Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast. We just got
Speaker 1: back from Steelcon and steel Con is a convention. I know,
Speaker 1: there's so many types of conventions. This is an autograph
Speaker 1: signing convention where different places they rent convention centers in
Speaker 1: different cities and for three days straight they jam pack
Speaker 1: as many people into one building as possible and line
Speaker 1: up boots and rows of celebrities. Different cons have like
Speaker 1: different niche things. This one was kind of well, it
Speaker 1: was all of my nine O two one zero cast,
Speaker 1: So it was a blend of like reunions because there
Speaker 1: was us, there was breakfast club, and then there's also
Speaker 1: like horror things, which you know is my jam Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you guys. It was a reunion of Theilma
Speaker 1: and Louise so, Gina Davis was there, Susan Sarandon. They
Speaker 1: look gorgeous anyway, I digress. So they shove you all
Speaker 1: in this building for like I don't know, a weekend,
Speaker 1: which there's no beginning, middle or end. You just go, go, go, go, go,
Speaker 1: go go, And we're grateful because all the fans are there.
Speaker 1: But it's just like in out, in out, you have selfies,
Speaker 1: you have autographs. They bring you gifts. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The people that run conventions they also you know, they
Speaker 1: have money to make, so they also as kind as
Speaker 1: they are. It's a moving, well oiled so you hope
Speaker 1: machine at these conventions, and you got to keep your
Speaker 1: lines moving. Now, you probably could have figured this one.
Speaker 1: I talk too much. But I talked because I'm a
Speaker 1: people person and I like people, and I'm Tory. I'm
Speaker 1: a self professed hugger. Yeah, so I can't even fathom
Speaker 1: people coming up into my line and being like, all right,
Speaker 1: here's your autograph.
Speaker 2: What do you want?
Speaker 1: You know, here's your name by I would never do that,
Speaker 1: And I know people probably make a lot of money
Speaker 1: just coming you know, they get people in and out quickly.
Speaker 1: But I'm a talker. I'm doing better. I'm working on
Speaker 1: it to split the difference of the give and take.
Speaker 1: But I like to hug all my fans and talk
Speaker 1: to my fans and make it a personal experience because
Speaker 1: I like, hey, look what I got. One fan made
Speaker 1: me this and it's my misspelling zippy cup. Is that
Speaker 1: a thing? Yeah? But ironically she was like, okay, she
Speaker 1: knows I like a good two two for one. Uh
Speaker 1: so you got misspelling on this side, and then she
Speaker 1: was like, she didn't say if she goes when Andy
Speaker 1: finally puts you on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
Speaker 1: you can turn it to that. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: I get asked that question, probably right up there with
Speaker 1: what was it like to grow up in a fifty
Speaker 1: six thousand square foot mansion? I didn't really grow up there.
Speaker 1: I moved there when I was sixteen, so I was
Speaker 1: literally only there for two years. But yeah, it was rad.
Speaker 1: That's my rehearsal answer, and I'm sticking to it.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: The next one's like, uh, you look good and is
Speaker 1: it true you've had all that plastic surgery? And oh no,
Speaker 1: Actually what they say is, oh my gosh, you actually
Speaker 1: look pretty in person. Huh. I always say thank you,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I gotta tell you, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how I'm supposed to take that thank you, not thank you?
Speaker 1: I look like fucking ass on TV? Cool anyway, And
Speaker 1: why aren't you on the real house So I have
Speaker 1: said Beverly Hills, and I'm like, I don't know. Once
Speaker 1: I asked Andy Cohen, who I love and I've known forever,
Speaker 1: been on a sow many times, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we keep getting this question. I was like, so, Andy,
Speaker 1: what's the answer, and he's like, I don't know you
Speaker 1: and the real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I just I
Speaker 1: can't see it. And I was like, wait, he goes,
Speaker 1: do you know any of them? I was like, every
Speaker 1: single one of them I'm friends with and have known
Speaker 1: forever and have a history. But whoa wasn't I like
Speaker 1: the og Beverly Hills, Like, I don't understand what I
Speaker 1: really want to say to him, and I've I'm a
Speaker 1: little passive aggressive, so I'm like, huh, all the fans
Speaker 1: ask Andy, I don't know. I mean whatever, That's fine.
Speaker 1: What I wanted to say, is is it because I'm broke?
Speaker 1: Let's be real here, Okay, Ruth, I'm sorry, organize me.
Speaker 3: So you brought your own merchandise to steal con and
Speaker 3: that was I'm not shaming you. That's what you're supposed
Speaker 3: to do, except you were a little last minute about it.
