Boycotts & Dating Double Standards

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Out of context, that conversation probablysounded pretty weird. What what specifical the
lotion? Yeah, the lotion conversation. Yeah, it's been a solid like
two minutes on lotion there. Andif anybody just caught those two minutes,
they're like, what the heck isgoing on on this radio show. Well,
at the very end, at theend of the day, I can
look at the mirror and know thatI always just was me and unabashedly and

(00:21):
unapologetically right. So you know what, Scott, maybe you should have kept
it blarin because maybe someone was learningabout their lotion routine. Maybe you changed
someonce. Should I stop saying lotionroutine? No, it's a lotion routine
I do. I do like it'sin the summer, it's a glob and
a half a pump and a halfin the summer for each spot, it's

(00:44):
two pumps in each spot. Forthe winter time, when it's dryer out,
your skin gets dry, and soI do all my whole face with
one. And then it's each armon one, the front of my torso
on one, back of my torsoon one, my upper legs on one,
and then my low legs on one. As you can see you know
that thing. Amount of lotion willadd up and you go through a bottle
pretty quick when you're showering, youknow, five six times a week.

(01:07):
So there you go. Sorry,Scott, I talked about it again.
My bad happened again. My bad. That's my bad. Sorry. We
got to find a way to makeit like a tougher conversation. Yeah,
do you know three years ago?What movie debuted thirty years ago today?
Little Giants? Oh? Great movie, great movie. I love The Little

(01:27):
Giants. Go find that The LittleGiants. I'm sure it's streaming somewhere.
It's a Disney movie, like alive action movie, so I would bet
that it's on Disney Plus. Idon't have Disney Plus right now, but
I'm sure it's somewhere. What anawesome movie. There you go, there's
a manly film for you, somethinglike that. Right. Yeah, got

(01:48):
football pee wee football in urban Ohio, which is a fake place, might
as well be real though they tellyou this. Those football players they need
lotion, all those pads. Justimagine the chase. Yeah, and Becky
the icebox Osha, one of thegreat nicknames of all time. The icebox,
Ah, the icebox a Icebox.What a great name that is,

(02:13):
man Like, how have we nothad an athlete nicknamed the icebox after that?
Somebody had to have picked that thingup. We had the fridge,
hey, that's yeah, but thefridge was before the icebod. I think
the icebox was inspired by the fridge. Ah. But Becky the icebox,
ohe was just a great athlete.She wasn't big, you know what I
mean? She played that the secondhalf of that football game. She played
that wearing a cheerleader outfit on thebottom half. She's a cheerleader in the

(02:37):
first half of the game because shewanted to be more girly to track the
quarterback. You know. The thingis he'll do for love anyway. The
thing that's training number one right nowat least in my feed on X is
cancel Netflix. Do you have Netflix? No? Okay, so apparently Netflix.
There are people that have put togetherthat a guy Netflix has donated seven

(03:01):
million dollars to Kamala Harris or tothe Democratic Party. Now that's not Netflix
as a company. It's just likeone of their co founders, Read Hastings,
Read Hastings, and uh yeah,Read Hastings donated seven million dollars to
the Kamala Harris or the Democratic Technically, I think it's just the Democratic Party

(03:23):
presidential race seven million dollars. Idon't know what he thinks that Kamala Harris
is going to do for Netflix.Maybe maybe like live like maybe like you
know how they had that Quarterback showand like the F one Drive to Survive
and stuff like, maybe they dolike a white House version of that and
they just follow the people in theWhite House reality TV style. Yeah,

(03:44):
maybe that's what his investments for.Oh yeah, people want to subscribe to
Netflix if they haven't already to watchwhat's going on in the White House.
You just got to ge Kamala inthere because she'll sign off on all that.
You imagine vlad Putin over there andRussia just watching that TV show just
like, oh these Americans so plastic, you know. Uh, I'd watch
though, would be kind of interesting. More people unemployed probably means more people

(04:05):
streaming. I mean that's true too. Netflix. Yeah, we have Netflix.
I like some of the stuff.I didn't have Netflix for a couple
of years. This is the kindof thing I just don't like. I
don't is knowing that the co founderof Netflix has given money to a political
campaign? Uh? Is that likethis? Read? Hastings also gave a

