Last week I told you about Clay Travis's proposition to become the most inclusive and gender affirming WNBA franchise owner ever. Vowing to only draft trans women and a trans coaching staff. Meaning men. Men dominating Women using the WNBA's own policies against them. The Nashville balls are in their infancy. However, there are already former NBA stars lining up to hoop with the ladies. Because if you feel like a woman, you are a woman. Isn't that right wnba? Isn't that right lefties? So here's Enos Cantor, Freedom former Knicks and Boston Celtics player, vowing to suit up with the ladies. Watch.

Clay Travis
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self identification and inclusion. Based on the Current guidelines. I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally consistently and without exception. And I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp.
- [03:25]
Hailey Carania
See you at training camp, he says. And Enos Cantor Freedom is in good company now with former Sacramento Kings player Royce White announcing this watch.
- [03:36]
Royce White
Oh, earlier this week, I made the announcement. I'm. I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as. Sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional basketball. So I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well. I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable, you know, but I'm a team first guy. You know, I'm a pass first kind of player. I do the little things. You know, I led my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa State University. So I do a little bit of everything. I'll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I'll do whatever the girls need me to do.
- [04:13]
Justin
All kidding aside, what is the reason
- [04:16]
Clay Travis
for your decision to declare for the WNBA draft?
- [04:20]
Royce White
No, I think it's only fair. I think it's only fair. I see other great minds, other great athlete, political minds like Enos Cantor, you know, great minds think alike and it's only fair that some of us, some of us get a shot to play in the, in the Women's Association. I think I'd be a great fit. You know, my. I still have low mileage as a player and, and you know, I got the natural fair skin and the nice, you know, thick eyelashes and whatnot. I haven't broken out my wigs yet, but, but I'm looking into some, some good ones. I don't know much about the wigs, but I'm looking into some and I just hope that the, the bangs on the wig don't get into my eyesight so I can, I can play like I need to play.
- [05:02]
Hailey Carania
We don't. We wouldn't want eyelashes getting in the way of play.
- [05:07]
Justin
I'm sorry. I'm just sitting here cackling.
- [05:10]
Hailey Carania
You find this funny?
- [05:12]
Justin
No, I'm very respectful of.
- [05:13]
Hailey Carania
Right, of course. You have to respect the W in the wnba. You think this is funny? This is hilarious. Obviously. And someone in the chat was saying that they would buy his jerk or her jersey.
- [05:25]
Royce White
Right.
- [05:26]
Hailey Carania
Enis Cantor, Freedoms female jersey, WNBA jersey, and Royce White's WNBA jersey. You know, hypothetically, if this goes any further, which it won't, but it is funny to just expose the WNBA's retardation.
- [05:39]
Justin
But we'll see. The powers that be at the W are meeting this week to define woman going on.
- [05:46]
Hailey Carania
Yeah. They're trying to figure out what to do with all this now. But it is funny to think that people would be more willing to buy the jerseys of the men if they were to join the wnba. You just have to add men into the mix, and then all of a sudden, people start throwing money at them.
- [06:02]
Justin
Royce White played three games in the NBA, and that jersey is going to be.
- [06:07]
Guest or Contributor
Yeah.
- [06:07]
Hailey Carania
Bestseller.
- [06:08]
Justin
Bestseller.
- [06:09]
Hailey Carania
And he'll crush everyone on the court, probably. So this is. So anyway, in that last video, he was talking about how just to really come into his full form as a woman, he's going to need a wig. And he was worried that the wig was going to get into his eyes. And he was dead serious about this, though, about finding a wig. Here he is. He ordered some. He said it came, y'.
- [06:28]
Justin
All.
- [06:28]
Hailey Carania
My first wig tomorrow, I tested on the court. This is my feminine era. Glow up. Did I slay? If y' all don't. Yes, Queen, you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred. I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies. And of course, he's using this to get some attention on his. Whatever race he's running. Can you pull that up again? I think he's running for Senate or something somewhere. I forget it says in his. Minnesota. What? Senate. Okay. Yeah, he's running for Senate in Minnesota. So obviously, I think Enos Cantor Freedom has. He's become more of an activist, and in the political realm, he's been speaking out about this for a while now. I feel like Royce White is just kind of, like, jumping on the bandwagon because he thinks that he can get some more attention on his Senate race, which is fine. Like, I mean, it is what it is, but it's just. It's all very funny, honestly. But anyway, Royce White was interviewed on Fox News, and he talked about how he's really leaning into the feminine. Watch, you know, right.
- [07:30]
Royce White
Right now, I'm just. I'm just having a blast in my feminine era. I never thought that I was a woman. You know, I've always trusted the science, and I thought I was a man. My Entire life. But, you know, after further review, you know, look strong, look at my personal preferences, it would appear that. That I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman. And I think it's only fair I get a chance to play with some of my queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.
- [07:59]
Hailey Carania
Let him play with the queens. Let him queen out a little bit. Let him clean out. He deserves it.
- [08:05]
Justin
That first dunk is going to echo through the universe.
- [08:09]
Hailey Carania
It's so funny. I just like that he's really. He's leaning into it, but I wish he didn't say that he sometimes thinks that he's trans, because while I guess there are some people, you know, I'm trying to understand the queer community, which I really can't do. Most of them are. This is beyond understanding. But, you know, I guess he's playing into the fact that this is a spectrum. They say that gender is a spectrum. Like, you can. It kind of just like goes with the wind. Whichever. Whichever way the wind blows, your gender can also go that way. But the WNBA is now having to respond to these. These announcements that there are w. I'm sorry, There are NBA players, former NBA players, that are really seemingly serious about joining the squad. They're seriously serious about this. And the WNBA or the Players association put out a statement saying that they won't be used as political pawns. So they said this. This is a message from WNBPA player leadership to everyone who loves this game. The W bpa. Why wnbpa? This is very hard for me. I don't know why. Represents 200 plus individual people with different lived experiences. This is when you know, you lost me. This is. This is where you lost me. They. They are representing individual people. So you can't even say women.
- [09:37]
Justin
I don't think they represent the coaches, so I would.
- [09:40]
Hailey Carania
This. It's the Players association, is it not?
- [09:43]
Justin
Be all women's women.
