Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Hi, Hi friends, Wait you know what I just had
last night? What the Jack in the Box Kremlin's meal?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh you know what, that's funny because I thought that
was an old thing. I didn't realize you not, Why
is that why? Because I saw an ad and it
was like Gizmo and a Jack in the Box guy.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But I was just like, Gremlins is one of my
favorite movies. Like I feel like all of your movies
are my favorite movies.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But literally.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I was like, oh my god, I get it in
the primonium, like don't feed him after midnight, like oh
it is the Midnight Muncher.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And I'm like.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You would you would think of sequels coming out right
or like something, but no, there's nothing. There's just a
random casual, you know, promotion for an old movie from
forty years ago.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
That makes it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
The brilliant thing is it's like if you could have
picked every movie you did back then, they're the ones
that today everyone knows and watches again.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Like there is no like old.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's not like everything that's old as new again nostalgia,
Like those are all the movies. Thanks TikTok, Like YouTube,
like everything is back, right you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
See right, Well, some of it, some of it's good.
Some of it maybe we could have left behind there,
but you know, some of it's good. So the stuff
that's good, that's good, coming next. You know what's coming next,
don't you goodies too?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Well? That but no, I mean in.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The world of social media and culture, obviously.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
The nineties, the nineties are coming back next. Yay back?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
What are you talking about? They're back baby?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So you go through the eighties, it's like, don't you
notice that everything's in cycle? Right, It's like the eighties
then like to like what was popular in the eighties,
the sixties. If you remember during the eighties, everything on
MTV was like sixties and like you guys like the
side eyed stuff, and there was a guy who would
walk through the forest and like everything was like psyched.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Parents would be like our generations come back, would be like,
that's so weird your soul exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It was like Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd had top
forty hits and we were.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Just like, what is going on?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This is so strange, ol, this weird old music and
now here we are right and it's all happening again, so.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Everything goes in you know, this kind of weird rotation.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's so wild.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Oh but wait, I do have to finish my story
and tell you with my no no, no no, with my
gremlin's munching. I got an air like a car air freshener.
One side is gizmo and the other side is gremlin.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh that's so cute. I want one, but I won't
eat jack in the box. So how do I get one?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Corey Fulman, I can get one for you?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Could?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Would you allow me? Do you want to?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
You've got connections.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Uh no, I'm going to go eat there and then
just save you. We're fans of fast food and I
have five kids. It's not like we eat it every night,
but you know you have whatever? I like?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
God, are you serious? Wow? Well you look great. Amazing.
That's a miracle. It's a miracle that you actually still
have all.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Your hair and your you know, you're you're you're smiling,
and you're happy.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You have five children. That's amazing, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's a miracle. I have working organs at this exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They literally take everything out of you, all of your nutrients.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They suck you dry, it a miracle. I'm still standing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes it is, Yes, it is so congratulations on that.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That is quite a feat. Quite a feat.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I mean, isn't that like more important and core
than anything you could ever achieve in this business?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Right? Just like that life and being able to see
them through and all that kind of stuff. But I
do have to give you a really weird word. I
hold your oldest.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Kid now a warning.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I hold your oldest kid eighteen. Yeah, I can
still warn you because mine's story one. It doesn't get easier.
This is the weird thing.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
The weird thing is you think that when they turn eighteen,
you're done right, Like, okay, I did my eighteen years.
I was responsible. I got them to the point of respontable.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I got them father's mentality. I do not think that
I want mine to live at home forever.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well yeah, okay, well that's definitely not every father or mother,
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But that's said.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, it's like this thing of like you just kind
of feel like they're eighteen.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They can go on, they can do their thing, they
can live their life. I got them this far.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They didn't get arrested, they didn't go to jail, they
didn't kill anybody. They I didn't get a call from
the principal.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Thing.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Your son is the worst thing, you know what I mean?
So like, yeah, I did good.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then all of a sudden they start rebelling at
eighteen and you have no control anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh, I see your point now.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, my eighteen year old, even though he doesn't have
to technically ask me things, he still does, which I
really am grateful for.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like he wants to get his first tattoo, but he
asked me, and I was like, that's really cool, Like.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
That's very sweet, that's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, And my kid was that way up until eighteen.
But and then right after he turned eighteen where he
got this leg. I am off onto the world and
this is my adventure.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You're just coming along for the ride.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And how many kids do you have? Just one?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
There's one, that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So do you think you guys will have kids together?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh? No, no, no, we're not. We're she's only twenty five.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
First of all, very I understand this.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, no, we're still at the beginning phase of this
worse let's yeah, way too fast.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, hi, he Adrian answered that question. Please, it's not
in my cards right now.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, I'm not interested.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I like the way she put that better.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, well, ladylike, you know, there's the difference between man's
plating and lady like.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, there always is. Yeah, exactly, he said.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She said, it's never gonna change.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, well, one day, you guys would make beautiful babies.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh well, that's very sweet of you to say thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, except I'm like an older mom. So though, like
my so, I have eighteen, seventeen, fourteen, thirteen, and an
eight year old. The first four had the best years
of my life, and by the time I had my
fifth one, I'm just like, I'm fifty two this year,
so I'm like, ooh, just do it yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Like I'm just too tired.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Right right, No, I mean it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And here's the thing, though, I actually am that guy
that wants to have a new kid when I'm sixty.
