Tori Spelling continues her candid conversation with Gypsy Rose Blanchard in part two of their sit-down.
Gypsy’s off parole, moving in with her man, and maybe dropping a cookbook (Gypsy’s Treats, anyone?). They discuss why her first marriage ended, if she wants to get married again, and what REALLY went down behind the scenes of the movie “The Act”—yes, she’s seen it (kind of), and no, they didn’t get her story right.
Listen now. You know you’re curious.

Speaker 3 (01:41):

Speaker 1 (01:44):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
My dad said that it came from guns and roses,
like he was a bag guns of roses fan. I
have no idea of the reference. I don't know either,
That's what my dad says.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
So I owe you an ice bucket challenge?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I do because Gypsy and I talked about it on
an d M and I was like nervous to ask her,
but I was like, here goes nothing. I was like,
tell Christy, I'll do the ice bucket challenge if you
come on my podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
She's like, okay, she showed do I do it? You know?
I mean there's a reason why.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I had asked you because I'm dyslexic and y'all were
the first oh that I've seen that had someone a
student with dyslexia, and it touched home for.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Me, so thank you. I wish they had gone further
with that storyline.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's rough, you know, growing up with it. It's hard.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
When I did it when I was God, I was young,
so I was like seventeen when I did it. I
don't think I understood the magnitude of dyslexia and how
it can impact and make you feel amongst your peers,
especially when you're a teenager.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's only now that I'm looking.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Back, I'm like, oh my gosh, that was a big
one because everyone always focuses with my character Johnna Martin
on Beverly Hills and about Donna drink and like almost
didn't graduate and got kicked out of prom, but no
one ever goes back to dyslexia. So I'm always excited
when fans come up and say thank you. That was impactful.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I mean I didn't have much screaming my names and graduate,
but if they did make, you know, sign a card.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Congratulating me, you know, for graduating. Yeah, I mean, it's
it's rough.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I went to therapy every friday from like fifth grade
to ninth grade to retrain my brain because it was
with saul On was no numbers reversed algebra.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh, I bet that's where I was. I bet math
was terrible.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Math was terrible. It was hard, maths terrible for everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Was my least favorite subject.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Wait, so Aurora gets to go out with you for
the first time.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, world, no, for I'm keeping her.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She is taking.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I wish I could have her authority and you could leave.
She could. She's she's I'm a watcher.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So Aurora is gonna call her law. So she's not
going to my grandma. She's going by Lolly, and so
Lollly is gonna watch her while mommy and daddy haven't
dined out with friends.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Right, where does lolly come from?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I just thought of my grandfathers were called pop, So
I was like, we're gonna call Rod pop and lollipop
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh you know that's adorable. Yeah. So I mean, like
my mom, they'll call her gig, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So it's like I'm too young to be a grandmother
called mama granny.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So that's where it really comes from.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Right. But I mean, look, I hold her and I'm
like Lolly, Lolly lo. I'm like, I'm determined for her to.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Say it, and she we swear she did. Like twice
she said.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Dada, like a day before Father's Day. Stop and I
was over the moon. And I'm like I kept looking
at the video again and again and again. I'm like,
oh my god, she really said it was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Mom right.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's wild and you'll see once you have more kids,
it's very different. They're all unique and what they accomplish
at what times. And yeah, my firstborn said.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Dad, dad first, and I was like, oh, crushed. We
carry them.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I was like, yeah, we're the ones looking up at
the you know, all hours of the night, bottle feeding
or breastfeeding.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
But she gets her mommy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She lose.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Then when you get your second, you're like please, you know,
I don't want to be two and oh so it's
like yeah, my second said mama, and I was like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So it is possible for them to say.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It changes everything each of them do. That's what's so amazing.
I mean, you were an only child, but like growing
like I don't know, it's just there's so much that
they do differently and so much they do alike. That's
just wildly fascinating to watch each of them grow and
be unique. So you're gonna go out with Ken for
(07:17):
mom and dad night out. Yes, she's going to have
her first drink.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, I know. I'm very excited for her. I wish
I could be there with her.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Me too, because you know, Ken might have to over
her hair back or hairy hairback or something you know
later that evening.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But you know, but I think or she might have
to hold his what do you mean he has nine?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Girl? But shave it all.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think she's like a sweet and fruity drink girl.
That's what I am alike.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like I told her whiskey sour.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, that would be I'm I knew it is on
the record a video of me doing the whiskey sour
just for you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Do it taste? I drop it? Okay, okay? Perfect? Oh
my gosh. I think I think she's gonna like it.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
She likes sour patch kids, right, they can get they
can get dangerous because they taste like you're not drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Right, that's like a Long Island iced tea or a
Hawaiian punch you think you drink.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And yeah, I got those. Got me in trouble with
your thoughts? Yeah, yeah, I wonder what you feel like
on tequila?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh my God to tell us when you like go
away for the first time on vacation, like you and know,
okay do that?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Okay, but no, when I ask about you going out
with Aurora, I mean like, okay, so you'll go out
with Ken first, but then your first outing, Like what
will that be like, so you're not allowed to go
to her doctor visits or oh no, I am.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Like yeah, yeah, so I you know, usually it's me
and Christy that take her visits and stuff like that.
