  SPEAKER_01: Set the target on fire, take the target, but don't mean don't mean I know, but they stopped doing it.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: I can walk there and get a dirty martini and house several to four oysters.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: I know, but then they started pricing.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_02: Remember when they were like two dollars an oyster?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: And then they started getting, and I think that's what got them.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: But listen, I just want you to know, I don't know for sure.

  SPEAKER_02: What's the scene from the notebook where she'd like to-I was trying to I know, I know me in the corner watching you say, Addie, why did you do the movement so perfectly?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because I've seen it a thousand times with you.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: I actually haven't watched the notebook in so long because I can't handle I have a hot take of all of it, it doesn't happen often, but that movie infinitely better than the book.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: Do not read the book.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I never did read the book.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_02: Guess what?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: In the end, they have old people sex.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: That's how it ends.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_02: They don't die together, it's not sweet.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: They just bang.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, in a way, I'm kind of that's progressive.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, yeah, old people.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it also they don't have to die, but it also wasn't good.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_02: Like the rest of it was not good.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_02: The the movie took great liberties, and thank god they did.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: Rachel McAdams.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_04: God bless her.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: She filmed that the same summer she did fucking Mean Girls.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: The woman, what can't she do?
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: What can't she do?
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: I want to be slammed up against the wall.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: I want to be slammed up against the wall by Ryan Gosling.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: But you know what else, Cecil?
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: I want to hear your question for today.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: So I have a question for you, Adeline.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so excited, also, because I just get to listen.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: I went on a deep dive on this one.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but my question for you is can I eat anything?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, anything?
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think anything is edible if you tried hard enough.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: Not everything is digestible, though.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: You could eat anything, you just may not make it that long after.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: Are we talking about poisonous things today?
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Is that that's on your survival skills.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm, you know what?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Good for you.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: You and I are troopers in that way, and that we will find a way to survive and and we will sure.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: My doctor told me, Cecily, if we were in the zombie apocalypse tomorrow and all food was gone, you and I would find a way to gain weight.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: Because that is our genetic structure.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: That's what she's from Dr.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: Is that from Dr.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: H?
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, it is.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: I won't I won't say her full name, but yes, God, I love Dr.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: H.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_02: I loved her.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: God woman.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_02: So I might go to her for the zombie apocalypse.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: That woman is the only doctor, and this actually ties into what I'm saying today about anything.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: Um, because on average, doctors spend seven minutes with their patients, only seven minutes.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: I believe Dr.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: H spent with me 45 minutes to decide.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I recalled my air sigyl cystitis flare-ups, and that it was being caused by the food I was eating because of histamines.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Which, how am I this old?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: And no doctor has ever said you might be having a histamine intolerance.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it's like you have a UTI again.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: You've been wiping back to front.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we all know you don't know how to wipe your own ass.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: That's we know that.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_02: And also, Cecily, you are a woman, so we don't really need to look into it.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Just get out of here.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: You're hysterical.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: Go wipe your ass wrong in the other room.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: This bitch is putting one hole to the other.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: I guess you're I just shoving, I was just shoving TP up there, hoping for what's best.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: No, I completely I'm really excited to hear about this because you know, I have I've had a lot, I don't, I have a big distrust with I've had a lot of doctors.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm a very sickly person, mentally, physically, probably emotionally.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: Who among?
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: But um I had just a moment that was so medical misogynist in the moment before I went to Dr.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: H because remember I told you about this.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I went in, and not to be TMI on the podcast, welcome to episode two, but I missed a bunch of periods, which is abnormal for me.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: So I went in, I was miserable, I was getting these like crazy red under circles.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_02: Like I did not feel right.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: So after like month three or four, and oh yeah, I took a bunch of pregnancy tests, and all of them were negative.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: So of course I'm thinking hematoma.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: I've absorbed a twin.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's in there.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: Final teeth.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: I went in and I said, Listen, I found out a lot of the women in my family have it because our some of our cousins do.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: I think our grandmother did.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: He looked at me and said, Well, usually with PCOS, or now it's PMOS, um, which stands for pissing me off syndrome.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: Pissing me off syndrome.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: Perd.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: He was like, usually with this, we'll see excess hair growth and like weight gain and like really, really bad acne.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, your complexion's pretty clear.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: So I I think you might be too pretty to have this.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: In the year of our Lord 2024, I was like, Okay, could you check?
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: No.

• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: So look, I'm gonna level with you.

  SPEAKER_02: There was a part of me that's like, okay, so I do have a range.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: I do have a range.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: So even when I'm a little bit bigger, mama can still get it, but still, but still I don't feel good.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Very concerning that that's the the focus on that.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: And we're not so I literally had to push him.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_02: It was like, Well, could you check?
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_02: And Cecily, when I went under that ultrasound, my ovaries looked like something from Alien.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: And you'd think I would be upset, like, oh my God, what's wrong with me?
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: But I felt so fucking vindicated.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: I literally, still inside me, respectfully, still up there.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: I went, Oh, is that pretty?
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think that's pretty?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: And his face went red and he left immediately.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: And then that's why I went to Dr.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: You for saying that.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because you could see on the thing, and like I just was so I felt so vindicated.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, I I'm not a doctor, that ain't right.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: What the fuck is that?
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's because the number one industry in the United States is do you know what it is?
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: Gambling.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: No, it is health care.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: So it is not based on anything to try and like make you really feel it's privatized.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's all privatized.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's the number one industry in our country.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Can I eat anything?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: So sure.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Given the country we're living in right now, I have found myself asking simply, can I eat anything?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, the list of recalled foods in the United States due to E.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: coli and salmonella and botulism, like these outbreaks.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it's still great, you know, to say that.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: I still ate Taco Bell.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to be honest.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I mean, we I was like, I I knew the risks.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: We were raised on Taco Bell party pack.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: So, in a way, our bacteria, which is actually something that I will get more into, is used to that and maybe makes us.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: I just wanted to confess that.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: I I knew that there was an active lettuce outbreak, and I said, You still said But I do want to crunch her up Supreme and I went, I'm just like a Caesar salad with French fries and a dirty martini.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean, that's a fucking that's a fucking lunch right there.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: We all did what we did, knowing the risks.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: But that's not our fault.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Whose fault is it?
