  a little bit about our week, the good and the parts we wish had
• 1:01
  gone a little bit differently. Riley, as always, can you kick
• 1:04
  us off? Everybody welcome back.
• 1:06
  I have a very exciting high because I get to see Jenna next
• 1:08
  week. I'm so excited.
• 1:10
  And Lily and Lily, we are doing our company off site in Arizona.
• 1:14
  You guys remember if you're a true Emor Carbs fan in December,
• 1:17
  we talked about how we're doing your trip as a company.
• 1:20
  We're doing a little group off site and it's happening next
• 1:22
  week. Which is great.
• 1:23
  So so excited to see both of you.
• 1:25
  What? Are we going to do Jenna?
• 1:27
  Everything you know, we're probably going to run because
• 1:29
  we're, we've forced Lily, no, she's elected to start her
• 1:32
  running era as well. We're going to spend all the
• 1:34
  time outside because it's going to be beautiful.
• 1:35
  You guys are going to enjoy the beautiful weather.
• 1:37
  All the rains, I'm going to be so mad at you.
• 1:41
  It's not going to. It's all going.
• 1:42
  To you know what, I'm actually even, I'm very excited to see
• 1:45
  you, but I'm also very excited to meet George.
• 1:47
  Yeah, you've never met George. I haven't met George.
• 1:50
  George loves everybody, so he's going to be super excited.
• 1:53
  I'm very. Excited.
• 1:54
  That's my high. How about your low?
• 1:55
  I feel like I don't want to talk about a low because I'm on a
• 1:57
  high right now, OK? We can.
• 2:00
  No, my low is that I was really sick the month of February.
• 2:04
  I'm like super bummed about it. I feel like 2026 has just been
• 2:09
  beating me up a little bit. I had a little hip thing going
• 2:12
  on with my leg and then I was like sick for three weeks and
• 2:17
  I'm just over it it. Has not been your year with
• 2:19
  illness. I feel like every other week we
• 2:21
  get on a call and you're like stuffy again or someone in your
• 2:24
  house got something. So you know, it's kind of coming
• 2:26
  for you. Just hasn't been a great year
• 2:28
  for for that for you. Guys, I'm negative splitting
• 2:30
  this year. That's what I talking about with
• 2:32
  one of my clients. I'm like, it's not starting off
• 2:34
  great. It's gonna end great.
• 2:35
  I love that. That's just me complaining but
• 2:37
  it's just been. I'm so tired of being sick.
• 2:39
  I'm so that's fair. How are you?
• 2:40
  What's your high and your love? My high is I've had so many
• 2:44
  clients who have gotten their period back who have recently
• 2:46
  started to like PR races. These being clients that have
• 2:50
  continued to work with me past getting their period back.
• 2:52
  So that way we could focus on sports nutrition, especially in
• 2:54
  this like upcoming track season. Had a lot of girls that were
• 2:57
  doing indoor track and all that sort of stuff.
• 2:58
  So just so excited to see them kind of get into that place
• 3:01
  where like fueling has been restored, period has been
• 3:04
  restored, and now they're performing incredibly well.
• 3:07
  So I've just had so many individuals that I work with PR
• 3:10
  recently and even some people that I worked with, you know,
• 3:13
  last year, last summer, even reach out to me and tell me that
• 3:16
  they're PR ING right now too. Just so many great wins.
• 3:19
  I love when people, regardless of how long we work together or
• 3:22
  not, like continue to update me on their wins.
• 3:24
  It's just a lot of fun. So been having a lot of that
• 3:26
  recently and just really excited for everybody.
• 3:28
  I love it. It's a good time of year for not
• 3:30
  for me, but for everybody else. That's and that's totally fine
• 3:33
  with me. That's my love.
• 3:35
  Here is just later. It's fine, it's fine.
• 3:36
  It's fine. No, but like, I think it's so
• 3:38
  fun and I, I don't hopefully I articulate this properly, but I
• 3:42
  feel like it's so fun. Like once people get their
• 3:44
  period back and then they start to really focus on like the
• 3:48
  sports nutrition and performance side of it.
• 3:50
  And not like that we let that go and period recovery, just a
• 3:53
  different focus. Like most of our athletes
• 3:54
  continue to train while we work with them, but like that move
• 3:58
  from like period or recovery into like performance.
• 4:01
  I don't know if I'm saying this right.
