Hello Ross-a-pees. And welcome

2:56

to the program. Ross Matthews is here,

2:58

butched the F out. You're

3:04

wearing a golden top. I'm

3:07

wearing a tracksuit and it's very printed. Look,

3:11

it's like a velour and a

3:13

match. Oh my

3:15

gosh, you have a matching tracksuit on. So

3:17

I wouldn't say you're butched the F out.

3:20

How dare you? I'm so excited

3:22

for the game. I'm already planning a

3:24

Super Bowl menu. I'm actually going to

3:27

a Super Bowl party this year. In

3:31

New York? Yeah, Drew's throwing a Super Bowl party,

3:33

so I'm going to her house. Oh, Drew who?

3:37

And I haven't talked

3:39

to her about what's on the menu. I know there's going

3:41

to be food on the menu, but I'm like, should we

3:43

have a con? Because I want to be eating the

3:45

whole time. And I'm telling you, I have

3:47

a plan every Super Bowl. I

3:50

know what to make so I can snack the

3:52

whole game. Okay, but that's what you're making. So

3:55

what do you do when you go over to somebody else's house? You

3:57

bring your own food? I brought, you know, I talked

3:59

to Drew like I did. Acute Opera are probably call her.

4:01

can be like rolling We need. To have the I'll

4:03

bring it on, bring in a number three on display

4:36

I have zero interest. In

4:38

Sports Ball Who? it keeps saying sports

4:40

Ball? You know it's football. Who

4:43

is playing in the Superbowl this year. For.

4:46

Us as is. so embarrassing I have

4:48

no clue say I think it's not

4:50

the Seahawks because I feel like I

4:52

would have heard about it. Yeah, probably.

4:57

I couldn't even name you

4:59

five football teams. Taylor

5:02

Swift. boyfriend is on one of the team.

5:06

Forty Niners. that is one of the

5:09

teams but not them are Now that's

5:11

okay. Good, that's good for the Forty

5:13

Niners vs. D. C.

5:15

Truly now some bugs.

5:18

Detroit last the for your ticket indivisible.

5:20

They would lead levels The look I'm

5:23

I'm like speaking intelligently about more than

5:25

half a stretch. So here's the deal.

5:27

Will get to that. but I have

5:30

to tell you for. Whom

5:32

I had something so good to eat

5:34

this week. I.

5:36

Went to our friends well in I my husband I

5:39

went to our friends join dad's house because we like

5:41

we have to see you they would say the blocks

5:43

from ethnicity. I've been friends with them for twenty years

5:45

oh my gosh shield Bloxham that promises to see but

5:47

we never see each other even though it like when

5:50

I tell you I like. Within. Six

5:52

Box. In. Just busy so

5:54

we the not really close for New

5:56

York. Very clear. I mean that like

5:58

a lesson. seven, eight minute walk.

6:02

So I said, we got to get together. You know, what restaurant

6:04

do you want to go to? And they said, actually come over

6:06

to our house. We're going to cook. Now that makes me

6:08

nervous. I have to say, yes, because I

6:11

have no, yeah. Well, you

6:14

love being in control, but also like

6:16

you're on a lifelong health

6:18

journey and if there's nothing for you to

6:20

eat, you don't want to be rude. That's true.

6:22

Now there has been a time when I was

6:24

so strict in my life that one time I

6:26

was on one of those food plans, like I

6:28

rhymed with, um, any

6:31

blake. I

6:33

understood. And it was like,

6:35

you only eat like the frozen microwave food. And so I

6:37

was like, I'm going to invite him. This is probably 15

6:39

years ago. And they're like, oh, we're having a dinner party.

6:42

And I showed up and I was just at the beginning

6:44

of the journey. I was so paranoid. I didn't want to

6:46

deviate from the thing that I can't believe I did this,

6:48

but I did. You bring a microwave dinner. I

6:50

did a dinner party. Yeah. And

6:53

now I wouldn't, but that's when, but see, that's part

6:55

of the fear of diets. I have to say, I

6:57

would never do that now because I understand that one

6:59

meal is not going to make me or

7:01

break me either way. Right. That's

7:03

not sustainable. We can't live like

7:06

that. Thinking, oh, if I mess up one time.

