- 0:34Speaker 6: Twenty twenty five is about to be over. In fact,
- 0:37Speaker 6: in some part of the world, it already is a memory.
- 0:39Speaker 6: And what were those memories we're gonna talk about? Twenty
- 0:42Speaker 6: twenty five.

- 1:03Speaker 6: Depending upon what time zone you're in, it could already
- 1:05Speaker 6: be New Year's I am so glad to be here
- 1:09Speaker 6: with you on this New Year's Eve. It's the morning
- 1:11Speaker 6: for me ten am. But you know, for y'all, whenever
- 1:15Speaker 6: you're listening, or if you're listening in another country, it
- 1:18Speaker 6: could be night or it could be tomorrow in Australia.
- 1:21Speaker 6: If you're in Australia or China or other places, it
- 1:24Speaker 6: is already the new year. And what a year. I
- 1:28Speaker 6: gotta tell you, what a freaking year this, You know,
- 1:33Speaker 6: I wish I'd drank because it would be a good
- 1:36Speaker 6: night to get drunk tonight, given everything that's still going
- 1:40Speaker 6: on right up until New Year's Eve. This, I know,
- 1:43Speaker 6: I didn't want to talk politics, and I'm not gonna,
- 1:46Speaker 6: but you know the Epstein files, and you know the
- 1:51Speaker 6: kerfuffle around all that, and you know, just and I
- 1:55Speaker 6: haven't really addressed the Epstein Files on the show. I
- 1:58Speaker 6: haven't because I think it's much ado about nothing quite frankly.
- 2:03Speaker 6: I mean, the deadline came and some got released, some didn't,
- 2:06Speaker 6: and you know, redacted this, and blah blah blah that,
- 2:09Speaker 6: and oh court preceding this and whatever. But I don't
- 2:13Speaker 6: need those files because they are one of the biggest
- 2:17Speaker 6: stories of twenty twenty five, which we'll be talking the
- 2:19Speaker 6: biggest stories of twenty twenty five. I don't need those
- 2:23Speaker 6: files to, you know, convince me that rich white men,
- 2:31Speaker 6: in particular, rich straight white men in particular avail themselves
- 2:38Speaker 6: of younger women and sometimes too you. And it's been
- 2:44Speaker 6: going on since the dawn of time. I fully believe
- 2:46Speaker 6: Donald Trump did it. I fully believe Alan Dershowitz did it.
- 2:51Speaker 6: I fully believe most everyone in the files did it.
- 2:53Speaker 6: I don't know if Bill Clinton did, because Epstein himself
- 2:57Speaker 6: said that he never did. Epstein himself said that Clinton,
- 3:04Speaker 6: you know, was never a part of it. But who knows,
- 3:07Speaker 6: maybe he was. I don't know, but I do. I
- 3:11Speaker 6: don't need the files to show me that Trump is
- 3:14Speaker 6: a criminal. I already know that it's. Egene Carrol proved
- 3:20Speaker 6: that the man does not respect women. The way that
- 3:23Speaker 6: he talks to women reporters proves that he doesn't. I know,
- 3:27Speaker 6: I'm talking politics. I said it wouldn't, but you know,
- 3:30Speaker 6: the man does not respect women, and so he certainly
- 3:35Speaker 6: wouldn't respect boundaries with women, including age. And as we
- 3:40Speaker 6: look back on that story this year and all the
- 3:43Speaker 6: hoopla around it, what has the release of you know
- 3:46Speaker 6: some of the files changed. Is MAGA turned against him? No,
- 3:51Speaker 6: not not over this. They're turning more against him about
- 3:55Speaker 6: the economy because they forgive him having sex with a
- 4:00Speaker 6: fifteen year old or sixteen year old or seventeen year old.
- 4:04Speaker 6: They would literally forgive him for that. And I don't
- 4:08Speaker 6: need the files to tell me that he did it.
- 4:11Speaker 6: You know, I fully believe he did. Nothing will change
- 4:14Speaker 6: my mind, and that's that. But it is New Year's Eve.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Now I will not be awake at midnight. I do
- 4:22Speaker 6: the Irish New Year. I'll be at the pub at three.
- 4:24Speaker 6: I'm probably gonna go to Rera, go to the pubbet
- 4:27Speaker 6: three celebrated four when it's you know, New Year's four
- 4:31Speaker 6: o'clock this afternoon is New Year's in Ireland, and be
- 4:34Speaker 6: home by five, because I think New Year's Eve is
- 4:37Speaker 6: amateur night at the Apollo. I think that people get
- 4:40Speaker 6: as drunk as they can, as fast as they can,
- 4:42Speaker 6: and then they go out and drive right after midnight.
- 4:45Speaker 6: I don't. And this is Las Vegas. There's going to
- 4:48Speaker 6: be fireworks at midnight. People are going to be blitzed
- 4:51Speaker 6: out of their minds. I don't want to be on
- 4:53Speaker 6: the road. I don't want to be out there in that.
- 4:56Speaker 6: I would rather be at home in bed with Ember.
- 4:58Speaker 6: Because tomorrow New Year's Day is just as important to
- 5:04Speaker 6: me as New Year's Eve. If I stay up till
- 5:07Speaker 6: one or two in the morning, then my New Year's
- 5:10Speaker 6: Day is gonna be shot. I'm gonna feel like crap
- 5:11Speaker 6: on the first day of the New Year, and I
- 5:13Speaker 6: don't want to do that, So I do the Irish
- 5:15Speaker 6: New Year. You should do it with me today at
- 5:18Speaker 6: four o'clock. Celebrate New Year's. It's New Year's in Ireland.
- 5:20Speaker 6: Go to a pub. There's a pub everywhere that there's
- 5:23Speaker 6: a pub everywhere. Everywhere you go you can find an
- 5:26Speaker 6: Irish pub.
- 5:28Speaker 3: All right.
- 5:28Speaker 6: We are going to talk about some of the biggest
- 5:30Speaker 6: stories of the year, reflect reflections of We're also going
- 5:35Speaker 6: to talk about the best movies and television of the
- 5:37Speaker 6: year and the best music of the year. And I'd

- 6:15Speaker 2: No time to Correll is so near because showtime.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Is here, So on with the show.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Let's give it a go.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Carrill is the one that you need to.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Know, all right, Well, twenty twenty five. First of all,
- 6:34Speaker 6: it's December thirty first, January sixth You know, riots treason insurrection,
- 6:43Speaker 6: that wasn't a story from this last year. But the
- 6:45Speaker 6: fact that Trump pardoned a majority of those people certainly
- 6:51Speaker 6: is a story from this year, because he did it
- 6:54Speaker 6: this year, and the fact that he took office this
- 6:58Speaker 6: January a big, huge story. In fact, it is the
- 7:03Speaker 6: number one political story out there. Trump retakes the White House.
- 7:07Speaker 6: I don't believe you won. I don't believe you one
- 7:10Speaker 6: And now I sound like him, but I just don't
- 7:13Speaker 6: believe you won. I don't I believe it was manipulated fully,
- 7:17Speaker 6: I really do. I just don't think there were that
- 7:21Speaker 6: many stupid, angry people to put him back in office.
