Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cardi B’s Anti-ICE Comments and Celebrity Activism

[Start: 02:48]

• Incident Recap:
  Cardi B made headlines for her heated comments at an event, encouraging the crowd to "jump" ICE agents and bragging about having bear mace. Hayley plays part of the clip and discusses its implications.

  “What she said was a crime. She said, we're gonna choke they asses and we're gonna spray that... Depending on the threat to law enforcement, this could be a misdemeanor, this could be a felony...”
  — Hayley [03:52]

• Legal Double Standard:
  Hayley draws parallels to previous celebrity statements (Johnny Depp, Madonna) advocating violence, pointing out perceived inaction from authorities.

  “They get to say these things and then nothing ever happens. ... The same way that the DOJ is making an example out of Don Lemon, make an example out of Cardi B. Show these celebrities ... you can't break the law and get away with it.”
  — Hayley [04:03]

• Cardi B's Criminal Past:
  Hayley recalls Cardi B's infamous 2019 admission of drugging and robbing men, noting the DHS’s snarky response.

  “As long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.”
  — Quoting DHS [05:21]

• Cardi B’s ‘Clapback’ and Misplaced Critique:
  Cardi responded on X by deflecting to the Epstein files and accusing hypocrisy, but Hayley notes she aimed her criticism at the only administration that has actually moved on Epstein-related documents.

  “She didn't tweet this at the Homeland Security under Biden that allowed for children to be trafficked, but she's—”
  — Hayley [06:30]

2. Nicki Minaj on Voter ID and the SAVE Act

[07:20]

• Minaj’s Social Media Statement:
  Nicki Minaj, who has worked with the Trump administration in the past, supports requiring ID for voting, connecting it to COVID policies.

  “The people who told you to get the vaccine ... are now telling you ... you should not show ID to vote. Haha. Dear God help us.”
  — Quoting Nicki Minaj [08:01]

• The SAVE Act and Voter ID:
  Hayley praises the act, slams opposition, and gives personal anecdotes about name changes, bureaucracy, and her belief in common sense identification.

  “If you're too dumb to figure out how to ... get your ID together and your government documents together, maybe you're not smart enough to vote anyway.”
  — Hayley [10:58]

  “There's really no reason to oppose voter ID and showing ID unless you want illegals to vote in our elections. It's not hard.”
  — Hayley [09:30]

3. Democrats, Border Policies & Child Protection

[12:13]

• ICE Locates Missing Children:
  Hayley plays a clip of Tom Homan touting the Trump administration's success in locating over 3,300 missing unaccompanied children in Minnesota.

  “That's because of the leadership of President Trump. Not Biden, not Harris, not anyone else.”
  — Hayley [12:36]

• Criticism of Democrat Policies:
  Hayley accuses Democrats of endangering children through open borders, failing to release the Epstein files, and normalizing pedophilia.

  “I am done hearing about Democrats fake outrage when it comes to protecting kids. They've done nothing to protect kids.”

---

4. Nancy Guthrie Missing Person Case

[16:08]

• Investigation Update:
  Hayley critiques the Pima County Sheriff's handling of the scene, the lab processing delays, and the FBI’s growing frustration.

  “A grandma has been missing for 13 days now. Can we just hand it over? ... Time is of the essence and it seems like they don't care.”
  — Hayley [17:58]

• TMZ and Ransom Notes:
  Hayley is skeptical about legitimacy and motivation behind the ransom notes sent to TMZ. She speculates it’s more about media attention than real leads.

  “I'm starting to think that whoever is contacting TMZ at this point is screwing with them.”
  — Hayley [21:47]

• Media Coverage Commentary:
  Explains that news is a business—ratings and salacious stories drive coverage.

  “The news industry is a business. ... You cover stuff that's going to get people's attention ... eyeballs means ad dollars.”
  — Hayley [25:30]

---

5. Florida Political Violence: Arson Attack on GOP Candidate

[29:22]

• Candidate James Fishback’s Response:
  After an arson attack at his home, Fishback delivers a strong, pro-Second Amendment warning to would-be attackers.

  “We're not waiting for the police. We're gonna shoot you with an AR15 sight on scene. 556. ... We have a right to self defense.”
  — James Fishback [30:24]

• Hayley’s Reaction:
  Lauds Fishback for strength and protecting his staff, contrasting with how Democrats respond to threats.

  “It shows strength. It shows that you will not be walked all over and again with this political violence happening ... You can either stand strong or you can put out a meaningless post on X.”
  — Hayley [31:04]

---

6. Florida Rep. Angie Nixon & Charlie Kirk Day Controversy

[32:58]

• Angie Nixon’s Objection:
  Nixon voted against Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day, calling it “a slap in the face to black women.”

  “It's a slap in the face to black women that this bill was even brought forth in our committee.”
  — Quoting Angie Nixon [34:22]

• Hayley’s Confusion and Critique:
  Questions Nixon’s rationale and dissects her Gen Z/internet slang-laden tweets.

  “Calling me out of my name is doing. Absolutely. What does that mean, calling me out of my name again? ... I don't know what these people are talking about.”
  — Hayley [35:06]

---

7. Olympics & LGBTQ Representation in Sports Media

[36:08]

• CBS Interviews Bi Olympian:
  Hayley criticizes CBS for focusing on sexual orientation of athletes, mocking the need for these questions.

  “I'm mad at CBS because if you don't ask the question, they're not really going to talk about. I mean, they might bring it up, but they're being asked this.”
  — Hayley [36:28]

• Bisexual vs. Pansexual:
  Hayley and co-host puzzle over the definitions, lampooning what they see as the confusing, attention-seeking dynamics of identity labels.

  “Isn't that everyone? Once you ... establish who you're attracted to, aren't you then attracted to who they are as a person?”
  — Hayley [39:53]

---

8. Squatting & Real Estate Law Failures

[42:40]

• Baltimore Squatter Case:
  Woman convicted of squatting in a $2.3M mansion. Upon release, she returns to the property. Her lawyer’s ineptitude is mocked on air.

  “I think we need to abolish squatters. I don't understand why you can do this and ... be let out of jail and then go right back and reoffend.”
  — Hayley [44:17]

---

9. Connecticut Toddler Summoned for Jury Duty

[45:17]

• Funny Bureaucratic Error:
  A four-year-old is called to jury duty, responds with “I’m just a baby," which Hayley finds hilarious and relatable.

  — Hayley [00:29]

---

10. Ozempic, Scurvy, and Weight Loss Culture

[47:51]

• Side Effects of GLP-1 Drugs:
  Reports that people taking Ozempic are developing scurvy from poor nutrition; Hayley emphasizes diet and exercise over miracle drugs.

11. UK Study: Beauty Standards by Generation

[56:00]

• Changing Beauty Ideals:
  Hayley shares a study about ideal male/female features by age group, making fun of the language (“button nose,” “athletic build”) and noting generational differences.

