There you are, there, you are wonderful to do you. I was such a close friend of your dad's. I want to hear all about that because my dad loved you so much, and of course I miss him every day. So I was excited to ask you about your relationship with my father and I had a great relationship. In fact,

I was just looking at a gift. You gave me a beautiful silver tray for our first We did many many shows together. Do you remember the first show you did with him? You know, I don't. I don't. I know you guys worked. Were you on the Love Boat? No? I wasn't on the Love Boat. Okay, of all the ones I could have chosen, I chose the wrong one. No, that was when I didn't do Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island, I did yes with some of the other beginning ones.

Oh my gosh, Mod Squad, Charlie's Angels, Um Star Skiing, hutch Um, t J. Hooker, Yeah, hold a whole lot. Um. He was the best. He was such a great guy. Thank you so much. Yes, I missed them all the time. I have five kids of my own, and they never fi I mean, this is these are yours. You pushed them out. Okay. In all fairness, lady, I did not push them out, but they all were. They grew in my belly and I had five seats. Action. Oh god, that's wonderful. It's a it's a very loud house all

the time. It's very busy, but it's always fun. That's great. How old is the eldest He is fourteen. My oldest son, Liam is fourteen. So I have a four year old, a third year old, a nine year old, an eight year old, and a four year old. You've been busy, my dear. I was very busy for quite some time. Yeah. So, okay, I just want to know you played um grandma Rose Rose Decrament Andrey's grandmother. Um. How did that come about? Did my dad just ask you to would you do?

He asked me to just come on the show and I said okay, and he said I was somebody's grandmother. I said, oh god, I don't want to do that. But then I had so much fun. You know, it was a great cast. I was watching it today and I thought, Wow, what a great show. It was ahead of its time. It really was. That was so intelligent

and so rich. I loved it. I loved seeing it again today the same so my best friend Jenny, who's not on with us today, we is the first time in thirty years that we're actually watching the show back, and now that we have teenagers of our own, it's like it's crazy we're watching it as fans now, like it's it's a whole new show for us, a whole new experience. Well, I think that's the way it's coming

across for everybody. I mean, it's so contemporary and it's so uh it was just so imagining imagination, the imagination what you put out there or what was put out there was so today, so so relevant. Right. We only get dated when you see the cell phones and the house phones we used, But I missed them same. I actually see you were on your phone just now. I have a landline. People say to me, you have a landline? Does that even exist? And I have a landline, Like, yeah,

you gotta have one for emergencies. You do this show with with with Jenny every Yeah, we do it every week. We watch back an episode each week, um and then we talk about it. So it's pretty it's pretty cool to be able to see it because you know what, you know what we have found out and the same thing you just said, it's relevant still because teens have the same issues, you know, they always have the same issues. It's just a different decade now, It's true, it's a

little more, a little more twisted. Now. Yeah, I guess right, But yeah, I have a twenty two year old granddaughter and two six year old granddaughter grandchildren that are also what did you call them, Irish twins? Irish twins yet or within one year? And the and then um I have uh uh thirty what do I have? I forgot? No, that's it, that's it. And I have a fifty year

old daughter. So wait, okay, so I gotta know because I can't wait to be a grandma one one day and have just like big family, traditional like meals and gatherings. What is the big difference between being a mom and a grandmother? Well, you don't have the responsibility that you had as as a mother. You have some of them, but you also have the most of the joys and none of the sirts. You know, it's none of the problems.

They come by your way. You you, you're you. You kind of try and deal with them, uh, with your daughter or your son or your you know, your family, but they're not your total responsibility and you don't have the final decisions to me. And I like that, And I'll show you from different back to the end of the day, right, fill them up with sweets so they love you and give him back. Yeah, my mom, My mom used to get the kids. Like she would come over with the giant chocolate bars and like, how did

you even find those? It was like the big Hershey bars that were this big. She'd give one to each of them. I'm like, Mom, what do you mean, Like you raised two kids, like you know you can't do this, so you have you have? She has two children? Yes, my brother and I brother. Yes, Um, okay, I mean I want to talk nine O two and oh, but I got to get into your career because you have the most amazing career. I mean, your musical career alone

