Made a decision. I'll thanks sunny sum on I hed visions night. So
let's motherfucker's yo Yo yo Yo is a regular show. Wow, who cares?
Who cares? It's our show. We do what we want. That's
right. It's the day after Thanksgiving, it is. I'm so full,
me too, got that trip to fan going on. I'm ready for a
nap. Oh my gosh, I hate a lot. Yeah. So you're
gonna be in Chicago or you were just in Chicago for Thanksgiving? I am
in Chicago. Yeah, you're in Chicago currently having a great time snowing.
It's freezing, is it? Yeah? I know. This is the problem
with living in California. You have to have a lot of different If you
ever want to go anywhere, you have to have a whole separate wardrobe for
that. Well the thing too, is like the suitcase thing, like you
can't just like you know, I've been going on these college tours and stuff.
So it's like I get to carry on, which is perfect because what
am I going. I'm not going anywhere two pairs of jeans and a lot.
Yeah that and then like you know, going to football games. But
that's it. But now, like when you go to where it's cold,
you got to have a suitcase so that you can bring your jackets, you
know, right, boots or whatever you need. Like the cold weather,
you need a bigger suitcase, right, So you got to check your luggage.
You got to check the luggage. Ugh. Yeah, so I'm not
even packed yet. I understand, I understand. I when we went to
Seattle a little while ago, I needed a jacket for that, but I
just wore it on the plane even though it was like eighty degrees leaving LA.
I just brought my heavy coat and wore it because I was like,
I'm not packing. I know, like that that would require checking the luggage.
So I like loaded myself up, you know what I mean, with
some stuff and like and then just packed one extra pair of shoes two.
I don't know, I know. I am just with you on that.
Yeah. It's a pain. It's a pain. It's a pain, but
hey, you're gonna have fun. It'll be fun once I get there.
I go to Wendy's house and relax, you know. And yeah, I'm
excited. Be nice. Sonny's gonna have a good time. He's excited it.
Tali is excited. Everybody so I'm, like I said, I'm going
to my brother's where I was just at my brother's and here's this is like
a little like a little complaint that I shouldn't even be complaining about. But
I can't help it because I have no filter. This could this could hurt
me in the end. But so we always bought we buy the Thanksgiving dinner
from Gelson's, which is over very overpriced as it is, but I mean
it, it really is way overpriced for what you get. But it used
to be. I feel like it used to be like one hundred and thirty
dollars and you get turkey, and you get your mashed potatoes, and you
get sweet potatoes, and you get vegetable medley of some sort, and then
you get rolls. Okay, And it was we would get a feast for
eight people, even though there's so there's my brother, so four of them,
five of us, that's nine. There's like actually twelve of us every
year for Thanksgiving, but you know, the meal for eight. A lot
of the kids were small, some of the kids were young, so they
weren't really eating that much anyway. Now everybody's older and they're eating more,
but it's still too much like turkey if you get the meal for twelve Well
here's the thing, So one year this is going to sound so, but
I think you'll know what I'm talking about. One year, like I bought
it. We bought the meal, and like nobody offered to like chip in.
So I wasn't going to be like, hey, guys, like I
bought the whole Thanksgiving meal, like right, you guys want to like split
it or you know? Yeah, So I didn't say anything. Uh,
And then like the next year again nobody said anything. Yeah. So like
now it's got up in price. It's like almost two hundred bucks, right,
And the other people that we meet there like they're in charge of like
pie, yes, you know, I know how do people? That's the
thing, you're right, because somebody's and if even if you're not picking up
Gelson's, you're going to the grocery store, like every year I cooked for
seventeen years, I cooked the Thanksgiving the whole shebang, right, and I'm
going to the grocery store and I'm buying everything, the turkey, the sides,
the booze, the everything, right, and then it's like you can
bring pie and like and then they make the homemade pie and they bring like
two homemade pies, right, and it's not enough, And it's like,
yes, so somebody has is the sucker that gets stuck with not just cooking
the whole thing, but paying for the whole thing and cleaning and cleaning up
after the whole thing. Well, so we do go to my brother and
sister in law's house and she does she provides like appetizers and drinks. Yeah,
but like most of us don't drink. So like my John will have
like a beer or two maybe throughout the day. That's just how he is.
I feel like I was so misled. I thought my husband might have
had a drinking problem, like when I first met him, which was okay
by me because I probably had one too at the time. So like we
drank together. But it turned out as I think I've told you that he
was just more keeping me company. He doesn't really on his own accord,
doesn't really drink very much, which is which is obviously fine. But I'm
saying, like, so he's not worried about alcohol. My own my brother
and my sister in law barely drink. So they'll have like some beer right
there. That's it. That's all they have to provide and some like sparkling
water and their house and some appetizers, which great, but here now see
now that it's like these are very quality problems. But like also we have
to drive pretty far, usually in traffic on Thanksgiving. Like I would be
just as happy doing it at my house, but they all live in Santa
Clarita, like the rest of the people that are coming to Thanksgiving, So
like it's that makes more sense for us to go drive to them at it.
