00:00:00.000
Because beautiful women will go to an A-level city, where midwomen will go to generally a B-level city.
00:00:06.280
Because midwomen can't compete in the A-levels.
00:00:10.780
Because she's really close to beautiful, but her face is just a little bit...
00:00:16.500
Like, she's like, in some pictures, I think she's beautiful.
00:00:25.900
But I'll just see ones like this occasionally, where I'm like, hmm.
00:00:40.260
It's like another world to me, because I just don't think about people like that.
00:00:44.280
Like, when I see celebrities, they're just like...
00:00:46.240
They are this abstract concept of, this is probably a beautiful woman.
00:00:50.000
Like, when I see even YouTubers and influencers, like most influencers I know are beautiful people.
00:00:58.640
No offense, I just can't trust your ratings after the rating you did, Pisha Payne.
00:01:05.040
Okay, wait, I'll give you a more acceptable one.
00:01:18.640
She's pretty, but I would not put her above in...
00:01:27.500
She's the best rating you've given, but I need to see a body picture.
00:01:40.500
I'm telling you, you're not going to find an influencer with a female audience that's
00:01:46.100
Women feel too icky when they see women too hot.
00:02:00.780
Men subtract more for women being flat than women do.
00:02:04.680
So, for women, it's skinny first, curves second.
00:02:13.840
If I ever forget or do bad on a rating, it's usually because I overrated skinny and underrated
00:02:25.960
Like, when I think of like, oh, that's a beautiful person.
00:02:32.940
I'm just like, oh, that's a really beautiful girl.
00:02:34.680
Well, I do a lot of like mid-watch on this show.
00:02:41.240
Like, I talk about the trends that beautiful women do.
00:02:44.380
Because beautiful women will go to an A-level city where mid-women will go to generally a
00:02:50.540
Because mid-women can't compete in the A-levels.
00:02:57.080
So, I gotta rate you to see what you can get, you know, in the open market.
00:03:01.180
And I would say, P.M., maybe that you've grown up in the age of mids.
00:03:09.300
I mean, people try to say that, like, who's that Millie Bobby Brown?
00:03:23.160
So, I think the days of having nines and tens in movies was literally before your time.
00:03:28.660
Like, we had the Pamela Anderson's and stuff back in my day.
00:03:32.000
But, like, the women, the Zendaya's and the Zoe Kravitz's and the Millie Bobby Brown's,
00:03:37.480
they're like sixes and six, maybe sevens at best.
00:03:43.940
As most of you know, I have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years.
00:03:49.060
But I need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about.
00:03:54.200
It's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and OnlyFans hoes
00:03:58.360
causing the societal issues that we discuss on this show.
00:04:02.020
Did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors?
00:04:07.080
This often includes estrogen from birth control.
00:04:10.200
The average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week.
00:04:14.080
That's five grams of plastic a week on average.
00:04:16.860
So, it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what the average was 50 years ago.
00:04:25.500
And without a course correction, we are headed towards extinction.
00:04:28.360
No matter how based you are, you need to be naturally boosting your testosterone.
00:04:32.060

00:05:27.260
I don't agree with you, but like why do we need an achievement?
00:05:31.240
Okay, so that's like, I'm going to tell you the equivalent.
00:05:35.180
So the equivalent of that for men is like, why don't we have people in the rec league playing in the NBA?
00:06:04.600
That's like saying, why, like that would be like if the men came forward and they said,
00:06:11.680
Can we have more rec league players in the Premier League?
00:06:23.940
I don't know if I'd agree with that because I think diversity is really good to have.
00:06:37.580
So men like hierarchy where women always want it to be egalitarian.
00:06:41.220
They want everyone to be equal and like feel good.
00:06:47.420
Like when I, I don't know, you might've had this as a ginger kid.
00:06:49.940
Like when I was a ginger kid growing up, I loved the little mermaid.
00:06:54.860
And so I think about like, I think minorities anymore.
