Speaker 1: It's nine O G Engine with Jenny Garth and Tory
Speaker 1: spelling there Hi, Oh my gosh, this is wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little grayer than last time. We probably
Speaker 2: saw each other.
Speaker 3: A silver fuck I've seen you.
Speaker 2: You have. I don't say this was I that was
Speaker 2: like five, six, seven years ago. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: can't remember. I think I was. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 2: was great, great, pretty gray.
Speaker 1: It looks so good on you.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, thank you. So it's like you.
Speaker 3: Weren't an actor, like I came in and took a
Speaker 3: meeting with you producing.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: The roles were reversed. It was awesome, it was great.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 1: Michael Dets. You still look the same you do. You
Speaker 1: look exactly the same, but you have a great wing on.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 2: It's kind of yeah, a little older. God, I mean,
Speaker 2: what are we talking.
Speaker 1: Like thirty twenty thirty years it's twenty eight.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You were in season six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were a doctor or not a you were
Speaker 1: a resident.
Speaker 2: I was a I was like a med student, med
Speaker 2: student something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they like kept mentioning that, right, Yeah, don't you.
Speaker 1: Think it's a little unethical for a med student to
Speaker 1: hit on one of his patients.
Speaker 2: I think, so, yeah, I'm going to go with yes.
Speaker 2: And you were in for cocaine, weren't you.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm a great catch.
Speaker 3: At that point, you're like, oh, I think they're like,
Speaker 3: we got to throw it in. He's not a doctor,
Speaker 3: so maybe this storyline is okay. Yeah, exactly, he's in training.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: It was crazy because I may have mentioned this back
Speaker 2: in the day, but like, really quick, I was at
Speaker 2: Penn State my second year, watching nine to two and
Speaker 2: on a black and white TV in my dorm room.
Speaker 2: Never it acted, and uh, and I watched it. It
Speaker 2: was almost coming up on and I was like, first
Speaker 2: of all, I had a crush on a little crush
Speaker 2: on Jenny when I was watching it, and I was like,
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills. I had never been to California, and I
Speaker 2: was like, it looks like a great place to live,
Speaker 2: and these guys look like they're having fun doing this show.
Speaker 2: And I called my mom, and long story short, she
Speaker 2: got me crush. She's like, what are you doing? I
Speaker 2: knew one guy in Newport Beach I ended up staying
Speaker 2: for the summer Meta manager. It was Lee Daniels, who
Speaker 2: now directs Lee Daniels The Butler, and he was like
Speaker 2: my first manager stayed. My stepfather at the time was like,
Speaker 2: you can always go back to school. You may as
Speaker 2: well give it a shot. And like four three four
Speaker 2: years later, I was standing with you. I remember on
Speaker 2: the scene we were about to have a kissing scene,
Speaker 2: and I think it was when Tar, her name was
Speaker 2: the character Tar was watching like from the window, and
Speaker 2: I just remember like thinking, I literally stepped through the television.
Speaker 1: Set and now I was in color. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you never told me that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that true story. It's a really like
Speaker 2: one of the reasons I drove to California. I'm currently
Speaker 2: on the East Coast through the holidays, but the reason
Speaker 2: I drove to LA was that show partly and then
Speaker 2: ended up just staying and then ended up being on
Speaker 2: that show. Was just so bizarre. Still one of those
Speaker 2: stories I tell because it still gives me goosebumps that
Speaker 2: I can't believe that that actually happened.
Speaker 1: That I just got goosebumps too. That's like a like
Speaker 1: a dream come true. You like, should we say you're welcome.
Speaker 1: I think we didn't have much to do with it.
Speaker 2: That was just like weird, No, but it was.
Speaker 3: It was I hadn't saw you and had a little crush.
Speaker 3: Maybe he never done it, that's.
Speaker 1: Right, so right, I never.
Speaker 2: I never.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never got creepy crush vibes from you.
