🔻 MAGA Meltdown: Chaos, Hypocrisy & the Real “Wicked” Message | Karel Cast
MAGA is having a full-on identity crisis — and today’s episode breaks down the bizarre contradictions.
First, Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she’s leaving Congress, apologizes for “being crazy,” and claims she won’t be Trump’s battered spouse anymore. Then Donald Trump suddenly cozies up to Zohran Mamdani — the same man he called a communist who would destroy New York. The flip-flop is wild.
Meanwhile, “America First” seems to mean everywhere but America as prices keep rising, health care becomes unaffordable, and MAGA leadership looks the other way.
Plus: “Wicked” is crushing the box office, but are audiences missing the real message? The film mirrors our own politics — a powerless man behind the curtain, silencing critics and vilifying anyone who challenges the narrative.
And it’s #PetPeeveMonday: Welcome to the era of professional ghosting. No one answers emails anymore until they need something — why has communication collapsed?

(02:02):
I don't think she has as of yet. Oh my goodness,
Christmas Hanukah. That's all common. It's all here and it's
a big day for gifts for James Comy and Letitia.
James Judge said, you know what this attorney you got?
Where did you get this attorney? Did you like, did
you just see a billboard and you know, hire the attorney.

(02:23):
It's like, oh no, uh uh so case dismissed. Now
I'm sure that Trump will oh we're gonna refile and
well yeah whatever whatever. So before we get to MAGA
melting down, and they are. Marjorie Taylor Green is the
first rat to jump off the ship. We've got Trump,
you know, not putting America first, which is pissing off

(02:46):
his base. Now we've got the Komy prosecution just falling apart.
Maga's falling to pieces. Before we get to that, I'm
gonna have some fun because I don't want to just
start with all this heavy shit. So I'm late today
in part because, as I told you, if anything goes
technically wrong and I get right up to the time,

(03:09):
I don't have the time to fix it. Well, that
happened today. I got right up to the time I
got through the door at nine fifty ten till ten,
so I took the fastest shower in the world and
got in here, and then I had a technical problem,
so I couldn't begin right at ten. If I hadn't
had a technical problem, I would have been able to.
But let me tell you why I'm late, because I

(03:31):
know some of you can relate, and I want to
talk to you all about it. I want you to
put your comments down below about it. I want you
to comment in the chat room about it. And it's
not political. So this morning, I'm doing my breakfast. Every morning,
I do my breakfast, you know, my oatmeal and my
walnuts and you know, the crasins and a cup of fruit,
and then tea in a beautiful tea set. This morning
was chocolate mint tea from Harney and suns. And I

(03:54):
do my breakfast with Ember. She gets her food, she
eats on her chair. I eat on my chair. Then
she comes and sits next to me in a chair
and gets little treats while I eat. And then I
went in the kitchen to clean. Of course, because I
clean up right after I eat, I don't there's no
dirty dishes. So I go to open the refrigerator to
put cream back, and I realized the refrigerator looks like

(04:16):
a frickin third world nation in there. I'm like, you
know there there, I knew there were living creatures somewhere
up in there. And it's like this is just bad. Now. Look,
I'm a vegan, So my refrigerator is filled with meat
and vegetable I'm sorry, with fruits and vegetables and then
vegan proteins like sitan and tofu and all of that.
And so I looked at it and I thought, this

(04:36):
is hideous. I can't. I can't go one more second
with this refrigerator looking like this, and it was just
cleaned last week, and it's like, I just can't. So,
and I have a food composter, but you've got to
chop all the stuff up small. I wish there was
like a kitchen grinder that I could throw it all in,
grind it up and then put it in the in
the composter. But you got to grind it up small.

(05:00):
So I emptied the fridge. I emptied it, and as
I'm doing it, I'm going this is gonna make you late.
You didn't get up till six, You're normally up at five.
You and Umber didn't wake up till six, and now
you're cleaning the refer But I couldn't. I couldn't leave
it one more moment the way that it was. How
many of you can relate, and I'll just mean about refrigerators.

(05:22):
But no matter what's going on, no matter who's waiting
for you, there are some things that sometimes just like nope,
I'm going to do this now. So I emptied out
the refrigerator. I got rid of all the leftovers and
the half a egg plant that had things growing on
it and just all kinds of stuff, chopped it all up,
put it in the compost bin, and then of course
cleaned the you know, the bins and everything. And then

(05:44):
I saw the floor and I'm like, so I got
the kitchen rag and I'm down there on the floor
cleaning the floor at like seven forty five this morning,
thinking to myself, you know, Beyonce was just here in Vegas.
Someone was the last time she cleaned anything? I really did.

Speaker 8 (06:00):
Really corell dot com daily you're missing out. Get the
podcast videos and the blug including recipes at really correll
dot com. That's really ka r e l dot com.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corell is
so near because show time is here. So on with
the show.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Let's give it a go.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Corell is the one.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
That you need to know.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
All right, we are back. Sorry. I was reading the
chat room. Hi from Brevard, North Carolina, High North Carolina.
We got people in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Northern California, Portland, Oregon.
My mom would say, I'm like horse crap spread out
all over, honey. All right. So yeah, so I you know,
so I cleaned the refrigerator and then I had to.
Then I literally got on my hands and knees with

(06:55):
a with a dish rag and clean the floor, clean
the mats. I have two matts the kitchen. Cleaned the floor,
and I'm oh, this is gonna make you late. You
got up an hour late. You don't have time for this.
But how many of you have OCD in just some
way and like you can't like? Okay, So before we
get to all the breaking political news of the day,

