The show opened with Ty and Lisa's usual host banter. It started by Ty mentioning that he was listening to some tunes before the show and asked her who her favorite band was. She replied Foreigner and the Steve Miller Band. He said Led Zeppelin. He said he had just got the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD and it was good. She said that about 10 years ago she saw them perform at Planet Hollywood during their "sock phase". There were several comments about that incident. Then talked about other stuff and who the guests were today and Ty mentioned that Brian was born in Hawaii so they have some dancers there to teach some Hawaiian dancing. Ty was going to do another cooking segment and he asked if she has tried any of the recipes from the show, she said no, but they make their way closer to the kitchen. Announcer says who is going to be on the show as they showed clips of each from their respective show.

Ty and Lisa introduce their first guest and they show a clip from about 2 or 3 weeks ago - after they find out the baby's ok and Ali and Jack were in the park when Rafe walks up. They just show where he says that when they were in the attic he wanted her then and he wants her now, she is standing there crying. Ty introduces him and he runs out onto the set. What can I say about how gorgeous this man is? He is wearing a red gingham and stripe shirt with dog tags necklace poking out from the undone buttons, faded blue jeans, and wire framed glasses.

Brian mentions that the Steve Miller band was the first concert he ever went to, during their "Abracadabra" tour. (Shelly's note: I love that song - "I wanna reach out and grab ya [Brian]" LMAO - but its true!) Lisa was like "get out!" Brian said he had also just got the Chili Peppers CD. The crowd claps and cheers. Brian asks if everything is really that exciting? (I think he was getting a little self-conscious that everything that came out of his mouth got a big reaction from the audience. He may have been nervous being in front of an audience, but he calmed down as the show went on. I saw about a month ago on the SoapTalk website about upcoming shows to purchase tickets for and what they had posted had already passed. His name was on the June 30th guest list - which means it was less than a week after the "online journal" incident, and repercussions from that may have made him uncomfortable as well.) Lisa said, "Yes, it is damn it! All you have to do is raise your hand and they cheer!" She raises her hand and the audience cheers. He said his guilty pleasure (musically) is 80's hair bands. Ty names a few including Bon Jovi, who are from New Jersey, like Brian. Springsteen is mentioned, not a "hair band", but also form NJ. Ty asks if he ever teased up his hair and wore mascara like the "hair bands" did. Brian says No, but he wore eye makeup going through the "Goth" phase during the late 80's bands like the Cure and Souizsie and the Banshees.

Ty switches the subject by saying that the fans were upset with the current Livvie storyline because the fans want his character with Alison. (Duh!!!) He replied, "Well, you know, that, that, that's the drama of it all. I mean, I, yeah, the people are passionately upset but I'd rather see people get passionate about something than to just sit there and not really care what's going on. It's nice to see that they do care." Lisa asked who he preferred working with. He said Lynn Herring and expanded on how they have a good working relationship. He enjoys the spontaneity of live-to-tape as whereas a movie gets edited and manipulated sometimes.

Ty jokes that he dodged the real question (Alison versus Livvie), so he changes the question by asking if it is hard to do love scenes with Alison since {Erin} is engaged {now married} to Brian Presley. He says he doesn't want to sound like a "professional actor" but the "kissing and nakedness" is not awkward if it is good for the story. Its only awkward if it is inappropriate to the story. He said he would rather do a nude scene than a ridiculous scene fully clothed. Lisa asks if he would do a nude scene. (here is a word for word recount of the dialogue)

LISA: Would you do a nude scene if it was appropriate?

BRIAN: Full Frontal?

LISA: Yeah.

TY: No, you can have a sock like the Chili Peppers!

LISA: (laughing hysterically) That's good, that's good!

BRIAN: I tell you what, If I, if I, it would be, it would have to be more than appropriate to the story. It would have to be part of an artist's vision that I understood the vision.

LISA: Ok, it's that. Would you do it?

BRIAN: I love old movies where they didn't have to show as much, but if it were working with a great artist and I understood their vision, no, that doesn't bother me.

LISA: Someone just asked me that. I answered the same way.

TY: I'll do full frontal right now! Are you kidding me?

BRIAN: Dude?

TY: Like I care.

BRIAN: Do you take your shirt off....like...every show?

LISA: He does. He'll do anything!

TY: I'll do anything. I'm a whore. Please, I prostitute myself on a daily basis.

Ty changes the subject by asking about the run-in with the police. Lisa adds, a bank incident. Brian is joking, "They're always after me!" Then says smiling, "I robbed a bank." shakes his head "...no I didn't" and goes on to explain the story about how he was on his cell phone doing an interview for Soap Opera Weekly and pulled into a bank parking lot. A police car pulls up behind him. The officer opens up the trunk and pulls out a shotgun, then three more cars pull up all the while he is on the phone giving the interview and ducking just in case there is crossfire. (Brian is very animated in his storytelling.) He says in the end it was just a false alarm. He said he was kind of disappointed then because if it had been a real robbery he would have had a really good story to tell.

Ty brings up that Brian lived in Hawaii. Brian corrects by stating he was BORN in Hawaii, lived in New Jersey. Ty announces that they have a Polynesian dance troupe here to give hula dancing lessons.

The dance scene is better SEEN than described. The dance leader gives Ty a lei, and a fellow dancer puts lei's on Lisa and Brian. She asks which island he was born on. He replies Honolulu, Oahu. They go over basic moves - the hip swivel (the key is to just move the hips, not the torso), and then they show they have to place emphasis on certain body parts - stick their hip out in certain directions - left, right, back (yes booty shakin' by Brian), and then just the guys do the front. One of the dancers each get behind Ty and Brian and when the guy his the drum the girl dancers bump their hips so that the guys shake their hips forward. Brian was totally surprised on that one! Falls on the floor. The troupe brings out a fire dancer who amazes the crowd. As they show Lisa, Ty, and Brian signing off to go to commercial, Brian is still trying to do the hip swiveling. (A must see.)

TY COOKING segment - Brian and Nadia Bjorland (Days of Our Lives) are there as Ty (and Lisa helps a little) prepares low-fat Breakfast Burrito's. Ty goes through the list of ingredients. He talks about using Egg beaters or bottled egg whites in place of the whole eggs. Brian speaks up and says that he missed an ingredient~ "Lucky Charms" (Alright Brian, stop being a smartass.) Lisa says she could cook too if someone cut up all the stuff for her (poor baby) like they do here. She puts the ingredients in the pan as Ty describes the process. Lisa tries to stuff the burrito. Brian gives Lisa encouragement by clapping wildly and yells, "Good Job!" Ty does a much better job and shows Lisa the correct way to stuff a burrito. "That's why the segment is called 'Ty Food'," Brian adds. They offer plates with the burritos and salsa to Nadia and Brian. When they come back from commercial, it appears to me that Brian must have shoved half of the burrito in his mouth as he is feverishly chewing when they come back. Ty asks if it's any good. Brian gives the "so-so" sign with his hand after licking his fingers while chewing. He starts laughing and the spicy salsa must have got to him as he starts coughing and nearly falls off the stool. I think he told him it was good then, but to be honest I was laughing at him falling backwards because he was laughing at his own self.
