And we are progressing and things are good. Oh. Good. Yeah. That's all. That's the highlights of my week. I think. Cool. Today is Friday. It is March 27th.
SPEAKER_00Wow.
SPEAKER_032026. Wow. Right? It's like almost April.
SPEAKER_00Almost April.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Scary.
SPEAKER_03It goes quick.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Quick. Cool week. We did watch movies.
SPEAKER_00We did.
SPEAKER_03Would you like to movie on?
Movie Night Starts With Big Daddy
SPEAKER_00Let's move beyond.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Today we watched Big Daddy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. Yes. So you can tell me about the first movie.
SPEAKER_00Okay. So this movie stars Adam Sandler and he finds a boy. Or a boy finds him-ish. Uh and he takes care of a boy in his own way. Last week he went to school, this week he comes a dad. He's not really fit to be a dad, if you think about it, but then again, maybe most guys are like that. So who's fit to be a dad, really?
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_00He takes care of this boy pretending to be his roommate who went to China. That gets consequences later in the movie. That's what the movie is about.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00What did you think about this movie?
SPEAKER_03I have seen this movie. This was the movie that I thought we were watching last week.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03But uh no. It was the movie that we watched today.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And I like the movie. I think it's funny.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03What do you think?
SPEAKER_00I think it's a really funny movie. I really like this one. I think this might actually have been the first Adam Stanley movie I ever saw. It's either this or Happy Gilmore, but I'm pretty sure I saw this one before Happy Gilmore.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and I honestly can't even say which one was my first. I don't remember.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yeah. I uh because it's between those two. I know we had him on uh VHS and I really like both of them. And yeah, so yeah, I really love this movie. It's fun and emotional. Really like it. It feels like he has most of his friends in this one.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Do you have more?
SPEAKER_03I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03I don't know. There's been a lot of movies set in New York, New Jersey the past couple weeks.
SPEAKER_00It's not really uh m my intention to do that. It's just it just happens. I also realized when we were watching them that this is Big Daddy and Stop or My Mom will shoot. So it's both patterns.
SPEAKER_03You just noticed that?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Because I noticed that when I yeah, when I noticed when I saw both of them, okay.
SPEAKER_00I I saw well, I assumed that it was on purpose. No, no, no, that it wasn't. And I noticed that while watching the movies.
SPEAKER_03Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, oh, oh yeah, cool.
SPEAKER_03I figured that was the connection this week.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, it wasn't.
SPEAKER_03So what was it?
SPEAKER_00Okay, I I didn't really think of a connection that much, but I did find some connection between these. And it's about parenting both movies, kind of. Breakfast has an important part of both of the movies. Or important part, but I mean they're parts of the movies. Those are at least two.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And the titles.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, I didn't really get that connection before. Sometimes I have that intention and sometimes I don't.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Then do you have anything else?
Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot Review
SPEAKER_00No. Do you wanna talk about Stop or My Mom Will Shoot?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. This is a movie with Stallone, and he's an adult and his mom comes to visit. And she is overpowering and she treats him like a child. But I think she has a different background than you think.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And she helps him with a case pretty much. And that's it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03They beat up some bad guys.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Or they don't beat them up, they shoot them.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. They shoot them up.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. What do you think of this movie?
SPEAKER_00I really like this one. I I think it's a fun movie to watch. It's a silly, cute movie, I think. I really like this one. And another personal connection between the two movies is that this might have been the first alone movie I ever saw.
SPEAKER_03Oh. Uh this is the first time I'm seeing it.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I've never I don't think I've heard of this one.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03A lot of the movies I've never heard of.
SPEAKER_00No. But I really like it. What did you think about this movie?
SPEAKER_03I enjoyed it. I got really annoyed with the mom because of how overpowering she was and how like in his business she was. It was really annoying.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh but yeah, um, it it was it was a good movie though. I guess I can see how it could be funny.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, okay. Do you feel like you could be like that as a mom?
SPEAKER_03Not that extreme.
SPEAKER_00No, okay.
