  Speaker 1: Here no time to fear corral is so near because
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: showtime is here so.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: On with the show let's give it.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: A go corral is the one that you need to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: know now it's showtime.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump is meeting with the leaders of AI and
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: telling them to police themselves. We're going to tell you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: why that's a really bad idea, because the bigger threat
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: is already here and it's not being policed. And we
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: need to talk about it today.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Now it's true.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It is The Carell Show. I am Carell. So very
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: glad you are joining me. Happy September 30th, last day
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of the month. We made it through September. I made
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it through. We sure did. Today, in history, we have,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: let's see, Hoover Dam. That's right. My beloved Hoover Dam
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: today was dedicated for the first time and, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: was opened and And, of course, now it's in risk
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of closing because the water levels are dropping so low.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: There's talk of draining Lake Powell to fill Lake Mead,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: but we'll see what happens. And Trump is cutting water
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to Nevada and Arizona because he's an asshole and, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: got all kinds of stuff like that going on. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: we'll see how it turns out in the end. Where's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the thing that I'm looking for? I guess I knocked
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it on the ground. Okay, well, whatever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I guess. I guess. Okay, so that's going on. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I wanted to address, before we move on to other topics,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: because we addressed this the other day, but it really
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: has taken a life of its own, the ageism against
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Madonna and, well, anybody really. But the ageism, there are
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: now stories being done, oh, her family is concerned, she's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: disposed of the VMAs. They're acting like it was the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: debate where Joe Biden just went off the rails. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean- Yeah, she looked stiff. She did. I'm not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: going to sugarcoat that. She looked stiff. But that's because
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: she's 68 and had multiple dancer injuries. But saying, oh,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: someone come and get your meemaw. I mean, what the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: fuck is wrong with young people today? And I know
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I sound old, but now I know why the old
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: people used to say that. Because what the hell is
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: wrong with them? They are making fun of old people,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: telling old people to go away. They're treating us irrelevant. Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that's going to be really cute when they get old
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and they see what it's like. But they are literally treating,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: if you're over 50, you're just done. Retire, sell your
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: house so we can buy it. Get out of the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: workforce so we can have your job. Get out of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: our way. If the young people had their way today,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they would institute mandatory killing of old people once they
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: reached a certain age, like 70. Because to them, that's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: just like old I'm not making that up. If you
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: took a poll, should people 70 years of age be
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: done away with? I'm telling you they'd probably say yes.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: They are treating us like crap. No respect. They want
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: us to leave our jobs, to leave our houses. This
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous. It really is ridiculous. And it's hurtful. It's really,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: really hurtful. And so, you know, this ageism about Madonna
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: has got to stop. You know, it's got to stop.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And I don't care what you think of her. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: really don't. But it's not just her. You know, an
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: entertainer is allowed to entertain as long as they want to.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: If you don't want to watch them, don't watch them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: If it makes you uncomfortable, be uncomfortable. But, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for them to stop because you think they should? How presumptuous.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: How ageist. And, you know, come on. It's not like
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: she's out there with a walker, for the love of God.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: She's not on a respirator. There's not an oxygen hose
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: following her on stage. She's not carrying one of those
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Liberator stroller oxygen tanks with the cannula in her nose
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and around her ears. Okay? She's, you know... She's not
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: out there drinking Ensure in between breaks. The president's in
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a diaper, for the love of God. At least Madonna
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: is still continent, as long as that we know of.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, really. They act like she can't see or hear,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: like she's being led around the stage and on a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: walker and coming out in a wheelchair. And so what
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: if she was? So what if she wants to sing
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: like a virgin, strapped in a wheelchair, wearing a Baby
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Jane wig? If people are going to pay to go
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: see it, let them. I'm serious. Well, she shouldn't try
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to be sexy. Why? Because when you're 68, you don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: want to fuck anymore? Uh, excuse me. I should think
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: not being able to get pregnant would make you want
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to fuck all the more. So leave her. Oh, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: she's hanging out with Jennifer Garner and Charlie X. I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: hang out with people half my age. And so will
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: they when they get old. Lord have mercy. Oh, that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the most ridiculous. Just the most ridiculous going on. She's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: too old. Get your meme on.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: If you're not visiting reallycarell.com daily, you're missing out. Get
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes at reallycarell.com.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: That's reallycarell.com. You have to be proud with hatred.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, it's Carell. Stream You Have To Be Proud
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: wherever you get your music and let it fill you
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: with the pride it filled me in doing it. You
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: have to be proud.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And before I move on, can we just talk about
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the double standard? If you combine the ages of all
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: three Rolling Stones, you have a quarter of.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: A century, of a millennium. You have 250 years, okay?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: If you combine the ages of the Rolling Stones. Okay.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They have a quarter of a millennia old.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: 250 years. Mick Jagger's skin has forgotten what body it's on. Okay.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's like it's going towards a new zip code. It's just,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like he literally looks like he's melting.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying he needs a facelift. But I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: think insurance would cover his, actually, because it's a medical necessity.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Keith Richards can't even get a blood transfusion because there
