🔟 Fears Gen Y & Z Don’t Understand (But Gen X & Boomers Live With Daily) | Karel Cast 25-156
Generational battles are louder than ever, with Gen Y and Z openly dragging Gen X and Boomers — but there’s one big truth no one wants to admit: Older generations know what it’s like to be young, but younger generations have no idea what it’s like to age.
Today, we break down 10 major fears that Boomers and Gen X carry with them every day — fears younger generations don’t even think about. From financial instability to health crises to the collapse of social safety nets, these anxieties are real, growing, and shaping the way older Americans live.
Plus:
• After weeks of wall-to-wall Epstein coverage and Congress voting to release the files… where are they?
• It’s screener season: here are the movies worth watching over Thanksgiving weekend.
• And the most appalling story of the week: 15-year-olds picking America’s food, exposed to toxic chemicals, underpaid, and living in fear — a horrifying report from the LA Times.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
It is the Proadcast. I am carel Happy Tuesday, November
twenty fifth, just two short days away from Thanksgiving, So
glad you're here with us. Boomers have ten fears that
gen Z and jen Y and Jen Alpha do not understand.
We're going to talk about that since many of you
are boomers or jen X, so you're boomer adjacent. Also,

(01:19):
it's screener season. We're gonna tell you about some of
the movies you should and should not watch. Is our
Secretary of Transportation right about flying? Could he be right
about anything? And Trump and Russia and Ukraine are in
the news. But I want to start with holidays. We
are two days away from Thanksgiving. I see Christmas stuff
already up, and I want to tell you why it

(01:41):
is important. Even if you don't deck the halls and
decorate and do all that that you at least take
some time, you know, have a holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
This morning I got up at my normal time, so
we got back from the park by eight thirty. Oh
my god, and Jeanie lost Sassey, one of the chihaha.
We couldn't find her anywhere, and she's like, well, she
wouldn't leave the park, but she was this little chihuahua
and a red sweater. We couldn't find her. We finally
found her after walking almost half a mile around the park.
She had gone back to be with a group of people.

(02:13):
She got confused about where we all were and she
went back. But I told her, if it was Ember,
I'd be I'd be calling nine one one, I'd be
having helicopters fly in. Of course, Ember has a GPS
on her neck. Speaking of Ember, I gotta tell you
this morning, I found what looks like part of a
tooth on the floor, and the vet is dumped because
I looked in her mouth and I can't see. So

(02:34):
she has a sido point shot today. So we're gonna
bring the tooth. And you know, it's like home repair.
When you're a homeowner, something happens and you go five
hundred dollars because you just know. When I saw that tooth,
I thought, oh, thirteen hundred dollars, we'll see. Very excited
today I get my new Mac for the show, the
Mac Studio Studio Pro Camp. I'm so excited. Yes, you know,

(02:57):
percent interest for twelve months, so what the hell? Why not? Right?
So anyway, so big about holidays. I was doing my
planning for the next couple of weeks and putting in
the doctor's appointments, putting in the various things, and because
I got my new day planner for next year, and
I thought to myself, you know every year, between Christmas

(03:19):
and New Year's you pre record shows and so you
post new content, but you know you're not there. It's
pre recorded, but you but it's new, it's new, but
it's pre recorded. Are you gonna do that again this year?
And I thought, well, I guess maybe I don't know,
And then I thought, yes, you are in between Christmas

(03:40):
and New years, You're gonna post pre recorded shows. They'll
be good shows, they'll be great content. You guys will
love them, but they'll be pre recorded. And I thought,
because you've done one hundred and fifty seven shows already
this year, I keep track, and you know, you kind

(04:01):
of need to step away from it for a couple
of weeks. And that got me thinking. You know, a
lot of us don't observe holidays. We don't acknowledge them
or observe them, or takes time for them. Many of
us can't, you know, you work in retail or or
a first responder or something. But if you can, it's
important to step away. Steve is he's giving himself, you know,

(04:24):
a couple of weeks holiday. It's important to step away
from something, even if you love it. I love this show.
I do, but one hundred by the time Christmas rolls around,
you know, one hundred and sixty hundred and seventy shows
in the year. I'm ready to like step back a
little bit and just not talk every day for a

(04:44):
couple of weeks. So I will be recorded the week
of Christmas and the week of New Year. New shows,
but recorded hopefully if I can ever see that means
I got to do two shows a day for like
two weeks. But whatever. I just want to say it's
important to give yourself a break. So if you're not

(05:05):
planning to give yourself a break, give yourself a break.
It has been a rough year, it really has, and
you know, we got to step back from it and
enjoy ourselves. You know, just have some fun or just
do nothing. Just sit in a chair with a blanket
and watch movies all season. Whatever it is that makes

(05:27):
you happy, you need to do it around the holidays
because January is going to have all new horrors and
challenges and it's you know, this time of year is
time to concentrate on family, friends, yourself, replenishment and renewals.

