• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Because Showtime is here. So on with the show.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Let's give it a go.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Carell is the one that you need to know.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Now it's Showtime.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Now it's Showtime.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The stage is a world. The world is a stage
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of entertainment. Today we're talking entertainment as Trump launches his
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: own network and Paramount takes over the world. Yes, ladies.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It is The Carell Show. I am Carell. So very
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: glad you are joining me on this Tuesday, September 22nd.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, goodness, goodness.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We are talking all things entertainment today, ladies and germs.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Isn't that like an old vaudeville, you know, good evening,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ladies and germs. Although there was a lot of germs
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: back in the vaudeville, you know, those theaters were filthy, filthy.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with Instagram not working, but whatever.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care anymore. I don't care about Instagram. All right.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Good morning, Sandy. Good morning, everyone. We've got
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about today. Today's the day to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: do some talking. A lot of interesting stuff that we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: are going to be talking about today, including entertainment, because
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: as I told you yesterday, I just can't yell and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: scream all day long about the injustices of the world.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I ought to get back to my wheelhouse. And honey,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm an entertainer, which is why today's show hurts. Today's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: show hurts because I guess I'm old. You know, I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'll admit it. I'm 63. I'm, you know. And I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: view entertainment as this sacred space. Okay? I know that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: sounds odd. But I've always considered... creating television, motion pictures,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: creating music, writing books, writing columns, being a journalist. I've
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: always considered that special. Special people did it. Talented people.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: People whose points of views were interesting or who were
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just insanely talented as actors or comics or singers, violinists, painters, harps, whatever,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: whatever your talent was. I consider a theater a sacred
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and space. To me, it's church. A theater, a live
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: theater where you go see a performance to me is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like church. Okay. And so going to a movie and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: having the 80-foot wide screen just wrap around you and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for two hours being transported to a world where directors
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and actors and cinematographers and key grips and best boys
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and dollies and all of that created, that holds such
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a revered place in my brain and in my heart. Now,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I have always realized there's two sides to entertainment. There's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: artists and entertainers and writers and all of that. And
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then there's the business people. And unfortunately, somewhere along the way,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: business people started running entertainment. And that was a terrible
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: thing for entertainment. When entertainment became about dollars, cents, marketability,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and all of that, Now, social media changed everything. Some
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: would say it democratized entertainment. I say it killed it,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: just as AI is continuing to do. Because not everybody
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is an entertainer, nor should everybody be an entertainer. Take
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this clavicular guy who is now up on charges for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: statutory rape. His whole claim to fame is looks maxing.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That word has even been put into the dictionary. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what did he get all of these followers for? Trying
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to be pretty. That's how to have a better jawline.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's not entertainment. That's not even aesthetics. It's stupid. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: so this social media boon, suddenly record companies wouldn't sign
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you if you didn't have a million TikTok followers. Comedy
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: clubs wouldn't book you. Now that's changing. The recording industry
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: has realized that having 10 million followers on Instagram doesn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: make you a lasting artist. It might allow you to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: come on and have a hit, but it doesn't make
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you an artist forever. that's going to make the label
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: money for years to come. So they are now realizing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that it's the people with the smaller followings that are dedicated,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that are out there filling up clubs, filling up small arenas,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and doing their thing. Those are the people they're now
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: looking for. And the same goes with televisions. When we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: only had a certain number of options for shows, it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: was an honor to do a television show. It was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a responsibility to do a television show. You know? And now,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's not an honor, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: anyone can do it. And there's too many of them.
• 5:44

• 5:49

• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You have to be proud.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: With hatred.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone. It's Correll. Stream You Have to Be Proud
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: wherever you get your music and let it fill you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with the pride it filled me in doing it. You
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have to be strong.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So the big news is about the Paramount Warner Brothers
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Discovery merger, and we're going to talk about the implications
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But The whole show today is about entertainment. And what
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: do you watch? You know, what do you actually watch
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on streaming? Do you have streaming? What do you watch
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on it? What are your favorite shows? What do you enjoy?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been really watching this show called RPA,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Royal Prince Albert Hospital, from Sydney, as I've told you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And I love it. It's as good as The Pit,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but it's real life.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I learned things. Like yesterday, I learned something that made
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: me so sad, but so happy. Made me sad because
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Daniel Charleston would still be alive today. And let me explain.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: When Daniel Charleston's mother got the glioblastoma, my friend Daniel Charleston,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: who died of a ketamine overdose two years ago, when
