Alright, completely changing. What am I looking, what’s the word I’m looking for?
Direction here. I saw a couple stories that I wanted to talk about. Two health related stories. Number one, Anthony Anderson. Very popular. He was on Blackish. He’s been in a lot of TV shows, but he was talking about a health scare that he had back in 2007. He was working on a show called Kil in New Orleans, and he said he was eating nothing but seafood and shellfish and he ended up getting gout.
And for those that don’t know, gout is when. Your uric acid levels rise and seafood and shellfish. Shellfish are two of the biggest culprits, and it causes crystal to form in your bloodstream and it usually usually get gout in your feet. Well, I can tell you this, I. I’ve had gout flareups and it was because I was eating, this was back a couple years ago.
I would get them when I ate too much fried food at one time. ’cause that also is one of the major things that causes it. And he was talking about it and he said, if you look at it, you look at your foot, it looks red hot. If you put your hand above it, you can feel the heat coming off it. And it’s caused by severe attacks of pain and swelling and redness and tenderness in one of your joints.
Most often, the big toe and an attack of gout can occur suddenly, often waking you up in the middle of the night with a sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen, and so tender that even the weight of the bed sheet on it may seem intolerable. Trust me, I have had a gout flare up in the past.
And you would think that somebody took a shotgun to my foot and blew a bullet hole through my big toe, and it’s just from eating poorly. Now I have not had a gout flare up in over three years, and I also take preventative gout medicine. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I’ve also, you know, eat way better now than I used to.
But reading that story, I remember that specifically ’cause. I didn’t understand what it was, but you look at your foot and my big toe would be so red and the rest of my foot would look normal, but then my toe was like gl. It looked like Rudolph. I’m like, this is so weird. And he’s not lying. Or this medical website isn’t lying.
When they say, just putting the bed sheet, not the comforter, just one sheet. Putting that sheet, which weighs what? Nothing. A bedsheet is the weight of like air. Basically just putting my bedsheet over my foot was excruciating pain. And then forget walking. I literally had to walk on the side of my foot. I could not touch my big foot to the ground.
It hurts that bad. So I am 100% with Anthony Anderson here about gout. It is awful and I never. Knew I the first two times I had it. I didn’t even know it was gout. I didn’t, I thought like maybe I broke my toe, but no, it was gout. It is an awful, awful pain. I don’t wish it upon my worst enemy. Some other health related issues that popped up yesterday, Voco, why can’t I pronounce his name?
Koski Koski from Dancing With the Stars, passed a kidney stone. In Spain on the flight back home, and he took a picture of it and he put it on his Instagram story yesterday. So if you want to go look at the kidney stone that he pissed out on a plane, it’s on there. Now, knock on wood, while I have had gout, I have never had a kidney stone.
I’m sure at some point I’m gonna have it. I. I’ve heard that is one of the worst pains in the world as well, and you can only imagine, take a stone, take this, what, you know, what a penis looks like. I, I don’t think I need to go any further, but yeah, a little pebble, having to piss out a little pebble. Yeah.
That’s got to be like one of the worst pains ever. But as of right now, I’m clear. But yeah, Val shared a whole story about how he, he was having major pains and he thought it was just back pain and it ended up being a kidney stone, and he passed it on the plane. Not sure why he wanted to take a picture of it and included in his Instagram story, but he did.
And finally, as I mentioned in the open, if US Weekly is going to run a headline story. That says Brian Austin Green says Tiffany Thon being cast on 9 0 2 1 oh was an invasion of his space. You know, gd. Well, I’m talking about this because this is right up my alley because Brian Austin Green was on an episode of Oldish.
Well, that’s his. Podcast Oldish. He does it with Charna, his wife and Randy spelling Tory’s brother. And he was talking about Tiffany Thon. I’m gonna call her for the sake of this story. Tiffany Amber Thon and Valerie Malone. So he was basically talking about, for those that don’t know. He was dating Tiffany Amon when she was on Saved by the Bell.
He actually shot his shot with her. He thought that she was totally out of his league, but he shot his shot with her and it was the first girl that he ever really liked and she liked him back. So they start dating and so he’s doing 9 0 2 1 oh. She’s doing Saved by the Bell, but he brings her on set a few times.
