Yeah. Go ahead. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Comedy Cellar Show here on SiriusXM Channel 99. My name is Noam Dwarman. I'm the owner of the comedy cellar I'm here in my basement in front of me on the zoom screen I see Dan Natterman Perry L. Ashton Brown without any makeup and from the west coast pete lee peter lee hi pete hey hey guys i wore my

seller shirt uh i've i didn't just wear it for the podcast but i've been wearing it all day and yesterday too because that's where we're at oh my god can you believe this is fucking happening? I, this is beyond my wildest nightmares. It's crazy. I can't even believe it. I always saved money for a rainy day and this is the rainy day. And I'm like, do I have enough? I don't know. You have enough of it depending on how long it goes. Are you getting the unemployment benefits that you're entitled to? Yeah. I just talked to my business manager today and we're doing, we're applying for...

Probably top 10, but go ahead. Yeah, that's why they're working so hard right now. They're like, we have to show our value before this guy realizes that he should give us 5% of his unemployment. Your business manager is going to be Google at this point. Yeah, right? How do I get unemployment? But go ahead. What do I do?

Actually, I just got really good news. There's a show on Comedy Central that's coming out. It's one of those fail army clip shows. And long before all this went down, auditioned for it completely forgot about it and then about 20 minutes ago i got a phone call saying that i got the part that i'm doing the fail army show voiceover a lot of on like true tv or um yeah like talk soup those kinds of things uh but like more specifically the type of clip shows where it's like clips of internet people who are like they're tripping on a rake and then getting hit in the nuts uh it's like that kind of a show and

then i'm gonna be like the bob Saget voiceover guy that goes like, Oh, you know, like a guy like he he's, he's sledding and then he falls on his face really hard. And I'm going to be the guy that goes, uh, well,

it's good that he's already icing it. Uh, so, uh, that's going to be my job for the next indefinite future. Now, is that on hold given the Corona situation or is that uh is that going to start the production that's going to start production and they even asked me they're like do you have a do you have

a zoom recorder and the same thing that i'm the skyping in or zooming in with this uh they're like do you have podcast equipment that you can lay down these tracks at home if need be? And I'm like, yeah, we can. So all that talk about the rainy day, that was just to make us feel better. Yeah. Well, I mean, as you guys know, this, this show is just a pilot and so I'm doing the pilot and then, you know, how Comedy Central, you know, they, they can pick something up or not do it. You know, we've all been through that. So hopefully they pick this up and then, you know, they can pick something up or not do it. You know, we've all been through that. So hopefully they pick this up and then, you know, it's the rainy day is over temporarily. Also, don't, isn't your girlfriend, she has a normal job that she can take the reins if needs

be, if this is indefinite? Yeah, she luckily works, she luckily works telehealth from this exact spot. So one of the delays on me jumping on the call was that she was seeing a patient via telehealth because she's a psychiatric nurse practitioner. So she was in this chair talking to a patient, you know, at 4 p.m. And as soon as she got off of the call, I had to hook up all the tech and get it together and get logged in on her computer to call her. How did she join you? It sounds interesting. No, on the show now.

Yeah, hold on. I'll, you know, Pete's a corona survivor. I wanted to get into that. Yeah, well, we both are. Let me ask her if she wants to join. I don't want to. I'm going to jump off real quick because I just don't want to yell while I'm on the podcast. Hold on.

Okay. We'll see a couple. He's so nice. He doesn't want to yell on a podcast. Good boy. Having a psychiatric nurse in the family probably comes in handy, huh? It would for you. So Pete, he is a corona survivor?

Well, yes, but it's a little more complex than that. But we'll get into that. Pete, is she coming? All right. Yeah, she's coming. So it's Dan Aderman, who you know very well. Dan, hi. Hi, guys. Hi. hi. Hi, guys.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Sit down. How are you? Hey, guys. Are there enough mics here or you'll have to share? Can you hear me?

I actually do have a second mic that I could hook up. It's okay. I'm just going to say a quick hi. Sorry, I've been talking all day. You guys had the virus? Yeah, so we had all of the symptoms of the virus. That's the crazy part of this. We had fever, chills, swollen lymph node, a dry cough that I posted online that it felt like stepping on a Lego with your lungs. It was just, it was so nasty. And then, you know, we were sick for days and with

all of the symptoms. And then I kept telling people that, because one of the symptoms is also, you know, running to the toilet and that. Loss of taste. I could not taste food for two days. That was like the beginning sign for me. Wow. And then I had a fever for four days straight that only would go away with Tylenol, but luckily it did. So that was good. Yeah, this is, I feel like I'm doing a man on the street interview right now. How do you know it wasn't a regular flu? Well, we both got swabbed for that. And also I'd had the flu vaccine. So, I mean, I don't, it didn't really feel like a flu in that I wasn't vomiting. I wasn't, it was weird. It was like, it was just body aches and pains, dry cough. I had no congestion. I lost like taste for like the first two days. And then I started having

really, I was just cold. Like all the time I could not get warm. I'd never had that. He did, but I didn't have that part. But the extreme exhaustion is what got me like, I could not get out of bed. I mean, I was anytime I I'd stand up like one time I fell down in the chair which I'm like I'm not as well let me ask you this because oh I'm sorry because the the the threat to life seems to always be uh breathing issues how how how hard was it to breathe you have one of those oxygen things were able to measure I don't feel like I, so at rest, like when I just be like sitting there, I would be fine and I wouldn't have any trouble breathing. It was only with activity that I would get tightness in my chest. But luckily I never felt any, like just sitting still problems breathing, if that makes sense. Like I just didn't have that.

Yeah. I definitely had shortness of breath. And, you know, like if I was on a phone call with a friend and they made me laugh, I'd just start coughing immediately. I couldn't even laugh a little bit without coughing. But, you know, everything that I've read. And then the, the ER doctor, cause we, we actually went to Cedar Sinai, um, to get tested. We were in one of those pandemic tents and, uh, um, I can share, I, they said not to take pictures. Of course I took pictures. I was like, come on, it's 2020. I'm taking a picture. But, um, uh, so we went there and the ER doctor basically said, you know, there's, there's a, when you get the thing, you can either, you know, your symptoms can either go up like this and get really severe to the point where you're on a ventilator or most people get it and are not, or some people get it and then they just get better very quickly.

