00:00I was kind of skeptical about it at first because like I've gotten throughout the years like so many offers to do reality TV and I've always said no, because they've been from shows that have been like really just like messy and like negative and just what you think of when you think of reality TV, and I've never wanted to like do anything like that.
00:23But when the offer came in for The Surreal Life, I did my research and I went and watched the most recent season of it with like August Del Sena and Dennis Rodman, and I got I was like, okay, this is like a different kind of vibe.
00:36This is more based on just like personal relationships with people and like getting to like show who you really are and like personal growth and like new experiences.
00:45So I immediately like felt comfortable doing it, and especially like meeting the producers, Elena and Adam, like I just got a great vibe from them and like I love them.
00:56So I immediately just like felt really comfortable and I discussed it with like my family and everybody agreed that this could be like a really great opportunity for me, and it was.
01:08Is your mom or dad going to be tuning in?
01:11Definitely, yeah.
01:15I'd definitely be open to it for sure.
01:17I had such a blast doing this.
01:19It's like I would do it all over again right now at the drop of a hat.
01:24Yeah, I can't confirm or deny anything, but Kim is cool as hell and we get along and yeah, we still keep in touch.
01:31I talked to her a few days ago.