is ginormous. Um. How do you feel about like after the pandemic and everything like slowly starting to go back to normal. Well, I started booking myself and in certain venues I want to sing. I have to sing. It's who I am, you know, it's it's like a part of me, and so I have to sing. And uh, it's more exciting when you're when you're not alone and singing to yourself. It's more thrilling when there's somebody experienced the story with you. And uh, that's my that's my

joy in life. That's what I am, That's who I am as an actor. I enjoy it. It's fun for me and I've had great success. Um, but it's not the thing that propels me. That definitely going. Do you sing every single day, even if it's just in the shower alone a little bit, a little bit, Oh my gosh, can come over and just be in your kitchen and hear you sing Mama, my mom ma, what I'm dying right? Sorry, a little horse today. I'll take it. You're amazing on any day. Oh my gosh. So we want there's a career.

You know. There are young people that don't even know I sing. It's very it's devastating, it's truly, it's it's I I can't believe it. They'll say, you see, oh, I didn't know what you're saying. They think, oh, you're just an active what do people recognize you the most from my big February wedding, you were so brilliant in that. Oh thanks, you know, we're doing number three. Number three is coming out. No, yeah, yeah, we're doing number three, and I think in Greece we we're trying to right now,

it's some it's on whole because of the pandemic. Right we're trying to. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, fans will be so excited. Does everyone know there's gonna be a three? Did you just break the news right here on nine? O two? One? O? MG? It will not really, I can't lie. Can we pretend you told me first? I did? Yeah, I'll be like Barbara Walters, I got the breaking story for once. It's so adorable. And wait,

so you went to high school with Barbara Streisson. I went to the same school, was a little bit before her when she rest saw high school. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. And then you ended up okay, wait, am I going to get this right? You were her understudy and funny funny girl. Holy moly, that's crazy. Yes I was, Yes, I was. It was a very difficult year and a half, you know, to wait for somebody to get sick and pray and pray that they get sick. It's like all

about eve. It is. It is. But it was interesting because I got she you know, she talked, she believed me. She taught me so much because I watched her career and I watched her, you know, become this star and she handled it so brilliantly. And I could never have done that. And I was a couple of years older than she was, but I could. I could never have done what she did. She was an amazing nineteen she was Wow. Well you know it was and I was there, you know, at the very beginning of it all. And

so and I'm very friendly with Elliott. You know, it's Elliott Gould and we're on the board together, and it's just it's been a strange and wonderful time. But I, you know, I I my career has taken another another path. And what what do you mean? In what way? I mean? I I've played other roles and you know, too much more mature roles and a lot of a lot of wonderful community things that I I've been invited to play.

But I always wanted to have a a starring singing role, you know, I've always wanted that, and that didn't come my way. Well let's manifest it right now, all right, What are we gonna do? Oh? My gosh, you could, you could do anything. So you want a starring singing role, like, now, okay, let's do it. Come on, come on, come on, Okay. So we're putting it out there. Lady Dan wants a

starring singing role. She's an amazing actress and you're such a genius comedian like I love your comedic work and um, but she wants to sing, like obviously she that's how she started. So we're gonna put it out and it's going to happen, okay, And they're only one thing. When it happens. Okay, Well, when it happens, will you just give me a cameo in it? Just like I will give you anything. You are done, my friend, done and done. So okay, I have a question. Out of all the

musicals you were in, what was your favorite one? Uh? Gypsy so brilliant. Yeah, that's a great part. And I knew ethel you live. Nick short to me. It's a Madison Hotel in Manhattan and my room was next to hers, and I so always I wanted to say, oh, you know, I always wanted to just call her out. Oh my gosh, she was unbelievable. You were so iconic. I remember when they said you were coming on Beverly Hills, and I know too. I just I think we all were in shock.

We were like, she's gonna do our show? Why would she do our show? Like it was shocking, I mean, amazing, thank you, but we were so humble that you would do that and be on our show. Whose grandmother was that? Andrea? Gabrielle Cartera. She became a fierce she's our sagator negotiator. Yes, yes, I love seeing her in action. Um, hearing her because we did the reboot of nine o two and a

couple of summers ago bho and um. She was always on the phone, like in between takes, dealing with things, and I would just like sit there and just listen because it was so fascinating, Like that's my friend. I grew up with her. Oh my gosh, she's our sag president. Now this is so cool. Yeah. When's the last time you talked to Gabrielle? Um? Look about a year ago? Really? Yeah, Oh my gosh. That was such a highlight for her to have you play her grandmother. She still talks about it.

