the show. Let's give it a go.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Corella is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Now.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
It's show side.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
While Trump is tearing down the house, We've got real
problems in the war. He has not settled in Ukraine
and the Israel truth. Plus is your la booboo a fraud.
Hollidays are coming, girl, we gotta talk about.

Speaker 6 (00:42):
It uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's no coral cast.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
It is the crowd cast. I am Corral, so very
glad you are joining me. I have lost my chat room,
I have lost everything. I am going to it right now.
Of course, there was a rain delay this morning. Ember
and I were out in the rain and we got caught. Actually,
it got to be such a downpour that we had

(01:20):
to shelter. There was lightning, there was thunder all around us. Oh,
it's like the Wizard of Oz and you know, Ember
was not having it and it wasn't safe. So we
literally had to take shelter at the park for about
ten minutes. So it made us late because I was
at the VET and so Ember has elevated ALP cholesterol

(01:44):
and treglycerides now that normally would signify cushings, including an
enlarging liver. However, she had a negative uccr urine test
and her eight hour test from yesterday came back within
normal in its Yeah, so there is now a ninety
eight percent chance that she does not have cushions and

(02:05):
that these changes are benign and are happening with age.
She has a spot on her liver, think of it
as an age spot, and they think that is what
is causing all of this. Now true, pannan insurance company,
what a scam. If your dog is over five, do
not get dog insurance. Let me tell you why this

(02:27):
is a big issue. I'm gonna be talking about this
a lot. I was on the phone with them yesterday
and I said, I understand about pre existing conditions. I
get that, but you guys are saying any symptom that
could have been a pre existing condition that if she
then develops a condition that had a symptom like that,

(02:50):
you're not going to cover it. And I said that means,
let me tell you. Let me put this in human terms.
As I said to the lady at five o'clock this morning,
and I mean this, that's when they sent another denial.
I said, let's say you don't have a cough at all,
not at all, and then you go to the doctor
one day you got a cough, and the doctor decides, oh,
it's probably just a cold or flu or allergies is something.

(03:13):
It's nothing major, and you go away. Next time you
see the doctor, no cough. For the next year, you
see the doctor, no cough. And then you get lung
cancer and you notice it because you have a cough.
What imagine your insurance company saying we're not going to
cover your lung cancer because a year ago you had
a cough. I said, pre existing conditions should mean diagnosed condition,

(03:40):
not symptom that could be a condition in the future.
So it's a scam. There's a lady on TikTok rallying
about this as well, saying her company is denying her
for everything, even though the things she is, you know, claiming,
are new. It's a scam. They have set up a

(04:01):
legal scam because a puppy, okay, fine, the puppy has
nothing pre existing at all, but an older dog over
three or four that you get insured. They're gonna go
back and say anything that you claim in the future
was tied to something in the past. Oh, they once
had diarrhea, So if they get some kind of intestinal problem, Nope,

(04:22):
we're not going to cover it. They once had diarrhea.
So it's a scam and true Panion, I'm going to
tell everybody to cancel their policies with you. You are
a scam, period and if you don't like it, don't
be a scam. Pre Existing condition should mean just that
pre existing condition, diagnosed condition, not any symptom that anyone

(04:50):
because as James Schnabel in my chat room will tell you,
when you have a symptom, unless it's something clear cut,
it could be indicative of ten, fifteen, twenty different things
like with ember her labs and things could be interpreted
fifteen ways. A scam. They're scamming and regular insurance companies.

(05:13):
Look what's happening right now? Why our government is shut down?
Why is our government shut down? Healthcare fucking companies. That's why.
Because healthcare companies want to charge people. Some people, they
want to charge them two to four thousand dollars a
month in premiums. Some people on the Georgia Exchange and

(05:35):
Florida Exchange. They're getting the new pricing because the deal
hasn't been done. Their insurance is going to thirty three
thousand dollars a year. That's twenty nine hundred dollars a month.
Even rich people ain't got that. Hony insurance is a scam,

(05:56):
a big, huge scam.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Visiting really correll dot com daily you're missing out. Get
the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at reallycrrell

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Fear Correll is so near because show time is here.
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Carell is the one that you need to know.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
So let's talk further about this because I really want to.
The major sticking point, the major reason that our government
is shut down is Republicans do not want to extend
the subsidies for people who buy insurance through the exchange.

(06:50):
That means and I saw some Trump voter, Oh yes,
I saw her on TikTok yesterday. Just I voted for
Donald Trump, and I don't understand what's happening. My insurance
premium is gonna go from what did she say eighteen
hundred and eighty eight dollars a year, which is like
one hundred and forty bucks a month to over four
thousand dollars. I'm poor. I can't afford to pay that.

(07:15):
This is not what I've voted for. Yes it is, bitch.
Elections have consequences, and you're paying the price. And they're
so stupid. MAGA is so stupid that they don't know
Democrats are actually fighting for them because Maga is the

(07:35):
poorest of the poor. Make no mistake, only the poorest
of the poor, is that stupid, And the poorest of
the poor are the ones that the Democrats are fighting
for right now. So because they haven't gotten this extension,
the insurance exchange which just opened in October for you know,

(07:58):
to renew and change your plan, and all that has
the new pricing up and people are going into culture shock,
sticker shock, whatever, toxic shocks, some kind of shock. Toxic shock.
Isn't that what women used to get from tampons? It
is toxic toxic shock syndrome. But until they change the
formula in tampons, how do I know this? I stay informed.