- 7:26Speaker 6: I don't. I saw the support for Kamala. I saw
- 7:30Speaker 6: the conventions. He was barely filling seats while she was
- 7:33Speaker 6: selling out huge arenas. I just I don't believe that
- 7:38Speaker 6: he legally won. I think somehow Elon Musk or someone
- 7:43Speaker 6: else manipulated the votes. Now you can agree with me
- 7:47Speaker 6: on that, you can disagree with me, you can think
- 7:49Speaker 6: I'm crazy, whatever, But I don't think he won. I
- 7:53Speaker 6: do not think he is a legitimate president. But he
- 7:56Speaker 6: did return to the White House and just reshaped public
- 8:00Speaker 6: policy within minutes, and not for the best, you know,
- 8:05Speaker 6: not for the best. I mean, he had stacks of
- 8:09Speaker 6: executive orders on day one, many of which are still
- 8:12Speaker 6: being challenged in the courts. You know, there's too many
- 8:18Speaker 6: to even go down. I think he's already signed like
- 8:20Speaker 6: two hundred, so there's too many to even go over.
- 8:25Speaker 6: But the first two big stories to come out of
- 8:29Speaker 6: the Trump White House was his war on DEI meaning
- 8:35Speaker 6: Gay's lesbians, trans By and of course Ice. Those of
- 8:43Speaker 6: all the stories of twenty twenty five, I think the
- 8:45Speaker 6: two biggest. And it's just been a story our year
- 8:49Speaker 6: of one huge story after another, Epstein files Ice doing
- 8:53Speaker 6: all of this. We had natural disasters galore, you know,
- 8:57Speaker 6: just a year of big news. I think the biggest
- 9:02Speaker 6: news was when the US government turned a division of
- 9:09Speaker 6: law enforcement against its people, not just Ice, but the
- 9:14Speaker 6: National Guard. I think those are two huge stories from
- 9:20Speaker 6: this year, and not because of what they were doing.
- 9:24Speaker 6: In other words, what the National Guard was sent in
- 9:26Speaker 6: to do, or what Ice was sent out to do.
- 9:30Speaker 6: It wasn't really that. It's the fact that he was
- 9:33Speaker 6: using them as his Brown Shirts as his own private army.
- 9:37Speaker 6: He was using the National Guard to inflict his will
- 9:42Speaker 6: on blue states. And then he was using ICE to
- 9:46Speaker 6: literally harm legal immigrants, US citizens, immigrants that had no
- 9:53Speaker 6: criminal records. He was not getting rid of the worst
- 9:57Speaker 6: among us. He was not just getting rid of illegals.
- 10:02Speaker 6: He really started a war on anybody not white. And
- 10:09Speaker 6: it it was a sad year to watch the news.
- 10:14Speaker 6: It really was. Didn't Social media and the news just
- 10:17Speaker 6: depress you this year? If we're being honest on New
- 10:20Speaker 6: Year's Eve, you know, every time you go to social
- 10:24Speaker 6: media and see Ice yet again rating someplace that they
- 10:27Speaker 6: shouldn't be, tackling mothers or fathers to the ground, snatching
- 10:32Speaker 6: seven year olds, taking babies, it twenty twenty five. In
- 10:38Speaker 6: the news stories of twenty twenty five made me ashamed.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Never more in any year that I've ever lived in
- 10:46Speaker 6: my life, have I been more ashamed to be an
- 10:49Speaker 6: American than twenty twenty five. Trump brought great shame upon
- 10:56Speaker 6: the United States. You know, we could go through minutia
- 11:00Speaker 6: of each of his policies and the stories and all
- 11:02Speaker 6: of that, but the fact is they're all shameful. He
- 11:08Speaker 6: brought a new level of shame and condemnation to the
- 11:14Speaker 6: United States like we had never seen. That's another big
- 11:17Speaker 6: story of twenty twenty five. Alienating our allies, painting the
- 11:23Speaker 6: EU as not our friend, siding with Vladimir Putin, a
- 11:29Speaker 6: Russian dictator. There are so many groundbreaking stories in twenty
- 11:38Speaker 6: twenty five. I would need a week to go through
- 11:42Speaker 6: them all. Well, I've had a year, and we did
- 11:44Speaker 6: go through them all. You know, his tariffs, those are
- 11:50Speaker 6: those are another big story of the year because they
- 11:54Speaker 6: led to the exact opposite of what he pledged. He
- 12:00Speaker 6: pledged to bring down prices, he pledged to bring down
- 12:06Speaker 6: the soaring inflation of Joe Biden, and instead things went up.
- 12:13Speaker 6: And as just what a week ago, two weeks ago, now,
- 12:17Speaker 6: he did that eighteen minutes in the Oval Office, literally
- 12:20Speaker 6: yelling at America to try to convince them that black
- 12:24Speaker 6: was white and that up was down. He was deranged.
- 12:31Speaker 6: If anyone has Trump derangement syndrome, it's in. And so
- 12:37Speaker 6: it was a year of broken promises by him. He didn't,
- 12:40Speaker 6: you know, keep any of his promises. It was a
- 12:44Speaker 6: year of authoritarian rule, fascism, and oligarchy like never in
- 12:50Speaker 6: the history of the United States. Ever, twenty twenty five
- 12:55Speaker 6: will be remembered as the year fascism and authoritariatism. Authoritarianism
- 13:02Speaker 6: came to the United States again, possibly the biggest story
- 13:08Speaker 6: of the year. The United States sinks into authoritarianism because
- 13:14Speaker 6: no one ever thought we would. You know, no one
- 13:18Speaker 6: ever believed that that would happen to us, and yet
- 13:21Speaker 6: it has. It has completely happened to us. And God,
- 13:28Speaker 6: you know, when I just look back on everything we've
- 13:30Speaker 6: talked about the Dei culture war and how quick companies
- 13:35Speaker 6: were to jump on board. Not all Costco and a
- 13:39Speaker 6: few others said no, but so many companies were fair
- 13:44Speaker 6: weather friends to Gaze, to minorities, to immigrants, to women,
- 13:48Speaker 6: and they jumped right on board with his anti Dei policies.
- 13:54Speaker 6: I don't know why. In twenty twenty five, when we
- 13:57Speaker 6: look back, I wonder what people will say, why did
- 14:00Speaker 6: he want you know, he because they act like DEI
- 14:04Speaker 6: doesn't mean Americans. Diversity means just including more Americans in America,
- 14:13Speaker 6: that's all. It means. Equity inclusion. It just means including
- 14:20Speaker 6: more giving more people a chance. Why in twenty twenty
- 14:27Speaker 6: five would anybody, let alone a US president want to
- 14:33Speaker 6: exclude instead of include, wants to be less diverse instead
- 14:40Speaker 6: of more, and want a system of inequality instead of equality. Again.
