I do too much?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
No, do you feel like proud of yourself or a
cringe or like step talking about me?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Sometimes sometimes it is hard to, you know, hear your
accomplishments when somebody says them out loud. When did you
discover that you were funny? I definitely was that kid.
I was definitely my kid. I would say probably when
I was about eight years old. I was a big
fan of the Carol Burnett show. I'm totally dating myself here,
(06:52):
I'm so old, but yeah, I watched in reruns. To
be clear, I did not watch the original when it
aired in the seventies. I watched it in your ends
and I absolutely loved Tim Conway and I loved the
impression of the old man that he would do. I
don't know if you guys are familiar with this, but
he used to do this impression. This sketches sketch comedy.
(07:12):
They would play funny characters and he did this impression
of this old man that she would shuffle his feet
and talk and he would mumble. And I would recreate
those characters for my mom and all her friends whenever
they would come over, and I'd be like, wait, now
watch this, and I would come out and do it,
or I'd come out and do some other Cara burnet,
or I would do some funny impression that I saw
on SNL or whatever. So I was always that kid,
(07:33):
and I knew early on that that love of hearing
somebody laugh like, oh my gosh. You mean if I
say or do something it makes somebody else laugh like
that is a joy. That is a joy that I
have sought after my whole life since in so I
definitely didn't know early on.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Yeah, if you want to present your skin, make sure
you get some bad girls. Sask your gun, babe, justplat
on your black girls. Sun scaring black black don't crack,
it doesn't. But people get some birds who as my cousin.
(08:13):
You want to present your skin, Sure you get some
black girls sun scaring black your bab.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Girls.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
He recently sold out the ice House. Congratulations on that.
I'm curious, what is your what is your material?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Is it relevant to what's going on in pulp culture?
Is it political?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Like? What is your comfort zone? Is it comedian?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You know?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I I try to steer away from stuff that's anything
dealing with the news, to be honest, because that's my job.
That's what I do at KFI. Here at Iheartradiott get
a little plug in for the money.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Sure, Yeah, what's the worst joke You've ever told?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
The worst joke? I mean I have told some pretty
off color jokes and I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Like, oh this is and I'm like, oh, this is shit.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
The one that I the one that first came to
mind when I was thinking about this is do you
guys have you ever heard of the TV show Fraser?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Okay, all right, So I told this joke about how
my job at KFI is like, you know, like the
TV show Fraser, but with a lot more murder. And
because we talk about murder a lot on the news,
I mean we do, and literally the whole room was
dead silent, and I was like, did I say something wrong?
(09:35):
I was like, maybe they don't like murder? Like what
is going on? And then my other friend, my other
comic friend, got up there and she's like, girl, that
is the widest thing anybody has ever said. Nobody here
knows about Fraser. You are so white. And I was like,
do people of colored not.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Know about Fraser?
Speaker 8 (09:50):
How do I not know this? And like I was like,
maybe I just missed the mark on my audience. But
it bombed really bad, and I was like, well, maybe
it's just not a funny joke. Maybe I need to
just rewrite.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Okay, okay, and what's the best what's the best joke?
So my favorite I.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Have a joke where I talk about you know I.
You guys can tell I'm a little overweight. I'm carrying
a little bit of weight in my midsection. It's okay,
that's because I recently had a baby. Congratulations, thank you. Yeah,
I'm trying to lose some of the baby weight. She's twelve.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah you were gagging twelve the way, but I knew
she was gaggy.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
That one is a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
That one.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
People love that joke, and I may always makes me laugh.