- [09:45]
Hailey Carania
You lose me. You lose me immediately. You put out this crap in the first sentence. They lose me. They represent individual people with different lived experiences. First of all, the people. You lost me. Lived experience, lost. I hate these words. I hate these buzzwords. Different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles and opinions. We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. You're probably thinking, sorry, what is this group again? Again? This is the Players association, the union that's supposed to represent the players. What are we talking about? I feel like they've lost the plot. I think they've forgotten what their real job is. So those are the values that unite this union and allow it to protect women's sports. Oh, really? All of a sudden, now they throw in the W word? First they're representing people, now they're. Now they're protecting women's sports, okay. While creating transformational change. Transformational. I love all the words they're using. Statement. It's so stupid. Hate, abuse, and demonization of every. Of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. This isn't hard. It shouldn't be hard. Maybe it's hard for them if you're a little slower than the rest of us. Maybe it is hard, but this is not hard to protect women. You're the wnba. You're the players association that's supposed to protect women. And they say that, you know, it takes them a little longer to get there because, again, they're slow. But, you know, halfway through their statement here, they're like, you know, we are supposed to protect women's sports. Okay? It's not hard to do that. It's not hard to do that. You just allow women to play and you protect those women. It's pretty easy. But they say this. We will not be used as political pawns. Support the players. Support the fans at games. Notify security if you witness hateful, violent, or abusive behavior online. Report abusive posts and drown out the bots and bad actors at home. Tell your elected officials to strengthen Title 9. They don't see the hypocrisy in this. First of all, they're like anyone that thinks that we're not right here. Shut up. Tell them to shut up. Report their posts, censor them, and then tell your elected officials to support Title 9. And what is that supposed to do? Protect women. Okay, so first they say that we have to embrace justice, diversity, and inclusion. Inclusion that, you know, hate and abuse and demonization of any group only fuels fear. They cannot see the hypocrisy in this. This is a league that's supposed to be for women. It was created so that female athletes would have a space that they could thrive in away from men. Because if they are forced to play together, they would not thrive. They would not even make it so. Their own empathy has eroded, that they've worked so hard that they're allowing the entire reason that they've woke so hard, rather that they are allowing the entire reason for their existence to crumble. If you are accepting of everyone, then what's the point of even having a separate league? If men and women, it doesn't matter what the differences are, then Just get rid of the WNBA altogether. Just have. Just have the WNBA players try out for the NBA and see how that works out. If men can be women and women can be men and they're equal in every way, then just dissolve it. There's no. There's no need for your existence at all. And put your money where your mouth is. They say save the NBA. Like, seriously, they. They're asking people to help the WNBA by supporting the players, buying tickets, buying jerseys, all these things. You're wasting money. The entire existence of the WNBA is a waste of money. The NBA, it like their lifeline. They're about to. Like, they're just. They're almost dead, but the NBA keeps giving them like a. A lifeline. And it's. It's not making any money. It's stupid. So again, prove how equal women are to men. They can't do that because men and women are already equal under the law. You can't make biological men equal to biological women physically. That's an impossibility. And this has become the Achilles heel of the pro choicers, right? They say that men and women are equal under the law, or they aren't equal under the law because there are no laws that restrict a man's reproductive health. Well, yeah, they can't get abortions, so it doesn't apply to them. This is specific. This. This kind of murder is only specific to women. So again, they. They think that they're equal. They're not. But to admit the stupidity in that, they'd have to admit that men can't get pregnant. And they're also not willing to admit that, because then they'd have to come to terms with the fact that they're wrong and they're actively undermining women's rights while they claim to fight for them. And they say that this whole stunt is hateful and abusive and divisive. Imagine how women feel when they have to compete against trans people. Imagine how cast aside and disadvantaged they feel when they have to compete against men and then they have to share a locker room with them and undress in front of them. And maybe this isn't happening in the WNBA currently, but the rules and regulations they're standing by allow for this lunacy to happen. And it's happening in high school, college, professional, and Olympic sports all over the world. And the WNBA got themselves into this mess. If they don't want to be used as political pawn, then don't make political statements and don't set the standard that mentally ill men can play with women. Because when straight men claim to be transgender as a joke, they're only using the WNBA's logic against them. So. And we've talked about this. We talked about this on the show probably last week whenever we covered it the first time. But how do you prove that someone is transgender anyway if they're just the type of transgender? I'm not saying that people that go all the way and they do all the facial feminization surgery and whatever else they're doing, if they're just the identifiers or they're very early on in their transition, I mean, how do you. How do you prove that? It's just a feeling. The whole concept is based on vibes. And they trust other men to decide when they claim to be female. So what's the difference? Why can't these former WNBA stars not prove that they're trans by just saying that they feel it? What would make it real for the. For the woke? Do they have to put she. They in their Instagram bio? Do they have to put a transgender flag in their bio? Is that what makes it real? Because for the rest of the trans community, that's enough. That's all that they have to do. They just have to claim that they're trans, and then that's enough. It's enough to just feel like a woman, whatever that feels like. The difference is that transgenders are so mentally ill that they believe this own false reality. And unfortunately, the rest of society is just allowing it to happen. So they allow mentally ill men into the locker rooms and spaces of women, but not the men, who, in a roundabout way, are the only ones who are really doing anything to stand up for women. The kicker at the end of the statement is that they're urging people to strengthen Title 9, and that's what conservatives and activists like Riley Gaines and President Trump have been calling for this whole time. That's how they end their statement. That's how they think they're sticking it to us. They also ask for support, you know, please still support us. Why the hell would anyone support the WNBA at this point? They're a joke. They're proving to be a joke. You're not a league worth respecting and supporting. And they can't even support their own players. So why would anyone else? Why would anyone else? Then Commissioner Kathy Engelbert says they're going to have a meeting to basically determine what a woman is. And the Associated Press and ESPN obtained the memo that she sent out, but they only released excerpts. So I'm just going to read what we have of this memo from the commissioner. I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women's basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention. I wanted to reach out to share how we were approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded with questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism. The league will always approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the long standing values of our league. But second, our player eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues and governing bodies, are collectively bargained. Lastly, preserving the integrity of our game and ensuring fair competition will always remain among the league's highest priorities. We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic. It's really not. And we will continue to have important conversations with all of you and the Players association in the weeks and months ahead. Weeks and months say, how long does it take to figure out what a woman is? We also plan to convene additional discussions and offer listening sessions for any team leaders who would like to participate. Oh, my goodness. Your perspectives and feedback are invaluable, and I appreciate those who have already reached out to share their thoughts. So they need a meeting to figure out who gets to play in the WNBA and what these rules are. This is not a serious organization. It never was. And the people running it aren't serious either. They said in the weeks and months ahead, how long does it take to figure this out? How long does it take?
