A Holiday Weekend of Tragedy, Violence, and How We Keep Going | Karel Cast 25-170
This was supposed to be a holiday weekend — and instead, it became a devastating reminder of how broken and violent the world feels right now.
Two people were shot and killed at Brown University, with the suspect still at large.
In Australia, 15 people were murdered in a hate-driven mass shooting, the country’s deadliest in 30 years.
And in a shocking family tragedy, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered in their home by their own son.
It’s overwhelming. It’s heartbreaking. And it raises the question so many of us are asking right now:
Is the world losing its mind — and how do we stay positive when tragedy feels constant?
On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we talk honestly about grief, fear, compassion fatigue, and what it takes to keep going when the news never lets up.
Plus, a lighter — but revealing — moment: a major vegan fail this weekend that made me realize how even our diets are being impacted by Donald Trump-era economics and policy fallout.
This is a conversation about reality, resilience, and finding humanity when the headlines feel unbearable.

Old time is here. No time to fear.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Corralla is so near because show time is here.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Corilla is the one that you need to know now.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
It's show time, all right.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Was a very very angry weekend today, and we're gonna
talk all about it. Oh what a weekend? What a weekend?

Speaker 6 (00:41):
Hang our heads, people, uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.

Speaker 7 (00:49):
It's the Corral Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
It is the I am Corel, so very glad you
are joining me. The description on the show today is
completely wrong. But everything's discombobulated today. It's why I'm late.
It's just it's been a day. But I'm not going
to complain because what a weekend we've had. First, let's

(01:19):
start with the most recent and go backwards in tragedy,
shall we. I got in a lot of trouble, for
a lot of trouble when I played Ding Dong The
Witch is Dead, the day that Ronald Regg died, and

(01:39):
you know, hold on, I'm typing in I want to
find something from Donald Trump of all thing. So I
got into a lot of trouble. And then Charlie Kirk
dies and suddenly if you mentioned anything negative about Charlie Kirk,
they were literally setting up a website to go and
dop you. You know. So, the President of the United

(02:04):
States last night after Rob Reiner, Rob Reiner, one of
the greatest directors of the twentieth and twentieth first centuries,
a beloved figure in Hollywood, and after Rob Reiner was
found with his throat cut with his wife, we now

(02:30):
know by his son, probably what did the President of
the United States do? What did the President of the
United States say? He said, this a very sad thing
happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a torturer, a tortured,
a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director

(02:56):
and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife, Missie,
reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,
unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known
as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He

(03:19):
was known to have driven people crazy by his raging
obsession of President Donald J. Trump and his obnoxious paranoia,
reaching new heights as the Trump administration continues to do
great things for America. There is so much wrong with

(03:41):
that truth social post. There is so much wrong with it.
First of all, victim blaming first thing, saying he caused
his death, and that's what he said, caused he passed
away due to the anger he caused others. So before

(04:05):
Donald Trump even knew what happened, before anyone was arrested,
what does he do. He blames Rob Reiner and then
makes it about himself because everything's gotta be about him,
And because Rob Reiner was not a member of MEGA,

(04:26):
he gets that post Charlie Kirk flags at half masted
all around the nation, a posthumous Charlie Kirk day, a
White House address. Rob Reiner, Oh well, he caused it.

(04:47):
He made people mad. He has trumped arrangement syndrome. I
often say, you know that the bottom. You know, at
some point we have to hit bottom, at some point.

(05:10):
I don't know where that point is, especially, but not exclusively,
to Donald Trump, because he's not the only one that's
blaming the wrong people for tragedies this weekend. Oh no,
his beloved counterpart in Israel had some victim blaming to

(05:35):
do as well. But the Rob Reiner, you know, the
tragedy of your son being the one to do this.
It's the Sun's an addict. Maybe they were cutting him off,

(05:57):
Maybe they told him to go back to.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Correll dot com Daily you're missing out.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
Get the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at
really correll dot com. That's really k A R e
l dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Correll is so near because show time is here.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Corrella is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
So first, let's unpack the Rob Reiner thing. His son
has been arrested and his son has been in rehab
multiple times, so that finally family dynamic was obviously fractured. Now, addicts,
you know, sometimes the family does the tough love thing,

(06:52):
We're gonna cut you off, and the addict responds badly.
It appears that some form of that happened in this case.
The son has been arrested. Now, MAGA, they're posting vitriolic

(07:12):
things about Rob Reiner, and this shows, you know, they're
so stupid. They're the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet because
they don't realize that they stand on this moral high
horse with someone like Charlie Kirk, How dare you he
just died blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Erica

