Speaker 1: Friday, it is officially Saint Patrick's Day today. And I
Speaker 1: look around the room and I see Christina wearing green.
Speaker 1: KT's got a green tassel on his left nipple. Oh
Speaker 1: it's a North Texas level. Yeah, I like that of
Speaker 1: Kat having tassels niles every day. Are you wearing green now?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 2: I'm wearing a green thong. Are you now that's hot? Yeah? Thanks?
Speaker 2: If you?
Speaker 1: If you, If somebody seriously played the Saint Patrick's Day
Speaker 1: game and they tried to come up and pinch you,
Speaker 1: would you kick their ass?
Speaker 2: They catch these hands?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you can do that anymore.
Speaker 2: Did you pinch Christina when you got here?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wearing green. I do that every day. I
Speaker 2: just walk up. It's another holiday. Pinch Who's hr?
Speaker 1: So we had the Saint Patti's Day parade, the Greenville
Speaker 1: Avenue Parade.
Speaker 2: We were there. iHeart was there.
Speaker 1: iHeart and man, we've been doing this for many years,
Speaker 1: but I think this was the best parade.
Speaker 2: I don't know we've ever been a part of.
Speaker 5: I haven't been involved in any of those Macy Day
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving Day parades, but I can't imagine I would imagine
Speaker 5: that's anyone better than this.
Speaker 4: I'm interested in Macy's Day now.
Speaker 1: We want to graduate to that one. But it was
Speaker 1: the kid Cratit Show. They were the Grand Marshals. Yes,
Speaker 1: so they were in a lowrider convertible that was hitting
Speaker 1: switches at the very front of the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: then because they're major celebrities, and we got to kind
Speaker 1: of all the all the rest of the iHeart stations,
Speaker 1: iHeart got to go in They're wake. We got to
Speaker 1: be up at the front of the parade. And that's
Speaker 1: the fastest I've ever been through that parade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's because because they were the
Speaker 2: front of it, they needed to go fastest at the
Speaker 2: pace because if you got out to talk to people,
Speaker 2: like on the side of Greenville Avenue to say hello
Speaker 2: or whatever, if somebody knew who you were. Once you
Speaker 2: looked up the the float was gone.
Speaker 5: I looked back at one point and Ben was a
Speaker 5: half a mile behind us, and I was like, he
Speaker 5: ain't catching up. I was way back there. And then
Speaker 5: I turned around a couple minutes later and he caught up.
Speaker 5: I was like, dude, you've got to be winded. Yeah,
Speaker 5: or did you jump on with a motorcycle cor I jumped.
Speaker 5: I didn't tell the police officer, but I just hopped
Speaker 5: on the back and surprised him and then rode with
Speaker 5: him for a while.
Speaker 2: That sounds terrible.
Speaker 6: I was sore Saturday night, and it's just from the
Speaker 6: getting up and down off the float and then bending
Speaker 6: over and picking up stuff coozies and whatever and beads
Speaker 6: and then getting them to the crowd. I mean it's
Speaker 6: almost like doing some community service in a way, cleaning
Speaker 6: up the streets a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And but you're doing that and.
Speaker 6: Kind of cleaned up the streets to send kick stuff
Speaker 6: over to the people behind the gates.
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's a pretty good full body workout.
Speaker 2: By the end of the day, I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty this is pretty good. Like the sword has felt good.
Speaker 2: Did y'all what did y'all do?
Speaker 3: After?
Speaker 4: I kept drinking and then I went to Fort Worth
Speaker 4: for an event?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, what event did you go to?
Speaker 4: Because okay, I'm I'm not going to say it, but
Speaker 4: they say it themselves. It's little person wrestling, that's what
Speaker 4: they call it. I do not feel comfortable saying that one.
Speaker 2: I think you can say it if it's the if
Speaker 2: it's the name of something.
Speaker 4: And if they were saying it themselves.
Speaker 2: Did you go to extreme midget wrestling?
Speaker 4: I did. It was in Fort Worth than Saturday nights.
Speaker 2: What makes it extreme that they're so small?
Speaker 4: Oh my god? Yeah, you weren't there. There's lights everywhere.
Speaker 4: It was outside. It was in a mini bringing skin.
Speaker 4: But then you can pay. But they call it that,
Speaker 4: they called it, Yes, they call it that.
Speaker 2: Extreme midget wrestler.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, And so at the intermission you can pay
Speaker 4: one hundred bucks to have them body slam you. And
Speaker 4: so we had a friend in our group that we
Speaker 4: didn't tell. We paid a hundred bucks and so they
Speaker 4: called his Amy looked around like what's happening, and he
Speaker 4: went up there, and sure enough, they body slammed him.
Speaker 4: We got it all on video and it's incredible. It
Speaker 4: was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 2: Did it turn him on?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Weirdo?
Speaker 2: He said it was extreme.
Speaker 6: That sounded like the baddest little show you ever ever seen?
Speaker 6: Fun time, So how long does this sort of thing last?
Speaker 6: Is there a main event with two of the baddest midgets?