SPEAKER_03I mean, sure, there will be moments when I feel like I need to embarrass my kids. Oh yeah. But not at the level that she was taking it. Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I don't think I'm that bad. No. Uh fun facts about this movie, or one fact, is that I think Stallone thinks this is his worst movie.
SPEAKER_03One of them.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Uh he said that, uh, I mean, this and Rhinestone, I think.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because that's what I was thinking of.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I've heard that both of these movies. Pretty sure he actually said that this one was his worst. Okay. Schwarzenegger tricked Stallone into taking this mm part. Okay. Schwarzenegger said that he was interested in making this movie and he had made some comedies before which were big hits, and Stallone and Schwarzenegger was rivals at that time. So Stallone he really needed this role, so it didn't go to Schwarzenegger.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Later on, Schwarzenegger said that he did that just to trick him into taking the role.
SPEAKER_03Alright.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And I like the director to this movie.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Roger Spottyswood, whom we have seen other movies like uh Tomorrow Never Dies, Air America, right. With Mel Gibson, and The Sixth Day with Schwarzenegger.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Fun facts. Yeah. Yeah. I think that was it.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00I like this movie too. I like both of these movies.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I had a good time with these movies today.
SPEAKER_03Good. Alright. Anything else?
SPEAKER_00No, I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03Okay. We usually go to break here.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we usually do.
SPEAKER_03But it is 174, which means that next week will be 175.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_03And that is usually when we do uh kanga reviews.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03We uh uh assign each other rewatches for movies that we liked, but maybe the other one didn't feel the same. And you have one for me.
SPEAKER_00I do have one.
SPEAKER_03So you can go ahead and give me that.
SPEAKER_00Okay. So it's been between two. Okay. And both Stallone movies.
SPEAKER_03Uh is that what I'm supposed to say here?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you don't like Stallone.
SPEAKER_03No. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Both the movies we had problems with the subtitles. You know which ones I'm talking about? I don't remember. Either Cobra, who had the O problem with with the O's, like every O was weird.
SPEAKER_03Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Or Nighthawks, which we watched in the States and it didn't have uh subtitles at all. Okay. I decided to be nice to you and give you Cobra because I'm pretty sure you liked that a little bit better than uh Nighthawks and Which one do you like better? I like Cobra better.
SPEAKER_03Okay. And then that's the point.
SPEAKER_00I like both. Cobra is better. Yeah, that's yours.
SPEAKER_03Okay. I'm just gonna give this one to you because because that's all.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Because I recall you maybe, maybe deep inside not enjoying it nearly as much as I did.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Okay. I'm gonna give you Breakfast Club.
SPEAKER_01Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh, I think you only didn't like Judd Nelson.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And he is my favorite part. So you need to re-watch it and change your mind.
SPEAKER_00I need to like him now.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03At least try. I mean, you kind of know his background, so you can kind of understand how why he is the way he is.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03And see that he's actually kind of funny.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03And that's it. Now we both have movies. We're gonna go home and watch them, and we will give you the full breakdown next week.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So now that we've covered that, would you like to take a break? Yeah. Alright. We will be right back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, let's take a break.
Break And Coming Back
SPEAKER_03Alright, bye. We are back. We are. We're here and we're back.
SPEAKER_00That's true.
SPEAKER_03And we're ready to go.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03Home.
SPEAKER_00Okay. You're already there. Home.
SPEAKER_03Alright. I'm ready for you to go home.
AI List Pros Of Being A Man
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yeah. Sorry. Bye.
SPEAKER_03Alright, so today we have a really fun topic. Okay. So um we have our friend open eyes.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Open AI. My daughter calls it chat dippity. Dibbity.
SPEAKER_00Dipity.
SPEAKER_03Dibity. Dibbity dippity.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03Chat bibbity bobbity boop. And um, our very fun topic that we are going to learn about is men and women. So it's just something I was curious about.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03What uh it would come up with. So, Matias.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_03I'm going to start off for you. Top ten pros and cons. No, not even top. Just ten pros and cons of being a man.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03I believe it's ten each.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Ten pros, twin, ten, ten, twin towers. Twin towers.
SPEAKER_00I saw them in the movie today.
SPEAKER_03Today?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I missed that part.