And what's funny is I've been telling that joke since
she was eight, So every year I just keep reupping
it and reapping it and wrapping it. And at the
ice House, it was such a fun show. We had
this gorgeous, gorgeous Chinese man that was in the audience
that I saw him backstage. Oh he came in. Oh
I'm going I saw him when he came in backstage
(10:51):
and he sat in the audience. I was like, oh
my gosh, this man is gorgeous. So it was a
mother's day show and I called him out and I'm
made him stand up and turn around for everybody else,
like this is the gift all the moms. And I
was like, ho is you show hey Osani and literally
I ever.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Was like what.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Ee was like, oh my god. And he was cracking
up laughing. So that was really fun. He was such
a good sport about it. And then the whole rest
of the evening, all the other comics were like, show hey,
stand up and show the mom's what you got, and
so like it got a little wild, It got a
little while, but it's such a fun show.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Wait what that was like? Off the cuff?
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, yeah, just for fun. I mean you have to
be sort of in the moment and feeling what the
audience is feeling and seeing if they're there for a
good time, and like all in and kind of play
with it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, So do you just walk around with jokes in
your mind?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
I'm ready at any moment. No, No, I wish, I
wish I was that quick. I'm getting old now, so
I have to have a lot of coffee to be
to be that ready in that on.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, because that was very very quick.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Here wait, you said it, did I Kayla my embarrassing.
I don't Wantkayla to be like, oh my god, I'm
never inviting her back to I love Kayla so much.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
So you spoke about your own weight funny being funny though, right,
you are an advocate of BOPO.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, let's talk about that.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Let's talk about bopo bopo body positivity. I have not
been overweight to my whole life. I was a very
athletic kid. I was very thin in high school. This
is something that is somewhat new to me, but also
not new. It's been a gradual process and I I
I love my body. I love your body. I love
(12:38):
your body. I love your but everybody, and if there
is anything I can do to encourage someone at any
shape or size to love their body, to love their curves,
to love their lack of curves, you know I have.
My twelve year old is a string being. She's very thin.
She is, you know, she's just a rail thin kid.
And I'm like, girl, love your body. And she's like,
(13:00):
I don't like to be so skinny. Da da da,
And I'm like, we're not gonna do that. We are
This is not the nineteen fifties. My mom was raised
in a house where they obsessed over being thin. They
obsessed over this this unrealistic idea that you have to
look a certain way, dress a certain way, be a
certain type of woman in your own home. And I
(13:21):
am not about that. We are here, this is twenty
twenty five. We love our bodies. They can do amazing things,
they can make children, they are strong, we are we
are incredible people. And so any chance I get to
do that, to encourage somebody to just love your body,
that's what I'm I'm always gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
How did you become so positive?
Speaker 8 (13:44):
I thought I could say, how did you become so fat,
and I was gonna be like, girl, now we gotta.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Find you know.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
So you know what, let's let's talk about that word
for a second. I actually don't use that word.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
You don't use that word.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
No, I don't use the word because I find it offensive.
But I also don't like the S word skinny. Okay, okay,
So it goes both ways for me because I don't
think either one. I feel like when if you say
someone is a fat it's almost insinuating that they're unhealthy.
But in the reverse, when you say someone is skinny,
(14:15):
it's also.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So implying that, yeah, they're unhealthy. Go ahead, So how
did you? I mean, it's one thing to say that
you love all bodies page forms, but but how did
you become this way?
Speaker 8 (14:28):
I think it's came, honestly from a sense of confidence
that I've had as a child. We don't talk enough
about instilling confidence in children to love themselves because it
can have lifelong repercussions. If as a child you are
not taught that your body can do amazing things and
that it is beautiful, then you are going to carry
(14:51):
that over as an adult and say, if you have
a parent or someone in your house that is discouraging you,
saying you're overweight, you're the F word, or whatever it's
it can you'll carry that with you in the back
of your mind your whole life. So I, as a child,
you know, even though my mom had these unrealistic expectations,
(15:12):
I decided that I wasn't going to accept that and
I was going to love my body no matter what happened.
It also helps that I have been surrounded by people
and very lucky that have been surrounded by people like
my husband who do love me and who know that
I'm heavier now than when we got married. Always joke
with him like, oh, I sold you a Billy Goods,
(15:34):
tricked you, and he's just like, oh my god, stup.
