Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh my gosh, I have so much to say. Welcome
to the week. So Friday night I went to the
event of the year. I say it like that because
it's the only event I go to once a year.
But it's jingle Ball. Now I know there's jingle Ball
multiple locations, so it's Los Angeles jingle Bell event in

(00:36):
LA iHeartRadio Kiss FM. They always have huge musical lineup.
You guys know me. I'm not quite a music person.
I'm getting there. I'm getting there, but it's always like
iconic people Literally tickets for these sellout. People go ape

(00:57):
shit to get tickets to this concert and it is
an event. So I am lucky enough that I am
in the iHeart family. So it's it's pretty much a
work event for me, except for depending on the year.
Like two years ago, I took all my kids. Olivia

(01:17):
Rodrigo was playing and we were like, oh my god,
like every child wanted to go. Last year, Hattie and
Stella went with me. So this year I decided there's
a lot going on right now. It's the holiday season,
you know. I know I always say this, it's my
claim to fame. I'm a single, working mom of five.

(01:41):
I'm gonna say that forever. What happens if I get
married again? Then I can't say that, Oh neverking married
again anywhay. So there's so much happening this time of year.
It is like non stop for everybody, you know, because
everyone's gearing up to like go home spend time with
their family. So it's like the very last work week

(02:04):
and everyone's getting it in. For me, I'm you know,
working and also dealing with the kids and setting up
the tree and the mother fuckings on the shops. Good
damn it. Okay right now, right now? Why am I
bose at school? Like I don't even know why I'm

(02:24):
saying anyway else on the show? Here we are so AnyWho.
I was getting prepared for this and my I heard family,
and my manager Ruthianne, was like, okay, you know they
have to plan, they have so many talent going and
they have to organize this whole night. It's always the
question of there, who are you bringing? And I thought

(02:47):
about it for a second. I was like, you know what,
I'm like grinch right now. I have so much going on,
I said, And I never go anywhere alone my whole life,
like I always have to have a friend or a family.
I'm not the girl that it's alone, goes to a
movie alone. I was like, you know what, I know
the mission, I know my duty. I need to do

(03:08):
the red carpet, support my iHeart family where I have
two podcasts miss spelling right here and listening to it.
I give it five star reviews. Make it number one.
Get us those two notes. So I know the mission.
I'm going to go. I'm going to walk the red carpet.
I'm going to do the press line, do my interviews,
support iHeart, and then I'm going to get in my

(03:31):
car because I'm going to be there alone, and I'm
going to go back home to my kids. And then
I've been looking at signs lately, you know, I've been
looking at signs and trusting my instinct and trusting me.
Can you see my shirt? By the way, I know
this the podcast, but for my two producers Adrian, I say,

(03:53):
you see my shirt? Nine O two one? How how ho? Yeah?
So it's so weird, like I do a podcast, so
aside from social clips, no one can see it. But
I'm such a detail oriented person that those are the
things that matter to me, like I looked long and

(04:14):
hard for something to wear today and this came out.
Okay anyway, So then it came to me, No, I'm
not going to go and walk that carp alone and
come home like the grinch, you know, at eight thirty
and be like I could from home. It's Friday night.
I never go out. I never get me time, and

(04:35):
I never spend time with friends anymore. It's been a
year and I've been working really hard focusing on my kids,
and I really just never go out and I never
have that like woo girl night out. Don't worry, I
didn't turn into that. It wasn't like a Woo Girl's
gone wild night. But anyway, I decided Kim, who does

(04:58):
my hair and is one of my best friends, and Jules,
who does my makeup and is one of my best friends,
both single working moms. I decided, you know what, what
people see in these press photos and the external me

(05:18):
that they see these two women work tires tyrostly. Is
that a word, tyler? How do you say it? WHOA?
I said it, but it sounded wrong. Tirelessly. Look at
me pulling out the pig cons this morning, just kidding
behind the scenes BTS, you know, to make me look great,

