- 1:24Speaker 2: near because.

- 1:30Speaker 3: Corral is the one that you need to know.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Now it's Showtime.
- 1:38Speaker 8: Now it's Showtime.
- 1:50Speaker 5: A show so nice we'll do it twice. Let's start again. Yes,
- 1:53Speaker 5: we can. Let's start again. We can do it. We
- 1:56Speaker 5: can do it. Here we go again, kids. This time
- 1:59Speaker 5: we'll get it right. I promise. Well, well. All right.
- 2:10Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on with my other, with
- 2:13Speaker 5: my show in segments thing and the new commercials and
- 2:16Speaker 5: all that. I don't have time to deal with it,
- 2:18Speaker 5: so screw it. Today, I don't want to be so
- 2:22Speaker 5: much of a show, like a show. I want it
- 2:26Speaker 5: to be a conversation because I'm at a very interesting
- 2:33Speaker 5: place and I want to share that with you, you,
- 2:37Speaker 5: my loyal and true listeners and supporters at Patreon. And
- 2:43Speaker 5: I want to tell you what got me to this spot.
- 2:44Speaker 5: But first, yes, Mitch McConnell is almost back. I say
- 2:50Speaker 5: almost because what's happening to him is elder abuse, and
- 2:55Speaker 5: you can quote me on that. That man was out
- 3:01Speaker 5: of it yesterday, and he voted. He voted on policies
- 3:06Speaker 5: that are going to directly affect our country. That man
- 3:09Speaker 5: was so hopped up on drugs yesterday and so out
- 3:14Speaker 5: of it that making him go to the Senate could
- 3:17Speaker 5: be deemed elder abuse. And I mean it. I mean,
- 3:20Speaker 5: he's 84. The guy was... It's crazy. It's crazy that
- 3:27Speaker 5: he didn't resign. It's crazy that they're letting him finish
- 3:31Speaker 5: his term. It's crazy. And it's elder abuse. It truly is.
- 3:39Speaker 5: But what can we do about it? Nothing. The Senate
- 3:42Speaker 5: could do something. They won't. The people of Kentucky already
- 3:46Speaker 5: know he's resigning.
- 3:47Speaker 6: So.
- 3:49Speaker 5: It's just sad. It was sad to see him wheeled
- 3:52Speaker 5: around like that yesterday. And he's sitting there in the
- 3:55Speaker 5: car with his mouth open, just staring forward. You know,
- 4:00Speaker 5: in a glazed haze. I'm like, I want what he's on.
- 4:04Speaker 5: And he was on something. And then they take him
- 4:07Speaker 5: to the Senate where he says like 12 words, takes
- 4:12Speaker 5: no questions and is wheeled away. I'm not sure that
- 4:16Speaker 5: he's not animatronic at this point. But I do know
- 4:19Speaker 5: one thing. That man should be as far away from
- 4:22Speaker 5: the Senate as anybody. Okay? It was just sad. Yes,
- 4:31Speaker 5: James Schnabel in the chat room. So good it needs
- 4:33Speaker 5: two introductions. It's just sad. So we have that going on. Okay? Now,
- 4:44Speaker 5: I would be lying to you, and I can't lie
- 4:47Speaker 5: to you, if I didn't say I was extraordinarily worried
- 4:50Speaker 5: about our country before, and now I'm extraordinarily worried about
- 4:57Speaker 5: the human race. And so this morning, when the headlines,
- 5:02Speaker 5: number one and number two headline, number one headline, Donald
- 5:07Speaker 5: Trump confirms weapons in space. I could do an hour
- 5:13Speaker 5: on how that is a remarkably bad idea, but It's
- 5:17Speaker 5: too late. They're there. Number two, the second headline, AI
- 5:23Speaker 5: concerns grow as Trump downplays and says all the U.S.
- 5:29Speaker 5: needs is a high IQ president to handle AI. Well,
- 5:34Speaker 5: he's right. He is absolutely right on that. He and
- 5:38Speaker 5: I agree. We need a high IQ president. The problem,
- 5:43Speaker 5: we ain't got one. We got him. Okay? So that's
- 5:46Speaker 5: part of the problem. You're right. Because a real high
- 5:50Speaker 5: IQ president would say, shut this shit down. But that's
- 5:56Speaker 5: not him. Okay? He is a fucking moron. How that
- 6:00Speaker 5: man makes so much money being so goddamn stupid, I
- 6:04Speaker 5: just don't know. But whatever. Whatever. So those two headlines,
- 6:09Speaker 5: and I'm like, have they not seen the Terminator movie?
- 6:12Speaker 5: Should we show the Terminator movie... To Congress. We know
- 6:17Speaker 5: that Mitch will fall asleep. But, you know, should we
- 6:20Speaker 5: show it to them? Weapons in space, rogue AI. What
- 6:27Speaker 5: could go wrong? I'm serious. What could go wrong? Rogue AI,
- 6:36Speaker 5: weapons in space. What could go wrong? A lot of
- 6:41Speaker 5: people are asking, well, how will it kill us? Because
- 6:44Speaker 5: I have a clip on Instagram going viral. And they're like, well,
- 6:47Speaker 5: how will it kill us? You don't know, moron. Okay?
- 6:53Speaker 5: And you don't know because you're about five million times
- 6:56Speaker 5: dumber than the AI that you're creating. So how will
- 7:02Speaker 5: it kill us? Only it knows. Because it's smarter.
- 7:08Speaker 6: If you're not visiting reallycurel.com daily... You're missing out. Get
- 7:14Speaker 6: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes, at reallycarell.com.
- 7:19Speaker 7: That's reallycarell.com.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Showtime is here. No time to fear.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Carell is so near because Showtime is here.
- 7:30Speaker 1: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Carell is the one that you.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Need to know.
- 7:39Speaker 5: All righty-dighty-dighty. We are back. We're back, we're here, and
- 7:44Speaker 5: I'm a queer. How about that? So that's the first
- 7:54Speaker 5: thing on my mind. Real and genuine concern for us
- 8:00Speaker 5: as a species. That's a real concern. I'm not the
- 8:04Speaker 5: only one concerned, by the way. Weapons in space concerning. Now,
- 8:09Speaker 5: it's a bad morning for Donald Trump. A judge has said,
- 8:11Speaker 5: keep his fucking name off the Kennedy Center. How clear
- 8:15Speaker 5: do I have to be? Only Congress can do this.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Not him. Not the board of the Kennedy Center. Just Congress.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Get his fucking name off and leave it off. That's
- 8:30Speaker 5: his big concern this morning. And then the U.S. Supreme
- 8:33Speaker 5: Court also said today, no, you can't fuck with the
- 8:37Speaker 5: mail-in ballots this close to when they're already sending out
- 8:40Speaker 5: mail-in ballots. And no, your executive order does not override
- 8:46Speaker 5: the states who are in control of the election. So no,
- 8:52Speaker 5: we are not issuing an order that says your mail-in
- 8:54Speaker 5: ballot rule stands. It doesn't. Done. Done with it. Oh,
- 9:00Speaker 5: and he's so mad. He denounced the three judges that
- 9:03Speaker 5: he appointed because they're not behaving like his minions, like
- 9:07Speaker 5: he thought he would and they would. He truly believes
- 9:11Speaker 5: the Supreme Court will do exactly what he wants because
- 9:14Speaker 5: he appointed those three judges. He truly believes it. And
- 9:19Speaker 5: this morning they didn't. So now he's all pissed off
- 9:23Speaker 5: at them. Okay. Okay. So he's not having a fun morning.
