California Floods: A Tragedy—or a Warning We Ignored? | The Karel Cast · The Karel Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: No time to fear. Corral is so near because Showtime
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is here. So on with the show. Let's give it
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a go. Corral is the one that you need to know.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Now it's Showtime.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Mother Nature exacted some revenge this weekend. Should we be
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: saddened or should we take the warning? And a seated
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: senator or congressperson has their home searched this morning. Should
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we be afraid? That and so much more on today's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Corral Show. Welcome. It is the Corral Show. I am Corral.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So very glad you are joining me on this Monday,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: August or August. Yeah. October, dear God, the year is like, bye,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: get out the Christmas ornaments, honey, 18, 19 days until
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Halloween and six weeks until Thanksgiving and then Christmas and boom,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the year's over. All right, we got a lot to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: talk about today. How was your weekend? How was everybody's weekend?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I hope it was good. Mine was rainy. Oh, we
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: had a tropical storm come through Las Vegas. That's a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: pretty rare occurrence. but it happened and dumped over two
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: inches of rain. Up until this point, we'd only gotten 0.9
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: inches of rain for the whole year, so double our
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: rainfall in one day. In fact, I have some photos here.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Let me see if I can get them here for you,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: because I got some photos here that you could see.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's going to let me drag
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: them in, but you know that I go to a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: park in the mornings, and that park is really just
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a flood basin. That's really what the park is. It
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: even says, it's named like the Lake's Flood Basin or
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: something like that. I forget what. But yesterday I saw
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the stupidest crap that I've ever seen there, and I've
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of stupid crap there. And when I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: saw it, I was like, are you kidding me? First
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of all, here is the flood. There it is. Now
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that bowl that you're looking at is normally empty. It's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: normally completely empty, but as you see, it's filled with
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: 14 feet of water. 14 feet. I'm not making this up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And idiot parents, look at these parents here, look. Do
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you see that they are letting their kids play in
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the water? I could zoom in even closer, but they're
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: letting their kids, here, let's zoom in. They're letting their kids,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: look at this. Their kids are in the water. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: went over there. I was like, are you insane? Like,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: do you smoke crack? Oh, no, the kids wanted to play. Honey,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: this is runoff, okay? This ain't, this is not a lake.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: This is runoff. There's a dead rat out there this morning.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Here is more. As you can see, there's a soccer ball.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That soccer ball is six feet tall. And as you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: can see, it is underwater. So, yeah, we had a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: whole lot of rain here in Las Vegas, so much
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so that there was 12 feet, 12 feet of water
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that ended up, you know, in the basin. And so
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it did its job, really. Let's see. I think there's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: audio here, too. That's just another photo. I do have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a video I took. I think this is the video here.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Uh-huh. All right. Well, that video won't play.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It's not importing it as a video. I don't know why. Well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you don't need to see the video to get the point.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The point is that there was 12 to 15 feet
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of standing water in my park the other day, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: parents let their fabulous kids and people let their dogs
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: run through it because they're idiots. Uh, and now it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all gone. It's all gone. Drained out, drained to Lake Mead. Uh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that's where it goes, goes directly to Lake Mead. Uh,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and that's where it's now. Now these are set up, uh,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to stop the strip from flooding. There's five of these
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: basins all around Las Vegas. Uh, and they're set up
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to stop the, uh, from flooding. Uh, however it flooded anyway,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the strip of course flooded. But that's not the real story.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The real story is Southern California and my old home
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of Long Beach. And you saw it in national news.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: You saw the peninsula washing away, basically, the boardwalk. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: all the houses facing the ocean are red-tagged. Eight houses,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: multimillion-dollar houses, red-tagged. Most of them had been converted to apartments.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And I got into trouble over the weekend online. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. I've got to put my glasses
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: on to read. But I got into trouble over the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: weekend online, and I'll tell you why about my comments
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of the Long Beach Peninsula flooding and Balboa Island in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Newport Beach flooding as well. We'll talk about my comments
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and why they have made me one of the most
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: hated people in the comment section. When we come back,
• 5:25

  Speaker 1: You have to be strong. Showtime is here. No time
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to fear. Corelle is so near because Showtime is here.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Corelle is the one that you need to know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: All right. Welcome back. Yes, Jane Schnabel in the chat
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: room at youtube.com forward slash really Corelle. That basin is
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: normally dry, except when it rains and when it rains
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a lot. And it rained a lot. And there was
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: 12 foot of standing water. And now it's gone. Of course,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: there's dead rats and all kinds of stuff there today
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because the park has this giant inlet, which comes from
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: another basin out by Red Rock. So that's the first one.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: When it overspills, it overspills into my basin. When that overspills,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it overspills into Steve's basin. Or no, that overspills into
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Flamingo basin. When that overfills, it fills into the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Tropicana basin. And then there's one more before it hits
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the strip. It's supposed to mitigate flooding on the Strip.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It doesn't. Vegas is not set up for the new climate,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but neither is Long Beach or Newport Beach. Now, for
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: those of you that have ever been to Long Beach,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the part of Long Beach that you're hearing about the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: most is the peninsula. It is a little jetty of
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Ocean Boulevard where it's a peninsula. There's water on three
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: sides of it. Also, a lot of the beaches in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Long Beach have now lost a lot of their beach.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: At Junipero Beach, at Ocean and Junipero, there's normally 200
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: feet between the parking lot and the ocean, and now
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there's literally less than 10 feet. And so I commented underneath,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it's sad that people lost their houses, but we've known
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: about this for 30 years. Al Gore tried to tell
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: us with an inconvenient truth, we wouldn't listen. And the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: people who did not listen especially were the rich people.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Rich people kept building properties on the beach, right next
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to the beach, or they owned properties there for generations,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: didn't move them, just decided, hey, we're going to move.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: We'll fix it somehow. And so I don't feel badly
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: for the people that own the property in Long Beach
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: that got destroyed. I don't feel badly. I would not
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: own property that is within 100 feet of the ocean. Okay?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: At least not in the last 10 years.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe in 1980, 1990. Not now. Why? Because I pay
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: fucking attention. Okay?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Because climate change is real. No matter how MAGA tries to...
