Main Topics & Segments

1. NASA’s Artemis Missions — Context & Critique

• Artemis 2 Launched April 1, 2026: The crewed mission orbits the moon, not landing on it (00:43).
• Mission Crew: Reed Wiseman (Commander), Victor Glover (Pilot), Christina Koch (Mission Specialist), Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agency).
• Delays and Cost: Artemis 3, initially planned for 2027 lunar landing, rescheduled to 2028, with considerable changes to the original Gateway project (04:03).
  • Estimated cost: $93 billion by 2025; Artemis 2’s launch alone cost $4 billion.
• National Rivalry: Renewed space race with China motivates new U.S. lunar investments.

Notable quote:

• “Nowhere, from here to the moon and back, I would rather live [than America]... If there is another space race, I want to win it.” (03:01)

2. Moon Landing Skepticism & Conspiracy Theories

Hayley dons her “tinfoil hat and shoes” (01:25) and humorously clarifies she’ll “ask questions that don’t make sense to [her],” yet emphasizes respectful curiosity and American pride.

Key Conspiracy Points Discussed:

• Why did the U.S. stop going to the moon after the 70s?

  • Hayley doubts official reasons: high cost, lack of motivation, and public interest (08:01).
  • Points out that current spending undermines those historical justifications.

• Why haven’t other countries landed humans on the moon?

  • “Nobody else wanted to be number two?” (12:09)

• Flag Movement on the Moon:

  • Reference to Mythbusters’ experiment: motion was caused by momentum, despite no atmospheric wind.
  • “If you put the flag in the ground, it will move because of...spinning it and putting it in the ground.” (26:13)

• No Stars in Moon Landing Photos:

  • Hayley outlines both conspiracy and scientific explanations—exposure settings, geolocation concerns.
  • “You just have to believe what you’re told.” (28:30)

• Missing/Misplaced Moon Rocks:

  • U.S. gifted moon rocks to 135 countries; many are missing or fake (Netherlands received petrified wood).
  • “If the greatest world power went to the moon and brought back rock and gave it to you as a gift, would you not take care of that?” (21:07)
  • “Was NASA capable of lying?...That’s seemingly what happened.” (25:16)

• Astronaut Footprints & Moon Dust:

  • Discusses how dry lunar surface forms clear footprints, unlike terrestrial sand.
  • Overboots left on the moon explain discrepancy in boot/footprint shapes.

• NASA’s Alleged Ties to Hollywood:

  • Kubrick’s lens, government liaisons in the film industry for PR and image management.
  • “Our government is actively involved in Hollywood. We know this.” (32:11)

• “Telephone to the Moon” (Nixon’s Call):

  • Questions plausibility of three-second delay for a lunar call compared to broadcast lags on Earth.
  • “If you could call the moon and back in three seconds, then why are we still dealing with [delays]?” (35:03)

3. Audience Polls & Live Reactions

• Public interest in new moon missions is split. Chat responses range from “F. Yes. Boots on the moon,” to indifference.
• Hayley presses: “Why would you not want to see this again? It was good enough for you to see it in ‘69.” (10:45)

Transcript

[Haley]

