<v Speaker 4>Like? I?

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's been it's been a it's been a busy

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 3>week and it's been one of those weeks where you're like,

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't like I did things, but I feel like

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 3>seventy percent of what took up my time was driving

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 3>to the things. Oh yeah, you know, yeah, especially it

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 3>was like I had to go the West Side over

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 3>to the valley, to Pasadena.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>To yeah, so yeah.

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 3>But I did get to volunteer some more this week

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>with the Baby List and nice helping support some of

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 3>the LA fire victims, which was really great, great, a

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>huge line, lots of people, got all kinds of stuff

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 3>that they really needed.

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>So it was it was, uh, it was a really

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>great day. Two days. Actually it was great two days.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>But my back is definitely thinking otherwise because I you

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 3>know me, I'm like I jump in and I'm like,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>you know what I should do? I should organize unloading

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 3>the trucks. So I was wondering slipping things.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>On giant dollies from one floor to another. You have

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>a muscle, baby.

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Let you go and you lift everything.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>But well it was like me and then like you know,

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of like heavy guys and I'm like, I

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>got it? What am I? Why?

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Why do I need to do that? But it was

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>very glad. I just like I like.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Jumping in and helping and like whatever. The thing that

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>looks the most sort of arduous and difficult, I'm like

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I'll help tackle that.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Good for you. That's a good quality. Yeah, that's a

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>good I mean your back. They might not think so,

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>but I think yeah. Back.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 3>I definitely was like, oh, high forty three, how's it going,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 3>I'll go.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Lower back.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, just tired a lot of stuff. I went

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 3>worked out hard today every day.

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>This one good for you. Pus the days that I've

0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I know, back hurts.

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens you work out every day.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I know I've been working out every day. I don't know.

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I'll take the streak where I can get it,

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 3>because then it'll be I'll just be like, ah, okay.

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Well And as we're recording this, it's January thirtieth. Why

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>is January so long? Like I feel like it's the

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy fifth day of January.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and it does. It feels like, how are we

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 3>still in January? But I feel like once February starts,

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be November real quick, you know what.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, It does go quick, especially once you go quick.

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>But in the holidays, you know, Mother's.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Day and Father's Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, I

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>can't even I can't even.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure target is already selling like Fourth of July decoration,

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh for sure.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've stocked up on my Halloween.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm putting it up right afterbr right after Valentine's Day.

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know that's probably appropriate.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Forgive us the start on things, you know what I mean?

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Just really yeah, back to school Halloween style, you know,

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 2>so I'm here for it.

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Wear a costume on the first day of school. I

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>think there's a niche, you know.

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I think I think more people should wear costumes in

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 3>their daily life.

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think we should just.

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Start showing up cosplaying whatever.

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Just whatever you're into.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>This would be a great Like ice Breaker is, if

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you wear a costume representing whatever it is you're currently into,

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>whether you're binge watching Breaking Bad, or you're into a

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>certain podcast how tan Rito's. You could wear your merch,

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, whatever it is. You can just wear

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>something that represents your current obsession.

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 3>You could wear a shirt with a turtle yes, on

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 3>a skateboard from from our from our merch. You could

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 3>do that if you want to do that is a

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 3>great idea. But I it's a great idea for like

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 3>those of us that like doing ridiculous stuff.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I if you did this like at work.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 3>And I just imagine someone like my husband being told like, hey,

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 3>you have to he'd be like.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I quit, Oh, he would never he'd wear like a

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Dodger shirt that you know that's.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he wears something, Uh, snarky and sarcastic. Which more credit. Yeah,

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, I think maybe we should just make everyone

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 3>on our on our zoom do that when we record

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 3>next week.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Everyone dress up, dress up. No, I mean you can

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>if you want to.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, don't challenge me, don't threaten me with a good time.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Give us a platform for a stupid idea, because we

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 3>will take it.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll take it, we will run with it. Yes.

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which And speaking of I think, uh, do we

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 3>talk about this last week that people were enjoying our

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>unhinged minisode where we played every character.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know have we talked about that since it aired.

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we have.

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we have.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>People apparently, I think they liked it. I think we.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Were getting a lot of comments that they liked it,

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 3>that it was ridiculous.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I love it. Uh that we they don't know why

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't have that.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>We're not egot winners at this point, given the quality

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 3>of performance.

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Sure, but you know, well we're working on it, guys,

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 2>we're working on it.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 3>But but yeah, it was I think people enjoyed our craziness.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I just hope that it wasn't confusing. I

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>did see some comments people were like, I could picture

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the episode in my mind as you and I were

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>reading through it. I think the voiceover the voiceovers are

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>what kind of threw me for a loop. Was because

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you're reading Rusty's letter in Stephanie's voice or you know,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>so right.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was it was. It was, it was layered,

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Like it was we I think like they picked the

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 3>most challenging episode, like not only are you playing another character,

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>but you're playing another character reading another character's note as

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 3>though that, Yeah, it's it.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Was a lot. I'm confused just listening to you. Yeah,

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it was a lot. But it was fun. Well.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Luckily the fan of Ritos know the shows, yes, so

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 3>than we do way better than we yes, yes. And

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 3>speaking of shows that they know, we just recently did

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>the the gym episode, the shape Up episode was it

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.000

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, So tell us, Okay, we gave a little

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>brief intro, but tell us what your job is, your title,

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>tell us a little bit about the company you founded

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>with Melissa Kolia, tell us everything.

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 5>Yes, So I am a certified nutritional therapy practitioner, which

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 5>is just kind of a fancy way of saying holistic nutritionist.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 5>And I have my own private practice, but right now

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I have been focusing mostly on Live Well, Lead Well,

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 5>which is the company that Melissa Coulier, Dave's wife. I'm

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 5>sure people can make that connection she and I founded,

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 5>and it is a holistic wellness company that helps female

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 5>leaders prioritize their health. So whether that looks like a

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 5>government official or a C suite woman or even someone

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.839
<v Speaker 5>who's the leader of their household, leadership can take on

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 5>so many different roles, and so we help implement nutrition,

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 5>functional movement, and mindfulness through breathwork and journaling and things

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 5>like that into your day so that you can handle

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 5>stressors better. Because stressors aren't going anywhere, but the way

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 5>in which we react to them is the variable here.

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 5>And when you have your health. You can do anything

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 5>with more confidence and more clarity.

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I just want to Mel, you've you and

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I have worked together, which I mean I still to

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 3>this day, I'm like, I just hear your voice in

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 3>my head of like, Okay, if you're gonna, you know,

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 3>have a little treat, you have a treat and then you.

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Know, have a vegetable like just you know, like it's now,

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not stress, you know.

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 3>But I also have to see you have been working

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 3>with my mom who has diabetes and is really trying

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 3>to control it with you know, health and diet and exercise,

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 3>and also you just made such a huge difference for her.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 2>You really, I can't.

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Tell you how many times she's been like, oh my gosh,

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I just love Mel. I didn't expect, you know, the

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 3>holistic part of looking at what food does for you.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.559
<v Speaker 3>What is the you know, the stressor the thing you know,

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 3>what do I turn to food for whatever?

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 2>But you've just you helped so many people.

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited to have you a part of this

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>conversation because it is super important.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. And oh my gosh, I love your mom

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 4>so much.