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Look at what happened this weekend. Long Beach, there went
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the peninsula. And they should not rebuild. They're talking about rebuilding. No!
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Make it a park. It's going to happen. Again, the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: hubris to think this is just a one-time event. The
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: same with Balboa Island and Newport Beach. It looked like
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Katrina struck. They were underwater. Well, time to move your
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: businesses or elevate everything. Because you didn't listen. None of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: us have. In Nepal, there was another one of those
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: horrifying floods like we saw before. Another part of a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: glacier broke. This time they were able to get a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: message out and warn people. So there weren't nearly as
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: many deaths. But it took away villages just like the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: last one. Al Gore, watch an inconvenient truth. This was
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: all in it. And the directors of that now have
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a show on Apple TV that no one talks about
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and no one watched called Extrapolations. Set in six different
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: time zones, six years apart. 2037, 2042, 2048, 2054. and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: each accurate to what's going to be happening at that time.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Has anyone watched it?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: No.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And under these comments on Instagram about Long Beach and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Balboa Island and other places, people are saying, well, this
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: was climate change. And there are still climate change deniers
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: underneath saying, no, the climate, you know, every time I
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: hear a climate change denier, I want to smash their
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: face in. I am done indulging these people. They are
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: too stupid to be a part of our human race.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: They really should have the little smug faces just smashed
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: right in so they can't speak. You're advocating violence. No,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I'm being facetious. I'm not going to really smash their
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: faces in. But come on. It's climate change. It's happening.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: We were told. And what did we do? Nothing. Did
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we make oil companies give us something new to power
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: our cars? We did not. Did we stop consuming plastic,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: stop consuming electricity that wasn't solar? Did we build massive
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: wind farms, massive geothermal farms like Saudi Arabia is doing? No,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: we did not. Did we stop polluting? No, we did not.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: In fact, we went the other way. We drilled more,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Trump has loosened restrictions, gotten rid of the EPA, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: acted like it's all fine. Well, it's not fucking fine, honey.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's not fine. They can't build a seawall high enough
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to protect themselves unless they build a 30-foot barrier out
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in the ocean, like you see in sci-fi, where they
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: totally wall off Long Beach. Otherwise, the ocean's coming. You know,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I once looked at a map of 2050, optimistic that
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I would make it, of Long Beach. I lived near
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: 7th and Redondo. In just 14 years, we're in 2026,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in just 24 years, allegedly, water is going to come
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: up to 7th and Redondo. It's going to fill up
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the marina. It's going to fill up the stadium there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And it's going to come up to 7th and Redondo
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: through the peninsula. through Belmont Shore, and then right up
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to 7th and Redondo. No one is preparing for that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Not the city, not homeowners. In fact, there's a home
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: for sale right now, one bedroom, one bath, just eight
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: blocks from the beach for a million dollars. So, no,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I have no empathy left for people who do not
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: pay attention to climate change. What about those poor renters?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Why did you rent a place within walking, within literally
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: where the beach was 20 feet away? I'm not making
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: this up. Some of the homes on the peninsula are
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: right on the boardwalk and the ocean is right on
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the other side. They are literally 10 feet away from
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the water. Who would rent there? And the rent's like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: four or five grand a month. Who would rent there?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Only an idiot. So these people, they're like the three
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: little pigs. They built their house of twigs and then
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: wonder why the wind blew it down and then want
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: sympathy and insurance payments and, oh, the wind blew down
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: my twig house. Yeah, you think? Climate change is real, honey.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to live next to the ocean,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: put a snorkel and fins by your bed because it's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: coming for you. You know, over the weekend... I binge-watched
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of television because I'm depressed. And two of
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the shows I watched are great. You should watch them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: The first is called Below with Josh Hartnett, who I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: still want to have sex with. And they all have
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Newfoundland accents. Who knew that they spoke so oddly in Newfoundland?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Although they probably think we speak strange. And it's called Below.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And the premise is basically that ice is breaking loose,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: coming to Newfoundland. And what do you know? Something that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: has been undisturbed for centuries under the ice is now disturbed.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: And I'll just leave it at that so you can
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: watch it. The other I watched on Amazon, but it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: also available for free on Tubi, called The Swarm. Okay?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And The Swarm is the exact same thing. An alien
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: life form, or a life... When I say alien, it
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean from space. A life form that we
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: previously had not identified, that is older and wiser than us,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: lived deep below the ice in Antarctica. And with warming,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: it's come up. And it's pissed. It's pissed about what
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: we have done to the ocean. So it starts commanding...
