It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Okay, we are here today for another episode of nine to an O m G. And we're in person, in person, we're in studio. We're minus sissany. That is true, but it's the two of us were in person and we are at I Heart Radio. We're here. We made it. I keep looking up. I'm obsessed. We look really good, don't. We jiggled our arms and it scared us both. Listen, listen. I've we could take over the radio. I feel like that's a possibility.
But I just feel like we should talk about how hard we hustle. How hard? Yeah, like just and I mean all women hustle hard. They do every day. Holy craky people getting all the things you have to get done in a day. I don't know how you do it. I don't know how I do it. I don't know how women do it that are multitasking between jobs, careers, kids, husband's, moms, the whole job in itself. But like, literally, yeah, I feel like moore is added to our plates daily as women,
and it's good. This is we wanted this. We wanted to work and say we could do it all and be moms, and yet at the end of the day, it's like, yeah, I don't need to say I can do it all. But I want to make a living for my family and I want to feel like I'm contributing to this is my society and like being a person that is, you know, shows up for all the people I need to show up for. But when I look at my daily calendar, something, do you do You use your calendar on your phone? Have you met me?
You don't use it. I'm starting to because we have so many things now that now that's good that I'm starting to have to use it. But you know me, it's all in my head. You're you're a writer downer, writer down. If it's not written down, you guys, I don't know what's happening. I have a I have like a calendar on my phone for my family, one for each child individually, colors you do. I've one for work, one for I have one for just my marriage, like things that we're going to do together, like keep it
on the calendar or else. I don't know what's happening. That's a good thing. I have a calendar for us, like I know, and it's but also we live in l A. Like l A is just getting nuts out now, Like you have to have fifty million jobs to even sustain here in l A. I mean that's scary. Everyone's moving out of l A. Should we move? Where should we move? To get the moving truck? I'll help you load it. Are you coming to or just me? I'm
not going to help you load your moving truck? Actually just that, And I'm not that you're gonna find another friend for that. Where would we go? Where do we go? My god? Anywhere our kids, all our animals, to have some sort of farm maybe ranch where we don't have to wear a bra or makeup and we can just like be free. I like wearing a bra. A you can wear your bra. We love our third love bras,
just those though no other bras allowed. But you have big farms somewhere, But like a beautiful house of functioning like I want, like high quality. I want like a hotel on a farm, but with two houses. Years in mind, like not in the sane. So if we were on the same property, they'll find two houses separated. H What would are she shed look like? Because we would share one. Yeah, we would have to have like a jo like a
community situation. A community, okay, but just us, one for just us, just you and I, no kids, no man, just us. Oh yeah, I like that. Like a little area, lounge, e area, somewhere we can go decompress and your side would be super neat my side would be super messy, and we accept each other. And they're be um a waiter or like a bartender, some like a j antique cabana boy just a boy girl. She heard them. I don't care what it is. Someone that helps us out
and brings us things. I need one of these. It would be nice that I wouldn't mind. I'm just saying, just look at him. Well, listen, people, it's it's nearly a miracle that we're both here on time and and uh doing this podcast. But you know what, we do it because we love it. We do it. I look forward to this every single week. I know you do too, And it's a really fun in person. This is so good in person. Thank you for having us in studio today. I heart we like it. Um, so so what do
we do we? It's weird without Sis. Can we talk about how she's in Hawaii? No, I don't want to talk about it. I want to go to Hawaii. I know, it's really not fair that she's in Hawaiian and we're not. Well, it is fair because she's about to Yeah, she's about to have a baby, and it's going to be a lot going from two to three. It's not easy. Is this like all night baby moon or whatever they call it? Like, oh, yeah,
trip before you have a kid. Is it a baby moon if you already have one and this is your second child and you take a trip or is that just you getting out of town so you don't have to I think you can sell. Like do you still get a push gift if you have a c section or if it's after your first one? Like you never got a push gift. You never got a push from your X I mean gift. I got a lot of gifts. I don't think I got I mean that. Okay, anymore calls and let us know, Oh I forgot. We're not
on air. We're not we're not living in the studio on a radio. Vel us the board and take calls right now? Do that? So yeah, we're here as you can see, with no supervision, no siss need to keep us on the rails. So it's getting a little crazy. And be like, what happened? My leadership skills are coming out. I'm feeling they need to crack the whip. We need to talk about the episode. People go for it. Let's