(07:34):
Kirk was just out there with their fake tears. You
want to watch my husband be murdered in high death
and then you want to post horrible comments or rejoice
in his death, your despicable people boohoo who And now
those very people are literally rejoicing and blaming Rob Reiner's

(07:59):
liberalis them for his death when it had nothing to
do with his death. The level of mental illness and
depravity starting at the White House on down to the
average MAGA person or citizens under Nazi tutelage better known

(08:21):
as kunts, the level of depravity is beyond me. It's
just beyond me. And it doesn't stop there. It doesn't
stop there. We know that Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are
fuck buddies. We know this. And this weekend in Australia

(08:47):
the worst mass shooting in thirty years because they had
the decency to band guns after the nineteen ninety six
mass shooting, So the worst mass shooting in years. Fifteen
dead at Bondi Beach. First of all, that entire thing

(09:07):
unfolded live on video, and it was horrific to watch.
The man that tackled the gunman is a hero. He
should have shot the gunman through the head. He should
have once he got the gun. He should have shot
the gunman directly through the head. He didn't. He should have.

(09:30):
So this father and son are sitting home one day
and I guess they say, hey, Dad, what do you
want to do today?

Speaker 4 (09:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Why don't we go to the beach and shoot a
bunch of Jews. Okay, sounds great, let's go do it.
And they do a hanka celebration in Australia. They get
to the top of a bridge and they stand there
like shooting fish in a barrel. I wanted to say,

(09:59):
geffelta f because you gotta find humor and things that
you're gonna die. And they stood there shooting and shooting
and shooting, and what probably seemed like the longest five
minutes in history unfurled. There was a hero. He did

(10:20):
take down one of the gunmen, although the gunman then
got back up, went back to the bridge, picked up
a gun and started shooting again. Now, when Benjamin Netan
Yahoo made a speech about this, who did he blame
the Australian government. He blamed Australia and its government for

(10:43):
all the anti Semitism that they've allowed to fester, for
them saying that they were going to recognize a Palestinian state.
This is what comes when you try to recognize a
Palestinian state. So they tried to blame the government of Australia.

(11:07):
Never didn't it In Yahoo once say, you know, maybe
if I wasn't committing genocide in the Middle East. You know,
maybe if I hadn't launched a two year war over
one attack and killed tens of thousands of innocent women
and children and babies, Maybe if I hadn't done that,

(11:29):
there wouldn't be so much anti Semitism in the world,
and people wouldn't be so quick to kill jukes. Oh no,
he didn't say that. He said Australia let anti semitism fester.
You know, the biggest spreader of anti anti Semitism is Israel.

(11:53):
They're the biggest spreader of anti semitism Israel. Why because
they're committing genocide, because they're still not at peace, because
Palestinians are still dying, because they refuse to recognize the
Palestinian state because Netan Yahoo refuses to say that he

(12:14):
did anything wrong. So the biggest perpetrator of anti Semitism
is Netan Nyahu. He's done more to harm their Jews
and their reputation and is Look, people don't even want
to compete in the euro song contests, Eurovision, EUROSNG why

(12:36):
because Israel was allowed to compete. Ireland was like, no,
we'll sit this out. And it's not because anyone hates Jews.
It's because they hate Netan Yahoo, they hate the Israeli government,
they hate genocide. But just like Trump, unable to see

(13:01):
or admit that he has done anything wrong, net In
Yahoo comes out and says, it's Australia's fault, It's Theurmer's fault.
In the UK, it's anyone's fault that wants to recognize
the Palestinian state. Fifteen dead people lying in blood on

(13:24):
the beach. A ten year old girl, a rabbi, young,
beautiful Australian Jews, just out having a lovely Hanukkah celebration,
murdered viciously by two insane, misguided, angry, angry people. And

(13:49):
what does Netton Yahoo do? Blame people, not the gunman.
You know, this guy's has had guns for ten years.
In Australia, you have to be licensed, and he was.
He was a licensed gun holder. He had guns for

(14:10):
you know, ten years and never thought to pick them
up and harm anybody. Why now, why now? Could it
be the genocide? Yep? Could it be all the anti
Semitism that net and Yahoo has caused in the world. Yep?