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And I won't tell you how. It starts telling ocean
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: creatures to harm us, to rebel against us. And it
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: even gets some of them to burrow and cause underwater
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: collapses that create giant tsunamis and everything else. And whereas
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: 40% of the world's population live along the coasts, okay, 40%,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: it took some big damage. But the theme of both
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of these shows, The Swarm and Below, which are both
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: great shows, is that Mother Nature is going to strike back.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And she is. She is. We won't listen. We won't behave.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: So the earth is going to start taking us out.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Is it coordinated? Is it intentional? Is it driven by
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: some intelligence? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. And these
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: people were all, pray for all the people that lost
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: their homes in Long Beach. Hey, I ain't praying for
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: rich fucks. Okay, that's the first thing. And even if
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: they're renters, they can afford four grand a month. Number two,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: in an insurance contract, what happened in Long Beach, it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: called force majeure, an act of God. It is literally
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: called An act of God in contracts. So if it's
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: an act of God, why would I pray for people
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: affected by it? God wanted it to happen. The insurance
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: policies say, act of God. So if it's an act
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: of God, God wanted to flood that place. God sent
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the Calvin wave. God sent the super El Nino. Maybe
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: it's God. that's trying to cleanse the Earth, if you
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: believe in such. But either way, the planet's coming for us.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And you can deny it. You can say it's not
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: climate change. You can do whatever you want. But the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: flooding's going to get worse. The heat's going to get worse.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: In France, they shunned air conditioning. Now they're loving it. Why?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Because it got to be over 100 consistently. So the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: climate is changing and it's coming for us.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And look, 40% live near the coast. They got to move.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Al Gore said that. Al Gore said in an inconvenient truth,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and the inconvenient truth is we're going to have to change.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: And we haven't. We haven't moved community. There's one community
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: that has moved. What is it? Kuala Lumpur? The capital
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: of somewhere is moving inland. I think it's Kuala Lumpur.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They're moving inland. They're taking the entire city and moving
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: it because it's going to go underwater. Long Beach needs
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to truly rethink where people live because the water's coming.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Huntington Beach, they could just take that. What a waste,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a MAGA computer. Gay-hating, black-hating MAGA Huntington Beach, skinhead city.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: That should go underwater. Newport Beach, Balboa Island. The island
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: is only 12 feet above sea level. Well, hon, it's rising.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And when the tides swell, you're going under. And that's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: just the way it is. Now, with climate change, we
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: treated it like our fat. I have not started on
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Zepound yet, and I weigh 208 pounds. When I brought
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to you my decision, I weighed 222. I've lost 13,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: 14 pounds, and I'm still not on Zepound. Now people
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: want to sue the makers of GLP-1s because of the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: side effects that they didn't tell them about, and they
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: can't even get the information from the drug companies about
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the side effects. But no one wanted to eat right
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and exercise. Everybody wanted a quick fix. And along came Ozempic,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: their quick fix. They don't care the repercussions. of their
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: quick fix they just want the quick fix it's the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: same with climate change everybody is waiting for science to
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: come up with a quick fix so they don't have
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: to change so they don't have to stop driving gas
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: guzzling cars or trucks that nobody needs Can you imagine?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: We are literally dying. Dying. People have died from Hurricane
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Isaiah and everything. We are literally dying. And we are
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: having to choose between paying for oil and paying our bills.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And we still won't quit it. We won't give it up.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to hear excuses. If enough public
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: pressure was put on oil companies to sell us something
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: else to power our cars, it would happen. If we
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: stopped buying vehicles powered by gas, just stopped, it would happen.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: If we all went solar and stopped giving money to
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: electric companies, it would happen. But we won't change. We
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: will not change. We are killing ourselves, and thus we
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: deserve to die. So the people that live along the beach,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: they deserve what they get. And that's a horrible thing
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to say, but they do. It's like I said about AIDS,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: which is why my first book is called You Can't
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Say That. I said in today's modern age, if you
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: contract HIV, you deserve it. It doesn't mean that we
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: won't love you and give you medication for it and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: all of that, but we know how to prevent it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: So if you get it, that's on you. Same thing here.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I'll still feel badly for you. I'll still help you. But,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: come on. When do you take responsibility for your actions?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: You have to be proud with hatred.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, it's Carell. You know, Pride Month was rough
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: this year. We had a lot of hate heaped upon
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other governments around
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the world. And if you are a trans person, you
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: are really going through a particular type of hell right now.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: That's why when I was thinking of my next single
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: in June, I sat down and I wrote, you have
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to be proud. You have to be proud with anger
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: so loud streaming everywhere. Keep fighting, keep singing, keep dancing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: We're gonna win. So what do y'all think? I would
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: love to hear your comments down below. In the comment section,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: which drives up engagement on the video, you all have
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to start commenting. Come on. This is not a hobby.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: One of the things I am seriously considering is going
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: weekly with the show and just doing an hour-long life
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: in segments every week. And if I lose patrons, I
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: lose them. But you know what? This is not a hobby.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And either this gets bigger or we make some changes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I love you. I love being here with you every day.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I adore you. I do. Every one of you. And
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: my patrons, you are my heart. But also, we need
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: to do everything we can. You do. You need to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: do everything you can to make the show a success.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: That means comments. And not 25 comments from one person.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I need... The videos get between 400 and 600 views.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Even at 10%, there should be 40 comments.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So come on, comment. What do you think about people
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: who live in coastal regions being flooded? Should we feel
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: sorry for them? Now, we should help them, certainly. Don't
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: leave them homeless and don't leave them out on the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: street destitute. I'm not saying that. I'm saying they shouldn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: rebuild their homes there. We should not give them money
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: to rebuild their homes there. You don't give a liver
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to an alcoholic. When you need a transplant, if you
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: need a liver transplant and you are an alcoholic, they