(05:53):
And so I hope you will take the time to
do that this holiday season. I really do renew If.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear Corrill is
so near because show time is here.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
So on with the show.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Let's give it a go.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Carrill is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
All right, So this morning our Secretary of War. By
the way, the Sido point shot one hundred and twenty bucks.
This morning, our Secretary of War determined that the US
government is not going to do any more business with
the Boy Scouts. They're not gonna They normally provide soldiers

(06:50):
and medical equipment for the big jamboree that the Boy
Scouts have up in the mountains in case of emergency.
They're there, their medics are there. All that. They're not
gonna do any of that anymore. And Congress makes the
Department of Defense or War involved with the Boy Scouts,
but they can get out of it with a national

(07:11):
security clause. And so Pete is saying that because of
the border and because of all this other stuff, the
troops are needed elsewhere. But his main complaint is get this,
that the Boy Scouts are not masculine enough. That's his
big thing. This guy that can't do three pull ups,
who looks gayer than I do. He looks like if

(07:33):
you got him drunk, he'd screw anything that moved. This
guy says the Boy Scouts are not masculine enough. A
they took the word boy out of their title. So
they're just the Scouts and they let women in. He
cited this as one of the reasons they let girls in.
Number Two that he says they don't give enough boys

(07:56):
space sounds pretty gay to me. Number three, he says
they're too woke. That they are teaching the boy Scouts
to be diverse, equitable, and inclusive, you know, good men.
They're trying to prep them to be good men. But
he says, no, no, no, uh. And there he says

(08:16):
too woke, that they're they're just too woke. So now,
ending an almost eighty year tradition, uh, he is saying
the military will no longer be involved with the with
the Scouts of America, that is these people. You know, Jesus,
what what you know? Come on now, Look, I was

(08:38):
never a boy Scout ever. It just seemed too gay
for me, it really did. You know. Wait, you gotta
wear little costumes. You get in drag. It's drag, so
you've got to get in drag and these bizarre looking
little costumes. Uh. And then they didn't allow gay people
for the longest time, they didn't allow allow gay uh.
Instructors or whatever. It turns out they had tons of

(09:01):
pedophilia going on anyway, And because remember, gays are not pedophiles. Okay,
gay men do not want to sleep with young boys.
That is, gay men like men, Okay, they don't like boys.
If you like boys, you're a pedophile. So, of course,
and that's how I saw it. When I was a kid,
I told my mom, I don't want to go there

(09:21):
and be molested by the damn Scout leader. Oh chuckie,
that doesn't happen. Oh really, what kind of pervy guy
dresses up in that outfit and then goes and teaches
a bunch of twelve and thirteen year olds. Sorry, pervert,
that's who. So I was never a Scout. I never
was into it. I don't I don't want to say,

(09:44):
don't condone it. I don't not condone it. But I've
always thought the organization was weird, especially when they didn't
allow girls. I'm like, this is too gay for me.
So Pete has said, Oh my god, didn't that just
make it worse? So Pete said that no more. The
US military will now not be involved, and he's invoking
the national security of our nation, saying that the troops

(10:09):
are needed elsewhere. Like what Venezuela, which seventy four percent
seventy four percent of people surveyed said they do not
support Donald Trump and his Venezuela folly a because he
has failed to tell us why we need to be there.
That's the first reason. They're like, well, what do we

(10:31):
need to be there for? So that was the first thing.
Pete Hegebegger, the guy that can't do four pull ups,
who says that the troops have to be more physically fit,
and yet isn't himself, the guy who looks like he
sleeps with men on the down low or at least
trans people, has decided that the Boy Scouts of America

(10:52):
is not masculine enough for the military to support anymore.
This is could you the story? I mean, there's an
I'm not making this up. There is a story in
the major media. The other story in major media that
isn't getting enough attention. Elon Musk has now made X

(11:18):
so you can see where the account is from. And
what we have found out is the top fifty MAGA
influencer accounts are not Americans. They're not MAGA, they're not Americans,
and some believe that they are in fact being paid

(11:40):
by Elon Musk to you know, to I don't know
what disrupt I guess, and so we have MAGA now
in a fit. But something Steve sent me this morning
just was so poignant, as a post by someone named

(12:02):
who is this Max? Someone Max Berger posted. If I'm
understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist,
Elon Musk, and he is X is owned by a
white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing
countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to

(12:24):
scare other white Americans into being afraid of poor people
of color from developing countries because they're going to ruin America.
And I laughed out loud because that is a perfect
description of exactly what's going on. Elon Musk and others
are paying individuals in other countries too, you know, be

(12:50):
MAGA and fearmonger people in our country. And that's just
the most amusing thing to me. It's the most amusing
thing to me. And it should be a bigger story.
It should be a much bigger story that you know,
MAGA has been duped, you know that really they have been.

(13:14):
They follow these accounts, they regurgitate what the account says
it shaped the election cycle both back in what twenty
sixteen and twenty twenty four, and no one's accountable because

(13:35):
Elon Musk is the world's richest man. So basically it
tells us that this election was bought and paid for
by Elon Musk for Donald Trump, that Elon Musk messed
with the voting machines, because he did, and Trump thanked
him for it publicly. I could play you the SoundBite
of Trump saying, thank you, Elon Musk. He sure knows
those computers. We won the Swing States, you know, every

(13:57):
Spring state, all in the same breath he said that,
which any person would then allude that Elon Musk had
something to do with Trump winning the Swing States with
those machines. And now we see that he paid people
in China, Rumania, Indonesia, all over the place to pretend
to be MAGA accounts spread disinformation, and these gullible maggots

(14:22):
just gobbled it up like it was real. This is
a huge scandal, quite frankly, and if they were a
TV network or a newspaper, they'd be put out of business.
But it's just some platform owned by the world's richest man.
So it's untouchable. But they literally created fake MAGA accounts,

(14:46):
turned them into huge influential accounts that took money which
came from Elon no doubt, so Trump could win, so
other maggots could win, and so it seemed like all
the info out there was MAGA, when it's all fake,
and that's what Trump is, and that's what MAGA is.

