Speaker 1: I really appreciate you guys joining us. So here's what
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this week. These days, when
Speaker 1: you think of a lifetime movie, you probably think about
Speaker 1: like Christmas movies, right, like those movies where a big
Speaker 1: city girl goes back to her hometown for like the
Speaker 1: Gingerbread Festival, reconnects with a good natured country boy, falls
Speaker 1: in love, learns the true media to Christmas. But there
Speaker 1: was a time in history where a lifetime movie was
Speaker 1: like always a gritty crime movie. There's one that I
Speaker 1: love that I used to watch a lot. It's called
Speaker 1: Cool Justice, a fall that gets revenge on a man
Speaker 1: who attacked his daughter. It's great, it's really thrilling. But
Speaker 1: in the universe of Gilmour girls, Laura I and Rory
Speaker 1: love lifetime movies too. They love them. They can't get enough.
Speaker 1: In a Year in the Life summer, Rory and Laura
Speaker 1: leer in the kitchen recovering from delivering papers all over
Speaker 1: stars hollow feed sore, they're tired. There's this beautiful montage
Speaker 1: set to these Boots were made for Walkie and Nancy Sinatra.
Speaker 1: You know that song? And Laura Lai says, last night
Speaker 1: was a blur and Rory says, what do we end
Speaker 1: up watching? Laura Lai replies, was it Baby Monitor, Sound
Speaker 1: of Fear or coed Call Girl? And Rory confidently reacts, no,
Speaker 1: I remember if we rocked the spelling and Laurie suggests, hey,
Speaker 1: they should make a lifetime movie out of that poor
Speaker 1: toy spelling. Following at Benny Hannah, Teppanyaki grill of Death's
Speaker 1: so funny. We love it. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this about toy spelling. She fell over at a
Speaker 1: Benny Hannah and got like third degree burns and it's terrible,
Speaker 1: but also like such a toy spelling moment. Tory such
Speaker 1: an icon. We know her from Beverly Hills, nine O
Speaker 1: two one oh. She's done so many things, so many
Speaker 1: great things. She's written a ton of books. She's had
Speaker 1: a real she's had reality shows fake and real. She
Speaker 1: has a new podcast on iHeartRadio called Misspelling. She hosts
Speaker 1: a podcast about nine O two one oh called nine
Speaker 1: two one OMG. That's also on iHeartRadio. We love toy spelling.
Speaker 1: She is such an icon. We're going to talk to her.
Speaker 1: She is sit across from me. I'm going to take
Speaker 1: her blindfold off. Tory, you are now allowed to speak.
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this. I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: Anything for you.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're so kind here. You have one
Speaker 1: of those voices that when you hear it, it gives
Speaker 1: me chills. Because it's like, this is Tory Spelling's you know,
Speaker 1: It's like it's such a unique and iconic voice that
Speaker 1: is instantly recognizable. So when I hear it, I get
Speaker 1: so excited. I don't know if anyone's ever told you
Speaker 1: that before, but.
Speaker 2: No one has ever talked about my voice. But I
Speaker 2: have something. I I think I have a terrible voice.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, it really like even as we're talking, I
Speaker 2: can hear myself and I'm like, I'm so annoyed by myself.
Speaker 2: Is he annoyed? Her listener is annoyed?
Speaker 1: Like, not only is it a pleasant voice to hear,
Speaker 1: it's very comforting. Your voice is in a meter that
Speaker 1: is very soothing to my brain. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of other people agree with me, but.
Speaker 2: Uh, is there a business here?
Speaker 1: I think there is.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm a creator, an idea person. Wait wait,
Speaker 2: so if my voice soothing, possibly I could Well it's
Speaker 2: not amr it would be.
Speaker 1: I mean I would listen to like you reading me
Speaker 1: a bedtime story.
Speaker 2: That's so different discussion.