  “Why would I want a button nose on a man? ... On a baby, on a child, on a toddler. Very cute. But I think you grow out of the button nose nose thing at some point.”
  — Hayley [58:26]

• US vs. UK Standards:
  Wonders about differences if replicated in the US (e.g., more emphasis on height, smile).

[62:15]

  — Hayley [65:04]

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Cardi B:

  “So it seems Cardi believes that she is above the law, probably feels like she's a celebrity, she's untouchable, doesn't need to be held accountable for any of her degenerate actions or these threats. And again, she might need to learn a lesson here about the rule of law. Nobody is above it, not even you, Cardi B.”
  — Hayley [05:57]

• On Democrats and Child Protection:

  “Democrats do not care that migrant children put a strain on the academic process for American kids and teachers ... I am done hearing about Democrats fake outrage when it comes to protecting kids.”
  — Hayley [14:39 & 14:58]

• On Political Violence Response:

  “You can either stand strong or you can put out a meaningless post on X … A Democrat would never be caught dead doing something badass and cool.”
  — Hayley [31:04]

We're going to get into that. And the FBI has upped the reward from 50,000 to 100,000 for information regarding the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie. A Florida state rep voted against a bill that would make 10-14-Charlie Kirk's birthday, Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day. And her reasoning is going viral.

[B]

Wrong stinger. My bad.

[A]

Scrolling time.

[B]

That was the scrolling time intro.

[A]

We gave people twice yesterday because I wanted to see it twice.

[B]

Well, they're gonna get another two for.

[A]

They're gonna get two. I love it. All right. Celebrities.

[B]

Music on a Friday.

[A]

I know it's like a little Friday treat for everyone, but celebrities are still speaking out about ice. You know, we saw this with the Grammys. Anytime they're in front of a microphone, anytime they're at a podium, they have to say something anti ice, right? This is like the current thing that's going on. So they all have to jump on the bandwagon. And Cardi B, the rapper, former stripper, we're gonna get into all of her. Her past accolades, if you will. She got violent with her calls against Ice. Watch this. If I come in here, we're gonna jump their asses, bitch. I got some bear mace in the back.

[B]

Dancing in my face.

[A]

Let's go. Okay. People are paying to watch that. What she said was a crime. She said, we're gonna choke they asses and we're gonna spray that.

[B]

Jump. I think she said they're gonna jump them.

[A]

Oh, I thought you. I thought you said choke.

[B]

Oh, I don't know. Could be.

[A]

We played again. I can't understand what this woman's saying anyway most of the time. But let. If I come in here, we're gonna joke they asses. Oh. Jump. Okay, that makes more sense. I was like, we're gonna choke their asses. That makes no sense. Jump.

[B]

Okay, now we're gonna get the head shake of sanity.

[A]

Now we're getting somewhere. And then we're. She's gonna spray them with bear mace. I mean, again. And then everyone in the crowd, Woo. Woo. Assault. Woo. So depending on the threat to law enforcement, this could be a misdemeanor, this could be a felony, punishable by fines or even prison time. And I think the doj, this threat. So many celebrities have wished harm on President Trump and nothing ever happened. Remember Johnny Depp saying, you know, it's been an awful long time since someone thought about burning down the White House or blowing up the White House, something like that. Madonna, same thing. Like, we need to start thinking about blowing up the White House because what's. Trump's in it again? They get to say these things and then nothing ever happens. You know, the same way that the DOJ is making an example out of Don Lemon, make an example out of Cardi B. Show these celebrities and these, you know, fake journalists that you can't break the law and get away with it, which Cardi B is used to, by the way, which we're going to get into. And Homeland Security alluded to that. Her interesting, colorful past on X when responding to these most recent threats from the rapper. So this is what Homeland Security said on X. As long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior. Which tells me that whoever is running the White House accounts, the Homeland Security accounts, they are a pop culture connoisseur. They are a follower of pop culture, which I do like. But they're referring to this video of Cardi B. That resurfaced in 2019 when she talked about her time as a stripper and what she would do to men. Watch up. And that's what I used to do. So she would get them really drunk, drug them, and then once they were incapacitated, she would take their money. She was saying, oh, I would steal their money. I would take, you know, 400, $500, get myself a Fendi belt. Okay, so again, a crime that has gone unpunished. And so it seems Cardi believes that she is above the law, probably feels like she's a celebrity, she's untouchable, doesn't need to be held accountable for any of her degenerate actions or these threats. And again, she might need to learn a lesson here about the rule of law. Nobody is above it, not even you, Cardi B. And she attempted to clap back at Homeland Security on X, saying this, if we talking about drugs, let's talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y' all don't want to talk about the Epstein files? This is really beautifully written. It's just really well written. If we talking about drugs, why y' all don't want. It just doesn't come naturally to read it. So is she saying this to the only administration that has released more than 3 million files related to Epstein? I'm just trying to get this straight. She didn't tweet this at the Homeland Security under Biden that allowed for children to be trafficked, but she's. And also the Biden administration that never released anything on the Epstein files, ever. And it's more than Kamala Harris would have released the Epstein files. Kamala Harris actually defended the fact that she and Biden didn't pressure their DOJ to release anything related to Epstein because they said, well, that's what we wanted to do, but what we want is different from the doj. She was basically saying, like, this balance of power thing. Like, just because we want the DOJ to do something doesn't mean that they're going to like they're on their own. I mean, they're acting like they, they really wanted the Epstein files to be released and just didn't want to tell the heads of the DOJ that Biden appointed to do that. It just, it's a hoax again. And because the Democrats had no interest in releasing the Epstein files ever until Trump wanted to move on from it, that's the reality. They only care about kids if they can groom them themselves. So because Cardi B was out spewing nonsense, the real Queen of Rap posted this. Now, Nicki Minaj, we know, has worked with the Trump administration. She spoke at the UN against Christian persecution in Nigeria. She worked with the UN Ambassador Mike Waltz. She has been outspoken. She went to Amfest. So she posted this on X saying test your pattern recognition skills. The people who told you to get the vaccine and get a thousand boosters and to show proof everywhere you went that you have been vaccinated are now telling you that you people should not show ID to vote. Haha. Dear God help us. Hashtag SaveAct and the Save act did pass in the House, but it's going to have to pass the Senate where the current rules dictate that they're going to need some Democrats to sign on to it to meet that 60 vote threshold. And there's really no reason to oppose voter ID and showing ID unless you want illegals to vote in our elections. It's not hard. Democrats are spewing absolute nonsense about women not being able to figure out how to vote. I have, almost all of my friends are married. A lot of them have changed their names. Some of them have changed their names socially but not legally. Some of them, you know, just change their name on Instagram but they keep their ID the same. Whatever. Everyone's doing a different thing, right? And if you are concerned about not being able to vote and you're getting married in the around, in and around the election season, just don't change your name until after you vote or make sure that you change it before you vote. And I see Tiktoks today. I was scrolling and this woman is like women everywhere, like make sure that you get a passport. You're going to need your passport to vote. And I'm, I'm all these comments just like liberals, like I don't have a passport, how can I get a passport? I can't afford a passport. And then people are replying to them in the comments saying you can get a passport card, that's 30 bucks. I have a passport. And a passport card just in case. Like, why not have more identification if you need it, right? And, you know, 30 bucks to be able to vote. I mean, these people probably spend 30 bucks on a whole lot of other stuff that they don't need. Um, but again, they think that this is poll tax. They think that this is voter suppression, when in reality it's suppressing the votes of people that don't need to vote. And if you're too dumb to figure out how to, I don't know, like, figure out how to get your ID together and your government documents together, maybe you're not smart enough to vote anyway. I mean, this just is like a non issue. It's, it's. I saw Hillary Clinton was tweeting about this earlier today. She was saying, oh, you know, this is against women. Women aren't going to be able to vote. I mean, Obama, like, they got all of them out there to, to spew this nonsense about how this is anti women and whatever. I don't know a woman that doesn't have id. I don't, I don't know one. And I don't know a married one that also doesn't have id. And again, if you got married, you can bring your marriage certificate to the polls and you'll be able to vote. It's, it's really not that deep. But of course the Democrats make it deep. And I want to talk about, you know, this whole, that they bring Epstein up and trafficking and kids. But the Democrats open border policies put more kids at risk than anything else. The kids in cages, kids being trafficked, all that hope happens because of an open border. They claim that the Trump administration is protecting child abusers when they're really being the most transparent we've ever seen. And borders are. Tom Homan just announced that the administration has located missing children that came across the border. Listen to this.

