Episode Overview

This lively episode from The Bert Show explores the topic of body positivity and the social discomfort that comes with women openly expressing pride in a physical attribute. Sparked by a previous show segment, the cast challenges themselves and callers to proudly "brag" about a favorite body part—without self-deprecation or apologies.

The conversation reveals ingrained dynamics around self-critique, comparison, and societal expectations for women regarding their appearance. With a blend of humor and vulnerability, the cast encourages listeners to break the taboo of self-complimenting and own their confidence.

[Bird Show Host]

The Bird show here's why. If you're a guy, you have to listen to the Bird show yesterday, the 9 o' clock hour. Sometimes I feel like when Jeff and I are sitting in here and we're listening to you women, that you are tearing out a page just of the women's playbook and you're giving it to us. And I feel special because I have insight that other guys don't. Yesterday was fascinating. The women on the show told us yesterday that they can not compete. Just check. Other women will check other women's specific body parts out based on how insecure a woman is about her own body part.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, I don't like a region of my body, so I naturally just look at other women in that same region because it's like a comparison. It's like either, oh, somebody's worse than me so you feel better about yourself, or oh, can I achieve that? I wonder what she does in order to achieve that, you know, so you envy. You know, you just kind of keep your, I don't know, it's just kind of gauge yourself based on how other women have that part. You know how it's doing.

[Bird Show Host]

Intern Joanna told us yesterday she doesn't like her thighs. Not at all. So she checks out other women's thighs and she's jealous of other women's thighs.

[Jen Hobby]

There's a lot of body parts like that that you check out on women.

[Bird Show Host]

It was fascinating because as guys, we'll look at other dudes and make a general like, he looks good or he doesn't.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

Yep.

[Bird Show Host]

But we don't ever specifically go, wow, just chest. I wish I had that.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

I would really love Bird's triceps.

[Bird Show Host]

Say that.

[Melissa Carter]

I think it's how you. I think it's how you're judged. I think it's what you're judged on. And women are always judged on how they look. Always by other women, by men, always. We are judged, I mean everywhere by the way we look. And so that's always top of mind. We know what our worst areas are. We're looking at other women and that's the worst area to kind of get maybe some ideas on how. What to do and what it could look like. Whatever. Because I mean, a guy has to have a similar thing. I don't know whether it's the car you drive or what you. What you. The money you make or whatever. And you're always gauging other guys and judging them on the same. So it's the same mentality, just a different thing you're doing it with.

[Bird Show Host]

And I was listening to this yesterday as a guy. I mean, it opened up this whole. Like, I had no idea. I had no idea women did that. And then, Jen, it was only a five second clip. It was a so refreshing for me to hear. But you could see as the words were coming out of her mouth how uneasy she was getting when she said this.

[Jen Hobby]

No, I don't worry about my ass, so I don't look at other people's asses.

[Bird Show Host]

So you think you have a nice ass?

[Jen Hobby]

I do.

[Bird Show Host]

All right. She said it. She said she had a nice ass.

[Jen Hobby]

Well, I mean, like Melissa said, nobody ever talks like that. Because it does seem arrogant and it does seem.

[Callers]

What?

[Jen Hobby]

Self serving or whatever. And it's not that I was like trying to say that. It's just we were talking about the parts that we can bear. But I loathe my thighs. I loathe the way my breasts.

[Bird Show Host]

Stop, stop, stop right there. Because you're justifying feeling good about one area by Ripp. Be on yourself for another.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

You can't do that. When you call up, you can't go, okay, well, I've got really. I don't like my boobs or my arms or anything, but I've got really, really nice legs.

[Melissa Carter]

And I agree with what I'm saying. I don't think you say to say anything else because I do think this

[Bird Show Host]

is the refreshing part. Right.

[Jen Hobby]

You had.

[Melissa Carter]

You're.

[Jen Hobby]

You're just. You are. I'm just saying.

[Q Care Plus Advertiser]

Wait, can I explain it, please?

[Melissa Carter]

No, no, no.

[Jen Hobby]

Because I don't want to Sound like an arrogant jerk.

[Bird Show Host]

What we're saying is you don't like. It's so refreshing because what you have told us is that women your entire lives are beat up and you beat yourselves up on how you look. You're always so insecure about it. You'll find the one flaw that when a woman publicly says what she said yesterday, you saying that you have a nice ass, that is so refreshing because you've never been allowed to actually say it before.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

Just let me say this.

[Bird Show Host]

Whatever. But then when you come back and you say that you have other body parts that are bad, which makes up for your nice ass, it takes away from the specialness of you being proud of me.

[Melissa Carter]

You're being self deprecating. So no.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

The colors that you irritate.

[Jen Hobby]

Why can I not just say that I hate my arms?

[Bird Show Host]

And everywhere you ruin it.

[Melissa Carter]

And that to me, when you talk about, you know, guys in this rule book for, you know, women and everything in page four, she is willing, she rattled off at least six, five or six things that she doesn't like because she feels so bad about saying the arrogant thing. 1.

[Bird Show Host]

And that was my point today.

[Melissa Carter]

That's what a woman. Every woman's brain works is. We would rather be self deprecating than brag about ourselves.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

When you take the calls, then I think the first thing out of the caller's mouth needs to be their and what they like. And you need to be prepared to

[Bird Show Host]

hang up on them. Yeah.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

Cause we just. So it just needs to be like, hi, my name is Wendy and I've got fantastic arms.

[Bird Show Host]

Click.

[Callers]

Yep.

[Bird Show Host]

You can't come on here and go, look, I don't like the way my breasts look or my boot, you know, or my butt, but man, my legs are awesome. You can't do that.

[Jen Hobby]

All right, so we have to go around the room and do it first.

[Bird Show Host]

I think she's right. You gotta lead by example.

[Jen Hobby]

I can't really brag about anything.

[Melissa Carter]

Come on, Wendy.

[Bird Show Host]

There's gotta be something about you physically that you think looks.

[Jen Hobby]

Come on, girl, brag.

[Bird Show Host]

Say it.

[Melissa Carter]

Brag. Brag it.

[Q Care Plus Advertiser]

Say it.

[Jen Hobby]

I don't have anything to brag about it.

[Bird Show Host]

It's difficult.

[Jen Hobby]

Do it. Yes, I do. I really don't.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

Come on.

[Bird Show Host]

How about your anything? Eyebrows?

[Melissa Carter]

Come on, teeth, something?

[Jen Hobby]

I love the way my eyes look. Okay, there we go.

[Bird Show Host]

Are you just saying that?

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah.

[Jen Hobby]

Say, my name is Wendy and I have beautiful eyes. My name is Wendy. I have beautiful eyes. See?

[Bird Show Host]

But inside she's going, but I don't like my ass or my boobs.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah.

[Bird Show Host]

Stop. No, don't do it. Don't do it.

[Melissa Carter]

Lord, I will say it. I am Melissa Carter and my legs will roc your world.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]

Now I think we need to make Jen do it again. And cuz she couldn't do it earlier.

[Jen Hobby]

Go ahead, Jen. Come on, Jen.

[Co-host or Male Commentator]
