Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tory spelling an iHeartRadio podcast. So summer is
in full swing. Oh my gosh, it's like Sally sells
seashells by the seashore. That's a lot, says, Oh okay,
and hanging these in years. So just celebrate a fourth
(00:28):
of July. I hope everyone had an amazing holiday. I
gotta say, all I wanted was for my kids to
be out of school because I'm not a morning person. Obviously,
you have to get up every morning, h take them
to school, you know, do all that, the drop offs.
It's but it's not my thing. I've never been a
morning person. Worked my whole life, so I always had
(00:50):
to be on set early. But oh gosh, back in
the day, if I could sleep in, I would sleep
in like till twelve one o'clock. Oh those were the days.
So I was so excited. I was like, this is
going to be great summer, summer. Summer. So they sleep late,
but I feel like I'm just on duty all day long,
(01:14):
and as they're getting older, it's not getting any easier.
So I don't know about you guys, if you have
kids home for the summer, and I know all of
smart people out there sent their kids to camp or
something with them. My kids are home and they're like,
ntain us, entertain us, entertain yourselves. But I just feel
like I'm basically twenty four to seven snack bitch. That's
(01:39):
what I am. I am a glorified snack bitch, not
even proud of it, like self professed snack bitch. But
the kids during summer eat all day long. I'm not
saying they're eating unhealthy or anything, but they're hungry, you know.
They're like out, they're moving, they're cool, they're running around,
(02:02):
and they're like, I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Can I have
a snack? And I have a snack? Like, yeah, the
refrigerators are right there, go for it, Panther on the
other side, cool, No, I go and do it for
them allrgedly. And then they got into water balloons. I
never knew that these little cute packets called bunch of balloons.
(02:26):
I was like, look, cute, fun, fun, I love fun stuff.
Sound like a big hit at heart would be the
bane of my existence. This summer water balloon's brilliant idea.
I mean, when we were young, would we do We
took balloons, but on the hose, blew them up, then
they pop. Now they actually market them as water balloons,
(02:46):
bunch balloons. I think it's coming called zero makes them zero.
I'd like to have a word with you privately sometimes
because you have made slash ruined my life. But they
get everywhere, so and they go through like hundreds, hundreds
and seconds. So you get a packet and on the
front it's like, I'm not kidding, it'll be like two
(03:08):
hundred four hundred, and you're like, yes, afternoon is said
of entertainment. And then within seconds they take these little balloons,
they attach them to the hose, they blow up. They
then tie them or they tie themselves off and they
throw them at each other. And there's little shelves of
(03:29):
balloons left everywhere. It's like little pieces of like colored
condoms everywhere. It's I cannot and the kids, I'm like,
you have to clean these up. He do, but you know,
kids cleaning stuff up is like not really kids cleaning
stuff up. So they're like, well, we got it out
of the pool. I'm like, well, let's just start. But
(03:49):
there's little tiny pieces everywhere. So my suggestion because I
have to go around and I got these nails and
pick up each little piece of Ryde balloon and then
throw them away. Is I would like to make me
a flea to a bunch of balloons zero. I think
the company is to do like a pack of neutrals,
(04:13):
you know, I mean, Kim Kardashian's made a huge brand
off of it with skims, right, neutrals, everything in neutrals.
A bunch of balloons should be in neutrals. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I can handle that, because then it's like into your pavements,
so it's concrete. It's like you know, beige's and rays
(04:34):
and like all shades of it, just the whole spectrum
of it. I'd be okay with that. I'd be fine.
And then they could have one so let's say you
have a lawn, you could have like the green spectrum,
so it'd be like, you know, all different colors of green.
One thing I did notice, though, is my boy, my
seven year old bo very smart kid. He said to me,
(04:56):
we got we got the festive black. It was a
new one out for summer. Kinks to her really festive colors.
He goes, Mom, have you noticed they have some new
colors in this one? I said, Oh, is that is
that true, and he goes, yes, they've added cyan. I'm
not ashamed. I knew the word obviously, I had to
look it up. I had to google that shit cyan.
(05:18):
See why an. It's a shade of blue, almost like
a teal between blue and green. Very pretty. And he
was correct there was cyan in there. So that was
my fourth of July basically running around cleaning those up.
And then the morning of fourth of July, I had
gotten up early and I left the door unlocked because
(05:40):
my best friend Jess was coming over with her family,
and I said, okay, you know, just whenever you guys
get here, She's like, we'll be there in the morning,
you know, come on in. The doors un locked. Well,
our dog, Manty, figured out how to get the front
door open. Now, Monty's a sneaky He's a sneaky I'm
not gonna lie. He he he gets out of anywhere.
(06:02):
This is a dog that I mean. If you were
in an escape room, you'd want this dog with you.
That was a bad reference. If you were locked in
a box, you'd want this dog with you. Worst reference.
We can get out of anything, rates Schollars. He's a magician.
Magical manty. But we now live in a house where
(06:24):
it's a steel door. You guys, it's steel. There is
no way he could chew out of it. He could
pry it open. This dog found a way to stand up,
push the latch of the steel door inward, open it
and get out. I mean, America's got talent. Monty David
(06:46):
Copperfield pull Monty. Yeah, he got out, and a woman
brought him back. And all of a sudden, I hear hello, Hello, Hello,
and I'm like, what's that. It doesn't sound like Jess, Jess,
Jess Hello. And then I hear someone coming up the stairs.
(07:08):
This woman comes into our bedroom and she's like and
I was like, oh my god. And she's like, oh, oh,
I could I think there were dead bodies in here?
Like what what are you talking about? And she goes,
I came and I didn't hear anyone and the house
he's referring to, how messy and organize my houses. The
(07:31):
thing died and been in here and there were dead bodies.
Why she went immediately to dead bodies, I don't know.
And I was like, oh, yeah, we just moved two
months ago. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just I'm a hoarder. No, yeah,
it didn't get better. But she stood there and she
(07:51):
was like, your dog was out. I was like, yeah,
I'm sorry, my friends are coming over, and she goes, oh.
I was just so worried about him. I was so concerned,
and then I just pushed and like the door just
came open, and I was like, yeah, I know, I
know that's a thing anyway, So I would have offered
her a red Bull, sugar free red Bull, but it
was my lust one. So I'll just say goodbye and
(08:12):
think dr and center on her way. So my summer's
growing up were pretty different than the summers my kids
and I have. I would say, yeah, so my dad
didn't fly. People always think like, oh my gosh, you
grew up parent's Spelling's daughter. You guys were so wealthy,
like you must have just taken these lavish trips around
the world, and I'm like, they were lavish. They weren't
(08:34):
around the world though. So every summer growing up we
would go to Vegas Rando. I know, keep in mind,
you guys Vegas super kid friendly now, like I'm talking
about you know, like the eighties, you guys, like it
was not kid friendly. But we would. I mean, I
(08:55):
feel like the only thing they had there that was
kid friendly was Circus Circus. Even that was borderline, you
know what I mean, But there was Yeah, there was
nothing for kids to do because it wasn't kid place,
you know. But we would go every summer because we
could drive and my dad didn't fly. So we would
go to Vegas and we would go to a iconic
(09:18):
historical landmark of a Vegas hotel that you know, the
rat Pack went to. It was called Desert Inn. It
is unfortunately not there any longer, but we would always
get We would get like the Penthouse and there were
two Penthouse suites and it was this beautiful, amazing high
(09:39):
end resort and we would have the Penthouse suite and
we would like literally we would go in. This is
interesting because we would go in an RV. Huh, and
you know, we would like watch movies in the back.
