00:04:21.400Again, supposed to heal trauma, help you focus on sensation, supposed to help a woman, you0.90
00:04:26.780know have an orgasm um they would do this in groups so you know pairs would be in a room
00:04:34.980and multiple pairs in a room so that's how it can become a group-like practice but i think that the
00:04:41.440way that the organization functioned was they needed introductions to get people in to do the
00:04:46.700practice so that there would be group activities like they had something called a turn on uh which
00:04:52.580is communication games. So that was a free course. And once you were at a turn on, they could kind of
00:04:59.720introduce you to the idea of orgasmic meditation. And this was mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area,
00:05:07.040right? Is that where you were based? Yeah, it's in the San Francisco Bay Area. But then I also
00:05:11.280found out while I was there that they had centers in Austin, Texas, in New York, and in LA, and I
00:05:17.620think maybe london i'm not clear but other places as well and i was not based in the bay area i was
00:05:23.220there doing a yoga teacher training and checking it out seeing if i wanted to live there i was
00:05:27.860living in la and um eventually i did stay in the bay area for a bit and i lived there for a while
00:05:34.200yeah so you are so you're in the bay area trying to set if you want to live there yeah and how did
00:05:40.820you get involved with one taste that is such a long story i'm going to try to like minimize the
00:05:47.180long story-ness of it. But basically, I was, you know, already interested in yoga. I was a yoga
00:05:53.080teacher in trainings in this. Well, there was no such thing as a wellness community. It wasn't
00:05:59.180called that yet. So I was just in what I would consider subcultures. And I, in these kind of
00:06:07.480more spiritual or self-growth or self-help subculture type places, One Taste would position
00:06:15.740people to just show up and sometimes they'd be wearing the t-shirt that said I think turn on it
00:06:22.180was a gray t-shirt or different different t-shirts that said orgasmic meditation or one taste or
00:06:26.900something like that um and it was really strategic in such a strange way like I was I was in Joshua
00:06:33.720tree I'm Jewish I was at a Shabbat in the desert in Joshua tree and someone was there from one
00:06:37.860taste wearing a gray t-shirt that was from one taste so getting into it was really just a matter
00:06:43.520of like my lifestyle I was already kind of in these subculture areas and people I think in
00:06:50.580these types of spaces they're already interested in you know different ways of exploring sex and
00:06:57.980different ways of dealing with relationships a lot of people in this community were polyamorous
00:07:02.240and I think so it was one of those things where I was exposed to it pretty frequently due to my
00:07:10.420lifestyle. That makes so much sense to me because I think that it can be such a slippery slope
00:07:20.040between wellness, between community, and then also moving into, you know, what are our different
00:07:31.300kinds of potential abuse. I think when you make yourself open to, you know, different kinds of
00:07:39.660modalities of self-improvement um both physical mental and spiritual you you you make yourself
00:07:46.760very vulnerable and and that can can put people in scary situations i mean is that what ended up
00:07:52.860happening yeah i think so i mean being just like interested in general in different things within
00:08:01.580the quote-unquote wellness industry and again this was before that was a term but i mean i'm
00:08:05.700just calling it that now because that's what we identified as now. But when you're exploring
00:08:10.100yourself and you're exploring different healing modalities and just different ways of personal
00:08:14.480development and growth, you kind of innocently are walking into situations that later on prove
00:08:24.580to be dangerous. And I don't just mean dangerous in terms of it being a cult, but dangerous in
00:08:28.660terms of, oh, this is actually changing my belief system. And this is actually changing
00:08:33.080a lot within me in a way that may or may not be of service to me. There were so many, I mean,
00:08:39.140also living in LA for a long time, there are so many, unfortunately, scams and people that do
00:08:46.320things under the name of healing, but are exploiting people. So many scams, mostly aimed
00:08:51.640at women, unfortunately was what I found. A lot of this stuff was women helping women like that1.00
00:08:56.020to me was such a red flag. That term always brought me to some strange place. But I also0.98
00:09:01.320think in terms of healers you know male healers using their position of power i want to heal you
00:09:06.340but then there's that whole element of what is their motivation and are they really healing you
00:09:11.700or or is is there something nefarious going on and i think like you know la2 lots of multi-level
00:09:18.000marketing companies that you you know you end up going to someone's house you think you want to
00:09:22.500learn about this thing that could help your body but then it ends up being odd join my
00:09:26.140if you really want to heal then join this you know all of that yeah it does feel like preying
00:09:33.100on the most vulnerable of people or the people at their most vulnerable times so at what point
00:09:39.140did you realize hey maybe this isn't what i think it is so many different moments in my journey made
00:09:47.140me think that and i ought to be completely honest it was really in the beginning like before i even
00:09:53.800went to OneTaste. It was the way in which I was meeting people from OneTaste before I even joined.
