1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.310 Sean Murray: And by the way, I just said it, ow a couple of 2 00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:05.310 times within the email that went out yesterday, I put it on a 3 00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:08.700 LinkedIn post. I can't say it enough times, because it's very, 4 00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:11.790 very, very important. You have to be vaccinated in order to 5 00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:14.940 enter Broker Fair, I didn't decide it, deBanked didn't 6 00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:18.510 decide it. This wasn't like a collective decision. This was 7 00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:22.110 this is a New York City executive order that requires 8 00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.960 it, the venue will be in charge. You can't come up to me and say, 9 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.540 Sean, can you sneak me in, you know, me type of thing, that 10 00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:30.780 venue is going to be in charge of making sure that you're 11 00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:34.560 vaccinated, they're going to check. A negative COVID test 12 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.980 that morning will not work. Just wearing a mask will not work 13 00:00:38.010 --> 00:00:40.740 telling me that you already had COVID before isn't going to 14 00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.290 work. These are not my rules? I'm not in charge of these 15 00:00:43.290 --> 00:00:45.600 things. This is the standard in New York City. I can't go to a 16 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.120 restaurant my friend yesterday told me I tried to go to 17 00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:51.360 Chipotle just to get lunch, they got carded, and couldn't get 18 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:51.810 lunch. 19 00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:55.050 Johny Fernandez: I will say I got the vaccine on Sunday. 20 00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:56.430 Sean Murray: Johnny got the vaccine. 21 00:00:56.430 --> 00:00:58.860 Johny Fernandez: Because you can't go anywhere. 22 00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:00.210 Sean Murray: You can't do anything in New York City. 23 00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:00.720 Johny Fernandez: You can't do anything. 24 00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:05.550 Sean Murray: in New York City. This isn't a Broker Fair only 25 00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:09.360 type of situation. 26 00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:09.990 Johny Fernandez: This is everywhere. 27 00:01:09.990 --> 00:01:15.870 Sean Murray: Everywhere in New York City. For us it's totally 28 00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:16.320 normal. 29 00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:16.620 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 30 00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:18.810 Sean Murray: Like I get carded all the time when I go around. I 31 00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:20.880 don't think anything of it anymore. It's different. It's 32 00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:22.710 new. And I get if you live outside of New York City, you 33 00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:24.690 might think it's a little bit strange. It's totally the 34 00:01:24.690 --> 00:01:27.630 standard here. You have to be vaccinated. Like, like I said 35 00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:30.660 before, you cannot rely on a negative COVID test. You can't 36 00:01:30.660 --> 00:01:33.240 just say, oh, wear a mask, you can't say Sean, you know, me, 37 00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:37.320 sneak me in or whatever. And you can't just say I already had 38 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.570 COVID therefore I have the antibodies. I wish I wish, you 39 00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:43.770 know, I understand everyone's resistance, if you are, you 40 00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:46.350 know, if you are hesitant about it, but the fact of the matter 41 00:01:46.350 --> 00:01:50.790 is, the city has enacted this order, it applies to everyone, 42 00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:54.240 the venue will be in charge of it. I myself cannot sneak you in 43 00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:55.260 or do anything about it. 44 00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:58.200 Johny Fernandez: And I think if our if this is a personal 45 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.860 prediction, this is not something official, but it looks 46 00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:03.990 like this will not be going away anytime soon. 47 00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:05.610 Sean Murray: Yeah, it's gonna be like this for a while. So if 48 00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:07.470 you're like, oh, it's you know, it's just for a couple of months 49 00:02:07.470 --> 00:02:09.870 or whatever. And, you know, I'm not going to do it. It's gonna 50 00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:12.060 be like this for a while. This is just the way New York City is 51 00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:13.860 if you live in the boroughs, you're already kind of get it 52 00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:16.260 because it's impossible to go out for lunch or dinner or 53 00:02:16.260 --> 00:02:19.080 drinks or anything. Without getting carded, it's just the 54 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:19.410 way it is. 55 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.230 Johny Fernandez: I think another thing to also stress is that if 56 00:02:22.350 --> 00:02:25.410 you don't get your tickets, and you get your ticket last minute, 57 00:02:25.410 --> 00:02:28.290 and it's sold out, don't call and ask us for more tickets. 58 00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:29.190 Cause we can't. 59 00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:32.095 Sean Murray: Yeah, yeah, there's that there's that too. Exactly. 60 00:02:32.144 --> 00:02:35.252 If you wait too long, and you're like, Can you can you sneak me 61 00:02:35.301 --> 00:02:38.359 in? You know me, you know that, that is, well, yeah. You know, 62 00:02:38.408 --> 00:02:41.170 we there's just certain guidelines that we have to abide 63 00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:44.376 by. With that all said, I don't want to scare anyone away. Yeah. 64 00:02:44.426 --> 00:02:47.484 Because we have not had anyone tell us that they will not come 65 00:02:47.533 --> 00:02:50.640 since we said that you have to be vaccinated. Again. No one has 66 00:02:50.690 --> 00:02:53.600 told us I'm not coming because of that. So I just want to I 67 00:02:53.649 --> 00:02:56.658 just want to make it perfectly clear that even though there's 68 00:02:56.707 --> 00:02:59.420 restrictions here, certain things that we can't control 69 00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:02.231 that out are the standard in New York City, you might be 70 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.141 wondering, well what's this going to do to Broker Fair, no 71 00:03:05.190 --> 00:03:08.100 one has called me and told me cancel my ticket or whatever, 72 00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:10.961 because I can't because I don't want to do it. So far the 73 00:03:11.010 --> 00:03:12.540 response has been fine with it. 74 00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:15.126 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. And I think that's something to stress 75 00:03:15.185 --> 00:03:18.830 and make sure that we prepare you guys for Broker Fair because 76 00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:22.652 last minute to be scrambling and making sure that you get in and 77 00:03:22.711 --> 00:03:26.297 you have a great time versus not getting in, not getting that 78 00:03:26.356 --> 00:03:29.942 having a and having a crappy time especially if you're coming 79 00:03:30.001 --> 00:03:31.530 out of the tri state area. 80 00:03:31.530 --> 00:03:33.270 Sean Murray: Hundreds of people are going to be there this use 81 00:03:33.306 --> 00:03:35.401 this as an opportunity to get together with everyone in the 82 00:03:35.437 --> 00:03:35.970 industry again. 83 00:03:36.210 --> 00:03:38.820 Johny Fernandez: Because this is one of the first big events of 84 00:03:38.877 --> 00:03:42.510 the industry of this caliber here in the northeast and got like. 85 00:03:42.510 --> 00:03:44.566 Sean Murray: In two years. Yeah. So you don't want to miss it. 86 00:03:44.608 --> 00:03:47.127 You know, don't don't let don't don't let you know don't let 87 00:03:47.169 --> 00:03:49.562 your fear prevent you from coming when so many people are 88 00:03:49.604 --> 00:03:52.248 going to get getting together in one place and it's going to be 89 00:03:52.290 --> 00:03:54.180 it's going to be truly something to remember. 90 00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:56.622 Johny Fernandez: And I think don't it's also don't let your 91 00:03:56.681 --> 00:04:00.054 fear but from coming from a stubborn person like me, don't 92 00:04:00.112 --> 00:04:03.428 let the stubbornness get the best of you.
