Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi guys, thank
you for joining us. All our listeners out there. We're
loving it. We're having so much fun right tour. We're
having so much fun, aren't we? It is fun, you
(00:20):
know what. I'm having a really good time watching the episodes,
and I've been doing it with you, and I've also
been doing it alone, and it's just it takes me
right back to then the moment that we were shooting it,
and maybe I can't remember a lot of things, but
when I watch it, it's like I'm there again. So
(00:41):
it's really making triggering me, but in a good way.
So you watch it by yourself and you watch it
with me? So do you choose you or do you
choose me? Oh? I have more fun when I watch
it with you. Definitely, Sister, who do you watch it with?
You're still watching with your husband? Kind of yeah, But
he's like he's not committing all the way because my god, Okay,
we're gonna have to talk to him about this. So
(01:03):
he comes in and out like it's not he's not
really sitting down and watching it with me. But also
we have two young twins, so he has to kind
of be watching them at the same time. Oh, they'll
be fine, they'll be fine. Well, this week's episode is
um what's it called this? It's called Every Dream Has
(01:23):
Its Price and it actually came out October. Want me
to read a little synopsis. Let's hear that Brenda's new
friend has a problem, in which Brenda suddenly finds herself included. Meanwhile,
Brandon gets a job and Sandy gets a maid against
(01:46):
her wishes. It's not happy about that maid. I don't
know that much about this episode because I wasn't I
didn't experience it firsthand because I wasn't in it. Where
where were you? I'm okay, I don't remember this. I don't.
I didn't tell you. So we were just getting to
know each other. And out of ten seasons, this is
the only episode I missed, and it's because I got
(02:09):
drum roll, please, a nose job. This is the episode.
It it heals and you come back by the next episode.
Now I can't wait to watch the next episode. Apparent
I don't remember, but apparently it did. And uh my
mom went let me get a nose job till I
was sixteen, and I was not sixteen. In the pilot,
(02:32):
So that's why I couldn't do it over summer or
not summer, but our break. So this was the first
avail because I'm like, well, why wouldn't we wait for
like Christmas break or something, But yeah, wait, you wanted
a nose job or your mom wanted you to have
a nose job, You're dead. I just asking the questions.
(02:55):
I wanted to get a nose job, and my mom
was super supportive, so I did it. And uh, the
first episode, well, the pilot. In the first episode, I
guess I did not have my nose done. And now
looking back, I'm like, oh God, I wish, I wish
I would have waited. And I think that is something
(03:18):
the takeaway from my children are like, wait, wait till
your past, your formative years, way, till your adjusted in
your own body, to be comfortable with your own body,
to know what you want, because at sixteen it probably
sounds like a good idea. All my friends were getting them.
And I look back at my nose and I'm like,
I don't see what was wrong with my nose, so
I don't I wouldn't have done it. It's almost like
(03:38):
you did it just because you wanted to find something
wrong with it because it was just so normal for
people around you to get nose jobs, which ips is
not normal to begin with. No, I feel, like, you know,
in Beverly Hills and bel Air where I grew up,
like it was at my high school, all the girls
were getting it and Kelly Taylor got one exactly. I
(04:00):
just think my nose was a little wide. I think
that's why I did it. I mean, nowadays you go
in and they have in objectables that they can adjust
your nose. You don't have to have surgery. Like things
are just so different. But I just wish I wouldn't
have done it because people always say to me, why
do you always turn to the side. And the reason
I turned to the side is because my nose is crooked,
(04:21):
and it wasn't crooked when before I got it done.
And I do not like my front view, so because
it is lately askew, I always turned to the side.
And that's something I've done forever, and it's you know,
it wears, it's exhausting for you. I mean, I'm not
allowed to stand on your right side. I always have
(04:42):
to be on your left side. This is correct, but
and I just wanted everyone to know that that's not
my good side. You sacrifice, sacrifice my good side record
she is perfectly symmetric. I have not Nobody is sorry.
I haven't even side. I can't even see what you're saying.
I can't. You're looking at me straightforward right now, and
(05:04):
it looks perfect. But it's possibly a little more in
my brain than it really was. But I don't know.
It's just something that I don't think I should have
done at sixteen. Definitely, I didn't know what I was doing,
and if I had to do over, I wouldn't have done.
Well learn a lot of things I wouldn't have done.
But you know, we can get into that later. When
(05:25):
you're young, you do crazy things. So I wasn't there
for that episode. You had other friends. I know I
had other friends, bad influences. I'm saying, we do crazy
things when we're younger. And Brenda jumps right into that
crazy cuckoo Beverly hills Pool when she gets tangled with
Tiffany in this episode, it is weird that Donna is
(05:47):
not there looking back, But next week we'll see a
new nose, so you know, we got new character to
look forward to. MH. So this episode that I am
not in. Let's talk about it. Did you even watch
this episode? Since you weren't in it, I can't commit no.
(06:08):
I yeah, you've watched it. I did like the cliff
Notes version of this episode, and in fact, like when
it first came out, this was I didn't watch it. Now, well,
why don't we dive more into it. Let's take a
break and then we'll get into the shoplifting and the lessons.
You know, there's always a lesson at the end of
each episode, which is I appreciated that the people like
(06:31):
an after school special always in Beverly Hills. We'll be
right back. Have either of you ever shoplifted? You can
(06:51):
tell me. I think when I was a little girl,
I took a candy bar from the grocery store and
I showed my dad right when we got in the car,
like I was it's in my head. I was like
proud of myself or something, and he made me walk
back inside and gave it back to them, And that
was my only memory ever doing something like that. I
(07:13):
took a lollipop from the teacher's desk because I was
dared to at school, but I got in trouble. I
haven't shoplifted. I've had that happened for one of my daughters.
But um, just like a little like testing the waters
and then learning the lessons, sort of what happened with
Brenda and Cindy. There's so much that we have to
(07:39):
look forward to girls growing up, testing the waters, testing
the water. I'm super close to it. They already do
mind too, and she already gets under my skin. It's
like how you are a third of my size. I
feel like it's crazy, though, that this character, Tiffany comes
out of nowhere. I mean, well, the show just started,
(07:59):
so I guess all the characters are coming out of nowhere.
But I feel like she just comes out of nowhere
and and and she's my old best friend. I don't know.
It just felt really weird and like but then because
I don't remember what happened, So when in watching the episode,
I was like, I don't feel like they're very good friends.
I think something's going on there. Then come to find
(08:20):
out Kelly doesn't really like her anymore. Do you think
Tiffany was supposed to be a character maybe like, yeah,
what was your dad doing at this time? Do you
think he was just testing new talent? Out to see
like what would stick, who he liked on camera best.
I don't remember. I was under the knife, so I
have no idea, but maybe I feel like also Luke
(08:44):
wasn't Dylan wasn't in the show very much at all,
only a couple of scenes maybe a little bit. I
feel like they were probably trying to figure out what
to do with him and how they liked him, all
those things that you know went on. Would you guys
film an episode just like from start to finish or
(09:04):
would you do pieces for other future episodes and then
piece it all together? Now we Yeah, it was we
do one episode at a time. You kind of mix
it up, maybe you do the beginning or the end
or the middle first or whatever. But how it works.
But uh yeah, all the way through, usually like seven
to ten days for one episode. I was gonna say
it was like seven ten hours in a way days.
(09:27):
But then they started adding like a crazy number of
episodes in later seasons, oh boy, And we would shoot
thirty four episodes a year, when usually the last episode
being like a two hour finale. Usually one season is
like twenty two. Right, Yeah, we did double ups, but
we'll get into that. Those were two episodes filming at
(09:49):
the same time, and it was insane hours. God, we
were young. Did anybody else enjoy the intensity of Cindy
and Brenda's me? I like the did you like it was?
The acting was? The acting was phenomenal, but it just
I cried, like I felt the emotion from both angles,
(10:11):
like the mother daughter aspect, and I thought that was
nice that it was incorporated. Yeah, I know whenever I
get goose bumps that something is like going on real,
and that scene gave me goose bumps because Shannon's acting
in that scene was so good and Carol Potter was
so believable as Cindy, and I just believed that she
(10:32):
was feeling all these feelings that she didn't have anybody
to talk to about, and Brenda was feeling the same way.
But they just couldn't quite connect in that moment for
whatever reason, mother daughter energy or whatever it was, but
it was it was very moving. When I was young,
I didn't connect to that scene. Um, I was kidding.
(10:53):
Earlier I did watch it, but now as a mom
and having two daughters, you definitely start to like, wow,
and I mean, I kind of love their relationship that
they have. It's really nice. Um. You know, like communication
wasn't always a thing in my household growing up. So
(11:13):
seeing the relationship that Brendan Cindy has, So seeing the
relationship Brenda and Cindy have, and even Jim Walsh and
Brandon and just like how much they talked to their
kids and communicate, I'm just like, Wow, that's so cool.
So I definitely took a page out of their book
when I became a parent. I think it like stayed
with me. The Walshes. Everybody wanted to be a Walsh.
(11:37):
I did. I wanted to hang out in that kitchen.
I did hang out in that kitchen a lot. I
wanted to go back. When I watched the episode, I
was like, I want to go back to that kitchen
and just sit at that table and watch. Yeah, I
watched Carol Potter eat all the prop food. I want
to be there again. Can you explain that? Okay, we
(11:57):
used to do a lot of scenes where the family
dinner scenes where we are all sitting around a table
or all around a party tray of food and they
give you food that's it's real, but it's prop food,
meaning it has to match for every take. So if
you eat some they have to be able to like
replenish it so that it looks the way it did
in the beginning, and they usually spray prop food with
(12:22):
like a listening agent. And Carol was known amongst the
kids that would be us at the time. We would
always be like, oh my god, Carols eat Carols eating
all the food and prop. The prop guys would come
(12:44):
in and they would just be getting so annoyed, and
she'd be like, oh, this is good and like during rehearsal,
re member, you never eat the prop food during rehearsal, right, no,
And I mean us being young and like, you know,
not wanting to eat on camera anyway, like because you're like, oh,
(13:04):
I food my teeth of money and be saying a
line because it was new for us, Like you didn't
just like on camera? Sorry? Could you? Could you feel
that one? Good to see it? Um? But she did.
She went for it. But yeah. Sometimes they would like
we hadn't gotten to a first take yet and they'd
have to complete I like that you said replenish, replenish
the props and then they were like, oh and didn't
(13:28):
Ross Ross was our prop guy, Like I'm gonna spray
it was something else, Ross and Barbie that they were like,
she's connected diarrhea and then gratch it. Yeah, but back
to it back but it wasn't bad thing. I mean,
that's what you're supposed to do. She was in the moment.
