Speaker 1: we do with nine, O two and O MG in
Speaker 1: the new year? Um? What would you like to see
Speaker 1: from the podcast? I think, I well, I love her
Speaker 1: as it is, but if I if my career, I
Speaker 1: think one of my Christmas wish, I'd love to see
Speaker 1: some of the bigger name asked members come on as
Speaker 1: guests and kind of talk about us two Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's because it's really it's so it's it's such an
Speaker 1: iconic show and and and and I've ben in my
Speaker 1: adult years, I've I've rewatched it. I want to say
Speaker 1: one or two times, um, just because I think I
Speaker 1: was pregnant around aternity leave. I can't remember the last
Speaker 1: time I did that, but it had come on I'm
Speaker 1: like pop or soap net so one of those networks,
Speaker 1: and I got sucked in again and I started dvring
Speaker 1: and and even my husband was like Thistle Show like
Speaker 1: two years old, and I'm like, guess that it's so
Speaker 1: good still um um, But but I think it's fun
Speaker 1: to kind of go back, and it's it's fun to
Speaker 1: hear your perspective from from from so many different parts
Speaker 1: of it, from making it and or being or seeing
Speaker 1: the characters again for after so many years. But I'd
Speaker 1: love to know, um, you know, get some perspective from
Speaker 1: from some of those other past members. I think would
Speaker 1: be super fun. Well we'll put it out there. You
Speaker 1: put it out there, We'll put it out there and
Speaker 1: it will happen. I feel it. Okay, Yes, that would
Speaker 1: be great. How do you feel about Jen likes organization
Speaker 1: and she likes an order, So Amy and I are
Speaker 1: kind of all over the place and we're just like
Speaker 1: you get excited, like can we go? Do you like
Speaker 1: it in order or just like passion statements? I'm the
Speaker 1: witness here. Sorry, No, that's okay. I like I think
Speaker 1: I like it more in an orderly in order we
Speaker 1: passion I think with a with a few passion statements.
Speaker 1: Um thrown in is kind of like that's just the
Speaker 1: way that my mind works too, um, and that that's
Speaker 1: that's the way I operated my average. So I think
Speaker 1: I prefer it that way and I love it, and
Speaker 1: I like how Jenny is like, okay, well let's go
Speaker 1: back to this because we were jumping in too far.
Speaker 1: And let's just back it up. And I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: let's back it up, because there's a lot of thing
Speaker 1: you know, so so I think my mind kind of
Speaker 1: looks like that too. That's just one. That's one girl's opinion.
Speaker 1: Everyone's different. They love to jump right to the meat
Speaker 1: of the episode, right to the middle. Excited. When I
Speaker 1: think about really iconic couples of you know, the two thousands,
Speaker 1: you kind of think of Carrie and Big and and
Speaker 1: and um Ross and Rachel and and the third one, Mom,
Speaker 1: this is Donna and David. But for some reason, Kelly
Speaker 1: and Dylan or Brenda and Dylan don't really pop onto
Speaker 1: my list. And I'm wondering, do you ever think about
Speaker 1: do you ever think about, like what would who? What
Speaker 1: are some other couples that might compare to the three
Speaker 1: that I just that I just listened of that time frame.
Speaker 1: But I don't think Kelly and Dylan or Brenda and Dylan,
Speaker 1: we're a couple long enough to resonate as a couple,
Speaker 1: like there was always breakups and all the things that
Speaker 1: went and then they all went their different ways, all
Speaker 1: the characters in their different ways. Um, but I feel
Speaker 1: like you're asking us you know, what's that Brandon Kelly?
Speaker 1: I think Brandon and Kelly. Yeah, see in my mind though,
Speaker 1: so I'm interrupting my mind. I thought of Brenda and
Speaker 1: Dylan as like such an iconic couple, and then watching
Speaker 1: it back now, all these years later, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: they were together such a short time, but it back
Speaker 1: then it just felt like huge because they blew up
Speaker 1: so much. I guess, yeah, so times so timing that
Speaker 1: that that that's a good answer. But even though I
Speaker 1: hope but other shows you mean, but yeah, well my
Speaker 1: question was twofold. It was that, And then you know
Speaker 1: who in your mind, who are some of the other
Speaker 1: kind of iconic characters that kind of are at that
Speaker 1: Carrie and Big Ross and Rachel Donn at David level?
Speaker 1: Can any can you? Can you think of any? I know,
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of the first thing that came to
Speaker 1: my mind was from Cheers with Sam and uh what's
Speaker 1: her name? Dan? Diane? H good one? Okay, okay, uh,
Speaker 1: I got nothing okay. And then another one of my
Speaker 1: super big, big burning questions when Kathleen Robertson, is that
Speaker 1: did I say your last same right? Was? Is it
Speaker 1: Robinson Player's character when she went the show, none of
Speaker 1: the other characters kind of like addressed it in the storyline.