(04:27):
bunch of money to SpaceX and ElonMusk, who's kind of politically the opposite
of that. He's not a politician, but he's given money there too,
Right. M hm, So isthis that big a deal do you think?
I mean, I'm not asking youif you're going to cancel Netflix or
anything, cause I don't even knowif you have Netflix, but like,
do you pay close attention with batedbreath. I know a lot of people
do that with our company as well. Our company we're public company, and

(04:49):
you can go and find, youknow, the people that are in charge
of our company and how they givemoney to certain political campaigns and stuff.
Spoiler alert for anybody who wants totry to go do that and try to
smear us, our company's pretty unabashedabout doing that for both sides of the
aisle just kind of depends. Soit's really not that controversial. I think

(05:12):
that's most people's things, you know, like hey, we'll donate to your
campaign if you know you'll keep usin mind a little bit later down the
line. It's kind of most ofwhat this stuff is right. I don't
know, Matt, is this thekind of thing that you would cancel a
subscription or you know, stop utilizingsomething that you like to use before because
you found out that they donated toa political person you don't like. Not

(05:34):
me personally. I've never done that, not that I can think of,
But I also don't know. Likewe live in an age now where people
are going on social media and saying, hey, the Netflix founder, Netflix
co founder Read Hastings gave this muchmoney to Kamala Harris, cancel Netflix if
you're not if you don't support Harris. And I just kind of thinking to
myself as like, okay, soI'm going to cancel my nine dollars a

(05:57):
month to Netflix or whatever I paying. Read Hastings doesn't pay any attention whatsoever.
And I don't like get to enjoythe shows that are on there and
movies that are on there that Iwas watching or enjoying just to try to
make some sort of like grand politicalstatement that nobody will notice except I get
to go around saying I canceled Netflix. It always just that kind of thing,
like if you're truly passionate about somethingand you don't want to feel comfortable

(06:19):
supporting something like I'm like this withlike unaccredited zoos and aquariums. It's like,
if you're not an accredited zoo oraquarium, no matter how cool the
stuff is, and no matter howclose I can get to like a baby
tiger, or I can pet,you know, like bamboo sharks and all
this stuff like, no matter howcool that seems, I'm not. I
don't feel comfortable supporting you because youhaven't gone out of your way to get

(06:40):
accredited, which proves to me thatyou actually care about the animals that you
have. That's an important thing tome. I can see how some people
it could be important to them enoughthat, you know what, Yeah,
forget Netflix, I'm not gonna I'lltake my nine dollars and take it elsewhere.
I'm gonna go to Hulu was ifyou know, I think at a
certain point, if you are thatconcerned about these types of big conglomber companies,

(07:01):
I think most of them much likeiHeartRadio. From what I understand is
that they probably have donated plenty topeople on both sides of the aisle over
the years. I don't really knowwhat kind of statement you're making by by
doing that The difference between Netflix andiHeart Radio, of course, is iHeart
Radio is free. Netflix is notso. But I don't know it just
like it's not really a needle moventtype thing for me. I don't.

(07:21):
I don't. I don't feel likeme saying, hey, I'm going to
cancel Netflix because they support they gavetheir co founder gave money to a political
candidate. I don't like. Idon't feel like me canceling Netflix is going
to do a whole lot to changeanything about that, not. I mean,
well, and Read Hastings isn't inany of those movies, so you
know, it's not like, ohsee Read Hastings, Oh read Hastings,

(07:44):
he gave money to Comba Hairs.I'm not gonna have to worry about that
either, right, I don't know. Maybe I'm just too chill about this
stuff. Maybe that's why a lotof people don't like me. A lot
of people do like you, though, But yeah, yeah, that's true.
To be the contrarian side of that, it's kind of like zipper merging.
It takes all of us. Sobasically what you're saying is we all
have to we would all have tocombine and then cancel Netflix and then then