She was in the moment, but she was I'd never
(13:48):
appreciated her acting abilities. I never appreciated her contribution to
the show when we were filming it because I was
young and it was all about me and us and
the kids. You know, in my mind, I just wasn't
developed enough to think outside of my little box. And
now watching it, I find myself wanting more scenes with Carol,
(14:10):
and wanting Jim and Cindy to talk to each other
about stuff like but because they don't, and jumping ahead
in the episode when when they're sitting on the couch,
you think that there's going to be a nice moment there,
but there isn't. Jim ends up getting a lovely blue
track suit from somewhere They send him a track suit,
(14:30):
which I was really into that track suit, and and
and Cindy gets mad because she thought it was a
present for her. And then Brenda comes in or Brandon
comes in and ruins the whole thing, So you don't
see what time and changed so much then nowadays on
like their storyline would be something they would have dates.
It would be eccentric storyline, not just the kids. Goodness
(14:52):
for us because we're at that age now. So I
think I think that in future episodes they do kind
of delve into the and dad world a little bit,
and maybe that wasn't what they wanted the show to
be or they you know, that's not what the viewers wanted,
so they kind of kept gradually going back to the
just the kids all the time. You see the bond
(15:13):
with them obviously with their kids on camera, where they
like that off camera. Did all of you guys bond
with them? Jim and Cindy. Yeah, James, James Eckhouse, I
feel like he was like with the boys hanging like
he was really really cool. Um. Carol was cool, but
she kind of would do her own thing and you know,
(15:33):
go to her dressing room and read and um. I
feel like James would always be like hanging out with
Jason and Luke and like talking like he was like,
don't you think Yeah, definitely, I feel like we didn't
really hang out with either of them. Yeah, I don't
even remember where they were kept. Like, you know, we
were out and we were rape motel um, we were
(15:59):
kept in our little boxes, but I don't remember where
their boxes were. Up to this point. They were only
they were the only two adults, I guess until they
I mean, you know, Gabrielle was older, she didn't. That
doesn't count. I don't consider that the kids she was,
(16:24):
but she didn't really engage in all the shenanigans that
went on up and set. She was like, Okay, cool,
you guys, I'm gonna go to my thing. Yeah that's true,
and we'd be all like she was a little more
mature than going out. Yeah she yeah, she was. Yeah.
She was the dead mom. Yeah, definitely always took on
(16:47):
that dead mom roles. Now she's not. No, she likes
to wow out. Well when you guys did b H
two and her storyline was like wow, but seriously, just
on a friend level, there's friends there, you know, even
sometimes four or five years. It makes a difference when
you're young, right, So now it's all balanced. Like we
(17:10):
went back to be h Nino to and the three
of us were like hanging out and having drinks, and
I was like Gab is the coolest person ever I've
known in my whole life. But like this was a
side we didn't share before and now all of a
sudden it was all equal and it was so nice.
It was it was well, the age difference when you're
(17:31):
teenagers supposed to people that are in their twenties, that's
night and day. She loves her vodka. Wow. She is
a proponent of of the vodka. What's your guys drink?
I mean we're drinking it right now? Red wine? Always wine? Um,
I like vodka wine. That that would be my same.
(17:52):
Why didn't Cindy want to higher a maid? And how
did that come to be? Did Jim hire her for
Cindy and in tell her or either that or like
the company did and like he forgot that was that
he forgot to tell her because I remember he said,
just shows up. Why the company higher? I'm confused, sorry,
because that's what you do in Beverly Hills. You get him,
you get a housekeeper, you get a maid, right, I
(18:14):
don't know, like you just get a free one. Well,
they just they show up at your doorstep. Apparently. Also
in this episode, Brandon and blows off his job and
shows up, goes to dinner or something with Dylan, right,
and they end up at what becomes the peach pit.
(18:35):
Mm hmm, it is the peach Bit. It doesn't look
like the peach Bit on the outside, but when they
were inside in the scene, it looks exactly like it's
it's always looked. And there's Nat. There was Nat behind
the counter. Joey Tata. Joey Tata, now joe Tata, I
will say he never stayed with the parents. He always
(18:58):
was right up in there with the kid, was he not?
He was? He was so fun and he was good fun.
On a Friday night once we were an age, he
would have a suit ut clarifying not a problem, a
bar in a suitcase. He had a bar in a suitcase.
(19:21):
And once we were all legal age Friday nights, peach
pit after dark and he scenes at the peach pit
and so on. We're good times. Oh, it's good to know,
but it just doesn't when you see him, don't you
don't When you see him, don't you just feel like
everything's gonna be okay. There's Nat, there's some pie, Everything's
(19:41):
gonna be okay. And that's where Brandon, that's where Brandon
starts working at the peach Pit, right, So the peach Pit.
I don't know the full story, but it was inspired
by a famous restaurant in l A called the Apple Pan,
which is known for pies and burgers exact, okay, because
(20:01):
they go there for pie, which makes sense. Yeah, and
then it starts evolving into it's like a diner. It
literally is a diner with a bar. It's like verbatim
Apple Pan. And they turned it into the peach Pit.
And that always happens with shows. They find like a
central hub that all the crew, all the casts can
congregate at and being all the scenes together. And that
(20:23):
was our that was our coffee shop, that was our
you know friend. Yeah. Who knew that it would become
so iconic, I feel like to us at the time,
it was just like, oh, like a fifties diner, Like
was that food real? Okay? No? The French fries that
(20:43):
were real. They gave us real French fries. That was nice.
The burgers one of those. I never ate a burger though,
did you. Um? I don't remember. Um, I didn't know this.
I am told me that the burgers were from Fat
Burger down the street. I'm interesting. I believe that. Did
you ever go to those little um candy machines in
(21:05):
the corner of the peach pit? Yeah, the kind you
put a little dollar like a coin in and turn
it and the the goodies come out. Did you get
what I got? Did you eat what you got? What
was it? Like, you guys your she got maggots? Maggot,
she got maggots with her cents? This the food And
(21:29):
I've been sitting there for so long it was like
petrified and nowhere's maggots in it. We didn't know all
mGy I'm gonna throw up. I think they were like
peanuts or something, or candy. It was something, of course
I did. I was probably distracted. Brian was probably like, oh,
look at your furry face, and I was like what,
(21:52):
oh my god, and like ate it and I was like,
mag it's a meeting maggots. You didn't fall for that,
You didn't even notice? Probably not good protein though. Does
anybody out there know what NAT's last name on the
show was? Do you know? Tor? I do bet? I
(22:13):
don't know how to pronounce it. Boom boosts boo boob
not bouschio U s s I or you can say
you want, I mean he was it never used because
nobody can pronounce it. I wonder why let it have
(22:34):
such a complicated name. Yeah, why we've gotten this trivia
before over the years, and we never can say it
or no likes can We just kind of know it
because we've gotten this trivia asked of us? Why why
did that name? It must have been somebody's name. Well,
and no, I can't put a real person's name. I
don't know. That's a tough one. Yeah, they just wanted
(22:55):
to mess with us. Remember Willie. Oh yeah, Willie back
on the on the grill behind Nat at the peach pit.
The guy the cook like he works there the way
this year, I know that was we were all we
loved Willie. And who has worked there at the peach bit?
Oh my god? What's his real name? And now I
(23:15):
feel terrible. I remember I remember a blonde woman named Nadine.
Oh my god, member, how do I remember when you
say these people? Were they I'm confused. Were they actors
or were they actual cooks that were hired to Okay,
it's there. Actors. They were actors. They just they were
(23:37):
always in the peach pit whenever we went there. They
were there already, like it's like they lived there. Yeah,
it was like, okay, who's the the guy that loves
Rachel at Central Perk and he never ever talked until
seasons later they gave him a line or two. They
were like that, which I think they did give William
(23:57):
Nadine eventually a line or two here in air. But
they were just like always there all the season. So
as an actor, is that considered that's not a full
time job, I'm assuming, or is it for something? He
was there every episode? Yeah, whenever we were shooting in
the peach Pit was they were on deck for sure?
(24:18):
You know, consistent we meet the peach Pit for the
first time. It's debuted to the world. Have you guys
seen any of the episodes besides the pilot at this point? No,
you mean in real time back then, real time when
you guys were filming. No, we were just flying blind.
We seen the pilot. Yeah, I don't even know if
(24:38):
we've seen the probably seen the pilot. I'm not sure.
It's nothing in head air. And when we were filming
episode three, when doesn't air, how many episodes until you
start airing stuff? I can go by my nose and
I turned sixteen in May, so we definitely filmed the
pilot before May, and after May, we definitely filmed in
(25:00):
the first episode, and then it's in premiere until October, right,
because this one was October. Why are you laughing, Jenny?
Because she said I can go by my night. That's
a barometer of like thinking her events in her life.
I was distracted by your nails and you put your
(25:22):
finger out on you guys, listen, listen, nails on right now?
She she puts them in our face just to piss
me off. I think you know. I talked with my
hands and don't see. I don't see your eyes go
into my hands. You guys, I'm a hand talker. I
love it. But you have nails right now for a
(25:43):
role you're doing, so we get it. Wait. I was
gonna say, yeah, well, I usually go back in my
life and um access dates by pregnancies because I've had
so many. But yeah, true pregnancies and plastic surgery. There
we go. Oh gosh, that's a true you guys, that's
(26:04):
great lesson for all the kids out there. Wait, I
have a funny line that I remember from this episode
that I remember loving. It's a Kelly line and it's
about Tiffany and she says, klepto nympho, all those that funny.
(26:26):
I don't know that's funny, that clepto NYMPHI there wasn't.
There was one that I liked. Um it was from
Tiffany and she goes, why don't you just go back
to mommy, Brenda, we're outside. You had a lot of
good singers. If you were in the episode, Tori, there'd
be so many more. Sorry, I guess I have those two.
(26:50):
If I was there, it was only it would have
been my well so I from the pilot, my second episode.
If I was there, so I would have just been,
you know, saying Hi. Still you really didn't Hi? Do
you remember you weren't there? I'm asking you if you remember,
but you watched it. Do you remember the scene when um,
(27:10):
Tiffany is being filmed by David Silver and she goes,
I know what you want and she takes off her
dress in the school Hello, And then the best part
of that scene is is when David just drops out
of frame. So good because that's what any teenage boy
(27:33):
would do if that happened. Because I just didn't happen
in school. No, that got me. I was like, wait,
what is happening. Well, we need to take a break
and we'll come right back. Oh my gosh, we have
(27:58):
the lovely Robin life Leon. Oh my gosh. Age. She
doesn't age. I was just gonna say that. So we
just we saw each other well year ago, now right,
I'd heard read it. Yeah. So and she doesn't age.
She looks exactly the same in person. So sweet, I'm there.
(28:21):
I just Jenny. How are hi? Oh my god? How
long is it Ben since I've seen you? I mean
I would it be back to the where we met? Yes? Probably? Well,
probably on set? Probably on set was probably last time
I saw you. We did a movie together when we were,
(28:43):
didn't We were in the same movie. I'm really trying
to figure this out because I was in a movie
called teen Angel and you were in a movie called Teenage. Yes?
