1
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous.

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: It's La La Kent with Randall, and we are still quarantine.

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: We are quarantined af We.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Are quarantinedf you know, it feels like every day that

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 3: goes by is more wearing on our souls. It's just tough.

6
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh my soul is done dead.

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

8
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like I look out the window

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: and it could be a gorgeous day, and I'm.

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: Like, fuck this day, it doesn't fucking matter.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: No, And then the press gets on and he's like,

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: I think we need to extend this until April thirtieth,

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: which granted, I'm like, great, if that's going to keep

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: us healthy.

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: Safe wise, obviously, Yeah, And let me just second that,

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: like I get it, okay, works to anybody, or thirtieth.

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: We're saving lives, We're trying to hit our peak, you know,

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: of the virus, so that we can start going back

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: to some form of normalcy. But I'm going to tell

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: you a lat I've never been affected by this. I mean,

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, let me rewind that I've never been affected.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: Like yeah, it's almost like a bad dream. Every day

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: you wake up and you want like, you know me,

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm an optimist, so I wake up and I'm like,

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: let's attack, let's crush the day.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Let's you know, yeah, I take over the world, right,

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: you have a lot of energy.

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: I do, but but it's wearing, and it's emotional, and

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: it's it's every day I'm fighting with myself, you know,

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: to try to stay positive and listen to friends and

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: and and just you know, be optimistic. You know, in

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: a time that's not easy to be optimistic in.

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: You know what is so crazy though, Like I'm antisocial.

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Everyone knows that, Like this quarantine. It's like I wasn't

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: socializing with people before this, you know, like it takes

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: a lot to just get me out of my house. No.

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: The only way you get out of the house, by

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: the way, let's just be clear so people know is

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: if there's.

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: A job, a job yet.

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 3: Or for a family member other than that.

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: And for the gym, which you always go to the gym, right,

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: So for me, that's where like for me going to

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: the gym. The reason why I pay for a trainer

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: is because I will not work out otherwise. I haven't

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: worked out while we've been quarantined, not that a.

47
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Day, nothing, not even no nothing.

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: I have a trainer for that reason because I'm held accountable.

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: I get up, I go to the gym in the morning.

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: You're paying, I'm paying.

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: That's so it's like that's an incentive.

52
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: Of course, you're somebody. If you lose five dollars, you.

53
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: Go, I go and say. And so for me, the

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: workout in the morning is what the driving force of

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: my day. It's like, once I get that done, it's like,

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I can't wait to go do this,

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: do that.

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know what I notice, And obviously I

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: took it all for granted, but I mean just life,

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, But I remember I go to the

61
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: office at like nine am, right, and then you'd call me.

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: Always abound between eight and ten, you were like no

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: one could talk to you. It was like, angry, get

64
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: the coffee. I'm going to the gym, the coffee.

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Go to the gym.

66
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Don't talk to me until it's finished.

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: By eleven thirty, you'd call me with that, Hey, what

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: are we doing today? Or I'm coming by the office.

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: We got to do this. And I noticed that, and

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: now we don't have that kick for you. And also

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: I don't have that kick at the top of the day,

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: and I think I'm thinking about everybody, Like lots of

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: friends of mine I've talked to, they don't have that kit.

74
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: There's nowhere to find it. Because all we're hoping is

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: can we go back to our normal lives? And also

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: we don't want to die. So these are two things

77
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: that I don't think we ever thought we'd have to

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: face as a as a world, as a as the universe. Right,

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: It's like, it's not like you I'm trying to put

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: these in words. It's not like you. You have a

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: friend who's sick, and you go to the hospital and

82
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: you want you pray for them, and you want them

83
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: to get better, right, and you go back to your

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: office and you try to go on with your day.

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: But everybody's in the same boat. Everybody's hoping that they

86
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: stay healthy. And everybody's quarantined to their house, so their

87
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: apartment or we're our friend's house. So I just feel

88
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: like we're all in this zombie likesf.

89
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I feel.

90
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: And I'm going to be I'm going to fill you

91
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: guys in on something right now.

92
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm a conspiracy theorist.

93
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Oh god, I think that this is a way for

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: the government to gain control of the human race, and

95
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: it's gone very badly. And I will well in my

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: mind it's gone bad for someone very high up. It

97
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: could be this is exactly what they were hoping for.

98
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: The reason that I conformed is because COVID nineteen is

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: taking people's lives.

100
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: So I do stay in my house.

101
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: Yes, I do stay in my house because God forbid

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: I catch it, and even more, God forbid I give

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: it to someone who's older if I were to have it,

104
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: which I do not.

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: But I believe.

106
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, something's going on. Something is going on. And

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: Randall is totally He's like, you're crazy, lot.

108
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm sitting I'm sitting two feet from you. I want

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: to fall out of my chair right now. But law,

110
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: here's the thing. You're my partner and I love you.

111
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: If you believe this is conspiracy, then I have to

112
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: let you believe that. And I've read articles where people

113
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: believe that. Here's what I believe. I believe that some

114
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: idiot far away I ate some fucking animal that they

115
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: shouldn't have been fucking eating. And all the scientists are saying,

116
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: and medical specialists that this was like the perfect storm,

117
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: like it took the virus into this person in China

118
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: and manifested itself perfectly and then was able to mutate

119
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: going to other people, and here we are with a

120
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: worldwide pandemic. All I'm going to say is this sucks.

121
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't give a shit. I've woken up every day,

122
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: you know me a lot. See she's smiling now if

123
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: you guys can see her. The thing is, she knows

124
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: that I'm the biggest optimist and for me and for

125
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: me to wake up daily and feel this dark cloud

126
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: like everybody's feeling, you know, you're trying to make the

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: best of it. You really do, but it's not easy.

128
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: Randall's mad because he can't go direct his movie.

