These Food & Climate Numbers Will Shock You | Karel Cast 25-167
What would it actually take for your state to be food-self-sufficient?
How much food — and especially meat — would the United States have to produce just to feed itself?
The answers are staggering, and they reveal why climate change, agriculture, and what we eat are deeply connected — whether we want to admit it or not. These numbers don’t just challenge our assumptions, they expose how fragile the food system really is.
So yes, eat, drink, and be merry this holiday season — but understand this: you are not alone, and the choices we make collectively matter more than ever.
Plus, let’s talk about the emotional side of the holidays. They can be joyful… but also stressful. What holiday pet peeves drive you crazy? Crowds? Family drama? Travel chaos? Odds are, we share more than a few.
And to balance it out: what are the things worth loving this season? The moments, the people, the small joys that make it all worthwhile.

Now, it's show time.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Holidays are about food, but you have no idea how
much it really takes to feed your state. We're gonna
talk about that today. Also, we're gonna talk about holiday
pet pee, one of my favorite topics, things that just
piss you off.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
It's no Corall cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Well, it is the crow Cast. I am corel Happy Tuesday,
December twenty third, that's it. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, the
day after is Christmas, and then l goodbye. It's gone
again for another year. Although when you put away the ornaments,
it seems like you're taking them back out just two
weeks later. I don't know about y'all, but as you age,
do you find the years just really fly by, like
(01:23):
really fly by. It's like totally fly by. I find
that they do. I really do? You know? I got
a lovely text last week that I didn't share. Oh
share well, but it's from a woman who graduated high
school in nineteen sixty two, of the year I was born.
And she said she worries about me because I worry
too much. And I do worry a lot. I do,
(01:46):
I really do. Sorry, my glass was on the wrong
place on my ear. And it's funny because the topic
that I had slated for today, I will spreadsheet of
topics here the beginning topic. You know, we talk about
miracles at Christmas, a Christmas miracle and you know the
(02:08):
movies we talked about yesterday, a lot of them have
Christmas miracles in them. And there's a great song by
Denise Williams. But it's gonna take a miracle. And I
thought I was thinking today, which is unusual for me.
You all know that's not true. I was thinking that
(02:30):
I don't believe in miracles. I believe in extraordinary things
that happen that seem miraculous. Well let me rephrase, okay,
because I do believe in miracles. You know, like when
a baby is born, that's a miracle. I mean that's
just like, Wow, you made a human. You know, that's incredible.
(02:53):
And there are so many things in life that are miraculous.
Views you'll stop until you know the view in Ireland.
There have been so many times when we were motorcycling
through Ireland where Brandon and I just pulled over and stopped,
and Daniel was in the car behind us, pulled over
and stopped and just looked at this miraculous view, gorgeous,
(03:14):
rolling green hills and ocean and just God, I wish
I could live there. I do just beautiful, beautiful country.
So I do believe in miracles, but not the kind
that most people believe in. I don't believe in miracles
from God. I don't believe in God, and I don't
believe in supernatural woo woo miracles. But I do know
that things are miraculous. Ember is miraculous. What a miraculous thing.
(03:38):
Dogs are? They are unconditional love. They adore us there
they they die too soon, but you know, they're they're miracles.
They're they're just little miracles. And I was thinking about
that today because given what's going on even this week,
which I said, I'm not going to talk about Trump
or politics on the week of Christmas or New Year's
(03:59):
so I'm trying not to. You know, last week his
press conference was enough to keep me going for two months,
but whatever or his nighttime address. Unless he drops dead,
then we'll talk about that over the holidays. We'll have
a fester. That would be a miracle. I started thinking
in a down moment, because in the holidays you go
(04:21):
up and down about what it's going to take to
turn the world around. Not just the US, but the
world is headed in the wrong direction, and we don't
need to be We have the total ability to be
headed in the right direction. We have the best technology
(04:42):
now ever AI and many other things. You know, the
technology is incredible. We have access to so many miraculous
things that we could be headed in the total right direction.
But we're not wondering what Christmas miracle do we need
(05:06):
and how are we going to get it? How are
we going to get this Christmas miracle? And then I
thought to myself, maybe we already have it, very wizard
of oz. Maybe the power to write our ship has
been ours all along. Maybe we you and I the
(05:28):
fact that we share this time together, Maybe we are
the Christmas miracles that we need. Maybe we're enough. Maybe
we are enough of a miracle because we can do
miraculous things. In Australia, the guy that tackled the Gunman.
(05:48):
That was miraculous. Maybe we're the miracle that this Kris.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Corel is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
You know, I'm not done thinking about this topic yet.
It's the holidays. We can just chit chat because I
hear a lot that you know, there's no and in
the new year. You know, I don't want this next
year to be like last year. And so we hear
a lot miss Ember, what are you doing pacing around? Now?
I hear you pacing around? What are you doing? Come
on in here, honey, Come on, it's a Christmas show.
(06:53):
I've got a hat on. Come on. So I hear
a lot of people over the holidays say, well, there's
nothing I can do. You know, this is nothing I
can do. Like next year, there's nothing I can do.
I can't change Donald Trump's mind. I can't I can't
get him out of office. I can't you know, I
(07:14):
only have so much power. I can vote and that's
about all I can do. Other than that, what else
can I do? I hear that a lot. What else
can I do? You know it's going to take a miracle,
and there's a lot that each of us can do.
We just forget and just like I said that we
(07:37):
are the miracle, we are also the answer. The answer
to every single problem is us, You and me. We're
the answer. There's no problem that you and I can't
solve if there's the will. And that's what we need
going into the new year. On this Christmas Eve eve,
(08:00):
that's what we need more than anything, the will, the
will to keep going, the will to keep fighting, the
will to make changes, maybe the will to leave the country.
We need the will because where there's a will, there's
a way, and I think Trump and this last year
(08:22):
has done a lot to beat the will out of us.
And Christmas is about renewal. It's about celebrating joy and
love and peace and happiness, and about looking towards the
new year. It's about giving. I still want your comments
from yesterday. I asked for your comments about what the
Christmas spirit means to you? What does Christmas? What's the
real Christmas mean to you? You know, this last year
(08:46):
has tried to just beat us down in every aspect financially,
it's tried to rob us. You know, I just read
I set myself something. Where is it here? Oh? Yeah?
How much do you need to be in the top
ten percent of your state or of the country. How
(09:10):
much money do you need to be in the wealthiest
ten percent of the US households nationally? It's two hundred
and ten thousand a year and holdings of one point
eight million in net worth. That would put you in
the wealthiest ten percent of Americans. And if we say
the wealthiest ten percent out of three hundred and thirty
(09:31):
five million people, that means only thirty three million people.
Think about that, the wealthiest ten To be in the
top ten percent of wage journers, you have to make
two hundred and ten thousand a year or have one
point eight million dollars in net worth. That means only
thirty four million people have that. That means three hundred
(09:55):
and six million people or more are not. They're in
the ninety percent. They're not in the top ten percent.
I'm not in the top ten percent. Most of you
aren't in the top ten percent. We're in the ninety
And yet every business I know this Christmas has crafted
their business around the top ten percent. Hotels charging huge fees,
(10:20):
rental car companies, grocery stores. Everything around us is really
built as if we're all in the top ten percent,
but really we're That means ninety percent of us don't
make two hundred and ten thousand dollars a year. And
in today's world, that's not that much money. And ninety
(10:40):
percent of us don't make that as a household, not
just individually, as a household, two hundred and ten grand.
Ninety percent of us don't make that. That's something. That's something.
So when I think about miracles and Christmas miracles, think
about frustration, people saying, you know, it's gonna take a
(11:04):
miracle to fix this. No, it's going to take people
with the will to fix it, people with the strength,
with the stamina, with the intelligence to fix it. You know,
the midterms are coming up this next year. There's a
Christmas gift for you. The midterms are coming up. Hopefully
(11:27):
Democrats will win, win big, win control of the House
and Senate and put an end to this madness. Next
Christmas we may be celebrating the end of trump Ism.
Wouldn't that be a miracle? Sit? I mean, by what
is a real miracle? Wouldn't that be a miracle. If
(11:50):
next Christmas, because of the midterms, we're actually celebrating the
end of trump Ism, that would be something. That would
be something, because look, the holidays are stressful, no matter
how you slice it. Now, some of you have no
stress over the holidays, and I hate you, I absolutely
(12:11):
hate you. Most people are stressed. Oh my god, I
used to stress. I used to be a Christmas Eve shopper.
I'm not anymore. But when Andrew was alive, I was
a Christmas eve shopper and I would get so stressed
on Christmas Eve out shopping. Oh, I'd get so stressed. Parking,
lots stress, just store stressed, just all kinds of stressed.
(12:32):
One Christmas Eve, I went out shopping while Andrew and
Emily stayed home drinking vood cluco. I got home so stressed,
and they laughed at me so much because they were
buzzed on the voov cluco. I got so mad. Oh,
Emily still talks about it. I got furious because I
was stressed. Holidays are stressed. They make you feel bad
(12:53):
if you don't have enough money to share gifts that
you want to share. The new year is coming, there's
pressure to be better, to be different, to make changes.
Families gather, and that's stressful. So the holidays are stressed,
and you got to get rid of that stress. By
the way, don't carry it through this week. Today is
(13:14):
Christmas Eveve, and don't be stressing about tomorrow. Don't be
stressing about Thursday. You know, Andrew, you Steff saying I
would always stress out about going places. I was always
on a schedule, even when we were vacationing. We gotta leave,
we gotta get to the airport at this time. We
(13:34):
have to get to or going to a party, we
gotta leave, we gotta get to the party at this time.
And Andrew would always say, I am not gonna go
if you're gonna stress over something fun. If whatever we're
about to do is supposed to be fun, I am
not going to participate if you stress beforehand. And he
(13:55):
kept that same view about Christmas in New Year's He
was like, if you're we're going to stress around Christmas,
that we just won't celebrate. I'm not gonna have it.
