Alright, back to your podcast, playlist, or whatever is keeping you going today. Welcome back to Spot on with Link, Lauren. Happy, hump day, happy Wednesday, or if you're listening to us later in the week, we hope you're doing amazing. We have a lot of hot topics to get into today. Okay, we have an entire royal roundup. As you know, those two little hucksters from Monocito, they've absconded back to the United Kingdom with the children of the corn, whose faces we never see.

Maybe we'll see their faces now that they're in the UK. But there are all these new stories coming out. Apparently, they're crashing at a billionaire's house because, as we know, they are royal professional couch surfers. Okay, they went from Tyler Perry's house. They're always looking for someone. You know, they're probably Airbnb's number one customer. Except they usually don't want to pay. So Harry and Meghan are back in the UK. We have updates on all of that. Apparently, there are letters being sent to other students and parents at their kids' school in the UK to warn them not to take pictures and photographs. I don't think anyone is waiting around for you guys. Actually, y'all left six years ago. A lot of those kids don't even know who your kids are. So we have all of that. We also have some updates on staffing. Meghan Markle is allegedly having a hard time finding staff in the UK. Imagine that. Her reputation precedes her. And we also have to talk about these videos that have gone viral all over the internet of these NFL male cheerleaders. So I was posting about this over the last few days. I'm not liking this. Okay. As someone from Dallas who grew up with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, I need to see some

strength. I need to see some gumption. I don't want to see limp wrist and soft little movements. Okay. I don't want to see male cheerleaders who I feel like I could take in a fight. You know what I'm saying? I want to see male cheerleaders who look like Thor. So we're going to be breaking all of that down. We also have the story we found. There's this video of Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend. He's on a podcast talking about how Jennifer Aniston and her new boyfriend, who's a life coach, Guru, they meditate with each other to get through arguments and hard times. They sit and they meditate. If my man told me we were going to sit and meditate during an argument, that would not go over well. I don't know how it would go over in your relationship. Okay. So we have that. And we also have some interesting stories about AOC and Hunter Biden that we have to get through. Those are just some little fun ones at the end of the show. So without further ado, we are going to dive right in after the 60 second ad. So stick around. You may think you slept all night, but if you spent that time tossing, turning or trying to get comfortable, you're probably going to feel it the next morning.

That's where Ghost Bed comes in. You'll sleep cooler, feel better, supported, and wake up with less of that soreness that can make the start of the day a struggle.

She thinks she is this huge star. She thinks the paparazzi are after her, even though no one cares at all. In fact, I think they probably call the paparazzi on themselves. We have a new story from page six. Apparently, the kids are going to be attending this real she-she private school in the UK. It's about $35,000 a year. The school is going to have a gourmet dining hall that serves breakfast, lunch, and supper with a variety of intricate dishes, including falafel and slow roasted lamb shoulder. Now, when I was in school, we weren't having falafel or gourmet dining. We would maybe get a pizza, which is a piece of bread with some tomato sauce on top. You might get a carton of milk in that thing would start to disintegrate within about 30 seconds. So, this school sounds like real fancy real she-she-she. They sound like they're big brats. But apparently, a letter has gone out to other parents at the school, reminding them not to photograph or film other children without permission or share photographs information or details about pupils or their families on social media.

No one cares. Okay, I guarantee you, none of these parents, especially if they're she-she-rich parents, are interested in these knockoff members of the royal family. Now, William and Catherine, they would absolutely care about, but Harry and Meghan crawling back to the UK with their tales between their legs. No one is that interested, and mark my words. The only reason they don't want their kids photographed by other people is so when they sell the pictures of their kids' faces. Finally, someday, whether it's this year or the next, it is worth a whole lot more. I believe that's why they keep the kids' faces so obscured, like children of the corn. Only photograph from behind, we don't know if they exist. I think they're keeping those identities under wraps, not for security. They have tons of security. They're doing it because the pictures are going to be worth a whole lot someday, and kind of like the Kardashians, they need that next generation to keep the machine going. Right? William, who has Northwest and the other young kids who got Kindle and Kylie, that's how I think they're looking at the children to be that next generation coming up through the ranks. We also went and found this clip of Meghan Markle on MasterChef Australia entering the

