Speaker 1 (00:03):
With Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hello everybody, welcome to
nine O two and o MG the podcast. I'm Jenny Garth.
I'm here with the beautiful Tori Spelling and hey guys,

(00:23):
welcome the season to you. Guys made it into Yes,
it's so exciting. This is I feel like this is
where things are going to get exciting. I got that
feeling too, you too. And we broke our little streak
of unluckiness third times the Charm Well because our amazing

(00:46):
show Mry Girls. If you haven't seen it, you should.
Our sitcom only Sadly got one season b H nine
O two and Oh Sadly one season and now nine
O two one OMG the podcast season two. We made it.
We broke the streak. Says you might be our good
luck charm. I doubt it. I doubt it. You have

(01:09):
to be in every single thing we do. It's all
the fans that listen every single week. That's the thing,
you guys. Everybody is really loving the podcast. We should
just take a minute to um appreciate all of our listeners.
Because doing the live show that we did last week
for the rat Party, we got to talk to a
lot of fans, and um, just here the effect that

(01:32):
the show is having on different people in different ways,
and it's really cool. Didn't you feel like all warm
and fuzzy like a wart. I can't believe you said wart.
I thought we were done with that. I'm sorry, I
just had to bring it back now. Whenever I think
of warm and fuzzy, I think never goes away. And
that's like, so she thinks of us as a ward,
It just never goes away. We're stuck. You're stuck with

(01:54):
us forever. But then we come back something new, and
I think, Um, I know. The fans, they were so great.
It was so nice to hear from them and to
know that, you know, a lot of them said that
we had gotten them through hard times in their lives,
and then just with this last year, they were really
happy to have that warm, fuzzy yes Ward spot to

(02:17):
come back to and revisit and help us be with them. Yeah.
People are listening to us while they work out, while
they drive to work, while they're at work, while they're
at home doing the kitchen, the dishes. I don't know.
They're just listening to us all the time, and that's
so awesome, And we just really appreciate you guys, very grateful,

(02:38):
and you know what, we love being together. This is great.
It was so nice being in person. We wish you
had been their sister, but Jen and I had so
much fun in person. How long had it been the
two of you were together in the same room. I
don't know, like at least eight months, Like before when
we started doing the promos for this show, I remember

(03:00):
where you guys were together on the couch right where
Jen's house. And then since then, definitely since we started
the podcast, we have only done it on zoom. I
feel like the last time I saw you was my
birthday one year ago, when you threw the doritos over
my gate. That was not the last time, but that
was a good memory. It was like very say anything,

(03:23):
like sitting on the car, like music blasting. She did
a drive by for my birthday. And I have a
guilty pleasure of eating Dorito's from time to time and
she can't just have a back of deritos. Oh my god,
remember that moment. So we were six ft apart and
both of us had tears in our eyes, and we
were just so excited to see each other. And then

(03:44):
we looked around we said, can we because we haven't
seen anybody else, and then we just looked around. No
one was watching, and we just embraced and I And
that was a lot because a year ago that was like,
you know, real lockdown. We were all so scared of
the unknown anything. Yeah, things are starting to look a

(04:05):
little brighter, which is so exciting. Yes, I got my
second vaccine. Let see my band aid there. Yeah. I
think everybody should know what how big of a trooper
Jenny is right now because she just got her vaccine
last night yesterday, you get it, yesterday midday. I was
knocked out. So the fact that you're here and you
have makeup on and your hair is cute. Like I

(04:28):
got eight inches of makeup on right now for you guys,
because I did not sleep. And I just want to
tell everyone that is listening what a great best friend
she is. She had a miserable night, she had horrible reactions,
and then she said, Nope, I'm gonna I'm gonna get
this podcast done this morning because right after this podcast,
I'm going to get my second shot. And she wanted

(04:48):
me to get it. That's gonna make me cry. I
love you, I love you, Hey, you guys. I also
want to say thank you too our whole production team
for a great first season. And we had so so
much learning went on and so much, so many challenges,
and we made it through. And we wouldn't have been
able to do that without the support of everybody at

(05:11):
my heart and um all of our teams. So thank
you so much to everyone who is behind us, supporting us. Yeah,
there's I don't know how they do it, but they
are able to like tap into your computer and adjust
your levels and mis and all this stuff. It's magical difficulties.
You guys know, we're not tech savvy. We would be

(05:31):
like writing down the podcast on a piece of paper
and like having a pigeon carrier take it and be
like drop it somewhere messaging a bottle. Like, we don't
know how to do this stuff every week and it's
all because of them. We still have a o L accounts,
So if that gives you any hints as to where
we are, listen, I'm loyal to my AO. Well, I

(05:52):
don't want to. I can't get rid of it, just
like I can't get rid of you, ever. I can't
get rid of my AO L ever. I can't quit
you can't quick away, will that you got mail you love.
We had a great rap party, So thanks for everybody
who put so much effort into planning that. Tory and

(06:13):
I had a blast and so much fun. And thank
you to the Beverly Hilton for hosting us. Oh my god,
that was amazing. I didn't never wanted to leave that Now,
now we should have just stayed there and like not
did you end up leaving, Jenny? Because I know you
had like a soccer zoom afterwards? How they go? How
to go be a mom? In her pajamas? She she

(06:34):
left in her padramas. She got us these cute matching
pajamas and they were so comfortable. I didn't feel like changing,
so I just marched myself right through the lobby of
the Beverly Hilton. Said. Everyone has been asking where we
got those pajamas because they need them in their life.
They look like Beverly Hills, the palm trees, the pink background.

(06:55):
We got them on Amazon. I we got them in Beverly.
It was just Amazon. You guys, just literally, you know,
go on Amazon and look up Beverly Hills print palm
o because that's how we roll. We last minute always
go oh crap, we have to show up somewhere what

(07:18):
are we gonna wear? Because we like to kind of like,
you know, uh, compliment one another with our colors and
whatever whenever we wear. So this was a last minute
purchased by you, um, and it was really cute and
I love them. You got his kimonos. We're gonna do
our next one. Our kimonos. Did they come out? Your
kimono hasn't come yet, but mine's here. Lucky you which

(07:42):
colors yours? Well, you can have whichever color you want.
I got the pink one is here, the green ones
on its way. Okay, I like the colors. Um. The
funny thing is that even when I mean, we do
discuss things typically like oh, what are you gonna wear?
So we compliment each other, But a lot of times
we'll show up up for you know, just like dinner
or drinks or meetings, and our colors go together like magically.

