Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Glutton. Outside of acting my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast

we're going to talk about all of it. Food as entertainment, food as sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person just like you and me.

Today on American Glutton I'm talking with actress and mother of two Erica Christiansen.

I've known Erica for many, many years and I hope you enjoy this conversation. Our producer

Naurot said it was like listening to two people standing in their kitchen talking, which

I found to be a huge compliment. Please enjoy. You can find Erica on Instagram at Erica

Christiansen. Erica Christiansen, welcome to the American Glutton podcast. Thank you so much.

I'm very excited. I was going to call you EC and then I was like, but then that's weird

because people don't know. I know there's, I think there's going to be a lot of things

where I'm going to have to catch myself and explain what I'm talking about because

I'm not just talking to you. Right. Talking to other people. Yes. Or whispering into

the minds of other people. Yes. We're sharing very, very, very many things.

We've exercised together a lot. Many hours more than most people. Yeah. Which is crazy.

It's really, it's so intensely like emotional and I'm very grateful. It was good exercise.

It was really good. Yeah. It's been a while. It's been a while. We both quit basically.

Pretty much. You know, what we're talking about is riding bicycles out into the world. Yeah.

And some spin classes. Yeah. But it, that is one of the things where we both became quite

good at it. And in order to stay good, you got to spend a lot of time doing it. Yeah. It's,

it's, it was actually a short period of time, relatively speaking. You had already been

riding a year when you told me to buy a bike and I did. Yeah. Like the next day. Yeah.
