OSCARS HATE BARBIE; About last night; MedMen and Pot Losses Karel Cast 24-11

Last night, I saw a great show and realized most people want to die. Why? Because they think they are immune to, well, everything. Also, Trump and New Hampshire and why making him the nominee is a great thing.

Oscars didn't nominate the director of star of the film Barbie, but DID nominate the male supporting actor, thus proving the entire point of the movie. Why can't women get a break?
And MedMen went from $1.2b valuation to zero, literally zero. Why is pot not making the money they thought it would? Oh, that's easy.

Transcript

You know, it seems women just can't get a break these days. I'm going to tell you how that relates to the oscars also medmen, and why pot isn't making the money everyone thought it would. And I got to talk to you all about last night. It was something child. I got stories today, uncensored, unfiltered, fun hinged. It's lu Kuel Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service. It is the crowd Cast. I am Correll, Happy Wednesday to you. So yesterday West New Hampshire primary, and

as I said, Trump, Donald Trump is gonna win. But I've been reading a whole lot of editorials about how his winning is actually losing. Is a losing strategy for Republicans. And let me tell you why. It appears that independence and independent Republican voters, Republican voters that are sort of in the middle or on the fence about things and such, it appears that they don't

want Donald Trump. They're tired of his mess, they're tired of all of it, and they're voting for Nicki Haley in record numbers, like forty five percent of independent voters in New Hampshire voted for Nicki Haley. So what people are saying, is you know, if Donald Trump continues on and is the Republican nominee, he will lose to Biden because middle of the road Republicans are just not going to vote for him. Is that true? Will it,

you know, actually happen? I don't know, But we can hope, you know, we can hope that them nominating this man will be there undoing as a party. I mean, that's we can hope, right, And so we'll see. So I didn't pay attention to anything going on there because we know he's going to sweep the primaries. It's a cult. He's got a lot of people in the cult, and we know that, you know, he's but that doesn't mean he's going to win the general election, nor

does it mean that he can win the general election. And the way it's going going with the middle of the road voters, it just appears that, you know, maybe that just maybe people have had enough of his crap. And when I say people, I don't mean liberals or progressives, obviously we had it from day one. I'm meaning people that formally supported him, people with a brain, people in the middle of the road. So we'll see,

we'll see. But a lot of people are saying that if the Republicans want a chance in the general they should probably nominate someone other than Trump. But they're not going to, so we'll see what happens there. Now, I want to tell you a little bit about last night. I had a great time. I went to the Myrons at the Smith Center here in Las

Vegas. I saw my friend Thea Austin perform as part of the first Ladies of Disco, which is Martha Wash Linda Clifford, Norma Jean from chic just tons and tons and tons of hits from the seventies, eighties, nineties and now they had a special guest from A Taste of Honey, Get Down Bugeg and she was fabulous with her bass and Anita Ward you can ring my bell. What was most fun for me was Marcia Warfield, the comic Marshall Warfield from Night Court and now from nine to one one, and of course you

know, comedy clubs everywhere. She'd gone away for a while, but now she's back at sixty eight years old, and she was so funny talking about aging. I gotta tell you her, she was. They were so relatable. She's like, you know, now I'm at the age where I got to negotiate with body parts like okay, nies, are you gonna hold me up today? And sometimes a niece say fuck noh. So she was very, very funny, but more importantly I got to sit right behind her at

a table and we talked during the show. She said the nicest thing afterwards. Of course I sing. I know every song and I sing, and she said the nicest thing afterwards, which was you saying your ass off child. She's like, you need to be up there, and that was such a nice thing for her to say. She also knew a Sylvester line from Sylvester's Life and More album, but not many people know because I was like, you know, they don't need this hair, and she's all, they

don't need these jewelries. I thought, oh, you do not know that line, but she did, and she knew Kgo because she's from the Bay Area. It was it was just fun sitting next to Marsha Warfield and Steve Cabral who went, and Thea's friend Ka who was there, so it was great fun. And then Yvonne and d w and their friends Craig and Sergio to gay gentlemen from Los Angeles that I met, So it's a really fun night. I went in a mask. Okay, COVID is at an all

