special guest.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
That's me Christine. Hi, Christine, where's that?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Happy?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
So happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Because not only were you on an incredible show for
a very very long time, but you also were on
our show.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I was. I was on Seventh Heaven. It was one
of my first jobs after Step by Step ended.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Really really yes, I don't think I knew that.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I think I may have done like a a small
independent film, but this I think was my first guest
star after Yeah, And I remember the audition very well.
Do you act? Yes? Because I thought I blew it
at that time. I don't know. You would go you
would audition and sometimes you'd get a callback, and sometimes
you would just go straight to producers, like so that
was a thing. I think this may have been a
(02:20):
I don't remember. It may have been a straight to
producer's callback. And I remember going into that spelling building,
you know that was on Willshire, and there was a
big conference table. I don't I don't know who was
in there. They were putting me on tape or something,
and afterwards, I was like, well, I don't think that
went very well.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
I do have a vibe funny, because I think we've
all had those auditions where you walk out of there
and you're like, oh, well, yeah, out of sight, out
of mind, moving on, and then you get it on
your book. Yeah, it's weird how that happens more often
than you think it would.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And then like a couple hours later, my agent's like, oh,
you booked it. I was so excited, first of all
because it was such a big show, and second all,
like it was a drama. It was an hour long
on the c W.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Like it was just like it was like we were
c W by c W.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Okay okay, So it was like a lot of like
stuff and I got to play this like pregnant teen
at Risk Like it was all the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it was the long and storied list of pregnant teens.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
And you worked primarily with Catherine right. Yes, she's great.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
She's so easy and lovely to work with. Alison Lohman
was the other pregnant teen at risk.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yes, because there were two of you.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yes, so we had to wear pregnant bellies and it
was just like the whole thing was it was really fun.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
I think they just had like pregnant bellies like on like, yeah,
we had every We.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Had every version of a pregnant belly, right, all the
different phases.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, except I did. I actually had like one where
you wore them all. I wore many many pregnant bellies.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yeah, but I feel like it was Awesomething else was
like there was a big thing happening that week. You
were also celebrating like one hundred episodes or something. There
was like a big through the show.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
It was like, so, was there a big party.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes, they go, let you go. It was like for
lunch or something. It was like probably. And then you
and I were chatting on the way back from the lunch,
and I was like, oh my gosh, I just like
like meeting all the people because I wasn't in any
scenes with you. I know, you're so nice to me.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Oh well good, I'm so bad, I mean. And and
and then who knew that like our past would continue
to like be together.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And also fun fact, also.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You two Christine and David shared a studio teacher.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yes, correct, we did. Did you have Susie for the
entire time.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Not at the very beginning when we first started the show,
I think the first season or two studio teachers were
kind of in flux, and uh, but once we had
settled into our teacher, Susie was with me for the
ninety percent of the ride.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah. So yeah. Once I started working with Susie, I
was like.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I mean, talk about a run of having steady employment.
Well yeah, she said, some steady employment. Yeah, many years, Susie.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I mean, Susie's been around. I think we're we're gonna
we're gonna have Susie out.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So, but but get ready and Purple and turtles.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Susie is a lovely, eccentric, unique person that everyone will
will adore.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I am sure of it as much as we do.
But you had Susie on step by Step the whole time.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
The whole time, and then always my teacher.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
And then so after probably what what year did step
by Step end?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Yes? Nineteen ninety eight, ninety eight? Okakay, we started in
ninety six, seven.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Started ninety six, so it was probably she probably came
off of Step by Step straight over to us.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
That's probably why you didn't have her for those versions.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I mean, but there you go.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah, well yes, because she was still tutoring. Actually, let
me think about it, Yes, there was a little Yeah,
there was we had. There was a little girl that
came on the show. She was the daughter of Susanne
and Patrick, so there was a new child that entered
the scene. But by the last year of the show,
I was in college, so she wasn't doing me in
college unfortunately. Yeah, but we had many a time, Susie
(06:23):
and I. We went to Italy.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Together last year, by the way, she so, yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Was a senior in high school and that was like
my My parents gave me a graduation gift, which was
a plane ticket to Italy. But they don't want me
to go by myself, which hello, probably a good idea. Yeah,
so they they also bought a plane ticket for Susie
and so much fun. We had the best time.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Oh my gosh, that's so fun. Well, yeah, we'll have
to ask.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Her, Stuffy Susie a good time she is. She is
a great person to go on a trip with. Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
We went to Rome, Florence and Venice.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Oh the best. Yeah, the best places.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Food, the food, the food, the walking, you know, all
the different we went to, all the sights, we saw,
all the things, we ate all the gelados, mave had
some wine, that's when I was eighteen, Okay, allowed. We
went to a discotech one night.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yeah, yes, yes, of course that's that is that sounds perfect,
so cute.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And I got the pleasure of working with Christine also
on Hollywood Darlings, where we had some fun. That was
the I mean, that was a fun show. We had
no idea what we were getting into, which was basically
playing exaggerated versions of ourselves and just making fun of
ourselves on the daily.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yeah, and not and not memorizing any lines.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Just no, we're just yeah, we're going off the cup,
which was really awkward and very uncomfortable for me because
I was like, wait, I need to know what to say,
and like Christine and Jodi were like, we got this.
You guys were so like great and it was I
have to say, I was very intimidated, did you I did.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
A lot of improv like growing up. I was always
like in acting classes and doing like and I also
think it's very different doing a sitcom what you grew
up doing. Yeah, there's not a sense of improv in
it because you're not you have lines you're saying, but
you are reacting in real time to Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
The timing is completely different. The styles are different, totally.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, and the comedy is different because like, your jokes
run different on a sitcom than they do. Our jokes
are a little bit like understated and it's more like
reactionary than it is the actual words that are being said.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah, a lot of lots of falls down.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We discussed the other day, so.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
This is kind of off topic.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A lot of like pregnant pregnant characters on the show,
like not pregnant actors playing pregnant characters. Do we ever
have any pregnant actors playing not pregnant characters? Because I
don't know if anybody that I could think of was
ever actually pregnant during the eleven years that we were shooting.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well, they probably didn't tell us because if they weren't
supposed to be pregnant on the show, then they probably
wouldn't get hired.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
That's true because.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
There's a lot of imagine, if you're really pregnant, you're
if you're auditioning, which I imagine would be a nightmare, you
would only audition for really pregnant characters.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Pregnant, I was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Really pregnant when I shot a short film. I didn't
know I was really pregnant, but it was.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Well, how really pregnant would you be there? I wasn't
really pregnant.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Let me change it to actually pregnant.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Okay, all right, you said really pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I understand what ignant talking about.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I've definitely had to suck it in.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Oh well, that's just lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I mean, like I had auditioned for something. It went
further call back and went further than They're like, Okay,
we're gonna go to network, but it's not for like
another another week and a week and a half or something,
and I was like, oh yeah, I'm not going to
be able to By the time the network came around,
I had popped and I was like.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
This is not good.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I was wearing it was for some I don't I
think it was a Comedy Central pilot. I didn't get it.
But weirdly enough, there's another actress who I always you know,
when you go up against someone, But it's weirdly enough.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Everyone has a crowd of like two or three actors
that are always in the mix with you, so strange.
I can never tell if it's sometimes it's a look thing, sometimes.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's style thing. Yet, because it was Virginia Williams and
she's tall and like, it looks nothing like me.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't think you guys are always mixed together I did.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Did you ever introduce yourself to the people that were like, oh,
we always sitting folding chair across from.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
You, And I mean sometimes I do, and sometimes it
felt like people don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're like I always felt like in the in the
audition rooms, like I always felt like like that was
like my high school.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I was like, oh, like, hey, like it was always
fun to see some people.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But then there were some people again that were a
little bit less approachable that you could tell like, yeah,
they took themselves very and it's I think you always
respected the space, so you're like, oh, they're very serious.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
You learn after years of the audition circuit and doing
this stuff, you learn that, like, because you typically will
only see these people like in the waiting room and
you guys are sitting there for thirty or forty minutes together,
but you're in your head and you're trying to have
your stuff together for the room, and so you're it's
not the friendliest environment.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's hard to be really like jovial.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And nice and off the cuff when you like have
six pages in your head you're trying to keep straight.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
So and you're hoving that, they like trip and fall
on their face.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I was always yeah, I've always try my best to
be friendly as I could be and have respect for.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That for that zone, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
But but I've always over time, I've learned that, like
all these people are just like you, you know, like we're.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All kind of the same. We're all in it, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's like when you go to a party.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There were people who played the game, though there were
some because I do you remember there was some actresses
where I was like, oh, no, they're gonna mess with me,
and you're yes, I know, I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
There was always somebody who do her audition and then
she would hang out after and I'm like you've done.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, kids out of the room and they're like.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Gosh.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I definitely remember when people were like like came out
and were like, oh, you can go home now, and
I was like, oh that's aggressive.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Wow. I'm glad I wasn't in that category.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah, I mean I was crying the way home anyways.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
But I do think like, unfortunately, I feel like the
zoom culture pandemic whatever zoom culture now within self tape
culture has changed everything, and I do really miss that
some of that camaraderie and when you would go in
and like you would sit in a room and you
would see a few people you knew and you kind
of vibe off people's energy a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I loved the room.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I also just loved being able to work with the
casting director and have direction and.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Being able to make that change.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Because this the zoom culture, Like I feel like it's
also like it's the mirror culture. It's where you've memorized it,
You've looked in the mirror, you've done it a million times,
and like it's like part of acting is how you
react and how you can change and transition. And now
with zoom, like you're just getting this kind.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Of plus you can you can't get captured.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Honestly, I've booked I've booked things based on my flexibility exactly.
