Speaker 1: Hey, they're folks. That is Tuesday, November fourth, or weight is over. We got word. We've all been waiting, and now we know who the sexiest man on the planet is for twenty twenty five, and welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Rohobes. I don't know how anybody could take issue with this. Even People Magazine when they named their sexiest man alive they put in parentheses. Yeah, we nailed it.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: That was pretty funny.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: And yes, by the picture he's holding a dog, he just took a dip in a chili sea.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Yes, sexy stuff all around.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: But I have to admit, as much as I am a fan of his work, upon googling him, his name is not a household name.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: I did not know the.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: Name, and some people obviously will know it and love it in certain circles. I did not know it at all. I'll explain how I even found out that the sexiest man was being announced today. It was through a Google trend search this morning. I'll explain that. But his name is a myst Jonathan Bailey, And if you don't know his name, you certainly know his face and you might even know his body at this point. For some of you out there, but he has robes for the past several years, been on a come up, and he is on a hot streak a no pun intended, but a hot streak his career, the likes of which he hasn't experienced. And this just stops it all off.
00:01:26
Speaker 3: It's true when you start reading about his background, this is a true actor. I mean he was trained professionally starting at the age of seven. He's somebody who loves the art and the craft of it, so you can't even tell. It's very sweet seeing him respond and react to this title that it's not that it's embarrassing, but he takes it with a grain of salt and he gets it.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: He gets it.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: But yes, he had fun with it.
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing what he loves. And it's not bad to be admired while you're doing.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: Okay, bridgeton Wicked, Jurassic World Rebirth, H's jars in all of that. So as you know he's been doing it for the past five years, he has just exploded.
00:02:02
Speaker 3: Did you see me this morning when I you mentioned Bridgerton, I'm like, Bridgerton? What is?
00:02:06
Speaker 2: Who is he?
00:02:07
Speaker 3: And Bridgerton? Because I just saw his face and it had been a year or two before or since I had seen it.
00:02:12
Speaker 2: I pulled it off.
00:02:13
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh, it's Lord Anthony On Bridgerton, because when you had said that he is the first openly gay man. When I first woke up we were talking about the stories of the day. I was surprised because I did not think he was gay. When you watch Bridgerton, it's like the steamiest heterosexual almost love making in front of the camera kind of scenes.
00:02:36
Speaker 2: You could imagine. It's one of the reasons why the series is so popular.
00:02:39
Speaker 3: Yes it's well written, yes it's well acted, but they have some really steamy scene.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: So you taken those things have been powerhouses. I mean Jurassic even Jurassic World Rebirth. He looks totally different in that one, but even that movie. I mean, these things we're talking about have been at the height of Hollywood for the past several years, and he is a starring a central role. He's a wildly talented it's not only a good looking dude, but a talented guy. To hear he's been you know, he decided when he was five he wanted to be an actor and started being trained and performing at the age of seven. He has been holding this crab. He's a brit right, He's a theater guy. He's all this. He is just I didn't know about him, but I've been learning about him this morning, and I have become a fan in reading about him. I don't think I have.
00:03:25
Speaker 2: Well.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: I saw Wicked. I was forced to see.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: You were forced to see Wicked with Sabine and me.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: Yes, that's okay. I saw Wicked obviously a great movie. But he was wonderful in that I wasn't familiar to read about his background. I'm room foritous to you. I like to say, you know what.
00:03:38
Speaker 3: I love the story he told about where he was when he got the call from People magazine. He said he was literally playing Richard the Second at London's Bridge Theater when he got the call. He said, you go slightly mad. The only thing matter than doing Richard the Second was to be invited into this.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: I mean he considered it an honor, obviously, but just funny.
00:03:59
Speaker 3: The juxtaposition of where he was and the role he was playing, and then to get that phone call from People magazine.
00:04:05
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, you're the sexiest man alive.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: And the announcement official who's made. They've been doing this for several years of partnership with the Tonight Show. But it's cool how they do the reveal, and he was as charming as ever last night. He called the whole thing completely absurd. But rools, I don't think it's a big part you mentioned. It's kind of just an afterthought. He's the first gay man. I think that's supposed to be a big deal, but I like that it doesn't feel that way. It's just whatever. Okay, I know it's monumental. I'm not taking away from that, but I like that there's no argument. It has nothing to do with whether he's gay or he's straight. It's a good looking, talented dude who is doing gangbusters in Hollywood, and that's what this honor is supposed to be about. It almost feels like it's a non issue. I shouldn't say issue, you know what I'm saying.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: I know, you know what.
00:04:49
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it like that, But that is a really cool point to make that this isn't controversial, that this isn't something that people are questioning because he isn't hetero sexual.
00:05:00
Speaker 2: And honestly, I guess I.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: Had never even thought about the fact that and this may just be because I'm not as in tuned to you know, LGBTQ plus issues, but I hadn't realized there wasn't an openly gay man on the cover. It wouldn't have surprised me to learn that we've been celebrating sexual prowess regardless of what team you play for, how many teams you play for.
00:05:24
Speaker 2: I'm surprised this it's taken this long.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well, when we go through some of the names of the guys, you're like, that's not a gig gal exactly.
00:05:31
Speaker 2: When you start looking at You're like, oh, yeah, I guess, yeah, okay.
00:05:34
Speaker 1: Oh, Denzel Richard gear. But it is a cool but that's a cool on and it was one of the fun things for me at least. But that's how I find out found out. Actually I didn't know the announcement was coming. And you know, every morning I checked Google Trends when I wake up, and one of the trending topics on Google over the past four hours at least that when I checked, is Jonathan Bailey gay.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: Because people weren't believing it, you know what, there were probably Bridgerton fans. I'm telling you you watch him in that role and you're imagining, you know, who is his girlfriend? Who you know? Is he married? Like you wouldn't think, oh, is he gay? So that makes a lot of sense that that was trending.
