Haley Karenia
Hello and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Karenia and happy Wednesday. It's Wednesday, so you know what that means. The Bongino Boys are going to go to Trivia tonight and I am one of the Bongino Boys, honorary member of the Bungee Noise.
- [00:14]
Andrew
We roll real deep.
- [00:16]
Haley Karenia
We roll deep at Trivia. We've been going on Tuesday nights, but this week we were convinced or Andrew convinced everyone to be on his schedule. For whatever reason, Andrew didn't want to go to Trivia. You know, yesterday. Why was that?
- [00:30]
Andrew
I mentally committed to making steak and fries with my wife.
- [00:34]
Haley Karenia
Okay.
- [00:35]
Andrew
And so, yeah, so the truth comes out.
- [00:37]
Haley Karenia
Okay, that's fine.
- [00:39]
Andrew
Was delicious.
- [00:40]
Haley Karenia
That's fair. And honestly, steak and fries, much better than the trivia night that we were going to anyway. But tonight is a new night and it's going to be a new venue, new host, new questions. We have a, I don't know, maybe just like the, it's like a breath of fresh air. We'll just have change of scenery and maybe we'll really knock it out of the park. Maybe I'll go live on Rumble and we could tap into our, our fans and our, our lifelines. No, I'm just kidding. We won't cheat. We won't cheat. But we'll see. I, I have a flight. I have to get up for my flight at 3:30 in the morning. So I didn't want to go, but I've been, I've been bullied into going. So here I, here I go. We'll, we'll update you next week. The next live show that I have quick programming note. I will say that tomorrow. I. What's, what's tomorrow? Thursday? Yes, Thursday I have a show. I will see you tomorrow. Friday I will not Friday, no show. And then I will see you right back here on Monday. So tomorrow I will see you Friday. I will not see you Monday I will see you. Okay, so let's get into the show, shall we? Google's parent company, they want to release 32 million mosquitoes in California and Florida. What could go right? And then the Freedom Ship cruise liner that 50,000 people can live on is going viral again. What could go right? And then a massive scrolling time segment for you because I didn't have some yesterday. I'm going to have double for you today. Chock full of race baiters and not so tolerant liberals and a woman who, who she actually paid a pet scientist psychic to tell her that her cat is a sassy gay man who wants a gay lover. All of that and so much more. Before we get into it, I want to remind you to subscribe to this show rumble.com Haley's where you can watch us live.

And without further ado, a quick message from our sponsors for today. First up is America's Gold Company. In these uncertain times, one thing is certain. Many central banks are selling U.S. treasuries and buying more gold than at any time in modern history. One major US bank is now telling their clients to put 20% of their portfolio in gold, replacing half of their bonds. And when some of the biggest money in the world moves from dollar to gold, it is worth asking why? Thankfully, my trusted partner, America's Gold Company put together a comprehensive guide to help you protect and grow your life's work. They sent me their Gold Guide. It is wonderful. It lays out everything in a way that is very easy to understand. How physical gold is held in an ira. But it would be under my name, under my control. And no institution comes between me and my gold.

Once you try it, you won't want to go back. Put those phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. So here's a headline that stopped my scroll. Google wants to release up to 32 million good mosquitoes in California and Florida. Hill and then it says when you think of Google debugging something, you probably think of software, not actual bugs. Yet the tech giant is seeking approval from the United States government to release up to 32 million mosquitoes as part of its debug program. Google. Yes, Google, Big Tech. That's they are behind this debug program, Google and their mission is to get rid of mosquitoes that carry illnesses. Which sounds great, right? Everyone wants to get. Nobody likes mosquitoes. Nobody likes getting bitten by mosquitoes. It's summertime wherever, we're outside, barbecues, things like that, you're playing in the grass. Nobody likes mosquitoes. Actually, I believe that there was a mosquito in my bed. Maybe not last night, but the night before because it like everywhere and I haven't been outside doing anything recently, so I think it was one in my room. Anyway, I hate mosquitoes. Everyone hates mosquitoes. And Google's mission is to get rid of the bad ones that carry illnesses. So if you're thinking Google, you know, why would Google be in the business of killing mosquitoes? Well, according to them, it's because this movement to kill bad mosquitoes requires lots of in depth, fancy AI technology and it'll help save the world and make people less sick. So it sounds really good, but if you ask me, I want to go get my tinfoil hat on. My mind goes directly to hmm, Big Tech teaming up with the cdc. What could go right? What could go right? This could be a slippery slope, don't you think? When you hear Big Tech teaming up with the cdc, what do you think? You think this is a good thing or do you think this is a bad thing? What's your reaction when you see this?
- [07:20]
Andrew
All I can think of is the guy who's talking about releasing all the ticks that make you allergic to meat as like solving a food crisis. I'm like, pass now.
- [07:30]
Haley Karenia
Well, it's the tick that causes Alpha Gal and people are now allergic to red meat. This is rampant, especially where I grew up on Long Island. Further out on Long island, it's, it's huge. And I saw a TikTok the other day of this girl saying, if you're in the Nantucket area, it's all over the island. I've been going my whole life and I've always been going and we never had to worry about ticks. And now ticks are, you know, the, the hot new thing. And Lyme disease is the hot new thing. Alpha Gal is a hot new thing. It's like all these bug born illnesses. So again, I think that this could be a slippery slope because if they can release good bugs, they can certainly release bad bugs. Right? This is where my head goes, guys. I don't trust big tech. I don't, I don't trust big tech. As, as much as ever, all of you in the chat, people are saying, I have it, it's awful. You're you. I wonder if you're talking about the Alpha gal, the, the food, the tick borne illness that makes you allergic to red meat. I think it's red meat and, and dairy or something else. If, if Brooke Nova, broken Nova in the chat. If, if that's you, you can let me know.
- [08:38]
Andrew
I just remember Zika. Like that was like the biggest thing to avoid mosquitoes.