So she said that usually there's, there's a point right here in the graph where people either rest or they don't, or they try to be a hero or, you know, the kind of person that comes into work that's like, oh, I probably shouldn't be here, but I'm pretty sick right now. They basically were saying like, that guy's dead. Like that guy's going to be on a ventilator and die. But if you really if you really rest and let your body get ahead of this that's where you're you have a better chance of having a more positive outcome yeah and you know so panic the audience the fact is is that most people have a positive outcome yeah most people have a positive outcome i've read and that's basically

all i'm doing is reading about this i'm'm kind of obsessed about it. Yeah, we've been following it for a long time. I had a flight booked to Bali with a layover in Hong Kong in May. So I've been really like following this for a while. And it's, it's, it's, I mean, like, did you see the death toll numbers today already in the US? I'm not, that I don't look at, but I read a lot of articles. Okay, we've had over 500 just today. What's the average age? Do we know the average age? No. I do know there was a girl in Spain that died two days ago that was 16 years old. She had no prior health conditions that would have made her outcome, you know,

any less than anyone else's and she had two negative tests before she finally had a third positive test but that's like from like like reliable sources i mean it's not like a lot of articles that say her mother said she had no articles where they'll say like her mother said she had no uh no pre-existing conditions which may be but you know it could be that she did have pre-existing conditions i just i don't think i don't really think there's a point in like debating that though i think it's more it should just be like we just we just take precautions for everybody from a health care perspective i don't go into a panic that's that's one point well panic is different from fear. Fear brings about healthy change, which brings about healthier behaviors that could save us as a race.

So, I mean, it is like that's evolution. That's survival. It's fear. Fears can be a good thing. Panic is very different. Yes, but even fear at a certain level is unproductive. But in any case, it's also good to know what the pre-existing conditions are so that we can really pay attention to the people that have those pre-existing conditions. Diabetes, being overweight, obviously lung issues, COPD, smoking. You know, America has a lot of diabetic overweight people. That's a very vulnerable population. Here's the punchline. you guys both tested negative for corona is that correct we did we did yeah we did and the the weird thing about it is that they say that our tests uh only had a 70 efficacy rate so there's you know 30 percent uh margin of error

and we were even told that by the doctor when they called us. So they said to, we should assume that we're positive and quarantine based upon our symptoms and then quarantine based upon that. So I, you know, it's, it feels weird to have tested negative for it. You know, like when we were feeling bad, I really didn't want to have it. You know, I was like, Oh God, I hope this is not Corona. I hope it's just something else. Um, but you know, because to qualify to get God, I hope this is not Corona. I hope it's just something else. But you know, because to qualify to get tested, we had to be tested for flu and strep. And so we knew it wasn't flu or strep. So we're like, God, I hope it's not Corona. And then as soon as we got the test results back saying that it was negative, I was like, damn it. I hope I wished it was Corona because we wanted to have antibodies and possibly immunity to it and be able to shirk

some of those fears when it comes to it so you know i having this uh this negative diagnosis uh knowing that there's a 30 chance that we may we maybe did have it we're now hopeful that we can get the antibody test that's the you know that that'd be the best case scenario is we get to do that antibody test and we have the antibodies and we had that'd be the best case scenario is we get to do that antibody test and we have the antibodies and we had it. I know, given all your experience in the restaurant business and playing guitar, would you say that Pete had Corona? You know, I don't, I honestly, I mean, it's weird timing. I know I'm never sick. I just, I'm not, I just never get sick. And it is, it was just weird. It was weird timing. Honestly, there was a part of me that I kept

telling myself, Oh, this is like a psychosomatic thing. I'm imagining myself getting sick. I mean, I work in psychiatry. I know it's possible, but I can imagine certain things. You can imagine shortness of breath, but not a a favor that's where i was like okay this is going on for four days now yeah but i i did try to convince myself that i was imagining harder to imagine okay i'm gonna share i'm gonna share my screen here i want to show you guys something so this is um i just ask a question first of all it seems so obvious that it was corona but my question is is like so after you quarantine for 14 days assuming that you did have it then what happens then are you presumed to be like immune to it or what like are you supposed to like just go out gallivanting

that's a great question i honestly i don't know if even scientists really know the answer to that because there seems to be these cases where people are getting it again, but they don't know if it's like if testing is wrong, which is totally a possibility. I think there's just so many unknowns because this is a brand new virus, you know. When will you be able, when and if will you, will you be able to get an antibody test to verify because it's still being made it's almost i can't even imagine i mean do you have any dan can i just stay here so this is interesting can you guys see that chart yeah yeah so this is uh as of march 30th and the the the last column there is the total number of deaths by age group. So for instance, 18 to 44, 54 people have died.

And the first column is underlying conditions. So of the 54 that have died in that younger age group, 39 have had underlying conditions. Two have not. And 13, they're not sure. So that's a very, very small number. We don't know, give us how many people actually have had, you know, what the, what the new, what the denominator is there, but of 75 and over, you can see it's most of the deaths, most of the people, most people have underlying conditions,

but there are a full hundred they're not sure of. And, but only three have no underlying conditions of the people 65 to 74 zero had no underlying conditions of 48 unknown so clearly it's it's two things going up at the same time it's um your age and then underlying conditions are like a whole thing i'm also so skeptical of numbers right now because I mean, we did not get our results for technically 11 days. Yeah. So there's just this part of me that I just don't trust numbers right now.

I mean, just, I'm a perfect example of that. There's a margin of error not to trust, but it's not going to be, it's not going to be off by, you know, 75% or something. I mean, I don't know. I mean, as far as LA goes, if you look at what our numbers are right now, I don't even know what they are today. I've been working, so I haven't even seen them. I just, I think you need to add like a hundred thousand to it. Not deaths, of course, but like, as far as the positive cases. That would be good news. I was refused testing twice after being in LAX and JFK airport, after having all the symptoms, after my primary

care doctor calling LA County lab and requesting for me to be tested, I was refused twice on two separate days before I was able to even, before he sent me to the ER. Okay. I'm sorry, Dave. So let me just add this to the mix for people who are following along. So here is the, this is the total number of cases. And here we see that the 18 to 44 overwhelmingly has the most cases, 42%. So if you remember that, that other one showed that the fewest deaths were in that range. Most cases by far in that range. Yeah. Most cases by far in that range. So that would indicate just how low, how much the risk is different for young people.