129
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.

130
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: Randall is like a fucking uh what is that? The

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: energizer bunny.

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good word.

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Keep going and going and going.

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: That is you.

135
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: And so for you, the dark cloud is because you

136
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: can't be out and about and socializing and doing this

137
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: and do you have sound.

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: It's like a creative person and it's.

139
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Totally I get that hard for an.

140
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: Artist, whether you're a filmmaker or an actor or a

141
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: director or anything, it's hard when you don't have an

142
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: outlet to be creative. So I mean, the great thing

143
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: and I said to you today is let's just get

144
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: on our podcast because we like it's something that gets

145
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: us to be able to share our feelings and talk

146
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: about things.

147
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Well, it makes me again, I am driven, like I'm

148
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: not leaving the house unless I'm going to someone else's

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 2: house like Katie or Brittany's, or if I'm getting paid

150
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: to leave my house.

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

152
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: Otherwise I don't see a reason to leave my house.

153
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: I'm like quarantined with or without coronaout.

154
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: I can ask a question. I understand that because I've

155
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: been with you for four years. Right. The thing that

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: I want to know that I think that you're not,

157
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880

182
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: things that like and look as a man, I can

Speaker 2: manny petty but fresh.

186
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: But the thing is you and I used to like

187
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: to go do that. It was like a fun little thing.

188
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: It was like a half hour. And the thing is,

189
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: we have no options. And the options are you have

190
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: to be really creative right now. But on top of that,

191
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: you have to keep your spirit up.

192
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: And look, my spirit has remained up by playing endless

193
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: amounts of rumming cues, and I got a coloring book

194
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: and a cran set of one hundred and fifty two,

195
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: and Rand's kids pulled one of my crans out of

196
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: my coloring box and I was like, oh, hel no,

00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: This, Like it makes me sick. I had no idea.

247
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: I was raised in Utah and I came west to California,

248
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: Like we're open minded, we're normal.

252
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: whole thing was it went back to the all the

253
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: money that was wasted that could have gone to helping

254
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: the fucking lions, tigers, bears in captivity, the apes. As

255
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: an animal activist, like you know, Blackfish changed.

256
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: My entire life.

257
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: Yes, when I saw that documentary, it just like transformed everything. Yes,

258
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: my new cause, I think is like getting people to

259
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: understand what the fuck it means to rehabilitate an animal.

260
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: I need to weigh in here. So you promoted this

261
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: documentary to me for a long time. For about a

262
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: week straight, you kept saying you need to see this,

263
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: and I kept seeing online people going crazy over him.

264
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: So finally you got me to sit down and I

265
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: watched the first episode. I was hooked, hooked. Okay, it

266
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: is surreal, it's amazing, and I know that you're going

267
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: to get angry because I think it's amazing television. Let's

268
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: start there. Yes, the people are fucked up with the

269
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: abuse of how they put in these animals. But what

270
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 3: I want to tell you is this this guy, Tiger,

271
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 3: the Tiger King, that's his name, Tiger King.

272
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Joe Exotic, Joe Exotic.

273
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 3: Yes, Joe Exotic should have been the biggest country star ever.

274
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: He is phenomenal, voice, phenomenal. He should have been in Nashville.

275
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 3: Got rid of the animals and gone off and said.

276
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: You want to know what's so insane is that Joe Exotic.

277
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: To me, was the most likable one.

278
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: I like Joe Exotic.

279
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: Carol Baskin is up in here, fucking fooling everyone, acting

280
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: like she has a sanctuary.

281
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: For about Carol Baskin, She's full of shit. She's full

282
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: of shit shit, And.

283
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Carol, she loves to see everybody.

284
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: She sues everybody for what our opinion.

285
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: It's free speech.

286
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't tough shit, tough.

287
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: Shit, and I'm in quarantine, so I don't give a shit,

288
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: Carol Baskin now, Oh no, yeah, you know what. We're

289
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: both going in.

290
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Know what though, miss Joe Exotic.

291
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: Joe is that if we come there and rescue.

292
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Joe Exotic is on the other side now he's talking

293
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: to Peta.

294
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: He's.

295
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: The most powerful moment in that entire documentary was when

296
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: Joe Exotic said, you want to know why they say

297
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 2: animals dyeing cages, It's because their soul dies.

298
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: And right then I was like, you fucking get it right.

299
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with the way that you're

300
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: loving that animal behind a cage. They don't belong in there.

301
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I always stand by your cause.

302
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: But then we have these fuckers that go out like

303
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: the guy that owns Jimmy Johns and he's out fucking

304
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: pop being these beautiful animals for sport, you know, like

305
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: trophy hunting. Again, these people exist on our planet and

306
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: it it's terrifying.

307
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: People don't know your obsession and passion for animal rights.

308
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean, when we go to Las Vegas, you will

309
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: not stay at certain hotels. We're not gonna mention it.

310
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: So don't do that, all.

311
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Right, But you guys know which hotels.

312
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: She just won't stay at hotels where there's any animals

313
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: kept in captivity, so no. So basically in Las Vegas

314
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: and other places all over the world, we're limited to

315
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: about four hotels.

316
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: I also do extensive research on zoos, because if you

317
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: think I'm walking into a zoo, which I haven't been

318
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: to a zoo since I was a kid, but I

319
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: really do the fucking work to see if that zoo

320
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: really really is doing what they claim to do.

321
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: True, You're true about this stuff at all.

322
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: What I do want to say is some people are

323
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: up on the internet and they're like, oh my god,

324
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: the people of vander Pump Rules or whatever reality show

325
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,359
Speaker 2: like people like this exist.

326
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: You know what, We're fucking gems compared to people.

327
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: That exist who are doing real, fucking dirty shows.

328
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: Well, none of you guys are are evil in spirit.

