Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: So there's autograph signing conventions, there's coma gonds, all very fun.
Speaker 2: You get to like interact with fans and oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: it's so they're so cool. But nineties con bring it
Speaker 2: all back. This one is like the epic one. It's
Speaker 2: literally nineties con that's for entertainment. And I love it
Speaker 2: because I say, out of conventions, no disrespect, love them all.
Speaker 2: They're great. I say that because they're bring in money.
Speaker 2: This one is like the Four Seasons of conventions, and
Speaker 2: it's a female driven event. It's Christina and Leanna and
Speaker 2: these two badass females got together and were like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, it used to be I think conventions pretty
Speaker 2: much a male driven industry. And these two females came
Speaker 2: in and are so empowering and so inspiring and so rad.
Speaker 2: I'm saying rad because it's so nineties and I still
Speaker 2: say it. And they put this together and it's it's
Speaker 2: taken off. So I did the first one, I believe
Speaker 2: two years ago, maybe three at this point, Hartford, Connecticut,
Speaker 2: and it brought the whole cast of Nino Too and
Speaker 2: Zero back together, brought us all there. Sadly this was
Speaker 2: after you know, Luke had passed, but Shannon was there
Speaker 2: and so it was me and Shan and Jenny and
Speaker 2: oh the first one, Brian wasn't there because he was
Speaker 2: working Ian Gabrielle. It's just like the whole thing and
Speaker 2: it was just so amazing and just the fan love
Speaker 2: is so real and nineties. I don't know, you know
Speaker 2: what everyone can say, like, oh, this decade or you know,
Speaker 2: early two thousands, y two, K whatever. I'm sorry, and
Speaker 2: maybe I'm biased whatever because I was, you know, famous
Speaker 2: in the nineties, still holding on to that, but oh
Speaker 2: my god, you guys Wilson Phillips performed did this one
Speaker 2: hold on vom Day. They just break everyone's ears, people
Speaker 2: in long commutes right now across America or like anyway,
Speaker 2: sorry about that anyway. Uh. It was like, it's just
Speaker 2: epic because I feel like nineties is that one deck
Speaker 2: that people. It's nostalgia and everything going on in the world,
Speaker 2: especially since you know, pandemic on I feel like people
Speaker 2: were really looking to reconnect to a time that in
Speaker 2: their minds was really special to them, something that felt good,
Speaker 2: felt comforting. And I always say nine on two m
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's like the mac and cheese, your favorite
Speaker 2: comfort food. I mean, I think it's elevated at a
Speaker 2: drizzle of like truffle. But you know, although I do
Speaker 2: love a good stove. First, I'm not gonna lie AnyWho.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, like, I feel like nineties is
Speaker 2: the comfort food of television and movies for a generation
Speaker 2: and not just U generation, new generations because now they're
Speaker 2: all like finding it on the TikTok as the Cakids
Speaker 2: would say, you too, and it's all coming back and
Speaker 2: it's just like it's one of those generations that just
Speaker 2: doesn't get old. Well does get old thirty years ago,
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, like it just comes
Speaker 2: back around and at these especially the nineties gone like
Speaker 2: I see, literally I'm not kidding grandmothers, mothers and their
Speaker 2: teen daughters and younger little kids and they're like the
Speaker 2: little ones don't know who I am, but they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I love dancing with the stars, like my two weeks
Speaker 2: on but thank you I was robbed. But yeah, so
Speaker 2: it's just so special because I feel like, kind of
Speaker 2: I don't want to say the nineties because I was
Speaker 2: such a part of it, but like nineties is one
Speaker 2: of the things that families keep like really getting bonded
Speaker 2: over and connecting over and other Nineties in food is
Speaker 2: really all we have, like because nowadays everyone's on you know,
Speaker 2: their phone, social media so distracted and I don't know,
Speaker 2: it was just a special time. AnyWho, I just said
Speaker 2: that again. So it was nineties con and this was
Speaker 2: a big one. And we went back to Hartford, Connecticut,
Speaker 2: and they had one in Tampa that I did that
Speaker 2: was great. They had one Daytona that I wasn't able
Speaker 2: to do because I was on Dancing with the Stars,
Speaker 2: which I was super bummed about. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: they from everything from the props and sets they have
Speaker 2: to the green room where there's a masseuse, and it's
Speaker 2: just so epic. It's like so nice and we're treated
Speaker 2: so well. It's great. But all the fans are treated
Speaker 2: well and everyone's so happy to be there, all the
Speaker 2: volunteers because they do this and don't get paid and
Speaker 2: they're volunteering for the weekend to work with everybody and
Speaker 2: work with talent, and you know, all the patrons coming
Speaker 2: in like it's just like, I don't know, it's a
Speaker 2: good vibe. Everyone's happy. And I was stressed going to
Speaker 2: it because I had done a convention the weekend before,
Speaker 2: so I was like, oh my god, two weekends away
Speaker 2: from my kids. I hate leaving my kids, but I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: mama's got to bring home the bacon for I open
Speaker 2: ban such an old reference whatever. My youngest would be like,
Speaker 2: only turkey bacon. I don't eat beef. Sorry it's not beef.