workroom, and let's just take a look at this for a second. This is how Meghan Markle is going to be entering her first PTA meeting. She just has to walk in with pomp and circumstance. She's still dining out on her royal title. She thinks she is hot stuff. She thinks she is the hottest thing on planet Earth. She thinks she is God's gift to all of us. That is how she's going to be walking into the kids school. Now that they've sent letters, they've got this gourmet dining hall, the parents have been told, don't photograph our children. No parents during drop off are interested in your kids. Parents in the morning are stressed trying to get breakfast together, get the backpacks packed, trying to get everybody into the car. No one is thinking about Archie and Lily Bett, okay? When they're doing school drop off, but we also have some more information. Apparently they are staying at billionaire Ian Wasis home. They're staying at this guy Ian Ways is home while they're in the UK. So once again, they are professional couch surfers. Like when they stayed at Tyler Perry's house, and then they redid part of his backyard, these folks, I don't know why they can't just find their own dwelling, okay?

Why are they always couch surfing? I don't know about you. Part of being an adult means finding a place to live. But Meghan and Harry, there's some type of arrested development here where they just love to crash on people's sofas. They're always looking for handouts and that's what we're seeing now. And I would honestly think you would have found the home before moving to the UK to be completely honest. Like what was such, what was the rush? Why did you guys have to go move into someone else's house? The kid should have stability. You understand what I'm saying? The kid should be able to know this is our home with all of our things. I would have tried to have had as many of the kids toys and a kutramant in this new house as possible. And the kids are moved all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. They still feel a semblance of home. Like, oh, the playroom still looks kind of the same and our beds are in the same configuration. But now I guess the kids are going to be staying at this billionaire's house allegedly. Then moving into another home when they find that. So this is just all a mess. But these two little hucksters, they just go from one calamity to the next, anything for attention.

I do still think a divorce is looming. I think a divorce is imminent. I don't know what's going on behind closed doors, but I can tell you something is rotten in Denmark, right? Meghan Markle is still going to be trans-Atlantic going back and forth to California. Harry is going to be there with the kids. They're being moved closer to the royal family on British soil. So it's interesting, you know, with a custody situation, I don't think Meghan Markle would have many rights or any rights at all to the children. So we'll be keeping an eye on this and keeping tabs. But we have some more royal stories to get into. Now speaking of finding a home, apparently Goldilocks, Meghan Markle has some serious demand. She wants nine bedrooms. She wants a ton of space. They want a big property. I don't know where this money is coming from. According to the Daily Mail, they are working with a gargantuan budget. I'm just not buying that. I'm not believing that. I think their finances are in a dire situation. That's why they're going back to daddy, King Charles, to beg for money. They've had this huge judgment with the lawsuit in the UK.

I just think there's something rotten in Denmark. Okay, they've got people loaning them planes. They're crashing at people's homes, but apparently they have a gargantuan budget to work with. So where is that money coming from? Let me read you a little bit more. So Meghan Markle is insisting on nine bedrooms for the family's new countryside estate in the UK, which is the exact bedroom count at her $15 million, Monacito compound she already owns. Meghan reportedly wants nine bedrooms in a film studio while Harry wants a lot. And I mean a lot of land and no footpaths going across it to protect their privacy in quotes. Three separate sources have told the Daily Mail that despite earlier reports of a $16 million property being locked in, no deal has actually closed. Friends insist they're not selling the Monacito place either. Now the film studio Meghan wants is said to be a way of keeping her brand alive. Now I think there might be an only fan situation like having a film studio in the house or worse comes to worse.

Meghan Markle can film all types of content in there. I don't know who would be wanting that. I don't know who would be signing up for that. I also think the nine bedrooms is a lot, right? Is that one for everyone in Meghan Markle's personalities? Is that because she has so many, she has so many different, you know, life stories. She can't figure out who she is from day to day what career she wants to have. So I think they need nine bedrooms in this mansion for all of Meghan Markle's kind of delusions of grandeur, right? All the personalities can have their own room. I just think we're not going to be seeing them together a whole lot. I think they will make strategic appearances. I think they will appear when they can get a lot of press, when they can compete with William and Catherine because that's ultimately what they want. They want to come and inject themselves into the royal conversation. They see that William and Catherine and Charles are still commanding a ton of attention. I think when they left the royal family, they really thought that the royal family was just going to go down the drain. They didn't realize this institution has survived eons, okay? Throughout history, the queen became queen at 25 years old and she reigned until the