Was it the same movie? Of course it was. I
remember we were in Utah uh uh. And that's how
(29:03):
we met. That's when the three of us met. Nine crazy.
She she does not have a good memory. This is
no reflection on you. She literally like, it's really great
that she even remembered meeting you on that movie. Let's
just say that you knew. I knew we had worked together, absolutely,
I just couldn't figure out what it was. But oh
(29:24):
my god, we shot that. It was like a year
before you guys started doing that to a No, And
it was on that And is that when you and
Jason started dating from that movie or you became friends? Yeah?
We started dating then. Yeah? How crazy that the three
of you were on that a year before nine o two?
And oh that's insane? Is that crazy that way? And
(29:50):
you how old were you? Wouldn't you and Jason met
and started going out. I was I was seventeen, seventeen
old was he? And then Jason was nineteen but even younger.
And then he told all of us he was so
yet I'm like, how old are you? Only he wouldn't
(30:14):
tell me And I ended up seeing his license and
he was so mad. It was like who cares? Like
he was almost twenty at the time. But you know,
that's how it happened for us to he We didn't
ever know how old he was until I think it
was Shannon stole his wallet one day when you were
on a break, Yes, and we all like hovered around
and looked at his license to find out it's really
(30:36):
that's so mad, and we assumed, like why wouldn't he
tell us, So everyone assumed like he was older and
trying to play younger because of it. And then Iron
was like, dude, who like like wants to age themselves up?
Like exactly, he was the same. Then you guys like
the exact same, And I think I did the same thing.
(30:56):
I think I actually took us wallet and looked. So
I'm so curious. Well, I uhould you deserve the right
to know you were like exclusively dating him, right, yeah, yeah,
so that's how well even though you guys met before,
that's how we came back around. And that's how Robin
and I met is she was dating Jason Priestley when
(31:18):
we started nine O two one oh right, that's all
you and Robin. So you dated him pre like fame,
pre stardom. Well wait, Sister Kate. It was during Sister Kate.
So it was actually a year before nine of two
and o and then a year into it. So it
was such a drastic shift in everything that dynamics were
(31:42):
just like and we were so young at the time,
you know, and try and I honestly like I feel
for him for for hanging into the relationship as long
as we did, because that had to have been so hard. Um,
it was life altering. That fame was crazy, as you
guys well know it was. It was a phenomenon and
it was interesting for me to be on the outside
(32:04):
of it, but looking in and seeing it happen and
him being just this young, you know, gorgeous kid from
from Canada, from Vancouver, and he was you know, he
had he had done a couple of projects, but no
one knew who he was at the time. So, um,
it was very interesting to have that that massive shift,
(32:25):
like I've never seen anything like it. Um. Yeah, did
you guys live together? Were you living together? When when
we never lived together? We discussed it, but that was
that was something that I was like, yeah, I know,
I'm I decided early on that I didn't want to
do that because I had seen it, you know, around me,
when people did that, and it was so much harder
to exeter relationship if you did that, and so I just,
(32:48):
oh my gosh, I have a question. Sorry, I'm gonna
ask the question. I have no idea. It's just because
I watched the unauthorized version of nine or two an
l on lifetime and I didn't even know this happen?
Is it? Did Jason live with Brad Pitt? I don't
think they lived together, no, but I mean now you've
been there, and I was like, yeah, I don't think,
(33:09):
not that I'm aware of. I mean, I we all
hung out together a lot, and that's how I met Bred. Gosh,
you guys, I remember being um talking about Yeah, let's
talk about Bred so um. Jason and I just started dating.
He was doing Sister Kate and he threw a surprise
birthday party for me and his roommate Dave. I'm sure
you guys know Dave Cheryl. So Dave was dating Hannah
(33:32):
Katron at the time. Hannah was on Sister Kate and
so they threw a dual surprise party for the two
of us, and there was Brad Pitt, who was not
Brad Pitt at the time. Was he I'm not landing yet.
I don't know. I just remembering, who is that? Oh
(33:53):
my god? He was just he was gorgeous. He was
absolutely gorgeous. And I mean those women would say that
about a man you were dating. But you hear you
copy that, yeah, copy that. Jason was you know, absolutely
gorgeous as you guys. So in fact, I was I
would always look at him and be like, I don't
know if I really like the fact that he's so
(34:16):
much more beautiful than me, Like he's so gorgeous, like
this is this Okay, I don't know. I was a
woman who is totally gorgeous. But yes, I we're all
we're all girls here. We get that eyes. Did you
ever get over did the eyes ever get easier to
look at or were they just always like those eyes?
(34:36):
I don't care what he's saying or doing, those eyes,
It was always the eyes. Right, you guys are so funny. Well,
I mean, Tori, you know, do you guys know that?
Then I auditioned for nine O two and oh and
was offered the role of Andrea before Jason actually was Yes,
I know. My dad loved you. He loved you so much,
(34:59):
love you our dad. I was. It was so wonderful
to get to work with him. He's he in this industry.
He was in a class of his own. He was
so wonderful, as you know, and I loved him so much,
so I was so happy to get to go on
to do Savannah but and work with him. But yeah,
I auditioned for Andrea before Jason went in, and I
(35:24):
passed on it. I met with your dad and loved him,
but I passed because I was like, at that point,
I kept playing the same role of the underdog, and
I was just like, yeah, I just don't want to
do this. I don't want to do this rolling anymore.
And I loved the role of the sister, but Shannon
was already playing the role. So I ended up passing
and then Jason went and got it, And honestly, like
(35:47):
to this day, I feel totally fine with that decision
because I can't imagine. The breakup was hard enough on
its own, because he was really my first love. You know,
we were I was so young and he was so young,
and we were crazy about each other, and it was
just it was a lot. It was a lot for
relationship and ship for two people that were that young.
(36:08):
Can you imagine if you guys were on set together
and that would have been rough. I be like, it
would have been so horribly painful and so terrible. I
can't imagine. I dated a guy that that I worked
that I was working with on Savannah, and it was
a night man. Oh, David Gale. You guys know, David, Yes,
(36:30):
he was. Yeah, I shouldn't say it wasn't it was
a nightmare. Go ahead. It was really hard, you guys.
It was We should save this for off the podcast,
but you know he was great. He was great and
and but it was just tough because it forced us,
I think, to stay together long than longer than we
ever should have should have. And my dad always said
(36:51):
to me, Robin, don't ever fish off the company Pierre,
and I was like, too late, I already did that.
That's like, don't where you eat exactly, but the dad
doesn't don't fish off the company Pierre. You guys, you
guys didn't swhere you dated Brian, though, was was that hard.
(37:18):
We haven't gotten there at this point in the podcast,
and when we do, it's going to be the girl's
version of what dating was in the boys version, because
he said, she said, is always different in each other's minds.
But um, you know what I want to ask. I
want to ask from your perspective. Obviously you said, like,
(37:39):
you know, life altering for him, everything blew up like
and we know, but we don't know because it was
very different for the boys, specifically for Jason and Luke,
and I would love to hear from your perspective, like
behind the scenes at home, what was it like for Jason,
because Jason to this day still says that he has
(37:59):
a hard time into shopping malls because of his experiences. Yes, yes,
oh my, you guys, we didn't know that. And he
told Ummer like he said it took him to his
daughter was at a certain age and like to go
again because he just couldn't do it. Yeah. Well, I
guess I do hold a very special position here. Knowing
(38:22):
Jason before and then Jason eight year into it was
it was like everything was blowing up. But as you
guys know, he is so wonderful and he was so
wonderful to me, and um, I loved him with my
entire being. Um and he um yeah, um. So I
(38:43):
know they have a special place they really, honestly they do.
And yeah, so this is a this is an interesting story.
So I had been into interesting my whole life since
I was a child, and we would go to events
and things and you know how they're like, oh, get
a photo with Rob, you know, Robert, Okay, Robin and
j Okay Jay. Soon we step out of the way, please,
(39:05):
and then they wanted just singles of me and whatever,
nam Bill. I didn't. I didn't think anything about it.
But then obviously not which one know what happens, and
everything was like we would be driving down the road
and girls would just start screaming and screaming, and I'm like, Oh,
this is so weird, this is so hard. I feels
(39:25):
so awful. I don't like this, And I mean I
felt insecure about it because I just thought how how
much pressure that much must be for him, and how
tempting that must be for him to be like, oh,
he could have literally anybody he wanted, you know. So
we went from having this set like most trusting and
wonderful relationship too, I think a lot of insecurities. And
(39:47):
I would sit there and watch. We'd go to meetings
with people from People magazine and they would just be
all up in his business. Oh you're so wonderful, You're
so this, and I would just sit on the outside
watching and I'm just like, uh, I can't do this,
this is so hard. But Jason, his his life got
so busy, and um, I suddenly was I loved his publicists.
(40:11):
We were all like a little family. But then it
became very Uh it was I was invited less and
less to red carpet events. Um. They wanted him to
have the image of a single guy. And that was
really hurtful for me. Um, but you know, it is
what it is. And like I said, we were so young,
and Jason handled it the best he could. And uh, yeah,
(40:32):
I mean it was hard. It was really hard. And
then to break up and then have to go into
the store and see him plaster on every magazine cover
was horrible, breaking my heart. Rob and Lively, Uh, you're
super happy and everything worked out for you. So but yeah,
if you know what it does, it does, and and
(40:54):
honestly like it, like we I Jason, I have said
the same thing, you know, like his family is so
beautiful and so wonderful and mine as well, but you
know you always have a special place. Are you so
close with them? I feel no, I no, I no, no, no,
But I feel like I saw I saw on Instagram
his sister had posted and you commented or something, and yeah,
(41:15):
we're friends. You talking everyone's Instagram. Sorry, No, Um, we're friends,
but we don't. It's not like we talk all the time.
But if something comes up and I don't if I
have a question or you know, we don't hesitate to
reach out. But it's not like, oh hey, let's you know,
we don't hang out as families, but we should. Um.
(41:36):
I've never met his wife, and she's absolutely stunning and
you would adore her. She literally the nicest human you've
ever met. Seems like she really does. She seems like
their family is so so beautiful, and so clearly he
has so good taste in women, like nice women know everyone. Yeah,
(41:57):
I mean obviously friends with Christina Lee and they were
together for years and she's just a good person. He does,
he's really good taste of women. Okay, well, thank you brother. Um.
But it's it's interesting to hear your perspective because I
never thought of it that way. I just, you know,
we were young and it was like, okay, Jason's with
Robin and we love you and we saw you, and
(42:18):
then you guys weren't together, and we never heard the story.
I'm sure the guys did. We weren't privy to that.