I am looking forward to that one day. So I'm
not saying I'm done by any stretch. I'm just saying
right now, in particular, for me, is not the best
time to be talking about that, because I'm going through
a really ugly divorce. It's not pretty, and you know
(07:13):
it's been all for the news. I'm sure you know,
but it's not fun.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
And so there's that, and then.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Like's not fun.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I just went through a divorce and mine was remarkably easy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So I'm so sorry, bless you for that. Let me
tell you my first two weren't bad. My second one,
you know, with with you know, a child. Thank god,
she was smart enough to know that, like, we best
served each other being good parents and having a good
family unit no matter what. And we were both able
to raise him equally and influence him. And we're still
(07:44):
very good friends and very close and all of that,
and that's the way it should be.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, you know, Yeah, so I prefer it.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And then what happened with the third.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, well, you know, sometimes you get you get blindsided,
is what I would say. Sometimes you get blindsided. I
would have never known. I was with that woman for
twelve years. Twelve years, and I thought we were solid
as a rock.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So sometimes it's always those yeah, in different ways in
life and relationships.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'm not talking about March.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, but it's the one that you expect to be
the like, the least problematic or yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
And that can be in a friendship in a working relationship.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yes, yes, exactly wild.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But it was supposed to be part of your journey
in life. And if I guess happened and gone wrong,
you guys wouldn't be here today.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's exactly right. And you know, everything happens for a reason.
So there you have it, but on to brighter pastures.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So we don't have an exciting story like how we met,
but that happened, and what happened in the interim is
the fact that I met this talented and beautiful young
lady who just needed some help, you know, just needed
like a handout of like, let me get you to
the right place in life, get you started, because so
(09:02):
much talent, so inspiring, so incredible, and you know, and
unfortunately I had gotten pretty beaten down by society and
bullies and people telling her she wasn't good enough and
she couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Da da da da.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And I was like, what are you talking about? She's like,
I'm too old on this, and I'm like, too.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Old five years old?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Like you have your whole life in front of you,
are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So when did you start singing?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I started singing in like elementary school for fun. I
enjoyed it, and I knew that I could do it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So did you entruly experiences at church?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Okay, yes, I mean the church, but that came later
when I was like twelve, I started, like, you know,
kindergarten singing in the school chorus and so.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, yeah, where are you from?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I love your accent?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's like beautifully they're not there. It's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's like there's something very cute about it, like innocent, yeah,
and sweet and kind of like we love that in
La because it's like so the opposite, right.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, but there's something ethereal and strong about it, quietly
strong about it as well.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Your voice, I agree. I agree. Well have you heard
her singing yet? I have. She's got a very powerful voice,
very powerful and people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I told her, I went down the rabbit hole of
her instagram when you were first coming Dancing.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
With the Stars, like before we ever.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Thought we'd have this interview. Yeah, I was way more
focused on her Instagram than yours.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Prom I'm used to it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It's okay, but I thought there because Chopliver and called
me chop Liiver.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh god, I love chop liver.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Oh you do well, there you go, see your winds
on you lose them?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Sorry I interrupted you. What were the bullying situations that
you encountered? Because you just.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Never know, like on the exterior, like look at you,
You're so gorgeous, and I'm like, who would bully this human?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But I know now it's happening now, I mean didn't
happen before you met Corey?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It did, Yeah, it didn't get.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It worse now though, right, I get it worse now
for people are haters.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, all, yes, go on? Sorry, Oh wait, can I
say in front of you?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I think my bullies kind of came from school in
the church that I attended. You know, I just I
got called ugly.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I got caught and you know, I was told that
I was annoying and that I couldn't sing and that
I would never be anything, and it was just stuff
like that.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Could you imagine going this girl ugly? I mean, like
what now? So stupid? So stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But you know, all the beautiful people get it, so
it's not surprising.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I have this thing that I equate it to. I
call it the ugly duckling. Syndrome.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And what I found is that most beautiful people, not
just women, beautiful men too, but beautiful men, beautiful women
in life get bullied in school because we don't know
that we're attractive, right. We think that it's true when
they say we're fat, or we're ugly or with this,
or that.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We believe it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Because we don't have any other opinion to base it
on other than that you're so young, right, and these
kids tell you this and you believe it, and you're like, okay, well,
then that's how it is, and you don't realize until
later in life that you are being picked on because
you're attractive because you look different than the rest, and
that's actually why they're beating you up. And once you
come to terms with this at some point hopefully in life,
(12:50):
then it's like the ugly Dougling syndrome because you realize, no,
you're actually that beautiful swan who needs to develop and
needs to come out of their shell and be proud
of themselves for.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But it's very hard because you've got all this poison
that's been kind of saturated into you since you were
very young.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Telling you a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh my god, you guys need to write a children's.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Book, you know, a really cool one, like a really
artsy sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Anyway you want, you want to help us publish it?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Sure, I'm a really good idea person.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Good can help us make it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So when I think of it, I just say it,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, oh my gosh, Like it's such an inspiration, like
because I'm watching, unfortunately my kids go through it. I mean, Corey,
you and I went through it as kids, like living
our lives very out loud and being slammed like it was.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Didn't have a choice either, just like me. You didn't
have a choice. You were raised into it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah yeah, and I just didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But you can't unhear words I tell my kids within
the house because there's five siblings, and don't be joking
about stuff. And I'm getting on them about you know,
it's not even bad up, but like, oh you look
this cartoon character. You look like that da da da,
And it's like be careful once you say words.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And of visuals created like.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
People can't unsee it and it takes them down and
we're only human.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah cool, it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sticks with you forever those words like yeah, and it.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Hurts you forever.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And so the point is is that you know, obviously
she went through all that pain, she grew up, she
became the beautiful Swan. And we meet and she tells
me about it, and I'm like, oh, don't don't you know,
worry about those people. Those people are in your past.
