First, Santa's husband. This book tells the story of Santa, his husband, and their life at the North Pole. And I want to assure everyone this is the true story of Mr. And Mr. Clause. Is this approved? Is this what you're telling the children to read? Is this okay in your guidance? I'm not. I'm not aware that that book is. You're the superintendent. You're not aware of what's going on in your school system. You don't know what's printed. It's trash. That's what good that is. Here's a great one here. These are my eyes. This is my nose.

Haley Karenia (7:24)

This is my vulva.

Co-host or Guest (7:25)

These are my toes. I'm gonna read a passage for you out of it. This is for your school. Some boys have a penis, but not all boys do. So always use your manners. May I ask what I can call you? This is damn trash, pure trash you're putting to these children.

Haley Karenia (7:43)

It is. And I love the fact that he's calling it trash and he's throwing it out to their faces. I absolutely love it. But Santa's husband, I mean, who writes these books? Like, you have to be so demonic. And Also you're snubbing Mrs. Claus in a way that's really disrespectful. I don't like that. Justice for Mrs. Claus, Santa is not gay. He's never been gay. They're. They're in a very happy marriage, Santa and Mrs. Claus. I don't think there's. There's any trouble in paradise in the North Pole. I think they're just fine. You know, when I grew up, Santa and, you know, Mrs. Claus, they. They got along. They worked well together. They got all the toys together. They looked over all the elves. This is what I grew up learning. Apparently, now, gay Santa. Santa ditched Mrs. Claus, and now he's also in a romantic relationship with black Santa, because obviously. And so here's what this says on Amazon. Santa's husband, an illustrated Christmas gift. Great. A Witty tale about Mr. And Mrs. Mr. Mr. And Mr. Claus. Kiko back. I'm reading that. Thank you. At the North Pole, offering a fresh twist on Kris Kringle. A clever yet heartfelt book tells the story of a black Santa Claus, his white husband, and their life in the North Pole. How many Santas are there? I'm just wondering. I thought there was one. I thought there was one. I mean, obviously. No, there's just one Santa. There's other people who dress up as Santa, but there can only be one.

Co-host or Guest (9:26)

It's like Jesus was Jesus and there's black Jesus, too. And then if Santa and black Santa.

Haley Karenia (9:31)

Right, but if you go back to that description, they were saying that this story is about black Santa. Like, black Santa is the Santa, and then he has a white husband, just ignoring all of history. Like snubbing white Santa. Santa's been white in pop culture.

Co-host or Guest (9:51)

Yes. St. Nicholas, Sudan.

Haley Karenia (9:53)

Correct. Right, Exactly. From Africa. He's Somalian. He's a Somalian immigrant. This is going to be the reboot.

Co-host or Guest (10:02)

This seems like a Netflix reboot.

Haley Karenia (10:03)

Netflix reboot is going to be. Santa and his elves are super corrupt and they're sending all of the toys back to Somalia. Yeah, I'll look forward to that one. That'll be really good for the kids. And it turns out that McDonald's also hates Christmas. This is McDonald's in the Netherlands. And apparently they put together this AI advertisement, which is very Baham Bug, if you ask me. Watch. It's the most terrible time of the year all the shots turn to mayhem.

Co-host or Guest (10:42)

Even sent enough space and the tree redecorated your place it's the most terrible time of the year.

Haley Karenia (10:54)

The roast turn.

Co-host or Guest (10:55)

To charcoal and the cookies burn too Freaking chaos. It feels like a zoo it's the.

Haley Karenia (11:02)

Most terrible time of the year See.

Co-host or Guest (11:08)

A fleet from the madness the lights and the cheer and hide out in McDonald's till January. Sheer.

Haley Karenia (11:21)

So it's the worst time of the year, Christmas time. And this ad depicts people struggling to get their Christmas tree home. Their Christmas tree not fitting in their home. Them getting, you know, I don't know, like hung up in their, their Christmas lights, getting all tangled, getting their jackets stuck in a bus while carrying Christmas packages, dropping the Christmas packages, someone's making desserts, having, you know, know, batter splash in their faces. I would say for most families, getting your Christmas tree is a very joyous moment. It always was for me as a kid. Getting the, picking it out, going to get it. Very fun. Decorating, decorating it even better. Making Christmas cookies. Like, these are the memories that I love about Christmas time and my childhood.

Co-host or Guest (12:05)

What kind of sad, sorry, liberal audience are they pandering to?

Haley Karenia (12:09)

I don't know. But spending time with family is a blessing. And I know, like, not everyone, you know, has a family. A lot of people, you know, I get it. Sometimes the holiday season brings, you know, people are, yes.

Co-host or Guest (12:23)

We're not, we're not saying there's no exceptions. But to, for them to spend that much money on a think tank to make a commercial and think that it was worth the money to make a, to make Christmas into a sad, sorry time.

Haley Karenia (12:33)

Right.

Co-host or Guest (12:34)

Is kind of telling.

Haley Karenia (12:34)

The scariest part of this whole advertisement is Christmas time is so bad. The way to fix it is Eat McDonald's. That's what they're selling. Christmas is so bad. Your family sucks so bad. Your food sucks so bad. Come to McDonald's, we'll make it better. That's the whole point. Like if your food is that bad that you need to escape your family and eat McDonald's instead, that's really bleak.

Co-host or Guest (13:03)

If your food is. If you really need an escape from Christmas, that's why Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas.

