Well, the Democratic National Convention starts today, and what can we expect. I'm gonna tell you also, I have learned a very important lesson about letting go, and I think you can learn something from it too. So join me on this Monday. Woo uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged. It's the Courell Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service. It is the Crell Cast. I am Correl, so very glad you are joining me on this Monday, This Monday plagued
with technical difficulties. I can't even begin to tell you. But here. We are a little bit late, but we're here, and I'm so very glad you are joining me. Yes, I know my head is cut off by the second camera. I don't have time to adjust it. We're lucky the
camera's working because it wasn't five minutes ago. All right, So the Democratic National Convention off to a big start today, and all the heavyweights are gonna be there, Bill Clinton, Obama's all of it all to pick Kamala Harris, who has already got the delegates to be their official nominee,
and Tim Walls. They are, of course, they already have the delegates, no question, no FLOORI fight, it's gonna happen, and we're gonna talk in the second half all about has Kamala burst Donald Trump's bubble, because he certainly is behaving like she has burst the bubble. So we're gonna
talk about that. But first a personal topic, because those always, those are the ones that really just you guys always comment on those, you know, and I love your comments down below at YouTube dot com forward slash really Corell or patreon dot com forward slash really Corell. So I'm gonna tell a little story and maybe you can relate, maybe you can't. Twenty five years ago, I was in my living room at Park Howard in Long Beach, California. And Andrew was alive and well, and we had just
started our jobs at KFI. We were doing fill in and such, and you know, and we were doing okay, we weren't rolling in dough, but you know, we had started our jobs and we were, you know, starting to get ahead. So Andrew comes home one day and we didn't have any furniture. And for those of you that may remember, one of our most requested shows was when our friend Dan Zamora brought us basically a house full of furniture from a thrift store and it was horrifying.
Oh my god. It was like it wasn't just thrift store. It was like the worst patterns and it was it was horrible. We did a whole show about, you know, can you re you know, should you tell your friend? I'm sorry, but we're not keeping this. We did keep the chair though, and recovered it. So after that debacle, Andrew just had had enough and he went out and bought a sofa, love seat and a dining table. And he came home and he said, I don't want to hear about it. I went out and bought furniture. I
don't want to hear about the price. Put it on the new credit card that I got because he had got a new credit card, and that's that. I don't want to hear about it. And I was like, okay, So a brown leather sofa arrives and a green Chase lounge, the loure velvet, very nice, very opulent, very pretty, and then a fabulous table that was a map to match the theme of the room. And I have had that Chase lounge and that map table and that sofa ever since. Well, the Chase lounge got a rip all the way down
the center of it. And I never had it reupholstered. That just got to rip like three years ago, and I just covered it with a green throw and it looked very lower class. There's no other way to say it. It was a ripped piece of old Warren furniture. And the other day I realized here in my studio, I was very cramped and I needed to rearrange. And so Steve came over and he's all, get rid of the Chase lounge. It's ripped, it's twenty five years old. It's
time to go. And I just the thought of that because Andrew bought it and it has been with me, and there's so many memories been made on that Chase lounge, and I just thought, I, you know, I can't. He goes, yes, you can. It's a piece of furniture. It's not Andrew. It's just a piece of furniture. And it's probably worth seven hundred bucks and it would be five hundred to refinish, to reupholster it. So put it up for to let it go. So I put it on offer up for free, said,
all it needs to be is reupholstered. Come and get it. No only did no one offer want to come get it, but one person said throw it in a dumpster started on fire before that thing multiplies, implying that it was just trash. So when I got that email, I said, all right, and I am Julia, all right, Steve, let's throw it away. So I threw it in the dumpster.