00:10:00.600That was a turnoff to me, to use their language. It was a turnoff because I felt there was this
00:10:08.840kind of predatory energy from the people who would just approach me randomly at events I was at and
00:10:13.860be like, do you want to OM? I didn't even know what that meant. And they were just coming up to
00:10:17.280me, a lot of it being men. I didn't understand that. And I think just the women who just seemed
00:10:23.660to be wanting to sell me something i didn't know these people they were just at the events that i0.96
00:10:27.880was at and they were just kind of approaching me and it definitely gave me a um like a selling
00:10:32.920type of energy not a connection energy not a oh i have this real i went to this really cool thing
00:10:39.320i mean because if you're going to be a good cult like i went to this really cool thing and it
00:10:42.940changed my life like that would have been a better story than like that's a better that's a better
00:10:45.840cult tagline for me right right yeah yeah then kind of like this come to the center and it just
00:10:52.880felt a bit. So that was immediately a turnoff. I think the reason why I continued on past those
00:10:58.260instincts, because my instincts were were pretty spot on. But honestly, just so many people were
00:11:04.240like, wow, I went and I tried this clitoris stroking practice. And it just seemed like0.94
00:11:08.120other people who I actually knew and who I was friendly with who had gone, they seemed to like
00:11:14.400it. They didn't they weren't joining it. They weren't in it. But I was like, oh, maybe I just
00:11:18.840need to try it you know that makes sense to me also clitoral stroking sounds nice i mean yeah0.96
00:11:26.100like orgasmic meditation also sounds lovely to me and so what was i mean you felt nervous about it0.95
00:11:34.460from the get-go but then what was really your breaking point and how did you get out of it
00:11:39.900yeah so the breaking point there were so many breaking points it's interesting because i wish
00:11:46.520I could say like oh there was this one you know incident where it was very clear but they really
00:11:52.720happened throughout my time there um there were different moments for me like when I did hear
00:11:59.520about the full story around this is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice that as a yoga
00:12:05.480teacher and as someone who I even went to an institute on Tibetan Buddhism and I'm like this
00:12:09.800doesn't make any sense to me from what I know about this that they made this claim and I'm
00:12:16.040thinking you know this doesn't actually track maybe i'm not informed enough about it but it
00:12:23.600doesn't make sense that that's their origin story that somebody that a tibetan buddhist monk
00:12:28.260showed this practice to someone and this i didn't understand the origin story so that was kind of a
00:12:34.740big hmm i don't know if i believe this moment but there were many other moments within the
00:12:39.740organization that felt really off to me. So many, so, so many. I think the main thing that happened
00:12:50.080for me there that really pushed me over the edge was I had met someone while I was at One Taste
00:12:58.880who had been a part of the organization for a while. I think he was volunteering for them.
00:13:03.520And and he was abusive. And ultimately, my departure from one taste was due to the fact that I needed to protect myself, stay safe and get out of a abusive relationship.
00:13:16.060And I think that is just so incredibly brave, you know, to be able to walk away.
00:13:24.060So in hindsight, you thought you were joining a sex-positive wellness community that promised female empowerment that was founded by women, right?
