Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
How do I look? So are we rolling? Don't lie?
Are we rolling? They're very mean to me, are they? Yeah? Well,
when you're the the idea guy, you know what I mean,
everybody gets kind of creepy about that.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
They get they get overwhelmed, right.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Who's wrong? And I just have to go sometimes, you know,
Oh yeah, and you can tell me something. It's like
g I Joe time, you can move the thing and
am I Okay? Do you see my makeup? Fifty seven?

(00:44):
Do I call you missus? Mitchell? Just bev yo bevv Okay.
So we're starting there, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Adults, great badlis it's so bad. Guilty suns so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
It's one bad books. Welcome to one bad movie, Steve Baldwin,
Here your creatively founding host with the lovely Beverly Mitchell.
So I gotta do this. This is a great enclave here.
Where are you from?

Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm born and raised here. I was actually born in Arcadia, California.
I am one of those unicorns, born raised. I've lived
here my whole life.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
And that was how many brothers and sisters mom? Dad?
Where they were? I'm curious no brothers and sisters.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm an only child.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
All, yeah, I'm the youngest of six God bless you.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, I am an only child.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
So yeah, obviously when I got Seventh Heaven, I like
adopted all of my sibling.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
We have to just do another episode after this about
her being an only child.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Just I mean, it is, it's a thing.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, there's so much I want to know.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
And apparently, yeah, apparently I didn't realize, like how really
I am an only child? Like apparently I check all
the boxes for only children and I was unaware of
that until all of my Seventh Heaven siblings have told me.
Oh yeah, no, that totally makes sense because and they
always knew this about me and they're just now sharing it.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
So hold on a second. So you're a unicorn, I am.
You're a Cali unicorn.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm a Southern Cali unicorn.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So what is that? Does that have any kind of
like a dialect with an accent? Is that something?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Are you more hillbilly?

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Because no, it just means that I've literally only lived
in southern California my whole entire life.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
So I am literally like, la, baby, do you know California?
You know what?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
To be honest, I think I probably haven't seen nearly
as much as other people who come to visit because
I live.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Here, right so, but born here, yep started acting at.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Four, I was discovered in a shopping mouth throwing a
temper tantrum for what. I was hungry, and I was
with my aunt who didn't understand that, like you need
to feed children, and I needed to make it known
that I was hungry. And so I was at the
food court at the Sherman Oaks Galeria and I threw

(03:24):
myself on the floor started screaming and yelling until I
got my corn dog. And basically, Corey Feldman's mom was
a manager at the time, and she thought I was
cute and said I should be.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
In the business and was there randomly and that's how
I got my start.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, and that was so then what was the first gig?

Speaker 4 (03:45):
My first gig was an AT and T commercial, and
then it was quickly followed up by another commercial, and
then a year later I got my first Oscar Meyer commercial.
And that's what kind of sent me off to the
races because I was the Oscar Meyer girl. But I
didn't sing the Oscar Meyer song. I did the complaint

(04:06):
to the bakery man. So it's literally like I was
this little pip squeak And it was back in the
day and age when like they would hire like.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Five kids at a time to do the same commercial.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
So we would all do this and actually I think
they had us doing like four to five commercials and
it was days of And was that.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
The situation with the oskar Meyer commercial. Yeah, many other
kids doing versions of the commercial, but yours broke out.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, because they don't know who's going to like show
up as a kid, They don't know who's going to
show up that day and actually like be able to perform,
So they would hire multiple kids and they had it
all set.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Up and then we would all kind of do it to.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Get what they wanted.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And you didn't know who's they were going to use,
but then they used mine.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Did you throw yourself on the floor and screen.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
For a card?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
But you know what's crazy about that, You know, being
a small kid, and my mom was always like, you know,
you have to eat everything that you're given, So I
didn't understand. And when you're doing a food commercial that
like there is a point in time where they give
you a spit bucket and you should use said spit
bucket and I was four and a five. Yeah, and

(05:11):
I literally ate so many hot dogs. I didn't eat
hot dogs for like twelve years later, like I because
I couldn't ever see another hot.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Dog at five. You didn't know the old spit, But
I didn't know the.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Trick because I also thought it was a trick. They're like,
you can spit, and I'm like, I'm not falling for it,
like I thought it was a trick. Like I, if
I did spit, I was gonna get in trouble.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I just didn't. And I ate a lot of
hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's a lot of hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
That's and your kids have seen that, No, no, why
I have my kids like don't really aren't really interested
in what I do.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I haven't really showed them much of anything.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
They think that the best part of mommy working is
the adventures they get to do a daddy while mommy works.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
And that's likely.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Relate simply because I made a bunch of movies. My
family's been to three premieres in thirty five years. I
kept my kids out of the business completely, and lo
and behold, one of them's a mom and you know,
a model, and the other ones now running a company. Yeah,
you know what I mean, And so they're going to

(06:21):
do what they're going to do, absolutely, But I agree
with that wisdom personally, you know what I mean. So
I just don't think a kid gets to be a
kid in that environment. Yeah, and I'm not just saying this.
You've turned out quite well, you know. I think that
has to do with a lot of you know, good
raising and you know your parents and you know discipline,
and then seventh, Heaven, you know, once you get to
that level of success and popularity and awareness young, it

(06:47):
just makes it harder. I mean, we see the outcomes
and the percentages of the outcomes and who survives and
who stays in the business and it so kudos to you, Peal, well,
thank you. Now you're a mom.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
On top of all of that, we all joke that
we were so blessed that Heaven was popular, but we
never hit that crescendo where all of a sudden people
were like chasing us down streets.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
So we were always able to kind of.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Live our but we were able to live our lives
like we were, and we were back in the day
and age where like there wasn't social media. The Don
Johnson yeah, so we've been able to like kind of
I went to my regular high school, I graduated with
my friends. I nobody treated me differently just because what

