  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask how America and Mama's Alma ma.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Now are American Mama's turntable and Kimberly Burleson, I don't
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: think either one of you is qualified to answer this
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: question because neither one of you is aged at all.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: But wait, wait that statement right there is that part
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of the problem that we're not allowed to say that
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: women actually do get older.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Like if you like, if you acknowledge that someone is
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a woman is actually getting older, it seems like you're
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: actually rude. You know what I'm saying.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm not offended by it. But I
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: guess you know right now was unbelievable to me is
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: the swing in the You know, five years ago, it
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: was all about body positivity you had, all about the
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: base you had, Lizzo you had on the swimsuit edition
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: of the GQ or whatever sports illustrations it was illustrated.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Was the heavier woman you had. And now all of
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: a sudden, there's access to the gop ones.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And Lizzo just I think she just got shortened to list.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, right, and I mean everybody is just you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: it's an easy fix, which is fine, But how do
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: you how do you swing that? I mean you were
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: you were the people that were telling us that we
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: were terrible for judging anyone based on the body. Now
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: they're all stick thin. But have y'all seen Demmy Moore
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and the latest thing? She went to the gala, the
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: met Gala, and the New York Post put her on
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the cover and talked about her toned arms.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: There was there was no money, there was nothing but
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: men hanging on her arms. I feel sorry because I
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: think it's cry for help. I think that women, especially
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: in Hollywood, the need to look young and be relevant
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: is so.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: About their looks.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Madonna absolutely, oh poor Madonna, Like I cringe for Madonna,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: like cringe Crown big time. But I think that's the
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: problem is they're trying so desperately to stay in that
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: world and that because they normally they discard you when
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: you get older, right, And.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of these women don't want the older roles.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: They want to come across as beautiful and but this
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: has been this has been the thing with women forever,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: for centuries.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: This isn't like, Okay, we're gonna be honest. We're gonna
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: be honest about it. Then you have these stars that
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: have these facelifts that look so amazing and they look
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: so fresh, and you go and well, me, I'll speak
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: for myself. I'm going, oh gosh, okay, that's something I
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: want to look into when the time comes. I want
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: to look into this because we all look in the mirror,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: push our neck.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Back the stars.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about people getting Who's the girl that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was on Family the Bailey movie.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: She's married to that big mega billionaires and.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Her facelift looks really good. McLaughlin.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Laurie McLaughlin, the girl that was good from Full House, Full.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: House aunt man, Uncle Jesse's.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Uh, yes, that's hey, Yes, okay, all right, maybe.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Okay, I follow these plastic surgeons because I am doing it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do it when I get to that
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: point because I want to feel like I want to
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: feel on the outside what I feel on the inside.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I don't want to look in the mirror. It's just me.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: So it's for you and not for anybody else.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Oh no, it's not for anybody else. It's totally for me.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: But I want to feel good and so I don't
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: have a problem with it. So I have different surgeons
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: that I'm following, So I'm watching the progression. But now
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: it's gotten where everybody's doing it. It's so expensive, it'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: probably never happen because it's so expensive.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Well, the difference with Demi Moore, she's always had in
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: eating disorder and to be and now she's getting so
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: much praise for her body. And I'm telling when I
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: tell you she is skin and bone, she's the tiniest
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: skin of them. I don't think that we should go
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: back to those days of Twiggy where we are celebrating
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: this skin and bones look.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: But that was going on with Ariana Grande.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, she is not a good look.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, But when I think about actresses, because because that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: who's who gets the public eye?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Right, So who has aged gracefully? I go Helen Mirren.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, right, yes, I don't think.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: She's had a whole bunch of fellow done. But she
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is a lady who has aged graceful.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you it's beautiful, fascinating to look at. Is
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: that Paulina who's made to the car. Yes, Okay. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: she she was one of supermodels in the night and
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: she's made her mission. She has zero desire for botox,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: for fillers, for any kind of facelift. So it's fascinating
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: to look at her face to see what an actual,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: you know, sixty year old looks like compared to an
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Elment Fearson.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: We also age differently because Cindy Crawford also doesn't do anything,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: and Cindy Crawford looks very youthful to me. It depends
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: on your heritage, you know, Italian, Hispanic, but there's a
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: lot that goes into it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You know, there's also you know, drug use, cigarette smoking, Yeah,

• 5:31
  Speaker 7: then there's a time to be the matron, the wise
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: family leader.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: And do we have women who still want to be
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that third.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Cat, want to be the one they want to be
• 5:41
