Speaker 1: Oh what night. Oh my god, the Obama's deliver a
Speaker 1: one to two punch at the DNC and knock out
Speaker 1: the room. We'll be talking about that. Also, Obama said
Speaker 1: something about social media that I want to talk about today,
Speaker 1: and should you kill your dog when you die? Uncensored, unfiltered,
Speaker 1: un hinged. It's the cuell Cast. Listen daily on your
Speaker 1: favorite streaming service. It is the cREL Cast. I am Corel,
Speaker 1: so very glad that you are joining me on this Wednesday,
Speaker 1: August twenty First, oh, what a night back in August
Speaker 1: at the DNC. What a very special time for me.
Speaker 1: Obama's killed it. What a night? Oh yes, honey, it
Speaker 1: was a night. Uh. First of all, I could not
Speaker 1: have been happy. Patti de Belle. Can we just talk
Speaker 1: about Pattle de bell being paddlea bell at eighty years
Speaker 1: old coming out there and singing, you are my friend,
Speaker 1: dada And she did her hand there. Dear dear, dear
Speaker 1: deal dall. Oh, patty girl, I mean we're luck. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't roll on the floor because she is so known
Speaker 1: for that. For those of you who didn't see that,
Speaker 1: go watch it on the web. It happened at about
Speaker 1: four thirty our Times, seven thirty East Coast. Uh. Then
Speaker 1: they had a lot of speakers, a lot of raw, raw,
Speaker 1: a lot of the roll call was fabulous, done down
Speaker 1: for what they had a party, honey. And then Michelle Obama,
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama. She looked fabulous. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, she looked fabulous. Her speech was just just
Speaker 1: on the mark. Uh. And I'd have voted for her
Speaker 1: for president right then and there. I'd have been like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: President Michelle Obama, you got it. I mean she could win.
Speaker 1: That woman. Oh what a speaker, What a speaker, What
Speaker 1: a woman. Uh. And in her speech, she laid it out.
Speaker 1: First of all, she she brought up the whole race
Speaker 1: issue because somebody should. I mean, we're not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the fact that America is still kind of racist.
Speaker 1: Well she did. Oh and she talked about the lies
Speaker 1: they're gonna tell about Kamala and Tim. She said, you
Speaker 1: know what, now that they're out there, you know, and
Speaker 1: and this is what the other side is gonna do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell truth speak Charles. They're gonna try to
Speaker 1: tell lies. They're gonna not be able to speak their
Speaker 1: truth because their truth is going to be all filtered
Speaker 1: by the MAGA headphones, and so we got to be sure.
Speaker 1: We got to act up. We got to do something.
Speaker 1: As she said, when we hear those lies, we can't
Speaker 1: let those lies go by because they're gonna lie. She
Speaker 1: said it, Michelle said it. They're gonna lie. They're gonna
Speaker 1: try to cheat, they're gonna try to steal. She's like,
Speaker 1: this ain't no easy fight. Oh y'all be row ron
Speaker 1: right now and having a good time, and Kamala's out
Speaker 1: having filled stadiums and Tim's out and it's all fabulous.
Speaker 1: She said, uh uh no, no, no, She said, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be an uphill battle people, and even if
Speaker 1: they win, they still gonna try to say that they lost.
Speaker 1: Oh honey, Michelle laid it out and laid out everybody
Speaker 1: in the room, laid them all out. Michelle was taking names,
Speaker 1: had receipts. You couldn't argue with the thing. That woman's it. Now,
Speaker 1: some Democrats are pissed off because Michelle did not pay
Speaker 1: a huge homage to Joe Biden. Well what if Michelle
Speaker 1: doesn't really care for Joe Biden? What if she thinks,
Speaker 1: you know, why is it if you're a Democrat and
Speaker 1: you're a high ranking Demo crat that you have to
Speaker 1: fall over yourself and wet the bed to praise Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I like Joe Biden. He's done a great job as president.
Speaker 1: He was great, as he's been a great politician his
Speaker 1: whole life. He has. But I never had dinner with him.
