Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra,
Happy 100, 100,
awesome, thank you.
You know, for those numberly challenged like myself.
We have officially hit 100 weeks of our podcast
and we have some super special news to share with you.
So we're going to do that in a few different ways.
So many different ways, yeah.
First way is that we have an announcement
and it's going to be so fun for the next 100 episodes.
And the second way is how we're going to tell you
about that announcement.
And we're going to go on Instagram Live.
So we are patiently waiting for when we go live right now.
And then you're going to all be in on the Instagram Live with us
because we're going to record the whole thing.
So if you did not get to have an Instagram Live moment with us
because you're at work,
you're going to hear how it went down.
Okay.
So we're super excited about this.
This is back track.
We're super nervous about this.
I maybe Victoria is excited.
I have no idea what's going on.
Well, I don't think that's any different than any week to be fair.
But yeah, I've actually never gone Instagram Live
on any account that I am on.
So let's cross our fingers and hope that it works.
But I looked up some things on the Google
that told my 36 year old self how to do it.
Well, that's our favorite thing to do.
The Google?
No, not know what we're doing and just do it.
Well, what did I text you the other day?
We're going in blind.
But we're just going to jump.
That's how we do.
But also how we keep telling you not to do.
I know.
We've spent 100 episodes telling you how to prepare
and how to get yourself worked out, worked it out
and feel like no pressure.
And that is all we do to ourselves.
I think we run on a little bit of chaos
and Christmas cheer all year long.
However, I don't want to.
I don't want to do that anymore.
No, but we're going to continue to do it
because 2025 is no different.
It probably doesn't like change.
Let's get into it.
I'm Victoria.
Hey, guys, I'm Carly.
How has it been listening to that for 100 weeks?
I'd like to say I am a person of consistency
and I will never change it.
And I can't change it if I tried because I it's in my it's in my body.
Yeah, and Carly is the stereotypical person to say it's who I am.
It is who it is.
It is just who I am.
Yeah.
Screw change.
I think you're a person of consistency
and also to quote our brother savagely annoying.
I have never been more complimented.
I also haven't written him back yet, which I totally forgot to.
He talked about it with everybody and then I was like, Oh my God,
I forgot to write him back.
He called me savagely annoying and I laughed so hard
and I think he meant to try and hurt my feelings, but it didn't work.
100 percent.
He was trying to tear you down, but that's impossible
and Carly has no emotions.
So we are we're going to go straight into the Instagram live
and bring you all along with us.
Let's do it.
Three, two, one.
We are now live.
Yeah, we are.
But just me.
So let's add.
Let's add.
So about right.
So I go down here.
Request send.
Sarah is here.
What up, Sarah?
She do do.
All right, I have invited see fit fitness.
There I am.
You're so close to me.
Get away.
First of all, put your volume down.
Like turn it.
We don't need to hear it.
And we don't need to hear it here either.
OK, I think we figured it out.
Remember when Victoria just likes to do things on the fly?
You can do do it, Sarah.
Maybe stop yelling.
Sorry.
I listen.
You told me I didn't have to get dressed up for this.
And now like this budget, there's no budget for fit to be real for like a glam team.
Hi, Emma.
She's yelling at me.
What's up, sisters?
Anyone the sisters understands?
Well, I am yelling at you.
Everyone.
Why are you yelling in general?
Hey, guys, it's Carly.
Guys, this is what it's like.
This is what it's like every single Tuesday that we record, usually at 9 30.
I know today is Wednesday, but Carly forgot to write things down with her schedule yesterday.
No, no, no.
I wrote it down.
I read it wrong.
And I got my son's Christmas concert day wrong.
So as I was driving over here to record, I was told it was his concert and I needed to
hurry up and go back to his last preschool concert.
He is the third child.
It is not my fault.
He's been in preschool for two years.
This is his third year of preschool.
So I was like, hurry up, Victoria, can you watch Lois?
We can't record.
I have to go to Dean's Christmas show.
Okay.
No, it story is not important.
So we are recording this live in two ways.
The screen as well is on our episode.
So this is going to be our 100th episode, which is wild that we're even doing it.
And we have an announcement.
My God.
As well.
What is it?
Do I know what it is?
I'm not sure.
I think I mentioned it to you in a text message a couple of days ago and said, it doesn't matter.
We're doing it.
Okay.
So you didn't actually read it and all you saw was it doesn't matter and moved on.
You know, so what is our announcement?
Our announcement starting next week, which is 101, which is also our two year anniversary
technically two years.
Deuces.
I literally do this stuff with her and she either cuts it or rolls her eyes.
Now you can watch her roll her eyes.
Well, that's the announcement.
