If I had the least bit of like, okay, well he's not taking
me seriously as a radio personality. If it would a radio personality at that
time, as opposed to a journalist, I would have played back. Right.
We definitely aren't offended by the chick comment because that is our brand running.
Hello, Welcome to another deep dive edition of the Chicks on the Right
podcast, where we're going to talk about something that went down with a radio
broadcaster earlier this week and the fallout from it. But first we want to
remind everybody that there's the best special happening at genuesel dot com slash Chicks right
now, where you can get in the most popular package, the trio of
dark Spot Correcting. Amazingness. It works, you guys. I used it
religiously. I probably should just use it all over my face, but then
I'd be afraid that, like I don't know, things, like all over
I would just disappear, like I may just disappear like that's how effective it
is. It's good stuff and the trifecta because obviously they have the dark Spot
corrector that's the magic, right, but what enhances that magic is using the
crystals microderm abrasion before the dark spot correct, then applying the dark spot correct,
and then following that up with the amazing buttery soft x V cream.
It's delicious, it's so good best. All their stuff is fantastic, it
really is. And you can get it at seventy percent off right now when
you visit genusl dot com. That's g E n u cel dot com.
Slash chicks and then make sure to use code chicks do it all right.
So, I admittedly I had not ever heard of Don Geronimo until this week.
Fantastic radio really good, have to admit, yeah, h and I
he is a quite popular radio host. He and his sidekick, who I
think goes by the name of Crash something or other also also a great radio
name. Yeah yeah, yeah. And so they were at the commander training
camp reporting on that from whatever their little radio booth was. That was kind
of like overlooking the field as the commanders were taking the field and doing their
practice stuff and their training stuff, and they happened to notice Charlotte McBride,
who apparently they did not know. And that's another name I did not learn
until this week. Charlotte McBride is a local. I guess DC sports reporter
has been a sports reporter for quite some time, very good at her job
and also dropped dead gorgeous, and so it's and weirdly enough, she looks
a little bit like Barbie. I know, it's so weird weird. I
mean she does. There's a resemblance there, get the long blonde hair.
She's very beautiful, you know, like tall, slender. It's just,
you know, the resemblance is there, absolutely, just a little bit like,
I don't look like Barbie. You look at me. I've short hair,
get glasses. I'm not like the boy. I just don't look like
If you saw me, you wouldn't be like, she looks like Barbie.
I don't look like Barbie. I don't. I mean, it'd be cool
if somebody looked at me and said she looks like Barbie. I would take
it as I would take it as a compliment. I'm just putting this.
I'm just preambling with the fact that like, some women may look like Barbie
and some women do not. You know what I mean. Now, if
I somebody told me that I look like Barbie, I probably wouldn't be upset
about it. Just putting that out there and continue well. And not only
that, but Barbie in general is like on top of everyone's minds right now
because of the movie starring Margot Robbie. And if I were ever compared to
Margot Robbie, I would definitely take that as a compliment. Oh my gosh,
yes, as most women would be. And you're right, it is
top of mind, like it's everywhere. They're marketing it everywhere. It's all
over the place, Like I think, like Progressive Insurance is like pairing up
with Barbie to market the movie. So it's ever. You're absolutely right,
it's on the It's on everybody's mind. Everybody's talking about Barbie. It's like
Barbie, Barbie, Barbie all the time. And I think that plays into
the conversation that Don Geronimo and his producer had on the air when they spotted
her, And so we have what they said. This was on a Thursday,
and they were having this conversation, and here is what caused all of
the Hullabalooie's hi Barbie girl. Well broadcasting live on Thursday. The two men
made offensive and derogatory comments on the air. So they called her Barbie,
Hey, Barbie girl, she must be a cheerleader, they said, and
then what was Oh and then they called her when they pointed her out and
realized, oh, it looks like she's a sports reporter. I think it
was the producer who said to Don Geronimo, oh, there's that chick that
you thought was a cheerleader. And so there was a trio of grievances,
the first being the bar the barbie comment, the second being the cheerleader comment,
and the third being the chick comment. Well, we definitely aren't offended
by the chick comment, because that is our brand. Hello, Like we
chose the name willingly, like on purpose, with purpose. And Okay,
so he's sixty four years old, this guy, so clearly from a different
generation than this woman who is thirty nine years old. So that, for
allentens and purposes, that makes her that she's a millennial. Right, thirty
nine years old makes her a millennial. So they're in different generations for sure.
