Speaker 1: Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney Thorne Smith.
Speaker 2: And Daphne's Aniga and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome back to Still the Place. You're back
Speaker 1: with the parts of the Amazing Heather lack cler Well,
Speaker 1: she's got silly because the storylines got so crazy and
Speaker 1: silly that to argue Minutia, it's like, that's your problem, right, like,
Speaker 1: and you have your phone and I go where it's
Speaker 1: my phone?
Speaker 3: It's in your boot, yeah, as I normally keep it there.
Speaker 1: My thing was Amanda Woodlake like, can you walk from
Speaker 1: here to hear? Do you need motivation? I feel like,
Speaker 1: does it get me home sooner?
Speaker 2: It's like Josie said she if she had her last
Speaker 2: her close up, She's in her sweats to get out.
Speaker 1: She wore her clothes home. She literally ran to her
Speaker 1: car just in the back of the door.
Speaker 2: My version of that was never sign out, I go
Speaker 2: sign out for me by because it was late.
Speaker 4: I just remember that sign out for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah I did that too. Ye.
Speaker 3: So Heather Avo has she ever seen.
Speaker 4: Does she do it? Their kids say, we know you
Speaker 4: were big in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Oh no, she never says that. She's so cute when
Speaker 1: she's going to go for her interviews for schools for
Speaker 1: a doctorate. She says, oh, I'm just like, go are
Speaker 1: you okay? She's well, I've got a little anxiety, so
Speaker 1: this is what I do. And so she crochetes and
Speaker 1: stuff for toys. That's so sweet. She's so sweet, And
Speaker 1: I go, well, remember I said, you know, pick an
Speaker 1: actress you like and just act like them, like Lively.
Speaker 1: And she's not getting the best. So she goes, I'm
Speaker 1: just going to pretend i'm you.
Speaker 4: Oh to labor.
Speaker 1: That's nice. My kid doesn't like to watch it because
Speaker 1: it's not me, so it's confusing. Like I remember watching
Speaker 1: Two and a half Men, So he's like, well, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to see an episode. So we're watching. He
Speaker 1: starts looking comfortable and I was like, do not like
Speaker 1: seeing mommy as a drunken horse. Not watch this? But
Speaker 1: it's it's confusing, right right, So she probably would watch
Speaker 1: you on Melrose this bitchy horror. I was a drunken horror.
Speaker 1: You were a bitchy horse. Very nice? Uh and not
Speaker 1: like it? Well, she likes you're her lovely mom.
Speaker 3: Normally, she likes that she's different. Apparently calms her down guys.
Speaker 1: She know an, that's my mom, so proud. Who are
Speaker 1: you going out with? No, she's she's I don't think
Speaker 1: she's interested, No interesting archite. She loves her, that's you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she loves every episode that I should say, like her
Speaker 1: be a little too serious.
Speaker 5: But it's consistent with all of our experience, Like none
Speaker 5: of our kids are interested in watching it just feels.
Speaker 1: Weird, it's dated. But what's interesting about rewatching it is
Speaker 1: the fashion is back, like it would have been weird,
Speaker 1: but now it's some of it's really back in style.
Speaker 1: Like I'm wearing these ridiculous pleated pants. I want to say,
Speaker 1: let me tell you from my experience, those pictures aren't
Speaker 1: going to age well. But you wore, Amanda, wore really
Speaker 1: tailored stuff. I think you had a better sense because
Speaker 1: you've been working longer. What was flattering on you? Like
Speaker 1: your first episode and I've got on pleated pants and
Speaker 1: a big sweater. I think they were trying to make
Speaker 1: me look west and virginal and we were in this
Speaker 1: power suit.
Speaker 4: That's what I meant in West and virginal.
Speaker 1: I don't think like I would never let anyone put
Speaker 1: me in that now because it's kind of top heavy.
Speaker 1: You don't put bottom heavy and top bavy, Like I
Speaker 1: would never let that happen now, But I think at
Speaker 1: the time I was like, is it good?
