Speaker 1: This is Frosted Tips with Lance Bass, an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Frosted Tips. I'm David Chokichi, guest host filling
Speaker 2: in for Lance Bass. Thank you for letting me have
Speaker 2: this opportunity Lance. Today, I'm here with my co stars
Speaker 2: from the original The Og Baywatch. I brought along my
Speaker 2: guest dated Hi, Michael Bergan, will you let me finish?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trow.
Speaker 2: I brought along my good friends Jason Simmons, Jeremy Jackson,
Speaker 2: and Michael Bergan.
Speaker 4: Yes, in the house.
Speaker 2: We were recently brought together through a documentary that's going
Speaker 2: to be released on Hullou August twenty eighth that ABC
Speaker 2: News Studios has acquired that was produced and directed by
Speaker 2: Matt Felker and also Nicole Eggert. Matt pretty much took
Speaker 2: over for the entire shoot, and you know, I know
Speaker 2: the majority of us had an amazing experience with Matt.
Speaker 2: I mean we started shooting this uh pre covid so
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. I think I shot like my first thing,
Speaker 2: like out at Zoom of Beach, And I don't know
Speaker 2: many documentaries that go shoot for five years, because I
Speaker 2: also shot something like two months ago for them.
Speaker 1: So Matt called me, well, he kept calling me. I
Speaker 1: kept turning, turning the interview down because you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not acting anymore, and I didn't really need to do that.
Speaker 1: And then he showed up at my open house and
Speaker 1: he goes, I swear, I'm not stalking you. I'm here
Speaker 1: to actually look at this house. And he bought the
Speaker 1: house No Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4: He bought that house. It was good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, talk about dedication.
Speaker 3: He bought that house.
Speaker 1: And then I said, I'll do your interview if if
Speaker 1: I sell your existing house, the other house in Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 1: And that's how you do it, he said, he said deals,
Speaker 1: So I sold his house.
Speaker 3: He got to do what you gotta do. That was
Speaker 3: a cool house, too, great house. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was the same for him like with Carmen Elector.
Speaker 2: He was trying to get Carmen and he just stayed
Speaker 2: on our publicist for like a year, just like this
Speaker 2: is what we're doing this over and over and over
Speaker 2: and finally that Karen is like, yeah, of course I
Speaker 2: want to do it. But it took forever.
Speaker 3: And same with it was Gregory, Helen Williams. Gregory.
Speaker 2: He wanted he wanted Matt to write him like a
Speaker 2: kind of a formal proposal like I had actually thought,
Speaker 2: like an essay and in essence, and then send it
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 4: I got one of those. I asked for one, and
Speaker 4: I got one.
Speaker 3: For real. Oh my god, you're always so difficult.
Speaker 1: You guys get paid to do it, as I got
Speaker 1: the deal.
Speaker 5: The deal is if you get paid for a documentary,
Speaker 5: it takes it from documentary to reality show, and it's
Speaker 5: a whole different category. It's a whole different demographic, it's
Speaker 5: a whole different markets, whole different skills, uh sales. So
Speaker 5: nobody can get paid for a documentary if you wanted
Speaker 5: to really be a documentary, which you open up the
Speaker 5: doors to way different awards, way different distribution, way different
Speaker 5: you know, viewer perception, like I'm really watching something, this
Speaker 5: is showcasing their real life, not something they got paid
Speaker 5: for to fake it or to re you know, Felcher
Speaker 5: can't create any scenario.
Speaker 3: I just want it. I want my fucking award.
Speaker 5: Dude. Everybody wanted to get paid. Nobody wanted to do
Speaker 5: it for you, Nobody wanted to show up.
Speaker 3: Jason, Why did you? Why did you say yes?
Speaker 4: Because Nicole Austin.
Speaker 3: Jeremy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nicole, Like I love Nicole Man. She's like, you know,
Speaker 5: survived this, this this shell, this brand, this uh you
Speaker 5: know type cast of like the pretty girl and like
Speaker 5: gone on to great entrepreneur and gone on to be
Speaker 5: a successful mother, and she's always just been always super real,
Speaker 5: like a homie and you know, now to producing her
Speaker 5: own projects and it's rad like, heck, yeah, I don't
Speaker 5: want to be part of of you doing that, going
Speaker 5: from just the ditzy bimbo pretty face to like a
Speaker 5: real person doing real things with a real life overcoming
Speaker 5: real struggles. Like I support that all day long.
Speaker 3: We know you have to. Yeah I was.
Speaker 1: I wasn't interested, you know, at first, but and you
Speaker 1: called you, called Kelly Packard call I think Alexandra Paul
Speaker 1: called Jeremy. I think you may have reached out to me.
Speaker 1: All you guys are like it was so much fun.
Speaker 1: It just I don't know, you know what I I
Speaker 1: I was. I'm a little shy in front of the camera.
Speaker 4: Actually you got.
Speaker 5: To know that, dude.
Speaker 2: But you're I see you like in your real estate
Speaker 2: mode and you're just like, yeah, but I'm not on
Speaker 2: camera or anything like that.
Speaker 1: That's just a natural conversation like right now, it's it's fine,
Speaker 1: we're talking, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Bergen that would come up to me like on set,
Speaker 2: like there was I remember a day like all you
Speaker 2: have to do? Uh. It was in my apartment and
Speaker 2: he was crashing there like in this that we were
Speaker 2: shooting down cover and off Jefferson and then like I
Speaker 2: come in the door and I think you both come
Speaker 2: in whatever, I throw my keys.
Speaker 3: He had to see a couple of lines and like
Speaker 3: but he just could not get it right. Dude. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you remember that the it was.
Speaker 1: That was every day probably you know what, when you
Speaker 1: have like one or two lines, that's it, like nothing
Speaker 1: to sink your teeth into, like a juicy scene.
Speaker 5: It's so freaking hard.
Speaker 1: It's just it's so hard.
Speaker 3: I remember.
Speaker 1: I remember in front of a producer session, I had
Speaker 1: one line and I couldn't remember the line.