We have like Ken and I have been out in
the public with her before.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh I'm sorry, educate me. So you're allowed to go
out within your town. There's certain limits what you can
do anywhere?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Okay anywhere?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, So so parole the only limitations that parole. It's
very different than it's like I could leave the state
with my parole officers permission, I just need two weeks
in advance. Like the last six months, Aurora and I
have been going back and forth between Ken's house in
(09:35):
New Orleans and my home here with my parents, and
so it's like we've been kind of ping ponging back
and forth. But now this week I can move in
with Ken and we could be a full time family
and being off of parole, we can go on vacation anywhere,
have no restrictions. So next month, but we are going
(09:56):
on vacation and I cannot wait. We're going to beach.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
We stay where now?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, we're it'll be me, Aurora, Ken, dadd and Christie.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It is in the US. There.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You don't show the emulator. Okay, let us know some
good spots. Oh, I'm sure you've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
One might be wrong, thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Oh, I think I know where you're going next month?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Next time?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, we might go. Okay, well we'll talk later on
each other. When are you and Ken getting married?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know. Like on the show he went bring shopping,
but he hasn't told me if he like got a
ring or if he didn't get a ring, Like he's
been so big about it and so like parties hoping
that maybe we're on vacation. But I know, but you
guys want that right, yes, Like I know that he
(11:10):
has already talked to my dad and gotten my dad's blessing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, I talked to that about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I was like, I don't know, fossil sub no. I
just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I just didn't know if you had hesitations having been
married and divorced.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There is there is love of her life.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
There is a big difference. It's like, you know what
I what I learned in my first marriage is that,
you know, I understand that there's going to be times
that you know, will be kind of dull, and it's
it's not so much about staying in the honeymoon phase.
It's about, you know, looking at the relationship in its
(11:58):
entirety as hey, this step family. We have to look
at it as if there's no no out, you know,
in this relationship. We have a child together, so it's
like we have a family, We have that love. We
have stood through thick and thin of this last year
and a half of going through so much. So I
(12:21):
think we have what it takes now. It's just kind
of about, you know, realizing what we need to do
to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, she has a good support system and he does too.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
He does so he seems great. Do you think if
there had never been a Ken, he would have stayed
with Brian.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I don't think so. I think that Ken was the
catalyst that helped me create my decision. Ken was the
catalyst that helped me to give me the courage to,
you know, say, hey, this relationship, this marriage is not
it's not where my heart is. And I don't know
(13:05):
how long it would have taken me to pluck up
the courage had it not been for Ken. But at
the end of the day, I still would see myself
ending the marriage regardless.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Got it.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Would you ever do obviously reality like you've got a
docuseries and documentary, but would you ever do like a
competition reality show like to you know, I always seeing
her dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
What would you do?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I don't know. I mean that's the thing. I feel
like I'm not talented with anything. I can't sing, I
can't dance.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But maybe Gypsy Christy is she talented or anything?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
She she got some moves, got personality for yeah, I
got personality.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean she I think. I mean, look, she's not
the greatest thing. Okay, and neither in lie, but.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I was tone deaf. I went on mass singer.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I know I watched that season that you were on,
and I think she would be like screwed.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know, I'm just gonna go and have fun.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Right right, I do it just to have fun.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Which would you choose first.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Dance the Stars.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The Stars, I like.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Some of them that were on there and that couldn't
dance at all, right, just saying they've never approached you.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I mean I never put myself out there in
that way. Like I was always you know, trying to
you know, pick projects that focused on sharing my story.
So it's like I never kind of dove into reality
to be other than that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So well, she text the producer, go for it really.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Now, like, I mean they're starting this season, so I'm sure,
but next season? Yeah, on do you do you know
who Anna Delvy is?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The name sounds familiar, She to google her.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, very complicated past, different situation, but people either love
her or hate her for what she did and.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Correct, Okay, that's all I know. I'm like, all I
know is so so yeah, everyone was like.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
The preconceived notions about what someone did and whether you
agree with them or don't agree with them came into
play when I did Dancing with the Stars with her,
you know, everyone was like the noise, the outside noise,
which it's hard not to let that get to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
And and yeah, so anyway I met her, and I'm
like you know what, I'm just gonna go into this
innocent and accept her for who she is. We ended
up becoming good friends, Like we're still good front and
people are always like to this day, like, you know,
is that a good look that you're friends with Annadelby?
And I'm like yeah, because people's past are their past,
(16:10):
and it's like right, it's up to them to create
the future and we can't define their past by how
we feel about them.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I really like her, like yeah, so yeah, okay, so
you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Do Dancing with the Stars. It's a pass on mass singer.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Don't you love that you like to cook? You enjoy cooking.
I love cooking. I mean I know you love baking.