00:06:18
Speaker 1: Why people asking this about this guy I've never heard of and I clicked. I'm like, oh, this is what happened last night. This is your man. He of course has been holding onto this. They have to keep this such a hush hush hush secret. But the cover, if you haven't seen it yet, he's on the cover with his dog.
00:06:34
Speaker 3: Looks a little bit like Brodie, a younger maybe, well like a better groom, well loved.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: Yes, the dog looks happy, but he's that's his dog, Benson, he said. Benson is the only person he told the secret that he had been named.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: He has three older sisters. It's so surprising to me that he would not have told one of them. But he wouldn't tell us if he told them. I mean, you feel like you could keep that secret with your sisters?
00:07:02
Speaker 1: Could Who would? I? I don't can't imagine.
00:07:04
Speaker 3: Not.
00:07:05
Speaker 1: There's certain people, no matter what happens in your life, certain people you're gonna tell, aren't you?
00:07:09
Speaker 3: I always so the rule has always been, whether it's a rumor or it's something exciting, you always tell one person, and then that person always tells one person means everybody's gonna.
00:07:17
Speaker 2: Know, which means everyone knows.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: But you, I do believe there are people in your life that you could tell that they would and I think everyone needs to have that one person.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe he I don't have that one. Hello, you're staring at her.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: No, you've told some stuff before that you weren't supposed to let go of, and you know that and I found out about it after the fact, and it crushed us and it put us back several months in this relationship.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I don't even know you want me to.
00:07:43
Speaker 1: I could start naming some stuff, but this is about Jonathan Bailey right now. So let's stay on the sexy path that we're on now. From this article, we did learn some things about Jonathan Bailey. I want you to fill in these blanks as well. You saw the part where they just had him fill in the blank. Yes, I thought that was cute, But I have an irrational fear of blank. Is the example I'm using. His answer was, I have an irrational fear of snakes. That makes sense. What's yours sharks? Okay, what's yours? Irrational fear snakes?
00:08:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought. I you told me that. By the way, if you see a snake, I am not going to be your guy. I am not going to be your hero.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: I'll deal with a rat, a roach, or whatever else. But if it's a snake, You're gonna have to deal sister.
00:08:22
Speaker 2: That's funny.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: Another film in the blank form was at a party I can't wait to blank? His answer was leave.
00:08:30
Speaker 3: And your answer is leave, so right now the two of you are basically mine would be dance.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: I can't wait to dance? You mean jump? Stop? Okay, all right? Next line for filling the blank for him, every guy should blink. His answer was have a gay friend.
00:08:46
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: What is yours?
00:08:48
Speaker 2: Every guy should m Every guy should know how to cook.
00:08:58
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm the sky.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: I know I'm just basing it off of what I have in my sexy sexy fiance. What what do you think every guy should.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: To stick with his theme, I'll say every guy should have a black friend. It will it will help you out of a lot of badsy, you know.
00:09:14
Speaker 2: What that is a really really good point. I love that.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: Fill in the blank for him. People are always surprised when I blank. His answer was do a backflip really badly. I don't know where that comes from.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: At least he tries and hasn't broken his head so far. People always surprised when you what, am quiet and listen?
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Uh surprised? No, we are shocked, we are floored. We think the earth is wow.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: I had a little self deprecating humor there, and you took it, and you like, just what with it?
00:09:46
Speaker 1: Because you gave permission to dog you in such a way because you started with it.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: Also the last and no, people are always surprised when I You feel.
00:09:53
Speaker 1: When I when I when I tell them I'm from Arkansas, people think I'm a city.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: But for some reason, Yeah, you have that that metrosexual vibe.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: Okay, oh god, my game plan this has turned into a different thing. It's supposed to be about down now. My game plan for getting older is blank. His answer was to embrace it all. Yeah, it yours.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: My game plan for getting older is to act as young as I possibly can.
00:10:21
Speaker 1: My plan for getting older is enjoying every last minute. Man, I even get pissed to myself these days when I'm down, I'm like, dude, you don't have time for this. Yep, life is short.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: It's so true. I said that's I said that same thing to myself the other day. I agree, there it is.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: This was kind of a cool answer. He was asked what a perfect date night would entail, and it included legoses.
00:10:46
Speaker 3: I know this was funny, he said, it totally depends. I love a walk, I do love dinner, theater, films. It depends what number date. You know, it's like date one hundred legos, although we Brits say it singular lego. I didn't realize that and pizza. Some of my best date nights had been lego dates.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool. What's you did it either? What's your perfect date night?
00:11:09
Speaker 1: Uh? This great little restaurant I found recently in Tribeca that has this great spatch cock chicken that you can share with a date. And this particular Bardender makes the best, the best in Tribeca. I would argue, Skinny Margarita's, that would be a great date if it's raining. I used to want to be in a movie if it's raining. But no, no, no, no, no, I want to be home to take it in the beautiful view and see it all. That's a perfect date night to me.
00:11:41
Speaker 2: Well, I think you just nailed my perfect date nights too, because I actually was.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: On that date with you, so it was pretty awesome. I would say maybe just like start start with a horror movie and then end with that dinner that you just described.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because we could do horror movies morning, noon, night exactly. Doesn't have to end the night with that. This was a cool answer as well. Trait's most important to him in a relationship.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: I love this and he nailed it.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: Communication and being clear transparency is absolutely utmost, utmost utmost and really supporting, really cheerleading and watching someone thrive should be a real turn on.
00:12:13
Speaker 2: I agree his.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Answer here about your worst habit and this guy.
00:12:18
Speaker 3: You guys are the same person. This is your worst habit for sure. He likes dogs, though this is okay. You like cats, It's okay. There's a love of an animal. His worst habit, he says, I'm an overthinker. My brain goes off sometimes, like the fourth of July.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: So I've said similar things like that. I cannot like my brain is firing.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: That's the word you use.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: Told you before, like hold on because you got a lot coming fast and furious today, try to keep up. So yes, wow, I have absolutely had that issue. Now this is always fun.