Speaker 2: So that at that point, Yeah, that was years and years,
Speaker 2: but yeah, the true true story. And then from there,
Speaker 2: I think there was a couple of things I did
Speaker 2: before and then I remember you guys, we had seen
Speaker 2: Blockbuster that dates it, doesn't it a Blockbuster on Wilshire,
Speaker 2: and I remember toy You and Jenny were like everybody
Speaker 2: that's done the show goes on to like work or
Speaker 2: do soaps, and you were naming like all these people.
Speaker 2: And then sure enough I ended up, you know, doing
Speaker 2: soaps for six years I think after that show or
Speaker 2: seven years.
Speaker 1: So it all kind of just what was your like,
Speaker 1: your acting experience prior to doing the show.
Speaker 2: I think I did. I want to say, I did
Speaker 2: a bay Watch where Pamela Anderson saves me from the
Speaker 2: ocean from a gator.
Speaker 1: Long story and there's a gator in the ocean.
Speaker 2: Yeah again, long story came out of a sewer sewer
Speaker 2: drain and Hasselhoff picks me up and puts me in
Speaker 2: the truck and.
Speaker 1: Was this a dream sequence some other one of your dreams?
Speaker 2: It was real?
Speaker 1: It was real, and oh my god.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he puts me in the back of this truck.
Speaker 2: And that was I think my first first thing. And
Speaker 2: then right as I found out, I got and I
Speaker 2: think I got the call to test for Guiding Light,
Speaker 2: like I think it was within like I think it
Speaker 2: was pretty close. And then Guiding Light was like my
Speaker 2: first year on on soaps.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: But I remember being in your your dad's office toy,
Speaker 2: and I was just I was so nervous. I walked in.
Speaker 2: It was down to the final callbacks, I guess, and
Speaker 2: I look and there's David Chokichi sitting them like, oh god,
Speaker 2: like what, I like, what am I doing here? Like
Speaker 2: all these people. There's like about four or five guys,
Speaker 2: And I just remember recognizing David and and went in
Speaker 2: and your dad was there, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't believe I'm in I'm in
Speaker 2: the office here, and and uh and I did the audition.
Speaker 2: I just remember the Steelers were playing in the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl like that that following Sunday or something, and your
Speaker 2: dad was like I knew I was a Steeler fan.
Speaker 2: I was talking about it and he's like, you want
Speaker 2: to place a ben And I just remember saying, you
Speaker 2: mean my dollar to year like millions? And uh. And
Speaker 2: that was like the last last thing I said. And
Speaker 2: I ended up leaving the office and got a call
Speaker 2: I want to say later that day, or like a
Speaker 2: couple of day later or two days later that I
Speaker 2: that I booked it, and I was so excited.
Speaker 3: I mean, back then, David Chokichi is still mad at you.
Speaker 1: Wait, but did you know that your role was going
Speaker 1: to be key?
Speaker 2: I think that's a really good question. I honestly, I
Speaker 2: don't know how much they gave us. I can't remember
Speaker 2: like if it was a you know, just two pages,
Speaker 2: or if there was any context.
Speaker 3: To what one of those fake scenes reads, you know,
Speaker 3: what's going on.
Speaker 2: And especially then, it was probably pretty under wraps. I
Speaker 2: would imagine with the story, you know that the popularity
Speaker 2: and the storylines and stuff. So I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I just remember getting the call and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't I can't believe that that
Speaker 2: this is happening. So and I remember the first day Tory,
Speaker 2: I just remember you walked by. I was in the
Speaker 2: dress room. I just gotten like acclimated, I got sent
Speaker 2: and I just remember you coming in. You were the
Speaker 2: sweet as you were like him. So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know who you are, and you're so kind and
Speaker 2: sweet and made me feel so at home. And I
Speaker 2: always remember that that was like my first, you know,
Speaker 2: first impression, my first experience being like on set.
Speaker 3: And and then well we all got to hang out.
Speaker 3: Like I never had scenes with you, but like we
Speaker 3: all went out and we're friends in real life.
