Speaker 3: which is odd. I got it and it hit me
Speaker 3: so hard. I was out out, down, like bed ridden,
Speaker 3: down for three weeks, three weeks.
Speaker 2: So I'm super grateful.
Speaker 3: That my friend Elisa and my friend Hilaria stepped in
Speaker 3: and covered for me. My boypod bestie Easton kept with misstepping.
Speaker 3: I I'm sorry, guys, I mean this has been rough
Speaker 3: and I'm a doer, a mover and a shaker, and
Speaker 3: it was. It was the most brutal illness I've ever had.
Speaker 3: And then I attack my sinuses because it always attacks
Speaker 3: your weakest thing, and that is the weakest link. It's
Speaker 3: a scary movie to reference when I died. Anyway, three
Speaker 3: rounds of antibiotics. Whoa, so so my gut's depleted, my
Speaker 3: flora bed? Is that a thing gone? So anyone have
Speaker 3: any ideas to like get the good back to back
Speaker 3: in because I don't like taking antibiotics, but like three
Speaker 3: rounds something something had to give My sinus specialist, doctor Matt,
Speaker 3: He was out of town for a while, so when
Speaker 3: I finally got to him, he put like the camera
Speaker 3: up my nose and down and he was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I know your science as well.
Speaker 2: Really well.
Speaker 3: He did my sinus surgery in twenty twenty one, and
Speaker 3: he said, he goes, this is the nastiest sinus infection
Speaker 3: you have ever had. And he doesn't say that lately.
Speaker 3: You know, doctors don't try to scare you. You know,
Speaker 3: they're like, it's going to be fine. He's like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is a bad one. I was like, I was like, bro,
Speaker 3: I know, okay. Anyway, the past of the past. I
Speaker 3: did say at one point to Ruth Anne, I feel
Speaker 3: like I'm having an exorcism.
Speaker 2: Did I not say that.
Speaker 3: You absolutely said that. You said that I am so sick.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm possessed and somebody's doing an extra
Speaker 3: on me or I need an exorcism, And unfortunately I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't help you with that. I did not say possessed,
Speaker 3: because I am not possessed, but exorcism was the valid
Speaker 3: term for what was happening to my body. And I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna say you, guys, I am a super believer
Speaker 3: that emotions stress, it's all related to your physical So
Speaker 3: I think I had come to a point in my life.
Speaker 3: And you know, Brian's always saying, it's Tory two point zero,
Speaker 3: this is your next chapter. You're moving on. Maybe I
Speaker 3: was stuck a bit, so my body was just like,
Speaker 3: you know what, we're going to shed what's left of
Speaker 3: the past. We're gonna shed it out. WHOA please cleanex
Speaker 3: if you're out there, I need stock in your company.
Speaker 3: I went through so many Kleenex boxes, toilet paper rolls
Speaker 3: like it was madness. What was come down the pike
Speaker 3: peak nose snobs? AnyWho? Uh? Anyway, I'm feeling stronger, I'm
Speaker 3: feeling better, and the show must go on. So here
Speaker 3: we go okay. So being this sick during October not ideal.
Speaker 3: I literally my daughter Hattie's birthday October tenth. Somehow my
Speaker 3: body kept it together. We had a great time celebrate
Speaker 3: with her friends, family dinner Friday night, Saturday night, we
Speaker 3: had her like all her friends over and everything. So sorry,
Speaker 3: not the eleventh, October twelfth, I woke up sick as
Speaker 3: a dog. Didn't after that. That was it for me.
Speaker 3: So that's hard for a mom.
Speaker 2: Of five especially.
Speaker 3: I've talked about it on the show that Halloween is
Speaker 3: our cham It's one of our fave we're at holidays,
Speaker 3: but it's one of our favorite holidays. We go all out.
Speaker 3: We diy, we bake, we cook, we pumpkinize everything. I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I was like, kids, here's the reality. Pumpkin
Speaker 3: Patch ain't happened this year. It's not happening first time ever.
Speaker 3: My oldest is eighteen. In eighteen years, we have not
Speaker 3: not gone to the pumpkin patch. But Ralph's is a
Speaker 3: good backup for pumpkin It's just gonna say. AnyWho, So
Speaker 3: I was panicked, which it doesn't help a sickness more
Speaker 3: when you're panicked like am I gonna get well in time?
Speaker 3: In time, Halloween's coming up? Tick tic tick. And I
Speaker 3: have an eight year old that's like, oh, obsessed with times, dates,
Speaker 3: holidays and Halloween. So he was like eight days Halloween,
Speaker 3: seven days Halloween, and I'm in my head like are
Speaker 3: you trying to send me over the edge? And I
Speaker 3: was like, I know, buddy, it's gonna be fine. He's like,
Speaker 3: are you gonna be okay? I'm like, Mom's gonna be well. Well,
Speaker 3: I pulled it off. So I posted some videos on
Speaker 3: social about my experience because I was so sick. I
Speaker 3: had to wait the last minute to get costumes because
Speaker 3: I just physically couldn't go. I couldn't do it. To
Speaker 3: even go to the doctor. My son Liam had to
Speaker 3: drive in the car with me just to be like
Speaker 3: it's okay, mom, I got you help me from the
Speaker 3: car like it was gnarly. Who says narly? Uh? Anyway,
Speaker 3: that so okay. So Bo's dad, So Dean takes Bo
Speaker 3: and gets some a costume, and Bo really wanted to
Speaker 3: be ghost Face from Scream, which I'm not mad at that. Like, Hello,
Speaker 3: I was in Scream too. Hello, I was in scary
Speaker 3: movie too, Like like, I was so sick. That's such
Speaker 3: a cute correlation. I couldn't even post that. I was
Speaker 3: just like, nope, I'm out. So came home with his
Speaker 3: ghost face costume. He was psyched, he was pumped, and
Speaker 3: I was like, cool man, but you know, no horror
Speaker 3: or scary at school. So what other outfit did you
Speaker 3: and Dad get? And he's like, oh no, and Finn,
Speaker 3: who's always like I got this mostly because I texted
Speaker 3: Finn and I said, don't let Dad and both forget
Speaker 3: to get because he was with them to get a
Speaker 3: school appropriate costume. So I said, Finn, did you get
Speaker 3: bo as school appropriate costume? I don't see one here
Speaker 3: and he said, oh, he could just wear the ghost
Speaker 3: face cloak, no mask, no knife, And I was like,
Speaker 3: well not sucks balls, Like that's not fun. So anyway,
Speaker 3: he tried to you know, all my kids are like lawyers.