And you know, my parents didn't drive. My mom actually flew,
she was she would fly there and us there and
(10:00):
my dad and our nanny and my brother and security
and assistant. We would all be in the RV and
you know, it's like a five hour drive. It was
super fun, super exciting, and we would get there and
we would stay for like a month, literally stay in
Vegas for a month, and we would travel with because
(10:22):
my godfather was Dean Martin and my dad was best
friends with Sammy Davis Junior, the whole gang, so we
would always kind of coordinate it when they were also
performing in Vegas and would have like what I guess
you guys would now call a residency. I think it
wasn't called that then, but it would be their performing
and Sammy Davis Junior and his wife Paltavi's and their
(10:46):
kids and family grandkids, like, they would all come and
we would have the whole floor and we would be
half and they would be half, so we could go
like in and out and Uncle Sammy would be playing
and we would get to go and it was super
exciting to get to see his show and we would
hang out and we would go to the pool. But
my mom always was worried that, like my dad also
(11:09):
sorry miss whole Point, also was filming a show called
Vegas that they also filmed at the Desert in and
so my dad was a workaholic, so you know, it
was like a twofer forum, right, he got to be
there and be present to produce a show, and he
also got to have family vacation. So my mom was
(11:31):
always like, Okay, I gotta find stuff for the kids
to do. So one night she was like, literally, oh
my gosh, you guys, sorry, there was like yellow pages
back then. I'm really dating myself here. Oh my gosh.
When you were young, they didn't even have booster seats
and restaurants they would like bring out stacks of yellow
Pages for kids to sit on in the booths. So
(11:51):
my mom would try to find things for us to do,
and she would look into the yellow Pages and she
would like have like notes of like Okay, I have
to call here and do this. So she found a
place called the Chicken Ranch, and she was super excited
because we loved animals, and she was like, oh, this
will be a great like daytime thing like Aaron filming
my dad. And she's like, I can take the kids
(12:15):
and go to the chicken Ranch. So she called and
this woman's like hello, and she's like, Hi, I'm just
calling to inquire about your chicken ranch. And I was
thinking of bringing my children tomorrow and the woman was like,
oh honey. She goes, hmmm, I don't think this is
(12:37):
a place for children. So anyway, it's basically it was
a whorehouse. Did you guys know that they used to
call it a chicken ranch? I did coorehouse. No, that's
not right. I'm Jolly Parton. Wait and Burt Reynolds Fessel
whorehouse in Texas. Oh yeah, so it was like one
of those was a brothel. What do they call them?
(12:58):
A house of ill repute? Ooh, you sound smart. Oh,
I'd like to try to say that. So it was
the house of ill repute for pute ill repute. Anyway,
they were laying there, but not eggs. So it was like, yeah,
so we didn't go to the chicken ranch. Imagine my
(13:18):
mom loves to still tell that story. Like imagine if
she hadn't called and just like showed up, We're like
we're here. We're like pull up and are like extend
it long like White Limo from the eighties, and we're like, oh,
here we go. So that one didn't work out, but
she was always like trying to find fun stuff for
us to do. And it was really cool because I
(13:40):
remember one of those days when I was young and
Uncle Sammy Davis Junior, he had his show that night,
and he was like, you're here, I want to show
you something. So he took me and he had this
giant suitcase because he would bring this for his fans,
and he had all of his like original old tap
(14:02):
because he would tap dance, So the taps he would
have them, and once they were used, he would always
keep them. He notoriously like kept them and he would
have them put on bolo ties. Yeah, and he gave
me one and he was like, you know, we've kind
of made new ones to give you know, as I
(14:23):
guess merch back then, but he had the original one
that was the sample to meet them, and he gave
it to me. It was something that was really really
spiritual to me that I had had my entire life
until he passed away. And when he passed away, my
dad was really sad because he had lost his best friend.
And I went to my drawer in my room where
(14:46):
I kept it, and I gave it to my dad.
My dad passed. Now I don't know where that is.
I should find that. And then Phyllis Diller, who was
a ginormous comedian back in the day. First of all,
she would super funny, super kooky, I feel like she
like Maribou, Like she would wear it on her head
(15:06):
and like she like I don't know, she just had
crazy style. But I don't even know. It's probably not
a little known fact. She was like one of the guys,
like there was the rat Pack and then like Philip Stiller,
like hung she was like the girl. She was like
a chick. Like they loved her and she would just
like always be with them and be like like super cool.
(15:29):
So she would have like these like really cool dinner
parties in Vegas. It was like kind of like Palm Springs,
like that's what her house looked like, like very it
was very cool, and I got to go and see
it from the sidelines. I think that's why a lot
of the way she was influenced me to be able
to be funny and you'd be smart and be loud
(15:52):
and still be cute. And I look back and I'm like, wow,
she was around like her like she was around like
some mega men, you know, like mega iconic mail, power
and energy, and she like brought it. So I have
(16:21):
so many Vegas memories of my childhood that oh my gosh,
and then I have stories, Oh gosh, I have a
lot of summer stories growing up. So we're gonna have
to make this a part two, part three, part four.
Oh my god, there could be like twenty that. These
are some cold stories. Anyway, So Sigfried and Roy. We
(16:42):
got to go to see Sigfrey and Roy at the
time the biggest like magician duo in the world. No
in Vegas. They were like very out there, correct, like
they were partners in real life, which I think people
didn't know it first, but because it was the eighties,
(17:03):
like it was kind of like and I feel like
they were flashy but still like trying to like, oh
woo the women in the crowd, you know, so it
was like, oh my gosh, those tans. They had some
great tans. There was the Blotten one, the Brunette one,
Roy which one was Roy Brunette. Correct. Anyway, got to
see the show like everybody else. Very cool. But then
(17:26):
they said to my dad, oh, you should bring the
kids over this weekend, and we were like cool, but
not you guys. No one can appreciate this shit. When
you're like, you know, eight ten, like you're like cool, great, okay,
guess I'll go whatever, And then you look back and
(17:47):
you're like oh my god, like no, and you look
back you're like wow, like falls. I went to Stick
Freedom Roy's house, like I got a tour. I got
to go behind the scenes, to go into pool with them.