Speaker 1: I never been behind the scenes with him. Michelle has
Speaker 1: you know, do Michelle and Joe get along? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But is it her responsibility to praise Joe Biden when
Speaker 1: she's there to launch Kamala Harris? Now, you know what
Speaker 1: the beauty of our country is you can support whoever
Speaker 1: you want to support, and not support who you don't
Speaker 1: want to support. And if Michelle Obama didn't feel like
Speaker 1: wetting her pants over Joe Biden, which he may have
Speaker 1: been doing backstage, then you know what, she don't have
Speaker 1: to She don't have to what it was disrespectful. This
Speaker 1: was supposed to be his convention. Well it ain't and
Speaker 1: it never was supposed to be. When that man came
Speaker 1: into office, he said he was going to be a
Speaker 1: trend additional president and then would pass the torch. And
Speaker 1: suddenly he decides to run for reelection that time, Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: And while I am grateful to him for what he's done,
Speaker 1: I am thankful to him for what he's done, I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna fall over myself to praise him. He did
Speaker 1: his job, and he did it well. There's the praise
Speaker 1: right there. I just did it. He did his job,
Speaker 1: he did it well. I don't have to really say
Speaker 1: much more about it. He did his job, he did
Speaker 1: it well. What more you want me to say? The
Speaker 1: same with Michelle Obama. She ain't got to go out
Speaker 1: there and praise every Democrat, you know. She was there
Speaker 1: to do a job, and she did it. She fired up,
Speaker 1: She got them fired up, fired up, she got them saw,
Speaker 1: she got them fired up, and she told them you
Speaker 1: got to do something. You got to go make phone calls.
Speaker 1: You gotta go canvas. You cannot just sit around and think, oh,
Speaker 1: voting is enough. Uh. Even Obama said, don't boo vote, honey.
Speaker 1: This is an uphill battle. And Michelle knows it, and
Speaker 1: she gave it to us. And then came her husband
Speaker 1: and as he said, I'm the only fool they could
Speaker 1: get to speak after Michelle Obama because I thought that
Speaker 1: I thought I am a brilliant speaker. I would not
Speaker 1: want to speak after her. Oh hell no, because she
Speaker 1: got him. Honey, she got him, she got me, she
Speaker 1: got everybody. But out came Barack, the elder statesman. Who
Speaker 1: Barack is young. You know, he was a young president
Speaker 1: and now he's being called the elder statesman in a
Speaker 1: party that had an eighty one year old nominee. Barack's
Speaker 1: the elder statesman. Okay, whatever. So he came out and
Speaker 1: gave a long speech like forty five minutes. Loved it,
Speaker 1: loved every minute of it. He is one of the
Speaker 1: greatest oratorists in smartin Luther King Junior. He is a
Speaker 1: brilliant public speaker. He is in gate. Well, that's why
Speaker 1: he was president. I mean, he's talking to you. And
Speaker 1: one of the things he said that really struck home
Speaker 1: for me is from the moment Donald Trump descended his
Speaker 1: solid gold staircase. Everything has been about Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: his supporters are too weird and too stupid to understand
Speaker 1: that that man doesn't care about anybody but himself. Even
Speaker 1: in this election, everything's been about him, As Obama says,
Speaker 1: his strange obsession with crowd sizes. You know, it's all
Speaker 1: about him. Nowhere in Trump's platform are the American people. Nowhere,
Speaker 1: It's all about Trump. I lost the election. I was robbed.
Speaker 1: I this I that I'm prettier than Kamala Harris. I
Speaker 1: get more people at my events. Me me, me, I
Speaker 1: was shot. No, he wasn't me, me, me, Not one
Speaker 1: thing about you or me, because you don't care. He's
Speaker 1: an sociopathic, narcissist, diaper weton idiot, and you don't care
Speaker 1: about you. And Obama made that very clear. He's all
Speaker 1: this man does not care about you. He cares about himself.