Speaker 6: Okay, me too, like this, this is the story, Okay,
Speaker 6: do it whatever, Heather, When the show was really huge,
Speaker 6: do you have any memories of like fan interactions, some
Speaker 6: crazy stuff or anything.
Speaker 1: People were really nice and they called me head of Lockwood.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 1: I always in the airports of Wood. No, people were
Speaker 1: really nice. I remember not really being in the moment.
Speaker 1: I think we worked so much and I wasn't really
Speaker 1: taking it in and so like if now, if anything
Speaker 1: happened like that, I think I really enjoy it more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we worked too much. I think when we'd
Speaker 1: all go to the upfronts and stuff like that, that
Speaker 1: was fun. We'd be together that that was fun. Then
Speaker 1: you get to see how many people like loved the show.
Speaker 1: That was crazy. It was crazy and fun.
Speaker 2: You have a memory of when you first noticed it
Speaker 2: was a hit, because to that point we were working
Speaker 2: so much out in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't far away. Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 5: Until I didn't we do like Planet Hollywood, or hard Rick.
Speaker 5: We didn't do stuff like that, like we did a
Speaker 5: big appearance things that was fun that to me was out.
Speaker 3: Just yeah that was I.
Speaker 5: Mean it was before cell phone, so we didn't have
Speaker 5: that sort of regular exposure. But when we were together
Speaker 5: and we had those appearances like whatever.
Speaker 1: That that felt like huge.
Speaker 5: Did it feel a huge I mean it felt huge
Speaker 5: to me because I was like it was all new
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, did it?
Speaker 3: It felt huge too?
Speaker 1: Did I did something like that with Dynasty where I wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was Joan Collins and then Evans and John Forstyth
Speaker 1: got all the acknowledgments and we were just like on
Speaker 1: the outskirts. So I wasn't really a part of it,
Speaker 1: but I watched it and that it was like Melose's place,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't really in it.
Speaker 4: But was that your first show or first acting ever?
Speaker 1: Riot? Little things, little things like eight is enough and
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Enough kind of remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so no, I mean to be a part
Speaker 1: of and this was the first thing. Kay, you can't
Speaker 1: have perspective when you're in it that We talk about
Speaker 1: that a lot, especially now that we're all friends and
Speaker 1: it's like we were so overworked. We were so tired
Speaker 1: that you can't step back and say this is a
Speaker 1: special time. You're like, well, this is what I'm doing now.
Speaker 1: Like I look back and I wish i'd known that,
Speaker 1: how specially it was to fly on a private jet
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, because I guess this is what
Speaker 1: I do now, And it's like, no, it was like
Speaker 1: this crazy moment in time I wish. But it all
Speaker 1: happens at once. You don't get to sort of parse
Speaker 1: it out, like I like something like that once a month,
Speaker 1: but we were so once a month, I like to
Speaker 1: go everything right, and we were so tired, and we
Speaker 1: were together fourteen hours today like you the friends guys
Speaker 1: go got together and watch the show. It's like we
Speaker 1: were working one Rice was working at all times right
Speaker 1: right like we were. There was never a time we
Speaker 1: all develops. It was even crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh it is crazy that meanwhile everyone's having the
Speaker 2: Melrose parties and you know remember those.
Speaker 4: It was huge everyone.
Speaker 1: I went to some I think it was I don't
Speaker 1: even know, someplace in like Hemrosa Beach or something like that,
Speaker 1: and they had a thing that had Melrose place this
Speaker 1: and on each table and I'm like what it was.
Speaker 1: It was like during the day, I went with my
Speaker 1: friend and I was, really, you guys have these I
Speaker 1: had no idea, and.
Speaker 2: Then they looked at you, and they look at the
Speaker 2: coaster and they look at you and they're like, wait,
Speaker 2: is right.
Speaker 1: Fresh fry.
Speaker 5: Everyone who's in here we've all said the same thing,
Speaker 5: like we wish we had sort of better perspective and
Speaker 5: stuff at the time, Like it was just it was
Speaker 5: so hard.
Speaker 1: To I wonder if I could have handled it though,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't really process what's happening. There was a
Speaker 5: Halloween and we were leaving work, and it was we
Speaker 5: were shooting in October and it was Halloween. Somebody from work,
Speaker 5: I think their costume was going to be Sydney for Halloween.