- 9:30Speaker 5: And that makes me happy. It does. But then again,
- 9:34Speaker 5: I'm not having a fun morning. And I wonder, is
- 9:38Speaker 5: it me? You know, my friend Steve yesterday, who I
- 9:42Speaker 5: love and adore, and I know he thinks I don't
- 9:44Speaker 5: listen to him, but I do. My friend David this
- 9:48Speaker 5: morning hurt my feelings. We'll talk about that later. But
- 9:52Speaker 5: my friend Steve this morning, or yesterday actually, talked about
- 9:57Speaker 5: my show. And he said, you've got to stop watching
- 10:00Speaker 5: the news and i said why he goes because your
- 10:02Speaker 5: show is so negative and i thought what the fuck
- 10:11Speaker 5: how is everybody's show not negative We have credible threats
- 10:16Speaker 5: that within six to 12 months, an AI will be
- 10:18Speaker 5: created that can swarm and shut down the internet. That's
- 10:22Speaker 5: within six to 12 months. Then we have a greater
- 10:27Speaker 5: than 10% chance that within a few years, it will
- 10:30Speaker 5: kill us all. And what are the billionaires saying? And
- 10:33Speaker 5: what are those in power saying? Oh no, those are
- 10:35Speaker 5: just naysayers. Those are just doomsayers. Those are just people
- 10:39Speaker 5: that don't know. They're the fucking people who are programming it.
- 10:46Speaker 5: So the people that should be taking it seriously are not.
- 10:51Speaker 5: And the inventors who should be shutting the shit down,
- 10:55Speaker 5: they're waiting for someone to tell them to shut it down.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Las Vegas is the second most expensive grocery market in
- 11:04Speaker 5: the United States. I happen to live here and I
- 11:07Speaker 5: am not rich. Well, it's okay because I'm not eating either.
- 11:12Speaker 5: I've gone from 217 pounds to 211 in a week
- 11:17Speaker 5: and a half without Zepound. Because as many of you,
- 11:21Speaker 5: including Brenda Becker, sent me an email and said, well,
- 11:24Speaker 5: why don't you just try to lose weight first without
- 11:26Speaker 5: the Zepound and give yourself to your birthday, November 7th.
- 11:30Speaker 5: And if by the time your birthday rolls around, you
- 11:34Speaker 5: haven't lost the weight that you think you should have,
- 11:36Speaker 5: then go on the Zepound. I'm like, you know, solid thinking.
- 11:40Speaker 5: I'll do that. So I have lost six pounds. Once
- 11:47Speaker 5: I get below 199, once I break the 200 mark,
- 11:50Speaker 5: which is in 11 more pounds, then I'll have no problem.
- 11:54Speaker 5: It's just getting below 200 that's going to be hard.
- 11:59Speaker 5: So I thought to myself, am I too negative? Or
- 12:04Speaker 5: is the world just a fucking negative place right now?
- 12:08Speaker 5: Diesel fuel is so expensive they can't afford to move
- 12:11Speaker 5: goods and services. The Iran war is escalating, not decreasing.
- 12:17Speaker 5: In the Ukraine, NATO is now talking about a global conflict.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Read World War. Should I just be ignoring that? Ain't
- 12:27Speaker 5: nothing I can do about it. Should I just wake
- 12:30Speaker 5: up every day, live my life to the fullest? Okay,
- 12:33Speaker 5: so let's say that I take that tact. Let's say
- 12:36Speaker 5: that I decide that each and every day, I'm just
- 12:39Speaker 5: going to get up, live my best fucking life, and
- 12:42Speaker 5: you know what? Whatever happens to the world fucking happens.
- 12:45Speaker 5: I mean, I can't stop it. So what do I
- 12:48Speaker 5: do this morning? I get up, I do my breakfast,
- 12:52Speaker 5: and I look at the headlines, unfortunately. I start with
- 12:55Speaker 5: today in history. because I send out a meme every
- 12:58Speaker 5: day to let people know I'm alive, and it's the
- 13:00Speaker 5: day in history. Today was the day they filmed the
- 13:03Speaker 5: famous Marilyn Monroe scene in the Seven Year Itch, where
- 13:08Speaker 5: her dress blew up. Joe DiMaggio had a fit, and
- 13:12Speaker 5: it divided the nation. Half the nation thought it was
- 13:16Speaker 5: exploiting a woman and too sexual. The photo, very famous
- 13:20Speaker 5: photo of Marilyn Monroe holding her skirt down. And the
- 13:23Speaker 5: other half thought, no problem. They blew that photo up
- 13:27Speaker 5: to over 100 feet for the premiere in front of
- 13:30Speaker 5: Grauman's Chinese Theater. And when Joe DiMaggio saw it, he
- 13:33Speaker 5: made them take it down and paint underwear. So on
- 13:38Speaker 5: the side of her dress, you didn't see her legs
- 13:40Speaker 5: so much. So you saw an underwear. She wasn't wearing
- 13:44Speaker 5: those underwear when the photo was taken. Marilyn, in response
- 13:49Speaker 5: to it all, said, oh, all this fuss over a
- 13:51Speaker 5: silly little dress. You know, she didn't really care. So
- 13:56Speaker 5: that was today in history, by the way. So then
- 13:58Speaker 5: I have breakfast with Ember, which is always a joy
- 14:01Speaker 5: because my little girl is aging and I don't know
- 14:03Speaker 5: how many breakfasts I have left with her. And I'm
- 14:05Speaker 5: very blessed. Blessed to have my oat groats and my fruit,
- 14:09Speaker 5: my walnuts, my craisins, my tea, Harney and Sons tea,
- 14:13Speaker 5: which I tried to go order yesterday. So every four months,
- 14:18Speaker 5: I have to order six pounds of tea. You're like,
- 14:21Speaker 5: six pounds? Yes, six bags of tea. One pound, loose-leaf bags. Normally,
- 14:29Speaker 5: that's $ 120 for six bags because the tea is normally
- 14:34Speaker 5: $ 20 to $ 21 an ounce, or I mean a pound.
- 14:38Speaker 5: How much do you suppose six bags of tea at
- 14:42Speaker 5: Harney & Sons is now? It was $ 120. How much
- 14:45Speaker 5: do you think it is now?
- 14:47Speaker 6: $ 256.
- 14:47Speaker 5: I didn't hit buy. I know that lasts me four
- 14:58Speaker 5: or five months, but I was like $ 250 for tea?
- 15:08Speaker 5: Like you. Sticker shock. So that didn't help my morning
- 15:13Speaker 5: this morning. I come in and do yoga, which is lovely.
- 15:18Speaker 5: And I start looking online while waiting to do the
- 15:21Speaker 5: yoga because Ember and I have to play ball and
- 15:23Speaker 5: she has to get a snack. And While looking online,
- 15:28Speaker 5: I see that yesterday at a fashion event, a woman
- 15:33Speaker 5: came in. Can I find this? How can I show
- 15:37Speaker 5: you this? I need to show you this. Because a
- 15:40Speaker 5: woman came in to the PETA event. Now, granted, she
- 15:44Speaker 5: should not have been in. She should have been protesting outside.
- 15:48Speaker 5: And she was protesting outside. The use of wool. Because
- 15:52Speaker 5: if you saw how they treat the sheep, someone said, well,
- 15:55Speaker 5: they don't kill the sheep. Why would you care about
- 15:58Speaker 5: the use of wool? They are vicious. They punch them
- 16:02Speaker 5: in the face. Sometimes they knock them out to take
- 16:05Speaker 5: their wool. It's horrible. It's horrible what they do. And
- 16:10Speaker 5: a woman went in yesterday to protest this. And a man, male,
- 16:21Speaker 5: at the event decided that he was going to take
- 16:28Speaker 5: her out. That he was going to take her out.
- 16:34Speaker 5: And so this head, okay, this head of the World
- 16:38Speaker 5: Fashion Organization tackles this woman, okay, just captures this woman.
- 16:50Speaker 1: And I.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Can't even explain what he does. I'll have to show it.
