This week, Paula and Amy cover the Oscars and how racist they are. We talk about Caitlyn Jenner and her delusional ass thinking that Trump was going to do right by LGBTQ+ people. 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?”
We have a make-up tangent in which we discuss Urban Decay’s De-Slick Make-up Setting Spray.
Please watch this documentary! It taught us a shit ton about the Great Migration and the 2nd Great Migration, the 3-strikes law, LAPD’s complicated history of violence against the black community.
Fat Positivity is to Body Positivity as Black Lives Matter is to All Lives Matter.
Lady Gaga was fat-shamed by garbage people because she had a teeny roll at the bottom of her belly.
This segment should be called “The Womb of Our Desire”.
HALF of the country thinks it should be a law for women to take their husbands’ name.
Paula keeps protesting! We know we’re on the right side of history because we’re with the smart funny people.

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. Here, read this goddamn research report.
Paula goes on the most perfect rant about the psychology of fatness and thinness and PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS! This is a better rant than in Episode 8: It’s Not About You.
This bears repeating.
Paula goes on the most perfect rant about the psychology of fatness and thinness and PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS!
Parents: Don’t make your child hate his body. Trust us, they’ll find a reason to hate themselves on their own.
Pound Not My President Donald Trump gave bullshit remarks at a breakfast for Black History Month. He sounds like a child whose English is his second language.
Here’s an excerpt:
For the record, not all African Americans live in the inner city, the inner city is not a terrible place, African American communities are, in fact, amazing places filled with great people and not a cause for Trump’s fake-ass concern, and Trump is real dumb and racist.
Mike Pence is also real dumb and racist. They should suck all the colors of the dicks.
It all began with Kanye running up on stage and saying, “Imma let you finish,” which was a crazy person move, but played into America’s fear of the Angry Black Man.
We’re on to you, Tay-Tay. The poor little white girl thing is real tired.
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:
If it’s not fun, you’re doing it wrong (aka You don’t have to suffer to make a difference)
Turn off your TV & computer
Learn about EVERYTHING
Remind yourself WHY you’re trying to save the world
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. Like, whaaaaaa?
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 Akira Armstrong, thus she gets our Body Positive Win of the Week.
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.
Our recommendations:
American Crime! Leah Remini’s Show! La La Land! Love is Love Comic!
In this episode (recorded before the holidays), Paula and Amy discuss getting turnt at Amy’s 5th Annual Christmas Party. We also keep our eye on mental health awareness during the holiday season, although Paula’s mental health was very jingly as she spent another amazing weekend in NYC with Josh & Roger.
The Fatphobic Disaster of the Week is Chrissy Metz’s contractual weight loss. We understand completely what Chrissy’s going through.
The Body Positivity Win of the Week is BUZZFEED and their awesome Victoria Secret Fashion Show. Need we remind you how HAWT Tess Holiday is?
Speaking of Victoria’s Secret, the FUSBPHHTDWTW happened when a Vicki Seeks in Alabama kicked out all the black ladies because someone robbed the store.
Our recommendations are First Aid Kid and Manchester by the Sea.
Paula and Amy have a post-election emotional check-in and then describe their tattoos.
The “Fucked Up Shit Black People Have Have To Deal With” features Amy’s raving review of Ava Duvernay’s documentary The 13th.
The Fatphobic Disaster of the week is Khloe Kardashian’s new show “Revenge Body”. Gross.
We don’t want to normalaize the trauma of Trump, and we wonder how to live in this new country/world.
Our recommendations are: Arrival starring Amy Adams, Search Party on TBS, and to take care of yourself during the holidays if you hate Christmas like Amy does.
Soooo, things have been ca-razy. Traveling, depression, Tha Holidaze = no posts here for THREE episodes. We want to have a place for everyone to listen to the episodes besides iTunes or Soundcloud so we’ll continue to post here but exactly what the posts will look like is up in the air.
But here are the last three episodes, in chronological order!