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: will not give you a liver transplant because they know
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you're just going to ruin it. Well, insuring these homes
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and letting them rebuild in the exact same place in
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the exact same way is like giving a liver to
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: an alcoholic.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: A perfectly good liver is going to go to waste.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: And everybody's rates go up because of these rich people. Everybody's.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: It's not just the rich people rates that go up.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Insurance companies are going to have to pay out millions
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: in Long Beach. That means everybody in Long Beach is
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: going to get hit with an insurance hike. You pay, ultimately,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: for the rich ignoring climate change. You know, I know
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: this sounds weird, but in the future, only poor people
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: will live next to the ocean because they will constantly
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: be flooded and have their home, you know, so it'll
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: be poor people that live there. rich people will move
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: away and move up upon the hill. So what do
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you think about, and not just whether they should rebuild
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: or not, do you think insurance companies should insure houses
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: that are within 300 feet of the ocean? And I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: mean that, 300 feet. Waves can come up far. Do
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you believe that anyone should be able to build within
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: 300 feet of the ocean if it's not elevated? Because
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I don't. Not in today's world. Maybe before. You know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: maybe before, but not now. You know? So I'd love
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to have your comments down below. I truly would. You
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: tell me, though. You tell me. And am I wrong
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: for putting a post under I think it was KCAL
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Channel 9 or KTLA Channel 5. And they were like, oh,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: look how horrible. Look how horrible. Someone called me a dick,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a jerk, said I had no empathy. You built your
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: house in the middle of a minefield. And then you
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: want me to feel badly when the mines explode. I
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: don't get it. You built your house on the middle
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: of a minefield. You tell me. So we'll see your
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: comments down below. So that's what happened with the weather.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Here in Vegas, we flooded. Several places flooded here. A
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: unit here in my complex flooded. People flooded. It was
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of water. 5.30 in the morning, Sunday morning, 5.30,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the emergency alert went off on my phone. I jumped
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the fuck out of bed. I said, you should not
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: do this when I have a history of arrhythmia. And
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: it was like, flash flood imminent. Do not travel unless
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you are traveling to a safer location. Shelter in place.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And sure enough, there was a flash flood. It happened,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: went right down Flamingo. big, huge wall of water, just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: came right down Flamingo, headed straight to the strip, where
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: it ended up, actually. So it happened. There's dirt and
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: rocks everywhere. There's debris.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: It happened.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: We had a flash flood here in Las Vegas. And why?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Because we built the city all wrong. The city is
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: not built for the rains that are coming. You know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas doesn't get a lot of rain, but it's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: going to be hit by these storms periodically that dump
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of rain. It's not set up for it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Because it didn't happen before. Well, it's happening now. A
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: tropical depression landed right on top. The eye landed right
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: on top of Las Vegas. It's not going to not
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: happen again. It's going to happen again. There's going to
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: be another hurricane out in the Pacific that is going
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to send big waves to Long Beach and Newport Beach
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and Laguna Beach. It's going to happen. And it's probably
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: going to happen either every year or every other year.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be every 10 years, every 20 years. No.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: The new normal for weather is whatever the weather is
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: right now. There is no exceptional weather anymore. Like, oh,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: this is a once in a hundred year. No.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Now they're going to be every year events. Like mass shootings.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: There were three over the weekend. Three. Three. And you
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: don't know about them. You could care less about them now.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: And don't, couldn't care less about them now. And don't
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: act like you care. You don't. You can't. You couldn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: care any less about them anymore because they happen way
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: too often and there's nothing you can do about them.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: So you just don't sit there and ruminate on them anymore.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Same thing with climate change. This is just going to
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: keep happening and happening and people just going to accept it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: They just go, oh yeah, yeah, that's just going to happen.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: It's sad. It's tragic. Not the devastation, but the fact
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: that we ignored the warnings. We ignored them. We were told.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Oil companies knew. For 40 years, oil companies knew that
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: what they were selling, was going to do this. They
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: sold it anyway. Governments knew this was going to happen.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Governments allowed them to sell their product anyway. Doubled down
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: on it. Triple.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Because it made all of the people that looked down
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: on us money. Rich people. Oprah's house wasn't flooded. Bill
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Gates' house wasn't flooded. Elon Musk's house wasn't flooded. No.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Their houses are fine. They live in places, you know.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: But the rest of us, they could not have a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: care life. Think of rich cares. When we come back,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: there was a raid. And it's fascist.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yours.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Listen daily to.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: The Corelcast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving you crazy.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yours.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: you crazy.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: very personal to me. And the video now is very
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: cry all the time. But I cried the first time
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I saw it. We all have somebody, whether it's someone
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: that's passed from AIDS or some other thing. We all
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: have people that we danced with. And that's why we dance.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Stream I Dance Because on all services.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Now it's true.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: All right, so federal agents have searched the home of
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Representative Ilhan Omar for no other reason than she's a
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Somali that Donald Trump hates. It's fascism. It's happening. It's
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: going to continue to happen. And I'm going to get
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: in trouble. I'm going to get in trouble. I'm going
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: to get in trouble. I don't fucking care. I don't care.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And you're like, what? What can I do about it? Look,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: if I could leave this country, I would. Not because
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: of Ilhan Omar being raided, but that's a horrible thing
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: that a fascist dictator does. But because we are planning
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: to air the execution of an old Muslim in a wheelchair.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And Pete Hagsworth has such a big boner about it,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: you can see it from space. Donald Trump's on board.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: That's what fascists do. That's what North Korea does. That's what,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: you know, Russia does. That's what African nations run by
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: dictators do. That's not what the United States does. Great
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Britain certainly wouldn't consider it. France would never do it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Germany wouldn't do it. No civilized country would do it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And his maggots, they're all on board with it. Yip, yip, yip.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: That's why I want to leave. I can't fathom living