7:09

Okay. No. And that's what Ross

7:11

a piece is all about living in the

7:13

real world. The real world. Yes. Yeah. So

7:15

I knew that if I went to my

7:18

friend's place and they made something that wasn't

7:20

good for me, that's fine. I'll

7:22

know. I know how to do that. I'll have more of

7:25

the salad than of the main. I can do it. Okay.

7:27

But they made something that I could

7:30

totally. Okay. Okay. Guess what

7:32

it was. Guess what they made me. Chicken.

7:37

How did you know they made me chicken?

7:40

It's what you go to. It's like a default.

7:43

I do love chicken, but I do think, you know, chicken's a little

7:45

bland. So you do have to dress her up and take her out

7:47

on the town. You know what I mean? I like

7:49

it. I don't like chicken. It's cut too thick

7:51

or because then it's like just what I

7:54

don't. Right. I don't, I like chicken to

7:56

have like a sauce on it or a bowl. Verity

8:00

of have you heard of Engagement

8:02

Chicken? I. Have

8:04

never heard of Engagement of Six

8:06

12:45

all the way down and My fupa was

12:47

13:10

you say It's 90 mental

13:13

this sort of health journey. Yes,

13:15

it is and I was not

13:18

there But now i've been going

13:20

to the gym Like every couple

13:22

of days i'm making good decisions

13:24

with what i'm eating I'm

13:27

getting comments from people And

13:30

I did try on my

13:32

goal genes and they still

13:34

do not It's

13:36

a long, you know, this takes a long time, but

13:39

I realized since the

13:41

summer Which was post

13:43

food journey where I just ate whatever I

13:45

wanted because I was having a hard time

13:49

Post food journey i've

13:52

lost like 14 pounds Since

13:55

summer. Wow betty,

13:57

I know I mean I would Heavier

14:00

than I. Than I had been

14:02

in the last year. Fifteen. Years. So

14:05

it I think it was ready to come. Off.

14:09

In mind that you you know you wanted

14:11

to be done overnight, but like if you

14:13

just are sort of like consistently making businesses

14:15

that you look behind you and like oh

14:18

my god suddenly I made a lot of

14:20

progress the it's it's yes, a nominal how

14:22

they really do add up just like the

14:25

bad to quote. Bad choices atta

14:27

14:29

it to be fair and still

14:31

making lots of bed sheets in

14:33

sad to buy month food. I

14:35

love food and I use it

14:37

to sell soup and I just

14:39

I know that about myself and

14:41

keeping it out of my house

14:43

is my trick to not doing

14:46

that. But I actually told you

14:48

what I did that I almost

14:50

vomited. Yeah. I can't believe he

14:52

did this. Will you? tell? The audience what you did.

14:54

Well, I did. You know we don't judge each

14:56

other. I would never judge you bet you know.

14:58

That being said, I judged you for this weekend.

15:00

we were. Yeah, it'll ever over so

15:02

gross because you're the sweet tooth that

15:04

you cannot stop once. You start. Yes,

15:07

I the which is why it's somebody offers

15:10

me something sweet I say to think you

15:12

in the same really want it because once

15:14

I start I can't and you had purchase.

15:16

Something that for your kids that you are like I'm

15:18

in a given This is a treat. And

15:21

15:25

And then one night you're. Just like all

15:27

the sudden you couldn't control yourself. So you

15:29

in and I'm making I dame I saw.

15:31

The bag. It's probably like I'm

15:33

the size of. A

15:36

grab bag of chips. Yeah

15:39

15:41

of own a grab bag of chips You understand? It.

15:45

but what? Was it? Filled with Betty. Vomit

15:49

of by Say it okay I.

15:51

Know I'll say it. I.

15:53

was at the pharmacy and on the

15:55

island which is like be place to

15:58

shop and they had it bad for

16:01

in their Valentine's section that

16:03

was just the marshmallows

16:06

from Lucky Charms and it was

16:08

a dollar so I got a bag for each of my kids.