Speaker 1: But like when before I got to know, So, just
Speaker 1: to set up for the audience, the audience does not
Speaker 1: know who I am. My name is Easton I'm hosting
Speaker 1: the show. It's called I Smell Pop Culture here on
Speaker 1: the I Amlin podcasts. And something they need to know
Speaker 1: is that Toy Spelling is my best friend. Tory Spelling
Speaker 1: is my friend. Yep. I've known Toy for four years now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I work on her podcast is now two and OMG
Speaker 1: and Miss Spelling, which are both available on iHeartRadio. But
Speaker 1: before I got to know you, before I start working
Speaker 1: with you, I would hear your voice on TV and
Speaker 1: in movies and it was like, so it was just
Speaker 1: one of those things where like I would get excited
Speaker 1: when I hear your voice because no one sounds like you.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to I just want to get
Speaker 1: that out of the way first and foremost.
Speaker 2: Soan you. I do like my giggle, such a good giggle,
Speaker 2: such a good gig. The only thing about my voice
Speaker 2: that I actually like, well so much to love.
Speaker 1: Tory was on a television show called Beverly Hills nine
Speaker 1: O two one O. And if you have not seen
Speaker 1: this show, it is such an important piece of television history.
Speaker 1: You need to watch it. It's so good. But I
Speaker 1: want to go back to the beginning. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk today about a TV movie that you did. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was called co Ed Call Girl.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into this more in a bit here.
Speaker 1: But when you were doing nine O two one O,
Speaker 1: you would do these like movies of the week, right,
Speaker 1: how did that work?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: You would you film these while you were doing nine
Speaker 1: to two and O?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh? It was doing like breaks in the in
Speaker 1: the schedule.
Speaker 2: Yes. So the first movie of the Week that I
Speaker 2: did was A Friend to Die For or Death of
Speaker 2: a Cheerleader. We talked about it. I'm the spelling, but
Speaker 2: that was like the first one I was offered, and
Speaker 2: that was like a big d and it was Monday
Speaker 2: nights were the TV movies and they were always on
Speaker 2: what were the only networks then which were I mean
Speaker 2: we were on Fox on nine O two and oh,
Speaker 2: but the three like mega ones were like NBC, ABC
Speaker 2: and CBS, And if you did a TV movie movie
Speaker 2: of the week, it would once a week they would
Speaker 2: have these movies. And yeah, we started they start rolling
Speaker 2: in because they were super successful. So all the girls
Speaker 2: and boys on nine O two and oh got offered them.
Speaker 2: I love to work, as you know, so we couldn't
Speaker 2: do anything else while we were filming nine, O, two
Speaker 2: and oh because the schedule was too crazy. So anytime
Speaker 2: we got a hiatus, which would be twice a year,
Speaker 2: so we would have our summer hiatus and then we
Speaker 2: would have our winter one, I would go do a
Speaker 2: TV movie the summer one was longer, or I did
Speaker 2: a couple like indie films back then, but the summers
Speaker 2: were longer, so I would always get two TV movies
Speaker 2: in back to back and then go back to work
Speaker 2: in nine on too and O the winter break was shorter,
Speaker 2: so I would film one only one oh one. So
Speaker 2: Coed Call Girl originally on CBS.
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty six sounds good to me. Yeah, Jerry Ryan
Speaker 1: was in it too.
Speaker 2: Who was on it?
Speaker 1: Became seven of nine on Star Treks.
Speaker 2: She was, Yes, we played hookers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you were co Ed's that became hookers Ladies
Speaker 1: of the Night, the world's oldest profession. Yeah right. The
Speaker 1: reason we're talking about Coed Call Girl is because it
Speaker 1: was mentioned in Gilmore Girls, What a Year in the Life,
Speaker 1: which is the Netflix revival. The two the mom and daughter,
Speaker 1: Laura and Rory. They're having a conversation and they're asking,
Speaker 1: what did we watched last night and lourle I says,
Speaker 1: was it Coed Call Girl? And then Rory says, I
Speaker 1: would have known if we had seen a spelling what
Speaker 1: And as a fan of yours, I got really excited
Speaker 1: when I saw it. I was like, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: you would. But that movie clearly made an impact on
Speaker 1: the writers of Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, like I'm blushing and I'm feeling all
Speaker 2: hot inside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Amy Sherman Palladino clearly loves Coed Call Girl. I
Speaker 1: think it got. It was kind of like in the
Speaker 1: early Lifetime movies, We're kind of like that same thing.