Speaker 3: They'll talk you out of everything and tell your reason why.
Speaker 3: I'm like great. So I was like, okay, we're screwed.
Speaker 3: So night before he has the Halloween parade on Friday.
Speaker 3: On Halloween, I'm like, I got to get him a costume.
Speaker 3: So we went out. We ventured out. Now venturing out
Speaker 3: on Halloween Eve to find a costume. It's way scarier
Speaker 3: than COVID. Okay, we went to four stores. Now I
Speaker 3: started to like get a jam. I'm like, okay, you
Speaker 3: hit Spirit, hit Spirit, you know what? No no, no, no,
Speaker 3: no no no, everyone hits Spirit.
Speaker 2: You gotta think outside the box.
Speaker 3: So I'm like Costume Warehouse, Phantom, I don't know, Little
Speaker 3: known unknown, Halloween store on the corner, like anything besides Spirit.
Speaker 2: We did those.
Speaker 3: Then I started driving to areas that I thought like, okay,
Speaker 3: people don't really dress up like I like, headed to
Speaker 3: like really affluent areas, thinking like they're not out on
Speaker 3: Halloween Eve, like they don't care about Halloween. They don't
Speaker 3: even put decore out.
Speaker 2: They were packed. So I was like, okay, Bo.
Speaker 3: We got into like I think it was Phantom, and
Speaker 3: there was a line around the block and I was
Speaker 3: doing like row Schambeau. I was like, come on, no lines,
Speaker 3: no lines, whammy lines. So I said, okay, Bo, we're
Speaker 3: gonna wait in this line. We get in, we're gonna
Speaker 3: go aisle by aisle, and we're gonna focus because I'm like,
Speaker 3: what do you want to be this school proper? He's like, oh,
Speaker 3: like crap. Okay. So we get in there, and of
Speaker 3: course we've been at like three other Halloween stores and
Speaker 3: I passed this one. I said Minion, Minion and he's like, nah,
Speaker 3: it was a Minion last year. I'm like, oh, all right,
Speaker 3: it's a great costume.
Speaker 2: Always relevant.
Speaker 3: Say I'm a lawyer too, always relevant, still on trend,
Speaker 3: always a good way to go. Talk the kid into it,
Speaker 3: and he looks cute in men, so he goes you, okay, mom,
Speaker 3: I've decided I want to be a Minion. No bit
Speaker 3: sho okay, laser focused. I go to the aisle. Everything
Speaker 3: is there except Minion. There's a there's a Minion bunting
Speaker 3: bag for a newborn.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh boy, okay, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3: And I was like, hey, Beetlejuice. I was like, big
Speaker 3: thing this year? What is a demon hunter? Demon slayer?
Speaker 3: Demon something? I was like, I was like Aladdin, I
Speaker 3: was like Disney Prince. I was throwing everything that I
Speaker 3: don't even believe in at the kids to see if
Speaker 3: it would stick. And he was like, no, no, Minion,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, buddy, okay, it's not here. And
Speaker 3: even if it was there, screw the line outside around
Speaker 3: the corner. The line inside once they allow you in,
Speaker 3: because they're like two people in, two people in. So
Speaker 3: I'm thinking they got they got a system here. People
Speaker 3: go out, people come in. We're gonna be Okay. The
Speaker 3: line and this is like a mega warehouse type of deal.
Speaker 3: The line inside to pay it. The cash register is
Speaker 3: wrapped all the way around the outskirt of the inside
Speaker 3: of the building. And I'm like, okay, no, we're not
Speaker 3: doing this. I'm like noe to oneself. I really like
Speaker 3: the organization here. It's really great. Next year we're coming
Speaker 3: back here. I say this every year. I'm like, next year,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a handle on Halloween. Well, you know what,
Speaker 3: let's see. Anyway, I crouched down in the corner and
Speaker 3: I went to Instacart, and I was like, this is
Speaker 3: a hail Mary is this is this is our last chance.
Speaker 3: I put on Instacart because they have Spirit Halloween up
Speaker 3: until the night Halloween Eve, and I put in Minion.
Speaker 3: It came up. I see the little thing. If you
Speaker 3: know no Instacart, it shows like check we found a driver.
Speaker 3: Check they're driving to the store. Check they have your
Speaker 3: items in the cart, check a house. They're driving to
Speaker 3: your house and you can see zero of one item shopped.
Speaker 3: So I order it. But when I get in the
Speaker 3: car and he was like, Mom, you promised me pumpkins.
Speaker 3: I'm like that I did, so I said, okay. We
Speaker 3: drove to Ralph's. As we're driving, I hear a d
Speaker 3: she found it. She goes the lines really long. I apologize,
Speaker 3: I said, apologize, you just saved Halloween. She found it.
Speaker 3: She found a minion costume. She had it in her cart.