Speaker 3: We say, I had asked you do you have merchandise,
Speaker 3: and first you said yes, it's being shipped, and then
Speaker 3: it turned out it wasn't being shipped.
Speaker 1: And you, guys, she's a filthy liar. This is not
Speaker 1: how the convo went. I probably somehow passive aggressively or not,
Speaker 1: was like, every here's what I love to do, and
Speaker 1: rile her up. Everybody, I'm talking about my nine o
Speaker 1: two one oh friends are bringing their merch and I
Speaker 1: don't have merch. And you said this is my first time.
Speaker 1: I'm a newbie. It is. She's never been to a convention.
Speaker 1: Are you scarred for life?
Speaker 2: We'll game that very scarred on another level?
Speaker 1: Cool, welcome to my world. No, no, no, you know
Speaker 1: what it is. Brian, Brian Austin Green. Brian got me
Speaker 1: riled up and was like, what do you what do
Speaker 1: you sell your merch for? T shirts?
Speaker 3: Da da?
Speaker 1: And so I, being me, flew into a panic. It
Speaker 1: was like I didn't think this one there was merch
Speaker 1: being done. Oh my gosh, but wait, Jen's gonna have
Speaker 1: her merch line. Oh my gosh, Brian's now bringing it.
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? Let's not panic. I always panic.
Speaker 1: So you know about storage, you know about the lockers.
Speaker 1: So the two that we save so far, there was
Speaker 1: a box and UH got the wrong box because there's
Speaker 1: different boxes of Donna Martin graduates T shirts. Now, you
Speaker 1: guys listen, they're not the best. You know. They were
Speaker 1: one of those things where you go online and it
Speaker 1: was like you pick a T shirt, you pick the font,
Speaker 1: they're basic. They're basic, which you guys know, I am
Speaker 1: not basic. So it was the wrong box, and it
Speaker 1: was there's multiple boxes with multiple sizing and this one,
Speaker 1: which is great, but it was you know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: it's not for everyone. Was the box with and two
Speaker 1: excel nothing else.
Speaker 2: By getting them to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Rthana it's a shit show here. And she's like, well,
Speaker 1: I call this a Wednesday and I was in your
Speaker 1: life and I was like, oh, yeah, given. But I
Speaker 1: was like, I have my books that we got out
Speaker 1: of storage, one of my books, the last one, spelling
Speaker 1: it like it is, and a box of T shirts
Speaker 1: and Ruth Anne says, just grab the kids, like luggage,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what luggage, It's all in storage.
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what you're talking about. She's like,
Speaker 1: grab a Duffel bag, anything you could find, and I
Speaker 1: was like, uh, pigeon carrier, Like I don't know. In
Speaker 1: my garage, I don't have what you need me to have,
Speaker 1: but I do have a pigeon carrier and a chicken carrier.
Speaker 1: Oh and a chicken incubator. But it's a whole other story.
Speaker 1: So I of course did not do that. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I just kind of grabbed the box and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll just tape it up. At the airport, I grabbed
Speaker 1: six books, six books, because in the long run, hey,
Speaker 1: this is a business six books. What the hell is
Speaker 1: six books going to do for us? Nothing? But I
Speaker 1: grabbed six It was all I could grab. We were
Speaker 1: going to crush it on book sales. And away I
Speaker 1: went to the airport.
Speaker 3: So the plan had been that we were going to
Speaker 3: fly with just carry on to ensure that we didn't
Speaker 3: lose anything. And when Toy showed up with the giant
Speaker 3: cardboard box that was falling apart the merchandise, we just said,
Speaker 3: okay that we can check and if it doesn't make it,
Speaker 3: it doesn't make it.
Speaker 1: The og plan was I was going to take my
Speaker 1: ginormous Tory Poppin's bag aka my fake YSL bag, which
Speaker 1: I don't even know why, but every time people are
Speaker 1: like love your bag, I'm like it's fake, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is wrong with me? Just say thank you? Like,
Speaker 1: why do I have to say it's fake? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: like to help out, so I always say here, here,
Speaker 1: go on Instagram, here's the best place. The stuff's really good.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I feel the need to But rescued from
Speaker 1: the storage unit is something not fake. It is my
Speaker 1: og Balenciaga bag that I've had for twenty years. I'm
Speaker 1: going to retire the Tory Poppins bag. And you're like,
Speaker 1: why do you call it Tory Poppins. Well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you, because anything and everything is in that bag.
Speaker 1: If there's a crisis, I got it, like band Aids
Speaker 1: got it. At one point, I found a diaper in there,
Speaker 1: and you know what, Bo seven hasn't worn diapers in years.