(07:15):
of which there's plenty, I have this thing. Okay, I
watch a lot of murder death Kill TV, A ton
of it, just every day, every day, from Snap to
I'm Married a Psycho to I mean just literally, I
watch a ton of reality murder tapes, which is all
body cam footage from cops. I watch it all, and

(07:37):
one thing that always, you know, gets me is when
they go to a victim's house, okay, and the house
is a frickin' mess, And I say to myself, you
walked out of the house with that mess. Your bed's
not made, your kitchen's got dirty dishes in this thing.
So I now when I leave my house it is

(07:58):
presentable to a guest. Because sometimes I'll meet someone at
the park and say come back and have tea like
Tyler when I met Tyler or Janie or whatever, you know,
come back and have tea or come to it. So
when I leave, the house has to be presentable. It
can't be not presentable. And that's just a thing. I

(08:18):
you clean the kitchen, pick up the living room, make
sure the bathroom's you know, not a mess. I have
to every time before I leave the house. I have
to make sure that the house is presentable. Because if
I'm ever murdered or killed or something and the cops
have to come to my house, I will not have
them talk in trash about me. Oh well, look at this.

(08:39):
I thought gay people kept a better house than uh
uh No, not gonna happen. Okay, if the cops come
because I've been killed or put in the hospital or something,
uh huh. Like when I went to the ICU with
my heart and Steve had to come to the house
and get some things for me. Imagine if he walked
into the house was dirty. Uh uh no, new I

(09:00):
would just die. So that's my thing. We are gonna
do pet peeves later. But that's that's why I'm a
little bit late. So okay, So we've got Yes, there
were science experiments going on in my refrigerator. So we've
got Maga melting down, Maga's melting. Courts are ruling Maga's melting.

(09:25):
Now this I planned this topic before this morning, when
Komi's case was dismissed and Letitia James was dismissed. I'm
sure that's gonna push them over the edge because Marjorie
Taylor Green, I know a lot of you are saying, oh,
maybe she won't fully resign, or maybe she's gonna run
for pread whatever. It sends a message that the ranks

(09:46):
are breaking up. You know that they're breaking up. And
now we have so many of his prosecutions just falling apart,
just falling apart. And what is he doing to put
America first? Maybe going to war with Venezuela, what is

(10:06):
he doing to put America first? Negotiating a bad deal
that's not gonna happen. They keep saying, Oh, this Ukraine
deal is gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen. Haney Zelenski
is not gonna give up the area that they have taken.
They're not gonna They're not He's not gonna give up
land and nor should he. And he's not going to

(10:27):
have a peace deal without some kind of assurances that
there's a security for us to make sure Russia doesn't
do it all again. And no matter how Trump huffs
and puffs, he cannot tell Zelenski what to ultimately do.
And that pisses Trump off because Europe is behind Zelenski,
not the United States. So yes, major headline. Judge orders

(10:49):
James Comy's case dismissed after finding top prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
What do you know?

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Another unlawful thing from the Trump and administration. Yet another
unlawful thing from Donald Trump? What do you know? What
do you know? Now? The Pentagon says they're going to
probe misconduct allegations against Senator Mark Kelly because that's a
good use of our time and money. They are so vindictive,

(11:20):
these people, you know, cash Pttel and what's her name,
Christy Nome came to this Grand Prix here in Las
Vegas this weekend, which had me in traffic, So I
missed my zoom call with my listeners, my patreons, and
I'm sorry, but I got to tell you this to
get into that paddock was fifteen thousand dollars. The workers
in that paddock can barely afford rent or food here

(11:44):
in Las Vegas, and they're serving these people Beyonce and
Mark Wahlberg and all of this, and Vegas is all, oh, look,
how great the Grand Prix was. I'm sorry, Vegas needs
to get a clue. You know, fifteen hundred dollars states
to watch a car race you can see on television.
And then there was this big lie. Disney did this

(12:06):
whole thing at the Bellagio fountains with Mickey Mouse and
the water and the fireworks, and they did it like
it was live. And yet there were people in front
of the fountain watching, going, this is not going on
right now. This is taped, but they acted like it
was live. But here we had Christy Nome in Las
Vegas when Ice has literally pulled people out of hotels

(12:30):
off the Vegas Strip. Cash Patel these people, and I
bet they flew private. I bet they flew out from
DC private. I bet they did. Petregon threatens to recall
Senator Mark Kelly to military service for Court Marshall. Court
Marshall m in the video that he said, don't obey

(12:56):
illegal orders. So here you have a group of people
that MAGA is supposed to love our military, right, Oh, MAGA,
they're all love the military. We're patriots. So here they
have a group of people who actually served in the military, okay,
like most of MAGA has not, including the president, saying

(13:17):
don't obey illegal orders. Follow the constitution. You take an
oath to the constitution, not to the president. So if
you hear an illegal order, don't do it. And what
do they want to do to the people that we're
in the military that served that said don't obey illegal orders.

