Speaker 1: It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi you guys. Wow,
Speaker 1: So Christmas is over. That's few. We are almost towards
Speaker 1: the end of and we're super excited. This is nine
Speaker 1: O two one O m G. And I'm Tori Spelling.
Speaker 1: I am here with my best friend Jenny Garth and
Speaker 1: our friends Sisson E. Hi guys, Hi, Hi. Oh Happy
Speaker 1: almost New Year, you guys. Oh? Who's doggie? That is Musso? Musso? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: his best friend is Jenny's dog his best friend Buddy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Buddy's here asleep. They haven't seen each other in a while,
Speaker 1: and when they see each other they sniff butts and
Speaker 1: lick wieners. It's super cute because I never do that
Speaker 1: to Jenn when I see her. That one time one time,
Speaker 1: I was like, am I supposed to give you like
Speaker 1: a motor boat or something like? Is that the equivalent
Speaker 1: of when the dogs smell each other's butts? I don't
Speaker 1: know what a motor boat is, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that I really want to open that, like when you
Speaker 1: go to movies, And how do you know that? I've
Speaker 1: never heard that? Am I alone? I guess I'm alone here.
Speaker 1: I didn't I'm the only one to say. It's something
Speaker 1: like girls would never want boys to do. But it's
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, it's like you so gross. Well we
Speaker 1: are on episode six of Beverly Hills, NANA two and oh,
Speaker 1: and this episode is called higher Education and it first
Speaker 1: aired on November nineteen ninety. I was a good year.
Speaker 1: Good year. You know, we're like fine wines. Here's a
Speaker 1: little synopsis for all y'all. Brandon's favorite subject, American history,
Speaker 1: becomes an issue when he continuously kids sees and considers
Speaker 1: alternative study aids, much to Andrea's chagrin. Brenda finds herself
Speaker 1: drawn to the resident high school bad boy legend, Dylan McKay.
Speaker 1: Do you say chagrins, I said chagrin, chagrin. I've never
Speaker 1: heard that word same. I believe chagrin means like, you know,
Speaker 1: she's not that happy about it. In this context, Andrea
Speaker 1: was not very happy with Brands not studying with her
Speaker 1: and going in quote unquote studying with Steve, which wasn't
Speaker 1: really studying, right, I was cheating a lot of pool time. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: let's do this. Jump right into it. Let's jump right
Speaker 1: into it. Okay, Can I just say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I you know, I like the fashion. Uh, so we
Speaker 1: get some peach pit love. Here we see the outside
Speaker 1: of the peach pit, a lot of like inside of
Speaker 1: the peach but they didn't have peach but uniforms yet.
Speaker 1: You know, they have the cute little white button downs
Speaker 1: with the rolled up sleeves. Will Brandon had his sleeves
Speaker 1: rolled up, of course, because he don't show off his
Speaker 1: like muscles, his little dream his dreamy muscles. Um, but
Speaker 1: isn't that crazy? It was. It was much more so
Speaker 1: like a fifties diner going for that vibe and like
Speaker 1: old school, like Marty McFly, like for the diner in
Speaker 1: Back to the Future. Yeah, definitely like that. This was.
Speaker 1: This was. I was a little confused though, because in
Speaker 1: the very beginning of the episode, Brand is walking and
Speaker 1: he calls Andrea Andrea, and I didn't catch it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he called her Andrea, and then in the next scene
Speaker 1: he calls her Andrea. So I, as a viewer, I
Speaker 1: don't know who he's talking about. I think you're the
Speaker 1: same person. That's a continuity issue if there ever was one.
Speaker 1: It's true. When did you guys film I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: watching all these scenes on every day of every month.
Speaker 1: But like it wasn't this an active high school, wasn't
Speaker 1: the school? Yeah, we definitely. We shot at Torrance High
Speaker 1: School and the school was in session, um just like
Speaker 1: a normal high school, and um are like, you know,
Speaker 1: base camp was set up out front like it was
Speaker 1: like a zoo. We were we were animals on display
Speaker 1: in a zoo. And we would come out and try
Speaker 1: to get like the scenes done between you know, their
Speaker 1: class bells or whatever. But it's a lot of schedule
Speaker 1: and if it didn't, if it overlapped and we heard
Speaker 1: the bell, we just had to like freeze. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then and then they were all the kids would come
Speaker 1: out and stare at us and point and laugh. They're
Speaker 1: all gonna laugh at you. Well, I'm sure at first
Speaker 1: they were like what is the show? Who? What is?
Speaker 1: You didn't know anything? And then obviously after they figured
Speaker 1: it out, I probably thought it was so cool that
Speaker 1: I know. I wonder if like they got cool because
Speaker 1: of it. People were like, whoa, that shows a hit
Speaker 1: and it's filmed at your high school. And at first
Speaker 1: they were like go home, and then they were like hey,
Speaker 1: So they were never in the background all the all
Speaker 1: the people you see in the scenes are extras? Are
Speaker 1: actual actors or were some of those students? No? Those
Speaker 1: are all extras for sure, Okay, okay, yeah, And they
Speaker 1: had a lot of extras on those days, thank god.
Speaker 1: And they were so rad they that, you know, extras.
Speaker 1: That's a hard job to be an extra. And we,
Speaker 1: I mean shows movies couldn't do what they do without
Speaker 1: these super talented background actors because they bring the life
Speaker 1: to the to the whole scene. And I think that
Speaker 1: so many times they get overlooked. I think there should
Speaker 1: be a category for best background actor for the and
Speaker 1: the Boys. The boys loved The Beautiful X Stress really yeah,
Speaker 1: because I guess it's like fresh and it was the nineties.