(15:08):
It's fake patriotism, it's smoke and mirrors, it's deflection and dodging,
it's misinformation, and it's outrage for outrage sake. It's all contrived,
it's all manufactured, and these seventy seven million people fell
right into it because they are of low intelligence. About

(15:31):
one percent of MAGA is not low intelligence. They're the
ones taking advantage of the other ninety nine percent of MAGA,
and that other ninety nine percent are people of lower
intelligence and impossible critical thinking, because anyone that stays with
a party where the leader is a criminal, where the

(15:52):
leader does not do what he pledges he was going
to do when he got into office, and he hasn't
done any of it, and then you find out that
the information that you've been receiving is fake, manufactured and
from a foreign entity, and you still stay with that party.
You don't have the brains of a rock. And it's

(16:17):
okay to say that because it's in evidence. So today
we find out the Boy Scouts aren't masculine enough, that
the US government no longer wants to help or supply
needs for the Boy Scouts because they're not masculine enough,
because they don't have enough places for the boys to

(16:38):
quote be boys, because they allow girls in, and because
they want diversity, equity, and inclusion included in being a Scout.
Heaven forbid, you should create well rounded young men. So
Peter Hegeberger is saying, Nope, that's it. Then we find
out that a majority of the information that MAGA is

(17:00):
getting about MAGA is not from MAGA but from people
in other countries being paid by someone like Elon Musk
to spread in misinformation. You know, as I said yesterday,
this is truly the Wizard of Oz. MAGA is the

(17:21):
party behind the curtain, and they are a party of facades.
They're not real, they're not grounded in anything. Their leader
is fake with no power. I mean, he has no
real power except what the Office of the Presidency gives him.
He's not a powerful man. And they just follow along,

(17:42):
just blindly. Go read the comments on my TikTok videos.
They're still picking on my teeth, still calling me queer,
still calling picking on my neck, still you know, still
calling me names. And yet I'm proving beyond the shadow
of a doubt that their leader is a fraud, their
movement is a fraud, The information that they consume is fraudulent,

(18:06):
and they're too stupid to realize it. Great, It's like Ukraine.
Why couldn't they stop Ukraine four days after it started?
Why now is Trump and Zolenski and Putin. Every war
is just old people fighting, and the war ends, and

(18:27):
young people dying, and the war ends when those old
people finally decide it serves no purpose. Israel is still
at war. They're still killing gossins in Ukraine. Russia is
still killing Ukrainians, and it'll stop when the white guys
Trump and Putin and some white guys from Europe decide that, okay,

(18:52):
it doesn't serve us anymore to have this war that's ended.
If men can end a war after two or three years,
they could have ended it after two or three days.
It shows you that wars end when they're no longer
advantageous for the people that started them, and that it
has nothing to do with principle, it has nothing to

(19:13):
do with sovereignty, and everything to do with money and
land and resources where earth, minerals, oil, water, whatever it
might be, and that they end when the rich white
guys say they end. That's why I would never fight one.
I would never go to war for the United States

(19:34):
unless we were being actually attacked, unless there were people
coming onto our shores and attacking us. That's it. That's
the only reason I'd go to war. Everything else is
just white people fighting, and they decide when it can end.
Anything that can be ended by rich guys deciding it's
over that lasts longer than a week is ridiculous. But

(19:59):
Ukraine generated They did lots of money, lots billions and
billions of dollars all told, for who arms dealers, armstealers.
That's all Ukraine is. It's a funnel for armstealers. And
once there's not enough money in it anymore, they'll stop it.

(20:20):
So there must not be much money in it now,
because now they're talking about stopping it. They could have
stopped it a year ago. They could have stopped it
two days after it started. But no, now we can
stop it. Why what's been accomplished? What has changed? Nothing?
They could have ended it a year ago. Oh, they

(20:40):
could have ended it in January on day one, like
Trump said, But did they?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
All right, let's check the chatroom at YouTube dot com
forward slash really Correl. That's YouTube dot com forward slash
really Correll. There's a real easy way to get to
my YouTube. You know. You just go to YouTube dot
reallycorrel dot com that it takes you right there. YouTube
dot really correll dot com then takes you right to
where you need to be. All right, when we come back,

(21:07):
let's talk some movies. It's the holidays. We got time
to watch movies. I got a whole bunch of screeners
over here that we can talk about. We are going
to talk about baby boomers and their biggest fears, and
is our transportation secretary right about blocks. We've got a
lot to talk about. Go anywhere. I'm gonna right back.
I promise I swear as God is as a boy by.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
No show.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
All right, Right, it's my favorite season screener. Season that's
like the holidays for me, because you gotta take time
to watch them all in the holidays is when you
have more time. And this is just right here. This
is just one supplier of screeners, just one studio. Each
studio sends their screeners. Now I get them all digitally,

(22:20):
yet some of them still send the DVDs. So I
Am going to go through some of these and you
can take notes. There'll be a quiz, no just kidding,
and tell you whether you should watch them, whether they
are any good, what I've heard about them, that sort
of stuff, because you know, we don't have to talk
politics all the time, especially during the holidays. Let's start