So sometimes you go in you're like and I'll tell
them like, hey, I thought maybe i'd do it like this,
and they're like, sure, let's see it. And then they're like, actually,
we think this this And then I'll flip it and
do something different and that's what's impressive exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So, but you can't get flexibility on a tape. But anyway,
we will be right back. We'll continue this a minute.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So we are back with Christine and we were talking
about auditions and how are they suck?
Speaker 6 (14:37):
And that's exactly what we're talking.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
The other thing is like them. I mean, I feel
like having directed people too. I always want to get
an idea of what you're like outside of what you
can do, you know, because isn't that part of it too?
You want to be You want to know like is
this person open to being directed? Can they change? What
(15:02):
is their personality like? Because sometimes I feel like actors
actually is that's the difference in the room, right, everybody
can nail the lines. Everybody's kind of doing it. Everybody
sort of looks like a different version of themselves. But
who is the person who's like bringing the funny and
just like bringing up funny ideas or maybe could improv
or whatever it is. And I feel like that's the
thing we're missing out on.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And when you're on a shoot, though, it is kind
of like you you're all off at camp together, and
when the whole crew and cast as harmonious. That's the
difference between a movie that's fun to work on and
when that you hate every minute of That's true.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, well, and I think I think you also brought
up a good point because Christine has been doing a
lot of directing. Yeah, and how has that experienced kind
of the transition from you know, being in front of
the camera to being so much behind the camera because
you've done a lot of directing.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, I started about, gosh, how hold's my son? Now?
I base everything on all of my kids are or
what color hair I had at the time there was yeah, exactly,
So yeah, about six years now. You know, I wanted
to get behind the camera for a really long time,
but it took. It just took a long time because it,
(16:12):
like anything, is very competitive and everybody wants to do it,
and who's going to give you a shot when you're
trying to tell him you can and all of that.
But what I felt like being on the other side
of it, I think, having been an actor, you know
what it's like to be directed by somebody who has
no idea how to how to connect the dots emotionally,
you know, And I never I wanted to be the
(16:34):
kind of director that could help an actor do that,
and whether it's comedy or drama, Like I think we
all know when you've connected with a director who really
understands what the joke is or can get you there
without actually giving you the line reading, or isn't just
saying can you just be faster?
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Yeah, There's there's like two kinds of directors. There's like
there's a kind of director that just tells you what
to do right and then and then there's the other
kind of director that kind of tries to find the
moment with you and like looks for it and so
like there. You know, I'm sure there are actors that
(17:09):
prefer just the more straightforward approach, but I always liked
the kind of like that's why I enjoyed auditions, particularly
at the at the higher levels when you're doing producer
calls and tapes further down when they're working with you,
because that's that's the stuff that I always liked, you.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Know, It's the journey yeah yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Well and looking for something interesting to do, and then
when you find it, it feels good, and that's where
you get the connection that you want to work with.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Someone yeah, that's like our I feel like, you know,
I mean not to compare this to sports, but I
feel like that's when you won the game, like those
moments where like, you know, you get that high when
you're like, ah, yes, I found it like that and
it I mean, that's what I missed because I did.
I actually loved auditioning as well, because I loved that
(17:59):
exploration of like like in the room, and I loved
changing it up. I loved surprising people like with a
totally different take, and I also loved being challenged and
being like, no, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Like that at all.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Actually we want you to switch.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It up, and that was the fun. And then once
they loved that, you're.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Like, yeah, I feel like I won the game shooting,
but I did not have that feeling. And auditions, but
I think you're also auditions.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You're also a lot younger though.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, auditioning is a whole different beings different This is
the perfect brushstroke that like, I just felt even to
be there.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
And some people are really good auditioners. Yeah, but have
you ever like and I know this probably is true
where there are people that are really good auditioners and
they get the job, but then they get to set
and they can't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah, because it's a totally different thing, you know, what
it's like to work on set. Like there are times
when you'd be in the middle of a take and
like you're flubbing a line and a seasoned actor would
be like, I'm sorry, let me just go back, and
then they would just start again, I know how to
put themselves back in. And then they're the actors who
were like, oh, I don't know what they atas apart, right,
because that's not part of the audition, you know, and
(19:10):
having all the hair and makeup and the lights and
the people and the technical stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like, yeah, the pressures are different and the workloads more
because like on audition, you're you're kind of like this
very small little portion that you're practicing, and then like
when you're on set, like you know, you could have
a very big day with eight pages and you have
right and or you can get thrown and you know,
the schedule can change and you have to be flexible,
(19:34):
and I think.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Like that was.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Always like an adventure for like, but I feel like
our set was also very like welcoming to like bring
people on. So if people like some we had a
lot of first time actors who had never gotten something before,
and then we had a lot of seasoned actors who
came off of like amazing shows.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
So but like I felt like we were always very
supportive of.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Helping someone through a big miss.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I like, That's why I think I much prefer doing
off camera work than anything else because of the best
feeling is like when you're there supporting somebody else and
you feel like you've done something to help pull the
best take out of them.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I do feel like I always, like always my best
work was always off camera.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
So many actors, I think feel that way.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Something about like the lights on it kind of makes
me feel like a deer in the headlights.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Like see all my best work when I'm I'm like
reacting to somebody ye off camera.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Yeah, but we're all set kids though, we all grew
up on sets, and so like that's it's a different
like there. I don't know, I feel like it kind
of imbues that into you that like you're you grow
up with the in that camera environment and working together
as a team, you know what I mean. It's it
because the auditions are very self centered. It's about my
(20:52):
performance and what I'm doing right now. When you're doing
a scene, it's not about you necessarily, you're you have
that coordination with everybody. And there's a big difference between
putting a scene together to for for them in the
room and putting a character together over the course of
a film or a show and having some kind of
consistency across ours, you know, potentially of constant. So you know,
(21:15):
I feel like our advantage was that that's that's where
we cut our teeth was on the set, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, did you ever feel I don't know how it
worked with you guys, because I only did the one
pregnant episode, But did you ever get pages like on
the day? No? No, okay, so change, but sometimes.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Sometimes we would get rewrits would come in.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
But our rewrits were typically light, just like little little
adjustments and things, not big sweeping change.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
But we weren't.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's the one advantage to like our show was like
we were very like structured and everything was Yeah, everything
was very well planned out and new. Yeah, we were
a well oiled machine. You know what I realized too,
is we all I worked with past your duffy when
I was really young, right on the Children of the
(22:05):
Bride movies. Yeah, and he was your dad on did
he play your played my grandpa? And I remember like
telling him that at nineties Con and I think he
was insulted and I didn't I really I remember.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I remember looking.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
At you and your like that have just stop, just
just stop, just stop talking. And I was like you
because I also I also told him that he played
my grandpa when I was like ten, and he was not.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Happy about it. I'm pretty yeah, I know he was.
He was my grandpa. He was just a hot grandpa.
It was fine.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I mean, you know, you were pregnant teen hello, I mean,
so it's fine.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
They were all actors. I mean, just trying to be different.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
We're just trying to work. Yeah, how because you also.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Went to nineties Con, How was that like kind of
reconnecting with your cast because you're kind of you're doing
a similar podcast as well.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah. So Stacy Keenan played my sister on the show.
We have a podcast. It's called Keenan and Lincoln Give
You Deja Vu. Longest title ever. But yeah, so it
was really fun. She and I have been in touch
over the years, and she is no longer in the business.
She is a was for many years a criminal prosecutor.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Well that's a change of.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
La DA's office. Yes, yes, complete change. Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah,
I went to law school. Ye. So it's really interesting
because she never watched the show. She's never seen step
by Step, so now here we are thirty years later,
and she was like, you know what I think would
be fun? I was like what, She's like, Well, I
do a lot of like analysis looking at blood spatter
all day. You know what I think would be fun
(23:42):
would be to watch the show again.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
And I was like, you know, I love the comparison.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Okay, sure, you need an outlet. So she's been watching
the show for the very first time, and it's pretty
funny to see somebody's free actions. Who are who's just
experiencing themselves as a teenager on television. It's like a
real like yeah, yeah mind, I don't know. So anyway,
(24:12):
it's been really fun to go through it with her,
and like we were the episodes and we talk about
and like she and I were close, but we had
just enough of an age gap when we were working
together that I was always kind of three years below.
So you know, when you're thirteen and seventeen, Like, you're
not going to be doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, that's ben yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Right, yeah, because we're four years a part.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah, so now I get to hear like all the
real stories of what she was doing in the nineties
when there was no social media or anything, and.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Like what I'm hearing.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It's fun. I mean, yeah, but we have a lot
of shared experiences and then I remember stuff she doesn't
remember at all anyway. But yeah, so that's been really fun.
