Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nine O gene one engine with Jenny Garth and
Tory spelling.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
So, you guys, I feel like we the podcast us
were holiday by holiday in line in sync with the
show for a while. Now we're totally thrown off. It's
spreading here and the show is talking about Thanksgiving, so
we're half.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
A year off. Cool. I don't know what happened. Is
it us or is it them?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, we're not close now because it's almost like I'm
ignoring that it's Thanksgiving because it looks so sunny and
spring like and it's spring in the world that I'm like, eh,
I'm just.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Gonna aside from a few mentions in the last scene,
you don't really know it's Thanksgiving anyway, so you could
just like.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
That, and even then you're still like, oh, they're having
Thanksgiving at the you know, Habitat for Humanity House.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah I was.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, I didn't feel Thanksgiving at all.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
No, no, oh, not at all.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It didn't feel like Thanksgiving. It felt like, I don't
even know nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
It didn't feel like summer. You're driving up the coast
to Montecito and it's like it seemed like the middle
of summer in California.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
It is like that a Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yea true, so true.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Wait, what do you guys think of this episode overall?
Because we're back to sort of like three very disjointed
storylines almost four no connection whatsoever. Not crazy about it, really, Jenny.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
It was a lot. There was a lot going on,
a lot of jumping back and forth, and it felt
weird because they were so different, Like David's story was
so different than the group, and then Kelly and Mark
and the Steve. It was a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's very different storylines and very different tones. You have
such a serious storyline going while simultaneously you sort of
have this like drama was Steven Brandon, but then the
habitat for humanity is kind of like a lighter. And
then you've got the two of you driving up the
coast in this relationship that's suddenly like, I mean, that's

(02:11):
pretty serious, the two of you going away for Thanksgiving
and then just diarrhea City.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So it's just like, ew, I don't even want to
think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Really, they were all, I guess more serious. And it's
shocking that Jason directed this one because it was the
tone of it was not his directing at all.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
I agree with you, Tori. It was not how he normally.
I mean, it's very he directed it well, but it's
Brian's stuff is really serious.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's really good.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Dare we say this was the moment when his directing
kind of took a turn, like he started to really
up his game and do drama instead of such like
silly fun stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
And big directing. Because you really are driving up the
coast and it didn't look cheesy and how sometimes car
rides look in TV shows. It looked really good. You've
got the house build, he's got big stuff he's doing
in this episode.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, I mean I feel like that's the thing about
Jason directing, even back then, is he always thought big
and wanted to step it up and wanted to include
big you know, big shots, screenshots like things to elevate
the show through the vision of our cast. And yeah,
he always got it. So I guess if anyone was

(03:33):
going to get that luxury, it'd be Jason. So they
allowed him to push that.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, Jenny, do you have any memory of driving up
the coast with the guy that you had no chemistry with?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
None.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I don't even rememb where he's going. Zero.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't know where.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I don't even remember that storyline.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
It's almost like they pulled over in Malibu, shot a
bunch of stuff and then went back to like yeah,
sets with a weird restaurant scene and a creepy they
wouldn't call it a motel six what did you guys
call it a best motel or something?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
But it was actually the surf rider in Malibu.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Were no way?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, did you see that exterior shot of it?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
No? No, First of all, if you're it's not like
Santa Barbara is in Texas, like you can just drive home,
like people drive to Santa Barbara for dinner and go.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Homes had a pack day.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
They had to get back to say you needed the
I guess it was called the Best.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Nest Best Nest. They though, no, he had They had
this special romantic weekend planned. I guess hi area matching
Satin Jammi's wait, let's just tell.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
The matching Satin jammies were hysterical.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I tell everybody what we're talking about. How about that
we are talking about season seven, episode eleven. If I
had a hammer.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
If I had a hammer, you're doing a hammer.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
In the mall, oh boy and had him and the
Eve Man, you.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Guys just hammer out all my joy anyways. Synopsis. Thanksgiving
and Beverly Hills turns into a cornucopia of complications. Steve's
cheating scandal intensive eyes when he faces expulsion, Brandon's career
hangs in the violence when he's charged with collusion. David's
cafeteria chaos prompts a psychiatric evaluation, and Mark and Kelly
head to Montecito but wind up with Mona Zuma's Revenge instead.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Directed by Jason Priestley, written by John well.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Lee, the dumb storyline for me, I'm sorry is the
is the stolen paper. It's like they're trying to make
something out of it. Like Steve needs to just say
I stole this. Brandon had nothing to do with it.
I stole it, and like that teacher coming back and
being like now he's like, ah, this is how I'm