• 4:02
  Do you know what I'm? I guess do you get what I'm
• 4:04
  saying when I say? That no, exactly.
• 4:06
  I always feel like I say that with athletes that I work with
• 4:09
  and specifically runners, because that's mainly who I work
• 4:11
  with where I'm like, oh, this is the fun part of your fuelling.
• 4:14
  Like we get to like be very like strategic about how we lead into
• 4:17
  race day and like talk about all those things that maybe we
• 4:20
  weren't talking about as much. Maybe I guess is the best way to
• 4:23
  say it when we were having when we just had a different fuelling
• 4:25
  focus. Yeah.
• 4:26
  Because, you know, we can't do any of that fun timing stuff
• 4:30
  when you don't just have the basics down and you don't have a
• 4:32
  good foundation down. Yeah, so just super exciting, a
• 4:35
  lot of fun right now. Yay, yay.
• 4:36
  To all your clients, what's your low?
• 4:38
  I think that was such a good high.
• 4:40
  What's your low? I know this is such like a
• 4:43
  ridiculous low, but I have to share it.
• 4:45
  This is the What Drives Us Bananas episode.
• 4:47
  So we're sharing about things that like just drive us bananas
• 4:50
  anyway. And this got me baseline, but
• 4:52
  it's not anything nutrition related.
• 4:54
  In the past week, Riley, I have been pooped on by a bird not
• 4:59
  one, but twice. Jenna, you and the Arizona
• 5:02
  Nature just. And I'm not kidding, I'm not
• 5:05
  making this up. One time I was out running and
• 5:07
  it got me and bless my sweet husband was like, here's my
• 5:12
  T-shirt wiping this off of you. We will carry on.
• 5:15
  He is a gem of a human. Unfortunately, the second time I
• 5:19
  was leaving somewhere and I was walking on the sidewalk
• 5:22
  underneath some trees on my way back to my car and I got pooped
• 5:26
  on again and I had nothing. I had no no husband to help me.
• 5:30
  It was. It was hurt.
• 5:30
  There's like no trees in Arizona I.
• 5:32
  Know. How do you find the two birds
• 5:34
  this? Is just my luck with animals,
• 5:36
  you guys. I am not right with the animal
• 5:38
  world. Something is out of sync,
• 5:41
  something is out of, I don't know.
• 5:43
  I am just constantly in retrograde with animals I guess.
• 5:45
  How does that happen? Two times in one week?
• 5:48
  I can't make that up. I don't think some people have
• 5:50
  been like pooped on two times in their life.
• 5:53
  Yeah, two times in one week. Don't worry.
• 5:55
  Setting the record over here, if it happens 1/3 time I might go
• 5:57
  buy a lottery ticket, I don't know.
• 5:59
  You should. You should.
• 6:00
  You are a very lucky person. You should.
• 6:01
  But yeah, that's my low. That's that's what happened to
• 6:05
  me this week. And you know, it's like this
• 6:06
  gross. It's so gross.
• 6:08
  Like I'm not hurt, but just how disgusting is that?
• 6:11
  I just I by osmosis. I'm grossed out too.
• 6:15
  Yeah, so anyway, I feel like I had to share that because I was
• 6:17
  like the first time it happened, I was like, no way.
• 6:19
  And I was like, well, at least I have a low for the podcast.
• 6:21
  And then the second time happened, which was yesterday, I
• 6:24
  was like, no way. I was like, I already had my
• 6:27
  low. I didn't need it.
• 6:28
  I didn't need this again, but the birds here had other plans.
• 6:31
  It really. Does help our negative
• 6:33
  situations though because I'm like at least I can talk about
• 6:36
  this as a little on the podcast. I think my favorite part about
• 6:39
  it is because we don't share it beforehand is like the response
• 6:43
  I get from you, which is always like we're laughing about it
• 6:45
  now, which makes me feel so much better about the situation.
• 6:48
  I'm promise I'm having with you. Not at you too, no.
• 6:50
  Of course, yes, but that's the best way to like get through a
• 6:53
  situation like that. So anyway, without further ado,
• 6:56
  here's our what drives us bananas for March?
• 6:58
  The things that we have found, as always, we'd love to hear
• 7:01
  from you, the things that you saw that drove you bananas.
• 7:03
  Today we have myself, Lily, and Riley to talk about all of the
• 7:06
  things that we saw online this week that drove us absolutely
• 7:09
  bananas. I love these episodes you guys.