And later night I cried. I cried and cried. And when I passed the dumpster even this morning and I see its little feet hanging out of the dumpster, I cry. And I know it's dumb to cry over a piece
of furniture. So I was gonna go to the Lake's house, where a lot of Daniel Daniel Charleston stuff is and I've stored stuff there, and get a sofa bed that I bought years ago, about eight years ago, seven years ago there that's at the Lake's house, and put it in this room with an ottoman, and Steve's all, but the ottoman doesn't match the sofa. And again you're just using, you know, reused furniture. He's like, go buy yourself a small sectional for that studio. I said, Steve, I don't
have the money. I do not have the money. I don't have I don't have any money, and he said, look, Ashley is offering twelve months zero percent financing. You have good credit, go get you the sofa. Don't spend a fortune, and finance it for twelve months at zero percent. So
we went there. I was on an edible. I found a really fabulous Chase Lounge sofa for six ninety nine on sale from eleven ninety nine for Labor Day, and they did do zero percent financing for twelve months, so it would basically be sixty five dollars a month for twelve months. And I thought, you know, okay, so I bought it and it'll be delivered on Wednesday. And this overwhelming feeling of loss I have feels like I'm losing Andrew all over again. And it's because of the emotional
attachment to that Chase Lounge. I tied it into Andy. And you know, I complain about being alone and not dating and all of that, but the fact is I still hold on to Andy pretty tightly, and as much as I'm over it and have moved through it and beyond it and ready for love and all that, in some ways I'm not. And so if we want new things in our life. If we want new experiences, new people, if we have to clear out a place for them
to occupy. And I have been cluttering up my life, including my condo, with my past and holding on to a lot of that stuff has not let my future solidify yet. I have been in between, in between Andrew and someone new, in between KFI and KGO and something new. I have been living in this limbo. And many of you may be in that limbo with me, where you have been in between the former life you had and the new life you can have. And especially under Donald Trump and the way the world is today, it keeps
us in a limbo. But what that does is it doesn't allow us to live our present and to craft our own future. It's too crowded. In order for us to succeed as a country, we have to get past Donald Trump. We have to throw him in the dumpster. We have to let go of any emotional attachment we have of Joe Biden. We have to let go and move forward. And we have to let go of the old notion and ideals of what America was. We have
to start crafting what is America going to be? And to do that we have to get rid of the clutter. Fossil fuel is something we hold on to from our past. It's clutter. It's the chase lounge. It needs to be in the dumpster. So much of what we do, so many systems that we have, the electoral College, we have to let it go. We have to throw it in the dumpster of time. It doesn't serve us well. There's so many things as nation, the way that we deal with the homeless, we have to completely let that go.
We have to craft a new way to tackle the homeless problem. And to do that, we have to fire everybody that works in that field. We have to dismantle every system and rebuild it with something new, something better, something our own. You know, when this sectional arrives, it may not be much. It's just a six ninety nine sectional. But it's mine. I didn't go buy it with a boyfriend. I didn't inherit it. I didn't take it from a dead guy's house. It's mine. I went, I bought it.
My motor scooter is mine. Andrew never saw me on a motorcycle. You know, the car is not mine. I still consider the car I drive Steves. He gave it to me, but and it's a fabulous, fabulous car. But I never would have bought Alexis r X three hundred. Well now I probably would because I see how long it lasts. But back the day, my dream car is a Jeep. My dream vehicle is a big four wheel drive Jeep. I know that may shock some of you. Electric.
That's my dream vehicle, an electric Jeep. I don't even know if they make them yet, but that's my dream. So so many of us in our lives, we don't have room for the future because our present is crowded with our past and with things that we just won't let go because we're emotionally attached to them, whether it's people, there are some people that we need to let go of. If we're gonna have new people in our future, we
have to let go of some of the bad. They're torn, they're ripped, they're worn, and yes they're comfortable and they're reliable and they're always there. But that's the problem. Complacency, contentment, all of that can rob you of your future and stop you from making the changes you really need to make. I know that it did me, and I know that it has me. Okay, I understand that and so maybe I'm signaling to the universe that I'm ready. Maybe I am.