(07:30):
I did. So and I've really instilled that in the kids.
Is like, our kids go places and meet people, but
they have no clue who they are, not a clue like,
if anything, they don't think people are special at all.
They're just like, well, that's just like so and so's
mom or dad. Like they don't they could care less.
And we've been really good about protecting them in that

(07:53):
because kids just need to be kids. And this whole
idea of fame is just completely overrated in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know, it's fleeting, you know, in common sense logic,
but in this town, in this industry, yeah, all of
that kind of nonsense you know is relevant. Yeah, you know,
if you're inside the bubble of that existence.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know it is.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
And I think the big thing that I've always tried
to do is I've never gotten too focused on that.
And my focus has always been put your head down,
do the work, and let your work ethic show up.
And I definitely believe that sometimes the squeaky wheels get
the oil and there's a lot of people who've like,
you know, their careers launched. And my big thing with

(08:38):
Seventh Heaven was I was so grateful for the experience
that I was going to write it and my loyalty
was to the end. I could have gone off and
done other things, but like I knew that how I
work and where my heart was is loyalty and being
a part of something and being grateful for what launched me.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
And what's cool about that too, is it's like a
title and an experience in your you know, filmography career,
all that good stuff that's positive. Yes, you know, so
talk about what's coming if you can. Can you talk
about all that?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, Well, we've got podcasts to kind of revisit and
relive that whole experience. What's fun catching up with the
Camdens we had for me and David Gallagher and Mackenzie Rossman,
and it's just going to be about us reliving the
memories and having fun and kind of catching up with us.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Now because now we're all parents.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
You know, we were the Camden kids and now we
have kids, and we have no clue what we're doing,
but we're trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
But there's also kind of a way to reintroduce the
show to a whole new.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Generation, which is absolutely very cool and it is crazy
that people are finding it.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
We just did a.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Convention and we were just blown away by the response
and how many Yeah we did Nineties comes.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Close parents get to tell and it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
It was so fun and it was there's a whole
other level when you see how much of an impact
it's made on people's lives, and I think that's what's
the greatest thing of us being actor and whether it's
something that we might have found embarrassing at one point
of our career, like the nineties really screwed a lot
of us. I think what I loved about the nineties too,

(10:11):
is that it was simpler times, the stories were organic
and they resonated. And I feel like right now everything
has just gotten so heavy and there's so much I.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Want to talk about that. Yeah, I want to talk
about why the nineties was cool because we lived making
stuff in that in that decade. But it was fun.
It was still business and work.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I mean, I loved auditioning, right, I loved the.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
The camaraderie we have in the waiting room, right when
you know that we would literally you would you would
know everyone in the waiting room.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Kind of most people into typically.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Going if you're going for my age, Like.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
I knew that it might be like Jodie Sweeten, and
it might be like Christine Lake, and it might be
like I like it, or Scarlett Johansson. Like there were
so many times where like we would all see each
other over and over again for the same type of auditions.
And I do remember I was very grateful my mom
said when I was really young and I didn't get

(11:19):
a part that I was really excited about, and she
just always said, your turn will come.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
And I always remember being.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Like, oh, okay, so it's their turn, Okay, cool, next
time it'll be mine, And so had to wait. But
like I was always happy for my friends because they
were my friends. I was excited when they got the job.
I mean, yeah, is there a little bit of are
you a little bummed? Maybe a little bit, But at
the same time, like back in the day, we're like

(11:47):
those waiting rooms.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I loved going into castings.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
I loved being able to like mess with someone on
the other side of the camera and like, you know,
not just go in and be repetitious and just do
the lines, but like have a conversation and be able
to like talk.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
That was what acting was fun for me.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Was actually was the I mean, one of my commercials
I got because I was waiting in the room for
four hours, waiting room for four hours, and when I
finally got into the room, I went to the producers
and I.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Was like, enough, already, you haven't found anyone, Like what
is wrong?

Speaker 4 (12:22):
I booked the commercial, but it was like those type
of experiences that were so fun. And these days when
I and I've met plenty of actors and I've talked
to them, and I what I see is wrong is
they're so used to doing all their scenes in a mirror,

(12:43):
and they're so used to working with no human they're
working with just the camera. The spontaneity they've lost, and
they've lost the ability to pivot because the best part
about being on set is you don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
What's coming, right, So that's the process.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
It's so fun to be able to act off of people.
I don't want to act off a wall, Like that's
not fun. Like I love switching it up, changing it up,
like I love throwing curveballs. Like if you I'm not
going to do the same take every time because that's
not really exciting and that's not creative. But you definitely
see this new generation of talent coming in, and when

(13:21):
you do these movies, there's often times where you're.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Like, did you see what I just gave you?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Because that is not the response that should come from
that stimulus, right, And I feel like that's where in
the nineties we all were able to we played that racketball,
we were able to like lob the balls back.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, the acting, it seems, was different then.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know, listen, you have a lot of big movies now,
a lot of big TV shows, a lot of special effects. Yeah,
acting to special effects.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean, I don't want to be rude, but I
could pick four different actors from Dune and say, do
something on a stage and forgive me, but I'm pretty
sure they couldn't connect to it. Yeah, just you can
just see by the way they act on film. Yeah,
that's just an opinion, just an opinion. So I think

(14:12):
that's what other projects other than Seventh Heaven in that vibe.
What's the most fun you've had other than Seventh Heaven?

Speaker 4 (14:19):
You know what, we had a lot of fun doing
Saw too, we did I mean just I mean we
want to jump from one genre straight to the next.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Let's just you know, you get hacked up or did
you do that?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Sadly?