Hello, everyone. Happy Friday. It's Good Friday. So thank you all for being here. This is scrolling with Haley and we're going to get into an entire episode on. Well, not an entire episode, but mostly the entire episode on the moon landing. So I'm going to get my tinfoil hat on. Although we're not going to get conspiratorial until later. But let me just get my hat on. Get ready to go. Earlier this week, NASA launched a new moon mission, but they won't be landing on the moon. They're saving that until 2028 and probably hoping that the world ends before then so they don't have to deliver. Just kidding. But these missions keep getting delayed, so we'll see if this ends up happening. But I'm putting my tinfoil hat on and I actually have my tinfoil shoes on today, too. I don't know if you can see, but I've got my matching tinfoil hat and shoes for today's moon landing conspiracy theory show. I have also got scrolling time, I've got blind reactions, I'm answering your questions from my Instagram story, and so much more. Put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. So did anyone else find it funny that they did the moon landing or the. I'm sorry, the Artemis 2 launch on April Fool's Day? On April Fool's Day of all days, they launched the Space Launch System with the Artemis 2 crew aboard the Orion spacecraft at NASA's Kennedy Space center, of course, across off the coast of Florida. And some people I know, they went and saw the. The takeoff and stuff. I was actually on Newsmax at the time. My mom texted me and she said, are you watching it from, you know, the beach or something? And I said, no, I'm sitting in my living room on. On Newsmax. And I reacted to it in. In real time because it was happening live. And that was actually not what I was booked to talk about. So I actually didn't know that it was happening. I don't know how I missed this, but I didn't know that we were going back around the moon because the crew will not be landing on the moon, but around it. So let me get my niceties and my disclaimers out of the way. Obviously, you know where I stand. I love this country. I hate the government most of the time, but I love this country. I'm a patriot. I am proud to be an American. There is nowhere else on the face of the planet. Nowhere. From here to the moon and back. I would rather live. I want to show. Exactly. I want to show the entire world what American exceptionalism looks like. And if there is another space race, I want to win it. That's how I feel. I have great respect for the President starting Space Force and investing in that. I applaud Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and others in the private sector, others innovating in this space, no pun intended. But I also have the utmost respect for our engineers and astronauts and scientists who make space missions like this possible. They are more brave and intelligent than I will ever be. And on that note, here's another disclaimer. I don't know if we went to the moon or not. How would I know? For me to know for sure, I would have had to have been there. Impossible. I would have had to have been involved. Impossible. Or I would have to trust what the government tells me. Also impossible. Because unfortunately, I don't believe everything that the government tells us. I do believe that the government lies to us. We know that they've done it before, they'll do it again. So therefore, I ask questions that don't make sense to me. Again, do I know what I'm talking about? No. And unless you're an astrophysicist or something, you probably don't know for sure either. And that's okay. It's okay to admit that you don't know something. And it's okay to have fun talking about these things. So, last disclaimer. Last time I covered the moon landing, I got a lot of emails. I got a lot of emails. I got a lot of dms. If you feel the urge to send me a message, a dm, an email, very long, you know, telling me that I'm dumb, I promise you I won't read it. Don't waste your time. And with that said, let's get into it. So the Artemis 2 takeoff happened, like I said, on April Fool's Day earlier this week. Now, riddle me that. Could they have picked another day? I think probably. I don't know why they would have picked it in the middle of the week. It seems kind of random. Seems like they might be playing in our faces. But okay. This mission will be 10 days long and the crew comprises of four astronauts. Commander radio Reed Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen with the Canadian Space Agency. So this is the first time anyone has attempted to send a crew to the moon in over 50 years. Artemis 2 was never supposed to land on the moon, like I've said, but it's going to fly around it to test the capsule with humans on it, it's going to travel 252, 799 miles away from Earth, which is 4,100 miles longer than the Apollo 13 mission. And as someone who doesn't know anything about anything, that doesn't seem to be that crazy, assuming the technological advancements that have been made in the last 50 plus years, you would think that an extra 4,000 miles. And again, do I know what I'm talking about? No. But I'm thinking if we, if they could do it back then, surely in 57 years, how would they not be able to pull that off? But anyway, they're doing it and they're testing it, and I think that's Wonderful. Now. Now, Artemis 3 is a mission planned for 2027 that was supposed to land on the moon, but now it isn't. NASA has restructured that mission. They are going to perform a docking and rendezvous test in Earth orbit. And that is going to be the first crude lunar landing. It was supposed to be the first crude lunar landing in, you know, 60 years, but it is actually now being pushed to 2028. So Artemis 4 is going to land on the moon. And they have had a lot of changes to their plans. They originally designed a lunar gateway as a space station to orbit the moon, and that whole thing was scrapped. Now they're going to try to repurpose that for other missions and they're going to focus now $20 billion on building a base that will be on the moon's surface. When can we expect that? I don't know. But apparently China is looking into something similar. So it looks like this is the reason for the season. Why are we building this now? Why are we rejiggering our plans? Why are we trying to get a base on the moon? Well, we're going to have to beat China now. Which brings me to some questions. If we were putting astronauts on the moon in the 60s and 70s, why did we stop? And I'm not insinuating that putting humans on the moon is some easy task, but if we were able to do it back then, then we should be able to do it now. Why would we have gotten rid of that technology or regressed in any way, or not invested in it? Of course, the crafts, these newer crafts, have to be tested for safety. We're not just going to throw human beings up there. But why has it been decades and why has nobody else, no other country, been able to put a human being on the moon? Other countries have landed objects on the moon, but they haven't put human beings up there. And, and the reasons for why. This is why we stopped going to the moon after 1972. These are the reasons that people give primarily high costs, decreased political motivation after winning the space race and then lack of public interest. I don't really buy those as reasons. And let's start with the cost. Do you think this trip around the moon and back is going to be cheap? I mean, I'm just going to throw this out to the chat and to the class. Do we really think that going around the moon is, is not going to be a lot of money? I mean, the Artemis 2 mission itself is part of this broader program that is costing $93 billion through 2025. Now we're in 2026 and the single launch this week was $4 billion. That's American taxpayer dollars. So again, the point about public interest, if we're spending $93 billion of our dollars. Oh, I'm interested. No, I'm interested. And clearly it's not a money saving issue. This isn't some budget friendly trip around the moon. And again, since when has the government ever cared about saving money? Let's be for real. We learned this with Doge. The government is fraudulent, it is corrupt, and they don't care about saving money ever. And certainly when it comes to establishing dominance on the world stage, why wouldn't they spend money on this? They'll spend money on, you know, circumcisions in Zimbabwe or whatever. So, like, really, this is where you're going to cut costs, cut corners. So let's talk about public interest again. I think if we polled the average American taxpayer, and I'll put this in the chat as well. Are you guys interested in us getting boots on the ground? Again, you could just answer me. Are you interested in seeing another astronaut on the moon? If we polled the average person about whether or not they wanted to see astronauts back on the moon, I would assume that they would want to see that. Would they want to see people on the moon or around the moon? And people are saying no. People are not interested in the, in the chat. Nope. No. And then yes, yes. F. Yes. Yes, I am. Boots on the moon. Yes, absolutely yes. Kinda no. F. Yes. Absolutely yes. Yeah, I'm, I'm interested in the nose. Like, why not? Why would you not want to see this again? It was good enough for you to see it in 69 and, and 72. And then you just like, don't care anymore. You don't think it would be cool to see that Again, you don't think other astronauts want to, you know, put their name on a plaque and have their names written in history that they were on the moon? I mean, I. Beyond public interest, I think that astronauts would probably be interested in doing this, too. And, you know, going to the moon is one thing, but then what else? Right? You go to the moon and then, I don't know, like, the possibilities are kind of endless. It's not like it just ends there. The exploration is done. Like, all right, we did everything by. No, I think there's more to learn and more to be seen. If we haven't discovered everything on Earth yet, and we haven't discovered everything in our oceans yet, then, you know, we haven't even scratched the surface of the moon and the universe. So how is there no interest in that? And I think if we're spending almost $100 billion, I don't think it's too much to ask that, you know, prove us wrong. Right? If anyone doesn't believe that we went to the moon in 69 and. And around, then why not prove those people wrong? And again, it's. It would be pricey. But there's other reasons. Not just proving, proving conspiracy theorists wrong. I mean, there are a lot of other reasons to want to go back. And I posted on Tick Tock last night and people were fighting me in the comments saying, well, of course they're not just going to send people to the moon. Like, they have to send people around the moon first. You know, they have to test this stuff. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I don't want to put human beings at risk. And obviously, if it's new technology, then yes, of course, send them around the moon. Send. Do these other things. I get it. Artemis 2, Artemis 3, leading up to Artemis 4. I get that. Um, but why now, right? Why in 2026? Why haven't we been back since? Why are we just testing it now? Like, these are my questions still remain. And President Trump created space Force in 2019. I think President Trump does a lot of things purposefully to make history. And he likes making headlines, positive headlines, and he likes to win. I love that about him. Because as an American, I like to win, too. And he didn't create Space Force for no reason. I think President Trump either wanted to restart the space race or at least invest in it enough to not just compete with our biggest adversaries, but ensure that if we do, we'll be ahead of the curve. And I can get behind that. So are we preparing ourselves to go to the moon for the first time to go back to the moon to assert dominance on the world stage? Or are we going back solely to prove the haters and the conspiracy theorists wrong? I always found it odd that after we won the space race, it seemed that nobody else cared to put a human on the moon. They just let us win. And nobody else wanted to be number two. Nobody wanted to be the second person, the second country to put a person on the moon. It just seems hard to imagine that if there was once a race and this, this need to be the first, no one wants to be the second. I, I don't know. It just seems odd. And if we once had the technology, then you're telling me nobody else had that technology, nobody else could figure it out? I don't know. And if they can figure it out, then why, if they do have the technology, why not go? I guess nobody cares. I can't imagine that nobody cares. That's just like the competitive nature. You want to prove people that you can do it. And I've also heard that we, you know, we had the technology and now we don't, and we could build it again. But the argument is, why spend all the time and energy building it again? I mean, why not, why not keep up with that technology? Again, out of fear that someone else could outdo us eventually. And since the US government doesn't care about, you know, spending or saving money, there's an argument that maybe it's about being environmentally conscious. They don't want to, you know, gas guzzle their way up to the moon just to prove the haters wrong. But I, again, I don't think they care about that either. So I don't know. Clearly, we're taking trips to and around the moon, so I don't think it's an environmentally conscious thing. I don't think it's a climate change, global warming issue. So I want to dive into the moon landing conspiracy just a little bit. What the haters are saying, what the naysayers are saying, what the devil's advocates are saying. But, but first, I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite sponsors, Beam's Dream Powder. If you've listened to me for a while, you already know that dream has been part of my nightly routine for a while. It helps me stay fresh and focused throughout the day. Once I added Beam to my routine, I started sleeping straight through the night and waking up energized.

