Episode Overview

In this episode, Hayley Caronia delivers her trademark direct and sardonic conservative commentary on current cultural and political hot topics. The conversation focuses primarily on the fallout from the Los Angeles mayoral race, the influence of identity politics, questionable mail-in voting practices in California, and the ongoing debates over Pride Month corporate activism. With spirited banter, candid critiques, and pointed questions about societal values, Hayley further explores generational divides around technology and privacy, then ends with lighter fare on animal psychics and cat sexuality.

Key Discussion Points

1. LA Mayoral Race: Identity Politics & Election Integrity

• Spencer Pratt’s Loss: Hayley expresses disappointment but not surprise at Spencer Pratt’s elimination from the LA mayoral race, attributing his loss to Democrat strategies tying him to the Republican Party and how that damages outsider candidates in deep-blue cities.
• Mail-In Voting Dynamics: Explains how LA’s system gives a significant edge to Democratic candidates, with the majority of mail-in votes processed after Election Day—which she frames as a deliberate advantage ("Democrats are the ones who likely vote mail in ballots, and more than 93% of the vote is already counted. Spencer Pratt can't come back." – [06:46]).
• Identity over Policy: Critiques LA voters for purportedly prioritizing candidates' racial or ethnic identity over platforms or performance:
  • “Democrats only care about skin color and instead. And sex, of course.” – Hayley ([08:19])
  • Notable street interviews reveal voters supporting Karen Bass “because she’s Black” ([09:01–09:16]) and Nithya Rahman “because she’s Indian and I’m South Asian” ([10:07–11:03]).
  • Hayley calls out the apparent hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness (“…he doesn’t see the hypocrisy in the moment. Just like 30 seconds later, not even. It’s almost as if it’s scripted, but it’s not. That’s the wild part.” – [12:20])
• Future of ‘Straight White Males’ in Democrat Politics: Hayley argues that, especially in strongholds like California, straight white male Democrat candidates are “a dying breed,” and identity politics rule the day ([15:10]).

2. Questions About Election Integrity

• Voter Rolls Irregularities: References a viral video where a 126-year-old person is allegedly still on the rolls, illustrating problems with inaccuracy and potential vulnerability for ballot abuse ([17:18–18:43]).
• Concerns over Mail-In Ballots & Certification Delays:
  • Cites California law allowing ballots to be backdated by hand, which she accuses of creating a “potential for fraud.” ([22:30–23:52])
  • Advocates for abolishing universal mail-in voting (“…get everyone to the polls on Election Day. Businesses should make more accommodations for employees to go vote. It’s one day, it doesn't take long.” – [24:46])
• Highlighting the Time Lag: Points to the slow vote counting in California, comparing it (facetiously) to watching The Office nine times, walking from LA to San Francisco four times, or the entire Cuban Missile Crisis duration ([27:31–29:10]).

3. Corporate Pride Month Pandering

• Cartoon Network: Criticizes its Pride Month messaging for being performative, and for comments about LGBTQ+ representation in children’s programming ([31:12–34:23]).
  • “None of the companies give a rip about gay, queer trans people. They care about not losing their money and the money of the cancel culture mob…” – Hayley ([31:22])
  • Ridicules adult fans who claim Cartoon Network was “my everything,” and objects to any romance—straight or gay—in kids’ media: “I do not see a reason for any romantic or sexual content for kids ever. It made me uncomfortable as a kid…” ([35:04])
• HelloFresh Pride Campaign: Mocks the company for a risqué Pride campaign (“Bottoms up” promo code) targeting gay men, and for a subsequent anti-Trump joke.
  • “This is a food company talking about poop trying to sell food and buttholes trying to sell food. And also, of course, trying to capitalize on the people who hate Trump.” – Hayley ([41:43])
  • Questions if such targeted politics will alienate customers—and suggests the observed online support may not translate to business results ([44:07–44:24]).

4. Generational Divide: Sharing Location Data

• New York Times Debate: A NYT article suggests location-sharing is “abhorrent” to anyone over 35. Hayley (and a producer) discuss how younger adults normalize sharing locations with partners and friends, raising privacy and trust issues.
  • Sharing for safety vs. control—Hayley is “pro-sharing locations,” especially among women for safety, but draws the line at sharing on first dates ([48:13–51:02]).
  • Acknowledges “stalker” concerns among some listeners, and the generational split between seeing it as practical or invasive ([53:08]).

5. Lighthearted Segment: Cat Psychic Explains ‘Gay’ Cat’s Needs

• Shares a viral video of a self-described pet psychic “communicating” with a tuxedo cat, Oslo, who allegedly requests a male companion because he identifies as gay. Hayley and her team lampoon the story:
  • “And they’re going to get it. Everyone – happy Pride, everyone. Everyone in the chat is saying, ‘What a nut case. She needs mental health. She talks to herself. This isn’t real life.’ Pride, everyone.” ([57:42–58:04])
  • Lively banter over the legitimacy and price of animal psychic services (“250 a session, easy.” – [58:38]), and speculation over their own pets’ imaginary sexuality.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On LA Voters & Identity:
  "Instead of voting down party lines, they vote based whether or not their own skin color matches that of the candidate." – Hayley ([08:31])
• On Policy vs. Identity:
  “White people do not vote for Trump because he’s white. People voted for Trump for a billion other reasons. I’ve never thought of Trump’s skin color…” – Hayley ([11:16])
• On Corporate Virtue-Signaling:
  “None of the companies give a rip about gay, queer trans people. They care about not losing their money and the money of the cancel culture mob social justice warrior virtue signalers.” – Hayley ([31:21])
• On Romance in Kids’ Media:
  “I would be completely fine with absolutely no romance ever in cartoons…there’s no reason for children’s content to promote that or encourage it or shape that process in any way.” – Hayley ([35:06])
• On Mail-in Voting:
  “I think the only option to secure elections is to get rid of mail in ballots completely…sending a bunch of ballots to a house...the option for something to go wrong is there.” – Hayley ([24:46])
• On Location Sharing in Relationships:
  “You can’t take it back once you decide to share locations. You can’t be like, ‘yeah, I’m not really into this anymore.’ Because then it’s like, well, why not?” – Hayley ([46:39])

Transcript

[A]

Welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Karenia. And it is so good to be back. Can I just say, because we were on tape yesterday, it is so good to be back in the chair, back in the studio, back with my producers who are yapping and having personal conversations that are distracting me. But that's okay. That's okay. I love to be back, love to see everyone. I had a great weekend. I was in Newport, Rhode island, this weekend with my best friend Liz, who's getting married. I'm her maid of honor. And I. All the stress is gone now. I could just relax, you know, having to plan a bachelorette, it's a lot of work. It's wrangling cats. There were 12 women, and I had to make sure that 12 women were ready for our brunch reservation, ready for our lunch reservation, ready for our dinner reservation, ready to get on the boat. So I, I, I was just saying all weekend, I'm so sorry, I hate to be the one to crack the whip, but I have to crack the whip. And then as soon as we got to our last dinner reservation, I said, I'm done cracking the whip. I'm going to have two glasses of wine. And it was very nice. I got to enjoy the very. No, I enjoyed the whole trip. But the last, last of the reservations, I was like, okay, now I can relax. We don't have anywhere to go. It was great. Airbnb was great. Had a little bit of an ant problem and they had like traps out, but it was like, kind of gross. I had to vacuum up, like, probably 50 ants.