Speaker 1: This election is about him, not about you or me.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has made this election about him, him rising
Speaker 1: to power, what he wants to do first day for himself,
Speaker 1: go after his political enemies, reward his billionaire friends. Nowhere
Speaker 1: in his platform. And and oh honey, did you hear
Speaker 1: the speaker that used to work for Trump who said
Speaker 1: he calls his followers basement dwellers. They are, but who
Speaker 1: knew that he saw it that way? He makes fun,
Speaker 1: mocks and degrades his own followers because he may be
Speaker 1: a narcissistic sociopath, but even he knows that they're freaking weird,
Speaker 1: and so he calls them basement dwellers, all kinds of things. Oh,
Speaker 1: President Obama, he took me there. He made me miss him,
Speaker 1: He made me miss Michelle. He made me miss there
Speaker 1: eight years their era. He was powerful, He rallied the crowd.
Speaker 1: No one can rally the crowd like President Obama. He
Speaker 1: was fabulous. And so many things that he said ring
Speaker 1: true about grace. You know, I try. I wanted to
Speaker 1: disagree with him. I did. I thought, Ah, this is
Speaker 1: the Democrats problem. They tell us we gotta like the
Speaker 1: other side. They tell us that we have to extend
Speaker 1: these people courtesies that you know, they haven't caught up yet,
Speaker 1: that they what He's still in his brain, he still
Speaker 1: doesn't understand. They don't want to catch up. They don't
Speaker 1: want grace, they don't want to be treated well. They're
Speaker 1: at war and to them, we're the enemy, and they
Speaker 1: don't want to get along, and they don't want to
Speaker 1: live next to us. Obama talked about the fact that
Speaker 1: in America, you can agree disagree politically, but you can
Speaker 1: still understand that we all got to live here together,
Speaker 1: and that what's good for your neighbor is good for you.
Speaker 1: If your neighbors kids have health care, that's good for
Speaker 1: you because if they get sick, you're not going to
Speaker 1: get sick. If your neighbor is flourishing financially, that's good
Speaker 1: for you because the neighborhood, you know, stays nice and
Speaker 1: because they're able to maintain their house. And you know,
Speaker 1: so someone else doing well is actually good for you. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's okay for Democrats to think that, but the GOP don't.
Speaker 1: You know, the GOP doesn't care if their neighbors are
Speaker 1: doing well. They want to live somewhere with no neighbors. Okay,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk doesn't want neighbors, you know, George Soros, all
Speaker 1: of them. None of the billionaires, the thousand plus billionaires
Speaker 1: in the United States, which Obama talked about the wealthy
Speaker 1: was odd because he is wealthy. But they tell you know,
Speaker 1: he talked about the wealthy and how they're not your friend.
Speaker 1: They don't want democracy, they want autocracy. They want someone
Speaker 1: to give them what they want, and that's Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And what Obama pointed out is when Donald Trump speaks,
Speaker 1: he speaks to a group of a thousand people, the billionaires.
Speaker 1: That's who his constituents are. That's who he cares about.
Speaker 1: That's the rules that he's gonna make. Oh lord, was
Speaker 1: it a one to two punch, honey, and knocked us
Speaker 1: all out? Knocked us all out. It's a shame. Kamala
Speaker 1: wasn't there to hear it. She was off in Wisconsin
Speaker 1: doing a rally at the same place Trump got his
Speaker 1: nomination and she filled the place. But they both said
Speaker 1: the same thing. We gotta vote, we gotta fight, we
Speaker 1: gotta keep this energy going for seventy seven days, and
Speaker 1: we'll try to get the song out for you Monday
Speaker 1: or Tuesday. If THEA records at Thursday, let's hope. I've
Speaker 1: heard the tracks now. The tracks are great. Just waiting
Speaker 1: for THEA to record. We're not going back. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get that out. That's gonna be my part to help
Speaker 1: keep up the momentum. A great song written by me,
Speaker 1: sung by a million selling artist, THEA Austin. You know
Speaker 1: that that is gonna be one of the ways that
Speaker 1: I contribute. How are you gonna contribute? What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do to make sure Kamala wins. Yes, you're gonna vote,
Speaker 1: But what else you're gonna do? You're gonna go down
Speaker 1: and volunteer and get on the phone. You're gonna write
Speaker 1: some postcards, You're gonna go knock on doors. Well, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a million reasons down below in the
Speaker 1: comments why you can't do any of that. You will,
Speaker 1: You'll have a million reasons down there of why you
Speaker 1: can't do any of that. But guess what we all
Speaker 1: have to I am I've already contacted my place here
Speaker 1: in Nevada, the Democratic National Committee here in Nevada. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be writing postcards and I'm gonna go watch the
Speaker 1: Kamalist speech tomorrow night at their office is and the
Speaker 1: hour before that we watch it. They said, bring a
Speaker 1: laptop because they want you to do some work. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pitch in. I'm gonna try to do more
Speaker 1: than just talk about it. I'm gonna do what Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama said, I'm gonna do something. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Michelle said, you got to do something other than vote.