You don't have to worry about them anymore. And then
we start dating. I hear her voice, I start developing her,
and then of course as student, as I start putting
her out there, the trolls that abuse me go and
(14:43):
start trying to abuse her as well. And so she's like,
oh great, here we go. Now I get to deal
with it all over again. I'm like, honey, I got
news for you. Whether you came up through me or not,
no matter what, you're going to get abused. If you're
a celebrity and you're beautiful and you're putting yourself out
there as an artist.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's just kind of what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm curious why, and you keep using that word, you
keep saying abuse. Why is that the first word that
comes to mind?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Because it is abusive?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It is absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I mean I mean people, you can be abused about
all sorts of levels, right, physical, mental, emotional, sexual. I mean,
there's all sorts of abuse, and then we abuse ourselves
on top of it, right, So the whole idea is
to lessen the abuse, to learn how to love, to
learn how to respect, to learn how to give people
the same feeling that you would want from them, you
(15:33):
know self empathy, yes, empathy and compassion, all of that
kind of stuff. It's very important and humility, and it's
very hard for people to learn. So yeah, I do
like to pinpoint it so that you can call it
out for what it is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I really like that did when you first were together. Okay,
so what came first? The chicken or the egg?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
So yeah, I guess the egg. No so.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
No, so so basically still we started dating, right, we
started dating, and it was about two weeks into just
kind of casual dating that she played me her demos
and it was just kind of like a casual thing, like.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Oh, this is what I want to do. I want
to you know, grow up and be a singer.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
She was twenty three nervous to play it for him.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Not really, No, I don't think she realized what what
would happen? I don't think she realized like all of
this is going to come out of it. She just thought, Oh,
I'm just playing this guy I like some music, you
know sort of thing, and uh. And then I was like,
oh my god, listen to your voice. Your voice is incredible.
I need to get you in the studio. And she's like, okay,
So I.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Think I did like a little bit of demo work
with her.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I put her on a background vocal on one of
my songs first to see how she's sound.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And she was to work with and it was easy.
And then I was like, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Know what, since you're here and I'm getting ready to
go on this big giant arena tour, usually, come be
my background vocalist on a you know tour with like
forty thousand people every night, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
And she's like, uh, yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, I talk about like throwing her into the wolves,
you know, like yeah, se man. So yeah, her first
gig was like literally playing an arena. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It wasn't church anymore, was it.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah. So she got to do that every day for
you know, this summer. And then when we came back
we started developing the records.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Oh my god, you guys are so cool together.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Thank you. You're very sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
No, no, no, I just like your whole energy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Sorry, obviously I've watched interviews and seen things, but like
your vibes are very cool. So we what's next? I
was just told today because I'm old and I don't
know music. Well, don't judge me. I know it's part
of your world.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
What an EP was? I didn't know what it was?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Are you serious? Really?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
EP? In my world, I was like executive producer, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Extended play.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So there's an LP, which is long play, and an
extended play which is kind of like a mini album.
So basically, my label, you know, we've they My label
has been built and existed just to put out my music,
my material, which.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
We started to create your own label.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Correct, So it's called Sci Fi Records, sipe By Records,
Big C, Little I, Bigs, Little I and I created
that in two thousand and nine to put out my band,
Truth Movement's second album, and then I've released every album
of mine under that.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Label ever since, and that was really all I was.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Therefore, it was just an avenue for me to get
my own stuff out in a kind of broader way.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
And we went and did a deal with Sony, which
was really cool. So Sony does my distribution, and then
we were like, you know, maybe we could expand our horizons.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
So I built into the Sony deal the option to
develop other artists. CASE just kind of put it there
as an option, didn't do anything with it for ten
years or something, five years, and.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Then all of a sudden, you know, I heard her
voice and I was like, you're it.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You're the one, Like, you're the one that I think
I need to branch out and open up my labels
to other artists, and you should be the first artist
on my label.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
And that's how it happened. So we started with the demos.
I started producing writing her music.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
She played me these demos which were fantastic, and I
was like, this stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Is so good.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's so powerful, the lyrics are great, the vocals are great.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
We just need to get you some real music.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So, because she was like kind of borrowing beats off
YouTube and stuff like that, so I wrote all the
music from scratch with my partner Greg. We sat down,
we produced it for her, We laid it all out,
we presented it to her.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
She loved it. We got her in, we did all
our vocals.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And after we got one or two good songs and
we liked them, we just kept going. So we have
a whole half of them an album there, and you know,
for a brand new, breakout artist, she's already got over
five thousand streams on Spotify, which is pretty exciting for
a brand new artist, you know, who's never done anything.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So that was exciting.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We released it and then at the same time, as
you said, I was on Dancing with the Stars still
am because I have to do the finale show.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
To ask you about that next going.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, but we also put out an EP of mine
right before. So the reason, like, so the whole Dancing
with the Stars thing, let me just go into that
for a second. The reason why there was all these
rumors like, oh, Corey wasn't there. Corey didn't care, he wasn't,
you know, taking it seriously all this stuff was going on.