(22:40):
with and which studio is this? Neon No A twenty four.
A twenty four is a big studio. So this is
called Warfare. Okay, Warfare? Now, this movie is written by
Alex Garland, who also wrote the movie Civil War. If
you haven't seen that, you should. This movie was very
hard to watch. This movie called Warfare, and I mean
you why. It is shot like it took place in

(23:04):
real time. And you are with a group of embedded
soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq or Afghanistan, one hell hole
after another and they're two hours of being under attack,
and how they get out of that situation. Now. The
real soldiers involved in this helped the filmmakers make the

(23:27):
movie to give it realism, and it is very, very real.
And the fact that you watch it as if it's
real time, so there's no cutting back to backstories, there's
no memory. We call that. It's just like you have
a camera in the room for two hours with soldiers
in Iraq or Afghanistan. It was harrowing. It was hard

(23:50):
to watch. It made you realize what a waste Iraq
and Afghanistan were, how our soldiers should have never been there,
and what odds they were fighting, you know, because the
Afghanis had the home court advantage, as did the Iraqis,
you know, because they're used to fighting with nothing and

(24:11):
fighting inside of cities and all of that. So it's
called warfare. It's from Air twenty four. It's a good movie.
It's great performances in the movie by an entire you know,
all star cast. But at the same time, it was
hard to watch because you feel like you're in war.
You feel like you're in battle all right. Next to

(24:33):
May twenty four, this called Bring Her Back. It's a
horror movie. It's currently screening. It wasn't as horrific as
it could be. It's about a woman that wants to
raise her dead daughter from the dead. So she takes
two adoptive children in and starts practicing rituals on them
to raise her dead daughter from the dead. It's, you know,

(24:59):
as horror movie go on a scale of one to ten,
I'll give it a seven six, a six, A lot
of predictable, not as horror. It's no Exorcist. Okay, I
didn't have nightmares after watching it, but it was a
decent horror movie. It's called Bring Her Back all right
after the Hunt. Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, all kinds of people,

(25:21):
but Brian Grazer production. I have to tell you Julia Roberts,
she really can do no wrong because even though this
movie is probably a three out of four star movie,
maybe two and a half to three stars, her performance
is four stars. And the Girl from the Bear is

(25:44):
in here too, ao A Debiri and Chloe Savigny and
Andrew Garfield and so a lot of great actors. And
this is one of those movies that you we're missing nowadays,
which is every movie at the theater now is these
big you know, like Wicked or Marvel. No, this has

(26:05):
actors acting telling you a story. You know, nothing blows up,
there's no you know, there's nothing, no special effects. But
Julia Roberts incredible. All right, what else we got from
Age one to four? Materialist?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
It's a rom com. It's got what's his name, you know,
from the Avengers, speaking of the Avengers, Pedro Pascal h
And it's got Chris Evans. It's a really cute rom com.
But again it's it's almost a Hallmark movie or a
lifetime movie. We have two rich guys dating. She has

(26:41):
to decide which one she wants to go with. Obviously
you should have sex with Chris Evans, but Mary, Pedro Pascal,
I recommend it though. It was fun if you if
you like rom comms. Highest to lowest Denzel Washington as
a music executive. It's got action, it's got intrigue, gets,
you know, extortion, all that kind of stuff. He's great.

(27:04):
He sort of plays like Clarence Avont. I don't know
if you know who. Clarence Avant was, huge guy in music.
But it's good, it's streaming. I'd give it for four stars.
It's good. Called hyas to Lewis The Smashing Machine with
the Rock. I don't like the rock anymore ever since
he's gone Maga, but it's a great performance by him,

(27:24):
something unexpected. He plays a boxer and it's the true
story of a UFC legend. It's a movie by Benny Safti,
who is a great director. It didn't get a lot
of play because of the rock. There's rock backlash right now,
but it is a good film and it's called The

(27:45):
Smashing Machine. Eddington is the one you need to watch.
Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal. Set in a small town of Eddington.
It takes all the issues of the world, black Lives Matter, COVID,
it takes all of those and boil them down to
a very small town. You have the sheriff walking in
Phoenix who doesn't want to wear a COVID mask, who

(28:08):
doesn't like the Black Lives Matters protest, even though there's
eight people at the protest in his town. And you
have the mayor Pedro Pascal, who actually believes in COVID
and wearing masks and supports Black Lives Matters and all
that kind of stuff. But it boils it down to
a small town and it's really really cute, lots of dialogue,
great acting. It's called Eddington. I would definitely see that

(28:32):
this season if you haven't. The Legend of Oki. Really
great movie, The Legend of Oki. I can't really show
you the cover because it's green and my green screen
blares it out. But it's about a little girl who
takes this little creature called an Okie back to its home,
and it's about misinterpreting things because they all think the

(28:53):
Oki are bad, but they're not. But the beauty of
this film is no CGI was used. None, And when
you watch it, you wonder, how did they build these sets?
How did they have this puppet do these things? It
is remarkable. No CGI was used in the Legend of
ok O c hi really whimsical, has a very fairy

(29:16):
tale like, you know feel to it, and I would
the special effects would beyond belief. Emily Watson's in it
and you barely even recognize that Willem Dafoe is in it.
So yeah, Legend of ok five stars. Definitely watch it
all right. Those are the screeners we're going to go
through today. There are others we will go through at

