Do you not splurge? Are you not a spender?

Lizzo
This is who I am.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
This is what I live for.
Trisha Paytas
I want to get to that. There's so many questions I want to ask you.
Lizzo
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
Because there is, like, the whole acting thing I want to get into. But. But before you do, you said you also sports on food, which is, like, crazy because. Yes, today we're like, let's eat. And I was like, okay, what are we eating? You're like, Domino's. And I was like, I love Domino's. But also no one wants Domino's pizza ever. Everyone's just like, no, let's get like Joe's or something. And you're like, domino's. So like Joe's what? Pizza is like the big thing right now. The New York one is here in LA now. I think. Yeah, you're not about it, which I love. So that's why it's like if you swear some food. Domino's is like so cheap. So I was like, what is the splurge that you would do? Like what is it?
Lizzo
What is the spurs? I do. I guess it's like when I go to a restaurant, I. I will order everything on the menu. You know what I mean? And I'll be like, oh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that for the table. Yeah, Pancakes for the tape every single time. Like that's just the kind of girl I am. When I say I splurge on food, that's what I mean.
Trisha Paytas
But is it like a Denny's pancake or a Beverly Hills Hotel pancakes?
Lizzo
It's a Beverly Hills hotel.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Okay. So that's the splurge because that's a.
Lizzo
Golden Diner in New York.
Trisha Paytas
We're doing Cheesecake Factory, which, you know, I, I love to splurge, but I love a cheese.
Lizzo
I just got the Cheesecake Factory chocolate cake because I've been seeing it on TikTok and I hadn't tried it and I heard it was trash. No shade. I heard it was trash. And then I ordered and it was delicious.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I've had the chocolate cake from there. It's really good.
Lizzo
Yeah. And I started my period at the same time. I that shit up last night in the bed watching Love Island. That.
Trisha Paytas
That was your Friday night?
Lizzo
That was my Friday night.
Trisha Paytas
Now I just wonder because you are like such a superstar. Like even you coming in here being so sweet and humble. I was like, this is so crazy because you are so mega famous. I guess telling you before this, I didn't know this could be a possibility. You coming on the podcast. I was so shook up about it. I so nervous. You come in and you're so like real and chill. And I was like, what is her like day to day life? Because on Tik Tok you're posting, you're like right in your little bikinis and stuff. Yeah.
Lizzo
I'm so unaware of my famous. People have to remind me. Like I don't get reminded of my fame until I'm out. And then they're like, I'm like, oh yeah. I Am a little bit like, no, because I am. I'm at home all the time, and I'm surrounded by people who don't give a.
Trisha Paytas
Right, right, right.
Lizzo
I'm like, yeah, good morning. Out of my face. So I'm not like, you know who I am. Like, I'm not that girl.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So when you step out, are you just like, oh, you're always shook A little.
Lizzo
A little. And people have to remind me. Like, people will stare at me, and I'm like, what the are they looking at? I'm like, is it because I'm black? What the are you looking at? Like, I get real. And they're like, it's because you're Lizzo. And I'm like, oh, let me calm down. I get so, like, hostile because it's an uncomfortable thing, too. Like, you know, being stared at and being pointed at and being whispered at, especially as a fat. I was like, are you talking about me? Are you making fun of me? Because that was my. You know, when I was in middle school, in high school, if somebody was whispering and pointing and smiling, they were making fun of me. So I still have that. That doesn't go away. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I. We live next to a high school. Whenever I'm in Target, there's always, like, high school kids, like, taking pictures of me. And, like. And I always don't know if they're, like, doing it because they, like, know who I am or they're just being high school boys. And it triggers me. I'm 37, and I'm just like, oh, my God. They're like. And I want to, like, punch them in the face because I'm like, what the hell? Because you don't know.
Lizzo
Yeah, the high school boys scare me because to this day, like, can I get a picture with you? And I'll be like, what are you going to do with it? Like, what's the caption going to say? Like, yes, this fat cha. Ha. Like, I don't know. Like, am I being trolled? Yeah, it's the high school boys.
Trisha Paytas
Can I tell you that's happened in real life? Like, out of a car, they're like, roll your window down. And I did. And they're literally high school kids. And like, you, fat are like. And I was just like. And I called Moses. I'm like, I'm going to follow them home. Like, that's crazy. Because they were like, young punks. And I was like, that's insane. Yeah, so it does happen. I mean, it's happened one time but, like, it's a real fear.
Lizzo
My nail popped off.
Trisha Paytas
You need something? You want some glue?
Lizzo
My nail tech is in Japan, so I got, I got, I got tape.
Trisha Paytas
On if you need tape. We have some if you need them.
Lizzo
We're okay for now until we start eating and I eat one of them off.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that happens. That would be happening, too. So now, okay, not to, like, get fully into it, because you talk about in every single interview, but you talk about your weight release.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And do you still have those feelings of, like, you said, like, if someone likes points at you or something? You still think, is it because I'm bigger?
Lizzo
Yeah, because I'm still in a bigger body. I'm just not as big as I was. So, like, I don't know. No. Okay. You say that, but I'm also, like.
Trisha Paytas
I looked at you and I was like, oh, my God, Actually, you're so tiny. I wasn't.
Lizzo
I watched when you, you did the podcast too, and you're like, well, she's skinny now. So you are. You are skinny.
Trisha Paytas
Like, we're the same size. No, no, no. I, I, I'm about 270. I'm pushing 270. And sure, I'm five foot three. Yeah, I'm crazy. Yeah, you are.
Lizzo
I'm a little dysmorphic. I've always had D on both ends. Like, when I was at my heaviest, I was, like, skinny.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I feel that way too.
Lizzo
And now I feel like we're the same size.
Trisha Paytas
That's crazy. Yeah, it's dysmorphia for sure. Because I saw you and I was just like, holy. Like, wait, what? Yeah, because you never know on Tik Tok. I mean, you look so tiny, but I also look tiny, and I can make my angles. But then you see yourself, and you're just like, oh. Like, you're actually so little.
Lizzo
I will process that later tonight. But I feel like I'm, I'm still in a bigger body, comparatively.
Trisha Paytas
I see what you're saying. Yeah.
Lizzo
But I'm also in a smaller body comparatively, so I'm in a really weird spot.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
I don't really know how to function.
Trisha Paytas
I can't even imagine. I've never lost a significant amount of weight, so I just really. Psych. Yeah. Like, how does it feel? Does it feel great or does it feel like, wait, now, why is everyone telling me I look good now? Like, I don't know. I don't know what the feeling is. Explain it. That's why I was so excited to meet you too, because I Was like, I need to know.
Lizzo
I am. That's such a great question. I feel like I worked really, really hard, and it was intentional with what I did with my body. So when I get compliments, I'm like, thanks. Like, I really receive it because I. I need to receive that. I don't take it, oh, any weird way because I tried to do this. I know that there are people who unintentionally, like, lose a lot of weight because either they've been depressed or maybe they've been sick or. You know what I mean? And then everyone starts complimenting in them and they're like, well, you don't know how I got here. Like that. I. I can understand how that can be a little toxic and a little up for the head. But for me, I work so hard for it. And the people who compliment me see me working hard for it. They've seen me in my calorie, delicate, and they seen me exercising every day and walking and doing this. So when they say, I've seen the hard work you put in, I'm really proud of you. Yes. The Internet, all of a sudden, like, respecting, like, my music. And because I'm smaller, I'm like, wait a minute, I see some weird comments on the Internet now it's like, oh, now you hear me? Now you see me because I'm smaller. And that's a little weird, but it comes with it.
Trisha Paytas
But do you, like, love it or is it just, like. Cause to me, I'd be like, the only reason I want to lose weight is for that reason because everyone's so fat phobic, right? And, like, watch me get skinny. And then all of a sudden everything opens up. But then I've heard people who've lost a bunch of weight and it, like, isn't how it felt for them. They're just like, this is like, doesn't feel good.
Lizzo
That.
Trisha Paytas
All of a sudden it's that. Or are you like, finally.
Lizzo
No, I made a way for myself at any weight. So at my heaviest, I was walking the Met Gala carpet and, like, stomping that and, you know, Anna's guest, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I don't think, like, being smaller or bigger has opened or closed any doors for me. I do believe I look good as. So I don't think people are lying to me. Like, I really do look good. Like, everything in my life kind of elevated. No shade.
Trisha Paytas
Like, what do you.
Lizzo
Yeah, Like, I mean, it wasn't just releasing the weight. It was like, just Where I was at in my life, like, my team. Like, I just do feel like I am the baddest. Like, no matter what size at this point in my life, I am like, on another level.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it is, like, elevated.
Lizzo
You. It's the blonde. Yes, but you know what I mean.
Trisha Paytas
You love your blonde era. Yeah, it's the new Yitty.
Lizzo
Like, it's. It's a lot. You know, it's the skincare routine that I really, like, started maybe like two years ago when I was also doing my weight release. Like, it's the Invisalign. Like, I'm just really that right now, so. And you can't take it from me.
Trisha Paytas
And that, that is so true. Especially because we are like, literally weeks apart. Like, actual, like, Taurus is 88, like, weeks apart. And I was just like thinking that I was like, I hit my stride too, in like the like late 30s. It like got really good. Like 35. It was like, oh, now it's time. Cause it's like you're not competing with anyone. You're not competing with yourself. And it feels like, so good. And that's like, I am so happy in life. And I'm like, God, I do wanna. I do wanna lose weight. But I'm like, I think the only way I could do it. And I know it must suck for you. Cause you did it like the hard. The easy way or the hard way. I'm sorry. Like, hard work. Not sorry, easy way. But everyone's doing Ozempic, which I don't think is, by the way, easy. Yeah, it sounds like protein. It's not easy.
Lizzo
It's not easy. I don't think it's easy for. Yeah, somebody. Well, actually, I'm not gonna say that because I'll get canceled. But I did see, like, somebody be like, it's. It's a drug to help somebody with like something they're struggling with. Like, I think people, it's. It's their way of being fat phobic. When you're telling someone they're cheating, like, they tell them they're cheating from getting like, weight loss surgery. I'm like, I've heard about that weight loss surgery. That sounds very hard. Actually, a lot of people feel like they almost died on the table and they got so sick after getting like, the weight loss surgery. That's just not easy. You know what I'm saying? So I just feel like people just like to make fun of fat people. Whether you're big or small or. And got small. They like to make fun of Us.
Trisha Paytas
That's the thing. Right. It's like. Then you, like, lose the weight and you're still, like, criticized and. Yeah. So I think the only way I could do it is Ozempic, but then I'm like, who knows? Maybe it won't even work for me. I don't know.
Lizzo
Have you tried Ozempic?
Trisha Paytas
No. I've been, like, pregnant for the past three years, but I'm done after this, so after this, I want to do it. Have you ever tried.
Lizzo
Wait, how many kids you got?
Trisha Paytas
I've got three. Well, threes on the way. Yeah. And then I'm. I'm done. Yeah. Huh.
Lizzo
Three is on the way. So that's why you said that's your baby from two years ago.