00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Those those some of these people out there on some

330
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: of these documentaries on watch air.

331
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's crazy.

332
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: Though they're vicious, they're not only vicious, but they're just

333
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: uneducated people.

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's why they make great televisions.

335
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: He's like, what the fuck?

336
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: And then that, and then one of the guys is like,

337
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: and my wife's pregnant and he's like showing the nanny.

338
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, stop creating, stop having babies.

339
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: Don't but take a second for one second and say

340
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: you were addicted to that documentary. It was high level.

341
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: It was one of the most entertainments.

342
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Addicted.

343
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: I can't I go to bed dreaming about it.

344
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: You wish there were another ten episodes?

345
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: I do.

346
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: But then I read this, Uh, the director or the

347
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: producers did a Q and A, and I read about

348
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: the process of them filming over five years, and one

349
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: of the girls that worked on it was like, you know,

350
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: I feel like this has ended.

351
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Like I did my job.

352
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: And everything, and I was like, you know what, I

353
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: just hope that something great comes out of this, and

354
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: people watching the documentary don't focus too much on the

355
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: stories of the people and focus on why they made

356
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: that documentary, and that was to shed light on big

357
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: cats in captivity.

358
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Well, I think everybody saw that, and they also were

359
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: exposed Like, for instance, I've never even knew this exists

360
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: in the US. So for me, somebody that knows about

361
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: a lot a lot about animal rights because of being

362
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: with you, I think that even opened my eyes further.

363
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: So I think a lot of people are going to

364
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: be educated and be sensitives and stuff. I want to

365
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: just pivot here to get ready for our guests, okay,

366
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: in which I'm really really excited.

367
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Was our guest Rand tell them.

368
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: Our guest is an actor who I met because friends

369
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: of mine were friends of mine in the industry were concerned,

370
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: and friends of this person's names Brad Schmidt, and he

371
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: contracted covid okay, and I about ten days ago, I

372
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: saw on his story that he had gone into the

373
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: hospital and he had written this really lengthy story and

374
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: now as a young man in his thirties with no

375
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: underlying health issues, and he went to the doctor basically

376
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: came down with it, didn't feel good. Went to the doctor,

377
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: they couldn't get a test, went home, gave him some medication.

378
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: He got worse, worse, to the point where he told

379
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: me he thought he was breathing shards of glass. Wow.

380
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: And fast forward. Finally his doctor said, on day six,

381
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: it was so bad, he said, you need to walk

382
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: yourself into the emergency room to get a test. Watch

383
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: selse the emergency room. He had double pneumonia in each

384
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 3: of pneumonia each of his lungs. They tested him, they

385
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 3: came back positive, and basically I think he was basically

386
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: fighting for his life to get stabilized. And he just

387
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: got released yesterday or the day before, and we're going

388
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: to have him call in and we're going to I

389
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: really am excited about this because I want people to

390
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: know and hear from somebody that's in your age group,

391
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: and that's you know, younger than me, but was perfectly

392
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: healthy and here was fighting for his life. And I

393
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: think that's the seriousness of this virus that we need

394
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: to hear about.

395
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get him on the phone and

396
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: we will be right back.

397
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: All right, We're back, law. What's up?

398
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: We have a very special guest on the line.

399
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: We do. We have Brad Schmidt. Brad say hello everybody. So, Brad,

400
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: you are somebody who I linked up with friends of

401
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: mine or friends of yours and through social media about

402
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: twelve or fourteen days ago. I had seen that you

403
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: contracted COVID. Is that correct? Correct? And the reason I

404
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: have you on because I've been texting you daily, you know,

405
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: and keeping in touch with you in the hospital and

406
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: we've never met. But it went very sweet by the

407
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 3: way you know. It really affected me because you know,

408
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: somebody who's forty years old, you have a wife, you

409
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: have two young children, a healthy guy, you have no

410
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: underlying issues. Correct, true?

411
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 5: Well, true?

412
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: Ye, So I see this, I see your story. I

413
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: moved and I start texting you and you tell me

414
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, you're in really bad shape at the hospital.

415
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: So basically what I want to do is I want

416
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: people to understand from somebody who's been through this, how

417
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: serious this became, and how somebody who is young and

418
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: healthy is affected. Because I was affected by your story.

419
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 3: I was floored, emotional, I was I was sad, I

420
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: was you know, I just was freaked the fuck out.

421
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: And if I'm freaked the fuck out and you're laying

422
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: in a hospital bed where your family can't be with you,

423
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: I want you to take us through the journey from

424
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: when you first had symptoms and kind of give us

425
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: like a diary.

426
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think you know, like most people in the beginning,

427
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: that's just progressing. I mean, like I said, you know,

428
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: I'm healthy, responsible, and like I'm always washing my hands.

429
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 5: I have no underlying health issues. So like observing this

430
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 5: to the news and hearing stories, it always felt like

431
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: something once removed like, Okay, it's going on. It's there,

432
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 5: but it's not going to happen to me. This isn't

433
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: something that's going to affect me. And if it does,

434
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 5: it's the flu. Like I'll beat it. It's okay, I'm

435
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 5: not worried about it. It was a Friday, I would

436
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 5: say Fridays. I think it was like Friday the thirteenth.

437
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 5: Ironically about that, wow, yeah, I started to feel, you know,

438
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 5: like a little kind of under the weather. I had

439
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: a cold coming on then that evening, I think when

440
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 5: I went to bed, I had kind of the chills,

441
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: and I thought to myself, all right, you know what,

442
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: I'm a load up and inviting and see, I'm going

443
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: to rest. It's going to kind of sleep through the

444
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 5: weekend and sleep it off. And usually I can bounce

445
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: back from a cold really quickly. Well, that Monday rolled

446
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: around the sixteenth, and brother, I was, I'm gonna say it.