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Why is this happening?
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let me tell you.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: CBS News reported on April 17th, 2025, that the FDA was planning to end most of its routine safety inspections.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: So that tracks if you don't track the safety of food.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: So since since then, since April 17th, 2025, not only have we seen massive recalls on produce such as lettuce, blueberries, and jalapenos, but also items like eye drops.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, eye drops.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Nearly 40,000 bottles of eye drops have been recalled over possible contamination with materials that can actually harm your vision.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like your eyes.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: And that's according to Fast Post News.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: Wait, so wait, wait, wait.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: Is this just eye drops or is this also like contact solution?
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like what's the eye drops?
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: It was um specifically eye drops.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I forget what the brand was.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: You can look it up.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, but like what what was in it?
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: Like lead?
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like what was the there was like glass?
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: There was like glass, there were chemicals in there that shouldn't be like the way they process eye drops, they they just cut the corners because the regulations there's no regulation, there's no oversight.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: So now people, companies, their priority has always been business over people, yeah, and money over people.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, we've always known that since the beginning of like the industrial revolution, that like it's never gonna be about good human working conditions, it only becomes about good human working conditions when people have suffered enough and people like band together and demand there to be legislation changes, like or production, yeah, or production.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like straight up, I think a lot of the motivation for stopping child labor laws in the industrial revolution was literally like if we kill all these kids, who's gonna grow up to keep laboring?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: Who's gonna who's gonna buy the food?
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: It turns out this nine-year-old breathing in coal buying dust all day won't make it to 14.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like it was never like, oh, let's save the children.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: It was like, we won't have an adult to work this later, so we better stop.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's never been about like yeah, really caring about human life at all.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_01: So, like, why are is this why is there this end of routines, safety inspections?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um, why did it?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: Because Trump and RFK's HHS downsized as of August 21st, the FDA has lost more than 3,000 employees.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously, like big manufacturers have made it clear that if they're not being regulated or over like any kind of oversight, they'll just like let you fully consume things that are filled with poison that are gonna cause disease and death.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_02: They don't Which speaking of, have you followed?
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, can I just side tangent super quick?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: Please have you followed the lead lady on Instagram?
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_02: No, what that?
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: This woman had a child who got lead poisoning and it led her down this path of like, where is this lead coming from?
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: So now she goes to like home goods, Target.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: She found baby bottles that has like the millimeters on the side, all lead.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: So now she goes through like famous places and tests them for lead.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's a great follow, also horrifying.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I just listened to a whole podcast with this doctor who is saying that there is proof that the rise of serial killers in the 70s could be linked to lead.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, fully because they were around lead, they were like lead expl exposed, exposed as children.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: Which so again, like our country has never had a history of like at all caring about people.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's not new.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: Our country finds itself in almost the exact same situation that it was in 120 years ago, which frankly, you and I can both agree is embarrassing.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um, because in what I'm gonna wait, quick math.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_02: What what does that put us in the industrial revolution?
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: That puts us in 1906.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, and in 1906, what novel debuted that would change the course of food regulation and food handling?
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was gonna say I remember this from sociology.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: So this is a novel that was written by Upton Sinclair actually like trying to push like the benefits of socialism, exposing the harm that capitalism does, which is again focus on business and not human life.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: And this was a book that was about the ex like the exploitation of immigrant workers and unsanitary conditions in Chicago eight packing industry.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, he wrote this to shed light on the immigrant experience, and it was like a fictional family, but based on you know, very real life experiences that he witnessed and He was like basically saying he was trying to inspire a discussion on socialism.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like, why do we all have to suffer and live, like suffer to live while the wealthy are living off of our suffering, you know?
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_02: And also, like the everyday common person may not be aware of these different things.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: So it shouldn't be dependent on these small immigrant families or just any families that are working to know how to process and test for these foods.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: So, like using the lead lady, for example, I should be able to buy a baby bottle and not have to worry that there's lead inside of it.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: There should be somebody ahead of me that that's all they do every single day.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: Why not?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: That makes sense to me.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: No, if you're but instead, people who have fought so hard to come here are put under extreme, horrible working conditions.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, truly nothing has really changed.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, in 1906, it was a whole other which actually is the thing that was very surprising to Upton Sinclair because he was like, you know, his quote was I wanted to hit America in the heart, but instead I hit them in the stomach.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because what happened was when everyone read his book, the thing that they were the most upset about was the handling of their food.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: His description of how food is getting processed in our country.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_02: People were in the meatpacking district too, I'm sure.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: People were like, Well, I eat food.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: This is about meat.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: Wait a second, I consume that.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: I consume that food.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm upset now.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: And so they all gathered together and they made a huge bust at Theodore Roosevelt, who then in June 30, yeah, June 30th, 1906, he passed the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: Because of this, basically the the uproar that people like said about how which is very valid, but it was just interesting that like people focused on how the food was being processed and not like what was happening to the people.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: Why are people being fed terrible food?
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: Why are companies not focusing on taking care of their workers or workers or making sure that the food is being handled in a humane, safe way?
