Speaker 3 (01:17):

Speaker 2 (01:17):
The good thing about this is that this show again
has been booked for over four months. Originally Jimmy Adams
Laurie was always gonna be on it, and then we
added narrative. And this is a good thing. I knew
Rachel's gonna be on it, Howard was gonna be on
it some kind of way. I didn't know Linda Steele
was gonna come on. I'm glad Linda Steele's here. We're
gonna make it about fitness because there's a beautiful, beautiful
(01:38):
woman on here. As usual, I'm not talking about ice
I'm talking about everybody else only kidding. Lord, It's one
of those things where you can get on stage and
do what she did, and when you can be merited
and do what she does, and when you can cook
and you know, do what Rachel does, because Rachel does
a lot of great stuff too besides her coffee talk.
And then Carol, you know my you know, I call

I'm like, well, she always was, but she speak. But
you know, when you've got that children's book and you
got the playground, warriors and everything else going like that,
and living fit for kids if I remember, or a
healthy living for kids, which is most important. That's what
it's about. And so the fact that she got on stage,
(02:57):
I know that must not have been easy because I
kept seeing the definition of everything and I kept saying
I got to introduce her to Linda Steele because at
one point Linda Steele was one of the best in
the country as a trainer. She is that international best
selling author and she never gets to come on a
show because you know why, I because she's always training somebody.

Ice and Meritive, We're going to get to YouTube now
because it's really important. It's always about women empowerment, being fit, looking,
good doing those events, making sure you get the right
publicity and all of those things like that, and also
(09:36):
chilling with Ice. So GLORI, let's talk about what you've
been doing since the last time you were there. I'm
putting you on the spot because that you know, the heels.
I don't know how you walked in those high heel heels,
but you made it work. And I was like, you're
gonna fall.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
First of all, I'm never gonna fall. Second of all.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Yeah, it was a whole other animal because I haven't
I haven't competed in thirty five years, and everybody's like,
what inspired you?
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Why did you.
Speaker 12 (10:02):
Get back up on stage. I was at a I
was at a video shoot with v Shred, and one
of the girls was probably like two to three weeks out.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
Now, mind you, she's like twenty four.
Speaker 12 (10:12):
And I kept looking at her and watching her, looking
at her, going that was my body when I was
twenty eight years old.
Speaker 11 (10:19):
You know. I was just like that was me.
Speaker 12 (10:21):
And then somebody looked at me and there like that's
still your body, you.
Speaker 11 (10:24):
Know, Well, yeah, I give you.
Speaker 12 (10:28):
But I got so inspired by her that I literally
just one day I called up Wendy fourteen oh, which
is an IFBB pro figure and she's a friend of
mine and I said, hey, I said, can I do
your show right now? She's like, oh, hell yeah, and
so hired her, did some prep for about three months,
(10:48):
jumped on stage. I won that show. But then four
weeks later the big plan was the US, the Master's USA,
and I asked, they thought there was a sixty plus category,
and there's not.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
There's a thirty.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Plus should be, Yeah, there should be.
Speaker 12 (11:06):
And so I'm sixty two, so I was competing with
fifty year old and there's a huge difference. I'm sorry,
but there is a difference between fifty and sixty year
old when you get on stage. So I placed fourth
in the Masters in my category, which there was like
probably seven girls in there.
Speaker 11 (11:24):
I was, I was.
Speaker 12 (11:25):
Okay with it, but not really and so and it
came down to my posing and I realized that, and
so I'm going to hire a posing coach and I'm
gonna do another one in July because I can get
my pro card and I know that, and in July
that it is a sixty and over, so I'll be
competing with apples to apples, you know. But it was
(11:47):
an experience, Brian, I'll be honest, because when I competed,
we were just in one category and that's called bodybuilding,
and we were barefoot. So when you put these five
and heels on and go to pose, it changes the
dynamics of your body to actually hit those poses.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
And a lot of people don't understand that.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
But because of the way that you're angled and you're standing,
you don't have that nice gravity. I mean that you
know the floor underneath you. It's day and night, it
really is. But I was still I was still very
I was very happy, very proud with my accomplishment. You know,
I didn't think that I was going to lose as
(12:25):
much weight as I did. My metabolism just went on
fire after three months and wow, the last month, most
people are like starving going into a show.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
I was eating non stop.
Speaker 12 (12:39):
I was car bloating three a day for a month,
trying to put the weight back on because in my
first five team and I think I came into thin,
so I only was maybe I was putting. I maybe
put on like three pounds in a month by just
car bloating.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
And even that, you know, is.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's crazy, like you hadn't trained in a number of years,
and so going in with the discipline and the training
being at sixty what what did you notice?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
What did you really like?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I totally get what you're saying about the forward motion
in the high heels, because I'm a former high level
gymnastics judge and clinician and totally get that. But yeah,
you know that level of discipline that it normally takes
to get ready for a show, that right, water loading
(13:36):
all of that and you having to really feed your
metabolism is super interesting.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
What did you notice there?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
Well, I noticed that obviously. Okay, I'm going to be worried.
I'll be with everybody. Here's the thing I lost.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I went from eighteen percent bodies at down to nine
point five.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Now, mind you, between let's say twelve and nine, there's
called the skin issue. The body fat that I lost
and the muscle that I have. My skin was like, well,
we're not going to catch up with you right now.
So the elasticity that we have when we're young and
(14:20):
your body just bounces back like that when you get older,
as we all know, in your skin, isn't that wonderful
like bouncey elasticity?
Speaker 11 (14:29):
So I struggled with right up.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
Underneath my butt, and I was just like, when I
saw that, I was like, oh, you know, at that
point in time, there's nothing you can do about it.
And so when I went backstage at the Masters and
saw the USA, I swear to god, I wasn't looking
at because I knew I had the girls on their
shoulders and you know, I was walking around backstage looking
like looking at their butts, going they're a little Okay,
(14:56):
their skin isn't the best either, Okay, that's not the best.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I don't know the rules. Are you allowed to use tape?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
No?
Speaker 12 (15:06):
I wish The bathing suits are so skimpy. I mean
it's basically almost like the back end was only like
maybe three inches, so you.
Speaker 11 (15:17):
Couldn't even talk your full or anything.
Speaker 12 (15:20):
Yeah, you're exposed on stage. But what I think I
learned from the whole process is actually, I mean I've
been training. I never stopped training for ever, so I
did have that muscle tone. But it's not like I
took six months to a year and went, Okay, I'm
going to do a show in a year. I'm really
(15:40):
going to hone in on my legs and my butt.
Definition of my back. I just kind of on a
win win, Let's just see what I can do. So
with that being said, I felt pretty proud of where
I came in and where I landed. I was always
very strict on my diet anyway, So I just stopped
eating dirty like any a fast Jersey Mike sub in
(16:02):
the afternoon.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Maybe I just.
Speaker 12 (16:04):
Stopped all that and went strictly, you know, just you know,
chicken and rice and fish, and I was. I was
eating flat mignon every single day all the way up
until my show.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It's thirty diet, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
It's a what oh do.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You know the whole thirty.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Whole thirty is like no grains, no dairy, It's you
know a lot of just like God's green Earth vegetables, fruits, protein.
Speaker 11 (16:30):
But my diet was so I mean, I did what
it was called carblot flooding.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
Okay, yeah, carb cycling, not carblet and carb cycling. So
I'd go three more macros only macros yeaheah, So three
days on I'd have fifty grounds of carbs. And I've
always tried to stay at one eighty protein. Yeah, so
he tried to get me. My coach at two twenty
five and I was like, oh my god, I have
to wake up at six in the morning to eat
all this protein, you know. But so my protein always
(16:57):
stayed the same. At one eighty. My fast usually I
was the same, which I tried to take in at
least forty to fifty, which was just basically avocados and
made a little olive oil. But my carbs was the
big one. So I go for three days fifty grands
of carbs and that a high carb, and then I
do a high carved day of two hundred and then
I'm back down to low carbs for fifty fifty and
(17:19):
then another high carb and one cheat meal Saturday night
and then repeat the process. I just repeated that process
for three months.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
So freaking out the body that makes it, you know,
lose and.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
Absolutely is what happens. Is anybody who understands a body.