SPEAKER_00Big daddy. I'm like, oh, there they are again.
SPEAKER_03Ah, they keep doing that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Ten pros and ten cons. Okay. That's what I was trying to say. Okay. Starting with pros of being a man.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Number one. Physical strength advantage. Do you honestly believe that men are stronger than women?
SPEAKER_00Physically?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well.
SPEAKER_03Are you stronger than me?
SPEAKER_00Um well, it depends on where we're talking about.
SPEAKER_03Where? Yeah. Whoa. Where are you stronger than me?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Maybe arms.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00Uh, but I I'm pretty sure you're stronger with legs than me.
SPEAKER_03I currently am not stronger than you at all because my shoulder is hurting again. So there's no way I could beat you in anything.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03Well don't even try for like uh arm wrestling or anything, because that's gonna hurt.
SPEAKER_00I haven't tried trained for so long.
SPEAKER_03I haven't tried.
SPEAKER_00I haven't tried for so long.
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_00So I don't know. I'm pretty I'm pretty weak.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Interesting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Uh I'm I'm going with all the accents.
SPEAKER_03We're just gonna test them all out and see where we land. So on average, men have greater upper body muscle mass and bone density, which can be useful in physical demanding tasks and certain sports. But I don't know. That part kind of it feels a little unfair. Yeah. Because some women can be stronger than some men.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_03Very like average.
SPEAKER_00There are definitely women stronger than me.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00No questions there.
SPEAKER_03Number two. Men have less social scrutiny about appearance. Men are often judged less harshly on body shape, aging, clothing, or makeup standards. So if you're not wearing makeup today, I'm not gonna judge you. No. It's okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I know. That is a fact.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Because I I don't I uh I mean it might be a shocker to all the people, but I don't wear ma makeup. And uh yeah, I don't really care that much about appearance.
SPEAKER_03I see that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you can tell.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh I wasn't sure if you could tell, but uh now that you said so, I'm sure.
SPEAKER_03Are you super self-conscious um about your appearance, I guess?
SPEAKER_00I mean, I guess uh I don't know. In some ways I don't like being uh uh uh you know shirtless.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh and uh because you know my fat m fat belly uh and uh yeah uh things like that. I don't really care that much about my face. Okay, but I know it's not uh very nice to look at, but that's what it is. Yeah. I could make it prettier, I guess, but I I don't really care.
SPEAKER_03With makeup.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I mean uh I have uh dry skin, so I could mm you know moisturize, but uh I don't. I don't even know what's to to have to moisturize it.
SPEAKER_03Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00I guess you uh you do that because I moisturize my face.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And it's the same with my hands, I don't really moisturize moist the eye though them either.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Sorry, I got stuck on the moisturizer because I uh I remembered in the movie he put the milk in the moisturizer bottle.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03So that it could just it pump down the milk. I like that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I like it too, but you really have to clean that thing before during so.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, maybe. Why not moisturize your internal organs as well?
SPEAKER_01I know.
SPEAKER_03Be softer.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, maybe.
SPEAKER_03Okay, number three. Men have lower risk of certain forms of harassment. While not immune, men statistic statistically uh experience lower rates of sexual harassment and assault in many societies. I not many men get catcalled.
SPEAKER_00Okay, no, that's true.
SPEAKER_03That was that. Alright, number four, men don't have pregnancy burden. Uh you can't get pregnant. So that's a pro.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I guess. Unless unless you're Schwarzenegger.
SPEAKER_03Then you can get pregnant.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, in junior.
SPEAKER_03Nothing is off the table for Schwarzenegger.
SPEAKER_00That's true.
SPEAKER_03Freedom from the physical risks and long-term biological demands of pregnancy and childbirth. Although you can get other people pregnant, but that you don't have to really deal with that if you disappear from existence. Number five, higher average earnings. In many countries, due to systemic and historical factors, men often earn more on average in similar roles.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So that's why I always ask you to pay because I'm assuming you have more money than I do.
SPEAKER_00I don't think that really applies to Sweden nowadays. Because I think uh we actually get uh I mean uh treated fairly if you uh by doing the same job.