Speaker 3: She was gonna drop it at the door. You know what,
Speaker 3: I know, it costs a few dollars extra, but Instacart, what.
Speaker 2: Costume? Kiss to you?
Speaker 3: Like, thank you?
Speaker 2: You saved Halloween. Anyway, we go to Ralphs.
Speaker 3: We go in, We get pumpkins, five pumpkins, one for
Speaker 3: each of them. We were gonna carve it at night.
Speaker 3: It's too late now right school in the morning. So
Speaker 3: my new theory is they had a half day. We're
Speaker 3: gonna get out tomorrow at twelve o'clock. Half day, minimal day.
Speaker 3: We're gonna come home, We're gonna pund some fun Halloween music.
Speaker 3: We're gonna sit outside in our beautiful deck and we're
Speaker 3: gonna carve pumpkins and have lunch together. And the kids
Speaker 3: are all happy with that. So I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 3: bo and I get all our pumpkins. I got six,
Speaker 3: just because five is like an uneven number. I like
Speaker 3: even numbers, and hey, I'm the sixth one in the house.
Speaker 2: So we get six good sized pumpkins.
Speaker 3: I get them all into the back of the trunk.
Speaker 3: I put them in. I'm like, both, everything is working out.
Speaker 3: This is like in a horror film. Never say I'll
Speaker 3: be right back, because you won't be back in Tory's life.
Speaker 3: Never say everything is working out. As soon as I
Speaker 3: say that, I start to go boom, the trunk flies open.
Speaker 3: We're down six pumpkins.
Speaker 2: They are rolling, rolling, rolling.
Speaker 3: Oh my voice isn't back yet. Okay, so we're in
Speaker 3: the parking lot, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2: But I mean.
Speaker 3: I might have gunned it for a second just to
Speaker 3: get us going just a little to start. So they
Speaker 3: flew and they are rolling. I don't know, I guess
Speaker 3: the parking lot not very even.
Speaker 2: They are rolling.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, and Bog's mom pumpkins down, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's me putting on the brake. Bo and I jump
Speaker 3: out of the car. I'm like careful, careful, and they
Speaker 3: are just rolling and rolling and I'm like run, So
Speaker 3: we run, we grab them. It's a few scratches, but
Speaker 3: you can just turn the those around. Shout out to
Speaker 3: only one woman who stopped and came over and said,
Speaker 3: oh my god, can I you okay, can I help you?
Speaker 3: Everyone else just walked by looking at me like dumb ass,
Speaker 3: and I was like, okay, noted. Kindness goes a long
Speaker 3: wait people. So anyway, this one woman. But you know me,
Speaker 3: I'm stubborn, strong, brave, resilient and fault. I say no, no, no,
Speaker 3: thank you very much. I appreciate you stopping. No one
Speaker 3: else did we got it. I should have let her
Speaker 3: help me. So anyway, get all the pumpkins back in,
Speaker 3: we go home. Median costume Boom at the doors, doorfront, Uh,
Speaker 3: take it in.
Speaker 2: Bo tries it on, he loves it. It's great.
Speaker 3: I was like, cool, let's go to bed, go to bed.
Speaker 3: Great wake up. He looked great. At his Halloween parade,
Speaker 3: great ps. Half the kids weren't even in costume. Half
Speaker 3: the kids had like a piece of their costume on
Speaker 3: because this is interesting. This year. If you looked for
Speaker 3: in the kids section and all the Halloween stores, it
Speaker 3: was all one inflatable costumes, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: like I don't want my.
Speaker 2: Eight year old to have to deal with that.
Speaker 3: Like if I saw one more like Gina Amost like
Speaker 3: Skimmity toilet. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: It was like puppy like dinosaur like.
Speaker 3: Uh. They were all inflatable giant ones. The kids had
Speaker 3: their backpack. They looked miserable in that prey and those inflatables.
Speaker 3: So as a mom, I was like, eh, I'm not
Speaker 3: getting him an inflatable.
Speaker 2: And horror costumes in the kids section.
Speaker 3: Horror, I'm like.
Speaker 2: Really for kids size four.
Speaker 3: T that's four toddler h four? What? Anyway, costumes ain't
Speaker 3: what they used to be, which is why I am
Speaker 3: the Diyre Hall of Famer. Okay, next day, everything's on track,
Speaker 3: parade's great, boat's happy, pick him up, All the kids
Speaker 3: are home from school. We carve our pumpkins. They looked
Speaker 3: really great. I was crushing them. I'm like, okay, we
Speaker 3: got some hours till Halloween, till we're going to get
Speaker 3: the trigger treating everything was good, and then I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't have a costume. And at this point, you know,
Speaker 3: you know me, there's no me.
Speaker 2: It's all kids, kids, kids.
Speaker 3: But I really love dressing up. I've always dressed up.
Speaker 3: And so I said, oh, I don't have a costume,
Speaker 3: and my kids are like, oh, Mom, you had to
Speaker 3: put something on, like you don't want to look like
Speaker 3: you're not in the spirit of Halloween. I'm like, don't
Speaker 3: say spirit not going there. So I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, you guys, I'll figure it out. I always do.
Speaker 3: So Pattie and I go to Target and she had
Speaker 3: to get one last thing for her costume, and I
Speaker 3: had to get Manti, my dog, some food. So we're
Speaker 3: in the section and I'm really trying through this process
Speaker 3: of laying bad for three weeks and having weight too
Speaker 3: much time to think about my life. It was a
Speaker 3: good thing.
Speaker 2: Actually, it's like self help, no choice.
