  Speaker 2: it's show side, don't kid.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Alrighty, this is the Carl Show. I am Corel, so
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: very glad you are joining me. Let's get situated on
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: this Thursday, February twenty sixth All right, there's so much
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to talk about today. I can't wait to do it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to get to it, all right. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I start my day every day with an email and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I love this email and I am going to share
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: it with you because I think it's worth sharing, Okay,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: And that is the day in history, and you know
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: it sort of gives you a little perspective of I
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: think it's important to remember things that have happened. Right,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: so today in history and our way back, let's go
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to the wayback machine. In nineteen ninety three, so thirty
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: three years ago, the World Trade Center was bombed for
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the first time. I know you all remember that. It
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: was a terrorist bomb that exploded. Remember down in the basement.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: They did arrest people, they did get tried for that,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad about that. But that happened today in
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: nineteen thirty three. In twenty twelve, fourteen years ago, Trayvon
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Martin was killed in Florida today. I know you all
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: remember his name, Trayvon Martin. It was I stand your
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: ground sort of case. His crime was being black and
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: eating skittles. I'd like to say Florida has grown and
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: changed since then. Notice I said, I'd like to say
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it hasn't. But you know, it's important to keep the
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: memory of people alive. And Trayvon Martin today died for
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: no reason fourteen years ago. Then in eighteen thirteen, Robert A. Livingston,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: aka the Chancellor from the American Revolution died. Christopher Marlowe
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: in fifteen sixty four was baptized today. In nineteen thirty eight,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the National Dollar Stores Strike began in San Francisco's Chinatown.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: That was a very big deal actually, and they wanted,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, better conditions, better work. Same as one hundred
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: years later. Basically, nineteen twenty nine, the Grand Teton National
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Park was established, Which is fun to say say it
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Grand Teton. It sounds like you're talking about Dolly Parton
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and Titons. But today, in nineteen twenty nine, long before Dolly,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: the park was established. In nineteen seventy four, Nike received
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a patent for waffle sold trainers, which were literally invented
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on a waffle iron, and that was in nineteen seventy four.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety, Sandinistas defeated the Nicaraguan elections, or defeated
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: in the Nicaraguin elections. That was a good thing. In
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four, the last US Marines left Bay Route.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I remember that I was only twenty two. In nineteen nineteen,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the Grand Canyon was designated a national park. Today it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: just one hundred and fifty miles that way for me.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: In nineteen sixty eight, in the Vietnam War, mass graves
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: were discovered in Hugh and in nineteen seventeen, President Wilson
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: learned of Zimmerman's Telegram, which was crucial to World War One.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: In nineteen thirty five, Hitler authorized the founding of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: reich Lufwaffe, which I believe was their air support correct
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the Louf Waffa, and in nineteen forty five US troops
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: recaptured the Philippine island of Corrigor. I would say the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: biggest things from today are the Grand Canyon and trayvon Martin,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and of course the bombing of the World Trade Center,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and it's when I you know, read these things every morning.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It reminds me of how cyclical everything is. That you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: like the old song are saying everything old is new again,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: because you know, we've got so much of this going
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: on today, it just seems like some of these things
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: never stop. Right, all right, when we come back, there
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: is a crisis in this country. Many of you already
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: know it. You don't have to be told, and no
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: politician is talking about it, no one's offering solutions, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: it's getting worse every single day, and it's a humanitarian
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: crisis of the biggest, just the biggest. And so we're
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: gonna talk about it, uh, And I'd like to see
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: your comments too when we come back and start talking
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: about it, because I know, I know this topic is
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: going to hit home for so many of you on
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: one side of it or the other. And so we're
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: going to talk about the biggest crisis facing America. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: of course Donald Trump would never talk about it, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Congress won't talk about it, but we're going to talk
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: about it right here. And it's not what you think
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: it is, by the way, I guarantee you now what
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you think it is. So we'll talk about that and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: so much really corell dot com daily.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: You're missing out. Get the podcast videos and the blug
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: including recipes at really corell dot com. That's really k
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: A r e l dot com.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Show Time is here. No time to fear. Correll is
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: so near because show time is here.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So on with the show.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Let's give it a go. Carrella is the one that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you need to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Know, alrighty, Yesterday my sister called me eighteen times. As
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you know, on Friday the thirteenth, she had brain surgery
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: to remove a malanoma I'm sorry, I'm men in geoma,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: which no one saw coming, and it has altered her.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: She would say that it hasn't, but it has. She's angrier.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: She's very quick to anger, and she forgets. She'll call you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: She called me yesterday, Oh I got my oxygen fixed. Okay, great,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you fixed it. An hour later she calls
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: just want to let you know I fixed my oxygen.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: So obviously her short term memory has been affected and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: she's quick to anger. Now, a lot of you know
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that I had to go out there two weekends in
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: a row, and so many of you helped with the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: expenses in fact I didn't because of the trips. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: didn't know how I was going to fix my motorcycle,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: which is one of my main sources of transportation, my
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: MP three, it needs a nineteen hundred dollars service because