[B]

That feels like a four star review.

[A]

I did give a four star review. I did give a nice review, but I did say cleanliness was a 3 because of the ants. And there was a couch that had some questionable stains on them downstairs. I just had to say, I just had to let them know. So anyway, they were definitely aware of the ant problem because there were ant traps all over the Airbnb. And I was like, okay, so I, I can't, I'm not like, telling you something that you don't know, but I did have to let them know that that was pretty gross. But anyway, all in all, great trip. Let me just stay positive. All in all, great trip. It was so much fun and I'm so glad to be back. And we are going to be talking about Spencer Pratt's political future, you know, at least in la. Probably coming to an end here as enough mail in votes have been counted to push him out of the mayoral race. And then companies have been celebrating pride in very strange and inappropriate ways. Andrew has clipped me saying Happy Pride because every time we do it a Pride Month segment, or at least we're Happy Pride, everyone. My face pops up too. It's like a sticker. Happy Pride, everyone. Just the monotone. Like Happy Pride, everyone. That's going to be my new vocal stem for the month. Happy Pride, everyone. So anyway, we're going to get into

[B]

a lot of friends.

[A]

Yeah, we're going to Happy Pride, everyone. We're going to get into Cartoon Network and HelloFresh. Celebrating Pride and just strange, inappropriate ways. And plus, there seems to be a generational divide when it comes to sharing your location on your phone between friends and romantic partners. And the New York Times says anyone over the age of 35 finds this crazy. And people under that age are all okay with sharing locations. So I'm going to give you my take and we're going to. We have some differing opinions in here, so we're going to get into that and I'd love to hear everyone's reaction in the chat. Quick reminder to subscribe to this show if you haven't already.

So I'm disappointed to see what's happening in the LA mayoral race, but I am not shocked. As we know, if none of the candidates reach that 50% threshold, the top two contenders would face off in the November runoff election. That's what's happening. And for a while it seemed like it was going to be Karen Bass, the incumbent mayor versus Spencer Pratt, the incomer, the newcomer, the outsider. And now Spencer Pratt wasn't running as a Republican, but his Democrat opponents did their darndest to tie him to the Republican Party, which was never going to help Spencer Pratt in la. And people were very mad at me when I said Trump should not endorse Spencer Pratt, that it was never going to help him in la. And even the damage that Democrats did by tying him to a Republican Party, I think. I think that was enough. It did him in. I've said this throughout this whole campaign, but outside support does not matter. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what's happening on the prediction markets, doesn't matter what I think of Spencer Pratt, doesn't matter how I would vote, doesn't matter what anyone else who doesn't live in LA thinks. I know that I liked Spencer Pratt and his policies and what he was fighting for and standing for. I know that all of you liked it, but that doesn't matter. We can't vote in that race legally. So do Republicans live in L A? Of course they do. Do enough live in L A to get Spencer Pratt over the edge? Probably not. And the truth for all elections in the US is that Republicans vote, Republican voters show up on Election Day, we show up in person. Democrats and progressive voters. They're more likely to utilize the mail in voting system. And despite Election day being on June 2, La county can still process and count those mail in ballots that are postmarked June 2nd until today June 9th. So they've got a lot of time to tabulate these votes. LA county must complete the final results by July 2, a whole month after Election Day. And then the Secretary, Secretary of State in California will certify that election a week later on July 10th. So you may be thinking there's more time for Spencer. But like I said, Democrats are the ones who likely vote mail in ballots and more than 93% of the vote is already counted. Spencer Pratt can't come back. So with all of the outside support, rather than support that actually matters, that can translate into tangible votes, mixed with the fact that the mail ends were going to be tabulated later and Democrats are the ones that use it, this all makes sense to me. I'm not shocked at what we're seeing in LA right now. I've seen a lot of posts on social media, oh, this is rigged. Oh, this. Oh, how can this happen? How could she come up from behind? How could she fix a gap? It could. It's la. You have to get into the mentality of these are how LA voters are going to vote. Not us, not common sense Republicans, not independent voters, not people who care about these policies. LA is going to la and they are certainly doing that. So now LA is going to have two minority women running against each other. They're basically going to have to choose between more of the same with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, or the more progressive route with Nithya Rahman, the councilwoman. And people with more than a few synapses firing upstairs may think that voters care about the policy platforms of the candidates vying for their votes. But really, at least in la, Democrats only care about skin color and instead. And sex, of course. But this is going to be women versus women. So they really only care about skin color. And darn it, they're both minorities. So, you know, what are they going to do? They're really caught between a rock and a hard place here. Do you give the black woman another chance or do you go with the. Whatever Nithya Roman is like? This is what they have to choose on. So instead of voting down party lines, they vote based whether or not their own skin color matches that of the candidate. So if you ask Karen Bass supporters why they're voting for her, well, it's exactly what you'd expect. Watch.

[B]

Who do you want to win as mayor of la?

[A]

Karen Bass.

[B]

And why? Karen Bass, Black Pride. Anything else? No, just that. Or some policies or something like that that you can share? Nah.

[A]

No. And I'll tell you that this is not an anomaly. This is not just this standalone woman that votes based on her skin color being the same as the candidate. I saw other videos of black people saying the exact same thing. Oh, well, I'm just. I'm just going to vote for her because she's black. And I tried to find the video, I don't know if I already played it on the show or if I just couldn't find it last night, but I was trying to find this video of a black man saying, yes, I'm going to vote for her because she's black. And then the interviewer followed up saying, do you like her policies? Are you happy with the way that she's run the city? And he said, no, but because she's black, she's going to. He's going to give her another chance. So that's how these people are operating. So if you ask Nithya Robin supporters why they're voting for her, well, it's exactly as you'd expect. Watch.

[B]

Are you voting for. It's your Iman. Why her over bath? Well, she's Indian and I'm South Asian. What do you think about Spencer Pratt? Not much. Do you think he has a chance? I don't know. Do you? I mean, if people are willing to like Trump. Some people just want to vote for the white guy. That's true. Just because they're white. That's unfortunate. What do you think about that? People voting on like the, based on like race and stuff. I think it's a kind of unfortunate because you should be looking at someone's credentials. Really.

[A]

Okay, so you should be look right out of the, right out of his own mouth. You should be looking at their credentials. But when he's going to vote for Nithya Rahman, it's because they share some sort of heritage or something. They're from the same part of the world.

[B]

Let's, let's listen to his initial answer one more time. Are you voting for. It's your aman. Why her over Bass? Well, she's Indian and I'm South Asian. What do you think about Spencer Pratt? Not much.

[A]

Okay, so you're both South Asian and I guess it's close enough. Close enough. Good enough. Seriously. And you know, he made the point because no cap on God, that's the account. And I don't know his name, the guy who runs that account, but he's, you know, trolling this guy obviously. And he said, you know, will white people vote for Trump just because he's white? I. White people do not vote for Trump because he's white. People voted for Trump for a billion other reasons. I've never thought of Trump's skin color other than, you know, he's very tanned artificially. That's the only, that's the only conversation that comes up about Trump's skin color is that he's a little orange. He's. And he's got, you know, I went to Mar a Lago for an event. He has, like, a tanning salon at Mar a Lago on the property. It says, like, tanning suite or something like that. I'll have to remind. Remind me and I'll post it on my Instagram story. I took a picture of it the last time I was there. But he has, like, a specific, like, room for tanning.

