We have lost a very important emotion. I'm going to tell you which one and why we could use some of it. Also, May is Mental Health Month.

It is the Crowdcast. I am Correll Happy. What is it Friday? Oh my god? So much has happened over the last few days that we have to talk about.
But you know, I just talked with my niece Heather up in Seattle, and I feel encouraged. You know, she's thirty nine. I can't believe she's almost forty, and she's trying to have a baby with her wife, and they're building a modular home on some property that they've gotten, and they're moving forward with life. You know, they're not letting this crazy world, this messed up world, impede their quest for happiness. And she's concentrating on
being happy locally, in other words, in her community. You know, she found a community that's good for LGBTQ people. She found a state that's a decent state to live in. And they're carving out their niche there and and that's really what we have to do these days. We can't, you know, the bigger picture is now so out of our control, Russia and Ukraine and Joe Biden being too old to run for president and all this other stuff. It's it's so maddening and so out of our control that we have
to refocus on what we can control. And what we can control is ourselves
and our own optimism or pessimism. We can we can make a choice in our day to day life whether to allow all the horror that is going on from climate change on down the line, to make us negative, make us feel poorly, make us depressed, as May is Mental health month, or we can focus on what we can change and what we can do, and that is local, that's in your heart, in your soul, in your home, and in your community, and we can start being happy for the
good that's left, you know, for the fact that there is still some good left in this world, and there is now. I said, we were going to talk about a human emotion that we need more of. And I was on the phone this morning with one of my friends and I said, you know, we used to have a saying yah to be embarrassed. Now, embarrassment means, let's see, I wrote down the definition of embarrassment, Okay, a feeling of self consciousness, shame, or awkwardness. Okay,
and we really need some shame. I think that we have lost shame, and shame is a good thing in some ways. Now, we always try to shame people for the wrong things. Okay. Throughout history, they've tried to shame people for being gay. They've tried to shame people for you know, unwed mothers or whatever that's wrong. We you know, we've always tried to shame the wrong people. Today's world could use a good dose of
shame, meaning embarrassment. For instance, CNN should be embarrassed and ashamed for putting a known a rapist, a person who has had now had a jury of his peers say that he sexually assaulted somebody, someone who's going to be indicted for seditious conspiracy, who we know tried to overturn a duly certified election, a traitor to the United States. They should be embarrassed for putting that
man on television, for letting him spew the lies that he spewed. I did not watch, but I know at by the media that he just did more of the same. The election was rigged and blah bah blah, bah blah, bah blah. I believe even called the female hostess a nasty woman, and she took it. You know, Donald Trump has no shame, or he wouldn't leave the fricking house. Okay, But CNN they should have some shame. They should be embarrassed for putting that creature on television. We
did not used to do that. Back in the day. Media would never interview a known rapist, a no own criminal up for indictment, whether he was running for president or not. They just simply wouldn't have put him on because they would have been embarrassed to do so. Now, hey, if he gets ratings, we have lost a sense of embarrassment about bad behavior and instead let people double down on their bad behavior. George, excuse me,
George Santos can't even say his name without choking. George Santos should be embarrassed, and the Republican Party should be completely embarrassed that someone in their ranks who was on the floor of the Congress and their party is up on thirteen federal counts for lying, cheating, stealing. He should have walked out with a shroud over his face and not said a word to the press. Instead, he walks up. He's just as defied. I'm going to stay in Congress.
I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. I'm going to fight these charges. He has no shame, no sense of embarrassment. You know, I was made to feel embarrassed about my mother because she was four foot nine and disabled. I was made to feel ashamed and embarrassed because I loved another man in high school. How how dare I? I was made to feel ashamed and embarrassed because I was poor, because I was fat.