(14:31):
So who is to blame for what happened on that beach?
Benjamin Netan Yahoo? That's who. The blood is on his
hands of his own people, just like all the blood
of all the Palestinians. He'll never say it. So we

(14:54):
have Trump literally blaming Rob Reiner for his own murder,
saying that he was a victim of trunk derangement syndrome.
Then we have Netan Yahoo blaming the government of Australia,
the government of Europe, and any government that wants to

(15:14):
recognize Palestine as a state. By the way, in the
US Peace Plan, there is a pathway to that. So
I guess he blames us too. Does he blame himself?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
You know.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
It's hard. Yes, it was a Muslim man who tackled
the shooter. It was a Muslim man, he was an antisemitic.
He risked his life to save Jews. That's you know,
life right there on planet Earth. You have the very

(15:52):
worst of the worst happening. And meanwhile, while that worst
of the worst is happening, the best of the best
also happens too. That's life, isn't it. You have the
worst of the worst and the best of the best,
and often at the same time. So what an angry weekend?

(16:18):
And then the weekend started off with the shooting at
Brown University, a historical black college. I believe in HBU.
I think it's an HBU providence Rhode Island. The person
of instant of interest that they had in that case
has been released, not enough evidence, so the shooter is

(16:41):
basically still at large or unknown. Two dead there, fifteen
dead in Australia, Rob Ryder and his wife dead yesterday.
Happy Holidays. What a weekend? What a weekend of What

(17:01):
a weekend? And I would say that's just life in America.
But the Australia thing, which is so out of the
norm for them, you know, that's not our hatred, that's
not our violence, that's their They own that. And watch
how they'll change after this mass shooting. After the last one,

(17:24):
they radically suppressed guns. Watch how they change now. I
bet they allow all of them all together. They won't
even let you have a license to have one. You
wait and see they'll do something. At least they are proactive.
But the Trump true social thing. Yeah, I did say

(17:49):
Brown as an HBU? Is it not an HBU? I
thought it was. I thought it was a horse historically
Black University. But I was wrong, and I said, I
think I wasn't sure. I don't have them all memorized,
so but I thought it was. I thought when someone
I thought I heard someone say that when this was
going on. But whoever I was listening to could very

(18:12):
well have been wrong. Well they were, obviously, but that
doesn't matter. I doesn't you know everyone's always wasn't a
hate crime? Well the shooter didn't love the people that
he shot, so yeah, it was a hate crime. He
wasn't sending flowers and shooting gerber daisies. So we had Brown.

(18:39):
Then we had Bondi Beach in Australia, and then we
had Rob Reiner and his wife all in one weekend,
all this tragedy just ten days before Christmas. And then
it wasn't just the tragedy, but the response Net and

(18:59):
Yahoo blaming the Australians Donald Trump saying that Rob Reiner
was killed because of his anger, because of his Trump
Derangement syndrome. This Donald Trump is unfit for office mentally
and physically. He has dementia, probably a heart condition. We

(19:25):
know he's getting daily IV's in his hands. He bathers, blathers,
and he's up at I think that tweet, that post
from Donald Trump was posted at like two or three
in the morning, you know, I mean, it's just ridiculous.
Everyone makes excuses for him. Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Green, you

(19:49):
know what she said about Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner and
his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their
own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues,
and their remaining children are left in serious morning and heartbreak.
This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.
Why is she sounding more presidential than the President of
the United States. What kind of fucked up world do

(20:12):
we live in that Marjorie Taylor Green is now being
seen as the compassionate one. I mean, really, what kind
of upside down from stranger things are we living in
where Marjorie Taylor Green is actually making sense. I'm not
even sure that's her. Someone must be tweeting for her.

(20:35):
I mean, really, maybe she got a PR team or something,
because she's making way too much sense being compassionate. The
hell's up with that? Yes, it is an Ivy League university.
We know that Brown University. So wow, what a weekend.
I'm exhausted by it. I don't know that, y'all, but

(20:57):
my tragedy capacity is on overload. I'm like, there's there's
been one tragedy after another after another after another. Meanwhile,
yesterday at Sprout, albeit not the cheapest market, but it's
not whole food. So I had a High Ti yesterday
for my girls, Jeanie and Sherry. I wanted Steve the

(21:18):
company had things to do. And I'm gonna tell you
a week back how shopping for High TI made me
realize just how fucked we are. It was my personal
I haven't more Gaily.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
Now?

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Is show.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
All right? Bailey's and hot cocoa Baby, It's some way
to start a winter morning. And yes, Baileyes make vegan Baileies.
And they had cookies and cream only, so I got
it and it's good in hot cocoa. I feel good
because I don't drink, so even half a shot. I
had half a shot, So half a shot of Bailey's

(22:20):
in my cocoa, and I feel good. And I need
to feel good. You need to feel good. There's so
much tragedy happening around us. And while all this was
going on, I thought, well, I'm gonna have a high
t It's sort of like my Christmas gathering. You know,
I probably won't have another gathering before Christmas. I certainly
won't be going to the Eiffel Tower restaurant on Christmas Eve,

(22:43):
where Steve and I wanted to go two hundred and
five dollars a person plus forty dollars tip. Pre paid
two hundred and forty five dollars to go to Christmas
Eve dinner per person at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant in Vegas.