I joke a lot about it, but no, he looks amazing.
It's not fair. He literally just yeah, it's not about him.
This is about us today.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
So it's I think it really does start when when
your kids, and if you have an opportunity to encourage
a child and tell them, you know, you don't have to,
Oh please don't go up to children and talk to
him their bodies. That's not what I mean. If you
have the child in your life, you know, encourage them
and tell them that their bodies are strong, whether they
(16:08):
are on the thin side or the heavier side, and
our bodies can do wonderful things. So that's it started
for me as a kid. But I made the choice
to do that, to say I'm gonna love my body
and accept my body no matter what.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
And I'm wondering is that something that made your recent
speaking at Girl Up Leadership Summit where you were with
other really tilblazing women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.
I imagine that the message that you wanted to give
at that summit was probably very much inspired by some
of what you just said.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Yeah, that was a partnership that I did with the
Always brand, you know, the supplies of champons and pads
and that sort of thing feminine care. Yes, yeah, they
invited me to come and be a part of their panels,
specifically talking about awareness of menstruation and of encouraging young
(17:04):
women to ask questions about it, to not be ashamed
of it. And that goes along again with a part
of our bodies. It's a natural menstruation is a natural
part of who we are as women. There should be
no shame attached to it. Young girls should not feel
uncomfortable asking a medical care provider or the school nurse
or somebody for paths and tampons and that sort of thing.
(17:27):
So it all kind of ties in with this body
positive thing. That's why I say I'm a big fan
of encouraging talking about health, talking about your bodies. We
you know, men are not afraid to, you know, say hey,
something feels weird or whatever. We shouldn't be either. So
that's a side passion project of mine, something that I
(17:48):
really want to encourage people to do, and especially young people.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Heavy do you work on screen?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Oh my god, I do I need it? Look at me.
I am wider than ago. I need it? Not really,
you don't think so?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
No, got some color?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Well, these are freckles that I used to hope one
day would turn into a tan, and they never did.
A I was convinced that one day this would all
blend together and I would be tan, but as you
can see, that didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Okay, So you wear Sun's green like every day or
only when you're in the sun.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
I try to wear it every day because when I
was a kid, I got burned really bad. And I
again goes back to my mom. Man, I'm throwing my
mom out of the bus to day. I shouldn't do that,
but this goes back to my mom. She didn't know.
My mom used to lay out in the sun with
baby oil. She would cover herself with basically grease and
(18:42):
just lay out in the sun and cook and she
could tan. I did not get the tan jean, so
she didn't know how sensitive my skin was. And I'll
never forget. We went on a vacation to Corpus Christi, Texas.
I was about six years old and I got burned
so bad. I had blisters all over my shoulder and
my arms and they were like big blisters. I was
(19:03):
burned really bad, and my mom was like, oh my gosh.
And from then on she made me wear T shirts
out of the pool. So I was the I was
the kid with the T shirt on on the pool.
But I never forgotten that feeling and that look of
like these these blisters, these sun blisters I got. I'm
a big fan of sunscrew. We have some for you, Okay,
(19:24):
well I'm gonna take it. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Howether we have a game that we like to play.
At the end of every show, it's called yeah or not. Okay,
so I will say a phrase and you'll you know,
yeah or nah.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I disagree, got it?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
We got some good ones.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Yeah, we've got some good ones. And we're each gonna answer,
but we're gonna start with you. Okay, okay, all right?
So the first one bringing kids to a comedy show.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
No, if I had some, that'd be an absolutely no, no, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Laughing in serious moments to cope. Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm doing it now.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Oh my god, yeah, me too. Sitting in the front
row at a comedy show.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, if I'm not in the front row, I don't
want to go there.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
You go see there, you go see me.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Pj's in the school pickup line.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
We knew it, we knew it. You did this morning
to you?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I will well, No, I wore this because I knew
I was coming here and I wanted to look nice.