Okay, it's I'm sure it's fine, and I'm just being a little
bit cheap, but it's just now just kind of expected. And like the
last couple of years, we had to also bring extra because the two hundred
dollars meal doesn't actually feed everybody anymore. People we need extra mashed potatoes and
gravy. And it's always like, okay, so you're gonna bring like an
extra side. Well each those sides are like twenty five bucks just for so
this year, I said, I kind of it was like a little hint,
little passive aggressive hint. I was like, okay, I'll bring extra
mashed potatoes because I know they don't provide enough mashed potatoes, but like I'm
just gonna make them from like instant mashed potatoes, right, because those sides
that really adds up. Yeah, totally. I'm not spending two hundred and
fifty dollars unless they split it with you. Yeah, but then that creates
a weird thing where it's like, hey, do you guys want to kick
in ten bucks for like half the mashed potatoes? So they provide the house
and the appetizers. What kind of appetizer? That's what I'm saying. It's
like Trader Joe's, you know what I mean. It's not like, right,
she's not cooking up anything super fancy, right, Okay, Yeah,
and it's got a little bit it's gotten a little bit unfair. But like
at this point now it's just the you know what I mean, it's become
the tradition. It's become like it would be weird at this point if I
was like, hey, guys, so the Gelison's is gone up, or
I'd have to be like, you know what, I'm just gonna order it
from Ralph's from now on because it's a lotless expensive. Yeah, well maybe
try raups, don't I don't, or yeah, or you gotta bring the
sides. You just make them. Also, it's not as good anymore because
they don't do sweet potatoes they offer. They do green bean castrole, which
the pie lady, the pie people also like to bring a green bean castle.
Oh they do. Yeah, okay, but I don't eat green bean
castle. Like. I don't care about any of it. Besides appetizers and
turkey. I love the appetite and mashed potatoes, yeah, I like.
And I like the stuffing. Yeah, I don't love stuffing. You know
why, because we've talked about this. It's people due to stuffing. What
people do to tuna salad, which is like, but they add stuff.
Yeah, there's like there's onions, and there's things, there's green, little
green, there's things. I don't celery, celery. No, I don't
like any of that. I don't want to. I don't want my mouth
to. I don't want to unfamiliar things that my brain has to figure out
what it is and then like what is that that I just bit into?
Yeah? Yeah, too much going on and stuffing, that's how I am.
I love stuffing, but I only like just regular stovetop stuffing. So
now I've become known around the House and the Family, as well as podcasts
that I've been on as like, I only eat stovetop stuffing because I don't
want a stuffing with fruit in it. It's just is not exactly yeah,
and it just throws me up. And I love stovetops so much, and
it'll yeah, I love ruined. I've had stuffing where there's like apples put
in it or grapes, and but the stovetop No, absolutely not that.
No, No, I've never had a stuffing that tastes better than stovetope,
me too. But does stovetop have if it does, a celery, a
very small amount might have fun again, but it's yeah, there's there's no
crunch. There's no crunch. I don't think that if there's no crunch,
Yeah, I think that people add celery to it and I and and chop
fresh onions and stuff. No, that's no, you don't need all that
stovetop stuffing. Stop trying to fuck up stuff. And it's so easy to
top and make that. Why are you making it harder on yourself? Put
right right? The thing that I that scheves me out is when they put
the stuffing in the turkey, Like I don't know why, but I'd rather
the stuffing. I would cook the stuffing outside of the turkey in its own
care, and then I would base the stuffing with the turkey juices. But
putting it inside the turkey, Eh, again, unnecessary. Yeah, it's
unnecessary and it makes the turkey taste take longer to cook. Did you know
that? No? I didn't know that. Yeah. Every year we bring
this turkey that's frozen. It's cooked and then frozen, which means it takes
a lot less time to cook because you're not cooking it from raw right,
you don't have to it doesn't have to be thawed. You put it right
in the oven. But it only takes like two and a half hours.
But every year, my sister in law, Raquel, and I are like,
how do we do this again? Every single year? We've been doing
this for like fifteen years, and every year we're like, oh, wait,
do we put some water on the bottom of the pan, and like
how did we do it last year? And which pan did we use last
year? And it's like we're such a mess. Just buy the disposable we
do now. We have been now because I have one of those pans that
have like a grate on it right, so that it's and we were using
that, but then it's like so much cleaning with that thing, I know,
I know. So now we're put We just get one of those foil
things and we put a little. But every year we're like, how much
water you forget? Yeah? How long? Long? How long do you'd
cut? Yes, we underset the oven? Do we? Oh? Do
it? It needs its own setup. But a few years ago we had
a fan of the water Cooler come to the studio and make us a fried
turkey. Never had It was so good, It seems so simple. I
mean, obviously there's horror stories you've seen people try to like fry their turkeys
in the oil goes everywhere and everything catches on fire. But he knew how
to do it. It did not take that long. It tasted so good.
