Sometimes they're like, well, you know, it was like, you know, he was, you know, looking at me weird and, you know, I felt, like, pressured and, oh, I don't know, like...

You saw him?

Okay.

So we know what that person's saying, but they didn't say it.

So what might happen is you'd find parts where they've said something that implies that.

So we're always trying to just clarify what they're doing in terms of taking things completely out of context or saying things.

I personally haven't ever used a Frank and grab for that.

I can actually put hand on heart and say, I have never used a Frank and grab to make somebody say something that wasn't

aligned with what their sentiment was in that interview.

Most of the time when somebody is being a dick or saying or being salacious, you see it coming out of their mouth.

And that's what the audience ultimately knows.

They're like, you can blame the edit and the frankens or whatever, but we saw you saying it.

We saw you looking at her like that.

We saw you saying it to her face.

And so I really do begrudge the whole it's a frankengrab thing.

you can get really hung up on being like, I didn't say that specific thing, but that's like straw man argument, right?

Like just because you didn't say that specific thing does not then equal that none of this happened.

Well, I just don't think it's as salacious as people want it to be.

That's the truth.

And I'm not really defending maths because before I worked on maths, I was just an audience like everybody else.
