was like, I could feel like it wasn't I
Speaker 2: felt like Jason wasn't that into it, Like he was
Speaker 2: just like, Okay, here I go. I'm going to read
Speaker 2: it monotone Brandon. And then but I was like excited
Speaker 2: for it. And then when I saw it and Valerie
Speaker 2: thought a new hair, new hairdo would change her luck
Speaker 2: or something, I was like, oh, that's so my dad.
Speaker 2: He needed to call it out if someone had a
Speaker 2: hair change.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, she went to blonde.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unnecessary, the whole Like, here's here's what sps we
Speaker 1: be gil this summer. Do you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it was like, can I just learn it by learning it?
Speaker 2: Right? I feel like the big one was, Oh, how
Speaker 2: do we address Valerie's hair. Let's put a whole voiceover
Speaker 2: in the front. Yeah, it's like, but who really cares?
Speaker 2: I guess no one want. Yeah, I guess it caught
Speaker 2: us so fast. But nothing.
Speaker 3: It's just different now, like our minds are so accustomed
Speaker 3: to things changing all the time. I think when people
Speaker 3: were watching that show in the nineties, they were dead
Speaker 3: set on everything like being the same, and then when
Speaker 3: there's a big change, they need a little more hand holding.
Speaker 2: Can I go out on the limb and just say something?
Speaker 4: I think the writing's sort of wacky. It's like, it's
Speaker 4: this is why I don't like Hillary Swank's character. You
Speaker 4: don't want to say wacky. You want to say what sucks.
Speaker 2: Fair. I didn't think the writing was great in this episode.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm sorry I didn't either. No, no offense.
Speaker 3: I mean, but someone's definitely going to be offended, Like.
Speaker 2: What are you trying to say?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can noticeably sort of see like what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's just they're trying all kinds of things, right, That
Speaker 1: sweaty sort of shirtless walk and talk with the boys,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of cool, but it was also
Speaker 1: like it's happening here. And then my main problem with
Speaker 1: the episode, I'll just tell you Hillary's I always thought
Speaker 1: that Hillary Swank was bad at this part. That was
Speaker 1: always sort of my notion looking back on it, remembering, Oh,
Speaker 1: Hillary Swank was not good. It's not that she wasn't good.
Speaker 1: She actually is good.
Speaker 2: It's that they wrote her so ridiculously, like she comes
Speaker 2: in hot.
Speaker 1: She's kind of awful from the start, like why who's
Speaker 1: going up to some dad that's just trying to help
Speaker 1: a kid and be like, why are you touching my kid?
Speaker 2: And so mad.
Speaker 3: I liked it that she was like get your hands
Speaker 3: off him, Like I liked her there, like if you're
Speaker 3: a mom, you'd be like, and there's a grown man
Speaker 3: with his hands on your son's shine, but it's.
Speaker 1: Clearly a dad at the soccer game and the kid
Speaker 1: she just for me comes in so hot, and then
Speaker 1: it's the I could have tolerated that if not for
Speaker 1: the restaurant scene right where she's no waiter server is
Speaker 1: behaving that way, and then the date is so horrific
Speaker 1: that the whole thing, and then the guy over there,
Speaker 1: I need my drink now.
Speaker 2: The whole thing just seemed like what in the what
Speaker 2: is happening in this scene?
Speaker 3: It's just hard to like go go in the very
Speaker 3: first episode of a new season and you're already like
Speaker 3: going off to stories that are new, and instead I
Speaker 3: feel they've ogs yeah more that to kind of set
Speaker 3: up the season and then gently roll into that Like
Speaker 3: I was like, who's this new waitress at the yeah? Mad?
Speaker 3: Like where'd she come from? I never saw her before
Speaker 3: in my life? And then then the character of.
Speaker 1: When she came in with the little tuxedo, I was like,
Speaker 1: am I having something wrong with me?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Who is that person?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: I was literally like does is that Valerie? In my eyes?
Speaker 2: Don't work?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: I was like, what is happening? Like do you want to?
Speaker 2: Don't set her up at all? She comes in and
Speaker 2: she's just like Donna pick these out, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: who are you?
Speaker 3: How do you know? Donna?
