00:01:21:15 - 00:01:25:06 Unknown This show is presented by King Rella.

00:01:25:08 - 00:01:49:08 Unknown Let's play a guessing game today. Who is my next guest? I'll give you a little hint. She's the Canadian baddie like me. We're going to get even though I hate doing this. You don't know what I'm talking about. Okay. She's got some big, beautiful assets that you cannot miss. Still nothing. She's built herself into a whole brand with high production content.

00:01:49:11 - 00:02:05:18 Unknown Enough with the guesses. I want you guys to comment below who you thought it was. Please welcome Carina Kova, who?

00:02:05:20 - 00:02:29:15 Unknown you? Good. How are you? Good. Welcome to Miami. Thank you. How are you liking the weather versus Canada? Like, Inter gave me goosebumps. Like I'm like a sensitive girl. Oh, look at me. I'm super sensitive. The weather's something right? Yeah. Canada had a really winter. Yeah, right. It's brutal. It's long. I know brutal.

00:02:29:15 - 00:02:50:02 Unknown I know it's bad for the mental health. So bad. So you need to. You need to get your over here. Yes. In Miami. Seasonal depression is lifting. So for our viewers who don't know who you are. Give us a little idea of who Karina Kova is. Okay. I'm self-made in the industry, and I've been staying strong for ten years.

00:02:50:04 - 00:03:07:09 Unknown Actually, I'm not really counting. I just keep saying ten years. Year after year. I don't know if I've, like, past it or, like, just caught up to myself, but I feel like a decade here. Yeah. I think I saw online that you started about 2015. Yeah. So I might have slept in a few years of like the but yeah, I mean it's.

00:03:07:11 - 00:03:30:16 Unknown Yeah. Yeah. Long time long road and and you've been strong been consistent throughout the way. Yeah. So making solo content and interacting like with my fans probably is the biggest thing. And what, made you want to get into this type of content. Yeah. It was basically circumstantial. Like I wouldn't say that I chose to be in the adult industry online.

00:03:30:18 - 00:03:49:06 Unknown Like it was very circumstantial. So it was like someone I love needed to be taken care of at the time. And I had to switch places from being in the club because that's where I was. I was dancing and, and so I just touched down and started to, and then I took off from there making videos.

00:03:49:07 - 00:04:09:14 Unknown I had no idea you were before that. Yeah. Like, really, my dream is like, come dance these Miami clubs. Really? Yeah. Okay, so I don't know if you've ever been to a club in Miami. You have not. You have not. Okay, well, compared to Canada, you should go while you're here. Yeah, but compared to Canada, it is like it's just wild.

00:04:09:14 - 00:04:31:14 Unknown It is literally like I went, I think on a Tuesday beam and it was like 200 girls just dancing. You just like, it's just. Is it over? Well, is it more about the, the private dances, though, than the stage shows? I think so, because I didn't I mean, I stayed for about an hour and a half.

00:04:31:16 - 00:04:50:16 Unknown And it was just like beautiful women everywhere. And then, yeah, they would come talk to you to get you to the right. There are stage shows going on. Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And people throwing money and. Yeah. Vibe. Yeah, yeah I got so you love that. Yeah. Yeah I love being more of like a dopamine rush than like money counts after work.

00:04:50:16 - 00:05:04:11 Unknown Like, that's what you don't get in this job anymore. Like. Yeah. No. Like hands on of, like. Wow, that was a good night. You know, you just got, I don't know, stars versus, like, dollar dollars. It doesn't get the same. But like, how does it feel when you go to the bank and you have like a bunch of I mean, in Canada.

00:05:04:12 - 00:05:21:10 Unknown Oh, it's not much germination, right. We know what you're doing. Yeah, exactly. There was always banking issues when I'd go, for sure, but it was like fives, like it's just smaller bills. Okay? It's not like loonies and tunings. I never danced in the parts or like you do the crazy loonie games, which is wild to me. Yeah, but good on you.

00:05:21:10 - 00:05:40:07 Unknown It's just that I like, would fear, like, people abusing that situation. Like, I heard horror stories, but yeah, I miss dancing. Yeah, yeah, I used to see. I mean, I still see sometimes on TikTok, like Midnight Ballerinas. Yeah. And then like, how they're just counting their money and I'm. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, well, that's all just ones.

