Okay, So I've written many books. 25 00:01:52,800 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: My first book was called Storytelling, and I just I 26 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: love telling stories. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 27 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: My dad was an amazing storyteller, and I didn't think 28 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I had a gift for it till I saw how 29 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: much joy it would bring, even friends at school telling 30 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: stories that I thought met nothing, like, just this is 31 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend, and they'd be laughing and 32 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: like And my attention to detail, I'm very focused on. 33 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I have a photographic memory, so basically I see things 34 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: in terms of like a movie in my head. So 35 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: I could see things that happen in my stories and 36 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: I could tell you exactly, which was very helpful for 37 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: my co writer for my books because I could literally 38 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: set the stage and be like, Okay, this happened in 39 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: this place on this date. I'm very good with dates, 40 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: like don't mess with me with dates, like it's like yeah, 41 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: but I'd be like I was wearing this dress and 42 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: this color shoes, and this person was standing to my left. 43 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: And it's just very precise, which when you were conveying 44 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: your stories, really helps set the stage for the viewer 45 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: slash listener slash reader slash friend you're telling it to 46 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: at a cocktail party, just really visualizing the story. Anyway, 47 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: storytelling my first book, which went number one on the 48 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller list. Woo. I've written six books, 49 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: but that was my first. That was my first book, 50 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: and I had the best time writing it with And 51 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: I had a ghostwriter, Hillary Lifton, who has done all 52 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: my books, including my children's book with me. Because we 53 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: became fast friends and she was very collaborative. She quickly 54 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: found out that it wasn't just like sometimes. I found 55 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: out the world of ghostwriting very fascinating. It comes in 56 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: all shapes and forms, Like you can have a celebrity 57 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: and you literally have to create their voice while telling 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: their stories. But with me, she quickly found out. She's like, 59 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm basically here to type out your stories to format it. 60 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm terrible at formatting. I was like, I have always 61 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: stories go chapter one, chapter two, and just to kind 62 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: of steer your voice. And she's like, but your voice 63 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: is so evident, and that's one piece of advice I 64 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: always took with me. So I tell stories, and I 65 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: was like, okay, hello, I have a podcast crime, real Estate, Hello, Monopoly. 66 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: This would be like park Avenue. No way, they're different 67 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: now park Place, park Place. Yeah. So I'm going to 68 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: do a weekly edition of storytelling by Tori spelling that 69 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: is misspelling and for nasty. Okay, let's get into it. Listen, 70 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: puns are my life. There's two types of human brains. 71 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: You either think in terms of puns or you don't. 72 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: I can't help but thinking puns. So today here we go. 73 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: I am spelling the beans on a lot of juicy stories. Okay. 74 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: My producer Lorraine has graciously agreed to ask me questions, 75 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: and I said, go for it because I can edit 76 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: the book out of this. No, I'm just kidding. No, 77 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: I said go for it because what often happens, and 78 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: this happened every time I was writing one of my books, 79 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: is my writer would it was like she was a therapist. 80 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: It was so cathartic. But I would be like, I No, 81 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't have a story about that, and she'd be 82 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: like okay, and she'd just be like asking me about 83 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: my life and it would trigger a memory that'd be like, 84 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: oh my god, I haven't thought about that story in 85 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: ten twenty years, and I would have a story. So 86 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of times I won't remember things, and if 87 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: you ask me in a certain way or ask something 88 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: around it, it will jog my memory. So here we go, Loraine. 89 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are you ready? That's the question. I 90 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: don't know. Yo, We're gonna go there? Okay, Oh god, okay, 91 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: ease me in, be gentle. It's my first time. Highly 92 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: doubt that. Okay. 93 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: So we've done a lot of episodes about your fabulous 94 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: family parties, right, yes, okay, there must have been more 95 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: than one, but at least one celebrity who got wasted 96 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: at one of your shindigs in Beverly Hills, and I 97 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: want to know who. 98 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Okay, So I could take this a variety various different directions. 