(23:05):
When it's a relic, they'll wonder why Crossroads Kitchen the
Vegan kitchen here? Christmas Eve dinner one hundred and seventy
five dollars plus forty dollars tip, or two hundred and
thirty dollars. So Steve and I combined would spend almost

(23:27):
five hundred dollars on a Christmas Eve dinner, not doing it,
not doing it, so not going out for Christmas Eve.
So yesterday I went to buy stuff for high tea,
and I wanted to make cucumber sandwiches. So I needed
a loaf of bread, which I barely buy. I eat
very little bread, so you know, I barely buy it,

(23:50):
and I bake it. Usually when I want bread, I
make a loaf, a loaf of bread. One loaf, the cheap,
the cheap bread with all that added ingredients and things
you can't pronounce four ninety nine to five ninety nine.
The decent bread with just a few ingredients seven ninety

(24:13):
nine A loaf, the good bread daves it's called, and
the other good breads eight ninety nine a loaf. Yesterday
I paid seven ninety nine eight dollars for a loaf
of bread. If you'd have told my parents that one

(24:38):
day a loaf of bread would be eight dollars, they
would have never believed it. They would have never ever
believed it eight dollars. I wanted to put salmon on
their cucumber sandwiches my two guests, so I bought the

(24:58):
thinly shaved smoke salmon. It's like in a thing this big,
four very way for thin slices that you can see through.
Just four fifteen dollars for four f fifteen dollars. That's

(25:19):
three seventy five for one thin little sheet of smoked salmon. Oh,
it doesn't stop there. Everything the creamer, my nutpods, it's
called nutpods. Creamer six fifty a quart a pint a
court six dollars and fifty cents. Silk oat milk creamer

(25:44):
five point fifty five dollars and fifty cents for a
quart of oat milk creamer. I just looked at these prices,
and I just and I I said, okay, well, I'm
gonna go to Lee's Liquor and try to get some
Vegan Bailey's and some Frangelico. And because I was, I

(26:08):
have no alcohol in the house. So I went and
got Frangelico, Vegan Baileies and elderflower liqueur one hundred dollars
for three bottles of alcohol. Went to the bakery, said,
you know, donuts used to be three dollars a dozen.

(26:29):
Now they're three dollars a donut. I bought them little
ganaches and little little macaroon cookies, you know, the little
high tea cookies, macaroons two ninety nine. I I just
you know, And so I went to Smith's, our cheaper
grocery store. I thought, well, things will be cheaper at Smiths. Nope,

(26:53):
the nut pods was still six dollars a pine or quart.
The silk was still five point fifty. You know, I
mean bread at Smith's the cheapest loast the worst kind
of bread you can buy, white bread filled with chemicals
four fifty. So the cheapest loaf of bread four dollars

(27:16):
four fifty. I don't understand. I don't how are grocery
is this expensive? No one has ever justified it. They've
never given us the actual reason. During COVID, I get it,
supply chain, there's not workers. There's no one in the warehouses,

(27:37):
no one in the fields, no one in the bakeries
to bake the bread. I get it. COVID's been over
a while now all the supply chains are backworking again.
So why you know? Urhia went up because of the
insurance that we needed. Our insurance policy got canceled here.

(27:58):
It used to be two hundred thousand a year, which
was I thought enormous, But then when it got canceled
because of some fires and water damage and stuff. I'm
talking the whole complex. The new policies were all above
four hundred thousand dollars, so they did an assessment of
one thousand dollars every person, and you had to pay
it one hundred dollars a month. Well, now they've gotten

(28:19):
some cheaper insurance estimates, and so they're going to lower
our HIA by forty dollars because the insurance went down.
So instead of keeping it high and putting that money
in the revenues or whatever, they're lowering it. Why can't
grocery stores do this? We know it is not costing

(28:40):
them as much the food as it did during COVID.
We know that it's gone down. They're pricing, so why
are they still charging premium prices. Well, the seven food
companies that run everything all showed record profits in the
last quarter. Record. They're making billions of dollars. Trump is

(29:07):
doing nothing. Trump could call all the heads of the
food companies and say, lower your prices by fifty percent,
or I'm going to tax the fuck out of you.
He could do that. He could call and say we're
going to raise taxes on you and take that money
and give it back to consumers, or you're going to