Speaker 1: Why it's in there, I don't know. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: One time at band camp, one time when bo still
Speaker 1: was wearing diapers, I had to pee really bad. I
Speaker 1: was stuck on the one oh one, which is like
Speaker 1: our craziest freeway here, and I was like, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to make it home. So I literally reach back
Speaker 1: and my Tory Poppin's bag and I'm like something, Please,
Speaker 1: got something? And I went through and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: a diaper and I literally put like on a diaper
Speaker 1: and pissed in my pants in Bow's diaper.
Speaker 2: That's brilliant.
Speaker 1: It really comes in hand to you guys.
Speaker 3: So we manage somehow to get through security and into
Speaker 3: the claw and.
Speaker 1: What you thought I'd get caught. Actually I'm always the
Speaker 1: one that gets pat it down. Not mad at that,
Speaker 1: but it's always me and things always show up in
Speaker 1: areas where I'm like, it just makes me wonder that
Speaker 1: when I had my breasts and plants put in like
Speaker 1: what's in there? Because it always dings it always and
Speaker 1: I'm like, h are they my tits? And they're always
Speaker 1: like do you have anything in there? And you're bra
Speaker 1: perhaps I'm like no, they always go off if you
Speaker 1: don't know. I am terrified of flying, but actually you
Speaker 1: have to admit I've gotten better. So my dad was
Speaker 1: not just a fearful flyer. He did not fly. My
Speaker 1: dad was in World War Two coming back and he
Speaker 1: lived grew up in Texas. They landed and they were
Speaker 1: in New York. He had to take a flight to Texas.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get on the flight. He had bronchitis. The
Speaker 1: doctor said no, he didn't get on, and there were
Speaker 1: no phones back then and he was so poor, like
Speaker 1: he literally like hitchhiked like back and got back to
Speaker 1: Dallas and the plane crash and everyone on it died.
Speaker 1: And his mom had been told that he was on
Speaker 1: the flight. And he always would say, I pulled up
Speaker 1: to my street on Browder Street, and there were cars,
Speaker 1: and he said, we were so poor, like there was
Speaker 1: only cars when there was like a funeral or something,
Speaker 1: or a wedding, what was going on. There were cars
Speaker 1: lighting this street. And my dad was Jewish, and they
Speaker 1: were sitting shiva, which is you know, they all congregate
Speaker 1: and mourn the loss. So he said. His mother answered
Speaker 1: the door, saw him and fainted, and when she came
Speaker 1: to Grandma Pearl, she said, promised me he was eighteen,
Speaker 1: you'll never fly again. He never flew again, passed that
Speaker 1: on to me, terribly fearful of flying. Never took my
Speaker 1: my first flight. I actually didn't fly till I was eighteen.
Speaker 1: And it was a nine O two one zero thing
Speaker 1: where we all did this radio thing and this big contest,
Speaker 1: and in exchange we didn't get paid, we got a
Speaker 1: trip to Hawaii and we did these multiple years. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was eighteen. I was with Shannon. I was
Speaker 1: with Gabrielle and we got on the plane and I
Speaker 1: was just like sobbing, hysterical. Who do you think held
Speaker 1: my hand and got me through it? Gabrielle? Of course, Andrea,
Speaker 1: you know, very much like her character, she will she's
Speaker 1: the mother and the nurturer. And so anyway, that was
Speaker 1: my first flight. And I've been telling this story for
Speaker 1: years that I'm terrified of flying. I have been known
Speaker 1: to single handedly like freak people out on a plane.
Speaker 1: I scream and cry so loud that people that say
Speaker 1: they have never in their lives been fearful of flying
Speaker 1: have full blown panic attacks and cannot breathe. And when
Speaker 1: I'm like, you get a xanax, you get a xanax.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like you know Oprah under your seat,
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, that's happened. Anyway, I think
Speaker 1: I was just conditioned to think it was my fear,
Speaker 1: and I think perhaps it wasn't ever my fear. I
Speaker 1: took it on and made it, you know, my fear.
Speaker 1: It was almost like a connection to my dad, and
Speaker 1: it was like, see, I'm just like him. I'm just
Speaker 1: like him, which I am in many ways. But how
Speaker 1: about the good ways, like creatively and produce sorely, but
Speaker 1: the fear. Recently, I've been like, I'm so scared and
Speaker 1: then I check myself. I'm doing this new thing. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you guys deal with me like, gut check, let me
Speaker 1: check internally is this what it is? And then I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't feel it anyway. I was good, right, I
Speaker 1: made it.
Speaker 2: You were really good.
Speaker 3: Actually, I've been more and more impressed every time we fly.