(08:06):
It's like the weirdest thing, and people like, did you
you guys match? Did you plan that? And we did this? Yeah?
Like then doing these zoom meetings, we're creating something very exciting.
We can't talk about it, but we always show up
in the same like in the same color. It's cute.
We did one the other day and we had like
the same shade of was it like brown terra cotta terracotta?

(08:30):
It was. It was a prettier color. It was the
exact same color. Something I never wear. And something told
me that morning to grab my terra cotta blows and
you had a terra cotta turtle neck on. She ate
some when I wear turtle necks, you guys, and it
makes me want to wear them all the time. I
know she loves to do what I hate. I never

(08:51):
know how to do my hair. When I wear a turtleneck.
It's like, do I put it upside? Just cover so much?
I like the coverage personally, but coverage is what I crave.
Oh my gosh, I had a dream last night. Oh
my god. Okay, so maybe it's because I watched Beach

(09:12):
Blanket Brandon right before I went to bed. Uh, So
I had a dream we were on the set back
on the original set in our hallway in our dressing rooms,
and we were filming, but we were present day and uh,
interaction was just with you and it was just with Jason,
and Jason was really psyched because he had just got
this big commercial. So he was like telling me in
between like setups, like I've got this huge commercial. I

(09:34):
was like, I'm so proud of you. And then I
went into a scene that you weren't in. You were
in your dressing room, and for some reason I was
able to play it back when I got to my
dressing room and Jen, I'm not telling, I'm not lying.
I turned to the side in the scene and there
was five necks hanging from my chin. It looked you guys.

(09:58):
So it was a nightmare. Rolls rolls. It was like
a rubber suit, and I was like, oh, no, what
do I do? But then I was like, oh, but
my outfit looks really cute. My body looks like in shape,
and I was like put my neck and I ran
in and I was like, we gotta do something about this,
like by tomorrow. I don't know what to do. And

(10:18):
then I woke up. This sounds like conversations we've actually had,
so we talked about this stuff all the time. Well,
you next look great. It was just a dream, that's hilarious.
You We were back in the hallway of the studio
where they kept us locked up what did you see
the blue carpet and everything. Yes, yes, And my my

(10:41):
dressing room. Remember when I painted it that like pepto
bismo color, it was like pink. I was like, I
want to pink because growing up, my mom always picked
out my room colors and I'd be like, I want
Wizard of Oz and she's like, oh, I'm sorry, they're
out of that wallpaper. And it would be like plum
plumb floral, like something a young girl wouldn't have. So

(11:01):
when I had my dressing room, I could do it
however I want it. I painted it pink and it
was pepto bismo pink. And then I was like, I
think that was a mistake, but I was back in it.
The difference between you and I. You painted yours pepto
bismal pink and I painted mind Black's the difference between us.

(11:23):
It is pepto bismal. I kept calling it pepto bismo.
I just want to get a pismo beach. Anyway, speaking beach,
Speaking of beach, you guys, Season two, Episode one, Beach
Blanket Brandon air date July eleven, Hey, July eleventh, that's
my anniversary, I think. Anyway, one of my anniversaries. You

(11:49):
did get married in July, Yeah, I think, yeah, tell
them a little bit of I do synopsis. Schools out
and for Brandon, it's the beginning of a new job,
but it also could be the beginning of the end
for Brenda and Dylan. Brenda suspect she may be pregnant
and the results of a home pregnancy test are inconclusive.

(12:12):
Directed by Charles braven Boops, directed by Charles Braverman and
written by Darren Starr. Take Me to the Beach. Let's
do this people. I'm so excited to get out of
the school. But then wait, I was really excited to
get out of the school because some schools out. And
then the next scene they're back in the school was

(12:35):
summer school, baby, the last day day. See that feeling though,
because everyone knows that feeling of the last day of
school when you're just counting down the minutes, like running
running through the hallways. High five And even the girl
and the crutches was really excited running down the hall
in her crutches. This is true. And then this, okay,

(12:55):
so we should talk a little bit about how this
season happened and so rapidly, so we had our first season,
it wasn't the ginormous success that the show inevitably became,
and they were thinking of new ways to try to
beat it, beat everyone to the punch, like get successful.

(13:18):
There were so many shows on at the time, and
I believe the story is my dad said, what if
we do something at the Beach Club, very like Flamingo Kid,
Brandon gets a job the Beach Club and then all
the friends will go there during the summer. So in
order to do and premiere during the summer, which we
had just ended the season. So we didn't remember this,

(13:42):
but Darren Starr said, we all literally well, they had
no time off. The writers and producers had to go
immediately into prepping season two. But we probably, you know,
typically would have a summer off. We didn't. We went
back like a month later, right, yeah, something like that,
and there was no other There was no other shows
on any other networks that we're doing fresh content because

(14:05):
everything was in rerun mode during the summer and covering
the Gulf four during that summer. I mean, you didn't
have a million streaming networks or platforms that you could
watch whatever you want anytime. You had to literally wait
all summer for new episodes of TV programming to come on,
and it was so boring because you're finally out of
school and you want to watch some TV, but there's

(14:26):
it's not anything new. I mean luckily summer break. Like
back then, there wasn't social media, there wasn't streaming, so
we had to like, you know, do stuff outdoors your
family and friends. Um, which was great. Isn't that crazy
that that's not how life is now there's content, fresh
content streaming and all year round. Yeah, there was nothing.