We're talking with glcagin levels and the muscle, how you
deplete them, how you refill them, all that kind of
fun scientific shit that goes on that I learned a
lot about and it was fascinating and it works and everything.
You know, people that come back to me and they're
just like I can't lose weight, And I go, have
(17:54):
you ever tried carb cycling?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:56):
You know, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It's feel talk about that.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
Uh, you know, I don't train bodybuilders, h so what
I but I do know that system and it does work,
and that's.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
What they do when they're, you know, getting close to
show ready.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
My program is a forty forty twenty split every day
whether you work out or not and protein.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
And so for somebody like me who eats like you.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Know, twenty twenty five hundred calories a day, it's about
two hundred grams one aged to two hundred grams of
protein every day, about the same carbs and about maybe
fifty or so rams of that something like that.
Speaker 11 (18:43):
You know, it almost sounds the same.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Yeah, it's very very similar to what you're what you do?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Then, what are your secrets to getting in all that protein?
That's yeah, that's more.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
Yeah, But I mean, I guess you can contest to
this too, but I really do something because it's she's
a lot younger than I am.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
Who's a younger now? That very well.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
But you know it's funny because when I was doing bodybuilding,
for some reason, everybody believed, oh, your body can only
assimilate twenty five to thirty.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Remember that that I can scream every time.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
I remember that was that we had to overcome.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
So you know I could you could take in fifty
grams of protein and one meal.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And every meal. Yes, I know it is.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
You have to start eating early. You have to start
eating breakfast. Those of you who are like, oh, but
I'm not hungry for single morning, it's because you've trained
yourself not to.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Be hungry and you have to eat it.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
Your your your body has stopped producing digestive enzymes because
you don't eat. Yeah, enzymes are there on a as
needed basis. So if you're going to put food in
your body, then they go, oh, okay, I have to
be doing this every day because I know she's going
to beat me at at six o'clock in the morning.
So so if you if you aren't hungry in the morning,
(20:03):
what I recommend is that you start drinking a protein
shake first.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
First thing in the morning.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Start drinking, because then your body starts getting used to
you putting food in your system.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
For now you're starting to you'll start waking up hungry.
Speaker 11 (20:16):
It's interesting you say that too, because at the.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Beginning he had me like he'd have me fill up
a cup three fourths of egg whites. You know, I'd
just go buy the egg whites, three fourths of a
cup of egg whites, and then two full eggs. Well,
when I did the three fourth cups, I realized that
was like eight egg whites. I had this plate of eggs.
I was like, I can't took this down. And I
started learning to put things in it, like I'd slice
(20:40):
my onions up and slice my tomatoes up. And then
after about three weeks it took up three weeks.
Speaker 11 (20:46):
To a month. You're absolutely right. I started waking up
in the morning.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Darving, carving a memory.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
You realize that now you're eating more, Now you're working
out harder, Now you're this the morning.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Now you have the repair process going on.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Now you're angry again, and now your metabolism is firing.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
I get supposed to.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
It's like it's very cyclical.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
You start eating, you guys, work supplement with protein powders
or anything like that.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Bone r.
Speaker 12 (21:12):
I only have one protein powder shake and that's right
after my workout, and that's I drink.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I drink a shake first thing in the morning with
spinach spinach, carrots, berries, beets, super protein powder and some collagen.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I put one of.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
Those mushrooms into and so I drink that first thing
in the morning, and then I go into my eggs,
and then I go into my fruit. And then sometimes
at some point during the day I'll have a protein
shape just because it's I'll be in between clients and
I don't have a lot of time, you know, So
I'll drink the shake maybe sometimes, and I drink the
(21:51):
chocolate ones that.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
You know, if I have a sweet tooth chocolate shak.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So you don't like, yeah, you can't see Linda, but
Linda is actually Barbie Mnus the blonde here Linda.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Yeah, she will not go on the show and show it.
But Linda's got one of these bodies that you just
can't take your eyes off because she looks like I
don't know, it's like a I don't know. You just
don't see a body like that. And she never never you. Yeah,
you know, you can't tell because she's always sitting down
and she covers up with clothes.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But I'm like, come on, show, get.
Speaker 11 (22:23):
Up on the table.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And it's been around I mean.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Are you kidding? I can't I can see her.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I mean, well, Linda, Linda, I'm gonna a little bit.
Let us come on, Linda.
Speaker 13 (22:51):
Yes, yeah, you work out a different way and you
look really good as that that that person who has
to be presentable when you come to events and strategy.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's sort of being behind the scene. But you can't
hide it. I saw that in Arkansas. You can't hide
what you do either.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
I mean, and I was a dancer when I was younger,
and you know, like as a little girl, jazz tap
bala like most little girls do. And then I started
ballroom dancing with front of Stair Dance Studio, a very
different type of dance.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
But that's kind of my workout now.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You know.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
I moved away from you know, kids, got married, got
you know, really involved with my job, and quit working
out for a while, and so I picked it back
up around twenty twenty and now I work out about
two hours a day and I just do it in
my home and it's a very I call it like
you know, if you were if you were around in
(23:59):
the eighties, it's like the Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Wall That's what I'm doing in my house every day.
And I like it and it's fun.
Speaker 14 (24:08):
And I have been to a local dance class within
the past year or so that I really enjoyed, and
I wish I could be more regular at getting into
it because the ladies were awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I was like, maybe these are my people.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
I need to come back, But yeah, that community would
be great. That's one thing I'm hoping to get more
into is more of the community aspect and getting an
actual dance class with some adult dancers. And because you
just don't meet anybody like dancers, they're they're a whole
different breed, you know.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Remind me, Yeah, it reminds me of Jane Fonda, right, remember.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
And my sister she's a little bit older than me,
but she still has like the Cindy Crawford workout on
the VH.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Does that work out?
Speaker 6 (25:01):
She's like, I don't even need the type anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
She's like, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Model you.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was always impressed with how Terry Sessions gain weight,
but I don't see her ever gaining weight.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I got to gain with But that's not what happened.
What happened is is that I had to stop competing
because my mom got dementia back in like two thousand
and one, so I started becoming that caretaker. So and
if anybody who's competed knows that the majority of competing
is the diet. I'm in the gym every single day,
but that diet has got to be on point and
(25:37):
it's got to be a science project. And so because
I couldn't put that time on my meal prepping and
doing stuff, I haven't been able to compete. My mom
passedway in January, and I and I owe it to
myself to get back on stage. That's why I was.
You know, I'm so great grateful that you said that
you did this as sixty because I just turned fifty eight,
and I keep thinking, you know what, God, you know
I need to get back and get that six pack back,
(25:59):
and I know what to do. You and I know
the lost well Brian one thing about the skin thing
which she was mentioning this.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
You don't realize.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So there issues when I saw you.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Okay, so let me.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Let me finish this thought. Because the issue is got
a lot of muscle like Linda did on my arms,
and because my diet wasn't there with the protein, because
the protein is so important, especially when you're older. You
need to get that amount of protein and people don't
realize it because you get skinny fat. So my arms
started to not have that muscle tone they did and
to not have this creepy skin going on. That's like
(26:37):
when I know that what I need to do is
to build that that muscle back and I can do
it to get back on stage, and like you know,
both you girls are like inspire me that, like, you
know what, I can do this again. I'm still here
I and I can do this. It's into my sixties.
I don't necessarily want to go for my pro card,
but I want to do this because it's a challenge
(26:58):
to myself that I can actually do this. And I
also because I work in the world of orthopedics and
I work with a lot of patients that have arthritis.
The number one thing that Shortinger lifesband is once you're immobile,
so in the gym every day because I see it
and I tell these patients everyday, you need whe your
knee braces, you need to stay mobile, you need to
(27:19):
stay active because once you are not, you get hearts problems.