Speaker 2: And during that time, yeah, and I remember, yeah, you
Speaker 2: lived on I think Wilshire, someplace on Wilshire, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And I remember we ran into each other a lot.
Speaker 2: And then Jenny, I think I ran The last time
Speaker 2: I ran into you was like in a Ralph's, like
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, the one on Ventura by the across
Speaker 2: from the old Maxwell Maxwell's Drugs, Maxwell Drugs, whatever that
Speaker 2: one is. And I think that was the last time.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Why don't I remember that because it
Speaker 1: was like it was literally like I, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and then like it was like two minutes was it Ralph's? Okay?
Speaker 1: So we were groceries?
Speaker 2: Ralph you were, Yeah, you were shopping, and it had
Speaker 2: to be maybe it could be twenty well maybe twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, because I'm trying to think, Yeah, it might
Speaker 2: have been fifteen.
Speaker 1: And did we say hello to one another?
Speaker 2: We did? We did? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And did I reckon? Did I know who?
Speaker 2: You realize? Really are?
Speaker 1: You probably remember people?
Speaker 2: We chatted? And then I think that was it. It
Speaker 2: might have been the only time I saw you after
Speaker 2: Oh my god, anything since the show. But and then
Speaker 2: you know, I know Randy's on it, but then you know,
Speaker 2: obviously Randy's son, Colton became my son on Poor Charles
Speaker 2: on My Soap, which was.
Speaker 1: So You've got to work with Colti.
Speaker 2: I did. Now he's so growing up, it's so weird.
Speaker 2: But I loved it. It was It was a great
Speaker 2: It was great. I saw some of the scenes, like
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, I pulled out a VCR
Speaker 2: tape and and there were some scenes of me and him.
Speaker 2: Was so sweet, he was so little.
Speaker 1: I just realized, you and mister Showbiz have the same hair,
Speaker 1: exact same hair.
Speaker 2: I've seen it recently in some of the posts.
Speaker 3: But do you wear tank talks because he wears going
Speaker 3: really well.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not doing it. I'm not
Speaker 2: doing the cutoffs with the tank tops yet. But Randy,
Speaker 2: maybe you got a you know, he can show me
Speaker 2: some style.
Speaker 1: Oh he will.
Speaker 3: But you're still iconically known in the soap world in
Speaker 3: a good way. I'm obsessed with soap operas like Live
Speaker 3: for Them. Do people ever recognize you from now two?
Speaker 3: And oh?
Speaker 1: Though, I mean it was only four episodes.
Speaker 2: And I made mistake or not mistake, I guess, however
Speaker 2: you look at it, going down to Tijuana Rosa Rito
Speaker 2: maybe spring break with some friends and it was like wow,
Speaker 2: one of them while they were still airing, and so
Speaker 2: definitely it's like the one time I remember it was
Speaker 2: like wait then we'd be sitting at the bar and
Speaker 2: I kid you not, there'd be like a preview coming
Speaker 2: up and you'd see it flash. Wait after that, I
Speaker 2: think for a bit, and soaps very rarely now long ago.
Speaker 2: I mean, the last show that I did well, I
Speaker 2: think I can say this because I saw it online.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say anything else. But I did
Speaker 2: a very short stint recently, the first time in twenty
Speaker 2: years in front of camera, and that respect on on days.
Speaker 2: But I'm not saying anything else because I'm not supposed
Speaker 2: to say it. But I did see it online, so
Speaker 2: they I think talked about it. I saw my name
Speaker 2: like a couple days ago, so anyway, but it been
Speaker 2: it's twenty we're talking about twenty years since I did
Speaker 2: Port Charles, Finish Port Charles, and then I did Bold
Speaker 2: and Beautiful was the last one, and my daughter was born,
Speaker 2: so that was twenty one. Yeah, it was twenty one
Speaker 2: years ago since I did I'd left a soap opera, which.
Speaker 1: Is crazy, but no one forgets soap operas.
Speaker 3: No one ages on soap operas.
