It is the cral Cast. I
am Correl, So very glad you are
2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.360
joining me. Today we are live
at the Hotel Maya, where we're going
3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.679
to talk about travel and tourism and
can you afford it in today's economy.
4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:18.320
We're going to talk about that and
so much more. Uncensored, unfiltered,
5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.640
un hinged. It's the cuel Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
6
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.759
Hey, good morning. It is
the cREL Cast, and I am
7
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.679
Correl, So very glad I'm with
you, So very glad you're joining me.
8
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.960
I am currently in one of the
busiest ports in the world, the
9
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.840
Port of Los Angeles. Here as
I stay at the Hotel Maya, which
10
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.799
is in this port, right by
the Queen Mary, and behind me,
11
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:53.359
you will see right there lines of
trucks And just know that that goes for
12
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.079
almost two miles up the seven to
ten freeway, and these are trucks waiting
13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.600
to get into the port and get
their cargo lifted off of them so that
14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.760
cargo could then either be taken overseas
or get to wherever it's supposed to be
15
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.400
going. And when we hear about
supply chain interruption, this is part of
16
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.079
why prices are high goods. It's
taking forever to get goods, you know,
17
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.239
from point A to point B.
And if a trucker has to spend
18
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.079
two hours, three hours, or
the entire day in line just to we
19
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.959
you know, we get rid of
his stuff and then go get more.
20
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.280
It's a really ineffective way of transporting
cargo. And I think part of the
21
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.840
problem with inflation and with high prices
today is that we're still doing stuff like
22
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.519
we were in the like nineteenth or
eighteenth century. You know, we're not
23
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.840
we haven't really modernized this process that
much. Yes, those giant cranes you
24
00:01:53.879 --> 00:02:00.319
see back there are the things that
they're robotic and they lift the cargo off
25
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.079
of the truck. But it's still
been doing it this way since the nineteen
26
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.039
early nineteen hundreds, and I think
that's part of the problem that we have
27
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.840
with pricing. So right there,
as you can see, they're not moving
28
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.199
because for miles they're backed up.
Meanwhile, you know, we have people
29
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.360
going to their happy places over here
right there as a fabulous cruise ship.
30
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.280
This is the way that Princess Cruise
Lines and other cruise lines take off here
31
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.039
from the port, and these people
are off to their happy place. What
32
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.360
is your happy place? What do
you do for fun? Still? And
33
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.960
where do you go when you do
it? We're going to talk about that.
34
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.159
So the ship behind me, of
course, is the Queen Mary,
35
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.000
and the I first came into contact
with that ship in nineteen seventy seven.
36
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.680
It's sort of my happy place.
Actually, I could think that'd be a
37
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.280
great place for my memorial should there
ever. You know, even though I
38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.759
don't live in Long Beach anymore,
that that ship and I have been through
39
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.520
it. Next to it is a
cruise line and the Spruce Juice Spruce Goose
40
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.800
Dome, And as you see,
it's really busy because a cruise ship just
41
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.840
came in. The Carnival Farenze.
I'm told Carnival is like the Walmart of
42
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.240
the ocean. But whatever, I
shop at Walmart. So this is one
43
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.800
of my happy places, being near
the Queen Mary. They don't have housing
44
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.680
here on this little terminal, little
island that we're on where the Queen Mary
45
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.840
is. Everything is across the harbor. There is Long Beach right behind me.
46
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.599
You see Long Beach there, it
is. It's an entirety right there.
47
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:37.400
I just showed you all along beach
at least all along the shore and
48
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.879
Long Beach, of course, is
one of my happy places. I have
49
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.639
a lot of great memories. I
would not move back here unless I could
50
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.879
move right here, right next to
the ocean. I have realized on this
51
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.439
trip that I do want to live
next to a lake or the ocean.
52
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.360
I do. That's I'm you know, I love Vegas and everything, but
53
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.719
this is me. This is what
I've been forever. So I don't know
54
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.439
how I'll do that in my older
age. What the cops are doing out
55
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.319
here, I guess someone got a
got upset on the cruise line. But
56
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.159
now we're going to go to the
Hotel Maya, another one of my happy
57
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.080
places. Okay, I have to
show you all this because in all of
58
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.960
my life living next to the ocean, forty three years and Brandon is a
59
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.040
diver, and in his whole career
he's never saw what I saw right over
60
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.399
my shoulder. You see
Load full transcript
that thing
floating right there. That's three pilings,
61
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:29.240
three very long, fifteen foot tall
pilings that were all attached to one another,
62
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.199
and they broke off yesterday right as
Ember and I were walking by.