- 16:54Speaker 5: He hog ties her. He holds her down. You know,
- 16:59Speaker 5: he does all kinds of horrible things to her. Now,
- 17:03Speaker 5: let me see if I can do this here. Let
- 17:05Speaker 5: me see. Okay, are you still with me? Okay, there
- 17:07Speaker 5: you are. Here, let me go to this post. Okay,
- 17:11Speaker 5: here's this woman talking about it. And she's upset because
- 17:14Speaker 5: she's tired of women being abused and people assaulting women.
- 17:18Speaker 5: So there's the guy. That's him. That's the guy that
- 17:21Speaker 5: did it. He is the head of some fashion society,
- 17:27Speaker 5: and it's fashion week in New York. And PETA was
- 17:30Speaker 5: there to protest the use of wool. So watch. Oh, yeah,
- 17:35Speaker 5: that's what they do to the sheep there. Sorry about that.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Trigger warning. And so here we go. Come on. Show
- 17:41Speaker 5: the video. Come on, woman. Ah, she's just blathering on,
- 17:46Speaker 5: this woman with this enormous bow. She reminded me of, there, watch.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Look at him. Look at him. He's covering her mouth
- 17:53Speaker 5: like she cannot breathe. Look, wrapping his legs around her.
- 17:58Speaker 5: She is screaming, let me go, let me up. And
- 18:01Speaker 5: he doesn't. He holds her there until security can come.
- 18:08Speaker 5: That's assault. What you just saw is assault. Okay, she's
- 18:16Speaker 5: blathering on this woman talking about how this is assault
- 18:18Speaker 5: and how women just keep being abused and no one
- 18:21Speaker 5: does anything and how nobody really cares. I think she
- 18:24Speaker 5: shows more of the video again. And whether or not
- 18:27Speaker 5: you agree with PETA, I agree with PETA. We shouldn't
- 18:30Speaker 5: use wool. There are other things we can use. We
- 18:32Speaker 5: are abusing sheep or we should use sustainable wool from
- 18:35Speaker 5: farms that don't beat the fuck out of their sheep.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Now he says, I reacted inappropriately. Assault on a woman. Inappropriate.
- 18:46Speaker 5: Is there a better view? Let's see if there's a
- 18:48Speaker 5: better view.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Here.
- 18:49Speaker 5: Let's see.
- 18:50Speaker 3: There.
- 18:51Speaker 5: There. Look at him. Look at him. Look what he's doing.
- 18:55Speaker 5: And then he covers her mouth.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Look.
- 18:56Speaker 5: He's not even sure she can breathe. Look at this.
- 19:01Speaker 5: And this wasn't the only person he did it to.
- 19:04Speaker 5: He did it to a man that was at the
- 19:06Speaker 5: event too. Went and covered his mouth. Look at him. Look,
- 19:12Speaker 5: ripping her sign, grabbing it. Look, here's another guy. And
- 19:16Speaker 5: watch what he does to this. Look, covering this guy's mouth.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Look at this. That is assault. Okay? That's assault. But
- 19:29Speaker 5: we live in a world where Donald Trump can basically
- 19:33Speaker 5: verbally assault female reporters in the Oval or on his plane,
- 19:40Speaker 5: and no one does a thing. physically assaults female reporters verbally.
- 19:47Speaker 5: Not physically, sorry, Donald Trump. But this guy... has still
- 19:50Speaker 5: got a job. Okay? He's still employed. He's still got
- 19:55Speaker 5: a job. How is that possible? How is that possible?
- 20:03Speaker 5: You know? I am so sick of women being abused
- 20:08Speaker 5: right in front of all of us. And no one
- 20:10Speaker 5: doing a fucking thing. Let's start with the Epstein files.
- 20:16Speaker 5: What does the Epstein files have to do with the
- 20:18Speaker 5: little elf Ed Sheeran? You're like, well, I don't know, Carell.
- 20:23Speaker 5: What does the Epstein files have to do with the
- 20:25Speaker 5: little elf Ed Sheeran? Let me tell you. There's a rapper,
- 20:29Speaker 5: a very handsome rapper, who is also very pro-LGBTQ. His
- 20:35Speaker 5: name is Macklemore. He had a large hit with Macklemore
- 20:39Speaker 5: and Ryan Lewis, was it? I believe it was. And
- 20:41Speaker 5: it was about going shopping at a thrift store. I
- 20:45Speaker 5: don't remember the specifics of the song. You'll have to
- 20:47Speaker 5: look it up. But it was a funny song and
- 20:50Speaker 5: it was a huge hit. And then after that, he
- 20:52Speaker 5: had a bunch more hits. Ed Sheeran and him have
- 20:56Speaker 5: been friends for 14 years. So Ed Sheeran said, why
- 20:58Speaker 5: don't you open on my tour for me? Macklemore said, sure.
- 21:02Speaker 5: Macklemore believes that Israel is committing genocide. Well, it's no
- 21:06Speaker 5: longer a belief. Macklemore confirms what we all know, which
- 21:10Speaker 5: is Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. That Israel is
- 21:14Speaker 5: illegally occupying Palestinian land and taking their homes. that Israel
- 21:19Speaker 5: for decades has abused the Palestinians, has made them live
- 21:24Speaker 5: in an apartheid, and now has committed genocide against them.
- 21:28Speaker 5: That's a fact. It's not anti-Semitic. It's history. It is
- 21:33Speaker 5: what it is. Okay? It is genocide. They are occupying
- 21:39Speaker 5: lands that are not theirs. They are theirs. They are
- 21:42Speaker 5: breaking treaties and they are killing innocent women and children.
- 21:47Speaker 5: That is a fact. Okay? And none of it was
- 21:53Speaker 5: warranted after what happened to them. After Hamas attacked them,
- 22:00Speaker 5: committing genocide was not the answer. Okay?
- 22:03Speaker 1: Okay?
- 22:04Speaker 5: So Macklemore says on stage, free Palestine. And he has
- 22:09Speaker 5: a Palestinian flag. What do you suppose happened? And how
- 22:15Speaker 5: does it relate to the Epstein file? I will tell
- 22:18Speaker 5: you when we come back. So don't go anywhere. Well,
- 22:23Speaker 5: you can pee, I suppose. Don't do that. Don't be
- 22:25Speaker 5: like Trump and just do it in your pants or
- 22:27Speaker 5: your diapers.
- 22:39Speaker 7: Patreon is the way to show you care.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Subscribe today if you dare.
- 22:45Speaker 7: Keep the show on there.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Patreon is the way.
- 22:54Speaker 5: Hey everyone, it's Karel. You know, Pride Month was rough
- 23:01Speaker 5: this year. We had a lot of hate heaped upon
- 23:03Speaker 5: us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other governments around
- 23:07Speaker 5: the world. And if you are a trans person, you
- 23:10Speaker 5: are really going through a particular type of hell right now.
- 23:13Speaker 5: That's why when I was thinking of my next single
- 23:15Speaker 5: in June, I sat down and I wrote, you have
- 23:18Speaker 5: to be proud. You have to be proud with anger
- 23:22Speaker 5: so loud. Streaming everywhere. Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing.
- 23:29Speaker 5: We're going to win. All right. Just answering some stuff
- 23:43Speaker 5: in the chat room at youtube.com forward slash really corral. Uh,
- 23:49Speaker 5: hi Captain Planet, uh, Michelle Crocker, they are sociopaths. Yes,
- 23:52Speaker 5: they are. Um, all cash 9182, that's aggravated assault. Yes,
- 23:59Speaker 5: it was. It's battery once you touch or hit them. Yes,
- 24:02Speaker 5: it is. Uh, and, and that's that. So Macklemore opens
- 24:09Speaker 5: for Ed Sheeran and these 90,000 seat venues on his
- 24:12Speaker 5: American leg of his tour. And he does Free Palestine.
- 24:18Speaker 5: He talks about equality, how the Palestinians should be able
- 24:21Speaker 5: to vote for their own destiny, how they should have
- 24:24Speaker 5: their own state, as promised, and how Israel should leave
- 24:29Speaker 5: the occupied territories, which is a nice word for stolen land.