[B]

In addition to taking public safety threats off the street, ICE here in this state have located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children.

[A]

Children that the last administration lost and.

[B]

Weren'T even looking for.

[A]

That's because the leadership of President Trump.

[B]

These children were located.

[A]

That's because of the leadership of President Trump. Not Biden, not Harris, not anyone else. 3,364 unaccompanied children that was found in Minnesota. Why aren't the Democrats talking about that? Why don't Democrats care that Mexican drug cartels facilitate border crossings? Why don't they care that unaccompanied children are trafficked across the border? A lot of the kids that military aged men bring across the border aren't even theirs. No DNA tests to make sure. But they essentially use kids as political shields to appear as sympathetic figures and not like the criminals that they are. So I don't want to hear a peep from Democrats about protecting children. Their policies do the exact opposite. They put them in the hands of the cartel. They leave them in the hands of God knows who when they get to Minnesota or the sanctuary state of their choosing. Democrats do not care that migrant children put a strain on the academic process for American kids and teachers. English speaking Democrats don't seem to care that illegals are getting all of the free health care that they thought their vote for a Democrat politician would get for them. No, that's just for the illegals. Democrats were in power, by the way, under Biden and Harris. They could have released the Epstein files. They didn't want to. They didn't want to get the Clintons in trouble, their other buddies and donors in trouble. Why would they do that? Why would they rock that boat? Democrats want to normalize the term minor attracted persons. Pedophiles. They want to just normalize pedophilia like it's just some kind of a sexuality. And I'm sure in the next few years there will be a flag for minor attracted persons and maybe they'll even add another color to the LGBTQ flag that is ever growing. And Democrats desperately want men and boys to be able to have unfettered access to naked women in locker rooms. They want men and boys to take scholarships and trophies away from female athletes. They want young, impressionable children to chemically alter their minds and permanently disfigure their bodies. And in the name of acceptance and allyship, Democrats want teachers to be able to talk about sex with third graders and younger. They want drag queens to read kids a bedtime story. So I am done hearing about Democrats fake outrage when it comes to protecting kids. They've done nothing to protect kids. I want to get into some of these latest Nancy Guthrie updates here. It seems like the local Pima County Sheriff's Department is not working with the FBI. And the FBI in Phoenix posted this on X saying that they have upped the ante. They have increased the reward from 50,000 to $100,000 for any information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and the arrest or conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance. So the FBI in Phoenix put this out with new details about the suspect that they were able to figure out based on that nest doorbell camera footage. That they released earlier this week. Now, based on forensic analysis, they said that the suspect is a male, approximately 59 to 5 10, with an average build. And in the video, he is wearing a black 25 liter Ozark Trail hiker pack backpack. Now, the FBI has gotten tens of thousands of tips, but there seems to be some kind of budding heads between the agency and Pima county sheriff's department because first the local police, they haven't done a great job of securing the crime scene. Remember earlier this week, a pizza delivery driver got all the way to the door the other day and then no one stopped them. Cops on the scene didn't stop them. Then an independent journalist on the ground took a photo yesterday of an Amazon delivery driver that delivered something to Nancy's door. So people are clearly going in and out, up and down the driveway and on the property, which is wild to me considering this is still ongoing. Now, maybe that's because they've gotten everything they needed from her house. Maybe. I don't know. It seems odd to me. Now, according to Reuters, the FBI asked the Pima County Sheriff's department and Chris nanos, the sheriff, for physical evidence in the case because they had found a glove and DNA from Nancy Guthrie's home, and they wanted to be processed in Quantico, the National Crime Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. But nanos insisted on using a private lab in Florida. So then the sheriff came out and said, well, that's actually not true. Actually the FBI just wanted to send, you know, this is his exact quote here, one or two they found by the crime scene closest to it, mile and a half. And I said, no, why do that? Let's send all of them to where the DNA exists, all the profiles and the markers exist. So I guess they're all, they're sending everything to the same lab. My thing is, it's a grandma has been missing for 13 days now. Can we just hand it over? I mean, why are we messing around? It seems like time is of the essence and it seems, it seems like they don't care. And I know that that's not true. I know that they do care. But it just seems like there's a lot of messing around and there's not a lot of time to mess around. I, I, I would be shocked, honestly, if they were able to recover Nancy Guthrie alive at this point, 13 days without medication. Clearly they haven't paid any suspected ransom abductors, anything, ransom payments. It just seems odd. And the sheriff is asking for neighbors in the area to send in Their ring doorbell footage and other security footage that might be on the exterior of their houses. And, you know, they want to see not just recent, but like a month leading up to this to see if they can see anything. Right? Suspects coming in out of the area, snooping around, cars going back and forth. Because if this was a planned attack and not totally random, which it seems like, this is not random. This was targeted. Maybe they were going to other houses in the neighborhood that looked similar. Maybe they were trying to figure out if the. If Nancy Guthrie's house is similar. Maybe they could, you know, get an idea of what the inside of her house looked like or the outside or where cameras are, things like that. I don't know. So maybe a month leading up to this, whoever abducted Nancy Guthrie might have been snooping around in the neighborhood, getting some ideas. And this is one of the videos that someone had submitted. It's just a different guy with a backpack, so you could see him. His face is blurred, which isn't helpful. I don't know why that is. But he has two backpacks. He's wearing a backpack. He's wearing a similar jacket. But listen, I don't know how fast ozempic kicks in, but this guy would have need to be on a supercharged version of ozempic if this is the same guy that was at Nancy Guthrie's front door. Because this guy's much thinner, in my opinion, than that guy. I just don't think that this is the same guy. But if we have. And this guy looks. Does he have facial hair? Can we even tell from this video? It just seems like certainly this guy is up to no good. I don't think that this is. Maybe he has facial hair. I guess you can't really tell. I don't know why this is blurred. If people want to find who this is, like, this isn't helpful. But, you know, based on the footage that the FBI put out earlier, I just don't think that that is the same guy. And then Harvey Levin, he's been talking about how he got another note from suspected abductors about a ransom note. Again, I'm very wary of this at this point, but here is Harvey Levin talking about this latest development on the TMZ end watch.