- [18:48]
Justin
I think this is going to be the best thing that could happen for everybody. Let's just. Let's figure it out together what a woman is, and then we can. Everybody can just move on and be done with it.
- [19:00]
Hailey Carania
But it's not going to go that way. It's not going to be that simple because they've backed themselves. They've backed themselves into a corner where gender doesn't matter. Everyone's equal at the same time.
- [19:12]
Royce White
And.
- [19:12]
Hailey Carania
And now they're going to have to come up with a definition of who gets to play in the wnba. Well, to say that it's just women means that they are pissing off the entire LGBTQ community. And then all the lesbians that play in the WNBA are going to be mad. They're going to be mad, mad. And they can't piss off them for sure. Again, the solution is to just dissolve the WNBA altogether.
- [19:33]
Justin
No, no doubt. I think the biggest. So the WNBA draft, which, by the
- [19:38]
Hailey Carania
way, is not fair to women who want to play. Like, none of this is Actually fair.
- [19:42]
Justin
Correct.
- [19:42]
Hailey Carania
And the women who play and deserve to play on a professional level are getting the short end of the stick because the people who are in charge of them are retards.
- [19:52]
Justin
I'm team Women's league. I think it's a great thing. I think there are a lot of pros to that. But I do think that they have backed themselves into such a corner, they now have until April to get this figured out. As devil's advocate, I hate to put you on the spot how. What would you do if you're the wnba, how do you keep these guys out of the WNBA without saying the buzzwords?
- [20:19]
Hailey Carania
This is why everybody off. This is why, if it's possible, this is why it's going to take them a month or plus to figure this out, because this is the problem. This is what I just said. They. To not allow these men to join means that they're actually going to have to come up with something similar to what the International Olympic Committee was doing after Amain Khalif was boxing and.
- [20:43]
Justin
Great point.
- [20:44]
Hailey Carania
She was. Or he. Whatever. This. What is the term for it? Not hermaphrodite. What do they call it? Transsexual or something? Whatever. When you're born with both parts and both. Whatever. But Amain Khalif was born with XY chromosomes making her a woman and. Or what was it? She was born with XX chromosomes. I'm getting it confused. She was born a man. He was born like, what the heck? Sorry, this is why it's so confusing, but what the International Olympic Committee had to do, again, this is a man competing against a woman. So that's what I mean here. I'm sorry, I'm getting like the trans terminology.
- [21:21]
Royce White
No.
- [21:21]
Justin
Once you start getting deep into it, it's so ridiculous that you cannot keep it straight.
- [21:24]
Hailey Carania
Right. So anyway, I know you all know how I feel about this, but Amain Khalif beat the absolute hell out of, I think her name, and I don't want to mispronounce or say it incorrectly because I don't mean to disrespect her, but whoever it was, I think her last name was Karini. She's the Italian boxer that she or that was competing and not she was knocked out within seconds and she said she'd never been hit like that before and it felt like she was getting hit by a man. So at that point, you know, the International Olympic Committee had to come up with a solution because you can't have domestic violence, an Olympic sport. You have to actually protect your athletes, whether they're male or female. But everyone has to have a level playing field. Otherwise, sports are not fun to watch if people are cheating or whatever. Like, and this goes for anything. This goes for deflated balls in the NFL. This goes for whatever. There has to be a level playing field. Otherwise, it's not fair, and then it's not fun, it's not entertaining, and then it's not fair to the, to the actual players. So I believe what the International Olympic Committee did was make sure that there were hormone levels that were equal. And again, this is why we have weight classes. This is why we have separate. This is why we have separate everything, because otherwise it's not fair.
- [22:48]
Justin
So I think that's going to be the safe play. I, I, I totally agree. And you, you nailed it.
- [22:54]
Hailey Carania
I also.
- [22:55]
Justin
Great, great answer. That's what I think is going to happen.
- [22:57]
Hailey Carania
I also think, you know, trans people should be able to play sports. I think everyone should be able to play sports, but not on a professional level, because not everyone gets to do that. Not everyone gets to go to the Olympics. Not everyone gets to play in college. Not everyone gets to play in the wnba, for example. Like, there have to be parameters. Otherwise, we let the participation trophy generation rule everything. And then again, if nothing is special, then nothing is special. If nothing is sacred, then nothing is sacred. Like, you have to make sure that the sport is protected. And if there are, there's no competition, no fair competition at all, then it's not fair. Transgender athletes playing in sports is not fair. And again, you never see it on the other end, because females who transition to males are never going to threaten male sports. They're, they're not good enough. They're biologically not strong enough, fast enough to even pose a threat to male sports. So it only impacts women. And that's why the WNBA has an opportunity to actually protect women. And they're probably going to shit the bed. But I guess we'll see what happens when they, you know, spend the next month or so figuring out what a woman is.
- [24:12]
Clay Travis
I'm on whatever team gets Ennis Cantor a starting position on a WNBA team
- [24:17]
Justin
just for a game.
- [24:18]
Clay Travis
Because, I mean, you still have these
- [24:19]
Justin
Twitter idiots be like, and his canter
- [24:21]
Clay Travis
sucked in the NBA. He's going to lose to these girls.
- [24:23]
Hailey Carania
He's not going to lose to the girls.
- [24:24]
Clay Travis
He will be the MVP for every season he plays.
- [24:27]
Justin
Do you remember the DeMarcus cousins Brittney Griner beef?
- [24:30]
Hailey Carania
No.
- [24:31]
Justin
She insisted that she was better than DeMarcus Cousins. And I know you probably don't know who DeMarcus Cousins is. Enormous. The biggest human being you've ever seen.
- [24:41]
Hailey Carania
I was going to ask all star
- [24:42]
Clay Travis
center in the NBA against grown dudes.
- [24:45]
Hailey Carania
I was going to ask how tall enes Kanter is.
- [24:48]
Justin
6, 11. I think he's enormous.
- [24:50]
Hailey Carania
10.
- [24:50]
Clay Travis
6 11.
- [24:51]
Justin
He was good. We were, we were laughing in here. He was always in the running for six man of the year. Granted, he's not LeBron James, right. But he was a really good solid player for sure.
- [25:03]
Hailey Carania
Solid player, right.
- [25:04]
Clay Travis
So Clay Travis gets his 10 million dollar game. I would pay however much he wants.
- [25:09]
Justin
Pay per view.
- [25:09]
Clay Travis
I would pay so much money to watch that game.
- [25:13]
Hailey Carania
I think he should do it. I really do. Clay is going to be in Florida next week for a book event. I'm going to see him. I'll. I'll pose the question.
