WEBVTT - When Tori’s Away, Brian Austin Green and The Boys Will Play 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:15.880 Misspelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast, Matthew. 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:22.079 Lawrence, Brian Austin Green, My friend, how are you? Thank 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.600 you so much for doing this? Please? 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:26.960 Are you kidding? 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.720 So you were the first one that came to mind 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.000 when this came about. I had this idea of, since 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.320 Tory is not feeling great, of doing this this couple 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.880 episodes for and really making it a celebration of Toy 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.919 because she's so loved by the people that know her 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.280 and that have spent time around her. And I know 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:55.600 you spent so much time around her because our storylines 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.240 were together, and I know that you know, we used 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.880 to imber on a daily basis. I would always have 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.440 people asking me, so, what's Toy like? And how is 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.560 that it's the boss's daughter and all of that, And 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:14.039 I was always so shocked, and I loved the fact 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.440 that I could genuinely say to people that if you 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.920 didn't know that Toy was the boss's daughter, you would 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.720 never know it by being on set and being around her, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.399 because it was never it was never a card that 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.960 she played, It was never anything that she flexed. Right, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.039 how was it for you coming because you came in? 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:34.880 Was it the first season. 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.679 When no, it was the beginning of the second season yep, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:46.000 and just real quickly I got involved. I had never 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.480 seen the show. Okay, the first year I knew about it, 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.240 but I had never seen it. And my agent called 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.320 and said, they want to see you about possibly playing 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.360 the father of one of the people on the show. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.280 I don't even think I ever told you this, and 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.799 I didn't. I was doing other things. And I kind 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.000 of went, I don't think so, because you remember the 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.000 first year was not that great. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.080 Yeah, for the show. Nobody was, nobody was watching it. 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.000 We were like far from a hit. Yeah. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.520 And so I said to my agent, I don't know, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:29.320 you know, he said, listen, you've never played a father before. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.919 I think, just go talk to them. It'll be good. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.919 So I went and I sat with the guys who 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.079 are now some of them my friends, and we talked 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.320 about it was supposed to be one episode and I said, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.560 whose father would. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.040 I be playing? 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.600 And they said Brian Austin Green and I said, who 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:58.399 I'm in? Did you really well, if you you remember this, 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.079 you were how old were you when you did Circus 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:07.079 of the Stars twelve? Okay that's when we met. Yeah, 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.200 we rehearsed that summer. I walked the high wire. You 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.280 did some easy thing where they flipped you in the air. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.840 Don't say easy, are you crazy? I did a teterboard 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:25.840 my friend that I had to wear pink tights. Okay, yes, okay, 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.480 well like sparkles on them. So let's that's even the 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.600 playing field a little bit. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.680 I'll show you the picture of my costume. Forget about 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.880 the big tights. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.200 And bad as mine, but okay, go ahead. 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.440 Anyway, I was being sarcastic. That thing you did was insane. Anyway, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.400 So we spent a few weeks together during rehearsals, and 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.800 I loved you and I got to know your mom. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.840 It was great. So when they said your father, I 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.840 was like, oh, I'm so in and you don't. You 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720 don't remember this, and I'll get to Tory in the second. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.760 You don't remember this. But my first day on the show, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.720 I walked into the makeup trailer and you were sitting 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.320 in the makeup chair, and you stood up and came 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.840 over and we hugged each other and it was great. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.440 And I believe you said to me, how old were 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.600 you then? Like second? Seventeen seventeen? Yes, I believe you 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.680 said to me. I said, how are you doing? I 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.840 know you're doing great, and you said, I just closed 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:29.640 on a house. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:37.120 I went, wait, what what? Yeah? 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.200 Anyway, I have very vivid memories of you guys. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.160 I remember that. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.880 I don't remember telling you that I closed on a house, 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:48.480 but I remember that. I remember clearly when you came 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.359 in because I someone had mentioned your name that you 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:57.000 were coming in to play my dad, and I was 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.680 excited about it because we did get along so well. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.920 Yeah, when we were doing Circus at the Stars. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:08.039 Yep, here's the amazing thing you asked about. What was 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.800 it like for me on the show. I had already 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.080 done a lot of work, and to be around the 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:20.520 group of you, all you guys from that point, and 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:27.680 then going forward nine years and seeing people don't realize. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:27.960 What you are. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.120 I mean, it was great you were working and getting 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.279 famous and making money, but people never realized. I always 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.520 used to talk about it, all the things that you 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.920 had to go through in dealing with all of that stuff, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:48.160 and nobody more so than Tory, as you said, nobody, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:49.839 nobody because of. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.240 Who her dad was. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.599 And now I'm going to tell you a great story 0:05:55.640 --> 0:06:02.560 about Tory Okay. I loved all of you, well almost 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.520 all of you, but that's another. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.360 Story, that's another podcast. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.760 I loved most of you. Anyway. I lived in the 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.600 house at that time. I shared a house, a huge 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:19.920 house on Mulholland Drive, and the top floor of the 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.479 house it was four floors. It went into the hill 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.720 on Mulholland Drive by the Hollywood sign. I had the 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.080 bottom two floors and a couple that owned the house 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.359 had the top two floors. I had a separate entrance 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.599 and it was amazing. Anyway. The deep Paul Thomas, who 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.880 owned the house, was a director, and for the summer 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.480 they did a house swap with a family from Scotland, 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:54.279 from Edinburgh, Scotland, and that family came over. This was 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.239 the third or fourth year, I think, so around ninety 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.040 four or five. Only from Scotland came over. And the 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.719 day I came up from my place and walked out 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.560 to the driveway, the family had just gotten there and 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.960 they had a sixteen year old daughter. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.600 I believe she was Oh boy prime. Okay. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.520 I didn't say a word, and Paul and Debbie hadn't 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.880 told them anything except somebody was sharing the house with them. 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.720 I walked out into the driveway and this young lady 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:36.240 lost her mind. The first thing she said was, oh 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:42.440 my god, Beverly Hills. That's what they called it over there. Yeah, anyway, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.280 I talked to her and over the next couple days, 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.880 and finally I went upstairs and I said to her, 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.600 are you busy tomorrow? And she said no, I said, 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.680 you're coming to work with me. Well, she didn't sleep 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.080 the whole night. She was waiting for me. At seven 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.280 in the morning. The next morning, we drive to work 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.880 and once again, she gets out of the car with 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.360 me and we go to the makeup trailer and I 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.200 went into the makeup trailer and Tory was in there. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.680 I get choked up thinking about this. Tory was in there, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.840 and I introduced her to the makeup people and to Tory, 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.640 and this young girl could barely breathe that she was 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.320 standing in front of Tory and I told her that 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.080 she was from Scotland and they were here. And Tory 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.600 finished and she stood up and she took this girl's 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:52.040 hand and said, come with me, and they disappeared. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.240 She took her all over. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.439 All the sets. She took her into the peach pit 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.280 and Joey was in there, and I forget who else 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.959 she took pictures of this girl with everybody. I didn't 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.760 see them for an hour. I had no idea where 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:16.240 they were. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:18.160 It was. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.439 Her parents told me that night it was the greatest day. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.079 Of her life. 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.079 And it was all because of how I get choked up, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:38.120 how amazing Tory was, how wonderful and kind, and those 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.600 are the things when I think of Tory, I always 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:46.400 think of that story right away, and just being with 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.320 her all the time. She was never not that way 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:56.280 in nine years, none of you were. Tory was never, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:02.520 ever one time anything but loving and kind and funny 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:08.120 and wonderful. Yeah, I just I love all of you, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.240 But Tori is really something. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.920 I let me just let me just point out that, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.920 you know, as you are giving her her well deserved 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.400 flowers for that, you're the one that made that happen. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.160 So let's just like, let's just sit on that for 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:26.640 a minute. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.760 You like, you can say, well, but the reality is 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.920 that girl was at our set because you brought her there. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:39.560 So what an amazing story that you shared of toy, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.200 But what an amazing. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.760 Story of you. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.120 And it's one of it's honestly one of the things 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:51.480 that I loved about our cast, and that experience was 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:57.440 for as big as it was that story that you're 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.800 telling me of Toy grabbing her hand and walking around 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.040 the set and introducing her to everyone and taking pictures. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.480 That happened daily. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.600 We had people that would come to set daily and 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.240 it was it started becoming a challenge for us of 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.160 who from the cast was going to see this person 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.920 first and give them that day and it was make 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.319 a wish kids, It was friends, you know, friends of 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.040 cast members or guest stars, or it was that.

So tell me give 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.680 us a little backstory on how it was that you 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.680 first got into nine on two and Oh. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.280 Okay, it's funny. I actually came to love nine O 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.880 two one oh through Save by the Bell. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.920 Okay, well, I didn't know that, and I feel like 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.200 I was cheating on a little bit. 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.760 But whatever's got. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.240 I was at a book fair in grade eight. Do 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.120 you remember like Scholastic book fairs? Huh yeah, and they 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.040 had this book meet the cast of two and oh, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.600 and I was like, oh cool. So I was like looking. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:06.880 Through one of the greatest books of all time. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.160 Oh yeah, totally incredible. And I was flipping through and 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.240 I was like, oh wow, who's this chick? And I 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.120 was like, she's pretty good looking. And then I read 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.480 in the description here TV experiences appearances on Save by 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.720 the Bell. I was like, what did she plan on 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.920 Save by the Bell? I do not remember her character? 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.080 And then I put two and two together and I 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.000 was like, oh, she was Violet bicker Staff. So I 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.520 was like, I'm totally going to start watching this show 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.320 because I love Save by the Bell and I thought 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.800 she was awesome as a Violet bicker Staff, and that's 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.560 how my infatuation with two started. Save by the crazy 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:43.920 Yeah that's so. 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:45.160 Now why. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.920 And I've always tried to figure out in my own 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:54.480 mind why your connection with her and Donna Martin and 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.920 all that. I always assumed maybe it was because you 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.280 guys shared the same last name, the same initial. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.720 So it was also a Steve Martin fan. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:04.520 Are you you so? 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.719 I assume that you had some sort of like kindred 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.120 you know, we're brother and sister in a past life 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.080 kind of thing, or but maybe I'm way off, maybe 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:13.680 way off. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.360 I think it started just because I was a big 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.399 fan of hers. I don't know. Donna was always on 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:23.119 the show. She was the approachable, friendly one that was like, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.600 I don't know, almost like she didn't care who you 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.440 were or your background. She was like willing to be 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.560 your friend and stuff like that. Maybe that's why I 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.560 gravitated towards her. I don't know. I also like Jason Priestley, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.200 loved because he was Canadian and you obviously because you 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:41.440 dated that because. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.480 I'm on the show with you right now to say 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.439 that over your shoulder, Yeah, that's right, that's right. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.280 You're like Jimney Croocket right there. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:55.680 Yeah, so you uh, you became a fan of the 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.280 show what early on, like. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.080 A couple of years in yeah, years. In The first 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.480 episode I watched was a season three episode, I believe. Okay, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.720 it was the episode where Andrea is having dreams that 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.720 she's joining the circus and Gil Myers is like shaking 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.080 the tight rope that she's walking on. That was the 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.399 first episode I ever saw, Okay. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.760 Yeah, and then you went back and you rewatched the 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:19.760 previous ones. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.720 Yeah, because that was like I think like episode eighty something, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.520 and after you guys hit like one hundred episodes and 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.880 went into syndication and then they are every day after 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.520 school at three o'clock. So I caught up on the 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.760 first three seasons right away, and then I was caught 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.080 off the broadcast by the end of season four. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.520 That's crazy, that's amazing. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.639 Yeah, so what I know, you've you've been friends now 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:46.480 with Toy for a long time. And again, I really 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.440 want this to be a celebration of Toy, Like, this 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.320 is not sitting around talking about this person we knew. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.800 This is talking about a person that we know. Yes, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.280 she's she is feeling under the weather. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.480 So I've I feel like, what better way of cheering 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.880 somebody up than letting them watch something of a bunch 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:07.560 of people. 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:09.199 Talking about how great they are? 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:10.879 So so. 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.320 How about it? This is if this was a message 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.040 for Toy, you know she's going to be watching this. 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.560 She's Yeah. Over the years, she's it blows my mind 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.840 the amount of opportunities and things she's made happen for me. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:27.879 When I first met her in two thousand and nine 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.600 at a book signing, I obviously had been a fan 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.439 since I was like fourteen years old and drove fourteen 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:36.800 hours to New Brunswick, Canada, to New Jersey to go 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.800 to her book signing, and she was just like flaberg 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.359 acid that somebody would take the time to travel that 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.320 far to go meet her, and I was like super excited, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.119 and like it showed up on camera because it was 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.320 being filmed by her reality show, and we didn't get 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.719 the reality show in Canada, but a friend of mine 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.360 in the US was like, you were just on Tori 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.320 Spellen's reality show and they sent me a video of it, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.680 and I was like looking all goofy, like you just 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.879 made my dreams come true. I was, and I had 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:09.160 no idea it was even being filmed. Yeah, and yeah, 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.600 so it all sat in two thousand and nine. We 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.240 became friends, and that was back at the beginning stages 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.240 of Twitter, okay, And so we'd like strike up a 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.760 conversation on there and she'd retweet stuff like photos or 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.800 like get Tori Spelling to be in this movie or 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.119 something like that. She would like just like retweet me 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:28.680 and stuff like that. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.679 Were you just flabbergasted at first, like speaking to her 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.639 on Twitter and having any sort of a connection with her. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.439 It's with any of you guys, really, but yes, with her, 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.880 especially the beginning, like the fact that she even knew 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.359 who I was. I remember the first book Sonning I 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.480 went to, she didn't really know who I was. She was, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.359 you know, honored that I was like making such a 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.240 big deal of her. But by the second and third 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.560 book Sunning that I went to, she knew who I 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.159 was and she was tweeting me on the limo or 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.159 the like, in her suv on the way to the 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.440 actual event and she's like, oh, I can't wait to 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.639 see DM. And the fact that she knew who I 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.399 was and was like as soon as she got there, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.760 she found me in line and brought me to the 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.280 front of the line, and she just just an amazing woman. 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.480 And one time I went to a book signing in 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.679 New York City for her, and it was my birthday weekend. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.040 I think it was twenty eleven, so I would have 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:29.320 been Wow. I would have been probably thirty two or something, 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.920 and I went to New York City for my birthday 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.359 and she's like, oh, I'm doing a taping of Martha's Stewart. 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.199 I'm like, oh, yeah, I tried to get standby tickets 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.760 but they're completely sold out, and she's like, oh, don't 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.639 worry about it, I'll get you in. So I waited 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:48.040 outside Martha Stewart's headquarters in New York City in Chelsea 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.720 and she pulls up in her SUV and brings me 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.000 through security. We go up to the dressing room. I 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.640 get to see Martha Stewart in this big, glass, thin 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:03.159 conference room sitting around a table, and it was just 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.719 it was insane. And she was like, Oh, Darren, you're awesome. 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.760 I can't I can't believe you travel this way to 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.240 kind of my book signing, and thank you for supporting 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.000 me and being there for me. 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.880 And yeah, so that's that's really really cool. 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:20.160 Yeah, very cool. 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.000 She's a very like I watch her because we've been 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:28.960 doing the conventions and stuff now, and she is very 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:33.399 committed to her fans and the people that waite in line, 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:38.280 and she is really conscious of making it a great 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:43.280 experience for the people that are there.