Trisha Paytas
Two years ago. She's, like, bigger now. Yeah. So I have three, but I want. But this. The GLP one started to become popular when I was pregnant the first time.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I would have been the first in line to do it. I. I just, like I said, been pregnant, but the Manjaro. Have you tried any of them ever?
Lizzo
Like, I've tried everything. It's just the science for me. Calories in versus calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
So if you. Right. It makes you feel full. So if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same.
Trisha Paytas
That heart's hard, though. Is that when you started your, like, spiritual, like, meditation? Were you doing this at the beginning? Because how do you get there? Because I can't. I'm hungry all the time, and I want to eat all the time, like, mentally, I think.
Lizzo
Well, what did it for me is. Oh, this is. Well, actually, it was not being vegan.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, you think? Yeah. You think controversial when I was.
Lizzo
Say that? Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really, I was consuming, like, 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day, which I know. Like the calorie thing. Oh, my God, I'm getting so much backlash from this. The calorie thing is like, oh, don't talk about calories. We shouldn't be counting calories. However, we live in a society that makes super calorically dense food, and they hide it, like. So you're eating something that's small and you think, oh, yeah, this is like a little healthy, little protein bar. It'll be like 300 calories and filled with all this like fake sugar and weird that you up on the inside that you're not even aware of, then you still be hungry.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef and chicken and fish, like I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of like fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.
Trisha Paytas
Interesting. So when you went to meet how long were you vegan for?
Lizzo
I was, I have been in a plant based lifestyle. It was a long time. I think I started around the time my dad passed away. So I think like 20.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, wow.
Lizzo
I think I was like plant based for like 10 years and then like really vegan for like from like 2020 to 2023.
Trisha Paytas
Wow. So when you say plant based, you're also not eating meat during that time.
Lizzo
It was like maybe eggs or you know, it was vegetarian at that time.
Trisha Paytas
So then going to like ground beef, you're not just like, was it a shock? Were you just like, what the.
Lizzo
No, no.
Trisha Paytas
You're like, okay, this is it.
Lizzo
This feels good, baby.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
But I introduced it in Japan. So when I was in Japan for the first time because I heard the Japanese diet is like the healthiest diet in the world. So I was there and I was like, I'm gonna try the food here. And my, my body was so happy.
Trisha Paytas
Really?
Lizzo
My body was like, more, more please. And I was like, okay, this is what my body likes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
But that's what I always try to stress and I don't like to tell people too much about releasing weight. Like what I did.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Because I don't want people to do what I did and it doesn't work for them. Everybody's body's different. So I don't know if like GLP1 might be the only thing that works for you because I don't know what your blood work is. Like.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
I don't know how your body breaks down food sugar. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
But I know for me I just had to start eating meat again. And you eat meat?
Trisha Paytas
I do, but I do love the pasta and the rice too. That's like where I'm at, baby. Do you have any tips for that? Is there any hacks pasta?
Lizzo
Wait, so you actually want to be smaller?
Trisha Paytas
I think always. I'm very happy in life and I do love the way I look. I'm very much like you. Like, I do love the way I look. But everyone is getting thin now and I'm like, maybe it's Just like, my time just to see how the reactions would be. Honestly.
Lizzo
Wow.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. Yeah, but wait.
Lizzo
But, like, don't do it because everyone's getting thin now.
Trisha Paytas
That's how I feel. Because I'm just like, well, everyone's getting such a reaction, and I'm like, that's. You know what I mean? Like, it's just. It's so. And then, yes, of course, being bigger, you know, it's just like, you know, obviously it would feel better to be more comfortable, and I could just, like, you know, slide things. I don't know.
Lizzo
My body was hurting. Like, my. I. My back was in such a bad place where I couldn't stand for more than, like, 15 minutes at a time. I had to sit down and do, like, figure fours and stretch my back out during dance rehearsal for tour. And I was like, in. In between, like, songs and stuff. When I would go back to the Quick Change, I would have to sit and, like, and stretch my back out. And then immediately after the shows, I would have to cold plunge because my back was just radiating so much pain. And it was from the discs being compressed in my back. And the only way to really do that, to alleviate that is surgery or releasing a little bit of weight. So I was like, I want to be Tina Turner. I want to be doing stadium shows when I'm 70.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
If my back is on this track right now, there's no way I'm going to be able to do that without serious surgery. So this. That was my decision. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Of course. Yeah. That. I think that's where I'm at. And again, I think it's like, maybe when you hit, like, you know, in your 30s, you just. Your body's so different, you know, in your 20s. So that's how I feel, too. I do feel, like, very achy and stuff. So I'm like, maybe it is just.
Lizzo
Or the knees. My younger days, I could twerk and heels with this much ankle and this much need because, you know, I got little ankles and little wrists and stuff in a big.
Trisha Paytas
You do have little wrists. I have very thick wrists. My wrists are huge, baby.
Lizzo
And I was out there just busting it down. Like, I can't even twerk like I used to. I can't do the up and down. Because you did.
Trisha Paytas
You really did.
Lizzo
I mean, I was the throw queen.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. That's what was so inspiring about you, like, being at the Met Gala and stuff. Because, like, I was like, I really don't think they invite big people There. And no, I was like. When I saw you there, I was like, what's going on? But you did everything.
Lizzo
If you ask Chad GPT, I'm the first plus size black woman ever on the carpet at the Met gala.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, probably the only one ever, right? I don't think any other plus size.
Lizzo
There's a few. There's a few girls. Precious Lee.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
Ashley Graham. Plus size, but not black.
Trisha Paytas
Right? Right.
Lizzo
Paloma.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
Yeah, there's a few. There's a few girls now. But if you ask Chad gpc who the first was, Honey, I know.
Trisha Paytas
I remember being so shook because I was like, especially vogue and stuff like that. I was just like. Which is inspiring because it's like, you know, as like a bigger girl, you're just like, well, there's not a lot for us out there.
Lizzo
Right.
Trisha Paytas
Also, the Hustlers movie. I remember seeing you in there. I was like, that was like. Like, that's like my dream role. Like, I love it. No, like, every role you had, I was like, oh, my God. That's like a dream role. So good. How did you, like. How do you, like, Are you. How'd you get into acting? All of a sudden, like, okay, you're like a singer. You win all these Grammys, and all of a sudden, like, you're an actress. Like, you're in all these movies.
Lizzo
You know what happens? I think my online Persona or personality. I'm not gonna call it a Persona. What? I think my online presence is the best word connected with a lot of casting directors and writers and directors. Because that's how I got most of my early role. I wasn't, like, going out for movies and stuff. Like, they would come to me and be like, hey, we wrote this part for you.
Trisha Paytas
Stop it.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Hustlers are like, here, have this role.
Lizzo
Yes. And I was like, okay. I was like, I play a stripper all day, baby. You don't know me. Back in the day in Houston, that was almost my ministry.
Trisha Paytas
Did you ever do it and realize.
Lizzo
No.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you would have been so. Because watching you and that you had the hot pink outfit, I was like, period.
Lizzo
That would have been so good.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God.
Lizzo
But yeah, you worked it.
Trisha Paytas
You danced in the movie. So they teach you or you just.
Lizzo
No, I just. Just. I'm from Houston, right?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
And then the coast is from Houston.
Trisha Paytas
Houston, yeah. Huh. Thank you so much to the sponsor, today's episode, Ollipop. Oh, I'm so excited, you guys. They have so many flavors in stores now. I love to try it out My husband just brought over this crisp apple, which I'm so excited to try out. Let's do it together. Crack it open with me, you guys. Let's see. Cheers.
Lizzo
Oh.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yes. It's like sparkling apple juice. Oh, my gosh. This hits so perfectly. It's giving so many nostalgia, so many feels. Feels like a celebration. And we're celebrating day because Olipop is today's sponsor. Olipop is a new kind of soda that combines the classic soda taste with benefits of a functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. Olipop is reimagining soda with high fiber and only 2 to 5 grams of sugar per can. Olipop is sold online and in almost 50,000 retailers nationwide. I see them everywhere. I am so obsessed with Olipop, you guys. Olipop is nostalgia for so many reasons. Okay? When I think of soda, I think of childhood. I think of being carefree. Pizza on a Friday night with some soda. Okay. But as an adult, one of the first things we're told is, cut out soda. Okay? Because all that sugar in there, it's like, oh, do we really want to drink our sugar? Olipop gives you that same refreshing taste, but it's healthier. Okay. A healthier alternative, but it's still not boring. Okay. I love water, but also, like, do we want to drink water with pizza? Ollie Pops got you covered. And their flavors are endless. I think we had a lemon lime one. There's a peaches and cream. There's an orange one. The summer flavors are here. I highly recommend checking them out. If you're looking for a healthy cola alternative, the Olipop vintage Cola has just 2 grams of sugar as compared to a regular Coca Cola, which has 39 grams of sugar.
Lizzo
Yee.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, I think we know where we're going with this one. Their orange grease has 5 grams of sugar compared to the fonta, which has 44 grams sugar. I need to try that orange squeeze. Okay. I need to try that asap, because, honestly, the Fonto was, like, my life. All right, guys, if you want a healthy alternative to soda, try Olipop. It is delicious. Let me tell you. It's amazing. Y' all were so excited when Olipops sponsored our last episode, as was I. Okay? This is something that we love, we incorporate into our lives. It just makes life fun. Okay?

Lizzo
Wow. This is cross.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So that's what it was giving. When I was watching it, I was like, wait, this is like giving Anna Nicole realness with the pink and the stripper.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
I saw somebody say they were giving Anna Nicole pre hydroxy cut, and I just thought that was.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, who is saying that about who?
Lizzo
You? No, no. What?
Trisha Paytas
Who said what about that? I love it.
Lizzo
Nobody says it about me. I said they were giving that. And I just thought that was so iconic.
Trisha Paytas
I did love her trim spa back in the day. Do you remember those commercials where she lost. You don't remember the trim spa where she lost like £60 and she'd be like, trim spa, baby. Like my.
Lizzo
She wasn't on no trim spa.
Trisha Paytas
What do you think she did?
Lizzo
I think she just was living. She was just. She was sliving. No, you know what I mean.
Trisha Paytas
Love was living. I just found out was sliving. Met at Pride. I saw Paris for the first time.
Lizzo
Yeah, that's their first time seeing Paris.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. She's an icon.
Lizzo
I would have thought that y' all was because you. Have you been to her house?
Trisha Paytas
No, no.
Lizzo
This.
Trisha Paytas
Why would I be at Paris?
Lizzo
Y' all have the same. Like the bling.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I do love. I do love a Paris moment. But again, the photos, like. Well, just down here we have photos of me upstairs.
Lizzo
No, there was one in your bathroom, too.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. In the studio area.
Lizzo
Listen, I have photos. I have a bunch of of me that an artist made of my head in my house.
Trisha Paytas
That's so cool. How big is it?
Lizzo
It's very big. Like, you would have thought I was like a US President or something.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love that. How did you get it? They just gave it to you?
Lizzo
They're artists and I commissioned them.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you had it made? I love it. I do that all the time, too.