Speaker 2: I don't eat work. But yeah, it's just like such
Speaker 2: a great thing. And I'm like, my kids are starting
Speaker 2: to understand. And my eight year old after the one
Speaker 2: I did two weekends ago, he knows that I have merch.
Speaker 2: And the merch I have like Donna Martin graduates T
Speaker 2: shirts and Donna Martin caffeenates mugs. I had made this one.
Speaker 2: I had a new idea and I got graduation caps,
Speaker 2: the blue one like Donna Martin Graduates, and I write
Speaker 2: on it Donna Martin Graduates and personalize it. So that
Speaker 2: was new. And this was a special one because Donna
Speaker 2: and David Silver it's their twenty fifth wedding anniversary this year.
Speaker 2: Because the show went off in two thousand and the
Speaker 2: final episode, Donna and David finally after ten years get
Speaker 2: married and twenty twenty five it's their wedding anniversary. But
Speaker 2: it's not just that because the twenty fifth wedding anniversary
Speaker 2: is technically called the Silver Anniversary, and we're David and
Speaker 2: Donna Silver, so just all lines. And Brian Austin Green
Speaker 2: is obviously my boy bestie and we love traveling together
Speaker 2: and such good friends and he's my brother for life,
Speaker 2: so it's so great to do this and yeah, so
Speaker 2: that was really special to be like, hey, by the way,
Speaker 2: it's also David and Donna's wedding anniversary.
Speaker 1: And we had a we had a banner maid or
Speaker 1: I had a banner Oh my yeah, don't get me started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a banner maid and it didn't really come
Speaker 1: out exactly as I.
Speaker 2: Had so we tried. You know, this, this world is
Speaker 2: new for us and we're not merch savvy or or
Speaker 2: anything savvy a little, a little by a little. So
Speaker 2: Ruthanne said, hey, I'm going to get this banner maid
Speaker 2: that we could hang because Brian and I have our
Speaker 2: tables right next to each other and we can hang
Speaker 2: this banner. And I was like great, and Ruthanne and
Speaker 2: I have the same aesthetic and taste and everything. So
Speaker 2: and I'm a detailed person. I don't delegate, but with her,
Speaker 2: like we've been working together, friends for over twenty five years.
Speaker 2: I trust her. So I was like, okay, she's got this.
Speaker 2: That was your first space yep. And I'm a font girl,
Speaker 2: like I'm really onto fons. I mean hello, I put
Speaker 2: my name in everything, very specific about the fonts I used,
Speaker 2: and like the a type personality in me. I used
Speaker 2: to be like I would have been like, what fonts
Speaker 2: are we considering and go through the whole list and
Speaker 2: like look at him and like put it out and
Speaker 2: be like, how's it looked together? Anyway, I left it
Speaker 2: up to her, so I didn't even really notice. I
Speaker 2: got to be honest. It was in script, it was
Speaker 2: lovely ish and then whatever fonts that you picked. Brian said,
Speaker 2: I go, look, we have a banner and he reads
Speaker 2: it and the d's looked like j's and he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: David and Jonna twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Perfect you guys.
Speaker 2: I couldn't un see it. Like I wanted to go

Speaker 2: y that. Oh I didn't, but uh yeah, so were
Speaker 2: we need a new banner.
Speaker 1: By the way, we're getting we're getting a new banner
Speaker 1: for the next convention.
Speaker 2: But it did, and we're wayh in on the fonts
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot. We laughed about it every time. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: but so I'm leaving, I'm packing the night before and
Speaker 2: you guys know, uh self professed hoarder, I'm working on it,
Speaker 2: working on it, cleaned out my storage unit. It's all
Speaker 2: in boxes in my garage. And I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, wait, I have Donnamarin graduates T shirts. We
Speaker 2: had new ones made, really good ones that Ruth Anne
Speaker 2: had made with like Donnamarin graduates, like picture on it
Speaker 2: and David and Donna getting married and David and Donna
Speaker 2: young and like really cool ones. Misspelling. We have a
Speaker 2: misspelling T shirt. FYI, It's so cool. But anyway, I
Speaker 2: was like, well, I just have like pretty basic ones
Speaker 2: that are Donna Martin graduates, you know, in text across
Speaker 2: the T shirt. And I think the first convention like
Speaker 2: two three years ago, I didn't know what to expect,
Speaker 2: so I book ordered a lot and there were a
Speaker 2: lot left over. So I was like, I gotta find these.