Speaker 3: I couldn't remember the line.
Speaker 5: I couldn't.
Speaker 3: All that pressure is on on.
Speaker 5: If you would a bunch of lines or like a
Speaker 5: whole scene, you would have been okay.
Speaker 1: If I had a scene something to sink my teeth
Speaker 1: into and and and get into it. Yeah, that that's
Speaker 1: a lot easier than one line.
Speaker 5: I strangely get that, yeah, you know, because that one
Speaker 5: line almost feels like a slap in the face, and
Speaker 5: it's like you want to do so good with your
Speaker 5: one thing that you end up maybe messing it up.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done soap opera acting? So I was
Speaker 1: on Passions for two months one summer, and you're like
Speaker 1: seventy shows and man, that dialogue that you I mean
Speaker 1: you have to remember like monologues three or four pages long,
Speaker 1: not that long, but uh, and it's pretty it's pretty bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's that was the.
Speaker 1: Hardest acting I've ever done. Yeah, is on a soap opera.
Speaker 2: Well, if you can, if you can actually take really
Speaker 2: poorly written material and.
Speaker 3: Make it kind of okay.
Speaker 2: You're you're doing all right as an actor, because I've
Speaker 2: had the experience of do you know of things that
Speaker 2: were poorly.
Speaker 3: Written and been like wow, what happened to be brutal?
Speaker 2: And then work had the chance to work on something
Speaker 2: that was like so well written that you don't even
Speaker 2: like you just like read the scene a few times
Speaker 2: and you're like, holy shit, I I already know it.
Speaker 3: I don't even have to like really work on this.
Speaker 3: It's just like it. It's such a difference, you know,
Speaker 3: it's night and day.
Speaker 5: I had like kid pressure, so like knowing what I
Speaker 5: said if it was like super lame or like I
Speaker 5: would never say it going back home, you know, to
Speaker 5: Orange County, to like my buddies in school that actually
Speaker 5: surf with. At twelve thirteen fourteen, Visuan line bro, like
Speaker 5: what kind of kuk are you? So I had to
Speaker 5: change a lot of my lines, like dude, look, I
Speaker 5: wouldn't you could never Yeah, I'm gonna get slaughtered going
Speaker 5: back home if I say this, you can't say it
Speaker 5: like that. This is how you say it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was always kind of twisting and making everything
Speaker 5: be like proper for the times and yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: for for my age.
Speaker 3: And Tom Moore the since passed, I was changing live producer.
Speaker 3: He was amazing dude. He would always put his two
Speaker 3: cents in, like, hey, this is you know, maybe how
Speaker 3: you want to say it. I was like, cool, Tom,
Speaker 3: it's such a cool dude.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 1: I was just always so freaked out, nervous about the
Speaker 1: dialogue and just being on in front of the camera.
Speaker 1: And I came from the modeling world for years before that.
Speaker 6: Well, it wasn't used before that, wasn't I think when
Speaker 6: when you got hired, you had just been on the
Speaker 6: billboard on sunset billboard outside eight hundred eight thousand sunset with.
Speaker 3: The Times Square.
Speaker 4: I was on Depends Sunset. So I mean, no, but
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 1: And I'm not joking. It's like I got into modeling
Speaker 1: because you know, some someone told me, you know, you
Speaker 1: can make a thousand dollars modeling a day.
Speaker 3: Like what a thousand?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll do free, you know. So I looked
Speaker 1: into it and got rejected, got rejected, and I found
Speaker 1: an agency in New York, and and you know, I
Speaker 1: was going I was going to the University of Connecticut,
Speaker 1: but I put myself through college with modeling money and
Speaker 1: you have to live there. So when I graduated, I
Speaker 1: moved down to New York right away and I lived
Speaker 1: there from ninety two to ninety seven. But I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean I had to like really jack myself up,
Speaker 1: like to be in front of a camera and like
Speaker 1: really suck it up. It's like I was not good
Speaker 1: at it. But I mean I did okay at it,
Speaker 1: but it was just it was hard. And then the
Speaker 1: same thing with acting.
Speaker 3: I got in.
Speaker 1: I got into acting because I thought instead of posing
Speaker 1: in front of a camera and I felt like conceded
Speaker 1: staring at the camera, looking at whatever, I thought it
Speaker 1: would be easier.
Speaker 5: To be underwear, which probably adds a little bit, you
Speaker 5: know what.
Speaker 1: Funny enough, when I'm in my underwear, I feel more
Speaker 1: comfortable because I feel like, you know, the joke's on
Speaker 1: me kind of thing, and it just it breaks the
Speaker 1: ice a little bit. But anyway, acting I thought it
Speaker 1: would be easier for me because I'm not staring at
Speaker 1: a camera or I'm being a character or whatever. So
Speaker 1: but yeah, but then then I started starting getting nervous
Speaker 1: for the camera too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, genus struggle too. For a while, I was like
Speaker 3: she did, yeah, yeah, yeah, she was kind of like
Speaker 3: I just didn't. I didn't. I think it kind of
Speaker 3: progressed where she's I think.
Speaker 6: It was more of the circus environment that was freaking
Speaker 6: her out too, Like, yeah, the people behind the boundary,
Speaker 6: Like it wasn't like a little close said, it was
Speaker 6: like hundreds of people Yeah, watching you, seeing if you
Speaker 6: up on? Yeah yeah, yeah, So I think that stressed
Speaker 6: her up to Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think the more you do it, I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm at a point in my life where
Speaker 2: I'm like the camera like I did this movie it's
Speaker 2: called Shark Warning, but I was like, it's just the
Speaker 2: camera is invisible, Like I don't see I don't see
Speaker 2: the crew. I just see the actor in front of
Speaker 2: me and the space around me. It's like, I just
Speaker 2: feel like I'm in the zone.
Speaker 1: Now you're more professional, act more than ever.
Speaker 2: It's like, but in the beginning, yeah, you're like, oh shit, man,
Speaker 2: there's one hundred people staring at me, you know, like
Speaker 2: especially stepping onto like.
