1:36
Speaker 4: It felt like we were like in Palm Springs almost,
1:39
Speaker 4: but on a dusty road.
1:40
Speaker 2: So we didn't like that.
1:42
Speaker 1: We no, we didn't like that.

Speaker 3: drive back to get We switched out the RB, we
1:52
Speaker 3: switch out the RV to a bigger, more badass.
1:55
Speaker 4: One, and we were really really inspired when we got
1:58
Speaker 4: in that baby.
1:59
Speaker 2: Right.
2:00
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I was like, Okay, we're ready.
2:02
Speaker 1: This is legit.
2:03
Speaker 3: And instead of going really really far, we were like,
2:07
Speaker 3: let's break ourselves in.
2:08
Speaker 1: So we hauled asked to Malibu, hold on, hold on.
2:12
Speaker 2: Let me back it up. You're making it look like
2:14
Speaker 2: we're just hobnobbing around La.
2:16
Speaker 1: Let me we are hob noomin around to eight.
2:17
Speaker 4: I know, but babe, we were gonna go to Piswell
2:19
Speaker 4: Beach was like a two and a half hour drive
2:21
Speaker 4: and they didn't have like an ocean view for us,
2:24
Speaker 4: and and we said, and what we said was is
2:27
Speaker 4: if we're going to do this, like we at least
2:29
Speaker 4: want to look at the ocean, says, we can't swim
2:31
Speaker 4: in them because they're all closed. We can't be in
2:33
Speaker 4: a national park, they're all closed. And so we found
2:37
Speaker 4: we found a Malibu RV park.
2:40
Speaker 2: And honestly, Babe, don't you agree it was like a
2:44
Speaker 2: gem in the rough. It was spectacular, Dude.
2:47
Speaker 3: We had beach front. I mean, we parked that bitch,
2:50
Speaker 3: and we were.
2:51
Speaker 2: Like totally we thought we were like.
2:53
Speaker 3: I felt like I was like Beyonce, like I was
2:57
Speaker 3: touring and I found like an epic spot to just
2:59
Speaker 3: park my whip.
3:01
Speaker 4: That's a nice way to put it. I think that
3:03
Speaker 4: we had like a thirty million dollar view.
3:05
Speaker 1: I swear we did have a thirty million dollar view.
3:07
Speaker 4: You and I remember, and we invited your mom and
3:10
Speaker 4: her friend and they came out. We cooked spaghetti, spaghetti,

3:30
Speaker 2: Okay, Oka, wait, but on, let's go back from seconds.
3:32
Speaker 2: So we did that.
3:33
Speaker 4: But can I tell you what my favorite part of
3:35
Speaker 4: this whole thing was. Tell me after they left, it
3:37
Speaker 4: was nighttime. We closed up our little whip, we turned
3:40
Speaker 4: out the lights. We had DVDs because there's no cable,
3:43
Speaker 4: so we put Blacklist in and you and.
3:45
Speaker 1: I that show is so good.
3:47
Speaker 4: I know it's not only so good, but then you
3:48
Speaker 4: and I we had cuddle time. Yeah, I'm gonna admit this,
3:52
Speaker 4: and we could hear the waves crashing all night. It
3:55
Speaker 4: was a perfect night.
3:56
Speaker 2: It was. And then we woke up and they made
4:00
Speaker 2: us move.
4:01
Speaker 1: So that was a whole production and even better, I
4:05
Speaker 1: feel like they.
4:05
Speaker 4: Moved us from North Malibu to like like the where
4:08
Speaker 4: all the rich people are in Malibus.
4:10
Speaker 2: I feel like we got upgraded. We got an upgrade.
4:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt like I was Jamie Kennedy in as wanted.
4:17
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Okay, So then we got moved.
4:19
Speaker 4: Then you said the fish looked like they were dying
4:22
Speaker 4: at home, so you and your mom went to go
4:23
Speaker 4: get algaees.
4:24
Speaker 1: So before I went and did that, So what do
4:26
Speaker 1: we do?
4:27
Speaker 3: You guys, these these people that have these fucking RV's.
4:32
Speaker 1: It's like a it's like a culture.
4:34
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a whole different world. I mean, by the way,
4:37
Speaker 4: what about the ones who bring listen baby? I found
4:39
Speaker 4: something out. So Laala thought that the RV people next
4:43
Speaker 4: to us, she thought they lived there permanently. But I
4:46
Speaker 4: did research there. They're not permanent. Those people they bring
4:49
Speaker 4: their own grass, their own fences, their own pottery, and
4:53
Speaker 4: they create a little yard next to their RVs.
4:56
Speaker 2: These are professional art you guys.
4:59
Speaker 3: This one r had like this little white picket fence
5:02
Speaker 3: and these like beautiful flower pots.
5:04
Speaker 2: And the fire grass, the fake fire.
5:06
Speaker 3: Pit, fake fire pit, and then it or not a
5:09
Speaker 3: fake fire pit, a fake like they had a fake
5:11
Speaker 3: fire like it looked like real flames. And then they
5:13
Speaker 3: had a fire pit where they would like sit around
5:15
Speaker 3: at night. And then they had a sign that said
5:18
Speaker 3: the beach is my happy place, like what they would
5:20
Speaker 3: put like what someone would put out side of their
5:23
Speaker 3: beach house.
5:23
Speaker 4: It's really, honestly, I want to say saying, we're not
5:26
Speaker 4: even making fun of anybody.
5:28
Speaker 2: It really is a different world that we've never seen before.
5:31
Speaker 1: No, but you should see these people.
5:32
Speaker 3: They like are they've got like their jeep parked perfectly,
5:35
Speaker 3: They're like whipping in.
5:36
Speaker 2: Their freaking I want to tell you story.
5:38
Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing.
5:39
Speaker 4: Right when you left, RV pulled it next to me
5:43
Speaker 4: within fifteen minutes, I'm being serious, all hooked up, but
5:46
Speaker 4: not only just all hooked up bikes, games, dark boards.
5:50
Speaker 2: I mean it was like professional O. These people really
5:53
Speaker 2: know how to do it.
5:53
Speaker 4: And I think if you really are v around the country,
5:56
Speaker 4: you must get really good at knowing what to bring.
5:59
Speaker 2: But we didn't know. Let's tell everybody, because you're looking
6:01
Speaker 2: at me like, I'm like, oh, you should have screwed up.
6:04
Speaker 2: We were.
6:04
Speaker 3: It was National lampoons. We we were hot mess. We
6:09
Speaker 3: like looked in the cupboard. We didn't get anything that
6:12
Speaker 3: was like okay to eat, Like, we didn't secure anything.
6:18
Speaker 4: How many how many days do you think it would
6:20
Speaker 4: have been before we died of starvation and water with a.
6:23
Speaker 3: Lot of I only allowed us to get to Malibu.
6:26
Speaker 3: I was like, we can't trust.
6:27
Speaker 1: Us, not really.
6:29
Speaker 3: We need a little bit more practice, or we need
6:31
Speaker 3: at least one person who knows what the hell they're doing.
6:34
Speaker 4: I think we need to hire an RV packer shopper,
6:38
Speaker 4: right y. Yeah, stock us up and they say, you
6:41
Speaker 4: guys are good for seven days go journey, but but you.
6:44
Speaker 2: Have to man, I did get good at hooking.
6:46
Speaker 3: The electrical up, the water everything else. It's like, I
6:51
Speaker 3: don't cook in a kitchen that's fully stocked to my house,
6:55
Speaker 3: so like, how am I supposed.