- [08:42]
Haley Karenia
We're getting into it because it's not just Lyme that you have to worry about with ticks. It's not just Zika or West Nile. Like I remember growing up, West Nile virus was the thing. I remember growing up in the 90s and playing outside and getting notifications that they're going to, you know, helicopters are going to come by and spray something on all of us. Again, what could go wrong? What did they spray on all of us? Did it get rid of West Nile or did it give everyone autism? I don't know. Like it could just be anything. So this is, let's get into the slippery slope here because I wonder what they're putting in the bugs and then are they going to bite me and then I'm going to turn into Spider man or something like this is where my head goes. But we're going to get into what they're saying. And you might also be wondering, how would Google be allowed to do this? Well, they're trying to do this. So Debug is currently seeking permission via an experimental use permit from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. And the experimental permit would allow them to do limited field testing, which of course they would like to do in Florida, where we live awesome. Why can't you, why can't you test this in Africa? You know, where people are dying from these illnesses? They're not, people are not dying from them here. So why test them on us? This is, this is my question I'm going to get into. So they, they're going to do this, they're going to ask the EPA for this field test and then, you know, then they can, after they do this field test and they test it and they do some research, then they can go and get a full registration later on. And let me just say, if you see this headline and you're thinking, I don't like this, I don't want the EPA to give them permission. For the next three days until June 5th, you can leave a public comment on regulations.gov and apparently the EPA will review these comments before deciding whether or not to go through with this. So if you have a problem with this and you think that this is a slippery slope and this is some big gate, Bill Gates big tech weirdness, which I think might be, I don't know, you can go and you can complain to the EPA and maybe they won't, maybe they won't go through with this. Maybe they'll say to Debug, you can f off and, and we don't want to do this here. So there's a chance that this won't happen. But even if the EPA allows this and goes through with this, local regulators would also have to approve, you know, site specific releases. So people in Florida and California would have to release this and get permissions and whatnot. But let's get into what they want to do. Debug claims that these mosquitoes are not going to be genetically modified in any way, despite the need for, you know, fancy AI systems. They claim that this is completely natural. So Debug posted this video on their website. Let's watch this together.

One Night with Steiny Host
The deadliest animal in the world kills more people each year than every other animal combined, makes hundreds of millions of people sick and is half the length of a staple. It's the mosquito. And a lot of mosquitoes are bad bugs, like one species, Aedes aegypti. These bad bugs bite. And these bad bugs breed. They're an invasive species that spreads diseases like Zika, dengue and Chikungunya, diseases that stop people from working and going to school. Most of these diseases don't have effective vaccines, so that means we have to stop the bad bugs. Except pesticides can be toxic and clearing standing water is not enough because people can never Find all the places that bad bugs live so they almost always come back biting and breeding. We need a better way to stop the bad bugs. Luckily, there are good bugs. They're the same kind of mosquito. But good bugs can't fight, good bugs can't breed. And most importantly, good bugs can stop bad bugs. How? Well, nature, with a little bit of science mixed in. You raise mosquitoes that have a naturally occurring bacteria that makes it so they can't breed with bad bugs. Then you separate the males because male mosquitoes can't bite. Then when you release those males into the wild, they find bad bugs to mate with, but their eggs won't hatch because of the bacteria in the good bug. So the next generation gets smaller, smaller and smaller and smaller until all the bugs are practically gone. And unlike other methods, good bugs are harmless. And they naturally know exactly where to find bad bugs because they're, you know, bugs pretty good, right? Except for this. To work you need a lot of good bugs. And making a lot of good bugs is really, really hard. That's why we're starting Debug a project to develop better technology to raise more good bug. Technology like bug sorting algorithms, bug tracking sensors and bug raising robots. That's right, bug raising robots. And with more good bugs in more places, it might finally be possible to stop the spread of mosquito borne diseases. That way more people could go to work, more people could go to school, more people could go outside without worrying about getting sick. And bad bugs could be a problem that's just as small, small as they are.
- [14:20]
Haley Karenia
Okay, who sold? Who sold? I'm not. My favorite part of the video is when they said, you know, we really need to do this. And it's very hard and it's very expensive and we, and we need to do this so that people can go to work. We need more people to go to work. People are not, people are not working because they're sick with Zika. Like where? Not in the United States, not in Florida, not in California, where they want to do this. As if enough of us aren't working ourselves to the bone. They're like, get up and work. Don't get sick. Get up and work. And on Debug's Frequently Asked questions page, they explain that the, the process by which they aim to reduce the population is called cytoplasmic incompatibility. Basically male birth control for mosquitoes. Brought to you by Google. Again, what could go wrong? And is this necessary in Florida and California? Not, if you ask me, the diseases that are spread by these ad Aegypti mosquitoes are Dengue fever, Zika, Chikungunya, yellow fever, Rift Valley fever virus, Mayarovirus, Venezuela equine encephalitis, and very rarely West Nile virus. These are the viruses. You tell me in the chat. If you know someone who's gotten sick with anything like this in the United States, I don't think you're gonna be able to come up with. I've never heard of anyone getting sick with anything like this. And it's because the numbers are very small. Very, very small. Now, a completely different kind of mosquito spreads malaria, but the 80s aegypti mosquito is female and it spreads all the other viruses that I mentioned. Now let's talk about the numbers in the United States and why you would need 32 million mosquitoes to be, you know, deployed into our population. 19 people have died from dengue fever in the US over the last 10 years. 19 over the last 10 years. And the United States citizens who have contracted it, contracted it abroad in places where this mosquito borne illness is popular. So it is not necessary to deploy this in the United States. This year alone there have been a thousand cases in the us, no deaths. Zika virus even more rare. And these cases are always travel related as well. There was a small outbreak in 2016, which I know Andrew mentioned, and again there was panic. Every time there's a mention of a disease or a sickness or an illness or anything pandemic, people freak out. This was before COVID even. And I remember I was graduating college and I, I was applying to work at NBC Sports for the Olympics and I forget where it was. Brazil maybe. And it was a big Zika outbreak. And I remember my mom was like, I don't know if you want to go because it's, you know, if you're not that. I was pregnant and I've never been pregnant, but it's dangerous for pregnant women. So there were all these travel advisor advisories put into place for pregnant women, considering the side effects and potential birth defects if contracted. So my question again is why does Google need to deploy these good mosquitoes in Florida and California when nobody's getting sick here and nobody's dying here? Why not deploy this experiment where the viral outbreaks are occurring? And they are. There are similar projects in Singapore and elsewhere. But I wonder if, because this is just where my brain goes, I have questions. I wonder if the mosquitoes that carry diseases will be able to detect maybe not right away, but over time and adapt to whether or not a male mosquito has that Bacteria that prevents them from procreating because like any virus, they mutate, they adapt to their, they need to find a host. So disease spreading mosquitoes, wouldn't they want to procreate with a mosquito that would help them spread that disease? And I'm just spitballing here, I'm not an expert, I'm not a scientist and I am not a mosquito expert. Although they do love me. When I get bitten by a mosquito, I think it's because I have O positive blood. I think people with O blood are much more likely to get bitten by mosquitoes. So I get eaten alive and then, you know, they blow up. Like if I scratch it, it becomes this big. So it's just for me. I hate mosquitoes. But I'm wondering, will the mosquitoes, will the females, the adelphi or aegypti mosquitoes, over time will they be able to know, will they be able to sense that bacteria in the males that will not allow them to procreate? I wonder if over time those mosquitoes will not engage with those males. And then, then we have a bunch of these, you know, and they don't call them genetically modified, but they're going to be built with a bacteria in them and bred with a bacteria in them. So sort of I wonder what the implications will be for us because they don't, they don't bite, but certainly they're going to be in the environment. Maybe there, maybe there's an issue with this bacteria and I don't know and I don't really trust these people to do the right thing. That's just where my head goes.