Lizzo
Well, I was gonna get a bus. Cause that's what they do.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
And I was like, oh, that's cute. And I was like, damn. But like, what if it was me, though? So I'm. Look, I'm just like, y' all, I love myself.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, but that's like, you kind of have to, right? Because the world is like so hard and like, think about how much like, we love ourselves. But it's like so many people just telling us, like, especially like, you probably know, like you were so long, like, like a butt of so many jokes. And it's like, y. Like, how does that like, you know, not affect you because you're so like. I think because you're so out there like Melissa McCarthy. Right? She doesn't get the fat jokes. Right. She wasn't getting like south parked or something like that. Right. But I think because you're like, so sexual and you show your body and that's how I am too. People like, hate to see that.
Lizzo
Yes. They hate to see a fat girl loving herself.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Oh, God, it's triggering.
Trisha Paytas
And so.
Lizzo
But that's why I kept doing it. I like pissing people off.
Trisha Paytas
And you're like, I look good. You know, that's how I feel too. And it's just like one of those things like everyone will drag you down. So you have to love yourself so much more, you know what I mean? Than like anything.
Lizzo
But yeah, it's a. You have to aggressively love yourself. And I feel like there's been a lot of like, discourse where there's been like, anti self love rhetoric in the world where they're just like, you know, I don't like being told that I have to love myself. And I'm like, like, that's fine. Cuz a lot of. A lot of times this message isn't for you. A lot of times this message is for the girls who were told by society that they should not exist and that they should. And if they do exist, they should hate themselves. Like, especially the girls with the smaller bodies who are like, what if I don't want to love myself? I'm like, that's fine because the world will tell you that you're beautiful. The world doesn't tell us that we're beautiful. We need aggressive self love. We need radical self love because we're not getting it anywhere else. Honey, if you want to hate yourself sometimes, sometimes, go for it, honey. Ain't nobody forcing you to love yourself. But baby, when I wake up in the morning and I see the whole world telling me that I should die, I have to tell myself to Live. So if that offends you, look the other way.
Trisha Paytas
That. That is such a good point you made. Because that is so true. It's like sometimes even me, right, being like, older, sometimes I just, like, need to hear it because it's just like the struggle is, like, so real for you. When you first came out, I remember being so jealous and so, like. Cause I was like, wait, there's only room for one. You took the spot of the one pretty big girl. And I can never be that. Even though, like, obviously I can't sing like you or dance like you. But in my head, I'm thinking, oh, this is like you filled the quota. You know what I mean? Rather than being like, oh, like you're opening it up for so many people. Like, Ashley Graham was just on Broadway as Roxie Hart, which was like, so cool. Cause there's never been plus size. So I feel like, yeah, you're told so much.
Lizzo
But that's how I felt about Ashley Graham. I didn't feel negatively about her, but once I saw. Saw her start, I remember she was like a. Not torrid. What's the other?
Trisha Paytas
Wayne Bryant.
Lizzo
Lane Bryant model, wasn't she? And I remember, was it lame Bryant?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So she did like Sports Illustrated.
Lizzo
She did like before all of that. It was like Lane Bryant. And I would be like, oh, my gosh, she's so beautiful. Like, who is she? And then she just started getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And then I saw her, like, do Sports Illustrated. I saw her, like, host Miss Universe backstage. And I was like, let her on the stage. Let her run for Miss Universe.
Trisha Paytas
So you were like, all about it?
Lizzo
Oh, I was all about it. Because I was like, if she can do it, I can do it.
Trisha Paytas
That's such a better mindset. Mine was just like, man, Lizzo. Because also people were calling me Lizzo and I just. I didn't have the talent. I was like, there's just no way I can ever be in this world. Look at.
Lizzo
Look who's Lizzo now.
Trisha Paytas
He's cosplaying you. Here's pizza coming in. Yes. We don't have to eat it now.
Lizzo
But we can't eat it. No, but we can eat it now. We shall.
Trisha Paytas
Valley's.
Lizzo
My stomach is growling.
Trisha Paytas
Honey. Yes. Oh, my God. Same. I was so excited. Okay. We also got extra pizzas in the glam room if you guys want some. Yeah, the bar.
Lizzo
It's the Barbie. The Barbie for me. Oh, yes. Oh, my God, I love this.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. That wasn't even on my Notes. But I totally forgot that you did the Barbie movie. Oh, God, you really are an icon. I really was so jealous for so long. And then when I tell you, mention me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait, we have to sing together.
Lizzo
Forget that I was in the Barbie movies.
Trisha Paytas
The most iconic song, too. And twice you did, like, a repeat.
Lizzo
The bad day version.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. No, you're an iconic. So we did get a stuffed crust.
Lizzo
What is your. This is your order, right? Because they said, what do you want? And I was like, I want whatever Trish wants.
Trisha Paytas
Which made me nervous because I'm a very bland eater.
Lizzo
Really?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
That's fine. Wait, should I open it? Should we do the reveal? Yeah, It's a. It's a cheese pizza.
Trisha Paytas
We got other ones in case you want other.
Lizzo
Wait, but this is your order. This is what you would eat in the car.
Trisha Paytas
This is what I would eat in the car.
Lizzo
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Okay. How do you feel about just a cheese pizza stuffed crust?
Lizzo
I'm so happy.
Trisha Paytas
Are you sure?
Lizzo
But this. Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Look at the oil, the garlic oil on the bottom.
Lizzo
But this crust has something special about it.
Trisha Paytas
This is a stuffed crust, but, like.
Lizzo
The outside has, like, speckles and Parmesan.
Trisha Paytas
Have you never had the parmesan stuffed crust from Domino's?
Lizzo
I haven't. What? I have not.
Trisha Paytas
I love that you're like. Like, let's do her order. I was. I was so nervous. But we do have. Yeah, there's pepperoni, there's vegetable. Because, again, I didn't know.
Lizzo
So I've actually haven't had Domino's in years.
Trisha Paytas
What? So you just wanted it for this?
Lizzo
I just wanted it for you. Yeah. I saw you eating it in the car, and I was like, damn, she's making that good.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. I'm so honored. Wait. This is crazy. You're such a. Cheers. Absolutely. Cheers to everything. Oh, my gosh.
Lizzo
Here's to life and to loving our bodies. Loving our bodies at any and every size.
Trisha Paytas
And eating.
Lizzo
Eating stuffed crust cheese pizza.
Trisha Paytas
I'm gonna cry. I'm really gonna cry. Wow, you got a good cheese bowl. Let me try it.
Lizzo
Oh, my God. I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. And it's so hot still. I love that you want to eat right away. Some people are like, let's wait, and then it gets cold.
Lizzo
Nope.
Trisha Paytas
Huh?
Lizzo
I was actually. No. I was so afraid y' all would think I was a diva, because I was gonna be like, if you already ordered the pizza, I'm running late. Can you order another one so it can be fresh.
Trisha Paytas
Are you kidding me? My biggest pet peeve is, like, waiting. We just finished a 35 city tour and if there was food, I was like, it has to get there. Like when I'm done with the meet and greets or we have to order new because Piping hot please sits.
Lizzo
I'm like, yeah, give the pizza to somebody. Somebody got to eat it. But it ain't going to be me.
Trisha Paytas
We saw the same that way. Oh, my God. It's so crazy. I love that everyone here is the Domino's too. That makes me so happy. Yay. Can I tell you? I know I talk about this every episode and I'm sorry to be annoying, but, like, they sponsor every single influencer multiple times. Never once have I gotten a sponsorship Domino's. And I've been like their Domino's girl for like 10 plus years.
Lizzo
I only wanted Domino's because of you.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God.
Lizzo
I don't even know any other influencer who. I don't even know who else would.
Trisha Paytas
They don't eat it. They don't eat it. But they eat it. Because specifically this crust was doing a big campaign sponsoring everyone, and now we have Lizzo eating Domino's the first time in years. How do you like the cheese crust? Not sponsored.
Lizzo
Maybe. This is amazing.
Trisha Paytas
It's so good, right?
Lizzo
Ah.
Trisha Paytas
Because it's like a little cheese stick. And talk about me eating. Good. You eat it so good because you're getting the cheese pull.
Lizzo
It's like I'm on my period too. Like we're on the opposite ends. Like you're pregnant. I'm on my period. We're like on the opposite ends of the reproduction scale.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, right. Oh, right. Because when you have your period, you can't get pregnant.
Lizzo
You couldn't be further apart.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, but we still enjoy pizza the same. Which is the best part about being a girl.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, what is that one?
Lizzo
I like when my hair is done. Oh. I like when my nails are done. Being a girl is fun.
Trisha Paytas
I love that. I love that you didn't just bust out a song anytime.
Lizzo
I'm like a Disney princess.
Trisha Paytas
Do you love Disney? Are you just like the voice of a Disney princess?
Lizzo
I do. I mean, I feel like our generation, we grew up with Disney. Like, we. It was just like what it is. So it was like we played Disney princesses. You had to pick which one you were.
Trisha Paytas
Which one were you? Because we were like 90s.
Lizzo
Every time.
Trisha Paytas
Really?
Lizzo
So when, like, Halle Bailey was the new mermaid, I Was like, yes.
Trisha Paytas
Can we talk about that?
Lizzo
Yeah, we could talk about it. I auditioned for Ursula and didn't get it.
Trisha Paytas
Do you think you were? Do you know how far you made it? Like, were you doing callbacks? Were you doing screen tests? I'm so. It makes so much sense. And I was like, how did you love Melissa McCarthy? But also like, how did you not get it? You're like a singer, you know?
Lizzo
Right. But. But I just feel like no shade. Maybe they didn't want like a black princess and a black Ursula. Just you.
Trisha Paytas
You would have been purple in all fairness. You know what I mean?
Lizzo
Like, that's actually the perfect response.
Trisha Paytas
It wouldn't have really, you know, mattered.
Lizzo
I don't know. I feel like also I'm not the bad guy. You know what I mean? Like, I'm the good guy. And I think I was a little too, like, likable.
Trisha Paytas
And you are again, obviously like most of my pretty. But you are very like, pretty. So it's like hard to be like a sea witch. You know what I mean? Especially Ursula. She's kind of known for being.
Lizzo
They were like giggling and kicking their feet in the audition room.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, really? So you were in front of everybody?
Lizzo
Yeah. And I think Melissa is like, has more range as an actress and could like bring out that, you know, menacing side. Like I was too. Like, I was like, come on, girl. You know, I was like, yeah. Ariel would want to give everything away to be with me. She'd be like, you know what? I don't need a voice.
Trisha Paytas
She be like, I want to say.
Lizzo
Let me turn up with Ursula.
Trisha Paytas
So were you playing it different like that? Were you playing in like a different character than the Ursula? Like maybe not as villainous.
Lizzo
Not as villainous. I was a little too like, fun maybe.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. That's how you auditioned for.
Lizzo
But not funny. I feel like Ursula was. I feel like Melissa McCartney did an amazing job cuz she's a comedic actress. Then Ursula is a little funny. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Lizzo
She has her little jokes and she'll be like, you know, body language, you know, like that's her thing.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Lizzo
I think I wasn't funny enough.