Haley Karenia (13:08)

Correct? Correct. But you shouldn't need an escape. It's one day a year. And I love the Christmas season. I absolutely love it. And this was McDonald's in the Netherlands. They hired an agency like Justin was talking about to create this video. And it's AI generated. Like these actors. These are not actors. This is totally AI generated. So McDonald's needed to hire an agency to make AI slop videos. Like how long do you think it took them to make this AI video? I mean, how long does it take to put this together? Did they have to like put in an AI request for each scene?

Co-host or Guest (13:47)

Maybe.

Haley Karenia (13:48)

But this 45 second video probably took them. I don't know. Someone's lunch break to put together. And I have not been impressed with a marketing campaign in a long time. And I will throw this out. The out to the chat. I will throw this out to you guys. When was the last time you saw a funny commercial that you remember? One that was iconic? Because I really can't think of one in recent years. I can think of Geico commercials from when I was growing up that are iconic that I can think about, like the caveman, the squirrels, the lizard. Got the gecko, whatever. Geico, Gecko, not a lizard. I can think of those, like, progressive.

Co-host or Guest (14:28)

The Doritos super bowl ad from a couple. A couple of years ago is the first one that comes to mind.

Haley Karenia (14:33)

I don't remember that.

Co-host or Guest (14:33)

You remember that one with the cardboard box and the time travel?

Haley Karenia (14:37)

Don't remember that.

Co-host or Guest (14:38)

We'll play it. It went super viral.

Haley Karenia (14:40)

Okay, so again, these are few and far between. And I would say that super bowl commercials with all the money that are behind them are just okay now. Like, that was from a few years ago. I can think of two super bowl commercials that I remember from last year. One was the Alex Earl one because the Carl's Jr. Brought back hot girls, which is great. And I. I remember it because I covered it because it was like, you know, the war on woke is over and Carl's Jr. Was bringing back, like, girls with their boobs out. And that's, you know, we welcome these kinds of things now and in Trump's America, make America hot again. And I remember that one. And I remember the Dunkin Donuts one only because it had, like, Ben Affleck and someone else in it. But I don't remember the commercial. And none of these commercials would, like, make me go buy these products or eat these foods or anything like that either. Like, I've never had Carl's junior In my life.

Co-host or Guest (15:40)

I don't like Duncan Jasmine said the Sydney Sweeney ad.

Haley Karenia (15:44)

Oh, the jeans one. American Eagle. Yeah, yeah, totally. But it's not that the ad was so crazy. It was the backlash that got everyone talking.

Co-host or Guest (15:53)

Either way, it was wildly successful. Totally worth America.

Haley Karenia (15:56)

Very, very. I can't even believe I didn't think of that. Yeah, but they're few and far between. My point is, when you see a commercial that, like, really hits, that's rare these days. And I'm just thinking that this McDonald's ad where they're like, you know, let's make the Christmas season out to be so bleak, that people's only hope in life is to, you know, turn their frown upside down with McDonald's and there are a bunch of executives in a room and you know everyone is trying to come up with ideas and they come up with this like AI video. It's just so crazy to me that they're these companies, these big marketing agencies, they're not even using actors and videographers or anything like this to me just says that they're trying to save money and they're lazy. They're just lazy. You already know I get my day started with blackout coffee and I'm a big fan of theirs.

They are swiping those credit cards and it's the campaign's credit card. So we're going to get into this. This Was reported by Fox. I saw this earlier. And apparently AOC campaign spent nearly $50,000 on a Puerto Rico trip or multiple trips, because this was between June and September. And this is luxury hotels, pricey meals, and a Bad Bunny venue rental. Speaking of super bowl, he's going to be our super bowl performer this year. Again, people were all up in arms because most of his songs, if not all of his songs, are not in English. And aoc, of course, goes to a concert. She had box seats. Apparently they spent $23,000 on that venue rental. And again, this is a campaign price. Like, this is a campaign purchase. This isn't her personally. What, what would you need that for? Anyway? This is all because of a campaign finance report from the third quarter. Just in the third quarter. Campaign Congress spending for members of Congress on their campaigns. July 1 to September 30, she spent. AOC's campaign, spent $15,000 at two different luxury hotels in San Juan. Then they spent $10,500 on meals and catering, catering services. How many staffers were at the Bad Bunny concert? You already spent, you know, 15,000 on lodging. That's a lot. I don't know how long they were there or how many people on the campaign were at this Bad Bunny concert, but that's a lot of money. And then 10. And then what kind of hotel rooms are you staying in anytime? Like, I've, you know, I've worked at multiple companies. I'm not put up in, like, you know, the best of the best of the best. I. I just, I don't know. Like, why do you, if you're supposedly a public servant and you're working for a public servant, like, why are you, why are you staying at these ritzy places? I don't know. Just odd. And then almost $11,000 on meals. This is crazy. So then it says, in total, AOC's Q3 filings show she spent $15,489.77 on lodging alone in Puerto Rico. She serves Queens, New York, in New York City. What are you doing? Or what is your campaign doing? Spending $50,000 in total in Puerto Rico so that she can get box seats at a Bad Bunny concert. Is that going to get people in New York to keep voting for her? How is that helping her campaign? And again, you're allowed to go on vacation, right? I mean, everyone, I think even public servants are allowed to go on vacation, go on vacation to their family or whatever. But this isn't a vacation. These are business expenses. And I think in a perfect World, we would have term limits. Four years, eight years max. And lawmakers should stay put for that time. I'm not saying you can't go on vacation with your family, but stay in D.C. go to your district. Like, go on a vacation. But using campaign funds to go gallivant all over the country is odd to me. And Jasmine Crockett has been doing the same thing. She was like. She was spending money on, like, Vegas hotel rooms and stuff like that. It's just crazy to me. Go to work.