I was like, what are you talking about. I was
there seven days a week, seven days a week. So
(20:40):
when I agreed to do that show, I had already
had my next three months planned, which was we had
my EP flated and scheduled for release, my next single
and videos flated and scheduled for release. Her single scheduled
for release, her EP scheduled for release, and on top
of all that, I had to move, and the move
(21:00):
had happened.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
On September fourth. The show started live.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
September sixteenth, So all the weeks leading up to the
show's premiere, I'm boxing and packing and moving and running
to rehearsal and running back.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
But wait, it gets better.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Every such PTSD okay, yes, right.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Every weekend that was supposed to be like extra days
to rehearse. I had conventions booked, So I had a
convention book that first September weekend and the third weekend
in September so book ended between my appearances.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's not all doable.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
It's not doable, right, But I was contracted so I
couldn't get around.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
And then all of a sudden, these things start coming
out on the press, thing that I'm like not taking
it seriously, and then I'm not doing my part, and
I'm like, I am working in my balls off?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Are you kidding me? Like I've never worked harder for
anything in my life. Everybody on the show was really nice.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Every really nice.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Right, you're great?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, really are?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I didn't have one.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
There was not one negative thing I could say about
anybody on the show.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Jenna and I got along great.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Everybody there was super nice, super professional. There was no
negativity on that set at all.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And the cast gets close really quick. Yeah, you're all
there together rehearsal.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Go to these parties together, and you see each other
at the rehearsal space. Yeah, it's your day going, oh good,
I got this injury.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Oh man, Yeah you gotta work on that, or yeah, okay,
let's help with this, or you know, I mean you
just kind of become like a little bit of a family.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, because you have an injury, we all.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Give each other gifts.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I had a minor, minor injury, but nothing serious, nothing
serious like there. But but you know, like Andy was
wearing knee brace is like from days right the first
time I saw him, you had these two knee braces.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I was like, oh my god, I figured he'd be
out first. He's, you know, walking around with knee.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Braces eight weeks like our six weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh my gosh, were you s Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, he was a fan favorite.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What can you say?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I know, and I love Andy.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
He's such a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So you're going back to the finale on Dancing with
the Stars, so.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Happened tomorrow night. It's very exciting. I've been back in there.
I've been back in the ballroom. I've been rehearsing, I've
been training. I will dance. You'll see it all. Can
we get off? It starts for one spelling find fun.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, we don't want to get canceled. All these years
in this business. We've gone on this long.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
The spelling legacy, which is that I don't know if
you know this, but I work for your dad as
a kid.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I don't love that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I know, I know, it's so cute. So he was
a really sweet man, at least to me. I don't
know what he was like as a dad, but he
was really sweet.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He was really sweet and loved his actors and actresses
so much.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Like Yeah, he was very fit, very genuine.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So anyway, I just wanted to say that, you know,
we we're like minded. We have a we have a
common ground, a common denominator, which is that we both
you know, had that experience with your dad. Obviously he
was your dad, but for me he was just a boss.
But he was a very nice boss and a very
nice man. And you know, so we have that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Oh my gosh, thank you really quick. I just have
to tell you the three top things that I love you.
And I know it's from the past, but so goonies.
Goonies never say, I don't know it was. It was
the first like kids movie I saw in the theater,
like with I was twelve.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Would that be right?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
That's about right.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I was twelve. I was in Las Vegas. My dad
was filming his show in Vegas. That's where we went
for the summer. So I was in Las Vegas and
like my brother and I, our nannies took us.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
What do you do with kids then? Now? There's stuff
to do with kids, not back then.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And I saw the Goonies in the theater and just
became my lifelong Like you guys, I.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Mean if we if we do this sequel, we'll bring
you on the set. How about that? What?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
My so, my dad, Aaron Spelling, was really really good
friends with Steven Spielberg, like they forever. They ended up
doing one movie together, I think in their career called
twelve o'clock High.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Which didn't do well, but really good friends.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I remember one day I walked into his bedroom and
he was on the phone with him and he was
telling him like, oh my god, my kid loves Goonies.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
He got off the phone, he goes, so he goes.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Uncle Stephen says, if they ever make a Goonies too, babe,
they're gonna put.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You in it.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh wow, well good.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I'm like, I haven't seen him since my dad passed.
Do I remind him of that?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
When he will remind him, I'll remind him. I'll remind
him that you reminded me, and then I'll remind him.
But then i'd have to talk to him, which I
haven't seen him in like ten years, but.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Apparently in a freezer.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I mean we did.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We did the Zoom call reunions, right, which was like
two years ago, so I saw him then, but they
were you know, it was over Zoom. But anyway, the
rumor is it's supposed to be us. We have not
seen a script yet, so we don't know. But I
heard they've they've delivered the first edition and approved it.
