Starting point is 00:00:27 Benefits vary by card, other conditions apply. Wait, I'm with your granny now? Is that where you're at? I'm trying to set something up for you. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. You think so? I do, I really. I don't think I am.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Club Randall. You wanna be tired of them before they're tired of you. Let me tell you a story about the Beatles. Oh, goodness. All right, I'm all here for it. Clarendo. Hi. How are you? Belle.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I'm Hailey. Nice to meet you. Hailey Selassie. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Well, thanks for coming. Thank you for having me. I'm sure you should be nervous, but you don't seem like you are.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Eh. You shouldn't be. You're gonna have the best time. I'll try. Well, you're 21? Yep. Okay, so listen, something extraordinary happened to you, and you have an extraordinary opportunity.
Starting point is 00:01:22 And if you pay close attention today, you'll come out here really with a lot of knowledge of how to handle this because it's very unique what happened to you. Two amazing things happened in the last month. There was an assassination attempt and one brave billionaire's earlobe will never be the same. Yeah, you're exactly right. This is hard. And you, two things that are like completely out of left field. I mean, you must feel like a, what was that bit somebody had about like, you know, you ever see one of those little
Starting point is 00:01:58 bugs that roll up when they feel and then- Oh, they're rolling pulleys. Yeah, and then you like, shoot them. Yeah, he was like, flick him real hard. And then must wake up like... to them like a thousand miles away. Yes. That's kind of like what happened to you.
Starting point is 00:02:13 You're exactly right. You're exactly right. That's what it feels like, right? That's a good way to put it. But... you, for whatever reason, now I'm not a religious person, maybe, you, for whatever reason, now I'm not a religious person, maybe you are, that's what makes a horse race, we're all different,
Starting point is 00:02:31 but you seem nice, so like, we're all happy for you. Well, thank you. Like, you know, if you were, if you came off as some sort of an asshole, people would be like, resenting. Yeah. You know, oh, why is she suddenly famous? She's an asshole.
Starting point is 00:02:48 But you know, like every kid, especially your age, wants to be famous. And like, suddenly, they just, the sword came down and tapped you on the shoulder again. He said, you're it. Not from God. That doesn't really exist. But you make your own decisions.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I'm not going to lead you astray to the dark side. And so it's like you were given this amazing chip and you can now trade that chip in. Fame is like a huge chip that you were just given. But the key thing now is like, for what? Right? Yeah, for what? So this is why you should be listening very closely today.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Because you're gonna get a lot of good advice on that. I have a feeling, I don't know. I never know what I'm gonna say, because I'm always high when I do this. I understand. You're 21, right? We can speak freely. Fair.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And it's legal. We're not doing anything wrong. Exactly right. I would, of course, advise always using any sort of substance responsibly. And in moderation, do you do that? Yeah, I'm pretty responsible with it. Well, sometimes, unless I'm at CMA Fest in Nashville.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Why? Is that where you said your thing? Oh yeah, we're drinking all day long. Okay. So here's the first thing, now that I think about it, that we have to do. Um, what made you, uh, suddenly famous? Nothing to be ashamed of. But now we have to move past that. I agree. Haley. What's your last name?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Wilt. I knew that, I was testing you. It's okay, I had to sound out your last name, Arlie. I don't expect you to know me. Most of the country does, bitch, but... No, I'm kidding. Um, but you're young. You will. You'll get there. Um, that doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:04:52 What matters now is move past... Let's call it your origin story. And like, you know, it's very much like the Kardashians. Mm-hmm. You know origin story from comic books, right? Oh, yeah. OK. So what's the Kardashians' origin story?
Starting point is 00:05:10 They started out for all the plastic surgery and everything else, didn't they? I know. What's their origin story? What put them on the map? I'm not up to trends. I had to figure out who you were today. I'm so serious.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I don't keep up with anything. Oh, and you're 21. You're not supposed to. I'd be disappointed who you were today. I'm so serious, I don't keep up with anything. You're 21, you're not supposed to. I'd be disappointed if you did. But someday you will. Someday you'll be calling me and say, Bill, you know, I'm really getting caught up on the Middle East, can you tell me?
Starting point is 00:05:39 And I'll tell you. But right now, no, it was a sex tape. It was Kim's, no, it was a sex tape. You don't know? It was Kim's wedding. Yes. Yeah. So you do know this. Okay, I do know.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Okay. I didn't know that's what it's like starting it all for them though. Absolutely. And they're very nice people. Oh yeah, I'm sure. Chrissy sat right in that seat. She's a what?
Starting point is 00:06:01 She's been right here? Many people have. Even people you know. But yes, they're wonderful people. They're just very nice. The only thing you can get them on is the Kardashians. Or it's as if Spider-Man became Spider-Man because he blew a spider.
Starting point is 00:06:22 You know? That's kind of the same thing, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So like, your origin story is Hawk Tua. It's cute. But we must now be very circumspect in how we allow people to, how long we let them play that out.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And you've got to play a little hardball with this and, you know, be, you know, insist on Haley and, uh, and that's why it's important also to figure out your next step. So, that will probably come out just during the course of this conversation. It's better if it just happens organically, I find in my mentoring life.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Your mentoring life. Yes, it is what it is, and it's now the next thing. Because there's, like, so much I would love to know about being a 21-year-old girl. Like what? I mean, first of all, I mean, you know, you're adorable, you're cute. It's just the way of the world.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I mean, you got the world by the balls when you're, what? Okay. But like, your day to day before this happened was like working in a, where'd you work? A spring factory. A spring factory, right. It wasn't nothing bad though. It's not like a normal factory you hear anything about.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Like it was really laid back. I enjoyed it there. Yeah, but it's still a fucking factory. I mean. Yeah. I mean, it got the bills paid. That's all that mattered. I didn't mind getting up going to work every day.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Which is better, that or now you're in show business? Show business, come on. Come on. Show business. It's kind of fun. Is there a reason everybody wants to be in show business? Oh yeah, it's laid back. It's more fun than the spring factory.
Starting point is 00:08:19 What did you do all day? Well, so I was over quality and shipping, but I didn't have to do quality unless somebody else in that department wasn't there. I hated it. You sit in a chair all day for eight hours and like test springs that come out of the grind room, it drove me fairly insane. Because I hate sitting still that long.