6:56
Speaker 1: To do it in an RV.
6:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need some assistance with the shopping for Yeah,
7:00
Speaker 2: but we had fun.
7:02
Speaker 1: I had the best time ever I did.
7:03
Speaker 2: I really like.
7:04
Speaker 4: I think we took it for granted a little bit
7:05
Speaker 4: because it was so just perfect and we were like,
7:08
Speaker 4: I think we're a little overwhelmed.
7:09
Speaker 2: Today it was Today was a well when you.
7:11
Speaker 3: Wake up and there's no coffee or breakfast, it's kind
7:14
Speaker 3: of a buzzkill. You're like looking at the ocean and

Speaker 3: you're like, damn, I would really love some pancakes coffee.
7:20
Speaker 2: Go back there and have another sleep, but we'll bring coffee, just.
7:23
Speaker 1: Like something to wake up and like I.
7:25
Speaker 2: Like or like cook eggs in the morning.
7:27
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy, though, is I used to do
7:29
Speaker 3: that stuff as a little kid, but instead of an RV,
7:31
Speaker 3: we would like my dad and my mom had a
7:34
Speaker 3: houseboat and it was like the exact same type of thing.
7:38
Speaker 3: But professionals, dude, I remember that you had to do.

Speaker 3: like tonight we're having tacos and this and that.
8:18

Speaker 1: How old are they?
13:52
Speaker 2: Okay, the conversation and so.
13:55
Speaker 3: No, we had a really great conversation. It was very productive.
13:58
Speaker 3: I was like, Babe, I mean, did you to tell
14:00
Speaker 3: me why why you're asking all these questions for me?
14:02
Speaker 1: It's like four years in.
14:03
Speaker 3: He put a ring on it, like that's what it is,
14:06
Speaker 3: and he goes, Babe, I'm just feeling really insecure.
14:09
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I was it Puerto Rico.
14:11
Speaker 3: Yes, but I love that you said that because then
14:13
Speaker 3: I knew what to do with that. I was like, Okay,
14:15
Speaker 3: I won't stay there, yeh, I'll keep the hotel room.
14:18
Speaker 3: I just want to save you money, says he goes,
14:22
Speaker 3: I will fucking buy that hotel before I let you
14:25
Speaker 3: go stay at that fucking guy's house.
14:28
Speaker 2: And then Madison was in the card. She goes, I
14:31
Speaker 2: like it very honest. I respect that. Okay, we're staying
14:34
Speaker 2: at the hotel.
14:34
Speaker 1: So we stayed at the hotel for two weeks.
14:36
Speaker 3: Yeah almost Yeah, ten days, two weeks racked up a
14:38
Speaker 3: hefty bill, but it.
14:40
Speaker 1: Was significantly less than buying the hotel.
14:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did save me money buying. That's all.
14:44
Speaker 4: By the way, that was a great trip, except when
14:47
Speaker 4: I got to the hotel, I got a little under
14:49
Speaker 4: the weather.
14:50
Speaker 2: Your mom and I both got sick.
14:52
Speaker 3: What we thought COVID nineteen we did.
14:56
Speaker 1: You didn't get it, No, I didn't get it.
14:58
Speaker 3: But during that time, y'all, I thought you did have it.
15:01
Speaker 3: So we were all staying hunkered down under one roof. Yes, quarantine,
15:05
Speaker 3: but let's.
15:06
Speaker 4: Talk about just real quick. Not to elaborate, but I
15:08
Speaker 4: mean along, but I got there. Your mom got a
15:11
Speaker 4: sore throat. I got a sore throat Friday.
15:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, woke up.
15:13
Speaker 4: Saturday, had a horrible sore throat and just felt very tired, right,
15:16
Speaker 4: and so out of safety for everybody, I drove to
15:20
Speaker 4: La I got a test.
15:22
Speaker 2: I went to our house.
15:23
Speaker 4: I hunkered into the bedroom and I stayed there until
15:27
Speaker 4: the test came back, which came back negative, you know,
15:30
Speaker 4: thank god. But yeah, we were all concerned because I
15:33
Speaker 4: mean to get sick right now, and how it is
15:35
Speaker 4: scary have those symptoms, you know.
15:37
Speaker 3: But on the bright side, besides you not having it,
15:42
Speaker 3: the bright side of this, you guys, is me having
15:46
Speaker 3: to just sit around and hang out with the people
15:48
Speaker 3: that I love the most, you know, minus my little brother.
15:51
Speaker 3: I wish he was here, but I'm like living the dream.

16:52
Speaker 3: I know, that's exactly what I was telling rand I
16:54
Speaker 3: was like, for me, nothing has changed as far as
16:57
Speaker 3: like just being around you twenty four to seven.
17:01
Speaker 4: I gotta say, you know, first of all, it's like
17:03
Speaker 4: come full circle because what I love is I have
17:06
Speaker 4: You know, when I was first interviewed on any podcast,
17:08
Speaker 4: on any show ever, it was yours, Marie, I was petrified.
17:11
Speaker 4: You and Kevin made me feel calm, and you're like,
17:14
Speaker 4: you guys, you're such a natural.
17:16
Speaker 2: You have fun. It was good. It was great.
17:19
Speaker 4: And then Lala and I came together and we're like,
17:21
Speaker 4: we should try this, and here we are and now
17:23
Speaker 4: we got.
17:24
Speaker 3: You guys, it's been our saving grace during this time,
17:27
Speaker 3: isn't it cool?
17:28
Speaker 5: I feel like my podcast has been my saving grace,
17:30
Speaker 5: my sanity hour through this whole thing, because you can't
17:34
Speaker 5: check your phone, you can't listen to the news, you
17:36
Speaker 5: can't get enveloped by all of the negativity, and so yeah,
17:40
Speaker 5: it's a really nice thing to have.
17:42
Speaker 3: It is, And so tell us we want to hear,
17:46
Speaker 3: we want to hear about it all. How are you
17:47
Speaker 3: guys dealing with being stuck indoors, not being able to
17:51
Speaker 3: you know, socialize, which your business is based on bringing
17:55
Speaker 3: in people to be on your podcast.
17:58
Speaker 1: Like, how are you guys dealing with all this?
18:01
Speaker 5: We're dealing with it pretty well.
18:02
Speaker 4: You know.
18:04
Speaker 5: I was very ahead on this because I'm a nerd
18:07
Speaker 5: and I was watching what was going. I was watching
18:11
Speaker 5: what was coming, and I kept saying, guys, this is
18:13
Speaker 5: going to be bad, this is going to be bad,
18:15
Speaker 5: and everybody would laugh at me, and especially my dad.
18:20
Speaker 5: And I remember being at our Friday meeting at after Buzz,
18:25
Speaker 5: and I remember saying to everybody and our staff, I said,
18:28
Speaker 5: we need to let everyone know that we are taking
18:32
Speaker 5: every measure possible. We're doing multiple cleanings a day. I
18:37
Speaker 5: want our hosts who are coming in to feel safe.
18:40
Speaker 5: And this was four days before any company was thinking
18:44
Speaker 5: like that. I go, I can't believe these major restaurant chains,
18:47
Speaker 5: no one's putting precautionary measures into let us feel safe,
18:50
Speaker 5: because I stopped patronizing places well before the lockdown.
18:54
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
18:55
Speaker 5: And so I remember one of my staff members saying,
18:58
Speaker 5: nothing's going to happen. It's fine. I go, guys, we
19:01
Speaker 5: are cleaning every hour on the hour, every door knob,
19:04
Speaker 5: every surface, everything.