00:13:52
Speaker 2: It really is. And three men have held the title twice. Could you have named who they were?
00:13:58
Speaker 1: One of them? You know what? Two of them are kind of obvious. Same.
00:14:01
Speaker 2: I agree, I would obvious even.

Speaker 1: Yes, now, Brad Pitt actually got his within five years. He was named the sexies Man twice within five years. And that's a good run. That is.

00:14:17
Speaker 1: Come on, lazy, Come on.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: There were other men who could have grazed the cover two in a five year period.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that's shocking for me at.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: Least is it only because of recent history. Maybe he was the frickin' man.
00:15:12
Speaker 3: He was never my type, but yeah, I get it. So the other man who was on the cover twice, Johnny Debt.
00:15:20
Speaker 1: He was kind of a Chalomey before Chalomey, kind of a guy that.
00:15:23
Speaker 3: Is exactly what he Yes, he has that vibe of Timothy Shallomey for sure.

Speaker 1: Okay, so we get through all man, this is I didn't expect this episode to be this, so, yes, we're going through a little history here. But the first ever sexiest man alive? Do you think you would have remembered?
00:16:47
Speaker 2: Never in a million years, and people now will go oh, and I wouldn't have guessed it either.
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson nineteen eighty five. First ever sexy is male Life it's so it's just the times that have changed and what his career involved into in the contri verses he went. But yes, John mel Gibson was the.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: Get go so, I mean it makes sense he that he had all of those roles that Mad Max, right, Mad Max. I was also thinking about when he was Scottish, the Scottish We didn't watch the SAP movies Braveheart.
00:17:20
Speaker 2: Yes, oh you did get that one. Yay.
00:17:23
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go through a few things here for you that I didn't put in there on purpose that I want you to react to. Okay, okay, But the stats on it, three sexis Men Alive passed away after receiving the honor. Only three of the forty JFK. Patrick Swayze, and Sean Connery. So all of your previous sexis Men Alive are still alive except for those three.
00:17:49
Speaker 2: I thought that wasn't That's pretty remarkable.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: That's pretty remarkable stat. Only five people on the list are not actors in the history, so it's been overwhelm actors.
00:18:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, so JFK. Junior would be one of.
00:18:03
Speaker 1: Them, Beckham, Blake Shelton, Yeah, John Legend, Adam Levine.
00:18:09
Speaker 2: Oh but I didn't really musicians.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: It's dominated dominated by those guys.
00:18:15
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.
00:18:16
Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen have been a superhero in a film that's funny in the years, Chris Avans, George all these guys that played Batman then Captain America, And that.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: Makes I mean, yes, that's a sexy thing to be a superhero.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: Okay. Fifteen of the guys in history have played on screen doctors.
00:18:36
Speaker 2: So smart and saving the world. That's sexy doing it.
00:18:40
Speaker 1: While they got the award, I didn't, Patrick Dempsey, George Clooney.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: Oh, that makes sense, makes sense, doesn't It's a bunch of them as R and Grays anatomy.
00:18:48
Speaker 1: The youngest you could come up with, if I give you a second, The youngest ever was twenty seven years old.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: Hold on, let me see if I can give you Was it Brad Pitt No, Keanu Reeves No.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: But I have a Keano story as well. It was JFK. Junior.
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Oh.
00:19:03
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have gotten that only twenty seven years old. Wow, that is absolutely incredible. He was so damn young and doing so What was he when he passed forty?
00:19:15
Speaker 1: Wasn't he?
00:19:15
Speaker 2: Was he even forty? Oh?
00:19:17
Speaker 1: Was he I don't. I don't. Maybe somewhere closer to that. He was the youngest, the oldest to ever win was at the age of fifty nine. If I gave you a second, you would come up with this as well. But it was Sean Connery fifty nine years old. That's pretty impressive.
00:19:28
Speaker 2: That is incredible.
00:19:29
Speaker 1: Sean Connery's always looked good.
00:19:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that accent doesn't hurt at all. And by the way, JFK. Junior was thirty eight when he passed thirty eight, he didn't even make.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: It to forty.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: Now. Keanu Reeves is an interesting one. You just mentioned he was sexiest Man Alive in nineteen ninety four, but he got the honor twenty years later because ninety four they happened to just skip forward ever didn't name anybody. So they go back and say, you know what we need to do it do right and do a do good And at that time, Keanu Reeves should have been the guy at time, we should have done the calculations. I don't have the background, but they retroactively named him nineteen ninety fours sexiest Man Lives.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: So lame, but he still got it. Did he get it? Did he get a cover.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, actually not sure.
00:20:14
Speaker 2: Wait, how many years later was it?
00:20:15
Speaker 1: It was the twenty fifteen he got it, But it was nineteen ninety four I believe was the year he was supposed to get it.
00:20:23
Speaker 3: I'm because I just want to Okay, So I wonder if they did actually put together a retroactive People say, yeah, I see one.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: Did someone just make it up? It's hard to know in this world if they just made stuff up.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: But there's some interesting history here. You have any issue. Mark Harmon was the second second sexiest man alive. He's the guy from NCIS, but he was a big time TV star at the time. Back then, Mark Harmon, I never would have come up with him.
00:20:48
Speaker 2: I actually had to.
00:20:49
Speaker 3: When you said that, his face suddenly flashed in front of me. But I had to think about it.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: But all these make sense, right, Tom Cruise makes sense? Yeah? Nick Nolty, what was the movie The Bridges of.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: Bridges of Madison County?
00:21:02
Speaker 3: Yes, but he well, no, that's Robert Redford who he did did a barb movie.
00:21:09
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it.
00:21:10
Speaker 3: Was when he did Loewenstein Lowenstein, the Pat Conroy novel.