Trisha Paytas
You're so funny. Like, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Like I, you know, you, you're an actress. You did Mandalorian. It was Melon. Before or after?
Lizzo
Oh my God, after.
Trisha Paytas
Oh. So do you think maybe they were like, we love her though, so let's put her as Jack Black's wife.
Lizzo
Baby, I'm in the Disney universe now.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, not only Disney. Like, Star Wars. Like, I. I did not watch Mandalorian, but I. I watched the one episode you were in because he's like, jack Black, which I love. And then he's like, Lizzo. And I was like, wait, perfect. What? Like, what do you mean, Lizzo's in Star Wars? Like, it was just another thing. I'm telling you.
Lizzo
I had. Don't make me cry. That, like, Lizzo's in Star wars is such a crazy statement because I, like, grew up, like, I was a Star wars girl. I was. We watched Star Trek in. In the household. But Star wars is like, something you never. I went to when I had a meeting with the agency that I was with at the time. They were like, anyone's career. Like, who. That we represent. Whose career would you want? And I was like. And this was like 2000, maybe 19 or something. And I was like, donald Glover, because he can have his own TV show. He can win a Grammy for his music, and he can be in Star Wars.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
And I was like. I was like, he has the perfect career. And then, then I got a TV show. I won a Grammy. And then once the Star wars thing happened, I was like, this is crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, man. You actually manifested. You believe in the manifestations and all of that.
Lizzo
What? I used to look in the mirror and just say everything. Mind you, during my weight release, there was a lot of me looking in the mirror and just being like, you did it. I'm so proud of you. You did it. You did it, girl. I'm so proud of you. Like, I just would say that to myself every day, no matter where I was in my journey, me. And I did have a number that I wanted to hit, and I would look in the mirror and I would say that number to myself. I would be like, today, you. You weigh. And I would say that number. And I'd be like, I'm so proud of you. You did it. And here we are.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, we're. That's one thing I've actually. I love manifesting too. I've actually never manifested, like, a number. Maybe I should do that. Because in my head, I'm just like, well, this is me forever. I'm just like, this is what I am. And I'm like, I've tried to come to terms with it. I'm like, everyone's getting like, maybe I'm just supposed to be the fat girl. Maybe I'm just supposed to take once McCarthy's roles and Lizzo's world. Maybe I'll just be fat. You know, I'm still fat.
Lizzo
Don't leave me since I. I'm done. I'm not. I'm not getting no smaller than this, honey. I'm.
Trisha Paytas
I'm.
Lizzo
I have. I'm plateaued.
Trisha Paytas
You're my. You're my goal weight. Because I. I never. I've never actually visualized that. I was always scared if I visualize being skinny, like you were saying earlier to come in, like, a different form, like depression or something. So I'm like, let me not visualize that, but, like, let me be. I always just say, like, be healthier, because I know what you mean. Like, that kind of stuff. Like your knees.
Lizzo
Do you feel like you feel like you're healthy right now?
Trisha Paytas
That's a loaded question. Like, I kind of. I mean, you know, because obviously, I mean, you're an actual performer. But I did, like, a tour for the first time, like a big one. And I was on stage like, an hour and a half, like, moving and stuff, and I was like, wow, I feel pretty healthy that I'm able to do this. Yeah.
Lizzo
While pregnant. Get out of here.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So I feel good. And then. Yeah. When you're pregnant, you do all the tests, and so I'm like, well, I feel. But I know I don't eat well. Like, I. I know that. Like, it's not. You were saying vegan kind of of made you, like, you full. Like, the rice and stuff, which isn't, like, bad. Mine's like Wendy's and stuff. You know, that's what I'm eating, so I think I need to switch.
Lizzo
You eat a lot of fast food.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. So healthy. Probably not, but I need to get better at that, which is my age.
Lizzo
Do you drink pop? Like, soda pop?
Trisha Paytas
I actually don't. No. I actually don't. I know everyone says that's, like, the first thing to cut out or. I heard you said your Starbucks drinks in the morning, like, sugary drinks, but I don't drink those either, so it's like, great. What can I cut out? I need to cut out the fast food.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You never did fast fast food.
Lizzo
I don't do fast food. And not because it's like, yeah, fast food freaks me out. The only fast food I'll eat is raising canes. That was my first job. I used to work there. And I know that. I know where that chicken comes from.
Trisha Paytas
Real chicken.
Lizzo
It's real chicken. It's delicious. It's. It. I love raising canes.
Trisha Paytas
They sponsor a lot of people, too. I wish they'd sponsor us, right? They sponsor podcasts left and right. I'm like, where's ours? I love rain.
Lizzo
The owner, Todd Graves, he sent me a bottle of Dom to my table. We were at the same restaurant. Cuz he remembered I met him when.
Trisha Paytas
I was 16 and he knew that you worked at Raising Canes. Oh my God, I love that. Sent you a bottle Dom. Okay. Raising Cane's doing well.
Lizzo
Oh, baby. They were only in Texas and Louisiana and I was like, I want to open a chain in la. And then I blinked and they're just everywhere in LA now. He's doing very well.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, they should give you one because Post Malone had one in Texas. Like, they should definitely give you like your own.
Lizzo
I was vegan when Post Malone had his and I was, was like, what can I do? Can I do like vegan tenders? And now I'm not. I'm like, bring it on.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, Liz.
Lizzo
Rais and canes collab. Purple sauce. I'm claiming it now.
Trisha Paytas
Or pink? Cuz you're so pink now too.
Lizzo
I am so pink, but purple is. I'm a purple person.
Trisha Paytas
Purple's your color. Another reason you should have been Ursula, cuz purple would have been.
Lizzo
Hello. I look good in purple.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, purple's good for you.
Lizzo
Wait, we were talking about something.
Trisha Paytas
Everything. Ursula.
Lizzo
Oh, fast food.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yes.
Lizzo
I, I do think that fast food has invisible additives that are making us all sick and addicted. And I think if you cut that, if you started cooking at home, and it doesn't even matter which, if you cook the same, but just at home, if you like stuffed crust pizza, make your stuffed crust pizza from scratch. You know what I mean? You got, you got a little money. You can get a chef up in here too.
Trisha Paytas
And kind of like, I think a chef would be cheaper than we doordash.
Lizzo
A lot that you would save money.
Trisha Paytas

Lizzo
That's it?
Trisha Paytas
I think so. Because he does not like fast food. So I'm always, like, doordashing for myself. And he'll like, yeah, I just gotta find foods that I like because I am picky. And I know. I know. I'm a big girl, and everyone's like, oh, how are you picky? You eat so much food. But it's like, I'm picky on what I like.
Lizzo
I mean, you got. You could have gotten anything on the planet. You got a cheese pizza.
Trisha Paytas
I know. That's why I was like, no, she's gonna judge me, but. But I got other ones. Are you sure you don't want, like, a veggie or a great.
Lizzo
I. I do want, like, a little crispy Coke, A little Coke Zero.
Trisha Paytas
Coke Zero. We have that ready for you. We have the popcorn too, but it's a microwave one. If you need a microwave, you can microwave it.
Lizzo
I'm okay.
Trisha Paytas
I never heard of that popcorn you liked either.
Lizzo
Which one?
Trisha Paytas
It wasn't Skinny Pop, but it was, like, smart.
Lizzo
Oh, that so good.
Trisha Paytas
Really? They use like that, too.
Lizzo
They use, like, ghee butter or something, and it just is so buttery.
Trisha Paytas
It's a microwave one, right?
Lizzo
Wait, no, no. Which one you got?
Trisha Paytas
We can only find the microwave one. I don't know.
Lizzo
Oh, this is the part of town we in. You and the. You in the. You in the boonies, you in the boondocks.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you for coming out this way. It is far.
Lizzo
We are as far. Anyways, I think you're beautiful as you are. You said you weigh 260?
Trisha Paytas
I'm about 270 right now with the baby.
Lizzo
And I think 270 is still such a cute number. Don't even play me. That's. I would be like, yeah, I'm 270.
Trisha Paytas
Like, I say it more of, like, owning. I'm a little embarrassed by it, but it's almost like I just like to say things before, you know. What you mean? Like, I like when you came on here, I'm like, I have to tell her that I was, like, jealous and envious because, like, you know, it just, like, eats me inside. Same thing with the weight. I'm like, I just gotta tell people my weight because I don't know why.
Lizzo
I feel like that's why I would be like, I'm a big girl. I'm fat. I would say it before because so people wouldn't say it to me. And it would kind of like disarm it and I would take the power back in it.
Trisha Paytas
It.
Lizzo
I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you look. I feel like your body is so cute and everyone. All the things I see about you on the Internet is always positive about how your body is Tea. And so cute. Like, you have a really cute shape too. Like.
Trisha Paytas
Well, I think it. Thank you. I think body positivity movement has helped because. Yeah, back in the day when I was like 80 pounds lighter, I was like, you're fat. Like, I was fat. Just a Simpson in the Eminem video in like 2009. And they called me like a morbidly obligated babies because sometimes I was like 180.
Lizzo
I was like, crazy, right? How much things have changed? Like, these kids do not know. I know it was a war zone. Jessica Simpson mom pants. That is my nightmare. Yeah, I couldn't like. And mind you, I was way bigger than Jessica Simpson when that came out. And I was like, wait, is something wrong with me?
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Do you want to straw? Yes. Yes, yes. Poke zero. Is that. Do you think that's a works good? I. I've never had it really.
Lizzo
Is this evil to. Is that plastic?
Trisha Paytas
You want plastic one?
Lizzo
I love the turtles.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Love it.
Lizzo
I'm gonna say that I love the turtles, but this paper gets stuck to my. My lip gloss. You know what?
Trisha Paytas
I don't understand and maybe, maybe someone can explain it and I, I'm. I'm with you. I feel like I never really knew about the environment and stuff until I had kids. I was like, okay, we should probably start doing stuff to like help.
Lizzo
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Global warming and stuff like that. But okay, they have the paper straws, but the cup is plastic.
Lizzo
Let me, Let me tell you something.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you.
Lizzo
It's a psyop.
Trisha Paytas
They.
Lizzo
There is a concerted effort to make the general public carry the burden of climate change and the negative effects that. That are happening to our environment. When it's really a small handful of companies and it's. They're deforesting like the rainforest and they're like pumping toxins into the sky and they're like dumping our trash into the oceans. But like, they try to guilt the average, every everyday American. And really the things that they even give us the options, they give us straws. Recycling. It's an illusion. They're not doing anything with that recycling. When you put in the recycling bin that just is going to the same damn place the straws Are. They don't have an effect on.
Trisha Paytas
I just never heard this ever.
Lizzo
I. I go into like, deep dives online. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God.
Lizzo
And I, I read up, I read up on these kinds of things, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep our environment clean. It doesn't. Like, I don't litter. Like, if I see trash on the ground, I try and scoop it up with my foot and put in. You know what I'm saying? Like, I, I think we should keep our planet clean. But, like, like the burden should be on these. Like, there's like a handful of companies that are, like, contributing to, like, the destruction of this planet. And, and nobody's, nobody's holding them responsible.