I think cooking first.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I used to watch your reality show with you and Dean,
Like I said, I'll watch everything that you've done. Maybe
I'll should get it together and cook something.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Do you have a cook cajun?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, but we can teach you.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Oh we need to make you. Have you make a gombo?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Gumbo not turtle soup, though I don't want to no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
None of that weird stuff, Like I he's like a gombo.
But Yeah, do you guys bake? I like to make.
I like to make cupcakes, not from we don't go
from scratch. I like to make them the box.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The boxes are good.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, made a career out of doing part you know,
already made and part homemade.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But she good icing, so everybody loves it. Yeah, I
in it.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Well not real extract extract. Oh I make a wine
cake again.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
The alcohol always cooking. It doesn't really count. But yeah, okay,
we'll have to. We'll have to. Okay, so we're gonna bake.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
We're gonna cook. This is going to be a fun
and fruitful relationship. I can already feel it. Did you
ever do voiceover work? You have such an engagement.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I would my sister.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
There's huge money in that, like if you can nail
that market.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Say though, when I recorded my book, that was the
most stressful process I think that I have ever underwent,
because it's like reading in studio. I realized that, you know,
you have to read exactly word for word how it
(18:27):
is printed in the book. And there's so many times
that we just kind of, you know, talk how we
want to talk, and sometimes the way we talk is
not grommatically correct. So I had to do line for
line again and again and again a good hundred one
hundred and fifty times, and I cussed so much in
the booth. I was in the booth for five days
(18:50):
and I cussed every bit of it away because I'm like,
this is so difficult. So I give mad props to
all the people that you know, do audio books for
a living.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's not easy. Was there video recording you doing this?
Even just the sounds? Wouldn't that be a fun blooper thing.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I'm sure my editor has it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
By the way, I've written books, and every book I did,
I had the same exact thing.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I'd say it wrong the line even.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Though I wrote it, I just got going same as
what you're saying and then I'd be like a fu
fuck and it was just like over. And no one
understands that process.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They're probably so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Used to it in the editing book. Yeah, I think
there was a good therapy for her, another form of
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Cathartic the words, but to say them out loud when
everything was like in order and just going through it.
It was emotional for her. But I was like, it's
a good form of therapy.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'm so proud to say it. It's almost real, more
real than when you just write it down. I understand that.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I have one last question.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah, sure, people have asked you this in the movie
the act, How did you feel about Joey King?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I think Okay, So I did not watch all of
the act. I watched probably about thirty minutes of it
when I got out. She watched it all. But I
think Joey King did an amazing job playing me. I
even dmmed her like last February January February, and I
told her, congratulations, I think you've got my stampard approval.
(20:43):
You did a wonderful job, and so that she respond yeah, yeah,
she said that, you know, she hoped that she portrayed
me to the fullest extent that she hoped, you know,
it met my approval. It was a huge undertaking, but
it was a great exchange, and I really like, I
really appreciate her courage for taking on such a complex
(21:08):
role in story.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So for her not visiting with Gipsy, you know you
normally meet it, yeah, think uh, because Michelle.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Dean didn't allow it. And that's the produce.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
One of the producers that's a whole story.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And but I even was like, Joey King nailed it,
you know, the voice and everything that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
She's going to visit you No, no, uh, there's a
lot behind uh the act that nobody talked about, and
that was you know, And essentially Hulu and the producers
stole my story and made a huge successful show out
(21:58):
of it. Didn't pay me, life rights, didn't come to
talk to me, didn't have any conversations to know what
was accurate what was not accurate. So to this day,
a lot of people are like, you know, they will
go off of the events that they've seen and the
details that they've seen on the act, and they are
(22:19):
incorrect because it was filler. It was filled in by producers.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Af sure, but that's a whole other story.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
But something like that. But essentially I spoke out from
behind bars and let them know I don't support this,
like this is wrong. You're taking a tragic event and
you are hollywooding in on up and now people when
they write me, they're confused because they don't know fact
(22:50):
from fiction. That's why I encourage So many times people
are like, I've never heard of you, you know, I
tell them go watch HBO documentary Mommy Teddy instead of
saying go watch the act, because you know, one is
factual and one is Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I mean the act was so over dramatic when there's
so much drama already.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And my life.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You know, it's like, why what did they over dramatize?
What didn't they over dramatize? Really some stuff. I just
tried to roll my head.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And it's been a while, but what I did, what
I did was in touch. I debunked the things that
were wrong, and yeah, I wasn't gonna allow them to
just say, yeah, this is how it is. No boot,
that's not how it was, you know, So I got
(23:43):
to say a lot of things, but it was you
know a lot of people are like the guinea pigs
from what we were told, because like I had guinea
pigs like I had, but I think Joey King was
allergic to cats.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's why they chose guinea pigs.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And they're like, oh she did leave them all at
else there wasn't any stilling.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Wait, sorry I heard that you didn't have guinea pigs.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I didn't have guinea pigs, no cats, So.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There was just like, what is that something they would know,
like who did they talk about? I think Joe was
allergic to cats.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh see, Michelle Deane had called Rod and I and
did a great article one of the story, and she
called us and was like, oh look, Hulu has reached out.