- [19:53]
Andrew
So here's a pic of you and the Bongino boys after we get bit by toxic mosquitoes.
- [19:59]
Haley Karenia
Why didn't I get, Am I the girl?
- [20:01]
Andrew
Yeah, well, duh. But you've been bitten so much you're immune to anything.
- [20:06]
Haley Karenia
Perfect. Yeah. What could go wrong? What could go wrong? And so I'm just thinking, because you know, these mosquitoes are not genetically modified. But I remember in college we did, I took this science, technology and society class and we did an experiment where we had organic fruit and then genetically modified fruit and we put them out and saw what animals would rather eat. And animals have adapted to know whether something is organic or gen. Genetically modified. And all the foods that humans eat in the grocery store for the most part are genetically modified. They genetically modify tomatoes to be big and bright red and you know, peaches to be bigger and you know, more aesthetically pleasing because we're more likely to buy it it's, it, that's what they're doing to us. And you know, they'll say that it's fine to eat genetically modified fruit, there's nothing wrong with it. But then why, when put out into the wild, why do animals prefer the organic? Certainly there's something in the fruit that the animals are reacting to or, or sniffing out. So that's why I think that over time these mosquitoes are going to be able to sniff out the male mosquitoes with that bacteria that can't procreate and they're going to be like, no, thank you, and they're going to go bang someone else. That's the way that it's going to happen. Because they're going to want to survive and they're going to want, like it is by nature, animals want to procreate. So I think that this is just, you know, they're delaying the inevitable, that, but eventually these mosquitoes are just going to, maybe they'll just die off, I don't know. Unless they're robot bred, which they said that they're going to be. Maybe they're going to be, I don't know, maybe they're going to have superpowers, who knows? And then it begs the question, because, you know, I'm not a fan of mosquitoes, but what happens if mosquitoes were eradicated? Well, Google doesn't really want to eradicate mosquitoes. They don't think that that would be, that would, wouldn't really make that much of a difference. But they also think that it wouldn't have that much of an impact on the ecosystem to get rid of these riskier species because there's other species of mosquitoes. And basically that's, they say that it's not going to, it's not going to make the ecosystem collapse. So they think that it's fine, you don't have to get rid of all of them, but you could certainly get rid of the ones that are spreading these illnesses and it wouldn't have that much of an impact. It would have a positive impact rather than a negative one. But government agencies have recommended bug repellent with DEET in it as a means to protect yourself from biting mosquitoes. And of course, you know, how long has that been going on? Decades. Because I remember when I was younger putting on deet and a new study now published in the Journal of Experimental Biology found that mosquitoes can learn to associate the smell of DEET with food. So essentially, if you're spraying yourself with DEET to repel mosquitoes, they've actually adapted to love it. And they think, if you have DEET on, that's my dinner. So now if you put this mosquito repellent on, you're actually attracting them. And essentially over time, they've adapted to this and become somewhat immune to it. And this is a little news report on that finding. Watch.
- [23:34]
News Reporter
For as long as anyone can remember, there's been a battle between humans and mosquitoes. And the most effective weapon in our defense was even around at the time of this cartoon from the 1940s, Bug spray. Spray containing the chemical deet.
- [24:02]
Scientist/Expert
And it works because it basically confuses the mosquitoes in it when they try to land on you. It acts as a contact repellent, and it just sort of disrupts their olfactory system. They're just not attracted to you anymore.
- [24:14]
News Reporter
Developed by the US army in 1946, DEET, or diethyl meta toluamine, has kept us off the menu until now. These lab tests run by Virginia Tech University shows mosquitoes that bit people as DEET started to wear off, then associated the spray with dinner time, turning DEET into an attractant other than a repellent.
- [24:38]
Scientist/Expert
I'm not too concerned, really. You know, it's a very interesting study. If you condition them enough, then they will eventually ignore or prefer the smell of deet, because they associate that with a reward. But in the wild, that's not going to go down in the same way.
- [24:52]
Haley Karenia
So we've been putting DEET on. You know, again, this is a United States government experiment that they've told us that we need to put on. And while it's not a carcinogen, it does. You know, if you misuse it or if you use it a lot or if you breathe it in, it can lead to rare neurotoxic effects such as seizures and, of course, skin and eye irritation. If you spray it in your eye, which is a skill issue, that's stupid. But it makes you think. It just makes you wonder. I mean, we put this stuff on and the mosquitoes adapt. So why wouldn't the mosquitoes adapt to this debug program as well? And citronella candles are also a complete scam. You just said what? You didn't know that? He says no. Andrew says no. Well, allow me to explain. So citronella candles, they. They only work in close proximity. So if you have a citronella candle maybe on the table where you're eating, it might have an effect. If you have it, you know, under the table where your feet are, it can have an effect. But a Lot of people put citronella candles, like, around the edges of their property. You know, those, like, tiki candles that have the citronella, like, that doesn't do anything because if there's a breeze, the scent that is working to repel the mosquitoes goes away, and it's nowhere near you either.
- [26:20]
Andrew
Okay. Yeah, that checks out. I thought. I thought, like, if I put it on my table, it wasn't going to work, but, you know.
- [26:26]
Haley Karenia
You know, now that I think, well, it's kind of one of those things where it's like, does it work or doesn't it? You don't really know how many it's repelling. I still get bug. I still get bug bites when there's a citronella candle around. But I don't know if that's because I'm positive blood. And they like me.
- [26:42]
Andrew
I just buy.
- [26:43]
Haley Karenia
Nothing is getting in between a mosquito and my ankles. Let me just tell you that.