Trisha Paytas
But like, who, like, companies that are like Amazon, like, you know, are they big companies? Are they just like these, like, big.
Lizzo
Companies who own the companies?
Trisha Paytas
So scary. And then there's like, nothing about it.
Lizzo
So scary.
Trisha Paytas
I know. I love that you deep dive into this stuff because I'm. I need to. Because now I do get more, like, concerned about it, but I'm also like, I feel helpless. Like, what can you do the best.
Lizzo
Thing we can do? Well, as I look around, I'm like, under consume.
Trisha Paytas
I'm trying to get rid of everything. I'm trying to under consume.
Lizzo
Under consume. Core. That, that helps on an individual level, but really, it's just the problem is so big and so out of our control. It's crazy.
Trisha Paytas
I'm saying, it's like, so scary.
Lizzo
Like, I, I'd like to support companies like Four Oceans and stuff. They go out and they like, scoop, scoop the trash out of the ocean. Like, they do it every day. It's incredible. Like, if, if you ever get this on your algorithm, it's called Four Oceans. They, like get giant nets and they have these ships and they just scoop the trash out of the ocean.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my gosh. I've never heard that.
Lizzo
And what. Yeah, there's people who do it.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that's amazing.
Lizzo
Yeah, they're incredible.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, so they're helping because that's what I understand too. With like the plastic straw situation. I was like, yeah, getting there and all this other. But it's not the plastic straws, just people throwing their ocean.
Lizzo
I mean, it's so much like the deforcing for cattle is like, crazy because they're like, like, they're like, like mowing down the rainforest.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my gosh.
Lizzo
In order to like, have like, slaughterhouses for cattle.
Trisha Paytas
I was just talking about this at one of our shows because I was talking about how the Rainforest Cafes are getting are, are being shut down. But I was like, what about the rainforest? Like, do you know what I mean? Like what is happening here?
Lizzo
They're trying to get rid of Rainforest Cafe so that we could forget the rainforest existed because they're destroying it.
Trisha Paytas
Wake up people. That's what I've been saying. Because I was so distracted by all the Rainforest Cafe's clothing and I like, was, was like. But you get it. I knew you would.
Lizzo
I over get it. I overstand.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah.
Lizzo
I, I, I, I watch the world with I, I don't, I sleep with one eye open on this world.
Trisha Paytas
We're on the same wavelength, I swear. I just was talking about this like last weekend in Atlantic City and I was just like, oh my God, this is like so crazy. And I, I need to deep dive more. But I do get scared.
Lizzo
Don't you feel like helpless? Like a little tiny human that's like helpless. And you're just like watching this, you're like, what the, the do we do? Yeah, what do we do? Every day I wake up and I'm like, what do we do? Well, and then it's like, okay, let me get on tick tock and yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
The awareness is good though also. Trisha. No, no, you did it. I had to get my gallbladder out, the whole thing. But yeah, I tried to go back.
Lizzo
On it and I've literally just been getting sick after sick.
Trisha Paytas
So I stopped. Yeah, I know a lot of people are like that, that are ping me.
Lizzo
I, I right, yeah girl. I feel that's why I'm like, there's nothing I, I hope that they caught all of that. Cuz there's nothing that beats just changing your lifestyle a little bit.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it's like longevity too because otherwise you're on it forever. And yeah, all that stuff, it's inspiring. I guess that's again, I never want to make it like all about just your weight because like, you know, that's like whatever. But it's something that I talk about way too much and I need to not because it is like frustrating.
Lizzo
But they make us obsessed with it though. I know they, they bombard us with, with like, you're not small enough. You're not small enough every single day. It's like from like looking at magazines, from like going to stores and things not fitting us to like this is the fat jokes. Like we are truly bullied into being obsessed with our weight. Like especially like I know all humans but like women particularly, like no matter how And I have known women who are larger bodied and smaller bodied. We all have the same obsession. Yeah. Yeah. And it's toxic. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Anyway, yeah, no, I, I thank you for that because I was just like, it's been a struggle and he's very against it.
Lizzo
But I'm like, it's okay. I'm that friend that you can talk about your man over and over and over. It doesn't matter. You know that girl. You can't talk about him anymore. No, talk about him to me.
Trisha Paytas
Keep going. Okay, I appreciate that.
Lizzo
I'll listen.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, and it must just be frustrating too when you do it like, you know, a natural way. And then everyone, because of Oz, epic. Everyone's like, well she obviously did it because cuz every big person who was big is now skinny.
Lizzo
And you're like, well, you know what's so crazy? I, I take that as a compliment. Like I take the. Oh my God. It really.
Trisha Paytas
It's off. It's off.
Lizzo
Oh my God.
Trisha Paytas
I just got mine off the other yesterday cuz mine were like literally busting. They look good though. They look bomb.
Lizzo
Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, no, let me know if you need anything.
Lizzo
The OIC allegations, that's a compliment. It just means that I really did my big one. Yeah, you know, like the. Anything like that. Oh, you got something done to your face. I remember once somebody on my tick tock was like, what did you do to your face? And I was like, oh, period. My skincare routine is working.
Trisha Paytas
Oh right, because they think you have like the lift everyone's doing now.
Lizzo
I'm like, no, this is just my mama. That is.
Trisha Paytas
But that's so real. Because when you do look at yourself, I guess also makeup changes so much too. But like, yeah, when we're like younger, you look. We looked older, you know, Mine too. I always look. I'm like, oh my God. I look. But then I guess the good glam always helps to like a glam.
Lizzo
Oh, the great glam. Yeah, yeah. What?
Trisha Paytas
But you do have really good skin. Like you're even like your arms, everything.
Lizzo
But I'm like, this is so unnatural.
Trisha Paytas
Are you gonna release a skincare routine? Release skincare lime.
Lizzo
I've been asked that. I. I might threaten to do that.
Trisha Paytas
I feel like you should. I mean, because the yeti obviously is like, take it off. So would you partner with someone because you partner with. Is it Fabletics with the.
Lizzo
Yeah, yeah. I own Yitty, but we're a sister company, so it's Yitty, Fabletics and Fenty actually so savage. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. That's good company.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That's amazing. I mean, this is also because the size inclusivity. When they said, and thank you, by the way, you brought this outfit for me. When they said we're gonna be matching, I was like, I hope they have my size. That's always. My fear is always like, yeah, we have 6x. Oh, that's officially, I think the biggest. I think even skims only goes up to like 4x.
Lizzo
No, we're 6x, honey. And we design on larger mannequins.
Trisha Paytas
Oh.
Lizzo
A lot of brands, they'll design their clothes or their shapewear or whatever on a smaller mannequin and then they'll just scale up. So that's why sometime it doesn't fit the same or look the same when it's like the plus sizes. But we actually have larger bodied mannequins that we design on. So when you. What you see on the website is what you get at home.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that makes sense. Because that even this is like, it's very forgiving too. It's a 2x. Usually I'm a 3x in Fashion Nova. And then I wear this. I was like, oh, it's very like, yeah, size appropriate.
Lizzo
We run a little big, which is great. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Which is wonderful.
Lizzo
Yidi is like, we're actually such an incredible brand and we have like such an amazing product. I just think, like, once people. People get it. Yeah, they're hooked, but they have to get it. You know what I mean? So that's why I'm like, put some giddy on your.
Trisha Paytas
I love it. By the way, that's my daughter's favorite Tick tock. Obviously she doesn't know, but she saw the flowers that you were doing and she was cracking up. Like, we had it on replay. She could put it on again.
Lizzo
So funny.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, it was so cute, period. Are you coming up with this content or do you have someone come up with the content?
Lizzo
I've come up with with everything. You see, like, I rushed home that day because I was. I would film something else for, like, genius. And I was like, I have to do this right now. And I like, called my assistant. I was like, go to Walmart. Get those little flowers that sing.
Trisha Paytas
And I didn't even know they had. I didn't know where you'd buy those.
Lizzo
And then I just was like, racing the sun to get it done. I have, like a vision. I'm like, Raven Simone. Like, I'll be like. And it hits me and it's like, okay, I have to do it. And I have to execute it.
Trisha Paytas
That's. That's amazing. And so you like, just did like a shoe and then you're like, okay, well I have the glam on still. Let me just like, be cute, please.
Lizzo
Look, I. They get on my every day. They're like, oh, she getting in glam. What five things is she going to do today? Cuz it's like there's the thing, then there's the thing after the thing after thing. I'm like, I'm going to do a Y haul. I'm going to do a snippet of my new music. I'm going to do. Yeah. I'm going do a photo shoot. Yeah. Oh, I. I max out the glam.
Trisha Paytas
I start the glam. My glam usually starts at 6am and then I'm like, at 6pm My first finally take it off. Yeah. Because I. I do as much as I can. We do the podcast. But then I'm like, okay, if there's a sponsor thing, if there's this, because I do the three times a week. So I'm just like, okay, let me just get everything I can in one day.
Lizzo
Wait, is it 6:00am because of the babies?
Trisha Paytas
No, just to get stuff done.
Lizzo
Wow.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Huh. So you're like the I have as many hours in the day as Beyonce mentality.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yeah. Well, especially when I'm glam. I'm a whole different person once I don't have glam. Like, I don't want to film anything. I don't want to be single.
Lizzo
I have as many hours in the day as Trisha Paytas and I have to make it work to make it count.
Trisha Paytas
I never heard that before. The many hours and he has Beyonce. What is that?
Lizzo
Oh, just like, yes. And she. But she gets so much done, so it's like, okay, she got the same 24 hours as you. Like, get to work.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You think Beyonce in your Grammy speech?
Lizzo
I did.
Trisha Paytas
I love that. Was it just because, like, Houston girls are just like, yeah, I know there's like conspiracies why people think Beyonce, but.
Lizzo
At this point I just think we're all like, way too chronically online.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lizzo
I think we all need to go outside and just like breathe for a second. Because once that started happening, I was like, oh, we're cooked. Like, we believe anything. Like AI is going to scam the US I thanked her because she was right there. Okay. I have a personal thing. I skipped school in the fifth grade to watch Destiny's Child perform and I got to tell Michelle Williams that. That. And once I told Michelle, I said, you know what? And I got to tell her that years ago at, like, bonnaroo in, like, 2018 or 19 or something, and I was like, okay, my goal is to tell every member of Destiny's Child the story of how I skipped school in fifth grade. Then I got to tell Kelly. And I was like, oh, my God. I told Michelle and Kelly. Then on stage at the Grammys, I said, beyonce's right there. I could tell her the story. Oh, my gosh. So for me, that was, like, your moment. That was my moment to tell her the story.
Trisha Paytas
I love that. Okay, this next. That. So amazing. Like, when you meet someone, you're just like. Especially someone as big as her, and you're just like, man, they're so real. They're just like a human.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I love that so much.