[B]

Mar a Lago rocks. The amount of, like, little cool nicks and crannies and the art there, like, it's just such a cool story.

[A]

It's very cool. It's very cool. Yeah. So it's the golden age. Every day is the golden age at Mar a Lago. And I. And I love that. But, yeah, so he has his own little tanning thing. But I. Trump's skin color is never a conversation. It's more so a conversation for people on the left making fun of him. But Republicans don't vote for people because they're white or black or whatever, or, oh, we have the same skin color. Therefore, I like him. I vote based on policy. And I'm sure a lot of people in the chat also feel that way. It's actually wild to me that people think this, this way, that, oh, well, I'm. I'm Indian and she's South Asian, therefore I'm going to vote for her. And then he doesn't see the hypocrisy in the moment. Just like 30 seconds later, not even. It's. It's almost as if it's scripted, but it's not. That's the wild part. So in la, this is sort of a wash. LA is going to get exactly what they voted for. And there's absolutely no pressure for either one of these candidates to actually clean up the city, because clearly the voters don't give a rip, that they live in filth. They'll vote for whoever promises free health care or something, and then when they don't deliver, they'll give them another chance because of their skin color. So if Spencer Pratt had actually advanced and won, he would have actually had to put his money where his mouth is on the campaign trail and deliver on those promises to clean up the city, get rid of crime, things like that. But these two ladies, they don't have to do anything. They are banking on the fact that they are. They are black, they are whatever the hell, and that's enough for the voters. In la, Democrats will quite literally vote blue, no matter who they'll Vote South Asian no matter who. They'll vote Indian black no matter who. So if you give them two of the same choice, essentially, they'll probably just keep Karen Bass exactly where she is. Why rock the boat? But maybe Nithya Rahman will go full steam ahead with these progressive policies and try to set herself apart and become the new Madani of the west, because we saw that she's positioned herself. She's gone on Hasan Piker's podcast or stream or whatever, and, you know, he thinks that Americans deserved 9, 11. He said some horrible things about capitalism, and he's. His viewpoints are diametrically opposed to what we believe as Americans. And Nithya Rahman is positioning herself close to him, I guess, using him to build her own platform. But that's a. That's a choice. She made that choice. And she's definitely positioning herself as the more progressive candidate than to the left of Karen Bass. So, la, will they keep Karen Bass in place? I don't know. Will they go with the Mamdani of the West? I don't know. I guess we'll have to see. And it'll be interesting to see how Nithya Rahman or what she does in the next few months leading up to November to. I don't know, is she going to lean into that or is she going to stay the course? It'll be interesting to see. But with all of that understanding, Spencer Pratt clearly didn't have a shot. The city wants. The city has to have to help itself, and LA does not want to help itself. Maybe with. If Spencer Pratt had a little more hair gel, or if he was running on policies that would ruin the city, or certainly if he had a different skin color, maybe he would have a shot. I think, though, Gavin Newsom is probably a dying breed. And I'm saying that as a straight white man in the Democrat Party, I think those types of candidates are a dying breed. I think if you're white and you're straight, you really don't have much of a shot. But in politics, especially in California and not. Not in any Democrat election, I think that they're really looking for these identity politics check boxes. And this is why Mamdani. People didn't want. Well, certainly people didn't want Cuomo in New York for, you know, other reasons. He was just. He's. He's got too much baggage. People didn't want him. You know, they gave Eric Adams a shot and, you know, Mamdani was the new shiny thing. They had never had a Muslim mayor before, so it's like, oh my gosh, we get to know. Elect this person. Brand new DEI unlocked. This is what they think. So I think that Spencer Pratt, if you're running in a Democrat stronghold, it's not going to help if you're white. It just isn't. I just think that white candidates are going to be a thing of the past for the Democrats. And you know, Joe Biden was probably one of the last ones. Gavin Newsom certainly going to try to run for president in 2028. He's got to make sure that he runs with someone. He's got to get the checkbox, the DEI checkbox. But I think it's, it's over for the straight white males of the Democrat Party, unfortunately. Sorry. Pour one out for those. We're not going to see them again. But the voter rolls in California certainly are questionable. Nick Shirley did a video exposing centenarians on voting rolls. He actually confronted a woman who was listed as being 126 years old, but she confirmed that she is not 126 years old. Watch.

[B]

So how old is this person who's eligible to vote here inside the United States? Inside the state of California?

[A]

126, based on the Secretary of State.

[B]

And this is Doris.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Now we're going to see if Doris is home. Are you Doris?

[A]

She's right here.

[B]

Yes. Hello, Doris. Yes. How are you doing? I'm good. We're just going through the voting rolls here and we're just confirming anybody who's above the age of 100 years old. And right here it says you're 126 years old. No, you got the wrong house. Are you Dorsey?

[A]

Yeah, but you got the wrong house. I'm door. But you got the wrong place. That's the wrong information, all that stuff. No, no, that's wrong.

[B]

Oh, here, I can show you if you'd like. No, it's just that it's wrong. How come you think here in California there's messing up on all these voting rolls here? I don't know. Because I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, it says he voted in 51 elections. Doris.

[A]

No, not me.

[B]

Really, I'm not no 100 something years old. I know. I just want to make sure you're not 126 years old.

[A]

I'm not.

[B]

Yeah, it really does say you're 126 years old here.

[A]

No. Who did this be? 126. That don't even make sense.

[B]

I know. That's what the Secretary of State says.

[A]

Well, the second state is wrong.

[B]

Okay, well, put it like this.

[A]

I was born in 19, so you figure that out.

[B]

All right, Doris, you have a good evening.

[A]