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>She was one of our first guests.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh amazing.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, it's interesting because you know, everyone has

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 5>a food story, and even just between yourself and your mom,

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 5>your food stories are totally different. And I think it's

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 5>something that isn't talked about a lot, and sometimes the

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 5>thoughts that you have in your head about food and

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 5>about your body, there's a very different conversation when you're

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 5>having it with yourself than when you're saying it out

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 5>loud to someone else, because you can learn so much

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 5>more about why you think the way you do about

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 5>health or food when you really figure.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.439
<v Speaker 4>Out the roots of that story.

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 5>And I think this episode is such an interesting sort

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 5>of snippet on that for DJ, which was so relatable I.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 4>Think for so many girls, including myself, watching that.

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I would just the shock of like what

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the diet culture sort of was of that era.

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>And I mean I remember it well.

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, everything was sugar free, fat free, you know,

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 3>it was all about how to lose weight and how

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>to stay skinny and how to you know, and I'm look,

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 3>we haven't gotten completely away from that, but it was

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 3>just such an interesting, interesting kind of juxtaposition between today's

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 3>conversations and nineteen ninety conversations.

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 4>You know, even in the way that and it's a pendulum, yeah.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 3>And even in the way that the adults handled it

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 3>with DJ, like you know some of the things they said,

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 3>Andrey and I were like, no, what do you oh

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 3>you oh, don't say that.

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Don't that's no.

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>But in one of the early scenes, Becky walks into

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen and finds DJ taping pictures of supermodels onto

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the fridge as her inspiration, so she won't eat when

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>she sees these pictures as she's going to the refrigerator.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, Becky, that's a red flag, Like

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>come on, she would and she gives some good advice

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>about healthy eating, but it's just like, did no one

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>see any of these red flags coming? DJ was screaming

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 1>it was like yeah, across her forehead.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.599
<v Speaker 5>And the ice pops right like she's having a conversation

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 5>with everyone.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, She's like, no, I'm just sucking on an ice

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 3>cube while everyone's eating cake, totally normal, and all the

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>adults are like, okay.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 5>There was a lot of those little miss signals, and

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 5>that was one of my biggest notes. And the other

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 5>interesting thing about Andrew you had said what Becky said

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 5>was I think you know, this is what makes it

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 5>such a delicate subject because because I think that people

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 5>have a tendency to want to solve other people's problems,

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 5>and it's sort of a form of a love language, right,

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 5>and I'm guilty of that as a parent and a friend. Right,

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 5>I want to solve your problem right then and there

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 5>and provide a solution for you. But the problem is

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 5>is when Becky says, you know, well you just have

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 5>to eat like this and here's the standard meal plan,

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 5>that already makes DJ feel like she has failed because

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 5>she's like, well, what if she's already doing that and

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 5>it's not working for her body, or what if she

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 5>doesn't know how to do that and enjoy it. So

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 5>it's sort of you know, it's a very common thing

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 5>for people to just say, well, just do this and

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 5>this is the result that you will get.

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, And it sort of categorizes food into good

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>food or bad food, where there's that there's a balance.

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, DJ's so all or nothing. She's like, no,

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't eat I have to have ice pops instead,

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, well, no, there's a there's a healthy

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>balance between eating good foods and then indulging occasionally but

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>not going so overboard, which she does in this episode

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>right well.

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 3>And I think too, like it's such an important part

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 3>of it is also talking about like the development at

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 3>that age. It's so you know, your body is like

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 3>you're still not through puberty really completely and through you know,

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 3>you're like still stretching and growing and doing all of

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 3>these things, and so you know, it's it was so

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 3>hard to see, and it was so hard to see.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Like DJ, who is not at all a large girl,

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to be discussing it and no one's saying like.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 3>You're healthy, You're fine, you know, like everyone was like, oh,

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 3>I can see why, and you're like wait, no, wait, wait,

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 3>we're just jumping on this board or on this bandwagon.

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 5>Except it was interesting Steph's character, and I thought this

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 5>was so perfect because it reminded me of you personally, Jodi,

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 5>because you say it how it is and you call

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 5>it out. And she was like, I mean, I'll keep

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 5>the secret, but I don't love this. That is just

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 5>so something that you would say, very true, like you know,

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't want this, but I'm a good friend and

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 5>like I'll keep this out on the down low.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Right, So that was sort of a side segument becomes

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 3>a problem. I'm sorry, I'm letting you We're done.

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no, I did. I love stuff and her

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>reaction to this and her like, I don't think this

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is a good idea, and like, I'm not, and the.

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Importance of also that idea that you know, we we

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.879
<v Speaker 3>can keep each other's secrets as long as it's not

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 3>about safety or health or putting anyone in danger, and

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 3>those aren't the secrets that we keep, you know, exactly.

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 5>And you know, she was comparing herself like you had said,

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, she's not somebody you would look at and say, yeah, no,

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 5>they need to work on their health. But the problem

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 5>was she started with the episode started with those magazines

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 5>and the nineteen nineties that was the time that it

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 5>really took off with tabloids and paparazzi and then the

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 5>ultra thinness in your fashion models, which also even kind

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 5>of dictated how the fashion industry was, like remember the

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 5>super low rise genes.

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 3>And the baby teas, yeah, the heroine chic yeah, you know, yeah,

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it was already creating this this expectation for how your

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 3>body types should even look like.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 5>And so I think I think it was just she

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 5>was falling as a victim to the messaging that she

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 5>was being exposed.

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 4>To, right as we all work.

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, I mean the advent of you know, photoshop

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 3>and all of that in the.

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Late eighties early nineties.

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 3>All of a sudden, it was like you could tweak

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 3>and gloss over and make, you know, into perfection anything

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 3>you want. And now it's even more. You can do

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 3>it on your phone, you do. You don't need Adobe

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Photoshop Pro to do.

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like you can make yourself look completely different and

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 3>look like how you think you should look.

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Rather than how you actually look, you know.

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And that makes me question who's like who's buying who

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 1>was buying these magazines in the nineties, Like who's this for?

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Because women don't want to feel less?

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Then?

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 1>So is this all like how you mentioned like this

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was the look of the models the baby tees, Like

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>is this all for the male gaze? Like these are

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>editors putting these models on the covers because that's what

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>men want to see. Because I don't know if women

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>want to see that.

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 3>I'd say that I don't think women want to see it,

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 3>but it's almost that that is like almost a subconscious

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 3>thought because that kind of goes underneath, like you don't

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 3>really think about how much you don't want to see

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 3>that until you like go through all of the nonsense

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.920
<v Speaker 3>of fighting that battle, you know what I mean. I

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 3>feel like your teens and twenties are like you don't

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 3>even think about like not engaging in that comparison, you know, right, Well.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 5>I think it's also just a side effect of diet culture,

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 5>and it it got to that point because of the

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 5>trajectory of how diet culture started. Right, So if if

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 5>you want at a history lesson.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 3>You know me, let's go, hold on, I'm getting oes. Yeah, yeah,

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 3>And we're also just going to blame the patriarchy.

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.880
<v Speaker 2>So there we go the blanket.

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 5>And so in diet culture actually started in ancient Greece,

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 5>and it wasn't necessarily like a top thing. It's just

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 5>that in ancient Greece, you know, dictated by religion and

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 5>culture and food availability, they there was a big emphasis

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.199
<v Speaker 5>on physical movement, as you can see from what we

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, the pieces of history that we see from

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 5>that time, and also just about the food combinations. Again,

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 5>so many different areas of food groups were available in

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 5>that part of the world. So that's where sort of

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 5>diet culture started. But then it wasn't until the nineteenth

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 5>century where there was an actual desire to change your

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 5>body type based on what you eat.