time high. RSVN flew all time high. So I went in a mask. Now, the venue, the Myrons, holds about two hundred, two hundred and fifty people. I was the only person, the only person in a mask. And as the audience said, because Linda Clifford, she's seventy five, and she made no bones about telling everybody. And then Martha Washington will send someone's tilling their age. I'm seventy and she goes, I'm pissed

off. I gotta tell you all that. And you know, Martha singing her hits from you know, carry on it's raining men, you know, just hit after hit. Martha Wash has had so many dance hits, and Linda Clifford so many Runaway Love. Oh if they could see me now, that old gang of mine, just so many hits. Red Lie, You're hidden full Red Lie. I love Linda Clifford, I love all of her hits. And Norman Jean, you know she good times these uh the ah

freak out. I mean we had a night, honey, But I was the only person wearing a mask, and I was not the only person over sixty years old there. And I'm wondering to myself, what the hell is going on? You know what I mean? Are they not reading the papers? Do they not know that COVID RSV flu is had an alt I'm high that a thousand people a day are still dying of it that long. COVID is still a real thing that you don't want, and we don't know how

to prevent it. I'm like, what is going on? And so I you know, they looked at me like I was the freak, and that's the truth. I was looked at by people there like, you know, why is he wearing a mask? Because I want to A protect you guys? Should I already be infected by something? And B I don't want to get anything unnecessarily? I thought, what's wrong with people? So then so bridget babysat for me for Ember? Because Ember has never been left alone.

I know that freaks people out. They're like, never never her whole life, she's never been left alone once. There's always been a sitter or a human wither or she's gone with me. She's never been left alone. So I had a sitter last night Bridget who kindly sat with her. And then I get home and Ember tells me off, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

whoa whoa? Who were were We're Oh? She tells me off, uh, And so I came home to grab her because Bridget, you know, couldn't stay till late late, and they wanted to go out afterwards after a show, and the Golden Nugget was the place to go because our friends Yvon and dw had their two kids there and their kids for eleven months and three years old, and so the parents look tired, and they weren't in mass

and the kids weren't in masks. So then I grab Ember and I go back to the Golden Nugget, not wanting to go, not wanting to go to a casino. And I had never been to the Golden Nugget. It's on Fremont Street, one of the oldest hotels. And I go in and it is packed. I don't know why, maybe because it's cheap there, I don't know, packed Tuesday night packed. How many people do you suppose in this pat casino were in mask? How many? One? Me? And that was it? And you know, I just I was flabbergasted by

that. I mean literally through a crowd so thick I couldn't get Embers stroller through. I mean, that's how many people were there. And nobody in a mask. Eleven thirty at night. You know they're drinking, they're doing drugs of all kinds, whatever, it's Vegas, and none of them wearing masks. People coughing, people sneezing. I thought, you know what what is wrong with people? And I know what it is. It's that people feel they are immune to adversity. They really do. People think COVID is

for everybody else. They think the flu and the and the cold is for everybody else. They think if they get it, they're not gonna get long covid. They just don't think that bad things. Humans really have a problem with believing bad things can, will, and do happen to them. It's why we don't take global warming seriously. People just think we're gonna figure it out, or I'll be okay in it or whatever. We think we are immune to like everything, to all harm, and we are not. We

are very fragile beings. We can be taken down by a bacteria that you can't even see the size of something you can't even see can take you down. A blood cloth, the size of a almost I mean, not even a pee can take you out. You know, we're not these impervious creatures that are just immune to everything, and yet we behave like we are. We we go driving around in cars and things like, oh, I'm not going to get an a wreck, nothing bad is ever gonna happen to me.

