Hello and welcome to another elephant in the room episode of We Only Look Thin.

I am Catherine Weigel.

I've lost about 145 pounds.

And with me today is the man who puts the pring back in Pringle.

Donald, Wigel.

And yes, I'm the man who puts the pickback and pickle also.

Sure, why not? The pring and pringle, the pick and pickle. I have lost about 100 pounds and I'm here to tell you about it.

Congratulations. We are recording this episode as we have fallen back.

Yes.

We have fallen back. It is November 1st when we were recording this episode. So much of November and December has not yet happened. So this is a predictive episode. This is an episode where nothing has actually happened yet, but things are going to happen.

Yeah, this is going to come out fairly shortly before Thanksgiving in the United States of America.

If you're elsewhere, I...

Six weeks after Thanksgiving in Canada.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I, you know, I know various countries around the world have various versions of Thanksgiving, but here it is a tradition that typically revolves around family get-togethers and food.

Yeah, and it kicks off the season of eating for us.

Yes, yes, the holiday season. And we wanted to do an episode

a little less traditional than our usual. You know, we've done a few episodes about

navigating the holidays in the past. And we wanted to do one that focuses a little more on the

current times with COVID and the political climate.

And, you know, just a fun holiday chit-chat, just a fireside episode.

Just a little bit of a trigger warning here.

We are going to talk about COVID probably quite a bit.