And that is the key. Your knee health is so
important and it's just I can't even stress on the
fact of mobility being in health care. And I see
it firsthand with you know, even with my mother because
she basically got arthritis. Then she ended up being crippled
(27:40):
because she didn't want to get her knees done. Then
she got heart problems, and she got diabetes, and it
just escalates. So a lot of times, like you know,
everybody's what I want to distress is everybody's goals are
different in fitness. Some might be for joint health, some
might be for you know, Linda just wants to you know,
you know, for for whatever your goals are. You need
to do it for your yourself, but do it for
(28:00):
the right reasons, especially if you're competing, because competing can
be not the healthiest things. There's there's competitors out there
doing all kinds of drugs and doing all kinds of shortcuts,
and you know, I just it's not worth it in
the long run. You need to do it. Just stay
healthy and just stay strong and have you know, the
best quality of life as possible. That's just kind of
my own mind.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
You should see you should see the bikini Like everybody
is in bikini now, every single girl in the world
thinks she's a bikini model. I was shocked at the
Master's USA. Now they go from thirty five up by
the way, so thirty five and forty and I think
probably they around forty five ish they.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Start slimming down.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
But when I walked in the room for the orientation
just to use their microwave at the hotel, there must
have been two hundred.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Girls waiting to get on stage.
Speaker 12 (28:52):
I was like, oh, wow, day that category has gotten huge.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
Now it's yang well, that's I was.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
So proud of myself, Brian though and everybody because my
first show I was forty six years old. I got
up on stage at Muscle Beach. I didn't even expect
to win, and I was like, holy shit, I just went.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
I was like the best feeling ever.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So I know if I could do that forty six,
I can do it at fifty eight. And the thing
is is that sometimes you know you like for me,
for example, I got too skating, I lost a lot
of muscle, I went through like all this stuff that
I had to deal with. It's okay, I need to
forgive myself. It's like I can get back on this stage.
I'm still healthy, I can still do it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I tell you this. I was around Terry. She still
has her muscle definition. Yeah, he's still there. It's not
what she wants to be, but it's still there.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's not it's there because you muscle has memory. But
I'm not where I want to be for me, and
it's not for anybody else. It's for me. Can I
cause I know where I need to be to be
on stage to be my best. But I guess the
thing is is that my message is here is don't
give up. If you have gold, go do it. Don't
say oh, you're too old to do this, or like,
oh you know you've gained weight. You can't go back
(30:06):
to what you were. I mean, I had a relative
tell me you're never getting back on stage again. Wait here,
you're kiding yourself. I'm like, you know what, you just
gave me fuel to get back on that stage, you know,
and that's what I want to do. So but I guess,
don't ever give up.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Actually, Brian, I have a question for for Meredith.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Meredith, hold that thought, because Linda was going to follow
up with tom Days Okay.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Okay, well I was gonna I was going to say
a few things. My whole life everything that I've ever done.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
That's been successful, it's because somebody told me I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Wow. I need to know.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
I just need a reason. I just need one person.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah yeah, always show them what they said couldn't be done,
you know, And we talk about that most of the days.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Carol Meredith, just to I wanted to ask you, like,
you know, with the awards you've won, with being a dancer,
with being a mom with two kids and all the
things that you do, you work with such incredible people
across incredible industries.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
What's that like to work in so many.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Different industries with the incredible public relations that you do.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
You know, I do work with various verticals, but a
lot of the brands I work with and the talent
I work with, have some kind of creative streak. I
find myself like, very very drawn to people who have
a creative bent, even the ones that you wouldn't think
(31:52):
there's a creator. There's an art to what they do,
and so there's sort of this mutual thread that ties
us all together. I think from my dance background, writing
and art and the things that I've done in those genres,
I really do understand creating something and then wanting to
promote that thing that you've created.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
And so that's really what I love to do.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
That's where my heart is at, is really finding what
is so special about a brand, a person, and maybe
even something untapped that they haven't even realized, and just
amplifying that. So a lot of our agency is will
try to sort of reshape someone into being something that
(32:36):
they're not because they think that's the industry's standard.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
I have the opposite view.
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I think you take what's there and what is really
the thing about that brand or that person that makes
them so special and bring it out and amplify it
so it doesn't matter what genre you're in.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
That's what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
And Mareedith talk about America.
Speaker 14 (33:02):
Oh America, Oh your host on the red carpet?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
What you did for her?
Speaker 11 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Oh what I did for her?
Speaker 14 (33:11):
Okay, So let's see Maerica went to I think she's
gone to two different red carpet events now and has
been with a mic in her hand, and she is
like brand new I think at this right.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Brian, Yeah, she's she you know Laurie, you talk about
bikini model. She's the oldest, she's fifty six and she's
one the bikini. What is it. I think it's IFDD
something like that. Eight for eight years, so she holds
the record for that. And I found her at the
Mister Olympia and I said, she reminds me of Linda
Steele in a different way. And she was with Phil
(33:43):
from Aging Evolution, which is you know, Linda's being connected
with him now and lloy he's looking at you also
right now too, and Marry an investor publicist. So all
I'm doing is just putting everybody together. But I had
to get everybody back on this show. Thank you Linda
and Llaoye's from showing up and Meredith for being here
to connect everything because we wouldn't. We've been working behind
(34:04):
the scenes, Carol, Meredith and a couple other people are
putting all these things together for like what would I
want to do with Rachel and things like that, and
Howard in a different way, and Terry's coming along on
other things. So that's the good thing. So I sent
it to the Quentin Tarantino with the perfect gamble. You know,
Meredith wrote the story up and all of a sudden
things with Gangbusters for her and it was just I
(34:26):
wanted to say you need to be doing this outside
of what you don't know, meaning the fitness will you know,
it's just like Lloie, like what you did, you know,
going and starting your podcast. But MEREDI, I didn't mean
to interrupt you, but finish your thought about it, I ahead.
Speaker 14 (34:40):
I mean, she did a fantastic job, I think, especially
at the Perfect Gamble movie premiere when she interviewed Quentin
Tarantino and his wife. Daniella picked Tarantino, and I think
what she really brought out in them was she showed
how supportive Quentin is of his wife, and so that
(35:01):
when I posted about it and when we wrote the
article published, that's what we really highlighted. And then Daniella
ended up sharing that interview on her on her Instagram story,
so that that was that was great because that means
she liked it.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
She liked the coverage.
Speaker 14 (35:21):
And you know, I'm not trying to you know, put
people out in a galacious way, like I said, I
really like to find the best bits of people and
amplify those things. And that's what I saw in that
interview that Merka did. She really brought out that support
system that Daniella had in Quentin, and I think she
liked the coverage.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Yeah, I think I think you're very modest about one
of the things she've done, and not only for Sophia.
I'd love to hear you talk about that, talk talk
about the coteur dress designer.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
And then also the fact that you do amazing events
and you've specialized in very incredible, sophisticated, high end weddings
that has I think amplified your vision of what the
possibilities are for people.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
So I'd love to hear you talk about that.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Well.
Speaker 14 (36:21):
I was a wedding planner for ten years and there
is a time limit, I will say on wedding planning,
and my time came about twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
I said, okay, I'm about done with this.
Speaker 14 (36:35):
But I think what that keen years did do for
me was it helped me pay attention to the details.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
So I'm a detailed person.
Speaker 14 (36:45):
And I mean it was like in door doe situations
with weddings, you know, and you're dealing with I can
only imagine emotions and family drunk and it's all there,
you know. And so it did give me a very
unique skill set that I bring into what I do now. Sophia,
I'm so grateful to her because that's how I met Brian.
(37:09):
She had worn one of my clients to tour dresses
and she wore it on the red carpet and actually
Terry Marie had yes.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Yes, that.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Interview was at one point four million views in counting
right now.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Was a great, great toom Terry Marie on that interview.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (37:29):
And Sophia looked beautiful and we were putting out a
press release and so I found that video on YouTube,
I believe, and I contacted Brian. You know, I was
like trying to find him everywhere. I was sending him
dms on Facebook and Instagram.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Like hey, can I use this video?
Speaker 14 (37:46):
And he said yes, and he called me and I
was like, oh hello. And then from then on, you know,
Brian and I just you know, we had so much
in common and we became friends and you know, learned.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
What went to Little Rock, Arkansas? What am I doing
in Arkansas? But I'm so glad that I went because
I knew I wanted her, but I needed to meet her,
and I said, oh, I can do things with merative.
So Laurie. I don't know if you got my message
when I said I want Laurie to come down to
a FI. I wanted you to come down to America,
but I wanted you on that red carpet because I
(38:21):
wanted to full of you there, but I knew you
were busy doing stuff was.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Carpet.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I haven't given up with Lourie yet. No, she's coming back.