And yeah, if that's possible, I would suggest just doing a fried
turkey. I do that. It's not possible, possible unless you're a fan
from water Cooler wants to drive to Santa Clarina. You're a chef, I
know, just a big giant pot and he just you know, got the
turkey hanging on a thing and he just dipped it in there and then stuck
it in there for however long it takes, took it out and it was
done deep. He used a deep fryer. Yeah, but it was it
was a big giant it was not. Yeah, am I putting that thing?
Also, I haven't even gotten to the point of buying an air fier
yet, Like I'm still back at like which one should I get? I
never progressed past that. I made a TV dinner the other night with my
air fryer really well, because I like, did I tell you this?
I like the tuna nooda castle role from Stofers, and I like it baked
and I like it getting crispy on top. But I always cook it in
the microwave. But now I got this air fryer that we've talked about that
I barely ever use, and I'm like, maybe I should put it.
Can you cook a Like? I was like, can you cook a frozen
dinner in an air fryer? And I looked it up, and you can.
You pop the thing out like a popsicle, You put it in whatever
dish and then you put it in the air fryer. It took the same
amount of if not longer oh, then the end of the oven, Like,
I still had to bake it in the thing unless I didn't set it
on the right setting. Well, if it's an already made thing, then
I guess that kind of makes sense. Yeah, you can make anything in
an air fryer. But did it taste different? Its great? No,
yeah, it tasted better than the microwave. Okay, seven minutes in the
microwave and then I have to so instead versus forty five fifty minutes in the
air fryer. But it's the same, right, You don't know that I
didn't do it right? You put you put it in the airfire for forty
five minutes. Yeah, that doesn't seem right. But is your air more
like anoks like A Yeah, then you probably didn't have it and you probably
baked it on the toast. That's what happened. But can you when I
see when I look it up, they show the air fryers in a I
don't have that kind of air fryer. It's a bucket air fryer. Those
are the regular Yeah, you's the oven? The oven? Yeah, no,
with an airfier feature. So I don't think I have it the right.
I don't know if it was actually but you set it on airfyer,
I guess I turn it on I start. That's that, you know what.
Let's take a quick break before Quint. Yes, oh my gosh,

Kaitlin, Thanksgiving for you? What is that going to entail? How?
What did it entail? How was it? Oh? It was great,
It was fantastic. No, it's the same every year. So I
know what's going to happen. It's you know, Amy's mom does Thanksgiving,
so the whole family comes over, all the you know, just everybody comes
over. It's probably about like thirty people somewhere. Wow. So every year
Amy's mom does the Thanksgiving and then every year Amy's aunt does a kind of
Christmas Eve. So that's how they do it, Okay, and every year
it's a big deal. So this whole week the house has been getting ready
for Thanksgiving, so it's been a bit of a madhouse. But it's always
very very nice and very good and very enjoyable. Do they have how do
they do like the seating? Like, do they bring in tables? Yeah,
they bring in uh tables and then clear out the furniture in the living
room and then just make one big giant table out of like three or four
long you know ones that they have brought in. Okay, everyone just sits
at that so rentals, yeah, rental chairs, tables, and then just
clear out the living room put them there. Nice. Yeah, that's how
it used to be when I was a kid, right, it would be
at one of like the aunts an uncle's house, and never at our house,
but always at one of their houses. And it was always like,
you know, because my mother had a sister and a brother, and then
when my grandmother was still alive, it with so many people. Yea,
yeah, I loved it, though I know, I we never my mom
would cook every year, and we didn't have any cousins in California. They're
all in Cleveland, so like maybe if my if my cousins came to visit
for Thanksgiving, then it was exciting. But every year it was just this.
I liked it when Wendy came into the picture because then she came and
she brought and then she had kids, and then then my nephews would come
over and then that was fun. It would like bring life into the house.
Right, you know, but yeah, my mom would make a turkey
and but yeah, I mean, like I've been cooking every year, and
my kids are not big fans of going to Adam's family for Thanksgiving, right
right, just because there's not any it's you know, it's a lot of
older people and you know, it's kind of boring for them. So we
split it up this year. Well, I love, I highly recommend not
doing anything because you have to because once I got away from like I told,
I mean, I told you this story. But like many years ago,
we'd go to my mom's apartment and it was sort of an an obligation
type thing and it was like not fun. Right, it wasn't fun.