He had HIV. He was like, I'm not gonna have
the stress. You want to stress, then we'll just skip it.
And that taught me a lot. And so I don't
(14:16):
want you stressing today, Tomorrow, Thursday. If you're going to
Thanks or Christmas with Maga, don't go. If you have
to go, get drunk or eat an edible medicate. You know,
medication over the holidays is fine. That's why people drink
at this time of year. That's why during Festivus and
(14:37):
the other things that we're going to talk about tomorrow,
that's why that happened. It was short days, long nights.
They were bored, they were you know, stressed, so they drank.
I'm not saying get drunk, but I am saying a
little nog with some whiskey and it will do a
(14:59):
lot to ease holiday stress. So try not to be
stressful and remember self. You can still practice self care
over the holidays. You can do yoga, you can go
for walks, you can go to a spa day. You know,
if you want to, you don't have to, you know,
you do whatever you want. Just don't, you know, overly
(15:21):
stress because it really is huge this time of year.
Holiday depression, holiday stress, people feeling stressed because they're not happy.
Imagine being so unhappy that you're stressed about being unhappy.
That's got to be terrible. Beating yourself up over not
being happy. That's and people do, especially this time of year.
(15:45):
They beat themselves up because they're not being happy. It's like, yeah,
you know what, save it. So holiday stress is real,
and there's a lot of people out there telling you
ways to relieve it. Take time out of the day
for yourself. I say, get high, get an edible, have
(16:07):
a drink, whatever, get buzzed, because, as I said before,
the true meaning of Christmas is surviving it. That's a
lot of those movies they don't even know it, but
inadvertently they've shown the true meaning of diard. You know,
the true meaning of Christmas. Survive it, get through it.
(16:27):
You just got to get to Friday. Today's Tuesday. You
just got to get to Friday. Get to Friday. Let
the stress go. Start Looking towards the new year, we're
gonna have midterms. Maybe Donald Trump will drop dead. We
know he's unhealthy, sick and dying. We know that maybe
the holidays will stress him out so much he'll just
(16:47):
kill over what a happy New Year that would be.
So just get to Friday and then let it go.
That's why I'm taking down my decorations this weekend. I
don't know when y'all do. Some of you leave it
up till past the new year. And I know there's
the twelve Days of Christmas. So the twelve days of
Christmas start the twenty fifth, that's when they start. The
(17:08):
first day of Christmas is Christmas. That's the first day
of Christmas when your true love gives you a fucking
partridge and a tree that's gonna shit all over your yard.
In fact, that whole song is filled with gifts that
crap and eat turtle doves, maids of milking, which means
you gotta have cows. Lords are leaping. I like those,
(17:32):
but you know, drummer's drumming gonna keep you up all
fucking night. Really, the twelve days of Christmas, I don't
want half those gifts. I don't want drummers drumming. I'm
in a marching band. Maids of milking, What the hell
do I need milkmaids for? You know, lord's a leaping
I'll take all the birds hens, French hens. I don't
(17:53):
care if they have baguettes in their hands and wear berets.
I don't need French hends. I don't eat them. I
want to do with them. So, but the first day
of the twelve day of Christmas is Christmas in two days,
and then it goes for twelve days, and so a
lot of you leave your Christmas stuff up for the
twelve days of Christmas, which brings it well well into January.
(18:18):
I and even my stuff up till January. It's coming
down Saturday. Okay, Saturday, Christmas goes back in the box,
back into the closet. That's it done. Get rid of
all the tinsel, get rid of everything, all the wrapping paper.
All you people that save wrapping paper, What the hell?
Who are you? Oh Carrel? You never know? Nowadays everything
(18:41):
comes in a bag. You notice that no one really
wraps presents anymore. Your bags. Don't put my fucking gift
in a bag. Wrap my damn gift. Bring it to
the When you buy a gift in a department store,
they have a gift wrapping place. Do you know that
Macy's has gift wrapping? If you buy something in Macy's.
You can bring it to the gift apartment, the gift
wrapping department. Most of them have a gift wrapping department.
(19:04):
Or at Christmas, all those charity people are set up
like in malls and stuff and you can bring your
gifts and drop them off and they'll wrap them. Don't
be putting shit in a bag leaving it in the
Amazon box. Oh how many gifts do you get now?
In an Amazon box? That is just that's depressing. I mean,
it gives the gift and God bless them, you know,
(19:26):
thoughts of thought, but an Amazon puts them in these
stew You pay four bucks for a gift bag from
Amazon and it's like a muslin bag with a little
bow on top. It's like it. But hey, who am
I right now? I'd be grateful if I get any
of those by Christmas. So destress over Christmas. And we
(19:47):
are the miracle. We are the Christmas miracle. We are
all we need for the new year to make all
the changes that we need to make. Don't feel powerless, like,
oh what am I gonna do? What am I supposed
to to do? How do I deal? How do I cope?
How do I that's why you get stressed, because you
feel powerless. And I'm look, in some cases we are
(20:07):
Trump signs an executive order. What the hell can we
do about it? Not much? But that doesn't mean we
should feel like we can't do anything about anything. We
still can. On this Christmas Eve Eve, just know that
you're the only gift you need. You you got it all.
(20:28):
You're the gift that you need, So revel in that.
All right, We are going to talk food because you
know some of you are already cooking for tomorrow or
for Thursday, or tomorrow and Thursday. Because some people do
Christmas Eve dinner, some people do Christmas Day. I do both.
I love Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day, FYI I do.
(20:51):
For me, Christmas Eve is Christmas. I don't know about y'all,
but for me, Christmas Eve is Christmas. It's dark and
you know, the presence are all there, and I like
to open presence on Christmas. Yeah. But we're gonna talk
food and the astounding amount that we eat and how
it affects our clients and what we can do moving
(21:12):
forward to health change. Talk about that. When we come back.
Don't go anywhere. I'll go pets. Oh yes, pet, oh
holiday pets. Oh yeah, and I want to hear your
down below? Oh yes, yes, I do say.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All right? Holiday pet peeves? Oh you know the other
day because around the holidays parking is one of them.
Oh my god, people are people go crazy in parking
lots over the holidays. I don't know why, but they
just do. They like to lose all their fucking minds,
Like it's really going to kill you to walk thirty
extra feet. You know, look at your fat ass. You
(22:21):
should be parking in Pacoima and walking here. But whatever.
So the other day is at the park, and well,
you know, I'm at the park every day, and there
was a holiday gathering. It was over this last weekend
and it was a baseball holiday gathering. They were playing
holiday baseball. They all had little Santa caps on, and
(22:42):
you know, they look on a cute, these guys. But
so they all have these big trucks because they all
have their little dicks, and so, you know, big truck,
the bigger the truck, the smaller the penis. So I
have mentioned this before, but Saturday, Oh my god. Some
that happened to me once happened to me again. I
(23:02):
couldn't believe it. I could not believe it happened twice,
and it pushed me over the edge. Embers peeing. We
first got off the motorcycle and we're walking a little
bit and she stops to pee and a truck is
backing in because there are men and their assholes and
only men back into parking spaces. And the rule when
you're parking is that your car is not supposed to
(23:26):
encroach on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh no, every truck there was hanging over the sidewalk,
so the sidewalk was basically almost useless. This one guy,
just like it happened to me three weeks ago, he
was backing in and we were on the sidewalk and
he nearly hit us with his truck, and when he
got out, he smart mouthed me and said it was
my fault. Why you're standing behind.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
My truck, And well, dude, your truck is not supposed
to be over the sidewalk, and he starts yelling at
me again, just like this other guy did three spirit
with his kid right there waiting to go to baseball,
and in the holiday spirit, I simply turned and said,
you know, what you have a merry fucking Christmas.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
That is such a pet peeve of mine. If I
could get some sort of huge chainsaw and cut through
the cars and the trucks right where the curb is,
If I could do that, I would. If I were
a cop, I'd ticket every single one of those motherfuckers.
Pisses me off. Do not block the sidewalk with your
(24:38):
behemoth vehicle, car or truck. Don't do it. Just what
are some of your pet peeves? I'd love to hear
down below. What are some of your pet peas putting
around the holidays? Another pet peeve of mine. No vegan options.
This is twenty twenty five. Vegans have been around since
(24:58):
the dawn of fucking man kind. In fact, early man
were not carnivores. They were both basically vegans. They had
no refrigeration for the meat, and it wasn't easy to catch.
They ate more fruits and nuts and berries and seeds
and vegetables than they did meat. This notion that the
carnivore diet is meat is just stupid. It wasn't. It's
(25:22):
twenty twenty five Half Christmas vegan options period, just period.
So many places are having special holiday menus, and not
even an option that pisses me off? What other little
holiday pet peeves do you have? Hm? Christmas music? I
(25:47):
get tired of it at this point, I'm tired of it.
I don't want to hear it anymore. I know tomorrow's Christmas,
even then there's Christmas Day, but I'm so sick of
have yourself a merry little Christmas or all I want
for Christmas is you or you know, silent or jingle bells,
which is a racist song. I'm tired of. What else
pet peeves? Anything about the Christmas tree? That's a pet
(26:08):
peeve of mine? Not really. I don't like those little
wire hanger things. I really don't because they all get
bunched up. Can we sell wire hangers that don't find
a way to group themselves all together? So you got
to shake and shake and shake, and then it rains
little wire hangers? And then, oh, is there a better way?
(26:28):
Do any of you have a life hack for wirehanging
to replace wire hangers for ornaments because they always get
all messed up? Ugh, that's a pet peeve of mine?
What is it? What's what's some holiday pet peeves of yours?
Put it down below? People. Look, I am a vegan,
but do not stuff your turkey with stuff raw stuffing.
(26:54):
Don't stuff a raw bird with raw stuffing and then
put it in the oven. Don't do it. You cook
the stuffing separately. And then if you want to put
some cooked stuffing into the bird as you're finishing it off, fine,
what are you stiff your turkey with gorilla? I don't
eat turkey, but if I did, I would put chopped onions,
(27:18):
chopped celery, and some garlic inside the bird. Not stuffing.