(08:21):
I don't use tampons. My glasses are a mess. I
did not have time to clean them before popping on air.
And we got rained on, I mean, we got bored on.
We had to run to the car. Oh that can't
Ooh that's horrible. But anyway, so Democrats are fighting, and
why don't the Republicans fucking give what the hell two

(08:42):
hundred million dollars for a ballroom that maybe we need,
but we don't need to destroy the West East wing
for forty billion dollar currency exchange with like Argentina or
some bumfuck country. But we ain't got the money anymore
to subsidize people's healthcare. If this isn't the best argument
ever for Medicare for all, I don't know what is.

(09:07):
This is going to be the longest government shut down
in our history. And why healthcare premiums. Let's not forget that.
It's not about Democrats or republic Canada. It's about health
insurance companies overcharging people for insurance. We should do away
with United Healthcare, we should do away with Blue Cross,
Blue Shield signa, do away with all the motherfuckers. Why

(09:31):
because we own Medicare. We own an insurance company which
currently does business with almost every doctor and every hospital
in the entire fucking country. So how about we just
let people buy into medicare. How about we say, if
you make this much money or more, this will be

(09:53):
your premium. If you make forty to sixty k a
year one hundred bucks a month, sixty to eighty k
a year, two hundred bucks a month, one hundred and
twenty to one hundred and fifty k a year five
hundred bucks a month, just have a tiered And if
you make forty kre below free, how about that? I

(10:17):
pay one hundred and thirty nine dollars a month for
Medicare out of my Social Security benefit. This is the
best argument for insurance for all under Medicare. We own
an insurance company. Why the hell do we let Americans
suffer at the hands of other insurance companies when we

(10:40):
own one profit. That's why the one percent. Look, I
don't advocate murder, but Luigi is a hero to me,
actually because at least he did something. Now what he
did was wrong, and I don't condone what did. You

(11:00):
shouldn't go killing the head of healthcare companies because it's Congress.
You have your bone to pick with, you know, the
CEOs of healthcare companies are just doing what CEOs do,
maximizing their profits. That it's not their fault that as
a people, we don't care enough about each other to
simply have everyone use the health insurance company that we

(11:22):
already own. Medicare is the United States equivalent to the
NHS in Europe. And I don't want to hear about
I don't want the government running my health care, bitch.
They already do. They already do. They already regulate the
healthcare industry. That government already makes payments to the healthcare industry.

(11:44):
The government already decides what the healthcare industry can and
cannot do. Their fingers are so deep in the healthcare
industry they could check your prostate if you got one.
They don't have to stick the bar of mine. It's
growing so well. I will never understand why we can't
all buy into Medicare. Why do we have to have

(12:05):
an insurance exchange to sell policies and subsidize They talk
about I don't want the government in my healthcare. These
are the same motherfuckers who will take a subsidy from
the government to buy healthcare. If that's not the government
being in your healthcare, I don't know what is oh Lord,

(12:27):
all right, Oh Lord, I'm like James Brown or Whitney Houston.
I'm going, Honey, going, going, girls. Rada got me fired up.
Oh the at the end of the show today, you're
gonna hear my new song. One of the mixes is
ready and you're gonna hear it. So don't go anywhere,

(12:48):
say to the end of the show. Sorry, I was
laid again rain delay. Let's check the chat room here
as I pad away all in my sweat, Lord, I'm
like Whitney, crack is whack, crack is whack. Let's see
ver NAUGHTI yeay, Ember, You're damn right, bravo. I prayed.
I prayed last night. I said, oh, dear Lord, I

(13:09):
know I don't believe in you, Dear Jesus, I know
that you're just a fiction, but please, you, fictional deity,
help my dog.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
No.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
I pray. I pray to the universe. I do pray
that may shock a lot of you. I pray out
loud every day. I do. I really do. Every night
when I play ball with Ember. I'm pointing to where
I play ball right over there with Ember every night.
When I play ball with Ember every night that she
wants to run and play and bark and have a

(13:40):
good time. Where is she back here? Every night that
she does that, I look up at the ceiling and
I say, Universe, thank you, thank you for her playing ball,
thank you for her health, thank you for my condo,
thank you for the ability to buy food today. Yesterday

(14:00):
I went and bought fruits and vegetables at Smith's, which
is Kroger. Okay, all I bought fruits and vegetables. That's it.
Didn't leave that department. Fruits and vegetables for one person.
Fruits and vegetables. Sixty three dollars fruits and vegetables. That's
all I bought. Ten years ago, sixty three dollars of

(14:24):
produce would have fed ten people for a week. Now,
we got peaches at three dollars a pound. We got
oranges at a dollar fifty each. We got melons at
three dollars and four dollars each. Berries, Oh my god,
strawberries six ninety nine a pound. Now they're out of season.
So that's I understand that. But seasonal fruit hugely expensive.

(14:47):
Pineapples four dollars each, I'm like, what the hell? So yeah,
So anyway, back to the chat room, everyone hit the
thumbs up button. That's right. Everybody hit it, about to
hit it. Everybody hit hit hit hit hit it like
like like like like me, I want you to really
like me. Oh please, you really really like me? Go on,

(15:10):
Sally Field. Where is Sally Field? She's still alive? Right,
Sally ain't dead? Oh lo, they didn't take Sally from
us too, did they? Is she still alive? Someone in
the chat room check and tell me that Sally is
still with us. Sally, Oh, Sally, We like her, We
really like her. Uh my sister's ACA premiums are almost doubling.

