00:00:00.000 Again, you know, we just have this trend towards not living in reality, you know.
00:00:05.220 And, you know, going back to the body positivity movement, what happened to PE?
00:00:12.240 Did you guys have PE here?
00:00:14.360 Yeah.
00:00:15.520 We used to, like, mess around in PE.
00:00:18.140 Yeah, I have no idea what it's like now.
00:00:20.520 They used to, like, actually, it's interesting if you look at videos from, like, the 70s and 80s.
00:00:25.600 Yeah.
00:00:26.000 They used to have all these, like, push-up contests.
00:00:28.100 You had to make PE requirements.
00:00:30.660 Yeah, yeah.
00:00:31.260 And now it's just, like, games.
00:00:32.900 There's no real, they got rid of PE in high school.
00:00:35.140 It's not very competitive.
00:00:36.620 No.
00:00:36.960 No.
00:00:37.460 Okay.
00:00:37.900 Not physically challenging, which probably is the point.
00:00:40.720 Okay.
00:00:41.240 And so there's a video that's going viral from the 1960s talking about PE in school.
00:00:46.960 Pull it up.
00:00:52.140 People are shocked at what American high school gym class looked like in the 1960s.
00:00:56.700 This footage is from one of the 4,000 U.S. high schools that followed La Sierra's physical education program that was pushed to be the standard model by JFK.
00:01:05.120 According to the La Sierra physical education standards that were outlined in their 1966 handbook, the minimum push-ups that a student should be able to do is 16, and they should have at least a 7.5-minute mile run.
00:01:16.800 Considering most modern Americans struggle to even complete five push-ups, this 16 minimum is quite shocking.
00:01:23.520 The top group that was outlined in the handbook is Blue Team, and to be a part of this, you had to be able to perform 12 handstand push-ups.
00:01:30.940 JFK, man.
00:01:32.220 Isn't that crazy?
00:01:33.380 That's crazy.
00:01:34.480 You were in such good shape.
00:01:36.040 I think now people will think that's like they're preparing for the army or something, but that's just in high school PE.
00:01:42.280 Just your typical high school gym class.
00:01:45.000 That's amazing.
00:01:46.280 It's interesting to see beach pictures from men too, because now you see like so many overweight, chubby, big people, but then everyone was in shape.
00:01:56.080 Yeah.
00:01:57.340 And it's like...
00:01:57.880 Healthy, happy.
00:01:59.020 It says when men used to be men.
00:02:00.800 And all right, ladies, we're obese too, all right?
00:02:05.020 That's all right, but yeah.
00:02:06.780 Kids today would cry if you were to do this.
00:02:09.560 True.
00:02:09.900 I would cry.
00:02:10.440 I couldn't do that.
00:02:11.320 Oh.
00:02:11.800 I'm not.
00:02:12.300 But this shit's done.
00:02:13.860 Of course.
00:02:14.940 Yeah, it's probably sad.
00:02:15.860 Of course.
00:02:17.960 Why do you think we're so fat today?
00:02:19.980 What do you think happened?
00:02:23.600 There's just so much too.
00:02:25.020 It's just, I don't know, food's a lot crapper now.
00:02:28.680 Yeah.
00:02:28.800 Come on.
00:02:29.480 And they say, isn't it, like, oh, I think one of the reasons, there was this fat YouTuber, she was talking about, well, I'm overweight because I can't afford good food.
00:02:41.280 I was like, come on.
00:02:43.560 You know, you can make your own meals and stuff, or we can go into all the boring bits, but the food's really crap.
00:02:50.860 What the heck is PE now?
00:02:52.540 Everywhere you see, fat people are being glorified.
00:02:55.540 Well, and how many of those took to order takeout that can't afford food?
00:03:00.360 Yeah, exactly.
00:03:00.880 It's so expensive.
00:03:02.140 Exactly.
00:03:03.740 Yeah.
00:03:04.260 And I just think it's a bunch of excuses.
00:03:06.040 We think alike.
00:03:09.360 We think, like, this is why you're a fan favorite.
00:03:14.020 Yeah.
00:03:15.880 Yeah, and this is what drives me nuts.
00:03:19.780 It's like, it's almost sad.
00:03:21.920 It's, like, eerie to look back on because, really, I think that the food's been poisoned because of the love of money.
00:03:27.920 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:28.360 And even, like, you know, they're saying birth control's, like, in the water now.
00:03:31.920 Have you heard that?
00:03:33.680 They're saying, like, basically, like, all of the birth control pollutes the water.
00:03:37.100 Are you drinking tap water?
00:03:39.080 I usually drink bottles.
00:03:40.780 Yes.
00:03:41.420 Stay away from tap water, people.
00:03:43.640 Bottles.
00:03:44.160 Yeah.
00:03:44.500 But, yeah, I mean, I will cook with it sometimes.
00:03:47.640 I'm sorry.
00:03:48.280 I know.
00:03:48.720 I know.
00:03:49.380 I'm sorry.
00:03:49.920 I'm sorry, guys.
00:03:51.160 I'm sorry.
00:03:52.080 Boil it first.
00:03:53.140 What?
00:03:53.500 Boil it first.
00:03:54.320 I do, I do boil.
00:03:55.280 Okay, good.
00:03:55.720 I do boil the water.
00:03:56.600 But, but...
00:03:58.360 You know, but even that, it's, like, what caused that?
00:04:01.120 The love of money.
00:04:01.980 Yeah.
00:04:02.240 They can make a whole industry off of birth control.
00:04:05.660 And you know what's sad?
00:04:06.580 I had a nanny back in the day who was, like, I still remember her to this day as one of,
00:04:10.960 like, my favorite nannies.
00:04:12.500 I was so close with this nanny.
00:04:14.360 And she ended up not being able to have kids because of a birth control shot.
00:04:17.420 Oh, my God.
00:04:18.260 But she never had kids.
00:04:19.140 She got married.
00:04:20.400 That's so sad.
00:04:21.340 She's still married, but she could never have kids.
00:04:22.720 Oh, man.
00:04:24.380 But it's, like, all of, it just seems like all of these problems are...
00:04:28.360 Like, it's caused, really, by the love of money.
00:04:30.920 Yeah.
00:04:32.060 And you said it yourself.
00:04:33.360 What did you tell me before the show about the lawyers, the reason they did law school?
00:04:37.700 Oh, yeah.
00:04:38.120 It's just money.
00:04:39.380 Yeah.
00:04:39.680 But you said they asked your class that, right?
00:04:41.420 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:42.100 And I was the only one that was like, oh, you know, I want to do the right thing.
00:04:45.720 But I didn't say it because, you know, I don't want now it to be singled out and stuff.
00:04:50.780 Yeah.
00:04:51.220 You're trying to graduate.
00:04:52.680 I know.
00:04:55.460 I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, money.