Speaker 2: Just get them a little scar?
Speaker 3: Like how much did I miss? Did I miss them?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was like, how menopause? Am I what happening?
Speaker 2: That's like a good thing to bring up in a
Speaker 2: bigger way that how much disservice do writers and producers
Speaker 2: do introducing new characters to an audience of any show
Speaker 2: that is like a long standing show that people love,
Speaker 2: like it's hard if they don't accept you and they
Speaker 2: don't do it the right way. It's kind of it.
Speaker 2: You only get one shot.
Speaker 3: There's a plenty of.
Speaker 1: Shows where they introduce new characters in a normal way.
Speaker 1: It seems like all of a sudden, David's in his
Speaker 1: office and there's a girl talking to him like she's
Speaker 1: supposed to be my best friend, and I'm like, who
Speaker 1: is this in the little white tank.
Speaker 2: Top with the black tie.
Speaker 3: I was like, what's what's happening? I like the outfit though,
Speaker 3: good job Donna, me too.
Speaker 2: It's very cute. So I think that's my beef.
Speaker 1: Like, I think that they were trying so hard to like,
Speaker 1: I feel like what they were trying to do was
Speaker 1: like introduce Hillary Swank as sort of this foil to
Speaker 1: Steve right the opposite to him, and she comes in
Speaker 1: kind of like I don't care about you, get away
Speaker 1: from me, and then we're going to see them fall
Speaker 1: in love, right, But they made her so unlikable from
Speaker 1: the jump that it's why I think she only lasts
Speaker 1: like episodes or whatever it is, because.
Speaker 2: She's just I'm just like, oh, you're not nice, You're
Speaker 2: not nice.
Speaker 3: I think that she's such a good actress that she
Speaker 3: took the page, she took the words on the page,
Speaker 3: and she actually really brought them to life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe no.
Speaker 3: One was there saying let's lighten that up just a little.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what was the problem, but I guess
Speaker 3: she comes in pretty hot. But I can definitely see
Speaker 3: why her character would be a little bit shaken and maybe,
Speaker 3: you know, you can kind of see her car her
Speaker 3: running to the gamelight like her work, her job, Like
Speaker 3: she's definitely clearly running on fumes, the single mom struggling.
Speaker 2: We get that.
Speaker 1: But like, I think, had they written her differently, I
Speaker 1: actually could have really liked her and gone three seasons
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like they wrote her
Speaker 2: so negative that I'm like, why would.
Speaker 4: I like her?
Speaker 2: She's so awful?
Speaker 1: And the date Also, if I'm just gonna call it
Speaker 1: out that Steve is on, she's also awful.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I just don't think that's a great match
Speaker 3: for Steve.
Speaker 2: Michael Braverman wrote many scripts for us. Do you remember
Speaker 2: him Jim and dark Beard? Yesy am, But was this
Speaker 2: like his first and then he kept going with us?
Speaker 2: He was only later seasons.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering. Maybe I'm really not sure.
Speaker 2: We're not sure. But Bethany was one of our main
Speaker 2: female directors or only female directors. Yeah, so we had
Speaker 2: grown with her. She had been with us since the
Speaker 2: first season, so by this point it's not the director.
Speaker 2: But she was very hands on directing like she wasn't
Speaker 2: some directors would let us just like do whatever we
Speaker 2: want to, just go like. She was very good with that.
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying I'm surprised that she, especially with
Speaker 2: a new cast member being a female, that she wouldn't
Speaker 2: have said that a question. Can director just go like
Speaker 2: the script is so bad?
Speaker 3: I don't think they can, right, Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 3: that that would benefit them at all, right, say that,
Speaker 3: but they would probably want to tighten things up, because
Speaker 3: if your point is to get the audience to like
Speaker 3: Hillary Swank right, to fall in love with her so
Speaker 3: that we really root for her and Steve, and why
Speaker 3: have her start where we're all like, yeah, you're awful.
Speaker 2: The date he's on is awful. This restaurant scene is
Speaker 2: people behaving in such a awful manner, right.
Speaker 3: It's not realistic.
Speaker 2: Oh, it just was like, yeah, totally, that kid is adorable.