Speaker 2: Yep, it definitely got. It wasn't you know, Okay, let's
Speaker 2: face it. I took that one strictly because of the name.
Speaker 2: I was like, really, yeah, kidding me. I was like,
Speaker 2: gohed call Girl, I'm in. I didn't even open a
Speaker 2: page and read it. I was like, yes, of course.
Speaker 2: Like I played Donna Martin the Virgin on the show
Speaker 2: on nine O two and zero, I was like, now
Speaker 2: I'm going to be a hooker. Perfect No, but it
Speaker 2: was fun. I got so many different costumes and I
Speaker 2: got to, you know, be a different type of girl.
Speaker 2: So that was a really fun role. And I got
Speaker 2: to say that I really want to remake that movie
Speaker 2: because it did it was it was so bad it
Speaker 2: was good. It was one of those it became like
Speaker 2: a cult followed TV movie and not for the right reasons.
Speaker 2: And anyway, I want to remake that one. And instead
Speaker 2: of being like there's I'm like the student that gets
Speaker 2: hired and there's the pimp and you know he, I
Speaker 2: want to be the madam. I have all like the
Speaker 2: teen girls, like not teen girls, sorry, college age girls,
Speaker 2: you know, come work for me. So yeah, just putting
Speaker 2: it out there into the realm.
Speaker 1: I think people would love that. That is a great idea.
Speaker 1: How long did it take to shoot that movie? Do
Speaker 1: you remember?
Speaker 2: I think like three weeks three weeks.
Speaker 1: And I love the idea that you're like doing this
Speaker 1: crazy big TV show and then like during your breaks
Speaker 1: you're going to making these movies that I mean, the
Speaker 1: work ethic of toy Spelling is I'm paralleled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't have had it otherwise. I yeah, some
Speaker 2: people were taking vacations and I was like no, Like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, so is it.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I think is so interesting is
Speaker 1: like if this must have since an O or two.
Speaker 1: And I especially like this must happen to you all
Speaker 1: the time where you're like watching TV, you're watching a
Speaker 1: movie and someone like mentions your name? Does that? How
Speaker 1: like do you remember a specific moment where that happened?
Speaker 1: Does that come to mind other.
Speaker 2: Than like TMZ or like what are we talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like like, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If someone mentions like Don Martin or something in a
Speaker 1: movie like does that?
Speaker 2: I don't feel like it happens all the time, but
Speaker 2: it definitely like I remember with my friends. This is
Speaker 2: going back though, like going to see the Brady Bunch
Speaker 2: movie with like my friends and they're like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: did you get the new Tory spelling perfume or something?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: And my friends were like what And I'm like what?
Speaker 2: And I was like fangirling out because it was like
Speaker 2: in the Brady Bunch movie and I had no idea
Speaker 2: what was going to be in there. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: like Once in a Blue Moon when it happens or
Speaker 2: my like kids just realized like the that song was
Speaker 2: it Supermodel? Is it from Clueless? Like I want a
Speaker 2: car like Tory spell or god like tory spelling, Like
Speaker 2: I don't know whatever I mean.
Speaker 1: You are, You're a pop culture icon. Something else I
Speaker 1: think is so fascinating is that you're in Scream two.
Speaker 1: You're playing yourself in Scream two. Yes, and then you're
Speaker 1: in Scary Movie Too, like the parody of Skin. There's
Speaker 1: so many layers on that. I like, how did you
Speaker 1: get involved in scary movie? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 2: It's so funny when I compare those two, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was in Scream two and then playing myself and
Speaker 2: playing Sidney Prescott. Yeah, like I And then I was
Speaker 2: in Scary Movie Too. I'm like, oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 2: I guess I always get cast in the sequel of something,
Speaker 2: but I never even thought about it. That Scary Movie
Speaker 2: Too is a take a spoof on scary movies like Scream,
Speaker 2: and like, sorry, I never got real meta there. I
Speaker 2: auditioned for it.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just went in like casting call, like so
Speaker 2: many girls out there, went in read it. I remember
Speaker 2: then getting a callback and I read for Keenan Wayans
Speaker 2: and somehow I didn't realize there was a second scene.
