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

Yeah, I mean, I've yet to speak on this for a lot of reasons, mostly because it was a hard time and it's a sensitive subject. And I've wanted to prioritize the reporting, but I think that now I'm ready and able to do so. Everything sort of started on December 30th, 2022. And that was the release date of the HBO project. Like I told you, we didn't know when the movie was going to come out.

We weren't told that it was going to come out on that date until early November. And so it was like, oh my God, here we go. We got a movie coming out. HBO had, I didn't even know it was going to be them. So... every day for those 50 days to where I received word and to the movie announcement or to the movie release was like, I was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. You know what I mean?

It was like every day. I just, I saw the movie release date as the first day of like the rest of my life. And so I remember the week of the movie release, it was like every day I was like, Oh my God, six days, five days, four days. And I,

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.