Maybe it's just rearranging the studio, which now that I haven't rearranged, and I brought a chair in from out there, I kind of like it without the sectional. I'm like, well, maybe you didn't need it. I could still cancel it, but I don't know. We'll see, We'll see sixty bucks a month and you know, but we'll see. But the point is that, whether we're talking about politics or personal, we cannot make room for a future if we hold
on to too much of the past. And sometimes we think we've moved through things and let go and all of that, but the fact is we haven't. Truly. Part of us is still holding on to something. You know, I'm never gonna forget Andy. I'm never gonna forget the times we had. His family is my family, except for his sister Candy, who now hates me. But you know, that bond is there. I don't need a Chase lounge that he bought because he would have thrown it out.
Oh my god. You know, Steve said, what would Andrew do? I said, he would have tossed that thing out and gone shopping that's the thing. Even if we were broke, he would have tossed it out and gone to the thrift store or whatever. He just wouldn't have He wouldn't have put up with it, or he would have learned how to reapposter it himself. He wouldn't have paid someone five hundred bucks to reapposter it. He would have done it himself. But Andrew was not about holding onto things.
He was about letting go. And so I need to incorporate some of that into my life. And maybe you do too. You know, maybe you need to clear out some space for that new person. Maybe you need to clear out some space for that new wealth to come into you. Maybe you need to clear out some space literally in your house for some new look or some fresh look to make you feel excited. I was so upset by change that for days I cried. Saturday and Sunday, I cried over the Chase lounge. And this morning, when
I saw it in the dumpster, my heart sank. It's like I'm throwing away Andy, like I'm throwing away my past, like I'm throwing away some connection. Now. Look, I have an antique set up at the Lakes from the eighteen hundreds that needs to be recovered, and I will not get rid of that. It's going to take four grand to refurbish it, but it's worth four times that. And
I love it. And Ali chewed the corner of it, and Andrew used to make fun of me for loving it, and there's just no way that I'm not going that I'm going to get rid of that. But a Chase lounge that was bought at like a wall furniture or something twenty five years ago, that is not some you know, nineteenth century antique. So holding on to it, you know, it was really just holding on to Andy. And so I think we all could take a lesson from this
and let things go, especially the hard things. If there's something that you need, you know, you need to let it go to make room. Whether it's a person or a thing, or a way of thinking. You know, the same applies for ways of thinking. If we don't change our ways of thinking from the ways that we thought, we will never craft a future. We've got to think differently to borrow the jobs. When we come back, Kamala is bursting Trump's bubbles and he's not well with him.

Oh, it is a Crol Cast, and I am Corral and I am back, all right. So it is fun to see Donald Trump imploding the way that he is, and he is just melting down, and it's great to watch because he knows that Kamala has made this a very different horse race. Now she
is in it, and in many projections she's winning it. Now, I'm not going to take that for granted. Hillary was up in the polls and all this other stuff, and then she lost. She of course won the popular vote, but still lost the election. So I'm not going to take anything for granted until November sixth, the day before my birthday. What a birthday present. I want Kamala and Tim Kamala and Tim for my birthday, so that you know,
and I hope that happens. But the Democratic National Convention is going on and tens of thousands of Palestinian protesters are going to convene upon it. It makes me wonder why they didn't convene upon the RNC. Did they just think Republicans don't care? Or are the sponsored by the Republican Party, you know, trying to disrupt the Democrats. Now, look, I'm
with many of the protesters, but so is Kamala. Kamala has made it clear now is the time for a cease fire, although this morning we hear that the talks that this is like the last chance and then and then it's over. And you know, Nettan y'all who wants what did I tell you here on the show just a few weeks ago that net y'all who does not want to cease fire. He wants never ending war, and
he wants US involved in it. And it looks like he's going to get that unless the US President says to him, I'm not supporting you or your war from this day onward. I will not give you one bit of military aid or one bit of money for military aid for your war. And that's what it's going to take. And unfortunately, I don't know why the United States doesn't have the balls to do that, to say to Benjamin Netan Yahoo, we are cutting off all support to your
military efforts in the war. We are not giving you any money for war, and we're not giving you any weapons. If you want to fight this unending you fight it on your own. Where if Iran attacks you, oh well, Iran attacks you, We're not getting involved. And if NATO would tell BB Netan Yahoo, We're sorry, but if you get involved in a full regional war, We're not getting involved. If France and Great Britain said to BB we're not
sending you support, it's your war, you fight it. No one else in the reds Iran said they would not retaliate against Israel if a ceased fire is reached. I mean all everybody wants to seize fire except Benjamin Netanyahu. Kamala Harris wants to seize fire. The leaders in Iran, the leaders in the leaders in the United States currently Joe Biden, the leaders in Europe, NATO, they all want us the fire. The only one that doesn't is Benjamin Netanyahu. So why on earth would we support him and his war?
