Having to explain to Yeonmi Park the joke that...

Let me tell everybody, when Andrew and I, like, I will text him occasionally, and Yeonmi, please, I apologize.

You're a lovely woman, and I really enjoy talking to you.

This is not disrespectful Not disrespectful at all, but I would text him photos of Yomi Park and then a photo of a weightlifter

So Yomi's coming on the podcast But I had to have a combo with her before.

I had to tell her about the heavies, right?

The first time she was on my podcast, I was talking to Andrew about it, but he was like, yo, she got the heavy.

We're talking about a woman who survived North Korea.

She tells this horrific story horrific story of her journey to get to get to America and then

I was about to start feeding my wife rats So yo me's coming on the pod And I go I go I can't let her come on the pod without knowing the joke, I feel bad.

So I called her and there's a phone call of me trying to explain to Yomi what the, the heavies means.

So I go, hey, I'm so grateful that you're coming on.

I just want you to know something because you're inside on the joke here.

I don't want anything to be making fun of you.

But have you seen people putting the weight lift emoji underneath your Instagram.

She goes, yeah, I thought that, they thought I was getting fat.

She thought that they were saying that she was fat the whole time.

And she's coming from this country where they're not feeding her at all, and finally she's in a place where she can eat food and she's getting fucking fat shake.

Imagine being her and think, you met her, She's so frail.

Bro, so I go, no, no, no, no, it's not that.

And it's, I go, I just, well you know how you have kind of like sneaky fat tits and I just think, I just think, I just think, I just think, I just think, I just think, you'll see, I'll show you.

Listen, so I go, we were just talking about that, we call those the heavies, and it's just like a funny inside joke And she goes oh, ha ha ha that's great.

She thinks it's hilarious and And then comes in the pod and we joke around it and And when we were joking around with her, she said an interesting thing.

She goes, wow, I've never had anybody make fun of me to my face.

Like, she goes, with her story, Nobody makes fun of her.

But she had never had that happen, at least on camera.

And even that teasing is about an attractive

We were so, we wanted to make sure she was, I mean we literally have the the weight This is culture now, it's do we see people post randomly that have no clue we've spoken about it.

Just randomly call big boobs The heavies.

They have no clue that this happened here.

But that was that, like, the first time you said it when you saw her?