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Did that have to do with.

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 3>The the sort of advertising total alog we had newspapers

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 3>and things that were we were advertising more.

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we actually had more things to compare ourselves to

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 5>and to sort of aspire to be. And so there

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.919
<v Speaker 5>was this need and desire for the change of your body.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 5>So people were trying to find solutions, and solutions aren't

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.680
<v Speaker 5>popular unless they can say that they're quick. So we

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:12.199
<v Speaker 5>had methods like calorie counting come out, which you know,

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 5>calorie counting doesn't tell you anything about the value of

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 5>the food or what you're actually eating, right, So I

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.439
<v Speaker 5>could make the most ideal plate for you, filled with

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, healthy fats and protein and healthy carbohydrates and

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 5>all the things, and I could make that the same

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 5>amount of calories as something that's not very good for you.

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 5>So again it just doesn't it doesn't tell you what

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 5>value you're getting from the food. And then you actually

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 5>started to see diet pills, which were all sorts of

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, dangers associated with those Back in the day

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:47.679
<v Speaker 5>and still to this day.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I mean the fifties and sixties that was

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, dexadrine was keeping everyone going exactly and so

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 3>then and.

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Is it like was it were those like laxatives or

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 1>was it like the dream was speak basically yeah, ye

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 1>speed okay, so people yeah, okay, but.

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>They were marketed as great a diet appetite.

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 3>You're like, well, yeah, that's that's the point.

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:13.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, right, so there we are. They're a wide variety

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 4>of those.

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.199
<v Speaker 5>And then and then weight Watchers, you know, jumping to

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 5>the sixties. So weight Watchers was founded inteen nineteen sixty three,

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 5>and it was the first diet to actually provide before

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 5>and after photos. And so I think this is a

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.440
<v Speaker 5>key piece in like where we got you know, how

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 5>did we get there in the eighties and nineties, because

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.960
<v Speaker 5>we weren't really given the idea of here's what you

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 5>look like now, and here's what you could look like

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 5>after you do this thing, right, and so we began

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 5>romanticizing that after photo, and people kind of took that

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 5>to the next level because you don't know what that

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 5>after photo is going to look like. So what do

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 5>you picture? You picture this standard that we are being fed.

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 5>And I think that was a really key part in

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 5>diet culture because it did. To start, you started to

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:06.400
<v Speaker 5>see this desire for thinness and this sort of one

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 5>size fits all.

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:10.639
<v Speaker 4>Sort of prototype of that.

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 5>So then of course big food kind of capitalized on

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 5>that and you started seeing South Beached diet and slim

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 5>Fast and all of these.

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, remember Mom Susan Powder and her white hair.

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Stop the insanity.

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean that was, like, you know, it was everywhere

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 3>for Oprah was constantly like losing weight and gaining it,

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 3>and everyone would criticized, and then she'd lose it and

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.720
<v Speaker 3>then she I mean it was we were just well.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember was it on her show she wheeled

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.400
<v Speaker 1>out in on like a wagon the amount of weight

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>she lost, which I don't know if it was sixty

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>pounds eighty pounds of animal fat, like she rolled that

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>out onto the stage as the visual of just how

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>much weight she had lost. And that's just that image

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>just stays and stays in your head. Yeah, crazy, So anyway, sorry,

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it didn't men, she didn't at all.

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 5>This is all relevant, So it's yeah, that was that's

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.439
<v Speaker 5>basically like the cliff notes of of I think the

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 5>trajectory that got DJ to actually opening that magazine. It's

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 5>like when in Devil Wars Prada when Meryl Streep explains

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 5>the evolution of her blue sweater. You know, so it's

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:17.719
<v Speaker 5>it is important to kind of think about like how

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 5>did we get here? And yeah, so that's what she

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 5>was being fad what and it's so no, go go.

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, it's so it's so relatable even

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to Jody and I as we were watching that episode.

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're in our forties and we still feel

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.479
<v Speaker 1>like when DJ says I don't like the way I

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>look like, that is so for so many women, so

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>many and it doesn't just women, anybody of any age.

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:50.239
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's so relatable to want to make your

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>body look a different way. And in DJ's case, it

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was to fit in because she was going to a

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>pool party where her friends were going to be and

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>she's like, I don't want to wear a bikini in

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>front of people unless I lose however much weight she

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to lose, and it's it's relatable and sad, but

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that's why this is such an important episode for for

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>people to watch.

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say that, you know, Kimmy was pretty

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 3>oblivious in this situation. We love Kimmy, but sometimes she's

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 3>a little unaware. She was very she was not helpful.

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 3>She was like this, I got the smallest bikini possible, right,

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 3>But like, how could Kimmy or a friend at that

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 3>age maybe be a little more aware or ask the

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 3>right questions or you know, because I know, you know,

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.679
<v Speaker 3>my kids have had friends and you know, struggled with

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 3>struggling with food stuff, and it's always they don't quite

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 3>know what to say.

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Or how to support or how to be helpful.

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.119
<v Speaker 3>And it is it's such a time of like different

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:56.199
<v Speaker 3>body types, you know.

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 5>It is, it is, And I think that's an advantage

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.120
<v Speaker 5>of this generation, right, I mean, something that I see

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 5>is like this, you know, And I don't want to

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 5>say assume that it's confidence, right because confidence can be

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 5>can sort of be a facade when we see it

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 5>on social media or whatever. But even just comparing like

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.640
<v Speaker 5>our home videos to like our choreographed spice girl dances

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 5>to like the tiktoks I see, I'm.

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Like, Okay, this is the next level confone.

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 3>The play is my cousins and I used to put

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 3>on making up our own stupid songs and now I'm like,

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 3>these kids are putting on like full on music videos.

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and so I think, you know, there is this

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 5>celebration of individuality now, which is great. But I think,

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, as far as how Kimmy reacted and said like, oh,

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:43.919
<v Speaker 5>I just need a donut, and you know, whatever you

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 5>had said was was very funny. And I think it's

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 5>also because that your food story wasn't a big part

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.199
<v Speaker 5>of your life. It was you know, it was not

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 5>something that you maybe consumed your thoughts like it did DJ.

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 5>And so I think now, you know, as a teenager

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:04.360
<v Speaker 5>to teenager, I think it's important to just maybe ask

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 5>more questions, you know, why do you feel like that?

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 5>And maybe yeah, point out those red flags, but not

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 5>in a way that's accusatory, because that can also be

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, someone I personally had an eating disorder, and

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 5>you never want to feel like someone is accusing you

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 5>of something, even if you're still doing it right of.

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 3>Course, because you're just like no, no, how dare you?

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 4>And then exactly and then try not to provide a solution.

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 5>And I do think that that's important again kind of

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 5>back to the Becky's comments about a meal plan Jesse's

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 5>comments about, well, you just have to exercise.

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 4>And maybe just provide them a safe.

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 5>Space to express express their their needs. But if you

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 5>see like serious signs, then you know somebody does need

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 5>professional help.

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Stephanie's the only one that saw the signs and

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 1>spoke up about it. You know, that was It's almost

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>as important an episode for Stephanie as it is for dj.

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's a great sister episode about that. Sometimes

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:17.919
<v Speaker 3>when you really love somebody, you have to tell on

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 3>them in order to keep them safe.