19:05
Speaker 2: What month was this? Were you doing this in February?
19:08
Speaker 5: This was gosh, probably four weeks ago.
19:12
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
19:14
Speaker 5: And I was really ahead of it. I had been
19:17
Speaker 5: having my housekeeper shopping ahead way before anybody even thought
19:21
Speaker 5: about it.
19:22
Speaker 3: You're one of the toilet paper hoarders, are your.
19:26
Speaker 5: Ridden hoard But I though, I just saw what was coming.
19:32
Speaker 5: And I have a really good instinct, and I'm very
19:36
Speaker 5: I've definitely got some you know, abilities to see ahead.
19:40
Speaker 5: And I said, I feel this, and I feel like
19:44
Speaker 5: it's going to get bad and we need to prepare.
19:45
Speaker 5: So I started preparing, making sure we had enough supplies
19:49
Speaker 5: in the house to survive. We have to take care
19:51
Speaker 5: of my mom, who was stage hor brain cancer. My
19:53
Speaker 5: dad is chef one diabetic. Oh, we have an entire
19:56
Speaker 5: staff that lives on another property of ours, and I
20:00
Speaker 5: wanted to make sure that we were all safe. I
20:02
Speaker 5: made sure we got medications for two months on. Everybody. Wow,
20:06
Speaker 5: And everyone again was still laughing at me.
20:08
Speaker 2: Maria, Can I tell you wait? Can I tell you something?
20:10
Speaker 4: First of all, this is the greatest thing I've ever heard,
20:12
Speaker 4: because we should have been doing this shit, because you know,
20:15
Speaker 4: we're scrambling and taking a step further, I'm the opposite
20:18
Speaker 4: of you. I mean, Laala will tell you. I was
20:20
Speaker 4: in Puerto Rico directing my first movie.
20:22
Speaker 5: I know, I was horrified, and I was horrified.
20:25
Speaker 4: Wait wait, and here's the crazy thing. The beaches are open,
20:28
Speaker 4: people are drinking Pina claudas. I'm living in complete denial,
20:31
Speaker 4: and I'm calling Laala going no.
20:32
Speaker 3: He keeps asking me like, La La, why are you
20:35
Speaker 3: freaking out? Why are you so high strung.
20:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have no idea, what's going on now?
20:41
Speaker 2: And that was on the March thirteenth.
20:43
Speaker 4: I was saying that because we were still filming and
20:46
Speaker 4: nothing was going and she's like, Babe, you're living in denial.
20:49
Speaker 2: I go, you're all crazy. And then all of a.
20:51
Speaker 3: Sudden, literally two days later, he's like, babe, they're shutting
20:54
Speaker 3: down the hotel. I have to come back from Puerto
20:56
Speaker 3: Rico tonight.
20:57
Speaker 4: It was it was no, And here's the crazy thing.
21:00
Speaker 4: Me and my cast, you guys, my cast call me Andy.
21:03
Speaker 4: They you know, we were all in that spirit of like,
21:05
Speaker 4: we want to finish the movie. And it was like
21:07
Speaker 4: once they shut down the city and we went into
21:09
Speaker 4: that quarantine thing, which none of us had experienced. We
21:12
Speaker 4: started to freak out, and we got on the plane
21:14
Speaker 4: flew back and it was like we didn't know what
21:15
Speaker 4: to expect. We get to LA and I'm like, oh
21:18
Speaker 4: my god, like this has been going on for weeks
21:20
Speaker 4: before we've even seen it, So we were behind the
21:23
Speaker 4: eight ball.
21:24
Speaker 3: So now so I respect people like you now, Maria,
21:28
Speaker 3: like I should have been doing, say, Randall, you being
21:30
Speaker 3: a good director.
21:31
Speaker 2: You were so immersed, yes.
21:33
Speaker 5: That I understand why you didn't understand what was happening.
21:38
Speaker 5: And I had to tell friends who weren't watching the news.
21:40
Speaker 5: I said, guys, get ready, and people had no idea.
21:45
Speaker 5: So I was definitely I was two weeks ahead almost
21:48
Speaker 5: of everybody.
21:49
Speaker 6: You're Randolin to defend you and your case, like you know,
21:52
Speaker 6: as a filmmaker, you don't get those shots. Guess what,
21:55
Speaker 6: chances are very good you're never getting those shots.
21:58
Speaker 4: Correct, Kevins I think, and I think, Kevin, I think
22:01
Speaker 4: you get it, like you know you're you and me
22:03
Speaker 4: and all of this on this are are come from
22:06
Speaker 4: a business where we know how hard it is to
22:07
Speaker 4: get a moment like that, and here it is.
22:09
Speaker 2: Here's what's crazy.
22:10
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm six days in the shooting on the
22:13
Speaker 4: highest high I'm back to my creative roots, and all
22:16
Speaker 4: of a sudden, the world was falling apart. I mean,
22:18
Speaker 4: what is going on?
22:19
Speaker 2: Is this?
22:20
Speaker 4: I mean, it just didn't seem real, you know. And
22:22
Speaker 4: I remember I remember being on the plane with the
22:25
Speaker 4: cast and they were all looking at me, like two
22:28
Speaker 4: hours ago we were filming and now we're in the
22:30
Speaker 4: air going home. It was that surreal. You couldn't process it.
22:34
Speaker 4: It was one of those moments. So I'm glad we
22:36
Speaker 4: got out at the time we're supposed to get out
22:38
Speaker 4: and we're safe and all that stuff, but it was
22:39
Speaker 4: it was heartbreaking, Lalla.
22:41
Speaker 2: And I'll just give you two other little Tidboots bits.
22:44
Speaker 4: The friday before we shut down, I got hit with
22:47
Speaker 4: my call from my girl calling me and me in tears.
22:50
Speaker 4: I couldn't even walk to the set for an hour
22:52
Speaker 4: because she was breaking the news to me that we
22:54
Speaker 4: had to shut our wedding down.
22:56
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, so this was
22:58
Speaker 2: like a first is the wedding.
23:01
Speaker 4: And she's like and I said, Babe, I don't even
23:02
Speaker 4: think I can go back to the set, and she's like, no, no, no,
23:05
Speaker 4: You're gonna pull it together.
23:06
Speaker 2: You're gonna shake this off.
23:08
Speaker 4: We're gonna get married on another day and you're gonna
23:10
Speaker 4: go back to work. And I was like, it took
23:13
Speaker 4: me a couple hours.
23:13
Speaker 1: And did I do remember?
23:15
Speaker 3: Because you get your you guys know you you plan
23:18
Speaker 3: a wedding date in that date somehow like you become
23:21
Speaker 3: obsessed with it. Yeah, and we were holding on pretty
23:25
Speaker 3: tight to that date.
23:27
Speaker 2: It was it was rough, but good for you.
23:30
Speaker 5: Another good leader. I have a good job.
23:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, she pulled, she pulled the ripcord for She said, babe,
23:36
Speaker 4: no one's going to show up on our wedding. We
23:38
Speaker 4: gotta we gotta protect ourselves now, and we call the property.
23:42
Speaker 4: They played ball with us and we were able to
23:45
Speaker 4: make you know.
23:45
Speaker 3: That is the one great thing is during this everybody
23:48
Speaker 3: has been very very kind. Like I mean, I've been
23:52
Speaker 3: getting emails that are like, by the way, like your
23:54
Speaker 3: AMEX bill, we don't expect payment because we know you
23:58
Speaker 3: probably don't have a job right now.
24:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.
24:02
Speaker 4: Well, guys, I want to ask you a couple a
24:04
Speaker 4: big question because you have a huge business with after
24:06
Speaker 4: Buzz TV. I mean a giggantic operation with tons of employees.
24:11
Speaker 4: I don't even know the number, but it's I know,
24:13
Speaker 4: it's huge. It's a big business. How do you now
24:17
Speaker 4: go to broadcasting with all your live shows, with all
24:19
Speaker 4: of your.
24:19
Speaker 2: Podcasts, with all your stuff? How do you survive? And
24:23
Speaker 2: what have you done? And have you thrived in this
24:26
Speaker 2: time and.
24:26
Speaker 4: Been able to make changes because a lot of people
24:29
Speaker 4: have had to shut down completely?
24:31
Speaker 6: Yeah?
24:32
Speaker 5: Well, I will say so. Within twenty four hours of
24:35
Speaker 5: me putting cards on every surface and table viewing station
24:39
Speaker 5: at after Buzz for anybody who doesn't know what after
24:42
Speaker 5: Buzz is, we are a broadcast network that produces after
24:47
Speaker 5: shows for almost every TV show out there. So we
24:51
Speaker 5: are global and we produce one hundred and fifty plus
24:54
Speaker 5: hours of programming a week. We over for four hundred hosts,
24:58
Speaker 5: every size, race, ethnicity, age, background, and it's a major operation.
25:05
Speaker 5: We have six high definition studios.
25:07
Speaker 2: Old Mike, you're a studio.
25:08
Speaker 4: I mean you're literally a studio where every studio has
25:11
Speaker 4: shut down. How do you use I wouldn't even know.
25:14
Speaker 2: What to do.
25:14
Speaker 5: Okay, So within twenty four hours of me putting note
25:18
Speaker 5: cards on every viewing station saying we are cleaning furiously,
25:22
Speaker 5: I looked at I looked at our our one of
25:25
Speaker 5: our employees, and I said, we need a plan immediately
25:29
Speaker 5: to be able to broadcast from everyone's homes because we're
25:33
Speaker 5: going to be quarantined any minute. We are going to
25:35
Speaker 5: go on lockdown. And everyone looked at me like I
25:37
Speaker 5: was nuts. I said, guys, we are going to be
25:39
Speaker 5: locked down. We need to at least start testing this.
25:43
Speaker 5: So instantly I thought of Zoom and I said, let's
25:47
Speaker 5: do some tests with Zoom. I set up some tests
25:49
Speaker 5: with them where we looked at how it could be done.
25:53
Speaker 5: Our head guy, Steven Lemieux, was amazing. He created our
25:57
Speaker 5: logo to put you know, on top of there, and
25:59
Speaker 5: we were very quickly that all of our hosts could
26:02
Speaker 5: continue hosting these after shows from their homes.
26:06
Speaker 2: We created a.
26:07
Speaker 5: Grid so we would know who had access to what,
26:10
Speaker 5: because you know a lot of people don't have TVs
26:11
Speaker 5: at home. We had the viewing stations at after Buzz
26:14
Speaker 5: our studios, and so we figured out who had HBO,
26:18
Speaker 5: who had showtime, who had you know, broadcast TV. We
26:22
Speaker 5: created the after shows from there. Within twenty four hours,
26:26
Speaker 5: we were up live. We didn't miss a beat because
26:29
Speaker 5: Saturdays were off, so by Sunday we were live and
26:33
Speaker 5: we were producing one hundred and thirty five hours of programming.
26:36
Speaker 5: We set up an engineer station in the house where
26:41
Speaker 5: our staff lives, so they were going to be quarantined together.
26:43
Speaker 2: Anyway, Oh my god, this is insane, this is right.
26:47
Speaker 5: So we set up stations where they could produce their
26:51
Speaker 5: show from their computers.
26:54
Speaker 6: And that was it.
26:56
Speaker 5: And we have not missed a beat and it's been
26:59
Speaker 5: really amazing and at testament to our stuff and our
27:02
Speaker 5: hosts who are so excited to bring this content to
27:05
Speaker 5: people who need it right now, who a little entertainment.
27:08
Speaker 5: We have hosts that are hosting with their dogs and
27:11
Speaker 5: making it cute and fun and it's been amazing.
27:14
Speaker 1: Wow.
27:14
Speaker 3: So, like, during this time, have you noticed that viewership
27:18
Speaker 3: has gone up? Because again, like we don't have and
27:20
Speaker 3: you totally don't have to answer this, but like for me,
27:25
Speaker 3: I even notice on my social media that things are
27:28
Speaker 3: getting more views than usual because I feel like everybody's
27:31
Speaker 3: just stuck.
27:32
Speaker 6: Definitely, views have definitely gone up, and I think because
27:36
Speaker 6: people now are stuck at home to watch this stuff.
27:39
Speaker 6: What's happening Randall, which would be interesting. What your take
27:42
Speaker 6: is going to be is when the content starts running
27:45
Speaker 6: out and that's why they're going to need people like
27:47
Speaker 6: you guys and us to keep creating original content. Granted,
27:50
Speaker 6: some going to have the production level of like Better
27:52
Speaker 6: call Saul, but for real, I heard that Walking Dead
27:55
Speaker 6: has the finale shot but does not have the resources
27:59
Speaker 6: to edit the finale, so they have to make it
28:01
Speaker 6: a special later. So it's going to be interesting when
28:04
Speaker 6: the new stuff runs out.
28:06
Speaker 2: You're you're right, Kevin, You're right. That's actually a really
28:08
Speaker 2: good point.
28:08
Speaker 4: And you know, we face this in the last recession,
28:13
Speaker 4: nothing of this scale. But I feel like like when
28:17
Speaker 4: the guilds have gone on strike, you know, and content
28:20
Speaker 4: gets backed up and then they run out of content.
28:22
Speaker 4: I feel like there is going to be a thirst,
28:25
Speaker 4: a desperation for new content, and I think people like
28:29
Speaker 4: us who provide that are going to be, you know,
28:32
Speaker 4: in a place where they're just gonna be so thirsty
28:34
Speaker 4: for content because this the world has never seen. I
28:37
Speaker 4: mean one thing, sometimes the content will get shut down,
28:41
Speaker 4: whether guild or something like that, but we never had
28:43
Speaker 4: them theater shut down.
28:44
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is unheard of.
28:47
Speaker 6: Now, this is yeah, this is back to the depression.
28:50
Speaker 6: You guys, like, it's it ends global. We were globally
28:54
Speaker 6: connected one hundred years ago. So yeah, this is like
28:57
Speaker 6: nothing any of us have ever experienced.
28:59
Speaker 2: I agree.
29:01
Speaker 4: Let me let me ask you guys a question you
29:03
Speaker 4: and now tell us about this. Am I confused? Maria
29:06
Speaker 4: the show that Lala and I have both been on
29:09
Speaker 4: as guests, and Kevin, you now have a show called
29:12
Speaker 4: Better Together Daily?
29:14
Speaker 2: Is that?
29:14
Speaker 4: Is that what it's called? And tell us about that?
29:16
Speaker 4: And how is it different?
29:18
Speaker 2: You know? Is it? Just explain it to us and
29:20
Speaker 2: tell us what it's.
29:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, so Better Together was born from my
29:25
Speaker 5: serious XM radio show. I was doing that daily, and
29:27
Speaker 5: I really wanted to move to podcast again, and and
29:32
Speaker 5: most of that was because I had so many epiphanies
29:35
Speaker 5: after I had brain surgery. You know, you know, my
29:38
Speaker 5: mom and I both had brain teamers within eight months
29:40
Speaker 5: of each other. It changed me completely, and so I
29:44
Speaker 5: started quickly to realize that I was a little lonely
29:48
Speaker 5: in my perspective on life. I knew social media was
29:52
Speaker 5: you know, was you know what it was? I I
29:56
Speaker 5: knew that materials meant nothing anymore. I knew at what
30:01
Speaker 5: really mattered in life was our health and the well
30:04
Speaker 5: being of our family and friends. And that bond and
30:08
Speaker 5: that love that we have with each other that you
30:10
Speaker 5: can't take anything else with you and none of it matters,
30:13
Speaker 5: and I would find myself really lonely, and so I
30:15
Speaker 5: created better together. Because I was on a spiritual journey,
30:20
Speaker 5: I wanted to really explore so many other things, and
30:24
Speaker 5: I wanted to still get better at everything, health, wellness, spirituality, finances, everything,
30:31
Speaker 5: and I'm a big learner. So I started doing that
30:35
Speaker 5: every Monday, and it was my way of tapping into
30:38
Speaker 5: the greatest minds, the greatest healers, the greatest experts, so
30:42
Speaker 5: that not only could I get answers to things that
30:45
Speaker 5: I needed and help I wanted, but so that everyone
30:49
Speaker 5: who's on that same journey with me didn't feel lonely
30:51
Speaker 5: and could get better with us. So I was doing
30:55
Speaker 5: it every Monday. And then when this all happened, Kevin
30:58
Speaker 5: looked at me and he goes, Maria, time, You've got
31:01
Speaker 5: to be the light right now for people, because everyone's
31:04
Speaker 5: going to need this. Everyone's so louting to know how
31:08
Speaker 5: to handle their finances right now. We did an amazing
31:10
Speaker 5: episode with Aj Gupta, who is featured all over Tony
31:14
Speaker 5: Robbins's book Money Master, the game, and I've changed my
31:17
Speaker 5: whole life because of him financially, and so we were
31:20
Speaker 5: able to talk to people who have credit card debt
31:23
Speaker 5: and say, listen, you know you can get a zero
31:26
Speaker 5: percent loan, switch it over, save that money and interest
31:29
Speaker 5: every month, Or if you have a mortgage, you can
31:31
Speaker 5: refinance at a lower rate right now, helping people in
31:34
Speaker 5: a critical time. But then all the way down to
31:38
Speaker 5: you know, relationships and how to survive being with your
31:42
Speaker 5: significant other twenty four to seven when you're not used
31:45
Speaker 5: to it, like we are obviously bringing in spiritual gurus
31:48
Speaker 5: who are telling us that this is an awakening that
31:51
Speaker 5: we all needed. But this was the awakening I had
31:55
Speaker 5: after surgery, and now everyone's being forced into it. Whether
31:59
Speaker 5: they're going to accept it, whether they're going to lean
32:02
Speaker 5: into it, I don't know. Yeah, but that's what I'm
32:04
Speaker 5: doing every day with my show, and providing a sane,
32:07
Speaker 5: safe space where we have light, where we can talk
32:10
Speaker 5: about what we're afraid of and what we're worried about,
32:13
Speaker 5: but also turn it into something positive and figure out,
32:17
Speaker 5: as Trevor Moad said, how to win the weight And
32:20
Speaker 5: right now I think we all need to be winning
32:23
Speaker 5: the weight we have to wait, we have no choice.
32:26
Speaker 5: How do we win the weight?
32:27
Speaker 2: I actually love that that.
32:28
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like right up my alley.
32:30
Speaker 3: You're you're the person that's bringing hope to so many
32:33
Speaker 3: people at this time and beyond this time. I mean
32:36
Speaker 3: so many people. Just the world that we live in.
32:39
Speaker 3: It's so hard to find the light on many days.
32:44
Speaker 3: And I you know how much I love you Maria
32:46
Speaker 3: and Kevin so like.
32:48
Speaker 2: You talking about this.
32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys, the content they produce is for humansane.
32:53
Speaker 4: This stuff you guys produces, by the way, is you
32:56
Speaker 4: make your guests feel so good. I am was never
32:59
Speaker 4: somebody ever saw myself do anything like this. I came
33:02
Speaker 4: in the first time, and you guys made me feel
33:04
Speaker 4: like I've been doing it for twenty years.
33:05
Speaker 2: I think that's your.
33:06
Speaker 4: Gift that you're able to take any kind of person,
33:09
Speaker 4: when it's the biggest star in the world, or the
33:10
Speaker 4: biggest guru or or religious person, whatever it is, you
33:15
Speaker 4: get out of them and you make them relatable so
33:19
Speaker 4: people can can feel connected. And I think that's really neat.
33:23
Speaker 4: I can't wait to listen to the show now.
33:26
Speaker 7: Thank you.
33:26
Speaker 6: It's gonna be you guys the next here's why I
33:29
Speaker 6: see it, Randall. And the next three to six months
33:32
Speaker 6: is the health crisis, and really it's about protecting the elderly,
33:36
Speaker 6: and mainly the elderly, and the people who have compromised
33:39
Speaker 6: immune systems mainly correct. Then after that, I think it's
33:42
Speaker 6: going to be an economic catastrophe, and then that's going
33:46
Speaker 6: to affect people with dependents, people with mortgages, and people
33:49
Speaker 6: living week to week, which is already affecting them now.
33:52
Speaker 2: Correct.
33:53
Speaker 6: I feel like millennials, if you're a millennial, go home,
33:56
Speaker 6: be with your parents, take care of mom and dad
33:58
Speaker 6: right now, circle of wagons when you come out, and
34:01
Speaker 6: when this ends, we'll job for them than ever. And
34:04
Speaker 6: I do believe student loans will probably be reduced or forgiven.
34:07
Speaker 6: But the next it's going to be health first, and
34:09
Speaker 6: then it's going to be economic crisis, probably for like
34:12
Speaker 6: two years Randall.
34:13
Speaker 2: And like and I agree with you, Kevin.
34:16
Speaker 4: I think that where we're heading economically, once we get
34:19
Speaker 4: through the health issues and people are out of that
34:22
Speaker 4: part of it, I think we're going to have to
34:24
Speaker 4: embrace the world because it's going to be real scary
34:26
Speaker 4: for a lot of people, and the world I don't
34:30
Speaker 4: want to go anywhere. I just want to take a
34:31
Speaker 4: quick break and I want to come right back because
34:33
Speaker 4: I could talk to you guys for years. So we're
34:35
Speaker 4: going to be right back in a minute.
34:40
Speaker 2: We are back.
34:42
Speaker 1: We have two very special guests.
34:45
Speaker 2: Yep.
34:45
Speaker 4: We have Maria and Kevin, the Dynamic Power couple business
34:51
Speaker 4: team and husband and wife and friends of ours, and
34:54
Speaker 4: we've been having the best time talking with you guys.
34:58
Speaker 4: I just want to just ask you guys some thing
35:00
Speaker 4: because I heard a rumor, and I'm.
35:02
Speaker 2: Sure it's true.
35:03
Speaker 3: The rumors don't start during quarantine or don't stop during
35:06
Speaker 3: correct they never say they still fly.