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is no actual blood left in his body. It is
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: all drugs and alcohol. Okay? And they're men. So not
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: one person is out there tearing them down. Okay? Not one.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: They're all, yeah, Rolling Stones, great rock band. Yeah, I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: going to go see them. Yeah, God bless them. Literally.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Literally.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: If a strong wind happens during their show and they
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: fall down, there are six hips broken on stage right there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying they're frail, but I'm worried
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that Keith Richards is going to break his fingers on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the guitar strings. Okay? And you know they're wearing diapers
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: out there on stage. Mick Jagger doing all those squats
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and jumps, he's leaking. He's 80. He's leaking. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Debbie Harry, 80 years old. Ain't no one bitching at
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: her saying she should retire. But Madonna, oh, she's got
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to go away. It's just ridiculous. You know? And if
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you watch the VMAs, you would realize there is no
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: new talent in the world. Okay? I mean, really. What
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: filled the VMAs this year? Madonna opening. She opened the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: first one 43 years ago. Madonna opening. A tribute to Nirvana.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: A tribute to George Michael. Madonna winning all the awards.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, they might as well have just given Michael
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Jackson an award posthumously. I mean, really. So where's the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: new talent? Taylor Swift. She ain't new anymore. She's been
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: around 20, 25 years. Where's the new talent? Somber, that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: what they've got to offer. Some white, angry Swedish guy
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: standing in the middle of a bunch of Hitler youth,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that's what they got? That's the talent. Ray, R-A-Y-E, she
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is a talent of the new age. But the rest?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Some K-pop girl who I wasn't even sure if she
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: was singing or if she was real. She might have
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: been AI. Where's the talent? Where's the talent? They had
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to fill the show up with 70-year-olds. Next year, I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: sure it'll be an ode to U2, you know? I mean, truly.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Cher and U2 will be next year. I mean, because
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: there's no new talent. The music industry is not breeding
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: new talent because labels are no longer interested in artists.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: artist development. They're interested in one-hit wonders. Like, look, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: don't mean to... I'm going to get in trouble here.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I don't get this new Magnus Ferrell guy. Will Ferrell's son,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Magnus Ferrell. Now, he's cute. Very cute. Very, very cute.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Very fuckable. He's very cute. But his voice is about
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: as thin as Mick Jagger's skin. Okay? It's all, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: love you. And he sings high falsetto with a super
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: thin voice. I said I love you, girl. You're my
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: lovely girl.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I love you, girl.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: You're a girl I love. I love you, girl. Girl,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I love you. That's his bit. Come and be my girl.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to love you, girl. Come and be, come
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and be my girl. Oh, he's the next Robin Thicke.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: He's the next this or that. He's an R &
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: B superstar. No, if he weren't Will Ferrell's son and cute,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't be having a gig at all. His voice,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's thin. It's Sharon Osbourne thin. You know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's thin. It's Kelly Osbourne Finn. Kelly Osbourne.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Dear God, you can put a flashlight behind her and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: do a scan and do a whole x-ray. We just
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: put a flashlight behind her. And everyone's all raving about
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Magnus Farrell, Pharrell, Will Farrell, Magnus Farrell. Everybody's just beside
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: themselves raving about him. And his voice is like, oh,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I love you, girl. Like Prince without the soul and depth.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. Everybody, oh, they're loving him. I'm like, what? Really? Like, oh,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: my girl. My baby girl. I love you, girl. It's like, stop.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Good Lord. So anyway, that, you know. And you know
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: who wasn't there? Nicki Minaj. Or should I say Nazi Minaj?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: She changed her name. She's out there telling people to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: vote red. She can't vote. She's not an American citizen.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Her husband can't vote. He's a convicted sex offender. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the wife, the foreign-born wife of a convicted sex offender,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is out telling people to vote red. She can't vote,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and neither can her husband. And she's got her head
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: so far up Trump's scrotum because she wants a pardon
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: for her family, two of which are offenders. What a world.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: What a world. Good Lord. Okay. Let's get moving. Let's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: get moving. So AI, we know, will have the capability
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: to kill us. And a lot of the doubters are like,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: how is it going to kill us? What's it going
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to do? You're too stupid to understand. Okay? All of
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: us are. That's the point that all these skeptics don't get.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: We are creating something five million times smarter than we are.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Five million times smarter with all of the collective knowledge
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: of all time. The notion that we would be able
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to preempt or guess how it's going to take us
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: out is is just human hubris. We're not smart enough
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to figure that out. Well, how's it going to use aliens?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: How's it going to use androids? It could use your car, dude.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Your car has a computer in it. It could take
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: down all the flights in one second, like that guy
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: tried to do yesterday on that flight to Israel. It
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: could take down all the railways, all the flights, all
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the cars in one minute. One minute across the entire globe.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Take them all out. It could release toxins into the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: air by opening vents on things that aren't supposed to
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: be opened. It could create new viruses by telling the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: humans that it's actually a different kind of virus. It