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly.

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 5>And then you know you saw the overconditioning at the gym,

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 5>and I think that was another another really interesting thing

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 5>about like the extremes is a big sign, right, the

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 5>extremes of what you're seeing. You see the whole group

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 5>going to the gym, and everybody's sort of like having

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 5>fun with it, and that's what that's what health should be,

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 5>is fun.

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 3>If you can't wear suspender and you're to the gym,

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what you're doing.

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>That's say.

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 5>The audios are like a whole other podcast episode.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness, it was so wild.

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Jody and her suspenders at the gym.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Good, Well, you know, if I get a little crazy,

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, on my my lead hard and falling down.

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>You got to hold those things up.

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 5>And then also like the outfits that they got Michelle

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 5>to wear a side note, like having a toddler, I'm like,

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 5>how on earth did those girls just.

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Roll with it?

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, first of all, the commentary that we have about

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Michelle is basically on her own all the time and

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 3>manages to get herself dressed in these outfits and everyone

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 3>she walks into her room and everyone's like, oh my gosh,

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I Michelle, Oh look at you ready, But you're like,

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 3>this kid has leg warmers, tights, a leotard.

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, she has like.

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 4>A whole team working for her.

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 3>They and well when she's taking time off of her

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, important therapy sessions that she's giving to every

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 3>adult in the house because Michelle really solves all the problems.

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 5>So oh my gosh. And when she went in on

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 5>that cake, that was also like everyone's reaction. I could

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 5>tell everyone was trying so hard not to laugh.

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, trying hard not to laugh.

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Also at the absurdity of it, Like we're just standing

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 3>here and letting the toddler cawl on table the cake.

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so good, joke's got to work anyways.

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the no, the and I was going to.

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Say, like the the overconditioning and the overtraining.

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's something that.

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:13.959
<v Speaker 3>We I've seen in people my age and adults, you know,

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 3>who are like, oh, I've got to you know, I

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 3>have to lose this weight in this amount of time,

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 3>So I'm gonna absolutely push myself and kill myself to

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 3>do it. And you know, the body doesn't work that way,

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 3>like you might lose some water weight. But you know,

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 3>maybe we can talk a little bit about like how

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 3>why that doesn't work and why if you, you know,

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 3>want to keep.

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Your body healthy, like doing stuff like these.

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Crash diets and this overtraining and all of this really

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 3>actually doesn't help your body function at its best.

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I mean, I think the first thing to kind

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 5>of explain is the concept of bio individuality, which I

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 5>think everybody needs to know what it is, because it

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 5>takes so much pressure off of you to think like, oh,

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 5>because if you've spent your whole life sayingle I've just

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, every diet has failed me, nothing works for me.

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 5>Why because does this person do something and look like that,

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.719
<v Speaker 5>and I've tried it and it didn't work. So bioindividuality

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 5>is the concept that every single body is biologically different

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 5>and therefore requires different foods and different types of movements in.

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Order to thrive.

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 5>And it really makes a whole lot of sense because

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 5>think about even just the three of us in this

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 5>zoom room, you know, think about where we came from.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 5>They were all different places. So everybody has different genetics,

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 5>different ancestry, different environmental factors. Some people are living closer

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 5>to you know, certain things that could be sparking histamine reactions.

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 5>There's also lifestyle factors, you know, do you how active

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.479
<v Speaker 5>are you? What is your stress level? Like all of

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 5>those things. It's not just food and exercise. All of

0:31:56.360 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 5>those things factor into how your body processes, processes everything.

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:05.000
<v Speaker 5>And so once you understand that you are uniquely you

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 5>and different and therefore require different things, you can kind

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 5>of take yourself out of this, like check all of

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 5>these boxes in order to be healthy. So I think

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 5>it's about finding what works for you, and a lot

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:21.719
<v Speaker 5>of that requires you to listen to your body and

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 5>to respond to the cues that it's giving you. So

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 5>so much of diet culture tells you to ignore the

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:30.680
<v Speaker 5>signs that your body is giving you, whether that be

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 5>hunger you know, oh I'm not supposed to be hungry,

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 5>or I'm going.

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 3>To dread a lot until this time, right, yeah, exactly,

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 3>or even fads like intermittent fasting.

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:43.959
<v Speaker 5>You are following these rules and ignoring maybe hunger at

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 5>nine am, you know.

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 4>And so I think.

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 5>It's again just important to understand what your body is

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 5>telling you and do that eating when you're hungry. And

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 5>sometimes it's the simplest things that I will tell people

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 5>and they're like, oh, yeah, I guess I should be

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 5>eating when I'm hungry and not waiting until.

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, I know, when I wait, I make really poor

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 3>food decisions, Like if I'm a little bit hungry, I'm like, oh,

0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I could have something good for me. The hungrier I get,

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 3>the more I'm like, I don't care what it is, fried, whatever,

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 3>just shove it in my face.

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll eat it, you know.

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 3>And it's like keeping your body to sort of that

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 3>regular like routine.

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>And I mean yesterday I was like, I don't think

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I've eaten in eight hours.

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like not a good Dame day, I know, but

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 2>it was like going all over.

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Sorry I had to tell myself, but it was like

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 3>one of those days and I was like, oh, yeah, this,

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, I this is not how I like to

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 3>routinely treat my body.

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and that's that's just a result of low blood

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 5>sugar and when we when we wait too long to eat,

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 5>our blood sugar dips and we become shaky and irritable.

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 4>And that's where that hungry term comes from.

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 5>And our body just craves quick car quick carbohydrates and

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 5>usually the form of exactly French fries. So not that

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 5>French fries can't exist in a in you know, a

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 5>healthy week, but yeah, so it's it's about finding what

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 5>works for your body and like I said, listening to

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:11.319
<v Speaker 5>your cues and eating a wide variety of things, you know,

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 5>lots of different colors on your plate, and always making

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 5>sure you know you have a source of protein and

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't have to look like a like a chicken

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 5>breast with steamed broccoli.

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:24.239
<v Speaker 4>You know, we're not going for that.

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Beggy's suggestion was like, no, just some boiled chicken

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 3>and some white rice, and I was like, no, no,

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 3>thank you. Steam right, I might as well have an

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 3>ice pop with all that flavor. You know, it's just

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 3>not I mean, don't don't. I'm not suggesting that, but

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I but like, you know, there are That was the

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 3>one thing that I really learned when you and I

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:49.760
<v Speaker 3>were working together was like, healthy food can still taste great,

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 3>and you can still get the little cravings that you

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 3>want if you're willing to kind of swap out this

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 3>for this, or make a substitution, or make it dark

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 3>chocolate instead of milk chocolate, well you know whatever it

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 3>might be.

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Like, Yeah, I learned so much of that from you.

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 2>And colorful food, yeah, and that food.

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 5>There are some good beige foods, but exactly what you said,

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 5>figuring out, you know, what do you enjoy to eat

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 5>and how can we make that a little healthier. And

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 5>then when you do want to have, like when you

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 5>want to go to the restaurant and have like the

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 5>real deal, the best form of it, you do that

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 5>with intention and you enjoy it, and you're not in

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 5>your head the whole time, and you don't allow your

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 5>decisions tomorrow to be dictated by that meal. You know,

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 5>just just be in the moment and enjoy it and

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.399
<v Speaker 5>surround yourself with people that you love.

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 4>When you eat.