(13:40):
They want to prosecute them. Can you imagine prosecuting someone
for telling people not to obey illegal orders. This is
the upside down world we live in. Because MAGA is unraveling.
Donald Trump is like yarn at a kitten star. You know,

(14:01):
he is unraveling, and so is his administration. And it's
incredible to see. It's it's quite wonderful to see, you know,
it's just wonderful. So that's that's some good news. This morning.
We got the prosecution dropping cases or we've got a
judge throwing out cases against James Comey, which he would

(14:25):
have been found not guilty anyway. Uh and against Letitia
James out. You appointed a lawyer who was an illegal appointee.
And you know, I'm sure the White House we're gonna refly.
They're spending so much political capital. Meanwhile, what's really going

(14:46):
on in the country. Gas prices are up near four
dollars a gallon. Groceries for Thanksgiving are higher than they've
ever been. No matter what the deluded Donald dementia says,
we've got states. I gave Randy Raidar miss information yesterday.
I told him all states had distributed their SNAP benefits.
This morning chat GPT told me, no, they have not.

(15:08):
So it is the middle or almost end of November
and people still haven't gotten all their Snap benefits. The
three days before Thanksgiving. We've got health premiums about to triple,
quadruple go through the roof. If MAGA had the brains
God gave them, as my mom would say, and they don't.

(15:30):
But if they did, they would turn on this guy
faster than Joan Crawford slapped Christina. I mean truly, they
they would just turn on this guy because he's doing nothing.
He said he was going to do nothing. In fact,
he's doing the exact opposite of everything. He ran on

(15:54):
he's not making the borders safer. Instead, he's separating families.
He's destroying Holmes. Hasn't affected the economy at all. You
don't get better health care now because the illegals aren't
taking it. So he's done nothing that he's promised. Instead,

(16:15):
he's tried to turn this into a military state, prosecuting
all of his enemies and then fawning over Mendami like
a schoolgirl. I thought he was going to blow Mendami
right there in the Oval office. I really did. I
thought he was going to do a Clinton and Mendami
would have been Clinton and Trump would have been Monica.
I truly believed it, the way he was like fawning

(16:37):
over him. Magus furious about that. Oh god, how could
Trump fawn over Memdami after calling him a communist and this,
that and the other thing. But there he was like
a little giddy school group. Oh, go ahead, say I'm
a fascist. It's okay. Did you see that exchange? Oh
my god. Our reporter was like, you've been known to

(16:58):
call him a fascist? After this meeting, you still feel
he's a fascist. And he goes what I said was
and Trump's saw, Oh it's too hard to explain. Just
say it, just say yes. I'm like, you're telling him
to tell the media he still believes you're a fascist.
It was like a schoolgirl. Oh go ahead, honey, go ahead,

(17:19):
just say yes. Don't even bother me that. Oh I
don't care, call me whatever you like. It was kind
of nauseating. Actually, I'm like, oh my god, he's got
like a man crush. Well, MANDAMMI is cute. He is.
I'd have sex with him, certainly, you know. And I
don't care the he's a socialist. I love socialism. I
think democratic socialism is what should take over the country

(17:42):
if you truly understood the tenants. In a democratic socialist society,
the Grand Prix would not have happened here in Las
Vegas this weekend, because the workers in that paddock would
be getting paid so much and sharing in the wealth.
And the rich people would never have that. They just
never have that. But that's what should happen if every

(18:07):
worker in there could get a share of the fifteen
grand admission fee, you know. But no, oh yes, he
was fawning over him. We are living We are living
in a bizarro bizarro world. Bizarro world, as they say
in the chat, room. Where'd everybody go? Where Brevard, North Carolina?

(18:28):
In the house, where'd you go? North Carolina? I want
to see some of y'all want to hear what you're
having to say about this. Don't forget down below. You
have to tell me that I'm not alone that you're
compulsive about something like do you clean the house right
before you go? Do you balance the I used to
balance the check book every time before I went to
a grocery store or to any store. It would drive

(18:48):
Andrew crazy. Every single time I would balance. I would
every single time I would because we were Paul and
I just wanted to make sure you know that we
had money. People are texting me about Komy. Did you
see the Komy thing? I'm like, yes, I saw, I saw,

(19:10):
I saw, I saw. It's exciting, though, isn't it. It's exciting.
You know. I don't know where I'm at about leaving
America now. I don't. I don't know where I'm at
about it. I think I am going to wait to
the midterms. I mean that because it appears his administration's unraveling,

(19:35):
and it appears the rest of the world is no
longer revering him and giving him what he wants, and
you know it, it really appears that the man behind
the curtain is being exposed for the fraud that he is.
Maybe Wicked has something to do with it at him,
because let's be real, that's exactly what the Wizard of
Oz was about. The Wizard, and the Wizard of Oz

(19:56):
is Donald Trump. That's exactly the story. A who finds
a place in Oz that can be easily manipulated and
the people can be easily manipulated, and then he takes power,
and he stays in power by silencing opposition, by jailing
people who could oppose him, by converting others to be

(20:18):
on his side, people with power. And when Alphaba, you
know who is quote the bad witch. She's only bad
because she knows the Wizard has no power, and she
does have power. So the Wizard fears her and so
he vilifies her and says she's evil, she's an evil witch,

(20:42):
but she's not. She's just a powerful witch who knows
that the that Oz has no power. The Wizard of
Oz is the story of our time right now. That's
why Wicked is so relevant right now. It is truly
the story of our time because Donald Trump, the man

(21:05):
behind the curtain. Who says he is the end? This
weekend he cosplayed again. He put himself on a throne
with a crown. What is his obsession with thrones and crowned?
What is he a queen? All we're hearing about him
fawning over him and Domy and blowing bubba. That could
be a sitcom. We'll be right, no show.