(14:51):
It was called hiatus and there was nothing on reruns. Ah,
no one wanted to see that, not that soon, but
it was and new genius move to put new episodes
on for the summer as that's when the audience really
was like, Hey, I kind of like this. I loved
this episode. Two I just loved um. I love seeing

(15:15):
the life at the beach and getting Brandon kind of
out of the peach pit for a little bit, even
though I'm gonna miss Nat. He was hard on him.
He didn't take it well at all at first because hello,
Brandon just was like, Hey, I got a new job,
I'm leaving right now. Yeah that's harsh. Um And and

(15:36):
Douglas Emerson, who plays Scott, who was a series regular
in season one, we find out is a guest star
now season two. Um and so that relationship we can
tell is heading in a different direction. Um. And he
says he's going away for the summer, so he's not
going to be part of the gang. That was sad.

(15:56):
How is that as an actor to be I mean,
I don't want to demoted, but yeah, it is. I'm
sure you haven't experienced it, But like, do you think
he was bummed about it? I'm sure he was. Yeah, yeah,
it's a big break for him, but I know, you know,
we've talked to him before and we're going to have

(16:18):
him back. But he had such a good attitude about it,
and he was so happy to be there while he
was there, and you know, he had a great time.
He was always such a bright light on the set.
He was just he's a great guy. And he was,
you know, even a great kid, always mature, always smiling,

(16:38):
just always happy. We'll straight straight out of the gate.
I noticed what we talked about before about the sound dubs,
like the voiceovers, the looped lines that we had to do.
I noticed one right away when um, Donna says to Kelly,
you should work on getting your voice back. That scene

(16:58):
while they're where they're sitting in the last class of
school and Kelly's talking and she sounds like a frog.
I guess I had lost my voice. Um, And they
didn't really know how to explain that, so they just
added a line from Donna off camera, you should work
on getting your voice back, Kelly. Right, So weird, but

(17:21):
I did sound like a frog. That happens to me.
Does that happen to you, guys? I like once a year,
I will lose my voice entirely. It's when you get sick.
She like rarely gets sick, and when she gets sick,
she always loses her voice, and it's usually always on camera.
It's like our first episode a B H nine O
two and ow she got I mean you were probably

(17:42):
so we were all a little stressed, but yeah, you
got stuck right before we filmed and she had no voice.
That was crazyly happens to me. It happened to me
a lot in my early twenties, but it was because
I used to party a lot. So if I've had
a way to like Vegas for the weekend, that Monday
Show I, Oh, it was a struggle. I would lose
my voice often. Well, it's kind of hard to lose

(18:04):
your voice and be an actor, and that's your job
is just talk. So it's always like people are like, oh,
it sounds so sexy, and to me, it sounds literally
like a dead frog. So I don't agree with I
liked it, and I thought it was cute, but I
saw that. I saw that to another time in this episode,

(18:25):
UM moving ahead, when Dylan and Brenda are talking to
one another on the front porch, I um recognized another
one of those loop lines. I did not notice this
at all. They bug me because they're just so they tried,
but the technology wasn't what it is today. So when

(18:46):
you go into a sound studio and you rerecord a
line and then they kind of like lay it in
on the track, it just it didn't sound the same
then and they didn't have a way to fix it,
I guess. But now everything is so smooth you can't
even tell when there's a loop line. Little technical things
like that. Guys, we need to talk about the intro

(19:09):
because I was so excited seeing that new intro, the
new song, and it just kind of I feel like
It pumped me up even more for this season. I
was pumped. You were pumped, like I was like, grinning,
that's so fun. I didn't even notice the good you've

(19:30):
noticed that, you notice I really excited. I didn't remember
that it went to that. I thought it was going
to go to our normal one that season three through
the spinny ones. Yeah, where we're all like on a
set and we're doing our dance together, and I thought
it was going to be that. But then I was like, Oh,
it's the beach, and I you remember that day? Was

(19:51):
it the photo shoot on the beach? So which one
with the shirts of the bathing suits? Was that not
the same day? Was probably all the same day? I
think it was, but that wouldn't make sense because we
so we did this photo shoot on the beach. It
was our first photo shoot altogether, and we all had
Beverly Hills nine T shirts on in different colors, different
primary colors, and like jeans or jeans shorts, and I

(20:15):
thought that photo shoot was for teen magazine, But I
could be wrong. I'm not sure, but I feel like
it was the same day. And then we changed into
bathing suits and stuff and did all of our things Yeah,
I have a very little memory of that day, but
I think you're right. I think that was for teen magazine,
and then the bathing suits was for the opening credits. Well,
some of those shots became posters that I had on

(20:37):
my wall personally in my bedroom, So it did go
to good use. Whatever you guys did that day on
that perfect perfect I remember that day because there it
was like the first time I felt like we were
all like touching, touching, touching, No, no, no, no no touching
because we weren't you like in a bikini on someone's shoulders.

(21:00):
All of you were are you were in a bikini
on someone's shoulders as well? We all were. Who was
holding you? I believe it was Brian because you're on iron,
Jenny because he probably was the only one strong enough
to hold me, and Andrea was on top of Jason Gabrielle.

(21:21):
That was well, we were definitely touching at that moment. Yeah,
we did a lot. It was It was all very
like even with the jean shorts and the and the
T shirts. It was like the first time the group
like they had music and they were like just have
fun and we were running around and playing football and
tug of war. I remember that like all these different

(21:44):
things and then everyone was just like all touching, and
I just remember as a young girl being like like
it was very like exciting being like seventeen and like,
oh my god, all these cute boys are touching me.
Oh my god, was funny. You crack me up so much.