16:11

And they were about the size of

16:13

a grab bag of chips which is

16:15

a lot of those marshmallows. Yeah you

16:17

said that already. And how many of

16:20

a grab bag size bag

16:22

of Lucky Charms marshmallows the

16:24

super sweet saccharin. Mm-hmm

16:29

powdery. How many of that grab

16:31

bag size bag of marshmallows did you

16:34

eat? You know I ate

16:36

the whole thing. You know you eat

16:38

the whole thing. And then I laid

16:40

in bed because I also suffered

16:42

suffer with insomnia and

16:44

it was like two in the morning and I couldn't

16:47

sleep and I was like okay well now I'm hungry

16:49

and now I can't sleep because I'm hungry. And I

16:52

was like oh I know what I

16:54

have. Did your teeth hurt?

16:56

Because it hurts my teeth to think about it. Everything

16:59

hurt. My tongue hurt but mostly I

17:01

thought I was going to vomit. It

17:03

was so this it was fun going

17:05

down. Like the first half of the

17:07

bag was fun. The second half

17:09

of the bag felt not great. Like

17:12

even as I was eating it I was like

17:14

oh gross but I couldn't stop. And

17:17

then by the time I'd finished the entire bag yeah

17:20

I was

17:23

like seconds away. Like

17:26

my mouth was doing the whole watering

17:28

thing like in the back of your mouth.

17:30

Yeah we're not going to talk about that and just gross

17:32

because that'll make me start feeling that so okay but just don't

17:35

do that anymore. I mean that that honestly I know.

17:37

But you can't just say don't do that. I

17:39

know but you can a little bit because

17:41

I have done my thing is these like

17:43

chips right and I have done a version

17:45

of that with Cheetos. Okay.

17:49

And I have laid there and been like ow

17:51

ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. Right and

17:55

it's like with anything

17:57

else you need to understand the consequence of

17:59

an action. So I

18:02

experienced the consequence. Like

18:04

gross, like, just like I

18:07

can't eat a bag of Cheetos anymore because

18:09

I know, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

18:11

Right. In addition to a lot of other things.

18:14

You can't do it out anymore. Like your night, I

18:17

like to reward. I mean, that wasn't a reward.

18:19

I was just hungry and they were in my

18:21

room, but I feel of them as a reward. You

18:23

know what I mean? But

18:25

if I have a fist, a fist full

18:27

one, a fist, that's

18:29

another conversation for a different podcast.

18:32

A fistful won't do it for me. I

18:35

need the real subject.

18:37

Hey, um, well,

18:40

good for you. Uh, more updates

18:42

on the chin's up challenge as, as we

18:44

continue our journey on this show. Well, wait,

18:46

you need to update us. Uh,

18:48

I'm good. I'm, I think I'm, you know, I

18:50

started before Christmas, I'm down like, I think like

18:53

10 pounds, like back to where I was.

18:55

Since Christmas? Since before Christmas.

18:57

So two months. Yeah. Okay. Like the

18:59

beginning of December. Um, and that's good.

19:01

Yeah. And that's kind of what I

19:04

gained over tour and everything.

19:06

You know what I mean? Like right around there, uh, it

19:08

took like a year and a half to gain it, but I got, I got it

19:10

down and you know what I know, found out

19:12

about 10 pounds. It

19:14

made me feel like a Macy's

19:17

day float. And

19:20

do you know how many people noticed that I

19:22

had gained 10 or said

19:24

any, probably no one zero. Do you know how

19:26

many people have noticed or said anything? The fact

19:28

that I lost 10, probably

19:30

zero, zero, 0.0. But

19:34

for me, each one of those 10

19:36

pounds along the skin was a thousand

19:39

pounds. Might as well have been a thousand pounds, but

19:41

do how I felt it was just, it's,

19:44

it's unbelievable what that can do. And

19:46

meanwhile, nobody else gave

19:48

a crap. Exactly.

