Is there anything I should know about this guy?
Oh, well, we'll see what Heather says tomorrow,
but in the meantime, we're just going to check out a couple of other charities
for comparison.
So he's starting a charity?
How did you find out about him?
That's a really good question.
Um, I think it was Craigslist.
Isn't there a directory?
Good thought, I should look that up. You know what?
I'll Google it right now. Hold on.
Oh, perfect, I have like no reception here at all. What about you?
I don't have internet on mine.
You should really think about investing in an iPhone.
You know, they're less than 500 dollars now.
(man) More chips?
She hasn't eaten today.
I had breakfast, thanks.
Does she eat? Tell me if she doesn't eat.
So why don't I tell you a little bit about myself.
Oh, you won't need to take notes. This is just some getting-to-know-you stuff.
Well, it's a little bit more than that, but...
...no, you don't need to take notes.
You don't need to take notes.
First of all, I appreciate you meeting me.
What with Craigslist, and meeting in my apartment;
I'm just trying to raise money for a good cause
so I'm trying to save money where I can for now.
I totally get that. It's the same reason I don't have an office.
So I started out in advertising.
I loved it. I was really good at it.
You know the sidebar weight-loss ads on GangUp?
That's so funny. We actually know the founder of GangUp.
She's our --
Sorry, go on.
Well, eventually I got really tired of it.
You're asked to do some pretty indefensible things
when you work in advertising.
Especially to children.
So I decided to put my considerable talents to good use.
I saved up some money to start a massive public awareness campaign,
but I'm in need of capital.
Now remind me: What's the campaign about?
(talking over each other)
Oh, tell Lane though.
I'm trying to encourage more black people to donate bone marrow.
As it stands, there are far more black people in need of marrow than are donors.
Now, isn't it like blood, like one size fits all?
Blood isn't like that.
Let's let the expert answer that.
I am not an expert.
Okay, well then, I probably know the most and I think that blood can go to anyone.
Unfortunately need to be a special genetic match to donate bone marrow
honestly mean my sister needed a transplant about six months ago.
She didn't have any matches on the list so I donated.
Now, I'm sorry to harp on this but
blood can go to anybody, I'm pretty sure.
So what's your take on that guy?
Well, his story was really inspirational.
So, what, you want to become a bone marrow donor?
I might sign up for the registry.
Don't they only need black people?
I think they still need everyone.
Okay, so, here's my concern about this organization:
What if it's racist?
What?
I mean, it's like telling black people what to do.
You know? That's kind of racist.
I mean, I guess, on the other hand, he is black.
so maybe it isn't racist.
I don't think it's racist.
Yeah, but you're not black, you know?
But Jason is black.
Yeah, but that might not be the point, you know?
Oh! There's a really good sandwich place.
I'm gonna pull over and get a good tofu sandwich.
I am not a racist.