Speaker 4: No, we had a there was a tall person. The
Speaker 4: fight to kick it off we had two tall people fight. Yeah,
Speaker 4: do they do?
Speaker 2: They do heroes and villains, good guys and bad guys.
Speaker 4: Took the good good guy in the heel. There's always
Speaker 4: one of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tall guys in the crowds like that.
Speaker 4: It was like they got out in the crowd and
Speaker 4: like sometimes they like throw water on you. You had
Speaker 4: no idea what was happening or what was going to
Speaker 4: happen to you.
Speaker 2: How many people are at something like this?
Speaker 4: Oh, it was packed. I mean this was that Makes
Speaker 4: Flies Pub in Fort Worth. I don't know if y'all been,
Speaker 4: but it was outside, So I don't know, not a thousand.
Speaker 1: We've done at our small business. We've done luchador wrestling
Speaker 1: and we've done sumo wrestling, and they're both awesome. But
Speaker 1: I always thought that this was pushing the envelope. And
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know that this was okay, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Okay with who?
Speaker 2: With the wrestlers.
Speaker 4: No, I mean they're getting paid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay with the wrestlers. It's not okay with
Speaker 5: their kind who aren't wrestlers.
Speaker 6: But don't you think they would like they would rather
Speaker 6: it be called midget wrestling than micro wrestling. Who the
Speaker 6: people the contestants I think I think I think they
Speaker 6: have already.
Speaker 5: I think they've already satisfied whatever they have to satisfy
Speaker 5: with themselves to engage in this. I think it's the
Speaker 5: people that they're like that don't do it, that they're
Speaker 5: looking at them like really, yeah, they're going, hey, man,
Speaker 5: come on, I mean, we had to deal with a
Speaker 5: little kiss and now we got to deal with this
Speaker 5: many kiss.
Speaker 6: Okay, let me just say this then, to those people,
Speaker 6: the snobs of the dwarf community, are you sure that
Speaker 6: a dwarf they go with dwarf is is the condition?
Speaker 2: Well, I thought that dwarves were different.
Speaker 5: To those Stop holding back your own No, no, no,
Speaker 5: I believe there's a difference. I don't even know what
Speaker 5: the official is, the official term that what they used
Speaker 5: to call midgets a little person is that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Dwarves and little people are different.
Speaker 5: Dwarves have I believe, I believe the little person is
Speaker 5: all just smaller, where a dwarf will have like normal
Speaker 5: sized hands. And you know what I'm saying, there's a
Speaker 5: difference in a dwarf and a little person.
Speaker 2: Let's just run this through AI.
Speaker 5: See what AI says, what's the correct term or stature.
Speaker 5: If you're listening and you're a dwarf for a little person,
Speaker 5: call in.
Speaker 1: But I would love that. Yeah, two one four seven,
Speaker 1: eight seven one nine seven one, just call in years.
Speaker 2: This is a game.
Speaker 4: Look, I don't even know if the phones work.
Speaker 2: Say let's dust them all, let's dust them up. I
Speaker 2: could be wrong on this.
Speaker 5: I've always thought that a dwarf had certain features that
Speaker 5: were quote unquote normal size.
Speaker 6: According to AI, little person or person of short stature
Speaker 6: are generally considered to be more acceptable. Okay, So I
Speaker 6: would like to say to the little people out there
Speaker 6: who are throwing rocks and our little people wrestlers, stop
Speaker 6: holding holding them back if they want to chase their
Speaker 6: dreams and do that for you.
Speaker 4: And seriously, at these events, there's no disrespect, Like we're
Speaker 4: not disrespecting them. They're like little celebrities. I didn't mean
Speaker 4: it like that they are celebrities in that moment.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I honestly don't know the political correctness.
Speaker 2: I just don't know. Shrunking down famously, that's not but
Speaker 2: it's not about it's not about being canceled. It's about
Speaker 2: being respectful to people, and that's all I want to do,
Speaker 2: make sure we stand full respect because I don't know
Speaker 2: the answers to these questions. Who are the groups that
Speaker 2: we don't want to be respectful? Yeah, but we're on
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 6: That's not like, that's not who we really are, So
Speaker 6: you can get around anything.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm serious.
Speaker 5: I would love for you, the holder of the computer,
Speaker 5: to find out. Ask Ai, with the difference in a
Speaker 5: little person and a dwarf is?
Speaker 2: Okay? What's the difference in a little person? Our phones work?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 2: Nine? Someone? I don't think they work though? Do they
Speaker 2: leave it? Leave it? Talk back? How are we doing
Speaker 2: in the little people demographic? If you're a little person
Speaker 2: or a dwarf? Leave it talk back? On the iHeart
Speaker 2: only demo? We care about now? Okay, Cordai, yeap.
Speaker 6: This little person is generally considered a more respectful and
Speaker 6: preferred term by many people with dwarfism, while dwarf can
Speaker 6: sometimes be seen as outdated or offensive. So it's just
Speaker 6: like to apologize for being outdated and offensive. But it
Speaker 6: is weird that shouldn't it be called little personism than dwarfism?