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Daniel Charleston, when his mother got the glioblastoma multiforme diagnosis,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It was overwhelming for all of us. She wasn't even 60.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Glioblastoma is 50% of all brain tumors. Half of all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: brain tumors diagnosed are glioblastoma multiforme. It, up until this point,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is a death sentence within 12 months. No cure, no nothing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: They debulk the tumor, they do radiation, but that's just
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to keep you alive for 12 months. It sends out
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: tentacles into your brain. That's how they found it in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: his mother. They were doing a normal CAT scan on
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: her carotid artery and saw the tentacle down in her brain.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: At the time, they did a debulking, which was a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: brain surgery where they took out about 80% of the tumor,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but they couldn't get it all and they can't get
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the tentacles because they go too far down in the brain.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So then they did radiation. It doesn't really work. It does,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't. She died 11 months later. Well, last
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: night while watching RPA on Amazon Prime, which is bundled
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: if you have Amazon, you have Amazon Prime. While watching it,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I found out, and then I went and did further research,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that as we speak, there are phase one and phase
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: two clinical trials for using immunotherapy for glioblastoma and And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that started at RPA Hospital, Royal Prince Albert in Sydney, Australia.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Because one of their researchers, one of their cancer researchers,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: went on a vacation, got some headaches, fell down, went
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to the emergency in Italy, they did a scan, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: there it was. A giant glioblastoma multiforme. So... they had
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: been doing what was called CART therapy, where they take
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: out your blood, separate your T-cells, send your T-cells off,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: reprogram your T-cells through CRISPR to attack cancer, and then
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: put them back in your body. Well, with glioblastoma, not
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: only are they doing that, the CAR-T therapy, but there's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: now a phase one clinical trial for a cancer virus
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that only grows in glioblastoma tissue. And it kills the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: tissue and then replicates and finds other glioblastoma tissues. So
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: within three years, there is a very real chance that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: people with glioblastoma will go from dying within 12 months
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to having years or even going into remission between debulking, chemotherapy,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and immunotherapy. I learned that from a TV show, from entertainment,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and then I went out and researched it, okay? Now,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Legacy networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, none of which are covering
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the president, which is great. He lashed out this morning.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He's at the UN. The UN invited CNN to cover.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: When he was being questioned, they questioned him. And he said,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be here. Because somehow he thinks that because
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he has banned CNN from the White House, that every
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: other place is going to ban CNN. And every place
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that he's at is going to ban them. He's a petulant,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: ignorant child. But the legacy networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, still
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: is viewed more than streaming. In the February 2026 Nielsen,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: broadcast television was 47.4% of viewership. Streaming was 41.9%. What's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the other 11% you ask? YouTube. YouTube is a network.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Let's just be clear about that. But ad-supported TV overall
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: is declining. That means legacy networks. They are declining every
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: year about 1% to 2%. And that's because older people
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: are dying and younger people are not watching it. In
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: terms of movies, 769.2, so 769,200,000 tickets were sold in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the U.S. and Canada in 2025. which is about two
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: per person, roughly half the 2002 peak of 1.57 billion. Now,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of U.S. adults, 53 to 77% of U.S. adults saw
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: at least one movie in a theater in the past year,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: but only 17% are frequent moviegoers, down from 39% just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: two years ago. Where are you in that? Are you
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a frequent moviegoer? Do you go maybe once or twice
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a year? I'd love to hear your comments down below.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Are you one of the 53% to 77%? And the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: reason there's a big difference there depends on what survey
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you read, that saw the least one movie in the theater. Now,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: 88% to 91% of U.S. households have at least one
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: streaming service. The accepted statistic is 91%. 91% of U.S.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: households have at least one streaming service. Are you one
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of them? Do you have Amazon Prime or Netflix or
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Hulu or HBO Max? What's your favorite? Put that down below, please. Now,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: as for the most popular, Netflix leads in engagement and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: minutes watched. However, Disney Plus has been closing the subscriber
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: count gap. Amazon Prime leads in raw reach because it's
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: bundled with Amazon. That doesn't mean more people are watching
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. It just means statistically it reaches more people
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because of the people that are subscribed to Amazon. Now,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: what are you watching? The most streamed shows this year.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Stranger Things, 23 billion minutes streamed. Number two, Bluey on
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Disney +. Number three, The Pit. That's incredible. It's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: great show. Number four, Grey's Anatomy. Still. That's on Hulu.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Number five, The Big Bang Theory on HBO Max, which
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: is over. It has no new episodes. It's over. The
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: weekly top 10 also included Little House on the Prairie,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: The Reboot, SpongeBob, and House of the Dragon. Are you
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: watching any of that? I'd love to hear your comments
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in the chat room or love to read them down below. Now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: which are the biggest ones by revenue? Netflix last year