(05:54):
gonna get Brandon Walsh like it's just stupid. Yeah, it's
just like.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Come on, I know, I don't understand how it's such
a big deal and why Jason's involved. He had I mean, Brandon,
he had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Because I guess we're supposed to believe that even though
he had nothing to do with it. That professor who
what's that guy's name, Professor Randall? Randall is like, payback's
a bitch, Brandon Walsh, you.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Know what I mean? It's just like soda going to
come back.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I don't think so she's long gone.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
What can we talk about first? What do you want
to do?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
You want to should we keep? So we should just
finish with the dumb paper storyline, which goes on and
on and it's like make it in And the only
thing that I'm happy about is that Brandon is mad
at Steve and he should be.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Why did they bring what is his name, mister Randall
back in?

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Professor Randall just a queink eating But then he's going
to go for it because Brandon was the brightest student
he ever had, and he's buried in term papers and
it's like he happened to read it and he's like
this sounds oddly familiar and then pulled it back up
from years ago.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
But Steve can just say I stole it. He had
nothing to do with it, because he says that, and
then they're like, oh, he's still going to be in trouble.
What why? Like that's like it's a crazy storyline. That's
just trying so hard. Now, would this really happen in
real life?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
In college?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, somebody could steal a paper. But if you blatantly
steal a paper, it's not like I gave you my paper.
You stole it like you stole a car. You're not
going to be in trouble for someone stealing your car.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Would he be expelled? Steve correct uh later?

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, I don't know if you'd get expelled. Okay, because
here's what happens in college. People don't steal other people's papers.
They plagiarize a book. You know what I mean. You're
writing a paper and you just take too much from
a passage in a book, like a Remember cliff notes?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Remember encyclopedias?

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Do you guys remember Encyclopedia?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, had a whole set.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Now it's AI.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Oh yeah, people use AI.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, uh huh so crazy.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Notice whenever I Google something, it comes up AI. Now
the top thing is now AI. So if you googled,
like what did Kelly eat to give her diarrhea? And
then it'll come up like AI.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
SA answer for you? Of course you do?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Were you vomiting? I feel like you guys vomited, not diarrhea.
But I just am using this as an opportunity.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Let's talk about Kelly and Mark. We can get away.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's just like you don't want to be there. That's
all I can say, is like, you don't want to
be in that car, you don't want to be on
that trip, you don't want to be in that restaurant.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
But honestly, he was fun and he had like some
you know, good energy in this yeah episode, I felt
like he was like he's in it.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yeah, I feel like he's just a guy that's going
to get friend zoned, right, Like you're like, I want
to like him, but I don't like him.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, she already has too many friends, so.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well Kelly's friend book at all full. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, She's like, I just don't. This isn't I'm not
feeling this even though I want to, and this is
a good dude took me to a fancy restaurant and
gave me Caviare no, something gave you diarrhea? What was
it cavier?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Or maybe the lobster?

