Transcript

00:00:00.000 I cannot stand a lot of these movements that have come up in the last couple of years.
00:00:06.260 And one of those I've seen is really this push towards fat chicks in magazines.
00:00:14.880 Yes.
00:00:15.860 So Victoria's Secret, I used to love.
00:00:19.660 I mean, I would never watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show, I'm not going to lie.
00:00:23.220 But I used to see.
00:00:24.440 We all did, come on.
00:00:25.500 No, I never.
00:00:26.420 But I saw the clips after.
00:00:28.080 I didn't have a TV growing up.
00:00:29.560 Oh, wow.
00:00:30.020 Yeah, so we didn't have TV.
00:00:32.040 But I would still see, I had social media, so I would see it on Facebook.
00:00:36.660 I loved being humble.
00:00:41.580 That's what this was there for.
00:00:43.040 Do you know what I mean?
00:00:43.480 Like, you're supposed to look at the TV and feel a little bad about yourself.
00:00:49.080 I felt like it motivated me.
00:00:51.100 We would print out the pictures, put them on the fridge.
00:00:54.940 I would want to get on the treadmill more.
00:00:56.780 Do you know what I mean?
00:00:57.460 Yeah.
00:00:57.660 Well, you got the height, though.
00:00:59.120 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:00.300 At least.
00:01:01.780 Yes, but come on, they're pretty hot.
00:01:04.840 You know what I mean?
00:01:05.260 Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:06.160 I mean, I'm not going to pretend I ever stood a chance against the Victoria's Secret.
00:01:10.880 But they're too hot, though, isn't it?
00:01:12.320 That's the issue that they're finding.
00:01:15.020 Well, that's what I've noticed.
00:01:17.100 There's this whole trend of the women getting less hot on TV to be more relatable.
00:01:20.620 And I would argue it's because they're making movies and media for women now instead of men.
00:01:25.600 Yeah.
00:01:26.440 Because all the men movies, like Transformers, who was the chicken there?
00:01:30.580 Yeah.
00:01:31.800 It was Megan Fox.
00:01:33.080 Oh, yeah.
00:01:33.380 Oh, yeah.
00:01:33.720 Yeah, of course.
00:01:34.380 Yeah.
00:01:34.680 And now she's kind of washed up now.
00:01:36.580 Yeah.
00:01:37.760 And Margot Robbie, like in her prime, was in Wolf of Wall Street.
00:01:41.220 And now she's past her prime.
00:01:42.740 She's in movies for women.
00:01:43.980 Yeah.
00:01:44.560 So now she's in Barbie.
00:01:46.080 Yep.
00:01:46.380 So, yeah, so Victoria's Secret made a huge blunder when they decided to put fat chicks.
00:01:56.200 How could they not see this coming?
00:01:57.860 I don't know.
00:01:58.640 Like, that's what they were, that's what you were known for.
00:02:00.760 Yeah.
00:02:01.280 I want to be humbled.
00:02:02.960 I want to see the video and think, yes, that is, well, because, you know, I have a little bit of respect.
00:02:10.080 I have some respect, actually, for real models.
00:02:13.000 Yeah.
00:02:13.400 Now, I'm not, I know nowadays they're all IG models, but I'm like, you know, I used to watch America's Next Top Model.
00:02:20.180 Like, some of that stuff looks kind of hard.
00:02:21.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:22.280 All the posing, like, you're supposed to be the epitome of, like, elegance and grace.
00:02:26.840 And now they've just let.
00:02:28.920 It's just a joke, isn't it?
00:02:30.240 Like, imagine if they let average basketball players into the NBA.
00:02:35.260 Like, the Victoria's Secret used to be the NBA of modeling.
00:02:39.000 Right, right.
00:02:39.520 And now they just let, they're like, you get in.
00:02:41.540 They're like Oprah.
00:02:42.100 You get in.
00:02:43.720 Everyone gets it.
00:02:44.720 I don't know why they haven't asked me yet.
00:02:47.940 But, okay.
00:02:49.880 But anyway, so now Victoria's Secret is going back on that and ditching woke and plus size models due to a decline in sales.
00:02:57.200 So let's pull it up.
00:02:57.540 Yes.
00:02:58.560 Ugh.
00:02:59.380 God.
00:03:00.720 Oh my God.
00:03:01.760 That's so bad.
00:03:03.660 Why would they be, like.
00:03:05.500 That's so bad.
00:03:08.640 Is that two dudes in there?
00:03:10.160 Yeah, man.
00:03:11.040 What does that tell you, though?
00:03:13.660 They don't care.
00:03:14.460 It's the money.
00:03:15.480 They thought, you know, it's trending.
00:03:17.520 Let's jump on that.
00:03:18.760 And then as soon as they decline in sales, you're out of here.
00:03:22.080 Nope, nope.
00:03:22.500 Let's see the new one.
00:03:24.040 Oh.
00:03:24.380 Yes.
00:03:24.700 Oh, they're back.
00:03:27.160 You see that?
00:03:27.740 Look at that.
00:03:28.200 They're beautiful.
00:03:29.640 They're stunning.
00:03:30.500 Yeah.
00:03:31.040 And at least, like, at least they could give the normal chick something to strive to.
00:03:36.160 The same way it's, you don't see men that are average basketball players protesting the NBA and saying, no.
00:03:44.800 No, take that down.
00:03:46.720 Exactly.
00:03:46.960 They're too good.
00:03:47.780 I don't want to feel bad about myself.
00:03:49.880 It's giving me trauma.
00:03:52.640 Oh my God.
00:03:53.520 No, you said the word.
00:03:56.240 I don't know.
00:03:57.160 So, but, like, I don't know.
00:04:00.560 That's just so, this is beautiful.
00:04:02.580 Yeah.
00:04:03.020 Beautiful.
00:04:04.220 And it doesn't take away, just, like, just because we have to look at the best people or because they show the most beautiful women in media, it doesn't mean you're ugly.
00:04:14.680 Nope.
00:04:14.880 It doesn't mean you're worthless.
00:04:16.740 It just means there's hotter chicks than you.
00:04:18.980 Yeah.
00:04:19.580 Water is wet.
00:04:20.840 The sky is blue.
00:04:22.320 Yeah.
00:04:22.700 Don't take it personal.
00:04:23.660 Like, I mean, they'll be recycled out for the next round of 22.
00:04:27.800 I'll be pissed, though, if they ask me, like, can you come back?
00:04:30.760 I'm like, what the hell?
00:04:32.240 But yes, I will.