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I had the lamest death of all why Like it
was the lamest death because everyone else like died by
like lethal injection, they like burned in the crematorium, or
they like had like their heads like.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Blown off, and like I died by gas and I
just went.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Part of me was thinking, like, oh, this can be
like creative, where like I can come back because I
like didn't really die and they thought I died the
relater I mean, and we're on Saw three hundred in
forty two and I haven't come back yet.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
So I don't know what why David in your is
he in that?

Speaker 3 (15:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
No franchise, that's scream okay?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
And what's funny isn't I don't actually watch horror movies.
I hate them, but they're fun to be in.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
But wait, I want to talk more about your death
by gas?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
It was just boring?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
No, but like what did the director do you?

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Like?

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Did you do like a couple of quivers?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
And yeah, I had to do that, And then I
had to just like bleed out basically, so it was
like leed out well, like from my mouth.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, but it wasn't like so you got gas and
like blood care Yeah, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Like exciting your tongue hang out. I don't think I
did that. And at the end of you didn't like no,
I didn't do that.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
I think I also was face down, so it wasn't
like you really got to see everything. But it was
What was fun about that though, the experience was we
were up in Canada and we were shooting in order, so.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
We were actually why in order.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
That's weird because it was amazing for us to kind
of experience the build up and.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
The horror of like literally the productions producers director's choice,
so they did all that costs more money.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
All of this stuff in the house was in order,
and so we actually what was great though, is like
we always knew exactly where we were right before and
the scene, so it.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Was an actor, you had your horror in order, yes,
which is great.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
It is great because also when I'm so my voice
is like so gone from screaming so much, it like
follows suit with the rest of the scene because I
just lost my voice from screaming so much. So it
was it was actually but it was so fun because
we would go back to the hotel and like, I
don't know why, I found it completely entertaining.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
To just leave with the blood all over my face
and like just go to the bar like I would,
like the hotel, yeah, because normally everyone.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Like cleans up and like before you like you take
your makeup off before you leave. But like I just
loved just going to like the bar in Toronto, and
I would just like be like, you have no idea
what my day has been like. And then finally I
think the bar actually said can you stop? But I

(17:20):
found it entertaining and I found it a great like
talking point.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
So, I mean, I've heard of a bloody Mary, but
I like it was a blood brings a whole bloody,
bloody beverly bad.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Looking back, I probably there was probably something in a
clause of a contract saying that you're not supposed to
do that.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
But whatever I did it.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
If they didn't have somebody clean and makeup.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
For you at the end of the day, it was
that was also so fun is because also you don't
have to worry about like it was not a beauty movie.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
It was a movie where like it looked like absolute
crap and it was like, oh, make me.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Look worse, and it was it's just so much getting
around it.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, I love No, I loved it. I embraced it fully.
I was like, oh, like, let's really like.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Makes a kid. Were you like when you went and
did Halloween? Did you wear like princess outfits or like
bloody outfits? You know what?

Speaker 4 (18:13):
I didn't really do Halloween them. I wasn't really har
But I think that the part of the reason why
was I was working so much and so like I
and with even even these days. I laughed because I like,
putting on makeup is like a It's a chore and
I would much rather not do it.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
But I did put a little makeup on for you
to come here.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
But I think it's I think it's because I'm my
whole life, I've been made up for work or I
have to be on that like when I'm not on,
I'm really off.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm growing my hair out right now. I like it
way down.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I'm gonna grow it to my should Oh my gosh,
you should see my son's hair. It's all the way
to his butt.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, speaking of your son, uh huh, I have like
a mind blowing sege right now. Okay, I'm ready for it,
so watch us. Okay, you're not ready for it.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'm not okay.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Your daughter you posted on your social media about a rainbow, right,
Oh yes, I put that on my stories. So adorable.
And there's a huge rainbow in nature and her daughter's
standing there and she says, I want to slide down
the rainbow. Where I wish I could slide down the rainbow,

(19:29):
and I'm like back to the nineties and the fun
we had, Like that's what's missing. We're missing in this world.
That childlike gee, like I as adults, Oh wow, what
a beautiful rainbow. Her daughter walks them and goes, I
wish I gut.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
With her two different with her two different shoes.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
That's l That was so awesome, you know it.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
And honestly, that was also a great day for me
where I was like trying to control everything. I was
trying to like, you know, I thought everything had to
be structured, and I took a break because we had
seen the rainbow and I wanted to see it better.
And I took her out there and normally I wouldn't
let her play in the rain because I was like,
you're gonna get sick.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then finally I was like whatever go and it
was the moment.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Also, I think that life has gotten so busy, and
so we're trying to hit all of these goals whatever.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't even I think we're.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Supposed to call them goals, but I don't know really
what they are because the reality is I don't think
that they stand up the way they're supposed to do,
and we're missing out on life.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Right and the ninth miss sliding down the rain.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
And in nineties we were like embracing life.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
We were like, you know, we also had drugs that
made it feel like we were sliding, but that's different.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I didn't. I was the most boring. Well some people
call me bossy and like wound up too tight, but
I was the girl that was like never like but
I wasn't interested sneak out.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Of the house. No, never smoked weed.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
No.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
My mom actually, my mom one time tried to give
me a curfew and I was like, Okay, I'll just
spend the night at my friend's house. I'm not doing that,
and she's like, well, you have to have a curfew.
I'm like, Mom, I have a full time job. I'm fine,
but I was. But I was also incredibly responsible. I
was the one and the reason why I refused to
take the curfew was because I was the one that

