Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: No time to fear. Corral is so near because.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Showtime is here.
- 0:04Speaker 3: So on with the show.
- 0:07Speaker 4: Let's give it a go. Corral is the one that
- 0:10Speaker 4: you need to know. Now it's Showtime.
- 0:28Speaker 5: They live public lives, but should they have private deaths?
- 0:32Speaker 5: We're going to talk about that, and we're going to
- 0:34Speaker 5: talk about so much more on today's Carell Show, including
- 0:37Speaker 5: we just lost another one. Yep, we just did, just now.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Now it's your turn.
- 0:48Speaker 5: It is The Carell Show. I am Carell. So very
- 0:50Speaker 5: glad you are joining me. We just lost another one,
- 0:53Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen. 80 years old. Another 80-year-old. And no,
- 0:56Speaker 5: it's not Donald Trump. And I know we all wish
- 0:58Speaker 5: that it were. Oh, I have something on my face.
- 1:01Speaker 5: How could you let me have that? How could my
- 1:03Speaker 5: dog let me come on here with chocolate on my face?
- 1:07Speaker 5: Or whatever this is. What have I been doing? Rimming
- 1:10Speaker 5: a Smurf? What is it? It's right over here. Do
- 1:13Speaker 5: you see it? Am I disfigured horribly for the rest
- 1:17Speaker 5: of my life? Okay, whatever. Probably God knows what. God
- 1:23Speaker 5: knows what, really. All right, so we start the show
- 1:27Speaker 5: on another bit of sad news. And that is that
- 1:31Speaker 5: 80-year-old Tim Curry has passed away. Frankenfutter from the original
- 1:35Speaker 5: Rocky Horror. The Clown from It. The Butler from Clue,
- 1:40Speaker 5: the original Clue. Mr. Homolka from the movie Congo. And
- 1:46Speaker 5: so many other roles Tim Curry played. A fabulous actor.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Always sometimes played a weird character. Did it very well.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Passed away this morning at 80 years old. We don't
- 1:57Speaker 5: know of what yet. And of course, I am still
- 2:00Speaker 5: not over Dolly Parton. I know that sounds odd. We
- 2:03Speaker 5: weren't best friends. I didn't know her. But I just,
- 2:07Speaker 5: I am not over her loss. Because Dolly Parton was...
- 2:14Speaker 5: probably one of 10 people in the entire planet that
- 2:20Speaker 5: everybody liked. Nobody disliked Dolly Parton. Nobody. There's not anyone
- 2:27Speaker 5: out there saying anything bad about her. Nobody disliked Dolly Parton.
- 2:33Speaker 5: And so here we are, the day after her death,
- 2:36Speaker 5: where everybody, everybody was so moved by it. And It's
- 2:43Speaker 5: made me think so much about mortality. Tim Curry, 80.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Dolly Parton, 80. I'm 63. So what? I got 17
- 2:52Speaker 5: years left? It's not that far. Not that much at all.
- 2:58Speaker 5: So it's made me think about mortality. Jack Nicholson said
- 3:03Speaker 5: it to Vanity Fair about 20 years ago when they
- 3:06Speaker 5: asked him about aging. And he said, the one thing
- 3:09Speaker 5: that really sucks is that all of your friends and
- 3:12Speaker 5: icons begin to die and don't stop. And he said,
- 3:16Speaker 5: no one warns you about that when you get older.
- 3:19Speaker 5: No one says, hey, once you reach 60, your friends
- 3:23Speaker 5: and your icons are going to start dropping like flies.
- 3:26Speaker 5: But they do. And today, with Tim Curry's passing, yet
- 3:32Speaker 5: another person I grew up with. I saw Rocky Horror
- 3:36Speaker 5: in my teens. I was like probably 14, 15, 1976, 77,
- 3:41Speaker 5: somewhere around there. And it became a sensation. And I've
- 3:45Speaker 5: done the Time Warp countless times and the Midnight Movie
- 3:48Speaker 5: and the whole thing. And then he went on, of course,
- 3:51Speaker 5: to other roles. And now he's gone. People say, oh, well,
- 3:55Speaker 5: you know, it happens in threes. Well, then we know
- 3:57Speaker 5: the third one that we'd like it to be. But
- 4:00Speaker 5: with Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton chose happiness. It was a choice. Now,
- 4:08Speaker 5: you're going to say it's easy to be happy when
- 4:10Speaker 5: you're rich. But no, it's not. Look at Elon Musk.
- 4:12Speaker 5: He's a miserable fuck of a human. You know, Dolly
- 4:17Speaker 5: chose to not be a billionaire. She could have been.
- 4:21Speaker 5: All the songs she's written, all the money she's gotten,
- 4:24Speaker 5: she could have been a billionaire. Instead, she chose to
- 4:27Speaker 5: give that money away. Do you know what she did
- 4:30Speaker 5: with all the money to I Will Always Love You
- 4:32Speaker 5: that when Whitney recorded it and made her a total
- 4:34Speaker 5: of $ 16 million in publishing? Never would have happened today,
- 4:39Speaker 5: by the way. See, this is what I'm saying about
- 4:41Speaker 5: how the music industry is dying. Dolly Parton made $ 16
- 4:45Speaker 5: million off of I Will Always Love You because she
- 4:48Speaker 5: was the publisher. She wrote the song. But would she
- 4:51Speaker 5: make that today with streaming? Nah, she wouldn't even make
- 4:54Speaker 5: a fraction of that. But she empowered a neighborhood. in
- 4:59Speaker 5: an inner city. That's what she did with the money.
- 5:03Speaker 5: And she said it was her way of giving back
- 5:05Speaker 5: to Whitney and to Whitney's community. She sent over 200
- 5:11Speaker 5: million books at a time when Trump is cutting, including
- 5:15Speaker 5: her imagination library he cut. What did she do? She
- 5:20Speaker 5: just went and got the money somewhere else. She chose happiness.
- 5:27Speaker 5: She chose optimism. She chose humor. And she chose love.
- 5:35Speaker 5: And I really, and subsequently no one's talking ill of
- 5:38Speaker 5: her as she's died. That, I want that. I want that. But,
- 5:46Speaker 5: I think you gotta be a dollar.

- 6:21Speaker 1: Showtime is here, no time to fear. Carell is so
- 6:26Speaker 1: near because Showtime is here.
- 6:28Speaker 4: So on with the show, let's give it a go.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Carell is the one that you need to know.
- 6:37Speaker 5: So we have these high-profile deaths, and everyone says the
- 6:41Speaker 5: third is Hayden Pantieri. It could have been. Hayden Pantieri,
- 6:45Speaker 5: and then Dolly Parton, and then Tim Curry. By the way,
- 6:49Speaker 5: there's a name for humans finding patterns in random things.
- 6:54Speaker 5: More than three people have died in the last week.
- 6:57Speaker 5: And more than three famous people have died in the
- 7:00Speaker 5: last week. We just heard about these three the most.
- 7:04Speaker 5: But one of the things on social media that I
- 7:07Speaker 5: did that's getting a lot of comments and a lot
- 7:09Speaker 5: of discussion, there was a 29-year-old adult male film star.
- 7:14Speaker 5: You guys wouldn't know him. I didn't know him. He's handsome.
- 7:18Speaker 5: I guess you don't do porn if you're ugly. They
- 7:20Speaker 5: should have ugly porn. Instead of OnlyFans, ugly porn. Probably
- 7:24Speaker 5: make a fortune. But anyway, he died. And they posted
- 7:28Speaker 5: it on social media under Pink News. It was a
- 7:31Speaker 5: company or a website called Pink News. And I posted
- 7:35Speaker 5: under there, I am so tired of them posting about
- 7:39Speaker 5: people dying and not telling us how. Particularly when it's
- 7:45Speaker 5: a 29-year-old. Because if you don't tell us, we're going
- 7:48Speaker 5: to automatically assume drugs, alcohol, whatever, suicide. See, Dolly's people
- 7:55Speaker 5: yesterday did something very rare in today's world. They released
- 8:00Speaker 5: her cause of death before the end of the day. Now,
- 8:04Speaker 5: Dolly probably found out that she had cancer and kept
- 8:07Speaker 5: it from her fans.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Why?