Speaker 5: Costume from work from art, I think like somebody from
Speaker 5: the crew or something like, they were going to Halloween
Speaker 5: and they were going to be Sidney. I just remembered
Speaker 5: feeling like that was so I didn't understand understand.
Speaker 3: It felt really strange. They went in the wardrobe tailer.
Speaker 3: You're saying, right, something they.
Speaker 5: Or just like I don't know, just it was just
Speaker 5: not being able to grasp that that.
Speaker 1: Was big, big, enough to be a costume.
Speaker 5: You know, it just felt like that's not even enough
Speaker 5: to be a costume, Like people wouldn't know what you
Speaker 5: are or who.
Speaker 1: You are whatever, but you had no idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like not having that we really.
Speaker 1: Were in a bubble bubble really in Santa Clara. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think that kept us, like, for how big
Speaker 1: a hit it was, we stayed really sane. I think
Speaker 1: the combination that what I said about you coming in
Speaker 1: is like the star of the show and being so
Speaker 1: down to earth. You set such a good tone because
Speaker 1: that was as at the start of the show, I
Speaker 1: walked in as a guest star. But honestly, I think
Speaker 1: if you hadn't come in, I'm thinking what a lucky
Speaker 1: break that was that it was you all of uspt
Speaker 1: for all of us, but that it was you because
Speaker 1: your attitude, You're so grounded and so lovely, And I
Speaker 1: think maybe that was a time when egos were starting
Speaker 1: to sort of tip over, and if we'd become a
Speaker 1: hit and hadn't had that example of how to be
Speaker 1: I think there were a couple of people who really
Speaker 1: would have spun off the rails, but you look like
Speaker 1: an idiot spinning off the rail of the showroom. But
Speaker 1: I'm thinking there were some people who probably would have
Speaker 1: spun off. But you just look ridiculous. Like they say
Speaker 1: that about NYPD Blue, that Dennis France was so lovely
Speaker 1: and grounded like you, but he was so amazing that
Speaker 1: he sort of kept a lid on everybody. And it's
Speaker 1: true I didn't. But he's another person people talk about
Speaker 1: like they talk about you, which is just this grounded, lovely,
Speaker 1: generous person. He really I got to work with him,
Speaker 1: that's exact did well.
Speaker 4: The two of you must have been like a total balance.
Speaker 1: Nice, just little hearts rainbows. Well, and I worked with
Speaker 1: Peter Strauss, it was oh yeah in this movie. It
Speaker 1: was a what did they call him at that time?
Speaker 1: It was a movie the Week, but it was a
Speaker 1: mini series mini series. Yeah, yeah, Priscilla, I don't have
Speaker 1: the name just thrown out there. Era she was she
Speaker 1: was lived in Dallas and she Yeah.
Speaker 2: Any storylines that were like crazy out of this, like
Speaker 2: this is ridiculous kind of thing, or you just went with.
Speaker 1: It a lot of them. Okay, this is what this
Speaker 1: is so funny. I mean to me, when Michael was
Speaker 1: looking to hire me for Spin City, this is what
Speaker 1: he says. He says, you know what we were talking about?
Speaker 1: I go and he said, how about Heather Locklear? And
Speaker 1: they go, oh, can she do comedy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the answer is yes, Michael D.
Speaker 1: Fox. Yeah, it's like the blowing up of the building
Speaker 1: and we're all surviving. I thought it was outrageous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the phone in the boot.
Speaker 4: That's where's in your boot?
Speaker 1: Of course, how much might am I coming out with
Speaker 1: my phone when something's going on? Yeah, because I go,
Speaker 1: I didn't come out of the door because then the
Speaker 1: next thing, but also, how would your phone work? Do
Speaker 1: we have cell phones?
Speaker 5: Then cordless phone and it wasn't even a cell phone
Speaker 5: or was it a self.
Speaker 1: Cordless phone was connected to the phone that blew up.
Speaker 3: It's all rair.
Speaker 1: We have to reshoot the scene.