Speaker 8 (22:00):
Here.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
I am to save your door, all right, so call
me all free. I bet he's happy today. He's like,
whoa score one for our side? And Letitia James like,
m yes, girl, I'm sure the Titia's.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Like mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
I knew that Orange BOFO is not gonna win haunt
he because she's a black woman. I can talk like
her for you know, she's a black woman. I'm being racist.
I love how black women talk. Most people think I
am a black woman. Oh what a bizarre world. And
so and now we got another senator, Senator Kelly being
you know, we're gonna we're gonna put him, We're gonna

(22:37):
call he's in the reserves. So the Pentagon's like, we're
gonna call him back to active duty just so we
can quit marshal him. What a petty Meanwhile, there are
was it, three hundred kids that were kidnapped in some
African nation right out there school. We aren't too concerned
about that. Instead, we got a bomb alleged drug boats

(22:57):
in Venezuela. You know, every time we attacked I'm thing
in Venezuela, it costs you and me millions of dollars.
He's a tax. Ain't free. When you hear about bombing
a boat that ain't free, bombs are a million plus.

Speaker 9 (23:11):
We are spending millions of dollars to bomb. I don't
care if there's drugs in Venezuela. I don't care if
there's drugs in America. Given how Donald Trump is, we
should all be doing some drugs on nation obsessed with
food and ozempic. That that just so explains our frikin country,
doesn't it. We are a nation obsessed with ozepic and

(23:34):
with govy and zep bound. And yet we've got RFK
Junior about to release new guidelines that say eat butter,
eat steak, eat this, eat that, eat saturated fat. He
is going to release the antithesis. He should be releasing
a thing that says be a.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
Vegan, eat beans, eat tofu eat siitan eat text, you're
vegetable protein instead he's a oh no, butter sad fat yogurt. Well,
go ahead, I hope MAGA follows his new guidelines so
they can drop fucking dead. We are a nation obsessed
with weight loss, drugs, and bad food. That explains our

(24:19):
country right right there. That right there explains who we
are as a people. We made the cop thirty. That
the climate thing. They're not addressing fossil fuel. We are
a nation screaming about climate change but progressing fossil fuel.

(24:40):
Everything is wrong right now. That could be a song.
Everything is wrong right now because it is, it is,
it's and we are like schizophrenic, we truly are. We
are our nation obsessed with the rule of law. If

(25:03):
you hear Magas scream, and yet we have a law
breaking president who is being slapped by the courts every
chance you know, sister, daughter, sister or daughter, you know,
every chance the courts can because all he knows how
to do is illegal things. He illegally appointed an attorney
to prosecute his enemies. And now that case has been

(25:24):
thrown out. Take that, you orange piece of crap. What
a what a world? And all of this on Thanksgiving,
Thanksgiving and thirsty. I saw people buying turkeys. I thought,
I admit it. You don't like turkey in the first place.
Just admit it. It's dry, it's not a very good meat,
even the dark meat, it's not good. You shouldn't eat

(25:46):
that dead bird. Let turkeys be. You don't need to
eat dead bird on Thanksgiving. You just don't. You don't
need to eat dead coward, dead pig. There's plenty of
things you can eat that are vegan on Thanksgiving that
are delicious. You don't need a freaking' turkey or a
hand or a prime rib. Why must we slaughter something
for a holiday? What are we in the fourth century? Oh,

(26:07):
it's a holiday. Let's slaughter things. The hell is wrong
with us? All right? Yes see, I don't know if
I'm how I feel about leaving the country now. I
don't know. I think they're going to lose the midterms, maga,
And I think Trump's gonna have rains put on him.

(26:28):
And if he does, then maybe I could stay, you know,
I mean, even here in Vegas. I really don't want
to live in Vegas. But I don't not want to
live in Vegas. It's a great place, lots of entertainment,
great food restaurants. Okay, hospitals. If you want to see
a specialist, your best to go to La But it's
only four hours away, so you know, or an hour flight.

(26:49):
It's not a Vegas isn't a terrible place except in
the summer June July August. Horrible place in June July August,
although now that it's getting colder. I like fifty to eighty,
that's what I like, and Vegas is about to get thirties.
I don't like thirties, you know. I like fifty to eighty,
that's what I like. And Vegas was about to get

(27:12):
thirty five to fifty five. So you know, it's not
a terrible place to live. I have a beautiful apartment.
You know, it's gorgeous. I have a gorgeous home. And
you know, I'm got a few friends, Steve and Heath
and Jeanie and Sherry. You know, a few, you know.
So it's not the most terrible place in the world

(27:33):
to be. Palm Springs may be better. I don't know.
I'd live in the Bay Area very quickly if one
of you all want to give me a condo or
you know, build me a little unit behind your house.
You know I'm there, So I don't know. I'm torn now.
A year ago, last even February March, I was ready
to go, like get me out of here. But now

(27:57):
I they're unraveling. I didn't think they'd unraveled quite this quickly.
But Congress isn't listening to him. You know, He's all,
get rid of the philibuster, get rid of the philibuster.
They're like, eh no, so they are ignoring him. Mike
Johnson does not have the stranglehold that he did. You

(28:19):
got Marjorie Taylor Green bailing. Others will probably follow suit,
and I'd like to see them prosecuted. So I don't know.
I'm going to hear a lot about Portugal, and I'd
love to go and check it out, but I have
no friends there. I don't know the healthcare system there,
and that's all manageable and doable. But and even Mexico,

(28:42):
Portaarta or San Jose, Costa Rica. I'm still in entertainment
and I'm not done yet here in Vegas. You know,
I can still be on the Grammy boards that I'm
on because of the La chapter. I'm on the music
Advocacy Board, second or panel second year in a row
of the largest chapter of Grammy. I'm very involved in
Grammy now sag Aftra, so you know what I mean.

