Episode description

🌪️ We’re Not Ready for What’s Coming | Karel Cast Ep. 25-105
A volcano in Russia could trigger a tsunami. A rare derecho tears through the plains. After watching The Eye of the Storm, one thing is clear: we are completely unprepared for what Mother Nature is throwing at us — and it’s only getting worse.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, deadly heat waves… they’re increasing. But our readiness? Crumbling. Why aren’t we adapting? Why are insurance companies collapsing under the pressure of disasters we knew were coming?
Plus: a shocking new Gen Alpha survey (ages 12–15) shows we’re failing the future generation, too. From climate to culture — we are NOT ready.
🎙️ Uncensored. Unfiltered. Unhinged. It’s The Karel Cast.

Speaker 1

It is the crew Cast. I am Carrel so very glad you are joining me on this Whirlwind Cavalcade Wednesday, July thirtieth. We got a lot to talk about today, and I hope you'll join me in the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward slash really Carrel, you know. And I got got some interesting personal news at the end of the of the show today, so stick around for that.

So often my topics into what's going on in my personal life or something that I just you know, happened to be into at the moment, and then suddenly, bam, there's a topic now. I don't want to talk about Donald Trump today on the twenty five percent tariffs that he's putting on India, which you're gonna cost us more money, or the fifteen percent tariffs. I don't want to. I don't want to talk about that stuff today. I really don't. But what I do want to talk about is last

night I binge watched a show that I adore. It's called in the Eye of the Storm, and it's called it's on HBO Max, uh, and it is this really well produced show about tornadoes, blizzards, all kinds of you know, weather disasters or wildfires that sort of thing.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 1

And in watching it, I have to tell you Uh, it was surreal that I was watching it against the backdrop of a tsunami warning in California, and you know, Japan and Hawaii from an eight point eight magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia. This morning, a volcano on that same fault line in Russia is erupting. It's almost like goodbye Russia. So, you know, as I'm watching this show about dead Echo's, there's a great episode about a durecho on in the eye of the storm, something I

didn't even know what one was. It's basically a wall of wind from a thunderstorm that is on the ground instead of being up in the clouds, and it's hugely destructive. I mean one hundred and fifty mile an hour winds. It's hugely destructive. And there was one last night right here in the United States, in the Plain States, there was this good etcho. So it's amazing that up until a month ago, I didn't even know what one was.

And now not only do I know, and I've watched a show about one, but one just happened last night. And then of course there's a show about tornadoes and the increase in tornadoes, and there's one about a blizzard, Snowmageddon. It was called in Buffalo, New York, where they had a blizzard for two days a few years back, or three days. People died in their cars, people died in their homes. And so I'm watching this show in the eye of the storm, and I realize something that always

comes up when there's a natural disaster. Now this is relevant because you've got to remember, just yesterday, Donald Trump has decided to drop all the science that has to do with climate change and allow the legislation that has to do with climate change to be removed. So he doesn't the United States is not going to have any kind of climate policy under Donald Trump period. There's no

climate policy. He thinks climate change is myth, and he doesn't want any kind of legislation or anything getting in the way of business. So that's that, you know, That's that's the way that is. And so as we have this backdrop of an administration that is moving away from trying to mitigate climate change, we have the climate reminding us in full force. A heat dome over the eastern seaboard and the Midwest. We have a didechio over the planes. So as as this happens, we are not prepared, and

we are not preparing ourselves for the future. And I was watching these shows and wondering why in twenty twenty, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty five, why are we not ready for what only is coming, but what's already he You know, we've had since the dawn of mankind to

deal with the weather, and we don't. For instance, we don't in California, where there's tons of earthquakes, and there's going to be a big one all along the West coast where the Cascadia subduction zone, if it gives way, is going to literally move the entire West coast up or down by feet in under two minutes, and we'll be devastating. And is going to happen. That's the one thing on this show that they all say, you never

think it's gonna happen to you, and then it does. So, as Russia is reminding us this morning, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen. Yosemite is a super volcano waiting to kill us all, and it really is. And so you have to wonder why, if you have a home in a place where there's hurricanes, is your house not hurricane proof. Why if you have a home where there's tornadoes or dead echos, is your home not built to withstand that and minimally? Why don't you have some sort of shelter