- [26:46]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [26:46]
Haley Karenia
Now I could wear deet. I could have a citronella candle. These mosquitoes are like, that is exactly what I want.
- [26:52]
Andrew
I got a giant candle I just bought from Costco that I might have to take back now. So thanks for that.
- [26:57]
Haley Karenia
Well, just put it near you, don't put it away from you. It's just some people think, oh, if I put these candles over here, they just won't come into my yard. But that's not how it works, so.
- [27:08]
Andrew
Fair enough.
- [27:09]
Haley Karenia
Anyway, someone in the chat said citronella is a scam. My whole life has been a lie. Well, it's really. It's how you use it. So maybe your whole life isn't a lie. Maybe it is. I don't know. So basically, you know, we've been smothering ourselves in chemicals, surrounding ourselves with chemicals that are essentially ineffective or not as effective as they used to be in repelling bugs. And, you know, maybe they're giving us other seizures and other issues, and we don't even know that. But, you know, I just worry about Google. I always worry about big tech and what they're up to. This is just giving, you know, the same thing with the ticks and then the. There's always a, you know, the tick issue. Then they're coming out with the vaccine. Like, any time that the CDC is involved in big tech and big pharma and all them get together, it can't be good. That's all I'm saying. So it can't be good. We'll. We'll keep an eye on this. And certainly if they come out with some, you know, in a few years there's going to be some vaccine against the whatever this is called 80 Egypti mosquito or something. And you know, people will be rolling up their sleeves for it. Like they'll. For a cheeseburger, they'll roll up their sleeves for a free cheeseburger, free fries at McDonald's. Just like last time it was Shake Shack. Yeah, exactly. All right, well, you know how I feel about cruises. Also very wary about cruises. I say it all the time, you couldn't pay me to go on one. And now there is a cruise. Not that this is really a new phenomenon, but now there's a cruise going viral that is called the freedom ship. And 50,000 people can now live on it. This isn't just you go on a cruise, vacation. This is a permanent living situation or at least semi permanent living situation. And it is $16 billion. It is a mile long ship. It is capable of carrying 80,000 people. However, all 80 wouldn't be living there permanently. 50,000 people would live there permanently. 10,000 would be just tourists and there would need to be room for the 20,000 crew members. But they say this, that the Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea, designed for long term residents rather than short term travel. And again, this ship is about eight times the size of the current largest ship in the world, which is Royal Caribbean's icon of the seas. Eight times the size of the biggest one currently. And on this cruise they are planning to have a 15, 000 seat stadium. They're going to have schools, they're going to have colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks and more. This, the ship would run on nuclear and it would be so large it wouldn't be able to dock. It would just remain in international waters. Which begs the question, how are you getting on that thing? You're just parachuting in, you're helicoptering in, you're carnival cruising, actually Carnival cruise in and then you, you know, you hop back on. So this thing is just going to stay out there forever. Which, you know, if this is possible then why did people get off the Hanta Cruise, the Hantavirus cruise, just like, you know, you're quarantined to the perfect place. You're on a ship in the middle of nowhere. So anyway, this is wild to look at these renderings. I mean that is a massive, massive stadium, 15,000 seats. I don't know about that. And then someone in the chat just said, sounds great until hantavirus strikes. Well, you'd have everything you needed. Call, you can go to college. Well, if. If hantavirus. If you get it, you're. You're dead in about two days.
- [30:46]
Andrew
But neurovirus is rubbing its hands together going, we got them.
- [30:50]
Haley Karenia
Neurovirus loves the look of this. Neurovirus is thinking I could. I could get used to this. I could stay here. I could spread here. Yeah, that's looking good. I mean this is. I mean there's a concert hall. It looks very nice. There's. What is this like a sports betting. There's gambling. I mean what more. What more could you want? So this would be a two year voyage. You'd live on it for two years. That's pretty crazy.
- [31:17]
Andrew
Like an average lease usually, you know.
- [31:20]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. I mean if you want to live, it's just two years. What's two years? I again, I would never do this. Someone in the chat said live in international waters. Yeah.
- [31:30]
Andrew
This feels like an Apple TV show.
- [31:33]
Haley Karenia
Yeah, it's. The renderings are very futuristic and kind of scary. It just looks a little. It just looks a little. I mean again what the idea of it is what could go right.
- [31:46]
Andrew
Yeah. Like the idea is fun but the execution. There's no way it's that like magical out there.
- [31:52]
Haley Karenia
I mean there's going to be hospitals, there are going to be ships, shops, restaurants, museums. Like are they going to change the exhibits? I guess they have to for two years. I don't know. Like all of this is. How are the. They had a 15,000 seat stadium as if. And they showed a soccer game. Like they're going to just like helicopter soccer teams into play.
- [32:18]
Andrew
Sure. Anything's possible in a render.
- [32:23]
Haley Karenia
This is just the plans. The. It doesn't have to go to plan. I thought that this was crazy. So they're going to have green spaces. There's going to be an airstrip for small planes there. Of course they have a focus on sustainability and you know there's going to be nuclear power involved. What could go wrong? What could go right?
- [32:42]
Andrew
Do we just put the villages out there?
- [32:45]
Haley Karenia
I. I think people who are willing to be a guinea pig for this. Why not? Let's see what happens. It's not going to be me. Kiss McGroin said. Who's delivering the mail?
- [32:58]
Andrew
It gets forwarded per the chopper.
- [33:00]
Haley Karenia
Who has mail these days?
- [33:03]
Andrew
I get bills. It's about it. My mom sends me stuff every once in a while.
- [33:06]
Haley Karenia
Yeah, me too. Yeah, I don't really get mail. I mean unless I'm ordering a package. But I'm sure they can you know,
- [33:12]
Andrew
figure out a way usually lost by usps by the time I'm supposed to receive it.
- [33:16]
Haley Karenia
So, like, yeah, can I rant about something for a second?
- [33:19]
Andrew
Full send.
- [33:20]
Haley Karenia
So at my apartment complex, there's a little mail room. And my apartment complex has now put a sign out saying, don't leave packages in the mailroom. If it can't fit in the Amazon locker, you got to bring it to the door of the apartment. None of these lazy asses are bringing the packages to the apartment doors, so they're just not bringing it. I've had three packages lost now because they. There's a sign saying, don't leave the package here. So they don't. They don't leave it at all. So now I. I ordered a pair of shoes for my bachelorette that I'm going on this weekend. Can't. Those are nowhere to be found. I have no idea where they are.