(08:05):
figure out that happened when they raisethe prices from like eight bucks to sixteen
bucks and they had to revert backto the old pricing because so many people
just canceled right away. Right,But this is a little different than that.
It's kind of like trying to startthe wave in a stadium. Yeah,
if you're just that one guy wavein your hands like a crazy person,
everyone's gonna laugh. But you mightjust start a whole movement if you
can get like a bunch of people. Yeah, I guess that's right.
Yeah, and then the satisfaction ofhey, we did something, but really,

(08:28):
like, who out there besides thecronies that are on Twitter really know
that this is even happening. Iwould never have even bothered to look at
what the vestings of the co foundersof Netflix are doing politically, because it's
not something that I particularly care about. Same thing with my celebrities. If
George Clooney wants to like write essaysabout democratic politics, I don't have to

(08:50):
read them. I can still watchOceans eleven and still think he's great in
it. Though, right, AmI a bad person because I did that?
No, it's just I can separatea person or a company away from,
like maybe some of their political leanings, just like I hope some people
would do the same for me.I don't lean into conversation and say,
hey, I really like conservative politics. What's your name? And it kind
of gets you off to a rockystart with most people, I don't know.

(09:11):
I'm also kind of halfway through abunch of Netflix shows and I don't
really feel like canceling right now,so sue me. Also, a bunch
of people, including this very interestingand highly followed thing Republicans against Trump is
the account Republicans against Trump, andthey have posted and said people who are

(09:33):
Trump supporters going to lose their mindswhen they find out Trump donated to Kamala
Harris's campaign in twenty eleven. Andthey have the check of five thousand dollars
that Donald Trump signed and it hasmade out to re elect Attorney General Kamala
D. Harris twenty fourteen. Again, I don't care, but this is
the kind of stuff that's getting sharedaround. Ooh Ly. Somebody also in

(09:58):
the comment says there's money from DonaldTrump to Gavin Newsom's campaign as well in
California. So again this is allbefore he got involved directly into politics and
probably changed his mind. Jadvanser wasa never trumper less time ago than that,
you know what I mean, peoplecould change their minds. So there
you go. Well what of it? Three nineteen. I'm just bamboozled by

(10:18):
some people and what's important to them. So if you cancel Netflix, I'm
glad I was able to be ofservice of you. If you don't care,
kind of like me, enjoy watchingthat new Receiver show that came out.
It's just very good. Actually,watch that Receiver show. My wife,
she likes to sit and watch someshows. Not a huge sports person,
loved the Receiver show. Cool.There you go. Three nineteen News

(10:39):
Rady eleven to ten kfab Kim says, maybe companies shouldn't be allowed to donate
the candidates leave that to the actualvoters. How do we feel about that.
We're talking in this country so muchabout campaign finance reform and how it's
a convoluted system and there are alot of workarounds, and there's a lot
of things that just aren't fair.And even though people have to like use
super packs to like help fund certainthings, the candidates themselves have good relationships

(11:03):
with people who can just fire oneof those bad boys up in a heartbeat
and a bunch of people to startfunneling money through there. So it's going
through legal means. But a lotof people say, you know, like
maybe we do need to adjust ourcampaign finance reform. How do you feel
about barring companies from having vested interestsfinancially in specific candidates? I would there
is merit to that. I think, yeah, Like I would certainly entertain

(11:26):
anyone's argument for it. But I'vealways felt like corporations acting as people is
against the better interests of this country. Well, and it's the lobbying,
right, Like, hey, ReadHastings and Netflix is that's no big deal
right, like to me because like, again, what is Read Hasting's business?
Kamas Harris is going to get electedand then decide to allow him access

(11:48):
to do a TV show in theWhite House? Is that like his vested
interest? That's not going to bethat much of an earth shaking thing.
But there are companies that are likefactories or they build things, they sell
certain things, and and they'll donateto a campaign helping a person get elected,
and they be knocking on that doorwhenever they need something or they need
you know, restrictions moved, orthey need a tax break or something like

(12:09):
that, and they're going to hopethat that person who they helped finance their
campaign is going to be able to, you know, give them a favor
or two to allow them to dowhat they need to do to make as
much money as possible. And inthat way, that's good business from the
people involved there. Right, that'sjust like a business trade. But it
is kind of against probably in alot of ways, the better judgment of