• 7:11
  Yep, can't wait to get upset. Things that are going on in the
• 7:15
  world, we get a little heated on these, but it's fun.
• 7:18
  Lily, do you want to go first this week?
• 7:19
  Yes, I will. I feel like a lot of our topics
• 7:22
  recently have been very much about like GLP, one talk, body
• 7:26
  talk, things like that. I'm switching up the topic.
• 7:29
  There's an egg controversy going on right now.
• 7:32
  I don't know if you guys have. Seen it?
• 7:34
  About Vital Farms, have you guys seen anything about this?
• 7:37
  I know Vital Farms, they're like the egg cartoons that are like
• 7:39
  $12.00, right? Yes, yeah, exactly.
• 7:42
  Can you give us a summary? I'm not aware.
• 7:44
  Can you give us a cook summary? Yes, yes, I will.
• 7:46
  So Vital Farms, yes, Jenna's right.
• 7:48
  They are the like super duper expensive eggs that look like
• 7:53
  very like they would be good for you.
• 7:55
  They have their marketing down and that's what's driving me
• 7:58
  bananas is food marketing because a study just came out
• 8:01
  that says that their eggs have high levels of poofas or Omega
• 8:06
  sixes, which is throwing the organic crowd into a rage.
• 8:12
  Everyone's so upset. They're saying that they're
• 8:14
  boycotting these eggs, blah blah blah, which I am not opposed to
• 8:18
  poofas or Omega sixes or whatever.
• 8:20
  But it's the fact that this brand has prided themselves on
• 8:23
  marketing their eggs to look so greenwashed, as we would say,
• 8:28
  and that they appear like they are the best of the best.
• 8:32
  When in reality, if you don't know about egg labeling, it's
• 8:36
  very complicated. And nowhere on their packaging
• 8:39
  does it say that their chickens are grass fed, which everyone
• 8:42
  just assumed because there's grass on their carton.
• 8:45
  Poova's Omega sixes, that's the big controversy was seed oil.
• 8:49
  Seed oils, yes. Too many Omega sixes and it's
• 8:52
  all about the Omega 6 to omega-3 ratio and I'm sure the ratio is
• 8:56
  off in the eggs now. Yep, yes, it's the egg end of
• 9:00
  the world right now. And I mean, if you're going out
• 9:03
  of your way to buy $12.00 cartoons of eggs, I think I
• 9:06
  would be upset too if I found out it wasn't what I wanted.
• 9:08
  But it's just how they marketed it.
• 9:11
  They never said that they didn't feed their chickens corn and
• 9:15
  soy. They never said that they just
• 9:17
  had grass on their cartoons. So.
• 9:19
  I actually think that like this brings up a really good point
• 9:23
  because I was talking about this as a client the other day and we
• 9:27
  have really stopped thinking about the why and like asking
• 9:31
  why. And we're just taking things now
• 9:33
  like face value. And I feel like we've lost
• 9:35
  critical thinking skills. Like not to get into this whole
• 9:37
  thing about it, but like, is it because of AI in touch?
• 9:41
  Like are we just super trustworthy now?
• 9:43
  Because, like, if marketing looks OK or if somebody online
• 9:46
  says something's OK because things are so much more nuanced
• 9:49
  and like, we've stopped asking why.
• 9:51
  It's like, you see a reel and you're like, Oh yeah, that's
• 9:53
  true. And then you see the next reel
• 9:54
  and it completely contradicts and you're like, oh wait, that's
• 9:57
  true. And then you just keep going.
• 9:58
  So interesting how the mind works for determining whether or
• 10:02
  not something is trustworthy or not.
• 10:03
  Like the carton of Vital Farms eggs, it does look like it has a
• 10:07
  look to it where you look at and you're like, wow.
• 10:10
  Like that is so different from like the Styrofoam carton of
• 10:13
  eggs that you can get from like the, you know, grocery store
• 10:16
  brand or whatever. And in your mind because of
• 10:19
  that, it looks like this like homegrown, you know, Sally went
• 10:22
  out to the backyard and picked up eggs from her chicken coop
• 10:25
  and now they're in your local store.
• 10:27
  Because of that, we've determined that is more
• 10:29
  trustworthy or better for us. And it's interesting how the
• 10:31
  same thing happens when people are online because there are
• 10:34
  certain influencers that they have deemed as trustworthy and
• 10:37
  certain influencers that they have deemed as untrustworthy.
