  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Victoria's Secret sexist or smart?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask her.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: American mama's Mama, Mama enjoining us now our American Mama's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Terry Nederville. Terry, Now, I have been shopping at a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Victorious Secret in the past. Yeah, I think every time
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I went, I was either with my wife or I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was with my then fiance who is now my wife. Right,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've been I don't know if
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I've been in a Victoria Secret without her there. But anyway,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they went through a hard time where their profits are
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: dropping and they went DEI and now all of a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: sudden they're like, Okay, we're not going to do overweight
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: women anymore in underwear, and we're not going to do
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: men in underwear. We're going to go back to the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: supermodels and the really sexy lingerie and the sea through
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: shirts and all this, and all of a sudden, their
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: stock price went from fifteen dollars and forty five cents
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: up to seventy five dollars. Actually, okay, so is Victoria's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Secret sexist or are they being smart?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: If they're being smart again, they knew, they knew how
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to do this. In the beginning, they just sold out
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to the DEI crowd and the crowd that you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: made them believe that they're terrible human beings. They don't
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: include the obese, the transgenders. Let's have some tucket you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: tucket panties or whatever that turns the other people that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you were supposed to be, you know, working.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: For off, your audience, your customer being.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like the Sports Illustrated when they put
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the trans man on the cover as a woman.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And the same time the Victoria's Secret did this. Sports
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: illustrit is doing the same thing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Everybody the beauty pageants. It was the transgenders that were
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: We went through this period. It was it's a real
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: test in ideology, human instincts, because instinctive they knew that
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: this was not right, but they went with it because
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: they wanted to conform. They didn't want to be canceled.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We went through this time period where up was down,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: down was up, right was left, left was right? Nothing,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it was everything was twisted right, and we were being
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: forced to believe something when our instincts were like, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not attracted to that. Even as a woman. When
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you watch the Victorious Secret runway show that they do
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: every year, which also lost a lot of viewers. Here's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that did.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And I want to real quick because I want to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: get your point on this, but real quick, did you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ever watch the Victoria's Secrets show? Of course I never did,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and I think that actually more women watched that I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: did too.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, what men don't understand is, I'll just say
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: this about dressing. We dressed a lot of times for
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: other women, not for our men. We dress for other women.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Like when I go out with my friends, I'm like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I love that scarf. I mean, we
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: just we do that. Whenever I would watch a beauty
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: pageant or Victoria's Secret, it is instinctually I am drawn
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to what looks good. It's almost like I'm like, okay,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I want to do my hair like that?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That body, Okay, how can I get that body? What
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: can I do to get that body? Because it's something
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that you it's attractive and even we can see that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not an idiot.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And what's interesting is for men. No, if there was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a male lingerie fashion show, men would not watch that. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and this is one of those things that I think
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is a fundamental difference between men and women. Women will
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: watch women and women's under there. Men will not watch
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: men and men's under Well, that's to be.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The Victoria's Secret. So you're you're selling to women because
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you're thinking this. You could put this on, attract your mates,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and you'll feel and you'll feel good, you'll feel sexy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: It'll be a wonderful time for you and your mates.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Men watch because they're selling a fantasy. The men watch
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the Victoria's Secret or are these things.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Because they're you know, because the girls are hot.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The girls are hot, and they and there's nothing wrong
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: with a man enjoying or appreciating a woman's body. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they're stupid if they look at their wife and say
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: she's hot. I mean, then you're you're not going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: see your wife in any kind of Victoria Secret thing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe why can't you look like that?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Don't say that, definitely, But they're smart to get back
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to what actually brought them to the top of the chain,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: brought them to be the million dollar company that it is,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: or good.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I mean they if you thought about women's bras women's underwear,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it was victorious yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Because what they've done is they bring they have brought
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the fantasy to life. So so what what I might
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: go in and say, Okay, this works for a size
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: for a body. The size fourteen women comes in and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: says there's a size for them too, same exact lingerie,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and they can say, ooh, I love that. I'm going
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to feel good in that. That's what they were able
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to sell. So when they started trying to force this
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: other attitude about it on us, it turned us off,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and so we weren't into it. Nobody watched the Victoria
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Show whenever it was men. Yet the men are the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: obese right and even now after the year or two
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of Ozimpic, even those models who were so proud of
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: being obese, they've lost all this weight because they even
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be obese and unhealthy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Lizzo is probably the best example of that because she
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: would flaunt, you know, flaunt your curves, and.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Then Megan train her too. They're all in their skimpy
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: little stuff now, you know, showing them off. So we're
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: just finally being real again.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting what's happened to the stock
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: price when they went, oh yeah, we should remember who
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: were selling us right. If you like to ask our
