Stephen A. Smith and Bill Maher recently sat down for a conversation for Maher’s “Club Random” podcast where the two broadcasters had a wide-ranging discussion that included their opinions about bigger women. 

Maher broached the discussion while talking about his childhood friend's infatuation with plus-sized women. 

“That’s right. But I tell you this, I tell you this true. I learned that beauty was in the eye of the beholder when I was growing up and one of my best friend’s name was [Pooley]. His name was Rodney [Cowan] but his nickname was Pooley. Everybody in the neighborhood knew him as Pooley. You could put Beyonce right in front of Pooley and Pooley would look at you and go like this, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? Because if you were not 250 pounds minimum with blubber hanging off your arms, and cellulite everywhere, and you weren’t big enough to tilt a small car, Pooley was not interested in you. You were entirely too small.”

Maher, clearly not a fan of this added: 

“What is that? What the f–k is that, with the love, I mean all of America now loves
bigness,” he said. “It’s not my thing. I’m not hating on it, to each his own … I’m hating on it because I feel first of all it’s not healthy. And second of all, it’s tilting everyone toward this you know, girls think you know, it’s better to have a giant ass and I’m not into a giant ass.”

Stephen A. rebutted, “Well, I’m not going to deny I do like a big booty, I’m not going to lie about that,” Smith said. “It’s almost mandatory for me personally.”

“And this was always something in the black community am I right?” Maher asked.

“For the most part, yeah,” Stephen A. replied. “And then like everything else, the white people in the suburbs stole it because now I mean every girl wants a big booty,” Maher said, as Smith interjected, on the topic of big butts: “It is vastly appreciated by black men. Every black man I know, pretty much every black man I know, that’s what we like.”

But Smith added some perspective to the conversation when he said: 

“What happened is, I think that, listen women are competitive just like everybody else. And you’ve seen what I’ve seen over the years and what a lot of the white women that I have encountered, they’ve seen black girls, sisters, with voluptuous figures and they said, excuse me, yeah I want that because I want to compete with them. And they have no regard, no fear whatsoever competing with the sisters, for black men. I’ve seen it before. Not with everybody of course, but I’ve seen it.”