00:05:40:11 - 00:05:58:08 Unknown Right. But then she's like, oh, well I made like six grand tonight in like four hours. And I'm like, God damn. Yeah. You know. Yeah. It's just it's just it's different. Right. Like you get that in club interaction and then after you leave work you just get to go be yourself again. The internet, I'm just like, I have to be on 24 seven.

00:05:58:08 - 00:06:05:09 Unknown I'm just like, FOMO. I'll miss out. Yeah. This this person. What is this, club hours or club hours? So there's a lot more structure to my life. Yeah,

00:06:05:09 - 00:06:18:02 Unknown definitely. Yeah. I feel like with the industry that we're in, it's like, okay, well, I wake up and I gotta check my phone right away and see, you know, trying to, like, I'm really trying to structure my life a bit better so I don't, you know, burnout.

00:06:18:05 - 00:06:34:15 Unknown But that's hard. Hey, have you ever burned out? Hey, plates. Hey, this is the Canadian TV. What's an r? Hey, hey. Because every time I. Oh, every time I talk to people, they're like, oh, there's a Canadian in, you know, and I sleep at night in America.

00:06:34:20 - 00:06:38:13 Unknown There's such haters. They don't get us no revival. They don't get us.

00:06:38:18 - 00:07:03:04 Unknown They don't get us. Hey, Okay, so you started up as how was that experience like. Because I've never been a girl. Yeah, I, I did, like, dip my toes in. You get my toes in there, and I just, I went into phases where I was like, okay, for me, this is great and fun. I was back in the day where you could go do, like, public crazy shows.

00:07:03:06 - 00:07:20:21 Unknown You know, that that can't be done anymore. But I would have a really hard time just sitting in my bedroom in front of the webcam. Like, I just can't. I have to do something crazy or it's not fun for me. And is that why you went into, like, the high production? So, Well, yeah, that definitely was, like, more of my element.

00:07:20:21 - 00:07:39:18 Unknown It was like, became a passion and one's work. But yeah, I was, unless I was doing something crazy. Yeah, I yeah, I got, I lost interest pretty cool. Yeah. I mean and you're just there talking to yourself and like reading what people are saying. Yeah. It's hard to keep that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then what made you, like?

00:07:39:18 - 00:08:05:07 Unknown You said, it was a passion. The high production, you know, content. But like, how did you think of that? Because nobody really has done it. Right. Yeah. Well no, that like, it's definitely like kind of, I don't know, it was it's hard because O-F really changed things because, you know, you go back what was it 4 or 5 years ago and people were starting to like, move towards these bigger productions.

00:08:05:09 - 00:08:22:18 Unknown They put everything in. But now off, it's just like so fast paced and it's like quantity over quality. And I've, I've gone into the trenches now of that I can't even I'm going to get my passion back here pretty soon to do some bigger productions. But yeah it just became like, oh, I, I'm interested in this camera now.

00:08:22:18 - 00:08:41:08 Unknown I want to upgrade and do this and yeah, this sound and like all of this. Yeah, yeah, it's a hobby heavy and work. Work and how like do you organize a big shoot like you would do? I would have to get back into it because I haven't done a big production in probably like two years. Really. Yeah. Yeah.

00:08:41:08 - 00:08:59:20 Unknown Because I did see like your content has kind of gone more into like it's lost the plot. Yeah. What am I doing is like but that's because of like you're saying off, like it's really more it's changed the way I'm running my business and like, I'm hoping to kind of find my passion again because, like, lost my spark with content creation.

00:08:59:20 - 00:09:22:10 Unknown Yeah. Well, I, I know that your fans are so loving and supportive and like, I, you know, sometimes I like to do a small custom where it's just like, you know, talk to the camera and get me off. But I miss the whole production thing. I miss taking two weeks and being proud of it. Prerelease and launching, having that support and that feedback.

00:09:22:12 - 00:09:44:11 Unknown Adrenaline I guess I'm like for how long when you were doing those big productions, how long would it take you to film one scene? I think like the one I put the most effort into was my own katana. So I like, hired a stunt person to join me first. Like, no way. Yeah. So that's funny. Okay. You're dedicated.

00:09:44:13 - 00:09:45:18 Unknown I'm so, so funny.

00:09:45:19 - 00:10:06:19 Unknown If you're watching this right now, I bet you care about how you look, feel, and smell. Especially smell. And that's why I'm here to talk to you about King Rilla. They make all natural soaps, shampoos, lip balms and deodorants for men. But I'm not gonna lie. I use them as well. They use organic ingredients that keep you feeling fresh all day long.