Speaker 5: To rewatch the scene, do it a castaic For some reason,
Speaker 5: I think I was going around trying to warn people
Speaker 5: because Kimberly had tied me up in the laundry room
Speaker 5: or something like all this stuff so whatever can. But
Speaker 5: then and then she comes out and she pushes the
Speaker 5: button and we're all in various states of y. I
Speaker 5: just remember when they had to go around and shoot
Speaker 5: close ups like you're on the stairs and we're on
Speaker 5: the ground and whatever. And they had crew members like
Speaker 5: throwing rubble at us, so it looked like.
Speaker 3: It was like kind of like cardboard rubble. It was,
Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't like but it was like followers.
Speaker 1: My god, I think. But I got the shoe, the
Speaker 1: phone in the shoe, I think because it was maybe
Speaker 1: the next season. So they ended with it blowing up ah,
Speaker 1: and I go, I didn't have a phone in my hand,
Speaker 1: it's in your boots.
Speaker 3: When we started to right convenient, maybe that's.
Speaker 1: When the phones came out, I got.
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember that purses were annoyings.
Speaker 1: Were an issue of where we're going to set it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they give you anything. Didn't weigh.
Speaker 4: This one or this one.
Speaker 5: You know, you know you won't be carrying sunglasses because
Speaker 5: we don't own some glasses place.
Speaker 2: Super Blinding came on as Sydney a few a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. She comes on chewing them, smoking a cigarette,
Speaker 2: chain smoking a cigarette, hats what else?
Speaker 4: You broke all the rules.
Speaker 3: And we were in sunglasses.
Speaker 4: No one else smoked in the damn show.
Speaker 1: And when we had our photo shoot for the podcast
Speaker 1: and we're out at a pool and dap peoples sunglasses
Speaker 1: are like no sunglasses, Like even now, people are wearing
Speaker 1: sunglasses throughout the whole.
Speaker 4: I mean we're here in La. This is like sunglass city.
Speaker 1: You know. I do see a lot of shows with sunglasses.
Speaker 2: They were through I think more now you know they
Speaker 2: were just plus there were Aaron spelling rules.
Speaker 4: Did you ever come up against that word?
Speaker 1: Couldn't say yes nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then you notice your skirts getting shorter because you
Speaker 2: got some pretty short skirts.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can almost feel my crack while you're sitting
Speaker 1: down because it goes exposed. Yeah, I got you're exposed.
Speaker 4: So did they see your old granny underwear?
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a reason hose then, No, I
Speaker 1: don't think you wore panty hose, did you? We didn't
Speaker 1: wear panty I don't remember. I was trying to remember
Speaker 1: for that actolutely not. No, you didn't. I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you you did not dynasty.
Speaker 2: Pantyhose.
Speaker 1: Nylons, But you were nylons.
Speaker 5: You were nominated like for a Golden Globe a couple
Speaker 5: of times for.
Speaker 1: Time Place, and that's how high the standards were, right,
Speaker 1: really got times place.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, she did it, and then you got to
Speaker 4: for Spin City.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also for Spin City. I'm like, You've had
Speaker 5: so many wonderful things happen, and.
Speaker 1: Like noamis I think we got a People's Choice Award
Speaker 1: as something, Yeah, like a server for the people.
Speaker 3: There was a surfboard for that.
Speaker 5: Is that a surfboard is in the People's Choice of surfboard.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We didn't.
Speaker 2: Relate to us for some bizarre reason because there was
Speaker 2: a young show.
Speaker 1: Remember when they had thirty something, Yeah, so differently written, yes,
Speaker 1: but this was a twenty something yeah, so nice.
Speaker 4: What about Darren? Did he ever talk to you, come
Speaker 4: to set, talk to you about story things?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Darren and Grant and I we're in
Speaker 1: New York. I'm wonder if someone else is with this.
Speaker 1: I think it was just felt like it was just
Speaker 1: the three of us, and somehow I heard about the Vault,
Speaker 1: which is like a sex place, and so I'm like, we.
Speaker 4: Got it where I was going, and so you went there.
