We Are Still Hungry

On this week's episode of We Are Still Hungry podcast, Amy goes into unnecessary detail about her bout with influenza. But the good news she had a lot of time to practice the uklelele. The Makeup Minute covers dry shampoo and high definition powder. Amy brings us an update on Philando Castile's murder. In the fat-phobic disaster of the week, Nike gets a lot of backlash over "promoting obesity" by featuring a line of plus size clothes. Paula recaps Lindy West's article from the Guardian and how she will from now on refuse to answer the question whether promoting body positivitiy promotes obesity. And of course there was talk of RuPaul, David Spade, Naya Rivera, S-Town, Big Little Lies, The Handmaid's Tale, Paris is Burning, Maxine Waters and our secret boyfriend R. Eric Thomas.

This week, Paula & Amy celebrate the inagural episode of Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Lady Gaga was there with her perfect self. We are also celebrating that the AHCA is dead and Trump still sucks. You know who else sucks? Ivanka and Jared, according to their neighbors. Trash everywhere, parking is terrible in Kalorama. The Fatphobic Disaster of the Week is all the people who are fat-shaming Trump. Y'all, just don't talk about people's bodies, especially when there is SO MUCH ELSE to make fun of Trump for. Also, the American health care system is deeply fatphobic. The FUSBPHHTDWTW is the missing black girls in DC. During the Feminist Forum is how American culture looooves to put women on a pedestal so we can tear her down. In this case, Amy Schumer. In the makeup minute, we shout out Amy and Paula's under eye jonx. The recommendations are the movie GET OUT, Girls Episode 3 and cold press coffee, which is the whitest thing Amy has ever talked about ever.

This week, Paula and Amy discuss RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 and sip on some gross Flip Flop fizzy wine beverage. Are Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel failing to vaccinate their kid? We hope not. The Make-Up Minute brings us praise for Baby Lips Peach Kiss and Stila HUGE Extreme Last mascara. The Fucked Up Shit is that Muhammed Ali Jr keeps getting harassed by the goddamn TSA because of Trump's travel ban. We discuss Gabourey Sidibe's decision to undergo bariatric surgery, which is medically induced starvation. It's very complicated, so Paula breaks it down. Also, Bob Harper had a heart attack which proves that you cannot tell SHIT about anyone's health by looking at them. The recommendations this week are The Federalist Pig and Portlandia. Also, listen to RuPaul & Michelle Visage's podcast What's the Tee? And if you're in DC and have the means, visit the Smithsonian's Hirschorn Museum to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibit.

We have a makeup minute in which we recommend The Balm MadLash mascara, and Brazilian Bum Bum cream. The Fatphobic Disaster of the Week is the dumbass doctor who told Whitney Way Thore she was a pig. GFY. Amy gave us an update about her depression, which is getting better. We recommend the Britney Spears biopic on Lifetime, and Manchester By The Sea.

Beyonce was robbed of Album of the Year. Adele (the British Jennifer Lawrence) won instead of Lemonade and said, "What does Beyonce have to do to win Album of the Year?" Please watch the documentary "The Return". It taught us a shit ton about the Great Migration and the 2nd Great Migration, the 3-strikes law, and LAPD's complicated history of violence against the black community. Lady Gaga was fat-shamed by garbage people because she had a teeny roll at the bottom of her belly and we have a lot to say about it. HALF of the country thinks it should be a law for women to take their husbands' name and we're not okay with it.

Hope y'all are hungry. This is chock full of goodness for your listening pleasure. This week, Paula and Amy are over the moon about Beyonce & Jay's twins! It's just what they need to get them through the Trump bullshit.

This week in Fat-phobia, Paula breaks the shocking news that telling kids that they are obese fills them with shame and then they gain weight, because DIETING CAUSES OBESITY AND EATING DISORDERS.

Fucked-Up Shit: Trump's remarks about Black History Month are repulsive. He might actually think Frederick Douglass is still alive.

Feminism: Does Taylor Swift play the victim? Has doing so made her entire career? Ellie Woodward thinks so.

This week, Paula and Amy discuss the Inauguration of Donald Trump and the Women's March on Washington. Paula (a psychotherapist) is starting a Trump trauma support group to help people who are feeling unsafe, threatened and triggered by Trump. Amy created a list of ways to stay clear during the Trump administration. The Fatphobic Disaster of the Week goes to the show "This is Us" featuring Chris Sullivan, the love interest of Chrissy Metz's character, who wears a fat suit. The Body Positive win of the week is Jay, a model speaking out for men who love big women. Drew Barrymore disappointed Paula & Amy this week but they still love her tons. The recommendations are Missy Elliot's new AMAZING video and the Netflix show "Black Mirror".

In this episode, Paula and Amy discuss the upcoming Women's March on Washington and the Inauguration of President-Elect Trump. Ugh. The fucked up shit black people have had to deal with this week is the confirmation hearings of Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions. Ugh. The Fat-phobic disaster of the week goes to America's Next Top Model and their lack of plus size models, even though our girlfriend Ashley Graham is on the judges' panel. We're living for the Pretty Big Movement by Akria Armstrong, thus she gets our Body Positive Win of the Week.

2017 needs our hunger. Paula and Amy discuss the end of the holidays and Paula's adventure in LA with all her favorite gays. Amy has been sick and this is her new normal. Paula had a really tough week as a therapist and wonders, "Is there any worse form of torture than believing everything your head tells you?"

The Fatphobic Disaster of the Week is everyone who is going on an New Year's diet. As Paula so poetically says, "A smaller body will not give you anything that you cannot have already in this very moment." We're also super fired up about Oprah and her belief now that living in a small body is the best way to live your best life.