It was very dear, she actually, and it was very dear to me, but we had a real contentious relationship because of politics, which is sad, but that's the way it goes. Okay, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll get right into the episode. M okay, Well, if it's okay with you, we're going to dive into the episode, all right, if that's cool. I could talk to you all day about your life, which I'd rather do. But what we've going to talk to about my life?

Whatever you want to talk about. But where we are here to talk about Beverly Hills and nine o two and now, so I'm gonna jump into it. Um so this is episode season two. Um sorry, Oh my gosh, I lost my place. I never host this alone, so this is like scary for me today, but I have you. I'm super grateful. Okay, So today we're talking about season two, episode nineteen, called Fire and Ice. It aired its original

air date was January ninth. Synopsis is Brandon becomes a pleasant distraction for a figure skater with Olympian goals and backstabbing is sorry and I need to put on my glasses. Man, tell me who is the girl who played the ice skater? I could not find her name. Gabrielle Anwar. She was wonderful. She was great. I need to look at what she did. She was she did a big feature and she and then she was on our show and I was like,

oh lucky us. Um okay sorry. Synopsis Brandon becomes a pleasant distraction for a figure skater with Olympian goals and backstabbing is included in Brenda's tutoring of her new retail sales skills. Director Jeff Melman, who we loved working with writers Darren Starr, Steve Washerman and Carol Sawder. Carl Sauder Sorry I don't know him. UM. Starring the cast of and I Don't You Want To UM, guest star was Gabrielle Annemar as Tricia Kinney. Um. So this was so.

Jason Priestley, who plays Brandon Walsh, UM is Canadian, so he has hockey in his blood. Um, he's an amazing hockey player. So this episode he got to show off his skills. I'm sure this was probably one of his happiest memories on the show because he got to escape the whole episode. UM. I'm wondering though, if Gabrielle Anwar did her own skating. I don't know, because she was really good, and I feel like, what do you what

do you think? I feel like there were too many close ups where you actually saw her kind of doing it. Is that what she Maybe that's what she is. She's a skater. She was I'm trying to remember the movie. You know what the movie was. Okay, she was in a movie with al Pacino. That's what she became famous for. It, uh, the scent of a woman. So she was probably like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna blow up as a major movie star. But I filmed this TV show and here

I am in one episode. But she was great. And then of course the other boys got out on the ice, so Brandon got Steve and Dylan on the ice, but they were terrible. His friends were terrible, and his dad, Jim was coaching them. So there was that, and then we have that storyline obviously. Oh my god, do you ever see the movie Ice Castles? Oh? Yeah, I love that movie. I love that movie. Growing up, that was my one of my favorite movies. And I wanted to

be a figure skater because of that movie. I actually took figure skating lessons and um I used to go after school and do it, and I was like it was too much for me. It was a lot because if you want, if you want to be serious, you have to do exactly what she does. You have to like be on the ice by five thirty am every day. Um so yeah. Well, I was from Brooklyn and we ice skated all the time. As soon as the Prospect

Park Lake was frozen, we were on the ice. In fact, I had a trainer training training things that had four little you know, um little ice whatever you call him, and I would go on these a little tiny ice skates and my mom would take me down in my snowsuit. It was great. I loved I loved ice skating, and as I grew up, I I skated all the time. I never thought of it as a profession. I thought of it as something that was just a little isious, wonderful thing to do for the afternoon. That's great, And

um there's little outfits though. I always wanted to wear those outfits, that cute outfits where I'm roller skating too. I'm terrible roller skating, in my opinion, harder than ice skating. Why, I don't know, I'm terrible at it, Like I cannot stand up on roller skates, which to me doesn't make sense because I'm like, there's four wheels, like that should be easier, like the other there's two blades. But I can maybe because the wheels continually wheel, they roll and