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, instead, so we did get these acts passed, which just means that like if if left unchecked, once again, they'll just put poison in the food, and yeah, who knows if glass gets thrown into the sausage casings, whatever.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe the meat is left out overnight for three nights.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: We're still gonna send it, you know.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: So basically, let's take a breath.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I felt my shoulders going in the whole time.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: So again, our number one industry is healthcare.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, sure.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: Which is interesting, it's almost like there's a correlation between the food that the US citizens are forced to consume out of necessity and affordability and it feeding into the high profit healthcare industry that we have.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I have been reading.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_02: What's the uh I was gonna say before you say that, what's the joke in 30 Rock where he he's like, So if they own this and then they own that, and then Liz is like, then they might make the food vertical integration.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, vertical.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: So bad, but it's so true.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's our whole deal.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: Monopolies are just kind of what we we said no to them, but that's all we do.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's just monopoly vertical integration.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: But anyway, and then we made a board game so that people would think it's okay, but it's all fun.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a game, we're all playing a game.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um so I've been reading this book that has been rocking my world called Are you reading the jungle?
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, um, I am.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: That is what I want to reread next, but I'm actually listening to this book, and it's called Deep Nutrition by Dr.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: Catherine Um Shanahan, I think is how you say your last name.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: But basically it's been Rocking My World because she's fan.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: She explores how our country's healthcare system has grossly overlooked nutrition and how food affects our genes.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: I would agree with that.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: According to her, everything we eat, think, do can trickle down to genes and travel on to the next generation, which makes sense because, like, of course, drama has been shown to pass down on generations.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think they also just uh officially figured out in a study that autism is past genetically, also.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe not fully, but it was it was basically like a big study that was like, okay, yeah, there's definitely a link.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_02: So reach if you look at our family tree, of course, track it's tracking things that well, and for other uh mental health issues as well, like you mentioned trauma.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's like if you if your mother was immensely stressed or maybe food insecure while pregnant with you, that is going to affect the baby that she's cooking.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: And then eventually your metabolism, like you're like our Dr.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: H joked about, will grab onto that better because it has that stress.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's fascinating.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: All connected to your genes.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: And so researchers have shown actually like giving different vitamins to different mice can affect the health of the offspring.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: So, like if you give, you know, they like had these mice that they were giving them like vitamin A and not to the other ones, and it literally affected their offspring, like how they would see and move, like based off of what they were consuming.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: But she argues that if our country focused on giving its people a comprehensive breakdown on nutrition and focused on the meals our ancestors ate and made healthy food accessible and just paid a little bit extra for olive oil instead of canola oil, which she averaged, she went around in Napa Valley to these like high-end, like five-star Michelin restaurants in Napa Valley.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: And she found that 26 out of 29 of them were using canola oil instead of olive oil.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: And canola oil is fully has fully been proven to lead to cancer, to cholesterol.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_01: And so she said that it would average to 50 cents extra per plate if with the people just used olive oil instead of canola oil.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_01: But no one wants to spend the extra 50 cents on that.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm I'm sure it's also too like, you know, if you're a person that's struggling with food security, you can't afford it, and healthy options are so expensive, then sometimes the only option you have to feed yourself or your family is fast food.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: So making those foods accessible to those who desperately need it, you know, it's it's an awful stereotype, but it's like, yeah, of course, those people that are lower income that are struggling to make ends meet, they might be more overweight because they're eating crappier food because they simply can't afford to go to Whole Foods or whatever a nice, you know, healthy option is.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_01: No one can.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: But what's interesting is like, even at these high-end restaurants, that these people are like, look at me, I'm at like this Napa Valley, like Michelin star restaurant, they're still using canola oil, baby.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: They're you guys think you're better than everyone, and you're fucking not.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like this country is poisoning all of us.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: They don't care, you know what I mean?
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_01: What was interesting is that she said if we swapped it out for like instead of focusing on vegetable oils, canola oil, and all that, we would see a decrease in food allergies, diabetes, cancer, and mental illness, which is what you were bringing up.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, because your gut, your your gut health and your mental health are very closely linked.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: So if your gut's gut, the gut is the third brain.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_01: We have the same synapses that are found in your brain, are found in your gut, which is like so, which is like so interesting when you think about like a gut feeling, you know.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's that, and it's also like my uh my therapist and psychiatrist had talked to me about like when I I think we talked about last time during COVID, and I had a really fun crash because also there was a med shortage, so I couldn't get my ADHD meds, so it was really hard.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and the only thing that could get me anywhere was McDonald's.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_02: And so I had talked to her, like, maybe it's just leaving the house during COVID.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: And my therapist was like, Oh, no, no, no, they put dopamine in it.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, What do you mean?
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, no, no, they scientifically add the chemical dopamine.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_02: So you're not just craving it at random, you're desperately seeking.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why you're, you know, and then once you have it, it's short-acting dopamine so that it doesn't last a long time.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like, you know, traditional dopamine that you earn or to take medication to balance you throughout the day.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_02: It's designed to be short-acting.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_02: So that McGriddle tastes delicious, but then the next morning you crash even harder.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: So then guess what, baby?
