Taylor de la FuenteGUEST
We have this, like, you have to be humble, and you can't share what you're good at, and you can't share what you're bad at either.
Taylor de la FuenteGUEST
Like, you know that monologue from Barbie with America Ferrera where she's like, "You c-
Katelyn RhoadesHOST
Yes
Taylor de la FuenteGUEST
... you have to, you have to be thin, but you can't be too thin, and you can't tell anybody you wanna be thin, and you have to be healthy," and d- like, the whole there's 100 different criteria you have to meet, and it's just that's operating, I find, in most women's heads in the back behind everything else, whether we know it or not, and you have to actively work to dismantle that.
Chris HaighGUEST
That, that stuff where, you know, there's so much performance, and there's so much that they have to be perfect all the time.
Chris HaighGUEST
Not to basically paraphrase America Ferrera's speech from the Barbie movie, but they have to be perfect all the time.
Chris HaighGUEST
They have to...
Chris HaighGUEST
N- they can't be too thin.
Justin GoodmanGUEST
And so I had a teacher who basically told me, "I'm failing you on every essay you write just based on the grammar.
Justin GoodmanGUEST
You have to rewrite it for a C minus, and then you can move forward." Um, through that and my love of movies, I'm like, "Oh, I think I wanna be in the film business someday." And I was at USC, and I said, "Oh, let's, let's do this." And I had, uh, fraternity bros who were in the, the film industry, and I, um, I was lucky enough to executive produce a film with, um, I'm not fami- sure if you're familiar with America Ferrera.
Justin GoodmanGUEST
She's now most known for the most recent "Barbie" movie she won an Oscar for.
Justin GoodmanGUEST
Um, but I got to produce that film and then realized that I'm not meant for this industry, but I love the creative process.
LooseCoachGUEST
Mm-hmm.
KaylaGUEST
But people are, were completely forgetting that Astrid was originally voiced by America Ferrera.
AmalgamHOST
It don't, it don't matter what's behind the scenes.
LooseCoachGUEST
Which is a Hispanic girl.
George OglethorpeHOST
And I keep hearing rumors of a reunion and maybe a reboot, fingers bloody crossed.
George OglethorpeHOST
I think even America Ferrera, the Ugly Betty, said that she'd do it, so.
Eleanor WalkerHOST
Oh, really?
George OglethorpeHOST
Mm-hmm.
Samantha GunnGUEST
Yeah.
Samantha GunnGUEST
I think my message is that I think a lot about the America Ferrara quote from Barbie.
Samantha GunnGUEST
Like, you're supposed to be this, but you're not supposed to be, you know, so much one way that you're the other way.
Samantha GunnGUEST
I think she starts it with, like, you have to be thin, but you can't say that you want to be thin.
IvanaHOST
She is like living her life.
IvanaHOST
She's a friend of America.
IvanaHOST
She is like she is living a human life.
IvanaHOST
She is reported.
BellaHOST
Yeah.
BellaHOST
And maybe she's the one that, like, goes back and she works at Mattel and she, like, invents, like, Barbie.
IvanaHOST
Well, no, but do you know what obviously is going to happen is that America Ferreira is going to take over Mattel.
IvanaHOST
Oh.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Okay, 2005.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST

Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST

Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Yes.
23 MINS LATER
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
really, really super hard.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Yeah.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
I'm not going to, yeah, America Ferrera, again, very much the stunt.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Very much the stunt.
Tyrell JamesHOST
I want to talk about her...
Tyrell JamesHOST
Can I talk about America Ferrera's speech? Or do I interrupt you before you finish the summary?
Nicole VenetoHOST
No, go
Tyrell JamesHOST
ahead.
Jackie ContessaHOST
I did.
speaker_1GUEST
The monologue? America Ferrera's monologue? Like, that's, like, it's like this tightrope walk sometimes.
speaker_1GUEST
Like, I mean, she's talking about it in one specific area of the world.
speaker_1GUEST
But I think, like, there's, like, Do it, but not too well, but don't half-ass it.