They're working on a second draft right now, so we'll
see what happens. But if it really happens and we
(26:05):
end up doing it, I will definitely put in a
good word.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Thank you. I love you both. Thank you for doing this,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Okay, bye bye,
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Hi, Hi friends, Wait you know what I just had
last night? What the Jack in the Box Kremlin's meal?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh you know what, that's funny because I thought that
was an old thing. I didn't realize you not, Why
is that why? Because I saw an ad and it
was like Gizmo and a Jack in the Box guy.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But I was just like, Gremlins is one of my
favorite movies. Like I feel like all of your movies
are my favorite movies.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But literally.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I was like, oh my god, I get it in
the primonium, like don't feed him after midnight, like oh
it is the Midnight Muncher.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And I'm like.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You would you would think of sequels coming out right
or like something, but no, there's nothing. There's just a
random casual, you know, promotion for an old movie from
forty years ago.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
That makes it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
The brilliant thing is it's like if you could have
picked every movie you did back then, they're the ones
that today everyone knows and watches again.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Like there is no like old.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's not like everything that's old as new again nostalgia,
Like those are all the movies. Thanks TikTok, Like YouTube,
like everything is back, right you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
See right, Well, some of it, some of it's good.
Some of it maybe we could have left behind there,
but you know, some of it's good. So the stuff
that's good, that's good, coming next. You know what's coming next,
don't you goodies too?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Well? That but no, I mean in.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The world of social media and culture, obviously.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
The nineties, the nineties are coming back next. Yay back?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
What are you talking about? They're back baby?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So you go through the eighties, it's like, don't you
notice that everything's in cycle? Right, It's like the eighties
then like to like what was popular in the eighties,
the sixties. If you remember during the eighties, everything on
MTV was like sixties and like you guys like the
side eyed stuff, and there was a guy who would
walk through the forest and like everything was like psyched.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Parents would be like our generations come back, would be like,
that's so weird your soul exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It was like Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd had top
forty hits and we were.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Just like, what is going on?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This is so strange, ol, this weird old music and
now here we are right and it's all happening again, so.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Everything goes in you know, this kind of weird rotation.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's so wild.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Oh but wait, I do have to finish my story
and tell you with my no no, no no, with my
gremlin's munching. I got an air like a car air freshener.
One side is gizmo and the other side is gremlin.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh that's so cute. I want one, but I won't
eat jack in the box. So how do I get one?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Corey Fulman, I can get one for you?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Could?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Would you allow me? Do you want to?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
You've got connections.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Uh no, I'm going to go eat there and then
just save you. We're fans of fast food and I
have five kids. It's not like we eat it every night,
but you know you have whatever? I like?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
God, are you serious? Wow? Well you look great. Amazing.
That's a miracle. It's a miracle that you actually still
have all.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Your hair and your you know, you're you're you're smiling,
and you're happy.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You have five children. That's amazing, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's a miracle. I have working organs at this exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They literally take everything out of you, all of your nutrients.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They suck you dry, it a miracle. I'm still standing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes it is, Yes, it is so congratulations on that.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That is quite a feat. Quite a feat.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I mean, isn't that like more important and core
than anything you could ever achieve in this business?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Right? Just like that life and being able to see
them through and all that kind of stuff. But I
do have to give you a really weird word. I
hold your oldest.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Kid now a warning.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I hold your oldest kid eighteen. Yeah, I can
still warn you because mine's story one. It doesn't get easier.
This is the weird thing.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
The weird thing is you think that when they turn eighteen,
you're done right, Like, okay, I did my eighteen years.
I was responsible. I got them to the point of respontable.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I got them father's mentality. I do not think that
I want mine to live at home forever.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well yeah, okay, well that's definitely not every father or mother,
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But that's said.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, it's like this thing of like you just kind
of feel like they're eighteen.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They can go on, they can do their thing, they
can live their life. I got them this far.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They didn't get arrested, they didn't go to jail, they
didn't kill anybody. They I didn't get a call from
the principal.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Thing.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Your son is the worst thing, you know what I mean?
So like, yeah, I did good.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then all of a sudden they start rebelling at
eighteen and you have no control anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh, I see your point now.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, my eighteen year old, even though he doesn't have
to technically ask me things, he still does, which I
really am grateful for.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like he wants to get his first tattoo, but he
asked me, and I was like, that's really cool, Like.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
That's very sweet, that's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, And my kid was that way up until eighteen.
But and then right after he turned eighteen where he
got this leg. I am off onto the world and
this is my adventure.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You're just coming along for the ride.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And how many kids do you have? Just one?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
There's one, that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So do you think you guys will have kids together?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh? No, no, no, we're not. We're she's only twenty five.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
First of all, very I understand this.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, no, we're still at the beginning phase of this
worse let's yeah, way too fast.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, hi, he Adrian answered that question. Please, it's not
in my cards right now.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, I'm not interested.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I like the way she put that better.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, well, ladylike, you know, there's the difference between man's
plating and lady like.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, there always is. Yeah, exactly, he said.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She said, it's never gonna change.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, well, one day, you guys would make beautiful babies.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh well, that's very sweet of you to say thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, except I'm like an older mom. So though, like
my so, I have eighteen, seventeen, fourteen, thirteen, and an
eight year old. The first four had the best years
of my life, and by the time I had my
fifth one, I'm just like, I'm fifty two this year,
so I'm like, ooh, just do it yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Like I'm just too tired.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Right right, No, I mean it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And here's the thing, though, I actually am that guy
that wants to have a new kid when I'm sixty.
