We are going to talk about that. 5 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.480 And streaming services they're ridiculous. We're going to talk about them, 6 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:23.039 and so much more.

President. Jimmy Carter turns one hundred today, the 12 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.600 oldest living president. No other presidents made it to one hundred. 13 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.399 Jimmy Carter has. They're having celebrations for him today in Georgia. 14 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.640 He's very weak, he's in hospice. His goal, his mission 15 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.880 to live a few more weeks to vote for Kamala Harris. 16 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.120 What a fabulous, fabulous mission that is. So we wish 17 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.079 him nothing but joyous and happy birthdays. October first in 18 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.319 Las Vegas is a solemn day. It is the day 19 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.359 the shooter went up in Mandalay Bay and laid out 20 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.560 at that delayed people out at that country festival, which 21 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.280 was completely horrible. I watched it live on television and 22 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.640 it was it was horrific. Not that a mass shooting, 23 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.120 you know. Oh well, can you name a mass shooting 24 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.480 that was fun? No? I cannot. So that was absolutely terrible. 25 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.760 That happened today, And today is Music Advocacy Day. This 26 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.239 is the day that around the country, Grammy members myself included, 27 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.680 meet with our representatives. In this afternoon, I'll be meeting 28 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.959 with the staff at Susie Lee's office, Representative Susie Lee, 29 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.480 to talk about matters that really matter to the music industry, 30 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.680 including AI and the fake Bill, which says that you 31 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.840 we want it to be law that you can't do 32 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.000 an image of someone their voice there, you know, make 33 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.599 a song with them without their permission using AI. You know, 34 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.479 because technically you could just create an AI hologram of 35 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.159 you know, Michael Jackson and put it on tour uh 36 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.879 And the technology is already there for that. So we'd 37 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.159 like that to be illegal unless the estate or the 38 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.919 person UH says okay, you can go ahead and do it. 39 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.520 And a couple other bills, Music Tourism bill to bring 40 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.360 music tourism into your area and my area. We all 41 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.280 have areas rich in musical history. We'd like for music 42 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.439 tourism to be a thing, and it already is a thing. 43 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.080 We'd like it to be recognized as a thing. And 44 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.680 a ticket bill to take away all the ridiculousness in 45 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.039 buying tickets and just one price. What you see is 46 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.560 what you get. That's that. So we're gonna go and 47 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.919 rally because you know what you gotta go down. You 48 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.560 gotta show up. You have to go and meet your lawmakers. 49 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.719 I was telling the gut the upstro I said, you know, 50 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.400 you could call and make an appointment. It's like, that's 51 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.960 how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to go talk 52 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.879 to your lawmakers in your district about what's important to you. 53 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.400 I bet ninety nine percent of you listening to me 54 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.759 have never gone and talked to your lawmakers ever, and 55 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.000 yet you can. That's part of what they have to do. 56 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.560 They have to have an office in their constituency to 57 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:28.199 meet with constituents. That's you, that's me. So start arranging 58 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.400 meetings and tell them what's on your mind. All right, 59 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.599 So a couple of things. You know, yesterday people are 60 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.599 saying my show should have been longer because I did 61 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.800 go off on how we have been edging, dumbed down 62 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:46.000 and not knowledged up and that stupid is all around us. 63 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.960 And there's a couple more things I found and I 64 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.280 loved your comments at YouTube dot com forward slash really 65 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.039 correl or at patreon dot com forward slash really correll, 66 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.759 where my beloved patrons wor at about eight hundred and 67 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.800 six three dollars a month right now. I'd love to 68 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.400 get that up to thirteen hundred. So if you can 69 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.280 spare some money, it's Patreon dot com forward slash really correl. 