And we've had some of our We've reconnected with some
of our cast that I hadn't seen years either, Like
Josh Burne hadn't seen him in like maybe thirty years.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah. And Chris Casteele, Oh my gosh, I grew. I
mean Chris and I had Susie. We were in the
same schoolroom. He played Mark on the show, and we
were in the same school room for like five years.
You know when you're in a school you spent Yeah, yeah,
you really like, you really like get very close to
them in a very unique way. Yeah. So ninety's con
was amazing. I mean, Chris was there, Stacy, myself, Angela
(25:24):
Brandon call which none of us had seen him in yours.
Patrick was there, so it was so fun. The whole
thing was like beat all my expectations. I did not
know it would be as fun as it was, honestly.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And on that note, we need to take a short
little break, but it won't be long. So if you're
not you stay with us.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I know for us too, nineties con was like it
was kind of that family reunion that like really got
that love like kind of flowing again. It's like because
I feel like so often like you have this connection
that nobody will ever understand and nobody knows like what
(26:08):
our shared experience is, nobody else ever can come compared to.
So once we were all together, I know, like our
family just got tighter. And that's obviously why you know
we're here and why it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Was an amazing reunion.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yea, our dinners every night we ate together and we
would go hang out in each other's room, and like
it was just like like reconnecting with a real family.
It was.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
It was so fun.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
And then for you guys, because it's been even longer
for since all of you guys were together, so you know,
and I know you guys had like a special dinner too, did.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
So it was Patrick Duffy's birthday, right, So we got
uh a private room at a steakhouse across the street,
and like we had a They were like when I
asked for I was like, oh, you know, we maybe
you know, planned for this, and they were so sweet.
They were like, shall we get you a cake? And
I was like, God, you do that, that'd be amazing.
So yeah, and Jason Marsen was there as well, and
(27:05):
we just had the loveliest dinner. I mean, Stacey and
I we always think that we can like keep up
with Patrick, like in terms of like his you know,
he's he's a he's a rack. He can just recount
so many great stories. He's an amazing storyteller. He has
a real love of fine wine. And we're always like, oh,
(27:27):
sure we'll have some wine. Oh sure we'll have some port.
What am I doing drinking port? I have no business
drinking And back in the hotel bar and like having
more cocktails. We had to leave at like five am,
Like it was a total mess. She and I were like,
you guys also had like.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Wait wait, I also remember you guys had because I
saw you in the lobby on.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Your adventure to get to Connecticut. Because let's just recap
for everyone. Nighty con Is in Hartford, Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
And Christine as Stacy showed up. Didn't you guys lost luggage?
You guys like miss planes.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I mean, David and I had an adventure on our own,
but I feel like your adventure was worse.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
We had to stay the night in Dallas.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Oh, yes, and we were in I don't know we're
in DC.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You should have taken the train.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Yes, we stay the night in Dallas. We got a hotel.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I think we slept for four hours. Stacey and I
had a slummer party, yes, yeah, and then we had
to like get rebooked back on the flight. They lost
her luggage. You know, it was It was a real thing.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
But what I loved is I saw you with a
big smile on your face and you're like, we're doing it.
We're here, happen, We're doing it.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Yeah. That's why I always pat carry on. I don't
trust anyone with my luggage.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, that's how I roll.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, you roll in a duffle bag.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Not it doesn't roll, it's a duffel bag.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
No, I got today. That's it. I rolled a duffel
bag and I'm good for days.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Well, when you're as gorgeous as you are, naturally you
don't need anything.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Well, and then you know that I'm gonna be anywhere near.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
You know that I perpetually overpack. So anything you need
I will have. That's true, including nut buckets, That's right,
tiny little bags of nuts. Yes, because you know you
need If you need a snack, I will have them.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Because on Hollywood Darlings, I definitely was the snack keeper.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You had the snacks, if you needed advil, if you
needed uh, I don't contact solution like you go to bed.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
It's almost like I had, like I feel I had
like a business sout fire bag, like whatever you need. Oh,
we did do that episode where I brought my vitam X.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Too, and yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah to the to the Westling Phillis Chins. Yeah, that
was so much fun. I just it was on on
good Old Pop.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
What did I don't what was that episode?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I don't remember what you were making smoothies.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
That's also because that was because I had snacked on
your pot brownies and that episode, Yeah, that was wow.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Jared.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
The storyline, it's storyline, yes, in storyline, because the whole
joke was that it's actually.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Not really a joke. It's probably real.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'm so square that I don't do anything like fun
and we needed her to relax.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Yeah, and she didn't realize that they were pop brownies,
but then she really.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
And that I ate them all.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, because also, I mean the reality is if I
saw brownies, I would probably eat them all.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Two batches.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You need special brownies and regular brownies because after the
special brownies kick in, you just want more brownies that.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
You should not need the auxiliary brownies experience.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Absolutely, yes, so two batches.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Right, Well, in our special episode, we only had one.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
That's true. Did you guys ever do like some very
special episodes of Seventh Heaven that were like drug related
or did you ever have.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
That like we did?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Dare episode.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Was like thing we did.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Well what the episode we were smoked?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Wee oh, we have a shirt that says, yeah, that was.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
About as dark as we got down the drug zone.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, as far as we remember.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
We've only got season.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
We're only in season.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
And we have eleven seasons.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Told you guys, did you have drug stuff?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And there were there were some very special episodes that
I didn't even remember. We had an abstinence episode really
uh huh, yeah, where Cody. Cody is like a very
pivotal character who came on in the middle of season
one and was a major breakout character. So he was
sort of like the Fonzie. So he was this like
(31:49):
lived in his van like Cody, And there was a
whole episode where he and JT meet these girls and
the girls like are known for being like party girls,
and they're like, come back to our house, like let's
have it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Yeah, they wanted to basically go and you know, makeout,
and JT thinks it's going to be his moment He's
going to be able to like lose his virginity and
like with these hot girls, I'm like, come on, Cody,
let's do this. And Cody's very much the older you
know why Sage who's like, no, man, like I'm leaving,
I'm I want myself to be I want to be pure.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Man.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yes, this whole thing which was and as you're watching
it now, you know, Stacy and I both were like
we we got what it was saying. And he actually
and this is the nineties, right, so there were there
was talk of HIV in the episode because that was
a big topic of conversation and having not even having
safe sex, but having no sex. But his reasoning for
(32:47):
it was like very sort of strange and puritanical. It
wasn't just like this is like this is what I've
just decided for me. It was this sort of like
idea that if you have sex, then you're no longer
pure or chaste or something. It was this really interesting
We're both like.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Huh, isn't it interesting When you go back and revisit
these episodes. Sometimes you're like from this adult lens that
we're now watching it from, but you're like, okay, yeah,
interesting choice there. Yeah, because we're I think we're there's
some episodes where we're like.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Wow, we nailed it, we did great, And then.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
There's others where we're like, yeah, okay, this one's not
going to hold up as well. Yeah, yeah, not everything is,
but there are some episodes where as we revisit that
it has been really interesting, we're really.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Proud of, like, you know, yeah, we got the Color
of God. I'm still I'm holding onto that one.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
That one was like two hundred episodes.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
You're going to hit the bullseye of course a few times,
you know, like we had a lot of shots.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
We're going to have a lot of missus.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
And there's gonna be tons of darts in the wall.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, that's just how Yeah, like Lucy's cheerleading episode, it's
not one of my finest.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I still think your cartwheel fall stunt gag hilarious.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I will have to say my physical comedy. That is
one thing I do have. I might not be funny,
but I can make fun of myself and I can throw.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
My body around.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
That is that is that That is a skill, this skill,
it's a skill. I didn't get to do that that
much on with Darlings.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
No, not to but I mean you you you were
always I was just trying to keep up with you guys.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Man like you guys were so funny.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I mean, but you're you know, I think we all
played into like various aspects of our personalities, right, and
you know, there's there's something that just comes with such
ease when you can just make fun of yourself and
except those moments are like making fun of yourself for
being kind of like, I'll be the square one. Yeah,
you know, I was a hippie, dippy one.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
And then Jody Sweeten just Joe Jo Jody, which you know,
that's that's all you need to be, is just Jodi.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Well we're going to take a quick break and we'll
be right back.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
So we're back, and Christine was just telling us that
you have some that you're doing some audio narration for
some books.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Yes, I have a secret life. My secret life for
the last ten years is that I do a lot
of voiceover and it's something I've just I fell into
and I really love doing. But in the last like
ten years, I've probably voiced almost two hundred audio narrations.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
That is so cool.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Yeah, I basically get to read for a living sometimes,
which I love because I love to read. But the
other fun thing about it for me as an actor
is that you really get to not only set up
the tone of the story, but then you get to
do all these other parts.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
So it's like doing kind of like your own play
and you sit in a dark little room and no
one bothers you and it's just you and your voice.
But I do get sick of my own voice anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I see.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I feel vindicated now because I said this morning that
you should do as Mr Content.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah you have that great already.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Yeah, thank you. But yeah, so I do a lot
of if you're into crime, I do a lot of
the Michael Connolly Bosch and Ballard series. I play the
female detective Ballard. And then I have the next installment
of Abby Hamenez's book. She had a very big book
that was out last year called Justiner Summer, and she
has a new one coming out and I think in
(36:37):
the next few weeks. So, yeah, do you get it?