(29:37):
other points, but those are what I would watch if
I were you, and ones that I wouldn't watch if
I were you. We'll be back with cartoons.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Let's give it a go. Corilla is the one that
you need to know.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
Now, it's show side.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Are we the problem with the airlines? Our Transportation Secretary
seems to think. So we're gonna talk about his recommendations.
Also ten fears, baby Boomer have that gen Y and
gen Z just don't get and talk about that as well.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
Uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
It's the coral Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
It is the welcome back to Part two, Part t So,
our Transportation Secretary has put out some guidelines for the
holidays for those of you flying now. He hasn't taken
airlines to task for canceling and not refunding, or for
treating you like chattel, or are the other things of

(31:20):
the horrible things that airlines do if you're not rich. Instead,
he wants to talk about you and I and the
first thing, and the reason is violence on airlines has
risen eleven hundred percent, not fifty percent, not one hundred percent,

(31:40):
not five hundred percent. Violence on airlines has risen eleven
hundred percent. While there used to be ten or twelve
incidents a year, now there's literally a thousand. There's worldwide.
There are just so many incidents now of people being
violent on planes, getting you've all seen the you've seen

(32:02):
the post. People yelling, people screaming, people being arrested, people
being pulled off for various all kinds of different reasons.
Some it's someone's wearing a MAGA shirt or someone's wearing
a mega hat, or someone's you know, kicking the back
of your seat or somebody you know or whatever. Whatever.
Violence has written risen on airlines, and many, many, many

(32:23):
people that work on the airlines say they, you know,
stewardess or a flight attendant. Sorry, uh, they say that
they are not. They don't feel safe anymore because each
of them has experienced a passenger getting out of control.
They have literally had to duct tape passengers to their seats,

(32:44):
and this just didn't happen prior, and now it is happening.
So to combat that our Secretary of Defense has come
up with some ideas. One is, we should dress up
better to get on a plane, and you know what,
but I think there's something to that, But I understand
why we don't. Okay, Now, in the early days of flying,

(33:08):
flying was glamorous and when you got on board, it
was beautiful. You had gorgeous seats, and they gave you
wonderful service, and you know, everybody was dressed up, and
it was you know, men wore suits and women wore
dresses and and you know, but it was a different
flying experience than it is now, where you're crammed in
and have to wait to get on and got to

(33:29):
be there two hours early. And then you get on
the plane, you're crammed in and you gotta you know,
fight for overhead bin space and all this. So it
was a different flying experience. However, I do believe flying
has become like Walmart when it comes to what people wear.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Now.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I am all for dressing comfortably to fly, absolutely absolutely,
but you can be comfortable and still not be a slob.
I have seen people get on planes literally in their pajamas,
not making this up. In their pajamas. I get it.
You want to be comfortable, it's a long flight whatever. However, again,

(34:12):
you can be comfortable and still look nice. You don't
have to wear a shirt. I mean it not well,
if you're ripped, you don't have to wear a suit,
but you could wear a polo shirt or you could
wear you know something. But nowadays it's T shirt and sweats.
It's shorts, it's sandals that you can slip off under

(34:32):
your seat. It's people do not dress to fly. They
just don't. Now, if you're flying business or first class,
there is a dress code, but for coach there isn't.
And our tran transportation secretary thinks there ought to be.
I'd love your comments on that because I actually kind

(34:56):
of believe I do that there should be some decorum,
you know, there really should be. And I don't know
if that's classiest or what now, but it goes both ways.
If airlines want to be respected, if they want their

(35:20):
crews to be respected, then they need to act like
they respect us, the passengers. And that's where the breakdown is.
We are not acting like airlines deserve our respect because
they don't give us any. Look at Frontiers and that
other airline, what is it it's yellow forget, but I

(35:42):
never take it. But there's Frontiers and then that other one,
the low spirit. Not only do they not give you respect,
they treat you like dirt. They treat you like absolute
dirt unless you pay for this perk or that perk
and perks are really.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Corell dot com Daily you're missing out.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Get the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at

Speaker 5 (36:09):
That's really k A R e l dot com.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Correll is
so near because show time is here.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Correll is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
I agree with Sandy in the chatroom at YouTube dot
com Really Correll, and I said this, one of the
reasons we are not dressing to fly is because coach
is so cramped, so crowded, and so uncomfortable. We don't
want we want to be as comfortable as we can
be getting on the plane because we know we're about
to be put through a harrowing and harrowing event. However,

(36:55):
look again, I'll wear sweats on a plane. I will,
but I'll also wear it with a nicer shirt. When
I say nicer. I' you usually mean like a polo
pullover or you know, something like I'm wearing now you
know something like this. I don't wear T shirts. I
don't wear pajamas. I don't you know I wear you know,
something i'd go out to the store in. Now. Do

(37:18):
I get dressed up? Yes, if I'm in business or
first I get dressed up, I look nice. I look
like Corell the entertainer. You know. I might have some flowy,
baggy thing on, or I might have something, you know,
very nice on. If I'm in coach, it comfortable pants,
maybe not sweats, but linen pants, pants that are comfortable,

(37:41):
and some sort of pullover shirt. Not a button up shirt,
but some sort of pullover shirt, but a nice one.
Not you know, just a white T shirt or some
T shirt with some riding on it or something like that.
I'd love your thoughts about this. The airlines want us
to respect them more. They want us to dress nicer.