(22:05):
But it's like such an honest reaction because I get it.
It's seventeen. Your hormones are crazy, and that would have
been so fun to shoot. Yeah, like just like imagine
like all these hot boys are like putting their hands
on your waist and like hugging you and taking pictures
all wrapped around you, and you're just like I was
living my best life that day. Take her back. And

(22:28):
then I got put up on a surfboard and they
post Luke, Brian and Iron were all holding me. Ah
that you know what, that was my best moment. That's
when you peeked. It was I peeked there from there.
Not like any of your children's birth maybe your wedding day, nothing,

(22:48):
nothing compares to that. It was Luke, Jason, Brian and
Iron holding me up on a surfboard in a bikini.
It was that just I'm gonna get that made on
your next birthday cake, then please do. But Brandon was
so tiny in that scene where he was showing out

(23:08):
for them to be the lifeguard. He was like a
little miniature person compared to all the other people. He was,
Oh my gosh, biceps in this little chest and one
and only time we've ever seen Jason without a shirt on?
Is that right? And now we know why he was
very pale. He looked very cold, and he had like

(23:31):
no muscles. Obviously he's gorgeous and had a great bity
like he is like young boy muscles. Yeah, but it
was like those type of young boy muscles that like
he never worked acts. He didn't have to. He just
had like a great body, that type of thing actually,
like yeah, naturally thin like little boy muscles. And and
now he works out every day and he's very very fit.

(23:54):
Um because he has to be because his wife teaches
spin I mean help me as a killer body. Um.
I was excited to see the boss, the Mr Thomas,
like the boss man of the Beach Club. I didn't

(24:14):
remember his name was Henry Thomas. I know he that
was James Pickings Jr. Is that correct? Am I correct
with that? Yes? He is such a great actor, such
a good actor. We were lucky to have him. His
character's name was Henry Thomas, isn't isn't that the real
life name of the kid that was in et Throwback Elliot?

(24:37):
Is he? His Name's not Henry Thomas Thomas Everett's. I
don't know. I'm getting real confused. I don't know, but
you know, he ended up becoming Richard on Grey's Anatomy,
and I think he was well known for that role.
My husband was actually walking through the living room right
when I came out. He was like, wait a minute.
He was like, he was in this before he became
a doctor. And he's so handsome. I know. Confirmed Henry

(24:59):
Tom Must Eat and Eat just did that amazing Netflix Haunted,
It Allows whatever, the new one, the new season. He's
a really good actor. But yeah, I thought they couldn't
do that. I thought you couldn't. You have to look
up names and if someone has that actual name, you
have to change it. Is that not true anymore or
back then? Or I feel like we used to do

(25:20):
that a lot, Like they used to create character names
and then end up having to change it right right
on the set practically because they would get news that,
oh that person actually exists in the world. You have
to make up a different name. I mean, how did
you look it up? In ninety one? Anyways, right now
they had like a whole department, legal department that had
to clear names. They still do, but it must they've

(25:43):
run out of names now, so you're allowed to You're
allowed to repeat them because they missed it that week.
Because this is it was it's a famous actress name. Okay,
any whoo, we need to take a break. Well, we
need to take difficult clean well, we to take a break,
and we have so much to cover still from Brenda

(26:03):
and the pregnancy test and her and Dylan. And we'll
just get back in that next Yeah, okay, we're back.
You know what says I feel like you really want

(26:23):
to talk about the Brenda storyline. I know you, deep
in your heart are Brenda all the way fan that
like drives you insane. D You're just Brenda and Dylan
all the way she is. She is our Brenda. Oh
my god, this is blushing, you know, because I know

(26:44):
because I don't want to offend you. I'm just so
you know what it was too when I saw you playing.
I mean I saw you at the in the beach
scene of this episode talking to Steve and say you like,
you're really Kelly. Um. Kelly's talking to Steve Um and
she says, did you hear Dylan and Brenda broke up?

(27:06):
It was like flashbacks of like, how I don't want
to force you, I don't want to ruin every people
that haven't seen yet, But it was like foreshadowing of
what a couple of those moments because um Kelly goes
with Brenda and Dylan to the kind of colleges and
you're wasn't all that she was so involved in there,

(27:27):
like she was the supportive friend or as it she
would have been. Yeah, like because I was thinking, is
it weird that Kelly's there? Because I know what I know,
But at that moment, it wasn't weird at all because that, yeah,
if you were going through something scary like that, you
would want your best friend there. And but what people
might not realize is that Box complained about Brenda having

(27:53):
sex at the end of season one to the point
where they all, this is a rumor, maybe you guys
can confirm it, to the point where they forced the
writers to have some sort of consequence, and so that's
why she gets scared and it's scary for her, and
then she breaks up with Dylan. Do you guys know
any there's any truth to that? I remember is really controversial,

(28:17):
but I mean, here's here's the deal. Fox is the network.
They approved the storylines. There's no storyline that's made unless
they approve it, unless someone insisted on that story someone
who shall not name what come on, like a cash

(28:40):
like my dad, Like I was like your dad, Like
producers had to like do what networks wanted. But my
dad was a big deal and he oftentimes if he
believed in something wholeheartedly, like Luke Perry, and they said, no,
you have to test other people, he said, nope, not,
this is the guy. Um Sometimes m he would just

(29:00):
say this is what we're doing and they'd go, okay.
Those were the days. But I thought it was good
the way it's sort of backtracked and brought us back
to Brenda struggling with her her feelings about taking their
relationship to to the sexual level, because sometimes things happen

(29:23):
so fast when you're young and you jump in and
you used to do what you think you're supposed to
be doing or you give in to your wants and
and then after the fact you're like, wait, what did
I do? Impulse? Now we think a little bit more
about consequences, but when you're young, you're just yeah. And

(29:44):
then she had like the most majorist consequence scare possible
for a young girl using pregnancy tests, like why was
it color oriented? Well, first of all, she goes to
Dr strathmore was that it that gynecologist? Kelly said it
is the best, He's the best. Um, I would never creepy. Yeah,

(30:07):
it was a little creepy, and I would I have
a thing I won't see male gynecologists like neither. I
like a lady looking at my lady. Yep, I agree
with you. I always felt that way. And uh my
gynecologist who my O B G y N delivered all
five of my babies. He was a friend of one
of my closest friends, so I went to him. He's

(30:30):
the same age as us and the biggest nine O
two one Oh fan Dr Rothbart weirder Yeah, wait, this
is getting weirder and weirder. Okay, your friend. First of all,
First of all, I've been out to drinks with him.
He doesn't drink, but I went out to drinks and
he was just like the biggest fans. So when I
started going to him, first of all, I had never