00:10:06:20 - 00:10:21:02 Unknown And trust me, you deserve to treat yourself like a king. So do yourself and your girlfriend a favor by visiting them at King rilla.com. You won't regret it. Oh, and don't forget to use my promo code Lexus Star to get 15% off your order.

00:10:21:06 - 00:10:41:05 Unknown Yeah. So I, I trained for our fight scene. So that was part of the intro. And then. Well, if you count, like, costume design, that would take another month, and then the show time would be about two weeks, and then you ended in about three. Wow. Holy moly. And you had like people helping you with each aspect of it.

00:10:41:05 - 00:10:58:14 Unknown Well, I would go and hire like so like I said, I just scouted the, the stunt guy at that time, but I always had the same, like, costume designer. So like, I would have my costume design and submit it to her. Then she would, like, draw it up, send it back. I'd make the changes and then she'd go into production.

00:10:58:14 - 00:11:18:02 Unknown So. Wow. Yeah. And then like effects, sometimes with editing, I'd like go and hire someone to do, like a special effect in the video. Wow. Yeah. I haven't gone ham in so long. I mean, you need to you need to do it. You know? It's just it's time. It's time. Yeah. So how much? If you don't mind me asking what, like a production like that costs?

00:11:18:02 - 00:11:50:05 Unknown Yeah. So I think, Divo is probably the highest budget I spent, and I think all together was about 7000. Wow. Yeah. Jinx. But I think we got step up now, but, like, back, like I said, if you go, I wouldn't drop anymore. Like you had a lot recently. So two years ago I did Hooters, which I spent like $1,000 renting this, the restaurant out.

00:11:50:07 - 00:12:10:07 Unknown And that even was like, I can't do that again because the market has changed. Yeah. Before, like when I launched diva, like, it grossed, you know, crazy amount. Yeah. And now it's so fast paced, the market so fast paced, that just wouldn't happen anymore. I would write off one release for like, two months. Wow. Wow. That's kind of sad, though.

00:12:10:07 - 00:12:28:12 Unknown The things have changed. Yeah, for the worse. So yeah, because you're making you're putting so much time and effort and money and you're making like a beautiful visual. Yeah. And then exactly like it's a movie, right? Like a music video, you know, like you put so much effort and. Yeah. Okay. So you said you rented out Hooters. Was that it?

00:12:28:12 - 00:12:43:23 Unknown Was that in Canada? Yes. Okay. I didn't know we had Hooters in Canada either. Yeah. Okay. And it wasn't Hooters. It was just something that looked very, like it was a pub. Right? Okay, so I went to the local pub and I was like, okay, listen, I want to shoot this. Can I rent a bar after hours?

00:12:43:23 - 00:13:02:11 Unknown So once he closed, I came in and then of course, he stood around and watch the whole thing. I was just like, oh, I'm paying you, like, please, like, just let him have. He's like, let me frost the beard. I'm just saying to like, I didn't want you as an assistant. I just wanted to rent your space. But yeah, he was like, I was was making me embarrassed.

00:13:02:11 - 00:13:15:22 Unknown I was holy. I was going to ask you, like, what do you say? Like, I want to I want to rent this out because I want to make like, and then exactly. And then afterwards he messaged me, he's like, well, next time you can do it. I'm like, I'm good on that. No, I'm good. Okay, so you weren't.

00:13:16:00 - 00:13:33:01 Unknown No, that was just I always just do like a big investment in the intro. Okay, okay. Just get a story build and like draw people in and like, I'm all about the preview, right? Anything that's going to up the preview, I'm like, yeah, we just started that because like a lot of people like the whole role play. Like scenario.

00:13:33:01 - 00:13:49:23 Unknown And I just like boom. Like I love the build up. Yeah, exactly. So we in our videos we started doing like a build up like the intro will be like maybe seven, eight minutes and do what do you like it? Do you get into it? We do. Yeah. I mean, I miss mommy all the time. I have to be.

00:13:49:23 - 00:14:19:00 Unknown I have to play like the 18 year old who's. Yeah, he's like 18. I'm like 38. Whatever. It's okay. I miss those times and it's so popular. Hey, that's. Yeah. But like, even on the hub, okay. Like the people who are in the top, like, let's say 2030, they all have a massive intro. It's. And I was like, we started studying people because we've been on the hub for quite some time and we're like, okay, like we're making videos, we're posting, you know, we have good content, like what's going on.

