God, I wish I could talk about that day specifically, and I can't yet.

But it was.

It was like...

you know and drawing in comparisons to like the first season but like we've you know built up this world and now we're about to like I would think of it as like pull the curtain back as opposed to pull the rug out because the pulling a rug out from under one's foot seems mean and we were just like

you know revealing the surprise but the way that nick hatton one of our eps put it like from day one um and to get through to get me through like the little bit of um like decept you know we're there's some deception happening which is fair to say but that um i knew that anthony's life was going to change forever and i knew that the world was going to see what a great human he is and i knew that um and as nick hatton put it like we were going to throw him like one great big surprise party

And so framing it like that made it a lot easier to tell this like super massive little white lie, you know?

I wish I could claim those balls.

Those balls do not belong to me because I was shitting my pants at that moment.

I was like, you're going to ask him what?

You know what I mean?

Then it's over.

I would have been like, yeah, cover for me.

This is weird.

This is so weird.

Yeah.

I mean, we were all terrified.

I think that they had a pretty good sense that he had already made some connections and that he was happy to...

I mean, this temp agency flew him to Los Angeles for this job, and it's a beautiful property, Oak Canyon Ranch.

That's actually the name of the retreat center.

And so I think he was like, you know, in spite of that, like, I'm here, I commit.