Speaker 1: It was like, Okay, she's on the beach with Steve
Speaker 1: and they're saying they're goodbyes, and then she walks off
Speaker 1: and no one talks about it again. I know, we
Speaker 1: haven't gotten there, and we haven't gotten there yet. Wait
Speaker 1: a second, I don't know what's happening. I know, and
Speaker 1: so I tho, but I know, I know. But okay,
Speaker 1: so it's not like what well that happened all the
Speaker 1: time on our show. Things would disappear and then not
Speaker 1: be talked about again. Yeah, maybe, but I felt like that,
Speaker 1: And even when I watched it back, I remember thinking
Speaker 1: that as my young self, being like, why didn't her
Speaker 1: roommates just even when they went to the graduation party
Speaker 1: and I know it's skipping so far ahead and Jinea
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but it was like, why didn't they say, oh,
Speaker 1: like Claire's left so sad or our roommate just moved out.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just like never to be talking.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was at all, well, we definitely
Speaker 1: want Kathleen, we want Kathleen on the show, and she
Speaker 1: was gonna come on the beach episode Beach House episode,
Speaker 1: but she was in Jamaica with her family, so we'll
Speaker 1: have to ask her how that went down because we
Speaker 1: don't remember. I know, I feel like it's out of sight,
Speaker 1: out of mind. Isn't that the expression? They really took
Speaker 1: that to the next level on our show all the time, yea,
Speaker 1: But there was so much story to tell that they
Speaker 1: had to move on. I guess yeah. And then my
Speaker 1: last one was um and Antonia Tony Machette's character, Rebecca.
Speaker 1: I wondered if there was any um what what were
Speaker 1: your feelings toward her when you were when you were
Speaker 1: filming and things, because you you guys talk a lot
Speaker 1: about how even though it's it's, you know, fictional versus reality,
Speaker 1: but there was you guys were young, and there was
Speaker 1: a little bit of like wordlines sometimes even when you
Speaker 1: weren't filming, about feelings towards other cast members, And so
Speaker 1: I wondered, what was your what were the feelings towards her?
Speaker 1: Because her character alternately stole the heart of doing so
Speaker 1: I wondered what was what was the feelings to herd
Speaker 1: on towards you know, during filming an onset and when
Speaker 1: she came on to the show. I always kind of
Speaker 1: wondered about that. Rebecca was really sweet. She was very
Speaker 1: easy to get along with, you know. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: remember us. I mean you could speak differently because obviously
Speaker 1: Kelly and Dylon, but I just Rebecca Gayard was so
Speaker 1: like we became instant friends, and she was friends with everybody. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I thought, if I'm being honest though, like I
Speaker 1: would say, from Kelly slash Jenny's perspective, I probably did
Speaker 1: experience feelings of jealousy or like, don't you know, totally
Speaker 1: normal and I didn't really like it that that happened,
Speaker 1: But it happened with Kelly too, So yeah, I can't
Speaker 1: you know, you can't can't be like both ways, right right?
Speaker 1: And I and from a viewer, I thought that for
Speaker 1: her and for the best match of any of them,
Speaker 1: and that he I was horrified when when when she
Speaker 1: went off the show and the way she died, and
Speaker 1: I remember feeling just like, oh my god, I was
Speaker 1: so sad the way that that happened. Um, And I said,
Speaker 1: but I always kind of wondered about, you know, what
Speaker 1: were the feelings toward her during and things like that.
Speaker 1: Just because there is. It is part of you guys
Speaker 1: have talked about in the past. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask that I remember. I don't. I don't remember their
Speaker 1: storyline now, but I'll be so excited to watch it back.
Speaker 1: But um, what season is that even? I think, I
Speaker 1: want to say five or six? I want to say six.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember exactly this season. Um, I
Speaker 1: want to say like five or six. I remember filming
Speaker 1: a scene on a bluff, like a wedding scene. Is
Speaker 1: that right to that's their wedding? Okay, I can see
Speaker 1: that in my it was really cold, it would be,
Speaker 1: but I remember thinking, this is so beautiful. I wish
Speaker 1: that was Kelly. I wish that was my character sad.
Speaker 1: But also what we're talking about seasons, I wanted to
Speaker 1: to ask, where when did you guys think that the
Speaker 1: show was in its prime? For me, it was like
Speaker 1: around that time, around seasons five and six, when Jamie
Speaker 1: Walters was on the show. There was just so many
Speaker 1: good things happening and so many of the storylines. I
Speaker 1: wondered when you guys thought the show was like and
Speaker 1: it's true prime. Oh my gosh, that's impossible for me
Speaker 1: to answer because I don't remember, like I haven't seen
Speaker 1: them yet, so I once I watched it all back,
Speaker 1: I'll be able to really answer that better. But for now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say season one because it was just
Speaker 1: so fun to get to know everybody and and see
Speaker 1: them all and learn about them. Yeah. I definitely always
Speaker 1: say the college years, just because I remember so much
Speaker 1: fondness of those scenes and so far. You know, we're
Speaker 1: rewatching season four and I'm like, m was I wrong?