(29:05):
I'm sure in your life too, you're thinking of Yes,
I'd like to get out, but you know, I have
a life here, not that you wouldn't have a life
where you live where you moved to. But you know,
it's a hard decision, it really is. I'd like to
pay off all my debt before I leave, and that
would take five years, So we'll see, we'll see. I

(29:29):
don't know. He keeps getting flat though I'm living for it.
But I guess would I enjoy that from another country
watching in the news trumps downfall? Probably all right, much
more to come when we come back. Don't go anywhere,
which is a small, little tiny break right here, I
can finish my hot cocoa.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
All right, it is crop asked. I am correl So
mag is melting. Trump is probably fuming today. Ah, he's
gonna post on true Socialist three in the morning this morning.
What does that man? He must take so much adderall
can you imagine? Oh, what it's like. Three o'clock is
a very That's what I call the loneliest time in
the universe. Three am. That and I always tell everyone

(31:20):
that that is the loneliest hour because a lot of
us wake up at three am. Not me, I wake
up at four thirty. But a lot of people wake
up at three am and they can't get back to sleep,
and there's nothing to do. There's nothing to do. It's
pitch black outside. You can't call a friend, even a
friend on the East Coast, it's you know, you can't
call a friend. Three am is the loneliest time. And

(31:41):
there's a song about that, right, it's three am. I
must be lonely written about his mother with cancer who
would often be awake at three am and have no
one to talk to. H. Yeah, so that's the lowliest tempt.
So before we get back to politics, I told you
I want to do a little thing about pet peeves.
I did a post on LinkedIn which has caused controversy.

(32:01):
H And I just want to tell you a pet
peeve of mine. We live in an era now where people,
how do I say this, people that should not ghost
you are ghosting people now. A lot of what I
do requires booking guests, getting products to review, getting into

(32:22):
events to take you to, and a lot of you
might be wondering, why isn't that going on anymore? Well,
let me tell you. I send out ten emails a
day and I get zero response. Nothing, not that we're
not interested, are avent? Is nothing. So I asked my
friend Hannah, who's a very big publicist and marketer for

(32:45):
major networks, and she said the same thing. She will
pitch guests, she will pitch events, she will pitch things
to these people whose job it is to respond and crickets.
I am. I'm a member of Gallica the Game Lesbian
Entertainment Critics. We have six hundred members. I have the
mailing list. I'll send out a press release, like the

(33:08):
fact that I have a number five song right now
in the UK. I have written a top five song
in the UK, and my new single, I Dance Because,
comes out December sixth, and so I send six hundred
pitches out to all these journalists. I maybe get one
or two responses and no nos, no, no one, no,

(33:31):
not interested, or maybe late nothing crickets. That is a
pet peeve of mine. And now I'm hearing that so
many people go apply for jobs and they never ever
hear back from the employer. Not oh we went a
different direction, you know, whatever, nothing, They just hear nothing.

(33:52):
What the hell is up with people nowadays, thinking they
don't have to do their jobs, set up a frickin'
ai robut to respond to the emails, but respond It's
it's like text messages. You send someone a text message
and three hours later they still ain't texted you back.
You know they got the fucking phone in their hand.
You know they have seen the text message because it

(34:14):
says delivered right there, but they ain't texted you back.
What is wrong with people when someone communicates with you
via email, via phone, via text messages, have the freakin
common courtesy to respond, even in the negative, even if

(34:34):
it's not interested, sorry, or you didn't get the job,
or we don't have any room at our event, or
I'm not the person to talk to to book this guest,
whatever it is. And it's not just me. I used
to think it's just me because I'm a little person.
I'm not ABC or CBA.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Oh No.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
I've talked to producers at KFI. I talked to producers
for major shows, major podcasts. I've talked to major publicists
who book artists, people who have big name clients that
they'll want to get on KTLA or they'll want to
get on whatever local station, and they call and they
email and nothing. That is a pet peeve of mine.

(35:14):
Respond People respond, you know that's do y'all feel guilty
this holiday? I think a lot of people are cut.
So Steve and I are going to Thanksgiving lunch. We're
going to go to the best restaurant in Las Vegas
for vegans, Crossroad Kitchen. And I told Steve, I go,

(35:38):
you know, it's cheaper than cooking, But I also was like,
we're gonna sit feasting while there are people here in
town start. But isn't that always the way? There's always
someone worse than me. It just seems different now, doesn't it.
It hits differently now.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Correll is so near because show time is here.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
So on with the show.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Let's give it a go.

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

Speaker 6 (36:29):
You know. I read a story in the La Times
yesterday about migrant workers who are children eleven, twelve thirteen,
fourteen fifteen. We're gonna talk about it tomorrow because I can't,
I just I can't. The story was, so we have
the nerve, we have the fucking nerve to go and

(36:52):
harass the very people that we have made slaves out of.
And I don't want to get into this topic today
and tomorrow, but that's all I could think about, was
that we have a slave class of labor in this country, immigrants, migrants,
and in every country, in every country, migrants are their

(37:15):
slave labor, no matter who it is. In Ireland, one
time I said, who are your Mexicans? They knew exactly
what I meant. They said, pakistanis They knew exactly what
I meant. You know, in Britain it's again people from
the stands, people from India. Who are the workers doing
the menial work? People from Russia doing the menial work.

