Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- I spoke to someone not to be mentioned in Florida.
And we did a thing live on zoom and he's like, ah, how you doing?
He goes, 'Oh, Florida is great.'
We're back to normal.
Well, none of us live in the hoax.
I'm like, excuse me, the hoax, this is two weeks ago.
I'm like what Hoax?
'You know, the COVID-19 thing we're fine.'
I'm like, I literally, like, I can't believe a smart, intelligent human being in this country still actually is listening to those types of theories.
That it's a hoax.
And I I'm like, you can tell my mother-in-law who's now in heaven who died on December 23rd, at 95 nursing home one of four people that got sick, she died a week later.
- Jesus.
- You're going to tell me that was a hoax because she's dead and that's not a hoax.
- No, hoaxes cannot kill people.
I'm sorry for your loss chef.
This is, yeah, everyone's got a story, right?
Everyone's got a family member.
- It's the worst.
It's just the dying alone was so painful because you really, you, you want to be with your family.
You know, she's my wife is one of six kids, the one saving grace.
And thank God for cell phones is we did have at one time when she was on her death bed, as you know the last thing you lose is hearing, right?
So you can hear people still speak.
We had the 18 family members, all grandchildren all of us were on a call with Nana at one time.
And I believe how energy works.
So she could feel the energy of the whole family.
Jesus Christ.
Just tell him, telling him, sorry, telling her how much we loved her and about fa fam family love.
And she could, she could kind of grunt and be like, Hmm.
Uh.
So we knew she heard us.
And that really was special because she could feel the family love before she passed.
And honestly, if it was normal times we wouldn't have gotten all 18 of the Talbots together in her, in her hospital room.
Right.
So that was incredibly powerful to have everyone telling her.
Thank you, thank you for the family love.
And, but I mean, I don't, you don't none of us want to die alone.
It's just, I can't think of, I can't think of anything more just more horrific to be honest.
And, but she did hear how much we loved her and how much we thanked her for everything she and Dakki did for us.
And, and this, this has happened 500,000 times, right?
This isn't my story.
This is the world's story.
So, yeah.
Jesus Christ guys, whoever thinks this is a hoax.
Just talk to anyone that lost someone there's, this is not a hoax.