(05:40):
and they, you know, they get credit when you know,
celebrities post the pictures and they tag them, you know,
glam and they tag their makeup ours, they tag their hairstylusts,
and that's great, or it'll be like a fun BTS photo,
like getting ready for an event. But I was like,
you know what, they deserve a night out. They deserve
to be in front of the camera or at least

(06:01):
right by my side going to jingle Ball. So I said, guys,
I know we're doing glam because we had glam time
setup and I was wondering, would you guys like to
get ready and do you know, do my makeup, do
hair and makeup and go with me to this event?
And they were like, oh, are you serious? And I
was like, yeah, let's get ready and let's say three

(06:23):
of us go to this event. Because honestly, you create
the external of me, and you empower me to feel
internally confident that I can do these things, and you
make me feel so good about myself. I want to
take you guys. Sorry I'm babbling. So they say, yes,
we're gonna get ready. We have a plan I love

(06:45):
when a plan comes together. In Tory's world, it never does.
So just setting the stage, then I decide, okay, wow,
I'm on to roll. It's like three days before this event,
I'm going to plan ahead and I'm I'm going to
find a dress. So I decided to think ahead three
days before. Yeah, this is me and I h I

(07:11):
did some research and I went on Revolve dot com
and there's a brand that I really love. Anyway. I
was like, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, what do I want? I
don't know, it's jingle ball, it's holiday time. I want something,
you know, I'm going to go with black, white, metallics
of any sort or red or green. And then it

(07:33):
hit me red it must be red. So then you
can do like a fun search on Revolve dot com
shout out. I love you guys. Can I just count?
Just kidding? So I was like red evening dresses, anyway,
find this dress that I'm like, this is the one,
this is the one. It was red. It was huge,

(07:56):
mind you, Like, people go to this event in elevation
of jeans. You know, there's like, you know, people have boots,
they have leather pants, like maybe a fun flitzy top,
but no one goes like balls to the wall, and
I was like, you know what, that's okay. I don't
mind being in a ball gown at jingle Ball because

(08:17):
it's all about the photo. I mean, not all about
the photo and their support iHeart, but it's that photo.
That photo lives on. No one will be like, wait,
what event was she at? And everyone else was like
in the crowd wearing jeans. That photo like this photo
of me at jingle Ball last year and the year before.
Whenever like press pulls up like stories about me, they're

(08:37):
usually wrong. That photo is always there. So I'm like, okay,
this photo lives on forever, so it doesn't matter if
I'm wearing a ball gown. So I ordered this red, strapless,
huge gown basically but totally edging, even though my kids
said I'm not supposed to say edge anymore. I felt
like it was very like in the vein of like

(08:58):
cool girl like vibes while still being like a ballgame. Okay,
So I decide, you know what, I'm gonna think ahead
again three days and I don't know what size is
gonna fit me because I've got some moves going on,
and strapless it's always dicey here in the boob area.

(09:19):
So I decided to order three sizes. That's right. I
got an extra small, small, and a medium. And I
was like, I'm not taking any chances for bingle ball.
Bingle ball. Whoa ooh, bingo ball. Wait, we should guys
add that to the list. We should do a bingo ball.
How fun would that be?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
It would be really fun.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I love bingo, especially after one okay, three sizes in
this red dress I or a pair of shoes. I'm like, okay,
I got it now. Simultaneously, my friend Jamie Lopatty, who
we have been friends we lived in the same apartment
building when we were young. She does fashion pr and

(10:04):
is like a huge in the fashion pr world. She
dresses me for almost everything, like literally we know each
other so well. She'll be like, what's your vibe for this?
And I'm like, oh, I'm thinking skirt or I'm thinking pants,
and she's like, okay, well here's what you're into lately,
you know, Like she used to be like, oh, you know,
pops of color and ethereal, and now she's like, oh,