(37:38):
This morning I read that there are two thousand Americans
this year alone that have sought visas from Russia. And
the visa is called a culturally similar visa, and it
means you agree with the values of the Russians and

(37:59):
the Russian go which means your homophobic, transphobic, your sexist, misogynist, xenophobic,
and two thousand Americans would rather live in Russia than
around the Libs. Fucking go go join Gerad Deeperdue and
have a good time. And what's his name? Oh, that

(38:20):
horrible action star. What's his name?

Speaker 8 (38:23):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (38:23):
I can see him in my head. He has a
ponytail and dark hair, and and he's an action star
and he moved to Russia. Someone in the chat room
helped me out. Who is it, Stephen Segal, That's it,
Stephen segall my brain still works, So you know, I
was asking about does it hit differently this year? Are

(38:46):
you as Thanksgiving approaches, do you feel more guilty this year?
I kind of do. I kind of do I feel. Look,
I was very lucky for my birthday. Several listeners gave
me financial gifts through PayPal, PayPal, dot me, Forward, slash,

(39:06):
really Correll. One gave four hundred dollars, which was incredible,
and another gave more than that, which was incredible, and
I shared that. I gave it to my sister who
snap benefits hadn't come in. I shared it with other people.
I gave three hundred dollars to the food bank. Here

(39:28):
I'm forgetting the name three square. I gave three hundred
to three square so they could give nine hundred meals.
But you know, I thought to myself, well, you're spending
about one hundred dollars on Thanksgiving and that would be
three hundred meals. According to three square, if you give
them one dollar, they can feed three people. So it's

(39:49):
like But then I thought, well, it's always this way, right,
I mean, in the world my entire life, there's always
been somebody worse off than me. And you know, on
Christmas morning. There's always somebody that doesn't have any presents.
I was one of those people ones that didn't have
any presents on Christmas morning. So you know, it's a
balancing act. How do you not feel guilty for having things?

(40:12):
We're blessed? You and I. We have computers, Like if
I have a laptop right here, I have an iPad
right here. I got a little girl out there barking.
I got six sonoses that are playing music all over
my house except in here. It's playing classical all throughout
the house. And I leave that playing all day long music.
You know, I have a beautiful home. I have these lights.
I have a camera that does work sometimes and doesn't

(40:34):
work other times. I need another one of those. My
sister needs a computer, so I finally broke down and
bought one. Thanks to your Patreon support, I will be
able to pay the monthly payment on the computer again
thanks to your Patreon support. So yesterday I ordered it.
It arrives tomorrow. A new Mac Studio. I'm getting the
Mac Studio with the M four Ultra chip and forty

(40:58):
eight gigs of rear. It's a to upgrade because I
got to start doing more video for my music singles
and for the show. And now that they all have
AI built into them, they're gobbling up memory and gobbling
up so you know, instead of waiting two days for
something to render, it'll now render in you know, an hour.
So we're blessed. I have a choice where to go

(41:19):
on Thanksgiving. I could go to Crossroads, or I could
eat at home, or Steve and I could eat. So
I'm very blessed. I'm not wealthy. I have no money
in savings. I have eleven hundred dollars in my savings account.
I'm very honest about that. I do own my home,
so I guess I have one hundred and ninety or
two hundred or whatever thousand in the bank, but just
not touchable, you know. So we're blessed. And that's that's

(41:43):
the struggle that I have. I'm blessed. Ember is alive.
I'm alive. I have access to health care at the moment.
Ember has access to health care at the moment. Although
Truepanion sucks. I just found out Progressive is offering pet
insurance and it's much cheaper than Truepanions. I might switch
her over. But we're blessed, and on this Thanksgiving week,

(42:05):
I want each of you to remember, if you can
sit here and be with me, if you can listen
to me on some device, if you can, you know
you're blessed. You're blessed if you have a roof. It's
cold outside, and this morning the heat was on and
I literally said out loud, thank you for the heater.

(42:27):
There are so many people here in Las Vegas that
do not have access to warmth. So on this Thanksgiving week,
I'm very grateful for you for Patreon and your support,
because I would not be able to do the show
without Patreon. I am so grateful that I still have
a voice, that my lungs are good capacity that I

(42:50):
tell you all the pomonologists was like, your lungs are
functioning at one hundred and twenty one percent. I said,
is that good? He goes, It means they're twenty one
percent better than people your age, And I'm like, oh, okay,
he goes, Yes, you're de satting during the day down
to ninety one, ninety two, ninety three, he goes, but
right now you're at ninety nine, so so questions, right,

(43:12):
But I at least I have access. I'm having an
overnight sleep study done on the twelfth. At least I
have access. So as horrible, as I told someone this morning,
this year has seemed so horrible, hasn't it. I mean,
let's be honest, we're at the year end now, it's
November December. This this year has seemed so horrible because

(43:32):
of everything Donald Trump has done and MAGA and his cabinet,
watching families get destroyed, you know, watching ice literally kidnap
people and not being able to stop it. This year
has been horrible on so many levels. People have died

(43:52):
that we didn't want to die, you know, famous people
or just friends or family. So there's a lot we
could look back on twenty twenty five and go, God,
what a terrible year. You know, wars everywhere. Israel. Yesterday
I saw on the La Times on page A twenty four,
twenty four pages back, Israel kills forty three people in Gaza.