And but to hear it from the young girl's perspective
of going out with someone that has insta fame and
all of a sudden you have there, I wouldn't be
able to handle that. I that just gave me all
the fields of going back to my teen years and
being jealous. Like Jenn and I went through like first
(42:42):
loves like together, and it was hard then. I can't
imagine my first love being Jason Priestley, who was like
the biggest star in the world at the time, Like
that's insane, yeah, right, And it was able to deal
with it. No, it was so terrible to be that
young and like um and impressionable, and it was such
formidable years for me during that time, and I was
(43:06):
oh got seventeen to nineteen um. And then to have
to deal with the pain of it on its own
and then to have to be exposed to all of
that constantly was it. I think it prolonged it for me.
It was just like I couldn't get past it for
so long. Not that I couldn't get over him, but
it was just the ouch of it all, you know,
(43:26):
the hurt of it all was like because it was everywhere.
It was you guys were everywhere. You didn't watch Beverly
hill Is nine or two one, oh huh for a while.
That's okay, you have a really good I loved you guys,
and I loved the show and I felt so much
(43:47):
a part of it because I knew all of you
and adored you all. So it was that was also
hard for me. Um, but I ended up watching it
because I did love it. I loved it so much.
What did you think when he wrote about it in
his book? Um? That was very very It was very surprising.
It was took me by surprise because I did not
know that that was happening. I had absolutely no clue.
(44:09):
I heard that the book came out, and then one
of my friends said, oh, I'm sure he's written about you,
and I said, no, he would I'm sure he would
have told me or I doubt it. And then I
saw the screenshot of an interview with him and there
was my photo with him on the set of Teenagel Denny,
as you know, and I was like, oh my gosh,
(44:32):
what And so I immediately I'm like, I need this book.
I need to see what did he say? What did
he say about me? It was all good, though, right,
it was all good. It was so all good, all good,
and I'm sure that's why he didn't say anything to
me about it. But it couldn't have been kinder um
for sure, but I was like, good night, get the
book fast enough, Robin. I can't. First of all, I
(44:55):
can't believe how gorgeous you look. You're well I did
say about me, not saying that I'm already either. You're
just a really pretty woman. You must be very happy.
I like that so having you you too, Thanks for
being on our show. Oh, it's just my absolute pleasure. Guys.
You should get together at some point. I miss you guys, genuinely.
(45:18):
I do. I know when we can get together. Let's
do that. Let's see that. That That would have been so
much more fun to have seen you guys and giving
you hugs. Um. I love being a part of this.
It was really really fun. Thanks for having good to
see you. Oh my god, she is so cute. I'm
not gonna lie. I was a huge fan of teen,
(45:38):
which me too. I don't want to say it, but
I always saw the entire time we were talking to her, right,
he looks the same. Um. Like a beautiful woman she is.
And she's an insane acting family. I don't know if
anyone knows, like her sister is Blake Lively. Yeah, it's
like her baby sister, right, and um, that's yeah, that's
(46:00):
crazy because she's married to Ryan Reynolds, who I named
my dog after his name is Arthur Bear Reynolds, because
he's the love child Ryan Reynolds. Do you remember the
song from teen Wich Now I want to be the
most popular girl? You remember that? No more? Now? That's it,
(46:25):
that's it. It makes sense now that we saw a
little like inside into Jason's love life of an X
because an X comes back in the next week's episode.
I said the word next a lot in next week's episode.
In next week's episode, Brandon's ex girlfriend comes to visit.
(46:51):
So it's kind of full circle that we just talked
to Robin about Jason's X. Now in life, now I
want to hear Jason's side, Like I wonder was she
his first love? And was he conflicted? Like I want
to think like romance never dies. I want to think
he was conflicted, Like oh my gosh, I'm the biggest
star in the world, like I keep saying the world,
(47:12):
like the world. I'm such a big like star now
and like every woman wants me, but I have the
love of my life, Like what do I do? Like
did he he was young? I mean I feel like
they were both so young. She made it seem like
he felt conflicted. I know she did. I'm sure he.
(47:36):
I mean, yeah, he always looked so fondly of her.
But it's just different from a boy and a girl's perspective.
It always is, no matter what age you're at. Was
it really that bad or I wouldn't say bad, but
was it that intense when you guys would go to
the mall or go anywhere publicly? Like? Did he get mom? Like,
I'm trying to like picture what it was like for
(47:57):
you guys. Yes, it like to he said, it was
worse for the guys because they became these instant heart throbs.
But I can't I'm looking for heart throbs. Yeah. I
can remember one time, uh Fox booked Luke and me
into an appearance, And this might be wrong, but I
(48:20):
think it was at a zoo, which kind of makes sense, um,
But I can remember the frenzy and the just chaos
that came about and how they had to like extract
us from the zoo and we were going through back
cages and trying to figure out a way out where
(48:41):
we couldn't we wouldn't get hurt because people were going
nuts and it was scary, and there was like the
infamous story about Luke and Jason in a mall right,
I don't know this story. Yeah, I thinks that's so crazy.
The stage was getting like I was like beetles. Yeah,
(49:03):
that they had to take them out in like a
laundry basket or like a they had a hide and
get them back there rolling like in the movies, like
when people hide from Yeah, that's what they had to do.
So I just remember I remember coming in Monday morning
and like all the whisperings in the dressing room we
would hear about and we were like what happened. It
(49:23):
was like not just like imagine coming back to school
after the weekend and you're all talking about like the
drama that happened, Like I went to this party and
this boy, Like we had real drama. We would come
back on Monday and it was like, oh my gosh,
Like Luke Berry and Jason Priestley had to be smuggled
out of the ball because the fans were like they
were worried about them because there were so many people
(49:44):
so excited, they were worried they would get injured. And
it was on the news and it was like insane. Yeah,
that first season was insane, and I just have so
many vivid memories of being at appearances, being like on
display and trying to do what I was supposed to
do and being scared for my life and just looking
out to the see of people and they were all
(50:06):
so excited. So the energy was just so frenzied. It
was really scary. And that happened a lot in the
in the beginning. Yeah, would you second guess going out
just to run an errand at that point, yeah, I
mean it affected me differently I think than I. Of
(50:27):
course took it extreme and I sort of got like
agoraphobic where I wouldn't I couldn't leave the house, like
I was not interested in leaving the safety of my home,
whether I'd go to work and go home. And that
was it. And that's how we had our first life
wife date, which you don't remember. I remember. You leaned
(50:52):
on each other, became friends, and we decided like we
were going to have our first like kind of you know,
friend get to get other outside of work. And it
was crazy, so we couldn't do anything, but we had
d I y in in commons, so we actually you
were the first person to take me to Michael's, which
is like my oasis of life now. And we went
(51:12):
to Michael's and you taught me how to hook a rug,
and we sat in your house and we were huckily,
like in rocking chairs. We were seeing our future as
old women in rugging. Chaersey just clearly laid out, Yeah,
the days which people would think, I mean, we did
(51:32):
go out and have times at clubs and stuff, but
like it's that memory of being with you in your
in your house and learning how to hook a rug
and just becoming friends with you that I cherished the
most rather than any moment going out to like a
club or a restaurant that age. It's just funny to
me that I taught you how to hook a rug.
(51:54):
What am I like a pilgrim? I'm a settler on
the port rock. Where did I get there? Because you're
a crafter and I'm a crafter, and that's like, amongst
other things, what we bonded over. And you were like,
have you ever hooked a rug? And I was doing
like diapage and stuff like that was very in Then
(52:15):
I was like, you've never hooked a rug and you're like,
I'll show you me, show me when you guys started
going to clubs, were you able to just walk up
or and you guys had tables, like you didn't have
to do anything right, they just let you right in.
I'm assuming I'm like, come on, that's a dream when
you're that age. Yeah, you get you kind of go
(52:36):
in the back door, you go in the side door, don't. Yeah,
it's very um exclusive feeling, if that's what you're off,
because well, when I moved to l A, I would
stand outside of a club right when they opened at
ten am and just see a bunch of people get
lit in before me. And it was just like, you know,
very different from my l A experience. We were a boyfriend.
(53:03):
We were with a boyfriend who became your husband, and
a boyfriend I didn't stay with, but they became friends.
So we I feel like when we went out on
the scene, it wasn't just like girls going out. We
were always with guys, like it was. Do you remember
going to see Lenny Kravitz. I want to say yes,
but like she's big into music and her first husband
(53:29):
was a drummer. Drummer, so she was like big into
the music scene and that was different for me. I
never like, I never dated a musician ever. And so
you know, like we went to concerts and stuff, and
I remember I was scared of concerts and hate them,
but I wanted to go with Jen and we went
(53:49):
to Lenny Kravitz concert. We have it sounds like we
were body suits, like matching body suits and jeans. I
just remember that. Ah. Well, that's one thing we haven't
discussed is the fashion from this episode. Because you saw
mc hammer pants, you saw the big blazers. Brian's blazers
(54:13):
were like out of control, like the first few episodes,
like I don't get it. Yeah, he had a cool
look though. I really liked because he had like concert
teas on and his little jeans and jackets. He just
and he had jewelry. He looked really cute. But there
was a whole broad spectrum of different looks for different
(54:34):
types of people on the show. For sure, I like
Brenda's outfits in this episode. I thought she looked super
cute with like she had blazers and little scrunchy socks
and um there in I just bought a pair remember
my tool, the white scrunchy ones. Yeah, they were called
(54:56):
made by Eric or something. I just don't remember the
name Eric socks. It might who old to wear them.
Now she's gonna say, yes, I'm not going to comment
scrunches a mate have made to come back. My kids
wear them. My kids wear scrunchy socks. Yeah, oh everything.
The slouchy backpacks. I remember having one of those when
(55:17):
I saw them in this episode. I remember I really
understand the hat though, the hat choices, but remember blossom.
I feel like it was the blossom air, like those
hats were in and flowers, and I know when people
talk about floral being in, I'm like, we did that
(55:38):
decades ago, but really it was probably being repeated from
like a previous time. That was maddening. You guys, like
remember when we were young and we'd wear like seventies
clothes and we'd be like, oh, we're getting vintage stuff.
It's so cool. And your parents would be like, yeah,
we wore that in sixty stuff, and we're like, we
don't know what you're talking about. It's that feeling now
(56:00):
now that's happening in and we're like, it's happening and
you become you feel old. It's just like when your
parents had to read a pendy with with reading glasses.
And now it's just like when the music and you're like,
turn that right down. I can't. Oh my god. You
could listen to these days and you hear your parents,
(56:21):
You're like, oh, it's happening. It just came out. We're
never going with short hair, though, I'm not going to
say right now. I mean like, I will literally physically
hold you down if you ever go to get like
a short grandma do like, you're never doing that. Grandma
(56:43):
hair to the end, long hair to the end. It's
so much work. You had your hair in the series
at some point, right, yeah, both of you did. But
we'll get to that. Mind was the accident first? Was
on purpose? Yeah, we'll get to this. Many hairs. Yeah, well,
(57:03):
I think that's about it, you guys, Right for this
episode anyway, we covered it. We covered it. What's next,
next episode? That's right, that's your homework, guys, watch the
next episode so we can chat about it.
