But I'm going to tell 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.160 you a lat I've never been affected by this. I mean, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.440 I'm sorry, let me rewind that I've never been affected. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.680 Like yeah, it's almost like a bad dream. Every day 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.240 you wake up and you want like, you know me, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.920 I'm an optimist, so I wake up and I'm like, 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.039 let's attack, let's crush the day. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.720 Let's you know, yeah, I take over the world, right, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:30.720 you have a lot of energy. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.080 I do, but but it's wearing, and it's emotional, and 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.800 it's it's every day I'm fighting with myself, you know, 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.120 to try to stay positive and listen to friends and 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.160 and and just you know, be optimistic. You know, in 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.360 a time that's not easy to be optimistic in. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.440 You know what is so crazy though, Like I'm antisocial. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.400 Everyone knows that, Like this quarantine. It's like I wasn't 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.760 socializing with people before this, you know, like it takes 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.680 a lot to just get me out of my house. No. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.000 The only way you get out of the house, by 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.240 the way, let's just be clear so people know is 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.120 if there's. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.840 A job, a job yet. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.919 Or for a family member other than that. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.639 And for the gym, which you always go to the gym, right, 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.120 So for me, that's where like for me going to 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.960 the gym. The reason why I pay for a trainer 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.280 is because I will not work out otherwise. I haven't 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.680 worked out while we've been quarantined, not that a. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.280 Day, nothing, not even no nothing. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.880 I have a trainer for that reason because I'm held accountable. 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.040 I get up, I go to the gym in the morning. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:32.520 You're paying, I'm paying. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.560 That's so it's like that's an incentive. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.920 Of course, you're somebody. If you lose five dollars, you. 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.560 Go, I go and say. And so for me, the 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.880 workout in the morning is what the driving force of 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.760 my day. It's like, once I get that done, it's like, 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.840 oh my gosh, I can't wait to go do this, 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:48.240 do that. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.400 Yeah, because you know what I notice, And obviously I 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.800 took it all for granted, but I mean just life, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.600 you know. Yeah, But I remember I go to the 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.080 office at like nine am, right, and then you'd call me. 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.480 Always abound between eight and ten, you were like no 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.760 one could talk to you. It was like, angry, get 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.760 the coffee. I'm going to the gym, the coffee. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:05.320 Go to the gym. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.919 Don't talk to me until it's finished. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.120 By eleven thirty, you'd call me with that, Hey, what 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.080 are we doing today? Or I'm coming by the office. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.960 We got to do this. And I noticed that, and 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.480 now we don't have that kick for you. And also 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.440 I don't have that kick at the top of the day, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.400 and I think I'm thinking about everybody, Like lots of 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.720 friends of mine I've talked to, they don't have that kit. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.120 There's nowhere to find it. Because all we're hoping is 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.760 can we go back to our normal lives? And also 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.080 we don't want to die. So these are two things 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.080 that I don't think we ever thought we'd have to 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.760 face as a as a world, as a as the universe. Right, 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.520 It's like, it's not like you I'm trying to put 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.880 these in words. It's not like you. You have a 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.800 friend who's sick, and you go to the hospital and 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.800 you want you pray for them, and you want them 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.720 to get better, right, and you go back to your 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.360 office and you try to go on with your day. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.440 But everybody's in the same boat. Everybody's hoping that they 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.440 stay healthy. And everybody's quarantined to their house, so their 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.520 apartment or we're our friend's house. So I just feel 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.680 like we're all in this zombie likesf. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:07.720 That's exactly how I feel. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.440 And I'm going to be I'm going to fill you 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:11.960 guys in on something right now. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.720 I'm a conspiracy theorist. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.800 Oh god, I think that this is a way for 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.320 the government to gain control of the human race, and 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.279 it's gone very badly. And I will well in my 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.440 mind it's gone bad for someone very high up. It 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.640 could be this is exactly what they were hoping for. 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:38.920 The reason that I conformed is because COVID nineteen is 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.440 taking people's lives. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.560 So I do stay in my house. 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.520 Yes, I do stay in my house because God forbid 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.840 I catch it, and even more, God forbid I give 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.200 it to someone who's older if I were to have it, 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:51.960 which I do not. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:53.839 But I believe. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.680 I'm sorry, something's going on. Something is going on. And 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.400 Randall is totally He's like, you're crazy, lot. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.560 I'm sitting I'm sitting two feet from you.

You're my partner and I love you. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.680 If you believe this is conspiracy, then I have to 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.080 let you believe that. And I've read articles where people 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.760 believe that. Here's what I believe. I believe that some 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.960 idiot far away I ate some fucking animal that they 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.880 shouldn't have been fucking eating. And all the scientists are saying, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.520 and medical specialists that this was like the perfect storm, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.279 like it took the virus into this person in China 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.600 and manifested itself perfectly and then was able to mutate 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.960 going to other people, and here we are with a 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.000 worldwide pandemic. All I'm going to say is this sucks. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.440 I don't give a shit. I've woken up every day, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.279 you know me a lot.

They don't belong in there. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.960 I agree with you, and I always stand by your cause. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.120 But then we have these fuckers that go out like 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.680 the guy that owns Jimmy Johns and he's out fucking 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.720 pop being these beautiful animals for sport, you know, like 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:09.160 trophy hunting. Again, these people exist on our planet and 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.199 it it's terrifying. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:16.360 People don't know your obsession and passion for animal rights. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.160 I mean, when we go to Las Vegas, you will 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.640 not stay at certain hotels. We're not gonna mention it. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.720 So don't do that, all. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.400 Right, But you guys know which hotels. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.600 She just won't stay at hotels where there's any animals 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.200 kept in captivity, so no.

Went to the doctor, 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.640 they couldn't get a test, went home, gave him some medication. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.080 He got worse, worse, to the point where he told 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.840 me he thought he was breathing shards of glass. Wow. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.760 And fast forward. Finally his doctor said, on day six, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.000 it was so bad, he said, you need to walk 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.400 yourself into the emergency room to get a test.

They tested him, they 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.959 came back positive, and basically I think he was basically 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.639 fighting for his life to get stabilized. And he just 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.560 got released yesterday or the day before, and we're going 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.320 to have him call in and we're going to I 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.840 really am excited about this because I want people to 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.280 know and hear from somebody that's in your age group, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.000 and that's you know, younger than me, but was perfectly 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.040 healthy and here was fighting for his life.