(38:02):
They want us to say please and thank you to
the flight attendants. That's something the transportory secretary recommended that
we say please and thank you to the flight attendants,
to the staff.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Look.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
I've had staff at Southwest airlines shout at me and
tell me to stop shouting when I wasn't shouting at them, sir,
if you don't, actually, I'm not gonna be I'm like, ma'am,
I'm just asking you a question. If you don't like
your freaking job, get a new one. But if you
say that to them, suddenly you're being unruly. They are

(38:34):
too quick now to call the passengers unruly, because sometimes
a passenger has every right to be upset, and they're
in the service industry. If they don't want to have
to deal with unruly passengers, get a new job. But
why are we turning so unruly on airplanes? I lay

(38:55):
the blame with the airlines, their lack of respect. They're
they're stripping us now. They want us to stand up
and do these stand up seats. They are stripping us
of any kind of comfort, any kind of amenities, all
in the name of prophet. And subsequently they're getting people

(39:16):
who don't respect the whole ordeal of flying. Flying is
a privilege, it's not a right. You don't have a
right to fly unless you're a bird or a bee
or an insect that flies. As a human, you have
no right to fly. It's a privilege. But they don't
treat us like it's a privilege to serve us. They

(39:40):
treat us like we're an imposition, and so now we're
behaving like impositions because that's how they treat us. You know,
flight attendants can be nice or they can be some
of the bitchiest people you've ever met. I once asked
a flight atendant if I can move seats with my infant,
and she told me that if I do, and shut up,

(40:00):
the police that meet me at the gate. Exactly. Yep,
that's where they are now. You try to ask them
a simple question and they call you unruly. You quite
You know, they don't they they have created this problem.
You know, they have created this problem. No, I don't

(40:21):
believe that's impossible at all. In the chat room, I
believe that totally happened to you. I've had them. One time.
They were so rude to me about Ember that the
two people seated by me told them to stop. I
did the check in. I always have her paperwork. I
always have the TSA service animal form. I always have

(40:43):
her regular form that she is a real service animal,
all of that. I always have her medical charge. I
have everything when I fly with Ember, and normally I
don't get crap. Southwest Airlines twice has given me crap
and came on and came on when we were about
to take off and embarrassed me because of Ember. Well,
let's see all your paperwork, ma'am. They already checked this

(41:06):
at the guest at the gate. As you see on
my ticket it stay. There's a code on the ticket
that says service animal. Well there's two animals on this
plane and we only have one that's supposed to be here.
So one of you is lying. And I said, well, ma'am,
it's not me, and all of her forms are up
in the carry on, you know, and we're about to

(41:26):
take off. They held the plane and they were so
rude about it that two people by me said, hey,
you don't have to be that rude to him. He's complying,
he's being nice. They told them to shut up and
sit down. When I called Southwest about that, they refunded

(41:47):
my flight. But they broke the law. They literally broke
the American the Disabilities Act law with what they did.
So I believe when you say that you asked if
you can move with your child, and they said shut
up or they'll have police asc I believe it. And
they say the problem is us. We're not dressing appropriately.

(42:08):
We're not being grateful to the flight attendants. There's no
pleas and thank you, there's no courtesy. Well, if you
want courtesy, then be courteous. The airline employees are no
longer courteous at all, like at all. Five percent of them,

(42:29):
ninety five percent of turned into assholes. Now they'll say
we turn them into assholes, And maybe we did, but
that's how they are now. They are so ready for
a fight. They are so ready that you're going to
be the one that they're going to have to have
esquirted off the plane. But our transportation secretary says, it's
our fault. We're not dressing well, we're not being courteous.

(42:52):
So he wants us all to dress up to get
on a plane. Well, then give me better service. That's
like asking you to dress up to go to McDonald's.
You're going to fucking McDonald's. You ain't going to a
nice restaurant. If you're going on frontiers. The airline, they're
lucky people don't show up naked. And the way they
search you when you go through the you know, I'm

(43:13):
surprised there aren't naked airlines because they you know, they
just search you and search you. Uh so, yeah, it was.
It was horrible what they did to me a member
on that plane. It really was terrible that they were
so rude to me, and she was already under the
seat asleep, inner thing. And they did find the other
person on the plane with the dog who had lied.

(43:35):
They were nice to them. They were rude to me,
and yet I'm the one that had all the paperwork,
had the proper coat on my ticket, the whole thing. Yeah,
with mess all right. I wanted to share with you
something that I read that was really interesting to me,
and it was ten fears that boomers have that gen
Z and Jen why that they don't you know, understand.

(43:59):
There's also ten things that boomers say that upsets them,
but let's start with the ten fears. I read this
and it was really moving. I thought, oh my god,
So these are fears that boomers have that gen Y
and gen Z don't understand secause we've been young, so
we already know what they're going through. They haven't been old.

