And basically, the TV networks were like, why would we buy a show if the digital brand is going to be running at the same time? Because they didn't want to stop doing All Gas No Brakes to make a TV show.

And so I was to begin filming in late October, you know, during the campaign trail, maybe mid-October, up until November, and then in the following months to see what would happen. This meant that I couldn't film anything for All Gas, No Brakes, the digital show, because I had to dedicate 100% of my time to making this perfect movie. Yes.