Speaker 2: No one does. And you know, I've done I hosting,
Speaker 2: I did a couple of things, and then you know,
Speaker 2: as you know, I got into producing fully, like twenty
Speaker 2: three years ago. I kind of right when Bold and
Speaker 2: Beautiful was over and just realized how much I loved it.
Speaker 1: How did that happen?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: What was the reality? TV? Unscripted was kind of starting,
Speaker 2: and I remember thinking, God, you know, I should I
Speaker 2: should pitch some ideas and come up with some ideas
Speaker 2: that I have for different shows and things like that,
Speaker 2: and so basically started kind of putting my own stuff
Speaker 2: together and pitching and and then through that a friend
Speaker 2: of mine that worked on Big Brother and was one
Speaker 2: of my favorite shows. My friend Sean was like, you know,
Speaker 2: you'd be great like creating games and doing competition shows
Speaker 2: for for like these type of shows, and I was
Speaker 2: like great. He got me an interview at Big Brother.
Speaker 2: My resume was like course, guys like you produce TV.
Speaker 2: I'm like no, But I went in and I knew
Speaker 2: the show well enough that I pitched like all these games.
Speaker 2: And he called like a week later, and I remember
Speaker 2: him saying, you know, I've got people with like resumes
Speaker 2: like this, but you're you know, the meeting was so great.
Speaker 2: And so I came on as a producer on Big
Speaker 2: Brother and then have been kind of working since. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I just love everything from Apprentice to Minute to
Speaker 2: Win It to a Big Brother to Food Network shows too,
Speaker 2: I mean pretty much everything.
Speaker 1: And you did House Civilains? Correct?
Speaker 2: Did How Civillains last?
Speaker 3: First season?
Speaker 2: Yeah? First season? And then Generation Gap I did that
Speaker 2: same year with Kelly Rippa and uh. And then I
Speaker 2: do a lot of you know, developing stuff for for
Speaker 2: networks as well in production companies. And then my wife
Speaker 2: and I started pitching a lot of our own stuff
Speaker 2: as well, and so we currently have seven projects in
Speaker 2: various stages of development with you know, we've so I've
Speaker 2: sold option shows like Fox and Sony, and we currently
Speaker 2: have one with Reese Witherspoon's company, He'll of Sunshine, And
Speaker 2: so we we found we really enjoy that and kind
Speaker 2: of doing our own thing and pitching our own stuff.
Speaker 2: So it's been it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like.
Speaker 2: Literally we're so we're you know, it's funny because we're
Speaker 2: now Our daughter's twenty two, she's in her final year
Speaker 2: at Duke and we only have the one and we
Speaker 2: were empty nesting. So when she went, she was very
Speaker 2: supportive too. She's like, I'm excited to see what you
Speaker 2: guys are gonna do when I go, you know, go
Speaker 2: off to college. And so I kind of feel like
Speaker 2: it's that moment back in you know, college, watching something
Speaker 2: on TV that it's kind of the next chapter. And
Speaker 2: so I keep joking like I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of ways we just got to La. It's like what
Speaker 2: are we going to do now? And you know, there's
Speaker 2: so many opportunities, as everybody knows. The last couple of years,
Speaker 2: I think in entertainment in general, especially unscripted and but
Speaker 2: but yeah, we've we've enjoyed it, and we're currently we
Speaker 2: did a couple of months on the East Coast now
Speaker 2: through the holidays. My wife is here with her mom,
Speaker 2: who's not not doing great, and so we're spend some
Speaker 2: time here. My mom's up in Pittsburgh. We've kind of
Speaker 2: been bouncing all around the East Coast the last last
Speaker 2: couple of months and hopefully back in La soon.
Speaker 3: Are you laying in bed at night and you're just like, wait,
Speaker 3: I have this idea and then you just like, is
Speaker 3: it the pileon?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, Sometimes it pops in. I have to write
Speaker 2: it down immediately or I forget it, and yeah, And
Speaker 2: a lot of times it's been like around somebody or
Speaker 2: a talent, right we base it on and then and
Speaker 2: other times, yeah, it's just format. So I'm kind of
Speaker 2: the majority of the stuff is kind of the competition
Speaker 2: game formats that I've done a lot of, you know,
Speaker 2: and it's obviously very competitive. It's not just as easy
Speaker 2: as going out the first thing I sold years ago.
