Summary

Tom Segura joins Ethan on a journey through the ups and downs of weight management and self-acceptance. Remember that eighth-grade breakup that sent you spiraling? Tom recounts how a similar experience motivated him to hit the pavement and sparked a lifelong battle with weight concerns. They share personal tales that reveal how even external successes can mask inner insecurities, and emphasize the universal connection between our internal struggles and how we project ourselves to the world.

Tom and Ethan dive into the nitty-gritty of diets gone awry, the relentless availability of junk food at comedy clubs, and how this lifestyle can wreak havoc on one's self-esteem. We explore the tightrope walk between physical health and mental well-being, underscoring the relentless effort necessary to strike a balance in the whirlwind of showbiz.
