Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nine with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hi, everybody,
welcome to another episode of nine O two one od MG, Hi,
I'm girlies. Hi, beautiful ladies, Hi, and all our beautiful

(00:23):
friends out there listening to us. Thank you guys for
checking it out. We have another episode, but before we
get to that, I wanted to check in with you, guys.
Three beautiful ladies and a belly. That's very small belly.
But it's how you feel Insis I feel good? I
feel like the nausea is think of the past. Do

(00:45):
you feel different this time around then with the twins?
Not really so far. It's kind of the same. Like
I was nauseous with the twins and the first trimester,
and as soon as the second trimester it was like
a light switch and all of that was gone. And
I have like burst of energy all of a sudden.
But we'll see, we'll see when I get bigger. Are
you sick? We're still waiting for that burst of energy? What?

(01:09):
What there it is? Are you sick of talking about
it yet? No? No, I'd be like, yeah, I'm pregnant,
get over at people. Yeah. She would be like that,
what do you how do you guys feel about when
people just come in with the belly touch. I'm guessing

(01:30):
I know how Jen felt about that when you were
pregnant and people be like, oh, let me get your belly.
So like, right now, I hate it because I feel
like it's just like my fat, like yeah, you know,
it's like not really a bump. Like my dad went
in for that the other day. I saw him, and
I guess that's my Dad's like, I really don't care,
but anybody else no, yeah, but when you get big,

(01:51):
when I get big, it's like it bumps into everything anyway.
It's like, doesn't really bother me. Jed, I'm guessing you
were not okay with it. I'm gonna go with no.
But you know, it's unavoidable at a certain point. It's like, yeah,
the elephant in the room, they gotta just touch it.
Do you ever have that? Like you you have you

(02:11):
of course let people touch it. You know, me touch
my head. I was like, no, please don't touch it,
And outside I'm like, sure, whatever you want to do
to me, you know. So, are you not a hugger, Jenny?
I mean I'm not really a hugger. I think we've
talked about that before. By nature, I'm just not a huggers.

(02:35):
Not like I don't like people at all or anything,
but I it takes me a minute to warm up
to someone and and their germs. Yeah, I just go
right in. But let me tell you, when she is
a hugger and she loves you, she gives the best, longest,
tightest hugs. Amazing. Yeah. The last time I hugged you,
I almost didn't let you go. I know, and I

(02:56):
never know. I'm like, they're let Oh is it too soon?
What do we do? So Bo just had a birthday.
He just turned four, and I'm super sad, you guys,
because you know what this means. This to me, It
meant officially that I no longer have a baby. Noel
Wow four. I was like, you're a full blown kid now.

(03:18):
Oh man lit Bodine. Yeah, he is the cutest little
boy my eyes have ever seen. He's a cute guy.
I keep thinking I should record his little voice because
I forgot to with the rest. And it changes one day.
It's just like not that little, tiny, little baby voice anymore.
And it's I feel like that's going to happen real soon.

(03:40):
I think about that all the time. Yeah, The one
great thing about my ex is he did so much
recording of the kids, so that we have tons and
tons of footage of them when they were little from
that like big you know video camera you used to use,
kind of like David Silver's. Yeah, and I've since put

(04:01):
it all on CDs and the girls have them and
they love watching themselves when they were babies. I love that.
It's so cute. I have none of that. Man, did
you have a birthday party for him? I mean what
we can do just our family, but we have so
many family members that it is a birthday surprise, so

(04:22):
there's none of black kids around. Yeah. My friend Jess
who you know Jen, her daughter Sophia came over. She's two.
Both calls her his girlfriend. And he wanted Mickey Mouse.
But he was very exact with what he wanted, which
was great. It helped make it easier. He wanted a
Mickey Mouse cake and he said, I want Mickey Mouse balloons,

(04:42):
a Mickey Mouse pinata, a mi a Mickey Mouse bounce castle,
and I want you to put something down on the
table that's Mickey Mouse and put everything on it. I
was like, oh, he's like a little party designer. He
knew a tablecloth, a Mickey Mouse tablecloth. Okay, party city here,
I come done. Oh my god, I missed those days
of the big birthday party days. I know. Well now

(05:05):
it's so different though, I mean, he's fine. It's harder
like Liam's birthday is coming up next week, and he
was the first. His birthday happened when La went into lockdown.
His thirteenth birthday, which is a big birthday birthday, so
he didn't have his thirteenth birthday party, and now his
fourteenth he won't have either. So I feel the status
for teenagers, Yeah, definitely, because they remember those parties. Yeah, huge, Miles.

(05:31):
One day, your sixteenth is going to be huge. We'll
give Bo a happy birthday kiss from me. I well,
you know you want to smother him with kisses? I do,
I do. So what do we got this week? Oh?
We have a whole new episode Episode sixteen. Fame is
Where You Find It. It aired on February twenty eight,

(05:55):
nineteen ninety one. It was directed by Paul Schneider and
written by our good friend Darren Starr and the synopsis
the right look at the right place, at the right
time gets Brandon a shot at TV stardom. Little does
he know the lead Lydia Leads has other reasons why
she's bringing him onto the show. Meanwhile, Brenda plays a

(06:15):
role covering for Brandon at his restaurant shop and gets
a little taste of her own acting. What a fun
just the synopsis you're in right, Yeah, it's like Hollywood
and acting and all the lights of it all. It's
episode was fun. Yeah, it was. I enjoyed watching it
and like seeing the you know, behind the scenes. I'm