- 14:50Speaker 6: I think his war on DEI will be one of
- 14:52Speaker 6: the biggest stories of the year. When we look back
- 14:56Speaker 6: on twenty twenty five, you know there will be some
- 15:01Speaker 6: good news stories here. But when I was compiling this,
- 15:05Speaker 6: I realized all the shit you and I have had
- 15:07Speaker 6: to deal with. You know, when you sort of it's
- 15:11Speaker 6: like my music retrospective show that I did on Christmas.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Not that many of you saw it, but the ones
- 15:17Speaker 6: that did. I had never looked at my musical career
- 15:22Speaker 6: in one spot, and when I did on that show,
- 15:28Speaker 6: I realized I've had a musical career and to see
- 15:33Speaker 6: it all in one place was overwhelming and made me thrilled. Well,
- 15:39Speaker 6: when we look at twenty twenty five and we see
- 15:42Speaker 6: all the things Donald Trump has done as a list
- 15:47Speaker 6: in one place, I don't know how you and I
- 15:51Speaker 6: survived it. I really don't. I don't know how you
- 15:54Speaker 6: and I got through this fucking year, because when you
- 15:57Speaker 6: see all the things we've had to deal with all
- 16:00Speaker 6: the way back to January, because he hit the ground
- 16:04Speaker 6: going we didn't get a break It wasn't like he
- 16:07Speaker 6: started in March or April or in the middle of
- 16:10Speaker 6: the year. No, he started being evil on day one,
- 16:17Speaker 6: and so we have been bombarded since day one with
- 16:24Speaker 6: foolishness the war on DII. University and cultural institutions faced
- 16:31Speaker 6: all kinds of pressures, litigation and compliance disputes, escalated media
- 16:36Speaker 6: cycles treated these battles as a constant storyline. They still do.
- 16:42Speaker 6: We're still fighting them. It's nowhere near over. He's got
- 16:46Speaker 6: three more years. His war on DEI continues. ICE isn't
- 16:52Speaker 6: being recalled, you know, tonight's New Year's Eve, Tomorrow on
- 16:56Speaker 6: New Year's Day. ICE isn't suddenly going to stop what
- 17:00Speaker 6: it's been doing. A lot of these stories are going
- 17:04Speaker 6: to carry right into twenty twenty six. I don't know
- 17:08Speaker 6: about you, but I don't find that to be a
- 17:10Speaker 6: good thing. He did shift federal marijuana policy. I believe
- 17:15Speaker 6: he signed that. I don't think they made a big
- 17:17Speaker 6: deal about it, but I guess I could google, because
- 17:22Speaker 6: I fully believe that he reclassified marijuana. Did Trump reclassify pot?
- 17:28Speaker 6: Remember two weeks ago we talked about it. Trump signs
- 17:32Speaker 6: executive order fast tracking reclassification of cannabis. So, yes, that
- 17:38Speaker 6: that's a big story. That's a huge story. You know.
- 17:42Speaker 6: It may reduce barriers to medical research, reshape enforcement priorities,
- 17:47Speaker 6: States and employers are watching for regulatory follow through. It
- 17:51Speaker 6: reignites the debate over legalization versus incremental reform. But more importantly,
- 17:58Speaker 6: it is no longer on par Is, you know, heroin.
- 18:02Speaker 6: So that that was a big deal that he did.
- 18:05Speaker 6: I'm not mad at him for doing that. That's the
- 18:06Speaker 6: one thing, the one thing in twenty twenty five, unless
- 18:11Speaker 6: he drops dead tonight, we have till midnight, you know.
- 18:16Speaker 6: But short of him dropping dead before the ball drops,
- 18:21Speaker 6: the one thing he did in twenty twenty five to
- 18:24Speaker 6: reclassify pot was one good thing. Can y'all think of
- 18:28Speaker 6: any other good thing he did? Anybody? You can leave
- 18:32Speaker 6: it down below the comments or over at Patreon at
- 18:35Speaker 6: patreon dot com, forward slash really, Qurell, can any of
- 18:38Speaker 6: you think about one other thing that he did that
- 18:41Speaker 6: was actually good? I can't, But the reclassifying of pot
- 18:47Speaker 6: that was good. Number Five, Immigration enforcement and detention politics
- 18:53Speaker 6: stay at a boiling point. Yes, civil liberty debates, detention
- 18:59Speaker 6: and in four horsement policies, court rulings, that create whiplash.
- 19:04Speaker 6: One minute they can do this, one minute, they can't.
- 19:06Speaker 6: One minute they get you know, this court says this,
- 19:08Speaker 6: but this court says that. But again, the big story
- 19:12Speaker 6: there is ice and the turning on your own people.
- 19:20Speaker 6: That was something. You know, he said this year that
- 19:24Speaker 6: he stopped more wars than he didn't. He did, and
- 19:26Speaker 6: a lot of those wars are still raging, by the way,
- 19:28Speaker 6: the Congo is still going on, Taiwan still going on,
- 19:31Speaker 6: Ukraine still going on, Israel still lobbing missiles. But certainly
- 19:36Speaker 6: that was a huge story that bled into twenty twenty five.
- 19:40Speaker 6: The genocide created by Israel, that was a huge story.
- 19:49Speaker 6: Global leadership changes, protest and coups reshaped national politics. Yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 6: several countries experience contentious leadership transitions and unrest. Gen z
- 20:00Speaker 6: Led political energy became a recurring narrative. Instability affected migration,
- 20:05Speaker 6: margarets and security markets. Domestic politics increasingly played out on
- 20:10Speaker 6: global platforms. Remember the kids that in Nepal that threw
- 20:13Speaker 6: out their leader and burned down their house. That was something.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Ireland got a new president, a woman president, in twenty
- 20:21Speaker 6: twenty five. Michael D. Higgins no longer the president. There
- 20:26Speaker 6: lots of regime changes, lots of world shifting, and then Venezuela.
- 20:32Speaker 6: That's a story that might be a big story in
- 20:34Speaker 6: twenty twenty six because he's still giving war vibes. All right,
- 20:42Speaker 6: we are talking the biggest stories of the year, not
- 20:45Speaker 6: just from politics, but we'll cover entertainment, music and all
- 20:48Speaker 6: of that on this New Year's Eve where you're going
- 20:51Speaker 6: to stay safe and you're going to stay sane and
- 20:54Speaker 6: you're not going to put yourself in any danger because
- 20:57Speaker 6: I need you. Okay, that's I need you. So yeah,
- 21:04Speaker 6: all right, let me look up some other stories here. Oh,
- 21:08Speaker 6: extreme weather, Yes, extreme weather became a political fight over
- 21:12Speaker 6: prepared natural disaster. We had plenty boy, oh my god,
- 21:20Speaker 6: looking at all this. How are we even here? Usha
- 21:23Speaker 6: parties telling you that or this afternoon or whatever?
- 21:27Speaker 10: Lords, no, it show.
- 21:59Speaker 6: You know.
- 22:00Speaker 9: So.
- 22:00Speaker 6: Another huge story of twenty twenty five was the politicization
- 22:03Speaker 6: of science, where RFK Junior just started making policies rooted
- 22:10Speaker 6: in nothing but politics nothing, where being a vegan became woke.