00:13:40.000and ultimately felt like a sex cult that led to some very abusive behavior does that is that
00:13:49.940accurate yeah absolutely and i also feel like i was disillusioned too because i think when
00:13:59.300you're marketed to as i was during the time i was there which was in the 2010s um they even had a0.72
00:14:07.760shirt that said the pussy nose you're fed these language this empowerment language and you're0.93
00:14:13.720being fed a practice you're being shared with this practice that is supposed to be quote unquote for0.96
00:14:17.780women like for you me you know but ultimately what's happening is it's not that and it's an
00:14:25.720exploitation of women to sell women to men men were their main client and the women were being
00:14:34.800kind of marketed to, but ultimately their clients were men. The men in what I found being there,
00:14:42.640men who had lower social skills couldn't potentially meet women on their own. This
00:14:48.800was a way for them to connect with women, but ultimately we were being positioned to be sold
00:14:57.940to men and so was it the men who were financially supporting the practice the group you know i don't
00:15:07.400i don't totally know in terms of who paid what but i do i do based on my experience felt like
00:15:14.120there was a sentiment around there was a teaching called aversion at one taste and we were as women
00:15:21.880encouraged to own with people and a lot of the men in these um at least during my time were
00:15:29.280significantly older than me and not people that in real life outside of this practice i would allow
00:15:34.180to touch me or to be intimate with and if it's encouraged that you need to practice with these
00:15:42.040people and it's a sexual practice to me that felt like a form of for lack of a better term but
00:15:51.280trafficking, you know, or I'm being encouraged to go against my no. And it wasn't like someone
00:16:01.820specifically said to me, you must do this. Or, you know, no one was saying to me, I need you to do
00:16:08.500this. Or they didn't, there wasn't that type of language. It was a culture and it was an environment
00:16:14.460that had teachings that encouraged this type of behavior. And I think that anytime that you're
00:16:20.400encouraging people to explore um their innate or their intuition which is a no and you're like ah
00:16:30.420but think about it this other way it's like well this person just said no and you're basically
00:16:35.480asking them to override their no so in that way these men would keep coming back like the theory
00:16:43.940Right. Because if women really held to their no and they really were like, I'm only going to own with people that I'm sleeping with or that for my partner, meaning if it was relationship based.0.93
00:16:56.580But it's not. It's it's to kind of allow women to own with anyone in the community, which I think supports the idea that they want these men to continue to pay towards the organization.0.80
00:17:06.520Otherwise, they're just going to walk away. They're not going to keep giving money because they're not they're not having any any own partners.
00:17:12.800You know, and I think that it would have been a healthier way to do things if this was a practice that was just being taught and you could come in for one or two days with your partner and learn it.
00:17:24.960But instead of instead of it, it's being like, oh, go out there and own with everyone in this community versus it being something that you really get to choose and be clear about.
00:17:39.180I want to take a quick break. And when we get back, I want to talk about how you got out and then also how you healed from that.
00:17:56.840Okay, we are back. Was it easy to leave one taste?
00:18:00.980For me, it was actually really challenging because for about two years, I was in a abusive relationship, again, with someone who was deeply involved in One Taste. And my continuation with the organization was fully tangled up with him.
00:18:25.760so it probably would have been a lot easier to leave one taste had i not been in this situation
00:18:36.000that i was in it's extremely hard to leave a situation where you know i was i was being
00:18:43.640abused it was narcissistic abuse and with that particular type of behavior it was extremely hard
00:18:50.340because of the tactics that they would use to employ against me if I tried to leave.
00:18:58.760That was like really scary, which is why I had to radically change my life to really get out.
00:19:06.780And I'm lucky that I had my family help me with that.
00:19:10.240But I mean, it was a really, really hard time.
00:19:14.760And I'm super grateful that there was an incredible treatment center that I was able to go to almost immediately.
00:19:20.340Not right away, because I had to find out about this treatment center, but I was able to get to a treatment center, and I did that program, and that was really what helped me.
00:19:37.140I mean, what did you have to process to be able to feel whole again?
00:19:43.080And after the abuse and after by your partner, but then also after experiencing this within the community.
00:19:54.060You know, it's interesting because I don't think that the healing journey ever ended for me.
00:19:59.020I think that there was a lot to unpack that I'm actually just even starting to understand now as, you know, as I'm doing a show about this stuff and talking more openly about it.
00:20:08.120Because there was first I had to process the fact that I was abused because I didn't even fully wrap my head around what was happening to me.
00:20:16.720And, you know, spending 18 weeks in a very rigorous treatment program that was ultimately helping me understand what had happened to me and see it from a new perspective.
00:20:29.820And then, of course, there's the ongoing therapy around being in cults and how to, you know, overcome that piece.
00:20:37.500So there's like two separate things. And then, and then it's like, also, there's the internalized misogyny, the exploitation of women, how patriarchy hides in these spaces. And then it's like unpacking all of that stuff, too. And how I how did I end up here in the first place? And what, you know, without trying to victim blame my own self, but I was also curious, like, what was it exactly about me that I felt so seduced?