(15:34):
Everybody's are, everybody's are and why why we own freaking medicare? Meanwhile,
he's tearing down the East Wing. Something he can't do.
That is like me driving out to Red Rock, Okay,
going out to Red Rock, a federal you know, land preserve,

(15:56):
going up to their visitors center and saying, you know what,
we need a grand ballroom here, honey, don't worry, I'll
pay for it, and then just start constructing on federal land.
What a boob, what a bagon? I can't wait for him.
I can't read, I cannot wait to read the big,
beautiful obituary I really can't. Donald Trump has stroke. Donald

(16:21):
Trump has a heart attack. Donald Trumps, you know, suffers
blood clot Donald Trump gets eaten by alligator at Marlago.
Oh wouldn't that be fabulous if he Donald, wouldn't it
be great? Wouldn't it be fabulous if he were out
golfing and he swings that golf club and lightning strikes

(16:42):
him from you know, because Florida's prone to lightning, and
lightning just stripes him. Wouldn't that be biblical? Oh, that'd
be so fabulous. Donald's Trump struck by lightning on golf course. Oh,
from my mouth to the Lord's ears. Oh, Mighty Jesus,
if you exist, strike the man down, Smote him and
smite him. O, Lord, take that evil from our presence.

(17:03):
On Mighty Jesus. He is making us suffer a Mighty Jesus.
He is denying people health care. Almighty Jesus. He is
causing people to suffer and to starve in other countries. Oh,
Mighty Jesus, he sits by what genocide? And while war continues.
Oh Mighty Jesus, we need you, in the name of
our Lord, to smite him and strike him down. They

(17:28):
can't say that I threaten violence. I'm just praying. I'm
just praying out loud. Oh Mighty Jesus, Almighty Lord, please
save us, Almighty Lord, from the evil that is Maga.
Almighty Jesus. I ask in the name of your Son, Jesus,
I asking God, the Father. I ask in the Holy

(17:48):
Trinity of Mary, Joseph and everybody else. Smote him, Strike
him down. He is evil, and the Lord saith. Evil
shall not be abode in his land. Lord Jesus, make
this a righteous country again, and strap down the evil
that is Maga. Hellelujah, hallelujah, Thank you, Jesus, hallelujah. Sallyfield's

(18:17):
birthday is November sixth, Mine is November seventh. She's seventy eight. Oh,
Gidget's almost eighty. We all bitches, we are all. We
are old and we old. Girl. When Gidget is almost
eighty and you remember the flying nun sister Betrell Win
or wind plus thrust equals drag or drag plus wind

(18:39):
equals thrust or whatever. Sister I was in love with
what was his name, Alejandro Ray or whatever he played?
Did he play priest? But he played? But I was
in love with him. I was like, Oh that Latin
man child of my Henrietta hippo face. Today, I'm in
my Henrietta hippo face. Lord, Yes, November sixth, Sally Fields

(18:59):
seventy eight. I love Sally. Who doesn't love Sally Field,
Sally Field and Dolly Parton. Oh when they go? Lord,
If Dolly, Sally and Barbara went in one week, that'd
be it. I'd have to take a break. I'd have
to I would have to be admitted to the hospital
for exhaustion. Say give me a drip, girl, give me
a drip. We lost Sally and Barbara and Dolly in

(19:20):
one week. Oh, I'd go out. That'd be it. I'd
be lost. Hallelujah. Okay, So anyway, h oh, what a morning.
I'm sorry, I'm having a good I don't know why
I'm having fun this morning. I'm having a good time
this morning. Well because my little girl don't have cushions. Oh,

(19:41):
I cried and I prayed, Dear Lord, because because she's
been with me through everything, everything, and I'm gonna stick
with her through everything. You can bet but that being said,
she's been the best girl ever. And no do deserves
to be sick, not one dog deserved, not any No

(20:04):
dog deserves to be sick. But if any dog that
I've ever met in my lifetime deserves a long, happy life,
it's this little girl down here, because she has put
up with me for ten fricking years. Hospitals, airplanes, boats,
she's you know, concerts, plays, She's done it all and

(20:29):
just looked at me with her loving eyes. So if
any creature on planet Earth deserves a long, happy life,
it's her. And I just wish the universe for that. Yep,
just wish the universe for that. Lord, I'm sweating like
trailer trash writing a check at Walmart. Honey, Remember when

(20:51):
you can float checks? Remember that? Oh? I used to
do it. I used to know all the tricks back
in the day. If you were writing a check and
you needed some time to get the money in the bank,
because you were breaking the law by writing a check
knowing you ain't got the money in the bank. If
you colored in the account number on the bottom, like
if you had an eight or a sixth and you

(21:12):
colored it in, they had to manually process that check.
It took three extra day. Oh yeah, gave you a
three day float. How many do you know about the flow.
You got to be old to know about the flow
because nowadays money didn't. But back in the day, we
had the flow. Honey, if you got paid on Friday, say.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
No it show side.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yes child, the float. If you got paid on Friday,
on Wednesday, you could go to the store because the
check wouldn't hit the bank till Friday. The float, girl,
that's poor. See how many of you have been poor?
Because I've been poor and my parents have been poor.
We knew all about the float, and we knew the

(22:22):
float from different places, like the float at Kmart because
there was no Walmart, it was the Kmart. The float
at the Kmart was three days. The float at the
grocery store was two days. How many of you had
an account at a grocery store or like a local bodega.
We did, even me and Ken did back in the eighties.

(22:43):
Our local liquor store at the corner that sold food
and liquor in between Ken's paychecks. Because I wasn't working.
I was a fucking writer and artist. I wouldn't make
it any money in between paychecks. We could go there
and get booze because we drank and food. They sold
some food at liquor store. Food, but food, well they
had food, you know, they had like macaroni, macarim, cheese,

(23:06):
you know, stuff like that, and he would write it
on a piece of paper and then on Friday we'd
come in and pay him. Can you imagine a store
doing that for you today?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
See?