day she died. So Meghan Markle and her delusions, she thought she was going to be able to take out the royal family. I'm going to accuse them of racism. I'm going to lie about them. I'm going to cast aspersions onto them. Harry is going to lie about them in his book and make it seem like, oh, there are these horrible victims who are mistreated, even though they were given a massive wedding and everything they ever wanted, horse-drawn carriages. I really think they thought over the last six years, the royal family is going to go down. William and Catherine are going to become obsolete. William and Catherine are stronger than ever. They command more headlines and more attention than they ever had. George Charlotte and Louis look incredible. They're out at Wimbleden and out at events. I think that's what's been killing Harry and Meghan at home in California. It's like, oh, man, we thought they were going to go down. It didn't happen. It absolutely didn't happen. The institution is going to survive. They've gone back to the UK, I think, to slither on home and insert themselves into the royal conversation and go to events. Now, there are even stories in the press that William needs to apologize to Harry and

people are waiting to see the brothers together again. Why should William go crawling back to Prince Harry? Why should he give Harry an apology for what? For giving Harry everything he wanted, Harry's never even really had to work. He's been the spair. You've had everything handed to you on a silver platter and you want an apology. We spoke about this in the last episode of the show. It'll be interesting to see, but you can already see the press in the UK, which is vicious, the folks who cover the royal family. They're always ginning it up like a soap opera. Now, they're going to be waiting to see if the brothers do any events together. Are they going to appear for Diana's 30th anniversary next year? Are they going to come together? Are they going to have Christmas together? What's going on? Now, if they don't, that's going to create a whole round of stories. I think the impetus for them moving number one is financial, but I also think it's to get press because they're having a hard time commanding attention back in Montecito. Now this last royal story I want to get into is switching gears a little bit from Harry and Meghan. We have to talk about Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson.

Now I saw him when I was at the White House for King Charles royal visit. He was there in his full get up and gear and full regalia. Apparently, he is stepping down. We are sad to report. He is stepping down. He is going to spend more time with his family. So let me read you about this. Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson is leaving his post at the end of the year. After seven years with the royal household, the equory serves with the royal regimen of Scotland and will also leave the military to pursue a career in the private sector after 20 years as a soldier. This is what a Buckingham Palace spokesperson has told us. Their majesty is where, of course, aware of this plan in advance. I know they are most grateful to Johnny for his support over the last seven years and wish him all the best in the future. Now, he was also part of the King and Queen's official entourage during their visit to America. As I told you back in April, he became a huge star on social media because those of us who have followed the royal family, we know about him. He has been this sort of heartthrob in the UK and he worked for the Queen before she passed away.

But now, many, many folks within the United States also know about Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson. And so we wish him the best. We wish him the best on his next sort of journey, his next chapter. Martha Stewart also posted a picture of him after the state visit and said, can't believe I got this close to the hot equory. So shout out to Martha Stewart, even she knows we have love and respect for Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson. But after that last ridiculous story, we got to pay some bills really quickly. We have a 60 second ad and then we're diving into Jennifer Aniston, AOC Hunter Biden. We've got a whole lot and those NFL male cheerleaders so stick around.

With my Sapphire preferred card, we took a trip to a desert oasis. Ernie, five times the points on Chase Travel, two times the points on all other travel plus a hundred dollar hotel credit. Chase Sapphire preferred, a card that's preferred for a reason. Guards issued by JP Morgan-Jays Bank and a member of FDSC subject to credit, a ruble

turns apply. Everything I've learned about Jennifer Aniston, I've learned against my will. I know so many of you are huge fans of friends, you absolutely adore her and she's been unlucky and love, but I'm just tired of hearing about her relationship and for some reason, it keeps ending up in my feet. So as we know by now, because we've discussed it here on this podcast, she's dating a motivational speaker, life coach, Guru named Jim Curtis and apparently he went on a podcast recently with Jamie Kernleema to talk about how they meditate with each other to get through arguments. Let's look at that. Do you and Jennifer use this at home, like if you have it? We do a lot of meditation, we do a lot of talk, but we don't use this particular pair. We have, we have, Jen and I have been together a year and a half. So this tool isn't the first tool that we go to. What is the first tool of meditation or? Yeah, meditation, acceptance, understanding, those kind of things and a honeymoon phase.