Speaker 3: I ran out of Netflix shows to watch, so I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go. I'm learning that my instinct is
Speaker 3: usually dead on, Like when something hits me or I
Speaker 3: see something, it's not like I'm just randomly seeing it
Speaker 3: or it hits me. There's a reason for it. It's
Speaker 3: a sign for something to come. So I'm really trying
Speaker 3: to tap into that. My brother and I have been
Speaker 3: talking a lot about it, and my brother's a life
Speaker 3: coach and he really believes in finding that. And he's like,
Speaker 3: you're really insightful and intuitive, and you need to trust
Speaker 3: your intuition better if I'm listening to people. So as
Speaker 3: we're walking in the dog section, my brain and vision
Speaker 3: go rip over to the dog toys and there's a
Speaker 3: lot of different ones. There's a pizza dog toy, like
Speaker 3: a stuffy like a stuffed slice of pizza. And I
Speaker 3: was like, something I don't know what it is, is
Speaker 3: telling me that's my costume. So I grab it and
Speaker 3: I grab two. I'm like, it could be like a
Speaker 3: Princess Leiah thing. You know. I loved diy glue gun headband.
Speaker 3: I'll put two pizza slices on my ears. It was pepperoni,
Speaker 3: which I love the shade of pepperoni. What's the shade
Speaker 3: of pepperoni. It's almost like a burgundy mixed with a
Speaker 3: coral has orange undertones. Oh god, I love a good
Speaker 3: color palette. Pantones are my jam. Anyway, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: so I could wear a cute ta pants. Got my things,
Speaker 3: let's go. I can put little pepperoni like with a
Speaker 3: lip pencil on my face. So I get them and
Speaker 3: then I get to the front and Hattie, who is
Speaker 3: super diy too dushed my kid. She says, mom, what
Speaker 3: if you make the pepperoni slices a bikini And then
Speaker 3: one of them is like the bikini bottom. It's like
Speaker 3: a total bikini, three of them, and I was like,
Speaker 3: a bikini. I'm not going to wear a bikini. And
Speaker 3: then I was like, okay, well I can do something
Speaker 3: with this. So I went back and I got three
Speaker 3: from my bikini. I got one because now I'm going
Speaker 3: to like make a pepperoni pizza fascinator. The royals would
Speaker 3: love me and do like one headband. So it's a
Speaker 3: skew and I'm like, okay, I got this. And then
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, wait, I'm not gonna wear a bikini
Speaker 3: by itself. So I ran and I found a T
Speaker 3: shirt that I'm going to cut put.
Speaker 2: The bikini over it, and cute little shorts.
Speaker 3: And then I found a pair of socks that I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'll cut into leg warmers anyway, Anyway, long story short,
Speaker 3: I go home and help everyone else get ready and
Speaker 3: in the meantime make this DIY costume and then food
Speaker 3: for thought. You guys, remember when I was saying I
Speaker 3: didn't know why, but when my kids were little, I
Speaker 3: always made them food costumes. Full circle, You're back to
Speaker 3: wearing food yourself. That's a little crazy, right, And I
Speaker 3: didn't even tend this. I made myself a DIY food costume.
Speaker 3: It's all coming back. So I make this costume. It's
Speaker 3: I think, super super cute. And I decided like, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna you know, you know me, I'm not just
Speaker 3: gonna be like, huh, what are you slice of pepperoni pizza?
Speaker 3: So I'm looking for good puns. Of course, in my
Speaker 3: no time to get everyone ready and get out the door,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna be you know how,
Speaker 3: there's D and D. Do you guys know what D
Speaker 3: and D are is? Yep, showing age Adri for the wind,
Speaker 3: Dungeons and dragons. So everyone's like, oh, I'm playing D
Speaker 3: and D. Oh are you D and D?
Speaker 2: It's like that jam.
Speaker 3: So in the spirit of Dungeons and Dragons, I took
Speaker 3: that D and d and I'm just telling you guys
Speaker 3: this aka everyone listening here on Instagram. I kind of
Speaker 3: reeled back so I didn't get dragged.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I know.
Speaker 3: What I am because I have my slice on my
Speaker 3: boobs slices, I have my slice on my bikini area.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, I'm every basic boys dream
Speaker 3: Pizza and pussy.
Speaker 2: Classic P and P.
Speaker 3: But for the sake of everyone on Halloween, I just said,
Speaker 3: I'm the way to a basic boy's heart pizza. I
Speaker 3: love that.
Speaker 2: So we go.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding though, you guys, and Dean, my ex,
Speaker 3: went with us. So it was great.
Speaker 2: Everyone got to be together.
Speaker 3: Of Course, I have older teens seventeen and eighteen, and
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 2: Like, we had parties to go to. But here's what
Speaker 2: I loved. Stella says. I said, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 3: Oh it's happened, and she goes, but mom, I still
Speaker 3: love trick or treating. Can I come with you guys first,
Speaker 3: and then I'm going to go. I'm like, yeah, of course.
Speaker 3: By the way, shout out to our neighborhood that doesn't
Speaker 3: decorate because of hoa, Bo and Finn went a couple
Speaker 3: of doors down as we were getting ready. It was
Speaker 3: still light out, super safe, right on the sidewalk and
Speaker 3: Bo came back and goes, the guy didn't have candy,
Speaker 3: but he gave me two fives. I go, you got
Speaker 3: ten dollars. Great, And then I asked for the address
Speaker 3: and stop by myself. I know I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: maybe I need to take a trick or trading in
Speaker 3: your evehood. I know. I mean it was a boy.
Speaker 3: He might have liked my costume. Damn, I might have
Speaker 3: gotten one hundred. Yeah. Anyway, so all the kids come,
Speaker 3: all five kids, and we have a bunch of their
Speaker 3: friends with us, and we all pile into two cars.