- [25:21]
Justin
No, we're big fans. We really appreciate the work he's doing.
- [25:26]
Hailey Carania
I'll let him know. I think it is ridiculous though that the wnba, they, they're posing this as, oh, we're really in between a rock and a hard place. Like we're gonna have to sit down and figure this out. They're figuring out they're having a meeting to consider reality. Whether or not we should live in reality or we should keep up this bit in fear of being called fascist and transphobic and whatever.
- [25:46]
Justin
I think it's gonna be to their benefit. The sooner they can just kind of get this done and say, rip the band aid off, move on. I think it's gonna be great for the NBA, wnba. Not to be confused with the mnba.
- [25:59]
Hailey Carania
The mnba, yeah. They did this to themselves, it really is. And they unknowingly pass the baton to Republicans to care about women's issues now. And they've put trans people, men above women for so long that when we call them out on their anti feminist policies and the hypocrisy of it all, they start to combust. I mean, when we say what is a woman? That's a joke for us because we know the answer. It is a real conundrum for the left, unfortunately. They like hit these walls where reality gets in the way of their fantasies and then their. They're just exposed. And the fact that these grown men threatening to join the league is the thing that's going to make the league consider to protect women is absurd. They're absurd and they deserve every second of this humiliation. And by the looks of their original statement, they think that they're standing up to these Republican transphobic bullies, but they're only being exposed for their hypocrisy. They don't deserve any viewership, in my opinion. It's a real shame for the athletes that don't subscribe to this nonsense. Caitlin Clark Sophie Cunningham I'm sure there are others who are too afraid to speak out, and I feel sorry for them too. But the league deserves to succumb to this political and ideological suicide. And any woman who still wants to play can try out for the NBA until the WNBA comes to their senses. But again, I don't see that happening, mainly because it would cause an uproar for the same feminists who don't support the WNBA anyway. And a lot of this conversation is on trans men invading women's sports. But if you keep women's sports female, then there would be more opportunities for female anchors and sports reporters and sideline reporters, et cetera, instead of women demanding visibility in men's sports. Now, these women are not demanding that they play in the mlb. That would be ridiculous. But this is all about DEI now. The Red Sox last week had a Women's Night. It was a Women's Celebration night on Wednesday, August 5th. And this was at Fenway. And they said this Join us for Women's Celebration For a powerful and inspiring night. We celebrate the incredible contributions of women in sports business and our community. This special event is your chance to be a part of something meaningful and fun at one of baseball's most iconic venues. Fans who purchase through this special offer will receive a limited edition Red Sox Women's Celebration Jersey. Geez. Designed by Boston artist Monique Amy, Jerseys will be available in sizes adult small to extra large with preferred preferred sizes distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Monique, the artist behind the jersey design, says she's excited to share this special Women's Celebration Jersey illustration with the Boston community. The jersey features the skyline and game changers women who are at the heart of this sport. Do you think women are at the heart of baseball? I'm just going to pose the question to the men in the room. You're not going to get in trouble with me.
- [28:56]
Justin
I I don't think they're at the necessarily the heart of baseball's America's pastime. It's for everybody.
- [29:02]
Hailey Carania
Sure.
- [29:03]
Justin
I don't think there are a lot of women out there itching for women's night, if that's what you're asking.
- [29:09]
Hailey Carania
I agree with that. I don't think that women are at the heart of baseball because if that was true, they wouldn't have had to go make the women's baseball league, which we saw, no one knows who's playing or what's happening. All anyone has ever talked about is the horrific national anthem experience that we, that we heard.
- [29:25]
Justin
They do, they do have softball. I mean, that's more aligned with.
- [29:29]
Hailey Carania
And this is different version. Yes, the softball wasn't good enough. They had to make a professional women's baseball league, which is just ridiculous. But whatever. So the reaction to this women's event at, at Fenway park got the reaction that you would expect. It was all women on the panel for the. It was women everywhere. And this feminist is angry that men were angry about the all women night. So watch this.
- [29:56]

So the Red Sox had a women's empowerment night last night. So they had an entire female broadcast do the game. And the comments on Twitter were atrocious. I mean, they were appalling. Here's the thing. First of all, the Red Sox play 162 game season. They play every single day. And one night they had an entire female team and everybody is up in arms. Second of all, spare me the DEI hire bullshit because every single woman on that broadcast has years, years of experience in the industry. Alana has decades of experience in baseball. Emma, the play by play announcer, she is the current Sea Dogs announcer for the Double A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. They got way more experience than you. But mind you, I started my career in broadcast. My job for the first three years after graduation was just watch baseball games, specifically the Yankees, but all different games every single day. 162 game season. So I've listened to a lot of male announcers. The amount of times they've gotten a name wrong, didn't see the play, misspoke.
- [30:53]
Hailey Carania
It happens all the time.
- [30:55]
Guest or Contributor
And yet nobody bats an eye. Shout out to the women. They did a great job. And they don't need me to say this, but people on Twitter that are running their mouth that will never even step foot in a broadcast booth.
- [31:04]
Hailey Carania
So the point is the people. Why. The reason why people are mad is because the Red Sox should serve their target audience 24 7, 365 days a year. That audience is men. You're laughing.
- [31:19]
Justin
She listed a lot of credentials and none of them were former MLB players.
- [31:23]
Hailey Carania
Correct. Every time a league or team does these pandering events for one night only, the juice is not worth the squeeze. Women are not flocking to Fenway park because they had a women's event. The women who are already going probably just like baseball. And that's great. It's the same Idea with Pride Nights for one night, we're gonna check our boxes. We don't really give a shit about making queer people feel seen any other day of the year. But, you know, our DEI executive told us we had to do this one night, so here we are. Right. It's all so disingenuous. Anyway. They're certainly not having these women's nights and Pride nights because they care. They're hitting a quota. And if they really cared about appealing to these different audiences, they would make more of an effort. It wouldn't just be this one night only thing. But they don't. Because they don't see the reaction from their actual audience members that's positive. They're pissing off the people that are actually spending money on their product. So do you dei yourself to death and sacrifice your actual fans in hopes that you bring in new folks? Like, this is the gamble and it's not worth it. And on the topic of women's sports, you can obviously be a woman and have interest in sports and do the research and know your stuff. I'm sure there are fantastic female sports broadcasters and whatnot. That's obvious. But, you know, women have been sidelined reporters for decades. And then it got to this next level where it's like, well, we need to sit in the anchor chair, too. Well, we need to have. We need to own teams, and we need to basically become men. We have to be on the same level as men. And where there's an opportunity, they want to replace the men and then only have women at the desk and in the booth. That's forced and unnatural. And it's this idea that men reject. And it never helps. It only hurts the cause. Now you have men hating on women. They wouldn't have been hating on women if there was one woman at the desk instead of five. But now you have men hating on it. In the name of Women's Celebration night. Way to go. Now we have to get into this. This is a classic. Baseball meets Am I the A hole? Wouldn't you. Wouldn't you think this is who's. Who's in the wrong here?