Speaker 2: So I got there and he's like, okay, great second scene,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I didn't get the second scene,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, this is it. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to move any further. And then he was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: if we give it to you, can you go out
Speaker 2: and come back in, which is technically called a cold reading,
Speaker 2: and when they give you something, you go out and
Speaker 2: you come right back in, like you get five minutes
Speaker 2: to look it over. And so all these other girls
Speaker 2: had studied it and I had to come back in.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm never going to get this. And
Speaker 2: it's actually one of the audition scenes was one of
Speaker 2: the scenes where I'm having sex with the ghost and
Speaker 2: I was like, how far do you go in a
Speaker 2: room when there's writers and producers sitting there in cha
Speaker 2: looking at you in the small office and you're just
Speaker 2: standing in front of them, And that was one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then the monologue when I first meet meet Anna
Speaker 2: Faris's character. But yeah, so wait, was it that scene
Speaker 2: or when I was waxing my puff? And that scene
Speaker 2: was deleted but you can find it on YouTube. I
Speaker 2: just watched it the other night, not that I look
Speaker 2: at myself or anything, but you can find it. But
Speaker 2: I mean, anyway, I went for it, and I'm like
Speaker 2: throwing myself on the ground humping the air. And because
Speaker 2: here's the thing, I'm Tory spelling, like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: and I don't mean this in the way it just
Speaker 2: came out. I'm Tory spelling. I feel like me like,
Speaker 2: to me, the odds are stacked against me, so I'm
Speaker 2: not you know, other famous people are going to walk
Speaker 2: in They're like, oh, she's gonna get the role. So
Speaker 2: for me, I've always felt like I have to go further,
Speaker 2: like I have to I got to go for it
Speaker 2: because I like, I'm going to walk in that room.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, great, come story spelling. What is she
Speaker 2: going to give us? Probably she's gonna suck. That's what's
Speaker 2: in my brain because of nine to two to zero
Speaker 2: and my dad and everything. So yeah, I was just
Speaker 2: like flopping all around that room got the part.
Speaker 1: So the other part of this reference in Gilmore Girls, Yes,
Speaker 1: might be a sensitive topic, but I do need to
Speaker 1: ask about it. In the clip, they also say they
Speaker 1: would like to see a lifetime movie made about the
Speaker 1: time you fell into the grill at Beni Hanna. For
Speaker 1: those who don't know, Tory had an unfortunate experience at
Speaker 1: a Los Angeles Beni Hannah, and you fell into the
Speaker 1: hibachi grill and got it some serious burns. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm an idea of person. So I'm hearing you.
Speaker 2: And what I'm thinking is perhaps we could make this
Speaker 2: movie and I would actually get paid more than the
Speaker 2: settlement I got for Benny Hannah, because you guys, it
Speaker 2: was not a lot. And it really sucks, you guys,
Speaker 2: because I wear my thigh on my arm, now, my
Speaker 2: heart on my sleeve, my thigh on my note. Literally really,
Speaker 2: oh my god, you have no idea, You're like, no,
Speaker 2: I do not. Yeah, well, let me take you back
Speaker 2: from one second. How long do you have? No? It
Speaker 2: was Easter and at the time, I just had four
Speaker 2: kids at the time. Finn was a baby. I think
Speaker 2: he was like fourteen months old, and we went with
Speaker 2: the gunkles so and their kids, and yeah, we decided
Speaker 2: to have Easter there because we couldn't get a reservation
Speaker 2: anywhere else because it was Easter, and we waited the
Speaker 2: last minute, because I waited to the last minute on everything,
Speaker 2: and all the hotels, the brunches were taken and it
Speaker 2: was like, Benny Hanna, I remember saying, my friend's scout,
Speaker 2: I said, Benny Hannah like that doesn't seem like an
Speaker 2: Easter type of restaurant, like, and he's like, oh, Mama,
Speaker 2: it'll it'll be fun. OK So we went and yeah,
Speaker 2: everyone's always like, oh, were you like drunk? Had you
Speaker 2: had drinks? It's like, no, we hadn't even had our
Speaker 2: drinks delivered yet. They had status around Hibachi grill or
Speaker 2: the two families together, we're a big family. We took
Speaker 2: up a whole one and they came and they turn
Speaker 2: on the grill, they put the oil, turn on the grill,
Speaker 2: and then they leave before the you know what is
Speaker 2: he the bochie griller?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the chef, the chef, the guy you form a
Speaker 1: chef is a chef chef performer very much.