- 8:10Speaker 5: Because in her mind, being the optimist that she is,
- 8:13Speaker 5: or was, she probably thought, I'm going to beat it.
- 8:17Speaker 5: I'll beat the cancer and then they'll never have to know.
- 8:19Speaker 5: I'll just tell them I was feeling poorly and now
- 8:21Speaker 5: I'm feeling better. In her mind. And then she figured
- 8:26Speaker 5: if I don't beat it, well, I'll die and they'll
- 8:28Speaker 5: know that I had it anyway. But after she died,
- 8:33Speaker 5: the family released that she had gone into the hospital
- 8:36Speaker 5: four days previous and that she had a short bout
- 8:40Speaker 5: with cancer. She would have made the joke if it
- 8:43Speaker 5: was breast cancer or she was a goner. But So
- 8:48Speaker 5: we don't wonder, like, how did Dolly die? We know, cancer,
- 8:52Speaker 5: complications from cancer. Kidney failure is what she went in
- 8:55Speaker 5: the hospital with. So, and that could have been from
- 8:59Speaker 5: the chemo. That could have been from, you know, we
- 9:01Speaker 5: don't know what caused the kidney failure and autoimmune issues. Again,
- 9:06Speaker 5: those could have been complications of chemo. But we at
- 9:09Speaker 5: least know. So under the 29-year-old's post, I put news outlets...
- 9:18Speaker 5: should be as thorough as they can be about the
- 9:20Speaker 5: cause of death. And families that say, you know, oh,
- 9:25Speaker 5: we would like privacy. We're not going to release the
- 9:27Speaker 5: cause of death. It's like, wait a minute. This is
- 9:30Speaker 5: a public person. Okay? Public people don't get private deaths.
- 9:37Speaker 5: I know they maybe like that. I know the family
- 9:40Speaker 5: would maybe like that. But when you're a public person,
- 9:44Speaker 5: and when Andrew died, The next day, in Variety, I
- 9:48Speaker 5: opened up and saw his obituary. They had his cause
- 9:51Speaker 5: of death wrong. They had it listed as possible complications
- 9:56Speaker 5: of AIDS. It was not. It was a pulmonary embolism. Actually,
- 10:02Speaker 5: it wasn't even a pulmonary embolism. It was a blood
- 10:04Speaker 5: clot in his heart. Didn't start in his lungs. And
- 10:08Speaker 5: so I released the cause of death as soon as
- 10:11Speaker 5: I had it. As soon as the autopsy was done,
- 10:14Speaker 5: I released the cause of death to the media so
- 10:18Speaker 5: they could get it right, even though Dennis Prager still
- 10:21Speaker 5: insisted it was AIDS and I wanted to punch him
- 10:23Speaker 5: in his smug little fucking face. But I just don't
- 10:28Speaker 5: understand how families call for privacy when the person's whole
- 10:34Speaker 5: life was lived in public. You don't get to live
- 10:38Speaker 5: a public life and then die in private. That's not
- 10:41Speaker 5: how it works. And if you don't like that, become
- 10:44Speaker 5: a banker, become a grocery store clerk. Don't be a celebrity.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Because when celebrities or famous politicians die, we're going to
- 10:55Speaker 5: want to know how. And in news agencies, I mean,
- 10:59Speaker 5: with Michael Jackson, we knew it was propofol within a day.
- 11:04Speaker 5: You know, we've got to stop this, oh, they're dead,
- 11:07Speaker 5: and not telling people why. Well, that has gotten over
- 11:10Speaker 5: 200 likes. I am not the only person that is
- 11:14Speaker 5: tired of news agencies saying, oh yeah, they're dead, but
- 11:18Speaker 5: not telling us the why, the where, the how. They
- 11:23Speaker 5: tell us the what, they're dead. But what about the where,
- 11:28Speaker 5: the when, the why? That's called reporting. But of course,
- 11:33Speaker 5: no one does their jobs anymore, particularly when it comes
- 11:36Speaker 5: to reporting. So what do you think? Do you think,
- 11:41Speaker 5: because I believe if you live a public life, when
- 11:44Speaker 5: you die, your family has a responsibility to tell your fans,
- 11:49Speaker 5: to tell the public how it happened. Even if it's embarrassing.
- 11:53Speaker 5: I mean, Elvis Presley died on, not on the toilet,
- 11:57Speaker 5: but he started having the heart attack on the toilet,
- 12:00Speaker 5: fell off, crawled to the door, died on the way
- 12:03Speaker 5: to the door in the bathroom. Now, I'm quite sure
- 12:07Speaker 5: he wouldn't want us to know that, be talking about that.
- 12:12Speaker 5: But it's how it happened. The truth is the truth. Now,
- 12:20Speaker 5: when you're 29 and you die, it's not natural causes.
- 12:24Speaker 5: You know, everyone's like, with Dolly, with Dolly it wasn't
- 12:27Speaker 5: natural causes. 80, she was going strong. She was a
- 12:30Speaker 5: healthy 80-year-old.
- 12:33Speaker 3: You know?
- 12:35Speaker 5: So it wasn't, you know, and someone said, fuck cancer.
- 12:39Speaker 5: I said, you know, I used to say that too,
- 12:40Speaker 5: fuck cancer. But cancer is us. Every day we make
- 12:46Speaker 5: cancer cells in our bodies. Every day. And our immune
- 12:50Speaker 5: system takes care of them until it no longer can.
- 12:54Speaker 5: The word cancer is assigned to any fast group of
- 12:59Speaker 5: growing cells.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Malignant.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Your body makes new cells every day. Some of them
- 13:07Speaker 5: are flawed. Some, the body destroys. Others, the body says, oh,
- 13:12Speaker 5: I think I can fix that cell. I'll put it
- 13:15Speaker 5: to the side and get to it. But then when
- 13:19Speaker 5: it puts it to the side, that defective cell starts multiplying,
- 13:24Speaker 5: multiplying quickly. That's cancer. Cancer is a defective cell that
- 13:31Speaker 5: multiplies quickly. That's what it is. All chemotherapy does is
- 13:36Speaker 5: kill the fast-growing cells in your body. That's why you
- 13:40Speaker 5: lose your hair, your nails, because those are the fastest-growing cells.
- 13:45Speaker 5: So when you say, fuck cancer, what you're really saying is,
- 13:49Speaker 5: fuck my body. Because your body is growing the cancer.
- 13:53Speaker 5: It does not come from an outside agent. It doesn't
- 13:57Speaker 5: come from above. It's malignant cells in your body... that
- 14:02Speaker 5: are reproducing faster than your immune system can take care
- 14:06Speaker 5: of them. That's all cancer is. So it's not really
- 14:10Speaker 5: fuck cancer, it's fuck science. Why hasn't science cured this
- 14:17Speaker 5: by now? We know what cancer is. We know how
- 14:21Speaker 5: it starts, how it spreads. We know now what the
- 14:24Speaker 5: most prevalent ones are. And we're just now getting the
- 14:29Speaker 5: cancer vaccines. A new one released for pancreatitis, or I'm sorry,
- 14:34Speaker 5: pancreatic cancer today. A new drug which extends the life
- 14:39Speaker 5: to double, which only takes it from like 12 months
- 14:43Speaker 5: to 24. But if that's you and you're given 12
- 14:47Speaker 5: more months, you'll take it. Glioblastoma multiforme. Kills you in
- 14:52Speaker 5: 12 months. No medications. No treatments. Why? We have data
- 14:57Speaker 5: centers now everywhere. We have... massive computer brains thinking all
- 15:03Speaker 5: kinds of stuff. They can't solve cancer? Of course they can.