• 10:40
  And a lot of it might be confirmation bias as far as if
• 10:43
  you start to believe something and then you see an influencer
• 10:46
  talk or post about it, then you're like, Oh yes, this is
• 10:48
  totally true. Or it might be the opposite.
• 10:50
  And it's really interesting, like the psychology of it, which
• 10:53
  is, I mean, as dietitians, we take undergraduate courses in
• 10:55
  psychology, but none of us have degrees or pH DS in psychology.
• 10:59
  But it's really interesting to see how the marketing and how
• 11:02
  our brains work from a trust perspective when it comes to all
• 11:05
  of those things. And because Vital Farms did an
• 11:07
  incredible job with marketing, people deemed them a trustworthy
• 11:10
  company. Yep, it is pretty funny seeing
• 11:13
  all the posts that are really up in arms about the Omega sixes in
• 11:16
  their eggs. I'm so excited to talk about
• 11:18
  mine because I think mine really correlates with yours, Lily.
• 11:21
  And I don't want to jump into mine yet, but I think people do
• 11:24
  forget that like hoofas, Omega sixes are an essential fatty
• 11:27
  acid like it is. Essential, yes.
• 11:30
  That being in your eggs it's OK, but I wouldn't pay $12.00 for
• 11:34
  any carton of eggs either, so maybe just buy the regular.
• 11:37
  Eggs. I'm not going to lie, I'm
• 11:38
  looking for the cheapest one. Literally.
• 11:39
  Eggs are so expensive. So expensive, Riley, what is
• 11:42
  driving you bananas? I think mine really kind of
• 11:45
  parallel past what Lily is was talking about where like there's
• 11:48
  trust with marketing because I have seen a lot of this kind of
• 11:53
  that less like first quarter of the year where everybody is
• 11:56
  talking about the diets that they're on to lose weight.
• 12:00
  And the way that they're selling their diet is by taking a
• 12:03
  picture of themselves. And I'm just so frustrated by
• 12:07
  it. Like I'm so frustrated by it
• 12:09
  because they will talk about things that have worked for them
• 12:13
  and how they were to lose weight.
• 12:15
  And as somebody who's educated in the space, I know they're
• 12:18
  saying the wrong thing and it's just driving me bananas because
• 12:21
  people are going to try it and it's not going to work and
• 12:23
  people are going to get confused.
• 12:25
  I'm pretty confident half of these people that are promoting
• 12:27
  these special diets that they're on or they're 200 gram protein
• 12:30
  diet are also on a GOP and we're not going to get into GO PS I
• 12:34
  don't think today. But I'm just so tired of it
• 12:37
  because the marketing is so good and these people are so
• 12:40
  trustworthy. They're selling themselves and
• 12:43
  how they look and basically saying, hey, if you eat like me,
• 12:46
  you'll look like me and I'm over it.
• 12:48
  Freaking over. It I know that we have talked
• 12:50
  about this multiple times in the past, but how much frustration
• 12:53
  it brings when we see somebody online who's using their body as
• 12:56
  a billboard? Because even if Riley, Lily and
• 13:00
  myself for all to eat the exact same way and all to train the
• 13:03
  exact same way, we would still look different.
• 13:06
  What happens is athletes come to us and they're confused on why
• 13:10
  their favorite influencer looks a certain way and they're
• 13:13
  healthy with air quotes and they can eat 200 grams of protein and
• 13:17
  I'm telling them we need to cut that protein amount in half.
• 13:20
  Then they put us in a bad spot because again, like, we're not
• 13:23
  going to promise results off of something that's incorrect.
• 13:26
  Yeah. And with the protein thing
• 13:30
  specifically, I think that it's always been a really big thing,
• 13:33
  but we do see a lot of our clients and stuff when they
• 13:36
  first start out pretty much always overeating protein.
• 13:39
  I haven't met a person in this day and age, period recovery or
• 13:42
  not, who probably is under eating protein.
• 13:45
  We have such a focus on it as a society and in cases of
• 13:50
  reversing low energy availability and really trying
• 13:53
  to get our periods back, we want to be focusing on things like
• 13:56
  carbs and fat. And so usually the first step is
• 13:59
  to cut down protein to make room for more carbs and fat.