(10:24):
you're a little like more heart in your villain aire
as I say, so I had been texting with her simultaneously,
and she's like, all my stuff is on loan right now.
It's the holiday season, so all my like major pieces
are on loan for photo shoots and red carpets and stuff.
And I was like, oh man. I was like, do

(10:45):
you have anything. She's like, oh my god, wait, I
have it. She was like, I got it. I have
this corsett and it's black. And I was like, oh,
I really wanted to wear red though. She's like, stick
with me. We're texting, right, She's sending me pictures. She's like,
it's a black corset and the designer it's now a

(11:05):
one of a kind piece because he added these black
feathers to it. And she's like, but she's like, I
got to get that back on Monday. I was like,
no problem, she's like, and then she's like, I have
this like sheer like black, these black pants. I have
this sheer skirt. She's like, I'm going to send it
to you. So she was having a messenger send it

(11:30):
to me. Sorry, let me go back in my story.
Just just a tad so it lines up. She and
I had this conversation while I'm looking at revolved, but
I hadn't pulled the plug, pulled the plug, pushed the button.
I hadn't ordered the motherfuckers yet, so I wanted to
save her time. And as soon as I found this

(11:50):
red dress, which I ordered in three sizes, I texted
Janie and I said, I'm so sorry. I said, I
found the dress and I'm sorry it's not from you know,
your pr house, but I found it. So if you
haven't sent the messenger, please don't worry. Don't send the messenger.
Don't shoot the messenger, don't send the messenger. So then

(12:13):
I put you know, I hit by all that and
uh wow, added to my car. It usually just sits
in my cart. And then I like, digit that like
helps my shopping problem. So I went ahead and got it,
and then I sent her that text and she didn't respond,
so I was like, okay, I saved her, like the

(12:33):
cost of hiring a messenger and sending it all here. Anyway,
an hour later, dinged a bag arrives and I was like,
oh my god, she sent it. Oh, I feel bad
for my friend because I'm not going to wear anything.
Didn't open the bag, didn't go through it, put it
on my couch aka and my pantry, my storage unit.

(12:59):
I don't know what my house is right now, but
we got our tree up before December one. That is
monumental in my house and family just saying that. I
mean it doesn't have lights or ornaments. Shit, really, but
it's up. Why am I cursing so much today? I

(13:21):
am fired up.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast Are You a Charlotte?
The most anticipated guest from season three is here the
Tray to My Charlotte. Kyle McGlaughlin joins me to relive
all of the magical Tray in Charlotte moments. He reveals
what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Why would I bring her a cardboard baby? As literally,
I was like, this doesn't track for me at all.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
When he found out Trey's shortcomings, I'm kind.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Of excited to talking about. You know, I think he's
he's a guy spends time in Central Park. You know,
he's probably only there'll be some stuff, you know. And
I was like, all this kind of stuff going on,
and they were like yeah, yeah, yeah, fine, and they said,
but he's impotent, And I was.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like, he's impotent and why he chose not to return
to ingest like that.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
They came and presented an idea and I was like,
I get I see it. It's so kind of a
one joke idea.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
You don't want to miss this. Listen to are you
a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever
you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I get home from dropping bow off. Anna is waiting
here to do my nails and she says to me, Okay,
so you're wearing the red dress and I was like, oh.
She goes what and I go, uh, the box is
here sitting at the front door. She goes, what are
you talking about. You haven't tried it on the red dress?
And I'm like, no, oh my god. We run over,

(14:55):
We rip open that tape, We open the revolt box.
God they pack it well. It was a tiny box.
I was like, how are three dresses and a pair
of shoes in here? But they were very compact. We
take them out. I see these beautiful, beautiful red dresses
and I'm like, oh my god. She goes, God, these
are corgeous, Like, okay, let's try it on. Ooh. It's

(15:16):
like Anie meenie miney mode which one do I try
on first? I'm like, extra small. I looked at it.
I was like with these boobs also opening the medium
like it was like Goldielocks, Like which bed is mine?
That bed's a little too small, that bed's a little
too big, that bed is just right? Was it the