First of all, they're in different generations. So and she's in a
different generation than we are. I mean, I you know, I look
at this and I'm fifty one, you're fifty ish, and so we're I
don't even keep track of how old you are anymore, because I just because
she's your fifties. So I mean, I look at her and I think,
Okay, so she's offended by this. Like why it was really hard
for us when we saw this earlier in the week because I'm just I don't
understand the like the being offended thing. Like I think, honestly, I
look at this and I go, here's another millennial that's offended by something.
Right, she's just offended to be offended, Like, why are you offended?
What I would have done? Because you and I were on the radio,
and we worked on the radio with all dudes, and that environment was
so dudish. It was so it was just so saturated with like a frat
party vibe, which I loved. I love that environment. I like being
surrounded by guys. I like it. They're very honest, they're forth right.
It's like it was just it wasn't uncomfortable to me. I like working
with men. I just I've always liked working with men. I think you
were the same exact way. I won't speak for you, but I think
that you and I had a really good time working on the radio and in
radio with a bunch of those guys in that environment. If this were me
and somebody called me or alluded to the fact that I look like a bar
first of all, I would have been flatter, kind of like you said,
you would have been flattered. I would have been flattered. And if
I had the least bit of like, okay, well, he's not taking
me seriously as a radio personality. If it would a radio personality at that
time, as opposed to a journalist, I would have played back, right.
I would have like, Okay, let's make this a game. Then,
like I'm gonna play with this guy, because he's obviously wanting to play
a little I would have played. I would have like, all right,
he teed it up, I'm gonna play. I'm gonna go back, and
I'm gonna say something back to him. Instead, she's playing the victim card,
which makes her appear she puts herself on the defense. It makes her
appear like she is the weaker sex here, and that's not okay, it's
just not the I don't think it's the way to handle it, Like take
the upper hand, play his game and win. That's That's what I would
do if it were me in that situation. But she didn't do that.
No, and in fact, she wasn't the only one that was offended.
The radio station fired both Don Geronimo and the producer, and now come to
find out Don Geronimo is apologizing and has apologized to Charlotte McBride. And you
know, we always say you never caved to the mob, never caved to
the ranche mob, and definitely don't apologize. Why he's doing it after he's
already been fired. Who knows. Maybe he genuinely feels bad, and I
have no idea why he would because this is not a big deal, but
maybe he does, and so he feels compelled to apologize, even though it
probably will not change the outcome of what's happening. So I, you know,
I can't speak for him. And if he wants to apologize and he
means it, that's fine. But it does feel like it's caving. Yeah,
like it's almost forced. Yeah, it's like he feels like he has
to apologize because of the society that we live in, and that's the worst
reason to apologize. It's just yeah, it's yeah. I mean, you
see it way too often like these. It's almost as if somebody said to
him, listen, if you want to get a job again and in radio,
you probably need to apologize to this woman. Yeah, like screw that.
Just why are people doing that so much? Why would he apologize?
He basically said that she looked like Barbie. It's like, okay, you
resemble you're a beautiful woman, you resemble Barbie. Okay, And it's like
and if he apologize, because he the way that he did apologize, it
was like, oh my god, it was just like a horrible thing that
I said. Maybe you could have if he wanted to apologize, he could
say, Okay, well, maybe I could have known her credentials before.
I just didn't know who she was, right, Maybe I could have handled
it a little bit differently, or I could have asked who she was before
assuming something. But I'm not going to apologize for saying that she's a beautiful
woman. I don't know why he needs to. This is so I apologize
for that. Yeah, exactly why would any man apologize for saying that a
woman is a beautiful woman? Is like they can't do that anymore. And
I think that that is where we're getting into, just this territory where it
just sucks, you know, to be a dude, these days, you
can't say anything about a woman that is playful or even the least bit um.