So this is interesting for a few different reasons. First of all, he goes up to the house. Clearly the information is correct because Doris is living at that address. She's like, you got the wrong house. I don't think he does. I don't think he has the wrong house because you answered the door. But certainly her age is incorrect. There's no one who can be 126 years old. And it said that her birthday was like a very generic one. One, you know, January 1, 1900. It's like as generic as you can get. And, you know, certainly she says that this is incorrect. And you have to wonder why that is. Why is someone on the voter rolls as 126 years old? Clearly she's old enough, you know, and she's alive so she can vote. But why is the birthday wrong? So it just makes you think that, you know, maybe she is voting an election still, but the voter rolls are incorrect. There are certain inconsistencies that are on these voter rolls that need to be addressed. And also we have to get into the fact you, you think about this is just one person that Nick surely confronted. How many other times does this happen? If it can happen to her, it can happen to a bunch of other people. And we, we've already seen stories of, with these mail in ballots, like, they just send ballots to houses and they send a ballot for anyone that's ever lived at that address. So it's like if, certainly if it's an apartment complex, you can get like, I get mail for people who lived in my apartment complex before me and before me, like sometimes two or three people. So it can happen. And California, I guess they don't care to make sure that these people are where they are. So they just send, you know, multiple ballots. I mean, there were stories in the 2020 election, people getting like 15 ballots sent to their house. That doesn't mean that these people are using those ballots 15 times to go vote Democrat. Like, I can't tell you that that's happening because I don't know, but it's certainly possible it's getting sent to your house. You could just send them all in. I mean, certainly they don't care enough to check to not send them. So they're not going to check to make sure on the other end. So it can happen. And California, you know, it's, it's, it's Wild. They send ballots. Over 23 million mail in ballots were sent in the 2026 primary. That's the highest ever. So 90% of the ballots are coming by mail. That is far higher than other states. And I saw a video of on X yesterday, I was thinking about pulling it for the show, but I really didn't have too much to say on it other than the fact that they are helicoptering votes in in LA and they've got a month to do this, but they're helicoptering votes in. It's just like, seems bizarre and this is all to like cut back on time. But then California will say that it takes a long time to go through these voter rolls and these mail in ballots because they have broadened access to different groups. This is their argument for why they need mail in ballots. And there are more people voting, so it takes more time. They have to verify signatures and what have you. So maybe you can't vote on behalf of the people that used to live at year because they need to verify the signatures. Are they actually doing that? I don't know. But another issue with these mail in ballots is that like I said, they have to be in by today, but they have to be postmarked by June 2nd. Well, Steve Hilton, who's running as a Republican for the gubernatorial election in California, he explains how you are actually able to backdate the, the timestamp on these things by hand. So you don't actually have to vote and it doesn't have to be postmarked by June 2nd. You could just say that it's postmarked by June 2nd. Watch this.

[B]

There's one thing that is just extraordinary to anyone watching, which is this mail in ballot seven days after the election. The I, the argument is, well, we want maximum participation. So if someone wants to vote on election day, we're going to treat sending in a mail ballot the same as if you were voting. That's why we're going to give seven days for the ballot to arrive. But there's a line in the law that says that actually the proof that you mailed your ballot on or just before election day, even if it arrives after election day, it's not just the postmark. You can write it, you can hand write the date. Wow. And that counts. I was talking about this at the last elections. I had the whistleblower from the postal service explaining this. So just to be really clear what that means, you can back date your ballot by hand. By hand and it will be counted. That is how insane this system is. I Didn't even know that. That is outrageous. Oh my God. You talk about, listen, congratulations on your ground game. What you have managed to do in California is, is, is, it's wild that

[A]

you can just back date the, the, the ballot and just say, you know, you don't have to vote by election day. This is why people question elections and how accurate it is. Because the election day votes get tabulated like the one, the people who show up in person, then it comes time to count the mail ins hypothetically, it gives anyone with nefarious intent enough time to come up with the amount of votes necessary to change the outcome. Now, I'm not arguing that that's what happened in la. I don't have any evidence of that. And I genuinely don't think people in LA liked Spencer Pratt. I, and I said this for weeks covering his campaign. I like him, we like him. That doesn't mean that LA likes him. And just because you have social media clout and you've got great ads and things like that doesn't mean that you're going. That's going to translate to votes that actually matter. And I think the people stumping for Spencer Pratt had no skin in the game. Like, I liked him, I liked him as a candidate. I don't have any skin in the game. Of course I can say that and hope that people in LA are watching my show, but I, I don't know if that's true. And again, I think a lot of people in the chat probably live somewhere else and we can all like Spencer Pratt. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the longer it takes to tally these votes, the longer it takes to certify the election, the more questions people have and those questions are valid. And because of that, I think the only option to secure elections is to get rid of mail in ballots completely. If you are traveling, if you are serving abroad, but plan ahead to obtain an absentee ballot. But I do not think you should be able to vote by mail. Otherwise sending a bunch of ballots to a house. Come on, this is just the, the option for something to go wrong. Is there? So why just remove that? Democrats obviously don't want to remove that, but I just think get everyone to the polls on election day. Businesses should make more accommodations for employees to go vote. It's one day, it doesn't take long. You could do it on your lunch break. I have voted in blue states and red states. It's taken me 30 minutes to vote. You know, you wait on the line, whatever. It's really not that hard. I think certainly for business owners, this is something that needs to be taken care of. Make sure that your employees can go to vote again. It's one day. And I'm not saying you have to close up shop, but I'm saying make sure that everyone gets out to vote. And for all the government resources that they pour into sending ballots to every household and any name that's ever been registered to an address, the government should pour into resources to make sure that, you know, the disabled people, elderly people, people who can't afford to get to a polling location, perhaps can get a free ride because it's our civic duty. And you know, me, I'm not. I'm not all for freebies, but I'm assuming I'm trying to get into the heads of California Democrats here. They want to expand. They want to broaden access to voting. They want to be able to mail votes to your house to make it easy for everyone. Well, make it easy for everyone to get their ass to the polls like in real life. It should be accessible to all who are legally to vote. But mail in voting, in my opinion, makes it accessible to those who shouldn't be voting, potentially, and creates more room for fraud. And there's nothing more important than securing our elections. And because it takes so long to tabulate votes in California, I just wanted to share this with you. The Daily Wire put this out. Just this little meme of all these things that take less time than counting votes in California, which is 30 days, a whole month. You could watch every episode of the Office nine times in a whole month. That's a. How many seasons of the Office are there?

[B]

I'm gonna say like seven or eight.

[A]

That's. It's a. It's a big commitment to watch.

[B]

It's a big show.

[A]

It is a big show. And nine times. I mean, you could watch this season nine times. The episodes are shorter, though, right?

[B]

Yeah, they're 20 minutes.

[A]

Yeah, they were. This was before the age of, you know, a movie. Every episode.

[B]

The Office rocks. I've seen. I've seen it through, like, so many times. It's great.

[A]

It is great. It certainly wouldn't get past the. It wouldn't pass the smell test now, like, a show like this. Would not. People would cancel it so fast. People get offended by it so fast.

[B]

Fine. We like it.

[A]

I can't watch shows more than once. Once I watch it, I'm done. I don't rewatch anything.

[B]

There's, like, a whole debate. Like, there's shows that have Way more watch ability than others. Like, if it's like a big twist and like a big reveal and stuff, like it's like.

[A]

Then you can't really watch it because it's ruined for you. But something like this, it's just sort of like, you know, you like a comfort show. What do people call them?

[B]

Like, a comfort show.

[A]

Yeah, just like, I'm going to bed, I want to put something on in the background. I'll watch. I'll watch the office again. You could traverse the Atlantic Ocean in a cruise ship. Not that I would want to do that, but you could do that in less time that it takes for California to. To tabulate their votes. Next one. William Henry Harrison's presidency was longer than it takes to count votes in California. You could walk to. You could walk from LA to San Francisco almost four times. It says 159 hours it would take. Wow, that's. That's a big undertaking. The Cuban Missile crisis. Is that it?

[B]

That is it. Yep.

[A]

Yeah, lots of things. So I wish that. I wish that it could just be. We've got to. I know that California is big, but we've got to figure out a way to just get people to the polls and count the votes. Like, give it a day. You know, if you need an extra day or two, fine. But like, you should be able to tell within the week who won. And like a week is. I'm being generous there.

[B]

Well, and especially with technology these days. That's what I'm saying, you know, you see. Oh, Pratt's up in the vote. You guys have six weeks to fix that. Boys, better get filling out your mail in ballots.