19:50

It's so dumb. It's so

19:53

stupid. It's

19:55

so stupid, but it, but that's a lesson that

19:57

I really took into my little heart that

19:59

like. Calm down, calm down,

20:01

calm down. You could have the reins of your

20:03

life. Figure it out Ross. And

20:06

I did. So I'm proud of myself. That's my chintz up

20:08

challenge. But you know, this journey is what I know to

20:10

be true is that you never win. The only way, what do

20:12

I say? I say it every time. The only way you

20:14

win is by being in the fight. Yes.

20:17

22:45

So I get options to choose from. Now

22:48

22:50

Am a one man band? Hear

22:52

the key Iraq. Is I'll give you an

22:55

Rgb Often really affect how. Many to do means

23:01

Three Or one point Two

23:03

Five billion. Which.

23:06

Will one free who five billion is

23:09

a lot of chicken. That the answer

23:11

I it is lot of this is

23:13

the fact is a hundred and sixty

23:15

two point five million pounds of second.

23:19

This weekend alone. Will be responsible for.

23:21

Seven percent of second link

23:24

sales. Of the year. Is

23:27

I mean and and grossly think about

23:29

the wings Lake is such as the

23:31

road for it. As a chicken you.

23:33

Know I always think the best for the

23:35

ticket as a singer the those okay so

23:37

guys have a bigger okay so those are

23:39

some urge to the Super Bowl of facts

23:41

but I went to getting when I. Of.

23:45

Course you. Want that chicken wing flavor

23:47

which is done. Franks Hot Red

23:50

Hot Sauce. right? Yes, Buffalo that

23:52

you look at that look at

23:54

the calories. visit. Know cause like

23:56

five calories as. So.

23:59

It's mostly like. Vinegar

24:01

and sodium, right? Yeah. Okay,

24:03

great. So that flavor isn't

24:05

bad for us. You know what I mean?

24:07

Like in calorically in terms of a weight

24:10

loss journey. So I

24:12

think to myself, well, how can I get that

24:14

flavor, but not have it be in

24:16

deep fried food? Yeah. Okay.

24:19

So here's, here's a few things that I

24:21

do. I will make a buffalo

24:24

hummus. So

24:26

you make your hummus. So you make

24:28

your traditional hummus. And

24:31

then, or you buy your traditional hummus. And

24:33

then just mix some of the red hot

24:36

sauce in with it. Yes. Put

24:38

some blue cheese crumbles on top of, serve it

24:40

with celery and carrot sticks, right? Beautiful. Okay.

24:43

Or peppers. Yeah. Bell

24:46

peppers. Yes. How about

24:48

this? How about, say you still want chicken. Here's what I do. I

24:51

take chicken breasts and I cut them into teeny

24:54

tiny little strips, almost like a finger,

24:56

if you will. And

24:58

I lay it on a cookie sheet

25:00

that's sprayed. It was either sprayed nonstick

25:03

or tin foil or parchment, whatever. I

25:07

bake them. You

25:09

can technically bake a wing though too, right?

25:12

Yeah, it could. The wing is unhealthy. No,

25:14

it's not. So whatever part of the chicken

25:16

to bake it, then it comes out, bake

25:18

it like lean, clean, bake it up, done.

25:20

Then I toss that in the barbecue

25:22

sauce, serve it with some

25:24

like low fan fat ranch and with celery on

25:27

the side. And then I dip, dip, dip. I

25:29

can eat the whole game. I'm eating lean chicken

25:31

breasts with a little bit of five calorie sauce

25:33

and celery. That's

25:35

how I eat the whole entire game. How

25:37

about this? What if in a

25:40

crock pot, you can get some frozen turkey meatballs?

25:42

Okay. Crock pot them

25:44

with the hot sauce. Beautiful.

25:47

Right. Then you can take them out.