(15:37):
better the Porridge, you guys, the bull of Porridge, all
the buz Oh my gosh, wait, Goldielocks and the Three Fairs.
I wanted to make a reference to Little Red Riding Hood,
but it's a different fairy tale story. Okay, So I
try on the small and we get me into it,

(16:02):
we zip it up. It was like ha ha. You
would think, with what I do for a living that
I would have a full length mirror in this house,
but I do not. Do you know how many times
my friends aka my glam have been like, can we
just order you? Like it's like a ten dollars Amazon
like full length mirror we just set up so you
can look at yourself in outfits and see everything. And

(16:24):
I'm like, oh, that'd be so easy, but I haven't
done it. So anyway, in order to see myself full length,
I have to climb onto my bathtub and look in
my bathroom mirror. So I hike myself up in this
red dress and I look in the mirror and I went,
oh shit, you guys in photos it looked great. Perhaps

(16:49):
it was because it was a tall model, tiny, no boobs.
I have boobs. It's like, if I could go back
in time, I would never have gotten boob it all
because they just screw up your wardrobe. They ruin a
dress like nobody's business. One day I will get them out. Okay. Anyway,

(17:10):
I look at myself in the mirror and it's like,
it's like strapless it. Basically I looked like a bell
with tits attached to the top. I was boobed and
a bell and nothing else that was it. I was like,
oh my god, this is not the dress. Gorgeous, not

(17:32):
on me. Nope, didn't work. Doesn't matter, extra, small, small, medium,
it's not working. So I was like, oh my god,
what am I gonna do? And then I was like, oh, Genie,
the bag, the messenger, the black So we run downstairs.
I unzip that garment bag that is still sitting on
my couch because nothing gets moved in my house, and

(17:55):
I unzip it. I put on this black boost. Course
it corse it with the black feathers sticking up. It's perfect.
I then put on the black pants and I was like,
I'm not sure about this. Put on the black dress.

(18:16):
At this point, my son Liam walks out and he
has graduated. He wants to go into fashion. He wants
to go to fit him. He's currently applying and doing
all that, but fashion it's like his jam. And he
comes down. I go monkey, because I call him monkey,
What do you think? He looked at the black pants
and he was like, something's off a little bit. Like

(18:38):
I get it. It looks good. I go, let's try
the skirt. We put on the skirt and he was like,
that's it. Nailed it. I was like, yes, nailed it.
And then I was like, oh my god. I was
like yeah, going through the backstory because I'm me and
I babble. I was like, the red one didn't work.
My boobs were too big. And he goes, Mom, this
is probably no an appropriate conversation, and I yeah, I know,

(18:59):
but onever here we are. I'm me. Anyway, this looks perfect.
I run down. We're set. I text Jeanie and I said,
you are a genius. The red dress didn't work. I'm
going with the skirt in the corset, so I have
the outfit and I'm ready. Anyway, everything's coming together. I decide,

(19:22):
you know what, I'm going to pull this whole look together.
And I usually used to have long claw like faux nails.
What do they call them? Gel nails? They were fake whatever.
But I've been going, oh natural, all is it not
to all? Or naturelle, oh naturelle lately and I've had

(19:45):
short my real nails, which is really great for my
cooking career here because it's really hard to cook with nails.
I mean, I did it, but not ideal, which to
the point, people constantly in my cooking videos write comments
about my hands, which is super insulting, and they're like fake.

(20:09):
I call it out. Someone filmed this, but that's not her.
Not only did I film this while cooking a meal,
not easy to do, but I also edited it, so hello,
give me some credit. Guys. Anyway, they're like, those aren't
her hands. I recognize her hands. Look at the fingers,
those aren't her nails. Someone goes, I'm not kidding, said,

(20:33):
man's hands. That's what red that cuts deep, cut deep.
I have tiny, little cute fingers I pride myself my
mom was a hand model when she was young. I
have great hands. I mean they're getting a little old,
but you know, aside from that, I have elongated fingers.

