Don Lemon for President?! - Scrolling w/ Hayley (Ep. 269)

Hello and welcome to scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Caronea. Don Lemon thinks he's going to make a good president of the United States. Even better than Donald J. Trump. Time for a reality check. Then Chick-fil-A fired eight employees for lude dancing on the job. We're going to show you the videos. You can decide if you think that this is inappropriate or not. And actually these employees were reinstated. So it's quite the story. Plus Reese's Peter Butter Cups are getting a maha makeover and so much more. If you are watching the show live right now, copy the link and send it to a friend right now. Then put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. So on Sunday's episode of Pod Save America, Don Lemon teased the idea of running for president. And I saw this on X yesterday morning and it was posted at five a.m. or something. So I thought, surely this is an April Fool's joke, which is why I hesitated to cover it yesterday because I thought, well, let me just let this simmer and make sure that it's legit before I weigh in. Surely Don Lemon can't be that out of touch. Well, I'll be damned that SOB is indeed that out of touch. Listen. Pay cut. But it's not about money for me. So do I ever think about it? Yes. Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen. If the opportunity presented itself, the right opportunity presented itself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I'm crazy. This is going to be the headline and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be president of United States. I could definitely run this country better than than than Donald Trump. And a towel roll could. But yes, you would market improvement. A towel roll could run. The press could be the president of the United States. I don't know why people would listen to this podcast, but OK. Don Lemon is beyond delusional. He is narcissistic on a level on a level I really haven't seen before. And in that clip, he says he could run for president. It's not about the money. He says he could run for president. He would have enough support to win. And he thinks he could do a better job than Donald Trump. Donald Trump, the guy who won the presidency twice, despite all the odds, won every swing state, won the electoral college, the popular vote. Don Lemon is wildly overestimating his popularity. But the Democrats don't have a DEI hire right now to run for president. They don't even have any other options. Really? I mean, Kamala Harris was a total failure. She and she was the trifecta, right? She was Jamaican and Indian, black, whatever. They needed her to be. She would be, of course, she was a woman. So she was great, a great DEI hire, if you will. Hillary Clinton, you know, she could have been the first woman. No one likes her. So they're running out of options here. And Pete Buttigieg, total failure. Nobody likes him. You know, all these polls and not that we believe the polls, but he's so far gone. People don't like him. He's got nothing. He's got no spark. People people aren't going to rally behind him. So unfortunately, the Democrats are in this situation now where Gavin Newsom seems to be their only hope. And that's that's a bad thing for the Democrat Party, because he's a straight white man. So I think that Don Lemon might be soft launching this, just throwing it out on Pod Save America, hoping that someone from the DNC comes and saves him from obscurity. They'll just like pluck him out from his little podcast that he's doing and say, you're our you are our only hope. And, you know, he's really everything that the Democrats could hope for because he's black and gay. Michelle Obama has even said that she doesn't think Americans are ready to vote for a woman. I disagree. I think if the woman is in, you know, bleach bidding her hard drive and smashing her to 30,000 emails and, you know, she isn't falling out of a coconut tree, I think Americans could be convinced to vote for a woman who's not a total libtard. But whatever, Michelle Obama thinks that women aren't the way to go. And honestly, the last two women that the Democrats have run, they were just horrible candidates, so they haven't been successful. So I think they're they're course correcting, right? They saw Jasmine Crockett fall on her face in Texas. They went for James Tellerico instead. And I think they're thinking, all right, you know, Gavin Newsom is the way to go. Maybe Don Lemon might be a running mate. This is I'm like giddy thinking about it just because I think it would be funny. But, you know, he's black, he's gay, and then he can claim and they can run on this. They can make a huge thing about how he was targeted, unfairly targeted by the Trump DOJ. You know, because he thinks he was just being a journalist. When everyone else in the world saw that he was rightfully arrested for, you know, conspiracy to deprive individual rights and interfering with religious freedom. But here he goes talking about how he would have to pick sides if he ran for president and he's just such a moderate, such an independent. Listen to this as an independent, though, there would be a hard time for me to run for anything because, you know, the way the system is set up, I'd have to choose a side. And so, you know, I probably I probably would have to become a Democrat. And probably. Yeah. So, you know, am I at the point that point now? No. And I know people are going to say Don Lemon is crazy. But yeah, that's look. Why can't I think about running for office? Why can't I think about being president of the United States? Oh, darn it. I have to pick sides. Darn it. I have to become a Democrat. I think I'm going to have to become a Democrat. He's not an independent. He's an independent and name only, maybe. I would highly doubt that he'd be super torn up about having to identify as a Democrat. He is a Democrat. He's been a Democrat will always be a Democrat. So here's just a montage. I just put, you know, a few clips together, examples of Don Lemon being a lib. You tell me what side of the aisle you think this guy stands on. I think that you can be a rational, maga, be black and be a rational, maga person. I think you can be black and be a Republican. I think they would find that very insulting. Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting. White men. Something is broken. Something is cracked deep inside. When so many of you believe the answer to fear, to loss, to change is violence. Donald Trump is a liar. I don't need to. I don't need to explain that to you guys. You guys know the only people who don't know is a cult who follows him. People are just now ready to say, fuck Trump. F you. I think people are tired of being respectable and like, you know, going high when they go low. Oh, my God. And I think it's perfectly OK. Like sometimes you just have to say, I'm fed up. This is some bullshit. So F him. Fuck him. I'm sick of this shit. All right. What side do we think he's on? Do we think this is a moderate, independent person? Seems pretty neutral. He seems very neutral, very levelheaded, normal, doesn't seem to be triggered by anything or anyone who might be, you know, in the office right now. He just seems very levelheaded, you know, open to both sides. And yeah, I don't think he would do very well if he ran as an independent for the obvious obvious reasons. And I think there is truth to what Don Lemon is saying. I mean, you do have to pick sides. Anyone who runs as an independent just gets walloped because, you know, we've got the DNC and the RNC and all the money and everything. I mean, there is this system that, you know, falls into place and everyone kind of just has to fall into line basically if they want to win or have a chance of winning. So he is right on that. But yeah, for him to even, well, I guess I'd have to be a Democrat. Okay. I think you'd be all right with that. And, you know, he's obsessed with sex and gender and race and color and Trump. So he'd be perfect for them, really. And even more deranged than saying that he would run the country better than Trump, which he can't is Don Lemon saying he'd be really great at running a news network. Watch. Do you know what else I think that I could run better than most people? And I was talking, actually talked to my husband about that last night. A news organ, a news organization because I was there. I've been in the game for so long and I'm not interested in being, you know, the anchor out front. I could come in and fix the bulk of their problems and lickety split in no time flat. Lickety split. Don Lemon could just go into a news network and fix all their problems, clean it all up. He's got all the answers. He's the perfect journalist as we've all seen in the last few months. He's just the perfect journalist. Also, he says he's not interested in being an anchor anymore, but he could run the show and pull the strings, fix all the problems. I mean, this is revisionist history because when he was fired from his anchoring job at CNN in 2023, he said he was totally blindsided. So it's not like he left on his own accord because he wanted to do the independent podcast thing. And then he says he's cut out to run a network and he's getting schooled by people when he does these man on the street interviews. I don't know if you've seen these videos. I didn't want to pull too many clips of Don Lemon for the show today, just to save everyone. But yeah, he was interviewing some guy on the street about Iran and this guy is like, yeah, I am fully supportive of Trump because, you know, I grew up in this regime and it's horrible and blah, blah, blah. And Don Lemon is just sitting there dumbfounded. Like he just gets schooled by people. And, you know, he was talking to this, um, he was in Times Square. I, this was maybe recent, I don't know. And he's talking about, oh, Trump with this, with this like black guy. And he's like, yeah, I'm a full Trump supporter. And he just keeps getting in these situations where he thinks he's going to like get the gold sound bite and it's just not exactly what he hoped for. It's the exact opposite. And he obviously wants to be the star of the show. He's got his own podcast. He definitely does want to be the anchor. He's still doing man on the street interviews. He definitely wants to make content. He's wearing lemon head, lemon nation hats. Like he's, he definitely wants to be the star of the show. And if he wants to be running a network, then he would certainly need to brush up on what journalism really is because he claims he would be good at it. But this is Don Lemon talking about why CNN wasn't successful and why telling the truth won't help them. I also think mistakenly that they're going to gain an audience by trying to move a network into a certain direction. And these days it's to move it to the right because they believe that that audience is going to come to them because speaking to Kevin O'Leary the other night. And he said, well, CNN has to, they've got to come to the middles to gain more audience. I was like, you're out of your mind. That's never going to happen. Are you crazy? I was like, those folks are never, ever going to watch CNN and they're never going to watch any network that is a factual news organization. So that's never going to happen. He just said the quiet part out loud. I think I'd prefer my news to be factual. Also, shouldn't the news, shouldn't a news network be in the middle? That's the, that's the point. And that's what Kevin O'Leary was saying to him in that, in that conversation that they were having. Yes, CNN is going to have to move closer to the middle because they're far left over here and it's not the answer to be far right over here either. I mean, if you are in the business of telling the truth, then you should tell both sides and to do that, you meet in the middle and you just tell the straight facts and CNN is not doing that. And Don Lemon says, yeah, but the audience doesn't want that. And I agree. I don't think the audience wants the truth. I think audiences on both left and right want to be told what they want to be told. They don't even want to be challenged even anymore. They just go to their silo where they get, they go into their echo chamber and they hear exactly their own viewpoints paraded back at them. And they like that. And they don't want to be challenged. They don't want to have a debate. They don't want to have conversation. And I think, you know, a little bit, Don Lemon is right. That is the crux of the CNN viewership. They don't want to be told the truth. But I think it's funny that he left that network and then started telling the truth as soon as he left. He started saying, yeah, those people, those viewers, they don't, they don't want to hear the truth. So he pretty much admitted that when he was there, he was lying, which we know. But yeah, and those are the viewers that, you know, those CNN viewers, I would say, and I would argue that those are his viewers now. Those are the viewers that watch his podcast probably. And those are the, those would be his voters if he ran for president. And he thinks they're so misinformed that they don't care about the truth. But here's really exhibit A as to why Don would not make a good network boss. This was his idea of good old boots on the ground journalism. Watch. These are resistance protesters. They're planning an operation that we're going to follow them on. I can't tell you exactly what they're doing, but it's called Operation Pull Up. Why not? And it's the Kima Armstrong and she has been doing this since George Floyd, Dante Wright and others where they surprise people, catch them off guard and hold them to account. And so that's what we're doing here. And then we're after that, after we do this operation, you'll see it live. And these, these operations are surprise operations. Again, you can't tell you where. You know, it's funny. I'm kind of realizing this now as I've seen this clip so many times, right? We obviously covered it when it happened and watching it back. I'm realizing that he's like, I can't tell you what they're doing. Isn't that the purpose of covering it? The ops were out there and he had to whisper and make sure they didn't know. Well, you know, they're planning something and I'm in on it, but I can't tell you what's going on. Isn't that why you're out there to tell us all what's going on and what they're doing? No, he didn't want to screw up the operation. We want to be part of what you're doing. You're dying to