it's frightening. You can't stop unless you you know the particient at it. Yeah, and I don't think now, like she speaks about center of gravity um on the show, meaning like she when she eats, she can't eat because she has to keep her center of gravity and they don't let her eat, They don't let her do anything. This character right, Um, I have really big boobs and I have a really big butt, so the same girl. So when I'm on roller skates, I'm like, I can't

even stand. I'm either going forward or I'm going backwards. Oh god, you know that's funny. Uh you're growing up with big boobs and big big tush? Is it very difficult? Well, I mean it's probably a different story for you, Landy. I I chose to have the big boobs you made. You made them. Well, I didn't like d I y them, but I bought them. Yeah, and you put them in. You had them put in? Yeah, I had them put him And how how are you doing with that now?

Not good, Landy, not good at all, because they're recalled and they're expired. So I got lemons. I have like a lemon of a car, but a lemon of tips. Didn't have to have them pick it out. Yeah, but no one ever told me when I got them, because I was a young girl, they would expire. Yeah that. Oh you know, you should probably change them every ten years. It's now been twenty years. You know. I was in a yoga class and I was sitting next to a

woman who will show remain nameless. She was a great dancer, and she all of a sudden screamed, oh my god, and her breast popped open. Well yeah, yeah, and this this fluid came running out how to take it to the hospital, and she had to have it or moved right then and there. It became hard like a rocket at first, like expired, expelled this fluid and then just locked up like a rock, and she was in so much pain. I'll never forget that. And I thought, oh my god, I'm so glad that I did never had

to do that or never thought about it. You know, it wasn't my thing. I was born that way. Oh, Wow, Like, what post was she doing that she talked to Boom. We were just lying, you know, down, taking a little nap. Oh my gosh. And she's clearly someone famous because you're not naming her, right Yeah yeah, uh wow, I guess. I guess that happens, and it has not happened to you in twenty years. No. I mean, their hardest rocks,

but you have to have them. I do another other ones put in, you know, and I'm gonna go smaller though, because if I had it all to do over, I feel like, um, boobs aren't fashionable. I just don't think implants are fashionable. I don't think they wear clothes. Well, I'm limited on what I can wear because I feel like it looks too much. And it was, you know, it was the early two thousand's when I did it, or nineties or something like that. So you're a young girl,

I was. I've actually had them done twice. In all fairness, I did it once. Yeah, I did it on the show. Um. I was really good friends with Shannon Doherty who played Brenda, and she got them and we were in Hawaii and I was like that, your new boobs looks so good, and she was like, you should get years done. I was like, I should get mine done, okay, and I did, and then they it was they were bad. I went to like a strip mall doctor, though, did I did? I don't even know why I should have gone to

Shannon's doctor instead. I went. I had a bad boyfriend at the time, and his best friend was dating a stripper and she was like, oh, I went and got mine done here. Um and literally when I when I showed up, the doctor was in a strip mall and I went through with it. Oh my god, Yeah, I'm putting me on. I swear I'm not putting you on. And you didn't feel threatened by that. I didn't understand. I was like, okay, maybe you know I'm a girl

from Beverly Hills. We we know Cedar SINAI you know that's it, Like I know the hospital, Like maybe this is where people get their boobs done. It was in l A. It wasn't like I went to some country to do it or anything. U Quana. I might as well Landy, I might as well gone to Tijuana and gotten my boots done. I don't know how this conversation got off on implants, but here we are so wow. Um moving on, so okay. So we love the storyline with the ice skating. We love her, you find her delicious,

them delicious together. And then we have Brenda, who is Brandon's twin sister. Um, she's working at a she she Beverly Hills retail store and um, and she has a cutthroat box. What did you think of that storyline? I liked it. It showed a different side of Brenda because Brenda is a Midwest girl. She's the good girl, um, the girl next door. And all of a sudden, she's like be kind of becoming kind of the mean girl, right because she's getting brought up by this this woman

who's trying to turn her into a retail like Maven. Yeah, I don't like that woman. Now she's good, she is good. Um, And we filmed this. So we filmed this and it was a really famous store at the time called Tracy Ross. Do you remember that store Sunset Plaza on Sunset And yeah, it was like the big Store. I always try to compare it to something that anyone listening will know, and

I don't know how to compare. I don't know. My mother used to go to Lily Ruben, which was a famous store in New York Comolutely Ruben, and so it was kind of like that, you know they had. It was kind of like a habitash tree for women. Habitash. Oh my, I like that word. Can that bear word for the day? A new word? I just learned a new word. Um, yeah, hundred and ninety perfume. That was very That would be four now, I know, I know.