But when I dressed like this, the parents are like,
are you okay?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No pajamas anywhere, but sweatpants absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
For me too. Wow, use of or your personal life
is material?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Oh yeah, I'm not a comic, so the answer is no.
But if I was, yes, I would, and I would
joke on the people that in my life.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I would not be a comedian. So it's a not
for me, Okay, having an attitude when you were just hungry.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
No, no, I don't get angry.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I don't either thinking redheads for gingers have a black jean.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Okay, Listen, I recently found out that I am part
of it.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Don't do it. I'm tired of your gagonists. I recently
found out.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I saw this, saw that trend on TikTok and I
have never run to make a TikTok faster in my
life where they said that redheads are now are part
of the black community, are black people, And I was like,
thank god, we have been wanting to be a part
of your community.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
For so long. And I was like, yay, Nah, I
don't think red head gingers have a black jean.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
All right, I'm a naw too, but it's loaded.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
I do love the part about a sense of community
and feeling accepted and belonging.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I do love that.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
What I don't care about is I feel like it's
the disenfranchised part. You know that, Okay, if if society
is treating you or mistreating you, a certain kind of way. Well, okay,
it kind of lumps you in with a community that
is often on the side of that.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Okay, listen to TikTok reels on full.

Okay, yeah, I won't get man if it's like a stranger.

and no one said bless you, I'd be like, oh

Speaker 1 (23:06):

care about me a little bit, even strangers.

I don't like to drive around in la I love
the ice House. It's newly renovated. It's a beautiful comedy club.
They have great food and great you know atmosphere. So
that's where I like to perform at. But I performed
in several places across LA, around La.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, we've gone to a comedy club as a group together.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Where'd you go?

an experience. Okay, Okay, So I know you're so busy,
you were so many hats. What is next for you
today today?
Speaker 8 (25:13):
Well, I mean literally after this, I've got to go
to my daughter school and drop off some paperwork for
next year. I'm gonna try to sneak out of the
building before anybody in KFI sees me and they're like, hey,
can you come and write some news stories? And then
I gotta go pick up my daughter and get ready
of for her band performance. She plays the trombone, so
she has a band performance. So that's literally what's happening today.
(25:34):
And then in life, I have a weekly entertainment segment
that I do on the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
You talking about Ditty? What they talked about Diddy?
Speaker 8 (25:42):
No, I don't talk about Diddy? Why does he know me?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Do I am?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I hope I hope, No, I don't.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I mostly focus on well, I do the news, the
news side of entertainment, so I have covered lots of
Diddy stories. But what I'm most focus on for entertain
me is local entertainment events like what's happening in Sokel,
Places you can go with your friends, places you can
go with your family. And then also every week on
the Gary and Shannon Show, I do a box office
(26:12):
preview and we talk about what big movies are coming
to the box office, Like I just saw Karate Kid
Legends and that was really fun. So I love to
talk about movies as an actress. It's something I'm passionate about.
If I see a good movie, I'm going to tell
you it's good. If I didn't think it was very good,
I'm going to tell you save your twenty five bucks,
you know, and wait for it to come out on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Do you know what show you should go on? What bridgeton?
Speaker 8 (26:35):

that you say that is? Last week Focus Features took
over the Langham Hotel in Pasadena and they had a
Pride and Prejudice ball where everybody dressed up in like
regency where you know those like high waisted long skirts
with the glove pettygrowth.
Speaker 5 (26:56):

They had live actors walking aro round like engaging with people,
and they had like dances. They had a four string
uh four string quartet chocolate fountains like it was like
this most opulent ball and they did it for the
twentieth anniversary of Pride and Prejudice and it was like
a sea of people all in like their Bridgerton style.