Salmonilla from the bird goes into the stuffing. And if
the stuffing doesn't cook fully, you can give your guest
food poisoning. No stuffing in the bird. Oh, that breaks
(27:39):
with tradition. Tradition was wrong. They didn't know shit about salmonilla. Lord,
that is that's a fat beeve of mine. No vegan options.
People who don't know how to cook their damn turkeys.
If you're gonna cook a turkey, cook it right. Do
you brind your turkey?
Speaker 2 (28:01):

(28:52):
your tree. It's Christmas. Well, the beauty of not having kids. Girls,
we get to sleep in on Christmas. That's not beauty.
That's lazy. It is Christmas freaking morning. That's when miracles happen.
Get up and experience the miracle. What else? What other
Christmas pet peeves? I'd love to hear yours down below
(29:14):
in the comments section, or send them to comments at
really corel dot com. We are talking about food. I'm
going to tell you about food and the amount of
it and why we're really screwed to the world when
it comes to climate chy. I don't want to burst
your Christmas joy bubbles. Oh we've got some changes. You're
(29:38):
not gonna believe you're not.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
You're not gonna believe.
Speaker 4 (29:43):

Corilla is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Now it's show time.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
You wouldn't be a holiday without food. But how much
food does your state really eat? Like really? And where
does it all come from? We're gonna talk about that
and so much more on this Christmas Eve Eve.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Correl cat uncensored, unfiltered, fun, hinged.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
It's the Corral Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
It is the Crowdcast. I am Correl. It's Christmas Eve Eve.
I am so glad you are joining me. I hope
you're having a fun week. It's a holiday week. Many
of you aren't working. Many of you are and blessed
to be. But you know what I'm saying, it's a
holiday week and next week too, so it's much lighter
show wise, and much as much lighter everything, unless, of course,
(31:20):
Trump drops dead in which case we'll probably have a party,
but he wouldn't do us the decency of doing that.
Over Christmas. I want to talk about food, because of
course Christmas Eve is about food. Christmas Day is about food,
if you're lucky enough.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
To have it.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
If not, maybe you're out giving out to somebody, you know,
giving feeding people at the mission, or giving away at
food banks or whatever, noble of you to do that.
So let me tell you the genesis of this story,
and then I'll get to the numbers. So I entertained,
not in reality, maybe I don't know. I entertained running
(31:58):
for governor of the state of Nevada. Nevada's got some
real problems, water being number one, just the first problem,
and the second food. If I were a governor, I
would only concentrate on things that everybody needs. Food, water, housing,
clean air. Those four things would be my platform. The essentials.
(32:19):
I'm the essential governor because I deal with only the essentials.
All the other stuff, you know, the biggest because when
you think about housing, that homelessness falls under that. When
you think of food, climate change and water falls under that,
you know, So when you think of just the essentials,
what does a human need air to breathe, so it
(32:42):
should be clear. Did you see Deli last week? In
this week Deli, they can't even go outside. Their air
is so unhealthy. In Delhi they literally can't go outside.
And that's going to be many cities. I saw extrapolations
on Apple TV. So the basics, the essentials. I thought,
if I ran for governor, I would focus on the essentials. Food, water, air, housing.
(33:07):
Those are the things that I would make my state
lead the way in and then all the other stuff
would fall, you know, fall under it. And I started
thinking about food, you know, since I was thinking about
running for governor, and I thought, Nevada doesn't grow shit.
It just there's no farmland here really, and mainly because
(33:31):
we're a desert and you know, or mountainous and there's just,
you know, no place to grow food. There are some
farms here, don't get me wrong, and some cattle ranches
and some you know, there's some, but certainly not mass amounts.
We're not California or the Midwest. And so I started thinking, like, well,
(33:51):
where do we get our food? And I just started
going through my food in the house and all of it,
all of it, all of the food people eat in
Nevada is shipped in trucks, planes, trains, automobiles, camels. It's
all shipped in and we're a tourist destination. There's only
(34:16):
four point three million people that live in the state
of Nevada, but every year almost two million people come
and visit and they eat and so a lot. Have
you seen the buffets? So I started thinking, well, how
much is that if I were to run for governor
and say I want Nevada to be self sufficient, or
(34:39):
if I were to run for president and say I
want the United States to say I'm a vegan, and
so I want the United States to make its own
meat and dairy. I don't want us to have to
import any meat and dairy because it's bad for the environment.
How much would that be? Well, chat gpt and I
did some deep diving, and when I found the numbers
(35:03):
for just Nevada for produce, I I was gobsmacked because
I envisioned being able to make these fabulous vertical gardens
with solar power hydroponics, so it's that doesn't take a
lot of water and geothermal for heating in case it's temperate.
(35:25):
That you know, fruits and vegetables using the natural resources
to make big, beautiful vertical gardens. Well, I thought, how
many would you eat? We've got nothing but space, so
we've got the room. And I thought, well, how many
tomatoes do we eat in this state? Now? I remember
my state, just four million plus people. And when we combat,
(35:49):
I'm going to give you the numbers and you're going
to see why climate change is such a problem. This
explains and it's if.

Know, all right, it is the crowd cast. I am Correl.
Happy Christmas Eve Eve, the day before Christmas Eve. I'll
be here tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow. Show is gonna be about
the origins of Christmas. Why do we celebrate? What was
it before? What did we keep, what did we leave?
And how you celebrate. Also, I'll probably give you a
(36:50):
recipe for eggnog without the egg that's good. Uh. And
we're gonna talk about the origins of some of your
favorite Christmas songs. I'm not gonna play the Life in
Segment video clip that I have from when I did
it on Life and Segments, because I did that last year.
But we will be talking about the origin some of
them might surprise you of Christmas songs. All right. So
(37:13):
in my fantasy world where I was running for governor,
I thought, I want to make Nevada food self sufficient.
I think every state should make their state food self sufficient.
If I were president, I would push for that because
the number one cause of climate change our diet. Forty
(37:37):
plus percent of climate change is our diet. So the
fact that we meet in dairy is the first problem.
But even then, even if you're a vegan, which I am,
and you know we're all doing. If you are, you're
doing the right thing. It still takes room to grow
the food. And even though it's less impact on the
(37:58):
soil than meat and dairy and all that, it's better
for the world to be a vegan. Your produce and
your fruits and vegetables are being shipped halfway around the globe.
I eat two cups of fruit a day, A majority
of the fruit does not come from even the United States.
So I thought to myself, if I were to run
(38:19):
for governor, and I said, I'm going to make Nevada,
you know, self sufficient for fruits and vegetables at least
not so much meat, but fruits and vegetables. How much
how many vertical gardens am I going to eat? So
I went through just a couple big crops like the
biggies and said, you know, how much do we eat
(38:43):
per capita per person than total pounds? And how does that?
How many tons is that? And I when I saw
the numbers, I said, no, wonder the planet is fucked.
There are too many people trying to eat on planet Earth.
Eight billion people on planet Earth. And you just never
(39:06):
really think about how much food it takes to feed
eight billion people because most of you don't do dinner parties.
I do. So if I'm doing a dinner party for
four people, I realize how much that food that's going
to take. So apples, apple pie, apple sauce, apple cider,
app you know, regular apples just bite into an apple weed,
(39:30):
Apples in a lot of different things. So the average
person in Nevada eats forty nine point nine apples per pound.
I mean forty five pounds of apples a year. Now,
I know that sounds alike a lot. And remember these
per capita things, they really just take the amount that
(39:50):
we use and divide it by the population of the state.
That doesn't mean everybody in the state is eating forty
five pounds of apples. Some people might eating one hundred
and thirty pounds. Some restaurants might be using five thousand pounds.
But it's just a matter of They divide the number
of people in the state into the total amount of
apples that you know, So that's what these numbers are
(40:11):
going to reflect. So it's forty five point nine pounds
of apple per person per year. That is a one
hundred and fifty million pounds or seventy five thousand tons
one hundred and fifty million million. With an m pounds
(40:33):
of apples one five zero comma one zero zero comma
zero zero zero, one hundred and can you imagine how
many apples is one hundred and fifty million pounds. This
is just for Nevada. This is not for all fifty states.
This is just Nevada. One hundred and fifty million pounds
(41:00):
in the United States eats billions with a b of
pounds bananas. Who doesn't love bananas? Thirteen pounds a person
or forty three million pounds of bananas. Most bananas do
not grow in the United States. Okay, most do not.
(41:24):
How many frequent flyer miles does forty three million pounds
of bananas? How much fossil fuel? That's just Nevada, So
they gotta get We don't grow any bananas in Nevada.
So that means we gotta import forty three million pounds
of Nevada of bananas. Oranges twenty seven pounds per person
(41:51):
or eighty eight million, three hundred thousand pounds per year
in Nevada of oranges, some of those from California, some
of those from Florida. Eighty eight million pounds. Our brains
can't even comprehend how much food that is. You have
(42:11):
no idea how much space eighty three million pounds of
oranges would take up. And again this is just Nevada. Okay.
Cantalo nineteen million pounds, not that much. I had a
lot of cantalope. A million pounds of that is me.
Uh but yeah, nineteen point nine million pounds just Nevada
(42:36):
of cantalope or ten thousand tons basically tomatoes all uses.
That means sauces and cooking and vallads and everything. One
hundred and two million pounds, one hundred and two million,
seven hundred thousand pounds of tomatoes just Nevada, which again
(43:02):
means the US eats billions with a B pounds. Potatoes
is the big one. It's the largest of any crop. Potatoes.
On average, people in Nevada eat fifty pounds a person.
That's you know, it's like four pounds of potatoes a month.
(43:24):
It's one hundred and sixty one million pounds, one hundred
and sixty one million pounds bell peppers thirty six million
pounds onions, sixty eight million pounds, lettuce ninety three point
five million pounds, broccoli nineteen point nine million pounds, Cauliflower
(43:51):
only ten point eight million pounds, lentils only three million pounds.