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, that's another thing I think, you know, back

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 5>to your question about like what friends can do, what

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 5>family can do, is just make make eating a happy thing,

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 5>and whether that means cooking more together in the kitchen

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 5>or just trying to have more family meals or friend

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 5>meals where you're having meaningful conversation, and that's associating a

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:05.280
<v Speaker 5>positivity with that meal, because if you ate that meal

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 5>by yourself after a really hard day and you are

0:36:12.160 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 5>just in your head the whole time, your body is

0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:16.920
<v Speaker 5>going to process that meal very differently than if you

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.800
<v Speaker 5>were relaxed and you were.

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:22.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, in the moment and really enjoying it.

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 3>I find too, I tend to stuff my face less

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 3>and eat past the point of being stated when I

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 3>eat like alone, or when I wait too long to eat,

0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 3>like you know, I have a much healthier like Oh no,

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm actually like listen like you said, listening

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.239
<v Speaker 3>to those body signals where you're like, oh no, I

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 3>actually I'm done. I only ate like half of this

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 3>and I'm full. But sometimes left to my own devices,

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, no, my taste.

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Buds are bored. They need more.

0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like how you mentioned intentional eating, because I

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>think we tend to get into habits of like, oh,

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it's late at night. You know, dinner was a few

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>hours ago, but I'm going to sit on the couch

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>and watch a show and eat my comfort food, whatever

0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that is, if it's chips or ice cream or whatever.

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:14.000
<v Speaker 1>What's your advice for like breaking that pattern? Or I

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's the solution to that. Like if someone says, well,

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I Automi crave ice cream at nine o'clock

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 1>every night, what, like, what's your advice for that?

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 5>I think it's about really thinking about why you're making

0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 5>that choice a lot of times and I hear that

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 5>same thing, ice cream at nine right, and listen, when

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 5>we're watching Netflix, we want something to eat, Like that's

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 5>it's it's a nice ritual, and I can I can

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 5>fully admit that, but I think it's important to realize, Okay,

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:43.839
<v Speaker 5>why am I doing that every night?

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Is it because it's what I do? Is it because

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 4>I've been restricting myself during the day in order to

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 4>do that at night?

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Is it because I'm stressed and that's my time to

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 5>feel okay? And once you identify the root of a

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.359
<v Speaker 5>habit like that, it can be easier to I don't

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.880
<v Speaker 5>want to say break the habit because breaking the habit

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 5>has such a negative connotation and negativity about like.

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, that makes ice cream bad and it doesn't.

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 5>It's taking the idea of it and why you're doing

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 5>it and maybe making that a little different. So if

0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 5>it's simply a restriction thing, that could be affecting your

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 5>blood sugar and therefore you actually are really hungry and

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.279
<v Speaker 5>craving that, so can you eat more during the day

0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 5>and maybe eat more balanced during the day so that

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:39.960
<v Speaker 5>after dinner you feel more satisfied and maybe you physically

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:45.200
<v Speaker 5>won't crave that at nine, or maybe it's something you

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.120
<v Speaker 5>do like on the weekends, because that becomes a more

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 5>of a special tradition. So in asking yourself, am I

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:55.440
<v Speaker 5>even enjoying this? And I know that was something that

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 5>Jody and I worked on a lot, is just to

0:38:57.440 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 5>stop and pause, like do I even want this?

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Or am I just doing this? Because this is what

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:01.920
<v Speaker 4>I do.

0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 3>I constantly go to the pantry and I'm like, am

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 3>I hungry?

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Or am I bored? And a lot of times the

0:39:09.280 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 2>answer is I'm just bored.

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Like I literally am like just kind of in the

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:15.239
<v Speaker 3>house and I'm like, I guess I'll go eat a cookie,

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, like it's and it's never like, oh, I

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 3>think I'll go have a cucumber, you know.

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like I'm bored.

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Therefore I want sugar fat some sort of you know,

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:30.279
<v Speaker 3>something to entertain my brain and taste buds. And so

0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 3>many times when I just pause and ask that question,

0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 3>like you actually don't, I don't.

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really hungry for you know, a bowl of

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Swedish fish, yeah, and maybe three or four balance yeah.

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And it puts you in the driver's seat.

0:39:44.719 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 5>I think people feel out of control, and it seemed

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 5>that DJ was feeling out of control in this whole episode.

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 4>It's like I like, I don't make these decisions. These

0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 4>decisions are made for me.

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.440
<v Speaker 5>And that when you when you feel like you're in

0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 5>control and you feel like you are are intentionally and

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 5>mindfully making choices, you might make choices differently.

0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:07.800
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's just something to to sort of

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:08.440
<v Speaker 4>keep in mind.

0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, trying to think of other shows around that time

0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 3>that did any you know, I feel like that was

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:21.719
<v Speaker 3>probably Facts of Life or so, you know, at some

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:25.439
<v Speaker 3>point the shows did uh, other ones, But I'm trying

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:29.360
<v Speaker 3>to think of any others that really dealt with like

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:34.840
<v Speaker 3>a young teenager kind of going through this, because.

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was really like it was.

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 3>It was a difficult subject to sort of talk about,

0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:45.479
<v Speaker 3>you know, and to do it in the right way.

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 3>And I you know, of course, thirty plus years later,

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 3>we're like, well, this should have been the way you

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.879
<v Speaker 3>handle it. But where do you think we've gone as

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 3>far as like going from the diet culture of the

0:40:56.040 --> 0:41:00.480
<v Speaker 3>nineties to now the we were kind of in the

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 3>like everybody's great whatever, and then we found ozempic and

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 3>then everyone's.

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh wait, finally the magic thing.

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you see us and you know, of course mentioning

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:21.440
<v Speaker 3>social media, but do you see us kind of going

0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:22.879
<v Speaker 3>backwards a little bit?

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Or are are we having more.

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Realistic conversations about it, like in your line of work?

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:35.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's that's a really great question, and it's I

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 5>feel like a very complicated answer because it's nuanced. But

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 5>I do think.

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 4>We're sort of experiencing both.

0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 5>I like I had mentioned the pendulum, I think the

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 5>ozempic craze has definitely swung the pendulum in the other direction.

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Obviously this drug is used for people who have underlying

0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.879
<v Speaker 5>conditions and there is a need for that.

0:41:59.920 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 4>I think the problem.

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:04.759
<v Speaker 5>Becomes when it becomes a solution for then for so

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:08.360
<v Speaker 5>many people, and now again we're kind of back to

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 5>the quick fix and not figuring out what our body

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 5>needs to thrive and something that we can maintain.

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 4>For years and years.

0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 5>But on the other hand, if we weren't, if we

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 5>weren't looking for quick fixes, the diet industry would implode,

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 5>and there's so much money there, so it's so complicated.

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 5>But I do see so much more body positivity language

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 5>in TV now. You see many more different body types

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:42.120
<v Speaker 5>being cast, which is great, and you also just see

0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:48.440
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more conversation about eating disorders and just

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of putting it out there and even us having

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:51.800
<v Speaker 5>this conversation today.

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 4>It definitely isn't tiptoed around.

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Maybe like it was when that episode was made, when

0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:01.840
<v Speaker 5>the Full House episode was made. But I think social

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:05.400
<v Speaker 5>media has also taken us backwards with that because of

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:08.400
<v Speaker 5>the way in which we're able to curate things and

0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:12.560
<v Speaker 5>edit things so much. Like obviously tabloids and fashion magazines

0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 5>were edited in their own way, but now we scroll

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 5>and for a young mind, they're not going to say, well,

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 5>I think that's edited, right.