Speaker 1: Have you talked to all your family members and friends
Speaker 1: and make sure they have a voting plan, make sure
Speaker 1: they're registered to vote, make sure they can get to
Speaker 1: the polls or their requested a mail in ballot, Do
Speaker 1: you know, have you talked to all your friends about
Speaker 1: their voting plans? Have you? You got to We can't
Speaker 1: take it for granted because she has to win. Every
Speaker 1: day more horror comes out about what they will do
Speaker 1: if they win. She has to win. And that's what
Speaker 1: Michelle said. Look, Tim and Kamala are human. They gonna
Speaker 1: make mistakes. But don't start wringing your hand and saying, oh,
Speaker 1: did we make the wrong choice? Oh are they gonna wear?
Speaker 1: Uh uh? Because no matter what, no matter what mistakes
Speaker 1: they make or have made, they are the only choice
Speaker 1: at this point to put in the White House. So
Speaker 1: don't be hand ranging. Instead of handwranging, do something. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna repeat what she said, Do something, all right?
Speaker 1: President Obama made a statement last night that was so
Speaker 1: profound to me. I wrote it down and it has
Speaker 1: changed my entire outlook on something. I'm going to share
Speaker 1: with you what that is when we come back. Also,
Speaker 1: if you die and you have a dog and you
Speaker 1: want it buried with me, should the family respect that wish?
Speaker 1: We aren to talk about that as it in the
Speaker 1: news today about the French star who died and wants
Speaker 1: his dog buried with it. Hey Grell here, and I'd

Speaker 1: his little dog. And let's keep the party going as
Speaker 1: long as we can. Sometimes you hear something so profound
Speaker 1: and it just resonates with you so much that you
Speaker 1: have to write it down. And I did that last night.
Speaker 1: When President Obama said a very poignant line. It was
Speaker 1: just part of a larger sentence. It wasn't like, you
Speaker 1: know something, he drove home again and again. But boy,
Speaker 1: oh my god, did it stick with me and it
Speaker 1: fits right into my life right now because okay, so
Speaker 1: let's be real. Yesterday afternoon I had a major depression.
Speaker 1: I mean to where I thought, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: your life is just over. Yeah. Yeah, oh, I had
Speaker 1: a major depression. Yesterday afternoon. I tried to call some
Speaker 1: venues in San Jose to see if I could, you know,
Speaker 1: get booked there or rent them out so I could
Speaker 1: do a show in San Jose. And the ones I
Speaker 1: called were either gone because of COVID or just weren't interested.
Speaker 1: Just now, we're you know, we're fine. We get our
Speaker 1: comics through this or we don't rent it out or whatever.
Speaker 1: And how many social yesterday I heard how many social
Speaker 1: media followers do you have? And you know all this
Speaker 1: other stuff. So if you live in San Jose and
Speaker 1: you know of a comedy club or a little theater,
Speaker 1: I prefer a little theater that would hold one hundred
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and fifty people, please put it
Speaker 1: in the comments below because the ones I'm calling they're like,
Speaker 1: oh no, we hold five hundred people and we would
Speaker 1: never do a show that small because I said, well,
Speaker 1: under you know, one hundred and fifty people, and they're like,
Speaker 1: oh no, we would. So if you know of a
Speaker 1: place that hopefully serves cocktails and has a stage and
Speaker 1: can accommodate a hundred people or so, and it's in
Speaker 1: the Bay area, the razroom is gone, you know, and
Speaker 1: a Planet Gemini in Monterey is not in the Bay Area,
Speaker 1: and so I need a place like in San Jose.