- 15:09Speaker 5: And it's time. It's time to put every data center
- 15:13Speaker 5: on the planet to work solving the cancer problem. Because
- 15:19Speaker 5: no one should die of pancreatic cancer. No one should
- 15:22Speaker 5: die of glioblastoma multiforme. These are just fast-producing cells. No
- 15:30Speaker 5: one should die from their body turning on them. I mean,
- 15:34Speaker 5: I know we all have to die of something, but
- 15:36Speaker 5: cancer is not something we should die from. It should
- 15:40Speaker 5: be fixed. And science should fix it and fix it fast.
- 15:45Speaker 5: Not just because of Dolly Parton. There's many great people from,
- 15:51Speaker 5: you know, the waitress at your favorite restaurant to the
- 15:54Speaker 5: mom of your favorite fourth grader that have in fact
- 15:58Speaker 5: died from cancer and shouldn't have. Science needs to fix this.
- 16:04Speaker 5: And there is great work being done. There is a
- 16:07Speaker 5: vaccine that's getting approved. If you take it, if you
- 16:11Speaker 5: have melanoma and you're on Keytruda and they got rid
- 16:15Speaker 5: of your melanoma, you take the shot with your Keytruda
- 16:18Speaker 5: and your melanoma will not come back. And now they're
- 16:22Speaker 5: saying they can do it with other cancers. to where
- 16:26Speaker 5: you have breast cancer, you get the tumor taken out,
- 16:29Speaker 5: you have whatever lymph nodes are involved taken out, you
- 16:32Speaker 5: get your chemo, you're done. Then you take this shot
- 16:37Speaker 5: and this Keytruda and you never have to worry about
- 16:40Speaker 5: breast cancer coming back. That's how it should be. And yes,
- 16:45Speaker 5: it took AI and gene sequencing to do it, but
- 16:48Speaker 5: that's what it's good for. That's what we should be
- 16:51Speaker 5: doing with AI. That's what we should be doing with
- 16:54Speaker 5: gene sequencing. so people don't have to die of these
- 17:00Speaker 5: horrible diseases. But when they do, I really feel, if
- 17:05Speaker 5: they are a public person, that their people owe it
- 17:10Speaker 5: to all of us to tell us how they died.
- 17:13Speaker 5: Especially young people, like Hayden Panettiere. She was like 34, 35,
- 17:19Speaker 5: I think, 36 maybe. Well, then how did she die?
- 17:24Speaker 5: Was it an OD? Was it alcohol? What? How did
- 17:28Speaker 5: she die? Then they release it like three weeks later. Oh,
- 17:33Speaker 5: cause of death finally revealed for... And I know that
- 17:36Speaker 5: tox reports... I had to wait three weeks for Andrew's
- 17:38Speaker 5: tox report. I get it. I know how long they take. Oh, Kirill,
- 17:43Speaker 5: you don't know any... Yeah, I do. I went through
- 17:46Speaker 5: with Andrew. I had to wait for the toxicology report,
- 17:49Speaker 5: even though we found the blood clot and knew that
- 17:52Speaker 5: it was a blood clot. So I get it. But
- 17:57Speaker 5: they owe it to us. I mean, the universe took
- 18:03Speaker 5: Dolly way too soon. We should know why. Now we do. Cancer.
- 18:09Speaker 5: It is absolutely... Yes, James Schnabel. This is right up
- 18:14Speaker 5: his alley. There is a gentleman in my chat room.
- 18:16Speaker 5: His name is James Schnabel. He was a pathologist, which
- 18:21Speaker 5: means he diagnosed cancers. He was in the lab portion
- 18:26Speaker 5: of it. The person who actually looked at the cells
- 18:29Speaker 5: and said, yes, this is cancer. No, it's not. It's
- 18:33Speaker 5: stage one, stage two, stage three, whatever. And he just
- 18:37Speaker 5: said there has been great progress in mRNA technology. Yes. Yes,
- 18:42Speaker 5: and that's what I want my computing power going for.
- 18:46Speaker 5: mRNA technology, which Dolly Parton helped pay for. She gave
- 18:52Speaker 5: $ 2 million to Moderna to help develop mRNA vaccines. As
- 18:57Speaker 5: Donald Trump was cutting funding, as no one was trying
- 19:01Speaker 5: to pay for a COVID vaccine, Dolly Parton did. She
- 19:06Speaker 5: did so many wonderful things we should all just strive
- 19:09Speaker 5: to be like Dolly Parton. It really made me examine
- 19:13Speaker 5: the show. You know, how would Dolly Parton do a
- 19:16Speaker 5: talk show? Well, she tried and it didn't really go well, but,
- 19:20Speaker 5: you know, what would she concentrate on? I think she'd
- 19:25Speaker 5: concentrate on the good stuff. I don't think she'd sit
- 19:29Speaker 5: here every day. You know, I heard David Pakman say
- 19:32Speaker 5: that after the midterms, if the Democrats win and Trump
- 19:37Speaker 5: doesn't try to stop them, which he already is, um,
- 19:41Speaker 5: I heard that David Pakman, I don't know if it
- 19:43Speaker 5: was in jest, but he said that they were going
- 19:46Speaker 5: to try to move away from talking about Donald Trump
- 19:49Speaker 5: after this. the midterms. And I thought to myself, God,
- 19:54Speaker 5: wouldn't I love to do that? And then I thought, well,
- 19:58Speaker 5: what's stopping you? And the answer is fear. You see,
- 20:02Speaker 5: I have to rely on Patreon. I can't survive without
- 20:06Speaker 5: the Patreon. I can't. It is now part of my,
- 20:10Speaker 5: and it needs to be at least $ 1, 000 a month.
- 20:14Speaker 5: And to keep it that way, I can't just do
- 20:17Speaker 5: a vegan cooking show or the people that pay for
- 20:21Speaker 5: the show, my boss, they like the political content. I don't.
- 20:28Speaker 5: Not anymore. Especially after yesterday. Dolly has shown me that
- 20:33Speaker 5: if I want to die, and be thought of as
- 20:36Speaker 5: a kind, generous, giving, happy person. That I must live
- 20:42Speaker 5: every day like a kind, generous, happy person. Talking about
- 20:50Speaker 5: the terror of Trump every day does not make you
- 20:53Speaker 5: a kind, generous, happy person. It makes you sad, angry,
- 21:01Speaker 5: and I don't I'm not jiggy with that anymore. That's
- 21:05Speaker 5: just not who I want to be. I want to
- 21:06Speaker 5: be more like Dolly. I do. I want more laughter
- 21:11Speaker 5: in my life than sadness. She had a lot of
- 21:14Speaker 5: laughter in her life. Cher was asked by Gayle King,
- 21:17Speaker 5: what will you miss most about Dolly? And Cher said
- 21:20Speaker 5: her laugh. Cher, who has now lost Dolly Parton and
- 21:25Speaker 5: Tina Turner and her husband. She suffered a lot, and
- 21:30Speaker 5: her mother. Sheriff suffered a lot of loss in 82 years.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Of course, haven't we all?
- 21:51Speaker 2: You have to be proud.
- 21:55Speaker 5: With hatred. Hey everyone, it's Carell. You know, Pride Month
- 21:58Speaker 5: was rough this year. We had a lot of hate
- 22:01Speaker 5: heaped upon us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other
- 22:04Speaker 5: governments around the world. And if you are a trans person,
- 22:08Speaker 5: you are really going through a particular type of hell
- 22:10Speaker 5: right now. That's why when I was thinking of my
- 22:13Speaker 5: next single in June, I sat down and I wrote,
- 22:16Speaker 5: you have to be proud. You have to be proud.
- 22:20Speaker 5: With anger so loud. Streaming everywhere. Keep fighting. Keep singing.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Keep dancing. We're gonna win. Are you liking? Are you subscribing?