70 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.400 Which is odd that I ask about that because I'm 71 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.719 going I'm the streaming services have got me pissed off. 72 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:21.000 But first, let's talk about plastic. Plastic is everywhere. It's 73 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.319 in our agriculture, it's in our bodies. We're finding it 74 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:29.120 in our brains. It is polluting our ocean. Plastic is 75 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.839 bad and one of the biggest culprits plastic grocery bags. 76 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.879 They're absolutely horrifying. The reusable ones are even worse because 77 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.560 people keep those in stockpile. Fifty or one hundred of them, 78 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.199 and then they got to do something with them. How 79 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.160 many of you have like twenty or thirty reusable plastic 80 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.600 bags from a store like Sprouts or something, and you 81 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.680 don't know what to do with them, so you end 82 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.399 up throwing them in the recycle bin. So, plastic bags 83 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.199 are terrible. They're absolutely horrible. And I've never understood why 84 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.160 you shouldn't have to bring a bag to the grocery 85 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.079 store for your grocery I've never understood this. Uh So, 86 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.319 in California, Gavin Newsom just said no more, no more 87 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.800 plastic grocery bags. You would have thought that he'd started 88 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.000 eating dead fetuses on the Capitol building, you know, on 89 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.480 the steps, because people have lost their minds. You know, 90 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.879 like a plastic bag is in some way your American right. 91 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.879 You have a right to a plastic bag, No, you 92 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.800 freakin don't. They're bad for the environment. They should have 93 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.319 never been put into widespread What was wrong with paper? 94 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.360 Oh it breaks? Well, then bring a cloth bag, buy 95 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.879 a fuck frigging couple grocery bags. Cloth will always forget 96 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.079 him in the car. Well, that's your freaking fault. Then 97 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.959 carry your groceries in your arms. You know, I mean 98 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.319 get a box whatever, like Costco. You know, Costco is 99 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.160 one of the biggest, biggest stores around. No plastic bags, okay, none, 100 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.800 never had them. They used the box is from the 101 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.759 items that they have in the store, and somehow they 102 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.720 manage to do business and sell a lot of products 103 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:12.560 without plastic bags. Who'd have known. So it is stupid 104 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.759 for anyone to be going after Gavin Newsom because he 105 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.759 banned plastic bags. That's what I was talking about yesterday. 106 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:24.199 Smart people have to simply start making the choices for 107 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.240 the idiots. And no one wants that except Maga. They 108 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:33.959 want their dictator Trump to make all their decisions. But liberals, progressives, 109 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.759 we've got to let smart people start making more decisions 110 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.839 because dumb people are ruling. The next thing that should 111 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.680 be banned plastic water bottles. You don't need a plastic 112 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.160 water bottle. If you want to buy water, bring your 113 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.519 own container, and it shouldn't be plastic. There. I see 114 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.480 these people with cases of water bottles and I just 115 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.600 think those are going right in the ocean. That's just stupid. 116 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.839 It is stupid to sell water in a bottle that 117 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.759 is plastic. Go back to glass, come up with another bottle. 118 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:16.319 Something that decomposes whatever, be smarter than the plastic. But no, 119 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.720 plastic is made out of petroleum, so the petroleum industry 120 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.439 wants you to keep using all that plastic. No, it's 121 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.079 dumb that anyone would attack Gavin Newsom for banning plastic bags. 122 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:35.319 They should be banned nationally tomorrow. So should plastic water bottles. 