Speaker 3: So cute. It's such a good point because, yeah, you
Speaker 3: we want to stick around, We want the audience to
Speaker 3: like her and root for them. But it's a weird
Speaker 3: way to set it up. Yeah, it's kind of like
Speaker 3: the wrong.
Speaker 2: And maybe I get that.
Speaker 1: They they're like, we'll redeem her, but like we already
Speaker 1: know Jamie Walters, that doesn't work. Yeah, Now, Aaron is adorable,
Speaker 1: Steve with Air is adorable, Steve with the Little Boy
Speaker 1: is adorable. There was such a way to do it
Speaker 1: where we would have been like, I frankly think I
Speaker 1: like her better than Claire potentially as an actor or character.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could see it, But then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're the worst. And it's not Hillary Swank because I
Speaker 1: always thought maybe she just didn't ever see legs yet.
Speaker 2: No, she's good at it. She's a good actor. Hello
Speaker 2: Karate Kidden three. Also, because I'm just gonna tell you
Speaker 2: guys this now.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, has she already done Karate Kid?
Speaker 2: She's done? Yeah, I believe So wait should we check that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, because she gets let go from this
Speaker 1: show early, and that's why she got Boys Don't cryes
Speaker 1: because she was free to audition. So she won the
Speaker 1: Oscar because the nine two one zero riders like kur
Speaker 1: Dirry and the fans.
Speaker 2: Just thought she sucked. I have another question, sorry, so
Speaker 2: many questions.
Speaker 1: How without social media did you all and I mean
Speaker 1: like Cass Crew writers.
Speaker 3: No live when an audience happily hated a character, we
Speaker 3: didn't I think they had to they would do like
Speaker 3: what was called or did they even do focus groups
Speaker 3: or were they just getting like write in comments yeah,
Speaker 3: or just vibes or something? What's that called fan mail? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because somehow they say the audience didn't like Jamie Walters
Speaker 1: and they didn't you know, not Jamie Walters.
Speaker 3: Did they know?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's my questions, like how did they know?
Speaker 3: Maybe the audience meant like the net the network executives
Speaker 3: that watched it in the office.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they brought they broke down the analytics
Speaker 2: of the ratings, right, wasn't there a way to gauge
Speaker 2: what they like watched? What was that thing called that box?
Speaker 2: You got Neil silsan box? You could tell like certain
Speaker 2: scenes if people like kind of walked out and didn't look.
Speaker 3: How did they know there was a way?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Uh Am, I like a dial because it was like
Speaker 3: a box sign, like.
Speaker 2: If you were like bored or went to the bathroom
Speaker 2: and they can see who scenes they went, there is
Speaker 2: a way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you can do focus groups, but
Speaker 1: it's not as easy as like on social media.
Speaker 2: It is very clear, so easy now.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm noticing a difference. I'm noticing I'm seeing
Speaker 1: a little bit more like sexy. Yeah, it's a little more.
Speaker 2: Booby the generals. The lighting feels a little darker.
Speaker 1: A little darker, and it's a little more like, like
Speaker 1: I said, the boys with the shirts off walk and talk.
Speaker 1: That's not we don't we've seen it, but we don't
Speaker 1: see it so much. And that just scene always seems
Speaker 1: ad lid, like they're just joking around.
Speaker 3: Let's start with the top. Okay, Brandon's explaining everything to us,
Speaker 3: which is great.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the makings, Brandon.
Speaker 3: We needed a little recap. I guess they didn't do recaps.
Speaker 3: Then they just needed him to voice over everything that happened,
Speaker 3: but it was good. And then we see Kelly is inside.
Speaker 3: Is this the first scene we go into the wallshouse?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think. Is this where you're redecorating?
Speaker 3: Yeah? She does not hear that, Like, first of all, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's all baby doll dresses for Kelly for a while,
Speaker 3: I think, until her baby bump goes away. But she's
Speaker 3: redecorating Brandon's room. Is that Brandon's room or is that
Speaker 3: the parents room?
Speaker 2: Help me, I guess it's the parents room. Wait it
Speaker 2: is now we've decided.
Speaker 3: I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I guess some fans told us it's the parents room.
