- 0:02Speaker 1: what's your opinion on stay at home dads. Well, let's
- 0:05Speaker 1: ask our mary A and Mama's.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Mama Mama, she said, and joining us now are American
- 0:21Speaker 2: Mama's Terrain Edville and Kimberly Burlison.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not quite a stay at home dead. I'm
- 0:27Speaker 1: a work from home dewn for most of the I mean,
- 0:29Speaker 1: obviously we do the radio show here in the studio,
- 0:31Speaker 1: but most of the day, I know, I don't live
- 0:33Speaker 1: too far from the studio, and so you know, we
- 0:36Speaker 1: homeschooled my daughter and I was working at home. So
- 0:40Speaker 1: please be gentle on this. What do you think about
- 0:42Speaker 1: stay at home stay at home dads?
- 0:45Speaker 3: Well, we actually that's that's different when you're working from
- 0:49Speaker 3: home because a lot of people can do that. Now,
- 0:50Speaker 3: that's one of the things that came out of the pandemic,
- 0:52Speaker 3: I think is people realize you can do stuff from home.
- 0:57Speaker 3: But we saw this video and it was this I
- 1:01Speaker 3: would say late twenties and a couple. The woman is
- 1:05Speaker 3: saying to her husband, Babe, I need I need I
- 1:09Speaker 3: work two jobs. You want me to work a third job?
- 1:12Speaker 3: He's like, I don't know what you need to do,
- 1:13Speaker 3: but I just want to stay home with the kids,
- 1:15Speaker 3: like I don't. He didn't want to work.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Wow, And she's not making enough money.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Yes, that she's making another job and he was fine
- 1:23Speaker 3: with that. This man was fine with his wife having
- 1:25Speaker 3: to get a third job.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Oh no, sir.
- 1:28Speaker 3: So I was immediately. I was turned off. I felt
- 1:30Speaker 3: sorry for this woman, felt sorry for the children. And
- 1:33Speaker 3: I thought, is this a product of the whole toxic
- 1:37Speaker 3: masculinity thing? Is this a is this a society thing?
- 1:41Speaker 3: Is this what he saw growing up? What is this about?
- 1:43Speaker 3: Because Kevin and I we were just talking the other night.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I saw a Christmas show and it's about these the
- 1:50Speaker 3: joy merchants in New York, these guys that sell their
- 1:52Speaker 3: Christmas trees. And I was watching these men load the trees,
- 1:55Speaker 3: watching the men come like, watching these men do all
- 1:57Speaker 3: these things, and I just started I said, you know,
- 2:00Speaker 3: I said, feminists who say we don't need men drive
- 2:04Speaker 3: me nuts. Who would do I started listing all the
- 2:06Speaker 3: things that Kevin and men like him do, Like, I mean,
- 2:10Speaker 3: I was like, what about this, in this, in this,
- 2:12Speaker 3: and y'all do the hard stuff y'all do the heavy lifting,
- 2:15Speaker 3: the dirty stuff, don't. Well, I mean men do, like
- 2:21Speaker 3: in general, they do all the things that that we
- 2:24Speaker 3: cannot do, we physically cannot do, or we're not prepared.
- 2:27Speaker 3: They had the load and we're a whole.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Bunch of female coal miners.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Yeah, can you imagine? So I was, I was, so
- 2:36Speaker 3: I was thinking about that. Actually, we were watching Landman
- 2:38Speaker 3: the other night and it came up again, and I said,
- 2:42Speaker 3: masculinity is making a comeback. Luckily, we're seeing it everywhere.