Speaker 3: But we did have a kind of mean flight attendant.
Speaker 3: Oh do you remember?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure do So I'm a people pleaser. I really
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work on this, but I really want
Speaker 1: people to like me, and that's like ingrained in me.
Speaker 1: We all have jobs to do. We're trying to get
Speaker 1: through our work, and I always feel it's really nice
Speaker 1: to take a moment and acknowledge. I always I always
Speaker 1: look and I'm like, you know what, just what's gut check?
Speaker 1: What is something about this person that just instantly I
Speaker 1: find appealing attractive? I love those ear rings. It's all true.
Speaker 1: I don't make up lies, but it's whatever I'm drawn to.
Speaker 1: I feel it's important to kind of take a moment
Speaker 1: and ask how their day is and acknowledge things like that,
Speaker 1: and it usually works. You guys, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're usually like throwing the warm nuts at me.
Speaker 1: I'm so nice this woman. I acknowledge her purple glasses
Speaker 1: and I said I love glasses, which I do, and
Speaker 1: I said, I love yours, and I love purple. And
Speaker 1: she was nice, but she wanted nothing, nothing to do.
Speaker 1: She was like, in your seat, here we go. She
Speaker 1: was by the books. And after we had what was
Speaker 1: it one? We had one drink? Yeah, and we went
Speaker 1: back up to get another drink, and would she say she.
Speaker 2: Cut us off? We had one drink.
Speaker 3: It's an overnight flight, you know, I don't think it's unusual,
Speaker 3: having the luxury of flying first class if you like
Speaker 3: to have a drink or two to relax, to have
Speaker 3: a drink or two.
Speaker 2: And she basically said no.
Speaker 1: She said, no, no, no, no, we've had complaints already.
Speaker 1: You guys are loud.
Speaker 2: They'd barely taken off at that point.
Speaker 1: I get excited, like I'm with my friend. We are
Speaker 1: catching up. And when I get passionate, you guys, I do,
Speaker 1: my voice does raise. So I had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with alcohol.
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I feel I kind of feel like she targeted us
Speaker 3: and really was not a fan from the minute we
Speaker 3: got on that plane.
Speaker 2: Remember she came around with the snacks and she was like,
Speaker 2: only one, can only have one.
Speaker 1: She set up a selfie stand, you guys. She sat
Speaker 1: in her seat and she put her blank on, she
Speaker 1: had her food, she put her phone there. And I
Speaker 1: even went back and I said, I was scared to
Speaker 1: ask for water. Don't worry. Still the same old me.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for me, it was for ruth Ann. I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want water. Uh, And I said
Speaker 1: I can get the glass and she was like I
Speaker 1: felt that nervous that I was like, may I help
Speaker 1: you in the galley? May I do this for you?
Speaker 1: Because she was like, I gotta get She wanted to
Speaker 1: get back to her show she was watching. So we
Speaker 1: didn't sleep on the flight because I can't sleep on flight.
Speaker 1: So because I'm scared sometimes going to conventions you have
Speaker 1: other celebrities. I've been known to literally get off a
Speaker 1: plane because I am super like stitious and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just weird. And I got off a plane once
Speaker 1: because Michael Bolton, this is like twenty years ago, Michael
Speaker 1: Bolton was on this flight and I saw him get
Speaker 1: up to get off, and I turned to my friend
Speaker 1: and I said, follow that man, fall those luscious locks
Speaker 1: from behind. Uh, you gotta fall him off And he
Speaker 1: said what are you doing? We have to get there,
Speaker 1: and I said no, this is a sign, like, uh,
Speaker 1: this will be the story that Michael Bolton was fine.
Speaker 1: Tory spelling went down and like, yeah, but if it's
Speaker 1: like a weird mix of celebrities, I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 1: like I might be a little judgy of the celebrities.
Speaker 1: I might be like, you know, is it a list?
Speaker 1: Is it d list? Like what kind of celebrity is
Speaker 1: on here? I overthink it and I'm like, because that
Speaker 1: would imagine. So it's either going to go this way
Speaker 1: like oh, this person was on this flight and it
Speaker 1: didn't make it, or it's going to be like these
Speaker 1: random celebrities were together on a flight and they didn't
Speaker 1: make it. So either way, screwed. But yeah, I followed
Speaker 1: him off that planet and didn't look back anyway. I
Speaker 1: didn't sleep on the flight, so we flew all night
Speaker 1: and then got to Pittsburgh and my merch was lost.
Speaker 1: That big box that you lovingly taped up for got
Speaker 1: a really long time. They couldn't find it, and I said,
Speaker 1: leave the merch It's like JANKI it's not even good.