Speaker 6: Baywatch also, but some of the cops didn't come from
Speaker 6: from drama school or anything like that. So with Gana
Speaker 6: was like learning, like you're learning to act and swim,
Speaker 6: swim and do all this stuff all at the same
Speaker 6: time with thousands of people.
Speaker 4: You know, it was it was well that was me too.
Speaker 1: I mean, coming from the modeling world, I never I
Speaker 1: never acted. I never really acted before at all. So
Speaker 1: like when I joined the cast of Baywatch, I mean
Speaker 1: they pretty much picked me up off the billboards, threw
Speaker 1: me on the show, happy to be there. But I
Speaker 1: mean I made all my mistakes, you know, along with
Speaker 1: the nervousness, you know, right on set. But I did
Speaker 1: more scenes with you chokes, you know, but come on,
Speaker 1: you had a like like you know, scene after seeing
Speaker 1: Okay to take two and I'm like sweating and trying
Speaker 1: to still remember my lines, and You're like you do
Speaker 1: do dude, it was so easy for you.
Speaker 3: Brandondard right up to me right before the fucking camera
Speaker 3: is rolling and go like looking at his sides, like dude,
Speaker 3: I don't know how to say this, like this real.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean obviously, I don't think any of us have
Speaker 2: seen the whole documentary, but I've seen little little bits
Speaker 2: and pieces, and I mean I myself was, you know,
Speaker 2: I was, you know, originally the same thing, like everybody
Speaker 2: was saying yes to it and you know, a chance
Speaker 2: to kind of Matt really felt like he was gonna
Speaker 2: be able to let us tell our own story, and
Speaker 2: he kind of felt like we never had a chance,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of we're always just stereotypes and that
Speaker 2: then they kind of like left us and like that's
Speaker 2: the image they have and that's the.
Speaker 3: The characterization they made of us.
Speaker 2: Is it's still that those same people, like, you know,
Speaker 2: all these years later, so to come back and especially
Speaker 2: to see you guys all again, you know, and to
Speaker 2: kind of reunite and and also tell like, you know,
Speaker 2: what's happened like or how you got there, what your
Speaker 2: experience is like, and then your journey up until basically
Speaker 2: like now, I thought was like kind of like amazing
Speaker 2: because the show itself, like it does take.
Speaker 6: A look of trust her to do a documentary and
Speaker 6: to know that the people that you're doing it.
Speaker 4: For and with have your best interest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I did find with Matt that he he does,
Speaker 6: he does, and he did and I made sure before yeah,
Speaker 6: because you know, people have tried to start stuff before
Speaker 6: and nothing's really happened, so you could be flaky and stuff.
Speaker 5: And yeah, the story I've kind of wrote in my
Speaker 5: head or from the different data I've collected. And you know,
Speaker 5: number number one, you know, Nicole is awesome. She's always
Speaker 5: been like a sister to me, so I've always known
Speaker 5: she's had my best interest in her. You know, she's
Speaker 5: a family friend. We hang, you know, we have each
Speaker 5: other's basswards, whether it's her dieting or me needing a lawyer.
Speaker 5: You know, we've always just supported one of one another
Speaker 5: in some way shape, or form. So I was comfortable
Speaker 5: that with that. But then I met Matt Felker, right,
Speaker 5: and you know, the way he pitched it to me
Speaker 5: is like check it out, dude. Like I'm a kid
Speaker 5: from Wisconsin who like watched and idolized Baywatch. So like
Speaker 5: I became a lifeguard at a pool in Wisconsin and
Speaker 5: they used to make fun of me and call me Hoby,
Speaker 5: And I wanted hair like you know, David Chokichi, and
Speaker 5: I wanted a life like you know, want to like
Speaker 5: emulate my life after after you and like all of
Speaker 5: you guys inspired me so much as this kid growing
Speaker 5: up in this cold, crappy place that I wanted to
Speaker 5: like move to la and be Malibu, like you guys
Speaker 5: like showed me what the ultimate life looked like. So
Speaker 5: I just had that in my mind that I was
Speaker 5: going to do that. And then he moves to California
Speaker 5: and he does it, and he gets wildly successful, and
Speaker 5: you know, he's like the sexy guy with the abs
Speaker 5: and the blond hair in the streaks and and and
Speaker 5: he's been living in Malibu. He's wing triathlons and he's like,
Speaker 5: you know, manifested this Baywatch lifestyle and so you know,
Speaker 5: he gets wildly successful produces, you know, projects, does really
Speaker 5: well for himself. He's a smart guy and when this
Speaker 5: came across his nose, he was like, yeah, do I
Speaker 5: want to show the new generation what bay Watch did
Speaker 5: for my generation? Like how it molded and shaped my
Speaker 5: direction in life. Uh yeah, I'd never be here if
Speaker 5: it wasn't for that show. There's dude, there's a ton
Speaker 5: of super famous people like Brad Pitt is on record
Speaker 5: saying bay Watch is his favorite TV show. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: like you know, Johnny, all these people like, oh loved
Speaker 5: bay Watch.
Speaker 2: The makeup trailer, I was in there and they had
Speaker 2: been doing something with Brad Pitt and they had all
Speaker 2: these polaroids and he was wearing like the red red
Speaker 2: lifeguard jacket, like doing all these bay Watch poses.
Speaker 3: Look, dude, this guy fucking loves the show, right yeah.
Speaker 1: And he I remember him saying that Michael Bergan was
Speaker 1: his favorite and that that made me feel really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and you know it stood out for me.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think everybody knows.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, our good friend of ours and
Speaker 2: one of our co stars, Mike Newman, has been battling
Speaker 2: Parkinson's for you know, I think was it ten ten
Speaker 2: years and it's progressed pretty rapidly in the last three
Speaker 2: and it's kind of turned into some.
Speaker 3: Other things that are not great.
Speaker 2: But you know, basically, and Matt would would and Matt
Speaker 2: and Mitch what's Mitch's last name, the guy who is.