I was made to feel shame by society because I was fat, because I was gay, because I was poor, none of the things that I should have been embarrassed about. I was made to feel that way by society. And now today, society does not make Donald Trump feels so embarrassed that he can't leave the house, does not make CNN feel so embarrassed for putting that man on that they would never think to do it again. You know, I made at outside of George Sanchos and Donald Trump, things in today's
world that we should be ashamed of. That we should be embarrassed by. We should be embarrassed by the fact we allow billionaires to exist in our economy while the masses suffer. We should be embarrassed by that. That should bring us great national shame. But we've lost it. We've lost a sense of shame, of guilt. We should be embarrassed that we look away from the homeless problem, that we complain about the home most problem and yet do nothing
about it. Rhanna ought to be embarrassed that she named her child Rza. She named her child, How do you even pronounce that rizza rza? He's a rapper or something, and so they named their kid rza. You should be embarrassed. Your kids got to go to school, Okay, your kid's gonna have to be out there with other kids who are mean, and you named him r za Z. I don't know how to pronounce it. Ought to be embarrassed. I'd love to hear from you at contact at really Correll

Here, on YouTube YouTube dot com, forward slash Really Correll, or my Patreon subscribers, you can I read the comments under those videos Patreon dot com, forward slash, Really Correll. What are some of the things you think we should be more embarrassed about that we should carry a sense of shame. There is food companies. The seven biggest food companies are making record profits while we struggle at
the grocery store and millions go hungry. We should be ashamed, should be embarrassed by that. It should bother us. The fact that we're letting the right pick on drag queens and make abortion illegue. How ashamed should we be that we are letting rich white men dictate what women do with their bodies. That is so shameful. That is you know, why do we not have a sense of guilt or shame about things that we are doing that are horrific?
I know why we've lost the ability. We totally have lost the ability. We have almost breaded out of ourselves shame and guilt. You know, I'm not saying those emotions are good, that they serve a purpose. They make you change. When you feel ashamed, you're guilty of something, you often change. It's time to change where we go. If you're not visiting Really correll dot com daily, you're missing out. Get the podcast videos and

You know, May's Mental Health Month and talk about shame and guilt and how it's all misplaced. We we we make people feel ashamed or guilty over stuff that they should feel zero shame or zero guilt about sexuality, unwanted pregnancies, whatever it might be,
and mental health and mental illness. We make people feel ashamed that they might have some sort of mental illness, that they might be in some way impaired in their brain. We make people feel depressed because they are depressed, you know, or was depressed, Oh bother e Or was depressed. But guess what, all of his friends invited him everywhere. They never told him to cheer up. They always had him along. They just let him be e or they just let him be a downer. That's a yor he's a
downer. They didn't make or feel bad because he was a downer. They didn't ostracize or and not invite him to play reindeer games because he was a downer. They included him in everything. They just figured out he's a downer. He'll get with the program sooner or later. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, And yet so many people are afraid to seek help, to say I need help, I need help getting through this. So many
of you are afraid to help yourselves get over mental illness. And I think we use that term too broadly because I think a lot of things that we talk about as mental illness are really natural states of being human, but ones that you need to work through. For instance, depression. Depression is completely and totally normal and natural. Everybody gets depressed and yes, for days or weeks, sometimes months. So what can you do if you're feeling overwhelmed?
What can you do if you're suffering from depression? Well, there's no quick fix and certainly not a pill. Okay, well, let me rephrase. Some mental illnesses do require medication. I just think medications for mental illnesses are overprescribed, like riddling for kids that they say have add No child should be given riddling. I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm just telling you I was not given riddling. I have ADHD. I don't think any kid should be medicated
into compliance. Okay, that's all we're doing there. We don't want to deal with their energy, we don't want to deal with their attention spans, so we medicate them. That's wrong. Okay, However, if you are depressed, if you are overwhelmed, and if you can't seem to shake it, maybe you need to make some changes. And that's so hard to do when you're in the depths of it, but so crucial. For instance, I exercise almost two hours a day, and you should too, because no
matter what you're both your physical and mental health will benefit. I'm not saying it cures you. Look at me, I'm a mess, but just at the mess i'd be if I didn't. For instance, this morning, I started with thirty minutes of yoga. You can do YouTube videos yoga. You can do the Apple Fitness Plus if you have an Apple Watch or an iPhone. You don't even need an Apple Watch now you can just if you have an iPhone, tons of fabulous yoga workouts with wonderful people are just waiting for
you. You don't have to pay and go to a class, YouTube, Apple Fitness Plus, Peloton, other ways. Start doing yoga. It's age old, it's ancient, it's an ancient art form. Start doing it. It does help your mind and body as you breathe and you stretch and you move. Maybe you're physically impaired like I am, and maybe you won't be able to do every single thing. That doesn't matter, Start doing it. Do it in a chair if you have to make that effort. Start eating
better. Are you feeling sad, You're feeling blue, You're feeling overwhelmed, You're feeling nervous, jittery, paranoid. Start eating better. You know there's a story at medium about how horrible we're eating. How percent of the people are still eating processed food, seventy not getting enough fruits or vegetables. That directly plays into your mental health. I know you don't think it does, but it does because there are nutrients and vitamins in that food, in leafy
vegetables, in fresh fruits, in beans and legoms. There are things in there that are actually going to nourish your brain and change your chemical levels naturally. So start exercising more, start eating better. Your mood will change. Get a dog or a cat, you know, nurture the caregiver in you. Step outside of yourself by volunteering to help homeless or help kids, or
whatever step outside of your brain. It makes your brain healthier. Your brain is an organ like your kidneys or your liver, and just because the thing where thought comes from doesn't mean that you can't treat it like a kidney or a liver. You can. There's no stigma in any kind of mental illness depression, schizophrenia, ADHD on down the line. There's no stigma or shame in that. There's no stigma or shame in stepping back saying you're overwhelmed.