The best source of protein around and we're only eating
three million pounds of it. That's probably a large portion
belongs to me. Other dried beans and pulses thirty one
million pounds. That's better, and rice eighty five million pounds. Now,
(44:20):
when I was thinking about you know, how much does
it take to feed Nevada. I did not realize that
it took one hundred million pounds of tomatoes, and you know,
sixty eight million pounds of onions, one hundred and fifty
million pounds of apples, or one hundred and eighty five
(44:42):
million pounds of potatoes. They would take a lot, a
lot of vertical gardens to grow all that, but they
grow it somewhere. And that's just for our state. That's
not for the entire United State. Eat. So let's talk
(45:02):
about meat. You know, I don't eat it, but let's
talk about it. How much meat does the country, not
just Nevada, but the country. How much meat does it use? Oh? Wait,
it opened the wrong open the wrong file. Meat consumption US,
meat and seafood. Come on, open up, keeps opening the
(45:24):
wrong one unless I save the wrong one. Oh here
it is okay, these numbers. Oh my god. Now this
is for the United States, not just Nevada. And as
on Christmas, eveve Tomorrow and Christmas, you're probably gonna eat meat.
If you're not meat. Chicken, Okay, chicken, it's the most popular,
(45:47):
by the way, sixty eight pounds of chicken for every American,
for three hundred and forty million Americans, that's twenty two
billion with a B, twenty two point eight million pounds
(46:07):
of chicken, twenty two billion with a BE. That is
about five point five billion chickens that have to eat.
They have to eat. The chickens have to eat feed
and scratch and grain. They poop, they pee, They need
space to live in five point four billion chickens. Now,
(46:34):
remember your brain can't comprehend a billion. You're hearing that
number and you're going, that's a lot. You have no
idea that could stretch to Mars and back. That's how
many chickens. That is beef eighteen point eight billion pounds
or thirty seven million cows. Thirty seven million cows, and
(47:00):
those thirty seven million cows each take forty gallons of
water a day a day, these thirty seven million cows
pork fifteen point nine billion pounds or one hundred and
six million pigs per year. Turkey only five billion pounds
(47:25):
and three hundred and thirty five million turkeys, and most
of those Christmas and Thanksgiving lamb and veal only four
hundred and thirty five million pounds, not billion seafood one
point nine billion pounds of shrimp, one billion pounds of salmon,
nine hundred million pounds of tuna, three hundred and sixty
(47:49):
four billion pounds or million pounds of tilapia, and then
other seafood lobster, crab, catfish two point five billion pounds.
And that's just the United States with only three hundred
and forty million people. So how much is the world consuming?
(48:12):
Astronomical amounts? That's where climate change is happening. That's why
climate change is happening. If it takes five billion chickens
just to feed the US, how many does it take
to feed the world, Well over one hundred billion chickens.
(48:39):
If it takes thirty seven million cows to feed just
the United States, it takes over three billion Rhythby cows
to feed the world. This is why we are in
the dilemma that we are in. If we only had
(49:01):
a small population, you wouldn't need to be vegan. You know,
eat what you want because you're not mass producing so
much that it's killing the planet. But because there's eight
billion people, including three hundred and forty million in the
United States, as you heard from, just the numbers for Nevada.
(49:23):
There's an enormous amount of produce and fruits and vegetables
and meat that's needed to meet our requirements. And we're
only growing. We're not shrinking, We're growing. This has to change.
We have to change the way that we produce our food.
We have to. We cannot keep producing this much food
(49:47):
on the land that we have. We just can't. So
we are going to have to do vertical gardening. We
are going to have to do. We might even have
to put them up in the sky or how have
another planet or I mean, it's a shit ton of food,
and you know your ass is gonna bean a lot
tomorrow and thirsty, you're gonna be putting a dent in
(50:10):
those numbers.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
All right.
Speaker 4 (50:12):
We will finish up the Christmas Eve Eve show when
we come back. You know, we talked a lot about
pet peeves, things that piss us off. I'm gonna talk
about things that make me happy this holiday season and

Speaker 5 (51:29):
He.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Sat stay.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
No show. You know on these numbers, one hundred and
thirty four million pounds of lobster every year eating in
the United States. I wonder if that's just the tail,
(52:06):
the tail in the clause, or if that's the weight
of the whole lobster, because you can't eat the whole lobster.
Lobsters look like bugs. Don't eat a lobster. All right,
it's Christmas eveve Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, the day after
is Christmas. If you celebrate, if you're Jewish, Tonica going on,
there's quansa going I mean, there's just it's the holidays.
So whatever holiday you're celebrating, it's now. Now is the time.
(52:32):
And you know, we talked about pet peaves like Salvation
Army Santas. They pissed me off. The CEO of Salvation
Army makes a fortune. The workers at Salvation Army do not.
It is the most Them and Goodwill are two of
the most exploitative agencies. And at Christmas Day act like
they're out there giving presents to everybody. They're not toys
(52:53):
for todds. I like, that's a positive thing on Christmas.
That's the Marines and all of those toys go to
needy children. I always give to Toy for Tots. I
also give it food drives on Christmas. I think that's
very important to give food to food drives at Christmas,
but don't give anything in those kettles that those places
(53:16):
don't need your money. They exploit people. So I was
thinking that since we talked pet peeves like those two,
I just mentioned that we would also talk things that
were joyous about on this holiday season. Number one, for
me is you, guys, of course, another year of being
with you. This is my seventh years, my eighth Christmas
(53:38):
in Las Vegas, and my seventh Christmas doing shows in
Las Vegas. I came to Vegas between Christmas and New
Year's of twenty seventeen and then moved here in March
of twenty eighteen. So seven years, seven Christmases with you
right here in Vegas, seven years of the podcast from Vegas,
(53:58):
seven years of this post, and my YouTube video still
only get three hundred video three hundred views after seven years. Jesus,
I should quit ah kidding, but you know what I
mean anyway, So what are we grateful for on this
Christmas Eve Eve? Well, I'm grateful that tomorrow Christmas Eve,
(54:19):
I will see Steve. I am grateful that I have
a tree and a beautiful dog to lay under it.
I'm grateful that I did get some presents. You know
that there are a few presents under the tree from Steve,
and you know Heather Jake all that. I am grateful
(54:39):
that Donald Trump is so sick, crazy thing to be
grateful for. But if he was in perfect health, it'd
be much worse. But he's not, so it's a good
chance in the new year that he'll be gone. So
that's that's a Christmas Eve Eve blessing. One of the
other things I like about Christmas. I do like that
(54:59):
around Christmas we tend to be nicer. We just do.
I don't know why some people tend to bemeanor, but
you know what I mean, most people tend to be
nicer at Christmas, and I do like that. What about you,
What are some of the things you like about I
like the change in the weather. You know, here in Vegas,
(55:21):
it's nice that it's not roasting. It's seventy still during
the day, which is unseasonably hot, but at least it's
not one hundred and twenty. So I do like the
change of weather around Christmas. I do like talking to
a lot of people that I don't normally speak to
because they text, you know, but instead on Christmas they
actually call, so that's very very nice. I like all
(55:45):
the color, all the lights. I wish we kept beautiful
lights around all year long. I have been in the
living room every night since I put up the tree
that on Black Friday. Every night I don't come into
the TV room to watch TV Viet night because the
Christmas tree, and the little Christmas tree, and the patio
Christmas ornaments. I can see them all from the sofa,
(56:07):
and so I look at them. I think they're beautiful.
Christmas lights are gorgeous, and I wish we were that decorative,
you know, the rest of the year, but you know,
Christmas is, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful view. Stores are
decked out, houses are decked out. I really love all
the decoration of Christmas. I do. What about you? What
(56:32):
are some of the things you love. I'd love for
you to put it down below. We know we don't
like about Christmas, the commercialism, you know, the music after
a while, you know, the stress of the holiday, the
pressure to be happy, all of that. But I do
love the decorations. I love family, and on Christmas we
(56:53):
tend to reach out to family a little bit more.
I love some of the entertainment that's around that's not
always around, you know, some of the shows that are
on that aren't always on. That's great. I love the
holiday movies we talked about yesterday, that we get to
watch them at the holiday. That's really cool. It's a blessing.
(57:15):
If you have a tree, it's a blessing if you're
having dinner or lunch with anybody. So, what are some
of the things you are happy about on this Christmas?
I'm happy there are still some Democrats that are still fighting.
Jasmine Crockett, Oh my boy, the vegan. What's his name?
(57:35):
Always handsome? Corey Booker, you know, Corey Booker is still
out there fighting. There's several Democrats that are still fighting.
They're still trying. I'm grateful for them this Christmas. I'm
grateful for the gift of people still trying to defend
our rights, you know, I am. I'm grateful that in
the new year we are going to be able to
(57:56):
pick a new Senator and Congress people and maybe take
back the House and send it. That's a lovely thought
this Christmas. So, this Christmas, what are some of the
things that you're happy about? I would love to hear
them in the comments down below. What are some of
the joys of Christmas this year? Do you have a
(58:18):
new baby in the world. Do you have a new
dogg eary kiddy, you know, did you make a new
friend this year that you're celebrating with. What are some
of the joys of Christmas that you have this year,
share them with us. Christmas is about sharing, So put
it down below. So down below, A, put your pet peeves,
(58:38):
b put the things you're happy about. Okay, and boy,
I don't know what you would comment about those food numbers.
That's why climate change is such a big issue, because
those numbers are staggering. We eat so much food. I
wonder if ol zepic is going to put a dent
(58:59):
in those numbers at all, like even just a little dnt.
Maybe people aren't eating as much. So maybe all right,
I am krel be who you want to be. I'll
be back tomorrow Christmas Eve. We're gonna be talking about
the true origins of Christmas and discussing some Christmas music
and the true origins of that. So we'll be talking
about that tomorrow. Then on Christmas Day is my music Day,
(59:23):
the day that we are going to talk about all
of my music because it's Christmas. Why not have music
and some of the stories behind the phone. So that's
gonna be this week on the show. Hope you join me.