They really loved the article, you know, and we had
our conversations, and you know, she was like, I'm gonna
(24:40):
promise House anything they give me, I'm gonna cut it,
you know, down the line.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Just's gonna get half. And then she ghosted ghosted.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Then I was like, me and Gypsy had to talk
on the phone, and I reached out to her again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I was like, look, you.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Know, what you're doing is rome YadA, YadA, YadA, and and.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
She was like, well, I was the press. It takes
two seconds to say how you doing, you know or whatever.
And at that time I was so frustrated with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All because there was no promises, you know, like I
was like, can I have it in writing? And oh no,
I'm good, it'll you know, it'll be good. I'm gonna
give Gypsy half of what I made off of it,
and she didn't, so like she blocked me on everything.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah, but I was a little more ruthless witter,
you know, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I was pissed, to say the least.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And I was just in prison and didn't have control
over anything going on.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And that's why story she didn't want any of them
to talk to anybody they were playing, because they knew
I was going to say something, you know, out of sets,
you know, oh my hair talking. We know.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
She just wants to say she has at so good
she is. She's just looking at us and kicking away
in her little chair there and eating HER's.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Was there any portrayal of any character character to your life?
But you know me anyone in your life that it
was a character in the movie that they did get right?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Do you think no?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They got they got Aliyah all wrong. She was her
name was Lacy and the show they played her as
a disrespect to, you know, to her mom and everything,
and she's totally opposite, totally opposite of what they portrayed
her to be. I wasn't really in it so much
(26:56):
except for one scene.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But they get the story of Nicholas right at all.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Watch it pretty much, you know, I think there was
He was the only one that I think that I
saw was that Okay, there's not too much, you know,
to complain about. But then there were, and I felt
sorry for the actor because I'm like, oh, got it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do I just notice you? You? You know, they're making
you look like an idiot? Yea, there really are. I
mean I'm a blunt person and I just say it
like it is.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But you know, as far as you know, dedity, I
think they did really well. When Rod watched it, he
only watched about the same amount as her, and he
was like, is that Patricia Arch kid? And I was like, yeah,
He's like, oh my god, I'll never look at her
same again, because I mean they did. You know, she
(27:54):
didn't look nothing like herself.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right, I'm going to go.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
But it was so nice to me, so pleasure, meaning you.
I hope to meet you in person one day, but.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Let's make that happen. We will, all right. And I
have a very ice bucket challenge. I know, yes, I
can't wait to watch it. And it was my extensions. Okay,
it was cool.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
You really quick, you just hop in the hot shower,
you get really.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Agh.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's popular.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Go get really hot first outside and then it's gonna
feel do it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, I'm having to do a change.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's changed.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
But I mean after I watched probably about thirty minutes
of it, and I started to kind of be really
nitpeaky about, you know, the trailer of my Mom, and
I was just kind of like, she wouldn't have done that.
Notice that's not how she would have said it or
anything like that. So I feel like, because I lived
with my mom day in and day out, I definitely
(28:56):
was more critical of her portrayal of my mom. Then
then Joey's portrayl be.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
So if you had it to do over and you
were in control, who would you cast as you?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Honestly, I feel like Joey did a really good job.
I always thought maybe Millie Bobby Brown. I always liked her,
so I definitely, you know, I think that Joey though,
did a really good job. And I mean it's one
of those things. It's kind of like whenever you look
at a show or a film and you're like, I
can't see anybody else playing that character once you know,
(29:36):
once you see it the visual, you can't see anybody
else do it.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So I understand, well, thank you, go be with the Aurora.
The feet, don't you just love the feet? No?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It was so squeaky.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I used to just like sniff all my baby's feet
and like kiss them and like they're so soft. And
I always said I was going to like do something,
do craft. I craft a lot dy So I wanted
to do something with the baby's feet. And I said
this with every baby, and then of course all of
them got big, and now my eight year old his
(30:15):
feet are like huge, and I'm like, oh, I never
did anything with the baby feed like because you can't
get that back. And that's the thing, like you'll see
when she gets older. You missed the baby feet so much.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I know I want to get I have a few
tattoos on me, but I want to get something to
represent her. My cousin is a preessional tattoo artist and
he's done all my tattoos, so I want to get
something to represent her, and I was thinking maybe the feet.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Oh my gosh, I just found this insanely beautiful artistic
tattoo artists online. That's something totally different, but fine lines.
I'm toscended to you. I know you want your cousin
to do it, but this person is like I'm like,
oh my gosh, it's like getting the essence of the
person without like it being their face or it being
like their exact foot. It's like an outline she puts
(31:07):
into flowers kind of. It's really cool, like something i'd
be interested in. Yeah, I'd never seen it before, so.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, she would do it for you.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Okay, my friend, thank you for taking the time with
from your baby to do this. And I look forward
to that whiskey stour video doing the ice Bucket challenge.