Co-host or Guest (22:24)

Is it okay if you put your campaign funds on black? Does that mean you roll up to the roulette table and you put some money on black? Tr. Oh, Try and double it. Is that allowed?

Haley Karenia (22:32)

Oh, in Vegas. No. I would say no.

Co-host or Guest (22:35)

No.

Haley Karenia (22:36)

I'm not about it. Nope. Nope. I would not want that.

Co-host or Guest (22:41)

Jasmine Crockett can't walk up to the roulette table and.

Haley Karenia (22:44)

No.

Co-host or Guest (22:45)

Throw her. Throw her donations on black.

Haley Karenia (22:47)

Her campaign donations. It's crazy. It's so crazy. Bad Bunny. I don't know what's worse, gambling or a bad Bunny concert. Gambling is worse. Way worse. Anyway, also, this is. These are just bad decisions by Democrats. This is the theme here. But Gavin Newsom, he is proud of being the most pro trans, as he claims. Governor, listen to this.

Co-host or Guest (23:15)

So we didn't get into trans sports. That's an issue no one wants to hear about because 80% of people listening disagree with my position on this. But I. But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn't a political evolution. It was position.

Haley Karenia (23:29)

Being that I. I don't think it's.

Co-host or Guest (23:31)

I. I want to see trans kids. I have a trans godson. I'm not. There's no governor to sign more pro trans legislation than I have. And no one has been a stronger advocate.

Haley Karenia (23:39)

I didn't know that Gavin Newsom has a trans godson. Can we look into that? Who is that? Who in his family has a trans kid? That just seems like something you pull out of your butt if you're a Democrat lawmaker. Because no one can really prove it. You. You can just, like, say that you're trans or say that you're queer or something.

Co-host or Guest (23:58)

Didn't he on Charlie Kurt, when Charlie Kurt came, say the complete opposite?

Haley Karenia (24:02)

Well, no. Charlie Kirk got him to say that it's unfair that trans women compete against women in sports. Then here he is again. Andy and I talked about this on the show last night. Gavin Newsom, he needs to pander to the far left if he runs for president. He also needs to Pander to the right and independence. He's screwed, especially on issues like this.

Co-host or Guest (24:29)

To just say all of the things and hope that's what he's doing.

Haley Karenia (24:33)

That's what he's doing. He's hoping that, like, the progressives hear him on the New York Times saying that he's the most pro governor ever. But. And then he's hoping that, you know, those people will never listen to the Charlie Kirk's podcast. They'll never know that he said that. And then he goes over and, you know, right wingers are hearing him say this. It's like, it's just a total mess. They're just losers. But anyway, he's getting a lot of flack for this, obviously, because being the most pro trans governor ever is not a flex. This is embarrassing. Like, really, really embarrassing. And it hurts kids is what it's doing. There's, again, there's no such thing as trans kids. There are just mentally ill adults that push this ideology on children. And it's sick. It's a form of abuse. But anyway, he's getting hate for this. And Gavin Newsom's press office on X doubled down on this. Look at this. So the GOP that account posted a photo of Gavin Newsom's face, and it's pretty ominous. It's black and the white, and it just has the quote, I want to see trans kids. And they attribute that to Gavin Newsome in the clip that we just played. And his press office just, quote, tweeted it and said, RT retweet. So they are totally, shamelessly pro trans kids. Pro trans kids in is a really gross stance to take. It's really gross and it's abusive. There is no such thing as a trans kid. Kids do not wake up and say, I think that I feel like a boy when I'm really a girl, or, I don't want to be a boy anymore. I want to be a girl. I mean, you don't have those feelings as a child. And if you do, it's something that you get help for or you don't affirm it. You say, well, why do you feel that way? I've played videos on this show of a mom saying, you know, her kid comes to her and says, I want to be a boy. And the woman asks her kid, you know, why? Why do you feel that way? And she said, oh, well, someone at school told me, okay, well, now the truth comes out. These kids are not actually trans. Like, someone is telling them these things. Obviously. Like, we know this, but people on the Left. They just eat this stuff up. It's really gross. Then also on the topic of Gavin Newsom, just to fill you guys in, and I've played this video on the show earlier this week, but the White House put out a video of the song Cuffing Season by sza, which was all part of an SNL skit. It's not even like a real song. It's like a joke song. But that song has gone viral on social media, and, and the White House used that song and put it to a video of them handcuffing illegal immigrants, which is very funny. And it went viral. And then Gavin Newsom put his own spin on that video. And they said it's Cuffing season, but they have a different idea of who they want to arrest. Watch this. So here's Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Steve Miller AI in the back of a cop car, and they're handcuffed. And here they are, handcuffed, hands behind their backs, walking away at a courthouse. So this is Gavin Newsom's idea of Cuffing Season, where he wants Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, to go to jail. Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of War, go to jail. Stephen Miller, who's the architect of all of this immigration policy. Gavin Newsom wants to see them in jail. And for what crimes? For what crimes? I mean, and this just goes to show what the Democrats, they want to put their political enemies in jail. They do. We already saw this during Trump's first term. They impeached him twice. They wanted to send him to jail. He got, they got the mug shot, you know, all the felony convictions and all this. They, they tried to get him so bad. This is like they're the Democrats wet dream to see President Trump in the back of a cop car. And it'll never happen. So they have to post AI slop on Twitter to get their fix. That's really what this is. But Marco Rubio, he is kicking woke to the curb, and he's making some changes at the State Department in the font department. So basically, Times New Roman has been the default font of the State Department for decades now. And then in 2023, under the Biden administration, when they were just. The only thing that they were concerned with was dei. Then Secretary of State Anthony Blinken ordered the State Department to switch from Times New Roman to calibri a a different font. So we're moving from a serif font to a sans serif font. And now with the Trump administration, we are, we are going back, back to A reality. And the New York Times reported on this. They were the first ones to get this. And it said this. The change was meant to improve accessibility for readers with disabilities, such as low vision and dyslexia, and people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers. I mean, you've got to be kidding me. The State Department using Calibri font, was supposed to help people with low vision? Like what? None of this makes sense to me. And if you have dyslexia, you have a hard time reading regardless. So, like, I don't know, does changing the font really help? Probably not. And who is this for? Is this so that the American people can read stuff that the State Department puts out, or is this for people at the State Department? I don't know.