Stop pretending like you're still in your 20s and you could survive a whole day without a good night's sleep. Place your order for Beam and see the difference. All right, so I'm going to go through and let me just say I spent probably 10 hours yesterday researching the moon landing and different conspiracy theories and how to debunk them and things like that. And let me just say, after 10 hours, I just had to go to bed. It was like 11:15 and I was tired. And this is not even scratching the surface. So there's probably so many that I'm not going to get to today and just know that, you know, maybe there's going to be a part two at some point. But it's. It's a lot to get to. So I just want to go through some of the, some of the conspiracy issues, right? And one of those being the flag moving on the moon's surface, right? The, you know, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, they go to the moon and they are putting. And other members of the Apollo missions, they're putting the flag in the moon's surface. And if, you know anything about the moon and there's no gravity, nothing in the atmosphere, right? Why would the flag move? So we could see. I think we have the video of this. So they're, you know, putting the flag in there. You can see no wind, but it seems that, you know, the flag is sort of moving, not moving there, but as he's sort of putting it in the ground, you can see the flag is waving and then it continues waving. And mythbusters did a thing on this and essentially proved that if you put the flag in the ground, it will move because of the momentum of, you know, spinning it and putting it in the ground. And I think, you know, whether you believe that or not, I think they were able to replicate it. So that's the explanation, right? That is the debunking of the flag moving with no atmosphere. And then there are some issues with the photos, the photographs, and there are some that I'm not even going to touch on today because, like, I didn't get into the whole crosshairs thing on the camera. And there are shadows that are kind of perpendicular to each other. And people say that this is because there's other light sources on the thing and it was at a studio or whatever. I'm not getting into that today. But in this photo of the moon landing from 1969, you could see that there are no stars in the sky. And if anyone knows anything about space, there are stars in the sky. I mean, we can see them from here. So why wouldn't you be able to see them from the moon? And the argument is, some of the conspiracy theorists say that NASA manipulated these images and took the stars out because if they included the stars and it would give away their geolocation. As if, like people, people don't know where the moon is. But whatever. Then they said, and these are, this is where the devil's advocate comes in. They say that the stars are not visible on camera because, you know, and I'm not going to get super technical here, but there are the, with the aperture and the exposure. There are certain, you know, tricks that the camera can play on the eye. And essentially the camera is not going to pick up the stars in the sky. Again, whether you believe that or not. You know, conspiracy theorists have issues with the light source that illuminates the astronaut, but the moon is illuminating. So that's basically the, the argument there that maybe there were no cameras on the, on the surface of the moon because the moon was doing all the illuminating. And again, with a lot of the, well, a lot of the moon landing conspiracy theories. And it's like, well, the average person is never going to know the answer. The, the average person is never going to go to the moon. The average person can never fact check this. You just have to believe what you're told. And with all these different sources of information out there on both sides of this conspiracy theory, you know, whatever the truth is, I don't, I don't know. You just have to believe something. And I really appreciate the scientific explanations for these things. I, I love getting into conspiracy theories, but I'm not like a, some people, I think just want to believe the conspiracy theory until the day that they die. I, I would love to be proved wrong. And I, I like that there are some scientific explanations to these things. But let's talk about the moon rocks brought back. So the Apollo missions go to the moon, they come back with rock from the moon and the United States gifted this moon rock to 135 other countries. And hundreds of them are missing, stolen, they were lost, they were burnt, they were buried. Like, there are so many different issues that happen with this moon rock. And let me just say, and maybe I'm naive, but if the greatest world power went to the moon and brought back rock and gave it to you as a gift, would you not take care of that? Maybe I'm just naive, but you're telling me that 135 countries were given this rock and hundreds are missing. What are the odds of that?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I feels like you put it in a nice case and put it in a museum and don't lose track.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

For sure.

[Haley]

Right. And. And it's. It's not that bad things don't happen to things in museums. Like, things happen. And I think that there would be a lot of public interest around these things and people would want to, you know, evildoers would want to steal it or sell it or whatever. Like, I'm not saying that it's impossible that something bad would happen, but it's just. It's a lot of examples of bad things happening. I mean, how could multiple countries have moonrock go missing? I don't know. It just. It just seems odd to me. Does it seem odd to someone in the chat? It sounds like bullshit to me. Yeah, I. It seems like a really nice gift that you wouldn't want to lose. And someone else on TikTok was fighting me last night and. Okay, again, I've never been to the moon. I don't know what moon rock is supposed to look like. This is another thing that kind of gets me. It's like, how. How would anyone really be. Like, how would a normal person with the naked eye be able to tell if this is moon rock or not? I don't know what the moon looks like.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

If you ask me where this rock is from, I would say the moon, though I don't know why I would think that, but it feels moon.

[Haley]

Could it be faked?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I'm very gullible. I'm not a good person to ask this.

[Haley]

I mean, I am assuming that

[Co-host or Guest 3]

a.

[Haley]

You could make this, you could recreate it. It wouldn't be legitimate, but I mean, this isn't something that is. I don't know, like a crafty person could. Could make it. I'm not saying that I don't believe that it is moon rock. I don't know. But it seems weird. It doesn't look like normal rock. This looks.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

This one. I've Found out hiking for sure.

[Haley]

Yeah. I mean, it. Yeah. It again. What do we know? Nothing. I mean, I don't know. You're telling me like, oh, is this moon rock or not? I've never been there.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Looks a little corally.

[Haley]

Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like the. It looks like it was. You know, this is something you'd find on the beach, like, broken down by water, kind of. It looks kind of like pumice stone, a little bit with holes in it.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I love the idea that we brought back enough that we're like, you get a moon rock. You get a moon rock.

[Haley]

Yeah. And someone in the chat was like, it wasn't a rock. It was a pebble. Okay.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

But still flex.

[Haley]

Okay. Still, someone gives you a pebble from the moon, like, you're just gonna put it in your back pocket. Are you gonna take care of it? I don't know. So anyway, is this real? Is it fake? I don't know. Why do they all look different? Why? Again, I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

That's a good call out. They do all look very different. I mean, granted, there's, like, different rocks. You know, it looks the same, but like, it's. Yeah. Interesting.