Speaker 2: Oh really, I don't. It looks like Brandon's room. Okay, wait,
Speaker 2: if it's the parents room, so he was sleeping in
Speaker 2: that room before Kelly moved in, I guess so we
Speaker 2: were wrong.
Speaker 1: It just they all looked the same, the bedrooms all
Speaker 1: look the same, which they probably were.
Speaker 2: Because I was just like I kept betting nervous with you,
Speaker 2: like carrying drawers, deciding not to carry drawers.
Speaker 3: But it was so me though, like she's taking the
Speaker 3: drawers out and going through things.
Speaker 2: It's so like bad decor Sorry, I know I would
Speaker 2: not have handled it that way. It's not good, Like
Speaker 2: he's deals with you very well and kind. In this moment, I.
Speaker 3: Think I need to be married to Brandon now because
Speaker 3: my husband is not down with my constant need to
Speaker 3: redecorate things.
Speaker 2: Can I say this in the loveliest way, like I
Speaker 2: mean this with love. Kelly's got annoying right now? She is.
Speaker 2: She's like, it's like, why do you care that he's
Speaker 2: got photos? Who cares?
Speaker 3: She's cranky as if she's got a hormone influx. Wait
Speaker 3: what ha ha ha, No, she's she's just kind of
Speaker 3: or new differently, a little naggy, a little negative ish,
Speaker 3: But that's the one that comes in slinging. She comes
Speaker 3: into the room. I thought they are going to get
Speaker 3: along now, but it seems like Brandon my god to
Speaker 3: live with constant thank you.
Speaker 2: It's like the whole thing was at the end of
Speaker 2: last season. She's supposed to be nice and she's not.
Speaker 2: What was already starting in It's just like Kelly has
Speaker 2: Donna and we don't need two nice friends. Your batty
Speaker 2: Crocker line was funny. It wasn't like super hard.
Speaker 4: It was fun.
Speaker 2: It was funny, but she's not nice.
Speaker 3: It's also true, like what the dig cord.
Speaker 2: First of all, none of you have jobs. Can we
Speaker 2: talk about it now now? One of you was stressing
Speaker 2: me out more than anything. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: now it feels like real life.
Speaker 3: And I know it was very stressful because it's probably
Speaker 3: really hard to get a job out of college. I
Speaker 3: know it is, right, but it must have been a
Speaker 3: lot harder than because you didn't have the world at
Speaker 3: your fingertips to apply to different things, you know, and
Speaker 3: find out about different opportunities.
Speaker 2: So much easier now there's no apps. I mean, back then,
Speaker 2: circling in the newspaper, what do you do?
Speaker 1: No, I think it's harder now there's so much real
Speaker 1: musician I think at the time, like the economy I
Speaker 1: think was good.
Speaker 2: What was this the nineties? I don't know what the
Speaker 2: economy was doing what I want.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was good.
Speaker 2: But it's just like, why do they not have jobs?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like everybody want to work at Xerox. That's
Speaker 1: what everybody graduating did. They went and worked at Xerox
Speaker 1: or Anderson Consulting.
Speaker 3: But they're all looking for jobs. Everybody, you know, Vow's
Speaker 3: trying to find a job. Not working out for her.
Speaker 2: But how does Brandon not have a job.
Speaker 1: That's sort of my flag is like Brandon would have
Speaker 1: graduated without a job, right or like a plan, right,
Speaker 1: Brandon would have had a.
Speaker 2: Job because you've distracted him. Look what you've done, Susie
Speaker 2: homemakers meet it. He can't even focus anymore. Even he
Speaker 2: they've been focused with Tracy. He would have been focused
Speaker 2: with Susan.
Speaker 3: All the girlfriends for him to keep pictures of in
Speaker 3: his drawers. It's like Tracy all just Tracy? Was she
Speaker 3: that significant? In the mid Right?
Speaker 2: Where's Susan? Where's Susan?
Speaker 3: Where's Emily Valentine? I feel like if I scan it.
Speaker 2: To him and every time he's like, oh, here's another one.
Speaker 2: So he just kept putting it in one place because
Speaker 2: he's not organized, but semini organized. It's just all stayed
Speaker 2: in one place. I don't think like he looks at it.
