The people who brought you the no Kings protests have unironically planned a day of action that requires inaction and they want your kids to get involved. Then ABC and Disney apparently is gearing up for a potential legal battle to defend Jimmy Kimmel. Does the first amendment protect Jimmy's so called joke about the President dying and then weight loss? Drugs are all the rage, but are the ones you're taking counterfeit?

And its purpose is to foster solidarity among workers. And protests are held for workers rights and unions. And because leftists will protest literally anything, anytime, anywhere, they are turning it into a day of action or inaction. To celebrate International Workers Day, activist groups are encouraging people to skip out on work, school, and shopping. So listen to this call to inaction from this woman.

You want to make a loud political statement without like lifting a finger, without like literally even leaving your house, picking up a sign, even dialing your phone. This Friday, take the day off. I mean it. No work, no school, no shopping. You see, Friday, May 1st is International Workers Day. And it's day when millions of Americans are gonna be demonstrating that it's the people who actually do the work that matter, not the billionaires that are hoarding the profits. And that we, the people who actually do the work, are done with letting billionaires buy. The politicians who are driving up prices, funding terror to starting wars, and generally driving the country into the ground. May Day began in the 1880s when workers risked everything just to get an eight hour workday. I mean, they, they organized, they marched, and most importantly, they walked out because they needed to demonstrate that unchecked greed was costing people their lives. Does this bring a bell? Let's disrupt business as usual, okay? Let's enjoy the fruits of our labor and stay rooted and stop letting billionaires reap what the people who actually do the work have sown.

A
It's always about billionaires. They hate billionaires, they hate success. And they've done this before. So February 28th of last year was the first economic blackout organized by the People's Union. Then on March 28th of last year, they had another economic blackout day. Then you may remember around Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, they tried this again. Huge days for capitalism, of course. So they wanted to turn the biggest shopping day of the year, one of the happiest times of the year, one of, you know, full of giving and cheer, into one of economic collapse and disparity. Of course, this doesn't gain much traction. Then in January of this year, they kicked it off with a nationwide ICE out day. And you know, all liberal causes start blending into one another because they're all backed by the same groups, funded by the same groups. So to protest ICE agents, they stopped shopping. It makes total sense if you don't think about it at all. Which brings us to Mayday. And you'd think that if you have to keep doing this sort of thing, it may not be effective. But these people are slow, so they'll get it eventually or they'll just move on to something else. Which is exactly what they, the groups behind these protests want. Mindless NPCs that are willing to get out their pitchforks for insert cause here. Anything. Whatever they tell you to be mad about, they'll get mad about. Whatever they tell you to go march in the street for, they'll march in the street for it. And you'll notice that these protests are just rebranded. It's fight the oligarchy, then it's no kings, Then it's ice out, then it's no kings again. Now it's May Day. It's all the same. And it's all the same people. So what will Mayday accomplish? You take one day off from work, guess where your ass is going to be on Monday? Back at work. You take off the day on Friday. Is anyone really going to miss you that badly? Are the billionaires, are they going to be upset? I don't think so, because we all have bills to pay. We all have mouths to feed. So you take off the day on Friday and then on Monday you're back to doing what you were doing. Is that really an effective protest? You know, if a handful of Americans don't go to work tomorrow, will the billionaires lose a bunch of money that they won't get back? No. And do you think that people are really not going to spend money? This is a great opportunity to virtue signal on social media, but I don't think that any of these people that are saying don't spend money on Friday are actually going to not spend money. What if they need to get something? We live in America. We have everything at our fingertips. You don't need to live without anything. So I don't know. I don't really know what this accomplishes. And this woman claims that this is going to, you know, stick it to the elites in power again. And if this lady doesn't go to work and she spends the day picking her blueberries or whatever, do you think that the elites give a rip? They don't give a rip. They won't change. And this doesn't fix anything. And I'm sorry to break it to this tree hugger, but world peace is still out of reach whether she goes to work tomorrow or not. So they're calling for no work, no shopping, but also no school. Because if woke, teachers aren't going to work. Then who's teaching the kids? No one. So lots of school districts are participating, much to the dismay of working parents, or just parents in general who are probably waking up to the fact that they're sending their kid to an indoctrination camp for eight hours a day. But the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools, they have teamed up to make sure that all the teachers and students who want to participate in a labor rally can. And this all starts at the teachers unions. The teachers union was the one that wanted schools to be closed for business. And then the public schools were saying, well, you know, we do have some requirements to stay open. We've gotta, we've gotta follow the school calendar and kids gotta be in school for a certain amount of days and whatever. And, you know, of course, some families rely on schools to be open during the week because they go to work. So the Chicago Public Schools, they said, you know, anyone who wants to participate in Mayday, they can do that, but voluntary, it's. No one's going to be forced to do it. No student or staff member is obligated to participate in it. But the state law allows for students grades 6 to 12 to be excused one day per year to participate in a Civic event. So CPS said if students between the grades of 6 and 12 want to participate, they can, but they need to get parental advice or permission rather first. So, okay, I. I guess parents have to sign off on this. And honestly, like, do parents even care? I think a lot of parents aren't paying attention to what's happening. And if they're going to work and their kid comes to them and say, hey, can you sign this? We're going to this field trip or something, the parents are probably gonna be like, yeah, sure. And then they have no idea that their kids out in the streets at a political rally, a labor union rally, a workers rally, which