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, my kids never thought.

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 2>They were like no, but they look so good. I

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:25.919
<v Speaker 2>was like, that is not real.

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 3>Look at that's not even look at the way that

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:29.680
<v Speaker 3>the picture goes.

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>In the background. That's not a real human you know.

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:36.480
<v Speaker 3>But you can't you can't tell them that because they're like, no,

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 3>everything is real, right.

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:39.279
<v Speaker 4>And the filters too.

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean again, looking at our photos from teenage years,

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, we did not have filters.

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:50.799
<v Speaker 3>No, no, so so I yeah, it's I hope that

0:43:50.880 --> 0:43:52.200
<v Speaker 3>we continue to go in.

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I hope that a path to more of

0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 5>a balanced way of looking at it and more of

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:05.480
<v Speaker 5>a celebrating everybody's uniqueness is out there. But I think

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:07.400
<v Speaker 5>it's it's just going to take a long time. And

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:11.920
<v Speaker 5>it goes back to everybody's individual story around food and

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.359
<v Speaker 5>what you're going to do with that, how you're going

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 5>to identify that, and how you're going to work on

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 5>that in your own way that works for you.

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Got it? Yeah, I mean food is one of the

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:29.800
<v Speaker 3>hardest things to sort of regulate and keep balanced because

0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:34.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's emotional eating, there's you know, all sorts

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 3>of things that we use food for that have nothing

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:39.560
<v Speaker 3>to do with running our bodies. And it's one of

0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 3>those really complicated things. It's not like you cannot eat right,

0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 3>you have to eat. So it's a constant thought that

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:49.359
<v Speaker 3>you want to make, not a constant thought. And you know,

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.879
<v Speaker 3>like there's so much, like you said, nuance and sort

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:57.400
<v Speaker 3>of balance to it, and different people struggle in different

0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:00.440
<v Speaker 3>ways and with different severity of it, you know. I know,

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:01.759
<v Speaker 3>for me, it can be easy to be like, oh,

0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 3>just you know, I'll have a cheeseburger and some fries

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 3>and then like you know, go work out or whatever,

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.359
<v Speaker 3>and like for some people that works, and for some

0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 3>people it doesn't. And it's all about being like, well, okay,

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:15.160
<v Speaker 3>how do we support each other in our food journeys?

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 5>Totally, And I think we have also a unique challenge

0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 5>in this country with the fact that our culture is

0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:25.600
<v Speaker 5>so fast paced and so hustle first, that we have

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 5>created all of these convenient options that people sometimes feel

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.520
<v Speaker 5>like they have no other choice but to indulge in

0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:36.839
<v Speaker 5>because the availability. But you go to other countries and

0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:41.000
<v Speaker 5>you don't see that people are eating more locally, they

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 5>are taking more breaks to actually sit down and eat.

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:45.960
<v Speaker 4>It's why you see cafe or.

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 3>They have a three hour meal and it'll you know,

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:51.160
<v Speaker 3>and they're like no, no, no, sit relax right We're like,

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 3>are we done?

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 2>We go get the jacky righty.

0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:56.719
<v Speaker 5>It's just a different way, it's a different culture, it's

0:45:56.719 --> 0:46:02.080
<v Speaker 5>a different way of a different set of priorities, and here, unfortunately,

0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 5>food is not a priority for a lot of people,

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:10.160
<v Speaker 5>and that sort of perpetuates this struggle of how am

0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:11.920
<v Speaker 5>I going to how do I know what's a healthy

0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 5>meal when I have all of these options, in all

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:17.839
<v Speaker 5>of these ads being thrown at me that I could

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:21.440
<v Speaker 5>just eat this and be thin. So it's complicated.

0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you could rewrite the Shape Up episode and

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:33.600
<v Speaker 1>air it today, what changes would you make in that episode?

0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Not to put you on the spot, but I have

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:36.040
<v Speaker 1>an answer to this too, So.

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a really just like hold on, let me get

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:41.279
<v Speaker 2>my script that I wrote. Now. I've been waiting for

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:42.520
<v Speaker 2>this moment for years now.

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:45.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, gosh, I did have a notebook out when

0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I was watching it, and I did cry at the end.

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:50.799
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna lie, but the crying was like, oh,

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:51.160
<v Speaker 4>for a.

0:46:51.080 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 5>Lot of reasons, but still I was just like, man,

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.760
<v Speaker 5>this really got me. First of all, I wouldn't rewrite

0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:00.600
<v Speaker 5>Steph's part because again I was like, very proud of

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:04.280
<v Speaker 5>her and just for like, you know, speaking up and

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:08.680
<v Speaker 5>just being concerned. I would, certainly, I think the most

0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:10.719
<v Speaker 5>the most part, and this is just because I'm a

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 5>parent now, is to rewrite the adult script, you know,

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 5>maybe having more of a check on how they talk

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:28.800
<v Speaker 5>about their own bodies, right, because the transfer of stress

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:31.960
<v Speaker 5>from adults who child is real, and especially when it

0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 5>comes to food, and so I think I would.

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:38.880
<v Speaker 4>I would rewrite how they explained.

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:44.759
<v Speaker 5>What healthy is and how and how to obtain that,

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:48.239
<v Speaker 5>and to also celebrate her for who she is before

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 5>any changes more.

0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:53.239
<v Speaker 4>So, that's that's the main thing.

0:47:53.440 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm trying to think of specific he told me,

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:57.840
<v Speaker 5>I would have come with a full stress.

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I kidding. I wish they had made Kimmy well,

0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 1>not so oblivious, but I wish they had at the

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:10.239
<v Speaker 1>end or maybe throughout. Okay, I haven't really thought through

0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:12.960
<v Speaker 1>this yet, but I wish they had at the end

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:18.399
<v Speaker 1>revealed that Kimmy also feels self conscious about her body too. Yeah,

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I understand the point of Kimmy. It was to be

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 1>held up as, oh, Kimmy's skinny. Kimmy has the perfect body,

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and DJ wants to look like that. But I felt

0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:31.280
<v Speaker 1>so uncomfortable being that thin as a fourteen year old girl.

0:48:32.200 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 1>For as much as you know, Candae was self conscious

0:48:34.600 --> 0:48:36.880
<v Speaker 1>about her chipmunk cheeks, I was self conscious about how

0:48:36.960 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 1>skinny I was on my chicken legs because that didn't

0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 1>feel right either. And so you know, Kimmy's confident and

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:46.600
<v Speaker 1>she's oblivious. But I wish they had kind of revealed

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 1>at the end that, you know what, Kimmy is just

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:51.040
<v Speaker 1>as insecure as DJ too. It's just that Thinness was

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:55.840
<v Speaker 1>held up as the prototype to you know, the dream

0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:57.719
<v Speaker 1>to achieve, and it's like, no, it's not. You know,

0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:01.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody feels self conscious about something, even though you look different.

0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that would have been a really great moment to

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:08.040
<v Speaker 3>see because I think it would have kind of leveled

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:12.880
<v Speaker 3>the playing field and reminded DJ and the audience that, like,

0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 3>nobody escapes from this sort of you know of self consciousness,

0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:20.399
<v Speaker 3>and you know, whether you're skinny, or whether you think

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 3>you're not the right body type or whatever, Like we

0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:24.920
<v Speaker 3>all stand in the mirror.