It wasn't fun and relaxing. It felt like work and it felt like just
family stress, and like like it was the kind of thing I had to
brace myself for, you know. And ever since, I've been doing Thanksgiving
with my brother and my sister in law. It's like a pleasure, Like
I like it, Like it's relaxing, and you know it's it's my brother,
hit my sister in law, their kids, and then another couple that
we really like and their daughter, right and us and you guys. Yes,
the freaking amount of people. It's pleasant every year. I really like
these people, Like I really have good conversations with them, and then we
like watch TV and we do and standing up or whatever. Like it's like
whatever, right, it's whatever, right, Yeah, it's got to be
relaxing. It's it's so hard when it's forced, you know, so for
but that's what happens sometimes when you have kids, like little kids, and
then you got to go to so the in laws or the people don't get
along. And but now like, yeah, I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying just
like you know, taking my kids to see their cousins and they enjoy it
and my my family enjoys it. Right, So it's fun. Yeah,
you have to travel, which sucks, But do you feel do you still
have your other place out there? No? No, no, no,
I got rid of that a while ago. Okay, so it's you and
Amy and her parents, right, no one else though, the kids.
Well obviously, yeah that sounds weird though living with her parents. Uh no,
not really, not anymore, even though it wasn't really even weird to
begin with. Her parents are so nice and lovely, you know that it's
it's you know, not hard for me at all. That's nice normal feel
like you don't have privacy though you can't just like a little bit. You
have to like, oh, let's go to our room to have sex quiet,
like yeah, I mean it definitely would be more freeing if they weren't
around. But are they ever Do they ever go anywhere? Yeah? They
go on trips. They were gone like two weekends. Really nice though,
to have built in help, built in hat. But like you're always living
with other people. Well, I guess kids are kind of a cock block
too. Yeah, anyway, but I think a lot of kids live with
their grandparents and stuff like that, you know, or at least in the
Midwest. Yeah, you don't see it a lot out here though I don't
see it. Well. Actually, Sonny was telling me his best friend he
would always go on hang out. He would. We were talking about this
the other day that like he he he always wishes he did have like grandparents
that were like in his life, not like on death's door to say it,
but like you know, right and so, but like, yeah,
he had a friend who every weekend and he would have to go and like
go to his grandparents' house with him, and he was like, I was
more and he's like, I saw what it was like. You know,
some people are so close with their grandparents. He's like, it would be
nice if I was close with my grandparents, but you know, it is
what it is. But and I didn't really. I mean, I had
grandparents, but they didn't speak a lick at English, right, and they
lived in Cleveland, and then they come and visit and I had fun.
I loved it, but they were we were you know, I'm like that
too. I have a good relationship, you know, pretty good relationship with
my grandparents, but you know, they live in England and Arizona. So
I went to go see him once a year when I was a kid.
And now, you know, I haven't seen my English grandparents for you know,
five sixty years, a long time. So I grew up going like
I wish I were around my grandparents more often. So I think it's very
nice that my kids have their grandparents. I don't believe your grandparents are so
alive. Actually, my grandmother in England just died two weeks ago. Oh
but she had really bad Alzheimer's for years and years, so she hasn't you
know. It was kind of just waiting for that to happen. And my
grandfather on my dad's side died about thirteen years ago, so everyone else's still
too. So I have my grandfather on my mom's side is like, there's
her real dad, which she reconnected with, you know, about eight to
ten years ago, okay, and then there's the grandfather that I kind of
knew growing up going to England, so I kind of have like two grandfathers
in England now. So that was like her stepfather, right, and that
she pretty much grew up with, okay, and then she reconnected with her
real dad again about ten years ago. And he's nice. He's you know,
he's a bit of a Back in the day, he was a bit
of a well not a bit of it, was kind of a gangster in
England. Oh yeah. So it's very very interesting and I wish I could
go over there more often, like ask him about that sort of thing.
But yeah, I guess he mellowed out in his old age and is very
nice now. And uh yeah, my grandmother in Arizona's still live. When
we try to go out there as often as we can, maybe it's once
a year, but it's tough. We went there. We went over there
last year. Huh. So yeah, I still got some grandparents around.
That's wild. Yeah, my grandparents died like a million years ago. But
also my grandma was a cunt. Oh really that weird when grandmothers are mean.
Oh yeah, she was not nice. She wasn't nice to my mother
either, which you know, could I don't think like my brother and sister,
I mean they they probably they couldn't have had any real relationship with it,
cause I don't remember. I mostly remember my grandmother from being young,
right, and like I said, not nice, like really critical, like
mean. I would be scared when she was coming to visit us because she
was mean. Weird, it's so horrible. She had a lot to say.
Well, she they're Russian, like from Russia, spoke Russian and came
here when they were like my grandmother and grandfather when they were sixteen. I
think they were already together and they're you know Russian people. They're hard,
Yeah, hard people, you know, fairly cold, Yeah, and like
yeah, don't suffer fools and think everybody's stupid. That's stupid, she's stupid.