00:21:15
Speaker 1: What you can you know the author's name, but that's the title.
00:21:22
Speaker 2: It was Colley because when I get put on the spot, I can't come up with names. Oh my god, what is the name of this movie?
00:21:29
Speaker 3: It was set in Charles in South Carolina. I know all of these the Friends of types. Okay, so that was around that time, so it makes sense for some of these. But Harrison Ford was in there, Pierce Brosnan, Jude Law, Matthew McConaughey.
00:21:41
Speaker 1: That was kind of a duff. Matt Damon's in there, Hugh Jackman's in there, Ryan Reynolds. I was surprised. Maybe he wasn't in there twice. Bradley Cooper, I could have seen him being in there twice, Channing Tatum, these all make sense.
00:21:52
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise could have been in there twice, Let's be honest. I mean, he's had such a long history.
00:21:56
Speaker 1: Blake Shelton's in there, Dwayne Johnson is in there.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: Who else is Michael B. Jordan. Of course, that was a big deal.
00:22:03
Speaker 3: I feel like that made a huge I mean that his cinematic success was there, but that really launched him into a whole other world, I feel like.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: And then you have Paul run and John Krazinsky, which kind of went against the mold. They're kind of comedians, right, they're not just obviously seeing, but that was an idea. I love John Grazinski, obviously Paul Rudd is hilarious, but those were seeing. It's kind of different choices. You're making little.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: Face, Eh, yeah, I mean I think that's good though. It's good that they mix it up, and it is.
00:22:31
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, a lot of women will tell you there's nothing sexier than someone who's funny, than a man who's funny. And you know what, even if you have whatever good looks, they fade your comedy stays.
00:22:42
Speaker 2: So I get that.
00:22:43
Speaker 1: Ah, so they and ten years are gonna be the best looking guys.
00:22:45
Speaker 2: On this exactly. No, But if a guy can make you laugh and make you smile, that is. I don't think there's anything sexier truly.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: The last thing here is just who is this for? And what difference does it make it he's gay or not? And it doesn't make a difference. I shouldn't. I look every year, I look at this and I go, oh, that's a good choice, Like, oh yeah, that's a good looking dude. Oh yeah, that's good looking. Nothing changed this year, right, And women who look at this who have been looking at it every year and have something or somebody to desire. Who's the sexiest man? But if you give a lot of women a choice, who you want to hang out with tonight, this sexy heterosexual man or this sexy gay man with the dog? Who are you gonna take?
00:23:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly seriously.
00:23:34
Speaker 1: I'm asking you. I don't know that, but I'm saying, he is so appealing to everybody. Yeah, it doesn't make a difference, And I don't think it's a big deal. It's history making, yes, but I think it says more that it just doesn't matter.
00:23:49
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:23:50
Speaker 1: I love it.
00:23:51
Speaker 3: I think it's so cool, and you know, I was just thinking, So that's a first, but it's also this is a whole other episode. But I'm curious why people magazine I didn't look into this, But we can maybe do some research. They they have like the fifty most beautiful people, but they don't have sexiest woman alive. Would that be considered sexist? Would that be considered objectifying a woman?
00:24:11
Speaker 2: But it doesn't.
00:24:12
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like we're objectifying a man. And is it okay to say sexy when you're talking about a man? But it's not okay to say that about a woman, of course.
00:24:20
Speaker 1: Not who could I mean what we talked about talking about and focusing on a man's appearance. With every woman who got up and walked out the door this morning, everybody who looked at her is focusing on her appearance. Yeah, right, so not this feels different than odd, But how can we? Is there a list most beautiful Maxim?
00:24:36
Speaker 3: Maxim has like sexiest Woman I think Maxim magazine magazine.
00:24:40
Speaker 1: I mean that was a while, but it was geared towards men, and it was different.
00:24:43
Speaker 2: It was very different. It was actually more about objectifying.
00:24:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember some of those covers in fact. Yeah, but no, I think this is great and I love learning about people. And I'm becoming a fan of somebody, not through necessarily seeing his art, but learning about his story and his history and his craft and his dedication to it. And I this is the this is the most I've been into the sexiest man live in a long time.
00:25:09
Speaker 3: And let's not forget you were nominated for Sexiest Podcaster last year.
00:25:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't reach out this year, a year older, and something is not working. I will give back to my beauty regiment I've fallen off a little bit of past year, but no cool thing. Congrats to mister Jonathan Bailey. Look forward to seeing him New Wickets.
00:25:26
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, we will be watching. You'll be forced to watch that one as well.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: So we want to see him in it now.
00:25:32
Speaker 2: Fantastic.
00:25:33
Speaker 3: That's good news to both me and Sabine. All right, and with that, everyone, thank you for listening to us. I may be roboc alongside my always sexy guy. Sexiest man in this house.
00:25:44
Speaker 1: Uh TJ.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: Holmes.
00:25:46
Speaker 1: We haven't had a male visitor to this house.
00:25:48
Speaker 2: Oh god, you're right, girls, all right. We hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday. Everybody,
Speaker 1: Hey, they're folks. That is Tuesday, November fourth, or weight is over. We got word. We've all been waiting, and now we know who the sexiest man on the planet is for twenty twenty five, and welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Rohobes. I don't know how anybody could take issue with this. Even People Magazine when they named their sexiest man alive they put in parentheses. Yeah, we nailed it.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: That was pretty funny.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: And yes, by the picture he's holding a dog, he just took a dip in a chili sea.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Yes, sexy stuff all around.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: But I have to admit, as much as I am a fan of his work, upon googling him, his name is not a household name.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: I did not know the.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: Name, and some people obviously will know it and love it in certain circles. I did not know it at all. I'll explain how I even found out that the sexiest man was being announced today. It was through a Google trend search this morning. I'll explain that. But his name is a myst Jonathan Bailey, And if you don't know his name, you certainly know his face and you might even know his body at this point. For some of you out there, but he has robes for the past several years, been on a come up, and he is on a hot streak a no pun intended, but a hot streak his career, the likes of which he hasn't experienced. And this just stops it all off.