Speaker 1: You know. It was like, it doesn't matter if it's
Speaker 1: the nineties. Okay, fine, I was being nice, like it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It's like six seven episodes and they were sick of us,
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. But I feel like we would
Speaker 1: get jealous a little bit, a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: like they were our territory, Like like, yeah, if we
Speaker 1: could have if we could have peed on all the boys,
Speaker 1: we would have marked them. They were ours. I would
Speaker 1: not pee on any of them. I don't think peing
Speaker 1: for yourself. Really, yeah, I would have marked them. Those
Speaker 1: boys were ours hands off well in this episode, this
Speaker 1: is the first episode that we see the whole Brenda
Speaker 1: Dylan I start to that starts with the spark between
Speaker 1: Dylan and Kelly. You see that. It was so telling
Speaker 1: of the future. I liked ones. I know what, don't
Speaker 1: give it away for people that are watching for the
Speaker 1: first time. This is I mean we did at thirty
Speaker 1: year old episode. That's the thing, Tori. We actually did
Speaker 1: get some d m s of of listeners that are
Speaker 1: saying that we're spoiling some things in future episode because
Speaker 1: they're watching for the first time. But you're right, since
Speaker 1: it was first it was that at the lockers. I
Speaker 1: remember that scene when Dylan says, no, the girls are
Speaker 1: like which to really really important question, which do you
Speaker 1: prefer blondes or brunettes? And he said he's always been
Speaker 1: a blonde guy, right, he says it right to Brenda's face.
Speaker 1: I know that was painful and for me that brought
Speaker 1: that like triggered me. I don't know about you, ladies,
Speaker 1: but like he was just fucking with her, like right
Speaker 1: out of the gate, just like I was triggered for
Speaker 1: you because I was like, you are his well, Brenda
Speaker 1: is his in in the By the end of this episode,
Speaker 1: you really see that that's kind of the direction that
Speaker 1: the show is going to get Brenda and Dylan together.
Speaker 1: I feel like the feelings that she had with wanting
Speaker 1: to change your color something that was just so relatable
Speaker 1: to a teenage girl. But you don't have you want.
Speaker 1: The grass is always greener. When you have blonde hair,
Speaker 1: you want brown hair. When you have straight hair, you
Speaker 1: want curly hair. To this day, like you know, I'm
Speaker 1: in my forties, I still go through like I just
Speaker 1: wish I had blue eyes, Like do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? It's that thing. There's certain things that you're
Speaker 1: just like, you know, we keep waiting for some surgery
Speaker 1: to change your eye color. It'll happen in our lifetime, ladies. Yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: So Brenda goes and for something. This is a life lesson. People.
Speaker 1: Never ask your friend to dye your hair just after it.
Speaker 1: It will always end badly unless they're like, you know, professional,
Speaker 1: But that was a big mistake. I'd let you do
Speaker 1: my hair, you let me take your extensions out. Once
Speaker 1: you have taken my extensions. She has it was an undertaking.
Speaker 1: She has taken out my extensions. She has put in
Speaker 1: new extensions. She has cut my hair. Yeah, have you
Speaker 1: ever done she has shaved my face. She has. I
Speaker 1: don't think you've ever reciprocated. You've tanned. You've tanned my
Speaker 1: body head to toe with your gloves. That's true friendship.
Speaker 1: I have have I cut your hair? No, but I
Speaker 1: want to cut those damn bangs. You know I want
Speaker 1: you back in banks. You need to bring him back
Speaker 1: for the podcast sake. I'm going to the bangs were
Speaker 1: like for you, I'm going to order some from the
Speaker 1: from the bangs. Nothing would make me happier. Nothing those
Speaker 1: bangs unless on this last episode, we're just like fire
Speaker 1: and on all cylinders. They were like coming out with
Speaker 1: a trajectory that I mean, did they put like a
Speaker 1: soda can under there and then just blow dry? How
Speaker 1: was it done? Just a round brush like a round brush.
Speaker 1: But that was must have been the biggest round brush
Speaker 1: ever made because he applied like really got some like depth.
Speaker 1: I was watching it with Fiona last night and she
Speaker 1: was like, wow, Mom, those are some big bangs. And
Speaker 1: then she said, and those are some big teeth, and
Speaker 1: I thought you would appreciate that. I knew she was
Speaker 1: my favorite of yours. I just knew it from the
Speaker 1: mouths of babes. And she didn't say big. She said you, wow, Mom,
Speaker 1: you have a lot of teeth. I said, I have
Speaker 1: the same number of teeth as everybody else. Were you like?
Speaker 1: Were you like? Go? Tori? Tori, she talks about my
Speaker 1: teeth a lot. No, I said, She'll be happy. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get blinding you. There's a moment when in the
Speaker 1: episode where Kelly and Dylan are coming down the stairs.
Speaker 1: We actually had Beverly email us and it's asking if
Speaker 1: you remember, Jenny, what Luke said in your ear to
Speaker 1: make a giggle? I mean, or was it just acting?
Speaker 1: I can assure you it was inappropriate. Oh really, what
Speaker 1: do you say something like that? I love it. I
Speaker 1: can assure you it was completely inappropriate. Do you remember, No,
Speaker 1: I don't remember all the inappropriate things he said to me, Tori,
Speaker 1: can you speculate? What do you think? Well? And like
Speaker 1: a whispery like breathy warm right in your ear? He
Speaker 1: was probably like and then said something inappropriate that made
Speaker 1: her blush and giggle and laugh and her heart pound.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was really good at doing that.