Thank you for joining me today. I see who you
want to be? Something hurt anybody, and don't forget to

it seems like you're taking them back out just two
weeks later. I don't know about y'all, but as you age,
do you find the years just really fly by, like
(01:23):
really fly by. It's like totally fly by. I find
that they do. I really do? You know? I got
a lovely text last week that I didn't share. Oh
share well, but it's from a woman who graduated high
school in nineteen sixty two, of the year I was born.
And she said she worries about me because I worry
too much. And I do worry a lot. I do,
(01:46):
I really do. Sorry, my glass was on the wrong
place on my ear. And it's funny because the topic
that I had slated for today, I will spreadsheet of
topics here the beginning topic. You know, we talk about
miracles at Christmas, a Christmas miracle and you know the
(02:08):
movies we talked about yesterday, a lot of them have
Christmas miracles in them. And there's a great song by
Denise Williams. But it's gonna take a miracle. And I
thought I was thinking today, which is unusual for me.
You all know that's not true. I was thinking that
(02:30):
I don't believe in miracles. I believe in extraordinary things
that happen that seem miraculous. Well let me rephrase, okay,
because I do believe in miracles. You know, like when
a baby is born, that's a miracle. I mean that's
just like, Wow, you made a human. You know, that's incredible.
(02:53):
And there are so many things in life that are miraculous.
Views you'll stop until you know the view in Ireland.
There have been so many times when we were motorcycling
through Ireland where Brandon and I just pulled over and stopped,
and Daniel was in the car behind us, pulled over
and stopped and just looked at this miraculous view, gorgeous,
(03:14):
rolling green hills and ocean and just God, I wish
I could live there. I do just beautiful, beautiful country.
So I do believe in miracles, but not the kind
that most people believe in. I don't believe in miracles
from God. I don't believe in God, and I don't
believe in supernatural woo woo miracles. But I do know
that things are miraculous. Ember is miraculous. What a miraculous thing.
(03:38):
Dogs are? They are unconditional love. They adore us there
they they die too soon, but you know, they're they're miracles.
They're they're just little miracles. And I was thinking about
that today because given what's going on even this week,
which I said, I'm not going to talk about Trump
or politics on the week of Christmas or New Year's
(03:59):
so I'm trying not to. You know, last week his
press conference was enough to keep me going for two months,
but whatever or his nighttime address. Unless he drops dead,
then we'll talk about that over the holidays. We'll have
a fester. That would be a miracle. I started thinking
in a down moment, because in the holidays you go
(04:21):
up and down about what it's going to take to
turn the world around. Not just the US, but the
world is headed in the wrong direction, and we don't
need to be We have the total ability to be
headed in the right direction. We have the best technology
(04:42):
now ever AI and many other things. You know, the
technology is incredible. We have access to so many miraculous
things that we could be headed in the total right direction.
But we're not wondering what Christmas miracle do we need
(05:06):
and how are we going to get it? How are
we going to get this Christmas miracle? And then I
thought to myself, maybe we already have it, very wizard
of oz. Maybe the power to write our ship has
been ours all along. Maybe we you and I the
(05:28):
fact that we share this time together, Maybe we are
the Christmas miracles that we need. Maybe we're enough. Maybe
we are enough of a miracle because we can do
miraculous things. In Australia, the guy that tackled the Gunman.
(05:48):
That was miraculous. Maybe we're the miracle that this Kris.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Maybe visiting really correll dot com daily, you're missing out.
Get the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at
reallycrrell dot com. That's really k A r e l
dot com.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Corel is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
You know, I'm not done thinking about this topic yet.
It's the holidays. We can just chit chat because I
hear a lot that you know, there's no and in
the new year. You know, I don't want this next
year to be like last year. And so we hear
a lot miss Ember, what are you doing pacing around? Now?
I hear you pacing around? What are you doing? Come
on in here, honey, Come on, it's a Christmas show.
(06:53):
I've got a hat on. Come on. So I hear
a lot of people over the holidays say, well, there's
nothing I can do. You know, this is nothing I
can do. Like next year, there's nothing I can do.
I can't change Donald Trump's mind. I can't I can't
get him out of office. I can't you know, I
(07:14):
only have so much power. I can vote and that's
about all I can do. Other than that, what else
can I do? I hear that a lot. What else
can I do? You know it's going to take a miracle,
and there's a lot that each of us can do.
We just forget and just like I said that we
(07:37):
are the miracle, we are also the answer. The answer
to every single problem is us, You and me. We're
the answer. There's no problem that you and I can't
solve if there's the will. And that's what we need
going into the new year. On this Christmas Eve eve,
(08:00):
that's what we need more than anything, the will, the
will to keep going, the will to keep fighting, the
will to make changes, maybe the will to leave the country.
We need the will because where there's a will, there's
a way, and I think Trump and this last year
(08:22):
has done a lot to beat the will out of us.
And Christmas is about renewal. It's about celebrating joy and
love and peace and happiness, and about looking towards the
new year. It's about giving. I still want your comments
from yesterday. I asked for your comments about what the
Christmas spirit means to you? What does Christmas? What's the
real Christmas mean to you? You know, this last year
(08:46):
has tried to just beat us down in every aspect financially,
it's tried to rob us. You know, I just read
I set myself something. Where is it here? Oh? Yeah?
How much do you need to be in the top
ten percent of your state or of the country. How
(09:10):
much money do you need to be in the wealthiest
ten percent of the US households nationally? It's two hundred
and ten thousand a year and holdings of one point
eight million in net worth. That would put you in
the wealthiest ten percent of Americans. And if we say
the wealthiest ten percent out of three hundred and thirty
(09:31):
five million people, that means only thirty three million people.
Think about that, the wealthiest ten To be in the
top ten percent of wage journers, you have to make
two hundred and ten thousand a year or have one
point eight million dollars in net worth. That means only
thirty four million people have that. That means three hundred
(09:55):
and six million people or more are not. They're in
the ninety percent. They're not in the top ten percent.
I'm not in the top ten percent. Most of you
aren't in the top ten percent. We're in the ninety
And yet every business I know this Christmas has crafted
their business around the top ten percent. Hotels charging huge fees,
(10:20):
rental car companies, grocery stores. Everything around us is really
built as if we're all in the top ten percent,
but really we're That means ninety percent of us don't
make two hundred and ten thousand dollars a year. And
in today's world, that's not that much money. And ninety
(10:40):
percent of us don't make that as a household, not
just individually, as a household, two hundred and ten grand.
Ninety percent of us don't make that. That's something. That's something.
So when I think about miracles and Christmas miracles, think
about frustration, people saying, you know, it's gonna take a
(11:04):
miracle to fix this. No, it's going to take people
with the will to fix it, people with the strength,
with the stamina, with the intelligence to fix it. You know,
the midterms are coming up this next year. There's a
Christmas gift for you. The midterms are coming up. Hopefully
(11:27):
Democrats will win, win big, win control of the House
and Senate and put an end to this madness. Next
Christmas we may be celebrating the end of trump Ism.
Wouldn't that be a miracle? Sit? I mean, by what
is a real miracle? Wouldn't that be a miracle. If
(11:50):
next Christmas, because of the midterms, we're actually celebrating the
end of trump Ism, that would be something. That would
be something, because look, the holidays are stressful, no matter
how you slice it. Now, some of you have no
stress over the holidays, and I hate you, I absolutely
(12:11):
hate you. Most people are stressed. Oh my god, I
used to stress. I used to be a Christmas Eve shopper.
I'm not anymore. But when Andrew was alive, I was
a Christmas eve shopper and I would get so stressed
on Christmas Eve out shopping. Oh, I'd get so stressed. Parking,
lots stress, just store stressed, just all kinds of stressed.
(12:32):
One Christmas Eve, I went out shopping while Andrew and
Emily stayed home drinking vood cluco. I got home so stressed,
and they laughed at me so much because they were
buzzed on the voov cluco. I got so mad. Oh,
Emily still talks about it. I got furious because I
was stressed. Holidays are stressed. They make you feel bad
(12:53):
if you don't have enough money to share gifts that
you want to share. The new year is coming, there's
pressure to be better, to be different, to make changes.
Families gather, and that's stressful. So the holidays are stressed,
and you got to get rid of that stress. By
the way, don't carry it through this week. Today is
(13:14):
Christmas Eveve, and don't be stressing about tomorrow. Don't be
stressing about Thursday. You know, Andrew, you Steff saying I
would always stress out about going places. I was always
on a schedule, even when we were vacationing. We gotta leave,
we gotta get to the airport at this time. We
(13:34):
have to get to or going to a party, we
gotta leave, we gotta get to the party at this time.
And Andrew would always say, I am not gonna go
if you're gonna stress over something fun. If whatever we're
about to do is supposed to be fun, I am
not going to participate if you stress beforehand. And he
(13:55):
kept that same view about Christmas in New Year's He
was like, if you're we're going to stress around Christmas,
that we just won't celebrate. I'm not gonna have it.
He had HIV. He was like, I'm not gonna have
the stress. You want to stress, then we'll just skip it.
And that taught me a lot. And so I don't
(14:16):
want you stressing today, Tomorrow, Thursday. If you're going to
Thanks or Christmas with Maga, don't go. If you have
to go, get drunk or eat an edible medicate. You know,
medication over the holidays is fine. That's why people drink
at this time of year. That's why during Festivus and
(14:37):
the other things that we're going to talk about tomorrow,
that's why that happened. It was short days, long nights.
They were bored, they were you know, stressed, so they drank.
I'm not saying get drunk, but I am saying a
little nog with some whiskey and it will do a
(14:59):
lot to ease holiday stress. So try not to be
stressful and remember self. You can still practice self care
over the holidays. You can do yoga, you can go
for walks, you can go to a spa day. You know,
if you want to, you don't have to, you know,
you do whatever you want. Just don't, you know, overly
(15:21):
stress because it really is huge this time of year.