- [34:02]
Andrew
Is this USPS or like, UPS FedEx?
- [34:05]
Haley Karenia
I don't know.
- [34:06]
Andrew
Okay.
- [34:07]
Haley Karenia
It was just. I have three Amazon packages that are lost in the ether.
- [34:11]
Andrew
That's tough. That is the worst.
- [34:14]
Haley Karenia
And I don't know where. Like, I think my best course of action. These packages are somewhere. I don't know where they are. Like, where do they get sent when they don't get delivered back to sender.
- [34:25]
Andrew
Do they go to the sender? And then I know there's like, a lost mail. I don't even. Like A warehouse where, like, all the lost mail goes, and then they, like, auction it off, like, at the end of the X amount of years or whatever. It's don't. I'm so anti usps. They lose everything.
- [34:43]
Haley Karenia
And my thing is for me to track down where this package is, and then who knows if it's even there? Let's say I go to this warehouse with what time. You know, I ordered this because I don't want to go get it myself.
- [34:59]
Andrew
I recently sent my mom, like, a birthday card, and she received it in, like, pieces. Like a samurai had fruit ninja it out of the air. I couldn't tell you how that happened. Like, what are we doing? It's just the mail's been around forever, and for some reason, it is terrible.
- [35:17]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. No, I haven't had very positive experiences as of late. And I'm just frustrated because if the mail people were allowed to leave the packages, you know, certainly that comes with its own issues because people steal and people whatever, and it's left out in the elements. And I've had issues that way, too. But at least if you Leave it there. I can pick it up. If you don't leave it there and you don't deliver it to my apartment, where does it go? I guess they just don't deliver it.
- [35:44]
Andrew
Just keep it and send it back, I would assume.
- [35:46]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. And how does that help me? It doesn't.
- [35:50]
Andrew
The. The group mail situation at, like, condos and apartments and stuff is just the worst.
- [35:57]
Haley Karenia
Did I ever tell the story about my package situation at my apartment in Nashville?
- [36:03]
Andrew
No, you didn't tell me at least.
- [36:04]
Haley Karenia
Okay, well, here's another male story. So another male rant. So my apartment complex in Nashville, there's a lot of building going on in Nashville. So this was my first apartment. And there was a big crane next door because they were building a hotel next to our apartment complex. And the crane was leaning a little bit. It was like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And people were getting concerned that the crane was not installed correctly, it wasn't stable. And they were nervous that the crane was going to fall into our building, which would have been great. And my apartment was facing this. This leaning crane. Not good. And they said, you know, we'll pay for your rent. Essentially, you don't have to pay rent if you stay or if you leave. What? Like, you know. So it was like a whole situation. Everyone in our building was staying, going, whatever. I just thought, when. When it's my time to go home, God will take me. When it's my time, I'm not going to leave my apartment. I'm just not it. Whatever happens, happens. That's my mentality. So I wasn't going to leave my apartment. So unfortunately, a lot of people that worked at the apartment complex were on strike because they didn't want to work at a building that could potentially get hit by the crane. Were we gonna get hit? We weren't gonna get hit by the crane. They just wanted an excuse to not go to work. So this is, you know, so now no one. No one in maintenance is at the building, no one at the front desk. Etc. So we also had a situation, and this wasn't really a problem for me because I didn't drive. But our garage door was broken. So people could just. People who didn't live in our apartment complex could drive in and park and homeless people would come and walk up our thing and stay in our parking garage. Not great.
- [37:51]
Andrew
Oh, fun.
- [37:53]
Haley Karenia
And then because everyone was on strike, you would call and no one would answer the phone. Great. So I had ordered. Cause this is right after I had moved. I got settled, but I wanted a New bed. I wanted a new mattress. I needed a new box spring. I needed all this new stuff, new bedding. And I thought, you know, new Year, new me, I'm gonna splurge on some Crate and Barrel bedding, and I'm gonna go big or go home. And I went big. So I spent, you know, more than I probably should have on bedding. And I was excited, but because there was no one working in the building, I had all these massive packages that I couldn't carry by myself. Normally, when someone's working at the front desk, they have a dolly that I can borrow and put things in the elevator. Well, because no one was working. Those dollies were locked in the office and I couldn't access them. So, you know, I had a bed and bedding and everything, but all my new stuff was just sitting in the mailroom, and I couldn't pick it up myself. And, you know, I didn't know anyone that could come help me or anything. So it was just sitting there. New Year's Eve, I'm working at Fox because they had the Fox News. They had, like, a Nashville, you know, hub for New Year's Eve. So I was working late, and I came home late, and I wasn't like, going out or anything. I was working, but I came home late, and I was sort of like stumbling into my apartment, very tired. And I looked over and I saw that the door was open, the door to the closet with the dollies. And I thought to myself, oh, I guess someone worked today because it's New Year's Eve. And they thought maybe there'd be issues or something. And I said, perfect, it's going to be open. I'll go down first thing in the morning and get all my packages up. Well, I go down first thing in the morning. Guess what? There is a bloodbath in the package room. There's blood everywhere. It looked like someone had bled out into the package room. And we had a little. We had a little gift wrapping station with, like, wrapping paper and scissors and stuff. The homeless people had gotten into our apartment complex because the gate was open. They got inside. Someone must have left them in because let them in because there was no one working the door. And they decided to ransack our mailroom. And they took the scissors from the wrapping thing, and they were probably going through it like crazy people. And there's blood everywhere. They must have cut themselves and just kept going through packages. So there's blood all over the floor. And I see that all the packages have been ripped through, stolen. There's a bunch of empty boxes. Empty bags. Thankfully, because my stuff was a mattress, a box spring, it was too heavy for them to pick up and. And take. So they didn't. They did take my bedding, unfortunately, that was. They could pick that up. So they did. They did take my expensive bedding, but they weren't able to take my mattress and stuff. So anyway, there's blood everywhere, obviously. This was like, there was broken glass in the lobby and all that. So I call the people who are supposed to be working at the apartment complex. They're nowhere to be found because they're still on strikes. I had to call the police, make a police report. Nothing ever happened. I had to, you know, pay for new bedding and all that. So.
- [41:17]
Andrew
Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, that was. I thought there was going to be a happy ending. I. That's on me.
- [41:23]
Haley Karenia
Someone in the chat is complaining about my story time. Listen to someone else's fucking podcast then. Or why don't you make a podcast and you can complain about what you want to complain about. This is my show, so I can complain about my mail problems. And let's go to scrolling time. Hey there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible.