- [33:25]
Justin
This is my top story of the weekend.
- [33:27]
Hailey Carania
Top story. This isn't even from the weekend. This game was in 2023.
- [33:32]
Justin
Yes, but they, like, just resolved it, right?
- [33:34]
Hailey Carania
Yes, there was just a lawsuit. So just to fill everyone in, there was a little mishap at a Milwaukee brewers game over a 5050 raffle prize and the raffles. Official rules said that if you have the winning ticket, you have to go to a specific table on the concourse of first level by the end of the or the top of the seventh inning. And this woman, Annette Flynn, she had the winning ticket for the raffle. She reached the table, but she was too late. She didn't get there by the seventh inning. So they had given the ticket, the winning ticket. They drew another one and gave the ticket to another ticket holder. The prize to another ticket holder.
- [34:18]
Justin
Correct.
- [34:18]
Hailey Carania
So who's the a hole? Let's. Let's watch the video.
- [34:21]
Guest or Contributor
Court of Appeals is upholding a ruling after a woman claims she was wrongfully denied thousands of dollars from the molecules. Milwaukee Brewers 5050 raffle. Annette Flynn won the raffle during a game in July of 2023. Official rules require the winner to claim the prize at a specific table by the middle of the seventh inning. Brewers Community foundation says scoreboards show the winning number around 8:51pm with a seventh inning deadline about 9:12. Foundation says Flynn got to the table at 9:15, three minutes past the deadline. By then a new ticket had been drawn and also paid out. The court ruled that by playing fans agree to the rules of the raffle. The decision is considered binding.
- [35:05]
Justin
Okay, they left out a very, very important detail.
- [35:11]
Hailey Carania
What's that?
- [35:12]
Justin
Somebody gave her wrong directions to the table.
- [35:16]
Hailey Carania
Right. But that's okay. Here's my thing. Ticket was announced at 8:51pm so the winning ticket number is on the Jumbotron at 8:51pm you get 21 minutes to claim it. You get 21 minutes to get downstairs. Unless there is some sort of natural disaster. If there is some sort of like, I can't even imagine what could go wrong in this, this stadium that would prevent you from getting down three floors in 20 minutes.
- [35:48]
Justin
I can think of one thing. You walk up to the guy who's supposed to be in charge of helping you navigate a massive MLB stadium, and they say, here's what you're going to do. You're going to walk and take six lefts.
- [36:00]
Hailey Carania
So she claims. But she claims that the usher gave her the wrong directions. Again, even if you got wrong directions, it takes you 21 minutes to get down to a concourse. I don't really buy that. I think she was dicking around a little bit. I think she got the winning ticket. She didn't realize until it was too late. Maybe she was at the hot dog stand. Maybe she was in the bathroom line and like, tough shit.
- [36:22]
Justin
I have to believe that she was Nicholas Cage national treasuring trying to find this table.
- [36:30]
Hailey Carania
I agree.
- [36:30]
Justin
Every usher she went to was Just sending her in the wrong direction.
- [36:34]
Hailey Carania
She got down there at 9:15. They said she probably found out that she won the thing at like 9 11. And then she was like, oh my gosh, I have one minute to get down there. And. Well, that's the problem. You had 21 minutes and you tried to get down there in one and you got wrong directions. Now you're three minutes late.
- [36:52]
Justin
No doubt. I will give you. I will 100% give you. I don't know the exact timing. The usher gave her the wrong directions.
- [36:59]
Hailey Carania
I will say 21 minutes to get to the destination. Seems totally arbitrary to me. Like why the beginning of the seventh inning not. And I'm again, I'm not really defending this woman, but it does seem crazy that you wouldn't have until the end of the night to claim it. And how did they find someone else within that time frame? They said that she didn't come and get it by 9:12. She showed up at 9:15. So you're telling me from 9:12 to 9:15 they already put up a new number on the Jumbotron and gave the prize and cashed it out.
- [37:32]
Justin
I.
- [37:33]
Hailey Carania
How is that possible? They. They gave someone $13,000 and two minutes.
- [37:37]
Justin
Yeah, that's a very good point. I didn't. I haven't seen a lot of these 5050 because I don't pay attention to them because I'm not a.
- [37:44]
Hailey Carania
Me neither.
- [37:44]
Justin
Big gambler of 5050 raffles. They might put like a runner up number maybe like if this isn't claimed by, oh, you know, here's the next number. They might do that. I think they do that the Panthers Stadium because they have a pretty big 5050 raffle. It's tough. I, I think there. What the, the timing is arbitrary. I think you, you attack them legally on. Somebody told me the wrong way that
- [38:13]
Hailey Carania
you can't attack the who. What are you gonna do? Sue the usher for giving you the wrong direction?
- [38:17]
Justin
Anybody for half the stuff people are suing people for. But if you're going to sue, I feel like you go in that direction. Not. There wasn't enough time.
- [38:25]
Hailey Carania
People in the chat are saying be on time. And I agree. I do think that the time restrictions are crazy. But if that is the rules, that's
- [38:33]
Justin
part of the game.
- [38:33]
Hailey Carania
That's part of the game.
- [38:34]
Justin
And those are the rules. They do 100% have the right to do whatever they want. That's part of. I mean, the same reason you go up millions of dollars in blackjack at the casino and they say all Right, that's time for you to go now.
- [38:46]
Hailey Carania
Especially because this is the Brewers Community Foundation. When you have this much money on the line, they've got their legal eyes dotted and T's crossed. They know what they can and can't do. And the Brewers Community foundation did not publicly name the person who received the prize, which I also think is kind of sketchy. Like, we only know her name because she's complaining about it, but it's like, who got. They really got a second person, and that person hasn't spoken out. And it just seems odd to me.
- [39:19]
Justin
I liked. I like to think that the usher knew the person who was going to get second and was like, hey, man, I'm going to throw her in the wrong direction. You got to be by that table waiting.
- [39:30]
Hailey Carania
Conspiracy.
- [39:31]
Justin
Huge conspiracy at the Brewers.