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh so rich? I would have diarrhea too. It's like
nobody can eat.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
That just made me hungry.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I was so grateful that they that she got food
poisoning because then she didn't have to, you know, do
it with him.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, but I thought about the food poisoning in that
gross motel room. I was like, nothing is worse than
being sick. I once, I will tell you as a
story that no one will care about. I once got
so sick on a trip to Vegas at the Tropic Camera. Ooh,
and nothing is.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Worse like coming out both ends, just the poops.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
But it was so bad that I felt the need
to clean the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Like.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
I was like, I had to go to CVS and
get four to nine and clean the I was like,
this is.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Like explosive, like on the walls and stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, she had to do that. Wait, she cleaned it
before she had the No.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
I cleaned it after too, because I was like I
have to stay. No, because you guys, I had to
continue staying in this hotel room for like four more days,
and I was like, I can't. I can't on the walls.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm so curious.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Didn't go on the walls.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
There was something on the walls.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I know toy is saying that, I'm just saying I
wanted to clean the toilet and just the sinks and everything.
I was like, so gross. I'll never forget it. I
was so sick. And then I but you know, once
you have diary, you feel a lot better.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, if you're going to have to have it, it's
better at like a she hotel.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
I highly recommend trying to count how many times to
say diary in this episode.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's like a it's better than hammer if I but.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh my god, stop my kids.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
That motel room was gross.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I was not.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I was like, just go back to Bevero.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
You guys, come on.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Where'd you get the matching gyms?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
You both need to face a little adversity. Clearly that
was a very nice hotel.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
The no, that motel room was not nice, but it.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Was not like gross.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It's a surf rider, I know, but it was supposed
to be sort of the best nest. They were trying
to say motel six like it was not nice.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
The surf rider is legit now, it wasn't that back then,
any guys.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
When I was a kid, we never went anywhere. We
didn't travel, we didn't go on airplanes, we didn't have hope,
we never went to a hotel. And I remember the
first hotel that we went to. It was a holiday inn,
and that for us was the lap of Lug.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Oh yeah, no, I remember that. Back in the day,
the holiday inn was like totally fine at a pool,
maybe even like a breakfast buffet.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh now it's like a four star hotel holiday and.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Holid is not.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think it's gone down hill too.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's not cheap, you guys.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
No, nothing's nothing is cheap.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
It's like two hundred dollars a night. You guys.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Remember when that Holiday Inn in Brentwood, that Circle building, Yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I love I stayed there when I first came to La.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, that's kind of iconic.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Uh huh, but no, uh. Motel six used to be
like nineteen dollars a night, seriously.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
With cable TV. Remember when that was always on the
signs we have HBO.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And then they would always say we'll leave the light
on for you.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Oh yeah, we'll leave the light on for you. I
think they still say that. So all of them are fine,
Like I think that today, Like it's like Radison High
Att Hilton, you kind of like go that out, you
know you're gonna be all right.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Mm.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
I stayed in some diicy places in my day, not
gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Where do we say that? One time in Pennsylvania, what
was it? Hilton, No, Marion by the Freeway.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
The one we thought was haunted. No. No.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
We had brown everything and we went to eat There's
and all the food was fried, every single thing.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
It was like our worst nightmare.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
I've stayed in a motel with a heart shoved heart
shaped hot tub in the room.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh that's creepy. Did you get in it?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Was it the Madonna?

Speaker 4 (13:34):
That's what the madonna in is iconic?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
No.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I stayed at the Fantasy and Lodge in Lake Tahoe
and we would pile like eight people in. It wasn't
not romantic. It was like a bunch of no into
the room.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Okay, fine, but did you get in a heart shaped
hot tub?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
You know what? Like floats in that?

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I think we put our feet in. I don't know
that anyone was like, let's get in that. Yeah, but like, yeah,
that's what you would do on ski trips in college.
You just shove like as many people as you could
into the cheapest hotel you could find, and everyone's living
their best lives. There's a couple of times where I
was like, oh, this is I'm not even sure this
has hot water.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, I'm just happy that they didn't have to do it,
That's all I know.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
So they keep making a point of them almost but
like not making a point of it.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
So what does this mean? Like where's this leading to.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Show?

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Obviously? But goodbye, goodbye the dumb paper story We're stuck
with for a minute.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
What it's so, Oh, it's not over.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
We have to deal with this brea stupid stolen paper
with Steve being an idiot.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know, it's a lot better if you put it
on like like to point five. You know, you like
increase the speed goes a lot quicker.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
No, I cannot do that. That gives me like ajua,
I cannot watch things in fast.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
You can do that, Yes, you can speed her up.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Did you know people listen to podcasts like that and
it just makes me one One time I accidentally hit
that button and I thought something is wrong with my brain,
like everything's in pa. Oh my god, the panic attack.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Was serious and I'm strapped for time. I will fully
put it on one like one and a half so
that I can get my edits done quicker.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Oh my gosh. No, Hi, you guys need to enjoy more.
I even this episode I sat. I think I watched
it like five days ago because I was like, I'm
gonna sit back with my yummy dinner and watch this
like having a real night of it. It's not homework
assignment for me, you guys. It's like, oh good, okay.

