Welcome to Monday show.

Morning.

It's a story out today about the pressures of, and they say being a man, do you feel

pressures of being a man? Yes. Which is, uh, financially responsible for, exactly what

this is. Yeah, my family. So does that mean women can, I feel pressure as a woman? Yeah. Because they're can be a man?

Yeah.

Because they're saying be a man.

Well, I feel pressure.

But you're a single.

You're single.

I'm a single person.

Yes.

If you're having money shortcomings and you feel like you're letting your family down,

you are not alone.

Over half of men admit their current finances that made them feel like they're falling short of, quote, being a man. Oh, dang. That's tough, man. I mean, I've never felt like I'm less of a man, the less money I make. But it's definitely pressure to be like, I have to keep this job to, you know, support my family. They start to have feelings when they can't purchase something that the kids want or a luxury item on TV or something that their dad was able to get them that they can't get their kids, that they are less of a man. That's from beyond finance. Go ahead. I hate it. I mean, it's true. But I hate that people have to feel that way. But I mean, I've definitely felt it. You know, when I got laid off, I don't know, 20 years ago from a TV job, like, it was very stressful. Luckily, I got a job immediately. But those two days when I didn't know what I was going to do, like was very stressful. Well, that would be for anybody. You didn't have a family then? I did. Yeah, I was married. 20, you have a 20 year old? Well, I guess I got you with the back. You're right, you're right. I guess it wasn't 20 years ago. He was just estimating and you hit him with the bag. Well, because I was trying to say, like, if anybody, like... He's 18, though. So it must have been like 17 years ago. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Poor guy's rounding over here. Sorry. You know I have math problems. I'm asking for clarity because I feel like anybody that loses their job is going to feel stress, man or woman. But if my wife lost her job, it would be like, all right, it's all good. I got you. Like, I have my job. Yeah. No, I get that. Lunchbox, any thoughts? And it is tough being a man because everybody looks at you and like what clothes your kids are wearing. They're like, ah, his job must not be very good because look at the clothes his kids are wearing. What kind of car you drive? People are like, ah, man, he's not making it. Doesn't have a Ferrari or a Lambo or a Corvette. Everything you do, wherever you go, if you're sitting at a ballgame, if you're sitting up in the nosebleeds, people are looking at you going, man, that dude's not providing for his family.