Your tools don't have to be big sledge hammers. This seems like one of those relationships that's a lot of work. These seems like one of these know it all guys and I said this to you guys months ago, I said when they get into arguments, he's probably like, sweetie, let's sit and unpack all of that. Let's unpack your trauma. What has gotten us to this point? I'm sorry, I need an alpha male. I don't want a man who wants to sit around meditating and talking about his feelings and doing kumbaya and braiding each other's armpit hair. That's not interesting to me. I'm sorry. Get me a real M-A-N. Okay. If I were in an argument with my boyfriend and he said to me, we need to sit and meditate, motivation, acceptance, love, retrieval, retribution, celebration. I'm like, what are you doing? Are you speaking English? What's going on here? Have I dropped acid? I can't deal with this crap. Okay. I can't deal with this. I also think couples who constantly ruminate on their issues create more issues.

It's like I see these couples who go to marriage counseling sometime, honey, you go to the marriage counselor. They're digging up more problems that you didn't even know existed. So Jim Curtis, I'm sure Jennifer Aniston, because she's had bad luck with love, we've heard her whole mischegos about having kids and she wanted kids, but it didn't pan out for her. And now she's accepted it. Great. Happy for her. I think she feels, well, God has maybe put this man in my life because he's really there for me. He's like a therapist. He's a friend. He's a motivator. That's not what I would want in my life. Okay. Jennifer reminds me of that relationship on Sex in the City where Carrie Bradshaw dated Berger. Remember she dated Berger, the guy who broke up with her on a post-it note, left the post-it note. He had the sound machine. If you know what I'm talking about, this reminds me of Berger. It's like a guy who seems great on paper. He seems real intellectual. He seems thoughtful. He seems contemplative. Right. He can probably quote Emerson and throw when all of these people, that's really not what

I want to come home to. I don't want to come home to a bunch of meditative, cum baya namaste. Let's sit in child's pose on the floor on a yoga mat with, you know, a candle of motivation. Let's light our candle of manifestation and align our shockras. I'm not doing all that. If a man said to me, let's sit and meditate and align our shockras. It's going to be a no for me. It's going to be a no for me. Let's tell you how I feel. But I wish, Jennifer, the best. We'll see if this relationship lasts. I do hope that this is really the one in that she's found love and happiness and light, because there were a lot of stories about how she was just staying up all night, chained smoking in her house, drinking. So I think maybe having this guy come in, but I will tell you, too, honestly, I was going to move on from this topic. Some of these guys out here who say they have it all together, that they really know how to do the inner work that they've healed and they see themselves as motivational speakers

and almost these kind of gurus and life coaches. Their lives are a hot mess, right? Their lives are a mess. It's sort of like that friend who can give a really good advice, but their side of the street looks like a bomb went off. I feel like that guy is a no at all. He probably has skeletons in his closet. He probably gaslights her a lot. He's probably real passive aggressive. I don't want all that. I just don't. Okay. I'm a man who's not talking about shock res being an alignment and coming together and holding hands and meditating and doing Namaste. And I know that works for a ton of you and you love meditation. I'm not putting you down, but just my personal opinion. Now speaking of dating, we're going to switch gears to the two 2028 top front runners in my opinion Hunter Biden and AOC Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. So they've both been in the news. They seem to be sort of the wonder kids of the Democratic Party right now. Hunter Biden. And all these podcasts, tours, I guess he's leaving his crack pipe and his needles at home. He seems to have made a great recovery and seems to be doing well.

And my thing with Hunter Biden is this, right? If you've gotten sober and you've turned your life around, great, happy for you. Plenty of friends and family of mine. They've gotten sober and turned their lives around. I hope that for everybody. They're people watching this who have overcome addiction. People are struggling with addiction. I don't actually want to knock Hunter for that. What I'm knocking him for is the years and years and years of us being told the laptop is Russian disinformation. Everything we've been told about him is fake. He's this great son. How dare we discuss him. Now he's out on podcast tours talking about how everything in that laptop was real. It was all real and he was doing business with his father allegedly putting his father on the phone with leaders around the world to try to sort of strangle and get money out of them. Now he wants to rebrand as this sort of wise guru who's going to help people through their addictions. I'm just not buying all of it. Just because you got sober and you turned your life around, doesn't mean you get to sit in your ivory tower on a soap box. It doesn't mean you know more than the rest of us.