Speaker 5 (23:17):
People act like today is so much better. Can remember
when you could like start a tab at a store
because they knew you were broke, and they would give
you items, write it down and you go in and
pay you tab. Remember that I do. Kids today they
don't know shit about that. They don't know anything about floats. See,

(23:37):
And that's when I'm talking about people. I have been
poor most of my life. And that's why when I
see something like these health insurance premiums doubling for people
who ain't got shit in the first place, and they're
gonna have to decide between gas for their car or
their payment on their home or whatever, and giving health
insurance to their babies or to each other, to themselves.

(24:03):
I know what it's like to be uninsured. I was
insured uninsured from the time I was like twenty one
years old until KFI. Really, so when did I start KFI? Oh?
My God, how old was ill? I was forty I
was forty two when I got fired five years so
thirty seven. From twenty one to thirty seven, I didn't

(24:25):
have health insurance. I had to use the er as
my primary care. And then when they build me, I
had to ask them to write it off or to
oh not. My credit was ruined. My credit score was
in the four and five hundreds until just fifteen years ago,
and most of it was medical three hundred dollars here
five hundred dollars and dental h My teeth were a

(24:48):
frickin mess for decades. That's no way to live in
what's supposed to be the greatest country in the world,
the greatest country in the world, and we don't even
give our people health And MAGA wants to talk about
how great fucking America is. Really, where's your healthcare, bitch?
Trump's got it. Congress gets it for life. Trump gets

(25:10):
it for life. They got the best health insurance in
the world. The very people who have shut down the
government over health premiums are the same people who have
the best health care in the world. Figure that out
because they already have, because they rich. I'll never understand
any of this, you know, haha. Some of the chat

(25:32):
rooms said, these days, the liquor store probably takes a
firm or what is that one? Care credit? Fucking vets
are so expensive now when you go in they give
you an application for care credit. Oh here, pay thirty
nine percent interest. But you're right they probably do. You
can probably go into a liquor store and they say,
would you like to break this into four easy payments? Why? Yes,

(25:57):
give me a little bottle of that vodka. Oh God,
like the old song Float Float On. That's right, speaking
of songs before we go to part two of the show,
where we talk about the real issues. I don't know
why I'm in such a mood today, but look care
my fucking show. Whatever. So last night on this John

(26:19):
Wayne Gacy show called Evil in Plain Sight or Devil
in Plain Sight, Devil in Plain Sight the John Wayne
Gacy Show on Peacock, John Wayne Gacy was driving around
you know, it's set in the state the seventies. An
aqua lung by Jef Roteu was playing, and also the
puhone with Steve and I said, you know I know

(26:39):
this song he goes you do not? I said, I do.
Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with that intent.
He said, that's creepy. That's a creepy song. Hey, Aqualung,
And I said, you know, I need to look up
what this song is about, because you're right, that is creepy.
You know, I need something about their panties drying in

(27:00):
the breeze. And I'm just like, what that is this about?
A child mo list and what is this about? So
I looked it up. What is Jethro Tell's Aqualung about.
It's about the homeless. The lead singer of Jethro Tell
his wife went out and did a series of photos
on the homeless in the seventies and mainly how badly

(27:20):
people treat them and what we think of them, you know,
what our perception of the homeless are. And Aqualung in
the song is a homeless person and he's called aquaalung
because he has water on the lungs in a bad
lung condition from his work, from the work he did,

(27:41):
you know, and so he can't breathe well and he's homeless.
And the song is from the point of view of
what we think of the homeless. Did you know that?
Did y'all know that Aqualung by Jeth Rotel was inspired
by a series of homeless photos that his wife took,
and it was written about what we think about the
homeless people. Did y'all know that? Well? I just told

(28:03):
you HECKU lung no no, no, Steezel, how do you
know that you love? Dan's just going R and B.
I said, well, my sister was a rocker, so we had,
you know, we listened to some of that. I don't
like that stuff now, but I know Cat Stevens that
whole album Tee for the Tiller Man Bring Teef. That's
the one that has father and son on it. It's

(28:25):
not time to make a change. Just sit back, take
it easy. You're still young. That's your fault. There's so
much you have to go through. Uh oh yeah. Wasn't
he the one that became a Muslim? And then Cat
Stevens suddenly we couldn't like him. I think that was it.
Oh yeah, yep, yep, all right. Part two of the

(28:47):
show is coming up here very soon. We're gonna talk
laboo boos. I guess there's a la booboo scandal. Girl,
Is your labooboo a fraud? Did you pay all this
money for a laboo boo and it ain't even real?
Are they? The pet rock of our time? Tickle me yelmos.
Things that end up at a garage sale you pay
five hundred dollars for and then three weeks later it

(29:09):
took the garage sale for eight dollars. We're gonna talk
to booboo. Do you even know what a laboo boo is?
I do. I'm gonna tell you what they are too,
So we're gonna talk about that. Uh. And you know
when I was talking about the laboo boo the holiday

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Sitting at this desk, I feel all Edward R. Murrow, Hello,
and good evening. I'm Corel and this is your news
for the day. Where fucked. I want to hear a
newscaster just come out and tell the truth. Well, today
is day two hundred of the Trump administration and we're

(31:21):
still screwed. Helly Aquelong about homeless people, Aquaalung is a
homeless guy. I hope they gave him some money. The
person that inspired it. I hope after the song was
a hit, they went and gave Aqua lung. Let him
get like an inhaler or something, so you know, don't
want him just sitting on that park bench dead, all right,