63
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.519
They just they're there right there,
floating. See, So I had to
64
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.399
call the Marine Patrol this morning because
those could be hit by a boat,
65
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.920
and they thanked me for calling,
and I thought, now you're in Long
66
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.319
Beach being the mayor of the world, you know. But they broke off
67
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.000
from right over there. You can
see probably I don't know if I can
68
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:54.759
zoom in. I don't think I
can. But there's jaggedy things sticking up,
69
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.439
and those right there, I'm circling
them. Right there. Those fell
70
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.519
off and it was stunning to me
and Ember because it was loud and there
71
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.319
were seagulls on top of it,
and then they gave out these mournful cries.
72
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.399
I think that the seagulls had a
baby up top and they lost it.
73
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.560
I think in the crash. It
was sad to me. I was
74
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.480
very sad. So yeah, so
now we're walking back to the Maya because
75
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.600
this is all just a walk from
the Maya. And I'm doing this because
76
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.519
you know, we spend so much
time on the show talking about politics and
77
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.839
everything else. I realized that,
you know, this is expensive. Okay,
78
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.480
traveling is expensive, cruise lines,
hotels, the whole thing, but
79
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.639
so many of us loved to do
it. I mean, it's okay,
80
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.600
to say that you love to travel. I love to travel, and nowadays
81
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.000
it's getting so hard. So I
wanted to ask you, guys, what
82
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.240
are you doing for travel? Are
you not doing it? Are you planning
83
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.480
trips? Are you planning less trips? Travel and tourism is a multi billion
84
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.879
dollar worldwide industry. Without it,
many economies were just in to a halt.
85
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.519
Are you traveling? Are you going
anywhere? What are you doing?
86
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.879
And where do you like to go? I love to spend time at the
87
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.240
Hotel Maya. It's got a great
view as you can see. Oh,
88
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.519
look at that giant bird flying right
towards us. Do you see it?
89
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.160
There? It is? It's got
you know, it's got a great view.
90
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.199
It's it's right on the water.
It's away from the proper city of
91
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.399
Lombach. There's no homeless over here. I haven't seen one homeless person.
92
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.439
You know, it's pretty self contained, got a gorgeous pool. It's a
93
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.439
great place. So where do you
you know? Where do you go?
94
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.839
Is it a cabin in the woods? Is it the beach? Where do
95
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.720
you like to travel? And you
know, I know, if it's out
96
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.480
of the country, that's great too. One of my happy places is certainly
97
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:53.120
Dublin. So where do you go? Where do you want to go?
98
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.800
And how can you afford it?
These days? Is traveling and staying in
99
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:03.000
hotels or cabins or airbnbs? Is
that even on your budget in twenty twenty
100
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.360
four, let's talk about that.
So one thing that's important to me when
101
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.879
I travel is miss Ember. Where
is she? Where she is and her
102
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.920
walks, her routine. That's important
to me. So the Maya, they
103
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.759
have this ocean front walk that goes
along their hotel and then if you look
104
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.560
behind me, you can walk a
mile all the way up to the Queen
105
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:30.720
Mary, who's right there, and
then back again. So we're doing about
106
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.439
a two mile walk. And this
starts their property and as you can see
107
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.199
down this trail here, it goes
for some ways. And they have so
108
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.879
many cool things. So again I'm
showing you this and talking to you about
109
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.680
this because I want to hear from
you. Is traveling your budget? If
110
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.519
so, where are you going and
where is your happy place? I have
111
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.000
to say being next to the ocean
anywhere, San Francisco, Seattle, here
112
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.920
in Long Beach, it is certainly
one of my happy places and where I
113
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.920
feel recuminated, and I needed it. The Memorial yesterday gutted me, or
114
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:09.040
Wednesday it gutted me, and I
needed a place to breathe. So I
115
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.600
gave myself an extra day, well
half a day here at the Maya.
116
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.399
I'm a gold member, so we
have late checkouts, so we didn't just
117
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.959
leave out last night or you know, this morning. As you can see,
118
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.600
their rooms are multi level and most
of them have an ocean view.