is so ironic that they're having children that don't work protesting on behalf of people who work. But anyway, they did say, the Chicago Teachers Union and public schools, they did say that if your kid's teacher is out protesting, they will find someone to fill in. The show must go on. But in other states, the show will not go on. They are closing schools altogether. And the reasoning behind the protests seems to vary from state to state. This isn't all, like, workers rights related. So in Madison, Wisconsin, schools are completely closed and the teachers are demonstrating in support of immigrants. So it turned into May Day. Workers rights, immigrants, same shit, different day. You know, like, this is what I'm saying. All these protests end up being the same thing. It's the same people. I'm sure if, you know, we're going to see videos and stuff from These protests tomorrow, I'm sure popping up, and I'm sure I'll cover it on Monday. But I'm sure there are going to be signs about Renee Good and Alex Preddy. I'm sure there are going to be signs about fight the oligarchy. There's going to be no kings, there's going to be reproductive rights. And, you know, all these just end up becoming the same thing. The point is, though, they just don't want you to work. They want to see you out in the streets. They likely want escalation between protesters and cops to make headlines and drive a narrative. And the Madison Teachers Inc. The union that represents the teachers and staff, said that about 70% of the members would participate in this, quote, a day without Immigrants. So because most of the teachers and staff are set to participate in these rallies, they didn't have enough staff left to teach the kids in school. They actually feared that the lack of staffing would be a danger to the children. So because all of these woke weirdos wanted to go stomp their feet, they're going to have to close school altogether. And they're treating it like an emergency snow day. Even worse, in North Carolina, they've had the most school closures because of this thing. Between 17 and 20 districts out of 115 are participating and will be completely closed. And a lot of these decisions are being made last minute, which I'm sure working parents are thrilled about. Nothing like having to take the day off from your job because your kid's teacher wants to stomp around with a sign. Thousands of teachers are set to descend on Raleigh, North Carolina to demand higher pay. So, you know, in some states, they're rallying because of immigrants. These people seem to actually be on target here with this working rights thing. So they're demanding higher pay. And the North Carolina association of Educators has organized what they're calling the Kids Over Corporations rally Kids Over Corporations. But the kids aren't being taught, so they're ironically protesting the corporations over kids. I always find it funny when people don't want to go to work to show how valuable they are, and then they're stomping their feet because they think that they deserve more money, but they won't go to. They won't go to work. Wouldn't it be better to show your worth by going to work and maybe improving the test scores and proficiency levels of your students? That seems to be a foreign concept for teachers these days. Just crazy. Also a foreign concept is Jimmy Kimmel taking accountability for his actions. He Likes to poke the bear and then cry when faced with the consequences of his own actions. And he does it on purpose. I think he does it to get our rise out of the President and for attention. And in true Democrat fashion, Jimmy Kimmel goes low. And I'm a big fan of comedy. I even like when comedy pushes the envelope, even. But joking about the President of the United States dying and the first lady being happy about it is disrespectful. Then, of course, when the joke is made two days before the third assassination attempt on the President, you have to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and question whether or not you're part of the problem. And Jimmy doesn't see it like that. Of course, he doubled down on the joke joke, saying he was just poking fun at their age gap. But that wasn't it. He said that Melania looked like a glowing widow, meaning she would be better off without her husband. And while Jimmy Kimmel and hordes of deranged leftists may think that it is quite rude and insensitive to suggest that a wife would ever want to lose her husband under any circumstances. And Melania Trump, she put out a statement. This was a few days ago now, but basically calling on ABC to say, you need to take care of this. So she said, Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy. His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How can you scroll down for me? My big old head's in the way. I can't see. Thank you. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community? So I echo all of that. And of course, the President had his wife's back, echoing her calls to have Jimmy Kimmel be fired. And he said on Truth Social, jimmy Kimmel should be fired immediately by Disney and abc. Thank you for your attention to this matter and signed it President Donald J. Trump. And in response, the Federal Communications Commission has launched an investigation into eight local broadcasting licenses used by abc. And this is years ahead of when they would have to reapply for their licenses. But the FCC is well within their rights to do so to ensure that the company is fulfilling public Interest obligations. So Disney provided this statement. ABC and its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with FCC rules and serving their local communities with trusted news, emergency information and public interest programming. We are confident that the record demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications act and the First Amendment and are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels. Of course, I'm sorry. Our focus remains, as always, on serving viewers in the local communities where our stations operate. So based on them saying we are prepared to show through the appropriate legal channels, it seems like they are up to defend Jimmy Kimmel's constitutional right to hateful rhetoric in court. And you know, he does have a right to be hateful and disgusting and vile. But free speech also has consequences. And not that anyone asked for this, but Chris Cuomo decided to weigh in on all this. This is what he had to say.

Breaking news is bad news for Jimmy Kimmel fans. The latest is that the ABC stations that are being targeted by the FCC were just told internally this means from the corporate side, not from the government side to pull the Kimmel promos for this week. You know what that means? This. You may like it, you may not not, but it's not about Kimmel. It's about the levers of power. So this guy doesn't like a joke, and now he's using federal agencies to shut down a broadcast show because he doesn't like it. Think about that now. Again, it's not about Kimmel. I'm, you know, whether you're a fan or not, it doesn't matter. Whether you think he's funny or not. Doesn't matter.

Matter.

