90210MGraduation!

did not disappoint this episode. I think. I think I've said this before, but I think this episode was my very favorite so far. It was, it was, it was, it was up there, definitely top three. Well, because it could have had something to do with the fact that it was many episodes. All who knew one. This was a flashback episode. People. Wow, amy, do you love a good flashback episode? Well, of course that's what made me cry.

But did you, guys, like it? Did you like how the story was essentially produced, like, you know, characters flashback, characters talking flashback. Those are weird. Those like moments. Remember, like what was that show? When was it? Wayne and Garth? When they that's ironic, because they're in this episode. They're in this episode. I mean you're in this episode as Garth Anyway, were they're like no, like the when the

screen gets all wiggly waggle, flashback. Yeah, that it kind of bothers yeah, what kind of bothers me when the characters are like Oh, and then they look like m m, to have our memory, and then and then they come back from the memory and they're like M. didn't they used to do it on sitcoms to like uh, they would right, like they would kind of go fuzzy. Yeah, but it's the best. I don't know. Usually it bugs me,

but it didn't bug me. How could you not do it, though? Yeah, it's like this is so important and this is such a like moving on that we have to see where we've come from. That's the thing they say. You know, you've heard him say it. You don't appreciate things until they're gone. And when I was, you know, a teenager, twenty something, I didn't believe that. I didn't even know what that meant. But now it's so true. Like everything in life, like if you just think about it, you

don't really appreciate it till it's gone. It really makes you appreciate what you have when you have it and take that time and like savor every second of it and just you come from such a more grateful place in your day to day experiences and like right now I'm so grateful to have this time with you, two gals, and and everybody listening because, like, this episode just made me really, really remember that that and and wanted all back, like I wanted to be back in that moment in

time and I wanted to be able to go back and appreciate it more when I was experiencing it, because I feel like, wow, what a time that was. I mean I remember being in high school. I mean we all remember, like even when you were young, like even in elementary school, being like, what is it three o'clock yet? Is that one's it gonna when's the day gonna be over? When's the weekend to be over? So almost the weekend. When's IT gonna BE SUMMER? When's IT gonna BE WINTER?

Like you just wanted it to go faster and it to end. But then when you look back, I don't really look back and be like I wish I could go back to high school. There were moments I like, but it does make me feel like the ten years of nine twenty. I never that never happened to me once. There was never a time where I was sitting there going are we threw all these scenes at the day over yet? Isn't the weekend yet? Like, I enjoyed every moment of every ten years. I mean not every moment,

but you know what I mean. Like, I think that's the only time in my entire life where I haven't been like wanting to move on to something else. Do you ever wish that? Not that you want to go back to high school? What about? Yes, do you want to go back to this? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. Take us back right now. I realized that. I realized in this episode this wasn't just a TV show. This as a fan even, but even as me and you

who were in it. This was a TV show. This was like life for us and this was life for everybody watching it, and that's why it just was like it's such a good show. Yeah, I'm getting a little tar just thinking about that. For you guys, like, do you ever to think about your graduations and in your memory this comes up as opposed to your real graduations? Well, I didn't have a real graduation, only had one, but

you had a real graduation. I didn't have an actual graduation, but when I think of graduation in my mind, and I can see it right now and visualizing it, it was actually this day shooting all together and we were being silly and having fun and we actually felt like we were at a graduation like this, is it like it was like a big day for us. I can remember us right now filming. I could see you, I could see everyone and I love that. So, yeah, that's the memory in my mind. Did either of you feel

and I'm so curious what other fans experience? It was one of the first times where I saw Steve and iron, I saw Jenny and Kelly in the I saw Tory and Datta in the characters like it was like I did have sort of that moment of like these are characters, are these are real guys. That's so crazy. You're saying this because you are right. You were right, you were right. So I couldn't tell what was happening until you just

said it. But what I was going to bring up was I was like, oh my gosh, brandon was on fire this episode. What was going on? And then now that you're saying and I'm like, oh my gosh, because he was this episode represented fifty fifty of Brandon and Jason Personality. Yeah, I felt that, oh my gosh. Yeah, I felt that. Hugs felt like the actor's hugging. Yeah, yeah, I mean it felt like we it felt as if the show was going to end, like this was the

episode ever. I panicked a little bit because I was like, I just want to go back to high school now, I want to go back to high school. Wait, I don't want high school. And take us back, go back at her was such a good why? Why? Why does everybody have to grow up? I don't like it because

it's actually time. It's making upset. It's making me upset because I feel like this podcast now it was never a finality, but when we started the podcast we were still in high school and we were doing the show and but now that we finished high school and graduated, there's a finality to it. That makes me really sad, like we can't watch it again. Never, we can't go back again. It's done. We can't go back. We can.