Speaker 1: And he loved he got he Yeah, he would get
Speaker 1: her all riled up like all, oh giggly, you're giggly
Speaker 1: now look at her. I know, I know. We should
Speaker 1: talk about the Brandon part. We should talk about Brandon
Speaker 1: and um, what's the teacher's name? Mr Dunn Denzel, Mr Washington,
Speaker 1: Mr Dunne, interesting name d Mr Danzel, Mr. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: get into that in one second. We have to take
Speaker 1: a break. Okay, can't gay? So now can we talk
Speaker 1: about Mr d Now we can? Okay? Good? Um, he
Speaker 1: was really cute. I have a thing for older guys though,
Speaker 1: and he was. He was a daughter when married to
Speaker 1: a younger man. For your character in real life, now,
Speaker 1: I like, I love I love the elders. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about you've only dated younger men? Well yeah,
Speaker 1: but not like to Oh you mean just like like
Speaker 1: I appreciate I love h Okay, I get that. I
Speaker 1: know what she means. But he was a rough teacher.
Speaker 1: He was pretty pretty. Um I had one lady school.
Speaker 1: Did you ever cheat? Did you ever cheat? And one thing, guys,
Speaker 1: I hate to admit it, but I did there was
Speaker 1: a final and someone got the test and a bunch
Speaker 1: of us did it it, and yeah, we had to
Speaker 1: go in and individually got caught. And they were like,
Speaker 1: if you admit you did it, you're you know, you're
Speaker 1: going to fail and have to do it over, but
Speaker 1: you won't get expelled from school. And in fact, I
Speaker 1: think I was doing nine O two one oh at
Speaker 1: the time, so I was barely there and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to like graduate and yeah, so that that was rough.
Speaker 1: But it was really scary because someone promised us it
Speaker 1: was like an old test. It was like an old test,
Speaker 1: and they were like, this is the new test. And
Speaker 1: because it was an old test and like six different
Speaker 1: people had the exact same answers, they were able to
Speaker 1: like call it. It was so scary. Not worth it,
Speaker 1: Like worth it that takes years off your life, huh.
Speaker 1: But you can really see how important, um their g
Speaker 1: p A was to these kids. Oh my gosh. They
Speaker 1: were so stressed out about their g p A and
Speaker 1: like Andrea was so odd about her grades and Brandon
Speaker 1: was so worried about his. I felt so stressed out
Speaker 1: for them. Steve was so not worried about his grades.
Speaker 1: With his character he wasn't, but he was. He was going.
Speaker 1: He was pretty sure that he was going to go
Speaker 1: to USC. That is every confidence in himself in the
Speaker 1: right because he just felt like what his parents would
Speaker 1: buy him into it, because that's what happens. I guess
Speaker 1: when you're you get a little glimpse into him get
Speaker 1: brought into college. I don't know, does that happen. I've
Speaker 1: never heard a story about that. Turns out that's happened before. Interesting,
Speaker 1: but we get a little glimpse into Steve's character, I
Speaker 1: think a little bit more you find out he's like
Speaker 1: both his parents are divorced multiple times, and he was
Speaker 1: almost shocked that Brandon Walsh's parents were stayed together. Yea,
Speaker 1: how set them? He laughs at Brandon because he's like,
Speaker 1: are your parents still together? Like, and then it was
Speaker 1: what did he say? He was like, uh, you'll be okay,
Speaker 1: and then he like reversed it on him, comforting and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not the norm, but you're going to survive it.
Speaker 1: Like it was just so mocking. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: my parents we're still together when my dad passed away.
Speaker 1: Your parents were still together, tour same, Yeah, both of
Speaker 1: our parents together. How about you mine are still together
Speaker 1: going on fifty years almost, I think like forty six,
Speaker 1: forty seven. Maybe I love that so much. I always
Speaker 1: wanted that to be the old couple that celebrates their
Speaker 1: like seventy five anniversary together. Well, that's gonna be us.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be us, and do it okay, because yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't speculate it had to be husband and wife.
Speaker 1: Could be it could be your life wife. Can you
Speaker 1: guys please have like a seventy fifth anniversary party like that?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, we're doing it. We're
Speaker 1: doing It's going to be a good night. The toast
Speaker 1: you cris crossed your arms and drink the champagne. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. And we're going to be like in rocking,
Speaker 1: like bedazzled rocking chairs, ankers, the whole nine yards. We're
Speaker 1: so by the way, we're doing that. I'm doing that yet.
Speaker 1: But I did laugh out loud when Steve called Mr.
Speaker 1: D the hemorrhoid. I feel like Donna was a little
Speaker 1: feisty towards Mr. You were friend, and Donna's like the sweetest,
Speaker 1: like she had been defined yet, so she was just
Speaker 1: kind of like the like little like going along with it.
Speaker 1: You had a good, nice tie. You had a good
Speaker 1: line where you were like, I'm wearing both contacts on
Speaker 1: the I didn't know when to bring this up, but
Speaker 1: it's literally one of my favorite lines of Donna's from
Speaker 1: all ten years is, oh my god, this is so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I think I'm wearing both contacts in the same eye
Speaker 1: because it showed like she was so like giggly and
Speaker 1: kind of dizzy, I guess and quirky. Um. The funny
Speaker 1: thing is when we filmed it, I didn't wear contacts.