(44:21):
They don't know what we're going through, and so they
judge us online, there's a big boomer move that member,
okay boomer and all of that. So fear number one
that boomer's experience. And you tell me in the comments
if these sound familiar. Fear of becoming irrelevant. Many boomers
grow up in a world that change steadily, not at

(44:43):
the breakneck speed we see today. So when everything from
communication to creativity to community suddenly lives through screens, it
can make them feel the world is moving on without them.
This isn't about not knowing how to use an app.
This is them actually feeling their identity slipping away. I
fear being irrelevant. I really do. It's hard to get

(45:07):
relevance in today's society. Number two fear of running out
of time. A man, young people have no fucking clue
what that feels like. I remember being twenty and thirty.
You didn't feel like you felt like yet all the
time in the world. At sixty three, you know you don't,
and you fear running out of time, that you're not
going to be done, You're not going to accomplish what

(45:28):
you want, You're not going to be done. You're going
to fear running out of time. Number three is a
big fear, fear of the loss of independence, gen x,
jen Y, gen alpha, gen Z. They really don't understand that.
I've seen medical shows where older people in their eighties

(45:50):
they don't want to go to the hospital with the
paramedics because they're afraid if they leave their home with
the paramedics, they won't come back. They'll be sent off
to a hall home, they'll be kept in the hospital
or the or they'll die. Fear of losing independence, that's
a big fear that young people don't understand. Fear of

(46:12):
financial instability after retirement. Again, that's something that young people
just don't understand, and it's a very real fear. These
fears that they're talking about here, they're not unfounded. Fears
of becoming irrelevant, that's not unfounded. Fear of running out
of time, that's not unfounded. You are, fear of losing independence,

(46:36):
that's certainly not unfounded. Fear of financial instability even after retirement,
that's not, you know, unfounded. Boomers have lived through plenty
of hard times, but they're afraid of the instability and
the sense that things no longer follow the rules. Amen.

(46:57):
Fear of losing your community. Wow, and that's a fear
that again isn't unfounded. You do lose your community, Your
world shrinks as you age, and you fear that in
loneliness becomes a big issue. Fear that the world they
built is being criticized, not evolved a men. Younger generations

(47:23):
seem that they're trying to erase the world that we built. Yep,
they do, and so here we built this world and
they're like, well that's worlds shit, we need a new one.
Number seven. Fear of being a burden. I think that

(47:43):
goes with fear of losing independence. But yes, we all
feel we don't want to be a burden to our
families or to our loved ones, or to our kids
or grandkids or nieces or nephews or friends. We just
don't want to be. Fear that technology will erase human connection.
It is that fear is grounded in reality. There's nothing.

(48:04):
Boomers worry that deeper connection is disappearing, and since they
value relationships strongly, this fear is emotional, not logical. Well,
it's pretty logical to me, because technology is erasing human connection.
Fears that their stories won't matter a men. A men.

(48:26):
We feel like our memories are buried in a world
that no longer needs them. Amen. You know, as an
older gay person, I see that our stories as older
gay people, it doesn't matter to the young gays anymore.
They criticize us, they beraate us. If we happen to
go into one of their clubs, They're like, what are
you doing here? You're too old? They act like our

(48:48):
stories of stonewall and stories of fighting for same sex
marriage and the AIDS epidemic, like that they don't matter anymore.
Well that was years ago. They do matter, but to
many they don't and fear of losing their sense of purpose.
That's the one that hit home for me. I am

(49:08):
struggling with that one. I'm trying to find my new
purpose in this part of my life. I don't is
it to be the biggest, baddest entertainer in the world,
Is it to be the most successful singer, authored, dancer, comedian, whatever?
What is my purpose? Was my purpose on earth to
help further gays and lesbians by being so out and

(49:30):
so visible and to give people like you someone to
connect with every day and make you feel less alone?
Is that my purpose? I'm struggling with my purpose right
now where I need to be and what I need
to be doing, where in the world I need to be,
and what I need to be doing in that spot.
I have a lot of these fears. Fears of losing purpose,

(49:52):
fears that our stories won't matter, fears that technology will
erase human connection, fear of being a burden, fear that
the world has been, that the world we made is
being criticized, not evolved, fear of losing community, fear of
financial instability, fear of losing independence, fear of running out
of time, and of course, fear of being irrelevant. I

(50:13):
have many of those fears. Do you if you're over
fifty five or sixty? Does do any of those sound familiar?
You know? And a lot of younger people have these
fears too, gen X gen X because boomers, I think
boomers end should end at like fifty nine, and gen

(50:35):
X should be people born in the sixties and seventies.
If you're born in the seventies, you know you're in
your fifties. So I think these apply to people in
their forties, fifties, sixties and up. I do believe that teenagers,
twenties and thirty somethings have a real problem understanding this.

(50:56):
They also get upset with us when we say certain
things like well, why don't you just call them? They
get upset at us to that because you know, they're like, well,
you know, didn't you use carrier pigeons? They don't use
that anymore. So technology has evolved. Where do you know
that seventy one percent of cell phone users don't call
people on the phone. Seventy one percent don't call their friends.

(51:23):
So when you say why don't you just call them?
They get a little to that.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
State.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
No show side, you know, some is I think my
purpose really is just to take care of Ember. That's
what it's like, Well, you have to do, you know.

