0:00.0 | My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage. |
0:07.0 | Freedom! Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. |
0:21.6 | Freedom. |
0:23.6 | So I recently got back from a trip where I had to go to Los Angeles. |
0:32.6 | Now, I go to LA maybe two or three times a year and it's almost always at the invitation of somebody |
0:38.7 | in the entertainment industry. Now, if there's anything I've learned about film and TV, it's that |
0:44.1 | it's a super unpredictable, super challenging industry and one that I'm happy to contribute to, |
0:49.4 | but most certainly one that I can't fathom the kind of resilience and hard work it takes to succeed |

1:32.6 | very clear rules. You can't talk about the club. You can't take pictures in the club. You can't use |
1:37.4 | your cell phone in the club. You can't even walk up to people in the club who are other club members |
1:41.8 | unless they invite you to talk to them. Right. This is someplace where celebrities go to be left alone. So, you know, whoever they happen to be, |
1:50.3 | even though they're recognizable on site, the club rules make it so that you don't bother them. |
1:55.5 | And then similarly, nobody bothers you. So it's kind of a genius idea when you think of it that |
2:00.3 | way. No paparazzi, |