Speaker 6 (36:42):
So do you get a sneak peak of the book?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Like so I would say before everybody else, So you
get to read it first.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Oftentimes I do, and it's the not recordable copy, but
they'll send it ahead of the release, So then I get, Yeah,
I get the first sneak peek of.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
How much of a book do you do?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
And any single session, like a chapter at a time,
future at a time.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Because I've been doing it so long. It depends on
the type and it depends on the space and all that.
I can read about one hundred pages a day, it's
generally what I do. Some books are really dense and
very like I just read one that was that was
nonfiction and so it had a lot of dates and
times and places and it was about a murder and
(37:23):
so it was really dense with facts and figures and
all of that. So that makes that one took me. Yeah,
a lot of it took place in Louisiana, so a
lot of very specific words and names that look like
one thing but actually are pronounced differ stuffy.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
So that that's my that's my secret life. You can
find me on audible. So cool. That's fun. That's fun.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I mean, I knew you did a few of them,
but I didn't realize, like, two hundred books is a lot.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
It's a lot of reading, Yeah, a lot. I just
had one out called The Favorites, which is a really
fun book if you like. It's kind of like a
Nancy Carrigan Ton of Heart correction. It's myself and a
bunch of other Johnny Weirs in it. A bunch of
other people also read parts in it. But that's a
pretty fun one. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Well that's cool. Amazing. I mean, you are busy. You've
got your podcast.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
You got are you still doing your other podcasts as well? No?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Just the one? Just OK, I got it, you know.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, because you also have too many podcasts.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
You also have two children as well, also have two
children and you're very full.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
You're doing the mommy, Yeah, I mean their lives.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
How old are your children? There's six and eight? Oh yes, yes,
you're busy, very busy, all the sports. You know. My
daughter's getting braces today, it's yes, So it's it's fun though.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
In vis a line or like standard metal braces.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Like old school braces, real braces she wants. She's picking
and picking out the colors of the rubber bands. Back
in my day there were no they're yellow. I know,
there were no colored rubber bands. This is like a
whole new world.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
My kids too.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
So my kids already had theirs off.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
So yeah, well the first round, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
We're gonna My kid just lost her first too.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Oh my god, isn't it crazy that we all have kids?
It's just again, just such a bizarre I love it.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Like you know how we all met when we were
teenagers and look at us now, look at us.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Yeah, yeah, well you are.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
The best and I love you so so much, and
I appreciate you for joining us and taking the long
haul and the insane drive to get here to join
us on this lovely.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
How was that for you?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
You know, it wasn't I don't think it was as
bad as it was for both of you. It was
definitely heavier than I thought it was going to be.
But I just kind of stayed the course and listened
to a podcast.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
I'm what were you listening to? What podcasts were you
listening to?
Speaker 5 (39:58):
Sadly, I was listening to my own because I had
As it goes, right, I've seen always.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Working, always working, So we will Oh wait, actually there's
a question I think before we before audience, before we exit.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
So, uh, you're a director now, but as an actress,
I've seen You've worked with some pretty big name directors
in the past more than once, so they brought you back.
So you obviously left an impression with Gary Marshall and
Andy Fickman. What did you learn from directing by working
with those two big names, not just once but repeatedly,
seeing how their style change, and how did you incorporate that?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
That's good?
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Great es Jan Jared.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Yeah, Well, so Gary Man, I've known I knew Gary
for maybe a decade. I started working at his theater,
which at the time was the Falcon now it's the
Gary Marshall Theater. Okay, yeah, into Local Lake. So I'd
had I'd always had theater roots. And after the show
(40:58):
ended and I was doing little bit parts on series,
and you know, auditioning as you do, I decided to
go back and do some theater and so I had
auditioned for a play there and they had cast me.
And he would just come in and out, even if
he wasn't directing. He was always looking for people. That
was just part of Gary's thing. He liked young actors,
but he also liked like normal people too, so he
(41:23):
would pull people in all the time on his and
he loved to reuse people over and over again, and
especially the kids. I say, all of us young people
who did like a lot of stuff at the theater
in different various theater companies. He was always sourcing us
to play some of these parts in his films. And
his films were I mean, his films are iconic and
(41:44):
those sets were iconic. And the way he worked, he
was constantly making it as if it was just like
one big party, like he was more interested. Sometimes I
felt like in the after affairs, like we're doing a
parade on Friday, you gotta come with a funny cat
And I'm like, huh, wait what And he's like what,
(42:05):
who's doing the parade and they're like calling action and
he's like okay, okay, okay. Like he was just always
about the fun and and like he was really good
to the people that worked for him over and over again.
So I guess the things like learning from him watching
him even sometimes I worked on a few films, and
(42:25):
you know, sometimes you have an actor an actress is
a bit difficult, and to watch him, like nothing rattled
him ever. And he would show up on setting a
big sombrero and this actress is twelve hours late and
they're losing the light and here he is in a
sombrero because he's just gonna make it fun because he's
got to get the shot. So it's never about like
his ego about being pissed off, which by the way,
(42:47):
he totally could have been. So there was a lot
of that. I mean, he always said, like life is
more important than show business. And I guess that's easy
to say when you're very, very you know, successful, but
that's that was his emo all the time, I think.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
But that simple message is actually like a good reminder
to us, all, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
You have to have a real life, Yeah, and it
has to mean something if you're going to do anything
I think with your art that is that is going
to connect with with people. And I mean and Andy,
I worked with him so many times, and I mean
he's he's brilliantly funny. He's just got such a creative,
(43:29):
hilarious mind. And I mean he's a genius. He is
like a steal trap. He remembers everyone and everything and
like can reference a hundred movies. So he's just like
a savant in that in that manner.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
So yeah, what I would do to have a good
I know, God, I have kids. I know anything, I'm
gonna blame it on them too, because I'm like, I
think my kids just like took my memory.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
Yeah, like I've if only I could remember.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
I only have two, and I'm already messing up their names.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
I keep calling them by the dog's name.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
Well the second one is still so knew. So you've
got some time. He said, you just had a baby
in December.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
Maybe they do take your memory, because.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
I think they take a lot of I can't.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Remember something that like she heard one time months ago
and she's two.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Yeah, they're like elephants. And they told them that they're
going to get a treat or.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Goal, like I reveled that to myself while you were sleeping.
How do you know this?
Speaker 5 (44:24):
And they'll remember things like weeks later, Yeah, remember when
we went and did that thing and you said that
thing and I'm like, uh.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Don't hold me accountable.
Speaker 5 (44:33):
I told you we might have one day.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah that well, that is awesome and I'm so I'm
I love hearing all the stories about Gary and Andy
because those are some of the stories that I was
I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (44:49):
Yeah they were. I mean Gary was such a I
mean incredible.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
And you still continue to work at the Gary Marshall
Theater and do Yeah, because you choreograph to because that's
also a little done.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
In fact, she does.
Speaker 5 (45:03):
That's my other secret life.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
A lot of secrets, Christine. Do you have a lot
of there?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Teach me about this side hustle game.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
Yea, yeah, she was doing.
Speaker 6 (45:15):
You do choreography as well.
Speaker 5 (45:16):
I'm teaching a dance class tonight. If you want to come.
Speaker 6 (45:19):
You've seen my dance skills. I don't know that they're.
Speaker 5 (45:21):
You have to be good well class. Now we're doing
this dance class.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
I think camera, I'll stay in the back.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Cause it's a benefit.
Speaker 5 (45:35):
Yeah, we're doing benefit from Marquans and Pally High or
Pally Charter.
Speaker 6 (45:39):
Oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (45:40):
At the Gary Marshall, I love working there, Like i've
I've I feel like that place and the people around there.
I think we've all I don't know, I'll be I'll
be presumptuous. Maybe we've all had a moment in our
lives where you wonder, You've had this amazing thing that
you've been doing for a really long time and this
amazing community, you know, being on show, and then you
(46:01):
kind of that ends. And then I found myself being
like where.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Do I go?
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (46:07):
What do I do? Is this now my new life?
I just go from like job to job to job. Yeah,
that's what you do as an actor. But when you've
had this other thing as such a big part of
your life, I felt unmoored and I felt like I
really needed to find my people. And that's why I
went back to theater and that theater specifically, and the
(46:29):
people that I found there and like the community I
found there. I think that was really what I say
it all the time, I think it is what saved
my life. I mean, I think it's what gave me
purpose and it gave me grounding, and it gave me
a chance to just be myself without this like other
tape in my head being like you're supposed to you
should be why aren't you? I could just be me
and I could just be a part of these shows
(46:51):
and no one was. I don't know. I felt like
it was a different level of being an artist that
didn't come with the weight of everything else.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what I mean.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah, I'm still looking for my place, but it sounds lovely.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
Yeah, that's why I love.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
That's why I love to join you whenever like you
and because I've gotten to see a few shows at
the Gary Marshall Theater because you were so kind to
invite me and so it's been.
Speaker 6 (47:20):
But I'm that's that's so awesome, I.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Think because there is a lot once you come off
of a show, you're kind of like, uh.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
Well what now? Yeah? And who am I? And who
am I? As an actor? Do I even like doing this?
