Thank you for having Thank you, Julie. If you're listening

Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of great posts about your episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. Wow, Wow, thanks for having missed you
missed you. I missed you so much.
Speaker 2: I was like thinking today, I'm like, I feel like
I haven't seen Stephanie in a long time.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to go in. Hey, yeah, do our show.
I know we said that on Patreon if anybody wants
to go on Patreon you you had a little more
in depth talk about some of the topics that we
have today. But we are That was our first show
that we recorded, so we already, like you know, we
already gushed over each other. Yeah, so you were gone
for a week. Yes, I was gone for a week.
Speaker 2: I left to Florida with Wendy and Suzanne, the three
of us. Suzanne wanted to plan this trip months ago.
She had a week off in October and she, you know,
never been to Florida. So she loves Wendy. We're like,
you know, sisters. We used to hang out all the time.
She has hung out with Wendy in a long time.
So we Wendy was here for a week with me
and my other nephew and his baby two year old,
and then the three of us flew to Florida on Saturday,
and we stayed Saturday to Saturday.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Suzanne flew out with you guys though the
three of us yea, yah, yeah, okay, all right, yeah,
they flew separately. Yes, Wendy stayed like an extra day
or Wendy.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm going to jump around.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 2: We were supposed to fly home on Saturday, and Wendy
was flying back to Chicago. Susanna and I were flying
together on Saturday around the state. We all were leaving
around the same time in the afternoon, two o'clock or
something on our way to the airport. And also we
have to take two planes, Susanna and I to get
to Florida to get to her house, so there's two
flights we have to stop in Houston. So we're on
our way to the airport. We get a text from
United there's a plane on a runway that's disabled, and
now our flight's delayed. Now our flight being delayed is
fucked because we have the second flight to catch. So
it was a little bit like, Okay, it's a little
bit delayed, We're still going to make our second flight.
And we get to the airport. The whole airport is
shut down and we don't know what time the next
our flight's going to leave. Now there's no guarantee that
it's going to leave at the right time.
Speaker 1: So now we're scrambling.
Speaker 2: So Wendy can't leave, We can't leave, and I already
checked my suitcase and they didn't yet. And then we
find the news out and then we're work like I'm
on the phone with United, She's on the phone with
the United.
Speaker 1: We're all on the phone trying.
Speaker 2: To rebook our trip to see if there's other flights
that day. There's not really anything to be able to
leave from anyway. Long story short, we had to leave
the next day. On Sunday. Suzanne left for first flight
out at like six am. Flight I was I was
on the phone, and she was telling the lady was
telling me that there's a three o'clock flight that you
can take through Denver instead of Houston. Blah blah blah.
I had a two hour lay away in Denver. I
didn't get home until twelve thirty last night. Yeah, I
had to sit in Denver for two hours, so there
was And then my suitcase was already checked and I
couldn't get it back from the day before, so I
left it at the airport, came back, got it the
next day, got on my flight. So all three of
us flew home separately, but we got home. I got
home yesterday. Olga stayed with Phil oh now Phil, but
she couldn't only stay until Saturday.
Speaker 1: So Phil also had to go to the vet.
Speaker 2: Last week Olda had to take because he was having
back his back issues again. Turns out he's got some
calcium build up in his discs in his back discs,
so they gave us medication for that. But I was
coming home and Olda was leaving, so luckily, by sheer
luck Natalia called me the night before and said, I'm
coming home on Saturday and I'm going to spend the
night Saturday to Tuesday because she's going to the Laker
game on Tuesdays, so she has Monday NOSK. Tuesday, her
teacher's mom passed away and said that he wasn't going
to be there, so she's luckily came home on Saturday
and was able to stay with Phil Saturday. Odd.
Speaker 1: I know, I got lucky. I screwed. I would have
been screwed.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't I have two other people that
are backups that could have jumped in to help with Phil,
but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so last minute.
Speaker 2: Would if they weren't available, I don't know, right, But
I got lucky that Natalia was coming home. But we
had a great trip. We went, you know, to the beach.
We went to the pool at.
Speaker 1: The Ritz Carlton.
Speaker 2: Wendy as a membership there at the Ritz Carlton, which
is near the house. We laughed. We watched The Golden Bachelor,
which was fun. So I'm caught up on that.
Speaker 1: I told I think I said on the last episode,
Well me, yeah, I think, I said. Lynette is in
her pajamas, was in our pajamas watching the Golden Bachelor,
and Julie was very happy for you. She's like, yes,
that's what she should be doing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and I got stoned nice. Yes, because Wendy
likes she has a pen that she likes. Suzanne does
not smoke bot never has.
Speaker 1: Never will.
Speaker 2: Her parents are hippie, so she's like turned off by it.
But watching the bat Golden Bachelor Stone was I haven't
gotten nine a long time. Was pretty funny, just like
just giggling our asses off. Then we got caught up
on Love Is Blind and we watched that. So we
had a lot of like girls time and our pajamas,
watching our shows at night, went out to dinner, Wendy
made dinner a bunch of nights, went out to dinner
a couple of nights and just like went you know,
hung out by the pool, went to the poll and
we had a really nice It was a really nice trip.