(15:40):
I think I had a baked potato with some butter
on it, and I just lived my life.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
You know. I love a good baked potato. Oh yeah, okay.
Two more episodes for Mark two more. It's coming to
an end.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
So what do we think of the Habitat for Humanity?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, I didn't understand. Are they building this house for Willie?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah, I like it. There was. They gave enough background
as to why, and it was nice for everyone to
chip in and work. And they did not finish the home.
The home is not even remotely done.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I remember filming that.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Were you there?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I was there?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, because you come back, you're there? And then Brian
Slash David comes.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
And he's like, okay, m h.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
He bounced back quick. Yeah, a little too quick, but
very well done. That storyline. Psychiatrist, famous actor, tough, tough psychiatrist.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I like him.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Oh my gosh, so psychiatrist Tony Todd, who was you know,
guys know I love horror films.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
He was the O G. Candy Man. Yeah. I was like, yeah,
candy Man him in that voice and it comes in
the bees. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
It was my favorite horror film growing up because I'm
wondering like, why him, why did they pick him? And
then watching it back having that adult view now of
like so much of my life was put into that
when I was young, I'm like, wait, did my dad say,
like we want to put him on the show? Like
I had no idea. But he's also been in all
the Final Destinations and oh.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
He passed away, but he will be in the new
Final Destination tour.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, because he's such an intricate like og part of it.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
That voice, I mean, he's a amazing actor. Like that
was a I know he was very young, but like
he played that part well and the dream sequence was scary,
like it was done well, it's just too much of
a bow on it.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, I was fangirling working with him.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I remember filming with him and I was so nervous
that I couldn't remember, like I felt like my lines.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I was like, oh my god, remember your lines. You're
working with Candy Man, and I was like, oh.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
God, Caroline Lager felt she was very good too. But
I had a very strange thing happen. Not gonna lie guys.
Suddenly her Instagram's popping up in my feed and it's
like somehow, yeah, and I didn't watch it on my phone.
I watched it on the TV. And then now I'm
getting her and I'm like, that's.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Interesting, creepy, that's what that is. Creepy or yeah, one
of those Serendipit is like.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Might be just luck. But like at the same time,
I was like, that feels this a little bit weird.
And I think it's because I was talking to Lorraine
on the phone about trying to track her down, so
it's like the phone heard me say it, and then
now she's in my Instagram feed.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
This is creepy.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, weird, Okay, so what let's talk about It talked
about the diarrhea and the so David should we go Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Because what's her name? Val did not have her own
sort of storyline.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
She sort of had nothing doing yeah or Claire really
or yea. I barely remember them even being in this episode.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
They did have a good scene while they were supposed
to be building the house, which was a nice little
backstory for both of them, where she talks about her
dad used to build things in her town. Oh yeah,
and then it's so blurry what happened? She goes he
blew his brains out.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, you could blink and miss that. And then it
was so like whoa jarring? Mm hmm, I forgot about
that moment.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Let's get into the David.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Very well done. Mel is really stepping up as a
good dad here. I feel like mel and Donna are
really really trying to help.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
But why does he leave? He's not at the hotel
sleeping on the couch like Donna.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Wait, that was the hospital?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean yeah, sorry, the hospital. It starts with an
age close enough.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, where does it start? Where do we pick up?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
We pick up at SeeU and.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Oh, yes, he's very many because he hasn't slept and
he has that outburst. Thank you, Tori.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yes, and Jennifer do you see Jennifer was in it?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yes, our stand in.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
She like grew up.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
With us like on like all ten seasons. And then yeah,
she had a line in her first line.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
That was an intense scene. He really erupts and kind
of goes crazy, right, and doesn't he throw the coffee
and something breaks and he cuts his hand.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
There we go.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
That's how we end up at the hospital.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
We would in that scene. So good.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
And also, you know how I sometimes think on this
show's like round peg, square hole. That isn't right. They
do a nice job of like he they have this
scene at a place we know he has the outburst,
he cuts his hand. Ah, that's how we're at the hospital.
And then we get the you know, it flows as
opposed to these sort of like oh, we somehow ended

(21:14):
up in this car driving to Santa Barbara and then
we're in a weird hotel. It's like it's so like
that doesn't seem like that would happen, right, Yeah, that's
why this storyline's like really good because it feels it
has a nice flow, it feels real, it's dramatic, it's
acted well, it's written well. Everybody that would be there

(21:36):
is there.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
It sort of feels like when Kelly was with Jimmy
in the hospice.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Yes, yes, removed.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
From the rest of the show, but it was really
good and interesting.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yes, yeah, that's a great comparison. It's a heavy storyline,
but it's done well. It's almost like this is crazy
to ask, is there like the best writer is writing
the A and then like the other people are like, Oh,
I guess we got to do something with these people.
Let's steal a paper and let's bring it back, professor.
It's like, yes, they're like in some room just throwing