(21:28):
was going and picking up my friends who were drunk.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
And I said, I will not take your curfew because
I'm the one that's.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Type is designated driver. You were just that perfect.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, Mama, I've been a Mama bear since I was
like five years old. That's by the way.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
I've also found out a lot of people who didn't
want me to be their Mama bear. Matt and David
they're like, yeah, you were really bossy, but we just
accepted it.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
So I did something crazy. Okay, what because I'm a
little different than most.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Folks, so am I.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
So you do charitable work, right? Uh? Do you work
with other charities or do you have your own five
oh one?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Don't believe I have my own five oh right?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
So there's no Beverly Mitchell. She went and started a
corporation to charity corporation and called it this. But you
can do that now on legal zoom. It's easy. Yeah,
I'll tell you about that later. Okay, but the point is, uh,
and my wife and kids could hear this, they would
scream laughing. So I collect ur ls, So I'll go
to the go daddy, and I buy them just because

(22:35):
now you can sell them, and I'll take the stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Or do I've had that bought it?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I searched rainbow slides, did you buy it? And it
was not available as a dot com somebody else rainbowslides
dot com was not available, but dot org was was.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
So you can bring suns, I got it. You can
bring sunshine and joy on the rainbow slide.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
So in the appropriate timing, if you ever start your
own charity and you want to call it your URL,
I already have the daughter.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, perfect, deal.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
On it too. I think that story's fabulous. And I
think if you ever want to just do a thing
where and that listen, your rainbow slides dot org could
just be a page where you point people to other
charities stuff like that. But I couldn't believe rainbowslides dot
org was available.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
How old your daughter that did the whole video?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
She's three and a half.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, so she won't understand the dot org.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
No, you know the funniest thing about a door. The
third I feel like the third child is she's my
firal one. She's the one who just is like she
will take this world by storm. There is absolutely we're
oh yeah, nothing in her way. Love it absolutely like
she is the boss baby for sure. And also I
don't understand this whole sibling thing, so like I'm constantly

(24:01):
as a parent like struggling being like.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Why won't you just freaking be nice? And my husband's like,
because they're siblings, and I'm.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Like, stop yelling at each other, stop houlding each other's hair.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Why are you doing this? And it's something I struggle
with on the daily because I just don't understand. I
don't understand a cracking.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Up it literally like, but here's what's funny. How old
are your kids? How'd you old? You're oldest?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Eleven? I have an eleven nine and so.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Right around fourteen fifty, don't scare me is when you're
gonna get what do you know? You're an only child?

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Wait that comes and you go like, well, I'm gonna say,
I don't know, but I know that this is not
how it's gonna go down. I'm also not the fun
parent I'm no, I'm like not even remotely close to
being fun, and I know that that's my role.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Like I'm like bevererly Mitchell knows how to have fun,
but when it comes to.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
It's funny, I don't even know how if I really
know how to have fun. I mean, I have my
versions of fun, but I think like if you talk
to half of my friends, they'd be like, like, I
think organizing is fun.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
So white water rafting with your kids not fun.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
No, white water rafting, that's like adventure and crazy. But
then again, like you know, I do.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
So here's the funny thing is like I do all
of these things that I don't enjoy, Like I'm not
necessarily athletic.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
I don't really like to do that. But then for work,
I'll go do stupid things like jump off cliffs or
fall out of helicopters and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Golf.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
But like, but if it's a work job, I think
this is all golf.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
No.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
But this is also what I think is interesting about
actors too, is like you call us to do something
for a job and we're like, yeah, we got this,
Like I can.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Do it, Like of course I can.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's a focus and special Forces.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Of course, yes, I absolutely can't. And then that was great,
and then my husband's like, hey, you know, why don't
we go golf.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Let's say golf. He won't ask me because he knows
that that's a bad move on his part.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
But you could drive the cart.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
I don't think he wants me in the cart and
not I mean no, actually yeah, because I'm just yeah,
I I'm sounding really boring right now.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
No, it's boring.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
This is not a good hard sell.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
No no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
You sound like somebody at a pinnacle in their existence
who's kind of just laying down the efficiency of her
existence is what it sounds like to me.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
You know, I just think that I no longer want
to show up for anyone for them. I want to
show up, however, for myself.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So going around, buddy, Yeah, yeah, I'm fifty seven, and
you know, even my like, I'm the youngest of six kids.
So my sister Beth is, what's best, sixty seven, she's
eleven years Alex eleven years older than that.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You better get this right, because you do not mess
with thee This is why I'm the youngest.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Okay, because I don't know this crap Okay, this is
why I'm saving.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
We'll just say that she's just a few years older
and she's lovely and perfect.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, she is.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, and now she and I are almost besties oldest youngest.
That's amazing, which is weird, but that's only because where
I've gravitated towards is where she's now. Both of us
are kind of more like, well, we have to focus
on ourselves and you can't give what you don't have,
and you know, we have to have peace and I'm
not available that, you know, just you got to chill out.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
It's also nice.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
It's nice when you have relationships with people where you
can just be, you can be in that place in life,
like I love that, Like about Jesse and Jesse Beale,
who was on Seventh Heaven with me, we used to
butt heads because we were very close in age, and
we used to like we were two completely opposites, and
so we used to just battle, Like I used to
think she was so unprofessional and ridiculous and she used

(28:02):
to piss me off so much, only to realize it
was just because like I had this version in my
head that everything had to be done.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Which apparently wasn't on par with everyone else's version.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
And now it's funny because like all of that has switched,
Like we're so we're the best of friends, and we've
like found that common ground in the fact that we
are so different, and like we accept and love that
about each other.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
She's the closest thing I have to a sister.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
So that's where I can equate like that type of
relationship because not only was I an only child, I
was growing up on sets, so I wasn't around a
lot of kids, to be honest, I was around a
lot of adults, and so I always would gravitate towards.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
My friendships with adults than I would with my peers.
I founder my peers. Like a little intimidating question for you.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Talking about Jesse when you guys were in seventh seven together,
it seemed like she was a little uncomfortable with the
type casting, so she tried different roles. But you seem
pretty comfortable. And the only thing I could think of
from your career is SAW two, which you did at
the time, right, Was that like trying to.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Break out of it or not?

