Crystal Polite

Which they were originally, before everyone knew about HGTV, it was A&E with Thay and Meryl.

The first one.

So they were looking to now get back into the home space and they were looking for three shows.

They were green lighting three shows.

So they was looking and searching all over and they were looking at hundreds of people.

They had ended up DMing us.

At a certain point, I just stopped going into the DMs.

I wasn't really looking at them.

So one of the executives, the casting company, contacted, called our 800 number, got our secretary, made our secretary promise that

to give me the message and to promise to get me to call her back.

So they had been DMing us for a year, which we hadn't known.

And I had seen it in there, but I, one time, but I think it's spam.

So, you know, I scrolled by it.

And so as soon as I walked in, our secretary at the time was like, hey, a lady named, I think it's Allie from Annie.

She said, if you could please give her a call back.

She really wants to speak to you.

And I said, oh, OK.

And I kept going on, kept walking to go into the office.

She came in.

She was like, no, she made me promise to have you please give her a call back.
