Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're Back.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's one of my favorite episodes.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It really is the holiday episode and you have to
do it properly. To the man, Welcome to the second
year of Holidays at the Manor.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Okay, my first question, I actually have two important questions.
First of all, did you email the new owner.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
As one of my closest friends as well as my
producer and podcast host. I mean, I know you know
the answer.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Why why? It would mean something to you, so why not. Look,
the guy might say no, or he might ignore you.
We know these are the worst scenarios that could happen.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, and I think about it all the time, So
I would feel so much better if I got that
like million lists in my head.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
One time, I finally went and got the real ID,
as you know, because I had to bail early on
something the other day to go to the DMV. Do
you know the weight that is lifted off of me
now that I have gotten the real ID and I
don't have to worry about this anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Sorry, I have one piece of hair. It starm we
over that edge. God damn it. My hair was on
point a jingle ball and now it's just like shit
the bed. Wait I think I need By.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
The way, please don't edit that out. It's so good. Wait, Tory, seriously,
why can't you just send this guy an email? Calls office.
He might say no, but what if you make his
whole day by being like, I'd love to have you come.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Over call his office. You know I'll never get on
the phone, you know I hate the phone. Okay, Wait,
sometimes I'm like a five year old and someone has
to hold my hand through things. I know I'm fifty
two and I shouldn't have to do this. But with
all your free time, which you have zero, could you
just sit on the phone with me while I write
(02:13):
the email really quickly, then say did you hit send?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And I'll be like I hit do it right now.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I will draft it for you right now, like during
our podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, people want to hear this. Hi, mister Google. I
forgot his name. I know he's very important. It's not
it's one of the two Google guys. My phone is recording.
How do you want me to do this?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're recording this, Tory. We're recording this so you can
somebody can transcribe it for you. We'll just write it
out right now. Dear sir, my name is Tory Spelling.
I am not sure if you are aware of this
or not, but my father, Aaron Spelling, and my mother,
Candy Spelling build humble house, built the house that you
(03:00):
have recently purchased. This house brought me and my family
so much joy, so many incredible experiences. I am so
thrilled for you that you are now going to live
here and enjoy all the wonderful, beautiful memories this house
will create for you. It would mean the world to
me and my children, yes, to be able to see
(03:22):
the house just one more's time. I really would love
for them to experience the magic and extravagance and wonder
of this house that I spent my teen years in.
I know this is a strange request, but I know
what a fun loving guy you are. Would you ever
(03:46):
allow us to come by for a visit. In exchange,
I can provide you with an autograph copy of the
nine to two one zero DVD set? Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In exchange, my friend Namy Sugarman makes these amazing nine
two gift bags.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
By the way, I have to send you it. I
have so many things to send you from my game back.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So I never like to correct you, but I'm going
to correct you. So not correct, not correct. Thirteen years
so my storytelling because of my father, and it's not
this is this is all the truth. I would go
one step further great and say this is the truth
that the last memory I have before my dad passed
(04:32):
being a daddy's girl, was being at his bedside in
this home. My greatest regret, and I do not believe
in regrets, is that my children never got to meet
their grandfather. Being in this home and then getting to
see it, not just online and me describing this is
where Grandpa Aaron and Grandma Candy raised us would mean
(04:55):
the world to me. Do you like this? Do you
like this? Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Cory's true? This is so great. And here's the thing.
What's the worst thing that can happen? He ignores you.
What's the worst? Number two is that he says, hey,
crazy lady, absolutely not am I letting you in my home.
But let's let's turn the tables. Say you got an
email from I have a real ID, so he'll let
me in. He'll you're a real idea. I'm so proud
(05:20):
of you. Say you got an email from Mark Paul Gossler.
I'm just making it up. I don't know why that
name came to my head. And he says me to
actually no, because you know him. So let me think
of someone you don't know. Do you know Barack Obama? No?
So you get an email from Barack Obama and it says, hey,
Tory Spelling loved your show. When I was growing up,
(05:42):
I lived in the very house that you live in. Now,
would it trouble you if Michelle and I came by
for a quick visit and to take a few photos.
What would your response be, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This is a hard one because it's Barack Obama? And
why is this hard? What are you talking about? No,
I would say yes immediately. But here's the thing, and
I think this is what you're getting at for me personally.
If I got an email and said I used to
live in that home, could I bring my kids by,
I'd say yes, no matter who, it was exactly right right,
(06:16):
because that's the kind thing to do.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Also, your Tory Spelling, like, it's not rude to say,
my father, the legendary Aaron Spelling, built this ginormous hotel
of a house, and I'd love to show my kids.
I know what you would say to Barack Obama. You'd
say absolutely, and then you would panick because the house
would be a little bit messy and you need to
(06:39):
clean it up a little bit. But I bet you
he keeps the spelling manner immaculate. I don't picture stacks
of bills and crap because he's not going to live there.
He's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Wa Wait, he might sleep there.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You don't know. He might sleep there from time to time.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We don't know, are you right? We don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right, it might be his full time residence. That's fine.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Thing when people go to my old bedroom and the
kids and I can build a fort and have a sleepover.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It could all be amazing if you would just try it.
My thing is when people call me and they're like,
I'm on my way.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is my is?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I have a small My house is very clean, very clean,
very organized, beds are made.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I've been in one water it is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have a little clutter. Did you see that pile
when you were upstairs in my house? There's the one
pile by the sliding glass door. That's the like, I
got to deal with this pile. It looks fine.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's like, snoop to your house. I did. I looked
for wine. I was a stressful day. No, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I think you were hungry and I was like, don't
eat the eggs. I haven't been there in a few weeks.
You say they could have been.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Spoiled, but I did. I did it anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, I know you live dangerous girl.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, tell me about it. God, I love a good
trip anyway. Yeah, So we're going to write it. It's
all here, it's proof. Yeah, someone's going to help me transit.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Adri can help you. Adrian can help because a computer
makes the transcripts. So it's not like Adri even has
to like dictate like it's nineteen eighty five. It's just
some computer can send us the transcripts of this. The
letter is done. The hard part is finding his email. Adrian,
do you think you could work on trying to find
(08:15):
the email for the guy that bought the house or
like his assistant's email.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Absolutely, see, don we're done. My next question for you
reset yourself because now we're going to get into the.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Good stufy than shake it.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
By the way, I always have neck pain from menopause.
You don't have that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh is it for ment I have? I have pain everywhere?
It's menopause?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Do I think it's MENIM.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Like join hip pains? Like me too?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Me too, me, I have every whatever. That's a different show, Okay.
So I also I want to ask you that I.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Always say tour, but did something to my rotator cuff?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You know, to say niscuss? Doesn't it seem like everyone
says I something to my miniscuss. I don't know what
each I think out my biscuit. Would you just say no?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
No? I tore my rotator cuff when I was doing
Dancing with the Stars and they were like, don't tell
anyone because it whatever cut that. I don't say that
about that. I tore it the first like before the
premiere episode, and I never got an X ray though
they just did a lot of like physical therapy on
and all that. So I don't know if I tore
(09:28):
it or I threw it out whatever. But it acted
up again recently and I literally have no arm, like I.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Remember last year. I think it was last year when
I broke my ankle. Remember when I broke my ankle. Yeah,
it's it'll never be the same. And it acts up
in the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's so weird. You know what you need? EXI zones?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I don't know, but I sounded smart saying it. Right,
we're getting off track.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I need you to get folks, because here's my next
question for you. So I'm the first question I have.
I know. I want to know how you feel right
now that it's the holidays, because I have my theories
on you, and the horror is at a place with
this true worried about her hair. No one gets to
see that. I want to know how you feel right now. Okay,
you know you're divorced, your you've got the kids. You
(10:25):
look festive and adorable, thank you. So how does it
feel because now like this is a different year than
a year ago, like you're settled into your skin. You look,
you look amazing, by the way, amazing. So how do
you feel that it's the holidays?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I can answer this, and I'm going to tell you
the truth. I have prided myself my whole life. I'm
a festive girl. You know, I'm that light always burns bright.
I'm Jenny has always called me Pollyanna, Like I'm always
like positive, positive, no matter what hits me. Your thrown
out me. I'm like, it's okay. We get passed in
and I keep going. So holidays are my favorite. This
(11:05):
year went real fast. Like I feel like last week
I was fucking Thanksgiving dinner. I'm like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh man, It's like we were in the theater watching
Wicked for good.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was good at though, by the way, I liked too.
I never saw Wicked one, as you know, but I
saw Wicked too. Keep going.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Number two is where it's at. I wasn't a believer
Wicked one. I agree, I agree Wicked too. I'm like,
I am in. I'm a lifer. I won't be back
and watch Wicked one. But I'm a lifer for number two.
But that's just my personality. So I was always like,
Mama clause, I'm like happy, I'm festive. Notoriously we used
to give this title, but you said notoriously. I know.
(11:47):
Actually I could intend that one. Wink wink. Anyway, we
used to title Dean my baby Daddy officially mix now
the Grinch. Oh, it wasn't just a fun title. He is.
But he would always say and fair, he would say
to me, I grew up very different, and I'm like
(12:10):
he did. And he would always say for me, he
would be like, you go so all out, it's almost
it's too much and it's hard on you. He's like,
it's hard on me because you know, Christmas Eve, I'm
with you. You know, we're running through the malls, We're
doing like He's like they would be. And I said,
(12:32):
I understand when you grew up it was different and
you didn't have you grew up without money, and you
had a very different celebration. But keep in mind, this
is all I know. I grew up and it's not
like I'm trying to be big and outdo. It's how
I knew, almost a version of love.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeh, yeah, that's well said.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah. And I had beautiful memories and my mom and dad.