Co-host or Guest (30:51)

For some useless employee who wants to do something and justify their position, I.

Haley Karenia (30:56)

Guess Times New Roman is not hard to read. It's like one of the most standard fonts there is. And I posted this on X yesterday. But I think that if the Trump administration really wants to make some changes in the font department, they should make using Comic Sans Ms. Punishable by death, because that is the worst font I've ever seen in my life. It's horrible. I. There was a restaurant in my college town and the menu was in Comic Sans and it's a great restaurant, like, great Italian restaurant. And for whatever reason, I could not get behind the fact that their menu had Comic Sans. It was just like your. Your restaurant looks like a joke now. It's like a kitty font. I hate it. I hate it. Ban it. Ban it. Abolish it. Get rid of it. I hate Comic Sans and I hate Papyrus. Those are the fonts that I hate.

Co-host or Guest (31:54)

And I say opinions on curls mt.

Haley Karenia (31:57)

Oh, I don't like curls mt. I don't like curls mt. And I don't like Wing dings.

Co-host or Guest (32:04)

No, don't donate on wing Dings. I love some Wing Dings.

Haley Karenia (32:09)

The State Department should make Wingdings their new font.

Co-host or Guest (32:11)

Yes, that's now. That's inclusive. Nobody can read it.

Haley Karenia (32:16)

It's now nobody can read. Oh, my gosh, I'm so hungover. Like, this isn't even funny. And I'm laughing foreign. I'm struggling today, guys. Anyway, I'm going to move now to a more serious topic. Communications Minister Anika Wells in Australia announced that they are going through with a social media ban for children. Listen to this. In one week, Australia will become the first country in the world to ban under 16s from having social media accounts. With one law, we can protect Generation Alpha from being sucked into purgatory by predatory algorithms described by the man who created the feature as behavioural cocaine. Teenage addiction was not a bug, it was a design feature. And on the 10th of December there are going to be withdrawal symptoms. Teenagers will be upset, some will fight to get back on some, some will manage to find their way around the tech and keep their accounts. But I truly believe the short term discomfort will be worth the long term benefits. Every single parent who has talked to me about this since I've been the Minister for Communications has said, thank you, do not back down. And thank you for being the bad guy. Thank you for allowing me not to be the bad guy. Thank you for allowing me to say this is against the law. The government has made this law. So. So I ask them to draw strength. They ask them to ask their child to write to me if that would be of any assistance. I do video messages to transmit this message, whatever it takes, but I do not for a second think that this isn't worth doing. I love how she's like, the government is the bad guy. Yes, yes, they are. And parents are thanking the government for being the bad guy. It's just funny. But, um, part of this social media ban is impacting 10 major social media platforms. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Facebook, they have all complied saying that anyone in Australia who uses these platforms has to be 16 or older. And if you are 16 and under, you can't set up new accounts. This law, they, the government would require all of these social media platforms to remove accounts that were held previously by kids under 16 and it would prevent people from signing up. And if these platforms are caught with younger kids on them, they will face fines to up to $49.5 million if they do not comply. That's a lot of moolah for these companies to have to cough up for every kid under 16 that is caught on these platforms. Now, it's supposed to encourage kids to actually get to talk to each other, get outside, be social, not digitally social, but literally social in the regular sense of the word that we all grew up with. And I can get behind that. That is a nice sentiment, but unfortunately the cat is already out of the bag. I mean, if I grew up on social media, kids now are certainly growing up on social media and they're not stopping. These kids are way more digitally minded and social media savvy than the people in the government trying to shut this down. And, you know, Anika Wells projected that kids are going to bypass this ban and they've already started to do that if there's a will and there is a way. And like I said, these kids are smarter than these platforms anyway. So kids are using dog photos, VPNs and fake IDs. How Australian teens are beating the social media ban. And this is literally the day that the ban went into effect. So they are already, they knew that the ban was coming. They've already figured out ways to get around it. So they're doing that by using their parents accounts. So their parents already had social media accounts. Kids are just going to log on and use their parents accounts or they have their parents start new accounts for them. So the parent can just start a second account, say that it's their second account and then the kids can use them. Okay, so that's one easy way to bypass this. Then other kids are using their parents or older siblings faces for facial recognition. So if they are setting up an account and, and then they say hey big sister who's 18, let me use your face to be able to log in for this. That's one way to get around it. Then a lot of these kids are starting new accounts with fake birthdays because I guess there's, when you sign up for a social media platform it just asks you what your birthday is. It doesn't ask for proof. So kids are just doing that. They are using VPNs to bypass the ban saying that they're in another country. I got a VPN ExpressVPN to be exact promo code scroll. And I did that because I thought when the Tick Tock ban was going to go into effect I would just say that I was in Canada or wherever wasn't going to ban Tick Tock. Didn't end up having to do that. But again this is what kids in Australia are doing. Some girls are just using filters to age their faces or they're putting makeup on to look older. Those facial recognition, they're buying adult looking mesh face masks on T. So they are going on, you know, these budget sites and they're getting masks that look older and they're getting into these social media sites. In some cases kids are even using pictures of their dog to verify their identity because some of the technology on these social media platforms isn't built to recognize dogs faces. So that's another way that they're getting around it. It's totally ridiculous. And it is undeniable that social media has negative impacts on people. Undeniable. I'm addicted to my phone. It's bad. It also has Positive impacts on people. And I don't think that kids should be on social media at all. But is it the government's place to put a rule like this in place? We say this all the time in our country, that we don't want the government parenting our kids. That is the job of parents alone, not woke teachers, not the government. And clearly parents and kids are fooling the government anyway, and they're still making the decisions for their family. So this is useless. It's just useless. This next one, though, you know, with the rise of AI, it's just a little scary. I don't like the AI videos. I don't like the, I mean, sometimes they're funny, but, you know, Gavin Newsom putting the AI video of Trump in handcuffs. It's like, all right, now we have, you know, it's just, it's getting to a point, right? And then they're getting so good. Now the AI videos are getting so good. I saw this. I was gonna play it on the show, and then I forgot, but there was this video of Will Smith eating spaghetti that was, it was put together by. It was AI and they did it in 2023, and it was really bad. Like, he looked crazy. There was all these issues with the video. Like, you could tell that it was fake. And then they used AI in 2025 to recreate that video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, and it looked very real. So it's getting a little scary. And I think in, in the world of news and, and media and new media, yeah, this is. This is it. So here's the original Will Smith video. 2023. This is what an AI video was. You would just say, I want to see Will Smith eating spaghetti, and it looks like claymation or something. And now in 2025, it's much more detailed. I mean, it's not perfect. You could still tell that, like, something is wrong with it, but it's way better than this. He looks like Sid the sloth from Ice Age in this video. So I don't know, but the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, he went on the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon, and he said that he uses ChatGPT. He uses AI and he uses it to raise his kids. Watch.