Speaker 3: Castella drives now, which is so great. So take us
Speaker 3: off and we go to the neighborhood that we always
Speaker 3: traditionally go every single year. We go to Hidden Hills,
Speaker 3: which is great and it's just tradition for the kids.
Speaker 3: And they're always like, Mom, there's rich people there. They
Speaker 3: get full size candy bars. They do. Actually. Uh. So
Speaker 3: we go there and we drive in, we park and
Speaker 3: we're walking around. I got to tell you, I can't
Speaker 3: tell you how many women And Mom stopped me and
Speaker 3: said last and said, oh my god, I love that costume.
Speaker 3: And then you know, you always get a vibe for
Speaker 3: who like has what humor. I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: Basic Boys dream pizza and they're like, no, it's so good.
Speaker 2: The whole thing's just so funny and good.
Speaker 3: I was like, thank you. And then the ones I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, I'm intuitive, I can read you. I
Speaker 3: was like, P and P, pizza and pussy, it's all
Speaker 3: Basic boys care about. And she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I love you. So so we're walking and everything's going
Speaker 3: great and it's crowded and the kids are getting.
Speaker 2: Full size bars because we usually go too late.
Speaker 3: And all the candy's gone and it didn't happen. And
Speaker 3: we're walking and on one of the big streets, I'm
Speaker 3: walking and I look up and I'm like, oh, there's
Speaker 3: Kim k and you know, the Kardashians are famous in
Speaker 3: hidden Hills, and she's with group and she's dressed as
Speaker 3: a pink care bear, like just so a onesie. In fact,
Speaker 3: I had just seen that onesie at Target and it
Speaker 3: was one of those things that was like I've mentioned
Speaker 3: like the celebrity nod when celebrities like oh I know you,
Speaker 3: I know you, so you nod at each other. But
Speaker 3: it wasn't that I've known Kim like my whole life.
Speaker 3: We grew up together. She was best friends with my brother.
Speaker 3: She's a little younger than me, she's my brother's age,
Speaker 3: and they, I mean, she was over at the manor
Speaker 3: all the time, Like it was like Paris Kim, Like
Speaker 3: they were really good friends. So in turn, like we
Speaker 3: were family friends. I mean, Chris Jenner told Stella that
Speaker 3: she's her grandma and was like when she was young,
Speaker 3: and she was like, call me anytime, I'm your grandma.
Speaker 2: That's how like close we are.
Speaker 3: Kylie and Kendall I didn't grow up with they were younger,
Speaker 3: so I don't know them as well. But Kim, Courtney, Chloe,
Speaker 3: Chris obviously like I love them.
Speaker 2: They're they're really good humans.
Speaker 3: Anyway. I have this weird thing though, and my best
Speaker 3: friend Miran has always said it. When I was younger
Speaker 3: and we'd be out at like Hollywood parties or clubs
Speaker 3: and there'd be other celebrities. He'd be like, so and
Speaker 3: so is looking over here, like kind of trying to
Speaker 3: get your attention, like do you see them? And I
Speaker 3: was like not looking, and I'm like I see them,
Speaker 3: and he's like, say hi. They want to say hi
Speaker 3: to you, and you won't even like meet their eyes, like,
Speaker 3: and I said no, and he's like, why that makes
Speaker 3: you look rude, And I'm like, no, it's not that.
Speaker 3: It's a confidence thing, like I get so nervous. You
Speaker 3: wouldn't know. I'm sure right and with the public and
Speaker 3: with fans, I'm able to pull it together to be
Speaker 3: kind and give them joy. But when it comes to me,
Speaker 3: or perhaps it's also because my whole life, people want
Speaker 3: to talk to me because I'm famous that I'm like
Speaker 3: anyone famous. I'm like, let me give them a break.
Speaker 3: They don't want to talk to people. They just want
Speaker 3: to be with their friends and have fun.
Speaker 2: So it's me, it's not them.
Speaker 3: But I'm really good at clocking people, so out of
Speaker 3: the corner of my eye, without like letting her know
Speaker 3: I'm looking at her, I can see that she looks
Speaker 3: at me, she talks, says something to her friend. They
Speaker 3: look over at me, and I'm like, oh, Kim sees
Speaker 3: I'm here. I know Kim's here, and I'm like, I
Speaker 3: haven't seen her in so long, And I was like, God,
Speaker 3: it'd be great to reconnect, and I walked away and didn't,
Speaker 3: and I was kind of bummed at myself because I
Speaker 3: was like, I grew up with Paris and we were
Speaker 3: friends for years and lost touch, and I recently went
Speaker 3: to her housewarming party and we reconnect and we've stayed
Speaker 3: in touch and weren't such a different peer in our
Speaker 3: lives now that we're both moms and we've gone through
Speaker 3: so much, and it was just like.
Speaker 2: It felt really good.
Speaker 3: It felt good to put myself back out there and
Speaker 3: reconnect with people that were a part of my childhood,
Speaker 3: part of my formative years. And anyway, so I love Paris,
Speaker 3: but in my head, I'm like, you just reconnected with
Speaker 3: Paris again. You guys are back and friends again. You
Speaker 3: should reconnect with Kimmy. You guys were always really great together.
Speaker 3: But I couldn't. I was nervous. So then I walked
Speaker 3: and kept walking, and then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 3: see Jessica Simpson and I'm like, Okay, these are like
Speaker 3: signs coming at me. Trust my signs that I'm supposed
Speaker 3: to reconnect with people I used to be friends with
Speaker 3: in the Hollywood circle. Sorry this sounds so weird, but
Speaker 3: not trust here so for some reason, I don't know why,
Speaker 3: and she, like Kim, had tons of people around her.
