And at Search Engine, I think most journalists in the U.S., we don't pay for information, meaning we don't pay sources to talk to us.
Right.
But I should also say, like, there does seem to be, like, a real non-malicious cultural difference here, which is just, like...
there are different boundaries in different countries around journalism.
And one of those differences in the UK is that reporters are a bit more comfortable offering sources like some compensation for information.
Like I found some poll data saying that 53% of reporters in the UK believe paying people for confidential information is justified on occasion compared to 5% of journalists in the US.
And on the other, like, this is also just a guy who has sustained an entire career off of selling the information that he does have.
So, like, it shouldn't be totally surprising that he's asking for this.
Like, in some ways, it's a perfectly reasonable request.
But the agent ends up offering us the butler for 1,500 pounds, which is like 2,000-ish dollars.
We politely decline.
Yeah.
But actually it was okay because this is around the same time that we're about to fly to England.
And honestly, like, it's funny that you say it that way because that is kind of the extent that I thought about it.
I was just like, oh, it's over there.
Like, we'll be closer to the object of our reporting next.
Oh, Derek.
Maybe.
Honestly, it's a little embarrassing listening back to this that we just kind of hopped on the tube and went to Buckingham Palace without a reporting plan.
I mean, we're walking towards it.