Speaker 2: Here's why we're about to bump into her. I'm just
Speaker 2: upset that he tells you that he's throwing them out.
Speaker 2: Throwing them out seems yucky. Also, that made me feel
Speaker 2: bad because I feel like it's one thing to when
Speaker 2: Kelly's like, I put my past, I boxed him up
Speaker 2: in the past. Yeah, everyone does that we have a history,
Speaker 2: put it away, and then you throw them. I feel
Speaker 2: so bad. He's like I'm burning it all down, like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it all out. I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: wait ah, so we all know why they're gonna bump
Speaker 2: into each other.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I forgot about that. I forgot she
Speaker 2: was coming back.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, and they say her name on the opening
Speaker 1: credits as a special guest star or whatever.
Speaker 3: Fine, wait does he run into her in Hawaii? I think,
Speaker 3: oh my god, Yeah.
Speaker 2: She's pretty the gal.
Speaker 1: But Kelly's being annoying. He's they're all annoying, Like he
Speaker 1: should just say, I'm sorry that was there.
Speaker 2: Let me put it in a box and shove it
Speaker 2: in the attic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, big deal.
Speaker 2: There's an attic. No, I don't know the basement whatever,
Speaker 2: But I wonder, wait, and Cossa Walsh, is there an
Speaker 2: attic or a basement? No, there's no basements in California.
Speaker 2: You shove in the garage, I don't. I have like
Speaker 2: a weird act. No attic either.
Speaker 1: You shove boxes like that in the garage. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Jenny Kelly, do you kind of be annoying.
Speaker 2: Donna's doing the deed on the on the like he
Speaker 2: lives there all summer long.
Speaker 3: They're just like rabbits, right, we don't know this, but
Speaker 3: is it now that you have to have you have
Speaker 3: to get a roommate just to be able to pay
Speaker 3: the rent?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 3: Is that what's happening because dad's giving you an allowance.
Speaker 2: I love the scene.
Speaker 1: There's nothing I love more than Donna getting her allowance
Speaker 1: from her sweet dad. And the whole thing is so sweet,
Speaker 1: and that actually was very realistic. I'm like, the whole
Speaker 1: thing was like I get it.
Speaker 3: Dads don't just stop like giving you money, hopefully if
Speaker 3: they're in the position to when you graduate from.
Speaker 2: College, especially like doctor Martin his my dad always did that,
Speaker 2: like it was not my mom thing. Like my dad
Speaker 2: when I was little would hand me the allowance I
Speaker 2: would ask to work for, hand me a twenty here
Speaker 2: and there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they make it like it's some big deal that
Speaker 2: she doesn't tell her mom. Why would she tell her mom?
Speaker 2: I mean, if you have a great relationship with your mom, cool,
Speaker 2: But if it's like a bone of contention and it's
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, supposed to wait till marriage, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be telling my mom either exactly. And David insisting is
Speaker 2: so weird.
Speaker 3: I'm like, why, No, he's insisting that she Donna tells
Speaker 3: him that he's living with her.
Speaker 1: But I think the issue is he wants her to
Speaker 1: say they're living together, like insane that.
Speaker 2: I liked that Kelly said it was her birth control pills.
Speaker 3: Naturally, that's what That's what a friend would do. But
Speaker 3: why is Felice in drug store of all the drug.
Speaker 1: Stores because she had to go out of town or
Speaker 1: something because the doctor called in the wrong prescription to
Speaker 1: the wrong place and da da, they had some lame reason.
Speaker 2: They made up. Yeah, yeah, which they wrote better than
Speaker 2: the opening.
Speaker 3: That was better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed it was a little bit more realistic.
Speaker 1: But also, I don't know that a pharmacist is going
Speaker 1: to just suddenly start explaining things with like a random
Speaker 1: lady there. I feel like pharmacists keep it kind of private, like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to come over to the console area.
Speaker 2: Well nowadays, I mean, this wasn't like CVS. It was
Speaker 2: like a family pharmacy. He was old school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing his job, and then we see Valerie
Speaker 3: spraying cheap perfume on people, which is fun. But what's
Speaker 3: the big deal. She's got a job.