That's the great part. Did that last scene? I don't know, we're not going in order, but the last scene where you, I mean that really Oh, I have to hold it back right now, with all of you lined up looking at the Hollywood sign, the fake Hollywood, the West Beverly Amy. Why are you jumping to the end? I know, but God can't. I think we need to introduce the episode that, please God. That's all I want to talk to at that end. Oh my gosh. Okay, okay, let's do this

the proper way before we get too excited. Season Three, episode twenty nine and thirty, commencement, part one and two aired Mayne. Synopsis as Oh sorry, I just got it. Wasn't a big event, like a big it was that we should find that, we should find that TV guide. I bet there was like a big AD in the TV guide, the TV guide. Okay, Synopsis. As the game gears up for graduation, they are overcome with a series

of emotions and flashbacks. They remember the good times, the bad times, and they all show hope for what's to come. The emotional roller coaster ends with a picture perfect scene as they gathered to see the stamp they left on the Hollywood sign and our hearts. Oh the Great Synopsis. I was looking up really quick how many people watched it. I wanted to see if I could find. I could tell that. Yeah, I mean I could like when million

people watching this. I just loved the way it was like it would be in real life if this was your graduation. That like the just the excitement that like even the UM B camera shots, all the like atmosphere on the quad, all the extras, like having fun and like that feeling of like we did it and like everybody just had that same energy throughout the whole episode. And it starts out really strong and like there's the whole graduation breakfast and the whole senior thing, tribute thing

that they got together and did. Like it. It felt so real because it was. It was. It really good. I think the fact that it's two hours. It's so made it like I didn't feel cheated by the flashbacks. I think had it been one hour. Yeah, yeah, I felt like there was enough content in it. Yeah, because usually when it's a flashback episode, and you're right, like when it's just an hour, they do that so they can take up time because they don't have enough story

to tell, but they want to save money. The flashback episode. They already shot it, so why don't we show it again? But in this case it didn't feel that way. It

felt like memories. I just felt like the characters were so on point this episode that I literally was hanging on their every word, their every look, and I wanted, I did get a little bummed going into some of the flashbacks because I just wanted to be back in that scene with them and I wanted to hear it, even if they almost wanted them to talk about like remember that time and talk about it, then see it. But I get the the need to see it to

take us on that journey. But everyone just had such great energy in this episode and I almost rather would have seen them talk about a memory and hear what they would have said in present time with the group and the group commenting. Like you saw a little bit when they would come out of the flashbacks, the group would be like, Oh, that was you know, talk about it for a second, but I don't know. But Um,

can we start at the beginning of the quad? They were they playing tag football or first of all, yeah, I got nervous. I was like wait, are Brenda and Dylan back together? Like, Um, I was really upset. So I started off this episode annoyed because Dylan like touched her and then called her babe and she called him Dil. So I was a little confused. I said, did I miss something? Did I miss a few episodes? They are they back together? Is this a dream? I didn't know

what was happening. But why did we call her baby? You know really good friends. No, Dil's fine, but he called her babe, like Oh, you got this baby, like you're the only girl playing. You're okay, Babe. I wonder if it was in the script or if Luke added it. I feel like that is not a word he would say. Yeah so, but why? But they seemed very wistful about one another through most of this episode. So by the time later on rolls around, I'm getting a little nervous

that I don't I've said Babe. I feel like it was some inside joke, like I could see this happening, like Shannon being like, Oh, I hate when guys call me Babe, or something like that. So then he like said it like in the scene when he walked away. I was wondering if the babe happened, because when we get to that scene that Jenny's talking about, I actually he thought, Oh, they could kiss because there had been some sort of connections established earlier, sort their whole relationship

on screen, though. They never said Babe. Well, let's talk about Mrs Tels, like, can we be mine? Let's talk about Mrs ts like, because she's in this episode a lot. She's amazing. So I love it when she's in her office and Um Steve Walks in and he can overhear her like given heat to that girl about her outfit. She does not let up, and I love an outfit that. It looks like something I probably wore and didn't get in trouble for. Why is that girl so much from

wearing that outfit? We've born worse, it was true. But I also really want to take it just a second to appreciate Mrs Teasley's fingernails, because, wow, they're pretty nails. They were on point and those are then I noticed them and if we saw them, we probably were like, oh, those aren't cool, because we like, we all wore short, like nails, Lady Nail, long nails, long nails, nails, and now they're totally in. Yeah, look at your fingers. Yeah.