We are videoing everything.
So you can now.
Oh, I don't think so.
What?
Okay.
You can now watch as it's happening.
It won't be live.
We're going to record when we record like most podcasts do and then we'll put it out,
but you can.
We're going to set up our camera.
We're going to have a whole studio.
It's going to be great.
Well, there is a lot of things that I don't think you want to say though.
Like your hair.
I mean,
or it's a Cindy Lou who type of situation we have, but I mean, I say some things that
I will get in trouble.
I do edit most of the things that Carly sound.
Okay.
I usually edit her out.
Okay.
All right.
Just making sure there's still a time editing button.
You can, but not as much with a video.
So in any case, Carly didn't know about it.
She's also here for the announcement, but that is that I am not the boss with the
Apple sauce.
I did not know this.
I'm going to, oh, I'm looking right now.
I had to get those lines get taken care of before one on one.
Okay.
Well, this is called fit to be real.
So to be real, you shouldn't do that.
Okay.
For instance, we taught this morning and worked on morning.
And so there is no makeup happening.
There is no shower, no care.
There's, it's an Oling's in no shower.
Happy hour.
And every day.
What's up, Julia Finiot.
She knows firsthand.
Julia knows firsthand that there is a no shower.
Happy hour every week.
So I just want to recap.
I don't have to look good, but they're still going to see me.
You have to look real.
So you're normal.
First of all, if you guys know anything about Carly,
she's put together even in sweatpants.
She's got like everything matching from her socks to her sweatpants.
I love a good matching moment, but I don't always look like that.
You know, I don't think anybody should look like that,
but then you'll get to see me do this a lot more.
Wait, you guys want to see what I learned today?
You want to be real?
Should I do it?
No, we're going to lose everybody.
Aren't we?
Well, there's five.
Okay.
Oh, God.
She's meowing for those of you who are only listening to this next week.
She's doing something called meowing, which I don't understand because I'm not.
Meowing.
Yes, Emma.
Wait, she said 100%.
Emma, no, no.
Oh, no.
If you don't know what meowing is, please look it up.
Please look it up because we're not going to talk about it.
I'm not sure what's happening to her face.
Melody taught me on the way to school and said, obviously, you know what meowing is.
I said, obviously, I don't teach me.
And then she said over 50 times that she did not actually watch it on TikTok because she's not allowed to watch TikTok.
So she was overly telling me that her friends taught her and she had never seen a video.
So she actually didn't know if she was doing it right either.
Well, over explanation is a trauma response.
So good job, mom.
I did it again.
Emma said, I think Melody did it best.
Emma, you're correct.
First of all, second of all, I disagree with everything.
What's up, Cam?
But yeah, that is our announcement.
You get to watch Carly live kind of look as well as she sounds.
It all matches.
It matches.
And then I somehow I do like the fact that they might have pictured me in their mind.
Looking good.
Looking like a million bucks.
A million dollars.
Yeah.
But then this is actually what I look and sound like.
More like 50.
You're going to see my nose run.
$50.
So if you don't understand what that is, we know now after 100 weeks that Carly is allergic to laughter and wine and beer.
And coffee sometimes.
She's she's not well, but usually laughter when it comes to Fit to Be Real.
So you'll see her need the tissues.
I constantly have tissues stocked and a lot of editing on my part goes into editing out her sniffles.
Listen in the microphone.
I like to have a good time.
I don't want to edit myself.
But you want to get the wrinkles away.
You like you just told everybody.
Well, when you Mew, you have to do that.
I know.
Isn't there something with like a chin swipe?
That's what you're doing.
That's what they're doing.
They're saying, no, I can't answer that.
My jaw.
I'm working on my jaw.
Andrew and I had to look it up to make sure that Melody wasn't doing something super inappropriate and she just didn't have any idea.
So we just after I after I did it and posted it and for everybody to see, I went home and looked it up.
And it's basically you're working on your jawline and it's for kids when you get asked a question at school and you don't want to answer.
And the teacher's like, hey, Jimmy, what's 10 plus 10?
He goes, yeah, detention, uh-huh.
Demerit.
I need a tissue.
You need a tissue.
We'll go get one.
This this was our announcement.
If you missed it when we.
Said it in the very beginning, we're recording everything video wise so you can see it and watch it and feel like you're on the couch with us.
And sometimes feel like a hostage like you're on the couch with us.
And our guests will be on video as well, which I think our list just went down and down and down because they're going to be like, I don't want to be videoed because it does give a little bit of added pressure.
It shouldn't though.
This is called fit to be real.
And so it's real.
It's not there's not any judgment for looking the way that we look.
Hey, I'm wearing your grandpa sweater.