35:08
Speaker 4: But I did hear a rumor that you guys were
35:10
Speaker 4: on the front lines not only doing what you do
35:13
Speaker 4: every day running this big business that you run, but
35:16
Speaker 4: you guys help raise money for thousands of mass to
35:20
Speaker 4: help at hospitals. That just fill us in because we're
35:23
Speaker 4: just obviously you know, I'm a little late to the
35:24
Speaker 4: dance here, so I'm just starting to do any money.
35:27
Speaker 4: So tell me what you did so I could feel
35:29
Speaker 4: really stupid after this.
35:31
Speaker 6: So because of my journey, I think, you know, with
35:33
Speaker 6: her her mom's tumor in hers she's gotten so into
35:39
Speaker 6: into the medical field and has probably been counseling.
35:42
Speaker 2: She's I don't know, probably two or three hundred.
35:44
Speaker 6: Patients from all over the world with different ailments, especially cancer,
35:49
Speaker 6: asking her for help. And because she's learned so much
35:52
Speaker 6: of it, well, it's led us to have relationships with
35:54
Speaker 6: all the people in the medical field. And what Maria
35:56
Speaker 6: came to discover was that our people in the medical field,
36:00
Speaker 6: guys around the country, do not have the tools they
36:03
Speaker 6: need to protect themselves to fight this. And she discovered that,
36:08
Speaker 6: you know, we lose them as for this line of defense.
36:11
Speaker 2: We're fun. Oh it's over. Yeah.
36:13
Speaker 5: It was when Kevin was at the hospital with my mom.
36:15
Speaker 5: She had to go get her next round of chemo
36:19
Speaker 5: treatments and stuff in the hospital, and I was on
36:22
Speaker 5: speaker because Kevin's the one who forages, so we've made
36:26
Speaker 5: it so that he's the only one who goes into
36:27
Speaker 5: the outside world and I stay home and my dad
36:31
Speaker 5: stayed home. And so when I was there on the
36:34
Speaker 5: phone with them, he was live in person. The doctor.
36:37
Speaker 5: I said to him at the end of the car,
36:38
Speaker 5: I said, doctor Rudnick, do you have a mask on?
36:41
Speaker 5: And he said no, and I said, yeah, I thought, so,
36:44
Speaker 5: you didn't sound muffled, and he goes, well, we don't
36:46
Speaker 5: have any. He goes, the few that we have we
36:49
Speaker 5: save were at risk patients. And I hung up the
36:52
Speaker 5: phone and I was so furious, and I was first
36:56
Speaker 5: I cried, then I got mad. And then I saw
36:59
Speaker 5: Bethany Frank on Instagram was creating these things called Corona kits,
37:03
Speaker 5: and they had masks and they had hand sanitizer and
37:07
Speaker 5: all this stuff. So I called her and I said,
37:10
Speaker 5: where are you getting these masks? I want to raise
37:12
Speaker 5: money to get our healthcare workers' masks. I'm like, this
37:16
Speaker 5: is disgusting that my doctors are in jeopardy right now.
37:20
Speaker 5: And she said, well, I have like ten thousand right now.
37:22
Speaker 5: Maybe I should just be pivoting and moving them out
37:25
Speaker 5: of the kits and I'm going to start moving them
37:27
Speaker 5: to hospitals. So she is a gangster. She started shifting instantly.
37:32
Speaker 5: I said, let's do an episode of my podcast Better Together,
37:35
Speaker 5: designed specifically to raise money for this. So we did
37:38
Speaker 5: the call outs, we raised some money. I connected her
37:41
Speaker 5: with this guy, Grant Verstandeg He's the founder of rally Health,
37:45
Speaker 5: and then from there she was soaring. She just kept
37:48
Speaker 5: texting me, I love you, I love you. Granted is amazing.
37:50
Speaker 5: He's killing it.
37:51
Speaker 2: God, this is amazing.
37:52
Speaker 5: So we decided that I couldn't pick just one institution
37:57
Speaker 5: in LA because they've all been great to us. So
38:00
Speaker 5: we picked yesterday. In fact, the shipments went, we had
38:04
Speaker 5: five thousand and ninety five masks to UCLA Cedars and
38:09
Speaker 5: Children's Hospital LA along with she added surgical masks to
38:14
Speaker 5: all of them. But like, listen, this was like I
38:18
Speaker 5: did very little. Bethany is a force to be reckoned with.
38:24
Speaker 5: She just is relentless. She's been talking to every governor.
38:29
Speaker 5: She is seeing corruption within organizations that are supposed to
38:34
Speaker 5: be helping getting the job done. And she deserves an
38:38
Speaker 5: award when this is done.
38:39
Speaker 2: Wow.
38:40
Speaker 3: She did the same thing when the hurricane hit Puerto Rico.
38:45
Speaker 3: She's like, she's just someone who not only has her
38:49
Speaker 3: Skinny Girl brand, but she is someone who's out there
38:53
Speaker 3: helping people on a regular basis, no matter what it is.
38:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, when that other hurricane, I think it was Puerto
39:00
Speaker 5: Rico hit, I was recovering from surgery and I remember
39:05
Speaker 5: seeing her do this, and so I reached out to
39:08
Speaker 5: her and I said, please let me help, and so
39:10
Speaker 5: I started connecting her that time as well, and so
39:13
Speaker 5: it was the first thing she mentioned on my podcast.
39:15
Speaker 5: She's like, I want everybody to know Maria was the
39:16
Speaker 5: first one to come.
39:17
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the two of you together, Yeah, you
39:21
Speaker 3: guys save the world.
39:22
Speaker 4: You guys are like tornadoes in the best way. I mean, clearly, Listen, Marie,
39:27
Speaker 4: you One thing I know about you is you're the
39:29
Speaker 4: most humble human in the world. And you know, I
39:32
Speaker 4: know you don't take credit for most things you do.
39:34
Speaker 4: But the fact that you called her up and the
39:36
Speaker 4: two of you together did this is is just unreal.
39:39
Speaker 4: And I mean, where can we will tell us where
39:42
Speaker 4: we can involved Lala and I because.
39:44
Speaker 1: We want to make a don and our listeners.
39:46
Speaker 5: Guys, every dollar counts, like even if you only have
39:50
Speaker 5: one thousand dollars, even if you only have five dollars.
39:54
Speaker 5: I guess a lot of celebrities were gun shy at
39:56
Speaker 5: first when we were reaching out, because everybody was instantly
39:59
Speaker 5: terrified of what if and what's happening. And then you
40:02
Speaker 5: start seeing the Ryan Reynolds and the Blake Lively's and
40:06
Speaker 5: the Drew Breeses and everybody, and then everyone started going
40:08
Speaker 5: from there, but it was hard initially to raise money,
40:12
Speaker 5: but everything counts. Three or four dollars will buy an
40:16
Speaker 5: N ninety five math right now for a healthcare worker.
40:19
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you they still don't forget have them
40:21
Speaker 5: Torrence Hospital. I was talking to them yesterday. The CEO
40:24
Speaker 5: they're suffering usc Kech does not have mouth. They're suffering,
40:30
Speaker 5: and so donate to be Strong. You go to Bethany
40:33
Speaker 5: Frankel on social media, click on the link for Bestrong,
40:36
Speaker 5: or go to bstrong dot com. And she devotes every
40:40
Speaker 5: time directly to the cause, and she also funds it
40:44
Speaker 5: herself when she needs to, so there are very few organizations.