(06:37):
sure everybody really loved watching that back in the day
because they didn't really have access to knowing what it
was like on a set, you know, or people in
you know, Kansas or I mean wherever, Germany, whoever was
watching the show. They didn't really know what it looked like.
But that's what it looked like. That's what it looks like.
You're so right, Like nowadays there's shows that picked Hollywood

(07:00):
behind the scenes and reality shows, but we're right. There
was nothing then, and they did a damn good job.
We did that. We did that on a BH two
and no we went did a little behind the curtain
stuff with sets and all the goings on behind the scenes.
I love that stuff me too. Apparently you guys didn't,

(07:23):
but you know they no, we did. I know. Sorry,
let me take that again. Apparently Fox didn't love it.
Oh no, we both know. Fox had an agenda going in.
They wanted for six episodes. It was like an event
limited series for them, and that's all they wanted. Remember

(07:48):
the day we read it in the press, a limited
events series. We had never heard those words, and we're like, wait, wait,
two thinks red flags limited events. I thought we just
got a series picked up. What's happening here is that's
just how it happens. They're like, nah, we we well,
we asked our people to ask their people, and by

(08:09):
the time you know, they came back to us, it
was like, oh no, this is just what we do.
We say event to make it more exciting. So we're like, oh, okay, yeah,
we're both calling bullshit on that. One foolis once fullis Twightwait?
How's that going? Fool me once? Shame on you, fool
me twice, shame on somebody else me. Oh yeah, so

(08:31):
they shall never foolish again. Never could you have gone
to another network? We could have, but the we we
just kind of felt like it was supposed to be
at Fox, and I don't know, taking it somewhere else
felt a little weird. Well, we would follow you guys where.
Well yeah, but enough about that show. Let's talk about

(08:55):
this show. Okay. First of all, right out of the gate,
the director of the show, I was very confused first
of all going in, because I was like, wait, why
is there a criminal in Beverly Hills with a knife?
What's happening the same where did that guy come from? Out?
So Hey, Hello, I don't know what to do. Sorry,

(09:15):
I don't know what to do. He was supposed to
be taken out of here before the podcast. Clearly he's not.
He's still in here. He wants to be with you. Yeah,
that was my first thought too. When I saw the
graffiti on the playground, I was like, okay, well, this
is not Beverly Hills. And then and then you they
yell cut, and then you realize, oh, it's a TV show.
They're filming a TV show where at the same park

(09:37):
where Brandon is rollerblading? You know, so lucky? What a
lucky quinkadink? Yeah? But did you guys roller blade? I'd
like to know I did you did? I watched people rollerblade,
you know stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, I was. He

(10:00):
was like doing like hockey, like street hockey too. Jason's
a hockey player, so it is. And then I was
saying mad moves. That makes sense because his characters from Minnesota,
and it's real icing cold there. They play a lot
of hockey there, so good, good chance for him to
show off his moves. But then, but then the director
comes in and kisses the actress. Did you notice that? Okay?

(10:23):
Did you see? I could have sworn that when he
went into kiss or she almost turned and gave him
her mouth. Did you notice that? It's like he came
in she had a moment like, okay, like they were
real too close to were real friendly. I don't. I
didn't remember the episode from when we first shot it,
so I thought it was going to go a different
direction because we have all these themes of older romances.

(10:43):
I didn't know. Well, I'm glad it didn't me too,
but I thought that. And I was also confused by
her name. Her name is Lydia Leeds. That's a very
I don't know what that seems like. It's such a
made up name, Lydia Leeds. I guess the Leeds could
be someone's name, but I actually liked it because it

(11:04):
felt like her name was like Lydia, like Lydia Leisenberg
or something. And they were like, no, no, no, that's
not gonna fly. So it's Lydia Leads. They changed sing name,
which happens you here in Hollywood. They're like, that name's
too long, let us make it something more like TV friendly.

(11:24):
I wanted to change my name, did you, Madonna? You
probably didn't have that option. I never liked Tory, but
now I do, but I didn't. What did you want
to change yours too? Anything? Because when I was in school,
which was right before I got into acting, when I
was like in elementary school, they called me Jenny Barf.

(11:48):
Jenny Barf, I mean, and when you think about it
kind of works. I shall only call you Jenny Barr
from now. No. That the best I know. I thought
you'd like that. You just made my day. Uh well,
those kids are sad now because yeah, jokes on them. Yeah.

(12:13):
So Brandon goes into the makeup trailer right, which is
obviously I'm sorry, Hello, I had been pregnancy gases the
worst I hear, you know, when they go into like
the makeup trailer or they're outside on the with all

(12:34):
the trucks around the lights and on the more the
arm sets. That is like the saving grace for a
production because they get to use what we already have
around the lot. You know, we had that makeup trailer,
so that was the set for that scene, and they
we had all the lighting equipment and all that stuff,
so they didn't have to bring all that stuff in.
I felt like they even probably use some of our

(12:55):
actual crew members as well. It's just I'm b H
nine two. No, we did the same, Like we had
a makeup trailer scene. We used our makeup trailer and
we used our makeup artists. Yeah. That was fun. Yeah,
But I loved how when Brandon goes into the makeup trailer,
the act Lydia leads is reading Entertainment Weekly. For me,

