#425 โ€“ Andrew Callaghan: Channel 5, Gonzo, QAnon, O-Block, Politics & Alex Jones

But yeah, I would say right around Minneapolis protest, Portland protest, Proud Boys rally time when I was really in there is when I started to be acclaimed as more than just like a ambush meme lord. Did that have effect on you, the fame? Not at that point.

Well, the country was basically closed. Yeah. So it wasn't like there was a street to walk down where people were like, there's that guy. So getting famous during COVID made it so when the country reopened, it was as if like my life really changed because I was like, oh, all these fans I made during COVID are like seeing me out at the bar. This is cool. Yeah.

At first, fame is the best thing ever because you can go anywhere in the country and these spaces that you normally feel a bit insecure in, like a local dive bar, a cool restaurant, a coffee shop, where you just be another guy, all of a sudden they're like, oh my God, I'm a big fan. They give you like free stuff. You get this sense of acceptance that you never would have gotten before. Yeah.

I'm sure you know what it's like. Yeah, it's beautiful. The only downside of fame, really, is that you can't really be anonymous again. And you have to seek out more strange environments to be anonymous in. Like right now, I live in the desert, basically. And I want to live in the middle of nowhere in the Mojave Desert.

Not because I'm scared of people, but because I just want to be like curious me again. People don't know and I can ask questions to people that I'm interested in without them going, I remember, I see you here or I see you there. That's the main thing. That's what I loved about hitchhiking.