123 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.720 Make water bottles out of something else better. Yet, bring 124 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.839 your own reusable containers. But it's like in the store, 125 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.040 packaging is another thing that should just be done away with. 126 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.920 You want some macaroni, bring something to put it in. 127 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.319 This notion that everything should be in a box or 128 00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:00.360 a bag, or it's so ridiculous, it's stupid, say with 129 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.160 me from yesterday. That's just stupid. You know what else? 130 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.879 And welcome to the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward 131 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.199 slash Really Carrel, I am in the chat room right 132 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:16.120 now looking at comments. Hi mister Chris who asked if 133 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.639 I went to the rally on Sunday. No, I did 134 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.639 not go inside the rally on Sunday, but I did 135 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.680 go play my song on the outside of the rally, 136 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.040 and I was hoping someone from inside would tell me 137 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.439 if it played like it was supposed to. But we'll see. 138 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.759 We find out today some sort of timeline for the song, 139 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.000 but we'll see if that even happens. The campaign has 140 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.879 been really farting us around on the song, but whatever, 141 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.559 I'm not bitter. It's not common of it's doing it. 142 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.159 It's the people around her. I'm not even sure she's 143 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.039 heard it yet. But so yesterday I was watching Hulu 144 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.440 and the ads were about to drive me fricking crazy. 145 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.320 And then I get a notice that Hulu is going 146 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.440 from seven ninety nine to nine ninety nine with ads, 147 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.720 and if you don't want to add it's eighteen ninety nine. 148 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:08.000 Amazon Prime has now got ads in their videos. Netflix 149 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.159 now has ads. So let me get this right. Streaming services, 150 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.960 you became really popular because we wanted to cut the 151 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.360 cable get away from cable television watch what we want 152 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.600 when we want to watch it without ads, and we 153 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.000 were willing to pay for that. But now, without even 154 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.519 asking us, you've put ads back in. So I ask 155 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.720 each and every one of you, why don't we all 156 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.879 go back to cable with a TiVo, because at least 157 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.399 then we can record what we want to watch and 158 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.240 skip the ads. Now, look, I know that we need 159 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.039 advertising to make commercial things go. I get that, I understand, 160 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.639 But when you pay a large fee, not a little fee, 161 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.159 It's like we're being charged a dollar ninety nine for Hulu, 162 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.200 ten dollars a month, one hundred and twenty dollars a year, 163 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519 and then you've still got ads. You add in a 164 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.799 few other services and you're right back to the car. 165 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.279 So now most of us are paying more for streaming 166 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:14.440 than we were for cable, and we're watching ads again. Boy, 167 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.840 what a great gimmick for them. They're on track to 168 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.879 make a billion dollars off of their advertising on streaming services, 169 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:27.080 a billion while they rake you for ten ninety nine, 170 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.519 twelve ninety nine, fourteen. Apple is going up, I think 171 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.840 to forty plus dollars for Apple TV Plus and all 172 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.399 of their other services. Just Apple TV Plus I think 173 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.960 is going up to like fifty earth would they say 174 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.519 one hundred a year or two one ninety nine year? 175 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.840 I forget, but it's going up. They're all going up. 176 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.840 And yet they just throw away money. Willy nilly, let's 177 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.679 spend money. They spend money on these horrifying projects. They 178 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.840 throw twenty million at Shonda Rhymes and fifteen million at 179 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.519 Ryan Murphy and one hundred million at this and blah 180 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.399 blah blah that. Oh but they're broken. They got to 181 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.919 charge you more money and put in ads. Why not 182 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.240 go back to cable with a tvo TiVo still exists. 183 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.679 Why not just go back record? You know, because like 184 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.919 people watch a lot of their shows now on Hulu 185 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.960 or Paramount Plus or Peacock, Well why not just record 186 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.399 them off of NBC or ABC or CBS or TNT 187 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.879 or Fax or whatever, off of your cable package onto 188 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.120 a t VO and then just fast forward. Why pay anymore? 189 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.559 We don't get to watch what we want, when we 190 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.759 want it, not without ads, not unless we pay a fortune. 191 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.360 Streaming has become stupid. It is stupid to pay for streaming. 