40:49
Speaker 5: I've always had a really hard time with donating to organizations.
40:53
Speaker 5: I just go rogue and I do my own thing.
40:55
Speaker 2: And I'm similar to you, Maria. I like to kind
40:57
Speaker 2: of do my own.
40:57
Speaker 5: It's hard because it goes to infrastructure and you know it,
41:00
Speaker 5: and it goes to fancy balls and dinners and some nonsense.
41:04
Speaker 5: This is direct to the people. So if you donate
41:07
Speaker 5: to be Strong, the money will go to people who
41:09
Speaker 5: need it. She's shifted and now been getting has Matt suits.
41:12
Speaker 5: She got a million has Matt Suits out what it's crazy.
41:17
Speaker 5: I mean, think about it. FEMA sent California ventilators, and
41:21
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom, the governor, had to go on TV and say, yes,
41:24
Speaker 5: we got them, but they're all busted and we had
41:26
Speaker 5: to send them to Silicon Valley to fix them.
41:28
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, well, I want to say, right
41:32
Speaker 4: here on this call. When I get off this call,
41:33
Speaker 4: I'm donating five thousand dollars to be strong because you're
41:38
Speaker 4: a rock star.
41:39
Speaker 1: I'll notch that, rand I will not share five k.
41:41
Speaker 2: All right now, you'll even I'm gonna hold it to it.
41:45
Speaker 5: She looks by the way, she'll see whether your name
41:47
Speaker 5: is on there.
41:48
Speaker 2: No.
41:49
Speaker 1: No, If there's one thing we do and we donate
41:51
Speaker 1: to a car, call.
41:52
Speaker 4: Bethany that we are giving five thousand dollars each, we
41:56
Speaker 4: will give it total ten thousand dollars. Way she yah, yep, yep,
42:01
Speaker 4: We're gonna come on, this is this is the least
42:03
Speaker 4: we can do. I mean, these these healthcare providers, the
42:06
Speaker 4: doctors and nurses. I'm watching them on the front lines,
42:09
Speaker 4: no sleep, twenty hour shifts, thirty hour shifts and risking
42:14
Speaker 4: their lives to save people who are need.
42:17
Speaker 2: Come on, these are the.
42:19
Speaker 1: Heroes of the the least we can do.
42:21
Speaker 5: Legit, guys. I just retweeted a video of a nurse
42:24
Speaker 5: hysterically crying and she was like, I had to quit
42:27
Speaker 5: my job because they put me in a COVID nineteen
42:30
Speaker 5: unit without a mask, and I have a family I
42:33
Speaker 5: have to protect, and she has to quit her job.
42:36
Speaker 5: We don't want nurses dying. We don't need them in fear.
42:39
Speaker 5: They're having to write wills on the fly because they're
42:43
Speaker 5: afraid they're going to die, and the gangster ones are
42:45
Speaker 5: still going in and they are just hoping for the best.
42:49
Speaker 5: Oh my god, this is a disaster of epic proportions.
42:52
Speaker 5: How dare we in this century, in twenty twenty allow
42:58
Speaker 5: the people who take care of us to be jeff
43:00
Speaker 5: the way they are. It's absolutely disgusting. And I'm sorry.
43:05
Speaker 5: I'm not a genius, but I knew what was coming,
43:07
Speaker 5: and so other people should have known to and actions
43:10
Speaker 5: should have been taken.
43:11
Speaker 6: Well, I think we can all Monday Morning quarterback, But
43:14
Speaker 6: I understand the philosophy randal of you don't want economic
43:18
Speaker 6: collapse either, because that's going to lead to even greater problems.
43:22
Speaker 6: So you roll the dice and hope you can keep
43:25
Speaker 6: the economy going. And you know what, it just didn't
43:28
Speaker 6: pay off. So now we just have to do.
43:30
Speaker 4: And by the way, because I was just moved to
43:32
Speaker 4: tears there and so is Lalla, I just want to
43:33
Speaker 4: say something. I don't think in a hundred years since
43:37
Speaker 4: the Spanish flew, I think exactly that Kevin. I think
43:40
Speaker 4: the government thought they're going to roll the dice. This
43:42
Speaker 4: will be some small situation that we'll catch, they'll fix,
43:46
Speaker 4: they'll it won't it won't blow up. But every hundred
43:49
Speaker 4: years something like this happens and it just nobody saw coming.
43:55
Speaker 4: And I agree Maria. You know in the United States
43:58
Speaker 4: of America should be better, but of course.
44:00
Speaker 3: They should protect their people. And like Maia said, at
44:02
Speaker 3: this day and time.
44:04
Speaker 1: We should be the ability to be better, right.
44:07
Speaker 4: But if the government can't do it, then people like you, Maria,
44:10
Speaker 4: and Kevin and and Beth Andy Franklin all the other
44:13
Speaker 4: people out.
44:13
Speaker 2: There and you guys and US and US and US.
44:16
Speaker 4: But you know, and I you know, Lala, and I uh,
44:19
Speaker 4: you know, just did our podcast today was with a
44:23
Speaker 4: COVID survivor, a guy that we became friends with, and
44:27
Speaker 4: he's forty years old with no underlying health issues. He
44:29
Speaker 4: did five days in intensive care at the hospital, fighting
44:32
Speaker 4: for his life. He's out now, and I wanted people
44:35
Speaker 4: to hear from him. You know, like, this is affecting everybody, young, old,
44:41
Speaker 4: healthy or nonhealthy. This will change your life. It has
44:45
Speaker 4: changed everybody's life already. But we want to protect and
44:49
Speaker 4: save and be and keep people as healthy as we can.
44:51
Speaker 4: And I just feel like we all have this obligation.
44:54
Speaker 5: But I also think I also think, guys, like, here's
44:57
Speaker 5: the thing. I agree with the tech the economy, because
45:01
Speaker 5: you're protecting people in general when you do that. But
45:03
Speaker 5: when you see that something could be coming, and this
45:06
Speaker 5: is just for the future, you need to protect the downside.
45:10
Speaker 5: You need to go into action and say this could
45:13
Speaker 5: be coming. Why don't we arm our hospitals, arm our
45:17
Speaker 5: governor is prepare everybody for the worst. When we have
45:20
Speaker 5: a hurricane coming, we start to prepare.
45:23
Speaker 6: Never happened in our lifetime. You hear Randall said it
45:27
Speaker 6: was one hundred years ago, the Spanish flu. And the
45:30
Speaker 6: only reason they called it the Spanish flu. Do you
45:32
Speaker 6: know why, guys, because Spain was the only place to
45:37
Speaker 6: admit that they had a flu everyone else did what
45:40
Speaker 6: we did today. Everyone denied it because they didn't want
45:43
Speaker 6: the economy to collapse. We have not seen this in
45:46
Speaker 6: our lifetime.
45:47
Speaker 2: Now, one hundred and ten years ago or something. It
45:49
Speaker 2: was like one hundred and ten years ago.
45:50
Speaker 4: And I agree with you, Kevin, like this is that
45:53
Speaker 4: one thing going to the other side.
45:54
Speaker 2: We need to learn from this.
45:55
Speaker 4: When we get through it, so that one hundred years
45:58
Speaker 4: from now or two hundred years now, if this ever
46:00
Speaker 4: happens again, and it will happen again, I'm sure at
46:03
Speaker 4: some point that we're prepared and that people like Maria
46:07
Speaker 4: and and and and and we just don't we're better prepared,
46:11
Speaker 4: like the hospitals and doctors and nurses, and I'll just say,
46:16
Speaker 4: you know, this is a time of uncertainty, but at
46:19
Speaker 4: the same time, it's a time for the human spirit.