[A]

It's just ridiculous. Like, the only way to fix this and to get people. And I'm not saying that there was fraud. I'm saying that fraud is. There's a potential for it. And, you know, the only way to eliminate that potential is to get rid of mail in ballots. But they just won't do it. It's ridiculous. Hey there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. If you don't control your money, it controls you. You're not in control of your finances, and you have to look outside of

[C]

yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in control.

[A]

You're like. Like, what is it that you actually want?

[B]

Money should follow the dreams and goals,

[A]

because sometimes we make the dream and goal the money.

[C]

And you overworked yourself and you've exceeded

[B]

what you've needed for the actual thing you want.

Sometimes we forget, like, what's the actual thing you want? Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Moving on now to Cartoon Cartoon Network celebrating Pride Month. So you know how it goes. June 1st kicks off and all the corporations want to outwoke each other. Happy Pride, everyone. Happy Pride, everyone. Logos turn into rainbows and the statements have to outdo the next one as to not get canceled. See how this works? None of the companies give a rip about gay, queer trans people. They care about not losing their money and the money of the cancel culture mob social justice warrior virtue signalers. So here's Cartoon Network's statement for Pride. Happy Pride, everyone. Love is beautiful now more than ever. Our lgbtq, they missed a few letters, by the way. They missed two S. L. They miss the I. A. I mean, do they? Are you really even an ally if you miss the letters in the acronym?

[B]

Come on, big ally.

[A]

Come on. LGBTQ. Plus family deserves to be seen, celebrated, and protected. We're better and braver because of you. Really. Happy Pride. Happy Pride. Happy Pride, everyone. So, first of all, Cartoon Network is braver because of the gay community. Like, how. What does that even mean? Nobody even questions these statements. It's just they. It's the clapping seals. They see this, and, you know, people in the gay community are like, yay, they did something for us. But really, how is Cartoon Network braver because of gay people? Cartoon Network is brave. None of this makes sense. And nobody questions it. I question it. So I was going through the comments on that post, and some of the comments were supportive coming from people in the gay. Whatever plus plus community. Thank you for helping me feel seen growing up. Cartoon Network is my everything. Really? If Cartoon Network is your everything, you've got to. You've. You've got issues.

[B]

I want to know how old are you that person? Yeah, because, like, growing up, like, it didn't. Cartoon Network was not.

[A]

Cartoon Network should never be your everything. It's a very dramatic thing to say. Cartoon Network should not be your everything. It should just be, like, a piece of your childhood.

[B]

Yeah, that's tough.

[A]

Yeah. So then someone else commented, instead of saying thank you to Cartoon Network, say thank you to Rebecca Sugar. They had to fight for the representation in Steven Universe and wasn't willing to compromise on Ruby and Sapphire when Cartoon Network didn't want their wedding aired. Why are there gay cartoons getting married in shows anyway?

[B]

This is all recent. Like, I've never heard of a pretty recent.

[A]

I've never heard of Steven Universe. Have you?

[B]

Yeah. So, like, if you did it in like eras. Like our. Our growing up era was like the.

[A]

The Dexter hot dog.

[B]

Yeah, like that kind of stuff. This is like the very new era network.

[A]

And of course, everyone's gay.

[B]

Yeah, very.

[A]

So Ruby and Sapphire are, I guess, are lesbians. Can I. Can I assume their. Their sexuality here? I don't know. And I guess they got married on the show. Cartoon Network didn't want to air their wedding for whatever reason. I mean, they already have gay characters, so what's the big deal? I don't know. And some non binary person who works at Cartoon Network had to fight for this to be aired. Whatever someone else said, thank you so much. I know we can always trust Cartoon Network. Happy Pride, everyone. Trust them with what? Trust them with what? For what? What are you trusting Cartoon Network with to support your sexuality? Like what? You need a Cartoon Network to support your sexuality? Hello. Not normal.

[B]

Here. Here's a clip from the wedding. If you.

[A]

I would love to see it. Thank you.

[B]

Yeah. Well, it's just an image, but yeah.

[A]

Oh, okay. So this is what it looked like. Okay, I guess that's necessary.

[B]

Thank you, Cartoon Network, for your service.

[A]

Someone commented. We all scream in unison. Thank you, Cartoon Network with the gay flag. And then some comments, of course, were in opposition to this. Our childhood is crushed. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. People were wondering why. Just why? You know, lots of broken heart emojis. And someone said, to protect children. And then someone else commented in quotes, we're not pushing it onto children. Which is something that the left always says, you know, whenever the right says, hey, this is weird. Why are you doing this, children? They always say, we're not. It's not happening. They always say that men are not competing in women's sports, boys are not competing in girls sports. They're not forcing their way into locker rooms. And of course that is happening. It is happening because they're fighting for it. So when this person comments and says, we're not pushing it onto children, I mean, that's what they're saying here. This. The left says, you know, we're not pushing this gay, transgender stuff onto children. But then you'll remember in Florida, people were fighting against the don't say gay bill. It wasn't called that, actually. It was the Parental Rights and Education Act. But they were fighting and saying. They don't say gay bill. So are you. You are pushing it onto children because you're upset that we're not going to be talking about sexuality in school. So, of course, it's projection. They are. They are Pushing it onto children. And I don't know why adults are even following Cartoon Network on Instagram at all. I haven't thought about Cartoon Network in decades. I haven't watched it probably since I was 10 or 11. I got to a point in childhood where I didn't want to watch cartoons anymore. And I would say I was probably around 10 or 11, where I wanted to watch shows that had real actors in them. They were still kid shows, but I wanted to watch Lizzie McGuire. I wanted to watch that's so Raven. I wanted to watch Hannah Montana, things like that. I didn't want to watch. I was aging out of cartoons. So if you are an adult, I know that there are adult cartoons. I'm not really talking about those, but if you are an adult, like family, I'm thinking of, like, Family Guy. Like, obviously that's for an adult audience. Not talking about that. But if you were an adult concerned about Cartoon Network and how they are supporting your sexuality, that's very weird. It's. It's not natural. And I certainly wouldn't follow them on social media. I wouldn't comment on this. I think that these people commenting are probably a little strange to begin with. And I have said this before. People have called me absolutely crazy, but I would be completely fine with absolutely no romance ever in cartoons. Yes, I am talking about princesses and princes, happily ever afters and everything straight, gay, I don't care. Everything in between. I do not see a reason for any romantic or sexual content for kids ever. It made me uncomfortable as a kid. I remember watching characters kiss and I thought, this is adult behavior. Because it is. It is adult behavior. And I remember distinctly watching this is like, you know when there's like a. A romance or like a sex scene and you don't want to watch it with your parents because you're like, ah, this is horrible. I got that feeling when I was a kid watching characters kiss. I was like, this is weird. I just remember feeling that way. And I think it's completely unnecessary. Kids will naturally grow up to be adults and become sexual beings at some point in their life. There's no reason for children's content to promote that or encourage it or shape that process in any way. It comes naturally. And there's enough adult romantic content in the world that kids will inevitably be exposed to anyway. So why is it in cartoons? But if you really thought that that was bad. HelloFresh did a number on their Pride Month statement. They really did. HelloFresh is a meal delivery service, but not so Much meal delivery. It's more like a grocery delivery service where they send you the ingredients for meals like you make it yourself, but they send you the ingredients to make it yourself, rather than a meal service that just gives you everything pre made. This is like we're going to give you the exact amount of salt that you need and, you know, whatever else, dill, whatever they've got. So that's what HelloFresh is. And for Pride Month, this is what they put up on their Instagram official statement. We know eating isn't always a top priority this month. We respect that. But for those of you who are dot, dot, dot prepping, we have an extensive lineup of high fiber recipes available. Happy Pride. And they also offered in the comments a promo code, Bottoms up. Someone commented, one of their customers or followers said, you should do a Pride Month discount code, bottoms up. And they said, you ask, we deliver. So they did bottoms up as a discount code for Pride Month. I don't have to, I don't have to explain this, do I? Everyone, everyone understands what they're. They're picking up what they're, what HelloFresh is putting down. I don't have to explain this, but this is wild. I mean, this is absolutely wild. And in the comments, people are saying, this is supportive. Comments, people are in. You could see right here. Love this clapping hands, emoji. You know, people are crying, laughing, they're clapping. I. But someone commented, this is what happens when a brand trusts its marketing team. Excellent work, Excellent work. And then it's like, is HelloFresh only selling to gay people? Of course not. So it's just weird to do something so specific to promote a meal service specifically for gay men who are having, you know, whatever. Just someone else said, I wholeheartedly thank you for your support and service. And they capitalized H O L E in the hole. Gross. Someone else said, now this, this is perfect. I need to know who's behind this. Show your face and take a bow. You're amazing. Iconic. Love to see it. I love that y' all made a statement for the eaters. Ah, the eaters. And then someone said, give the bottom behind this post a raise. And then someone thankfully had the wherewithal to question how did we get here as a society? I agree, I agree with that statement. Someone in the chat just said, not very fresh. Not very fresh for HelloFresh. I agree. So then after this, HelloFresh turned anti Trump. They posted this also for Pride Month official statement, we considered dropping off a HelloFresh box at a Very famous house painted white. But we didn't want to overwhelm anyone with a step one preheat oven. And you can see someone commented there. It's been real hellofresh. See ya with the peace out emoji. So clearly this is pissing off some of their customers, which is this statement is genuinely dumb. Why would any president need a meal prep service at all? They have a chef.