Speaker 1: But I think you're right. It's one season five hits
Speaker 1: that I really got excited about stuff. I can't wait
Speaker 1: something to look forward to. Agan, Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for helping us with our nine O two Over to
Speaker 1: You episode. Happy to Okay, care, okay, okay, okay, Now
Speaker 1: we go to call her number two. Tanya is our
Speaker 1: next yes on the nine O two one over to You? Okay,
Speaker 1: I just like saying it. I'm gonna you say it. Well, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you our glasses on? Are you you can
Speaker 1: keep them on? It's just okay? Thank you? Where are

Speaker 1: I live in Newport Beach, California. I'm in Orange County.
Speaker 1: So not too far phone you guys. No, and um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have two kids and and yeah, I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: at home. My in laws are going to pick up
Speaker 1: my kids from school at three o'clock. And Harry, I know,
Speaker 1: be a part of our podcast. Thank you for being
Speaker 1: here today. Thank you. This is our over to you episode.
Speaker 1: So we're handing it over to you podcast. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: good luck. It's all on me. Okay, okay. Well. Um.
Speaker 1: The very first episode of Beverly Hills nanna to know
Speaker 1: that I saw was UM season one, episode eighteen. I
Speaker 1: only know this because I looked it up. UM. It
Speaker 1: aired on um Marche synopsis. It's only a test, it
Speaker 1: was called, and it was the one where Brenda does
Speaker 1: a self breast exam and she finds a lump. It
Speaker 1: was the first episode I'd ever seen, and it prompted
Speaker 1: me to do the same. I had never done a
Speaker 1: self breast exam before, and um, I think it was
Speaker 1: the very first time that made me spring into action
Speaker 1: without parental prompting. And so I did the same. And
Speaker 1: I actually did to find a lump. So threw my
Speaker 1: whole house into this tizzy, and my mother made an
Speaker 1: appointment with the doctor. I saw the doctor the next
Speaker 1: day and everything was fine. But I mean, apart from
Speaker 1: seeing a show with kids my age that looked like me,
Speaker 1: that we're going through the same types of things I
Speaker 1: was going through. I was nineteen at the time. Um,
Speaker 1: and then to have this, you know, this, this action
Speaker 1: that I took on my own accord because of something
Speaker 1: I saw on TV was just I mean, that's invaluable.
Speaker 1: And I know I wasn't the only one. I know
Speaker 1: that you guys have had many storylines where you've done
Speaker 1: that for other people. So for that, I thank you.
Speaker 1: I am lucky that it was nothing, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: distinctively remember that, you know, that moment when I saw
Speaker 1: that show, and well, we do hear that a lot.
Speaker 1: But it's it's interesting when you break it down like that,
Speaker 1: because watching this show back then was such a different
Speaker 1: experience for teenagers than they had ever had before that.
Speaker 1: You're right. It was seeing characters that they could really
Speaker 1: relate to and seeing them go through real life things,
Speaker 1: and that was what I think made such an impact
Speaker 1: on our audience. And now why still to this day
Speaker 1: there are fans of the show that are you carved
Speaker 1: out a place we carved out a place together, you know,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. Yeah, I know, I'm I know, I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one that experienced something like that. And then
Speaker 1: the other thing we're sharing that with us that it
Speaker 1: is nice to know, like all these years later, that
Speaker 1: it did have such an effect on people and really
Speaker 1: help people get through because it is it's like we're
Speaker 1: in way different decade now, obviously, but it's still like
Speaker 1: teens and young people and humans in general, we go
Speaker 1: through the same issues. Yeah, there's nothing that compares to
Speaker 1: that me too factor, you know, like, oh she does
Speaker 1: that as well, or they they're going through that. I
Speaker 1: totally relate. You know. It's like hearing a a song
Speaker 1: that's really meaningful, or reading something in a book that
Speaker 1: just like wow, I never could have put that into
Speaker 1: words or you know, quite like that. And so there's
Speaker 1: someone out there that it gets me, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: So that was really meaningful to me, and I mean
Speaker 1: I was hooked from from day one. It's like, wow,
Speaker 1: I had that experience. And then my sister at the time,
Speaker 1: who would have loved to have been here, leah, Um,
Speaker 1: she was seven, so she wasn't able to watch it
Speaker 1: at the time. My parents were living overseas. My sister
Speaker 1: and my parents were living overseas, and so I would
Speaker 1: record six or eight episodes, and you know, because back then,
Speaker 1: we had to wait a week until the next episode
Speaker 1: came on. So I would record six or eight UM
Speaker 1: episodes at a time and send them to her on
Speaker 1: a VHS tape. And I swear we started the ben
Speaker 1: Jing trend before it was a thing, because she would get,
Speaker 1: you know, a VCR tape and she'd sit there and
Speaker 1: watch episode after episode after episode after every So that's
Speaker 1: how she got up. I remember doing that. I remember
Speaker 1: that clunky VHS tape and you had to hit in,
Speaker 1: you had to push record, like it seems so archaic now, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what we used to do. Yeah, and the most binger. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great because I mean I recorded I recorded Dynasty,
Speaker 1: I recorded not Landing, all the spelling, you know, franchise. Um,
Speaker 1: I think I recorded Dallas, but definitely nine O two
Speaker 1: one out. And she loved it. Oh my gosh. So
Speaker 1: that was she was only seven then, well she was
Speaker 1: seven when I saw the first episode, and then it
Speaker 1: was a few years later when she was probably like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: middle school, high school, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a few years later when I started doing
Speaker 1: that for her, so, um, yeah, so she's a big
Speaker 1: band too. And then she remember when she bought the
Speaker 1: the ten year um the d d yes and she
Speaker 1: still has it. Yeah, and so we would remember that episodes.
