Hey everyone Kevin Rose here. Welcome back to another episode at the Kevin Rose show. I hope this podcast finds you well and healthy and not too freaked out. I know that with all this virus stuff going around I certainly have friends in both camps one

0:15.4

camp is you know camping out lockdown plenty of food and I have other friends that

0:21.5

think this is just a bad flu and they're still out there going to restaurants and out and about.

I would say that I'm a little bit more on the freaked outside and certainly for those with

you know, Eckhart Toli and Michael Singer and up until recently Ram Doss who passed