Commentator
Something I learned recently from hearing black women speak on this is that just like the word boy has racist undertones due to history, the word girl does as well. So if you're a white woman and you refer to women as hey, girl, don't do that with black women. You don't see men that are not blatantly racist going up to black men calling them boy. So why do we think that it's okay to use the word girl? And it's just, I think it's something that doesn't cross a lot of our minds for whatever reason. We just think it's a boy thing. But slave owners, owners called their slaves girl and boy. So maybe take that out of your vocabulary altogether and start calling Girls, girlfriend, something else. There's things that you may not realize are actually harming people, but that doesn't take away the fact that it is harming them. Because even though it's not your intent, it's still happening. This is why understanding black history is so important. This is why constantly educating ourselves is so important. We didn't learn enough in school, and what we did learn, a lot of us forgot. Constantly educating yourself is key.
- [43:25]
Haley Karenia
You're just not educated. So this is why we can't use the words boy and girl. And if you do, you're not educated, according to this woman, of course. It's a white savior complex. Woman who decides to, you know, read up on I don't know what African American history. And, you know, just because slave owners called their slaves boy and girl doesn't mean that we have to remove those words from our vocabulary. That's not what they mean. The words girl and boy are referring to the children boy and girl. This is. This is what they mean. These are humans that are. These are based on their gender. This is based on their biological sex. These are what the words mean. Just because people get offended by them doesn't mean that there's. That they're wrong. They're not wrong. And I have been calling people girls since high school. This has never been about race. I've never. Of course I did. Never. I never thought about this context, because why would I? But I have always said, hey, girl. I've never called someone boy, hey, boy. But, like, bro, do you call people boy? No, I.
- [44:35]
Andrew
No, it's more so girl.
- [44:36]
Haley Karenia
People don't say, hey, boy. Hey, girl. Girl, please.
- [44:40]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [44:41]
Haley Karenia
Yes, girl, for sure, girly. Pop.
- [44:45]
Andrew
Yeah. I. I feel like I walk into my house and scream, what up, girl?
- [44:50]
Haley Karenia
What up, girl?
- [44:51]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [44:52]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. It's never been about race. I've never thought. I've.
- [44:55]
Andrew
Now I have to stop because racism.
- [44:58]
Haley Karenia
Well, girls are of all races. Girls are of all races. If you say, hey, girl, it has nothing to do with their skin color. Unless you ask this woman. They just want to silence white people, essentially. And cancel culture has scared enough people into submission. They walk on eggshells all the time as to not offend someone or be like, accidentally racist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic. Like, they're. They're so afraid of being called these things. I don't care. Most normal people don't care. It's exhausting. This is why you have. You can't pander to these people. When you see something like this, you can't be like, oh, wow, they have a good point. Oh, wow, I shouldn't do that. Oh, man, I'm a bad person. They. They'll have you convincing yourselves that you're a bad person for saying, hey, girl. You're racist for saying hey, girl. No, it's 2026. Everything is racist, including white girls who get hair extensions, apparently. And as a white girl who has hair extensions, I'd like to watch this and respond, let's see how I'm so racist and horrible.
- [45:54]
Paula Pan
Listen, something that always makes me go, wow is the prices that 8.5 by 11 women are willing to pay for a weave. And the only reason that they pay such high prices is most times to get a bad weave. No shade is because they don't want to be associated with weave the same way black women are. See, 8.5 by 11s don't even call it weave. They call it extensions. And all these other terminologies they call it because they don't want to be associated with weave the same way black women are. And they be paying like 3k, 6k and they get stuff like rose, all because they don't want to be labeled as weave warriors. Oh, I'm wearing extensions. That's a weave. And I'm telling y', all the prices they pay, like. And they wear wigs too. For people that actually they don't know, they wear wigs too. And they will pay 10k for a wig. They look like a hat. And they don't care because as long as they don't get associated with weave like black women, they'll pay whatever.
- [46:55]
Haley Karenia
So why. My question is, why do they care if white women are paying more than they are for the same hair and it's not the same hair? But wouldn't they like that if they're getting a deal and white people have to pay more money? Like, isn't that, you know, sort of like reparations? They get the deal on hair extensions and we don't. Like, isn't that what they want? They want, like, cheaper, everything free. This, like, why do I understand what the problem is? I have never in a million years because I get hair extensions. Because it would look very bad if I didn't. On this show, people ask me all the time, why to get hair. I don't need hair extensions. My hair is as long as my extensions. It's for thickness on camera. If you don't have. If you don't have. I have very thin hair, but it looks bad on camera. So anyway, most people that you see on tv, if you watch Fox, you watch, you know, Newsmax or whatever, or any news network for that matter, or anyone in tv, any famous person, they've got a wig on or they've got some kind of hair extensions because it just looks bad on camera with these lights and everything. Especially if there's an LED screen behind you, you'll look bald. And nobody wants to look bald. Especially if you're a woman, you don't want to look bald. So I have hair extensions, and they are very expensive, but mine are. I think mine are like $1,000. And then I have to pay like 300 every eight weeks to get them moved up when my hair grows. It's very expensive.
- [48:24]
Andrew
I'm gonna be honest. I thought my haircut was expensive, and now I'm gonna just shut up.
- [48:29]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. And that doesn't. That doesn't. That doesn't include haircut or color.
- [48:35]
Andrew
Yeah, like, my haircut's like 50 bucks. And it pains me every four months that I do it.
- [48:41]
Haley Karenia
Oh, because you don't go that often. Like, some guys get their haircut can't keep up.
- [48:45]
Andrew
Down in South Florida, the. The fade, I can't keep up.
- [48:49]
Haley Karenia
Right.
- [48:49]
Andrew
Can't be me.
- [48:50]
Haley Karenia
It's so you have to go so often.
- [48:52]
Andrew
My prime, I was paying $40 every two weeks.
- [48:55]
Haley Karenia
$40 every two weeks. Yeah. This stuff adds up. This is expense. It's expensive. Certainly, I could save money if I didn't have hair extensions, but I would look horrible on. On camera. So, you know, it is what it is.
- [49:05]
Andrew
Well, I'll show you where to make out your reparations.