SPEAKER_03Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00And but uh then again it might be easier for guys to get you know higher paid jobs.
SPEAKER_03Probably.
SPEAKER_00But uh while there if a woman works up to that level I think they still get the same pay but yeah but I think a woman needs to work harder to get there.
SPEAKER_03Definitely yeah yep yeah number six this is basically what you were just saying leadership bias advantage men are frequently perceived as more natural leaders in corporate and political spaces so you are more likely to get promoted than a woman. Yeah number seven men have greater encouragement toward independence. Boys are often socialized to be autonomous and self-reliant early.
SPEAKER_00Yeah okay this doesn't apply to you no all right number eight physical safety perception men feel safer walking alone at night in many places due to lower perceived vulnerability I guess but I I still uh think uh walking uh alone uh you know later at night can be a little bit scary even for me but I I'm sure it's more much more scarier for uh ladies.
SPEAKER_03Yeah this reminds me of a comedian that I uh saw a video of once uh she was asked uh what she would do if she was a man for a day and she was saying that usually people would go straight for you know playing with yourself um but she said that she would go for a walk late at night.
SPEAKER_00Yeah yeah I can see that without fear yeah and I I'm also kind of on the you know the opposite side of that because I feel like I I don't want to pose as a threat to girls. If there's a girl walking and I'm behind her yeah I'm like I don't want her to feel uneasy with me behind her.
SPEAKER_03Right. So uh yeah the that's also you know how do I do you like change your direction and find a different path even if it has to be like a little bit longer to get to where you're going.
SPEAKER_00I don't maybe I would it depends on uh sometimes I might like um you know try to pass her and you know go around her a bit so I'm not near her and like pass her so she's like okay it now she got eyes on me. Now she knows that I'm not dangerous. Yeah you know that that's my sometimes when I don't feel like I have another way to go. Right. Sometimes I just take another route.
SPEAKER_03Yeah okay more guys should do that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Advice for the guys out there. Try not to be a threat.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh number nine age related social benefit aging in men is often framed as gaining authority or gravitas rather than losing value. Hmm yeah depending on how old you are I guess.
SPEAKER_00Yeah I guess so I still think we're uh I mean we we still have like crisis uh midlife crisis yeah midlife crisis and you know stuff like that so I um I think that women go through the same thing but it's seen more as like a hormonal breakdown.
SPEAKER_03We're judged because we have natural occurrences in the body and that gets blamed. Oh yeah instead of having them in life crisis.
SPEAKER_00Yeah yeah so I I don't know I um I guess no one really likes to age unless you're a kid. Kids like uh most are kids like want to be older. Want to be around twenty there you could stop. Yeah maybe yeah or thirty yeah I mean still in our thirties I'm I that's quite young. Yeah but you know it's inevitable. Yeah getting older or or unless you die I guess but I don't really want to do that right now.
SPEAKER_03No?
SPEAKER_00No okay ask me later later today?
SPEAKER_03Yeah okay number 10 how about now okay have a now number 10 men have less reproductive time pressure. Male fertility typically extends longer than female fertility at what age are you too old to be getting ladies pregnant?
SPEAKER_00I I don't know I think you could what from what I know you you can go for a long long time as a guy.
SPEAKER_03But like if if it's you okay how old do you think you'd have to be before you'd be like I think I'm too old for this okay yeah I should not be getting other ladies pregnant.
SPEAKER_00Yeah that's uh that's a good question because uh I mean sure you can still be making babies at like 70 five yeah yeah sure I mean uh but when should you stop yeah I don't know because uh I mean I I'm thinking of like um these old uh actors and celebrities who get you know kids when they're in their 70s and everything I'm like that's so old yeah you're when you die your kid will still be a kid probably yeah so it's like uh um um Chuck Norris he was like 60 when he got his uh you know youngest kids but okay I mean there's they're adults now so I mean that's that's better. Yeah um but and uh it's so yeah I don't know I feel kind of like 60 might be a little much though in in the 50s maybe somewhere.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00I don't know what what do you think?
