Hi, this is Clementine Ford, and you are listening to Storyworthy.

Welcome to The Story Worthy.

Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hanna Svign.

Welcome to Storyworthy.

My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Svini, and we're coming to you from the Hampton Inn in West Memphis, Arkansas. Ask me why. Why? Because our guest was born in Memphis, and the only place I've ever stayed near Memphis is West Memphis, Arkansas. Oh, my gosh. At the Hampton Inn where I got an ear infection in the pool.

Honest, you have led a glamorous life. I'll say that. Oh, no, no, no. People don't even know. People don't even know. Wait a minute. The town, the name of the town is West Memphis. West Memphis, across the river from Memphis. Okay, because our guest tonight, Clementine Ford, she is from Memphis, Tennessee. Right, Memphis, not some bullshit like West Memphis.

She's ready to walk out the door right now if I say she was born in West Memphis. And here we are at the Hampton Inn, and what a lovely ballroom they have. They don't have a ballroom. We're in the parking lot. We've set up a table in the parking lot. It's still the most glamorous place in town. Listen, I'm really excited about tonight's guest. Her name is Clementide Ford. She is an actress. And Matt Oswald, you know our friend Matt Oswald, a friend of the show. Friend of the show. He sends over talent now and then. And this is one of his, he says, Christine, this girl has a story. He gets 10% of nothing. Exactly. Of absolutely nothing. But he, yeah, by the way, Matt Oswald at, it's at Puddinstrip, right? This is his Twitter. His Twitter is the best Twitter you'll ever read. It is, but let me, this is exciting and it's an update. His Twitter has changed. What? It is now at Matt Oswald, VA, Virginia. So it's at Matt Oswald, VA. But if you go to at Puddin Strip, it'll direct you there.

All right. Good. All right. So our guest tonight, Clementine Ford, she is talking tonight about real body, real issues. And I know she's addressing this one particular magazine, people magazine. And this one, I want to say episode.

That's not what I'm trying to say. You kids today, you may not.

One issue. Magazines are something printed on paper. Yeah. Well, you would turn pages. It physically exists in the real world. But there was a particular issue called real body, real issues, and they had five people, talents, mostly actresses. I think we're a couple of dancers. and basically they were sizes like four to eight and ten.

I mean, all small sizes. Yeah, like that's like ten. That's insane. Like America isn't a size 50 most places. But anyway, nonetheless, it's a pretty big deal to get into a magazine, take your clothes off, and say this is who I am. So no matter who you are, I mean, there's people size two that are uncomfortable with her body. Right. So this is a big deal, and this is what she's talking about. Honest, have you ever taken your clothes off for a magazine? Not for a magazine, but as you recall, for the TV movie, the Breaking Vegas for the History Channel. I did have a nude scene in that. Tell us about your nude scene, Honest.

Well, okay, so this was like based on a book on a real thing of the MIT Blackjack Team.

Right.

And I played the very nerdy professor who headed the MIT Blackjack Team.

I know what a stretch.

I'm like Gary Oldman.

I just disappear into the nerdness.

So it was supposed to be that they think we're card counters, which is technically legal, but they don't like it.

So they accused me of having a computer hidden on my body, which makes me mad.

So I'm in a security office, and I take off all my clothes to prove that I don't have a computer. And it was like, so I'm in this. So they're like shooting, we're shooting at a real casino, but they're shooting the video screen. So in the office, it's only two other actors. So I, you know, I'm like, eh, I don't know. I'll do it with a jockstrap. We'll see how that looks.

And I do that.