[Haley]

Yeah. So someone in the chat said one theory is that the moon rocks were radioactive, so they had to be hidden from the public. I think I read something, and maybe I'm not remembering this correctly, but I think that there was some moon rock that was at a high school, or there was, like, something that was kept at a high school. And then, like, all these kids are getting cancer. I don't know if it was moon rock or something else. It was like, something radioactive.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

No. What?

[Haley]

Hold on. I. I like.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

You can't just drop that.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

I know.

[Haley]

You know, when you. You read. I read so many news stories in a day that.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

It was in New Jersey.

[Haley]

Yeah. And what is it about what was radioactive?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

My mother actually went to that high school.

[Haley]

Is your mom okay?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

It wasn't the years that she.

[Haley]

So what was it?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I don't want to make any speculation, but there was something.

[Haley]

Kids in New Jersey, radiation High school. Okay. I don't know. This is Colonia High School, Woodbridge, New Jersey.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Yeah, that's it.

[Haley]

And a cluster of over 100 former students and staff had brain tumors, but they didn't identify any environmental risks at the site. Well, and they said that there's no radiation found. Okay. Okay. So a high school student brought a radioactive Fiesta wear plate fragment, but that was not related to the colonial high school situation. Okay. I don't know I guess this has nothing to do with moon rock. I'm just putting it together.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Radioactive activity out of their halls. Geez, yeah.

[Haley]

I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Back on the rocks, we've got this article.

[Haley]

Which one? The fact that it was faked.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Yeah.

[Haley]

So, yeah, in the Netherlands, you know, because the Netherlands, that's one of the countries that got our moon pebble. And they found the other day that. Not the other day, this was few years ago. But they found that the moon rock, or the moon pebble that they were given by the United States was actually not rock at all. It was petrified wood. And essentially they didn't question the United States at the time. They just accepted the gift and put it on display at the museum. And then years later, some experts visited the museum and essentially told the museum people, hey, that doesn't look like moon rock. Have you ever tested it? And they said, no, we. We never tested it. The only way that they verified it was on a phone call with NASA. So NASA called them and told them it was real, and they never tested it. So they were realizing, like, oh, I guess we should probably do that. And then they tested it and found that it was petrified wood. So does this mean that the Apollo missions never brought back any space rock? No, it doesn't prove that, and I can't prove that. But was NASA capable of lying? And the United States told the Netherlands they were gifting the moon rock, and they lied. That's seemingly what happened. Again, that doesn't mean that every country got fake rock or pebble, but at least this one was. So we'll see. Let's get into the footprints of it all. So people are wondering how the footprint was. Was made on the moon's surface. And the moon's surface is supposed to be dry. And, you know, I was listening to a podcast about this last night just to sort of refresh my memory on some of the theories and stuff. And if the surface is dry and you're thinking about, you know, how we're walking on a beach. Like, if you were walking on a beach in these same moon boots, unless the sand was wet, it wouldn't really leave a print. Unless the surface was kind of like clay, like. And if you walk on the sand and it's dry, you could walk in a very rugged, rigid boot, and it still wouldn't, like, the sand would fall into place and the footprint wouldn't be left behind. So apparently sand particles on Earth are rounded because of erosion. And the moon surface is not like that. It is much Different. So it's, it's not smooth. And therefore the structures can kind of take the shape of a footprint. And then another argument by the conspiracy theorists is that the surface of the Moon is dusty, but the boots never look dusty. Like, it wasn't like a cloud of dust when they were jumping around. There was no dust kick up, and there was no crater left by the aircraft on the Moon's surface. Because. And according to, you know, the naysayers and the science people, they say that there wasn't enough pressure to do that. And essentially the answer to all of these theories and questions is, well, it's different on the Moon. And that's true. Like any argument that the conspiracy theorists have can just be sort of explained away by, well, you wouldn't get it because you don't know what it's like to be on the Moon. You only know what it's like to be on Earth. And what you know, on Earth doesn't apply here. And let's get into the. The footprint and the boot. So this doesn't match. People bring this up all the time that this is the, the space suit that they were wearing and the boots on the bottom, they do not have that same rigid that, you know, bought a shoe bottom that you see on the footprint on the Moon. And that is because they were wearing spacesuits, but then they also had overboots that went on top of the spacesuit. So the footprint is from the overboot. And the reason why the overboots are not in the Smithsonian is because apparently the astronauts on the Apollo mission, they wanted to offload some of the weight on the aircraft. So apparently they left 4,400,000 pounds of stuff on the moon. When they went, they wanted to offload some of the weight which they came up with. So again, do I know what I'm talking about? No. For the 50 bajillionth time. Am I an expert? No. Am I a scientist? No. But if you could make it up with that much, you had to offload £400,000 of stuff. So what they offloaded was the overboots. They left all the overboots up on the moon, and they also left 96 bags of human waste. So they had all of the poop that they had on their trip up, and they put it in bags. And apparently they left 96 bags of poop on the moon's surface. And now, of course, it's frozen. But then I wonder, you know, the moon is apparently like 400,000 negative degrees at night, and then it gets really Hot also. So it's like, is the poop just petrified now because it's been so many years, or does it get like hot, cold, hot, cold? Is it like melting and then freezing and then melting and then freezing? I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

That's actually why we're going back. They may need to figure out what's going on up there.

[Haley]

No, they. And here's the thing. If anything, go back up to the moon to pick up your trash. Rude. We need to be good stewards of this planet that we're on now. And then you're gonna go explore another moon and you're gonna just leave your crap everywhere.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Well, if anything can grow on the moon, that would be good.

[Haley]

Fertilizer, maybe.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I think they left stuff so they could bring back all their test samples. I believe so.

[Haley]

They also. Not only did they leave bags of poop, which again, it just pisses me off. And then maybe did they do that, Cuz they thought Russia was right behind them. And they were like, oh, we'll just leave all of our bags of shit here, so then Russia can. And then nobody ever came, so they just left. They just like left their poop up there. I just think that that's. I mean, have some respect, you know. Why am I hearing my ending music in my ear?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I have no idea.

[Haley]

Is everyone hearing that or is that just me? I guess we'll see.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Might have just been you.