(31:44):
So I just I gotta tell you, you know, I mentioned
Devil in Disguise and I'm on the final episode and
it's set in nineteen seventy five through nineteen seventy eight,
and the kids that he killed, the young gay kids,
were fourteen to nineteen years old. I was fourteen to
nineteen years old in nineteen seventy six and seven. In

(32:07):
nineteen seventy seven, I was fifteen years old and I
was gay, and I was out and proud about it,
and I thought, you know what you are so damn lucky, Cause, honey,
at sixteen, I hopped in strangers cars. Oh yes, I did,
Oh I did. I did down at granad A lot
in Long Beach. Oh yes, Sunday tea dance outside on

(32:30):
the beach, big party. That this one really lecherous now
that I think back about him. He was such a
leacherous old guy. And he was old at the time.
He was like in his sixties, and we were all
like teenagers. And he would throw these parties where there'd
be booze out on the beach and we'd all go.
And I didn't drink at the time, but my friends did.

(32:53):
And then straight people, mostly straight guys, would drive through
the Granada Lot and pick up young gay guys and
we'd do our thing and then they'd drive away. We'd
do it right there in the car. Yes, I did that.
I am ashamed to say it. I had sex in
the front and back seat of many a car when
I was sixteen seventeen. Oh yeah, because young and gay.

(33:14):
It was nineteen seventy eight. You know, what do we know?
So I thought about that while watching the John Wayne
Gacy thing, thinking had he been in California, I could
have been one of his victims. It's bad enough. Randy Kraft,
another gay serial killer, you know, had my photo in

(33:35):
drag on his wall. That was weird to find out.
But yeah, my friend Stevie said, you know, we don't
have any recent gay serial killers. I go, we don't. Actually,
you know, Jeffrey Dahmer, Randy Craft, John Wayne Gacy, although
Gaysey refused to say he was gay. You kill forty
plus gay guys that you've had sex with or raped,

(33:55):
but you're not gay? Okay, what is? But it could
have been me? And I was I'm like, God, you know,
gay kids, we were stupid back then. I hope they're
not that stupid now. I really do, because I contend
the dangers now are even worse. But see now it's

(34:16):
online now. Granada Lot is an app, you know, and
they instead of jumping in someone's car, they show up
at their house or show up at some I can't imagine,
although I can because but at least back then yet friends,
they saw you get in the car, they wrote down
license plates they you know, so I don't. Anyway, I

(34:41):
really thought about that last night. I thought that could
have been you. I'm very lucky. I'm very lucky that
as a young gay kid in the seventies, I did
not get more harmed than I was. I was fag
bashed a few times, beating up, that sort of stuff,
but at least I wasn't killed by some serial killer.

(35:01):
Very very lucky. All right, So the holidays are coming.
The holiday ads are already on television. For those of
you with ads supported streaming who don't pay the premium
prize like me, because I get my streaming free Hulu,
I get through someone Instacart or Walmart, No Walmart Plus,

(35:21):
I get Paramount Plus through Peacock. I get through Instacart. So,
but they only pay for the ads supported things. So
I watch the ads, and during John Wayne Gacy's binge Watch,
I've seen tons of ads, and there's a lot of
holiday ads. So the holidays are coming and my birthday
is two weeks from this Friday. Do we feel like celebrating?

(35:44):
Do you feel like celebrating? Is there a big orange
grinch stopping you from celebrating? Let's talk about the holidays
when we come back. Are you in the holiday spirit?
I don't know.

Show time is here. So on with the show. Let's
give it a go. Carell is the one that you
need to know.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Okay. So before they became highly sought after collectibles, leboo
Boos were storybook characters created by artists Casing Lung not Aqualung,
but casing Lung now. Kasing Loong was born in Hong
Kong and moved to the Netherlands at age seven, a
very magical place where he quickly fell in love with

(36:52):
the Nordic fairy tales, especially those about elves. Loved him
from elves. Inspired by the whimsical folklore, Lung launched an
illustrated book series called The Monsters in twenty fifteen, featuring
a playful tribe of female elves known as lea Boo Boos.

(37:12):
He says, that's why I wanted to create something that
I've always known existed in my heart. He said in
an interview with CGG and Europe. It's amazing that so
many people love it. Lebooboos are described as kind hearted
and eager to help, though their good intentions can sometimes
lead to chaos. According to Lung, there are about one
hundred different Laboo Boos in the series. One of the

(37:36):
storylines involves a Labooboo who's dating a shy skeleton named
Taykoko and often playfully teases him. Lung released an artistic
toy series inspired by his fairies from his stories, His Elves,
his female Elves not long after The Monster's Trilogy came out,

(37:57):
but the toy collection did not start a global craze
until he teamed up with the Chinese toy company PopMart
in twenty nineteen. According to PopMart, the revenues generated from
the first Monster series broke the sales records for art
toy categories over the years. It's been spotted on the
bags of pop singers like Dua Lipa, Rihanna and Lisa

(38:18):
from the K pop group Black Pink. Now that is
really what started the craze. So K pop is huge.
In fact, K pop Demon Hunter, an animated show on
Netflix now accounts for eighteen percent of Netflix revenue eighteen percent.