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: that's where they get you. The bike's only twelve grand.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: It's over ten percent of that for the service. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: first six thousand mile service. They replaced belts, all the tires.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It's a big service. But I'm like, I don't have
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: nineteen hundred dollars. And then one of you came through
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: and made a donation to the to me to the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: show and said, look, this is more for you than
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the show, and I'm going to use most of that
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: for the motorcycle repair. But thank god so going out
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: there to see my sister for those two weekends cost
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of money I didn't have, and of course
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: my life had to be put on hold. I missed
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: a couple shows and all of that, and all day
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: every day was hospital and family and all that. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: now that I'm back, the phone calls all day every day.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I thought yesterday, if I had a regular job, I
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to take eighteen phone calls. But I
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: did and you know, I survived AIDS. I don't have HIV,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: but I survived HIV, and a lot of what I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: did during that time was caregiving. And then my parents
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: were both handicapped. My mother and near the end of
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: her life, I was a caregiver. And then when she
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: went into the nursing home, I was still a caregiver.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And this is a crisis in this country that no
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: one is talking about. Let me give you some staggering numbers. Okay,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: there's three hundred and thirty five million people, give her
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: take in the United States. That was twenty twenty four.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: By the way, we now know it's more like three
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty million people in the United States. Although
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I will tell you this last year was the first
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: year that more people left the United States than came.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: We had a net two hundred minus two hundred thousand
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: last year. More people left the US than came to
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the US last year for the first time in our history.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And it's directly because of Donald Trump. And it's not immigrants,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: and it's not undesirables. It's people that we want to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: be here, paying taxes and such. But they left. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the population is about three hundred and forty million. Of that,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: fifty one percent is over the age of forty fifty
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: one percent, about one hundred and seventy million age fifty
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: and over thirty six percent age sixty and over twenty
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: three percent, or seventy seven million people age seventy over
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: eleven percent, or thirty seven million age eighty and over
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: four percent, which is thirteen to fourteen million. By twenty
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: thirty four, which is only seven years, Americans over sixty
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: five will for the first time outnumber those under the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: age of eighteen. Let me repeat in just seven years
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: or wait for eight years. In just eight years, Americans
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: over sixty five will outnumber those under eighteen. Now approximately
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: fifty three million people or about fifteen or one in
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: five adults. One in five adults are unpaid family caregivers.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: One in five are unpaid family caregivers. Unpaid caregiving is
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: valued at six hundred billion dollars a year. The caregiver
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to elder ratio is shrinking as the population ages. There
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: is not enough younger people to take care of the
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: older people. Medicare, which is what most people are on,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: does not cover long term custodial care. It covers short
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: term rehab and limited skilled nursing care. It does cover
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: intermittent home healthcare, but not eight hours a day every day,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: and it does not pay for assisted living. Medicaid will
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: pay for long term nursing home care, but the individuals
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: must spend down their assets first, So before Medicaid will
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: pay for you to be in a nursing home, you
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: have to sell your house, liquidate your assets, all of
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: that unless you set up an irrevocable medical trust. Middle
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: class families often fall into a financial gap before qualified.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: They have too much money for Medicaid and therefore it
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't pay. So no caregivers at home, and unless you're destitute,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: no long term care in a nursing home, and one
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in five Americans are already unpaid caregivers. Now in the UK,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: home care is publicly funded. District nurses visit every day
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: at no charge. Long term care is subsidized. Social services
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: assesses and coordinates the care, and families are involved but
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: not solely responsible. There is long term housing for seniors
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that are up and able to take care of themselves
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: for free. Now in America we have higher rates of
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: depression and anxiety increase cardiovascular risk due to chronic stress,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: caregiver disruption and lost income, retirement savings, depletion, and strain
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: on marriage and family relationships. How many of you have
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: experienced that we got to move mom in, we got
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: to move dad in, we got to move sis in,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, your relationship goes to health.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: This is a crisis facing the wealthiest country in the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: world because we are making our citizens choose between financial stability, exhaustion,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and elderly care. And we are doing nothing, absolutely nothing
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: to support those one in five people that are now caregivers.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And that is going to see which over the next
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: eight years to three in five people will be unpaid caregivers. Now,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you this is a topic near and
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: dear to my heart because I have seen the places
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: that we put our elderly and they are disgusting. They
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: are disgusting. Particularly now, look my friend Oscar who passed away.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: His family could afford eighteen thousand dollars a month and
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: they put an Oscar went to a fabulous assisted living home,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: had his own little apartment, he could bring his cat.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: They had a restaurant downstairs, a bar, a courtyard, they
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: had a movie theater, it was not a bad place
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to spend a year and a half before he died.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: It cost the family over two hundred thousand dollars, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Oscar had it in savings and didn't have to sell
