Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear Mama's, have
- 0:03Speaker 1: you seen the survivor show that's segregated by gender.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's Mama Mamay.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Joining us now are American Mama's turn Outiville and Kimberly Burlison.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I've seen some clips of this online. I think this
- 0:28Speaker 1: is a show called The Island with Bear Gorillas, and
- 0:32Speaker 1: basically they take an island. They put fourteen men on
- 0:35Speaker 1: one and there's another island. They put fourteen women on
- 0:39Speaker 1: the other island, and very quickly, the two camps go
- 0:45Speaker 1: very different ways in trying to survive on their own
- 0:49Speaker 1: in the wilderness. That is that what we're talking about here?
- 0:51Speaker 3: Yeah, is women. One camp is me in.
- 0:54Speaker 4: They had to jump in the water. They had to
- 0:57Speaker 4: jump in the water to get to their island.
- 1:00Speaker 1: You're already laughing, and I laughed all.
- 1:02Speaker 4: The way through this because it was complete breakdown with
- 1:06Speaker 4: the women. They were cold, their organs were shutting down,
- 1:09Speaker 4: and the men were like, let's go. I mean, it
- 1:12Speaker 4: was like full on men's retreat, celebrating everything. It was
- 1:16Speaker 4: like like they were having the time of their lives.
- 1:19Speaker 1: So one of the scenes, I saw the women ran
- 1:21Speaker 1: across a Cayman alligator, you know, one of the Caymans,
- 1:26Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, look at that. Okay, we'll avoid that.
- 1:29Speaker 1: And then the men were like, that's dinner. And eventually
- 1:34Speaker 1: like six of them are on the cayman's back and then
- 1:36Speaker 1: they trap it and they get the the kill it
- 1:39Speaker 1: and they eat it, and the women are like, haven't
- 1:42Speaker 1: had food in days, and it's just it's a very
- 1:46Speaker 1: different reaction to seeing a wild animal.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:49Speaker 5: Well, the way it was edited was hilarious because with
- 1:52Speaker 5: the music, they showed the women who were crying every time.
- 1:56Speaker 5: They like that we can't give fire, you know, when
- 2:00Speaker 5: laying by the sticks where they were trying to start
- 2:02Speaker 5: the fire and she's crying looking at it, saying we
- 2:05Speaker 5: can't get warm. And then it shows the men with
- 2:08Speaker 5: the fire blazing and they're like cheering each other on,
- 2:11Speaker 5: they're high five, and then it shows the women the
- 2:14Speaker 5: next day it's so cold and they're crying to each other,
- 2:16Speaker 5: they're huddling, they're mad, you know, like we can't even
- 2:20Speaker 5: find they haven't eaten, they haven't had anything to drink.
- 2:22Speaker 5: They let all that, like the alligator that's too scary.
- 2:25Speaker 5: We're gon let him go, although they could have had
- 2:26Speaker 5: like ten thousands of calories. And the men are like,
- 2:31Speaker 5: like you said, trapping the alligator and in they're cheering.
- 2:34Speaker 5: The women were like, we had to get out of
- 2:36Speaker 5: the boat with our wet clothes. The men are jumping
- 2:39Speaker 5: in the water are fully clothed, and it's like for me,
- 2:42Speaker 5: when I saw this, I thought I was hilarious because
- 2:45Speaker 5: number one, I can't help but go there.
- 2:47Speaker 3: I think all of these feminists who.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Say we don't need men, you know, screw the patriarchy,
- 2:53Speaker 5: We're done with that.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Girl.
- 2:55Speaker 5: You would not survive without the men in this world,
- 2:58Speaker 5: None of us would. And what it boils down to
- 3:01Speaker 5: is each just each gender, they bring something to the
- 3:06Speaker 5: table that helps the other gender, right, because if men
- 3:09Speaker 5: didn't have women, forever, they would go, they lose their minds.
- 3:13Speaker 3: They got to have their women.