Speaker 1: Let's watch it, you know, we have to find it,
Speaker 1: and we'd watch those. So that was fun. Later on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: makes tapes, you guys, Oh my gosh, yes, I know.
Speaker 1: So we grew up in the best time ever. I feel.
Speaker 1: I feel like playlists just aren't the same, Like because
Speaker 1: you had them, you have to decorate them and give
Speaker 1: them to someone, not just be like, yeah, here's my
Speaker 1: here's my Spotify list. Yeah, I know, right, I agree.
Speaker 1: I agree. Well, we're so grateful to meet you and
Speaker 1: get to talk to you and hear your stories. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh you're awesome. Thank you. Well I don't I did
Speaker 1: over you anytime, Tanya, A little crop, did a little crap,
Speaker 1: I did a little crep um. So I just have
Speaker 1: a couple of questions. You know, it's so hard. I
Speaker 1: know you guys have been asked everything under the sun. Um,
Speaker 1: but a couple of things, I mean kind of I
Speaker 1: guess going back to some things that you've talked to
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Um, you know, especially like Kelly's character
Speaker 1: between rape and disorder and eating disorder, excuse me, and
Speaker 1: almost getting sucked into a cult, and abuse and physical
Speaker 1: you know, physical abuse and all these different things that
Speaker 1: you as an actor went through, and of course tore
Speaker 1: your character had some very similar things that they put
Speaker 1: you through. I feel like that really messes with your
Speaker 1: psyche and future relationships. And I was just wondering what
Speaker 1: your advice would be two young actors on how to
Speaker 1: sort of deal with that. Like, you're a professional, you're
Speaker 1: an actor. You're getting into those scenarios and dealing with
Speaker 1: those things, but at the end of the day, when
Speaker 1: you go home, it's it's really you. How you know,
Speaker 1: what would you tell young today about how did how
Speaker 1: to deal with that? Um, you're right, it does have
Speaker 1: a pretty profound impact on your growth, your emotional growth. Um.
Speaker 1: Why do you think most actors this are a little google?
Speaker 1: It's true. Um, but I would have to say my
Speaker 1: advice would be two, really invest in yourself, like get
Speaker 1: to know who you really are as a person, getting
Speaker 1: therapy and really really really get to know yourself, so
Speaker 1: that then playing all these other things it can be
Speaker 1: a job for you and you can turn it off
Speaker 1: and go back to that person that you love so much,
Speaker 1: your best friend, yourself, and and have that safety of
Speaker 1: you know, real life versus non reality. That is good
Speaker 1: advice because think about it, like thirty years ago when
Speaker 1: we were doing this, nobody was telling us talked about
Speaker 1: mental health and you know, like just everything, like everyone's
Speaker 1: so aware now how to really be your own advocate
Speaker 1: that you can. And back then, I feel like I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Jim, but like I don't need
Speaker 1: if I'm thinking about, like wow, all the like storylines
Speaker 1: that we did have to deal with. I feel like
Speaker 1: we just went home and just pushed it down and
Speaker 1: like okay, go on, go back to Mark the next day,
Speaker 1: go home be you know, you would go home and
Speaker 1: to your boyfriend, a girlfriend or spouse at the time
Speaker 1: and still so young, and you would be altered, like
Speaker 1: you had had a really traumatic experience and they would
Speaker 1: be like how is his work? And what's for dinner?