I think?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
I do? You know?
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Do I just think I should like doing it?
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Now that it's a completely different job? Do I still
like it?
Speaker 5 (47:41):
And now become an adult too? Who you are as
an adult versus who you were maybe when you started,
which was a child. You know, it's like you're.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
A very bewildering transition.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Well, luckily, I think we all survived and come out
on top.
Speaker 5 (47:58):
So far, we've come out for yourself.
Speaker 6 (48:03):
I mean I was trying to.
Speaker 5 (48:08):
No, I agree, I agree.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
That's me Christine. Hi, Christine, where's that?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Happy?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
So happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Because not only were you on an incredible show for
a very very long time, but you also were on
our show.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I was. I was on Seventh Heaven. It was one
of my first jobs after Step by Step ended.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Really really yes, I don't think I knew that.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I think I may have done like a a small
independent film, but this I think was my first guest
star after Yeah, And I remember the audition very well.
Do you act? Yes? Because I thought I blew it
at that time. I don't know. You would go you
would audition and sometimes you'd get a callback, and sometimes
you would just go straight to producers, like so that
was a thing. I think this may have been a
(02:20):
I don't remember. It may have been a straight to
producer's callback. And I remember going into that spelling building,
you know that was on Willshire, and there was a
big conference table. I don't I don't know who was
in there. They were putting me on tape or something,
and afterwards, I was like, well, I don't think that
went very well.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
I do have a vibe funny, because I think we've
all had those auditions where you walk out of there
and you're like, oh, well, yeah, out of sight, out
of mind, moving on, and then you get it on
your book. Yeah, it's weird how that happens more often
than you think it would.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And then like a couple hours later, my agent's like, oh,
you booked it. I was so excited, first of all
because it was such a big show, and second all,
like it was a drama. It was an hour long
on the c W.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Like it was just like it was like we were
c W by c W.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Okay okay, So it was like a lot of like
stuff and I got to play this like pregnant teen
at Risk Like it was all the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it was the long and storied list of pregnant teens.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
And you worked primarily with Catherine right. Yes, she's great.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
She's so easy and lovely to work with. Alison Lohman
was the other pregnant teen at risk.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yes, because there were two of you.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yes, so we had to wear pregnant bellies and it
was just like the whole thing was it was really fun.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
I think they just had like pregnant bellies like on like, yeah,
we had every We.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Had every version of a pregnant belly, right, all the
different phases.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, except I did. I actually had like one where
you wore them all. I wore many many pregnant bellies.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yeah, but I feel like it was Awesomething else was
like there was a big thing happening that week. You
were also celebrating like one hundred episodes or something. There
was like a big through the show.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
It was like, so, was there a big party.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes, they go, let you go. It was like for
lunch or something. It was like probably. And then you
and I were chatting on the way back from the lunch,
and I was like, oh my gosh, I just like
like meeting all the people because I wasn't in any
scenes with you. I know, you're so nice to me.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Oh well good, I'm so bad, I mean. And and
and then who knew that like our past would continue
to like be together.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And also fun fact, also.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You two Christine and David shared a studio teacher.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yes, correct, we did. Did you have Susie for the
entire time.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Not at the very beginning when we first started the show,
I think the first season or two studio teachers were
kind of in flux, and uh, but once we had
settled into our teacher, Susie was with me for the
ninety percent of the ride.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah. So yeah. Once I started working with Susie, I
was like.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I mean, talk about a run of having steady employment.
Well yeah, she said, some steady employment. Yeah, many years, Susie.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I mean, Susie's been around. I think we're we're gonna
we're gonna have Susie out.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So, but but get ready and Purple and turtles.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Susie is a lovely, eccentric, unique person that everyone will
will adore.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I am sure of it as much as we do.
But you had Susie on step by Step the whole time.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
The whole time, and then always my teacher.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
And then so after probably what what year did step
by Step end?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Yes? Nineteen ninety eight, ninety eight? Okakay, we started in
ninety six, seven.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Started ninety six, so it was probably she probably came
off of Step by Step straight over to us.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
That's probably why you didn't have her for those versions.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I mean, but there you go.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah, well yes, because she was still tutoring. Actually, let
me think about it, Yes, there was a little Yeah,
there was we had. There was a little girl that
came on the show. She was the daughter of Susanne
and Patrick, so there was a new child that entered
the scene. But by the last year of the show,
I was in college, so she wasn't doing me in
college unfortunately. Yeah, but we had many a time, Susie
(06:23):
and I. We went to Italy.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Together last year, by the way, she so, yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Was a senior in high school and that was like
my My parents gave me a graduation gift, which was
a plane ticket to Italy. But they don't want me
to go by myself, which hello, probably a good idea. Yeah,
so they they also bought a plane ticket for Susie
and so much fun. We had the best time.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Oh my gosh, that's so fun. Well, yeah, we'll have
to ask.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Her, Stuffy Susie a good time she is. She is
a great person to go on a trip with. Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
We went to Rome, Florence and Venice.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Oh the best. Yeah, the best places.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Food, the food, the food, the walking, you know, all
the different we went to, all the sights, we saw,
all the things, we ate all the gelados, mave had
some wine, that's when I was eighteen, Okay, allowed. We
went to a discotech one night.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yeah, yes, yes, of course that's that is that sounds perfect,
so cute.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And I got the pleasure of working with Christine also
on Hollywood Darlings, where we had some fun. That was
the I mean, that was a fun show. We had
no idea what we were getting into, which was basically
playing exaggerated versions of ourselves and just making fun of
ourselves on the daily.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yeah, and not and not memorizing any lines.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Just no, we're just yeah, we're going off the cup,
which was really awkward and very uncomfortable for me because
I was like, wait, I need to know what to say,
and like Christine and Jodi were like, we got this.
You guys were so like great and it was I
have to say, I was very intimidated, did you I did.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
A lot of improv like growing up. I was always
like in acting classes and doing like and I also
think it's very different doing a sitcom what you grew
up doing. Yeah, there's not a sense of improv in
it because you're not you have lines you're saying, but
you are reacting in real time to Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
The timing is completely different. The styles are different, totally.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, and the comedy is different because like, your jokes
run different on a sitcom than they do. Our jokes
are a little bit like understated and it's more like
reactionary than it is the actual words that are being said.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah, a lot of lots of falls down.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We discussed the other day, so.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
This is kind of off topic.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A lot of like pregnant pregnant characters on the show,
like not pregnant actors playing pregnant characters. Do we ever
have any pregnant actors playing not pregnant characters? Because I
don't know if anybody that I could think of was
ever actually pregnant during the eleven years that we were shooting.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well, they probably didn't tell us because if they weren't
supposed to be pregnant on the show, then they probably
wouldn't get hired.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
That's true because.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
There's a lot of imagine, if you're really pregnant, you're
if you're auditioning, which I imagine would be a nightmare, you
would only audition for really pregnant characters.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Pregnant, I was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Really pregnant when I shot a short film. I didn't
know I was really pregnant, but it was.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Well, how really pregnant would you be there? I wasn't
really pregnant.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Let me change it to actually pregnant.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Okay, all right, you said really pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I understand what ignant talking about.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I've definitely had to suck it in.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Oh well, that's just lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I mean, like I had auditioned for something. It went
further call back and went further than They're like, Okay,
we're gonna go to network, but it's not for like
another another week and a week and a half or something,
and I was like, oh yeah, I'm not going to
be able to By the time the network came around,
I had popped and I was like.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
This is not good.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I was wearing it was for some I don't I
think it was a Comedy Central pilot. I didn't get it.
But weirdly enough, there's another actress who I always you know,
when you go up against someone, But it's weirdly enough.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Everyone has a crowd of like two or three actors
that are always in the mix with you, so strange.
I can never tell if it's sometimes it's a look thing, sometimes.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's style thing. Yet, because it was Virginia Williams and
she's tall and like, it looks nothing like me.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't think you guys are always mixed together I did.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Did you ever introduce yourself to the people that were like, oh,
we always sitting folding chair across from.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
You, And I mean sometimes I do, and sometimes it
felt like people don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're like I always felt like in the in the
audition rooms, like I always felt like like that was
like my high school.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I was like, oh, like, hey, like it was always
fun to see some people.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But then there were some people again that were a
little bit less approachable that you could tell like, yeah,
they took themselves very and it's I think you always
respected the space, so you're like, oh, they're very serious.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
You learn after years of the audition circuit and doing
this stuff, you learn that, like, because you typically will
only see these people like in the waiting room and
you guys are sitting there for thirty or forty minutes together,
but you're in your head and you're trying to have
your stuff together for the room, and so you're it's
not the friendliest environment.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's hard to be really like jovial.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And nice and off the cuff when you like have
six pages in your head you're trying to keep straight.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
So and you're hoving that, they like trip and fall
on their face.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I was always yeah, I've always try my best to
be friendly as I could be and have respect for.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That for that zone, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
But but I've always over time, I've learned that, like
all these people are just like you, you know, like we're.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All kind of the same. We're all in it, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's like when you go to a party.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There were people who played the game, though there were
some because I do you remember there was some actresses
where I was like, oh, no, they're gonna mess with me,
and you're yes, I know, I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
There was always somebody who do her audition and then
she would hang out after and I'm like you've done.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, kids out of the room and they're like.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Gosh.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I definitely remember when people were like like came out
and were like, oh, you can go home now, and
I was like, oh that's aggressive.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Wow. I'm glad I wasn't in that category.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah, I mean I was crying the way home anyways.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
But I do think like, unfortunately, I feel like the
zoom culture pandemic whatever zoom culture now within self tape
culture has changed everything, and I do really miss that
some of that camaraderie and when you would go in
and like you would sit in a room and you
would see a few people you knew and you kind
of vibe off people's energy a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I loved the room.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I also just loved being able to work with the
casting director and have direction and.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Being able to make that change.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Because this the zoom culture, Like I feel like it's
also like it's the mirror culture. It's where you've memorized it,
You've looked in the mirror, you've done it a million times,
and like it's like part of acting is how you
react and how you can change and transition. And now
with zoom, like you're just getting this kind.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Of plus you can you can't get captured.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Honestly, I've booked I've booked things based on my flexibility exactly.