Speaker 2: I gotta find these. So the night before I'm leaving,
Speaker 2: Dean comes over to help because he helped, you know,
Speaker 2: put everything in the garage, and he was like, wait,
Speaker 2: I think I remember where they are and the boxes
Speaker 2: are heavy. I'll come help to get you ready. I'm
Speaker 2: like okay, And Bo was like very into it because
Speaker 2: Bo is just turned in and he's super smart guy.
Speaker 2: He was like the first convention, He's like, I understand,
Speaker 2: what do you do there? And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I meet fans and I signed autographs and I sell
Speaker 2: you know, merch and he's like sell and he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: so you make money and I was like yeah, and
Speaker 2: he's like, so you're going to make money for our family,
Speaker 2: and me, being the guilty human I am, I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's not about that. It's about connecting with my fans,
Speaker 2: and like, at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 2: we all have families. This is sport. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a mix of both. I love being there, but
Speaker 2: you know, we all have to make living so and
Speaker 2: it's a really great kind of side hustle, especially in
Speaker 2: the entertainment industry, which is like kind of I am
Speaker 2: low right now, So to be able to do things
Speaker 2: like this is really great for us, you know, supporting
Speaker 2: our families. Any anyway, so Bo was fascinating because he
Speaker 2: was like, so, we're getting the T shirts. Can I help?
Speaker 2: And he was getting them out, and he was helping
Speaker 2: me pack the suitcase, and then we were taking a
Speaker 2: ton of my books and he was putting that in
Speaker 2: and he's like, so, what do you do? You sign it?
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, I sign it and he goes
Speaker 2: and then you get you get money for it, and
Speaker 2: I'm like yeah, and he's like and then you bring
Speaker 2: that money home and I was like yeah. And he's like,
Speaker 2: and then you can buy me candy and I was
Speaker 2: like yeah, buddy, yeah, And being the guilty working mom,
Speaker 2: I was like, of course, baby when I get home,
Speaker 2: and you know, he's just like he plays me like,
Speaker 2: oh my my heart strings, my baby. Last one. He's
Speaker 2: like candy and I was like uh huh, and he's
Speaker 2: like maybe a scratcher ticket. I was like, yeah, those
Speaker 2: are fun, and then he's like Amazon. I was like
Speaker 2: blind box and I was like whoa, whoa, whoa whoa yes, yes,
Speaker 2: yes anyway, so he said, wait, I have an idea, Mom,
Speaker 2: why are you just taking t shirts and books to sign.
Speaker 2: You have so much here you could just sign. Because
Speaker 2: he's not understanding and I'm not kidding, he goes to
Speaker 2: the kitchen. I don't know why this and is the
Speaker 2: most random thing. He comes back with a wooden spoon
Speaker 2: for cooking and he's like, you could sign this, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, baby, I could sign it. I don't
Speaker 2: know who would buy that. Actually, actually what am I thinking?
Speaker 2: Like his his thing was just very innocent. He was
Speaker 2: just like grab anything and everything. Sign up, mom, sign
Speaker 2: up mom, more money for like candy. But in hindsight,
Speaker 2: that's not like wooden spoon, it's like a paddle like
Speaker 2: hmm huh, Donna Martin, there's some pun there anyone. M Nope,
Speaker 2: Donna Martin graduates. Donna Martin marinates ill like involving like
Speaker 2: juices and stuff and no cleaning your sister. No, I
Speaker 2: was thinking about whinspoon on your ass like a paddle,
Speaker 2: like it's like, you know, like marinating And I don't
Speaker 2: know anything about this, but like BDSM Donna Martin like
Speaker 2: only mind would go there. Duh oh okay, Donna Martin
Speaker 2: patulates Don Martin like spankates. Wait whoa not spink, I'm
Speaker 2: mean but anyway.
Speaker 1: Okay, Donna Martin makes pancakes.
Speaker 2: On my ass. Yeah, imagine I sign that and then
Speaker 2: I'm like and hey, you know, throwing five more bucks
Speaker 2: and you get to smack me on the ass with it. Okay,
Speaker 2: So moving along, moving along, Let's get to the airport.
Speaker 2: We get to the airport. We're meaning Brian, So Ruth
Speaker 2: and Brian and I fly and Hartford is lovely. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 2: oh god, I'm going there. Are we talking luggage? I'm
Speaker 2: going there. Well, we were.
Speaker 1: Overpacked because we were bringing a lot of merchandise with us.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, you if you're a little bit
Speaker 2: over wake.
Speaker 1: When you're checking your bags, if you get a nice
Speaker 1: airline person, they're like, it's fine, or you know, let's
Speaker 1: just take a you know, a pound or two off,
Speaker 1: it'll be fine.