Speaker 1: So if you know of a place, please let me know.
Speaker 1: So that was frustrating thea not getting to the song yet.
Speaker 1: It's frustrating. I understand her reasons for not being able
Speaker 1: to record it this week when I needed it recorded,
Speaker 1: but you know, and she's doing it free, so I can't,
Speaker 1: you know, But that's frustrating. The lump that I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to have ultrasound. Now my insurance says, oh, the general
Speaker 1: surgeon can't order that ultrasound because it's in your chest.
Speaker 1: You have to go through our breast care group and
Speaker 1: that referral's been put in. I have a PPO, but
Speaker 1: they're like, that referral has been put in. They'll contact
Speaker 1: you in three to five days and then you can
Speaker 1: set an appointment with them. I'm like, I don't need
Speaker 1: to see another doctor. Two doctors have now seen me, dermatologists,
Speaker 1: general surgeon. They both want an ultrasound of it. Why
Speaker 1: do I need to? But you know what, that was
Speaker 1: an hour of my life yesterday. So that's frustrating. Money
Speaker 1: is frustrating, you know, yesterday afternoon, do your career. I
Speaker 1: love my podcast, but I need one hundred times. I
Speaker 1: need more than four hundred views of my videos. I
Speaker 1: need like four thousand, forty forty thousand, and I think
Speaker 1: I'm good enough to get that. So why why isn't
Speaker 1: it happening? So I was depressed yesterday and then I
Speaker 1: posted on social media on threads at really corell just
Speaker 1: a picture of my kitchen, which most of you have
Speaker 1: seen with the open shelves, and I very flippantly said, God,
Speaker 1: I love open shelves. You know, the kitchen is a
Speaker 1: work zone. Why would you put cabinets in the way
Speaker 1: of what you need to reach? That's all the post says,
Speaker 1: whyever would you have cabinets when you have to reach,
Speaker 1: you know, up and back so much. It is the
Speaker 1: most commented on post I have ever posted, over one
Speaker 1: thousand vitriolic, mean, horrible answers. It looks like crap, your
Speaker 1: kitchen sucks, it's too cluttered, blah blah blah, on and
Speaker 1: on and on, horrible, mean, mean, derogatory cursing. And that's
Speaker 1: all that social media is nowadays. It is not healthy.
Speaker 1: We should not be on social media for anything but
Speaker 1: promotion of your brand, or you should use it as
Speaker 1: a tool as a marketing tool. That's all it should be.
Speaker 1: And I'm lonely, and it's very lonely here in the summer,
Speaker 1: as you know, because we've got to stay in the
Speaker 1: house and such. But I'm using social media as a
Speaker 1: way to connect and I don't know these people I'm
Speaker 1: connecting with, and I haven't met anybody that I'm going
Speaker 1: to go out with or anything. It just makes you
Speaker 1: feel less lonely. If you see what people are saying
Speaker 1: about a topic and then you chime in, you feel
Speaker 1: less lonely, but you're not making a connection. Well. President
Speaker 1: Obama said, we have become a nation that idolizes all
Speaker 1: the wrong things. We idolize fame, we idolize money. He's
Speaker 1: talking about influencers, by the way, and his next line,
Speaker 1: we constantly try or wait, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: it wrong. We constantly seek the approval of strangers on
Speaker 1: our phones. When he said that that was it, I
Speaker 1: lost it. I lost it. We constantly seek the approval
Speaker 1: of strangers on our phones. I thought that should be
Speaker 1: the death of social media right there, that sentence from
Speaker 1: that learned individual should be the death of social media.