Speaker 1: I was, you know, seventeen, I guess when we did
Speaker 1: this one, and I was like, this is so weird.
Speaker 1: Does this ever happen? And no joke, this happened maybe
Speaker 1: four years ago. I was putting on my contacts and
Speaker 1: I was like, what's going on? And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm wearing the same contact wearing and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I'm wearing both contacts
Speaker 1: in the same eye. And I was like, life imitates
Speaker 1: Donna Martin at her finest. It happened. That was glorious.
Speaker 1: I felt like, Um, since you said that was a
Speaker 1: really funny line, I feel like there was another couple
Speaker 1: of really good lines in this episode. Um, that one
Speaker 1: was my favorite. There was another one, Brenda said to Brandon,
Speaker 1: excuse me for living that, remember that was such a thing.
Speaker 1: Excuse me for breathing. Excuse me for a living. And
Speaker 1: the other one was the other one was when Dylan.
Speaker 1: I'm jumping ahead of the end of the episode, but
Speaker 1: like when Dylan he comes up when he's on the
Speaker 1: motorcycle and he says, blonde, brunette, redheads, girls and tank tops.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you felt the tingliness through that scene, burn
Speaker 1: smoldering boy. He knew just what to say and always
Speaker 1: did right under the skin. Him taking off his helmet
Speaker 1: in that scene is iconic, is I That's how I
Speaker 1: remember him when I think of him in a stare
Speaker 1: like that's it. I'm picturing it right now. It's like
Speaker 1: a grained in every female's brain. And those wrinkles on
Speaker 1: his forehead he had like those great lines across his
Speaker 1: worst and the one eye like going up. I mean,
Speaker 1: is this strange? I was attracted to him at like
Speaker 1: eight years old, Like is that like completely my not
Speaker 1: at all? All? Over my wall? Like no, I wish
Speaker 1: we had those now. The same In that same scene,
Speaker 1: Brenda says to him, I like your butt. I mean
Speaker 1: you're bike. I mean you're bike. But he never had
Speaker 1: a butt, but now I'm going to look for it. No,
Speaker 1: but when she said that, Fiona was like, oh my god, Brenda,
Speaker 1: she never says the right thing. She was so like, no,
Speaker 1: why did you say that. I love being able to
Speaker 1: cringe in an episode, like when I'm watching something and
Speaker 1: just like being able to feel the energy through the
Speaker 1: TV and just like, oh, you're feeling with them. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love that. How do we get back onto Dylan again?
Speaker 1: We just keep jumping back to Brenda, and Dylan just happens.
Speaker 1: I know. I have more to say about Brandon though,
Speaker 1: because I felt like Brandon was so hard on Andrea
Speaker 1: in this epiod, so he was so like borderline her
Speaker 1: and Mrs Brandon. Brandon is like the nice guy, so
Speaker 1: why is he so he's intense? But this episode he
Speaker 1: was actually angry at people, which is very again character
Speaker 1: again with the yelling in the library, Yeah, and what's
Speaker 1: going on in that library? But I gotta get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of it. I think in your past life
Speaker 1: you really want to be a librarian apparently, because it
Speaker 1: really bothers me that they kept having fights in the library.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been in the library. It's
Speaker 1: just a teacher like he choose them out, Like could
Speaker 1: you guys ever have chewed out that way like her? No,
Speaker 1: but Brandon, I feel like that was not that was uncharacteristic.
Speaker 1: I feel like they didn't write they missed the mark. Sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was really a little bit too angry, too like
Speaker 1: hot headed, because Brandon really wasn't hot No, but maybe
Speaker 1: where maybe because we know what he is, we don't
Speaker 1: see it. But right now he's just being introduced as
Speaker 1: this character to the viewers what episode six, So he
Speaker 1: obviously evolves, but they're definitely things out. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: definitely see that like range of like when he is
Speaker 1: sweet and cute and then he gets so fiery and
Speaker 1: angry and then he gets guilty and then he is
Speaker 1: apologetic and he kind of you know, finds the meaning
Speaker 1: in it, and you know, he really did go through
Speaker 1: kind of an emotional journey in this episode. I felt like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's like trying to find himself still. I
Speaker 1: guess all of you guys are truly, but who isn't
Speaker 1: I meant in the episode, Oh yeah, but touche we
Speaker 1: just I mean, and Andrea was just really who she
Speaker 1: comes at you man, I wouldn't want to piss off Andrea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but not like scary, just like you and accurate, like
Speaker 1: she's got a point. I felt like, um, Jim the
Speaker 1: dad Mr Walsh there again in a kind of a
Speaker 1: weird helicoptery um like, hey, Musso zipping mus that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, if you've ever the screeching of Musso
Speaker 1: that goes on when because we usually take our dogs
Speaker 1: with us to work wherever we go, Buddy and Musso
Speaker 1: so they can see each other. And Musso is notorious
Speaker 1: bar yapping and anyone that comes around, he's like the
Speaker 1: guard dog and she Tori will just scream, go ahead,
Speaker 1: do it for all the listeners give him the Musso screech. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, it usually goes to are you gonna
Speaker 1: do anything? Like are you gonna saying yeah, because you'll
Speaker 1: sit there and he'll just be yapping, and the guy
Speaker 1: ever starking at will be like back like yeah, Musso musto,
Speaker 1: and they're like, are you just gonna sit there? You
Speaker 1: have to do something or you're not gonna do something?