00:14:19:00 - 00:14:42:05 Unknown And then we spoke to a few people that were in the top, like 20, like you need a story. You need a story. And that's what we started doing. And then I can just see it in the comments. We were like, oh my God like loving this scenario. Yeah. So the XR yeah. And I'd love to pick your brain about the hub because that's one platform I really like taken advantage of or like really discovered or used.

00:14:42:07 - 00:15:00:09 Unknown I used to have a hatred towards that, I think. And that was hard for me to transition into like, oh, they're the good guys now. So I was back in the day where I was like, piracy, right? Yeah, yeah. So I mean like a love hate relationship, but I yeah, lately I'm just like, you got to go on the hub because it's, it's I mean, we went from like.

00:15:00:09 - 00:15:19:08 Unknown I mean, when we started, like, almost five years ago, we were like in the 40,000 our mom ranking, and we just got up to 42. Yeah. And we got nominated for an award for Favorite Amateur model. So that's like super exciting. But we have the awards. Plus we have these these plaques. I think we're going to go, you know, it's in LA.

00:15:19:08 - 00:15:39:18 Unknown I know I went one. So it was so much fun. But it's at like this kind of like bar. It's not a right. It's I went like seven years ago maybe so I don't know if it's changed, but it was super fun week. Yeah I think it I mean it would be fun. And if you know, adversary logic logistically, it's like impossible, but it is what it is.

00:15:39:23 - 00:16:02:10 Unknown I told my friend to. So I have a friend, Teddy Tarantino, who he's nominated in the same category. And I was like, if I win, you got to go get my award, and you got to face me. Yes. Thank you. From where you go represent. All right, so you are doing a lot of renovations at the moment, right?

I don't know if, like, what's wrong with my brain, but I just, like, I need to figure it out. Yeah, I'll try to be natural at the conversation and then I feel like it needs to be illegal to ask someone what they do for a living.

00:16:57:03 - 00:17:14:03 Unknown Like it's a night freeze, I sweat, I'm like, is this the border? Okay, I have a game to play. Let's let's try it out. Okay? Let's put her in a scenario. Okay.

00:21:29:10 - 00:21:45:12 Unknown Yeah. No. It's like, well, if you don't accept what I do then yeah, move on and I move on. And then it's like, on to better people, you know? Definitely a good way to be like, what kind of people are you? I don't like to lie. We if we continue as friends or, you know, everything's honest, it's a good way to weed people out.

00:21:45:15 - 00:22:02:11 Unknown I know, but when it comes to, like, I gotta know where you live if you have people around you, but, like, I have people around. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And that's where it becomes a little bit complicated. I couldn't care less about the next Joe over there. It's just when I'm home. Yeah. In my surrounding there, that's when I have a bit of a.

00:22:02:11 - 00:22:25:23 Unknown Yeah. So I'm like an ultra private person, like to the point of yeah, I, I'm like a ghost in my neighborhood. Basically, you have to be as a nurse, you know? Yeah. Nurses assistants out. Yeah. You working at the hospital don't have the confidence to be a full blown nurse. So the nurses assistants? No, I don't know. It's just it's it's a tricky thing for me because it's just like I want to stop hiding.

00:22:25:23 - 00:22:46:12 Unknown Yeah, all the time. Because I have to hide when I go to the bank, I have to hide when I'm doing legit things, like, you know, doing my taxes. There was such horrible treatment, really. You know, it's awful. Like, just get yourself into certain situations where it's like that. So inappropriate. Yeah. Like you took that info and like that's horrible.

00:22:46:12 - 00:23:03:09 Unknown Yeah. So I've had so many learning curves with it that now I'm so guarded, that kind of stuff in real life, that I've built this fortress for myself and I'm awkward about it. Yeah, it's worse for me because it's like, I can't just say it comfortably, I dodge, I jump. Yeah. Question. And then you change the story.

00:23:03:09 - 00:23:20:19 Unknown You change the story? Yeah, that's no fun. I feel like especially nowadays, like everybody does it. Yeah. And it's like just, you know. But I was actually moved to Miami just to. Yes. When I was in Montreal, I felt it, it was lonely because we were at the point we were hiding and just that's how I felt constantly.