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: in a country, having a Senate and a Congress that
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: would allow this, having courts that would allow this, having
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: a military that would allow this. I can't imagine living
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: in that country of soulless, heartless fascists. and the people
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that support them. And if I ruminate on it, if
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I ruminate on Ilhan Omar's house being raided simply because
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: she is a Somali and Donald Trump hates her, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: that's fascism at its finest, if I sit and think
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: about that, if I think about the indignation of showing
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: an execution on the television, live streaming it like Al
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Qaeda did for Daniel Berg when they beheaded him. We
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: are now no better than Al Qaeda. We have become
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Al Qaeda. And I don't want to be in that
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: we anymore. I don't want to be a part of
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's America. And what do you really think is
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: going to happen after the midterms? I'm being serious here.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: The weakest party on the planet, the Democrats, they get power.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Let's say they get the House and the Senate. What
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: would they do to stop the execution? I read a
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: great article today that said Donald Trump simply knew that
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the guardrails, the courts, the Congress, and all the other
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: checks and balances that we had were a facade just
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: waiting for someone to push those limits. He knew that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: And he pushed them. And they buckled. We don't have
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: any guardrails. Stop acting like we live in a country
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: that could prevent fascism. We don't. Ilhan Omar is proof
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: of that. It's happened. Don't act like we live in
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: a compassionate, kind nation. We don't. We allow mass shootings
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: to happen on the regular. Don't do anything about it.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And that includes Democrats. Democrats have been in power over
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the last 20 years. They could have outlawed handguns. They
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: could have outlawed assault rifles. They didn't. So what makes
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: you think? Now look, I'm voting in the midterms. I
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: am voting blue all the way down the line. But
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I don't expect much to change. They're not going to
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: impeach and remove Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. They're not.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: They're not going to impeach and remove Pete Hagsworth. They're
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: not going to impeach and remove several Supreme Court justices.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: That's what a true checks and balance organization would do.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: If Congress is truly one of the checks and balances
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: against an out-of-control president, against an out-of-control court, then they
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: would remove the out-of-control president and the out-of-control Supreme Court members.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: They won't. They're not going to. So what do you
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: expect to really change? And I'm being serious. Leave your
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: comments below. What do you, give me a specific thing
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: that you think are going to change.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: If you're not visiting reallykarel.com daily, you're missing out. Get
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes at reallykarel.com.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: That's really, K-A-R-E-L.com.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Be proud with hatred.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, it's Carell, and I want to invite you
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to stream my new single, You Have to Be Proud,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: on Swishcraft Music. You Have to Be Proud, by Carell.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Go stream it, go march to it, go wave your
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: rainbow flags and piss off MAGA to it. Do whatever
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: you need to do to remind yourself and others, we
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: are stronger than ever, and they can't have our pride.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: You have to be strong.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Showtime is here. No time to fear. Corral is so
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: near because Showtime is here. So on with the show.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Let's give it a go. Corral is the one that
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: you need to know.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, you gotta hand it to Trump. You do.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: You have to hand it to him. A public execution
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: will get fans all riled up. His base will love it.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: And Would I have.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm just going to say it. Had they
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: taken all the January 6th rioters that entered the Capitol,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: lined them up out front and shot them, I would
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: have been for it. I am not making that up.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Had the National Guard converged on the Capitol and shot
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: every single one of the January 6th insurrectionists, I would
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: have been fine with it. I would have. If every
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: one of them had been killed, I would have been
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: fine with it. They were committing treason. They were trying
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to stop the peaceful transfer of power of my nation.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: It was treason of the highest accord. not just insurrection,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: it was treason. They built gallows for the vice president
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and Nancy Pelosi. They should have been swinging from those
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: very gallows right out in front of the Capitol. Every
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: person that stormed the Capitol should have been put up
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: on gallows, but the Democrats would never do it. They
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: didn't do shit after January 6th. Oh, they kvetched and
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: they moaned and they talked about how horrible it was
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and they did a few criminal prosecutions that 20 months
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: in jail, it was fucking treason. And now those people
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: are going to get money back from the government, the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: January 6th. Now they're out of jail and pardoned when
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: they should have been hung. in front of the Capitol.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: You want to bring back public executions? Let's execute the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: right people. Donald Trump and Pete Hedges should be convicted
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: of war crimes. And if they were adjudicated by a
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: judge of war crimes, then I'm all for their public
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: execution if found guilty because that is the punishment. That's
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the punishment at the Hague. So if they were tried
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: and found guilty of war crimes, I'd watch their execution.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: But the Democrats would never do that. Just the Republicans.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Just MAGA. And they're doing it. They're moving forward with
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: a public execution. That's why I can't care about it anymore.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I can't. I just can't. Oman this morning. Poor Ilhan Omar.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: She became a citizen at 17 years old. She is
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: a naturalized citizen. And now they want to go back
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and examine forms that her father filled out. They're trying
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: to make it so she's not a citizen so they
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: can kick her out to get her out of Congress.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: And it's not surprising it's from the same state that
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Al-Fayed is from. Donald Trump won't even call him by
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: his name. He is such an Islamophobe asshole. He calls
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: him Muhammad. That's not his name. He should be removed
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: just for that. But he won't be. So I can't care.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: You know what I spent the three days over the
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: weekend caring for Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Three things. Number one.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I was mad that I didn't have the resources to
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: leave the United States. That's the first thing. Just mad.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Number two, and this would make a fun topic if
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I were on KGO or KFI. I wish we could
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: do the topic here, but you guys won't participate. You
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: won't leave your comments down below. You won't participate. But
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: the fact is, it would make a great KGO or
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: KFI topic. How many of you have a bucket list?