(30:51):
been to a male gynecologist, so I was freaking out.
He's the same age, nice looking guy. My legs are
in stirrups and he starts asking me on the questions.
Oh yeah, he did, and he knows everything. He would
say like, um so do you remember, Like he would
ask me questions and quiz me, and I'd be in
the stirrups, just like trying to hold your stomach and

(31:13):
your lady parts. So they like seemed small because you
don't know what to do with a man's looking down there.
Oh my god. He'd be like, do you know when
your birthday is? And I was like, my birthday? You
mean Donna's birthday. He's like, yeah, Christmas. Donna never got
a proper gift because her birthday was on Christmas. I
was like, Okay, that's awesome. What's going on down there?
But he's become one of my great friends and my

(31:34):
baby is healthy. They're very very close. Yeah. Wow. Anyway
back to Dr Strathmore, Dr Strathmore, and then conveniently, Brenda
starts her period right there in the doctor's office. Okay,
I had a problem with that one. Why because she

(31:55):
realizes it, but like doesn't get a tampon, she doesn't
get like well because seem she just go she was
like literally supposed to pee in the cup and then
and then when you're the lady doctor, they kind of
probably have a selection of you know, necessary items in
the bathroom, but they didn't really explain it. I'm with
Torre on this one. I happened like literally right there,

(32:15):
and I thought she was lying to like like she
didn't want to see him, but then it later in
the episode, you realize, but yeah, it wasn't explained. Yeah,
I just got confused. I feel like, what was she
I don't remember now what was she wearing in that scene?
I don't know, I don't remember. I feel like it
was a light color and not colored outfit. Yeah, sometimes

(32:36):
like oh, like is she bleeding? Is she? Like what happened?
I don't have the visual? Thank you? Sorry? Sorry, okay visual.
She just described her legs being in stirrups talking about
I don't two no facts with her guy no while
his heads down there. Did you guys ever have like
a pregnancy scare when you were younger. I think, I

(33:00):
think so, like I have been late and then taking
pregnancy tests, but or I've taken Plan B yet at
very young age, did you? Yeah? Mhm, And I probably
learned all that stuff from your show What to Do.
We never had Plan B. I don't think. I don't
think that was ever Okay, it was a little too early.

(33:22):
Did you ever have a pregnancy scare? Me? Well, I
was thinking about it and like young I remember, I
don't even know if this is right, but and I
hope my mom is not listening to this, but um
or my kids. Um. But I remember going to get

(33:43):
put on the pill for my irregular periods or for
my skin, you know the excuses. Um. And I had
told my mom that I wasn't sexually active, and then
we went I remember, this is very traumatic. We went
to the thought it was like planned parenthood or something,

(34:06):
and we're sitting there and the person comes back in
and they're like, unfortunately, we can't put you on birth
control pills because you're pregnant. What what? And I was
like oh, and my mom just looked at me like what.
And then so then I had to come clean with

(34:29):
my mom. Similar to what Brenda has to do and say, Okay,
I lied, I have had sex with my boyfriend and
uh and then this is the worst part, after this
whole admission, the tears, everything dealing with all that in

(34:50):
the office of this place, they came back in and said,
you know what, We're so sorry. That wasn't your urine
that we tested. It was a mistake, You're not actually
Oh my gosh, that is crazy. Yeah, to all of
that for nothing. I had to be honest with my mom.

(35:13):
Oh my god, this this this is a good storyline.
So when I was when I was watching the whole
thing with Brenda talking to her parents and then being
so shocked that she had had sex and them talking
about it, I just all the stuff can flooding back
from me. A little trauma, little trauma at the age

(35:34):
of sixteen something around there. That's a nine O two
one OMG moment. Totally never told me that that is crazy.
I actually never had a pregnancy scare to the point.
You know, when you're really young and you know things happen,
you make mistakes, and then you're like, oh and um yeah.

(35:57):
I always thought like, oh, maybe that means I can't
have babies and then went on to be like the
fertile myrtle. Ever, so just that takes me back to
like timing is everything, and they choose us and they
come when they're ready. Yeah. Yeah, So that whole conversation
with Brenda and telling her parents, well, Cindy finds the
pregnancy test and then she has to come clean about

(36:23):
sex with her dad. It was so uncomfortable. We would
you say, I said, I was so uncomfortable. No, she
said sex with her dad. But she had about the
sex and then a conversation with her dad. You just
made my hard drop twice in five minutes with things
you were saying today she had to talk to her

(36:43):
dad about the sex. It came out like you just said,
she had come clean that she had sex with her dad. So, okay,
that was a different, very very special episode. We haven't
gotten to it yet. I never had to have a
sex conversation with my parents ever either one mom. But
but not like the yeah, I mean, not like sitting

(37:04):
in the living room of the house. Even in those moments,
Brenda is snarky with her parents. Brenda is like Cassa
Frass when when she's coming clean about sex. Total teen.
I loved how squirmy Dylan was when he walks into
the house after that and she's holding them Brandon, why
are you holding that? Yeah? And and the and the

(37:29):
way Jim passes through the foyer he can't even look
at a Dylan in the eye. I am I am
quite familiar with this look, this non look, this non
eye contact moment, because once you know your kids grow up,
you guys will see they they you know, do things,

(37:50):
and then and then you just you can't help but
look at them a little bit differently for a minute.
I'm not ready already, I know it's awful. Then it
just takes a little bit. You get used to it
and you start to like, you know, adaptive situation. And
that's the look you've had with their boyfriends, oh yes,

(38:12):
or the yeah or just I am yeah. I remember
feeling all, yeah, so cute and sweet and nice, and
then having a realization and then being like, get him
away from me. I don't want to see him, kind
him out of here. But yeah, it just it happens

(38:33):
and you deal with it life and then you you know,
I mean, you want your kids to be happy, you
want them to be safe, you want them to be loved,
So you make all those adjustments because you're the mom,
you're the parent, and you have to be more grown
up about it. Right. Hopefully I am decades away from

(38:55):
not I know you are you are, don't worry, give
me a call when you need help. But I did.
I did appreciate the way he couldn't even make eye
contact with him. Yeah, I love the other so I
just got to go back for a second. The other day,
during our meet and greets for our live rap party, uh,

(39:16):
we talked to someone that said that they used to
have the hots for Jim Walsh. M M, remember which
who was it? Was it Maddie or was it that
other guy that was like the best part was that
it was a guy. Yeah, it was a guy. And
he was saying, like, you know, it was hard for
him to come out, and you know he wanted to

(39:38):
walk through his hallways and be like, I have a
thing for Dylan, but he couldn't, so, you know, nine
you just had to keep it inside. And he said,
but he goes Jim Walsh. You guys talk, That's what
he said. You guys talk a lot about Jim Walsh's
hairy chest and his hair but oh yeah, we were
hot for Jim, and I was like, oh my god,
that was like the start of the whole Bear move.

