Maintenance Phase

butt! hahahaha there is so much negativity in the world these days and my sense is u2 actively opt out of all that like, spiritually and it’s just hard sometimes to make the cast entertaining if there’s nothing to dump on. i really do get it. the one episode that was frequently factually inaccurate tho was halo top, maybe re record or patreon it? excellent show & i tell all my ppls

I wanted to get into this show and I’ve given episodes over time a full listen, but the hosts’ determination to ‘debunk’ actual science is intolerable. The culture at large needs progressive thinkers to articulate and persuade the masses toward GOOD. This pod is not that.

I just listened to the ultra processed food episode and Aubrey/Michael love to pretend that food quantity (calories) and quality aren’t that important by picking apart the NOVA (and other) classifications of processed foods. Gorls, you know what ultra processed means lol. Being obnoxiously pedantic isn’t helping anyone. And stop bringing lower income ppl into the conversation- I shop at Walmart for my groceries and have a very balanced minimally processed whole food diet. I started listening to this pod because I do believe there’s weight stigma that fat folks experience, but yall are the greatest cringe binge. Congrats! 🤣

Every time a new episode of this pod drops, I get so happy! I love Aubrey and Mike - wish they were my buds. They’re funny and smart and I’ve learned a lot.