00:01:26
Speaker 3: It's true when you start reading about his background, this is a true actor. I mean he was trained professionally starting at the age of seven. He's somebody who loves the art and the craft of it, so you can't even tell. It's very sweet seeing him respond and react to this title that it's not that it's embarrassing, but he takes it with a grain of salt and he gets it.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: He gets it.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: But yes, he had fun with it.
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing what he loves. And it's not bad to be admired while you're doing.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: Okay, bridgeton Wicked, Jurassic World Rebirth, H's jars in all of that. So as you know he's been doing it for the past five years, he has just exploded.
00:02:02
Speaker 3: Did you see me this morning when I you mentioned Bridgerton, I'm like, Bridgerton? What is?
00:02:06
Speaker 2: Who is he?
00:02:07
Speaker 3: And Bridgerton? Because I just saw his face and it had been a year or two before or since I had seen it.
00:02:12
Speaker 2: I pulled it off.
00:02:13
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh, it's Lord Anthony On Bridgerton, because when you had said that he is the first openly gay man. When I first woke up we were talking about the stories of the day. I was surprised because I did not think he was gay. When you watch Bridgerton, it's like the steamiest heterosexual almost love making in front of the camera kind of scenes.
00:02:36
Speaker 2: You could imagine. It's one of the reasons why the series is so popular.
00:02:39
Speaker 3: Yes it's well written, yes it's well acted, but they have some really steamy scene.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: So you taken those things have been powerhouses. I mean Jurassic even Jurassic World Rebirth. He looks totally different in that one, but even that movie. I mean, these things we're talking about have been at the height of Hollywood for the past several years, and he is a starring a central role. He's a wildly talented it's not only a good looking dude, but a talented guy. To hear he's been you know, he decided when he was five he wanted to be an actor and started being trained and performing at the age of seven. He has been holding this crab. He's a brit right, He's a theater guy. He's all this. He is just I didn't know about him, but I've been learning about him this morning, and I have become a fan in reading about him. I don't think I have.
00:03:25
Speaker 2: Well.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: I saw Wicked. I was forced to see.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: You were forced to see Wicked with Sabine and me.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: Yes, that's okay. I saw Wicked obviously a great movie. But he was wonderful in that I wasn't familiar to read about his background. I'm room foritous to you. I like to say, you know what.
00:03:38
Speaker 3: I love the story he told about where he was when he got the call from People magazine. He said he was literally playing Richard the Second at London's Bridge Theater when he got the call. He said, you go slightly mad. The only thing matter than doing Richard the Second was to be invited into this.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: I mean he considered it an honor, obviously, but just funny.
00:03:59
Speaker 3: The juxtaposition of where he was and the role he was playing, and then to get that phone call from People magazine.
00:04:05
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, you're the sexiest man alive.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: And the announcement official who's made. They've been doing this for several years of partnership with the Tonight Show. But it's cool how they do the reveal, and he was as charming as ever last night. He called the whole thing completely absurd. But rools, I don't think it's a big part you mentioned. It's kind of just an afterthought. He's the first gay man. I think that's supposed to be a big deal, but I like that it doesn't feel that way. It's just whatever. Okay, I know it's monumental. I'm not taking away from that, but I like that there's no argument. It has nothing to do with whether he's gay or he's straight. It's a good looking, talented dude who is doing gangbusters in Hollywood, and that's what this honor is supposed to be about. It almost feels like it's a non issue. I shouldn't say issue, you know what I'm saying.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: I know, you know what.
00:04:49
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it like that, But that is a really cool point to make that this isn't controversial, that this isn't something that people are questioning because he isn't hetero sexual.
00:05:00
Speaker 2: And honestly, I guess I.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: Had never even thought about the fact that and this may just be because I'm not as in tuned to you know, LGBTQ plus issues, but I hadn't realized there wasn't an openly gay man on the cover. It wouldn't have surprised me to learn that we've been celebrating sexual prowess regardless of what team you play for, how many teams you play for.
00:05:24
Speaker 2: I'm surprised this it's taken this long.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well, when we go through some of the names of the guys, you're like, that's not a gig gal exactly.
00:05:31
Speaker 2: When you start looking at You're like, oh, yeah, I guess, yeah, okay.
00:05:34
Speaker 1: Oh, Denzel Richard gear. But it is a cool but that's a cool on and it was one of the fun things for me at least. But that's how I find out found out. Actually I didn't know the announcement was coming. And you know, every morning I checked Google Trends when I wake up, and one of the trending topics on Google over the past four hours at least that when I checked, is Jonathan Bailey gay.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: Because people weren't believing it, you know what, there were probably Bridgerton fans. I'm telling you you watch him in that role and you're imagining, you know, who is his girlfriend? Who you know? Is he married? Like you wouldn't think, oh, is he gay? So that makes a lot of sense that that was trending.
00:06:18
Speaker 1: Why people asking this about this guy I've never heard of and I clicked. I'm like, oh, this is what happened last night. This is your man. He of course has been holding onto this. They have to keep this such a hush hush hush secret. But the cover, if you haven't seen it yet, he's on the cover with his dog.
00:06:34
Speaker 3: Looks a little bit like Brodie, a younger maybe, well like a better groom, well loved.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: Yes, the dog looks happy, but he's that's his dog, Benson, he said. Benson is the only person he told the secret that he had been named.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: He has three older sisters. It's so surprising to me that he would not have told one of them. But he wouldn't tell us if he told them. I mean, you feel like you could keep that secret with your sisters?
00:07:02
Speaker 1: Could Who would? I? I don't can't imagine.
00:07:04
Speaker 3: Not.