(29:27):
lower your prices by at least forty percent, Jazzy. No,
has anyone addressed why food is so expected? No, because
there's no need, There is no issue.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
It is the We're Outcast, Part two. Welcome back, Oh people, people,
Let's just take a minute. Okay, this is a podcast,
it's not live radio. Let's just take a minute. I
tried this weekend to have a fun Christmas season. I
really wanted Steve to come over, but Sherry and Jeannie

(31:20):
came over, and Jeanie brought her dog, Mochi, who is
the goodest little Yorkie you've ever seen. Ember likes Mochi.
Ember likes most dougs. We had a lovely high tea
and I thanked the universe at the end of the
day yesterday for friends that came over, even though I
charged everything for the ability to have a charge card

(31:41):
to do that with, for the safety, you know, so
many people getting shot or having their throat slit yesterday.
I am schizophrenic at the moment because part of me
is so grateful for you, my listeners, and my patrons.

(32:04):
I can't even tell you I would not be doing
this show without the patrons, and my gratitude just fills
up in my heart every time I think of you.

Speaker 7 (32:15):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Look, I don't want to be doing a show today,
and that's the God's honest truth. I'm in holiday mode.
I've been doing shows all fucking year, okay, every month
of the year, you know, sixteen shows a month. I'm
ready for a break, and this morning I had to
go back to Summerland, which in Vegas is you know,

(32:37):
you guys don't know Vegas, but Summerlin's right next to me.
But it's a drive. It's like twelve miles on the freeway,
you know. You just hop on the to fifteen and
five miles up you get off, So it's not twelve
miles like eight nine miles whatever. So I had to
go to Summerland Hospital because Saturday night I slept with
a power ring on which linked to my phone and

(33:00):
it was a sleep study. Instead of putting a thing
around me and a thing on the finger, it's a ring.
It was very cool, but I had to bring it
back this morning before ten. I also had to make
all of Ember's food because I couldn't do that yesterday
because of the tea, which is a big ordeals. It's
five pounds of food that I make at a time,

(33:22):
and then I portioned it up into two ounce so's
it took it took an hour, you know. And I
had to make almond milk because I was out and
I need my hot cocoa and I need my oatmeal,
and so I did all that here and then I
rushed out to Summerline and put on my mask. I
went in the medical building and went and gave them

(33:42):
the thing, drove back to the park, had to get
Ember around so she could do her morning and she did.
Did the hills feel bad because I only did one
point four miles instead of two, So I feel very bad.
And I didn't get here until ten minutes till eleven,
and now here I am. I would have loved to

(34:03):
just take it off, but you know what, I am
so grateful for you taking your time out of your day.
I am so grateful that in Canada right now the
podcast is number one thirty nine on the Apple Charts.
I am so grateful that it's charting all over the
world as we speak. It doesn't make me any money.
And speaking of charting, I dance because my brand new

(34:25):
single that you should all be streaming Corel k Ariel
I dance because it's already on several best of the
Year list and I wrote that song. I wrote it.
So this year twenty twenty five, for the first time
in my life, I had two charting singles that I wrote,

(34:51):
one that I sang and one that THEO Austin sang.
I am sixty three. I have been singing since I
was fourteen years old. It took this long and it's
not the Billboard charts, but who cares some chart somewhere.

(35:12):
I'm finally charting. So I have a heart filled with gratitude.
And then Trump says what he says about Rob Reiner
and the hypocrisy, because when Charlie Kirk died, one of
the most vile fucks to ever walk the planet, when
he died, we all had to have reverence. It was

(35:36):
as if Saint Agnes died. Rob Reiner, who only brought
joy and beauty to the world, who started out on
All of the Family, a socially relevant television show that
even Nixon talked about as meathead the Liberals standing up

(35:56):
to Archie Bunker.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
He had visiting Correll dot com daily. You're missing out.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
Get the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at
really correll dot com. That's really ka R e l
dot com.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Show Time is here.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
No time to fear Correll is so near because.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Show time is here. So on with the show. Let's
give it a go.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Carrill is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
You know, when you think about Donald Trump, what is
he added to the world? Really? Really? Rob Reiner's first
film was possibly the best mockumentary ever made. Ever, this
is spinal Top. It is still the gold standard mockumentary,

(36:50):
and the new one is just as good. There's a
new spinal Top movie, The Princess Bride. Iconic I am
at Riago Montoya, I mean iconic, launched the career of
Carrie Elways and so many others. Stand by me, still

