Um, it's still lying.

It's still manipulating.

And I don't, I just, but again, it's, it's candid camera.

So the worst one was a show called Film Fakers.

Did you ever see that?

No.

So it was my dear friend and amazing actor that I've worked with, he's in my new Red Weather podcast, Chris Wilde.

was on this as an actor.

Um, and what they would do is create fake movies and hire actors and convince them that they were making a horrible movie that these actors would commit to not knowing that everyone on the crew was an actor pretending to make a movie.

It was, so they were always like 20 somethings, young 20 somethings who are getting their break, a big role.

And like,

You know, like they did like a horror movie that was like, you know, so ridiculously dumb.

But they would write whole scripts and they would actually go out with a camera crew and be shooting scenes.

But then meanwhile, be shooting a behind the scenes documentary of the making of this movie, which is the actual reality show.

And they would do multiple days of shooting before they revealed to these actors that like, ha ha, you're actually on a reality show.

You don't have the career, like the moment you thought about it.

See, that, yeah, that's different.

It was mean, man.

And Chris felt really bad about it.

Of course.
