A Reminder To Practice Self Care First

And I think the overriding theme there is that, no matter how long any of us have to live under any president, no matter how long the planet has, each day that we live, we have to try to be the happiest that we can be. And in this country, we talk a lot about self care, but we don't really practice it a lot, and we're actually made to feel guilty for taking time off, for being relaxed, for doing things that we actually enjoy because they may cost money. And so I want to talk today about how you

take care of yourself? What do you do? And i'd love your comments down below at YouTube dot com, forward slash really Corell or if you want to leave them, at Patreon patreon dot com forward slash really Corell. I didn't realize I had, you know, I don't know about y'all. How many of you have the AirPods? Okay, and you just simply forget that you have them in and then you take them out. You're like, oh, there's a whole new world. So anyway, so one of the things that

I'm really into, as you know, is tea. I love tea, and I've really discovered something that a lot of people already know about. But you know, when I discover something, I want to share it in case you don't know about it. And it's the epitome of self care really because if you do it properly, if you don't go to a drive through like Starbucks, if you do it properly, they're ceremony and ritual involved, and there's also history involved, and it's very very good for you, and it makes

you calm down for a moment and relax. It makes you quiet the mind and quiet the soul. And I think in today's world of NonStop bombardment of all kinds of things, I think it's very important that we quiet our souls and that we calm down. Now, for some of you, that's playing music. For some of you, that's just being with your family or your children, or maybe curling up in front of the There's a lot of different netflix and chill. There's a lot of ways that

we all acquiet our minds. So one of the ways that I do that is very healthy for all of us is by having a lovely cup of tea. And I have discovered macha. Okay, now we all know the benefits of green tea. In fact, in most of the Blue Zones, places where people live to be over one hundred years old, one of the commonalities is they drink green tea. Green tea is high in antioxidants, it's got lots of vitamins in it. It's just very very good

for you. And macha is actually different from the tea you get because macha is the entire plant ground up. It's not the leaves that are then steeped in water and then served as tea. This is the actual plant and you drink it and it's just so good and rich and frothy and got a lot of ceremony. Now I have, of course, if I'm gonna do something, I do it. I have a traditional macha set. You do not need this to make macha. You can. You can steep it in a French press. You can. You know,

you can do it however you want to. You can make macha lates if you want. I know a lot of places carry them. I do want to say something though, Macha is not cheap. And so when you go to a place and you get a macha lat or whatever, you're not getting the best macha. Okay, right, miss Ember, get a little drink there, girly. This bag of macha was on sale. It's a one pound bag from Harny Teas. It's called their Everyday Organic Macha. It was on sale

for one pound for fifty five dollars. Now that's a lot. But you only use a quarter teaspoon for every time you make the tea. So as you see, it's gonna take me a very long time to go through this whole bag, so probably once a year be making that purchase. Now, macha has been around since nine hundred and sixty a d Zen monks used to do it, and then in the eleventh twelfth century, in the eleven hundreds, Japan really took hold of macha and they started a whole culture

based around macha. In Japan, it's very very revered there. There's a lot of ceremony involved in it, and so macha in Japan and China is very very big. And again it has a huge history from the nine hundreds all the way up until now. That's why some of these ceremonial things look a little older. This is a bamboo whisk and I highly recommend getting one. It's got a name like Shasuka Cha sah uk. This is the holder for the bamboo whisk. And this is your little

holder for your teaspoon. This is to sift your macha before you put it into your bowl to mix. This is to drink your your macha. And again I want to talk about self care and quieting the mind. You know, right now there's so much noise with the election. I don't know if you're like me, but I cannot just cannot turn on television or anything because the ads are

just ridiculous. Now, I just got hot water out of my Zojiishi hot water dispenser, which sits on my counter, holds for three liters of water and keeps it at two hundred and five degrees for Macha, you wanted at about one eighty five. So you just let this sit for a quick second. It'll it'll chill out in just a very quick second. So we have all this noise coming at us. You know, I tried to take a nap today and I told, you know, the smart device.