Speaker 3: I'm making excuses. I was nervous to go up, but
Speaker 3: Jessica was just by herself, walking with kids like it
Speaker 3: was like, not as big a deal. But I took
Speaker 3: note and I said, you know what, I'm in my
Speaker 3: changing face. I am shedding the old you know, things
Speaker 3: that didn't serve me. And Brian Green says, Tory two
Speaker 3: point zero. Toy two point zero needs to step out
Speaker 3: of her comfort box and move forward and evolve. So
Speaker 3: I walked up to her. I'm like Jessica, and she's like, Hi, give.
Speaker 2: Each other a big hug.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen each other in probably twenty five years. Maybe
Speaker 3: interesting fact she was a serial killer. She had cereal
Speaker 3: boxes DII wide all over herself and here I am
Speaker 3: with pizza. I felt pretty silly with my pizza head piece.
Speaker 3: But anyway, give her a big hug. And she looks
Speaker 3: at me, knowing because we both know what we've both
Speaker 3: been going through, right, and she goes, how are you?
Speaker 3: And you know, when fans asked me how are you?
Speaker 3: I put on a brave face. I don't know. I
Speaker 3: don't lie.
Speaker 2: I say okay or doing well.
Speaker 3: She goes, how are you like that, like knowing like
Speaker 3: I know you've been through some shit. And I was
Speaker 3: like eh, and I go, how are you looking at her?
Speaker 3: Knowing she's been through some shit? And she's like eh.
Speaker 3: And I go, well, we're still standing and she goes yep,
Speaker 3: got to keep going and I go no other choice
Speaker 3: and she goes nope. And it was this like beautiful
Speaker 3: quick banter where it's like we didn't have to catch
Speaker 3: up for twenty five years. We were just like we're
Speaker 3: on the same page. And we took a photo together.
Speaker 3: I was like, love you, love you, gave her a
Speaker 3: hug and walked away, and I was like in my mind,
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I got to keep in touch with
Speaker 3: like like she understands she's going through similar things I'm
Speaker 3: going through, Like it would probably be nice to have
Speaker 3: someone that kind of is on the same parallel. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So I walk away from her and I see Kim again.
Speaker 3: Now I'm feeling all confident. I'm like, that was beautiful, Okay,
Speaker 3: new toy.
Speaker 2: I got this. I'm gonna say hi to.
Speaker 3: My old friends. So at this point, Kim has moved
Speaker 3: up a little bit. She's beyond me.
Speaker 2: She's like a little past me.
Speaker 3: And she's walking with her friends and kids. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go in. Nope, she's past me. And so
Speaker 3: Dean comes up and he said, I said, oh, I
Speaker 3: just saw Jessica Simpson. He knows me so well.
Speaker 2: And he goes and you talked to her, and I.
Speaker 3: Go, yeah, knew me. I went up and said hi.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm so proud of you because he would
Speaker 3: always in the past encourage me, like you know, these
Speaker 3: people go say hi.
Speaker 2: They want to say hi to you, like say hi.
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, Kim.
Speaker 3: Kardashian's here, and he's like, did you say hi? And
Speaker 3: I said, oh, no, I kind of saw her. And
Speaker 3: then now now she's up there, and he said you
Speaker 3: should go say hi. And I said, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling real confident like Jessica and I just had
Speaker 3: a great conversation and a great heart to heart within seconds.
Speaker 3: And I said I don't know, I don't know. And
Speaker 3: he said no, no, no, no, no, you should go say hi.
Speaker 3: And I said, okay, fine, I'll do it. So, like
Speaker 3: I said, she's a little bit ahead of me. With
Speaker 3: the group, and so I literally my heart's pounding, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, you got this, you got this. I wasn't
Speaker 3: saying it out loud, that'd be creepy. There were people around,
Speaker 3: but in my head, I'm like, you got this, you
Speaker 3: got this. And then you know when you have that
Speaker 3: one fight or flight moment, and I was just like
Speaker 3: and go time.
Speaker 2: So I stepped it all in and I was like whoa.
Speaker 3: I was like in my head and I literally turned
Speaker 3: to the left, her groups ahead of me, and I
Speaker 3: go Kim, and I have my arms out, like my
Speaker 3: hands out like I'm going into like like hi wave,
Speaker 3: She'll turn around, be like toy. And as I do this,
Speaker 3: a bodyguard comes out of nowhere and boom, an arm
Speaker 3: blocking me right across me and he goes, excuse me,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry no, And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: And in my head here's what went on. Wow. Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 2: She's a huge celebrity. Every fan the world is always.
Speaker 3: Like Jim, Kim, Kam Kim, and here I am just
Speaker 3: her old friend Tory from thirty years ago. And I
Speaker 3: bum rushed Kim Kardashian and then got like body slammed
Speaker 3: by her bodyguard. Now I've replayed this many times I have.
Speaker 3: I felt so shamed. My heart dropped into my feet
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm never saying anyone again. Here
Speaker 3: we go. See, Dean was really great about it. He
Speaker 3: talked me through. I mean, there was one second in
Speaker 3: me that wanted to say no, no, no, Hi, it's
Speaker 3: Tori Spelling.
Speaker 2: I grew up with Kim.
Speaker 3: Can you ask her she knows me, like, to try
Speaker 3: to validate myself. She had already moved ahead. She never
Speaker 3: heard me say Kim. She never saw me at that moment.
Speaker 3: And you know what, the bodyguard didn't know who I was.
Speaker 3: He was doing his job. And actually, and when I
Speaker 3: say he body slammed me, he didn't hurt me at all.
Speaker 3: They're very professional. He just put an arm right across
Speaker 3: me like nope, you're not walking any further. He was
Speaker 3: very kind. So I don't want to say that I'm
Speaker 3: saying he was means me. It wasn't that at all.