Starting point is 00:08:35 It kills me. Then why'd you just tell me it wasn't so bad? This is why I'm telling you. Well, I didn't have to do it with once in a blue moon. Now, the shipping part, I didn't mind it, because I get to get up and run around all day. But like, whatever customer orders, like however many they want of this and this box, I used to do it with Winston and Blue Moon. Now the shipping part, I didn't mind it, because I get to get up and run around all day. But like, whatever customer orders,
Starting point is 00:08:47 like however many they want of this and this box, and how many of these boxes, I got to put it all in a box and stuff like that. And I was learning how to ship them out when I left. It really wasn't that bad, I swear it wasn't. No, I understand, and there's nothing wrong with that kind of work, or any kind of work. People need to have jobs, and it's great
Starting point is 00:09:04 if you have a job like that, that you find fun. Gives you character. But I'm, maybe a little too much. Yeah, maybe. But I bet you in 10 years you'd have been kind of over it. But you may have moved up by that time. You could have been the whole head of Spring USA. Yeah, 10 years from there.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Yeah. If I worked for there, like for 10 years, like you're saying, I'd probably been over it. So, and this is in where, Tennessee? Yeah, I can hear the accent slightly. Slightly? No, I love a Southern accent. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I like the South. I mean, I always tour in the south and enjoy it. Yeah, good food, don't we? No. Horrible food. I mean, I try to eat. I mean, all food in America is horrible. Anyway, it's not just the south.
Starting point is 00:09:56 But no, I bring my own food. I can't eat. You really bring your own food? Well, I only go for two days at a time. So, like, yes, I can bring enough of my own food. I get one meal in my dressing room after the show. That you can make sure that they prepare something fairly clean.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And decent for you to eat? What do you like to eat? I need to know. Oh, OK. Let's talk about what we like to eat. Well, what I like to eat, what I do eat, are two different things. I mean, you'll see when you get older, you can still look awesome like this, but you're on a short leash as far as health.
Starting point is 00:10:33 You feel me? So you eat your greenies. Well, that kind of... I got you. I eat my greenies too. That kind of stuff. Oh, really? That's my favorite food.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I eat like a vegetable. Is your favorite food? Well, that's rare. Yeah. It's shaped like a a vegetable. Is your favorite food? Well that's rare. Yeah. You say it like a chopstick, what do you mean? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:10:50 Oh you're- I got chopstick legs. I eat my veggies. That's good. I love my veggies. America's too fat. Yeah. Way too fat.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Just a little. No, a lot. And it's unhealthy and it's not cute anymore. Yeah. I mean, but yeah, so this is, yeah, people like in LA, this is fairly normal, but in America, you walk around like this, and I'm sure they say like, are you anorexic? Yeah, I've been asked that a few times.
Starting point is 00:11:17 No, you're fit. Thank you. That's what you're supposed to look like. Yeah. They just want to make everybody else feel bad because... Because America's so big. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I like how you think.
Starting point is 00:11:30 So that their fat ass feels better being... Anyway. So I eat pretty... Fling? Ling? Yeah. I mean, purity of food is more important than like meat versus... I'm not a vegetarian. You know, maybe... What is that? It's... Somebody asked me this every week. And every week I say, I'm roofing myself.
Starting point is 00:12:00 It's something to give flavor to sparkling water so you don't have to have diet soda, which has chemicals in it. It's something to give flavor to sparkling water so you don't have to have diet soda which has chemicals in it. Apropos of our conversation about eating clean. Even my soda's fucking clean. That's how fucking clean. Even your tequila's clean. Even my, well no.
Starting point is 00:12:17 All liquor is poison. Yeah. What are you drinking? A hun-nune. What the fuck is that? Okay, hear me out. I don't like seltzers at all. I think they're disgusting, but I actually like these.
Starting point is 00:12:31 They're pretty good. They don't taste like sparkling piss. I don't even know what that is, seltzer. It's just so it's non-alcoholic? Oh, it is. It's got 4.5%. Oh. But it don't taste like piss water. It's 4. five percent alcohol.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And so it's like a wine cooler. I guess you could say like a watered down wine cooler is what it tastes like. Like this one's black cherry. Like white claw. Is that the same kind of thing? Kind of, but I don't like white claws. White claw? White claws. What? White claw. White claw. White claw.
Starting point is 00:13:11 White claw. White claw. Exactly. How do you say oil? Huh? Oil. What word are we saying? O-I-L-O.
Starting point is 00:13:24 O-I-Oil.. Oh, I- oil. Oil is how that's pronounced. Oh. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna rule out network news anchor for you. But I do think broadcasting, because you have already a platform. You know what it is? I think I can tell him like the weather or something. I got it already.
Starting point is 00:13:50 What you got? You need to do a podcast. You do it right here on Club Random, if you do it my way. Sex expert. And I'll tell you why. Wait, wait, wait. I'll tell you why. Because you need to, when you're, I told you, you were tell you why. Wait, wait, wait. I'll tell you why. Because you need to, when you're,
Starting point is 00:14:07 I told you you were given this chip. You were given the chip of fame. Now you wanna trade that in for something that uses that, but takes it to the next level. You have to like trade on what you're already known for. That's the one thing you're known for. So you could do a podcast for like, I don't know if there's anything from somebody that age with that point of view, but it couldn't be frivolous. You have to take it seriously.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Could you do that? Kirsten Kuhn Possibly. Marshall S. And talk about sex, but seriously, serious issues, because there are a lot of really serious issues. I mean, you know, there's one that's related to what made you famous. Yeah. What? What am I gonna say? You have no idea what I'm gonna say. I don't know. I don't know where this is going. Okay, I'm gonna tell you where it's going. You learned that thing about spitting from porn.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That's where that came, what? You did. Maybe not directly, but trust me, like that, the idea of spitting, first of all, it's gross. It's not necessary. It never existed before porn. Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Do you realize that? And porn is not benign. It is not. And it has warped the minds of the kids in your generation, especially the guys. Yeah, they come up with some sick shit. Yes. People are just...
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah, no, I know they are. People are fucking sickos. And, you know, whatever floats your arc, but... Whatever floats your arc. Your arc. You know, I visited once... floats your arc, but... Whatever floats your arc. Your arc. I visited once, it's in your state, it's the museum, the Holy Land Museum, I think they call it.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You've never been there where they have the statue, the Jesus riding a dinosaur? Really, really? Well, they believe that Jesus lived on the earth at the same time as the dinosaurs, which is really stupid. You think dinosaurs are real? Did you graduate high school? I did. And do you think they taught you anything? No. Yeah. I mean, I know a few things about numbers, but other than that, nope. Right. It is the saddest thing. It is.