They took the tigers and lions and tigers and bears
were no bears. It just went with it in the
(18:07):
pool and to do all that stuff. Yeah, and then
wait what one got eaten by the tiger? Raid? Attacked, attacked,
not eaten. That sounded more Dreman. There were some good
looking men. It was you know what it was. It
was like David Copperfield mixed with like magic Mic mixed
(18:33):
with like Freddie Mercury. It was like wild. Their whole
appearance thing did I kind of put that all together
and they were just like true entertainers, which was really
cool anyway. So yeah, I got to go to uh
their house and see the behind the scenes and go
in the pool with Sayfree and Roy and their animals.
(18:54):
Did you do an episode of Vegas while you were there?
I did so. My very first appearance on camera was
on my dad's show Vegas, and it did happen while
we were there. One summer I was five and I
got Robert Errick. I got to be like Uncle Dan,
and I think I even did that Hi Uncle Dan.
(19:15):
I just went like the aw shucks move anyway. I
was really nervous and like all dolled up and like
ready to go. And they were like, okay, when we
call it action, you know, you just walk through the
door and go hi Uncle Dan. And I walked through
the door and I went Uncle Dan and they were like,
(19:37):
but wow, that was great. And my dad came over
and he's like, he used to call me Toto because
when I was little, I couldn't say toy, so he'd
be like, what's your name? I would go Toto. So
he always called me Toto. And now when I tell
people that, they're like total, like the band, total, like
(19:57):
the dog, and I'm like, thanks, snow ho toe to
o t o capital T lowercase oh, capital T lowercase oh.
So he'd be like, Toto, that wasn't just perfect, that
was plu perfect. And that became a running thing with
my dad and I that whenever I had, you know,
auditions or anything throughout my you know, young career, and
(20:21):
he would read with me. He'd be like, we'd go
through it and then he'd give me direction, we read
it again and he would be like, that was plu perfect.
Or when I was doing a play. I did a
lot of theater in school, I was a plu perfect
when he would see a performance, and that was like.
Even I, being his daughter, knew he was like mega,
(20:43):
and I was like wow. I just thought it was
the seal of approval. Maybe it wasn't because he was mega,
because he was just my dad, and it just felt
really good that he enjoyed my performance. I think it
was that, but I knew it was a big deal. Anyway.
He was like one take toy. So that became thing.
One take toy. So now even when I film stuff,
(21:04):
I have that in my head and I'm like, get
it on the first taken, on the first take, you know,
because I'm very competitive and I'm like I got to
show my own self up. And I'm like yeah. And
so if I do one take and you know, the
director's like, yes, we got it, I'm like, yeah, you
sure did one take Tory. I say that in my head,
I would never say it out loud because I have
no confidence. So yeah, that was my first appearance on
(21:27):
screen in Vegas. So then my mom like always wanted
us to have not just things to do during the day,
but also in the evening as well. So at the time,
(21:49):
I don't know if it's still the same because now
it's more family friendly. Shows. They would always, like at
different hotels, would have acts, and they'd have different types
of shows, and they would have like, you know, the
seven pm show and the nine pm show. So it
would be in Vegas, they would have like variety shows
and it would be like, you know, a magician would
(22:11):
come out, and then they would have like an animal
act with like performing poodles on stools, and then you know,
like you know, different things and in between, and then
like a music act. But in between they would always
have the dancers come out and do their like showgirl,
like her name is Lola, She's a showgirl, you know
(22:35):
that thing and that I was fascinated. But the difference
between the seven pm show and the nine pm show
is they are fully covered for like the seven pm
show and family can come, and then the nine pm
show they're hopless. So at nighttime, my parents would go
out and do their thing, but they would send us
(22:57):
to these shows and would go with our nanny and
the driver. They were really fun, but it was like,
you know, you get your two dreams. And I remember
I was introduced to Pink Lady's Virgin of course, which
was like, I don't know, it's like the pink drink
now at Starbucks Hello, But it was like in the eighties,
(23:18):
so basically, and I'm not sure what the alcoholic version
has in it, but it would be blended with marachino
cherry on top and you get too and you get
it throughout the show and then they come around and
they would always take like the family photo at your
big like it was old school, like red leather boots
(23:39):
and all these hotels in the showrooms, showrooms, theaters, whatever,
and I have I just found them the other day.
I have no joke because they make like they would make.
It would be like Caesar's Palace and you open it
up and it's like almost like driver's license size, you know,
(24:00):
pictures insides like a little thing you unfold. And I
found one from every single hotel and it's like a
family photo me, my brother, our nanny, my parents, driver
and security guard. We're like geez, no, think says rich
kids like this from every defunct hotel, like they're all
(24:23):
gone now. But so anyway, but I do remember going
one time there was some screw up and we went
and somehow we were in the topless show and I
was just I mean, I was blown. I was obsessed.
(24:43):
Like I was just like whoopies whoa like it was
you know, yeah, I just I just remember my nanny
being like, oh, well we're here. You know, she'd probably
like already had like her like second whiskey se hour
or something, and she was like shu. But that was
a fun experience. And I was like, when I'm mint
(25:05):
a half boobs like that, they're gonna be botched up
and done. The strom should be thought the whole thing.
Could I didn't get into the seven PM show, have
got my og tips. And then one summer in Vegas,
we would be at the Desert inn That's where we
stayed every summer, and we would get to like walk
the lakes and they had this expansive property with you know,
(25:28):
golf and beautiful full property. And I remember one day
that all of like the pool boys. Can you say
that pool boys cabana boys cool hotties? I don't know.
They were always so cute and like in college and
you'd be like so cute. So one day we had
(25:48):
just gotten there and they were like, welcome to expelling family,
and we're like, hey, we haven't seen you since last summer.
And I was a year older and I'm like, oh,
it doesn't think I'm cute now. I was six and
then I'm just kidding. No, I feel like I was
like ten when this happened, this experience. He was like, oh,
do you want to see something? And he showed me.
(26:11):
They had a box full of duck and he was like,
look with all these old baby ducks and I guess
the mom had somehow abandoned these old baby ducks. And
they had all these little fuzzy ducklings in a box
and they were like, oh, you know, we're gonna call someone.
They're gonna come and get them. And I was like,
(26:31):
oh my gosh, I love them. And so I was
holding one and he was like, wink wang, you can
take one if you want, and I was like can.