(40:00):
Then apparently he was the o G bear who knew
that Jim Walsh had such a huge gay following. I
love it. We gotta tell James E cows probably we
talked about his Harry chest and everywhere all the time.
But then it's there, let's let's get him on the show,

(40:22):
when apparently everywhere where that's hot dad, hot, daddy hot
daddy Bear. So James learns that he um. Cindy says,
I thought it was a really poignant moment. When Cindy
says to Jim when they're in the kitchen talking about
it after Dylan and Brenda leave, he says, she says

(40:43):
to him, I guess what we're going to have to
do is trust our daughter. And they're pretty calm about it. Yeah,
it's such a big deal, especially when you know their
trust was kind of shaken by this news and then
to kind of automatically shift into well, that's really the

(41:04):
only option we have is to trust her if we
love her and we've done a good job and she
knows what she's you know, she's educated. At least she's
talking to us. Then the only thing left to do
is trust her. I like that. I like that too.
I just remembered the only conversation my mother ever had

(41:26):
with me about sex was and I wasn't even having sex.
I was at a boy's house and he invited me
over to watch a movie and we did like well,
like you know, make out. I was sixteen, And when
I came home, she was like, so, how did it go?
And I was good, and she was like, just remember
that this is always going to apply to boys. Why

(41:48):
by the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Sage words of wisdom? What do you mean you don't
understand that? I understand it, but I was, I don't know.
I was hoping for a little more fashion it is,
And I was just like, okay, yeah, I think that

(42:10):
that Like that generation generational kind of thinking is like
you want to end up getting married whoever you have
sex with, right, But I mean that was, yeah, that's
all I heard growing up, like until you're married, until
you're married, right, But there's a better way to put it, Like,

(42:30):
I don't know, I just feel like nowadays, you wouldn't
like give some like old like line like that, I'm
gonna use it. Girls gather around. I got a message
yeah from Grandma Tory, Grandma spelling. Oh my gosh, you imagine. No,

(42:50):
I'd be like, girls tell Anti Tory tell me everything.
They would die. M were you were you like surprised
that Brenda broke up with Dylan. Yeah, I was me too.
It seems so abrupt. Her reaction to him saying get

(43:11):
on the pill was already kind of like okay, yeah,
I gotta admit I don't know about that for him,
Like she was like, that's such a guy thing, and you,
like you, I did the same thing since and Kelly said,
you know, they were kind of like yeah, that's not cool, right,
But for a young guy, like a six year old guy,
like I thought he was trying to do the best thing,

(43:33):
you know, he was being responsible. I didn't take it
like him being like, okay, you do it like it's
a thing. Like since they did use a condom and
they thought something happened, what would be the next step
the pill? You know? So I don't know mm hmmm, yeah,
But I mean it just goes to like guys don't
really consider the sacrifice or the effect that taking a

(43:57):
birth control pill has on women, young girls. Women. They
have no idea what they're talking about. But didn't you
think he was trying? Though? I feel like he was.
It was just like, yeah, he didn't know, and so
maybe he thought, oh, that's the responsible thing to do.
But Brenda was like, you have no idea what you're

(44:20):
how that sounds because it is when you look at
it from her perspective or from a female perspective, it
is kind of insensitive and like, oh, here's a band
aid to your problem, and just take this pill to
with your hormones and change you as a person. Is
that bad that I didn't take it that way? I
was like, why is Brenda mad? Like he's trying to
be responsible? Take it that way? Yeah, I do too,

(44:44):
now that you're not saying it, But I mean, everything
has two sides, but he was. It was two against
one in that moment. It was he was outnumbered by
the ladies. It was just such a roller coaster. I
think their storyline and everything was happening. I was like
into it. I'm like, I'm ready ft of nowhere. In
the very first episode of season two, they break up.
I was like, what's happening? And in the end moment

(45:05):
when she's like goodbye Dylan and the music swells, what
was that r M song? And walking down the hallway
and losing my religion and you can see him in
the distance like out of focus, and then it raped
focuses to him and he's sad. Now that would have
been a season ender. That was it good? That was

(45:25):
a perfect color finger. It was I wanted to see
the next episode so bad and I have to wait.
You have to wait. That's tough. That's the tough part.
In the back in the day, you had to wait
a whole week before you could see the next episode.
It was the worst. And it kind of like you
had to record it on your VHS and or someone

(45:46):
at the house how to record it for you, like
your mom, oh my gosh, And if you weren't going
to be there, you would be freaking out. It would
be like, Mom, don't forget what time to take my
favorite show? Like it was. I had to do it
from sister because she worked. She was eight years older
than me, so she was like, if you forget to
record in Melrow's place, You're like, my sister still has

(46:11):
all of the m VHS tapes that she recorded. Seriously, Yeah,
like in a box of everything I've ever done, probably
like every movie of the week, every interview. Oh my gosh,
I want to get something and be able to play it.
Can we still buy a PHS recorder? And I still
own one? Remember the TVs I had one of my

(46:34):
dressing room but you put the thing, had to plot
it right in the bottom. Those are the best TVs.
I love that, but might always had stuck in there
and I'd be like prying in there with a screwdriver
trying to get it out to Speaking of technology, though,
I think when we c Kelly and her BMW driving,
first of all, she's holding she's talking on the cellphone