that will protect you from it. Some people have basements, some people don't. If you live in a region where there's snow like Buffalo, why aren't there roads that are able to handle it, that melt the snow. Why aren't there cars being sold that could withstand being stuck for twenty four or forty eight hours. I watched a woman in real time because they have the footage where she fell asleep in her car with it running because she couldn't go anywhere in the blizzard, and her tailpipe solidified

the snow her exhaust. Heated exhaust solidified the snow around her tailpipe like an ice block, and it killed her. Why Why aren't cars smarter than that? Why don't cars have a CO two sensor to where if there's too much CO two build up inside the car, it shuts off the car. So I was watching these shows thinking to myself, we have done nothing in twoenty and twenty five years of modern human existence. We've done nothing to survive the very one thing that we've had to deal

with this entire time, the weather. Nothing here in Nevada. We are not building homes that are going to be able to withstand the heat. We are not building roadways that reflect the sun, that absorb the sun instead of you know, when I say absorbed, I mean as energy, solar roads, sidewalks. We're not doing any of that. In fact, very few people are doing anything to prepare themselves for the weather, and businesses certainly aren't, and airports certainly aren't

and certainly aren't, and cars certainly aren't. And we're not doing it on our roads. And so a weather storm comes along and grounds us, ruins economies, kills people. Why why is it such a low priority to make us ready for a natural disaster? In California, most people don't even have an emergency kit. Now. They need an earthquake kit and a fire kit, but they don't have it. Do you? How many of you right now have at least three days of food, three days of water, three

days of pet food. You're supposed to have seven So how many of you right now have seven days of medication, seven days of food, seven days of everything? You would need? Money, cash, money because ATMs are going to go down. How many raise your hands? How many of you? Very few hands are up. If you're telling the truth of you have what you would need to survive and I mean really survive in a crisis that lasts longer than twelve hours. Why not? Why not? I I know the end, I

actually know the E and I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you. And then next second we're going to talk about a survey which make me pride, which means our future is doomed. Anyway, if we're talking about kid be in our future, we're doomed. Want to support the Corell cast, then like and subscribe the YouTube videos at the really Corel channel.

Speaker 1

You know, northern California is having a mild and wet summer and there are those that think that's not climate change. Oh look climate changes. Yes it is climate change. But your little brains are just too dense to accept that. And that's the kind of thinking that makes us not prepared. By the way, Sandy, I agree, a giant jar a jar of peanut butter. How many of you have a giant jar of peanut butter in your car? I do? Why? In case I'm ever trapped somewhere with ember, we could

live on that for a couple of days. It's got protein, carbohydrates. It's a pretty perfect food, peanut butter and honey, and you could survive for a long time as long as you have water. So as all these disasters are unfolding around us, why aren't we prepared? And the truth is denial. We're in denial. Most of us do not believe we will ever be in an emergent situation caused by climate or earthquake, fire, flood, dead echo, you know whatever. We don't.

We just don't. We just don't believe it's ever gonna happen. That's the first thing, denial, complacency. We have no leadership, states, cities. They're not demanding that anything built be built to withstand the change in the climate. In Florida, hurricanes knock houses down, they build them exactly the same way that you can build a hurricane proof house. You can, but in places like Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, it's not required that you do it. Oh well, it costs more money and blood of blah

blah blood. And that's it being prepared and shaping our future, shaping our future cities. You know, here in Vegas they should be building only covered things. They're spending millions of dollars to build four baseball diamonds right here by my house, and they're not covered, so they're going to be useless. Who's gonna play in one hundred and twenty degrees it's they're gonna be. They're wasting their money. They're not going to be used. In Florida, they're building houses right now

that will not withstand the heat and hurricanes. In California, they're not building homes that will withstand earthquakes and fires. Oh, they meet the regulations. The regulations are stupid. When an area like Pacific Palisades can just go up the entire alta dina and the entire place just burned down, that's

bad building. We won't acknowledge that we can't inhabit every place that we want to that we can't build homes because it's so pretty in the canyons or whatever that we can't live there, because if we do, we're and and if we're if we're going to if you're going to build in Malibu, if you're going to build in places, then you have to build a certain way. We don't put any rules or restrictions. Why because preparing for the world that's coming is not making companies money right now.

