Like we just, it just feels sometimes like you're shouting into the abyss and nobody cares.

And this is the first time in 22 years of this kind of work that I felt someone finally went, oh my God, people,

why hasn't anybody been doing stories about this?

And I'm like, oh my God, we all have been.

And I think it is thanks to a lot of the Epstein coverage, Julie K. Brown, all the New York Times folks.

People have been doing so much really good work with Me Too.

So it's all come together.

But telling this like a good yarn was actually part of the plan.

Another thing we did, so it was like fact checking like overboard.

So in journalism, you're really not supposed to let the sources read what you've written before it publishes.

I would say by the time I would put up the story, the script on a Zoom, and I would read through it and usually go through two fact checks, sometimes three with folks.

And any time something hit them as off, they would say it.

Because at that point, I had a pretty good relationship with them.

And also, like, they're just really awesome dudes who just were really.

But so there were quite a few moments.

I don't know.

Jonathan, are you here?

Hi.

I'm so excited to see you.