talk about this week's episode. Season two, episode nine, Ashes to Ashes aired on September n Synopsis Brandon be friends and new family, the Ashes, which stirs up Beverly Hills when they move in near the Walshes. Meanwhile, Jim and Cindy try out a new state of the art house alarm system which is more of a nuisance than a help. Directed by Charles Braverman, written by Darren Starr, Charles Rosen,
Judy and Mason. So, yeah, this episode was fraught with, unfortunately, something that we're still dealing with that we've always dealt with as a society. This is uh sort of systemic racism that's built into the fabric of America, and it's a pretty heavy topic. But the show really tried to do it in a light, fun way by bringing on this beautiful new family, the Ashes, into the neighborhood. They
moved into Beverly I love them. Down the street from Brendan and Brenda Richard Rowntree Province Ash Junior, such such a great addition to the cast really made it feel more well rounded and like definitely just exciting. I loved it because I think that was a big deal back then. I remember, Um, a lot of people would say on
it's you know, there's no diversity. A lot of that came up, and I think they wanted to address how that is something at the time that you know, obviously we do still deal with that unfortunately, but at the time in the nineties, you know, it was hardcore and people were very separated, and it was nicer trying to bring everyone together and diversify the cast. And it's a bummer because I know I heard word that they were
going to stay on the show the Ashes. It was gonna be the family down the Street and they were going to be regulars. Vivocate a Fox started on that show. Okay, Vivocate was so great. Is there an a still it's just Provoca Box now, I don't know, make a note, We'll find out, uh, but yeah, she was just like this just force of like energy and sass and confidence, beauty and fact like she was everything and I would have loved to continue seeing her on the show a
hundred percent she would have been a great addition. And I don't know where it went because I remember I do remember my dad saying that they were bringing them on and they were going to be regulars. And then I don't know, on your list to text Darren? All right, dar a really long text for you one day and be like, be like, who the hell is this? Imagine we're talking about Darren Starr, our creator, our creator, were
bowed him. But we always say every week like, oh, I wonder well we could just text your and ask him. You'd say, text him like I have his number. I don't even think I have his number. And ps, he's in Paris. Can slide slip whatever you want to do into his d MS any day. I'm sure, Okay, I don't I really want to do that? Um? Yeah. Or we could just book a one we ticket to Paris
like that idea. We'll show up on set and be like dar and we want to take you to lunch and then we'll have wine and go over all the questions you guys have had and that we have. Yeah, and really ruined his day because he's in Paris. He would love it. He would love it, of course, but the show starts opens with a bizarre neighborhood watch meeting that's going on in um, the Walsh's house, but they they funnily call it Jack and Candy Welsh's house instead
Jim and Cindy Walsh, the candy after my mom. Yeah maybe maybe Jack and Candy Welsh. That made me laugh. But they get they get this alarm system in their house because apparently there's been some break some Beverly Hills. I mean, it happens anywhere, it happens everywhere, but there's been big break ins in Beverly Hills right now, like in the last month. What do you mean, how do you know I've heard word? Do you know somebody's got
broken into? Uh no, but apparently like people, they were stealing people's watches off of them, like holding them up and stealing their watch and them up, Give me your watch, you lady, give me a watch. I don't. I don't think they would want my Apple watch. But maybe they're going for like the role Lexus and it keeps you on time. Um um, so yeah, that's interesting jewelry. There were breakins and houses and cars, yeah, but this is
just happening in Beverly Hills. That's happening everywhere. I mean, this is l A. This is it's weird. Sometimes you we forget I forget that we live in Los Angeles, Like this is the one of the biggest cities, the most notorious cities in the world, and people come here from everywhere. Are your dreams? Dreams? Oh? I saw someone today walking and it was a young guy and he had his hair bleached blonde, and he had a cute
outfit on and he had two small suitcases. And I was like, and he was on Hollywood And I was like, wow, he just got here, brush off the boat. Welcome to l A, Welcome to Hollywood, his dreams. And I was just like, I want to talk to that guy in five years, Like I I thought about that, like wondering dream pressure because everyone comes here thinking I'm gonna make it, this is gonna be it, and it's just so expensive here and the likelihood of making here. Sorry, it's it's
not always the dream. And he's you're a Debbie Downer. Today I turned into you ever call not on my thigh? Is that bizarre? But not teaching me with those fingernails. This is the thing about being in person. She's allowed to touch me whenever she wants, and I don't care for socially distance. Stay over there. I just want to touch you all. Sorry, Back to the show. Back to the show. So, yeah, there's a there's a whole there's a whole security thing. What else happens in this episode?