00:21:07.500by and drawn to this organization. And I have understood those pieces of me because they've
00:21:13.820come up a lot for me recently, just like in my life. I understand the allure. I understand the
00:21:18.600seduction of it. But yeah, the unpacking of it and kind of like, there were so many layers. So
00:21:25.280it almost just, it just, it's an ongoing process. Like the idea that healing isn't linear is so
00:21:30.760real. Like it really is true. And you decided to create a show about this, which, I mean,
00:21:38.760as someone who, I mean, I really mine all of my personal trauma and try to heal from my personal
00:21:45.640trauma by creating things and writing about them. Why did you choose? I'm so curious why you chose
00:21:52.540to make a show about this and tell us a little bit about the show. Thanks. Yeah. Well, I think
00:22:00.280that comedy is trauma plus time. It's really interesting why I wanted to use comedy to talk
00:22:09.000about it. From my perspective, as a survivor, I find it really hard to digest narratives that
00:22:18.700are kind of trauma porn or exploitive. I can't even speak exploitive. You know what I'm saying,
00:22:25.520the word I'm trying to say. Oh, I do. Blame the monkeys. Just say you've been distracted by a
00:22:30.260I am distracted by the monkeys. They're really cute. So it's kind of like when I see these, it's really hard to watch. It's really hard to digest. It's really hard to process as a survivor. And I want survivors to come to the show.
00:22:44.960I think that most audiences digest material that is more challenging or difficult when it is comedy. We're able to say more. We can really point stuff out using comedy as a tool. So that's the number one reason why I wanted to talk about it as a comedy show.
00:23:04.980But I think the reason that I wanted to talk about my experience is that we're seeing right now narcissistic collapse in society.
00:23:12.920And that to me really was like, okay, now seems to be the moment.
00:23:18.500Astrologically, I'm going to get a little, go a little, I'm going to go there.
00:23:22.680Astrologically, there was a moment, I think it was a few months ago, where everything was mimicking 2016.
00:23:31.040Like we were having, remember that moment?
00:23:33.580I do, actually. Yes. Yes. And you know what? At this point, I don't think anyone can go
00:23:39.440go too far flung. Right. Just the world is insane. So go there. Go to all the places, girl.
00:23:45.860Yeah. Yeah. I had to go there. I mean, Trump got reelected and I'm like, OK, this is mimicking
00:23:49.580the exact moment Trump was elected the first time while I was in one taste. There was that moment
00:23:56.060in time. And I feel like this was like a callback. And I'm like, now is the time. I just truly it was
00:24:01.260that it was like now is the time to talk about this i didn't even think that i i had spoken to
00:24:06.380a few people probably for years about i should really i have tried i tried so many times to go
00:24:13.780on podcasts and to write my write an article and to talk and i just never could i just never could
00:24:21.420and then suddenly i'm like now's the time now now is the time now is the time yeah it just it just
00:24:28.080made more sense. So was it hard to construct something funny out of this? Because I will tell
00:24:35.180you, there is a lot of humor to be had in the subject matter generally, right? And also a lot
00:24:43.080of things that are very hard to talk about. So, you know, what did it take to be able to make
00:24:48.720this very traumatic experience funny well I mean I've been writing one woman shows
00:24:58.860since I was in one taste actually it was during that time um it actually started my whole journey
00:25:07.180with um with solo theater when I was so it was 2016 or 2017 where yeah I was living in San
00:25:14.200Francisco, I was leaving. I was on the departure. I was on the way out. And I was starting to talk
00:25:19.480about sexual assault and rape culture. And I got really empowered by the idea of presenting
00:25:25.920things theatrically that people could connect with. And I started out through spoken word poetry
00:25:33.880in Oakland. And eventually I got on the Oakland Slam poetry team, which was a huge thing at the
00:25:38.440time like I'm was I'm so grateful that I had that experience and such an honor but that sort of led
00:25:44.800me to want to explore more and like okay maybe I make a monologue out of my experiences and
00:25:51.240eventually just one thing led to another so so over the years I've um and I have a background
00:25:57.440in improv and sketch comedy and I trained at UCB and groundlings and um even in college I study
00:26:03.000theater. So I just sort of like naturally gravitate towards this. And so the way that
00:26:10.300my mind works is through jokes, I guess. Yeah, I love that. I do. The show is going to be at Fringe,
00:26:19.980right? Yeah, the New York Fringe at the Wild Project in April. Wild. I love that. But have
00:26:27.060you performed it for audiences yet? No, it's going to receive its premiere at the New York Fringe.