(12:31):
what would be good for certain localesor America as a whole, because now
all of a sudden, the politicianshave to kind of bend over backwards to
appease these people and their companies andnot necessarily their constituents. And you always
wonder why when politicians get into officetheir heart changes on certain things, you

(12:52):
know, like oh yeah, andthis is kind of the bombing Endez thing,
right, Like I'm not saying thecorruption we need to call corruption.
These deals, you know, thisis just politics, Like hey, i'll
help you get re elected, buthey give me a spot in your cabinet.
I'll give you a powerful endorsement inmy swing state but you know what,
wank and he wink wink, youget elected, that Department of secretary

(13:16):
or the secretary of transportation job looksawfully nice for me right now. That
makes sense. You can do thaton a personal level, not just like
a company level. But there issomething to be said, I think for
what Kim's saying here that you know, it feels weird that people in Congress
have been allowed to sell and buystock and stuff when they are privy to

(13:37):
information the rest of us are not. That seems a bit weird, and
have like vested interest in some ofsome businesses that like weaponry and things like
that, like you could benefit fromthere being world conflicts like there. There
definitely are some sketchy things that havebeen allowed to go on in the name
of what our government calls freedom.At the end of the day, though,
is it really best serving America?Even if it is technically freedom,

(14:01):
just being able to do whatever youwant whenever you want isn't necessarily what I
would consider to be freedom or bestfor this nation at all times. So
maybe if you become a politician,you have to sell off all your stock
before you get into office. Yeah, and if you're a company, maybe
giving money to specific political parties orspecific candidates might be kind of against the

(14:24):
greater good for the nation, evenif it could theoretically help you as a
business. There's got to be away that we can manufacture that somehow.
But at the same time, ifthey can't donate to that, you know
what they're going to do. There'sgoing to reroute stuff through super packs and
the money's going to get there anyway. So right, it is what it
is. Three twenty seven. Igot this thing that I saw on social
media. Is quite an interesting thing, and I think it's kind of a

(14:46):
battle of the sexist thing a littlebit. But I kind of found it
to be interesting based on interactions thatI've had in my past in talking about
women and their size. And trustme, we'll get to this and I'm
hopefully going to say this in away that's not going to sound super offensive,
but I just want your thoughts onit before we do that. Though,
I have something that I want todo for you, and we have

(15:09):
two more tickets to Barry Manilo togive away. He's the last pair that
I have. Barry Manilow is goingto be in Omaha for the final time
doing a show next Tuesday, thethirtieth, and if you want to be
a part of that show, youwant to see Barry Manilon in the last
time in Omaha you'll ever be ableto see him at cchi hel Center,
Omaha. You got to call innow. What I'm going to do is
Netflix seventy million dollars or seven milliondollars. Rather, seven million dollars was

(15:33):
given by a Netflix co founder tothe Kamala Harris campaign. I'm butchering that
in a few different ways, butthat's kind of the gist of the story
here. Let's just round that toseventy seventieth caller is going to get two
tickets to see Barry Manilow next Tuesdayat cchi Heu Center, Olmaha. Go
ahead, call in now four ohtwo five five eight eleven ten four h

(15:54):
two five five eight eleven ten seventiethcollar gets the last two pairs of tickets
are given away to the Barry ManiloShow on news radio eleven to ten kfab
Emery's songer share it with someone youon news Radio eleven ten kfab. Here
you go. I haven't bought anyNike merch or drank a budwise products since
they came out with what they supported. Asked Target how well the rainbow thing

(16:18):
went over last year? Yes,that's true. If enough folks drop Netflix,
their profitability will fall in. Itwill hurt. If you make your
politics public, you may well payfor it too. Ask older towns.
Sorry, ask older small town businessowners how well that goes? Sometimes thank
you for your time and enjoy theshow. Thank you. It's a good
point. It's a good point.All of those different people, right had

(16:41):
to kind of renounce or kind ofback up what they did in some way.
Nike didn't necessarily do that wholeheartedly,but Nike has such a plethora of
different athletes that they are like supportiveof that. I think a lot of
people just eventually recognize that they're stillkind of the market leader when it comes
to sporting equipment or supporting apparel,I should say, And I think that

(17:03):
helped them. Budweiser definitely took amassive hit, and there are way too
many options and the beer sales worldthat other people just I'm gonna grab a
Corse, no problem at all kindof thing, right, or a miller,
and people just did that and madethat their habit and have never gone
back, and they've utilized a lotof different types of celebrities like Peyton Manning.