It was my mom handle all the shopping into doing
all the decorations, but they were very festive, and I
have beautiful memories that sometimes you go with. You know,
it's like the recipes you have from childhood. You bring
them back and people are like what is this and
you're like, I grew up loving it. Yeah. So I
(13:17):
would always say to him, I understand. And we didn't
fight about a lot of things. It was always but
this was something, and so he would always be like
and we'd be like, oh oh Dad, the kids would
be like, you're the grinch, and we'd give him like
little fun things that said, you know, humbug, like all
of that. Well, what comes around goes around. This year,
(13:39):
I feel I'm the grinch. I've turned into the grinchtig
into that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't think you are. And I'll give an example
in a minute, But do you feel like you're just
trying not to be so extravagant about it and a
little bit more toned down? Are you actually like I'm
not into this.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I feel like the responsibilities this is all a blessing.
The work is intense and extreme and I have a
lot of work going on right now. Oh that's beautiful.
The kids, they this year have made that transition where
(14:18):
they you know, they're teenagers, but not just teenagers. We
are the house. So every weekend I have between eight
and twelve teenagers here. Yeah, and Dean will say to me,
it's not my home, so I can't tell you what
to do, but it's okay to say no. And I say,
(14:39):
you know what, now, I remember my mom would always
say she never wanted like I could go out, but
I had a curfew even till I was a like
turned eighteen. I was on Nino two and ol with
like eleven thirty Carvo, Like I would go drop my
friend's OFFI the designated, like you know, I draw with
(15:00):
the raves downtown and be like, oh, I got to
be home at eleven thirty and my mom was always
in the kitchen and she was waiting, like and I
look back and I'm like, that was love. That was
like and she felt like as long as the kids
were over and she created a safe space, then at
least she knew and she could control it totally. That's
how I feel. I'm the fun mom. They all want
(15:22):
to come here. Yeah, they got all the food, the sodas.
We're having fun. They're like talking to me about their
significant others. Why do I say that? You know they're
no girls they're talking to right, And I'm the cool mom.
But I'm also I'm like, my kids are here and
I know where they are.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So anyway, life has just been crazy. It's gone really fast.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think that's good. By the way, Tori, like I
get it all. That's really good. Oh okay, yes, So
like you're making priorities. You're saying, I'm the house where
they all come. If that means that I can't have
it every single thing done because I'm home off every
weekend with ten kids over, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He just made a choice, and that's on a slow night.
But what about Okay, So here's what I did, interrupt you,
But I did for the first time in history, I
did get my tree up before December. First I've never done.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh that was good. So like Thanksgiving weekend or something, Yeah,
mid November. I'm not mad at people that put I'm
not for Christmas decorations in October. But once Halloween is over,
you can start doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You can start doing it. But I used to get mad.
Like my best friend Jess, she is a planner and
she's a mom. She has two kids. She has a
busy life, but she plans things out and like, you know,
fair to say, like you know, she's that human that
the gifts are ordered by August and like things are planned.
And she always says, you would enjoy your holidays so
(16:56):
much more if you would just think ahead. And I
say I can't.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, here's my question on that. So we had jingle
ball right, and we had a pretty cool like jingle
Ball gift room. And between us, I thought the elf
on the shelf stuff was legit, and also the skippity toilets,
and I thought your kids would think those were a hoot.
So I said to you put it in the closet
and then put it under the tree. Wrap it and
put it under the tree. And you're like, no, I can't,
(17:20):
I can't. You just gave it to him right away.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This is a literal conversation to help me out. And
she's like this, Oh my god, give me toilet you have,
like the there foot one. He's gonna boast.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And it was been a perfect gift and all that
elf on the shelf you could have done, all that
stuff did. Why can't you put it, wrap it and
put it under the tree instead of like instant gratification.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, Well the truth is because I didn't want to.
But I just watched Liar Liar with Finn the other night.
He was like, mom, this is a good movie. After
jingle Bar, he was the only one that still up
and he's like, we watched Larry Larry. He had never
seen it. But I feel like lately I'm like lyral Lar,
(18:06):
I just can't lie.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You want to know what is an amazing holiday movie.
It's not just because Joe Jonas is smoking hot. The
Very Jonas Christmas. What No, I'm telling you, The Very
Jonas Christmas is one of the best holiday movies I've
seen in years. It's like, so good, you gotta watch it.
I'm tell you, with the whole fan we love. It's
(18:27):
a musical, it's got jokes, it's got inside jokes, it's
it's so good. There's a love story.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Oh I feel bad that I immediately heard the Jonas and
I judged it what I opened everything. Oh my god,
I'm super psyched. I do love them. But Christmas though,
But okay, he.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Doesn't wrap any of it put under the tree.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
In my defense, Elf on the Shelf homesick today, Elf
on the Shelf, the elves go away after Christmas defeats
the purpose. But I'm just I'm justifying my case here,
like gibbitty toilet and a cat in a criminal case,
skippity toilet I should have done because he opened it
(19:08):
the next day. But by the way, he was bummed,
Like mom, He's like, you were going so long last
night and I feel Mom yelled. I'm like, I'm sorry, buddy,
and I gave it to him and he goes, Mom,
this is the best day of my life.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah. I love when kids say that. We went through
like a one of those lights walking tours and it
was like a in a garden, so it was really
about the plants. But I give it like, because I
like those things. I'd give this one like a six
out of ten, and one of my nieces goes ten
out of ten. It was great at a great time.
So it's like kids love stuff, like meaning doing things.
(19:44):
It doesn't have to be so big. They like like
little things like the Skivvity toilet right listening a Skivvity
toilet is like we don't even know what it is,
but they turned into a toy. Smart and oh with
the toilet toy?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Did I give you the back story? So all at
the gifting suite, I spent time with like all the
people working there, you know, giving you know, because they're
like just giving out free swag and it's so kind
and I'm like, okay, So I started telling him, I'm like,
you don't understand my kids love this. Dylan was his name,
and he's like, I like your energy. I'm like, I
(20:20):
like your energy too, and he goes, no, you're so nice.
I go, thank you, so are you? Thank you for
spending time and laying me rant about it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
He was a young, rude. I'm not one hundred percent
sure he knows that you're like famous. I'm just saying,
I mean, you had a beautiful gown on. So maybe
he thought. This girl's definitely not wearing like you know,
she's she's in work here. She's not wearing jeans and
T shirt like I was.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, it's not like last year when they did the
Forever bracelets and the girl goes, I recognize you, and
I go, oh, thank you. She goes, you're great On
what's the real estate show you're on? She thought I
was selling Sunset. She's not anymore, long hair blonde.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The one that's married to el Musa, Heather el Musa.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Nope, the villain. She was the villain on selling Sunset.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I don't know, but that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Anyone, Chrislle Maybe she's not on it anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, anyway, first of all, it was a good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Reference though she's super hot anyway. Anyway, is making Michael
Bay is making a scivity toilet movie. You see now
I had your attention.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, separately, I was gonna say, between for a thirty
five to sixty year old, you're very famous. For twenty
year old, they're like, who's that lady?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But they're scary movie too, where they love to reference
that I had sex with a star by the way,
and like I'm a meme, Like that's like a big thing.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And dancing with the stars is like humongous.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
True.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now, weren't you on Joey's season.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Joey Yes, the Bachelor Joey one. Yeah, yeah, I love
that man.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Anyway, I digress. We gotta get Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Bay as making the scibity toilet movie, and he sees it.
He did the original Transformers movie as the new generation's Transformers,
and he's going with that vibe. Dylan invited me to
bring the kids to Michael bay studios and get to
yes to see the behind the scenes and them creating this.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, that was bold of Dylan. I hope he knows.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Michael Bay what do you mean we've been texting? Is
this not real?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
No? I think it probably is. I don't know where
he got into deformation. Okay, let's get back to what
I want to talk about, is your first memory, okay,
of the holidays at the Manor, like I know you
like to go. The other house was really where my
(22:47):
growing up memories were. But that's not this episode. This
is the Manner. I want to know if you can
remember the first holidays there and where you like, what
hotel is this?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That house was crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That house was nuts. So the moment we moved into
that house, and I told you it took six years
for it to be built, the moment we moved in
the very first Christmas because my mom had always done
a Christmas Eve party at our old house. Yes, but
it was just like.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Bing Crosby who owned that house before you, some old
timey guy Bing Crosby, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You're right, And then she tore it to the ground
and built it up to be the Manor.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But bing Crosby owned the dirt of the Manor who
owned your other house before you? I thought some other
famous person owned that house. Oh I don't know, So
bing Crosby owned the dirt of the Manor. Why do
we say it like that? Because you said your mom
tore it down and then built it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Back up, So he owned the soil he owned.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The dirt because he didn't own the house because it
was a totally different house, but he owned all that land.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, I mean that house was badass that he had.