Speaker 1: The three of you got to go, and so we
Speaker 1: go and that's I mean, there's it's like bankers and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, who get paddled. They go on a
Speaker 1: stage like where a model would walk, and the guy
Speaker 1: walks and a dominatrix spank him on the ass as
Speaker 1: they bend over, deep deep, and there's one guy who's
Speaker 1: like no pants on but a jacket, and he's you
Speaker 1: know when dogs scrape their butt because there's poopy on him.
Speaker 1: The guy's doing that, like scraping. That's stage. I was
Speaker 1: just across the room. Yeah, and then Grant and I
Speaker 1: are walking around, not sure where Darren is at this time,
Speaker 1: maybe he's got but so Grand and I are looking
Speaker 1: because there's this people having sex behind this window and
Speaker 1: we're like this, and then people are coming up around
Speaker 1: Grant and I staring at us and we're looking. We're like,
Speaker 1: we're not We're not doing that. Start taking off our
Speaker 1: clothes and this is so bid. Yeah, this is New York,
Speaker 1: but now it's in a different place. When I moved there,
Speaker 1: when you looked at up, you're like, I want to
Speaker 1: go back. No, my friends always pretty cellphone camera right,
Speaker 1: Like we're lucky because we were I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: very lucky that I was famous in a time when
Speaker 1: you weren't watched all the time, right, Like Andrew and
Speaker 1: I when we were dating, We could go, we could
Speaker 1: put on a baseball cap and go out. It wasn't
Speaker 1: the sense of being on camera all the time. That's
Speaker 1: really crazy. Yeah, but it was a pretty mild time
Speaker 1: there to have something like this compared to today. There
Speaker 1: was no social media, Like we were really private out there.
Speaker 1: We didn't really like you said, we didn't really know.
Speaker 1: You'd kind of come into town. People would recognize me, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess this little thing I'm doing out in Santa Clarita,
Speaker 1: something's happening with it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that trip to the Vault would have definitely made that.
Speaker 4: Would have been all over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have gotten some pressed.
Speaker 4: I remember to that not at all. I'm not comparing
Speaker 4: this to at all the Vault story.
Speaker 1: Because, like.
Speaker 2: Told you what the next week, Okay, I just remember during.
Speaker 4: Milros I was an acting class, or maybe just after just.
Speaker 2: Before anyway, I was doing this scene and so I
Speaker 2: went into do you remember that circus circus bookstore in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: West Hollywood, Yes, and in the back and it.
Speaker 2: Was like this wasn't like sex books or something, or
Speaker 2: a sex shop or some anyway.
Speaker 1: There's an Unsanta Monica boulevard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was doing research for a scene in a
Speaker 3: very sure just acting class is what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: get to do.
Speaker 4: But I was recognized at like twelve, right after my class.
Speaker 4: I got over twelve.
Speaker 2: I go in there and I was so excited to
Speaker 2: do some research and I'm like in there and someone
Speaker 2: like recognizes me, Oh, aren't you Daphning.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, it's one in the morning and.
Speaker 4: I'm here at the sex store thing.
Speaker 2: It was just a it was you guys, don't remember
Speaker 2: circus Circus, I remember the.
Speaker 3: Marquis, I don't. I never knew what it was.
Speaker 1: I never went in No right, Laura.
Speaker 3: Very observant.
Speaker 1: They were interesting anyway, sex toy, sex show people are
Speaker 1: over there, so it was it was like a.
Speaker 4: Videos or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a sex store, but you're noticed. But the
Speaker 2: videos did the most awkward time.
Speaker 4: And I was trying in this class.
Speaker 2: You got the video that I'm doing a sing from
Speaker 2: playing Marilyn.
Speaker 4: I have to whatever it was getting recognized.
Speaker 3: It's a very Daphne's my twin sister.
Speaker 1: There's one of our fan questions. I love this question.
Speaker 1: Did you feel pressure to rescue the show from cancelation?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if they said that to you show.
Speaker 1: It's all on you. Yeah, yeah, I have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with I.
Speaker 4: Thought you were there before.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I was there for. Did you
Speaker 1: even know that the show was kind of limping along
Speaker 1: or you thought they didn't even nobody they didn't tell
Speaker 1: you except for audience, I wouldn't have done it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did not know you totally.