(13:20):
I don't know, I just made me laugh that that's
the magazine they choose for her to read because they've
got an actress. You know, you have to Yeah, you
have to be you have to keep on top of
your game, you know. I guess, so maybe I should
start reading that ship. No, technically, if he was going

(13:45):
into the makeup and hair trailer, he wouldn't have his
bandana on his head yet because that would have been
given to makeup and hair. They would have done this
makeup and then they would have put it on, because
that would have been considered hair, not wardrobe. Well, maybe
he just fell in love with it and he just
wanted to wear it all the time. That bandana, look,
I mean, that whole outfit. I wonder Jason's reaction when

(14:08):
they were like, this is what you're gonna wear. If
he was like, yeah, I'm totally into this pink bandana.
I kind of doubt it. I'm gonna say no, But
he did seem rather comfortable wearing that makeup. He didn't
flinch when she was putting on all that makeup on
his face, kept swiping it on. Then Brandon goes back

(14:34):
home and he talks about he talks about it to Brendan.
I thought that there. I really felt the sibling ism
in this episode. I felt like rivalry, yeah, the rivalry,
but just the connection to like between brother and sister
and especially twins. They seemed it just seemed really cohesive
and like it it went well. I loved it. M

(14:54):
Like the bargaining with the top two shelves or the
top two drawers. Yeah, exactly. I thought Brandon looked really
good on camera. I thought he could he could have
been an actor. I'm telling you he did. He looked
you know who he looked like. Who looked just like
that guy Jason Priestley interchangeable. Wow, that is uncanny. I know,

(15:18):
so young, and those looked just like this guy from
Sister Kates. I know he always had the pinkest lips,
didn't They didn't. They say, like at some point they
thought like makeup was putting on, like gloss or something
on his lips because they were so pink. But it
was just as like he had these great lips. Yeah
he did. He had very beautiful lips. How much did

(15:41):
you love? When Lydia Leads comes to pick up Brandon
in a white limo stretch, I felt at home actually
because I grew up with a white limbo. Oh my god, okay,
please talk about that. Oh my gosh, that was like
your family station. I got a white limo. I know

(16:02):
we had a station wagon too. Wait that one, I
don't believe I did. I didn't. I went. I went
in the station wagon with my nanny on weekends and
I only went in the limo when my parents weren't.
It's not like I ever got taken in the limo
by myself. It was only if you know, mister and
missus spelling were in the limo, we got to go
in the limo. But my parents did take it to

(16:22):
like school events, and in elementary school that was not
cool to like roll up in a limo and like
you would drop like there was like some recital and
they had to drop me off first, so they went
in the long line. And I was so mortified that
I would not get out of the limo. When I
made them like drive around and drop me off in
the back and like walk in, I was like devastated.

(16:45):
I think like one percent of the world can relate
to that story because it's like the exact opposite for
like a yellar person they get embarrassed because their mom's
car so gross, or they don't want to anyone to
see the real car. You know. All we wanted was
to be in limos, I know. And all I wanted
it was to be a regular kid because people made
fun of me. I would get bullied at school for

(17:07):
being like the rich girl in school, and I was
like I didn't know how to fight back with that.
I was just like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
My dad's rich. Don't worry, I'll get paid back soon enough.
I'll be cut out of the wheel one day. Just kidding.
Flash forward forward, Yeah, but the white limo really took

(17:28):
me right back to the nineties hardcore. They don't they
don't really use white limos anymore unless it's like a wedding.
You're right now. It's just like the Limo escalade or
one where'd all the white limos go. That's what I'd
like to know. The white limos go like a graveyard,

(17:50):
Limo graveyard. That would be rad to have an old
like nineties or eighties like white limo and just drive
it as your car. Hey, I should get one. I probably.
I bet they're not like expensive now and I could
fit my entire family and excuse that would be the ticket.
Just stick out the alcohol bottles before you put them

(18:10):
in there. Oh the spots they have for it. Now,
I'll just have like the thing you open up has
all the ice. I'll just have like juice boxes in there. Perfect.
I'm this is going to work out, Thank you. We
have we have a guest today coming up to Ah.
It's very exciting because I'm actually a fan of hers
and you probably are too. Amy Hill is with us.

(18:33):
She played She played the like assistant director on the
TV show that we called them first Ads. They really
do it all the first ads on certain charge. Yea,
she was in charge. Basically we got we get to
talk to her. Why don't we do that after the break?
You guys? Sounds good? Hi Amy? Yeah, Hi Amy, thanks

(19:09):
for joining seeing you well? Happy to be here? Well,
I would be happy to be where you are. You're
in Hornian, aren't you. I know. I'm very You're currently
filming magnum Pi right now. That's so nice. I know,
I'm so lucky in Hawaii. Wow, I want a dream Hawaii.
Who knew that this would be the perfect place to
be in? I know, I'm sure more shows are gonna

(19:35):
want to film there. Well, you know it's great because
we are, you know, predominantly Asian Americans, so we are
very compliant. We all wear masks. Not a lot of
Karen's here, and uh, you know, we we kind of

(19:56):
created our own bubble by shutting down keep coming in
for a while. Now people come in and they had
to be protested. We had a sort of a spike
a couple of times January we went up from like
thirty a day to three hundred a day. But now
we're back to like thirty under. I mean it's very

(20:17):
We had like a one point one percent positivity, So
that's great, that's amazing. I'm freaking out right now because
I am such a big fan of yours from there's
one thing in particular, Is it bad if I just
say the one thing that I loved you in so much?
Cat and the Hat? Oh? Is that random? That you
were my favorite? I've watched that movie like a hundred times.

