Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow, I liked this. The
Speaker 1: audience so nice and lively. I know, isn't it a
Speaker 1: wonderful beautiful audience audience? Now, am I just sitting really
Speaker 1: tall and you're sitting short us? I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you feel like you're a little taller than me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay. Are you? Are you? You want to go
Speaker 1: down now? It's okay, it's fine. You want to go downtown.
Speaker 1: It just you know, it's like, well, whatever, it's fine,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I don't mind that you're overpowering me.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I need to be cut down to size right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. Thank you for being here today. I'm so
Speaker 1: excited to talk to you because I always love talking
Speaker 1: to you because you're real and you're not full of
Speaker 1: shit like all these other models. Well, thank you. I'd
Speaker 1: like to keep you honest, keep it real. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the other models are lying about, but I
Speaker 1: do know what I'm telling the truth about, and it's me.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that everybody needs to just
Speaker 1: have a little honest, honest truth on Instagram and social media. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I absolutely I've feel the same way because I
Speaker 1: find it very frustrating, especially when we think about young
Speaker 1: girls coming up and growing up and watching everybody on
Speaker 1: social media now that everybody's dirty laundry is there to see.
Speaker 1: It's it's such a crappy example to like let them
Speaker 1: believe that everybody looks perfect all the time, where people
Speaker 1: are walking around in those tortilla chip bikinis, you know,
Speaker 1: without getting some major things done to their bodies to
Speaker 1: afford that to happen, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: you're all about body positivity, yeah, I mean I like
Speaker 1: to represent myself as someone who's just happy with who
Speaker 1: I am. And I've had a journey, like it is
Speaker 1: a journey. Body confidence, being okay with who you are
Speaker 1: is a journey, and there's been waves of it that
Speaker 1: I've had, you know, mental issues with my body or
Speaker 1: just physical issues with my body, and but you go
Speaker 1: through it. And I think that that's the whole thing
Speaker 1: is like talk about it, and I don't ever want
Speaker 1: to lie because I think about myself, right, I think
Speaker 1: we think about when we were younger, what were the
Speaker 1: celebrities and influencers and those people that we were looking
Speaker 1: up to, And there wasn't enough being talked about then.
Speaker 1: But now we have the platform and we have the
Speaker 1: we have the space to be able to talk about it,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to deal with it. But it
Speaker 1: just is such a problem. Well, there was no phrase.
Speaker 1: First of all, there weren't influencers when we were growing up.
Speaker 1: Nobody was in that. Yeah, and that was a more
Speaker 1: pleasant time, I would argue, But I love it, But
Speaker 1: I I know before social medium was a lot easier,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. It was a lot easier. But I mean
Speaker 1: there's a term and the and the term body positivity
Speaker 1: wasn't even around when we were growing up. Now, so
Speaker 1: now there's body positivity, which means you know, you're very
Speaker 1: happy or you embrace all of your your your short
Speaker 1: I feel positive about where I am in life and
Speaker 1: it has gone up and down. Then there's body neutrality,
Speaker 1: which is what their body neutrality is, like I'm just
Speaker 1: happy to be in my body like period, like I
Speaker 1: wake up. On my podcast, pretty pretty big deal. I
Speaker 1: interviewed Demilovado and she said, I can't lie to myself,
Speaker 1: like I just want to wake up and know that
Speaker 1: my body's surviving and working. I'm not gonna lie and
Speaker 1: say like thick thighs, I love you, and that also
Speaker 1: is very honest. And I think that that's the most
Speaker 1: important thing is that you're being honest to yourself. You're
Speaker 1: being honest to the people that you're speaking to. So
Speaker 1: you're not giving this idea of perfection because I mean
Speaker 1: the whole like altering your body through just one click
Speaker 1: or one pinch, that's a lie. That's a lie to
Speaker 1: everybody that's following you. It's not nice. Yeah, no it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not nice. But body neutrality, I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: even there yet. Like I don't wake up and go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, my body's a vessel, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. There are layers to it, even for a
Speaker 1: grown woman like myself. I mean, I can't believe I
Speaker 1: just referred myself as a grown woman, but I guess
Speaker 1: that's what I am. That's how we say hello. We
Speaker 1: always we didn't always go in for the tinnies and
Speaker 1: we were just like, ah, we're both well known for
Speaker 1: our boots for separate reasons. You're feeding your family and
Speaker 1: I'm just entertaining peoples, and we are so here for
Speaker 1: MOREY get more. You have you have a set of
Speaker 1: twis and you have another son, so you have three children,
Speaker 1: and that happened quick. That was a little bit like
Speaker 1: a blitz creeg for me. Yeah, it was overnight. My
Speaker 1: whole life changed. And yes, it felt like I was
Speaker 1: just like feeding a nation, but on Instagram because she's
Speaker 1: very you know, you're normalizing breastfeeding for a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are not comfortable with it. You have your
Speaker 1: boobs out, you're constantly pumping feeding these kids or not
Speaker 1: pumping feeding them. You know, it's all of the above.