00:06:57.840
I'm like, you know, I feel like, do you know, we, we keep getting replaced.
00:07:02.860
Like all of the ginger women, Spider-Man man was replaced.
00:07:07.460
The little mermaid was like, there's a horse to go.
00:07:11.540
I just, there's a redhead genocide in Hollywood right now.
00:07:15.620
I think it's nice to see people like you on screen and like, as a ginger, I feel that
00:07:19.840
So I can imagine like if I was an ethnic minority or whatever, I would definitely feel that way
00:07:34.280
I want an eight plus, no mid, give me a ginger that makes me feel bad about myself.
00:07:43.560
So I think anything that you have to be successful at or anything you make money at
00:07:53.680
I don't want to do it, but I have to do it to make money.
00:07:56.500
So I don't mind the fact that female models have to be like five foot 11 and 125 pounds.
00:08:18.920
If you want to be a supermodel, it should take sacrifice.
00:08:21.620
I want to see you eating coffee, cotton balls and fricking smoking cigarettes and drinking
00:08:30.560
Anything that requires a lot of money should be hard.
00:08:41.020
I don't, I don't know why you think that though.
00:08:43.340
Like, I just don't relate to that feeling of like, these people need to work hard.
00:08:47.660
Like, I think if you have success, you have success and that's good for you.
00:09:02.420
Like, I don't even think it's about working for success.
00:09:06.120
It's not, it's like the issue with a lot of this, like body positivity and diversity.
00:09:10.120
Like, did you see that beauty pageant, like I think a year ago where a plus size woman
00:09:14.100
won first place over somebody skinny, like, like the point is that the plus size woman
00:09:20.140
basically just showed up, put on a pretty dress and then won first place.
00:09:23.800
Whereas the person who was skinny, she did a calorie deficit.
00:09:28.140
She worked out, she went on walks, she woke up early so she could work out before she
00:09:38.280
It's the same thing with like all the diversity that's going on.
00:09:44.640
But you're more likely to get into that university if you're black or of another minority rather
00:09:50.700
My, one of my friends, one of my really good friends got rejected from that university,
00:09:56.940
She had great test scores, but a different person I know didn't have a 4.0, but they
00:10:04.060
So it's not about, it's not about, um, that just sounds like such an anecdotal thing.
00:10:09.840
I don't want to get into like race debates because one, I live in England and in America,
00:10:14.360
I think there's quite a different environment over there.
00:10:15.960
But like, I, yeah, I don't, I don't want to get into that.
00:10:19.180
I'll talk about body positivity, but like when it comes to, yeah, but I think she's
00:10:23.460
just about the, yeah, it's just about like the inclusivity.
00:10:28.320
It's the same thing with like, we shouldn't have fat people winning beauty pageants because
00:10:31.480
the skinny people work 10 times harder to win and they lose to fat people because we're
00:10:35.400
saying fat people are allowed in these things and they should win.
00:10:38.980
And we're saying that they are a 10, even though they're a 2.
00:10:44.480
And I think that that, like, I think that's cope.
00:10:49.740
If something is based solely on like a bikini round and this and that, like the objective
00:10:54.800
standard is like, no, the plus size person should not win that.
00:10:59.540
If there's like positive discrimination towards these people, which is what I'm assuming you're
00:11:06.200
Like no, like fat person should win the biggest loser.
00:11:09.920
But, um, I lost my, like, I was a plus size model and I lost my plus size modeling contract
00:11:16.480
Like, you know, it's, it's, it's more about representation and clothes.
00:11:21.140
And a lot of the modeling I did was wardrobe modeling, which is when you go in and you
00:11:24.580
are a set size and they just do the clothes to you.
00:11:27.960
Like, it's not to do with like, oh, I don't want to see this fat model on my screen.
00:11:32.260
No, but it is indirectly though, because women are buying.
00:11:35.680
And so it just, if you follow the female dollar, it makes sense because there's going to be
00:11:44.480
And women can't deal with like women on screen being hotter.