I would say there was some things I have to
look at my notes. But on my way home last
night at the airport, so this is weird. So when
Wendy flew in to Los Angeles a week earlier to
my house, she okay, we both Last time I was
with her a while ago, like a year ago, we
bought these like jumps. They're like cute jumpsuits. I think
you get them at tree Free People or whatever. They're
just like one long jumpsuit kind of thing, and they're
so comfy. They're like wearing a big baggy jumpsuit with
big pockets, and they're good to travel in. Wendy and
I traveled matching not the same color, but we were
wearing a matching ones when we first got him. Anyway,
she comes to my house, She's wearing her light gray one.
She's got tomato juice spilled all down her leg thanks
to her grandson who spilled it on the plane last night.
Speaker 1: I'm coming on the first flight.
Speaker 2: I'm on an hour into the flight and I got
a bloody mary and the flight attendant spilled it all
down my leg.
Speaker 1: It looked like I threw up on myself.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, And I still had another two hours
at the Houston airport, at the Denver Airport, and then
another three hour flight to get home. And I'm just
like an hour into the first light and I look
like I just looked like like I got thrown thrown
up on. It was bad that happened, but trying to
think what else happened during the week. You know, we
we went out and you know, just it was it
was the Dodgers that week, there was a lot of
Dodger games.
Speaker 1: Susanne's a huge Dodger fan.
Speaker 2: Wendy's friend came around and we watched the Dodger game.
We went out and watched the Dodger game, and uh,
you know, it was fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was a.
Speaker 2: Really nice time the three of us. It was relaxing, yeah,
for sure. And Suzanne had a great time and she
would go back again for sure.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, yeah, and it's good to see Wendy. Yes,
it's always good to see Wendy here. She's your family.
I know, I know, I miss I missed.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been surrounded by family for like the
last month pretty much, and then going to Florida. Now
it's now well now inn Italia's home until Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But other than that, yeah, oh, and then now you're
gonna have to kind of like be alone for a
little while. I know, I'm kind of looking forward to it, right. Yeah.
I was going to say, now you can decompress for
like a month, but then it'll be like Thanksgiving, and
then as soon as Thanksgivings done in like I can't
believe it will be like the winter break. Guy, I
know I can't believe the holidays. You have both kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So I mean I wrote some stuff I can't other
stories will. Uh let me see. Went to the pool.
Nothing really like out of the ordinary on our trip.
Just really nice, relaxing week.
Speaker 1: I've had a pretty eventful week. Yeah, what's going on? Well,
the main thing that I was good that I think
everybody's waiting for me to talk. Well, I say everybody,
the people on Facebook. Yeah, remember a couple of weeks
ago that I was saying, and I'm gonna be very
honest here. I'm not promoting any product. I'm just telling
you my story. Yeah, but remember a few weeks ago,
I was like, I don't know, I know, I don't
have like that much weight to lose, but like the
sugar noise and the i've and I and postmenopause and like,
I would just love to lose like fifteen pounds, you know,
ten fifteen pounds. And then I told you that the
response from everybody was like really positive, you know, right,
nobody was judging me and going that's insane, that's ridiculous.
Like people were like, oh my god, I love glp ones.
It's changed my life. And then remember I was telling
you I think that I could get some bootleg. Yes
it's not really bootleg, but it's like, you know whatever.
I have a friend one that starts with an R, right,
and that you know, she does it like in the
parking lot of a Whole Foods and she gives it
to you and then she'll shoot you up with it,
and like it all sounded fine to me. You know,
I'm up for an adventure, yes, But then I had
looked up the side effects to the one that she had,
and I said it can cause anxiety because it's a
strong one. It works on three receptors. Okay, so not
that you ever need to care about this, but the
semi glue tide, which is like ozembic, works on one receptor.
Then chrzeppetide works on two receptors, and then there's this
one that starts with an R. We don't need to
worry about it. But anyway, after doing some research, I
was like, I think I really want the chrzepetide because
that has the lowest incidence of side effects. So somebody
from our group on our Facebook gave me the name
of somebody who sends it to who's pretty inexpensive. I'll
just tell you how much it is. It's one twenty
five or ten milligrams, which for a starting dose is
like will last you like over a month a month?
Ok okay? So how much does it normally go for it?
I don't know, And I sure people get it insurance,
but a lot of people can't get it covered by
their insurance, right. And then I think people are paying
like between like two and four hundred dollars a month
for it. Okay, so this is pretty cheap. And then
she has like you can get thirty milligrams for two
hundred and thirty five dollars. But so I went back
and forth with this woman. She was super nice. She
makes it clear that she's not a doctor or a
nurser a medical professional, but she's it's similar to one
of those wellness you can get it, okay, and she anyway,
I was like, screw it, I'm gonna try this. I'll
be the guinea pig. I'll try it for all you don't.
Speaker 2: So I guess you don't have to like see a
doctor first. No interesting to see a doctor, Okay.