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And go, oh, I wish this was different, you know.

0:49:27.280 --> 0:49:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's hard, but yeah, that would have been

0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 3>a great addition if Kimmy was like you think, I like, yeah,

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't. This is weird for me too, like I

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:40.400
<v Speaker 3>don't look like you know, these other super model types

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.920
<v Speaker 3>like you know, and that's everybody's experience.

0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:46.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love that too, and it's so true.

0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:51.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think teenagers also they compare themselves to

0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:54.520
<v Speaker 5>what's closest to them and sometimes that that is your

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:58.840
<v Speaker 5>closest circle of friends, and I can relate. And my

0:49:59.360 --> 0:50:02.240
<v Speaker 5>best friend and hig school was like very similar body

0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 5>type to Kimmy, like very very skinny, and I remember

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:06.600
<v Speaker 5>I was like, she has that all.

0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 2>But there were.

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Conversations looking back that I remember where she she had

0:50:10.719 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 5>other insecurities And it doesn't have to be weight, right,

0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:17.600
<v Speaker 5>it's like whatever. Like for DJ, the weight was was

0:50:17.680 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 5>the was the front and center of her insecurity.

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:24.440
<v Speaker 4>But like you said, it was something completely different for you.

0:50:24.760 --> 0:50:30.640
<v Speaker 5>And we are our own worst critic, and well, boy,

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:33.600
<v Speaker 5>everybody has something going on, right.

0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, Yeah, the worst Roger and Ebert in my head,

0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:37.040
<v Speaker 3>that's for sure.

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Terrible reviews.

0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, I also think about the the teenagers or the

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 1>young girls that were watching this episode back in nineteen

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:52.840
<v Speaker 1>ninety and just thinking, you know, anytime Candice watches some

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 1>old episode and she's like, oh, I can't watch that

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 1>episode because I just, you know, I look I hated

0:50:57.160 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 1>the way I looked, and I'm like, but so many

0:50:59.840 --> 0:51:02.319
<v Speaker 1>girl looked up to you, you know, and thought that

0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:04.600
<v Speaker 1>DJ is who I want to be, you know, And

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:07.920
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing wrong with her. She was not overweight,

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>she wielling, she had nothing to change. But by doing

0:51:12.080 --> 0:51:15.360
<v Speaker 1>this episode and DJ revealing you know, my chipmunk cheeks

0:51:15.440 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 1>or you know, whatever the words were that she used,

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and thought, what message is that sending to the girls

0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:23.880
<v Speaker 1>at home that want to look like DJ? Right, it

0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:24.680
<v Speaker 1>just breaks my heart.

0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, me too.

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:27.920
<v Speaker 5>I have a question for you too. Do you remember

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:32.600
<v Speaker 5>conversations like did anybody think like, wow, this this episode

0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 5>is making me think about myself? Or what were the

0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:37.880
<v Speaker 5>conversations like as a kid on set during that time.

0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I know, because I also was kind of like Andrea.

0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like little twig person for a lot of

0:51:48.200 --> 0:51:49.360
<v Speaker 2>my youth.

0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that was also a dynamic between probably the

0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 3>three of us, between you and me. You know, it

0:51:57.080 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 3>was like that was something I think that also probably

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.640
<v Speaker 3>affected Candice and that I you know, and I definitely

0:52:03.640 --> 0:52:05.600
<v Speaker 3>felt where I was like, oh, this is just you

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:08.000
<v Speaker 3>know again like kind of who I you know, you're

0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:12.759
<v Speaker 3>just sort of that's just the body I got. But

0:52:12.800 --> 0:52:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember having like specific conversations, but I definitely,

0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:18.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, you feel sort of the like, oh, well,

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:21.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's you're a you know, chicken legs or

0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 3>you're the you know, and and as a kid, you

0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:26.560
<v Speaker 3>don't necessarily pick up on it, but you do sort

0:52:26.560 --> 0:52:30.759
<v Speaker 3>of feel like, oh, I there's something here that I

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:34.120
<v Speaker 3>don't yeah that like maybe we're comparing each other or whatever.

0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I never spoke up about it. I didn't speak up

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 1>about how uncomfortable I felt in some of the costumes

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that were form fitting, or my uncomfortability with my thinness

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and in this in this case of this episode, it's

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>because I had a role to play, and it was

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Kimmy being the thin one that DJ aspired to be,

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:55.239
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm not going to be like, wait, what

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:56.960
<v Speaker 1>about me? You know, I'm not comfortable with this. I

0:52:56.960 --> 0:52:59.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't speak up because I wanted to be, you know,

0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a team player and this happened like like a seasons later,

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 1>there's an episode where Jesse has a dream sequence where

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:12.239
<v Speaker 1>he's balding and he's got a pot belly and he's

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:14.239
<v Speaker 1>in a he's like a mechanic in a shop, right,

0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 1>and he's married to Kimmi Gibbler, who now looks like

0:53:16.880 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Peg Bundy with that little you know that little The

0:53:20.920 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>outfit the cinched wasst still, the high heels and the

0:53:24.600 --> 0:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>leopard skin top, and it was so form fitting. I

0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:32.960
<v Speaker 1>remember doing I came out. The producers wanted to do

0:53:33.120 --> 0:53:35.120
<v Speaker 1>like a fit check, like they wanted to see what

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I looked like with this outfit on so they could

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:39.680
<v Speaker 1>make changes if necessary. And so I remember walking out

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:41.560
<v Speaker 1>into the living room set in front of all of

0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:44.440
<v Speaker 1>these writers and producers and then looking at me and

0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:48.920
<v Speaker 1>feeling so self conscious about it because people asked my

0:53:49.040 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 1>mom after that, they said, is there a problem? Does

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Andrew have a problem with anorexia? And I felt so

0:53:56.880 --> 0:54:00.399
<v Speaker 1>bad about myself because I'm like, great, I can't control weight,

0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't eat more like, I don't want to look

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.040
<v Speaker 1>this way, but I do, and now people think there's

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:08.800
<v Speaker 1>something wrong with me, and asking out of genuine concern

0:54:08.960 --> 0:54:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know is is andre Anarexik. I think there was

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:13.480
<v Speaker 1>even a rumor on the internet at one point that

0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I died of anorexia, and I'm like, no, I was

0:54:16.360 --> 0:54:20.560
<v Speaker 1>just a gangly teenager. I was just a little you know,

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I was just a little rail thin squirt. But yeah,

0:54:24.840 --> 0:54:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I felt really uncomfortable and I never spoke up about it.

0:54:27.680 --> 0:54:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I never spoke up about it because I felt that

0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I also felt that because thin equaled good and not

0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:37.800
<v Speaker 1>thin equaled bad, I'm like, well, what, I can't speak

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:40.719
<v Speaker 1>up because I am what people are aspiring to be.

0:54:40.800 --> 0:54:44.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was just a weird, a weird mind,

0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, and really it really was. With all

0:54:48.239 --> 0:54:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the mixed messages.

0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I don't you know, we've talked about too

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:53.879
<v Speaker 3>like I don't think any of the producers, I think

0:54:53.920 --> 0:55:01.360
<v Speaker 3>everyone really did try to have these conversations as delicately

0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:04.359
<v Speaker 3>that they're never easy, and it's not easy when it's

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:07.400
<v Speaker 3>amongst your family, you know what I mean, let alone,

0:55:07.400 --> 0:55:09.839
<v Speaker 3>You're like, I'm a teenager and I'm gonna go out

0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:12.680
<v Speaker 3>and stand there and have people comment on it.