Co-host or Guest (40:47)

And do you use ChatGPT when, when raising your baby? I, I, I do. I, I, I mean, I feel kind of bad about it because I, we have this, like, genius level at everything, intelligence, sitting there, like, waiting to unravel the mysteries of humanity. And I'm like, why does my kid stop dropping his pizza on the floor and laughing, like, yeah, you know, and so I feel like I'm not asking a good enough question, but it is. I, I don't. I cannot imagine having gone through that, like figuring out how to raise a newborn without chat. Clearly people did it for a long time. No problem.

Haley Karenia (41:18)

Yes.

Co-host or Guest (41:18)

But, yeah, so, so I know, like, it's.

Haley Karenia (41:23)

Yep, people did do that because we have natural instincts. And you can also ask your parents. But this is like, it kind of reminds me of Google and how, you know, people used to get from point A to point B before getting the address online, or they were using maps, they weren't using their phones. Right. And I did a study in college or I did a paper on a study in college called the Google Effect. And it is really scary how used to technology our brain gets. And basically the Google effect says that because we know that Google is there, our brains don't remember anything anymore. Your brains will remember some things, but your brain will remember them more if you Google them multiple times. And you, you almost know your brain knows not to memorize these things because it doesn't have to. It's like wasted brain capacity and wasted brain space. Because you know that you could always just go to Google and Google will always be there, and then the answer is there. So you don't need to like, waste brain space memorizing these things, which is scary to think about because that was Google that's been around for decades to think of how reliant we've gotten on Google. Because I'm thinking, well, if I don't know the answer to something, I'll just Google it. How is that any different from people using AI instead of Google? They're using Chat GPT instead of Google. It's like a, an alternative. Right. So a newer, even smarter, probably alternative. So, you know, when he was using that example, my, I, yeah, I'm raising my kid and I couldn't imagine raising him without Chat gbt. It's kind of like saying, I couldn't imagine raising my kid without Googling stuff whenever I have a question. And that's kind of normal. Like, if you put it into that perspective, like, it's really not that crazy. Although he said in that video that he was questioning why his kid dropped his pizza. Unnecessary question.

Co-host or Guest (43:30)

I mean, it does. It sounds infinitely more dangerous for the parents than it does the kids. The kids are still getting an answer in the short term at least. Right. But the parents are now losing. Losing this natural, instinctive.

Haley Karenia (43:43)

But then the kids are never. The kids are never Going to live in a world that doesn't have AI?

Co-host or Guest (43:49)

No, for sure. And the long term is definitely more detrimental to kids. But in the short term, in these early years, like learning how to parent is a very valuable skill as well.

Haley Karenia (43:56)

Right.

Co-host or Guest (43:57)

And it's completely gone.

Haley Karenia (43:59)

And people, people used to use books, right? They what to expect when you're expecting and all these other books that people read when they're, you know, having a baby. Okay. Now people are just googling questions that they have.

Co-host or Guest (44:11)

Well, there's no. You can't find in the parenting book. Why did my kid throw a pizza at the wall?

Haley Karenia (44:15)

Right.

Co-host or Guest (44:16)

You're not gonna get why A dissertation on why your kid dropped a pizza like you would from AI.