Speaker 1: None of these places make you see a doctor. I
have like a doctor in their thing. Yeah, a lot
of these things, even stuff that we do, like a
lot of ad thanks for. I mean, what did doctors
do anyway? These guys really okay, asked doctor knackerau. I know,
I know. Well, so my friend who gave me doctor
knock around in the first place, she asked him about
GLP once and he was like, love them. Oh yeah,
they're great. I've seen so many people like do great
on them and they help, you know, not just lose weight,
but they decrease inflammation and get your sugar balanced. And
you know, he's like, I'm a fan. Okay, So I
had that in my mind. Okay, anyway, so I ordered
the stuff. So last week we recorded on Monday and
then I want to say, Tuesday evening. I was like,
screw it, I'm going to do it. So I ordered
it from her and I already had it on Thursday
Thursday in the mail. I got the stuff, okay, and
I was oh, and I broke the news to John
that I was going to do it. And John is
like there, very nervous about stuff like this. He always
has been. He's very paranoid and he's just a warrior,
which is kind of cute. You know, of course somebody
to be overprotective rather than underprotected, like.
Speaker 2: Of course, but we a know John like he likes
to do his research a lot about.
Speaker 1: Things, which is so that's what he said. He was like, Okay, well,
I'm going to do some research. And I was like, well, meanwhile,
I already bought it, you know, and he's like, I
need to do my research. I need to see what
the side effects are. In my mind, I was just like,
it doesn't really matter because I'm going to try a
really low dose. Okay. So a starting dose on GLP
ones is on terzeppetite is two point five milligrams, but
I'm paranoid. And the woman told me that she only
took one milligram. Okay. The woman who sent it to
me was like, I do fine on one. She's like,
the highest I've gone is this is like half of
a starting dose. So and everything I've read it is like,
you're not even the two point five intro intro dose
doesn't really do anything yet. It takes a couple of
weeks for you to start seeing the effect. Okay, Okay,
so I get this stuff. I'm like, you know what,
fuck it, I'm just going to do it so I
have something to talk about on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what the side effects of this one is anxiety?
Speaker 1: No? No, not of the one that I took. Okay,
of this other one that starts with an R, like, ok,
let's just call it like rezupitude and I forgot what
it's called. It doesn't matter because I'm not taking that one.
But that's the one that I originally started making me
think because my friend was like, you should try it.
I can get you hooked up to this one. That
one can cause anxiety. I was like, if anyone's going
to get an anxiety side effect, it's going to be me. Yeah.
So I didn't want to do it. Okay, so I
get the stuff. I put John out of my head.
They send you syringes and there's needles, and I was
just like, you know what, fuck it, I'm going to
be badass and gonna I'm gonna do it. I'm doing it.
And I was only going to do two, which is
less than a regular starting dose. So Thursday night, I
give myself the injection. It was super easy. It did
not hurt at all. I didn't feel it of course,
I was super nervous about it. Hands are sweating. I
put on like some music, yeah, and I was like,
I got myself psyched up. Also though, like I've had
to give Sadie shots for years. Sadie did shots every
single day for seven years, and I got real good
at like sticking her with it. She always said it
doesn't hurt, right, Okay. Also Xander does injections, he says
it doesn't hurt. So I was like, Okay, don't be
a baby, you can do this. I did it. It
didn't hurt. I was so proud of myself. I was like,
hi as a kite, all excited, Lynette, when I tell
you that by the next day, I could not eat,
and you would think that that's good, right, you would
be like it was already working. And I wasn't sick.
I haven't had a lot of nausea, but uh, I
couldn't eat. I couldn't eat. The thought of food was
like disgusting. What I was hoping for was like just
to take the edge off, just to make me go like, oh,
I'm gonna stop eating when I'm full, instead of like,
oh this tastes good, let's have seconds. That's what I
was hoping, and the sugar stuff too, sugar, sugar, which
I had already been off sugar at that point for
a couple of weeks. So in my mind, I'm like,
I just want to keep that going, because usually with me,
the sugar voice starts talking to me even if I've
been off of it for a while, and starts telling
me it's very similar to alcohol, where it's just like,
you know, you could have a little bit of chocolate.
This is ridiculous. You know, you're depriving yourself, and what
happened when we deprive ourselves we end up binging. So
you should just have like a little bit of sugar, right,
you can do it. And that's what the voice says,
and that is not true. It lies to me because
the second I eat some sugar, I'm like, oh my god,
that is so good. And now I think of all
the sugar in the world that I want to eat, right,
and I'm like, you know what I need to do.
I need to go to the mall and get missus
Field's cookies. I need, my god, I need to bake cookies.
I need to bake a dozen cookies, and then I
need to eat the cookie. I mean, it's like my
brain goes crazy. Yeah, I'm a full attic. So what
I was hoping for.
Speaker 2: We ate a lot of sweets in Florida because I
was surrounded by sweet craving women. And Wendy whips up
whipped cream like it's like, not no problem, no problem. Odd,
we WoT like a carrot cake at the store and
she just goes in the kitchen. She's rattling the pots
and pan. She gets the thing out and she just
made homemade whip cream. Like what how do you do that?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Yeah, but you don't have that sugar, that thing
that I have. No, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2: I have other stuff. I like salty, I like. I mean,
I ate so much. When I was there, I ate
a lot, just because you know, when you're hanging out
with your friends and your new pajamas. I was like,
what other snacks you got? You just want to you know,
I ate a lot.
Speaker 1: So, you know, you know, speaking of like that compulsive thing, Yes,
we have a sponsor that can help with that. It's
called no CD, which is like OCD but no CD.
And this is so apropos for what we're talking about.