(37:12):
the de facto coming of age movie of all time,
made in nineteen eighty six and still holds up to
this day. Misery, which launched the career of Kathy Bates,
reinvigorated James Kahn's career and made us all a bit

(37:33):
squeamish when she hobbled his feet. You know, a few
good men you can't handle the truth. I want the
truth when Harry met Sally. These movies are still in
the cultural lexicon today. Okay, today there are still scenes

(37:58):
of when Harry met Sally that people talk about. A
few good men, Misery, spinal Tap, stand by me. The
Princess Bride. Rob Reiner brought joy and happiness and entertainment
to the world, and as a human he was on
the right side of the issues. And what does the

(38:19):
seated president say when he has his throat. Do you
know how horrible a death having your throat cut is.
It's not like on TV. So on TV when they
cut your throat, you see someone just cut across and
you see them grab and fall. That's not what happens, okay,

(38:40):
in real life, when you get your throat cut, you grab,
arterial spray goes all over the room and the wall,
and you don't die for up to two minutes while
you bleed out through your neck. In fact, if the
person doesn't cut deep enough, many don't even die. People

(39:03):
have survived having their throat cut because most people don't
realize you've got to go from top to bottom. You've
got to cut through a lot of stuff in the neck,
there's a lot of stuff. And one of them died,
saw the other one get killed. He couldn't cut the
throats both at once. So Rob Reiner knew that his

(39:27):
son was betraying him and his wife, and he died
a painful, horribly, messy, terrifying death. And the last two
minutes of his life he felt his blood leaving his
body and then became dizzy and fainted. It's a horrible

(39:50):
way to die, having your throat cut. It's terrible, And
does the President of the United States have any compassion
for this man who culturally gave Americans of all stripes.
You know, he didn't make movies for Democrats or Republicans.
He just made movies. He entertained people. Next to Ron Howard,

(40:18):
probably one of the most entertaining film directors, He's right
up there with Spielberg. And what does the seated president
say that he died of his anger and his Trump
derangement syndrome. Never have I wanted someone to stroke out more,
I'll tell you that. And he's unhealthy. And then you know,

(40:44):
the world throws that BONDI beach at us. And the
sad part is that we are so as Americans in America.
None of this this weekend is going to even be
talked about on Wednesday. In Australia, they'll be talking about
this for weeks and months. People in public will be sad,

(41:06):
you know. But in our country, huh, mass shootings, path
how jaded we've become. What a tragic society the American
culture has become, and a lot of it right now
due to Donald J. Trump. And I'm not deranged Donald

(41:28):
talking about yourself and the third person I'm not deranged.
I don't have Trump derangement syndrome. I have a brain.
I don't have TDS. I have critical thinking. I wish
you would insult me once, Donald Trump. I wish I
was in front of you asking you a question and
then you insulted me, because it would be the last

(41:50):
time you insulted a reporter and they didn't clap back
at you. It'd be the last time you ever disrespected
someone and they didn't get in your And so here
we are, ten days from Christmas, and this is where

(42:11):
we are as a culture. It's sad. It's it's really
it's really sad. Oh they're quoting all these great movie lines.
You know, I'll have what she's having. That's just such
a lie. Meg Foster's all, Oh the ladies, all I'll

(42:33):
have what she's having. Oh God, you can't handle the truth.
I want the truth.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
I deserve the truth.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
You can handle the truth.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Didn't you order the code read?

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (42:47):
Oh? That courtroom seen alone should have won everybody an oscar? Everybody,
DEMI Tom Jack, just throw the oscars in the room,
Rob and now he's gone. You know, this weekend, my
medical anxiety really acted up. I have a white spot

(43:10):
under my tongue, and my dentist made the mistake a
while ago of telling me that when we look for
things in the mouth, we actually looked for white spots. Well,
I did eat heated gravy a few days ago and
under my tongue was sensitive from the heated gravy. When
I talked to the dentist on Friday via text, he said,

(43:33):
it's probably a canker sore that developed from when you
burned it under your tongue. He said, if it's not
gone by Wednesday or Thursday, come in. But I, of
course have spent the last few days thinking that I
have oral cancer. Why because as a kid I had HPV.
When I was eighteen, I had human papalona papolona virus.