(20:40):
Thank you so much. That was that was so much fun.
I mean I really looked forward to it because you know,
before I did it, I thought, oh, my dream would
be to you know, be in like crazy makeup and
a lot of prosthetics, and and then after you do it,
you go this. Why did I say? Yes? Yeah? But

(21:02):
you looked amazing. It was how many hours did it
take to do that that long? It wasn't as bad
as Mike Myers, but it was a couple of hours.
And then it took like a couple of hours to
take it off. They had to scrape everything. It was
really I wasn't that much fun. But and I also
did my own stunts, which at the beginning I thought
great and then at the end was like, ah, it

(21:26):
was hard, but you know, we always have to do
take these challenges as they come. Well, that one paid
off for me. Oh good, thank you so much. So
what do you remember about being on Beverly Hills Line
Up two? I know back in the day. I know
you've done so much, so I'm sure you don't remember
much from this experience, but actually do you I do, really.

(21:51):
It was the first It was one of the first
jobs that I had in Los Angeles, and I knew
Charles Rosen. He was a friend of a friend and
so he was very like he was there and he
was you know, he hung out with me because you know,
when you're a guest star on anything, especially when you
haven't been around very long, you feel like, you know, hi, Hi,

(22:16):
will you play with me? Everybody was very kind and wonderful.
Jason Priestley was so sweet, and so was Luke Perry.
They were raised very well. They were so polite and kind.
But I knew Charles, so he had lunch with me,
and I also knew the location scout Diane Friedman from

(22:39):
San Francisco, so she came and had lunch with me.
So I didn't feel lonely. You had the royal treatment
did everywhere. And I remember going into her like, that
was my clothes that I wore. I said, I was
going to ask about the hat. The hat keeps surfacing
in many scenes. Was that yours? No, I don't think

(23:04):
they have. Probably wasn't mine, But I know what the
jacket was mine. I bought that in New York. It
was at anyway, But I said this, I feel like,
you know, I've done some indie films and I knew
what a A What was it? A D? And a
D looked like? So I said, this looks good, right
and they said yeah. And I said I don't probably

(23:25):
won't wear makeup and they said, oh, yeah, you don't
have to. And literally I went into hair and makeup.
They looked at me and said, you look fine. No,
you know how usually they make you up to look
like you don't have made yeah ethic, Wow, Well it
looked great. They must have been there. I got it
on lunch hour or something. I gotta say you're a
second guest star that has said that they had to

(23:46):
wear their own wardrobe. Interesting, right, John, But I think
that's common. I think that a lot of times when
you guest st are on a show or you're just
doing like a one day on a show, they say,
you want you to be comfortable. So if you have
you like a favorite pair of jeans or something, bring
them in with you. Yeah. Well, they didn't ask me
to bring other stuff in. They just okay, you know,
like on an indie film they say, can you bring

(24:06):
like a few things and we can take a look
at it, or can we She gets offended, an upset
that we asked people to come on the show and
then made them wear their own clothes. I love it, okay,
you know, fair enough, there's nothing more. Well, I'm not
like you, beautiful girls. I hate going into and trying

(24:27):
on a bunch of stuff. I just when they do
wardrobe fittings. Oh, I mean Jenny hates them too. Jenny
hates fittings. They like anything, just put them on me.
I'm like, no, you have to like it. Yeah I don't.
I don't understand. And they use they take pictures and

(24:49):
they use like maybe one out of the five hundred
things you've tried on, where are all those pictures that
they take of you in every single outfit? Wait, I'm
horrified because here's what happens. They for people that don't
know you, go to wardrobe fitting and they try on
like ten outfits of you. They'd polaroids. What was a
polaroid back then? Right? You in every outfit and then

(25:11):
they show those polaroids to the producers. Now it's like
on the ice, right, But there were stacks and stacks
and stacks of polaroids just on our show. Can you
imagine all the polaroids from all the shows? Where are
the Jennifer eve guards? If you are a genius, I
just came up. You just came up with the best.
It should be a photo book, like a book, coffee

(25:32):
table book. Yeah, with all Yes, that's your next project.
It was Jenny's idea. You heard it here. I'll steal it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna steal it. I know I'm gonna
do it with you. I don't steal your ideas. I
do it. I probably can always put in the front.
This is you know, uh, this was tory. This was

(25:53):
a Jenny's idea, but I'm doing it. But doing is
what's work. So I say, if I have an idea
and somebody else does it, I'm like, good, good, enjoy
run with that. Yeah, I'm too lazy. Well, we are
so glad that you joined us. And should we do

(26:14):
a little rapid fire game with Amy you guys? Yes,
we can. I ask you one more question, So the
children where Jason got water thrown in his face over
and over? How did you feel about that? Well? I
always feel bad about anything, even if it's not real.

(26:35):
I mean, you know, we're doing this for camera, but
I always feel bad. And he was such an he's
so sweet a trooper, he's a trooper. But I felt bad.
I always do. I kind of liked it. Give her
the game. The game. Here's a rapid fire you can

(26:56):
just answer first thing that comes to mind. Favorite care
on Beverly Hills nine two A no, And we have
no hard feelings here, so don't worry. Well, you know,
I'm kind of I love the boys, so I'm gonna say, uh,
Luke good one, Dylan good one? Ye? Yeah, Dylan. Remember
I can only remember one day either or their characters.