[B]

Such a weird stray to fire off.

[A]

Like, it's just all they're doing here is targeting the gay community and they're also targeting the anti Trumpers. This is their attempt at calling Trump dumb. But actually they're dumb because Trump would never need a meal prep service. All of his meals are prepped for him. They're not going to trust the ingredients coming from. Hellofresh. Could you imagine, like, all of the president's food has to be tested before they give it to him. They don't want him to get sick and they don't want him to die. So absolutely no. And then in the comments, well, I've been considering joining, but this confirmed it. I'm in clapping hands emoji. Ran to order. Might have to grab a HelloFresh subscription. BRB. Need to renew my membership. And then less common. But some people were questioning, you know, what's the quickest way to cancel our subscription? This is really vile. This is a food company talking about poop trying to sell food and buttholes trying to sell food. And also of course, trying to capitalize on the people who hate Trump. And we've talked about this. I have a, I have a video in scrolling time, which hopefully I get to, but we'll see. Of, of course, these anti Trumpers who want to see Trump die, they are capitalizing on those people. They want those people, those violent, deranged people to be customers of their product. And that says a lot about the company. It says a lot about the people running their social media. And I would maybe question getting food from these people. I don't think I would feel very comfortable being in a, an outspoken Republican or outspoken Trump supporter and getting food delivered by these people who want to kill Republicans essentially, or want to cater to people who feel that way.

[B]

It just is so weird that all of Pride Month boiled down is just all about sex. Like, at its core, that's all it is. And it just feels weird every time

[A]

we get to June and gay, like, gay marriage has been a thing for so long now that. Why is that? Why, like, hasn't the novelty worn off of trying to, like, be Proud, like, why? You don't have to be proud of who you're having sex with. Like, it's just a way of life. And I don't have to agree with it. You don't have to agree with what I'm doing or vice versa. But shouldn't it be private? Like, make sex private again, for real? I don't want to know what people are doing. I don't want to know who you're sleeping with. I don't want to know all of that. It's really bizarre.

[B]

I don't need, like an Applebee's meal deal for my sexuality. You know, I just.

[A]

This is crazy. These are the people. Remember when it was Covid times and they wanted everyone to roll up their sleeves? They were like, take a free cheeseburger. Take a free cheeseburger. Take a free side of fries. People. People will do anything for a deal. So, of course. And honestly, you could see by the response, the overwhelmingly positive response, that there is a market for this, which is even more sick.

[B]

Is it. Is there a market or is it just an online Instagram chasm? That's a good question.

[A]

We'll have to see how HelloFresh does. I'm gonna. Is it a public company?

[B]

I'm not sure.

[A]

Hellofresh stock.

[B]

I'm just gonna say I have subscribed.

[A]

Well, stock is down before.

[B]

Well, I would assume stock is down.

[A]

So maybe this is like update. Maybe this is a, like a last ditch effort to. It's like, oh, it's Pride Month. Our stock is down. Let's try to make things right and get people excited about our product again. Talking about our product again and all attention is good. Attention, Right? That. That saying where it's like, bad. All. No, no press is bad. Yeah, exactly. What, like, what am I even saying? I'm doing it opposite, but you know what I mean. So anyway, moving on from this Pride Month garbage, because I don't want to talk about it anymore, but the New York Times put this piece out on sharing locations, and it says, stop location tracking your friends and lovers. And it says, I would never voluntarily share my phone's location with another living soul. Not even my husband of 16 years. That's Jessica Gross, who wrote this article. Now, I would like your take on this. You're in a really. You're married.

[B]

I am married.

[A]

And you share locations?

[B]

Yes, I shared locations with my now wife when we were dating.

[A]

Dating.

[B]

She had a very long commute to work and I would constantly be asking, hey, did you make it to work? Did you not, you know, that type of deal. And it was easier just to share our locations. Like, are you at work? Where are you? What are you doing?

[A]

And how old are you guys?

[B]

I am now 29.

[A]

So the new York Times says that people over the age of 35 find this to be an abomination. They can't wrap their heads around people sharing locations. And I think there is a generational divide because I agree with you. In my last relationship, I did not share my location, but maybe that was by design because he was sketchy, but I didn't have the. I didn't have the desire to share my location with him either. But I'm a. I tell the truth, and I am where I say I am. So that's.

[B]

That's a big part of sharing location is like, I. I share mine with my wife because one we're.

[A]

You have nothing to hide.

[B]

Yeah. If we're not. It's not like I'm being sketchy.

[A]

Right. Of course. The. Here's the thing. In a relationship, you can't take it back once you decide to share locations. You can't be like, yeah, I'm not really into this anymore. Because then it's like, well, why not?

[B]

That. That's like, my wife is a. Like, she loves gifts, and she loves surprises.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I will say the location track ruins surprises. Does play a very big role in, like, surprises not being a surprise anymore.