[B]

TMZ has obtained a second email from the man who claims to know the identity of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper. We told you yesterday that this man sent us an email saying that he will reveal the name if he gets one bitcoin. We checked the account all day. He did not Receive anything. The account is bare. So this morning, just after 8am Pacific Time, he sent us this other email complaining that he is not being taken seriously. He says that he wants the bitcoin, which is worth around $67,000, for several reasons. Number one, he says by coming forward, he will become a, as he puts it, a national rat. He also says, and this is a quote, he doesn't want to be, quote, incriminated like that guy Carlos. Remember Carlos?

[A]

All right. I'm starting to think that whoever is contacting TMZ at this point is screwing with them. I don't think that these are the real abductors because the original ransom notes, they were sent to TMZ and then another news station, a local station in Tucson. And to my knowledge, that other local news station is not getting these updates. So someone is getting notes to tmz, in my opinion, because I think TMZ is giving a lot of air time to this. So I think they're. I don't know, it's giving attention seeking to me. But they were able to clear the guy in the video. They were also able to clear the man that Carlos, that they arrested for sending the text ransom notes. So they. They've got nothing. They've got nothing and they've got nobody. And they're sifting through tens of thousands of documents and tips. And I just. Again, the time is ticking and this is now starting to smell really bad, in my opinion. And I. I pray for the return of Nancy Guthrie if she is alive by the grace of God. It is by the grace of God, because I listen, I am pro law enforcement. I never want to come off as anti law enforcement ever. But it just seems like there. There's something amiss here. And I know I. I am the first person to. To give grace and say that real life is not a Criminal Minds episode. Real life crimes in real life. Actual true crime. Not like the stuff you see on Netflix. Actual true crime, actual people's lives that does not get solved in a day. It doesn't get solved in 20 minutes. Plus commercial breaks. This is real life. It takes time to test these things. It takes time and manpower to go through all of these tips and things like that. So I don't ever want to come off as, you know, being disrespectful to law enforcement. I'm sure there are people on the ground that are working very, very hard and putting in lots of hours on. It just seems like we're not getting anywhere right now. And in a missing person's case, time is of the essence. And I just think if Nancy Guthrie is still alive, she's probably nowhere near Tucson, and I don't know how much longer these people are going to keep her alive, if they even can. So I just. I'm feeling really disheartened and not positive, and I. I want to remain positive. I keep praying, praying for this woman and her family, because I think this is horrific. But I'm just. I'm having a hard time staying positive, unfortunately. And I see a lot of people in the chat are agreeing with me. Sounds fishy. Why are they sending stuff to tmz? Savannah doesn't work for them. Yeah, I mean, I think they're probably sending stuff to TMZ because it's flashy and it gets attention, and they're covering it wall to wall. Like, NBC is not going to cover this wall to wall, even with the Savannah Guthrie tie. I think they're certainly covering it closely. But I think TMZ has another layer of, like, I don't know. Not that this is, like, salacious, but I think it's just more tabloidy, and this is stuff that gets them clicks. So that makes sense to me. But again, to my theory, I don't really know if the notes that are being sent to TMZ at this point are legitimate because the FBI and other authorities have never come out and said that they were legitimate. They said that they were looking into them. And I don't know who's. I don't know who's messing with tmz, but it's. It's someone. It might be the people connected to Nancy Guthrie. At this point, I'm thinking it's someone totally different. So that's saying. People are saying, why so much coverage? I mean, listen, this is. This is interesting. It grabs the attention of the Internet. It grabs the attention of people who watch NBC. They watch Savannah Guthrie. This is. You know, America has a true crime obsession, and we always glom onto things like this. This is obvious. And I want people to also understand. You know, I saw Newsmax put out a poll yesterday on. On X saying, you know, do you care about Nancy Guthrie? And the vast majority of the Newsmax respondents said no, that they don't care. And I think a lot of people who are conservative think, well, there are other things going on, and liberals, too. I think a lot of people think, you know, there are other issues in the world. What about the Epstein files? What about this? And two things can be true at once. Two things can be exciting at once. And let me just let you in on a little tidbit of information about the news industry. The news industry is a business. Everything is a business. And everyone obsesses over ratings and clicks. That's how they make money. That's how they pay their journalists. That's how they pay their cameramen. That's how they pay their workers. That's this, this is how local news works. This is how national news works. You cover stuff that is salacious. You cover stuff that's going to get people's attention and eyeballs because eyeballs means ad dollars. Ad dollars means they can keep the lights on and keep entertaining people. That is the way that the business works. I don't know why people think that this is like some salt of the earth, like people, good people just trying to like cover the news. It's, it's just not that way. And this is why people are covering. Nancy Guthrie this is one of those cases that gets people's attention. People want to know what's happening. And that's exactly why, because people are tuning into it. You might not like it. Those respondents on that X tweet or post, whatever, might not like it, but people are tuning. It's like a car crash that people can't look away from kind of a thing. If the news is covering something, it's because people are watching it. And if people are eating it up, they're going to keep serving it up. That's the way that this works. So just wanted to let you all know that. I'm sure most of you do know that, but I, I just see so many comments like why are people covering this? And it's so obvious, like it's working for the news station. During the colder months, I spend way more time indoors, especially in the bedroom. Staying cozy has never been easier since I switched to a Helix mattress. Before Helix, my nights were rough. Constant tossing, back pain, and every time my partner moved, I felt it. It's exhausting.

Every week we talk personal finance trends.

[A]

I think it's tough finding like a stock certificate from 1987 in Grandpa's drawer. Wait until you need the face ID to unlock cash app. It's so sad what money does to people. It happens. That's why you don't tell anybody what you got. That guy had the brilliant idea.

[B]

I don't want my relatives to know.

[A]

How much money I have.

[B]

So every time I go to Thanksgiving I ask them if I can stealth wealth Stacking Benjamins.

[A]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform. So that's why. Anyway. All right, well, James Fishback is a Republican running for governor in Florida and he was the subject of an arson attack earlier this week. His campaign spokesperson put out this statement saying this. James Fishback, candidate for Florida governor, returned home to Madison, Florida for the first time since launching his campaign for governor 10 weeks ago. That's a long time away from home. Shortly after 5:50pm on Sunday, a fire was intentionally set in his side yard and began spreading toward his his home where Mr. Fishback and members of his staff were working. We are grateful to the Madison County Fire Rescue for their swift response and for containing the fire before it damaged his home. And then went on to say this act of arson should be unequivocally condemned. Of course, political violence of any kind is unacceptable and has no place in it. America. Now this is the statement that. That was the, the PR statement, right? That was his campaign statement. This is the statement that Fishback gave. Watch.