Yeah. I mean, they're also more active than that other age group, you know, than the higher age group. Of course, they're going to be out more. They're also probably more likely to not quarantine as heavily,

but see, that leads back to my idea of fear, bringing about change. At first, people say, oh, this is an old person disease. This is an old person problem. That's when it gets deadly. People over 65 really started listening to that and started staying at home. That could also be contributing to less deaths. I mean, change in behavior is very powerful. So I don't know. Can you believe your whole family got tested? I don't know.

Oh, wow. She had to pull. What'd you say? That's impressive. I mean, New York's been testing way more than LA has. So I think that's awesome. Yeah, we got tested. My wife just called like three or four times.

She was having five times. She was having, yeah, but she exaggerates. She was having... There's a Juanita discount that goes into any story. She was having tightness in her chest and coughing. And it scared the shit out of all of us. So she called, but when they test, they test the whole car. So we had our au pair, we had the kids and everything.

And we all came out negative, which again, I was kind of sad. Like I said, I was, I was like, well, if this is all it is, I hope it is. I hope it is. Yeah. That's what we're going through too. I mean, we're both, I mean, I'm kind of like depressed that now I have to go into a hospital this Saturday and work and I don't have immunity possibly. It sounds like the test is totally inaccurate. I deep down, that's what I feel. Obviously from a scientific point of view,

I would never say that, but like my body tells me that I experienced something very different. That was very Trump what you just did. I would never say that. I mean, you know, there's personal experience and then there's logic. You know, my brain tells me like, I know science and I know that there's the likelihood that we are negative. Yeah. Man. I love that you're like Trump.

I had millions and millions of cells, millions, millions of cells telling me that, that I had Corona. I would never say. When can you get an antibody test or can you? Is that available? I don't think they've completed those tests and making that yet. There's a rumor that they're going to be rolling them out in Colorado, I heard. But I don't know what the validity is.

I mean, what's the validity in any of this? You know, even they go on news conferences every day and say things and then CNN goes, oh yeah, that's not a thing yet. And so I don't know. I feel like we're being told things by government officials that end up being negated or there's policies that they're going, the new tax changes are going to be this. And then it turns out, well, hold on, that it's not completely flushed out yet. I applied for a small business loan today.

And, you know, so I'm like, you know, I don't know. My business managers were like, yeah, they told us that it was all set. And then when you go in there, it's just completely not set up right yet. So I don't know what to, the point behind saying all that is that I just don't know what to think about anything right yet. So I don't, I don't know what to, the point behind saying all that is that I just don't know what to think about anything right now because we're being told a lot of information and nobody really completely knows. Why do you have to go back into the hospital? I took off for three weeks. I work per diem in a psychiatric ER, an inpatient psych unit, and it's in San Bernardino, which is like a very high need

area anyways, for healthcare. I drive like an hour to get there. And I'd already called off for like two weekends in a row just to quarantine. And obviously with this, and then their shortage, and then most of our attendings are 65 and over. There's one psychiatrist who's the head and he is younger than me. And then there's one other nurse practitioner and she only works three days a week. So they're going to be very short staff soon. So I said, I'll come in and work like every weekend for April. So yeah. The comedy seller is just, is all that food getting spoiled? I bet Mark Norman's so sad.

Mark Norman's like, can I come in and eat some of the pickles? Is he here? What's the question? What did you do with all the food at the Comedy Cellar Olive Tree? I guess we threw it out. You threw away the special sauce. It's so sad. We love the wing sauce.

It's so good. You can't save that for three months. True. I will also say that there will probably be a lot of chefs out of work when this is all over. And I might be able to hire one, a good one. Yeah, yeah. Hopefully, if we ever open again, it might be a good time to get a ticket.

Don't say that. Don't say that. Yeah. I like that he said it because that just creates the demand. People are going, oh, well, there's a chance they won't. Well, I have to make sure I buy a ticket. Are you saying that just tongue-in-cheek, or you really have a feeling that that's going to happen?

That we'll never open again? No we i can't imagine never opening again because we'll open my i i worry that people will people will be so traumatized by all this they won't want to pile into a basement to see natterman tell jokes but i don't know i don't know natterman but what about Pete Lee? Pete's going to still be in New York anytime soon. Not until there's an antibody test anyway. Once we get that antibody test, if we have those antibodies,

I'm going to be flying everywhere. I'm going to be living it up with $189 flights. Germany is giving out certificates to people that have antibodies saying you can go about your business i just read that there has to be some sort of an antibody test because they're asking for plasma at sinai carry out where did you get that interesting lilt in your voice where does where did that cause that like if i go to your house for

thanksgiving does your whole family talk like that i don't know what you're talking about it's like who's on the phone oh i have no idea no you know it's perriel like it's pretty distinct i don't i really have no idea what you're talking about i was saying in germany they're giving out certificates to people. Well, remember in the 40s, they used to give you a certificate to say you were pure Aryan. Yeah. They're not doing that anymore. But they're giving you a ticket to say you have an antibody and you can go about your business.

Is the certificate a certificate or like an armband? By the Fuhrer himself. The interesting thing about Germany read a i read a an interview in der spiegel is that okay just an it and anyway it was a guy who makes ventilators one of the big companies i forget which famous company and from what i read i can send it to you later um they're never gonna catch up with the ventilators it's like a year before they can really turn out big this is a company that makes ventilators and then we think like gm is going to try to turn out ventilators like going to try to turn a you know a chevy malibu into a ventilator but and then i was also reading i think i said it today all about ventilator studies

very few people once they put you on a ventilator, they don't have much hope for you. So I think that the big ventilator issue is really that these horrible choices the doctors have to make in triage. And then of course, they do save some lives, although they don't really know that you would have not survived without the ventilator. But I think we've all been kind of led to believe that these ventilators are the key to everybody living and the more and more i've read about it it's really not it's the it's whether the virus wants you dead or not that really is the key to people living what's interesting is like i read a lot i i've been like there's a lot of uh on youtube and online interviews with people that have had coronavirus yeah and for some reason some people skate right through and other people get their ass handed to them and just beaten for like 12

days it's just it's a horrible they get fever and excruciating muscle pains and pneumonia and other people glide right through it and I'm not I haven't been able to ascertain why that is that's probably like most

flu type diseases you know I why that's probably like most flu type diseases you know very i mean that's probably not unusual that people have different degrees of response to it like sometimes my wife and i get the same you know it appears to be the same bug and she'll usually get sicker than i she usually get like bronchitis or close to pneumonia and i usually don't so have you guys ever known anyone to ever die from the flu like personally no never heard yeah me neither i know that the rates were are high but i've never known a single person to die from the flu never ever known anybody that died from the flu that gets back to something that you said earlier about these, you know, we hear the stories now of every person that just dies inexplicably with no underlying conditions.