Speaker 2: You were asking how I got into it, like write
Speaker 2: around right before Big Brother I started, I actually sold
Speaker 2: a scripted show to NBC and we were in. The
Speaker 2: script was written the weekend that it was going to
Speaker 2: be decided to go into series. A lot of people
Speaker 2: got let go at NBC and the Project Fill apartment.
Speaker 2: There was like a Hollywood Reporter article like this is
Speaker 2: going to be lightning in a bottle this series. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, amazing. And it just didn't.
Speaker 2: It just didn't turn out age. By the way, my
Speaker 2: wife was on episode. She was in. She was with
Speaker 2: rick Hurst in an episode or two after me. They
Speaker 2: wanted to say, hey, hey, I I think.
Speaker 5: I did do a scene with both of you in
Speaker 5: Spring Breakdown. It was many many moons ago.
Speaker 2: What yeh.
Speaker 5: Rick Hurst played a manager and Tiffany and merheessim was
Speaker 5: managing her boyfriend and there was a movie premiere and
Speaker 5: I was the the bimbo actress that kind of entered in.
Speaker 3: So I thought, I was like, wait, did he just
Speaker 3: say she was on an episode?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Spring Breakdown?
Speaker 1: It was one Wait and Palm Springs. Were you on
Speaker 1: location though?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, no, no, it was in, It was in,
Speaker 5: It was in town.
Speaker 1: Wait was it after you were on?
Speaker 2: See? I was six or eight? Was it eight? I
Speaker 2: feel like, oh later and seven seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we're gonna look.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Tiffany and Thesim was on it at that point. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. I don't know if she was on
Speaker 5: yours and all, but.
Speaker 1: Would you say you played a bimbo? She played a bembo.
Speaker 5: Tiffany and we all pretended like Cameron Crowe wanted to
Speaker 5: meet me, and so she just showed me away so
Speaker 5: that I wouldn't be near her handsome actor boyfriend that.
Speaker 1: She was managing on the show. Oh my gosh, Jen
Speaker 1: We was that when?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was Sex in the City, Jason Lewis, who
Speaker 4: went on Sex and the City, Kim Katrell's boyfriend, actor boyfriend,
Speaker 4: he played another actor exactly.
Speaker 1: I love it. Oh, this has been fun. We're going
Speaker 1: to keep an eye out for you. Then you both
Speaker 1: look lovely. I'll let good to.
Speaker 2: See you by. Thanks son.
Speaker 1: Wait, that was fun to get to meet her and
Speaker 1: and hear that story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we watched. We watched them recently. I think we're
Speaker 2: families and pulled them up and saw.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've done a lot of shows, a lot
Speaker 1: of reality shows. Of all of them, what would you say,
Speaker 1: like was has been your most challenging or the most difficult.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great question. They're all challenging in their
Speaker 2: own ways. I'd say, you know, we did. I did.
Speaker 2: I was a co executive producer on a show called
Speaker 2: Stars earn Stripes. It was with Burnett and Dick Wolf.
Speaker 2: Actually even though he scripted and it was there showing.
Speaker 2: It was celebrities like shooting live ammo and guns and
Speaker 2: jumping out and yeah, we had like Nick Chet like
Speaker 2: all these celebs and it was it was intense. I
Speaker 2: mean it was real. They were shooting machine guns, they
Speaker 2: were shooting.
Speaker 1: Like everything that sounds like Special Forces now it's.
Speaker 2: It's very much. It was very much like like Special Forces.