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: would tell the humans and assure the humans, oh no,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this is a cure for this or this is a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: vaccine for that, when really it's a disease that's going
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to kill us. They're asking how something with 5 million
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: more intelligence than us will do away with us. We
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: don't know. That's the whole point. We're creating something so
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: smart it will outwit us and create new and interesting
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: ways to kill us. It may not use any currently
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: existing ways to kill us. It might create ways to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: kill us. bacteria, microphages, all kinds of... Well, how's it
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: going to do that it doesn't have hands? Yeah, it does.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: There are many robotic labs now. There are many laboratories
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that use robotics in rooms where humans can't go because
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of the risk of infection. But again, it will be
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: 5 million times smarter than a human. So how is
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: it going to do it? We don't know. That's the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: whole point. We are creating something unpredictable, five million times
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: smarter than us, that will have the ability to kill
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: us all. And what is Trump's answer? Let it regulate itself.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Let the companies that are creating it, that have a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: financial interest in it, let them police it. Oh, that's
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a really good idea. Why don't we also fire all
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the prison guards? why don't we just let the prisoners
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: patrol themselves? I mean, it's not like they need guardrails
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: or any kind of rules or structure. Just let them
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: patrol themselves. In fact, why don't we give it of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: all policemen? Why don't we just let the public police itself?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: We know the laws. We know when we're breaking a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: law and when we're not. So why don't we just
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: let the people police themselves? I'm sure that'll end well.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Why don't we do that? Because that's what he's saying.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And why don't we let all the major corporations just
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: police themselves? Why don't we just get rid of the EPA? Well,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: he has. Why don't we get rid of all kinds
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: of restrictions on food or anything? Let's just trust that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the companies aren't going to poison you. How about that?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: His policy is as stupid as he is. But let
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: me tell you why. a bigger threat is already here
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and proof that the self-policing does not work. Okay, proof.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The most, the most, the most detrimental and dangerous to society, technology,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: by far, is social media. Period. End of story. The
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: most dangerous thing to humanity currently on planet Earth is
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: social media. And we let social media, basically, now we're
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: starting to get involved, but for the longest time, for
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: 20 years, we let the companies not only police themselves,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: but made them immune to prosecution. Okay? We made them
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: immune to prosecution. Now, social media is like medicine. It
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: has very real side effects, documented real side effects. So
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: let me ask you, would you let your children or
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: your husband or your wife or your sister or your
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: brother take a drug that had as a side effect
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: depression and anxiety, lower well-being and life satisfaction, low self-esteem, envy,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and feelings of inadequacy, body dissatisfaction and disordered eating, sleep disruption,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: compulsive or problematic use, fear of missing out, and pressure
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to remain available. distraction and interference with school or work,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: displacement of exercise and offline activities, loneliness and social disconnection, cyberbullying, hate, threats, stalking, self-harm, suicide,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: sexual grooming, normalization of risky behavior, health misinformation, financial scams, fraud, poverty,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: privacy loss, reputational damage, political hostility, and distorted beliefs or perceptions.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Those are the medically documented side effects of social media.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Do you want to hear them again? Depression and anxiety,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: lower well-being and life satisfaction, low self-esteem, envy, feelings of inadequacy,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, sleep disruption, compulsive or problematic youths,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: fear of missing out and pressure to remain available, distraction
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: and interference with school or work, displacement of exercise. No
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: offline activities, loneliness, social disconnection, cyberbullying, hate, threats, stalking, self-harm, suicide,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: sexual grooming, normalization of risky behavior, health misinformation, financial scams, fraud,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: privacy loss, reputational damage, political hostility, and distorted beliefs. Social
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: media brought us Donald Trump. Joe Biden and social media
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: are the two reasons we have Donald Trump. Period. Both
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the first time and now. He never would have won
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the first time without help from the Russians on social media.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: He just wouldn't. The disinformation to this moment that is
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: spread on social media keeps MAGA in power. And it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: prevalent now. I saw a post this morning. China's inventing
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: a robot to gestate a baby, and by 2027, they'll
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: be able to carry it to term. That's a lie.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: It's been disproven. It's an internet myth. And yet, there
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: it was under a fact, one of these fun fact things.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: But it's not a fact. It's a lie. In fact,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: according to recent surveys, up to 60% of what you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: see online is now a lie. Not true. And yet,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: we let this exist, and we tell the companies to
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: go ahead and police yourself, even though these are the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: side effects. If social media were a drug, it would
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: not be allowed on the market.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It simply would not. Patreon. Patreon is the way.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: You have to be proud with hatred.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, it's Karel. You know, Pride Month was rough
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: this year. We had a lot of hate heaped upon
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other governments around
• 22:07
  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.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That's why when I was thinking of my next single
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: in June, I sat down and I wrote, you have
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: to be proud. You have to be proud with anger
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: so loud. Streaming everywhere. Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: We're going to win. All right, we are back. This