(38:39):
It's going back into theaters. So K pop huge huge.
And so Lisa from Black Pink, a K pop group,
was seen with a labooboo dangling on her purse and
suddenly everybody had to have a labubu. So people started

(38:59):
selling them, and they're sold in blind boxes, which means
you don't know what laboo boo you're getting inside the
box until you buy the box. Part of the appeal,
they say, is the surprise in the US and the
boo boo blind box should be twenty seven ninety nine.
That's how much they should cost. However, a rare laboo

(39:23):
boo can go up for one hundred and forty nine
dollars or more, and the record for a la Boo
boo the record sale is one hundred and sixty nine
thousand dollars at auction. Okay, so people are loving the
laboo boos there's La Boo boo machines, there's you go

(39:44):
and you spin them like a slot machine, and whichever
for la Boo boos you get is the laboo boo
you get. So they're basically little elves, female elves that
look hideous, created by this really you know, previously unknown
author named Lung l U n G Casing Lung. And

(40:05):
they became famous because K pop groups started putting them
on their bags, on their purses and things. Rihanna had one,
uh and so suddenly everybody wanted one. So they're the
craze toy this season. How many of you know about
you know, remember all this? Like have any of you
bought into this sort of thing? Like? Remember pet rocks?

(40:27):
Remember what else? What else? Tickle me Elmo was a
huge toy one year over the holiday season. What what
toys can you remember becoming crazes? I know there was
tickle me Elmo? Pet rocks were a big craze for
a while. Cabbage patch dolls remember those they were made
from Big Beer California cabbage patch dolls. Uh So what

(40:49):
what dolls or what toys? Uh? You know, can you
remember being really famous over Christmas? I don't I don't
know a cabbage patch, dolls took am me almos, pet rocks,
which I never understood. Pet rocks. They still sell them.

(41:09):
I don't get it. What else? What else has been crazy?
It's helped me out in the chat room here. Ferbies,
Oh thank you Maxwell Ferbys. That's right. Ferbis were huge
or you couldn't get any. Remember people were fighting over
them in the stores at the Black Friday sales and stuff.
Parents of children were out there beating the fuck out
of each other to get a Ferbie. Remember that. I

(41:31):
remember it. Parents get cray cray around Christmas when their
kid wants a toilet. Nowadays, what do kids want nowadays?
I don't they want like PlayStation five and Nintendo Switch?
And you know, isn't I mean, what do they want?
Do any of you have kids or grandkids? What are

(41:52):
they asking for? Two of my big things I always
wanted I got finally. One was a toy train set.
I always wanted a toy train set. And the other
was a speedway sets, you know, racing cars. I really
wanted to an electric race car set, not the hot
wheels where you just push them, but I wanted like
an electric race car set. I used to go. There

(42:14):
used to be places set up hobby shops. I don't
know if these still exist, where you go in and
they have like these incredible train sets that go all
the way around, and they have the really intricate race
car sets that you know, have all kinds of curves
and figures. I used to go into those stores and play.
I know that doesn't sound like something i'd do, but
I used to love it. Oh. I used to love it.

(42:35):
And model trains. I used to love model trains, and
the little cities and little every Oh I used to
love it. I just I really did. I don't have
any of that stuff now, but I used to love it.
What did you love when you were a kid. What
was a toy when you were a kid that you
really wanted. I always wanted practical stuff because we were poor,
so I'd want nicer clothes, you know, like pants, shirts,

(43:00):
that sort of stuff. In terms of electronics cameras, I
remember my first Polaroid camera was a Kodak, but a
Kodak instant camera. I got it for Christmas. In January,
we traveled cross country because we were poor and had
to go to a new state, and we broke down

(43:22):
on the side of the road where we were left
for three days. There was no call boxes back then,
no cell phones. We were way out in the Boonies.
Cars wouldn't stop for us, police didn't stop for us.
We literally slept in the car and peed on the
side of the road and stuff for three days. Finally
a tow truck stopped and he said the nearest town
was forty eight miles away, and my parents didn't have

(43:44):
enough money to have us towed and pay for the
repair of the car. So he saw my Kodak camera
and I kept it in the box still, and he
said he would do the towing for my camera, so
I gave it to him. That's why I'm a photographer.
Maybe that's why I later became a professional photographer. But

(44:05):
I gave him my Christmas present so we could be
towed into town. What a life, Huh? What a life? Uh? Anyway,
so the Boo Boo's now there's fraudulent ones, so you
gotta be careful when you're buying them, if you're gonna
buy one, because now there's fakes that are out in
the marketplace, and it's very hard to tell, so you

(44:26):
got to make sure it's the official packaging, that the
box is sealed. All of that, because there are fraudulent
la booboos, and you don't want a fraud you want
a real one. Like who would know? Who would care?
When I was a kid, if I'd have gotten a
fraudulent lab bubo, I would not have cared. If I
wanted a la booo and it looked like a labuobu,
I would have been happy with it. When I was
a kid. The only la booboos I got is when

(44:47):
I fell down and skin my knee. Oh I've got
a la booboo. So yes, But are you in the
holiday spirit? You know a nikon em hmm, great camera. Yeah,
nothing happens if you have a fake la boo boo.
I mean, you know, who's gonna know who cares? Your
resale value is gonna go down. They're gonna be wear
shit in five years. I really, you know, it's like, oh,

(45:12):
we have a foudult le boo boo. So what They're
not gonna be worth anything anyway? I have what do
I have? Where is he? I have tinky Winkie. I
have the one that Jerry Foalwalls said that it says
I'm gay I'm gay Andrew, and I bought it to
see if that's what it really said. It doesn't. It
says again again, But I have that. I have a Ferbie.