Speaker 4 (29:08):
I mean, if you want to be all honest, one,
I'm a rule follower, so I do what I'm told
and then two Saw two is because I got a job.
I mean, I'd like to say like I sought it
out and I like went for it, but it was
more that somebody called me and said, hey, do you.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Want to do this movie?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
And I was like yeah, because I also think that
there's a lot of I guess I'm very honest in
how I've done a lot of movies is not necessarily
always because I'm seeking it out, being like this would
be a great movie.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
I want to be a part of it. As actors
sometimes like we get a call and they say, hey,
will you do it? And if you're not working, you say.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, you do it.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
And that's why some of these films in my repertoire
and my resume are some that I I hoped never
would materialize.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Brilliant statement, Beverly. Yeah, for my next critical question, Yeah,
I mean we are here, Beverly Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
One bad movie?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
What is your one bad movie?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I don't even know what the name is, but I'm
sure it's blood. It's the one we did together, what
we did together but never saw each other. Yeah, I
mean Snoop pageants, Blood Pageant.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Blood and Snoop Dogg starring Beverly Mitchell and Steven Baldwin.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
And wait, there's a clip. I don't even remember the movie.
All I remember is I needed my insurance, so I
took the job.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I remember being asked if I'd go somewhere for X
amount of money, Yeah, and work for two or three days, I.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Think, And I do remember it was a long drive
because it was like am for me. It was like
almost in like San Diego or or Temecula.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
I think.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
So, let's just analyze this for a second, because that's
one of our bad movies.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, is there any other bad movies?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, you did the saw Nests.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
That was a good movie, But what are what are some.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Of the stuff you did, like blood Pageant? Is there
more of that?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Or Oh yeah, no, definitely I did.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
What do you remember? It's so great. It's like a therapy.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I did another movie.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
I did another movie that I was like helping with too,
because I really thought it was going to be cool.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I was like, I actually believed it.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, you know those are the killer ones where you're
like I got something special and then you're like, wow,
I don't got Ali gave me.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
A great anecdote once He's like, yeah, well, you know,
you sign up for some pictures in the indie world,
and you know, they say, oh, yeah, man, we're going
to the Bahamas.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
You know, you get on this barge. You thought there
was going to be like a yacht, but you get
on this bar just starts heading toward Staten Island. Hey guys,
and they're going to the Bahamas. We had a rewrite.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Well, we did. This was actually like a true horror movie.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
We did a movie called I think it was originally
called Penhurst and it was at an insane's an old
abandoned insane asylum in Pennsylvania, and it was Michael Rooker
was in it and he was directing. He took upon
himself to do a lot of rewrites.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Rooker.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, so a lot of the basis of what we
were supposed to be doing, all of a sudden didn't
quite make sense, but we just like kind of went
along with it. Rooker because basically, I think, to be honest,
he just didn't want to memorize the monologues, so he
just kind of cut them.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
And so there was a lot of things that like
all of a sudden just like didn't really make sense. Yeah,
just we did a lot of cutting, but basically we
were running around this insane asylum and we were shooting it.
But what was crazy is also like, if it's a
horror movie, you gotta kind shoot it at night, but
we were shooting it during the day.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Didn't make all that much sense.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
But it was crazy though, because literally, like we were
all at the Cast Hotel, which was overlooking a cemetery
right next to the insane Asylum.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
And all of it was that close proximity. Yes, okay,
And it was.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
One of those things where like I didn't really believe
in ghosts and spirits until I.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Had a situation on set where I was like, oh,
there's something here.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
You got a supernatural experience.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yeah, we had, because I we would. The location itself
was just stunning, No, it was stunning. The architecture was
just amazing.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
But to see Aylum it was it was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
You see how the spirits lured you early with the architecture.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
It was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
But then when we so I would go exploring. I
was with this guy who was he was supposed to
be security on the show.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
His name was Moose.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
He was a Canadian football player and so he was
supposed to walk with me, just to make sure that
I didn't get myself into trouble. And I was walking
around taking pictures because I was also supposed to be
helping produce, and so I was chying, did you you
know the producer thing?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Double duty?

Speaker 4 (34:21):
And so I was taking pictures and just getting these
amazing shots. And we were kind of out in this clearing,
and all of a sudden, I felt we heard something
rustle in the bushes, and we looked, and then all
of a sudden, the bushes moved and it sounded like
we were about to get like taken out by some

(34:43):
big ass animals.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Didn't know what it was. And of course what do
I do.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
I freeze and I'm just like stuck there. And then
I look around and like Moose just took off, like
he left me there.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
He ran, he left, he left me, he liked the bodyguard.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
He left, he was gone, like took off like wasn't
even like didn't I don't, I don't even think it.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Later on, what's funny is like.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So something whished by you and that was it?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
No? Something No, not only did it wish by you,
like it came at me.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
And then you felt a bitter cold and like you
felt something and it was like the strangest experience.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
And of course I'm still like, I could have been
anything but ran so it was something.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah, it was definitely something, So I didn't I kind
of then started to realize, like, I'm gonna I'm going
to show this place respect and I'm going to make
sure that Like I was like, i would introduce myself
when I would go into places, I'm like, hi, I'm bev.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I'm not here to harm you or do any such thing.
I am like, and I would literally like yes.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
And what's funny is the film never really materialized really anything.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't even know if it made.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh god, nothing's happening, is it? You scared me? What happened?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Is something just moved?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Don't do that. What happened? You just scared me.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I didn't scare you, but you I'm an actor.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
You just went anyway. It was about you just turned
your head like kind of a.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Scary because John apparently found something.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
But I went back with the medium later on because
I did Celebrity ghost Stories and they actually told me to.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Go back, and I was like, and that show took
you back to the same.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Place celebrity ghos stories. Took me back to Penhurst and
I walked around with a medium and.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Did they have Geiger counters and everything, all those spirit
Geiger counters.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
No. But what's funny is like she was able to
recall things that like there's no way she would have known.
And then she was also telling us. She told me
which spirits.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Were trying to warn me, and actually the whole time
they according to the medium, she was saying, they all
knew that I was a safe person, but they were
trying to keep me away from the spirit and which weren't.
And so that charge was basically, don't go any further,
like you've gotten close enough. Penhurst was a place of