SPEAKER_03For a man yeah I don't really know I mean I think that currently I'm thinking like 40s. Okay. Anything more than that feels like it's pushing it.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm but yeah I also feel like um people tend to get older these days so as what okay you know what we're not getting younger. Well no that's true. No I'm thinking uh maybe before they people died in their like sixties or seventies now they can move on to like eighties and nineties.
SPEAKER_03Oh like a longer lifespan.
SPEAKER_00Yeah okay uh that's what I meant. I noticed that everyone's just getting older nowadays uh so yeah the so I feel like if you think you uh that the kids could still be adults when you die that would but yeah that's hard to say because you could die tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00So you never know. But I don't want to die.
AI List Cons Of Being A Man
SPEAKER_03Okay. Okay, still not still all right keep that in mind. Yeah okay now comes some cons of being a man this is why we don't want to be a man. Okay. Okay. Number one emotional restriction norms cultural expectations often discourage men from off openly expressing vulnerability or sadness.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah the I mean uh I agree with that because I almost never cry. I feel the feelings I but I never shed a tear.
SPEAKER_03Why? I don't know what has happened to you I don't know what kind of trauma have you experienced that shut you down completely?
SPEAKER_00I'm not sure I'm gonna find out yeah uh I'm not shedding tears but yeah I like I said I feel the feelings I still get the feelings but I just can't cry.
SPEAKER_03Alright I'm gonna get to that later okay but now I'm gonna give you number two the second con of being a man which is higher suicide rates. You sure you don't want to die?
SPEAKER_00Alright I'm pretty sure men statistically have testically um men's testicles testicles uh have higher suicide rates in many countries okay yeah that's not nothing to laugh at no it's not funny no don't do that no I I is basically what we should be telling people stop that I'm not planning on it and uh yeah yeah I tell other people to don't do that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah number three yes dangerous job concentration men are overrepresented in high risk occupations such as construction mining and military roles we want you guys to put yourselves in danger. Yeah I guess we're expendable you are stronger and you can handle it. Yeah and I mean you don't cry so you're okay.
SPEAKER_00Women live longer than men.
SPEAKER_03Because you all die. Yeah because we have those jobs I guess yes so maybe we should never uh have kids exactly and then there's not gonna be any babies anymore. No and then society ends because everyone gets old and then they die and there's no babies.
SPEAKER_00Yeah I guess if society ends it's because of us because of this podcast. Yes that too because of men yeah that uh I'm not disagreeing with that either uh number four pressure to be a provider and protector social expectations can create intense stress around income success and stoicism yeah okay yeah I don't know stoicism that might have been it I don't know uh so you have to make money you have to be successful and you have to stoism yeah and uh it's a lot of pressure yeah I can't do it because I'm a man yeah I mean and also bugs we have to take care of the bugs spiders and uh that's true yeah so that that's scary I like to say that I don't mind spiders but I don't really want to handle them either. No.
SPEAKER_03So that's a man problem.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh the wasps I'm not gonna do it. No nope no thank you. No because they've hurt me before I don't want them to do it again.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So someone stronger than me has to take care of that. Um okay number five lower life expense expect expect expect expectancy yeah that's what's that one word expect expect expect expectancy expenses and in the end I still mispronounce it I got the rest of the word out but I did not pronounce it correctly so men tend to have shorter average lifespans than women because you're all dying. Oh yeah because you're all put into high pressure situations and military and construction and coal mines and stuff. Yeah and that's why and also you're dumb so you end up getting killed.
SPEAKER_00Yeah that's also true.
SPEAKER_02Number six limited parental leave support in many regions so sciethole suicidal suicidal expectations sometimes discourage men from taking full caregiving roles we just expect you to to kill yourself I have to take care of my child I'm getting might as well just go.
SPEAKER_03Yeah the thing that annoys me the most is when men call taking care of their children babysitting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah that that's not a parent's work.
SPEAKER_03I am not paying you to take care of your own child no even if that's what you expect me to do. I expect you to take care of your own child if I need to go do something else. If I need to go work if I need to uh take care of myself uh go work out or work right I mean like I don't get it no but that's a passive aggressive issue yeah I mean as a parent you can't say that you're a babysitter to your own kid. Right.