It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi guys, thank
you for joining us. All our listeners out there. We're
loving it. We're having so much fun right tour. We're
having so much fun, aren't we? It is fun, you
(00:20):
know what. I'm having a really good time watching the episodes,
and I've been doing it with you, and I've also
been doing it alone, and it's just it takes me
right back to then the moment that we were shooting it,
and maybe I can't remember a lot of things, but
when I watch it, it's like I'm there again. So
(00:41):
it's really making triggering me, but in a good way.
So you watch it by yourself and you watch it
with me? So do you choose you or do you
choose me? Oh? I have more fun when I watch
it with you. Definitely, Sister, who do you watch it with?
You're still watching with your husband? Kind of yeah, But
he's like he's not committing all the way because my god, Okay,
we're gonna have to talk to him about this. So
(01:03):
he comes in and out like it's not he's not
really sitting down and watching it with me. But also
we have two young twins, so he has to kind
of be watching them at the same time. Oh, they'll
be fine, they'll be fine. Well, this week's episode is
um what's it called this? It's called Every Dream Has
(01:23):
Its Price and it actually came out October. Want me
to read a little synopsis. Let's hear that Brenda's new
friend has a problem, in which Brenda suddenly finds herself included. Meanwhile,
Brandon gets a job and Sandy gets a maid against
(01:46):
her wishes. It's not happy about that maid. I don't
know that much about this episode because I wasn't I
didn't experience it firsthand because I wasn't in it. Where
where were you? I'm okay, I don't remember this. I don't.
I didn't tell you. So we were just getting to
know each other. And out of ten seasons, this is
the only episode I missed, and it's because I got
(02:09):
drum roll, please, a nose job. This is the episode.
It it heals and you come back by the next episode.
Now I can't wait to watch the next episode. Apparent
I don't remember, but apparently it did. And uh my
mom went let me get a nose job till I
was sixteen, and I was not sixteen. In the pilot,
(02:32):
So that's why I couldn't do it over summer or
not summer, but our break. So this was the first
avail because I'm like, well, why wouldn't we wait for
like Christmas break or something, But yeah, wait, you wanted
a nose job or your mom wanted you to have
a nose job, You're dead. I just asking the questions.
(02:55):
I wanted to get a nose job, and my mom
was super supportive, so I did it. And uh, the
first episode, well, the pilot. In the first episode, I
guess I did not have my nose done. And now
looking back, I'm like, oh God, I wish, I wish
I would have waited. And I think that is something
(03:18):
the takeaway from my children are like, wait, wait till
your past, your formative years, way, till your adjusted in
your own body, to be comfortable with your own body,
to know what you want, because at sixteen it probably
sounds like a good idea. All my friends were getting them.
And I look back at my nose and I'm like,
I don't see what was wrong with my nose, so
I don't I wouldn't have done it. It's almost like
(03:38):
you did it just because you wanted to find something
wrong with it because it was just so normal for
people around you to get nose jobs, which ips is
not normal to begin with. No, I feel, like, you know,
in Beverly Hills and bel Air where I grew up,
like it was at my high school, all the girls
were getting it and Kelly Taylor got one exactly. I
(04:00):
just think my nose was a little wide. I think
that's why I did it. I mean, nowadays you go
in and they have in objectables that they can adjust
your nose. You don't have to have surgery. Like things
are just so different. But I just wish I wouldn't
have done it because people always say to me, why
do you always turn to the side. And the reason
I turned to the side is because my nose is crooked,
(04:21):
and it wasn't crooked when before I got it done.
And I do not like my front view, so because
it is lately askew, I always turned to the side.
And that's something I've done forever, and it's you know,
it wears, it's exhausting for you. I mean, I'm not
allowed to stand on your right side. I always have
(04:42):
to be on your left side. This is correct, but
and I just wanted everyone to know that that's not
my good side. You sacrifice, sacrifice my good side record
she is perfectly symmetric. I have not Nobody is sorry.
I haven't even side. I can't even see what you're saying.
I can't. You're looking at me straightforward right now, and
(05:04):
it looks perfect. But it's possibly a little more in
my brain than it really was. But I don't know.
It's just something that I don't think I should have
done at sixteen. Definitely, I didn't know what I was doing,
and if I had to do over, I wouldn't have done.
Well learn a lot of things I wouldn't have done.
But you know, we can get into that later. When
(05:25):
you're young, you do crazy things. So I wasn't there
for that episode. You had other friends. I know I
had other friends, bad influences. I'm saying, we do crazy
things when we're younger. And Brenda jumps right into that
crazy cuckoo Beverly hills Pool when she gets tangled with
Tiffany in this episode, it is weird that Donna is
(05:47):
not there looking back, But next week we'll see a
new nose, so you know, we got new character to
look forward to. MH. So this episode that I am
not in. Let's talk about it. Did you even watch
this episode? Since you weren't in it, I can't commit no.
(06:08):
I yeah, you've watched it. I did like the cliff
Notes version of this episode, and in fact, like when
it first came out, this was I didn't watch it. Now, well,
why don't we dive more into it. Let's take a
break and then we'll get into the shoplifting and the lessons.
You know, there's always a lesson at the end of
each episode, which is I appreciated that the people like
(06:31):
an after school special always in Beverly Hills. We'll be
right back. Have either of you ever shoplifted? You can
(06:51):
tell me. I think when I was a little girl,
I took a candy bar from the grocery store and
I showed my dad right when we got in the car,
like I was it's in my head. I was like
proud of myself or something, and he made me walk
back inside and gave it back to them, And that
was my only memory ever doing something like that. I
(07:13):
took a lollipop from the teacher's desk because I was
dared to at school, but I got in trouble. I
haven't shoplifted. I've had that happened for one of my daughters.
But um, just like a little like testing the waters
and then learning the lessons, sort of what happened with
Brenda and Cindy. There's so much that we have to
(07:39):
look forward to girls growing up, testing the waters, testing
the water. I'm super close to it. They already do
mind too, and she already gets under my skin. It's
like how you are a third of my size. I
feel like it's crazy, though, that this character, Tiffany comes
out of nowhere. I mean, well, the show just started,
(07:59):
so I guess all the characters are coming out of nowhere.
But I feel like she just comes out of nowhere
and and and she's my old best friend. I don't know.
It just felt really weird and like but then because
I don't remember what happened, So when in watching the episode,
I was like, I don't feel like they're very good friends.
I think something's going on there. Then come to find
(08:20):
out Kelly doesn't really like her anymore. Do you think
Tiffany was supposed to be a character maybe like, yeah,
what was your dad doing at this time? Do you
think he was just testing new talent? Out to see
like what would stick, who he liked on camera best.
I don't remember. I was under the knife, so I
have no idea, but maybe I feel like also Luke
(08:44):
wasn't Dylan wasn't in the show very much at all,
only a couple of scenes maybe a little bit. I
feel like they were probably trying to figure out what
to do with him and how they liked him, all
those things that you know went on. Would you guys
film an episode just like from start to finish or
(09:04):
would you do pieces for other future episodes and then
piece it all together? Now we Yeah, it was we
do one episode at a time. You kind of mix
it up, maybe you do the beginning or the end
or the middle first or whatever. But how it works.
But uh yeah, all the way through, usually like seven
to ten days for one episode. I was gonna say
it was like seven ten hours in a way days.
(09:27):
But then they started adding like a crazy number of
episodes in later seasons, oh boy, And we would shoot
thirty four episodes a year, when usually the last episode
being like a two hour finale. Usually one season is
like twenty two. Right, Yeah, we did double ups, but
we'll get into that. Those were two episodes filming at
(09:49):
the same time, and it was insane hours. God, we
were young. Did anybody else enjoy the intensity of Cindy
and Brenda's me? I like the did you like it was?
The acting was? The acting was phenomenal, but it just
I cried, like I felt the emotion from both angles,
(10:11):
like the mother daughter aspect, and I thought that was
nice that it was incorporated. Yeah, I know whenever I
get goose bumps that something is like going on real,
and that scene gave me goose bumps because Shannon's acting
in that scene was so good and Carol Potter was
so believable as Cindy, and I just believed that she
(10:32):
was feeling all these feelings that she didn't have anybody
to talk to about, and Brenda was feeling the same way.
But they just couldn't quite connect in that moment for
whatever reason, mother daughter energy or whatever it was, but
it was it was very moving. When I was young,
I didn't connect to that scene. Um, I was kidding.
(10:53):
Earlier I did watch it, but now as a mom
and having two daughters, you definitely start to like, wow,
and I mean, I kind of love their relationship that
they have. It's really nice. Um. You know, like communication
wasn't always a thing in my household growing up. So
(11:13):
seeing the relationship that Brendan Cindy has, So seeing the
relationship Brenda and Cindy have, and even Jim Walsh and
Brandon and just like how much they talked to their
kids and communicate, I'm just like, Wow, that's so cool.
So I definitely took a page out of their book
when I became a parent. I think it like stayed
with me. The Walshes. Everybody wanted to be a Walsh.
(11:37):
I did. I wanted to hang out in that kitchen.
I did hang out in that kitchen a lot. I
wanted to go back. When I watched the episode, I
was like, I want to go back to that kitchen
and just sit at that table and watch. Yeah, I
watched Carol Potter eat all the prop food. I want
to be there again. Can you explain that? Okay, we
(11:57):
used to do a lot of scenes where the family
dinner scenes where we are all sitting around a table
or all around a party tray of food and they
give you food that's it's real, but it's prop food,
meaning it has to match for every take. So if
you eat some they have to be able to like
replenish it so that it looks the way it did
in the beginning, and they usually spray prop food with
(12:22):
like a listening agent. And Carol was known amongst the
kids that would be us at the time. We would
always be like, oh my god, Carols eat Carols eating
all the food and prop. The prop guys would come
(12:44):
in and they would just be getting so annoyed, and
she'd be like, oh, this is good and like during rehearsal,
re member, you never eat the prop food during rehearsal, right, no,
And I mean us being young and like, you know,
not wanting to eat on camera anyway, like because you're like, oh,
(13:04):
I food my teeth of money and be saying a
line because it was new for us, Like you didn't
just like on camera? Sorry? Could you? Could you feel
that one? Good to see it? Um? But she did.
She went for it. But yeah. Sometimes they would like
we hadn't gotten to a first take yet and they'd
have to complete I like that you said replenish, replenish
the props and then they were like, oh and didn't
(13:28):
Ross Ross was our prop guy, Like I'm gonna spray
it was something else, Ross and Barbie that they were like,
she's connected diarrhea and then gratch it. Yeah, but back
to it back but it wasn't bad thing. I mean,
that's what you're supposed to do. She was in the moment.