Speaker 5: The lifeguard guy? Yeah, I don't know his last name.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Matt, Mitch would take Mike out because he couldn't
Speaker 2: do much with.
Speaker 3: His Parkinson's but he could still paddle and.
Speaker 2: He would always see And so Matt and I took
Speaker 2: new Me out last summer and you know, we just
Speaker 2: went like a half mile and Mike was like, I
Speaker 2: can't go anymore.
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa this? You know, Syrian went back.
Speaker 2: But you know the fact that Matt like he's he's
Speaker 2: not one of those guys who's just full of shit
Speaker 2: and just talks like he would drag Mike out there
Speaker 2: because he knew the only thing that Mike could do
Speaker 2: was paddle, and the only thing that gave him happiness
Speaker 2: was paddling. And like he consistently became a great friend, yeah.
Speaker 4: And also a great coach and teacher.
Speaker 6: He told me how to swim, like I could look
Speaker 6: like I could save somebody.
Speaker 4: So that was you know him for like a couple
Speaker 4: of months before the show.
Speaker 5: For those of you watching that don't know Michael Newman,
Speaker 5: is that like super jacked guy that jumps over the
Speaker 5: big wave in the Baywatch, you know, main title shot
Speaker 5: when when the show comes on and the music comes on.
Speaker 5: He's the guy that runs the best, jumps the best
Speaker 5: in crazy shape. He's a fireman, he's a lifeguard, he's
Speaker 5: an iron man, triathl I mean, he was everything that
Speaker 5: basically Mitch Buchanan, the star of the show, was modeled after.
Speaker 5: So this new Me guy gets like to hang out
Speaker 5: and be in the background and say one or two things.
Speaker 5: But he's the guy really living the life. He's the
Speaker 5: guy in the world swim, surf and run laps around
Speaker 5: all of us, you know what I mean. He's a
Speaker 5: real fireman and a real lifeguard. He's saved so many lives.
Speaker 5: Who's uh, you know, a first responder, humanitarian. I mean,
Speaker 5: he's just a g Like the whole objective in life
Speaker 5: is to be as powerful as this dude is, to
Speaker 5: make an impact on the world as much as this
Speaker 5: guy has. And and you know now he's basically ailing,
Speaker 5: slipping away from from life, done more than most mental
Speaker 5: ever doing their lives as far as making an impact
Speaker 5: on the world, and like this opportunity to give him
Speaker 5: like real full episodes, you know, not just a blip
Speaker 5: like he was on the show, but to show the
Speaker 5: story behind the guy that really inspired the whole freaking cast.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's beautiful, and yeah.
Speaker 5: Hasseloff is in this thing for like ten minutes, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. He spent ten days with Nui
Speaker 5: Filmy and they went to Hawaii with him at his house,
Speaker 5: hanging out with the Hawaiian water safety team, like really
Speaker 5: cool stuff.
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever have to swim before the season?
Speaker 1: Wasn't the Palisades?
Speaker 4: Yea.
Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm hearing you talk about training
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I'm like, I trained. I trained
Speaker 1: Carmen Electra in the pool. She would jump in the
Speaker 1: water and hold her nose or whatever. And Greg Bonan,
Speaker 1: the executive producer creator, said he goes going lane one
Speaker 1: and just work with her a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm like, gladly, Yeah, yeah, I had to do because
Speaker 2: my character is like an Olympic hopeful, so like you
Speaker 2: can't fake like looking like an Olympic swimmer.
Speaker 3: Like, so I was.
Speaker 2: They put me in like the Master's program like at
Speaker 2: six in the morning and the Palisades for like yeah
Speaker 2: for months, bro, And I was like, yeah.
Speaker 1: I was there, just I don't think you were there
Speaker 1: when I was.
Speaker 4: How much extra did you get paid for that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was there.
Speaker 4: I was there zero double time.
Speaker 1: When I first got cast, I had to go for
Speaker 1: like three months and train. It was great, but it

Speaker 2: So this is a I mean, it's really cool, like
Speaker 2: to be brought back together, you know, I mean, and
Speaker 2: just be able to shoot the ship.
Speaker 3: I think it's so cool.
Speaker 5: And at the same time, I feel like because we
Speaker 5: were so immeshed in it, were immersed in it. For
Speaker 5: me specifically, like I don't pay attention to stuff that
Speaker 5: other people like think is cool or want to know about.
Speaker 5: They're like, oh my gosh, what was it like meeting?
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I don't know because I can't really

Speaker 5: like oh yeah, hey Trump, Yeah, good to meet you
Speaker 5: or whatever. All the stuff we did, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I wasn't paying attention because it was just a normal day.
Speaker 5: Was so like to have somebody on the outside digging
Speaker 5: into like this is what people want to know about,
Speaker 5: and let's like go into those home movies and let's

Speaker 2: find uh, find scene. And I also talk about like
Speaker 2: even a few things like now in the nineties, dude,
Speaker 2: we're there and they're always you know, talking about like
Speaker 2: women's empowerment now and the whole me too thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: Baywatch was pushing women like ahead of its time, because
Speaker 2: like the females were given as much action and spotlight
Speaker 2: as the men.
Speaker 3: In terms of the.
Speaker 5: Last name was lifeguard, not him and her, it was
Speaker 5: I'm just a lifeguard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like Alexander Paul and I would just
Speaker 2: literally be so competitive, like, see you had the most
Speaker 2: rescues over the course of their career on the show,
Speaker 2: and like she was up there, you know, so if
Speaker 2: you could really swim and you could you know, do
Speaker 2: your ship in the water, they would write tons of
Speaker 2: rescues for you.
Speaker 1: And did you ever get your first rescue in real life?
Speaker 2: No on the show, dude, I've had a few few
Speaker 2: in real life too.
Speaker 5: You can't. You can't get out in the water every
Speaker 5: day without.