00:11:48.540
So they'll just have more jobs for fat women and fat models.
00:11:52.760
And the sad part about it is, um, a guy will see Chris Evans and Avengers with his shirt
00:12:00.020
off and be like, and it'll inspire him to go to the gym, right?
00:12:04.420
A woman will see Pia here and be like, and feel threatened and be like, oh, she shouldn't
00:12:12.040
They'll see Scarlett Johansson or some attractive woman and feel threatened or triggered by it.
00:12:18.740
So why can men be inspired, inspired by men that are in shape and have ads, but women
00:12:26.080
Um, I just, yeah, that was going to be, in my opinion, sorry, sorry, I was going to say,
00:12:34.480
When you said earlier that you lost all your Instagram likes when you got skinny, it's
00:12:40.340
So all these women were liking your pictures because they're like, oh, I'm prettier than
00:12:47.280
And now these women don't want to have anything to do with you because they feel intimidated by
00:12:51.460
you because you got skinny, because you lost the weight, because you're prettier
00:12:56.620
I'm sure that there is a degree of that within people, but I think it's quite pessimistic
00:13:06.240
Like I don't feel intimidated when I feel I see an attractive woman and I didn't when
00:13:11.560
Like I had a couple of fat friends, but all of my friends were beautiful, thin women, you
00:13:15.500
know, and they still are because they're the same friends.
00:13:20.380
But like, I don't know, I just I didn't feel that way.
00:13:23.240
I think if you're comfortable in yourself, you don't feel that way.
00:13:27.360
Like, I think it's great to have everyone on TV.
00:13:30.180
I like seeing incredibly attractive people as much as I like seeing people that represent
00:13:35.220
Well, I don't think you can pick out incredibly attractive people based on who you selected,
00:13:43.800
Um, that's, I just, it's pretty normal for women.
00:13:46.840
If you picked them, like you picked out the most attractive people ever to make a TV show
00:13:53.740
You said I picked out the most attractive girls I could to put on the thumbnails.
00:13:58.040
Like I, you know, I wouldn't ever have anything against those women.
00:14:00.620
And if I thought they had something positive to say, I would follow them and encourage
00:14:05.120
You know, I just think people need to be more comfortable with themselves.
00:14:07.560
Yeah, well, I'll let, I'll close out on that point, um, because we are about to hit the
00:14:14.560
two hour mark, but yeah, thank you so much for coming.
00:14:20.600
I was thinking your opinions would have changed a little bit, but it seems like they're pretty
00:14:29.180
Um, do you have any final thoughts you want to tell the crowd, the people?
00:14:40.980
Uh, actually, I actually love, you could actually put all your beliefs like that because, um,
00:15:12.140
I actually don't know who the other competitor is in America, but Trump's kind of off the
00:15:20.060
Anyway, I feel like the chat's really like me and now I'm gonna.
00:15:25.400
Your English, your opinion about Trump doesn't count.
00:15:28.460
So, you know, we're actually looking to do more debate shows like once or twice a week.
00:15:33.000
So we'd love to have you back if you do want to argue some points.
00:15:54.240
I have my sister on the line, my brother's friend, and now I'm thin.
00:16:15.820
You should have got him on to talk about body positivity again.
00:16:23.640
Yeah, you should want to be in good health so the people that love you on this planet,
00:16:29.180
you can be here for them to love you as long as possible.
00:16:32.340
And you're going to be here longer enough to do that if you are not a fat slob whale.
00:16:43.600
Don't discount all of the work you've done because it kind of sounds like you're doing that.
00:16:48.480
And also, there's going to be a time where you're going to have to stop caping for these
00:16:53.900
people because they will not reciprocate the support that you have for them back.
00:16:57.120
They're going to eat you alive because you care about your health.
00:17:07.480
If you have a family and you're in shape, they're going to eat you alive.
00:17:11.080
So just watch out because you're giving support to people that want to support you back.
