Episode 73: Not Gonna Waste a Good Relapse

Episode 73 has a deep flavor profile. First off, Paula had quite the experience getting back to DC from NYC on the Bolt Bus. Demi Lovato relapsed and we love her even more, if that’s even possible. Katherine McPhee and David Foster are engaged and the ladies have feelings.

The Make Up Minute recommendations are Lush bar shampoo and NYX eyeshadow primer.

The FUS is Newport Nancy. The Feminist Forum is the garbage fire of Feminist Apparel.

The Fatphobic Disaster is Sam Smith. (UGH.) Paula revisits Jess Baker’s concept of body currency. The Body Politics win goes to Khloe K who says not stupid things about her body! Yay Koko.

Recommendations are Samantha Irby of Bitches Gotta Eat and Dax Shepherd’s podcast.

Episode 72: Just Paraphrasing, “Hey Dipshits!”

 

HELLO Hungry Babies! We’re so happy you’re here. This episode, the Hungry Women take on a lot. First of all, the country is a literal garbage fire because Justice Kennedy is retiring. And also Joe Jackson died. He also has a grandson named Jermajesty. Heather Locklear needs help, y’all. Maybe she should move to Iowa with Rob K.

The Fat-phobic Disaster of the Week is insurance companies weighing patients for profit! Gross. The Body Politics Win is Self Magazine who not only put Tess Holiday on the cover of their internet issue.

In this week’s FUS, we feature the amazing story of Philando Castille’s mom donating all the art that was sent to her after her son’s death.

We also learn about the death of Antwon Rose and how he was shot in the back three times. The police officer — the first day on the job — was charged with criminal homicide.

In the podcast “Reveal”, we learned that there is a “treatment center” for criminal babies where they’re given psychotropic drugs to deal with the psychological trauma of being removed from their parents.

Please watch “Pose” on FX and the podcast “Reveal.”

Stay Hungry!!!!

Episode 71: Gymnastics in a Hot Room

Hiya, hungry kids. This week we mourn the loss of Anthony Bourdain and Amy shares about her friend Amy from amalah.com who tried to end her life. It was a gut punch.

Paula met Roxanne Gay and she’s rad. Amy listened to Jada Pinkett’s Red Table Talks.

The Makeup Minute is Mary Kay’s eye gel and eyeshadow primer and “pink stuff”, and also Hairstory.

The FUS is the immigration crisis and the children being separated from their parents.

The Fat-phobic Disaster, isn’t reallllly a disaster, but more of a question: Is body positivity a scam? What about body neutrality?

The Body Politics Win is Nicola Coughlin.

Recommendations: Podcasts “30 For 30: Bikram”, “She Says”, “Terrible, Thanks for Asking”, and “Getting Curious”. Also, cry your way through “Queer Eye, Season 2”.

Episode 70: Dust Makes You Gay!!

This episode is very meaty. The Hungry Gals open by discussing Kim Kardashian’s new career as criminal justice reform advocate. They also touch on Brendan Fraser’s #metoo moment.

The Feminist Forum update is that Judge Aaron Persky is gone, baby, gone.

The Makeup Minute is Supergoop setting powder to keep your makeup from sliding down your face.

The Fatphobic Disaster is an insane article alleging that a dirty house can make you fat. The Body Poltics Win is the show Dietland.

The FUSBPHHTDWTW is that white people are still calling 911 on black people. Sigh.

Note: Hiya, Amy here. I would like to make a public apology/acknowledgement for making an assumption about Nigerian folks. I assumed that someone from Nigeria is “super duper black”. This is problematic for a few reasons…First of all, I meant to say that I assumed his skin was super duper dark. The phrase “super duper black” taken out of context is horrifying. Secondly, Nnamaeka, friend and producer, graciously checked me on this assumption.  He says, “It’s a common mistake, but not all people from Africa are dark. Nigeria, like many other nations in Africa, has the highest genetic diversity in the world. You can find people as light as Alicia Keys (my mom’s side of the family) to dark as Lupita Nyongo (my dad’s side of the family”.) I’m sorry for my mistake but very glad I have the opportunity to apologize for it.

RIP Kate Spade. Let’s learn how to talk about suicide, okay?

Recommendations are Netflix’s Ibiza and Evil Genius and the book The Girl Who Smiled Beads.