- 22:16Speaker 6: Taking a vaccine became I don't want to say, you know, arbitrary,
- 22:21Speaker 6: but you know, all of a sudden, vaccines that people
- 22:25Speaker 6: were told to get get these vaccines. Suddenly it's like, oh,
- 22:29Speaker 6: I'm not gonna I don't need it. The government says
- 22:30Speaker 6: I don't need it. It really became the year where
- 22:36Speaker 6: science an intellect, I don't want to say dissolved, but
- 22:44Speaker 6: moved out of the United States. He took a part
- 22:49Speaker 6: every major climate change consortium in the country, so we
- 22:56Speaker 6: no longer lead the way in climate science. He allowed
- 23:02Speaker 6: RFK Junior to cast aside decades and decades of science,
- 23:08Speaker 6: tell you, sat fat's good for you. You know, eat
- 23:11Speaker 6: more bacon, eat more eggs. Twenty twenty five, more than
- 23:16Speaker 6: any other year in American history, was the year that
- 23:19Speaker 6: we regressed intellectually. We went backwards because of our disregard
- 23:27Speaker 6: for science and allowing the politicization of science. You know
- 23:35Speaker 6: that possibly the worst thing that could have happened in
- 23:39Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. No longer respecting knowledge, no longer respecting intellect,
- 23:48Speaker 6: in fact, making smart people seem like pariahs, making intellectual
- 23:54Speaker 6: and anyone that disagreed with him, like the lady that
- 23:57Speaker 6: didn't want to vote to rename the Kennedy Center the
- 23:59Speaker 6: Trump Center, so they muted her during the vote. They
- 24:01Speaker 6: didn't let her vote it wasn't a unanimous vote, silencing
- 24:08Speaker 6: his enemies. A president has never done that before. Malicious
- 24:14Speaker 6: prosecutions of Letitian, James, James Comey and others. What a
- 24:20Speaker 6: year pop culture was? Remember the met Gala? Black dandyism
- 24:26Speaker 6: came into the conversation. It became a vehicle for cultural
- 24:32Speaker 6: history and identity debates. Link style to power, history and
- 24:36Speaker 6: self definition sparked viral discourse about representation and credit. Fashion
- 24:41Speaker 6: coverage became broader cultural commentary. Because again, in twenty twenty five,
- 24:47Speaker 6: everything had to be a political statement. The met Gala close.
- 24:55Speaker 6: You know that had to be a political statement. You
- 24:59Speaker 6: were if you wore this, You're not if you wore that.
- 25:05Speaker 6: You know this from an administration that made a red
- 25:08Speaker 6: hat a political station a political statement. In fun news,
- 25:15Speaker 6: twenty twenty five was the year of the lea booboo.
- 25:19Speaker 6: You know, we remember things like the year of the
- 25:20Speaker 6: pet rock, the year of the cabbage patch kid. Well,
- 25:24Speaker 6: the year of the lea boo boo. Say it with me,
- 25:28Speaker 6: love booboo, love booboo. I bet most of you don't
- 25:32Speaker 6: even know what a freaking the booboo is. I mean,
- 25:34Speaker 6: it's a doll, but you don't know where it came from.
- 25:36Speaker 6: It's a fairy story. And I don't mean a gay
- 25:38Speaker 6: guy story. I mean a story about fairies. Also, twenty
- 25:44Speaker 6: twenty five became the year that content creators became more
- 25:47Speaker 6: important than journalists. That's that's really sad that content creators
- 25:55Speaker 6: became as credible as journalists. Suddenly they're at the White House,
- 26:03Speaker 6: they're in the press pools, they're on the red carpets,
- 26:07Speaker 6: they're getting TV shows, they're claim to fame, they're influences.
- 26:14Speaker 6: I mean, look, it was also the year that Oscar
- 26:17Speaker 6: decided to no longer be on ABC, which it has
- 26:20Speaker 6: been on since the nineteen seventies. It's now going to
- 26:24Speaker 6: be on YouTube. The Oscars, the Academy Awards will be
- 26:30Speaker 6: on YouTube. That speaks volumes to YouTube being an actual network.
- 26:39Speaker 6: You know, YouTube is not governed like a network, but
- 26:43Speaker 6: it is a network, and this proves that it's a network.
- 26:50Speaker 6: So yeah, slow's a big story. And then I don't
- 26:55Speaker 6: want to say possibly the most influential or important story
- 26:59Speaker 6: of the year, but it's certain me the one story
- 27:02Speaker 6: that's going to affect our future more than anything out
- 27:06Speaker 6: of twenty twenty five. Do you know what that is,
- 27:10Speaker 6: in a guess in the chat room, you're going to
- 27:11Speaker 6: guess the one story, the one thing, because there are
- 27:17Speaker 6: billions of stories about it, but the one thing that
- 27:22Speaker 6: emerged as a newborn infant that suddenly grew up fast,
- 27:28Speaker 6: that will affect the entire future, Our whole future of humanity,
- 27:32Speaker 6: the entire future of humanity was beginning to be shaped
- 27:38Speaker 6: by this one thing in twenty twenty five. And you
- 27:41Speaker 6: know what that is? Ai? AI. There is no doubt
- 27:49Speaker 6: that AI and their exponential growth of it in twenty
- 27:54Speaker 6: twenty five was the political, cultural, scientific, medical, social, everything
- 28:05Speaker 6: breakthrough that you can think of. Now. Granted there's been
- 28:10Speaker 6: AI before twenty twenty five, but in twenty twenty five,
- 28:14Speaker 6: we got CHATJPT. In twenty twenty five, we got AI video.
- 28:18Speaker 6: In twenty twenty five, we got AI posting our socials
- 28:21Speaker 6: for us. We got AI doing almost everything for us.
- 28:25Speaker 6: And it's just starting, it's just beginning. But certainly the
- 28:32Speaker 6: biggest phenomenon of twenty twenty five was the proliferation and
- 28:38Speaker 6: advent of AI. This is the year that they will
- 28:42Speaker 6: remember it for. This is the year they will look
- 28:46Speaker 6: back and say, well, when it all started back in
- 28:48Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. AI think about that in this year
- 28:56Speaker 6: of horror, we also had possibly the biggest technological advance
- 29:02Speaker 6: I want to say, in one hundred years, just an
- 29:06Speaker 6: enormous advance, and that came out of this year. This year,
- 29:14Speaker 6: all right, we got more stories to talk about, including
- 29:16Speaker 6: movies and films and music. On this New Year's Eve
- 29:20Speaker 6: edition of the Corell Cast, I hope you're gonna celebrate

- 30:10Speaker 4: Corilla is the one that you need to know.
- 30:15Speaker 5: Now. It's show tide.
- 30:30Speaker 6: There were headlines that rocked the world in twenty twenty five,
- 30:34Speaker 6: and there were things that have happened that we're gonna
- 30:36Speaker 6: be feeling for years and years to come. It is
- 30:38Speaker 6: the New Year's Eve Best up Show with Carrel Stay.
- 30:42Speaker 7: Tuned, uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.
- 30:50Speaker 1: It's a corral cast.