I I mean we were there for a month, so
it wasn't like I was gonna, you know, just have
it for the night or something. So I took a
baby duckling and I snuck it up to our penthouse
(26:56):
suite and I had it in our bathtub. So by
like the second day and my parents found out and
they were cool about it, and by the second day
that duck was following me all over. But then a
month then we had to go home. But I was like,
oh my god, gosh, we have to take my duck
home with us, and my parents decided that was not
(27:21):
the right thing to do, and so I was devastated
and really sad. And the day we were leaving, I
had to go and put the duck back in, which
they encouraged that because they said there's other ducks here
and it'll make friends and it has this great lifestyle
and I was like, yeah, it totally does. I mean
(27:43):
being back at the manor and bell Air would have
been a great lifestyle too. Anyway, so we went to
do the drop off, so I say goodbye and I'm
crying and I'm like, oh, always love you, and put
the duck into the pond, and then we were told, like,
you have to like walk away because the one follow right,
(28:05):
So we put her in the pond like the man
made water form on this property and ran, like every
good mother does, like why sea, So ran and hid
behind a tree and this duck was like all over
the pond and I was just gutted. So then we
(28:28):
walked the way around and it was like, okay, you
know those movies in slow motion, like an end where
they find each other again and they like run and
they're like running through New York City through the subway
or like you know, and it's just like, yes, we're
meant to be together, and they slow mow it so
(28:48):
way across and it was ginormous. She saw me and
she was at the other end, and this little thing
she goes and she height failed it. I think her
like little legs were like out of the water across
the pond and she found me, and I was like,
(29:08):
oh my gosh, Yeah, let's end my story. I had
to lever. It wouldn't let me take her home. And
then the next summer when we came back, I was
looking at every adult duck and the ones that didn't
have kids because she probably abandonment issues, and was like,
I'm not having kids after this experience. But I never
saw her again, but I'm sure she had a very nice,
(29:30):
nice life. Yeah. I had a lot of experiences in Vegas,
but I had a first, very momentous experience in Vegas
that I'll never quite forget. So when I was fourteen,
I got my period for the first time in Vegas.
And I was there during the summer and all my
(29:56):
friends had gotten their period, and I was like, oh gosh.
And I was like, oh, I guess I'm a light blumer.
And then uh, I got it and my mom was like,
have some, you know, and I was like not awesome,
Like we're gonna go to the pool, like, oh my gosh,
like I had. And I had the cutest teeniest bikini,
(30:20):
teeny weeny bikini. Because I was like super smart, I
would take my bathing suits. Maybe it wasn't smart obviously,
I'm just a hoarder and never give it anything away.
So I would have my bathing suits like leftover from
when I was like nine ten. And then when you're fourteen,
(30:40):
you're starting to fill out and everything and your parents
won't get you like a bikini. That's like you're like, oh,
I want to hang with my friends and like dress
like this now. So I would just wear like a tiny,
tiny bikini. So I had it all picked out. My
friend went with us to Vegas. It was gold. It
was phenomenal. Oh, God, I love good mentalic. And we
(31:01):
were all prepped for the pool and then it came
so I got my period. My mom's like great. And
then the next thing I knew, like my dad came
in and I could still visualize like in it was
like double beds and like in our room and I
had a friend there and she was like okay, ready
to go to the pool. And I was like what
am I going to do? And my dad came in.
(31:24):
He was like big hugs. Mom told me the good news.
You're a woman today, and I was like, Dad, oh my,
that's so embarrassing. Thank you. But I prefer to be
called a girl. Still to this day, I like to
be called a girl. Don't ever call me a woman.
It's a choice anyway. So when that happened, my mom
(31:48):
was like, okay, we have to get you something. We
have to get you, you know, feminine products for this.
And I was like okay. My friend was like, oh great,
you know we're a tampon. You could still go to
the pool, Like I don't know if you can go
in the pool like whatever, but you can go down
lay by the pool. And so I said to my mom, Okay,
(32:09):
so we will get tampons. You'll teach me how to
use a tampon. And my mom was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
no tampons. And I was like, oh, what do I do?
And I was like a prac oh and then she
was like she was like, well I had when I
was a girl. This happened and my mom got this
(32:31):
for me, a belt, And I was like, what, what's
a belt? I'm not kidding you, guys. I don't even
know if they make this anymore. It was like archaic
even like when my mom recommended it. But it's basically
like a snap on, Like it's like a snap on
(32:54):
elastic belt that you wear around your waist and it
holds the pad. I mean, and it's not just a pad,
it's like a MerCad. I mean. It was like the
fluffiest thing I've ever seen. It was like, shoot, it
was a diaper. It was a goddamn fucking diaper. It
(33:15):
was a motherfucking diaper. I was wearing a diaper around
my waist and it was, yeah, an elastic band. It
was like you couldn't cover it up. The oddest part
is I don't even know how she found it, but
she sent her driver out to scour for what, I
(33:38):
don't know, pharmacies, drugstores, like it was a mail driver.
Ceminine diaper with a strap on belt did sound good
anyway you put me. But he found it. He found it,
like this is something my mom had when she was
a you know, a teen, and like her mom recommended it.
(33:59):
Like I don't even know how at my age at fourteen,
even in the eighties, like they even meet these still,
But he found it, and he got it and brought
it back and I was just wearing it. My friend
was like hysterically laughing at me, and I was hysterically
crying because I was like, oh my god, what am
(34:20):
I gonna do? It didn't matter if I even turned
that damn bathing suit around and had like the butt
part in the front. You couldn't cover this thing. And
it looked like I had a penis, Like it was
like a ginormous I was packing some meat and balls
down there. And then I had like this big slip
on thing around my waist, almost like a chastity belt
(34:44):
but for teens with her period, Like oh my gosh,
I mean it's actually a good tool because like no
guy would ever want to go near a girl wearing that,
so like anyway to put this on? And then I
was like, okay, I can't go to the pool in this.
I can't go anywhere in this. I can't even move
(35:07):
in this was it was a good it was a
good cushion. It was like, all right, it was a diaper.
And so my friend went to the pool with the
rest of my family and I couldn't go down to
the pool. In fact, I couldn't wear anything. Couldn't or
shorts like I think, I like put on head to
chose sweats and it was like one hundred and twenty
(35:28):
degrees out to cover this belted cad starctic belted pad.
But it was It did turn into a really really
amazing day because the hotel. Now at this time I
was older and we were staying at MGM Grand and
they had a little movie theater inside, like this old
(35:50):
fashioned movie theater that only showed black and white films.
And my mom was like, okay, well, they're all at
the pool and and you're decked in your like it's
like a padded suit. Like she was like, let's stay
in the air and do something. I was like, the god,
(36:12):
I'm wearing sweats, and she took me to the movie
there and the movie. I'll never forget this because I
was fourteen and she took me to a black and
white movie and it was the movie Gaslighting. Yep. Not
only that day did I get like the fear of
ever getting my period again, but I also got a
(36:35):
new fear of being gas lits. So yeah, pads and gaslighting.
What a fun Vegas experience. But I'll never forget it.
I didn't go in the pool for like a week. Yeah, well,
I got clever, so I would sneak into my parents'
(36:56):
room and take my dad's razor and I would uh
di y my padded belt, so I would like shave
the pad down, and then you know they forgot about it.
So yeah, then and then I would just like stick
wats of twitter paper up there and call it a
day and be like, pool down, let's go. Never forget that.