00:07:05
Speaker 1: There's certain people, no matter what happens in your life, certain people you're gonna tell, aren't you?
00:07:09
Speaker 3: I always so the rule has always been, whether it's a rumor or it's something exciting, you always tell one person, and then that person always tells one person means everybody's gonna.
00:07:17
Speaker 2: Know, which means everyone knows.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: But you, I do believe there are people in your life that you could tell that they would and I think everyone needs to have that one person.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe he I don't have that one. Hello, you're staring at her.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: No, you've told some stuff before that you weren't supposed to let go of, and you know that and I found out about it after the fact, and it crushed us and it put us back several months in this relationship.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I don't even know you want me to.
00:07:43
Speaker 1: I could start naming some stuff, but this is about Jonathan Bailey right now. So let's stay on the sexy path that we're on now. From this article, we did learn some things about Jonathan Bailey. I want you to fill in these blanks as well. You saw the part where they just had him fill in the blank. Yes, I thought that was cute, But I have an irrational fear of blank. Is the example I'm using. His answer was, I have an irrational fear of snakes. That makes sense. What's yours sharks? Okay, what's yours? Irrational fear snakes?
00:08:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought. I you told me that. By the way, if you see a snake, I am not going to be your guy. I am not going to be your hero.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: I'll deal with a rat, a roach, or whatever else. But if it's a snake, You're gonna have to deal sister.
00:08:22
Speaker 2: That's funny.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: Another film in the blank form was at a party I can't wait to blank? His answer was leave.
00:08:30
Speaker 3: And your answer is leave, so right now the two of you are basically mine would be dance.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: I can't wait to dance? You mean jump? Stop? Okay, all right? Next line for filling the blank for him, every guy should blink. His answer was have a gay friend.
00:08:46
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: What is yours?
00:08:48
Speaker 2: Every guy should m Every guy should know how to cook.
00:08:58
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm the sky.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: I know I'm just basing it off of what I have in my sexy sexy fiance. What what do you think every guy should.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: To stick with his theme, I'll say every guy should have a black friend. It will it will help you out of a lot of badsy, you know.
00:09:14
Speaker 2: What that is a really really good point. I love that.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: Fill in the blank for him. People are always surprised when I blank. His answer was do a backflip really badly. I don't know where that comes from.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: At least he tries and hasn't broken his head so far. People always surprised when you what, am quiet and listen?
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Uh surprised? No, we are shocked, we are floored. We think the earth is wow.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: I had a little self deprecating humor there, and you took it, and you like, just what with it?
00:09:46
Speaker 1: Because you gave permission to dog you in such a way because you started with it.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: Also the last and no, people are always surprised when I You feel.
00:09:53
Speaker 1: When I when I when I tell them I'm from Arkansas, people think I'm a city.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: But for some reason, Yeah, you have that that metrosexual vibe.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: Okay, oh god, my game plan this has turned into a different thing. It's supposed to be about down now. My game plan for getting older is blank. His answer was to embrace it all. Yeah, it yours.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: My game plan for getting older is to act as young as I possibly can.
00:10:21
Speaker 1: My plan for getting older is enjoying every last minute. Man, I even get pissed to myself these days when I'm down, I'm like, dude, you don't have time for this. Yep, life is short.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: It's so true. I said that's I said that same thing to myself the other day. I agree, there it is.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: This was kind of a cool answer. He was asked what a perfect date night would entail, and it included legoses.
00:10:46
Speaker 3: I know this was funny, he said, it totally depends. I love a walk, I do love dinner, theater, films. It depends what number date. You know, it's like date one hundred legos, although we Brits say it singular lego. I didn't realize that and pizza. Some of my best date nights had been lego dates.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool. What's you did it either? What's your perfect date night?
00:11:09
Speaker 1: Uh? This great little restaurant I found recently in Tribeca that has this great spatch cock chicken that you can share with a date. And this particular Bardender makes the best, the best in Tribeca. I would argue, Skinny Margarita's, that would be a great date if it's raining. I used to want to be in a movie if it's raining. But no, no, no, no, no, I want to be home to take it in the beautiful view and see it all. That's a perfect date night to me.
00:11:41
Speaker 2: Well, I think you just nailed my perfect date nights too, because I actually was.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: On that date with you, so it was pretty awesome. I would say maybe just like start start with a horror movie and then end with that dinner that you just described.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because we could do horror movies morning, noon, night exactly. Doesn't have to end the night with that. This was a cool answer as well. Trait's most important to him in a relationship.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: I love this and he nailed it.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: Communication and being clear transparency is absolutely utmost, utmost utmost and really supporting, really cheerleading and watching someone thrive should be a real turn on.
00:12:13
Speaker 2: I agree his.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Answer here about your worst habit and this guy.
00:12:18
Speaker 3: You guys are the same person. This is your worst habit for sure. He likes dogs, though this is okay. You like cats, It's okay. There's a love of an animal. His worst habit, he says, I'm an overthinker. My brain goes off sometimes, like the fourth of July.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: So I've said similar things like that. I cannot like my brain is firing.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: That's the word you use.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: Told you before, like hold on because you got a lot coming fast and furious today, try to keep up. So yes, wow, I have absolutely had that issue. Now this is always fun. The sexiest Man Alive. This thing has been around for now forty years, but only thirty six men have actually gotten the title. And do you know who was the first to ever be named the sexiest man Alive? It's going to surprise you. Stay here, We're gonna go a little through the history of People magazine Sexiest Men Alive.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we teased before the break that the history of this list is actually quite fascinating.
00:13:52
Speaker 2: It really is. And three men have held the title twice. Could you have named who they were?
00:13:58
Speaker 1: One of them? You know what? Two of them are kind of obvious. Same.
00:14:01
Speaker 2: I agree, I would obvious even.
00:14:03
Speaker 1: If you had no clue, you would come up with these names.
00:14:05
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt, George Clooney.