Speaker 1: I'm not even proud of it, like it's fine, we'll
Speaker 1: move on. But they found it. Eventually it came out
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, it keeps coming back. Can't get
Speaker 1: rid of it if I try. Anyway, we made Pitts
Speaker 1: box and.
Speaker 3: Merchandise haunted us for the whole weekend and we got
Speaker 3: it upstairs the hotel room.
Speaker 1: Beautiful hotel they put us at for steel Con and
Speaker 1: we closed our eyes for what an hour.
Speaker 3: Maybe an hour, so we're like, hurry, hustle, we gotta
Speaker 3: get up, we gotta get there.
Speaker 1: It's starting. And the box. We had to get the
Speaker 1: box down. Anyway, I get in the van, I get
Speaker 1: there and I'm with Brian Austin Green. Anyway, I get
Speaker 1: there and I was like, oh my god, the merchandise.
Speaker 1: I was like, how much did you bring? He's like
Speaker 1: I didn't bring merchandise. And I was like, are you
Speaker 1: with me? I was like, you got me all riled up?
Speaker 1: So I had to get that as storage. I don't
Speaker 1: even have. It's a proper box. It's not even the
Speaker 1: right ones. And he was like, I didn't rile you up.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, you've riled me up for
Speaker 1: thirty three years. Of course you did. Uh anyway, didn't
Speaker 1: even need it, didn't need it? How me in we
Speaker 1: sell three?
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't even that the Uh remember we took
Speaker 3: an uber to get there, and the merchandise ended up
Speaker 3: on the shuttle and then they couldn't find the shuttle
Speaker 3: and they couldn't find the merchandise, and you were busy
Speaker 3: signing autographs and hugging people, and I was panicking trying
Speaker 3: to find the box of merchandise, which finally arrived. And
Speaker 3: then I think we sold a total of maybe sixty
Speaker 3: shirts in one book.
Speaker 1: Oh we sold six. I thought it was three. Cool. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it was a really great experience, you guys. I loved
Speaker 1: seeing all the fans. My fans are so nice. I
Speaker 1: got presents. I have this beautiful bracelet that I have
Speaker 1: not taken off that have has all my kids' names
Speaker 1: notes that I'm going to read. Okay, So there were
Speaker 1: uh merch booths at the convention where you could buy
Speaker 1: stuff which you don't know this about me because I
Speaker 1: spared you. But I like to when I have a
Speaker 1: moment which is never run and go through all the
Speaker 1: merch stuff and then like buy stuff from my kids
Speaker 1: because they have really cool stuff, a lot of horror stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm into horror. My kids are into horror, just like
Speaker 1: iconic movie stuff. Like you know, I'm always like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, what do you have from Goonies out on it?
Speaker 1: Like you know, I just like things from the eighties,
Speaker 1: like anyway, my childhood. Oh my god, somebody came up
Speaker 1: with a T shirt called uh it's like a really
Speaker 1: I love all really bad horror films. And there's one
Speaker 1: from the eighties called basket Case. Oh my god, someone
Speaker 1: had the best basket case T shirt. I loved it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: A big part of this convention was not just nine
Speaker 1: o two one zero, but it was a big horror
Speaker 1: convention too. And I was in Scream two and Scary
Speaker 1: Movie two, which was a parody of horror films, so
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people that wanted to do
Speaker 1: scream stuff, which I was super grateful. And then I
Speaker 1: got to reconnect with Heather Graham because she and I
Speaker 1: were both in Scream two. And played a part of
Speaker 1: the movie within the movie called Stab, which I played
Speaker 1: Sidney Prescott Nev Campbell's character all based on because they
Speaker 1: made fun of me in Number one. Anyway, so Heather
Speaker 1: Graham and I did a STAB reunion and took pictures
Speaker 1: with a lot of people. And so Heather and I
Speaker 1: were taking a STAB photo and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: within the line, like everyone's like lined up, but Heather
Speaker 1: and I are standing there and we're looking, we're looking,
Speaker 1: and then one ghost face is in line, and of
Speaker 1: course I lean over and I'm like imagine and she's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. I was like, wait, Heather, I don't
Speaker 1: think they've done that one. It's a convention and we're
Speaker 1: the movie within the movie. We're not actually in the
Speaker 1: screen too, like we're STAB and we're at the convention
Speaker 1: doing the movie within the movie signing and there's a
Speaker 1: ghost face and we're like, oh, that's fun, that's great,
Speaker 1: and then like and then they well, she'd live because
Speaker 1: she's a big star, but I'd be killed. In the
Speaker 1: first scene we did ask the person, We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we just want to see you, and
Speaker 1: they took their mask off and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I thought you were gonna kill us.