00:23:20:19 - 00:23:37:10 Unknown I needed to talk about it, you know? So that's why I went. I drank, I smoked about it. Yeah. And it felt good. I get that you told one person at the bar in a bar we used to go to, and then everybody at the bar, that's my problem. So I also learn that her lesson or it's like you think your info is safe, and then it's not.

00:23:37:10 - 00:24:01:14 Unknown It's everywhere. What do you say when you go to the bank? Sorry, baby. Oh, yeah. No, I'm like, my banking is fine now. Okay. I'm saying there's been like, PayPal shut me down. There's been like, like a little credit union that just shut me down. Right? So it's just been like banking discrimination. So. Yeah. And I just always, you know, and then the tax situation was just like harassment, you know what I mean?

00:24:01:14 - 00:24:02:06 Unknown Like

00:24:02:08 - 00:24:18:00 Unknown in my own house, you call the representative on the phone and you know, and you can hear people. Yeah. When they're on the phone. So he's in my house and he's like, hey, asking a question about my account. And then he's like, oh, well, how's she looking? And I can hear that on the phone. And it's just really upsetting.

00:24:18:02 - 00:24:36:19 Unknown Oh my God, that's Grace. It's just like, you give me that. It's just weird behavior. Yeah. So when when you're not trying to be. Yeah, exactly. That's the thing. And then trying to be normal. I'm trying to be normal. But. And because we're in this industry, they think like, oh well she you know, it's normal for her to be and to have people look at her and.

00:24:36:19 - 00:24:38:08 Unknown Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:24:38:09 - 00:24:54:08 Unknown But whatever. Moving on. I mean it's something we're going to deal with forever. Yeah. I just, you know, and then I just like let them keep asking questions about it. And like, it was basically like sitting down with somebody and they're so eagerly interesting, which is good. But then the whole boat finds out you know what I mean?

00:24:54:08 - 00:25:13:02 Unknown Like, then I felt like different people kind of knew the situation. But yeah, good, different weird quirks about the industry and like, fetishes and this and that. Yeah. And I just felt, you know, whenever I overshare, I never learn from my mistake. And then I wake up the next morning, I'm like, I can't leave this room. We never learn from our mistakes.

00:25:13:04 - 00:25:29:08 Unknown I don't know what it is like because you're like, okay, well, this person seems sure like, let me just let me just talk about it. Yeah. And there were, you know, older couple. Right. So I didn't even have that going for me where they understood things about like technology. Yeah. How old were they. Yeah. Probably like 60. Okay.

00:25:29:12 - 00:25:51:05 Unknown So they must have been shocked. Yeah. That's funny. Been talking to them all week and like, they had kind of caught me in oh like a little white lie about the about the job. Right. It's okay. Yeah. So you gotta you gotta find a new, you know, a new scapegoat. Yes. But I think, like, I'll gauge it on where I'm visiting or it's like when you're in Miami or something like that LA.

00:25:51:05 - 00:26:08:08 Unknown It's totally fine. Yeah. Let's you don't live here. So it's like, peace out. This is what I do like, I just yeah, certain things I get really embarrassed of. Yeah. So you're into Pilates? Yes. That's something I've always wanted to try and haven't done. So, like, you got this whole room set up in your house, right? Yeah.

00:26:08:08 - 00:26:28:00 Unknown It looks so pretty. Thank you. It's my favorite space of the house. Yeah, yeah. How much does one of those things cost? I've always wanted one. I got the equipment, like, a long time ago. Okay. Probably invested because I got all the pieces I got, like, it was a place in BC, actually. And, I got, like, a bulk deal.

00:26:28:03 - 00:26:46:19 Unknown Okay, nice. So I got all the pieces together, so I'm not sure that's, But. Yeah. No, but, I mean, I think I saw on Amazon, I'm an Amazon girl about you. I mean, in Canada, it's not as like, intense as here, wouldn't you say? Yeah. It's like you order something. It's coming. Like. Yes, in a few hours, you know, same day, same day delivery.

00:26:46:19 - 00:27:06:01 Unknown Yeah. Depends on what it is. Yeah. And now you're working on your sleep K sleep plan. What's happening there. Well, okay, so I turned my main room into like a set. Okay. And that was a huge mistake because I didn't go. Why didn't I see that I'd have to leave? Yeah. Under this massive mirror on the ceiling. Okay.