99 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: Let's say we had very few parties at our house 100 00:06:53,800 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: pre mannor Baby Manor Manor Junior. He had some parties, 101 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: but not extensive amount at the Manor. The only huge 102 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: except aside from the Christmas Eve parties every year that 103 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I've gotten into a little bit, the only huge party 104 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: was when my mom threw the one and only party 105 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: for Prince Charles when he came to America. It was 106 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: the one party he allowed someone to do for him, 107 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 1: and it was at our house. But my dad every 108 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: year had huge company parties, massive every actor, crew, producers, network. Yeah, 109 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: so those are the parties where they'd probably be some 110 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: little more wasted, I would say, I'm trying to remember. 111 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: There were a lot of them were like at a hotel, 112 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: like in the ballroom, but some of them were at 113 00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the iconic Chasins, which was a Hollywood staple, landmark restaurant 114 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: for like the biggest stars in the world. And I'm 115 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: talking all the way back to like Betty Davis, Joan Crawford, 116 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: like Dean Martin, my godfather, Barbara Stanwick, my godmother, Frank Sinatra, 117 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: like you know, like everyone went there, the rat Pack, 118 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: and then it just went on Jimmy Stewart and then 119 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: it went on through the decades until it closed downs. 120 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Now Bristol Farms, Beverly Boulevard got its heartbreaking little known facts. 121 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm a huge believer in chili. Uh. I don't get 122 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: my chili skills from a family recipe or a home 123 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: cooked meal. But there was a famous chili and you 124 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: can look it up that I was inspired to make 125 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: by Chasins, which was this huge iconic restaurant. They had 126 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: like shrimp towers and they had like the like the 127 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: meter d and the waiters were like in and almost 128 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: black tie red, like leather couches. People would dress up 129 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: when they came there, like you know where they're like 130 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: furst stoles. Sorry that was back then. Now they're foe 131 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: for stoles. Doesn't even wear a stole anymore. Should bring 132 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: it back. I love a good capelet. Anyway. They would 133 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: like really dress up and they would have like steak, 134 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: like all these cool steaks, and they had actually a 135 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: steak called the Steak Aarin that was my dad's. I'd 136 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: to get the recipe for that. Oh, we have to 137 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: make that one day. That was iconic. But they would 138 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: like you know, it was a whole performance. They would 139 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, Cherry's jubilee and they would light it on 140 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: fire in front of you. It was like you went 141 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: out for like a Sunday family dinner and I was 142 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: wearing my finest Mary Jans let me just tell you, 143 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: and my fur caplet. Sorry, I was eight. I didn't 144 00:09:53,840 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: choose my clothes but in the Shirley Temple ringlets. But anyway, yeah, 145 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: so chili chili was one of their main things, which 146 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: is so random. That's like a comfort food and not 147 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: something you would see like at a high end restaurant. 148 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress. I think, you know what, I 149 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: don't know if she was wasted, but and we can 150 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: fact check this and see, my luck, she'll be like, 151 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: I've been sober for fifty years, Like how dare you 152 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: say that? But uh, I'll be canceled. But anyway, Judge 153 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: Judy and not wasted, but she was. I guess what 154 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: it was that really I took note of. And keep 155 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: in mind, my dad's company was a public traded company 156 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: in the later years, so he owned different film companies. 157 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: So there are you know, movie stars at at his 158 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: holiday parties. It went from Chasins to like the huge 159 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: hotel like you know Biltmore all his TV shows all 160 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: and it expanded to and I don't know exactly why, 161 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: but the network that Judge Judy was on was part 162 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: of Spelling was linked to it. So anyway, and I 163 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: guess I was just so shocked and like everyone was 164 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: getting up and giving speeches, and yeah, I was just 165 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: so shocked because everyone's like Judge Judy, Judge Judy.