But she, yes, tore it to the ground.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Somebody famous owned the house. You had the soil like
soiling greens well on the dirt because he on the land,
and well, yes, he own the house, but like she
tore it down. So I don't want people thinking Ben
Crosbie built the manor your mom did it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I see where you're going, correct, Oh, I wonder what's
buried there that like be Crosby, Like nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Very strange.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But he had crawfish he had like it was like
going through fish like.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh he had the animals, that's.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Right, animals the house like and trees you'd be like
going through the woods.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It was like it was like troop every like before
your mom. Did you go there to see bing Crosby
before your mom tore it down?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
No, he wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How do you know all the animals were there? Someone
told you always saw them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Oh, we were there, like and my mom was looking
at the house. So we got to go with her
and do the walk here and she was assessing whether
the house would work and all that and the land
would work, and they were like, oh, the kids will
love what we have back here. So we got to
go and someone took us.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right back to your first holiday memory at the Manor.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So the house before my mom never threw parties, but
they would have like friends and family, like a small group.
I would say, like thirty people over max twenty maybe
at our old house. The first year at the Manor
started the tradition of the most massive Christmas Eve party.
People still talk about those parties. So it was always
(25:44):
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know it days at our Christmas but like, well
was Captain stubing there? Is what I always ask? Was
it more? It was friends and coworkers, less celebrities?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Right, there were celebrities, and it was interesting. The celebrities
from my perspective, depended on what my dad was doing
at that time.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So whereas before when I was growing up, you know,
there would be like celebrities from the past, like you know, well,
Dean Martin was my godfather, so he would be there
and like it would be like old school celebrities. It
was definitely more like a business transaction with Christmas Eve
at the Manor, because it would be like at the
(26:28):
time it was nine oh two and oho, so you
know all the heads of Fox and right right right right,
you know the heads that ran you know, spelling entertainment,
like right under my dad and everything. And then it
would be like Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, like that's how.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Got it, got it? Okay, So can you describe what
this party was? Just give your free flowing sort of memories,
the food, the decor, were their gifts, like, just give
me the gist of like what what'd I be walking into?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well? First, okay, so you it got more intense every year,
like she added to it. I mean bigger, bigger, bigger.
So I can vividly remember the last one she had
before she sold it, and this was after my dad
had passed. But the first one, I would say, it
(27:21):
was still big. I mean the what we called the
living room and projection room. The screen would come up
on the floor. Yes, those were the two rooms. Mostly
the living room, the piano. She would have a piano
player there at some point. Always uh carollers.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Would come oh okay, cool cool, and.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
The food so there was always caviar and not just
like caviar.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Like okay, gross, sorry so gross.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I love caber so much whatever I was raised that way.
It's not my phone, but it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Was like if you were raised on it? Or is
it gross? That's what I want to know, Like it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Seems so interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
One time I accidentally ate pete and that is the
most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my entire life.
One of my cut I was like a bar mitzvah
and I thought, I don't know what it was, and
it went in my mouth and I was like, I'm
gonna throw up.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
We're a texture person. Then yes, no, it just tastes terrible.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But anyway, keep going.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I mean some say kat food, but whatever, I call
it fine dining. So what other food?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Keep going? I like that? So I bite, did you
have like brie and dough, like those kind of bree bites?
I love that brandberries?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, but massive. So there would always be like seafood towers.
So there would be ice sculptures with like that would
hold her silver, that would have like a big ice
thing inside that would have the caviar. Now the caviar
for people that don't know, I didn't know, I just thought, oh,
everyone knows caviar, and I don't know how much it costs.
(29:08):
Being now that it's like, if I want to buy caviar,
I have to get like the small one, like that's
this big, like tiny, because it's like two hundred dollars.
She had the most massive tins that as soon as
it would get like scooped out a little bit, someone
would come in and change them out. I mean it
must have been like thousands and thousands of dollars worth
of caviar. There were shrimps that were so big to
(29:30):
have these massive like shrimp cocktails on ice crab claws.
There was I mean, bree yes, I feel like but
giants like huge bris rounds, like I don't know where
she get these from, like like it's like flown in
from France.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
This is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
What else?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
So people passing appetizers a buffet are talking.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh yeah, And the same woman would be there every year,
and we all became friends with her, because of course
that's what you know I do. My brother and I
and our friends would like hang out with her. But
she was like she was a heavy poor.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
This is the bartender lady or the caterer chef.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Who is this the server? Oh the server that sounds terrible,
you guys. Whatever she like, We hung out with her
all night. We loved her. We knew who's bread to
butter because she would repour our champagne and even before
we could drink, you know, she would help us out legally,
(30:34):
but yeah, always heavy handed. She would come and like
everybody champagne. People would take champagne and it was like,
you know, probably gomb like, I'm sure something's super fancy.
And she would pass out a tray and she'd be
dressed in you know, black and white in her uniform
and she would pass out a tray and then she
would come by and people would just be talking because
(30:55):
everyone's you know, networking basically at Aaron spelling this Christmas
Eve party, but also like starting to have a lot
of fun too. These parties got nuts because she would
just like, while you were standing there talking, just come
and repoor. So people go wasting these parties every year.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Now when this turned into dancing or more like just chatting, chatting, chatting.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
No chatting, there was okay, my gosh, there was always
a magician came magic sings on the card and here
and I'm going to do this, and you know, the
young people are like, oh my god, wait for it.
The old people were like, whoa, that's amazing. We're like yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Carollers would come towards not the end, but I
(31:38):
would say later into the night. By this point everyone
was feeling loose.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They're a toast moment, Like was there every moment when
Aaron Spelling comes out welcome everybody?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Or is it more just like a fantasy island.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, okay, just more party, party, party.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah. But he was always like he'd be in his slacks.
They were all the time, his slacks. He would be
in his uh, button up white shirt and always a
v neck cashmere sweater, usually in the you know, like
it it'd be red. It was typically red for Christmas,
(32:16):
gray slacks. And my mom would always like color coornd
and like it was always like a fun festive thing.
But my mom would always have like outfits made like
Nolan Miller made and could you.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Pick out whatever you wanted to wear, or was like
candy like hey, Randy and Tory this year we're doing
Laura Ashley and you need to wear neck you know, Okay,
so you could wear whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Right, I mean she becaus have my outfits when I
was younger, but the manner it was a free for all.
But we grew up knowing always dressed cohesive, So.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
You're not going to you're not going to be improper.
This was more I got it.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
But Nolan Miller, the famous designer, Uncle Nolan, he.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Would just said cohesive, so that everybody kind of okay.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Machi was like not a thing like but it was
just like cohesive, cohesive. It wasn't like someone's wearing like
shocking pink and everyone's green. It's like, no, even though
running Redding, green and pink look great together, but this is.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Really the year of the pink Christmas. But anyway, well
I digress. A lot of pink trees, a lot of
pink pink, but anyway, go back to Nolan Miller.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I know you're right. It's because of Wicked.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Right, Yeah, I think you might be right.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well maybe, but hello, like pink and green, o G
Beverly Hills, Like.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I know, I started for pink. I did a pink
and green Christmas this year. Yeah, but not for Wicked
just because No, not for Wicked, just because I liked
I thought, oh, that's fun, whimsical, let's be different. But anyway,
back to Nolan Miller.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
So, Nolan Miller, the designer, he would always, you know,
do my mom's gowns and everything. I just remember was that,
like I was either eighteen or ninety. Have I told
this story before where she had the most a beautiful
tartan like love a tartana me too. So it was
a taff at a time. Oh wow, very very like
(34:10):
early nineties there, yes, and we moved in in what
ninety ninety one?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yep, this is the time.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, so huge skirt, but it was attached. It was
a dress, so it was a collared shirt, white shirt,
you know, cuffs, the whole nine, but attached. So it
was a big dress with a big tartan skirt. And
I just remember my friends and I like, we would
love to like rile my mom. My mom like always
had everything planned because she's always you know, she felt
(34:43):
like at the time and this no longer exists. At
the time early nineties, the woman behind the man, she
was there to represent make sure everything was on point all,
you know, and she's detail oriented, like the food had
to be in circulation constantly she had eyes on everything.
She didn't have assistance running around doing it for it
was always she was like and still you know, anyone
that came through, she'd be like, go to get my dad,
(35:05):
like you know, so and so is here, and he'd
be like, of course, you know, because he'd be having
a conversation and she'd make sure he got up. And
they were really proper hosts, and they taught me a
lot about hosting and making people feel welcome and happy
and joyful.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So tell me about the last one that you remember
without your dad?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Oh? My god? Wait? We do we do this annually?
If I tell all the stories, what are we going
to do next year?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
When your dad passed away? Did she move shortly there after?
Did she stay in the house for a bit? I
know you've told me this, but I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I can't remember either. I mean I feel like she
was there for a bit a year at least a
couple of years.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Wow, couple of.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Years, I think. Okay, I'm not sure exactly. Yeah, but
uh oh, the last one? Wait, do you really want
me to tell a story that I have not? That's
the final story for next year. It's the last year
of the Manor. Okay, let me just say there were I.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Think you should know it.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
There were nutcrackers when you pulled into the circular driveway
where Valet parked. You same place where I got my
first wedding was in that circular driveway that you know,
the helicopters are like, oh my god, like it was
Dynasty on steroids.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, it really was. Because it's way bigger than the
Dynasty mansion.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Way bigger. What would be a current reference, like what
would we say now.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
You mean, like like to compare the Manor to.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Like someone could TV, because even.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
The Dynasty mansion that that's up here in Woodside is
like not anything compared to like how big the Manor was.
Or I don't know because even in like all is
fair with those you know, Kim Kardashian's show, they're like
very low that show. It's like it's really good. I know,
I don't know why everyone was like, oh it's so bad.
It's like not bad at all. It's actually it's my
it's excellent. But nothing even with how rich those people are,
(36:53):
I don't I don't think I can compare. I guess
maybe like a castle.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Like like bigger than any.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Real right, No, I know that's what I'm saying. Like
Prince William, I don't know where he lives. Actually, I
don't think he lives in that big of a place.