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: brought in $ 51 billion. And you see why entertainment is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: still such a thing.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: $ 51 billion.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Billion dollars. Disney Plus, $ 20 billion. HBO Max has a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: subscriber base of $ 50 million. And Amazon Prime Video does
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: not break out their revenue separately for their Amazon Prime Video.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So we don't know. Again, we know they're in more houses.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: We don't know how much they make. As for movies,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: what are you Spider-Man, Brand New Day, The Odyssey, Runner, Coyote, Runner,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: by the way, is an Alan Richson film, Coyote vs. Acme,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: which almost wasn't released and was shelved because of a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: studio fight, Buddy, a horror movie set inside a kid's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: TV program, which would be a horror, Insidious Out of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the Further, Hope, which is the Korean monster film, The Uprising,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and By Any Means.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Okay? So that's what people are watching at the box office.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So as you can see, it's hundreds of billions of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: dollars in revenue that we're talking about. So entertainment, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: this doesn't include music, by the way, entertainment is still
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a huge, huge business. Books, unfortunately, not so much. They
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: are failing year over year. No one's reading. And that's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: really sad. And can be evidenced by how illiterate we
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: all are. Now, we mentioned streaming. What is going to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: happen when Paramount merges with Warner? How much of what
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you see is one man, Larry and David Ellison, they're
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the same man. I mean, there's the father and the son.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It's like Darth Vader sort of thing. What are they
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: going to control? Well, what do they control now? Already
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Paramount controls Paramount Plus, CBS, CBS News, CBS News 24-7,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ, CBS Sports Galazo Network, MTV, MTV2,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: MTV Classic, MTV Live, TR3S, Nickelodeon, Nick at Night, Nick Jr.,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Nick Tunes, Teen Nick, Nick Music, Comedy Central, Country Music Television,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: country music, television music, TV Land, Logo, the gay network,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Paramount Network, Pop TV, the Smithsonian Channel, which, you know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are the Ellisons going to respect that? Showtime, Showtime 2,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the movie channel, Flix, BET, VH1, BET Gospel, BET Herb,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: BET Jams, and BET Soul. That's what Ellison owns already
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: through Skydance. which so many of those do not align
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: with their ideology. When they take over Warner Brothers, what
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: are they going to add to that? So on top
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of what they already own, they're going to own CNN, HBO,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: HBO Max, TNT, TBS, True TV, Discovery, HGTV, The Food Network, TLC,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Animal Planet, Investigation Discovery, Oprah-owned OWN, Magnolia Network, the, you know, what's-her-name's,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim. All of that controlled by
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: one man. Do you think that's right? They tried to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: stop this. State's attorneys general tried to stop it. No
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: one can stop it. Trump won't stop it. They're his friend.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And he wants his friend to own CNN. And they're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: going to own all of that. The Writers Guild is
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: against it. SAG-AFTRA is against it. Every creative force in Hollywood...
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: 300 of the most biggest directors in the world came
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: out against it. Showrunners, the people who run these shows.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: A showrunner is like me. I'm a showrunner. It's the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: person who gets the production together, hires the people, all
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of that. That comes up with the idea, usually. So
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: everyone's against one company owning all of that media. How
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: do you feel about it?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: It?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Do you even care? Do you care who's going to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: own the streaming services that you watch? Do you think
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that's too much control? So I will tell you the good,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly about ownership of paramount and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: warner you know why it's good why it's bad uh
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: what could be deemed i don't want to apocalyptic kind
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of um let's see uh let's check the chat room
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and see if you've answered any of my questions all
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: right well there's so much going on in here Yes,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: there are early results of short survival extensions. It is promising,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: similar to melanoma treatment. Yes, that's from James Schnabel, who
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: was a former pathologist. It really is exciting because glioblastoma
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is the most overlooked cancer in terms of treatment options.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And now there are some coming. Yes, they're doing immunotherapy
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: for prostate cancer. Is Ellison buying a bargain basement asset?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Who will watch? I don't know. YouTube is 11%, so
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they're bleeding subscribers. I haven't been to the theater since
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Spider-Man No Way Home. Oh, I just saw the new
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Spider-Man Captain. I thought it was so good. Sandy, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: go to the movies once or twice a year. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: don't have any streaming services at home. I'm perfectly happy
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: with regular cable TV. Yes, it was. It helped kill
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the entertainment industry. It certainly did. Let's see here. You
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: have to be proud with hatred. Hey everyone, it's Karel.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: You know, Pride Month was rough this year. We had
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of hate heaped upon us from Trump, from MAGA,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and from other governments around the world. And if you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are a trans person, you are really going through a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: particular type of hell right now. That's why when I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was thinking of my next single in June, I sat
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: down and I wrote, you have to be proud. You
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: have to be proud with anger so loud. Streaming everywhere.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing. We're going to win.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: All right. We are back in higher def today. Can
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you tell? The new camera will do 60 frames a second.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Very exciting. Double the data. Okay. TV is not what