We talk about eyebrows really quick, though, because the flashbacks made me realize Shannon's earlier eyebrows were maybe better. I didn't know what were they before the fast, more natural in like season one, and then you all got to wait. You Ain't seen nothing yet. you want to knock eyebrows. Wait, wait, that's coming. Oh my God, the biggest mistake in my life. Not the biggest, but would you uh wait, can I

go back? Okay, so the first scene where they, you know, have the idea that they're gonna do something to the Hollywood sign, did you notice, not to talk about myself, that Donna's hair was very season four? I was like, was this a pickup shot? Like my hair wasn't. It wasn't puffle Donna. It was like flat iron like like. I was like, what's going on? You look very serious. Can you all remember being up on that hill? What Hill? When you're like that scene sort of where you're all

outside in the dirt? You're a sleepover up there at the end. Well, it kind of goes throughout because when you go up there it's night and then you know they've already done it, they're done, and then you all sleep there like we're I don't remember filming that part, but a daytime part I do. You're talking about them for it was up there by the by the sign.

There was definitely. Yeah, definitely, I think. Did you do something to the sign, because this was like pre C G I so like, did they actually cover the sign or is it totally fake, because I'm like that sympathetic. Good question. They must have done it with like those big black tarps. They discovered it. It looks we gotta ask Chuck Rosen. There were no special effects back then because it looked not good enough. Yeah, like it was

so you could. I think they covered it. Speaking of they brought they must have had every background actor that had ever appeared. I've never seen in my life. There was so many, so many like the whole episode, that I actually took time to like look at each and everyone, like are they high school age appropriate? Did they cast it to right? Yeah, Nice, yeah, yeah, it felt super real.

Did you notice that one poor background actor, though? So you guys are getting together to do the group graduation photo. So you're still at the graduation and one of the parents wants a photo of all and some poor background actor sort of got stuck a little bit. You have to watch it. He's all, oh no, oh no, how do you get up? I got to get out of the shot. That's funny. I wish he hadn't gotten out of the shot. Classic there's just one Rando in there.

Oh Man. But I did notice then when the Um, well, when the Walsh's, when Cindy who apparently is taken up the part time job as a blackjack dealer or something, because she was wearing a shirt with cards, oliver shirt. You want them? I didn't say wanted, I said I love that. Shut Yeah, she's going on the pro circuit. I don't know what's happening. But Um, anyway, that she made that amazing ice cream Sunday bar for the family

and I just wanted to be there for that. But did you notice that brandon doesn't eat any toppings on his Sunday? He just ate his ice just straight. I did notice in a plate, on a plate like she has bowls for all the like condiments, sprinkles and gummy bears. See. But yeah, man, but I thought that's an interesting it was like he was eating it though. You know, he didn't want any toppings on it. No, just very vanilla. That's a very brandon, Jory, Brandon, very basic. I thought

she did bring it for her graduation dress, though. The blue. I thought she looked great at graduation because I usually really screw her with the Jordan again. Sorry. Oh Yeah, Jordan Bonner. We still never saw a breakup, right, and such a plot confusion, like she always wanted to sleep

with brandon, so she basically was dating Jordan Bonner. So then she wants to sleep with Brandon, but then Jordan Bonner is still like around, but then Jordan Bonner sort of does elude like she's yeah, she really wants to, she's choosing you ever me. But what? Did they break up? Or they never formally together? Why did you even come to the peach pit? I don't get it. Confused. Oh yeah, he came to the beach bit because he was supposed to meet her there and she flaked because we're working

on the speech or something. Yeah, their relationship is not good. So good done, like by that was it. Yeah, see you never. I just I had a real hard time the whole episode. Plural that, the fact that they were just finding out where they were going to college, like it's just I know we've talked about this before, but it's really apparent in this episode and it's just weird. It's just you would have had to have accepted and you don't just get it like Brenda just goten and

three and spent three only thinking about her decision. It doesn't make much sense, although for the young ones out there, the thick or thin envelope was major. So that was but I'm also confused, and I don't mean this in a mean way, to Kelly. If California University is like literally such a good school that brandon and Brenda and Andrea are all thinking about it and they're clearly what they're yellow on the honorable or whatever, how did Kelly get in? Well, right, how did Donna get in? Like,

but I don't I don't know if Donna. Donna's grades might be good. Right. It's like everybody that wants to go there just gets to go there. But that's not how it works. You try to get into a UC state, U C college. Now, well, maybe we were ahead of our time as usual, and their parents paid a lot of money and got them in, and Steve isn't. So I sort a picture. At best. Let's say Steve's got a barely a three. Oh, he probably has a doesn't right,