Speaker 2: But it was this was yeah, you were first, Yeah
Speaker 2: we were first, and that just logistically with the safety
Speaker 2: and everything. It was. It was a lot and the
Speaker 2: celebs alone. Right then you've got and you've got all
Speaker 2: the military consultants and experts on set all the time
Speaker 2: telling how to do stuff. You know, I mean a
Speaker 2: lot could go wrong and show like that if you're
Speaker 2: not careful. I was one of the biggest I think,
Speaker 2: and then one of my most fun was the best
Speaker 2: time ever with Neil Patrick Harris. It was a live
Speaker 2: show on NBC and it was just just a blast,
Speaker 2: I mean live on network TV. Wow walk like out
Speaker 2: of New York.
Speaker 1: Will we talk us through that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So it was It was based on it a
Speaker 2: UK series called Saturday Night Takeaway. There's these two guys
Speaker 2: and Deck that are like super popular in the UK
Speaker 2: and it's a show that they had and so we,
Speaker 2: not me, NBC took it and wanted to do its
Speaker 2: own version. We called it Best Time Ever. But it
Speaker 2: was based on that show. So it was like what
Speaker 2: do you call it? A show with a bunch of
Speaker 2: different what's the thing?
Speaker 1: Variety show, variety show.
Speaker 2: Thank you? Like there was a lot of Neil kind
Speaker 2: of always had like a live bit he would do.
Speaker 2: We had some remote stuff that I also produced if
Speaker 2: we were on like in Chicago and other places during
Speaker 2: the episodes, but it was basically a variety show. We
Speaker 2: had celebrities come on do bits. There was challenges that
Speaker 2: we did. There was you know, like I said, Neil
Speaker 2: singing and dancing and people came on as guests. MC's
Speaker 2: Kelsey Kelsey Grammar like we had you know, one of
Speaker 2: the baldwins. We had Reese Switherspoon on the show. They
Speaker 2: had it like kind of everybody it was a really.
Speaker 1: Fun Hey this sounds great. What happened to that?
Speaker 2: Did one season? And I think probably the budget and
Speaker 2: everything else. I mean, who knows. That's the one thing
Speaker 2: I've I've learned to kind of not trying to figure out.
Speaker 2: I never know what you know, you think something's gonna
Speaker 2: not go, and it goes and vice versa. It's just
Speaker 2: there's so many, so many factors involved in it, especially
Speaker 2: if it goes for a long time.
Speaker 1: You've you've been in it for a minute, I mean,
Speaker 1: all the ups and downs. I'm sure your adventures are interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been. It's been great. It's take some great
Speaker 2: places and you know stuff that I've shot in Ireland
Speaker 2: and Australia and all over the place, and it's been
Speaker 2: it's been really fun.
Speaker 1: And you said you prefer being behind the camera instead
Speaker 1: of in front of it.
Speaker 2: I do, I do?
Speaker 3: You know, I always kind of there's a question mark there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could. I wouldn't want to. I'd want to
Speaker 2: host if that opportunity came up, I think, but to
Speaker 2: go back full time acting again, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I I just I get so much out
Speaker 2: of producing and creating, and that it would be it
Speaker 2: would be a weird transition. And now that said, if
Speaker 2: I was something recurring and I could do it while
Speaker 2: I'm producing, for sure, like one hundred percent, kind of
Speaker 2: like I just recently did. And but hosting, I always
Speaker 2: love hosting, and a lot of times with the reality shows,
Speaker 2: I'll kind of host the run throughs and things like
Speaker 2: that before we get our hosts on board. So I
Speaker 2: enjoy that. But producing is just like I just loved
Speaker 2: at My wife will say I got to stop when
Speaker 2: I get help, but my nature is just always producing things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I do have to let it go sometimes when
Speaker 2: I walk in the door because it's like, well, wait,
Speaker 2: let's do that. We gotta do this, and what time
Speaker 2: are we doing this? It's like gott to let it go.