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: it used to be. How many are making money? Too
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: much dumbing down. I only watch sports and local news,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: but my husband watches movies and series on almost all
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the streaming channels. Of course, there's Pluto, Tubi. Those are free.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You can get a streaming box and get all those
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Roku channels. There's a lot of things to watch. First
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: of all, that's a bad thing. I know you all
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: think that's a good thing. It gives you more choice.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: It's a bad thing because humans don't do well with choice.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And it gets very difficult for shows to find an
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: audience because audiences don't know the shows are there. For instance,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: that very charming movie I watched the other day called Love, Sarah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I would have never known about it if I hadn't
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: seen a post on social media from someone going, hey,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I saw this really cute movie about a bakery and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I haven't seen that. What's it on?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And I found out it was on Amazon Prime and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I went and had to type in search and I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: found it. But it's not easy to find because there's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so many. There's so many. There's over a million shows
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: now streaming. One million. If you add up all the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: shows streaming on all the different streamers, there's now over
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: one million shows streaming. Now, how do you choose from those?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we don't do well with choice. Now, I'm
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: not going to sit here and rag and say I
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: don't love TV. I love TV. I absolutely have always
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: loved it. I am a child of the 60s and 70s.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: TV was my friend, my babysitter. It was the thing
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: we talked about. You went to school and talked about
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: TV shows. The whole nation got involved in television shows.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Who shot JR? Luke and Laura. On and on. I
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: could give you countless, countless TV shows that we all
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: talked about. Or TV events. Walter Cronkite taking off his
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: glasses and crying. That changed the Vietnam War. It changed
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the trajectory of the war. Television is powerful. 9-11, we
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: were all riveted 24-7. You know, we just watched it constantly.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And so television is a huge part of my life. Now,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I know there are some people who say, I don't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: watch it, I don't have it, and I'm all the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: better for it. Yeah, you probably are. But you choose
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a different form of entertainment. You probably read a ton
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of books. I don't think it has to be either or. Now,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of course, people have the rectangle of doom in front
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of their face while they watch the TV, which is
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: just annoying to me. But there are still some very
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: well-made shows. I'm really enjoying Lanterns. on HBO Max. It's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a great show. I just binge-watched all of Neely, N-E-A-G-L-E-Y,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime. It's from the Reacher universe, and I've
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: seen all the Reacher seasons. Now they're doing a season five.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They can't do the book they want to do because
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Trump's in office, Alan Richardson said. Richardson, Alan Richardson, or Rickson,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: something like that. The big, gorgeous guy. So there's a
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: lot of great television, but we all don't watch it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: For instance, most of you hear me mention Reacher and Neely,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and you haven't watched it. It's on Amazon Prime, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: most of you haven't watched it. You know, everyone's talking
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: about the Lizzie Borden story now, Monster, on Netflix. I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: am not going to watch it because I did a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: show a few weeks back with an expert who said
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's all bullshit, and it's all bullshit. She didn't have
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a lesbian lover. It's all crap, all of it. And
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Ryan Murphy, I like him, I like some of his shows,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: but he's not the one to be telling historical stories
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: because he just strays way too far from the facts.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, a little poetic license, okay, but he goes
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: way far. Are you all watching Monster? I'm not watching it,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: but are you watching it? A lot of people are.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's like number one. But even then, even
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: when a show goes number one on a service like Netflix,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Not everyone's watching it. There's a few exceptions. The Pit
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: on HBO Max. Millions of people are watching it. I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: watch it. It's one of the best TV shows ever made.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to bring it to another service
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: like Netflix or something is going to license it from
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Paramount or from HBO Max, which will be Paramount. It's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: so good. Noah Wiley is so good in it. It's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: just such a good show. Sean Haddisey, who's so sexy.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's great. A lot of you listening to me may
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: not have seen The Pit. And that's why I mention,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you know, are award shows relevant these days? Because they
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: award shows that are brilliant. The Diplomat, brilliant. Alice and Jenny.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: All of you would love The Diplomat on Netflix. All
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of you would love it. It's so West Wing. And
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it's so West Wing that Alice and Jenny and what's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: his name? Oh, from the West Wing. Toby. What's his name?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He's on it too. Okay? It's a great show. Great show.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The Diplomat. And so these shows win awards. Stranger Things.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: The Diplomat. The Pit Awards. And many people haven't even
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: seen them because they're not... We all don't... See, back
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in the day, the legacy networks, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 52, 28,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: sounds like a football game. When we had those, most
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of us watched one of the networks and saw the shows.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Now there's so many different streaming services and YouTube that...