There's no question that the company can take him off. Like if he pissed off the head of Disney, I totally get at a party or something, you know, it's something trivial. I totally get taking him off. You're an employee. It's how it works. May not be the smartest business decision, but that's their decision to make. But this is a president whose wife got upset, and now he's using the levers of government to do something about it. And you're okay with that? You think you signed up with that? You think that's making us great? You think that's cleaning up the deep state and lawfare and all the things you said you were against. Really,

it's almost as if they have memory hold. The fact that multiple corporations de platformed a sitting president because they didn't like his speech. A president that the majority of the country supports, but he pissed off the Wrong people. Trump pissed off the people who had the power to silence the most powerful man in the world. Again. He's a horrible king. Just a horrible king. And the left set the precedent. None of them were fighting for President Trump's right to free speech. They were cheering on his censorship. And he. They also seem to memory hole the fact that the Biden administration used their power at these big tech corporations and social media platforms to silence not only the President, but also just regular people, conservatives who didn't want to take the vaccine, for example. The Biden administration bullied Meta into doing that. So they only have a problem when it goes one way. And the difference is that Jimmy Kimmel has not been elected by the American people. He's just been hired by abc, Disney to host a show. And when that show doesn't make the customers happy, that company has a decision to make. So, tbd, I want to talk to you guys about drugs. Shall we? Let's get into drugs. So the Washington Post did a crazy article about how opioid overdose deaths are plummeting, and they just didn't want to thank President Trump for it. So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released their latest provisional numbers for overdose overdose deaths nationwide. And they're down big time. It projected that 71,542 deaths in a 12 month period ending in October 25 was a 17% drop compared with the last October. So this was a 35% drop in the peak numbers from 2023 to 2024. 2025, opioid deaths are down. And they say that many factors are contributing to this trend. And this is what the. The journalist, Sam, whatever his name is, says many factors have contributed to this trend. But I think the most important reason is clear. Fentanyl supplies have dropped thanks to collaborative and wide ranging counter narcotics strategies. Nothing else explains the timing and abruptness of the decline. Nothing else. Nothing else explains the decline and the timing of that decline. He then goes on to essentially admit that Trump's border plan was more effective in preventing the flow of drugs over the southern border. Without actually mentioning Trump or giving him credit, he said this, not coincidentally, in my view, this began shortly after federal agents from across the US Government implemented a collaborative strategy to disrupt fentanyl supplies. Mexican government agents were also part of the mix. Okay, so whose federal agents were tasked with cleaning up the southern border and taking on the Mexican drug cartels head on? President Trump. He actually did mention Trump once in the article. He said that the Trump administration was carrying on the legacy of the Biden administration. It's crazy. It's so crazy. It's funny, because I don't remember the Biden administration bombing drug smuggling boats and murdering narco terrorists. That wasn't the Biden administration. That was the Trump administration. But if you ask this WaPo reporter, that was Trump just finishing what Biden started. Give me a fricking break. And the Democrats condemned that, by the way, when Trump did that and took that action, because obviously, right, they have to. So the Biden administration's open border policies emboldened the Mexican drug cartels. If anything, they sent the message that the border was wide open. Come on in. And the cartel smuggled drugs and humans, including children, across the border with adults that weren't even biologically related to them. They don't care about this stuff. And then, because the Trump administration is in office now, the Chinese government has cracked down on some of the ingredients needed to make fentanyl. And the cartels have been forced to shift their strategy. It doesn't mean that this threat is completely gone and we don't have to worry. But instead of pumping fentanyl into the US they're pumping it elsewhere, Europe, the uk, et cetera. And then when it comes to us, they are focusing more heavily on cocaine, meth and other synthetics. But a closed border does help. But now the Mexican drug cartels are pushing a drug that is more deadly than fentanyl, and it is called carfentanil, which is a veterinary grade tranquilizer used on elephants, rhinos and bears. So you can imagine that if this is a drug that can, you know, put a rhino, a bear and an elephant to sleep, imagine what that could do to us. And the drug lords are mixing this carfentanil with fentanyl. And just the dose of a size of a grain of salt can kill you. And Narcan won't revive you. A two milligram injection of this can kill 50 human beings. Now, I don't want to freak anyone out, and this is not new information, but ozempic and other GLP1s are being altered by criminals in some cases and diverted. So there is now an issue of black market. Ozempic and weight loss. Drugs have become so popular in the United States that obviously criminals and drug lords are going to want to get a slice of the pie. The most of the counterfeit GLP1s, they come from China, India, Mexico, Turkey and the UK. And in some cases, these criminal enterprises will be able to fake the drug applicator, packaging and everything. It will look exactly like Manjaro or Ozempic. They will put it in something that looks exactly like what you've gotten, but something completely different will be in the tube. And this is because the pharmaceutical companies, they test these drugs to make sure that they're okay for consumption. But then once they get on the black market and they're sold back to the consumer for cheaper or an entirely different substance, there is no oversight, there's no testing. Drug dealers and criminals don't care if what they give you kills you. So even if you get your hands on real Ozempic or real wovi, you may need to be on it for your entire life, which we've sort of saw the writing on the wall. But now there's a new study that says if you've been on these drugs, it's, it's a quick fix and it's not going to be something that you take with you for life. If you are on one of these GLP1s and you think that this conversation is going to trigger you or you're going to get mad at me because you all know how I feel about this, I do not think that these are good to be on. I don't. I'm, I'm anti GLP1 and I've got friends on them and I'll talk about that in a second. But you might just want to, you know, check in with me later in the show, maybe come back in 10 minutes because I'm going off on Ozempic and all this. Being on this drug is big pharma's dream. It is their dream to have users who even get onto, you know, they, they market these GLP1s now as if you want to lose 10 pounds, just get on a GLP1. If you want to lose 10 pounds, Just this is a quick fix. In a few months you'll be down ten pounds and then you could go off of it. But they want you to be on it for life. They want users to become lifelong customers. And not too many studies were done on the effects of Ozempic on people who didn't have the diabetes. In fact, OIC has never been FDA approved for people who don't have diabetes. And yet people are on it. So anyone who's on it because they wanted to lose a few pounds, they are just part of this unofficial guinea pig study. Now, people on WOVI can rest assured that it has been FDA approved for plain old weight loss. So if you're on like name brand oic, not FDA approved for you. If you're not diabetic. If you're on WeGovy or some of these other ones, they have been FDA approved, so just don't want to freak anyone out. But now that this GLP1 craze has been going on for a few years now, we have a good sample size of people to study. And they found that these people are going to gain the weight back rapidly. They're going to gain it back four times faster than if they had just used diet and