If Donald Trump wins and gets in some kind of war, I hope other nations don't support him. Well that means they wouldn't be supporting you, Corell. I would not support a never ending war, particularly one launched by Donald Trump. So Kamala is, you know, invigorated the Democrats she has. You know, I've written a song for her, thea Austin is gonna record it tomorrow, wait on Wednesday. Because Amazon screwed the pooch. I hate Amazon. They were supposed to
deliver her microphone and stuff this morning. They didn't. Now they had to reroute it. It won't be there till tomorrow. Actually we had to cancel the order, get a refund in fourteen days, but reorder the stuff this afternoon, so spend double the money. Amazon is a horror. It's just the worst company in the world. It is the worst company in the world. And if Guitar Center or sam Ash or something had had all this, we would have
bought from there, but they didn't. So Thea's gonna get it on Wednesday, and she'll record the song and by Friday or Monday, I'm gonna have We're not coming back a song I wrote with a little help musically from Leo Frappier and Ai Uh. And We're gonna and Thea's gonna We're not coming back. Where not give in. We are gonna fight cousin. We fight, we win, we win. We're not going back. We're not giving in. We are gonna fight Cousin, we fight, we win. You see the
world so different, a very weird worldview. You don't want real progress for anyone, but you say we must go back regression to the past. I say we must move forward to make a union. Last I wrote all that, I wrote that it's wonderful and that's gonna be recorded, and I hope it invigorates the Democrats and I hope it gets played at all of her rallies between now and then. And because we're not going back, we're not
going back, We're not give in. And I think that's the sentiment, right, I mean, we're not going back, and I think that's what the DNS. I wish I had it for the conference. I would have if people could have recorded it in time and whatever, But you know what, sometimes you just gotta step back and say this's gonna happen. When it's gonna happen. I know I needed it by today, and the truth, I could have released an AI version. I have a fully sung AI version of the song.
But as an artist, I will never release a song that I wrote that has been sung by a computerized voice and the music done by a computer. I won't do it. And everyone says, oh, it's the ray. Everyone's doing it now, that's the way it's being done, even big producers. I don't care what they're doing. I am never going to have an AI singer on one of my songs, particularly one that I want a presidential candidate to use the ramifications of that. It's just wrong. It
feels wrong. I could have had the song out eight days ago. I wrote it right after the Vegas Convention, but I will not use an AI voice. And it's great. THEA heard it. She said, don't we record this, just release this. I said, THEA. That's not a real person singing, it's a computer. She said, well, so what it's what's happening nowadays? Just you know, really, I said no. I said, if you don't want to sing it, that's fine. No, she says, no, I want to sing it. I will
sing it for you. She says, I'm just telling you that the AI version is really good. And I'm like, yes, and that's really scary. And so yeah, no, I won't do it. I won't release an AI version. I could have had a version out for the conference, but I won't do it. So she has excited me, she's excited the demo. She has excited, and she scared Donald Trump. So all of that is great. And you know, I was preaching against Joe Biden stepping down. I was like, look,
he's the candidate. We got him. You knew he was old before, but I couldn't foresee what no one could. Everyone has written about how no one saw this coming. You know, the country has attached to her, has embraced her young people in particular, And yesterday she was photographed loving a fire dog and who you know, Trump has never gone near a dog in his life. And you know, I just I love her, She loves animals. I think she's going to be a great president and so but
we didn't see that coming. You know, we didn't know what the Democrats were gonna do if if he stepped down. Now we do, and we didn't know if people were going to embrace her, and now they have. So it's working out for the Democrats. Now will it equate to a victory. I don't know Trump's thinking it will. And