Lizzo
It gives me faith in humanity, you know, when someone that incredible and talented and, like, awesome is, like, actually just, like, a real person with, like, a kind heart, I'm like, oh, but that's.
Trisha Paytas
What you give off. Honestly, like, truly. And I'm not just saying this, like, it really was just, like, I just breathed when he came in, because I was so nervous. I was like, okay, interview. As I had in my little notes, I was like, okay, I don't want to, like, ask her question. Yes. I, Like, I was so nervous. And then when he came in, I was like, okay, this means. You know what I mean? Which is so crazy, because also, you do give off that same Beyonce energy where it's just, like, almost, like, untouchable.
Lizzo
You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
What?
Lizzo
That's a Houston thing, baby.
Trisha Paytas
I guess that's where it's at.
Lizzo
Us Houston girls, we're a different breed, honey. Us Texas girl. Wait, where are you from?
Trisha Paytas
I'm from Illinois.
Lizzo
Oh, you're a Midwest girl.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yeah. You started out in Michigan.
Lizzo
I was born in Detroit.
Trisha Paytas
And then 10 years old, you moved to Houston. Yes.
Lizzo
Come on. Bibliography.
Trisha Paytas
And then you come back to the Midwest. Yeah. So what do you love? Like, you, like, Houston is your Hometown, not the U.S. i'm.
Lizzo
I'm a Houston girl. If you. If my accent, my, like, my friend group, everything, the way I dress, all of that was Houston. But, you know, I was born in Detroit, so my whole family's in Detroit. Like, cousins, you know, great uncles and aunties and grandmas and all that. They're all Detroit. So it's kind of been like, you know, you go back to Detroit for, like, family reunions or funerals or something like that. And then Houston is very like where I go to see all my best friends and their babies.
Trisha Paytas
How often do you go back?
Lizzo
I go. My answer actually would have been so up and it would have added to the conspiracy theory, so I'm not going to say it.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, conspiracy theory. What? Which one? There's so many about you now.
Lizzo
Hell yeah. Come on. That just means I'm really that, like there's. I'm a legend now.
Trisha Paytas
I'm. When I'm telling you, like, obviously I knew of you, but when I did the research, I was like, God, there's so many like, stories. Like which ones do you ask? Which ones do you not like? There's just so many.
Lizzo
Wow. I have lore. I love that.
Trisha Paytas
The lore is deep.
Lizzo
I. I was gonna say every time Beyonce has a concert.
Trisha Paytas
They'Re like, what's with her and Beyonce? You just love her. I love her.
Lizzo
But yeah, I am gonna go to Cowboy Carter and Houston. Yeah. And I'm gonna see the babies and see my best friends and turn up a little bit. June 27th is like a Houston holiday, trillist day of the year. So I'll be. I'll be down there for that.
Trisha Paytas
Love is a hotel though, in Houston.
Lizzo
It's hot as, but it's humid.
Trisha Paytas
But that makes it worse.
Lizzo
Yeah, exactly. I used to take like three showers a day. Sorry to the environment. I didn't know back then, but I used to take like three showers a day in Houston because it's like you wake up, you take your first shower, you go out, you come back home. Cuz as soon as you walk outside, your body starts to perspire like it just collects dew. You go home, you shower again, then you do whatever you want to do for the evening. You come back home after that and you shower.
Trisha Paytas
I shower so much.
Lizzo
I know.
Trisha Paytas
And I don't love to shower, so that just sounds horrible to me, girl. I know I do because I have to. But I hate showering.
Lizzo
Wait, what?

Lizzo
Do you like baths?
Trisha Paytas
No, wait, I, I do shower. I just.
Lizzo
If it was doing it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. But I've been.
Lizzo
So you get in, get out real quick.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, definitely that. But when I was just single, I was single most of my life till I was like 32. I never like had a boyfriend and so I would just like not shower for like five days. Like I would just never shower. But I still never left my house, so never saw people.
Lizzo
Were you depressed?
Trisha Paytas
Partially. Yeah. There was a five years. But even when I was like happy, I still be like, oh, showering is. I was just.
Lizzo
What is it about showering?
Trisha Paytas
Just the idea of it taking off the clothes, you know. Thank you over there. Yeah. She's like, yeah.
Lizzo
You agree?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, just taking off the clothes, being wet and drying and shaking, shaving. Like I feel like I have to shave every time I'm in the shower. Yeah.
Lizzo
Because that's. You were showering every two weeks.
Trisha Paytas
So you have to shave that part. It was bad. And the hair too. It's like my hair. Even if you wear, you know, your hair up, if you wear a bun, if you wear anything, like, it still gets wet right here on the nape of your neck. Like, everything about a cat. Yeah, cats.
Lizzo
I hate water.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, really?
Lizzo
Yeah. Have you ever tried to. I watch compilation videos of people trying to bathe their cats in the air. Will, like, leap off of the water into the sky.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, that's, that was me. But, you know, then I got married. I was like, I probably should shower more often. Yeah.
Lizzo
What about the babies? Do you.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, we bathe them every night.
Lizzo
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
They love it. They won't get out of a bath. Like, they love a bath. Yes.
Lizzo
You gotta make it fun for them.
Trisha Paytas
Yes, yes. Then I, and now I obviously shower for everybody around me.
Lizzo
But do you watch for everyone around you is crazy.
Trisha Paytas
But you enjoy the shower. You love a shower.
Lizzo
I mean, I, I, I mean, I don't even. It's like brushing your teeth. Like, it's just like, this is a part of the. I, I don't like being funky. Like, you saw me floss just now after eating. Like, I like to floss after eating. I don't like feeling funky and gunky. The only time I will let me get on, let me get on. Let me get on your level a little bit is when I'm really, really sick. S I C K. And I'm in the bed and it's been like a day of me just being, like, in the bed. Like, I can't move, I can't get out. And then that night, next day, like maybe day and a half after being sick for that long, I finally get the strength to get out of bed and I shower. That feeling. You don't love that feeling? No.
Trisha Paytas
You love the feeling of getting in the shower. I love, I was loving the feeling of just being in the bed and not having to shower. That feeling I like.
Lizzo
So that part where I'm just like, I'm just going to stay in this, like, like I do kind of see where you're coming from a little bit. But what I love more than that is that shower. I'm just like, oh, it just feels like you're just like running through like a. There was like commercials where it was like, yes, yes, those were those commercials.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Something like that.
Lizzo
Yeah. It's just a herbal essence commercial for me.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I will say, once I'm out of the shower, I love it. I'm always just like, oh, I feel like it's a cleansing. I feel like, oh, my God, I just got baptized. Like, it feels very great.
Lizzo
What's your shower routine? Is it tedious?
Trisha Paytas
It's. No. I'm in there, like, for, like, three minutes.
Lizzo
Okay. Because I rinse.
Trisha Paytas
I do dial soap with a wash. A washcloth person. This is a debate I have all the time with people.
Lizzo
Are you a washcloth person? You're not.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love a wash. You're a washcloth girl. Yes. But people. Thank God. Everyone on my podcast, everyone I know, they do their hands. People say, oh, washcloths. Like, oh, that's disgusting. What do you mean disgusting? Like, you washing with your hands like your butt cracked.
Lizzo
Crazy.
Trisha Paytas
That's crazy, right?
Lizzo
Put your fingers in your booty hole, and then you go eat a sandwich. That part. That's crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Lizzo
I have not one, not two, but three articles of clothing that I shower with. I don't even know if I want to call it, like. So I have a washcloth for. Specifically for the girl in the back door.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Too. Yes.
Lizzo
I have another washcloth for the rest of the body, and then I have a scrub rub for the exfoliation. Actually, sometimes four. If I want to wash my makeup off in the shower, I have a face. Like a magic eraser face.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I do hands for that, but I wash my.
Lizzo
I have a cloth. I use the magic eraser at the sink, too, though. So sometimes I wash my face at the sink. But if I wash my face in the shower, I have this magic eraser that just takes everything off. Oh, you got to get that.
Trisha Paytas
Is that the brand Magic eraser?
Lizzo
Yeah, I think it's called Magic eraser, right? Yeah. It gets that. The.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
Unsponsored.
Trisha Paytas
I need that.
Lizzo
Sponsor us.
Trisha Paytas
This whole thing is like, a sponsorship. Like, I need it.
Lizzo
Yeah, I have, like. I have a. I have three because, you know, I just like to feel, like, baby soft.
Trisha Paytas
Same. I love a washcloth. And, like, yeah, people are just like, that's not hygienic. What do you mean that's not hygienic?
Lizzo
How is that not hygienic?
Trisha Paytas
No, there's a whole debate on it. I talk. I ask people all the time.
Lizzo
I don't even. I can't even wrap my mind around what. Because they think the rag is dirty. How dirty are you if you think the rag is dirty?
Trisha Paytas
Gets in your crevices? It's like a. Yeah. I don't know. Get in there. Get that finger.
Lizzo
Put it through that Rag and get up in there. Roll it around. Get that out of there.
Trisha Paytas
Literally actually get it up in there.
Lizzo
Literally, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Do you do a bidet?
Lizzo
I do have a bidet.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
Oh, honey. You can go to Japan and not come back to America looking around at everybody crazy. Cuz like in Japan it's bidets everywhere. I used like a bidet in like, like a like nasty, like bar bathroom that was like real small with stickers and. And I was like, this is like just a grungy, nasty, like bar type bathroom. And it still had a bidet. I said, beep.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
So that's the standard in Japan. So when I came back from there, I was like, oh, give me bidet everything. Bidet all.
Trisha Paytas
So your house has a bidet?
Lizzo
A bedazzle bidet?
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Do you have a bedazzle one?
Lizzo
No, but that's be.
Trisha Paytas
That's so iconic. I need that. We have one bidet here. We're trying to get another one in our room. And I just started it because I was getting hemorrhoids. Tmi. But like I started doing and I was like, oh, it's kind of like game changer.
Lizzo
What's a hemorrhoid?
Trisha Paytas
You never had a hemorrhoid?
Lizzo
What's a hemorrhoid? No, I've been thinking about this lately. What is it?
Trisha Paytas
What? I'm so shook. I get hemorrhoids all the time. Oh my God. That's crazy.
Lizzo
It sounds like a hemorrhage kind of.
Trisha Paytas
It bleeds. It can be internal or external from your butthole. You never had one?
Lizzo
Well, I mean, if I did, I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
You would know.
Lizzo
I would know.
Trisha Paytas
They're painful. They're big. They're. Or if you push too hard in the bathroom, if you're constipated, you can get them.
Lizzo
Okay, so what's the sign that you have one? It's bleeding.
Trisha Paytas
Usually bleeding. Yeah.
Lizzo
Got you. So that's why you got the bidet, to clean it up out.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, because I can't wipe. Because then it just gets worse and worse.
Lizzo
You can't wipe it?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Especially if you're going number two. It's just. Yeah, I know. I hate talking about this stuff, but. Yeah, so to that way. Because wiping it irritates it more and it just gets like bigger.
Lizzo
So what is it actually? I mean, what is it?
Trisha Paytas
What is it?