We're going on vacation together. I mean, we have lots
to do in the future. I'm getting you on Dancing
with the Stars, although you can get yourself on Dancing
with the Stars, but I'm just going to advocate for you.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
We have lots to do.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Wait, oh my gosh. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
You have a whole life ahead of you, and you know,
things can only define you as much as you let
them define you. And it looks like you're really taking
that step towards making you your own world, with your
own man, with your own baby, and with your own
power inside. So thank you, so much, Thank you, and
(32:09):
I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
All right, have a good rest of your day, you too.

so much that like I feel like I like when
somebody else says that their name is Gypsy and like,
but I have Gypsy. It's just my name. But as
tags that I loathe my name. Other times I like it.
Depending on the day.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You know what you're going to start to see in
the next generation, You're going to meet people there to
say their name is Gypsy and they're gonna say, my
mom named me after you.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, Rose, I mean I like, I like you know,
my name is Gypsy Rose, So.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I like the rose part.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Where's your name come from?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
My dad said that it came from guns and roses,
like he was a bag guns of roses fan. I
have no idea of the reference. I don't know either,
That's what my dad says.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So that's so much.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
So I owe you an ice bucket challenge?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I do because Gypsy and I talked about it on
an d M and I was like nervous to ask her,
but I was like, here goes nothing. I was like,
tell Christy, I'll do the ice bucket challenge if you
come on my podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
She's like, okay, she showed do I do it? You know?
I mean there's a reason why.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I had asked you because I'm dyslexic and y'all were
the first oh that I've seen that had someone a
student with dyslexia, and it touched home for.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Me, so thank you. I wish they had gone further
with that storyline.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's rough, you know, growing up with it. It's hard.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
When I did it when I was God, I was young,
so I was like seventeen when I did it. I
don't think I understood the magnitude of dyslexia and how
it can impact and make you feel amongst your peers,
especially when you're a teenager.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's only now that I'm looking.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Back, I'm like, oh my gosh, that was a big
one because everyone always focuses with my character Johnna Martin
on Beverly Hills and about Donna drink and like almost
didn't graduate and got kicked out of prom, but no
one ever goes back to dyslexia. So I'm always excited
when fans come up and say thank you. That was impactful.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I mean I didn't have much screaming my names and graduate,
but if they did make, you know, sign a card.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Congratulating me, you know, for graduating. Yeah, I mean, it's
it's rough.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I went to therapy every friday from like fifth grade
to ninth grade to retrain my brain because it was
with saul On was no numbers reversed algebra.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh, I bet that's where I was. I bet math
was terrible.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Math was terrible. It was hard, maths terrible for everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Was my least favorite subject.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Wait, so Aurora gets to go out with you for
the first time.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, world, no, for I'm keeping her.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She is taking.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I wish I could have her authority and you could leave.
She could. She's she's I'm a watcher.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So Aurora is gonna call her law. So she's not
going to my grandma. She's going by Lolly, and so
Lollly is gonna watch her while mommy and daddy haven't
dined out with friends.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Right, where does lolly come from?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I just thought of my grandfathers were called pop, So
I was like, we're gonna call Rod pop and lollipop
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh you know that's adorable. Yeah. So I mean, like
my mom, they'll call her gig, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So it's like I'm too young to be a grandmother
called mama granny.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So that's where it really comes from.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Right. But I mean, look, I hold her and I'm
like Lolly, Lolly lo. I'm like, I'm determined for her to.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Say it, and she we swear she did. Like twice
she said.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Dada, like a day before Father's Day. Stop and I
was over the moon. And I'm like I kept looking
at the video again and again and again. I'm like,
oh my god, she really said it was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Mom right.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's wild and you'll see once you have more kids,
it's very different. They're all unique and what they accomplish
at what times. And yeah, my firstborn said.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Dad, dad first, and I was like, oh, crushed. We
carry them.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I was like, yeah, we're the ones looking up at
the you know, all hours of the night, bottle feeding
or breastfeeding.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
But she gets her mommy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She lose.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Then when you get your second, you're like please, you know,
I don't want to be two and oh so it's
like yeah, my second said mama, and I was like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So it is possible for them to say.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It changes everything each of them do. That's what's so amazing.
I mean, you were an only child, but like growing
like I don't know, it's just there's so much that
they do differently and so much they do alike. That's
just wildly fascinating to watch each of them grow and
be unique. So you're gonna go out with Ken for
(07:17):
mom and dad night out. Yes, she's going to have
her first drink.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, I know. I'm very excited for her. I wish
I could be there with her.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Me too, because you know, Ken might have to over
her hair back or hairy hairback or something you know
later that evening.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But you know, but I think or she might have
to hold his what do you mean he has nine?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Girl? But shave it all.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think she's like a sweet and fruity drink girl.
That's what I am alike.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like I told her whiskey sour.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, that would be I'm I knew it is on
the record a video of me doing the whiskey sour
just for you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Do it taste? I drop it? Okay, okay? Perfect? Oh
my gosh. I think I think she's gonna like it.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
She likes sour patch kids, right, they can get they
can get dangerous because they taste like you're not drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Right, that's like a Long Island iced tea or a
Hawaiian punch you think you drink.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And yeah, I got those. Got me in trouble with
your thoughts? Yeah, yeah, I wonder what you feel like
on tequila?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh my God to tell us when you like go
away for the first time on vacation, like you and know,
okay do that?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Okay, but no, when I ask about you going out
with Aurora, I mean like, okay, so you'll go out
with Ken first, but then your first outing, Like what
will that be like, so you're not allowed to go
to her doctor visits or oh no, I am.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Like yeah, yeah, so I you know, usually it's me
and Christy that take her visits and stuff like that.