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, oh, it's very enjoyable. Yeah, didn't
Speaker 1: it hurt, like like the core of your brain when
Speaker 1: you hear that little ball in the back of your
Speaker 1: throat Like he stopped. He stopped. He's like mibrato during
Speaker 1: bh I know someone ever he hated Brian Austin Green, Like,
Speaker 1: why did I just say Brian Austin? He did? He
Speaker 1: hated the listeners every time I come around. Remember every day,
Speaker 1: he'd be like, it's me. Every time Brian would like,
Speaker 1: Brian would say, it's me. Musso, you like me? You
Speaker 1: remember like yesterday when we did this, you just saw me.
Speaker 1: We just went through this every day. It's me. But
Speaker 1: like he was kind of like kidding and like the
Speaker 1: dry sense, but the same thing every day day and Musso.
Speaker 1: I literally at the end of the student I think
Speaker 1: Musso was just sing with him. I think he was
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I know you, buddy, but good stuff. Sorry.
Speaker 1: What were we even talking about before Musso rudely interrupted?
Speaker 1: Just the anger between everyone kind of like being up
Speaker 1: in a tizzy with all the cheating. You know, we
Speaker 1: were talking about Jim. We were talking about Jim. Oh yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: he was shame about not a helicopter. Yes, he was
Speaker 1: kind of like hovering about the grades, and I felt
Speaker 1: I felt pressured from him watching. I felt like, oh my,
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to live up to his standards.
Speaker 1: That probably was what Brandon felt like that all that
Speaker 1: extra pressure. You guys have young kids, Like your kids
Speaker 1: are still in elementary school, all of them, right, diapers
Speaker 1: so even yet, so you haven't gotten to that. But
Speaker 1: when they are in high school, yeah, yeah, when they
Speaker 1: are in high school, like things do have to start
Speaker 1: getting a little more serious if they want to go
Speaker 1: on to college and like whatever they want in their lives.
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's hard to like step back and let
Speaker 1: them handle it. But I think that Jim needed to
Speaker 1: step back, and Cindy was, you know, as always the
Speaker 1: voice of reason right there to keep him in line.
Speaker 1: While she's barbecuing. Another scene where she's barbecuing, I was like,
Speaker 1: this girl is amazing, super mom. She cooks all the time.
Speaker 1: I think that's all she did was garden and cook,
Speaker 1: garden and cook, Oh my goodness. And they would have
Speaker 1: their barbecues in the front yard or was that like
Speaker 1: that was the backyard. It's a backyard. I would always
Speaker 1: see the car like I was always confused. It was
Speaker 1: like on the side, Yeah, there was like a cart
Speaker 1: port and then that basketball cart where they the boys
Speaker 1: always played basketball was attached to the was this house
Speaker 1: owned by you guys? Like could you you guys were
Speaker 1: always filming there or no, how did you do the scenes?
Speaker 1: They we just used it like one day an episode
Speaker 1: in the beginning when we used the Walsh House a lot.
Speaker 1: We used to like when we shoot all the scenes
Speaker 1: that took place exterior of the Walsh House that day.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, so we did you hear this news? So
Speaker 1: in a previous episode. I think you said that. Now
Speaker 1: how they're just used to it and they welcome people, right,
Speaker 1: but apparently they're still mad about it. There's still like
Speaker 1: annoyed that people come there. They are because our our
Speaker 1: number one super fan, Darren Martin, who knows everything nine
Speaker 1: o two one bro knows everything about the show. He said, Uh,
Speaker 1: last time they all went there when Brian was having
Speaker 1: his podcast and they drove by, they were like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't come into They couldn't come past the street.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, well maybe they sold it to new people, didn't,
Speaker 1: didn't I hear? He said? No, Darren say that, No,
Speaker 1: it was not new owners. Maybe I might be speaking
Speaker 1: at it. I kind of remember him saying something about
Speaker 1: it was new own, new owners that weren't worn as
Speaker 1: um excited. Okay, okay that maybe yeah, No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: So it was all engines used for exterior. Any interior
Speaker 1: was in vanuy correct set my world being crushed in
Speaker 1: the bubble. Jenny refers to the box we were locked
Speaker 1: in ten years next to the porn, next to the porn,
Speaker 1: the good old day, good time, Oh my gosh. But
Speaker 1: we left when we would go to that that location though,
Speaker 1: And shoot, I loved going to that location in Altadena
Speaker 1: because it was like it was beautiful. It was like
Speaker 1: you were kind of out of l a a little bit.
Speaker 1: And it's just remember we would like sit on the
Speaker 1: front lawn in between takes and like just talk and
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'll never forget the I don't even
Speaker 1: know why this is coming up, but I'm having like
Speaker 1: this vivid memory of we were filming at the wallsh
Speaker 1: House and we were sitting on the front lawn the
Speaker 1: day the O J trial was announced, the verdict, and
Speaker 1: they had cameras in our faces and I just remember
Speaker 1: being like, don't know a motion like you don't want
Speaker 1: to have a response at all, But like I can
Speaker 1: remember us all just like sitting in there and we
Speaker 1: were like watching this old TV and like seeing what
Speaker 1: was happening. Wow, that's a good memorizy. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we all remember where we were for that. I
Speaker 1: don't long as you were there. You were sitting right
Speaker 1: next to me. Apparently I was on the Walshlan. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we talked about this, because we chatted
Speaker 1: a little bit before we started the podcast. Did we
Speaker 1: talk about Brenda's hair and the wig? We didn't. We
Speaker 1: just I just said it never let your friend do
Speaker 1: your hair. But yeah, that was a bad die job.