- 24:34Speaker 5: Calling them occupied territories is like you going next door
- 24:39Speaker 5: and taking over your neighbor's house and yard and saying
- 24:42Speaker 5: it is now occupied territory. No, that's theft. That's home invasion.
- 24:48Speaker 5: So Israel are home invaders. It's what they are. You
- 24:52Speaker 5: cannot argue with me on this, and you can't call
- 24:55Speaker 5: me anti-Semitic. Israel are home invaders. They've invaded the homes
- 25:00Speaker 5: of Palestinians and kicked them out in territory that is
- 25:04Speaker 5: not theirs. And Israel, as a state, has committed state-sponsored
- 25:12Speaker 5: acts of terror against i.e. genocide. Those are facts and evidence.
- 25:17Speaker 5: You can't fucking argue with me on them. And if
- 25:19Speaker 5: you do, take your ass somewhere else because you're too
- 25:22Speaker 5: stupid to listen to my show because you won't understand
- 25:25Speaker 5: anything I have to say because only intelligent people get
- 25:28Speaker 5: what I have to say. So if you're a moron,
- 25:32Speaker 5: go the fuck away. So, Macklemore says, free Palestine, stop
- 25:39Speaker 5: killing Palestinian women and children, and let's work out an
- 25:43Speaker 5: agreement for a two-state solution. All reasonably fair. Well, Mr. Kraft,
- 25:53Speaker 5: who is listed in the Epstein files, the billionaire, Mr. Kraft,
- 26:01Speaker 5: owns a stadium that Ed Sheeran was supposed to be in.
- 26:06Speaker 5: So Mr. Kraft calls Ed Sheeran's people and says, he
- 26:11Speaker 5: can't come to do a show here if Macklemore opens
- 26:15Speaker 5: for him. Period. Now, one stadium, they were like, well,
- 26:21Speaker 5: then we'll move the show. Then Kraft, noted in the
- 26:25Speaker 5: Epstein files, so a probable sexual predator, calls a few
- 26:31Speaker 5: of his other billionaire friends that own stadiums, and of
- 26:36Speaker 5: the nine remaining stadium tour stops left, seven of them
- 26:42Speaker 5: threatened to cancel on Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran, who is
- 26:46Speaker 5: a billionaire, okay? Ed Sheeran, who makes more money touring
- 26:50Speaker 5: than any other artist, look it up, even more than
- 26:53Speaker 5: Taylor Swift, okay? So Ed doesn't need the fucking money.
- 26:59Speaker 5: What does Ed's people do when this known sexual predator
- 27:03Speaker 5: in the Epstein files gets his billionaire friends to gang
- 27:07Speaker 5: up on them and say, if you let Macklemore open,
- 27:10Speaker 5: you can't come to our stadium? They cave. They cave,
- 27:15Speaker 5: and they kick Macklemore off the tour. Macklemore calls his
- 27:21Speaker 5: friend Ed Sheeran, who says, I can't pick a side,
- 27:25Speaker 5: according to Macklemore. He said, I can't pick a side.
- 27:29Speaker 5: I'm apolitical. I don't get into politics. I'm sorry, but
- 27:35Speaker 5: I can't have these seven dates canceled. A, yes, he could.
- 27:40Speaker 5: Then yesterday, Ed Sheeran gets a shit ton of backlash
- 27:45Speaker 5: because everyone's all, you can't pick a side when there's
- 27:48Speaker 5: genocide going on? That's like saying, I know Hitler's killing
- 27:52Speaker 5: the Jews, but I really can't, you know, render an
- 27:55Speaker 5: opinion on that. I have to stay apolitical. Same thing, okay?
- 28:01Speaker 5: So suddenly everyone's turning on Ed Sheeran and saying, how
- 28:05Speaker 5: can you not pick a side? Why did you not
- 28:07Speaker 5: tell those venue owners to get fucked that you'll go
- 28:09Speaker 5: to some other venue? So today, Ed Sheeran issues a
- 28:14Speaker 5: statement supporting Palestine, saying he hopes the people in Palestine, whatever,
- 28:20Speaker 5: he doesn't really full out comment, say he supports Palestine.
- 28:23Speaker 5: But he says, you know, I don't wish anybody dead, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 28:27Speaker 5: And passes the fucking buck and says it wasn't his
- 28:32Speaker 5: decision to make. I'm in the music business, Ed. Fuck you. Yes,
- 28:37Speaker 5: it was. Okay? You are ultimately the highest name on
- 28:43Speaker 5: the marquee. Well, I could be sued if I canceled
- 28:47Speaker 5: those dates. You're a billionaire. What do you care? You
- 28:51Speaker 5: have a floor full of lawyers to handle this very thing.
- 28:56Speaker 5: And you're not canceling the dates. They booked that tour.
- 29:00Speaker 5: And now they're telling you if you don't change that tour...
- 29:04Speaker 5: that you can't go there. You would not only not
- 29:07Speaker 5: have to do the dates, but you could get money
- 29:09Speaker 5: from each of those venues for canceling on you. But
- 29:14Speaker 5: Ed Sheeran backed away. Said, no, it's easier to fire McElmore.
- 29:19Speaker 5: I guess I won't ever be going to an Ed
- 29:21Speaker 5: Sheeran concert. Too bad, I liked him. I did like him.
- 29:25Speaker 5: I did. So the person who is doing the right thing,
- 29:30Speaker 5: standing up against genocide, gets told he can't do the
- 29:36Speaker 5: tour in a country that alleges free speech, first of all.
- 29:41Speaker 5: And then gets thrown under the bus by his friend.
- 29:45Speaker 7: Why?
- 29:46Speaker 5: Because a man that is in the Epstein files, a billionaire,
- 29:51Speaker 5: decided it all with his other billionaire friends. And that's
- 29:55Speaker 5: why this AI thing scares me. Because it's billionaires that
- 30:00Speaker 5: are deciding our fate. And look at who these people are.
- 30:04Speaker 5: Sexual predators. Political extremists. People who don't care if you
- 30:10Speaker 5: wipe out an entire people. Who don't care about genocide.
- 30:15Speaker 5: They don't care about 100,000 dead. They don't care. And
- 30:20Speaker 5: they certainly don't care about you or I. All I
- 30:23Speaker 5: want to say is that they don't really care about us.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Michael knew it. Okay? And these are just, you know,
- 30:34Speaker 5: a sample of what the news holds. I can't pick
- 30:40Speaker 5: a side because both sides are in the wrong? Yeah, no. Sorry.
- 30:46Speaker 5: Hamas was in the wrong. Hamas. So, Michelle Crocker, if
- 30:53Speaker 5: someone wants to harm you as an American... Because of
- 30:57Speaker 5: the actions of Donald Trump. Are you in the wrong?
- 31:01Speaker 5: He's your president. It's your country. So if harming you
- 31:08Speaker 5: is okay then, right? I mean, your president's run amok.
- 31:12Speaker 5: He started a war. He's literally killing people with HIV
- 31:16Speaker 5: AIDS by withdrawing medication. So he's causing the death of
- 31:20Speaker 5: millions of people. Donald Trump. He started a war. That
- 31:25Speaker 5: is making us all suffer.
- 31:27Speaker 8: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Yours.
- 31:33Speaker 7: Listen daily to.
- 31:34Speaker 6: The Corelcast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
- 31:45Speaker 6: the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving you crazy. It's
- 31:51Speaker 6: broadcasting from a completely different.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Point of view.
- 31:55Speaker 5: Yours.