00:14:08
Speaker 1: Yes, now, Brad Pitt actually got his within five years. He was named the sexies Man twice within five years. And that's a good run. That is.
00:14:16
Speaker 2: It also feels a little lazy.
00:14:17
Speaker 1: Come on, lazy, Come on.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: There were other men who could have grazed the cover two in a five year period.
00:14:22

00:14:50
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Brad Pitt on a horse with his hair flowing. He was was one of his earlier, earlier roles really cute.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: So you were trying to argue with me about them being lady doing it twice and then you're like, oh my god, wrap it on the horse and the hair on never mind.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that's shocking for me at.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: Least is it only because of recent history. Maybe he was the frickin' man.
00:15:12
Speaker 3: He was never my type, but yeah, I get it. So the other man who was on the cover twice, Johnny Debt.
00:15:20
Speaker 1: He was kind of a Chalomey before Chalomey, kind of a guy that.
00:15:23
Speaker 3: Is exactly what he Yes, he has that vibe of Timothy Shallomey for sure.
00:15:28
Speaker 1: The other guy who actually got the honor twice kind of sort of was Richard Gear. They took a break one year from having a Sexiest Man and they had Sexiest couple and he was with Cindy Crawford. They were married. I didn't know this.
00:15:42
Speaker 3: They were I can think of as Randy Garber, So who was Randy Garver her current husband?
00:15:48
Speaker 2: Who Randy Gerver?
00:15:49
Speaker 3: Cindy Crawford, Oh, what's happening? Richard Richard Gear? Though I guess I do remember, but I definitely forgot. They were mad I don't know if they were married. They were married, they were married for how long?
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Four years?
00:16:06
Speaker 2: I'm learning how long has she been married to Randy Gerber?
00:16:09
Speaker 1: Though I don't even know how to spell Randy Gerber. I didn't know who he was. I'm sorry, wait, I don't know who he is.
00:16:15
Speaker 2: He has you know what you know where you know him from?
00:16:17
Speaker 3: He is on all of the Cosamigos trucks with right next to uh Georgia.
00:16:23
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly who is.
00:16:26
Speaker 2: Said that he's on the motorcycle. He's like, you're a kind of guy.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: I know exactly who he is. He does a partnership with the Boot Company. I like Thursday Boot Company. I have his boots. Yes, I know.
00:16:35
Speaker 2: Exactly who is That is Cindy Crawford's husband.
00:16:37
Speaker 1: Okay, so we get through all man, this is I didn't expect this episode to be this, so, yes, we're going through a little history here. But the first ever sexiest man alive? Do you think you would have remembered?
00:16:47
Speaker 2: Never in a million years, and people now will go oh, and I wouldn't have guessed it either.
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson nineteen eighty five. First ever sexy is male Life it's so it's just the times that have changed and what his career involved into in the contri verses he went. But yes, John mel Gibson was the.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: Get go so, I mean it makes sense he that he had all of those roles that Mad Max, right, Mad Max. I was also thinking about when he was Scottish, the Scottish We didn't watch the SAP movies Braveheart.
00:17:20
Speaker 2: Yes, oh you did get that one. Yay.
00:17:23
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go through a few things here for you that I didn't put in there on purpose that I want you to react to. Okay, okay, But the stats on it, three sexis Men Alive passed away after receiving the honor. Only three of the forty JFK. Patrick Swayze, and Sean Connery. So all of your previous sexis Men Alive are still alive except for those three.
00:17:49
Speaker 2: I thought that wasn't That's pretty remarkable.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: That's pretty remarkable stat. Only five people on the list are not actors in the history, so it's been overwhelm actors.
00:18:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, so JFK. Junior would be one of.
00:18:03
Speaker 1: Them, Beckham, Blake Shelton, Yeah, John Legend, Adam Levine.
00:18:09
Speaker 2: Oh but I didn't really musicians.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: It's dominated dominated by those guys.
00:18:15
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.
00:18:16
Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen have been a superhero in a film that's funny in the years, Chris Avans, George all these guys that played Batman then Captain America, And that.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: Makes I mean, yes, that's a sexy thing to be a superhero.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: Okay. Fifteen of the guys in history have played on screen doctors.
00:18:36
Speaker 2: So smart and saving the world. That's sexy doing it.
00:18:40
Speaker 1: While they got the award, I didn't, Patrick Dempsey, George Clooney.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: Oh, that makes sense, makes sense, doesn't It's a bunch of them as R and Grays anatomy.
00:18:48
Speaker 1: The youngest you could come up with, if I give you a second, The youngest ever was twenty seven years old.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: Hold on, let me see if I can give you Was it Brad Pitt No, Keanu Reeves No.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: But I have a Keano story as well. It was JFK. Junior.
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Oh.
00:19:03
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have gotten that only twenty seven years old. Wow, that is absolutely incredible. He was so damn young and doing so What was he when he passed forty?
00:19:15
Speaker 1: Wasn't he?
00:19:15
Speaker 2: Was he even forty? Oh?
00:19:17
Speaker 1: Was he I don't. I don't. Maybe somewhere closer to that. He was the youngest, the oldest to ever win was at the age of fifty nine. If I gave you a second, you would come up with this as well. But it was Sean Connery fifty nine years old. That's pretty impressive.
00:19:28
Speaker 2: That is incredible.
00:19:29
Speaker 1: Sean Connery's always looked good.
00:19:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that accent doesn't hurt at all. And by the way, JFK. Junior was thirty eight when he passed thirty eight, he didn't even make.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: It to forty.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: Now. Keanu Reeves is an interesting one. You just mentioned he was sexiest Man Alive in nineteen ninety four, but he got the honor twenty years later because ninety four they happened to just skip forward ever didn't name anybody. So they go back and say, you know what we need to do it do right and do a do good And at that time, Keanu Reeves should have been the guy at time, we should have done the calculations. I don't have the background, but they retroactively named him nineteen ninety fours sexiest Man Lives.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: So lame, but he still got it. Did he get it? Did he get a cover.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, actually not sure.