I am looking forward to that one day. So I'm
not saying I'm done by any stretch. I'm just saying
right now, in particular, for me, is not the best
time to be talking about that, because I'm going through
a really ugly divorce. It's not pretty, and you know
(07:13):
it's been all for the news. I'm sure you know,
but it's not fun.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
And so there's that, and then.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Like's not fun.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I just went through a divorce and mine was remarkably easy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So I'm so sorry, bless you for that. Let me
tell you my first two weren't bad. My second one,
you know, with with you know, a child. Thank god,
she was smart enough to know that, like, we best
served each other being good parents and having a good
family unit no matter what. And we were both able
to raise him equally and influence him. And we're still
(07:44):
very good friends and very close and all of that,
and that's the way it should be.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, you know, Yeah, so I prefer it.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And then what happened with the third.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, well, you know, sometimes you get you get blindsided,
is what I would say. Sometimes you get blindsided. I
would have never known. I was with that woman for
twelve years. Twelve years, and I thought we were solid
as a rock.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So sometimes it's always those yeah, in different ways in
life and relationships.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'm not talking about March.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, but it's the one that you expect to be
the like, the least problematic or yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
And that can be in a friendship in a working relationship.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yes, yes, exactly wild.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But it was supposed to be part of your journey
in life. And if I guess happened and gone wrong,
you guys wouldn't be here today.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's exactly right. And you know, everything happens for a reason.
So there you have it, but on to brighter pastures.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So we don't have an exciting story like how we met,
but that happened, and what happened in the interim is
the fact that I met this talented and beautiful young
lady who just needed some help, you know, just needed
like a handout of like, let me get you to
the right place in life, get you started, because so
(09:02):
much talent, so inspiring, so incredible, and you know, and
unfortunately I had gotten pretty beaten down by society and
bullies and people telling her she wasn't good enough and
she couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Da da da da.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And I was like, what are you talking about? She's like,
I'm too old on this, and I'm like, too.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Old five years old?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Like you have your whole life in front of you,
are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So when did you start singing?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I started singing in like elementary school for fun. I
enjoyed it, and I knew that I could do it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So did you entruly experiences at church?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Okay, yes, I mean the church, but that came later
when I was like twelve, I started, like, you know,
kindergarten singing in the school chorus and so.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, yeah, where are you from?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I love your accent?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's like beautifully they're not there. It's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's like there's something very cute about it, like innocent, yeah,
and sweet and kind of like we love that in
La because it's like so the opposite, right.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, but there's something ethereal and strong about it, quietly
strong about it as well.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Your voice, I agree. I agree. Well have you heard
her singing yet? I have. She's got a very powerful voice,
very powerful and people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I told her, I went down the rabbit hole of
her instagram when you were first coming Dancing.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
With the Stars, like before we ever.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Thought we'd have this interview. Yeah, I was way more
focused on her Instagram than yours.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Prom I'm used to it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It's okay, but I thought there because Chopliver and called
me chop Liiver.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh god, I love chop liver.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Oh you do well, there you go, see your winds
on you lose them?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Sorry I interrupted you. What were the bullying situations that
you encountered? Because you just.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Never know, like on the exterior, like look at you,
You're so gorgeous, and I'm like, who would bully this human?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But I know now it's happening now, I mean didn't
happen before you met Corey?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It did, Yeah, it didn't get.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It worse now though, right, I get it worse now
for people are haters.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, all, yes, go on? Sorry, Oh wait, can I
say in front of you?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I think my bullies kind of came from school in
the church that I attended. You know, I just I
got called ugly.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I got caught and you know, I was told that
I was annoying and that I couldn't sing and that
I would never be anything, and it was just stuff
like that.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Could you imagine going this girl ugly? I mean, like
what now? So stupid? So stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But you know, all the beautiful people get it, so
it's not surprising.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I have this thing that I equate it to. I
call it the ugly duckling. Syndrome.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And what I found is that most beautiful people, not
just women, beautiful men too, but beautiful men, beautiful women
in life get bullied in school because we don't know
that we're attractive, right. We think that it's true when
they say we're fat, or we're ugly or with this,
or that.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We believe it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Because we don't have any other opinion to base it
on other than that you're so young, right, and these
kids tell you this and you believe it, and you're like, okay, well,
then that's how it is, and you don't realize until
later in life that you are being picked on because
you're attractive because you look different than the rest, and
that's actually why they're beating you up. And once you
come to terms with this at some point hopefully in life,
(12:50):
then it's like the ugly Dougling syndrome because you realize, no,
you're actually that beautiful swan who needs to develop and
needs to come out of their shell and be proud
of themselves for.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But it's very hard because you've got all this poison
that's been kind of saturated into you since you were
very young.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Telling you a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh my god, you guys need to write a children's.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Book, you know, a really cool one, like a really
artsy sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Anyway you want, you want to help us publish it?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Sure, I'm a really good idea person.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Good can help us make it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So when I think of it, I just say it,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, oh my gosh, Like it's such an inspiration, like
because I'm watching, unfortunately my kids go through it. I mean, Corey,
you and I went through it as kids, like living
our lives very out loud and being slammed like it was.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Didn't have a choice either, just like me. You didn't
have a choice. You were raised into it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah yeah, and I just didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But you can't unhear words I tell my kids within
the house because there's five siblings, and don't be joking
about stuff. And I'm getting on them about you know,
it's not even bad up, but like, oh you look
this cartoon character. You look like that da da da,
And it's like be careful once you say words.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And of visuals created like.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
People can't unsee it and it takes them down and
we're only human.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah cool, it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sticks with you forever those words like yeah, and it.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Hurts you forever.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And so the point is is that you know, obviously
she went through all that pain, she grew up, she
became the beautiful Swan. And we meet and she tells
me about it, and I'm like, oh, don't don't you know,
worry about those people. Those people are in your past.