(37:18):
My dad was like, congratulations, you're a woman today. That
I had a diper on for seven days. And so
as they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
But hey, at least I can now chant Donna Martin
men Streets Vegas. Baby,
Misspelling with Tory spelling an iHeartRadio podcast. So summer is
in full swing. Oh my gosh, it's like Sally sells
seashells by the seashore. That's a lot, says, Oh okay,
and hanging these in years. So just celebrate a fourth
(00:28):
of July. I hope everyone had an amazing holiday. I
gotta say, all I wanted was for my kids to
be out of school because I'm not a morning person. Obviously,
you have to get up every morning, h take them
to school, you know, do all that, the drop offs.
It's but it's not my thing. I've never been a
morning person. Worked my whole life, so I always had
(00:50):
to be on set early. But oh gosh, back in
the day, if I could sleep in, I would sleep
in like till twelve one o'clock. Oh those were the days.
So I was so excited. I was like, this is
going to be great summer, summer. Summer. So they sleep late,
but I feel like I'm just on duty all day long,
(01:14):
and as they're getting older, it's not getting any easier.
So I don't know about you guys, if you have
kids home for the summer, and I know all of
smart people out there sent their kids to camp or
something with them. My kids are home and they're like,
ntain us, entertain us, entertain yourselves. But I just feel
like I'm basically twenty four to seven snack bitch. That's
(01:39):
what I am. I am a glorified snack bitch, not
even proud of it, like self professed snack bitch. But
the kids during summer eat all day long. I'm not
saying they're eating unhealthy or anything, but they're hungry, you know.
They're like out, they're moving, they're cool, they're running around,
(02:02):
and they're like, I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Can I have
a snack? And I have a snack? Like, yeah, the
refrigerators are right there, go for it, Panther on the
other side, cool, No, I go and do it for
them allrgedly. And then they got into water balloons. I
never knew that these little cute packets called bunch of balloons.
(02:26):
I was like, look, cute, fun, fun, I love fun stuff.
Sound like a big hit at heart would be the
bane of my existence. This summer water balloon's brilliant idea.
I mean, when we were young, would we do We
took balloons, but on the hose, blew them up, then
they pop. Now they actually market them as water balloons,
(02:46):
bunch balloons. I think it's coming called zero makes them zero.
I'd like to have a word with you privately sometimes
because you have made slash ruined my life. But they
get everywhere, so and they go through like hundreds, hundreds
and seconds. So you get a packet and on the
front it's like, I'm not kidding, it'll be like two
(03:08):
hundred four hundred, and you're like, yes, afternoon is said
of entertainment. And then within seconds they take these little balloons,
they attach them to the hose, they blow up. They
then tie them or they tie themselves off and they
throw them at each other. And there's little shelves of
(03:29):
balloons left everywhere. It's like little pieces of like colored
condoms everywhere. It's I cannot and the kids, I'm like,
you have to clean these up. He do, but you know,
kids cleaning stuff up is like not really kids cleaning
stuff up. So they're like, well, we got it out
of the pool. I'm like, well, let's just start. But
(03:49):
there's little tiny pieces everywhere. So my suggestion because I
have to go around and I got these nails and
pick up each little piece of Ryde balloon and then
throw them away. Is I would like to make me
a flea to a bunch of balloons zero. I think
the company is to do like a pack of neutrals,
(04:13):
you know, I mean, Kim Kardashian's made a huge brand
off of it with skims, right, neutrals, everything in neutrals.
A bunch of balloons should be in neutrals. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I can handle that, because then it's like into your pavements,
so it's concrete. It's like you know, beige's and rays
(04:34):
and like all shades of it, just the whole spectrum
of it. I'd be okay with that. I'd be fine.
And then they could have one so let's say you
have a lawn, you could have like the green spectrum,
so it'd be like, you know, all different colors of green.
One thing I did notice, though, is my boy, my
seven year old bo very smart kid. He said to me,
(04:56):
we got we got the festive black. It was a
new one out for summer. Kinks to her really festive colors.
He goes, Mom, have you noticed they have some new
colors in this one? I said, Oh, is that is
that true, and he goes, yes, they've added cyan. I'm
not ashamed. I knew the word obviously, I had to
look it up. I had to google that shit cyan.
(05:18):
See why an. It's a shade of blue, almost like
a teal between blue and green. Very pretty. And he
was correct there was cyan in there. So that was
my fourth of July basically running around cleaning those up.
And then the morning of fourth of July, I had
gotten up early and I left the door unlocked because
(05:40):
my best friend Jess was coming over with her family,
and I said, okay, you know, just whenever you guys
get here, She's like, we'll be there in the morning,
you know, come on in. The doors un locked. Well,
our dog, Manty, figured out how to get the front
door open. Now, Monty's a sneaky He's a sneaky I'm
not gonna lie. He he he gets out of anywhere.
(06:02):
This is a dog that I mean. If you were
in an escape room, you'd want this dog with you.
That was a bad reference. If you were locked in
a box, you'd want this dog with you. Worst reference.
We can get out of anything, rates Schollars. He's a magician.
Magical manty. But we now live in a house where
(06:24):
it's a steel door. You guys, it's steel. There is
no way he could chew out of it. He could
pry it open. This dog found a way to stand up,
push the latch of the steel door inward, open it
and get out. I mean, America's got talent. Monty David
(06:46):
Copperfield pull Monty. Yeah, he got out, and a woman
brought him back. And all of a sudden, I hear hello, Hello, Hello,
and I'm like, what's that. It doesn't sound like Jess, Jess,
Jess Hello. And then I hear someone coming up the stairs.
(07:08):
This woman comes into our bedroom and she's like and
I was like, oh my god. And she's like, oh, oh,
I could I think there were dead bodies in here?
Like what what are you talking about? And she goes,
I came and I didn't hear anyone and the house
he's referring to, how messy and organize my houses. The
(07:31):
thing died and been in here and there were dead bodies.
Why she went immediately to dead bodies, I don't know.
And I was like, oh, yeah, we just moved two
months ago. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just I'm a hoarder. No, yeah,
it didn't get better. But she stood there and she
(07:51):
was like, your dog was out. I was like, yeah,
I'm sorry, my friends are coming over, and she goes, oh.
I was just so worried about him. I was so concerned,
and then I just pushed and like the door just
came open, and I was like, yeah, I know, I
know that's a thing anyway, So I would have offered
her a red Bull, sugar free red Bull, but it
was my lust one. So I'll just say goodbye and
(08:12):
think dr and center on her way. So my summer's
growing up were pretty different than the summers my kids
and I have. I would say, yeah, so my dad
didn't fly. People always think like, oh my gosh, you
grew up parent's Spelling's daughter. You guys were so wealthy,
like you must have just taken these lavish trips around
the world, and I'm like, they were lavish. They weren't
(08:34):
around the world though. So every summer growing up we
would go to Vegas Rando. I know, keep in mind,
you guys Vegas super kid friendly now, like I'm talking
about you know, like the eighties, you guys, like it
was not kid friendly. But we would. I mean, I
(08:55):
feel like the only thing they had there that was
kid friendly was Circus Circus. Even that was borderline, you
know what I mean, But there was Yeah, there was
nothing for kids to do because it wasn't kid place,
you know. But we would go every summer because we
could drive and my dad didn't fly. So we would
go to Vegas and we would go to a iconic
(09:18):
historical landmark of a Vegas hotel that you know, the
rat Pack went to. It was called Desert Inn. It
is unfortunately not there any longer, but we would always
get We would get like the Penthouse and there were
two Penthouse suites and it was this beautiful, amazing high
(09:39):
end resort and we would have the Penthouse suite and
we would like literally we would go in. This is
interesting because we would go in an RV. Huh, and
you know, we would like watch movies in the back.