That's thirty thousand, thirty five thousand new people die on the roads, and we don't fix the roads because again, we don't think that it's going to happen to us, so there's no urgency to fix the roads to make travel safer. Humans have a death wish because they really believe that they're immune to adversity. We ain't. We are not, Oh Lord, coming up next to the aftors hate women, But then again, it seems like so does everybody else. We are going to talk about that, and it's funny

actually broadcasting from a completely different point of view. Yours listen daily to the Corell Cast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to the Corell Cast driving you home or driving you crazy. The oscars obviously hate women. They do the Oscar voters. They obviously hate women because historically they have not been kind to women in any of the categories, particularly Best Director. Barbara Streissen you know, has been snubbed. A lot of very famous women directors have been

snubbed while their movies have been recognized. And it's so funny this year how it played out, because Barbie. If you have not seen the movie, you should. It's very entertaining. Barbie, directed by a woman, Greta

Gerwig, and starring Margot Robbie and executive produced by Margot Robbie. Barbie is a story about how women can't really get validated unless there's a man around, and that Barbie, the strong woman of the movie, doesn't need Ken to feel validated, doesn't need Ken to get things done, that she and the other Barbie's are perfectly capable of solving problems on their own. In fact, sometimes men create more problems for the women than they know, than they're good

for. And so the fact that Oscar nominated Ryan Gosling Okay, who is gorgeous and is fabulous in the movie, is Ken. But is it an Oscar worthy performance. No, it is not. But the fact that he is nominated out of the film, but Greta Gerwig is not nominated for directing, and Margot Robbie is not nominated for being the lead. But Ryan Gosling, the kind of undeserving male star, is nominated. Exactly proves the point of the movie that women are just never good enough. They just no matter

what they do, they just can't seem to please. They have all of these unrealistic standards placed on them. You know, be thin, but don't be too thin, or you'll be anorexic. You know, have a job, but don't be too ambitious or you'll just be this, you know, overachieving bitch. You know America Ferrara, who is nominated and nominated really for one speech in the movie where she outlines the problem with being a woman.

It is exemplified in them nominating Ryan Gosling and not Margot Robbie and not Greta Gerwig. But they always have been that way. And you know, the more we look at it, women are fifty percent of the world's population, you have got to wonder why we continue to treat them like shit, Why they continue to let us in America, why are we you know, we treat women so horribly in this country. First of all, we let white rich men make laws about the medical procedures that women can and cannot have.

That is possibly the most egregious thing. We literally have told women throughout their whole lives and throughout history, how many children they can have, when they can and can have them, how they can have them, if they can get birth control or not. Men control their salaries, control what they I mean, control almost everything about them. No matter how far women try to make achievements, it always goes back to a man screwing it up for them.

And you gotta wonder why I talked about Taylor Swift the other day and why men are so threatened by her? Why are men, particularly straight men, so threatened by women when they claim to love them. Straight men who are the ones making all of these rules and the ones oppressing gay men? Do not oppress women. I know you think we do, but we do not. Oh, we may not get along with all of them or whatever. We might criticize them, you see her dress, whatever, but we

don't hate them. We don't legislate against them, we don't want them to not succeed, and we certainly wouldn't tell them when they could and could not have a baby because they might be having a little gay baby. But straight men, straight men don't love women. They say they do. Oh, they say women are sacred. They're the life givers, they're the wives, they're the this or the that. We love women. They talk out on one side of their mouth about how they love women, and then on the

other side they oppress them. That ain't love. You don't love women if you don't pay them equally for the same job. You don't respect women if you don't pay them equally. Hollywood, Corporate America, you can't say we respect women, but we're gonna pay that one less. And you have to wonder why what did women ever do to men to make men so afraid of them. You have these inceels out there screaming that it's women. It's the reason they can't get laid, not the fact that they're ugly, hideous,

asexual blobs of creatures. No, No, it's got to be the woman's fault. Everything's always the woman's fault. It's her fault. She's pregnant. Don't let her take care of it. It's her fault, she's pregnant, not the guy that stuck his dicking her and you know all that no that you know ain't his fault at all. It's her fault if a woman gets raped. Even to this day, we still after twenty five years of Law

and Order SVU being on the air, we still blame the victim. Look at that American nightmare that is on Netflix right now about a man and a woman that got tied up and then the woman got kidnapped, and when they finally went to the police, the police said that it was either the boyfriend that did it or that they were both lying about it. And guess what, she really was kidnapped, She really was sexually molested. But it took years for her to be vindicated. Why because male cops didn't believe her.