I was thinking the same thing. I was like when the price tag Hunter nine, IM like, it's actually not bad. It would right, it would have been yeah, but it wasn't like Chanelle or something. It was. It didn't even have a designer name, just a designer label Price, And that's like not good. So David who Donna and David I played Donna. Um, they're starting to date on the show and we actually, sorry spoiler alert, um go on to be like the couple of the show. And tenth

season final episode we get married. That's how the whole show. So right now, it's young puppy, love you you got you married? Who David Silver played by Brian Austin Green um And in real life, Um, I was actually in love with Brian Who were I was that must have been wonderful for the show. Probably I didn't work out for you. We're still really good friends. That's nice. Yeah, we're really good friends. And you know, it was it was.

It's such a wonderful thing when that chemistry is real on on on the show or you know, in a movie. I still don't know if they we've did that way because they kind of knew what was happening off camera. Oh that was happening before. So that was first. Yeah, from the moment we met, there was something. Yeah, we were like we were both sixteen, you know, and well, you know how men and women see things very different. Like if you ask Brian to tell the story would

be very different coming from him. I tell the story, it's very different coming from me. Um. But um, yeah, he was definitely my first love in real life. Oh so beautiful true story. And I was still married to your your your first husband, your first and only. I have been married two times. Who are your children from? Um? My second husband, my current husband, all of them? All of them. Yeah. I didn't have kids with my first husband. We were only married one year. It didn't it wasn't right.

My whole life, I dated like the bad boys always these like hot actors that didn't treat me right. Um. And then I actually met my first husband doing a play that he wrote. Um. It was a two person play that ran at the Cornet Theater in Los Angeles, and he was very different. He was a writer and smart and funny and a nice I. So I was like, this is where I should be and thirty, I should do this. I don't regret it, though, because my dad got to walk me down the aisle and that was

really important. And if I hadn't have married that guy, I wouldn't have had my dad walked me down the aisle because he passed away before I got married to my second husband. Oh he never made your children. Oh I'm sorry me too, but he knows. I know. I'm sure I showed them pictures and it's crazy. My youngest bow, who is four, reminds me so much of my dad,

like his all of his characteristics. And I actually did a show, um last year, a quarantine show where um, I dressed my son up as Aaron Spelling and it's really cute. He has a fake pipe and a gray wig. It's hilarious. And he's hiring me for nine O two and oh because that was like a big joke that I actually auditioned for nine o two and oh and I went in. I had my agents send me in under a different name, really, as if they wouldn't know. And yeah, that was a big joke. And I'm like,

that's my story. I'm sticking to it. Yeah. Oh here, it's a little wonderful. It's just wonderful. What are you doing these days? Tell me about you? What am I doing? Oh? My gosh, um, well, mommy five kids. It's a job in itself. I am. I'm doing a new show for MTV called Messiness. Um. It's a really fun clip show, um where we get to like make funny comments. And I love doing comedy comedies my jam even though I was on a drama for ten years, but I love

comedy and and yeah it was changed. Oh stop, she was should we start dancing? Should we take a dance break? Um? He was on the show for ten years. The show ran for ten years. Yeah, and it would have kept going, but we I think we were all at the point where we were like, we want to leave on a high note and not have you know, in our business, they call it jumping the shark and We're like, we don't want to get to that point. But now I look at Grey's Anatomy, Who's I think, are they in

their nineteenth season? I probably have that never wrong, but I'm like, so, yeah, ten years was like we could we should have just kept going. Yeah, I didn't know it was that long. Did you get bored tired of it? When you're tired of it? You know what? I never was. I I mean I think as an actor, of course, like you want to do other things, um, But I never There wasn't a day that I went to work that I didn't want to be there. Ever, and it happened.