192 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.440 It's just dumb. And so I barely do. I barely do. 193 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.879 I get some through the press. I'm on Steve's Netflix, 194 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.480 I'm on the Late Daniel Charleston's HBO Paramount Plus. I 195 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.919 get free because I'm in the media. Peacock. I do 196 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:02.960 pay for five ninety nine watch ads and Hulu. I 197 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.519 only paid for for three months to watch three shows, 198 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.600 and then I'm gonna cancel it. I don't have the 199 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.080 money for all the streaming, but be I just refuse 200 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.799 to pay them and have ads. I know there's ads 201 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.799 in my show for you patrons, there's not live. If 202 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.720 you patrons watch the show live, there's no ads. Otherwise 203 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.799 I'd make zero off the show, like nothing. So patrons, 204 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.360 I try to make it up to you in other 205 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.720 ways with calls, exclusive content, you know, discounts if I 206 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.120 ever get back out on the road, discounts to tickets, 207 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.679 all that kind of stuff. These other services they don't 208 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.799 try to do anything special for you. Guys, just take 209 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.679 your money and then make you watch ads. And the ads. 210 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.639 Oh my god, they're driving me crazy. They're all political ads, 211 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.440 and they're all horrible. They're every one of them is horrible. 212 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.679 Trump ads are horrible, even Kamala's ads. I am just 213 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.440 so tired of hearing it. All. My mind is made up. 214 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.799 I don't need to see these ads. Oh my god. Okay, 215 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.159 let's see. Streaming services are now ridiculous. We pay a 216 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.279 streaming service to watch their shows, they now service ads. 217 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.200 TiVo and Cable were, in fact better. They were. It 218 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.600 was better. We watched what we wanted to when we 219 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.639 wanted and we fast forwarded through the ads. So why 220 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.159 don't we go back because the major services don't want 221 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.240 us to. If I were a cable company, I would 222 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.559 come on with a one hundred dollars a month everything, 223 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.720 all broadcast channels, HBO send all of it, just everything, 224 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.200 Hulu all included hundred bucks a month. They'd sell it all, right, 225 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.519 cav Let's see, Verizon went down yesterday for millions and 226 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.000 millions of people and they had no phone service. And 227 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.080 that's just stupid. Why don't we have stay it with me? 228 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.000 That's just stupid. Why don't phone services have satellite backup? 229 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.600 More importantly, why don't all of our phones have satellite backup? 230 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.879 We rich people do? People in Ashville, North Carolina are 231 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.399 acting like they are on Mars. There are mules bringing 232 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.399 in supplies. Why aren't there drones bringing in supplies? I 233 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.159 hear all about drones. Where's the drones bringing in supplies 234 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.480 to remote areas? Why are they using mules? People still 235 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.639 can't reach people because cell service is down. Yesterday Verizon 236 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:19.240 went down. These companies have zero backup, zero redundancy. If 237 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.679 one thing goes wrong, that's it. Well, that's dumb, that's 238 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:29.399 just stupid. Every cell phone company should have satellite backup. 239 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.519 If their cell service goes down, your cell phone should 240 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.480 switch to satellite and you're still able to make calls, 241 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.799 not just if you're risk. When we come back Cafe 242 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.240 best Field in San Francisco, it's the harbinger of dooms 243 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.399 for most restaurants, and we will tell you why. Although 244 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.159 that's the big date in walls hurts. Maybe then then 245 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.000 be wearing a much eyeliner and masacerra if I web yesterday, probably, 246 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.759 but we'll talk Abay Carrel here And I'd like to 247 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.200 take a moment to thank all the patrons of Patrio on. 248 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.440 Your support means the absolute world to me and the show. 249 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.000 If you'd like to show your support for the crazy 250 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.919 endeavors of the Corel Cast, then please go to Patreon 251 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.960 dot com forward slash really Corell.