(22:07):
spaghetti against the wall where this other thing is like
very brilliant.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yes, yeah, I think that's probably what happens right to
where they put like their their head writer or somebody
that really knows how to write that kind of stuff
on that, and then the rest is just like, eh.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
We need to fill eighteen more minutes.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
So for this one, like John Welpley was the writer,
so he oversaw the whole episode, probably wrote the A storyline,
but then if other staff writers would go and write
the B or C storyline, he would.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Then he was in charge of editing it because it
was his name on it.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'll right right, I'll tell you what I enjoyed. I
enjoyed David's dream when he was all wet.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
It was scary.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I thought it was really scary, but he yeah, I
liked him.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
And doesn't he bump into another day too?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, because he because they talk about Donna says when
we found his mom, she was s filthy alleyway, so
they go back to that in his dream, but then
he turned into his mom.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
It's very large, like that storyline plays out, like, of
course Donna is going to stay at the hospital because
that's what Donna would do. Mel is there and kind
of being the father figure he you know, he does
have to find a way to remove himself and go
back to the dental office sort of. The mom comes
in her way, she behaves is very how we would

(23:40):
want it. You know, it just plays out. It's dramatic.
The doctor is really a good doctor, giving some tough love,
pushing the you know, it's all like, yes, it has its,
you know, little bumps, but like it just feels better
to me than this like far fetched bs.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
With the paper, like what when Fla came though, when
his mom came, she looks great, like she looks like
on beds and she's taken care of herself, which is
very nice. But she also said that she was she
felt guilty because she had passed on her mental illness.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Which is what a mom would feel. Yeah. The only
thing that was like a little weird is I think
they sort of play up like David only has a small,
small mental illness. It's very small, do you know what
I mean? Like I feel like I kind of heard that,
like she is extreme and he's small. Like I just
that's what my takeaway was.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
And I was like, hmm, yeah, he said mild mild. Yeah,
what's it go? Manic depressed?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
What do you say?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yeah, I don't remember, but I remember mild And I
was like, oh, okay, But like I feel like they
had to throw that in there, so we aren't like
because David's gonna be fine in two weeks, do you
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
But like in the nineties, is that how they categorized it?
Like now, no idea, they're more open about it.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh, I guess they called him a minor league manic depressive.
I never heard that diagnosis before.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
But it's so groundbreaking to be talking about mental illness
in totally ninety whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
And that they didn't sugarcoat it. They didn't sugarcoat it.
They went hard.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Like with the main character.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
That's yeah, it was they went hard. That's why this
show is awesome and still amazing today because I think
they're doing it as well as Chicago Med does it.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Frankly and just great because it's from a teenage perspective totally.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
And also like he's open, you know, like it's not
this thing he's hiding, like the gang knows, right. There's
so many things that are so good. There's so many
things that are so like, are you kidding me, Brian?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
If like, if that's something you know we all had.
Our storylines are like serious storylines that people would come
up to us and be like I had that or
I have this, and I was intimidated to talk about it.
But you guys did I wonder if dealing with mental illness,
if that's something they talk to him about about his character,
I'd be curious.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
That's such an interesting thing, do they What did I
come up to you guys and say what stands out
the most? For some reason? I think the eating disorder?
But I don't know. Jenny and Tory, you guys say
what people say the most.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
How about you tour for me?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I mean it's obviously her virginity, like you need it,
okay to normalize it that a girl or boy? Yeah,
so curmular, you could still be accepted of course and
hold on to your.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
You know, yeah, hold on to that.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
How did I not think of that?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
And another one they talk a lot about is Donna's dyslexia,
which is only in one episode, but I to mention that, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I think it's hard for me because that Kelly went
did so many.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Things right, and they kind of go, they go a
little nuts with you. She's attacked, she's burned, she's eating disorder,
she's a drug addict.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah. So I have people from each of those storylines
kind of checking in and saying that I was dealing
with that too. But I love Lately, I've just been
getting a lot of messages from women about the idea
of choosing themselves and that makes me feel really good.
I know one of our one of our super fans

(27:47):
to our Aaron, she was watching it and that prompted
her to back out of a marriage that she wow
went to and she chose herself. That that was a
big deal for her.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
So cool. It's like, yeah, there were there were things
that taught us stuff. I remember that too, Like you're like, oh,
I know that because it was don know which is
like it makes me laugh, but it's true.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Absolutely, because nobody was talking about that, especially from a
team perspective. There was no programming whatsoever for teens dealing
with real life issues.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Bold stuff, Torri. How involved was your dad at this point?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Very involved? Still?