exercise. So you could lose ten pounds in a few months. And then if you got you decide to go off of it because you don't want to be a big pharma experiment for your whole life, you're going to be fat again. It is quite literally a quick fix that is going to keep people coming back. And I have friends on it and they've gone on GLP1s for different reasons and they always say, oh, I can't wait to go back on it. They, they go on it for a little bit. A lot of my friends have gone on it, then they've had to get off of it because they've gotten pregnant and they want to have kids and they say, oh, well, now that I've had the kid, I can't wait to go back on Ozempic because instead of doing it the hard way, losing weight is very hard and it takes a ton of discipline and it's much easier to take a shot and just watch the pounds fall off without making any changes to your lifestyle. And I have another friend who has lost a ton of weight doing the carnivore diet. Before we used to work out of the gym together all the time. So I know she's capable of losing weight and I know she's capable of making the lifestyle changes and doing it the right way. She has. Now she's on Ozempic and she tells me that she stopped working out. She eats like a half of a Chick Fil a sandwich and then throws the rest out because she's not hungry. So imagine you come off of this drug and. And now you're out of the healthy habits of going to the gym and eating right and you're in the habit of just eating less fast food. Like, oh yeah, I'll just eat Chick Fil A, but I'll eat half. Once you get off the drug, you're going to want to eat the whole thing again. You're going, it's just setting you back. It's just taking a little longer for you to have to get back to Doing it the right way. And it's going to be even harder because you're gonna come off the drug, you're gonna gain all the weight back four times faster. And then you're gonna have to do a lot more work the hard way. And a lot of these people are not gonna wanna do the hard work the hard way. And I get that. It sucks. It sucks. You have to go to the gym every day. You've gotta eat right. It sucks. And that's why people are choosing to do it the easy way. So when you come off this drug, you know, what do you think is gonna happen? I will say that. Do you guys know anyone on GLP1s? Do you know anyone that's taking it? No. Really? I wonder if you know people and they're just not admitting to it. It's so funny. Like some people are on it and they. They admit to it and then some people are on it and they don't admit to it. And it's like, okay, but you're like super skinny now. I always find that funny because you could tell it when you have Ozempic face. You can tell and it's different from like real natural weight loss. Can you pull up the picture of Olivia Wilde? This has been going viral on X now, but Olivia Wilde, gorgeous actress, she looked gorgeous before and was very thin and now she's on Ozempic and looks totally crazy. If you can find it, it's like on all over Twitter. If you search Olivia Wilde on Twitter, you'll find it. Yep, Looking right now, but yeah, it is. It is wild to see what's happening to these people because they start like hollowing out in their temples like right here and they're wasting away. They call it temporal wasting. And then their eyes are really deep set and huge and they look like skeletons. It's very, very scary. Jump scare. Look at her. Look at her. The shape of her head is different and I know that her hair is pulled back, but this is crazy. This is crazy. Gorgeous woman on the left. She looks very healthy. Still thin, but healthy. Doesn't look any. Nothing concerning. Then you see her on the right and her eyes are just bulging out of her head. She's got these dark, you know, these dark circles. She's got. These lines are just like. Everything is more pronounced because she's got nothing. It's like all the fat was sucked out of her. Everyone in the chat is crazy. Very sad. No way. That's Olivia Wilde. What the. No longer attracted. Oh my God. Holy eyeballs. Holy Shit, dude, that can't be real. Look, everyone in the chat is freaking out. Yeah. So the, the most annoying part of the GLP1 craze for me is that these people claim that they have this thing called food noise that nobody else in the world has. Like just them and it's, they've just rebranded hunger. Like, I also deal with food noise. I just call it hunger. And you know, this is, they just, they gatekeep it. Like nobody else experiences this phenomenon, but then, and everyone experiences it. GLP1 users will claim that, you know, there's something like medically wrong with them that prevents them from indulging in food and succumbing to their every craving. And I just wanted to let you know that as you know, I'm, I'm not on these weight loss drugs, but I want to binge eat at every meal I do. I'm very hungry. And do I allow myself to do that? No. I want to eat chocolate every single day. Do I allow myself to do that? No. And it pains me because I want to. I want to. And I think about food all the time. I could eat every hour of the day. Do I allow myself to do that? No. And the thing that keeps me from doing that is self control. And it's not easy. It's hard. It's very, very hard. But if you're on this drug, it simulates the feeling of self control and then you go off of it and then you go back to your bad habits. Unless you learn to control them naturally. Again, it just prolongs the process. At some point, unless you want to be a big pharma guinea pig for the rest of your life, you're going to have to do it the hard way. So. So just start now. Just do it the do it the hard way. Anyway. There's this new thing now because everyone's losing weight so rapidly that it's having an impact on wedding dress shops and seamstresses. Watch this popular GLP1 Weight loss drugs are having an unexpected impact on the wedding industry. According to a Wall Street Journal report, specialty stores are struggling to keep up with brides fluctuating sizes, causing expensive alterations to wedding dresses when brides lose weight. So some brides are being asked to sign legal waivers that stores say will protect them from returns if a dress no longer fits. David's Bridal says because of weight loss drugs changing bride sizes rush wedding orders have doubled recently. So this is wild. And I have a lot of friends that have gotten married. I've got two friends getting Married this year. And, you know, we. I've gone with friends to get their wedding dresses, and one of my friends told me that they do. And this was years before the Ozempic craze and the GLP1 craze. And they do make you sign waivers that you're not going to gain weight. And in years past, they said, you know, if you, you know, we're starting to do your alterations on your wedding dress, if you lose weight, no problem. We can always take the dress in. But if we take the dress in and then you gain weight before the wedding, we're not going to be able to make the dress bigger because we already made it smaller. So a lot of wedding dress shops do this kind of thing. They make you sign this contract that essentially says, I will lose weight, I will not gain weight, because it's easier to take in than it is to take out. And now, because people are losing weight so rapidly, it's become an issue because they actually can't keep up with the weight loss. Normally they would say, oh, no, no, no problem. If you lose, you know, two pounds or something, we could. We could take it in. But now women are getting their dresses fit. They're probably, I don't know, let's say they're a size 10, then they're a size 6, then they're a size 4, and it's like, well, now we've got. We've got a whole new dress on our hands. Now they've got to reconstruct the whole thing. So now they're making people sign this waiver that their weight isn't going to fluctuate that much. It used to be in one direction, now it's in both directions. They're like, hey, don't get fat. And then now they're also like, you can't get too skinny because now these wedding dress shops cannot keep up with the weight loss, which is totally wild. And now I'm done shitting on fat people. I'm going to shit on healthy people as well. So if. Don't worry. This is very even here, where we're. We're very even here. We're going to make fun of both sides. So people who have fitness trackers, and I'm one of those people, I wear an aura ring. But I. I feel like I used. I think I had a Fitbit. Fitbit. I had that in college. Then I had a Apple Watch. And I will say Apple Watch wearers. They're a cult. They are a cult.