00:26:32.120We, I mean, there's, there might be like a preview show that we might do.
00:26:37.900The Fringe is going to do like two minutes.
00:26:40.100I think I'm going to do two minutes of it at some point, which is not two minutes.
00:26:45.680But yeah, I think that that's going to be its premiere is on April 2nd at the Wild Project.
00:27:01.560I will. I will. All right. Let's take one more break. And when we get back, I want to talk about wellness culture influencing and how, I mean, I do think that what was happening with One Taste was such an early precursor to this wellness culture. And now, I mean, we are living, it feels like we're living in the vortex, the matrix of it. So I want to get into all of this.
00:30:00.340I need you to just like fully, fully explain it to all of us that may know nothing.
00:30:04.260Okay, so David Wolf was a raw food advocate. He advocated also for raw cacao. He owned a farm in Hawaii called Noni Land. David Wolf is a longevity expert. He was at the time really big into longevity and finding fruits and superfoods. And he's really known for that term, superfoods. And I think he even owned at one time a company.
00:30:26.960but he's also one of the co-founders of the longevity conference was like a big thing
00:30:30.820which like longevity right isn't even the term that we even use anymore it's biohacking now
00:30:36.980there's like a lot of things that you know were changed but at the time longevity so he would
00:30:43.420give he gave talks at air one they were free i went to them i think you know you could try food
00:30:48.180he was a part of like this community that i was a part of he what didn't seem like a somebody out
00:30:53.180there in the world that was an educator, but more like closer to my friends and people I was
00:30:57.740hanging out with. Anyway, point is, Erwin was kind of a place we'd go hang out and they had
00:31:03.760this tonic bar. And it was just very chill. Like, it's like, oh, I'm going to go to this place. No
00:31:11.080one really knows to go here. It just seemed very, again, very kind of fringe. I'm like, I'm just
00:31:15.520going to go have a Jinger tonic. Like, what is that? People weren't into it. They didn't think
00:31:20.460it was okay it was just a thing we did late at night we went to this tonic bar and now is this
00:31:27.960is this around the same time as moon juice moon juice wasn't even born yet at this time okay so
00:31:33.360this is pre-moon juice i remember the whole moon juice it was amanda bacon right yep yep okay okay
00:31:40.800pre-moon this was pre-moon juice this was probably 2011 or 2010 maybe or 2012 even but
00:31:49.100nothing fat nothing beyond 2012 okay okay all right keep going keep going okay so so basically
00:31:58.020why i want to use this as an example is because things that i did that were pretty private and
00:32:03.660were pretty what i felt small groups of people and not you know i had no idea that erwin would
00:32:10.580expand it would become kind of a phenomenon influencer culture hayley bieber would have
00:32:15.400her own drink there like the fact that it went from okay cool a few of us are going to go hang
00:32:20.300out at this tonic bar and drink some some drinks and our friends were the ones at the tonic bar
00:32:26.620and owning the different herb company it was just very like it wasn't a big anyway and to see it go
00:32:33.020from one thing that's kind of how it's felt with so much of the of this wellness industry it got
00:32:40.260It's so popularized, so normalized, even to go as far as there was a thing called the Hot Girl Walk, which I used I went on those in Miami.
00:32:53.360OK, so the Hot Girl Walk, I think, was a response to all of us in our homes and covid and needing to reconnect with each other again.
00:33:04.160And there was a term called hot girl, which Megan Thee Stallion, I think, coined hot girl summer, hot girl. And it led to someone forming a walk for women to go on. And the thing about this, it's so wellness, right? Because you're wanting to get your 10K steps in and you're dressed in these matching outfits that people sometimes provided for you on the hot girl walk because they were an influencer and they were gifted.
00:33:31.380And if you go, you get these, these like different wellness, you get crystals, you get different things if you went on these hot girl walks. And I guess that it promotes whoever's hosting the hot girl walk.
00:33:44.440So just the idea that so many people are just that interested in this wellness culture that there's now all over these cities, this was a few years ago, that there's this hot girl walk that exists, and then the biohacking people.
00:34:03.940And for me, I, I didn't understand, you know, there was a place called Bulletproof Coffee in Santa Monica. Again, like one store, they were the first people that I ever heard talk about biohacking. This was years ago. And to see it get into this huge industry now, so much has grown. And yeah, there, I could say a lot about this, but.