Speaker 2: But the woman checking.
Speaker 1: Us in was a stickler. So first of all, she
Speaker 1: had us open.
Speaker 2: Would you call her a Karen, Yes, an airport Karen,
Speaker 2: your airline Karen. First, she had us.
Speaker 1: On our knees on the floor at the Burbank airport
Speaker 1: with both suitcases open, with the windspoon trying to reshuffle
Speaker 1: everything I was so irritating.
Speaker 2: Wait stop, stop, why wait, go back? She has us
Speaker 2: weigh it, and Razann's like already, like this is gonna
Speaker 2: be over weight, Like we're gonna be late, like me,
Speaker 2: she just paid the fee, and so we tell her
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be overweight, and so she puts it
Speaker 2: on and she goes oh, and we're like, wait for it,
Speaker 2: it's two pounds overweight. Two pounds. I'm sorry, listen. I
Speaker 2: like to be treated fairly and I'm never one to
Speaker 2: say like wait, but come on, let us and I
Speaker 2: will say nothing. But I was like, really, two pounds.
Speaker 2: And then she's telling us like, so this one is
Speaker 2: four pounds underweight, so you should take open up that one.
Speaker 2: We're like, she's like instructing us take that out, and
Speaker 2: so Ruthan's like, you listen, you got you literally did
Speaker 2: get on your hands and knees and myself and we're
Speaker 2: like okay. And I was like I don't want to
Speaker 2: be doing this, and so ruth Anne says, you know what,
Speaker 2: We're not gonna make the flight. We got to get
Speaker 2: there because there's no direct flight to Hartford, so we
Speaker 2: have to get on connecting flights. You guys know, I'm
Speaker 2: a scared flyer anyway, although I'm getting better. So basically
Speaker 2: Ruthan's like, you know what and she never says this.
Speaker 2: You were frugal correct a little bit. Yeah, one day
Speaker 2: and you looked over at me and you go she's like,
Speaker 2: remove a and she's like, oh, what's that. I'm like
Speaker 2: my books and she's like oh okay, and then she goes, well,
Speaker 2: m yeah, move one over. So we move one. She goes,
Speaker 2: M yeah, it's still overweight by zero point five and
Speaker 2: she's like, move another one. And she's telling us and
Speaker 2: ruth Anne is compliant. Usually ruth Aneer'd be like what
Speaker 2: and she's.
Speaker 1: Like, I just know better at airport to just go
Speaker 1: with it because otherwise it's going to make it a
Speaker 1: bigger But you did look over at me at one
Speaker 1: point and say I think it's like fifty dollars and
Speaker 1: I know I never say this, we shouldn't spend the money, but.
Speaker 2: Like, let's just pay it. And she heard and she goes,
Speaker 2: oh no, no, it's double. It's going to be like
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars. Like it's like, okay, this is A
Speaker 2: and B conversation where here see your way out. Sorry,
Speaker 2: k your way out, Karen. No offense or how do
Speaker 2: you spell it? I don't know. It could be a sea.
Speaker 2: And yeah, she was just like listening, listening, but we're
Speaker 2: doing it. We do exactly what this woman tells us.
Speaker 2: And finally she goes, Okay, it's fine.
Speaker 1: It was humiliating because we're in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Bourbank Airport, which doesn't have like a first class area
Speaker 1: or anything. It's just all mushed together and there's a
Speaker 1: line and people are looking and we're on our knees
Speaker 1: with the suitcases.
Speaker 2: Sprawled, and I'm already embarrassed, like, yeah, people are not
Speaker 2: knowing I'm going to a convention and think I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's Tori Spelling and she travels with like all her
Speaker 2: books and her face on T shirts. And I'm just like,
Speaker 2: marry her shit, and what a surpa, that's me, your
Speaker 2: person just to clip your stuff around.
Speaker 1: But then thing, yeah got even worse. I stand up
Speaker 1: and we are getting ticketed finally, and the Karen flight
Speaker 1: lady looks at me and looks at Toy and then
Speaker 1: looks back at me and she says, are you her mother?
Speaker 2: Is this a mother daughter trip? Oh? My gosh, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I just looked at Ruthanna. I didn't
Speaker 2: even know what to say. I wanted to be like,
Speaker 2: we're friends. I mean, I was so horrified years older
Speaker 2: than me, Like, yeah, nice, I look older, but I
Speaker 2: know you don't. Okay, stop it, I don't look like
Speaker 2: your mother.
Speaker 1: At that moment, I had to make a decision between
Speaker 1: moving ahead and going on the trip with you or
Speaker 1: turning around, running from the airport and going to the
Speaker 1: nearest plastic searcheon because so.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. But yeah, so that happened. So that
Speaker 2: started us off on a good foot yakay flight Okay,
Speaker 2: So anyway, moving it along. We meet Brian, we get
Speaker 2: on the flight, we get on another flight, We get
Speaker 2: to Hartford and we get in like it was late.