Speaker 1: But the like the frizziness was so accurate to what
Speaker 1: it would be like as a brunette because I tried.
Speaker 1: I dyed my hair blonde when I was in high
Speaker 1: school and I went to the grocery store and I
Speaker 1: bought the blonde box because I was like, well, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be blonde. And then it was like the picture
Speaker 1: and you guys son and it would turn your hair orange? Yes,
Speaker 1: why why do you want to be a blonde? Though?
Speaker 1: I'm curious, like what seeing that Brenda was feeling. It
Speaker 1: just felt like it was probably for a boy. It
Speaker 1: was probably probably Dylan McKay's fault. Yeah, you see a
Speaker 1: Kelly Taylor and you're just like, I want to look
Speaker 1: like her. That's so funny because I dyed my hair
Speaker 1: dark as soon as the show wrapped. I colored my
Speaker 1: hair permanent colored super dark, like dark dark, dark, darker
Speaker 1: than your hair, and why and why? Just to escape
Speaker 1: because I wanted to experience what it was like to
Speaker 1: not be a blonde like I wanted to know the
Speaker 1: different album There was a huge difference, let me tell you.
Speaker 1: But I went dark in the show. In the show, yeah,
Speaker 1: I regret that overly. I think I just feel like Donna.
Speaker 1: Donna's like a blonde like she was like, it looks
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Though as that I loved that red. I
Speaker 1: like it, it just didn't feel like Donna. I wish
Speaker 1: I hadn't married David. I wanted to remember Donna and
Speaker 1: David the way they met and so in mind, but
Speaker 1: it was like at the time, I just remember I
Speaker 1: had a manager that was like, um, you know to
Speaker 1: do things beyond nine two and oh, you need to
Speaker 1: you know, be the girl next door. You need not
Speaker 1: to be blonde and platinum, like you need brown hair
Speaker 1: and just to be taken seriously as an actress. Did
Speaker 1: it work? That didn't work out that? I feel like
Speaker 1: that was a really bad wig though on Brenda poor thing,
Speaker 1: it was really bad, yeah Champ, though she did good
Speaker 1: sport on that one. That wasn't early in the series
Speaker 1: of Dylan like, well, we have some emails and some
Speaker 1: d ms from people, which I think we should get to. Um,
Speaker 1: but let's take a break and we'll come right back. Yeah, wait,
Speaker 1: we into emails. No, yeah, you know we have a few,
Speaker 1: and I know that we've we've read one already, so
Speaker 1: I wanted to pick up this one from thank you
Speaker 1: guys for writing in like we love this right and more.
Speaker 1: We want to hear what you think about it, bad
Speaker 1: or good. We want to hear questions you have for
Speaker 1: us upcoming episodes, like let us know. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: like one that we got from Monica where she was like,
Speaker 1: can you guys not spoil anything from future seasons for example?
Speaker 1: I cannot promise that. But the good to think of
Speaker 1: like people, that's so cool that people are jumping in
Speaker 1: watching it for the first time with us just kind
Speaker 1: of like my husband is truly watching it for the
Speaker 1: first time. He's still in love. This good Okay, This
Speaker 1: one is from Karen says, how long did you have Well,
Speaker 1: there's a few questions, so we'll just break it up.
Speaker 1: How long did you have a script before shooting? Good question, Karen,
Speaker 1: very sensible question. I like it. I know. I'm actually
Speaker 1: curious too. We would get like, um, the episode. The
Speaker 1: We'll be shooting one episode and then we get the
Speaker 1: new episode, sometimes as late as the day before we
Speaker 1: started shooting. Um, but sometimes we get it like three
Speaker 1: days before we start shooting. Yeah, I mean, there were
Speaker 1: there were times when we weren't getting scripts until the
Speaker 1: day of shooting, but that was later. How do they
Speaker 1: expect you guys to memorize it, because don't you think
Speaker 1: there was like a first draft that would come out
Speaker 1: like a shooting script, and then it would change radically
Speaker 1: I know what she means, like later season. Sometimes things
Speaker 1: were rushed and there were notes and we never really
Speaker 1: got to look at the first drafts though. Remever, the
Speaker 1: first drafts were kind of not for our eyes. And
Speaker 1: then they went through and that they would do revisions
Speaker 1: what's called revisions, and they would every revision is a
Speaker 1: different color. So the script would come out on white paper,
Speaker 1: and then you would get your first revision, which was
Speaker 1: usually either pink or blue. Um that draft would you
Speaker 1: would add those pages to the white one, and then
Speaker 1: you would add the pink pages when those came out,
Speaker 1: because it kept going through changes. I can't like the
Speaker 1: rainbow you see her O C D coming out. This
Speaker 1: is what's important to I'm picturing her binders remember things
Speaker 1: that she filmed in a show. But she can remember
Speaker 1: the order of the color of the order. You gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta have the binder. I got to have the binder,
Speaker 1: and much I love you. You got to take out
Speaker 1: the white ones, put in the blue ones right in there,
Speaker 1: and then you close their back up until you get
Speaker 1: your new ones. So exciting. I never did that. They
Speaker 1: just all sat in my room that they didn't even
Speaker 1: open them, open them piled up. How had I learn
Speaker 1: my lines? Yeah, Like I have like a photographic memory,
Speaker 1: so I'm good at learning lines. Like spending time online
Speaker 1: isn't good for me because I'll forget it by the
Speaker 1: time I get there. For me, it's easier to like
Speaker 1: look it up, pick it up, and move on. To
Speaker 1: the next scene. Yeah, me too, Okay. Her next question
Speaker 1: was how hard is it to memorize the scene? I
Speaker 1: was just saying this, like, I feel like because I've
Speaker 1: used my short term memory so much, meaning that like
Speaker 1: instant recall looking at something on paper one time, looking
Speaker 1: and picking it up and then going and reciting it
Speaker 1: in the scene. I've used my short term memory so
Speaker 1: much that that kind of, you know, I've been shadowed
Speaker 1: my long term memories. Maybe that's part of it. Is
Speaker 1: that your story and you're sticking to it. I mean
Speaker 1: it works. Yeah, that's crazy. We were we were we
Speaker 1: would literally like just like look at it. We didn't.