00:20:14
Speaker 2: Wait, how many years later was it?
00:20:15
Speaker 1: It was the twenty fifteen he got it, But it was nineteen ninety four I believe was the year he was supposed to get it.
00:20:23
Speaker 3: I'm because I just want to Okay, So I wonder if they did actually put together a retroactive People say, yeah, I see one.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: Did someone just make it up? It's hard to know in this world if they just made stuff up.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: But there's some interesting history here. You have any issue. Mark Harmon was the second second sexiest man alive. He's the guy from NCIS, but he was a big time TV star at the time. Back then, Mark Harmon, I never would have come up with him.
00:20:48
Speaker 2: I actually had to.
00:20:49
Speaker 3: When you said that, his face suddenly flashed in front of me. But I had to think about it.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: But all these make sense, right, Tom Cruise makes sense? Yeah? Nick Nolty, what was the movie The Bridges of.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: Bridges of Madison County?
00:21:02
Speaker 3: Yes, but he well, no, that's Robert Redford who he did did a barb movie.
00:21:09
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it.
00:21:10
Speaker 3: Was when he did Loewenstein Lowenstein, the Pat Conroy novel.
00:21:15
Speaker 1: What you can you know the author's name, but that's the title.
00:21:22
Speaker 2: It was Colley because when I get put on the spot, I can't come up with names. Oh my god, what is the name of this movie?
00:21:29
Speaker 3: It was set in Charles in South Carolina. I know all of these the Friends of types. Okay, so that was around that time, so it makes sense for some of these. But Harrison Ford was in there, Pierce Brosnan, Jude Law, Matthew McConaughey.
00:21:41
Speaker 1: That was kind of a duff. Matt Damon's in there, Hugh Jackman's in there, Ryan Reynolds. I was surprised. Maybe he wasn't in there twice. Bradley Cooper, I could have seen him being in there twice, Channing Tatum, these all make sense.
00:21:52
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise could have been in there twice, Let's be honest. I mean, he's had such a long history.
00:21:56
Speaker 1: Blake Shelton's in there, Dwayne Johnson is in there.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: Who else is Michael B. Jordan. Of course, that was a big deal.
00:22:03
Speaker 3: I feel like that made a huge I mean that his cinematic success was there, but that really launched him into a whole other world, I feel like.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: And then you have Paul run and John Krazinsky, which kind of went against the mold. They're kind of comedians, right, they're not just obviously seeing, but that was an idea. I love John Grazinski, obviously Paul Rudd is hilarious, but those were seeing. It's kind of different choices. You're making little.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: Face, Eh, yeah, I mean I think that's good though. It's good that they mix it up, and it is.
00:22:31
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, a lot of women will tell you there's nothing sexier than someone who's funny, than a man who's funny. And you know what, even if you have whatever good looks, they fade your comedy stays.
00:22:42
Speaker 2: So I get that.
00:22:43
Speaker 1: Ah, so they and ten years are gonna be the best looking guys.
00:22:45
Speaker 2: On this exactly. No, But if a guy can make you laugh and make you smile, that is. I don't think there's anything sexier truly.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: The last thing here is just who is this for? And what difference does it make it he's gay or not? And it doesn't make a difference. I shouldn't. I look every year, I look at this and I go, oh, that's a good choice, Like, oh yeah, that's a good looking dude. Oh yeah, that's good looking. Nothing changed this year, right, And women who look at this who have been looking at it every year and have something or somebody to desire. Who's the sexiest man? But if you give a lot of women a choice, who you want to hang out with tonight, this sexy heterosexual man or this sexy gay man with the dog? Who are you gonna take?
00:23:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly seriously.
00:23:34
Speaker 1: I'm asking you. I don't know that, but I'm saying, he is so appealing to everybody. Yeah, it doesn't make a difference, And I don't think it's a big deal. It's history making, yes, but I think it says more that it just doesn't matter.
00:23:49
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:23:50
Speaker 1: I love it.
00:23:51
Speaker 3: I think it's so cool, and you know, I was just thinking, So that's a first, but it's also this is a whole other episode. But I'm curious why people magazine I didn't look into this, But we can maybe do some research. They they have like the fifty most beautiful people, but they don't have sexiest woman alive. Would that be considered sexist? Would that be considered objectifying a woman?
00:24:11
Speaker 2: But it doesn't.
00:24:12
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like we're objectifying a man. And is it okay to say sexy when you're talking about a man? But it's not okay to say that about a woman, of course.
00:24:20
Speaker 1: Not who could I mean what we talked about talking about and focusing on a man's appearance. With every woman who got up and walked out the door this morning, everybody who looked at her is focusing on her appearance. Yeah, right, so not this feels different than odd, But how can we? Is there a list most beautiful Maxim?
00:24:36
Speaker 3: Maxim has like sexiest Woman I think Maxim magazine magazine.
00:24:40
Speaker 1: I mean that was a while, but it was geared towards men, and it was different.
00:24:43
Speaker 2: It was very different. It was actually more about objectifying.
00:24:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember some of those covers in fact. Yeah, but no, I think this is great and I love learning about people. And I'm becoming a fan of somebody, not through necessarily seeing his art, but learning about his story and his history and his craft and his dedication to it. And I this is the this is the most I've been into the sexiest man live in a long time.
00:25:09
Speaker 3: And let's not forget you were nominated for Sexiest Podcaster last year.
00:25:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't reach out this year, a year older, and something is not working. I will give back to my beauty regiment I've fallen off a little bit of past year, but no cool thing. Congrats to mister Jonathan Bailey. Look forward to seeing him New Wickets.
00:25:26
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, we will be watching. You'll be forced to watch that one as well.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: So we want to see him in it now.
00:25:32