Speaker 2: It was like one in the morning. We go to
Speaker 2: our hotel and then the next day we have our
Speaker 2: first signing. So we did three days of signings and
Speaker 2: it's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Friday is like a half day.
Speaker 2: Saturday is a ten hour day. It's literally a ten
Speaker 2: hour day. But it's great, like you get to meet
Speaker 2: amazing thousands of people, like thousands were there. It was
Speaker 2: a really great one, so much love for the nineties,
Speaker 2: and the whole cast was there, and it was Ian's
Speaker 2: birthday and that was going to be on Sunday. So

Speaker 2: go out to celebrate Ion's birthday and we had a
Speaker 2: great night. Oh my gosh. The toasts which Jen initiated,
Speaker 2: which was really great, which I panic when someone's like
Speaker 2: toasts or and Jenny was like, here's a fun game.
Speaker 2: Everyone go around the table and say something about Ian
Speaker 2: that you love. And I literally I get just so
Speaker 2: nervous and it's like, oh, what am I gonna say?
Speaker 2: What am I gonna say? But it was all so
Speaker 2: heartfelt and so great, and Ian did tear up and
Speaker 2: he gave a speech about the family that we've had forever,
Speaker 2: and it was just like, uh, it was a magical night. Anyway.
Speaker 2: So then we go back to the bar, which they
Speaker 2: had kind of like they had a bar at the hotel,
Speaker 2: but then they closed it off and had like a
Speaker 2: lounge that was like for all the like actors of
Speaker 2: Nineties Con and their peeps, which was really fun. So
Speaker 2: the first night we go, so it was the whole cast.
Speaker 2: We went and got to catch up with so Late Moonfry,
Speaker 2: who I've known forever, Punky Brewster, who is amazing, another
Speaker 2: fellow podcaster, writer Strong. He and Brian were talking and
Speaker 2: we've seen each other in passing like since the nineties
Speaker 2: and hello, I don't think we've ever met. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: but sorry, I hold that thought. Anyway, Brian introduces us
Speaker 2: and what an amazing human and just like a really
Speaker 2: special person, so smart, so lovely, so humble and yeah.

Speaker 2: pod with iHeart called pod Meets World that's really great,
Speaker 2: and we were just like, oh my gosh, look at us,
Speaker 2: we're podcasters now, and just kind of like comparing notes
Speaker 2: and saying how much we love our iHeart family and
Speaker 2: working with them, and then like my eyes got big,
Speaker 2: like when fans see me and super fan out and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it like all came back to

Speaker 2: I had such a crush on you after seeing that,
Speaker 2: and then I was like shut it. Anyway, fan girled out,
Speaker 2: but then I got my shit together. But any way,
Speaker 2: it was just so cool all hanging out. And then

Speaker 2: who was recently on the pod, we had talked about like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be at nineties com We're gonna do this.
Speaker 2: So anyway, it was such a great experience having the
Speaker 2: nine O two and zero group photos, which I'm super
Speaker 2: comfortable with, and then the Scream reunion photo op, which
Speaker 2: I was like, I feel so uncomaed and like if
Speaker 2: it was my like, you know, friends from nine O
Speaker 2: two one oh, that I've known forever, even though I
Speaker 2: know all of the ones from Scream, It's just, you know,
Speaker 2: it's not like brothers and sisters that have been through,
Speaker 2: you know, thirty years together. So you know, I could
Speaker 2: look at any of my nine o two and oh
Speaker 2: friends and family and be like, hey, you know, I
Speaker 2: got a good side, Like can we switch places? Like
Speaker 2: I want to show my right side that didn't happen here.

Speaker 2: orquette duh uh? And so they're like okay, uh in
Speaker 2: the front, Tory sit there, David in the middle, Rose there,
Speaker 2: all the boys in the back, And I was just like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's my bad side and I didn't
Speaker 2: know what to do and I was totally panic. But like,
Speaker 2: I love Rose McGowan. I've known her for years, but like,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be like, you know, I already
Speaker 2: don't feel worthy being there and included, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm just ac CuMo uh in a metaverse, playing myself
Speaker 2: but playing the star of the movie within the movie. Anywhoy,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be like, hey, Rose, do you mind

Speaker 2: do I do? Think fast? Think fast? So I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: I'll just make it cute and like turn to the side.
Speaker 2: But then I'm like panicked, And in my head, I'm like,
Speaker 2: is David Arkett, who I've known forever, Like, is he
Speaker 2: going to be like, wow, she's like turning her back
Speaker 2: to me, which he's so cool, he would never think this.