- 3:13Speaker 5: They got to have the nurturing, the physical, and all
- 3:16Speaker 5: of that to keep them going. Women want to be protected,
- 3:19Speaker 5: taken care of, you know, the hunter gatherer thing. And
- 3:22Speaker 5: so I thought it was just another example to everybody
- 3:26Speaker 5: who wants to get rid of men.
- 3:28Speaker 3: No, you freaking don't you know?
- 3:30Speaker 1: I was kind of reminded as I was looking at
- 3:32Speaker 1: some of this, I was kind of reminded of this
- 3:33Speaker 1: phrase that you know, a man will build a house,
- 3:36Speaker 1: a woman turns it into a halt kind of you
- 3:39Speaker 1: know that that dual aspect of what you have. Now
- 3:42Speaker 1: when you're out in the wilderness, Masso's hierchy of needs
- 3:46Speaker 1: kicks in, and what you need is food, water, and shelter. Well,
- 3:50Speaker 1: those are things that you know typically you start thinking of, okay,
- 3:53Speaker 1: those are male responsibilities, and then you start getting to
- 3:58Speaker 1: other things you need, like okay, we're going to improve ourselves,
- 4:01Speaker 1: we're going to have friends, we're going to learn new things.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You start thinking, well, those are things that women do well.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So you can't get up my Masso's hierarchy of needs
- 4:10Speaker 1: without both.
- 4:11Speaker 3: And think about this.
- 4:12Speaker 5: They were put in a position where that innate thing
- 4:16Speaker 5: inside of us, like the men were thriving, like to
- 4:20Speaker 5: have a purpose and to you know, have a goal,
- 4:23Speaker 5: get that goal, celebrate with each other because they had
- 4:26Speaker 5: that's their instinct. Whereas women who love, you know, we're
- 4:29Speaker 5: used to the men taking care of the hard stuff. Right,
- 4:31Speaker 5: They're like, I can't start the fire, and there's all
- 4:33Speaker 5: they could do is be emotional with each other.
- 4:36Speaker 1: And it seemed to me like when you watch the clips,
- 4:38Speaker 1: like the men were getting along fabulous. Yes, Like these
- 4:42Speaker 1: guys were now all of a sudden best friends for life.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And if these women never saw each other again,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I think they'd be okay with that.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 4:50Speaker 4: It truly was an experiment. It truly was this isn't
- 4:53Speaker 4: the real deal. This is what it's like in reality, businesses, schools,
- 4:58Speaker 4: in every environment you're seeing how it plays out.
- 5:01Speaker 3: But it cracked me up.
- 5:03Speaker 1: It was literally you know, It's one of those things
- 5:05Speaker 1: I learned fairly early on in my career that with
- 5:07Speaker 1: other men, especially men who are hard to get along with,
- 5:10Speaker 1: if you can actually accomplish an athletic event together, all
- 5:14Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're now best friends in life. And
- 5:17Speaker 1: that's all it takes. If you can throw a football
- 5:19Speaker 1: and that guy can catch the football, your set.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:22Speaker 1: But for women, that doesn't seem to the last beyond the.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Day you're saying that. Maybe it triggered a thought. Maybe
- 5:29Speaker 4: that's why companies love hiring athletes, because there you have
- 5:34Speaker 4: to work with a team. You have to have a
- 5:36Speaker 4: team at a mindset. Maybe that's why, that's one of
- 5:39Speaker 4: the reasons why they love to hire athletes.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I show you the discipline that it takes men and women.
- 5:44Speaker 3: I would love to ask.
- 5:45Speaker 5: The women that were on that show, how do you
- 5:47Speaker 5: feel about men now? How do you feel about the
- 5:51Speaker 5: strengths that they bring to the table.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Do you have a different mindset?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Now?
- 5:54Speaker 3: Do you want a world without men?
- 5:56Speaker 1: I feel like to ask our American Mama's a question.