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: his house or any of that. If you don't have
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: ten or twenty thousand dollars. It was reported that Wendy
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Williams was paying forty thousand dollars a month, which is obscene.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: If you don't have that, you are in a hell
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: hole three to a room, bad nursing care because they're overworked,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: and you basically die in squalor. You know, and families
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: every single day are faced with the dilemma, what do
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: we do? I don't want mom or grandma to be there,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: but they can't live with me. There are people that
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: give up their careers in their forties to take care
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of their parents. My friend Emily Johnson is now a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: caregiver for her mom and dad. They're independent, they live
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: in their own home, but she takes them to all
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the doctor's appointments everywhere. Now, look, family is family, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I know in Mexico this isn't even a question because
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: they take care of their elderly. You know, family is family,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, having an elder that needs
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: care can destroy families, destroy careers, destroy savings account Look,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Eric Danes's family is coming under attack because they had
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to GoFundMe. Oh, he's a famous, rich star. He's they
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: spend all of his money on the als because insurance,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: even his insurance sag aftra. I'm sure that's what he had.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Even his insurance would not cover everything, and so they
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: had to, you know, go out of pocket. And a
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: million doesn't last the way a million used to. When
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: one think about it, forty thousand dollars a month, twenty
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars a month for care, A million ain't gonna
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: last you that long. And so no one is talking
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: about this crisis. I mean, you saw the numbers. By
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: twenty thirty four, Americans over sixty five will outnumber people
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: under eighteen. Right now, fifty one percent of the country's
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: over forty right now, right now, we have about twenty
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: three percent over the age of sixty and eleven percent
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: over the age of seventy. And those numbers are only
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: going to keep growing. They're not going to stop. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: what are we doing to make sure these people age
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: with dignity? That they stay in their homes as long
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: as they can. We should be expanding medicare to allow
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: at home care every day, like in the UK. In
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the UK there are people that have three nurses a day.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: They come for breakfast, fix them breakfast, day with them
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: for two hours, then come for lunch, then come for dinner.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: We don't have that here unless you pay for it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: In the UK they have assisted living that is free.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: They get a one bedroom apartment and is it like
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: a glam place. No, but it's not squalor and there
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: are nurses there that help them with their medications. We
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: act like when you reach a certain age, it doesn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: matter what happens to you anymore. Fuck you, you're eighty,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: you know, live where you can live, live how you
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: you know? We ignore aging in this country. We are
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: obsessed with longevity. We are obsessed with life extension, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: quality of life once your life is extended, we're not
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: so into that. There are billionaires spending fortunes on how
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: to live to one hundred instead of funding the care
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: for people that are alive now at eighty eighty five, ninety. Look,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: it's one of my biggest fears. I know. It's one
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: of yours. No one wants to be a burden to
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: their family. Nobody does, and so it's a huge, huge fear.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: It is for me, I'm sure it is for you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: You think, well, I'll just kill myself. What a horrible
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: thing that American seniors face, and they do, by the way,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: many American seniors, when they reach a certain age and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: care level, kill themselves so they don't have to go
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: through it. You live and work your entire life in
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: the wealthiest country in the land, only to face an
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: old age of poverty, deprivation, or no care. That's where
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: we are, and that is absolutely tragic. Are there any
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: bills being put forth to handle that? No? Is there
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: any infrastructure being built in all of our cities, nursing homes,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: assisted living facilities that aren't privately run.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: No.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Is long term care insurance readily available and affordable? Nope?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: What do we expect these people to do? Well? The
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: answer there is pretty much die. Don't be a burden.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Die and the people who take care. You're saying, I've
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: been called that countless time. I'm Michael, what am I
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: supposed to do? It's family, it's a friend. But the
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: people out there and you know who you are. It
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: takes large portions of your day to care for another love,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: whether it's stopped by someone's house a couple of times
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a day or you have someone living with you.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: No show.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: All right, we are back. I was taking a moment
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: of pause there because this topic really does mean a
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: lot to me. Hey, it is my biggest fear. I'm
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: alone right now, you know. I was watching Catching Up
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: on NCIS last night Origins. I like the lead guys.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: He's hot as hell. And I don't mean the guy
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that plays Gibbs, although he's hot as hell too. I
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: like Gibbs's boss because he looks like an eighties guy,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: long hair, mustache, smokes a cigarette. I mean the Marborough man.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: He looks like the Marboro man. I was also catching
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: up on land Man last night. I hate Taylor Sheridan,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I do, I do, but I like some of his shows.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I like Landman. Although I was watching Landman and I thought,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: what an homage to oil and we shouldn't be glorifying this.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: But in Landman, Sam Elliott plays Billy Bob Thornton's father,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Sam Elliots, who's eighty one and still fuckable if he
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: can get it up. And he's in a home, he's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: in assisted living, and he hates it. He hates it.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: And there's a scene in episode six where Sam Elliott