(27:18):
We did it for you. The next question was team
Dylan or team Brandon. So I'm assuming your team Dylan Dylan. Yeah,
I'm a loyal person. Yeah. Do you have a favorite
nineties nine O two and no fashion item or anything
you were during their nineties because it's all back in now,
you know? Now? Why did I throw anything away? I know, right?

(27:41):
Who knew? I think shoulder pads are great. I love
a shoulder pad. Who has shoulders like that? The young uns?
It's I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to interject here and
tell you and tell you all three shoulder pads were
the eighties though. Oh well, then you know I'm delayed.

(28:02):
I wore everything from the a's in the nineties. My daughter,
who's twenty, I remember when she was in high school
bott a member's only jacket for like sixty bucks at
a crypt store. I'm like, are you kidding me? Because
we wore them, right, that's so good for the days?

(28:23):
All right. The last question is more of a I
guess scenario. It's kiss Mary or kicked to the curb
out of all of the cast members on then two
and O, who would you kiss? Who would you marry?
And who were you just gonna say? But bye? Do
and in character, so you don't have to kick any
real actor to the curb. Well, I don't feel this

(28:45):
way now because she's gone through so much. Oh my god,
what's hers Shannon, Yeah, I feel horrible about her. But
in the day, Brenda would uh kick to the curb.

(29:06):
She was not fun. She was not a pleasant person
on the show. On the show, maybe in real life.
I don't know. I didn't work with her at all.
But now, oh my god, it breaks my heart. And Luke,
I would I guess I kiss him because he's so kissable.
And Jason i'd marry because he seemed very uh you know, stable,

(29:29):
he'd be good in a relationship. Luke, you don't. We
have a lot of that kiss Dylan, Mary, Jason and
Mary Brandon. Yeah. Right, seem like a marrying guy kissing
the bad boy. You marry the practical guy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Amy,
I want to ask you what okay, so magnum p I,

(29:51):

check that out? Well? We wrap at the beginning of March,
and I'm looking forward to possibly doing an independent film.
Of course, everything is Nda now, so I can't really
talk about it, but I'm really really excited. The cast
is super super cool, everybody I love, written by people

(30:14):
that I love. So I'm very very excited things. I'm
doing a lot of you know, over the pandemic. I
created my own studio. Uh, you know, like in the closet,
haven't you all? You all have studio at your voiceovers? Yeah,
for my voiceover. So I've been doing a lot of
animation and and then I did this new podcast. It's

(30:38):
a it's a fiction podcast where I'm an artificial intelligence.
Oh that's very cool. So it's like acting, but on
a podcast. Yes, like this is like a yeah, yeah,
Agent Stoker, look for it. It's very cool. I like that.

(30:58):
An amazing cast as well. So animation wise, what is
your favorite voice that you've ever done? I'm always an
old Chinese lady in various forms. Ka wait, do you
use like your normal voice or do you like no,
I mean, you know, does it your children ever watch

(31:19):
Kung Fu Panda on Amazon Prime. Yeah, I'm Grandma Panda.
Oh can you do a little bit for us like this?
And then I go oh oh, oh oh oh, And
I love it so much as a Chinese old Chinese lady. Yeah,

(31:40):
Oh my gosh, my four year old bow is gonna
be super excited. I'm playing now. Yeah. So I'm various
forms of that in different shows. Sometimes I'm a Japanese
old lady. Yeah. Sometimes whatever it's it's really fun. Animation
is on. I'm sure you guys know that. Yeah, I

(32:03):
haven't done very much animation, but the little that I've
done it was a lot of fun. Isn't it fun?
The people working in it are fun, The other cast
are fun, the engineers are fun. Everybody's fine. Jen. Remember
Iron had an animation series called Biker Mice from Mars
that he also produced and we were guest stars on it.

(32:24):
Do you remember that back in the day too, Biker
Mice from Mars. Yes, it's the best. Tell your agents
we're gonna call him right after. We're gonna call him.
And now you can do it in your closet. You
can do a lot of things in there. Well, Amy,

(32:44):
thank you so so much for joining us today. We
love reminiscing with you, and good luck on magnum p I. Yeah,
thank you. Continues to this big fans of yours, take care,
Thank thank you, Amy. Hell we love you buying you guys.

(33:05):
I really love it when we have guests on the show,
me too. Oh my gosh, she's adorable. I know. Do
you remember have you seen Cat in the Hat? I have,
and I didn't remember. Now I'm gonna have to go
back and watch it. You guys have to watch it,
especially with kids. You have little kids. That's when I
watched it over and over and over. But yeah, she
is the babysitter and she's hysterical. So I don't think

(33:29):
i've watched it since I had, like Bow, I feel
like he would be into it. Now. What's the age guy,
between Bow and your last tory? Uh? Four years? Oh?
I had to count my fingers. Sorry, hey you guys,

(33:55):
we are back. It is nine oh two one oh mg.
And fame is what sorry, fame is where you have it?
No famous, what you have it? What is fame? Famous
is where you find it. Yeah, if you're lucky and
then what So we talked about Brandon getting his fame,

(34:16):
but Brenda also kind of had her moment in the sun.
Yeah her peach. I love how they intertwined A and
B storylines that you know, Brandon finds fame and then Brenda,
who actually wants to be an actress, is jealous, but
then she finds her own way of bringing fame to
her real life into everybody at the peach Pit with Laverne,