(43:54):
I had genibal Wurtz used to go to the bath
house and protected sex before the age of AIDS. I
got genital warts and they took them off. But that's
caused by HPV, and later in life HPV is responsible
for throat cancer or for oral cancer. So I of
course have convinced myself that I have it. And then

(44:17):
I don't know if you all can see, but a
weird bruise appeared right here. Oh yeah, you can see it,
see right there. I don't know what happened there. I
didn't hit it, I didn't burn it. I don't know
what it is. And I'm scared about it, actually, And so,
you know, I had all this medical anxiety, and then

(44:39):
I thought about Rob Reiner in his seventies and all
the doctors he's probably seen in his life, and the
medications that he's probably on. And this morning at the park,
I thought all the worry Reiner probably did about his life,
and he dies by having his throat cut by his son,

(45:03):
something he never worried about ever. And it made me
realize again that all my worry is stupid. It's stupid
because I don't know how I'm gonna go. Maybe this
is some maybe this bruises, some indication of something. I
don't know. It just appeared. Maybe I do have oral care,

(45:24):
you know, I don't know, but you never. You just
don't know. And so the worry about it is futile
because Rob Reiner was probably worried about his health, He's
probably on medication, sees doctors everything. How's he died his
son kills him, you know, So you don't know. You can't.

(45:46):
You can't really worry as much as I worry, because
I'm not gonna go the way that I think I am,
you know the way that is so at least I
took something positive from Rob Reiner's death, which is something
so weird and unexpected happens. You just got to kind
of roll, you know, with life. You can't really worry

(46:07):
about life because you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow.
What does our president do? Spits on his grave? TMC's headline,
Trump spits on Rob Reiner's grave. Yep. So I want
us this week to try to get back to finding

(46:27):
some good things about the holidays, some joy about the holidays. Now,
I will be here every day this month except Fridays.
But I am not gonna lie to you from December.
From a week from today, starting next Monday, for two weeks,
there will be new shows. They will be brand new shows,

(46:49):
but they will be pre recorded because from the twenty
second until January fourth, I'm not gonna do live shows.
I'm giving myself two weeks of pre recorded shows because
I need a mental break from all of it. So
they'll be shows. They'll be great There'll be shows you've

(47:11):
never seen before. There'll be great topics, great segments. I
encourage you. I will come and visit in the chat room.
I'm not going to not visit in the chat room.
So I'll be in the chat room to visit with
you guys. But the shows will be pre recorded and
to give me a break, because, like you, I think

(47:34):
it's just too much on our brains. I think America
is trying to break us. It's trying to And where
are the Epstein files? By the way, wasn't last Friday
the deadline for the Epstein files? Weren't we supposed to
get the Epstein files by because they put a deadline
in the legislation. I think it was last Friday. Where
are they? You know? Where? Where are they? Are they

(48:01):
ever gonna come out? And will they be sanitized? Of
course they will be. They're not gonna release Trump's name.
We know he's all over it. There's new photos of
him all over it. They were best buddies. Trump likes
to have sex with younger women, period, that's in evidence.

(48:24):
Are we ever gonna see No, We'll never get there.
We can't handle the truth. You want the truth? We
are the Tom Cruise character in a Few Good Men,
and Donald Trump is Jack Nicholson. He's not gonna give
us the truth. And Congress the useless body that that

(48:47):
is what a useless group of fucking assholes. That is
just a useless body. And so here we are, ten
days out from Christmas. Is your shopping done?

Speaker 2 (48:59):
To do?

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Any you tree up? Do you feel ho?

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Ho?

Speaker 8 (49:04):
Ho?

Speaker 5 (49:05):
Are you ready to deck your halls? Do you have
your gay apparel? I do? So we got to get
back to having a little more lightheartedness. And because the
world is just turned ugly. This last weekend, the world,
the entire world took a really ugly turn between Brown University, Australia,

(49:33):
Rob Reiner, this weekend, the world took an ugly turn,
and we got to refocus its energy. We've got to
refocus on taking a better turn, because it's just it's
not worth it, is it? You know? Rob Reiner did

(49:55):
worry about Donald Trump, and he did worry about what
Trump is doing to America. He did, And where did
that worry end up taking him? Nowhere? Because his sun
slit his throat. So we got to start being lighter.
We've got to unburden ourselves of all of this stuff.

(50:15):
It's too much grocery store prices. No one has answered.
In the media, they always talk about grocery store prices,
but they never talk about why they are so high,
and when they do, they give excuses that aren't real.
So the billionaires just want to make more money, so
they say, oh, it's supply chain, it's you know, our

(50:38):
costs are higher, you know, trucking and shipping, and and
you know, there's less trucks and there's less boats, and
there's no no. And I have a really honest question,
why is food a for profit business?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Now?