[B]

If you threaten our campaign, if you lay hands on a single one of our volunteers, if you come back to this home and our staff, our volunteers are working hard. We're not waiting for the police. We're gonna shoot you with an AR15 sight on scene. 556. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. It's very simple. Shall not be infringed. We have a right to self defense as this campaign. We will never compromise that right. If you threaten our campaign.

[A]

I love to see it. I saw this and I thought that's pretty badass, right? And political violence is on the rise. It should be condemned no matter who is the target. Left, right, center. There are People on both sides of the aisle that are targeted by crazy lunatics. You know, Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro's mansion was lit on fire. Similar attack, although there was a lot more damage. And then Minnesota Democrats, remember those Democrats that were attacked and shot and killed by a masked gunman. But the response to these acts of violence, of political violence, shows the difference between Republicans and Democrats. You see people driving by Tim Walls his house, calling him a retard. That's us, right? That's. The Republicans will own that. That's not on the same level as arson, certainly. But Tim Walls response to that, you know, act of political violence. I guess if you're listening and not watching, I'm doing finger quotes. You know, Tim Walls responds and whines about people being like meanie Bo Beanies to him. And then you see Fishback publicly addressing anyone who even thinks of harming his campaign staff. Responding in the most constitutional way that you can. It is badass. It shows strength. It shows that you will not be walked all over and again with this political violence happening day after day and seemingly not going anywhere. You can either stand strong or you can put out a meaningless post on X. And when I saw this video of him standing up for not only himself, but for his campaign staffers, he made his staffers the. The focus of his speech, not him. It wasn't about him. It was about, I'm going to protect them. And I thought that this was badass and cool. And a Democrat would never be caught dead doing something badass and cool. And Democrats would probably condemn Fishback for saying, you know, with. For having this gun out, saying that it's violent and, you know, all he's doing is following the rule of law as it's laid out in our Constitution. And this just goes to show how weak Democrats are. Also in Florida, a state representative, Angie Nixon, she voted no on the Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance. The State House there wanted to make October 14th, which is Charlie Kirk's birthday, an official day to remember him since his assassination. And this is what Angie Nixon had to say on X about how she voted, just voted no on the Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance bill in the Florida legislature. It's a slap in the face to black women that this bill was even brought forth in our committee. This body has consistently shown that it is okay to be anti black women in this state. State disrespectful. I'm confused about what Charlie Kirk said that was anti black women. The only thing that I can think of is, you know, and this is what the left points to is Charlie Kirk's past comments about DEI and how, you know, you might get on a plane. And if your pilot is a minority, you might wonder, did they get here because of their merit or did they get here because of some DEI quota, which is valid. This is what DEI has done. It has given other people an opportunity based on their skin color rather than if they really deserve it or not. So Angie Nixon started getting some hate on this post and then she responded like this. Hi keyboard warriors. I'm not going to be too many more of your apes dirty bitches. You're illustrating why I voted no on that divisive bill. Calling me out of my name is doing absolutely nothing for your rising healthcare costs. Send me to DC and donate. And she sent a link, which is crazy because, hi keyboard warriors. I'm not going to be too many more of your apes dirty bitches. And then send me to DC in the same tweet.

[B]

Okay again, but in English this time.

[A]

No, literally. Also, calling me out of my name is doing. Absolutely. What does that mean, calling me out of my name again? I graduated college with honors. English is my first language. I don't know what these people are talking about. I don't. What does that even mean? I'm not going to be too many more of your apes dirty bitches. I don't know what that means.

[B]

I mean, I even have a decent understanding in Gen Z gibberish.

[A]

Gen Z slang.

[B]

Still totally lost.

[A]

And then she's like, if you saw, if you saw that tweet and you liked more of that, there's more where that came from. Send me to DC so I can represent the whole state. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Speaking of representation, we have American Olympians that are going to Milan. And I keep covering this. They keep embarrassing us on the world stage. But CBS, this is really CBS's fault. CBS interviewed another Olympian about their sexuality story. Watch this.

[B]

I was interested to read when I learned that you were the first out athlete to medal from the US at this Olympics. What does that representation mean to you?

[A]

I grew up as a kid who was obsessed with sports, sports. And all I wanted to be was a ski racer. And so I just did everything that I saw that ski racers were doing. But it also was a world in which everybody was straight. As a bi person, like, it was very easy for me to just stick a piece of myself in a box. And then actually, in many ways, seeing Amber Glenn really changed my perspective. And I almost like had just repressed that side of myself for so Long. And in seeing her as such a powerful athlete, like, I started to kind of open that box again. I came to the conclusion that I was bi. And then very quickly thereafter came to the conclusion that I had to tell people that because they deserve to know that the world of champions is not just comprised of straight white people. Okay, so this is on cbs. I'm mad at CBS because if you don't ask the question, they're not really going to talk about. I mean, they might, they might bring it up, but they're being asked this. I saw that you were the first out, the first out athlete to medal from the US in this Olympics. This isn't like, this hasn't been done before. She was the first bisexual athlete to get a medal this time. Who care? I mean, who cares in general? But seriously, this isn't anything groundbreaking. And this woman, Breezy Johnson, has said that she was inspired by Amber Glenn, who went viral most recently for saying how hard it is to be gay right now in the United States of America. She came out as bisexual and pansexual in 2019. What's the difference? What's the difference between bisexual and pansexual? Also, she came out as bisexual during the Trump administration. That was the first Trump administration. So, so was it really hard to cut? Certainly it wasn't hard to come out because you did, you did during the Trump administration. But she says that she's bisexual and pansexual. I, this is like my thought process. Bisexual means you're attracted to men and women, and then pansexual means you're attracted to everyone. Isn't that everyone?

[B]

Don't. Don't even ask.

[A]

No, but like, isn't that the same thing logically? Logically, because there are only two sexes, but you're asking people who think that there are multiple.

[B]

Again, on, on the logical front, this girl, midway through the clip, she says as a bi person, and then later on says, that's when I discovered I was bi.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So even she's, she doesn't know, confused.

[A]

I mean, obviously she saw Amber Glenn figure skating and thought, I'm bi. So she's saying that she's attracted to her or she was inspired by her coming. It's just, it's bizarre. It's just bizarre. All of this makes no sense. But I did Google what bisexual meant and what pansexual meant just to get this straight, you know, because facts matter, right? Bisexual refers to the attraction to more than one gender. So men and women. While pansexual refers to attraction to people regardless of gender. So bisexual individuals, right? No, I'm still confused, but okay. Bisexual individuals may have preferences based on gender, whereas pansexual people are often described as being attracted to a person's soul. A person's soul or personality rather than their gender identity. Isn't that everyone? Once you. Once you establish who you're attracted to, aren't you then attracted to who they are as a person? Like, you see them first and you think, I like what I see. And then you get to know them and that's why you're attracted to them. You're attracted to them for both reasons. So both.