447
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: I don't care. I was fucked up.

448
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: That's okay, allowed, after what you've been through, you could

449
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: say whatever you.

450
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: Want, Okay, good, all right, we'll clear it. But there's

451
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: no other way for me to put it. Like you know,

452
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: I'm pretty aware, like anybody that's really healthy of like

453
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: when my body feels a little bit off, but it's

454
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: like something you haven't felt before. I felt that way,

455
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 5: so I called my doctor. They told me to come

456
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 5: in and basically just kind of get a test for

457
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 5: the flu, do a scan of my lungs. And I

458
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 5: knew something was really off and I had this odd

459
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: I really like it, like really odd. They call it

460
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 5: a dry cough. I don't know if that's right, but

461
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 5: it's it was almost like a weeze. And I'm like, Okay,

462
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 5: this doesn't feel right. So I go. When I sit down,

463
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 5: my doctor's not there. If you feel like I see

464
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: another doctor, a very sweet guy, doctor Jason Waie, and

465
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: he's you know, looking at me. Everybody's masked up. Everybody's

466
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 5: a little bit freaked out because COVID is starting to

467
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 5: kind of pop off, and they don't really know like

468
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: how to treat you. Meaning you know, I was I

469
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 5: was a baby, you know, like in the early you know, eighties,

470
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: but I imagine it was like you know, when you contracted

471
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 5: AIDS at the onset of that disease, people just didn't

472
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 5: know how to treat you. So they put me in

473
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 5: this private room. They had me throwing a mask and

474
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 5: they did a scan of my lungs first.

475
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: I actually thought of that the other day. I was

476
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: thinking about when the AIDS epidemic first came onto the scene.

477
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: What the eighties, you know, look or late seventies, early eighties,

478
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 3: what that looked like. I think people went through a

479
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: very similar Just why didn't have the knowledge?

480
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, nobody knows, that's the thing. And you don't

481
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 5: want to make it like a one to one obviously,

482
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: but I have to tell you, no one knew what

483
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: to do. Oh Like, even even when I went into

484
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: the hospital, they had a guard kind of slash nurse

485
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: just inside the doors. And I'll never forget I walked

486
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: in when they were going to knit me. I gave

487
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: the guy my name, and right away he knew who

488
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 5: I was because they were expecting me. Wow, someone was

489
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 5: trying to come into the doors behind me and he

490
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 5: started screaming, what stay out, stay out, stay out. So

491
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 5: I like processed me and I thought, holy fucking shit.

492
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a question, is this is this day too?

493
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: Are you on day two now or day three? When

494
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: we're when we're at this one.

495
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: So and you see la I'm at day three, okay,

496
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 5: so I'm usually i'm a day three to do a scan.

497
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 5: They see, you've got a very small spot on your lungs,

498
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 5: like basically like an acute bronchitess. I'm like, okay, they

499
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: give me a regular food test. The food test comes

500
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 5: back right away. You're negative. So they're like, look, you

501
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 5: do listen to this. You do not meet all the

502
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 5: symptoms for COVID.

503
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh this is what.

504
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 5: They told me, and I knew. I was like, oh fuck,

505
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 5: they're not going to test me. So they said, listen,

506
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 5: go home. Yeah, they sent me home.

507
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: Oh, oh my god.

508
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: And you know what it wasn't It wasn't the doctor's fault, right,

509
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 5: They just said a didn't have the tests or be

510
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 5: they weren't able to get them. So he said, listen,

511
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: we'll keep checking in with you, but I can't give

512
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: you a test. Go home if your fever gets worse.

513
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: Because my fever was at around one hundred consistently. I'm

514
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 5: not too crazy, but I had a fever. Well have

515
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 5: you come back in.

516
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: Did you ask for the test? Because I'm curious at

517
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: that point because I know they didn't have the test.

518
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 3: Thing you asked for it, and they said, I did,

519
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: you don't meet the criteria.

520
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: Well, and it wasn't so black and white. He did

521
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 5: say that. But my understanding was he had to contact

522
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: someone at least at this moment, because this is fairly

523
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: early on when this started breaking out, he had to

524
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: contact someone at the TDC the permission to be able

525
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: to get me a test. And I'm thinking, they're fucking

526
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 5: kidding me. Wow, Okay, well what am I going to do? Right? Yeah?

527
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: So I go home. I go home. Okay, cold sweats

528
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: are getting worse. Cost starts getting progressively worse, fever starts

529
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 5: going up.

530
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: Are we in day four?

531
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: Now we're day four, day four, day five, like around

532
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 5: two that that Tuesday, like the seventeenth, thank you, like

533
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: Saint Patrick's day exactly.

534
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

535
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 5: And so the fever kept getting progressively worse and each day,

536
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: so the sixteen seventeen eighteen, the HOTA you see, I

537
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: would call on check in. There's literally nothing they could do.

538
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: They would say, doctor Lee is still trying to get

539
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 5: be okay for a test, but we can't get a test.

540
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 5: So now keep in mind, this is like some backstory

541
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: we don't really need to get into. But my wife

542
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: is she's doing like a career change. She's in the

543
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 5: middle of the nursing school. Oh right now in Wyoming,

544
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 5: right at the University of Wyoming with she's got my kids,

545
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: and so she's getting freaked out too because she's not

546
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: here to like take care of me or check in

547
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 5: on me. So finally the eighteenth, so we're day one, two, three, four, five. Now,

548
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: I mean I couldn't even got a bed.

549
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, hold on, So just so I understand

550
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: on day five. On day five, you couldn't, like the

551
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: fever was so bad, the shakes everything, you couldn't leave.

552
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: Now you can't walk around, I mean, you're that sick. No,

553
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: oh my god. Yeah, this is a nightmare.