Speaker 2: So. Oh, I used to always catch the shrimp in
Speaker 2: my mouth. Well, but now I can't go back to
Speaker 2: Beny hos so really well, I don't know it's a thing,
Speaker 2: but I got I missed that salad dressing. It's my favorite.
Speaker 2: Oh the ginger. Yeah, anyway, turn the grill on.
Speaker 1: The guy comes over.
Speaker 2: They turned the grill on and at the time they
Speaker 2: give my son, who's young, he was fourteen months, the
Speaker 2: chef's hat. They give them the cute little paper chef's hat,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, this is a great picture, so
Speaker 2: I said on Dean's lap at the time, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to get a picture. And I needed to
Speaker 2: step back to take the photo. And at the time,
Speaker 2: it's all carpet, and then you step onto a tile
Speaker 2: right behind where the habachi grill is and that's where
Speaker 2: the chef stands, and they had turned them on. I
Speaker 2: believe it gets to like five six hundred degrees something
Speaker 2: like that. Anyway, I took one step back with my
Speaker 2: camera up, my phone up to take a picture of
Speaker 2: Fin on my husband's lap, and as I took a
Speaker 2: step back, there was so much grease and oil on
Speaker 2: the ground that my feet literally I remember the stakes.
Speaker 2: I could never wear them again, but they were God,
Speaker 2: they were a good pair of shoes. It was Chloe heels,
Speaker 2: like vintage ones, and I just could see them up
Speaker 2: above my head as they flew up and I landed
Speaker 2: on the grill. I caught myself on the way down
Speaker 2: because I put my arm out to like brace myself,
Speaker 2: but like the badass bitch I am, I quickly peeled
Speaker 2: it off and then hit the ground and my husband said,
Speaker 2: He's like, oh my god, you could smell like it
Speaker 2: smelled like food cooking. You could smell it. And I
Speaker 2: was so embarrassed that this happened that everyone ran over.
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things when you fall in
Speaker 2: front of people and they're all up above you, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. Nothing to
Speaker 2: look at here, and like, my arm's literally sizzled. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it was easter, So for the kid's sake, they're like,
Speaker 2: you know, buddy, Hanta was like, would you like to
Speaker 2: scull an ambulance? I was like, no, thank you, I'm fine, No,
Speaker 2: thank you, I'm fine. So we ate, did the whole
Speaker 2: meal and we went home and then put Easter eggs out.
Speaker 1: Did you eat the same grill that you had fallen on?
Speaker 1: So was there a chance your arm was in the
Speaker 1: bread rice?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, yes we No one has ever asked that. Wait,
Speaker 2: that's where I was running out cannibalism to a whole
Speaker 2: new level. Wait, I ate myself, I ate yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, check that off the bucket list.
Speaker 2: So I went home. We had an Easter egg hunt,
Speaker 2: we baked cookies. My arm was red, but it hurt,
Speaker 2: but I was like, Okay, the show must go on.
Speaker 2: So we celebrated Easter, and then the next day I
Speaker 2: was like, wow, this is real bad pain. And I literally,
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night because Deane had to
Speaker 2: watch the kids, drow is my right arm, I'm right handed,
Speaker 2: drove myself to the er and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: two days ago I had this really bad accident. And
Speaker 2: they were like, uh, it was like not third degree.
Speaker 2: They were like, it's like fourth degree burned, Like it's
Speaker 2: so burned that it's like the skin's dying inside stead.
Speaker 2: So the next morning I had to go to the
Speaker 2: Grossman burn Clinic there and they had to literally shave
Speaker 2: my skin down to the bone, and then I had
Speaker 2: to have another surgery where the doctor came in I'm
Speaker 2: telling this so quick, sorry and grossing everybody out. Hope
Speaker 2: you're not eating while you're listening. You're not eating me.