- [34:30]
D
All right. Hot take on that. You can get some insurance money for getting your steps in. That's why I have mine.
- [34:37]
A
Okay.
- [34:37]
D
For every, every day I get 10,000 steps. I get like, you know, 25 cents or something. But like by the end of the year I get like a rebate check for, you know, being active.
- [34:48]
A
Yeah, I, I have heard that there's some insurance benefits. There's a girl at my gym who has to like clock into the gym every day and she needs like proof of it for her insurance. So yeah, I get that. Um, but yeah, I think there is definitely a dark side to wearing smart trackers. And once you start tracking your steps or once you start tracking your calories and things like that, you can become obsessed very easily. And that is also very damaging as well. And do you find that with your Apple Watch where you're closing your rings and you're like, do you feel bad about yourself when you don't close your rings?
- [35:25]
D
I, I'm not a big ring guy.
- [35:27]
A
Okay, so you don't care about the ring steps.
- [35:30]
D
In the past, I've worked for a fitness company where I've seen what you're getting ready to talk about play a huge role in people's lives where it like becomes all consuming. Correct.
- [35:40]
A
So here's something that I see on social media a lot and this is really only for Apple Watch users, but also Oura rings. I think they're less, you know, I don't know, they're a little less in your face. But this is a big ass ring. Like I would never buy a ring this big. It's. It's ridiculous. So people start to now make fun of people who wear noticeable fitness trackers at weddings. Did you wear your Apple Watch to the wedding that you went to last weekend?
- [36:14]
D
No, I did not. I wore an actual like metal normal human being watch.
- [36:18]
A
So I can, I can say this now. Some people.
- [36:21]
D
Thank you, I appreciate.
- [36:23]
A
Some people wear Apple watches to weddings and other formal events. You got to take the Apple Watch off. Apple Watch is fine if you have to wear it, you know, day to day, whatever. But the Apple Watch at a formal event, if you're wearing a suit or a tuxedo, let me just say you look ridiculous with an Apple Watch on. You do need to get like actual watch jewelry if you are wearing something formal. Now there are brides even who are so addicted now to tracking their steps and closing their rings or whatever that even though it's their wedding day, they can't imagine not wearing their fitness tracker. Now you have a bride in a wedding dress this is supposed to be the most. One of the most important days of your entire life. And you're wearing. You look like a spy kid on your wedding day. Horrible. Horrible. And we're going to get into why people do this. It is an obsession, and it is a. A mental illness, and it is a eating disorder. Essentially. It is an eating disorder where people become so health conscious that it ends up overtaking them. And it's actually called orthorexia. I know everyone's heard of anorexia where you stop eating and, you know, bulimia, where you throw up your food. But orthorexia, I feel like, is talked about much less because it's sort of masked as healthy habits, and it's really, actually unhealthy. And I feel like I definitely have some aspects of this going on where I start obsessing. But with my aura ring, it tracks everything from steps, calories burned, and sleep and things like that. And I always find it interesting, but I don't really take it to heart. Like, sometimes when I burn less calories, I'm like, but I don't really. I don't really care too much. But some people are obsessing to the point where if they don't close their ring on their Apple watch or they don't hit a certain calorie thing, they start obsessing over it. And that can be very, very damaging. So anyway, they did a study saying that researchers found that users, the more that they track their steps and other health trackers, they feel shame when they log that they've eaten unhealthy foods. They get irritated if the app tells them to get up and start moving. And they feel disappointed when they are not able to meet their fitness goals as set by their little tracker. And I can get that. But this takes you down a dark road. Everything in moderation. And let's get into scrolling time. All right. This video has gone viral and the comments are turned off. So this husband is downstairs cooking dinner, and mom is busy doing something else. Take a look. Conservative men would simply lose it. We're coming, finishing up something. My husband calling us down to dinner, but we're a little busy. And the mom is painting her son's nails. Different colors. Blue, yellow, pink. And I have no problem with a man helping to cook dinner sometimes, especially if his wife's wife is busy doing something else. Maybe working. That's a reality for a lot of couples these days. There's nothing wrong with being an active participant in your household. But my question is on the nail Polish. Would your son have naturally gravitated to wearing nail polish? Or are you, as his mother, to trying to force a different outcome or to get attention on social media? Because you know that posting something like this will elicit fiery responses and you'll be rewarded with likes and follows and an opportunity to respond to said comments. Here's her response video.