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: is my daily plea for patrons. Please go support the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: show at Patreon, P-A-T-R-E-O-N.com, Patreon.com. It's a lovely cause. Me,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I'm the cause. And please go support it. And I'm
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: worried about one of my listeners, two of my listeners.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I'm worried about Randy Radar. He has fallen off the radar,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and that scares me. I hope he's okay. And I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: am worried about Rachel because I haven't heard from Norm
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: whether she's okay or not. So I'm worried about two
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: listeners today. Isn't that weird to worry about two out
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of thousands of listeners? But Randy Radar has been a
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: great supporter of the show, and I'm really worried about him.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: He fell off the map. And a lot of my
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: listeners don't typically just fall off the map, go from
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: commenting every day and everything else to suddenly just not there.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: So that's concerning. Anyway, if you're not a patron, please
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: go support at patreon.com forward slash really corral. That's patreon.com
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: forward slash really corral. We really need your patronage to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: keep the show going. I wish I didn't. I wish
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: as a gay talk show host that's a liberal, a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: woke gay vegan, that there were just people lining up
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to sponsor me. But ask any gay pride organization or
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: any DEI program. No one wants to do it. It's funny.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: You would think the liberals would step up and really
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: support their media and their causes now more than ever
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: because the funding has been cut. Gay pride. You would
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: think all these pro-gay companies and everything would step forward
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and say, we'll make up the gap for you. But nope,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: they're not. They know we still support you. We're just
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: not going to write checks. Lord have mercy. Oh, oh, okay.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Rachel is good. She's back. Okay. She's hanging in there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Some medical issues pending. Okay. Well, I don't like to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: hear that, but okay. I want everyone to be well.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I just want everyone to be well. So if social
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: media were a drug, it would not be allowed on
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the market. And I know this firsthand. You all know
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I've been going through some emotional changes of late. It's
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: been very clear here on the show. And I discovered
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: yesterday one of the reasons why. is social media. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: tried to limit my Instagram to 15 to 30 minutes
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: a day because there's a way on the Mac you
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: can do that. And it doesn't work because it says
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: ignore limit. You can just hit ignore limit. And I'm like, oh,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I got to do research for my show. I got
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: to see what's happening online. I've got to know what
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: the trends are. I've got to know, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Social media makes me sad now. Because it makes me
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: think everyone around me is more successful than me. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: it says right here, depression, anxiety, lower well-being and life satisfaction,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: low self-esteem, envy, and feelings of inadequacy. I'm having all
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: of those. I really am. I don't have body dissatisfaction,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: although I do need to lose weight. I guess problematic
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: use if I set a 15-minute limit and I can't
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: stop after that. Fear of missing out. Distraction, interference with
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: school or work, I do exercise. Loneliness, I'm very lonely,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: socially disconnected. I get hate. I get threats. I get
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: terrible comments that are demeaning and make me feel bad.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: What else? That's it. So that's how it affects me.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: It does. And I make up this lie to myself that, oh, no,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I have to use social media. In my job, it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: like reading a newspaper. But I don't have to use
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: social media. I have to be on social media. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: have to have snippets of the show on social media.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: But I myself don't have to scroll through and read
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: social media. I don't. But I do. I do it.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And I can't seem to stop. And it is really
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: affecting my life. My self-esteem is so low right now,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm not doing anything. The other day, I thought,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: pick a city and retire. Nobody, you know, on social media,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: they make fun of my teeth all the time. Every day. Yesterday,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: someone posted a comment. No one cares about someone with
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: your opinion having your teeth. Every day, my lisp and
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: my teeth are attacked on social media. Every day. Every day.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I think about that actress yesterday. who was on White
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Lotus and they attacked her teeth. They attack my teeth
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: every single day. In Great Britain, my teeth would be excellent.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I can't have braces. I have a tongue thrust. If
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I get braces and pull my teeth down, my tongue
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: will push them right back up. I could get veneers,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: not the pop-ons, but real veneers for $ 23, 000. That's how
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: much it would cost to fix my smile. $ 23, 000. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: don't have it. So I go to the dentist every
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: three months for checkups and cleanings, and my teeth are
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: in great shape, my gums are in great shape, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I don't have a classically beautiful smile. And I get
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: attacked for it every day, and it makes me feel bad.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: It does. I'd like to say it just bounces off
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: of me, but it doesn't. My neck gets attacked. Hey,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: old man, put some beans in that neck and make
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a maraca out of it. I get attacked for my
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: looks every day. Do you? And I'm being serious. Do
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you every day have hundreds of people attacking the way
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: you look just because of your opinion? They don't like
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: my opinion or they don't like that I'm gay. And
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: so they attack my looks. And you all want to say, well, Carell,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: ignore them. You know, they're just stupid idiots or they're
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: bots or whatever. Wait until it happens to you before
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: you tell me. So many celebrities have gotten off of
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: social media for that very thing, for being attacked, their
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: weight being attacked, their looks being attacked. Look at Madonna.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Madonna looks incredible. She's living her best life. She is