119
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.199
This is the view here. This
is the pool area. Take a look.
120
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.600
Really cool in it, beva jacuzzi
and cabanas. We even have our
121
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.960
own little
private beach up here.
It's the funniest thing. Every morning I
122
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.720
see Hispanics out here, and I'm
not being racist stuff, just who They've
123
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:48.559
been raking the sand And I thought, okay, what I really thought was,
124
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.320
oh god, how racist the Hispanics
about here raking the sands of the
125
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.840
white people. But there's a lot
of ethnic people staying here at the hotel.
126
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.879
Black people, brown people, yellow
people, you know, so it's
127
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.840
not just that, but it did
seem like it. They also have a
128
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.879
big lily Tomlin chair here, as
I call it, a chair that's way
129
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.360
too big for you to be in
but it's on their little fake beach.
130
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.320
And again, this is just a
happy place of mine. I want to
131
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.279
know about yours. Where do you
go, Where do you feel relaxed,
132
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.559
Where do you feel rejuvenated. Here's
their little beach where they where they comb
133
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.480
the sand every morning. See the
sand they rake it every morning. And
134
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.080
there's the Lily Tomlin chair. As
you can see, it's a huge chair
135
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:35.279
and you sit in it and you
look little so and they have cabanas and
136
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.919
fire and the view is really wonderful. I mean, you can't beat waking
137
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.759
up to that, but with something. Now, look, I got a
138
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.559
great rate, okay, a wonderful
rate, and I had to come.
139
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.360
I had to. But it still
cost me four hundred and fifty dollars.
140
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.840
And I'll put that on my NX
card and I'll pay for it over the
141
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.320
next three months. Because I had
to come to the memorial, I threw
142
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.519
it. So you know, when
I say to you, is it in
143
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.279
your budget? It's because I know
that even a staycation could cost five hundred,
144
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.720
one thousand and fifteen hundred depending how
you do it, you know,
145
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:18.799
and I don't know. Budgets are
tight. So I'm about to pass Fuego
146
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.799
Restaurant. And I want to bring
this up because it's the only I don't
147
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:30.120
say negative things. But here behind
me, here right there, that wonderful
148
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.159
little area there right up top is
Fuego, and Fuego is a wonderful restaurant,
149
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.799
great food. They have one vegan
option, and they're not cheap or
150
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.159
for special events. It's like fifteen
twenty dollars a cocktail, and you know
151
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.360
entrees are twenty five to forty five
dollars each, So it's not something you
152
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.200
would just do every day, but
something that I noticed here. It is
153
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.320
the fabulous restaurant though. And the
view, I mean, look what you
154
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.480
look at when you're eating. I
mean, you know there are places you
155
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.799
could eat that have wor a seat. But I will say this, on
156
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.600
every check, now, every check
they add twenty percent. Period. The
157
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.639
tip is included on every check.
You don't get to decide if it's fifteen
158
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:16.159
or twenty five percent. They tack
on twenty percent to every check. And
159
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.440
I'd like to know how you feel
about that, because I didn't like it.
160
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.639
I thought, you know, what
a tip should be up to me
161
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:31.240
to decide, and just tacking on
twenty percent automatically to me. That ain't
162
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.480
right, you know, because again
it takes the power. A tip is
163
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.960
not a gar it shouldn't be a
guarantee, and at that restaurant it is.
164
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.679
They add twenty percent. I get
it that it's a resort. I
165
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.000
understand that they're dealing with different cultures
and all of that, but as far
166
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.080
as I'm concerned adding twenty like you
don't get a choice. I ordered,
167
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.600
They're okay. I brought oatmeal with
me this morning. I decided, because
168
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.840
there's no microwave in the room that
instead of going throw that drama, I'll
169
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.759
go to the Continental Breakfast because I
get it for free because I'm a gold
170
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.320
member. But if I didn't get
it for free, one bowl of oatmeal
171
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.799
was twelve dollars plus the twenty percent
tip plus tax fifteen dollars and eighteen cents
172
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:20.440
for eight ounces of oatmeal. See
that's what I'm asking about travel. It's
173
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.120
like, can you because when you
travel you got to eat out. And
174
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.159
look, we brought stuff. I
brought my own fruit, my own oh
175
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.960
no, I brought my own tea. You know, I brought a lot
176
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.519
of things. But still you have
to buy stuff. So down below tell
177
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.200
me a couple of things. What's
in your budget in terms of travel,
178
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.840
where do you like to travel,
what is your happy place? And how
179
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.960
do you feel about a restaurant that
just takes away your power to tip that
180
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.559
they just tack on twenty
percent no
matter what, how do you feel about
181
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.879
that? Put all of that below, okay, in the comments at patreon
182
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.080
dot com forward slash really correl or
at YouTube dot com forward slash really correl.