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: But beyond a bucket list, how many of you have
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: a hobby, not a profession per se, or maybe a profession,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: a hobby that turned into a part-time career, and there
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: was something for that hobby or that career that you
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: never got, that you just never got. It was too expensive,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: and you never got it. And your whole life, you've
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: wanted it. And now you're older, and you still don't
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: have it. And it eats at you inside. And you
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: don't really need it. That's the difference between something that's
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: like a hobby and something that's a profession. You don't
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: really need it. But you want it. With everything, every
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: ounce of everything in you. How many of you have
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: something like that? Something that you don't particularly need, but
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: you want so badly? You know? How many of you?
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I'm serious. How many of you have something that in
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: your life, a hobby or, I don't know, a dream,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: a dream item that you've never gotten because you couldn't
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: afford it? Maybe it's a Mustang convertible, a 1964 Mustang convertible,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: and you don't want to die without ever having one.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's, I don't know, a trip around the world
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: and you don't want to die without ever taking that
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: trip around the world. How many of you have something
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: that your whole life you've wanted or wanted to do
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: but haven't been able to because of finances? And now
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you're older and it's on your bucket list. How many
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: of you? I want to read to you an email
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: that I sent yesterday. I'm not embarrassed that I sent it,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: but I will tell you that they're not going to respond.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: But let me read you an email I sent. Greetings
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: to the marketing department at Hasselblad USA. This is the
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: longest and oddest request you'll receive, I am sure. I
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: just got off the phone with your U.S. customer service
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: to get your email address, and he adored my story,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to tell it to you. My name
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: is Carell, Charles Carell Boulay. I started in the entertainment
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: industry at 15 years old in 1977. One of the
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: things I did was photography, quite by accident. I had
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a camera in school, began using it, and my writing
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: skills to get to entertainment events that I normally would
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: not be able to attend. I went as media. When
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I was 20, in 1982, I was approached in a
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: club by someone that asked if I was a professional photographer.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I lied and said yes. My parents brought me and
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: bought me a Vivitar 35mm camera at Gemco, the Walmart
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: of our time. It took almost half of their Social
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Security check. I was at the Grammys four days later,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: where I swore one day I would be a voting member.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I've gone every year since. I then became a full-time
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: media figure, including photographer. I studied everything. I studied the greats,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: George Harrell, Francesco Scavullo, Victor Skribneski, Avedon, Leibovitz, and so
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: many others. But I was never wealthy enough to have
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: a Hasselblad, ever. And I always wanted one. In the
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: late 80s, after photographing Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Donna Summer,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Diana Ross, Bette Midler, everybody, Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, literally
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: everyone for Billboard Magazine, The Advocate, Rolling Stone, and more,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I crossed the velvet rope and became a dance music
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: artist and voting member of Grammy. A dream fulfilled. In
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: the late 90s, I became part of the first openly
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: gay couple to host a drive-time talk show on KFI
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: 640 Los Angeles, the number one station. When my partner
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: died unexpectedly, I changed California laws for gay people to
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: have the right to sue for wrongful death. I went
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: on to CBS and ABC radio and became a staple
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: on cable news. I also continued recording, releasing music, and touring.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: My picture was being taken for major magazines, often on
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: a Hasselblad, but with me as subject, not photographer. And
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: life had me so busy, there was no time for
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: anything else, for any hobbies whatsoever. I was doing number
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: one radio, writing for the Huffington Post, an advocate, editor
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: at Billboard, touring, recording, doing radio. Prestigious, but not that
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: profitable because I was gay, and at the time, I
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: was an experiment. at radio or record labels. Times were different.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: I did a five-season show on Free Speech TV, Life
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: and Segments, which was well-received. We're revamping that show in 2027,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I hope. I also still do a Top 200 podcast,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: The Carell Show, Ride for Medium, Real Vegas Magazine, have
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: a Top 10 dance single currently, and wrote a song
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: that Kamala Harris used in her campaign. And yet, still
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: not rich. I am 63 years old. In November, I
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: will be 64. One of the segments I am doing
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: on my upcoming show is the bucket list. Things we
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: should all do now because the future is a myth.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: The top of my bucket list, a Hasselblad with a
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: 90 millimeter portrait lens and a digital back. The traditional
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: one that you hold with the top with both hands
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: and look through the screen. But that system, the 907X
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: and the CF-V100 with a lens is $ 11, 000. I don't
