I’m Welcome to another episode of the Demon Babie Podcast, episode 25. I was just informed I'm sitting here with the deity of diets, Emma Collins Nilsson. Don't dox her. That's her middle name. I'm Joey Lombardo. We're best friends and lovers and roommates and co-hosts. And here's a new episode of What We Like to call is the Demon Babie podcast. Let's start it off with. Well, today's episode is diet. Today's episode is diet. And I'd like to out you right out of the gate. Don't. Right out of the gate! We're going. Don't. What did you do yesterday? I got stabbed by your sister. What did she stab you with? tirzepatide You know, my family is really gone up because I saw my dad, mom stab my dad once. But that was with a fork. Not medicine, no medicinal factor. No. No benefits to that. No benefits to that. That was just a straight up stabbing. We had an ozempic party at your sister's house yesterday, which is. Really showing the glow up of my family. It's beautiful. So how is it doing? What is it called? tirzepatide Tri zepitide, tries appetite. I don't know. It's not my. It's not my prescription. But is that how I say it? I don't. Know. I think it's tirzepatide. It could be trizepatide I don't know tirzepatide. No. Spell it. I don't. Know. No. Hit us with the best k. Best guess of the spelling. Why don't I think it's T I R Z E P I t no tir ze pi P I T I D E Maybe we'll check later. So how's it feel your day? You're one day fully in. not hungry at all. You're not hungry at all. That's crazy. I'm not hungry. That’s sick. I just made a beautiful dinner, too. Yeah. Just going to go to waste. I'll eat some. You'll have, some. I'll have. Some. Okay. But. Yeah. Don't call me the the deity of diets because I'm absolutely not a nutritionist. I'm just trying to eat less. Why can't I call you the how? What? How else was I supposed to start this episode off? I don't know, not like that. That's giving me a lot of credit I don't deserve. Sorry. I like to, fluff us up a little bit, you know, make us seem like we're credible. And I'm wearing a tie. You are wearing a tie. I. You’ve yet to say anything about me. You are the deity of diet. You you know how to eat. You know what's actually good for you. I'm just figuring Nor do I follow any of the rules. You literally follow all the rules, and you're working out twice a day. You're literally doing 75. This is because I'm having a midlife crisis. This isn't because I care about myself. You are caring about yourself by doing 75 soft. That's a byproduct of being worried about turning 30. Okay, well, first topic. Well, I guess we already did a second topic. 75 soft. How's it going? You're like two weeks and now. Oh, it's good. I didn't get my morning run in today, so I have to do a double workout after this. So that's fun. But besides, that's going well. I feel very healthy. Sexy. Any different? A little tighter everywhere. Yeah, everywhere. Feels a little tighter. You look lean. I feel lean. You look it. Thanks, kid. You're looking good, kid. Thanks, dog. I want to talk about the Cosmo diet. Oh, cosmopolitans, 1950. What a lady should have when she's trying to lose some weight. Yeah, this is a great diet. Let's go over it one more time. It was wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy. No. Wrong. Wrong. No. Wake up in the morning. Have a glass of white wine. One glass of white wine. Black coffee. Black coffee. And a hard. Boiled egg. And a hard boiled egg. Might have been one. Might have been two. Pretty sure it was one. I'm pretty sure it was one. Pretty sure it was one that was a strict diet. That was. That was your breakfast. And then I'm. Pretty sure it was Vogue, no? I don't know, I'll find out. Fix it in post. And then for lunch, you could have another hard boiled egg and another glass of wine. Which is awesome. Yeah. That's it. Maybe a cigaret. Maybe a cigaret. I don't know if I mentioned a cigaret. But then for dinner, you could have. Eight ounces of steak. I think six ounces. It was small. It was eight. Yeah. Eight ounces of steak. And the rest of the bottle of wine. That's a good day. It's a crazy day. It's a. Wild day. Yeah, you could probably do that. Now that you're all shot up. Pass, pass. I feel like I just don't need to be that drunk all day. You wouldn’t feel drunk all day. I feel like I would one glass one glass. No you're not drunk til the night time. You're not drunk to kill that bottle. Yeah, which apparently you are allowed to do every day. Well, so. No one's counting those calories. No, that's