I also love, and I feel like I can do
the same thing where I'm speaking about dog home, uh,
you know, entrepreneurship, sunscreen, all these things and it just
actually feels pretty good to know that you can hold
your own in so many different ways.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Do you feel the same, I love it. Yeah. So
everybody is like looked and busy.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Being like multi dimensional.

something else.

When you hear it all out like that, you think
I do too much?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
No, do you feel like proud of yourself or a
cringe or like step talking about me?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Sometimes sometimes it is hard to, you know, hear your
accomplishments when somebody says them out loud. When did you
discover that you were funny? I definitely was that kid.
I was definitely my kid. I would say probably when
I was about eight years old. I was a big
fan of the Carol Burnett show. I'm totally dating myself here,
(06:52):
I'm so old, but yeah, I watched in reruns. To
be clear, I did not watch the original when it
aired in the seventies. I watched it in your ends
and I absolutely loved Tim Conway and I loved the
impression of the old man that he would do. I
don't know if you guys are familiar with this, but
he used to do this impression. This sketches sketch comedy.
(07:12):
They would play funny characters and he did this impression
of this old man that she would shuffle his feet
and talk and he would mumble. And I would recreate
those characters for my mom and all her friends whenever
they would come over, and I'd be like, wait, now
watch this, and I would come out and do it,
or I'd come out and do some other Cara burnet,
or I would do some funny impression that I saw
on SNL or whatever. So I was always that kid,
(07:33):
and I knew early on that that love of hearing
somebody laugh like, oh my gosh. You mean if I
say or do something it makes somebody else laugh like
that is a joy. That is a joy that I
have sought after my whole life since in so I
definitely didn't know early on.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Yeah, if you want to present your skin, make sure
you get some bad girls. Sask your gun, babe, justplat
on your black girls. Sun scaring black black don't crack,
it doesn't. But people get some birds who as my cousin.
(08:13):
You want to present your skin, Sure you get some
black girls sun scaring black your bab.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Girls.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
He recently sold out the ice House. Congratulations on that.
I'm curious, what is your what is your material?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Is it relevant to what's going on in pulp culture?
Is it political?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Like? What is your comfort zone? Is it comedian?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You know?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I I try to steer away from stuff that's anything
dealing with the news, to be honest, because that's my job.
That's what I do at KFI. Here at Iheartradiott get
a little plug in for the money.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Sure, Yeah, what's the worst joke You've ever told?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
The worst joke? I mean I have told some pretty
off color jokes and I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Like, oh this is and I'm like, oh, this is shit.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
The one that I the one that first came to
mind when I was thinking about this is do you
guys have you ever heard of the TV show Fraser?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Okay, all right, So I told this joke about how
my job at KFI is like, you know, like the
TV show Fraser, but with a lot more murder. And
because we talk about murder a lot on the news,
I mean we do, and literally the whole room was
dead silent, and I was like, did I say something wrong?
(09:35):
I was like, maybe they don't like murder? Like what
is going on? And then my other friend, my other
comic friend, got up there and she's like, girl, that
is the widest thing anybody has ever said. Nobody here
knows about Fraser. You are so white. And I was like,
do people of colored not.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Know about Fraser?
Speaker 8 (09:50):
How do I not know this? And like I was like,
maybe I just missed the mark on my audience. But
it bombed really bad, and I was like, well, maybe
it's just not a funny joke. Maybe I need to
just rewrite.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Okay, okay, and what's the best what's the best joke?
So my favorite I.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Have a joke where I talk about you know I.
You guys can tell I'm a little overweight. I'm carrying
a little bit of weight in my midsection. It's okay,
that's because I recently had a baby. Congratulations, thank you. Yeah,
I'm trying to lose some of the baby weight. She's twelve.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah you were gagging twelve the way, but I knew
she was gaggy.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
That one is a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
That one.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
People love that joke, and I may always makes me laugh.