I don't even like, dare I say flirty because he is sixty four
years old and she's thirty nine. But but it used to be that you
can say that kind of staff and the sexes could play with one another and
and it wasn't derogatory, you know, it was just like and strong women
would be like, all right, I'll play. Let's like, let's do
this because I know who I am and I know what I'm capable of,
and you don't make me feel less then, because I am accomplished. Screw
you, dude. You're like, I'll just I'm gonna be and you think
I'm pretty, well, I am pretty. I am pretty, and I'm
also accomplished, and I also am a journey. I'm this, and I'm
this, and I'm also this, and I'm very three dimensional and you don't
threaten me and we can be in the same space and we can play,
you know well, and it you know, it's interesting too, because there's
an old tweet of hers I think it's from twenty twenty that we can show
people on the screen but also read for those people who are listening where she
and whoever her co person, cohost, co TV person, wherever they are,
they are Actually she's holding up Barbie, he's holding up Ken, and
they are referring to each other as Barbie and Ken. Interesting. And so
you know, people have found this and we're like, okay, so is
it a was it a compliment or was it not? Because you're fine clearly
with comparing yourself to Barbie. Why man, are you so deeply offended when
someone else does the same thing. This is the thing. And she literally
looks just like the dolls she's holding. She does, she looks exactly like
her. So this is the thing. So I mean it goes back to
the hole you make millennials look like, you know, whiny babies. Yeah,
when you do this stuff and you got a man fired, I mean
that it's like two men fired. You got two men fired. So think
about the ramifications of that. I mean, that's two families have been affected
by that. I think of the ripple effects of that. I would feel
terrible. I would feel so awful about I mean that those dudes probably have
wives and kids. Yeah, how did you? I mean think about is
that empowering. It's like, I think of what's happening to Like what if
what if Geronimo dude or Crash dude? What if they have daughters? What
does that say to them? You know? It's like so all right,
So you can wield your power and say I'm a Barbie one day or identify
as looking like Barbie one day, and then the next day I'm offended because
some guys said that I look like Barbie and I can have that guy fired.
Yeah, like serious, of what are we doing well? And the
pearl clutching is so hypocritical to when you think about the kind of filth that
is absolutely allowed and tolerated and glorified in our society, whether it's hip hop
music or whatever, where they call women the worst of all names. And
now some guy that's been on the radio for decades is going to get fired
over referring to a woman as a Barbie. Are you serious? Like how
much sense does that make? There's no consistency with the standards and the standards
of outrage. It's so ridiculous, and you're okay with that? Grow up?
Yeah, oh my gosh. And speaking of growing up, we need
to talk about these gen Zers and they're lazy girl jobs. But before we
do that, we have to remind everybody that it's the twentieth anniversary of My
Pillow, which is a very exciting time because, in addition to the humongous
discounts that they usually include on all of their products, particularly when you go
to their landing page of my pillow dot com slash chicks, the discounts are
extra deep right now because they are in party mode. Twenty twenty years is
nothing to sneeze at, and so they're celebrating by giving huge discounts on their
queen size pillows less than twenty bucks apiece right now, which is amazing.
But there's huge discounts on all of their amazing products, and you can check
all of those out at my pillow dot com slash chicks and then use code
chicks to get the deepest, deepest discounts. Good stuff right there, All
right, gen Z, I don't even understand this. Like lazy lazy girl
jobs, it's a thing. And then and then they're they're going out on
the TikTok and telling other lazy girls how to get these lazy girl jobs.
Like this is the generation now. It used to be that. Remember when
we were starting out and you know, corporate right out of college, we
were like, we have to work eighteen twenty hour days just to like pay
our dues to not work eighteen twenty hour days. You remember, Yeah,
do you remember that? And now it's like, what is the like I
need to do the least amount of work from home to make you know,
the most amount of money. Which maybe they're the smart ones. Maybe that's
the way to do it, right, I mean, because they're like,
okay, um, copy and paste the same emails three to four, like
take three to four calls a day, take an extra long break, and
then take more breaks and get a nice salary. Like this is what these
people are doing. I wonder if, like, if they're going out and
they're making this public, do these companies see what they're doing, you know,
to say I'm doing the least amount of work in these jobs. And
I guess companies are paying them to do nothing. Makes you wonder like are
they seeing that? Are they okay with paying these lazy girls to do nothing?