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: under constant attack this week on social media for her age,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: how she walked, how she danced, how she looked, how
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: her ass looked. It's not just me. They attack me
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: being gay, being a vegan, being a woke gay vegan.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, they attack me. Go read the comments
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: under my Instagram. Go read the comments under my TikToks.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Would you like me to read them? And I see.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: all of these people, including my friend Maureen Langan, out
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: doing all these gigs. Jason Stewart doing all these gigs.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: And I think, I used to gig with them. I
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: used to be a bigger name than they are. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: now I haven't done a gig in eight years, and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: they're doing eight gigs in two weeks. And suddenly I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: feel inadequate and paralyzed. I can't tell you how many
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: days I feel totally so inadequate and have such low
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: self-esteem I just go to bed in the afternoon, which
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: is not productive. And where does that come from? Social media.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Social media is more dangerous than AI ever is. Ever.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Because we cannot control it. We can't.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yours.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: you crazy. It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Yours.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: you crazy.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
• 31:18
  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
• 31:26
  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
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: have people that we danced with. And that's why we dance.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Stream I Dance Because on all services. Yep. I didn't
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: do this topic because of a pity party, but the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: topic is very personal to me because I believe that
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: social media is the worst thing that has happened to
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: society in the last hundred years. I think it's worse
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: than AI. I really do. Misinformation. MAGA gets all of
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: their lies from social media. They get all of their
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: talking points from Fox News, Newsmax, and social media. Social
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: media has destroyed our democracy. And Mark Zuckerberg or the
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: other billionaires that run it don't have to pay because
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: of one law, one section of one law that says
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: they're not responsible for what people post on their platform.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: That's like saying you're not responsible for what people do
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: in your house. That's what they're saying. That's like saying
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: a newspaper is not responsible for what it prints. That
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: a TV station. ABC is not responsible for Jimmy Kimmel.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: If ABC had the same law as social media, the
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: same clause, then they wouldn't be harmed by Jimmy Kimmel
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: at all because they could simply say, well, we're not
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: responsible for what he airs. Yes, it's on our network,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: but he airs it. It's his show. This is how
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: they get away with it. You know? So for me,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm going to do. I do
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: need to post snippets of the show. I do need
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to keep track of them. But every time I go on,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I feel less than.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I do. I've had a real problem with that lately.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm not, you cannot, you know, nowadays I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: see people performing at the Grammys and the VMAs and
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I think, well, you couldn't do that. Why are you
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: even recording records? You can't do that. You're crooked when
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: you stand up. You have bad teeth. You have a
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: neck that's, you know, so waddly, you know. You can't
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: go out there and shine like a superstar on stage,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: like Ray or like Adam Lambert. And that's your competition.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: So why do you even try? Find something behind the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: camera now. You're no longer camera ready. You're no longer,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: you'll never make a movie your whole life. And yet
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I watch a show called Furious on Hulu. Brilliant show,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: brilliant show. And there is one of the lead characters,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: who is in a wheelchair with arms that are up
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: like this. I don't know what disease does that, but,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the elbows are tight and the arms are
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: malformed and they're in like this. I'm not making fun.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I'm being descriptive. This is how his arms are. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: didn't even know it was a he. I thought it
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: was a girl for the longest time. And I don't
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: think he has legs. He might have legs, but I
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: can't see them in the wheelchair. And this guy's got
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: a lead part. He is on a ventilator. On a ventilator.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: He talks... on a ventilator through his nose. He's a
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: great character. I love that character. His name's Adrian. Oh,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: my God. He's sassy, and he's fabulous, and he's a
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: great actor. And I'm sure he was told his whole life,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: you will never get apart, ever. You're in a wheelchair.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You're on a respirator. Your hands don't work. You're never
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: going to get apart. There he is, a lead, a
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: lead on the show Furious. But I go on social
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: media and all I see are pretty people succeeding, young people.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I'm all, you're too old. Who's going to go to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: your show? Who's going to buy a ticket? Why book
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: a show? 30 people will show up, you know? And
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I only feel that I never worried about that before.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I would book a show and if only 10 people
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: showed up, fuck it, did a show for 10 people. Nowadays,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I have all this self-doubt and it all comes from
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: social media. When I researched this topic last night and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I found the actual medical effects of social media and
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the first four lines were depression, anxiety, lower well-being, lower
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: life satisfaction, low self-esteem, envy, feelings of inadequacy. I feel
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: every one of those things every time I go on.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I envy Maureen Langen. I envy her. I envy her.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Jason Stewart. He's out promoting a film he directed and
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: got made, and it's winning award at film festivals. And
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: this guy did it with, like, no money. He did it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: He did something more than me. And I feel jealous.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Social media. So what do you do?