- [49:08]
Haley Karenia
Check to thank you. Someone said, why don't you do clip ins? I used to, but it's. It's just nicer to have them in your head. It's much easier. I used to do the clip ins every day, and then after a while, they just get nasty. And then you have to, like, wash. It's just easier to have them on your head. You wash them when you go to the shower. Anyway, long story short, but it's very expensive. I have never once in my life thought, oh, let me pay more money so that I could not do it the way that black people do it. I. That we have different hair so we have different needs. Like, no, no, no black person has as thin of hair as I do. We all have our issues. And I. If I had the same weave that they did, my hair would rip out of my head. And like, this is why we do things differently. Because it's not that I want to do them differently. It's not that I want to pay more money. We have different needs. It's not about race. It's just not about race. But according to them, everything is about race, so.
- [50:01]
Andrew
Well, because they think everything is about race, so they really think that everybody just runs around.
- [50:06]
Haley Karenia
Exactly. Thinking about race. Someone said your extensions look very natural. I do that on purpose. I do like the natural look, but I. I'm getting new ones because you can only have them for about a year. And mine are going to be blonder, longer. I'm gonna look a little different in a few weeks. So just. Just get ready, everyone. I'm gonna be a little blonder. I think I'm gonna do bangs. I'm like. My friends from home were like, are you going through something? I know you guys hate bangs. Guys hate bangs, but I don't care. So.
- [50:41]
Andrew
We'll talk later.
- [50:42]
Haley Karenia
We'll talk about this later at Trivia. We'll talk about the bang situation. All right, next video. This. This woman first.
- [50:51]
Interviewer
All gender bathroom. 31 styles of bathroom.
- [50:55]
Haley Karenia
All gender bathroom.
- [50:56]
Interviewer
Anybody can go anywhere. That's Amir.
- [51:02]
Haley Karenia
Okay, my question exactly.
- [51:04]
Interviewer
Have you ever been in an all gender restroom? This your first one? This is my first one. Especially in the airport. What?
- [51:14]
Haley Karenia
It's different.
- [51:14]
Interviewer
What about you? All gender? You ever been in all gender?
- [51:17]
Interviewee
This is my first time. I was kind of thrown off.
- [51:19]
Interviewer
You was kind of thrown off? I don't know. But you was walking fast. You enjoyed. Is either side either side? Okay? Thanks. Okay, ladies, it's happening. Did y' all know this was all gender?
- [51:29]
Haley Karenia
Yeah,
- [51:32]
Interviewer
this is my first time.
- [51:33]
Haley Karenia
I'm like, hey, I stopped him.
- [51:38]
Interviewer
No, I did like this. I was okay. I know that's a girl and I'm okay with whatever, but you just threw this on us.
- [51:44]
Haley Karenia
It's weird.
- [51:45]
Interviewer
It's progressive here, though.
- [51:46]
Commentator
I know.
- [51:47]
Interviewer
And then you doing your makeup and a man in there pissing my. And you cute, though. You cute, cute, though. I'll tell you that.
- [51:55]
One Night with Steiny Host
Yeah.
- [51:55]
Interviewer
But the doors are sealed completely, so that's a good thing since we got all gender, so can't nobody creep in and see that through them doors. The man went in that one. That's the thing. Oh, you said, obviously a man winning that one. Oh, there go a man, y'. All. Okay. Hey, sir. In the all gender bathroom.
- [52:21]
Haley Karenia
So I'm not a fan of filming in the bathroom at all. This.
- [52:25]
Andrew
We legitimately were in here. Like, somebody whips their phone out in the back and we have to fight now.
- [52:28]
Haley Karenia
This is a crime. You can't do that. You cannot do that. So I'm not for this. However, it is funny that she kind of whipped out her phone and then just started interviewing people. Like, this is your first all gender bathroom experience. How you feel? Nobody likes it. Nobody said, yeah, let's do this. Yeah. The majority of people, again, this is why the majority of society cannot bend to this little minute portion of society that is out of their minds. Why? Why? The majority of people do not want to go to the bathroom in an all gender bathroom. I don't want to go to the bathroom and see men in there. And men probably don't want to go into the bathroom and be uncomfortable in front of women. Vice versa. These women doing their makeup. Even the woman said, she's like, you're doing makeup and men are pissing over there. It's unnatural.
- [53:14]
Andrew
I also. Jasmine.
- [53:15]
Haley Karenia
Unnatural.
- [53:15]
Andrew
Really? Bring in the heater. Let's not film in the bathroom. Agreed.
- [53:20]
Haley Karenia
Let's not film in the bathroom. Like, absolutely. She's in the wrong. But I do not agree with all gender bathrooms either. However, I do appreciate that they're all the way down to the ground. When there's a gap in the bathroom, I'm like, this is just. I feel violated.
- [53:34]
Andrew
That's what makes Buc EE's special.
- [53:36]
Haley Karenia
Buc EE's is perfect, but it's all still men and women's.
- [53:40]
Andrew
Yeah, for sure.
- [53:41]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. But I like having the privacy. Nobody wants to not feel like they're in a private area when they go to the bathroom. It's just ridiculous. But the. This brings up the gender bathroom debate. And I truly believe the only way to make this problem go away, and it won't go away completely, but obviously men and women need to go to separate bathrooms every single new build. This is my. If I ran the world and if I was president, if I was in charge of fixing this problem, I would say the way to fix the gender bathroom debate is to, in all new builds, have single stalls, and that's it. And in the single stall, there's a hand washing station. So there'll be a sink. Everyone gets their own everything, and nobody's in the bathroom with anybody else. That's the only way that you can get. Get away with this. And that would still cause issues.
- [54:34]
Andrew
How many, logistically speaking, we're at a stadium. How many single stall bathrooms do you have to Is enough, is the answer. Got it.
- [54:45]
Haley Karenia
Yeah. But here's the thing. You can't even tell the transgender community, oh, why don't you use this bathroom? They'll Barge their way into the women's bathroom because they feel like they belong there, because they're convinced that they are actually female, which is ridiculous. You know what I mean? Like, they don't want to go into the all gender bathroom anyway. They don't want to go into the single stall. They are forcing their way into women's spaces because they're mentally ill. Yeah. So that's the problem. This is why all bathrooms need to be single, so that there's no. There's no choice. You don't give them the choice to go to the bathroom with one or the other. Everyone's going to the bathroom alone. That's the only solution.
- [55:22]
Andrew
Yeah. I mean, you went to this.
- [55:23]
Haley Karenia
Didn't you go to this?
- [55:24]
Andrew
I went to this airport and I walked past a gender neutral bathroom. I was like, yep, nope, we're good.