So sometimes you go in you're like and I'll tell
them like, hey, I thought maybe i'd do it like this,
and they're like, sure, let's see it. And then they're like, actually,
we think this this And then I'll flip it and
do something different and that's what's impressive exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So, but you can't get flexibility on a tape. But anyway,
we will be right back. We'll continue this a minute.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So we are back with Christine and we were talking
about auditions and how are they suck?
Speaker 6 (14:37):
And that's exactly what we're talking.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
The other thing is like them. I mean, I feel
like having directed people too. I always want to get
an idea of what you're like outside of what you
can do, you know, because isn't that part of it too?
You want to be You want to know like is
this person open to being directed? Can they change? What
(15:02):
is their personality like? Because sometimes I feel like actors
actually is that's the difference in the room, right, everybody
can nail the lines. Everybody's kind of doing it. Everybody
sort of looks like a different version of themselves. But
who is the person who's like bringing the funny and
just like bringing up funny ideas or maybe could improv
or whatever it is. And I feel like that's the
thing we're missing out on.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And when you're on a shoot, though, it is kind
of like you you're all off at camp together, and
when the whole crew and cast as harmonious. That's the
difference between a movie that's fun to work on and
when that you hate every minute of That's true.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, well, and I think I think you also brought
up a good point because Christine has been doing a
lot of directing. Yeah, and how has that experienced kind
of the transition from you know, being in front of
the camera to being so much behind the camera because
you've done a lot of directing.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, I started about, gosh, how hold's my son? Now?
I base everything on all of my kids are or
what color hair I had at the time there was yeah, exactly,
So yeah, about six years now. You know, I wanted
to get behind the camera for a really long time,
but it took. It just took a long time because it,
(16:12):
like anything, is very competitive and everybody wants to do it,
and who's going to give you a shot when you're
trying to tell him you can and all of that.
But what I felt like being on the other side
of it, I think, having been an actor, you know
what it's like to be directed by somebody who has
no idea how to how to connect the dots emotionally,
you know, And I never I wanted to be the
(16:34):
kind of director that could help an actor do that,
and whether it's comedy or drama, Like I think we
all know when you've connected with a director who really
understands what the joke is or can get you there
without actually giving you the line reading, or isn't just
saying can you just be faster?
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Yeah, There's there's like two kinds of directors. There's like
there's a kind of director that just tells you what
to do right and then and then there's the other
kind of director that kind of tries to find the
moment with you and like looks for it and so
like there. You know, I'm sure there are actors that
(17:09):
prefer just the more straightforward approach, but I always liked
the kind of like that's why I enjoyed auditions, particularly
at the at the higher levels when you're doing producer
calls and tapes further down when they're working with you,
because that's that's the stuff that I always liked, you.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Know, It's the journey yeah yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Well and looking for something interesting to do, and then
when you find it, it feels good, and that's where
you get the connection that you want to work with.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Someone yeah, that's like our I feel like, you know,
I mean not to compare this to sports, but I
feel like that's when you won the game, like those
moments where like, you know, you get that high when
you're like, ah, yes, I found it like that and
it I mean, that's what I missed because I did.
I actually loved auditioning as well, because I loved that
(17:59):
exploration of like like in the room, and I loved
changing it up. I loved surprising people like with a
totally different take, and I also loved being challenged and
being like, no, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Like that at all.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Actually we want you to switch.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It up, and that was the fun. And then once
they loved that, you're.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Like, yeah, I feel like I won the game shooting,
but I did not have that feeling. And auditions, but
I think you're also auditions.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You're also a lot younger though.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, auditioning is a whole different beings different This is
the perfect brushstroke that like, I just felt even to
be there.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
And some people are really good auditioners. Yeah, but have
you ever like and I know this probably is true
where there are people that are really good auditioners and
they get the job, but then they get to set
and they can't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah, because it's a totally different thing, you know, what
it's like to work on set. Like there are times
when you'd be in the middle of a take and
like you're flubbing a line and a seasoned actor would
be like, I'm sorry, let me just go back, and
then they would just start again, I know how to
put themselves back in. And then they're the actors who
were like, oh, I don't know what they atas apart, right,
because that's not part of the audition, you know, and
(19:10):
having all the hair and makeup and the lights and
the people and the technical stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like, yeah, the pressures are different and the workloads more
because like on audition, you're you're kind of like this
very small little portion that you're practicing, and then like
when you're on set, like you know, you could have
a very big day with eight pages and you have
right and or you can get thrown and you know,
the schedule can change and you have to be flexible,
(19:34):
and I think.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Like that was.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Always like an adventure for like, but I feel like
our set was also very like welcoming to like bring
people on. So if people like some we had a
lot of first time actors who had never gotten something before,
and then we had a lot of seasoned actors who
came off of like amazing shows.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
So but like I felt like we were always very
supportive of.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Helping someone through a big miss.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I like, That's why I think I much prefer doing
off camera work than anything else because of the best
feeling is like when you're there supporting somebody else and
you feel like you've done something to help pull the
best take out of them.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I do feel like I always, like always my best
work was always off camera.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
So many actors, I think feel that way.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Something about like the lights on it kind of makes
me feel like a deer in the headlights.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Like see all my best work when I'm I'm like
reacting to somebody ye off camera.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Yeah, but we're all set kids though, we all grew
up on sets, and so like that's it's a different
like there. I don't know, I feel like it kind
of imbues that into you that like you're you grow
up with the in that camera environment and working together
as a team, you know what I mean. It's it
because the auditions are very self centered. It's about my
(20:52):
performance and what I'm doing right now. When you're doing
a scene, it's not about you necessarily, you're you have
that coordination with everybody. And there's a big difference between
putting a scene together to for for them in the
room and putting a character together over the course of
a film or a show and having some kind of
consistency across ours, you know, potentially of constant. So you know,
(21:15):
I feel like our advantage was that that's that's where
we cut our teeth was on the set, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, did you ever feel I don't know how it
worked with you guys, because I only did the one
pregnant episode, But did you ever get pages like on
the day? No? No, okay, so change, but sometimes.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Sometimes we would get rewrits would come in.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
But our rewrits were typically light, just like little little
adjustments and things, not big sweeping change.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
But we weren't.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's the one advantage to like our show was like
we were very like structured and everything was Yeah, everything
was very well planned out and new. Yeah, we were
a well oiled machine. You know what I realized too,
is we all I worked with past your duffy when
I was really young, right on the Children of the
(22:05):
Bride movies. Yeah, and he was your dad on did
he play your played my grandpa? And I remember like
telling him that at nineties Con and I think he
was insulted and I didn't I really I remember.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I remember looking.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
At you and your like that have just stop, just
just stop, just stop talking. And I was like you
because I also I also told him that he played
my grandpa when I was like ten, and he was not.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Happy about it. I'm pretty yeah, I know he was.
He was my grandpa. He was just a hot grandpa.
It was fine.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I mean, you know, you were pregnant teen hello, I mean,
so it's fine.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
They were all actors. I mean, just trying to be different.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
We're just trying to work. Yeah, how because you also.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Went to nineties Con, How was that like kind of
reconnecting with your cast because you're kind of you're doing
a similar podcast as well.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah. So Stacy Keenan played my sister on the show.
We have a podcast. It's called Keenan and Lincoln Give
You Deja Vu. Longest title ever. But yeah, so it
was really fun. She and I have been in touch
over the years, and she is no longer in the business.
She is a was for many years a criminal prosecutor.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Well that's a change of.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
La DA's office. Yes, yes, complete change. Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah,
I went to law school. Ye. So it's really interesting
because she never watched the show. She's never seen step
by Step, so now here we are thirty years later,
and she was like, you know what I think would
be fun? I was like what, She's like, Well, I
do a lot of like analysis looking at blood spatter
all day. You know what I think would be fun
(23:42):
would be to watch the show again.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
And I was like, you know, I love the comparison.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Okay, sure, you need an outlet. So she's been watching
the show for the very first time, and it's pretty
funny to see somebody's free actions. Who are who's just
experiencing themselves as a teenager on television. It's like a
real like yeah, yeah mind, I don't know. So anyway,
(24:12):
it's been really fun to go through it with her,
and like we were the episodes and we talk about
and like she and I were close, but we had
just enough of an age gap when we were working
together that I was always kind of three years below.