Starting point is 00:16:25 They don't teach you anything you need to know about life. I worked at a gas station for three years and learned how to write a check there. Our school didn't teach us that. Not just about life, but like we used to actually learn subjects, you know, like history and civics and science. And so you had a knowledge of things so that if you went out with sophisticated people you could carry on a conversation. I mean, they have left you kids high and dry
Starting point is 00:16:50 on the side of the road like an abandoned puppy. It's just terrible. But you know what? We're gonna get you up to speed. Yes, the Sex Expert Show. That's a good start. But again, can't be giggly. You can't just be laughing at silly stuff. I definitely would. You would. I definitely would. I'm not a serious person. I'm not saying you can't enjoy yourself.
Starting point is 00:17:20 But OK, then we can't do that. OK, that's out. That's definitely out. But it's too bad. Because that'd be sitting there going, well, Tom. It's too bad because that would be a good thing because people again already know you from something sexual. So they're like, they would go with that and then we could transition from that to something more broadly, you know, but again, we gotta get away from Hawk to Haley. And we gotta get away, we gotta get to something new.
Starting point is 00:17:52 So, all right, look, we'll come back to it. Okay, we'll come back to that. But, no, you know, your generation is so different than mine. For example, mine had parents. Yeah, fair enough. Wait, wait, is that a personalized joke? A personalized joke? Okay, we're not using the word personalized correctly, but.
Starting point is 00:18:16 You get what I'm saying. Is that a joke towards me? I do get what you're saying. Anytime I correct you, it's only for your benefit. It's because you love me, right? It's true. All right. It's only because I want you, it's only for your benefit. It's because you love me, right? It's true. All right. It's only because I want you to be better. Anyway, no, I just never, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:35 rarely you meet somebody your age who isn't at least from a divorced family. I mean, the parents who stay together are just few and far between. So many of them, um, I mean, weren't you raised by your grandmother? Didn't I read that? Okay, there you go. Oh, yeah, that's why I'm so manorsome.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Like, if you go out that door, I'm gonna open that door for you. You don't find that very often. You're gonna open the door for me? Yeah, that's manners. I mean, that's manners. I mean, that's beyond manners. Well, usually women don't open the door for men, but I mean, if that's where you wanna go.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Well, I'm different. Knock yourself out. I'm a little difficult. I had a man open the door for me. I can get it myself. Could you also move my barbells up to the attic if you got a minute? Your barbells?
Starting point is 00:19:23 I don't know how heavy are they. Let me get back to you on that But so your grandmother raised you huh she did and where is your mother Paul straight doing crack somewhere really. Mm-hmm Fuck The way these people just have kids and then get in a cab. Yo.
Starting point is 00:19:47 They say peace. She gone. So what's your relationship with your mother now? I still don't speak to her. Is she better? Is she not on crack? I wish I could say no. But you don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I don't keep up with her. I couldn't even tell you where she's at. Really? And she doesn't try to find you? Mm-mm. No? Nope. I'm fine with it that way.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Well. I've done this long without her. I don't need her now. Yeah, good for you. Never have. Because I got my granny girl. Your granny. Yeah, and she raised you.
Starting point is 00:20:16 But how old are you? And you're not married? 68, never been. 68. How do you feel about an 80-year-old woman? How do you feel about that? If you only knew the first thing about me. What's the first thing about you?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Well, I wouldn't be with her. I'm not gonna call you Paw Paw or nothing, but hey, I'm trying to throw something together. Absolutely. Paw Paw, is that like Tennessee for daddy? No, that's like grandpappy, you know? Oh, I see. I might call you grandpappy, but I ain't gonna call you papa.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So she raised you. And your father? He's here. He's here where? What's here? Like he's here and there. He's always worked a whole lot. But I don't live with him. He's worked a whole lot? Yeah, he's here and there. He's always worked a whole lot. But I don't live with him.
Starting point is 00:21:05 He's worked a whole lot? Yeah, he works a lot. But doesn't raise you? He did. Oh, he did? Mm-hmm. He lived with you and your grandmother? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Like, I got to stay with him every other weekend and stuff like that. Oh, so he was in your life? I just live with a green. So he was in your life? Yeah. You're not mad at him? No.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Just the mother? Yeah, we despise that woman Right very badly Well, you know who can blame you yeah, I mean you only get one mother. Yeah, so if that good soul I guess you could say but she's just I guess you how can I put it? She got in the wrong crowd If that makes sense, She has a good soul. She's just... Die, hell, whom I can fuck her.
Starting point is 00:21:50 We ain't worried about her. We're not worried about her. Yeah, I think that's the right attitude. Yeah. You have a very healthy attitude about that, which, you know, not everybody does. You were dealt a shitty hand. You could feel sorry for yourself,
Starting point is 00:22:05 but I see you're... I won't. No, that's great. And you could be bitter in talking about I'm a victim. And we're all victims to different degrees. I'm not gonna come out, oh, my mom was a crack head and just crying about this and that. No, you're not gonna get that out of me. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:21 And later on in life, if you want crack... I know who to go to, you know? That's the way you gotta look at it. Come on, there's always a positive in everything. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find her. Mommy, you got some crack? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Of course we're kidding about that. She wouldn't share. Right, crackheads, they're not big sharers. They're like Superman. Yeah, well, they're not big sharers. No. Because it's an addiction. But that's good that you're, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:50 you can let yourself be mad. Mad is better than sad. Oh, yeah. You know, mad is strong. I mean, not to, obviously, you could take that too far. You don't, you know, you don't want to, like... You know, shoot a president's ear off. No, you don't have to worry about you know, shoot a president's ear off.
Starting point is 00:23:05 No, you don't gotta worry about that. I probably shoot my own foot off or something before I got to that. Do you have guns? You're from Tennessee, your mom's. I mean all my family does, I don't really fool with them much. I'm telling you, I'm not coronated,
Starting point is 00:23:17 I'd blow my toes off. Like I don't need a gun. Right. Yeah. Where do you live now? You still live with granny? It's an hour, maybe an hour and ten minutes if that, south of Nashville. Okay. It's out in the boonies.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Like if you go down there, there ain't nothing. You would not eat there. There's no way you would. I am familiar with America in that way. Yeah. No, I mean, I'm not saying I'm the guy in Deliverance in the woods, squealing like a pig. You're the guy in the woods, squealing like a pig. I'm just saying... You're the guy in the woods.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I checked out your area. I just know that like outside, when you... Especially in the South and the Midwest, when you get an hour outside of the city, you are really outside of the city. It's not like where I grew up in New Jersey, where it's the city and then the suburbs. So it's... They of course have their own despising of each other for silly reasons.
