- So gentlemen, here's the question,
are you okay with your female partner
being the bread winner in the family?
- Absolutely, I can't make...
- Make that money - Yeah get that money.
- Make that money.
- Hit the streets running.
(cheers and applause)
What?
Come on, now.
We deserve this, Steve.
- Yeah.
- Been in these streets a long time.
Chasing this paper, I encourage my wife right now,
she has a beauty business, I say "You go get it."
- There you go.
- What do you need?
You go get it.
- Wait, I don't understand,
why would the women feel uncomfortable?
- Well, they feel uncomfortable
because the men feel uncomfortable.
- Yeah, doesn't want to put a man down.
- She wants to uplift her man,
I'm saying, like, you know, I'm also trying
to look at it like I'm making an investment.
We're all saying that and if Peta comes back
with that bread, I'm gonna be there to cut it
and make a toast out of it and serve it.
I'm good.
(applause)
(laughs)
- See, I'm the old school version of it.
I would really be uncomfortable with that.
- Yeah?
- You know, for me, it was the like the upbringing was,
it's your job, your job is to take care of a family.
Period, that's your job.
I didn't know no other way, so I would be uncomfortable.
Now, my wife too is getting into a line of business.
I'm totally supportive of her.
If she can make more money than me?
Oh man, that'll be cool as hell.
Cause we can take that money and I can retire.
(laughs)
- Absolutely
(applause)
- I feel the rhetoric where the men has to
came with the rhetoric where the woman is obligated
to stay at home and give birth and cook and clean.
I think that rhetoric is out, why do we still keep this one?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you know, so I think we just clean slate.
You make money, I'm gonna support it.
I make money, you gotta support me.
(applause)
- I also think we understand now that,
we understand more about the household
and what kind of job that is.
Like, that's a real, when I stay home
with the kids for 24 hours, that's a real job.
(applause)
- [Steve] No, yeah.
- You know what I mean, like that's...
- [Steve] No, that's crazy.
- I need help.
- [Dan] Exactly
- How would you feel about being a stay at home dad,
taking care of the house and she was out making money.
- You know what, I was raised the same way you were.
My father was an Italian immigrant,
his dad did for his family,
my dad did for my family.
I was divorced a few years ago
and I made a conscious decision after my divorce,
I have two children that we share custody of,
that I didn't even look for work,
I wanted at least a two to three year window
where I said I wanted to stay home and spend time with them.
Having done that, I have no problem with it.
Cause like Tank just said, that is a job.
That is not a nine to five, that is 24/7.
It's a job.
(applause)
- [Steve] That's true
- And it has to be, a lot of times people see it as men
not having ambition, you know what I mean?
There's a space within that where you can decide
I want to be the best homemaker that I can be as a man.
I'm ambitious about that, I'm gonna cook, okay?
I'm gonna clean, I'm gonna run some bath water.
(applause)
- [Tank] Come on in here and get off your feet.
- Steve, not feeling it Steve?
- You've been out a long day, let me rub your feet,
take them shoes, come on now, come on now.
(applause)
When my woman get home from work I'm laying
in the bed like this, you been waiting on me?
You been at work all day, come on in here.
(applause)
(laughs)
Come on in here.
- Hey, we're gonna take a break.
When we come back, we gonna be tackling the bro code.
Is it ever okay to break the code?
We're gonna hear what the panel got to say about that.
Keep it right there.