Speaker 2: And then this is a good story, dude, I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought that with my manager and Florida and like
Speaker 2: South Speech one time, and you know, it's kind of
Speaker 2: the height of the show and we're just like out
Speaker 2: in like knee deep water, and these these girls had
Speaker 2: already like said, oh that's a different Baywatch whatever, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, like ten minutes later, there's like
Speaker 2: a swimmer like maybe fifty yards out like kind of struggling,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is a total setup. This is
Speaker 2: a total fucking setup. They're trying to get me to
Speaker 2: swim out there and like, you know, like do your
Speaker 2: rescue be like I wouldn't clowned you or whatever, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And so I didn't do anything
Speaker 2: really because like they're just like and my manager swim out.
Speaker 3: And they got him and they were actually struggling.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm had a few rescues in real life,
Speaker 2: like just because you're in the I'm in the ocean
Speaker 2: all the time. And a couple of like dudes like
Speaker 2: surfing broken board, like literally getting blown out to sea
Speaker 2: all a sudden the wind comes up and they're just like,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean the coast guard would have actually
Speaker 2: gotten them, but like you don't want that to happen.
Speaker 3: That's like a full scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely help a couple of people still saving lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby it Yeah, I mean we got to just
Speaker 3: you know, we're lifeguards.
Speaker 5: Branded on our soul. Yeah, getting away from it might
Speaker 5: as well work with it.
Speaker 2: My daughter just finished her fourth year of junior lifeguards
Speaker 2: at zooma beach and and Bonan and actually I see
Speaker 2: him every morning.
Speaker 5: Dude.
Speaker 2: He coaches the older kids like that there's a, B
Speaker 2: and c's, so the seas are the newer kids.
Speaker 3: And you do three years and c's two and b's and.
Speaker 2: Then three and a's and then the cadets and then
Speaker 2: you can at age sixteen you can start working his lifeguard.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you know, as a dad, I'm like, listen,
Speaker 2: there's only a few things I'm gonna hammer on you
Speaker 2: that you're gonna do.
Speaker 3: One is this, You're gonna stay in this program.
Speaker 2: And like if you go to college and anywhere in
Speaker 2: California or southern California, you know, look, just watch what
Speaker 2: the lifeguards do when they show up for work.
Speaker 5: The shows ten.
Speaker 3: You know, dude, they have the best. Like the community
Speaker 3: itself is amazing. They're always laughing, they're super fit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, insurance or you could branch off in the fired
Speaker 2: harm because it's you know, Ellie County lifeguards and fire
Speaker 2: department are together.
Speaker 3: And and for kids nowadays, it's like what do they
Speaker 3: go do?
Speaker 2: I mean, when I grew up on the East Coast,
Speaker 2: there's a million jobs, like you could mow lawns, landscape
Speaker 2: work construction. I taught sailing, but like now it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, work at Sephora, Like no, no fucking way.
Speaker 3: Like so in the very beginning of it, Oh my god, no,
Speaker 3: she spends so much time there.
Speaker 5: Let's get into it. Hormone disruptors in the perfume, a
Speaker 5: toxin's in the makeup. You're cut off from the sunlight,
Speaker 5: you're in the blue light. You're out of your circadian rhythm,
Speaker 5: so your testosterone is down and your estrachen is up,
Speaker 5: and you're sick and you don't sleep good. But you're
Speaker 5: on the beach.
Speaker 2: So the first day they get all the kids together
Speaker 2: and all the pair and they're they're giving their whole spiel.
Speaker 2: All the instructors are all fired up, and the first
Speaker 2: day of junior guards this year, and then they're like, okay,
Speaker 2: so all you kids, who do you think is wants
Speaker 2: to stay in?
Speaker 3: This part it's called like the road to red So.
Speaker 2: You you eventually put on the reds and become a
Speaker 2: lifeguard if you stay in, And they go raise your
Speaker 2: hand if you want to stay in and eventually become
Speaker 2: a lifeguard. And I'm like, her back is to me
Speaker 2: and she's like ten feet away, and I'm like, you
Speaker 2: better fucking race sure that she's like she could probably
Speaker 2: feel like the heat coming off me because she wasn't.
Speaker 2: And eventually I think she did the half turn. It
Speaker 2: was like but I mean, I think she's starting. Like
Speaker 2: she she became like one of the strongest paddlers on
Speaker 2: the team for like like the boy like her and
Speaker 2: one other female one of the strongest runners, and like
Speaker 2: now she's like charging big wave surfing, which never happened before.
Speaker 3: And her her ocean savvy is insane. It's such a gift.
Speaker 3: And like I've just heard, like I was outsurfing and
Speaker 3: this guy pretty good surfer, good okay in the water.
Speaker 2: They were on a trip to Hawaii and he's you know,
Speaker 2: probably in his mid fifties, and he got like ripped,
Speaker 2: pulled out in a bad rip and he was for
Speaker 2: some reason, he wasn't really panicking fighting it, but all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he was just like out of he
Speaker 2: had no energy, and he was like, holy shit, dude,
Speaker 2: I'm in a.
Speaker 3: Really bad situation.
Speaker 2: His daughter, who was like eight or eighteen but had
Speaker 2: been through lifeguarding and was working his lifeguard but they're
Speaker 2: on vacation. She they grabbed a board, fucking paddled out
Speaker 2: to him, flipped him on the board and like he's
Speaker 2: like it was like three days ago.
Speaker 3: He's like, she saved my life.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, so you carry that stuff through with
Speaker 2: you for the rest of your life and just think
Speaker 2: of the positive impact, you know, instead of like and
Speaker 2: this is like that message. I was like, I'm getting
Speaker 2: this two cents in when we did the panel at
Speaker 2: the TCA's because I was like, you know, kids are
Speaker 2: sitting around like wanting to be either just fame miss
Speaker 2: for no fucking reason without like as an actor. They
Speaker 2: don't want to study and do all the steps and
Speaker 2: grind like every like most people have to do, or
Speaker 2: they just want to be like the like influencers. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, what what isn't even an influencer, Like what
Speaker 2: does that mean? I mean, I get what it means
Speaker 2: and I understand it, but there's no skill.
Speaker 1: Get load of money, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's no like skill.
Speaker 2: You're just like tapping into a source that happens to
Speaker 2: be really pop and cultural like at the moment.