what they said. They said if you want to be a housewife in the 50s, you have to drink wine and not eat. And that's what it is. Yep. Next topic. Oh, we should do it. Okay. One Saturday, we’ll film it. Coming to our YouTube channel, us doing the Cosmo or Vogue diet. Period. Done. We both need a bottle to ourselves, though. Yeah, yeah. Don't touch my bottle, don't. Touch my. Bottle. Don't go near my bottle. Imma be doing Westlake Village mom pours on my glasses of wine too Oh, yeah. Next topic. You want me to do it? Yep. Totally forgot. Keto diet. No, I had a good one. And you just forgot. I totally forgot. But I said one. Keto diet. There's not much to say about keto. I don't know, I don't get it. It's just like no bread. Yeah. It's boring. Yeah. Next topic, next topic. Gluten free. Gluten free is almost the same, no bread. No, but gluten free is like, specific. What about. Okay, being gluten free, but, like, you still try any glutenous things like you're eating gluten free bread and gluten free muffins and gluten free cakes and gluten free. This like, I think the hunt for gluten free stuff is crazy. I don't like the what? Oh. I don't like the gluten free products, I don't. I get real old fashioned American when it comes to my products. I'm like, now I want to see real. I almost feel like I'm anti-trans because I'm like, no, there's only two types of bread. There's real bread and there's fake breads. Oh my. God, that. That was crazy. No, but, you know, it's just like, I get so, like old school with it. I'm like, I feel like it's almost more Italian of you than American. Maybe, I don't know. Like, you can't find gluten free stuff in Italy. I feel like. Right now, I don't do too much grocery shopping in Italy, so. I'm not sure. But I feel like when you go to Europe, like you. It's frowned upon. Oh, yeah. They don't fuck with your alternative diets. The Italians aren't going to. The Italians and the French are going to scoff at you if you try and fuck with their patisserie. But a lot of patisserie is almond flour. We've learned, we've learned that but they're not. Advertising it as gluten free still. True. They’re like that's just what that is. True. Hello. Hello. All right next topic. I my next topic actually I remembered. Now I'm back I'm back locked in. All right. Next topic is what do you think of the skinny demic everyone's talking about. It's a real thing. Is it a sign of recession? Yes. Do you think it actually is? Yes. Why? What do you give me your full of spectrum of this? Because you were probably much more locked into the skinny demic me. I wasn't ready for this question. Let me try and turn my brain on for real. Quick question is it that self-care is important and people are being fit with this? Or are they being unhealthy with the skinny demic in general. Being unhealthy with it, and they're just starving themselves and they're paying they're instead of going to the gym and working out harder and like learning how to better their diets, they're paying extra to get medicines that they probably don't need. Although there are some benefits of like. Let's also laugh at ourselves that. I literally. 10s ago. Well, you one, you did this yesterday. 10s ago you said let's do the vogue 1950’s diet of an egg and a bottle of wine. Yeah, and that came right after a recession. Also. So recession makes people look good. Yeah, recession makes people skinny. You can't afford. Food. As Chad Muska said, getting rich makes you fat. Yeah. So, yeah, I think that is a sign of it. Also, I think people are partying a lot right now, and that's another sign of a recession. And people like to look skinny when they party and the probably just doing a lot of drugs. So drug skinny is a special kind of skinny. The blow usage has gone up globally. Really. People don't want to pay for alcohol. Yeah that's valid. Alcohol’s too expensive. Alcohol is way too expensive. Yeah. So there you go. So skinny Demic is a pandemic of the economy. Yep. Got it. You heard it here first from the deity of diet. I said what I said. I said what I said. Next topic. Dairy free. No cows. Next topic. What? What about dairy free? I'd like to say. Would you milk cow? No. What? You milked me. Why wouldn't you? My God, it's not the same for a different. No way end goal there. Maybe more beneficial. I'm not drinking that milk. I'm actually. I'm not drinking either. Milk. So. Yeah. Anyways, would you milk a cow? I’d milk a cow. Yeah, yeah, I'll try it out. I don't think I'd like it. Do you like cow’s milk? I like cows milk. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You. Me? You've been drinking that again in coffee shops. I've noticed I. I’ve been thrown wild cards out there. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Yeah. You're not getting oat milk anymore. You're over it. Yeah, I kind of. Am, really. I don't want. Oils. I do get that. I feel like there's a lot of oils and stuff. Oh, give me a steroided up, cow. It's fine. I grew up on it. I'm tall. Well, if I start shrinking because I stopped drinking cows milk. Maybe you have to stop drinking soda. I feel like you had more soda than milk growing up. I have stopped drinking soda. Maybe I should start drinking soda. Yeah. Ooh, soda. Diet soda. Only diet. Only diet. That's what my dentist would be so happy. Demon of Hollywood special. Soda Only. Well, we all know I grew up drinking so much soda at such a young age that there was overlap of bottle use and soda use where my mom would put Pepsi in the baby bottle. That's so crazy. Crazy. I grew up like a wild animal. Yeah. That's insane. I can picture you though, laying there with a Pepsi instead of just normal milk. Oh, baby. Me? Yeah. That's crazy. Adorable. Turned out great. Turned out great. Crazy beginning. I'm always on caffiene. Perma caffeinated. Always needed another hot. Permanently caffeinated from this. Yeah maybe. Yikes yikes yikes. Next topic, next topic. Mediterranean diet. Do you think it actually makes them live longer in those blue zones? I think the social part of their diet is the social part. Yeah. Like that. When they're out in the. They're out and about. They go out more in the, the blue zones, the. Blue zones. Blue zones are way more social like. Yes, it's also the diet. But also they have friends that like when they're 80. So you're saying more friend diet than food diet. Yeah I think it's more important. Okay. I heard that there's a new study that came out. I'm not going to go find it and link this, but it's actually saying that it's better for your brain in your lifespan to have a better social life than it is even diet. So there you go. You're also not going to want to go out if you're overweight and unhealthy you're going to be tired. You can be exhausted. You’re not going to feel good. Sorry I said. I don't feel good. No one said you felt good. Okay, good. Next topic, the Postmates diet. We’ve been on. I'm on it. Oh, I hate it. It's so. It's too easy. It's so expensive too. It's ridiculous. Yeah. That's where all my money goes. It doesn't even go to anything. Good. Now it's a waste of money and it's. Yeah, it’s too easy. It's. I always do it on a time when I probably could peel myself off the couch. When I'm hung over and I just don't. Yeah. Hands and knees Yeah. It's got me. It's got on it. Got me in a choke hold. I'm on a leash. Yeah, yeah. Postmates. Let me. Off. That's a tough one to break. It's a hard, Dom. Yeah, that's a real fucking aggressive Dom, and it beats the shit out of me. Yeah, it has all my money. Yeah, I'm like a pay pig for, like, I'm a Postmates pay pig. But it's dragging me to the ATM. I'm just doing my thing from the floor. Literally. It's like, take the money out bitch. Yeah, it literally hits me. Yeah, I love it. I do love it I like fancy. Food. You do, you know, which. Makes you fat. Getting rich makes you fat. Anyways, next topic multivitamins. I don't like. Taking. I don't like taking them. I don't like taking them. I don't care if they do that much. They hurt my tummy. I don't like taking them. Then I don't feel like they do that much. Maybe let's just go bold and say you're a loser if you take a multivitamin. I just I don't want I don't get it. I'm going to say it. Just eat healthier food. Just be a loser. I don't like it. Call them a loser. You're a loser. Whoa, wow Oh, my God, you're calling strangers losers now. Learned from you. You forgot who you came from. Where you came from. Used to be a nice girl. I gotta reminisce. This diety. Oh. My God. Complex is showing. Yeah. It is. What about the carnivore diet? Wait. Next topic. What about the carnival diet? Is that one you only eat meat. Only eat meat. Red meat too right? Red meat only. Yeah, I thought they could have. I don't think they can. I just learned, like yesterday that they can't fish. Yeah. Or chicken. Yeah, just red meat. It's a little gnarly. It's not balanced. At the end of the day, you kind of have to be balanced. I like...... I mean, I imagine yeah. I feel like balance is kind of the key. My idea of it would be your