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: it fragments the audience out. So you can have a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: really great show on HBO Max like The Pit, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get seen by everybody. For instance, I love
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: The Vampire Chronicles. The very first season was great. The
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: second season, The Vampire Lestat, excellent. And they're doing a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: third season. It's wonderful. They also did The Talamasca. That
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: only lasted one season. And they did Mayfair Witches. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: don't know if that one's coming back. But it's from
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the Anne Rice universe. They're converting all of her books
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: into television. But it's on AMC +, which... and now Netflix.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But a majority of you don't subscribe to AMC +.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And I've always said, if a cable company came along
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that packaged all the biggest streaming services in one place
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: for like $ 75 a month, they'd be a big hit.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So entertainment is generating billions, but it's never been more fragmented.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: And now you're going to have one person controlling almost
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: one-third of everything everybody watches. Is that good? Is that bad?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yours. Listen daily to.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: The Corelcast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving you crazy. It's
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Yours.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: you crazy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: very personal to me, and the video now is very
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: cry all the time, but I cried the first time
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I saw it. We all have somebody, whether it's someone
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that's passed from AIDS or some other thing, we all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: have people that we danced with, and that's why we dance.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Stream I Dance Because on all services. All right, we
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: are back. So, Larry Ellison is now, or David Ellison,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: is in control about one-third of what you watch. Is
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? Ellison
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: frames it as scale to compete, is what he calls it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: A combined Paramount-Warner Brothers becomes a real third pillar against
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Disney and Netflix, the two other biggest services. More capital
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to invest in original content. a deeper film TV library
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to license and leverage in carriage and ad sales negotiations.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Paramount has already used post-Skydance Capital to lock in Trey
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Parker and Matt Stone, South Park, the UFC, and the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things. The argument is a bigger balance
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: sheet means more of that. For labor, Paramount's messaging insist
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it means more projection jobs and opportunity in not less. However,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: history says otherwise. When Disney acquired Fox in 2019, combined
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: annual film output dropped from 13 to 23 films a
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: year to a post-merger high of just 16. Fewer competing
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: buyers for scripts and talent historically mean suppressed wages. And
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what the WGA argued in its unsuccessful
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against the merger. Fewer competitors means the incentive and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: ability to lower costs by suppressing riders' wages and reducing output.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: If you don't want to be paid what we're paying,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: go work somewhere else. Oh wait, there isn't anywhere else.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: There's also a darker threat. A paramount shareholder lawsuit alleges
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: David and Larry Ellison struck a deal with Trump to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: secure approval in exchange for settling Trump's CNN lawsuit and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: promising to fire anchors he dislikes, which, if true, is
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the entertainment-meets-politics writing itself. HBO Max is the crown jewel
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: of Warner Brothers. Paramount has every financial incentive to protect
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and expand HBO and not gut it. expect it to survive,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and likely get folded more tightly into a combined streaming platform.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: CNN is the wild card, specifically because of Trump, it says.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: If those shareholder lawsuit allegations hold up, CNN's independence and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: on-air talent are what's actually at risk. It probably survives
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: as a brand. The question is, what kind of journalism
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: will it produce, and will it just become Fox News?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: So we know how it's going to go. It's not
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: going to be good. It's not going to be good
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: for the industry. It's not going to be good for
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you and I. It's going to limit what we see,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and it's going to inflict the Ellison's point of view
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on 25 networks, which is not a good thing. Meanwhile,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you and I bought a network last night. Did you know?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Did you know that you're now a shareholder? You are
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: a one in 340 millionth.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: You own.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: 1 340 millionth of a network. Did you know that? Now,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you won't make a dime from it, but you own
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: 1 340 millionth of a network. What are you talking about, Carell? Well,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: last night, Donald Trump launched Trump TV. State-run, right out
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: of the Hitler playbook, state-run media. It already has 3.8
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: million subscribers. Not that many. I know dog videos that
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: get a lot more. And as we speak right now,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: it's being watched by 1,700 people. That's it. That's what's
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: watching right now, 1,700 people. It will be nothing but pro-Trump,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: pro-MAGA propaganda. And you own it. It is state-run television.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: you own one 340th of a share of state-run TV
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: because your tax dollars are going to pay for it.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? At a time where
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: gas is soaring, where grocery is soaring, where we have
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: a $ 40 trillion debt, Donald Trump is spending your money
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to produce programming for Trump TV, state-run media. I'd be
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: very interested in your comments down below about how you
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: feel about that. How do you feel about state-run media?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I would love to hear. I really would. I'm against it.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I do not support it. I think, you know, NPR
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: is basically what should be, you know, our national network.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: You're missing out. Get the podcast videos and the blog,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: including recipes at williekarell.com. That's really K-A-R-E-L dot com.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: You have to be proud with hatred. Hey everyone, it's Carell,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and I want to invite you to stream my new single,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: You Have to Be Proud, on Swishcraft Music. You Have
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to Be Proud, by Carell. Go stream it, go march
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to it, go wave your rainbow flags and piss off