- 22:42Speaker 5: Are you going to youtube.com forward slash reallycarell? And hitting
- 22:48Speaker 5: the like button, hitting the subscribe, right Miss Ember? Is
- 22:51Speaker 5: that what's happening? Because that's what should be happening. Now
- 22:55Speaker 5: I've only had three hours sleep. Let me tell you
- 22:58Speaker 5: what happened last night. I was in the kitchen getting
- 23:02Speaker 5: Ember's treat bowl ready for us to play ball. I
- 23:06Speaker 5: realized I had not taken my nighttime pill, my ibrisartan
- 23:09Speaker 5: blood pressure pills. So I get my little Monday through
- 23:13Speaker 5: Friday container thing, and I pop open the evening, and
- 23:16Speaker 5: I plop it on my tongue, along with the doxycycline,
- 23:19Speaker 5: because I take that for rosacea. If I didn't take it,
- 23:23Speaker 5: my nose would be right ripped. Those are the only
- 23:25Speaker 5: two drugs I take, ibuprofen and doxycycline. And I put
- 23:31Speaker 5: them on my tongue, and I thought, sure, that I
- 23:33Speaker 5: felt both of them on my tongue, and I take
- 23:37Speaker 5: my water. I did not look at the pills on
- 23:40Speaker 5: my tongue. I should have. So then I move a
- 23:43Speaker 5: towel from the counter. And when I do, I hear
- 23:48Speaker 5: something drop on the floor, and it sounds like a pill.
- 23:53Speaker 5: I immediately look down, and Amber's down there because I'm
- 23:56Speaker 5: chopping up a bone that I bake for her. Not
- 24:03Speaker 5: an animal bone, a peanut butter pumpkin, homemade bone. And
- 24:07Speaker 5: I chop it up. And so she's down there in
- 24:09Speaker 5: case something falls. And so I'm thinking a pill fell
- 24:14Speaker 5: and I can't tell if I took it or not
- 24:16Speaker 5: because I've already swallowed. And so did she get it
- 24:21Speaker 5: or did she not? 70% chance she didn't, 30% chance
- 24:27Speaker 5: she did. So we play ball and I agonize while
- 24:32Speaker 5: we're playing ball. And finally, after 20 minutes, I call
- 24:35Speaker 5: the emergency vet. And the emergency vet says, before you
- 24:39Speaker 5: bring her in, since it's a human drug, you need
- 24:42Speaker 5: to call the pet poison helpline, tell them what she
- 24:47Speaker 5: took or what you think she took, you know, and
- 24:50Speaker 5: they'll ask you a bunch of questions and then they'll
- 24:52Speaker 5: tell you whether you should bring her in to us
- 24:54Speaker 5: to have her, you know, induce vomiting or use charcoal
- 24:59Speaker 5: or what we should do. Because we don't have a
- 25:01Speaker 5: list of every human drug and how to treat the
- 25:05Speaker 5: dog that the pet poison control does. I'm like, okay.
- 25:10Speaker 5: So I call pet poison control. It's $ 90. I'm not
- 25:16Speaker 5: making that up. Before they'll tell you if your pet's
- 25:21Speaker 5: been poisoned, it's 90 bucks. Oh, but they keep the
- 25:25Speaker 5: case on file and if you have to go to
- 25:27Speaker 5: the vet, the vet can call them for the information
- 25:30Speaker 5: on what to do and all this other crap. But
- 25:32Speaker 5: I didn't care. Paid the $ 90. I said, okay, she's
- 25:37Speaker 5: a 15-pound otherwise healthy dog. She took maybe, I don't
- 25:42Speaker 5: know that she did, but if she did, she took
- 25:46Speaker 5: 75 milligrams of ibracitin, a blood pressure pill. And she said, oh,
- 25:50Speaker 5: blood pressure pills are the number one things we get
- 25:52Speaker 5: calls about. Number two is cannabis. So she asked me
- 25:57Speaker 5: some more questions and we talked. And finally she goes, okay,
- 26:00Speaker 5: I've got some really good news for you. And I said,
- 26:02Speaker 5: what's that? She said, unless she ate four and a
- 26:06Speaker 5: half of those pills, we don't even recommend inducing vomiting.
- 26:11Speaker 5: I said, what do you mean? It's double the dose
- 26:13Speaker 5: they would give to a dog. They do give these
- 26:15Speaker 5: pills to a dog. And she said, yeah, but therapeutic
- 26:18Speaker 5: dose and toxic doses are different things. So while it
- 26:23Speaker 5: is double the dose that a dog her size would get,
- 26:27Speaker 5: it's still not lethal. She said there was a wide
- 26:31Speaker 5: range of on that particular drug. So she said, monitor her.
- 26:36Speaker 5: And I said, well, we go to bed in a
- 26:37Speaker 5: half hour. She said, well, wake up every two hours
- 26:41Speaker 5: and make sure that she's not, her blood pressure hasn't plummeted,
- 26:45Speaker 5: that she can be roused easily, that she'll stand up,
- 26:50Speaker 5: you know, that sort of stuff. So we go to
- 26:52Speaker 5: bed at 1030. 1230, I wake up. She wakes up.
- 26:58Speaker 5: But she then started having stomach problems like she's had
- 27:00Speaker 5: in the past that have kept me awake. The smacking
- 27:03Speaker 5: of the jaw and gas. Did she stink? Oh, my God.
- 27:07Speaker 5: She farted so many times last night and it was
- 27:09Speaker 5: so rank. Oh, my God. The whole bedroom. I was like, oh, girl,
- 27:13Speaker 5: like something died up in there. It was terrible. But
- 27:17Speaker 5: I felt bad for her because she didn't feel well.
- 27:20Speaker 5: And I don't think it was the pill. I think
- 27:22Speaker 5: it was another gastro thing. So 1230, I wake her up.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Two o'clock I wake her up and then neither of
- 27:29Speaker 5: us can go back to sleep. She just moves around
- 27:32Speaker 5: the bed, gets up and looks off the bed, smacking
- 27:35Speaker 5: the jaw, farting. So from two o'clock until 4.45, I
- 27:41Speaker 5: was awake. Went to sleep, got up at 5.30, here
- 27:46Speaker 5: I am. It's why I'm a half hour late. Everything
- 27:49Speaker 5: is late this morning because I didn't sleep. She woke up,
- 27:54Speaker 5: she ate, she pooped, she peed, she ran in the park,
- 27:58Speaker 5: she did everything she's supposed to do. So even if
- 28:01Speaker 5: she took the pill, she's good. But I thought of
- 28:04Speaker 5: Dolly Parton during this. And you know why? If I
- 28:08Speaker 5: were Dolly, the pet poison control would not charge anybody
- 28:13Speaker 5: $ 90 at all. If you call there and your dog
- 28:18Speaker 5: or your cat or your gerbil or whatever has eaten
- 28:21Speaker 5: something and you think it's poison, you shouldn't be charged
- 28:25Speaker 5: for them to tell you if it is poison and
- 28:28Speaker 5: what to do about it. That information should be free.
- 28:33Speaker 5: So if I were Jeff Bezos, it would be. And
- 28:37Speaker 5: that's what I mean. You know what? We hate billionaires.
- 28:42Speaker 5: And one of the reasons we hate them is they
- 28:43Speaker 5: don't do anything good with their money. There's so much
- 28:47Speaker 5: good these people could do for the world. Oprah could
- 28:52Speaker 5: empty the animal shelters. She could finance and make every
- 28:57Speaker 5: animal shelter a no-kill shelter. She has billions of dollars.