46:21
Speaker 4: And that's what this is an example of for me.
46:24
Speaker 4: That's why I'm that's the that's the upside of this
46:27
Speaker 4: for me.
46:27
Speaker 1: You have to have an upside.
46:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna know, there's gonna be a huge reset,
46:31
Speaker 6: which we totally needed as a culture. And you guys
46:34
Speaker 6: know that we're getting you know, and furthermore, you know
46:37
Speaker 6: that remember Randall, do you remember your great grandparents or
46:39
Speaker 6: the depression survivors, how they had kids food in their
46:43
Speaker 6: basement forever. That's gonna be all of us now, like
46:46
Speaker 6: we're going to carry this with us. We'll all be
46:49
Speaker 6: kind of you know, at least in our life lifetimes,
46:51
Speaker 6: we'll all be prepared after this.
46:52
Speaker 5: One other thing. One other thing that people can do
46:55
Speaker 5: that are listening to this, because you guys are obviously
46:58
Speaker 5: crushing it with your podcast and have so many listeners,
47:03
Speaker 5: is if you are in an affected area, send you
47:06
Speaker 5: the local hospital some cookies or some treats, or some
47:10
Speaker 5: snacks or flowers. Well you can't do flowers anymore, but
47:15
Speaker 5: send them food, send them some soup, send them something
47:18
Speaker 5: so that they know they have something there. And if
47:22
Speaker 5: you are an attorney and you can share your services
47:25
Speaker 5: right now with doctors and nurses, call up the CEO
47:28
Speaker 5: of a hospital and say, I would love to extend
47:31
Speaker 5: my services to these doctors and nurses who are panicking
47:34
Speaker 5: right now. There are so many things that we can
47:36
Speaker 5: all do. We can share our gifts, our talents, our
47:39
Speaker 5: skills with them right now because they need it most.
47:42
Speaker 5: The first responder is the EMTs, the fire departments send
47:46
Speaker 5: food to them.
47:47
Speaker 4: Wait, Kevin Murray, you guys saying like we could just
47:49
Speaker 4: get in the car, drop off a bag of groceries
47:52
Speaker 4: or a bag of this, or some hot food or
47:54
Speaker 4: some hot lunch, and that that helps.
47:57
Speaker 2: Like everything at this point helps.
47:58
Speaker 5: You're saying anything, everything helps, I think, Kevin. What Kevin
48:02
Speaker 5: said is a good point is you can support the
48:04
Speaker 5: local economy by ordering food and having it delivered to
48:08
Speaker 5: the hospitals. And you could just say this is for
48:11
Speaker 5: you know, the staff here at this hospital that needs
48:13
Speaker 5: it most, and you know, whatever.
48:16
Speaker 2: Idea, it's a great idea.
48:17
Speaker 7: There's one of the people are doing, you, guys, is
48:20
Speaker 7: for some of the local businesses if you want to
48:22
Speaker 7: support them by gift cards. A lot of them are
48:24
Speaker 7: selling gift cards for when the smoke clears, you can
48:27
Speaker 7: go out and use them. But all these like little things.
48:30
Speaker 7: Because I'm telling you, I don't wave this is wave one.
48:33
Speaker 7: Wave two is to see it's one thing to be sick,
48:35
Speaker 7: but to be.
48:36
Speaker 6: Impoverish and sick, you guys, I don't really want to
48:39
Speaker 6: see that.
48:39
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, that's yeah. And you're right, Kevin.
48:42
Speaker 4: It's it's so smart of you because you know, you're
48:45
Speaker 4: you're saying, Okay, we're going to get through the health
48:47
Speaker 4: part of this.
48:48
Speaker 2: It's going to be brutal, and we're in it now.
48:50
Speaker 1: But we have to be prepared for prepared for wave too.
48:53
Speaker 1: We are healthy.
48:54
Speaker 4: When people are on the street losing their homes, losing
48:56
Speaker 4: their businesses, you know, we've we've got to also be
48:59
Speaker 4: ready for that.
49:00
Speaker 2: And that's next. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:02
Speaker 5: And here's the thing, guys, we haven't even started. I'm
49:07
Speaker 5: telling you, it is going to be such a pain
49:10
Speaker 5: that we don't even know how to fucking handle.
49:12
Speaker 2: Well.
49:12
Speaker 5: It is going to be a very deep beating to
49:15
Speaker 5: see the people around you dropping the way that this
49:18
Speaker 5: is going to hit. And I hope that in California
49:21
Speaker 5: what they're saying is true, that we did the social distancing,
49:25
Speaker 5: and also because we're so spread out, it won't hit
49:28
Speaker 5: as hard. I'm praying, But everybody has to stay in
49:32
Speaker 5: In New York. It's going to be brutal. It already
49:34
Speaker 5: is brutal because they're so close. It's such tight quarters
49:37
Speaker 5: for everybody.
49:38
Speaker 2: New York is unreal.
49:39
Speaker 4: I've seen the pictures, the body bags and the refrigerated
49:42
Speaker 4: trucks that they're using on the side of the street and.
49:44
Speaker 5: We've just begun, guys, We've just begun, So stay in.
49:50
Speaker 6: And I think the other thing too, is for people
49:52
Speaker 6: who have children out there, you know, you can look
49:55
Speaker 6: at this as as a really bad thing to expose
49:59
Speaker 6: them to, or you can look at this as an
50:00
Speaker 6: opportunity to teach them about life and have them, you know,
50:04
Speaker 6: now do yours and be you know, understand that they
50:06
Speaker 6: have to be part of this team and this kind
50:08
Speaker 6: of team effort like they did back in the depression,
50:11
Speaker 6: rand like they did those other times. Like it's about saying, hey,
50:14
Speaker 6: like I have friends who's the kids are kind of
50:17
Speaker 6: trampling them, and then I have other friends that are
50:19
Speaker 6: the stronger parents were like, hey, you're going to do
50:22
Speaker 6: dishes now, and you're gonna help set the table, and
50:24
Speaker 6: you're gonna like, we're gonna not work together to make
50:28
Speaker 6: the better of this.
50:29
Speaker 4: So I want I want to I want to just
50:30
Speaker 4: say one last thing on that, Kevin, You're one hundred
50:32
Speaker 4: percent right Laala. You know who's a step mom to
50:35
Speaker 4: two little girls. We have had to change our whole world.
50:38
Speaker 4: I mean, we're all home and and at first it
50:42
Speaker 4: was not easy everybody was overwhelmed. Everybody's on top of
50:44
Speaker 4: each other. But I think we've just started to get
50:46
Speaker 4: in our groove with school first, reading, quality time and
50:51
Speaker 4: and and growing up time. Laala and I both have
50:54
Speaker 4: have sat the girls down and said, nobody's going to
50:56
Speaker 4: be acting like an animal in this house. We're all
50:58
Speaker 4: gonna learn be together. We're going to play games where
51:02
Speaker 4: I mean, I played more Uno. What's that other game?
51:04
Speaker 4: You got me playing?
51:05
Speaker 1: Rummy Cue?
51:06
Speaker 4: Rummy cue, more Rummy cue, more coloring. So anyway, I
51:10
Speaker 4: think Kevin, your words are right on the money. People
51:13
Speaker 4: have to come together as families. They have to spend
51:15
Speaker 4: quality time and and take the best from this.
51:18