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: MAGA to it. Do whatever you need to do to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: remind yourself and others, we are stronger than ever, and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: they can't have our pride. You have to be strong.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: So I would love to hear your comments down below.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: What are you watching? How many streaming services do you have?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the Paramount merger? I think
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: it's such a bad idea. And I do hope when
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Democrats come in, they break it up. This morning, I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: said if I were president, I would make sure that
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: no corporation owned more than three networks, period. End of story.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: And if they currently did, I'd make them divest them,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: make them sell them. Absolutely. I would make triple sure
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: that no corporation owned more than three networks. And that
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: no company could own more than three FM radio stations
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and two AM stations, as it used to be. They
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: just removed that rule. While we were all talking about
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Paramount in radio, they made an even worse piece of legislation.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Corporations can now own as many radio stations as they want.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: They used to be limited to three FMs and two
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: AMs in any market. And that prevented... one voice being
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: heard in the whole market. Now, Fox could buy up
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: every talk station in every market, everywhere, and it's legal.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: So radio is doomed because now there's going to be
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: even less, you know, even as it is now, to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: get your record on radio is way too hard because
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: there's only like five people programming all of radio because
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: there's only five companies, iHeart, Nextar, And, you know, a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: few others. And that's it. Clear Channel, Cumulus, or I'm sorry, Citadel.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Cumulus became Citadel. So there's only like five companies that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: run all of radio. Subsequently, everyone's turning to podcast. But
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: now podcasting, they're going to networks like Netflix. You can
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: watch podcasts on Netflix now. I wish you could watch me.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: And also people like Don Lemon are starting their own networks.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: And Stephanie Miller has started her own network, neither of
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: which I'm on, but should be. And So we're not
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: getting as many voices. I know we think we are,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: but we're not. There's the illusion of choice in entertainment,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: but there's really less and less and less choice. And
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the corporations determine what you hear. For instance, this morning
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I saw a publication say that plant-based milk is on
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the decline and the rise of dairy is back. That's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a lie. It's in business week, and it's a lie.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I did the research with Claude. It's a lie, okay?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Plant-based milk is actually going up, up, up every year,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and it's currently projected to be $ 3 billion in sales
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: this year. That ain't nothing. 37% of all milk will
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: now be plant-based milk sold this year. That's over one-third
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: of the market. That's not decreasing and declining. This morning,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: an article came out. And you're not going to hear
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: about it. And why? Why aren't you going to hear
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: about this article? Because of corporate media. And what is
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the article that corporate media doesn't want you to hear? Well,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: let me tell you. Cambridge University got together a group
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: of scientists to come up with the 20 best sources
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: of protein. And they didn't just weigh in the protein
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: content of the item itself. They weighed in, how does
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: this item affect the planet? How does it affect climate change?
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Is it sustainable? Has it been known to be a carcinogen?
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Does it cause cancer? All of that. So they ranked
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the best and worst proteins for you to eat. Number one.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Number one. By far. And if you want to guess
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: what it is, Anybody? Number one? Anyone in the chat
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: room want to guess what the number one protein in
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the world should be based on science from Cambridge today? Anybody?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Anybody in the chat room? No, it's not turkey. Captain Planet,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: if you're not a vegan, you're not very, very healthy.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I have the science. I'm talking about the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: science right now that says you're not very, very healthy
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: if you're not a vegan because you are eating poisonous food. Okay,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: you just are. Our food supply has way too many chemicals.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: The animals are tortured. And you're tearing apart the environment.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: You're not healthy if your diet is destroying the planet.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: That's not healthy. That is not a healthy lifestyle. So
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the top three proteins, according, and America's on this really
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: weird protein kick right now. They're like, gotta be high protein,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: gotta be, that's stupid. You only need 70 to 100
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: milligrams or grams a day. But the number one protein,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: according to Cambridge scientists, of which the panel was comprised
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: of 10 leading scientists, okay, from the University of Cambridge
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: and the director of the Better Protein Institute. The number
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: one protein, tofu. Tofu. The absolute number one protein, tofu.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Number two, which I eat every day. Number two, chia seeds.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: You heard me. Do you eat them? I eat them
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: every day. Chia seeds. Number three, Beans, and that includes pulses. No,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, beans, number three, beans. Number four, quinoa, quinoa.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Number five, sunflower seeds. Number six, lentils and other pulses.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: So number one, tofu. Number two, chia seeds. Number three, beans.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Number four, quinoa. Number five, sunflower seeds. Number six, lentils.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Chicken breast, the first meat on the list, come in
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: at number seven. Then tuna, then peanuts, then chickpeas, walnuts,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Brazil nuts, salmon, eggs, and the five worst protein sources
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: for you. The five worst are pork chops, cod, Beefsteak,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: lamb chops, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Those are the five
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: worst protein sources for you. Pork chops, cod, cod because
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of how it's fished. Beefsteak, lamb chops, mozzarella cheese, and
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: cheddar cheese. Of the top 15 proteins, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: 10 of the top 15 proteins that you should be
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: eating are plant-based. 10. This is not a vegan with