What do you remember specifically? Okay, So I gotta be honest. I had the kids when I was watching this episode, and I was doing a lot of pause, pause and watch, pause and watch. So I I thought you were about to say, I was doing a lot of pot and so I don't remember anything. Uh yeah, this this I don't remember a lot of this episode. Uh. But so the kids are at school. Dylan and Brenda seemed to be back together, which we've talked about highly confusing. We
didn't understand last week if they were, they weren't. Now they're just back. Yeah, they're back together. And then you know, what I did notice about the group interactions on the on this episode was that we as a group all just felt really comfortable with one another. There were a couple of scenes where we're all hanging out on the quad, we're hanging out the peach pit, and it just felt like, uh, the group was so comfortable with each other and like
we could feel that that strong bond. Now in season two really starting getting it because by now we were all like really comfortable with each other that So can I say we can take a break. When do we get to do that? Oh? Hey, do it? Do us? Okay? Um, you guys, I know this is riven ng what we're talking about right now, but hold your breath, not really, because we'll be right back from break. Is that okay, we're back from break, you guys? UM see what's cool
to say that? Yeah? All right, Um says he's not here. As Another thing that was going on in this episode was UM Brandon is working uh Well. First of all, he starts out finding the new photographer for the newspaper, right, and he goes into the tech room and he thinks it's going to be the you know, handsome white guy of course, but it's not UM. And that's kind of like a weird moment. I don't know why that was
even in there, but it was. UM. But Brandon is trying to clear uh DeVos reputation UM by writing an article about what happened to him in Beverly Hills that whole scene where the security patrol company sees a guy, a suspicious looking character in the Beverly Hills neighborhood and they, you know, get out and throw him on the car and risk him and do the whole thing. And it was actually like watching it made me physically ill. It
made me. It was like this horrible feeling of like I cannot believe that that was happening, and that this is happening in this episode, it's still happening today, and it's such a just like it just it disgusted me. And and if if if me being disgusted by it or me being us watching it and having a guttural, you know, sort of reaction to it, that's good. That's like what we all need to be saying. So that the show was putting that kind of content out there
in the nineties is really a great thing. It's amazing. But it's really sad to hear that thirty years later, we're still dealing with the same thing, and it's it's even worse now, to be honest, I mean, it is worse. Absolutely, Are you what is this your she was she's a book and she's reading from it. I don't think you. We want to talk about this book because this is this book. This is a book. It's like a book that someone said at me called a very special mind
to want a book. It's unauthorized that it clearly states right here, right under my face, right there behind under you know. It's by Tara Ranio and Sarah D. Bunting um not to to like, you know, I don't know. I haven't really read the book. I just kind of looked like it has episode by episode. But the funny thing is they kind of recap episodes and they um,
they also talked about a lot of everything. So it's fun to read for me because they say the things that maybe people were thinking or that you know, they they clearly have a great love for the show. The people did this book, but they also have a very firm grasp on reality. We should have them on the show. We should. Did they send you this book? They did not. One of the one of our listeners sent it to me. None of our listeners send me anything. They send you
a lot speaking. I got a message from Crystal, one of our favorite ladies out there, did for you. She um, She sent me some information on Susan Brown, who played Mrs Cooper who was in the in the one of the Beverly Hills Ladies. Um. She was close friends with her, and she told me that Susan just passed away. She was eighties six. Maybe you remember Susan um Brown from her work on General Hospital or Port Charles. She was
a really wonderful actress. And Um, I just want to say thank you to Crystal for sending in that intel because I love getting that kind of information. Thank you, so thank you Susan for everything in a beautiful life you lived. So can we go back now to how come listeners love you and send you gifts and awesome
things for the show and names? It's two things. That's two more things than anyone's ever So maybe they have sent you things you just they're like, you know, I can imagine maybe you haven't opened all the boxes or packages that you every day your well there you go, or Bo does Bo rips into everything. He loves a good package. Anyway. UM, I would love to just announce my address right now. There's anything that you would like to send me. Um, Oh, don't be jelly, I'm not kidding.
These gifts if you get that book on Amazon though, that is very helpful. Well, yeah, I don't know if you like it. There's it's talked about me, talked about everybody, and like the characters mostly Yeah, I mean there's an handle it. Yeah, you think, I think you have some experience. So let's talk about fashion from this episode. Okay, let's like I said, Saris Reesy, her friends called her, really was fashionable and just like you know, she put together.
She looked sassafrass all the time. Well, um, I liked my polka dot dress. But it's not you wearing the polka dots. It's actually your friend right there, David Silver, wearing the polka dots. That's right, that's correct. So you really liked him a lot. It's as if he wore were Actually, you know, I knew I was going to marry that man on camera. I loved Reese's red blazer with her matching hat. And then of course there was Mrs Ashe coming down the stairs in that beautiful white.