- [39:34]
Hailey Carania
So this went to court. The woman who wanted to win, and she had the winning ticket, but she didn't get there in time, was suing the Brow, the Brewers Community foundation, and a Milwaukee County City Court circuit court judge granted a judgment and said that the court concluded the official rules vested the foundation with the sole discretion to determine the winner and that the foundation had reasonably exercised that discretion. So it's really just up to. Long story short, it was up to the. The Brewers Foundation. They decide who wins. And you snooze, you lose. Basically. Haley, case closed.
- [40:11]
Justin
Does this. You miss out on $13,000. How long do you. Before you. I guess this person, it took a while. They took him to court. So, like, they clearly couldn't get over it. How long does this. Do you kick yourself for this? Couple weeks.
- [40:24]
Hailey Carania
The rest of my life.
- [40:24]
Justin
The rest of your life?
- [40:26]
Guest or Contributor
Yeah.
- [40:26]
Hailey Carania
You lost $13,000. That's life. That's life changing. $13,000 for sure.
- [40:32]
Justin
After taxes, you could probably. Probably pay off some student loan or, like, a car debt.
- [40:36]
Hailey Carania
You could invest it. Savings. Like, if you imagine the average American and the financial situation that they're in, everyone could use $13,000.
- [40:46]
Justin
Think of all the burritos you could get.
- [40:47]
Hailey Carania
So many $20 burritos. You can even afford a $40 burrito if you won this. But poor lady, she can't. Can we talk about this flight disaster? This was a flight that got canceled. And this was a Toronto. I'm sorry. It was a flight from Victoria, bc, to Toronto and it was canceled. This was a Canadian airline. I believe it was Porter Airlines. And the flight gets turned around all because of a toddler tantrum. And I've got thoughts on the state of parenting today. Not that I'M a parent, but this is crazy. If you can't control your toddler, maybe you don't fly with them.
- [41:27]
Justin
This is a real quick fix. Unless this toddler is superhuman and has
- [41:31]
Hailey Carania
super strength, well, we're gonna get to that, because I think it did so. A flight from Victoria, B.C. to Toronto was canceled Thursday after a parent and cabin crew failed to buckle a child's seatbelt. How is that possible? Leaving the remaining passengers stuck until Friday. In an email to CTV News, a spokesperson from Porter Airlines explained that the plane had closed its doors and left the terminal at Victoria International Airport. It was headed for the Runway when crew members realized the child was standing in their seat. The child's parent and cabin crew members attempted to buckle them in, but were ultimately unsuccessful. The airline said a young child was standing in their seat and would not secure their seatbelt. The aircraft could not take off in this unsafe condition, so the crew elected to return to the terminal. Oh, my gosh. And have the passengers disembark. Could you imagine? You are on the tarmac, you're getting ready to go, you're going towards the Runway. And then they're like, just kidding. This toddler's a piece of shit. And now everyone else's flight is derailed and your travel plans are derailed. It gets worse. According to the airline, the time it took to get the toddler and the parent off the plane with their bags, refile flight plans, do the other paperwork. It dragged past 12:30am could you imagine? It's late at night, too, which is when YYJ's Runway closes for the night. The passengers of flight PD444 were forced to spend the night in Victoria. Porter Airlines apologized for the effect that this had on other passengers and confirmed that they would be able to depart on flight on Friday. Now, I'm not a parent, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think there might be something wrong with your child. If the child is standing and its own parent cannot get it to sit down, and then the parent plus flight crew cannot get the. The child to sit down. You're telling me that three people, maybe four people, can't get a toddler to sit down? That tells me that this parent was probably afraid to parent in the way that they needed to in this moment for fear of CPS getting called. Because I think there's a way to handle this, but in public, ooh, I don't know if you want to open that can of worms, because this kid deserved something and I'm not. I'm not a fan of child abuse. I'm just saying you gotta. You gotta just assert dominance. And you're telling me that the parent and the flight crew couldn't get this kid to sit down? You have to make the kid sit down.
- [44:05]
Justin
I've seen how they treat some of these squirrely individuals with the duct tape and the wrist restraints and all that. You're telling me you couldn't just, like, just lightly put a little bungee cord
- [44:15]
Hailey Carania
around it, whap that ass before saying, hit the chat. Sit down, you little. And someone had some parents shouldn't be parents. I think this is a mix of gentle parenting also. I think that there's probably something to be said for the flight crew not wanting to inflict pain on the child. Not on purpose, but to your point, like, you got to hold this kid down. The flight crew is probably like, I don't want to hurt this kid. Because then everyone's afraid of a lawsuit these days.
- [44:44]
Justin
100%.
- [44:47]
Hailey Carania
If this was not on a public airplane and your kid is not sitting down, let's say you're in a. You're in your own driveway, and you can't get your kid into the. You can't get your kid to sit down in the car seat or something. Parents are gonna find a way to make that kid sit, or we're never
- [45:03]
Justin
leaving the house ever again. And for the rest of your life, I will just remind you of this moment.
- [45:07]
Hailey Carania
So then you kind of have to wonder, is it okay to fly with a child like this? If your child is this unruly, can you be trusted to take this child on a flight? Can they be trusted to behave long enough to. If your kid can't sit and answer and follow directions, then you probably lose the right to fly. And think about this kid's teacher in school.
- [45:33]
Justin
A very good point.
- [45:34]
Hailey Carania
Prayers up for this kid's teacher.
- [45:36]
Justin
This is clearly not his first rodeo at being a bad kid. So then. Yeah. What is your duty as a parent? To not inflict that Everyone else.
- [45:46]
Hailey Carania
Yeah. And then a bad kid knows the buttons to push, and they know what they can get away with and what they can't get away with, and they push the envelope because this parent clearly doesn't know how to parent. So that's crazy. Should we. I think I'm trying to think of where to go here, because I can't get into all the flock stuff. We're not gonna have time for that, I don't think. Should we go.
- [46:10]
Justin
There's a very clear direction. We should go right now what's that? Wedding bells are ringing.
- [46:16]
Hailey Carania
Okay.
- [46:17]
Justin
Friars are dinging.
- [46:19]
Hailey Carania
Okay, let's do. Let's do the Shake Shack one first, and then we'll do my McDonald's story. That's a good little. I like that. I like that a lot. Okay, so we talked about this on the show. On. When was. When did we do the surge pricing thing? Thursday or Friday last week?
- [46:35]
Justin
I think it was Thursday.
