Yes, very good for you. So we, we'll get to that. There's also an interesting report that dropped analyzing a State Department cable that went out very under the radar. If we get to the, if we don't get that today, I will cover that next week. But we are going to lead off this episode with what has been long promised, which is the full behind the scenes investigation that I participated in with Discovery Channel about Jeffrey Epstein's death. Because that episode did air on Discovery Channel the other day. I see loads of DMS of people asking me where you can watch it. You can watch it on YouTube TV if you have that. The show is called Conspiracies Cover Ups. I believe it was episode five. It's a 41 minute episode kind of show stuff and I'm going to give you all the color commentary of what it didn't show. More on that in a second but it'll eventually be on HBO Max as well. So for those of you who are unfamiliar, I actually posted an Instagram video back in January basically asking all of you or everyone who follows me on Instagram at Julian D. Dory. By the way, if you don't follow me over there, we whether or not I should do what I was invited to do with Discovery Channel with, with Andy Bustamante. So for people who don't know Andy Bustamante, he is the formerly now long hair, curly haired CIA guy. He has chopped off all the hair which from a PR perspective, Andy, big mistake. But anyway, I go way back with Andy with Respect to my show. He was back on episode 97. 107. 150-24299 and 3:34, I believe. And then we also did some crossovers with Danny on. I think that was concrete 166 and concrete. And then Danny Jones, when he changed the name to it, I want to say 206 as well. So I've probably been on camera with the guy on air 24 hours over time, obviously, he and I have some intense disagreements on certain worldviews. I have always maintained publicly and privately to him, he's a very good sport about it. That I have no doubt he is still associated with CIA, even if it's indirectly. I don't think he ever leave in some ways. And he's certainly no John Kiriakou with respect to being a dissident to CIA. Hey, guys, if you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five star review. They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. Nonetheless, the reason I asked publicly on Instagram what you guys thought and put a poll out as to whether or not I should do this is because I've never done traditional TV before and I get very concerned about how stuff gets cut up. If I could get taken out of context and, you know, not for nothing, but in the past, you know, I've had some horror stories told on my podcast by various people over the years about some things that Discovery channel has done, and that gave me a lot of pause. So when I asked you, when I explained the opportunity and asked you guys on Instagram whether or not I should do it, the poll was almost about 8020 that I should do it. The 20% who said I shouldn't were very loud. And I fully understand why, but. But my friend Sean actually summed up a response that I got from a few different people the best that kind of put me over the top with like, all right, let's do it. He was like, hey, do it. You've talked about it publicly beforehand. Give people a heads up that you're doing it, which is why I've done that in previous episodes. And then once it comes out, if there's things you have a problem with, you know, you can clear the record and explain everything that happened. I want to start off by saying, you know, it's unfortunate that they have to edit down into 41 minutes an investigation that clearly was about probably 18 hours worth of work, which was more than just me on there, by the way. I'll get to that. In a minute. But, like, you know, I. I don't think they really took stuff out of context or anything. I thought they did as good a job as they could do. I still want to watch it again to take, like, closer notes. But as far as, like the T. First of all, the production team I worked with out there, which is not Discovery Channel, I forget the name of it, but the whole team was fucking awesome. Andy's team was amazing. I'll get to like what that looked like and everything, but they put the edit together into Discovery Channel, signs off on it, and it came out fine. That said, when we were there that day, my day alone was an eight hour shoot. And when you combine all the other experts, I'll talk about Andy again. Probably filmed about 18 hours worth of content. He and I, you know, we know how independent we come from the independent media world, so we know how that works. And TV is a whole different beast that he has a little more familiarity with now. And we were just looking at each other like, man, how the hell are you gonna knock this down? Because there are so many intricate things in this investigation, effectively, like just that day alone, I was there. We recorded two documentary full length podcasts that really needed all the details and breathing because it was very free flowing. The only cuts we had, like, takes, if you were when my New Jersey ass went a little too far, and I'd be like, you know, I was. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, this is tv. Like. Like that. Let me say that again. That was really dumb. You know, stuff like that. And then the other example would be once we would finish filming something, if we were looking through pages, they'd be like, all right, now we're gonna come behind with the cameras. You don't have to say anything. Just scroll through the same pages you were with your finger for B roll. The rest of it was literally cameras rolling. Everybody goes to explain what we investigated in detail in four segments, worked around commercials, is extremely difficult because the investigation was related to Epstein's death. Now here's the full context. Once I decided to do it, Andy had asked me to do this. And then once we went out and put the poll and everyone was like, do it. I said, okay, I'll do it. And his set is out in Colorado. So I flew out there the last weekend in February, got in there on a Friday night, went to bed, got up to take a piss at about 3:30, maybe 4am and Colorado time. And something inside me was like, why do I feel like we invaded Iran? Wow. Yeah, my dumb ass never does this. But I took my phone out because I'm like, I just want to make sure we didn't do it. And voila. We had invaded Iran. So I didn't sleep the rest of the night. I was beside myself about it. So I'm like fucking exhausted. It's a 7:15am car ride out of their call to go to set, so I'm like, oh shit.
