I'm sure they did, but I probably took a nap in that class. Do you have any idea? Let's see, I'm gonna say... as in the 19? 1914 to 1918 was World War I. World War II was the 1940s, the first half of the 19. You weren't born yet. I was not, but it's important that you know these basic markers in history. I know I'm the grumpy old man here, but I can't, this kind of, I can't even laugh at it. You're an adult, I think she's a college student, right? She went to college probably. I don't know. And you're not sure about the century when World War I happened. Now, plenty of moments like that. You can watch the whole thing if you're so inclined to, for some reason, but apparently she can guess when World War One took place within about 100 years. She barely had the century down. So needless to say, this will not be a history podcast. And I don't, like I'm not gonna, we're not gonna belabor the point, but I, how do you, how do you manage to make it to the age of 21 without having absorbed the basic information about the century when the world wars occurred? Even if you're not paying attention in school, it seems like just by accident you would at some point encounter that and it would seep into your brain somewhere. So this leads us to a problem. How do you make a podcast when the host doesn't know anything at all about anything? Well, according to Yahoo, after much consideration, a genre for this podcast has been identified. Here's the headline, quote, Hawk To A Girl, Haley Welsh will give relationship pointers in new podcast Talk To A. Yahoo goes on to report that quote, Talk To A is a part of the Better Banner, the media company founded by Jake Paul. It will be a weekly podcast showcasing a mix of different personalities and interviews. So this is now a very well-funded relationship podcast, where the hawk to a girl will be talking to guests about how to fix their problems with their boyfriends or spouses or whatever. It's launching in a few days. Now admittedly, as of right now, it's not clear if this is just some elaborate prank. It's possible that callers are gonna ask Hailey Welsh what they should do in their relationship, and she's just gonna respond with the same two word catchphrase that made her famous over and over again. And the crowd will go wild because that joke just can't possibly ever get old, apparently. But maybe there's gonna be more to the podcast than that. Maybe Hailey will seriously try to assess other people's relationships, try to offer them advice, as Yahoo reported. And if that's the case, it's actually even more ridiculous. There is no universe in which a 21-year girl should be offering relationship advice to anyone for the simple reason that she doesn't have meaningful experience in adult relationships. As you know, because I've complained about this many times in the past, this is a problem that is not specific to Haley Welsh. There has been a proliferation of people on social media and in podcasts giving relationship advice, despite the fact that they have no wisdom on the topic to impart at all. They have had no success in that area at all, and yet they're giving advice. So this is my opportunity to get back on my familiar soapbox once again to remind you that you should not listen to relationship advice or insight from anyone who does not have demonstrable success in the area of romantic relationships. It should be controversial. If I told you not to listen to car maintenance advice from somebody who can't even change their own tire, you would immediately agree. Same principle applies here. Almost all of these relationship podcasts are worthless, worse than worthless because they're run by people whose only experience with relationships is failing at them and who have not learned anything from the failures, because they keep failing. And so it's not like they can give you advice based on, they can't tell you the things they learned the hard way, because they haven't learned anything. Success in a romantic relationship means meeting someone, dating, getting engaged, getting married, and then staying married. Nobody is qualified to dispense advice on romance or relationships unless they have completed all of those steps. And even then, like 80% of the people who have completed all those steps still probably don't have much to say of any value on the topic. That's just the reality. But certainly we can say that everybody who has yet to complete the steps has nothing of value to say on the topic at all because they couldn't possibly. Now, I don't blame Haley for not being married yet. She's only 21, but that's the point. 21-year have almost no experience being adults in the world. It's unlikely they have much wisdom to offer. I certainly didn't at that age. I doubt that Hailey does. The only notable thing that she's done is make a sex joke. But, you know, for now, her handlers are pretending that the sex joke is evidence that she's an interesting and brilliant person. In promoting this new podcast, Better Media says that, quote, Hayley Welsh is a bona fide superstar and her charisma, unique perspective and innate connection with her audience makes her the perfect fit for our platform. Talk to her will bring a fresh and dynamic voice to our content lineup and we can't wait for our audience and brand sponsors to connect with Hayley in an authentic way that embodies the ethos of better media as a whole. The ethos. So they're falling back on the corporate PR speak because they know there's no substance to any of this. The point of promoting this person is not to help anyone through their marital problems or give them guidance on finding a spouse or anything else. The point of promoting hers to turn her 15 minutes of fame into a lot of money. And if that means giving a lot of very bad advice to young impressionable audience, then that's what they'll do. And they'll do it as shamelessly as possible. And that is why I'm afraid to say Hailey Welsh, the Hawk to a Girl, and everyone promoting her podcast, and anyone involved in it, and anyone who listens to it, and just everybody, they're all today canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