These stories, I think, exist for the flu as well. And we're in a weird situation now, kind of like every time somebody gets kidnapped in the country now, we hear about it. So we think, oh, people are being kidnapped right and left. Like if a single person in the United States of America, a single 25-year-old dies with no underlying conditions, we're all going to read about it. And we're just not capable of processing that as an extreme outlier that it is. So we think, oh, no, 25-year-olds are a risk.

Just like, oh, no, my kids can't walk outside anymore because kids get kidnapped. But we really need all the data to really understand what that means. There's always going to be something. I know. Yeah, I mean. I'm not worried about dying from this,

but I am worried about diarrhea and nausea and muscle aches. Yeah. Yeah. I'm worried about dying. Well, it's possible. I mean, most people who get it are totally asymptomatic. So it's possible that...

No, no, no. See, where did you get that from? Most people who get it are asymptomatic. No, it's not true. It is true. It's certainly not established. Even if it's true, you're the only one that knows it. Dr. Perriel.

Is that not true? I thought that's why it was so contagious and dangerous. No, it's because before you become symptomatic, you are still contagious for several days. And then you become symptomatic. I read that 1% of people that have it are asymptomatic. 1%. Now, it could be more, but that has not been established.

But approximately most. That's not any numbers has not been established. But approximately almost. That doesn't contrast any numbers right now at all. This is new. Yeah, I'm also like that. I don't know. I also wonder with everybody staying at home, because the number one killer of people in America is diabetes and heart disease, or heart disease related stuff. The number two is car crashes. I wonder if the car crashes are down, but then with everybody stocking up on junk food, if the diabetes and heart disease deaths are up.

Oh, I just told Dan, I saw this today, but I couldn't find it just now. There's like 7,000 or 10,000 fewer deaths this week than the same week last year. Wow, interesting. Everybody's staying home doing nothing. That's so accidental. Those numbers in the end will be very

interesting to see. Besides car accidents, what other things are people not dying of? Opioid. Lightning strikes, bathroom, I don't know. Opioid deaths are extremely high. Opioid deaths are what? They're very high in our country right now.

I think they... Opioid deaths be less now than they were before. That doesn't make any sense. No, she said they're higher now, I thought. Oh, no, not higher now. I honestly don't know the rates, but I know that he was asking for one of the things that causes a lot of people to die right now.

Noam said there's less deaths this week than last year at this time. And I'm saying besides car accidents, what could account for that? Suicides. I think we're going to see a lot more suicides. People's anxiety. Oh, hi. I just said the most depressing thing ever is the most beautiful child walks in the room.

Jamie, don't finish that thought. I don't want this to be like some video that he watches. If I die now, first of all, there won't even be a funeral, right? You can't even gather for a funeral. Yeah. No one will build a funeral. A funeral. Won't have the Natterman eulogy.

And then this one especially will never remember his father. So I just – My God, why are you saying such horrible things in front of him? You're going to traumatize him. Yeah, Noam, you're ruining his apple slices. I'm kidding. What happened to you? I shouldn't say retarded. Oh, God.

He doesn't understand. How old is he? How old are you? Six. How old is he? How old are you? Six. How old? Six. Six. He's two. You're two. You know how old you are. He's two.

He's already, oh my god, he's already breaking. This whole thing is he's not even perceiving it. Yeah, he won't remember it. No, he won't remember it. No, he won't remember it. But the other kids will. Did you guys see the movie Life is Beautiful?

Yes. Yeah, with the Italian Bernini. He's in a concentration camp with his kid and he convinces his kid that it's actually a game that they're playing and the kid's having the time of his life in the concentration camp. That's my kids.

They don't understand. They just think this is awesome fun. That movie never made any sense to me because you're starving i mean when kid is hungry i remember when i was a kid nobody was gonna convince me that i wasn't hungry dan i have a question for you how many tiny water bottles do you have at your house right now? You know, I do have a lot of bottled water because I prefer to drink bottled water. No, I'm in Perrielle. We, we almost,

my wife is, this is no makeup. No, no. Gorgeous. This is what she looks like when she lets herself go. No, no. Gorgeous. Hi. Hi. Let us know. Hi. Hi. This is what she looks like when she lets herself go. Yeah. She is very beautiful, babe. She means nothing to me. Now, I'm glad to hear that even after all these years,

you still find your wife beautiful. What'd you say, Dan? I said after all these years, you still find Juanita beautiful. That's good to see. Take the baby. Yeah. I love that Dan said that and then we all just left him hanging. She's almost gone.

I mean, the comedy cellar, the building, the physical plant itself. Yeah. Is anybody paying attention to it? Yeah. Liz is around. Tony lives in the building. Tony's like the Mexican dude, our day guy. And Tony's worked for us like, how long?

Almost 30 years now. Wow. And Ava lives in the building. So yeah, the building is occupied. Is there anything that has to be done to the space to maintain it? Or it just kind of just leave it? No, but I am worried in my own home too.