Speaker 2: At least she's.
Speaker 3: Working, right, Is that below her? She thinks that's below her.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Probably growing up walking to those people that would spray
Speaker 2: perfume on you, my mom would freak out at that.
Speaker 3: I would too.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, don't spray that on me.
Speaker 3: I don't. I might not like it if I'm allergic
Speaker 3: to it. I'm like, Mom, that reaction is so excessive.
Speaker 2: She's like, I just don't like sense.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I thought Joey Tribbiani had that job
Speaker 1: for some reason. I thought on Friends or some other show,
Speaker 1: I see somebody going aramis, aramis.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they don't do it anymore, thank goodness.
Speaker 2: It is aggressive and you don't know people's allergies.
Speaker 3: Like, just spray it on them, now you They just ask,
Speaker 3: Now they ask, would you like I thought they hand
Speaker 3: you a strip.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, you do a strip, they spray it on that,
Speaker 2: then they give you the coffee beans. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I felt like Kelly saying that that dig to
Speaker 3: her was exactly something that Jackie would say it was,
Speaker 3: but like an Old Housewives kind of line totally good.
Speaker 3: But I guess they're not done hating each other.
Speaker 2: No, that was boring.
Speaker 3: I'm so bored with it.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's it's going to get next level
Speaker 2: fun soon you do. I'm not sure. It just it's
Speaker 2: next level sort of twisty tourney. You know what it gets,
Speaker 2: it gets next level.
Speaker 3: In this episode, it gets next level dumb because Donna
Speaker 3: gets a job in Hawaii and then she's like, come
Speaker 3: with me, David, I'll switch my ticket. Well, I guess
Speaker 3: she's getting a first class ticket as a new assistant.
Speaker 2: Okay, zero.
Speaker 3: Then she says, I'll twist it. I'll turn it in
Speaker 3: for two coach tickets, and then he says, completely out
Speaker 3: of character, why don't we all go to.
Speaker 2: Can I ask a question about the lady you're interview
Speaker 2: going on. That's how it works on TV shows, you guys.
Speaker 2: I guess I need to know about the lady you're
Speaker 2: interviewing with, Like, all of a sudden, was she sick?
Speaker 2: Does she have? What happened? Is she having like ibs?
Speaker 3: Let's have something bad is happening?
Speaker 2: She got a one day viral, like you got to
Speaker 2: get to the bathroom. That's all I know maybe she
Speaker 2: had the og covid a hot flash.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was either a hot flash or
Speaker 3: she's about to her pants.
Speaker 2: For sure it was his stomach flu.
Speaker 3: Oh bad. She's at that weird restaurant, y'all were She
Speaker 3: seems pretty high maintenance. I'm a little worried about Donna's
Speaker 3: job with her and you shouldn't be nutty, but also
Speaker 3: pretty well written, because you know, there are a lot
Speaker 3: of nutty, totally people in this business. So that was
Speaker 3: pretty It did make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could totally see myself being like, you have
Speaker 2: the job at diarrhea Duct, You're gonna handle everything. Bye.
Speaker 3: Uh Yeah, it's exciting. I'm excited that Donna has this job.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going to happen, but she gets
Speaker 3: to go Hawaii.
Speaker 2: No assistant is getting a first class ticket.
Speaker 3: Never.
Speaker 2: Never, We're like, can you drive? Like can you.
Speaker 1: Can?
Speaker 3: You just get yourself there and then I'll pay for
Speaker 3: your meals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll give you forty dollars per getting per diem.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you are.
Speaker 3: Probably. I guess it's a big budget thing because of
Speaker 3: the guy. Who's the guy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, some fancy guy. Should Brandon have gone No, I
Speaker 2: kind of agree.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just I guess he's going with his friends.
Speaker 3: But it feels really weird that everybody's going to Hawaii
Speaker 3: and Kelly's not, and everybody's.
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, bye. It happens so fast trip and you're
Speaker 2: not coming, but who cares by Like, no discussions. It
Speaker 2: happened so fast, so it gave us time to not
Speaker 2: really focus on that. But if you really think about it,
Speaker 2: on that five and a half hour flight, I'd rebummed, like,
Speaker 2: she's not coming.