[Haley]

Maybe it's just. Maybe I'm seeing things and hearing things. But they also left cameras and other rovers and lunar modules and things on the moon. So again, like £400,000 of stuff. It wasn't just poop and the overboots. But I do think it's weird that, like, they didn't bring back the overboots. Again, I'm just asking questions, but I think that's odd. And another theory is that this was all staged and it was a movie set. And theories about Stanley Kubrick, that he was hired by NASA to fake the moon landing in a studio after the movie 2001 Space Odyssey came out. And he has denied this, his family has denied this. But then later in his career, he was given NASA camera lenses to film a movie. And does anyone else think that's weird? I don't know. Like Stanley Kubrick and this lens that was developed by NASA's Apollo Lunar Program. He. He used it because he wanted to shoot in like a candlelit scene in a 1975 film. If I was NASA, I'd be like, figure it out, dude. Like, why? Why do you need r. Why do you need our cameras? And I don't know, it just seems odd to me that you would, I don't know, like, is that weird? Anyone else? Also, our government is actively involved in Hollywood. We know this. They want to make sure that the government is portrayed in a positive light or an accurate light. They want to ensure accuracy. And kinds of action and spy movies like the CIA worked on, you know, Zero Dark Thirty and things like that. And NASA claims to not operate a film studio per se, but they do help film productions and they let them film at their facilities and things like that. And then the CIA operates a formal entertainment industry liaison office. This is out of their Office of Public Public Affairs. And they too work with filmmakers and, you know, TV producers and writers and stuff. And it's not that, you know, they're making their own movies, although they could. The department works very closely with Hollywood. They, they approve scripts and they consult on scripts. They give technical advice and things like that. So, you know, they want to make sure the agency looks good. And I can understand that. That's, you know, it's propaganda, right? Here's another thing that I find odd is the phone call from the Oval Office to the moon using a landline. And I've looked into it. I know that there's scientific explanations for all of it. It's the microwaves, the radio waves. They were able to get, you know, President Nixon's voice all the way to the moon. And they say that there was only a three second delay. And you guys know more about audio and delays and things than I do. But if you've ever watched the news, which we all have, you ever see an anchor throw to a reporter out in the field and there's a, there's a delay, sometimes it's a two second delay, but it's bad. And it's like, you know, for more, you know, reporter, what's her face is like out in the field. And then, you know, she's standing there like this for an awkward few seconds and then she's like, thanks, Bill, whatever, blah, blah, blah. And then they, they, there's that lag. And that happens when both parties are on the same planet in 2026. And apparently in this moon landing situation, it was like only a second longer delay. Going all the way to the moon and back versus, you know, in the same town in a local news station. Like, how can there be that bad of a delay? Do you think that that's odd?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know. A ton about the technology. At the time I didn't know it was a three second. So I'm like still mentally processing this information.

[Haley]

They're saying it was a three second delay versus a, honestly like a two second delay that we see now.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I know like video signal and audio signal, especially radio signal travel very differently.

[Haley]

People are saying it's completely different technology. My point is, after 60 years, wouldn't we not have a delay? Like, wouldn't we not have the, like. If you could call the moon and back in three seconds, then why are we still dealing with this issue today? Wouldn't we? I don't know. Again, I'm not an expert. I'm just saying these are questions that I have and I'm not the only person that has these questions. But anyway, let's get into scrolling time. So what do we have first there? Did you know that you remember in Minneapolis when all these libtards were going around and they were stalking ICE agents and then they were stalking people that they thought were ICE agents? And it was just if you had a certain kind of car, they were following you around and try to dox you and take your license plate and things like that. This is actually still happening as of two days ago in Providence, Rhode Island. So this woman in Providence, Rhode island, she has a Dodge Durango and she has had her windows tinted. She said it's a 4% tint. And she says that there are people still targeting her to, to this day. So here she is, there's this guy, he's got a beret on. Of course he's out there. He's one of these legal observers. So here he is doing his job. I don't know what his real job is, but look at him. Look at him tapping on the window. Roll down, roll down your window. Who are you to ask me to roll down my window? If this happened to me, I'd drive off. Oh, look at him filming inside of her car. Eddie's asking, are you ice? Are you ice? Now he's tipping off the people around him like, oh, come here, come here and film this.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Or people over here.

[Haley]

So I have to circle the block again. And this woman just gets a kick out of it. Like she keeps filming these people and she's tinted so she can't, they can't see that she's filming them back. But it is so funny. Like what?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Solid tent, losers.

[Haley]

Yeah, it is a solid tent. She actually posted a picture of it and it's like completely black. You can't see someone in the Chat said pepper spray. Shut it. Grandpa doesn't have a real job. I'd give him the finger. He can't see it. The windows are tinted. Please show any sign of identification.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Asking for identification as a civilian.

[Haley]

Right. It is crazy. Like, step out of the vehicle. Put your hands behind your back. Like, who are you? What are you?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Step out of the vehicle. My name's Mark.

[Haley]

Yeah, here's another one. Roll down your window. Roll down your window.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Are you Ice? Look at him. He's tough.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Just Trevor asking you to roll down your way. Like what?

[Haley]

Just some dude in like, a varsity jacket. Roll down your window. No, actually, for the past years, they have been taking people from the Garhouse. Can you imagine? Just you're a normal person trying to go about your day in this city. You're trying to ride your car around, do whatever errands you have to run, go to work. You have these idiots screaming and then they're alerting their friends who are also in the area. Like, how many of these paid protesters or paid legal observers are. Are out looking for Ice still? It's April. It's insane. She's absolutely insane. Now, you know, in 2026, we have to assume that we're always being filmed. And we have to assume that if someone comes up to you with a camera and a microphone in your face, that this is going to maybe be some kind of a shock jock sort of interview. People want to get views on social media. You accept the fact that if you enter into this conversation and this interview, it is going to go online. And you also just have to assume that people might not have the best intentions. Like, people want to make you look stupid so that they go viral. Anyway, these MAGA people went undercover and they interviewed this woman. Watch.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Have you not heard about Alligator Alcatraz?

[Haley]

Yeah, yeah. It's here in Florida, actually.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Fascist. I know. It's like a concentration camp.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

It is literally a concentration camp.

[Haley]

It's what the Nazis did.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

It's literally they're gassing people in Alligator Alcatraz.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Now, I don't know if they're gassing people, but kids are definitely getting hurt. They're hurt. Just like at the Daily center in Texas.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Wow.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern. How much more proof do we need?

[Haley]

But then why is your hair red

[Co-host or Guest 2]

if you're not maga?

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Is that a serious question?

[Haley]

Yeah, your hair's red and Donald Trump is red.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

So you guys aren't actually interviewing in good faith?

[Haley]

No, it's an April Fool's drop. We're Donald Trump supporters.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

That makes a lot of sense.

[Haley]

Yeah, you love our president.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

And why have you not heard about alligator Alcatraz? Alligator, alligator, alligator Alcatraz, Alcatraz.

[Haley]

And why is your hair red? So they got her, right? April Fool's joke. They figured, you know, we'll just talk to this liberal, trigger her a little bit and then tell her at the end that we're Trump supporters. Now, this woman took to TikTok afterwards to cry about it. Watch.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

I let myself get baited into one of those bad faith interviews with two MAGA influencers. I was going to the beach at the pier because I got into an argument with my mom and that's my safe space.