0:55:12.719 --> 0:55:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Does this look right? Is this too tight? Is this

0:55:15.160 --> 0:55:17.280
<v Speaker 2>that you know? And it still happens.

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:22.680
<v Speaker 3>I've done many a movie where you know, I've come

0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 3>out and they're like, we need to I don't know

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:28.440
<v Speaker 3>is the sweater or too tight and you're literally standing.

0:55:28.080 --> 0:55:28.480
<v Speaker 2>There like.

0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we're just gonna have like a conversation like

0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not here about how I look like.

0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:37.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a weird. It's a weird business to be.

0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:41.080
<v Speaker 3>In at any age to feel sort of picked apart,

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 3>but to do it as young teenagers when you feel

0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:47.200
<v Speaker 3>like you don't there's no winning.

0:55:48.160 --> 0:55:50.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's true, and I don't think people are

0:55:50.600 --> 0:55:55.400
<v Speaker 5>equipped to approach the subject. It has become such a

0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:59.360
<v Speaker 5>taboo thing. But that reminds me of I think what

0:55:59.560 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 5>also can perpetuate this problem is, you know, everyone has

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:06.560
<v Speaker 5>that relative where you go to a to a holiday

0:56:06.680 --> 0:56:09.200
<v Speaker 5>and they the first thing that they say is something

0:56:09.239 --> 0:56:13.160
<v Speaker 5>about your weight, whether you've lost weight, you've you've gained weight,

0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:16.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, And sometimes it's it's a cultural thing. Sometimes

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:20.319
<v Speaker 5>it's just that that's an insecurity that they have. But

0:56:20.880 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 5>those comments start to add up for people. And even

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:26.680
<v Speaker 5>just hearing you ladies talk about what it's like in

0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:30.600
<v Speaker 5>a fitting. You sometimes can brush it off, but those

0:56:30.640 --> 0:56:33.560
<v Speaker 5>can those can sort of stick too, worse sponges and

0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:37.799
<v Speaker 5>the words that people speak to us matter. And if

0:56:37.840 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 5>someone says, if a relative says that to you one year,

0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:42.879
<v Speaker 5>the next year, you're going to be waiting to hear, well,

0:56:42.960 --> 0:56:43.920
<v Speaker 5>did they say anything?

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.839
<v Speaker 4>Does that mean the opposite? It's it's just.

0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 3>An our friend in high school who really struggled with

0:56:49.480 --> 0:56:53.040
<v Speaker 3>an eating disorder, and it started because her grandmother. It

0:56:53.120 --> 0:56:55.319
<v Speaker 3>was a very cultural thing, but her grandmother would try

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:58.239
<v Speaker 3>and put her hands around her waist and if she would,

0:56:58.239 --> 0:56:59.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, and she'd be like, oh, getting too you know,

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:01.040
<v Speaker 3>and and.

0:57:02.040 --> 0:57:03.360
<v Speaker 2>That was just sort of common.

0:57:03.480 --> 0:57:06.000
<v Speaker 3>And she really really suffered through as she had to

0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:07.959
<v Speaker 3>take the last year off of high school and stuff.

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 2>It was really sad.

0:57:09.560 --> 0:57:14.840
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it you know, that's it starts as a

0:57:14.880 --> 0:57:17.560
<v Speaker 3>little comment here or a little thing, and you just

0:57:17.640 --> 0:57:21.880
<v Speaker 3>start building, you know, sort of this perpetuating idea inside.

0:57:22.360 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 5>That's how mine started as well, was was comments made,

0:57:26.120 --> 0:57:29.080
<v Speaker 5>and it's yeah, it's just I think a reminder for

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:33.160
<v Speaker 5>people to just not comment about someone's weight. And maybe

0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:37.040
<v Speaker 5>we'll have to give producers a little masterclass.

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:39.840
<v Speaker 4>To describe a costume other way.

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, And I mean it is you know, there's

0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:45.120
<v Speaker 3>sort of again this is this business is like we

0:57:45.160 --> 0:57:48.120
<v Speaker 3>you have to have these conversations because it's sort of

0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:49.479
<v Speaker 3>relevant to your job.

0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, you're like, this is such

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a weird thing to be relevant to my job.

0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, human being, my sweater or the yeah, like you know,

0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:00.440
<v Speaker 3>the do I look too skinny as a teenager?

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:00.640
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Whatever?

0:58:00.960 --> 0:58:04.040
<v Speaker 3>It is, like it is, it's hard, And I think

0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:08.720
<v Speaker 3>watching this episode for me, I think the hardest part

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:13.520
<v Speaker 3>of it was knowing how much Candace really did struggle

0:58:13.640 --> 0:58:17.440
<v Speaker 3>with feeling that she didn't like herself and didn't like

0:58:17.480 --> 0:58:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the way she looked, and uh, it just it was

0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.440
<v Speaker 3>so And I said this when we did our recap,

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, it was so hard to watch because it felt.

0:58:26.880 --> 0:58:29.360
<v Speaker 2>So personal in a way, like it felt like.

0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Those of us that knew her, like it felt like,

0:58:32.600 --> 0:58:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, almost invasive, like it felt like, oh God,

0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 3>this is something that I know she's.

0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Really struggling with.

0:58:38.520 --> 0:58:41.320
<v Speaker 3>And it was almost weird to like put it out there,

0:58:41.400 --> 0:58:43.120
<v Speaker 3>but also important.

0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:45.480
<v Speaker 2>So but that was I think for me. I like,

0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I watched that and I.

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Was like, oh, yeah, me too.

0:58:47.800 --> 0:58:52.080
<v Speaker 5>Candace is a client of mine as well, and watching it.

0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:54.240
<v Speaker 4>I hadn't watched that episode since.

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 5>Working with her in that capacity, and I definitely had

0:58:57.080 --> 0:59:00.400
<v Speaker 5>a different set of of viewing glasses on, and I'm like.

0:59:00.360 --> 0:59:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Man, this is part This is a part of her story.

0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:04.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's an important.

0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Part well for all of our listeners out there.

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm just so glad that we got to have like

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:12.200
<v Speaker 3>an important, real conversation about this, and obviously that it

0:59:12.240 --> 0:59:15.240
<v Speaker 3>was with you because we love you, you guys. But

0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:17.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you guys, if someone is listening out

0:59:17.840 --> 0:59:20.240
<v Speaker 3>there who's like, oh, I just wish I was this,

0:59:22.920 --> 0:59:24.920
<v Speaker 3>it won't change your life.

0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:26.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make everything better.

0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:30.000
<v Speaker 3>New things come up no matter what you look like,

0:59:30.080 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 3>no matter what the outside presentation is. And you know,

0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I try to remind my girls all the time, like

0:59:34.680 --> 0:59:37.280
<v Speaker 3>you get one, You get one body in this like

0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:40.600
<v Speaker 3>you you come in with your little peanutshell and that's

0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:44.920
<v Speaker 3>what you got. So learn to make peace with it

0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 3>and enjoy it and support it as much as you

0:59:49.400 --> 0:59:53.800
<v Speaker 3>can because it's not going anywhere, and that self battle

0:59:53.840 --> 0:59:54.440
<v Speaker 3>is miserable.