(37:07):
a lot of pain and a lot of really bad
things that happened to.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Very All that stuff is strong innocent people.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
And apparently also she told me that I had a
spirit that was there protecting me all the time. And
she's like she's young, she's like your age, and one
of my best friends passed away when I was fifteen sixteen,
and apparently she was my angel. That was kind of
just being like, hey, she's off limits, Like you no

(37:39):
go with her, you stay over and funny enough, at
the very end of this whole experience with the medium,
as I'm walking away and the cameras are off and
we're just we're walking back to our cars, she says,
I have a question for you, and I'm sorry if
this is too personal, and I'm like, well, we just walked.
I mean, you pretty much told me a lot of
personal things so far, so nothing's going to be too personal.

(38:02):
And she's like, are you pregnant? My said no, and
she's like are you sure. I'm like, yeah, I'm sure,
and she's like, Okay, you will be in like the
next month or so. It's a little girl and she's
been waiting for you. A month later, I was pregnant
with Kenzie.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
So I guess at the end of the story you
could say that you could thank your seventh heaven, right.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah, isn't that? Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 4 (38:38):
You know, Penhurst was not necessarily a great movie, but
being able to do that celebrity ghost stories and have
that like life experience was really cool.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
That circle back you never could have exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
There's a lot of times where you're like, okay, like
what what am I going to learn from that?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
So you're at this place now where you're Mama Bear
being Beverly yep, because you're creating your own piece where
you're finding that yep. But you're also gonna direct yep.
Are you going to write too, or you're want to
focus maybe in this next tier or season of your

(39:13):
career is directing, So hold on yep. So if your
mama Bear at peace, you know you're not going to
waste time.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
If I call you, you know in six months, I go, hey, man,
I got ten million, it saw twenty seven. I want
you to direct. You don't have the time because you'd
rather do what you want.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
To do or no, you know, I think it all
just depends.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
I think I'm I'm definitely the person that wants to
do things that make sense, that fulfill me. And I
think at this point I'm more critical of my time
because it takes away from my kids.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Right, So I'm absolutely like, if I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Not be with them, it has to be with people
like I have a no app, Like I won't work
work with jerks anymore because honestly it's just not fun.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Right. But my question, more pointedly is as a director
in the future, you're open to be like a director,
work for hire, your work for other people if the
circumstances are correct.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
If the circumstances are correct.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
But I also as well as you want to develop
your own stuff that you do that's your passion projects.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Absolutely, I think I want to not only do I
want to develop work on the projects that I'm passionate about,
but it's also with the people I'm passionate about.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Cool.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
So being able to kind of control that is a
big thing for me because I also want I want
to get back to the way it was in the nineties.
I want to get back to the way when we
all worked and we had so much fun. Like I
remember working with you.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
I already told you I have an idea. It's like
the Honeymooners. Yeah, it's me and you.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I'm a pastor, okay.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
But like I'm Steven Baldwin's version of a pastor. Okay,
God help the world. But I have this kind of
Ray Romanoy kind of you know Honeymooners thing, love it
where this guy just keeps stumbling on himself because he's
just human, of course, but in that Honeymooners kind of

(41:13):
really like and there's these wonderful scenes where the wife's
just going, really, that's what she thought that. It's that
kind of a sitcom.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'll tell you about it later. It's called The Afterlife.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
It's after he retires from being a faster, and he's
a faster So we want you to get to have
it me and you are going to start on that
show in the future. I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
We're gonna do it. We're gonna raise the money. You
can direct. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Well, I'll be in my trail and then we'll.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
See I'm the one that never goes to my trailer.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Oh oh wow, I'm like, you've probably never said this
to a director. Watch I literally the well, not a director,
a producer. I've had. I've had some producers kind of
like start that thing, and you know, they said it
was the Bahamas and did all of a sudden you
see Staten Island, and I had to pull certain producers
aside and go, hey, bro, yeah, you've kept me over schedule.

(42:16):
You're not gonna pay me those fees. The whole thing's
kind of indie and sketchy. It's it's not the Bahamas. Broy, So,
I just want you to know if you try X,
Y and Z again, I'm just trying to figure out
how you're going to film that day, if I lock
myself in my trailer. I looked right at the producer,

(42:37):
I went, listen, dude, I'm from Massapequa. We don't we
don't get it, you know what I mean. It's like
one of those kind of Woody Harrelson things. You know,
if you smoke too much weed, you know, you're just
gonna go lock yourself in the trailer. Haha. But it's
just it's adorable to talk to you because you're like
my sister Beth. We talked about, you know, the eldest

(42:58):
sibling who's much more read gimented and you know won't
take bs. No, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
No, I'm the girl.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
I'm the girl that on every set. If you want
to know where all the other actors are, you come
to me, right. And there's a lot of times where
the ads were like, we're just going to give you
a walkie because you know more than some of us.
Because I'm the one who's like, uh, so and so
just went ten to one that so and so is
in wardrobe the other one like I would know where

