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

When it became two days, like I was so excited and so like honestly anxiety riddled because it was such a massive platform that I went out to the desert by myself out in the Mojave, got a hotel and just kind of sat there and then Movie release day comes. It was supposed to come out at 8 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.

I remember it was like 12 hours left, 10 hours left, and then eight minutes before the movie at 7.52, or I guess it was sent at 10.52 East Coast time, I got a text message requesting a portion of my fat HBO check to contribute toward Apparently years of therapy bills that this person had accrued after she says that she felt that I pressured her into giving consent years prior.

And I was confused, not only because of the timing, but because this is someone that I hadn't seen in years or spoken to in years. And I presume that I was on good terms with. So I didn't respond to the text message.

And then when I didn't respond, about seven days later, this person made some TikTok videos and with the help of some friends launched an online campaign that got picked up by the press pretty quickly. So what did you feel like when you got that text? Well... It's tough because on one hand, I'm not opposed to restitution being part of a private accountability process for real abuse.

If you've hurt someone to an extent that it took them out of work or something, I think they're entitled to some money. But unfortunately, as I later learned, this person had legal counsel and this was an attempt to basically create evidence by extracting a confession from me to use as precedent for a civil lawsuit to the tune of a couple million dollars. It's dark. Yeah.

How did you meet this person? Well, I met them when I was 22. And like I told you, I was living in an RV making this show called All Gas, No Brakes. And I would travel between cities like every other day. And so I would basically pick a new city. And I got in this like pretty bad habit of what I would say is essentially treating Instagram like a dating app. You know, I would go to a new place.

I'd post my location. I'd surf the DMs and I would look for like fans to meet up with. It wasn't always girls. It was just people to party with because I was also partying every night. But a lot of times ended up being girls and stuff. And so that's kind of how this situation was. I didn't have sex with this person.