and Brandon, I'm sure, has a four point. Oh, it's just a little bit of a plot fail a little, a little bit. They got to keep the group together though, somehow. Amy. Yeah, what about when you and it didn't last long enough for me, when you and Brian were Um Wayne and garth. You're really good at that. He was really good at it too. It was really fun. It was something like that. It's not another kid in the school that exists because

the video. It's just all their friend group. If I was in that auditorium or I would have been like, oh my God, what about me? Like F you popular kids sucks. So flapping and encouraging of them. They sing a song to Brandon, your private camping trip. Why do they say Brandon wants a little Cutie Brandon when food sister? Why comfortable? It's crazy, but I literally wrote a note, like do other kids in the school? Hate them? Hate Tat, hate them because they are so self centered, right, they

just only about themselves. Yeah, I also wrote it. He was a good announcer, Eric Rubin, the new Voice of Voice. He's got a new job, but I need to go back to the brandon montage of all the girls he's kissed. I want to. I want an entire ten years of a montage like of all the girls he actually made out with. Were you surprised by his favorite? Yeah, yeah, I picked the ice skater girl, but then no commentary

after as to why. I can see them together, I know, but wanf his skating he's been pining for her this whole time and we never knew that. He even remembered that and he'd be like you'd be surprised, and then he's like longest looking off. Yeah, and it's like she's in the ice capades. He's not available anymore. Disney on ice. But who would you all think should be his favorite? Up until now? Gosh, no one. There's nobody but Kelly for him. Is it Nikki? Is it emily? Not Emily.

She was bad, bad, nude Keim and Nikki didn't really feel significant. No, or right or I think the skating girl was the right choice for him. I mean, if that that's our only choice, is okay, sure, yea, he really doesn't have love. Oh, the girl he left behind, what was her name? And she wasn't great. But I did love the flashbacks because all the people looked, all the people us, all those people, we looked so young from season one and season two, like Oh my God,

we just look so young. And then for Gabrielle, she didn't. She does. Hold up, goodness right, she's probably. Please, please. I have got a weird question. That all those people have to be paid. Probably, do you know what I mean? Like all those lasts? Do all those actors get? I don't know. You'd be surprised on the things we didn't get paid on back then. So maybe not. Probably throughout. One criticism, please. I have one. I only have one

of this whole episode. I was disappointed, and maybe it was scheduling, maybe it was money, that everyone's parents weren't in the audience. I know me too, totally about money. That was weird. If we're Donna's parents right, where's Steve's mom? She's graduating after all, and they're not there, but we don't see her. I would have really, really liked a

shot of all that felt. I didn't like that, and I'll say I wanted a shot because I know we got to see a little bit of Dylan's imagination seeing his dad there, but I wanted to see him in the audience just watching like proud. Yeah, because also then that would fuel that like did it happen or did it not happen. Controversy, like was that in his imagination

or wasn't? Think well, DAD was. As it stands now, Jack was definitely in Dylan's imagination, in my from my point of view, and who the heck was that Guy who your dad? You're so cute, though. That made me. Where did it come from? Really that made you ball? We've but we've never even seen him. It was, but I think maybe it was Jenny's performance. Yes, because I really got I was like that was really where I was full balling. Give me any dad storyline and I

can bring it, because I got emotions there. That was good and you knew he was there, but it didn't perform. I didn't recognize him personally. I'm surprised Kelly did. How much money is in that check? Is it seven million dollars? Can you write a check for seven millions? I thought it was a million. No, I thought it was seven million. I hope it's more than a million because that's not going to make it. You know, last I thought it was seven million, but I don't know why I thought that.

I want to have a lot of money. I don't know why, I just do. Me Too. How do you think about the Val Victorian speech. Okay, it was the only part in the show that I fast forward through. Whoa, you did not. I did. Well, I didn't not the whole thing, but I was like, okay, I gotta get it. I'm going to come back to it because it was something. You missed it. I miss something good or bad? I miss something good. Oh, but I'll tell you about it later. Tell me about it and I'll tell you about the

end of the pod. Like I want to save it for the end because, yeah, I'm sorry, but David was kind of bumming me out the whole time and like stressing me out and he felt like, you know, he was like the gang's all going to break up. He was like Doomsday and then he had a real quick Switchero, because he got a good and one night. But I realized like I really Miss Um, I miss that relationship, that Kelly and David Brother's sister thing that they did

so well together. I had forgotten like all of those scenes and I had forgotten how great it was working with him and doing those scenes, because when we did those scenes it was usually about something, it was usually we were talking stuff out with each other. Those two characters and I missed that and you know, I never talked to Brian Anymore and I I guess I missed that time. Well, that was good news is you're going to get a lot of him with you coming up