(43:24):
everybody was. But it was because I love being on
set and I love since you were four, I know
it's my happy place.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
And honestly time to do that.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
I'm more comfortable being in front of a camera and
feeling emotions that I am.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Being like human. It's actually like a.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Weird When my brother Alex started in the industry, we
were like four dumb jocks. No, we really were, but
we are smart. Yeah dumb jocks. Yes, I'm smart about
how to cut school, cheat in school. Not all. Myself
and Daniel were kind of the problem. Brothers William and
Alec were like you, and we were starting out in

(44:07):
the industry. I went to the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts for college for a year, and I was like,
holy crap, how do I like auditioning? And literally we
were like entering into the industry of Hollywood like Vinnie Barberina,
Like you know those scenes where you'd be like what
yeah with you know that was us. Yeah, it was
the Baldwin Brothers. We're like kind of like, wow, look
at this man. Oh what is this called? Oh it's

(44:29):
a planet Hollywood opening. Wow, look at all the movie
stars and the chicks. You know, we had to figure
all that out.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
In that Yeah. Yeah, it was weird. Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
So you were blessed. You know, you already had kind
of a sense of the industry, but the professionalism and
all of that when we came in, it was like,
you know, like, yeah, do what you want, be a MANIACU.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Well it's interesting too.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Also nowadays too, it's very interesting because you've got the
YouTubers and you've got people who have like followings, and
so they come on set thinking it's one way, and
like you've got the old schoolers. And I like to
think of myself as old school, like where I remember
when there was actually film in a camera and we
had to check the gate, right, you know, where you

(45:14):
say these things and people are like what gate there,
it's closed, and You're like, no, no, And so it's
I'm so grateful that I had that upbreaking, upbringing and
that education and.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Understanding because I feel like.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
I feel sad for everyone nowadays who are entering in
the industry because it's so very different and you've.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
A lot of that magic has been lost. So it
is my intention and my goal to bring back projects
and those experiences and to kind of bring that world back.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Just because it was it's it's so much of my
heart and what I just I remember when like you
could be on multiple movie there'd be multiple movie stars
from all different movies, and like we would all hang out,
but like there was no competition. It was always like
you know, especially on in television, like the WB would

(46:21):
hang out with Fox and like all stars would hang
out and there was always these crossovers and everybody was cool.
And now everything is like you know, you're over here
and you're over here and you never see anybody anymore.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
But the community and the community.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Connectivity of that exactly. So there used to be Battle
of the Network Stars. I did that Battle of the
Network Stars.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Yeah, but that like said the like revamped.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Version, I'm a Fear Factor Champion actor.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Did you eat bugs?

Speaker 1 (46:49):
No? I didn't have to eat any bugs.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Oh, then how do you win Fair Factor without eating bugs?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Because it's a celebrity edition, they don't make us eat stuff.
But the point of that is you don't have to
get in the coffin. And they put two hundred snakes
in it, and out of the two hundred snakes, there
was like four or five white ones and you have
to get in with a blindfold and kind of your
face is kind of covered, but you get to peek

(47:14):
underneath and like try to find the white ones while
the snakes are crawling on you. So you're in the
coffin and they're filming and they go go and they
dump the two hundred snakes on you. Then they put
the four other ways.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
How thick the snakes.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Big long, creepy crawlers, bigger ones, longer ones, yes, whatever, Yeah,
but no boa can cake strangulate, just creepy crawlers snakye
you I guess. But the weird part was they start
this task and you have the snakes on you and
you're looking and trying to find a white one, and
then they take a bucket full of a hundred Madagascar

(47:52):
hissing cockroaches. Yeah, they go like this, No yep, These
fricking things latch onto your ear and they have those
little hooks on their feet. It's disgusting, and they take smell.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
I will take jumping out of a helicopter any day
over that.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
So I had to do that, Okay. Then they locked
me in a shark cage and put me underwater. And
I had to like hold my breath and find a
key and get out and then swim to the surface
in the shortest amount of time. Okay, uh, And then
I guess I did a bunch of this stuff. I
really don't remember.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
I had to be submerging a hummer and have to
get myself.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
And get out. Yeah. Was it just a seatbelt?

Speaker 4 (48:33):
Um, Yes, it was just a seatbelt, but it was
a big ass hummer that you had to like, and
you have to be you have to wait until they
release you to get out, and you have to have
your eyes open, hands on the wheel.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Three o'clock, nine o'clock.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
That the rules was the rules. Break the rules.

Speaker 4 (48:51):
Then, like you had to wait until they like gave
you the.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
So what's the girl's name? That was the soap actress?
I think Sweeney? Who's the girl I beat on Fear Factor?
What's your name? Alison? Sweeney?

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Alison.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
So it's down to the wire of Fear Factor and
to do that shark cage thing at the end. Joe
Rogan's the host. So I come up, I swim out.
Three people already went. I do it in like twenty
eight seconds. I do it like in half the time.
Of anyone else, just because I figured something out underwater. Yeah,
so I get out of the water. Rogan goes, dude,
you just won. I go, I Didn'tmanda the Allison Sweeney

(49:26):
has to go. Yes, she's never gonna do in twenty second,
I go, chill, Lopery goes, you bro, you just won.
I'm watch she's gonna go right now. Watch she don't
say anything. Hey, everybody, Joe Rogan factor, Well she goes
in all this, I won, but it was just so

(49:46):
did she do it? Yes, Allison went, but she didn't
beat my time.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
But she did it.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
But she did it so she still won. She won,
meaning she completed the task, but overall she was not
the champion of fear Factor.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
She still won because she did well.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I mean, if we're talking to old school Beverly, No,
she did not win. She was the loser against me. Okay,
that's what happened. I love Allie Sweeney after all these years,
God bless, I'm sure it's keeping you up at night. Okay,
But isn't it cool because now I see some of

(50:23):
these folks that we used to run around with are
now in different positions, different successes, you know, And I
just every time I see Rogan, I want to go.
How did you know he's a as the host bro?
I know who's gonna like puke and who's gonna win? Okay,
So experience you never know, never know, could will could

(50:46):
be handy in the future.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
The Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Knowing how to overcome your fears could be helpful in
the future. Could be how many kids? How many kids
you have three? That's that's Fear Factor champion right there.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I mean the things, the horrors that you see every
day are intense. Wow.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
So you've been on Special Forces, I've been on Fear Factor.
And between us we agree parenting is far more gnarly
than any Mark production.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I yes, and more grueling and exhausting and challenging. It
pushes you to every limit.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Well, thank you so much. Of all of your films,
which one do you think is aged the best?