We have like Ken and I have been out in
the public with her before.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh I'm sorry, educate me. So you're allowed to go
out within your town. There's certain limits what you can
do anywhere?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Okay anywhere?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, So so parole the only limitations that parole. It's
very different than it's like I could leave the state
with my parole officers permission, I just need two weeks
in advance. Like the last six months, Aurora and I
have been going back and forth between Ken's house in
(09:35):
New Orleans and my home here with my parents, and
so it's like we've been kind of ping ponging back
and forth. But now this week I can move in
with Ken and we could be a full time family
and being off of parole, we can go on vacation anywhere,
have no restrictions. So next month, but we are going
(09:56):
on vacation and I cannot wait. We're going to beach.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
We stay where now?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, we're it'll be me, Aurora, Ken, dadd and Christie.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It is in the US. There.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You don't show the emulator. Okay, let us know some
good spots. Oh, I'm sure you've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
One might be wrong, thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Oh, I think I know where you're going next month?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Next time?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, we might go. Okay, well we'll talk later on
each other. When are you and Ken getting married?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know. Like on the show he went bring shopping,
but he hasn't told me if he like got a
ring or if he didn't get a ring, Like he's
been so big about it and so like parties hoping
that maybe we're on vacation. But I know, but you
guys want that right, yes, Like I know that he
(11:10):
has already talked to my dad and gotten my dad's blessing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, I talked to that about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I was like, I don't know, fossil sub no. I
just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I just didn't know if you had hesitations having been
married and divorced.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There is there is love of her life.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
There is a big difference. It's like, you know what
I what I learned in my first marriage is that,
you know, I understand that there's going to be times
that you know, will be kind of dull, and it's
it's not so much about staying in the honeymoon phase.
It's about, you know, looking at the relationship in its
(11:58):
entirety as hey, this step family. We have to look
at it as if there's no no out, you know,
in this relationship. We have a child together, so it's
like we have a family, We have that love. We
have stood through thick and thin of this last year
and a half of going through so much. So I
(12:21):
think we have what it takes now. It's just kind
of about, you know, realizing what we need to do
to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, she has a good support system and he does too.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
He does so he seems great. Do you think if
there had never been a Ken, he would have stayed
with Brian.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I don't think so. I think that Ken was the
catalyst that helped me create my decision. Ken was the
catalyst that helped me to give me the courage to,
you know, say, hey, this relationship, this marriage is not
it's not where my heart is. And I don't know
(13:05):
how long it would have taken me to pluck up
the courage had it not been for Ken. But at
the end of the day, I still would see myself
ending the marriage regardless.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Got it.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Would you ever do obviously reality like you've got a
docuseries and documentary, but would you ever do like a
competition reality show like to you know, I always seeing
her dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
What would you do?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I don't know. I mean that's the thing. I feel
like I'm not talented with anything. I can't sing, I
can't dance.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But maybe Gypsy Christy is she talented or anything?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
She she got some moves, got personality for yeah, I
got personality.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean she I think. I mean, look, she's not
the greatest thing. Okay, and neither in lie, but.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I was tone deaf. I went on mass singer.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I know I watched that season that you were on,
and I think she would be like screwed.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know, I'm just gonna go and have fun.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Right right, I do it just to have fun.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Which would you choose first.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Dance the Stars.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The Stars, I like.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Some of them that were on there and that couldn't
dance at all, right, just saying they've never approached you.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I mean I never put myself out there in
that way. Like I was always you know, trying to
you know, pick projects that focused on sharing my story.
So it's like I never kind of dove into reality
to be other than that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So well, she text the producer, go for it really.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Now, like, I mean they're starting this season, so I'm sure,
but next season? Yeah, on do you do you know
who Anna Delvy is?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The name sounds familiar, She to google her.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, very complicated past, different situation, but people either love
her or hate her for what she did and.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Correct, Okay, that's all I know. I'm like, all I
know is so so yeah, everyone was like.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
The preconceived notions about what someone did and whether you
agree with them or don't agree with them came into
play when I did Dancing with the Stars with her,
you know, everyone was like the noise, the outside noise,
which it's hard not to let that get to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
And and yeah, so anyway I met her, and I'm
like you know what, I'm just gonna go into this
innocent and accept her for who she is. We ended
up becoming good friends, Like we're still good front and
people are always like to this day, like, you know,
is that a good look that you're friends with Annadelby?
And I'm like yeah, because people's past are their past,
(16:10):
and it's like right, it's up to them to create
the future and we can't define their past by how
we feel about them.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I really like her, like yeah, so yeah, okay, so
you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Do Dancing with the Stars. It's a pass on mass singer.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Don't you love that you like to cook? You enjoy cooking.