(46:54):
to Brenda. I thought that was a fun scene, really
good to see. But I was like, why would they
let me, the sixteen seven, sixteen year old girl drive
a car and talk on the phone at the same
time and have to remember my lines? Like it was
just like a lot. I think they put a lot
of responsibility on me in that moment, in that scene

(47:16):
because it was a long time ago and they think
about those things, just like the hand signal you're doing
now for talking on the phone. Hello, Brenda, this is
a this is a universal sign call me. I know
the thumb and the pinkie, but that kind of looks
like the phone. It was like a flip phone. Yeah, yeah,
Kelly had like the first flipe. Now it's considered dangerous

(47:38):
and illegal. You never do it, you a ticket. Um.
Can we talk about the Beach Club though, Yeah, it
was first of all, you guys, I know, everyone was like,
oh my god, that is so fun and so glamorous,
and I feel like seeing the beach in California was
really liked. Rove at home for people like I just

(48:02):
want to be there and be in that moment. Often,
when we filmed at the Beach Club, it was not
warm and sunny. Yeah. At times it would be windy
and freezing and we would start Yeah, we would start
filming it like early seven, eight am, and you get
there at five or six and we'd be in bikinis, colds,

(48:22):
we would have on down coats and then they'd be like, okay,
picture up and they would take our coats. Yeah, and
you pray that they can't see your goose bumps, and
you're like, all have a chicken skin goosebumps everywhere everywhere? Where?
Was it? What beach that was? Right in Santa Monica,
Like right when Santa Monica and Malibus kind of meet

(48:43):
each other, like near sunset, So where it would be
if there was a Beverly Hills Beach Club. It's an
actual club. It's an actual beach club there, it's an
actual beach club. It's something else now, right, is it
the bell Air one? Now? Yes, that's every time I
pass it, I'm like, we had such good times there.
I remember shooting there. It's still there. So there's two

(49:07):
beach clubs right in that area. Um, I think they
also filmed at the other one or writing that on
that beach baywatch mm hmmm um. But yeah, I feel
like they've rebranded it because when I looked at it
a little bit ago before the pandemic, I looked at
it on Instagram. I was like, oh, look at it,
and they were really like rebranded it, leaning into kind

(49:30):
of the old school, like our Beverly Hills Beach Club vibe,
and it looked really cool. We should go back there,
we should we should be members. Oh I don't think
you have to be a member. Now. I feel like
it's not the bell Air the beller One's like on
a cliff, it's like higher up. So this was like
to the beach. This is the one right next to it. Okay,

(49:53):
I need to find out the name. We'll find somebody
fact checks Breas while we were doing that. Actually, let's
take a break and let's come back and we can
either talk about that if you want, or get to
some of these questions and fashion moments. Okay, we're back. You.

(50:16):
You feel like the beach club that we shot at
is called what stand in something like I'm trying to
look it up. It's on Instagram. Oh my gosh. She
thinks it's the Sand and Sea beach club Sand the
old Stand and Sea. But we don't know. We're going
to find out. We have we have a long season
of beach club scenes to figure it out. So we

(50:37):
will do that. Should we talk about, um some fashion
from this episode? You guys all right, who had a
favor iron shorts his little shorty mc shorterson swim trunks.
He's he's cuteing that out is with like blue little

(51:01):
um dolphin shorts almost remember dolphin short and the backwards
like hat one of those hats you can get wet,
won't ruin it. Oh my gosh, lots of pops of
color this episode. I really appreciated to tow outfits. They

(51:21):
were in the same scene. Actually, one was your um
little green shorts in your T shirt with the flowers
all over it most really cute and perfect for Donna Um.
If you look at that picture, because we're looking at
it right now in our lineup, I look like I'm
wearing exactly what Andrea was wearing. Oh my gosh, yeah,
I'm not kidding you guys, Like it's it's it's a romper,

(51:44):
like a little jumpsuit the one you're wearing in real
life right now, though doesn't go down as low. Hers
is like one of those mime rompers, you know, like
what you'd see the mimes that you know, the Universal
Studios or something wearing you would say that, but it
She looks so cute when she was wearing it. She
was doing that little monologue scene in the acting class,
and I just expected her to like kick up breels

(52:06):
and do a little dance. So cute. There's a scene
where the three of you, you, YouTube and Brenda are
in it, and the shoulder pads like you're all wearing
like it was like all matching shoulder pad outfits. I
am not gonna lie. I love a shoulder pad. I
love shoulder pad now more than ever. I appreciate that scene.

(52:30):
So you're in red, Brenda's in like a light blue.
I'm in yellow. We look like we want to be parents.
We look like Beverly Hills ladies that lunch, but we're
in six year olds in school on the last day
of school. Those are kind of mature outfits for sure. Yeah,
but I appreciate them. Like, think about, like all this

(52:52):
stuff happened before, Like I'm trying to think of a
young like there was a lot of teen shows that followed,
like The O C And Dawson's Creek and all that,
but Gossip Girl was like the fashion one that came later.
And I feel like, look at us, like we did
that first. Just happen. I think you did too. Yeah,
mm hmmm. Are there any nine O two one, oh no,

(53:15):
you didn't? Moments one liners that stood out? I think
like soup significant um for me, other than you know,
the one she says about being the one she says
about um. Well. I noticed when Kelly says uh sounds
like it's that time of the month to Brenda. It

(53:37):
really bugged me. I understand it was like a story
point and it had, but now you just wouldn't say
that those kinds. I don't know, you just don't say that.
It's very It's kind of like putting in a woman's
natural happenings in the negative connotation. A lot more female
support these days, like that exactly. She says, well, it is,

(53:59):
and it is and if you know what I mean.
I didn't really have a favorite line. I liked when
Nat said, yets, that was about it. Yeah, that stood out.
There was one in the very beginning. Um, it's David
and he says, an entire summer of beaches and babes.