know. We're dying to know. Tell us, tell us. Yeah. So he's talking about these protesters as if he's with them because he is. He said, we are going on a mission. We, he said the word we, after we get done here, we're going to go here and we are going to get into people's faces and hold them to account. Interrupting a church service and halting that service and scaring away worshipers is not journalism. And yet Don Lemon thinks he's got what it takes to run a network. And a country. So good luck. I do want to talk about Tiger Woods. Um, I haven't talked about it on the show yet, but it's sort of been all over the internet these days. And I posted on X, right? When this happened, I saw the headline come out, you know, Tiger Woods in a crash and he's, he's not new to this. He's, he's crashed before. And, uh, just once or twice or four times. But when I saw the headline, I honestly, I just thought, Oh my gosh, he was in a crash and the last one was so bad and he was so hurt. That I posted, we should put Tiger in some bubble wrap. And I posted that before, you know, the DUI, the pills, like all that. And I was like, Oh, anyway, here we go. So Tiger Woods, he's got a great track record when it comes to driving the ball. Not so much driving his car. These are four car crashes. Honestly, that we know of, not that I think he could get away with crashing and us not finding out, but you don't know what's happening in parking lots. I would not put it past him to like side swipe someone in a parking lot and just this guy, I think he's driving under the influence. I would assume more often than, than what we're seeing. These are just the times that he's not getting away with it. You would hope that that's not the case, but yeah, the track record is not good. So, you know, in 2009, we all remember this when he crashed his escalate into a fire hydrant, then he crashed it into a tree outside of his house. This was in the morning. And then his wife at the time came out, he was breaking the car window with the golf club and that was apparently to break him out of the car or get him out of the car. I think it's because he was cheating. And that's, I think what the consensus is. And that's how I remember the story. And at that time he was cited for careless driving. No charges were pressed. Now there is some, some revision, not like revisionist history, but people look back on that moment. And I think for millennials, and I'm a millennial, when you were a kid at that time, when you see these news headlines and stuff, it seems bigger than it really is. I thought the Tiger Woods was guilty of something much, much worse than driving into a tree in front of his house. I remember this being much bigger drama. And maybe this is just when you're a kid, you're sort of susceptible to this like media hyper, you know, fixation on a story and this sensationalism. But yeah, this, I'm not alone. There are other people that have tiger trauma. Listen, but him cheating on that white wife. I remember he crashed a car or something. It just was so scandalous. I remember I was young. I don't remember what year this was, but I do remember I was young and I was watching it like he's going to jail. I thought he was going to jail. That's how that's how insane. Like if you were not there lifetime, I thought that cheating was illegal. When that happened, I said, oh my God, he's going down. Guantanamo Bay. I ain't gonna lie. When I was younger, I always thought Tiger Woods killed somebody. Hold on. This nigga was just a serial cheater. I remember being a kid, watching the Tiger Woods documentaries and seeing they was looking at his medical records, looking at all his information, his history, who he was cool with, who he wasn't cool with. They damn they had an investigation crime scene at his crib. I'm thinking Tiger Woods them pulled off some mean ass. OJ shit. I'm like, how the fuck is this nigga still free? Tiger Woods. What did you do? Hey, I might think I'm joking, but I'm dead ass. I thought I thought Tiger Woods was on some Melendez brothers, some Aaron Hernandez. I agree. I remember this being such a huge deal, a much bigger deal. And I really do think that cheating should be illegal. Like throw people in jail, throw cheaters in jail. Shout out to that guy for having a grandfather clock where he was. I think that was just a sound effect. Like I think that was just music. I don't think so. Really? I don't think so. Anyway, then in 2017, this was the, no, this wasn't even the worst one. 2021 was the worst one in 2017. He passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes. This was at three AM. He likes driving in the morning. Okay. He likes long drives. At that point, he was arrested on DUI charges and he had multiple prescription drugs in his system and he pleaded guilty and had those charges dropped dropped and he went on probation. Then in 2021, this was the serious rollover crash in California. And he's got different cars. Like obviously he's got to get different cards. He keeps totaling them and not that he can't afford it, but this is a very expensive little hobby he has of flipping his cars over. So he was going, you know, almost 90 miles per hour and a 45. He struck a median. He struck trees. He rolled over multiple times. And this is when he suffered multiple injuries to his legs, his ankle. He had to get surgery, put rods and screws in his legs. And all that again, no impairment charges were filed. It was just, they claimed that this was just, you know, excessive speed. And he lost control of the car. I guess. And now most recently, March 27th, 2026 in Jupiter, where he lives, was involved in another rollover crash. And he was trying to pass on a narrow two lane road and the SUV turned over. He was not seriously injured, but he blew zeros. He was not drunk. However, he had pills in his pocket. So this was his second DUI related arrest. And at this point, people are fed up. People don't really have a tolerance for drinking and driving in this day and age or taking pills and driving with all of the resources that normal people have. Like if I am drinking, I am not going to drive. I'll just get an Uber. And if I can do it, I know Tiger Woods can do it, especially if you're Tiger Woods. Come on. If you could afford to flip your cars over and buy new ones, you could afford a driver. And this is what Dave Portnoy had to say. And I just have to say, I agree with everything. Listen, I don't care if he's abusing pills. I don't care if he's got an abuse problem, alcohol problem, a drug problem, a banging blonde problem. I don't care about any of those problems. But you can have somebody drive you. Yeah. I mean, he's rich, rich, rich, right. You, he should have a driver with him wherever he goes. There is no excuse. It's not hard. Just have somebody with you at all times who is driving. Totally agree. And you might be wondering why then if everyone agrees that Tiger Woods should just get a driver, he could certainly afford one. Then why wouldn't he have one? Well, here's the headline that says this is why he's refusing to hire a driver despite these latest DUI arrests. And it says sources say the 15 time major champion doesn't want anyone tracking his movements or knowing his whereabouts at all times. Yeah, dog. Every