Speaker 1: Like you couldn't relate to the person at home at
Speaker 1: all because we lived in such a bubble of this
Speaker 1: experience that we were going through. Yeah, yeah, interesting. The
Speaker 1: question that you, um, this is this is uh, this
Speaker 1: is a question for my sister. She wanted to know
Speaker 1: what were your favorite ways to promote the show. You
Speaker 1: guys did the mall tours, you did in person promotion,
Speaker 1: maybe you were, um interviewed for magazines. What was your
Speaker 1: favorite and why? And was it more comfortable being on
Speaker 1: your own or with fellow cast mates. You. First of all,
Speaker 1: you're the winner of over to you because you've asked
Speaker 1: two questions that we've never heard before. Really, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we are loving you. Yeah, okay, never leave us. Okay.
Speaker 1: Favorite way to promote the show, um, they would send
Speaker 1: I remember you didn't get to do this store because
Speaker 1: you didn't travel, but they would send us on touring appearances.
Speaker 1: I did one in Israel with a few other cast mates,
Speaker 1: and that was amazing because we got to have this
Speaker 1: incredible experience and get to know all these amazing fans
Speaker 1: from another country. Um. And then I did one on
Speaker 1: my own in Japan, which was one of the most
Speaker 1: memorable trips of my life, and um, it was incredible.
Speaker 1: So it was always fun to do it with a
Speaker 1: fellow cast made but at the same time when we
Speaker 1: when you got a chance to go and do something
Speaker 1: on your own, there was a whole another layer of like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is what this is me, this is you know,
Speaker 1: you got to think by yourself a little bit differently
Speaker 1: from just the cast part um with Jen's referring to
Speaker 1: so I would hear about like, oh, the cast members
Speaker 1: are all traveling, you know, to Europe, Israel, and like
Speaker 1: I was never invited, and I was so embarrassed. I
Speaker 1: was like, in my head, I was like, gosh, Donna
Speaker 1: must be the most most unpopular character on the show.
Speaker 1: And I was so terribly embarrassed to even bring it
Speaker 1: up that I never brought it up. And then years
Speaker 1: later when I said something, everyone was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: your dad. My dad didn't fly. He was terrified of
Speaker 1: travel and didn't want me traveling anywhere, so he would
Speaker 1: tell them, don't ever invite Tory to any of these trips.
Speaker 1: But it's like it messed with me because I didn't
Speaker 1: know that until like twenty years later when people are like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: your dad never allowed you to do those and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. I thought, like no one
Speaker 1: ever just wanted my fans didn't want to meet me,
Speaker 1: they hated me. I mean, I love my dad was
Speaker 1: trying to protect me, but I also like he didn't
Speaker 1: let me get to sleepaway camp either. Like, I'm bummed
Speaker 1: about certain things. You are sheltered. I was sheltered, but
Speaker 1: I wish I had gotten that experience with you, like,
Speaker 1: and we've been able to do it together. We've since traveled,
Speaker 1: we got to travel to Israel a few years to
Speaker 1: go together, but I wish back in the day I
Speaker 1: had gotten to do it all with everybody. So I'm
Speaker 1: like kind of sad about that. But yeah, do you
Speaker 1: have a fear of traveling yourself now or no? Not
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, he totally gave me his fear by
Speaker 1: trying not to give me his fear. He totally gave
Speaker 1: me a scared gosh the night mare to fly with.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Jen has to deal with me,
Speaker 1: and it's not pretty, not fun. But the goodness is
Speaker 1: I will only trust very few people to travel with,
Speaker 1: and Jenna is one of them. Oh lucky me, You're
Speaker 1: so lucky, You're blessed in this lifetime. So she's knuckling
Speaker 1: it and grabbing Yeah, yeah, and I get really bummed
Speaker 1: if she ever falls asleep. Another way that was really
Speaker 1: fun to promote the show that I was thinking of
Speaker 1: was doing talk shows like live talk shows and just
Speaker 1: meeting like Arsenio Hall and Chevy Peace and Jay Leno
Speaker 1: and all the people. We got to go and do
Speaker 1: interviews on those couches and Ellen and it was just
Speaker 1: really that was always fun and exciting. That's really fun.
Speaker 1: I did get to do those in so yeah, that's
Speaker 1: really cool. Kanya, you are a winner. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I love the show and I
Speaker 1: love the podcast, so keep it up. You give our
Speaker 1: love to your sister there. I will, I will for sure,
Speaker 1: she said, she it all right, take care of you guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you bye. She was great, amazing. Honestly, I never
Speaker 1: heard those questions before me neither. Next up on our
Speaker 1: nine o two one over to You episode, we have
Speaker 1: Yvonne Hi. How are you? My gosh, you guys look
Speaker 1: the same. You change, haven't changed at all. Thank you,
Speaker 1: You're very very love you. We are ready to hand
Speaker 1: it over to you. What what do you how do
Speaker 1: you want to go? Do you want to ask us questions?