cholesterol would be through the roof. Through the roof. Mine was already high through the roof. Your cholesterol was high. Yeah. You didn't know that. What? Yeah. I'm really unhealthy. What the. Hell? Why was your cholesterol? I literally, I've no idea. The hell do you do? When I did Accutane and I had to get my blood drawn, like, every week, and they're. Like, your cholesterol is high. You never told me. Yeah, I did, you didn't, it didn't register. I definitely told you. That I don't care, I. Don't think you cared. I care now. Yeah. And then I thought I could get on ozempic because I have high cholesterol and that's like a thing. Okay. That was you can help. I was gonna be your little way to weasel into it. Yeah, it's like a year ago. Two years ago. Okay? It didn't. Work. Okay. I also didn't see a doctor in person. I was just trying to weasel through it online, you know? Didn't you? Texting friends? No, I didn't text anyone. You did. No. I can't say his name. I did. You did, I did. We texted. Ya Texted people I did. Yeah. Oh whatever. You got denied there too. Next topic. Next topic. Vegans. Tough diet. Complete opposite. Would you rather be on the carnival carnivore diet or a vegan diet? Vegan. I think I go carnivore. I like vegetables a lot and you can get more variety. I just don't. Really like, really can't get that much variety with the carnivore diet Oh, you could get a lot of variety with being vegan. True, true. You can't have a smoothie. You can't have. Maybe I go vegan. You're right. There's more flavor options. Yeah, I guess I feel like you have to. You could get mushrooms and make, like, steaks. Cauliflower steaks? No, no, no, I'm not doing that. Well, if you're vegan. the fakes no, there's no replacing it. It's just cooking the food. It's. You understand? It's not a steak. I understand. I can't even call it a steak. Okay. I have I have rights. And you have standards. I understand. Okay. That's not going to go pass code. Right. That's not not. In this. House. Okay. Well fine. Next topic. Almond parents. I wish I had one. Do you. Because you probably would have rebelled. And I guess I'm rebelling in the opposite way. You are rebelling in the opposite way. Yeah. Whatever. You always swing on the other way. On the pendulum. Yeah. But I still wish I had one. I have an almond grandparent, and maybe that's why my parent isn't almondy in any way. Maybe that could be true. My dad can kill a few burgers for dinner. Not one, a few. Yeah. And then finish up some other people's, He puts it. Back, but his mom was such an almond. Mom. I bet that's why he is. Why he's like that? Yeah, it's a little rebellious or rebellious. Black sheep bastard he is. I can see that. Yeah. She's my inspiration. My grandma. Yeah. Oh wow. Like she's so cool. She gets it. You know when I. But my family I was. Looking for a girl to marry I was always like one like my grandma. I’m gonna throw up. You said it. I'm allowed to call your grandma inspiring that for being healthy. All right, that's different. Call her inspiring. We just had two totally different things anyways. Yeah, my family was super unhealthy. Were your grandparents healthy? No. Okay, so you've just in a lineage of unhealthy. Yeah. Then break that chain Emma. I'm breaking the chain. What's it called? Generational trauma. Trauma. I’m breaking my generational trauma. That's not trauma, though. you think it's trauma? I don't know, you'd classify it as trauma. I have high cholesterol. Like I have high cholesterol. What did you not hear? Like basically diabetic. Oh my God. Well, I think that was a good episode. Next topic. We're out of topic. We're out of topics. Yeah. All right. Have you brought that topic today? Yeah. Well, it's one keto. It's a gluten free, dairy free. I brought a bunch of topics. You about your free’s Yeah, yeah. All right. I've done all of them. All right. Pescatarian. I could fuck with that one. I'd be fine with that. Yeah. That's easy if you can afford it. Because fish is a little more pricey. Yeah, but fish is delicious. If you can afford it. I think it wouldn't be that hard. No, because you can get a lot of variety of taste with fish. How often could you eat sushi in a week? Twice a week. Twice a week? No more easily no more. Probably more. But like, realistically. If you’re pescatarian. Three times. A week, three times a week. I think that after three times a week I'm like, I. Ate too much. I don't eat more raw fish. I’ll gag. There's a limit on raw fish or raw food of any kind, True. No, Yeah.