time you wreck your car, we know where you're at. We know exactly where you're at. And the entire world knows that you just flipped your car over again. And if you're cheap, let me just say, because maybe it's not so much about his security. And I think that there's something to that, which I'll get to in a minute. But even if it's cheaper to buy an Uber, it is cheaper to pay a driver and probably have him on full staff than it is to flip your car over, legal fees, get the new car every few years, like, hello, get help, get help. And then get a driver. It's really not that hard. And he insists that he is perfectly capable on driving himself. Clearly he is not. And I can understand, you know, you're famous. People are going to know where you live. They're going to find out where you go. You know, Tiger, doesn't he have a restaurant in Palm Beach or in Jupiter? Like people are going to probably, if they want to see him out and bother him and be annoying, which I'm sure people do, they're going to know that he might be there or might be around town. And people are just going to, that's the name of the game. And it sucks. People are going to stalk you and that sucks. But you can't drive on pills because you don't want to be stalked by people. Hire a driver, make him sign an NDA that he can't tell you, you know, he can't tell people where he's dropping you off or like where you live. I'm sure people already know where he lives, but it is not worth it to put yourself in harm's way. And most importantly, everyone else on the road, it's so selfish. You want to drive yourself everywhere, then get help and stay sober. Those are the two options. Alcoholism, drug addiction, it's a disease. It is hard to overcome. People try, they fail, they relapse, they try again, they fail. If you were in the process of getting better, hire a driver or car pool with a trusted friend or family member. If he's so concerned about his safety, he doesn't want people to know where he lives or where he's going. Have a friend that you're, I can't imagine he's going out all alone all the time. Right? Unless he is, I don't know. Does he just go out drinking alone? I don't know. I don't know what he's up to. But I'm assuming if he's meeting someone for dinner, can you say to that person, hey, could you drop me off or a family member? Hey, I have a dinner. Could you pick me up? I don't know. Or if you are totally sober, then you can drive yourself. Those are the only options. There are those are the only options. Everyone agrees. Everyone agrees. I mean, he swings a driver great. He just doesn't drive very well. He doesn't do too well behind the wheel. No, no, he doesn't. I saw there was this joke online. People are saying a lion wouldn't flip their tiger. A lion wouldn't flip their car over, but a tiger would. A lion wouldn't roll their car over or get a DUI, but a tiger would.

I can't wait to get into this section of the show because this is just a little tease. But we have a taste test here that I'm going to do later. So stay tuned. We're going to get on a sugar high on the show. But let's get into the Chick-fil-A first. So eight Chick-fil-A employees, they were fired after they posted this video. Watch. Oh, oh, oh, it's just a lot of bound. If you're listening for my people listening to the podcast today, just just picture some boobies jiggling. That's really all. That's really all it is. Just bouncing and jiggling. OK, so apparently this went very, very viral, like millions of views viral and these employees were let go. So here's one of the employees who orchestrated this entire video. And here's what he had to say. Watch. We got fired. Every single last one of us got fired. I'm going to tell you how I made the video, how the thought process of the video came up. Before I made the video, I asked, I said, Hey, I'm about to make this video real quick. If you want to be in it, let me know. If you don't want to be in it, let me know. All I need y'all to do and I showed them what I wanted them to do. I said, bounce your chest. I'm a boy. I don't really have to. I have to work harder to bounce my chest than a girl. Girls have titties. I have to extra, you know, I'm a little bit. I like how you explain this part of the video. No, we get that. That's the side point. It wasn't that serious. This is what I'm trying to say. It wasn't a serious. First of all, our location isn't even like an actual Chick-fil-A. We barely have anything on our menu. If you pull up to our location, I'm not going to say where it's at, but if you scroll down on my page, you'll see where I'm located. And you walk into our Chick-fil-A, you'll see that we don't have much on the menu. Our Chick-fil-A doesn't even take gift cards. We don't do that. Our Chick-fil-A doesn't even take cash. We don't do that. So therefore we can shake our ass. And saying all this just to let y'all know that this is not an actual Chick-fil-A. It's a Chick-fil-A, but it's not a real deal Chick-fil-A. If you get what I'm trying to say. It could have been just the simple fact that it was the whole crew doing the same thing. And maybe I did do a little bit too much when I turned around and I shook my back because nothing, but back and fat was moving. No ass. Okay. None. If he had asked to shake, we wouldn't be having this conversation. My eyes right now. That is obviously the problem. The problem is that he didn't shake his butt enough. That's exactly. Corporate got together in a boardroom and we were like, all right, we need to take a look at this and start replay. Listen, if you're going to shake your butt, don't embarrass us. Don't embarrass us. This definitely advances Chick-fil-A's brand. Right. So obviously, you know, this isn't good for the brand to your point. And Chick-fil-A said, yeah, we're not, we're not going to be doing this here, which I understand. And apparently, according to that video, well, he was, you pointed out that he's eating Chick-fil-A while talking about getting fired from Chick-fil-A. Unbranded, very smart. Yep. Well, no, he was drinking out of the cup in some of the parts of the video. But he was fired on Sunday. You know what that means. People are working on Sundays. They are working on Sundays. They may not be open, but it is not a day of rest. Confirmed because he got fired on a Sunday. Anyway, eating the Chick-fil-A. And I was thinking, because I'm seeing, I'm looking and I'm like, those are Chick-fil-A fries. Those are Chick-fil-A fries. I wonder if he went to a different location to pick those up. Or do you think that he went to the location that he got fired from? And then who was working if they fired everyone? I guess they have more than eight employees, but they fired all the eight in that video. B team. Yeah. The B team, the, the JV team came in to. And they were like under no circumstances. You shake your ass on this shift. No ass shaking on the shift. And in the comments, everyone is supportive of the crew that got fired. No one was supportive of the firing, which is just crazy to see. And today's day and age, you know, people make TikToks at work. They go viral as, you know, this one did. And sometimes it looks good on the company. Sometimes it doesn't. And in this case, you have a conservative parent company firing employees for