I'm not going to say their name. I told the smart device to play music for sleep, and they played music for sleep on Spotify, of which I am not a subscriber. And so after three songs are three mellow, you know, citar things, all of a sudden it's you know, Kamala Harris, this Donald Trump fat and I don't know about you, but I just tune out those ads now because they're all lies, even the ones for Kamala Harris. I don't want to say they're lies, but they're just

the same tropes over and over and over again. And I already know who I'm voting for. I think almost everyone that's going to vote knows who they're voting for. They've actually started early voting here in Nevada, and we start early in person voting on October nineteenth, and so we're just three weeks away, basically from starting early voting, forty days or thirty nine days away from the general and so now it's going to be at a fever pitch.

Every billboard, you look at, every radio station's going to have these ads, every TV and they're just too much. They're just too much. And the same for the news of the week. We've got Israel and Gaza and now Lebanon involved. We've got World War about to wage in the Middle East. We've got the war in the Ukraine. We've got line at Change, a hurricane battering Florida with enormous storm surge, Helene I believe was her name, hitting as we speak, as I'm taping this, it is hitting Florida,

and people are actually at risk and or dying. And so you've got all of this going on, and where where again, where in that is self care. It's a Friday. You're probably at work, many of you that are not retired by the time you get home and get dinner done and get the family squared away, it's going to be nine ten o'clock at night. Again, where is that self care? When's the last time you had a manicure? In pedicure? And I'm talking to the men and the women, Okay,

when's the last time? When's the last time you had one? It's been too long for me, I'll tell you because they're eighty bucks, they haven't. But Walmart now they have a nail shalan at Walmart. And I thought I would rather die than have a manicure pedicure at Walmart. But why you know, that's just me being ridiculously classest. I should you know, because they're a little cheaper at Walmart.

But normally, and don't be fooled, they'll say manny petty twenty nine dollars and then you get in there if you want a nice many petty, you know it goes up substantially. But when's the last time you had a massage. When's the last time you had a many petty? When's the last time you gave yourself a facial even just yourself? You know where you go in and put on a charcoal mask or maybe do a little micro neediling or something,

you know, just self care. When's the last time you took a nice shower, you know, and had lovely oils. What about around your house? Do you have lavender or some kind of scents that are filling your air? To try to make it just a little more comfortable, try to make your mind a little more calm, all right, So for self care, let's learn how to make macha. So you get yourself some macha. And oh, I've dropped my bamboo whisk. It can't happen. See, I should put

it on there. So you get yourself some macha, and you take everything has a name. Okay. I can give you the names if you want. You won't remember them because they're Chinese and Japanese words. So you go into your macha, which is this bright green powder? Look at that? Isn't that beautiful? Isn't that something? Isn't that just spectacular? I believe it's just beautiful. It's just just iridescent green powder.

And you put it in your strainer, okay, and then you put this back on your holder because you're pissy. Then strain your macha. This is gonna make it so it doesn't clump, okay, just like powdered sugar, you know whatever, any kind of powder. And as you see, there are lumps. There are lumps in there, so you want to get those lumps out. You want to strain this down. You don't want to lose any macha, So just press those

lumps through. There. You have strained your macha. Now with your hot water, you're gonna take just two ounces of hot water, okay, to start with you you start with six ounces total, which a quarter cup is two ounces, so three quarters of a cup. So put in two ounces to about four which is a half a cup. Yep. Okay, there we go. And now the fun part. You take your wisk here, let me and you wish it about to make sort of a paste. It's not really gonna be a paste, but it's gonna be pretty thick. Okay.

So you take this and you do this, and you mix it about. You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around and see this is ceremonial. This is this is calming. I'm calmer, you know. So you get this beautiful green liquid all mixed up. Then, depending upon how strong you want your macha, you mix a half a cup or more if you want it more diluted, okay, but six ounces of water for one for one of these scoops, a quarter teaspoon is about is about right. So there we go. I'm gonna add that back in

there now. I'm gonna wire whisk it or a bamboo whisk it again. Fabulous. This whole little step was forty one dollars. A friend of mine bought it for me. They heard I was gonna get into macha Hannah, and Hannah bought me this wonderful little set here, so I mixed it up. You can put this here until you wash it. Now, you take your macha and you pour it into this beautiful cup. Look at that gorgeous, gorgeous liquid. The cups are six ounces because that's the perfect size