Haley Karenia (44:20)

Yeah, but why do you even need to know that your kid just dropped something? Like it's a big deal.

Co-host or Guest (44:25)

Correct. But I mean, it's. The fact that he's even asking the question is pretty kind of dumb.

Haley Karenia (44:29)

But. So I'm gonna get a little conspiratorial here because I'm thinking of how reliant people are on AI and it is very scary. And because I just talked about the Google effect where like our brains have actually changed and adapted to having access to the Internet. How are our brains and bodies going to adjust to having AI? And AI we just saw in that video from 2023 to 2025 has gotten so, so much more advanced. When you talk to ChatGPT instead of Google, like Google doesn't know you really. I mean, you could, it could take your data and know some certain things about you, but people aren't talking to Google like a friend. People are creating relationships and rapport with their AI chatbot, where your AI knows when you're joking, your AI knows when that guy is being sarcastic and he does videos asking his AI stupid questions. Like they. It's way more intuitive. And I wonder, are we going to get to a point where our brains are going to regress so much that we will need AI to operate on our behalf? Because I'm thinking about kids in college, like they're not even writing papers anymore. So then it's like over time, like this isn't going to happen overnight, but over time people aren't going to be able to write, sit down and write 10 page papers. Is that like a totally necessary skill? I'm not sure. But it's interesting to think of, like how our brains and our bodies are going to adapt. Not for the better, but we're going to be useless without technology. We're going to be Completely useless without AI and basically we're going to like need robots like Neo to do stuff for us. Like people are going to stop doing things because they have AI or robots or something to rely on and it's just very scary. Anyway, Wall.

Co-host or Guest (46:30)

It's Wally. Wally is.

Haley Karenia (46:32)

It is, yeah, yeah.

Co-host or Guest (46:34)

We're all going to be fat and in floating chairs and telling little robots.

Haley Karenia (46:38)

Who knew it was a documentary. It was a documentary. Yeah, it's scary. Quick little update here in Florida. There is a stretch of road in Palm beach that is going to be named after President Trump, which I think is pretty cool. West Palm beach city leaders, they came together and they are going forward with plans to rename. It is a 44 mile stretch of southern Boulevard and it is going to be called President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. And it's very fitting because this is from Palm Beach International Airport all the way to Mar a Lago, the winter White House. So all the way to his residence, President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. I love it. Very fitting. I love it. All right, let's get into some scrolling time. All right, well this guy, he's living in Hawaii and I thought that Hawaii was super woke, but apparently not. This guy walks around his neighborhood with a Trump shirt on and this is the response that he's been getting. Watch.

Co-host or Guest (47:56)

Morning. Good morning.

Haley Karenia (48:03)

Morning. Seems to be pretty cordial.

Co-host or Guest (48:08)

Morning.

Haley Karenia (48:11)

Ben.

Co-host or Guest (48:12)

Good morning. No, no golf today, just a driving range. How many miles you doing this morning?

Haley Karenia (48:23)

Yeah. Good for you, man.

Co-host or Guest (48:24)

That's awesome. Hey, what's up brother? Good to see you, man. Morning.

Haley Karenia (48:31)

Hey, thank you. Dang. I thought that all Trump supporters were evil Nazi bigots, but apparently this guy can wear his Trump hat and his Trump shirt and walk all around town and he's just, he's the mayor. He's the mayor. So. So I love to see it. I there are some other videos of people who walk around in Trump hats and maybe they're in, I don't know, less conservative areas and they're not treated with such respect. But I thought that that was pretty cool. This next one is a video of someone in a self driving car. She's joking. This is a Tesla. She's joking that she had a tough long shift and thankfully she has the self driving option to drive herself home. Watch. Thank God for my self driving Tesla because how the F was I going to drive home after that night shift and you could see her in the front seat and she's seemingly passed out. I don't have a Tesla. Do you guys? You don't have Teslas I don't have.

Co-host or Guest (49:30)

A Tesla, but my car has lane assistant adaptive cruise.

Haley Karenia (49:34)

Okay.

Co-host or Guest (49:34)

And my eyes have definitely shut for longer than they should have on the highway.

Haley Karenia (49:39)

Wow. Don't admit that.

Co-host or Guest (49:43)

I didn't admit that.

Haley Karenia (49:44)

No, I'm just kidding. People. I mean this, this happens to people, obviously. And I'm not saying minutes.

Co-host or Guest (49:49)

Like this is like three seconds, right? Wake up and come to.

Haley Karenia (49:52)

Right? Yeah, yeah. I have lane assist, which I, I like, I don't have. I don't think I have that other thing. What did you say?

Co-host or Guest (50:00)

The adaptive cruise, where just the cruise control doesn't run in the car in front of you. Sure you do.

Haley Karenia (50:06)

I don't think so.

Co-host or Guest (50:07)

If you have lane assist, you have adaptive cruise.

Haley Karenia (50:08)

Really?

Co-host or Guest (50:09)

For sure.

Haley Karenia (50:10)

I don't know. There's a lot of buttons in my car that I don't know what they do.

Co-host or Guest (50:14)

Like the, like the wiper fluid?

Haley Karenia (50:15)

Yeah, wiper fluid. I needed my oil change. I was like, this is too much. But someone in the comment section of this tick tock video said that people who do not own Teslas. Here's a fact for you. After four strikes, your eyes not being on the road, phone in your hand, sleeping, something like that, an automatic emergency light and stop will happen. And you are no longer able to use this self driving feature for the rest of the day. So four strikes, you're out. So basically if you close your eyes, I wonder for how long. But also if you're in a self driving mode in your car, you should be able to like close your eyes or look off the road or text or something. Then what's the. If you have to be like attentive, then you might as well just drive. Like what is the purpose of self driving if you have to be paying attention and alert on the road?