at the beach apartment. Oh okay, that was like a little sneak peek, the three of them hugging and being like Oh, where together. I was like, oh my gosh, flash four and you guys are gonna live together. They do. They feel like siblings. Do you guys get that? I really feel like that works. I know it's weird. I didn't I don't know how it happened and it was just and it was and then it worked and the

flashback actually really made that even more apparent. You know, when he's like dead, when you like and you're like basically get lost. Geek Five, and then you realize like, oh my God, they really did become siblings. Yeah, what I win when they were making that thing in the backyard and Kelly like says something about Dylan's personal finances, a very tiny little slip, but he literally looked at her like he was going to beat her later. He goes,

we'll talk about it later. That scared me a little. I was terrified. Yeah, I would have rather talked about it then. No, let's just talk about it now here in front of everyone, because I'm uncomfortable being alone with you at this point. And then it was such a sort of a quick gloss of her. When you apologize, phone called, when you hung up, and then and then there he is with Brenda. No, no, no, he totally would have cheated on Kelly. If then, you think iris

hadn't come, I don't think it. I thought it was gonna happen because I don't have any clue what's going to happen in the episode. I literally thought they were going to make out on the couch and I was like wow, this is going to be interesting, but then knock, knock, knock. Do you think if I was hadn't come? Oh No, I don't want to believe it. Oh, I believe it because they were. She was pining for him the whole episode. They were both kind of like a little missful about

each other and all the memories and saying goodbye. That brings out that stuff and people and they want to like reconnect, you know, unless there's alcohol involved. For you. Yeah, I'd like to pull the audience on that, because I think you might be right. I mean a lot of them probably wanted them to get back together, and I also remember you guys saying, Oh, they get back together a couple of times and I thought, well, this is one of those moments when they don't get back together.

They don't after this, I don't know. They do aby? Yeah, that's how I remember. There is definitely something happens. I thought this was a well, isn't now. Okay, I have another question for you guys. Where should Andrea go to college? Yale? Yale? Uh, yeah, about her whole life. Yeah, I get it, but she shouldn't be making this decision like in June when school starts in August. So this is weird. Maybe she would. Obviously she got up accepted to both, so she wouldn't?

She have been thinking about this for a couple of years. Maybe if she to Yale, she won't say anymore, though. A better pick the other one. Um. I mean, wait, she didn't get a scholarship. Andrea Zuckerman didn't get a scholarship. I don't think she hasn't enough. I mean it would. It's a out a dough. Even back then, well, she should have gotten a scholarship. But it's hue smarty. Did anyone notice that Steve called her Zuckerman, like like the

like the jam, like the Jelly, twice. Zuckerman's not. It wasn't one flub, it was twice. My same issue with the way he says Brandon, Brendon, Brendon Brandon's. It's easy to do. I just could try it out there. Yeah, but Suckerman and Zuckerman is a very different just the way he says it right, right, like iron and Ian. But it's like, why did no one correct him? Yeah, why? Because we were all big stars by then. Someone tell he was like he just said, and the directors like, nope, nope,

no one could look him in there. I had to tell him right, sure, Oh my God, so quick. Little thing too. What were those horrendous boxes at Kelly's that she was clearly packing in? That were the most bright colored boxes? Were the gift boxes? Those are special moving boxes that really rich people use, I guess. Is that what they were trying to say? They don't use like just cardboard. That's for you know. I was the poor people the shower. Flashback, because anytime when I can see

Brian Dancing. So they're moving out of the house. YEA, and then season four we'll start with WHO knows, but it won't be in that house anymore. I'll miss that house. And Kelly's mom says, Oh, and David wants your Andy Warhol Looking. Why that? I was like you, that's your sister. Why? What are you going to do with those? Like putting in his bedroom in real life? Where are those? They would be worth a time. And don't you want them? No,

I don't even want them. Oh my God, I feel like they offered them to you and I said No. One of the many times that iron gave us speeches of you guys. Stuff is gonna be really valuable. It already is. Think about it. Yeah, I wonder where those pictures are. WHO has them? If you know where those prints were, that we're not even they were like paper and personally, weren't even like they were like a car, like they were like a thing canes. Oh, no, they can know. Those would be worth a lot of money.