And the only way that companies will let us actually do anything that progresses us is if they're making money. And so we need to redesign all of our cities. Every city in America needs to be redesigned. All of our infrastructure needs to be redesigned to deal with the climate that's here now and the disasters that are coming. But we won't do it. Back to are you know,

are you prepared well? And I know in the chat room they're saying, if you think regulations are bad, then go to a country where you live next to open sewer. I agree, everyone's like, oh, we have too many regulations. Go to countries that don't, you know, try to touch the water, try to go to a river. You know, in India, you can't swim in any of their water. It's all filled with feces. I mean, come on, regulations are not a bad thing. I am plexion. I have

some cash and lots of canned food. Also, get the non perishables now before the price goes up. I agree. Bill Wattenberg taught me on his show way back in the day. At least he did one good thing, that old angry man. Don't forget bears. Those critters are dangerous. They can be Absolutely we aren't supposed to live in hazardous areas, but it still happens. I agree. I fully agree with my good friend James in the chat room. We're not supposed to build in certain areas, but we do,

and that's stupid. We are a stupid race, you know. I just I have to say it out loud. We are a stupid race. We do not, in any way, shape or form, want to live. Obviously, humans do not wish to survive. We are destroying the planet with impunity. But all we're doing is destroying our ability to live on it. The rock is still going to be here. I don't mean the actor, although he might, you know that the planet's still going to spin around the sun. Thirty one and a half inches off its axis. Did

you hear about this? The Earth is now tilted thirty one point two inches off its axis? Why? Because we keep pumping groundwater out of the ground with impunity and it has literally changed our axis. That's bad. We've actually lost a second. So next year they're taking a second out of the year because our Earth has shifted almost three feet. That's a fair amount for a planet to shift. Are we doing anything to either write it back or

to stop it further? No, we're pumping more groundwater, not less. As a species, we act like we just don't want to survive. So leave your comment down below. Are you prepared? Are you prepared for a disaster? You know? Are you? Are you prepared? Do you have a week's worth of food, pet, food, medications, an emergency kit, medical supplies you know in a disaster, pain meds and antibiotics. Come on? Do you have currency? Do you have cash? Perhaps a gold coin or two?

Do you have anything at all? And if not, why not because you don't think you're gonna need it, because you think the government's gonna be there to help you, not Trump, FEMA is on its way out. There's not gonna be anybody to help you? Is your house gonna withstand? Right now? I thought about my condo. I thought, well, this wouldn't withstand anything. Las Vegas doesn't have hurricanes, tornadoes and doesn't really feel earthquakes, but it has heat, and

this house isn't made for the heat. Really, all right, I we gotta move on because I only have a half hour show. But I saw a survey today of Jen Alpha. Now Jen Alpha, you might wonder who are Jen Alpha. Jen Alpha are people that are twelve to fifteen years of age. Okay, that's that's who Jen Alpha is. And Jen Alpha was asked, what do you want to do when you grow up? That's not a difficult question. Now. Back in our generation, we would say things like doctor, lawyer,

you know, fireman, astronaut, that sort of stuff. What do you think the Jen Alpha said that they want to be the top ten things that they want to be. I'm going to give you those things, and it's going to make you realize that we're doomed, that we might as well just use it up and wear it out now, because if our hands are falling into these kids, we're done. All right, that'll be next And I want to see down below at YouTube dot com Forward slash REALLYE Carrell?

Are you prepared? What do you have for an emergency? Now, you don't have to be full on prepper and you know have a bunker and all of that, but you should have something and not just at your home. So many people get caught in their car. Do you have anything in your car that would help you in an emergency at all? What if you have your pet in your car with you and you get in an emergency, a water emergency, no fire. Are you prepared? Hey Correll here and I'd like to take a moment to thank

Speaker 3

Believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way, Show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sent surf pride to make it easier. Let the children's leave after remind us how we you to be well?

Speaker 1

If you believe the children are the future, you're screwed. They interviewed Jen Alpha. This is twelve to fifteen year olds about what they wanted to be when they grow up. Now, two of you in the chat room, Sandy and James Schnabel already guessed the number one, but I'm going to go from number ten to number one. Number ten, two four, six. Yes, number ten to number one. So number ten on the what do you want to be when you grow up? It's a teacher. That's a little bit encouraging. At least

it made the top ten. It used to be in the top three, but at least it made the top ten. A teacher. Number nine a musician, And they don't mean they I read the interview. They mean a famous musician, someone who tours and gets paid and makes a living. Little do they know, And as a voting member of Grammy, I will tell you only five percent of all musicians can make a living at it. I'm very blessed to be one of the five percent of entertainers that can

make a living at it. Although with my Patreon going down and not up, well, we'll talk about that in a minute. Number seven online streamer. Whatever that means, and how you monetize that, what talent you need for that doesn't say, but online streamer? So making a living being famous for fame's sake. Number six a successful sports athlete. That's not going to happen. It's not one percent of athletes will be able to make a living at it. Number five a successful artist, and again they mean Beyonce