And let's keep the 264 00:15:52.960 --> 00:16:10.200 party going as long as we can. We're not going back. 265 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.360 We're not giving in. We are going to fight, cause 266 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.879 when we fight, we win. Oh, you know the whole 267 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.000 plastic bag thing. That's what I said yesterday. You know, 268 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.919 we know what's right, we know what's best. There are 269 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.960 smart people who know, but they refuse to implement things 270 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.639 like Gavin. You know he doesn't. He's not afraid to. 271 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.919 They're afraid to implement things like Gavin because they're afraid 272 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.240 they'll be taken over the coals. Like Davin is California 273 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.919 should rejoice that he's getting rid of plastic bags. Instead, 274 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:42.639 they're all up in Oh it's some sort of god 275 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.559 given right to have a plastic bag at a grocery store. No, 276 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.559 I don't even use their cart. I have a wagon. 277 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.720 Why don't you, Why don't you have a cart for 278 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.600 groceries of your own? And now they have these carts 279 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.080 that have crates and you just put all your groceries 280 00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.559 in there and then when you get in the car, 281 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.320 you just you just transfer the crate. You don't even 282 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.680 need a bag. I mean, we can't be smarter, of 283 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:11.559 course we can. God, So Cafe Bestille in San Francisco 284 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.200 is closing the end of an era. It was a 285 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.640 little alley. I've been there actually, and it was a 286 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.440 great restaurant. A little overpriced, but you know, and they're closing. 287 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:28.759 And here in Nevada, the gay hotel called Bent in 288 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.960 downtown just opened eight months ago, closing. And they're all 289 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.440 citing the economy. They're saying, you know, we're just not 290 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:39.559 getting the business. You know, they're blaming a lot of things. 291 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.720 But I have to tell you there are two things 292 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.480 that have killed a lot of restaurants. Two things. First, 293 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.799 the pandemic. The pandemic changed the way that we eat. 294 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.759 Most of us couldn't go eat out. The restaurants were closed, 295 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.880 and we got in a habit of either ordering food 296 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.920 in which I refuse to do. Talk about stupid grub 297 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.880 Hub and all of them. You have a twenty five 298 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.279 dollars bill that ends up being forty dollars. That's just stupid. 299 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.480 Don't use them. Don't use grub hub or door dash 300 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.119 or any of them. And restaurants should go back to 301 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.400 delivering their food themselves period they'd sell more. See that's 302 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.799 the other thing. Restaurants outsource their deliveries to grub hub, 303 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.359 door dash and all of that, and now we don't 304 00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.400 want to use those places because they're costing us too 305 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.880 much money, so we're not buying from the restaurant, and 306 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.119 the restaurant's blaming you and I or whatever. It's ridiculous. 307 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.000 Go back to delivering your own food and you'll have 308 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.480 a lot more orders. Hire some eighteen year old, you know, 309 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:47.240 paying fifteen bucks an hour to deliver your food. So 310 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.680 the two things the pandemic changed the way that we eat. 311 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:52.880 It just did. We couldn't go out for almost two 312 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:58.319 years to restaurants, and drive throughs remained big because we 313 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:03.519 could drive through, but sit down restaurants Nope. And then 314 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.079 when they did come back after the pandemic, their entree 315 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.000 prices were double or triple, and they blamed supply chain 316 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.319 and labor cost and blah blah blah. But the fact 317 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.799 is lunch went from ten bucks to twenty to twenty 318 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.200 five bucks, and dinners went from twenty to twenty five 319 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.640 bucks to fifty to seventy five bucks. And you and 320 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.119 I don't have that at least not as much as 321 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.200 we used to. We may go out to lunch once 322 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.559 a week whereas we went out four times a week before. 323 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.559 We may go to dinner once a month whereas we 324 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.599 went out a couple times a month. We're not going 325 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:45.319 out to eat because it's just too expensive, and so 326 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:50.559 restaurants are closing, including vegan ones, especially vegan ones, and 327 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:56.519 they're blaming inflation. But it's not inflation. First of all, 328 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.480 it's we changed the way that we eat. Of all, 329 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:05.079 they more than doubled and tripled their prices. That's not inflation. 