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's time for another McGriddle.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_02: Time for another McGriddle.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_02: Which first off, no hate.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_02: I love a McGriddle.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_02: And treat yourself.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_02: Here and there, it's totally fine.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_02: But again, I was desperately dopamine seeking, and the speed with which my mental and physical health went down was rapid because I was just desperately seeking, and then you wake up and you feel like shit.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_02: And so it gets even harder to make it.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_02: So exactly.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: I I relate it's so sad stuff.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_01: So interesting.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so all of this has increased since 20 since 2008 because of our worsening food supply and less nutritious food supply being available.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: So what is really what I thought was really interesting is that cancer is actually thriving right now because everyone's saying like we're making such progress on health and technology.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: Also, colon cancer in particular is weirdly disproportionately way higher with millennials and Gen Zs right now, more so than they've ever seen in a younger generation.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: And breast cancer.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: So in 1960, breast cancer, women, it the likelihood of you getting breast cancer was one out of 22.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: Now, today, it is one out of eight people will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, that's crazy.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_01: One out of eight is insane.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_01: Childhood cancer has increased by 60%.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: Alzheimer's, 44% of people who are the ages between 75 and 85, uh, 77 and 85 have Alzheimer's.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: 44%.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_02: Which Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, one of the most things that impacts it is dopamine.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_02: So that correlation I know personally, because if food is scientifically added with dopamine and not long-term real dopamine, it's designed to be short-lasting to get you addicted.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_02: I completely understand how Alzheimer's and stuff could be correlated because if your dopamine system's fucked, it's an obviously an important neurotransmitter or hormone.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, like our grandpa's crazy.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like when our grandpa came back from World War II, he's 18 years old, he's sent to the front line.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_01: There's no care for any veteran coming back from war in this country.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, people turn to drugs, food.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_01: Food was our grandpa's drug.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like he would also and couldn't stop eating, like, which I don't blame.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_02: I would also point out, you know.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_02: And I would also point out that he, my our mother was like younger within her family.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_02: So our grandfather was raised during the Great Depression.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: And what's amazing is I mean, not amazing, but fascinating, I think.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_02: Horrifying, fascinating.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_02: A horrifying fascination.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, horrifying fascination.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, obviously they were very food insecure growing up.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, he and his siblings, even I'm sure the war, of course, contributed because you have that trauma and you know you're you're satisfying that.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_02: But even before so, all of his siblings struggled with their weight and eating addictions and food addictions.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's directly related to that trauma growing up.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_02: Imagine you're not food secure growing up, especially during gross spurts when your yeah, you know, body is asking for that kind of stuff.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_02: Then you grow up and in a post-war World II America where you know you guys are booming and everything's great.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: Of course he's gonna get all that good stuff.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_02: But he like was open and aware of it and joked about it.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, that it's definitely correlated in that way.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: And I think um our Aunt Gail had also said that all of his siblings also had very similar troubles.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, I did not know about the siblings because our grandpa weighed, just so listeners know, our grandpa weighed 500 pounds.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_01: Now he lived until he was 85, you know.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, it was a diabetic, a brittle diabetic in the end.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_02: It was very tough.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_02: Um, do you want to hear something crazy?
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_02: Just a little side note, because I'm tense and I just need a little fun fact.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, sorry, I know.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know me.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go into the I was like, I have to talk to her about this.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_02: Cecily, I'm in, I'm fully leaning in, but also uh, guess what else I found out?
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_02: Our grandfather, of course, was named Charles uh Charles.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_02: He went by Charlie, as was my godfather, our uncle.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: And they're the side of the family was from Ireland, too.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_02: So they're so and okay.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_02: So going back to what you said, yeah, family trauma of genetically.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_02: So imagine your ancestors go through the potato famine, they come over from Ireland as we know our descendants did to America.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then you go through the Great Depression.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, your system's gonna be like, well, we're gonna hoard all the food.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_01: And then you're gonna throw two girls that live in LA that are mentally the biggest, ungusally sick, physically thick, mentally sick.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_02: Slut sisters in LA.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_02: Don't say slut sisters.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_02: That was in my younger years before the PMOS.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_02: I I have sis now.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_02: I simply couldn't.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: I couldn't.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: These might be no, absolutely not.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, no, but I was gonna say, um, mom and uh Aunt Gail told me that growing up, uh, Grandpa Charlie's nickname was Jake.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_02: Isn't that weird?
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: Which for context, that's my husband's name.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's why that's weird.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_02: Whoa.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I I learned this because Aunt Gail told me a story that when he was growing up, I think in Pennsylvania before he came to New Orleans.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: No, um New Hampshire.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_02: New Hampshire, excuse me.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know where I got Pennsylvania.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_02: New Hampshire, excuse me.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I heard from Aunt Gail that uh basically like one of his stories was he was at school.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_02: Our grandfather, this was like when he was a little guy, like he's like the I think he was the youngest of his family.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh the youngest sibling, or second to young, anyway.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't matter.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_02: He went to school and then he rode his bike back.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_02: And they during the Great Depression were so poor they had to move frequently.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_02: So he came home from school one day and nobody was home.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_02: And our little grandpa as a kid was like, Where is everyone?
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_02: And apparently the neighbor was like, Oh, hey, Jake, they moved six floor six ways this way.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_02: If you just go, your mom told me to tell you.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_02: And so he rode his bike over there.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_02: Grapes of wrapping it.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that but that's how it was.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, first off, they didn't have a lot because times are tough, and then I'm sure they had to move, you know, for a cheaper whatever it is.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_02: But I just love the story of like, imagine coming home.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure he was like, you know, seven or something, comes home and it's like, and then just your old neighbor's like, Oh, hey Drake, move down this way.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_02: They're down, they're down that way.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: You just go ride your bicycle.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, when you're raised in that environment, of course your body is going to grab whatever it can.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_02: And if you also have other mental, you know, whatever it may be, not to assume what else grandpa had, because I didn't, I don't know him that close.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_02: He didn't divulge to me his mental as a child.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know that man.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_02: No, I he didn't have to divulge.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: I knew.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: I we all knew.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_02: We all know.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_02: We well, we all know.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_02: No, but like it I could see how not only with food insecurity, you are overindulging with food when you can access it, because thank God, and you're maybe hoarding it in some ways, but also if your gut is mentally unwell and you're craving these things, so modern fast foods, you know, I know in his later life years, you remember vividly, we'd go to visit them, and Grandma Two Two would be like, damn it, Charlie, who brought you Popeyes?