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: an agenda. This is a group of scientists who studied
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: whether or not the protein is bioavailable, whether or not
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the protein is good for you, whether or not the
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: protein is good for the planet. And 10 of the
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: 15 proteins came out plant-based. Cheddar cheese is the lowest. Mozzarella, lamb,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: all of those at the bottom. There were many factors.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: The most pronounced was that plant-based sources tend to result
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: in significantly lower emissions for the planet. Tofu was judged
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: the best, followed by chia, quinoa, and sunflower because of
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: their nutritional value, sustainability, and effect quality. on the planet.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Isn't that something? Isn't that something? Now, this is an
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: important story. This is a story that should be leading
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: every single news outlet. The top 20 proteins. And by
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the way, other scientists have weighed in today and said, yes,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: we agree with the list. So this is science backed.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: This is not someone with an agenda. This is not
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: someone pushing a lifestyle. This is science. So the question is,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: are you MAGA? Are you going to deny science? Because
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: 10 of the top 15 proteins are plant-based. This isn't
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: in the news, and it's not being covered by the
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: networks that are corporate-owned because of the money the meat
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and dairy industry pump into those networks. I mean, let's
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: be real. You don't see any tofu ads on TV,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: do you? You don't see any chia ads. You don't
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: see ads for nuts on television. And nuts are some
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of the best protein out there. And they're not really nuts,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: by the way. I hate that we call things that
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: aren't nuts, nuts. A cashew is not a nut. A
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: peanut is not a nut. A peanut's a legume, FYI.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: A cashew is a seed. Nuts have to have an
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: unbroken shell, no seam in the shell. A chestnut's a nut.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: A hazelnut's a nut. A, what are the big, Brazil
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: nuts are nuts. My mom had a terrible name for
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Brazil nuts that I can't say on air. And I
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: used to hate it when she called them that. But
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: they're not nuts. A Brazil nut is a nut. But
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: a walnut, not a nut. Almond, not a nut. You know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: they're called culinary nuts. Because somehow, modern day people can't
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: stand the fact that those are called drupes. D-R-U-P-E-S. They're drupes.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: They're not nuts. But we call them nuts. That's the
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: way that it is. So the best protein in the world,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: 10 of the best protein choices, are not meat and dairy.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, dairy was listed the worst, mozzarella and
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: cheddar cheese. And whole milk, which business week this morning. Now,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: do you suppose it's any coincidence that this morning Scientific
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: American BBC News, the Smithsonian Network, and others are publishing
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: the story about the best proteins. And at the very
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: same time, Businessweek comes out with a story that plant-based
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: milk is slipping at the grocery store and people are
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: turning back to dairy. Do you think that there's any
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: correlation between these two stories at all? I do. And
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: this is the problem with the media consolidation. Stories that
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: should be covered. Stories that could actually help your life.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: That are good news. You don't hear them because business
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't want you to. Business is the worst thing to
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: have happened to entertainment. It's the worst thing in the
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: world to happen to entertainment. So there we have that.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Can we just talk about Brad Pitt for a minute,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, while we're talking entertainment? I just found
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: out he was born the year after me, so he'll
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: be 63 this year in December. I'll be 64 in November.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: He'll be 63 in November. It is not fucking fair.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Brad Pitt's new trailer for this new movie?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Not just the one with Odin the dog, but the
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino character that was created in Once Upon a
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Time in Hollywood? That stuntman, he's getting his own movie.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Have you seen him in the trailer? I don't care
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: if that man's the biggest drunk on the planet and
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: would beat me nightly. That man could hang his hat
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: wherever I was at. And he's 63 years old. That
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: is not right. His neck is perfectly tight. Just perfectly.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Just perfect neck. Absolutely perfect. No sagging. No, not just
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: a perfect neck. His eyes. And you're like, well, he's
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: had surgery. It doesn't look like it. If he's had surgery,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: he's had good surgery because he doesn't look like he's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: had surgery. He looks like an older Brad Pitt. Robert
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Redford was also, that wasn't fair. Robert Redford lived into
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: his 80s. I still would have had sex with him
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: in his 80s. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: was so handsome right up to the day he died.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: He was so handsome. Not fair. Just not fair. Perhaps
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: it's not Brad Pitt anymore. Maybe it's AI. Maybe it's
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: AI Brad Pitt. I don't know. Oh, my God. I mean,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: the neck. The neck will tell you how old someone
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: is unless they have surgery. Okay? The neck. The hands
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: really will because they can't do surgery on the hands.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: The skin is too thin. There's no place to hide
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: the scars. Madonna wears and Cher, they both wear things
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: over their hands all the time. Those little glove things
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: where the fingers stick out but covers. Because the hands
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: will betray your ass every single time. Every time. Every
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: single time. All right. So what are you watching? What
• 52:02

  Speaker 1: All right, I'm looking for a photo of Brad Pitt. Oh,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: here's one. Look at that. How can I show you
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: this photo? I will. I will show you this photo
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: because you got to see it, child. I mean, you
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: got to see it, huh? Here, let's make it full
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: screen so you get a full picture of it. Oh,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: there we go. Okay. And there. Look at that. Can
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: you see it? Should I make it bigger? Don't be
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: asking me about that. Can you see that?