The like, if you've ever felt like your brain was
playing the same horrible scene over and over. These are
like intrusive thoughts, right, stuff you can't get out of
your head. Could be like your kid getting sick, your
marriage falling apart, or it could be like how much
you're you need to eat sugar? You know, right, thoughts
are so real. Usually it's the dark thoughts that are
the most like troubling to people. But these behaviors can
actually be symptoms of OCD, and OCD is very misunderstood
because real OCD involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts and physical or
mental behaviors you do to try to make that distress
go away. But no CD is the world's leading provider
of OCD treatment and all their licensed therapists specialize in
ERP for exposure and response prevention. Is this similar to
what LB did when she will? Yeah? And therapy with
no CD is covered by insurance for over one hundred
and fifty five million Americans, and they provide support between sessions,
so you're never facing OCD alone. If any of this
sounds familiar, go to NOCD dot com and book a
free call with their team. That's NOOCD dot com and
if you go to the our episode and you look
in the description, there's actually a link so that we
will get credit. Nice, Yeah, don't just go there and
then because then you know, right then we don't get credit.
Go click on the link. Go to our go to
the episode description and click on the link. So anyway,
that's what I was hoping for, right And I have
to say, I'm not so Thursday night, I took it, Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. All day long, I could I couldn't eat,
I mean, and I had to eat. I was like,
not how I want to lose weight. I don't want
to lose weight through like fasting. I want to be
able to eat. And did you eat at all? I did, okay,
But this is what it would be like. I'd be like, okay,
I have to eat some protein. So like I scrambled
a couple eggs and then I tried to eat them,
and like I put salt on them and pepper, and
then I ate like half of it. But then I just,
I mean, I didn't make myself eat like one more bite.
And you had such a small dose, such a small dose.
And then I went to the gym. I went to
the gym two times, and usually when I go to
the gym, I get like starving at night. I went
to the gym, I came home, I couldn't eat. I
was like, oh, okay. I tried to eat this little
snack pack that had some hummus and like Piita crackers.
I had like a few dips of it, and I
was like I can't. Wow, And I know that sounds great,
but when you're like I need to eat to live
and have energy and I can't, it's like, I guess
I know what it's like now to sort of remember
when I told you that years ago. I was on
Zoloft and I was on a high dose and I
wasn't hungry. Well, I didn't even notice. I wasn't hungry.
I just lost weight because I wasn't feeling like eating.
But I wasn't like, oh my god, food sounds disgusting.
I was like, let me order a bagel. Oh, I
ate half of it and I'm not that hungry. Let
me give the other half to John. Right. I was like,
I'm just suddenly like more of a light eater. Yeah.
This was like pronounced not pleasant, like wow, can not eat.
I can't force food into my mouth. So did you
have energy when you were working out and stuff or
you know, no, not good energy. I had to take
a couple of breaks. So here's where I'm at today.
I feel like right now, I feel slightly better, Like
I feel like I feel like I could force myself
to eat a little bit. But it's already Monday afternoon.
Speaker 2: So you haven't really eaten that much in the last
few days, really, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. I don't like the feeling. So
I think if I do it again, I might try
to wait till it wears all the way off, and
then if I do it again, I might take like
a tiny dose. I looked it up on Reddit. Of course.
I started googling as anyone had an extreme reaction to
a very small dose, and other people have of course, right,
and one of them is just a severe like aversion
to eating. Wow, I'm not enjoying it. I thought it
was going to be like not that noticeable, like oh
suddenly I'm just like not really eating that much, right,
not like I can't eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've had friends and stuff that I've
on it, and I have heard some people like I
just can't eat it just but then they stuck with it,
I think, and it kind of evens out.
Speaker 1: So that's way here and my I have a couple
of friends on it too, but they were like, I
don't remember it being that severe. I just remember I
remember being able to eat fine. I just had an
appetite for like healthier food, and I just didn't want
to I just didn't have a strong appetite. But this
is beyond really, this is like I can't put any
food in my mouth. So yeah, and then I tried
to eat I'd made some like microwave pancakes and for protein,
I like tried to put some peanut butter on it,
and I could eat a little bit of it, but
not enough to like sustain energy. How are you feeling now?
I mean, I feel okay, I feel like I'm not
like I just you know what it is. I don't
feel one hundred percent like myself. Yeah, I feel like
a little bit sort of like out of body. Right.
It's hard to explain. And I don't know if that's
the medication or that's just like not eating enough right,
because I haven't eaten almost anything Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Really Yeah, but I'm not, but I have heard other
people that love it and are so happy on it,
and I think I'm just super sensitive to medication, and
I think that I could, like I said, if I
do it again, I'm going to take like a microdose
like either maybe even less than one milligram. Aren't they
micro I hear that. I think I've.
Speaker 2: Heard somebody talking about how they can do microdosing with
those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can, so you not? So did you stop?
You're gonna you're You're I'm wondering if it's because I'm
not like it's enough overweight, so like my body weight
is already you know, I'm not like skinny or anything obviously,
or I wouldn't be taking it. But you know, like
I said, I weigh like I weigh like one enough
that I would want to lose like fifteen pounds, but
maybe not enough to take on the dose that is
normally given to people when they're starting out from a
heavier weight. Right, It's all I can think of. That's crazy.
I think I need a teeny tiny dose or I'm
not going to do it.