Yeah, I don't care.
I don't make a bun right now.
I have a lot of sweat though.
That's good.
And I have like a big, you know, I got them all over.
So that's a mole that you've had since birth.
She pointed to a mole that she's had since birth.
Just to be clear.
I just find it out.
I got to get rid of all this stuff.
Okay.
This is our first Instagram live.
It feels awkward.
No, we did Instagram live over COVID.
We used to do dancing on Instagram live.
Do you remember that?
Not as strippers.
No.
No, during COVID, we would be like, oh, we love zoom.
We love making our videos, but we want to interact with you and we want to see you.
So a few times we did it so that we could see who was with us and then we would call them out and.
And sometimes people put their cameras on so we could see who was there, but we did it a few times.
And it was, but Andrew did all of it.
We just stood there.
Oh, yes.
And I remember, Liz remembers, what's up, Liz?
Liz, this will also be a part of our, of our new venture.
Come here.
She's camera shy.
Pepper will be in on all of the fun.
So now you can see her as we tell her to, you'll see her bat the microphone, turn off the, the sound.
She likes to sit on the mixer.
She does.
So today I'm the boss now.
Actually, no, I never want to be the boss.
Hi, Pepper.
What's up, Jewel?
I never want to be the boss again.
I now you're going to get to see me sweat and like do like this with my hands.
They say you sweat every day.
And I have crazy eyes.
I get like really my eyebrows do go when I get nervous.
They see that every week.
You are no surprise to anyone.
There's no mystery.
You like your crazy out.
But today go get a tissue.
Your face today.
Oh wait, we didn't do hey on Victoria.
Hey, I'm Carly for everybody live.
Should be recorded it, but now she wants to do it again.
This is a great episode.
Hey guys, I'm Victoria.
Hey guys, I'm Carly.
And that's how I do it every week.
That's it.
But today, Victoria wanted to reflect on the last 100 episodes.
Or that's what she told me before.
And that's how she got me over here.
And then she blind-sided me and said that we were going to start recording these live.
What was that word?
Blind-sided?
Just go over it.
Just edit.
Move on.
Can't edit.
Can't edit anymore.
She's blind-sided.
Yeah.
The edit process of this 100 weeks is now changed forever.
So you have to be a little bit less you.
Okay.
That's real.
So today.
Stop saying that.
Victoria wanted to reflect on the past 100 episodes.
That really is episodes.
So reflect.
Okay, I will.
I personally think that some of my favorite episodes have not involved fitness.
Even though I do like all the things that we've learned through all the fitness ones.
But I like the more self-care research to look into.
Because as much as we say it all the time, we know these things and you've heard them
and you know other people do them.
But when you have to sit and like really sit with it and then talk it out loud and then
listen to yourself and edit through, it really starts to sink in how much you're not doing.
Like the therapy and the listening right now.
You were just staring at yourself.
No, I was looking at you through the camera.
Because I can't look at you this way because then you get this angle.
So I was looking at you this way.
This way.
Weren't you just working on your job?
I was looking at you this way, but I was looking at you.
Okay.
There's nothing to look at right here.
Those are my favorite.
The self-care ones are my favorite.
That's what I've discovered in 100 years.
Because I've actually 100 years.
I mean, we look really good for 100.
Believe it or not, this is just coffee.
I'm walking on air.
I just saw a meme of that and that it said, if you don't sing this once a month, like
in your head, believe it or not, believe it or not, you sing this once a month in your
head.
That's what it said.
Oh, now I'm going to.
Isn't that crazy?
Believe it.
Because somebody in a month is going to say, believe it or not, and you're going to in your
head say, I'm walking on air.
I like the Instagrams that it's like finish this phrase and it's all the popular commercials
from the 90s and the 2000s because now I don't watch.
I don't really watch commercials.
Well, there aren't any.
But I know, you know, one 800 588 2300 and today.
What's up, Kelly?
Like I don't know how to do my taxes, but I can sing that song no matter what.
Well, I am reflecting.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Your turn.
You didn't ask me what my favorite ones were.
I liked learning about all the different people that I didn't know anything about, but I've
known them forever.
Like in our tell your story.
So speaking of tell your story, tell your story, people, tell us, write in, tell us your
fitness journey, ask us your fitness like advice stuff that other people can help you
and answer.
We don't need to answer it.
You don't know everything.
But when you speak it out, then people can answer.
So tell your story.
We're going to do that again.
We have a story that's been waiting, but I want to get another one to add in.
So write in and tell us your story.
But I agree because I think that's like, I mean, I wasn't lying and I'm not lying when
I say like, I look at you every no, I'm not lying.
I lie about a lot of stuff, but not this.