- [55:31]
Haley Karenia
Yeah.
- [55:31]
Andrew
It was a connection. So we were actually. No, it wasn't. We did the day there. So. But yeah, that airport was weird.
- [55:37]
Haley Karenia
Bizarre. Totally bizarre. And I have noticed there was a bar in New York City that I used to go to. What was it called? I forget. Anyway, they decided, you know, this was after 2016, and everyone went, you know, stupid. But they turned the women's bathroom into the all gender. And then the men had their own, I think, because of the urinal situation.
- [56:02]
Andrew
So then it's like, feels so bogus.
- [56:04]
Haley Karenia
Which is. But this is how it goes anyway, because, yeah, the only people dying to go into the women's bathroom are transgenders.
- [56:11]
Andrew
And that's the thing is it's like benefiting like maybe like two people that fly through, and then it's just making everybody else miserable. They're getting filmed in the bathroom. They can't wear their hat in peace. You know, it's just.
- [56:23]
Haley Karenia
It's ridiculous. And then it's the. The single stall situation too. Or solution would also help parents because how many times is there a mom with a son and she wants to go into the men's bathroom to help him, or vice versa, she wants to bring the boy into the women's restroom to help him. It's like single stalls for everyone. Okay. Like, there's nothing wrong with a family style, larger bathroom situation. Like that just needs to be the. The way that we go. The. Speaking of airport shenanigans, though, the. This Boeing 737, 767 rather left Newark airport. And I'm. I'm saying this because I'm flying into Newark tomorrow, and we've. We've covered a United flight flying into Newark that almost hit the telephone pole. So I'm, I'm very excited. I'm gonna, once we start to land, I'm gonna have my phone out just in case I die. And you know, then everyone will know. Hopefully they'll be able to recover my, my phone recording. If, if that happens, we'll see what we can do. We'll see. But I'll send you my, I'll send you my flight information because we have

Interviewee
one passenger that seems to be making a, a funny joke that isn't so funny and it's going to be compromising the safety of this flight. We're going to be returning back to DORN at this time, unfortunately, because of one person who doesn't want to comply with the instructions and because of the foolishness of this one person that wants to make a joke and it's not funny and it's compromising the integrity and the safety of not only this crew, but all the other passengers. So at this time, unfortunately, we're going to be making our return back to Newark. It's going to be a little over an hour and we will address a passenger. Federal agents will be coming on board and they will be doing a search, which is a very serious issue. And, and we're not going to be taking this very lightly.

So if you could hear the captain there, he said, you know, this was a flight from Newark, New Jersey to Spain and they got over the Atlantic and then they were about an hour and a half, almost two hours into the flight and then they had to turn around because there was a discoverable Bluetooth device and it was either a fitness tracker or some kind of a speaker or something that was named Bomb or it was something like Bomb. They said it was a four letter. I think it was bomb. Gotta be, it's gotta be Bomb. Like what else would make them freak out like that? They said it was a four letter word. I mean it. Yeah. So it's gotta be something like that. So everyone was predicting that it was bomb. And they, the crew said to everyone on the flight and disable all Bluetooth devices. And everyone disabled their Bluetooth device. And then bomb was still there also. Like, would a terrorist name their Bluetooth device Bomb?
- [59:45]
Andrew
Like that's not a funny joke.
- [59:47]
Haley Karenia
Like it's not a funny joke.
- [59:48]
Andrew
Like, because like I get people that name their WI FI routers funny.
- [59:53]
Haley Karenia
Something stupid.
- [59:54]
Andrew
Yeah. And like that's funny. Like haha. But like bomb. Like where, where would you get a laugh at that?
- [60:02]
Haley Karenia
I don't really understand what this device Was like just because you have a fitness tracker on, like I wear like
- [60:08]
Andrew
a Bluetooth speaker, like a JBL or
- [60:10]
Haley Karenia
something on a flight.
- [60:11]
Andrew
Yeah, just like it clicked on during. I mean probably intentionally turned on.
- [60:17]
Haley Karenia
I would say maybe it just seems odd. I don't know what kind of Bluetooth device that you would name, you would have on a flight that would be turned on. I just don't understand that.
- [60:29]
Andrew
We're going to do a small amount of research real quick and see if we can figure out what the device was specifically.
- [60:34]
Haley Karenia
I looked into it. They said it was maybe a fitness tracker or some kind of discoverable funny
- [60:40]
Andrew
device which is odd Fitbit named bomb that won't go off.
- [60:43]
Haley Karenia
That's the thing where it's like why are you even naming it that? And you know. So anyway on the flight the pilots said everyone turn off your Bluetooth devices and everything was off except for bomb. And so then that's. You heard the pilot saying we've got to turn around. Like this is very serious and I don't know if this is a joke or what, but we're taking this very seriously. As they should. So they came back. Everyone that was on the flight was re screened by TSA and Customs and Border Protection. Then they were put on. They were identified and investigated by port authority police. They found out that it was a teenager. It's reported that it was like a 16 year old guy and he didn't realize that he had that on. He didn't realize that it was called Bomb. He didn't realize that it was discoverable. He admitted that it was his device and he forgot that he had named it that and he wasn't intentionally doing it. This is like kids doing stupid.
- [61:49]
Andrew
So enjoy the no fly list, kid.
- [61:51]
Haley Karenia
Yeah, so just really stupid. Anyway, nine hours later this, unfortunately this flight was able to take off on another, another aircraft. Just absolutely ridiculous.
- [62:03]
Andrew
Oh, somebody in the chat said maybe it was named Boom. B O O M. Boom Boom.
- [62:10]
Haley Karenia
Ah, maybe that's a good guess.
- [62:13]
Andrew
Who was that? That was Essay Morgan.
- [62:16]
Haley Karenia
That is a good one because people were guessing in the chat that he spelled boob wrong. But I don't think any 16 year old boy would spell boob wrong. I think they'd be pretty intentional if that's. If that's what they were trying to do. But yeah, maybe Boom. That that makes sense. Yeah, just. Just crazy. Well, I'm getting on the. I'm getting on my flight tomorrow so wish me luck. Say a prayer for me that nothing like this happens. I'm flying into Newark. So, yeah, I will. I will see you tomorrow. I will have a show tomorrow, no show on Friday, and then I will see you back here on Monday as well. So just a reminder, tomorrow, Monday, but no show Friday, and I will see you then. You can follow me on social media in the meantime at haleycarrenia. And I'll see you next time. Bye.