I don't know where she was going, but that was a beautiful white, like Bob Mackie situation. She was a right very Beverly Hills has portray in the nineties. I wonder if that was like a leftover from like Nolan Miller's like fabulous Dynasty collection, and they're like, okay, let's get it over here. They got they went into the folder pads, the vaults, and she just fits right into it like a glove. Beautiful. What about your favorite line
from the episode? Um, we already know. You know what I was gonna say, don't ever call me recy, but Gary said it, Uh, Brandon's your dad is the papa Papa's popcorn? Yeah, it's like Sally selling seashells. But you think he got through that line in the first take. There was a lot of Papa's popcorn discussion and this, and I have to say that one because Donna loves popcorn and wanted to put yogurt on it. More dairy.
That's your deal with the She's a daring girl. I can't eat d I brought you some yogurt this morning. You did breakfast. But you'll see that that is coconut. It's dairy free. I know, but back then I could eat dairy. I wasn't lot those intolerant anything that was sad. Okay. My favorite line from the episode would be from Cherise when she says, I wouldn't go to West Beverly if it was the last hell hole in the galaxy. Too many cashed up snobs. Snobs. That's fun, it's fun to
talk about that episode. But I think, what do you think if we if we take a break maybe and come back with some questions from our listeners. Yes, let's do that. We love listener questions. Do you love witty sarcasm and talking fast? And are you longing to return to stars Hollow for one more trip to Kim's Antiques or just to pick up a few things at Dosie's Market? Is an overnight stay? It's a dragon flame on your list of plans for a getaway? Is it burger from
Luke Steiner on the menu for tonight? This is Scott Patterson. I was Luke Danes for one fifty three episodes and in four Netflix movies I Am all In and I Heart Radio podcast. Come hang with us. We're read watching together, We're visiting with all our favorite cast and crew members. We talk fast. We've got a lot to say. Listen to I Am all In wherever you listen to podcasts. Let's take some questions. How about we take a question
from Stacy um I'll read it. Okay. Were you ever upset with any of the cast members that left the show? Were you upset with them for leaving? Did you feel abandoned? Was there anyone on the cast you tried to convince to stay? Mm hmmm, I mean obviously it was. It was difficult when Jason left. That was hard because the show really started around the Walshes and Shannon was gone, and then when Jason left, it just felt like the
core of the show. Well, it was weird enough when Shannon left like that was like, you know, fraught with all kinds of like controversy and rumors and all of that. But it was weird when she wasn't there, of course, and then Jason, I think, was the next one to leave. Like you said, I think Luke had left, but then Luke came back. I remember begging back, okay, it was so nice to have him about, you know. I remember just being like, please just come back to the family.
I think he ish what we started. I think he left before Jason, really, I think so. But once Jason left, that was it. He was gone. No looking back, No, no, it was that the ninth season he left. Geez eight. I don't know, but right around there. Yeah, somebody out there knows. I'm sure when we look like idiots because we don't. No, I mean, we didn't keep track of that, but it was just it was just it felt like and then you got to move up to number one.
You were number one, remember that that she's talking about On the call sheet there you your names are listed and it starts with like the first star, the first one that gets the top billing, and that was Jason, and then it was Shannon, and then it was me for something that I don't even know why. I was number three from the get go. So yeah, when one and two left, I became number one. And the best part about that as I got number one parking spot. She did, she did, and I was like, yes, I'm
really exciting. I never felt jealous. I was really happy before you. Yeah, that was like you lived up to what did you move up to? Oh my gosh, well you guys. I wasn't originally like a regular kind of not in the pilot. So anyway I got I was lower. I was eight, I think, Yeah, well oddly with seven, that's even odd. It gets weird at the end because
he wasn't regular in the first in the pilot. So anyway, so I don't know if we felt abandoned Stacy, but we definitely felt the impact of our fellow cast members leaving and leaving for whatever reason. It's going on to do different things or they just had enough of it or whatever it was. But yeah, I mean it was like sending someone off to college or you know, having
someone move away that. Yeah, it was really hard, and you know, of course it made all of us think, like we do they know something we don't know they're getting that now is now all the time to get out? But it was like week you can leave, you can just do the sleep. They let you out of the padded cell that you always say here, and who has the key? Like Jason got out, he made it out.
Oh my god, Clox, Well, I feel like that's all the time we have to We have more questions, but we should probably get to those next week because we're running to the end of our time. But yeah, thank you for watching. What's our next episode? I don't know, thank you guys for watching this show along with us
because we're having so much fun. Um. The next episode is Necessity is a Mother Season two episode ten, very exciting because this is the episode where we meet Iris Mackay, Stephanie Beacham, you guys, and we might just get to talk to her fingers cross. Very exciting. Have a great week, you guys. Go out there and do your thing. Bye bye,