(17:27):
Did you see the Peyton Manning andmarsh On Lynch commercial where they're drinking
bud Lights. They order bud Lightsbecause bud Light's silly official beer of the
NFL. And it starts with PeytonManning walks up to the bar and he
says, he walks up the barand says, I'll take a bud Light
and then there's like a biker guysitting next to him, like a motorcycle
biker guy, and he just kindof like looks at him, and that's

(17:47):
I think totally implied of like thatwould have been a kind of guy that
would have just been like I seebud Light and Budweiser as like the beer
that supports the transgender person on TikTok. They still are like, right,
and that they wanted to illustrate that, Oh well, Peyton Manning's got this,
and then Peyton Manning and Marshall lunch'sthere and they they buy around for
everybody in the bar and then theyall cheer. Right, that was kind

(18:11):
of their way to answer it.They know they flubbed up on that Target.
Of course, we talked about thisearlier before Pride Month started, that
they had to make actual adjustments totheir in store displays because people were actively
kind of protesting or not wanting toshop there based on the messaging that was
there. I again, businesses haveto make their own decision, and you
kind of have to be willing toreput you so on that. If you

(18:33):
want to be kind of like forwardthinking or more woke, like the Target
situation or the Budweiser thing, youhave to be willing to understand that people's
morals, their principles, their values. A lot of times there are going
to be other options for them togo to Budweiser and Target especially, there's
so many other options out there forpeople to support Netflix. I don't know
if the Netflix co founder doing thisis going to necessarily make a big wave

(18:56):
in that. In fact, Ithink if anything else, there might be
some people who identify themselves as Democratsthat didn't have Netflix. They were you
know, rocking on like Paramount Plusor Hulu or whatever, and they might
go and get themselves some Netflix afterthis. I don't know, but it
will be quite interesting to see.That's for sure, I had this this

(19:18):
thing, this other thing I sawon social media. Matt, can you
play along with me here? Ididn't tell you about this ahead of time
because I want your your real reaction. We're gonna role play. Okay.
You are going to be a guy, okay, and you are like a
social media guy, and you aregoing to ask me, and I'm going

(19:41):
to pretend to be a woman,and you're going to ask me do you
care how tall a guy is?Like when it comes to like this is
height of factor in the guys thatyou date. Okay, and then we're
gonna go step by step into thisinteraction. Okay, So so go ahead
and ask me. Okay, Sodo you care how tall a guy is

(20:06):
when you're deciding whether or not youwant to swipe? Right? Absolutely?
It is a huge deal to me. And now, okay, so what's
your initial reaction when you hear that? I feel sad for the short kings
out there, for the little guys, for the tom cruises wearing lifts just
so he can look at people inthe eye. Okay, So there,

(20:30):
that's not what happens here. NowAgain, this guy is a social media
I think he's an influencer. I'mnot unfamiliar with who it is. But
he says, he has a scalethere, you know, like a scale
that you would step on to measureyour weight. Okay, So the girl
says, yeah, a guy's height. Definitely, I think about a guy's

(20:51):
height. And then he says,okay, well step on the scale,
weigh yourself. And she's like,I'm not stepping on a scale, and
he's like, well why not,And she's like, a girl's weight shouldn't
matter. Girl's weight shouldn't matter,And he said, but you just told
me a guy's hype matters. Allright? Before I continue, what are
your thoughts on that that guy's ajerk? Is he? Yes? Why