Starting point is 00:24:08 You know, Long Island thinks the people in Manhattan are snobs and the people in Manhattan think the people in New Jersey and Long Island are the bridge and tunnel crowd. There's a lot of that, but it's not like, you know, the people in Atlanta and Nashville are pretty much like everywhere other when you're in a city. They vote mostly democratic and more liberal.
Starting point is 00:24:32 But yeah, you get an hour outside and, you know, it is, it is deliverance time. It can be really just different. And probably, I think they would be friendly unless you provoke them. Yeah. But, you know what Appalachia is? No, you never heard that word? You live in it. Like the Appalachian Mountains? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Is that what you mean? Well, there's a section of the country, it goes, it traverses about, I don't know, six or eight different states. It goes all the way from, I think, Western Pennsylvania down through parts of Maryland, certainly Kentucky, Tennessee, where else, West Virginia. That's Appalachia. And it's known for, I mean, for lack of a better word, hillbillies. Yeah. Yeah. I understand.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah, people who drink moonshine, got into meth. They're damn good people, though. You ever met any hillbillies besides me? Woody Harrelson. Who's that? Who's that? Oh, that makes me feel better. You don't know Woody Harrelson either. No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Really? Woody Harrelson? No. Oh, that is time. What a ravager. I mean, man. I don't know anything. I'm just kind of here. I know. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:25:57 You're not supposed to. It's not on the test yet. In a year. Yet. Well, you know, you don't want to wait too long. Another great bit of advice, I think, for anyone your age is when you're 21, it does seem like the world and the time ahead of you is limitless. It's an ocean of time.
Starting point is 00:26:21 It goes pretty quick. You don't want to turn around, which happens like that, and you're 30 and you still haven't like made a start with something. Unless you just want to like get married and have babies, which is perfectly okay. I don't want to do that. You don't want to do it. This is my prime time.

Starting point is 00:27:37 and do what I want to do, what I want to do, and do this and not have to explain it to anybody. And, you know, looking back in my life, I realized most of the stress came from being in a relationship, even a good one. Even a good one? Even a good one, because you're still always having to think about another person every day.

Starting point is 00:28:33 We're like, smokey adobe, you'll feel better. I ain't smoking that shit. Well, her generation probably thinks it's the double's weed or something.

November 1st and 2nd at the David Copperfield Theater at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Nevada. So I'm very curious. Like I'm sure you've had so many offers to do so many things now that you're the It Girl. Yeah. Have you ever heard that term, the It Girl? Yeah, by Jason Derulo. Oh, he has a song? Yeah. Oh. Who do you listen to? I don't know. I like country music. Do you like... Yeah, I do. Do you? Well, some. Like any music, I like the good parts and not the bad parts.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Yeah, fair. I could name lots of country. I love Brooks and Dunn, remember them? Mm-hmm, love Brooks and Dunn. Okay. You like Keith Whitley? Never heard of him. Put your mouth back.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Sorry. You're just gonna start another meme. Probably. You're just going to start another meme. Probably. They're going to blast me and put a whole bag of peckers in my mouth. Right. And again, we need to move past that, Hailey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:18 If you don't want, trust me. I'll try to keep my mouth shut. Just listen to me. What are we talking about? What did I just ask you? Country music. Who else do you like? What about Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:33:33 I like Taylor Swift. You do? I do. I liked her more when she was country. I did too. I really liked her when I was younger. I love Sparks Fly. I love that.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You know that song? Yeah, do you really like that song? I love it. Would I have younger growing up. I loved Sparks Fly. I loved that. You know that song? Yeah, do you really like that song? I love it. Would I have name checked it if I didn't? I bet you sitting here high as hell and you just mind your business listening to Sparks Fly, don't you?
Starting point is 00:33:53 I knew it. It's happened. I mean, I don't think I put it on purpose to like commune with it, but it's in my playlist. I love it. But, you know, I mean, I don't want to, like, commune with it, but it's in my playlist. I love it. But, you know, I mean, I don't know. Look, I'm sure she's a lovely person,
Starting point is 00:34:14 but the whole thing with the football player, just like, I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, my boyfriend's a football player, and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it. Right, I mean, come on. Whatever makes her happy. Oh, of course. If that's what she wants to do and it makes her happy, go on, and I got nothing to do with me.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I know. He's gonna dump her though, you know that. No, I'm gonna be a Travis Kelz hater. I mean, with her, it's like the Gatorade at the Super Bowl. You know you're gonna get dumped. You just don't know when. But you gotta think about it this way. If he does that, can you imagine the next album we're gonna get off of that?
Starting point is 00:34:53 Yeah. Yes, I can. It won't be Fuck John Mayer no more. It'll be Fuck Travis. That was a long time ago. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Is she still singing about that? No, it's just her old music.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Right. But her tour was the Eris Tour, and it was like a recapitulation of all her... Old music. Right. So it must have had the songs about all the people that she wrote songs about. Now you got a point.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I feel tacky singing about my ex-boyfriend. I think it's very tacky. Like years later. I think it's very tacky. I'd be thinking about it and be like, damn, didn't I forget him? Yeah. I mean, you can't control what the muse dictates to you. I mean, she's a songwriter.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I mean, what's in her mind? What's coursing through her emotions? Of course, it was breakup stuff, so she's going to write songs. I can't falter for that. When she comes on in the car, ooh wee. But it does seem like such a recurrent theme that at some point you just wanna say, maybe you should write a song called,
Starting point is 00:35:54 Maybe It's Me. Maybe It's Me? But no, I'm an admirer. I mean, anyone who, I mean, you're too young to remember anything. Like what? Like I was going to say, The Beatles, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, other musical performers who have had just immense careers like this, where they dominated beyond just mere culture,
Starting point is 00:36:20 I mean, rather real, just the music into the culture. And she has too. So I have to put her in that pantheon. I don't get Michael Jackson also. You know, I like Michael Jackson. You like him. Who doesn't? Yeah, he's got good music.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Oh, yes. Unconventional babysitter. But, um. Where do you come up with this shit? Where do I come up with this shit? You are adorable. I don't know. I should be a comedian.