25:49

But doesn't it get super spicy? Because

25:51

I like the spice you want to

25:54

spice. Okay. So

25:56

I have that on top of like a platter with some

25:58

shredded lettuce. So it looks like footballs on a. You

26:00

did this on our

26:02

website. It's a recipe. Take

26:05

some sour cream, put it in a little ziplock bag,

26:07

cut the tip, and then draw a little

26:09

football line on each meatball. To

26:11

your point, if it's too spicy, the sour cream

26:13

cuts the spice. Thank you so

26:16

much. It's

26:18

about getting the flavor of what

26:20

we usually eat during the Super Bowl and

26:23

putting it onto healthier vessels that

26:25

we can like then eat all

26:27

day long. I'd rather eat that

26:29

than two or three wings. And

26:32

what do you drink? A

26:34

lot of alcohol. But

26:38

you're not a beer drinker. No,

26:40

I drink like a vodka soda

26:44

with lime or I'll do like Fresca,

26:46

like a zero calorie Fresca or Sprite

26:48

Zero with vodka. With vodka. You

26:51

don't do a like a cord light. Mm-hmm.

26:56

I don't like beer. Beer tastes like pennies. If

26:58

I'm at like I went to go see

27:01

a Dodgers game and they only had

27:03

beer. So I got a beer and I put it on

27:05

ice with a straw. I

27:09

mean, it does. That's how we drink soda. Yeah,

27:12

it's actually better. It watered it down a little bit

27:14

anyway. But my point is

27:17

there are a way I wanted and I love

27:20

Super Bowl Sunday is a perfect

27:22

example of how I approach recipes

27:24

because I you know, it's

27:27

about the love of food and the ritual

27:29

of food. Yes, the tradition about

27:31

never in the tradition and never

27:33

giving up those flavors but cracking the

27:35

code. So why I get so excited

27:38

to talk about specifically Super Bowl recipes is because I

27:41

feel like I figured it out in for the

27:43

past four or five years when I used to

27:45

just go crazy. Now,

27:49

just by a few switches and

27:51

that's what we're trying to do here is just

27:53

make a few switches that add up. They add

27:55

up so you can still have a ball. Okay,

28:00

but is there anything you miss? Oh,

28:04

yeah, all of it. All the other stuff. Okay. Yeah.

28:09

Yeah. Of course I miss it. You

28:11

know, but I

28:13

want to stick around. I just saw the

28:15

story of the second oldest woman in the

28:18

United States just celebrated her birthday. 116

28:21

years old. Holy

28:24

heck. And still like

28:26

good. And so, unless

28:28

I am a lived at 116, but

28:30

I want to do everything I can that's in

28:33

my power just to go in as long as

28:35

I can. And it's a choice. And it's a

28:37

choice. And so I'm trying to make that choice

28:39

every day. And you know, there's sometimes you talk, I love you

28:41

said you messed up. You make a lot of bad

28:44

choices too. Me too. But

28:47

the more better choices I make, the

28:51

more better your health is. More

28:53

better. We'll

28:59

be right back and we're hello Rossabees. And

29:54

welcome back to the show. I have to ask

29:57

a Rossa peeps for a favor.

29:59

I. I made

30:01

the brave announcement

30:03

a few weeks ago that I'm

30:07

very excited about purchasing a

30:09

large freezer. Yes.

30:13

And because I always want my mom always had a

30:15

big freezer and she would always like, oh, three things

30:17

are cooked things that are, you know, and she with

30:19

the masking tape, she would write the date that she

30:22

froze it. Oh, right. And

30:26

so I,

30:28

I love the idea of, you know,

30:30

we're in the city during the week and they're

30:32

coming out to the country and having things in

30:34

the freezer that like, oh, I'm going to Crock-Pot

30:36

or roast. I

30:39

made some soup two weekends ago and

30:41

we're going to heat that up and eat that all

30:43

weekend. Or, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

30:46

That's the planning ahead. What's the kind of grown up I want to

30:48

be? It makes me feel close to my

30:50

mom. And so I

30:52

want a freezer in the garage.

30:56

It's like your main refrigerator freezer is not big

30:58

enough. Sorry, but I have other stuff in there.

31:01

It is not. I mean, knowing you,

31:03

you've probably done a lot of research. Am

31:05

I wrong? I haven't done any yet

31:07

is my point. I'm honestly,

31:10

I keep asking Wellington if I can.

