I think it will be like Chris Harrison from The Bachelor.
He doesn't actually care at all who gets the rose.
He's just supposed to ask.
You know what I mean?
And he goes back to the hotel, the nine star hotel in Thailand where they're staying.
And so, but I was like, came for, I wanted to do this because of what the work I'd seen Morgan Spurlock do.
And then he Bourdain do and Michael and Michael Moore.
And so I was like, I'm, I'm, I want to be in it and have decisions and make decisions.
It took me several years to get that level of control.
But that episode, there was just times, right?
Like for the thing, the story I always tell is like,
at the, at the, the, the meeting, those clan members in the forest where we're going to do the cross burning later.
And we were there for hours because they wanted it for, we got there early and it had to get dark.
And I'm talking to the clans members and they're filming.
And at some point I look around and I realized that the crew has their cameras down.
And I realized I'm just talking to this clan member for no reason.
And I have to go to the showrunner and be like, Hey man, when we're not filming, let me know.
I don't just want to talk to the KKK.