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: There.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Look at that. That's a 63-year-old man. That is not right.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Where else? Here. Oh, here we go. They're talking about
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: he had a facelift. I don't, but look at it.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Don't you hate when you go to a website and
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: 50 things pop up? Okay, there's no pictures of him here.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Where is it? There it is. Look at that. Look
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: at him on the, look at him. Dear God in heaven,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: how could Angelina Jolie leave this? Someone said the other day, well,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I kind of think it was her. I
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: think she's, and I said, do not vilify Angelina Jolie.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Here he is on the cover of Esquire. Look at this.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Look at that. There he is. That's 63 years old.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Look at his neck. Oh, his neck. Look, just, oh,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: just hurts my feelings. Look at him. This is not right.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: That guy next to him in that photo is probably 63. Oh, look. Oh,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: he doesn't smoke. Does he really in real life? I
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: hope he doesn't smoke in real life. He can't. Look
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: at that skin. There's no way he smokes in real life. Oh, God.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Trying to get you back to my camera. There we go. Lord,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: have mercy on my soul. Yeah, Angelina Jolie had sex
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: with Billy Bob Thornton. I'm not sure I'd take her
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: opinion of things. I mean, I'm not trying to be
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: disparaging to Angelina Jolie, but I wouldn't have sex with
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob Thornton, and I haven't had sex in a
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: long time. But if he knocked on the door right
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: now and said, yeah, let's do it, I'd be like, no,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: let's not. I'm fine. Let's move on. Nothing to see here.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I hope you enjoyed our conversation today
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: about entertainment to sort of put it in perspective for you,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: why you're hearing about the Paramount merger, because they're going
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: to own one third of the entertainment industry. The fact
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: that you are now one 340th owner of of state-run media,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Trump TV. Please don't go subscribe to it on YouTube.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Don't give it any play. Don't go watch it. It'll
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: just make you sick. It'll just make you nauseous. I
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Brad Pitt. Is he
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: drinking fetal stem cells? I don't know. But whatever it is,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: he should be able to keep doing it. Whatever sacrifices
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: we must make for Brad Pitt. Trump is addressing the
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: United Nations General Assembly right now. He's supposed to talk
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: about Iran. He probably won't. So, yeah, that's just whatever.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: And for those of you wanting to come to Vegas,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: now is the time. There's a five-day sale going on
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: starting today. It goes through the 29th. There's $ 50 tickets
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: to shows at Caesar's Palace and other venues. There's hotel
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: rooms for $ 50, $ 60, $ 70. There's all-inclusive packages for $ 250.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: They did this a few years ago to try to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: get revenue into the city, and it worked so well.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: And there's a website for the Las Vegas five-day sale
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: that the Convention and Visitors Bureau set up. Just type
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas five-day sale. Now is the time to
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: book some travel here. I'm telling you, it's dirt cheap.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: $ 50 shows. You can come and see Josh Groban next week,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the first week of October, for 50 bucks. He has
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: a residency here. 50 bucks. Tim McGraw, 50 bucks. So
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Diana Ross, not 50 bucks. But, you know, so there's
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: a five-day sale going on for Las Vegas, and if
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I were you. Matthew McConaughey exposed himself to Jimmy Kimmel
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: in the Emmys bathroom. I had, true story, I had
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon and Mark Wahlberg expose themselves to me at
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: the Golden Globes. We were all three at the urinal,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't believe it that Mark Wahlberg was peeing
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: to my left, and Kevin Bacon was peeing to my right.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: And I stepped back and I laughed and they said,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: what's so funny? And I said, well, I'm a gay
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: man and this was a wonderful experience. And they said,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: did you get a good look? And they both turned
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: at the same time as if choreographed and showed me
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: their junk. I liked Kevin's better, by the way. Why
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: would Matthew McConaughey expose himself to Jimmy Kimmel at the
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Emmy's bathroom and Woody Harrelson saw the whole thing. This
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: is sounding kind of sexual and weird. Yeah, no. I
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: wish I'd have been there. I'm telling you that right now.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I was looking at news headlines to give you some
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: of the headlines before we go. That was in it.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Trump TV get off to a rocky start with tiny
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: viewership and vicious mockery. That's from The Independent. The New
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: York Times. Trump is back on TV briefly as many
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: networks carry his UN speech live. However, he chastises CNN.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: CNN.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Um, news outlet sued Trump over the lost White House access,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: citing blatant violation of First Amendment. We'll see if they win. Uh,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: California vowed to stop Paramount Warner Brothers merger. It didn't. Yeah,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: that's really sad. Man shot by ICE officer in Texas
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: is back in the hospital, attorney says. That's just horrifying. Um,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: what else is going on? Uh, How Netflix's new monster
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: hit goes off the rail. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. Lionel
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Richie hospitalized again amid ongoing heart issues. Three shows canceled. Yeah,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you don't mess with heart issues. Uh-uh, no. Poor Lionel.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Trump definitely backed into a corner at the UN. Okay.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Taking vitamin D. Yeah, so. What else is going on?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: We know that Hayden Pantieri died of fentanyl. That's sad.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: What else? Jessica Lange reveals one condition. She gave Ryan
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Murphy for returning. Who cares? Oh, one dead in shooting
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: near Las Vegas Strip. Maybe you shouldn't buy the five-day
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: sale here in Las Vegas. Just kidding. Yeah, we had
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: rain yesterday here. It was something. How can I kick
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: my dog out of bed without hurting our bond? Don't.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be back tomorrow and Thursday. We'll do this gay week.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I am Carell. Be who you want to be. Thank
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: you all for joining me. Oh, that prescription fees to
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: be capped in the UK under new rules. Wow. Good
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: for them. Why you say.
• 1:01:20