Like that was my grandmother's refrain, all that everybody was stupid, stupid.
Yeah yeah, yeah, well anyway, you were going to tell us
about your your uh your workout regimen. Oh, I was because I need
to be inspired after all this Thanksgiving eating. Okay, so I've been.
I was thinking of you, and that's why I was like, I'm going
to share this this new my new weight loss theory. It's not new.
It's just that sometimes I'm not like, Okay, so my big thing to
lose weight. So I've lost some weight recently, you know, like not
even that long ago, a couple of months ago, I was complaining because
I'd let things get a little out of control. My the thing that brings
me down is sugar because I'm such an addict that when I'm eating sweets,
like I'm eating sweets like I'm gonna eat the fuck out of some candy,
like and I'm nobody's safe, Like no dessert in our house is safe from
me. Because I'll tell you why, like, just to be truthful,
I will eat my feelings, you know. And I and it's not I'm
not like a salty person or so I don't necessarily really overeat meals. It's
just that any sweets that are in the house, I can't get enough.
Ye, so I will just eat and then once I'm eating sugar, it's
all bets are off. It's like all day. Like I'll wake up in
the morning and be like, oh, you know, it sounds good brownies,
you know whatever. I'll eat a little and I'll always tell myself it's
like any addiction. I'll be like, I'm not going to do that today.
Today, I'm gonna eat much. I'm gonna eat clean as soon as
I start to eat, you know, and then I always by the end
of the day or I'm out to dinner with a friend and they're like,
want to get dessert, and I'm like, hell, yeah, I know,
right. So when I'm off sugar, this is not to say that
I'm some freak like no fruit, no, like no no crackers, like
no. Of course, even I will eat oatmeal like that's maple flavored oatmeal.
It's I'm not crazy about that. I just can't don't eat anything that's
like dessert that right, that you would eat for dessert for that you don't
need to eat. So when you say sugar, you're not like you're not
talking about like red vines and nerds and candy. Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. You can't have any of that. But you're also talking about
dessert like cookies, candy, cake, ice cream, all of it.
I can't have any of that. So but to me, it's that's the
reason for that is not to be so hard on myself for all or nothing.
It's that those foods are just trigger foods. They're just I'm just gonna
I'm not going to be able to stop eating them if I start, And
I always tell myself I'm going to be able to I always think because you
start craving it after a while and you're like, ah, I'm being too
hard on myself, Like I'm sure I could eat just like a little bit
of candy. I never can. I am in my fifties. It's never
worked since I was a little kid. So at a certain point, I
just get sick of myself and I go like, no, I'm not going
to have it at all. But here's the thing. When it catches on
and I'm really like going for a while and I'm not doing that, I
start feeling better. It's not instant. It's not like, oh, like
I don't eat sweets. My god, I have so much energy and my
sex drive is great, Like it's not like bad. It's not a miracle.
It's just that I feel more in control and less like gross all the
time. Like I don't feel like by the end of the day. And
that's not also to say that I don't overeat sometimes and feel like I didn't
mean to eat all that, you know, ten pieces of bread. Sometimes
that happens. But so then I got back to going to the gym.
But I don't go to Berry's boot camp like I just go. I go
to the gym. I go on the pre cor machine. I do thirty
minutes. But I started at like a low level so I don't get super
tired or sweat up a storm. I'm really trying to be like a little
bit at a time. But it's working. And originally I was like,
this isn't going to work because I'm older now and it's harder to lose weight.
But it's been going really well. It's just slow and I don't weigh
myself. But I'm like, oh I once because the first time going back
to the gym was just like, oh my god, like I've lost all
muscle mass, you know, I can't lift a weight. So I was
like, you know what, I'm not going to be embarrassed. I'm gonna
like listen to a podcast and I'm gonna I'm just gonna make I don't care
if people are looking and I'm on the no weight on the machine, you
know what I mean. It's like embarrassing because I used to be able to
do more and I'm like, I don't want people to look and go like,
oh my god, she's not even just even haves the thing not to
still like ten pounds is like no weight at all. But I'm like,
you know what, that's okay, Like, no, I don't care,
I swear to godlin it. I'm starting to feel, like I've heard people
say, I'm starting to feel a little zero fox, a little bit like
yeah, well, it's nobody's business what I'm doing. I do do the
thing still where I make up a little story in my head about why I'm
not doing any weights, like I'm, you know, recovering from surgery or
whatever, and that I should be really patted on the back for like if
people knew the real story, which is like, hey, she just had
major back surgery. Look at her. She's rehabbing. You got to start
slow with these things. Okay, so none of that happened, and I
just gained weight during COVID. Fine. The point is nobody needs to know
why exactly I'm at zero. But so I've been working up real slow.