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: breaks down and cries because he can't get out of
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: the pool. He can't, you know, do this, He can't
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: do that, and he hates his life in assisted living.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: This topic is starting to permeate all kinds of pop
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: culture because it's growing every day, and every day more
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: and more families, rich, poor, and everywhere in between are
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: facing the crisis of what do we do with mom
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: and dad? What do we do with grandma? What do
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: we do with my mom? What do we do with
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: my spouse? And it's not just aging, it's what if
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: someone gets a disability and suddenly can't walk? Can't you know?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I mean I was at the ICU with my sister,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: and there are people in those rooms whose lives have
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: suddenly changed like all together, Like my sister. My sister
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: should have home health care right now. She should not
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: be at home alone eight hours a day as Tim
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: goes off to work. She just shouldn't be. She should
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: have people. And I asked her if she wanted to
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: come here, and she said no, I can't make her,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: and I'm you know, and I got to tell you,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I'm glad she didn't. It would have totally changed my life.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I would have done it, but I don't want to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: do it. So I look at this and I think
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: this is what government should be solving. These are the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: kinds of issues that government should be assisting in. Stay
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: out of a woman's right to choose, stay out of
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: gay and trans and buy issues. Let's go to the
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: issues that affect all of us. You know, we've had
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a bunch of maga in here of late. And I
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: will tell you this. This issue affects maga and non
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: maga alike. It affects Democrats, independents, liberals, leftist, rightist, mega,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it effects it affects fascist, It affects everybody. Donald Trump
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: should be in a home. We are paying for assisted living.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: The White House has become an assisted living facility on
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: our dime because he needs care. You know, I joked,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I have a Donald Trump bruise right here? Do you
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: see it? I did not get blood drawn. I don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: know what I did. I must have hit it right there.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Do you see it. There's a bruise right there, but
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: it's right where Donald Trump gets his bruises. I must
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: have hit it. I don't know how I did it,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: But I'm at the age where you get bruises and
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: you don't know how the fuck they got there. It's like,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: what the hell? How many of you can relate? You
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: wake up and you go, wait a minute, that was
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: in there yesterday? What did I do? You know? I mean,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm at that age. And so we need a better
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: policy for the aging of America. And if Gavin wins,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I am going to stay on him even more than
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: gay and lesbian rights. I am going to badger him
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: about better aging policies for America. We can afford it
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: this country. If we've got ten billion dollars to give
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: to the Board of Peace for Gaza, imagine what would
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: have happened if we could dump ten billion dollars into
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: for the aged. Imagine that we've got the money. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: we owe these people. These are the people that established,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: that fought the wars, that did these are We owe
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: these people a debt, and that debt is to let
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: them age out gracefully and not in squalor three to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: a room having to smell the other person shit. Believe me,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: when my mom was in the nursing home. I cried
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: every day because I couldn't afford to put her in
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a better place. I thought, here, I am on KGO radio,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: you know, here, I am on this big ABC station,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: and I can't afford to put my mom in better healthcare.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: That ate at me. I had a four bedroom house.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: She could have lived in my home. I did not.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: She needed more care than I could give. My mom
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: didn't want me changing her diaper. She didn't want me
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: seeing her with a catheter and having to change it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: And I couldn't afford a nurse to be there with
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: her when I was gone doing radio or gone filming
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a TV show or whatever. I didn't have the money.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: And so she went to Alamitos Belmont on Fourth Street
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: in Long Beach and shared a room with two other people,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: nice people. Well one of them died, but you know,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: but still she had delay there in bed, share, the TV, share,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: the nursing. I'm sorry that made me sad reflecting on that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: One of my regrets.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Jane Fonda said something yesterday to Michelle Obama which has
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: really stuck with me. Michelle said, why aren't you afraid
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: of aging and dying and Jane Fonda said, no, I'm
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: not afraid of either. And Michelle was like, you're not
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: afraid of dying. She goes, no, I'm afraid of dying
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: with regrets. And that was powerful. She said, most people
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: aren't afraid of dying, they're afraid of dying with regrets.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: She goes, so, zero through thirty one part of life,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: thirty through sixty another part of life, sixty on another
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: part of life, and she goes, So, when I turned sixty,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I had to learn a to forgive myself that's a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: hard one, and b to live with no regrets because
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I don't want to die like my father, Henry Fonda,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: who obviously had a lot of regrets. She didn't go
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: into that, but she said he died with a lot
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: of regret. Well, I have to forgive myself now that
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I've turned sixty for not being able to provide better
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: for my mom. I just I have to forgive myself
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: for that and a lot of other sins, but that's
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: one of them. What about you, what's your long term
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: care plan? Are you a caregiver right now? I'd love
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: your comments down below about your experience and your fear.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Let's have a dialogue about this, let's talk.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.