And you know, my parents didn't drive. My mom actually flew,
she was she would fly there and us there and
(10:00):
my dad and our nanny and my brother and security
and assistant. We would all be in the RV and
you know, it's like a five hour drive. It was
super fun, super exciting, and we would get there and
we would stay for like a month, literally stay in
Vegas for a month, and we would travel with because
(10:22):
my godfather was Dean Martin and my dad was best
friends with Sammy Davis Junior, the whole gang, so we
would always kind of coordinate it when they were also
performing in Vegas and would have like what I guess
you guys would now call a residency. I think it
wasn't called that then, but it would be their performing
and Sammy Davis Junior and his wife Paltavi's and their
(10:46):
kids and family grandkids, like, they would all come and
we would have the whole floor and we would be
half and they would be half, so we could go
like in and out and Uncle Sammy would be playing
and we would get to go and it was super
exciting to get to see his show and we would
hang out and we would go to the pool. But
my mom always was worried that, like my dad also
(11:09):
sorry miss whole Point, also was filming a show called
Vegas that they also filmed at the Desert in and
so my dad was a workaholic, so you know, it
was like a twofer forum, right, he got to be
there and be present to produce a show, and he
also got to have family vacation. So my mom was
(11:31):
always like, Okay, I gotta find stuff for the kids
to do. So one night she was like, literally, oh
my gosh, you guys, sorry, there was like yellow pages
back then. I'm really dating myself here. Oh my gosh.
When you were young, they didn't even have booster seats
and restaurants they would like bring out stacks of yellow
Pages for kids to sit on in the booths. So
(11:51):
my mom would try to find things for us to do,
and she would look into the yellow Pages and she
would like have like notes of like Okay, I have
to call here and do this. So she found a
place called the Chicken Ranch, and she was super excited
because we loved animals, and she was like, oh, this
will be a great like daytime thing like Aaron filming
my dad. And she's like, I can take the kids
(12:15):
and go to the chicken Ranch. So she called and
this woman's like hello, and she's like, Hi, I'm just
calling to inquire about your chicken ranch. And I was
thinking of bringing my children tomorrow and the woman was like,
oh honey. She goes, hmmm, I don't think this is
(12:37):
a place for children. So anyway, it's basically it was
a whorehouse. Did you guys know that they used to
call it a chicken ranch? I did coorehouse. No, that's
not right. I'm Jolly Parton. Wait and Burt Reynolds Fessel
whorehouse in Texas. Oh yeah, so it was like one
of those was a brothel. What do they call them?
(12:58):
A house of ill repute? Ooh, you sound smart. Oh,
I'd like to try to say that. So it was
the house of ill repute for pute ill repute. Anyway,
they were laying there, but not eggs. So it was like, yeah,
so we didn't go to the chicken ranch. Imagine my
(13:18):
mom loves to still tell that story. Like imagine if
she hadn't called and just like showed up, We're like
we're here. We're like pull up and are like extend
it long like White Limo from the eighties, and we're like, oh,
here we go. So that one didn't work out, but
she was always like trying to find fun stuff for
us to do. And it was really cool because I
(13:40):
remember one of those days when I was young and
Uncle Sammy Davis Junior, he had his show that night,
and he was like, you're here, I want to show
you something. So he took me and he had this
giant suitcase because he would bring this for his fans,
and he had all of his like original old tap
(14:02):
because he would tap dance, So the taps he would
have them, and once they were used, he would always
keep them. He notoriously like kept them and he would
have them put on bolo ties. Yeah, and he gave
me one and he was like, you know, we've kind
of made new ones to give you know, as I
(14:23):
guess merch back then, but he had the original one
that was the sample to meet them, and he gave
it to me. It was something that was really really
spiritual to me that I had had my entire life
until he passed away. And when he passed away, my
dad was really sad because he had lost his best friend.
And I went to my drawer in my room where
(14:46):
I kept it, and I gave it to my dad.
My dad passed. Now I don't know where that is.
I should find that. And then Phyllis Diller, who was
a ginormous comedian back in the day. First of all,
she would super funny, super kooky, I feel like she
like Maribou, Like she would wear it on her head
(15:06):
and like she like I don't know, she just had
crazy style. But I don't even know. It's probably not
a little known fact. She was like one of the guys,
like there was the rat Pack and then like Philip Stiller,
like hung she was like the girl. She was like
a chick. Like they loved her and she would just
like always be with them and be like like super cool.
(15:29):
So she would have like these like really cool dinner
parties in Vegas. It was like kind of like Palm Springs,
like that's what her house looked like, like very it
was very cool, and I got to go and see
it from the sidelines. I think that's why a lot
of the way she was influenced me to be able
to be funny and you'd be smart and be loud
(15:52):
and still be cute. And I look back and I'm like, wow,
she was around like her like she was around like
some mega men, you know, like mega iconic mail, power
and energy, and she like brought it. So I have
(16:21):
so many Vegas memories of my childhood that oh my gosh,
and then I have stories, Oh gosh, I have a
lot of summer stories growing up. So we're gonna have
to make this a part two, part three, part four.
Oh my god, there could be like twenty that. These
are some cold stories. Anyway, So Sigfried and Roy. We
(16:42):
got to go to see Sigfrey and Roy at the
time the biggest like magician duo in the world. No
in Vegas. They were like very out there, correct, like
they were partners in real life, which I think people
didn't know it first, but because it was the eighties,
(17:03):
like it was kind of like and I feel like
they were flashy but still like trying to like, oh
woo the women in the crowd, you know, so it
was like, oh my gosh, those tans. They had some
great tans. There was the Blotten one, the Brunette one,
Roy which one was Roy Brunette. Correct. Anyway, got to
see the show like everybody else. Very cool. But then
(17:26):
they said to my dad, oh, you should bring the
kids over this weekend, and we were like cool, but
not you guys. No one can appreciate this shit. When
you're like, you know, eight ten, like you're like cool, great, okay,
guess I'll go whatever, And then you look back and
(17:47):
you're like oh my god, like no, and you look
back you're like wow, like falls. I went to Stick
Freedom Roy's house, like I got a tour. I got
to go behind the scenes, to go into pool with them.