Starting point is 00:36:48 And you just say it so casually and it goes right over my head. I'm like, wait a damn minute. Yeah. Well, you heard about that. Yeah. Yeah, what do you think? After a while, pedophile.
Starting point is 00:37:02 After a while, pedophile? Is that a saying? He's a creeper, wasn't he? Yes, well, I mean, pedophile, is that a saying? He's a creeper, wasn't he? Yes, well, I mean, you know, do we have? But then again, he's like one of the only ones that got caught doing it, kinda like R. Kelly. Like who don't we know about? Very true, especially in the music industry.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Makes you wonder, don't it? Oh, I don't wonder, I mean, the P. Diddy thing. Yeah. That one went over my head, I forgot't wonder. I mean, the P. Diddy thing... Yeah. That one went over my head. I forgot about that. Well, I mean, that certainly exposed just, I think, the... just the beginning of the cracking of the ice. Because that goes deep in the music industry. I've known too many people in the music industry, women in the music industry,
Starting point is 00:37:47 and the tales they have told. It is, it's just, it's relentless, it's never-ending, and it's ubiquitous. Do you know what that word means? That's a large word, could you explain that? Well, see, they should have taught you that in school, but it's a good word to know. And you know, when you learn words,
Starting point is 00:38:03 as soon as you know them, when you hear them, as soon as you know them and you hear them, you'll be surprised. Then you'll hear it again quickly, because you actually heard it many times. It just didn't register, because you didn't know what it was. I just said ubiquitous. Ubiquitous. Ubiquitous.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Means everywhere. Ubiquitous. Like germs are ubiquitous. Means they're just everywhere. Viruses, we're breathing in trillions of them right now. They're ubiquitous. It means they're just everywhere. Viruses. We're breathing in trillions of them right now. They're ubiquitous. What? That speaks me a little bit. When you had your viral moment, you were practically ubiquitous. It was everywhere.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It was everywhere. And so next time you're interviewed and they ask you about it, you worked out. Ubiquitous. I'm going to have to put that in my notes so I don't forget it. Actually, I might need Next time you're interviewed and they ask you about it, you work- Ubiquitous. You work that. I'm gonna have to put that in my notes so I don't forget it. Actually, I might need you to sound that out for me afterwards. I'm not the best speller.
Starting point is 00:38:52 You work that in. Ubiquitous. You know, just be like, oh man, I was ubiquitous. Yeah, bitch. And then my catchphrase, yeah, bitch. That's also helped. Can you get you like a big light up sound that says yeah, bitch?
Starting point is 00:39:13 So, all right, so you listen to Taylor Swift, and who else, who else is like? Have you heard of Tape McRae? Do you listen to a lot of rap? I mean, here and there, like old rap though. I don't listen to much to new rap. What's old to you? Old rap? To me it's like Jay-Z and Tupac.
Starting point is 00:39:35 No? You've heard of Jay-Z? Yeah, and Tupac. I've heard of both of them. I just don't listen to them like that. Yeah. So there's that one song Jay-Z's in. He's like, concrete jungle, wet dream tomato. You know, about New York. Uh, wet dream tomato?
Starting point is 00:39:50 That's not really what it says, but that's what it sounds like, and that's what I know it by. Pfft. Wet dream tomato, that's just... Concrete jungle, wet dream tomato. I mean, but you know, that's been going on for a very long time where we hear lyrics and then we think.
Starting point is 00:40:06 They sound like something else. There was one line did by the light and then set up like a douche in the middle of the night and it's like, that can't be it. I mean, I think other comics have sometimes pointed these out. So from Stealing Their Thunder, there was a song called Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clode or Revival. I'm sure you're a big fan. And there's a bad moon rising and something, something.
Starting point is 00:40:41 And it did sound like they were saying, there's a bathroom on the right. There's a bathroom on the right. That is not what they were saying. So you're not the first one. No. But if you mean that New York song, that is a great song. You like it? Well, I think Rihanna sings the hook on that, doesn't she? I think so.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah. No, it's a great combination. He's a great collaborator. Daisy. I think so. Yeah. No, it's a great combination. He's a great collaborator. Daisy. Yeah. He's been on my show a couple of times. He always called himself a serial collaborator. I remember that. Daisy's been on here.
Starting point is 00:41:15 No, my other show. My TV show. I know you don't know what daddy does for a living. But I'm a professor at MIT. Are you really? No, that's what Howard Stern used to say. I used to say I tell my kids I'm a professor. I'm a professor.
Starting point is 00:41:36 That was really disappointing. You could be a professor. I could be a professor. You look sophisticated. I'm a professor of show business. Yeah. And I think you're smart enough to like absorb what I'm telling you, but I'm telling you, this is a great opportunity for you to, you should listen to me because this is such a
Starting point is 00:41:53 crucial moment for you. You're at a crossroads of your life. You've been given this chip. Remember we discussed the chip? Now it's like a lottery. It's like a winning lottery ticket. You could throw it in the garbage, or you could just lose it, or you could parlay it into something...
Starting point is 00:42:07 Bigger. ...amazing. You know, we don't want to see you back at the Spring Factory in three years. See, once you've seen... There's an old saying, how are you going to keep them down on the farm once they've seen Paris? It was a saying when the boys in America
Starting point is 00:42:24 were going off to World War I, did they teach you in school when World War I was? I'm sure they did, but I probably took a nap in that class. Do you have any idea? Let's say, I'm going to say, as in the 19? 1914 to 1918 was World War I. World War II was the 1940s, the first half of the 19th. You weren't born yet. I was not. But it's important that you know these basic markers in history. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:42:59 when they were going off and they were going to France and there was a song, I think it was a song, how are you gonna keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paris? Meaning, like once you've seen something spectacular like that, you can't go back. And you can't go back. You know, now you've seen show business. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You've. Now I can't go back to my spring factory. It would be very difficult. You're a celebrity now. That don't mean nothing. I don't want you to lose at all your Southern charm and your natural thing. But, uh, yeah, you might consider going with the glass.