Holiday depression, holiday stress, people feeling stressed because they're not happy.
Imagine being so unhappy that you're stressed about being unhappy.
That's got to be terrible. Beating yourself up over not
being happy. That's and people do, especially this time of year.
(15:45):
They beat themselves up because they're not being happy. It's like, yeah,
you know what, save it. So holiday stress is real,
and there's a lot of people out there telling you
ways to relieve it. Take time out of the day
for yourself. I say, get high, get an edible, have
(16:07):
a drink, whatever, get buzzed, because, as I said before,
the true meaning of Christmas is surviving it. That's a
lot of those movies they don't even know it, but
inadvertently they've shown the true meaning of diard. You know,
the true meaning of Christmas. Survive it, get through it.
(16:27):
You just got to get to Friday. Today's Tuesday. You
just got to get to Friday. Get to Friday. Let
the stress go. Start Looking towards the new year, we're
gonna have midterms. Maybe Donald Trump will drop dead. We
know he's unhealthy, sick and dying. We know that maybe
the holidays will stress him out so much he'll just
(16:47):
kill over what a happy New Year that would be.
So just get to Friday and then let it go.
That's why I'm taking down my decorations this weekend. I
don't know when y'all do. Some of you leave it
up till past the new year. And I know there's
the twelve Days of Christmas. So the twelve days of
Christmas start the twenty fifth, that's when they start. The
(17:08):
first day of Christmas is Christmas. That's the first day
of Christmas when your true love gives you a fucking
partridge and a tree that's gonna shit all over your yard.
In fact, that whole song is filled with gifts that
crap and eat turtle doves, maids of milking, which means
you gotta have cows. Lords are leaping. I like those,
(17:32):
but you know, drummer's drumming gonna keep you up all
fucking night. Really, the twelve days of Christmas, I don't
want half those gifts. I don't want drummers drumming. I'm
in a marching band. Maids of milking, What the hell
do I need milkmaids for? You know, lord's a leaping
I'll take all the birds hens, French hens. I don't
(17:53):
care if they have baguettes in their hands and wear berets.
I don't need French hends. I don't eat them. I
want to do with them. So, but the first day
of the twelve day of Christmas is Christmas in two days,
and then it goes for twelve days, and so a
lot of you leave your Christmas stuff up for the
twelve days of Christmas, which brings it well well into January.
(18:18):
I and even my stuff up till January. It's coming
down Saturday. Okay, Saturday, Christmas goes back in the box,
back into the closet. That's it done. Get rid of
all the tinsel, get rid of everything, all the wrapping paper.
All you people that save wrapping paper, What the hell?
Who are you? Oh Carrel? You never know? Nowadays everything
(18:41):
comes in a bag. You notice that no one really
wraps presents anymore. Your bags. Don't put my fucking gift
in a bag. Wrap my damn gift. Bring it to
the When you buy a gift in a department store,
they have a gift wrapping place. Do you know that
Macy's has gift wrapping? If you buy something in Macy's.
You can bring it to the gift apartment, the gift
wrapping department. Most of them have a gift wrapping department.
(19:04):
Or at Christmas, all those charity people are set up
like in malls and stuff and you can bring your
gifts and drop them off and they'll wrap them. Don't
be putting shit in a bag leaving it in the
Amazon box. Oh how many gifts do you get now?
In an Amazon box? That is just that's depressing. I mean,
it gives the gift and God bless them, you know,
(19:26):
thoughts of thought, but an Amazon puts them in these
stew You pay four bucks for a gift bag from
Amazon and it's like a muslin bag with a little
bow on top. It's like it. But hey, who am
I right now? I'd be grateful if I get any
of those by Christmas. So destress over Christmas. And we
(19:47):
are the miracle. We are the Christmas miracle. We are
all we need for the new year to make all
the changes that we need to make. Don't feel powerless, like,
oh what am I gonna do? What am I supposed
to to do? How do I deal? How do I cope?
How do I that's why you get stressed, because you
feel powerless. And I'm look, in some cases we are
(20:07):
Trump signs an executive order. What the hell can we
do about it? Not much? But that doesn't mean we
should feel like we can't do anything about anything. We
still can. On this Christmas Eve Eve, just know that
you're the only gift you need. You you got it all.
(20:28):
You're the gift that you need, So revel in that.
All right, We are going to talk food because you
know some of you are already cooking for tomorrow or
for Thursday, or tomorrow and Thursday. Because some people do
Christmas Eve dinner, some people do Christmas Day. I do both.
I love Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day, FYI I do.
(20:51):
For me, Christmas Eve is Christmas. I don't know about y'all,
but for me, Christmas Eve is Christmas. It's dark and
you know, the presence are all there, and I like
to open presence on Christmas. Yeah. But we're gonna talk
food and the astounding amount that we eat and how
it affects our clients and what we can do moving
(21:12):
forward to health change. Talk about that. When we come back.
Don't go anywhere. I'll go pets. Oh yes, pet, oh
holiday pets. Oh yeah, and I want to hear your
down below? Oh yes, yes, I do say.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All right? Holiday pet peeves? Oh you know the other
day because around the holidays parking is one of them.
Oh my god, people are people go crazy in parking
lots over the holidays. I don't know why, but they
just do. They like to lose all their fucking minds,
Like it's really going to kill you to walk thirty
extra feet. You know, look at your fat ass. You
(22:21):
should be parking in Pacoima and walking here. But whatever.
So the other day is at the park, and well,
you know, I'm at the park every day, and there
was a holiday gathering. It was over this last weekend
and it was a baseball holiday gathering. They were playing
holiday baseball. They all had little Santa caps on, and
(22:42):
you know, they look on a cute, these guys. But
so they all have these big trucks because they all
have their little dicks, and so, you know, big truck,
the bigger the truck, the smaller the penis. So I
have mentioned this before, but Saturday, Oh my god. Some
that happened to me once happened to me again. I
(23:02):
couldn't believe it. I could not believe it happened twice,
and it pushed me over the edge. Embers peeing. We
first got off the motorcycle and we're walking a little
bit and she stops to pee and a truck is
backing in because there are men and their assholes and
only men back into parking spaces. And the rule when
you're parking is that your car is not supposed to
(23:26):
encroach on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh no, every truck there was hanging over the sidewalk,
so the sidewalk was basically almost useless. This one guy,
just like it happened to me three weeks ago, he
was backing in and we were on the sidewalk and
he nearly hit us with his truck, and when he
got out, he smart mouthed me and said it was
my fault. Why you're standing behind.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
My truck, And well, dude, your truck is not supposed
to be over the sidewalk, and he starts yelling at
me again, just like this other guy did three spirit
with his kid right there waiting to go to baseball,
and in the holiday spirit, I simply turned and said,
you know, what you have a merry fucking Christmas.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
That is such a pet peeve of mine. If I
could get some sort of huge chainsaw and cut through
the cars and the trucks right where the curb is,
If I could do that, I would. If I were
a cop, I'd ticket every single one of those motherfuckers.
Pisses me off. Do not block the sidewalk with your
(24:38):
behemoth vehicle, car or truck. Don't do it. Just what
are some of your pet peeves? I'd love to hear
down below. What are some of your pet peas putting
around the holidays? Another pet peeve of mine. No vegan options.
This is twenty twenty five. Vegans have been around since
(24:58):
the dawn of fucking man kind. In fact, early man
were not carnivores. They were both basically vegans. They had
no refrigeration for the meat, and it wasn't easy to catch.
They ate more fruits and nuts and berries and seeds
and vegetables than they did meat. This notion that the
carnivore diet is meat is just stupid. It wasn't. It's
(25:22):
twenty twenty five Half Christmas vegan options period, just period.
So many places are having special holiday menus, and not
even an option that pisses me off? What other little
holiday pet peeves do you have? Hm? Christmas music? I
(25:47):
get tired of it at this point, I'm tired of it.
I don't want to hear it anymore. I know tomorrow's Christmas,
even then there's Christmas Day, but I'm so sick of
have yourself a merry little Christmas or all I want
for Christmas is you or you know, silent or jingle bells,
which is a racist song. I'm tired of. What else
pet peeves? Anything about the Christmas tree? That's a pet
(26:08):
peeve of mine? Not really. I don't like those little
wire hanger things. I really don't because they all get
bunched up. Can we sell wire hangers that don't find
a way to group themselves all together? So you got
to shake and shake and shake, and then it rains
little wire hangers? And then, oh, is there a better way?
(26:28):
Do any of you have a life hack for wirehanging
to replace wire hangers for ornaments because they always get
all messed up? Ugh, that's a pet peeve of mine?
What is it? What's what's some holiday pet peeves of yours?
Put it down below? People. Look, I am a vegan,
but do not stuff your turkey with stuff raw stuffing.
(26:54):
Don't stuff a raw bird with raw stuffing and then
put it in the oven. Don't do it. You cook
the stuffing separately. And then if you want to put
some cooked stuffing into the bird as you're finishing it off, fine,
what are you stiff your turkey with gorilla? I don't
eat turkey, but if I did, I would put chopped onions,
(27:18):
chopped celery, and some garlic inside the bird. Not stuffing.
Salmonilla from the bird goes into the stuffing. And if
the stuffing doesn't cook fully, you can give your guest
food poisoning. No stuffing in the bird. Oh, that breaks
(27:39):
with tradition. Tradition was wrong. They didn't know shit about salmonilla. Lord,
that is that's a fat beeve of mine. No vegan options.
People who don't know how to cook their damn turkeys.
If you're gonna cook a turkey, cook it right. Do
you brind your turkey?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Why the fuck? Not? A turkey is no good unless
you brine it. Get an ice chest today. It's not
too late. Get anice chest today. Put your turkey in
it today. In a brine solution. Okay, people who don't
cook proper holiday food sends me? What else? What other
(28:27):
holiday pet peeves?
Speaker 7 (28:28):
Do?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
I have? People who want to sleep in on Christmas?
