know, in our culture, Polynesian culture, we rock. Okay? So he says, Polynesian culture, this is something that they do. And I, I get that he's Polynesian, he's Samoan, and Polynesian men wear grass skirts. So I feel like if he was really. I'm Calling BS on this because I don't think that Tom Brown came to him and said, hey, can you wear this please pleated skirt because you're Polynesian. That's not the kind of skirts that Polynesians wear. So if he was trying to, you know, this, this ode to his culture, I just don't think that that's what this was. I think that Tom Brown wanted to put him in a skirt because, oh, how can we find like a really masculine man and emasculate him on the red carpet and force him into doing this? And then he can't say no because, oh my gosh, like, if he does he. If he says no, then it's a headline, you know. So I think that they were just saying, dwayne the Rock Johnson, how cool would it be for this macho man to wear a skirt? They get him to sign onto it. If he needs to tell himself that it's because of his Polynesian culture, fine. But that's not the kind of skirts that they wear anyway. Actually, Irish and Scottish men wear pleated skirts and kilts. It's not unheard of. But, you know, I'm all for honoring your culture. I'm all for pushing the envelope. But let's not lie. He. He said in the end of that clip that he said that most manly men wear skirts. And I, I disagree. I don't think that most manly when wear skirts. I think some can if it's part of their culture, certain wedding celebrations and what have you, but this was not that. And beyond the obsession with feminizing men, Hollywood's Ozempic obsession was on full display last night. And Vera Wang was one of these ones that was getting people talking and a little worried about her health. She's 76 years old. I will say she looks really good for 76. She's aged beautifully. But this is very, very thin. And she's always been very thin. But people are suspecting that maybe. And I don't know if she's on a GLP1 or not, but this is the craze that is taking over Hollywood. And it has become somewhat of the new beauty standard to be very gaunt. And she is certainly on trend, if you are following that trend. And then Olivia Wilde, we have, we showed you this side by side. I think it was last week. And she is a beautiful woman. I mean, Olivia Wilde really is a beautiful woman. But the other day on the red carpet, she was caught in maybe a not so good angle moment. And this is got again, people talking and speculating whether or not she's on GLP1s and whether or not she has taken the weight loss too far. She's got this temporal wasting on the sides of her eyes. Her eyes are bulging. The under eye bags are a little more pronounced. She's lost weight and volume in her cheek area and you could see it in her neck. I mean, she's just, she's lost a lot of weight and people made fun of her for this, saying that she looked like, you know, Gollum or something. And even her own brother made fun of her. And then she posted this video. Watch. Olivia Wilde, do you care to address recent rumors that you're a resurrected corpse? Listen, that is a fisheye lens and I admit. Is that the best, Is that my best angle? Was that my best ever look? No, no. It's startling. It's a startling image. It was a fisheye lens and not the, I don't know why I was so close to the camera. I didn't have to be. That's not the truth. Do you have any more questions? I'm not, I'm not dead. Okay, so you heard it here first. You heard it from her self. She is not dead. Although people were making fun of her for looking like a corpse. I do give her credit for joking and I, I, I appreciate when people can participate in some self defense deprecating humor. I think that that's a good quality to have in yourself. But I, I don't think that it was just the angle. I think she is very thin. She looked better in that video. But here she was at the Met gala last night and you know, she does look better than the Gollum photo. But I will say her shoulder blades are very pronounced. Her shoulders are very pronounced. She is still very, very thin. And you could see, see that loss of volume in her face. And maybe it's just because of aging, maybe it's because of something else. I guess we'll never know. But Ashley Graham is a plus size model in the industry and she has been sounding the alarm on what she says are shrinking bodies. She says that in this era of GLP1s, Runway bodies and other models, they're, they are shrinking. And she says that this progress feels precarious. It's disheartening. She said that there was a pendulum that swung. I'm going to say that this was around 20, 20, 2021 when the entire world went crazy. That's when the body positivity movement really took off. And she said there was a pendulum that swung. That was so Body acceptance, positivity. Everybody be who they want to be. And now it's going back to this whole opposite way that feels like a smack in the face to women who felt like they had a voice. So maybe Ashley Graham is the last of the Mohicans in the body positivity movement that really does love her big body. But I'll tell you what the Ozempic craze has proved to all of us, that you don't need to pretend to be happy in your bigger fat body or convince other people that you are happy when you're not. When you can get down to a size 2 in just a few months, no gym membership required. And if you don't want to give up fast food, you don't have to do that either. You can have it all. And it's amazing how a lot of these body positivity queens, whether it's Lizzo or Meghan Trainor, they have very quickly abandoned the body positivity movement. They were, be yourself, Love your body. Fat is beautiful. Fat is healthy. Love yourself the way that you are. Um, people will love you if you love yourself. This. These kinds of cliches. And they have abandoned all of that. As soon as there was a quick fix on the market, they took it. And now Meghan Trainor, Lizzo, they have traded in newer, thinner bodies. And the only reason why bigger people wanted to normalize being bigger was to justify their behavior and make it socially acceptable for them to not change. And change is hard. Lifestyle changes to lose weight are hard. Not everyone has. Not everyone is up to the challenge. So people who might really need to lose weight to save their lives and prevent other comorbidities may stay the way that they are because they were coddled by the body positivity movement. All in all, the body positivity movement is damaging because it tells fat people. It tells fat people that fat is healthy and it's okay to stay that way when it is not. We should all be getting thinner. And I will say, as much as I'm against GLP1s, I'd rather people be thinner and not die from being overweight. But then, you know, with all the other issues that being on these drugs brings, I don't know what's worse, but I wish people would just lose weight the natural way. But whatever you got to do. So it's just. It's interesting that all of these women are. All of a sudden, they are just. It just collapses. Like, the entire narrative collapses when they. They say that, you know, that not. They can't even resist the, the quick fix and the easy way out. Even the people that made it their whole brand and their whole personality, they're lying. They were lying to themselves and they were lying to everyone else. And they're eating it up. Hollywood is eating it up. And speaking of health and wellness and fitness, President Trump reinstated the Presidential Fitness Test. He signed the executive order back in July establishing the president, the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. And yesterday, he signed the proclamation bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test, which was established by Eisenhower and phased out by Obama because, get this, the Obamas wanted to take a less competitive approach. So I guess this was Michelle Obama's let's move campaign, encouraging kids to just move more, not to put any pressure on it or be. To be better or healthier than someone else. Would it kill anyone to light a little competitive fire under the asses of American children who are obese and desperately need to run more often and faster and longer and work out harder? Competition is good for people. I would say it's good for children. It pushes them out of their comfort zone. It teaches kids that there are winners and losers. Not everybody gets a participation trophy. It's a necessary life skill that kids these days don't get. Thanks Obama. But thanks to President Trump, we are so back. And the Presidential Fitness Test, I remember it. Do you guys remember it?