Speaker 1: You want to recipe? What do you want to do? Well?
Speaker 1: I just want to know. I mean, m Um, first
Speaker 1: of all, I'm excited to talk to both of you.
Speaker 1: I mean I watched your show like crazy, every episode everything,
Speaker 1: and just a question, um, Eve, you had to go
Speaker 1: back to your eighteen year old self, what would you
Speaker 1: say to yourself now? You know things have changed, world
Speaker 1: has changed, everything has changed. So just wondering. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because we both have teenage daughters now, and
Speaker 1: so what we what's what we do say to them
Speaker 1: is probably what we would have said to ourselves if
Speaker 1: we could have. Uh that's something I've taught my daughter.
Speaker 1: Don't know about you, but like I try to teach
Speaker 1: Fiona that that the person inside of her is like
Speaker 1: her best friend, and speak to her kindly and treat her,
Speaker 1: give her advice that you would want her given. And
Speaker 1: I feel like for me, I would have just told
Speaker 1: myself that it's all going to be okay. I think
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time worrying about the future
Speaker 1: and not as much time living in the moment at
Speaker 1: that point in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's beautiful. Same.
Speaker 1: I feel like I now watched back that eighteen year
Speaker 1: old girl and I'm like, oh my gosh, like you
Speaker 1: were good enough, you were pretty enough, you were smart enough,
Speaker 1: you you Yeah, it was just the insecurity was so
Speaker 1: next level, and I always like feel weird saying next
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, you guys were famous, like boo hoo,
Speaker 1: but you know, we're still humans and eighteen year old
Speaker 1: girls going through a situation that it was different and
Speaker 1: um and then trying to you know, I mean working
Speaker 1: full time, but also you know, representing characters and you know,
Speaker 1: we had such a lot on our shoulders, like you know,
Speaker 1: those characters were really special to us, but they were
Speaker 1: really special to a lot of people, and it was
Speaker 1: an honor to play them. And we you know, when
Speaker 1: people say you're a role model and you're eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: you're like that was a lot of pressure because inside
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm Donna, I'm a role model,
Speaker 1: but I'm tor and I'm so insecure, like I don't
Speaker 1: know how I could be anything to anybody, and um, yeah,
Speaker 1: so kinder, kinder to myself and give myself a break,
Speaker 1: and might it be fun gen to be able to
Speaker 1: go back with the knowledge we have now and have
Speaker 1: like just one week in our eight year old self.
Speaker 1: That's why they make movies about that. That's because it's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny because looking at the show and you guys
Speaker 1: saying that now, um, you would have never noticed that
Speaker 1: you had any insecurity at all. I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: were I can't explain how everybody wanted address act like
Speaker 1: you guys. Um, everybody in the show was gorgeous, and
Speaker 1: you know, even now, I mean it's just it's hard.
Speaker 1: And I understand a lot of when you guys are
Speaker 1: in this industry because you are a public figure, you
Speaker 1: guys go through that. But you would never imagine something
Speaker 1: like that, you know, But I think it's true to
Speaker 1: like with just the person next to you on the
Speaker 1: train or the person in the groceries. Yeah, you never
Speaker 1: know what somebody's going through. And I think exactly a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, we're all learning unfortunately so much about being
Speaker 1: more kind or respectful to other people and other people's journeys,
Speaker 1: and you know, like thinking that when you meet somebody
Speaker 1: or when someone irritates you, you never know what is
Speaker 1: happening in their personal life or what's happening in their
Speaker 1: minds exactly. Yeah. Yeah, mental health now is a serious thing.
Speaker 1: Back in our day that was not even a saying
Speaker 1: you know, but but um, I mean, it's just you know,
Speaker 1: amazing to see you too. It's just you guys are
Speaker 1: just oh my gosh, I can't believe to be talking
Speaker 1: to you guys seriously, and I admire you both. Um,
Speaker 1: you guys are from what I've read and everything, you
Speaker 1: guys are great women and from what it looks like,
Speaker 1: wonderful moms. Um. You know, not every not every Um.
Speaker 1: It's a hard world to have to be a mom
Speaker 1: because you don't know at the end of the day
Speaker 1: when you're racing, when they get older and they you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I taught you this, but you're doing this, you know,
Speaker 1: and so it's kind of hard. The best we can, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can only teach them when they got to carve
Speaker 1: their own way. Thank you nice of you know, no,
Speaker 1: thank you for even talking to me. I'm I'm it's
Speaker 1: such an honor. I would have never imagined while I
Speaker 1: was watching the show to even be right now, right here,
Speaker 1: thirty years later. Yes, for some of us is a
Speaker 1: little bit more okay, Well we did we grow together, Yvan.