making a TikTok that is sexual in nature at work. And these people are old enough to know not to do that. And they did it anyway. Companies are well within their rights to not allow employees to make social media videos for their personal pages on the property, unless these were social media managers for Chick-fil-A. And I, I think it's safe to say that these are not. You keep your personal phone and your social media away until work is over, depending on the situation. They claimed that the restaurant was closed so no customers were there. They were like, okay, no one was there to see it. Okay. But then you posted it on social media and millions of people saw it. So anyway, people do do this though. And I think that this is sort of what they were hoping for. They wanted to go viral for dancing on the job, like these McDonald's employees. Are you all entertained today? So that woman was those employees at McDonald's were not fired for this. She actually posted on her account because I went back to check and she quit three years later. So she posted these videos went viral for dancing at work and the company had no problem with it, probably because she's a good dancer. So maybe that had something to do with it. Again, to that guy's point, maybe he was a little better at it. He wouldn't have gotten fired. Um, so I think these Chick-fil-A workers saw similar videos go viral and thought, we'll just, you know, we'll dance on the job with no consequences. And that wasn't the case. Um, I hope these people have two brown, the tail of two brands. Yes, exactly. Um, exactly. But they Chick-fil-A has not put out a, an official statement. Um, and maybe that is because this is not a real Chick-fil-A like he was explaining. Andrew, do you want to explain why this is not a real Chick-fil-A? Here's my theory at the college I went to show yourself. So people know who's, who's talking voice of God explaining Chick-fil-A fake Chick-fil-A sub Chick-fil-A's. All right. Basically the school cafeteria, like sub leases the name of Chick-fil-A and they run it locally. So they have all the Chick-fil-A offerings, but it's managed by the on site food. Uh, people, right. Like a college food company. Correct. So I think that's the, the theory that I'm going with. So then he posted on social media that he was actually reinstated. He got his job back. Watch this. Guess who got they job back. And he's back shaking his butt. No lesson learned. No lesson learned everyone. No lesson learned. So anyway, he's back, but the, there's, there's a lot of good happening at Chick-fil-A, maybe not that one fake Chick-fil-A location, but there is a lot of good happening at Chick-fil-A. Of course they're known for their great service. They are known for a happy faces, fast service. And they really are a well-oiled machine. And I think a lot of people are upset that they're not open on Sundays because they want more Chick-fil-A. It's good quality food. And again, they get it fast and everyone's very nice. It's a, it's a good fast food experience in my opinion. And this one Chick-fil-A, or actually now a few Chick-fil-As in Georgia, they have created a cell phone coop. So Brad Williams is, he owns two Chick-fil-A locations in Georgia. And he started this trend where it's a box that sits on every table in his restaurant. And if diners put their phones in that coop while they're eating for the entire time, if the phones stay in the box, the entire meal, diners get to get a free ice cream dessert. So it encourages people to turn your phones off, phones off, friends on. That's what my friends in college used to say. We would go to dinner, put your phones in the middle of the table, phones off, friends on. It's nice to have IRL experiences, dining experiences. No one wants to go to dinner and, and be across from the table from someone like this, rude. So I think this is great. And especially as someone with a phone addiction, I am severely addicted to my phone, but I know to, if I'm out with someone, you know, out to dinner, I'm, I'm not touching my phone. So unless they go to the bathroom, then I'm like, I'm like a drug addict. I'm taking my phone out. I'm checking my notifications. But I think it's rude. And I think that this is such a wonderful thing to start. I think it's a, it's a cool trend. And he started doing this in mid January with just his two restaurants. And since then, 10,000 coups have been made. And there are 200 Chick-fil-A locations that are also implementing this kind of phone coup idea where people want to create a, a phoneless dining experience. And he thinks, you know, this guy, Brad Williams is saying that he hopes that this creates, it's not just a trend, but he hopes that people really stick to it and, and people start to create a no cell phone zone where we're going to place the, the conversation over, or phone scrolling. And I think that that's great. So maybe this is hard for people, but I think that it's, it's good to train, especially, I feel like families take their kids there. And it's good to show your kids that, um, we shouldn't be on our phones at the table and, you know, people, I think just stick iPads in front of their kids now because they take them to a restaurant and they want them to shut up and act right. So then they think, you know, if they're distracted by this game on my phone or this iPad, then at least they'll act right in public. But I think this is a good way to teach your kids that you can act right in public without staring at a screen. I think we need to bring that back. But let's get into this candy business because Kit Kat needs our help. We already told you that 12 billion Kit Kats were stolen. They were stolen. And again, it seems like a gimmick, right? It's around April Fools. The company has come out and said, no, this was not an April Fool joke. This is not a gimmick to, to make you buy more Kit Kats. No, these 12 tons of Kit Kats were actually stolen in Europe from Poland, Italy, somewhere in between Poland and Italy. Someone really stole, uh, 12 tons of Kit Kats and they do really want to know where they all went. So they've created a stolen Kit Kat tracker that lets you check if your Kit Kat is one of the stolen Kit Kats. So. Shall we? Did it make it to the States? Did it? I mean, I feel like that would be very difficult, but we've got my, my, what is, oh, I'm checking this barcode here. This could be evidence. Yeah. Just read me, read me the barcode and we'll put it in and see what's up. The actual barcode. I know there's a lot of numbers that you can only put numbers in. So like the actual barcode number. Like this number, right? Indeed. Okay. Uh, zero, three, four, two, four, six, zero. Please hold. All right. Little drum roll here. Do, wait, do you think it's stolen? No, because how would, I feel like if the, the people who stole it got the candy all the way to the United States, they'd be able to check it. Right? I mean, you don't just, unless Kit Kat, you know, huge truckloads of Kit Kats are jumping the border. I feel like we would notice that. Especially if, especially, oh, this Kit Kat wasn't stolen. Keep searching and help us widen the search by sharing. Okay. Kit Kat, if I must go buy more Kit Kats here, here is a, a good question for everyone. How do you eat your Kit Kats? Do you break it apart or do you just eat it like a serial killer? You all know where I stand. You have to break it apart and eat one by one. Right? Is that how you do it? Or do you just bite into it like a crazy person? I don't like the chocolate on my fingers. So I eat it out of the wrapper unbroken. That's crazy. I'm on your side, Hailey. Come on. Why, why would there be perforations in it? If not. I also drink chips. Like I'm a bad test subject. I've got a thing with stuff on my hands. Wait, you what? Like if I get a small bag of chips, I'll crush them up and like pour them into my mouth. I don't like the stuff on my fingers. You need to eat your chips with chopsticks. Andrew is an odd specimen. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, I know I'm in the minority. I get it. Well, that tasted good. I will say. The chocolate's kind of like gooey. That's not how it's supposed to be described. I know. And we are going to get into this because in other chocolatey news, Hershey is making some maha updates to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups after Brad Reese, the grandson of H.B. Reese, who invented the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, penned an open letter to Hershey's, the parent company. So this is a letter that Brad Reese posted on LinkedIn. Open letter to Todd Scott saying this. My grandfather H.B. Reese, who invented Reese's, built Reese's on a simple, enduring architecture, milk chocolate and peanut butter. Not a flavor idea, not a marketing construct, a real tangible product identity that customers and consumers have trusted for a century. But today Reese's identity is being rewritten, not by storytellers, but by formulation decisions that replace milk chocolate with compound coatings and peanut butter with peanut butter style creams across multiple Reese's products. How does the Hershey company continue to position Reese's as its flagship brand, a symbol of trust, quality and leadership, while quietly replacing the very ingredients, milk chocolate and peanut butter that built Reese's trust in the first place? Amen. Make America great again. Make chocolate great again. Make every make peanut butter cups, peanut butter again. I agree. I agree. And he goes on. It's about whether Reese's, the world's number one chocolate brand is being protected or diluted. So I'll throw this out to the chat. If I have any candy lovers in the chat, any Reese's peanut butter cups lovers in the chat, I will say Reese's peanut, peanut, Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite candy. I will say I haven't had them in a long time because I really don't eat chocolate that much. I try not to eat this stuff, but if I had a choice, this would be my top choice. And people were saying online that they have been noticing a difference in how Reese's tastes. So this has been going on for years because I remember when I was working at Newsmax, one of my colleagues, my coworkers, he would order boxes of Reese's from the factory. I don't know how he did that, but he would get like a big box and they did taste different. It was almost more fresh or something. He got it straight from the factory instead of, you know, the distribution of to the stores, sitting on the shelves, whatever. And they were very good. And other people online have started to take notice that Reese's tastes different. Watch this. Has anybody else noticed that Reese's peanut butter cups taste nasty now? I was dipping into my kid's Halloween candy and figured I'd go for one and it tasted like straight chemicals. And I swear they didn't use to taste like that. Now I understand they are indeed chock full of chemicals. So it makes sense, but I could swear they didn't use to taste that nasty. Okay. I just saw somebody say, why do Reese's peanut butter cups taste disgusting? I thought it was just me. They're inedible. I can't even eat a Reese's peanut butter cup. All right. We'll all be the judge of that. Show the poll. Wait, show the bottom. How'd you do? Wow. Pretty perfect. Pretty perfect. Yeah, but maybe that's because it's not real chocolate anymore. Like maybe the coating doesn't get stuck to the bottom anymore. Ever thought of that? It's that compound chocolate. Yeah. There's like, there's probably plastic in it or something. I'm just, this is my morning micro dose of micro plastics. Okay. According to compound chocolate, it has cocoa, vegetable fat and sweeteners. Ew. I'm glad producer Josh ate you with that information mid-bite so you could really dwell on what you're eating. I already put it in my mouth. Thanks. It doesn't really taste that different. I don't think. We need the classic milk chocolate back though. So that's a good call on them. It's definitely waxier. That's my review. And a little bit's coming off on my hands, but not a lot. Which brings me to my next video. Because now people are really questioning the contents of Hershey's chocolate bars because this is happening when they open them. Watch. Guys, I don't think chocolate is supposed to look like this. I don't either. Why is it so like elastic-y? That's nasty. Ew. We'll see. And it tastes chewy too. It doesn't melt in your mouth like chocolate melt in your mouth. Okay, well, mine just broke off. How long do you have to let it sit out for it to start? There might be a freshness issue with those ones on the video. Like if it sits and kind of like let it melt or something. I'll let this melt on my pants. I don't let you know. I don't let you know, but that's like really nasty. People are saying that's an eraser from a bookbear. I was going through the comments. People said old Hershey would have melted five seconds after you touched it. I will say this is really not melting on my hand at all. Gross. Yeah, and I'm eating it. Does it like does it melt in your mouth though? Like if you like leave it there, like let me say. Someone in the chat keeps saying don't eat it. Don't eat it. Too late. This is a perfect opportunity to plug. There are so many great apps out there that you can like scan and find out what's really in your food and like 10 out of 10 love using those. Yeah, it's it is melting in my mouth. It's yeah, it's kind of like chewy. I don't really I'm not getting the chemical taste that people are talking about. I'm sure there are, you know, there's jock full of chemicals in here, but I don't know. But anyway, after all of this hubbub and all of this social media backlash, Hershey says it is going to go back to the basics when it comes to Reese's. So at first Hershey was kind of defending its decision. And they said to a statement to CBS news. Sometimes, you know, we have to make product recipe adjustments. We have to make changes. And, you know, Reese's peanut butter cups are made the same way that they've always been, but then they said, you know, we've grown and expanded the Reese's product line. And I think when I think they're talking about the new shapes like the Christmas trees and the Easter eggs and things like that. And because the ratio is a little different, they've made changes. And they said to keep up with the demand of Reese's fans, they've had to change some things, but you know, they're saying the essence of what makes Reese's unique and special is still there and that