- 29:02Speaker 5: So does Elon Musk. So does Jeff Bezos. So does
- 29:07Speaker 5: Warren Buffett. So does Soros. So do so many. Last
- 29:12Speaker 5: night I thought, if I had a billion dollars, no one,
- 29:16Speaker 5: no pet owner would have to pay $ 90 to find
- 29:20Speaker 5: out if their pet was poisoned. She told me to
- 29:23Speaker 5: watch Ember. If anything happened to call back, she said,
- 29:28Speaker 5: don't induce vomiting. Don't rush to the vet. She's taken
- 29:33Speaker 5: one quarter of the lethal dose. She said, you'll probably
- 29:36Speaker 5: not even notice anything because she'll be sleeping. So if
- 29:39Speaker 5: her blood pressure does go down, it won't, you know,
- 29:43Speaker 5: it's not enough to make it bottom out and kill
- 29:45Speaker 5: her or affect her kidneys or anything like that. But
- 29:49Speaker 5: what a night. No sleep. I slept from 1030 to one.
- 29:54Speaker 5: And then that was it. 130, I woke her up.
- 29:57Speaker 5: Two o'clock, she woke me up. And then she didn't
- 30:00Speaker 5: go to sleep again until 4.30, and so neither did I.
- 30:05Speaker 5: What a night. What a night. But she's here this morning,
- 30:10Speaker 5: and she's functioning. I'm here. I'm functioning. So as Dolly says,
- 30:15Speaker 5: I can feel the light of a brand new morning.
- 30:17Speaker 5: Or is it I can see the light of a
- 30:19Speaker 5: brand new morning? I think it's I can see the
- 30:21Speaker 5: light of a brand new morning. I can feel the
- 30:23Speaker 5: light of a brand new day.
- 30:25Speaker 2: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home.
- 30:48Speaker 3: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Yours.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Listen daily to.
- 30:56Speaker 3: The Corelcast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
- 31:07Speaker 3: the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving you crazy.
- 31:13Speaker 5: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
- 31:17Speaker 5: very personal to me. And the video now is very
- 31:20Speaker 5: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
- 31:22Speaker 5: cry all the time. But I cried the first time
- 31:24Speaker 5: I saw it. We all have somebody, whether it's someone
- 31:27Speaker 5: that's passed from AIDS or some other thing. We all
- 31:30Speaker 5: have people that we danced with. And that's why we dance.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Stream I Dance Because on all services. Thank you in
- 31:43Speaker 5: the chat room. Because it was agonizing. I didn't know
- 31:47Speaker 5: if I should rush her to the vet. I didn't
- 31:49Speaker 5: even know if she took the pill. You know, I
- 31:51Speaker 5: didn't know. I was like, I don't know if she
- 31:53Speaker 5: even took it. And then when the lady told me, oh,
- 31:56Speaker 5: you know, she would have to take four and a
- 31:58Speaker 5: half or 403 milligrams. before it even got worrisome, that
- 32:04Speaker 5: was supposed to put me at ease. But then she says,
- 32:08Speaker 5: but watch her because in rare cases she can get tachycardia,
- 32:12Speaker 5: heavy breathing, lethargy, she could get wobbly. And I'm like,
- 32:17Speaker 5: here you're telling me, oh, it's okay, stay home. But
- 32:20Speaker 5: you're also saying you better watch her because this, this,
- 32:23Speaker 5: or this could happen.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Oy, oy.
- 32:27Speaker 5: And I couldn't get past the $ 90. I mean, she's insured.
- 32:30Speaker 5: I could make a claim for the $ 90. But it's
- 32:33Speaker 5: like people shouldn't have to pay that. And it's the
- 32:38Speaker 5: same with people, isn't it? You know? You go to
- 32:42Speaker 5: the ER. They ask you for your credit card before
- 32:45Speaker 5: you're even taken in the back. It just.
- 32:50Speaker 5: That always will amaze me. How healthcare for us or
- 32:55Speaker 5: our pets or anything... Money comes first. That always just
- 33:01Speaker 5: amazes me, how the money comes first. Then we'll talk
- 33:05Speaker 5: about your care. I thought Ember was poisoned. I thought
- 33:09Speaker 5: every minute on the phone was a minute I'm not
- 33:11Speaker 5: rushing her to the vet to throw up. And yet
- 33:15Speaker 5: I got to take time to punch in my number,
- 33:17Speaker 5: punch in my expiration date, punch in the security code,
- 33:21Speaker 5: punch in my zip code. I was like, you're wasting time. So, yes.
- 33:30Speaker 5: And I think anyone with a dog or a cat
- 33:31Speaker 5: worries about dropping a pill. It's happened to, well, it
- 33:36Speaker 5: obviously happens so much that there's a whole poison control
- 33:39Speaker 5: center set up for people who drop pills or dogs
- 33:44Speaker 5: get into them. Yeah, she said the number one thing
- 33:46Speaker 5: was blood pressure pills. The number two was cannabis. Now
- 33:49Speaker 5: that more people use cannabis. Steve's dog ate half a
- 33:53Speaker 5: gummy one night. Tino, Valentino. He was high.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Oh.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Oh, he was high. He lived. He was fine the
- 34:00Speaker 5: next morning. But, oh, that night he got all wobbly
- 34:05Speaker 5: and got all high and all paranoid. You know, the
- 34:09Speaker 5: vet would have just put him on an IV. We checked.
- 34:11Speaker 5: We're like, well, what would the vet do? And they said, well,
- 34:14Speaker 5: for cannabis, they just put them on an IV and
- 34:16Speaker 5: watch them. And Steve's like, I'm not going to spend
- 34:20Speaker 5: $ 900 for that. So he kept him home and he
- 34:23Speaker 5: did okay. He did fine. But yeah, pets, they get
- 34:27Speaker 5: into stuff. They're like kids. They just do. For the
- 34:31Speaker 5: love of money, people will sell their precious body. Well,
- 34:39Speaker 5: Dolly's gone. Tim Curry is gone. Here we are on
- 34:45Speaker 5: a Wednesday. I don't know if I'm doing this gay
- 34:48Speaker 5: week tomorrow because I haven't heard from Scott. Keeve has
- 34:50Speaker 5: been under attack. Donald Trump is... busy trying to fight
- 34:55Speaker 5: for his ballroom. Did you hear the latest? He said
- 34:59Speaker 5: if his name can't go on the front of the
- 35:01Speaker 5: Kennedy Center, he's going to tear it down. He said that. Yesterday,
- 35:08Speaker 5: they said that the remodeling and the repairs are so
- 35:11Speaker 5: extensive that perhaps a complete demolition is called for. The
- 35:15Speaker 5: Kennedy Center. And a judge could stop them, but if
- 35:19Speaker 5: they do what they did to the East Wing and
- 35:20Speaker 5: just tear it down first and ask questions later, then, yeah,
- 35:24Speaker 5: a judge would say, no, you don't have the right
- 35:25Speaker 5: to tear it down as it sits in rubble. He
- 35:29Speaker 5: literally said, if they don't put my name back on
- 35:34Speaker 5: the front of the building, I will tear it down.
- 35:40Speaker 5: He said that yesterday. You know... This morning in the park,
- 35:46Speaker 5: it's so sad. To show you the thing, not one
- 35:49Speaker 5: person said anything bad about Dolly Parton. Not one person.
- 35:54Speaker 5: There's not been one person. Oh, MAGA's upset because some
- 35:59Speaker 5: liberal podcasters and such have said how dare MAGA and
- 36:04Speaker 5: Donald Trump say they love Dolly Parton when they didn't.
- 36:08Speaker 5: Because Dolly Parton paid for vaccines, the mRNA, and they
- 36:14Speaker 5: defunded them. Dolly Parton gave books to 200 million children
- 36:19Speaker 5: while they defunded her and school book programs. Dolly Parton
- 36:24Speaker 5: loved and supported the LGBTQ community while they make laws
- 36:30Speaker 5: against them. So a lot of liberals were like, you
- 36:35Speaker 5: didn't love Dolly Parton. You certainly didn't like what she
- 36:38Speaker 5: did with her money. I say that Dolly would be.