183
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.480
All right, there's more to talk
about, hey, And so there
184
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.879
we have live view right now of
the Queensway Bridge, that is the Rainbow
185
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.159
Bridge in Long Beach. And because
we're here in Queen's Bay, Queensway Bay,
186
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.240
and excuse the lighting. The sun
is not cooperating with me. But
187
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.240
that's okay, We'll do it anyway. You at least get the pretty bridge
188
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.000
behind me, even if I'm in
a little shadow. So being the economy
189
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.519
being what it is, you know, Look, I love this is one
190
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.080
of my happy places. As I've
told you. The Hotel Maya is a
191
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.159
great property. It's why I celebrate
a lot of things here. It's one
192
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.799
of the places I just think is
the most beautiful and Long Beach, even
193
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.360
thea said last night, I could
see myself, you know, just coming
194
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.440
down and having a few days at
the beach. So even if you lived
195
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.519
in La it's a great place.
If you live in San Francisco or any
196
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.399
other place you want to come down
to Long Beach. This is a really
197
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.080
nice place. It's removed from the
hubbub of the city, and you don't
198
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.919
have to step over homeless people,
and it's really a beautiful property. But
199
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.639
there are some things in today's world
that I like to discuss with you,
200
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.720
such as the tipping. You know, they just set it at twenty percent,
201
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.759
so they leave out the fifteen eighteen
or twenty two or twenty five.
202
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.080
But in today's world, you know, is that a thing for you?
203
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.519
I mean, it's not that big
of a deal for me, because it
204
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.159
really took out the question, you
know, like Okay, what should I
205
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.120
tip? You know, it took
that away. It's like, well,
206
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.120
it's it's already there, it's already
included. But that being said, it
207
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.159
does take away your choice. So
on this Friday, as the sun starts
208
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.360
to peek out here in beautiful Long
Beach, where it's only in the seventies,
209
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.000
it's going to be one hundred when
I return home. Where are you
210
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.799
going? Are you planning any summer
trips? Are you planning any fall trips?
211
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.799
Any holiday trips? And where do
you like to go? The beach
212
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.519
is one of my favorite places,
and certainly the hotel I qualifies as a
213
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.480
deep front crop. I mean,
look, it's literally I can throw a
214
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.240
rock into the ocean and the seagulls
a dive in and there behind a moment
215
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.320

craziest, most unhinged gay guy and
his little dog. And let's keep
228
00:15:50.759 --> 00:16:07.399
the party going as long as we
can. Okay, So the light was
229
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.200
perfect, but now it's not cooperating. But that's okay. I can be
230
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.759
in shadow for my shows, right, I mean, why not? Hey,
231
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.159
oh maybe if I stand over here
it'll help. So anyway, So
232
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.399
what on this Friday again? Down
below? Where are you planning on going
233
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.799
this fall or summer or winter or
whatever? How important is travel and tourism
234
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.720
to you nowadays in today's new world, because it is a multi billion dollar
235
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.559
industry that so many people rely upon
for their incomes. Like here at the
236
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.679
Maya, there's so many employees,
from the house staff to the grounds crew
237
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.799
that light the torches every night,
to the people that work at fuego,
238
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.759
to the people that handle the pool. I mean, it's a little
economy
239
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:51.080
all on its own, and it
needs travelers. It needs people that want
240
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.600
to stay here in order to keep
these other people employed. So it is
241
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.919
that tourism is an important part of
our economy. Are you able to participate
242
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.000
in that part of our economy these
days? Do let me know, and
243
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.720
let me know down below in the
comments either at Patreon, Patreon dot com,
244
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.640
forward slash really Correll or YouTube dot
com forward slash really Correll. And
245
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.039
again, if you're ever in Long
Beach, California, or just want to
246
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.400
come to Long Beach, this is
the way to do it, with the
247
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.720
city over there, with you over
here on the beach in a really nice
248
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.480
property. The rooms are very unique
and very cool. So a couple things
249
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.240
on Wednesday show, I hadn't checked
the news because of the memorial and everything,
250
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.680
which went over incredibly. We had
a choir of over twenty five people.