Like I'm worried about if the sewer trap backs up or like anything where you need a repair guy or I'm also really worried about the kids cutting their fingers and needing stitches, like things, like especially now, the weather's gonna break, they're gonna go outside and running around. What if one of them sprains an ankle or breaks a leg

and has to go to the hospital and then we get the virus there? So it's enough to make you crazy. Yeah. Yeah, that is a very real thing. We were, we just went for a drive because that was the only thing that we could do you know we're in this contained automobile and i was like jamie drive safe because remember if we crash this car uh nobody can help us right now all the beds are

occupied you know you gotta be really careful and there's gonna be stories of people who died that way. Isn't that what that ship was? Isn't that what the U.S. whatever comfort is for? Isn't that for non-corona people? In L.A., I know for sure it is. Not everyone's going to be turned away, but they're going to be less available for you. And I know that people that have heard stories people going to the calling up the doctor saying i i i i i can't breathe i um i can't move i i can barely stand up and the doctor's like hey call us back you know when you're turning blue because we can't

help you no you know you know jeffrey gurian has does? Yeah, and he was in the hospital. Oh, no. And they sent him home today with hydroxychloroquine. The Trump drug. The Trump drug. The Trump drug. They're giving it out in New York now. I guess they feel, as Trump says, what the hell you got to lose, right?

So they're giving it out. It would be wonderful if it actually did work, out in new york now i guess they feel as trump says what the hell you got to lose right so they they're giving it out uh it would be wonderful if it actually did work although the latest data is less encouraging than the first stuff we heard yeah i mean i i knew people when that information first came out that we're going out to buy tonic water because apparently tonic water has traces of that in it and there was a doctor on the news yesterday, an emergency room doctor, and asked him, how come you haven't gotten it? He says, I don't know, but I've been taking the hydrochloric one,

so he thinks maybe that's kept him healthy. Well, the guy in France is using it at the first sign. In other words, he's not waiting for it to go all the way to the lungs. And he said, look, did the French do Dr. Rualt or something? And he has really long hair, and he said the guys i don't know if you know this did the french dude dr rualt or something and he like has really long hair and he looks kind of crazy oh yeah the guy that looks like uh like the guy from stranger like the doctor from stranger things or the scientist from yeah i know what you're talking about yeah so he said that you got to give it right away because once it gets the lungs it maybe too that it works better when you when you get it right away well it's a tamiflu tamiflu is the same way right you have to take it gets to the lungs, it works better when you get it right away.

Tammy flu is the same way, right? You have to take it right in the beginning. So a lot of drugs are like that. At some point, it can't overcome the depth of the disease. Yeah, I read something where what the virus does in the lungs is it actually creates scar tissue as it replicates and takes, starts to take over the lung. So fibroids, yeah. So you actually have less surface area to, you know, to receive oxygen and ingest it

into your body. And that, that's probably one of the reasons why you got to catch it early or, you know, get ahead of it early. Yeah. I don't know. Do they know about Michael Yeo? Oh yeah. Mike comedian, Michael Yeo. Um, he just released an Instagram video saying that he was in the hospital for eight days and, um, it's a healthy guy. He's a very healthy guy. Very in shape. Um, yeah, he, he released a video today. It was, you know, he's

crying in it. He talks about how as soon as you go into the hospital, they tell you you might never see your family again. And everybody that he's in there with is in the same case where they're just told that the reality is that as soon as you get admitted, you could die alone. What are you supposed to do with that information? I think it's just to prepare you so that way people don't panic when they can't call their family because you need

as much oxygen as possible so if you already know that then you don't panic when things go i just not bring it up at all i believe in telling people yeah beforehand there's a theory that um you know the more information, the better immediately because then people know what to expect. I don't know. He's out and he's at home and he's with his family and that's the silver lining to the whole thing.

You may never see your family again and by the way, you were adopted. You want to make sure you get it all out there before you go. Sorry. I'm trying to look this guy up. I don't know, Michael. How do you spell yo? Yo. Y-O. Yeah. I watched that video. It's pretty intense. It's pretty touching. we were joking around afterwards

that the video was so good that i was like he just won the coronavirus like he won he's this this video is gonna be everywhere um he already is i think he's on that show access hollywood right now and um there's not a media outlet that's not gonna pick up that that video it was so uh it it was it just touched your heart he's a handsome dude michael yo yeah michael yo it's on instagram instagram uh michael yo instagram uh and uh well i don't i don't know how to wait let me just say is this him um is that him that's him yeah that's the video on the left yeah this one right here yeah that used to be on chelsea lately too right he's on chelsea lately he's a he's a good friend of mine we you know in la he's again and your show didn't get picked up on comedy central uh select uh okay let's see

can you hear that it's me yep i want to say thank you not good for the audience everyone for all the thoughts and prayers um i'm at home now self self-quarantined. Was at the hospital for eight days. A lot of people asked me what happened. So basically, I went to the hospital. I had pneumonia and corona at the same time, which you know if you're watching the news, that's.

That's the deadly. That's the deadly combo right there. So, man, it was scary. You know, like when I checked in, the doctor said this is going to go good fast. So this is going to go really bad fast. And, you know, they let you know right away. When you check in, you're not going to see your family. So no matter what happens, you're not seeing your family because they don't have enough equipment.

And it's just too contagious. So, you know, it was a rough couple nights, but made it through. Handsome dude, right? Handsome dude, yeah. Shall I let him keep playing? Shall I let him keep playing? I think we get the idea. Dan.

Pardon? Oh, I didn't mean it, Dan. I meant it. Yeah, yeah. Appreciate all the... Dan gave him the light. Dan gave him the light on his Corona video. You know, while I'm in the hospital getting better,

I was looking at... Yeah, yeah, we get the idea. Hold on, I want to hear the rest. I want to hear the rest. Ring camp. I saw a bunch of friends drop off stuff at the house for my family and that meant so much

it meant so much um to all my comedian friends for reaching out not you Dan no Dan I mean, rona jokes well there's a lot of videos you could play no

I literally spit up blood And then I was like yo That's what's up We gotta keep laughing No matter how bad it gets We gotta keep laughing Look I made it through so far It's all good

But Just want you to know The people that are dying in the hospital, man. I don't care what you're reading. I was in there around people like that and, uh, dying alone. They don't have family in there, man. They can't.

And you hear stories where nurses are surrounded and the nurses in the They don't have family in there, man. They can't. And you hear stories where nurses are surrounded, and the nurses and the first responders, man, you guys are amazing. You're risking your life for us, you know, but I'm reading all these stories. I'm seeing all these stories of people dying. And I know when I was in there, they were like, yo, it goes bad. You're not going to see anybody. You know, so just remember those people.