Speaker 1: They were little. We had the little side because they
Speaker 1: would staple it together, all your scenes and all the sides,
Speaker 1: and they were little. Now why would they make them little,
Speaker 1: like why would they make I don't know, instead of
Speaker 1: full sized pages like of a regular It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: Names very round in your pocket. But now like we're
Speaker 1: old and we all have to have it food please,
Speaker 1: and we all like on beach and I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I think we added it to
Speaker 1: a scene because we thought it was so funny that
Speaker 1: we all needed huge fond printed out and nobody used
Speaker 1: the many pages anymore. That is hysterical. And back then
Speaker 1: we had all had perfect vision and yeah, we like
Speaker 1: glanced at it once and be like, oh a paragraph.
Speaker 1: Yeah I haven't memorized, let's go. Our next question was
Speaker 1: who in particular would be more likely to forget their
Speaker 1: lines or always had bloopers or reduce. I feel like
Speaker 1: we all had her share, but I know I'd definitely
Speaker 1: forgot my lines a lot. There were times I remember
Speaker 1: being in the middle of the scene and just flatlining,
Speaker 1: like completely losing track of what we were doing, where
Speaker 1: we were, what was was supposed to be happening, and
Speaker 1: that they would be like there she goes and she
Speaker 1: would and she'd and she'd like freeze and like pursonal
Speaker 1: lips look around and she'd be like, I got nothing?
Speaker 1: What nothing? So funny. But in general, I feel like
Speaker 1: everyone was pretty on it with their lines. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean because we did. We didn't. It wasn't like I
Speaker 1: would go home and maybe peruse the next day's work
Speaker 1: before I would go to sleep, or before I worked
Speaker 1: that the day before. But it wasn't like a go
Speaker 1: home and sit down and study and you know, break
Speaker 1: it all down very often their room for improv or
Speaker 1: did you guys really stick to the lines always? We
Speaker 1: were pretty good about they made a stick tight to that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: First at first we could add in little inflections, are
Speaker 1: little like you know, flavors here and there. But we
Speaker 1: definitely had to get their words across. And I don't
Speaker 1: think it even it didn't even really enter our minds
Speaker 1: to want to improve or that we could. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: just like must say the words as written like robots.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the I feel like
Speaker 1: the boys would put in a little like they would
Speaker 1: do their handshakes and add like equivalent of like what
Speaker 1: the new word like bro is. Everything was mapped out
Speaker 1: for you guys from the lines to like the physical
Speaker 1: acting and all that as well. No, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: saying like the guys like any of the handshakes, like
Speaker 1: the that was whatever came down to a little like
Speaker 1: high fives that the boys did like their head. We
Speaker 1: did that too. We we brought our own flavor to
Speaker 1: they did all our stuff. We did too. Though. I
Speaker 1: feel like the writers were so great about writing to
Speaker 1: all of our individual sort of voices because they really
Speaker 1: listen to the way we talked to each other and
Speaker 1: they they still listen. It was really great to see
Speaker 1: that happened. We didn't even know what was happening. Don't
Speaker 1: you feel like you didn't know what was happening? But
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, like Donna and Kelly turned
Speaker 1: into Torrey and Jenny, but we didn't know. It was
Speaker 1: like they just did it, like like like a little
Speaker 1: like puppeteers behind the scenes, like the Wizard of Oz,
Speaker 1: like all knowing were watching us listening all the time.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, Like it didn't occur to us at the time,
Speaker 1: like oh, our characters are evolving more into us and
Speaker 1: becoming more of us, Like we can look back now
Speaker 1: and see it, but at the time we didn't know.
Speaker 1: It was just like I felt, right, maybe they had
Speaker 1: one specific person to easedrop on you guys at all time.
Speaker 1: That was their job the notes. Who is that person?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe that was the same person that told
Speaker 1: Jessica Alba not to look us in the eyes. We
Speaker 1: don't know, We will never know, but we will never
Speaker 1: let that go. One more question from Karen. She really
Speaker 1: had a lot of them for wardrobe. Did you choose
Speaker 1: your outfits or did someone select that for you. I
Speaker 1: feel like we've touched on, touched on this before. But
Speaker 1: speaking of outfits, before we answer that your little tummy,
Speaker 1: what was that was the cutest little shirt you were
Speaker 1: wearing in the school, in the classroom. It barely went
Speaker 1: below your boobs and your entire midriff was out so
Speaker 1: tan and taught and cute. She called me tat talt.
Speaker 1: Those were the days I didn't even appreciate it. Then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, look at that. It's something to
Speaker 1: see little Tom Tom. Yeah, she was a good one.