Starting point is 00:43:35 You might consider it? I could see, uh... I can see, uh... It's okay. That's what they put it in a can for. Okay. It's like real chilly. There might be germs on that can. We were talking about germs being ubiquitous.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Don't talk about that. Cause then I'm gonna sit there and think about every person that's touched the rim of it. I don't know. We're figuring it out. We are figuring it out. By the time you leave that seat, we've gotta have a clear outline,
Starting point is 00:44:01 because again, time is of the essence. America gets tired of shit quick. Yeah, they do. You know, you don't wanna be yesterday's fish. You wanna be tired of them before they're tired of you. Let me tell you a story about the Beatles. Oh, goodness. All right, I'm all here for it.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Back in the, when were the Beatles? Do you remember? Could you have any idea what decade that was? You give me a minute, hold on, hold on. Well, World War I was the- 70s? Close, 60s. 60s, okay, I was close.
Starting point is 00:44:38 I said close. Right. I give you credit where credit is. Well, thank you. Okay. After Beatlemania, you remember Beatlemania? The world went nuts. Just the way they do for, just like Taylor Swift now.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Like it's all anybody ever talked about. They, you know, there was nobody else who was close to them on the charts. Everything was one, one group got all the attention. So they're their fourth album, the first song on it was Taxman. Taxman? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And it was kind of their way of saying, we're not with the teenagers anymore. We're growing up and we're going to stay ahead of you. Because what could be less interesting to teenagers than taxes? No. So that's what you have to do. You have to stay ahead. They're going to want to always keep you where you were. I got to get ahead of them.
Starting point is 00:45:37 You got to tell them you're Haley. You've morphed into this. It was great, the origin story, it was great. That was the ashes from which your phoenix rose from, that's the body that your snake shed, the skin it shed, that's the egg you came out of, not that you're a snake or a chicken. But you did grow up on a farm.
Starting point is 00:46:08 And now you're this, you're not the worm, you're the butterfly. You have to demand to be seen that way. I'm coming out of my cocoon. You're coming out of your cocoon, exactly. And, you know, we don't hate the cocoon. The cocoon was great for a while. Who doesn't mind to live in a cocoon? Yeah, I think it'd be nice.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Kind of secluded by yourself. But it's great to be a butterfly. Yeah. Okay. So who else are you listening to? You listen to Taylor Swift, you listen to some country guy you never heard of. Keith Whitley, I can't believe you never heard
Starting point is 00:46:37 of Keith Whitley. You know who I, I just recently, he died, until I. Toby Keith? Yes. I... Toby Keith? Yes. You like Toby Keith? I got his 35 Greatest Hits because I made fun of him back in the day. You wouldn't remember where you were born in 03? Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:59 So that's the year we invaded Iraq, not that I have to tell you. And the country was very divided. And Toby Keith put out a song about, like, you know, put a boot in your ass. And I gotta tell you, I like it a lot more now than I did then. Just because the left has gotten so obnoxious that, like, it's, you know, I still think we probably shouldn't have gone into Iraq. But anyway, so I got this whole thing, and I like a lot of them. They're good, aren't they? There's one called, I'm not as young as I once was,
Starting point is 00:47:38 but I can do once what I used to do. I ain't as good I used to do. I ain't as good as I once was. That one? Yes. Yeah. But what's the second? I'm not as good as I once was, but I can do once
Starting point is 00:47:53 as good as I ever could. That's the idea, which I think is so funny. And certainly rings true at my age. I'm not as good as I once was, but I can do once as good as I ever could. What'm not as good as I ever could. What do you think about, what's the one I really like? My favorite one's I Wanna Talk About Me. Have you heard that one?
Starting point is 00:48:10 Yes, love that. I love that one. Very, well country lyrics are in general, very often superior to pop lyrics. Not the best pop lyrics. There are some amazing pop lyrics. I mean, I would put, you know, our greatest lyricists people, I'm sure you know very well,
Starting point is 00:48:25 like Paul Simon and Billy Joel, I would put them... ... Oh, folks, if you're not watching this, if you're just listening, you're missing such good... such good two shots with you. You make very good faces. It says it all. Well, if my mouth don't say it, my face will. No more of that. Sorry. It says it all. Well, if my mouth don't say it, my face will. No more of that.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Sorry. It's bad habit. So... But country lyrics are generally, they're clever, they're funny, and they're heartful. They're, you know, there's a kind of country song that's too country that I don't like, with the kind of like fiddle and, I don't know, it's just... I country song that's too country that I don't like with the kind of like fiddle and I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It's just, I don't mind the twangy voice, but when country got to be more like country rock, it totally won me over. But the old school kind of like, you know, fiddle. Not George Strait. Don't know his work. Don't do that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:49:30 You don't know the king of country? George Strait isn't... I know enough about the country that he's not the king of it. George Strait... Well, say, Keith Whitley wouldn't have done it. Of all the country stars, he's the king more than... Yeah. More than, like, Garth Brooks and...'t have died, I think he wouldn't have. Of all the country stars, he's the king more than... Yeah. More than, like, the...
Starting point is 00:49:45 He might be older than him. ...Garth Brooks and... Garth Brooks is really good. And big. They were big. Now, George Strait, you gotta do your research on him. He's great. I will.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I always like to give anybody a chance. You like Leonard Skinner? Leonard Skinner, yeah. Love me some Leonard Skinner. I mean, I don't consider that country. No, you said some great rocks. I was like, oh, yeah, Leonard Skinner, yeah. Oh, lend me some Leonard Skinner. I mean, I don't consider that country. No, you said some great rocks. I was like, oh, yeah, Leonard Skinner. Leonard Skinner, but Sweet Home Alabama,
Starting point is 00:50:12 like Leonard Skinner? I mean, yeah, Tuesday's Gone, Free Bird. Free Bird. Free Bird's so good. But they're a hard rock band. They're not country at all. Their lyrics are, you know. Good. band. They're not country at all. Their lyrics are, you know, they are nostalgic for the South at a time, it seems, when it was very bad for black people to live there. You know,
Starting point is 00:50:35 they used to be really bad to black people in the South, right? Yeah. Okay. I don't know. Yeah, they did teach us that in school. They did? They did. What did they, I'm so curious, what did they teach you about the civil rights movement
Starting point is 00:50:50 or slavery or whatever in school? Because there's a lot of complaints from school board type people that. That's some stuff I actually did learn a lot about. Like Harriet Tubman, she done the Underground Railroad. Yes, she did. I know that. I know who Martin Luther King Jr. is.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Rosa Parks. You do know who Martin Luther King is? Hm? Okay. And that's stuff I actually paid attention to. They interested me. Now you get to like. What was Martin Luther King trying to achieve?
