Hi, everyone, it's Blake.
Angie.
Welcome back to another episode of What's the Reality?
And while AD is spending some lovely quality time with her new baby girl, Blake and I are filling in for today's episode, and our new amazing guest is... Zach Wickham.
Yay! Thanks for having me, guys. Appreciate you coming on. It's been a minute. I know.
We chatted and... I was like, when was the last time we saw each other?
What insights does Zack Wickham share about life on reality TV?
It's been a while. It's been a while. You guys haven't been to LA properly in a while.
Properly. I remember it was like a dusty bar.
We went out for drinks.
It was the Belmont.
Bravo staple, the Belmont.
So how you been? What you been up to? It's been great. I've just been, you know, going around doing stuff. It's awesome. Good, good, good.
So are you enjoying your newfound celebrity, if you will?
You know, it's kind of crazy because I feel like if you don't want to have people come up to you and you don't want to, like, interact with people, going on reality TV is probably not what you should be doing. Very true. Luckily, I'm a people person and I like interacting with people. So it's been great.
Good, good. You're so right, though, because some people do. come off the show and they're like, oh, I hate it. Well, why did you go on reality TV then? Because you know it's part of the job, right?
I'm like, you get that you're literally like their pseudo or like parasocial best friend now.
Exactly. And I always say, if someone comes up to you and they're like, oh, I don't want pictures. I always say, like, you're lying. Like, you like it. You want people to come up to you somewhere deep inside of you. So, like, just dive into it.
Own it. I say that same thing. I always tell people, if you see me out, this might be the only time that you see me out. So, please come up to me. Like, you know, if you're on vacation and you see me, it's okay. Now, if I'm eating, I might be, like, one second. But if you can do it selfie style, I always say have the camera out. Mm-hmm. have whatever lighting you want ready, and I'm down.
How does Zack feel about his newfound celebrity status?
The camera, the lights, the ceiling.
Do you ask people if they want a photo? Because that's what I do. I'm like, it's okay.
I do it both ways. So if I'm in a rush, I won't ask, but if they ask, I'll still do it. But if they're talking to me and I can tell they're trying, I'll always be like, would you like a picture? There you go. Once or twice that's backfired and they've been like, no, I'm good. And I'm like, okay. Okay.
That's like low key my favorite.
I'm like, well, never mind then.
So when you were at BravoCon, I saw you at BravoCon. How crazy was that? What kind of experience? Was it just next level?
I don't know. don't even know I don't even know how to describe that experience because it's like I thought for sure okay some people watch the valley I know it's like a big I'm sure people watch it whatever but I didn't realize that every single person that was there had watched every single show that's on Bravo that's how crazy it was where it's like it was almost like beetle level status like I couldn't even think like oh like one direction no it was like beetle level like every single person was like screaming your name it was insane It's been so much fun.
And it was your first one? Yeah. And have you experienced anything closely remotely to that? You've done meet and greets?
Not really. I mean, like, I think the closest is like, if I go to Disneyland, I'll maybe get like one or two people like big touristy areas, Vegas in general, I will get a few people come up, but, or like, I'll get the DMS where I saw you on the train and I didn't want to say hi. And I'm like, well, you could have come say hi. Um, but I always think that's funny. Cause I'll like see people like, look, I'm like, I'm gonna get a DM later. I was like, I know I'm gonna get a DM, but, um, Other than that, absolutely nothing close to this level. It was, it was an amazing experience though.
Yeah. I remember I went to BravoCon two years ago. I was DJing out there for BravoCon in Vegas and I didn't know what I was walking into either.