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Because he would love it, and Uncle Charlie would come and bring it over, you know, and she would get upset.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_02: But you could see why that, you know, dopamine-filled something is of course something you're gonna reach to when that's something that you were brought up with.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: But I had to tell you because I was like, Jesus, what a story.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's crazy.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_02: Wild.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_02: And so like it it paints the picture of how in unstable not only your food supply, but also like where you're living.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_02: You come home from school and the house they were in for, I'm sure not that long.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's like they didn't even have a chance to tell them that's how quickly they had to move out, just like down the street, like crazy.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's so, yeah.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's like it's just so wild because we also in America like are so encouraged to just lose your identity immediately in assimilate, and like the things you're giving up, like your ancestral diet, you know, like it's been proven that the Mediterranean like diet is makes you uh there's a reason why people are healthy and living long, beautiful lives in Italy and in Greece and you know.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna ask, have you heard about I I'm horribly mistaken?
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_02: Have you heard about I think it's the blue zones?
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm I'm probably like misunderdoing it.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe I should Google it.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_02: But basically, they did a study like globally of these cultures where people live the longest.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_02: And they found across, and I think they're called the blue zones, but basically it's like there's one in Asia, there's one in India.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_02: And they found the common denominator was like Mediterranean style food, like really clean eating, tea.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: All of the cultures had tea.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_02: So it kind of is comparing with people who live the longest globally, what they're eating and what they're consuming.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_02: And they found it was all similar.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_01: What they're eating, which is the thing that this uh doctor who wrote this book, Deeper Nutrition, encouraged was fermented foods, organs.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, like all these foods that like we're told we should not be eating, have we been our ancestors were eating forever, and it's yeah, culturally very accepted to eat organs and yeah, like I love a chicken liver.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: The indigenous folks from here would eat the entire buffalo, like, and if not, then they would make use of the bones and the like fur and turn it into, you know, like we use the whole animal.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_02: But I uh before you go on, I wanted to clarify it is the blue zones, and by Harvard Health, it's blue zones are specific regions across the globe where residents experience extraordinarily longevity and high rates of people living past 100.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_01: Because even in so she even speaks about even in in France, like the French diet is very buttery, full of butter, full of rich food.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: God, do you remember our Europe trip waking up every day and it was like, here's a piece of bread.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you hate bread.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: Don't out me like that.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_02: I'm outing you right now because we went to fucking Paris, France, and for the like three days we were there, they're like, Oh, good morning.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_02: We don't have breakfast, we have a baguette and coffee.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: If you want a cigarette, hit me up.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_02: And you and I were like, Well, I went all in, and Cecily famously was like, I hate bread.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Well, that's great.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: Have fun.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, give me your piece.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm starving.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying I say it's my worst quality, okay?
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_01: I am not saying I agree.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I and everyone I agree, and we all agree.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_01: And we all agree.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_01: But we all agree.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, you have no.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, Sylvia Plath agrees too.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_01: She agrees.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um what I Which can we take a moment?
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_02: Also, what's the name of the jungle author again?
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_02: Remind me.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_02: Upton Sinclair.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_02: Other great dog.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: Could you imagine if you had a Sylvia Plath and Upton Sinclair brother?
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_02: Upton Sinclair for a pug.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: Don't tempt me with a good tongue.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_02: Sylvia, Sylvia, what do you think?
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_02: Put it to her, put it to her nose.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_01: What I thought was really interesting was that this French diet, like, you know, people are like, the French, they smoke cigarettes, they're having all this butter.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_01: But and wine.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_01: She said, and cheese.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_01: She said, great diet, though.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: Because like eating like animal products, eating um rich, like actual butter and not margarine, which is what was forced onto us in the 50s.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_01: I can't believe it's not butter.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: That shit is what's killing us.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's not butter.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's not just have the butter, babe.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's better than the cookies.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what she was saying.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, there's a reason why people in France are living longer than people in the United States.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_01: And she said, which I thought this was really interesting.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_01: She said, We have been everyone boasts that in the United States everyone has such a long life, you know, we have such long life expectan expectancy now.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_01: But that same like measurement is not happening to younger generations.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_01: They're like the 80-year-olds that we're talking about right now grew up closer to like our ancestral diet.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_01: They were eating the butter, they were eating these chemicals that hadn't been around.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_01: And I would argue all of them.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that, and also that they had somebody at home to cook those meals from scratch.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_02: Not to say, like, of course, I'm glad that women are now working and doing that kind of thing.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_02: However, I think also the rise in quick convenient food went up because more people were working, and and of course, inflation.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_02: So we all have to make more money.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_02: And who's billionaires?
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_01: We have to make sure that they keep having their quality.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, honestly, aren't someone please, please, billionaires.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_02: Why is no one thinking about the billionaires?
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_02: You guys, it's so hard for them to be able to do that.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's really hard for them.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_01: And they earned it.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_01: And we should make sure we don't get any rest, we don't eat any good foods that are actual food and not chemicals because we have to work to provide for them.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, um, what I thought was very interesting is that she published this article called the Canola Blob.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and this is Dr.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_02: Canola Blob?
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's called me after Thanksgiving, baby.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_01: Hello.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_01: Hello, where she explained that based on her findings, like canola oil essentially is killing us.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_01: And like I said, it's been she could not not find it.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_01: It was everywhere, it was in everything, you know?
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_01: And she said after she published her article, she was reached out to by the president of the CIA, who at the time it was Charles Benning, and he wrote a letter to her saying that her article was misinformation.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: And it was such misinformation that she needed to meet with him right away and have dinner, her and her co-author.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_02: So they have- I'm also like, if you got it, hears me out.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: How do you like is it like Jeff at CIA.com?
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_02: Like how the fuck does you know what I mean?
