And you're supposed to be able to go search for a guy and see if there's a bunch of red flags and other women saying...

And at its core, if everybody were authentic and genuine and principled people, that would work great. Unfortunately, you do have to take it with a grain of salt. Like, did this person actually do something? You know what I mean? Like, or some guy goes on there and pretends to be a woman and takes out some competitor. Right. You just never know with those things. The goal should be, though.

And I went and looked at that list and I have it up here in my head and I think about it. Right. And I keep an eye out. It's not that I'm going to say with certainty and definity, because that's not fair to anyone, but I do keep an eye out for it. And what's interesting is you talked about how you knew your job wouldn't get better.

Then that day, we were waiting to get started, and we were watching video of the Cubs celebrating in the clubhouse, and there was a female reporter in there with them doing interviews, and I think she got a bunch of beer thrown on her, and she was having a blast with all the guys who she covered all year, and he said, how many of them do you think she's had sex with?

Every woman in this business from like age 20 to 60 gets accused of that all the time. I can't name a single woman in the business that someone has said, oh, I heard she does, you know, whatever. So just don't do that. And so he kind of seemed sheepish, but like didn't fight back. And then when the rest of the crew showed up, he said, everybody look out for Sarah today. She's on her period.

Nope. Right. And in the moment I said, I'm not on my period, I told him to stop behaving in a sexist way or whatever I said. And that's all I did. And it wasn't until years later that I was writing a story about harassment and how many people are that guy on that spreadsheet that it's like the worst kept secret kind of guy. And how nobody does anything.