251
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.759
They were all floored. When I
did Seasons of Love, I did
252
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.359
the black female part. I did
because Daniel would want me to do that,
253
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.119
and I did. My eulogy was
a big hit. I knew it
254
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.480
would be. I told you on
the show. Daniel always said, if
255
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.599
I cry when I'm writing something,
it's always great. And it was.
256
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.000
And all the family and friends all
said, what a beautiful service. Rivera's
257
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.839
Mexican Restaurant here did a great job
of catering. And the flowers from Alan's
258
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.599
Flowers, Oh my god, they
were so beautiful. So it was a
259
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.640
great day. It ended here at
the Maya. We had an after party
260
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.799
here and everyone, you know,
someone said it so beautifully. Here we
261
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.440
are drinking twenty dollars cocktails with celebrities, meaning me and Thea. You know,
262
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.119
we're all dressed up, We're at
a beautiful location, and yet we're
263
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.839
all miserable. But that's the way
it is at memorials, and we tried
264
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.519
not to be so miserable. But
on Wednesday show, I had not seen
265
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.960
the Hunter Biden result guilty verdict,
and of course I knew they were going
266
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.799
to find him guilty. He was
guilty. Okay, everyone pleads not guilty,
267
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.920
but come on, he knew he
was on drugs, He knew he
268
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.440
shouldn't have checked the box. I
still think a bigger crime is his wife
269
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:53.359
just throwing a gun into a dumpster. But he'll probably get a light sentence,
270
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.279
I mean, first time offenders usually
do. He could face up to
271
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.279
twenty five years in prison. I
doubt they're gonna throw the book at him.
272
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.759
But it sort of negates all of
everything that Trump has said about the
273
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.599
justice system, which is that they're
out to get him. It's rigged that
274
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:15.000
you know that Democrats are doing the
prosecuting, and that you know, this
275
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.680
totally blows that. This doesn't you
know, this takes away any leg he
276
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.519
had there. Oh hi, Berdie, any leg he had there to stand
277
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.799
on. This takes that away.
And I don't know what they're gonna,
278
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.240
you know, give Hunter, I
don't. I hope it's not that long.
279
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.960
I don't think he deserves jail time. This is not an offense that
280
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.039
I believe you should go to jail
for. No one was harmed with that
281
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.079
gun. It wasn't used in the
commission of any crime. He didn't purchase
282
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.880
the gun and commit a crime.
So given that he just lied on the
283
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:52.119
form, I don't recommend lying on
the forum. But again, I certainly
284
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.279
don't think that's something that warrants jail
time and spending the state or federal money
285
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.400
on housing him maybe house arrest for
four months or six months or something,
286
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.640
but certainly not jail time. At
least That's not what I would do if
287
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.599
I were the judge, but I'm
not the judge, so we'll see.
288
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.240
So that was the that was the
big piece of news this week about Hunter
289
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.640
Biden. And you know, look, we want to scream that no one
290
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:23.319
is above the law. We know
that the Hunter Biden prosecution was actually politically
291
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.000
motivated. If anyone should be mad
about all this, it's Hunter Biden.
292
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:33.279
Because these kinds of offenses don't normally
end up in court. They normally cut
293
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.920
a deal, clear it out,
and you know, save court for violent
294
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:42.119
offenders. Instead, we have them
going after Hunter because he's the president's son.
295
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.920
And if you don't think that's why
they did it, you're wrong.
296
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.559
That is why they did it to
make an example. But in doing so,
297
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.799
I do like that they
negate Trump's
you know, argument about justice being
298
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.960
only unfair. You know that it's
fair to Republicans and not going after Democrats.