I love that. You know what the GOP is spending time doing while we're having record heat across the country, while there's a homeless crisis out of control, while the education system is falling apart, while people can't breathe air in some cities from forest fires, you know what they're doing. They finished their impeachment proceedings against Biden, and are recommending impeachment. Yes, the GOP wrapped up there and they said, oh, well,
he helped financially gained. He helped Hunter Biden financially gain, and his family is financially gained. Fucking Donald Trump's family made billions of dollars combined while they were in the White House billions. And now we know that he financially gained from being president. We now know that people stayed in his towers and were charged these weird amounts ten million dollars for a one week's day, and they paid it. It was a campaign, It was a contribution to Trump
the millions of dollars while in office. Jared got two billion as soon as they left office. While they were in office, Ivanka working out the White House made one hundred million dollars. This is documented. No one has to go searching for this information. And yet they're gonna try to impeach Biden because maybe Hunter Biden used whatever, and they're they're eighteen vote short in the House of actually
impeaching him, so it won't go any further. Even if they call a vote, it'll it won't go any further, and it'll never pass the Senate, and they'll never remove him with seventy nine days. They're just mad. This is who these people are. Well, you impeached our guys, so we're gonna impeach your Guyana. Their fucking schoolyard bullies, that's what they are. Well, you hit our guys, so we're gonna hit your guy. Not that they have a basis to do it. So Kamala is wiping out all of
that momentum they had for these things. People are seeing the GOP for the weird individuals that they are. They're seeing their They're seeing people show up at rallies with bottles that say jd Vance sperm. These people are weird. They're just weird. Trump is weird. Jd Vance is strange. And now that we have a same candidate and a really wonderful vice presidential candidate, we're now seeing even Republicans that were middle of the road are going you know,
these people are crazy. She's not crazy. Tim's not crazy. Hmm. Maybe we should gravitate towards and so they are. And I couldn't be happier about that. I think, you know, I hope, I hope she's going to win. We don't know. I hope that we're not going back is going to be an anthem, and not just because it would help me if it was an anthem, but because that is a sentiment that I really want see and that talks
about what I talked about in my first segment. We're not going back holding on to a Chase lounge that's twenty four years old and ripped to shreds just because Andrew bought it and it has sentimental value. That's going back. That's trying to wrap myself in the life that I had. But you know what, that life had its problems. I was never happy when I was at KFI and then KGO. I was never truly happy. And I know you're gonna
be like what, but I wasn't. I was worried every day about our jobs because we were gay and we were the only ones and we were like this experiment, and there was so much pressure on me, not on Andrew, because Andrew didn't deal with show stuff. I dealt with it all, took the calls, I did the pro you know. I Andrew gardened and cleaned and then went and did the show, and then went home and loved our dogs. I took the weight, and the weight was too much
for me. I got unhealthy, I gained weight. You know, I was not happy. Look when I was at KGO, I was taken oxy and weighed three hundred pounds. It's not a happy person. But KGO treated me like crap. Mickey Luckoff treated me so horribly. At KGO, I was treated They violated my civil rights a month from Sundays every week, and there was nothing I could do because I needed and wanted the job. And I just never thought of litigating civil rights against them because then no radio,
no other station would touch me. And so my past, while it was fabulous with Andrew, and yes, the visibility and the progress for gays and the notoriety, that was all great, but the price of all that was a lot. Our personal life suffered. Andrew and I fought all the time in the last couple of years of his life because I was under such stress, and I would take it out on him. Well, you don't know, you don't understand,
you know, And so it wasn't great. And so as I hold on to that past, well, the past was wonderful, but at the same time it could have been better. And so we're not going back. And I hope that this week, the excitement of the DSc spreads. I am Krell, b who you want to be? Fund to hurt you, buddyleads your comment staff below, Like and subscribe.