Co-host or Guest (51:11)

Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the, the prices. There's a subscription for that full self driving, but whatever it is, it's not worth it. If I still have to drive.

Haley Karenia (51:18)

Right. Then what's it? Just drive like what? Like your foot's tired. I don't get it. Like what? I don't know. Like how does it really help you if you still have to be, you know, you can't be texting, you can't be sleeping and your eyes have to be on the road. You just like sit. You don't have to put your hands up. Like, I don't know, I don't get it. It's just dumb. Again, I, I'm not for self driving. I think that that's crazy. I would never get into a Waymo or any self driving car not doing it. Ask me in 30 years and I'll probably have a self driving car or something. But as of right now, I'm. I'm not, I'm not for it. All right. Art Basel took place in Miami, big art festival. And this artist created Jesus Christ out of wine corks and also wine openers. Very cool. Look at this. Last 10 years. So I have like giant bags of corks. And so the crown on Jesus head, I didn't know is made out of the corkscrew. Like I love what you did. Very, very cool. And I love that you put the openers too as like the thorns and the corks are just different colors. Maybe she burned some of the corks.

Co-host or Guest (52:35)

Burn or paint. Definitely.

Haley Karenia (52:36)

Yeah. Burnt or paint and, and made Jesus's face out of that. So that's very cool. I saw some other ones, some really interesting because I don't know, I associate art Basil with the banana that was taped on the wall. Like just stupid art installations that are not thought thoughtful and not. Don't require any talent. But then I saw some very cool ones like this one, and I, I just thought I would share. All right, let's get into blind reactions Ghee. I. I got here and I had these on my table, my desk here, three, two, one. And I said, what is this? And Ghee said, well, they're for blind reactions. And I said, do I have to read them now or do I read them on the show? And he said, read them on the show. Oh, so do I do one, two or three? First one that, duh. I didn't know if we were like three, two, one, blast off or what. We'll start with one. Denzel Siggers Sigers is a 27 year old former Navy medic from Atlanta. He says he went from 55 to 61 in a painful height augmentation surgery performed in Turkey for over $81,000. So he added what, six inches to his height? Okay, here's the TMZ interview with this, this fellow.

Co-host or Guest (54:01)

Tough, long procedure and recovery and all. So why did you do it? It's just something I've always wanted since I was a kid. You know, all the men in my family were taller. So I decided to do it for myself as well. You decided to do it for yourself. You obviously looked into this procedure. Am I correct with the way I'd always heard it? Not that I was looking into it, but the way I'd always heard it was that it was Three inches that they could add. You have found a way to add seven.

Haley Karenia (54:28)

It was seven inches.

Co-host or Guest (54:29)

No, eight. Eight. He was five. Five. And now you're right. Eight, eight inches. How did you do that? The three inches come from the upper legs over in Turkey, which is why I did it in Turkey. They could do. They do upper and lower, because lower is highly recommended against. They break the bone and they put a rod in between the bone and you stretch the rod, which stretches the bone out over a period of time, which takes about three months per surgery. So the first one I did was three months. The second one I did was three months. Everything stretches together, which accounts for the loss of mobility and all these different things because your muscles are stretched past their normal limits. So you just regain muscle. You're six one now. Are there any limitations, side effects to any of this that are still kind of dogging you? No, I haven't had any issues. I'm fully recovered.

Haley Karenia (55:29)

Whoa. This is a crazy thing to do. Listen, girls have boob jobs and whatever else. People go to Turkey for a hair transplants. I am totally cool with people getting something if they really hate something about themselves. If they're really, really, you know, they hate something. They hate their nose. Like, okay, go fix it. You know, but adding 8 inches to your height and his bones have to grow now around this rod. His. He's got a grow. His like. Well, this is Frankenstein.

Co-host or Guest (56:05)

Here's the fun part. It wasn't 8 inches, but I did this.

Haley Karenia (56:14)

No, you didn't.

Co-host or Guest (56:15)

Yeah, I did, but it wasn't cosmetic. I had. I broke my leg when I was a kid. There's the short story. And the leg grew too long, so I had uneven legs and so I lengthened the other one.

Haley Karenia (56:24)

Interesting. And did it really hurt?

Co-host or Guest (56:27)

This, I mean, in and out, it's always a surgery. It's not a non invasive surgery. So I mean, but it's the same process. They stick a rod down the middle of the leg, attach to the top and bottom, break the bone in the middle, and then three times a day, you stick a big magnet that turns a screw in the rod and pushes the two halves of the bone apart and they slowly grow together.

Haley Karenia (56:45)

And did it, did the process hurt like the actual lengthening? Yes.

Co-host or Guest (56:50)

No. There's like some weakness and it's not painful, but the actual lengthening part is not.

Haley Karenia (56:58)

I was expecting you to be like, I went to Turkey.

Co-host or Guest (57:01)

No, no, no, no. There's actually experts in Palm Beach. There's a guy, the specialist in Palm Beach.

Haley Karenia (57:05)

Wow. He didn't even have to go to Turkey. But this guy spent $81,000.

Co-host or Guest (57:08)

That's ridiculous. And eight inches is unreal. That's unreal.

Haley Karenia (57:12)

Yeah.