You don't have to worry about them anymore. And then
we start dating. I hear her voice, I start developing her,
and then of course as student, as I start putting
her out there, the trolls that abuse me go and
(14:43):
start trying to abuse her as well. And so she's like,
oh great, here we go. Now I get to deal
with it all over again. I'm like, honey, I got
news for you. Whether you came up through me or not,
no matter what, you're going to get abused. If you're
a celebrity and you're beautiful and you're putting yourself out
there as an artist.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's just kind of what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm curious why, and you keep using that word, you
keep saying abuse. Why is that the first word that
comes to mind?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Because it is abusive?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It is absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I mean I mean people, you can be abused about
all sorts of levels, right, physical, mental, emotional, sexual. I mean,
there's all sorts of abuse, and then we abuse ourselves
on top of it, right, So the whole idea is
to lessen the abuse, to learn how to love, to
learn how to respect, to learn how to give people
the same feeling that you would want from them, you
(15:33):
know self empathy, yes, empathy and compassion, all of that
kind of stuff. It's very important and humility, and it's
very hard for people to learn. So yeah, I do
like to pinpoint it so that you can call it
out for what it is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I really like that did when you first were together. Okay,
so what came first? The chicken or the egg?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
So yeah, I guess the egg. No so.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
No, so so basically still we started dating, right, we
started dating, and it was about two weeks into just
kind of casual dating that she played me her demos
and it was just kind of like a casual thing, like.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Oh, this is what I want to do. I want
to you know, grow up and be a singer.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
She was twenty three nervous to play it for him.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Not really, No, I don't think she realized what what
would happen? I don't think she realized like all of
this is going to come out of it. She just thought, Oh,
I'm just playing this guy I like some music, you
know sort of thing, and uh. And then I was like,
oh my god, listen to your voice. Your voice is incredible.
I need to get you in the studio. And she's like, okay,
So I.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Think I did like a little bit of demo work
with her.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I put her on a background vocal on one of
my songs first to see how she's sound.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And she was to work with and it was easy.
And then I was like, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Know what, since you're here and I'm getting ready to
go on this big giant arena tour, usually, come be
my background vocalist on a you know tour with like
forty thousand people every night, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
And she's like, uh, yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, I talk about like throwing her into the wolves,
you know, like yeah, se man. So yeah, her first
gig was like literally playing an arena. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It wasn't church anymore, was it.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah. So she got to do that every day for
you know, this summer. And then when we came back
we started developing the records.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Oh my god, you guys are so cool together.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Thank you. You're very sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
No, no, no, I just like your whole energy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Sorry, obviously I've watched interviews and seen things, but like
your vibes are very cool. So we what's next? I
was just told today because I'm old and I don't
know music. Well, don't judge me. I know it's part
of your world.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
What an EP was? I didn't know what it was?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Are you serious? Really?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
EP? In my world, I was like executive producer, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Extended play.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So there's an LP, which is long play, and an
extended play which is kind of like a mini album.
So basically, my label, you know, we've they My label
has been built and existed just to put out my music,
my material, which.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
We started to create your own label.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Correct, So it's called Sci Fi Records, sipe By Records,
Big C, Little I, Bigs, Little I and I created
that in two thousand and nine to put out my band,
Truth Movement's second album, and then I've released every album
of mine under that.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Label ever since, and that was really all I was.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Therefore, it was just an avenue for me to get
my own stuff out in a kind of broader way.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
And we went and did a deal with Sony, which
was really cool. So Sony does my distribution, and then
we were like, you know, maybe we could expand our horizons.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
So I built into the Sony deal the option to
develop other artists. CASE just kind of put it there
as an option, didn't do anything with it for ten
years or something, five years, and.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Then all of a sudden, you know, I heard her
voice and I was like, you're it.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You're the one, Like, you're the one that I think
I need to branch out and open up my labels
to other artists, and you should be the first artist
on my label.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
And that's how it happened. So we started with the demos.
I started producing writing her music.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
She played me these demos which were fantastic, and I
was like, this stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Is so good.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's so powerful, the lyrics are great, the vocals are great.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
We just need to get you some real music.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So, because she was like kind of borrowing beats off
YouTube and stuff like that, so I wrote all the
music from scratch with my partner Greg. We sat down,
we produced it for her, We laid it all out,
we presented it to her.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
She loved it. We got her in, we did all
our vocals.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And after we got one or two good songs and
we liked them, we just kept going. So we have
a whole half of them an album there, and you know,
for a brand new, breakout artist, she's already got over
five thousand streams on Spotify, which is pretty exciting for
a brand new artist, you know, who's never done anything.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So that was exciting.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We released it and then at the same time, as
you said, I was on Dancing with the Stars still
am because I have to do the finale show.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
To ask you about that next going.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, but we also put out an EP of mine
right before. So the reason, like, so the whole Dancing
with the Stars thing, let me just go into that
for a second. The reason why there was all these
rumors like, oh, Corey wasn't there. Corey didn't care, he wasn't,
you know, taking it seriously all this stuff was going on.