  Speaker 6: You're listening to the corell cast you home, George writing
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: you crazy?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: No, you know. Someone in the chatroom said, Coron, now
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: we are getting old. We are I am, I'm sixty
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: three and to someone eighty, they'll say that's not old.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: To Jane Fondas, she'd go, God, I wish I was
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: sixty three. Cher would say, I wish I was sixty three.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: But it's older to where you wake up and you
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: have a bruise. You don't know where it came from.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: You know, when I brought up in CIS Origins, because
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Gibbs character said that he is so used to being
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: alone that when someone good comes into his life, his
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: habit is to push them away because he's just used
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to being alone. I worried that's become me because I
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: don't want to be alone, particularly as I age, but
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: at the same time, the thought of someone else living
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: with me and sharing my bed and all of that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I'm like, E. Of course, if I met the right person,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: that would all go out the window. But people today
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: are not having kids, And what they don't realize is
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: if you don't have kids, like so many gays, we
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: don't have kids. If you don't have kids, you're not
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: gonna have anyone to take care of you. Look, say
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: what you will about my niece Infinity, I barely know her.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I know her much better now after the last two weeks.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Prior to that, the last time I saw Infinity was
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: my mother's funeral. My mother died in two thousand and three,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: so twenty three years ago is the last time I
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: really saw her or spoke to her. Don't know her husband,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: don't know her kids, don't know. I didn't know when
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: her daughter died that she had a twenty five year
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: old daughter. Okay, so I don't know my biologicals. Heather
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: and Jake I know, I know everything. I text them
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: every day. My biologicals I don't, and I didn't always
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: have a favorable view of them. Many had drug problems,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: substance problems, incarceration, just not people that are in my life.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Of course that was judgmental and wrong, But when it mattered,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: when Infinity and Hope were needed to be with their
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: mom because of the brain tumor, they were fucking there.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Infinity was there all day, every day with me, which
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: is why I got her the hotel room and everything,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: because she couldn't afford it. She had just buried her daughter.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Because I needed her there. I had to come back
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: and be with you, and so it was important for
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: me to have someone with Roseanne, but I couldn't be there.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: So what a blessing that one of her children could be.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm forever indebted to Infinity for showing up. And look,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: she's got her problems and the whole thing, but you
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: know what, she showed up. She was there, and she
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: took the abuse that Roseanne doled out, because Roseanne is
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: in the angry phase now and doling out abuse. I
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: nearly left on Sunday when she was telling me, fuck you,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: it's my own life. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: do what I fucking want and nothing you can say
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: can change that. And fuck it if I die, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: all this other stuff I thought, I just spent two
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: weeks and three thousand dollars to keep you alive, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: this is the attitude, this is the thanks I get.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: But I realized it was the brain tumor, but infinity
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: and I sat there and took it and still cared
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: for her. So her daughter. She owes her daughter a big, big,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: huge round of thanks for dropping everything in Tucson and
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: going over to Phoenix. DS today aren't having kids. Who's
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: going to do that for them? Robots? I'm serious? Who
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be the generation of caregivers for gen X,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: gen Y, gen Z, not gen X. We're all because
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: we're basically baby boomers. Gen X is the next big
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: aging generation. I'm on the cusp of gen X and
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: baby boomers. I was born in sixty two. Some baby
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: boomer has it ending in sixty two, some in sixty four.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: But I'm a gen xer. Basically, my attitude is such
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: of a gen X or not a baby boomer. I
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: have nothing in common with a ninety year old. But
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: who's going to be there for them? They're not having kids,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Their dogs aren't gonna be able to take care of them.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Their friends will be as old as they are, so
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: who's going to take care of them? That's part of
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: why you have kids. I have no children, and I
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: don't know that my nieces or nephews will want to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: take care of me. As I think I'm worried I
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: have a back injury. I may be in a wheelchair
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: one day.