(20:55):
I have cute hands. So that was insulting anyway, but
you can hear that stuff. So watch what you write
about people or say about people, because words don't go away. Anyway.
I decided I'm gonna bring back my nails for this event,
and so for the first time in six months, I

(21:15):
got it's like ASMR. Can you hear them clicking? I
didn't just get like, oh, I'm gonna get some short
like almond nails. Oh no, I got the long, badass ones.
What are they called them? Adriam asking you and Easton
what are they called you? Guys would never know this? No, no,

(21:37):
I mean, oh, that's gonna send me over the edge.
They're not coffin, they're whatever, the sharp, pointy ones, the
ones that will cut a mofo. So like, don't f
with a single, hardworking mom of five. I'm still gonna
keep out around anyway. I got the law long nails

(22:00):
back on. So it was interesting because I pride myself
on making my life hard because for me, that's easy.
This is how my brain works. Chaos works for me.
I thrive. As I said, chaos is my freedom. So
when I had long nails and right now, like you

(22:21):
see how long these are? You guys, welcome to the
ASMR session. Oh you guys, maybe we'll get more downloads
if I do this for a bit, drawing a new crowd.
But you guys want it slow? Hold on?

Speaker 4 (22:40):
How is that sound good?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay? Go back to loud. We know. So they're like,
how many inches do you think these are? These suckers?
You guys? Two? God, that doesn't sound good? Can we
say three? And Colard a day? Helps? It helps my
story because I love to all my friends and family

(23:07):
are like, oh my god, you're so dramatic. Am I passionate?
Good storyteller for the story, for the story? Oh my god? Okay,
So I get they have something called cat I where

(23:28):
they do like the magnet on the nails. So I
got dark red with the magnet that goes on it
dark red Catie. And on my pointer finger and my
middle finger like f off on my right hand. I
got snakes because it's years you're the snake? Is that correct? Whatever?

(23:51):
I believe so. Anyway, I just think they're badass, and
they're black snakes with little two rhinestone clear eyes, very
cool three de effect. It's not something she puts on.
She literally brushes it on herself. But anyway, texting for
me was an art. I would pride myself on bantering

(24:12):
over text with somebody and they'd be like, whoa slow down?
Like funny, but too quick? I'm like too quick. I'm like,
are you doing it with? Sorry, sake of the story?
Three inch nails and still I'm faster than you. Your
thumb hurts. Hello, anyway, really quick on text. When I
stopped having nails, I suddenly couldn't text fast. It was

(24:35):
like it should be easy with short nails. Nope, I
couldn't do it. It was really challenging. I had to
relearn how to text fast. Then I got pretty fast again.
Now I have the nails back. It's a thing. I'm
still I'm like misspelling over text, no pun intended, every
pun intend And I'm having to use voice to text,

(24:58):
which is not good because I talked fast. I don't enunciate,
never have done it. Well. That's for overachievers and for
people who like to I like to save my energy.
So I just say it fast, but I don't enunciate
that's your problem. But uh yeah, So Siri, my point,

(25:21):
never understands me. She's always like says like weird random stuff,
and I'm like, nope, anyway, I'm back. I've relearned in
just days, you guys, how to retext with my nails. Now,
cooking is going to be a whole nother situation which
I'm gonna have to cook dinner tonight. We'll see how

(25:42):
that goes with nails. Oh boy. Anyway, I reach out
to my friend Anna, who does my nails, and I said,
I'm ready. I'm back, and she goes, ooh, I've been
waiting for this text. We're friends so we text all
the time. But like she doesn't done my nails, and
she goes, you want the claws back. I'm like, oh yeah, baby,

(26:03):
I'm ready for the claws back. So she's I said,
I also, because i think I'm wearing this red dress
with some open toad shoes, I said, I'm going to
need my toes done, which we never do pedicures. And
I said, is there any way you could just say
if you have time, like I just don't have time
to get a pedicure. Could you just put my toes?
She does that too. She was like, oh yeah, no problem,

(26:24):
and I was like, okay, perfect because truth be told.
Oh my god, I'm going to be embarrassed right now.
And I always make jokes about feet Finder and how
cute my feet are. They are cute. I have not
had a petticare like a proper peticure. Oh I always
know this since the first week of December twenty twenty four.