31:13

And he keeps like looking at me

31:15

like, oh, it feels like such

31:18

an indulgence. I don't know why. But it's

31:21

not. I know. I mean, I have

31:23

indulged in other things I have, you know what I'm

31:25

saying? In that tracksuit. Thank

31:27

you so much. She's a junk suit, but whatever. I

31:32

don't know why I can't wrap my head around this, but

31:35

part of it too is like I don't want to

31:37

get a bad one because my

31:40

mom had one that was

31:42

the same like dementors of a refrigerator, but it was

31:44

one big door and it was a stand up thing. But

31:47

then I had friends who had

31:49

growing up, they had one of the ones that are like a

31:51

cascade that

31:55

they can, you know what I mean? That was like you

31:57

lift it up and then look down into and I always

31:59

thought that. It's a

32:01

casket freezer, but I always thought that was so cool,

32:05

ironically. And so I, but

32:08

I also think that that would be hard to

32:10

organize because you're just stacking things on top of

32:12

things. But the person who's

32:14

designing a nice freezer, Ross, is

32:16

going to have like slidy things

32:18

and like layers. I

32:21

hope so. And I don't know why, but I

32:24

mean, the only place I can think of buying it would

32:26

be Costco. And I don't even know if they sell. I'm

32:28

like, where do you buy a big freezer? Then you need

32:30

to look it up. Why? What

32:32

are you afraid of? I don't know. I

32:34

have a block. Let's get to the root cause.

32:36

What are you actually afraid of? Because

32:43

you make lots of decisions, financial decisions,

32:45

completely on your own because you're a

32:47

big boy and you make decisions

32:49

you want to make with Welly with Welly and same,

32:52

same same. But Welly

32:55

has said over and over, just buy

32:57

the GD freezer and you're

32:59

like, but I don't, I don't, I don't

33:01

tell you something. I think it's

33:04

so cute that you do trying to get

33:06

down to the bigger reason of like something

33:08

in my psyche. But I'm telling you right

33:10

now, it's just that I don't want to mess up

33:12

and get the wrong freezer. Okay. So

33:15

you need to know that I don't think I deserve. I don't

33:17

know what I don't know about big freezers. Understood.

33:20

I don't even know what to

33:22

not know. It's not something

33:24

in my psyche that is freezing

33:26

myself out from getting right.

33:30

It's not really just that I don't want to

33:32

get the wrong one. And so I can't, I

33:35

don't know, like Google, like best.

33:38

I think that's your problem. I

33:41

wonder what would come up. I'll

33:49

be right at least. It'll be like that

33:51

cry cryonics. Is

33:53

that what it's called? Where you freeze somebody.

33:56

Yeah. Best

33:59

can ask it for you. Oh no, they all

34:01

came up. What? Best chest freezers. Chest

34:03

freezer, I do. But I wrote best casket freezer,

34:05

and that just came up. And

34:14

you know you're always going to refer to it as the

34:16

casket freezer. So now I have to get a casket

34:19

freezer. OK, but are you

34:21

asking Ross a piece for advice? Yes. Recommendation.

34:23

You have a

34:25

large freezer. Casket freezer. An

34:28

upright tomb or casket?

34:32

Either way, what

34:34

kind do you

34:36

have? And what are

34:38

the best features that I should be

34:40

looking for? Yeah, do you

34:42

know it worked one time. We had this massive

34:44

freezer. I worked for a drinks company, and we

34:46

had a ton of ice in it, and I

34:49

had to defrost it one time. And

34:51

it had a thing at the bottom where you can drain. So

34:54

if you defrost it, you can drain it. Really?

34:57

From the bottom. Beth, you tell

34:59

the best stories. Oh my gosh,

35:01

thank you so much. Anyway,

35:04

Ross a piece, please. We're going to start

35:07

a conversation trend in the Rossabees Facebook group.

35:09

Please help me out. Got it? Casket

35:11

freezer. Well, I don't know

35:14

let them will let the audience decide Ross

35:16

you decide tomb or casket Okay,

35:19

what's a tomb is that's not even upright. I'm saying it

35:21

wrong. What would be an upright version an

35:24

upright casket Mm-hmm flat

35:26

casket vertical or horizontal casket

35:28

freezer a Tiscuit

35:31