Well, it's a great question. And I have two thoughts about this
because I know that the TikTok are sort of responsible for coining the phrase lazy
girl jobs. She actually has a decent point to make, which is,
you know, this generation gen Z is very, very interested in work life
balance, which I think most people can appreciate, and they are saying,
no more do companies get discounts on labor by working me eighteen hour days.
That's not fair to me and I shouldn't have to do with it. If
I'm doing a good job during the time I'm supposed to be there, then
that should be enough. So she's not lazy. She's using the term to
try to bring attention to this idea of having companies recognize that people want work
life balance, and I can appreciate that. The problem is, then there's
all the losers who are making videos saying look how little I can do and
still get paid for it. And I don't think that's the message she meant
to send, But that's now the message is that, like all these girls
are like I hardly lift a finger and they still pay me, and that's
something to brag about you. Yeah, well, I mean when you use
the word lazy, you're going to get that. Yeah, yeah, you
know what I mean. It's true when you like using the word lazy is
going to attract lazy people. Yeah, and there's a lot more laziness in
the world I think than ever. I think, for sure, for than
ever. Yeah, we see that everywhere. I mean, whether it's seriously,
whether it's in a workplace or what. It's that it's a rarity,
like you know, I mean, I I look at the young young people
today. I know it sounds like I'm shaking my right, but it's true.
I mean, it really is true. It's so it's hard to find
people that are willing to work super hard. I think, like the biggest
anomaly is like our producer, Yeah, she's she works harder than anybody in
that age group that I know, you know, I mean, we just
it's hard to find people that are willing to to work. It's sad that
that's not something people want to do. Yeah, that they don't want to
I mean, because there is a lot of self satisfaction and hard work,
yes, you know, yeah, and then seeing the benefits of that and
then seeing it pay off. You know. It's kind of like and I
think part of it is I have such an entrepreneurial spirit. I think you
do too. I don't think you realize you did until we actually started our
business, Like I think you are always missed corporate America and like get the
gold Watch, until I convinced you, hey, let's start a company,
you know what I mean? And I always have an entrepreneurial and we it
was day in and day out, grind working all the time. You just
work all the time, but you don't mind it, you know what I
mean. You don't mind working all the time when you love what you do,
when you love it so much, and then and then it pays off
and you may not be a millionaire, but you just love it because you
know, you love being there. And I think, and I don't know,
I don't know if I don't see a lot of kids doing that these
because you don't see a lot of like innovators anymore, you know what I
mean. There's not a lot of entrepreneurial no. Now, there's just influencers,
right, And that's so different than the people who created and innovated and
invented, yeah, and did things like that in our generation. I hate
to say that, but it's so true. And there's just something to be
said for you know, you want to work twenty hours a day, when
is something that you are creating yourself. It's different than and it's so different's
not creating content, it's creating something, you know. It's it's like it's
starting a business, and that's totally different. It's like the Elon must of
the world. He probably sleeps three hours a day, and he's probably okay
with that because he is an innovator. You know. Steve Jobs was probably
that way, yeah, because he just was such a creative and brilliant dude.
Believe me, I hate some of the stuff on my iPhone, but
I mean it's like, there's but he was a he was an innovator.
He was an entrepreneur. And it's like and I can name you know,
I can name even Bill Gates as much as I hate that guy, you
know, he you know, he was. He was one of the innovators
of our time. So there's a lot of those people that I could name
from our generation that it was. It was just different. It's different than
a lot of the stuff we see today. And so I don't know,
it is different. And speaking of influencers, we've got to at least mention
this insane story about a vegan influencer by the name of Janna d Art who
apparently she's from Malaysia, and apparently she was on a very strict diet of
only raw foods and fruit, so her all she ate were fruits, sunflower
seeds, sprouts, fruits, smoothies, and juices, and she was very
very people because her body is like just one giant sinew of muscle. Yeah,
and if you look at a picture of her, it's she's just she's
late, but in the grossest way. What I what I find really remarkable
is that she actually has hair. Yeah, I mean, she has a
beautiful head of hair. And I like, I'm shocked by that because she's
starving herself. She herself to death, to death. She died, Yeah,
she died malnutrition, she died. And so I mean, yeah,
so you look at her, her body is like it's she didn't give herself
any protein. There's no protein. But people follow this shock and they probably
probably some people ate the same way, thinking, oh, she's like this
expert on healthy eating. Well she's dead now, and so people that follow
her, or for example, that also follow a guy that also just recently
died, young guy who had an Instagram page filled with pictures of him being
at the tippy tippy top of rooftops of skyscrapers and then like pretending he was
going to fall, right, and people loved watching him because he was such
this risk taker, this daredevil while he felt did he fall? And now
he's dead? And so what are we doing? You know what I mean?