• 35:10

  Speaker 5: the show.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Let's give it a go.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Carrill is the one that you need to know.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: You know, we laugh about it. We'll be lucky if
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: we have robuts to take care of us. I mean
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: that I watched Bo Centennial. Man. We'll be lucky if
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: there's care robuts, because at least we'll get care. Because
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Corporate America, once you're no use to them, you're fucking
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: no uth. If you can't work, work and contribute back
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: to them and give them money, then you're of no
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: use even when you're old. Corporate America runs these care homes,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: and if you can't give them ten grand a month,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: twenty grand a month. If your insurance won't pay them
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: all these large sums, then you're no fucking use to them.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Get out, die in the street. There's someone in the
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: chat room, Robert. He's been flying from Portland to southern
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: California every month since August and staying one to three
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: weeks to take care of his mom. But finding twenty
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: four to seven help is tough, is it ever? Especially
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: over night help, that's nearly impossible. And do you trust them?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: And who are they? And then they have life issues
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and oh yeah, not didn't mean to make this the
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: whole show. There's a lot else going on in the world,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: but it is a topic that deserves all of our attention.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: And I worry. I worry, you know. The White House
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Press Secretary said that the true social is Donald Trump's
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: official that he does it. It's policy. It's like the
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: United States speaking. And the night after the night of
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: the State of the Union address, he got mad at
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Eli r Oman and the other Taibi. I think it
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: is because they shouted at him. I mean, she's from
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Minnesota and when he did his immigration thing, she shouted him,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: you're killing Americans. Because he is and that night, while
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: pumped up probably on adderall imagine this, you're the president
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: of the United States. There are so many things you
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: could do for the good, like established long term care
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: for seniors, especially if you're fucking eighty. You know, there's
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: so much good you could do, and so much unific
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: case and positivity that you could spread. What does he
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: choose to tweet about at two in the morning that
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: he wants those two seated congress people and Robert de
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Niro deported. He actually wants American citizens kicked out because
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: they challenged him, because they don't speak well of him.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: He then mentioned Rosie o'donald again, being in Dublin mine
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: in her own damn business. But he mentioned her again
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: because she lives rent free in his head, why because
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: she made her disdain for him known. So here is
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: this petty, old demented fuck sitting around on our dime
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: at two in the morning texting he wants seated congress
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: people that are Americans deported, that he wants Robert de
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Niro kicked out. Now, this is the same man that
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: has pardoned drug dealers, embezzlers, sexual offenders. This is the
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: same man that is hiding from the Epstein files. We
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: now have proof in the New York Times that Donald
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Trump was accused by a woman of sexually molesting her
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: when she was under age, and all of the follow
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: up documents are missing, are gone. Donald Trump has so
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: many sexual abuse allegations against him in the Epstein files
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: that we are not seeing. He didn't mention them at
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: the State of the Union, and everybody in this country
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: wants them released unredacted except for the names of the victims.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: That's it. There should only be ten or twelve redactions,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: or one hundred or two hundred, however many victims there are.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: There should not be reactions of any man mentioned in
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: those documents, but there is. Does he want them kicked
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: out of the country? Bill Gates just acknowledged affairs as
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: well as apologized for being in the Epstein files. Is
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: he saying Bill Gates should be thrown out of the country. No,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Just the two Muslims that are in Congress that challenged him,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: and Robert de Niro, who will take no shit from him.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: That's what's occupying in his brain. Not you or I,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Not the struggles that people like Robert's facing having to
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: fly from Portland to southern California not being able to
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: find care. He didn't care about that. He doesn't care
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: about the people lying three four five in a room
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: that need assisted living and care, that need medications that
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: aren't covered, and care about them. Yesterday I went to
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Albertson's to pick up a prescription. The only prescription drugs
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I take for my nose, I have rosetia, and then
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: my blood pressure pill because they want to keep it low,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: and it was one eighteen over sixty this morning. They
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: want to keep it low for my iorda and I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: bought just vet fruits, just fruit. In fact, the guy
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: at the counter was like, you eat a lot of fruit.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I said, I eat two cups of fruit today. How
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: much do you eat? And he said not two cups?