(21:18):
to imposition a lady like that?That's just I don't know. There's a
lot of reasons. Now, Ihave to preface this. This is a
smaller woman. Certainly, whatever weightshe was was not going to be like
it. Again, I don't knowhow much she weighed, but she's not
the kind of person that's probably thinkingabout like I'm gonna be absolutely embarrassed because

(21:41):
she's probably going to weigh more thanlike one hundred and ten hundred twenty pounds.
But the point of what he's doinghere, and I'm sure you could
understand that putting this whole thing togetheris social media. Guy walks up to
girl, says, does hype matter? She says, absolutely, hype matters.
I care about how tall a guyis before I date him. And
he says, okay, well,then step on this because weight matters to
me. Now again, he's playinga part. I don't know how important

(22:04):
it is actually to him, butthe idea of okay, so you care
about how tall a guy is.Poor Tom cruises wearing lifts just to you
know, not look super duper shortout there in the world, having to
be really like cognizant about how tallthey are. Yeah, and he says,
well, if you care about aman's height, I care about a

(22:25):
woman's weight. And she says,well, you're a jerk. I'm not
stepping on that scale. Would whatI would say to this guy? And
let me give him a priceless pieceof advice, buddy, The fair is
in August. It's not a fairworld for guys and gals. There's a
reason why on these online dating appsthere's all kinds of guys, not as

(22:47):
many gals. And you know what, you can read articles about this.
If you're a guy on an onlinedating app, you're probably gonna get like
a like a trickle of interest.But if you're a girl, it's gonna
be floodgates. That's why a lotof these apps set themselves up to be
more protective of a woman's experience onthose on those apps. From behaviorally speaking,

(23:10):
men generally are much creepier and havea lot more un elicited Yeah,
communication to a female than a femalewould do to a male. That's pretty
That's pretty evident. Like people whoare saying like, oh, I wish
the world was fair, I justshrug and say, well, buddy,
it's not. Because men and womenare different, we have different dating experiences.

(23:30):
Case in point, if I waswalking past a construction site and it
was only ladies working that day,and they were whistling and cat calling me,
I'd do a quick turl and saytwirling say thank you, madam.
My confidence would be boosted. Dude, I'm walking over there and I'm saying,
what are you ladies up to?After you get off work? I'd
be interested. I like what yousee. I would suddenly turn into Chris

(23:52):
Farley in Tommy Boy and just kindof you know the scene which ways the
weight room, you know, likeI'd turn into that, you know,
and a little coat, you know, all that stuff. But you're saying
the women who get cat called walkingpast a construction site because they're worried about
walking down an alley later with oneof those guys following, I'm not worried

(24:14):
about that. No, I'm notthinking twice about that. And that goes
to, you know, the physicalitypart of being a man versus being a
woman, plus the behavioral things thatwe already know about men versus women.
Most of the time, it's notone hundred percent of the time. There
are women that are predators as well. But yeah, we're stereotyping it,
but it's an accurate stereotype I thinkfor the most part. Yeah, but
what's the difference between a woman basicallysaying straight up, I care about how

(24:37):
tall a guy is. I willnot date a guy shorter than six feet
tall, versus a guy having thesame type of parameters on a woman's weight.
I would say that it's her lossfor being that narrow sided or having
that kind of tunnel vision, butit's also her right to feel that way,
as is it is a gentleman's rightto feel the way he does towards
who he's interested in dating, allof our right to be discerning. But

(25:02):
society would say that the guy isa jerk for putting her in that position.
Yes, okay, but a guyit would be a jerk for caring
at all about her weight, becauseshe follows that up and says you should
only care about what's inside a person, because that's what she says you should
care about, just like who agirl is, not how much a girl
weighs. And he comes right backand says, you should just care about
how a guy is on the insideof how tall he is. Is that

(25:26):
not a fair assessment? Again,society would say that it's not equal.
Those are not equal. They kindof feel equal when it's like sure,
he goes about it to get clickson his social media account, But the
actual contents of the discussion there actuallyI think has some merit. As guys
are being villainized for having physical preferencesand women who have had physical preferences on

(25:48):
men for as long as men havehad for women. That hasn't generally come
up as anything negative because we arejust enjoying the attention. No matter how
it comes to us, I don'tknow something. Upon her break, if
you have something to think about,call us four h two five five eight
eleven ten four two five four htwo five five eight eleven ten excuse me,
news radio eleven ten kfab. Emory'ssung on news radio eleven ten kfab.