We've all seen that one friend and I even joke with some of my friends and family about this. It's like they get sober. Maybe they've been sober a few years, a few months. And now they're sort of like quoting the 12 steps all the time and throwing it in people's spaces. It's like, happy you got sober. Maybe you got your act together, but you have no authority on anyone else. But speaking of dating, I want to play you this clip. Apparently Hunter Biden's son says he's a little bit gay now. Let's look at this. Let's get serious. I am gay. Really? Wow. Seriously. I'm so amazed. You're gay. Are you gay? Only a little bit. A little bit. Yeah. More or less than 50 percent. What? More or less than 50 percent. 48.6. Okay. Okay. So he says he's about 48.6 percent gay.

I don't think Hunter Biden is actually gay. I think he knows if he wants to run for president, you can't be the nominee in the Democratic Party as a straight white man. Okay. They have spent the last 10 years waging this war on straight white guys. You know what I'm saying? Promoting DEI diversity, equity, inclusion, everything in between. And so Hunter is probably like, listen, I'm bi, I'm fluid. Hey, look at me. I'm a little bit gay. He needs something to give him a little bit of diversity because it's interesting to see Hunter Biden kind of calling out the swamp, calling out government corruption. His father was one of the most corrupt people on earth. Your father was the swamp. He was in politics for 50 years. That was one of the main critiques about him. Hunter Biden benefited enormously, enormously growing up as a famous child with a famous father in politics. Right. I'm sure there were so many things Hunter Biden did that the media overlooked. Crimes that were sort of swept away because his father had access and power and influence. And so now that he's going on these podcasts and acting like he's the crusader against the

system. You literally are the system. But I'm not buying that he's actually gay. None of the videos from the laptop would give us that impression at all. Maybe some lady boys over in Thailand. But I think he knows if he's going to run for president because he's that delusional, I think he thinks he can run in 2028 or some point down the line. He's got to have a little bit of some diversity to him. I think it is a little bit offensive to those of us who are actually gay and don't make it our entire personality that recently a lot of folks want to jump on the LGBTQ bandwagon. They want to be like, I'm a little bit gay too. I might be by. I might be pan or fluid like these terms. I don't even know what they mean anymore. But people want to jump on that bandwagon maybe for a little bit of diversity. It's like, I've never used being gay or my sexuality to get attention. I want people to respect me for merit and my intelligence and what I bring to the table. Speaking of dating, we got to talk about AOC. AOC, she likes to do these walk-in talks with different reporters from TMZ. She doesn't do a lot of real interviews, but she'll sort of walk back and forth in what

seemed to be staged appearances. She was asked if she could ever date someone on the other side of the political aisle. Let's look at that. Could I ask you, would you ever date a conservative? Would you be in anything? Is that anything you'd ever been to date? I have to say it's probably not. But I think a lot of politics sometimes, at least for me, is about values and being aligned with values, I think, is tremendously important. Just what every conservative man wants. AOC, an inseparable liberal woman whose lives streaming herself, freezing her eggs, injecting herself with hormones, who's basically a very, very, very, very progressive member of the Democratic Party. But now she wants to walk back a lot of those progressive policies. She's trying to portray herself as this friendly, moderate look, I'm walking and talking, I'm just like you.

I don't even know what I was saying during the woke era of COVID. She's trying to say, oh, that woke time was crazy. Woke one, I don't even know who that was. All of these Democrats, right? There are many candidates right now. People are pulling up old interviews and clips and they're like, oh, my God, you said this, defund the police. You said that. AOC is trying to walk all of that back because she wants to run in 2028. And I do think if she runs in 2028, she will have support. I think the fact that she can walk and talk, even though she doesn't sound very intelligent, she seems relatable, right? To a passive viewer, she's going to seem relatable, she's going to seem friendly, like someone you could hang out with. And while Harris has folks, as folks have pointed out online, she cannot do a walk and talk, right? She's too focused, grouped. She can't form coherent sentences. A lot of the Democrats couldn't sit there and do a podcast or just talk off the cuff. And so the fact that she seems like a normal person and is talking about dating and life and relationships, even though it has nothing to do with policy or our kitchen table issues, it's going to make her seem relatable to a lot of people.

