Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's a Been and Skin Show ninety seven
point one the Eagle, and we're talking about this conversation
of this in the stands guy for the Atlanta Braves,
he goes up into the stands and he's talking to
two youngish blondes, you know, probably in their twenties or thirties.
And then the guy's Garrett get her number, and he
ends up getting their number, and they swap numbers, and
(00:20):
it's become this big controversy. And I think that it's
a super interesting conversation for a million different reasons. And
one is the tenor of men asking for numbers and
saying women are attractive and all that. All of that
has changed out there in the world. One of the
things that I love about our show is our show
(00:43):
has stayed irreverent, and I think one of the reasons
it works is that we have a badass lady riding
with us in Christina that's fun and has a good
sense of humor and it's irreverent. But if we were
to cross the line, she would tell us, hey, you can't,
you can't down like that, And in a lot of
ways she feels like our sister.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, I don't know if that's fair of me to say,
totally fair for you not. And she's quicker across the
line than us.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, she's She's what I would call she's what I
would call, with all due respect, I would say, I
would use the B word in a nice way. She's
a down ass bee, but that might come off too much.
So she's like a down ass homie.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
She's a bad bitch.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She's a bad bitch. She's a down ass home. She's
the coolest lady in the universe, and she plays guitar.
And so I feel like, in a lot of ways,
Christine is one of us, Yes, And so I'm comfortable
doing this type of humor with her.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And we try to read her too, because if she
was ever uncomfortable, we would be appalled with ourselves. We'd
be like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. So we're
always monitoring, not monitoring, but yes, monitoring.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
To me one of the and again, it's like, there's
always these wild swings in this stuff. But to me,
I don't think there's anything wrong with masculinity. I don't
think there's anything wrong with the courting process. I don't
think there's anything wrong with sexual energy between two people
and people pursuing it. But that's how we've sustained life
(02:02):
for all these years. What is problematic is entitlement to
men and a guy like James Franco suddenly like forcing
extras on the set.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, you have to be like this.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And I think where it's got to get is like
if these two ladies were clearly uncomfortable with it, then
that guy's got to back off. If you watch the video,
she got down her phones like, oh, it's that who
wants the number? Huh?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
She's playful with it.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And so if she's playful with it and he's playful
with it, why are people on the outside so upset
that people have chemistry out in the world.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think they're bringing their other bagga shouldn't. Now wait
a second, how does he have that job? You know,
it's hard for people to get that job here. He
is a white man. How does he have that job
in this state?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Whatever? I get it. Yeah, and it's it's it's not
fair for women. I get it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's not so if you project that and bring that
to the party, I get it. Or if you say, wait,
that's not professional. I want only professionalism in my sports. Broadcast. Okay, well,
don't send a guy into the stands to do hijinks, right,
maybe don't even have him on the broadcast. Then, don't
have anyone doing that unless it's serious. But I thought
they sent him out there to goof off.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I think that's And again I don't watch their broadcast,
but that's kind of the idea I get too, is
that's the tone of what he's supposed to be doing
is having fun. And that's why the play by play
guy and the color guy are having fun with him
because it's supposed to be fun. And I can kind
of speak on this a little bit because my role
on the Mavericks broadcast is to go add fun to
the thing. But I'm just being perfectly frank. I've pulled
(03:35):
way back in the last six or seven years on
things that I would say and how a reverend I
would be because I can be a reverend here. That's
what our show is. I view that differently because of
how public discourse has changed. And there's a million times
I'm telling you guys, we show something in the stands
(03:55):
in man, I am biting my time.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Right, Well, I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I mean the way I feel is I don't begrudge
anyone for feeling the way they want to feel. Whatever
experiences you bring into your situation or what you're bringing
with you, and that may make you feel a certain way.
And I'm sure I could sit down with somebody who
could convince me either way. But my initial instinct is
watching that is man. I did not see what I
was expecting to see. I thought it was some huge
controversy where he did something exceedingly inappropriate, but I felt
(04:22):
like it was fairly pedestrian.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
What did y'all think?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I mean, I just I know baseball people like their
stuff a little bit more serious, So again I thought
it was a little inappropriate. I think they did want
him to get their number jokingly, but maybe not at
that moment right there on air, But it was quick.
He didn't cross a line.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
What did you think, Katie?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Now? Dare they use the power of a TV camera
as a power dynamic to talk about tricking these women?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Disgusting? I say, off with his head?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Okay, well, but imagine if she would have turned him down,
everyone would have been calling her a beat Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Hold onist, loser too, Okay, but think about but think
about how different where it's to me at where it's
very problematic, as if she put her hand up and said,
now he's like, wait, come on, give me your nut
like that.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Happen, So she was.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
She was rolling with it, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The only people I've seen that were mad or female
sports reporters. I've not seen any which again, but I
haven't been looking for it either. Bad Bad which is
an article that hasn't all like they've aggregated all the
female sports reports who have that job, are going this
would be different.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Invited that. Yeah, that's fair. I think that's fair.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Fascinating discussion, all right? Coming up next? Uh should porn
be taught in school? Were killing one school belief? So
you've got to hear this story. Don't go anywhere. That's
next before we get there. Orchard dot com if you