Speaker 1: And the guy was like, oh my god, really I
Speaker 1: was like duh, yeah, I was like, god, that would
Speaker 1: be iconic. So you're standing at the table and you
Speaker 1: have a choice. You always have choices. You can take breaks,
Speaker 1: they tell you at anytime, and there's a green room
Speaker 1: which is lovely, and they have snacks and sodas. I
Speaker 1: say sodas because there's water there, but I don't even
Speaker 1: look that way, and you know, and anytime you can
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, do what you gotta do. But
Speaker 1: I feel bad, of course, So I usually typically stand
Speaker 1: there the entire time and you can sit. There's some
Speaker 1: celebrities that sit and sign autographs, and you know me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm gonna stand them all time, like,
Speaker 1: you know, because I don't want you to have a
Speaker 1: reason not to like me. And that was always like
Speaker 1: my biggest fear in life, biggest fear. That's a lie,
Speaker 1: so dramatic. That was one of my fears always that
Speaker 1: you know, people wouldn't like me because how I grew up.
Speaker 1: They would assume I'm a bitch.
Speaker 3: You know. You know what.
Speaker 1: It's probably because this girl holiday in elementary school. Used
Speaker 1: to corner me and she'd be like, oh, look it's
Speaker 1: the little rich bitch. Where are you going? And I'd
Speaker 1: be like, no where, that's stuck with me anyway. She
Speaker 1: was a bully, but yeah, I never take breaks. But
Speaker 1: my whole cast they barely took breaks. Like we were
Speaker 1: all like lined up together, so our boots connect. And
Speaker 1: then you have like a table with all your pictures
Speaker 1: and we'll merch if you have it and put it out,
Speaker 1: and people come up and can take selfies. They can
Speaker 1: get autographs anything sign that they might have. And yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to like walk away and go
Speaker 1: to the green room or anything, you can always as
Speaker 1: I just did it, dive under your table.
Speaker 2: There's currings around the table, around the table.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can hide under your table, which I did
Speaker 1: a few times because I was talking to my kids
Speaker 1: and like didn't want to leave and didn't want to
Speaker 1: leave people waiting, so I would be like, sorry, I
Speaker 1: have to take a call from my kid and like
Speaker 1: get under the table. So at one point, you know
Speaker 1: what we were traveling, No one had slept, we had
Speaker 1: you know, it was go go gos. It was seventy
Speaker 1: two hours of Go Go Go, I had. My stomach
Speaker 1: was like brh. And I'd be to the fans like
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, that's my stomach, and they were just
Speaker 1: like they're in their world. They're not thinking about you.
Speaker 1: I mean they're thinking about you. But I have to
Speaker 1: like call it out if there's anything in everything that happens,
Speaker 1: I always have to say, I'm not person that if
Speaker 1: my shoes squeaks or the chair squeaks I'm sitting on,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't fart. I'm a fifty year old
Speaker 1: woman still being in a business meeting going I didn't fart,
Speaker 1: and people are like, what are you even talking about?
Speaker 1: But on that off chance that someone hurt it my brain,
Speaker 1: I can't keep going on like I can creatively go
Speaker 1: on for days days days. I have a great memory storyteller.
Speaker 1: But if I'm like, oh my god, I get self conscious,
Speaker 1: everything goes out the window. So I just call it
Speaker 1: like it is. Anyway, my stomach was going brook bruh,
Speaker 1: and it was like an alien was coming out of
Speaker 1: my stomach and literally it's like the fists, like you
Speaker 1: could see it. Like if I was like, hey lift
Speaker 1: my shirt, which oh I don't even have to do
Speaker 1: that nowadays because I wear craptops again. Oh so, but uh,
Speaker 1: it's just a gas baby. Yeah. And anyway, I went
Speaker 1: under the table because I was like, I have to
Speaker 1: pass wind. Do you like how Now now I'm going
Speaker 1: to get proper and try to like make this sound
Speaker 1: a little more normalized. I get down on the ground
Speaker 1: in fart position under the table, and rthans laughing hysterically.
Speaker 1: Whatever I had to fart, you guys, Jen hates the
Speaker 1: word fart. And her booth was right next to me.
Speaker 3: So and there's lines and lines of fans waiting, hundreds
Speaker 3: of people waiting, and it just they had no idea.
Speaker 3: So funny if only they knew, if only they knew.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, so that happened.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of cookie things that happened.
Speaker 3: But just given that you had just done the storage
Speaker 3: episode and you talked about the estate sale you had
Speaker 3: eighteen years ago, my fan showed.