- [46:37]
Hailey Carania
The show's kind of run together. They blur together for me. So if you haven't seen Thursday's or Friday's show, I recommend you go back because it's great content, it's great shows. You shouldn't miss them. But on Thursday or Friday, we covered this surge pricing and surveillance pricing debacle, which is. It was Friday because we talked about all the flock stuff on Friday. So Friday's show. So there is a new phenomenon now that is called surveillance pricing. And that means that depending on where you are in the world, where you are in the country, and what devices you're looking on, I mean, things can cost different prices. I mean, it's just there's. And they use this example on target. Target.com. if everyone just put in what spam costs, it was different. I mean, I tried it. Andrew tried it. Justin tried it. We're all sitting in the same room, and it was costing different prices. So this person was exposing that. And then I saw this, because this is what happens when I do the show and my little surveillance device that. My favorite surveillance device right here is sitting next to me on the seat. Every time I talk about something on the show, then I get fed. I open TikTok again or Instagram, and then I'm getting fed all of these great videos that I'm like, I wish this came up on my free page yesterday. Would have been great for yesterday's show, but it came up today. But it came up today because my phone was sitting there during the show. So I'm gonna talk about surveillance pricing, and then I'm gonna get another video. You know, this is how this works. So anyway, I was talking about the surveillance pricing. Then I got this video about Shake Shack. And apparently this couple claims that if you don't tip, if you choose the no tip option, they're going to charge you more. Watch.
- [48:24]
Justin
My wife says that if you don't tip at Shake Shack, they make it more expensive per item. So we're about to find out.
- [48:32]
Royce White
Let's find out.
- [48:35]
Justin
Order two shakes, just like before.
- [48:38]
Hailey Carania
See, $5.99.
- [48:41]
Guest or Contributor
We got.
- [48:41]
Hailey Carania
Got strawberry.
- [48:45]
Justin
We got Cookies and cream.
- [48:49]
Royce White
Okay, let's see.
- [48:50]
Justin
And we got vanilla.
- [48:57]
Royce White
Card.
- [49:00]
Justin
See that say check out.
- [49:04]
Hailey Carania
And then we say right here.
- [49:07]
Royce White
No.
- [49:10]
Hailey Carania
Oh, there's been a pricing update. I want to more of your card items.
- [49:13]
Guest or Contributor
Please review everything.
- [49:18]
Justin
Everything just went up 50 cents.
- [49:22]
Hailey Carania
Every item went up by 50 cents.
- [49:25]
Justin
Making sure everybody knows do not go there.
- [49:29]
Hailey Carania
They should have done an experiment where they tipped whatever. They tipped something and see if the price went up.
- [49:36]
Justin
Thanks for giving me a reason to go to Shake Shack this weekend. I appreciate it.
- [49:39]
Hailey Carania
I love Shake Shack. I am not playing this video because I want to bash Shake Shack. Shake Shack is one of my favorite fast food places by far. Absolutely love them. Anyway, Shake Shack responded in the comment section saying this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not a Shake Shack policy. And we're currently looking into it with our licensee, HMS Host, that operates the Salt Lake City airport location and kiosk system. But you would think that this is not just happening at the Salt Lake City airport location. If they're using a kiosk like this, wouldn't it happen? Wouldn't the same sort of thing happen all over the place? It's just one airport that's charging people when they don't tip. This needs to be a larger investigation. I think we might have to take the show on the road and find a Shake Shack kiosk. Where is the. Where is the.
- [50:37]
Justin
The Gardens Mall?
- [50:39]
Hailey Carania
Is there one?
- [50:40]
Royce White
Yeah.
- [50:40]
Hailey Carania
Is there a kiosk, though?
- [50:41]
Justin
It's all kiosks. They got rid of the people.
- [50:44]
Hailey Carania
Okay, great. That's awesome.
- [50:47]
Justin
Ah, field trip. This rocks. I can make some returns. We can go walk around the Louis Vuitton store. So many things.
- [50:55]
Hailey Carania
I like them all. I like that idea.
- [50:57]
Justin
Gelato.
- [50:59]
Hailey Carania
What?
- [50:59]
Justin
Gelato. They've got a good gelato spot.
- [51:02]
Hailey Carania
Oh, I thought you meant at Shake Shack. I was like, no, they don't.
- [51:04]
Justin
No, no.
- [51:06]
Hailey Carania
Anyway, they said this. Shake Shack. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not a Shake Shack policy. Okay, so it's not a company policy, but it's obviously happening. They say that they're looking into this. What do you think this is? Is this. People aren't getting tipped. So we're gonna make it tip. We're gonna make you tip. And then how would they. I don't know.
- [51:29]
Justin
I'm in a big conspiracy mood today. I think that there's one guy who set these up and is. Have you seen Office Space?
- [51:37]
Guest or Contributor
Yeah.
- [51:37]
Justin
Movie. I think it's something like that. Somebody's skimming some profits off the no Tippers.
- [51:43]
Hailey Carania
So maybe this is just a singular place, huh?
- [51:46]
Justin
I tip, so I don't know, but we'll find out. We're on the case.
- [51:50]
Hailey Carania
We are gonna go to Shake Shack, and we are not gonna tip.
- [51:52]
Justin
Okay? We're coming tip, and we're eat as many cheese fries as humanly possible.
- [51:57]
Hailey Carania
And then we're gonna order again, and we're gonna tip just to see what we do.
- [52:02]
Justin
Double Shake Shack. I love this idea.
- [52:04]
Hailey Carania
I do, too. I absolutely love Shake Shack. So we'll have to find a time when we're available to go.
- [52:12]
Justin
You had me at Shake Shack.
- [52:13]
Hailey Carania
Okay, sounds good. That sounds good to me. Okay, Last video that I have for you today is going to be a it. We're talking about love. You know, love is love. And it's even better when you get married at McDonald's. Watch this. The groom's waiting.
- [52:39]
Justin
It's red tie, crazy.
- [52:45]
Hailey Carania
Amaze me. Okay, bridesmaids are walking around. Just wait for it. The bride's coming. I don't know who that is. Everyone's dressed in, like, a pseudo McDonald's uniform. So weird. All right, bride's coming. Brace yourself. Oh, sorry, flower girl with the petals in the McDonald's box. Ever. Wait for it, Wait for it. Do you think they closed down the location for this? Here's the bride. Here comes the bride. Do you have to be a McDonald's super fan to do this

or work there? But this rocks. I was just going to say this rocks so much.
- [53:56]
Hailey Carania
Or an employee.
- [53:59]
Justin
We are gathered here today to witness the union.
