Oh it's so relaxing. 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.640 We missed the kids, of course, but it was a 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.839 much needed parent only vacation. Right. We were discussing, like, 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.920 is it a baby moon when it's here? Well, we 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.480 would typically say second, but it's your third but your 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.880 second birth. Yes exactly, so yeah it was a baby moon.

This 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.200 is cool though, because Tory, you're kind of the star 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.119 student in this episode, so it really matches up. I 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.600 was just living living up to my image, like imitating art. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.440 So let's get into it. Let's do it. She's ready 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.400 to go, you guys, Let's talk about this week's episode. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:03.200 Episode ten of season two, Necessity Is a Mother, aired 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:10.120 on September n Synopsis. Dylan's long es strange mother, Iris 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.400 comes for a visit from Hawaii, which soon lands him 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.440 in trouble at a local billiards club. Meanwhile, Steven Donna 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.359 decided to play the stock markets. Yeah Baby. Directed by 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.440 Jefferson Kiddie, written by Darren Starrs, Steve Wasserman, and Jessica 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:32.079 Klein and starring us and starring Us Yes, this episode 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:37.200 was a lot all about Dylan and his mama. Enter 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.680 the fabulous Stephanie Beacham, Iris McKay. Who guess what you 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.080 guys we have on our show today. That's right, we'll 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.560 get to that a little bit later, but we're interviewing 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.880 her and we have some very fond memories and it'll 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.079 be great to catch up. So let's dive right into 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:02.040 the beginning of the episode, shall we we? Shall um? Okay, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.520 right out of the gate, Dylan looks just amazing in 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.119 the pool hall. He is everything he needs to be. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.240 That that is just him at his prime. I feel 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:22.240 like he looks beautiful. He just right right away. Guys 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.120 like it. It made me think of that old movie 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:31.920 cool Hand Luke get it? And now he does look great. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.280 Do you remember if it was he a good pool player? 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.160 I mean he Dylan was he? They certainly made it 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.960 look like he was a good pool player. I don't 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.720 know if that was real. It looked real, it did. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.120 It made it look like a good surfer too, which 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.640 he was not. He was not. But I'll tell you 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.720 what he's not good at. He's not good at driving. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.680 Um he's driving that. There's a scene where he's driving 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.160 Brenda home from wherever and he rips into the driveway 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.600 like a bad out of hell? That's isn't that the 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.120 expression of bad out of hell? And he is, uh, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.200 he's not a very good drive for he like drives 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.520 over the curb and slams on the brakes. Maybe he 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.480 was mad, maybe he was already drunk. I don't know, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.320 something's going on. Yeah, maybe that that's just how you 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:17.840 gotta If you have a car like that, you just 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.520 gotta drive it like that. Maybe that's the thing. That's 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.320 how bad boys drive cars like that, anti cars like that. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:30.080 M hmm. Brenda's ties back, I was very happy. I've 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.320 gotten to passion. I don't care for that look. I 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.440 know that you guys like it happy, I'm not my favorite. Well, yeah, 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.599 Brenda's tires back. It was a different tie look, like 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:45.200 this would be her second tie ensemble. Yeah, that's right, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.400 it's back. I wonder how many different ties we're going 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.919 to see. How popular was that look in the nineties, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.960 Like is that where women wearing that to work? And 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.360 that was like the style. I found a picture of 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.400 myself on a talk show where I was in a 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.720 white tied shirt, button down shirt, a tie and suspenders 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.160 and pants. So I was taking one out of Shamon's book. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.480 Maybe what color was your tie red or something? I 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.680 matched my lip to it. You know, it's very Paula Abdul, right, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.080 didn't she wear that book a lot. I'm going on record, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.520 I'm not a fan of that, and I know this 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.920 one loves Annie Hall and now she wants to go 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.760 to that look at some point in her life and 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.360 she's not doing it. I don't want to be Annie Hall. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:34.960 I want to be just tying. Can't Keaton. I want 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:42.359 to be It's it's like smart lady, look, mhm is, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.159 don't mess with me. Look I like it. Well, we 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.960 were pulling into the driveway with Brenda, so his mom 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.040 is there. He it's unexpected. She's there from Hawaii. Um, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.320 which we'll get to this later, but Stephanie Beacham tells 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.279 us they made her from Hawaii because she had the 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:04.719 worst American accent ever. Yes, you can, you can tell. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.960 I was like, what is the accent? Is that American 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.960 or is that British? But I feel like it was 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.480 British kind of trying to be American but it didn't 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.839 really go over so well. So they made her from Hawaii, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.640 which makes absolutely no sense. It was Madonna. It was 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.520 very very on trend at that point. I enjoyed it. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.200 She was beautiful. I loved her hippie look, her whole 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.800 like easy going vibes and departure for her as an actress, 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.000 because coming from you know, other shows that she had done, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.080 Dynasty and everything, she's always so glammed up and like 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.760 made up. This was just really natural and pretty, Stephanie, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.240 did you like that ty die? Like that silk? I 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.560 feel like we would wear that nowadays, Like it wasn't nineties, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.479 but it was like it would be in now Like 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.880 that tide kind of tied up shirt with the matching skirt. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.560 I loved it. Does she looked comfy, Let's bring that back. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:03.560 Did you like her little braids? Two little braids to 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.520 really set the mood that she's out there. Yeah, that 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.400 was like a note. I bet that note came from 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.000 my dad, who was very invested in hair and makeup. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.800 Oddly enough um and war Jobe, but it was very like, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.600 I want their hair this way, And he always had 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.320 to see polaroids were in back then, UM, and he 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.320 would always bring them home in his briefcase. But I 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.440 bet that was a note like let's do something hippie esque. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:35.600 Mm hmm. So Iris was also really into astrology, which 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:42.160 I know you love. I loved that. Um. Yeah, I 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.600 like I like her whole vibe, but I feel like 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.000 she's she's super super cool. She comments that Dylan is 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:58.320 a Libra and that Brenda is a Scorpio, which isn't 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:04.840 a great match. But Luke actually was a Libra. I 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.400 are so that's in October eleven, so it's interesting that 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.360 they wrote that in the Dylan was a Libra as well. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.160 But Shannon's actually an aries like you my best friend, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:22.200 although you guys are very different, um in good ways. Uh, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.440 And that's interesting. They made her scorpio, which would be November. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:33.440 What is Kelly? That would be a question for I 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.760 don't know. Darren texts big fan, super duper fan with that, 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.400 not just a super fan, because I do believe in 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:51.040 astrology and um. Scorpios can be challenging and um and 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.120 Libras are kind of usually peacemakers. They usually don't have 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.319 tempers like Dylan McKay, but I don't think they go together. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.120 By be curious to know what Helly is because I 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.920 wonder if that's a better match. No spoilers, You're a 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:10.920 sa Donna was a Sage or Capricorn. Christmas Christmas Day 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:17.000 would be cap Capricorns or I don't know. Decemb I 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:22.559 want to say, Sagittarius, does that feel Undonna? It worked 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.760 for the storyline one episode. I guess Iris does make 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:31.280 a comment though about um Brenda having really negative aura. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.240 Did you guys hear that? I did? And I feel like, uh, 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.960 maybe I hate Brenda fan club was born right then 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.480 and there people were like, well, I mean, you can't 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.320 argue with it because she's so over the top with 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.520 Dylan and Iris in this episode, like she's on him 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.760 all the time and pretty rude to his mom. I mean, 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.720 I was like, why is she being so rude to 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.920 his mom? And I guess it was just based on 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.240 you know, Dylan sharing his experiences with her and talking 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.840 to her about it privately, but like she didn't have 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.760 any level of respect for her for his mom, which 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.560 I thought was a little weird. That's a little um 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:20.920 dare I say it? Um on female? I feel like instinctually, um, 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.480 we are there for women and we you know, women 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.440 support women. So even if you know the boy in 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.400 our lives is saying like the mother like you always 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.200 are like hmm, let me see what's really getting on? 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.920 Getting let me see what's really going on woman to woman. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.040 So I was surprised as well that she kind of 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:43.280 came in very aggressive, defensively. It is your boyfriend's mom, 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.800 I would want to impress her a little, even if 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.679 they're estranged. I don't know, that's just me. Yeah, definitely, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:56.840 So we got some on Kelly's birthday, it's inconsistent. Shoot 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.439 talk to kind of goes to the theme of the show, Okay, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.319 talk to us. In season three, Kelly's eighteenth birthday was 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.079 celebrated in March, and then in season six, Kelly's twenty 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.480 one birthday was celebrated in September. Wait, air date, but 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.360 the air date? Doesn't they say it's March, or they 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.520 say it's September, because air date doesn't matter. It may 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.240 have been the episode date, Like whatever was happening in 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.760 the episode, what season was it? What were we wearing? 