- 30:51Speaker 9: Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
- 30:59Speaker 6: You know, I am Corella's Caro Cast. And things happen
- 31:04Speaker 6: so fast now that earth shattering stories. Where in any
- 31:09Speaker 6: other year for year end, we'd be talking about only
- 31:11Speaker 6: three or five stories because they were huge, and now
- 31:15Speaker 6: there's one hundred because they just fly at you. For instance,
- 31:20Speaker 6: remember when Vladimir Zelenski met with Donald Trump and JD.
- 31:23Speaker 6: Vance and it just went so south. Remember that, Oh
- 31:28Speaker 6: my god, it was horrifying. I mean I remember it vividly.
- 31:32Speaker 6: It was terrible. The lunch the next day was canceled.
- 31:37Speaker 6: Oh what a moment that was. They got in a
- 31:40Speaker 6: fight right there in front of the media. Also in
- 31:45Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, Facebook and Instagram announced they would stop
- 31:48Speaker 6: fact checking. If you don't think that influences culture, you're wrong.
- 31:56Speaker 6: But that happened this year. Facebook and Instagram, the same company,
- 32:01Speaker 6: said that they were no longer going to fact check.
- 32:05Speaker 6: I mean that, that's mind boggling. That's mind boggling. Then
- 32:13Speaker 6: there was a large scale drone attack known as Operation
- 32:16Speaker 6: Spider Web, which was launched by the Ukraine against Russia
- 32:19Speaker 6: pissed Rush off so much that they ended up bombing
- 32:22Speaker 6: the hell out of Kiev. Iran was attacked by Israel
- 32:26Speaker 6: because of their alleged nuclear efforts. Remember that. Remember when
- 32:30Speaker 6: Israel attacked Iran and we were all like, oh God,
- 32:33Speaker 6: World War iie here it is. God forgotten about that one.
- 32:38Speaker 6: I really had. The Dali Lama spoke about a successor,
- 32:44Speaker 6: it's gonna step down. We got a new pope, Pope
- 32:48Speaker 6: Leo the fourteenth. He became the first American pope. That
- 32:54Speaker 6: happened in twenty twenty five, the first American pope, and
- 32:59Speaker 6: then Pope Francis on Easter. Then remember we had the
- 33:03Speaker 6: astronauts that were stranded up there for just months and
- 33:06Speaker 6: months and months and months, and then of course they
- 33:09Speaker 6: got back home, but it took a while. And then
- 33:14Speaker 6: there was Doge. Doge remember came in chainsaw elon musk
- 33:21Speaker 6: Ketamine said I was gonna cut trillions and save trillions
- 33:25Speaker 6: of dollars and all of that. It ain't even in
- 33:28Speaker 6: existence anymore. That's something. Oh. Yes, there was the first
- 33:35Speaker 6: pig to human transplant of a kidney. I don't know
- 33:37Speaker 6: how the pig felt about it, but they seem to
- 33:40Speaker 6: think that is the way that pigs, for some reason,
- 33:44Speaker 6: we can genetically modify them. They're most like humans, and
- 33:47Speaker 6: yet we eat them. I don't. But they're genetically modifying
- 33:52Speaker 6: pigs to grow organs for us, and they grew a kidney.
- 33:57Speaker 6: Didn't turn out as they totally would have liked, but
- 34:01Speaker 6: it gave them enough promise to move ahead. Me and
- 34:06Speaker 6: Mar's second largest city was hit by a seven point
- 34:08Speaker 6: seven earthquake this year. That was devastating. I remember when
- 34:13Speaker 6: that occurred. Los Angeles wildfires. Now that's for many going
- 34:20Speaker 6: to be their biggest story because their houses are gone.
- 34:24Speaker 6: We all watched it live on TV. It was horrific
- 34:28Speaker 6: watching Runyon Canyon start on fire when I had friends
- 34:31Speaker 6: that lived right next to it, watching the flames head
- 34:34Speaker 6: towards Hollywood Boulevard. Pacific Palisades wiped out, Malibu wiped out
- 34:42Speaker 6: an urban center, Los Alta, Dina devastated. Hugh a giant
- 34:51Speaker 6: urban center, caught fire and didn't have the resources to
- 34:58Speaker 6: deal I hope we've learned, you know. I hope in
- 35:03Speaker 6: twenty twenty six and forward, we will learn how to
- 35:07Speaker 6: deal with fires in urban centers. Because the fires were
- 35:13Speaker 6: that was something that was a story and we all
- 35:15Speaker 6: watched We all watched it live. All right, when we
- 35:21Speaker 6: come back, we've got many more stories to talk about,
- 35:24Speaker 6: and we'll talk about the top movies and television shows
- 35:27Speaker 6: of the year, all of this on my New Year's Eve,
- 35:30Speaker 6: year end look back on twenty twenty five. I hope
- 35:34Speaker 6: you're having a good time I hope you're gonna have
- 35:36Speaker 6: a good time tonight. I hope you or this afternoon,
- 35:39Speaker 6: and I hope you're gonna stay safe and see us

- 35:49Speaker 6: to be you, boy, I wouldn't. I would if I

- 36:23Speaker 1: give it a go.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Correll is the one that you need to know.
- 36:29Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I was just thinking if all the
- 36:31Speaker 6: years got together and had a party, there'd be a
- 36:35Speaker 6: separate table for a few years, you know, a few
- 36:38Speaker 6: bad years two thousand and one for me? What was
- 36:41Speaker 6: one of your worst years other than twenty twenty five?
- 36:45Speaker 6: But I mean personally, what was one of your worst
- 36:48Speaker 6: years two thousand and one? Obviously for me when Andrew
- 36:51Speaker 6: died and then I lost my job at KFI, and
- 36:55Speaker 6: oh that was a well, that was a Joesy of
- 36:58Speaker 6: a year. But personally, I'm not talking about you know,
- 37:03Speaker 6: politics or whatever. Personally, what was one of your worst years?
- 37:09Speaker 6: Put it down below, put a comment down below. But
- 37:12Speaker 6: also what was one of your best years? Certainly nineteen
- 37:16Speaker 6: eighty eight, eighty nine when I met Andrew. One of
- 37:19Speaker 6: my best years. This year for me was the first
- 37:24Speaker 6: time I actually saw my music chart again in it
- 37:28Speaker 6: had been decades since my music charted, so that was
- 37:34Speaker 6: and this was the first year that I ever had
- 37:38Speaker 6: a song chart that I wrote. That's a big deal
- 37:44Speaker 6: for me. In twenty twenty five, what were some of
- 37:46Speaker 6: the milestones did you have, Miles? I mean, it wasn't
- 37:49Speaker 6: all bad. This year. Yeah, the news was all bad,
- 37:51Speaker 6: but my life wasn't all bad. Twenty twenty five had
- 37:54Speaker 6: many you know ups, it did, like record the recording
- 38:00Speaker 6: a song I wrote and it going, you know, up
- 38:03Speaker 6: to the top five. I danced because and how well
- 38:07Speaker 6: received it was, and do you want to funk? And
- 38:10Speaker 6: working with Jeanie Tracy and so twenty twenty five, you know,
- 38:14Speaker 6: had its moments. What were some of yours? I'd love
- 38:18Speaker 6: to read them, put them down below. Okay, Justin Trudeau
- 38:23Speaker 6: resigned in twenty twenty five. He stepped down as the
- 38:26Speaker 6: prime minister so he could date Katy Perry. Why are
- 38:32Speaker 6: you resigning? I really want to date Katy Perry. Okay. Whatever.