She was in the moment, but she was I'd never
(13:48):
appreciated her acting abilities. I never appreciated her contribution to
the show when we were filming it because I was
young and it was all about me and us and
the kids. You know, in my mind, I just wasn't
developed enough to think outside of my little box. And
now watching it, I find myself wanting more scenes with Carol,
(14:10):
and wanting Jim and Cindy to talk to each other
about stuff like but because they don't, and jumping ahead
in the episode when when they're sitting on the couch,
you think that there's going to be a nice moment there,
but there isn't. Jim ends up getting a lovely blue
track suit from somewhere They send him a track suit,
(14:30):
which I was really into that track suit, and and
and Cindy gets mad because she thought it was a
present for her. And then Brenda comes in or Brandon
comes in and ruins the whole thing, So you don't
see what time and changed so much then nowadays on
like their storyline would be something they would have dates.
It would be eccentric storyline, not just the kids. Goodness
(14:52):
for us because we're at that age now. So I
think I think that in future episodes they do kind
of delve into the and dad world a little bit,
and maybe that wasn't what they wanted the show to
be or they you know, that's not what the viewers wanted,
so they kind of kept gradually going back to the
just the kids all the time. You see the bond
(15:13):
with them obviously with their kids on camera, where they
like that off camera. Did all of you guys bond
with them? Jim and Cindy. Yeah, James, James Eckhouse, I
feel like he was like with the boys hanging like
he was really really cool. Um. Carol was cool, but
she kind of would do her own thing and you know,
(15:33):
go to her dressing room and read and um. I
feel like James would always be like hanging out with
Jason and Luke and like talking like he was like,
don't you think Yeah, definitely, I feel like we didn't
really hang out with either of them. Yeah, I don't
even remember where they were kept. Like, you know, we
were out and we were rape motel um, we were
(15:59):
kept in our little boxes, but I don't remember where
their boxes were. Up to this point. They were only
they were the only two adults, I guess until they
I mean, you know, Gabrielle was older, she didn't. That
doesn't count. I don't consider that the kids she was,
(16:24):
but she didn't really engage in all the shenanigans that
went on up and set. She was like, Okay, cool,
you guys, I'm gonna go to my thing. Yeah that's true,
and we'd be all like she was a little more
mature than going out. Yeah she yeah, she was. Yeah.
She was the dead mom. Yeah, definitely always took on
(16:47):
that dead mom roles. Now she's not. No, she likes
to wow out. Well when you guys did b H
two and her storyline was like wow, but seriously, just
on a friend level, there's friends there, you know, even
sometimes four or five years. It makes a difference when
you're young, right, So now it's all balanced. Like we
(17:10):
went back to be h Nino to and the three
of us were like hanging out and having drinks, and
I was like Gab is the coolest person ever I've
known in my whole life. But like this was a
side we didn't share before and now all of a
sudden it was all equal and it was so nice.
It was it was well, the age difference when you're
(17:31):
teenagers supposed to people that are in their twenties, that's
night and day. She loves her vodka. Wow. She is
a proponent of of the vodka. What's your guys drink?
I mean we're drinking it right now? Red wine? Always wine? Um,
I like vodka wine. That that would be my same.
(17:52):
Why didn't Cindy want to higher a maid? And how
did that come to be? Did Jim hire her for
Cindy and in tell her or either that or like
the company did and like he forgot that was that
he forgot to tell her because I remember he said,
just shows up. Why the company higher? I'm confused, sorry,
because that's what you do in Beverly Hills. You get him,
you get a housekeeper, you get a maid, right, I
(18:14):
don't know, like you just get a free one. Well,
they just they show up at your doorstep. Apparently. Also
in this episode, Brandon and blows off his job and
shows up, goes to dinner or something with Dylan, right,
and they end up at what becomes the peach pit.
(18:35):
Mm hmm, it is the peach Bit. It doesn't look
like the peach Bit on the outside, but when they
were inside in the scene, it looks exactly like it's
it's always looked. And there's Nat. There was Nat behind
the counter. Joey Tata. Joey Tata, now joe Tata, I
will say he never stayed with the parents. He always
(18:58):
was right up in there with the kid, was he not?
He was? He was so fun and he was good fun.
On a Friday night once we were an age, he
would have a suit ut clarifying not a problem, a
bar in a suitcase. He had a bar in a suitcase.
(19:21):
And once we were all legal age Friday nights, peach
pit after dark and he scenes at the peach pit
and so on. We're good times. Oh, it's good to know,
but it just doesn't when you see him, don't you
don't When you see him, don't you just feel like
everything's gonna be okay. There's Nat, there's some pie, Everything's
(19:41):
gonna be okay. And that's where Brandon, that's where Brandon
starts working at the peach Pit, right, So the peach Pit.
I don't know the full story, but it was inspired
by a famous restaurant in l A called the Apple Pan,
which is known for pies and burgers exact, okay, because
(20:01):
they go there for pie, which makes sense. Yeah, and
then it starts evolving into it's like a diner. It
literally is a diner with a bar. It's like verbatim
Apple Pan. And they turned it into the peach Pit.
And that always happens with shows. They find like a
central hub that all the crew, all the casts can
congregate at and being all the scenes together. And that
(20:23):
was our that was our coffee shop, that was our
you know friend. Yeah. Who knew that it would become
so iconic, I feel like to us at the time,
it was just like, oh, like a fifties diner, Like
was that food real? Okay? No? The French fries that
(20:43):
were real. They gave us real French fries. That was nice.
The burgers one of those. I never ate a burger though,
did you. Um? I don't remember. Um, I didn't know this.
I am told me that the burgers were from Fat
Burger down the street. I'm interesting. I believe that. Did
you ever go to those little um candy machines in
(21:05):
the corner of the peach pit? Yeah, the kind you
put a little dollar like a coin in and turn
it and the the goodies come out. Did you get
what I got? Did you eat what you got? What
was it? Like, you guys your she got maggots? Maggot,
she got maggots with her cents? This the food And
(21:29):
I've been sitting there for so long it was like
petrified and nowhere's maggots in it. We didn't know all
mGy I'm gonna throw up. I think they were like
peanuts or something, or candy. It was something, of course
I did. I was probably distracted. Brian was probably like, oh,
look at your furry face, and I was like what,
(21:52):
oh my god, and like ate it and I was like,
mag it's a meeting maggots. You didn't fall for that,
You didn't even notice? Probably not good protein though. Does
anybody out there know what NAT's last name on the
show was? Do you know? Tor? I do bet? I
(22:13):
don't know how to pronounce it. Boom boosts boo boob
not bouschio U s s I or you can say
you want, I mean he was it never used because
nobody can pronounce it. I wonder why let it have
(22:34):
such a complicated name. Yeah, why we've gotten this trivia
before over the years, and we never can say it
or no likes can We just kind of know it
because we've gotten this trivia asked of us? Why why
did that name? It must have been somebody's name. Well,
and no, I can't put a real person's name. I
don't know. That's a tough one. Yeah, they just wanted
(22:55):
to mess with us. Remember Willie. Oh yeah, Willie back
on the on the grill behind Nat at the peach pit.
The guy the cook like he works there the way
this year, I know that was we were all we
loved Willie. And who has worked there at the peach bit?
Oh my god? What's his real name? And now I
(23:15):
feel terrible. I remember I remember a blonde woman named Nadine.
Oh my god, member, how do I remember when you
say these people? Were they I'm confused. Were they actors
or were they actual cooks that were hired to Okay,
it's there. Actors. They were actors. They just they were
(23:37):
always in the peach pit whenever we went there. They
were there already, like it's like they lived there. Yeah,
it was like, okay, who's the the guy that loves
Rachel at Central Perk and he never ever talked until
seasons later they gave him a line or two. They
were like that, which I think they did give William
(23:57):
Nadine eventually a line or two here in air. But
they were just like always there all the season. So
as an actor, is that considered that's not a full
time job, I'm assuming, or is it for something? He
was there every episode? Yeah, whenever we were shooting in
the peach Pit was they were on deck for sure?
(24:18):
You know, consistent we meet the peach Pit for the
first time. It's debuted to the world. Have you guys
seen any of the episodes besides the pilot at this point? No,
you mean in real time back then, real time when
you guys were filming. No, we were just flying blind.
We seen the pilot. Yeah, I don't even know if
(24:38):
we've seen the probably seen the pilot. I'm not sure.
It's nothing in head air. And when we were filming
episode three, when doesn't air, how many episodes until you
start airing stuff? I can go by my nose and
I turned sixteen in May, so we definitely filmed the
pilot before May, and after May, we definitely filmed in
(25:00):
the first episode, and then it's in premiere until October, right,
because this one was October. Why are you laughing, Jenny?
Because she said I can go by my night. That's
a barometer of like thinking her events in her life.
I was distracted by your nails and you put your
(25:22):
finger out on you guys, listen, listen, nails on right now?
She she puts them in our face just to piss
me off. I think you know. I talked with my
hands and don't see. I don't see your eyes go
into my hands. You guys, I'm a hand talker. I
love it. But you have nails right now for a
(25:43):
role you're doing, so we get it. Wait. I was
gonna say, yeah, well, I usually go back in my
life and um access dates by pregnancies because I've had
so many. But yeah, true pregnancies and plastic surgery. There
we go. Oh gosh, that's a true you guys, that's
(26:04):
great lesson for all the kids out there. Wait, I
have a funny line that I remember from this episode
that I remember loving. It's a Kelly line and it's
about Tiffany and she says, klepto nympho, all those that funny.
(26:26):
I don't know that's funny, that clepto NYMPHI there wasn't.
There was one that I liked. Um it was from
Tiffany and she goes, why don't you just go back
to mommy, Brenda, we're outside. You had a lot of
good singers. If you were in the episode, Tori, there'd
be so many more. Sorry, I guess I have those two.
(26:50):
If I was there, it was only it would have
been my well so I from the pilot, my second episode.
If I was there, so I would have just been,
you know, saying Hi. Still you really didn't Hi? Do
you remember you weren't there? I'm asking you if you remember,
but you watched it. Do you remember the scene when um,
(27:10):
Tiffany is being filmed by David Silver and she goes,
I know what you want and she takes off her
dress in the school Hello, And then the best part
of that scene is is when David just drops out
of frame. So good because that's what any teenage boy
(27:33):
would do if that happened. Because I just didn't happen
in school. No, that got me. I was like, wait,
what is happening. Well, we need to take a break
and we'll come right back. Oh my gosh, we have
(27:58):
the lovely Robin life Leon. Oh my gosh. Age. She
doesn't age. I was just gonna say that. So we
just we saw each other well year ago, now right,
I'd heard read it. Yeah. So and she doesn't age.
She looks exactly the same in person. So sweet, I'm there.
(28:21):
I just Jenny. How are hi? Oh my god? How
long is it Ben since I've seen you? I mean
I would it be back to the where we met? Yes? Probably? Well,
probably on set? Probably on set was probably last time
I saw you. We did a movie together when we were,
(28:43):
didn't We were in the same movie. I'm really trying
to figure this out because I was in a movie
called teen Angel and you were in a movie called Teenage. Yes?