That's good. I went up only what I started at the pre COREP machine
on seven and I just recently went to eight and I was like super proud
of myself, and I I'm not in a rush. The pre Core machine.
Is that the that's the one that seems like you're like cross country skiing.
Yes, Like, isn't it elliptical? Elliptical? Yeah? But the
one with the arms with the arm is I think that it's called the pre
COREP machine. Yeah, but it's like an elliptical. Yeah. That okay,
that's the one I like, I go on there. I really set
my goal for myself as low, just get through thirty minutes. Yeah,
you know, I play little games on my phone. But anyway, the
more I do it without making myself stressed out like I have to have this
intense workout, the more I'm like, oh, I could go back in
two days and do that again. Yeah. So I've been trying to go
like every other day. That's good. And sometimes I miss one more day
and I don't. I'm not hard on myself. I'm not like, oh
god, yeah I miss two days, might as well never go again,
like which is how I used to be. Yeah, very like, oh
I've got it once. I'm working out. I got to take a cluck,
I got to do a zoomba, and I got to take classes and
I gotta, you know, be breathing so heavy. No, No,
I'm feeling good. That's good. It's good. But it's working because I'm
already like like, I already had to buy I bought there was this pair
of pants that I wore all the time, uh, and I had to
I bought it. I rebot them in a smaller size. Wow. Yes,
so you've lost some late I have, and it's because of I'm not
waste myself. But I'm exercising, Yes, exercising, and the no sugar
and the no sugar. Yeah. So I'm just like, like I said,
I eat whatever I want, but I'm just eating a bit less of
it. Right, I'm trying to be a little bit more mindful. But
I'm saying, you can really like half ass this shit. Yeah, you
can still get results, I know, Like it doesn't have to be oh
my god, I'm starving and I'm on a diet because you can't, right,
right, right, Yeah, I need to get into more of a
routine, routine, right, Like I'm like with like I'm at the house
with Italia and she wants to go to Berry's boot camp. I'll go,
okay, just because I feel guilty, you know, or yoga or something.
But like, I really like pilates and it's hard to find a pilates
that's like not booked up like constant. You know, every place is like,
oh, we'll see you next Tuesday, you know, at least it
is in my neighborhood. I feel like there's so many plates my neighborhood,
not around where I am, in both my neighborhoods, they're all like a
lot of them are booked. But I just and I feel again like I'm
not going to be flexible enough, Like I'm just gonna how am I going
to get through a pilates class if I'm not if I need to be,
I feel like I got to get stretched first, like I was talking about
the stretch lab right, So I just got to get back into a routine,
you know. And now It's like, oh, well now it's Thanksgiving.
Now it's the holiday, so wait, I'm you know, it's always
waiting until something else. It's got to get back into a routine. And
just like that. The problem is is I'm in two different places, you
know, out the week. You know, like I can go to the
YMCA in our neighborhood, which I like that because I can go at my
own pace. That's fine, But then what do I do when I'm at
you know, when I'm especially when I'm at my condo. That's when I
really want to start to when I really want to go and work out.
But then there's all these she she gyms in my neighborhood. I don't want
to join any of those gyms, so then my routine gets screwed up.
But whatever, I go to such a low rent gym LA Fitness, Yeah
that is like fitness there. I go. Yeah, that place, well
I used to. I feel like I told you guys about this, Like
years ago, there was one in my neighborhood and it was like downstairs and
it was so gross, like you could never not that I would ever take
a shower at the gym anyway, right, But like even if I wanted
to there is like they never cleaned the place, like it was disgusting.
Yeah, but it was really close. So it takes me like three minutes.
But now I have to drive a little a little bit. It's not
walking distance anymore, but it's it's cleaner, but it's still like it's not
a great gym now, I know, but it's fine, Like it gets
the job done, right, Hey, you know, yeah, go in
use this machine. Don't go when it's busy because I don't want to be
I don't want the weight to be like four deep for the you know the
machine one of those shoulder ones right right right, Yeah, we have the
twenty four hour fitness in my neighborhood, in the condo neighborhood. Oh but
I get like, there's not a gym in your condo. No, No,
do have a YMCA that's fairly close to you? You know that,
right, Yes, that's where I go to. Yeah, that's where I
go. Yeah, which is great when I'm there, but when i'm the
other place, you know, I mean you're at your condo, at my
condo. Yeah, there's a MCA that's close to you at my co Really,
it's on to hunga really for years, I'll tell you. Okay,

flames. Oh my god. Yeah, that freaking documentary is insanity crazy.
So I had listened to the podcast and loved the podcast, but just to
put the it, this is the kind of thing. It's not like dateline
where you can just listen and it doesn't matter. This is an important one
to see. You got large. Yeah, yeah, this is the Netflix
one. It's a Netflix documentary about these two people, Jeff and Shalia,
who started this cult. And this guy, Jeff is like a Donald Trump.