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: have that in the production budget and I don't have
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: it personally as I now live mostly on pensions. because
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: budgets for TV and radio have been cut so severely.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: And no matter how popular you are, getting paid is rough.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: You all know about streaming and how little it pays.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Social media is also a cesspool, and I don't concentrate
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: on it. So, how can I get this system to
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: be mine forever, to feature on TV, to review, to
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: show in print and social media? Do you have any
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: used ones that you sell at a discounted price? I
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: am looking for a sponsor for the bucket list segment.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe you want to sponsor it and provide the camera.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: I have been in media since before whoever reading this
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: was born. There's a good story here and a chance
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: for more exposure of your product, which you don't need
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: because only professionals use your product. So there you have it.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: A 63-year-old gay guy in Las Vegas producing content, still
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: at this age, doing a segment on getting the things
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: you truly want in life now and not to wait.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: How can I get a Hasselblad with a digital black
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: and lens and die happy? If you have any discounts, advice,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: or referrals, let me know, and I'll start there. Yes,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I sent that. Because I want a Hasselblad before I die.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: And when I had my arrhythmia the other day in
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: the park and didn't know if I was making it
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: out of the park, I realized my time is running out.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: And it's time now to have things that I've wanted
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: my whole life or I'm never going to get them.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I can't afford that camera. And I'm not a pro anymore.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like I shoot for Vanity Fair
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: or Vogue. And yet, it is the one hobby, the
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: one thing that I love almost as much as all
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: of this. I love photography. I love it. I have
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: made a ton of money at it, and I love it.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: And I want that camera. And all weekend long, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: could go buy it. I've got the credit. I could
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: go buy it. But all weekend long, I felt badly
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: because I couldn't get it for myself for my birthday.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Because I realized I'm getting older and I could die
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: at any moment. And if I don't get it now,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I'll probably never get it. And so I felt badly
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: over the weekend because I couldn't just go buy the
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: one thing, the only thing I want for my birthday.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: A Hasselblad 907X with a 100cc back and a lens.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: That's all I want. That's all I want for this
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: or any other birthday. That's all I want. I don't
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: want anything else. That's what I want. And the other
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: thing I want? To leave the United States. And the
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: 10 grand could help me leave the United States. There's
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of stuff that 10 grand could do.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: And yet, I want that camera. So I cooked a lot.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: You'll be seeing the video of that. I made bread.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I made yogurt. I made kimchi. I made three-bean salad.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I made a lot of stuff. I videotaped it all.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: I cooked. And then I felt bad. I watched television.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I binge-watched TV. And I felt bad about not having
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: the money to get out of the United States or
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: buy a Hasselblad for my birthday. Do you have anything
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: on your bucket list that you just want before you die?
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's something you coveted as a kid that was
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: the symbol of wealth to you. KitchenAid stand mixer or
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: some sort of car. I mean, people do this all
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: the time. They buy stuff all the time that their
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: whole life they've wanted because it symbolized something to them.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: A Hasselblad symbolizes the peak level of photography to me.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Do you guys have something? Something on your bucket list?
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: A trip? A car? A house? Maybe it's a dream house.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted a cottage by the sea. But it's
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: something that you haven't just wanted that if you die
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: without getting, it will bother you. If I die without
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: ever having a house of blood, it will bother me.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. There's no logic there whatsoever. And yet,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: there it is. What about you guys? Do you have something,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: and I'm being honest, like something that really in your core,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: a diamond ring, a pearl necklace, a gift for somebody.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe the bucket list item isn't even for you. Maybe
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: you've always wanted to give your husband or your wife
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: something really extravagant. Now, 10 grand is extravagant. It's not
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: a house, but you know what I'm saying. So what
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: is on your bucket list and what's stopping you from
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: getting it now? Because none of us are getting any younger, okay?
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: We're all getting older. So what is one thing that
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: you haven't gotten in life yet that you really want
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: before you die? And don't say, what is one thing?
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: One thing. You can name one thing.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: What's the one thing you want before you die?
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Patreon is the way.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K, funk, honey. Do you
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: wanna funk? Do you wanna funk? Hey, it's Carell. Go
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: stream Do You Wanna Funk? My tribute to Sylvester. Everywhere
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: you get your music. Carell, Do You Wanna Funk?