And I don't know about King Charles, but I don't
think they. I don't think it's as big as the manner.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh my god, you're comparing it to a palace, like
I'm royalty or something.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
I mean, do they live in that big of a palace?
I don't actually know. I don't know how many square
feet was the manor.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Was that like a young was the matter of thirty feet?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Thirty thousand square feet?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Fifty six thousand? What do you mean fifty.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Six thousand square feet?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I don't even know how long that takes to walk
from one end to the other. That's one of the
things if you get to go there, I want you
to time how long it takes to go from one
end to the other.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Oh, and like rings, the or ring that's on this party?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Is it all indoors? Like you never went outside? I
feel like the grounds of this house were so amazing
that like.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Ever went outside?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh did you ever have an Easter party outside?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Why did we not use the outside.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Ooh, good question. My wedding was outside.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
So I think we've done in the wedding episode, we've
been talking about doing that.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Oh my god, what happened to do it? I'm ready
for it? Yeah, totally yeah, my first marriage. Oh my god.
Oh that was a great party.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Back to the manner. These are all different episodes. We've
got a lot to do in twenty twenty six. Yeah
a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Okay, so yeah, but the whole tented yard and then
Prince Charles party the one.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Sorry, I think I've blocked us out.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What was all? What? What?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think I forgot this?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Prince Charles came the very King Charles now King Charles,
now Prince Charles at the time. He was coming to
La for something and she had never she we had
just moved into the manor not just like somepting. I
was like eighteen and nineteen, and she was like, I have.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Met she.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Candy's spelling.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Oh you met Princess Diana. Okay, wait, so Candy, how
do they even know Prince Charles to be like, hey,
want to come over.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
God. I got to ask my mom the roots of
this story because I don't know. But for some reason
it got out there that my mom had not yet
that we had moved thrown a party, any party yet
at the manor, and she was like it was big news.
The very first party thrown at the legendary now legendary,
(39:35):
newly iconic manner Candy Spelling and Aaron Spelling. We're going
to host Prince Charles and like a big charity thing.
And so they did.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Save it for another episode.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Oh my god, I find.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
All the pictures. Where's all the pictures of all these things?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I have them?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Oh yeah, you need to organize them. Okay, remind me
just like the email I haven't said.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Will send you like that Aaron Spelling museum or something.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Oh wait, what if he wants to do museum stuff
he wants to do people can like come and rent
out and do events. Like what if we asked the
new owner to do an Aaron Spelling museum that's just
like an immersive thing that just runs for a short
period of time.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Great, can you pop up just email? But I think
there should be like an Aaron Spelling museum. And like
there's like two things, a bunch of Melrose plays things,
a bunch of love boat, a bunch of Charlie's Angels,
like there should be totally Look did you see what
they did for Jennifer Garner recreating her growing up kitchen?
They could easily recreate the sets from these shows easily.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I didn't see this. What did I miss?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
You should look at Jennifer Garner's It made me cry
like a baby. It was so good. They rebuilt her
growing up kitchen obviously from like photos, and like, look,
they can do all that stuff. They could totally rebuild
all the shows, Charlie's Angels, the the you know, the
speaker phone, Dynasty stuff, everything, love boat stuff. But you
(41:14):
know what you're.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Talking about, one of those immersive experiences like a light show,
but different where you interact and you go through each
room like Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
All I gotta do is take the Charlie's Angels like anybody,
it's like me.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
We create the set, different rooms, we have actors come
in and play the versions, and people.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Get to it could be anywhere, right, all.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
The decades we moved through, and the final one would
be his final show. I guess seven to seven, and
then I'm realizing it.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Was your dad show. I've also fully blocked.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
This out wait, wait, we have to do this, will
you hope me.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Yeah, it's a big undertaking, but yeah, I know it's
a real you a big one. I know seven seven
that's a whole nother show because there's some I could
do storylines on that show.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah wow, Okay, anyway, came back to that.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
The holidays.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
So the holiday one in the circular driveway, you park
and there are I forget how many.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Steak nutcrackers or real people dressed like nutcrackers.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Fake ones going up the steps, going up the steps.
They were like six feet tall, maybe eight giant.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
It was a fun Boy makes those blow up version now,
but at the time, I'm sure that was quite extravagant.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
But these were plastic, I get it.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I bet they were plastic. I bet there were wood.
No oh, I feel like they were giant wood. Your
mom's not doing plastic like I'm ready to do fun
Boy blow up. Your mom is not doing that. They
were wood nutcrackers. I bet for sure they were not plastic.
They would have like blown over. They were sturdy going up.
(43:04):
I mean maybe they had plastic parts, but like I'm
picturing very sturdy.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Nutcrackers, giant and like one's going up the whole step,
so the entrance you already like had to climb, like
you know, I don't know, thirty steps whatever, twenty Maybe
I'm lying, maybe not that many and traumatic. But crackers
were all lined up outside, and I feel like going
(43:30):
up the steps, but I could be wrong. As you
came in, I feel like someone was there to greet you.
The final party. I'll go back. I wrote about it
all in my book, let me refresh.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
What's your next book going to be?
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Hmmm?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Why don't you write a book about like being a
spelling the good, the bad?
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Because haven't I? I mean, I feel like in all
my books I've told that in my first book storytelling,
it was like me growing up. So I told all
those stories and then had my first child. So I
wonder if those stories are all in my books now,
there's got to be more. I have so many of
them right growing up spelling, but looking at it from
(44:14):
my eyes now, like it's just a whole and evociating
and wanting to finally I feel worthy to kind of
have an idea become my dad.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
What if you and Randy did the book together?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
That is a good idea. That's a great idea. You
haven't done that, Nope, and get the two different perspectives too.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Great call, because we're starting. It's funny you mentioned that,
because he and I are really starting to think about
like the future and the legacy and our children and
what we want to do and represent our father in
a powerful, meaningful way. And we both feel like I'm
not It's not like one apple fell didn't fall far
(44:57):
from the tree. Two apples didn't fall far from the tree.
My brother is creative, genius, you know, he just whyn't
you this? Yeah? Okay, done, but first email, Oh my god,
please remind me.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I'm not going to remind you. Adrian's going to get
you the email, and then you just have to do it,
just do it, all right. So there's more to talk about,
but we've come to the you know.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
I will to leave you on this.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
My mom in that final manner holiday Christmas Eve party
did venture out from the past ones where like the
living room, the conjection room, she had experiences so like
the dining room was turned into something.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
What were these experiences?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Experiences? I'm not like more things like okay, okay, fine.
For instance, our breakfast room which was circular. It's the
one that had this big table that she would push
a button underneath to tell the butler we were done
with our meal. It had a lazy Susan in the middle,
which was like the chicest lazy Susan. But I love
(46:07):
uh and uh, yeah, all of this made anyway. That
room she had turned into the candy room. Oh so
I am in the middle part where that table, and
that used to be in the middle was a huge
table with a train with candy.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
She invented the candy bar. She invented the candy bar.
Oh my god, I kind of think she.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Did, but you know what, that's on brand. My mom
was always ahead of her time with party planning.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
And so you walked in there and you got a
bag and you got to go through all these things
and fill up an entire yeah iconic.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Okay, can you think of one more? I need to know? Like,
was there a magic rail? Yes?
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Oh you want a room? All I remember there was
at this party. There was also a guy going around
with many what are the Oh my gosh, help me.
When we were kids, you can make uh, you can
draw some on it.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
That just sketch.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
God, damn it etch a sketch, couldn't find the word.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
He threw etch of sketches of you, and then you
got the eedch of sketch.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
You've seen this before, okay, but I hadn't seen it
when I was I.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
Saw some party. I don't remember where I was, Oh,
I know it was at a Waygo tango. We had
an etch a sketch guy and you got a mini
etcher sketch and he quickly etches sketched a photo of you,
or like a painting of you. Do you want to
breckon etch a sketch? Which I could get my name
written on an etch of sketch.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
I feel like I was at this one and it
called back all these memories because I still so Stella
and Liam were born when I went to this one,
but they were too young to know. I was carrying Stella.
She was a baby shoot. She had just been born
in June. It was Christmas eve, so I was like
carrying her and Liam by my side, and and I
still have her mini etches sketch.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Yeah, that was pretty iconic. I think my nieces have
the edge of sketched. It was pretty legit. That's pretty rad.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Eight fine. I thought. I thought it was crazy cool. Okay,

Speaker 1 (48:15):
What year was this?
Speaker 2 (48:16):
What year two thousand and eight? I believe it literally.

Feels like it was like the same time we did
it at Wango Tango. No, it was a little later
than that, but not that much later. Wow, Okay, I
got one more.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Uh. I feel like we got bags of donuts. But
everyone does that, but that was like.

Do you want to get married again? I don't know.
I don't think. Well, I love planning a party so
for that alone, but no.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Can you see yourself getting married again?
Speaker 2 (49:21):
M I don't know. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Having a wedding sounds so tiring, doesn't it sound tiring?
I don't have the energy.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
My gosh, you plan stuff for other people.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
I know. I think that's why I don't have the energy.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah. Same, So do you understand bringing it back around
why I have no energy. I'm the grnch this year.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Because you're working so much. I know, it's brutal and menopause.
Let me tell you, Oh, God, doing what we do
every day and menopause.

Brutal and five kids, it's going to be great. Actually,
But here's the thing. I've never not pulled it off.