Speaker 2: That was crazy. I ate myself. They the doctor came
Speaker 2: in and he was like, okay, so we have to
Speaker 2: do a skin graph to put it on unless I
Speaker 2: wanted a cadavers graph, which I didn't feel comfortable with
Speaker 2: because because I'm really into horror, and I was like
Speaker 2: I don't want to like I thought I would like
Speaker 2: haunt me or something. I wasn't sure. So anyway, although
Speaker 2: I do love vintage clothing, so I do like to
Speaker 2: repurpose things, so I'm into that. I don't organs, not
Speaker 2: all skins, but maybe oh Organs. I'm open. Okay, See
Speaker 2: this is the new me. I'm open to things fearless.
Speaker 2: So he was like, we can either take it from
Speaker 2: your head, which we have to shave part of your head,
Speaker 2: and I was like, that doesn't sound like idea, or
Speaker 2: we could take it from your thigh and I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna go with my thigh. And then I
Speaker 2: said how much you have to take and he kind
Speaker 2: of showed me, and then I was like, doctor, I
Speaker 2: have to be honest with you. I'm a bikini model
Speaker 2: and as if you didn't know who I was. And
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm a bikini model and I take
Speaker 2: a lot of my livelihood and is there any way
Speaker 2: you could go higher up so that I can still
Speaker 2: take photos? And he said yes, which is ironic because
Speaker 2: my dad in World War Two when he was in
Speaker 2: the war and he was shot, his finger was shot
Speaker 2: and when he went to the hospital. They were like,
Speaker 2: we have to amputate, and he was like, doctor, I'm
Speaker 2: a piano. I'm a pianist, and a piano is my life.
Speaker 2: It's my livelihood. So please is there and they're like okay,
Speaker 2: and they repaired it. And my dad always had a
Speaker 2: crooked finger all through life because he had been shot
Speaker 2: there and they repaired it anyway. So yeah, I joke
Speaker 2: all the time that I have here. It is right here,
Speaker 2: skin graft.
Speaker 1: You would never know there.
Speaker 2: So it went yeah, so it went like this, I
Speaker 2: went here here, and then I went boop boop, and
Speaker 2: then got.
Speaker 1: Up, Oh, I'm so glad you survived. And Sam, I'm
Speaker 1: so happy that you should.
Speaker 2: Be making it into a TV movie. Wait, who should
Speaker 2: I call about this? Lauren Graham?
Speaker 1: Wait? Who Amy Sherman Palladina, That's who you should call?
Speaker 2: She uh uh. The line was, oh, wait, I have
Speaker 2: the best thing to say about this, lest say it.
Speaker 2: So when this was going to go to court, yes,
Speaker 2: because oh so thanks to me, you guys, and you're
Speaker 2: all welcome. They now have a chain across America. There's
Speaker 2: a chain that goes across from where the grill is
Speaker 2: and where you stepped there. They didn't have a chain.
Speaker 2: There's a chain that no patrons can walk there because
Speaker 2: of me, and they had to enforce that. But when
Speaker 2: this was going to go to court, they did this document,
Speaker 2: you know, this drawing and enacted it like where everybody
Speaker 2: in the restaurant was seated and the anyway there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't whatever the defense the I played an assistant
Speaker 2: da once in the courtroom show. I have no idea. Anyway,
Speaker 2: They had this woman that was going to testify, like
Speaker 2: against my case because I was suing Benny Hannah just
Speaker 2: for medical bills, because it's a fortune to get your
Speaker 2: thigh put on your arm and high enough so you
Speaker 2: can still wear bikini. So I'm just kidding. It's not funny,
Speaker 2: you guys. It was the worst pain I've ever had
Speaker 2: my entire life, even past childbirth, like traumatizing. My poor
Speaker 2: kids had to see it. But she was like when
Speaker 2: they took her deposition, she was like, I saw the
Speaker 2: whole thing. She was drunk. I watched her stumble around.
Speaker 2: I saw Donna, and Donna was just fall down drunk,
Speaker 2: and they were like, Okay, that's out of here. Like
Speaker 2: she had she just kept call me Jonna, she had
Speaker 2: no idea, so anyway, and we figured it out that
Speaker 2: her where she was seated in the rest of our
Speaker 2: her back was to me. So anyway, I'll leave you
Speaker 2: on that note.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we can see you in Teppanyaki Grill of Death.