Speaker 1: This is our final caller for NATO and over to
Speaker 1: you episode we have with us a Molly who. I
Speaker 1: don't think this is our first time meeting. So we
Speaker 1: met you at the beach House recently. Yes, that was
Speaker 1: just so serendipitous and unreal. It was crazy because we
Speaker 1: were really our day was over, we were done. We
Speaker 1: had just gone out there to like get some fresh
Speaker 1: air before we left. I actually wanted to take a
Speaker 1: picture of you on the balcony because I loved your
Speaker 1: outfit that was behind it when we were like, hey,
Speaker 1: and then look up what they actually live here? You
Speaker 1: think when you when you looked up and saw us,
Speaker 1: You know, I had been following the podcast and I
Speaker 1: knew that you were going to be filming and recording
Speaker 1: an episode at the beach Club. UM so I was
Speaker 1: just like, wait, is this the actual day that they're doing? Like,
Speaker 1: how is this even possible that it's the same darns. See.
Speaker 1: I wish you hadn't known anything, so you just would
Speaker 1: have been like, hey, I'm taking picture in front of
Speaker 1: the beach apartment. Oh my god, Kelly and Donner here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I had no idea that that was good, right, No,
Speaker 1: pretty crazy though. Yes. I was just so amazed. And
Speaker 1: I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see you,
Speaker 1: and I was like, is that people who are renting
Speaker 1: the airbnb? And my girlfriend's like that's story and Jenny
Speaker 1: like that's them and I was like really, And then
Speaker 1: you came down and it was amazing. Where are you?
Speaker 1: Where are you a Molly? I'm at home. I'm at home.
Speaker 1: I've been I'm a realtor, so I work from home. Man,
Speaker 1: what state were nap up? Oh? Very nice? You didn't
Speaker 1: tell us that that day that you live in Heaven?
Speaker 1: We might have yeah, yes, why did an invite? We
Speaker 1: want to come visit your Oh? Welcome. I have like
Speaker 1: a little airbnb and you can stay there. Really perfect? Okay? Done?
Speaker 1: You heard here first? Coming on? Are are over to you. Episode.
Speaker 1: We want to turn it over to you. We want
Speaker 1: you to ask us what you want to ask us,
Speaker 1: or talk about whatever you want to talk about. M m. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I have been watching the show since I
Speaker 1: think it was I was about two years behind because
Speaker 1: I was watching it in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 1: I kind of grew up the majority of my adolescence
Speaker 1: was there, and um so I was a little behind,
Speaker 1: but I already had known about the show and about
Speaker 1: the characters and everything like that teen magazine and all
Speaker 1: the little magazines that came out. Obviously Internet wasn't there,
Speaker 1: but my girlfriends who were in the US would talk
Speaker 1: about it, and so I kind of already knew about
Speaker 1: it and was so excited when it finally aired in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Of course, it was censored, so there
Speaker 1: was a lot of things that were like skipped over. Wow.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, lots of conversations that we were just like,
Speaker 1: you know, you cock your head and be like, what
Speaker 1: just happened there? Um, like, can you give some examples
Speaker 1: of what was what they I think the episode where
Speaker 1: Brenda and Dylan kind of consummate their relationship. Really we're
Speaker 1: talking about it and getting to that stage where it
Speaker 1: was episode. So the majority of that speech that the
Speaker 1: person came out and said, you know, what her experience
Speaker 1: was sexually and how she contracted aids, that was all
Speaker 1: kind of yeah. So there was so unfortunate because there
Speaker 1: there that we could have probably helped a lot of people,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and opened up a lot of conversations about
Speaker 1: uncomfortable subjects, yes, and educated them. I feel like with
Speaker 1: the censorship, there was a lot of ignorance as to
Speaker 1: what could happen and what is happening in the real world.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the show really brought up topics
Speaker 1: like that that you could discuss and um, and it
Speaker 1: was important for young teenagers who were active to actually
Speaker 1: hear um. So it was it was very unfortunate that
Speaker 1: that was censored. UM. But I got the opportunity to
Speaker 1: watch it in Sri Lanka during my summers, which is
Speaker 1: where I'm originally from, and so then I would piece
Speaker 1: the everything together what happened and that's what it meant. Now,
Speaker 1: It makes sense. Now, it makes sense. And I would
Speaker 1: watch this with my parents and my brother, and after
Speaker 1: every episode my parents would ask, so, what would you
Speaker 1: have done in that situation? Oh wow, I love that.
Speaker 1: And they would kind of take on the gym and
Speaker 1: Cindy Walsh uh personas and they were like, well, we
Speaker 1: think we actually agree with them, and they were so
Speaker 1: similar in character. So it just like Charley bring it Home. UM.
Speaker 1: And so I watched and I videotaped everything on VHS.