So we'll be keeping tabs and keeping eyes on this. We have some polymarket data here. AOC is at 20%. John Ossof at 16, Newsom at 15, Kamala at 8, Peabooda Judge and Josh Shapiro, they're at like 6 and 5%. So not that this means too much. I actually don't think this means much at all. I think we'll have to see what happens in terms of the actual primary, because the primary, you could have someone emerge who no one's thinking about. But I think AOC is definitely going to be a front runner and she's laying the foundation for all of that now. But we have one final ad and then we are back to discuss these ridiculous NFL male cheerleaders. So stick around. Everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. So what if you're looking to lose weight, but not interested in painful, weekly injections, especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects? That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean and the results are remarkable.

The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, burn fat by converting it into energy, and curb your appetite and cravings so you're not as hungry.

So we've discussed before how the WNBA is an utter calamity. They can't figure out that the W stands for woman. They're having commissions and meetings to try to figure out who is eligible to play in the WNBA, which just shows how insane the world is in 2026 that we are debating this but something that's also gone viral this week is the NFL. Now the NFL has gone viral because these male cheerleaders have gone all over the internet. Let's take a look at this cheerleader for the patriots.

You can see him dancing. It's almost like an audition tape for RuPaul. He's sort of twerking and dropping at low. Some folks believe he's wearing almost a bra top in the back. I don't know why you would need that. I don't know what you're supporting there. When I saw this, as someone who grew up in Dallas with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders who are a global institution, he would not make the cut. Number one, these moves are way too weak. These moves are too soft. I need to see pointed toes. I need to see strong arms. I need to see, I don't want to see limp wrist. I want to see everything strong and on point. I have to tell you, when I look at these male cheerleaders, I don't want male cheerleaders who I think I could even take in a fight. I want to see a male cheerleader who looks like Thor, who is strong, who is tough, who can lift the girls in the air. I don't think this guy could lift a girl and catch her. The only thing he's probably going to catch is monkeypox. So nonetheless, this male cheerleader who's gone all over the internet, people are very divided. I also want to know, and we have this other guy right. He's on the Eagles, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Look guys, I know about sports. Hey, so you have these male cheerleaders, who are they for? Are they for like 0.1% of the population who come to these games and want to see this? I would do male cheerleaders that women in the crowd find appealing, but women aren't going to find these guys appealing. That's the kind of the whole point. The male cheerleaders need to be able to lift them in the air, catch them, be strong bases during these maneuvers that they do out on the field. But now you have these guys, they can't do jack. They can't do anything. And I want to bring up the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders because that's like the Hunger Games. Becoming a cheerleader and Dallas is like the freaking Hunger Games and none of these boys would make the cut. I want to play you this one clip we found from the reality show where the girls are auditioning to be on the DCC. Let's look at that. You've gained like 13 pounds last year. So now you're at risk of losing your job here. Noticeable weight gain in some of our veterans. Some of y'all are getting visibly heavy looking and sluggish. If you're not ready for cameos then you won't have a cameo.

Okay. It's literally the Hunger Games. You need to drop 13 pounds by tomorrow. You need to come back and be an entirely new person. The girls will stand up there and they're stick thin and they're sort of pinching them and going, this looks way too soft. You're not going to make the team. Those boys, they would not make it through round one of boot camp to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. But there's so many teams rolling out these new boys. You've got the Ravens, the Rams, the Vikings, the Patriots, the Saints, the Eagles, the 49ers, the Seahawks, the Buccaneers, the Tennessee Titans, and the Washington commanders who I believe used to be the red skins, but now we can't have fun anymore. Everybody gets offended by every darn thing that happens on earth. So I don't really want to see these male cheerleaders. A lot of people have written to me about this. They want my opinion. They're like, Link, what do you think about what's going on? No. If I see a male cheerleader, he needs to look like a hymnsworth brother. He needs to look like someone very strong like he could defend us in a fight.

I don't want to see wimpy soft movements. Okay. I want to see strength. Gumshin. And I will circle back to what I said before none of these boys would make it on the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Well, my friends, that concludes this episode of Spot On With Link. Lauren, we can't wait to see you back next week. We'll have some new episodes. We'll have a lot to discuss.