Speaker 2: I don't know the condition is dwarfism. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think about the Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that? I mean that was the peak
Speaker 2: of like offensiveness. Did you remember this? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Was there there was a scene where they had brought
Speaker 1: some to a sales rally and they were, yes, beforehand,
Speaker 1: theyre having a meeting talking about what would be allowed,
Speaker 1: what wouldn't be allowed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm getting I'm getting confused because now I'm thinking
Speaker 5: about the porn little person in tiptoes remember that?
Speaker 2: And David Allen Greer, yes, at the beginning, Yeah, oh
Speaker 2: my god, that was quite the scene. What I'm seeing here.
Speaker 6: Dwarfism is a medical condition that means that results in
Speaker 6: section below four feet and ten inches. Then tons of
Speaker 6: women have dwarfism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're called little miracles. Well it depends on the rest.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so I don't uh.
Speaker 6: But I'm always saying this because Jerry Jon said midget
Speaker 6: is widely considered offensive and should be Okay, very offensive.
Speaker 5: Okay, but why does this so? But it's not offensive
Speaker 5: if you put the word extreme in front of it.
Speaker 2: I don't no, that was the that's the league.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. They said that they called
Speaker 1: it that. Yeah, it's not okay for anyone else to
Speaker 1: call it that. And they call it that and face
Speaker 1: backlas from their own community saying, hey, man, come on, but.
Speaker 6: That's bad branding if your product is something that you
Speaker 6: don't like other people saying that's that's not good.
Speaker 5: Did you see the snow white controversy. No, so the
Speaker 5: movie Snow Wide.
Speaker 2: Is being remade and then they're.
Speaker 5: Going seven Dwarfs. Yeah, they're like, why are we even
Speaker 5: doing snow White anymore? If you know, because they're they're
Speaker 5: I guess whoever owns it, Disney, Whoever's like, well, maybe
Speaker 5: we'll eliminate the seven Dwarves or maybe we'll make them
Speaker 5: normal side.
Speaker 2: They're all twisted up. They're all confused. You know.
Speaker 5: It's like no one knows what to think anymore because
Speaker 5: there's these things that used to be socially acceptable. And
Speaker 5: then someone said, hey, is anyone thought about the idea
Speaker 5: that that's wrong to exploit this group of people?
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. It was in a cartoon. What
Speaker 2: do you want from me? Man, dude?
Speaker 1: What about there's so many of those things back in
Speaker 1: the day that are just racist, Yes, there because our
Speaker 1: society was more racist. What about Pepe right, and he
Speaker 1: the one who was like the skunk that wanted to
Speaker 1: drug women.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like his his skunk smell is basically
Speaker 5: a roofie.
Speaker 2: It was opium. I mean he caused me to do
Speaker 2: that with his barbecue sauce. Yeah, college show, he was
Speaker 2: pepelet pew is groping everybody. Okay, let's go to Stacy online.
Speaker 1: Four Okay, Stacy, Hello, Stacey, you are on the Benskin
Speaker 1: Show ninety seven point one.

Speaker 3: Anytime the midget wrestling comes into town and they asked
Speaker 3: me if I'm.
Speaker 1: Performing okay, okay, ten, okay, you're four to ten okay,
Speaker 1: So do you have any insight into this?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: We just want to make sure that all of this
Speaker 1: is respectful, and we don't know what's okay and what's
Speaker 1: not okay anymore. So.
Speaker 3: Dwarfism is actually the medical terms. Okay, that's the sana.
Speaker 3: Dwarf is a medical term. So that's where dwarf ism
Speaker 3: comes from. Midget came from a slang of I guess,
Speaker 3: changing it from something small, so they were saying it
Speaker 3: was midget. So that's just a slang word that people
Speaker 3: came up with a long time ago. Little people is
Speaker 3: more appropriate, or a little person is more appropriate. But
Speaker 3: most people that actually physically fall under I believe it's
Speaker 3: for four eight is technically considered what people would say
Speaker 3: a midget.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you just went back to that word. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and how tall are you?
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm four ten.
Speaker 5: Oh so you're you're just a gal, You're just a
Speaker 5: short yeah okay, yeah, so I'm.
Speaker 3: Just a sure one.
Speaker 2: But few Yeah, you know some little people.
Speaker 3: I know quite a few people who aren't. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: so they prefer a little person because midget is like
Speaker 3: the ugly word of it. Yes, it's not that it's
Speaker 3: fully offensive. It's just like with any other thing going on.
Speaker 3: I guess you can say race, religion and everything. So
Speaker 3: it'll offend some people, but it won't offend others if
Speaker 3: you call them a madgit for a dwarf.
Speaker 2: What about how aggressively you say it? Though?
Speaker 3: Oh, then it was probably It's just like with anything
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I meant you specific I m at
Speaker 5: you specifically, you are saying it with such fervor every
Speaker 5: time you say it.
Speaker 2: I just kind of I don't know, I get tense
Speaker 2: a little bit.