She's never gone away. Hey, talk about your experience of
what it was like for you on a former American
gladiator who's kind of got everybody up, going up again
in a way different way.
Speaker 11 (38:46):
Tell me what you say that again, Ask me that
more time.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
You know, you you it's like you brought some of
the original people back, you know, years later, and I
thought that was good. I gave you responsibility for that.
You know what they're what they're doing now because you
guys were always friends, you know.
Speaker 11 (39:01):
Yeah, we were always friends.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
We always stayed in touch, especially when we do that
the Netflix documentary Muscles in Mayhem. After that documentary, I
think that was like three years ago, we all just
kind of connected again.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
You know.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
We realized that, you know, when you work as a
you work as a unit like that, you do become
somewhat of a family, and you know, you have you
have the you know, the ones to fight, the ones
that you know what I was wanted the thing to do.
It's a typical family thing. But yeah, it brought us
closer together. And then they're actually releasing They just got
done filming about six months to eight months ago, the
(39:35):
New American Gladiators. They filmed in France, and each country
has their own their own Gladiators now and it's like
a franchise. And so since they were filming in France
and that was already set up. We all know how
California and the United States is. It's like they don't
want to pay the money here, it's too expensive. So
they took it all the way over to France. They
filmed it and it should be out on Prime next spring,
(39:58):
and it's going to be really interesting how it's perceived nowadays.
Think about it, because you know, thirty five years ago,
we were the first of its kind.
Speaker 11 (40:08):
We were like the first of the reality shows, you know.
So you know, the first time people saw muscular females
on TV. You know, it's like, WHOA, what's this? You know?
Speaker 12 (40:17):
And now I mean I don't I don't know, are
they gonna wrap them in bubble wrap?
Speaker 11 (40:22):
So no, because hurt.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
I don't know, but you know, with all the safety
issues and everything out there, I don't come out of.
Speaker 11 (40:33):
Next year.
Speaker 12 (40:34):
So but again, you know, they didn't want anything to
do with us. My agent tried to get me just
either if it was a commentator backstage or something, you know,
to kind of bridge that gap between generations, and they
were like, nope, don't want anything to do with the originals.
And we just figured that was a really big missed opportunity.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
You know, have any yeah, have any of you gone
over to the Ninja series or participated with.
Speaker 11 (41:00):
God No, that just looks way too hard.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
You have the parkour and all of that pans Well.
Speaker 12 (41:06):
Interesting enough, the American nine Warrior Obstacle course was an
off take of our eliminator.
Speaker 11 (41:13):
At the very end of our show.
Speaker 12 (41:15):
They took our eliminator and they went, oh, great, idea,
let's create a show around us and really make it insane.
But if you look at the American engin woyer, I
mean they have to have upper body. I mean they
have to have hand strength. Everything is hand strength. The
heavier the person is, the less they go because the
lighter they are, they can just you know, the upper body. Yeah, exactly,
so I had no.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
I'm sorry you could probably think that in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I mean, yeah, we got to take a look.
Speaker 10 (41:47):
I wasn't asked Lauria question.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
I was going to ask, when did you Usually there's
like a life changing event that gives people in the gym,
and you know, a goal of getting fit and becoming
this you know, fitness model that you are.
Speaker 10 (42:01):
What did you have a life event that happened?
Speaker 11 (42:04):
They know, Linda.
Speaker 12 (42:05):
I wish that I could say yes, But the reality
of it is is that I was an athlete ever
since I was in fourth grade.
Speaker 11 (42:12):
Playing softball, and so I played softball.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
Every single year, and by the time I got to
high school, my whole bowl was making varsity softball, Ark
City of Basketball, and the varsity's volleyball. I wanted to
let her in all three of those, and I actually
did in high school. So after high school, to be honest,
I was just kind of like, oh my god, what
do I do? Because I didn't get a chance to
go to college. My parents didn't think I was serious.
(42:35):
The money wasn't there the whole shot. So I had
to start working right away, and I was doing an
eight to five, you know job like everybody else, and
so I started going to the gym at lunchtime just
to burn off some energy. And I did remember the
old Nautilust equipment and everything else, and people were just
doing aerobics and all the guys were in the weight room.
(42:56):
Modne over to the weight room and started lifting. And
then I stayed there for maybe three months, and then
I went to another gym around the corner, which was
a really serious gym, you kind of sort of say,
and it really all it took was one person that said,
oh my god, you have the genetics and the symmetry
to do bodybuilding.
Speaker 11 (43:13):
Have ever thought about it? And I'm like, what's that?
And that kind of is.
Speaker 12 (43:17):
What started it. So there wasn't this life changing event.
The only life changing event was is when I was
working age five and I was back there. We were
doing accounting, you know, we were doing accounting with ledgers
and pencils, and I'll be honest, I'm sorry, but I
looked at the women back there and they had been
sitting there and I don't mean that this is not
(43:38):
a mean thing, but they were very very large, and
I went, I might or do something, and it kind
of like that was the only thing that really, if
you want to say any kind of changing was it
scared me enough to realize I can't sit, you know, so,
and then I just continued.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Lorie, talk about where you're at with your children's books
series right now.
Speaker 12 (44:05):
The children book series was kind of a passion project,
the Playground lawyors.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
I always wanted to create it. I wanted to create
a series.
Speaker 12 (44:12):
And you know, I self published it, like I told
you guys when I was on here last time. And
it's kind of it's in a way, kind of on
hiatus as far as doing more of a series because
everything got so busy this year. So I depending on
next year where I'm at and how things are moving along.
(44:33):
I would like to do another you know, playground playground
order book. But right now it's just kind of like
it's it's out there, you know, I talk about it
a lot. It's a fun passion project, and you know
that's really where that's at.
Speaker 11 (44:48):
Not too much, it's not really anywhere.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
I gotta I gotta show this clip. We'll be right back,
and Howard were coming to you when we come back,
all right.
Speaker 15 (44:56):
Whusic Meats Boxing. It's family friendly and fun for all ages.
Whether you're here for the fight or the fiddle, there's
something for everyone. See professional fighters go toe to toe
(45:16):
in real championship bousing well being able to listen to
incredible live performances from some of country music's rising stars.
Country Box brings you a one of a kind experience,
blending adrenaline pumping championship boxing with the heart of live
(45:36):
country music. Country box where music meets boxing.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
So I have a feeling that Jimmy's he's working on
moboxing now. So he's bringing boxing not only from Tennessee
but to Motown now. So he's working on that and
talk about having a billion emails, a billion emails. When
I talked to him yesterday, Brian, I got twenty one
thousand emails sitting in front of me. Can you send
the Lincoln Fron Yes, I will, well he literally does.
So it's a country it's a it's a country box thing.
(46:04):
It's actually really good to see. I am not a
box event. Yeah, yeah with that, I teach you for
seven where we have forty four million views on that's
one of those things where if we hadn't gone there,
we wouldn't have that outlet there. So I'm really thankful
for Jimmy and his family and it's a family affair
that everybody goes in. And his wife, Ashley, she's actually
(46:25):
in there telling the boxes what to do. She's like
that ring trainer, which I find fascinating, and she's gorgeous
and it's one of those things. While she's a tough
woman that put up with Jimmy. But you know that's that.
So that's coming up December. Second.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
That almost a minute you went on itube two forty seven,
you had forty million views instantly pretty much.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
It's forty four. Now, come on, Carol, keep up. That's
quarter four. Now that's a big thing. Howard Wiggins, we
got a couple of minutes left. You lose weight by
dancing and walking. Talk about that.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Actually I lost well.
Speaker 7 (47:03):
I used to be one hundred pounds heavy of your
decades ago and never did gain it back. But I
just went on Atkins basically, and the more compliments I guy,
then I started walking, and I just kept doing more
and more and more, and I ever really gained it back.
And I don't stay on it. I just do it
when I need to do it. So but that's what
(47:24):
I did. I mean that I'm seventy two now and
nobody ever gets my age.

Brian Sebastian, and everybody here is movie reviews and more.
We will see you next week.
This program is designed to provide general information with regards

professional service, or any advice. You should seek the services
(00:23):
of competent professionals before applying or trying any suggested ideas.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hey, there is Bryan some bashing movie reviews and more.