I love cooking. I mean I know you love baking.
I think cooking first.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I used to watch your reality show with you and Dean,
Like I said, I'll watch everything that you've done. Maybe
I'll should get it together and cook something.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Oh yeah, I love it.

we'll have to. We'll have to. Okay, so we're gonna bake.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
We're gonna cook. This is going to be a fun
and fruitful relationship. I can already feel it. Did you
ever do voiceover work? You have such an engagement.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I would my sister.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
There's huge money in that, like if you can nail
that market.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Say though, when I recorded my book, that was the
most stressful process I think that I have ever underwent,
because it's like reading in studio. I realized that, you know,
you have to read exactly word for word how it
(18:27):
is printed in the book. And there's so many times
that we just kind of, you know, talk how we
want to talk, and sometimes the way we talk is
not grommatically correct. So I had to do line for
line again and again and again a good hundred one
hundred and fifty times, and I cussed so much in
the booth. I was in the booth for five days
(18:50):
and I cussed every bit of it away because I'm like,
this is so difficult. So I give mad props to
all the people that you know, do audio books for
a living.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's not easy. Was there video recording you doing this?
Even just the sounds? Wouldn't that be a fun blooper thing.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I'm sure my editor has it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
By the way, I've written books, and every book I did,
I had the same exact thing.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I'd say it wrong the line even.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Though I wrote it, I just got going same as
what you're saying and then I'd be like a fu
fuck and it was just like over. And no one
understands that process.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They're probably so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Used to it in the editing book. Yeah, I think
there was a good therapy for her, another form of
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Cathartic the words, but to say them out loud when
everything was like in order and just going through it.
It was emotional for her. But I was like, it's
a good form of therapy.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'm so proud to say it. It's almost real, more
real than when you just write it down. I understand that.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I have one last question.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah, sure, people have asked you this in the movie
the act, How did you feel about Joey King?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I think Okay, So I did not watch all of
the act. I watched probably about thirty minutes of it
when I got out. She watched it all. But I
think Joey King did an amazing job playing me. I
even dmmed her like last February January February, and I
told her, congratulations, I think you've got my stampard approval.
(20:43):
You did a wonderful job, and so that she respond yeah, yeah,
she said that, you know, she hoped that she portrayed
me to the fullest extent that she hoped, you know,
it met my approval. It was a huge undertaking, but
it was a great exchange, and I really like, I
really appreciate her courage for taking on such a complex
(21:08):
role in story.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So for her not visiting with Gipsy, you know you
normally meet it, yeah, think uh, because Michelle.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Dean didn't allow it. And that's the produce.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
One of the producers that's a whole story.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And but I even was like, Joey King nailed it,
you know, the voice and everything that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
She's going to visit you No, no, uh, there's a
lot behind uh the act that nobody talked about, and
that was you know, And essentially Hulu and the producers
stole my story and made a huge successful show out
(21:58):
of it. Didn't pay me, life rights, didn't come to
talk to me, didn't have any conversations to know what
was accurate what was not accurate. So to this day,
a lot of people are like, you know, they will
go off of the events that they've seen and the
details that they've seen on the act, and they are
(22:19):
incorrect because it was filler. It was filled in by producers.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Af sure, but that's a whole other story.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
But something like that. But essentially I spoke out from
behind bars and let them know I don't support this,
like this is wrong. You're taking a tragic event and
you are hollywooding in on up and now people when
they write me, they're confused because they don't know fact
(22:50):
from fiction. That's why I encourage So many times people
are like, I've never heard of you, you know, I
tell them go watch HBO documentary Mommy Teddy instead of
saying go watch the act, because you know, one is
factual and one is Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I mean the act was so over dramatic when there's
so much drama already.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And my life.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You know, it's like, why what did they over dramatize?
What didn't they over dramatize? Really some stuff. I just
tried to roll my head.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And it's been a while, but what I did, what
I did was in touch. I debunked the things that
were wrong, and yeah, I wasn't gonna allow them to
just say, yeah, this is how it is. No boot,
that's not how it was, you know, So I got
(23:43):
to say a lot of things, but it was you
know a lot of people are like the guinea pigs
from what we were told, because like I had guinea
pigs like I had, but I think Joey King was
allergic to cats.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's why they chose guinea pigs.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And they're like, oh she did leave them all at
else there wasn't any stilling.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Wait, sorry I heard that you didn't have guinea pigs.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I didn't have guinea pigs, no cats, So.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There was just like, what is that something they would know,
like who did they talk about? I think Joe was
allergic to cats.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh see, Michelle Deane had called Rod and I and
did a great article one of the story, and she
called us and was like, oh look, Hulu has reached out.
They really loved the article, you know, and we had
our conversations, and you know, she was like, I'm gonna
(24:40):
promise House anything they give me, I'm gonna cut it,
you know, down the line.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Just's gonna get half. And then she ghosted ghosted.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Then I was like, me and Gypsy had to talk
on the phone, and I reached out to her again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I was like, look, you.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Know, what you're doing is rome YadA, YadA, YadA, and and.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
She was like, well, I was the press. It takes
two seconds to say how you doing, you know or whatever.