(45:32):
He's right over here. I had to take the battery
out because the damn thing would just wake up at
the most opportune times and start singing and chirping and
like I was gonna shoot the thing one day. But
I have a Ferbie. I do. I have an original Ferbie.
Beanie babies. Oh, I gave them all to Ember as
a toy. She loves them. So she has all my
beanie babies, which we're supposed to be worth, you know,

(45:53):
thousands of dollars, but they're not from what is a tycho.
There's a whole movie about beanie babies and how they
the company got rich off of them. But so, yeah,
I have beanie babies. I have. I have a tinky Winkie.
I have a Furbie. I have a slinky. I have
a barrel of monkeys. What else do I have? I

(46:13):
think that's about it in terms of toys, terms of cameras,
I never got the one I wanted. Never in my life.
It's on my bucket list. It is for anyone out
there that's rich. My birthdays in two weeks. I would
like the new Hastleblod too and a quarter camera with
a digital back. It'll only set you back eighty five

(46:35):
hundred dollars plus a lens, so about eleven thousand dollars.
So if any of you want to give me a
fabulous birthday present that I've wanted my entire life, I
would love a hasselblod two and a quarter camera with
a digital back and about a fifty to seventy millimeter lens.
Thank you, Thank you so much. Oh eleven thousand dollars

(46:58):
for a camera, but I want to I've wanted it
my whole life, my entire life. I've wanted a Hassle
blod to in a quarter even when they were filmed,
and now that they're digital, I want one for Corill.
Maybe because when I was a kid, my instant camera
was taken from me to pay for a toe job.

(47:21):
So maybe now all these years later, the way that
I heal that wound is to get the very best
camera in the world, which is a house of blode
To in a quarter with a digital black. There's no
better camera. That is the camera. Nothing is better than
a hassle blod to in a quarter and to and

(47:42):
a quarter is the size two and a quarter medium
format with a digital back. There's none better? All right?
What else? What have we not gotten to? Let's see
holiday joy fields harder to find it does? How the
shutdown is hitting wallets right before Christmas? Hard? What's behind
the fake laboo bu craze money? Oh? Trump's humiliating failure

(48:05):
in Ukraine? Yeah, dead people in Ukraine this morning? Trump
Putin canceling the moon. What's this? Trump's little bitch boy
Putin is canceling the meeting? Really? Really, Donnie ain't got
the sway with lad that he used to. What's that about? So, mister,
I'm gonna end the war? Day one still going on

(48:26):
and ain't no cease fire over? And I don't know
why they're standing us a ceasefire over in Gaza They're
they're dropping bombs every day. That ain't a ceasefire. Seems
to me like there's still fire going on. So Trump
is a dismal failure. Dismal Look at Ukraine. What a
dismal failure of diplomacy on Donald Trump's part? Dismal. He

(48:48):
can't even get glad to stop the war, and he
likes to think he's the big war solver. He ain't.
Ukraine is still going, Israel is still going. Oh I
know we have a peace deal in Israel. No, you don't,
or there wouldn't have been one hundred and fifty people
dead since the peace agreement started. Doesn't sound like peace

(49:09):
to me. So what a dismal failure he is? And
what is his big distraction? Tearing down the terroring down
the house. Yeah, So the holidays, I'd love to hear
from you in the comments down below. Are you participating?
Are you doing anything for Halloween? Have you already thought
about your Thanksgiving? Do you have Christmas already planned? Are

(49:32):
you cutting back because of money? The fact there is
Christmas dinner? Can you imagine throwing Christmas dinner for like
eight people? You have to get a home loan. I'm serious.
What are you all doing for the holidays? Are you
staying home? I'm single, you know, with Ember, I really
would like to be out of the country for Christmas.
I'd love to be in San Jose, Costa Rica for Christmas.

(49:56):
Why because I've never been, never done it. I'd like
to be there. So if you all want to give
me the birthday present of my hassleblog camera. You can
all pitch in. Uh, then I'll take it to San
San Jose, Costa Rica and take fabulous photos for you.
Oh I wish tinker toys. Oh yeah, Hasselblot Rayrenati is

(50:19):
the best. G I Joe Malibu Barbie. Oh yeah, yep,
g I Joe. That was a big toy. Malibu Barbie.
That was a big toy. Tinker toys. I had Tinker
toys and Lincoln logs. I had Lincoln mogs. I loved
my Lincoln logs. I used to make little cabins and
you know, and they're the kind of you know, Lincoln logs.
Do you all remember Lincoln logs? Anybody? Anybody remember Lincoln monks.

(50:43):
We had the We didn't only have the best cartoons,
we had the best toys. How many of you got
a chemistry set? I loved my chemistry set, and my
chemistry set came with a microscope. I still want one
of those microscopes today that have the the you know,
the LCD panel on it. I love microscopes. I love
looking at ship under a microscope. Probably why I'm a

(51:04):
talk shows, but I do. I love it. Do y'all
love it? I love it. What toys did you love
when you were a kid that you got. I loved
my chemistry set. I loved my microscope telescope. I have
a telescope. I still have a telescope. I love love it.
What else did I get? Chinker toys, linking logs. I

(51:25):
was never really a lego person. There was too many pieces.
I'm like, I don't have stop.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
No show.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
You know, I was gay, so I was never into
hot wheels. I wasn't one of those gays. I did
have a batmobile hot wheel, but any car that you
had to push, I thought that's dumb. Car should have
motors like you know, we were poor. I had to
push my car enough, and my dad always fixed it.
Thank god, now I know. You know I fixed my motorcycle.

(52:22):
I changed the battery, I charged the battery. I changed
the oil. Yes, girl, I'm how to change the oil
in a car in the Batan Yes, Because we were poor, so,
you know, the hot wheels just I didn't get models.
I used to build models. I used to like to
get models for Christmas, mainly from movies like Star Wars

(52:43):
before that, you know, any kind of movie or TV
related model. I put together Wonder Woman's clear Plane. I
don't know why I liked models. Maybe I used to
get high off the glue. That could probably be it,
which is high, But I loved models. I don't anymore.