I don't even care if you're single. What the fuck
is wrong with you? It's Christmas morning, Get out of bed,
get up. Why are you texting me at seven am
on Christmas Day? It's a holiday. You should have been
awake at five. It's Christmas. Get up, have tea, enjoy
(28:52):
your tree. It's Christmas. Well, the beauty of not having kids. Girls,
we get to sleep in on Christmas. That's not beauty.
That's lazy. It is Christmas freaking morning. That's when miracles happen.
Get up and experience the miracle. What else? What other
Christmas pet peeves? I'd love to hear yours down below
(29:14):
in the comments section, or send them to comments at
really corel dot com. We are talking about food. I'm
going to tell you about food and the amount of
it and why we're really screwed to the world when
it comes to climate chy. I don't want to burst
your Christmas joy bubbles. Oh we've got some changes. You're
(29:38):
not gonna believe you're not.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
You're not gonna believe.
Speaker 4 (29:43):

Corilla is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Now it's show time.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
You wouldn't be a holiday without food. But how much
food does your state really eat? Like really? And where
does it all come from? We're gonna talk about that
and so much more on this Christmas Eve Eve.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Correl cat uncensored, unfiltered, fun, hinged.

It's the Corral Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
It is the Crowdcast. I am Correl. It's Christmas Eve Eve.
I am so glad you are joining me. I hope
you're having a fun week. It's a holiday week. Many
of you aren't working. Many of you are and blessed
to be. But you know what I'm saying, it's a
holiday week and next week too, so it's much lighter
show wise, and much as much lighter everything, unless, of course,
(31:20):
Trump drops dead in which case we'll probably have a party,
but he wouldn't do us the decency of doing that.
Over Christmas. I want to talk about food, because of
course Christmas Eve is about food. Christmas Day is about food,
if you're lucky enough.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
To have it.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
If not, maybe you're out giving out to somebody, you know,
giving feeding people at the mission, or giving away at
food banks or whatever, noble of you to do that.
So let me tell you the genesis of this story,
and then I'll get to the numbers. So I entertained,
not in reality, maybe I don't know. I entertained running
(31:58):
for governor of the state of Nevada. Nevada's got some
real problems, water being number one, just the first problem,
and the second food. If I were a governor, I
would only concentrate on things that everybody needs. Food, water, housing,
clean air. Those four things would be my platform. The essentials.
(32:19):
I'm the essential governor because I deal with only the essentials.
All the other stuff, you know, the biggest because when
you think about housing, that homelessness falls under that. When
you think of food, climate change and water falls under that,
you know, So when you think of just the essentials,
what does a human need air to breathe, so it
(32:42):
should be clear. Did you see Deli last week? In
this week Deli, they can't even go outside. Their air
is so unhealthy. In Delhi they literally can't go outside.
And that's going to be many cities. I saw extrapolations
on Apple TV. So the basics, the essentials. I thought,
if I ran for governor, I would focus on the essentials. Food, water, air, housing.
(33:07):
Those are the things that I would make my state
lead the way in and then all the other stuff
would fall, you know, fall under it. And I started
thinking about food, you know, since I was thinking about
running for governor, and I thought, Nevada doesn't grow shit.
It just there's no farmland here really, and mainly because
(33:31):
we're a desert and you know, or mountainous and there's just,
you know, no place to grow food. There are some
farms here, don't get me wrong, and some cattle ranches
and some you know, there's some, but certainly not mass amounts.
We're not California or the Midwest. And so I started thinking, like, well,
(33:51):
where do we get our food? And I just started
going through my food in the house and all of it,
all of it, all of the food people eat in
Nevada is shipped in trucks, planes, trains, automobiles, camels. It's
all shipped in and we're a tourist destination. There's only
(34:16):
four point three million people that live in the state
of Nevada, but every year almost two million people come
and visit and they eat and so a lot. Have
you seen the buffets? So I started thinking, well, how
much is that if I were to run for governor
and say I want Nevada to be self sufficient, or
(34:39):
if I were to run for president and say I
want the United States to say I'm a vegan, and
so I want the United States to make its own
meat and dairy. I don't want us to have to
import any meat and dairy because it's bad for the environment.
How much would that be? Well, chat gpt and I
did some deep diving, and when I found the numbers
(35:03):
for just Nevada for produce, I I was gobsmacked because
I envisioned being able to make these fabulous vertical gardens
with solar power hydroponics, so it's that doesn't take a
lot of water and geothermal for heating in case it's temperate.
(35:25):
That you know, fruits and vegetables using the natural resources
to make big, beautiful vertical gardens. Well, I thought, how
many would you eat? We've got nothing but space, so
we've got the room. And I thought, well, how many
tomatoes do we eat in this state? Now? I remember
my state, just four million plus people. And when we combat,
(35:49):
I'm going to give you the numbers and you're going
to see why climate change is such a problem. This
explains and it's if.

Correll is the one that you need to.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Know, all right, it is the crowd cast. I am Correl.
Happy Christmas Eve Eve, the day before Christmas Eve. I'll
be here tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow. Show is gonna be about
the origins of Christmas. Why do we celebrate? What was
it before? What did we keep, what did we leave?
And how you celebrate. Also, I'll probably give you a
(36:50):
recipe for eggnog without the egg that's good. Uh. And
we're gonna talk about the origins of some of your
favorite Christmas songs. I'm not gonna play the Life in
Segment video clip that I have from when I did
it on Life and Segments, because I did that last year.
But we will be talking about the origin some of
them might surprise you of Christmas songs. All right. So
(37:13):
in my fantasy world where I was running for governor,
I thought, I want to make Nevada food self sufficient.
I think every state should make their state food self sufficient.
If I were president, I would push for that because
the number one cause of climate change our diet. Forty
(37:37):
plus percent of climate change is our diet. So the
fact that we meet in dairy is the first problem.
But even then, even if you're a vegan, which I am,
and you know we're all doing. If you are, you're
doing the right thing. It still takes room to grow
the food. And even though it's less impact on the
(37:58):
soil than meat and dairy and all that, it's better
for the world to be a vegan. Your produce and
your fruits and vegetables are being shipped halfway around the globe.
I eat two cups of fruit a day, A majority
of the fruit does not come from even the United States.
So I thought to myself, if I were to run
(38:19):
for governor, and I said, I'm going to make Nevada,
you know, self sufficient for fruits and vegetables at least
not so much meat, but fruits and vegetables. How much
how many vertical gardens am I going to eat? So
I went through just a couple big crops like the
biggies and said, you know, how much do we eat
(38:43):
per capita per person than total pounds? And how does that?
How many tons is that? And I when I saw
the numbers, I said, no, wonder the planet is fucked.
There are too many people trying to eat on planet Earth.
Eight billion people on planet Earth. And you just never
(39:06):
really think about how much food it takes to feed
eight billion people because most of you don't do dinner parties.
I do. So if I'm doing a dinner party for
four people, I realize how much that food that's going
to take. So apples, apple pie, apple sauce, apple cider,
app you know, regular apples just bite into an apple weed,
(39:30):
Apples in a lot of different things. So the average
person in Nevada eats forty nine point nine apples per pound.
I mean forty five pounds of apples a year. Now,
I know that sounds alike a lot. And remember these
per capita things, they really just take the amount that
(39:50):
we use and divide it by the population of the state.
That doesn't mean everybody in the state is eating forty
five pounds of apples. Some people might eating one hundred
and thirty pounds. Some restaurants might be using five thousand pounds.
But it's just a matter of They divide the number
of people in the state into the total amount of
apples that you know, So that's what these numbers are
(40:11):
going to reflect. So it's forty five point nine pounds
of apple per person per year. That is a one
hundred and fifty million pounds or seventy five thousand tons
one hundred and fifty million million. With an m pounds
(40:33):
of apples one five zero comma one zero zero comma
zero zero zero, one hundred and can you imagine how
many apples is one hundred and fifty million pounds. This
is just for Nevada. This is not for all fifty states.
This is just Nevada. One hundred and fifty million pounds
(41:00):
in the United States eats billions with a b of
pounds bananas. Who doesn't love bananas? Thirteen pounds a person
or forty three million pounds of bananas. Most bananas do
not grow in the United States. Okay, most do not.
(41:24):
How many frequent flyer miles does forty three million pounds
of bananas? How much fossil fuel? That's just Nevada, So
they gotta get We don't grow any bananas in Nevada.
So that means we gotta import forty three million pounds
of Nevada of bananas. Oranges twenty seven pounds per person
(41:51):
or eighty eight million, three hundred thousand pounds per year
in Nevada of oranges, some of those from California, some
of those from Florida. Eighty eight million pounds. Our brains
can't even comprehend how much food that is. You have
(42:11):
no idea how much space eighty three million pounds of
oranges would take up. And again this is just Nevada. Okay.
Cantalo nineteen million pounds, not that much. I had a
lot of cantalope. A million pounds of that is me.
Uh but yeah, nineteen point nine million pounds just Nevada
(42:36):
of cantalope or ten thousand tons basically tomatoes all uses.
That means sauces and cooking and vallads and everything. One
hundred and two million pounds, one hundred and two million,
seven hundred thousand pounds of tomatoes just Nevada, which again
(43:02):
means the US eats billions with a B pounds. Potatoes
is the big one. It's the largest of any crop. Potatoes.
On average, people in Nevada eat fifty pounds a person.
That's you know, it's like four pounds of potatoes a month.
(43:24):
It's one hundred and sixty one million pounds, one hundred
and sixty one million pounds bell peppers thirty six million
pounds onions, sixty eight million pounds, lettuce ninety three point
five million pounds, broccoli nineteen point nine million pounds, Cauliflower
(43:51):
only ten point eight million pounds, lentils only three million pounds.