Speaker 3: He was doing his job, and you know, he was
Speaker 3: just like, here's some crazy bitch with pizza all over
Speaker 3: her like and then he was like, ooh is that pepperoni? No,
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: But I did walk away and.
Speaker 3: I was like oom bom, like I felt like such
Speaker 3: an idiot.
Speaker 2: And I said to Dean, oh my god.
Speaker 3: I told him what happened, and he had watched the
Speaker 3: whole thing from Afar, and I said, oh my.
Speaker 2: God, this stuff like this has.
Speaker 3: Happened to me. When I'm out and there's like a
Speaker 3: lot of fans and we have bodyguards, like some crazy
Speaker 3: girl just comes Tory, like the body's guard's gonna be
Speaker 3: like no, no, no, no no. And I was like,
Speaker 3: in my head, I pronounced it so much. I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I bum rush her, like it was
Speaker 3: like in slow motion in my head playing out that.
Speaker 2: I was like curl.
Speaker 3: Like hands stretch, lunging at her. And Dean's like, I
Speaker 3: watched the whole thing. You barely did anything. You were
Speaker 3: just like Kim. And I was like, are you sure,
Speaker 3: And he's like yeah, and he's like, reach out to her,
Speaker 3: let her know that you tried to say hi at Halloween.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know. I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: I came home and I was like I cannot believe
Speaker 3: that that just happened. Of course it did. It's my life.
Speaker 2: But AnyWho, that's pretty I would be upset.
Speaker 3: You would okay, yeah, fair, I would be totally humiliated.
Speaker 2: In my head. I'm not saying you should.
Speaker 3: Be, but I totally would be like horrified, horrified. Especially
Speaker 3: I'm telling you guys and Danne, you know me well, like.
Speaker 2: It's so ingrained in me.
Speaker 3: I'm an extroverted introvert, Like it's it's my worst nightmare
Speaker 3: to actually say hi to someone and get like blocked
Speaker 3: by the anyway, I'm just saying, Kim, if you happen,
Speaker 3: if this gets back to you, slid into.
Speaker 2: My DMS, I just wanted to say hi.
Speaker 3: And the thing is, I got home and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, I text my brother right away.
Speaker 3: I call him Jeanie. His middle name is Jeane Randall
Speaker 3: Jean spelling, and I'm like, Genie, I'm like, this happen.
Speaker 3: He goes, no, because Kim was his friend, like you know, forever,
Speaker 3: and he's like no, and he's like, oh, tee, you
Speaker 3: know she loves you, And I'm like, she didn't even see.
Speaker 3: I'm like, just he goes, this would only happen to you,
Speaker 3: and I will you. I can't believe you haven't reached
Speaker 3: out to her. You should absolutely reach out to her.
Speaker 3: That's why I have this podcast.
Speaker 2: This text for the episode wants.
Speaker 3: Kim. I stupidly, when we both saw each other didn't
Speaker 3: come up and say hi to you. I should have
Speaker 3: come up and given you a hug and say hi
Speaker 3: my old friend, and I didn't, and I'm bum that
Speaker 3: we didn't get to connect. So so reach out. I'm
Speaker 3: proud of everything you've done. I love you anyway. So
Speaker 3: that was Halloween. We came home, everyone had a great time.
Speaker 3: It went smoothly, except I was exiled from Kim kardashian motourage.
Speaker 3: It sounds so much better to be like I bum rushed.
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian was body slammed by her bodyguard. I literally
Speaker 3: was picturing him like tackling you onto the ground and
Speaker 3: like your fake Pasa flying off of you. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: that I mean it was. It didn't hurt at all,
Speaker 3: but he came the arm right in, right across, like
Speaker 3: under my shoulder blades, and that was like, whoa, I mean,
Speaker 3: any lower you might have popped a tit and an implant.
Speaker 3: I know we need to film a reenactment kind of
Speaker 3: and it's slow moment. I'm like then he's like no,
Speaker 3: I'm just imagine if I said to him, just ask her.
Speaker 2: She knows me.
Speaker 1: Okay, pal, okay, you with a pizza on your head. O.
Speaker 1: The funny part is I was taking pictures because Hidden
Speaker 1: Hills has great the white.
Speaker 3: Fences and the beam lights. It's like great lighting. So
Speaker 3: when we were driving out, I was like, I have
Speaker 3: no picture on my costume. There's no proof it happened.
Speaker 3: And so I asked you and I said, hey, will
Speaker 3: you take a picture? And he did, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: crowds down because I thought it was funny because the
Speaker 3: pizza goes like a pie in between you know, you're
Speaker 3: but it was like a cute little lungey like I
Speaker 3: thought it was artsy whatever. A golf cart goes by
Speaker 3: and these teenagers go, oh god, that's so my mom.
Speaker 3: She would dress like that. No, yeah, meaning not age appropriate. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I don't dress age appropriate. I don't care.
Speaker 3: On my Instagram, I posted my costume and so I
Speaker 3: mean I would say ninety five percent. People were like,
Speaker 3: that's so funny, so cute, adorable, love it. I love
Speaker 3: your creativity. You're funny, Da da da. But you know,
Speaker 3: there's always the snarky ones that are just like they
Speaker 3: always say the same thing. It's like, get original, like
Speaker 3: get creative with what you're gonna say, Like, let me
Speaker 3: think of a pun for you instead of just being like.
Speaker 2: Dress or age like dress age appropriate and.
Speaker 3: It's like, why you, guys, I just had an exorcism.
Speaker 3: I saw my life flight out of my nose mouth
Speaker 3: and ass like, I don't want to dress my age.
Speaker 3: Life is too short to not dress how you want
Speaker 3: and feel good.