(34:37):
that would go on to be one of the most
memorable characters ever. Yeah, she owned that she did a
great job with that character. Didn't we want to do
a flashback with her playing Laverne? I don't think it
ever happened, but we want it to. And b H
and L twanno right, I think so? Yeah, yeah, because
she was really a terrible waitress as Brenda, she needed

(35:01):
an alter ego. But it looks stressful being a waitress
at the peach Pit. Jeez. I wouldn't want to do
that either, No way. And Brandon just does it. It's
effortless when he does it, he's just yeah, he just slides. Yep,
that's right. I was pretty impressed watching it back when
Brenda was even talking about what she was going to

(35:23):
do as a waitress. She wanted to do like a
comedy act or do something else, and do like something
different too, because obviously being a waitress wasn't her strength,
so what could she do? And when she was doing
all the voices, all the dialects, I was like, oh,
my gosh, like I like she was British and then
she was like from New Jersey and then she was
like a valley girl. I don't know. It was really

(35:45):
watching that back, I was like, oh my god, that
was cool. She's that hard to do for you guys.
Can you guys do accents? I can't do accents, Jen,
It's hard. I can't even do like a British accent.
You've done one, like like legit got paid for one? Yeah,
not just like in the bathroom. Uh yeah. I did

(36:08):
a movie where I was playing an Irish lasse once
and okay, you know we're gonna ask you. Oh no, no, no,
I can't do it. You have to go up at
the end of every sentence. When you're Irish, when you
have to ask a question and everything ends in the
top of the you have to go up at the end.
Today you have to think about Apricorn and just do that.

(36:30):
How would say? Uh, we say how are you? How
are you? Are you? How are you? It's very Irish,
very you know, it's my blend. It's my own personal
sort of Irish. Uh, Mike, I have a girlfriend that's

(36:51):
from you know, or Dana. She's from Canada, but sometimes
she sounds like she's from Ireland, kissing your rights. Who
knows who. I will never ever get hired to do
an accent because I cannot do accents like it's you
could do it, you just you have to study, you know.
I can't go to a dialect coach and they teach

(37:13):
you and they train you how to do it and
then you do it. Oh, you're right. If I had
that maybe, but like remember I'm mister girls, I had
to do a Southern accent. I couldn't do it, and
it was like bad, like anyone like most people can do,
like you know, from the South. I couldn't do it.
And then actually, it's gonna give us a little South. Now,
give us a little Southern accent. Now, okay, give me
something to say. You know, I can't do it, but

(37:33):
I'll show you how bad I can do it. Give
me something to say, uh, say, say the biscuits are
coming out of the oven. That's a good one. The
biscuits are coming out of the oven. Oh no, it's
pretty good. It was why did you not move your mouth? Though?

(37:55):
I was frozen in fear, and I was like, oh,
just something came out so here's the thing. We will
get to it eventually, but there is. It's in later seasons.
There's an episode where we filmed a reality show and
it was supposed to be like a real world. It's
in the beach apartment and I had to play I
had to have a British accent, and apparently I did

(38:16):
it so bad that on the Internet they panned me
on the Internet like that was so awful, and I
got so horrified afterwards that I was like, I'm never
doing an accent again. So most of it comes from
that fear. So thanks Internet Rolls, you know who you are.
But Brenda's Laverne is probably one of my favorite memories

(38:37):
from the series, really yes, because it just brought back
so many members of like watching it, I was like,
where'd she get that get up? That was a complete,
like outfit? She just pulled that out of Cindy's closet.
Where to come from? Like, I would love to know
if Shannon. I don't even remember if she weighed in
on the character and how she'd be styled and all

(38:59):
of that, because it was so specific and so brilliant
and I don't even remember to ask. It seems like
something that she had some saying because she did it
with such a passion, you know, she really went for it,
so she must have felt like it was good. It
was so good. Did Laverne ever come back after this episode?

(39:20):
I don't think so. Mmm, she should have. M How
did we end up dancing with her behind the counter though?
I don't what's going on in that restaurant? I don't know,
but it was fun. I found Remember I told you
I had found the sound track of all the nine
O Twine music. Uh huh. There was also a soundtrack

(39:41):
of It's My Party, because I guess they had sent
it to us each with a cassette so we could
listen to it so we could lip sing to it
and dance. And that actually still made it into the
show on like I was watching on Amazon Prime. So
it wasn't dubbed over with something random that would have
been weird. If it would have been very weird. It
dubbed over a different song, Yeah, that could have been.

(40:01):
They probably had to use that one and pay for
it because we were lip syncing, right, So Tori on
the internet it says Kelly and Donna is dancing too.
It's My Party was choreographed by Tori Spelling. So interestingly enough,
I remember everything. Usually I do not remember that. I
don't remember that. I'm gonna say it was probably you,

(40:21):
because just recently we had to do something where we
were dancing on a stage and you kind of came
up with the moves. Do you remember didn't you come
up with the moves on bh N I two and
I when we had to do that Robert Palmer thing. No,
I mean yes and no, But it was kind of

(40:42):
we were mimicking what we did in the original one,
which was so I remember that one, but this one
I probably did. Probably I used to. I used to
choreograph in when I did go to high school dance
routines for pe when we'd have to do like hula
hoop where you'd have to do like with a handball