of macha. You can sweeten it if you want to. I just drink it the way it is. Hello, Solangja, cheers. Oh oh, I can feel the healing qualities. I can just feel it. Now. You could use this six ounces here, steam up some plant based milk, soy milk, almond milk, whatever. I found a great product. It's from who's it from the Forager Project. It's dairy free half in half. I would certainly you could steam up some dairy free half in half and add it to your macha to make

more of a macha latte if you wanted to. It's very good. By the way, Macha is delicious hot or cold, you know, just like any tea, And so you could use it as iced tea if you wanted to iced macha. And however, you you know, there's a great saying, someone said, how do you make the perfect cup of tea? And the best response for that is the way that you like it. You know, if you like cream and sugar in your earl gray, then have it. That's traditionally lemon

and honey. But if you happen to like, you know, Earl Gray that way, I have the best earl Gray. So down here, I don't know if you guys can see this area, there's six pounds of tea. There's Earl Gray, Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast, Vanilla, Darjeeling, and Queen Catherine. Up top here there's chocolate tea, black tea with chocolate, and

then mango fruit tea. There's macha, and then in the cabinet I have herb tea and the tea called Birthday Tea, which is a decaffeinated fruity type tea from Harney and it's delicious for iced tea. To make the Birthday tea and the mango together, it's perfect. So take some time this weekend for self care. Okay, I want you to take some time this weekend make yourself and indulge. I don't have the money to be doing this. I can't.

Who am I to be buying fifty dollar tea? You know, I mean truly, but in life, we're not getting out of this alive. And if it doesn't deprive you of paying a light bill or a gas bill or a then do it. Oh do you hear that? Alexa? Stop girl? She is carrying on back there behind me. Wasn't she enjoy your Macha. We'll be back to fit and talk a little bit more and then I'll let you go have a fabulous recant. Okay. If you're not visiting taking care of yourself.

would upset me. But yeah, it's going. There's a store here called Aroma, and you can order the scents of the various hotels, and this one is the scent of the Venetian. Didn't aren't these flowers adorable? You should have flowers around your house. I got these at Smith's for

two dollars and fifty cents. I always go there and look at their discounted flowers that they're about to throw away, and then I find the ones that are the most percuppable, and they're usually like two dollars, so these were two fifty and they add a lot to my table. So I've got my macha and the weekend it's here, it's Friday. You made it. I made it. M that's so good. Can I just I'm just gonna gulp this so I can do the show. Because this is so good, you're

supposed to sip it, but child, that's good. So I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things in this segment, about more self care and how I encourage you this weekend to do something anything that frees your mind, calms your mind, that makes you happy and brings you joy. You know, someone on the chat room yesterday said, I've known Carrel since it's kg O days. I went to lunch with him and he probably did, and I bet I was a lot happier then, even

though kg O stressed me out. While I belief, oh, the double standard that applied to me and my gainness was such a problem for them, I still can't believe a radio station in San Francisco would have a problem with my gainess, but they did. But that being said, in my personal life, I was starting to get happy because years had passed since Andrew's passing. I had a great group of friends, including Daniel Charleston, who I missed very much. This week, I've been missing him so much

this week. And you know, I just was. I was younger and not as plagued by health worries as I am now. Of course I was on a lot of drugs. Maybe that was the answer. I was just on a lot of drugs, a lot of oxy, A lot of my entire tenure at KGO I is on oxy content the whole time, and well most of KFI anyway. So I want you to find a place that brings you joy, whether it's a nook and cranny of your home or a movie theater, or maybe you like to go through

store shopping. That used to be big for me. Andrew and Karen. We'd go through store shopping and then we'd go fish shopping, not to eat the fish, but to put them in my aquarium. Las Vegas is the first time I haven't had a saltwater aquarium, and I think I'm gonna remedy that. And I keep saying I'm not going to get one because I'm gonna move in a year, I'm gonna move in two years, or I'm gonna move in But you know what, I'll just deal with it. When I move, I'll sell it, or I'll sell the

fish or whatever. But again, because that gave me joy. Well, I'm probably not going to because it's money. It's a lot of money. A saltwater fish tank is a lot of money. It's hundreds of dollars a month, So I probably won't be doing that, but I want it. So find something that brings you joy. But I saw a headline this morning how P. Ditty's case is going to bring down Hollywood. First of all, why are they going after P. Ditty and all of the people that attended

his parties? And now those lists are being made public when we still ain't heard crap about everybody that was in Jeffrey Epstein's little back black book. And you know why, because it's only entertainers that attended Ditty's parties, and it's big politicians and presidents and ex presidents and all kinds Alan Dershwitz, it's very powerful men that attended Jeffrey Epstein's soarees.