You know, I made it, you know. But we need to shift the attention to the people that need the help and gotta die alone. Please stay safe. And thank you for all the support. Appreciate you. But not Dan. But not Dan.

The whole time I kept trying to fight off laughing because I was thinking that Dan was going to interrupt me going, no. Anyone's welcome to watch the videos after I just. Let's play another video then. This is like the time he said you were somewhat of a friend at the cellar we were doing our snuggle storm podcast at the cellar vegas we um uh we like to do it in the green room there with all the comics so like one comic will leave and go on stage and then another comic will come in and dan was uh i was like you know, you're my friend. He goes, I wouldn't say you're my friend.

We're acquaintances. We're colleagues. And I was like, well, we've gone to Aruba several times. Well, it was a work trip. And, you know, friendship is a whole thing. It's a whole different category. If you called me on my birthday, maybe we're friends. And I felt so hurt by that.

I don't remember precisely the conversation and it sounds exactly like you quite as brutal as that i think i was trying to make a distinction between degrees of friendship and that that pete and i i said that pete and I only see each other in work-related context, but I allowed for the possibility of moving things forward. And I mentioned that I was open to that. If he would like to take things in that direction, I'm open to it. But I did say that, at least as of now, we are work friends for the time being.

Yeah. Let's get some jackets and wear them that say work friends. We went out to dinner after that at this Italian restaurant in Vegas. And Dan felt so bad that I made a big deal about it that he's like, I remember towards the end of dinner, he's like, I remember towards the end of dinner he's like, you're my friend. As I said, I was hoping you might pick up the check. Nothing is written

in stone, you know, things evolve. If it's any consolation, every time I try to have a conversation with Dan, he's like wait for the podcast. He's right about that. He's right about that. He's right about that. Because sometimes we find ourselves

having really interesting conversations in the waiting room before this starts. And then when you try to do it again, we're faking it, you know? Mm-hmm. In regard to that last video, I think it needs to be said that most people are surviving this,

and most people are healing at home without going to the hospital. And even of those people that go to the hospital, most people are surviving. So I think that needs to be said, because I think some people may not realize that, and they think it lights out's you know it's lights out because you said you know in the video he said oh i got corona and i got pneumonia and that's the deadly combination i'm not sure that that's percentage wise how deadly that is it's i think it's a majority of people even with pneumonia yeah dan's comment dan Dan's going to go on Michael's and comment, Michael's post and comment, dime a dozen. I have no doubt that Michael suffered greatly,

but I don't want people to get the impression that this is the typical, you know, thing that happens when you get this virus. At least from what I've read, that's not the case. Yeah. What do you guys think about this thing? It's old news already, but I still think it's interesting. This is Gal Gadot. Oh, it was so cringeworthy.

Yikes. Well, it starts off with her, which she's... The intro is where it really is bad. Imagine there's... I got it wrong. Imagine there's no heaven. This whole thing, hi, everybody. It's easy if you try. because that's the part she was getting such abuse for for the for that very first part where it was her yeah yeah it's so fucking ridiculous gnome can you look at what I just sent you and pull that up, please? You sent me,

Periel, please join Zoom me. I was waiting for that email just to be like, Pornhub, Pornhub, Pornhub. I just texted you on the Zoom chat. Say it again. What'd you send me? I don't see a recent email. On Zoom chat, I just sent you a message. On Zoom chat. Yeah. Oh, I just sent you a message. On Zoom chat?

Yeah. I have to stop saving my screen. I'm not sharing my screen anymore. Sorry. On Zoom chat, it says, can you pull up? Nobody wants to hear this Jew stuff, really? Yes, it's important. Oh, my gosh.

I watched Unorthodox. It's so good. Oh, my God. I almost watched that, but i've started watching tiger king instead watch tiger king first and then save that one for a second it's it's kind of depressing but don't fuck with cats did you see that yeah that was that was intense i loved her crime so i loved it okay perry i'll hear here it is i don't know what you want me to do with this. I want you to pull up the GoFundMe. Yes. Okay. This is very important. She is, her doc,

her brother is a doctor on the front lines fighting COVID in New York at my modernist hospital. And she's a quite famous handbag designer who is now importing protective gear and shipping it to hospitals across the United States. Wow. Okay, so who's this? Is it GoFundMe? Yeah. Is money the problem with regard to this equipment? It's lack of equipment. And from what the doctors are saying, they're getting it too slowly and not in large enough quantity. Is money the issue there? You say you're raising money for this. Is money the issue?

Or is the fact that you can't snap your fingers and produce hundreds of thousands of masks? I don't know. I just know that they don't have them. All right. Well, we know they don't have them. I'm just wondering whether a GoFundMe is the... Well, yeah, because she's talking directly

to the hospitals and the doctors and she's getting, they're dropping off from 10 to 10,000 masks, goggles. I don't understand. This makes no sense whatsoever. I'm sorry I put this up here. Don't say that. It's amazing.

Hospitals buy their own fucking masks. No, they don't. All of the hospitals in New York City are short on equipment. Right, but not because they don't have the money to buy them, because they have trouble buying them. They can buy them from these people. They don't need my money to buy them their masks. What do you mean?

What do I mean? But wait, is this handbag designer, is she or he, whoever it was, are they going to start making them in their own factory? No, no, no, no. I want to hear Noam continue to berate Perrielle. I don't know what you're talking about.

She's doing something amazing. I'm saying is that if they have masks for $10 a pop over here. Masks aren't $10 a pop. Protective gear. It says every $10 secures one set of protective gear, which includes N95 masks, face shield, goggles, and gloves. Fine. Now, why doesn't the hospital pay these people to get the protective gear?

Why do they need my $10? Why does New York Presbyterian need my $10 to give to these people for a GoFundMe? Why can't they just pick up the phone, here's 35 grand, give me 350 masks? Well, I don't know. Maybe they're doing that also. I don't understand why they would need charity for this to buy masks for hospitals. I mean, I just think that they don't have the equipment. I'm setting up a GoFundMe for Chase Bank so that they can get masks. Because I don't know if Chase Bank has any money. Now listen, to be fair, I don't want to badmouth anything.