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I said, are you aware that every American should eat
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: two cups of fruit today? How much fruit do you
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: all eat? I mean this, how much fruit do each
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: and every one of you eat? Because if you're not
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: eating two cups a day, you're not eating enough. Get
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: two eight ounce cups like I have porcelain, you know,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: little bowls that are eight ounces, and every night fill
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: those up with fruit, put them in the fridge. For
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: the next day and mix it up. I have bananas, strawberries, kiwi, melon, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: oh yes, honey, oranges, clementines, the little clementines. I ate
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: two of those a day. I eat a banana a day,
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: two clementines a day, a kiwi a day, probably six
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: or eight strawberries a day. Oh yeah, every day. Two
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: cups of fruit. Why don't you you need to please.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Whether you're vegan or not, doesn't matter. Two cups of
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: fruits a day. And so I bought my fruit for
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: the week, forty four dollars for fruit. I bought a watermelon,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, a cantalope. I thought of the watermelon because
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: there was this guy slapping all these watermelons and it
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: made me laugh to that sound like he was slapping
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: somebody's ass. He was like this seventy year old guy,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: and he was smacking these watermelons and then he'd put
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: one down, and so I think he just liked smacking
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: the damn watermelons. I was like, you better smack that
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: shit up, honey, he's smacking the watermelons. So I bought
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: a cantalope, a pineapple, three apples, a package of strawberries,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: a package of blueberries, a bunch of bananas, a clamshell
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: of kiwis which was six dollars for like seven or
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: eight kiwis. God I wish I was still in doctor
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Danielle and David Zucker's world and that they still owned
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: a kiwi farm, forty plus dollars for fruit for fruit.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Between the COPEI on the asayic acid which they give
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: me for my nose, it's a cream, and the Doc's
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: of cycling, which they give me for my nose. Between
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: the copays on that and the fruit, I spent one
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty dollars at Albertson's for two medications and
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: fruit one hundred and twenty dollars. Donald Trump could be
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: doing something about that, but he's not. But he's not.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: He refuses. Instead, he wants to kick people out of
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: the country for challenging him, you know, which is just ridiculous. Meanwhile,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: more Epstein files more complaints against him for sexual molestation
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: that were never followed up. This is the country we
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: live in now, where the real problems like affordability of
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: good food, like aging and how to take care of
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: our elders and We know it is cheaper and better
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: for the person to age in place, meaning at home.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: We know that it's cheaper to provide assisted living for
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: people at home, to have nurses in eight three nurses
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: a day, eight hour shifts. That's twenty four hours a day,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: three nurses a day. We know that having these people
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: have three nurses a day at home is cheaper in
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the long run than having assisted living facilities. We won't
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: do it. They do it in Europe, they do it
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: in Ireland, they do it in France, they do it
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: innother but we won't do it here. And yet we
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: know it's they live longer, better lives, and die with dignity.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: We know this. Eighty four percent of Americans die in
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: a hospital. That's only a twentieth century thing and twenty
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: first century thing. Prior to the twentieth century, it was flipped.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Eighty plus percent of people died at home. Now it's
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: totally flipped. And one half one half of the total
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: amount that you will spend on healthcare in your life,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: half fifty percent is spent in your last five years
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: of life. One half of the entire medical bills for
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: your entire life occur in your last five years. It
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to be that way. It's not that way
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: in other countries. But we've got to make politicians care.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: We have to bring these issues up at town hall
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: meetings by calling our senators and our congress people and
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: saying I care about how we're not paying attention to
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: our aging population and their care. They should listen to
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: the show. We should send all of the politicians this
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: show because I care, and I know you do too.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: You know I know that you guys care. Oh see
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: in the chat room, Oh yep, none of you eat
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: enough fruit? Yep, Sandy, you're not alone, She says, she
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: has no kids. She has no idea what they'll do.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what I'll do. I'm not gonna
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: burden my nieces or nephews with me. I have no
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: idea what I'm going to do. Who else is in

  Speaker 3: broken queen, old broken queen. See if I had money,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: that's the other thing. As you age, you are alone

• 49:10
  Speaker 3: she got the money. Madonna d twenty nine year old,

  Speaker 3: I don't loneliness. We talked about caregiving being a crisis
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: among seniors. In the UK. They have a Minister of
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Loneliness not making this up, and the department that he
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: runs it's a woman. Actually. The department that she runs
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: sends people out to the rural areas of London and
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: other places to find seniors that are isolated and a loone.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: If you will live five years longer, if you have