Well. She also was then she auditions for 9 0 2 1 oh. And Aaron spelling says to him, what would you think of Tiffany coming on the show? And he thought, Hey, this is great. Girlfriend’s gonna be on the show. She’s gonna be in a few, few episodes. No, no, no. They wanna bring her on to replace Shannon. And he said he thought it was a good idea at first ’cause it was, thought it was just gonna be a couple episodes.
And he said that was the hardest thing in the world. So she joins in season five, as we know as Valerie Malone. Which is a complete opposite of the character. A lot of people had grown to love of her saved by the bell as Kelly Kapowski. And then so he says in the podcast yesterday, Hey, this set was my home and the cast was my family.
I. And this was more of a complete family. I was there all day long, every single day. So all of a sudden she comes in and she’s working with people, not me. She has a dressing room in the same hallway, but we have different call times and we have different things going on. It was just an invasion in my space.
And what had become so dear to me as a kid, not having that big family feeling, it was that that show was so crazy and nobody understood it. Like the other people on the show, nobody would get it. So it was a really special bond. And then he said the strain of the, of Tiffany being part of the cast full-time, for sure, was the downfall of their relationship.
He said, I was so incredibly jealous of storylines. There was just absolutely not a shred of maturity. The way I dealt, I was a wreck. Every time I’d get a new script, I was like, oh, her character starts with Luke and now she’s with Ion. She literally dated every guy on the show and, you know, you’ve, you’ve listened to my podcast long enough.
I’ve always talked about this. Valerie Malone was one of the best characters of the nineties on any TV show, any genre, whether it’s comedy, drama, and because there was no internet back then, we had no idea what we were expecting when we saw her in that first episode. In episode five, she shows up and they’re at the barbecue, and Steve has a liking to her.
We don’t know where the character’s going until the end of the first episode where she goes into Brenda’s room, closes the door, opens up the window, and smokes a joint, and we’re like, oh my gosh. Kelly Kapowski is smoking a joint and everyone and their mother freaks out, including me. But what I’ve always said is, for those that don’t remember in the third episode, the third episode of this woman that she’s ever in, in 9 0 2 1 oh, they literally have her in bed with Dylan McKay.
Naked in bed. Clearly they aren’t naked under the sheets, but they had dabbed both of them up probably with a wet cloth, a wet towel. Because they’re literally sweating. ’cause they had just had sex. And I remember the line that Dylan says to her, he’s like, where did you learn tricks like that? This is the third episode of our beloved Kelly Kapowski.
Now she is a drug user and she’s having sex with Dylan McKay, one of the iconic characters of the 1990s. And he’s talking about the tricks that she can do in bed in her third episode. And I think everybody’s jaw. Hit the floors. Not to mention, like I said, they were both naked under the covers and they were sweating like it was a profuse sweating.
It wasn’t like, oh, she had a couple beads of sweat on her forehead. No, it was like they almost dumped a bucket of water on both of their faces before the scenes started. So yeah, if I’m Brian Austin Green and I’m a teenager and this is like my first serious girlfriend, which it sounds like it was, I’m sure he was very jealous.
And what the funny thing was, they basically ended up breaking up and he’s gotta watcher hook up with Dylan most of season five. Hooked up with Steve as well in season five. And then. As the characters develop and seasons go on, we know a couple different occasions where Valor Malone started dating David Silver, but that was when they weren’t together, so that must have been kind of awkward.
So I’m all for this. Anytime any cast member actually talks about their time on the show and actually gives us insight, hint, hint, not the 9 0 2 1 OMG podcast. Where Tiffany Am or Donna Martin, Tory spelling and Jenny Garth. Can’t remember a damn thing that happened to them. Can’t remember any storylines, have no idea where storylines are going and are completely clueless.
This is the stuff that I like to hear Brian Austin Green telling us how he felt in the moment, how it went down, Aaron spelling saying, Hey, what would you think about Tiffany on the show? And he’s thinking she’s gonna be on for one or two episodes, and it’s like, oh no, we wanted to replace Shannon Doherty.
And he’s just like, oh boy. And he said, yeah, I couldn’t handle it. It was so immature at that point, could not handle it. We broke up and then storyline on the show we’re a couple, but we were broken up and yeah, I can only imagine how hard that would’ve been for him. But yeah, good stuff. Especially anytime we’re dealing with 9 0 2 1 oh.
I love when the former cast members talk about it in depth. In depth like this. Anyway, told you it was a fun show today. That’s it. Thank you very much for listening. I really appreciate it.