(52:05):
So this has struck a nerve. A lot of you
in the chat room are talking about this at YouTube
dot com. Ford sashually Corell. I'd love to hear comments
down below. And by the way, you don't have to
be a boomer to have these fears. You know, a
lot of these fears are relevant if you're over forty
forty five, fifty, fifty five, sixty, you know, because old
age is now forty and above in today's society. You know,

(52:26):
they look at people forty and think they're old. My
friend Devin just turned forty. He's oh, I'm old. I
go forty is not old. I wish I was forty again.
You know, so you could be a gen xer and
not a boomer and have these fears. Okay, so don't
even though the story was labeled boomers, I'm telling you

(52:48):
that gen xers could have these fears too. Anyone aging,
anyone above forty five or fifty has these fears. Okay,
they just they do. So it's not get hung up
on the whole boomer thing. Okay, I believe it's just
anyone aging. They also get mad if we say you
just don't want to work that hard, because they say

(53:08):
you don't understand how we work. Now that YouTube is work.
Being an influencer is a job. You know that the
corporate hustle that you guys grew up with, we don't
want that. They also say that, you know, we won't
accept what you guys accepted, you know, drudgery jobs that

(53:29):
took all of your life and left you no time
for living and all of that. They act like we
fucking wanted to do that. This is my problem with
young people. They condemn the work and how we used
to work at the same time, they don't realize we
didn't want to be doing that. Corporate America did not
give us a fucking choice. We couldn't become an influencer

(53:51):
on Instagram or YouTube. We had bills to pay, and
we had to pay for their snotty little diapers, and
there's snotty little noses. All right, put down your phone
and look around. They get mad when we say that
at them, because they say they are looking around. They're
just looking around a different way. Gen Z sees the

(54:11):
phone as a tool. They say, shaming us for too
much screen time is like shaming someone in nineteen sixty
five for using a landline too much. Well, my parents did,
how many times did you hear? Get off that damn phone.
They don't like when we say back in my day either.
They don't like that. They say, look, they say it's

(54:35):
a judgment. When you say back in my day, you're
judging us. It dismisses the realities in favor of a
rose colored past. Kids these days are too soft. They
don't like when we say that, because they're too soft.

(54:55):
If you get upset because someone says kids these days
are too soft, you're too fucking soft. You can't make
a living doing that. People, you know, they say, yes,
we can six figures, and you know, blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. They get why would
you post that online? They don't understand why we would
criticize that. They will when they try to get a

(55:16):
job in the future and their dick pics come back
to haunt them. So, yeah, they get upset when we
say things nowadays, But oh well, we got upset when
our parents said stuff too. I think that's just the way, right.
But going back to the fears as you age, I
think the number one thing is purpose, and I think
that tie some of those fears tie into each other,

(55:37):
like relevance and purpose tie into each other. If you
fear you're becoming irrelevant, it's because you've lost your sense
of purpose. We know you live longer if you have
a sense of purpose, and that can be just getting
up to take care of your pets. By the way,
that could be your sense. My purpose is my dogs.
If that's your purpose, great, let's check the chat. Gen

(56:01):
Z believes baby boomers had a relatively easier path to
do higher cost and consequent delay of personal milestones. I
have experienced this backlash personally. Oh yeah, no, I've experienced
the backlash from the gen z and the gen Y's
when I talk about not every you know, like, oh god,
everyone's a podcaster now, and everyone's a broadcaster now. They're like, yeah,

(56:22):
we are, and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
No, you're not.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
You're not. You've paid zero dues, you know nothing about
the medium, you know nothing about the format. You know,
you don't just jump in and yeah, Andrew and I
jumped in. But I was an entertainer prior to being
on talk radio, and it's very much the same. But
someone who's never entertained a person in their life, someone

(56:46):
who's never given public speeches, someone who doesn't you know,
and suddenly they're a podcaster. Oh okay, yeah, no you're not.
You're a wannabe. And they don't like what can I
say that? And yeah, wannabes can make a ton of money.
Ben Shapiro is a horrible broadcaster, terrible. I'd never put

(57:08):
him on radio ever, Budd he makes a shit ton
of money. Charlie Kirk was a horrible podcast host. Alex
Jones a terrible show just as a show, terrible. But
they make a ton of money. When we got a
cordless phone, she lost her mind.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Oh I know.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Remember your parents used to find you by following the
cord to the room. Oh yes, I feel empty without
my dog Carell. Well, because you, Parson, you are get
another one plenty out there wanting you to love them.
All right, yes, so those are that's right. Relatives don't
call you anymore nowadays. A relative post on Facebook or whatever,

(57:55):
and they think that's keeping up with the family. They
think that's staying in touch. By the way, I call people.
I call Steve, I call Heather, I call Tyler, I
call Hannah. We actually speak on the phone. I call
my sister. I do I call people. I still believe

(58:18):
a because texts have no inflection, and I believe a
personal conversation is the best. So I call people. And
I know that's out of date. I know it's old,
but whatever, I do it. And there's something to hearing
someone's voice. But relatives barely call each other now. Well,

(58:39):
I posted on Facebook. Didn't you see I was having
the Thanksgiving? Why didn't you come? You didn't call and
invite me? Well, now I invited everybody on Facebook. They
all think we're a bunch of get off my lawn.
But guess what, if you want a green lawn, you
got to keep people off of it. Now, I would

(59:00):
never tell people to get off my lawn. It's grass.
Play on it, have a good time, dig it up,
tear it up. We'll plant new I wasn't that person,
but I get it. You know, nowadays they act like, oh,
I don't have to do anything to keep everything nice.
Someone will keep it nice for me. No, it's your
responsibility to keep Look what they're doing to the planet.

(59:22):
I am carell who you want to be, so I
don't hurt Anyboddy. We're back tomorrow, but have a happy
Thanksgiving in case you don't check in, we'll be back
on Monday as well, next week and all of that,
but we will be taping shows for Christmas, so in
the end of December. Meanwhile, leave your comment like subscribe.