[B]

Well, they could be. One's a little more shallow than the other one is.

[A]

Just because they're a woman or a man, they.

[B]

The more. So they're describing love, right, in, like, this really distorted, gross way.

[A]

Right? Yeah, that's that, like, you're attracted to a person's soul and their personality.

[B]

We have a word for that, right?

[A]

Like, aren't we all attracted to people because of who they are on the inside and on the outside anyway? Yeah, you know, I. Sometimes I like to get into their heads to see what's going on, but it is very difficult.

[B]

It's a really weird place.

[A]

It's a weird place to be. Get. Mom, can you pick me up? I am scared. So anyway, she sees Amber Glenn come out, and then Amber Glenn has been getting attention for being bi or a lesbian or whatever, pansexual, whatever she is. So then Breezy Johnson told everyone she was bi. See how that goes? It's mostly for attention because they know that they'll get it. CBS will interview Olympic athletes about their sexual orientation, so they're getting exactly what they want. She wants the whole world to know that not all Olympians are straight and white. Everyone knows that. This goes without saying. So I blame the media for asking. I do now. This next story is. Is so funny to me, and I think that we should listen. There are people out in the streets. Abolish ice. Abolish ice. Abolish squatters. Abolish squatters. I don't know why there are anything. I don't know why there's anything on the books anywhere that allows a squatter to do this, they should be removed immediately. But there is. With real estate law, it's kind of complicated. If you live there for more than 30 days, like, you have certain rights, whatever. So I just think if you are in a home and you are living there and you are. The owners did not allow you to live there. You should be removed. You should be removed and thrown in jail. So anyway, this is going on in Baltimore right now, this squatting case. And there's a woman named Tamika Good, and she moved into a 2.3 million dollar mansion with her boyfriend, Corey Pollard. Okay, so Tamika Good, Corey Pollard, they moved into what is a bank owned property in Bethesda, Maryland. So near this property, one of the neighbors ended up calling the cops and saying, someone is trespassing on this property. So this woman, Tamika Good, was found guilty of squatting on all charges. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail. And her lawyer is not very smart. Her lawyer. When you see this video, you're going to think, I'm cooked. I'm going to jail. Like if this was your lawyer, you are absolutely. There's. There's no hope for you. So this woman was released from jail. And upon being released from jail, she was seen walking around this $2 million mansion that she was squatting in. So she goes to jail for squatting, gets out, and goes right back to the million dollar mansion. And this is what her lawyer had to say about all of this. Watch.

[B]

The number one question on everybody's mind. How would your client, Ms. D' Amica Good, get inside a $2.3 million property? Cut. I don't know if I can answer that. Allegedly, can I? Cut. We're rolling. Yeah, I mean, we're. We're rolling, my friend.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Does he do this in the courtroom too? Your honor, Time out. I'm out. All right. Can you re. Ask the question? Sure. Absolutely. So the number one question on everybody's mind is how your client, Ms. D' Amica Good, got into a $2.3 million property. Well, Ms. Good did her research. She found out that a certain property was under. Was under the control of a certain group and that there was a title issue. Due to the title issue, she was able to assume the property under squatters rights.

[A]

It took him a long time to get there. He answered the question, but it took a long time to get there. Cut. Cut the cameras. You can't really do that in an interview. That's not really how this works. The. The director calls cut, not the interviewee cut. I don't want to answer that question. Are we rolling? Yeah, we're rolling. Okay, ask the question again. He's like, he's sitting there in silence. He's thinking of whatever he, he needs to say. But again, I think we need to abolish squatters. I don't understand why you can. Why you can do this and why you could be let out of jail and then go right back and reoffend. It's just ridiculous. There's something wrong with the system. Something certainly. And there's something wrong with the system in Connecticut because a 4 year old preschooler got picked for jury duty. I saw this headline and I thought, huh, what, how, how does this happen? Right? And so her parents got the letter in the mail saying that their toddler was wanted for jury duty. This little, this little girl, Zara, she's four years old and her parents go to her and they told her, zara, you got called for jury duty. And her parents say that she responded, I'm just a baby. Which again, is exactly how I respond when I get summoned for jury duty. I'm just a baby. I'm just a girl. I don't want to do this. I don't want to go. I'm too young. I can't do this. I don't want to do this. Right, but how did this happen? Right. Apparently a spokesperson for the Connecticut judicial branch, which oversees the whole jury process, said that Zara's name, this four year old, was likely thrown into the ring through the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services. So essentially the irs, basically, it's, it's taxes. They were so ready to tax this four year old and they couldn't because she doesn't make any income yet. They were like, how do we get her? Like, how do we do this? Right? The government, never, never trust the government. Anyway, these parents filled out the required forms and they said that, you know, hey, you know, because they didn't know why that they were sent this, but they didn't want to not comply or get in trouble for not responding. So they said that Zara hadn't completed high school because on the list it's like, you know, what level of education have you had? And they said that not completing high school was the closest thing to her not even graduating preschool yet. So that's what they marked. She hasn't graduated high school. And it's, it's not going to happen.

[B]

Obviously missed an opportunity to make this really viral. And like, bring her, bring her, put her in a nice outfit and yeah, bring her to court.

[A]

That would be really cute, right? I mean, obviously she wouldn't be chosen, but it's just a waste of time to have to bring your four year old to, to court for sure.

[B]

We ask that you don't bring your children. No, actually she's, I'm with her.

[A]

Right. Oh, yeah, I don't know, she. I'm her lawyer. Yeah, she's my lawyer. I thought that was funny. Do you guys hear my. This is not because I'm sick, by the way. I want you all to know that this morning we have a. You know when you run outside and it's cold and your lungs get like messed up from it and you just keep coughing? You can't stop coughing. We have a challenge at our gym right now where you're trying to get the most steps on the StairMaster in five minutes as possible. And the challenge is you have to beat yourself every week this month. So the first week I did 400. No, I did 516 steps in five minutes. I had to be trucking it, by the way, to do that because I saw that some other woman got like 4:22, so I wanted to beat her. So then I did 5:16. Then this other woman this week got 5:22, so I beat her. This morning I had to go on level 11 for five minutes on the Stairmaster. My feet could barely move. Like, my legs could barely go fast enough. I was like, almost gonna fall off, but I got 580 and I got off of the StairMaster and I was like, I'm going to die right now. This is like my. I'm taking my last breath right now. I'm going to die. I can't breathe. I started coughing. Like, I remember this from my childhood, like running outside and getting. I don't know what this phenomenon is, but it happened to me when I was inside today, just for five minutes, going as fast as humanly possible on the StairMaster. So that's why I sound like this. Anyway, speaking of fitness, people at Ozempic are getting an old timey sailor's disease. They're getting scurvy. And this is the headline that I saw. People on GLP1s are getting this, like, pirate disease. And you know, if you're on a GLP1 medication, it's going to obviously limit your appetite. This is why people are using it for weight loss, not just for diabetes, but people who just want to lose a few pounds are getting on GLP1s and they're not eating as much. So when you're not eating as much and you're making. You're not making sure that you're getting this, you know, vitamin dense and nutrient dense whole foods in your diet, you're going to have a vitamin deficiency. And scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency. So people who are on GLP1s, if they're not Good about getting vitamin C or vegetables and getting their fruit in berries, tomatoes, things like that. You can get scurvy. You can also develop with scurvy, anemia, bloody gums, poor wound healing and bruising on your body. So again, this is just another laundry list of side effects that you can get from taking this drug or any drug for that matter. And I have a weight loss plan that won't give you scurvy.