SPEAKER_00That doesn't work like that.
SPEAKER_03Uh no number seven suspicion in caregiving roles men working with children may face unfair suspicion or stigma. So yeah you get accused of mistreating the child because you're a man working at uh preschool or something. Yeah and uh well that's not fair and I don't completely agree that that's right. No I mean everyone should have a background control or check before they take care of children.
SPEAKER_00But then again I I feel like if if the kid has uh trouble at home I think uh people would suspect the dad in the first place even if it might be the mother who right yeah maybe I don't I'm not sure but yes I don't want to go around generalizing because that's that's not cool.
SPEAKER_03No that's not okay.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_03But yeah I don't know be suspicious of everyone.
SPEAKER_00Yeah that's what I do.
SPEAKER_03Yeah I mean not everyone is perfect and even women can be mean to children and mistreat them. Yeah. Yeah uh so that's not fair. Okay. Number eight higher incarceration rates. Men are disproportionately represented in prison populations. More men are sent to prison than women I guess.
SPEAKER_00Okay yeah I can see that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah you're all troublemakers.
SPEAKER_00Yeah uh but yeah I I wouldn't say that it's unfair either. I I don't know but uh I kind of feel like uh yeah men are more troublemakers than some men than women but uh you know or are women seen as more like innocent than men I guess so I guess that's why men often you know gets uh if there's like a domestic disturbance the dad gets the blame because he's a man are more you know so angry yeah and troublemakers right so yeah I I I yeah in in a way I do understand but uh I don't know either.
Lesser Known Facts About Men
SPEAKER_03Number nine men get less social support. So if men often maintain smaller emotional support network compared to women so stop your crying get over it be a man move on yeah is what you're told even though you need to be told like do you want to talk it out and I'm here for you. Yeah yeah even if you do shut it down someone's at least there for you number 10 social stigma around seeking help right same thing therapy medical care and mental health support are sometimes underutilized due to masculinity norms so even even the therapists are like be a man grow up stop crying and get over it. Yeah you're fine and that's not good. No stop the next part is here are some 10 okay here are 10 some 10 here are 10 lesser known facts about men.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Number one men fall in love faster that I don't have experience with but it says some studies suggest men report falling in love slightly earlier than women on average while social scripts paint men as emotionally slow the internal firework can ignite quickly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah but I think that might be true but we also feel like we have to hide it longer maybe maybe maybe you feel it but you don't express it.
SPEAKER_03Exactly okay do you have experience in this maybe yeah okay number two few people notice it okay male brains shrink faster with age that makes sense that explains a lot brain volume decreases in everyone over time but some research shows men experience slightly faster overall brain volume decline after midlife.
SPEAKER_00Okay I don't know I I I haven't gotten there yet I don't know number three men are more likely to be colorblind are you colorblind I'm not sure I because I feel like sometimes when especially so uh some people uh are very like uh you know particular about uh uh some uh colors and I'm like oh that's pink that's not pink that's whatever else this is pink I'm like oh they kind of look the same to me okay hey Google what's pink what is pink okay that's not my actual question do you see anything in that picture?

No I was late oh how late uh I think like uh five days five days okay uh did you have developmental complications I don't think so okay okay uh what do you think have you ever experienced infant mortality uh once once okay didn't like it no so you stopped yeah okay unlike it now I'd rather not I wake up now I'll just wake up okay number five testosterone drops when men become fathers after the birth of a child men often experience a measurable drop in testosterone lower levels are associated with increased nurturing behavior biology quietly switches gears well you'll never know what that's like so we'll just keep going number six men are more likely to die of broken heart syndrome probably not you so I don't know tachotsubo cardiomyopathy is more commonly diagnosed in women but when men get it outcomes are often more severe yeah I feel uh yeah maybe has this ever happened to you have I got my heart broken okay yeah sure or yeah maybe okay uh have you ever died from bark broken heart syndrome uh once when I was a baby oh that's pretty early yeah I don't know uh you know men are earlier to get those kind of emotions okay right right I was very early yeah but I was also late so yeah you know I had a complicated situation yeah I I like the nurse who took care of me and you know she healed you yeah she well she she didn't like me back not that way no so that broke my heart baby yeah and I died for a second.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Then I woke up 'cause I didn't like dying.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's the story about that.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Number seven. We're just gonna keep going. Okay. Uh men sweat more, which I feel like we all knew that. So that was not few people knows it.