I was like, what are you talking about. I was
there seven days a week, seven days a week. So
(20:40):
when I agreed to do that show, I had already
had my next three months planned, which was we had
my EP flated and scheduled for release, my next single
and videos flated and scheduled for release. Her single scheduled
for release, her EP scheduled for release, and on top
of all that, I had to move, and the move
(21:00):
had happened.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
On September fourth. The show started live.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
September sixteenth, So all the weeks leading up to the
show's premiere, I'm boxing and packing and moving and running
to rehearsal and running back.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
But wait, it gets better.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Every such PTSD okay, yes, right.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Every weekend that was supposed to be like extra days
to rehearse. I had conventions booked, So I had a
convention book that first September weekend and the third weekend
in September so book ended between my appearances.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's not all doable.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
It's not doable, right, But I was contracted so I
couldn't get around.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
And then all of a sudden, these things start coming
out on the press, thing that I'm like not taking
it seriously, and then I'm not doing my part, and
I'm like, I am working in my balls off?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Are you kidding me? Like I've never worked harder for
anything in my life. Everybody on the show was really nice.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Every really nice.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Right, you're great?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, really are?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I didn't have one.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
There was not one negative thing I could say about
anybody on the show.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Jenna and I got along great.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Everybody there was super nice, super professional. There was no
negativity on that set at all.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And the cast gets close really quick. Yeah, you're all
there together rehearsal.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Go to these parties together, and you see each other
at the rehearsal space. Yeah, it's your day going, oh good,
I got this injury.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Oh man, Yeah you gotta work on that, or yeah, okay,
let's help with this, or you know, I mean you
just kind of become like a little bit of a family.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, because you have an injury, we all.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Give each other gifts.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I had a minor, minor injury, but nothing serious, nothing
serious like there. But but you know, like Andy was
wearing knee brace is like from days right the first
time I saw him, you had these two knee braces.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I was like, oh my god, I figured he'd be
out first. He's, you know, walking around with knee.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Braces eight weeks like our six weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh my gosh, were you s Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, he was a fan favorite.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What can you say?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I know, and I love Andy.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
He's such a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So you're going back to the finale on Dancing with
the Stars, so.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Happened tomorrow night. It's very exciting. I've been back in there.
I've been back in the ballroom. I've been rehearsing, I've
been training. I will dance. You'll see it all. Can
we get off? It starts for one spelling find fun.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, we don't want to get canceled. All these years
in this business. We've gone on this long.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
The spelling legacy, which is that I don't know if
you know this, but I work for your dad as
a kid.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I don't love that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I know, I know, it's so cute. So he was
a really sweet man, at least to me. I don't
know what he was like as a dad, but he
was really sweet.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He was really sweet and loved his actors and actresses
so much.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Like Yeah, he was very fit, very genuine.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So anyway, I just wanted to say that, you know,
we we're like minded. We have a we have a
common ground, a common denominator, which is that we both
you know, had that experience with your dad. Obviously he
was your dad, but for me he was just a boss.
But he was a very nice boss and a very
nice man. And you know, so we have that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Oh my gosh, thank you really quick. I just have
to tell you the three top things that I love you.
And I know it's from the past, but so goonies.
Goonies never say, I don't know it was. It was
the first like kids movie I saw in the theater,
like with I was twelve.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Would that be right?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
That's about right.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I was twelve. I was in Las Vegas. My dad
was filming his show in Vegas. That's where we went
for the summer. So I was in Las Vegas and
like my brother and I, our nannies took us.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
What do you do with kids then? Now? There's stuff
to do with kids, not back then.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And I saw the Goonies in the theater and just
became my lifelong Like you guys, I.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Mean if we if we do this sequel, we'll bring
you on the set. How about that? What?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
My so, my dad, Aaron Spelling, was really really good
friends with Steven Spielberg, like they forever. They ended up
doing one movie together, I think in their career called
twelve o'clock High.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Which didn't do well, but really good friends.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I remember one day I walked into his bedroom and
he was on the phone with him and he was
telling him like, oh my god, my kid loves Goonies.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
He got off the phone, he goes, so he goes.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Uncle Stephen says, if they ever make a Goonies too, babe,
they're gonna put.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You in it.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh wow, well good.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I'm like, I haven't seen him since my dad passed.
Do I remind him of that?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
When he will remind him, I'll remind him. I'll remind
him that you reminded me, and then I'll remind him.
But then i'd have to talk to him, which I
haven't seen him in like ten years, but.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Apparently in a freezer.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I mean we did.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We did the Zoom call reunions, right, which was like
two years ago, so I saw him then, but they
were you know, it was over Zoom. But anyway, the
rumor is it's supposed to be us. We have not
seen a script yet, so we don't know. But I
heard they've they've delivered the first edition and approved it.
They're working on a second draft right now, so we'll
see what happens. But if it really happens and we
(26:05):
end up doing it, I will definitely put in a
good word.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Thank you. I love you both. Thank you for doing this,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Okay, bye bye,