00:27:06:01 - 00:27:27:09 Unknown I'm like, that's not good feng shui. It's not good to say I first night sleeping under, I was like, what? You just, like, think I'm changing? That's immediately freaky. Yeah. So, I don't know. Lately I've just been big into that whole thing of, like, biohacking your sleep and, like, stuff like that. So I thought, dark room. I have this area that used to be a meditation area.

00:27:27:11 - 00:27:44:01 Unknown I'm like, I'll downsize to a queen size bed from the king size, and it'll be a dark room and I'll, like, have it all naturally done. And like, I just I'll do nothing else in there but sleep. That's amazing in my body too. Just like. Because that's the other thing. Like if I'm filming on the bed that I'm sleeping, it's just not restful.

00:27:44:01 - 00:28:02:21 Unknown Yeah. Thinking work. Yeah. It's very true. Yeah. So it's like the office last. The last year I just got addicted to my sleep score. It's like really every morning I'm like, oh my God, I can't even imagine what mine would be, would be like. So you don't track your sleep. No I don't, yeah, but is it, what's it like to watch I do it with the aura ring.

00:28:02:23 - 00:28:19:16 Unknown Okay. I was I was looking into that, but I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Yeah, just wearing it was there. Yeah. Like, you know I know it's good for, like, checking your fertility and like, your period. Yeah. It's really good tracking that. So you recommend I do. Yeah. It's it's not good on exercise but that's not what I was using it for.

00:28:19:16 - 00:28:44:06 Unknown It was more like, like cycle wise. And then sleep. Okay. It does the trick. Mother's day was yesterday. Yeah. So. Oh, next year. No. Okay. So I want to talk a little bit about, the big companies that you worked for, you worked for. Now, what I love about you is that when people work for most of the time, it's a boy and a girl, right?

00:28:44:06 - 00:29:04:02 Unknown And you don't know who you're going to film with. You're going to find out, like a few weeks before. And as a solo performer, I feel like people have this idea that you can't do much. Right. Like, so how was your experience with I love them like it was what a blessing to like be able to do that.

00:29:04:05 - 00:29:19:19 Unknown But I feel like that was lucky circumstance. Lucky time okay well not call it lucky because it was a bad time but Covid right. Oh yeah I feel like that kind of opened the door for me. They had reached out because they knew like I was, they had reached out before about doing something, but I was solo. Right.

00:29:19:21 - 00:29:39:14 Unknown So they're like, this is a good opportunity. I did a live for them and then I did the solo scene for them. But yeah, that was like really good experience. It's and it's also definitely good exposure, right? Yeah. Because I was such a big so grateful for that company. Yeah that's amazing. We they approached us as well to do and I was like, we just do it between us.

00:29:39:14 - 00:29:57:22 Unknown Like that's totally fine that they. Yeah, exactly. You know, and it's just like, okay, I'm being recognized for what I do and like the respecting my boundaries. Like, yeah, they didn't even push that. Like, okay. That's why you do. Exactly. I don't want to change anything. Do what you do and you do it because I feel like the industry that might be a misconception.

00:29:57:22 - 00:30:20:01 Unknown I've never felt like that from companies like I've stayed solo and I don't have companies pressuring or no trying to push that boundary. Yeah. You know, like, I just feel like that might be a big misconception about the industry because, like, maybe some stories come out and unfortunately, maybe people have bad experiences, but I don't know. It's said did your guys's experience goes well, ours was good.

00:30:20:01 - 00:30:35:20 Unknown I mean, we I don't know about you if you filmed with them. Filmed. Right. So we filmed it on our own as well. Yeah. So it was a bit more. It was harder, especially for him, because he had to get the pictures yet to make sure the lighting was good. The rental house, we had to rent a house, so.

00:30:36:01 - 00:30:50:11 Unknown And it wasn't even like about the money. At the end of the day, it was just to have that exposure and to be like, they wanted me. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's not if it exactly. It's the validation there. And it's like it's a good. Yeah. Opportunity. Did they ever call you back for more more scenes.

00:30:50:11 - 00:31:09:04 Unknown Yeah. Well I mean like, I've just kept a good relationship. Like the door is not closed. The door is not open. You know what I mean? Like, we touch base, I don't go to all the events, but when I do, this is the thing with me. So two years ago and I go days and I'm just like, I just see everyone interaction.

00:31:09:04 - 00:31:30:13 Unknown I'm like, there's so much more to the industry. I haven't experienced this in. Oh, it's my FOMO. Yeah, I'm missed it. Oh yeah. So then I kind of think maybe.