I see you every day and I know nothing about you and I think that's crazy.
But you think you do.
Right.
But yeah.
And like, I mean, even you guys know I rip on Justin, like it's my job.
It is my job, but I rip on him, but I think it's so interesting that he actually does
things.
He's a smart man.
Yeah.
Can we edit that stuff?
Nope.
No.
Keep it in.
All right.
Definitely.
But just like our C-fitters or anybody that we've interviewed, it's just, you never get
to, when do you sit and talk like this with anybody?
I don't sit and talk like this with anybody because nobody has time.
You literally sit and talk with me once a week for a hundred weeks.
But thank you.
But I know everything there is to know about you.
I'm not saying you.
Okay.
I'm saying everybody else.
Like, when do you just have time to go get a cup of coffee with somebody?
Even when we had mom and Vicki on together.
I mean, we don't hang out with our mom and Vicki for an hour and a half at a time just
to like talk about stories.
We never do that.
So I think those are my favorite ones.
I mean, I like learning about therapy and wellness and how to better myself.
Do you?
No, I like listening to it.
2025, I'm going to work on doing it.
What's up, Ash?
But learning about the people.
Asherbunky.
I know.
Take me or leave me.
How's it go?
That is not how it goes.
And anybody that knows rent knows that that's not how it goes.
Believe me.
I got it.
All right, I'm here.
I'm here.
I don't particularly like when I cry on the podcast.
That's never fun.
What about when you can't pronounce words?
Particularly.
What did I say?
Particularly.
Oh, I'm from Delco, Abbey, I say, particularly.
Oh, Abbey.
Raise your hand if you hate when people abbreviate words.
I mean, I don't like Abbey.
I'm making fun of the people who say Abbey.
Well, Abbey.
Oh, Ashley, that makes me think of you.
We got to get you on here.
Ashley worked for SoulCycle for like 10 years and she used to travel all over the world.
Like the country with SoulCycle.
And I'd love to have her on and talk about that.
Oh, she did this.
So you know that it's real.
And I think that's fascinating because SoulCycle was rising when we were there.
When she was working for them.
But when we were in New York, I was like, what are all these things that are popping up all
over the city that people are freaking out about?
I never tried it.
I never tried it either.
I was going to make up some story like I did, but I did.
I never tried it.
No, wait, no, wait, I went to New York Sports Club when I was in New York.
That's where I used to go.
And we took one spin class and I brought my mom and she fell off the bike.
I remember that.
And we had to leave because she completely fell off the bike.
A stationary bike.
And I was like, we out.
On par.
So never went back.
But yeah, I'd love to get her in here.
She was like working for SoulCycle.
Really got to work on my words when it was very, very popular.
So Ash, she's she's laughing and crying at you.
You're booked.
Booked it.
What else do you want to reflect about this year for 100 weeks?
I think this is the most consistent and dedicated I've ever been to something that has been
a hobby, something for fun, something that hasn't been career related or theater related,
anything I was doing.
And I've wanted to do it and editing is not easy and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've barely scratched the surface.
Get off pepper sitting on the mixer of how to do this.
And I'm sure there's better ways to do it and I'm going to learn soon because I have
to.
But a hundred weeks straight of every holiday, every vacation, you name it, it's gotten
done.
And I that's that seems big for me.
That feels big for me.
It's very big when you're not making, we're not complaining, but we don't make money
on this.
So to do something every single week when a lot of the times you just don't feel like
it or you're having to research something and it's not for profit.
I mean, that's hard.
That's very hard.
So that's our life.
We're not for profit.
I know.
Stephen is not for profit.
Oh my God.
Have you guys ever heard of a gym that's a not for profit gym?
We're not for profit gym.
What's up, Gray Fox?
He shouted out to pepper, by the way.
Pedro, we are the number the world's only not for profit gym.
And not really.
We love it so much, but it's a passion project.
We love diving into things blind with two feet.
Like don't really think about it.
You don't need all the screws for the IKEA shelf.
We're going to figure it out.
If it fits, I sit.
That's how we do.
And it has, it's gotten us through.
Well, it's gotten us to almost 40.
So we're going to keep sliding up that hill until we cross over.
No, go down the hill.
We're not crossing over the edge.
Crossing over.
There's no light to be seen at the other end.
Gail, what's up, Gail?
Gail was in one of our tell your story episodes.
She's an OG C fitter too.
Yeah.
And we are thankful for your dedication, Gail, because we know you listen and we appreciate
that a lot.
I would have to say I'm pretty impressed with, we get, you know how, no one asked.
I'm just kidding.
Do you know how I was going to just let it go?