(44:14):
I'm like, well, that's not a fucking cease fire. So
his peace steel has fallen apart. They're still killing people
in Gaza. No one's talking about it. The media has
moved on, but people are still dying in Gaza. We
got people dying in Ukraine. Now we've got impending war

(44:34):
in Venezuela. This last year has been every single day
some other political or social disappointment. People not getting their snap,
people wondering, you know, where they're gonna get food. Insurance
premiums tripling at the end of the year, so people
don't know if they're gonna have health insurance next year.

(44:56):
It's been a load of crap twenty twenty five because
of Donald tr and his cabinet and the voters that
voted for him. But at the same time, if you
flip that coin over, not a penny because we stopped
making those. If you flip that coin over, twenty twenty
five has also been a great year. Ember has made

(45:16):
it through another year. You and I are here together
to make We've made it through another year. Most of
you have a home, most of you have food and
some kind of income. You know, most of you are
going to see friends or family over the holidays. So
twenty twenty five is like a Robert or who was it?

(45:37):
It was the best of times, it was the worst
of times. Is that Robert? That's not Robert Frost? Tale
of Two Cities? Dickens right? Was the best of times?
Those the worst of times? That's really life under Donald Trump. Now.
It was the worst of times, and it can be
the best of times sometimes, you know. Mendami won. That
was a great night, Democrats on all the different school

(46:01):
boards across the land was it was a good night.
Two democratic governors one there was reason to be happy today.
Comey's is dismissed, Latitia James dismissed. Are there's light that
comes through this dark cloud of Trump and trump Ism
and maga. I think we need more reminders of the

(46:22):
good medical advances that have been made in the last year.
Oh my god, In spite of RFK Junior, in spite
of these anti vaxxers, in spite of measles running rampant
and everything else, there's been advances in cancer treatments, Alzheimer's.
They're getting so close to figuring out Alzheimer's. I follow

(46:42):
that news. They're getting so close. A company in Australia
came up with something from wolf Spider venom that if
you have a stroke or a heart attack, it actually
prevents cell deaths so you won't become paralyzed and such.
That might be on the market next year or the
year after. There's so many things right there on the
horizon and our view has been obstructed. Trump is a

(47:08):
cloud that's blocking the sun. That's such a great analogy.
Maga is this cloud over America blocking the goodness, blocking
the blessings. But they're still there. They make it through,
not as many as we'd like, but they make it through.
And I think at the end of this year we

(47:29):
need to remember that, Yeah, twenty twenty five has been fucked.
It really has not been a great year politically and socially.
But at the same time, there is so much still
to be grateful for. There's so much in your life.
If you have a dog or a cat, look at
them right now and say, hey, they're here with me.

(47:51):
If you're lucky enough to date, I would love to
date in twenty twenty six. I want a boyfriend, I
really do. If you have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or
a wife or a husband, you're lucky. So this dark
cloud of Maga and Trump, it's not as solid as
it was now. It's breaking up a little bit. And

(48:16):
you know, after every storm there is a rainbow. So
I don't know when this storm of Trump will and
I don't think he's going to last another three years.
I really don't. I think this is it for him.
I think he'll be dead by early next year. I
don't think he's well. I mean, look at him. He
looks sick, he looks bloated, his legs, he's got candles,

(48:38):
you know, he's always at Walter Reed. Now his hands
are all bruised from ivs and drugs going in. I
just don't think he's well. And I think he does
have dementia. And so this dark cloud over America that
is Maga, the Maga cloud, it's having some holes punched

(49:00):
in it. And even though they're little, we should be grateful.
We really should be grateful, you know. So yeah, I
you know, I really hope, really, really really hope Corell
I sent your relative of computer years ago. Did you
phineas it would have been my sister, I would imagine, Yeah,

(49:23):
all right, we're almost out of here. We've got one
more segment left. Thank you for putting up with me
being late today. Like I said, I apologize, I had
a technical issue, but I would have had time to
fix it if I hadn't been compelled to clean out
my refrigerator and mop my kitchen floor on my hands
and knees. I really did wonder. I'm not making that up.
When I was down there mopping the floor with my

(49:44):
yellow kitchen rag, I thought, when was the last time
Beyonce cleaned anything like anything? When's the last time she
touched a vacuum cleaner? When's the last time she did
a dish like rinsed out even a dish. Now, some
celebrities they still do this stuff. I know many celebrities

(50:05):
that still cook for themselves or not Oprah, but you
know what I mean, they still do stuff around there.
I know many celebrities that still do stuff, particularly New
York based ones. New York based celebrities tend to be
more self sufficient and do more for themselves. And they
even like take the Kenna Reeves was here by the
way this weekend. I would like to have met him again.

(50:25):
I've met him before, but you know, they take the
subway and such. So some celebrities do still Cookley Stanley Chucci,
what is it, Stanley Tucci? He cooks for himself, you know.
So sometimes the celebrities have you know, washed out a
plate or or washed out a pan or whatever others.

(50:46):
I mean, do you do you see Beyonce in the
kitchen rinsing out her tea wear I'm really do you
or Adele? Do you see like after Adele has tea,
do you see her washing out the teapot and the
teacups and all of that. I don't, but I could
be wrong. All right, we'll finish up a week, come

(51:07):
back and talk to you tomorrow. Much love to you all.
We'll be right back to finish up. Oh yeah, head,
are you seeing them? Trump love to Carriss, be mad, mad,
bad man.

Speaker 8 (51:29):
He.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Say, now it show side.