Lizzo
Is it a growth?
Trisha Paytas
Does anyone here know? It's like a balloon. You push too hard. A blood vessel push too hard. It's like a.
Lizzo
It is a hemorrhage okay.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that.
Lizzo
Kind of.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Okay, thank you for. Thank you for clarifying. Cuz I can't. No, some. I mean cuz you look at Tik Tok and they're talking about it. I'm like, do I have one?
Trisha Paytas
No, but you would know especially like just peeing sometimes. It's just like the blood will come out. Girl, I have had so many this pregnancy because I'm always like constipated. Yeah.
Lizzo
Wait, you gotta take some pills for that to turn your poo into.
Trisha Paytas
They do, they do the Miralax, but. But your bidet might be helping you really, honestly.
Lizzo
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
I think that's the way I lost.
Lizzo
Like the feeling in my arms.
Trisha Paytas
Does it make you not talk about it?
Lizzo
I'm not, but like turns out I am.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
Okay, well that. I'm so sorry. I'm actually really sorry. That sounds crazy.
Trisha Paytas
I'm so happy for you that you've never, never. You just got a good system, I guess, going all around.
Lizzo
I. I poop easily. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That's good.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I sometimes struggle, but you know, know.
Lizzo
Have you ever gotten a colonic?
Trisha Paytas
What's that? A colonic is girlfriend.
Lizzo
It's where you go and they put a tube in your. And they shoot liquid like maybe like saline or water, like super clean pure water up your. Into your colon and it breaks up any like impacted or compact, loosens it and then they suck all the. Out of your ass and it just flushes down into this like machine and goes away and you just are a new person.
Trisha Paytas
What's the point of that?
Lizzo
To get that out your like to. It's for constipated people. If you're constipated. You would love.
Trisha Paytas
I would love.
Lizzo
And it's so relaxed. Like they play relaxing music and you just, you just put a little lube there and you just wait.
Trisha Paytas
Why did you do this if you don't have the trouble and you just.
Lizzo
Sit back on it and then you lean back and it's like warm water and you just lay back. And then if you get a good like tech, they can massage like your stuff and put like a little vibrating machine on you and they just like, they're like, come on poop, Come on poop. And it just flows out of you. I'll tell you why. So my. Well, I don't want to put nobody on blast in my family. People will get them and you know, I. So I knew they existed. So at one point in my life I was like, I need to get a colonic because Maybe I have an issue, because whatever. There was nothing but air bubbles inside of me. She was like, come on, poop. Come on, poop. No, poop was coming out of me. It was just air bubbles. So I was like, okay, maybe I'm impervious to colonics. Maybe I don't have a lot of. Maybe I just have air bubbles inside of me. There's no. So I. I've only had. Really. I went back to her the following week to be like, maybe there's something really wrong with me.
Trisha Paytas
Still.
Lizzo
No problem. Poop. And I'm like, okay, cool. I was pooping, but I just wasn't pooping as much as I'd like.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, so you just went for, like, a little checkup? I just went for a little checkup.
Lizzo
To make clean, and I didn't really need it.
Trisha Paytas
Meow. Healthy.
Lizzo
Recently, we found a colonic woman. She actually just disappeared. We don't know where she is, but I. She's okay. Probably.
Trisha Paytas
Sure. Probably. You don't know. She just disappeared.
Lizzo
That's hit the fair. I don't know where she is. We tried to find her. The business was gone.
Trisha Paytas
What? Oh, my God. God.
Lizzo
That being said, we went. You know, because I throw these things called rams. So it's like an ashram, but it's like, we turn up a little bit, but it's very holistic. And we go. We like. We stay in a nice house. We eat, like, soup, and we drink smoothies, and we eat salads, and we meditate, and we. We do sound baths. We go on hikes, and we get facials. We get colonics.
Trisha Paytas
So is that a must at those.
Lizzo
It's not a must. I throw it. And so this time, I was like, let's do something different. So I added that to the itinerary. And we. And, baby, we cleaned house. Honey. I sat on that little thing and I cleaned the house. I didn't even realize there was. There was in there. And I mean, literally.
Trisha Paytas
You saw it. You saw it. I got to see it.
Lizzo
I love seeing it.
Trisha Paytas
What? Oh, my God.
Lizzo
I know. I had all that in me.
Trisha Paytas
So you felt good after I was full of.
Lizzo
I did. I felt really good. I don't need them, but I just like feeling clear. I'm a. I'm. Oh. And this is another reason why I got a lot of backlash. Because, like, I'm a super holistic girl. Like, I like detoxing. I do. And I don't mean detoxing in the way, like, people will be like, I'm starting my detox but they're really trying to lose weight. I mean, like, I'm detoxing because I want to get the toxins out of my body. I do, like, heavy metal cleanses and things like that. Like, I take tinctures. Was there, like, drugs in that pizza? Because I just got, like, really.
Trisha Paytas
I think it's the lights.
Lizzo
A little hallucination.
Trisha Paytas
Fascinating. I feel the same way sometimes.
Lizzo
Wow, am I flying over Paris?
Trisha Paytas
I feel like that after. After some time in here.
Lizzo
But I'm, like, really, really holistic. So I love feeling, like, clean and clear and giving my system a break from all the. Put it through all of the caffeine and all of the, like, heavy, like, food that it has to digest and, like, you know, my booty, like, giving my booty a break. Like.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that it's coming out. Yeah.
Lizzo
Do you like to detox? Detox?
Trisha Paytas
I've never done it, no. I tried, like, the Master Cleanse one.
Lizzo
Time, but no, that's an eating disorder. See? But that's what I'm talking about. I'm like, oh. They're like, oh, lemon pepper, cayenne. Well, lemon, cayenne pepper and syrup.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, maple syrup, I think. Yeah.
Lizzo
I think, like, detoxing is a slippery slope. Any diet or anything like that, because it can turn into something toxic. But I think if you did something that was just like, I don't. I'm gonna do liquid in the morning. Or, like, in. Just soups. Like, really good soups. Like, you could do, like, a chicken and kale soup. You could do, like. You could do, like, a. A chicken and kale soup.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, I don't know any other soups. I never eat soup. I never really eat soup. So I don't know.
Lizzo
Yeah, you don't eat soup.
Trisha Paytas
No, I know. I am such a baby with food. I need to reprogram my mind somehow.
Lizzo
I.
Trisha Paytas
For.
Lizzo
So wait, what. What is on your list of things that you love?
Trisha Paytas
I'm so embarrassed. It's like chicken fingers. Fingers. Pizza and butter noodles. That's it.
Lizzo
You don't like kale, girl, You've never tried kale? Wait, I've never.
Trisha Paytas
And again, this is so embarrassing. My kids eat vegetables thanks to my husband, but I never eaten, like, broccoli or a vegetable or anything.
Lizzo
I was gonna ask you. You've never had broccoli?
Trisha Paytas
Never? I don't think I've had any green.
Lizzo
Not even broccoli and cheese?
Trisha Paytas
Nope.
Lizzo
Nope. Wait, I know.
Trisha Paytas
I'm, like, really, really bad with it.
Lizzo
Do you do like Caesar salads.
Trisha Paytas
Never had a salad.
Lizzo
What the hell?
Trisha Paytas
I know because I just, I hate the taste so much. I'm like, I'd rather just starve, you know, Like, I'd rather just not eat if that's.
Lizzo
Do you like avocado?
Trisha Paytas
I tried that in my first pregnancy. Maybe. I don't know.
Lizzo
Do you like guacamole?
Trisha Paytas
No. Yeah.
Lizzo
Wait, I'm so.
Trisha Paytas
I know, I know.
Lizzo
Do you like seafood?
Trisha Paytas
I like, I like a boil. Like a seafood boil.
Lizzo
You like crab legs?
Trisha Paytas
I like crab legs. Corn and like the potato and like everything with the rice.
Lizzo
Like, but you don't do like shrimp.
Trisha Paytas
Fried shrimp. We have, we have fried shrimp. Yeah.
Lizzo
So yeah, if it's deep fried.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. We do love like the Kroger ones that you can throw in the oven and okay. Yeah.
Lizzo
So this is fascinating.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. No, it's embarrassing. It really is.
Lizzo
Because it's like to eat better if you specifically you. Cuz now that I know a little bit more. If you just changed one, if you just stop eating fast food. I know, literally that's it.
Trisha Paytas
I know you can eat anything you.
Lizzo
Want, but if you just stopped eating fast food, it would change your life significantly.
Trisha Paytas
No, I don't think I've ever gone more than like a couple days without eating fast food. Yeah, I know. It would be crazy. I know. I need to. You might be inspiring me. And after seeing you like in person too, I was of kind, Kind of like, damn. Maybe.
Lizzo
And this ain't even like I want you to be smaller because I think you look beautiful. But I feel like you would feel of course, a difference.
Trisha Paytas
I know. That's why I thought I should do the GLP one. So I thought, well, maybe it rewires your brain to be like, I don't want this, don't do it. But then people like, you have to eat a lot of protein, which not my strong suit. So I was like, okay, okay.
Lizzo
Wait. Make chicken tenders at home.
Trisha Paytas
We used to, before kids, we used to like.
Lizzo
Oh yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Do the homemade.
Lizzo
I can't imagine that's probably.
Trisha Paytas
I like the, I like the idea of a chef. Cuz we do, we do spend a lot on ordering out and I spend too much money so I'd rather spend it on something like that, like something healthy and good.
Lizzo
Wow.
Trisha Paytas
That might be my goal after this. I, I, we've been talking about it and I think that might be my goal to have someone just help me prepare food.
Lizzo
Cuz but I also like if you're happy, do you. But I Also feel like you've expressed to me, and I have to make this very clear because I do not want the Internet being like, she was bullying, you know?
Trisha Paytas
No, no. Yeah.
Lizzo
But you, you've expressed to me your desires multiple times and I.
Trisha Paytas
Everyone knows. And the whole Internet knows. I want to be thin and I want to be healthier. Like, I. This has been no secret for just fast food.
Lizzo
You. And that's the secret. Like, you can eat whatever you want, especially, but if you cook it yourself, because we don't know what they're putting in our food. They're putting crazy in our food. Like, just like, like crazy amounts of extreme salts and sodiums. Like crazy milligrams of sodium that we don't even need. Crazy amounts of butter that we don't need. Even though I love butter and I put butter on. I. I fry hard boiled eggs and butter for breakfast.
Trisha Paytas
Really? It's so good and on a calorie deficit. It works.
Lizzo
Oh, yeah, it does. Because I'll do like, I'll do like, you know, two hard boiled eggs and I slice them in half and then I like fry up a tablespoon of butter and I throw them in there. I just. And then I put like a little, like, I sprinkle some like flaky smoked sea salt on there. Crack some pepper, a little hot sauce that right up.
Trisha Paytas
I love a hard boiled egg. That's one healthy thing I will eat. I love a hard boiled egg and a grapefruit. Like that was like my meal when I was like trying to lose it. Because I do love it.
Lizzo
But harbour egg will get you there.
Trisha Paytas
Really?