Taylor Swift. That's what they mean there. Number four entrepreneur. What does that mean? A kid twelve to fifteen doesn't even know what an entrepreneur is. They just know that they see people online that say they're entrepreneurs, and they're all I want to be that. They don't know what an entrepreneur is. Someone that starts multiple businesses, has multiple revenue streams. They don't know that. Okay, number four is

an app or video game developer. Okay, I can see in modern times that takes some degree of you know, uh learning. You have to know how to code, you have to you know. So, Okay, that's a technical thing, and that's I can see that. Number three a doctor or nurse. That was encouraging that. The third thing is doctor or nurse. That's encouraging. Number two tick talk creator,

like that's a thing. Again, only one percent of people that use social media make enough money at it to survive, and none of them, none have survived longer than ten years.

So it's a very limited window of success. And the number one thing by twelve percent, thirty two percent say they want to be a YouTuber, TikTok creators down at twenty one, nurse, doctors at twenty but thirty two percent the number one answer They want to be a YouTuber, so they want to stand in front of a camera and do something if they don't care what so long as it makes money on YouTube. This shows and signifies

how horrible cell phones are. I really wish an EMP would take out all our cell phones because this shows these kids are twelve to fifteen. They have grown up with a phone in their hand and they think their future lies in their phone. Out of ten things, look at the answers that relate to their phone. YouTuber, TikTok, creator, entrepreneur, online streamer, four out of ten or two out of five. Almost half deal with the phone. They want to have a career tied to their phone. Only how many of

these careers are not involving a phone? Doctor, app developer, sports athlete, musician, teacher five five have nothing to do with the phone. The other five have something to do with the phone. We are doomed. We're doomed. That's pretty much it. We're doomed, you know, And I agree with profit Bradley. I don't know who profit Bradley is, butfit Bradley in my chat room says worship is not entertainment, and I agree, these people online are and it's fake.

Someone with two million followers, Oh, I'm beloved by millions. No, you're not. Ask them for five dollars. They're better yet ask them to come help you move?

Speaker 3

You know.

Speaker 1

Emily Sonde one of my favorite artists of all time. She has a song that says, I went on the Internet and got myself a thousand friends, but none of them ever seemed to call hello. Yes, we're doomed. Thirty two percent of kids twelve to fifteenumber one answer they want to be a YouTuber. Their second answer a TikTok creator. And do you know what isn't in the top ten? A farmer? A farmer? So where do these kids think food comes from? Where does anybody think food comes from?

If no one wants to go into farming, how are we going to eat? And we are not encouraging anybody to go into farming, no one, Our schools aren't encouraging it. Nobody. Oh it's tech tech tech tech. People will starve without food, and tech ain't going to grow food. Robots are not anywhere near able to grow food yet, so out of the top ten things that kids want to be. Not one is a farmer, a laborer, a plumber, an electrician, a fireman. All right, before we go, I hope I

have time. Do I have time? I've been beating myself up a lot recently, and I just want to tell you I've stopped, and let me tell you why. I realize that I've been correl for a very long time, and I've been very successful, had people line up to see me, been friends with celebrities, done things that most people will never get a chance to do. I, at sixty two years old, no longer need to hustle. I just need to live my life and enjoy every day.

That doesn't mean quit. In fact, I think my shows and my stage shows and my music will get better if my sole thing every day is worrying about how to have a good life and not about the hustle of entertainment. And to that end, my Patreon is going down. It's now at eight ninety two. It needs to be above nine hundred. So if enough of you don't care, if enough of you don't want what I I'm selling, if you don't want to become a patron at patreon

dot com, forward slash YouTube. I'm sorry, Patreon dot com forward slash. Really, Carrell, I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm not gonna stay up at night worrying about it. If it gets too low, I'll stop the show. If it gets down to like two hundred or one hundred bucks, I'm out. I am thrilled. You who you want to be? I want to hurt you, buddy. We're nowhere near that point yet. I'm just saying I'm not going to stress anymore.