- 38:38Speaker 6: The Blatin Glacier collapse, that was a big deal. A
- 38:41Speaker 6: catastrophic glacier collapsed in the smiss Alps, devastating the village
- 38:45Speaker 6: of Blattin on May twenty eighth, twenty twenty five, buried
- 38:48Speaker 6: an entire village under a massive landslide of ice and rock.
- 38:54Speaker 6: It was triggered when the when the Birch Glacier gave
- 38:57Speaker 6: way after being destabilized by millions of cubic meters of
- 39:00Speaker 6: debris from earlier rock falls. There was a timely evacuation
- 39:05Speaker 6: so that people weren't in the village, but the village
- 39:08Speaker 6: was swallowed up. That was something. Nineteen countries are restricted
- 39:15Speaker 6: or banned from entering the US at the order of
- 39:17Speaker 6: Donald Trump. That's a huge story from twenty twenty five
- 39:22Speaker 6: and one that rocked the world. Nineteen countries. The directive
- 39:28Speaker 6: placed a full ban on Individuals from twelve nations, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Cuba,
- 39:35Speaker 6: Venezuela were placed under partial restrictions as part of these
- 39:40Speaker 6: new border security. Of course, if you're rich, you can
- 39:45Speaker 6: buy a gold card and just get past all of this.
- 39:50Speaker 6: The era of private spaceflight took another major step in
- 39:53Speaker 6: twenty twenty five with the launch of Axium Mission four
- 39:57Speaker 6: to the International Space Station. The mission lifted off on
- 40:02Speaker 6: June twenty fifth. It was significant for carrying the first
- 40:05Speaker 6: Polish and Indian astronauts in decades as part of its
- 40:09Speaker 6: four person crew. The collaboration between Axiom, SpaceX and NASA
- 40:14Speaker 6: also marked the first modern flight of the new crew
- 40:18Speaker 6: Dragon Capsule Grace. The capsule was called Grace. Also this year,
- 40:25Speaker 6: Hungary left the US or left the International Criminal Court.
- 40:31Speaker 6: It was politically charged of course it was announced as
- 40:35Speaker 6: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, who was wanted
- 40:39Speaker 6: under an active ICC arrest warrant, arrived for a state
- 40:42Speaker 6: visit in Hungary. So in order for him to visit there,
- 40:46Speaker 6: they had to leave the court or they would have
- 40:47Speaker 6: had to arrest him. So they left the court. A
- 40:52Speaker 6: peace agreement was struck between the DRC Democratic Republic of
- 40:56Speaker 6: Congo and Rwanda. After thirty seven years, however, we know
- 41:02Speaker 6: that tensions are still high and fighting is still going on.
- 41:07Speaker 6: Federal troops were deployed in LA against anti ICE protesters,
- 41:11Speaker 6: and then Portland and then Chicago, then New York, I
- 41:16Speaker 6: think New York, now Washington, d C. That was a
- 41:21Speaker 6: scary headline. A lot of these headlines are scary. Cambodia
- 41:27Speaker 6: and Thailand started fighting this year. That's, you know, not
- 41:31Speaker 6: something we wanted. Texas flooded, remember that. I remember it July.
- 41:39Speaker 6: Texas just flooded and the camp where the kids were,
- 41:44Speaker 6: all the death and mayhem that happened there. That for
- 41:50Speaker 6: Texas was the equivalent of the fires half with fire
- 41:53Speaker 6: and water. But yeah, that was something. The Texas flood.
- 41:58Speaker 6: A military helicopter during a passenger plane collided. That was
- 42:02Speaker 6: in January. The aircraft carrying sixty four people was on
- 42:06Speaker 6: its way to Reagan National Airport. Remember that most of
- 42:10Speaker 6: you forgot. Remember the plane was flying in and it
- 42:13Speaker 6: hit the helicopter and then bam, that was it. Three
- 42:19Speaker 6: service members on board. They crashed into the water. Remember that.
- 42:25Speaker 6: I did a few ask people, hey, in twenty twenty five,
- 42:27Speaker 6: did an airplane run into a helicopter? They'd be like, no, yeah,
- 42:29Speaker 6: it did. Remember we watched it again. Something we watched
- 42:33Speaker 6: live on TV, played over and over and over again,
- 42:37Speaker 6: and yet we forgot. Then, of course, we blew up
- 42:41Speaker 6: Iranian nuclear facilities. We launched missiles on Iran in twenty
- 42:47Speaker 6: twenty five. These stories be wearing me out, you know. Really,
- 42:57Speaker 6: he renamed the Gulf of Mexico, called it the Gulf
- 43:01Speaker 6: of America. Remember that was a big story. I don't
- 43:05Speaker 6: think anyone pays attention to it. I don't think anyone
- 43:07Speaker 6: calls it that, but he did it. So these are
- 43:13Speaker 6: just some of the big stories of twenty twenty five.
- 43:16Speaker 6: I just can't you know, ap if you go to
- 43:19Speaker 6: their year end review, it's even more depressing, you know,
- 43:26Speaker 6: it's even more depressing FEIFA. Remember they gave Trump a
- 43:31Speaker 6: piece of word. Oh yeah, that was that was that
- 43:35Speaker 6: was something we have bad Bunny being named to do
- 43:39Speaker 6: the super Bowl in twenty twenty five, first time a
- 43:43Speaker 6: Puerto Rican non English speaking act. Although the super Bowl is,
- 43:49Speaker 6: you know, coming up today, it didn't tomorrow. There's a
- 43:53Speaker 6: lot of games, a lot of games tomorrow. So that's
- 43:57Speaker 6: that's big news for twenty twenty five. What else? What
- 44:01Speaker 6: are their key moments and trends where they're let's see
- 44:06Speaker 6: AP film writers ranked the best movies. What do they
- 44:09Speaker 6: have to say about the best movies of twenty twenty five.
- 44:11Speaker 6: Everyone keeps talking about this Timothy Challamey movie where Marty Supreme,
- 44:15Speaker 6: but none of us have seen it. Oh yeah, we
- 44:19Speaker 6: lost Robert Redford, We lost Diane Keaton. Oh we lost
- 44:24Speaker 6: so many fabulous people. We lost Jane Goodall, We lost
- 44:28Speaker 6: Jeane Happen. Remember that his wife got the Haunta virus
- 44:33Speaker 6: and died and then he pretty much died of a
- 44:35Speaker 6: broken heart sitting on his porch. Oh, I'd forgotten that story.
- 44:42Speaker 6: That was something. Maybe we should switch and talking These
- 44:45Speaker 6: are depressing me. I don't want to be depressed on
- 44:47Speaker 6: New Year's eve. You know, let's let's talk something more fun,
- 44:51Speaker 6: like movies and television and all of that, because boys,
- 44:56Speaker 6: some of these stories they are they're really depressing me.