• 14:03
  And that's a really hard thing when the whole world is
• 14:06
  screaming at you to drink protein shakes and to choose the
• 14:10
  option that's high protein. I recently have had to cut out
• 14:14
  the Fairlife shakes out of my daily thing because I get them
• 14:17
  at Costco and it's the 30 gram protein, whatever, but there's
• 14:20
  no carbs in it. And I'm like, OK, that doesn't
• 14:22
  match my goals. So like little things like that,
• 14:25
  it's just everywhere. I saw this like joke online.
• 14:27
  It was a meme, but it was really funny 'cause they were making
• 14:30
  fun of like an influencer who had talked about their new
• 14:34
  butternut squash soup or something that had a secret
• 14:36
  ingredient to help you get to 30 grams of protein for the serving
• 14:39
  of soup. And it was a scoop of protein
• 14:41
  powder in the soup. Yeah, literally.
• 14:43
  They're like it's unflavored, just add it in.
• 14:45
  I think going off of the point that you bring up Lily with like
• 14:49
  protein, every single athlete that comes and works with us, we
• 14:51
  do a three day food log. We know kind of what intake
• 14:54
  looks like before we meet with them the first time.
• 14:56
  And then on our first session, we do like sports nutrition one
• 14:59
  O 1 where we're going through. Why is this important for you in
• 15:01
  comparison to what you're currently doing?
• 15:03
  What white we we need to do as first steps to get you towards
• 15:06
  your end goals and the number of people that when I review
• 15:09
  protein, what protein's role in the body is the importance of
• 15:12
  protein and all of that, despite prefacing it with protein has a
• 15:15
  little bit of a Halo. Most of us are getting plenty.
• 15:17
  Usually at the end of that, when I say like, what questions do we
• 15:20
  have? They say I probably need more
• 15:21
  protein, Huh. It's just ingrained in our brain
• 15:25
  that protein is this great solve for so many things that are
• 15:28
  going on. And yeah, protein does a lot of
• 15:30
  great things for our body, but it's not the only nutrient that
• 15:33
  we need. We have 60 central nutrients.
• 15:35
  We have so many things that our body needs.
• 15:37
  You have so many specific things that you need as a runner, as an
• 15:39
  athlete, as human that are more than just protein.
• 15:42
  Yeah. And I also think there's a big
• 15:43
  misconception on how hard it is is to get enough protein in your
• 15:47
  diet. Like the serving size for
• 15:49
  protein, Like it's so much smaller than people think.
• 15:52
  If you eat animal products and you have like, some sort of meat
• 15:56
  at every meal, you're probably pretty Dang close to how much
• 16:00
  protein you need in that day. Like you might need to adjust
• 16:03
  some things in your snacks and things like that, but it's not
• 16:06
  as hard as influencers like to make it out to sea.
• 16:09
  My favorite is like, I'm like how many grams of protein does
• 16:12
  half a cup of oats have in it? And people are like, none.
• 16:16
  And I'm like, it has like 6 to 7 grams of protein.
• 16:18
  Like we don't need to add protein powder to your oat bowl
• 16:22
  because you make it with milk, you add seeds, you add peanut
• 16:25
  butter. Like you're going to be at 20
• 16:27
  grams of protein very, very quickly.
• 16:29
  I think we, because we correlate animal products only with
• 16:32
  sources of protein that people think that that's the only way
• 16:35
  you can get protein in besides maybe a protein powder that your
• 16:37
  favorite Instagram influencer has told you.
• 16:39
  But most of our foods overlap with what they have in them.
• 16:43
  Like Riley just mentioned, grains, oatmeal, meals, breads,
• 16:46
  they all have protein in them. It's part of the piece of bread
• 16:50
  is protein. Protein.
• 16:52
  Is driving us bananas. This is why this is the Eat More
• 16:55
  Carbs podcast, not Eat More Protein podcast.
• 16:57
  So if you were hoping for advice on increasing your protein
• 17:00
  intake, it's not us. But we'll help you get your
• 17:02
  period back, so it's. Actually really goes into my
• 17:04
  what drives me bananas this week.
• 17:05
  So we did a great job with like tying these all together because
• 17:09
  my, what drives me bananas this week is that I am so sick and so
• 17:14
  over healthy quote UN quote desserts.
• 17:17
  There is nothing wrong with enjoying the foods that you like
• 17:21
  to enjoy. But if I see one more person who
• 17:24
  is making cottage cheese into ice cream or taking buckwheat
• 17:28
  and turning it into homemade Oreos or something like that,
• 17:30
  like I I, I just can't. Mad about trying to increase
• 17:35
  nutrient quality and quality of food, right?