I can't deal right now. I've got too much on my plate. There's no shame in saying my work life balance is out of balance and I need to spend more time on what's important to me, my family, my hobbies, taking a walk in the sunshine, something as stupid as taking a walk in the sunshine can change your mental health. It's proven. I'm not making this up. So in May for Mental Health Month, want you to start doing things that are better for you. I want you to eat better.
I want you to start exercising more and get outside, start walking on your lunches. Steve rides his bike to and front to work, and then he rides at home at lunchtime on beautiful days like today. Start getting out more, Get out in the sunshine, get out in the world. Start nurturing you your soul. Start feeding you, and not just good food, but good information, good podcast, good websites, good social media. Start feeding
yourself better ingredients to be a better person. Only then will your brain have a chance to process and sleep. I can't stress enough at least seven hours a night. Don't tell me you can't. Don't tell me your schedule won't allow it. Sleep. These simple things simple are things you can do to have better mental health. Sleep seven hours, eat better food, get outside
and exercise more. These are real things that doctors should be prescribing. I mean that before they ever give you a prescription medicine for a mental illness. Talk to friends. Be honest with yourself and with friends. When you're talking with someone, don't be afraid to say you're afraid. Don't be afraid to say you're unsure. Don't be afraid to be stupid. Talk to people in your life. Don't text them, call them, FaceTime them, Visit them.
And you want to know something, It can really help your mental health. Touch touch touch another person appropriately. Please touch a dog or a cat. Physical touch, warmth embraces actually raise chemical levels in your brain and change the way you think and learn to step away. Learn when you have to step back, whether it's from a relationship, from information, from the internet, from a job. Learn that your brain has limits, because it does.
When we start actually taking care of our brain like the organ that it is, like your heart, then mental health becomes manageable. Now again, there are many, many mental diseases that require doctors, some require surgery, some require medications, but so much can be done by you. Make your device a whole lot smarter.