[Haley]

I go to the beach, oh, it's her safe space.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

And they had like no kings dump Trump.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I legitimately about said at least she was a good sport about it.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

And they were like, oh, April fools, we're actually maga. And I know better, I know better than to try to argue with people who are arguing in bad faith. And now there's at least 15 minutes, it might have been 30, I have no idea. Footage of me yelling on the pier, crying, arguing with these fucking assholes. And the only people that stopped by while I was like literally crying, talking about the detention centers and the war were Trump support. Finally ended the conversation. She surrounded all the ice on me and I was walking back to my car, hyperventilating, sobbing, and not a single person, not a single person checks. Are you okay? You know, like what happens?

[Haley]

Well, at least she didn't overreact.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Bring back taking an L gracefully.

[Haley]

In today's day and age though, it's just if something bad happens to you and I. The word bad, I use that word lightly. Like, what happened to her was not bad, it was a joke. And honestly, why is anyone accepting one of these man on the street interviews these days anyway? Knowing that this is obviously going to be put on the Internet and they probably want to make you look stupid. So you kind of have to be a little narcissistic to think that you can kind of beat the system and beat these people that are making using you for content. But she entered into the conversation with them and like most liberals, they want to change the minds of the people that they're talking to. They are. They don't want to be open to the other side. They want to prove everyone wrong. And that's what she did. She wanted to do that. And then, you know, she got played. And the knee jerk reaction for all these liberals is to go straight to TikTok or Instagram or whatever. They go on social media, their platform of choice, and they start crying. Because if you start crying, then you get sympathy. And I was going through the comment section, everyone's like, you did the right thing. You know, you were, you didn't do anything wrong. You were just teaching them about the concentration camps and blah, blah, blah. Like, and this is why she went on the Internet to start crying. Anyway, speaking of April Fool's jokes, this is my favorite. This is Waymo.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

I've never felt so humbled. I get into my Waymo, currently in my Waymo, and it goes, hey, we need you to hum for 10 seconds to calibrate the microphone. So I'm like, okay, like, like going. And then it goes. April Fools. Oh, that was so humbling. If someone had that footage.

[Haley]

They do, girl, that. Oh, my God. What do you mean if they have the footage? Of course they do. The whole thing's got cameras on it and in it. They know when someone doesn't have their seatbelt on. They know when people are, you know, hanging their heads out the windows and things. Of course they're filming it. That's hilarious. I hope that they put together a video of all the people humming. Like, I have to check for that to see if Waymo posted it. If there's a video of all the people that they pranked, that's hilarious. And honestly, if I got into self driving car, I'm listening to whatever the robot says, I want to get out of this thing alive. So if you tell me to dance, I'm going to dance. You tell me to hum, I'm going to hum. You tell me to sing, I'm going to sing.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I'm showing Waymo my mixtape.

[Haley]

Yeah, totally. I thought that was funny. All right, here's another prank. This college girl, her roommates, they said, and they got her mom on in on it too. They pranked her saying that she has been drafted to war. Watch. What? No, this is a joke.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

What? What is it? Armed forces? No, no, mom, this has to be a joke, right? If that's the thing that gets me

[Haley]

into the army, Mom.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Okay, they're kidding. They're kidding. They're kidding. They're kidding. They're kidding. No, she's crying now she starts crying.

[Haley]

Crying, no.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Cry.

[Haley]

No. This is a brutal prank. But you got to wonder, would the US Military call your mom to tell you that you were drafted and would your mom have to call you and tell you? Or do you think the military would probably go to you directly.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Yeah, it's definitely right to. Yeah. Not. There's no middleman.

[Haley]

Yeah. Hey, can you pass along this message to your daughter? We. We want her to go strap up and put. Put her boots on and go to war. You just pass the message along. You got to think, you know, in this moment. But I don't think these college kids are thinking much. And this is a prime example of open the schools because these people, they're in college. I don't know how they got in, but I. They have a lot to learn still. Watch.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Who is the first woman president?

[Haley]

Harriet Tubman. Rosa Parks. What state shares Niagara Falls with Canada? I. Rhode Island. New Jersey. I know. What year was the declaration signed? 1976.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

What is the boat called that the pilgrims came here on Boston Tea?

[Haley]

Name three founding fathers. George Washington. Abraham Lincoln. Who is the first person to walk on the moon? Bill Armstrong.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

What is the Emancipation Proclamation?

[Haley]

Emancipation. Ain't that like where they ink like you can. They can like fire you from your jaw. What was the first English colony?

[Co-host or Guest 3]

The Mayflower.

[Haley]

The first colony is the Mayflower. The boat is the Boston Tea. Didn't she say Harriet Tubman was the first woman president? She doesn't even know that. We haven't had one of those yet.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

That's a tough watch.

[Haley]

Really brutal. Yeah, it was a tough watch. Everyone in the chat is saying, this is sad. Wow. Someone said, it's good that she's pretty.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

First two are funny.

[Haley]

Last seven, you're just like, you don't know anything. I saw one of the comments. It was like, girl, I'm bored. Let's go back to middle school. She needs it. This next one, this is very funny. This is. Did you put a montage together of the these different examples?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Believe so.

[Haley]

Okay. Yeah. Because geek put the show together today. So I don't know what he has for me. But I put together. There's a trend now. Parents are going on social media. They are asking their kids, if I go missing, how would you describe me to the police officers? And this is what the kids are saying, watch. If I was missing and I needed to describe me, you needed to describe me to the police, what would you say?

[Co-host or Guest 3]

She likes McDonald's.

[Haley]

She has hair that turned from blonde to black. She farts pretty loud.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

So I think you'll smell it out or your canine will. I say you have red clothes and you are brown, and you have big brown feet. And you.

[Haley]

And your hair is beautiful.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Okay, Zeke. And you. She has brown skin, black hair, long hair. She's five foot Something. She has big feet.

[Haley]

Very helpful.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

She has brown eyes. She has a big nose. Yeah. Her tummy feels like a squishy. Oh, what pillow? Squishy pillow. And that.

[Haley]

Your.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

Your skin is super soft and your arms do a little jiggle.

[Haley]

Leave it to the kids. The kids say the darndest things. And none of these parents are getting saved if they ask their children for a description. Have you ever seen that funny meme? I don't know if it's a meme or if it's real, but that, like, police sketch. And it's just kind of like a stick figure. Like, this is what they would end up with, a stick figure. Her farts smell really bad. She has big feet. She's got a big nose. Her stomach's jiggly. Her arms are jiggly. Good luck. Good luck finding these. These parents. All right, let's get into blind reactions. They are not on the back. So I. I'm just. There's no context here. I'm blind, reacting.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Oh, I can give you context.