[A]

So someone in the chat said, I share my location with my husband and son, and I'm way over 30. So I agree with that. Where the New York Times said that if you're over the age of 35, this is unheard of. I think that families share locations. They use the light. What is it called, like, Life360, something like that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A lot of times when you have kids, it's like, you want to know where your kids are. I remember when I had. When I got my first car in high school, my mom made me put a reminder to text her that I got where I was going and I would always forget, and it wasn't nefarious. Like, I genuinely. I know that she was worried about me, and I wasn't trying to be shady or anything, but I would forget. And when you have your location on, I think especially for parents, it's a good way of being like, okay, same way that you. You did. I just want to make sure that they got where they're going, you know? I totally understand. You don't want to be on your phone or you get to school and you have to put your phone in your locker or whatever. Okay. At least I know where they are. I know that they're safe. I know that they're not, you know, on the side of the road in a ditch, whatever.

[B]

My mom has no idea she's sharing her location with me. She has no clue. But it was very helpful when they were out in Phoenix, hiking in the wilderness. I could. I could keep an eye.

[A]

That's the thing, too. And I will. I will say a lot of times, and I was reading through the comments on this, and I'm a woman. I'm a single woman. I like sharing my location with my friends. They know when I'm going on a first date with a stranger. They know where I'm going, and they can check my location to know, okay, Haley is where she says she is. She got home okay for me. Like, I don't come home to a husband that's worrying about me. And my parents live nowhere near here. So it's like, for me, I live by myself. And it's important that people who love me and care about me know where I am. As a safety measure, I care about that. And a lot of other single women in the comment section were saying I. That they feel the same way. As a safety measure. It's important. Of course, when I visited, I surprised my best friend for her 30th birthday, and she texted me. I wasn't. I forgot that I was sharing my location with her. And she was like, why are you in New York?

[B]

It's tough. You gotta be careful, darn it.

[A]

Like, when you are trying to surprise someone, that's when it really screws you up. Especially if you stop sharing your location with someone. It's like, oh, something's up. I see a lot of tiktoks people are like, I knew that I was getting proposed to because all my friends turned. Turn their locations off. So there. It's like, oh, you know, there's either a surprise birthday party or a surprise engagement party or something. It's like, you know when. When you share locations and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, everyone that you care about drops off the face of the planet. You know something's happening. They don't want you to know something.

[B]

Not to out my wife, but she. She refers to all the people she follows as her sims. And before she goes to bed, she's like, let's check on.

[A]

Let's check on everyone.

[B]

She's like, of course they're at home and they're safe and they're doing good.

[A]

And it's just a, it, it's peace of mind. And I think that there's, there's something to be said for when you're dating someone though. Is it normal to share locations and relationships? Maybe older people would think, no, you should be able to just trust someone that they are where they say they are. And I, part of me agrees with that. In my last relationship, I didn't share my location, but in one of my ones before that I did. It just sort of like depends, like if it comes up. Yeah, but I'm not going to seek it out. I'm not going to. I'm not going to demand that someone shares their location with me. I, I am a trusting person. And you know that to a fault. Like sometimes I get burned. But I'd rather trust someone and get burned than not trust in a relationship.

[B]

So classic dating question. First date, somebody asks you to share their location. Is that psychotic behavior?

[A]

That is absolutely psychotic. No, you can't share location.

[B]

Really. Good evening. Tonight, would you mind sharing your location with me so I can.

[A]

Absolutely insane. If anyone asked me that, I would, I would block them. Like, that would scare me so much. No, absolutely not. I think the only time that you start sharing locations is when you're in a committed relationship. Your boyfriend and girlfriend. That's fine. I wouldn't think it was weird if someone asked me to share locations with me. I wouldn't think it was weird, but I think maybe it would warrant a conversation. Like if someone just sent me the request, I'd be like, that's weird. But I think a lot of times the location sharing comes up where it's like you're meeting up with someone, you're dropping a pin. Oh, let me see where you are. Share your location with me. And there is an option to share indefinitely. And then there's a option to share your location until the end of the day or for an hour or two hours or something like that. So you could do that. And then I guess if they wanted you to share their. Locate your location with them indefinitely, that would require a conversation. Oh, I would like to see where you are all the time. And that would either be weird for you or not.

[B]

Gotta add to my sims, you know, it's like a. Gotta keep.

[A]

I follow all. I love seeing where my friends are. I love seeing that. Oh, they're at home. Oh, they're at work. I don't know. I just.

[B]

When somebody's not where they're supposed to be, you shoot them a text. You're like, hey, why are you at.

[A]

Yes. And I. I have done that and I have said, hey, you're in. You're in Delaware right now. Oh, yeah, I'm at my cousin's graduation or, oh, I'm at a wedding here. It's like, oh, okay. I just. I like to know where my friends are. And one time I was telling them a story before the show started, but I was grabbing brunch with one of my friends in New York, and I started walking in the wrong direction of the restaurant, and I got a text from my friend. Hey, you're walking in the wrong direction. Hey. She put me. She knew exactly where I was, and she got me right back on track. This is the thing, though. Once you share locations, you have to be honest about when you're leaving the house. You can't say, hey, I'm on my way. When you're getting out of the shower. You can't pull that move because they know that you're in the shower. So with that being said, I'm pro sharing locations. I wonder. I wasn't really looking in the chat. I wonder how old people are and whether or not they are into the location sharing or not. People are saying that that's stalker behavior. That's weird.

[B]

It's weird.

[A]

A lot of people thinking that it's weird. Weird to track someone. I get it. I think it is weird. I think it's something that's good. Becoming more normalized. Someone said, I have life 3. 6.

[B]

There's a lot of apps now that have it integrated. Like, I had to turn it off on. Not because I didn't want the company. Like, they know where you're at. It's. It's over. Sorry, dog. You have an Instagram account.

[A]

That's the thing.

[B]

But I don't want anybody I don't know on Instagram seeing where I'm at.

[A]

Agreed.

[B]

You know?

[A]

Agreed.

[B]

I don't have Snapchat, but I know that that's a feature.

[A]

Yes. So on Snapchat, I have my location off, so no one can see it. I'm on ghost mode or whatever, but I can still see people who share their location with me. I just don't want.

[B]

Yeah. And I don't love that. Like, there's, like, people that, like, I haven't talked to in ages, you know, that, like, leave it on. And you're like, okay, man, maybe turn that off.

[A]

Yeah, like, I don't want to see where you are. Yeah. You could tell when people have it on and they're not they don't know that they're sharing with you. But I don't care. I mean, I'm not a criminal and I'm not. I don't want to do harm to these people. So it's, you know, whatever. I just see it and I move on. But yeah, I don't have my location. There is an option for me to turn my location on. On Instagram.

[B]

Yeah, they have. There's a map now on Instagram and

[A]

I have, you know, almost 100,000 followers of strangers. Like, people who don't know me. Why would I want you to know where I am all the time? People ask me certain questions, like, where do you live? Why would I tell you that? Why would I tell you that? Like, what is the People ask me all the time, where do you live? Like what area, what town, what apartment? Like what. What People ask me, what car do you drive? Why. Why would I tell you these things when there's people that have nefarious intent? Maybe people are asking because they just genuinely want to know. I don't want to share that information. There's certain things that. It's okay to be a little mysterious. There's a little air of mystery. For sure. You don't have to know everything.