So you know, when you're thirteen and seventeen, Like, you're
not going to be doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, that's ben yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Right, yeah, because we're four years a part.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah, so now I get to hear like all the
real stories of what she was doing in the nineties
when there was no social media or anything, and.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Like what I'm hearing.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It's fun. I mean, yeah, but we have a lot
of shared experiences and then I remember stuff she doesn't
remember at all anyway. But yeah, so that's been really fun.
And we've had some of our We've reconnected with some
of our cast that I hadn't seen years either, Like
Josh Burne hadn't seen him in like maybe thirty years.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah. And Chris Casteele, Oh my gosh, I grew. I
mean Chris and I had Susie. We were in the
same schoolroom. He played Mark on the show, and we
were in the same school room for like five years.
You know when you're in a school you spent Yeah, yeah,
you really like, you really like get very close to
them in a very unique way. Yeah. So ninety's con
was amazing. I mean, Chris was there, Stacy, myself, Angela
(25:24):
Brandon call which none of us had seen him in yours.
Patrick was there, so it was so fun. The whole
thing was like beat all my expectations. I did not
know it would be as fun as it was, honestly.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And on that note, we need to take a short
little break, but it won't be long. So if you're
not you stay with us.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I know for us too, nineties con was like it
was kind of that family reunion that like really got
that love like kind of flowing again. It's like because
I feel like so often like you have this connection
that nobody will ever understand and nobody knows like what
(26:08):
our shared experience is, nobody else ever can come compared to.
So once we were all together, I know, like our
family just got tighter. And that's obviously why you know
we're here and why it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Was an amazing reunion.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yea, our dinners every night we ate together and we
would go hang out in each other's room, and like
it was just like like reconnecting with a real family.
It was.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
It was so fun.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
And then for you guys, because it's been even longer
for since all of you guys were together, so you know,
and I know you guys had like a special dinner too, did.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
So it was Patrick Duffy's birthday, right, So we got
uh a private room at a steakhouse across the street,
and like we had a They were like when I
asked for I was like, oh, you know, we maybe
you know, planned for this, and they were so sweet.
They were like, shall we get you a cake? And
I was like, God, you do that, that'd be amazing.
So yeah, and Jason Marsen was there as well, and
(27:05):
we just had the loveliest dinner. I mean, Stacey and
I we always think that we can like keep up
with Patrick, like in terms of like his you know,
he's he's a he's a rack. He can just recount
so many great stories. He's an amazing storyteller. He has
a real love of fine wine. And we're always like, oh,
(27:27):
sure we'll have some wine. Oh sure we'll have some port.
What am I doing drinking port? I have no business
drinking And back in the hotel bar and like having
more cocktails. We had to leave at like five am,
Like it was a total mess. She and I were like,
you guys also had like.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Wait wait, I also remember you guys had because I
saw you in the lobby on.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Your adventure to get to Connecticut. Because let's just recap
for everyone. Nighty con Is in Hartford, Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
And Christine as Stacy showed up. Didn't you guys lost luggage?
You guys like miss planes.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I mean, David and I had an adventure on our own,
but I feel like your adventure was worse.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
We had to stay the night in Dallas.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Oh, yes, and we were in I don't know we're
in DC.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You should have taken the train.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Yes, we stay the night in Dallas. We got a hotel.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I think we slept for four hours. Stacey and I
had a slummer party, yes, yeah, and then we had
to like get rebooked back on the flight. They lost
her luggage. You know, it was It was a real thing.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
But what I loved is I saw you with a
big smile on your face and you're like, we're doing it.
We're here, happen, We're doing it.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Yeah. That's why I always pat carry on. I don't
trust anyone with my luggage.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, that's how I roll.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, you roll in a duffle bag.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Not it doesn't roll, it's a duffel bag.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
No, I got today. That's it. I rolled a duffel
bag and I'm good for days.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Well, when you're as gorgeous as you are, naturally you
don't need anything.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Well, and then you know that I'm gonna be anywhere near.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
You know that I perpetually overpack. So anything you need
I will have. That's true, including nut buckets, That's right,
tiny little bags of nuts. Yes, because you know you
need If you need a snack, I will have them.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Because on Hollywood Darlings, I definitely was the snack keeper.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You had the snacks, if you needed advil, if you
needed uh, I don't contact solution like you go to bed.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
It's almost like I had, like I feel I had
like a business sout fire bag, like whatever you need. Oh,
we did do that episode where I brought my vitam X.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Too, and yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah to the to the Westling Phillis Chins. Yeah, that
was so much fun. I just it was on on
good Old Pop.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
What did I don't what was that episode?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I don't remember what you were making smoothies.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
That's also because that was because I had snacked on
your pot brownies and that episode, Yeah, that was wow.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Jared.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
The storyline, it's storyline, yes, in storyline, because the whole
joke was that it's actually.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Not really a joke. It's probably real.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'm so square that I don't do anything like fun
and we needed her to relax.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Yeah, and she didn't realize that they were pop brownies,
but then she really.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
And that I ate them all.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, because also, I mean the reality is if I
saw brownies, I would probably eat them all.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Two batches.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You need special brownies and regular brownies because after the
special brownies kick in, you just want more brownies that.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
You should not need the auxiliary brownies experience.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Absolutely, yes, so two batches.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Right, Well, in our special episode, we only had one.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
That's true. Did you guys ever do like some very
special episodes of Seventh Heaven that were like drug related
or did you ever have.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
That like we did?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Dare episode.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Was like thing we did.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Well what the episode we were smoked?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Wee oh, we have a shirt that says, yeah, that was.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
About as dark as we got down the drug zone.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, as far as we remember.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
We've only got season.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
We're only in season.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
And we have eleven seasons.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Told you guys, did you have drug stuff?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And there were there were some very special episodes that
I didn't even remember. We had an abstinence episode really
uh huh, yeah, where Cody. Cody is like a very
pivotal character who came on in the middle of season
one and was a major breakout character. So he was
sort of like the Fonzie. So he was this like
(31:49):
lived in his van like Cody, And there was a
whole episode where he and JT meet these girls and
the girls like are known for being like party girls,
and they're like, come back to our house, like let's
have it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Yeah, they wanted to basically go and you know, makeout,
and JT thinks it's going to be his moment He's
going to be able to like lose his virginity and
like with these hot girls, I'm like, come on, Cody,
let's do this. And Cody's very much the older you
know why Sage who's like, no, man, like I'm leaving,
I'm I want myself to be I want to be pure.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Man.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yes, this whole thing which was and as you're watching
it now, you know, Stacy and I both were like
we we got what it was saying. And he actually
and this is the nineties, right, so there were there
was talk of HIV in the episode because that was
a big topic of conversation and having not even having
safe sex, but having no sex. But his reasoning for
(32:47):
it was like very sort of strange and puritanical. It
wasn't just like this is like this is what I've
just decided for me. It was this sort of like
idea that if you have sex, then you're no longer
pure or chaste or something. It was this really interesting
We're both like.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Huh, isn't it interesting When you go back and revisit
these episodes. Sometimes you're like from this adult lens that
we're now watching it from, but you're like, okay, yeah,
interesting choice there. Yeah, because we're I think we're there's
some episodes where we're like.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Wow, we nailed it, we did great, And then.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
There's others where we're like, yeah, okay, this one's not
going to hold up as well. Yeah, yeah, not everything is,
but there are some episodes where as we revisit that
it has been really interesting, we're really.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Proud of, like, you know, yeah, we got the Color
of God. I'm still I'm holding onto that one.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
That one was like two hundred episodes.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
You're going to hit the bullseye of course a few times,
you know, like we had a lot of shots.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
We're going to have a lot of missus.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
And there's gonna be tons of darts in the wall.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, that's just how Yeah, like Lucy's cheerleading episode, it's
not one of my finest.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I still think your cartwheel fall stunt gag hilarious.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I will have to say my physical comedy. That is
one thing I do have. I might not be funny,
but I can make fun of myself and I can throw.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
My body around.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
That is that is that That is a skill, this skill,
it's a skill. I didn't get to do that that
much on with Darlings.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
No, not to but I mean you you you were
always I was just trying to keep up with you guys.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Man like you guys were so funny.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I mean, but you're you know, I think we all
played into like various aspects of our personalities, right, and
you know, there's there's something that just comes with such
ease when you can just make fun of yourself and
except those moments are like making fun of yourself for
being kind of like, I'll be the square one. Yeah,
you know, I was a hippie, dippy one.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
And then Jody Sweeten just Joe Jo Jody, which you know,
that's that's all you need to be, is just Jodi.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Well we're going to take a quick break and we'll
be right back.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
So we're back, and Christine was just telling us that
you have some that you're doing some audio narration for
some books.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Yes, I have a secret life. My secret life for
the last ten years is that I do a lot
of voiceover and it's something I've just I fell into
and I really love doing. But in the last like
ten years, I've probably voiced almost two hundred audio narrations.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
That is so cool.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Yeah, I basically get to read for a living sometimes,
which I love because I love to read. But the
other fun thing about it for me as an actor
is that you really get to not only set up
the tone of the story, but then you get to
do all these other parts.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
So it's like doing kind of like your own play
and you sit in a dark little room and no
one bothers you and it's just you and your voice.