Co-host or Guest (57:12)

I didn't.

Haley Karenia (57:12)

That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. Technology. That's something. That is something. All right, let's do number two. And this says Khloe Kardashian got FL flirty in the comment section of California school teacher Jacob Meyer's social media post. And now the educator is shooting his shot with a viral response. Okay, shoot your shot.

Co-host or Guest (57:35)

So since my post kind of blew up and your comment went a little viral, my entire town knows about it, my students keep bugging me about it, and my family group chat's just been non stop. I figured, why not shoot my shot? This Saturday, I have a staff holiday party, and I would absolutely love if you came as my date. If you can't make that work, then maybe Chris can add me to your holiday party. But in all seriousness, I'm going to be in Southern California during winter break, and I would absolutely love to hear how the rest of your day went.

Haley Karenia (58:05)

Wow. Shoot your shot. He's very handsome. I don't know how old he is. Khloe Kardashian is how old? Khloe Kardashian. She is 40, 41 years old. She's divorced. She's been single for a while. I love it. I think she needs. I. I like Khloe Kardashian out of all the Kardashians. She's very funny, and I always thought that she was kind of a breath of fresh air on the show. She's. She's just. She's got a good personality, and I want her to be happy and find love. So maybe it's the school teacher. She doesn't need money. Okay, so this is. On the left is Lamar Odom, her first husband. And then was she married to Tristan Thompson?

Co-host or Guest (58:54)

I don't believe so.

Haley Karenia (58:55)

They had. I think they had a baby. True. Chloe Kardashi, but he was cheating on her. Lamar Odom was also cheating on her and doing drugs and stuff. So she hasn't really had the best luck. I think this school teacher have a type there. She does have a type, but this guy is handsome. And I think she. She obviously doesn't need money, so I think this would be a good option for her. Break the. Break the spell, you know, I think it would be good. I think it'd be good for her. Okay, last blind reaction here. During a jump in Queensland, Australia, a skydiver's reserve parachute accidentally deployed and Snagged on the wing flap of a Cessna Caravan aircraft at approximately 15,000ft. This sounds like a nightmare. What happens? I mean, he's just. It's. He's stuck on the. His parachute is stuck on the wing of the airplane. He's just hanging there. I am. So what happened?

Co-host or Guest (60:16)

I'm no skydiving expert, but I believe every person has two shoots.

Haley Karenia (60:21)

Yeah. But if your chute is stuck to the cord. Oh.

Co-host or Guest (60:26)

Or cut. Or the quick release handle or whatever it is.

Haley Karenia (60:29)

That is horrifying. I would never in a bajillion years go skydiving. I have not one adrenaline junkie bone in my body. There is nothing. Like, I want my feet firmly planted on the ground. I don't even want. I've been snorkeling once. I would never go scuba diving. Like, I. There's a limit to this. I'm not boring, but I want my feet firmly planted on the ground when I do fun things. I went parasailing once. It was fine.

Co-host or Guest (60:57)

Indoor skydiving.

Haley Karenia (60:59)

Oh, in those, like, weird tubes and you, like, fly around. That would be embarrassing. So. No, I wouldn't want to do that. No. All right. I had some questions in here that I'm going to answer quickly, and then we'll. We'll get going.

Co-host or Guest (61:19)

So.

Haley Karenia (61:20)

So someone asked me on Instagram, my biggest pet peeve. They said, you know, they were asking me what my biggest pet peeve is. And I. I have a lot, and I had a hard time actually coming up with them in the moment, but I feel like I should just have, like, a growing list on my phone and. And keep a track of them. But I really. I hate when people say Reese's PC's. I've already covered that on the show. I hate when people are slow. When they're slow walking, slow driving. Don't like that. I've already talked about this on the show. I don't like when people are slow to deplane. I don't like when people are talking on their phone or listening to videos and they don't have AirPods in. And I hate when you go out to dinner with, like, a big group of people and then people start, the check comes, and then people are like, oh, well, I only had one drink and you had two. And then I had. That bothers me. Like, especially if you're out with friends. It's like, we're friends. I'll get you next time. Don't worry about it. You get a drink here. I'll get the next one. I'm very just like, chill about it. So nickel and dimers bother me. Someone asked me, are you Italian? Yes, but only a little bit. Like, my last name is Italian, but I'm Italian. Irish, English, German, Scottish. Just like, white, basically. Bunch of white, yeah. Someone asked, what part of your golf game are you happy with? My driver is great. I can hit a great T ball. And then things start going south for me. So, you know, I'm happy with the drive, but I haven't played in a while, and it gets very expensive in Florida to play now because all the snowbirds come down and, you know, all the prices get hiked up. So I probably won't play golf for a little bit, but, oh, well, maybe I'll just, like, go to the range and try to get better. Someone asked me what the worst job I've ever had was. I've never had a bad job in my life. I've never had a job that I didn't like. I taught tennis and was a camp counselor when I was, you know, in high school and college. I babysat. I loved that. I started interning in local news. I liked that. I worked at Fox. I liked that. Worked at Newsmax. I like that. Hosting the show. I like. I've never not liked a job, so Never had a bad job. And then someone said, what is your favorite Christmas season activity? And that would have to be driving around and looking at people's Christmas lights. And if it's night time and they have their lights on and I can see inside their house to see what they are Christmas decorations are inside, I will also be looking at that. So peeping Haley around Christmas season. All right, thanks for scrolling along with me. You can follow me on social media at Haley car on X, TikTok, Instagram, whatever, truth social. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Bye. Sa.