- 37:31Speaker 2: Showtime is here.
- 37:33Speaker 1: No time to fear. Karel is so near because Showtime
- 37:37Speaker 1: is here.
- 37:38Speaker 4: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
- 37:42Speaker 4: Karel is the one that you need to know.
- 37:47Speaker 3: All right.
- 37:47Speaker 5: Iran won't allow military vessels to transit through the Strait
- 37:51Speaker 5: of Hormuz under an agreement with the Islamic Republic that
- 37:54Speaker 5: it is negotiating with Oman. The top diplomats of the
- 37:58Speaker 5: two countries, Iran and Oman, met to discuss managing commercial
- 38:02Speaker 5: shipping traffic in the vital waterway, which remained shut down
- 38:06Speaker 5: six months after the Iran war began, and how many
- 38:11Speaker 5: days after we have declared victory. Meanwhile, Israel's strikes in
- 38:18Speaker 5: Gaza continued, testing the fragile ceasefire with Hamas, meaning Israel
- 38:24Speaker 5: is still committing genocide. That's what that means. So Iran
- 38:29Speaker 5: and Oman have reached an agreement on new framework for
- 38:32Speaker 5: managing ship traffic in the strait that would exclude military
- 38:35Speaker 5: vessels from traversing the waterway. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem,
- 38:41Speaker 5: oh my, Garibabadi, told state television late Tuesday that commercial
- 38:47Speaker 5: shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of
- 38:49Speaker 5: Oman would pass entirely through Iranian waters, while the outbound
- 38:53Speaker 5: route would pass partially through Iranian waters and partly through
- 38:57Speaker 5: Oman's territory. He said the route would be temporary and
- 39:00Speaker 5: that Iran and Oman must discuss a permanent maritime traffic
- 39:04Speaker 5: plan within 30 to 60 days.
- 39:07Speaker 3: U.S.
- 39:07Speaker 5: President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it
- 39:11Speaker 5: gets in the way of his administration's which opposes parts
- 39:16Speaker 5: of the evolving deal. So here we have Oman working
- 39:20Speaker 5: with Iran to try to reopen the Strait, and you
- 39:23Speaker 5: have Trump saying, we don't want your help, and if
- 39:24Speaker 5: you keep it up, we'll fucking bomb you. People.
- 39:31Speaker 3: The U.S.
- 39:31Speaker 5: President said during an interview on Wednesday that he thinks
- 39:34Speaker 5: Ayatollah Khomeini is seriously wounded but not dead. If he is,
- 39:41Speaker 5: they're putting on a pretty good show. Well, we think
- 39:44Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell's dead.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Um....
- 39:48Speaker 5: Mojaba Khomeini became supreme leader after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini,
- 39:54Speaker 5: was killed. The younger Khomeini was badly wounded in the
- 39:58Speaker 5: attacks and has remained out of public view. So Trump
- 40:02Speaker 5: was asked, do you think he's dead? And they said, no,
- 40:05Speaker 5: we think he's alive. Some parents said children in Gaza
- 40:11Speaker 5: are dismantling their kites. after Israel threatened to ramp up
- 40:15Speaker 5: strikes as the toys keep flying into southern Israel. They're
- 40:18Speaker 5: going to kill people in Gaza over kites. In the past,
- 40:24Speaker 5: kites and balloons have been set aflame and launched across
- 40:26Speaker 5: the Gaza border, igniting fields and property in Israeli-occupied territory. Wow. Well,
- 40:39Speaker 5: so that's not good news, is it? The street is
- 40:42Speaker 5: still closed, gas is still expensive, food is still pricey.
- 40:46Speaker 5: Isn't that something? Dolly Parton's unreleased gay anthem? She has
- 40:54Speaker 5: an unreleased gay anthem? Well, where is it? Where is it? See,
- 41:02Speaker 5: I hate stories. I hate this. The headline is her
- 41:06Speaker 5: gay anthem. They haven't mentioned it in five paragraphs. You know? Family,
- 41:13Speaker 5: there it is. Okay, is that unreleased? Technically, she did.
- 41:24Speaker 5: Back in 2014, Parton expressed her desire to put out
- 41:29Speaker 5: a dance record. Wow. She noted that she had several
- 41:35Speaker 5: songs that are very positive towards the gay community. She
- 41:38Speaker 5: had one called Just a Wee Bit Gay. which she
- 41:42Speaker 5: described as a great little dance tune. Never got released.
- 41:46Speaker 5: I bet it will now. Colorado joins 25 states in
- 41:52Speaker 5: suits against the U.S. Postal Service over mail-in ballots. They're
- 41:56Speaker 5: trying to challenge what happened in the Supreme Court. Judge
- 42:02Speaker 5: allows Trump mail-in ballots. What else is in the news?
- 42:07Speaker 5: Philly's masked man taken into custody in Las Vegas. Oh yeah,
- 42:10Speaker 5: did you see this guy? He wore this really sick
- 42:14Speaker 5: mask and attacked people. Prince Harry and Meghan have arrived
- 42:18Speaker 5: back in the UK six years after leaving royal life behind.
- 42:23Speaker 5: Good for them. I'd go to the UK too if
- 42:26Speaker 5: I could afford it. Joe Lombardo. Nah, he didn't do it.
- 42:30Speaker 5: Nevada sues in federal court to block Colorado river cuts. Yeah,
- 42:33Speaker 5: of course they are. I mean, after all, we got
- 42:37Speaker 5: to have water, right? Dollar and bond markets on edge
- 42:41Speaker 5: ahead of Jackson Hole as Bessence Market Intervention piles pressure
- 42:47Speaker 5: on Warsh. Does anyone know what that means? Hollywood Summer
- 42:52Speaker 5: Box Office is glowing, but only from three movies. The Odyssey, Spider-Man.
- 42:59Speaker 5: I don't know what the other one is. Medication mix-up
- 43:04Speaker 5: leaves knee surgery patient paralyzed. You know that I've done
- 43:08Speaker 5: so many shows about medical mistakes being the number three
- 43:11Speaker 5: cause of death in the country. So these people, they
- 43:15Speaker 5: went to have knee surgery and they got injections that
- 43:19Speaker 5: were supposed to be anesthetic and instead they were potassium
- 43:25Speaker 5: injected directly into their spine. Potassium, high dose. directly into
- 43:33Speaker 5: their spine. Their spine didn't like that. They're now paralyzed.
- 43:39Speaker 5: You go in for knee surgery, you end up paralyzed
- 43:42Speaker 5: from the breastbone down because they injected the wrong medication.
- 43:48Speaker 5: Every time I'm in the hospital and when I was
- 43:50Speaker 5: in the ICU, before they injected anything, I made them
- 43:54Speaker 5: show me the bottle. Oh, I was a pain in
- 43:57Speaker 5: the ass. I made them show me the bottle. If
- 44:00Speaker 5: they walked in with a syringe already pre-made, I said,
- 44:03Speaker 5: show me the bottle that came out of, please. And
- 44:06Speaker 5: they're like, what? I said, I want to see, physically
- 44:09Speaker 5: see with my eyes what you're about to put into
- 44:12Speaker 5: my IV, please. Well, I'd have to go get it. Well,
- 44:16Speaker 5: then go get it. I did not let the, I
- 44:19Speaker 5: did not take any pill or let them give me
- 44:22Speaker 5: any shot in the IV that I did not physically
- 44:26Speaker 5: see the bottle. You have that right. Many people don't
- 44:31Speaker 5: know this, but you have that right. And I made
- 44:35Speaker 5: sure that I checked. For this very reason. St. Thomas Midtown. Yep.
- 44:43Speaker 5: In wherever this is, Nashville. Nashville Hospital admits pharmacy error
- 44:49Speaker 5: in incident, leaving at least one paralyzed. The pharmacy mixed
- 44:53Speaker 5: up the drugs. Instead of anesthetic, they sent potassium. Oh,
- 45:00Speaker 5: can you imagine? You know, we need a national inquiry
- 45:05Speaker 5: into medical mistakes. We really do. You can't win in court.