330 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.359 That's greed. And if you say it's the cost of 331 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.720 doing business, well that means that's your cost of doing 332 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.720 business is too high. You got to lower it. You know, 333 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.559 there's a place here called Salad to Go just opened, 334 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.079 and they're all over now and you can drive through 335 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.400 and you can get a salad, a delicious salad, and 336 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.079 a drink for ten bucks. There is always a line 337 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.359 from the moment they opened. There's a line because ten 338 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:35.160 bucks for lunch is doable, So people drive through in 339 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.839 the mornings and get their When I'm at the park 340 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.599 at eight in the morning, Salad to Go has a 341 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.119 line people driving through to get their lunches because a 342 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:46.640 ten buck lunch is doable. That very same salad at 343 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.480 a sit down restaurant, twenty bucks, the very same one 344 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.039 with pecans and raspberries and this and Brussels sprouts from 345 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.599 that twenty bucks at a sit down restaurant, ten bucks 346 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:02.200 at Salad to God to go. Well, last sit down 347 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.480 restaurants won't. And so it's really just if they can't 348 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.599 afford to get entrees at the price that we can pay, 349 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:17.000 then of course they're gonna close. And so either there 350 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.920 were too many restaurants before or before the pandemic, or 351 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.599 we are just now more frugal. So are very much 352 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.240 like your comments below at YouTube dot com forward slash 353 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:31.519 really correl or at patreon dot com forward slash really correl. 354 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.240 How many times a month do you eat out now? 355 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.079 How many times versus how many times did you eat 356 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.720 out before the pandemic.

And are 363 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.559 you cooking? Is there this cooking resurgence now because if 364 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.440 we're not eating at restaurants, we're eating at home? Or 365 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.440 are you eating? Drive through have more and even they've 366 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.200 gone way up, but have more and more people switched 367 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.559 to drive through because at least they're a little cheaper. 368 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.799 So I'd love to hear from you. Why do you 369 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.480 feel restaurants are closing at record rates? I think it's 370 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:31.000 two things. Are eating habits changed during the pandemic, and 371 00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:34.200 then when we came back from the pandemic, the price 372 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:39.759 is tripled, just like overnight. My one of my favorite 373 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.640 Thai restaurants I love, I love Number nine Tie. I 374 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.799 used to go there for lunch once a week and 375 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.759 I would get vegan Ladna, which I love, vegan laudna 376 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.920 and a mixed vegetable dish, which was two entrees, but 377 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.200 they were each eleven dollars, so I got twenty two 378 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.720 bucks plus tips of twenty five dollars. Now those entrees 379 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:03.240 are sixteen ninety five each, so it would be forty bucks. 380 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.519 So I don't go anymore. I just they went up 381 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.200 from eleven ninety five to sixteen ninety five. That's ten dollars, 382 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.079 you know, and so I just I can't do it. 383 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.039 I go to cheaper places, my lazies. Indian Cuisine still 384 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.640 has their vegan lunch for nineteen dollars and it's enough 385 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.319 to have for lunch and dinner, and that's all in 386 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.440 nineteen with a samosa and pecoras and some soup and 387 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:31.000 two entrees and rice. So I go there because it's 388 00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.839 under twenty bucks. How about you, how many times before 389 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.680 the pandemic did you eat out versus now? And are 390 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.039 you thinking it's is it the cost that is preventing you? 391 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.839 I'd love to hear that. I'd love to hear from you. 392 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.279 All Right, we got a lot. I have to write 393 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.359 it down because everyone's like, you write out your shows 394 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.000 and then you don't get to everything, and they're right. 395 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.000 I go off on tangents and all of that. So 396 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:02.000 and and we're going to pictures today for Music Advocacy Day. 397 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.880 So tomorrow I will show you guys photos of me 398 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.799 and Angela Windbush, me and Chris Cox, the multi platinum 399 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.759 DJ producer. Oh yeah, so you'll see all that tomorrow. 400 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.039 And this I'll be changing. I will not be wearing this. 401 00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:21.079