So I will pull so she will, and I will
be in a good fucking holiday cheer mood.

huge designers and it's like nothing because no one saw it.
Just jammed in there. I'm like, okay, yep, done.

You got this, you got.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
Ho ho ho doesn't work? Wait now I had to.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Turn my light off. I was hurting my eyeballs. Go ahead,

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Oh thoughtful? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (51:35):
A holiday? A Christmas wish because we're not to New
Year's yet. Some advice to the tired moms in menopause.
You got that.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
You're really narrowing our audience right now? Why wait? Okay,
So my Christmas holiday wish for everyone to get there
is two take a moment to be present because it's
all moving so fast. I know for me, I was like,
it was just thanks I was cooking so much that
(52:07):
Thanksgiving was great. I look back at the photos, I'm like, wow,
it looked good. But I wasn't present because I just
wanted to please my family and take some content because
if it doesn't live on Instagram, it doesn't exist. But
other than that, so holiday wish, just take a moment
because before you know it, literally it will be twenty
(52:28):
twenty six. Before you know it, we will be doing
this show next year, in December twenty twenty six. So
just take a moment. It's going to be crazy. We
all know that, but you know that anyway, and as
you're doing each thing and as you're in your mind like,
oh my god, this is crazy, take a moment and
be like, I'm so blessed I get to do this
(52:48):
craziness because I have a blessed life.
Speaker 1 (52:53):
Happy holidays, everybody, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
We love you,
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're Back.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's one of my favorite episodes.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It really is the holiday episode and you have to
do it properly. To the man, Welcome to the second
year of Holidays at the Manor.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Okay, my first question, I actually have two important questions.
First of all, did you email the new owner.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
As one of my closest friends as well as my
producer and podcast host. I mean, I know you know
the answer.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Why why? It would mean something to you, so why not. Look,
the guy might say no, or he might ignore you.
We know these are the worst scenarios that could happen.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, and I think about it all the time, So
I would feel so much better if I got that
like million lists in my head.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
One time, I finally went and got the real ID,
as you know, because I had to bail early on
something the other day to go to the DMV. Do
you know the weight that is lifted off of me
now that I have gotten the real ID and I
don't have to worry about this anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Sorry, I have one piece of hair. It starm we
over that edge. God damn it. My hair was on
point a jingle ball and now it's just like shit
the bed. Wait I think I need By.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
The way, please don't edit that out. It's so good. Wait, Tory, seriously,
why can't you just send this guy an email? Calls office.
He might say no, but what if you make his
whole day by being like, I'd love to have you come.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Over call his office. You know I'll never get on
the phone, you know I hate the phone. Okay, Wait,
sometimes I'm like a five year old and someone has
to hold my hand through things. I know I'm fifty
two and I shouldn't have to do this. But with
all your free time, which you have zero, could you
just sit on the phone with me while I write
(02:13):
the email really quickly, then say did you hit send?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And I'll be like I hit do it right now.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I will draft it for you right now, like during
our podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, people want to hear this. Hi, mister Google. I
forgot his name. I know he's very important. It's not
it's one of the two Google guys. My phone is recording.
How do you want me to do this?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're recording this, Tory. We're recording this so you can
somebody can transcribe it for you. We'll just write it
out right now. Dear sir, my name is Tory Spelling.
I am not sure if you are aware of this
or not, but my father, Aaron Spelling, and my mother,
Candy Spelling build humble house, built the house that you
(03:00):
have recently purchased. This house brought me and my family
so much joy, so many incredible experiences. I am so
thrilled for you that you are now going to live
here and enjoy all the wonderful, beautiful memories this house
will create for you. It would mean the world to
me and my children, yes, to be able to see
(03:22):
the house just one more's time. I really would love
for them to experience the magic and extravagance and wonder
of this house that I spent my teen years in.
I know this is a strange request, but I know
what a fun loving guy you are. Would you ever
(03:46):
allow us to come by for a visit. In exchange,
I can provide you with an autograph copy of the
nine to two one zero DVD set? Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In exchange, my friend Namy Sugarman makes these amazing nine
two gift bags.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
By the way, I have to send you it. I
have so many things to send you from my game back.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So I never like to correct you, but I'm going
to correct you. So not correct, not correct. Thirteen years
so my storytelling because of my father, and it's not
this is this is all the truth. I would go
one step further great and say this is the truth
that the last memory I have before my dad passed
(04:32):
being a daddy's girl, was being at his bedside in
this home. My greatest regret, and I do not believe
in regrets, is that my children never got to meet
their grandfather. Being in this home and then getting to
see it, not just online and me describing this is
where Grandpa Aaron and Grandma Candy raised us would mean
(04:55):
the world to me. Do you like this? Do you
like this? Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Cory's true? This is so great. And here's the thing.
What's the worst thing that can happen? He ignores you.
What's the worst? Number two is that he says, hey,
crazy lady, absolutely not am I letting you in my home.
But let's let's turn the tables. Say you got an
email from I have a real ID, so he'll let
me in. He'll you're a real idea. I'm so proud
(05:20):
of you. Say you got an email from Mark Paul Gossler.
I'm just making it up. I don't know why that
name came to my head. And he says me to
actually no, because you know him. So let me think
of someone you don't know. Do you know Barack Obama? No?
So you get an email from Barack Obama and it says, hey,
Tory Spelling loved your show. When I was growing up,
(05:42):
I lived in the very house that you live in. Now,
would it trouble you if Michelle and I came by
for a quick visit and to take a few photos.
What would your response be, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This is a hard one because it's Barack Obama? And
why is this hard? What are you talking about? No,
I would say yes immediately. But here's the thing, and
I think this is what you're getting at for me personally.
If I got an email and said I used to
live in that home, could I bring my kids by,
I'd say yes, no matter who, it was exactly right right,
(06:16):
because that's the kind thing to do.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Also, your Tory Spelling, like, it's not rude to say,
my father, the legendary Aaron Spelling, built this ginormous hotel
of a house, and I'd love to show my kids.
I know what you would say to Barack Obama. You'd
say absolutely, and then you would panick because the house
would be a little bit messy and you need to
(06:39):
clean it up a little bit. But I bet you
he keeps the spelling manner immaculate. I don't picture stacks
of bills and crap because he's not going to live there.
He's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Wa Wait, he might sleep there.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You don't know. He might sleep there from time to time.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We don't know, are you right? We don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right, it might be his full time residence. That's fine.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Thing when people go to my old bedroom and the
kids and I can build a fort and have a sleepover.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It could all be amazing if you would just try it.
My thing is when people call me and they're like,
I'm on my way.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is my is?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I have a small My house is very clean, very clean,
very organized, beds are made.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I've been in one water it is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have a little clutter. Did you see that pile
when you were upstairs in my house? There's the one
pile by the sliding glass door. That's the like, I
got to deal with this pile. It looks fine.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's like, snoop to your house. I did. I looked
for wine. I was a stressful day. No, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I think you were hungry and I was like, don't
eat the eggs. I haven't been there in a few weeks.
You say they could have been.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Spoiled, but I did. I did it anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, I know you live dangerous girl.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, tell me about it. God, I love a good
trip anyway. Yeah, So we're going to write it. It's
all here, it's proof. Yeah, someone's going to help me transit.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Adri can help you. Adrian can help because a computer
makes the transcripts. So it's not like Adri even has
to like dictate like it's nineteen eighty five. It's just
some computer can send us the transcripts of this. The
letter is done. The hard part is finding his email. Adrian,
do you think you could work on trying to find
(08:15):
the email for the guy that bought the house or
like his assistant's email.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Absolutely, see, don we're done. My next question for you
reset yourself because now we're going to get into the.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Good stufy than shake it.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
By the way, I always have neck pain from menopause.
You don't have that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh is it for ment I have? I have pain everywhere?
It's menopause?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Do I think it's MENIM.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Like join hip pains? Like me too?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Me too, me, I have every whatever. That's a different show, Okay.
So I also I want to ask you that I.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Always say tour, but did something to my rotator cuff?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You know, to say niscuss? Doesn't it seem like everyone
says I something to my miniscuss. I don't know what
each I think out my biscuit. Would you just say no?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
No? I tore my rotator cuff when I was doing
Dancing with the Stars and they were like, don't tell
anyone because it whatever cut that. I don't say that
about that. I tore it the first like before the
premiere episode, and I never got an X ray though
they just did a lot of like physical therapy on
and all that. So I don't know if I tore
(09:28):
it or I threw it out whatever. But it acted
up again recently and I literally have no arm, like I.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Remember last year. I think it was last year when
I broke my ankle. Remember when I broke my ankle. Yeah,
it's it'll never be the same. And it acts up
in the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's so weird. You know what you need? EXI zones?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I don't know, but I sounded smart saying it. Right,
we're getting off track.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I need you to get folks, because here's my next
question for you. So I'm the first question I have.
I know. I want to know how you feel right
now that it's the holidays, because I have my theories
on you, and the horror is at a place with
this true worried about her hair. No one gets to
see that. I want to know how you feel right now. Okay,
you know you're divorced, your you've got the kids. You
(10:25):
look festive and adorable, thank you. So how does it
feel because now like this is a different year than
a year ago, like you're settled into your skin. You look,
you look amazing, by the way, amazing. So how do
you feel that it's the holidays?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I can answer this, and I'm going to tell you
the truth. I have prided myself my whole life. I'm
a festive girl. You know, I'm that light always burns bright.