Speaker 2: Why don't you go see doctor knock around and have
see what he says about it? Maybe I might do
that and then he can like take your blood and
I maybe I'll know of a better I think you
need to see the doctor. That's my personal thing, yeah,
instead of somebody sewn thinks, because you know, now John's
all over my shit.
Speaker 1: He's just like, how do you feel? How do you feel? Now?
Are you able to eat? And I'm like and then
he's so disappointed. He was going to go get Panda
Express for the kids last night and he was like,
I'm gonna get you Panda Express and I was like,
I'm not gonna I can't eat it. Oh my gosh.
I couldn't even imagine having one bite. That's not good.
I know, no. And now it's too late because it's injected.
So now I gotta wait. You gotta wait by Wednesday,
in two days, I should be So how often are
you supposed to get those? And once a week? Once
a week. So I'm thinking if I took it Thursday night,
at least by Thursday morning, If not by like Wednesday,
I should it should be worn off. Oh my god,
what if you never get your appetite back? Well, that's fine,
I mean, what about like a smoothie or something? I
know I'm thinking throte that way. Yeah, I'm gonna try that.
Pan Express sounds so good right now. I know right,
it doesn't sound good to you. You know I love
Panda Express. No, I can't think of any food I
want to eat. Wow. Wow, but I am me too much.
So listen, if you guys DM me, I will give
you this Lady's I have given it to so many
people because I posted it on Facebook and I promised
I would be honest and tell you guys about my journey, my.
Speaker 2: Churzette, the tea journey, the tea journey. Yeah, well, thank
you for doing that. Taking one for the team.
Speaker 1: I hate to disappoint people that like I just think
I took too much for me. Yeah, I'm hoping that
at an maybe if you've had experience with this, please
let me know, because I'm I'm hoping that at a
tinier dose I have like what I had with when
I was taking accidentally taking too much.
Speaker 2: So off or maybe you're on the wrong one because
there's a couple different ones.
Speaker 1: The other ones have much worse side effects most people,
a lot of people can't even handle the other ones. Wow,
you've heard of people getting like super sick off o zempic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, and then when you stop, don't you
gain weight right back?
Speaker 1: I guess, but I guess. But you know what I
think that is is that like your appetite comes back,
and people haven't changed their eating, you know, if you
my thinking is if my whole my whole idea was
to just really get far away from having eaten sugar, right,
but I'm just super used to it. I don't know,
I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: I feel like I need it now because I feel
like I've gained ten pounds on this triits well. I mean,
I was thinking about it, like I don't eat very
much when I'm at home by myself, so I'll just
have like some breakfast in the morning and then like
I have like a tea. I love the tuna noodle
casseroles by Stofers.
Speaker 1: I love those, And I was.
Speaker 2: Eating them when Wendy was in town, and she was
like that why She's like, you love why you eat?
Speaker 1: I could eat them every day? So she tasted it.
She say, like a frozen.
Speaker 2: They're frozen, and it's a tuna noodle casserole, Okay, And
it tastes to me like it's a home cooked to
when a noodle. It's very satisfying. It's just a little
TV dinner whatever, Okay, but.
Speaker 1: It's enough for me. And then so I was eating.
Speaker 2: It and I loved it. She tasted it, she didn't
like it. Now I got my nephew's wife. She's buying
it like it's going out of style, and he and
my my and their son, the two year old loves it.
So anyway, I just don't eat that much, but this
trip I ate so much.
Speaker 1: And it's like it because you were like eating out
all the time. It's just different. You know.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, maybe because I was smoking pot too,
but that's got something to do with it. It's just you know,
when you're like on a vacage, you're somewhere else. It's
somebody else's house, and there's like there's snacks in the
fridge and there, you know, just like salty.
Speaker 1: I love salty stuff. I ate so much. Chips. I
ate so much Piita chips. I made.
Speaker 2: I made a little dip that I always make at home,
which is sour cream with olive oil, salt and pepper,
sometimes a little hot sauce with it. And I just
eat that like sometimes for dinner with Peeda chips, but
I ate a lot of that kind of stuff. And
then yeah, going out to eat, I just I mean
sharing food and getting it. Was just a lot, a
lot of a lot of eating on this trip. But
but yeah, I don't when I'm alone.
Speaker 1: I don't really eat that much at home. But you know,
it's so funny how different how people's bodies are different,
because I have never cared that much about salty. Really.
My other podcast co host, Cecily, is the same way.
She's like, I can't keep chips in my house. Like
I'll promise myself I'm going to buy a big bag
of chips and you know, have it for the week,
but I eat it all in one day. And I'm like,
I if there's a bag of chips in my house,
I'll either never eat it or that's how I am.
Like a couple of chips and like not want it again.
Speaker 2: See we're salty and sweet. That's how I am. With sweets.
I could have tons of sweets in my house and
nt you know. And Suzanne and Wendy love sweets and
you know, so they were like, what is there any
more ice cream?
Speaker 1: Sandwiches? Left.
Speaker 2: You know, there was always you know what, uh then
she got the carrot cake with the whipped cream, and
then you know, like what else. We got a pie,
We had kiche, We had a lot of there's a
keiche place up the street. The food in her neighborhood
is just delicious. But yeah, I'm not that. I just
I'm not that kind of I like salty. I like, uh,
I love salty. I sit in my room sometimes I
eat chips. I get one to fill one to me,
one to fill one to me.