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: If you're not visiting reallycorral.com daily... You're missing out. Get
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes, at williekarell.com.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: That's really K-A-R-E-L dot com.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You have to be proud. Hey everyone, it's Carell, and
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I want to invite you to stream my new single,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: You Have to Be Proud, on Swishcraft Music. You Have
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: to Be Proud, by Carell. Go stream it, go march
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: to it, go wave your rainbow flags and piss off
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: MAGA to it. Do whatever you need to do to
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: remind yourself and others, we are stronger than ever, and
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: they can't have our pride. You have to be strong.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I need? I need an assistant that
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: would go on social media, check all my stats and numbers,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: respond to posts under my post. Although now there is
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: an AI that'll do that for.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: You. And then we'll find things that would interest me,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: you know, like, oh, Aaron Parnas said this today or
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the I've Had It podcast, you know, they said this
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: today or whatever, and forward that to me to where
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not going on the social media. Because it really is,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I really am the first line of all of these
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: side effects. Depression, anxiety, lower well-being, lower life satisfaction, low self-esteem, envy,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: and feelings of inadequacy. I never used to be envious
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: of anybody. Not even Streisand. I thought, oh no, I'll
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: be her one day. I'll make movies. I'll sing. I'm
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: too busy. I'm going to do it. And I will
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: spend hours sometimes. After lunch... I'll just start scrolling at
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: one o'clock and suddenly it's three in the afternoon and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I haven't worked on any other projects. I haven't booked
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: any dates. I haven't done anything because I feel why?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: No one's going to show up. And the best you
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: could do is open for somebody, but who? How do
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: you open for Kathy Griffith without a manager? All I
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: have now in front of me from social media are limits.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: And I used to not feel limits. I used to say,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: let's get Kathy on the phone. Let's find her manager
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, Carell should open for you. You two
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: do the same type of act that Carell should open
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: for you. You know, I mean, back in the day,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I would have called Drew Barrymore and said, you know what?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I need to do your show. And whenever Ross ain't there,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: have me on. I don't even make those calls anymore
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: because they're impossible to make. That's the other thing. The
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: disrespect now. Any publicist will tell you, if you ask,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: this is behind the scenes tea here. I hear this
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: from everybody now. And maybe you guys experience this in
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: your life. depending on what you do for a living
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I will send out 500, and I'm not
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: making that up. I have a list of 643 members
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: of the gay and straight press. 643 members. I will
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: send out a press release about a new single or
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: about the show or whatever. And out of 643, I
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: am lucky if I get six responses. One percent. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: that's luck. I have talked to all my other publicist friends.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: They will send out a thousand pitches and get less
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: than 20 responses. And those responses might not even be
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: a yes. Nowadays, people don't even respond to you to
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: say no thank you or that's okay, the job has
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: been filled or whatever. They don't even respond. And you
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: hear this from job applicants everywhere. People say they apply
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: for a hundred jobs and their application doesn't even get acknowledged.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: The company doesn't even say, thank you, but we filled
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: it or thank you, we've received it, we'll review it. Nothing.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: They hear nothing. That's the norm now. Now you call
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: producers at shows and this goes back to social media.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows that social media is bad. We know that
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: it does all the things that I just said. Try
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: and get a comedy gig. Try. The first thing the
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: club asks you is, how many followers do you have?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Try to get booked on a TV show like Jennifer
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Hudson or Drew Barrymore. Unless you're in some production they
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: can't ignore, something big on Netflix or Hulu or HBO
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Max or something, unless you're in something like that, and
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: very few people are, Try to get booked. These shows
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: used to book unknown talent, up-and-coming talent. The only reason
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Magnus Farrell is getting booked is his social media following
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: and his famous father. And he got all the social
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: media followers from his famous father mentioning him on television
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: in several interviews. And so because he now has 500,000,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: a million, a million and a half followers, he's getting
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: booked at Club Blue Note in New York at Five Below,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: at all these other clubs. I can't even get the
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Razz Room to email me back with consistency. I've sent
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: the Razz Room 48 emails. And out of that, I've
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: gotten five back that say, yes, let's do it, let's
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: pick a date. And then I say, okay, great, when?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: And that email is never answered, ever. Eric Elo at
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the Razz Room is the most disrespectful booker or promoter
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I have ever encountered because he'll take the emails and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: after like 10 emails, he'll say, sure, let's pick a
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: date and then never picks a date. That is so
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: disrespectful to the act. I've reached out to Odyssey in
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, not even a callback. Roosters, whatever, Roosters in
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: San Jose, not even a callback. You guys think I
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: don't reach out or try to book things. I do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I call their talent bookers. I call their agents. I
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: email them. Never hear a word. Maureen Langan has a
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: manager and an agent. Jason Stewart has a manager and
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: an agent. I tried to get a manager and an
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: agent and they threw up nothing but roadblocks. How many
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: social media followers do you have? Let's see a reel.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: What's your last gig? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: The world is now designed to keep you and I
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: out of it, particularly if we don't want to be
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: on social media. And when you say to someone, oh,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: what's your Twitter? People ask me, what is your Twitter?