Speaker 4: Now we know right now, we know very well.
Speaker 1: Go down. It's because you brought her on and we
Speaker 1: cands well, I'm the way it's moving so fast in
Speaker 1: your first two episodes. I can't imagine how quickly you
Speaker 1: turn from But it's probably something about you and Billy,
Speaker 1: because I keep telling Billy I don't want you guys
Speaker 1: to date, and you keep asking me if I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's fine, and then I go home and
Speaker 1: yell at him for doing it. It's very very confused
Speaker 1: there a little, it was a little it was a
Speaker 1: little confused manipulation. But you're still Amanda is still so lovely.
Speaker 4: I thought you were very Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever watched the show that much
Speaker 1: or obvious clearly because we didn't have time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're studying.
Speaker 2: So you don't remember kind of going these like the
Speaker 2: scripts that you started to get to, like we're wow,
Speaker 2: and now I'm causing a fight.
Speaker 3: Now I'm being.
Speaker 2: Really and did you ever like go Jesus, I have
Speaker 2: to say this, like some of your one liners are
Speaker 2: you know?
Speaker 1: I was so scared to be in front of people,
Speaker 1: like when I have to give speeches for about a
Speaker 1: D and D or whatever? A D and D? What
Speaker 1: about D and D? And there's people there at that
Speaker 1: and it's like weird speak. It's not normal, like normal
Speaker 1: people talking.
Speaker 5: And you have to be such an authority. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: that was made me crazy. So not in your like
Speaker 5: regular or no.
Speaker 1: Who you want to keep all all do it again?
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't get that and do that.
Speaker 1: I want to keep keep keep keep by one take one,
Speaker 1: take twenty times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it seems was it hard to be mean
Speaker 2: constantly to everyone to say these sharp things like to
Speaker 2: Alice that wasn't hard.
Speaker 3: That was fun?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 5: And then we've talked about like wishing that while we
Speaker 5: were on the show we all had sort of better
Speaker 5: perspective or whatever. But was is there any that you
Speaker 5: might say to your younger self? Does it bring you
Speaker 5: back to how old you were and what your mindset
Speaker 5: was than at thirty.
Speaker 1: I should have known better. I don't know, Like what's
Speaker 1: wrong with me?
Speaker 5: Well, you look like a young twenty something beautiful, you know,
Speaker 5: we're all just so youthful and whatever, just like it
Speaker 5: feels like another version of ourselves right right.
Speaker 2: But to her point, is there anything that you would
Speaker 2: say to your younger self, regardless of how old you were,
Speaker 2: knowing what you know now and being the age that
Speaker 2: you are, and.
Speaker 1: Like this stuff of just being so nervous or I'd
Speaker 1: go back to my room and study the lines, like
Speaker 1: I couldn't make a mistake or something like that, like having.
Speaker 2: That Oh, that's a question I want to ask you.
Speaker 2: Was it hard to have not only that kind of pressure,
Speaker 2: but just the pressure of being Amanda, of being Heather
Speaker 2: of none of that was too much for you or uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be good, and I just wanted
Speaker 1: to be good the next day and the next day,
Speaker 1: I just and I was grateful. I was really grateful.
Speaker 1: I just wish I had paid attention to what was
Speaker 1: going on around and like you know, with like caring
Speaker 1: about what you're going through, you're going through, you're you know,
Speaker 1: not just being so I hope it's okay, or I
Speaker 1: hope I'm good or whatever like that, hope I know
Speaker 1: my lines. I just like to be more personable with
Speaker 1: everybody and know their lives rather than just to give
Speaker 1: memorize your lives, go home and do this and then
Speaker 1: rather than just thinking about my lilf. So there was
Speaker 1: so much to do, thirty three episodes a year, like,
Speaker 1: it was long, very intense, and we noticed, like as
Speaker 1: we watch it. So I was on the first episodes
Speaker 1: and I was beating myself up, and they're like, be
Speaker 1: kinder to yourself. I like, I can't wait till you're