Are we talking like at 221 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: my mom's house? Because no, I mean she listen, back 222 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: in the day we have she would get the screeners 223 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: for the movies, which a lot of people in the 224 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: industry get now, but this is back like back in 225 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: the day, it was like a rarity in My dad 226 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: and mom would get them and she would have them 227 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: cataloged and you could come over and it was like 228 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: a library card and you could check them out. That's 229 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: only because she had people she did this to her 230 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: like okay, I borrow this, and she was so giving 231 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: like yes, yes, yes, of course, and then like they 232 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: never returned it. But she learned fast, and she like 233 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: she had an eye on everything. When they say moms 234 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: have eyes on the back in the back of their heads, 235 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean my mom like she saw everything. She always 236 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: knew everything. Anyway. I couldn't get away with a thing anyway. 237 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean growing up my friends I told about like 238 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: my mom notoriously had out candies and when she smoked 239 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: cigarettes and alcohol, like it wasn't my parents. Weren't the 240 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: parents that locked anything up because my brother and I 241 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: never took anything. Like I would have kids come home 242 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: and be like, oh, you know, like my six year 243 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: old friends like, oh my god, there's cigarettes here.

My mom believed everything in moderation, which 250 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: is something I carry through with my kids because I 251 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: feel like it's like in Europe, like they have them 252 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: drinking at such a young age that I feel like, 253 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, when they get to be adults, they can 254 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: handle it. You know, it's about socializing and entertaining and 255 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: a good meal and conversation wine. It's not taken for 256 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: granted like it is in America. But anyway, yeah, so 257 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: my friends did not steal. They were allowed to take anything, 258 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: take all that, and like they'd be like, ooh, there's 259 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: booze back here, and I'd be like, m yeah. But anyway, 260 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: at my apartments, I moved out, went to my apartment. 261 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: I did have I don't know if i'd call them friends. 262 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: I had, well, I had one friend. So my mom 263 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: growing up was a collector of antiques, and she got 264 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: me into collecting. Well, I have a famous collection. I've 265 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: asked my mom where it is. Oh god, I hope 266 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: it's somewhere of salt dips. Wait what my mom started 267 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: collecting salt dips for me. They're like little glass and 268 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: different things they would put salt in, but little I 269 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: don't know why. This couldn't tell you why. And I 270 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: feel like my godfather, Dean Martin got me into collecting 271 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: original original coins. So I used to have packs of 272 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: like the original coins each year. God, I gotta find 273 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: those two, okay. But I also when I moved to 274 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: my first apartment, even though I didn't smoke cigarettes, it 275 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: was like a rite of passage, like I was an adult, 276 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: so I didn't have out like cigarettes and cigarette holders, 277 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: but I would have I did collect match strikers, like 278 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: they have beautiful glass ones you can go. I love 279 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: to flea market and get them match strikers. I have matches, 280 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: but that's good for lighting candles and stuff. And then 281 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: I would have lighters, but like the big ass like 282 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: it looked like you were gonna like rub them and 283 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: a genie would come out, like it looked like a 284 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: big brass like genie lantern.

All my friends would laugh at it. But 362 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: I had it in my drawer in my closet, like 363 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: it'd be like, oh, my sweaters, my cardigans, my vibrators, 364 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: oh pictures of me with a cigarette in my mouth 365 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: doing the splits in a G string. But yeah, things 366 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: like that. You know, I'm just kidding. I didn't use avibrator, 367 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: but oh my god, I did have it, like ten 368 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: Hello Kitty vibrators because once I was at the pleasure 369 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: Chest and I was so shocked and I was like, 370 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, and I was like, Hello Kitty.