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: What is your ex-account? And I'm all, I don't have
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: an ex-account. I don't support Elon Musk. It's filled with
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: nothing but MAGA, and it is just a horrible, horrible environment.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I don't have an ex-account. Oh, well, what's your TikTok?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I don't support TikTok. It's owned by Larry Ellison, Donald
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Trump's best friend. They censor gay and lesbians on there.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: They throttle them down. So I don't go on it.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: So I have like 38 followers on TikTok. And they're like, oh.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: And they look down on me. They don't care about
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: my history. They don't care about... And this is what
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: we have in the marketplace today. This is what people
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: trying to get jobs are facing. This is what entertainers
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: are facing. This is what just anybody. When you go
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: for a regular job now, just a regular jobby job,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: they check your social media. They certainly do. They have
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: companies that will scan your social media to see if
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: you've posted anything that might not be in line with
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: the company's values. So social media plays a huge part
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: in getting a job. Not just for entertainers, for anybody.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: And yet we know that it is one of the
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: worst things to happen to society. That's why I know
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: we're doomed with AI, particularly with Trump's opinion today of
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: let them regulate themselves. We let social media regulate itself,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: and look what's happened. Look, it has become toxic to humans.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Social media has a list of side effects that make
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: it toxic to human beings. If I had a bigger
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: production company, I would do a drug ad for TikTok
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: and Instagram and X and then have them read the
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: actual side effects of social media. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: low satisfaction, envy, feelings of inadequacy, body dysfunction, disordered eating,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: sleep disruption, compulsive or problematic use, fear of missing out,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: pressure to remain available, distraction and interference with school or work,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: may cause displacement of exercise and offline activities, loneliness, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: social disconnected. Contact your doctor if you receive cyberbullying, hate, threat, stalking, self-harm, suicide, self-grooming,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: sexual grooming, normalization of risky behavior, health misinformation. Be sure
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: you consult a specialist if you have financial scams, fraud,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: privacy loss, reputational damage, political hostility, or distorted beliefs. Those
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: are the side effects of social media. So I can't
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: even worry yet about the threat of AI. The threat
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: of social media is already here and it's actually affecting me.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: And I know so many of you are going to say,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: then just ignore it. Oh, Rachel in the chat room.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I know somebody that was fired from his dream job
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: because they checked his social media. Yep. Yep. Absolutely. Yep.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: And James says, perhaps you should become someone's manager or agent.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: And I know he means well. But when you guys
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: say that to me, it makes me feel like shit.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine telling Streisand, well, maybe you should start
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: booking people? Can you imagine looking at any comic that's
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: out there or any talk show host? Could you imagine
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: looking at, I don't know, David Pakman, Stephanie Miller, and saying,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe you should be a producer and book
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: guests for other talk shows? Can you imagine saying that
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: to them? No, you wouldn't say that to them. You wouldn't.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: But yet people feel free to say it to me
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: because they don't view me in the same light. I've
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: made history in talk radio. I broke barriers. I changed laws.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I am still talked about in talk radio circles as
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: the most innovative thing of the beginning of the 20th
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: century that radio had ever seen. I have sold out
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: venues across the globe and just had a top 10
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: charting single that I wrote. But maybe I should be
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: a manager or an agent. That hurts. That hurts. Well,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: you need money. I'm just trying to come up with
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: ways for you to actually make some money because times
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: are changing. And, you know, I don't want to see
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you suffer. And, you know, I get it. It's always well-intentioned.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: But entertainers have heard that their whole life. Because no
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: one takes entertainment as a serious job. Nobody. Nobody sees
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: a singer, dancer, writer, a talk show host. No one
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: sees an actor as an actual, real job. Admit it.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: You guys don't. You don't see what I do here
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: every day, which takes a lot of work before the
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: show and after. I don't finish until 12 or 12.30,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: posting the show. Then at night from 5 until 7,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I have to come up with the next day's show,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: the graphic, post it all. You all don't see the
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: work that goes into the show, but it's work. It's
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: actual work. But you don't see it as a job.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: This is like my hobby. Y'all support my hobby. This
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: is not a hobby. And that makes me feel bad.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: It would make anyone feel bad. Like telling a doctor, well,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: why don't you also drive for Uber?
