missionary for the rest of your life hey

what are we doing going up to girls

outside the bar which what what better

missionary or back shots I'm not sure if

this is like a normal thing to do in

America and I very much doubt it is but

if you did that in the UK you get called

a weird nons and laughed at until you

went away and that isn't the only

strange interview she's done she did

this one with uh K IIs or kiss I don't

know how you pronounce that an

Australian radio station after she blew

up and it's it's [ __ ] weird I was

trying to think of a a more descriptive

word for it but the best way I could

describe it is just just [ __ ] weird

they all know who you are for such a

funny little thing

do you really Hong or were you just

having a laugh

there H is that really the first

question you have to ask this

21-year-old girl do you actually Huck to

her man come on why are we doing this

come on I was just having a laugh there

so you don't you're not a spitter

Brother come on now come on surely

you're better than this he doesn't stop

there I think he catches himself being

weird and like just stumbles over his

words yes I know fit no

no what the

[ __ ] but anyway there was clearly a

large demand for regular hourlong

content with her so she answered the

prayers of the many and announced her

podcast called uh talk to us like hug to

her but you're talking to us very clever

word place I'm haly well a little while

ago my life took a complete left turn

and it changed forever and along the way

I've realized that everybody's to their

own opinion what does what does that

even mean saying hu T gave you a new

insight and perspective on life that

made you realize that everyone is

entitled to their own op did you not

realize that before

what I think she's just saying stuff for

the fair enough what are you trying to

say this I realized that everybody's

entitled to their own opinion how did

this make you realize that well now it's

my time to talk check out my podcast

every week talk to them where I'm

sitting down with the coolest guest and

having Act ual conversations with them

okay well that's good and novel there's

not many podcasts out there where people

get guests on and have actual

conversations with them there was really

a gap in the market for that I think now

this podcast is ran by Jake Paul's

company better which as you might be

able to guess is a betting site and Jake

little piece of advice for you here keep

funding this podcast it is a very wise

and shrewd decision and this will no

doubt return you Millions every week

people from all over the world will be

waiting with gleeful anticipation for

the next episode of of talk to her

anyway let's watch this episode because

that's what this video is about come on

Haley it's not that bad all right it's

time to get out of the bed and quit

writing Haley get up all right I'm ready

talk get in talk to us Haley did you get

it it's the name of the podcast it kind

of sounds like HW Tua which is the

phrase she said only intellectuals will

understand this and I want you guys to

get to know me better than HW Tu ah good

thing you called your podcast talk to

her then because people will surely

forget about that with that sort of

branding no it's t like you really got

to put your emphas yeah you're not

saying Tu you're saying T you know like

you got to really put your back into T

how [ __ ] sick of saying that phrase

do you think she is Huck and Tua have

probably been half of the words she said

in the past 3 months say the L

Haley HCK to now this may c a shock to

you but this podcast is it's kind of

uneventful I know who would have guessed

that a In fairness to her her presenting

ability isn't bad at all for someone who

got thrown into this like 3 months ago

and this is her first ever podcast

episode that she's hosting and she seems

a nice enough person but there's not a

lot of substance to the first episode

like at all there is really no reason

for this podcast to exist it just feels

like someone's gone ah she's quite

popular let's just let's just give her a

podcast because it might do well and we

might be able to get people onto our

betting sight but one of the most

interesting things to happen on this

podcast is she kind of alludes to Jake

Paul being a bit of a dick Jake's pretty

wild he he's a little spooky to talk to

that's like a man you know and what are

you noticing in the difference between

being a fan of someone from afar and

then meeting them like is it what you

expected he was exactly what I expected

like he lets on like he's an [ __ ] and

that's what I like about him he owns up

to that [ __ ] he knows it that's kind of

big in the first four minutes of your

first podcast your boss is funding to

just go yeah he's a he's a bit of a [ __ ]