And that's happened with police forever. They don't believe gays or women. They discourage gays or women from filing charges. The whole world acts like women are to be revered and loved and then treats them like craft. And the bigger thing is why do women take it? You know, gays have to take it because we're only ten percent or less of the population. Women are fifty percent. They could close their legs and say None of you guys are getting

anything until we get treated better. I do not understand why women put up with men. I don't you don't need them, They're just sperm donors. You can you know you don't need them. Female elephants run the show. The males are thrown out of the pack until they need them. Why, women, I'd love to hear from you. Why do you take it? For years on end? Up until nineteen seventy, a woman in print or

on TV couldn't even be referred to by her own name. She was missus Bob Smith, missus Jack Johnson. She didn't even have any kind of identity outside of her husband. Why women, why do you continue to let this happen? You outnumber men, and you're not the weaker sex. I know many a women that can kick a man's ass. Why are and men?

Why are you so afraid of women? Why are you so afraid that you have to subjugate them, pay them less, keep them, keep them downtrodden, you know, tell them, still control what medical decisions they can make. Why do you Why do straight men hate women so much? You would think Taylor Swift would excite straight men. She's young, she's beautiful, she's rich, she's talented. You would think straight men would adore her. Oh

my god, they're threatened by her? And why are men so insecure and so fragile that they are threatened by women or by the success of women? Just like Gaze? Why are straight people so enamored with the gaze? Why are they so afraid of the gaze? Why do they feel they need to legislate against them and keep them lesser than What is it about white straight people men in particular, they don't like women, they don't like gaze? Is it that they hate themselves? You know, I don't get it. I'm

not a white straight guy. I don't understand it. I don't understand. And how you could look at any employee and say I can pay you less because of your gender? What I mean? What is that about? And how can Academy voters say, oh, yeah, Ryan Gosling was great, Oh yeah, America Ferrera was great, but Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were not. You know, how is that possible? Like when they nominated Yentel

for Best Picture but didn't nominate Barbara Streisand for Best Director? Why that It's just indicative of a larger problem in society, which is women just can't get a break, and I want to know why, so I'd love to hear your comments down below. I know why. It's because they really don't demand it, and the ones that do demand it are seen like Gloria Steinem or whatever. They say ball breakers. Maybe your balls need to be broken. I mean, truly, why on earth would a gender like men that claims

to love women treat them so oh poorly. I've never understood that. I've not that they beat women. They bully women, Well, they've beaten bully anybody they can, and that's just it. I think they do it simply because they can do it. Women. You really need a revolution where you take over, you know, you really do. You really need to get every woman to show up to vote. You need to get every woman to start speaking up for themselves because it appears white great men don't really like you

and even some women. We're not visiting really corell dot com daily, you're missing out. Get the podcast, videos and the blog including recipes at Reallycorrell dot com.

You're listening to the Corelle Cast driving you home or driving you crazy. We're in the money, We're in the money. We've got

a lot of what it takes to get along. You know. That's what states were singing, and so many people were singing when pot finally became legal in various states. They just thought, oh, Kurtchain, Kurchain, those potheads are gonna make us rich. In California, they thought it would be a ten to twenty billion dollar economy. It's not. It's five billion, which is still substantial, but it's not the ten or twenty that they thought.

And men, which was the darling of dispensaries, it was like supposed to be like the Apple Store, and you went in and looked like the Apple store. You know, they were valued at one point two billion dollars and as of yesterday their stock is literally worth zero. You can go and look at it zero. So they went from being worth one point two billion dollars down to zero. Now why why? Because we know what the pot economy is. We know that it's much more than five billion dollars a year

in California. So why aren't pot dispensaries making the money they thought they would and why do a majority of cannabis users still use the quote black market? Well you have to look at Uruguay for that answer, Okay, Uruguay, Montevideo. They became the first country in Latin America to legalize cannabis. And when they did, the president actually set a price, a national price for an ounce of cannabis and said this is the price. This is how much

you will pay, and that's that. And the price was remarkably low, and everyone's like, why is the price so low? And the price was so low because the president said, I don't want there to be a black market. If I say that cannabis is twenty five dollars an ounce, then that's that. You know, there can't be a black market because you're not going to find it cheaper. And so they made cannabis twenty five dollars an ounce in Uruguay or some ridiculously low price. I believe it was twenty five