554
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 5: To get from my bedroom to the bathroom like an

555
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 5: en suite, which was maybe five yards. I got a

556
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: breath that I'd be lightheaded, like literally out of breath.

557
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: At that point I got. At that point I go

558
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: to the hospital. There's not even a.

559
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 5: Question, well yeah, and then the question is like, well

560
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: do you just sit at the hospital? Do they It's

561
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: just there's no clear information.

562
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: Scary this story for me right now, and I'm telling you,

563
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: I have anxiety filling my body because I can't imagine.

564
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what you're feeling, because it's not like

565
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,239
Speaker 3: you could just drive to the hospital and they were

566
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 3: ready like today, you know what I mean, Like two

567
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: weeks later, they're obviously handling this differently, But you were

568
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: at the you were at the beginning of this, you know,

569
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 3: So so tell me now what happens five days in.

570
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 5: So the nurse calls and I mean, I at this

571
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 5: point of hacking, it's just a mess, and I don't

572
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: internally freak out much, but I was internally freaking out

573
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 5: because I could feel myself deteriorating. I could feel my

574
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: lung getting heavier. And the nurse says, doctor Lee couldn't

575
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 5: couldn't get anyone in the CBC to approve a test, right,

576
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: just get yourself, get in your car, take yourself into

577
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 5: Saint jos in Burbank because they had apparently released like

578
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: a couple hundred tests that they were giving there. So

579
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 5: I get in my car, I drive over there, which

580
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: was like a chore park. I start walking up and

581
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 5: they kind of have this whole outdoor tenting system kind

582
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 5: of set up, like it reminded me of that above

583
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 5: et where they had like all the tents set up

584
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 5: and the doctors walking around and have mess suits. So luckily,

585
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: like literally, by the grace of God, I was able.

586
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 5: I was like the third one there and it only

587
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 5: took like about an hour and a half and I

588
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 5: was able to get in. I sat down. The doctor

589
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 5: came into the tent, I took one look at me,

590
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 5: and basically he didn't say it, but he was like,

591
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 5: holy fuck. So he turned around. They got a test

592
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 5: test kit. He came in. It's really long, it's a

593
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 5: swab and they just stick it way in the back

594
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: here and it's really uncomfortable. Tested me for the regular flu.

595
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: Again.

596
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 5: That was negative, and he'sas listening to go home, just

597
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 5: lay down, just try to stay high grated, and we're

598
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 5: going to call you within two to three days with

599
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 5: the test resulte.

600
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: So they send you home again, Send me home again.

601
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and you know partially because while you know

602
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 5: I had a bad temperature, my vitals on the whole

603
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 5: were fairly okay. But one thing that was not good.

604
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 5: And I have to tell you this and anybody that's

605
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: listening that is like exercises or runs a lot. When

606
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 5: you're done, like exercising your heart rate. Your your standing

607
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: heart rate's usually pretty low. Mine is usually hovers around

608
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: like a fifty to fifty five A MC geek guy,

609
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 5: I was kind of track at my heart rate. There's

610
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 5: basically no activity was in one twenty? What my heart?

611
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: What is cranking? Yeah?

612
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: Oh so your heart was an overdrive. I mean it

613
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: was an under drive just to just to breathe, just

614
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: a function. I just this is this is scary.

615
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 5: So of retrospect, it makes sense. Why people would, you know,

616
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: pre existing conditions or hard conditions or just long issues

617
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 5: in general, you know, or are passing away. So I

618
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 5: go home. I think we're like at day six. Now

619
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: a day seven, that's Thursday, that's nineteenth.

620
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: They call.

621
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 5: The doctor calls and get this. It's a nurse. Excuse me.

622

Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So you're tested positive and you would think

640
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: they would tell you to come in right away.

641
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: So what happens?

00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: how do you feel? I'm like, you know, in my

644
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: head right and my animal brain of the kind of

645
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: fuck do you think I feel?

646
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Right?

647
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,680

648
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 5: you're not feeling great. The coughing is getting more persistence.

649
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 5: You said, listen, I'm going to talk to the hospital.

650
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: She's within a couple hours. If you're not, if things

651
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: are not feeling level off at all, you're not feeling better,

652
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 5: call me. We're going to have to come in. We're

653
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 5: going to admit you. And you know what I'm realizing

654
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 5: in retrospect is he they didn't know, which is they

655
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: just didn't have a lot of information b they were

656
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: worried about beds, you know. I mean, if I'm a

657
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: guy who has it, even though my cimizens are bad,

658
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 5: and I can beat it on my own by fink quarantines,

659
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 5: as opposed to someone who's going to legitimately die, they

660
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 5: want to save the bed for that person.

661
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: They want for people that need it. But I want

662
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: to say something here to people listening. I really believe

663
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: that if you've been and now, what day are you on, Brad,

664
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: six at this point or five?

665
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: No?

666
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Seven? I'm like going to day seven.

667
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 5: I'm on to day six seven, yes, seven, yeah.

668
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: In my opinion, in my opinion, And Brad, tell me

669
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: if you look backwards at this, if you were giving

670
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: advice to me and I was on day six or

671
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: seven and I couldn't breathe well, and I couldn't get

672
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: out of bed and my fever was spiking, wouldn't you

673
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: tell me get your ass the emergency room at this point.

674
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 5: Pick your fucking ass up off the floor and get

675
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 5: to the hospital.

676
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So that's the advice I'm saying. I get I

677
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: get what you're saying, and I agree with you. If

678
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: you're a healthy young person, you know, three days in

679
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: four days in you have a fever one hundred and

680
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: you can kind of walk around, then you don't need

681
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 3: to go to the hospital. I guess I'm not giving

682
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: advice as a doctor. I'm saying I respect what you're saying,

683
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: and I would agree with you personally right law. But

684
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: if you're day six or seven and you shit's bad,

685
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: it's time to go to the er and say help me.