- 45:00Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know about you, Charlie Kirk. That's
- 45:05Speaker 6: certainly one of the biggest stories of twenty twenty five,
- 45:10Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk. Val Kilmer passed away as well. Not just
- 45:15Speaker 6: Robert Redford, but the assassination of Charlie Kirk. That certainly shaped,
- 45:20Speaker 6: you know, our our narrative, our country, you know it,
- 45:25Speaker 6: it shaped a lot. Rob Reiner being murdered. Didn't have
- 45:32Speaker 6: that on our bingo card for you know, twenty twenty five,
- 45:35Speaker 6: did you? I certainly didn't. What a year. Wow, hearing
- 45:41Speaker 6: all this is just real. Putting all this together in
- 45:43Speaker 6: one spot, it's it's no wonder we're exhausted. We should
- 45:50Speaker 6: all just sleep, which you know, we'ch just go to bed.
- 45:56Speaker 6: Twenty twenty five was exhausting. For the arts. It was
- 46:01Speaker 6: the year that we saw the pit. Noah Wiley came
- 46:05Speaker 6: back to television and What Is Being Held is the
- 46:07Speaker 6: best show of twenty twenty five. I adored it. A
- 46:11Speaker 6: medical show, Noah Wiley fabulous. It was wonderful. The Lowdown
- 46:17Speaker 6: on TV saw Reservoir Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harrow brought
- 46:24Speaker 6: another Oklahoma story life. It's called The low Down. If
- 46:28Speaker 6: you haven't seen it, it's on Disney Plus and Hulu
- 46:31Speaker 6: and FX. Really great show. The film Black Bag. Many
- 46:37Speaker 6: people have forgotten that Kate Blanchette written by David Kepp
- 46:41Speaker 6: Michael Fassbender. That was wonderful. Alien Earth, that's certainly one
- 46:48Speaker 6: of the best TV shows this year. If y'all haven't
- 46:51Speaker 6: seen that show, oh my god, it's so good. It's
- 46:54Speaker 6: so good. And The Residents was picked by many, including
- 47:00Speaker 6: pr as one of the best shows of the year.
- 47:02Speaker 6: In Netflix canceled it. Same with Boots, yet in an
- 47:07Speaker 6: effort to get approval for their big merger, they canceled
- 47:12Speaker 6: The Residents and Boots. And the Resident was so cute,
- 47:16Speaker 6: it was a who Done It at the White House?
- 47:18Speaker 6: And the character Cordelia cup I could watch more and
- 47:21Speaker 6: more and more and more of her, so good. What
- 47:27Speaker 6: else Mountainhead? Oh that movie, Oh it was about all
- 47:32Speaker 6: those rich people that pretty much engineer the end of
- 47:35Speaker 6: the world. And then there was the movie that really
- 47:39Speaker 6: ripped my guts out, a perfect strange The Perfect Neighbor
- 47:43Speaker 6: that's on Netflix if you haven't seen it. It was a
- 47:45Speaker 6: documentary or was it a movie. I think it's a movie,
- 47:50Speaker 6: and it really God, this white lady just kills this
- 47:55Speaker 6: black lady for for no reason, you know, for no
- 48:00Speaker 6: ethan And there were all these events that should have
- 48:03Speaker 6: led people to know that it was going to happen.
- 48:06Speaker 6: But then for film, we had a house of dynamite
- 48:11Speaker 6: and the fact the most important part of that movie
- 48:14Speaker 6: and why it was important in twenty twenty five, it
- 48:18Speaker 6: showed that in order to react, they only have about
- 48:22Speaker 6: twenty minutes. So basically, the decision to end the world
- 48:29Speaker 6: as we know it if they detect a missile launch,
- 48:33Speaker 6: that decision is made in about eighteen minutes. Can you
- 48:40Speaker 6: imagine having to decide whether or not the world is
- 48:43Speaker 6: going to end as you know it in eighteen minutes.
- 48:48Speaker 6: I wouldn't want that weapons. That was a really good
- 48:52Speaker 6: horror movie, not as good as Sinners. Sinners is my
- 48:55Speaker 6: favorite of the year. My favorite movie of the year
- 48:58Speaker 6: was Sinners. It had music, it had great performances, it
- 49:03Speaker 6: had Michael B. Jordan, Oh Sweet Jesus, and it was
- 49:08Speaker 6: just so innovative for a vampire movie. I hope it
- 49:12Speaker 6: wins Oscars. I hope that it ends up winning Oscars.
- 49:15Speaker 6: But Weapons was equally as good, and weapons was a
- 49:20Speaker 6: big analogy for school shootings. Of course, twenty twenty five
- 49:24Speaker 6: was the year of the Bondie Beat shooting in Australia.
- 49:27Speaker 6: They'll remember that forever. We've already forgotten. It was two
- 49:32Speaker 6: weeks ago. Most of you have forgotten. I have not,
- 49:37Speaker 6: Jews have not, and the people of Australia have not.
- 49:42Speaker 6: But that was there Frankenstein with my future husband, Jacob Elordi.
- 49:47Speaker 6: It's one of the best movies of the year. I
- 49:48Speaker 6: loved it. A great retelling, the same as Superman. I
- 49:53Speaker 6: loved that twinless, I loved Dylan O'Brien and James Sweeney.
- 49:59Speaker 6: Was a great movie, really low key independent film, but
- 50:03Speaker 6: seeing Dylan O'Brien play Gaye just made my heart sing.
- 50:08Speaker 6: Blue Lights. That's been named one of the best shows
- 50:11Speaker 6: of the year. It's on brit Box and it's a
- 50:15Speaker 6: cop show. I watched two shows on brit Box now
- 50:19Speaker 6: that and Silent Witness which season twenty eight twenty nine,
- 50:24Speaker 6: something like that. Great show. If you haven't seen it,
- 50:28Speaker 6: The Traders, I hear is really great. It's on a
- 50:30Speaker 6: lot of year end list hosted by Alan Cummings. I
- 50:34Speaker 6: haven't really seen it. One battle after another is being
- 50:38Speaker 6: hailed as one of the greatest movies of the year.
- 50:40Speaker 6: I don't think it is. This is where I disagree
- 50:42Speaker 6: with the people that make all the list. I thought
- 50:46Speaker 6: it was okay, but the greatest movie of the year. No,
- 50:53Speaker 6: I'm gonna go on a limb here and say, no,
- 50:56Speaker 6: what movies or TV did you love this year? Put
- 51:00Speaker 6: them down below. I'd love to hear from you. Am
- 51:02Speaker 6: I missing any Are you you know? Are you disagreeing
- 51:07Speaker 6: with some of these? Have you not seen any of them?
- 51:10Speaker 6: A lot of them are streaming, but some of you
- 51:12Speaker 6: don't pay for streaming. Some of you don't, you know,
- 51:15Speaker 6: like the streaming. But entertainment things bigs me, so, you know. Sometimes.
- 51:23Speaker 6: All right, we'll finish up the last segment of the year.
- 51:25Speaker 6: Oh my god, the last segment of the year is.
- 51:29Speaker 3: Nice Sata no is show side.
- 51:59Speaker 10: Wow.