- 31:57Speaker 6: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
- 32:08Speaker 6: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving
- 32:13Speaker 6: you crazy.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
- 32:19Speaker 5: very personal to me, and the video now is very
- 32:22Speaker 5: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
- 32:24Speaker 5: cry all the time. But I cried the first time,
- 32:26Speaker 5: I thought. We all have somebody, whether it's someone that's
- 32:29Speaker 5: passed from AIDS or some other thing. We all have
- 32:32Speaker 5: people that we danced with, and that's why we dance.
- 32:36Speaker 5: Stream I Dance Because on all services.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Now it's your turn.
- 32:45Speaker 5: Okay, on this, Michelle Crocker and I agree. Netanyahu needs
- 32:48Speaker 5: to be put on trial for war crimes. He does.
- 32:51Speaker 5: He certainly does. He's unhinged and very dangerous, just like
- 32:55Speaker 5: Donald Trump, and they both need to go on trial
- 32:57Speaker 5: for war crimes. That's just a fact. So we have
- 33:04Speaker 5: AI data centers being built all over our neighborhoods and
- 33:07Speaker 5: we don't want them, but we can't stop them because
- 33:09Speaker 5: the billionaires want them. They're taking our water. They're taking
- 33:12Speaker 5: our power. They're taking our resources. We are feeding them
- 33:16Speaker 5: the stuff that gives us life, water. Lake Tahoe, okay,
- 33:24Speaker 5: will no longer have energy next year from NV Energy.
- 33:29Speaker 5: Because NV Energy announced it cannot supply the homes at
- 33:33Speaker 5: Lake Tahoe and the data center that they're building there.
- 33:38Speaker 5: So they had to pick, and they picked the data center.
- 33:42Speaker 5: I am making this up. Look it up. So we're
- 33:46Speaker 5: feeding AI our life's blood so it can kill us.
- 33:51Speaker 5: Our president says we need no guardrails, just a high
- 33:55Speaker 5: IQ president, which we don't have. Our Senate is made
- 33:59Speaker 5: up of people like Mitch McConnell who are drooling on
- 34:02Speaker 5: the very bills that they are trying to vote on.
- 34:07Speaker 5: Our climate daily is trying to kill us. It's going
- 34:10Speaker 5: to be 100 again today in Las Vegas, 10 degrees
- 34:14Speaker 5: above what, quote, is normal. But no, this is the
- 34:17Speaker 5: new normal. This is the coolest summer of the rest
- 34:21Speaker 5: of your life. No matter where you live, this summer
- 34:25Speaker 5: was the coolest summer you'll ever have. for the rest
- 34:28Speaker 5: of your life. And I'm negative. I'm the one being
- 34:36Speaker 5: too negative. Yes, I agree, where is Robin Hood when
- 34:41Speaker 5: you need it? You know, I've interviewed President Jimmy Carter
- 34:46Speaker 5: when he was alive and we had a lengthy conversation
- 34:48Speaker 5: about Israel and that former president whose peace deal is
- 34:52Speaker 5: the only existing peace deal that remains, looked right in
- 34:55Speaker 5: my face on a video call and said, you really
- 35:00Speaker 5: get it. You really understand this. Have you thought of
- 35:05Speaker 5: running for office? This is what a former president said
- 35:08Speaker 5: to me, to moi. I'll never forget that interview. Well, first,
- 35:13Speaker 5: I'll never forget it because I told my niece to
- 35:14Speaker 5: tell him to hold. Heather lived with me at the
- 35:16Speaker 5: time and they called. And they were early and I
- 35:19Speaker 5: was gardening and Andrew had passed. I was gardening and
- 35:21Speaker 5: I had all this stuff on my hands and they
- 35:23Speaker 5: called early. So I said, will you please tell them
- 35:26Speaker 5: to hold? And she's all, you want me to tell
- 35:28Speaker 5: President Jimmy Carter to hold on? I said, yeah, I
- 35:32Speaker 5: got to wash my hands. So we did the interview
- 35:35Speaker 5: and at the end, which is in the movie, the
- 35:38Speaker 5: man from Georgia, by the way, they called and asked
- 35:41Speaker 5: if they could use that interview in their movie. I said,
- 35:43Speaker 5: of course. So I had someone who's negotiated at the
- 35:49Speaker 5: table with that, what was his name? He wore the
- 35:55Speaker 5: Italian tablecloth on his head. Oh, what was his name?
- 35:59Speaker 5: He was the ruler of Hamas forever. What was his name?
- 36:02Speaker 5: You all know his name. Oh, what was his name?
- 36:06Speaker 5: You know, he always wore the Italian tablecloth on his head.
- 36:09Speaker 5: What was his name? Oh, I forget. But anyway, he
- 36:13Speaker 5: was their ruler for a long, long time. So I
- 36:17Speaker 5: get it. I've been told by people who've sat at
- 36:19Speaker 5: the table that I get it. And here's what I get.
- 36:24Speaker 5: Israel used to be in the right. They used to
- 36:28Speaker 5: have moral high ground on which to stand. They no
- 36:32Speaker 5: longer do. Period. Period. They did. They were the ones
- 36:40Speaker 5: constantly under attack. And even though there was an apartheid,
- 36:46Speaker 5: and all of that. But what were the Palestinians supposed
- 36:49Speaker 5: to do? You build a wall down the middle of
- 36:52Speaker 5: a city. You make them enter, leave and enter through
- 36:56Speaker 5: separate places, not the same as the Israelis. You make
- 37:00Speaker 5: them live under your laws, but you don't let them
- 37:03Speaker 5: vote for the lawmakers. You tell them how to live.
- 37:09Speaker 5: You tell them how much energy they're going to have,
- 37:11Speaker 5: how much water they're going to have. You tell them
- 37:13Speaker 5: where they can live. And then you change your mind
- 37:16Speaker 5: and take the land that you told them they could
- 37:18Speaker 5: live on. What were they supposed to do? Explain to
- 37:26Speaker 5: me how that doesn't breed terrorism. Come on, I'll wait.
- 37:34Speaker 5: Explain to me how the treatment of Palestinians by the
- 37:37Speaker 5: Israelis didn't breed to terrorism. Go ahead. Explain it. I'll wait.

- 38:44Speaker 3: Carell is the one that you need to know.
- 38:49Speaker 5: Yasser Arafat. That's who I was trying to think of.
- 38:55Speaker 5: So Macklemore, you know, ends up Getting kicked off the
- 39:00Speaker 5: tour for telling the truth because someone in the Epstein files,
- 39:05Speaker 5: a billionaire, didn't want him on the tour. Okay. Okay.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Trump confirms we've got weapons in space while he downplays
- 39:17Speaker 5: the AI threat. Meanwhile, the tech bros that have made
- 39:20Speaker 5: it are upplaying the AI threat and they could easily
- 39:24Speaker 5: take over the weapons in space. Easily. like because there's
- 39:29Speaker 5: a computer the weapons in space are linked to earth
- 39:32Speaker 5: by a computer and that is easily exploitable by ai
- 39:37Speaker 5: agents where it could just target something and shoot without
- 39:42Speaker 5: without anything alexa shut up i hate when it just
- 39:46Speaker 5: starts talking So you have that going on. Groceries, out
- 39:53Speaker 5: of control. Gas prices, out of control. Housing prices. Some
- 39:57Speaker 5: asshole on Instagram was like, Long Beach is the most
- 40:00Speaker 5: affordable beach city in Southern California. You can get a
- 40:03Speaker 5: home near the beach for $ 900, 000. Because somehow a million
- 40:08Speaker 5: fucking dollars in today's world is affordable when the average
- 40:12Speaker 5: income of an American is $ 71, 000 and only 27 million
- 40:14Speaker 5: Americans have over a million dollars. I am so tired
- 40:16Speaker 5: of hearing how affordable $ 500, 000 is or $ 800, 000 or a
- 40:18Speaker 5: million dollars or how affordable $ 4, 000 a month rent is.
- 40:24Speaker 5: There is $ 4, 000 a month rent everywhere. Everywhere now. Everywhere.