You know how on Spotify's wrapped, some people think it's annoying, but you get to like see
what your favorite things are that you listen to or what you've been listening to this year.
Mine was Taylor Swift.
We do a lot of kid parties.
We do a lot of Taylor Swift parties.
It's my Spotify account.
So that's why it's not like, you know, in sync, but it's Taylor Swift.
And that I didn't take to heart, but a lot of people were sending in that their number
one or their top three podcasts were fit to be real.
And that is something that might not be a huge deal to you when it pops up on your Spotify,
but it is a huge deal.
And that made us feel like, oh my God, that is so nice that you guys consistently listen.
Because if you didn't, we wouldn't do this anymore.
I could have said maybe back off in like the 90s so that Victoria wouldn't make us go live
in the hundreds, but whatever.
101 to be exact.
Two full years in, I think it's time to get on the screen and really see how real this
is.
I know.
I mean, it's true.
And I guess you're going to see that some days it is harder for us than others.
Just like I said before, I don't love crying on the podcast.
You've done it once.
I know, but one time.
Get over it.
Get over yourself.
But that was a really big thing for me because I don't cry in front of people.
She's never cried since.
No, that was last year.
She's never shed a tear again.
No, no, I cry alone in my room.
You're not alone in your room.
She sleeps all over her family.
We could live in a one, I don't know why we left New York.
We could have lived in our one bedroom apartment just fine.
In fact, Carly, Andrew and I lived in our one bedroom apartment.
We had a bunk bed that was a double on the bottom.
It was a double on the bottom, single on the top.
Yeah, I was on the top.
And it was super, it was super fun.
But Carly and Andrew also had an apartment or his apartment in Astoria.
So sometimes they weren't there.
Sometimes they were there.
And there were nights when Andrew was there and he was like a new boyfriend in the family.
Like he had been there for how many years or maybe one year?
Before I moved in with him?
Two years before I moved in with, before we moved in together.
But you lived in New York.
So like he would come home for occasions and holidays.
Whatever Carly told him he had to come to Springfield for.
So when he was there, he'd go in the middle of the night.
Help me!
Like a dead sleep and I would wake up to that and throw a pillow down at him.
I just started liking Andrew.
And we haven't lived together in how long?
But every so often, if you're like, if it's dead silent at a party, you can hear one of
them go, help me!
And they just know it brings them back.
It brings them back.
Kate, I did make fun of you for crying.
I don't remember what episode I cried.
I actually do, but I'm not going to tell you because I don't want you to re-listen.
I don't remember.
Justin was on it because remember I was like, Justin, it's you.
I feel like it's you making you cry.
Yeah.
Anyway, I don't really make fun of you crying.
I'm family.
It's just Kate I make fun of for crying.
And everybody else, cry your little hearts out.
Zippity-dee-dee.
But also don't zipity-dee-dee and keep giving it to her because someone's got to.
You know?
Appreciate it.
It's up Stacey.
We were going to talk about Christmas around the world today and then Victoria, this is
very different.
Victoria was like nixing that we're going to reflect on the year.
Yeah.
So having said that, because that was a true story, we are going to do in January, Victoria
doesn't like resolutions.
We call them intentions or, you know, no, no hugs here, Zine.
But our resolutions or intentions from last year have you succeeded?
We did a six month check.
Now we're almost at the, we are at the one year.
We are at the one year.
I have not read any books on my shelf.
So no.
My bookshelf is still unread.
So I have to get on that for 2025.
We also talked about how it's OK if you failed quote unquote at your goals.
Yeah, sure.
If you say it out loud while you're failing, it's, God bless you pepper.
If you say it out loud while you're failing, it just negates the whole, I'm failing.
I'm failing.
So that was our moon episode and it was waning.
I'm waning.
Yeah.
We won't replay that.
It's OK.
I can just do it live now.
So no, I haven't done that.
I did get back on my fitness track and I was feeling really, really good.
And now I'm back when not feeling really good.
What?
Why?
But I'm fine.
I'm happy about it because it's a happy, not feel good versus like a sad one.
Okay.
Do you know what I mean?
You know when you gain weight, but like, because you're depressed and you're sad and it's hard
to get into the swing of things because you've been down and out for so long.
That's what it was a long time ago.
A long time ago.
And then I got really healthy and I was feeling really good.
And then I'm now back on the up of my journey, but I'm happy about it.
Yeah.
Well, for the girl that goes to bed at nine o'clock at night and she gets up at like 430,
she was out till like 4am the other night.
So you know, at a club, which is unlike her, but she was happy about it.
So we're happy for her.
That I was past my bedtime.
Yes, but you were at your wake up time when you came home.
No, it was like three.