Speaker 1: She's been through a lot now she's still a good one.
Speaker 1: And another one of the fashion moments was like Steve,
Speaker 1: every scene he had a new oh Glee shirt on.
Speaker 1: He had so many shirt changes in this episode. And
Speaker 1: then it was just like Highways of jeans with a
Speaker 1: belt and another big blousy, ugly shirt, big blousy collar. Sure,
Speaker 1: I feel like like it was like almost Pirates of
Speaker 1: Penzance kind of ish, but like mixed with like what
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1: It was like bad, you know, like when you think
Speaker 1: of like a comedy, a stand up comic back in
Speaker 1: the nineties, that's what he dressed like, but that was
Speaker 1: the style back then. But like apparently, like so here
Speaker 1: back to your question, like we did have say in it,
Speaker 1: and more and more as the show progressed. I think
Speaker 1: in the first you know, the pilot, we let them
Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted. We didn't know they were not
Speaker 1: us first episode as well. But as I started to progress,
Speaker 1: you know, they started to figure out our individual styles,
Speaker 1: what worked best on our bodies, what we liked. Um,
Speaker 1: but we definitely could say, like, know, that doesn't work
Speaker 1: for me. Like, it's not like you had to wear it.
Speaker 1: There was a big room, big room full of clothes,
Speaker 1: and they would kind of separate it. That means the
Speaker 1: iron pick those shirts. He gravitated right towards them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: would it be day of or did you guys go
Speaker 1: a separate day and do No. You had to do
Speaker 1: a fitting for every episode, and they were gruesome. They
Speaker 1: were like marathons sometimes because sometimes a lot of changes
Speaker 1: in the next episode, and so while we're filming the
Speaker 1: episode before, we would have to go in and do
Speaker 1: your wardrobe fitting for the next episode, sometimes during your
Speaker 1: lunch hour after work, like early it was Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was it's always a lot. Wardrobe is a really tricky,
Speaker 1: challenging part of acting, I think more so than people
Speaker 1: even think, because it takes a lot of energy and
Speaker 1: planning and you know, wardrobe stylists and coordinators or they
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do and then the
Speaker 1: actor comes in it's like, I don't like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what they've done so much work. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: there was. It was a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: clothes we went through on that show Man. What's so
Speaker 1: crazy is that the majority of it is back in
Speaker 1: style in that wish I could go into that room
Speaker 1: now it looks like H and M or top Shop.
Speaker 1: Right now, that's all the styles that are crazy. Do
Speaker 1: you think they linger into one. Do you guys have
Speaker 1: any New Year's resolutions? Oh? Good questions? New Year's resolutions,
Speaker 1: it's happening. We're getting the hell out of people, let's
Speaker 1: hear it. I mean that right there is like I
Speaker 1: don't even think we need resolutions for the year. You
Speaker 1: know what? Crazy enough? I know was horrific on so
Speaker 1: many levels for so many people. Um, but there were
Speaker 1: moments of it they gave us pause to kind of
Speaker 1: go back to what was important, the simpler things. In
Speaker 1: life like Quarantine as awful as it was, like, let
Speaker 1: us be with our family. Sometimes life moves really fast.
Speaker 1: Who didn't fare Spuelers say that, and you don't get
Speaker 1: that moment um for Jen and I like we started
Speaker 1: a lot of passion projects in um we had time
Speaker 1: to kind of do that and really get our our
Speaker 1: ducks lined up. That is going to be really amazing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like one, I mean, it's got to be
Speaker 1: better than So there's that everybody's starting off, you know,
Speaker 1: in the in the positive. Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: we all have like a new mindset, like you said, Tori,
Speaker 1: because of what we went through this year. And I
Speaker 1: know what's like more important versus like I was just
Speaker 1: going a hundred miles per hour two before we all paused.
Speaker 1: So and it really doesn't. It's like a lesson and
Speaker 1: like you don't like you don't, it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: your resolution is, because going to be whatever, it's going
Speaker 1: to be, right, You've got no control. Yeah, Remember like
Speaker 1: every year you'd be like, this is going to be
Speaker 1: the best year, best year, Like I feel like none
Speaker 1: of us are saying that anymore because of what happened.
Speaker 1: We were like we had no idea. You know, we're
Speaker 1: ringing in whoa, it's gonna be the best year, and
Speaker 1: then everyone's like whoa. So now we're just like just like,
Speaker 1: just take it as it comes and go the flow.
Speaker 1: Be in the moment, be with your loved ones, focus
Speaker 1: on the things that are important and good for you,
Speaker 1: and keep you safe and just go with it and
Speaker 1: see what happens. That's my resolution. I love that. Like that, Well, ladies,
Speaker 1: I think it's time to wrap it up and no, no,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, wait, this is it. This is it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is our last. This year. Homework assignment will be
Speaker 1: to watch episode seven, Episode seven coming up next week, everybuddy,
Speaker 1: do your homework. Oh my gosh. So by yeah. I
Speaker 1: always love it at the end of of a year
Speaker 1: when you and you're done working or seeing people and
Speaker 1: you can say, okay, see you next year. So it's
Speaker 1: really like in a week, oh my god. And this
Speaker 1: was like one of those years they're like, hope's here
Speaker 1: next year for what's going to happen. But we're there,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get through it. It's going to happen, so
Speaker 1: we will. We will definitely see you next year. Um,
Speaker 1: be safe. See you next year, O m G