And at that time I was so frustrated with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All because there was no promises, you know, like I
was like, can I have it in writing? And oh no,
I'm good, it'll you know, it'll be good. I'm gonna
give Gypsy half of what I made off of it,
and she didn't, so like she blocked me on everything.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah, but I was a little more ruthless witter,
you know, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I was pissed, to say the least.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And I was just in prison and didn't have control
over anything going on.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And that's why story she didn't want any of them
to talk to anybody they were playing, because they knew
I was going to say something, you know, out of sets,
you know, oh my hair talking. We know.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
She just wants to say she has at so good
she is. She's just looking at us and kicking away
in her little chair there and eating HER's.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Was there any portrayal of any character character to your life?
But you know me anyone in your life that it
was a character in the movie that they did get right?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Do you think no?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They got they got Aliyah all wrong. She was her
name was Lacy and the show they played her as
a disrespect to, you know, to her mom and everything,
and she's totally opposite, totally opposite of what they portrayed
her to be. I wasn't really in it so much
(26:56):
except for one scene.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But they get the story of Nicholas right at all.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Watch it pretty much, you know, I think there was
He was the only one that I think that I
saw was that Okay, there's not too much, you know,
to complain about. But then there were, and I felt
sorry for the actor because I'm like, oh, got it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do I just notice you? You? You know, they're making
you look like an idiot? Yea, there really are. I
mean I'm a blunt person and I just say it
like it is.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But you know, as far as you know, dedity, I
think they did really well. When Rod watched it, he
only watched about the same amount as her, and he
was like, is that Patricia Arch kid? And I was like, yeah,
He's like, oh my god, I'll never look at her
same again, because I mean they did. You know, she
(27:54):
didn't look nothing like herself.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right, I'm going to go.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
But it was so nice to me, so pleasure, meaning you.
I hope to meet you in person one day, but.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Let's make that happen. We will, all right. And I
have a very ice bucket challenge. I know, yes, I
can't wait to watch it. And it was my extensions. Okay,
it was cool.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
You really quick, you just hop in the hot shower,
you get really.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Agh.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's popular.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Go get really hot first outside and then it's gonna
feel do it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, I'm having to do a change.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's changed.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
But I mean after I watched probably about thirty minutes
of it, and I started to kind of be really
nitpeaky about, you know, the trailer of my Mom, and
I was just kind of like, she wouldn't have done that.
Notice that's not how she would have said it or
anything like that. So I feel like, because I lived
with my mom day in and day out, I definitely
(28:56):
was more critical of her portrayal of my mom. Then
then Joey's portrayl be.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
So if you had it to do over and you
were in control, who would you cast as you?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Honestly, I feel like Joey did a really good job.
I always thought maybe Millie Bobby Brown. I always liked her,
so I definitely, you know, I think that Joey though,
did a really good job. And I mean it's one
of those things. It's kind of like whenever you look
at a show or a film and you're like, I
can't see anybody else playing that character once you know,
(29:36):
once you see it the visual, you can't see anybody
else do it.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So I understand, well, thank you, go be with the Aurora.
The feet, don't you just love the feet? No?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It was so squeaky.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I used to just like sniff all my baby's feet
and like kiss them and like they're so soft. And
I always said I was going to like do something,
do craft. I craft a lot dy So I wanted
to do something with the baby's feet. And I said
this with every baby, and then of course all of
them got big, and now my eight year old his
(30:15):
feet are like huge, and I'm like, oh, I never
did anything with the baby feed like because you can't
get that back. And that's the thing, like you'll see
when she gets older. You missed the baby feet so much.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I know I want to get I have a few
tattoos on me, but I want to get something to
represent her. My cousin is a preessional tattoo artist and
he's done all my tattoos, so I want to get
something to represent her, and I was thinking maybe the feet.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Oh my gosh, I just found this insanely beautiful artistic
tattoo artists online. That's something totally different, but fine lines.
I'm toscended to you. I know you want your cousin
to do it, but this person is like I'm like,
oh my gosh, it's like getting the essence of the
person without like it being their face or it being
like their exact foot. It's like an outline she puts
(31:07):
into flowers kind of. It's really cool, like something i'd
be interested in. Yeah, I'd never seen it before, so.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, she would do it for you.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Okay, my friend, thank you for taking the time with
from your baby to do this. And I look forward
to that whiskey stour video doing the ice Bucket challenge.
We're going on vacation together. I mean, we have lots
to do in the future. I'm getting you on Dancing
with the Stars, although you can get yourself on Dancing
with the Stars, but I'm just going to advocate for you.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
We have lots to do.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Wait, oh my gosh. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
You have a whole life ahead of you, and you know,
things can only define you as much as you let
them define you. And it looks like you're really taking
that step towards making you your own world, with your
own man, with your own baby, and with your own
power inside. So thank you, so much, Thank you, and
(32:09):
I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
All right, have a good rest of your day, you too.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Bye bye.