Speaker 4 (51:41):
I would have to say it would either be The
Crow City of Angels or saw To.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
I would say you were in The Crow City of Angels.
I was with who is the lead.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Character, Vincent? What's his last name? I just knew him
as Vincent after uh uh uh Brandon. Yes, And it was.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
It was a What was really cool was it was
supposed to be one scene and I went on set
and I did my one scene, and uh, they chose
to expand my role, and I all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Who's the director?

Speaker 2 (52:19):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (52:19):
I was?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Literally I think I was literally, uh fourteen or fifty? Oh,
Tim Pope?

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah, Tim Pope was the director.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yes, and Vincent Press and and Mia Kirshner and they were.
But I was just supposed to be this This was.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Crow three to you. I think it was Angels extension
in the franchise Angels. Yeah, wow, yeah, so this.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Is aged I was fifteen, And it was just was
such a cool experience because it was to go on
to do your scene and then to know that you've
done so well that they expand role and continue to.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Add And how did that evolve? Was it like the
director going, hey, she's better than we thought, or yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
Think they they realized that the connection that I had
with Vincent when we did our scene was a little
bit deeper than they had expected. So then they kept
pulling me in and adding me into other scenes to
kind of have this innocent child that he was trying
to protect, right, But that was just such a cool
experience of being to showing up into doing well enough

(53:30):
that they want more of you.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Well, yeah, like we were talking about earlier, right, Yes,
you showed up, you did you prepared, you did the work,
you did your acting. And because back then the environment
of how movies were made. Uh, and was that a big.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Budget projector I mean it was a decent for me,
it was huge, right, But that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
Yeah, So isn't it weird that even today, with the
exception of like the much bigger budgeted projects, unless you're
that level of activity in this industry, the improvisational finding
it thing, creative thing.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Well, because you don't have those creatives on set, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
I mean I think it's because everything has become I.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Think there's gonna be a renaissance.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I hope there is. I really hope there is.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
There's enough people already talking about this that the technology
has gotten out of hand, the streaming thing, the bias,
subscription and all this stuff. Is like when in the
end people just want to be entertained.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Well, it's because I feel like what we're watching now
are photocopies. We're watching photocopies of old movies.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
But what we're missing is the heart.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
So you have these like you have these replicas of
like movie movie, movie, movie movie, and they're the same movie.
Like half the time I'm watching a movie, I'm like,
I already know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Can I just get in trouble on my own show?

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Okay? Yeah, well it's your show.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Isn't there a new mcguiver movie, isn't the show? Isn't it?
Kind of what based on the series. It's like a
retro flashback eighties nineties?

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Who's starring in it? Ryan Gosling?

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Who?

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Ryan Gosling?

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Ryan Gosling, Yeah, he just did a movie recently, didn't
he What to call Barbie? Listen to what I'm saying now,
I know what you're saying. Ryan Gosling, one of the
premier leading men, is starring in Barbie and fall Guy
concepts from well, yeah, thirty forty fifty years ago. So

(55:36):
if you asked me about how creative Hollywood is today.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Yeah, we're definitely going back to what worked.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Well, it's like Oppenheimer Barbie, you know, it's like best
of the best creative genius and that success I'm not
going to take away from it. It deserves its success
because that's the model they built and pursued that worked.
But listen to how creepy I'm talking. It's not making

(56:04):
a movie anymore. It's a model. It's a marketing, distribution psychology.
Google studied it and we know what you ordered for postmating.
It's weird. It's not just making a movie anymore. Yeah,
So that's I people are talking to me right now.
You know, I'm getting ready to start doing my own
next seven years. I'm going to write little movies. I

(56:25):
want to be like John Hughes. I want to do
sixteen Candles. I want to do the Breakfast Club, my
little versions of it. For me, Yeah, for my soul.
I agree, and then invite people to experience that kind
of storytelling.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Well, and I think there's so many of us that
are diving that want that too, that want to go
back to that career because I also.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Find that in that process, the magic of the creativity
that was brought was so much richer.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
I feel like now even yeah, I feel like now
on set, I feel like there's so many distractions. I
feel oftentimes people aren't really connected to what they're doing
in scene like I feel like whereas we weren't given
that that wasn't the luxury that we had. You didn't

(57:24):
have that luxury, you know in the eighties and nineties,
like you you showed up like if you weren't, they'd
get rid of you.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
You were all like we were replaceable, like if you
did it.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Now people feel they're not replaceable, so therefore they like
phone it in. And I mean obviously not in like
crazy caliber movies. I mean, they're still amazing artists, but
I feel like a lot of some of these movies
that just keep turning out are just kind of like not.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
My favorite being here.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
What I hope you'll come back, your big successful director
whatever writer person, you'll consider me for your future projects,
of course, because I used to be a great actor
in this town and now I'm just a podcast host.

(58:20):
Thank you, Beverly terrific, Thank your man, Thank the kids,
and I'm still going to hold rainbowslides dot Org.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Okay, perfect. You'll make a note that it's that who
to calls Biggest, So.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Bad it's good, guilty madness, this sun, it's so bad.
It's a good one bad