I'm Jenny has always called me Pollyanna, Like I'm always
like positive, positive, no matter what hits me. Your thrown
out me. I'm like, it's okay. We get passed in
and I keep going. So holidays are my favorite. This
(11:05):
year went real fast. Like I feel like last week
I was fucking Thanksgiving dinner. I'm like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh man, It's like we were in the theater watching
Wicked for good.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was good at though, by the way, I liked too.
I never saw Wicked one, as you know, but I
saw Wicked too. Keep going.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Number two is where it's at. I wasn't a believer
Wicked one. I agree, I agree Wicked too. I'm like,
I am in. I'm a lifer. I won't be back
and watch Wicked one. But I'm a lifer for number two.
But that's just my personality. So I was always like,
Mama clause, I'm like happy, I'm festive. Notoriously we used
to give this title, but you said notoriously. I know.
(11:47):
Actually I could intend that one. Wink wink. Anyway, we
used to title Dean my baby Daddy officially mix now
the Grinch. Oh, it wasn't just a fun title. He is.
But he would always say and fair, he would say
to me, I grew up very different, and I'm like
(12:10):
he did. And he would always say for me, he
would be like, you go so all out, it's almost
it's too much and it's hard on you. He's like,
it's hard on me because you know, Christmas Eve, I'm
with you. You know, we're running through the malls, We're
doing like He's like they would be. And I said,
(12:32):
I understand when you grew up it was different and
you didn't have you grew up without money, and you
had a very different celebration. But keep in mind, this
is all I know. I grew up and it's not
like I'm trying to be big and outdo. It's how
I knew, almost a version of love.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeh, yeah, that's well said.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah. And I had beautiful memories and my mom and dad.
It was my mom handle all the shopping into doing
all the decorations, but they were very festive, and I
have beautiful memories that sometimes you go with. You know,
it's like the recipes you have from childhood. You bring
them back and people are like what is this and
you're like, I grew up loving it. Yeah. So I
(13:17):
would always say to him, I understand. And we didn't
fight about a lot of things. It was always but
this was something, and so he would always be like
and we'd be like, oh oh Dad, the kids would
be like, you're the grinch, and we'd give him like
little fun things that said, you know, humbug, like all
of that. Well, what comes around goes around. This year,
(13:39):
I feel I'm the grinch. I've turned into the grinchtig
into that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't think you are. And I'll give an example
in a minute, But do you feel like you're just
trying not to be so extravagant about it and a
little bit more toned down? Are you actually like I'm
not into this.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I feel like the responsibilities this is all a blessing.
The work is intense and extreme and I have a
lot of work going on right now. Oh that's beautiful.
The kids, they this year have made that transition where
(14:18):
they you know, they're teenagers, but not just teenagers. We
are the house. So every weekend I have between eight
and twelve teenagers here. Yeah, and Dean will say to me,
it's not my home, so I can't tell you what
to do, but it's okay to say no. And I say,
(14:39):
you know what, now, I remember my mom would always
say she never wanted like I could go out, but
I had a curfew even till I was a like
turned eighteen. I was on Nino two and ol with
like eleven thirty Carvo, Like I would go drop my
friend's OFFI the designated, like you know, I draw with
(15:00):
the raves downtown and be like, oh, I got to
be home at eleven thirty and my mom was always
in the kitchen and she was waiting, like and I
look back and I'm like, that was love. That was
like and she felt like as long as the kids
were over and she created a safe space, then at
least she knew and she could control it totally. That's
how I feel. I'm the fun mom. They all want
(15:22):
to come here. Yeah, they got all the food, the sodas.
We're having fun. They're like talking to me about their
significant others. Why do I say that? You know they're
no girls they're talking to right, And I'm the cool mom.
But I'm also I'm like, my kids are here and
I know where they are.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So anyway, life has just been crazy. It's gone really fast.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think that's good. By the way, Tori, like I
get it all. That's really good. Oh okay, yes, So
like you're making priorities. You're saying, I'm the house where
they all come. If that means that I can't have
it every single thing done because I'm home off every
weekend with ten kids over, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He just made a choice, and that's on a slow night.
But what about Okay, So here's what I did, interrupt you,
But I did for the first time in history, I
did get my tree up before December. First I've never done.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh that was good. So like Thanksgiving weekend or something, Yeah,
mid November. I'm not mad at people that put I'm
not for Christmas decorations in October. But once Halloween is over,
you can start doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You can start doing it. But I used to get mad.
Like my best friend Jess, she is a planner and
she's a mom. She has two kids. She has a
busy life, but she plans things out and like, you know,
fair to say, like you know, she's that human that
the gifts are ordered by August and like things are planned.
And she always says, you would enjoy your holidays so
(16:56):
much more if you would just think ahead. And I
say I can't.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, here's my question on that. So we had jingle
ball right, and we had a pretty cool like jingle
Ball gift room. And between us, I thought the elf
on the shelf stuff was legit, and also the skippity toilets,
and I thought your kids would think those were a hoot.
So I said to you put it in the closet
and then put it under the tree. Wrap it and
put it under the tree. And you're like, no, I can't,
(17:20):
I can't. You just gave it to him right away.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This is a literal conversation to help me out. And
she's like this, Oh my god, give me toilet you have,
like the there foot one. He's gonna boast.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And it was been a perfect gift and all that
elf on the shelf you could have done, all that
stuff did. Why can't you put it, wrap it and
put it under the tree instead of like instant gratification.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, Well the truth is because I didn't want to.
But I just watched Liar Liar with Finn the other night.
He was like, mom, this is a good movie. After
jingle Bar, he was the only one that still up
and he's like, we watched Larry Larry. He had never
seen it. But I feel like lately I'm like lyral Lar,
(18:06):
I just can't lie.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You want to know what is an amazing holiday movie.
It's not just because Joe Jonas is smoking hot. The
Very Jonas Christmas. What No, I'm telling you, The Very
Jonas Christmas is one of the best holiday movies I've
seen in years. It's like, so good, you gotta watch it.
I'm tell you, with the whole fan we love. It's
(18:27):
a musical, it's got jokes, it's got inside jokes, it's
it's so good. There's a love story.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Oh I feel bad that I immediately heard the Jonas and
I judged it what I opened everything. Oh my god,
I'm super psyched. I do love them. But Christmas though,
But okay, he.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Doesn't wrap any of it put under the tree.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
In my defense, Elf on the Shelf homesick today, Elf
on the Shelf, the elves go away after Christmas defeats
the purpose. But I'm just I'm justifying my case here,
like gibbitty toilet and a cat in a criminal case,
skippity toilet I should have done because he opened it
(19:08):
the next day. But by the way, he was bummed,
Like mom, He's like, you were going so long last
night and I feel Mom yelled. I'm like, I'm sorry, buddy,
and I gave it to him and he goes, Mom,
this is the best day of my life.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah. I love when kids say that. We went through
like a one of those lights walking tours and it
was like a in a garden, so it was really
about the plants. But I give it like, because I
like those things. I'd give this one like a six
out of ten, and one of my nieces goes ten
out of ten. It was great at a great time.
So it's like kids love stuff, like meaning doing things.
(19:44):
It doesn't have to be so big. They like like
little things like the Skivvity toilet right listening a Skivvity
toilet is like we don't even know what it is,
but they turned into a toy. Smart and oh with
the toilet toy?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Did I give you the back story? So all at
the gifting suite, I spent time with like all the
people working there, you know, giving you know, because they're
like just giving out free swag and it's so kind
and I'm like, okay, So I started telling him, I'm like,
you don't understand my kids love this. Dylan was his name,
and he's like, I like your energy. I'm like, I
(20:20):
like your energy too, and he goes, no, you're so nice.
I go, thank you, so are you? Thank you for
spending time and laying me rant about it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
He was a young, rude. I'm not one hundred percent
sure he knows that you're like famous. I'm just saying,
I mean, you had a beautiful gown on. So maybe
he thought. This girl's definitely not wearing like you know,
she's she's in work here. She's not wearing jeans and
T shirt like I was.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, it's not like last year when they did the
Forever bracelets and the girl goes, I recognize you, and
I go, oh, thank you. She goes, you're great On
what's the real estate show you're on? She thought I
was selling Sunset. She's not anymore, long hair blonde.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The one that's married to el Musa, Heather el Musa.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Nope, the villain. She was the villain on selling Sunset.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I don't know, but that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Anyone, Chrislle Maybe she's not on it anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, anyway, first of all, it was a good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Reference though she's super hot anyway. Anyway, is making Michael
Bay is making a scivity toilet movie. You see now
I had your attention.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, separately, I was gonna say, between for a thirty
five to sixty year old, you're very famous. For twenty
year old, they're like, who's that lady?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But they're scary movie too, where they love to reference
that I had sex with a star by the way,
and like I'm a meme, Like that's like a big thing.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And dancing with the stars is like humongous.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
True.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now, weren't you on Joey's season.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Joey Yes, the Bachelor Joey one. Yeah, yeah, I love
that man.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Anyway, I digress. We gotta get Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Bay as making the scibity toilet movie, and he sees it.