Speaker 5: And it's like it's a lot about following instead of leading.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like why not have us develop a skill and
Speaker 3: like or have work on something like.
Speaker 5: Work opportunistic, you know, jumping in on a trend to
Speaker 5: come up real quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like this term.
Speaker 5: This is how you do anything as how you do
Speaker 5: everything exactly and to develop that discipline and develop develop
Speaker 5: that camaraderie and to develop that sense of discomfort getting
Speaker 5: up like you were talking about at five to be
Speaker 5: there at five point thirty, to train hard, then go
Speaker 5: be an influencer.
Speaker 8: But now you know what looks like every not everyone
Speaker 8: can do it, and you have backwards you have to
Speaker 8: be you know, you have to be good at being
Speaker 8: an influencer, you know, and you can't just well.
Speaker 5: There's there's there's roles and models you can turnkey.
Speaker 2: And it's just what bumps me out is I hear
Speaker 2: like I'm around kids, my daughter's age, and I hear
Speaker 2: a bunch from saying like there's a lot of topics
Speaker 2: like what do you want to be when you grow up?
Speaker 2: And I hear that ship and I'm like, holy fuck man,
Speaker 2: that's our society is literally the like instead of you
Speaker 2: know what, I want to be a doctor, I want
Speaker 2: to be a whatever, really whatever, Like I want to
Speaker 2: be and influence her like or I want to I
Speaker 2: want to be really good at uh fortnite so I
Speaker 2: can make money playing video games.
Speaker 3: Like and I'm like, this is like this is like
Speaker 3: the death of my buddy story Civilization.
Speaker 1: My son is yeah, like twenty four years old. He's
Speaker 1: a professional baseball player. Did he get into m Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's on the He's in the farm system for congrats

Speaker 5: million dollar houses, more than a pretty face.
Speaker 1: One a no, yeah, one left, more than just a pretty.
Speaker 3: Video game playing. I'm not saying it's like who cares?
Speaker 2: Yeah, played video games after you've like you've gotten worked
Speaker 2: out for eight hours, so you're working. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: like what what people are like, are the youth of
Speaker 2: this country, like what they're targeting as their future goals
Speaker 2: is are so skewed.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's you.
Speaker 1: Know, everything in moderation. I mean, he played the video
Speaker 1: games when he was able to, you know, but but
Speaker 1: you know, when when he was younger, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he would probably do it a lot longer than you know,
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, he would do it longer.
Speaker 5: But you know, we.
Speaker 1: To play video games. I never got into video games.
Speaker 1: I don't know a little bit I did so actually
Speaker 1: when I came to get it. When I came out
Speaker 1: here to l A from New York.
Speaker 5: What was it?
Speaker 1: It was a PlayStation I was on there. I was like,
Speaker 1: not a spokesperson, but I was like on their vi
Speaker 1: P list. So they sent me a PlayStation module. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and they all the new games that come out,
Speaker 1: they would like mail them to my my apartment. And
Speaker 1: I was playing a lot of video games.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 1: I would have acting class. I would blow off acting
Speaker 1: class because I'm in my ninth hour of playing like
Speaker 1: these stupid games.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It was pretty not to.
Speaker 3: You know, in terms of like the documentary, Like are
Speaker 3: you guys.
Speaker 4: Who knows the most about the documentary?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 4: Yeah, who knows?
Speaker 5: Like what like all the details and cool stuff I
Speaker 5: know about it that people should probably know is the
Speaker 5: team that edited the Bulls documentary Last Dance, which won
Speaker 5: a slew of awards. They're editing our project. The team
Speaker 5: that does all the the artwork, the digital artwork for Vans,
Speaker 5: They're doing our artwork. We have a lot of major
Speaker 5: pop culture icons that are being interviewed, like just Jared
Speaker 5: and and various people who you know, are are pretty
Speaker 5: respected in that nineties arena and have really transcended and
Speaker 5: are super famous. Now, Debbie Gibson's doing our redoing our
Speaker 5: theme songs. So we got all these award webbel what's
Speaker 5: his name that's from from American Dad, the actor, redheaded
Speaker 5: actor American Dad, voice of the Kid on American Dad.
Speaker 5: He's doing the soundtrack or the theme song with Debbie Gibson.
Speaker 5: So we got we've cross pollinated.
Speaker 1: I heard the new theme song, Yeah, Matt, Matt sent
Speaker 1: it to me.
Speaker 5: Cross pollinated with a lot of different pretty big celebrities
Speaker 5: that are current.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Muriel, one of the producers is like an award
Speaker 2: winning documentary producer, so and she's she's part of our team.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you know, ABC News Studio is so fired
Speaker 2: up about this thing. They're like, who also did the
Speaker 2: brat Pack? But they kind of seen obviously they've seen both.
Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna go on record and say, you never
Speaker 5: would have imagined that you could say Emmy and Baywatch
Speaker 5: in the same sentence, but it is very possible. There's
Speaker 5: a couple episodes in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen her.
Speaker 1: You know once in a while, send me a clip
Speaker 1: of this, you know, clip of New.
Speaker 5: Me Poignant and it's it's some it's.
Speaker 3: Some really good stuff. Yeah, really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the the videography, the video team that did pit
Speaker 5: my ride. Yeah, so just guys that are Miles doing
Speaker 5: good stuff.
Speaker 3: Miles the DP. We also did all the water water
Speaker 3: He's insane.
Speaker 2: And you know, we also got like, you know, we
Speaker 2: got Kelly Slater who was on the show and obviously
Speaker 2: he just liked his experience on the show because he
Speaker 2: was a surfer and they were you know, the dialogue
Speaker 2: was whatever.
Speaker 3: But he was dating Pam in real life.
Speaker 2: And you know, he he's come around and like he
Speaker 2: he actually said yeah, I'll talk about the show, and
Speaker 2: he's at a different point in his life where he
Speaker 2: reflects back and he's.
Speaker 3: Like, you know it it was what it was, you know,
Speaker 3: and and he opened up the whole like a whole door.