Speaker 2: This is all in my head. And it all happened
Speaker 2: real fast because they're like, you have a time, woman,
Speaker 2: and they're like, come on, get people in. They're waiting.
Speaker 2: Here's a huge line. Anyway, that happened. What else? Oh,
Speaker 2: the second signing of Scream so we did it two
Speaker 2: days in row with the photo ops I know too,
Speaker 2: and now we did three days in a row. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm really excited right now. I'm passionate about this nineties cone.
Speaker 2: I'm such a fan girl. Can you tell? Like I'm
Speaker 2: a fan of all this as well, which is super
Speaker 2: cool on the other flip side of it. Anyway, the
Speaker 2: first day, like Matthew Lillard's holding my hand, I never
Speaker 2: take pictures with people like I never ask because I'm like, gosh,
Speaker 2: they're here working and you know, they have so many
Speaker 2: fans to get through. I'm not going to be that girl.
Speaker 2: Like we know this industry. I've been in it forever
Speaker 2: with them. I'm not going to go up and be
Speaker 2: like can I have a photo with you as well?
Speaker 2: And you know and not and you're not going to
Speaker 2: charge me? Yeah, no, they wouldn't. Like I just felt guilty.
Speaker 2: So but you know, I had all the courage in
Speaker 2: the world because I did it with Christopher Lloyd the
Speaker 2: weekend before and and Margaret. So now I'm feeling good
Speaker 2: about myself and so yeah, I was like, my kids,
Speaker 2: this is the only thing like taking a like skeet
Speaker 2: the weekend before had sent a video to my daughter Hattie,
Speaker 2: and her favorite movie in the world is Scream the
Speaker 2: whole franchise, and anyway, she loves Skeet and she was
Speaker 2: so psyched that he sent that, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm gonna get major brownie points. I'm
Speaker 2: going to go in for it. I'm gonna ask Matthew
Speaker 2: Lillard for a photo, which I was like so nervous inside.
Speaker 2: I was like shaking inside, but I'm like, pull it together,
Speaker 2: and I was like, because sorry, got clemp there. I
Speaker 2: was like, not only am I gonna get brownie points,
Speaker 2: because some of my kids are gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 2: Matthew Lillard Scream. Other kids are gonna be like Matthew
Speaker 2: Lillard Scooby Doo Shaggy and then wait for it, my
Speaker 2: younger ones are gonna be like five Nights of Freddy
Speaker 2: and so it's just like he's like he's like the
Speaker 2: god of like all of of doing all of this.
Speaker 2: So anyway, anyway, I was like, maybe can I take
Speaker 2: a picture with you? But I didn't do it like that.
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, Matthew, I was like, oh, can
Speaker 2: I get a picture? My kids are huge fans. So
Speaker 2: he was like, of course, So he takes a picture
Speaker 2: with me and I sent that home to the kids
Speaker 2: and they were like, oh my god. They were freaking out. Anyway,
Speaker 2: So that happened, and then the next day come back
Speaker 2: to do the photo op with Scream again, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: yesterday I went well, saw most of them at the
Speaker 2: bar last night. We all hung out, you know, and
Speaker 2: Jamie Kennedy and I are like besties now, like we're
Speaker 2: friends back in the day. But then he came on
Speaker 2: my podcast and now we've connected and now he's just
Speaker 2: like literally my new boy best friend. Like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: and we want to do something funny together, right, ruth Hanne,
Speaker 2: that's right. She fell asleep. She's like this, speed it up, sister,
Speaker 2: so boring, get to it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was going here, No, what I was going to
Speaker 1: say is that is true, except I think Jamie Kennedy
Speaker 1: is my boyfriend.
Speaker 2: But you can live in the delusion all you want.
Speaker 2: So there was a moment we were going to the
Speaker 2: airport on the way home, I'm jumping ahead and Ruth
Speaker 2: Anne's Phone's like blowing up, and I'm like, oh, what's
Speaker 2: going on? Something podcasts something like all our businesses. What's happening?
Speaker 2: And she's like, oh, it's just Jamie Kennedy and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, what do you mean? And
Speaker 2: then I texted him. I'm like, ew, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Texting Ruth amb but not me and my mother and
Speaker 2: not me right, yeah, exactly anyway, but the second screen
Speaker 2: photo op. The second day, I was feeling more comfortable
Speaker 2: hanging out and then it was like, okay, you've got guys.