Speaker 2: But by the way, it's a costume, you know.
Speaker 3: I get that all the time. Though I'll wear overalls
Speaker 3: and people are like, dress your age. I'm like, God,
Speaker 3: you know what a sad event it is when a
Speaker 3: woman is like, oh, I can't wear that, but I
Speaker 3: respond to it. It speaks to me, it brings me joy,
Speaker 3: but I'm too old to wear it. No, e like,
Speaker 3: age shouldn't limit us. We limit ourselves, not our actual
Speaker 3: number of age. Like do what you want because you
Speaker 3: know what it's gonna be over one day, and do
Speaker 3: what you want. Amen's sister, whooh preach God. I am
Speaker 3: back with a vengeance you guys. I missed you, guys.
Speaker 3: I miss I was in my bed speaking in my
Speaker 3: head because I had no one to talk to. My
Speaker 3: kids would help take care of me, but they didn't
Speaker 3: want it to hear me like blah blah blah. And
Speaker 3: I was too stick to even Ruth and those.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even text.
Speaker 3: It's a dark day when I can't text, like I'm
Speaker 3: a texter. And I was like, boy, she really must
Speaker 3: be sick. Yeah, she's sick, but like just you know,
Speaker 3: thinking about life. So it's so nice to be back
Speaker 3: and have an outlet and I can tell my stories
Speaker 3: because my stories I hope bring you joy, but they
Speaker 3: bring me joy to be able to talk and share
Speaker 3: my experiences. So thank you, misspelling audience. I love you
Speaker 3: guys very much. Oh I'm gonna leave you on this note.
Speaker 3: We go to Halloween Horror Night's at Universal every single year.
Speaker 3: It is a family tradition. Anna Stagia Leie love her.
Speaker 3: She always helps us out and gets us. You know,
Speaker 3: we we get the sorry guys, I know, not normal,
Speaker 3: but we do get a tour and we get all
Speaker 3: that and we post. But it's such a special experience
Speaker 3: and she I've been doing it for like ten years
Speaker 3: or longer. So and it's so nice when my kids
Speaker 3: got older because I used to go with my girlfriends,
Speaker 3: and it's like it got to the point where my
Speaker 3: kids were old enough to go. Obviously Bo can't go,
Speaker 3: but Liam and Stella, Hattie and Finn went, and we
Speaker 3: want some friends and you know, the people that we
Speaker 3: care about that we go every year with. And I
Speaker 3: kept pushing it and I kept saying, I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 3: so sick, I'm so sick. We were just in the
Speaker 3: like second week of October, and I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm going to do. And she was
Speaker 3: so nice. She was like, don't worry, don't worry. We'll
Speaker 3: get you another date. We'll get you another date. And
Speaker 3: then at one point she was like, do you just
Speaker 3: want someone to bring the kids? Will allow that because
Speaker 3: I know it's so special to them. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm coming. I'm going to make it happen. So we
Speaker 3: went on the very last night, second to last night
Speaker 3: on Saturday, and it was you know, Halloween was over,
Speaker 3: but what a nice extension of Halloween to get to go,
Speaker 3: and it did not disappoint. It was amazing as usual.
Speaker 3: So thank you, Hollywood Horror Nights Universal. We love you
Speaker 3: so much. Dedicated to you for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3: Had a great time. And so the movie Megan, which
Speaker 3: is like the you know robot doll that kills like
Speaker 3: is a big thing there. It was big last year.
Speaker 3: The Megan character is like everywhere this year and like
Speaker 3: all like other mazes, she appears and stuff. I can
Speaker 3: say this now because it's over this year. But there's
Speaker 3: one part where you know, there's like black phone two
Speaker 3: and you can like they're there and you can take
Speaker 3: a picture with them in the phone booth, and you know,
Speaker 3: Norman Bates is always there at the Psycho Motel and
Speaker 3: you can take a picture and he pretends like he's
Speaker 3: stobbing you and you're like, oh, so the Megan thing
Speaker 3: is set up, and you know they're very they usher
Speaker 3: people in, you know, so everything moves along responsibly. So
Speaker 3: they're bringing people up, and they everyone comes to her
Speaker 3: left side because of where she's positioned. Everyone comes to
Speaker 3: her left side because where she's positioned, and they I
Speaker 3: don't break character, and my kids come through. My kids
Speaker 3: come through. It's my turn. I don't want to hold
Speaker 3: things up. But I'm like, oh my god. So the
Speaker 3: way she's positioned, because the sets behind her in the
Speaker 3: lights and they want people to keep moving. Everyone comes
Speaker 3: over to her left side, takes a photo, and then
Speaker 3: they move people out. So I come in and I'm
Speaker 3: like in my head, I'm like, this is my bad side. Okay.
Speaker 3: So I literally walk up to her and I go,
Speaker 3: this is my bad side. I'm sorry, and she breaks character.
Speaker 3: She looks over and she goes, I got you, and.
Speaker 2: She switched places.
Speaker 3: She switched places so I could have my right side showing,
Speaker 3: and then she went right back to like the mannequin afterwards,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, this is genius.
Speaker 3: I felt like Barbara storysin do you guys know this story?
Speaker 2: So Barbara's and so Jay.
Speaker 3: Leno infamously like famously the desk and all of the
Speaker 3: guests sit on the couch to his right, you know,
Speaker 3: years on the Tonight Show and Barbara Streisan, I think,
Speaker 3: is the only person because she has one good side
Speaker 3: that for every time she came on, they literally moved
Speaker 3: the set so she was on the other side of him. Anyway, popa,
Speaker 3: do you hear me? Megan heard me?
Speaker 2: I felt heard.
Speaker 3: So you know, hey, two out of three ain't bat