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like an official notice, which Jeff CIA at gmail.com.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_01: Which by the way, like if you're getting reached out by the CIA, you know you're on to something that's true and real.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like Are you saying, like, if I'm on a watch list, I do pretty well for myself.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_01: Mitch, I figured some shit out that they don't want us to tell everyone.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: I hope our names, I hope our names are touching on the watch list.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think our our names are definitely touching on the on the watch list.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, she said, so he invites her and her co-author over to this extravagant meal where he is pairing dark chocolates with olive oil, ironically.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_01: And he's talking, he's going on and on about the refinement.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_02: Which dark chocolate also is a horrible industry.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of really, really bad cocoa.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like, yes, it's very bad.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: And it's about like the refinement process and like the cutting of corners and like the chemical injection and all the shit.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_01: And so he's going on and on about how important the refinement for olive oil is and how it's such a sensitive oil and how good it is.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_02: Almost like it's pasteurized.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's almost like, and he's like talking about his collection of olive oils and how he like has this aged olive oil going on and on and on.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_01: And she goes, So it seems like you and I are on the same page.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_01: Olive oils is good.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_01: Shouldn't we all be having olive oil?
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of reproving my point because why are we not at a canola oil tasting?
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_01: Why are we at an olive oil tasting right now?
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_01: And then he said, olive oil.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_01: He said, We have to feed the masses.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we have canola oil.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_02: Which is also what they use to justify uh high fructose corn syrup.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_01: And the the solution is I mean, either become Gwyneth Paltrow where you can afford like this beautiful olive oil, or you just start questioning everything.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_01: The question, like, does this have canola?
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_01: The fact that like canola oil is in like high-end restaurants, that they're like getting away with that shit, just made me so angry.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, How do we get any progress on any of this if we rebel?
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: How did we get the food act?
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: How did we get the like meat processing act?
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone was up in arms and was like, we will not stand for this, and that's how we got regulated food, that's how we got it.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_01: So I do see what is exciting to me at least is that there's been more discussion about this.
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_01: There's been more discussion about food insecurity, about the lack of education around nutrition.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't have a comprehensive idea on what no, I mean, I just to use like my example of like when I discovered that this was probably in like 2021 when I started talking with my therapist, and we're just examining kind of behaviors I like wanted to fix.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I am immensely privileged and fortunate that I was diagnosed as a young girl with neurodivergence because a lot of young girls get completely missed.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_02: So that's like a good gap between my diagnosis, which was like 13, all the way up to I was like what, 23?
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_02: Or I can't remember in 20, I mean like early 20s.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's like a good 10 years that nobody thought, hey, by the way, there's dopamine added.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_02: So like if you find your like, that's why statistically they're like, oh, you're self-medicating for ADHD.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_02: No, that's why there's so many core morbidities like hormonal issues, like um hypermobility, like immune system to things that fall under neurodivergence because they don't tell you those things.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, I was just lucky enough to be like, I had some other stuff I wanted to work on.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: So I was just examining behaviors, but you could see how easily you get hooked on that fast food, and then it's just like you're in that, not necessarily obesity, but you're in that short dopamine loop of how quickly your your health could plummet.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_02: And nobody even mentioned that to me.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_02: No, no one I had to find out just because I was like, golly gee, I'm eating a lot of McGriddles and carrot cake from Albertson.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_02: I don't really know what's up.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_01: It's like and I have to say, like, I'm really proud of you because it is extremely hard to advocate for yourself in this country in our healthcare system.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it is not meant to help you, it is genuinely meant to hurt you.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like, and so the fact that you were able to do that, of course.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and if I could reposition it, it's very scary to think like healthcare is our number one like business in this nation.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know what I mean?
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_02: A really good mental thing that I've done is I am paying you as a doctor.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm the customer here, so I don't give a shit how fucking cute and pretty I am.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_02: Shove a camera up there, something's off.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because I live in this body every single day.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I knew having gone through a lovely little mental breakdown in 2020 when my periods were still consistent, that despite being anxious, I'm not one of those people where I would miss a period.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_02: So four months without one, I was like, something is wrong.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_02: So go into your doctor's office and be kind of a Karen if you need to, because you're paying them.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_02: So don't let them.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_01: You're not like you deserve answers.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_01: You deserve to take up time and space.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_02: And by the way, and if somebody answers you that way, leave them and take your money to a doctor that will listen and spend more than seven minutes with you and actually explain, or find a person that's like, hey, let's examine that and maybe why you might be dopamine seeking in that way.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like, go ahead and be persistent because nobody else will do it for you.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's your money you're spending.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_02: If healthcare is the number one business in this nation, your money counts.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_02: So go for it.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_02: Speak for yourself.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_01: Speak for yourself.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_01: And by the way, like it's not your fault.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_02: No, of course not.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_01: No, there's so much guilt in this country about like No, no, no, no.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't mean it for No, no, no.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not no, I'm saying my intention was not to victim blame, but to fix the thing of if it is something you're paying for a service.
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, you have a right to say, Well, can you check?
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_02: Because I don't feel pretty, and sure enough, it ain't looking pretty.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, get in there.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you take a look like within the fucking rules of this capitalist awful game we're forced to be in.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_01: You, since we have to be here right now, go into that fucking doctor's office and tell them, I'm not fucking leaving until you get the test I know I need.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like, and another wonderful thing, and you're not being terrible, you're not being too much, you deserve everyone does.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and another wonderful thing is when you are faced with particularly, I think women have trouble with medical misogyny.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, like I'm sure black folks and people of color like people are dying on the table in Texas of sepsis.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_02: They have the highest rate of uh birthing deaths, which is insane in 2026.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, I can't even open.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_02: I literally, that's I'm I'm scared of giving birth.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, I can't even get into that can of worms.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, um, you know, go in there and if you have a doctor that, you know, don't let them just say, no, that's not it, and then close it because they will write in your file, she's just tired.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_02: I think she is, you know, whatever it is.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you need to state, okay, then can you write in my file that you have decided to not pursue looking into this?