- [40:26]
E
Yeah, the comments are off because apparently a lot of adults cannot handle a boy enjoying a little bit of nail polish. And that's a little pathetic. I've known this all along, but when kids are mean at school, it's likely because they have mean, intolerant parents. And I think they're in my comment section. I would love to blame male fragility, but there are some ignorant women in there. This one comment, I can't let it go. Let me read it to you because I think if we talk about it, people who think this way might see things a little differently. Yeah, that's probably really naive, but we're gonna try. Love the message of inclusivity, but he doesn't have to be included in overly feminine activities at such a young age to understand what it is. It's as if you're grooming him to be more feminine. It's a very different thing if he's of age, more mentally mature, and understanding of himself, the world around him and what he truly, truly wants to make these kinds of decisions. This is about painting his nails on surface. This sounds reasonable, like not your average troll. Proper use of grammar and sentence structure. Let kids mature before making big decisions. I agree with that to an extent, but here's where it falls apart for me. Nobody says that when a little boy picks up a toy sword or a Nerf gun.
- [41:27]
A
Nobody says, well, slow down.
- [41:28]
E
Is he mature enough to decide if he's into weapons? But he says you're grooming him to be violent and competitive. Well, I kind of think that, but most people don't. The wait until he's older rule apparently only applies when a boy does something that's feminine. And that's the thing. Double standard.
- [41:41]
A
So she posted a video that she knew would rage, bait people, and now she gets to virtue signal how inclusive and progressive she is, this mom, by the way, I follow her on Tik Tok. She posts a lot of content about her sons, and a lot of that content is centered around teaching her sons to be kind and caring and thoughtful and empathetic. And I think that's great regardless of sex. And that doesn't make your son any less masculine. You can play with trucks and dinosaurs and still grow up to be a good man. And wearing nail polish won't necessarily make him a better man. And it's really not a double standard. Nobody questions why a girl naturally takes a liking to the color blue or certain sports or Nerf guns or things that society associates with boys. But I think people would question if it was being forced upon them. You know, if I was a little girl in the bathroom watching my dad shave his face and I asked if I could do the same thing, he would tell me that I don't need to because I'm a girl and men and women are different and that's okay. We should be able to raise our children and teach them about these norms because they're norms for a reason. I also want to show you this video of a pro life activist confronted by this thing. Watch. I do have a question for you. Is this like a fetish? No, like a hemo humiliation king. Because that's like what it is. Like, no, like, like 50. Sure. This man's got a chubby.
- [43:07]
D
No.
- [43:09]
C
That's crazy. That's wild.
- [43:12]
D
Thought she had an oxygen tank on.
- [43:14]
A
When I saw it, I thought the same thing. And I was gonna say that because this guy is out there protesting on behalf of unborn children and this woman walks up to him and has to say, is this a humiliation kink? And the absolute confidence that you need to have to walk up to someone looking like the way that she does, which is very large. She's wearing a. A necklace across her nose that I thought was an oxygen tank as well, given her size. And it was not. It is just a piece of jewelry that she's worn across her face and. Exactly like that.
- [43:58]
D
I'm going to wear this to work tomorrow.
- [44:00]
A
I think you should.
- [44:01]
D
And I will be at work because I'm not protesting.
- [44:03]
A
And I will be making fun of you for it. How's that? But yeah, I, I don't know how you have the. The gall to go up to someone and say what you're doing is a humiliation kink. The way that she is walking around must be a humiliation kink. Frickin weirdo. And she has a neck beard. Play the video again so everyone can take a look at her neck beard. I do have a question for you. Is this like a fetish? No, like a humiliation king. Because that's like what it is. Like. No, like, like 50% sure. This man's got a chubby.
- [44:35]
D
No fetish.
- [44:37]
C
That's crazy. That's wild.
- [44:42]
A
So I don't know what's going on there, but she has this, like, neck thing going on. Anyway, I hope she gets the help that she needs. This is a friend that's too woke. Watch.
- [44:54]
C
Did you just say unhoused? The new term is residentially challenged. Food stamps. You mean nourishment vouchers. Did you just call him blind instead of optically sterile? Squatter is a slur. They're called temporary stealth residents. You shouldn't say he smells bad. He's olfactorially suboptimal. He's not broke. He's financially incapacitated.
- [45:19]
A
This is the left to a T. This is what they do. They rebrand things and come up with new language to just to make themselves feel better. And it really doesn't make any difference aside from the fact that they feel better about themselves. Virtue signaling. But again, calling a homeless person unhoused doesn't make that person any less homeless. Also, unhoused and homeless are synonyms. It means the same thing. So it's like, are you really better than everyone because you come up with a new word? It's absolutely ridiculous. All right, this next video, this is from what, the NFL draft? Correct. This is a video. I don't know who this is. Do you know who this is or where he was drafted?
- [46:04]
D
Unfortunately, I am not an NFL guy, but this video rocks.
- [46:07]
A
Okay. So anyway, as you know, during the NFL draft, you know, they have the. The. The. The players, they are getting drafted. And you see the whole, like, hometown thing where it's everyone on the couch and everyone's, you know, waiting for the moment. You know, where is my son going to go? And this dog was very excited, but not for the reasons that everyone else was. Watch.
- [46:28]
C
With the 73rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the North.