[B]

And it's called 500 steps on the StairMaster.

[A]

Correct. Kill yourself on the StairMaster like I do. Or eat a balanced diet of whole foods. Eat fruits and vegetables, eat meat, eat lean protein, good protein, grass fed protein, wild caught fish. But these people will do anything except exercise and eat fruits and vegetables and lean protein and good fats. I have a friend who's on Ozempic and she's like, I'm just not hungry. I eat like Chick Fil A once a day. Like, why are you eating Chick Fil A? And she's like, I'm losing so much weight. And I'm like, I, I. Okay. Anyway, I just, I just think there's, there's a, there's a healthier way to do this. And you just eat good foods and work out more than you're eating. Like you just have to burn more calories than you're eating. This is, People will tell you that their bodies defy the laws of thermodynamics, that this doesn't apply to them because of whatever reason. And while there are certain medications that might cause weight gain or certain, you know, medical issues that could cause weight gain, for sure. I'm not trying to say that there aren't. The vast majority of people on GLP1s are not those people. You actually have to work very hard to lose weight. It is hard. And a lot of people don't want to do hard things. And people might think that they are dieting, people might think that they are trying to eat healthy, but it is so hard. And I'm telling you this as someone who I've worked out my whole life, I've played a ton of sports and I always think that I'm eating right. Like, I always think that I'm eating well, but there's ways to eat well. And then you sneak in certain things and it turns out with like certain salad dressings and other drinks, like you kind of the calories add up. And if you're really not meticulous about it, it's easy to plateau and it's easy to not burn as many calories. As you're eating, it's just easy to fall into that trap. And you have to be so meticulous about is hard. Like, I'm not saying that it's not hard. It is hard. And I'm doing 75 hard right now. They call it hard for a reason. And I. I'm. I don't feel like I feel healthy, but I. Like, I'm not eating it. Like, I know that I'm not eating enough. Like, I. It's hard. Hard to get in enough calories when you're eating fruits, vegetables, meat. Like, it's just hard. It's. It's difficult. So I understand when people struggle with weight loss and fitness and stuff, but my friend reached out to me recently, and she was like, you inspire me to work out. I need to know what inspires you to work out. And I said, it's really not. It's discipline. And you have to get into a habit of good habits. And when you fall into a habit of bad habits, that's why you're not going to the gym. That's why you're not eating right. It has to be a lifestyle. If you're doing, like, I'm doing this challenge right now, but I know that working out and eating right is a lifestyle. I can't do 75 hard forever. It's not sustainable. But my friend was asking me, like, how do you get to the gym? And I said, well, I always have gone to the gym, and it takes about 30 days to make a habit. So once you do something for 30 days, that's the hardest part. Do it for 30 days. And then after you break through that. That threshold, it doesn't feel like a diet anymore. It doesn't feel like I'm dragging my feet to get through the gym. It's just what you do. Me going to the gym six days a week, normally seven days. Now twice a day with 75 hard, it doesn't feel like a chore anymore. It just feels like what I do. It's part of my routine now. So I always say, just make it a habit. You just have to make it a habit. Once you make it a habit, it becomes a lifestyle. And, you know, that's just my. I'm not a. I'm not a fitness instructor. I'm not a nutritionist. I don't know what I'm talking about. But you just have to make it a habit. And someone in the chat says you, it's 30 days to make or break a habit. Chrissy Katz said that. And yes, like, that's what I'm saying. My friends who have fallen, I've gone to the gym with friends who, you know, they're super fit and everything, they fall out or they fall off of their, their fitness routine and you can get into the habit of not going. So you just have to pick. Do I want to have healthy habits or not healthy habits? Anyway, I've yapped too much about Ozempic and fitness stuff for, for today, but I want to talk about this new study that was done in the UK and it's what the ideal woman and man look like according to Brits. So this is according to Brits. I will say no one in this study talked about teeth but, or, or smile, which I thought was funny because I feel like in the United States smiles are so much more important and in Britain they're kind of notorious for not having the best teeth or dental work. So I don't know. But this clinic called Creo Clinic surveyed about a thousand Brits about the physical qualities that they find most appealing based on age and revealed that our preferences change with age and they change based on how old you are. So Boomers for example think that the ideal man is five seven to five nine. They think he has a classic build, almond shaped blue eyes and dark brown wavy hair. So we could pull down. They have like a little like an AI rendering of what these people look like. Yeah. So the ideal boomer male, you can all take a look. I think he's handsome. He's handsome. And then to the right of him is the ideal woman for Boomer women. And this is blonde straight hair, round blue eyes, button nose, full lips. And these men, these Boomer men prefer the woman between 57 and 5 9, so around the same height. And the men prefer an hourglass shape. Then when you turn to Gen X they prefer almond shaped brown eyes. This is men almond shaped brown eyes. You can look over there, button nose, heart shaped lips. This is very popular among this thing. You're going to see that it's repetitive. Everyone loves a button nose and nice lips and things like that. But they like dark brown hair with a short fade style, 510 to 6 foot. So we're getting taller and hair is getting shorter. Interesting. You said that he looks like Mark Normand. The Gen X looks like Mark Norman. Yeah, he does. He totally fits that. Mark Normand is probably a millennial though, right? I would guess he's probably a millennial. Yeah, he's the ideal, he's the beauty standard. I wonder if Mark Norman knows that he's the beauty standard in the uk. He should go over there. I don't know what his, what his preferences are and I don't know if he's married or anything. I don't know anything about his personal life, but he's the ideal man according to Gen X. And the ideal woman in Gen X. Also blonde, but brown eyes, full lips, button nose, round face, straight light blonde hair, medium length. So I guess longer hair maybe. And brown eyes. That's really the only difference. And a little shorter. The men don't want the women to be as tall as them. They say 5, 4 to 5, 6, 6. So a little shorter. So this like this height gap is becoming more prevalent as you get younger, which I think is consistent. I, I see that now. According to millennials, the ideal man is almond shaped, brown eyes, button nose. Again, that damn button nose. Who, what man has a button nose? I've never seen a button nose on a man. First of all, I would, I would consider a button nose to be something that like a young girl has. I don't know, I've never seen.

