  We got a question for our American mama. Dear mamma, do you think
• 0:03
  they should do a female Indiana Jones. Well, let's ask our American mama,
• 0:08
  Mama, Mama and joining because now our American mama, Terry Netterville,
• 0:23
  they are talking about doing another Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford's doing the fifth Indiana
• 0:28
  Jones, right, and that's it. He's done. That's he's done with
• 0:31
  the character. Um, just as he's done with Han solo. Now,
• 0:34
  So how old is he seventies? I think he's I think he's eighty.
• 0:39
  I think he's eighty. I mean, I guess it's time to hang it
• 0:41
  up. Yeah, I mean it looks so hard. It looks great for
• 0:43
  d you know, but yeah, he's eighty. So a co star in
• 0:47
  that Phoebe waller Bridge who was in the hit streaming show fleabag Um, and
• 0:54
  she's the co star in this show, and there's word that they want to
• 0:58
  make her the next Indiana Jones. They want to do Indiana Jones. And
• 1:00
  she's Indiana Jones now, or maybe she's the lead of the whole series or
• 1:03
  whatever. But the question is, what do you think about that? The
• 1:07
  female Indiana Jones Uh, okay. Well, well I'm so curious about the
• 1:15
  storyline because I'm thinking, Okay, is if she was the student and he
• 1:19
  was the master, and then she comes out and she's able to do all
• 1:21
  these brave things. But you know how I feel about women characters taken over
• 1:26
  male roles, and I don't like I don't like it when movies make women
• 1:32
  out to be stronger than the men, smarter than the men, funnier than
• 1:37
  I don't like that. I just think it dilutes men in general. And
• 1:41
  with all this talk about toxic masculinity, it's almost like they're trying to take
• 1:46
  the female and make them into the masculine person and you know, fight all
• 1:51
  the demons. So of course, you know you had Sigourney Weaver and aliens,
• 1:55
  you know those characters that were that came in as the heroine of the
• 1:59
  show. Love that Buffy the Vampire, yeah, for sure, Love that
• 2:02
  Wonder Woman, yes, But I just don't really love the idea of them
• 2:07
  purposefully virtue signaling by making Okay, now we're gonna get rid of him,
• 2:13
  and then she's going to be the next Indiana Jones. Like Ghostbusters, yes,
• 2:16
  where they went through the all female cast. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:20
  and no one wants And again it depends on the storyline, you know,
• 2:23
  it depends on how they kind of bring her into it. But it
• 2:28
  seems like Hollywood has really bought into this toxic masculinity. I'm putting air quotes
• 2:35
  around that, right, because I want my men to be masculine. I
• 2:38
  don't think that's toxic at all. In fact, here in Streeport recently,
• 2:42
  we had a devastating storm. Some thought it was a tornado, which you're
• 2:46
  the weather guys, that was straight wind. Say yes, it's a massive,
• 2:52
  massive, eighty one hundred mile hour winds for hundreds of miles from Oklahoma
• 2:57
  all the way through North Texas into Louisiana down since Louisiana, massive, massive
• 3:00
  store. Yeah. We had seven oaks go down in our in our yards.
• 3:04
  Yes, yes, and all of them in our neighborhood, all across
• 3:07
  town, uprooted and over. But anyway, I wanted to bring this up
• 3:10
  during this segment because you know who showed up, you know, you know
• 3:15
  who crawled up in the trees, who brought their equipment, people that we
• 3:19
  didn't know it was the men. It was. It was a strong men
• 3:22
  in our town. I didn't see a group of women on their trucks well,
• 3:27
  you know, with all of their chainsaws coming to the rescue. We
• 3:30
  saw men. We saw real men coming in. They didn't know who we
• 3:34
  were, and they were they were sawing all of these trees off of our
• 3:38
  driveway because we had the wedding that weekend, and so they're trying to help
• 3:40
  me can get out, and um, so I want to get back to
• 3:46
  those characters that reflect what is truth out there. That's interesting because and I
• 3:51
  hadn't thought about it, but over the weekend, I saw a crew that
• 3:55
  was in the parking lot of the grocery store and I just bought two bundles
• 4:00
  of water to um, eighteen packs of water, right, and well,
• 4:04
  as I was going to my car, I went, you know what,
• 4:06
  I only need one at home. So I went over and I gave them
• 4:09
  one of them that I was like, look, this isn't a big deal,
• 4:12
  but I just wanted to say a small thanks everybody. And every one
• 4:15
  of those trucks, those big line trucks, every single one of them was
• 4:17
  a man. Yeah, that's that's what I mean. So let's okay,
• 4:21
  Indiana Jones icon Iconic, Let's leave him. Let's leave him as the iconic
• 4:27
  Indiana Jones. If you want to do another movie about and it kind of
• 4:31
  transitions from that, kind of like a sitcom where they had, like Joey
• 4:35
  on Friends, he had his own sitcom. Like what do you call those
• 4:39
  spin off? Spinoff? Yeah, Like you want to do a spin off
• 4:42
  and make her heroin and all of that, that's great, But leave her
• 4:45
  feminine, leave her strong, because you can be strong. I mean Sigourney
• 4:47
  Weaver, and there's others, like you said, Wonder Woman that have pulled
• 4:50
  that off and is beautiful and it's really it feels real. But if you
• 4:55
  want to say we're going to replace that, I don't. I don't know.
• 4:57
  I don't like that. I don't. I don't like the So even
• 5:00
  the storytelling of we're just gonna take what was a male part and we're just
• 5:03
  gonna make a woman play the male part. We'll call it a female part,
• 5:06
  but we don't. Really. Women have unique attributes, unique ways of
• 5:11
  seeing the world, unique perspectives and things. Don't you want your character to
• 5:14
  bring that to the play, that to the movie rather than just a feminized
• 5:19
  version. Basically, you know, she's she's fighting Nazis, but she's wearing
• 5:24
  heels. Don't you want a feminine a real authentic feminine character. I do,
• 5:29
  and I think the majority of Americans do. But you really speak to
• 5:32
  the heart of what Gal Gadot. She was the one that played yeah in
• 5:36
  a great movie by the way, Yeah yeah, she said. She said,
• 5:39
  I wanted to show a great story about a female character. This is
• 5:42
  her speaking. She's thriving at the same time. How many times have they
• 5:45
  just switched gender. They take a story that all about the men and they
• 5:47
  just change it to a woman and then go shoot it. To me,
• 5:49
  it was so important in the DNA to make a heart of Stone a little
• 5:53
  different because men and women are different. They're built differently, and they operate
• 5:56
  differently. And I agree with that. I don't even know what her political
• 5:59
  stance, but I'm like, okay, I get that. If you like