(26:47):
That's right, it's twenty year. It's twenty year. They're not maintained.
Still cute, but like the nails are long. I mean
I clip them myself sometimes, but yeah, they're not like
all done up. They are not. Let's just say feet
find your quality, which I always make jokes like I

(27:08):
would slay on feet Finder if I had any account
that actually lists my real name. So uh yeah. So
she's like, okay, good, I'll get that done. So we
have like my brain is imploding. I'm like, okay, time
time time. Okay. Friday morning typically Dean drops boat and

(27:39):
because we have a whole system worked out and he
typically on Friday drops boat. But he had a work
thing that started earlier because he works, and he's like,
is there any way you could drop bow this morning?
And I was like, oh my god, I have the
biggest day coming up. But being the good baby mama

(27:59):
I am, I just texted back and said ofc as
the kids said, of course and he's like, oh, thank
you so much. I love you. I love you too.
Great co parenting at its finest. Great. So that already
jams my schedule up because Anna and I were supposed
to start nails earlier and I was like, Anna, can

(28:21):
we start later because I have to drop Bo la
la la la. But of course we can't happen. Drop
Bo at school. He's happy, drop Bo at school. He's happy. No,
you guys. It was one of those mornings where like
everything that could go wrong that morning did, Like we

(28:44):
we couldn't find Bo's water bottle Bo suddenly, I mean,
we're on a time schedule, like he used to be
there at a certain time, or they closed the gate.
The shame when they closed the gate and the child
has to go like head down and be like okay
and walk to the front office and get signed in
as tarty. Oh my god, no kid wants that. The

(29:07):
pressure and this is just elementary school. He's in second
grade and he's always like dad always gets me here
on time. Thanks, buddy, didn't eat that this morning, but

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Hi, it's Jenny Garth, host of the I Use Me Podcasts.
This week, I'm so excited to welcome my friend Gabrielle
carteris the Andrea Zuckerman from Beverly Hills nine o two
on OZHO to the pod.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
We're Choosing to Get Real. I applied to the networks
about my age in contracts. They never would have hired
me if they had known my age. We're choosing to
be honest. She looked at me, and she said, this
business is about and that's which you have neither of.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
And we're choosing to get nostalgic. Listen to I Choose
Me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
We run out the door. I mean, at this point
we're running, I'm sweating. We get in the car, we
get there. I have the backpack in the front. I
have no shoes on. I'm literally running. And we get
there and I was like, okay. I see the gate.
It's still open. And I'm like, ohoh, we got this.

(30:59):
And he's like okay. So I pull up and you're
not allowed to walk them in. It's drop off. Only
those little rules are better stick to them. So I
pull up. He opens the door. He's like, where's my backpack?
It's usually in the back seat with him, it's in
the front seat. He gets out, I open, I go
around get out the door. I was like, I don't
know a crossing guards are looking at me. I'm like, hi, Hi,

(31:21):
good morning. It's like, don't get mad at me. Sorry,
I'm like, bo backpack. I run around the car. I'm like,
it's one of those like missions. I'm like, here go,
here go. He gets it and he's running this. Oh
I just see blonde hair flying. He has his backpack
on and he's running. So she doesn't shut the gate,
and I'm like, not wanting to embarrass him, but I

(31:42):
make eye contact with the person in the staff member.
It's cool, and I'm like, he's coming. It was like
when you're flagging someone down, like at the airport, like
when they have like the lights. He's on his way.
It was like slow moan in my head. It was
probably funnier than it in my head, and it actually
has nail. But anyway, and he's like running. He gets