Speaker 1: And then I moved to Sharjah, which is also in
Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates and other emirate and um, we
Speaker 1: would get locked up from the outside an seven pm
Speaker 1: and so all I would do is watch these videotapes
Speaker 1: that I had smuggled into the dorm room and that's
Speaker 1: what I watched every single night with my girlfriends. UM.
Speaker 1: So I kind of memorized I think, majority of this show. UM.
Speaker 1: But it like it gave me a sense of comfort
Speaker 1: because I wasn't with my family and that was like
Speaker 1: a great way of just kind of feeling at home.
Speaker 1: And I transferred to the United States and went to
Speaker 1: school there. I had a lot of catching up to
Speaker 1: do because I missed out on three years. But um,
Speaker 1: I was flipping through the channels in the dorm room
Speaker 1: and I was so lonely because I knew nobody like
Speaker 1: cry in the stairwell and just be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone here, but I was flipping through the
Speaker 1: channels and there you guys were, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this comforting. Yes. So when I saw you guys on
Speaker 1: the balcony and come down from the beach apartment, my
Speaker 1: girlfriend asked me. She's like, are you just star struck?
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, it's not star struck. It's
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm meeting a pen pal, or like
Speaker 1: a sister that sisters that I have never met before,
Speaker 1: like half sisters that I've never met before, but we've
Speaker 1: had this relationship. And I followed you throughout not only
Speaker 1: O two and O, but um with your person and
Speaker 1: the person that you are as well. And on the
Speaker 1: podcast it's hilarious and I love listening to it. I
Speaker 1: missed out on starting the podcast when it did because
Speaker 1: I was homeschooling during COVID and that was my life.
Speaker 1: Now I'm kind of doing what Jenny does and reliving
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm going through every single episode from when
Speaker 1: you started, and so I'm catching up. It's been pretty amazing. Wow,
Speaker 1: what an interesting life you've lived. First of all, you
Speaker 1: you've been all over Yeah, it's been. It's been wonderful
Speaker 1: being able to travel. I was very blessed with that
Speaker 1: and my parents giving me that opportunity to do that,
Speaker 1: so it was nice. And then I like what you
Speaker 1: said about it's just like meeting even a half sister
Speaker 1: or something that you haven't seen in a while, because
Speaker 1: it's weird, because it almost feels that way from our
Speaker 1: perspective too, even though we weren't watching you guys, but
Speaker 1: we we felt yourself and we had this comfort of
Speaker 1: knowing that we were so loved and these characters are
Speaker 1: so loved by so many people that when we meet
Speaker 1: our fans, they feel like our friends. Yeah, it's definitely
Speaker 1: more personal and more intimate than like I imagine other celebrities,
Speaker 1: meaning yeah, it's yeah, we always want to hug and
Speaker 1: it's like we have that instant connection to them, so
Speaker 1: we feel it right back. M hm. I mean so much.
Speaker 1: It really does, because the whole show, your characters, you're acting,
Speaker 1: and everything that you're doing even today with your podcast,
Speaker 1: it really is very impactful and it means a lot.
Speaker 1: And um, people who know me know that first part
Speaker 1: of my personality and my growth has been based on
Speaker 1: a lot of just living by your side with the show,
Speaker 1: learning a lot, especially living in foreign countries. I learned
Speaker 1: so much from just watching the show, even just passing
Speaker 1: my sa t s. I knew so many words and
Speaker 1: vocabulary and things that popped up because of the show.
Speaker 1: So it was very bizarre, but um it was. It
Speaker 1: really has helped me. And it was a good show,
Speaker 1: like there was always something to learn, um and it
Speaker 1: evoked so much emotion with how you guys acted and
Speaker 1: portrayed the various characters, and it just kept on growing
Speaker 1: and I grew as a person with the show too,
Speaker 1: So gosh, thank you. Yeah that where you are, we'll
Speaker 1: always remember you from that day on the beach, for sure, Myles.
Speaker 1: I didn't think my smile could get any bigger from
Speaker 1: every single location, and I did a little video clip
Speaker 1: too with you know, us turning around and like kind
Speaker 1: of a play on the initial um and everything like that.
Speaker 1: But once I saw you, I feel like my my
Speaker 1: smile just couldn't get any bigger. Happy, my heart was
Speaker 1: so full. You're so dear, Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being such a devoted fan all these years. We saw
Speaker 1: the video and it brought to your star eyes. We
Speaker 1: really we loved seeing them. My husband will see me.
Speaker 1: I mean until this day. I'm still watching reruns on
Speaker 1: Pluto and my DVDs. I have all set seasons. Um,
Speaker 1: but my kids also know the characters and they'll they'll
Speaker 1: watch see me like rolled coraled up on the couch

Speaker 1: watching next time. Okay, thank you so much, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Absolutely, we love you. Wow.

Speaker 1: meet some really great people. Yeah, really great. I like
Speaker 1: it when they take over the show. Yeah, I mean too,