It might be all very noble. It is very noble. They might want to explain why we're donating to buy masks. I guess where are they procuring these masks from? Or is there an increased production somehow by giving someone more money? That's what I would like to know. Whatever it is, the money. Do you want an answer? Because I can answer you. Yeah. Yeah, please. First, let to know. Whatever it is, the money... Do you want an answer? Because I can answer you.

Yeah. Yeah, please. First, let me rant. Whatever it is... No, because you're taking credit from something amazing. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, God. First of all, they're trying to raise $250,000. That

is a drop of water for the federal government. It doesn't make any sense, but go ahead. Go ahead. There's so much red tape. I mean, are you disputing the fact that these hospital workers, doctors and nurses are short on equipment? Does it sound like I was disputing that? I don't know. I don't know what you're, what, what you're pissed off about. It's like the red tape.

I'm asking why it is that they would have to get such a circuitous route if they have masks available. Why can't they sell them directly to the hospital? Why do they need a go- But you know what? This sounds like, well, if we don't donate, I guess they're just going to throw the masks out.

Nobody's going to buy them. No, that's not what it sounds like at all. That's not what it sounds like at all that's not what it sounds like so if they don't raise the money what'll happen it's not if they every time money's raised she buys so like lennox hill will say we need you know get her on the podcast let's ask her about it fine i i will because you're probably right i'm probably being I am right. I'm 100% right. And what she's doing is fucking amazing. And I'll get her on the next show.

That's a good idea. I mean, she's doing more than I'm doing. It sounds to me like I agree with Noam. I mean, Jesus Christ. They're not short on equipment because they don't have the money. No, but it's all the red tape.

She says, I got 2 million pieces. We need a stock and ready to ship. It is government approved and hospitals around the country have already agreed to accept it. They'll accept it, but they won't buy it. They need us to buy it for them. I think it's a question of logistics and how slow everything is. Is my guess.

Yeah. I mean, maybe. I love how he went from like 10 to 1. Maybe. Well, you know, last week when we had what was his name, the virologist? I don't want to say his name wrong.

Dr. Pillai. Dr. Pillai. He was a fantastic guest. I would invite everybody to listen to that podcast. And he really knew his shit. But we were talking about the masks. And I said, if I was the federal government, I would be very careful to give them to the hospitals

until I was sure they needed them because they'll all disappear. And he was offended by that. And so I backed off. But then today there were stories about stuff disappearing supplies disappearing and then i'm like well they they they keep uh drugs under lock and key oh no stories about the actual hydro hydroxychloroquine disappearing yeah yeah so so it's like there's always this like thing you you can't say certain things. I couldn't say to him that doctors and nurses might have the nerve to steal masks

to give to their loved ones. But doctors are like everybody else. Nurses are like everybody else. And- I love how you couldn't say that to him, but you can say it now and he's just gonna watch this. Well, to be honest, I got taken aback when he resisted. I thought, and then I, so I backed off.

And then since then I was thinking about it. And then I thought about how the fact that they lock certain things up in the hospital and human nature. And then today I heard the story about the drugs disappearing. Yeah. And I'm like, well, of course it doesn't,

I'm not saying anything bad about doctors. This is human beings. If you just leave a bunch of masks around right now, when these can save lives, you need to keep them under lock and key. You need to have numbered and logged in a book and distributed one at a time with a log of how many hours they've been used.

So it's efficient. That's what a grownup understands about how human nature is and how you have to guard these things. So anyway, I'm on a rant, another one, but it's just, I don't know what this is, but it seems to me that it just seems to be weird that

we're going to give money to the podcast. It's not weird at all. It gives me a creepy feeling. I wish that behind Nome, instead of music equipment, it was just boxes of masks and gloves. I shouldn't have said creepy feeling. I don't know anything about...

You know her? Is that a man? I do know her. You know her personally? I do know her personally. So have you seen any change in her lifestyle? What she's doing is amazing. I mean, she's doing it out of just...

Get her on the show. Listen, I feel terrible. Like, if she's watching this... She's definitely going to be. No, no. Please don't let her watch. Because she's going to be furious. She's going to be furious.

And I don't... No, it'll be great because she's going... She's going to show people that what she's doing is amazing. No, you can bring her around. But assuming that she is doing something good, and it probably is a good reason, I don't want to... I don't want to do anything to discourage anybody from doing it. But it would be good.

This is what you should do. You should ask her on the site here to put a little explanation of why it is. Say, you might be wondering why the hospitals can't buy these masks directly. Here's the reason. That's constructive. It took me a while, but I got would be that's constructive yeah it took me a while but i got there yeah that's constructive that makes total sense i'm just imagining her coming on the the podcast and dan going so are you a fraud

i thought everybody's watching this online to see Dan's face There's no Nothing to indicate in my past That I would do that sort of thing No We have to go Well we started a bit late I just wanted to mention we talk about people on the front lines

And I was shopping last night For Groceries And you see these people that are working at the grocery store and i'm afraid to go to the grocery store but i go because i need groceries and there are people working there for whatever they're getting paid and they're at much higher risk and like it's like we live in this you know people bagging bagging uh groceries that's like the go-to make fun of job uh-huh well you better study you're gonna want a bagging groceries, that's like the go-to make-fun-a job.

You better study, you're going to want to bag in groceries. That's like the go-to stereotypical job that you make fun of. And yet these people are now like heroes almost. You remember when that guy from the Cosby show, they found out that he was bagging food at Trader Joe's or whatever, and then they just murdered him online now he's a hero yeah yeah i think you're absolutely right and um i was thinking about that too these delivery people and everything and then you know there was this

thing that that lindsey graham and those guys got a lot of heat for it's interesting they were like competing editorials in the times in Wall Street Journal but he was concerned that if they give if they pay out higher rates and unemployment benefits then people are getting to do these jobs at that point people say fuck it I'm just I'm just gonna stay home and then we won't have anybody to do those low-paying jobs so I was wondering if since now that these they're competing with whatever it is, five or six hundred dollars unemployment benefits, maybe the supermarkets are paying these people much more than they used they used to get. I hope they are. I know the hospitals are. Right. I don't mean to toot my

own horn. And I guess you could argue that the best charity is is is discreet but i gave five dollars to the uh woman that uh the cashier last night at the grocery store that's quite a maybe my generosity could uh bringing personal glory to me might also encourage others to do likewise and it's not because she didn't have singles, right? You didn't intend to. I took my change and I said, I said, this is for you. And she was very, she looked at me like it's never happened before.