Like this is just so so dumb, right, which goes back to
the hole that's not creating or inventing or day that's just quit being a dumb
ass, right. It's just it's like, I want to do something to
make money, and so I'm making money by getting out here and just you
know, spewing a bunch of stuff that it does like does that matter?
Are you what are what are you creating? What are you doing? What
are you? What are you giving back to the world? Right? You
know, what is it that you're um? What are you? What are
you providing? You know? And it said this, yeah, this she
ain't approaching y'all. Oh my god. And that one chick what's her name?
God, we showed her on our live stream a couple weeks ago interact.
She's literally if she's alive by the end of this calendar year, I
will be amazed. Yeah, And she she has a bigger following, probably
than millions of people follow her. Yeah, just a gigantic following. And
I don't understand it. I don't know if it's the morbid curiosity of when
that woman's gonna die, yeah, or if it's if it's genuinely a bunch
of girls who want to like who follow her because they want to be like.
There are some there's a lot of those girls. Because you can see
in the comments, oh my god, you look so great, you look
so beautiful. She looks like she is she's going to die any second.
She's a death store, right, she looks like she's a death store.
She's so just horrifying. God. And the flip side is those those morbidly
obese people who eat, who go on TikTok to show themselves eating just massive
disgusting quantities of food equally as bad as equally as bad, and they have
the equal number of gigantic followings who just who end up paying them for that
content. And to your point, how is that helpful to society or how
does that elevation our culture in any way? It doesn't. It just drags
us all down. It doesn't. It makes us all dumber, is what
it's really So, yeah, and that's the that's the thing, and I
don't know, is it it makes It makes us dumber. So then it
makes um, you know, not just women, but it makes all all
these kids, all these young people, um, not inventors, rot innovators,
not entrepreneurs. They're taking lazy way out of having a job because if
they can just be like stuffing their faces or prancing around wearing next to nothing
and just being shells of a human. I mean, what she needs is
Omaha Steaks. That's what Rash needs now. Some of these other ones that
we just mentioned do not need any more Omaha Steaks. But that girl,
that the one with Annarexia, Man, could she ever benefit it from the
Hotter than Fire deals're having right now? Yeah, that Vegan could have used
them too, good Lord words, yes, she's so could so. Yeah,
there is a Hotter than Fire sale going on right now at Omaha Steaks.
They have This is an amazing They've got the thirty two Grilling Essentials that
includes twelve extra steak burgers, all this for less than one hundred dollars.
There's a sixty two percent savings right now. That's why they're calling it a
Hotter than Fire deal, and you can check out that deal at Omaha Steaks
dot com and then just put the word chicks in the search bar. It'll
take you right to the deal. You can then add on whatever you want,
and I'm sure you're gonna want to. When you start seeing the sides,
you're gonna be like, Oh, and the desserts, you guys,
the desserts, the tartlets. Are you kidding me? You can have it
for breakfast. They're so good. Not saying that. I do that all
the time, but not not saying it either. So go to Omaha Steaks
dot com, use code chicks in the search bar, take advantage of that
hotter than Fire sale today. Do it? Yeah, a lot to cover
today. We had a less gimber. We're kind of all over the place.
But but you know, I think the overarching theme is we really need
to get our heads out of our butts. You know, yes, we
really need to. Everybody needs equipping so sensitive, like, maybe get off
of social media just for a little like a couple, just maybe for a
couple hours a day. Good idea, you know, get your kids off
of social media. Maybe that's like the lesson here. I think adults can
handle it a little bit better, but kids, I just worry about our
kids, mock, I really worry about our kids. It's a crazy world
out there. You guys, eat some steak, buy some my pillow.
It's all going to be fun.