[B]

No one in the booth knows what a button nose is.

[A]

Can you google what a button nose is? I think it's just like a cute little, I don't know, like a, I don't know, I don't know what a button nose is.

[B]

Here comes your anatomy lesson.

[A]

All right. What droopy nose, funnel nose, Grecian nose, button nose? I don't know. I mean small, dainty, slightly upturned nose characterized by a rounded tip and a short delicate bridge. Small, petite. Again, why would I want a button nose on a man? I don't know. On a baby, on a child, on a toddler. Very cute. But I think you grow out of the button nose nose thing at, at some point. Anyway, ideal man for millennials, Almond shaped brown eyes, button nose, full lips, inverted triangle face, whatever that means. Dark brown wavy hair cut into a short fade style. Again, the height snobs are, are out in full force. 5, 10 to 6 foot. So now people are starting to prefer a more athletic build in terms of body type. And the ideal woman had an athletic build before it was an hourglass shape. Older generations, boomers, Gen X want an hourglass shape. Now millennials and Gen Z want a more athletic shape. Interesting, because I feel like health and wellness is so prevalent now. That probably goes into it. They say that the it's muscular, they want muscles, they want narrow waist and hips. It's interesting. Then Gen Z, Gen Z, they want almond shaped brown button Eyes, button nose, full lips, inverted triangle face shape, dark brown wavy hair and a short fade. Height preference a little shorter, five seven to five nine. This is going back to the boomers. Same height preference and athletic build. And then with women, Gen Z women, the perfect Gen Z woman. Almond shaped brown eyes, button nose, heart shaped face and full lips. And the, the researchers in the UK said that people are so obsessed with the full lips. Like they want this because everyone's getting lip filler. So now I feel like it's training people's brains to be attracted to it, even though it's totally not natural. People in the chat are cracking me up. And then for women, they want long black, straight hair. Interesting. And then now we're back to hourglass figure. So millennials want athletic women. Gen Z wants the hourglass shape. I. And I. I was just thinking because I thought that this was interesting. If this was done in the United States, would it be different? And I did say earlier that, you know, there was no mention of smile. I feel like when I think of people who I'm attracted to, like, oh, if they have a nice smile, that's nice. But there was no mention of that. And I wonder if, I don't know, I wonder if it was done in the US like, what the beauty standard would be.

[B]

My guess immediately would be taller men.

[A]

I agree. I don't, I'm not like a height snob, but I do like when the guy is taller than me. And I've also dated guys that are shorter and they always make comments about, oh, you're wearing heels. It's like, just annoying. So anyway, what time is it? We got like, let's do scrolling time.

[B]

I mean, we've done an hour, but let's just, let's just go, oh, let's.

[A]

Do the blind reactions. Okay, let's do those. Those are more fun. We'll end on the blind reactions. I'll save the scrolling time.

[B]

I'll hit a stinger here for, for Friday.

[A]

Okay, so Justin grabbed these videos. So I have not seen these, but the first one says the 2027 Super bowl halftime show. It is interesting to think, you know, they started with a full Spanish super bowl after all the backlash and stuff. Will they course correct or will they just go back to what they've been doing? And will we just. Now we'll have to cycle through all of the languages except for ours. That's gonna.

[B]

Yeah, if they don't do every language, then they're racist.

[A]

Right? So now they, they opened the can of worms. Now It's. We'll never understand a halftime show ever again. The NFL will get like canceled before we get through all the countries. I don't know. All right, this second one, two guys propose an achievement based system for school teachers.

[B]

Who here wants to see real economic growth and results in our city? Yeah, let's make it happen by transitioning our teacher staff from our current diverse lineup to a selective high achieving team.

[A]

Let's not look at skin color and just look at the, the scores.

[B]

We didn't look at skin color. They're actually the highest cheevers in this area.

[A]

It'll never fly in Orange County. I'm just telling you that now. Do they speak good English? Next.

[B]

Rest assured, 12% of their salaries will fund their Uber rides to and from schools. It's a win win situation. Sharper minds in class and fewer risks on the road.

[A]

This really sounds racist. I don't know. Stupid. I'm so.

[B]

What?

[A]

It's stupid.

[B]

What's stupid?

[A]

The whole thing. These guys go to council meetings and, and do this stuff.

[B]

It's a win win.

[A]

It's a, it's a win win. Yeah, I like that. This last one, blind skater shreds on the haters. He's. Oh. Oh man. Oh, I. Okay. This video reminds me of that show ridiculousness or what was it called on mtv? Scarred. What was that show called? I don't like watching people get hurt. So I just have to tell myself that he's fine.

[B]

He totally did on purpose.

[A]

He's not blind. You don't think?

[B]

I don't. I wouldn't think so. That would be pretty funny for an actual blind dude to drop in.

[A]

I, I don't know. Blind people are incredible. What they can do. They, they do not let them hold them back. Like it's really incredible. You know Pete Gustin who does the Dan Bongino show intro? And he does. He's the, he's the voice of everything. He's blind and he is so wonderful. He's one of the coolest people I've ever worked with. Because when I first started at Fox, I worked in the advertising and on air promotion department. So I would write the scripts for the commercials and then I would send my script over to Pete Gustin and Pete's blind. And I one time asked him, I said, how do you, how do you read my emails and how do you read the script? And he has a system where he has trained himself, where it's speaks to him in one ear and he says it at the exact same time. Like, there is basically no lag time where he's trained himself to listen and speak at the same time and. And basically repeat what's being. He's being what's being fed to him in his ear. And he does not let him hold him back. There are people in the industry that said, you're never going to be able to do this because you can't read like everyone else can. And he said, watch me.

[B]

Do you know if he was born blind or no? He became.

[A]

He had macular degeneration. I think he lost his sight when he was seven.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And so he knows what it's like to see. And he had to experience losing his sight slowly, which is really quite traumatic and. And hard to deal with, especially as a kid, but people told him, oh, you'll never make it in this industry. And he's one of the most famous voices that you've ever heard and to the point about skateboarding. He surfs with his dog, so he just has a little thing on that says blind surfer. He goes out with people, so he does not let that disability hold him back in any way.

[B]

Yeah. While we're hyping up blind people, Josh mentioned Andrea Pacelli as well.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[B]

What I was just telling you the other day is an absolute must see concert. He's getting old and you gotta go see him before he stops touring.

[A]

I know. That's a bucket list, seeing Andrea Bocelli.

[B]

And not only bucket list, it's like next 10 years list because.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, now I'm stressed. Me Googling Andrea Bocelli tickets. Well, thank you.

[B]

Chat wants to see it one more time.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's horrible. I hope it's fake. I hope that video is fake. I hate that. All right, thanks for scrolling along with me on this Friday afternoon. I hope you all have a great weekend. You can follow me on social media at Haley Karania on most platforms and. And I'll see you right back here on Monday. Bye.