Starting point is 00:51:19 I mean, he was shot in 1968. He was trying to be fair, was he not? He was what? He was trying to be fair. Trying to be fair. Yeah.. He was trying to be fair, was he not? He was what? He was trying to be fair. Trying to be fair. Yeah. Well he was trying to-
Starting point is 00:51:28 Like white people equal like white people, you know? Right, he was trying to get fairness for black people, yes. You know, at a time when it wasn't even necessarily encoded into law, or there was something called the 1964 Civil Rights Act, so that's 1964, I was eight years old, so it's not a million years ago. You're sitting with someone who was alive when it happened. It was a law that, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:55 and this is 100 years after the Civil War. So 100 years after black people were officially freed, they still needed to pass this landmark legislation to allow them basic things, like you could use the same bathroom. You weren't allowed to deny them to eat in a restaurant, I mean, or stay at a hotel. I mean, this is pretty basic stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:19 They had to fight for it. They had to fight tooth and nail. Some people would say President Kennedy was assassinated for it. You know who that is. Yeah, I've heard about him. He got shot in the back of the head, didn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:32 You know our ancestors actually come out of monkeys? They... Like, you know, they say they evolved from monkeys and then were here. They, of course they evolved, not from monkeys. Monkeys are our cousins. But monkeys... Monkeys are our cousins. monkeys and then we're here. They, of course they evolved, not from monkeys. Monkeys are our cousins, but monkeys. Monkeys are our cousins.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Monkeys and humans have a common ancestor, of course. Yeah, they just got a tail. You know that in your state of Tennessee, they had a very famous trial called the Scopes Trial. What's that? In 1925, seven years after the end of World War I, they had a trial where Clarence Darrow and, oh, who was it? He ran for president. I forget his name. He was the two most famous lawyers of their day. And one of them defended the idea that humans were descended from a common ancestor of apes, primates, which is
Starting point is 00:53:33 the truth. And the other one said, no, it's not in the Bible. And of course, the people there in Tennessee in 1925 and probably today, were very supportive of the idea. It was in the Bible and it's offensive to even think that we were, but we did and it's not offensive and it's science. And I hope as you go forth in the world, whoever you encounter, you present yourself as someone who believes
Starting point is 00:54:03 in the theory of evolution. It's not a theory anymore. Okay, good So don't even ask the question. We definitely descended from Well, we all the way from microscopic life. I mean one more question for you. Yes, I was that lady in the picture got their boobs well Where? In this picture? Oh, because Gilbert Godfrey did that. He was so funny, wasn't he? Yeah. She's got three boobs! This happened in Glass episode. What the fuck is that? That's a beautiful, beautiful piece. His wife, his widow sent me that. I thought she was going to say a beautiful lady. I was like, I don't know about that. Oh, I just noticed there's a blowjob going on in the upper right. Well, that's fucking Gilbert. Did he draw that? Yeah. Yeah, he was a very funny comedian. That's great. Died a couple of years ago. That is great. So humans are so new.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Do you know that? I mean, our species is only really a few hundred thousand years old. Like you can almost count the generations. And we've only been like living the way we live now, not nomadic roaming around where we were settled since about 10,000 BC. So only about 12,000 years have people like lived
Starting point is 00:55:33 relatively close to the way you, before that we were just like huddled and wiping our ass with bark. And leaves. And leaves and shit, yeah. What kind of a house did you have in Tennessee? Was the bathroom out back or was it inside the house? No, it is in the house.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I know. Don't worry, it is in the house. I'm fucking with you. It's definitely in the house. I don't have an outhouse, you throw mulch on your shit. I think that's the thing they do up in Canada, isn't it? What'd I say? I know they have outhouses in Canada.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Out in Canada? They don't fly, she's like, throw shit on me. Yeah. I imagine there are places in this where I certainly wouldn't single out Canada. It doesn't work. That's what I'm always get told. Like they don't have bathrooms there,
Starting point is 00:56:18 they just have outhouses. Canada is a very sophisticated country. I'm sure it is. Yeah. You've been, where have you traveled? Where would you like to travel? Have you ever been here before to LA? Yeah, this is my first week.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Your first week. And you came out here to do a bunch of stuff? Well, a little bit. A little bit. I've been busy this week. We'll get to have fun next week. I'm going home this weekend and I'll be back. Okay, look at you.
Starting point is 00:56:42 We'll get to have fun next week. You're in show business. Business, I guess, this week. Well, I tell you, you are a breath of fresh air for a country. Oh, thank you. No, you are, you're adorable. For a country that needs, you know, a lot of relief. There's a lot of shit going on right now.
Starting point is 00:57:01 So, you know, I think you just brought a smile to people's faces and that's really nice. So, you know, let them do something for you now. Let them spit on your dick. No, I don't know about that. I'm a germaphobe. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we're not gonna talk about that anymore. That's the old, that's the origin story. Yeah. Right? Not anymore. Right. Are you interested in, you kids these days, I'm gonna say you're interested in TV. You even know what a TV is. I watch TV sometimes.
Starting point is 00:57:33 You actually have a TV? Because usually kids your age, they don't even have one. It's like a typewriter to them. Yeah. TV? A TV, a television set. I like watching my TV. Me too.
Starting point is 00:57:47 I find it comforting. Me too. Like you lock yourself in your bedroom and you just watch TV and you don't look at your phone or nothing. Yeah. Right. I like that. And how much are you on the phone?
Starting point is 00:57:58 I try not to be on it a whole lot. Do you use dating apps? No. No. Uh-uh. Good. I'm not interested in anything. That's so good because that's part of the evil.