(32:06):
through that gate. She looks at her watch, she closes
the gate, and then I get back in the car.
My heart is pounding. I'm sweating balls. And I look
over and what's on the seat The water bottle, the
one we couldn't find in the morning but we found.
And I'm like, oh my god, that kid's gonna get

(32:27):
thirsty during the day. He doesn't have his water bottle,
so I grab it. I get back out of the car.
I'm like running. I see her walking back in with
her clipboard and I said, I'm so sorry his water
bottle he forgot it, and she was like, I'll get
it to him. I said, great, thank you so much
using me my entire day, and then walking back and

(32:47):
I got some nails to get done. Let's go, so anyway,
start at nails late, long story short, get the nails
back on, and I feel like me again. I'm like, wow,
it is so interesting how something external like your hair
getting colored, which Kim did later that day, your nails

(33:09):
getting done. It's those little things that we take for
granted that that's self care right there. And I always
feel guilty, like I shouldn't be getting my nails done.
I should just focus on my kids and getting their
stuff done. It's the little things like this that make
us happy and make us feel confident and good. Anyway,
got my nails back on, but we're running lated and

(33:30):
she's like your toes, and I'm like, we don't have
time for toes. I'm sorry. I got to get to Kim. Now.
I'm late, you know, getting to Kim who's coloring my hair?
She is because I had a vision and I was like, okay,
even though I had cut my hair and made it short,
I had a vision of the Tory chop, which was

(33:51):
back when I was pregnant with Stella. So two thousand
eight I believe was the Tory chop. Two thousand and nine.
I renewed my vows in ten and it was on point,
literally twenty ten. That's the photo I took a photo of. What. Yeah,
So it was real short in the back, like I'm

(34:13):
talking short, like you almost got to shave your neck.
I'm not hairy, but you know what I mean, Like
the nape of the neck, it gets like short short,
and then it went into an angle, like a sharp
angle went down below the chin. Anyway, Kim and I
achieved it. But anyway, I got there and we had

(34:35):
like no time. I was like, okay, okay, you know,
nails take two plus hours all that. So I get
to her and I was like, sorry, you have X
amount of time to do my color and a precision cut.
This is like Vdal Sassoon at his finest. This is like,

(34:56):
this is precise. And I was like, okay, you got
to do this cut which is so precise because it
can't be off at all and she's like, mission understood.
She's one of my best friends, so this is how
we talk. And then keep in mind, she then still
has to go get ready because I'm like, my beauties

(35:16):
are going to walk by my side and get all,
you know, so it's their night out too, so I
want to hurt out time. Anyway, this took a while
because I was being tory and she's like, looks great,
and I'm like, I see one hair, then no one
else will see. And she's like, yep, yep, I know
it'll bother you and I know how you are. Let's
fix it. So we kept going. We kept going. Meanwhile,

(35:39):
cut to Jules is at the house. She's gotten ready
and she's like, great, okay, I'm here to start your makeup.
We're like, not there yet. Okay, long story short, I
came flying through those doors with a shop that made
me proud. Thank you, Kimberly Dow. You were amazing. Kim

(36:04):
quickly went to her house to get ready to come
back and meet us at my house for the car pickup.
And the car was going to be there at five
thirty sharp, five thirty. And my jingle ball team, my family,
they have so many talents, so they have to keep
me on track, right. So I have like a little
separate group text with Emma, who is going to be

(36:27):
my point person assigned to me? Sorry, Emma, just kidding
for the night. And they all know me so well.
They're like, the uber is arriving at five point thirty.
He will wait ten minutes, but at ten minutes he
will leave. And I was like, oh black, I always
thought it was fifteen minutes. Like five minutes matter Like.