(26:15):
Hey, how important is it fora guy to be a certain height?
And she said it's very important toher, Like she she definitely wants
to date a guy of a certainheight and noes shorter than that. And
he says, okay, well,then get on the scale, and she's
like, I'm not getting on thescale. You should care only about what
a woman's insides are, like,you shouldn't care about what she looks like
or how much she weighs. Andhe's like, well, you quite literally
just told me you would only datea guy who was a certain height.

(26:38):
You know, how is that anydifferent society. He'll tell you that those
two different things, and those havebeen accepted in different realms for many decades,
that well, women only really likeguys taller than them or of a
certain height. But a guy whocares about the weight of a woman or
even generally the appearance of a womanis just kind of a jerk. I'm
just thrown out there. How differentare these things? Teresa's on her phone

(27:00):
at A four two, five,five, eight eleven ten. Teresa,
what are your thoughts on this?Hello? Eddy, I may have lost
you. No, ye, you'reI'm right here, Teresa, Okay,
I'm right here. Go ahead.No. Well, I think everybody has
a right to decide who they wantto day, what they look like.

(27:21):
I will say that a man cannotcontrol how tall he is, but people
can't control how much they weigh.Mmmmm, wow, that's pretty interesting there,
Teresa. What would you be yourresponse to somebody who says, well,
in my family, like we havelike a big bonedness, or I
have a slow metabolism, or Ihave some sort of you know, like

(27:45):
a diabetic or some condition that makesthem heavier than they probably would be otherwise.
How would you explain, like,like, how would you how would
you explain that? I guess Idon't believe any of that. By large,
firsts, few people are overweight becausethey have some metabolic problem. You
know, I need to lose fifteenpounds. That's just how it is,

(28:08):
the only way it's gonna happen ismove more he love you know what,
You're right, I don't really carethat somebody wants to date somebody taller,
is shorter, skinny or you're know, not skinny. I you know,
it's everybody's right today who they want. Yeah, both ways. I think

(28:30):
that's a good point. Teresa,thanks so much for listening to us.
All right, she's she makes agood point. Do you Is it fair
that men are told that they're animalsand jerks kind of more in general than
women, Right, Like a lotof women out there might have been cheated
on a time or two. Theysay, well, all men are jerks

(28:51):
until you know, like you cankind of make them not a jerk or
something along those lines. And howmuch of that goes into one of these
conversations where it's just like a guythat even mentions a physical attribute of a
woman is kind of just a jerkby society standards. We're both dudes,
so it's hard for us to saythis without sounding incredibly biased. But I
do think that that's quite unfair becausewhen Brad Pitt shows up on a screen

(29:17):
when he was in his heyday,what woman wasn't interested? You know what
I'm saying he's fit, he's handsome, he's got a good face, he's
got a lot of charisma. That'sthe kind of guy a woman wishes that
could just manifest hisself right in frontof her. Yeah, society said that
was okay to you know, fawnover him or even their teenage crushes with
like one direction of the Backstreet Boys. Yet here we are, we're talking,

(29:40):
you know about just random regular dudeslike us, who aren't going to
get the cat calls from women justrandomly like eyeballing us. We'd love the
attention otherwise, but we just don't. How fair is it that society has
just basically made us monsters if wethink even a little bit about a woman
and her attractiveness versus the other wayaround the fairs in August, I don't

(30:03):
know, there are things that well, it's it's a big conversation, but
there are things. There are silverlinings to both situations, so you don't
think it's all bad. How manyugly dudes out there with beautiful women do
you find? Usually they're making prettygood money. There's yeah, you're you

(30:26):
know, actually, you know whatlooks don't matter as much for dudes.
That's a pretty big silver lining thatwe got. I guess that's fair.
We'll talk more about this and plentymore on the Way News Radio eleven ten kfab