- 2:46Speaker 3: But when I saw that guy, and I thought, oh,
- 2:50Speaker 3: my goodness, you're giving about if there's because there are
- 2:52Speaker 3: some stay at home dads who are awesome and the
- 2:55Speaker 3: wife is like, they want to work outside the home
- 2:57Speaker 3: and they're making great money and they want the other
- 2:58Speaker 3: one to be there and that their thing. But this
- 3:02Speaker 3: kind of makes me go, oh, like, I don't know
- 3:04Speaker 3: how I feel. I was turned off by that guy.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I was so turned off too, But it made me think,
- 3:09Speaker 4: this is and I hope I have this right. But
- 3:12Speaker 4: Joe Rogan was interviewing elon musk Okay and the conversation
- 3:16Speaker 4: they were having was about the takeover of Europe and
- 3:20Speaker 4: how these Muslims have come in and they've taken over,
- 3:23Speaker 4: and these men are so soft that they've allowed it
- 3:26Speaker 4: to happen. And Elon says he that Lord of the
- 3:32Speaker 4: Rings was based on Tolkien's book, but Tolkien based the
- 3:35Speaker 4: Hobbits on those kind of men. He said, they live
- 3:38Speaker 4: in villages and there they're kind and they're sweet, and
- 3:41Speaker 4: they take care of everything. They're gardening while hard men
- 3:46Speaker 4: go out and fight for them to have that. So
- 3:49Speaker 4: as soon as you have a whole five hundred people
- 3:51Speaker 4: that come and take over your village and pillage and
- 3:53Speaker 4: rape and do everything else, they don't know what to
- 3:56Speaker 4: do because the TRD men, the tough men, have gone
- 3:59Speaker 4: out and done it for them, and so they're soft.
- 4:02Speaker 4: So what I feel like is happening. And we are
- 4:04Speaker 4: creating a society of soft men right now, not little villages,
- 4:09Speaker 4: but in our country and mass in mass and I
- 4:12Speaker 4: think video gaming, no work ethic, no physical labe, no,
- 4:18Speaker 4: men are growing up softer. And I think it's going
- 4:21Speaker 4: to be really bad with what happens with our country
- 4:24Speaker 4: because of that.
- 4:25Speaker 1: And I do think that men need to have this
- 4:27Speaker 1: understanding that your job is to protect your family. Yes,
- 4:30Speaker 1: that is your job.
- 4:31Speaker 3: And there's at that bothered me about this guy having
- 4:35Speaker 3: zero problem with his wife working multiple jobs.
- 4:38Speaker 1: And that's the part that if your job as a
- 4:41Speaker 1: stay at home dad is to protect the home, and
- 4:44Speaker 1: the mom's now able to say she's a CEO. Yeah
- 4:47Speaker 1: she's making half a million a year. Yeah, you can
- 4:50Speaker 1: stay at home and raise the kids and protect the
- 4:51Speaker 1: kids and make sure that the kids are taught what
- 4:53Speaker 1: needs to be taught. You know, I'm in favor of that.
- 4:56Speaker 1: But if your staying at home is creating hardship or
- 5:00Speaker 1: creating danger for your family, then you're not doing your
- 5:03Speaker 1: primary job, which is to protect your family.
- 5:06Speaker 3: That's it. And there's something internal for men. They had this.
- 5:12Speaker 3: I've always believed innately they want to be the protector.
- 5:16Speaker 3: They won't because I said one time, I wish I
- 5:18Speaker 3: could take all of this off of you. You know,
- 5:20Speaker 3: there's just so much on men. I think that's why
- 5:22Speaker 3: they probably die earlier than women.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Well, plus we make bad decisions.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kem said, I would want that. I want
- 5:29Speaker 3: to be in this role. I want to be the protector.
- 5:31Speaker 1: You know, I talk about this all the time. People
- 5:33Speaker 1: said that, you know, when you get married, everything changes
- 5:35Speaker 1: and my wife and I got married and nothing changed.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Awful advice. What they don't tell you is the moment
- 5:41Speaker 1: your children are born, everything changes. Yeah, and the moment
- 5:44Speaker 1: my son was born. The moment he was born, all
- 5:47Speaker 1: of a sudden, there was this protective thing that, yes,
- 5:51Speaker 1: now I'm the dad, I'm the one in charge, this
- 5:53Speaker 1: is my house, my rules. That that thing came immediately
- 5:56Speaker 1: when he was born. If you like deskar American Mama