Right from the beginning, He's just like I want to make money,
right, He's like whatever, I'm gonna throw some shit against the wall and
see what sticks exactly. And he used his girlfriend to be like, oh
look at us, we're a great couple. Oh this is a good thing.
I could sell learn how to be a couple like us right from the
beginn get go. Have you seen this, Kalin? Oh, it's in
insanity right from the get go. They're like not getting any matches from these
people, right, None of these people are falling in love. No,
and it's lopsided because it's mostly women, right, so what do they do?
They like, as as these people are giving more and more of their
lives to this group and like this becomes their job and their whole life and
their social life and everything, he starts heat. But none of these people
are are getting okay, So first, a lot of these people are interested
in people in their lives, like they're coming to the twin flames universe is
what it's called. Because they're like I met this guy you know at work
or whatever, and like he says he's not ready for a relationship. So
they'd be like, that's your twin flame. You got to make that happen.
So they'd start stalking the guy, you know, right, do you
really are you really committed? Because if you are, go like travel across
the country and like go burn his house down, you know, And they'd
be like, oh, it doesn't seem like a road to success, but
yeah, Okay, okay, yeah, are you committed show him the uncan
business, you know. So they like so for one of those people it
worked, right, which was the girl the first girl I forgot her name.
Oh yeah that the curly yeah, curly hair girl curly. So she
goes, so she's like takes Jeff's advice and Sheliah and she goes and like
convinces this guy like you need to see this twin Flames stuff. So he
looks at it and he's like, oh cool, cool, yeah, I
see yeah, we I think you're right. Let's be together. So they're
together for a while. She starts to realize that like part of the twin
Flames thing is like you have to have sex with your twin flame if you're
the girl all the time whenever he went yeah on demand, just you have
to be constant sex. And she's like, m I mean, I'm not
allowed to not be in the mood ever AND's like nope, so now and
you need to do all the work. It's a very like misogynistic kind of
setup. Yeah okay, but let's get to the so. So then so
she's with this guy though for a really really long time, they don't feel
like they can break up with the person because they're gonna let everyone down in
the twin flames universe. Meanwhile, a lot of these people are not able
to be with their twin flame because their twin flame, right, yeah,
because it's illegal. How about the one woman who's like, Okay, so
I showed up at the same after he'd already taken out of her restrainerorner and
warned her and warned her. She goes to the nightclub nightclub for her birth
yeah, and she's like, no, it was a total coincidence exactly.
I was thinking that too, Like you just happen to show up. Yeah.
She's like, this is so weird. I know he has a restraining
order and now he's so mad at me, and like it's like I didn't
know he was going to be there. I don't follow him on social media
anymore. Right, then she gets thrown in jail. She goes to jail,
yes, stock or jail. Yeah. So some of these twin flames
are not working out, right, So they start telling them, oh,
your twin flame got some great news for you. This This might not seem
like the greatest news to you at first, but you're going to start to
see that it's good news. Your twin flame is somebody in the group already,
and it's in the same sec it's your best friend. Yeah, it's
your bff. That's your twin flame. So some of them. I love
the girl that was like, oh, hell no, I'm not gay,
and they're like, it doesn't matter. You don't have to be gay because
what you don't realize is your twin flame is actually a man. You have
masculine, masculine energy. Yeah, they're a masculine energy. Yes, so
you could be the female energy. Stay yourself. So the one girl was
just like, no, no, that's just no ma by so she leaves.
But but a lot of them and here's why they're already having this like
cult mentality, like oh, I guess the leader, my leader. My
god, Oh it's freaking jeff. I was like, by the way,
have you have you seen pictures of Jesus and you've seen pictures of me?
Yeah? Do you notice similarities? Long hair, abs for days, Like,
I know, it starts looking like Jesus. Right, He's like,
I'm Jesus. And people are like, okay, so you are sorry,
I know, can you I can't understand I don't understand. I don't get
it. I know it's a thing. I know people fall into cults,
But here's where my ass gets chapped. Yes, so he tells people that
you're really a man, and the people are like, oh, I mean,
that's weird because I've never felt like a man. I've never had thoughts
that I'm trans in my entire life. I've always I've always presented as female
and feel like a female. But you're telling me that I'm really a guy.
So some of them fight it a little bit, and they're like,
I don't want to change my name to a guy. I have to go
by pronouns and I have to change my name, like if you say so
to Dan, right, Okay, So now I'm Dan and I'm a man.