And I love this when people just pop up, like
a Linda Steel or a Howard. A surprise Tash is
not here. We wouldn't have any room.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The good thing about this is that this show again
has been booked for over four months. Originally Jimmy Adams
Laurie was always gonna be on it, and then we
added narrative. And this is a good thing. I knew
Rachel's gonna be on it, Howard was gonna be on
it some kind of way. I didn't know Linda Steele
was gonna come on. I'm glad Linda Steele's here. We're
gonna make it about fitness because there's a beautiful, beautiful
(01:38):
woman on here. As usual, I'm not talking about ice
I'm talking about everybody else only kidding. Lord, It's one
of those things where you can get on stage and
do what she did, and when you can be merited
and do what she does, and when you can cook
and you know, do what Rachel does, because Rachel does
a lot of great stuff too besides her coffee talk.
And then Carol, you know my you know, I call
(01:58):
her my show wife because we talk about everything and
she kind of like keeps me in line in a way,
you know, calm down, and I'm like, yeah, I will.
And then Howard anytime if we have Howard sound Howard,
do we have sound on you in Tennessee? Yeah, okay,
because we never know because we need to hear you.
So again, this is always off the couple. But again,
(02:21):
you know, I'm glad that Llie's here. Congratulations to her
winning and being out there and being over sixty and
doing what she's doing. I mean, I think she looks
better now than she was when she was younger.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, looking at you Ice and just saying, wow, she's hot.
I'm like, well, she always was, but she speak. But
you know, when you've got that children's book and you
got the playground, warriors and everything else going like that,
and living fit for kids if I remember, or a
healthy living for kids, which is most important. That's what
it's about. And so the fact that she got on stage,
(02:57):
I know that must not have been easy because I
kept seeing the definition of everything and I kept saying
I got to introduce her to Linda Steele because at
one point Linda Steele was one of the best in
the country as a trainer. She is that international best
selling author and she never gets to come on a
show because you know why, I because she's always training somebody.
So I think she's in the gym now a matter
(03:19):
of fact. So here's the thing, all right, So we
live on talk for in Media K for HD radio.
What am I missing? I'm missing everything live on ITT

for TV, Talk for Media K for HD radio. There's

keep me in check. I don't know what the tell
I'm doing half the time. And I'm glad that Terry's
here because it's kind of about fitness, and then Meredith.
We couldn't have done a lot of stuff without Meredith.
She's kind of like, he's kind of like my my
opposite of Carol. So she is that award winner Maritor.
I'm just putting you on the spot. I'm not going
to talk about all the great things that you want
(04:04):

Ice and Meritive, We're going to get to YouTube now
because it's really important. It's always about women empowerment, being fit, looking,
good doing those events, making sure you get the right
publicity and all of those things like that, and also
(09:36):
chilling with Ice. So GLORI, let's talk about what you've
been doing since the last time you were there. I'm
putting you on the spot because that you know, the heels.
I don't know how you walked in those high heel heels,
but you made it work. And I was like, you're
gonna fall.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
First of all, I'm never gonna fall. Second of all.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Yeah, it was a whole other animal because I haven't
I haven't competed in thirty five years, and everybody's like,
what inspired you?
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Why did you.
Speaker 12 (10:02):
Get back up on stage. I was at a I
was at a video shoot with v Shred, and one
of the girls was probably like two to three weeks out.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
Now, mind you, she's like twenty four.
Speaker 12 (10:12):
And I kept looking at her and watching her, looking
at her, going that was my body when I was
twenty eight years old.
Speaker 11 (10:19):
You know. I was just like that was me.
Speaker 12 (10:21):
And then somebody looked at me and there like that's
still your body, you.
Speaker 11 (10:24):
Know, Well, yeah, I give you.
Speaker 12 (10:28):
But I got so inspired by her that I literally
just one day I called up Wendy fourteen oh, which
is an IFBB pro figure and she's a friend of
mine and I said, hey, I said, can I do
your show right now? She's like, oh, hell yeah, and
so hired her, did some prep for about three months,
(10:48):
jumped on stage. I won that show. But then four
weeks later the big plan was the US, the Master's USA,
and I asked, they thought there was a sixty plus category,
and there's not.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
There's a thirty.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Plus should be, Yeah, there should be.
Speaker 12 (11:06):
And so I'm sixty two, so I was competing with
fifty year old and there's a huge difference. I'm sorry,
but there is a difference between fifty and sixty year
old when you get on stage. So I placed fourth
in the Masters in my category, which there was like
probably seven girls in there.
Speaker 11 (11:24):
I was, I was.
Speaker 12 (11:25):
Okay with it, but not really and so and it
came down to my posing and I realized that, and
so I'm going to hire a posing coach and I'm
gonna do another one in July because I can get
my pro card and I know that, and in July
that it is a sixty and over, so I'll be
competing with apples to apples, you know. But it was
(11:47):
an experience, Brian, I'll be honest, because when I competed,
we were just in one category and that's called bodybuilding,
and we were barefoot. So when you put these five
and heels on and go to pose, it changes the
dynamics of your body to actually hit those poses.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
And a lot of people don't understand that.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
But because of the way that you're angled and you're standing,
you don't have that nice gravity. I mean that you
know the floor underneath you. It's day and night, it
really is. But I was still I was still very
I was very happy, very proud with my accomplishment. You know,
I didn't think that I was going to lose as
(12:25):
much weight as I did. My metabolism just went on
fire after three months and wow, the last month, most
people are like starving going into a show.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
I was eating non stop.
Speaker 12 (12:39):
I was car bloating three a day for a month,
trying to put the weight back on because in my
first five team and I think I came into thin,
so I only was maybe I was putting. I maybe
put on like three pounds in a month by just
car bloating.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
And even that, you know, is.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's crazy, like you hadn't trained in a number of years,
and so going in with the discipline and the training
being at sixty what what did you notice?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
What did you really like?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I totally get what you're saying about the forward motion
in the high heels, because I'm a former high level
gymnastics judge and clinician and totally get that. But yeah,
you know that level of discipline that it normally takes
to get ready for a show, that right, water loading
(13:36):
all of that and you having to really feed your
metabolism is super interesting.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
What did you notice there?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
Well, I noticed that obviously. Okay, I'm going to be worried.
I'll be with everybody. Here's the thing I lost.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I went from eighteen percent bodies at down to nine
point five.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Now, mind you, between let's say twelve and nine, there's
called the skin issue. The body fat that I lost
and the muscle that I have. My skin was like, well,
we're not going to catch up with you right now.
So the elasticity that we have when we're young and
(14:20):
your body just bounces back like that when you get older,
as we all know, in your skin, isn't that wonderful
like bouncey elasticity?
Speaker 11 (14:29):
So I struggled with right up.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
Underneath my butt, and I was just like, when I
saw that, I was like, oh, you know, at that
point in time, there's nothing you can do about it.
And so when I went backstage at the Masters and
saw the USA, I swear to god, I wasn't looking
at because I knew I had the girls on their
shoulders and you know, I was walking around backstage looking
like looking at their butts, going they're a little Okay,
(14:56):
their skin isn't the best either, Okay, that's not the best.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I don't know the rules. Are you allowed to use tape?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
No?
Speaker 12 (15:06):
I wish The bathing suits are so skimpy. I mean
it's basically almost like the back end was only like
maybe three inches, so you.
Speaker 11 (15:17):
Couldn't even talk your full or anything.
Speaker 12 (15:20):
Yeah, you're exposed on stage. But what I think I
learned from the whole process is actually, I mean I've
been training. I never stopped training for ever, so I
did have that muscle tone. But it's not like I
took six months to a year and went, Okay, I'm
going to do a show in a year. I'm really
(15:40):
going to hone in on my legs and my butt.
Definition of my back. I just kind of on a
win win, Let's just see what I can do. So
with that being said, I felt pretty proud of where
I came in and where I landed. I was always
very strict on my diet anyway, So I just stopped
eating dirty like any a fast Jersey Mike sub in
(16:02):
the afternoon.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Maybe I just.
Speaker 12 (16:04):
Stopped all that and went strictly, you know, just you know,
chicken and rice and fish, and I was. I was
eating flat mignon every single day all the way up
until my show.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It's thirty diet, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
It's a what oh do.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You know the whole thirty.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Whole thirty is like no grains, no dairy, It's you
know a lot of just like God's green Earth vegetables, fruits, protein.
