It shouldn't have been me.

It should have been the CDC.

Well, the world of Del Bigtree.

It's the pollsters that are calling people who aren't picking up their phones.

That was a scary time because I was trying to do that with no script.

So I had like bullet points on a yellow pad of just sections I wanted to cover.

And I remember we filmed it and I was just saying it to camera and it's hard talking to a camera.

So we messed it up.

I remember Dan and I, I think we killed the first day shooting because I just said, I'm so bad at it.

My armpits were soaked.

If you watch that video progressively, I get bigger, bigger pit stains.

And then when it came out, I remember there's a famous podcaster, Patrick Bet-David, who is very, he loves that style that I mentioned earlier of pinning people against each other.

And it does really well for him viewership wise, like the us versus them mentality, no matter the topic.

He called me on my cell one day and he said, do you want to debate Judy Minkovitz?

And I'm like, what?

Like, who are you?

How are you calling me?

And he's like, I represent this show.