We're not hearing that that black book exists. It's still around. Giselle, whatever her name is, could you know, could release names. I'm sure in her little brain she remembers people. But we're not forcing that issue, nor are any of us, and I believe that some of it was released and we just it just the news didn't cover it. But when Diddy, every fart is being covered and they say, oh, it's going to bring down Hollywood, it's going to bring down jay Z. It's going to bring down beyond say

you know what. How many of y'all have been to a party and freaky things were going on at that party that you did not participate in. How many of you have been to parties in your lifetime where there were drugs going on that you did not do, and up until just recently, if pott was one of those drugs, then they were illegal drugs. How many of you through the years have been to a party where there was pot when it was illegal and either you did some

or you didn't. How many of you have been to a party where there was cocaine going on and you didn't do any I'd like to say me, but I did it. In the eighties. If I was at a party and offered cocaine, well, I found was offered anything. I did it. Drop of acid, sure, mushrooms, absolutely, cocaine, you bet. Never did speed, never did crystal meth, never did heroin, never injected anything in my body. But cocaine, marijuana, MDA not MDMA, MDA what else, acid, mushrooms, marijuana of course,

and a lot of alcohol. So yeah, I did all that at parties in the eighties and maybe the nineties, a little bit of the nineties. Then I stopped just only drank and did pot. And then I stopped and just did pot. But I've bet at parties where there was all kinds of sex going on, I mean, all cons where the pool was just a Roman bath. Honey, you know, I believe everybody was there consensually. I didn't ask, you know, But sir, I've been at sex parties. Absolutely

did I participate. Now I was married. I had Andrew, you know, and we would just say hi to people, and when it started getting hot and steamy, we'd believe, you know. So I've been at parties where stuff has gone on that I either didn't participate in or didn't condone, and I left. But when it all started happening, even did he himself would say they'd have the parties and then they'd have an after party. So do I think that Jessica Sarah, Jessica Parker, and Matthew Broderick, who have

been to some of their parties. Were you know, lubing up and jumping in the middle of an origin No I do not, not that I would begrudge them that. I just don't believe they were doing it, do you all? I mean, yeah, A lot of celebrities went to his parties. Martha Stewart went to his parties. Oprah went to his parties. I think Oprah was in the middle of a room filled with lube and sex slaves. No, I do not so this notion of guilt by association. He had a

beautiful home in the Hamptons. He would have an annual Fourth of July party and an annual New Year's Eve party, and people attended, very important celebrities. But that doesn't mean they were all doing these frea COFs for three days in a row. Who has that amount of time? I mean really, no wonder did he ain't had a hit record or anything. He's spending too much time doing these damn freakoffs. I ain't got that kind of time to have sex for three days, you know what, thirty minutes

and then go on your way. So they're really doing it because they want to take down black men. And look, that's just the truth. Jeffrey Epstein was white. A majority of his rich clients are white. You're not hearing about them. But the black celebrities, the jay Z, the Diddy, this, the jayl Hello, the Hispanic celebrities, all of that. Oh, you're hearing all about them. So first of all, they want to bring down black entertainers. Ah, you're falling. You've

fallen and you can't get up here. I'll help you. Don't be falling like that now. Oh I got to fire my cameraman, honey, I certainly do. Okay, So you know they want to bring down black men. Sorry about that, and I do believe that's part of it. Now you're kind of crooked, should I sit this way? Whatever? So this segment is a little askew. They do want to

bring down black men and black entertainers. And it's much easier to talk about freaky Hollywood stars than it is freaky senators, freaky judges, freaky this, freaky that, you know what. So it's not and it's not going to bring down Hollywood. I could care less who anybody in Hollywood is screwing.