They took the tigers and lions and tigers and bears
were no bears. It just went with it in the
(18:07):
pool and to do all that stuff. Yeah, and then
wait what one got eaten by the tiger? Raid? Attacked, attacked,
not eaten. That sounded more Dreman. There were some good
looking men. It was you know what it was. It
was like David Copperfield mixed with like magic Mic mixed
(18:33):
with like Freddie Mercury. It was like wild. Their whole
appearance thing did I kind of put that all together
and they were just like true entertainers, which was really
cool anyway. So yeah, I got to go to uh
their house and see the behind the scenes and go
in the pool with Sayfree and Roy and their animals.
(18:54):
Did you do an episode of Vegas while you were there?
I did so. My very first appearance on camera was
on my dad's show Vegas, and it did happen while
we were there. One summer I was five and I
got Robert Errick. I got to be like Uncle Dan,
and I think I even did that Hi Uncle Dan.
(19:15):
I just went like the aw shucks move anyway. I
was really nervous and like all dolled up and like
ready to go. And they were like, okay, when we
call it action, you know, you just walk through the
door and go hi Uncle Dan. And I walked through
the door and I went Uncle Dan and they were like,
(19:37):
but wow, that was great. And my dad came over
and he's like, he used to call me Toto because
when I was little, I couldn't say toy, so he'd
be like, what's your name? I would go Toto. So
he always called me Toto. And now when I tell
people that, they're like total, like the band, total, like
(19:57):
the dog, and I'm like, thanks, snow ho toe to
o t o capital T lowercase oh, capital T lowercase oh.
So he'd be like, Toto, that wasn't just perfect, that
was plu perfect. And that became a running thing with
my dad and I that whenever I had, you know,
auditions or anything throughout my you know, young career, and
(20:21):
he would read with me. He'd be like, we'd go
through it and then he'd give me direction, we read
it again and he would be like, that was plu perfect.
Or when I was doing a play. I did a
lot of theater in school, I was a plu perfect
when he would see a performance, and that was like.
Even I, being his daughter, knew he was like mega,
(20:43):
and I was like wow. I just thought it was
the seal of approval. Maybe it wasn't because he was mega,
because he was just my dad, and it just felt
really good that he enjoyed my performance. I think it
was that, but I knew it was a big deal. Anyway.
He was like one take toy. So that became thing.
One take toy. So now even when I film stuff,
(21:04):
I have that in my head and I'm like, get
it on the first taken, on the first take, you know,
because I'm very competitive and I'm like I got to
show my own self up. And I'm like yeah. And
so if I do one take and you know, the
director's like, yes, we got it, I'm like, yeah, you
sure did one take Tory. I say that in my head,
I would never say it out loud because I have
no confidence. So yeah, that was my first appearance on
(21:27):
screen in Vegas. So then my mom like always wanted
us to have not just things to do during the day,
but also in the evening as well. So at the time,
(21:49):
I don't know if it's still the same because now
it's more family friendly. Shows. They would always, like at
different hotels, would have acts, and they'd have different types
of shows, and they would have like, you know, the
seven pm show and the nine pm show. So it
would be in Vegas, they would have like variety shows
and it would be like, you know, a magician would
(22:11):
come out, and then they would have like an animal
act with like performing poodles on stools, and then you know,
like you know, different things and in between, and then
like a music act. But in between they would always
have the dancers come out and do their like showgirl,
like her name is Lola, She's a showgirl, you know
(22:35):
that thing and that I was fascinated. But the difference
between the seven pm show and the nine pm show
is they are fully covered for like the seven pm
show and family can come, and then the nine pm
show they're hopless. So at nighttime, my parents would go
out and do their thing, but they would send us
(22:57):
to these shows and would go with our nanny and
the driver. They were really fun, but it was like,
you know, you get your two dreams. And I remember
I was introduced to Pink Lady's Virgin of course, which
was like, I don't know, it's like the pink drink
now at Starbucks Hello, But it was like in the eighties,
(23:18):
so basically, and I'm not sure what the alcoholic version
has in it, but it would be blended with marachino
cherry on top and you get too and you get
it throughout the show and then they come around and
they would always take like the family photo at your
big like it was old school, like red leather boots
(23:39):
and all these hotels in the showrooms, showrooms, theaters, whatever,
and I have I just found them the other day.
I have no joke because they make like they would make.
It would be like Caesar's Palace and you open it
up and it's like almost like driver's license size, you know,
(24:00):
pictures insides like a little thing you unfold. And I
found one from every single hotel and it's like a
family photo me, my brother, our nanny, my parents, driver
and security guard. We're like geez, no, think says rich
kids like this from every defunct hotel, like they're all
(24:23):
gone now. But so anyway, but I do remember going
one time there was some screw up and we went
and somehow we were in the topless show and I
was just I mean, I was blown. I was obsessed.
(24:43):
Like I was just like whoopies whoa like it was
you know, yeah, I just I just remember my nanny
being like, oh, well we're here. You know, she'd probably
like already had like her like second whiskey se hour
or something, and she was like shu. But that was
a fun experience. And I was like, when I'm mint
(25:05):
a half boobs like that, they're gonna be botched up
and done. The strom should be thought the whole thing.
Could I didn't get into the seven PM show, have
got my og tips. And then one summer in Vegas,
we would be at the Desert inn That's where we
stayed every summer, and we would get to like walk
the lakes and they had this expansive property with you know,
(25:28):
golf and beautiful full property. And I remember one day
that all of like the pool boys. Can you say
that pool boys cabana boys cool hotties? I don't know.
They were always so cute and like in college and
you'd be like so cute. So one day we had
(25:48):
just gotten there and they were like, welcome to expelling family,
and we're like, hey, we haven't seen you since last summer.
And I was a year older and I'm like, oh,
it doesn't think I'm cute now. I was six and
then I'm just kidding. No, I feel like I was
like ten when this happened, this experience. He was like, oh,
do you want to see something? And he showed me.
(26:11):
They had a box full of duck and he was like,
look with all these old baby ducks and I guess
the mom had somehow abandoned these old baby ducks. And
they had all these little fuzzy ducklings in a box
and they were like, oh, you know, we're gonna call someone.
They're gonna come and get them. And I was like,
(26:31):
oh my gosh, I love them. And so I was
holding one and he was like, wink wang, you can
take one if you want, and I was like can.