From you. Anyway. I had to sort through so many 20s in my pocket before I found that five and I gave it to her. I have some ICU friends that have been offered like 10,000 a week. I would just say that,

that, you know, maybe others could consider doing likewise. Yeah, we tip big when we get online deliveries now, but the grocery people, they just leave it at our door. And I don't know. Maybe we should leave a good idea. Maybe we should leave like a little envelope for them.

That's what I do. I leave an envelope taped to the door. Yeah, we have we have one of those water coolers and there's this company called Sparklets that delivers our water out here. And the guy came today and you could I met him downstairs and you could just see on his face that he's like, I don't want contact with you. I don't like that you came down here. And he brought the water all the way up to our doorstep in our apartment complex. And I just gave him $20 that I had sitting on the night on the little stand, the key stand. And he looked at me like, when I die, maybe this is enough. $20, Dan, you hear that? Yeah, I'm not trying. It was $130 total bill. What is the appropriate?

What is a non-insulting thing that I should have given her? 10 bucks. Appropriate. Pardon? pardon well 10 10 but anything below 10 is a weird tip but um i don't know then no no you're right because like in a parking garage the bill can be very high but you still give like two three dollars you don't you don't pick you don't tip on percentage on a parking garage so i don't know i don't know i think it was generous that you gave the five dollars i just wanted to give you a good-hearted ribbing over it but it was a rubin dollars but um yeah by the way have you guys seen aruba ray's video speaking of aruba of him like

he's like in bed but then he's got spray paint behind him on the wall i was disturbed by it and i made i made it known that i was disturbed by it yeah where is he i don't know that looked like a hostage video i call corona right an interesting guy i think i like corona ray that's a good one, Dan. He's like a wacky neighbor on a sitcom. Well, he's going to be joining us, Noam, on the next episode.

Yeah, he's going to be coming on our next show. Please have him explain where he is and what he's doing. Can I show that? What do I look up, Dan? Just his Instagram or Facebook. It may be in stories. It might have been in stories. I think I saw it on his Instagram feed today. I think that he posted on Facebook a few days ago on the Today show. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here it is. Share screen. There should be a keyboard shortcut for sharing. Anyway. I just woke up. I had a great dream that the phrase social distancing didn't exist anymore. That people just called it staying the fuck away from each other. I'm in a meth den.

Just hold on. I'm in a meth den just hold up he's definitely not social distancing from anyone right now I had my first corona dream last night where I was in a cab and the guy's driving the cab and he goes it's the craziest thing man I tested positive and I have no symptoms

and he was driving the cab and I was trying to go like this lean against the door to keep 6 feet away from him in the cab and I have no symptoms. And he was driving. And I was trying to go like this, like lean against the door to keep six feet away from him in the cab. And he kept turning around to talk to me and not watching the road. And, you know, that was anyway. Did you tip him? I don't mean that. That was a dream before we got to the destination.

But I just think it's interesting that Corona, it took a week, it took several weeks, but Corona has now entered my dream life. Yeah. It's an anxiety dream. That's all I do is anxiety. Most of my dreams are anxiety dreams, but they have not involved Corona up until now.

Can I tell you a personal thing about anxiety? I haven't told very many people, but so I have general anxiety disorder and I've taken little spot treatments of, you know, Klonopin and propranolol in the past. And right before all of this happened, I decided to go on Zoloft, which is an antidepressant that has anti-anxiety qualities. And I've never felt better.

It's the worst time in the history of the world since I've been alive. And I have so much serotonin in my brain that I'm like, I feel good. Well, also, first of all, you're in a great position right now. You probably have corona antibodies. Yeah, probably.

And I have all the zoloft antibodies girlfriend uh i don't know what you as a girlfriend of corona antibodies but both are good things yeah your career's going good you just booked the comedy central show despite the fact that the world seems to be crashing around down around you you know your future other than that and it looks pretty good I think you have every reason to be happy. And hey, what's the, you know, you're at your home, but you're home in a nice place. I mean, it looks like a nice apartment. You got a plant there, you know. I don't want myself. But, you know, I mean, look, World War II happened, the Spanish flu happened, Vietnam happened,

things happen and life goes on. It's going to go on after this. Yeah, we are very fortunate, just all of us in general. I mean, think about what people, you know, were doing. They were getting, you know, poisoning from Agent Orange and Napalm, you know, in Nam. And we're like, oh my God, I watched Tiger King and it killed a half a day. You know, like we're very, we're all very fortunate. And you, you know, and you probably had Corona already and beat it. And even if you have it, you're young and healthy and probably would beat it if you got it so yeah and i have all this zoloft but i you know i'm not like i'm not more depressed than usual i think you seem like you're handling it very well dan i'm impressed anxiety depending on the last article i read

gotcha the last set that i had that i kill and that determined my mood but now my mood is determined by the last article i read last article i read is about a 17-year-old dying of corona. I'm anxious. And the last article I read was they think hydroxychloroquine works, that I'm less anxious. So it just depends on the last thing I read. Yeah, aren't both your parents still alive? They are.

Yeah, they're in lockdown, though, in Connecticut. I haven't seen them in a few weeks. How are they getting food, supplies, whatever they need? haven't seen them in a few weeks. How are they, how are they getting food supplies, whatever they need? They're in a retirement, you know, community. They, they get, they deliver the people that work there deliver. There's a kitchen and they deliver it. They're not allowed to go to the dining room though. And even the dining room, they can't do much. They can,

they can take walks or whatever. I really don't know the protocol, but we're not allowed to go. You call them every day? Every other day, you know, every other day. Do they have Zoom capabilities or smartphones? I don't know how to use them. Your father didn't know how to use Zoom. Yeah, they're not good with the technology.

Don't tell your mom you gave that $5. She'll give you an earful. All right, can we wrap it up? dan before we go on this show deserves to be seen and for some reason the person in charge of the comedy seller um yeah i'm gonna see her right now on the next show and i'm gonna tell her yeah there's something weird going on there it Something like you or something?
