This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, welcome to the naughty, but nice show. I'm your host. Rob Shooter, and it's Tuesday, which means our dear friend, Delana Dixon joins us. Hey, Miss Dee, are you there? I am, and I'm so ready for the holiday season. Ooh. Oh, me too. Talking of holiday seasons, we just got invited. David Barton and Suzanne Barge. I love these two.

David Barton is the gym king queen, some might say, of New York City. He runs this fabulous dream.

Quite close to me, Misty, on 23rd Street. I've been there many, many times. It's a great place to work out.

It's sort of like a fabulous gym, but also a nightclub.

It has a really cool vibe about it. His partner, Suzanne Barsh, is the queen of late night

burlesque in New York City. I've been to several of her shows. They're very naughty, but they're very

nice. They're very cheeky, but they're also really, really sweet.

She really blends that sort of late night vibe with also, I think, being a really good person.

Well, I know they're really good people because they've invited us, Misty, to their annual toy drive and holiday party.

It's going to be on December 12th, Misty. Are you game? Should we go together? Absolutely. Actually, I've been collecting my toys. I went to the opening of the gym, so they reopened recently in the areas you're speaking of. And they're such a cute couple. The gym is fantastic. So I'm just gathering my toys and I'm ready to go. Let's go. And if anybody knows a good gym, Misty, it's you. You know your way around the gym, darling. You are, you really do. I'm going to go today. There you go. Okay, let's jump into our show. What time is it, my friends, it is? Tea time. Big story at the top of the show. A shocking story. So Hoda has announced she's leaving the Today Show. She's leaving in just a few weeks. I think she only has three or four weeks left. And when you leave a job, you get a little bit more free, a little bit more open. You can say stuff that you might not say if you still works there. So Hoda is revealing something quite outrageous. She said a former boss

had a very shocking comment to her about her weight, claiming maybe try the treadmill. So let's be

clear here. Hoda is sharing that one of her first bosses at a local news station. So before

Hoda became the fabulous Hoda we know on national TV,

like everybody else, you start at the beginning and Hoda started at a local news station and she said

she was encouraged to lose weight with a very blunt suggestion. She said the following quote.

I still remember my boss going to me. Hey, Hoda, and I was like,

yes, and he goes, hey, I got an idea. Maybe you want to try and get on the treadmill. Oh, my goodness.

Now at the time, Hobart said that she played baseball in high school, and she thought of herself really is in good shape.

Even though after college, she probably wasn't, Jenna Bush, who's on the show with Hoda, was shocked by the comment, and she gasped, no.

What do you think, Mr. I mean, nobody wants to be criticized about their body, especially for a job.