I I mean we were there for a month, so
it wasn't like I was gonna, you know, just have
it for the night or something. So I took a
baby duckling and I snuck it up to our penthouse
(26:56):
suite and I had it in our bathtub. So by
like the second day and my parents found out and
they were cool about it, and by the second day
that duck was following me all over. But then a
month then we had to go home. But I was like,
oh my god, gosh, we have to take my duck
home with us, and my parents decided that was not
(27:21):
the right thing to do, and so I was devastated
and really sad. And the day we were leaving, I
had to go and put the duck back in, which
they encouraged that because they said there's other ducks here
and it'll make friends and it has this great lifestyle
and I was like, yeah, it totally does. I mean
(27:43):
being back at the manor and bell Air would have
been a great lifestyle too. Anyway, so we went to
do the drop off, so I say goodbye and I'm
crying and I'm like, oh, always love you, and put
the duck into the pond, and then we were told, like,
you have to like walk away because the one follow right,
(28:05):
So we put her in the pond like the man
made water form on this property and ran, like every
good mother does, like why sea, So ran and hid
behind a tree and this duck was like all over
the pond and I was just gutted. So then we
(28:28):
walked the way around and it was like, okay, you
know those movies in slow motion, like an end where
they find each other again and they like run and
they're like running through New York City through the subway
or like you know, and it's just like, yes, we're
meant to be together, and they slow mow it so
(28:48):
way across and it was ginormous. She saw me and
she was at the other end, and this little thing
she goes and she height failed it. I think her
like little legs were like out of the water across
the pond and she found me, and I was like,
(29:08):
oh my gosh, Yeah, let's end my story. I had
to lever. It wouldn't let me take her home. And
then the next summer when we came back, I was
looking at every adult duck and the ones that didn't
have kids because she probably abandonment issues, and was like,
I'm not having kids after this experience. But I never
saw her again, but I'm sure she had a very nice,
(29:30):
nice life. Yeah. I had a lot of experiences in Vegas,
but I had a first, very momentous experience in Vegas
that I'll never quite forget. So when I was fourteen,
I got my period for the first time in Vegas.
And I was there during the summer and all my
(29:56):
friends had gotten their period, and I was like, oh gosh.
And I was like, oh, I guess I'm a light blumer.
And then uh, I got it and my mom was like,
have some, you know, and I was like not awesome,
Like we're gonna go to the pool, like, oh my gosh,
like I had. And I had the cutest teeniest bikini,
(30:20):
teeny weeny bikini. Because I was like super smart, I
would take my bathing suits. Maybe it wasn't smart obviously,
I'm just a hoarder and never give it anything away.
So I would have my bathing suits like leftover from
when I was like nine ten. And then when you're fourteen,
(30:40):
you're starting to fill out and everything and your parents
won't get you like a bikini. That's like you're like, oh,
I want to hang with my friends and like dress
like this now. So I would just wear like a tiny,
tiny bikini. So I had it all picked out. My
friend went with us to Vegas. It was gold. It
was phenomenal. Oh, God, I love good mentalic. And we
(31:01):
were all prepped for the pool and then it came
so I got my period. My mom's like great. And
then the next thing I knew, like my dad came
in and I could still visualize like in it was
like double beds and like in our room and I
had a friend there and she was like okay, ready
to go to the pool. And I was like what
am I going to do? And my dad came in.
(31:24):
He was like big hugs. Mom told me the good news.
You're a woman today, and I was like, Dad, oh my,
that's so embarrassing. Thank you. But I prefer to be
called a girl. Still to this day, I like to
be called a girl. Don't ever call me a woman.
It's a choice anyway. So when that happened, my mom
(31:48):
was like, okay, we have to get you something. We
have to get you, you know, feminine products for this.
And I was like okay. My friend was like, oh great,
you know we're a tampon. You could still go to
the pool, Like I don't know if you can go
in the pool like whatever, but you can go down
lay by the pool. And so I said to my mom, Okay,
(32:09):
so we will get tampons. You'll teach me how to
use a tampon. And my mom was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
no tampons. And I was like, oh, what do I do?
And I was like a prac oh and then she
was like she was like, well I had when I
was a girl. This happened and my mom got this
(32:31):
for me, a belt, And I was like, what, what's
a belt? I'm not kidding you, guys. I don't even
know if they make this anymore. It was like archaic
even like when my mom recommended it. But it's basically
like a snap on, Like it's like a snap on
(32:54):
elastic belt that you wear around your waist and it
holds the pad. I mean, and it's not just a pad,
it's like a MerCad. I mean. It was like the
fluffiest thing I've ever seen. It was like, shoot, it
was a diaper. It was a goddamn fucking diaper. It
(33:15):
was a motherfucking diaper. I was wearing a diaper around
my waist and it was, yeah, an elastic band. It
was like you couldn't cover it up. The oddest part
is I don't even know how she found it, but
she sent her driver out to scour for what, I
(33:38):
don't know, pharmacies, drugstores, like it was a mail driver.
Ceminine diaper with a strap on belt did sound good
anyway you put me. But he found it. He found it,
like this is something my mom had when she was
a you know, a teen, and like her mom recommended it.
(33:59):
Like I don't even know how at my age at fourteen,
even in the eighties, like they even meet these still,
But he found it, and he got it and brought
it back and I was just wearing it. My friend
was like hysterically laughing at me, and I was hysterically
crying because I was like, oh my god, what am
(34:20):
I gonna do? It didn't matter if I even turned
that damn bathing suit around and had like the butt
part in the front. You couldn't cover this thing. And
it looked like I had a penis, Like it was
like a ginormous I was packing some meat and balls
down there. And then I had like this big slip
on thing around my waist, almost like a chastity belt
(34:44):
but for teens with her period, Like oh my gosh,
I mean it's actually a good tool because like no
guy would ever want to go near a girl wearing that,
so like anyway to put this on? And then I
was like, okay, I can't go to the pool in this.
I can't go anywhere in this. I can't even move
(35:07):
in this was it was a good it was a
good cushion. It was like, all right, it was a diaper.
And so my friend went to the pool with the
rest of my family and I couldn't go down to
the pool. In fact, I couldn't wear anything. Couldn't or
shorts like I think, I like put on head to
chose sweats and it was like one hundred and twenty
(35:28):
degrees out to cover this belted cad starctic belted pad.
But it was It did turn into a really really
amazing day because the hotel. Now at this time I
was older and we were staying at MGM Grand and
they had a little movie theater inside, like this old
(35:50):
fashioned movie theater that only showed black and white films.
And my mom was like, okay, well, they're all at
the pool and and you're decked in your like it's
like a padded suit. Like she was like, let's stay
in the air and do something. I was like, the god,
(36:12):
I'm wearing sweats, and she took me to the movie
there and the movie. I'll never forget this because I
was fourteen and she took me to a black and
white movie and it was the movie Gaslighting. Yep. Not
only that day did I get like the fear of
ever getting my period again, but I also got a
(36:35):
new fear of being gas lits. So yeah, pads and gaslighting.
What a fun Vegas experience. But I'll never forget it.
I didn't go in the pool for like a week. Yeah, well,
I got clever, so I would sneak into my parents'
(36:56):
room and take my dad's razor and I would uh
di y my padded belt, so I would like shave
the pad down, and then you know they forgot about it.
So yeah, then and then I would just like stick
wats of twitter paper up there and call it a
day and be like, pool down, let's go. Never forget that.
(37:18):
My dad was like, congratulations, you're a woman today. That
I had a diper on for seven days. And so
as they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
But hey, at least I can now chant Donna Martin
men Streets Vegas. Baby,