00:34:24.760So much has grown. And when all of this was first starting in the 2010s, 2011, social media existed, but not to the extent it does today. And ideas did not spread virally in the way that they do today. How do you think social media has changed wellness culture and how a lot of these ideas that used to be considered fringe can spread more mainstream much more quickly?
00:34:50.040Yeah. Well, one thing I'll say is that there isn't a regulation for this wellness industrial complex. There's no regulation for it. So what I'm finding and what I found over the years, especially like a couple of years ago, I really noticed it. Maybe it still is now.
00:35:07.840But what I noticed is that there are people who just pop up with a ton of followers and a ton of influence. And there's no real fact check or way of vetting this person that they are a qualified person in the industry that they're claiming to teach on or lead on or be a leading voice in.
00:35:30.480And they just sort of show up with a platform one day and we're giving them permission to be a leading voice in the wellness industry. And it's like, well, wait a second now, just because you're wearing mala beads and you're going to go to Bali and host a retreat, like, where did you train? What's going on here? Because it used to be in the quote unquote fringe wellness before wellness. The fringe subcultures I was a part of is there was lineage. There was like fact checking. There was vetting. There was apprenticeship.
00:35:56.360you know you knew someone because they had studied with somebody else that you knew that
00:36:01.120studied with this that eventually goes back into some sort of vetted reliable source that kind of
00:36:07.820gets you back to the origin of the thing that they're teaching about there was an origin story
00:36:12.740and you're like okay i can trust this person to lead me to bali or wherever because i understand
00:36:17.580where they're coming from and and but now it's like there's just hype around oh this in this
00:36:23.640influencer or this person and the age of the retreat boom has happened that just retreats
00:36:29.980retreats retreats and oh my god I'm so sick of it I'm so sick of it like what's happening
00:36:35.440yeah I mean everyone and their sister is running a retreat of some sort where the majority of these
00:36:44.300people do not seem qualified to be gathering any humans and talking to them to be honest
00:36:50.020But I do think that that is also related to the flip side of social media, which is we want to be back in real life again.
00:36:58.160We do want to be back in real life again.
00:37:00.120I think that that's a really good point that you're raising because the whole point of One Taste for a lot of people was belonging and connection.
00:37:08.520And they really use that, those terms, in a lot of their marketing, too.
00:37:16.900I mean, wellness culture has infiltrated capitalism, or you could say capitalism infiltrated wellness culture.
00:37:23.560Regardless, it is such a huge multi-multi-multi-billion dollar industry at this point where you could argue that a lot of these subsets of wellness have become cult-like in a way.
00:37:41.040And I'm also just confused as to why there isn't more inquiry around origin and why it's gotten to the point where we're just accepting without the inquiry piece or wanting to truly be educated on some of these things from a real place.
00:38:05.060um i think that there's a lot of confusion around someone who's educating versus marketing to you
00:38:13.980like what's someone could be giving you what you need to hear just that you'll buy the product
00:38:19.760well absolutely and i think that is just that is constantly the end goal and now we have
00:38:27.160influencers who are constantly screaming all of these things at you from a little screen
00:38:32.440in the palms of your hand, I worry so much more that we are going to see many more situations
00:38:42.680like OneTaste evolve from social media, from bringing in vulnerable populations into something
00:38:50.440that ultimately is not safe for them. What do you think about that? Yeah, I agree. I'm wondering
00:38:58.160what the solution is. I mean, I think that the wellness industry needs regulation. And I think
00:39:02.520that that translates obviously to online. And I think that there hasn't really been a
00:39:11.640discourse around the influencer wellness culture. Yeah, no, there hasn't been. I was just talking
00:39:21.460about this with my friend, Emily Amick, who is a political influencer, who I talk about things like
00:39:27.940Maha and political influencing with all day long. And I was telling her that when I was in Utah
00:39:35.400last week, I saw a lot of Maha flags, make America healthy again, flags being flown as political
00:39:42.840flags, which I think is really interesting. I think that there is now just that the people's
00:39:48.440political identities are now tied up in this wellness culture. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:39:56.360yeah wow the flag the flag the flag yeah exactly exactly so i mean all the things it is just it is
00:40:06.520it is absolute madness can you leave us with what you think is the funniest bit