I respect it I respect that massively

they then go on to talk about botox for

a bit and it is astoundingly

uninteresting I get a little myself I

call it broox when I do it so when you

start young you're actually just getting

rid whatever wrinkles would pop up well

yeah but if you get all that [ __ ] done

when you're young by the time you're 27

you look like a lizard and you can't

move your eyebrows this is just big big

COPE in my opinion oh yeah you know I

get bowo I get but it's just like you

know it prevents you know my face from

moving here's the thing number one if

you're a girl and you get BOTOX number

one you're going to track pedophiles

what the [ __ ] the [ __ ] are you even on

about if anything I found that Botox

makes people actually look older they

just look more smooth are we really that

out of things to say already that we're

at the point of going yeah anyone

attracted to someone with botox is a

massive pedo what are you talking about

what what does that even mean I feel as

that maybe this is a joke I don't know

but it's not delivered like a joke but

like so that's something that is such a

breath of fresh air about you it is you

know I agree so I'm going to be real

with y'all I was never the biggest

football fan I honestly don't even get

the rules that much but what I do know

is I like having fun and winning money

and better pcks let you win up to 1

thousand times your money the app is

super easy and it makes it a thousand

times more fun 10 minutes into the first

ever episode and we're already getting

an uncharismatic ABY for a betting site

hell yeah I wasn't familiar with your

game but the fact you're promoting such

a service that allows people to make

loads of money is very respectable this

will no doubt change lives for the

better we should be more thankful for

betting sites and casinos I think

because they're really out here just

giving free money to people it's so kind

of them they're basically Charities just

imagine if Chelsea said hakua and not

you that night I would would Chelsea be

sitting in that chair okay now the these

are the big questions I came to this for

if her mate said Huck to her instead of

her would she be the one satting that

chair would she be the one with the 30

grand public appearances would she be

the one with the the Huck to a Merch

this is a philosophical question that

people will be asking and studying for

centuries to come it's the modern if a

tree fools and no one is there to hear

it did it really fool if Haley Welsh's

friend said hu to her instead of her

would she be hosting the the talk to her

podcast instead I can't do it as good as

do you do it no you do it hot to you got

to put like an emphasis on it like T no

like really yeah say all right all

together hot to hot to hot to say it

aggressive like like like you're mad at

the dck you're mad at

[Laughter]

H H

to to

her ah talk to a podcast you have won

the internet today

I think we need to like do uh I don't

know like a bar crawl where we get you

drunk and try to get you a

slogan something say this podcast is so

dead it's actually amazing like it's

just Dead on Arrival they already have

nothing interesting at all to say and I

don't blame Haley at all she's just

securing the bag and riding this wave

she's caught and honestly she is the

best person on this podcast like these

two have said absolutely nothing of

interest to anyone who has ever lived on

Earth and this person just annoys me but

to be completely Fair she does tell some

stories of interest but she talks about

her ear getting bit off by a stafy which

is a pretty mental story and she does

carry the conversation and she's the

guest so where does it go from here are

the guests just going to be carrying

every episode and I know I said Haley is

the best person on this podcast but she

acts more like a guest than the host you

know what I mean why am I analyzing the

talks to a podcast this much what am I

doing but the thing is the podcast is

just based off someone saying something

that will make you giggle to yourself

for like 1 second I don't see how this

lasts more than 10 episodes and that's

being generous like what more is there

to say after that but if they have a fan

that's better do you remember that game

I mentioned beforehand where you can win

up to a thousand times your money Well

turns out it gets even better better

picks is offering a deposit match up to

$200 and a free pick for all new users

so basically if you put like $200 in

they match it that's 400 right there

what that's free money oh that's so

generous I very much doubt there is any

catch or downside to that tell you what

Jake Paul he's such a generous bloke in

he just giving away $200 wow God bless

him okay maybe not sh that thing that

respect I'm not doing this anymore like

And subscribe to that thing by that Fang

I mean this channel