(36:50):
I was like, okay, copy that. I got it. And
they know me so well. Okay, you're seeing this text.
I'm like, yep, yep, five minutes. Get back to the house.
And I'm not kidding. Five point thirty were supposed to
get in that car. I walk in and Jewles not
panic in at all. Has all the setup, the ring line,

(37:11):
she has all the makeup. That Goddess Juliana to know
she had fourteen minutes to do my makeup. Usually we
have a full hour and a half, two hours, fourteen
minutes to do my makeup and for me to get

(37:32):
into my outfit it's a corset, and get out that
door and Kim is not here yet. Anyway, I'm happy
to say that Haru, who ended up being my driver.
When he pulled up. I didn't want to panic my
iHeart team, so I said understood. I walked out, and

(37:53):
I feel like human connection is everything. People have such
crazy busy days that they just kindness lead with kindness.
I walked out and I said, hi, I'm Tori. He
told me his name, which I couldn't pronounce. I didn't
want to insult him, but I said, does anyone ever
call you Haru? Because that was like the first part

(38:14):
of his name. And he goes, everyone, that's my nickname.
And I said great. I said, Haru, we have a situation.
He looks at me and he goes tell me. And
I said, okay. I said, I know you can only
wait ten minutes. I'm supposed to get in this car
at five point thirty. I'm running a little bit late.

(38:35):
And he goes, please. He goes running late. I have
a wife. I know all about this. I will not
leave you. And I said, oh my God, God bless you, Haru,
Oh my God, Christmas miracle. And I said okay, because
we're running fifteen twenty months fleet. And he looked at

(38:56):
me and he said, not a problem. And I said
thank you, my friend, and I will be back. Ran
inside and so then we do my makeup in fourteen minutes.
I quickly put on my outfit, the jewels I've thought
ahead for once. I've texted her from KIMS before, and
she's like, anything I can help you with because we're

(39:17):
gonna have no time. I was like my outfit and
she's like, yes, where is it? I lose everything. So
I said, the skirt, I've actually hung it up. It's upstairs.
It's hanging from my window in my bedroom curtains. And
she goes, okay, great, and I said the top. She goes,
I don't see the top and I'm like, why is

(39:37):
the top not there? Then I remembered because it had
feathers and it's one of a kind. I didn't want
the kids to ruin it. So when I left from
doing nails, because I knew Stella was picking up bow
because I had a whole day planned the kids would
be coming home, I hid it in the pantry cupboard.

(40:00):
But anyway, I didn't want them playing with them plucking
out those feathers. That's not good. So I said, oh
my god, where's it. It's in the cupboard and then
She goes, okay, what shoes are you wearing? And I go, okay,
I have these great Versatchy patent leather heels that I
love and never wear, but I look at them every
day because I don't wear heels anymore, just converse. And

(40:22):
she goes, okay, I'm in your closet. I don't see them.
And then I remembered where they were, and I said, Jules,
they're in the bar. She goes, what, why would your heels?
I don't even want to know. I go, no, not
for any good reason. The last time I wore them

(40:45):
one event, it was like a year ago. I took
them off, put them with the glassware that I have
lined up in the bar. I don't even have alcohol
in my bar. I got to get on that for
the holidays. But anyway, glassware. I had taken off the shoes.
I didn't want the dog to chew them and leave
them on the ground. I was too lazy to go
upstairs at the time, and I put them with all

(41:07):
of the glassware. That's where they were. Anyway. Kim arrives.
Jules gets my makeup done in fourteen minutes. Kim arrives,
She's ready. Jeules is ready. I'm ready. We walk out
that door. We got in that car, and I got
to say we were only about fifteen minutes late, maybe twenty. Sorry, iHeart,

(41:33):
but Haru had my back. We got in that car
and we headed to jingle Ball. Now, if you thought
my day was crazy, just wait what happened when I
stepped onto that red carpet at jingle Ball. But you're
gonna have to wait for part two because that's our show.
Oh it's a cliffhanger. Oh my dad would be so proud.

(41:55):
I'm doing a cliffhanger here. But you got to listen
to part two because what went down at a Ball
was off the charts. But yeah, that that was my day.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