Speaker 11 (16:30):
But my diet was so I mean, I did what
it was called carblot flooding.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
Okay, yeah, carb cycling, not carblet and carb cycling. So
I'd go three more macros only macros yeaheah, So three
days on I'd have fifty grounds of carbs. And I've
always tried to stay at one eighty protein. Yeah, so
he tried to get me. My coach at two twenty
five and I was like, oh my god, I have
to wake up at six in the morning to eat
all this protein, you know. But so my protein always
(16:57):
stayed the same. At one eighty. My fast usually I
was the same, which I tried to take in at
least forty to fifty, which was just basically avocados and
made a little olive oil. But my carbs was the
big one. So I go for three days fifty grands
of carbs and that a high carb, and then I
do a high carved day of two hundred and then
I'm back down to low carbs for fifty fifty and
(17:19):
then another high carb and one cheat meal Saturday night
and then repeat the process. I just repeated that process
for three months.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
So freaking out the body that makes it, you know,
lose and.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
Absolutely is what happens. Is anybody who understands a body.
We're talking with glcagin levels and the muscle, how you
deplete them, how you refill them, all that kind of
fun scientific shit that goes on that I learned a
lot about and it was fascinating and it works and everything.
You know, people that come back to me and they're
just like I can't lose weight, And I go, have
(17:54):
you ever tried carb cycling?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:56):
You know, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It's feel talk about that.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
Uh, you know, I don't train bodybuilders, h so what
I but I do know that system and it does work,
and that's.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
What they do when they're, you know, getting close to
show ready.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
My program is a forty forty twenty split every day
whether you work out or not and protein.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
And so for somebody like me who eats like you.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Know, twenty twenty five hundred calories a day, it's about
two hundred grams one aged to two hundred grams of
protein every day, about the same carbs and about maybe
fifty or so rams of that something like that.
Speaker 11 (18:43):
You know, it almost sounds the same.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Yeah, it's very very similar to what you're what you do?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Then, what are your secrets to getting in all that protein?
That's yeah, that's more.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
Yeah, But I mean, I guess you can contest to
this too, but I really do something because it's she's
a lot younger than I am.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
Who's a younger now? That very well.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
But you know it's funny because when I was doing bodybuilding,
for some reason, everybody believed, oh, your body can only
assimilate twenty five to thirty.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Remember that that I can scream every time.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
I remember that was that we had to overcome.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
So you know I could you could take in fifty
grams of protein and one meal.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And every meal. Yes, I know it is.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
You have to start eating early. You have to start
eating breakfast. Those of you who are like, oh, but
I'm not hungry for single morning, it's because you've trained
yourself not to.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Be hungry and you have to eat it.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
Your your your body has stopped producing digestive enzymes because
you don't eat. Yeah, enzymes are there on a as
needed basis. So if you're going to put food in
your body, then they go, oh, okay, I have to
be doing this every day because I know she's going
to beat me at at six o'clock in the morning.
So so if you if you aren't hungry in the morning,
(20:03):
what I recommend is that you start drinking a protein
shake first.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
First thing in the morning.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Start drinking, because then your body starts getting used to
you putting food in your system.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
For now you're starting to you'll start waking up hungry.
Speaker 11 (20:16):
It's interesting you say that too, because at the.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Beginning he had me like he'd have me fill up
a cup three fourths of egg whites. You know, I'd
just go buy the egg whites, three fourths of a
cup of egg whites, and then two full eggs. Well,
when I did the three fourth cups, I realized that
was like eight egg whites. I had this plate of eggs.
I was like, I can't took this down. And I
started learning to put things in it, like I'd slice
(20:40):
my onions up and slice my tomatoes up. And then
after about three weeks it took up three weeks.
Speaker 11 (20:46):
To a month. You're absolutely right. I started waking up
in the morning.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Darving, carving a memory.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
You realize that now you're eating more, Now you're working
out harder, Now you're this the morning.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Now you have the repair process going on.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Now you're angry again, and now your metabolism is firing.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
I get supposed to.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
It's like it's very cyclical.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
You start eating, you guys, work supplement with protein powders
or anything like that.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Bone r.
Speaker 12 (21:12):
I only have one protein powder shake and that's right
after my workout, and that's I drink.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I drink a shake first thing in the morning with
spinach spinach, carrots, berries, beets, super protein powder and some collagen.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I put one of.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
Those mushrooms into and so I drink that first thing
in the morning, and then I go into my eggs,
and then I go into my fruit. And then sometimes
at some point during the day I'll have a protein
shape just because it's I'll be in between clients and
I don't have a lot of time, you know, So
I'll drink the shake maybe sometimes, and I drink the
(21:51):
chocolate ones that.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
You know, if I have a sweet tooth chocolate shak.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So you don't like, yeah, you can't see Linda, but
Linda is actually Barbie Mnus the blonde here Linda.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Yeah, she will not go on the show and show it.
But Linda's got one of these bodies that you just
can't take your eyes off because she looks like I
don't know, it's like a I don't know. You just
don't see a body like that. And she never never you. Yeah,
you know, you can't tell because she's always sitting down
and she covers up with clothes.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But I'm like, come on, show, get.
Speaker 11 (22:23):
Up on the table.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And it's been around I mean.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Are you kidding? I can't I can see her.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I mean, well, Linda, Linda, I'm gonna a little bit.
Let us come on, Linda.
Speaker 13 (22:51):
Yes, yeah, you work out a different way and you
look really good as that that that person who has
to be presentable when you come to events and strategy.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's sort of being behind the scene. But you can't
hide it. I saw that in Arkansas. You can't hide
what you do either.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
I mean, and I was a dancer when I was younger,
and you know, like as a little girl, jazz tap
bala like most little girls do. And then I started
ballroom dancing with front of Stair Dance Studio, a very
different type of dance.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
But that's kind of my workout now.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You know.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
I moved away from you know, kids, got married, got
you know, really involved with my job, and quit working
out for a while, and so I picked it back
up around twenty twenty and now I work out about
two hours a day and I just do it in
my home and it's a very I call it like
you know, if you were if you were around in
(23:59):
the eighties, it's like the Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Wall That's what I'm doing in my house every day.
And I like it and it's fun.
Speaker 14 (24:08):
And I have been to a local dance class within
the past year or so that I really enjoyed, and
I wish I could be more regular at getting into
it because the ladies were awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I was like, maybe these are my people.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
I need to come back, But yeah, that community would
be great. That's one thing I'm hoping to get more
into is more of the community aspect and getting an
actual dance class with some adult dancers. And because you
just don't meet anybody like dancers, they're they're a whole
different breed, you know.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Remind me, Yeah, it reminds me of Jane Fonda, right, remember.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
And my sister she's a little bit older than me,
but she still has like the Cindy Crawford workout on
the VH.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Does that work out?
Speaker 6 (25:01):
She's like, I don't even need the type anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
She's like, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Model you.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was always impressed with how Terry Sessions gain weight,
but I don't see her ever gaining weight.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I got to gain with But that's not what happened.
What happened is is that I had to stop competing
because my mom got dementia back in like two thousand
and one, so I started becoming that caretaker. So and
if anybody who's competed knows that the majority of competing
is the diet. I'm in the gym every single day,
but that diet has got to be on point and
(25:37):
it's got to be a science project. And so because
I couldn't put that time on my meal prepping and
doing stuff, I haven't been able to compete. My mom
passedway in January, and I and I owe it to
myself to get back on stage. That's why I was.
You know, I'm so great grateful that you said that
you did this as sixty because I just turned fifty eight,
and I keep thinking, you know what, God, you know
I need to get back and get that six pack back,
(25:59):
and I know what to do. You and I know
the lost well Brian one thing about the skin thing
which she was mentioning this.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
You don't realize.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So there issues when I saw you.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Okay, so let me.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Let me finish this thought. Because the issue is got
a lot of muscle like Linda did on my arms,
and because my diet wasn't there with the protein, because
the protein is so important, especially when you're older. You
need to get that amount of protein and people don't
realize it because you get skinny fat. So my arms
started to not have that muscle tone they did and
to not have this creepy skin going on. That's like
(26:37):
when I know that what I need to do is
to build that that muscle back and I can do
it to get back on stage, and like you know,
both you girls are like inspire me that, like, you
know what, I can do this again. I'm still here
I and I can do this. It's into my sixties.