686
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 5: You understand, you know, I've had a couple of friends

687
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 5: reach out to me. You know, actors on both coasts

688
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: here and in New York who you know they've been around

689
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 5: groups of people they're feeling sick. And even Randall, you know,

690
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 5: you kind of hit me up and you were talking

691
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 5: to me and saying you weren't feeling great. What were

692
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 5: the two indicators that I would say, don't even hesitate.

693
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 5: If you've had a fever and it's a low grade

694
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: fever like around one hundred and it's not going away,

695
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 5: and you've got the chills and you've got coughs, don't

696
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: listen to what anybody tells you. Get up, go to

697
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: the hospital, go to your doctor, just sit there until

698
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 5: they test you. That those are the two things that

699
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 5: I would say, especially if you have kids, you have

700
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 5: loved ones that you live with. I don't even wait,

701
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: just go so you can leavely know whether you are

702
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: and you're not, and then you can know what to

703
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 5: do next. That's what I've been telling anybody that's been

704
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 5: asking me.

705
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, And do you think that they may like

706
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: just because you're a healthy dude, And you may have

707
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: answered this already, I'm just like in a daze with

708
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: what you're saying, because I'm going to be honest with you.

709
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm a conspiracy theorist. I like this.

710
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: I think was concocted by somebody. It's affecting people, obviously,

711
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: like yourself. Do you think that they sent you away

712
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: because they looked at you and they were like, Okay,

713
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 2: he has a better chance then you know, say a

714
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: seventy year old who comes in, and we want to

715
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: save the beds for those people.

716
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 5: With all due respect and not to minimize a life

717
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 5: for anybody, but one hundred percent.

718
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they basically were they basically were playing. Basically,

719
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: they're looking at you saying you're not on your last lung. Yeah,

720
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: in their mind, in their mind, go home, you should

721
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: be fine. You're gonna get through this. They didn't have

722
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: all the tools at that point.

723
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 5: No, they've they've fought me like tooth and nail to

724
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: get tests. I mean a multiple. I mean it was unreal.

725
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 5: And even my doctor and I'm like, they're nable out there.

726
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 5: But my doctor has been a maternity who leads. Finally

727
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 5: got a hold of me when I was in the

728
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 5: hospital and she said, Brad, oh my god, and I was.

729
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 5: She was looking at a chart telling you what was

730
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 5: going on. She said, they should have taken you into

731
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 5: the hospital and give you a test, like that's the

732
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: first time you went in.

733
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, And this is how people are dying in

734
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 3: my opinion. In addition to underline, but I think people

735
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: are going in and they don't think it's that bad,

736
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: and they think it's the flu, or the hospital's not

737
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: ready to take them, or there's you know, the tests

738
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 3: are taking too long. And thank god this country now

739
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: is got finally is it feels like if you need

740
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: a test, you can get it. But I mean, this

741
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 3: is a horrific story. I mean, your story, thank god,

742
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: is being told so people can see what has happened

743
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: with this healthcare system.

744
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: Well, and it's also you know you've shed a lot

745
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: of light for me, because I'm somebody who if I

746
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: keep if I keep my blinders on, you know, I

747
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: think of it as like, I know it's happening.

748
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: It's just the flu.

749
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: If I get it, I'll kick it, and you know,

750
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: because it's not that, and I think your story will

751
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: open a lot of people's eyes and be aware.

752
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 5: Especially honestly, it's why I that's why I posted. It's

753
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 5: why did that post. It's why I have my wife

754
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 5: kind of reposted, you know, because I was kind of

755
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 5: dismissing it a little bit in the beginning. It was there,

756
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 5: but like, yeah, whatever, and I had some good friends

757
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 5: against some you know, working actors and people that I

758
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 5: know that travel a lot, really just kind of poopooing it,

759
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 5: like really just like, eh, that's not a big deal.

760
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 5: Guess what it fucking is?

761
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, No, this is no, this is

762
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: no joke. And I don't want to say that to

763
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: that effect that COVID this is really beyond its waste.

764
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to use the right word.

765
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: It is. You know, I was reading an article yesterday,

766
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: law and I was reading this article, and you know,

767
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: it brought so many tears to my eyes. How people

768
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 3: are dying alone that you can't you know, that's a

769
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: new thing. Now, can you bring your loved ones in

770
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 3: because you're going to contaminate them, et cetera. And are

771
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: you prepared to die alone? I think that's another part

772
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: of this.

773
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 5: I'm seeing those stories too. Yeah, and I think let's

774
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,279

Speaker 3: if you take your last breath and you're not even

779
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,239

00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay.

804
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 5: I get to the hospital and the biggest oh shit

805
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 5: moment was they're scanning your lungs once a day. I

806
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 5: get to the hospital. They want to take my blood,

807
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 5: they throw menoxygen the first thing what they want to do.

808
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 5: And they're still not like putting me like in a room.

809
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 5: They want to scan my lungs. I do a quick

810
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 5: scan while I'm in the bed. They go away. I'm waiting.

811
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: Twenty minutes, thirty minutes, forty minutes, like an hour goes by,

812
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 5: and then the doctor comes in. He's like, okay, we're

813
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 5: wheeling you up into a room. I've mentioned to you Randall,

814
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: I think maybe you have a message. I'm not sure,

815
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 5: but that spot on my lungs that they thought was

816
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 5: in a cute bronchitis on Monday, which was three and

817
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 5: a half days earlier, the COVID. This is what people

818
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 5: need to understand. And I know that this doesn't happen

819
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 5: to every buddy, but it didn't spread throughout both of

820
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 5: my lungs, both of them.

821
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you told me that you had pneumonia in each

822
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: of your lungs.