Speaker 3: Well, she is your life partner and business partner, So
Speaker 3: where do you leave now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Now I really have to be careful. But even
Speaker 2: my daughter wud be like, Dad, stop producing us. You cannot.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2: So but it's been great, you know, and look, if
Speaker 2: it's the right thing, and maybe as I get older,
Speaker 2: you know, I end up coming back to it. I
Speaker 2: keep thinking there is a chance I end up bookending,
Speaker 2: you know, my my career and somehow I'm acting because
Speaker 2: it's I'd much rather be sixty five seventy on a
Speaker 2: show acting than running around putting out fires at that age,
Speaker 2: so you never know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, producing is hard work.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 1: Acting is a lot easier. Just go get your makeup done.
Speaker 2: It's not easier, right, Well, I don't want to say
Speaker 2: that to any action because it's really it is hard.
Speaker 2: Obviously the lines. By the way, this recent thing I forgot,
Speaker 2: like you forget that muscle, I'm like, can I do
Speaker 2: this again? Well, i'd be able to retain this, like
Speaker 2: and what happened? I did, just like getting back on
Speaker 2: a bike.
Speaker 3: I was like, soap operas are different, Like how many
Speaker 3: pages a day?
Speaker 1: Do you guys? Typically what?
Speaker 2: Well? I mean, if it's an hour show, you could
Speaker 2: you could have twenty pages.
Speaker 3: Imagine Jen like would be screwed with like eight pages.
Speaker 3: We'd be like, oh my god, we have so much
Speaker 3: dialogue today.
Speaker 1: I would feel the same exact way, Like if I
Speaker 1: was having to memorize something and go act right now,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my god, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can do it.
Speaker 2: I was blessed to luck out on with the exception
Speaker 2: of Guying Light. It was only a year, but a
Speaker 2: port Charles and Bold and Beautiful were half an hour shows,
Speaker 2: so it was the same deal, but half the show.
Speaker 2: You definitely didn't have as much Jay. I got to
Speaker 2: ask you, Jenny, do you remember.
Speaker 1: Because I was laughing, I'm just gonna say no.
Speaker 2: When we both I think I went out and got
Speaker 2: a car when I was on the show, and you
Speaker 2: went out to the same lady and got a car.
Speaker 2: And there's the joke about lipstick. You don't remember any
Speaker 2: of that to you. Probably not lipstick in a cart
Speaker 2: a BMW from a woman on Wilshire and we had
Speaker 2: this joke that she always kind of had some lipstick
Speaker 2: on her and we would be on set and you
Speaker 2: got like who I was like, oh my god, happened
Speaker 2: to go to the same lady within like a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks of me, and we chance No. I think
Speaker 2: I got it first, and Jenny's like, where'd you get that?
Speaker 2: And I said you should go talk to this lady
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: We have the same car. Did I get the same
Speaker 1: car as you.
Speaker 2: No, you got something different anyway. I just I just
Speaker 2: remember that, like I love.
Speaker 1: That you remember that. I wish I did.
Speaker 3: Well now that you brought it back around. Can we
Speaker 3: talk about Resident Greg for a second, because our fans
Speaker 3: really a ka us what happened. We weren't as fans
Speaker 3: rewatching the show, as viewers were perplexed. We're like, he
Speaker 3: never comes back, He's just gone the whole tear.
Speaker 2: I think Tara. Tara's shared the crap out me.
Speaker 1: Why didn't he try?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, right, it was weird.
Speaker 1: She said that Kelly wasn't up for a relationship, and she.
Speaker 2: Planted that seat in my head and then I just
Speaker 2: kind of backed off and then it just kind of
Speaker 2: and that was it.
Speaker 1: We never see you again.
Speaker 3: You're never mentioned again. We're very upcited about it as yours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, because I remember too. I was like,
Speaker 2: maybe this goes, maybe this something happens. I'm still waiting, guys,
Speaker 2: by the way, So yeah, I don't know. It was
Speaker 2: a weird. It was a weird ending. Yeah, I watched
Speaker 2: them again reboot.
Speaker 1: On the reboot.
Speaker 3: On the reboot, we got your number, We'll book it.
Speaker 3: Into your acting career with that.
Speaker 2: There you go, that would be funny. Twenty fifty.