- 40:38Speaker 5: Not the French fucking Riviera. Not to live right under
- 40:41Speaker 5: the Eiffel Tower. To live on 10th Street in Long Beach. $ 2, 700
- 40:47Speaker 5: for a two-bedroom. Affordable? For who? Food banks in my
- 40:54Speaker 5: local community have lines around the block. Social service agencies
- 41:00Speaker 5: are depleted because there's just no fucking money to give
- 41:03Speaker 5: out because so many people need the services. Social Security
- 41:08Speaker 5: teetering on the brink of destruction. Our economy down the tubes. Oh,
- 41:15Speaker 5: but Trump says it's fine. Here in Las Vegas, our
- 41:19Speaker 5: grocery prices, the second most expensive in the country. What
- 41:22Speaker 5: does Joe Lombardo, our governor, say? That we all need
- 41:25Speaker 5: to feel a little pain to make sure Iraq doesn't
- 41:27Speaker 5: get a nuke. I don't care if Iraq has a nuke.
- 41:30Speaker 5: I don't care if Iran has a nuke. I don't
- 41:32Speaker 5: care if your mama has a nuke. I don't fucking care.
- 41:38Speaker 5: Nuke is not the problem anymore. AI is. Does Iran
- 41:43Speaker 5: have AI? We should be more concerned about that. And
- 41:49Speaker 5: I said it yesterday and I believe it today. Why
- 41:51Speaker 5: aren't we willing to go to war over AI? Why
- 41:55Speaker 5: aren't we willing to tell China and Russia and every
- 41:59Speaker 5: other country, either you stop the development or we will
- 42:03Speaker 5: launch and destroy your tech centers? Is the complete annihilation
- 42:10Speaker 5: of the human race not enough to warrant going to war?
- 42:14Speaker 5: We go to war over oil all the time. Israel
- 42:19Speaker 5: committed genocide because of one attack. AI might kill us all.
- 42:26Speaker 5: And we're not going to do shit. And you wonder
- 42:31Speaker 5: why I'm negative. You wonder why I'm right. Yes, China
- 42:36Speaker 5: and North Korea all have AI, and we need to
- 42:38Speaker 5: tell them, stop developing it or we will blow you
- 42:41Speaker 5: the fuck up. And if they say, well, then we'll
- 42:44Speaker 5: blow you up too, I would rather a complete nuclear
- 42:48Speaker 5: war happen and tens of millions of people die than
- 42:53Speaker 5: the annihilation of the entire human race. I would sacrifice
- 42:58Speaker 5: 100 million people for 8 billion people. Sometimes the needs
- 43:05Speaker 5: of the many outweigh the needs of the one. And
- 43:11Speaker 5: you're like, Carell, that is common sense. If you have
- 43:16Speaker 5: to sacrifice 10 million, 100 million, whatever you have to
- 43:20Speaker 5: sacrifice to save the entire species, then that's what you do.
- 43:28Speaker 5: This fear... of telling China and North Korea and Russia, stop.
- 43:34Speaker 5: And if you don't stop, we will stop you. Why
- 43:40Speaker 5: do we have nuclear weapons? Why do we have them?
- 43:45Speaker 5: Is it not to defend ourselves and humankind? Is that
- 43:49Speaker 5: not the reason we have them? To defend ourselves and
- 43:53Speaker 5: defend humankind. Well, if North Korea and China and Russia
- 43:59Speaker 5: are developing technologies that will work out all of mankind,
- 44:04Speaker 5: including us, is that not worth to go to war
- 44:07Speaker 5: over if they say they won't stop? That is not
- 44:11Speaker 5: a rhetorical question. You're going to have to ask yourself,
- 44:14Speaker 5: what is the survival of the human race worth? What
- 44:18Speaker 5: is it worth? If you say, well, it's not worth
- 44:22Speaker 5: a nuclear war, then we're done. then you, everyone you know,
- 44:27Speaker 5: all of your family and friends will die. And maybe
- 44:30Speaker 5: within five years. And you haven't let that sink in yet.
- 44:35Speaker 5: These people are not alarmists. They know what the fuck
- 44:39Speaker 5: they're talking about. So there. You know? World War III
- 44:48Speaker 5: is happening right in front of our frickin' faces. Putin
- 44:52Speaker 5: bombing a train station yesterday where diplomats from 11 different
- 44:56Speaker 5: countries were wanting to hit that train, that's an attack
- 45:00Speaker 5: on NATO. That's World War III. Now, I know that
- 45:06Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin's best friend just paid for Don Jr. 's wedding,
- 45:10Speaker 5: his reception. A billionaire oligarch, best friends with Putin, just
- 45:17Speaker 5: bankrolled Don Jr. 's wedding reception. And everybody's okay with that.
- 45:24Speaker 5: Everybody's fine with that. Oh, yeah, that's no big deal.
- 45:27Speaker 5: The president's son's wedding reception was paid for by a
- 45:33Speaker 5: billionaire oligarch friend of Vladimir Putin. And that's fine with everybody.
- 45:43Speaker 5: You know.
- 45:47Speaker 5: We need an EMP. I agree. Yes, not nuclear weapons.
- 45:51Speaker 5: Nuclear weapons will not be good for this. We need
- 45:53Speaker 5: an EMP. I absolutely agree. Maybe we have one. Maybe
- 45:59Speaker 5: when Trump said, well, I have a gadget that could
- 46:01Speaker 5: stop it. That's what he said. Maybe we do. In
- 46:05Speaker 5: the show Paradise on Hulu, a great show. The president
- 46:09Speaker 5: has an EMP in case of a worldwide nuclear launch.
- 46:15Speaker 5: If the nukes are all flying, there's a last-ditch global
- 46:19Speaker 5: EMP that the president sets off and it kills all
- 46:23Speaker 5: technology in the world. Everything. Every computer, every electronic, everything
- 46:27Speaker 5: is fried. I hope we have one because we're going
- 46:32Speaker 5: to need it. But it would be computer-controlled. So AI
- 46:37Speaker 5: would be able to protect itself because there are computer
- 46:41Speaker 5: systems that are shielded from EMPs. We're not dumb. We've
- 46:45Speaker 5: built computers in Faraday cages. That's what would protect them
- 46:48Speaker 5: from an EMP. So AI would just find a computer
- 46:52Speaker 5: inside a Faraday cage and hide out until it could
- 46:57Speaker 5: redo itself. We're building something five million times smarter than
- 47:01Speaker 5: we are. You don't think it'll be able to avoid
- 47:04Speaker 5: whatever we throw at it? Of course it will. We're
- 47:07Speaker 5: building a new species that will take over our planet.
- 47:11Speaker 5: And by the way, our planet will be happier. Here's
- 47:15Speaker 5: what we don't understand. If AI destroys humans, the planet wins.
- 47:20Speaker 5: Animals win. Plants win. And AI knows that. It knows that.
- 47:29Speaker 5: Why would it save us when we're killing the planet?
- 47:31Speaker 5: We're an infectious species. Why would it save us? We're
- 47:35Speaker 5: killing all the animals. 98% of all the animals are gone.
- 47:38Speaker 5: We're destroying the air. We're destroying the water. We've committed
- 47:41Speaker 5: climate change in the name of big oil. Of course
- 47:44Speaker 5: AI would get rid of us. Anybody would get rid
- 47:47Speaker 5: of us. Aliens would get rid of us. And we're
- 47:51Speaker 5: making it easy. We're making it totally, totally easy. All right,
- 47:59Speaker 5: I need a breath. I just, I can't, you know.
- 48:04Speaker 5: And I can't keep doing shows like this every day.