823
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 5: Correct double ammonia within like three and a half days,

824
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 5: So that that kind of kick start of this day.

825
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 5: And then you know, one of the last things they'll say.

826
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 5: While the doctors were all amazing, I had a promonologist,

827
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 5: infectious disease doctor in a general the one thing that

828
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 5: they were conferring every day and couldn't decide what to

829
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 5: do and ultimately decided not to give me any kind

830
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 5: of medicine, was how do we treat this? This is

831
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 5: the other thing no one's talking about. People are like, oh,

832
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 5: you know, they're doing anti malaria meds, and then there's

833
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 5: like this and that and vitamin seed rips. They didn't

834
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 5: give me shit primarily, And this this is the truth,

835
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 5: because you know, I get again a young I'm healthy,

836
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: but in my white blood kelts cell count was so

837
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 5: far down. They don't know what the side effects are,

838
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 5: and there are side effects to these things, and there

839
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 5: is no data on a lot of these medications, and

840
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 5: they don't know what's going to happen if they give

841
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 5: it to you, and they're really giving it to people

842
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 5: where it's kind of like a last salvo. It's like

843
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 5: the hell, Mary, give me some meds, give them something

844
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 5: to try to beat it.

845
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: Let me, let me ask a questions. When they put

846
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 3: you on the oxygen, did that feel better?

847
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe it might have helped, you know, help

848
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 5: helped a bit. The I'm gonna screw this up. I'm

849
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 5: not a doctor, but the you know, the oxygen level

850
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: of my blood was really low. I guess they say

851
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 5: if it's below like ninety five percent, it's pretty low.

852
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 5: I was below ninety, like around eighty five when I

853
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 5: got in. And the only thing that really freaked me

854
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 5: out the size and the skin was really I had

855
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 5: to think think about this. One of the things we

856
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 5: don't think about during the day. We never really think

857
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 5: about breathing. You just do it. I didn't think about Okay,

858
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 5: breathe the bread out, breathing, breathed out, breathem, breathed out.

859
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 5: Because I was so restricted and if I was breathing

860
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 5: too deep, it felt like I was, you know, swallowing.

861
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 5: It was just a crazy thing.

862
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: Yea, this is this is the nightmare of nightmares. So

863
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: now we're on day seven or eight in the hospital.

864
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 3: What happens? That's the turning point. And and this is

865
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: what I want to ask you. Do you feel in

866
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: your mind, in your soul that you might die in

867
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 3: this bed.

868
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 5: I honestly don't know. I mean I don't. I don't

869
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 5: think that I will. I do know in that moment,

870
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 5: I wasn't eating. I had zero appetite for days. I

871
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 5: wasn't eating. It hurt the move I was having trouble breathing.

872
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 5: I mean, I had had one moment. This is that

873
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: God is on his trust. I have one moment where

874
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 5: I had the nurse kind of get up and help me,

875
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 5: kind of like, you know, walk into the bathroom so

876
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 5: I could sit down and go to the bathroom. And

877
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 5: I was in so much pain and sitting on the

878
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 5: toilet and my heart rate was racing because I just

879
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 5: walked to the bathroom. I literally was like, oh my god,

880
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 5: this is this. You know, I don't want to be dramatic,

881
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 5: but if I'm being honest, it's like, fuck, I can't

882
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 5: can't get worse because if it gets worse, I didn't know.

883
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: What was going to happen if basically in that moment,

884
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 3: you believe, if if it got worse, you basically could

885
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 3: be looking at death.

886
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 5: Possibly.

887
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: That's how bad it was for you.

888
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 5: In that moment. And you know, the doctors, to their credit,

889
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 5: they made the right choice and not you know, giving

890
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 5: me anything. You know, my body started to you know,

891
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 5: started to recover. They were taking blood twice a day,

892
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 5: doing scans every day, and they were you know, encouraged enough.

893
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 3: Okay, how many how many days in the hospital before

894
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: they released you? Before you started feeling better? And on

895
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 3: what day overall of this experience did do so?

896
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 5: I spent almost seven days in the hospital.

897
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would freak out.

898
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 5: I spent a week in the hospital.

899
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 3: This is the week. I mean, this is the reality

900
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 3: that we're living. And that's the scare.

901
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 5: You would have told me that anything aside from a

902
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 5: car accident of some kind of terrible wreck was going

903
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 5: to put me in the hospital for a week when

904
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 5: college is fucking crazy.

905
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure, but that's I'm trying to tell people that.

906
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 3: That's what I think we're all trying to figure out here,

907
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: is that when they say stay at home, stay safe.

908
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 5: Please please please please stay at.

909
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 3: Home because this You're the example of all of us

910
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 3: in this age demographic laalas ten years younger, nine years older.

911
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 3: But you know, whether you're twenty five or forty five,

912
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,400

00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 5: I just I can't wait.

930
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 3: To see your kids.

931
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 5: I can't wait see my wife and kids. I haven't

932
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 5: seen them in so long, in a long time.

933
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: So wow, have you have you you haven't seen your

934
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: kids in two weeks or your wife?

935
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 5: Oh, longer than that, it's probably been about four about

936
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 5: four weeks.

937
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

938
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we FaceTime, thank god, you know we have that technology.

939
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: No, of course, But I mean, but but this is

940
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 3: the thing I'm talking about. This is what I want

941
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: people to understand. Not only do you have to go

942
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: through this horrible, horrible thing that hopefully you survive, but

943
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 3: you have to do it alone. You you can't see

944
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 3: your family. Your family can't see you. This is probably

945
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: one of the worst pandemics you know, we've faced in

946
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 3: the world. I mean in our lifetime, probably in our lifetime,

947
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: in our lifetime for sure, but I also think in

948
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: history this go down as one of the worst. And

949
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 3: when when I get mad because I'm sitting in my house,

950
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 3: in my kitchen right now. I need to remind myself

951
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: that the sun is shining, that I'm here. And you

952
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 3: know what, even though I'm going to bounce off the

953
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: walls every day all up, at least, at least I'm

954
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: at least we're safe and healthy. And I think your

955
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: your words. People need to hear you because there's only

956
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: one alternative, and that's you know, death, getting sick and

957
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 3: being quarantined alone for a month, or or being healthy

958
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 3: in your house.