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: Because if they have a physical thing written down, then when you take those files to a different doctor, there is written in your file that they decided to no longer look into it.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_02: Because what often happens, particularly for women, and I'm sure people of anyone that's you know in a minority or whatever, um, they will try to go to a new doctor, and it's like, oh, well, your previous doctor said you're hysterical, and then they close it.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_02: Make sure to advocate for yourself.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_02: Could you please write down in my thing that you decided to not look into this despite my request?
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_02: You are allowed to do that.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_02: No one taught me that.
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_02: No one taught me that.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_01: You just taught me that.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_02: You that's why I'm sharing it.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_01: Good.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad you shared that.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_01: Any tips we have, like what Addy just shared?
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, why wouldn't we?
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to brag.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_02: I want to brag.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'm very unhealthy.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm mentally unhealthy.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm physically unhealthy.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_02: I've spent a lot of time in mental health doctors and physical doctors, whatever it may be.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_02: I am not even quite 30 yet.
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_02: And just that story I always share because you hear about it, and oh sure, whatever.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_02: To be told as a young person, like my not, I'm not even that young.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: I was a grown, I was married.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_02: Not that it matters, but they say, like, wait, no, but I mean, okay, but Cecily, but it's fucking true.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_02: I've been told to wear your ring or even a fake ring in doctor's appointments because they care more if you're married.
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not even kidding.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_02: They've like looked into it.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_02: So, not that that's a justified reason, but I'm saying this was after I was married.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_02: I took Jake's name.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_02: It was Mrs.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_02: whatever it was.
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_02: So hypothetically, even under the patriarchal thing, I should be making babies soon.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_02: So can you still check?
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_02: And they still wouldn't believe me.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they were like, you look too good.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, that's great.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_02: No, I'm not.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't feel good.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_02: They literally didn't care, even if under the patriarchal bullshit, I'm supposed to be a making baby soon.
• 53:28
  SPEAKER_02: They didn't give a shit.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_02: So do it, advocate for yourself.
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_02: And if you know what the doctor isn't listening to you, talk to your friends.
• 53:35
  SPEAKER_02: The best OBGYNs I found was from you, from other friends.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_02: Take those recommendations.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_01: I met with my OBGYN that I literally recommend to everyone.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um, DM me if you want to know her contact.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_01: I will fucking show her.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_02: We love Dr.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_02: H.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_01: Shout out Friend of the Pod, Dr.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_01: Friend of the Pod.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um, she was the only doctor I ever met with where the first thing she said to me was like, How are you?
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like, how are you feeling?
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_01: And Addie, I burst into tears.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_01: I never had a doctor holistically think, and I felt so I felt stupid because I was like, Of course, every part of your body affects every part of your body.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_01: Like in this country, it's always like, Well, your heart is one thing and your stomach's a different thing.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, I don't know.
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like, it is so not in that way.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, I just went down.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_02: Well, she was the first one too.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_02: I I went in and I was like, I told her, I shared with her my previous OBDOAN.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_02: So I just was honest and was like, I'm really skittish.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_02: This was my last experience, but I know something's off.
• 54:37
  SPEAKER_02: Can you examine it?
• 54:38
  SPEAKER_02: She is the first doctor that looked at my chart and was like, Oh, you have ADHD?
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, Yeah, I have severe combined type two.
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_02: And she was like, Oh, no, so your hormone, no, this is definitely hormonal.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh, but I'm I'm medicated from an ADHD.
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_02: And she goes, No, it doesn't matter.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_02: Your hormone system, because your dopamine is inefficient, meaning it's crashed or it's up high, your hormone thing does that.
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, That's why you're statistically more likely to have PCOS if you have ADHD or autism.
• 55:08
  SPEAKER_02: No one told me that.
• 55:09
  SPEAKER_02: No one told me that.
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_02: So I was like, I made me want to go back to that doctor and be like, not only am I pretty, I'm also Auddy HD, bitch.
• 55:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like, look at it.
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_01: Look at it.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I just I know that this was like a heavier thing to get into, but I was just like so consumed with it.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I just was like, I need to yell about this, but also like something that this the doctor was talking about in this book I'm reading, which she said, we used to come from families and communities where we would share information.
• 55:47
  SPEAKER_01: There would there was no gatekeeping.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_01: It was if you were pregnant and you had a craving for a certain go to this midwife, yeah, or you had a certain kind of craving for a certain kind of fruit and the baby was born and was you had an easy pregnancy and the baby was born super healthy, then you were encouraged to share like what fruit did you eat, and everyone would start eating that fruit if they were with child, you know.
• 56:09
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like I just think our way forward is to just continue to share information, keep each other if there's a thing or a person that is like a doctor changed my life, I have interstitial cystitis, and I started eating these foods instead of this.
• 56:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you might not be having chronic UTIs, it might be interstitial cystitis and you're having a flare-up.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like we just gotta we gotta have each other's backs and share with each other because obviously these companies are just gonna keep putting poison in things and try to kill.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's it's very scary and it's very easy to start a doom scroll, a mental doom, whatever it is.
• 56:47
  SPEAKER_02: But I I do think a huge thing that brought us out from the industrial revolution was community.
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_02: And it's something now that our you know, the FDA and that kind of shit is not as reliable, we need to rely on our communities even more so.
• 57:00
  SPEAKER_02: So if you have a good doctor, if you have a good OBGYN, even if it's like what I said, like, hey, I found this tip on you know, Reddit or whatever it is, like I think community is a great way to find that, you know.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_01: Also, community, how do we build it?
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: Food, eat some delicious food together.
• 57:18
  SPEAKER_01: So make that recipe.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_02: Can I can I eat anything as long as you eat it with a friend?
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_02: Well, now I'm crying.
