It was a really weird situation because they had, and I have all the texts, but they had DM'd me and been like, we'd love to have you on the show.

And I was like, great, let's take a meeting.

Me and my producer, the one who's producing our podcast, meet with one of his team members.

I forget his name.

And they're not trying to pay me.

The most they can do is $500, but they'll fly me out.

And I was like, okay.

But I would have to take off work because I actually do, contrary to popular belief, have a job.

So I was like, okay.

I don't know if I'm going to take off work for this because they were going to try and get me to debate Rachel Wilson.

And I was like, I don't really want to take off work to fly across the country to debate Rachel fucking Wilson, you know?

Yeah.

So I DM them, and I was like, you know, it's an interesting opportunity, but, you know, I need to know who I'm debating before I can confirm and, like, fly across the country.

And then a week later, they send me an email, like, thanks for confirming.

I was like, I just told you I wasn't confirming.

Oh.

And then...

And then I got a brand deal that was paying significantly more and I wouldn't have to leave my house.

So I was like, okay, I think I'm just not gonna do this.

They haven't told me who I'm debating.