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Now it's showtime.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: All right. See, this is it. This is what I wanted.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: This is a great conversation. This is the kind of
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: radio I want to do. So in the chat room,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Phineas says he has always wanted to move to New Zealand.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: That's like a thing, like a life thing for him.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: And he is trying to take the steps. Michelle Crocker says,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be 80 and still living in apartments.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: And then Sandy agrees and says, same here, Michelle. I'm
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: 57 and never owned a house and I can't afford
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: to rent one. I hope someday I can live in
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: a house and not an apartment. I'm with you. My
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: next move, I really want it to be a house.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I miss Park Howard. I go on Zillow and look
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: at the pictures of Park Howard because they still have
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: the photos up. If you all want to see how
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I used to live, my actual house, the interior of
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: my house, go to Zillow and put in the address
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: 2631 East 7th Street. I will finally give that out
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: to you. Go ahead. Go to Zillow. Put in 2631
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: East 7th Street in Long Beach and look at the photos.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: That was my house. That's my furniture. Go there. Go
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: look at how I used to live. Go to 2631
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: East 7th Street on Zillow in Long Beach and look
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: at the photos. That was my house. That's how I lived.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: And I miss it. I miss a backyard for Ember.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: I miss a house, an actual house. I love my condo.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: I do. But I miss a house. Let's see. You'd
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: have to get permits for your dog if you left.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I know. I've looked into it. Um, let's see. Someone
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: wants an Aston Martin. I'm not going to slight you
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: for that. If that's something you've always wanted. Great. Um,
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: a boat in a Harbor. Oh, that's a, that's a
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: cool thing. You could get one for about 20 grand.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: You even 10 grand. You could get a boat for $ 10, 000. Uh,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: what's stopping me from getting a boat now? Lack of money. Exactly. Yeah.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: That's what's stopping everybody. Right. Uh, To be a published journalist. Oh, really? Well,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: publish yourself. Become a writer at Medium and publish on Medium. Substack.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: If you want to be a published journalist, write articles
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: on Substack. People will subscribe. It's the new kind of publishing.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Get a Substack. Michelle Crocker, get a Substack account and
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: then write and get subscribers. Publish yourself. I want to
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: be rich. Well, don't we all? I want a Lexus
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: and a PhD. Well, if you get the PhD, you
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: might be able to afford the Lexus. Who knows? For me,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: it's a Hasselblad. I've had a house. I've had fame.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I can't say I want fame. I've had fame. It's great.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I'd like it again, but I've had it. I'd like
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: to leave the country with my Hasselblad and photograph people
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: in other countries. I also want to get a Hasselblad,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the most expensive camera in the world, and take photos
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: of the homeless. And I don't mean of them just
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: sitting around. Take actual portraits of them, buy their stuff,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: buy their hoard. Find homeless people, put them, buy their belongings,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: and take portraits of them with the most expensive camera
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: in the world. I don't know why that sounds like
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: a series that I want to do, using the most
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: expensive camera in the world to photograph those with the least.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's obscene. Maybe it sounds horrible. But the portraits
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: would be beautiful because of the camera. They would be
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: gorgeous pictures. And I would give that person that print.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: of themselves looking gorgeous. And not all done up with
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: makeup or anything, but looking beautiful in their own way.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I would like to use the most expensive camera in
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: the world, a Hasselblad, to make the poorest in the
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: world look beautiful. To them, so they're happy. So for
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: a moment, they would look at the photo and feel joy.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I would love to do that. I would love to
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: give people the gift of looking at their photo and
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: feeling joy. I really would. That's what I'd like to do.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Will I? I don't know. My friend David said, do it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Buy the damn camera. So you'll be another 10 grand
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: in debt. You're already 20 grand. What's 30 grand? And
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: I thought, oh, I'm so close. But I won't because
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: I really could help that. That could pay three months
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: rent in another country. That could pay that. It could
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: do so much. So I just can't justify it. And
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: that's why so many of you don't have what's on
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: your bucket list. You could, but then it would take
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: everything you've got. So you don't. It's called responsibility. Not
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: getting what you want on your bucket list. It's called
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: being responsible. But then you die without it. And then
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: we're like, oh, so you die without that camera. So what? Yeah,
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: so what? I mean, really? So what?
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: As long as I was loved, right? That's all that
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: really matters. All right, little programming note. I got a
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: contract to do Feinstein's at the Hotel Nico January 30th.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: I haven't signed it yet. They only want to give
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: me 50% of the tickets and nothing on the drinks.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: So they want to make a shit ton of money
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: off of me and me walk away with little. I'm
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: going to see if I can negotiate that a little.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: But we are talking about Saturday, January 30th. If I
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: don't sell 50 tickets after I sign the contract, they
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: cancel it. But one bridge at a time. So yeah,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Feinstein's maybe January 30th, a Saturday at 7 o'clock. But
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: we're going to, I haven't signed the deal yet. Once
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: I sign it, we'll see. Because if I sold 100
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: tickets at $ 40 each, that's $ 4, 000, they would get I
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: would get $ 2, 600 of that. It's going to cost me
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: almost $ 1, 000 to come to San Francisco, get a hotel room,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: you know, the whole thing. So then I'd get $ 1, 600,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: which is not bad, but at the same time, will
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: I sell 100 tickets? So anyway, a lot to think about.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: But maybe January 30th at Feinstein's. We'll see. Meanwhile, down below,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: two things. Do you feel badly for people who build
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: houses right next to the ocean and then they get
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: swallowed up by the sea? And What is on your
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: bucket list? What is something you want or some experience
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: you'd like before you die? I mean, really, not just flippantly,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: but something you've like always wanted and just don't want
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: to go out without having it. For me, it's a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Hasselblad camera, a 907X with a digital back and a lens.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: It's $ 10, 000, so I'll probably never get it. But what
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: is the one thing that you want Is it a trip?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Is it a house? A boat? A car? Is it
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: moving to a new country? What is it? Let me know.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: I am Carell. Be who you want to be. I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: wish I was Oprah and could make it come true
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: for you all. I really do. I wish I could
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: get all these things, these comments, and then pick some
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: and make them happen. That would be so cool. That
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: would give me joy to grant all your wishes. That
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: would give me great joy to grant your wishes.