Speaker 3: Also, none of them have jobs. How are they affording?
Speaker 3: Just let's go to Hawaii on a whim Buffets, baby Buffets.
Speaker 3: I guess they're from Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2: We were in the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel.
Speaker 3: Will know, Lulu, Okay, are you so excited to go
Speaker 3: to Hawaii? On the show, You're so excited.
Speaker 2: I have some fun stories for your guest. I bet if.
Speaker 3: I'd been there, I would know the fun stories, but
Speaker 3: I don't, so I'm excited to hear them. I guess
Speaker 3: I was just I think this was like a month
Speaker 3: after I had the baby. It was time to go
Speaker 3: back to work. Is that normal maternity leave timing? I
Speaker 3: don't think so. One month of time off when you
Speaker 3: have a baby.
Speaker 2: I was somewhere. I was quite literally in a hotel.
Speaker 2: But was I already there or somewhere else when I
Speaker 2: got the call from Tiffany that you had just had
Speaker 2: the baby?
Speaker 3: Where were you? Were you in Hawaii? I did you stay? You?
Speaker 3: How are you? You don't want to come home?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: She knows me so well.
Speaker 2: So probably I was like, I'm gonna take one little
Speaker 2: personal trip with like my brother and friends before we
Speaker 2: so film, and I probably overstayed and then had to
Speaker 2: go right to Hawaii.
Speaker 3: Probably, yeah, yeah, Where was I though? But yeah, I know,
Speaker 3: I just remember. It was just one month of like
Speaker 3: your life changing one hundred percent, when you're just this
Speaker 3: is your first baby, and you know it's crazy, and
Speaker 3: then you have to go back to being on set
Speaker 3: at six am. Oh my gosh, it's a baby on
Speaker 3: your boot.
Speaker 2: Oh wait when we when we come back, will you
Speaker 2: tell the story about because Luca was not expected that
Speaker 2: day and Peter was working.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me,
Speaker 3: Is said, Okay, said that, yes, okay, it's fine. He
Speaker 3: was away when he didn't make it back.
Speaker 2: But he tried, which is why Tiffany was there.
Speaker 3: Was Tiffany there for the yes one?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she was there. She was there like
Speaker 2: they're there, yes because I got the call from her,
Speaker 2: and then I felt so guilty that I wasn't in
Speaker 2: town and it's like Peter didn't make it back.
Speaker 3: No what Yeah, I have my mom and dad both there,
Speaker 3: so I was good. Well, I don't know where we
Speaker 3: go from this. I guess everybody just leaves rat it.
Speaker 3: It's hard to rate at half of an episode.
Speaker 2: It really is, because one's going to get good right now.
Speaker 2: We're just you know, finding out to lay in the pipe.
Speaker 2: We're just like laying the pipe. I hate that term.
Speaker 3: Sounds like poop, right, It's gross. What is laying the pipe.
Speaker 2: Mean taking a poop?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, yes, no in your demented brain maybe, but in
Speaker 3: the world means like you have to lay the pipe,
Speaker 3: the foundation, prepping things, doing the groundwork. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm going to give this two ratings. Writing
Speaker 2: a five show an.
Speaker 1: Eight okay, wow, because I think everybody was trying their
Speaker 1: best with a bad script.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: We'll get used to that.
Speaker 2: And laying the pipe also mean a poop reference.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, are you asking, Siri?
Speaker 2: Yes, Reddit tells me some people refer to pooping as
Speaker 2: the laying pipe. I'm gonna drop the turd, Okay, go on, Okay,
Speaker 2: what's your reading?
Speaker 3: I feel I'm pretty in a line with the five
Speaker 3: on the on the writing, and.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna start splitting up numbers now, you guys,
Speaker 2: why not I feel like working ourselves? Then?
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, then I'm gonna have to give it a six.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't feel like the feelings I wanted
Speaker 3: to feel coming back from in real life being a
Speaker 3: super fan of the show, waiting and waiting and waiting
Speaker 3: for the episode to come out all summer.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be like Flavor Flave, like guest hosting on

Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not gonna bother anybody. They're gonna be
Speaker 2: in it with us.