Speaker 2: The reunion's over, so you know, Dermot step out, Tory
Speaker 2: step out, and they were like og casts basically say
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, okay, okay, I'm walking away,
Speaker 2: and Matthew Lillard goes and I don't know if you
Speaker 2: guys know, but you can look on his instagram. He
Speaker 2: has like a mega like camera. He takes amazing photography,
Speaker 2: great photos and documents things and videos and he's just creative,
Speaker 2: so creative and so kind. He and Skeet like the
Speaker 2: kindest humans. And they played killers and scream like. I
Speaker 2: can't tell you how kind they were to every female
Speaker 2: that came out or were like, oh my god, Skeet
Speaker 2: Matthew and they're just like every person and their lines
Speaker 2: you guys. They didn't stop. They were around the corner anyway.
Speaker 2: So he pulls out his camera and he's very tall,
Speaker 2: you guys. So all the casts are still in their
Speaker 2: chairs in the background, and I'm leaving, but he turns
Speaker 2: to me and he says, oh, can I take a
Speaker 2: picture of you? And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: Matthew Lillard wants my picture. I know his pictures, they're
Speaker 2: so great. So he's feeling really good about myself. So
Speaker 2: then he kind of got distracted because some fans for
Speaker 2: the OG cast had brought an artwork of them, and
Speaker 2: so he immediately was like, you know, and they're rushing
Speaker 2: all of us along. He was like, oh, wait before
Speaker 2: you go wait, you know, sit down again. Wait Rose,
Speaker 2: let me take a picture, David, let me take your picture, Jamie,
Speaker 2: your picture, skate like all that. And so I'm just
Speaker 2: waiting and I'm waiting and I'm just standing there, and
Speaker 2: then I'm like, okay, well, it's okay. I'm just a
Speaker 2: cameo and screened two. You know, he'll get to me
Speaker 2: when he's done with all of them. And then I
Speaker 2: see him coming back over and I'm like, okay, it's
Speaker 2: my turn. He's going to take a picture of me, Hobe,
Speaker 2: he gets my good side and he walks past me
Speaker 2: and he puts his camera and zips it in his
Speaker 2: cake and goes back to his photo. And I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, now, granted, let me tell you the
Speaker 2: nicest human ever. I think there was so much going
Speaker 2: on that he just like was distracted and forgot and
Speaker 2: he's really tall and I'm tiny. Maybe he didn't see
Speaker 2: me standing there. I don't know, but Ruthanna and I
Speaker 2: had this running joke the rest of the time that
Speaker 2: like I'm just still standing there in the victory. You
Speaker 2: have to get back to your table, like there's fans waiting,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, one more second, Matthew Lillard, it's gonna
Speaker 2: take my picture. And that's a hard last name to say,
Speaker 2: tongue twister, someone that doesn't enunciate Lillard well. And then
Speaker 2: the would rise, the sun would rise. You just do
Speaker 2: this like fast paced thing of like if we were
Speaker 2: like in a movie, it'd be like convention people fatcy
Speaker 2: just speed it up, going in and out, in and
Speaker 2: out day night day, night, day, night, and like cut
Speaker 2: to me and I'm just still there, like waiting for
Speaker 2: Matthew Lillard take my photo. Oh man, I'm gonna dm
Speaker 2: be like what about me?
Speaker 1: I really do think he just forgot But that was
Speaker 1: no totally.
Speaker 2: We saw him later and he was all huggy and
Speaker 2: great and like he's so cool. Anyway, I did get
Speaker 2: past a lot of babies at this convention. I gotta
Speaker 2: tell you, Oh my god, I know my ovaries are
Speaker 2: old and dried up, but whatever, I still feel it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh that baby, and I miss my babies.
Speaker 2: And it is a curious thing that Jenny and I
Speaker 2: talked about at dinner and we were like, isn't it
Speaker 2: odd that like people have they don't know us. I
Speaker 2: mean they know us from TV, but they don't know
Speaker 2: if you have a cold. They don't know, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know, like and they're so happy to be
Speaker 2: like here and put their newborn like in your hands,
Speaker 2: and hey, I'm never gonna refuse a baby. You stick
Speaker 2: a baby in on me and me, well yeah you
Speaker 2: know that too, but yeah. And people were handing me
Speaker 2: the babies and one baby was so yummy and just
Speaker 2: fell asleep on my shoulder and I was like just
Speaker 2: like doing the mom like what is it to go
Speaker 2: back and forth kind of rocking the baby, and I'm
Speaker 2: sure people in line were like, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 2: waiting here, please hurry.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: I was like, it's a baby. I was having an
Speaker 2: anxiety attack. I'm like, we've got to move. We gotta go.
Speaker 2: The doors are going to be locked. They're going to
Speaker 2: be locked out. Anyway, friends do friends favors and pass
Speaker 2: babies to them if you love them. So at one
Speaker 2: point I was holding this baby. You fell asleep and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I know Jen's gonna love this.