And whoever has them, because those would look on your wall behind you. Please let us know if you have those. So I didn't say so. Dope, like I'm in the net. I would love to have them. That would be so rad. Can someone look on Ebay and see if they're there her? I'll get right on that. There's so much stuff you guys should have taken. Yeah, we're stupid. So that in. Okay. So Andy Warhol, because his iconic like portraits of people and like the colors, he actually did a pair of

my mom what. I'm convinced that's the inspiration that my dad I was like talking about her. It was like in his house. Would come over her meetings, like they would see it and that's why they did Kelly, I'm sorry, who. Where are those? Where are those? She has them in her no, I wonder if they're in storage now, because

now she lives in a condo. But she used to have them in the Pool House and I'd be like, in our first house they were in our living in our big living room, projection room, where you had the first cast read through. They were there and remember that point. I point to her like she's going to remember that, like everything I do anything. Remember how we an arcade in our first house? Did you ever see that? Hope, okay, the only place I went in that house was the

step down. Yeah, that room. It was on the wall and stairs led down to an arcade down below, like a pool room. Um. But anyway, once they moved to the man or the big house, she put them in the Pool House and I was like that no one went in. I was like even then, as a teenager, like I was like these are cool, like I knew I was like into Andy Warhall. I was like these are awesome, and she was kind of like, Oh, yeah, he wanted to do it. It was like no big deal.

Some of his work. First of all, I just have to be the voice of ever find how rich is your mom? Those are worth tens of millions of dollars, it says, and Andy Warhol painting can be worth tens of millions of dollars. His silk screens can have a large rained price, but some could only be ten thousand dollars. Oh my God, how could she have in the poolhouse or in storage and storage locker right now? And I'm gonna Stan see her tomorrow night. I'm gonna ask her.

I'm gonna ask her where those war halls are. Yeah, you got to let us know. I will. Um, all right, what about yes, when they all come marching into the ceremony didn't I give me. It gave me goose bumps and I don't know, I just I've been to my own, two of my own daughter's graduations and it makes me a wreck every time I just think about it. And then seeing these kids go do it, these Beverly Hills kids, I just turned into a big puddle. Yeah, I don't why.

I don't like why. I don't understand why we all have to grow up. I just don't. I don't understand something. I wonder what it is that makes you. I always am fighting back tears at a graduation, even people I don't know the same thing when people think sing the

Star spangled banner. Was Luckily, though, because I really was like, okay, with them sitting together, somebody did have a brain, because it was Taylor and Sanders and Sanders Silver, silver, right, and then we had Walsh and Zuckerman and they did put McKay kind of by himself and Martin. They could

have been closer. So at least it didn't I was like, if they're all sitting together, it's so they at least I thought they were going to and I knew you were going to be like what they they separated us a little bit. So you think when they started the show and came up with their last names, they thought ahead like an order? It's kind of smart. They almost were in the order they would be. I think that was a lucky, okay, very lucky. Then happens dance kind

of thing. I will say, though, I'm wondering one thing. So, okay, this was a line and then someone said this is the nineties. Who chooses a college based on a guy? NDA says that yes, and I was the same thing I did. What did you think? Listen, I thought felicity. WHO's that? Oh my God, I thought some kind of wonderful Mary Stuart masterson. It's a woman. Could be any one, eighties something at the time. A woman can anything she

wants to be. I literally wrote Down Felicity does because I'm wondering, like, I know this sounds crazy, but could J J Abrams have been watching, I know two a no show and went like, oh, that's an interesting idea. Who picks a college based on a guy? Because the whole premise of felicity is she's accepted into one college and then Scott Speedman, her crush, goes to a different college and she switches what I'm like, watch because I think J J Abrams is just a little bit older

than me. So like, I don't know, I'm just saying because I literally wrote Felicity Does Whoa? Anyway, I digress. I Apologize. Continue. Well, she wasn't picking her college on Brandon, she was picking it because of the tuition. What insecure was, would think. That's what she says. And then Andrea walks in. Also, we're panic attacks ahead of their time, because remember when Brandon says, Andrea, get home, you're having a panic attack, and I was like, did we know they were called that?

I guess, but it wasn't like I say that every five minutes. Now, attack Brandon, get it into the vernacular because literally, it can be as small as that. That starts something being commonplace. I don't know, I can't find it, but I bet you twenty million, thirty million people watch this and Um, well, wait, who is it? Is it rand into Steve, there's phones and video phones. I'm sure you don't have the first. And then also, Jim says Dylan called me on his new cellular telephone. Those new

things only the crazy kids have. Those rich kids think Steve Jobs was watching and he's like, yes, on your theory, if everybody that watches the show launches their career. Well, to everyone out there who's rich, you're well, you're welcome. Oh my Gosh, how about Smush, the nickname smush. Where did you come from? I didn't hear it. Wait, what was it? WHO said it to? Who? Kelly says it to Dylan when she comes out. Don't tell people. I let you call me that, smush. What do you think

