The virtual. In a second, I
0:02
wanna circle back with Courtney and
0:04
Matt that we're so touched
0:08
by the help that they received from virtual a
0:10
fan yesterday. They've been
0:12
homeless for a while, and a
0:14
whole bunch of virtual fans stepped up and helped
0:16
them out yesterday. But I saw this this morning,
0:19
And since we're talking about random acts
0:21
of kindness, this one right here
0:24
is like the crown jewel today.
0:26
So California man that
0:28
is coming up on his thirtieth birthday,
0:31
and he decided for his birthday. He was
0:33
gonna do thirty acts of kindness
0:35
over the next year. And some of those
0:37
include giving twelve thousand dollars worth
0:39
of school supplies to teachers in
0:41
Oakland. His name is Brian. Hi. My name
0:43
is Brian, and I'm on mission to complete thirty
0:46
of kindness before turning thirty next year.
0:48
I pulled out a sheet of paper and I started to write
0:50
down all the things that I was grateful for. Every
0:52
wonderful thing that has happened to me was
0:55
thanks to the support and generosity
0:57
of others. Kindness is interesting
0:59
because it has that thing of being very
1:02
addictive. Once you do one act of kindness,
1:04
you wanna do another. One act can lead
1:06
to hundreds, and it really can make this
1:08
world a brighter place. I thought the timing of that
1:10
for us was great. impeggable timing. That's beautiful.
1:12
It's always great. So let's get Courtney and
1:14
Matt back on. Hey, guys.
1:17
Hey. How are y'all Well,
1:18
you sound a little bit different today than you
1:20
did yesterday.
1:22
Yeah. You guys are definitely the
1:24
what you guys do is incredible.
1:25
It's just incredible.
1:28
Has it has it had a chance
1:30
to sink in yet? Everybody who
1:32
stepped up to try to give you guys a little bit
1:34
of help. No. It feels
1:37
like a dream. It feels like a he needs to
1:39
pinch me.
1:39
That's the way the way go. I
1:41
know. Right? Well, let's just run through
1:43
the list and just very quickly. If you weren't listening
1:46
yesterday. Court Ian met
1:48
hardworking people caught a bad
1:50
break, man. And as I said yesterday, sixty
1:53
percent of Americans. live from paycheck
1:55
to paycheck. So if you're listening yesterday, judging
1:58
and you're one of those sixty percent, I
2:00
can assure you, man, it can happen to
2:02
anybody. What they're in this high house and
2:04
the house wasn't even suitable to
2:06
live in. They were renting. And
2:09
the owner of the house when they brought all the stuff
2:11
there tensions like, sorry about that. Get
2:13
out of here. So No. That
2:14
he was like, you can stay. I'm not gonna fix it. And they're
2:16
like, we don't want this house crumbling over top
2:18
of us, so we're gonna
2:20
leave. So they did. And to make a long
2:22
story short, they've been staying in motels
2:25
and campgrounds and
2:27
just really really needed a break.
2:29
Yeah. They tried to stay at some shelters,
2:32
but they didn't want to separate, and
2:34
the shelters have men in one
2:36
area, and women in another. And
2:38
so and they just they have a dog that has
2:41
been by their side through this whole thing, and the shelters don't
2:43
take dogs, and then they're gonna have to board the dog. And
2:45
also if you don't have kids, you're not you're
2:48
not as applicable to get into the shelter, so
2:50
they just kept hitting roadblock after
2:52
roadblock after roadblock.
2:53
So Justin Landis or the
2:55
Justin Landis group called yesterday on
2:57
his Like, they need help. I got you
2:59
twenty five hundred dollars. Ingalls
3:01
called up and they're like, what do they need? They need
3:03
gas, they need grocery, so they gave a thousand
3:06
bucks. Your friend Jessica called
3:08
up and hooked her up hooked
3:10
Courtney up also. Courtney and
3:12
Matt. So Courtney does have
3:14
a new job and she is on
3:16
Zoom educating people and she has
3:18
not stepped foot in the salon in over a year.
3:21

3:23

3:25

3:27
absolute best.