He did the original Transformers movie as the new generation's Transformers,
and he's going with that vibe. Dylan invited me to
bring the kids to Michael bay studios and get to
yes to see the behind the scenes and them creating this.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, that was bold of Dylan. I hope he knows.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Michael Bay what do you mean we've been texting? Is
this not real?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
No? I think it probably is. I don't know where
he got into deformation. Okay, let's get back to what
I want to talk about, is your first memory, okay,
of the holidays at the Manor, like I know you
like to go. The other house was really where my
(22:47):
growing up memories were. But that's not this episode. This
is the Manner. I want to know if you can
remember the first holidays there and where you like, what
hotel is this?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That house was crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That house was nuts. So the moment we moved into
that house, and I told you it took six years
for it to be built, the moment we moved in
the very first Christmas because my mom had always done
a Christmas Eve party at our old house. Yes, but
it was just like.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Bing Crosby who owned that house before you, some old
timey guy Bing Crosby, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You're right, And then she tore it to the ground
and built it up to be the Manor.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But bing Crosby owned the dirt of the Manor who
owned your other house before you? I thought some other
famous person owned that house. Oh I don't know, So
bing Crosby owned the dirt of the Manor. Why do
we say it like that? Because you said your mom
tore it down and then built it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Back up, So he owned the soil he owned.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The dirt because he didn't own the house because it
was a totally different house, but he owned all that land.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, I mean that house was badass that he had.
But she, yes, tore it to the ground.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Somebody famous owned the house. You had the soil like
soiling greens well on the dirt because he on the land,
and well, yes, he own the house, but like she
tore it down. So I don't want people thinking Ben
Crosbie built the manor your mom did it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I see where you're going, correct, Oh, I wonder what's
buried there that like be Crosby, Like nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Very strange.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But he had crawfish he had like it was like
going through fish like.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh he had the animals, that's.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Right, animals the house like and trees you'd be like
going through the woods.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It was like it was like troop every like before
your mom. Did you go there to see bing Crosby
before your mom tore it down?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
No, he wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How do you know all the animals were there? Someone
told you always saw them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Oh, we were there, like and my mom was looking
at the house. So we got to go with her
and do the walk here and she was assessing whether
the house would work and all that and the land
would work, and they were like, oh, the kids will
love what we have back here. So we got to
go and someone took us.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right back to your first holiday memory at the Manor.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So the house before my mom never threw parties, but
they would have like friends and family, like a small group.
I would say, like thirty people over max twenty maybe
at our old house. The first year at the Manor
started the tradition of the most massive Christmas Eve party.
People still talk about those parties. So it was always
(25:44):
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know it days at our Christmas but like, well
was Captain stubing there? Is what I always ask? Was
it more? It was friends and coworkers, less celebrities?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Right, there were celebrities, and it was interesting. The celebrities
from my perspective, depended on what my dad was doing
at that time.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So whereas before when I was growing up, you know,
there would be like celebrities from the past, like you know, well,
Dean Martin was my godfather, so he would be there
and like it would be like old school celebrities. It
was definitely more like a business transaction with Christmas Eve
at the Manor, because it would be like at the
(26:28):
time it was nine oh two and oho, so you
know all the heads of Fox and right right right right,
you know the heads that ran you know, spelling entertainment,
like right under my dad and everything. And then it
would be like Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, like that's how.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Got it, got it? Okay, So can you describe what
this party was? Just give your free flowing sort of memories,
the food, the decor, were their gifts, like, just give
me the gist of like what what'd I be walking into?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well? First, okay, so you it got more intense every year,
like she added to it. I mean bigger, bigger, bigger.
So I can vividly remember the last one she had
before she sold it, and this was after my dad
had passed. But the first one, I would say, it
(27:21):
was still big. I mean the what we called the
living room and projection room. The screen would come up
on the floor. Yes, those were the two rooms. Mostly
the living room, the piano. She would have a piano
player there at some point. Always uh carollers.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Would come oh okay, cool cool, and.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
The food so there was always caviar and not just
like caviar.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Like okay, gross, sorry so gross.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I love caber so much whatever I was raised that way.
It's not my phone, but it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Was like if you were raised on it? Or is
it gross? That's what I want to know, Like it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Seems so interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
One time I accidentally ate pete and that is the
most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my entire life.
One of my cut I was like a bar mitzvah
and I thought, I don't know what it was, and
it went in my mouth and I was like, I'm
gonna throw up.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
We're a texture person. Then yes, no, it just tastes terrible.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But anyway, keep going.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I mean some say kat food, but whatever, I call
it fine dining. So what other food?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Keep going? I like that? So I bite, did you
have like brie and dough, like those kind of bree bites?
I love that brandberries?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, but massive. So there would always be like seafood towers.
So there would be ice sculptures with like that would
hold her silver, that would have like a big ice
thing inside that would have the caviar. Now the caviar
for people that don't know, I didn't know, I just thought, oh,
everyone knows caviar, and I don't know how much it costs.
(29:08):
Being now that it's like, if I want to buy caviar,
I have to get like the small one, like that's
this big, like tiny, because it's like two hundred dollars.
She had the most massive tins that as soon as
it would get like scooped out a little bit, someone
would come in and change them out. I mean it
must have been like thousands and thousands of dollars worth
of caviar. There were shrimps that were so big to
(29:30):
have these massive like shrimp cocktails on ice crab claws.
There was I mean, bree yes, I feel like but
giants like huge bris rounds, like I don't know where
she get these from, like like it's like flown in
from France.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
This is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
What else?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
So people passing appetizers a buffet are talking.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh yeah, And the same woman would be there every year,
and we all became friends with her, because of course
that's what you know I do. My brother and I
and our friends would like hang out with her. But
she was like she was a heavy poor.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
This is the bartender lady or the caterer chef.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Who is this the server? Oh the server that sounds terrible,
you guys. Whatever she like, We hung out with her
all night. We loved her. We knew who's bread to
butter because she would repour our champagne and even before
we could drink, you know, she would help us out legally,
(30:34):
but yeah, always heavy handed. She would come and like
everybody champagne. People would take champagne and it was like,
you know, probably gomb like, I'm sure something's super fancy.
And she would pass out a tray and she'd be
dressed in you know, black and white in her uniform
and she would pass out a tray and then she
would come by and people would just be talking because
(30:55):
everyone's you know, networking basically at Aaron spelling this Christmas
Eve party, but also like starting to have a lot
of fun too. These parties got nuts because she would
just like, while you were standing there talking, just come
and repoor. So people go wasting these parties every year.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Now when this turned into dancing or more like just chatting, chatting, chatting.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
No chatting, there was okay, my gosh, there was always
a magician came magic sings on the card and here
and I'm going to do this, and you know, the
young people are like, oh my god, wait for it.
The old people were like, whoa, that's amazing. We're like yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Carollers would come towards not the end, but I
(31:38):
would say later into the night. By this point everyone
was feeling loose.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They're a toast moment, Like was there every moment when
Aaron Spelling comes out welcome everybody?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Or is it more just like a fantasy island.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, okay, just more party, party, party.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah. But he was always like he'd be in his slacks.
They were all the time, his slacks. He would be
in his uh, button up white shirt and always a
v neck cashmere sweater, usually in the you know, like
it it'd be red. It was typically red for Christmas,
(32:16):
gray slacks. And my mom would always like color coornd
and like it was always like a fun festive thing.
But my mom would always have like outfits made like
Nolan Miller made and could you.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Pick out whatever you wanted to wear, or was like
candy like hey, Randy and Tory this year we're doing
Laura Ashley and you need to wear neck you know, Okay,
so you could wear whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Right, I mean she becaus have my outfits when I
was younger, but the manner it was a free for all.
But we grew up knowing always dressed cohesive, So.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
You're not going to you're not going to be improper.
This was more I got it.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
But Nolan Miller, the famous designer, Uncle Nolan, he.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Would just said cohesive, so that everybody kind of okay.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Machi was like not a thing like but it was
just like cohesive, cohesive. It wasn't like someone's wearing like
shocking pink and everyone's green. It's like, no, even though
running Redding, green and pink look great together, but this is.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Really the year of the pink Christmas. But anyway, well
I digress. A lot of pink trees, a lot of
pink pink, but anyway, go back to Nolan Miller.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I know you're right. It's because of Wicked.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Right, Yeah, I think you might be right.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well maybe, but hello, like pink and green, o G
Beverly Hills, Like.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I know, I started for pink. I did a pink
and green Christmas this year. Yeah, but not for Wicked
just because No, not for Wicked, just because I liked
I thought, oh, that's fun, whimsical, let's be different. But anyway,
back to Nolan Miller.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
So, Nolan Miller, the designer, he would always, you know,
do my mom's gowns and everything. I just remember was that,
like I was either eighteen or ninety. Have I told
this story before where she had the most a beautiful
tartan like love a tartana me too. So it was
a taff at a time. Oh wow, very very like
(34:10):
early nineties there, yes, and we moved in in what
ninety ninety one?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yep, this is the time.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, so huge skirt, but it was attached. It was
a dress, so it was a collared shirt, white shirt,
you know, cuffs, the whole nine, but attached. So it
was a big dress with a big tartan skirt. And
I just remember my friends and I like, we would
love to like rile my mom. My mom like always
had everything planned because she's always you know, she felt
(34:43):
like at the time and this no longer exists. At
the time early nineties, the woman behind the man, she
was there to represent make sure everything was on point all,
you know, and she's detail oriented, like the food had
to be in circulation constantly she had eyes on everything.
She didn't have assistance running around doing it for it
was always she was like and still you know, anyone
that came through, she'd be like, go to get my dad,
(35:05):
like you know, so and so is here, and he'd
be like, of course, you know, because he'd be having
a conversation and she'd make sure he got up. And
they were really proper hosts, and they taught me a
lot about hosting and making people feel welcome and happy
and joyful.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So tell me about the last one that you remember
without your dad?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Oh? My god? Wait? We do we do this annually?