Speaker 6 (52:01):
The Guardian is reporting that inside the inside sources are
telling them the Ukraine is making significant changes to the
US quote peace plan because Trump handed putin everything you wanted. Well,
why wouldn't they They're but buddies. Maybe that's Bubba. Maybe Putin
is Bubba. Ukraine has significantly amended the US peace plan

(52:23):
to end the conflict, removing some of Russia's maximalist demands.
People familiar with the negotiations have said, as European leaders
warned on money that no deal could be reached quickly.
Vladimir Zelenski, who is handsome, still, may meet Donald Trump
and the White House later this week. Sources indicated did
Trump parton a Turkey. He's pardoned everybody else? Is he

(52:46):
gonna partn a Turkey because he's pardoned everybody? White House
Later this year, sources indicated amid a flurry of calls
between Kiev and Washington, Ukraine is pressing for Europe to
be involved in the talks. The original twenty eight point
US Russia plan was drawn up last month by Kreel Dmitriev,
Vladimir Putin, Special Envoy and Trump's representative Steve Whitkoff. Oh well,

(53:09):
no wonder. It calls on Ukraine to withdraw from cities
it controls in the eastern don Bass region. They're not
going to limit the size of its army. They're not
going to and not join NATO. They're going to join NATO.
During negotiations on Sunday in Switzerland, led by the US
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who really wants to be president,

(53:30):
and Zelenski's chief of staff Andrea of Yermak, the plan
was substantially revised. It now includes only nineteen points, not
twenty eight. Kiev and its European partners say the existing
front line has to be the starting point for territorial discussions,
meaning they're not going to give up any any of
the land that they've gotten back. They're just not And

(53:51):
if that's Russia's line in the sand, then the war
will continue. And by the way, we're not giving any
money to the war. Just so you know, the US
and stuff Trump took office hasn't given any money to Ukraine.
Trump Z and Z. Trump and Z have spoken by
phone amid tear of truce. He's going to visit China

(54:12):
in April. Maybe they'll keep him. X displays users location.
This is another reason MAGA is melting down, fueling scrutiny
over political accounts. So we found out this so x
Twitter now shows where the accounts are based, and the
top fifty percent of Trump supporting MAGA accounts are from

(54:38):
other countries like China, Indonesia, Romania, other authoritarian countries. So
all of these idiot magas and they are stupid. All
these idiot MAGA people have been following these accounts and
then regurgitating the information these accounts put out. These accounts

(55:02):
are not American, they're not American Trump supporters. They're propagandists
in other countries. And now that people are finding this out,
I see the whole point of the show is MAGA
is melting down, and this is one of their meltdowns.
They are furious that they've been following these people and

(55:23):
taking advice from these people and taking news from these
people who aren't who they purport to be. They're not
good American patriots. They're Chinese, they're Communists, they're Africans, they're Indonesians.
They're not good US American patriots. And this just shows

(55:45):
how stupid and manipulated able to manipulated, manipulated MAGA is.
Because I don't know about y'all, but if I'm going
to take a news sources credible, I check where it's
coming from. Okay. Can I take nothing on social media
as fact? Nothing? Especially now with AI. You know, I

(56:10):
spent five hours with Ai yesterday trying to make a
music video for I Dance because coming out December sixth.
Please pre order it. Please go preorder Corel I Dance
because if you preorder it it it helps. So type
in Corel Kril I Dance because and pre order it's

(56:30):
only ninety nine cents. Please please, please, please. So I
was trying to do a video with the thing called Runway,
which is supposed to be the thing to do videos
in I had chat GPT talking to me through every step,
and I couldn't do it. This notion that AI is
so easy to just create these videos, it's not. It's not.

(56:50):
It's still an infant, you know. But anyway, people are texting,
can do you hear my text messages? And people are
so happy about the Komi thing, you would think they
or James Comy, Oh my god, oh my god. Comy,
he's been dismissed, has been dismissed. Yes, I know, I know,
I know. But maga's again melting down now because they

(57:11):
found out that half of the people they follow, half
of the information they get, is from communist China, from Indonesia,
it's from you know, Romania, the Balklands, not good old
American patriots. What do you know? They were duped. It's

(57:32):
because they're easily duped, you know. So we've labeled the
Cartel de los Soles a terrorist organization, uh and Maduro
as a member of a foreign terrorist organization. So we're
we want to go tack. Why why does he want Venezuela?
Can anyone tell me? Can anyone out there tell me

(57:53):
what his what his preoccupation with Venezuela is do they
have goods that we want? Do they have oil or
do what? Why does he want to take over Venezuela
Because it's all a grift with trump.

Speaker 8 (58:06):
On.

Speaker 6 (58:06):
A volcano went off in Ethiopia. I saw video this morning,
first time in twelve thousand years in Ethiopia. Boom, big volcano.
Ain't that's something Ethiopia, Boom, big volcano. Yep, Flights are
being canceled, Volcanic ashes spreading. Oh yeah, big big yep,
big thing, big thing. All right, that's all the news

(58:29):
that's fit to print for today. Trump's Obamacare moves blind
side's conservatives. Oh that's another thing they're melting down about.
Maga is this. They can't cut a break, can they?
They're just Trump is pitching an Obamacare extension and overhaul,
and that's his side is like, wait, we want to
get rid of it. But he understands that his popularity

(58:50):
is gonna plummet when people can't afford their healthcare. Cold
snap tied to polar vortex set to threaten Thanksgiving track.
When isn't there some weather event? Now we got to
learn how to travel differently. You know, the weather is

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
