Hello, gorgeous. Oh, my freaking God, I cannot believe it. We are back for season 11. We're recapping shit. I feel like I'm going to shit by pants. We have Alex Basket as my guest today. Our guest, Welcome to the casting couch, the legitimate one.

Thank you for having me in the casting couch.

Are you nervous?

A little bit.

I have to say.

I'm a little starstruck because usually I talk to you and we just like shoot the shit.

But now you're sitting here and I'm like, okay, this is the creator of all things

that make me survive during like the rough moments. Like you are the person that created

OC, B.H. Vanderpump. I mean, do you ever think like, holy shit, everything I touch turns to gold?

No, not at all, because I just always think that everyday gold is going to turn into shit.

Trying to keep them going. And sometimes I just wonder how I'm still here.

That makes sense. Yeah.

I'm very curious about how you got into producing.

Well, producing reality television. was that always the goal?

Goal?

Or were you, like, wanting to be in movies and scripted?

I used to joke that no one's goal was to end up in reality.

You just did.

Yeah, totally.

And it's changed, obviously.

I think that, you know, in the pecking order of things, reality is much higher.

And I think things are blurred and blended now.