of that? I don't think I would. I don't remember ever calling Dylan or Luke that smush. It must have been somebody else's little name they wanted in there, because I did notice another point in the show. This happens all the time on the show, but when the when they're reading the names of the graduates, Um, they say some of the names of our crew members. Who did you hear? Jim, Jim, and I loved him. Yeah, can we talk about senior wills for a minute? There were

they really called my high school senior wills. It was called wills. I've never heard of that. We never had that. Like a will. So, like it's what you leave. So you're like, I'm going to leave my parking place. So like the seniors kind of leaves stuff to the juniors or the sophomores. Never totally have them, and they were in I believe in the paper, in the school paper. I could be wrong on that, but I'm pretty sure that's where you read them. Well, how come when they

were asking like nat what would you leave like? It wasn't. It was memories, not really things like okay, that's okay really. Yeah, I think it was left to like sort of interpretation, because who had like? No one's like I'm going to leave my ten dollar stockportful. That was real. So I loved and it was probably very nineties. I don't know if they do it anymore, but I had it. You didn't have it? All Girls School? No, I don't know. We must. I have a will. That's not for that. Westlake.

Was it Harvard Westlake or just it was Westlake, but now the kids all say they don't know Westlake because I was the last all girl graduating class. So I kind of seem a little bit younger when I'm like, Oh, yeah, I went to Harvard Westlake. What town was the high school? Again, Jenny, my highest school Um Phoenix City, Phoenix phenixin. Do you think they would have had would have gotten? I didn't and I think graduate. So I left. Remember. Oh, so

you wouldn't have had senior wills. Right. I don't know that. Everything about that felt very authentic to me, the breakfast, the skins, the senior wills, the graduation ceremony. They made reference to Grad night. Now we actually had a Grad night to the gym. Yeah, but they kind of had their own Grad night when when they slept by the Hollywood sign together that, yeah, and obviously went to dinner with your parents before and they waited, but some of them went to a party at a club and they

just came from it and made note that we changed. Um. So there was a party and it was really cool how it all played out. And I was thinking because, like I said, I never did this all myself. This was my only experience doing graduation, but also now watching my girls go through like the preparations for graduation and what how cool it is to be a senior. I don't know it, I missed it, but I think that might be why so emotional to it. It definitely was

perfectly done. When right from the moment when Mrs t says introducing the graduating class of nineteen hundred and ninety three, just the way she said it, nine hundred ninety three. I was like, wow, that was a long time ago. Oh my God, no, it wasn't. It was in the nineteen hundreds, two thousands to either of you. Tori, have you had your thirty year reunion? Oh God, it would have been. Yeah, because I graduated. So I didn't. I

didn't get an imitation. For a second, I literally thought you graduated in ninety three because I was the year they started. Like I was on track age wise, but then the magic of television, like it didn't time out, caught up to you. I didn't go to mind, did you? Do you go to your reunions? Jenny, I've never been graduate from forgot that. I was even there for two, a year and a half, but that's okay. Wait, what happens if you move? Like, how did they find find you?

People fluid. I didn't go. Mine was last weekend. There's this little thing called facebook. I've heard about. I don't know. I'm locked on my facebook. I was invited. Like now I'm upset that I wasn't invited to my high school reunion, like we're like, oh, she'll never come whatever, screwer on the bigger and better things. I'm like, no, what about me? You would have gone hell, no, I wouldn't have. You know, I wouldn't have gotten. Why are you locked out of facebook?

I don't know. Are you even more how to use my facebook, my personal and my public account? So if anyone's like, wow, she doesn't post anything on facebook anymore, I can't. So facebook, if anyone's listening, email, who? You said you forgot password and then you like you can't remember what email I used to sign up, like it's an issue. Do you just need to swipe the slate clean and start over with facebook? But now, yeah, don't worry about it. Quick. Shout out to pony cute ponytails

with scarves when you guys were painting so cute. Quick also shout out to the fact that Luke Perry always has to have extra paint on his face and shirts, like really so perfectly splats. He likes to look like he's really been working. I don't know. For me, there were a couple of standout like takeaways from this episode, and one of them came from Um. One of the lines that Brenda says about Andrea's speech. You know, the

speech that you fast forwarded through. Um she says, even though, even if we don't end up together, it will be all right because the kind of friendships we have will last forever. And that really hit me, because the friendships that we made on that show with our fellow cast mates have lasted forever and they will last forever, even if we don't see each other or even if, you know, we're so far apart we're we'll always be together, and I thought that was so profound. And the other one

was when Andrea was giving her speech. This is the thing that really stood out for me too. No one can ever take this moment from me, no one can ever take this, takeaway this moment in time, and for me, I felt that I feel the same way, and I think I've alluded to this before on the podcast, like this is such a gift. The show and this podcast is such a gift because no one can ever take away that time that we all had together. No one

