Like there was a point where people like me and Louis Theroux and John Ronson and were that... Like we were the ones going out into the unknown and bringing back these stories.
And people's response was like, I just had no idea.
There's still like...
There's still a Klansman around here in 2003, you know, like, and our work had all this energy to it because it was that, but the backdrops has changed.
And like, for instance, these things like Alex Jones, for instance, which I'm sure your listeners and viewers probably know about this guy from Infowars and big conspiracy theory.
He was like,
On the fringes and, like, I remember, like, just being on the radio on Triple J with Father Bob McGuire and, like, I'd be the one reporting to kind of, Bob, I was lying awake at night, I'm streaming this guy and you've got to listen to this, you've got to listen to this.
And it was like.
Like all these people were like so fringe and sort of like I was the one bringing it back to the – and then around 2015 and 16 and with Trump rising and then all these things that were just –

And it was like all the years, suddenly this whole – the whole circus had become the mainstream.
So, yes, therefore I –
That's why I tried to shift into, hey, I'm going to look into cigarettes and stuff like that.
Although kind of, you know, I was still me in that.
And there seemed to be a lot of visits to churches and synagogues for a book that was about cigarettes.
Yeah.
