Speaker 1: Lizzo needs to send Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas a
Speaker 1: fruit basket. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas need to send
Speaker 1: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher a muffin basket. Melakunis and
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher need to send Drew Barrymore a caviar basket.
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore needs to send myself and Shannon Badour o
Speaker 1: Maha Steak of the Month club because each time a
Speaker 1: new celebrity gets in trouble or there's something to talk about,
Speaker 1: the previous ones get a fucking relaxing ride like they
Speaker 1: were just like, oh my god, thank God. It's like
Speaker 1: there's a new carcass to go get ripped apart. The
Speaker 1: maggots have gone over to a new carcass. So who
Speaker 1: will be next? Oh, well, Russell brand is next. That's
Speaker 1: a serious, very very serious offense. Jimmy Fallon needs to
Speaker 1: send all of us, all of us an edible arrangement
Speaker 1: made of precious gemstones, because all of us made his
Speaker 1: scandal really nearly invisible. And Andy Cohen and Bravo also
Speaker 1: should send all of us a bakery basket. But I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna come around the bend. From what I understand,
Speaker 1: there's more common that way. So I don't think they
Speaker 1: should start writing their Christmas cards just yet. And everyone
Speaker 1: I just mentioned needs to send Taylor Swift and Travis
Speaker 1: Kelcey the Lobster and the Caviar are the month club
Speaker 1: close the carnival, shut the rides. The prize has been
Speaker 1: given out. Game over Mike dropped story in film at eleven.
Speaker 1: Not only has the entire entertainment industry, the music industry,
Speaker 1: the media and branding industry closed for the day, the
Speaker 1: NFL is basically changing its name to the National Fan League,
Speaker 1: that is National Taylors Swift Fan League. It's over. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's got to be the goat. She's the Tom Brady
Speaker 1: of music of girlfriends. I heard Paul, my fiance said
Speaker 1: he was on Watch What Happens Live with Ramona and
Speaker 1: then he used to be on a dating show talking
Speaker 1: about fallen upstairs, talk about stocks soaring. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think Taylor Swift has spiked this guy, Travis Kelsey stock,
Speaker 1: more than Kim Kardashian spiked Chris Humphrey stock. I know
Speaker 1: it's going to be controversial because men and women are
Speaker 1: arguing saying that this guy is a major football player
Speaker 1: and she didn't put him on the map, but that's
Speaker 1: fake news. She put him on the map. She put
Speaker 1: him on every single map. Okay, there was no map.
Speaker 1: She wrote the map. She decided where all of the
Speaker 1: geography was going to be located on the map, and
Speaker 1: she decided to pick him up like a small toy
Speaker 1: inside a qua machine at an arcade and put him
Speaker 1: on the map. And I was on the map. So
Speaker 1: football and music have intersected. Game over. Oprah and The
Speaker 1: Rock got in trouble for their video about Hawaii. I
Speaker 1: think them living there made it challenging because it was
Speaker 1: a glaring reminder of what they have and what the
Speaker 1: people don't have. It's such a juxtaposition. I think that
Speaker 1: you can't see, touch, or feel their relief efforts, you
Speaker 1: don't understand them. This also happened with Mila and Ashton,
Speaker 1: by the way, with the Ukraine efforts. They had a
Speaker 1: third party that they wanted everyone to donate to, and
Speaker 1: they sat just like they do together in this video
Speaker 1: and got a lot of people to donate to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you my partner Michael was like you
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get some of their money
Speaker 1: because the guys that they're donating to, they're not controlling
Speaker 1: the money. It's a third party. And I think he
Speaker 1: said that those guys were tech guys. They're not guys
Speaker 1: that have disaster relief experience. So it gets tricky when
Speaker 1: you know that someone's don someone's asking you to donate,
Speaker 1: and then millions come in and then you're donating somewhere else.
Speaker 1: How can you control exactly where and how it's being distributed.
Speaker 1: There needs to be transparency. It happened years ago with
Speaker 1: a woman with the Australia fires where she raised a
Speaker 1: ton of money and the money, some of it, I believe,
Speaker 1: had to be refunded because it was all going to
Speaker 1: this one place that can't accommodate that kind of money.