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:34.480 Was it? Like? Is that how we tell those season's Okay, wait, okay, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.120 let's just go through this for a second. So if 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.480 it's March, I'm gonna go with March like end of March, 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.760 because then you could be an aries, which you really are. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.560 And Dylan was a Libra, which Luke really was, and 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.200 that kind of makes a love story even better for me. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.160 I like that because real playing really like it. I 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.000 like it. Let's go with that. Know what, if that's 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.560 what you want, that's what we're going to be. Kelly's 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:01.520 birthdays in March time stamped right here and here, right 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.560 here and here. Did you guys feel that it was 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:09.800 foreshadowing at all that Donna would be in business with 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:16.840 Steve and now Tory is in business with Ien that you, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.600 my friend, I didn't get that at all. Okay, it's 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.520 so funny what you take away from things. So okay, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.560 So jumping to the Donna Steve storyline, which I was 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.040 really grateful for. It was like a good story, juicy 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.880 storyline for me. Um finding my voice, which you know 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.080 is a big thing but over over arching theme in 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:46.160 Tori's real life, as Jenny would know. I know, and 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.320 that's so not me. Um. The character of Tori is no. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.800 But it's like, finding my voice has been a big thing, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.120 and my best friend always helps me find my voice, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.160 and we've been working on it and I'm getting there. 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.600 You're getting their girls. Donna was getting there too. She 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.760 I felt like Kelly was a really bad friend to 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.320 Donna in this episode. I felt bad the way she 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.720 was treating Donna. I mean, she kept saying she was stupid, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.720 and she didn't say you're stupid, she said, don't be stupid. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.640 Don't be stupid. And also I didn't really understand why 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.000 Kelly would care that much about Donna spending money because, 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.520 as to Kelly, you know, money is just an evergreen thing, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.040 you know. So I didn't under I didn't really get 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.520 why Kelly was supposed to be the voice of reason 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.440 for her. Maybe it went with the theme of the 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.120 episode of like mothering. Like it was almost like Kelly 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.679 was very mothering. You guys are both so smart today. Yeah, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:51.000 this is where we are, but I'm loving it. Um. So, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.319 I was gonna say another thing about my life, Like 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.840 I've always feared that people would think I was stupid. 0:13:56.240 --> 0:14:00.200 Um just I don't know why. So that, like the 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.280 feeling of Donna thinking people will assume she's stupid is 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.959 very on point for me my whole life, thinking people 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.760 will assume I'm stupid. Um well, why do you think 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.400 people would think that? I have no idea. I'm not sure, 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.920 because I think you're a female. Um. I think it 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.640 came originally because who my dad was, and he was 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.080 the producer and people would make assumptions and perceptions, and 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.080 they would say things like, oh, she just has the 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.440 part because of her dad, and she can't act and 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.640 she can't can't, can't. I heard can't so many times 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.480 that I guess that went into my brain as I 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.560 can't be smart, I can't think for myself, I can't 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.440 have a voice, I can't anything because I'm just told 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:47.760 no so much publicly. Mhm. And also that's not true. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.080 I was gonna say I wasn't that good in school, 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.200 but it wasn't bad. And you're super smart. You're smart. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.000 Everybody has smart intelligence in different areas. I think. I 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.200 always tell my kids, Uh, I'm not book smart, I'm 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.720 street smart. Okay, So if you were going to have 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.400 to talk to me as your kid in a mothering way, 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.800 I'm not booked smart and I don't want street smart. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.600 So what type of smart? Oh, let's we're gonna have 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.480 to come up with a different category, clearly, right, m 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:25.200 Your business smart? Oh not money. I didn't say money. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.600 I did say don't go to them. I didn't say money. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.760 But I think your business smart, thank you. I think 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:39.080 your business smart too. Um so, but it's funny, Donna 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.840 was good at the stock market, which is money, which 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:51.840 maybe that should have It made me laugh exactly. It 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.640 didn't rub off at all. The interesting thing is, if 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.240 they were going to write that in there, maybe my 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:58.920 dad would have been like, maybe I should teach her 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.120 about money and teacher investments and teacher about all the 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.680 stock market he and my mom's stock market. But nope, 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.560 nothing nothing. So I played it on TV. Didn't know 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.080 in real life, still don't. It's so funny because I 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.760 I don't think about money. I don't I'm not a 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.320 money minded person. And I don't do math like just ever, 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.560 Like I don't when you say numbers to me, even 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.280 if it's a phone number, my brain just goes like 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.600 I can't handle any kind of numbers. So I didn't 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:37.160 teach my kids about math or you know, money, finances, anything, 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.920 And I feel terrible about that. And I always said 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.360 to their dad, like you have to pick pick up 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.160 because I can't do this. I don't know, I don't 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.920 know anything about it. So just the other day, my 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.560 twenty four year old came and she was asking like 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.920 real life questions about um money and a job and 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:58.960 getting a raise and um w not nine ten one ten. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.360 I see, I don't know stuff like this W nine forms. 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.880 Maybe I think I just think it's not the one 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.320 you clean with. It's not the Okay, she was asking 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.720 about all that stuff. Clearly I shouldn't ask you guys either, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.080 but I was like, I don't really know, so thank goodness, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.560 my husband Dave knows about it and um, but she said, yeah, 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.760 you and Dad were no help when I needed advice 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.040 about that kind of stuff because I was always like, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.760 I don't know cale Andy, who's like in the business 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.080 management firm, Because I don't that's not good advice to 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:33.760 give your kids, Like you should sit down and try 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:41.639 to teach them about I guess money managed in school, Like, yeah, 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.879 we can't do it. School needs to teach it. I 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.720 don't think we should. We need to learn about trigometry 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.800 or whatever Brendan is talking about what even don't even 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.119 know what trigonometry is, but uh, they shouldn't teach about that. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.400 They should teach about real life applications of like finances 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.520 and so many management and as basic as how to 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.800 write a check and like like it's things all the ways. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.560 That's clearly nobody writes checks. I write a check every 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.960 week what do you What are you guys talking about? 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.600 I write a check every week? What are you talking about? 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.840 You get a check book out and write a check 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.960 to that person. There's still there's still some of you 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.719 out there. How do you wait? How do you do it? 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:28.080 If you don't write it? You guys? Venmo or electronic payments? 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.320 Some people don't have that. No, I know what you mean. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.600 There's still some. So my housekeeper, who's literally Jen knows 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.880 her well, like work for my mom since I was thirteen, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.800 started with me at eighteen. She's my grandma. I call 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.800 her mama. Um. She doesn't know about electric transfer. She 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.000 doesn't know this stuff, just like I don't. She didn't 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.360 have VENMO, so I write her a check. I mean, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.760 I use checks still too, but I don't write them 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.000 out anymore. They come off of a computer. But I 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.760 still have a checkbook, but it's all out of checks, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.600 like there's no checks that it you guys. I got 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.880 fancy with investing. I was on my Venmo the other 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.480 day and it told me I could do bitcoin, crypto, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.840 all that jazz. Oh, clearly not. But it had the 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.200 arrows going up and down like a stock market, and 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.520 I saw the up arrow, So I said, you know what, 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.119 I'm gonna roll the dice and take a chance. I 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.440 invested a hundred dollars of my venmo in bitcoin. Yes 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:29.359 it's seven bitcoin. It sound seventy four dollars and twenty 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.440 three cents? Am I gonna be? Okay? Should I sell? 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:39.280 Donna sold? Should I sell? Write it out? Sell? I say, sell, sell, sell. 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.320 I have no idea. But if I sell it, I 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:45.680 only get seventy four dollars and three cents. No, no, 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.560 you will. But I'm just saying so at that point, 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.040 hold on, okay, you hold onto it. It'll come back up. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.439 It'll come back up. And the minute it comes back up, 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.919 j G. The minute it comes back up, I'm selling it, 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.000 just like Donna did. I'm going to take a lesson 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.400 from my character on the show. Good for You. You'll 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.919 learned something from this, rewatch. I think that all of 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.840 our listeners have learned something from this episode two, and 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.520 it's how money illiterate we all three seem to be. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.240 It's so sad because my dad is an accountant and 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.399 my um my husband works in finance. He's the director 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:23.200 of finance. Like I couldn't be more surrounded about with money, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.439 and I'm just like, well, thank god, that's great that 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:30.040 you're going around you that are Yeah, you're gonna be okay. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.840 We there's there's a saying. What was the saying that 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.720 your ex said to you about you in regards to money? 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.800 Because it applies to me too, and I always think 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:43.040 about it except now, which I forgot. Wait when he 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.960 said someday you're going to thank me for this? Oh no, 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:53.600 not that one. Uh oh, there's only two quotes. I 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.480 can remember that one and um, your your penny smart 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.800 and dollar foolish or is it the other way around? 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.640 So know how to save We like bargains, like we'll 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.639 go to Target or go to somewhere, but w end 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.560 up spending so much money there that you could have 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.679 spent into something else. It was in regards to this conversation, 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:15.000 and you said, right, is that it? Yeah, you're a 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.119 penny smart, dollar foolish. I think so that's me too. 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:20.880 We have to stop talking about money now. I'm getting 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:26.080 anxiety break. I like breaks. Okay, So when we come back, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:31.200 we're going to interview Stephanie Beacham, who played Iris McKay um. 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.840 Of course you know her from well she worked with 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:35.919 Jason on Sister Kate, and she was on Dynasty The 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:51.320 Colby's and we're super excited to see her again. Okay, 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.440 we are very, very honored and excited to be talking 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:59.080 to Stephanie Beacham right now. As you know, played Iris 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:09.359 McKay Dylan's cucko Mama free spirited. So excited to see 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.320 you again. Oh, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. I mean, it's 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.399 been far too long. I know, of course, story what 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.600 I really think of is you and you're twelve in 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.840 truth Beverly Hill. I know, it'sn't that crazy that we 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.959 got to semi work together two times, even though we 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.840 never were really like in major scenes in either in 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.080 Troo Beverly Hills or nine or two and now Donning. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:40.479 I observed you behaving so beautifully when you were over 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:45.360 hot in Santa Monica Park or something like that, and 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.080 and you were so hot and you were asking for 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.600 no privileges and you were just one of the team, 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.560 and I thought, that girl is fabulous. Thank you. You've 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.520 always been so amazing. That day that a couple of 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.600 days it was like over a hundred degrees. People were 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.440 passing out like crazy. It was it was hard. I 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:14.639 thought you were very very cool. Well, besides that, my 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.359 dad loved you so much. Obviously, he worked with you 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.119 time and time again because he thought you were so 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:24.800 amazing and so kind, so special, and he basically changed 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:30.280 my life. M hm he really did. I mean I 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:36.040 was a divorcee with I mean I was successful. He 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:40.000 just changed my life. He turned it into chechnica. Mm hm. 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.440 So your first job on television was with Aaron Spelling, 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.120 because I know you trained at RATA and you did 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.680 a lot of me me. My first job, what I 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:58.480 think that television was in black and white. I played Mary, 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:03.200 Queen of Scott's. Uh you know that did historical drama 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.280 and stuff like that. Can we talk about Dynasty and 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:08.720 the Colby's before nine o two and olm, I just said, 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:12.639 I have to, yes, yes, okay, this is this is 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:17.080 what was really fun. Then I did Sister Kate, which 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.840 was when I played a nun, which I just was 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:28.760 a good contrast to Table Colby. And Jason was my 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:34.680 eldest orphan in this orphanage that I read. And when 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:40.320 Luke needed a mom on nine o two one, oh, 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.760 it was Jason that said you need Beecham your lover. 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.439 And it was Jason who went to your daddy Tory, 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.800 and said, how about Beacham for Luke's mom. And that's 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.960 how it happened. I did not know that. I just 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.560 assumed because my dad loved working with you, that he 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:02.520 wanted to incorporate you. That's why. That's why it happened. 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:06.480 Because you didn't thus say no. He said, oh well wait, 0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.240 and then of course I turned up with one of 0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:14.720 the worst American accents ever, and so they decided that 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:19.720 I had to have come from Hawaii. Wait. They wanted 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.960 you to come from Hawaii so you could use your 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:27.800 real accent. No why, That's why I had a rather 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.639 strange American accent. For some reason, they just thought it 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:33.200 would work. Well, there we get I've never heard of 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:40.480 Hawaiian with funny accent. Everything comes full circle because this 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.520