Speaker 1: Obama doesn't post anything except to promote the Obama brand,
Speaker 1: to get a message out about what they're doing, to
Speaker 1: show photos about what they're doing, to promote their TV
Speaker 1: shows or their other endeavors. But he doesn't comment on
Speaker 1: other people's posts. He doesn't get into any kind of
Speaker 1: arguments online with people. He doesn't seek. He doesn't go
Speaker 1: out and seek the approval of strangers on his phone.
Speaker 1: He doesn't and most celebrities most many do, but most
Speaker 1: do not. They only use social media to promote their brand,
Speaker 1: and if they give you a peek behind their life,
Speaker 1: it's really for their fans. When Barbarus Dreissen shows a
Speaker 1: picture of her dogs. She's not putting that out there
Speaker 1: for the entire world. She's putting it out there for
Speaker 1: her followers, for her fans, And so that comment we
Speaker 1: are constantly seeking the approval of strangers on our phones,
Speaker 1: has suddenly changed my entire relationship with social media. In
Speaker 1: one fell swoop and all the vitriolic comments that I'm
Speaker 1: getting over just a picture of my kitchen my first
Speaker 1: thing to go viral. It has been viewed over five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand times. Half a million people have seen my kitchen.
Speaker 1: I post online comments from the show. I post minute
Speaker 1: snippets of the show. I post articles that I've written
Speaker 1: about important things in the world. I have posted all
Speaker 1: kinds of socially relevant content. Gets hardly any views. I
Speaker 1: post a picture of my kitchen and simply say that
Speaker 1: I don't like cabinets and that you you know, because
Speaker 1: you got to reach and work. And it gets five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand views and over a thousand comments. Now it
Speaker 1: has gotten six hundred likes as well. So six hundred
Speaker 1: people thought, yeah, I like that, but a thousand people
Speaker 1: have chosen to say derogatory negative and their pigs they
Speaker 1: all say the same thing, Well, why it would all
Speaker 1: get covered with grease. I'm like, no, I don't use
Speaker 1: that much grease, and I have venting. None of my
Speaker 1: stuff in my kitchen gets covered with grease, And yes,
Speaker 1: I clean it every week. All the dishes are washed
Speaker 1: almost every week whenever I do a load of dishes.
Speaker 1: What happens is the top shelf fills up from my
Speaker 1: daily use and then the bottom shelf. I put in
Speaker 1: the dishes from the shelf, not all at once, like
Speaker 1: one day it'll be one set, the next daybe the other.
Speaker 1: But they get washed pretty much on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1: And are they covered with grease and dust? No? I
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of pigs these people are because
Speaker 1: they're frying animal products. Someone said my bacon grease would
Speaker 1: get I said, well, then give up bacon. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't fry things. I do not deep
Speaker 1: fry anything. I use the air fryer or the Brava.
Speaker 1: The Brava I do not, you know, like get this
Speaker 1: much grease going, And no, that's just not good for you.
Speaker 1: I don't do it. I might eat stuff like that
Speaker 1: at a restaurant every so often, but I don't deep
Speaker 1: fry anything, you know. I use the air fryer, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't get you know, grease all over the kitchen.
Speaker 1: So when Obama said that to me, I said, what
Speaker 1: are you doing, Chuck, what are you doing? You should
Speaker 1: be using you know, yesterday, in my depression, I probably
Speaker 1: spent three hours total on social media, just scrolling through threads,
Speaker 1: scrolling through TikTok, scrolling through Instagram, And I thought, that's
Speaker 1: three hours. You're not writing, you're not reading a book.
Speaker 1: You're not going out to meet somebody, you're not going
Speaker 1: to a coffee shop downtown. You're not you know, you're
Speaker 1: not doing anything. You're sitting on your sofa in a
Speaker 1: darkened room at two in the afternoon because the shades
Speaker 1: have to be drawn because of the sun, and you're
Speaker 1: reading what total strangers are saying online or what they're
Speaker 1: saying about you or your post. My relationship with social
Speaker 1: media is not healthy, and Barack Obama pointed it out.