Speaker 2: So I literally walked over to her booth and I said,
Speaker 2: I'm giving you a gift and she goes, oh my god,
Speaker 2: give me that baby. So I said, here's the baby,
Speaker 2: and she took the baby and she's like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is the best. But yeah, I feel like yeah, babies
Speaker 2: and dogs. People were just like here, take my baby
Speaker 2: and dog. And you're like, okay, great, I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it. Anyway, we stayed this amazing hotel. This
Speaker 2: is now my third time at this hotel and love it.
Speaker 2: But for some reason our room the heat wasn't working
Speaker 2: or we didn't know how to do it. So we
Speaker 2: don't how to do tech stuff or heat stuff or anything.
Speaker 2: So the last morning I woke up and Ruth and
Speaker 2: the day before had gone and walked around all of
Speaker 2: downtown like Hartford. She's like, it is the loveliest, cutest
Speaker 2: little like town city and there's like all these amazing
Speaker 2: food places and bakeries and flower shops and it's just lovely.
Speaker 2: And I had a little fomo because I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: look at me. I'm just laying in bed. And so
Speaker 2: I woke up early. The heat was like who really hot?
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my gosh, okay, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm up and it's really hot here and Ruth Anne
Speaker 2: sleeping and we have like a few more hours. It
Speaker 2: was seven am in the morning. You guys, I had
Speaker 2: had heath stroke. That's well actually, And I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Sometimes once in a blue moon, I
Speaker 2: like to get out and do things by myself in
Speaker 2: a new place, just to challenge myself. So I go walking.
Speaker 2: I go outdoors and it's thirty eight degrees and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna sweatshirt. It had been raining, still drizzling. So I
Speaker 2: walk out the front and I'm like looking and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, you know what would be great right now?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a coffee. I'm gonna have a little
Speaker 2: bigel those fresh bakeries you told me about not thinking.
Speaker 2: It's seven am, like no place is open, and it's Sunday.
Speaker 2: It's like the day of rest, and like, especially in
Speaker 2: La everything's opening, you know, twenty four to seven. Not here.
Speaker 2: So I start walking and then I'm walking, and then
Speaker 2: I'm walking and now I'm winded. I am winded because
Speaker 2: you know, you know, I want to walk. I'm freezing,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh and I've been on my feet
Speaker 2: for two days for like, you know, eighteen hours. Like
Speaker 2: so I'm like, okay, at this point, I should probably
Speaker 2: go back because nothing is open at all. And then
Speaker 2: ha ha, I see a Burger King and Burger King's open,
Speaker 2: mind you. I don't even like breakfast. Fucking hate breakfast.
Speaker 2: But I was like winning Hartford, only thing opens. So
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm just gonna do it. So I
Speaker 2: walk in to this Burger King and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh god, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I'm McDonald's over.
Speaker 2: Burg King used to love it when they took burger
Speaker 2: bundles way back in the day off the menu. I
Speaker 2: was like I'm out. Sorry. Oh, you guys should bring
Speaker 2: them back. They were literally the best. AnyWho. I'm like, okay,

Speaker 2: you know, it's biscuits and ham and eggs or bacon
Speaker 2: or whatever mcgrittle No, sorry, that's McDonald's for grittle, whatever
Speaker 2: it is. So I'm standing there and in my mind,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't really want this. I hate breakfast.
Speaker 2: Why am I here? This is only gonna hurt my
Speaker 2: stomach and I'm gonna have to stand here for you know,
Speaker 2: ten hours doing a signing again and then get on
Speaker 2: two connecting flights home. Oh that's not gonna be pretty.
Speaker 2: So I'm standing there and this guy comes up to me,
Speaker 2: like there were so many people there. I don't know
Speaker 2: why it was me, you know who. I was older guy,
Speaker 2: and he just kind of like shuffles next to me
Speaker 2: and like leans in and he goes h. So they
Speaker 2: changed the menu, didn't they. I'm like, I don't fucking know.
Speaker 2: I don't know the man. You I've been here since
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight when they burger bundled, and I don't
Speaker 2: need breakfast anyway. I was like, uh oh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: and he's like, well, I always get the buttermilk pancake
Speaker 2: sticks and that's my jam and it's not on the
Speaker 2: menu and I can't believe they changed it. And I'm
Speaker 2: now I'm tired. I'm freezing. My stomach's gurgling just looking
Speaker 2: at this menu. And he said, buttermilk pancake sticks. Switch,
Speaker 2: maybe want to puke in my mouth. So, but in
Speaker 2: true Tory form, I was like, um, I don't know, sir,
Speaker 2: I actually don't know, but let me look for you.
Speaker 2: Mind you. I didn't have my contacts in so I
Speaker 2: couldn't even read it. And then I was like, oh,

Speaker 2: and I'm like walked out and I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm out, Like I'm out, like I couldn't