And then some of these people actually go through top surgery. And this
is where I get really upset, because then people conflate this by going like,
oh, you see parents are doing that to their kids. It's like
an agenda. Oh, these parents want their kids to be trans, and
they're they're putting this thought into their head and we're making them trans. Let
me just say that is not a thing. I know, and I know
they had a transgender activist on there trying to explain that that is not a
thing. Nobody wants anybody to be anything other than the gender that they feel
they are. Right, There's exactly a big difference between if your child comes
to you and says, this is how I feel. There's a big difference
between saying, like, hey, I respect how you feel. Let's get
you some therapy to make sure that that's what you feel and it's not some
some like because you're watching too much anime or because a bunch of your friends
I think they're trans. Let's make Nobody is going like, oh, are
great, let's do surgery, except for these peas, these lunatics they are,
don't you just want to punch that guy, right? I just hate
that guy so much. He's such a scumbag. Yeah, and he's filth
too, with her fucking sick and she's disgusting, you know, going along
with everything he says and ship it's just and then what's with the baby?
All of a sudden, then they get this twin flame. Oh my god,
I can't even watch why, Like, if you're gonna put two people
the same sex together in a relationship, they can have a baby. So
what are you doing flaunting the fact that you guys like it? Just it
seems kind of cruel, right, like look at us, we're gonna have
a baby, and it's like what about these, like some people in your
group probably want to have kids, and now you fucked it up like for
them because your brainwashed them. It's just just so gross and how are they
still Like to this day, where's these people are signing up for twin Flames?
TFU still sign it? I don't get it? Who is like hopefully
this documentary will make sense? I will go No, that's crazy. This
guy is also an asshole, like as nice. How about when he was
like, because the girl Shaliah like gained some weight, right, so you
see her from Oh what about the like crazy diet they put everybody on that
was just like pure like fat and carbs, and then everybody gained like fifty
pounds, right, And then he goes he's like, yeah, you know,
everybody thought, like you know, since my wife, you know,
she gained a bunch of weight and she got super overweight. But like you
know, you would have thought this is what he's saying. He's like,
you would have thought I wouldn't be attracted to her anymore now that she's really
fat being on the diet that I forget put her right, And he's like,
but like, no, it's not true. I'm like still attracted to
her. Oh congratulations. You know what kind of diet was that? Like,
hey, hogies, Like that's your diet? Who's listening to that?
Because Lily cheese steaks that those are those are that's what you should be on.
Right, Because he looks like Jesus and because his thing was this is
this is where he got it, he's like, well, some of the
women didn't feel like having sex all the time. So he's like, what
we're gonna do is we're gonna put you on a diet that's going to weigh
you did. We're going to put you on really heavy foods so that you
feel like grounded. Oh that's yeah, because there's nothing that makes me hornier
than like a HOGI And you know how everybody's just like fucking and sucking after
Thanksgiving dinner exactly. I know what it's like, makes no sense. And
at no point everybody's like yep, nor Line's detected here, right, But
yeah, wait, isn't anybody like hold on a minute, right, hold
on, and you don't when you know, when you're you don't feel sexy
when you've gained those extra rolls, like you got the muffin top right right?
Yeah, no, yeah, this is fuck yeah. They just were
like whatever stuck to the wall or whatever sticks is the direction they went.
It just kept getting worse. Like you, the documentary starts out and you're
like, okay, yeah, this guy's pretty bad, but as it goes
on, you're just like, what is happening? How are these people?
And now a bunch of these people are transgender and they're not even really transgender,
And I felt so I felt for these parents that are like, Okay,
I'm gonna try to use the correct pronouns, but it's like I understand
their pain because they're like my child. There were no signs right now.
I'm like, I think a lot of these people are like lost souls.
They are and then somebody tells them who they are what to be, and
they're like, okay, I guess you know better than I do, right,
And I think that they're lonely and they find a community where they become
friends. They're traveling together, they're meeting up at meetups, and stuff,
and they don't want to lose that. They get sucked in and they believe
more and more and they just get sucked in and it's really sad, and
these fucks should be put in jail. I know, how are they not
in jail. I don't understand. I don't get it. I guess you
could do have it if it's if it means spirituality, spirit spirituality. If
it means spirituality, why can't I say it? I used to not be
able to say specificity, specificity. I could say that spirituality, spirituality.
Why can't I say it? But if it means that, right, then
they can get away with it, I guess. I guess, So,
like what what is? There's not any laws that they've broken, and then
they just decided that they're a nonprofit so they can charge all these people,
these cons for all these consults, and they don't have to pay any taxes
because they got they decided they're a religion, right, and everybody's like cool,
cool, yeah, And they get free labor from from a lot of
these people too, ru right, they don't pay them. Wow, it's
insanity. I know, It's like, why can't he be put in jail?
They're going to be put in jail. But when it comes to our
meetups like FC, that's different. Yes, they are trying to get a
lot of people to change their genders, but that's just because we like people
that change things up, so we don't get bored. Caitlin, you should
grow your hair out because you could look like Jesus. You so could you
could? You got it? Jesus. Fine, you know what, I
don't think we ever said hi to our people. We got a little bit