Speaker 1: So I got people loves chips. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
So but you know, like my favorite food, I'm going
to try to think of a couple of my favorite
foods to make myself like want food. My favorite food
is seafood, which by nature is kind of salty. Right,
So I don't know what it is why I don't
like like chips, But I mean because I could eat
like oysters, sushi and oh my god, like lobster tail
forget about it. That's like my favorite food in the
whole world. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: We had crab meat, you know, not the shrimp cocktail,
but crab meat cocktail, which was like real crab meat.
It was delicious. It was so good and I love that.
I love seafood too. And Suzanne can't have shellfish. Oh
really now she used to, but she got highly allergic
to it in her adult life.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know. Isn't that horrible. I couldn't
spend any time with her.
Speaker 2: It was hard because Wendy and I are always like,
let's get it. She likes sushi, she can eat some
of it. But we were always, you know, everywhere we
went there's like seafood the best catch, you know. But
she can eat seafood, she just can't have the shellfish.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I mean, I really think
that you should go see doctor knock around. Yeah I will.
I mean, I just think that my metabolism, you know.
Well listen, I was about to like blame it on
my metabolism. But like, prior to a couple of weeks ago,
when I got off sugar again, I was eating so
much I was I'm just gonna tell on myself. I'll
give you an example. I would go to like Trader
Joe's and I would get a little container of those
dark chocolate mint candies and I would bring them home,
Like in my mind I'm like, oh, the whole family
likes to eat those, you know, Xander and Sadie like
and put them in the freezer. You know, have a
couple now, and then I'd eat the whole thing and
to the point where, you know, the kids would go like,
oh my god, what happened to like the chocolate mints?
And I'd be like, oh my god, I don't know.
I guess you guys ate them, and they'd both be like, mom,
we didn't. Like Xander would go like I literally had one.
What happened? Oh my god. I'd feel ashamed, and then
I'd go like, Okay, I'm going to go get some more.
And then when i'm doing it, I'd be like like
should I buy two? Because I know my and I'll
end up eating one. But then I'd be like, no,
I'm not going to do it this time. I just
get it and let the kids eat it. And then
I'd eat it again. But you've been off sugar for
a few weeks, so now for a few weeks. But
I'm saying, prior to me kind of hitting another bottom,
it was all day long. And then I'd buy like
some I mean, like jelly beat, like I eat candy
like a nine year old, you know, like I want
like straight candy, Like if I could just eat lemonheads
and like red hots, like candy of my youth, like
I'd eat it all day. I never I never get
like sick of it. Really, I'd have to eat a
lot of it to feel like, Oh you like lemonheads, huh.
I love like sour candy so much. I do too.
And then I was like, I'm really craving. I do
this game in my head where I go, you know
what I should do. I should just be pickier about
the candy I buy, so that I'm just eating a
little bit of something that I actually really like instead
of just like eating cookies because they're in So then
I bought myself through Amazon saltwater taffy.
Speaker 2: Ooh.
Speaker 1: I ate the entire bag of it in like two days.
What I just binge. I'll just sit there and I'll
grab a couple and I'll be like, I'm just gonna
have a couple and save them, and then I'm watching
TV and then I just start eating more and more.
It's like out of control. Wow, Oh my gosh. Wow.
Somebody sent me a video one of our listeners about
from this woman, who, by the way, was super skinny,
so fuck her for having an opinion about She was like, look,
I want to say this, there's no such thing as
sugar addiction. I think this was like to make me
feel better. But she was like, the problem with the
problem is it's the messages that we tell ourselves, Like
so when you eat sweets, you're like, oh my god,
I'm being bad, like I shouldn't have this, and that
creates like, I don't know, like a dysmorphic like you know,
but the actually eating sugar is not addictive. And I
was like, you bitch, don't know what you're talking about.
You're not a doctor. It is. I'll tell you that
it's addictive because when there's something that you can't stop doing.
I was never physically addicted to alcohol, didn't have to
go to detox, I didn't have like I did not
get the shakes when I got drinking. But it is
still addictive. Yes, yeah, when there's something that you're doing
that you cannot stop doing once you start, that's also addiction.
So I don't know what lands that's never helped me
to be like, I'm just gonna let myself enjoy sugar,
and I'm not going to put a label on it
and make it beatter good. I'm right, you enjoy it, No,
I can't.
Speaker 2: Isn't a jpls though, I mean we talked GPL things, aren't.
Speaker 1: They're good. They're good for the addictive stuff, right, Yes,
they help people, like they help people with alcohol addiction.
They can help with a lot of things. So I don't.
I am not popooing the gl Yeah, I'm saying they
seem to be helping a ton of people. And I
know tons of people take it with like no side effects.
Speaker 2: Yeah that sucks for you. You have to eat stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think it's all I honestly feel like it's
a little bit starting to ebb already, Like talking about
food is making me actually a little bit hungry. Oh
so you've maybe I don't know, I really do think
you should go to see doctor. Doctor knock around. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I will. You know what, I'll make an appointment mm
hmm uh I need one anyway. And I had my colonoscopy,
so I they said, as soon as you have your colonoscopy,
like make your physical appointment.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to do that. I need to make
my conspointment. I know, I know, I know, I know.
Now I got to go back on Facebook and find
the girl that suggested a doctor near me.