(53:06):
And now you go into a model store and there's
not only millions, but a lot of them snap together.
Now you don't use glue, And I'm like, what fun
is that? You know?

Speaker 3 (53:16):
So?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
But I did. I did used to buy models, and
sometimes i'd mix the medium, like i'd build something with
a Lincoln log, you know, like a little town or something,
and then i'd get models and populate my town, you know,
like I put a car here, or a battleship over
here or whatever. Oh yeah, don't sink my battleship. That

(53:39):
game was fun, you know where you sit across from
each other and you do the thing. Oh you sunk
my battleship. Rock'em sock'em robots. Oh yeah, rock'em sock them robuts.
I used to love them. Oh you knocked my block off? Yes,
rock'm sock them robots. Although it was kind of violent,

(54:02):
but you know, well, what else what other little toys
like that were fabulous when we were kids. Rock them,
sock them, robots, hot wheels, Lincoln logs, tinker toys, legos,
toy models. You see a theme here. They were engaging,
chemistry sets, microscopes, they were engaging, and you learned things

(54:25):
from your toys. You didn't just have a toy. Nowadays,
they just give you a fucking tablet when you're two
years old and put a game on it. Ooh, you've
done something. And the tablet's got little toy things around it,
So it's for kids. A tablet for kids. No, give
your kids some tinker toys, give them some Lincoln logs,

(54:46):
you know, give them something. Give them a chemistry set. Oh,
I blew. I used to blow shit up. Oh with
my chemistry set, I could have probably I probably poisoned
half the neighborhood. But you know I would blow stuff
up and it would tell you when it's don't mix
you know, magnesium with blah blah blah. That's the first
thing I would do. Oh. Yes, with my chemistry set,

(55:07):
I made all kinds of things. It gave you a
little recipe book kind of you know, you could make
substances that turn green or things that would fizz over
and it gave you test tubes and all kinds of stuff.
Oh yeah, oh, and the things that you would go
catch bugs and you'd put the bug inside this little
plastic container and then it had a magnifier and you

(55:30):
could see the bug under the magnifier. Unfortunately, I killed
a few bugs. I tried to not kill them, but
sometimes they died, but at least and then I put
them under the microscope. You ever seen a bug under
a microscope? Honey, no wonder. I'm afraid of them nowadays
because I have seen a bug under a microscope. Loved
my torn up black stuff dog where straw came out

(55:51):
of his ears. Didn't want a new one. I felt
sorry for it. Yeah, okay. Wanted to be a doctor
or veterinarian when I grew up. I have stuffed animals
in my bedroom. Andrew collected age bears. What are age bears? Well?
Every year because Andrew had HIV AIDS, he was in
AIDS Healthcare Foundation in Orange County and ASF and every

(56:12):
year they would send baskets to their clients that had AIDS,
and every year, invariably there was a stuffed bear every year.
So Andrew felt that by collecting the bears, he saw
that he was living a long life. So I have
like five age bears. Yeah, and I have to Oh,

(56:32):
Teddy Ruxsman, I have an original Teddy Ruxsman. That's how
I play cassette tapes now, the Teddy Ruxman, and he
still sings my friend, My friend is what I'd like
to be. Yes, Teddy Rugsman, Teddy Ruxsman is the prototype
for all these movies out now with the stuffed animals

(56:54):
that are killing people. I always think at night Teddy
Ruxsman gets up and rooms around my house. And Elliott
Pete's dragon, Elliot that's his name. I have that. I
have him stuffed. Oh yes, oh, I have lots of
stuffed animals. I do. And I save him. Why I
have some that are forty years old, fifty years old?
I do? Oh? Yes, all right, what else that's about it.

(57:17):
We have about done for the day. Sorry, I was late.
We got stuck in the rain. We did not sing
and dance. I was not out there being gene Kelly.
Although I did say to someone this is proof I'm
not an evil witch. And I brought up a great point.
Why didn't the wicked witch of the West have an umbrella.
I mean, you know, Teddy Rexman is a little creepy.

(57:39):
I have him. He's a little creepy, but I have one.
I think he is. I think he does do evil
when I'm asleep, I do. I think he leaves the house,
does evil and comes back. I can't prove it, but
I think he does. And Elliott, my poor Elliot, Pete's dragon.
His neck is he his head goes because you know,
they have stuffing in the neck and it's loose. Now, Oh,

(58:03):
I have something back here on the shelf. I have
a Darth Vader mask from the original movie nineteen seventy seven.
I bought it. There were five plastic masks used in
the movie for lighting and for this and that, and
then they would put him in that metal mask, but
they used plastic masks for different things in the movie.

(58:24):
I got one of them. Oh yes, right on the
side it says don Post Studios Property twentieth Century Fox,
and I've got it. I bought it when I was
seventeen for one hundred dollars in nineteen seventy nine, one
hundred dollars and we had to drive out to Magic
Mountain to Valencia to get it. Oh yeah, oh yes,

(58:47):
my Darth Vader mask. I still have it. And Andrew
had all the Star Wars collectible toys, so I still
have all those two. All right, what a fun show.
I don't know if you liked it. I don't know
if it was good. I don't know in the grand
scheme of things, you know, I know we didn't talk
too much about Trump and you know, Vladimir and Ukraine
and all that. But you know, you know, some days

(59:11):
you just want to talk la boo boos. You know,
in some days you don't want to be all doomy
and gloomy, and you want to the holidays are coming.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