It was like 3am.
Yes, my fault.
It's true.
Pedro, Pedro is my boyfriend and he is a DJ and it's 10 to 2am late nights.
And so the breakdown by then we got, we got home at 3am, but that's what's up.
What's up Pedro?
That's why I'm happy.
But that's why she's happy because-
It's not the whole reason I'm happy.
No, no, no, no, I'm saying-
But.
She's not, we're saying, yeah, it is your fault.
Sorry, Fox.
But it's a happy unhealthy.
Those aren't healthy hours.
You should not be up at that time.
But that's what I'm saying.
She's got a smile on her face.
She's not upset about it that she missed her sleep.
But-
Oh no.
She's doing more things that are getting her out instead of staying at home, which
I think is a huge difference than last year when you, we couldn't get you out.
I can't wait to talk about how horrible you are.
But yes, yeah, we can wait to get you out first of all is what you just said.
Second of all, getting living life more was on my resolution-
That's what I meant.
Intention.
We know what you meant.
I'm not good with words and math or anatomy.
Or history.
What do you want from me?
I'm good at so many other things.
Dance, monkey.
Yeah, that's-
Well, okay, I'm good at one thing.
Your money.
No, I'm not for profit-
I'm a not-for-profit dancer.
I know, that party-
Pedro, it's true.
She's making it seem a lot worse.
He said, dang, it was once a month, that club night.
Once a month.
I'll come dance for free because I'm a not-for-profit dancer, so-
You can do it at 2 a.m.
Oh, oh no, no, no.
My friend, no.
Any way.
It's a great time.
So yeah, I think I cannot remember every single intention that I had for 2024, but I did get
out a lot more and feel like I'm living and not just working.
That was one of my biggest intentions.
That was your big intention last year.
You wanted me to travel more and I did.
I think that's coming up for me too.
So it's all good things.
I think overall, 75% done my goals.
Oh good, you just need that little extra pie.
How many percentages, Carly?
Oh, I don't know.
Just whatever the piece of lemon meringue you need left of the pie.
Just get that.
Lemon meringue is what you chose?
It's my favorite pie.
Oh, you're an old man.
Yes.
Okay.
It's my favorite pie.
All right, what about your intentions that we know you did not write down?
No.
I didn't do it.
I did not write it down.
We are not going to Disney World.
So Seafitters, it's okay.
I won't be going away anytime soon.
You wanted to do that in one year?
I think one year is a good amount of time to save for Disney.
You have to get paid for this.
I know.
That's why I didn't do it.
So that didn't happen.
However, I'm not upset about it because I understand now instead of just being like,
I can't believe I didn't do it.
I'm so mad.
I can't believe that this happened.
I know why and I'm seeing patterns in why it's not happening.
Because you've spent a lot for Christmas.
And I'm realizing how to fix it.
So maybe this year I'll fix it.
But now I think the realization and the understanding of how to get there instead of just snapping
my fingers and being like, well, why didn't I do it this year?
I know why.
I'm aware of it.
Acceptance is the first step.
Yeah.
And one of the other things I did, I stopped working out as much and that is, that was
a huge one for me.
That was a health priority.
Yeah.
I gained some weight and I did.
Okay.
I did.
Prove it.
But I feel good and I feel rested these days.
I know it's like not.
I know I do.
Really?
Yes.
Because I am not working out four times a day.
Oh yeah.
And I'm not running in between my workouts.
Like I got, I became an addict.
We all know we talked about it before and I am coming away from that.
And this year I, my number one goal this year was to say that I did not want to say, oh,
I can't wait till 2025.
I just want to start this year over.
You did do that.
I don't feel that way.
I thought 2024 was the fastest year we've had since 2019.
Yeah.
I think I agree with you actually.
Don't you think 2024 was so fast?
Yeah.
Yes, I do.
And I feel like I had a good year.
I said yes to a lot of things.
I did just like Victoria.
Like I went out more and I said, yes, I'll do this more or yes, I want to go to this
show or, you know.
Maybe that's why I can't go to Disney World because I spent all my money on like theater
tickets and concerts because I said yes.
So that's what I'm saying.
I realized why I didn't save the money, but I wanted to take my kids to New York twice
to see Michael Jackson.
So that's what I chose.
And now you're doing it in Philadelphia.
Your Disney is Michael Jackson.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like I realized that I chose these things to do instead of save for Disney.
But I'm very happy that I did it because I was still making the memories that I wanted
to make and I enjoyed them.
But well, twofold because you wanted to stop your obsession with working out to spend more
time.
Yeah.
With the kids.
Yeah.
These kids, these kids aren't going to be these ages for too long.
Stop it.