it is chocolate and peanut butter. And, you know, to Brad Reese's, I think that's his name point. Yeah, it's chocolate and peanut butter flavor, but they're not using real milk chocolate and peanut butter anymore. They're using some, you know, BS, weird mixtures and creams and coatings and whatever. I will say, is this normal that it's like, I guess it's breaking off, but it is a little like malleable. Again, not a great way to describe chocolate. Well, no, I think chocolate is that way. Malleable? Yeah. You don't want, you don't want like malleable chocolate. Hold on. I'm doing a little more market research here. We need a Willy Wonka's expertise. It is coming off on my fingers a little bit, but. I don't know. It's kind of gross. I don't really eat this stuff anymore, though. So. Yeah, a little waxy. I don't know, but I think with all of this backlash, I think if customers, like Reese's customers, do I have chocolate on my mouth? No. Um, I think if they all get together and say, Hey, we actually really prefer the real chocolate and real peanut butter. And if Reese's sees a bump in business, I think that her she should really. Make them all hot changes. This is like not sitting. Do you need some water? Really not sitting well in my mouth. Actually, it's like chemicals are kicking in. It's the seed oils are like clogging my throat up. I think like, yeah, it's kind of gross, but yeah, no more rubber candy, no mare, no more coatings, cream stuff, no more cheap poisonous substitutions. I just say make chocolate great again. And on that note, let's get into scrolling time. Ooh, someone in the chat said, make her. She the next bud light. People are getting ready to cancel her. She's now. Ooh. Just as long as it's done canceling by Halloween, because that's what I really care. I think we should just use healthier ingredients. And here's the problem. Everyone wants to make a cheap product and that's how they make money. But all of the better, healthier alternatives to chocolate products and candy products are so much more expensive than people. They rely on the prices of these bigger box brands. And anyway, that's how this all, I don't know, this is how we all die. This is their plan. It's it's they're not playing the short game. They're playing the long game. They're getting us all nice and pumped up with whatever. It's great. Anyway, this liberal is saying that it is very nice. It's very nice to the trans community to start calling your significant other partner, watch. I just want to remind you that people don't say partner to normalize queerness. Straight people say partner so that queer people don't have to out themselves at work. If everyone's saying partner, then when a queer person says partner, they are not outing themselves. It is a protective measure, not an attempt at normalization. Let me just say, if you're queer, we can all tell. No, no queer person is like getting outed because, you know, they're not calling their partner partner or anything like that. I can tell that this girl making the video is queer. She looks like she voted for Kamala Harris. I know she did. She looks like she, you know, protests ice. She looks like she lays down in the street. And, you know, she wants to die on the sword. She's very performative. And she wants all these straight people to go do what she wants. They want straight people to abandon the language like boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, all of the, you know, all of these gendered terms that we've used for years because, you know, man and woman. And I'm not abandoning that. And normal people are not abandoning that. I am never going to call someone my partner ever unless I say, howdy partner. Howdy partner is the only time I'm saying partner ever or business partner. I would never use the word partner to describe a romantic relationship that I am in. Partner is so weird. It is so corporate and cold to describe the person that you're in love with. Like, no, that is my boyfriend. And I was going through the comments on the video and people were saying, well, I'm older now, so it's weird to call someone my boyfriend. I use partner because I feel too old to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Get over it. These are the terms. You can't be too old to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. That's just what it's called. I don't care. Get over it. You're not Batman. You don't need a partner. It's crazy. I totally agree. It's just, it's howdy partner or nothing in my book. Now, this is even worse because I can, I can deal with the first video. I could deal with it, but this is where I draw the line. This is victim mentality to a T. These people are just dying to be a victim at all times and this woman, she claims that she needs a wheelchair and she also does this. And I'm just fucking with him. I got it. Why do people get so mad when they see you stand up for a wheelchair? And she starts dancing. Abelism. Oh, so it's ableism. I think that's the opposite. Like what she's doing is ableist. I'm going to be a hundred percent with you. If I am waiting in line at universal and she rolls up and stands up and gets on the ride before me, I'd be a little sad. No, this is like the extreme of a person who isn't handicapped, but they have the handicapped little sign for their windshield and then they put it in and then they, they pull up to the handicapped spot and then they get out and they, you know, hop, skip and a jump out, you know, Florida, a flight, flight from Florida is a miracle maker. Everybody's in a wheelchair to get on the plane and once they're where they need to be, they walk right off. Really? I've never noticed that. Next time you fly out of Florida, everybody wants to get on the plane. So they're all in a wheelchair and then you land at the next place and they want to get off the plane as fast as possible and not wait for the wheelchair people to come back and they walk right off. Whoa, I've never noticed that, but I've never known to look for it because I just assume that if you're in a wheelchair, you need it. Yep. Wow. This is me assuming the best in people and I really shouldn't do that. I really shouldn't do that. Anyway, the woman who is the account holder and she gets up out of her wheelchair and starts dancing, her name is Leanne Firestone and she calls herself an autistic advocate and disabled unicorn. So you can already disregard everything that she says because yeah, you're not an expert and she says that she wears wrist braces because she has hyper mobile hands and she has pots, which means you get dizzy when you stand up too quickly. You get brain fog, you have fatigue and this is just like a quick generalization of these things. I'm sure there are people out there who really have these things and maybe she does really have these things and they struggle. But she also said in another video that I have EDS and all of the major symptoms are dislocation and dizziness. So she gets dizzy when she walks up, not in that video. She got up very quickly and started dancing. So I don't know, maybe she just was having a good day and she says that her hands hurt so she wears braces on her legs and her hands and on her stomach, like on her back or on her back because parts of her body will