past becomes cringeworthy. And I really want your participation on this. I really want you to post down below on YouTube where you're gonna like and subscribe. I really want you to post a song that you hear nowadays and you just cringe. You think, oh my god. Now you know when you watch the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and he's in blackface doing owing gubbo and gubble you're like, oh my god, this would just so bugs Bunny was so inappropriate
in so many situations. But music, I have a vast music library, not streaming my own music library. I have like three hundred gigabytes of music that I over the years digitized CDs and albums and things. And I've got a TV out in the living room now, which Andrew would probably approve of, and so I'm able to access Apple Music out there as well. And I have found so much better than streaming. I'm just playing my own music, and I hope you all do that too. You play your own music,
the music that you left, Okay, don't rely on streaming. Y'all have CDs, vinyl, digital MP three's from your first iPod whatever, revisit that music. But as I do, there's not a great artist to live that hasn't recorded a song that makes me cringe. Barbara streisand she just released an album in November of Live at the Bone Sis and that was a gay nightclub. It was gonna be her first album back in the day, but then they shelved it and they took her into the studio and she recorded all
those songs in the studio. There's a song on there called come to the Supermarket an Old Pea King, and you know, there's a line if you want a slave that's particularly African. I'm like, oh, oh my god, there's like ten of those lines in that song, come to the Supermarket and an Old Pea King. It's just cringeworthy, some of the lyrics. And this morning I heard Cartman's version because Cartman recorded in the Ghetto by Elvis
Presley. So they have Elvis's version playing and then Cartman sings along in the Ghetto and it's hysterical. It's from South Park, but it made me listen to the original Elvis Presley song in the ghetto. There is possibly no more of a racist song than in the you know. And his mama cried because if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little baby in mouth to feed in the ghetto. Oh my god. So first of all, you're saying, she's just swamped with kids, probably black. Hello, you
know. Then one night, in desperation, a young man slips away. He buys a gun, he steals a car, tries to run, but he doesn't get far, and his mama cries. So the black kid turns out to be a violent felon and dies in the street, and as he dies, another little baby child is born. That song is so like ten Ways from Wrong. I can't even tell you. I just listen to it and cringe. Barbara Streisand's finale from Funny Girl, which Leah Leah Michelle is
singing right now on Broadway probably tonight. My man. It costs me a lot, but there's one thing that I've got. It's my man. Like that's the be all prize for a woman right, cold and wet tied, you bet, But all that I soon forget. With my man. He's not much full looks and no hero out of books, but I love him. I don't know why I should. He beats me too, What can I do? That's the Billy Holliday version. He beats me too? What can I do? Oh? My man? I love him so he'll never
know. My life is just despair, but I don't care. So it's okay for her to be in despair, for her to be like an abused spouse, because when he chakes me in his arms, the world is bride all right. What's the difference if I say I'll go away when I know I'll come back on my knees one day. Every part of that lyric is wrong, okay, just wrong. And it didn't just stop and I mean Rod Stewart Tonight's tonight. You know, relax my virgin child. If you
watch the video, she's like sixteen years old. Oh, just let your inhibition runs wild. Jerry Lee Lewis has a song about dorking his cousin which he really did. Money for Nothing by Dire Straits says the faggot word about fifteen times. That little fagot is a millionaire. They even they did not include it on their Greatest Hits album, And yet it's the MTV song I Want My umtvs. Oh My God, illegal Immigrant or alien by Phil Collins's band There or whatever it was called, Oh my God, brown Sugar.
Ah. The Rolling Stones have even changed the lyrics now when they're out on tour because the lyrics to brown Sugar, Oh my God just about as racistness could be. I just heard a song from the fifties about the loose woman in town. She's the no no woman men go oh. So there are so many pop songs out there that when you listen to them now, even just ten or fifteen years later, you cringe. You think, oh my god, this could not be released today. This is just horrible, and
it's not wokeness. It's that these songs were really bad. You know, half of Billy Holiday's catalog is about a man beating her. Half the song she sings, ain't nobody's business. If I go to church on Sunday and then cabba ray on Monday, ain't nobody's business if I do. If my man ain't got no money, and I say, take all mine, honey, Ain't nobody's business if I do. And then the song she says, if he hits me, and then I still forgive him, it's my business.
I know, I won't call no Coppa if I'm beat up by my papa, ain't nobody's But that's a classic jazz era song. I won't call no copper if I'm beat up by my papa. Oh my god in heaven. So I know that. You know that there are cringeworthy songs when you hear them now you're like, oh, how do I ever liked this song? You know? So down below in the comments here on YouTube, I'd love to hear your cringe worthy song. A song when you hear it, you just think, oh, dear God, I should take this out of
my music library because this is just bad. I mean when I heard Come to the Supermarket and Old Peaking by Barbara, I thought, I can't leave this in my library. We've got there's Asian jokes in their Turning Japanese, which is really a song about masturbation. It is, that's what it's about. I think I'm turning japan nice because your eyes squint when you masturbate allegedly, um, but still a group of white guys, I think I'm turning
Japanese. I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so. Now no, no, just just no. So what songs are cringe worthy to you nowadays? What pop songs do you wonder? How did they ever get away with this? I am Correll be who you want to be? Song to hurt you, buddy, see Monday.