If you're just tuning in, she's meowing and it was a big thing we talked about.
I refuse to talk about it again.
So yeah.
I feel like I did well, I failed at one.
I'm failing.
I'm glad they get the visual of that now because that's a part of it.
I succeeded at the ones I think were more important, I guess.
I don't think I believe you when you say I guess.
I guess.
So yeah, we could do a more in depth conversation about that, but we won't because.
Why?
Because I want to talk about it.
Basically, this is something I would edit now that I can't.
I want to talk about again that we are going to be on screen and anybody that comes can
still call in.
You don't have to be on screen because I know what we have a few people lined up in January.
Not sure that you know about that, but I do.
That might not want to be on screen.
So who's coming?
We can't give all the secrets away.
We don't know anybody.
So one announcement is that we are going to start videoing and we can all thank Pedro
for that because he is going to set us up.
Does he do that?
I don't think so.
It's all right.
He likes Manchester United and that's, we like Liverpool.
Nope.
He likes Chelsea.
He likes Chelsea and we like Liverpool.
So there's the great divide.
It's the great divide over here.
So thank you.
Thank you for the video help.
That was what we want to talk about for our 100th episode today is that how after 100
things are going to change and we are getting Carly closer and closer to accepting change.
He did do the peace fingers kissy face.
I'm upset.
I'm upset with that.
Can we go back after 100 episodes?
Carly's going to change what?
Nope.
A little bit piece by piece get Carly to accept change more because we are about to
change what we have now known for 100 weeks.
My face?
Is this a test?
No.
Wow.
I'm not asking you any questions.
I don't know what you're hearing.
That Carly has to change something.
That's all I heard.
But I didn't say that.
We are changing the way that we are doing this podcast and we are going to get Carly
one step closer to accepting change in general because she doesn't like to change.
That I understand.
God, podcast for dummies.
Well I need to listen more.
I'm not setting my intentions right now.
I'm not ready for that.
I haven't thought about it.
Disney's probably on there somewhere this year for next year.
Like 2024.
You want to do it in a month?
No, I want to do it in 2025 to probably get there in 2026 but I got to stop going to
Broadway and concerts and I don't know if I can do that.
Disney's not that big a deal.
It is.
You say that but to some people it is.
To me Disney's a big deal.
So is Michael Jackson.
So there's that.
Dean did ask Santa Claus for Michael Jackson costume.
You'll see what Santa brings.
I mean I support that.
I do support that.
Disney I don't think I support that.
Why not take them somewhere less expensive but just as much fun?
Because I love Disney.
It's the happiest place on earth.
So let me be happy.
I will take the mouse that's in my kitchen and run a muck in your house.
Is there anything else you'd like to add today?
She is crushing my dreams.
No, no.
You can have your dream.
You can have your intention for next year.
I'm not saying it yet because I'm not ready.
So don't push me.
I'm not going to write it down this year either but I will think about it.
Well now you're just all going to have a more in depth look on what that looks like.
I'm a hustler baby.
Just want you to know.
Also there is no podcast studio.
This is it.
Oh you didn't know?
We're on a victorious couch every week.
Every week I sit next to this.
A bunch of plants that are half dead.
Probably because they're sitting next to me and you know I hate plants.
I have to prune the purple one.
They're not dead.
So yeah we're on Victoria's studio couch.
That's what we call it today.
Yeah there is no soundproofing.
Pretty sure my neighbors upstairs get a live show every time Carly's here because she belts.
They heard me cry though one time.
They were probably like oh.
She cried.
They were like maybe she'll leave.
Bee Claws.
Bee Claws has been on the podcast.
She just was on the podcast.
A couple weeks ago.
She's one of the ones I knew nothing about.
I've known her since she was three and I was so excited and so interested to learn everything
that she does which I never would have gotten to learn.
So that's why I thank Fit to Be Real for stuff like that.
You're welcome.
I was going to thank you and I was like I'm not going that far.
I am Fit to Be Real.
She is.
No but it's true.
We don't know the story.
I made Carly do this two years ago.
She was upstate with her in-laws and I said hey just want to let you know I bought all
this equipment and when you come home we are going to do this.
I've also already made the Spotify art on campus.
She did.
She was like this is what it looks like.
Not that much different than this year when I was upstate and she texted and said hey
we're going to do a November challenge.
Get a weighted vest sent to where you are and start right now.
It's always when I'm away you have these bright ideas and then say we're going to do this.
I can think clearly when I'm out of state and you're not here.
When I'm out of state is when she's like we're going to do this and this and this and I'm
going to text you about it so that you don't have a say.
When I know you don't have service to respond.
Or when I'm drinking.