[Haley]

Oh, give me context, then. All right, please.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

This is if I were to get in a street fight. So here you go.

[Haley]

All right. Call the police. Leave it to the cyclists to be beta losers. Look at his reaction. Do you see this? This motion from the cyclist? He's like, come at. Come closer to me. My legs aren't long enough. Actually.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

The cowboy didn't flinch.

[Haley]

No.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Terrifying.

[Haley]

And the cowboy kind of, like, was taken aback. Are these people in their spandex, in their nylon really coming for me?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I think every person on the whole universe knows that the cyclists were definitely in the wrong, no matter what.

[Haley]

Probably. I don't. I don't even need to see what happened. I don't need any contacts. I know that the cyclists are wrong. That's how I feel when I see cyclists. I wanted to just.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Always driving in the middle of the road.

[Haley]

Always. Always. Again, Elon Musk, Colonize Mars. Send them all up there. Cycle around all you want, but I. I hate them on the road. You all know how I feel about that. All right, blind reaction number two.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

All right, this one is titled Liberals or For Women Being a Man.

[Haley]

How did he become a liberal? Normal men. Liberals are for women, not for men.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

How did you become a liberal?

[Co-host or Guest 2]

Oh, I don't agree with that at all.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Are you a beta male?

[Co-host or Guest 2]

What is a beta male?

[Haley]

A liberal.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

How is a beta male a liberal?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

They tend to be weak.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

Oh, well, I. I can't define myself in those terms.

[Haley]

Oh, well, I would. I love how he's like, what's a beta male? Really? Really? You don't know what a beta male is? Well, it's a liberal. You know exactly what it is. I would say that most liberal men are beta males. I don't really know any strong, burly men, manly men who are liberals, but I don't know. Do you have another one for me?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Oh, I got two more. So this one. This one is a classic Haley cat video.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

Here you go.

[Haley]

Great. The cat knew it was a house puppy not built for the streets. And there's a cat dog squaring up. The dog's barking at it. Oh, that's how it took. The cat just needed to give him a little, and then he. He went squealing away. Squealing like a pig. I love that. My dad told me a story once when he was little. He was babysitting my aunt, who was even smaller, and they were in the front yard, and they had a cat growing up, and there was a neighborhood dog that came and started running for my aunt, and their cat scared the dog away, so saved my aunt.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

There you go. A true hero. All right.

[Haley]

People say that cats aren't loyal. They are very loyal.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Here's the last one. And this one, I'm not even gonna tee you up. This is just 10 out of 10.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

In order to turn hot dogs into delicious alcohol, I needed a way to extract the hot dog flavor into something fermentable. Surprisingly, hot dog wine is an understudied subject.

[Haley]

Oh, come on.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

Hot dogs could be littered with harmful spores of bacteria. We're gonna opt for just using the hot dog water. But don't worry, the hot dogs will come into play later.

[Haley]

Once I had a concentrated pot of

[Co-host or Guest 2]

hot dog water, it was time to sterilize it with a pressure cooker, which will kill any trace of microbes. Now, from here, it's business as usual, and our hot dog water can be used as a base for a meat. I started with a few pounds of honey, enough to supply enough sugar to hit 16% alcohol. And now with our hot dog water added to the mix, all that was left to do was add our yeast and let this hot doggy mix ferment for 30 days. Which it did. And this isn't exactly what my meat kit was intended for, but it actually worked surprisingly well. And the good news is, it did, in fact, hit 16%. The only issue is the hot dog flavor was lacking. But luckily, there is a way to intensify it. I grabbed hot dogs to do something. Fats, intensity proof spirits to Break them down and almost emulsify them and absorb all the flavor. Then that flavor infused spirit can be added to our mead to amplify the hot dogginess and the strength. At this point, we're at 21% and our hot dog alcohol is finally ready. Now all that's left to do is have a taste. If you could collect the liquid that's at the bottom of the garbage bin

[Co-host or Guest 1]

at a baseball game.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest 2]

That is what we're drinking right now.

[Haley]

Right?

[Co-host or Guest 2]

The final product was sweet like honey, with a distinct briny aftertaste of hot dogs that made me question my life decisions and realize that just I can do something definitely does not mean that I should.

[Haley]

I wonder how long that took. Did they say in the video? No, but my favorite part is when he said that the hot dog wine didn't taste enough like hot dogs and they had to bring in the big guns. More hot dogs.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

I love a good hot dog.

[Haley]

Me too.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

At no point have I been like, I wish I could drink this.

[Haley]

No, never. You know, they're good for eating. And it's also one of those food products, so you don't want to know where it came from. You don't want to know exactly what you're eating. It's like, just close your eyes, enjoy it. Don't ask questions. You know, like, no one wants to know the origins of a hot dog. No one needs to know what they've put in it. It's just, just enjoy it.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

And yeah, shopping for hot dogs is tough because each package is like, this one kind of has meat and this one has realer meat than the one next to it. But not.

[Haley]

No, hot dogs is the one. I, I read ingredient lists. I, I read the nutrition labels. I do hot dogs, which I really haven't eaten. A hot dog. I never make hot dogs at home. Actually, you shouldn't.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Yeah, it's an out food.

[Haley]

It's a, it's a ballpark food. For sure. It is a concert venue food. It is. I'm drunk, I'm hungry, and this looks really good right now.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

The chat gets. It's a Costco food. A Costco hot dog.

[Haley]

It's like a little roll. I've never had a Costco hot dog.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Are you serious right now?

[Haley]

Yeah, I think, I don't think I

[Co-host or Guest 1]

have a Costco membership. That's a first step.

[Haley]

No.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

All right. We'll have to take a field trip one day and go get Costco dollars.

[Haley]

Another damn field trip for this show. We're going to Alligator Alcatraz. We're going to Old State Saloon in Idaho. We're going to, we're, we're going to the Tesla Diner. We're going to Costco, which is easier said than done. We're going on a Waymo trip.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

We're like the magic school bus. If the magic school bus never left the school, the trips never make it

[Haley]

out of the group chat. But we, we have them all lined up. We're ready to go. Well, I have a few minutes left here, so I'm going to answer some of the questions that people had on my Instagram. I will say some people ask me really stupid questions and depending on the day, it makes me very angry. People ask me, are the Knicks going to win the championship this year? I don't know. And what do I know? You all saw me fill out the March Madness bracket. I have no idea anything about teams or who's good or what. I don't know anything about the NBA. I don't watch the NBA.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

For the record, her brackets pretty dece.

[Haley]

Is it still?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

It's, it's a, it was a mess of a year and somehow you've done all right.

[Haley]

Nice. Where are we at in the March Madness now?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Final Fours this weekend.