Speaker 5 (51:00):
What I mean by that is I realize grocery stores
have to pay their employees and pay for the food
and all of that, so obviously they need to generate
profits to do that. But above that, above just meeting
their cause. Why do people make billions of dollars selling

(51:22):
people food. It's the same question for healthcare.

Speaker 6 (51:28):
Why small stay.

Speaker 10 (51:43):
No issue side?

Speaker 5 (51:59):
You know, we off it off the strangest things. I'm
not against capitalism, I'm not, but we profit off the
wrong things. We shouldn't profit off healthcare.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
We shouldn't.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
We should pay doctors well, pay nurses well. So yes,
there should be some cost in health care to the government.
By the way, it should be single pair, but there
should be no one making millions and billions of dollars.
Insurance companies making billions of dollars off of health care

(52:34):
mean that we're paying too much for health care. That's
very simple equation. Grocery store owners, the people that run
the grocery stores pay. Making billions of dollars in profit
means we're paying too much for groceries. We shouldn't profit

(52:58):
off of the basics healthcare, food living. In other words,
the landlords, Okay, you can make some money, but you
can't rape people. There should be some controls put.

Speaker 7 (53:15):
On that.

Speaker 5 (53:17):
These are not industries that people should make a ton
of money in. You want to sell someone cars, Okay,
cars aren't necessary. I know you say they are. They're not.
We could build better public transportation. We make money off
of the necessities of life, which is really odd to me.

(53:39):
Why does the gas company make profit? Why does the
electric company make profit? They shouldn't. And I'm not talking
about having money to reinvest in technology and all of that.
I'm talking about profit, pure profit. Why does Edison and
Nevada Energy? Why are there CEOs paid hundreds of thousands

(54:03):
of dollars. And you know that why energy is needed
by all humans and it's free, FYI. They generate it
from the earth, which we all own. I have never
understood that. I guess that's why I guess I'm classified
as a socialist because I've never understood why we profit

(54:24):
off healthcare, groceries, utilities. Those shouldn't be for profit industries, clothing,
sure that can be for profit, why not? And then
also the amount of profit that people make. People that
make obscene amounts of profit shouldn't. No one should be

(54:48):
a billionaire, period, just at all. And if they are,
that money should be taxed. So I look at the
world this week, and I think what an ugly place
it was this weekend. It was a really ugly world.
So let's try this week to bring the focus back

(55:09):
on to the beauty, or at least the topics that
don't involve fifteen people dead on a beach, two students
dead in a university, or a very beloved Hollywood figure
being murdered in cold blood with his wife in their home.
Let's try to elevate above that. And as for Trump,

(55:35):
we can just hope the big beautiful obituary is coming soon.
That's you know, we can just hope. Meanwhile, I'll worry
about my bruise here or whatever that is. I don't
know what that is. It just appeared Thursday morning. There,
it was on my arm, like it just overnight. It
wasn't their Wednesday night, it was their Thursday morning. It's like, okay,

(55:57):
what's that? And I'll worry about little white pimple thing
on my I did learn about mandibular toy. That's what
those hard things in the bottom of your mouth are,
those bony things. That's the mandibular tory. Because this white
thing is right on the end of the mandiguliortory. It's
like right on the end of it. So I learned

(56:19):
about those this weekend. Did you know? That's what they're called,
mandibular tory, those things under your tongue. I'd rather talk
about that for an hour than Donald Trump's response to
Rob Reiner and why the news gives him such a pass.
I don't understand why doesn't someone say, sir, when Charlie
Kirk died, you were beside yourself. But when Rob Reiner died,

(56:40):
you posted this, you know, on yes, Trump's post on
Rob Reiner has sparked international outrage from lawmakers and celebrities alike. Good,
what will anyone do about it? Nothing? Nothing, Australia will
again tighten their gun laws. See I told you, I

(57:02):
told you they would do something. Yep. Ahmed el Ahmed,
who tackled one of the Bondi Beach guvernment, is recovering
in the hospital because he got shot. The gunman shot him,
but he persevered. Israel's NETANYAHUO lashes out while the world

(57:22):
shows shock. Yep. I'm glad I'm not the only one
that saw that and said the hell's his problem? You know?
Brown University shooting victims identified Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umerzakov.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
Wow, even Maga can't stomach Trump's vile Rob Reiner post. Well,
at least there's something there. At least there's some line
that you can't cross with them. Good Lord, Lord, have mercy.
All right, Well, I'll be here all week with you Tuesday,

least the rest of the world is that raged at
Trump too. At least it's like, come on, you know
the guy's just the blood isn't even dry in the house.
Oh no, Anthony Geary just died from general hospital. Oh no, Anthony.
