I only had 15 minutes to eat food and I sit down... and eat food and I sit down and my girlfriend Tess, she is like 'Steve, have you looked at your phone yet and I'm like no and she's like you have to open your phone right now, you were trending on Twitter."
Nedoroscik further recalled the moment and said:
"I opened up my phone and it was going crazy and I was like what is happening in my life right now, so yeah that was a very surreal moment."