- 52:00Speaker 6: It just hit me, It really did, just hit me
- 52:04Speaker 6: that this was the last segment of the year. We
- 52:07Speaker 6: have done four shows a week for fifty two weeks,
- 52:13Speaker 6: so two hundred and eight shows basically wow, wow, Actually
- 52:21Speaker 6: right about two hundred. There were some I missed. I'm sorry,
- 52:25Speaker 6: but I've done two hundred shows this year, two hundred
- 52:30Speaker 6: times that you welcomed me into your homes, your cars,
- 52:34Speaker 6: your headphones. Two hundred times, including tonight, that I've sat
- 52:42Speaker 6: here and commented and you know, said all kinds of
- 52:47Speaker 6: things to you. You stuck with me through all the
- 52:51Speaker 6: medical anxiety. You know, yesterday's show, maybe you watched it,
- 52:55Speaker 6: maybe you didn't, maybe you tuned out, but having then
- 53:00Speaker 6: at the clinic where Eric Dane you know, went, and
- 53:05Speaker 6: this was the year of my als scare, This was
- 53:09Speaker 6: the year of the repercussions from last year of that
- 53:13Speaker 6: damn shot, and so on this last segment of like
- 53:20Speaker 6: my two hundredth show, I just can't thank you enough.
- 53:26Speaker 6: I just it's really the patrons. It it's the patrons,
- 53:33Speaker 6: And I can't thank you patrons enough. I would not
- 53:36Speaker 6: have made it through the year without you. You literally
- 53:40Speaker 6: paid the bills, and you know, you made it easier
- 53:45Speaker 6: for me to be me this year. I can't. Oh,
- 53:49Speaker 6: I'm getting all them, you know. New Year's Eve makes
- 53:51Speaker 6: me so fucking emotional. I can't. You know, I had
- 53:55Speaker 6: more movies. I wanted to tell you about more music,
- 53:57Speaker 6: but the final segment of the year, we have think
- 54:00Speaker 6: of all the shit we have talked about this year, painful,
- 54:06Speaker 6: painful stuff, stuff that infuriated us, and then happy stuff,
- 54:14Speaker 6: you know, fun interviews and fun topics. And we've gone
- 54:19Speaker 6: through it all together, you and me, you and I
- 54:23Speaker 6: with Ember, And I'm gonna be so blessed if I
- 54:29Speaker 6: can do it again next year, if we make it
- 54:33Speaker 6: through another year to another New Year's Eve, if Trump
- 54:37Speaker 6: doesn't come after me, if Maga doesn't come after me,
- 54:40Speaker 6: if I'm look the future, you know, on this New
- 54:43Speaker 6: Year's Eve, I look to the future this next year,
- 54:46Speaker 6: and I may not be in this room come next
- 54:50Speaker 6: New Year's Eve. I may be in a different house
- 54:54Speaker 6: here in Vegas. I may be in a different state
- 54:57Speaker 6: in the United States, or I may be in a
- 55:00Speaker 6: different country. Or I may be dead. You know that
- 55:04Speaker 6: it's a possibility and you can't rule it out. So
- 55:10Speaker 6: that's exciting to think about, you know what I mean.
- 55:13Speaker 6: Isn't it exciting to think that we don't know where
- 55:19Speaker 6: we're going to be next New Year's Eve. Trump could
- 55:21Speaker 6: be dead, he could be just like I could be
- 55:25Speaker 6: or you could be he's old, he's sick, and he's
- 55:29Speaker 6: pissing off a lot of venezuel and drug cartels. The
- 55:34Speaker 6: Democrats could win the House and Senate in the year
- 55:36Speaker 6: to come, and come next New Year's Eve, we could
- 55:40Speaker 6: be in a completely different place politically. But I know
- 55:44Speaker 6: that we're going to talk about it right here, just
- 55:49Speaker 6: like we've done two hundred times this year. Wow, I
- 55:57Speaker 6: am emotional right now. I am gravity of the day,
- 56:01Speaker 6: you know, and the the thought that going through all
- 56:07Speaker 6: of these stories, you know all this, and we didn't
- 56:13Speaker 6: we just touched the surface of the stories. There were
- 56:16Speaker 6: so many other things that happened. We just can't even
- 56:22Speaker 6: There were fun shows like Murder Bought with my future
- 56:25Speaker 6: husband Alexander Scarasgard. There was Adolescents and Sinners, and there
- 56:31Speaker 6: was Pluribus, very interesting show on Apple TV. A lot
- 56:36Speaker 6: of these shows reflecting the cultural changes going on right
- 56:42Speaker 6: now in our country. But Wow, two hundred times you
- 56:49Speaker 6: and I have sat here and tried to figure it
- 56:52Speaker 6: all out together. You know, Tonight New Year's Eve, maybe
- 57:00Speaker 6: you're alone. I will be. I'll be alone at midnight.
- 57:04Speaker 6: I'll be asleep in bed with ember By myself. I
- 57:07Speaker 6: may go to the pub by myself. If Steve doesn't
- 57:08Speaker 6: want to go. He still hasn't told me if he
- 57:10Speaker 6: wants to go. I may be alone. It's okay. It's
- 57:15Speaker 6: fine because A I get to be with you every
- 57:19Speaker 6: day and B you know, we are born alone, we
- 57:24Speaker 6: die alone. So being alone on New Year's Eve is okay.
- 57:29Speaker 6: But I'm emotional because every year takes its toll, and
- 57:36Speaker 6: this year took a toll on me. It really did. Emotionally.
- 57:42Speaker 6: This was a heavy year for me because of the country.
- 57:48Speaker 6: Never in my life in sixty three years have I
- 57:52Speaker 6: lived through a year in my country like this. And
- 57:54Speaker 6: I've been gay under Reagan and Bush, but never, never
- 57:59Speaker 6: in my life have I lived through a year like this.
- 58:03Speaker 6: And I can't tell you how I would have gone
- 58:05Speaker 6: insane if I didn't have you to go through it
- 58:10Speaker 6: with and to hear your comments and to get support
- 58:15Speaker 6: from people like Jim Schnabel and Rachel Kapper and Randy
- 58:19Speaker 6: Radar and all the others, Sue Jaeger, and there's countless others,
- 58:25Speaker 6: Darren Holme, Quisk and Phineas and just so many Sandy
- 58:29Speaker 6: and just there's so many people, all the chatters, but
- 58:33Speaker 6: Beta just all the different people. Your support got me
- 58:38Speaker 6: through this year. It got me through, and I hoped
- 58:41Speaker 6: I helped get you through this year, just a little
- 58:46Speaker 6: little hour a day. I hope that it helped you
- 58:50Speaker 6: make it now. I don't know what's coming our way
- 58:53Speaker 6: next year. I don't could be good, could be bad,
- 58:58Speaker 6: could be world ending, world war I don't know. But
- 59:03Speaker 6: I do know if we had the strength and the
- 59:07Speaker 6: courage and the wherewithal to get through this year, that
- 59:12Speaker 6: we'll get it. We'll make it. We'll make it together.
- 59:17Speaker 6: So for the last time in twenty twenty five, I
- 59:23Speaker 6: am Correl. Be who you want to be, so long
- 59:27Speaker 6: as it doesn't hurt you, buddy. Thank you so much