That I won't say no after some wine and she knows where I am so she's like.
I get to be myself and I make these decisions and so far they've all been very positive
good ones so you are welcome.
I apologize to all of you for bringing her to your home and your ears.
Well now I apologize because I'm going to be in your home.
You can watch me and it's sometimes uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable for her.
I'm fine with it but it's uncomfortable for her sometimes and to the people who come into
her studio house.
Listen I can write this living room off when it's something for work.
That's true.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Work.
So yeah that's all we wanted to say.
I wanted to do it in a fun new way and try Instagram Live just for sure.
And we have succeeded.
We have succeeded.
Good job.
I'm proud of you.
I wouldn't have known how to do a Facebook Live.
I did the Google.
That's right.
And really you just have to press a button.
And you never know.
Maybe I'll wear a nice shirt one day but mostly it's gonna be a sweatshirt.
I don't think it matters.
Nope.
I'm always going to be coming from clients and working so I will never have makeup on
or look put together and that is the point.
That is the point of this podcast.
The whole reason we wanted to do it and the whole reason we wanted to start See Fit really
other than the fact that we love it and we're good at it is that we didn't want to be robots.
We didn't.
Everything that's being put out is influencers quote unquote and fake and that is the far
from who we are and far from who we were when we were doing theater in New York which
is why we did not continue to do that because we were horrible at the schmoozing and the
networking and the you know whatever it's called brown nosing to get the role and to
get in with the in.
We're not good at that.
We're not good at it.
We're there's no other way to say it.
Thank you.
I'm so glad that you said it twice.
So that's why that was piece of why I wanted to do this podcast is that we had heard a
few times from people that we should do something like this and we always were like you're crazy.
Like we have nothing to say.
Yeah.
Nobody needs to listen to us and I still stand by that.
But there's not a lot of real things out there these days with social media.
If you've listened to us for a hundred episodes you know that we're not big fans of what it's
doing to the next generation let alone everybody.
So I love this next step for us that it's just going to add to the the true realism
of what we're doing that we're going to be some days it has to be fast.
We have a little bit of time.
We can't talk too much.
We got to shut her down and we have to get in and out of the studio.
Yes you in and out of the studio quickly.
Shut it down.
New girl.
Anyone down.
What's up Laura we hope you're recovering well we miss you.
Sorry.
Shut it down.
It was that was perfect.
I'm a good segueist.
I talked about it last week.
I'm a great segueist.
She's trying to close up shop and I will keep opening that door until she shuts it down.
Yeah.
So come laugh with us and join us on the couch every week from here on out until the next
best thing comes along.
Live tours.
We're going to guys I forgot to tell her what our next one is we're doing live tours.
Seven days a week at Seafit we do it every day.
You can come see our live tour.
Maybe we'll go to church basement.
I'm going to blindside her one day and you don't know what I'm going to say every Tuesday.
That's every week.
And it's usually.
Okay so we won't keep you any longer because now this episode is 50 minutes.
Oh my God are you kidding me.
That is the general feeling every single week when I when we sit down and we go 30 minutes
tops 30 minutes that's it every week.
She's like an hour in 10 minutes.
We're like what because we babble we're babblers we come from a line of babblers.
Carmella's mother of the bride's speech was 14 minutes long 14 minutes long.
Yeah 14 whole minutes of Carmella truly not having a train of thought.
No exactly what we do every week.
We have a train of thought we get sidetracked we try to come back but we've already forgotten
what we started with and you know we do have a very special skill of making it sound like
we know what we're doing.
I think that's where our degree comes in.
So thank you mom again for that those hundreds of thousands of dollars we do it we use it
every Tuesday.
Yeah she's not here.
She's definitely not here.
Yeah mom's not here.
Yeah but we'll thank Sarah what's up.
Thank you Sarah.
Sarah's like close up shop girls close up shop.
Get the hook.
All right so we have the hook.
Well thanks thanks for tuning in for those of you that did and all of this is going to
be kept for the podcast and you can listen in.
Hopefully it sounds okay.
Didn't do that test.
Oh the beginning was great.
Yeah but it's okay.
And we will see you.
You will see us in episode 101.
Wait she does that every week.
She does that every week but no one's watching and now we can see it live.
Yeah.
Hey guys it's Carly.
We gotta finish it.
Finish it how we finish it.
Right I struggle with this every week because I can never remember.
So just remember that you are always fit to be real and always allowed to be a little
extra.
That also happens every week.
I did I say it the same way.
Bye guys.
Bye.
Hold on I don't know how to get out of this.
I'm gonna do this for a while.
This is like my dream right here.
Seriously goodbye we gotta go.
And now we did it.
Oh my god.
