of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her lose 20

0:42

pounds and keep it off. I

0:45

was definitely in a yo-yo cycle

0:47

for years of just losing

0:49

weight, gaining weight, and it was exhausting.

0:52

And Stephanie. She's a former D1 athlete

0:54

who knew she couldn't out-train her diet,

0:56

and she lost 38 pounds. My

0:59

relationship to food before Noom was

1:02

never consistent. And Evan. He can't

1:04

stand salads, but he still lost 50

1:06

pounds with Noom. I never really was

1:08

a salad guy. That's just not who I am. Even

1:11

through the pickiness, Noom taught me that building better

1:13

habits builds a healthier lifestyle. I'm not doing this

Ventora. Punishment is about... In the

end, the gods decide your fate, or

5:57

is it a man who deals in sexual

5:59

coercion? And I will be

6:01

seen, here's the logline, A

6:03

have anything to say about it, then

6:40

be sure to get in touch

6:42

via a review, a Spotify comment,

6:44

a YouTube comment, emailers, cares

6:46

at hawkencliva.com, whatever way you

6:48

want to really. And we

6:51

see it all, we see

6:53

all the messages, and I

6:55

figured today might be a

6:57

good time to read some

6:59

of them out. We had

7:01

a review from Coffee McCann.

7:04

Coffee McCann. I just found out

7:06

this show a while back

7:08

and have been binging since.

7:10

Thanks for such creative short

7:12

stories. You welcome Coffee McCann.

7:14

Coffee, obviously, is also my

7:17

favorite drink. And I binge

7:19

it all the time. I

7:21

don't have used them in

7:23

this one, but it's a

7:25

comment on 98.4 webbing. Excellent

7:27

story. Great narration. Thank you

7:29

very much. What else

7:31

do we have here?

7:34

A comment on Mr.

7:36

London? From James Hutchison,

7:39

this is on YouTube.

7:41

This is good. Thank you,

7:43

James. You are good also.

have here? Aha. Walter,

review on iTunes on

7:56

the Swift Bet and

7:59

Laxen. and podcast feed. As a

8:01

Canadian First Nations Indian, this is the first

8:03

podcast I found that really has an Indian

8:06

hero. I do not find any of the

8:08

language describing us as offensive. It is

8:10

what it is in the period story.

8:12

It is well written and loved the

8:14

old gravely voice of Laksin. I wish

8:16

this podcast will continue. It must continue.

8:18

It's engaging in not just being read.

8:20

It's actually being acted by a real

8:22

talent. Please, please continue. There's not any

8:25

other podcast that put us in the

8:27

light that this podcast does. Thank

8:29

you Walter. Yeah, we

8:31

will. We'll get cracking

8:33

on season two of

8:35

Swift-Barenlekson very soon. I

8:37

love that series. I describe

8:40

it as the Lone Ranger meets...

8:42

Hellboy. A little brain

8:44

fog there. Okay, a little

8:46

review. This is on

8:49

another predictable long-con. Great

8:52

one. Felt like a whole movie

8:54

in a short time. That's from

8:56

Radi Incrush. So you took a

8:59

YouTube comment on that one. Over

9:01

on Patreon, S. Romero, responded to

9:03

Old Fool, which was a patron

9:06

exclusive episode. Damn if this just

9:08

didn't break my heart. Probably used

9:11

for that. I hope you managed

9:13

to get your heart fixed soon. You

9:15

should see a doctor about that. And

9:17

we have some Spotify comments. I

9:19

think most of these are from

9:21

the same person. Let's see. Second

9:23

Mai is using him. On 1.1

9:26

Alien they said, what a simple

9:28

but effective twist, thank you for

9:30

the feedback. On 1.2 The businessman

9:32

at the end of my bed,

9:34

they said, he met the hat

9:36

man. Then all that is, is

9:38

that a creepy pastor thing? I

9:40

don't know. Find its keepers, 2.2.

9:42

They said, well this one could

9:44

be a whole movie, he's all

9:47

could. And then chatty cats on

9:49

Spotify replied to Monti's

9:51

meat, said creative, and

9:53

ooooooooooooooo! great episode and

9:56

that on Dana Numerik

9:58

they said Oh, should

10:00

I read this out? I don't know. I

10:02

lost the love of my life at age

10:05

27. I'm not sure I wouldn't have used

10:07

this technology to keep him

10:09

alive. Of that and the way Yvonne

10:12

ended her life both resonated

10:14

with me. Great story. Which I

10:16

also posted on. Photoshop Wizard. Love this

10:18

if only that time it was real.

10:20

Lull. I have a few tweaks I'd

10:22

like to perform. Yes. Me too. And

10:24

then Matthew Holler on X or Twitter.

10:27

Said. I started to listen to the

10:29

podcast a few weeks ago, starting at

10:31

the newest and working backwards. I listened

10:33

to episode 90.2. She burns the other

10:35

day and that one hit me. I

10:37

woke up early the next morning and

10:39

couldn't get out of my head. Great

10:42

story. Thank you. Thank you Matthew. That's

10:44

very much appreciated. That's all I

10:46

have for today. Yeah, if you have any

10:48

more, be sure to get in touch.

less, when you make it if you

11:01

put on the internet, sometimes you can

11:03

just feel like you're screaming into the

11:05

breeze. But yeah, if we see your

11:07

comments and feedback, it's, it makes it

11:09

feel more like a, I don't want

11:11

to say a conversation because it's not

11:13

out there in the distance, hearing what

we're screaming. Until next time.