• 57:25
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 57:26
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, you wanna you wanna go get a McGriddle after this?
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_01: Girl, honestly, after we just said, like, it's all poison.
• 57:32
  SPEAKER_02: I go, let's go again.
• 57:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying you should never eat it, you just have to be mindful of your frequency.
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not trying to food chain because I love a fast food.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_02: I am a dopamine seeker, baby.
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_02: I am too.
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's just that's aware people also can't afford anything besides that.
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_01: So that's the problem, too.
• 57:50
  SPEAKER_02: So I and I'm one of those.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_02: I love a cheap taco.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_02: God, I love a one-dollar taco, and I love eating it.
• 57:58
  SPEAKER_02: Not necessarily what it does after, but that's between me and the well.
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, the street like street vendors are we have healthier food with our street vending than we do a fucking high-end restaurant.
• 58:09
  SPEAKER_02: Hot take, I'll take a victory dog in fucking Los Angeles over any goddamn gourmet.
• 58:15
  SPEAKER_01: Literally watering or El Pastor.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I had an El Pastor.
• 58:20
  SPEAKER_01: My mouth is literally watering.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I know I'm hungry.
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm ready for dinner after this quesadilla.
• 58:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 58:28
  SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about our favorite, our top, top three favorite um foods that bring us.
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_02: I I would I think we do need a little bit of a lifter, but could you be more specific?
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_02: Are you chopping fast food or give me a subcategory?
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_02: Because Cecily, I got a lot of favorite foods.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_02: And again, I have a dopamine problem, so I've tried a lot.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_01: No, I you know what I love?
• 58:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like, okay, let's think about like what are foods that like the doctor recommends that are like rich in that are rich foods that are like buttery.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_01: I got one, I got one that I had for lunch today.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_02: Bone broth.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_01: She was huge on bone broth.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_01: She was like, Love a bone broth.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_02: But listen, it sounds like, oh, in an LA girl, I only have broth for lunch.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's because collagen.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_02: There is 10 grams of protein in a cup that's only 40 calories, which means if you have multiple cups, you can get good clear protein, which is great for your gut, as well as collagen and other like immunity things.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, hot take, fill up your hydro.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_01: I have nothing but bone broth.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_01: I have just that's so funny, Addy.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_01: I literally, you know what's embarrassing?
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_01: And this is on ADHD.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_01: I poured a cup of bone broth into a mug to heat up and drink in the morning, left it in there, forgot to turn on the microwave.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_02: I've left, I I have frozen my keys doing the exact same thing.
• 59:50
  unknown: Yep.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: My oh, I can't forget my lunch.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'll just put my keys in.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_02: And then guess what?
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_02: The next day I was like, Where is my keys?
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: Frozen.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: They were frozen together.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_02: I was 20 minutes late because the keys.
• 1:00:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  SPEAKER_02: That's so frozen.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not even kidding.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I I remember, I remember my my roommate, my college roommate at the time.
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I came home and I was like probably not emotionally regulated.
• 1:00:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, like trying to break them like apart because the three had like melded.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_02: And like, you know how my old car key, you know, my old fiat car keys, so you'd press the button and it would like snap up.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_02: It wouldn't do that because it was like kind of frozen.
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_02: And so I was like, I remember my roommate came home and she was like, Hey, how are you?
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_02: Quick check-in.
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to see you were hitting your frozen keys over and over.
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_02: I just wanted to take a quick reality check-in.
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_01: Did you intend to freeze those keys?
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_01: The mental just picturing that is making me laugh so much.
• 1:00:50
  SPEAKER_01: I will say, okay, my favorite thing, um, Joey's mom, Rowida, shout out Rowida.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_02: Shout out, Miss Rowida.
• 1:00:58
  SPEAKER_02: We look to speaking of food, Miss Rowida.
• 1:01:01
  SPEAKER_02: I came over to their house for the first time, and Jake was like, I think they're gonna have plenty of food.
• 1:01:06
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, Joey and Luke were like, ah, it's full.
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, no, no, no, you don't do that.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_02: You come with food.
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's what you do.
• 1:01:13
  SPEAKER_02: So I made cookies and we walked in, and it literally looked like the feast from Harry Potter.
• 1:01:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like it was like all of the food.
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_02: And oh my god, she makes.

• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_01: She, that woman fills me with the best food.

  SPEAKER_02: Um, look, I don't know when or how it started, but if you go to Albertson's, they make carrot cake this big.
• 1:02:21
  SPEAKER_02: That's a slab with cream cheese icing.
• 1:02:24
  SPEAKER_02: There are some days where I'm like, oh, there's gluten in it, which as per our topic does not agree with my body.
• 1:02:30
  SPEAKER_02: But there's some days where I go, I'll take a Benadryl.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even care.
• 1:02:34
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'm embarrassed to admit this.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I'm gonna get canceled.
• 1:02:38
  SPEAKER_02: I hate homophobia.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_02: God damn, do those homophobes at Chick-fil-A know how to make a goddamn chicken sandwich.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_01: They're fucking the chickens.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's how.
• 1:02:49
  SPEAKER_02: I know, and it's not, it's not good.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_02: I know it's not found.
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_02: That's unfounded.
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_02: Um but if it if it makes you feel any better, my beautiful friend Josh, who is a gay man and is from Texas, was like, I eat there.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_02: He was like, I look, all my friends are gay, okay?
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_02: No, but Josh is like.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_02: I can eat Chick-fil-A.
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I can eat.
• 1:03:08
  SPEAKER_02: No, I can say it.
• 1:03:09
  SPEAKER_02: I can have chicken.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_02: No, but Josh is uh from Austin originally, and Josh was like, Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, nobody else makes it this.
• 1:03:19
  SPEAKER_02: I eat there all the time.
• 1:03:20
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, okay, so this is this is fine.