Speaker 2: Out, My god, and it was as if he just
Speaker 2: walked right out of that story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he walked up and he said, he pulls up.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you, guys. I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is my youth. A jean skirt that was this big,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't even know how that
Speaker 1: covers your butt your crotch, like I don't know, I
Speaker 1: you have like lips flapping in the wind, Like WHOA
Speaker 1: did I wear that back in the day? It is crazy.
Speaker 1: It was for a toddler and he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I bought this at your estate sale eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1: But uh it was like a proper good, original Juicy
Speaker 1: couture denim skirt and it said Juicy on the back
Speaker 1: where your butt's barely covered. And I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I know why I sold this other than
Speaker 1: that I was broke. But I know because remember when
Speaker 1: like certain brands are in and then they're out and
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well sorry, you spent all the money
Speaker 1: and had this like it's totally out. But me, being
Speaker 1: a fashionista collector order, I always say, eh, everything comes back,
Speaker 1: That's my story. I always say like, that's why I'm
Speaker 1: saving this because it will come back into style, which
Speaker 1: I am not wrong. Everything comes back around. So but Juicy,
Speaker 1: it was like when it went out, it tanked like
Speaker 1: it was like the biggest obsession and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it was like oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you cannot wear Juicy couture. So I sold it all
Speaker 1: in my estate sale and my daughters are now it's
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance, like everyone wants to find like
Speaker 1: original Juicy. They even they remake it now, but it's new.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my gosh, if you saw the
Speaker 1: ones from the nineties and Stella is always like where
Speaker 1: are they? And I'm like lost in George somewhere, but
Speaker 1: it's like.
Speaker 2: There, it's skill Con in Pittsburgh. That's from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: So this guy bought it and he was like, I'd
Speaker 1: like you to sign it, and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe you have this. My daughter's
Speaker 1: totally into Juicy. She wants all my stuff from the nineties.
Speaker 1: Some of it is somewhere and some of it's gone.
Speaker 1: And I said, uh, would you consider selling this back
Speaker 1: to me? And he and he goes, no, I'm going
Speaker 1: to put it in my man cave, which was really concerning.
Speaker 1: So I promptly smelled it because I was like, Ibody's
Speaker 1: never washed this shit, Like I'm just saying, like this
Speaker 1: is creeps. And then I said, oh, but my daughter
Speaker 1: really loves Juicy. What can I do is there any
Speaker 1: give me an amount that you know? Here, I am,
Speaker 1: this defeats the whole purpose trying to make money to
Speaker 1: support my family. And I'm like, I sold that to
Speaker 1: make money to support my growing family. I was pregnant
Speaker 1: with Liam at the time, and here I am saying,
Speaker 1: what do you want for it? What do you want?
Speaker 1: I'll buy it back? And he was like, no, I
Speaker 1: want this. I just want you to sign it. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, what do I do? So I
Speaker 1: look down and I was like, what about my pants?
Speaker 1: And he goes, You're gonna take your pants off and
Speaker 1: sign them? And I was like would that make a
Speaker 1: difference allegedly? And he was like, all right, you take
Speaker 1: your pants off, you'll sign him. That was a hard
Speaker 1: pass because they're my dolls, killed pants in, they're sold out.
Speaker 1: They're not restalking those, so I wasn't gonna do that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I signed the Juicy and I got home
Speaker 1: and I showed Stella the video and she was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's the best Jean skirt ever. I
Speaker 1: wish I had it. And I was like, oh, sorry, well,
Speaker 1: some guys like I didn't say this to her, you
Speaker 1: guys let me preface that, but you know it's taken
Speaker 1: in his man cave and that's creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all okay. So question m hm, last time
Speaker 2: you saw the whole cast together? Was it nineties con right?
Speaker 2: Was that the last time you guys were all together
Speaker 2: or most of your ground? So how did it feel?
Speaker 3: Yeah, being sort of all of you back together again.
Speaker 3: I know there's obviously you see Jenny all the time.
Speaker 3: I know you're really in touch with Brian, but you know,
Speaker 3: like Jason lives in Tennessee and yeah, everybody sort of
Speaker 3: spread out and doing their own things.
Speaker 2: So how did how did it feel? Like, what's the
Speaker 2: dynamic between all of you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: My gosh, I mean whenever we get together. That's the
Speaker 1: hardest part is when we do group photos and they're like,
Speaker 1: come on, we need to get through the line. At
Speaker 1: any convention they want you to go because they have
Speaker 1: people waiting for the next group shot of you know,
Speaker 1: reunions or whatever. And we just laughed so hard together
Speaker 1: because we all regress to those like teens and some
Speaker 1: of us in our twenties and thirties at the time.