[Haley]

Okay, I did hear that on TikTok.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

So,

[Haley]

you know, people ask me, how is the Supreme Court going to rule on, on blah, blah, blah? I don't know. Someone asked me, where should singles meet people? You're asking the wrong girl. I don't know, like, what the heck? You didn't ask. You didn't answer my question from last week. Well, it was stupid. Okay, so let's get into the good questions. Someone asked me, how long do you prep for the show? And on a normal day, I would say probably six hours. Now last night was probably 10 or 11 hours. I really did do a deep dive on the moon stuff. And I again, didn't even scratch the surface. Now when I, when the show is at 6pm it would take me four or five hours because I had a deadline, right? I had to get the show done by a certain time before the show. And it was, I had to wake up, do the show. And the show is that day now that the show ends at one. And then I got, you know, all day and night to do it. And then the morning it's. I take all of that time now. So I, I do need to be better about setting a limit because I end up doing it until, you know, I start at like 2pm, take a quick break to, you know, eat something, and then It's. I do it all night until I fall asleep. So anyway, I need to work on my social life. But someone asked me the oldest memory I have as a kid and I, I think I was probably three. But I, I do have, I do have a lot of memories. I have memories of doing things with my family and my mom and like baking cookies and doing things like that. I remember I would make pesto with my mom. We would grow the basil and then. And make pesto. I vividly remember doing that. I remember my uncle taking me on my first train ride. Like, I think all of these were around like two and a half, three. So I do remember that. But nothing before then. Just. Just a blur. It's just a blur. Someone asked me, if I had to live outside of the country for three months, where would it be? And I think probably Italy. I feel like Italy is a good place to spend three months because you could go all over and there's lots of things to see and do and yeah, I've never been to Rome. So if I were to go back to Italy, I would have to hit the places that I didn't hit the last time. So I would do that. And then someone asked me the my three favorite ways to show self love, which sounds like a liberal thing to do. I don't really know what that means. I don't know what self love is.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Let's rephrase it. If you had a day that you could do anything you wanted that like would make you happy, I think that's the question.

[Haley]

I love spending time with my friends. I love going to the beach. So perfect day would be get up, go for a nice long walk or go to the gym, like work out. That's how I like to start my day, get an iced coffee. Because there's something like on the weekends I make coffee at home during the week and stuff. But on the weekends I like to go and feel that plastic. I just, I love cold. Cold brew tastes better with a plastic straw. I love the plastic. So on the weekends I treat myself

[Co-host or Guest 3]

and

[Haley]

what will I, what will I do next? Go to the beach, get tan or go to the pool, get tan, read a book, go to dinner with my friends, go out for a drink or something. I feel like that's fun. It's a good day. It's a good weekend day. Someone said my favorite and least favorite thing about doing social media filming it is great. And then having to sit down and edit it is annoying. Like I'll film videos and then I never edit them. And then I just never post them. And I need to be better about that. And I used to make a lot more social media videos. Just reactions to news stories and stuff. I have to just be better about doing that. But, you know, it is what it is. Least favorite thing, Just people being annoying. Someone asked me, how do I unwind from being on social media. I don't. I'm on social media all day long. Let's see what my screen time is. Well, I guess it's gonna be low because it's only 1pm and the. The night is young. But let's see. Sometimes it's about 16 hours, which is really scary. Okay. It says daily average 11 hours, 37 minutes. So it was down 7% from last week. It's not too bad if I'm spending 10 hours last night prepping for the show. Yeah, I'm gonna be on my phone 12 hours. 11 hours.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

12 hours.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

You've doubled mine. And I thought mine was high.

[Haley]

Oh, no. I've had days that were 16 plus hours.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Do your eyes hurt ever?

[Haley]

Nope. And I don't get dry eye either.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Good for you.

[Haley]

I'm just built different.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

How much of that is Netflix?

[Haley]

I don't really watch tv. Yeah, I don't. I just scroll on my phone because it's like I need constant content for the show. So I'm like constantly scrolling. Last question. Which I think I'm going to drop some lore that you guys are not going to believe, but I promise that I'm telling the truth. So someone asked me, would you rather have spaghetti for hair or burp every time before you talk? And I have never burped in my life.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

You're looking at me like I'm gonna call your bluff. I don't know.

[Haley]

I have never burped in my life.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

It feels impossible, but I have no proof.

[Haley]

You just asked me why. I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

He said lies.

[Haley]

Oh, lie why is probably a good

[Co-host or Guest 1]

question to ask as well.

[Haley]

No, I'm not lying. I don't even know what it feels like to burp. I have never burped. Like, I could drink soda and I don't burp. And yeah, I've just. I don't know what it feels like. I know people kind of like fake burp or they can make themselves burp. I don't know how to do that either.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

That's probably for the best. But you've never, like, popped open a cold Coca Cola, chug that bad boy and just like, let one rip?

[Haley]

No. No, never. And people are saying in the chat, your mom burped you as a baby. Okay, maybe, but it's not like burping as a baby is.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

She just said her last memory was three, so she. She missed those ones.

[Haley]

And then people are insinuating that I'm burping in my sleep. I don't know. I guess I could be, but I've never burped. I don't know what it feels like. And I was scrolling on TikTok. This is probably about, I don't know, maybe six months ago. And some other person said, I've never burped in my life. And the amount of comments are of people saying, thousands of people saying I'm the same way. I've never burped. I felt so seen. And apparently it is called rcpd. And I've never gotten diagnosed, so I don't know if I have this or maybe I'm just not burping for another reason.

[Co-host or Guest 3]

I don't know.

[Haley]

But apparently doctors just figured this out and called it rcpd, which is obviously an acronym for whatever, some scientific term. They discovered this in 2018, so it's very new, and they're still doing a lot of research on it. And what they're saying is that you can sort of cure this by getting Botox in your neck, like, in your esophagus, basically. Because the reason why people are not burping is because whatever the. You know, it's just like not being released for whatever reason. They're saying that the muscle is almost like too constricted for whatever reason. And I know this sounds counterintuitive, but the Botox would almost release that airwave or that. Why am I not thinking of the word airway? Airway, yeah. So am I interested in burping? Not really. So I'm not gonna get treated.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

But anyway, Google AI says it's not inherently dangerous if you can't burp, but it could cause a lower quality of life.

[Haley]

I think my life is great. And someone Star wars fan in the chat said, haley, please film Birdie reacting to your burping. I've never burped, so how can I film her?

[Co-host or Guest 1]

It's going to happen one day and you're going to panic.

[Haley]

I wonder what would trigger it, though.

[Co-host or Guest 1]

Absolute crash out.

[Haley]

And I really don't drink soda that often, but I do drink it when I go to the movie theater, and I've never. I've. I've gotten a huge soda, and I don't. I don't burp anyway. Believe me or don't. Have a great weekend, everyone, and happy Easter. Bye. Foreign.