[B]

You better share your location with me so I can see where you're at. On us.

[A]

You want.

[B]

You don't have to for me. I just meant if close homies, I. You got to share your location.

[A]

Yes, of course. When I used to come to, like, now I get to work with plenty of time. But I. I have gotten a text maybe twice. Hey, are you on? Are you on the way to the studio? But I've never made it here less than 15 minutes earlier before the show, so. But I have gotten text messages like, hey, are you coming?

[B]

I know you'll show up, so you're pretty good about it.

[A]

I've never not shown up.

[B]

Worst case, we put producer Justin in the chair and we just see what happens.

[A]

And I think that the chat would like that. I really do. I think there's a chat would like that.

[B]

It's a 50 50.

[A]

There's only five more minutes. Which videos should we do in scrolling time?

[B]

Oh, I know which one we do.

[A]

Oslo.

[C]

Oslo, the tuxedo cat told me that he's gay and he would like mom to adopt a male cat to be his life partner. I ran recently had a hilarious session with this cat named Oslo, his mom. One of her questions was, would Oslo like to have a younger female cat in the home? Like a Sibling. And immediately when I asked him, he said, absolutely not. I thought that might mean that he wants to be an only cat, but he said, no, he would like another cat in the home, but he wants it to be a male cat because he's gay and he would like a life partner. And he said, like, someone to grow old with and kind of have like more romantic feelings for than sibling vibes. When he described his personality, he said that he is a gentleman. He is dapper. He's also quite flamboyant. And as I was recording the session, I was like, oh, God, I hope you know Oslo's parents aren't like super religious and conservative. I don't know. But he was describing himself as really flamboyant, buoyant, and he makes mom and dad laugh. And he even told me that he does zoomies. But then he equated the zoomies to like the death drop in voguing where a person will drop to the floor very dramatically, usually in like the splits position, as like a finale move. He also like, as he was describing how like, gentlemanly and dapper he is, but he's also gay. He showed me the image of Jonathan Bailey, the actor who plays Lauren Anthony Bridgerton in the Bridgerton series. He has such a big personality. It was just a mini session. His mom quickly emailed me back to say that, yes, Oslo is super flamboyant. We say it all the time how flamboyant he is in his mannerisms and that the session really resonated and that the people they adopted him from said that he would do best with a female cat. So they were thankful to hear Oslo's wishes that he would like, like a male cat.

[A]

And they're going to get everyone happy. Pride, everyone. Everyone in the chat is saying, what a nut case. She needs mental health. She talks to herself. This isn't real life pride, everyone. So, yes, this is a woman who thinks that she talks to cats and people are hiring her to do so.

[B]

I don't think she thinks she talks to cats. I think she spoke with Oslo.

[A]

Oh, you do?

[B]

100%.

[A]

You believe this? No. Oh, you believe that she believes it? Yes. Yes. Yeah. I was like, you believe this?

[B]

I'm hoping it's the opposite. And that just like a tarot card reader and all those other psychics, it's total bullshit. And she's scamming stupid people out of money.

[A]

Oh, I agree. So here's.

[B]

I hope it's that because stupid people deserve to be scammed out of money.

[A]

Here's My thing. How much do you think she's charging for this? That's not a number.

[B]

250 a session, easy.

[A]

That's a great number. You think that it's that much for a mini session?

[B]

250, yeah. Hour, probably. Yeah. Easy. Two feet, easy. 250.

[A]

Should I.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Should I do a session with her and we could. I can tell everyone in the chat what Birdie's thinking or what she says that Birdie's thinking.

[B]

I have a lot of money on Birdie being super gay.

[A]

Could you imagine if I had a lesbian cat?

[B]

Yes. And that sounds crazy.

[A]

Yeah, it's. My question is. So this woman says that she's talking to Oslo, the tuxedo cat, who's very dapper. He does a death drop and gay.

[B]

You forgot he's very gay.

[A]

He's very gay. Very flamboyant. The death drop. Do you guys know what they're talking about? Like when the.

[B]

I watch the Tonys this week when

[A]

the drag people go like this and then they drop it to a split like the. How does the cat even know what a death drop is?

[B]

The same way the cat spoke to her.

[A]

Correct. It's all fake. Also, how does the cat know that he's gay?

[B]

It's like the force in Star Wars. You just feel it and you're just like, boom.

[A]

And then if they did get him another boy cat in the house, how do they know that that one's gay? They kiss and interested in Oslo. What if they get a cat that. What if they get another gay man or what? What if they adopt a boy cat? I'm thinking way too far into this.

[B]

What?

[A]

I'm big braining this. What if they get another cat who's a male, but he's straight?

[B]

Gotta talk to him first. Need an onboarding call.

[A]

Onboarding call with the cat psychic, of course. Onboarding call with the cat psychic. Yeah. This is really wild. You'd have to bring the psychic to the shelter and get a little screening going.

[B]

Price goes up.

[A]

And I just want to say, in all the years that I've owned Birdie, I've never once thought about her sexuality ever. I've never thought about it. Actually, the. The last time I ever. I did think about her sexuality once, it was because the vet said when I first got her or rescued her, they said because she was just on the streets and they said she's about 8 to 10 months old, she could be pregnant. And I was like, what? Because I don't think about my cat as a sexual Being, especially at eight months old. But apparently kittens can get pregnant very

[B]

early on and they know nothing about cats.

[A]

Yeah, I was shocked.

[B]

That is news to me.

[A]

I was shocked to find that out. Thankfully, she was not pregnant. I don't know what I would have done with. Could you imagine? I just. I didn't even want Birdie. I really didn't. I didn't want a pet. I had just moved to Nashville. I. I didn't want her, but I didn't want any pet in general. Just because I traveled for work sometimes and I don't know, like, cats are easy to take care of, but it's still a responsibility. And I don't want, you know, I was traveling a lot back to New York to see family and friends, and, you know, I didn't know very many people to leave her with. Whatever. I was just like, this is not something that I want. But as cat owners know, sometimes they just find you. And when I found her, well, actually, she. I. I've probably told this story on the show before, but I was working on Tommy Lahren's show in Nashville and the cat showed up on her porch and she was going to New York for the weekend, and she had a dog sitter coming to pick up her dogs or watch her dogs. She couldn't leave the dog with the cats. The dogs with the cat, rather. And anyway, so I took her for the weekend and I said, I'll take her for just the weekend. And then the weekend turned into forever, so. Isn't that cute?

[B]

That was. That was a really good, really good adopt me story.

[A]

It was sweet. So, anyway, I'll get to the rest of these videos tomorrow, and I hope that you tune in. You can follow me on social media. Aileycarrenilla, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Bye. The Dan Bongino Show.

[B]

It's our movement, okay? It's ours.

[A]

We built it. Hard truths. There are a bunch of people out there pulling you into an information vortex,

[B]

dumping the dead pig in the well, hoping you jump in. Don't jump in the well. It's a trap. Find a way out immediately. This is the nothing is happening trap, and it is an inverted sense of reality. If we don't correct it and your kids believe it. I'm sorry.

[A]

This show's for nothing. The Dan Bonino Show.

There's only one choice, man. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