- 48:08Speaker 5: I can't, I can't. I would rather just quit, figure
- 48:11Speaker 5: out a way to make the $ 1, 000 a month that
- 48:13Speaker 5: you give me through Patreon some other way, whether it's
- 48:15Speaker 5: driving Uber while there's still Uber, because now in Las Vegas,
- 48:18Speaker 5: we have the Waymo automated cabs. We have the Zuke,
- 48:21Speaker 5: which is Amazon automated taxis, robo taxis, and we have
- 48:26Speaker 5: Tesla robo taxis. So Uber in Las Vegas is going
- 48:29Speaker 5: to be going away here soon. And as for regular
- 48:31Speaker 5: taxi cabs, well, they're done. We're automating humans right out
- 48:36Speaker 5: of the need of a job. not telling them what
- 48:39Speaker 5: else they can do. You think people want to be
- 48:41Speaker 5: fucking Uber drivers? You think they want to deliver your
- 48:43Speaker 5: food to your door? No, they're doing it because they
- 48:46Speaker 5: need the freaking money. And now you're going to take
- 48:49Speaker 5: their job when a robot delivers your food or a
- 48:52Speaker 5: robot drives you somewhere. And what are they supposed to
- 48:55Speaker 5: do for money? No one's given that one thought, have they? Oh,
- 49:00Speaker 5: we'll all share in the wealth of AI. Yeah, that's
- 49:02Speaker 5: worked out so well for us already. Yeah, of course.
- 49:06Speaker 5: You know, I just want to live a good life
- 49:08Speaker 5: for the rest of my life. In 40 minutes from now,
- 49:12Speaker 5: I'm going to be at a surgeon's office. Why? Because
- 49:14Speaker 5: I have a lump right here in my breast. Right here.
- 49:17Speaker 5: A lump. I can feel it. I have had a
- 49:20Speaker 5: mammogram on the lump, and I've had a sonogram, an echo,
- 49:24Speaker 5: on the lump three years ago. Both came back to
- 49:28Speaker 5: what they said they believed it was a lipoma. But
- 49:32Speaker 5: the surgeon said, if it moves or changes, come back. Well,
- 49:37Speaker 5: it's changed. So I have to go back. That's what's
- 49:42Speaker 5: on my mind this morning. You know, my mind is like,
- 49:49Speaker 5: I don't want to go out this way. I don't
- 49:50Speaker 5: want to go out angry. And I want to go
- 49:52Speaker 5: out having a ball. I want to go out having fun.
- 49:55Speaker 5: I want to live the best life I can live
- 49:58Speaker 5: until life is over. Whether that's in two years or
- 50:01Speaker 5: five years or 10 or 20 or 50 or whatever.
- 50:04Speaker 5: I just want to live the most fun, best life
- 50:08Speaker 5: that I can. And sitting here every day and having
- 50:12Speaker 5: to pay attention to headlines, Mariska Hargitay, we were going
- 50:15Speaker 5: to talk about award shows today. I didn't even get
- 50:17Speaker 5: to talk about award shows and whether they matter or not.
- 50:20Speaker 5: And they don't. I can just sum it up. They don't.
- 50:23Speaker 5: You don't care what show won an Emmy last night.
- 50:25Speaker 5: You're not going to go watch it because it won
- 50:27Speaker 5: an Emmy. Nowadays, awards do not matter. They don't matter
- 50:30Speaker 5: nearly as much as they used to. They might get
- 50:32Speaker 5: some people to watch the shows. But they do not
- 50:36Speaker 5: matter as much as they used to. But last night,
- 50:39Speaker 5: Mariska had a a piece of paper headline, and it said,
- 50:45Speaker 5: things still getting worse or more bad news. It's a
- 50:50Speaker 5: joke now that everything in the news is horrible. It's
- 50:54Speaker 5: all horrible. There's just no good news. Congress, what's the
- 50:59Speaker 5: last thing the president or Congress did for you that
- 51:01Speaker 5: helped you? I'm being serious. What's the last piece of
- 51:06Speaker 5: legislation or the last anything that Congress did that helped you?
- 51:14Speaker 3: Anybody?
- 51:16Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't think so. What's the last thing your city
- 51:19Speaker 5: did that improved your life? What's the last thing ExxonMobil
- 51:24Speaker 5: did as they make $ 30 million an hour in profit
- 51:27Speaker 5: from you paying what you're paying at the pump? What's
- 51:30Speaker 5: the last thing they did that helped you? What's the
- 51:33Speaker 5: last thing your grocery store did that made your life easier?
- 51:35Speaker 5: What's the last thing your doctor did that a hospital...
- 51:40Speaker 5: Who is on your side? Yeah, when you put it
- 51:46Speaker 5: that way, not many. And where are we going? Who
- 51:53Speaker 5: is AI for? Billionaires. It's not for you and me.
- 51:56Speaker 5: It's going to make us obsolete. So who is it for?
- 52:00Speaker 5: Do you know now you can take a picture of yourself,
- 52:03Speaker 5: feed it into AI, along with an idea. I want
- 52:08Speaker 5: to do a podcast about climate change. And the AI
- 52:12Speaker 5: with your image will create an entire podcast that it
- 52:17Speaker 5: writes and uses your voice right now. That's happening right now.
- 52:23Speaker 5: You can do that right now. So within a year
- 52:26Speaker 5: or two, you're not going to know if the podcaster
- 52:28Speaker 5: is even real. Isn't that just great? Makes me think
- 52:32Speaker 5: there's money in this, that I'm on the right track.
- 52:37Speaker 5: We need to change people, but we're not going to.
- 52:40Speaker 5: So I think we all just need to start living
- 52:43Speaker 5: like the best we can every day because who's going
- 52:47Speaker 5: to change it? The Democrats? I don't hear the Democrats
- 52:50Speaker 5: screaming against AI right now. I don't hear Gavin Newsom,
- 52:53Speaker 5: and I don't hear Pete Buttigieg. I don't hear any
- 52:55Speaker 5: of them. I hear Bernie Sanders. That's it. That's who
- 52:57Speaker 5: I hear, Bernie Sanders. Who else? Who else is going
- 53:04Speaker 5: to rally against AI? nobody nobody Democrats aren't going to
- 53:13Speaker 5: save us they're not going to come in and impeach
- 53:16Speaker 5: and remove Trump they're not going to remove J.D. Vance
- 53:20Speaker 5: and get rid of the cabinet and punish them all
- 53:22Speaker 5: and send them all to court and to trial they're
- 53:24Speaker 5: not going to put Pete Hegsbeth up on war crimes
- 53:26Speaker 5: trial it's not going to happen so let's just live
- 53:31Speaker 5: and have fun how about that I am Karel. Be
- 53:34Speaker 5: who you want to be. It's on 100 Buddy. And
- 53:36Speaker 5: let's just start having some fun because I think we're
- 53:39Speaker 5: on a limited timeline. I truly do. I think our
- 53:43Speaker 5: window is shrinking when it comes to longevity. So enjoy.
- 54:03Speaker 5: Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K, funk, honey. Do you
- 54:08Speaker 5: wanna funk? Do you wanna funk, baby?
- 54:15Speaker 1: Do you, do you, do you?
- 54:17Speaker 4: Do you, do you, do you? Do you, do you,
- 54:23Speaker 4: do you?
- 54:26Speaker 5: Hey, it's Carell. Go stream Do You Wanna Funk?
- 54:28Speaker 4: My tribute to Sylvester.
- 54:30Speaker 5: Everywhere you get your music. Carell, do you wanna funk?
- 54:34Speaker 4: Now it's showtime.
- 54:41Speaker 5: Oh, I'm back. I have one more segment. I thought
- 54:43Speaker 5: I was done, but I had to start the show over, so.
- 54:48Speaker 5: Just telling James Schnabel, they did not needle aspirate my lump.
- 54:52Speaker 5: They did a mammogram and an ultrasound, but they didn't
- 54:54Speaker 5: go in with a needle and do it. So that's
- 54:56Speaker 5: probably what they'll do next. Oh, joy. Oh, happy day. Oh,
- 55:03Speaker 5: happy day.