Was it the same movie? Of course it was. I
remember we were in Utah uh uh. And that's how
(29:03):
we met. That's when the three of us met. Nine crazy.
She she does not have a good memory. This is
no reflection on you. She literally like, it's really great
that she even remembered meeting you on that movie. Let's
just say that you knew. I knew we had worked together, absolutely,
I just couldn't figure out what it was. But oh
(29:24):
my god, we shot that. It was like a year
before you guys started doing that to a No, And
it was on that And is that when you and
Jason started dating from that movie or you became friends? Yeah?
We started dating then. Yeah? How crazy that the three
of you were on that a year before nine o two?
And oh that's insane? Is that crazy that way? And
(29:50):
you how old were you? Wouldn't you and Jason met
and started going out. I was I was seventeen, seventeen
old was he? And then Jason was nineteen but even younger.
And then he told all of us he was so
yet I'm like, how old are you? Only he wouldn't
(30:14):
tell me And I ended up seeing his license and
he was so mad. It was like who cares? Like
he was almost twenty at the time. But you know,
that's how it happened for us to he We didn't
ever know how old he was until I think it
was Shannon stole his wallet one day when you were
on a break, Yes, and we all like hovered around
and looked at his license to find out it's really
(30:36):
that's so mad, and we assumed, like why wouldn't he
tell us, So everyone assumed like he was older and
trying to play younger because of it. And then Iron
was like, dude, who like like wants to age themselves up?
Like exactly, he was the same. Then you guys like
the exact same, And I think I did the same thing.
(30:56):
I think I actually took us wallet and looked. So
I'm so curious. Well, I uhould you deserve the right
to know you were like exclusively dating him, right, yeah, yeah,
so that's how well even though you guys met before,
that's how we came back around. And that's how Robin
and I met is she was dating Jason Priestley when
(31:18):
we started nine O two one oh right, that's all
you and Robin. So you dated him pre like fame,
pre stardom. Well wait, Sister Kate. It was during Sister Kate.
So it was actually a year before nine of two
and o and then a year into it. So it
was such a drastic shift in everything that dynamics were
(31:42):
just like and we were so young at the time,
you know, and try and I honestly like I feel
for him for for hanging into the relationship as long
as we did, because that had to have been so hard. Um,
it was life altering. That fame was crazy, as you
guys well know it was. It was a phenomenon and
it was interesting for me to be on the outside
(32:04):
of it, but looking in and seeing it happen and
him being just this young, you know, gorgeous kid from
from Canada, from Vancouver, and he was you know, he
had he had done a couple of projects, but no
one knew who he was at the time. So, um,
it was very interesting to have that that massive shift,
(32:25):
like I've never seen anything like it. Um. Yeah, did
you guys live together? Were you living together? When when
we never lived together? We discussed it, but that was
that was something that I was like, yeah, I know,
I'm I decided early on that I didn't want to
do that because I had seen it, you know, around me,
when people did that, and it was so much harder
to exeter relationship if you did that, and so I just,
(32:48):
oh my gosh, I have a question. Sorry, I'm gonna
ask the question. I have no idea. It's just because
I watched the unauthorized version of nine or two an
l on lifetime and I didn't even know this happen?
Is it? Did Jason live with Brad Pitt? I don't
think they lived together, no, but I mean now you've
been there, and I was like, yeah, I don't think,
(33:09):
not that I'm aware of. I mean, I we all
hung out together a lot, and that's how I met Bred. Gosh,
you guys, I remember being um talking about Yeah, let's
talk about Bred so um. Jason and I just started dating.
He was doing Sister Kate and he threw a surprise
birthday party for me and his roommate Dave. I'm sure
you guys know Dave Cheryl. So Dave was dating Hannah
(33:32):
Katron at the time. Hannah was on Sister Kate and
so they threw a dual surprise party for the two
of us, and there was Brad Pitt, who was not
Brad Pitt at the time. Was he I'm not landing yet.
I don't know. I just remembering, who is that? Oh
(33:53):
my god? He was just he was gorgeous. He was
absolutely gorgeous. And I mean those women would say that
about a man you were dating. But you hear you
copy that, yeah, copy that. Jason was you know, absolutely
gorgeous as you guys. So in fact, I was I
would always look at him and be like, I don't
know if I really like the fact that he's so
(34:16):
much more beautiful than me, Like he's so gorgeous, like
this is this Okay, I don't know. I was a
woman who is totally gorgeous. But yes, I we're all
we're all girls here. We get that eyes. Did you
ever get over did the eyes ever get easier to
look at or were they just always like those eyes?
(34:36):
I don't care what he's saying or doing, those eyes,
It was always the eyes. Right, you guys are so funny. Well,
I mean, Tori, you know, do you guys know that?
Then I auditioned for nine O two and oh and
was offered the role of Andrea before Jason actually was Yes,
I know. My dad loved you. He loved you so much,
(34:59):
love you our dad. I was. It was so wonderful
to get to work with him. He's he in this industry.
He was in a class of his own. He was
so wonderful, as you know, and I loved him so much,
so I was so happy to get to go on
to do Savannah but and work with him. But yeah,
I auditioned for Andrea before Jason went in, and I
(35:24):
passed on it. I met with your dad and loved him,
but I passed because I was like, at that point,
I kept playing the same role of the underdog, and
I was just like, yeah, I just don't want to
do this. I don't want to do this rolling anymore.
And I loved the role of the sister, but Shannon
was already playing the role. So I ended up passing
and then Jason went and got it, And honestly, like
(35:47):
to this day, I feel totally fine with that decision
because I can't imagine. The breakup was hard enough on
its own, because he was really my first love. You know,
we were I was so young and he was so young,
and we were crazy about each other, and it was
just it was a lot. It was a lot for
relationship and ship for two people that were that young.
(36:08):
Can you imagine if you guys were on set together
and that would have been rough. I be like, it
would have been so horribly painful and so terrible. I
can't imagine. I dated a guy that that I worked
that I was working with on Savannah, and it was
a night man. Oh, David Gale. You guys know, David, Yes,
(36:30):
he was. Yeah, I shouldn't say it wasn't it was
a nightmare. Go ahead. It was really hard, you guys.
It was We should save this for off the podcast,
but you know he was great. He was great and
and but it was just tough because it forced us,
I think, to stay together long than longer than we
ever should have should have. And my dad always said
(36:51):
to me, Robin, don't ever fish off the company Pierre,
and I was like, too late, I already did that.
That's like, don't where you eat exactly, but the dad
doesn't don't fish off the company Pierre. You guys, you
guys didn't swhere you dated Brian, though, was was that hard.
(37:18):
We haven't gotten there at this point in the podcast,
and when we do, it's going to be the girl's
version of what dating was in the boys version, because
he said, she said, is always different in each other's minds.
But um, you know what I want to ask. I
want to ask from your perspective. Obviously you said, like,
(37:39):
you know, life altering for him, everything blew up like
and we know, but we don't know because it was
very different for the boys, specifically for Jason and Luke,
and I would love to hear from your perspective, like
behind the scenes at home, what was it like for Jason,
because Jason to this day still says that he has
(37:59):
a hard time into shopping malls because of his experiences. Yes, yes,
oh my, you guys, we didn't know that. And he
told Ummer like he said it took him to his
daughter was at a certain age and like to go
again because he just couldn't do it. Yeah. Well, I
guess I do hold a very special position here. Knowing
(38:22):
Jason before and then Jason eight year into it was
it was like everything was blowing up. But as you
guys know, he is so wonderful and he was so
wonderful to me, and um, I loved him with my
entire being. Um and he um yeah, um. So I
(38:43):
know they have a special place they really, honestly they do.
And yeah, so this is a this is an interesting story.
So I had been into interesting my whole life since
I was a child, and we would go to events
and things and you know how they're like, oh, get
a photo with Rob, you know, Robert, Okay, Robin and
j Okay Jay. Soon we step out of the way, please,
(39:05):
and then they wanted just singles of me and whatever,
nam Bill. I didn't. I didn't think anything about it.
But then obviously not which one know what happens, and
everything was like we would be driving down the road
and girls would just start screaming and screaming, and I'm like, Oh,
this is so weird, this is so hard. I feels
(39:25):
so awful. I don't like this, And I mean I
felt insecure about it because I just thought how how
much pressure that much must be for him, and how
tempting that must be for him to be like, oh,
he could have literally anybody he wanted, you know. So
we went from having this set like most trusting and
wonderful relationship too, I think a lot of insecurities. And
(39:47):
I would sit there and watch. We'd go to meetings
with people from People magazine and they would just be
all up in his business. Oh you're so wonderful, You're
so this, and I would just sit on the outside
watching and I'm just like, uh, I can't do this,
this is so hard. But Jason, his his life got
so busy, and um, I suddenly was I loved his publicists.
(40:11):
We were all like a little family. But then it
became very Uh it was I was invited less and
less to red carpet events. Um. They wanted him to
have the image of a single guy. And that was
really hurtful for me. Um, but you know, it is
what it is. And like I said, we were so young,
and Jason handled it the best he could. And uh, yeah,
(40:32):
I mean it was hard. It was really hard. And
then to break up and then have to go into
the store and see him plaster on every magazine cover
was horrible, breaking my heart. Rob and Lively, Uh, you're
super happy and everything worked out for you. So but yeah,
if you know what it does, it does, and and
(40:54):
honestly like it, like we I Jason, I have said
the same thing, you know, like his family is so
beautiful and so wonderful and mine as well, but you
know you always have a special place. Are you so
close with them? I feel no, I no, I no, no, no,
But I feel like I saw I saw on Instagram
his sister had posted and you commented or something, and yeah,
(41:15):
we're friends. You talking everyone's Instagram. Sorry, No, Um, we're friends,
but we don't. It's not like we talk all the time.
But if something comes up and I don't if I
have a question or you know, we don't hesitate to
reach out. But it's not like, oh hey, let's you know,
we don't hang out as families, but we should. Um.
(41:36):
I've never met his wife, and she's absolutely stunning and
you would adore her. She literally the nicest human you've
ever met. Seems like she really does. She seems like
their family is so so beautiful, and so clearly he
has so good taste in women, like nice women know everyone. Yeah,
(41:57):
I mean obviously friends with Christina Lee and they were
together for years and she's just a good person. He does,
he's really good taste of women. Okay, well, thank you brother. Um.
But it's it's interesting to hear your perspective because I
never thought of it that way. I just, you know,
we were young and it was like, okay, Jason's with
Robin and we love you and we saw you, and
(42:18):
then you guys weren't together, and we never heard the story.
I'm sure the guys did. We weren't privy to that.