- [46:38]
A
Okay, so boy gets selected. Dog is excited. Dog's waiting around, though, for the perfect moment for a spot to open up on the couch. That's really what the dog's after here. Dog gets a nice pet. Everyone's celebrating dog season opening. Kid gets up, and he's like, perfect. Absolutely perfect. He was just in the way. The dog's happy. Now the dog's on the couch. I love that. I thought that was so funny. This next one, though. Well, this next video I needed to show you as a precursor to the one that I really wanted to show you. And funnily enough. Funnily enough, Funny enough.
- [47:24]
D
Nice, Nice.
- [47:26]
A
I just make fun of liberals for making up words, and I'm making words. So Justin pulled this same video that I'm going to play later in the show. And he was going to do it for blind reactions, but I already pulled it. So anyway, it's crazy town, but if people have ever been to the Iowa State Fair, then you've heard of the husband calling competition. And if you haven't seen it, this is what that's like in the house. Now, how many times do I have to remind you you're married to me. Not the motorcycle. Bruce Brewster. Daddy. Boo Boo Bear Robber. Keith. Keith. Come to dinner, honey bear. Dwayne. Dwayne. Girls, where is your father? Joe, Hurry up. Get your you know what out of the. Would you like to hear me? Okay, we've heard enough. And I feel very badly for these husbands, but I had heard of husband calling before. What I hadn't heard about though was seagull calling. This is something different. I found it hilarious that it was one competition in a thing that I was doing what was very weird. I didn't know about it. So I just thought. And I turned 40 that year and I think that kind of ticked in that I was like, okay, I'm not going to be boring or do only grown up things now. I will, I'll do this competition. So I will say I'm very impressed with the seagull calling. For people listening, human beings were making that noise. Not actual seagulls. But when I watch this back the first time when that woman said, you know, I'm turning 40 now, I thought she was going to say, I'm going to hang up. The seagull calling thing, I'm going to. I'm growing out of it. But she actually grew into it. She said, I'm 40 years old, I'm going to start doing the seagull thing. And that shocked me. I thought that maybe she was going to throw in the towel.
- [49:37]
D
How do you find out you're like super talented. This, I mean, you go to the beach and you if, if a seagull comes to you.
- [49:42]
A
Correct. Great question. Also, I think they probably see that there's a competition, then they see that other people can do it, and then they try themselves to see if they can also do it. That's not something that I'm going to be able to do. I just know someone in the chat said there is hobby horse equestrian competitions. And that's another crazy thing. If you haven't seen that people, humans genuinely try to act like horses and they jump over the, the obstacles and things like that. It is so weird. And they're riding on those little like horse heads that, like, I had when I was a kid, like, those little horse on a stick, horse head on a stick. And you run around. There are grown adults doing that.
- [50:24]
D
Pure athleticism.
- [50:25]
A
And I'm. Yeah, I'm not trying to, like, yuck their yums. If this is your way to get, you know, your. Your steps in, then, you know, good for you. But it is a little odd. I. I wouldn't do it myself. All right, we. We're. We're up to the blind reactions part of the show. So I have not seen. Seen any of these, and I. I don't have explanations. Right. You guys are. Yeah, I got you for these. Okay.
- [50:45]
D
All right, so the first one is not a video, but there is something going on down here since we have, like, the ports and all the cruises. I need your. I need your opinion on this.
- [50:53]
A
Okay.
- [50:54]
D
So a Miami federal jury awarded a lady $300,000 in damages on a Carnival cruise line after she was overserved and at least 14 tequila shots. Now, they found that Carnival was 60% liable. Here's the question. Who's kind of. Who's. Who's the a hole in this situation? The lady who took too many shots, and you have your friends, you have your family there, or Carnival, who's clearly over serving. I mean, she's probably being a little rowdy, right? You know, they work off tips. You know, maybe they were tipping good and they just kept. Kept it going. But, like, what. What's the Haley take on this?
- [51:37]
A
I will. I will say, you know, if you order, let's say, 14 shots, I could go up to the bar and order 14 shots that maybe the bartender thinks are for me and all of my 13 friends.
- [51:51]
D
So one other. One other aspect is this was over the course of a day, so she was, like, day drinking. So, like, oh, nine to five, over the course of about eight hours, she's in the wrong.
- [52:02]
A
I don't know how Carnival Cruise can be 60% in the wrong and she's 40% when she's the one that drank all of it. But I will say, you know, bartenders can be held accountable for overserving people. But, you know, she's not hurting anyone. She's just being drunk on a cruise, I guess.
- [52:21]
D
Yeah. So she's. What spurred this was. She did have, like. She took a tumble, and I think she, like, injured herself mildly down the steps, which I don't know why you're not in the elevator, but that's just personal preference.
- [52:31]
A
She's in the wrong here. She's definitely more in the wrong than Carnival Cruise. In my opinion. You. I mean, you're a grown adult. You're ordering 14 shots, tequila shots.
- [52:41]
D
I just like, you know, at what point does, like, who you're with say, all right, Ashley, dial it back.
- [52:48]
A
So actually, so many people are in the wrong. Carnival Cruise should not be serving 14 tequila shots to the same person. However, it's on her for ordering that many and not knowing her own limit. I'm sure someone could take 14 tequila shots and be totally fine. Clearly, she was not fine. So it's like how if she's super messed up and she's going up to the bar and she's like, hey, can I have another tequila shot? Some bartender's looking her in the eye, and one eye's going this way, and one eye is going this way, and they're like, yeah, sure. And they slide the shot over to her. Then I feel like Carnival Cruise is in the wrong because she's drunk, she doesn't know any better. She, of course, wants another tequila shot, but she should not have it. Like, someone's got to be the adult in the room, and it wasn't her. And to your point about the. The friends, like, who is she with? People are allowing her to act a fool like this.