Speaker 1: I'm just dreading it on I can do a search
on Facebook because I think I can find it. Yeah, Okay,
so I'll text you, okay, mind you, we'll find it. Yeah.
So what was the other thing I was going to
tell you? I had a lot of adventures. Have you
noticed that traffic has just been insane in Los Angeles? Oh?
You haven't been here. I haven't been here. Why so
Saturday night because the four or five is closed on
the weekends. Now it is. I think that's part of
what's causing it. Oh, now, so every place you want
to go, even on a Sunday night, is an hour really. Yeah,
So the kids on Saturday asked if I would drive
them to Dockwiler Beach. Oh, where is that down there? No,
it's in Plia del Rey. So it's it's like a
little bit south of Marina Delray. Yeah. So I was like,
of course, you have no problem. I don't know if
they were like thinking they were and have a beer.
I don't know. I know Xander wasn't, but I wasn't
sure what the reason was, but I'm so glad I
did because it was horrible traffic. I would have lost CD.
Yeah really far. It took like an hour and ten
minutes to get there. Wow. So they were going for
a senior sunset. Oh bonfiery thing, they're gonna do a bonfire.
I was literally in my mind going I bought them
a bunch of stuff for some wars and I was
in the buying the stuff and I was like, oh,
that's good for you. But now I'm like maybe it
was kind of good. So I'm feeling better. Okay, good.
So I drive them down there and it took us
an hour and ten minutes, and now I'm like, what
don't what if they only want to stay?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Well, how Usually I was just going to drop them off.
I was going to drop them off and then John
was going to come go get but it was a
Saturday night, so I was thinking it was going to
take like forty minutes and then I would come home
and then John would go like in an hour. But
then when I was down there, I'm like, Okay, this
took an hour and ten minutes and it's going to
take me an hour to get home at this time.
So I was like, maybe I should just wait here.
Now understand, I'm just wearing like a T shirt and sweats.
I'm not dressed like I could go somewherely and hang out.
As you know, I don't want to eat anything. Yeah,
Like I didn't go to a local restaurant. I'm not
going to be able to order any food. I don't
know if you've ever been in this situation, but I
was like, okay. So then I'm texting with John and
he's like, just come home and I'll just go get him.
I was like, I don't think you understand how bad
the traffic is. Like it's going to take you over
an hour. They're going to have to give you an
hour notice. So I was like, you know what, I'm
just going to stay. So I was parked in a
parking lot. I got out, I took a couple of
pictures of the sunset, got back in my car. I
listened to to UH, I listened to a podcast. I
listened to Mark Maren What the fuck the episode where
jud Appatoo came in for two hours wow and did
like a bunch of old clips and then they talked
about them. Oh, that's so cool, right, So I was like, okay,
I've got something to listen to for two hours. Yeah,
they do like no ads and then luckily here's the
good news, so I would I texted Sadie and Xander
and I was like, just how long do you think
you're gonna want to stay? And it took them a
while to even see the text, and then I finally
Xander wrote me back it had been like an hour,
and I said like, it's totally cool. I'm fine, like
I can wait another hour. And he goes, oh my god,
you're still here, and I said yeah, and he goes,
that's kind of good because low key we want to
leave a nice yes. So I was like, oh my god,
great that's us. That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know when you got to find something that
So when I was gonna be traveling, I'm like, I
always end up watching because these flights are long, right,
I always end up watching something on my phone. So
I got my old iPad, dusted it off. I'm like,
I'm gonna have my iPad. I tried to connect the
cellular to it, and you know with technology, it's like
you go to the cellular ad.
Speaker 1: I want to add cellular to it.
Speaker 2: I go through all the steps and it's like, can't
accommodate you at this time.
Speaker 1: So now I'm like, what's the point then? What? Like?
Why then? Now? What? Now? What do I do to argue? No?
Speaker 2: It was it was the I updated it and everything
had downloaded the update and everything. It was fine. It's
just it wasn't going to accommodate. But then I'm like, well,
wait a second. Netflix you can watch without Wi Fi
and cellular on the plane.
Speaker 1: You can download. So I did.
Speaker 2: I downloaded a bunch of stuff, which we can talk
about on Friday.
Speaker 1: Did you see The Perfect Neighbor? I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 2: Oh it looks sad. I was crying my eyes out
on the plane. I started crying.
Speaker 1: It was. I watched it on the plane last night.
And by the way, it's.
Speaker 2: Shot through all you know police foot like, it's all
it's all. It's an hour and a half doc on
Netflix and it's shot through you know, police camera footage
and stuff.
Speaker 1: I heard. There's no narration. No, no, no, it was
really well done, except I didn't realize it until later.
I could barely see it was very dark.
Speaker 2: And then when I watched something else that was dark too,
So then I'm like, wait a second, my thing was
all the way down.
Speaker 1: The brightness was all the way down. So I watched
this thing. I like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: I wish I would have known now. I'm like, I
want to go back and look at because I could
barely see the people they're talking to. It was like
all in the dark. Anyway, it's really really sad. You
should watch it and then we can talk about it.
But yeah, so then anyway, I downloaded a bunch of
stuff and at work, thank god, because I was on
the plane for a long time last night, and I
started and we'll talk about the stuff I watched. But
that one is a tough documentary to watch, and it's
going to make you angry and really sad.