Starting point is 00:58:09 It's not like I'm out looking for it either though. I'm not. Like if it crosses paths with me, sure, that's one thing, but I'm not out looking for it. That's a great attitude. Yeah. And that's- Because I'm in my prime time, you know? I want to have fun.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I'm not here trying to get married the next year, you know? I really just, I don't know, it weirds me out. I'm not like you. It's a shame Deion Sanders already has the prime time nickname because that would be good for you. Prime time. But maybe he's not using it. You could steal it. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:58:37 You know him? Deion Sanders? Nope. I can Google him though. Don't worry. You're going to be doing a lot of Googling. Yeah. I have a lot of research to catch up on. Jesus, you know, he's the guy who they started
Starting point is 00:58:50 to count time again for. Like when he's born, that's how big a deal he was. You think Taylor Swift was big, you know, he had followers. I mean, he had followers, I'm not kidding. He did. So, if he ever lived, which is uncertain. Anyway, but when he is born, that's when we start counting time again. That's when we go from BC before Christ to AD. They say it doesn't really stand for after death, but it kind of... Well, it't, because he dies in 33, so yeah, it wouldn't work. And BC probably stands for something, I don't know, that's really what it means. Like this motherfucker was such a badass
Starting point is 00:59:35 that we started counting time again. That's, I mean, they can parse it any way they want, that's really what it is. So that's where BC goes, so when you're talking about BC years, you're counting backwards. So 500 BC is a- Then you go to like 400 BC. Right. Yeah, they taught us that in school. That. They did? We learned that in like, in fifth grades when I learned that.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And Greek civilization, one of the early important civilizations that gave the world so many things that have been carried through like the idea of democracy and stuff like that. When was that about? That's BC times. I'll give you that. It was BC times? Yes. 300s I'd say. I don't know. I've got confidence in my answer. Very good, it's very close. 200s. No, no, a little further back. I mean, Athens thrived in the second half of the fifth century BC, which is like the 400s.
Starting point is 01:00:36 And then Rome, Rome followed Greece. Those were the two pillars of antiquity, Greece and Rome. You know Rome, right? Is that someplace you'd like to travel to? It would be pretty cool. It would be pretty cool because a lot of Italy. Yeah. You've heard of the Colosseum. I like to go to Venice, Italy before it sinks.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I've been there. Did you like it? Well, it stinks like a turd, but well, it's built on canals. It stinks. It's just on canals. Ooh, it stinks. It's just... You can be, like, on that canal and, like, you'll turn down another street, you know, a street of water, and you just lose your lunch. I mean, it's just like, yeah. I can't do smells. I can do anything.
Starting point is 01:01:18 I can't either. And I can't do a city that's built on water. It's fucking nuts. Um, and it floods all the time. I mean, it's gorgeous and romantic,, it's fucking nuts. And it floods all the time. I mean, it's gorgeous and romantic and it's so popular now as a tourist site that they had to institute a fee just to get into the city, just to get into the city, not even do anything. Just to get in? Yeah, because it itself is such a big tourist site. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Probably haven't planned a vacation yet. There's a lot going on in the world. It itself is such a big Taurus site. Oh yeah. Well, I haven't planned a vacation yet. There's a lot going on in the world. Yeah, I don't know anything about, yes. Exactly. You know that- You educated me. You know that the Chinese just brought back a rock from the dark side of the moon?
Starting point is 01:01:58 What? The Chinese sent a probe up to the moon and they brought back a rock from the dark side of the moon, which we had never done. Maybe they'll smoke it. I know what I'm saying. Moon dust, actual moon dust. Why, is that a thing, moon dust?
Starting point is 01:02:16 I don't know. But it's actually off the moon, though. Did you see a lot of opioid abuse in your area of, that's the part of the country that... Did you see a lot of opioid abuse in your area of, you know, that's the part of the country that... I don't think. No? I don't know. I don't pay attention to that.
Starting point is 01:02:33 You didn't know anybody who was like on Oxy and they call it the hillbilly heroin. Mm-mm. That's how I know of. But I don't see anybody openly admitting it, you know. Alright, so you don't want to be in, well, TV. What did you think about some kind of TV career? Yeah, I possibly could. I got some acting classes.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Acting? Maybe. Oh, well this is a twist in the plot. I got some acting classes. Acting? Maybe. Oh, well, this is a twist in the plot. Maybe. I said maybe. I don't know. I'm keeping my options open.
Starting point is 01:03:12 I can do it, possibly. You know, you have to be very dedicated. Maybe not acting. Maybe like reality TV or something. I think it would be a shame, because your own personality is so good. It's like, sometimes people still will say to me, oh, you're an actor.
Starting point is 01:03:32 And I'm like, no, I'm not. That is not what I am. I'm almost the opposite of an actor. And I take pride in that. You know, like, no, I'm me. I'd rather be playing me all the time than playing somebody else. Phony character. Well, not that it's a phony. I mean, be playing me all the time than playing somebody else. Fawning character.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Well, not that, it's not phony. I mean, there's brilliant people who do acting and they do it at an amazing level and it's great and entertaining and I'm glad they do it. It is entertaining. But for some of us, it's just not right. You know, I think we're gonna wanna see, yeah, that little face.
Starting point is 01:04:07 This? Yes, doing that shit. Yeah. That's it. We'll get it figured out. Yes, I'm telling you, you gotta strike while the iron's hot. You're gonna wanna travel, right?
Starting point is 01:04:20 You wanna know where you are. You wanna know, like, you know, you said you Rome, you wanna go to Rome. Anywhere else, like Spring to Mine, Paris. Yeah, I wanna go to Paris. I think it'd be fun. Yeah, you gotta go to the places they put on Instagram. Yeah, all the hype places, I wanna go see them.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Is that where you see them? Like the Eiffel Tower, that'd be fun. Is that what you see on Instagram? Stuff like that. I see, that's what you see. And you see something and you would want to go there. What about London? I'd go to London.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I could. I'm never down, or I'm never not down for a trip. I think we need to conquer America first. Yeah. I'm just getting to explore all this. Well, you know, it could translate overseas or it could not. But we know here in America, you've captured the country by storm.
Starting point is 01:05:13 So let's just use our strengths, our adorableness, our innocence. Well, thank you. That all. And figure out what the next step is for Haley and not, let's just call her H-T. Yeah, we'll get there, don't worry. All right. Am I gonna do anything for you in this business? Be happy to. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 01:05:49 You're a delight. And you're just like when the Beatles came in 1964. We had just been through a terrible time with the Kennedy-assessed nation, as you remember, was 1963. Yep. We got shot in the back of the head. Yep. You remember that part. And they came along and just reminded the country of just joyful innocence and laughter. And that's what you've done. Slightly less musically talented. Yeah, I can't dance.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I know. But just keep doing that, okay? I will. Alright. Club. I'm about to pee my pants. I've been holding my pee for like two hours. I feel so good that you had to pee before I did.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah, I know. Right here. I'm proud of myself.