I'd see it happened to several cast mates that went on to do they left the show, um, and went on to do other things. But and I always thought like, oh, that's really a bummer because I love my job, like I love I'm here every day. Like Jenny and I who she co hosts the show with me, we were both there all ten seasons, um, and yeah, I could have kept going. And looking back, I'm like, I wish we would have kept going. Like Donna and David got married, I want to see, like did they have kids, Like

what happened, What happened next? What did happen? Okay? So well, then there was another show, the one we don't speak of. I'm just kidding. Um. That wasn't our creation like it was in Beverly Hills two. It was just another show called nine O two one oh, and Jenny and I were both on that show, um as guest stars. Jenny did a lot of episodes of that show. I did

two episodes, but they had our characters. It was like a spinoff, so it was like a whole new cast of young people and then some of the older people. And I was on it as Donna and I and David and I were married and I had a daughter and I brought her onto the show. Her name is Ruby. A baby Anyway, it was all different storylines. So Jenny and I when we created b H nine two O, which is the real spinoff that we did a couple of summers ago. Um, we decided to have all different storylines.

Like we were like, we're going to pretend that other show didn't happen and just go like how we would want the show to continue. But that show only went one season, so we never got to show how the show continued next year. Do you hear that Netflix? Next year? No? I don't know. I was just manifesting. Yeah. Now, it was great to be back together with everyone though. It's it's so much fun. We literally have the best time because we watched the episodes back and sometimes we remember

doing them, sometimes we don't. And then it's crazy like this episode that you and I are doing today, I don't even remember filming that episode, this one. Yeah, maybe what you wanted apparely, so maybe that's why you are a storyline. That's right. So maybe that's why I wasn't A. I wasn't B. I wasn't even seiri. It was just it was just a couple of scenes. But it was. It was it was. It was a good show. It

was put together very well. I thought, Wait, here's a fun fact about this episode, Brandon, who we were talking about. Jason Priestley gets a cut on his left cheek and the right side of his bottom lip in a hockey accent. Both cuts appear in certain scenes and then they're gone in other scenes. Right, that's what you saw, and it's on his lip as well that I didn't know see you spotted it. I didn't, did I was looking at him. He's some he's a lovely thing to look at. Yeah, yes, yes,

yeah yeah. So he played hockey in real life. So he got an accident playing hockey. Wowesting very interesting. Can we talk fashion because nineties fashion was a very specific decade and now it's all coming back. I know, it's not crazy. I walk into like Target with my kids and my daughter's like, mom, so this is what's in right now, and I'm like, I know, like I want to say, like, yeah, we we helped create that look, but okay, I just let her tell me about it.

And it's it does make me feel like I'm getting old though, when styles start to come back, I know, but this is my third round. I'm back again and then again and then again in right. See. But I keep my clothes, you know, if I have, I have really good clothes, so I keep them and and after a while I see it's starting to come back. Just a little something different about it, but it's basically it's the same. I have beautiful jackets that I've worn like

thirty forty years ago. I swear to god it They're in my closet. Oh my gosh. Okay, so I'm the same way I keep everything. And my husband used to say, like, you haven't worn this in years, Like, why don't you give it away? I'm like, okay, like I got back. I'm like, it will come back. Vintage always comes back, like it does. I mean, it wasn't vintage when I started wearing it, but it's vintage now and it does. But you're right, it's always tweaked a little bit little bit. Yeah,

and it's not as good as the original. Never nothing as original, because it's it's it's the quality of the good are changing. That's true. Okay, Leaney, we are going to take a quick break and when we come back, we are going to talk fashion. M hm. So fashion wise in this episode, were there any things they stood out to you that you liked? Not really, I didn't notice the fashion too. Too many hockey outfits I saw. I was a fan of Brenda's hat. She didn't wear

hats much on the show. I liked it. She wore a black hat. Yeah. Those haven't come back into style yet. No, No, no they haven't. They will. Everything comes back. Um, were there any lines that you liked from the episode? Well? Are you? Are you speaking lines? No? I couldn't say there was one line or two lines that you know, stood out for me, except I like something about her burrito. It was her first burrito, poor thing, right, that's inhumane. I'm sorry she was gonna he was gonna come back