I don't necessarily want to go for my pro card,
but I want to do this because it's a challenge
(26:58):
to myself that I can actually do this. And I
also because I work in the world of orthopedics and
I work with a lot of patients that have arthritis.
The number one thing that Shortinger lifesband is once you're immobile,
so in the gym every day because I see it
and I tell these patients everyday, you need whe your
knee braces, you need to stay mobile, you need to
(27:19):
stay active because once you are not, you get hearts problems.
And that is the key. Your knee health is so
important and it's just I can't even stress on the
fact of mobility being in health care. And I see
it firsthand with you know, even with my mother because
she basically got arthritis. Then she ended up being crippled
(27:40):
because she didn't want to get her knees done. Then
she got heart problems, and she got diabetes, and it
just escalates. So a lot of times, like you know,
everybody's what I want to distress is everybody's goals are
different in fitness. Some might be for joint health, some
might be for you know, Linda just wants to you know,
you know, for for whatever your goals are. You need
to do it for your yourself, but do it for
(28:00):
the right reasons, especially if you're competing, because competing can
be not the healthiest things. There's there's competitors out there
doing all kinds of drugs and doing all kinds of shortcuts,
and you know, I just it's not worth it in
the long run. You need to do it. Just stay
healthy and just stay strong and have you know, the
best quality of life as possible. That's just kind of
my own mind.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
You should see you should see the bikini Like everybody
is in bikini now, every single girl in the world
thinks she's a bikini model. I was shocked at the
Master's USA. Now they go from thirty five up by
the way, so thirty five and forty and I think
probably they around forty five ish they.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Start slimming down.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
But when I walked in the room for the orientation
just to use their microwave at the hotel, there must
have been two hundred.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Girls waiting to get on stage.
Speaker 12 (28:52):
I was like, oh, wow, day that category has gotten huge.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
Now it's yang well, that's I was.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
So proud of myself, Brian though and everybody because my
first show I was forty six years old. I got
up on stage at Muscle Beach. I didn't even expect
to win, and I was like, holy shit, I just went.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
I was like the best feeling ever.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So I know if I could do that forty six,
I can do it at fifty eight. And the thing
is is that sometimes you know you like for me,
for example, I got too skating, I lost a lot
of muscle, I went through like all this stuff that
I had to deal with. It's okay, I need to
forgive myself. It's like I can get back on this stage.
I'm still healthy, I can still do it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I tell you this. I was around Terry. She still
has her muscle definition. Yeah, he's still there. It's not
what she wants to be, but it's still there.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's not it's there because you muscle has memory. But
I'm not where I want to be for me, and
it's not for anybody else. It's for me. Can I
cause I know where I need to be to be
on stage to be my best. But I guess the
thing is is that my message is here is don't
give up. If you have gold, go do it. Don't
say oh, you're too old to do this, or like,
oh you know you've gained weight. You can't go back
(30:06):
to what you were. I mean, I had a relative
tell me you're never getting back on stage again. Wait here,
you're kiding yourself. I'm like, you know what, you just
gave me fuel to get back on that stage, you know,
and that's what I want to do. So but I guess,
don't ever give up.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Actually, Brian, I have a question for for Meredith.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Meredith, hold that thought, because Linda was going to follow
up with tom Days Okay.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Okay, well I was gonna I was going to say
a few things. My whole life everything that I've ever done.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
That's been successful, it's because somebody told me I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Wow. I need to know.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
I just need a reason. I just need one person.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah yeah, always show them what they said couldn't be done,
you know, And we talk about that most of the days.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Carol Meredith, just to I wanted to ask you, like,
you know, with the awards you've won, with being a dancer,
with being a mom with two kids and all the
things that you do, you work with such incredible people
across incredible industries.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
What's that like to work in so many.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Different industries with the incredible public relations that you do.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
You know, I do work with various verticals, but a
lot of the brands I work with and the talent
I work with, have some kind of creative streak. I
find myself like, very very drawn to people who have
a creative bent, even the ones that you wouldn't think
(31:52):
there's a creator. There's an art to what they do,
and so there's sort of this mutual thread that ties
us all together. I think from my dance background, writing
and art and the things that I've done in those genres,
I really do understand creating something and then wanting to
promote that thing that you've created.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
And so that's really what I love to do.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
That's where my heart is at, is really finding what
is so special about a brand, a person, and maybe
even something untapped that they haven't even realized, and just
amplifying that. So a lot of our agency is will
try to sort of reshape someone into being something that
(32:36):
they're not because they think that's the industry's standard.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
I have the opposite view.
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I think you take what's there and what is really
the thing about that brand or that person that makes
them so special and bring it out and amplify it
so it doesn't matter what genre you're in.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
That's what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
And Mareedith talk about America.
Speaker 14 (33:02):
Oh America, Oh your host on the red carpet?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
What you did for her?
Speaker 11 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Oh what I did for her?
Speaker 14 (33:11):
Okay, So let's see Maerica went to I think she's
gone to two different red carpet events now and has
been with a mic in her hand, and she is
like brand new I think at this right.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Brian, Yeah, she's she you know Laurie, you talk about
bikini model. She's the oldest, she's fifty six and she's
one the bikini. What is it. I think it's IFDD
something like that. Eight for eight years, so she holds
the record for that. And I found her at the
Mister Olympia and I said, she reminds me of Linda
Steele in a different way. And she was with Phil
(33:43):
from Aging Evolution, which is you know, Linda's being connected
with him now and lloy he's looking at you also
right now too, and Marry an investor publicist. So all
I'm doing is just putting everybody together. But I had
to get everybody back on this show. Thank you Linda
and Llaoye's from showing up and Meredith for being here
to connect everything because we wouldn't. We've been working behind
(34:04):
the scenes, Carol, Meredith and a couple other people are
putting all these things together for like what would I
want to do with Rachel and things like that, and
Howard in a different way, and Terry's coming along on
other things. So that's the good thing. So I sent
it to the Quentin Tarantino with the perfect gamble. You know,
Meredith wrote the story up and all of a sudden
things with Gangbusters for her and it was just I
(34:26):
wanted to say you need to be doing this outside
of what you don't know, meaning the fitness will you know,
it's just like Lloie, like what you did, you know,
going and starting your podcast. But MEREDI, I didn't mean
to interrupt you, but finish your thought about it, I ahead.
Speaker 14 (34:40):
I mean, she did a fantastic job, I think, especially
at the Perfect Gamble movie premiere when she interviewed Quentin
Tarantino and his wife. Daniella picked Tarantino, and I think
what she really brought out in them was she showed
how supportive Quentin is of his wife, and so that
(35:01):
when I posted about it and when we wrote the
article published, that's what we really highlighted. And then Daniella
ended up sharing that interview on her on her Instagram story,
so that that was that was great because that means
she liked it.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
She liked the coverage.
Speaker 14 (35:21):
And you know, I'm not trying to you know, put
people out in a galacious way, like I said, I
really like to find the best bits of people and
amplify those things. And that's what I saw in that
interview that Merka did. She really brought out that support
system that Daniella had in Quentin, and I think she
liked the coverage.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Yeah, I think I think you're very modest about one
of the things she've done, and not only for Sophia.
I'd love to hear you talk about that, talk talk
about the coteur dress designer.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
And then also the fact that you do amazing events
and you've specialized in very incredible, sophisticated, high end weddings
that has I think amplified your vision of what the
possibilities are for people.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
So I'd love to hear you talk about that.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Well.
Speaker 14 (36:21):
I was a wedding planner for ten years and there
is a time limit, I will say on wedding planning,
and my time came about twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
I said, okay, I'm about done with this.
Speaker 14 (36:35):
But I think what that keen years did do for
me was it helped me pay attention to the details.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
So I'm a detailed person.
Speaker 14 (36:45):
And I mean it was like in door doe situations
with weddings, you know, and you're dealing with I can
only imagine emotions and family drunk and it's all there,
you know. And so it did give me a very
unique skill set that I bring into what I do now. Sophia,
I'm so grateful to her because that's how I met Brian.