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Like, because I feel like I will always say, and
I know I'm going backwards, but like, I'm certain that
the aid storyline was solely because he wanted that in there.
Was Darren still involved at this point or was Darren Moore?
Like he wasn't around as much?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I think it was me onto Sex and the City
at that point.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, wait what year is it? Yes, you're writing,
Oh my god, You're totally right. So he had done
Melrose and was doing Sex in the City I think
in ninety seven or something.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Ye, right, great time with all those I mean, what
a fun show to go onto. They didn't really deal
with major issues like this, not like this, no relationships. Yeah,
I love whoa God he's rich and now Emma He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Oh did we talk about everything?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Kind of, we talked about all the storylines. I think, yeah,
what's happening though with Brandon and Tracy.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
She just keeps being gone, she comes back and she's
just gone for the holidays all the time. Yeah, they
still continue something I can't remember. There's a storyline. Oh,
by the way, shout out to the person that keeps
reminding us we need to zoom in on the whiteboard
on her door, because I guess, like, so basically a

(29:57):
lot of people in dorms or sorties have that white
and you could leave a message like hey Lisa, like
meet me in the TV room or whatever. And I
guess there's like funny messages on there that were that
we're not paying attention to. We might actually go back. Yeah,
people are like there's always a thing on there. Yeah,
so I know. And I have noticed her whiteboard, I

(30:20):
just never like paid I did notice it, and I
noticed the message has changed, but I didn't pay attention
to what's on it.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Oh that's exciting. We are Donn and David getting back together.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
We should go back for a second too and tell
tour like your acting was so good too?

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Was it all hit very good? In the last two
episodes with this whole thing, I couldn't get.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Past my hair this episode, So thank you for saying that.
You know, I feel not good with my hair back?
Why was my hair back in a ponytail the entire episode?
Almost the entire episode.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, maybe you just didn't have the time to fuss
with your hair.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah, you're racing to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Were we doing double ups at this point? I'm sure
if we were.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Wait, I can see what's on her dorm room whiteboard? Oh,
dropping list, and then it says D cells for pocket rocket.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Oh yeah, that's a you know what it is?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
A stapler, A vibrator to this day, strongest vibrator ever.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
I don't think they've made a stronger one. That was
a good one.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Why they have a pocket rocket? You sell like a
fat D battery, big battery.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
That's a big pocket rocket.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Well that is weird. Who would write that on there?
Probably Brandon.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
To keep your eye on that white board, Jason.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Note it funny.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
The satin pajamas still get me on this one. I'm like,
why where do they get these matching pajamas?

Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's okay she has satin pajamas on.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
But it's just not okay that he does.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Well, you're taking him down this road. First you get
him what three hundred thread count sheets? And now you
guys have matching satin pajamas.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
It's just so you know what I can say. Here's
what I can say for everybody listening if they want
words of wisdom. Diarrhea is either gonna make or break you.
It's either gonna really make you, make a relationship just solid,
or it's it's gonna break you. Any Schumer has some
funny bit she did long time, getting sick with some

(32:42):
date and like just being like, I know it's over.
I know we're over.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
You know what that is? Funny? You said that. I'd
never thought of it.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
But one of the reasons I married my first husband
is because I got food poisoning one night and didn't
and everything was so bad and he took hear of
me that I always reflected on that moment. I was like,
I agree, Oh my god. He nurtured me, like, he
didn't run, he wasn't shaming like, and he took care
of me. And he's going to be a great husband.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
You know your relationship is solid?

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Right?

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Wow, when you can talk about diarrhea everything.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
We want to ask this question, what if you had
stayed with him?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh, Jenny, I think about it, Jen, I just thought
about it last week. Jen give an answer, what do
you think? I don't know, because I don't believe in regrets.
I believe everything happens for a reason. I definitely wouldn't
have my five beautiful babies because Dean and I created
them together, So I would have a different version of
this lifetime with different babies, and that feels wrong. But

(33:42):
I think if I had stayed with him, I don't
know what do you think would have happened. He's married,
he has two kids, beautiful kids, and he moved back
to Peabody, Massachusetts just recently, I think in the last
five years. But he was out here with his wife

(34:03):
and kids, and we had reconnected.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yeah, I don't know. What do you think would have happened?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Oh, well, it would have been so different. I can't
even you know.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I wanted kids so bad, and obviously I love kids.
I had gotten to the point where I didn't want
kids anymore. And that's how I really knew that it
wasn't working.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
You didn't want kids with him?