just dislocate. It's sort of like a mix between. I tried to look into this because I'm thinking, you know, am I, I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. Um, and I think it's sort of like your, what's that word when you're like, your legs are like hyper extended. It's sort of like that. She deals with that. So anyway, believe her or not, she certainly can get up out of a wheelchair and walk and dance. So anyway, this next video, because you all know how my gaydar goes off on everyone. I think that most men are, are gay these days. At least the ones that post on social media, not, not all men, but, uh, the men that I see what I'm scrolling. And I did find this funny because these guys think that guys are gay. Also watch this. Are you gay or straight? I'm straight, man. Do you think other people would think that? Of course. Yeah. Do you think this guy is gay or straight? What makes you say that? I don't know. That's just the five because are, are you gay or straight? I'm not gay. I'm straight. Do you think other people would think that? Yeah. They think I'm straight. Yeah. Do you think this guy is gay or straight? I get, like, probably DL. Oh, for real? What makes you say that? I don't know. Like, he don't give all of gay. Are you gay or straight? I'm straight. Do you think other people would think that? Yeah. If you look gay, I can't even count. What makes you say that? Just the way he looked. Are you gay or straight? No, I'm straight. Gay or straight? I'm straight. Do you think other people would think that? Yes. Do you think this guy is gay or straight? Gay. What makes you say that? I don't give a fuck what nobody else thinks. Does this guy look gay or straight? He look gay to me. Like, man to man, though. What makes you say that? Just give him a sass, bro. Are you gay or straight? I'm straight. I'll say I'm a pretty... I like women. Do you think other people would think that? Yeah. Oh, no. He gay. I said, nah. That's a gay man right there if I ever seen one. Look at him. He got the tongue out. Yeah, nah. He gay. Are you gay or straight? I don't give a fuck what nobody else thinks. Does this guy look gay or straight? He look gay to me. Like, man to man, though. What makes you say that? straight. I'm straight. It's just the vicious cycle of are you straight or gay? No, I'm straight. Do you think that other people would think that? And then again, even the men think that all the men are gay, but you have to explain this to me. You just think that other guys look gay or what? Like they don't actually mean that, right? Yeah, I mean, they're just saying like, yeah, you look gay. Yeah, all guys hate other guys in a fun way. Great. Great. I feel like everyone just hates each other now. Like women hate women. Men hate other men. Women hate men. Men hate women. Everyone just hates each other. Yeah. Basically, everybody's gay and everybody hates each other. Yeah, at least with guys though, like one quick little spat and then you're like best friends for life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Women hold grudges a little bit more. Can you bring me my iPad for the last video? And then I'll play video 21. This is you know, my my feelings on AI. And if we can use AI for good, okay, if I feel like AI is being used for bad in most cases, and it's really not foolproof. Like there's a lot of things that are good with AI and some that aren't. And you know, this couple, they used chat GPT to try to talk with their own cat. Watch this. I love you, Guppy. Chat GPT is translating. Guppy, are you hungry? He says, I don't think it works. The cat is like, can you guys shut up? Actually, when I was playing that video on my phone, Birdie was kind of like looking at me. So I don't know what it said, but I was just about to ask, like, do you do this? No, I do not do this in my evenings. No, I do not. I talked to Birdie and she talks back at me. We just aren't speaking the same language. But every every time that I talk, she does like chirp back at me and makes noises. And we, you know, we have a little conversation. I don't know if she knows what I'm saying. I don't know what she's saying, but I can assume that it's give me more treats or it's time for bed. There's a connection there for sure. There's a connection there. Okay, so this last video, this is a dog who's on its last legs and her name is Lita Bita Bota Butt. My baby, this is Lita Bita Bota Butt. She is so old and so fragile. Anybody to make fun of her has to be insane. This is my baby that I will take care of until she dies. I love her. She is my everything. Her and Emerald Jade Green Ball. Lita Bita Bota Butt is my everything. She may be old and fragile, but you know, everybody and every every human and every animal, they, they, they're born and then they get old and die. People is like this. They get old and fragile. Every human will be like this. Old and fragile. If they live long enough, that's true. Just think about it. If you live long enough, you'll be old and fragile just like her. Animal and human are the same. We are all the same. Someone in the chat said looks possessed. OMG, that poor dog. Poor thing is cataracts. It's like a zombie dog. All right, so let's go through the comments here because people were having the same feelings. Someone in the chat said, is that animal dead? Better looking than Nancy and Hillary in the chat. I like it. Crypt Keepers Poodle is a top tier one for me. Yes. Yes. So people in the comments were saying, what do you feed it? Souls? She was so cute when she was a pup and it's a picture of hieroglyphics on the wall of a cave. Date of birth, one, one, one, like the first year ever. She's still wearing her life jacket from the Titanic. That dog walked on and off of Noah's Ark. She doesn't look a day over 2000. Girl, she passed in 1895. There's people in the chat saying that's an ugly dog. That poor dog. 1% battery life. She has seen empires rise and fall. First registered poodle in 22 BC. Her prime was with the dinosaurs. That's the original dog. I'm not sure she's ever dying. I wonder what she feeds this thing. How much water it gets? Like, how is it getting to this point? She's been here since Adam and Eve. If dogs had social security numbers, hers would be one. You're not supposed to dig them back up once they're in the ground. And on the eighth day, God created Lita, Lita, Bita, Bodh-Bhat. Say her name three times and all my furniture started floating. That's a tough one to say three times fast, actually. Lita, Bita, Bodh-Bhat, Lita, Bita, Bodh-Bhat, Lita, Bita, Bodh-Bhat. Sorry, I wasn't on the news. She invented fetch. I just know her breath would clear her room. She looks like she could see the past, present, and future. I can hear the dog whispering, release me. Let that ancient artifact rest in peace. She's the same age as water. She needs to run for Congress. We'll leave it at that. Term limits. And no one at the same age as Lita, Bita, Bodh-Bhat needs to be in office. How old is she in human years, you think? What is it like dog years or seven years? Human years plus time seven? It's transcended time at this point. She just is. She exists. Yeah, she's beyond her time. Anyway, thank you for scrolling along with me. I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Bye.