299
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.519
He's the president's son. He's been
convicted, and the president says that
300
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.359
he will abide by the court and
he will not pardon him. So I
301
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.640
don't know what else Joe Biden could
do. And let's remember Hunter is not
302
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.400
elected to anything. And while he
is the first presidential child to be convicted
303
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.480
of a felony, he's not the
first that should have been convicted of a
304
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.559
felony. We know some of the
children have behaved very badly from the Bush
305
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.319
children who behaved very badly, and
Secret Service got them out of many a
306
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.839
scuffle. You know, he is
not the first presidential child to be on
307
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.240
drugs, you know, so I
do think that we should cut him some
308
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:48.559
slack. And more importantly, you
know, he has rehabbed, he has
309
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.920
turned his life around. I did
say Wednesday that that is the conversation we
310
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.960
should be having, you know,
Daniel, my friend passed. We don't
311
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:03.440
know why, but I believe drugs
were ann and I believe that we need
312
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:11.599
to have conversations with our family and
with our friends about drugs, and you
313
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.480
know, and we need to stop
with this all or nothing sort of like
314
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.160
either you do them or you don't
do them, you know, blah blah
315
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.440
blah or blah blah blah. We
got to acknowledge. You know. I
316
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.519
watched a lot of people do drugs
yesterday. The drug they did was alcohol,
317
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.480
okay, And so I watched a
lot of people do a lot of
318
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.240
booze yesterday. To get over Daniel. And again, I'm sorry for the
319
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.480
shadows and my face being mostly in
shadow and all of that, but it's
320
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:41.400
the way it is. So we
have to have the conversation about drugs and
321
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:47.839
have it be all drugs. Okay, all drugs, not just illegal drugs.
322
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.279
But we need to have conversations with
our family about what drugs they consume,
323
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.599
how much they consume, and when
it becomes unhealthy for them. And
324
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.839
it becomes unhealthy when it dictates your
life, or when it starts your life,
325
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.359
or when it starts interfering with your
life. That's when it becomes unhealthy.
326
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:10.519
And we need
to have those conversations
and not be afraid of them and
327
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.559
not to think that they carry some
sort of shame. You know, yesterday
328
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.920
people tripped over themselves to not mention
drugs at the memorial, and I thought,
329
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.799
there's no shame in it. You
know, if you or your family
330
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.559
has a problem with alcohol or cannabis
or anything, there's no shame in it.
331
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.839
You know, get help, do
yourself a favor, clean up,
332
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.119
you know, if anything is a
problem, if anything is getting in your
333
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.720
way, because life is so short, you know. I asked Brandon yesterday
334
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.200
because he and I were talking about
drug use, and you know, he
335
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:45.880
likes to drink, and I said, you know, you have a great
336
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.599
wife who is pregnant, you have
a lovely three year old boy, Kai.
337
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.359
Why would you want to not remember
every moment of this? Why would
338
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.079
you want to be medicated? And
you see, that's what you need to
339
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:02.200
ask yourself on this Friday. Should
you be in some weekend partying? What
340
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.720
is it about your life that makes
it so you want to blur the edges
341
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.519
or to make it more bearable?
Fix whatever that is, and the substances
342
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.559
will calm down, They truly,
truly will. All Right, it is
343
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.599
a Friday. I hope you're gonna
have a good weekend. We're going to
344
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.960
be driving back to Las Vegas and
getting back home, getting back to the
345
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:29.039
grind. I this has reminded me
how much I love to travel and what
346
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.920
a a hotel dog ember is.
It was Valentino's first trip Steve's dogs.
347
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.240
I think he did exceptionally well on
his first trip. But it's also a
348
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.039
reminder to me that I haven't been
having much fun, even this trip,
349
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.960
which you know is great to be
here at the May end such it was
350
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:51.759
for the memorial. You know,
I haven't been having much fun in life,
351
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:53.640
and I've been blaming money for that. Like well, I can't afford
352
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.480
to have fun, And that's sort
of the theme of this show. Can
353
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.160
you afford a vacation? Can you
afford to travel? When? Can you
354
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.440
afford to eat out? If they're
going to add twenty percent mandatorily to the
355
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:08.359
check, I would just like to
say that I think we all need to
356
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:15.519
start finding affordable ways to have more
fun. Because being with friends yesterday,
357
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.319
even though it was a bad situation, you know, being at the beach,
358
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:23.319
watching people, jet ski watching animals, going for a walk with Ember
359
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:30.319
and a beautiful scenery, all these
things have renewed me. And I don't
360
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:37.319
think we spend enough time in today's
world renewing our spirit, because it gets
361
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.920
pretty beaten up, didn't it.