- 45:10Speaker 5: They'll win. But if you sue, you can't win because
- 45:13Speaker 5: most juries are sympathetic to the doctors. Because they don't
- 45:16Speaker 5: want to believe that doctors could be wrong. So if
- 45:20Speaker 5: you try to sue, it's an uphill battle. And maybe
- 45:24Speaker 5: you win, maybe you don't. And they've capped how much
- 45:28Speaker 5: you can win, $ 250, 000. That's how much a dead person's worth. $ 250, 000. Yeah,
- 45:34Speaker 5: that's it. Take your whole life from you. Take your husband,
- 45:38Speaker 5: your wife, your sister, your daughter, your husband. And then
- 45:42Speaker 5: they say, oh, well, that's worth $ 250, 000 if you win.
- 45:45Speaker 5: Punitive damages they can give more, but juries often split
- 45:49Speaker 5: on those. So, yeah. Nashville hospital injecting people with potassium,
- 45:55Speaker 5: paralyzing them when it's supposed to be anesthetic. Isn't that something?
- 46:02Speaker 5: We need a national inquiry. We're not going to get it.
- 46:07Speaker 5: We need so many things. But under Donald Trump, all
- 46:11Speaker 5: we're getting is crap. You know, that's all we're getting.
- 46:17Speaker 5: Someone won $ 140, 000 on bingo here in Las Vegas. Isn't
- 46:18Speaker 5: that something? 140k on bingo. The Cheesecake Factory is closing locations. So,
- 46:31Speaker 5: there is not one healthy item on the menu at
- 46:35Speaker 5: the Cheesecake Factory. I've been. And they don't have vegan
- 46:40Speaker 5: options that are any good. But when I was not
- 46:42Speaker 5: a vegan, oh my God, their food was delicious. But
- 46:47Speaker 5: literally one meal is like 5,000 calories. Not making that up.
- 46:51Speaker 5: There's one of their meals, I think it's their chicken
- 46:53Speaker 5: alfredo or something, it's 3,900 calories. And then they have
- 46:58Speaker 5: a dessert that's 1,900 calories for just the dessert. So
- 47:02Speaker 5: if you have the alfredo and the dessert, you're at 6,000
- 47:06Speaker 5: calories or three days worth of calories. The Cheesecake Factory
- 47:11Speaker 5: should be out of business. Just go back to selling cheesecakes.
- 47:18Speaker 5: why pride is facing a backlash from inside and outside
- 47:21Speaker 5: the gay community. See, that's a myth. There is no
- 47:25Speaker 5: one in the gay community backlashing against pride. And if
- 47:29Speaker 5: they are, it's a very small group of people. I
- 47:32Speaker 5: hate how they get pressed for this. It's wrong. We
- 47:38Speaker 5: talked about this yesterday. We talked about how some gays
- 47:42Speaker 5: just want to be LGB and they don't want to
- 47:44Speaker 5: be LGBTQ. Or LGBTQIA. They just want to be LGB.
- 47:52Speaker 5: And that's their big backlash. That's what the backlash is.
- 47:58Speaker 6: Oh, Lord.
- 48:00Speaker 5: So the other thing I want to talk to you
- 48:01Speaker 5: about today is a lawsuit that has gone on. And
- 48:09Speaker 5: it was settled today. Meta Zuckerberg Instagram, Facebook, Meta, they
- 48:18Speaker 5: have decided to pay California and several other states $ 16. 7 billion. So, again,
- 48:33Speaker 5: that figure, it boggles your mind. Alexa, what is $ 16. 7
- 48:39Speaker 5: billion divided by $ 340 million? 16.7 billion divided.
- 48:46Speaker 6: By 340 million is approximately 49.1176.
- 48:51Speaker 5: So basically, $ 50 for every American. So, seems small, doesn't it?
- 49:00Speaker 5: But when there's 300 plus million Americans, that's, yeah. So, $ 16. 4
- 49:04Speaker 5: billion is how much money per day for 1,000 years?
- 49:06Speaker 3: Alexa.
- 49:12Speaker 5: If I have $ 16. 4 billion, how much money can I
- 49:14Speaker 5: spend every day for 1,000 years?
- 49:20Speaker 6: I'm not quite sure how to help you with that.
- 49:23Speaker 5: Why not? Alexa, if I have $ 16. 4 billion, how much
- 49:28Speaker 5: can I spend every day for a thousand years?
- 49:31Speaker 6: I'm not quite sure how to help you with that.
- 49:33Speaker 5: You know, Chad GPT will tell me in a moment.
- 49:36Speaker 5: That's why Alexa is useless. That's why I love ChatGPT more.
- 49:41Speaker 5: If I have $ 16. 4 billion, how much can I spend
- 49:47Speaker 5: every day for 1,000 years? So that would be, oh,
- 49:55Speaker 5: I guess I spoke too soon about ChatGPT. Let's see,
- 49:57Speaker 5: 52 cents a second, $ 31 a minute, $ 1, 800 an hour, $ 44, 000
- 50:00Speaker 5: per day, 1.37 million per month. 16.4 million per year
- 50:13Speaker 5: for a thousand years. Okay? That's how much money. 16
- 50:18Speaker 5: million dollars a year for a thousand years. That's how
- 50:22Speaker 5: much money. Wow. 16 million dollars a year for a
- 50:27Speaker 5: thousand years. That's how much money Mark Zuckerberg has agreed
- 50:33Speaker 5: to pay the states.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Why?
- 50:36Speaker 5: Because they sued saying, you made a product that is
- 50:41Speaker 5: purposely addictive to kids and to everybody. It's addictive. And
- 50:49Speaker 5: it is harmful. It is harmful and addictive. And here's
- 50:54Speaker 5: the thing. They proved it in court enough to where
- 51:00Speaker 5: Meta said, okay, we give. We'll pay. Okay. 17, almost
- 51:08Speaker 5: $ 17 billion. Meta agreed Wednesday to pay $ 17 billion and
- 51:15Speaker 5: add stronger child safety measures to Facebook and Instagram as
- 51:19Speaker 5: part of a landmark legal settlement that ended a trial
- 51:23Speaker 5: over teen social media addiction filed by 47 states. The
- 51:29Speaker 5: settlement is a pivotal case in making, sought to hold
- 51:33Speaker 5: the tech giants accountable for their role in undermining children's
- 51:37Speaker 5: mental health. I argue it's not just children. The effort
- 51:41Speaker 5: targeted features designed to hook people's attention. For years, Meta
- 51:46Speaker 5: intentionally deceived the public about the addictive and harmful design
- 51:51Speaker 5: that have wreaked havoc on our mental health. This will
- 51:56Speaker 5: put an end to these dangerous practices and deliver a
- 51:59Speaker 5: meaningful relief that will protect us from online harm. That's bullshit.
- 52:04Speaker 5: They're just going to change the algorithm. But here's my thing.
- 52:10Speaker 5: We now know that social media, including Instagram, which I
- 52:14Speaker 5: am broadcasting on right now, we know that it's bad.
- 52:20Speaker 5: It's bad for you. It's bad for our mental health.
- 52:24Speaker 5: So that begs one simple question. I will ask that
- 52:28Speaker 5: when I come back. So don't go anywhere. Except, of course,
- 52:31Speaker 5: to my Patreon, patreon.com forward slash reallycorell, where you can
- 52:35Speaker 5: become a patron for five bucks a month. It'll really help.
- 52:38Speaker 5: Or youtube.com forward slash reallycorell, where you can like and subscribe.
- 52:42Speaker 5: Or corellofficial on Instagram and feed the evil social media. Yeah.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Patreon.
- 52:57Speaker 5: Patreon is the way. Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K. Funk, honey.