And what's funny is I've been telling that joke since
she was eight, So every year I just keep reupping
it and reapping it and wrapping it. And at the
ice House, it was such a fun show. We had
this gorgeous, gorgeous Chinese man that was in the audience
that I saw him backstage. Oh he came in. Oh
I'm going I saw him when he came in backstage
(10:51):
and he sat in the audience. I was like, oh
my gosh, this man is gorgeous. So it was a
mother's day show and I called him out and I'm
made him stand up and turn around for everybody else,
like this is the gift all the moms. And I
was like, ho is you show hey Osani and literally
I ever.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Was like what.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Ee was like, oh my god. And he was cracking
up laughing. So that was really fun. He was such
a good sport about it. And then the whole rest
of the evening, all the other comics were like, show hey,
stand up and show the mom's what you got, and
so like it got a little wild, It got a
little while, but it's such a fun show.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Wait what that was like? Off the cuff?
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, yeah, just for fun. I mean you have to
be sort of in the moment and feeling what the
audience is feeling and seeing if they're there for a
good time, and like all in and kind of play
with it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, So do you just walk around with jokes in
your mind?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
I'm ready at any moment. No, No, I wish, I
wish I was that quick. I'm getting old now, so
I have to have a lot of coffee to be
to be that ready in that on.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, because that was very very quick.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Here wait, you said it, did I Kayla my embarrassing.
I don't Wantkayla to be like, oh my god, I'm
never inviting her back to I love Kayla so much.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
So you spoke about your own weight funny being funny though, right,
you are an advocate of BOPO.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, let's talk about that.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Let's talk about bopo bopo body positivity. I have not
been overweight to my whole life. I was a very
athletic kid. I was very thin in high school. This
is something that is somewhat new to me, but also
not new. It's been a gradual process and I I
I love my body. I love your body. I love
(12:38):
your body. I love your but everybody, and if there
is anything I can do to encourage someone at any
shape or size to love their body, to love their curves,
to love their lack of curves, you know I have.
My twelve year old is a string being. She's very thin.
She is, you know, she's just a rail thin kid.
And I'm like, girl, love your body. And she's like,
(13:00):
I don't like to be so skinny. Da da da,
And I'm like, we're not gonna do that. We are
This is not the nineteen fifties. My mom was raised
in a house where they obsessed over being thin. They
obsessed over this this unrealistic idea that you have to
look a certain way, dress a certain way, be a
certain type of woman in your own home. And I
(13:21):
am not about that. We are here, this is twenty
twenty five. We love our bodies. They can do amazing things,
they can make children, they are strong, we are we
are incredible people. And so any chance I get to
do that, to encourage somebody to just love your body,
that's what I'm I'm always gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
How did you become so positive?
Speaker 8 (13:44):
I thought I could say, how did you become so fat,
and I was gonna be like, girl, now we gotta.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Find you know.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
So you know what, let's let's talk about that word
for a second. I actually don't use that word.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
You don't use that word.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
No, I don't use the word because I find it offensive.
But I also don't like the S word skinny. Okay, okay,
So it goes both ways for me because I don't
think either one. I feel like when if you say
someone is a fat it's almost insinuating that they're unhealthy.
But in the reverse, when you say someone is skinny,
(14:15):
it's also.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So implying that, yeah, they're unhealthy. Go ahead, So how
did you? I mean, it's one thing to say that
you love all bodies page forms, but but how did
you become this way?
Speaker 8 (14:28):
I think it's came, honestly from a sense of confidence
that I've had as a child. We don't talk enough
about instilling confidence in children to love themselves because it
can have lifelong repercussions. If as a child you are
not taught that your body can do amazing things and
that it is beautiful, then you are going to carry
(14:51):
that over as an adult and say, if you have
a parent or someone in your house that is discouraging you,
saying you're overweight, you're the F word, or whatever it's
it can you'll carry that with you in the back
of your mind your whole life. So I, as a child,
you know, even though my mom had these unrealistic expectations,
(15:12):
I decided that I wasn't going to accept that and
I was going to love my body no matter what happened.