Speaker 1: But I was and I and we just laugh like
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. They say you can't go
Speaker 1: home again, Yeah you can. And we always have so
Speaker 1: much fun together. And this is the first time I
Speaker 1: saw an entire group since I filed for divorce. So
Speaker 1: you know, me, I don't like people to feel bad
Speaker 1: for me, Like you know, everyone goes through hard things
Speaker 1: in their life. You know, none of us are victims,
Speaker 1: and it's our decision to step beyond that. And so
Speaker 1: you know, I did get first time Jason saw me
Speaker 1: and he gave me a hug and said, are you okay?
Speaker 1: You know, of course I made some silly joke like
Speaker 1: I always do because that's how I cope, is making jokes.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was that where I was like, I
Speaker 1: have to talk to all my friends, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And then Ian. I love Ian and he just always
Speaker 1: gives me such a pep talk and we're so close
Speaker 1: and he's obviously checked in a gazillion times, but it
Speaker 1: was the first time he had me in person. And
Speaker 1: at dinner one night, he said, so, what's the next step?
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, like literally like in the
Speaker 1: divorce and he's like, well, no, for you personally, like
Speaker 1: what do you feel like you and he goes you're
Speaker 1: on any dating sites?
Speaker 3: And I was like.
Speaker 1: No, And I had that moment where I'm like, what,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, It's as if you said the most
Speaker 1: offensive thing to me. And what he was saying is
Speaker 1: what's the evolution, Like eventually you're gonna get yourself back
Speaker 1: out there and it's going to be great and it's
Speaker 1: your second chapter and all that. But I had that
Speaker 1: moment where I was like, no, I would never. I'm
Speaker 1: never getting on a dating site. And I was like,
Speaker 1: should man? Dating site?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I can't even remember, Like remember, I've never done it.
Speaker 1: I've been married for eighteen years. Like dating sites didn't
Speaker 1: exist then dating apps and I supposed to call it
Speaker 1: an app. I don't know. Anyway, it was interesting, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's really great to be with all of them again.
Speaker 1: So it was Shannon's birthday, which is amazing and given
Speaker 1: everything that she's been through and going through, it's always
Speaker 1: a huge you know, you feel like it's a bigger
Speaker 1: celebration than when we get older, we'll say, oh, it's
Speaker 1: just my birthday. It's just my birthday. And she's not
Speaker 1: into celebrating her birthday, but her friends want to celebrate her.
Speaker 1: So it was her birthday the first day that we
Speaker 1: got to steal Con, so we did go to dinner.
Speaker 1: She flew in that night and we on her birthday,
Speaker 1: which is lovely of her to do that for her fans.
Speaker 1: And we went to dinner, and it was all of
Speaker 1: her friends that flew in with her, and and Brian
Speaker 1: and I and ruth Anne and Brian'smander and Drew Fuller
Speaker 1: that she was charmed with, and his best friends with
Speaker 1: and we all had a lovely dinner. But that group,
Speaker 1: I'm telling this part because that group flew in on
Speaker 1: Shannon and Chris, her best friend, their private plane, and
Speaker 1: we were lucky enough to fly home with them on
Speaker 1: the private plane, which was literally, oh my god. So Lex,
Speaker 1: you guys, you like you pull in and they like
Speaker 1: take your bags like on a bell cart, as if
Speaker 1: you're going up to a luxury suite. And meanwhile we
Speaker 1: get there. We don't know how this works. In the car,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out on the way there, and I'm telling
Speaker 1: ruth Anne and Jason, you guys, I'm freaking out. I'm free,
Speaker 1: I'm Jason, and I and ruth Anna are in the
Speaker 1: car alone on the way there, and because we were
Speaker 1: dropping Jason off in Nashville. Shannon made a pit stop
Speaker 1: to drop off Jason, and I'm like wow. So I
Speaker 1: was like, I am freaking out. I've never been on
Speaker 1: a private plane, and both of you were like, okay,
Speaker 1: you've never been on a private plane, and I really
Speaker 1: had to think about it. I was like, I think
Speaker 1: one of those ones that go to Vegas where it's
Speaker 1: smaller and it's a shared thing, but like on somebody's
Speaker 1: private plane. I couldn't recall. I'm like, I don't think so. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're on Shannon's plane and then she promptly tells everybody
Speaker 1: that the toilet on her plane is sacred and nobody
Speaker 1: can poop in that. So yeah, when I got home,
Speaker 1: let's just say I got into part position,