Speaker 1: There's not one thing that I wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: be left in the dark, especially with like how your
Speaker 1: body is changing when you're pregnant and stretch marks and
Speaker 1: then snaggy skin and formula breastfeeding because there's also this
Speaker 1: whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child.
Speaker 1: So it's my first kid, I was like, I could
Speaker 1: only breastfeed. This is the right way. And then I
Speaker 1: had the twins and I was like, I'm not doing this,
Speaker 1: this is this is not working here, like both of
Speaker 1: you want both of these Like I'm there's a lot
Speaker 1: of work. So I saw breastfeeding when they were five months,
Speaker 1: and I gave them the best formula that I could
Speaker 1: find in America, Bobby, and these little guys are so
Speaker 1: strong and so happy. So I don't think we should
Speaker 1: be telling people how they should be feeding their kids. Right.
Speaker 1: But my hair fell out, like it was. This has
Speaker 1: been a journey Like now, I think I've got like
Speaker 1: little bangs that like they come like that. What is that?
Speaker 1: So your hair falls out when you have a baby, Yes,
Speaker 1: because you get all of these amazing It's like your
Speaker 1: body just fills up with nutrition and then the baby
Speaker 1: sucks it out of you. Yeah, and then the baby
Speaker 1: comes out and then all of a sudden, you're just
Speaker 1: fully depleted of everything. So your hair falls out. Not everybody,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just my experience, but I know
Speaker 1: a lot of mothers out there the same thing happened. Acne.
Speaker 1: I mean, the weight doesn't come off. It's just like
Speaker 1: your boobs go down to here when you're done. I
Speaker 1: have two braws on currently, fun and I go. Fashion
Speaker 1: Week starts this week, which so are you walking any shows?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna sit, I'm gonna join the parties.
Speaker 1: I already did a few things. You're a love fashion
Speaker 1: Week or you know it's like a love hate right
Speaker 1: because fashion is so much fun, Like I'm wearing Balmon
Speaker 1: dress tonight right now, and it's like, thank you Olivier
Speaker 1: for making my size. And then you find a designer
Speaker 1: that you're obsessed with and they don't make your size,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what am I supposed to do? And
Speaker 1: it's just this performative act of putting one curve girl
Speaker 1: on the runway or one curve girl into a campaign,
Speaker 1: and then you can't find the clothes when you go
Speaker 1: to the store. So there still is this this long
Speaker 1: journey I think ahead of us with designers because for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, there's this like this cycle of issues when
Speaker 1: it comes to making sizes that can fit the US majority,
Speaker 1: which is a size fourteen sixteen. That's the that's the
Speaker 1: majority of US women, that's the size we are. So
Speaker 1: why are you missing out on this like billion dollar business?
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to address us? I don't understand that. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm here to support, like I love fashion, but
Speaker 1: the biggest problem is is that there just isn't enough
Speaker 1: designers making close our size. Well, you've done amazing things
Speaker 1: for a lot of models, so I appreciate everything you're
Speaker 1: doing on behalf of all women thank you. Yeah. Absolutely.