Speaker 3 (34:26):
With him? Correct?

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Wonder why?

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Because it was like friend zone.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
He was so he was too nice to you, right,
he was.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
So nice, But I also couldn't be me and that
was really dimming my light.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I had to be like the Donna Martin version, very
PG version of Tory, and so I couldn't show all
sides and that was starting to really wear on my soul.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
M Yeah, I can't imagine you being PG.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I know, and I had to be.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, he didn't like a wife, you know, girl that
was going to be his wife talking like that. And
I understand everyone has a version that works for them.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Interesting to think about, though, I know that's so funny
because I was just thinking about my first wedding to Dan.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I know, what if you had stayed with Dan?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
What if I had stayed with Dan, Well, neither of
us would be right here where we are today. So
I'm grateful that I didn't stay with Dan and you
didn't stay with Darth.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Same.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's it, Okay, So what do you give it? Guys? Amy,
what's your score.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
On this last part of the podcast? Is a ten
out of ten? I tell you, guys, h the episode's
like a seven. Eh. Brian is a ten. Yes, he's
a ten, and toy you're right with that, but the
rest is a seven.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Yeah, it's hard to give it a seven because Brian,
I mean, he is an amazing actor.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah he is.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Brian is an amazing actor. He's really good. He doesn't
quite get the credit he deserves because he's good in
all those other shows. I loved him in that Terminator
thing or whatever it was, too. He doesn't get credit
for being a really good actor.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
I think, unfortunately because he started on nine O two one. Oh.
It's just like yeah, which isn't.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Fair because it was a music career and people just
put him in this box over there, like, oh, that
guy when he's an amazing actor.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
He can be anything he wants to be, but he'll
always be David Silver.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
Nine two one. I is a blessing and a curse
for all of y'all because it was so big. You're
always that.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah, until it's so crazy to think, until our last
breath on this earth and beyond, until the end of time.
We are all associated with one another. When someone talks
about Brian in the press, they'll reference us. When someone

(37:06):
talks about Tour in the press, they'll reference us. You know,
it's all like we're all so connected in that way.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Because even if you say, like Jennifer Aniston, right, who's
like winning awards for the morning show you're still like friends.
And then you're like, oh, and I like the morning show.
It's always this, it's the second yeah thing, even Noah Wiley.
If you guys watch the Pit, the Pit is amazing,
but you're still like, oh, it's doctor Carter and now
he's like a different doctor. Like you still are just

(37:34):
like it's the one that brung you. You can't escape it,
the one there was.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
I stole that from Trisha yearwhen and I use it
all the time because she said I'll never forget it,
and I use it in my work all the time.
Sing the one that brung you, And it's like you
gotta sing the hits so you can't not love nine
O two one.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh, I heard you say that before I say.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
It all the time. I said, I'll sing the one
that brung you because it's what people want from me.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I want what they connect it with you initially over Yeah, Well.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
I don't watch you in other things or love you
in other ways, but you still always got to sing
the one that brung you.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, you know what, embrace that, you know, because that
that is why we are all here together.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Yeah, Trisha Year, what should really I quote her a
lot on that thing. I don't know if people somebody's
got to tell we use that quote from her regularly.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Wait, what's the next episode, y'all?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
It's all about the stupid day.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
It's all about that. I don't want to I'm want
to be so mad.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Season seven, episode twelve is judgment du Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'm going to use that technique Jen. I can't watch
those scenes about believing.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I'm gonna watch it for real, but I'm going to
be irritated. Whoa who, I love you guys, by the way.
That's like, I love how much you share with everyone here.
It's like some so nice, like it's actually really cool.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
We like, yeah, it's nice to right. I wanted to
tell you had those of Steve med and Chunky Laform
and they were like bricks basically. I literally just wore
them two days ago.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
No, like, they're almost like sandily but the brick like
the brick.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
I love them because they make my legs look longer.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
I forgot about those, Gosh.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
I still have them. Either I still have them or
I they came back and I got them.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Because all that came back.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Well, that's it, you guys.