If I tell all the stories, what are we going
to do next year?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
When your dad passed away? Did she move shortly there after?
Did she stay in the house for a bit? I
know you've told me this, but I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I can't remember either. I mean I feel like she
was there for a bit a year at least a
couple of years.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Wow, couple of.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Years, I think. Okay, I'm not sure exactly. Yeah, but
uh oh, the last one? Wait, do you really want
me to tell a story that I have not? That's
the final story for next year. It's the last year
of the Manor. Okay, let me just say there were I.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Think you should know it.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
There were nutcrackers when you pulled into the circular driveway
where Valet parked. You same place where I got my
first wedding was in that circular driveway that you know,
the helicopters are like, oh my god, like it was
Dynasty on steroids.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, it really was. Because it's way bigger than the
Dynasty mansion.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Way bigger. What would be a current reference, like what
would we say now.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
You mean, like like to compare the Manor to.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Like someone could TV, because even.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
The Dynasty mansion that that's up here in Woodside is
like not anything compared to like how big the Manor was.
Or I don't know because even in like all is
fair with those you know, Kim Kardashian's show, they're like
very low that show. It's like it's really good. I know,
I don't know why everyone was like, oh it's so bad.
It's like not bad at all. It's actually it's my
it's excellent. But nothing even with how rich those people are,
(36:53):
I don't I don't think I can compare. I guess
maybe like a castle.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Like like bigger than any.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Real right, No, I know that's what I'm saying. Like
Prince William, I don't know where he lives. Actually, I
don't think he lives in that big of a place.
And I don't know about King Charles, but I don't
think they. I don't think it's as big as the manner.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh my god, you're comparing it to a palace, like
I'm royalty or something.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
I mean, do they live in that big of a palace?
I don't actually know. I don't know how many square
feet was the manor.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Was that like a young was the matter of thirty feet?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Thirty thousand square feet?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Fifty six thousand? What do you mean fifty.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Six thousand square feet?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I don't even know how long that takes to walk
from one end to the other. That's one of the
things if you get to go there, I want you
to time how long it takes to go from one
end to the other.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Oh, and like rings, the or ring that's on this party?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Is it all indoors? Like you never went outside? I
feel like the grounds of this house were so amazing
that like.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Ever went outside?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh did you ever have an Easter party outside?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Why did we not use the outside.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Ooh, good question. My wedding was outside.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
So I think we've done in the wedding episode, we've
been talking about doing that.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Oh my god, what happened to do it? I'm ready
for it? Yeah, totally yeah, my first marriage. Oh my god.
Oh that was a great party.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Back to the manner. These are all different episodes. We've
got a lot to do in twenty twenty six. Yeah
a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Okay, so yeah, but the whole tented yard and then
Prince Charles party the one.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Sorry, I think I've blocked us out.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What was all? What? What?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think I forgot this?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Prince Charles came the very King Charles now King Charles,
now Prince Charles at the time. He was coming to
La for something and she had never she we had
just moved into the manor not just like somepting. I
was like eighteen and nineteen, and she was like, I have.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Met she.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Candy's spelling.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Oh you met Princess Diana. Okay, wait, so Candy, how
do they even know Prince Charles to be like, hey,
want to come over.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
God. I got to ask my mom the roots of
this story because I don't know. But for some reason
it got out there that my mom had not yet
that we had moved thrown a party, any party yet
at the manor, and she was like it was big news.
The very first party thrown at the legendary now legendary,
(39:35):
newly iconic manner Candy Spelling and Aaron Spelling. We're going
to host Prince Charles and like a big charity thing.
And so they did.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Save it for another episode.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Oh my god, I find.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
All the pictures. Where's all the pictures of all these things?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I have them?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Oh yeah, you need to organize them. Okay, remind me
just like the email I haven't said.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Will send you like that Aaron Spelling museum or something.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Oh wait, what if he wants to do museum stuff
he wants to do people can like come and rent
out and do events. Like what if we asked the
new owner to do an Aaron Spelling museum that's just
like an immersive thing that just runs for a short
period of time.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Great, can you pop up just email? But I think
there should be like an Aaron Spelling museum. And like
there's like two things, a bunch of Melrose plays things,
a bunch of love boat, a bunch of Charlie's Angels,
like there should be totally Look did you see what
they did for Jennifer Garner recreating her growing up kitchen?
They could easily recreate the sets from these shows easily.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I didn't see this. What did I miss?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
You should look at Jennifer Garner's It made me cry
like a baby. It was so good. They rebuilt her
growing up kitchen obviously from like photos, and like, look,
they can do all that stuff. They could totally rebuild
all the shows, Charlie's Angels, the the you know, the
speaker phone, Dynasty stuff, everything, love boat stuff. But you
(41:14):
know what you're.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Talking about, one of those immersive experiences like a light show,
but different where you interact and you go through each
room like Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
All I gotta do is take the Charlie's Angels like anybody,
it's like me.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
We create the set, different rooms, we have actors come
in and play the versions, and people.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Get to it could be anywhere, right, all.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
The decades we moved through, and the final one would
be his final show. I guess seven to seven, and
then I'm realizing it.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Was your dad show. I've also fully blocked.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
This out wait, wait, we have to do this, will
you hope me.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Yeah, it's a big undertaking, but yeah, I know it's
a real you a big one. I know seven seven
that's a whole nother show because there's some I could
do storylines on that show.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah wow, Okay, anyway, came back to that.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
The holidays.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
So the holiday one in the circular driveway, you park
and there are I forget how many.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Steak nutcrackers or real people dressed like nutcrackers.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Fake ones going up the steps, going up the steps.
They were like six feet tall, maybe eight giant.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
It was a fun Boy makes those blow up version now,
but at the time, I'm sure that was quite extravagant.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
But these were plastic, I get it.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I bet they were plastic. I bet there were wood.
No oh, I feel like they were giant wood. Your
mom's not doing plastic like I'm ready to do fun
Boy blow up. Your mom is not doing that. They
were wood nutcrackers. I bet for sure they were not plastic.
They would have like blown over. They were sturdy going up.
(43:04):
I mean maybe they had plastic parts, but like I'm
picturing very sturdy.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Nutcrackers, giant and like one's going up the whole step,
so the entrance you already like had to climb, like
you know, I don't know, thirty steps whatever, twenty Maybe
I'm lying, maybe not that many and traumatic. But crackers
were all lined up outside, and I feel like going
(43:30):
up the steps, but I could be wrong. As you
came in, I feel like someone was there to greet you.
The final party. I'll go back. I wrote about it
all in my book, let me refresh.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
What's your next book going to be?
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Hmmm?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Why don't you write a book about like being a
spelling the good, the bad?
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Because haven't I? I mean, I feel like in all
my books I've told that in my first book storytelling,
it was like me growing up. So I told all
those stories and then had my first child. So I
wonder if those stories are all in my books now,
there's got to be more. I have so many of
them right growing up spelling, but looking at it from
(44:14):
my eyes now, like it's just a whole and evociating
and wanting to finally I feel worthy to kind of
have an idea become my dad.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
What if you and Randy did the book together?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
That is a good idea. That's a great idea. You
haven't done that, Nope, and get the two different perspectives too.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Great call, because we're starting. It's funny you mentioned that,
because he and I are really starting to think about
like the future and the legacy and our children and
what we want to do and represent our father in
a powerful, meaningful way. And we both feel like I'm
not It's not like one apple fell didn't fall far
(44:57):
from the tree. Two apples didn't fall far from the tree.
My brother is creative, genius, you know, he just whyn't
you this? Yeah? Okay, done, but first email, Oh my god,
please remind me.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I'm not going to remind you. Adrian's going to get
you the email, and then you just have to do it,
just do it, all right. So there's more to talk about,
but we've come to the you know.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
I will to leave you on this.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
My mom in that final manner holiday Christmas Eve party
did venture out from the past ones where like the
living room, the conjection room, she had experiences so like
the dining room was turned into something.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
What were these experiences?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Experiences? I'm not like more things like okay, okay, fine.
For instance, our breakfast room which was circular. It's the
one that had this big table that she would push
a button underneath to tell the butler we were done
with our meal. It had a lazy Susan in the middle,
which was like the chicest lazy Susan. But I love
(46:07):
uh and uh, yeah, all of this made anyway. That
room she had turned into the candy room. Oh so
I am in the middle part where that table, and
that used to be in the middle was a huge
table with a train with candy.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
She invented the candy bar. She invented the candy bar.
Oh my god, I kind of think she.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Did, but you know what, that's on brand. My mom
was always ahead of her time with party planning.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
And so you walked in there and you got a
bag and you got to go through all these things
and fill up an entire yeah iconic.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Okay, can you think of one more? I need to know? Like,
was there a magic rail? Yes?
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Oh you want a room? All I remember there was
at this party. There was also a guy going around
with many what are the Oh my gosh, help me.
When we were kids, you can make uh, you can
draw some on it.

I know it was at a Waygo tango. We had
an etch a sketch guy and you got a mini
etcher sketch and he quickly etches sketched a photo of you,
or like a painting of you. Do you want to
breckon etch a sketch? Which I could get my name
written on an etch of sketch.
Speaker 2 (47:41):

called back all these memories because I still so Stella
and Liam were born when I went to this one,
but they were too young to know. I was carrying Stella.
She was a baby shoot. She had just been born
in June. It was Christmas eve, so I was like
carrying her and Liam by my side, and and I
still have her mini etches sketch.