- [53:37]
D
It just sets a weird precedent. I mean, I've been on one cruise. I didn't do the drink package, but, like, what's stopping people from being like, you know what? Drink package me up. I'm going to go crazy, and if I injure myself, I'm going to make money on this cruise.
- [53:51]
A
Yeah. And people do. Everyone's so litigious these days. Like, they're thinking about how I can make a quick buck. How can I. This is a corporation. How can I take money from the corporation? I mean, people do this kind of stuff, but I don't know why. I don't know. I don't know.
- [54:05]
D
It's a tough. It's a tough dilemma.
- [54:07]
A
Honestly, I think that everyone's in the wrong.
- [54:10]
D
It was like, you walk away equally, like there's no payout. It feels like everybody just kind of.
- [54:14]
A
Yeah.
- [54:15]
D
Like goes separate ways.
- [54:16]
A
Yeah. Like, I can't believe that Carnival Cruise paid her $300,000. This girl got absolutely hammered and fell. That's her fault.
- [54:25]
D
Good take. Good take.
- [54:26]
A
I don't know. Everyone's at fault.
- [54:29]
D
I don't know.
- [54:29]
A
I don't know why they're. They're paying. I don't know why anyone goes. Goes on cruises anyway. I think they're weird, but that's my Hot take. You could not pay me to go on a cruise.
- [54:39]
D
The ocean's scary. That's kind of my.
- [54:41]
A
The ocean's scary, but I don't. What I don't like is the feeling of being trapped. And. And I know that people say that the cruise ship is so big that, like, you don't feel like that, but I don't like the. I would still know that. I'm on a boat. I like being on boats for short amount of times. I wouldn't want to stay on one for a week.
- [55:01]
D
I did an Alaskan cruise. You could see land most of the time. I had a serious blast. Couldn't have been better. No part of me wants to get out in the Atlantic Ocean. I'm. I'm not Jack Sparrow. I'm good here.
- [55:12]
A
No. And someone in the chat said, I don't want to get seasick, but do you feel that way on a cruise ship or. It's moving so slow. You would.
- [55:19]
D
There was, like, one evening where, you know, it was a little rough.
- [55:24]
A
I would not like that.
- [55:25]
D
Yeah, they had the barf bags out, but, like, it wasn't too bad.
- [55:28]
A
I do not like that. And this is a vacation for people. They've got barf bags on the vacation.
- [55:33]
D
They're giving out 14 shots. Haley. Of course it's a vacation.
- [55:38]
A
Someone in the chat said, Haley, it's because in a past life, you were aboard the Titanic. You never know. You never know.
- [55:47]
D
All right, this next video is from Justin. You know, it's right up your alley. I'm just gonna go ahead and play it.
- [55:56]
A
What is this cat doing? I'm sorry? The cat just standing on. On two feet, looking at.
- [56:02]
D
So the comment section, as always, was the best part here.
- [56:06]
A
The cat is probably like, are you okay in there, Birdie? When I. So in my old apartment in Nashville. This is the best part is when people make AI versions of this cat. Okay, so now this cat. Oh, look at him in his tuxedo. He's so handsome. Oh, he's okay, Puss in Boots. He's so handsome. Look at him all dressed up. Oh, he looks like Tim Walls. Oh. Oh, that's all. That's so cute. When I lived in my old apartment, I had one of those showers with the glass door, and Birdie would, like, sit outside the glass door and just, like, meow, like, she did not know what was going on. I don't think she liked seeing me in the water. I think she knew the water is bad news. So maybe this cat is just curious. Like, I don't like to be in water. But why do you?
- [57:01]
D
My cat loves the shower. Before the shower and after.
- [57:04]
A
And then after the shower. Not during the shower. Licking the water droplets off the thing. They're so weird. Do you have another one?
- [57:10]
D
I do indeed. This is 10 out of 10. Grandma. First pitch.
- [57:15]
C
Swinging.
- [57:18]
A
Wow. God. Oh, wow. That's crazy. That's AI. No, this has to be AI.
- [57:31]
C
She is cranking it.
- [57:33]
D
She knew it was gone too. She put her hand up in the air.
- [57:36]
C
No doubter.
- [57:39]
A
Good for her. The granny hit a home run way over the house. Out. Out of the. Out of this world.
- [57:46]
D
This makes me think she does stuff like this a lot because her family was not shocked.
- [57:50]
A
Not phased. Yeah, not phased at all. Wow. Good for her. I don't. I haven't played baseball or softball in so long.
- [57:58]
D
We need to go to the batting cages. Add it to the list.
- [58:01]
A
Add it to the list. Just something else that we can do together. Do it.
- [58:05]
D
Last one. In the same vein of sports, a lot of high school athletes have been posting videos like Road to D1 Sports, Road to D2 Sports. And they've been tracking their journeys to playing the in collegiate level. And this guy has a road to the NBA and he is starting it right now. Okay, this is Road to the NBA. Day one. Today was a rest day. So I just went to Wawa, grabbed
- [58:31]
A
a Reese's and just chilled for the
- [58:34]
D
rest of the day. Tomorrow is day two.
- [58:36]
A
I'm happy for him. It looks like he has a long, you know, career ahead of him. He seems like he's making, you know, diet starts tomorrow type start to his career. I could appreciate that. I love Reese's. I don't like that he pronounced it Reese's, but that's another hot take.
- [58:54]
D
Prayers up to that guy. I think he's got a big future.
- [58:56]
A
I do. I. I totally agree. Totally agree. Thank you for scrolling along with me today. I've got a great interview on deck for you tomorrow. So I hope that you tune in for that. Make sure that you follow me on social media at Haley Caronia on most platforms except for threads and I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