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Uber.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Or you're really good with medicine. Why don't you write a,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like, I realize y'all mean well when
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: you say that. All the people in my life since
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: I was 10 years old, I realized they all meant well.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Do you know who never said that? My parents. My
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: mother never once said, maybe you should have something to
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: fall back on. My mother always said, go be an actor.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Go be a singer. Go be a talk show host.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Go be an entertainer. Go. Do it. You're talented. You're funny.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Go do it. Don't stop. Keep going. Mom never said,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: have a backup job, ever. She never said, but why
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: don't you also try to be a lawyer or a
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: doctor or whatever? She never said that. Not once. Not once.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: When I said I was taking theater as a major
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: in college, she never once said, why don't you take
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: something that would actually make you money? Nope. She never
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: said that at all. Never once. Maybe that's why I'm
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: in the boat I'm in. Mom ain't around. But again,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: this goes back to social media. Comments like that on
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: social media hurt. And so we're so worried about AI,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: but the one thing that we should be regulating right now,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: the thing that we should actually be making laws about,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: have lawsuits over, and not just where they settle it financially.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Facebook just had to pay billions to settle a lawsuit
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: because they know that their platform is harmful to kids,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: particularly girls. They know it. And how did they get
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: out of it? $ 16 billion. Did they have to make
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: sure to protect the kids from now on? Nah. They
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: put in some paltry limits. New Zealand and Australia, they're
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: now saying that kids under 13 can't have social media accounts.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: That's a start. The UK, the same thing. That's a start.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: But we must make the companies liable. If they're disseminating
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: fake political information, it is not free speech. We must
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: make them liable for the misinformation they spread. Only when
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: we make the billionaires pay will they change things. If
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: someone disparages you on social media, says you're ugly and
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: you're hideous and you should kill yourself, we should be
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: able to sue the platform for letting them make those comments.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: But we don't. We protect the billionaires. And meanwhile, we
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: let the people on social media suffer a host of
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: side effects. All because we want to protect the billionaires.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Does that make any kind of sense? We must protect
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: the billionaires at the expense of our own selves. The
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: same with AI. That's exactly what he's doing. Protect the billionaires.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Let them self-regulate.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Patreon is the way to show you care. Subscribe today
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: if you dare. Keep the show on air.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Patreon is the way. Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K, funk, honey.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Do you want to funk? Do you want to funk, baby? Hey,
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: it's Carell. Go stream Do You Wanna Funk? My tribute
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: to Sylvester. Everywhere you get your music. Carell, do you
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: wanna funk? By the way, I'm not saying that it's
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: insulting for entertainers to have a side gig at all.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Many an entertainer has a side gig. Many an entertainer
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: makes more money on their side gig than they do entertaining.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. That's not the same thing. You know,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: they're still entertainers, but they also branched out into something
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: else that they love. For instance, I would love to
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: be animagical. I would so love to be animagical. I
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: would love a four-story Victorian house in San Francisco with
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: me living on the top, having it be a vegan
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: bed and breakfast for gay people. A gay, well, gay-friendly.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: A gay-friendly vegan B & B. That I live in.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: And there's like eight rooms that I rent out. And
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I cook breakfast every morning for everybody. And then I
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: go on my day. I have someone that runs it,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: you know, throughout the day. But I have breakfast with
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: everybody every morning. And then I go about my day.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: And we have vegan lunches and vegan dinner and vegan
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: high tea every day at the B & B. And
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: some days I'm there and some days I'm not. I
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: would love that. Oh, my God, would I love that.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: To run a vegan B & B in San Francisco
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: for gay or gay-friendly people and be there sometimes and
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: other times not, but have the income from it. I'd
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: love that. Oh, my God, would I love that. What's
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: your dream like that? I'd love that. And I also
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: really want a vegan bakery that serves French pastries like
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: the one in Pasadena, like macaroons, all the things that
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: regular people Pastry chefs are afraid to make vegan because
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: they don't know how. There's a chef at a place
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: called I Declare in Pasadena. It's heaven in there. And
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: they have high tea every day. Oh, yeah. If I
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: could own a vegan B & B and have a
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: vegan bakery attached to it and a little studio at it,
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: a little studio to do the podcast and to do
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: the shows. I'd also love to own a venue. I
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: would love to own a venue where I do shows
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: or I open for people or whatever and then book
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: other acts into the venue. I would love that. I'd
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: love that. I'd love to own my own venue, my
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: own theater. That would be so much fun. Like a
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: 200 or 300 seat theater. That would be so much fun.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Book in acts, open myself, do shows myself. Oh yeah,
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: emcee the acts that come in. I'd love it. And
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: make it trendy so big acts would come to my
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: little 300-seat venue. Oh, yeah, that would be just so
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: much fun. So, yeah, branching out like that, that's great.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of entertainers do that. But saying I should
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: completely change professions, well, you shouldn't be an entertainer anymore.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: You should be a producer. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you want
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: to do something. I could be a brilliant lawyer, a
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: brilliant lawyer. I have no desire.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: None.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Zero. So social media is more dangerous than AI. Donald
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Trump says that we should, in fact, self-regulate it. Yeah, right. Okay.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: What a moron. Because we don't do such a good
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: job with social media, do we? We've let that be self-regulated.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: And we don't do a really good job with that,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: do we? No, we don't. Anything else in the news?
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: That debacle yesterday that was the Jack Smith thing, that
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: was something. That was a debacle. I'm not going to
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: go over everything that was said, but it was a debacle. Yeah,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: a pilot stabbed another pilot. Yeah, that was really weird
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: on an Israel-bound flight. That was very strange. A pilot
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: stabbed the other pilot. The execution of the first woman
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee ever, I think, has been halted. she was
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: on her way. It's right out of a movie. They
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: halted it. They're going to go to the appeals court
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: very quickly. She was 18 when she committed this murder.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: She had helped commit the murder. And they're claiming she
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: came from a greatly abused background and had untreated mental illness.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: She should not die. I'm on team save her. I
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: don't care how, I know they tortured the girl. I
• 57:57