And Ali Ewad from
3:30
a CEO lawyer, he
3:32
donated twenty five hundred dollars yesterday
3:35
also, but he wasn't in town
3:37

3:39

3:41
they would love to hear from you. So here's
3:43
Ali. Hey Ali.
3:47
Hey, good morning, Bert. How are you guys? Fantastic,
3:50
man. I got Courtney and Matt on
3:52
with you, and I know they wanna thank
3:54
you, man. I know you were touched by their story too, so
3:56
I really wanted to connect you guys. Good
3:59
morning, Matt. Good
3:59
morning. Thank you so much for giving me the
4:02
opportunity to help because I
4:04
have to be honest. It's not really
4:06
selflessness. It's selfishness. You
4:08
know, they feel so good to be able to help
4:11
other people that it almost feels like
4:13
I'm the one that should be thanking
4:15
you guys. And look,
4:17
we've all been there. We've all had difficult times.
4:19
And I
4:22
grew up really, really in
4:24
difficult situations and, you know,
4:26
my parents are from an immigrant family
4:29
and, you know,
4:31
it's tough men and it almost seems like
4:34
sometimes no matter how much money you make,
4:36
it's you
4:38
can't keep up. And so I just wanted
4:40
to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to
4:42
help and get back. And Courtney
4:45
and Matt, I hope that you guys are going
4:47
to be able to take this and give it back to other
4:49
people in the future too because there's
4:52
no more fulfilling feeling, I promise
4:54
you.
4:55
Yes. We just want
4:57
to say thank you so much. We what
4:59
you guys are doing, what you're doing, then
5:02
it it's it's really changing our lives. So,
5:04
I mean, it's it's given us a a
5:06
second chance to get to get where we wanna
5:08
be. And, you know, and I know where we wanna
5:11
be is in a position for us to be able
5:13
to do the same thing for somebody. I
5:15
know you will at some point. Ali, thank you,
5:17
man, for joining us. Ali is the number one
5:19
most followed injury lawyer in the
5:21
world on Instagram. You can look them
5:23
up. CEO, lawyer. Thanks
5:26
for the twenty five hundred dollars, man. I really, really
5:28
appreciate it. Absolutely,
5:29
man. When you guys called me yesterday,
5:32
I really wanted to try to get show yesterday. But,
5:35
you know, it's honestly my pleasure. And,
5:38
you know, if there's anything that I can do, you know,
5:40
I'm I'm from Georgia, been here my whole life.
5:43
there's anything that I could do for my community, I'm
5:45
here to help.
5:46
You the man, dude. Thank you.
5:48
Thank you. Alright.
5:50
So Courtney and Matt, with
5:52
everything yesterday, I think if
5:55
I'm doing the math right, we're close to, like, ten
5:57
thousand bucks. So that
5:59
should sincerely help here over the next couple
6:01
of months until you guys get on your feet. Correct?
6:04
Oh, yeah. That is what I said. That's
6:06
changed. That's gonna change our lives. I mean,
6:08
it's been amazing. We can't thank
6:11
you enough.
6:11
I gotta know. What was the dog's
6:13
reaction when you told the dog? don't
6:17
really know. We're both in tiers. That's
6:19
fine. So we've been in tears, you know,
6:21
a few times in the past six months. Past six months this
6:23
for much much better reason. So she's
6:26
a She's still right there with us. Waggoner
6:28
tails. I
6:30
don't laugh you. Well, I'm glad it all
6:32
worked out. I mean, I was getting text like all day
6:34
yesterday. My friend Dana from Frabberg called up
6:36
and said, they need five hundred dollars. I got them, so
6:38
we can even add that to the plot also. So
6:41

6:44
in touch with us. Mhmm. We definitely
6:46
wanna follow-up with you guys. I
6:49

7:04
family as well. And thank you for your vulnerability.
7:06