Speaker 2: As soon as he said yes, it's like the surfing
Speaker 2: world was like okay, well Kelly said yes, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll give the wsl was like, we'll give you access
Speaker 2: to like what do you guys need?
Speaker 3: What do you want?
Speaker 2: And so like you have like supermodels coming on doing
Speaker 2: interviews and were talking about it and before do.
Speaker 5: We get to see it at some point, just like
Speaker 5: it's for us to see it before because it's a documentary.
Speaker 3: We don't get to approve Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: And never before seen footage of our home private home movies, uh,
Speaker 5: never before seen interview with Pamela Anderson. There's going to
Speaker 5: be a lot of really cool surprise stuff. Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that the.
Speaker 2: The awesome thing is, you know, because it took five years,
Speaker 2: just because I think once Matt got got going with it,
Speaker 2: he's like he just kept putting his own money into it,
Speaker 2: and it's rare to find someone who actually, you know,
Speaker 2: he's been successful.
Speaker 3: He's got I think.
Speaker 2: It's a couple of his family members or partners on
Speaker 2: this investing. And you know, it's not it's not the
Speaker 2: kind of thing he's going to see a financial return on.
Speaker 2: Probably it's going to be more of a loss, but
Speaker 2: it's more of like this will be part of something
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 5: And once this documentary comes out, Matt Felker is going
Speaker 5: to be like the documentary whisperer. Like if you have
Speaker 5: any any any music career or modeling career or TV
Speaker 5: career that you know, has collected dust and nobody really realizes,
Speaker 5: like the blood, sweat and tears, it took, the sacrifice
Speaker 5: it took to make magic happen back in the day,
Speaker 5: like they're going to be begging him to touch.
Speaker 1: You know, even if he loses money on this project
Speaker 1: or whatever he is, it's going to come back to him.
Speaker 1: And it's funny when you were saying that, I was
Speaker 1: actually thinking of when I shot the Kelvin Kleine underwear
Speaker 1: campaign with Kate Moss. They paid me nothing. I got
Speaker 1: paid two thousand dollars for two days in a row,
Speaker 1: so four thousand dollars total. And my ads were all
Speaker 1: over placed, like you said on Sunset Boulevard, Times Square.
Speaker 1: I would fly into different countries and they were there,
Speaker 1: were there, I was.
Speaker 3: It was just all over the place.
Speaker 1: They didn't pay me for that, and I never complained
Speaker 1: because you know what I was, I was a fucking nobody.
Speaker 1: I was a nobody, and overnight I become like everyone's
Speaker 1: calling me, referring to me as a supermodel, and I'm
Speaker 1: getting direct bookings all over all over the world. It
Speaker 1: was like, I freaking love Calvin Klein and I thank
Speaker 1: him like every day for me sitting in this chair
Speaker 1: right now. It's like he gave me that opportunity. I
Speaker 1: never complained about the money. Yeah, and same thing with Baywatch.
Speaker 1: Bay Watch didn't pay us much money at all. But
Speaker 1: you know what gave us a gave us a platform.
Speaker 3: Oh dude.
Speaker 2: Like when I it's so funny, man, Like I was
Speaker 2: in college and I went to college in Maine, played football,
Speaker 2: and all the football players.
Speaker 3: We all lived in this like twenty eight of us
Speaker 3: at least lived in the same house.
Speaker 2: Like like it was just madness. And on Saturday nights
Speaker 2: we'd all go to the bar and I'd be one
Speaker 2: of my really good buddies.
Speaker 3: Be in his chair like this, and I walk by
Speaker 3: his room and I'm like, dude, we're going to the Goose.
Speaker 3: Let's go bro. And he's like, fuck no, dude, bay
Speaker 3: watches on. Let's go party.
Speaker 2: And then you got to like two years later and
Speaker 2: I'm on the show whatever, and he's like like what
Speaker 2: how did that happen?
Speaker 3: And but you know, I came from like a background
Speaker 3: I was. We grew up on the ocean. My mom
Speaker 3: was a sailor.
Speaker 2: She taught we were sailing like from age five on
Speaker 2: and I ended up sailing, yeah, sailing, and ended up
Speaker 2: teaching sailing, competing, going to the Junior Olympics and windsurf racing,
Speaker 2: and had all this knowledge of the ocean.
Speaker 3: So when like Baywash came around, it was like a
Speaker 3: show but like.
Speaker 2: That involves the ocean. It was a dream gig, and
Speaker 2: I really didn't give a shit. I knew that the
Speaker 2: money was the money was the money. Who it was
Speaker 2: more like, you know, it was the same thing, like
Speaker 2: that you could make your and they all the producers
Speaker 2: felt the same way, like you could make your money
Speaker 2: outside the show, dude, And I got I got some
Speaker 2: things like offers like hey, Chokichi, will you fly, will
Speaker 2: fly you first class to Argentina to receive the Life
Speaker 2: Time Achievement Award and pay you like it was a
Speaker 2: gangload of cash. And Valeria Motza presented to me and
Speaker 2: literally like we're down in this remote beach town and
Speaker 2: it's like I don't know, maybe five thousand people in
Speaker 2: the crowd runway and like huge giant screen. Nobody speaks.
Speaker 2: They're all speaking Spanish except me, like and so they
Speaker 2: played this like Cody Montage and then Valeria Matza comes
Speaker 2: out and then they introduced me and like I come
Speaker 2: out and all I say is like, don't they style
Speaker 2: bond you?
Speaker 3: And I tell the award. But it was like those
Speaker 3: opportunities were.
Speaker 1: Here, I would fuck up the line one line, I
Speaker 1: would suck it up.
Speaker 5: It's that butterfly effect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 5: Like, okay, so flash forward. My My whole life is
Speaker 5: basically centered around you know, uh, recovery and mentorship and
Speaker 5: you know, helping other men to get their lives back together.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: And uh turns out out these forty fifty year old
Speaker 5: dudes that I'm helping they were all in prison, right,
Speaker 5: And guess what, like the best thing when they were
Speaker 5: going through juvenile hall and when they were in prison,
Speaker 5: the best thing shaken when you were locked up was Baywatch.