But I do get sick of my own voice anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I see.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I feel vindicated now because I said this morning that
you should do as Mr Content.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah you have that great already.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Yeah, thank you. But yeah, so I do a lot
of if you're into crime, I do a lot of
the Michael Connolly Bosch and Ballard series. I play the
female detective Ballard. And then I have the next installment
of Abby Hamenez's book. She had a very big book
that was out last year called Justiner Summer, and she
has a new one coming out and I think in
(36:37):
the next few weeks. So, yeah, do you get it?
Speaker 6 (36:42):
So do you get a sneak peak of the book?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Like so I would say before everybody else, So you
get to read it first.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Oftentimes I do, and it's the not recordable copy, but
they'll send it ahead of the release, So then I get, Yeah,
I get the first sneak peek of.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
How much of a book do you do?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
And any single session, like a chapter at a time,
future at a time.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Because I've been doing it so long. It depends on
the type and it depends on the space and all that.
I can read about one hundred pages a day, it's
generally what I do. Some books are really dense and
very like I just read one that was that was
nonfiction and so it had a lot of dates and
times and places and it was about a murder and
(37:23):
so it was really dense with facts and figures and
all of that. So that makes that one took me. Yeah,
a lot of it took place in Louisiana, so a
lot of very specific words and names that look like
one thing but actually are pronounced differ stuffy.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
So that that's my that's my secret life. You can
find me on audible. So cool. That's fun. That's fun.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I mean, I knew you did a few of them,
but I didn't realize, like, two hundred books is a lot.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
It's a lot of reading, Yeah, a lot. I just
had one out called The Favorites, which is a really
fun book if you like. It's kind of like a
Nancy Carrigan Ton of Heart correction. It's myself and a
bunch of other Johnny Weirs in it. A bunch of
other people also read parts in it. But that's a

I appreciate you for joining us and taking the long
haul and the insane drive to get here to join
us on this lovely.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
How was that for you?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
You know, it wasn't I don't think it was as
bad as it was for both of you. It was
definitely heavier than I thought it was going to be.
But I just kind of stayed the course and listened
to a podcast.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
I'm what were you listening to? What podcasts were you
listening to?
Speaker 5 (39:58):
Sadly, I was listening to my own because I had
As it goes, right, I've seen always.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Working, always working, So we will Oh wait, actually there's
a question I think before we before audience, before we exit.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
So, uh, you're a director now, but as an actress,
I've seen You've worked with some pretty big name directors
in the past more than once, so they brought you back.
So you obviously left an impression with Gary Marshall and
Andy Fickman. What did you learn from directing by working
with those two big names, not just once but repeatedly,
seeing how their style change, and how did you incorporate that?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
That's good?
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Great es Jan Jared.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Yeah, Well, so Gary Man, I've known I knew Gary
for maybe a decade. I started working at his theater,
which at the time was the Falcon now it's the
Gary Marshall Theater. Okay, yeah, into Local Lake. So I'd
had I'd always had theater roots. And after the show
(40:58):
ended and I was doing little bit parts on series,
and you know, auditioning as you do, I decided to
go back and do some theater and so I had
auditioned for a play there and they had cast me.
And he would just come in and out, even if
he wasn't directing. He was always looking for people. That
was just part of Gary's thing. He liked young actors,
but he also liked like normal people too, so he
(41:23):
would pull people in all the time on his and
he loved to reuse people over and over again, and
especially the kids. I say, all of us young people
who did like a lot of stuff at the theater
in different various theater companies. He was always sourcing us
to play some of these parts in his films. And
his films were I mean, his films are iconic and
(41:44):
those sets were iconic. And the way he worked, he
was constantly making it as if it was just like
one big party, like he was more interested. Sometimes I
felt like in the after affairs, like we're doing a
parade on Friday, you gotta come with a funny cat
And I'm like, huh, wait what And he's like what,
(42:05):
who's doing the parade and they're like calling action and
he's like okay, okay, okay. Like he was just always
about the fun and and like he was really good
to the people that worked for him over and over again.
So I guess the things like learning from him watching
him even sometimes I worked on a few films, and
(42:25):
you know, sometimes you have an actor an actress is
a bit difficult, and to watch him, like nothing rattled
him ever. And he would show up on setting a
big sombrero and this actress is twelve hours late and
they're losing the light and here he is in a
sombrero because he's just gonna make it fun because he's
got to get the shot. So it's never about like
his ego about being pissed off, which by the way,
(42:47):
he totally could have been. So there was a lot
of that. I mean, he always said, like life is
more important than show business. And I guess that's easy
to say when you're very, very you know, successful, but
that's that was his emo all the time, I think.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
But that simple message is actually like a good reminder
to us, all, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
You have to have a real life, Yeah, and it
has to mean something if you're going to do anything
I think with your art that is that is going
to connect with with people. And I mean and Andy,
I worked with him so many times, and I mean
he's he's brilliantly funny. He's just got such a creative,
(43:29):
hilarious mind. And I mean he's a genius. He is
like a steal trap. He remembers everyone and everything and
like can reference a hundred movies. So he's just like
a savant in that in that manner.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
So yeah, what I would do to have a good
I know, God, I have kids. I know anything, I'm
gonna blame it on them too, because I'm like, I
think my kids just like took my memory.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
Yeah, like I've if only I could remember.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
I only have two, and I'm already messing up their names.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
I keep calling them by the dog's name.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
Well the second one is still so knew. So you've
got some time. He said, you just had a baby
in December.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
Maybe they do take your memory, because.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
I think they take a lot of I can't.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Remember something that like she heard one time months ago
and she's two.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Yeah, they're like elephants. And they told them that they're
going to get a treat or.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Goal, like I reveled that to myself while you were sleeping.
How do you know this?
Speaker 5 (44:24):
And they'll remember things like weeks later, Yeah, remember when
we went and did that thing and you said that
thing and I'm like, uh.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Don't hold me accountable.
Speaker 5 (44:33):
I told you we might have one day.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah that well, that is awesome and I'm so I'm
I love hearing all the stories about Gary and Andy
because those are some of the stories that I was
I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (44:49):
Yeah they were. I mean Gary was such a I
mean incredible.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
And you still continue to work at the Gary Marshall
Theater and do Yeah, because you choreograph to because that's
also a little done.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
In fact, she does.
Speaker 5 (45:03):
That's my other secret life.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
A lot of secrets, Christine. Do you have a lot
of there?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Teach me about this side hustle game.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
Yea, yeah, she was doing.
Speaker 6 (45:15):
You do choreography as well.
Speaker 5 (45:16):
I'm teaching a dance class tonight. If you want to come.
Speaker 6 (45:19):
You've seen my dance skills. I don't know that they're.
Speaker 5 (45:21):
You have to be good well class. Now we're doing
this dance class.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
I think camera, I'll stay in the back.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Cause it's a benefit.
Speaker 5 (45:35):
Yeah, we're doing benefit from Marquans and Pally High or
Pally Charter.
Speaker 6 (45:39):
Oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (45:40):
At the Gary Marshall, I love working there, Like i've
I've I feel like that place and the people around there.
I think we've all I don't know, I'll be I'll
be presumptuous. Maybe we've all had a moment in our
lives where you wonder, You've had this amazing thing that
you've been doing for a really long time and this
amazing community, you know, being on show, and then you
(46:01):
kind of that ends. And then I found myself being
like where.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Do I go?
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (46:07):
What do I do? Is this now my new life?
I just go from like job to job to job. Yeah,
that's what you do as an actor. But when you've
had this other thing as such a big part of
your life, I felt unmoored and I felt like I
really needed to find my people. And that's why I
went back to theater and that theater specifically, and the
(46:29):
people that I found there and like the community I
found there. I think that was really what I say
it all the time, I think it is what saved
my life. I mean, I think it's what gave me
purpose and it gave me grounding, and it gave me
a chance to just be myself without this like other
tape in my head being like you're supposed to you
should be why aren't you? I could just be me
and I could just be a part of these shows
(46:51):
and no one was. I don't know. I felt like
it was a different level of being an artist that
didn't come with the weight of everything else.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what I mean.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah, I'm still looking for my place, but it sounds lovely.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
Yeah, that's why I love.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
That's why I love to join you whenever like you
and because I've gotten to see a few shows at
the Gary Marshall Theater because you were so kind to
invite me and so it's been.
Speaker 6 (47:20):
But I'm that's that's so awesome, I.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Think because there is a lot once you come off
of a show, you're kind of like, uh.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
Well what now? Yeah? And who am I? And who
am I? As an actor? Do I even like doing this?
I think?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
I do? You know?
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Do I just think I should like doing it?
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Now that it's a completely different job? Do I still
like it?
Speaker 5 (47:41):
And now become an adult too? Who you are as
an adult versus who you were maybe when you started,
which was a child. You know, it's like you're.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
A very bewildering transition.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Well, luckily, I think we all survived and come out
on top.
Speaker 5 (47:58):
So far, we've come out for yourself.
Speaker 6 (48:03):
I mean I was trying to.