I could care less as long as it was consensual, period, And we know that some of it wasn't and so yes, Diddy should be in jail for that, but so should a hell of a lot of other white men who do this to their wives, who do this to their girlfriends.

Just watch the show Worst Roommate Ever, or watch the show Worst x Ever, and you will find out that there are some people that do horrible things to people for years on end, and when they get arrested, they go to jail for four years, five years, six years. They've ruined lives, and yet they go to jail for like, you know, four years. So I believe that Hollywood will survive the scandal of Ditty. And I also believe that just because you hear a celebrity was at a didty

party doesn't mean they were diddling everybody. Okay, I have been to many mentioned parties in Beverly Hills, many, many, many many, And what happened after I left? I have no idea what was going on in some of the rooms while I was there. I have no idea. But did I do it? No unless I wanted to. So you know what, We've all been to those kind of parties and stop acting like you ain't been to a

party where sex has gone on. Okay, just stop, because if you haven't, then you I feel seur, I really feel sorry for you if you have not been to a party where in the bathroom someone didn't do it, quickie, or in a bedroom somewhere someone did. Maybe not as an adult, maybe you were a teenager, whatever, But we've all been to a party where sex has happened. And if we haven't, then you've been going to the wrong parties. Okay, and the stuffy dinner parties they're the worst. Those people

get real freaky afterwards. Sonny, that's dungeon kind of shit there.

I'm telling you that. So, yes, so I really believe this diddy thing is not going to take down Hollywood and that it's going to more importantly come out that this is kind of racially motivated to bring down the Black Wrapper, because when you compare it to the Epstein trial, when you compare it to the Epstein release of information and the Epstein book and Black Book, and how we haven't heard any of it, or if we have, the media has ignored it and they're playing up this ditty thing,

then you understand the other thing. You know, America's got talent just ended in this This like sixty to fifty eight year old Janiture one. He sounds like Steve Perry from Journey. And everyone's talking about his million dollar prize. He ain't gonna get that. Okay, you all got to read that. When my friend Marien Langham was on America's

Got Talent, I read the fine print. When you win a million dollars on America's Got Talent, they want to pay you twenty five thousand dollars a year for forty years. That's the truth. Twenty five a year for forty years. They want it to be an annuity. Well, this guy's fifty eight years old. So first of all, you know, so if you take a cash payout of the million dollars in today's world, it's about three hundred thousand dollars

that you'll get. The government gets half right off the right off the top, they get five hundred thousand, about four fifty forty five percent the government gets, and then after that there's other fees, and so you'll get about three hundred thousand. Ain't ain't that You know, you win this competition, you think you're getting a million dollar prize, and then they say, oh, by the way, and you know, casinos here in Vegas are trying to do that crap.

out of there in a million dollars. You walk out of there with four hundred thousand, which, hey, which of us wouldn't take that? But you ain't winning the million. You ain't to actually take home a million dollars. You got to win like two million dollars and then they gonna ask you, can we pay you over ten years? Can we pay you over twenty years? The casinos just

started doing that. They used to just give you whatever amount it was right then and there, and if they didn't have all that cash, they'd put you up in a suite for the night. Well they got the cash, and the next day they'd bring up cash to your room nin anymore. Now they want to pay you an annuity. Can we give you ten grand a year for the next three hundred and twenty years. Hell to the no, you rich mofos. Give me the money, give me my money.

So this janitor in America's got talent. He's only getting three hundred thousand dollars, which again will be life changing for him. You know it will be it'll be beyond you know, his life will be forever changed. But it ain't a million And that's what they sell their audience. They sell the audience. Oh, our winners get a million dollar prize. Uh huh, No they don't. They either get twenty five grand a year for forty years, or they get,

you know, three hundred thousand dollars to walk away with. Oh, ziggy, stop up in my ear. Well, self care. I want you to take care of yourself. I want you to see a movie. I want you to get a massage. Do you get a facial micro needle. I want you to go for a walk someplace you don't normally walk that you love, that's beautiful, Go to a hiking spot that you love to go to. I want you to go look at the view of the Bay or I want you to go. I want you to take some

self care this weekend. Have a cup of macha somewhere. If you live in a city with a Chinatown, go have some macha. Have them do the whole ceremony in front of you.
