Welcome back to another episode of I Feel Fat Today! This week, we sit down with comedian and show producer Phil Calle! Phil takes us through his journey growing up in Queens in the 90s and how navigating the city as a young plumber gave him the ultimate street smarts. We dive deep into early 2000s nostalgia, from the toxic tabloid diet culture and the days of AOL Instant Messenger, to emotional release in the mosh pits of the punk and emo scene.Phil opens up about his relationship with his body and his unique weight-loss journeys from a hypochondria spiral that led to a life-saving H. pylori diagnosis, to surviving a devastating car crash and overcoming a potential oxycodone addiction with the help of his incredible wife. We also chat about the hilarious reality of gaining "sympathy weight" during his wife's three pregnancies, navigating pre-diabetes as a Hispanic man who loves rice, and how experiencing almost every religion as a kid gave him the ultimate gift of gab to succeed in stand-up.