(41:03):
and do things, but also do a routine you have
to teach people. I used to make those up. Just
a little dancer. You missed your calling. Could have been
a choreographer, famous choreographer. Would I have been a billionaire
traveled the world. It would have traveled traveled the world,

(41:25):
maybe like Katy Perry or something or like. That would
have been a nice life. The fashion in this episode
was well between LaVerne's outfit and Brandon's. I guess what
would you call him? A punk kid outfit? I like
graffiti sweatshirt or a pirate but like his like graffiti

(41:49):
sweatshirt would be totally in now. Yeah, I liked it.
I liked Kelly's sheer sleeves on her denim jacket with
the daisies. I felt like that was not a Kelly
jacket though. I feel like that was a Donna piece
and for some reason to put it on Kelly toats Yeah,
that was a Donna. I feel like Donna had only

(42:11):
at this point had one daisy outfit. It was the
previous episode, so maybe at this point it wasn't established
to be her thing, so it was kind of a
trade off, and then later it became a thing. But
I for her with that? Is it me you guys?
Or did you think the character Lydia leads the actress.
I'm going to go on record and guess that she
might have auditioned for the part of Andrea. Similar vibes, Yeah,

(42:35):
a little bit right, And then they were like when
it came to this character, they were like, oh, we
had this great actress. You know they always used people again,
maybe I don't know, could have been I think she
would she did a great job, though I believed she did.
She looked nice in her blue spandex. Would you guys
think of Brandon's green shirt with the was it sunflowers?

(42:56):
On his time? He was wearing sunflowers? What they didn't
get the memo? Same thing to him? Bitch stole my luck?
What why we were stealing? Motherfucking show? But spelling? Imagine
nobody sent that memough guess not. I don't know. Maybe
they send it to Jessica album by mistake? What was

(43:21):
your favorite? That was a shameless callback? Oh? I have two.
I mean, I loved the Brandon line that he used
on camera on his show on Keep It Together, which is, hey, babe,
looking real good babe. But I also like, I hope
I didn't come off as rank amateur today I wrote

(43:42):
that down too, rank amateur? What R does that mean?
What does that mean? I hope I didn't come off
as a rank amateur, which means I guess it means
like a a bad amateur, I guess. But like, what's
the word that's in now dank? And that's a good thing.
It's considered. Yeah, dank is bad though, so it would

(44:02):
be like scabby both Wratchet Ratchett, Wratchet Ratchet and I
love when he's like, I've been told I'm a good kisser,
of course, because we talk about his kissing all the time.
So he talked about mine. Mine is actually a question
for you guys. It was from Lydia and she said

(44:27):
it's hard to be who you are when you're always
pretending to be somebody else, And then really got me
thinking of what it's like to be an actor and
if you felt any truth to that in real life.
Uh yeah, especially starting to act so young as he did. Yeah,

(44:47):
I didn't have any idea who I was until I
was forty, so it was a little bit of a
gap there. I feel the exact same way, and I
feel like, yeah, it was like late thirties forty, and
then I'm still I still go back to being like, oh,
it's what they want to be, Like, I still waiver

(45:07):
in between like speaker truth to being like oh everyone
expects me to be happy and on and fine. It's
still my waiver going back and forth. It's hard. It's
like a lifetime of being taught to be someone else,
Like how do you go back to being you? And
I don't think it's just specific to like us or
what we did for a limit, Like I think anybody

(45:28):
probably feels that way, Like, you know, you walk that
line of being you want to be what everybody wants
you to be, but at the same time, maybe you
don't feel like being that right now, or maybe that
doesn't actually suit you, but you've kind of gotten pigeonholed
or in that, you know. I think I think a
lot of people can relate to that. Is it difficult acting?

(45:52):
So you did? You played Donna and Kelly for ten years?
Is it difficult to then move on from that role
and start in different roles? Not for us, but I
feel like it's hard for other people to accept you
being so honest. That's yeah, that's interesting. I mean Jen
went on to do something that many actors never do,

(46:13):
which is have another hit television show playing a different
character after she already had a huge television show with
what I Like about You, Like, that's very uncommon, Like
that was amazing. I think enough time had passed because
I kind of kind of like hid hid for a
few years after the show ended, and I was making

(46:35):
babies or raising babies, I don't know, and I took
some time off, and yeah, I mean I think and
think you have to be careful with that as an actor,
what choices you make. And I mean, you know what
I think about sometimes too, is like with the Internet,
with like you know, social media, Instagram, everything, actors are

(46:57):
so exposed now, so like their everyday life is like
there for everyone to see, Oh, look what I need
for breakfast. Like think, you know, like they see in behind,
they see the real person. So I think that limits
you in a way because then the audience doesn't really

(47:19):
buy you as a different character. You know, when you
go do another project, it's hard to kind of shed
their image of you because it's so in their face
and so it's in their hands, you know, they're like
watching it. M Like, on one hand, you know, you
you're told in society like you're you want to stay relevant.
But on the other hand, sometimes there's like, oh, she's great,

(47:42):
she's so relevant, but then you go to get cast
in another part and they're like, oh, she's too relevant
basically right, Like I remember, like for Pilots last year,
my manager I was like, any auditions and He was like,
I keep coming up against people are like she she's great,
She's just too tory, And I was like, I'm too tory.