It also helps that I have been surrounded by people
and very lucky that have been surrounded by people like
my husband who do love me and who know that
I'm heavier now than when we got married. Always joke
with him like, oh, I sold you a Billy Goods,
(15:34):
tricked you, and he's just like, oh my god, stup.
I joke a lot about it, but no, he looks amazing.
It's not fair. He literally just yeah, it's not about him.
This is about us today.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
So it's I think it really does start when when
your kids, and if you have an opportunity to encourage
a child and tell them, you know, you don't have to,
Oh please don't go up to children and talk to
him their bodies. That's not what I mean. If you
have the child in your life, you know, encourage them
and tell them that their bodies are strong, whether they
(16:08):
are on the thin side or the heavier side, and
our bodies can do wonderful things. So that's it started
for me as a kid. But I made the choice
to do that, to say I'm gonna love my body
and accept my body no matter what.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
And I'm wondering is that something that made your recent
speaking at Girl Up Leadership Summit where you were with
other really tilblazing women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.
I imagine that the message that you wanted to give
at that summit was probably very much inspired by some
of what you just said.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Yeah, that was a partnership that I did with the
Always brand, you know, the supplies of champons and pads
and that sort of thing feminine care. Yes, yeah, they
invited me to come and be a part of their panels,
specifically talking about awareness of menstruation and of encouraging young
(17:04):
women to ask questions about it, to not be ashamed
of it. And that goes along again with a part
of our bodies. It's a natural menstruation is a natural
part of who we are as women. There should be
no shame attached to it. Young girls should not feel
uncomfortable asking a medical care provider or the school nurse
or somebody for paths and tampons and that sort of thing.
(17:27):
So it all kind of ties in with this body
positive thing. That's why I say I'm a big fan
of encouraging talking about health, talking about your bodies. We
you know, men are not afraid to, you know, say hey,
something feels weird or whatever. We shouldn't be either. So
that's a side passion project of mine, something that I
(17:48):
really want to encourage people to do, and especially young people.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Heavy do you work on screen?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Oh my god, I do I need it? Look at me.
I am wider than ago. I need it? Not really,
you don't think so?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
No, got some color?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Well, these are freckles that I used to hope one
day would turn into a tan, and they never did.
A I was convinced that one day this would all
blend together and I would be tan, but as you
can see, that didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Okay, So you wear Sun's green like every day or
only when you're in the sun.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
I try to wear it every day because when I
was a kid, I got burned really bad. And I
again goes back to my mom. Man, I'm throwing my
mom out of the bus to day. I shouldn't do that,
but this goes back to my mom. She didn't know.
My mom used to lay out in the sun with
baby oil. She would cover herself with basically grease and
(18:42):
just lay out in the sun and cook and she
could tan. I did not get the tan jean, so
she didn't know how sensitive my skin was. And I'll
never forget. We went on a vacation to Corpus Christi, Texas.
I was about six years old and I got burned
so bad. I had blisters all over my shoulder and
my arms and they were like big blisters. I was
(19:03):
burned really bad, and my mom was like, oh my gosh.
And from then on she made me wear T shirts
out of the pool. So I was the I was
the kid with the T shirt on on the pool.
But I never forgotten that feeling and that look of
like these these blisters, these sun blisters I got. I'm
a big fan of sunscrew. We have some for you, Okay,
(19:24):
well I'm gonna take it. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Howether we have a game that we like to play.
At the end of every show, it's called yeah or not. Okay,
so I will say a phrase and you'll you know,
yeah or nah.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I disagree, got it?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
We got some good ones.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Yeah, we've got some good ones. And we're each gonna answer,
but we're gonna start with you. Okay, okay, all right?
So the first one bringing kids to a comedy show.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
No, if I had some, that'd be an absolutely no, no, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Laughing in serious moments to cope. Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm doing it now.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Oh my god, yeah, me too. Sitting in the front
