I am.
And you're a little too good looking for a writer.
It's very nice of you to say. You know, writers tend to be, like, funny looking because we're, you know, trapped behind computers and things.
Yeah.
Which is, I think, maybe... Well, thank you.

Chapter 2: Who is Anna David and what is her background?
You know what I'm getting lately? The chick from Glee. You know that show? She's really pretty. I'm totally into it. All that stuff. But it's like the nose. It's the Juneau's.
Oh, do you have a Juneau's?
Well, what's odd is only from one side. Look at this. Look at this. See? Cute nose.
Right. Wow.
It's kind of amazing.
Wow.
Juneau's. Dad's nose. Mom's nose.
On either side of the same face.

Chapter 3: What are the dynamics of beauty and writing discussed?
It's real.
And it looks real. Yeah. So you've been blessed.
Yeah, you know what? That part was good.
But let's focus on your mind, because that's the part that really turns me on about a woman. I love when guys who are with supermodels get interviewed and have to explain that that's really the most attractive part of a woman. Right, right. Why are you with the super hot chick from the Victoria's Secret catalog if that's the part that you're so attracted to?
It doesn't work that way. We all get divvied up, certain qualities. Like, I think when you're that... Like, look, Heidi Klum couldn't be that cool. I mean, I don't know, but, like, it just doesn't work that way.
I find her annoying. And I think she's an imbecile. And I think if she was from North Carolina, we'd just realize what a fucking retard she was. But because she has the accent. And if you watch that show, okay, that show pisses me off. What is that show called?
Project Runway.
Project Runway. She gets nominated for like an Emmy every fucking year. She comes on for eight seconds and like says, have the judges reached a decision? And then she walks off.
I didn't know she actually got nominated. But like, here's the thing.

Chapter 4: How do reality shows reflect societal values?
I like when you try to I like I like when you try to replant the cat somewhere and it doesn't work. So sort of like what we did with the American Indians. I go, listen, I know you're sitting on my chair right now. Now, here's what I'm going to do. I am going to lift you up as quietly and as gingerly as I possibly can by sliding both hands under you. We have a lot of support. Lift you up.
And then I'm going to sit on the chair and place you right back down on my lap in the exact same position you were before I entered the room. And you do it. And the cat sits on your lap. And the cat gives you like a two Mississippi. And then they're like, fuck this. I'm out of here. And you're like, well, wait. You're in the same position you were before. You're just with me.
And they're like, you know what, old man? I ain't buying this shit. I'm out of here. I'm going on top of the fridge. Yeah, that's more comfortable than your... I'm going to my fortress of solitude on top of the fridge. I don't need you fucking stepping on my tail while I'm drinking. And that's what they do. I love the fact that the cat's attitude is fuck you.
It's true. It's true. I've got a cat who really does that. I mean, I've got a troubled one. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who, like, bites and scratches and hisses.
Yeah, I mean, that's taking it a step further, which is not only are they just sort of neutral on your existence, they want you to die.
Yeah.
Like, your cat's like, fuck off. What are you doing in our apartment?
They live there. I just pay the rent.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What is the Kirstie Alley syndrome and how does it relate to beauty standards?
It's the exact opposite of the Kirstie Alley syndrome, which is she has a very thin face. Thus, if you take a look at Kirstie... First off, Kirstie Alley went from one of the most beautiful women on TV... Don't make that close.
I just don't agree with that, but go on.
When you see her... Old cheers. Old cheers. I'm not saying she was... She was pretty. Breathtaking. No, no, but she was more than pretty. She had, like, piercing blue eyes. Yes. Or green or blue eyes. Right. She had blue eyes. She had a very, like, angular face. She was... You take a look at her in her heyday, whatever, look who's talking to, or whatever movie she did, or Cheers or something.
She was... Striking is probably a little bit of a hyperbole, but she's a very attractive woman.
Chapter 6: How does weight gain impact perceptions of celebrity appearances?
And she managed to get up to 300 pounds. And if you take a look at her during the interim, like at 165, 180. She was still hot? Her face never changed. So you'd see her go on The Tonight Show, and all of a sudden she's wearing these sort of flowing gowns like she's in Hart, you know? Like she's Stevie Nicks or something. All of a sudden, because she has to cover her ass up. Right, right.
But when you show the tight shot of her on camera... Doesn't look like she's gained an ounce. So what happens is, is if when your face gets fat, you go home, you see yourself on The Tonight Show and you go, oh, Jesus Christ, I got a pumpkin head. I got to put that donut down and do it.
Chapter 7: What are the psychological implications of eating disorders discussed?
Her ass went past her face because for years you didn't know she was getting fat. We didn't know Kirstie Alley was getting fat until she got to 300 pounds.
I really do agree with part of this, and I think that's important to acknowledge. Because you've seen these posters. I don't know what she's doing now, but have you seen these posters? Yes. And I'm like, that's not Kirstie. It says Kirstie Alley. I'm like, that's not Kirstie Alley because the whole thing about her, she's big because it just shows her face.
And her face looks like it's on a 125-pound body, not a 255-pound body.
But here's my spiel. You know, I'm like into recovery and all of that stuff. Eating disorders don't develop because you go on camera and you see your face and it looks fat.
Chapter 8: How do societal expectations affect personal body image and eating habits?
I mean, eating disorders are based around the same thing that alcoholism and addiction is based around. Sure. Which is just like a desire to control, a dysfunction, and, you know, excess and sort of trying to escape your feelings, you know.
I agree.
And probably she has just as much of an eating disorder, I don't know, but as some anorexic girl who throws up and is bulimic too. Um.
Because it's all food obsession. There are a whole bunch of things that are ingrained early on that can be activated by the environment to some degree. Yes. And you take a look at Tracy Gold from Growing Pains or something. And you take a look at a lot of these actresses who had the eating disorder. They have full faces. They look heavier than they look... in real life on camera.
So they have to become emaciated in order to get their head down to a size that looks normal on camera.
I'm not saying this theory has no merit.
It has tons of merit. I just, real, I just, and guys are the same way. There are guys who have that sort of, just in real life, have that perpetually thin face and they'll get a big fat gut on them and it's like, no one, they never, they're not shaving going, I gotta lose weight.
Right, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But they are getting naked in the shower.
They see the gut, but Kirstie Alley had a huge ass and a huge gut, but she would wear this flowing shit and she'd walk out on Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her ass got plenty big and her face never changed until someone took that picture. Right. She would just wear flowing, more flowing shit, but she never went on a diet.