Speaker 1: It breaks its heartbreaking. Yeah, is that lady in jail? No,
she's not right. You let me tell you. I wanted
to know and I couldn't.
Speaker 2: On the before I finished it, I was like, I
want to know what happens to her, because if nothing,
I'm going to be pissed.
Speaker 1: Nothing she went to jail.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's good. I mean it's sad,
but yeah, so did you hear about uh what's her name? Uh?
Zach Dax Shepherd and Kristen Bell what today like they're
getting canceled because of some tweet that she put out
and I think I have it.
Speaker 1: I don't have my glasses on.
Speaker 2: But she put out a tweet about their anniversary or.
Speaker 1: A post and she's and dateline.
Speaker 2: I guess liked it because she said something about I
can't believe you didn't hear about this. Dateline commented, let's see.
Speaker 1: There was a photo.
Speaker 2: She put a photo Happy twelfth wedding anniversary to the
man who once said to me, I would never kill you.
A lot of men have killed their wives at a
certain point, even though I'm heavily incentivized to. Even though
I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.
Speaker 1: So wait, he said that.
Speaker 2: She put out. Yes, she put out. Bell wrote happy
twelfth and no, she wrote it. She wrote, happy twelfth
wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me
I would never kill you. A lot of men have
killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm
heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would. So there's
a lot of issues with that, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I mean, yeah, you know, I mean they're obviously
trying to be funny.
Speaker 2: But but you know, of course it's going to be
it's you know, you gotta it's sensitive.
Speaker 1: It's a sensitive topic. Yeah. And the fact that like
dateline like screens.
Speaker 2: So anyway, there's like all this stuff about canceling Kristen Bell.
Speaker 1: Wow, and now Dox can be like, see fucking cancel culture,
right because I'm going to say this and whatever. People
can think what they want. But like, I have not
been a fan of Doc Shepherd over me. Neither have
we talked about it. No, I hate that guy. Oh
my god, I have felt so alone. We have not
talked about this.
Speaker 2: First of all, I've met him before, and he's a douche.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. He's a big douchebag.
Speaker 2: And he thinks he's like and Adam had a little
bit of an interaction with him, like Agius was a dick.
Speaker 1: He's a dick.
Speaker 2: He thinks he's hot shit because he's married to you know,
Kristin Bell. I don't think he's talented. I don't think
he's attractive. I don't like him at all.
Speaker 1: See and I used to like him like in Parenthood. Oh,
I never watched that. Okay, so I watched that, and
I did like him, and I always kind of felt like,
you know, I sort of feel like I get him.
He's sober, he's been sober a long time. You know.
Then and whatever, you guys can judge me all you
want to for judging this, but you know, then he
lost his sobriety and he was taking opiates again and
not telling anybody, and then I think his producer whatever
started to suspect and like, I don't know, it was
mentioned to him. He basically got busted. So then he
came clean on an episode of his show, which people loved,
and they're like, oh my god. He was so vulnerable
and he talked about you know, and no shade to
anybody who has relapses, like it happens, and addicts definitely
feel like they need to lie about it, especially if
you're a public figure who's like known for being sober.
I can totally see how that would happen. But this
is a guy who does lecture a lot about like addiction,
and it's like his main thing that he leads with
a lot of times, like on his show, and it's like,
I don't know how bad he felt about that, and
if you look back, he'd been like so blatantly lying
about it, Wow, so blatantly lying like for a while
wow before he came clean. And then also she was
congratulating him on a certain amount of years of sobriety
and I was like, that doesn't that doesn't match up
with his own timeline. Interesting And also he blocked me
on Twitter like many years ago. He did, Yeah, he
sure did, for it was so stupid. He posted something.
First of all, this is the thing that makes me
the maddest. He tries to pretend to be progressive, but
he's one of those. He's one of those progressives and
I use air quotes. That's like just asking questions a lot.
So he has a lot of problems with like trans
people playing like trans women playing sports. And he's like
he's he's the well it's really not fair guy without
and he also like I didn't like the episode he
did with I remember we talked about vanass or whatever. Yes, yes,
And then there was he also posted something at an
airport at the Boston airport, they were stranded and he
posted a picture of his wife's ass or something, and
she's like making you know, the ground comfortable for the
kids to sleep on and stuff like. They're very privileged.
They are, and they do not recognize their own privilege whatsoever. No,
they don't not have read the room now. And I'll
tell you this, I think a big reason why you
and I both are kind of turned off to him
is because he is kind of going that bro even
though he pretends he's not. He's becoming a bro guy.
He's on testosterone. Yeah, he's he's he's a little doctor druey.
Oh god, oh god, that's what's happening with him. Gross. Well,
so I'm not like super sad about somebody either. I
think I do like Kristin Belvo, so, I mean I
like her too. I think she's I'm fine with. I
think she was probably trying to be funny. Yes, I'm
just needing that, and that would be I could see, like,
I mean, I could see that being a joke between
like me and John yeah, and then posting that and
then being like, oh shit, yeah I'm not her, So
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: Like right right, yeah, I mean I think it would
have better been better off written on it like a
card to get like, instead of like posting it. You know,
but yeah, I just think it just kind of went.
But yeah, there's a lot of a lot of brew
ha ha about it this morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh well you're bringing some news. Yeah, look at me. Well,