Speaker 1: So just because you get a big gofund me going
Speaker 1: and it's really public and it's great how much you've raised,
Speaker 1: which is valiant and admirable, the hardest part is not
Speaker 1: raising the money. That's just asking people for money. And
Speaker 1: the more famous you are and the better your hashtag
Speaker 1: is and the better your picture of a koala during
Speaker 1: a fire is, the more money you'll raise. That's what
Speaker 1: being famous is. The real challenge is where is the
Speaker 1: money going? So the problem is that then Oprah and
Speaker 1: The Rock they're wealthy, and so it looked like they
Speaker 1: were asking other people to donate. And while they donated
Speaker 1: I think ten million either together, I don't think separately.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It just seemed like a drop in
Speaker 1: the bucket, and it was just something that hit wrong
Speaker 1: about them asking others to donate. Which I'm wealthy and
Speaker 1: I ask others to donate, so there's something about the
Speaker 1: way that they do it. I'm not a billionaire, but
Speaker 1: still that bothered people. And I believe it was like
Speaker 1: this machine that you could go up to and it
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like you could see it, touch it,
Speaker 1: feel it, and it didn't feel like Oprah giving blankets
Speaker 1: at shelters was landing in the same way as it
Speaker 1: would have if you felt that she was really involved
Speaker 1: and it was really transparent. I think that that was
Speaker 1: glossed over. I think people were just mad because she's
Speaker 1: rich and they're poor and they were asked to donate.
Speaker 1: But I think there's more to it. I think that
Speaker 1: people like when there's transparency, when you're saying Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what we aim to raise. This is exactly what
Speaker 1: we're doing with it. This is what we need it for.
Speaker 1: This is what we're running up against. This is what
Speaker 1: we're bumping up against. These are the challenges. This is
Speaker 1: what they said at the embassy. This is what the
Speaker 1: citizens are saying. This is how many people this much
Speaker 1: money feeds. This is a crisis kit for a family
Speaker 1: that has rice and solar power and a backpack and
Speaker 1: school supplies. This is what happened. This is we weren't
Speaker 1: able to do this, so we have to do something else.
Speaker 1: This is exactly where it's going. And then people were
Speaker 1: also investigating the five oh one C three where it
Speaker 1: was going, and they were saying that people have six
Speaker 1: figure salaries. Let's just get something straight. People at five
Speaker 1: oh one C three's do often have salaries and sometimes
Speaker 1: six figure salaries, and that's okay. You want them to
Speaker 1: run a good five oh one C three, be strong.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent goes to the effort, because I chose
Speaker 1: that to be the model. That's what I said to
Speaker 1: my five oh one C three partner when I partnered,
Speaker 1: saying I can't have any gray area with my people
Speaker 1: if they donate, they have to know it's one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: But my partner's five oh one C three and he
Speaker 1: has a salary. Because these people, whether it's Oprah's charity
Speaker 1: or you know, a trusted charity. I'm sure there are
Speaker 1: some charities. I've seen people staying at the same regis
Speaker 1: at Hurricane Harvey, and it's not great. If I go
Speaker 1: travel for relief, I pay for it myself. But what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is they have salaries. They work like eighteen
Speaker 1: hour days, and they work like six days a week,
Speaker 1: and they don't really take vacations, and they really just
Speaker 1: this is a life. So people that work in disaster relief,
Speaker 1: this is their whole life. They dedicate their whole life.
Speaker 1: And you want to look on I think it's there
Speaker 1: are different ones that like rate charities, Charity Finder. There's
Speaker 1: another one too. They're like there are ratings and they
Speaker 1: look at these five oh one c threes and they
Speaker 1: show you the percentage that goes actually to the effort,
Speaker 1: and you know where that salary and overhead is. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you have a very low percentage in overhead,
Speaker 1: it's totally justifiable that somebody would have a salary and often,
Speaker 1: like we have billionaire partners that will donate to be
Speaker 1: strong some of their donations, and then they'll say, we're
Speaker 1: donating some of our money to the five OHO one
Speaker 1: C three because we know that, let's say ninety six percent,
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent is going to the effort, but
Speaker 1: we're okay with the four percent because we want we
Speaker 1: know that they're running a business, like nobody can run
Speaker 1: a business, even if it's a not for profit business,
Speaker 1: without paying people, without having a nice building, without having
Speaker 1: nice offices. And I think that that's a mistake for
Speaker 1: people to just blindly judge a charity based on the
Speaker 1: fact that people have a salary and they do incredible work.
Speaker 1: They're not making millions of dollars. If they are, then
Speaker 1: there's a problem and people have gotten caught. And by
Speaker 1: the way, study your your charities. Look into where every
Speaker 1: dollar goes. Look there are line items. You can see
Speaker 1: all of it. And most of the big ones have
Speaker 1: a lot of red tape, have a lot of overhead.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money. You're just you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta go chase the numbers, you gotta follow the money,
Speaker 1: and you gotta look it up. But I just think
Speaker 1: that all these things converged in the Oprah and Rock moment.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't executed properly. It didn't land well. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure they did have good intentions. It just there
Speaker 1: was something about that that machine. There was something also
Speaker 1: about the mob on TikTok. They're relentless, and it just
Speaker 1: it was the execution. It wasn't the effort or the idea.
Speaker 1: It just reminded people of the money they have and
Speaker 1: the land they have. And it's the haves and the
Speaker 1: have nots. It's the down navvy upstairs, downstairs really too
Speaker 1: close for comfort that you're seeing that visual things have
Speaker 1: the land that didn't