and get that burrito for her. M because that that was gonna happen. You know, you think that would be an extra storyline. Imagine one and done. That was it. Brandon will be on to someone else. Um, yeah, she said, I'll always remember you as the guy who gave me my first person That's so sweet kind of like, is that how you want to be remembered, is the guy

that gave someone the first burrito? Like, yeah, no, but at least she still be remembered when she's a big star, when she was her gold medal, right, exactly that guy who gave her her first burrito. Figure skaters have such short careers, though, don't say. Yeah, that's the scary thing. And they worked so hard for so long and there's so much, so much training. Oh my lord. Yeah, she like missed down in her whole childhood and then her

career will be over by the time she's thirty. What's the point, I know, what is the point I'm not sure, so I'm gonna move on, okay. Um. I liked when my character said sorry sometimes I like my own lines where she thought the first thing she should try is gum Brandon goes, Donna comes not a food. I was like, well, I don't care. Come, I love your character on the show. Thank you. Yeah, you're you're fabulous. We're not that different

my character and I, No, you're not. Except I like really dirty humor, like I have a very body side of me. That's okay. Yeah, yeah, it's so funny because Buddy Hackett was the dirtiest comedian I ever knew, and I've worked with him in Vegas, you know. And the other day I got a letter in the mail from Sherry Hackett and it had no address on it. It was from his wife, and inside there was a little note saying I found this when I moved to Arizona.

And she put too pictures of Buddy Hackett and me in this envelope that had no address, And somehow it got to me. Don't ask me, but it just said Lady Kazanne, Los Angeles. And I'm so overwhelmed to think that it got to me. I couldn't believe it. So I open this up and I just remembered the evening, and I remembered a Buddy Hackett because on Sundays he would ride his bicycle past my house and throw in a salamie. What my garden. He just throw a salamie

in my house every every Sunday, a big salami. And it was hilarious. It was so funny. He was the funniest, dirtiest man. It would just make me laugh and it was the most body humor. You would have loved him. Did you ever see him? I did. My dad was really really close with him, so we used to go over to their house in Beverly Hills all the time. Oh God, And yeah, I grew up with him and he was amazing. I mean, obviously I didn't know his sensibility at the time. I was a kid. But he

was just a very very kind, fun man. It was like and his son did very well for a while. True, but I'm still fascinating he threw a salami into he would throw a salami to my house. Was there any significance? Did you like salami? No? But you know, Jewish salamie was a thing for me. That's an amazing story. Did you eat it? Yeah, I aloud ate it. Imagine you just have all these salamis if he didn't, I love salami. Yeah, but but it was so funny because I just said,

it's just when you said body humor. What got me the body is And he would try he would ride his bike and throw it. Yeah, he said he would take a little bicycle ride around the neighborhood because I lived in Beverly Hills. Then that's amazing. Yeah, I love that. And and by the way, like everyone listening to the show probably has no idea who we're talking about, which is really sad. But that was like my childhood. Oh my gosh. Yeah, he was really very funny, funny man,

and he had a huge audience. I mean, people loved him. But odd that people don't know who he was. But it's like, you know, you come, you go, you you're over mm hmmm. I mean and the mail got to you. You know why, because you're you're uber famous, unbelievable or an icon. You really are. You must be a huge gay icon too. The gays must love you. Oh my gosh. I was just last night at um like a little

rap party in West Hollywood for RuPaul's Drag Race. That was the season finale aired, and it was all drag queens and gays and I was in my elements and I'm sure if I walked in there with you, they would just love us. Oh my gosh, double double duty. We'll have to go to a gay bar one day. We have to do that. Oh my god, Oh my god, you guys. So lady Sam and I are going to be at the abbey next Thursday night. Come on by. Oh that fun.

I can't just get up and do it. So one night I was at Michelle's house and everybody was getting up and doing their routine, and I my coat was up there by the by the microphone, and I said to the housekeeper, because you're doing me a favor, and could

you pick up that red coat? And I just put the code on and I left because I get so scared. I get so nervous. I can't do that. I can't impromptu. I'm not I'm not an imprompted person. That's crazy.