- [54:03]
Hailey Carania
We. Yeah, we don't have to get into the whole wedding, but this rocks. I listen, you got to do what makes you happy.
- [54:12]
Justin
Sure. Wedding affordable. You love McDonald's. This rocks.
- [54:16]
Hailey Carania
People say, you know, it is your day. What do you want to eat? What do you want to have? What's the venue? I mean, if you are a McDonald's super fan, this is perfect for you. So I tried to look into official wedding packages at McDonald's. They don't offer them in the United States. They only offer them in Hong Kong and Indonesia. And based on this video, I don't think it happened in either one of those locations. This looks like it happened. Well, I don't know where.
- [54:45]
Justin
Some rural town in middle America. So this rocks. I seriously do what makes you happy. Not harming anybody. This rocks. This is so awesome.

Hailey Carania
McDonald's has some catering options if you want McDonald's catered to your wedding. But in the United States, you cannot have a McDonald's venue as your venue you can't like rent out a McDonald's for your wedding. You could rent out a room for a birthday party. But birthday party is the only option that they have now in Hong Kong. In 2011 they, they unveiled a warm and sweet wedding package and 15 locations in Hong Kong offered it. And packages included a two hour restaurant rental ceremony, food, decorations, branded invitations and gifts, and MC balloon elements and a cake made of stacked apple pies. And pricing was ranged roughly from about 350 to 1300 dollars US dollars. That's cheap.

Justin
I mean I'm saying you could go on a sick honeymoon, get married at McDonald's.
- [55:57]
Hailey Carania
Yeah, and that's for 50 guests.
- [56:01]
Justin
Love McDonald's. I'm impressed that they didn't have the fryer noise going off in the back of the wedding too. They, they were on it or like
- [56:08]
Hailey Carania
that, that ringing noise. It's like constantly. Yeah, all those. Then in Indonesia they have more catering focused packages. I, I just did on this, this research so I figured I'd share it with you again. These catering packages start around $230 to $270. And you could get a hundred burgers, a hundred nuggets, and that's a great price. A hundred burgers and a hundred nuggets for $230 might do that.

Justin
This Friday, who needs to get married?
- [56:43]
Hailey Carania
Let's have a wedding. When I went to college, we had a senior year event that was mock wedding. Did you have a mock wedding in your at school?
- [56:53]
Justin
You're gonna have to elaborate on this one.
- [56:54]
Hailey Carania
I didn't know if this was done elsewhere. I'm sure other colleges do it, but senior year Fairfield University is very serious about their mock wedding. We essentially elect a bride, a groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, a, an officiant, and it's like the craziest people in your class. It's not like people who are dating, it's like the most random people to make it funny. Like the whole thing is supposed to be funny. The bridesmaids aren't friends. I mean maybe they are like, it's all just like the craziest, drunkest, weirdest people in your class are getting married and they're at a wedding party. And what we do or what we did is we would rent a venue. The venue thought it was a wedding. This was like before wedding culture got totally out of control because we wouldn't be able to afford it. But we rented out a venue, like a real wedding venue. We had sit down meal, like it was legit. We had dancing, everything we had bachelor and Bach. Bachelor and bachelorette parties the night before. It was so fun.
- [58:03]
Justin
That is fun. That's cool.
- [58:05]
Hailey Carania
And it wasn't McDonald's. Like, we didn't chintz out and do McDonald's. I mean, we went to a real venue.
- [58:09]
Justin
Was this sorority fraternity?
- [58:12]
Hailey Carania
No, I went to Jesuit school. We did not have Greek life, so
- [58:15]
Justin
it was just, like, the campus life. We had Mr. Charming.
- [58:19]
Hailey Carania
What's that?
- [58:20]
Justin
So it was like a. A game show, and each Dorm picked a Mr. Charming to represent them. And you did, like, a. A game show. Esque. To win Mr. Charming. It was pretty cool. I got nominated.
- [58:36]
Hailey Carania
I don't understand. What does Mr. Charming do?
- [58:38]
Justin
Mr. Charming. Just the most charming person in on campus.
- [58:42]
Hailey Carania
That's nice.
- [58:43]
Justin
I also have a preference. Yeah, they. They. They came to me and said, the other guy dropped out, and we can't find somebody in time. Would you mind doing it? So it wasn't a pure of heart
- [58:51]
Hailey Carania
Mr. Charming, but you're semi charming.
- [58:53]
Justin
Yeah, I'm okay.
- [58:53]
Royce White

- [58:54]
Hailey Carania
I like that.
- [58:55]
Justin
Sang a little song, did a little dance.
- [58:56]
Hailey Carania
Well, if I reminisce about college anymore, I'll start crying. So we're gonna end the show here. Thank you for. Thank you for. Justin's not far enough out of college to understand the sadness that comes with not being in college anymore.
- [59:11]
Justin
He's not in college anymore?
- [59:13]
Hailey Carania
No,
- [59:15]

Hailey Carania
Justin's no longer the intern.
- [59:18]
Justin
Wow. All right. That's cool.
- [59:21]
Hailey Carania
Anyway, I'm joking. I'm not gonna cry.
- [59:22]
Justin
The one thing Justin does have is hair, though, because we're all losing it.
- [59:26]
Hailey Carania
I'm not losing it.
- [59:27]
Justin
Yeah, I'm good. Don't. Don't loop us all into that.
- [59:30]
Hailey Carania
I'm gaining hair because I pay for it. Actually, if you. You can actually gain hair if you pay for it. Men, too.
- [59:39]
Justin
Turkey's a cheese.
- [59:39]
Hailey Carania
Also, did you see Trump got thicker flow recently? Have you seen that?
- [59:44]
Justin
They did it, like, one time, and they're like, that's enough of that. We got to go back.
- [59:48]
Hailey Carania
Yeah. I don't know what he got done or if he got a toupee or something, but he is definitely flowing, and I like that for him.
- [59:54]
Justin
Makes him look younger. Nothing like a president with a little bit of lettuce, you know?
- [59:58]
Hailey Carania
I love it. I love it. On that note, you can follow me on social media, aileycarania, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow.

Justin
Bye.

Clay Travis
my job to sit here and, like, try to stir you up for clicks. I think I've been very level headed. I've had to tell people a lot of things they didn't want to hear. So let me tie together into a bullet point storyline. This information warfare against your mind is very real. Be careful where you're getting your information. Do not gaff this off. Telling you like this is why I've been so passionate. This stuff is real. Now does it make sense?

Hailey Carania