Speaker 5: It was like TV time was like you had to
Speaker 5: fight for your seat, like literally like go hand to
Speaker 5: hand combat with somebody to like keep your seat because
Speaker 5: they wanted to watch Baywatch. You know, So like grow
Speaker 5: up watching me and like now we're just in my
Speaker 5: truck driving around getting coffee together. Like this is so
Speaker 5: weird man. You know, back in Oklahoma, when I was
Speaker 5: watching you, when I was a kid. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: It's a trip that Jason. You've been a little quiet.
Speaker 4: You've been talking rather.
Speaker 3: I know, well, I'm the host. I'm allowed to talk
Speaker 3: as much you've been.
Speaker 2: Is there anything like you kind of want to plug
Speaker 2: like in terms of like do you want to like
Speaker 2: do you want to reflect on your time on the show,
Speaker 2: or do you want to reflect on like.
Speaker 6: Well, because I've not seen the documentary, so I don't
Speaker 6: know exactly what's going to be. Yeah, I've no idea
Speaker 6: what to talk about. I've no idea what I said
Speaker 6: four years ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it should be interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have the I live Matt, Like we we
Speaker 2: ran a place on Point Toom like year round, and
Speaker 2: he just bought this house Like literally I could hit
Speaker 2: it with a golf ball, like right next door.
Speaker 3: It's so cool. Like I went over the other day.
Speaker 6: I'm like, damn, it definitely interesting to see household sewn together.
Speaker 5: So you're in the same seat as the viewer.
Speaker 4: Man, yeah watching it.
Speaker 3: We all are. You're not gonna watch it?
Speaker 7: Oh, come on, I know I not want to watch
Speaker 7: I never Yeah, but this is like you know, this
Speaker 7: isn't like a movie TV show.
Speaker 3: It's us yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Just being real.
Speaker 5: So you don't want to see your son throwing the
Speaker 5: ball back and forth.
Speaker 1: I can't watch his games on.
Speaker 5: The documentary they got you throwing the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll probably but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I mean I always had a problem,
Speaker 1: you know. I was always nervous, you know, in the
Speaker 1: scene and always and always uh never never watched any
Speaker 1: of my stuff unless I was forced to.
Speaker 5: I mean, are you watching your own performance? You're super
Speaker 5: critical of yourself because an interview, this is real life,
Speaker 5: you know, it's a little different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know it was, let's face it,
Speaker 2: like there's so many cool things that came out of
Speaker 2: the show. There's obviously like lots of other other behind
Speaker 2: the scenes stuff that people you know that we actors,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure some of us like we didn't agree with.
Speaker 2: But it's like, well, in life, like what do you
Speaker 2: what do you want to look back at, like, you know,
Speaker 2: like do you want to focus on all the bad
Speaker 2: ship that was going on or do you want to
Speaker 2: just focus on the fact that like I was on
Speaker 2: the on the show, the first show to reach a
Speaker 2: billion viewers that penetrated, Like I mean, I've been in
Speaker 2: countries so far remote, dude, and where people are like
Speaker 2: fucking bay Watch bait.
Speaker 5: Like, look, every everything happens for a reason, right, And
Speaker 5: I think everything happened just so that you could come
Speaker 5: and sit in Lance Bass's chair and take on his podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think this is the pinnacle, This is
Speaker 5: what it was all for at the moment. Yeah, we
Speaker 5: have reached the crescendo.
Speaker 3: I just need some more frosted tips, right.
Speaker 5: Baby, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna say, you know, bay
Speaker 1: Watch was probably one of the best things like that
Speaker 1: it's ever happened to me. And I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of actors on the show and they feel like
Speaker 1: when they got off the show, it was because they
Speaker 1: were typecasts, it was hard to get work whatever. But
Speaker 1: and you know, I, you know, I try to do
Speaker 1: the acting thing for a few more years, and then
Speaker 1: I got into real estate and I've been doing that
Speaker 1: for like sixteen years. But it's like, I love I
Speaker 1: love that I was on the show. I loved telling
Speaker 1: people that I was on the show. It just like
Speaker 1: it just lightens up the room. It lightens up people's
Speaker 1: face because everyone knows Baywatch.
Speaker 5: And everyone like loved Baywatch and.
Speaker 1: Whatever, So letting them know if they didn't know already
Speaker 1: that I was on the show, it's it's pretty cool
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably because they have a lot of respect because
Speaker 5: you're not, you know, trying to like be something you're not.
Speaker 5: You're like this new creation that used to be this
Speaker 5: other thing, and they're probably like, that's that's dope. Then
Speaker 5: you went from like that's that's cool.
Speaker 2: No, And I think the documentary like that's what I
Speaker 2: was saying, or like at that TCA thing is like
Speaker 2: because you have all this these interviews with the majority
Speaker 2: of the cast, you know, I think people will actually,
Speaker 2: you know, before it was like, you know, the name
Speaker 2: Baywatch was synonymous, was just a certain stereotype in.
Speaker 3: The in a lot of people's head, right. But when
Speaker 3: they see that there's actually.
Speaker 2: Like our each and end of each and every story
Speaker 2: in each and everybody's kind of owned personal journey, everybody's
Speaker 2: kind of ny. I think they're gonna go, you know, wow,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have been so quick to judge a the show.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have dismissed them as human beings or actors.
Speaker 3: I should have been like, you know what, I should
Speaker 3: have given him more respect. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I think after the documentary, I think people will be like,
Speaker 2: have a different feeling about when they say the word
Speaker 2: Baywatch or when they see an actor from the show,
Speaker 2: from the original show.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, watch the show, join the bandwagon.
Speaker 5: We love you. Take a look at the story behind
Speaker 5: the story. Man.
Speaker 2: So the actual title of the documentary is After Baywatch
Speaker 2: A Moment in the Sun, which will be airing on
Speaker 2: Hulu August twenty eighth.