(37:09):
She had worn one of my clients to tour dresses
and she wore it on the red carpet and actually
Terry Marie had yes.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Yes, that.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Interview was at one point four million views in counting
right now.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Was a great, great toom Terry Marie on that interview.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (37:29):
And Sophia looked beautiful and we were putting out a
press release and so I found that video on YouTube,
I believe, and I contacted Brian. You know, I was
like trying to find him everywhere. I was sending him
dms on Facebook and Instagram.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Like hey, can I use this video?
Speaker 14 (37:46):
And he said yes, and he called me and I
was like, oh hello. And then from then on, you know,
Brian and I just you know, we had so much
in common and we became friends and you know, learned.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
What went to Little Rock, Arkansas? What am I doing
in Arkansas? But I'm so glad that I went because
I knew I wanted her, but I needed to meet her,
and I said, oh, I can do things with merative.
So Laurie. I don't know if you got my message
when I said I want Laurie to come down to
a FI. I wanted you to come down to America,
but I wanted you on that red carpet because I
(38:21):
wanted to full of you there, but I knew you
were busy doing stuff was.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Carpet.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I haven't given up with Lourie yet. No, she's coming back.
She's never gone away. Hey, talk about your experience of
what it was like for you on a former American
gladiator who's kind of got everybody up, going up again
in a way different way.
Speaker 11 (38:46):
Tell me what you say that again, Ask me that
more time.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
You know, you you it's like you brought some of
the original people back, you know, years later, and I
thought that was good. I gave you responsibility for that.
You know what they're what they're doing now because you
guys were always friends, you know.
Speaker 11 (39:01):
Yeah, we were always friends.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
We always stayed in touch, especially when we do that
the Netflix documentary Muscles in Mayhem. After that documentary, I
think that was like three years ago, we all just
kind of connected again.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
You know.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
We realized that, you know, when you work as a
you work as a unit like that, you do become
somewhat of a family, and you know, you have you
have the you know, the ones to fight, the ones
that you know what I was wanted the thing to do.
It's a typical family thing. But yeah, it brought us
closer together. And then they're actually releasing They just got
done filming about six months to eight months ago, the
(39:35):
New American Gladiators. They filmed in France, and each country
has their own their own Gladiators now and it's like
a franchise. And so since they were filming in France
and that was already set up. We all know how
California and the United States is. It's like they don't
want to pay the money here, it's too expensive. So
they took it all the way over to France. They
filmed it and it should be out on Prime next spring,
(39:58):
and it's going to be really interesting how it's perceived nowadays.
Think about it, because you know, thirty five years ago,
we were the first of its kind.
Speaker 11 (40:08):
We were like the first of the reality shows, you know.
So you know, the first time people saw muscular females
on TV. You know, it's like, WHOA, what's this? You know?
Speaker 12 (40:17):
And now I mean I don't I don't know, are
they gonna wrap them in bubble wrap?
Speaker 11 (40:22):
So no, because hurt.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
I don't know, but you know, with all the safety
issues and everything out there, I don't come out of.
Speaker 11 (40:33):
Next year.
Speaker 12 (40:34):
So but again, you know, they didn't want anything to
do with us. My agent tried to get me just
either if it was a commentator backstage or something, you know,
to kind of bridge that gap between generations, and they
were like, nope, don't want anything to do with the originals.
And we just figured that was a really big missed opportunity.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
You know, have any yeah, have any of you gone
over to the Ninja series or participated with.
Speaker 11 (41:00):
God No, that just looks way too hard.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
You have the parkour and all of that pans Well.
Speaker 12 (41:06):
Interesting enough, the American nine Warrior Obstacle course was an
off take of our eliminator.
Speaker 11 (41:13):
At the very end of our show.
Speaker 12 (41:15):
They took our eliminator and they went, oh, great, idea,
let's create a show around us and really make it insane.
But if you look at the American engin woyer, I
mean they have to have upper body. I mean they
have to have hand strength. Everything is hand strength. The
heavier the person is, the less they go because the
lighter they are, they can just you know, the upper body. Yeah, exactly,
so I had no.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
I'm sorry you could probably think that in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I mean, yeah, we got to take a look.
Speaker 10 (41:47):
I wasn't asked Lauria question.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
I was going to ask, when did you Usually there's
like a life changing event that gives people in the gym,
and you know, a goal of getting fit and becoming
this you know, fitness model that you are.
Speaker 10 (42:01):
What did you have a life event that happened?
Speaker 11 (42:04):
They know, Linda.
Speaker 12 (42:05):
I wish that I could say yes, But the reality
of it is is that I was an athlete ever
since I was in fourth grade.
Speaker 11 (42:12):
Playing softball, and so I played softball.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
Every single year, and by the time I got to
high school, my whole bowl was making varsity softball, Ark
City of Basketball, and the varsity's volleyball. I wanted to
let her in all three of those, and I actually
did in high school. So after high school, to be honest,
I was just kind of like, oh my god, what
do I do? Because I didn't get a chance to
go to college. My parents didn't think I was serious.
(42:35):
The money wasn't there the whole shot. So I had
to start working right away, and I was doing an
eight to five, you know job like everybody else, and
so I started going to the gym at lunchtime just
to burn off some energy. And I did remember the
old Nautilust equipment and everything else, and people were just
doing aerobics and all the guys were in the weight room.
(42:56):
Modne over to the weight room and started lifting. And
then I stayed there for maybe three months, and then
I went to another gym around the corner, which was
a really serious gym, you kind of sort of say,
and it really all it took was one person that said,
oh my god, you have the genetics and the symmetry
to do bodybuilding.
Speaker 11 (43:13):
Have ever thought about it? And I'm like, what's that?
And that kind of is.
Speaker 12 (43:17):
What started it. So there wasn't this life changing event.
The only life changing event was is when I was
working age five and I was back there. We were
doing accounting, you know, we were doing accounting with ledgers
and pencils, and I'll be honest, I'm sorry, but I
looked at the women back there and they had been
sitting there and I don't mean that this is not
(43:38):
a mean thing, but they were very very large, and
I went, I might or do something, and it kind
of like that was the only thing that really, if
you want to say any kind of changing was it
scared me enough to realize I can't sit, you know, so,
and then I just continued.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Lorie, talk about where you're at with your children's books
series right now.
Speaker 12 (44:05):
The children book series was kind of a passion project,
the Playground lawyors.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
I always wanted to create it. I wanted to create
a series.
Speaker 12 (44:12):
And you know, I self published it, like I told
you guys when I was on here last time. And
it's kind of it's in a way, kind of on
hiatus as far as doing more of a series because
everything got so busy this year. So I depending on
next year where I'm at and how things are moving along.
(44:33):
I would like to do another you know, playground playground
order book. But right now it's just kind of like
it's it's out there, you know, I talk about it
a lot. It's a fun passion project, and you know
that's really where that's at.
Speaker 11 (44:48):
Not too much, it's not really anywhere.

Whusic Meats Boxing. It's family friendly and fun for all ages.
Whether you're here for the fight or the fiddle, there's
something for everyone. See professional fighters go toe to toe
(45:16):
in real championship bousing well being able to listen to
incredible live performances from some of country music's rising stars.
Country Box brings you a one of a kind experience,
blending adrenaline pumping championship boxing with the heart of live
(45:36):
country music. Country box where music meets boxing.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
So I have a feeling that Jimmy's he's working on
moboxing now. So he's bringing boxing not only from Tennessee
but to Motown now. So he's working on that and
talk about having a billion emails, a billion emails. When
I talked to him yesterday, Brian, I got twenty one
thousand emails sitting in front of me. Can you send
the Lincoln Fron Yes, I will, well he literally does.
So it's a country it's a it's a country box thing.
(46:04):
It's actually really good to see. I am not a
box event. Yeah, yeah with that, I teach you for
seven where we have forty four million views on that's
one of those things where if we hadn't gone there,
we wouldn't have that outlet there. So I'm really thankful
for Jimmy and his family and it's a family affair
that everybody goes in. And his wife, Ashley, she's actually
(46:25):
in there telling the boxes what to do. She's like
that ring trainer, which I find fascinating, and she's gorgeous
and it's one of those things. While she's a tough
woman that put up with Jimmy. But you know that's that.
So that's coming up December. Second.