SPEAKER_01No, not really.
SPEAKER_03Men generally have more active sweat glands and higher sweat rates than women. It is partly linked to I was going to say mustache mask.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But it says muscle mass and hormonal differences.
SPEAKER_00Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_03It's partly linked to how big your mustache is.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03The bigger the mustache, the more sweatier you get.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that that's where the sweat comes from.
SPEAKER_03I think so. The mustache.
SPEAKER_00And just covers the body from there.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. It's like a cloud. Yeah. A mouth cloud.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. That's a mustache.
SPEAKER_03Number eight. Men have fewer close friends. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_04Sorry. Yeah, I see it. I see it. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03On average, men report fewer intimate friendships with women. Oh my gosh, with women. Than women. Let me try this again.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03On average, men report fewer intimate ri relationships with women. No. On average, men report fewer intimate friendships than women. Many men rely heavily on a romantic partner for emotional support. You don't talk about feelings with your guy friends, is basically what it says.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. That's true. That's true. I I feel like I have more uh women friends.
SPEAKER_03That's me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. You and I mean at work were more women who were my friends than men.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Yeah. That's how it is. Yeah. Here's one. Number nine. Yes. Hearing loss hits men earlier. Yes. What?
SPEAKER_00Oh yes, definitely.
SPEAKER_03I would have never guessed.
SPEAKER_00What?
SPEAKER_03Men are more prone to early hearing decline.
SPEAKER_00Okay, scope.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00Are we gonna do a hearing test now?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, let's do that. Some of this is environmental, such as occupational noise exposure, but biological factors may also play a role.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I'm kind of worried about my hearing because I I'm really bad at it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you are.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Number 10. Men experience male pattern baldness.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I never experienced that.
SPEAKER_03No? No. Due to hormone sensitivity, not just testosterone. Sir, your hormones are very sensitive.
SPEAKER_00Oh my head?
SPEAKER_03Because you're bald.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_03It is not about having more testosterone. It is about how sensitive hair follicles are to dehydrate testosterone. Two men can have similar hormone levels and very different hairlines.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. You you know how I earlier said that I don't cry.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00I drop my hair instead.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's not teardrops.
SPEAKER_03It's hair drops. Okay. Alright. This will be a two-parter, and we will talk about women two episodes from now.
SPEAKER_00Okay.

SPEAKER_00Long break.
Why Matias Does Not Cry
SPEAKER_03Can I tell you why you don't cry?
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03I forgot about this part.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh have to jump back to why doesn't Matias cry? You feel the feels, but you can't cry. Matias does feel emotions, but his brain slash body doesn't easily turn them into tears. Short version is he likely learned to hold emotions in, which is common in men. Did you do that? Yeah. Okay. Uh his body may express feelings differently, like tension, thinking, and silence. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Hormones and personality can make crying less likely. Sometimes it's a protective block to avoid losing control.
SPEAKER_01Maybe.
SPEAKER_03Do you feel like you're you're pushing back? Like when things get really tough, do you like feel like you're pushing everything down?
SPEAKER_00I don't think so. I feel more like if I I'm really sad, I want to cry, but it just doesn't come.
SPEAKER_03Okay, okay. Bottom line is not crying is not equal to not feeling. It just means your release valve isn't tears. So what is your release valve?
SPEAKER_00Lumping my throat. You know that lump you get.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh and I'm I'm like, I want to cry that out.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But it yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Uh it just gets stuck. Yeah. Okay. Alright.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I don't know. That's my way of dealing. Yeah, dealing with the sadness.
SPEAKER_03Alright. Well, that was part one. We will get to part two in a couple of weeks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So since we are nearing the end of the episode, would you like to tell me what is ruining your life?