dollars. I'd have to look it up. And subsequently, all of their pot is bought well majority of their pot is bought legally in Uruguay here in America no, and I will tell you why, because dispensaries and states got fucking greedy. Okay, they're greedy as hell right now. A lot of you don't go to dispensaries. You don't know the prices. I will tell you right now. Can you get an ounce for like one hundred dollars one hundred fifty dollars, Yes, you can. It's crap weed. We just

call it dirt weed. If you want the good stuff, it's from two fifty to five hundred dollars an ounce. Still, and then in most states like California, for every one hundred dollars you spend. If you're not a medical patient, which I am, but that brings problems. For instance, here in Nevada, if you have a medical pot card, you cannot carry a firearm. Period. Oh, if you take opiates you can, if you'd have any prescription from a doctor, xanax, whatever, Sure, you

can have a concealed carry. You can carry a gun, but if you have a pot card you can't. So if you just go straight recreational use and not medical use, the tax in most states is from twenty to twenty five percent, So for every hundred use you gotta pay twenty five in taxes. So let's say you buy a two hundred dollars ounce, that tune of ounce is now two hundred and fifty dollars. And that's why they're failing. It's not that people don't want their product, and in droves, people want

their product. If that people can get that product elsewhere because states did a money grab. They said, well, if we're going to legalize pot, we're gonna punish the people that smoke it by charging them enormous amounts of taxes and fees. And guess what the people said, We'll screw you. I'll just get it from my dealer. Still, and so places like Medmen and Medmen was the worst. Oh my god, they were so expensive at eighth was like sixty bucks, seventy bucks, you know, and that's I mean,

that's just ridiculous. So that's why they're not they're going bankrupt. Why Medmen is now at zero dollars on the stock market, and why the pot industry in California, which they said would be a twenty billion dollar year industry is only five because you got greedy, because you think just because people smoke pot, they should be penalized and have to pay much more taxes than someone

that says takes opiates or drinks alcohol. There is not nearly the tax on alcohol, a far more destructive drug than cannabis, that there is on cannabis. Why because they look at cannabis users as drug users still, and they say, look, you want to do it legally, you're gonna have to pay. And drug users are like, well, no, we don't screw

you. I will keep my old dealer where I get an anounced the pot good pot for one hundred hundred fifty bucks, and I don't have to pay any tax because even if your dealer is selling you announced for two hundred bucks, that's it out the door. The dealer doesn't collect tax Afya. Only

a dispensary does, and dispensaries have gotten extraordinarily greedy. Look, I will go downtown to buy my edibles because down there they give me three bags of edibles for thirty bucks because of all my discounts, and because I'm medical, I only pay eight percent tax. But edibles are now up to like twenty five dollars a bag for ten or two point fifty an edible. You can make edibles out of discarded pot or out of an ounce of pot, you

can make many more edibles than you could buy for it. So they're way overcharging on everything and people aren't going for it. And that's why the legal pot industry is not making the money. Oh it's making money, but it's not making the money that everybody thought it would because state got greedy, and because dispensaries got greedy, and people like the people that run medmen got greedy and said, oh, well, make it a nice environment for them,

and they won't mind paying all that money. Honey pot people would rather go through a back alley to save money because I have I mean, how many of y'all have bought pot in places that you just should not have been Raise your hand from people that you've never seen before, raised your hand handing people money getting pott? Oh god, yeah. Now, a reputable dealer is a great thing to have. And I had one for decades in California. She was a lovely little lesbian, you know, and she was a fabulous

dealer. Once you find a dealer, you stick with them. And then Andrew grew it. And so one plant, one plant, okay that Andrew grew gave us almost a pound of pot one plant. He grew five. We literally had like six. We had a thirty gallon garbage bag half full of pot. It lasted us a year, you know. I mean, and it's free to grow it. You can just grow it five plan. You can grow it at home. That's the other thing. People are like, I'm not gonna give these dispensaries all that money. I'll just grow it

at home. You know, Greed is killing everything. Greed is killing everything. It's killing the pod industry. You're feeling great at the grocery store. Everyone's like, we need to make groceries cheaper. No corporations need to cut their profit margin. I am corel Be who you want to be, so on to hurt your body. I'll be back on Friday.