Speaker 1: You know, I kept thinking, well, it's you need to
Speaker 1: go viral, you need the show to go viral. You
Speaker 1: need That doesn't really help. It doesn't really help. What
Speaker 1: if one thing goes viral. You might make a little money,
Speaker 1: you might, but it doesn't really get you. For instance,
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand people have seen my kitchen, how many
Speaker 1: people hit the follow button? None? I didn't get any
Speaker 1: new followers. Five hundred and six hundred liked my kitchen.
Speaker 1: You think they'd at least follow me. Nope. And now
Speaker 1: you know, I know these numbers that clubs want, these
Speaker 1: numbers and everything else. But these numbers don't mean anything anymore,
Speaker 1: you know, And this era of the influencer, influencers are
Speaker 1: mostly a holes and I don't want to be that.
Speaker 1: So if I can't succeed in the entertainment industry without
Speaker 1: being online three four hours a day, well then I
Speaker 1: guess I'll never succeed because now all I want to
Speaker 1: do is post about the show. And the only people
Speaker 1: I want to interact with are you. That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1: I will comment about what you leave under my videos
Speaker 1: on YouTube or on Patreon. I will interact directly with
Speaker 1: you my listeners on YouTube or Patreon. But interacting with
Speaker 1: people that have two hundred followers because they insulted me
Speaker 1: or because they said something stupid online, that's just done.
Speaker 1: So Barack Obama's statement that we constantly are seeking the
Speaker 1: approval of strangers on our phone. That really hit me.
Speaker 1: Social media is not good. You shouldn't be on it.
Speaker 1: If you want news, read a newspaper, subscribe to applenews,
Speaker 1: go to news dot Google dot com or news dot
Speaker 1: Yahoo dot com and see a newsfeed. Get an app
Speaker 1: that just aggregates news. But you don't need social media.
Speaker 1: And if you want to connect with a person, connect
Speaker 1: with an actual person. Don't just connect with people online
Speaker 1: because it's not connection, it's not real. And Obama pointed
Speaker 1: that out, and it struck me, honey, it struck me,
Speaker 1: all right. So an actor, a French actor, died, very
Speaker 1: famous French actor, and he wanted his ten year old
Speaker 1: dog euthanized and wrapped in his arms and then buried
Speaker 1: with him. The family has said, no, we ain't doing it.
Speaker 1: He's dead, We're not killing the dog. And so it's
Speaker 1: a big online kerfuffle. It's like, well, it's his last
Speaker 1: wish and it was his dog. Listen, I know that
Speaker 1: Ember would not have the life that I give her
Speaker 1: if I die. It's one of the reasons I am
Speaker 1: literally trying to live at least another ten years. And
Speaker 1: that's the truth. I know that sounds sad and tragic,
Speaker 1: that I want to live because of my dog. But
Speaker 1: I do because I have given her a life that
Speaker 1: she is accustomed to, and I want her to have
Speaker 1: that life. If I die, she wouldn't have that life.
Speaker 1: But do I think if I die that they should
Speaker 1: put down Ember. No, she may not have the same life,
Speaker 1: and she may be miserable for the rest of her
Speaker 1: life without me, but at least she will be alive,
Speaker 1: and at least she will be loved by somebody and
Speaker 1: cared for. Now, whether she's the same dog or has
Speaker 1: the same life, or you know, she might be depressed
Speaker 1: the rest of her life, but at least I didn't
Speaker 1: kill her because I die. So what do you think?
Speaker 1: It's a last wish written in the will. We're supposed
Speaker 1: to respect someone's last wishes. The family has said, no,
Speaker 1: what would you do if a loved one died? The
Speaker 1: Egyptians used to do this when you died. They used
Speaker 1: to kill your pets and bury them with you. What
Speaker 1: would you do? Would you respect that wish? Put the
Speaker 1: comment down below. I am corel of you who you
Speaker 1: want to be son to hurt anybody like and subscribe
Speaker 1: to the comments down below, because now you're the only
Speaker 1: ones I'm will be interacting with on us. I ain't
Speaker 1: interacting with anybody on threads or Instagram anymore. Nope. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to constantly speak to the approval of strangers
Speaker 1: on Nope. Barack snapped me out of He might as
Speaker 1: well slap me in the face. He mousewell reached through