I decided to get it 372 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: for all my girlfriends for Christmas and got like ten 373 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: pink Hello Kitty vibrators. That me being me, I like 374 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: never wrapped, never gave and they just sat there, never 375 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: tried it. Actually, to be honest, gimmickey ones are never 376 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: the most powerful anyway. So I was filming somewhere and 377 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: my roommate at the time, a boy roommate, had a 378 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: party and had people over, which was fine, I think, 379 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: you know what. I was filming nine on two and zero, 380 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: So I was working late. I came home and this 381 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: isn't his fault, like he didn't tell this human to 382 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: do this. And my roommate, Kevin and I he had 383 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: people over and they were friends of mine as well, 384 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: and I was filming late. I came home and I 385 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, Okay, I'm like, I'll hang 386 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: out for a little bit. And I hung out on 387 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: the couch for a little bit and then I went 388 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: to bed. Thought nothing of that night. The next week, 389 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: my publicist calls and says, I don't know if it 390 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: was National Enquirer. We can look this up in fact check, 391 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: but it was something a publication has a photo of you, 392 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: and you're scantily clad and you're doing a really like 393 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: a pose that's not appropriate, and you have a cigarette 394 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: hanging out of your mouth. And immediately I was like 395 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: it's just pertaining to be Sandy increased lightning. I was 396 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: just trying to be the good girl turned bad for 397 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: one night. Yeah that was me anyway. Yeah, I knew 398 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: exactly the picture. So I go to my bedroom, open 399 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: up that bottom drawer all fucking ten. Hello, kitty vibrators 400 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: still there. Why couldn't they have taken those? Uh? And 401 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: I looked through the photos and that photo's gone. So yeah, 402 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: so someone stole the photo and sold it, and I 403 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: have one more. I mean, I'm sure people took shit 404 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: all the time. Like I just wasn't that person. I 405 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: always believe people were good until my friends would be 406 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: like that person's got to go. They're a leech. They're like, 407 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: we don't like we think they're like gonna sell stories. 408 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: Like my friends always had the best radar far sooner 409 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: than I did. I would fight tooth and nail for 410 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: people until it was too long, too late, because I 411 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: always wanted to believe that people had good intentions, which 412 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: hardly ever was the case back then. Anyway, my roommate 413 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: again Kevin, had a girlfriend, one of many who I 414 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: really liked, and not just because she had my namesake, 415 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: which is kind of awkward in itself, but oh the 416 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: things like or come from the room. I never wanted 417 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: to hear coming from him. And it was my name. 418 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: But she was very cute and I actually took style 419 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: tips from her. I'm like, oh, I like her outfit. 420 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, where'd you get this? And she would 421 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: tell me.

AnyWho, Yeah, that was the first one. 506 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: But it was like I don't know, probably like two 507 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: hunderds three in our dollars, but the biggest spending. And 508 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: this is like I would be hesitant to say it 509 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: right now because so many things have come back to 510 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: bite me in the ass that I've said, but it 511 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: was in a book and so I wrote it, and 512 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: then it's just like come back to be like, oh 513 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe she dropped this much money, 514 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: and it's like I was just trying to tell a story, 515 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, I made.

All those coats, they didn't 568 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: go to waste. I wore them all over the years, 569 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: except the fur one. I didn't know back then, you guys, 570 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: like it wasn't a thing. I grew up my mom 571 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: Like I didn't understand. You know. It was like just 572 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: when I was like going into like animal rescue, I 573 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't understand, like you don't wear furs. Like It's just 574 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: I grew up with parents from a different generation and 575 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: in Hollywood. So I do have to admit I still 576 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: have it. But I did get a fur coat that day, 577 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: the last one I ever got. Now I get all 578 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: vintage fur because you know, I didn't kill it. Someone 579 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: else has worn it. I'm just taking the leftovers, uh 580 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: and faux fur. But yeah, it was like a brand new, 581 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: amazing fur coat and I've never worn it. Still has 582 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: the tags on it. I can't. But anyway, all these 583 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: coats were saved in my storage units and now are 584 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: shoved in my garage where I think there's moths. So 585 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: I better get on that before they're totally destroyed. But yeah, 586 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: and then Kevin, my roommate at the time, used to 587 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: love to remind me that he's like I would come 588 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: back from dental school and there'd just be like bags 589 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: of clothes and racks and I'd be like, yeah, another 590 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: thing happened.