- 53:06Speaker 5: Do you wanna funk?
- 53:07Speaker 2: Do you wanna funk, baby?
- 53:24Speaker 5: Hey, it's Carell.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Go stream Do You Wanna Funk?
- 53:26Speaker 5: My tribute to Sylvester. Everywhere you get your music. Carell,
- 53:30Speaker 5: Do You Wanna Funk?
- 53:32Speaker 2: Now it's showtime.
- 53:38Speaker 5: All right, we are back. I was just stretching my
- 53:39Speaker 5: back out. My question is, if you create something that
- 53:47Speaker 5: is so addictive and so harmful... that you have to
- 53:51Speaker 5: pay $ 17 billion to 47 states that sued you, why
- 53:59Speaker 5: are you allowed to still do business? This is what
- 54:03Speaker 5: amazes me about our lives. The Catholic Church, time and
- 54:09Speaker 5: time again, convicted of pedophilia. Convicted of hiding pedophilia. Convicted
- 54:18Speaker 5: of harboring pedophilia. pedophile priest and shielding them from prosecution.
- 54:24Speaker 5: Been proven. Okay? Proven. Time and time in almost every
- 54:30Speaker 5: city in the world where there's Catholics. So why is
- 54:35Speaker 5: the Catholic Church still allowed to exist in our country?
- 54:39Speaker 5: Why is it still here? We act like they have
- 54:42Speaker 5: magically stopped. They haven't. So why is the Catholic Church
- 54:48Speaker 5: still here? It's harmful. They act like a political organization.
- 54:56Speaker 5: They try to dictate public policy. Who could get married?
- 54:59Speaker 5: Who can't? Who can have an abortion? Who can't? They're
- 55:03Speaker 5: certainly a political entity. And they're the largest child rape
- 55:08Speaker 5: ring in the world. So why don't we shut them down?
- 55:14Speaker 5: Because they worship some zombie? Because they worship some murdered
- 55:18Speaker 5: guy on a piece of wood? because they're delusional and
- 55:23Speaker 5: drink his blood, they're cannibals. Not only are they pedophiles,
- 55:28Speaker 5: but they're cannibals. Have you ever been to Catholic church?
- 55:32Speaker 1: I have.
- 55:33Speaker 5: When you go up and get the Eucharist, what do
- 55:34Speaker 5: they say? Body of Christ. They put it on your tongue.
- 55:38Speaker 5: That is literally supposed to be his body. Then they
- 55:42Speaker 5: say blood of Christ and they give you a little
- 55:44Speaker 5: sip of wine. And that is literally supposed to be
- 55:48Speaker 5: his blood. The priest, it's called the transmutation. The priest
- 55:54Speaker 5: is supposed to turn it in to the body and
- 55:56Speaker 5: blood of Christ. And with this offering, he said, take
- 56:03Speaker 5: this cup, each of you, and drink from it. For
- 56:06Speaker 5: this is my blood, the blood of the new and
- 56:09Speaker 5: everlasting covenant. Do this in memory of me. That's what
- 56:14Speaker 5: they say. And then Christ said to his disciples, take
- 56:19Speaker 5: this and eat from it, for this is my body.
- 56:24Speaker 5: That's a cannibalistic ritual. And they practice it. And then
- 56:30Speaker 5: their priests go and screw the altar boys. And we
- 56:33Speaker 5: let them exist. We know Facebook and Meta are bad
- 56:40Speaker 5: for all of us. I have put time limits on
- 56:44Speaker 5: mine now. I can only be on Instagram 10 minutes
- 56:47Speaker 5: a day and then I get locked out. Parental locks.
- 56:52Speaker 5: Because I was being on there two, three hours a
- 56:54Speaker 5: day and I was feeling bad about myself. Like, why
- 56:57Speaker 5: are you doing that? Why aren't you doing something more productive?
- 57:00Speaker 5: Why are you? And then I realized because it's designed
- 57:04Speaker 5: to suck you in. It is doing things to your
- 57:08Speaker 5: brain that you're not even aware of to keep you
- 57:11Speaker 5: here in front of it. And it's effective. It works.
- 57:16Speaker 5: And now they've proven it. They've proven that Zuckerberg and
- 57:21Speaker 5: others created algorithms to keep you addicted and engaged that
- 57:29Speaker 5: harm your mental health. And now I don't have to
- 57:33Speaker 5: like not say that They have to pay a $ 17
- 57:37Speaker 5: billion settlement because they did it. So why isn't it
- 57:44Speaker 5: shut down? Why don't we ever shut down things that
- 57:49Speaker 5: harm us? I don't get that. Well, because it's social
- 57:53Speaker 5: media and we lived without it. I'm 63 years old.
- 57:57Speaker 5: We lived without social media for 45 years. We were fine.
- 58:03Speaker 5: You know, we were great. And someone would just start
- 58:06Speaker 5: a new one. Someone would start one that's like all
- 58:09Speaker 5: news agencies. So you log in, you see a scroll,
- 58:12Speaker 5: it's all news. Vetted, real news agencies. Not some Joe
- 58:16Speaker 5: Blow calling himself a news agency. Real, accredited news agencies.
- 58:23Speaker 5: And yes, independents could be accredited. Absolutely. But they would
- 58:27Speaker 5: be accredited. They would be real. And you'd be reading
- 58:30Speaker 5: real information and real news. Instagram could go back to
- 58:35Speaker 5: being what it was for photographs. That's what it was.
- 58:38Speaker 5: It was actually a check-in app. Instagram used to be
- 58:42Speaker 5: a social check-in app where you could check in. That's
- 58:45Speaker 5: what it was. That's how it started. It wasn't even
- 58:48Speaker 5: called Instagram. And Facebook could go back to just being
- 58:53Speaker 5: about you and your family connecting.
- 58:55Speaker 3: Period. Period.
- 58:57Speaker 5: No advertisements, no news feeds filled with products or news
- 59:04Speaker 5: that you don't need or fake news. All Facebook is
- 59:06Speaker 5: now is lies. I see so many untrue stories on
- 59:10Speaker 5: there all about Barbara Streisand all the time. And they're fake.
- 59:14Speaker 5: They're just fake stories. They had an AI thing where
- 59:18Speaker 5: Barbara and Celine were going on tour with Bette Midler.
- 59:21Speaker 5: The Divas Tour. It would be great. It's not happening.
- 59:26Speaker 5: It was a lie. It was fake. People were actually
- 59:28Speaker 5: thinking it was real. So social media could change into
- 59:34Speaker 5: something that's useful, but no. So $ 17 billion being paid,
- 59:42Speaker 5: but the damage is done. Kids have committed suicide over this.
- 59:46Speaker 5: Online bullying, addiction, being addicted to it to where that's
- 59:52Speaker 5: all they do all day long, all night long. Lives
- 59:55Speaker 5: have been ruined already. Then they get to pay a fine.
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: I mean, $ 17 billion to Meta, I think, is probably nothing.
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: I don't know what Meta is worth. Alexa, what is
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: the Meta company worth?
- 1:00:15Speaker 6: As of 11.25 a.m., Meta platforms traded at $ 577. 02 on
- 1:00:16Speaker 6: the NASDAQ, up 1.2% since previous close. So it's $ 577
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: a share.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: Alexa?
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: What is the Meta Company's net worth?
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: It's giving me the stock. $ 1. 4 trillion.
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: So $ 17 billion isn't even the tip on the check.
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: It's not even 15%.
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: Because $ 1.
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: 7 trillion, 10% of that is 170 billion? Is that right? Yeah.
- 1:01:08Speaker 5: So they're paying 1%.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: I am Pharrell.
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: Be who you want to be. It's on The Hungry Buddy.
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: Hopefully we'll be back tomorrow.
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: With this K-Week.
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: If not, what we'll be doing is the era of
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: the influencer over. We'll do one of the two things tomorrow.