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: a social life, five years longer, if you have a
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: social life. In America we have a senior loneliness crisis.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Many seniors are lonely. There's no activities for them. One
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: say that you should go to the gay center. I went,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: and I went to their senior men's groups. What a
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: bunch of old fucks. They want to sit around at
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: you know, Macromas. I'm like, let's go to Europe. Let's
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: go on an adventure. Let no, no, no, yeah, I

  Speaker 1: Stay no, it's shoes.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm back. Someone said, Corell, you're in Vegas,
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: start gambling. I thought about that. I thought about taking
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: two hundred dollars a month, or one hundred dollars a month,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: since I am rich, and saying this is going to
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: be a gambling money. I like to play blackjack and slots.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Those are the two things I like. I'm not good
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: at them, but I like it. I thought, well, if
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: you played one hundred dollars a month, ultimately you'd win
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: something sometime, you know, you'd Oh, sorry, the weather has changed.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: It's like seventy gonna be eighty today. It's seventy out

• 51:48
  Speaker 3: nose is running. And where is she? Where are you at? Gurly,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: she's she's aging. The vet proposed an endoscope while we
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: do her dental, but only if insurance will pay for it. It's
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: three thousand dollars and he said, you know, that would
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: be the time and we could see why she's maybe
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: doing her mouth chomping. Maybe it's acid reflux, et cetera.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: See why she hacks sometimes she cats it, you know,
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: when a dog shouldn't do it often, not once a day,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: but she does it now maybe once a day in

• 54:36
  Speaker 3: but go see a movie at a theater because they're
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: going away. And if Paramount or Netflix by Warner Brothers,
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: they're gonna go away even more. We're probably the last
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: generation that's gonna have movie theaters. That's so sad. They'll
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: be niche, They'll be small, little niche things. But you
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: know they say niche will make you rich. So you
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: know who knows? So yes, Oh Phineas has a colonoscopy
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: on Monday, Well, your Sunday is gonna be hell. How
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: many of you know they We got to find a
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: better way for that. We want everyone to have a colonoscopy,
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: but the prep is so fucking horrible that most people
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: won't do it. I had one just what two years ago,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: now three years ago? I forget when, and oh my god,
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: the prep it was ugh. You know, they can do
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: them virtually now with CT but the only A you'll
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: get radiation and B they can't do a biopsy. So
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: the benefit of a real cour and you know you
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: don't have to have anesthesia to have them in fifty
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: percent of the world does not use anesthesia for a colonoscopy.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine fifty Europe, it is not commonplace to use.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: They'll give you a sedative, but they don't knock you out.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: In Europe, over half of the kolonoscopies are done without
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: any America is the number one for anesthesia when it
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: comes to colonoscopies other countries. Yeah, they keep your ass awake. Literally,
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gay, and that doesn't sound fun. I gotten. I debated.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: I was gonna do no anesthesia, but then they said
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: they also wanted to do an endoscope at the same time.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: I guess they wanted the tubes to meet in the middle,
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: and so you can't do an endoscope all awake. So
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: they knocked me out, and I realized that's how death is,
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: you know, When they knocked me out for the colonoscopy
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: and then I woke up and had no idea, the
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: sense of time or whatever, I realized, that's death. That's
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: how death is, you know. You just get knocked out
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: and that's it. You're gone. So I feel for you.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I feel for anyone that's having you know. And there
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: is a new prep that's a single pill, but it's
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: not about the amount of stuff you take, it's what
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: happens to you. Oh it was ugly. Oh there was
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: once where I didn't make it to the bathroom. That happens.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: They tell you wear clothes that you know. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: my day of prep to day. And I'm a vegan.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: And so for the week before you're supposed if you're
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: doing a colonoscopy, right, for the week before, you're supposed
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: to change your diet. And there weren't a lot. There
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: was tofu white rice and not much else that I
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: could eat. The three days before the colonoscopy. It was
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: like tofu white rice. I couldn't have my oat meal.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: I couldn't have Oh, there was so much that I
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: couldn't have. There are certain vegetables I couldn't have because
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: it can change the imaging. Oh yes, I don't you know.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: I know it's going to be time. I do a
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: color guard every three years. I know that's not one
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: hundred percent, but it's better. Even that is, you know
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: a little odd. I mean, think about it. Cola guard.
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: They send you that box you have to go in
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: your bathroom and literally scoop your poop into a jar.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: In the year twenty twenty six this. We've got people
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: in their bathroom scooping poops into jars and then you
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: mail it. You bring it to the upstor and hand
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: it to them, and you think I'm handing them a
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: box of my shit. It just send through the mail.