The best source of protein around and we're only eating
three million pounds of it. That's probably a large portion
belongs to me. Other dried beans and pulses thirty one
million pounds. That's better, and rice eighty five million pounds. Now,
(44:20):
when I was thinking about you know, how much does
it take to feed Nevada. I did not realize that
it took one hundred million pounds of tomatoes, and you know,
sixty eight million pounds of onions, one hundred and fifty
million pounds of apples, or one hundred and eighty five
(44:42):
million pounds of potatoes. They would take a lot, a
lot of vertical gardens to grow all that, but they
grow it somewhere. And that's just for our state. That's
not for the entire United State. Eat. So let's talk
(45:02):
about meat. You know, I don't eat it, but let's
talk about it. How much meat does the country, not
just Nevada, but the country. How much meat does it use? Oh? Wait,
it opened the wrong open the wrong file. Meat consumption US,
meat and seafood. Come on, open up, keeps opening the
(45:24):
wrong one unless I save the wrong one. Oh here
it is okay, these numbers. Oh my god. Now this
is for the United States, not just Nevada. And as
on Christmas, eveve Tomorrow and Christmas, you're probably gonna eat meat.
If you're not meat. Chicken, Okay, chicken, it's the most popular,
(45:47):
by the way, sixty eight pounds of chicken for every American,
for three hundred and forty million Americans, that's twenty two
billion with a B, twenty two point eight million pounds
(46:07):
of chicken, twenty two billion with a BE. That is
about five point five billion chickens that have to eat.
They have to eat. The chickens have to eat feed
and scratch and grain. They poop, they pee, They need
space to live in five point four billion chickens. Now,
(46:34):
remember your brain can't comprehend a billion. You're hearing that
number and you're going, that's a lot. You have no
idea that could stretch to Mars and back. That's how
many chickens. That is beef eighteen point eight billion pounds
or thirty seven million cows. Thirty seven million cows, and
(47:00):
those thirty seven million cows each take forty gallons of
water a day a day, these thirty seven million cows
pork fifteen point nine billion pounds or one hundred and
six million pigs per year. Turkey only five billion pounds
(47:25):
and three hundred and thirty five million turkeys, and most
of those Christmas and Thanksgiving lamb and veal only four
hundred and thirty five million pounds, not billion seafood one
point nine billion pounds of shrimp, one billion pounds of salmon,
nine hundred million pounds of tuna, three hundred and sixty
(47:49):
four billion pounds or million pounds of tilapia, and then
other seafood lobster, crab, catfish two point five billion pounds.
And that's just the United States with only three hundred
and forty million people. So how much is the world consuming?
(48:12):
Astronomical amounts? That's where climate change is happening. That's why
climate change is happening. If it takes five billion chickens
just to feed the US, how many does it take
to feed the world, Well over one hundred billion chickens.
(48:39):
If it takes thirty seven million cows to feed just
the United States, it takes over three billion Rhythby cows
to feed the world. This is why we are in
the dilemma that we are in. If we only had
(49:01):
a small population, you wouldn't need to be vegan. You know,
eat what you want because you're not mass producing so
much that it's killing the planet. But because there's eight
billion people, including three hundred and forty million in the
United States, as you heard from, just the numbers for Nevada.
(49:23):
There's an enormous amount of produce and fruits and vegetables
and meat that's needed to meet our requirements. And we're
only growing. We're not shrinking, We're growing. This has to change.
We have to change the way that we produce our food.
We have to. We cannot keep producing this much food
(49:47):
on the land that we have. We just can't. So
we are going to have to do vertical gardening. We
are going to have to do. We might even have
to put them up in the sky or how have
another planet or I mean, it's a shit ton of food,
and you know your ass is gonna bean a lot
tomorrow and thirsty, you're gonna be putting a dent in
(50:10):
those numbers.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
All right.
Speaker 4 (50:12):
We will finish up the Christmas Eve Eve show when
we come back. You know, we talked a lot about
pet peeves, things that piss us off. I'm gonna talk

Speaker 5 (51:29):
He.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Sat stay.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
No show. You know on these numbers, one hundred and
thirty four million pounds of lobster every year eating in
the United States. I wonder if that's just the tail,
(52:06):
the tail in the clause, or if that's the weight
of the whole lobster, because you can't eat the whole lobster.
Lobsters look like bugs. Don't eat a lobster. All right,
it's Christmas eveve Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, the day after
is Christmas. If you celebrate, if you're Jewish, Tonica going on,
there's quansa going I mean, there's just it's the holidays.
So whatever holiday you're celebrating, it's now. Now is the time.
(52:32):
And you know, we talked about pet peaves like Salvation
Army Santas. They pissed me off. The CEO of Salvation
Army makes a fortune. The workers at Salvation Army do not.
It is the most Them and Goodwill are two of
the most exploitative agencies. And at Christmas Day act like
they're out there giving presents to everybody. They're not toys
(52:53):
for todds. I like, that's a positive thing on Christmas.
That's the Marines and all of those toys go to
needy children. I always give to Toy for Tots. I
also give it food drives on Christmas. I think that's
very important to give food to food drives at Christmas,
but don't give anything in those kettles that those places
(53:16):
don't need your money. They exploit people. So I was
thinking that since we talked pet peeves like those two,
I just mentioned that we would also talk things that
were joyous about on this holiday season. Number one, for
me is you, guys, of course, another year of being
with you. This is my seventh years, my eighth Christmas
(53:38):
in Las Vegas, and my seventh Christmas doing shows in
Las Vegas. I came to Vegas between Christmas and New
Year's of twenty seventeen and then moved here in March
of twenty eighteen. So seven years, seven Christmases with you
right here in Vegas, seven years of the podcast from Vegas,
(53:58):
seven years of this post, and my YouTube video still
only get three hundred video three hundred views after seven years. Jesus,
I should quit ah kidding, but you know what I
mean anyway, So what are we grateful for on this
Christmas Eve Eve? Well, I'm grateful that tomorrow Christmas Eve,
(54:19):
I will see Steve. I am grateful that I have
a tree and a beautiful dog to lay under it.
I'm grateful that I did get some presents. You know
that there are a few presents under the tree from Steve,
and you know Heather Jake all that. I am grateful
(54:39):
that Donald Trump is so sick, crazy thing to be
grateful for. But if he was in perfect health, it'd
be much worse. But he's not, so it's a good
chance in the new year that he'll be gone. So
that's that's a Christmas Eve Eve blessing. One of the
other things I like about Christmas. I do like that
(54:59):
around Christmas we tend to be nicer. We just do.
I don't know why some people tend to bemeanor, but
you know what I mean, most people tend to be
nicer at Christmas, and I do like that. What about you,
What are some of the things you like about I
like the change in the weather. You know, here in Vegas,
(55:21):
it's nice that it's not roasting. It's seventy still during
the day, which is unseasonably hot, but at least it's
not one hundred and twenty. So I do like the
change of weather around Christmas. I do like talking to
a lot of people that I don't normally speak to
because they text, you know, but instead on Christmas they
actually call, so that's very very nice. I like all
(55:45):
the color, all the lights. I wish we kept beautiful
lights around all year long. I have been in the
living room every night since I put up the tree
that on Black Friday. Every night I don't come into
the TV room to watch TV Viet night because the
Christmas tree, and the little Christmas tree, and the patio
Christmas ornaments. I can see them all from the sofa,
(56:07):
and so I look at them. I think they're beautiful.
Christmas lights are gorgeous, and I wish we were that decorative,
you know, the rest of the year, but you know,
Christmas is, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful view. Stores are
decked out, houses are decked out. I really love all
the decoration of Christmas. I do. What about you? What
(56:32):
are some of the things you love. I'd love for
you to put it down below. We know we don't
like about Christmas, the commercialism, you know, the music after
a while, you know, the stress of the holiday, the
pressure to be happy, all of that. But I do
love the decorations. I love family, and on Christmas we
(56:53):
tend to reach out to family a little bit more.
I love some of the entertainment that's around that's not
always around, you know, some of the shows that are
on that aren't always on. That's great. I love the
holiday movies we talked about yesterday, that we get to
watch them at the holiday. That's really cool. It's a blessing.
(57:15):
If you have a tree, it's a blessing if you're
having dinner or lunch with anybody. So, what are some
of the things you are happy about on this Christmas?
I'm happy there are still some Democrats that are still fighting.
Jasmine Crockett, Oh my boy, the vegan. What's his name?
(57:35):
Always handsome? Corey Booker, you know, Corey Booker is still
out there fighting. There's several Democrats that are still fighting.
They're still trying. I'm grateful for them this Christmas. I'm
grateful for the gift of people still trying to defend
our rights, you know, I am. I'm grateful that in
the new year we are going to be able to
(57:56):
pick a new Senator and Congress people and maybe take
back the House and send it. That's a lovely thought
this Christmas. So, this Christmas, what are some of the
things that you're happy about? I would love to hear
them in the comments down below. What are some of
the joys of Christmas this year? Do you have a
(58:18):
new baby in the world. Do you have a new
dogg eary kiddy, you know, did you make a new
friend this year that you're celebrating with. What are some
of the joys of Christmas that you have this year,
share them with us. Christmas is about sharing, So put
it down below. So down below, A, put your pet peeves,
(58:38):
b put the things you're happy about. Okay, and boy,
I don't know what you would comment about those food numbers.
That's why climate change is such a big issue, because
those numbers are staggering. We eat so much food. I
wonder if ol zepic is going to put a dent
(58:59):
in those numbers at all, like even just a little dnt.
Maybe people aren't eating as much. So maybe all right,
I am krel be who you want to be. I'll
be back tomorrow Christmas Eve. We're gonna be talking about
the true origins of Christmas and discussing some Christmas music
and the true origins of that. So we'll be talking
about that tomorrow. Then on Christmas Day is my music Day,
(59:23):
the day that we are going to talk about all
of my music because it's Christmas. Why not have music
and some of the stories behind the phone. So that's
gonna be this week on the show. Hope you join me.
Thank you for joining me today. I see who you
want to be? Something hurt anybody, and don't forget to
me comments down below? It really does help me. Plus,
I want to hear what you have to say about
these things.
