There was no, you know, there was no unscripted. Matter of fact, we were on one of the first unscripted reality shows, The Ann and Nicole Show. If you remember, there was only Real World on MTV. There was the Osbournes, I think was on MTV. And then the Anna Nicole show on E! Those were the three only reality shows. And we were on the Anna Nicole show.

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
So it just continued my fascination with the love of television and TV. And it's really funny because half the people we watched on Days of Our Lives and all these TV shows, they're all our friends now. We're friends with half of them. And it's a great community that we built here in Beverly Hills. I love it. And I love what I do.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
I think when you said the because, the because is because I can and I will. Because my motto has always been, I will not let someone stop me or say no. If they can't produce my show, then I'm going to pick up cameras, pull teams together and produce my show myself. And that's how I started Gowning Out.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Well, I mean, you're putting yourself out there for everybody. That's, you know, that's not easy. We've done a lot of reality shows. We did Bravo. We did E! We did Lifetime. We did a whole bunch of shows. But you're literally opening your door, your life to everybody to see. And some people are going to judge you for it. Some people aren't. But, you know, you've got the trolls. We judge back.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
We do. There you go. Incredible rundown. I think that the decision was that so much crazy stuff was going on in this boutique and in our lives that we had to put it out there. We're actually going to do a reality show that Anna Nicole was going to produce. before she died and we had been talking to her about doing a television show, reality show.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And we created a show called Designer Family about two gay men raising a teenage daughter in Beverly Hills. And it didn't get picked up because America 16 years ago was not ready for two gay men on television. Can you believe that? They were not ready for two gay men on TV. Raising a teenage daughter.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Yeah. Yeah. But then just so many crazy things are happening in the boutique. I mean, we had a, one time we had a bride, he was doing a fainting bride. She came in and she fainted, fell, fell, straight back on her head. We thought she cracked her head open. It's crazy. Betty White came in and we almost killed Betty White because she was bleeding.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And then she was on Coumadin because she was scratching her pins on the dress when he was pinning her. And so all this stuff just kept happening. And we're like, okay, this has got to be a show. So we just picked up the iPhones.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
No, but you've had a lot of firsts. I mean, he had the very first awards gown for Bella Thorne. She was nominated Young Artist Awards. You know what the Young Artist Awards are? The Oscars. And he did her very first red carpet gown for the Youth Oscars. I mean, you've had a lot of firsts. And Nicole is buried in his gown. Your gown's on the First Lady's.

Listen, during COVID, our political views are not really, you know, we don't go into that, but it doesn't matter on political views. During COVID, when Trump was in the White House, We sent a bunch of masks to all the Secret Service and all the staff in the White House and to Trump and Melania.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
It's cool.

Yeah.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And then the total opposite is he's done gowns for Hillary Clinton. So it's like it doesn't matter. Republican, Democrat. It doesn't matter. He's a designer. It doesn't matter if she is an adult performer or soap star. Yeah.

Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Okay. And the rest is history. And we've been together ever since and inseparable. I mean, we go everywhere. We travel everywhere. Every year we pick a brand new country that we haven't been to and we go there and celebrate New Year's. So this year is Amsterdam, right? Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
You know, I think we compliment one another in different things. There's many strengths that I have that he doesn't possess. And there's many strengths that he has that I don't possess. Um, the design aspect, creating, putting all these beautiful gowns together. Uh, he does all of that. I can't sew a fucking, can I say fucking, I can't sew a fucking button on. You just did. I can't, I can't.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
He can tell like my necklace, uh, one set of my pearls I broke and he's like, Oh, I'll fix it. He knows how to string it, fix it. I can't do any of that. I couldn't, he was trying to show me one time how to thread a needle and Number one, I couldn't even see the damn needle. I don't know how he could see to put this little thread inside this little tiny, like impossible.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
So there are things like that that I just cannot do that he does. But then there's things that I do. Social media, producing our TV show, putting our show together. Let me clarify. Marketing it.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
You're just asking me how to get on Zoom.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
I want him to feel needed. Bullshit. You didn't know how to get on. Oh, okay. We'll go with that. Sure. He didn't help me get on.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
You don't even know how to use Frame.io. I tried to give you an edit to look at. You didn't even know how to log in.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Yeah, I don't need someone to make me feel that way. I know that is the case. It's all good.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
You know, we have fun. Life is having all about having fun, taking on doing new things that you've never done before. Like we went to, you know, I'll give you an example. We went to Peru. And we were river rafting in category four and category five rapids in the Urabamba River. And then in a kayak. And then they pulled over and they said, who wants to go up on the bridge? It's a 40 foot bridge.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
He did.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Did you want to go first?
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
I convinced him. He pushed me off. He was so nervous. But you know what? Those are the kind of crazy things that we do. We have fun. We went to Thailand and we went snorkeling in the middle of this beautiful ocean. I think life is all about experiences and having fun with the person you love and making memories. And that's what we do.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
But also, we never let the cameras get in the way. I mean, all these housewives, they break up every time. All these shows, they get on a show, they break up. We don't, we don't let the cameras rule our life and change things.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Well, there's some really fun, interesting things coming out on Gowning Out Beverly Hills Season 5. We were the first gay couple in the Middle East to be on the cover of an international magazine.
Mick Unplugged

Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Let me tell you. I was like, okay. They always put us together. Every time they book us, book me, oh, they need to bring him. Always together. This one thing I booked by myself, did by myself. He was not with me on it. We went to the event. The showrunners saw him. They're like, oh, my God. He's perfect for Gabriel. He'll play Gabriel. I'm like... Even when I try, I can't get away. So it's okay.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
It doesn't work that way. And then the fucking poster came out and he wasn't on the poster. I was.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And then they got rid of one of the other characters. And they put his face on the fucking poster too.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

My man. People are going to believe this.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Okay, so I always loved entertainment. I always loved... television, movies, entertainment. When I was a kid, it was really interesting. Before the VCR, I would tape record television programs and then listen back to them. One of my favorite things, Battlestar Galactica. I mean, the original Battlestar Galactica, which was like this
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
sci-fi show, I would record it on an audio recorder because we didn't have a VCR back then. And then when, of course, we got the VCR, I started recording all of these shows. He's taking Snow White out. I started recording all of these shows. And then my mother, she got me into soaps. Her soap was Days of Our Lives. So I would record days every day, watch it with my mom.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
It's a really bonding moment for us. But it was really interesting because when I was Recording all these TV shows and these like movies and they would come out and watch them on video and whatnot. I was always looking at the bigger picture of the TV show or the bigger picture of the movie, how the sets looked, how the costumes looked, how the actors interacted with each other.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
It was very it was always fascinating to me and I always loved it. And I always knew I wanted to be in television, in film. either behind the scenes, in the scene, all of it. I mean, I always, I'd wanted to be an actor when I was a kid. And then I kind of got sidetracked to modeling and I modeled in Europe, in New York, in Japan. I was a Versace model.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
I did stuff for Genera, which nobody even knows that brand anymore. And Gucci, this was many years ago. Yeah. And I just loved it. I loved being in front of people and talking to people and interacting with people. And then from there, I went to being a casting director and managing people and working on other people's careers. And I did that for many, many, many years in casting and production.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And I always loved the whole big picture of putting it together. So when we decided our TV show, Gowning Out in Beverly Hills, which is on Prime Video, started as a YouTube show. Basically started with us picking up the iPhones and filming the fittings because we had all this crazy stuff going on in the boutique. And then from there, it went to Amazon. And now it's in 60 countries.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
It's on Amazon. It's on Prime, Roku, Tubi, Plex. We just got a licensing deal that they are now going to split all four seasons of our show up into mini episodes. For Moby, I think it is. Moby, I believe, is what it is. You can watch it on your phone or whatever. So that was kind of cool. And I take part of every aspect of it.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
Not am I just on camera with it, but I'm also, you know, making the notes for the editors. Whatever, I'm structuring the episodes, putting it all together. So I'm doing a whole creative aspect of it behind the scenes, which is why we won the American Reality TV Award. And last year, we won four Telly Awards. So season five is coming out probably in about a month.
Mick Unplugged
Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged
And then we'll be submitting for all the award seasons again. And the next big project we're working on is where we want to turn our book, Anna Nicole Smith, Portrait of an Icon, into a movie. So we can tell the story of Anna Nicole's life. So I think from a child, I always loved the fascination of storytelling. Not just, you know, back then it was only scripted.