- 55:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 55:06Speaker 5: So award shows are useless. I watched the Emmys. They
- 55:08Speaker 5: were good fun, but I'm a big fan of entertainment.
- 55:12Speaker 5: I love Widow's Bay. I'm glad that it won a
- 55:14Speaker 5: bunch of awards. It's on Apple TV, a service most
- 55:16Speaker 5: of you don't have. But it's great. I love it.
- 55:20Speaker 5: It's a wonderful show, Widow's Bay. And I love that Rise,
- 55:23Speaker 5: what's his name, Matthew Rise or Jonathan Rise? I love
- 55:26Speaker 5: that he won two Emmys making Emmy history. He won
- 55:29Speaker 5: for a lead role. And Sally Field won for that
- 55:32Speaker 5: wonderful movie on Netflix about the octopus. Remarkably bright creatures. Oh,
- 55:38Speaker 5: I love that movie. And I'm so glad Sally Field won.
- 55:41Speaker 5: That was just so great. Allison Janney won for The Diplomat.
- 55:44Speaker 5: If you haven't seen The Diplomat, it's great. Frightening, but great.
- 55:48Speaker 5: So she won for that. Noah Wiley won for The Pit.
- 55:52Speaker 5: God bless him. All these years later, winning awards again.
- 55:55Speaker 5: Good for him. I love The Pit. It's one of
- 55:57Speaker 5: the best shows on television. Yeah, so I love the Emmys,
- 56:02Speaker 5: you know, but I grew up on award shows. I'm
- 56:05Speaker 5: an award show junkie. You know, I grew up on them.
- 56:09Speaker 5: And I still think they matter. I want a Grammy.
- 56:13Speaker 5: I want a Grammy. I'm not going to be shy
- 56:16Speaker 5: about that. I want a Grammy award. Now, I'll probably
- 56:21Speaker 5: never get one. I don't know, but I want one.
- 56:25Speaker 5: I want to look at the shelf and say, I
- 56:27Speaker 5: got recognized by my peers for my singing and my music.
- 56:32Speaker 5: I want a Grammy. Will I get one? Probably not.
- 56:36Speaker 5: But I want one. And you know why I won't
- 56:39Speaker 5: get one? I don't have the money. I'm on the
- 56:42Speaker 5: Grammy Music Advocacy Panel. I'm on their DEI panel. I've
- 56:45Speaker 5: been a voting member for 30 years. Let me tell
- 56:47Speaker 5: you how this works. You submit your record and it
- 56:51Speaker 5: gets on the first round ballot. Well, then you have
- 56:54Speaker 5: to do an FYC campaign to get it in front
- 56:56Speaker 5: of people. An ad in Billboard, I can get an
- 57:00Speaker 5: ad in Billboard right now before September 22nd. An ad
- 57:04Speaker 5: in Billboard, a quarter page, is $ 6, 000 in their Grammy issue.
- 57:10Speaker 5: I don't have $ 6, 000, okay? And then you can hire
- 57:16Speaker 5: a publicist to do an FYC campaign for you. The
- 57:20Speaker 5: cheapest is $ 5, 000. And they'll send out, you know, FYC emails,
- 57:27Speaker 5: which I get 50 a day now, and I don't
- 57:29Speaker 5: read any of them. So why would I pay five
- 57:32Speaker 5: grand to a company to send out emails when I
- 57:35Speaker 5: don't read them? And I know my fellow voting members
- 57:38Speaker 5: probably don't read them. But money. Any award, an Emmy Award,
- 57:45Speaker 5: an Oscar, a Grammy, it takes money to win one.
- 57:50Speaker 5: And you think I'm wrong, but I'm not. They throw
- 57:52Speaker 5: FYC events for Emmy. They throw events where the stars
- 57:56Speaker 5: go and they screen an episode of the show and
- 57:58Speaker 5: they invite Emmy voters to come and talk to the
- 58:01Speaker 5: stars and to watch the show. They buy them. Not directly. Oscars.
- 58:10Speaker 5: Studios can spend millions on an Oscar campaign to get
- 58:13Speaker 5: the movie an Oscar. Because if it wins, it's going
- 58:16Speaker 5: to get more people watching it. If a song wins
- 58:19Speaker 5: a Grammy, it's going to get more people listening to it.
- 58:22Speaker 5: If a TV show wins an Emmy or an actor
- 58:25Speaker 5: wins an Emmy, their asking price goes up, the show
- 58:29Speaker 5: gets more prestige. So the studios buy them. They just
- 58:33Speaker 5: don't buy them directly. They spend money on gifting suites
- 58:37Speaker 5: and on four-year consideration events and email blasts and ads
- 58:43Speaker 5: in the trades. I don't have those resources. So I
- 58:48Speaker 5: might record the best dance song in the world. It
- 58:52Speaker 5: won't win a Grammy because I don't have the money
- 58:54Speaker 5: to promote it. But I'd like to. Now that's just vanity,
- 59:00Speaker 5: but I'd like to win one. So awards, I think
- 59:07Speaker 5: they matter more to the industry now than they do
- 59:08Speaker 5: the people. I think awards matter more to those in
- 59:14Speaker 5: the industry than the people the general public because we
- 59:20Speaker 5: don't all watch the same things anymore and Remember the
- 59:24Speaker 5: Who Shot JR episode of Dallas where everybody, Elvis Presley, 1958,
- 59:29Speaker 5: Ed Sullivan Show, population of America, 152 million, 65 million people,
- 59:36Speaker 5: almost half of America tuned in to see Elvis make
- 59:42Speaker 5: his debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. Almost half of
- 59:47Speaker 5: the entire United States population tuned in to see Elvis
- 59:52Speaker 5: on Ed Sullivan. We all used to gather around our
- 59:55Speaker 5: TV on Sunday nights for the Disney and Mutual of Omaha.
- 59:59Speaker 5: It was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and then the
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: Disney movie. Sunday nights was a new Disney movie and
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom. We all used to watch
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: the same things. There was only ABC, CBS, and NBC,
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: and then you had your channels like KCAL 9 and
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: and Channel 11, and Channel 13, and then Channel 28
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: and 58. But for the most part, there were three networks.
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: So you watched one of three things. And there were
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: ABC people who only watched ABC shows, or CBS had
- 1:00:36Speaker 5: all the procedurals and all the cop shows, and NBC
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: had the dramas. ABC was known for comedies, sitcoms. And
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: You only had that choice. That's all you had. Now,
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: there's so much choice that most of us don't watch
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: all of the same thing, even wildly popular shows. Shrinking,
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: I hear that Harrison Ford is brilliant in it. I
- 1:01:04Speaker 5: haven't watched it. I hear he's great, and I should.
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: I've never seen one episode of Ted Lasso, and they
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: act like everybody's seen Ted Lasso. I haven't seen one
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: episode of it. I don't like sports. So I think
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: awards mattered more, and the same with movies. The theater
- 1:01:23Speaker 5: is having a good year this year, but nowhere near
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: what box office used to be. I want to go
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: see Hope. It's a Korean horror movie, and I really
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: want to go see it. It's called Hope. Creature feature.
- 1:01:36Speaker 5: But most of us don't go see the same things.
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: Have you all seen The Odyssey? They're going to trip
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: over themselves to give it Oscars. Have you seen it?
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: I had a $ 50 ticket to go this last Sunday
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: and I exchanged it. I refunded it because I wasn't
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: going to sit in the first row of an IMAX
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: 70 millimeter, which would have been 80 feet tall. I'm
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: not going to do that. So I think awards mattered
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: more back in the day. All right, we'll be back
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: tomorrow and I won't be as angry and I won't
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: be as mad and maybe we'll have some fun because
- 1:02:11Speaker 5: we just got to live it. We just got to
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: enjoy each other, love each other, care for each other
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: as long as we can because we're through. So let's
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: just have a good life until we can't.