And but to hear it from the young girl's perspective
of going out with someone that has insta fame and
all of a sudden you have there, I wouldn't be
able to handle that. I that just gave me all
the fields of going back to my teen years and
being jealous. Like Jenn and I went through like first
(42:42):
loves like together, and it was hard then. I can't
imagine my first love being Jason Priestley, who was like
the biggest star in the world at the time, Like
that's insane, yeah, right, And it was able to deal
with it. No, it was so terrible to be that
young and like um and impressionable, and it was such
formidable years for me during that time, and I was
(43:06):
oh got seventeen to nineteen um. And then to have
to deal with the pain of it on its own
and then to have to be exposed to all of
that constantly was it. I think it prolonged it for me.
It was just like I couldn't get past it for
so long. Not that I couldn't get over him, but
it was just the ouch of it all, you know,
(43:26):
the hurt of it all was like because it was everywhere.
It was you guys were everywhere. You didn't watch Beverly
hill Is nine or two one, oh huh for a while.
That's okay, you have a really good I loved you guys,
and I loved the show and I felt so much
(43:47):
a part of it because I knew all of you
and adored you all. So it was that was also
hard for me. Um, but I ended up watching it
because I did love it. I loved it so much.
What did you think when he wrote about it in
his book? Um? That was very very It was very surprising.
It was took me by surprise because I did not
know that that was happening. I had absolutely no clue.
(44:09):
I heard that the book came out, and then one
of my friends said, oh, I'm sure he's written about you,
and I said, no, he would I'm sure he would
have told me or I doubt it. And then I
saw the screenshot of an interview with him and there
was my photo with him on the set of Teenagel Denny,
as you know, and I was like, oh my gosh,
(44:32):
what And so I immediately I'm like, I need this book.
I need to see what did he say? What did
he say about me? It was all good, though, right,
it was all good. It was so all good, all good,
and I'm sure that's why he didn't say anything to
me about it. But it couldn't have been kinder um
for sure, but I was like, good night, get the
book fast enough, Robin. I can't. First of all, I
(44:55):
can't believe how gorgeous you look. You're well I did
say about me, not saying that I'm already either. You're
just a really pretty woman. You must be very happy.
I like that so having you you too, Thanks for
being on our show. Oh, it's just my absolute pleasure. Guys.
You should get together at some point. I miss you guys, genuinely.
(45:18):
I do. I know when we can get together. Let's
do that. Let's see that. That That would have been so
much more fun to have seen you guys and giving
you hugs. Um. I love being a part of this.
It was really really fun. Thanks for having good to
see you. Oh my god, she is so cute. I'm
not gonna lie. I was a huge fan of teen,
(45:38):
which me too. I don't want to say it, but
I always saw the entire time we were talking to her, right,
he looks the same. Um. Like a beautiful woman she is.
And she's an insane acting family. I don't know if
anyone knows, like her sister is Blake Lively. Yeah, it's
like her baby sister, right, and um, that's yeah, that's
(46:00):
crazy because she's married to Ryan Reynolds, who I named
my dog after his name is Arthur Bear Reynolds, because
he's the love child Ryan Reynolds. Do you remember the
song from teen Wich Now I want to be the
most popular girl? You remember that? No more? Now? That's it,
(46:25):
that's it. It makes sense now that we saw a
little like inside into Jason's love life of an X
because an X comes back in the next week's episode.
I said the word next a lot in next week's episode.
In next week's episode, Brandon's ex girlfriend comes to visit.
(46:51):
So it's kind of full circle that we just talked
to Robin about Jason's X. Now in life, now I
want to hear Jason's side, Like I wonder was she
his first love? And was he conflicted? Like I want
to think like romance never dies. I want to think
he was conflicted, Like oh my gosh, I'm the biggest
star in the world, like I keep saying the world,
(47:12):
like the world. I'm such a big like star now
and like every woman wants me, but I have the
love of my life, Like what do I do? Like
did he he was young? I mean I feel like
they were both so young. She made it seem like
he felt conflicted. I know she did. I'm sure he.
(47:36):
I mean, yeah, he always looked so fondly of her.
But it's just different from a boy and a girl's perspective.
It always is, no matter what age you're at. Was
it really that bad or I wouldn't say bad, but
was it that intense when you guys would go to
the mall or go anywhere publicly? Like? Did he get mom? Like,
I'm trying to like picture what it was like for
(47:57):
you guys. Yes, it like to he said, it was
worse for the guys because they became these instant heart throbs.
But I can't I'm looking for heart throbs. Yeah. I
can remember one time, uh Fox booked Luke and me
into an appearance, And this might be wrong, but I
(48:20):
think it was at a zoo, which kind of makes sense, um,
But I can remember the frenzy and the just chaos
that came about and how they had to like extract
us from the zoo and we were going through back
cages and trying to figure out a way out where
(48:41):
we couldn't we wouldn't get hurt because people were going
nuts and it was scary, and there was like the
infamous story about Luke and Jason in a mall right,
I don't know this story. Yeah, I thinks that's so crazy.
The stage was getting like I was like beetles. Yeah,
(49:03):
that they had to take them out in like a
laundry basket or like a they had a hide and
get them back there rolling like in the movies, like
when people hide from Yeah, that's what they had to do.
So I just remember I remember coming in Monday morning
and like all the whisperings in the dressing room we
would hear about and we were like what happened. It
(49:23):
was like not just like imagine coming back to school
after the weekend and you're all talking about like the
drama that happened, Like I went to this party and
this boy, Like we had real drama. We would come
back on Monday and it was like, oh my gosh,
Like Luke Berry and Jason Priestley had to be smuggled
out of the ball because the fans were like they
were worried about them because there were so many people
(49:44):
so excited, they were worried they would get injured. And
it was on the news and it was like insane. Yeah,
that first season was insane, and I just have so
many vivid memories of being at appearances, being like on
display and trying to do what I was supposed to
do and being scared for my life and just looking
out to the see of people and they were all
(50:06):
so excited. So the energy was just so frenzied. It
was really scary. And that happened a lot in the
in the beginning. Yeah, would you second guess going out
just to run an errand at that point, yeah, I
mean it affected me differently I think than I. Of
(50:27):
course took it extreme and I sort of got like
agoraphobic where I wouldn't I couldn't leave the house, like
I was not interested in leaving the safety of my home,
whether I'd go to work and go home. And that
was it. And that's how we had our first life
wife date, which you don't remember. I remember. You leaned
(50:52):
on each other, became friends, and we decided like we
were going to have our first like kind of you know,
friend get to get other outside of work. And it
was crazy, so we couldn't do anything, but we had
d I y in in commons, so we actually you
were the first person to take me to Michael's, which
is like my oasis of life now. And we went
(51:12):
to Michael's and you taught me how to hook a rug,
and we sat in your house and we were huckily,
like in rocking chairs. We were seeing our future as
old women in rugging. Chaersey just clearly laid out, Yeah,
the days which people would think, I mean, we did
(51:32):
go out and have times at clubs and stuff, but
like it's that memory of being with you in your
in your house and learning how to hook a rug
and just becoming friends with you that I cherished the
most rather than any moment going out to like a
club or a restaurant that age. It's just funny to
me that I taught you how to hook a rug.
(51:54):
What am I like a pilgrim? I'm a settler on
the port rock. Where did I get there? Because you're
a crafter and I'm a crafter, and that's like, amongst
other things, what we bonded over. And you were like,
have you ever hooked a rug? And I was doing
like diapage and stuff like that was very in Then
(52:15):
I was like, you've never hooked a rug and you're like,
I'll show you me, show me when you guys started
going to clubs, were you able to just walk up
or and you guys had tables, like you didn't have
to do anything right, they just let you right in.
I'm assuming I'm like, come on, that's a dream when
you're that age. Yeah, you get you kind of go
(52:36):
in the back door, you go in the side door, don't. Yeah,
it's very um exclusive feeling, if that's what you're off,
because well, when I moved to l A, I would
stand outside of a club right when they opened at
ten am and just see a bunch of people get
lit in before me. And it was just like, you know,
very different from my l A experience. We were a boyfriend.
(53:03):
We were with a boyfriend who became your husband, and
a boyfriend I didn't stay with, but they became friends.
So we I feel like when we went out on
the scene, it wasn't just like girls going out. We
were always with guys, like it was. Do you remember
going to see Lenny Kravitz. I want to say yes,
but like she's big into music and her first husband
(53:29):
was a drummer. Drummer, so she was like big into
the music scene and that was different for me. I
never like, I never dated a musician ever. And so
you know, like we went to concerts and stuff, and
I remember I was scared of concerts and hate them,
but I wanted to go with Jen and we went
(53:49):
to Lenny Kravitz concert. We have it sounds like we
were body suits, like matching body suits and jeans. I
just remember that. Ah. Well, that's one thing we haven't
discussed is the fashion from this episode. Because you saw
mc hammer pants, you saw the big blazers. Brian's blazers
(54:13):
were like out of control, like the first few episodes,
like I don't get it. Yeah, he had a cool
look though. I really liked because he had like concert
teas on and his little jeans and jackets. He just
and he had jewelry. He looked really cute. But there
was a whole broad spectrum of different looks for different
(54:34):
types of people on the show. For sure, I like
Brenda's outfits in this episode. I thought she looked super
cute with like she had blazers and little scrunchy socks
and um there in I just bought a pair remember
my tool, the white scrunchy ones. Yeah, they were called
(54:56):
made by Eric or something. I just don't remember the
name Eric socks. It might who old to wear them.
Now she's gonna say, yes, I'm not going to comment
scrunches a mate have made to come back. My kids
wear them. My kids wear scrunchy socks. Yeah, oh everything.
The slouchy backpacks. I remember having one of those when
(55:17):
I saw them in this episode. I remember I really
understand the hat though, the hat choices, but remember blossom.
I feel like it was the blossom air, like those
hats were in and flowers, and I know when people
talk about floral being in, I'm like, we did that
(55:38):
decades ago, but really it was probably being repeated from
like a previous time. That was maddening. You guys, like
remember when we were young and we'd wear like seventies
clothes and we'd be like, oh, we're getting vintage stuff.
It's so cool. And your parents would be like, yeah,
we wore that in sixty stuff, and we're like, we
don't know what you're talking about. It's that feeling now
(56:00):
now that's happening in and we're like, it's happening and
you become you feel old. It's just like when your
parents had to read a pendy with with reading glasses.
And now it's just like when the music and you're like,
turn that right down. I can't. Oh my god. You
could listen to these days and you hear your parents,
(56:21):
You're like, oh, it's happening. It just came out. We're
never going with short hair, though, I'm not going to
say right now. I mean like, I will literally physically
hold you down if you ever go to get like
a short grandma do like, you're never doing that. Grandma
(56:43):
hair to the end, long hair to the end. It's
so much work. You had your hair in the series
at some point, right, yeah, both of you did. But
we'll get to that. Mind was the accident first? Was
on purpose? Yeah, we'll get to this. Many hairs. Yeah, well,
(57:03):
I think that's about it, you guys, Right for this
episode anyway, we covered it. We covered it. What's next,
next episode? That's right, that's your homework, guys, watch the
next episode so we can chat about it.