(54:19):
I like, that's what it is. It's going to be
an entire season of beaches and babes and acting class.
It really will be. Yeah, waiting as a cabana boy,
very dirty dancing esque. Did you notice the one going

(54:40):
for a second back to the episode, the acting teacher,
m hm, the young acting teacher. He looked exactly like
Elvis Presley. To me, did you guys think that? My
husband said that instantly, yes, okay, so you guys. He
played Elvis Presley in a TV movie. I should be
a casting a just this after this show. Yeah, he

(55:03):
went on to play Elvis Presley. Good for him. WHOA,
I don't know what you hear? That was he was
very attractive. No, all right. I asked some questions from listeners,
Are you guys ready? Yes? As from Carly, I've always
wondered if it was Aaron Spelling's idea to keep Donna
a virgin for so long because he didn't want his

(55:25):
daughter doing any steamy scenes, or did the writers come
up with that storyline because Aaron was the boss and
Tori was his daughter and they were afraid he'd be
upset if they gave her too many romantic scenes. So
from my perspective, from my memory, I feel like it

(55:46):
was probably a little bit of both, but definitely, um,
it was his idea to keep me a virgin. Maybe
they came up with the idea of her as a
virgin and then he was like, great, she's staying a
virgin the whole show. But I remember, so here's the thing.
Once I got on the show. Um, like before the show,
I helped my dad, Like I was giving him ideas,

(56:09):
like casting ideas and showing me pullary pictures and help
and I'd be like, oh, this is the wardrobe. That's great,
this one, that one, this hairstyle. And then once I
was in it, we really didn't talk about the show anymore,
um because I I feel like I didn't want to
be that girl, like I wasn't going to be like
the insider, like here's what's happening between everyone, So we

(56:30):
didn't talk business from the time I started the show,
So we never talked about anything Donna again EXCEF. I
do remember one time coming to him and because I
think I said to the writers at some point, like,
you know, I think it's time, like you know, Donna
shouldn't lose her virginity and they said that would kill us.
Your dad would kill us. Your dad would kill us. Wow,

(56:51):
like joking, but like yeah, So then I remember that
we're afraid. Yeah, and I, you know, it was out
of the house at this time, my own apartment and
in my twenties, so I remember going for Sunday night
dinner and I was like nervous, but I was like, Dad,
it's time, like Donna needs to lose her virginity and
he's like, okay, babe, And then it happened. That's so funny.

(57:14):
And then the time I do it, I have Jason
priestly directing the scene. Super embarrassing. But we'll get to
that later. Yeah we will. Wow. Okay. Alicia is asking
if you could play any of the parents on two.
I know, who would you choose and why? It's a
great question. I feel like I would choose Cindy Walsh

(57:35):
just because I don't know, I really appreciate the way
she's such a good homemaker. It looks fun to just
garden and cook and clean, I don't know, sort through
the trash on your hands and knees. Mhm. It's hard
because at this point in the program we've only really
seen Cindy and a little bit of Kelly Taylor's mom.

(57:59):
I think I have to choose Cindy too, just because
she always looks so cute and like, no one wore
mom jeans better, and um yeah, I like her In
the beginning though the first season, like she starts to
get more mom esque. In the beginning, she's kind of easy,
breezy and kind of like cool, like I thought she

(58:20):
was a little scheker, like just like boho mom, And
now she's like more like I'm a Beverly Hills homemaker
and like more conservative and style. I think I'm basing
it all on style, but you know what I mean.
She's actually a cool mom though, and it's such a
I don't know, I love that. For me, it would

(58:40):
be such a luxury to be able to be home
all the time with my kids and be that kind
of hands on mom all the time. Not like I'm
not hands on, but like, I don't know, it's just
something about when she works from the home, like that's
her job as a homemaker. We both feel you we know.
I'll flip this a little bit. Who would you want

(59:02):
to be a parent? Two? Out of all the cast members,
who do you think would be the easiest child? Donna? Donna? Donna?
For my daughter? I mean, yeah, she screwed up once
I got drunk at prom. Other than that, she was
like aces as a kid. Kid, Yeah, who would you play? Wait?

(59:24):
Who would you play? Who would I play? Like? What
mom um? I think I'd want to be Kelly's mom.
She had some good fashion moments. Fashion moments to be
careful what you wish for and just have a wild child.
You get three no, two girls going to be coming up.

(59:45):
I'm gonna call you up in like fifteen years. No,
But I always thought she was, like I know that
like all we've seen of her was like very dramatic episodes.
But I always thought that she seemed like a fun mom,
you know, like party um, which is not really like
the greatest role model, but as a kid, she was definitely. Yeah,

(01:00:07):
you wanted a mom that you didn't even have any rules.
My parents were so strict growing up, so to me,
I wanted someone that was just like let me, would
let me do whatever I wanted. And it sounded like
Kelly's mom was that. I feel like I'm a I'm
a pretty good mix between Cindy Walsh and Jackie Taylor
like in my mom in real lifestyle. Yeah, Jackie wasn't fun.

(01:00:27):
She was more just kind of hands off, right, you know,
she was fun. She was very like like I loved
a girl's night and she was like, let's go shopping,
and yeah, she was in that respect. Right then, I'm
a total Jackie. You're definitely actually hands on my motion

(01:00:51):
addiction drugs, but fun mom. If we're talking a good
cop bad cop, like I'm the fun one, You're definitely
the fun mom. Well, that's it for this episode, you guys.
Next week is season two, episode two, The Party Fish,
and I'm really looking forward to it. The Party Fish.
I don't remember that one. This is gonna be fun

(01:01:12):
to watch because I have no memory of that one.
Is it like a Swedish fish or what's happening? I'll
work in some facts right now, guys. The Beverly Hills
Beach Club is another sad story, as this filming location
no longer exists. It was badly damaged during the Northridge
earthquake and was never repaired. No, you guys, I've seen it.

(01:01:35):
I've driven by it. There's something there now and it's
it's now Annaber Community Beach House. It's a place. It's
a place you can still go there. No, okay, Oh
my god, you guys. So okay, So I reached out
to a different beach club. It looks like ours, though,
so they totally copied ours. Is there another beach club
near there? To be continued cliffhanger? All right, ladies, I'm good.

(01:02:00):
She's dying for me to say bye.