can take away what was Beverly Hills liner. Two want out for not just for us, for Tory, for me, for the rest of the cast, but for all the fans and all the friends that we made because of that show, whether they be fans or other actors or whoever. I mean that no one can ever take that away, and that was so just, I don't know, it really profound for me and I don't know, lovely how you

just said that too. And even like whether, even even though we're not all still, you know, on this planet together, like with the people that have parted, I can never take it away. M Hm and Jesus, I am so grateful for this show and for this podcast to be able to see that and like really let that sink in. So thank you a heart for making me watch the show again. Oh, it's so beautiful how you said that, that that that watching that episode was able to make

you experience and feel so grateful. That's really wow. And then and also, like for all the people that watched it and made it such a success. Like things, the way things happen. It's just crazy sometimes, and right now for all of our listeners that want to listen to the podcast, like it, so grateful, mm HMM. Makes it so awkward that I wanted to mention Jim in the hot tub. I could do without that. What do you feel? What are you feeling? Me? Yeah, what are you feeling? Um,

I don't know. She's got a lot of feelings. Um. Now, I've said this to Jim before and I said it to her recently, Um, that I don't feel like any of us being together was a coincidence. Like I definitely believe what's meant to be is meant to be and you know nothing. It's just a coincidence in life and

and just these relationships like us being brought together. It's there are on so many levels, like the friendship level, the family level, the fan level, Um, the way it changed pop culture, like it just it just I don't know. I always say like we will always be close to everyone from this cast because it's no coincidence than this lifetime we were put together, like put together for ten years. See, you know what? You know what slowly happened over this podcast?

You've changed, you've changed. You don't talk anymore about being locked in that stage and that warehouse. It's so beautiful. I just realized when we first started this you would make you were making a joke, obviously, but you would talk about it and then all of a sudden, like all the beautiful memories and the reality. It's coming out and it's nice to see that. Oh Yeah, don't you wish we could go back to that warehouse now, that story?

That was so like, I would love to all be locked back in that stage with all of us, all eight of us, right now. Me Too. I feel like Jenny, you and Tori, you know I mean. I Love I love you, but Jenny, has you found such a voice through this podcast. I kept thinking, Oh God, just from the time it started till now, like I just was listening to you talk and I'm like wow, like, and I noticed it with Jason, you and Jason when we

did that episode a few weeks ago. There was such an unspoken bond immediately and the way it almost had no words. You all can speak with no words. MHMM, yeah, yeah, grateful. I'm just grateful. I'm grateful for you guys. Grateful. Next week, you guys, episode, it's it's season four. Oh my gosh. First we go to Vegas. First we're all going to vegas. We are next to everybody listening. You guys. We're taking you to Vegas with us and it's gonna be fun and then you guys will all be back, right back.

Do you guys want me to come back for season four at what? Definitely, apparently, it's up in the air. Um, anyone, if you want to put your through, your name in the ring to be our new co host. What? Amy's Quinnina? No, no, no, no, but I want to like this. What's her favorite season? She's like, I'm out, I need to fire me. I'll fire you. It depends if you'll drink with us next week in Vegas. Stout out to the person that wrote

sugarman jump through shark. sugarman jump the shark. Someone wrote that. Actually, I took their words to heart. I'm going to work on a lot of things. Oh my God, don't you dare work on anything. Be You, stop it. I love you guys so much. It's like, Oh my God, people don't even understand, like we're all friends, really good friend. She's already drunk. Where are you? Guys? I love you. That's why when we when we meet our fans, it's not like fans that are like see a movie or

follow someone. It's like they know us, but we're okay, like it's so much better than someone being like, excuse me, misspelling, kind of Autoga. You know, they definitely see us and they're like hi, and that's what we love about it, though. We're like hi. It just makes it so normal. It normalizes the distance between fans and celebrities and it's just like there is no distance. It's like we're family to them, their family to us, and it's just it's such a

nice experience to have it that way. Wait, I wonder if it's like that, you know, when they meet like Tom Cruise or something. No, probably not. I'M gonna go out on a live and say no. Next week. I don't understand. We're going to Vegas, but we're also having okay, so we're gonna do a special episode live from Vegas and then we're going to come back the following week season for premier wait, but in Vegas. What is in

the special episode? Okay, listen, listen before we go. What happens in Vegas lives on our podcasts, so it's gonna be amazing. So definitely listen. I already have a hangover. That's like our tagline. Literally, what happens in Vegas is on a pod. Yeah, alright, guys, we'll see you next week. Let's past h