I mean the economy and politics and climate
362
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.920
change and you know, all the
things that are going on. It's so
363
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.839
easy for your soul to be beaten
down and for the energy to be zapped,
364
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.039
you know, from your soul.
And you have to have something that's
365
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:04.799
renewing. You have to have something
that replenishes your bad reies. And for
366
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.920
some people it's vacations. For some
people it's staycations. For some people it's
367
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.839
a hobby. But I'd like to
hear from you about how you have been
368
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.640
or if you have been, you
know, replenishing your bad reies. So
369
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.759
many of us just listen to talk
shows, you know, all day long
370
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.000
or the news, and and that's
all depressing. And then we have to
371
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.440
deal with our own lives and then
you know, we get up and wash
372
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.920
wins and repeat, and we need
to break up that monotony. We need
373
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:37.799
to again renew. And so what
I'd like to see hear from you down
374
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.599
below? What are some of the
things that you do right now in your
375
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.880
life to renew your spirit? Because
I'm telling you sitting here on this balcony
376
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.000
watching this water go by, watching
birds, you know, pelicans diving.
377
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:52.240
I don't know how they do that. How do they not break their fri
378
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.880
connect. I'm going to research about
the anatomy of a pelican because they just
379
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:02.319
hit that water full steam and scoop
up fish. We'd break our necks if
380
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.000
we did that, if we dove
in the water like they do. So
381
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.319
they have to have something in their
neck and I want to find out what
382
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:12.079
that is. But what do you
do to renew your soul? And where
383
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.839
do you go? You know,
if you live in a beautiful spot,
384
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.720
do you hike somewhere and spend an
hour just sitting amongst trees or at the
385
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:25.640
water? What do you do to
renew
your soul? Is it just as
386
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.359
simple as going to a movie for
you, getting out going to the theater?
387
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.960
You know, what do you do? I'd love to hear from you
388
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.240
down below about on this weekend?
What are you going to do this weekend?
389
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.319
Okay, or if you're listening past
the weekend, what did you do
390
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:45.079
this weekend to actually renew yourself?
So many of us work all the way
391
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:47.759
through the week and then come the
weekend, you've got so much work to
392
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.680
do for home that there really is
no time recreating. You've got laundry to
393
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:52.599
do, you got dishes to do, you got airinster run, youve got
394
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.720
groceries to shop, then you got
to put them away, and then you
395
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.240
have all these things that you have
to do on the weekend because your weeks
396
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.119
are so full, and so again
your weekends, which was supposed to be
397
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.640
a time to relax and renew,
you don't have the time to relax and
398
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:12.319
renew. So what are you doing
to relax and to renew? I need
399
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.400
to know, as you can hear
Ember with barking. Either house cleaning is
400
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.240
here or somebody is here, I
don't know, but they're going to have
401
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.400
to wait because I'm here with you. So what do you do to relax
402
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:30.920
and renew on the weekend? You
know I need to know other than that,
403
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.839
if you're not a patron, you
should become one at patreon dot com.
404
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.759
That's patreon dot com forward slash really
Correll or YouTube dot com forward slash
405
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.680

406
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.200
of Long Beach while I'm out here? Do you want me to turn the
407
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.359
camera for you because I will.
Okay, here we go, There we
408
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.920
go. There's the city. Isn't
that beautiful? Isn't that gorgeous? There?
409
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.359
It is? That's the view I've
been having from the room, and
410
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.039
I think it's absolutely gor Did I
tell you that I am carel and I
411
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:03.039
want you to be who you want
to be? Soon? Didn't hurt anybody?
412
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.480
I hope I did. But it's
absolutely gorgeous here and I'm just gonna
413
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.000
leave you with this shot. You
need something to do as well, So
414
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.440
what are you gonna do to make
yourself feel like? Looking at this shot?
415
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.359
Makes you feel right now, Huh, what are you gonna do?
416
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.599
Because I'm gonna take some photos of
it and share at it it the way

I hope you are too. I
hope you start getting out more too.
419
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.039
All Right, we'll see you on
Monday. Don't go anywhere, that's given.

422
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.240
renew your spirit. It's broadcasting from
a completely different point of view yours.
423
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:59.759
Listen daily to the Corell Cast on
your favorite streaming service. Okay,