Speaker 1: Nine O two one old.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a weird ending. I just you
Speaker 2: know that that whole thing. I mean, it was obviously
Speaker 2: the single white female storyline, which was which was crazy.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I watched it recently and I kind of
Speaker 2: forgotten some of it, and I was like, oh, yeah
Speaker 2: that she totally tells me, like, you know, she's just
Speaker 2: getting out of you know, the rehab, and she's trying
Speaker 2: to get her life together, and you know you should
Speaker 2: probably just give her some space. And and so I
Speaker 2: will say I was probably taking the high road as
Speaker 2: the med student.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got your like scruples back for a moment,
Speaker 1: the high road.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't be dating a patient. But now I'm going
Speaker 2: to let her, you know, become her best self by
Speaker 2: me not being part of it. And yeah, and then
Speaker 2: that was that was the end.
Speaker 3: Very Yeah, Very you made a big impact. We liked
Speaker 3: Kelly and Greg together and we wanted to see more
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 2: I wish I would have and I wish I wish
Speaker 2: I would have thought through my hair back in the
Speaker 2: day on that I watched it. I'm like what was
Speaker 2: I thinking. It's like this crazy weird but I guess
Speaker 2: that was.
Speaker 1: The thinking the same thing. Yeah, my hair, you look back, geez. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was it all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's great. I yeah, I lucked out because
Speaker 2: it was all so nerve wracking because I had obviously,
Speaker 2: we had our scenes Jenny, but then I had some
Speaker 2: party scenes where I had to walk in and it
Speaker 2: was the entire cast and I was just like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, oh my god, it's such a dork. But
Speaker 2: I remember it's when your brother Tory, well, when Randy
Speaker 2: Forget his character got and passed out, and.
Speaker 1: Oh when you come through the door and somebody makes
Speaker 1: you say a poem or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian had the camera and he's filmed
Speaker 2: me on like he goes, I have a message, and
Speaker 2: I was, and I forget. It was like rose and
Speaker 2: revelized it was something something and you have birthday to
Speaker 2: you or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know you, but happy birthday to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I just remember being unsetty. He got
Speaker 2: yeah he was drunk. He was drinking off the side,
Speaker 2: and then I came over. I go, is the way
Speaker 2: I'm a med student?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: You did? Thank god you were there, Kelly call nine
Speaker 1: one one.
Speaker 2: I think you said I didn't been the guy. It
Speaker 2: was helping out there. But and I remember, yeah, we
Speaker 2: had the bulling scene that we shot down in the
Speaker 2: valley and then yeah, and then that's when Tara kind
Speaker 2: of started also kind of like grabbing my arm, and
Speaker 2: you know, it was getting a little a little weird
Speaker 2: and creepy with her Page was her name, I think
Speaker 2: page Page.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had fun though, I think that that even
Speaker 1: though it was weird and icky, we had fun doing it.
Speaker 2: It was a great I mean a great story for
Speaker 2: back then. I mean that was such a great, you know, lifetime,
Speaker 2: single white female kind of story. Yeah, it's just everybody
Speaker 2: loved and but yeah, I just kind of faded off.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to even think the last scene like that
Speaker 2: I was even seen. I don't remember the exact last
Speaker 2: time on camera, but it was probably that Tara saying
Speaker 2: something to me, because I don't think I do you remember, Jane.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I called, like I didn't have
Speaker 2: I didn't have a formal.
Speaker 1: Like flowers to be bye. Well, I didn't send him flowers, Tara.
Speaker 1: Tara sent him flowers from me. Oh, saying it's over,
Speaker 1: and then he sends her flower. She sends Kelly flowers
Speaker 1: from him. It says it's over. Yeah, yeah, so it's
Speaker 1: a double flower.
Speaker 2: By the way, I remember this very clearly, exactly what
Speaker 2: you're doing now. We all did Tara, Tara, tart We
Speaker 2: did it all we did. Do you go so Tar, No,
Speaker 2: it's Tara, Okay, try it again, Tara No, Tara.

Speaker 1: think it was Tara. I honestly don't know. I said