• 17:38
  I'm all about that. But like a doughnut is a
• 17:40
  doughnut. You're a mashed banana with
• 17:42
  protein power that you put and baked is not a doughnut.
• 17:45
  Literally some of these things that I see, it makes me almost
• 17:48
  queasy because I'm like, I know Riley and I've talked about this
• 17:50
  before, but like when we see certain things that we've tried
• 17:53
  in the past, back when like maybe we had some disordered
• 17:56
  patterns with food, it like hits a part of our brain somewhere.
• 17:59
  I'm like, I can't even look at that and be like, yeah, I'm
• 18:01
  going to mix sugar free pudding together with a low fat yogurt
• 18:05
  and then stir in a ton of protein powder because I know
• 18:08
  how that tastes. And that's not something that I
• 18:11
  want to enjoy in my fueling patterns.
• 18:13
  Like if I want a yogurt bowl or if I want ice cream, like I want
• 18:16
  it to taste enjoyable for me. And to me that's not at all
• 18:20
  enjoyable. And I don't think that we need
• 18:22
  to take everything that we're eating and make it a quote UN
• 18:24
  quote. Health food, like all food fits.
• 18:26
  And we can have places for things that aren't necessarily
• 18:29
  like a health branded spin on something like we can just enjoy
• 18:32
  food. It's OK to do that.
• 18:34
  And they always are. Like it tastes exactly the same,
• 18:37
  all of them. They all are like it tastes the
• 18:39
  same. It's like you're having the real
• 18:41
  thing. And it's like there's no way.
• 18:43
  Like have you actually had Oreos?
• 18:45
  Because I guarantee there's more days to.
• 18:47
  Say my biggest problem though, is it reinforces that things are
• 18:50
  good and things are bad. Like it reinforces that dessert
• 18:53
  is bad and we have to figure out how we can make it good.
• 18:56
  And like, food is not morally good or bad, and we have got to
• 19:00
  stop that rhetoric. Oh my gosh, yes.
• 19:01
  There is no morality in food. You've talked about before how
• 19:05
  Charlie eats ice cream and you give her the option of ice cream
• 19:07
  and berries together and it's less of a big deal because it's
• 19:11
  just another fueling product. And she might have a couple
• 19:13
  bites of the ice cream and then go for the berries or vice
• 19:15
  versa. But it's just part of her
• 19:16
  fueling. It's not something that's like
• 19:18
  this. Oh my gosh, like we can't have
• 19:19
  that. It's not part of our fueling.
• 19:21
  It's not part of our routine because it's bad.
• 19:23
  It's another way to. Fuel so I'm continuously
• 19:25
  surprised with her like food choices too like we on
• 19:27
  Wednesdays we have gymnastics like baby gymnastics so we
• 19:30
  always go to Chick-fil-A afterwards because it's that
• 19:32
  dinner time Rob's and I are both there.
• 19:33
  We don't have time to prep food, so we always go to Chick-fil-A
• 19:36
  and I'll always like plate chicken, some fries, some fruit
• 19:40
  and some vegetable. And like, sometimes she doesn't
• 19:43
  even care about the chicken and the fries, like, and most of the
• 19:46
  time people would be like, she's only going to eat the chicken
• 19:47
  and the fries. And it's like, it's literally
• 19:49
  just a component of the plate, like the fruit and.
• 19:51
  Vegetables I loved learning about like, nutrition through
• 19:54
  the life cycle because it's so interesting that kids do a
• 19:56
  really great job of like regulating their hunger and
• 19:59
  understanding, like what they want to eat.
• 20:01
  And it's less pressure because they're haven't labeled food at
• 20:04
  that point in time as like a good food or a bad food.
• 20:07
  It's just food for them. And I wish that that's how it
• 20:10
  remained for everybody. But Instagram influencers are
• 20:12
  telling us that instead, we need to avoid Vital Farms eggs.
• 20:16
  Or eggs in general. And there's good foods and
• 20:18
  there's bad foods. And I disagree with that.
• 20:20
  We did a good. Job today planning our what
• 20:23
  drives us bananas. They all went nicely together if
• 20:25
  y'all couldn't guess, but we have no idea what each other
• 20:29
  things are driving each other bananas, which I love.
• 20:31
  We had a good float. We did.
• 20:32