959
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we just conform and listen to what they're

960
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: telling us to do.

961
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: Till it's safe for all of us. And I and

962
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: I do think, uh you know, I think you've been

963
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 3: in a roller coaster. Uh you know, and I got it. Honestly,

964
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 3: I applaud you and and the minute it's safe to

965
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 3: go out, and I mean this with all sincerity, we

966
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: are going out for a drink and we are going

967
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: to celebrate, you know, and get fucking handed.

968
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 5: I have to say this. I have to say this,

969
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: and I have to have to say this out loud.

970
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 5: I got so many messages in DMS and calls from

971
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 5: people that I know and that I love. But also

972
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 5: just as important is I got messages from people that

973
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 5: I don't even fucking know. It's like it was like

974
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 5: the beauty of like humanity, Like Randall for example. I

975
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 5: know we have like people in common, but we don't

976
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 5: know each other. You reached out and you were like, listen, man,

977
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 5: get better, like I'm with you, and it really helped.

978
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 5: It really really did. So I really appreciate you reaching out.

979
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 5: I really do you.

980
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 3: You were I just want to say this, you were

981
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 3: an inspiration in a time. Obviously every week they're getting

982
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: better with the testing and and and the support and

983
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: all that. But I knew when I saw somebody a

984
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: peer of mine, you know, even though we didn't know

985
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 3: each other, but in my peer group, in my industry,

986
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 3: you know, you live seven minutes down the street from me,

987
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: I wanted to reach out and say, hey, you've got somebody.

00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 5: Man, Randall, thank you, loll I appreciate you guys.

1008
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: Thanks, thank you all right.

1009
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 3: Thank you take care.

1010
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: Wow, that was intense.

1011
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 3: That that just makes me realize that we are lucky.

1012
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: And even though we're all confined to our homes and

1013
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 3: we're bitching about not being able to leave our homes. Yeah,

1014
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 3: listening to his story, I'm gonna take a lap around

1015
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: the house and be grateful because this shit is real

1016
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: and it's horrible and people are dying and people are

1017
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 3: getting sick. But what doesn't it shock you that somebody

1018
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 3: in our business, our industry, close to us is young

1019
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 3: and had no underlying issues.

1020
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: Well, it just goes to show you this, this virus,

1021
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't discriminate against anybody it's like it will affect

1022
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: you whether you're young, old, middle age, it doesn't matter

1023
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: healthy not healthy. It just affects us in a different way.

1024
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: And you know, after hearing, because I needed to hear that.

1025
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I did.

1026
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: For me, this is a fucking joke.

1027
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 2: If I want to leave my house, And keep in mind,

1028
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: I haven't left my house becauseantined. I've definitely been quarantined

1029
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: and I've done that for other people's safety because I

1030
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: know other people are very much like, get the fuck

1031
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: away from me, and I get it.

1032
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 3: But I think young people in your generation are saying,

1033
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 3: and I think it's it's not I think they're just some,

1034
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: not all young people. But I think a lot of

1035
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 3: young people are saying taking the thing of if I

1036
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 3: get it, I'm I'll be.

1037
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll bet see, And for me, I think of

1038
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: it the other way, Like for me, I'm not like,

1039
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 2: if I get it, I'll be okay.

1040
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like God forbid, if.

1041
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: I leave my house, if I were to have it,

1042
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 2: if I gave it to someone who couldn't fight it

1043
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: off as easily as I could. That is the only

1044
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: reason why I've stayed quarantined. But I think as we

1045
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: sign off on this episode, you know, I hope next

1046
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: week we have a little bit more of a light

1047
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 2: hearted episode.

1048
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this way, can I tell you this.

1049
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: Was very This is what people I think needed to hear.

1050
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 3: But can I tell you this episode like I didn't

1051
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 3: have anybody to talk to about COVID because I was petrified.

1052
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 3: I want to know things. I want to know what

1053
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 3: the experience was like, to be able to educate myself,

1054
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: to be able to protect you know, our our friends,

1055
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 3: our family, my kids. And so I think listening to

1056
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: him and him texting me and now hearing him, I

1057
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 3: think just gives us some real insight that this we

1058
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: got to be extra careful. We've got to you know,

1059
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: even though we're quarantine, and we just have to know

1060
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: that this could affect anybody. And I think young people

1061
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: when they get you know, arrogant in the sense, you know,

1062
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: some young people will just be stubborn and say, oh,

1063
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: I'm fine if I get it. It's like a flu.

1064
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 3: It's not like a flu. This is an unknown virus

1065
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: that attacks everybody differently and kills people. And here is

1066
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: a young man that just gave us his story, and

1067
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: it is heartbreaking I'm so glad he's on the road's recovery,

1068
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: and I promise you we will be more like next week.

1069
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: But I do think that this probably will be one

1070
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 3: of our most important episodes we'll ever do.

1071
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: I fully agree with you, so once again, I want

1072
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 2: to thank mister brad Schmidt, who you know took our

1073
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: phone call. And also I want you guys to go

1074
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 2: out there, not go out there, stay inside, slay your homes,

1075
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: and again, please stay healthy and please stay safe.

1076
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 1: We love you all very.

1077
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 2: Much and we will catch you next week for another

1078
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: episode of Give Them Mala with Randall.

1079
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 3: Be safe, everybody,
