The Bert Show.

And I'm looking for a little honesty here because if you've put on some weight and you've decided to take off weight, at one point you might have had an embarrassing weight loss wake up call.

Like, I don't know what that could be.

Like you've put on so much weight that at one point you were at dinner at a restaurant and maybe the chair busted or you ripped a pair

of jeans while you were out with family and friends saw about it and that was your wake-up call

you're like no more that's a special person right there who can rip denim with their ass you're

sitting down it can happen you do it in front of your kids they'll never let you you forget that. Right. And sometimes a stranger's kid, not necessarily your own kids, but a stranger's kid could say something to you in public or say something about you in public that you hear. Like I had somebody email me a couple of weeks ago about she knew that she had to get on healthy trim because her baby who was like four or five years old was making fun of her back fat in front of other people. And she's like, that's it. Today is the day I'm going on my diet. And that's really what we're talking about right now with Kevin Smith because he had an embarrassing weight loss wake-up call. He is not embarrassed at all because guess what? There are two ways he could have handled this. He could have shut the hell up and it would have been what it was and nobody would have known i think in some

cases you don't know how big you're getting though until something like this happens and i also think

twitter i think this is a case for twitter's responsible for this going on and on and on it could because

it's on a couple of days now probably too long 404 741 q100-Q-100 because the story just keeps going on. This is Hollywood director. His name is Kevin Smith. You know him as Silent Bob in the Jay and Silent Bob movies. And then also he did Clerks and Chasing Amy, so he's the director behind it. But he was on a Southwest Airlines flight, and the flight attendant told him that he was going to have to get off the plane.

He was removed from the flight because what the airline is claiming is that he didn't pass that armrest test.

You have to be able to comfortably put down both armrests in an airline seat so that you're not bothering the other passengers that are seated next to you.

You're not sort of spilling over into their seat

in order to stay on the flight. And he's even said that in the past a couple of weeks, he bought two

seats for the flight so that he was more comfortable. He wasn't able to do that on that flight. So he was

removed from it. Now, the airline has apologized for the way that it was handled. I guess maybe they thought they could have used different words or different language

or treated him a little better in the process of removing him from the flight,

but that still is their policy that they have the armrest test.

And now Kevin Smith has been doing podcasts and yelling and screaming and going on Twitter about it,

and this and that and the other thing,

making a really big stink about how Southwest Airlines should have bigger seats because America is fatter these days and how, you know, how he didn't kill anybody, he just eats a lot, like he's a comfort eater. And so, I mean, he's going on and on and on, but all of the headlines have been either like too fat to fly or fat gait or whatever it is.

But he's sort of perpetuating what's going on.
