00:00I

00:02Know Pamela Anderson wasn't involved. Yeah, were you bombed? What was did she give you a reason why she didn't do it?

00:07We I mean we chased her for a long time

00:09I mean we understand we started this way before the Pam and Tommy thing on Hulu. We started this way before her documentary

00:16We talked to her people. We would never I mean say I live in Malibu. It's very very small

00:22I used to live in the Paradise Cove trailer park four doors down from her so she's around. It's a small community

00:29And you know, we tried really hard and it was during the pandemic and she had been in Canada

00:33and I think she was open to it and

00:35Then the Pam and Tommy thing came out which kind of jarred her and then she had this big

00:39Opportunity as a rebuttal to tell her side of the story and it makes sense

00:43Like why am I gonna give that to you? I'm gonna go do my own thing. And my thing was you can do both

00:50Her son Brandon managed is her and I called Brandon. I'm like, hey, this is Matt and he goes click

00:58That was that was our last sort of yeah

01:02Effort and we had like a couple months and I just said, you know, if she really wants to get involved to be great

01:06Yeah, we would love for her to really curate her own story. Yeah

01:10And he had no interest so we tried any message for her now

01:14She's great. And you know, we we hope we we

01:18Told her story correctly and in the best way we could and we hope she's happy with it. Yeah, so yeah

01:23Everyone loves her the whole cast loves her. Yeah, I think the cast was more bummed

01:28Than anything the cat the cast I think felt a little letdown that she didn't do it. Yeah, it's very family

01:33so they're like why you know, we're a family and

01:35you know families are dysfunctional and they come apart and they come together and they really felt this was a time that

01:41Everyone could kind of come together for this kind of one last send-off type

01:44I mean, this is a you know, it's a 30-something year old brand. I mean how much longer we can be talking about Baywatch?