(48:04):
I could be somewhere else. I could be. Let me
the audition for it, like whoever you want me to be,
I can do it. I can be taller, I can
be shorter. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, that's one thing I
can't stop being. I am who I am. So Yeah,
it's it's hard sometimes, Yeah, because you've made a choice
and like so many other people, to show your real

(48:25):
life and be so forthcoming and open with people. And
I think that makes you not it doesn't make you
what did you say the word was relevant? Relevant? Sorry? Yeah,
it doesn't make you relevant. It makes you relatable to
so many people. And maybe that's you know, I think
that's worth a whole different appreciation and value there, that

(48:48):
you're so relatable to so many people. But I don't
know about the relevant thing. I think you're only as
relevant as your last job. Well, but people again, that
used to be the case in Hollywood, and we would
always people would always say that. But like you just said,
nowadays you see everything on social media, You see everything online,
so you're more than just relevant from your last job.

(49:09):
It's like whatever you see weekly because people that haven't
worked in years are still relevant right nowadays, because it's different. Before,
if you were an actor, you only got seen when
you were in movies or on a television's show. Now
you can get seen daily if you have an Instagram. So,
I don't know. Did we answer your question? Yeah, you did.

(49:31):
Speaking of questions, we have two more from actual people,
not just me from some listeners. This is from Courtney.
She's saying Jenny was lucky enough to have many kissing
scenes with both Jason and Luke. Was there ever a
time where the kissing scene was supposed to end and
you actually just kept on going. Wouldn't that be fun? No?

(49:57):
I don't think so. I think kissing scenes are so
uncomfortable and awkward usually, I mean for me personally, I
don't think that ever happened where we were just kept
making out in front of the whole crew and wasting
everyone's time. I don't think so. How about Okay, sure,
did you ever keep making out with David Brian? No,

(50:20):
because you didn't want to be that one because when
they yelled cut like you quickly stopped and like backed
away like, yeah, like I didn't like it. Yeah, it
was the next scene because you didn't want them just
too into it. Yeah, I was just acting. Yeah, that's
too of this question. I could never be an actor.
I would just be it's too emotional for me. Like
if I'm having to make out with somebody, you would

(50:43):
be you would be you would be really in love
with them, right, oh best distantly, Yes, it would be
cheating on my husband for me, like, there's no way
I love. It messes with your head, That's what it does,
because instinctually, you you do your body, your brain like
starts stirring up these feelings of like a connection with

(51:04):
this person, and the truth is there is no connection.
Most of the time. They're going to lunch in a minute,
or they they're got to go home to their wife
and kids, Like there's no there's no relationship there. So
it really does mess with your head on a crazy level.
That's true. That's fascinating. There's more to this question from Courtney.

(51:24):
She says, any memories of one of them forgetting to
use mouthwash before a scene and they had an unbearable
kiss due to brad bad breath. I like Brad Brad breath,
Brad Breath. Okay, So no, not that I can specifically recall.
I do know that Jason back then was a smoker,

(51:47):
so that was something we had to kind of deal with. Yeah,
I wasn't a smoker, and uh I didn't love that.
I wouldn't love kissing a smoker because you know, you
can kind of it's like always there and taste it.
But he did his best with you know, the banocka
makeup always on top of it when makeup comes in

(52:08):
for your touch up and final looks. If you have
a kissing scene, they usually always are like do you
want to mentor you want to spray listerine strips? Something?
They're always offering something typically true. I had one time
I had to kiss somebody. I won't say his name,
but I had to kiss him on a movie and

(52:29):
definitely definitely not gonna say his name, but he had
like white in the corners of his mouth. Well have
you ever seen that, like when you when somebody's talking
a lot and then they get white. Oh my god,
that makes me want to puke. Jenny Barf, Okay, that's
seeing me out. I had. I had a kiss and
it keeps separating the white like a passion mouth. I
said to my makeup, I'm like, I can't, I don't,

(52:51):
I can't do it. I can't, I can't do that,
or like fix him. And so that's what they would do.
They would come in after every take and his mouth
nchalantly wipe his mouth down, like the corners of his
mouth with a little alcohol sponge, a sponge alcohol on
it was he You don't have to say who it is,
but was he good looking at least? Oh? Yeah, okay,

(53:12):
so that makes a little bit better because this is
like so okay, I'm gonna text you afterwards and you're
gonna tell me who this is. Well, I want to
know too. I promise I won't tell. Fine, we'll have
a three way text. Promise you won't tell, Like how
you didn't tell us you were pregnant whatever. Cis just
like that. See you know, now you know I can
keep a secret. All right? Another question before we wrap.

(53:35):
If you went to school with any of the Beverly
Hills Manituano characters, which one would you be friends with?
You can't say each other? Oh, well, because that's too easy.
I'd go for Andrea because then I could get my
homework done by her sheet off of her. She's smart.
So wait, we can't say like our own characters and

(53:58):
we can't say the other person's care. Sure you can't. No,
I added that part because I figured it's too easy.
That's a part of the question. No, you just embellished it.
Just make you have her own rules. Okay. To Jennifer's question,
I guess then I would probably pick Brenda if I
couldn't pick Kelly, and I can't pick Donna, Like, that's

(54:19):
someone I would at least be in my wheelhouse to
be friends with because we had a lot in common.
I guess. You know, she wanted to be an actor,
and she was into fashion and boys and yeah, it
was dramatic, emotional, typical girl. I picked Brenda. Choice. Good choice.
Well that's it for another exciting episode. You guys, bang,

(54:41):