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, I gotta do more of that. We were doing that for a minute every night for dinner, but can you make me some hard boiled eggs? You maybe like three hard boys for dinner. Yeah.
Lizzo
Have you seen like that horrible egg diet? Everyone's going, going on vacation. We're here for it with K. Who turn a backseat into a courtroom drama over whose tablet is louder, whose charger is faster and why. Watching the same cartoon for the hundredth time as a human. Right? Yep. We totally have vehicles to handle that.
Trisha Paytas
Because whether it's a road trip or a business trip where your flight's delayed.
Lizzo

Lizzo
I know y' all farts is lethal. Cause if they do a, you know, seafood boil. But they do. But it's a horrible egg boil. So it's like just hard boiled eggs. But they do this seafood sauce and they'd just be that up and they eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're like, I lost 15 pounds on a hard boiler. I'm like, okay, 15 pounds of farts. Honestly, I would do it though.
Trisha Paytas
I would do it if that's what's needed.
Lizzo
That might be your ministry.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. You might be right. Do you remember YouTube? Do you watch YouTube like that? Are you like online? There was a girl who used to seafood boil. Her name is Be Loves light.
Lizzo
Oh, my God. Am I a human being? Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. That's very neat. With a beating heart.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
No, but.
Lizzo
But I'm. I've watched. I've been watching you eat for 10 years, which is crazy.
Trisha Paytas
You don't know. I don't eat vegetables. But.
Lizzo
Yeah, but like, I. I love mukbangs. Okay, so you watch, like, you don't mukbang vegetables. I don't think people.
Trisha Paytas
True. I used to tell people that, like, you don't see what I eat all the time, but that's what I was eating all the time. It's like, that's exactly what I've seen. Okay, so you've been watching the mukbang.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So you know, b. And she had that sauce and she would do the heart. Yeah.
Lizzo
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Her seafood was.
Lizzo
Did you try. Did you try her sauce?
Trisha Paytas
I loved it. It was on Amazon. I don't know if it still is, but it was so good.
Lizzo
I've never tried her sauce.
Trisha Paytas
O. It was so good. We did a mukbang together and met her in person and she was like, gave me that sauce and it was so, so good.
Lizzo
Oh, and was it really good in person? She made that look good. Oh, she made that the way she would just go, like, sucking on it with the red lip.
Trisha Paytas
That. A seafood boil Mukbang. Our next one.
Lizzo
That would be fun. It's very messy.
Trisha Paytas
It's very messy, but that's what you, like. Lay out the paper and I used to do them all the time. They're my favorite.
Lizzo
Honestly, if we did a monthly mukbang, I would. I would be happy.
Trisha Paytas
I would love.
Lizzo
You don't even do YouTube.
Trisha Paytas
And you're like, let's just do a Monday.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Together and eat.
Lizzo
Tap me in.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
Lizzo
Love the noodles. Do you do the noodles?
Trisha Paytas
The hot noodles.
Lizzo
We could talk all day.
Trisha Paytas
I know, I know. Sorry.
Lizzo
Moses took his headphones off. He's done with those.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, bye.
Lizzo
He's like, okay, you know what? Get out of my house.
Trisha Paytas
Also, the interview just took a crazy turn. People were like, this is not a Liz. You have Liz out here, and you're talking about farts.
Lizzo
All right, let's. We. Let's move on. Let's talk about. Let's talk. Talk about something. What's on the card?
Trisha Paytas
You got something? I do have a lot, and honestly, we didn't get to any because I had. I had pride stuff, and I had your new song and your rapper and, like, you know, your isolation meditation. There's so many things to cover.
Lizzo
You're a rapper.
Trisha Paytas
You're a rapper now?
Lizzo
I've been a rapper, but yes.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, really?
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You sing? I feel like you're.
Lizzo
I, I. I can do. I contain multitudes. I can do it all.
Trisha Paytas
All genres.
Lizzo
Here's the thing. All genres. Here's the thing about the. The rap thing. That's really funny. Truth Hurt is in the Guinness World Book of Records for being the longest number one solo female rap song.
Trisha Paytas
Wow. How did it get to the song? Wow.
Lizzo
I don't. It just exists. It just happened.
Trisha Paytas
Is it considered rap? I'm so bad with genres.
Lizzo
It is. It is considered rap.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I always think, like, Little Kim is rap, but, like, I mean, I guess.
Lizzo
That'S kind of got you, you know?
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I'm very bad with genres. I listen to Broadway and Donny Osmond, so I don't know.
Lizzo
Right. And then I feel like people. I think rap has evolved in such an interesting way where, like, a lot of rappers are melodic. So, like, the future will be like. And I'm like, oh, he. That's a beautiful melody. You know what I mean? Like, but. But he's a rapper. You know what I'm saying. So like, when I say, in a minute, I'm gonna need a sentimental man, a woman to pump me up, they're like, she's singing.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. To me, I was. Thought it was like, pop, but I guess that I am pop. Right. Because you're the Barbie song. And then. Yeah, that's confusing.
Lizzo
But rap is pop. Rap is what I do. Sing is what I do. But pop is the genre.
Trisha Paytas
Got it.
Lizzo
Like, does that make any sense?
Trisha Paytas
Pop, rap, maybe.
Lizzo
Is that strange? Is that weird?
Trisha Paytas
I don't. I can't follow, but I'm really bad musically. Like, you know.
Lizzo
Okay, but when you think of pop music, what do you think of?
Trisha Paytas
I think of. Of. I would say, like Britney Spears.
Lizzo
You think of people.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
You don't think of, like, what they're doing?
Trisha Paytas
No.
Lizzo
Right. So I think I'm a pop star who raps and sings.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. So maybe you're like the only one out there like that. Right. Because I don't know if there's another person like that.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
Pop star who raps. Like, probably not. Maybe Nikki.
Lizzo
I was gonna say Nikki.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I would think her popping.
Lizzo
I can't think Nikki's a pop star who raps and sings. For sure.
Trisha Paytas
There's not a lot out there. So. Yeah, yeah.
Lizzo
I'm not gonna say anything because I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. Don't come for me.
Lizzo
Don't give me. Don't come for me either. You know what, guys? There are so many. And you should list them. You let us know in the comments.
Trisha Paytas
Let us know who it is out there. I'm really bad, like, giving music, but.
Lizzo
I think, like, at think recently, I think I've just doubled down a little bit more with, like, really rapping, like, less melody. Just, like, going for it because I feel like it, but you know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I'm like, let me. I feel like it.
Lizzo
I. I feel like at my label and I've talked about this on my private page, I have a Lizzo irl and on Tik Tok.
Trisha Paytas
Or Instagram.
Lizzo
On Tik Tok and Instagram.
Trisha Paytas
Now do people know? Well, they're going to know now.
Lizzo
I have a small group of people shout out to my IRL. There's about 270k of us.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. That's pretty big.
Lizzo
Yeah, we're all just. It started at like 10k and now we're. I've let in a few people as of like yesterday, so. Welcome.
Trisha Paytas
You're proving people to join.
Lizzo
Yeah. But at My label, I was, like, encouraged to sing more, you know what I'm trying to say? So, like, I would do rap songs and they'd be like, sing. We like it when you sing. So I had a lot of, like, singing songs for a while, and they would be very successful. But I also just feel like right now I'm just kind of following my heart and what I want to do, and that's what it looks like and people love it.
Trisha Paytas
I feel like this era especially, like. Especially tick tock. Like, I just hear it so much. The like, latest one that's like, so viral is the, like, Lizzo, Call Me Lizzie.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And I've been seeing, like, that's like, everybody everywhere. Would that be considered? I guess rap, right?
Lizzo
That's rap as. Yeah, yeah, that's that. From the beat to my delivery, there's no melody. That's rap, in my opinion. But I'm still a pop star when I do it.
Trisha Paytas
Got it. Yeah. You're giving the cutesy girly pop. Did you write it? You write your own music?
Lizzo
Yeah, I write my own music. I write it.
Trisha Paytas
That those lyrics, too. I mean, it is. Everyone resonates with it because everyone is just like, they feel it, you know?
Lizzo
You know what's so crazy? Saying, I've been fat and I've been skinny. I would have never put that in one of my life, like, pop songs. I would have never said that. I would have been. I would have been afraid to offend people. And I think rapper Lizzy, because I got. I'm. Lizzo is the pop star. Lizzy is the rapper.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, that's so smart.
Lizzo
I mean, it's just. That's what the people are telling me because I was like, call me Lizzy. But, like, I feel like when I'm in that Lizzie mode, I'm just like, man, just say what you want to say.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love that.
Lizzo
Say what you want to say.
Trisha Paytas
Alter ego helps me. A little one.
Lizzo
A little baby one.
Trisha Paytas
Love it. And you giving Lizzie McGuire today, which I love. Like, I've been.
Lizzo
I've been warning.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
I've been warning people that I'm coming, I'm going, I'm coming for. It's not. Well, who plays her? Hillary Duff, right? Yeah, Hillary Duff. There's a video from, like, early 2000s of, like, Hillary Duff beefing with, like, half of the girls.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Lizzo
And I just watched that video, and everyone was like, the divas aren't like this anymore. Like, the girls aren't giving us this anymore. They're not giving us A drama. First of all, you couldn't handle. Handle the drama. If we really gave you the real tea and really acted how we really acted, y' all would have. Y' all will be so offended. Y' all be like, oh, my God, cancel her. She's so mean. She's a. Y' all wouldn't be able to handle Hillary Duff today. But I told the Internet, I said, I'm bringing that Hillary Duff energy. I'm bringing it.
Trisha Paytas
You are giving Hillary Duff for sure.
Lizzo
I'm giving Lizzie McGuire, yes.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, she is a queen. She's coming back with music, so you have someone to compete. Compete with. She's coming back, so I'm coming back.
Lizzo
I'm not beefing with the queen.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. Not her. Everyone else, but not Hillary.
Lizzo
I'm not beefing with the queen. I think it's more just like when you're a diva, it's just like you're just honest.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
You know what I mean? Like, you don't hold back.
Trisha Paytas
Are you scared to be canceled?
Lizzo
No. Yeah, I, I, I have no fear of cancellation.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
I used to have a big fear of cancellation because I never wanted to offend anyone that on that scale. I've been. I've gotten so much backlash, and I've been canceled so much for things that, like, like aren't real or true or didn't happen or were made up or were not. You know what I'm saying? I was like, okay, so that isn't real. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like being canceled doesn't really exist anymore, and I feel like a lot of people fake. I think a lot of people do a lot of things to get backlash on purpose. They rage bait and stuff so they can get more successful. If anything, canceling people helps their career. So, like, hey, guys, guys, let's put our attention in on positive things. I've always been like, can we reward positive behavior instead of rewarding, like, toxic negative behavior? And then y' all complain, you know? Why is everything so toxic? Why is everything so negative? Because you're giving it your attention. Give her attention to the people doing good in the world. Give your attention to the positive people in the world.
Trisha Paytas
I think we're at the ERA now because I will admit I was a little bit of a rage baiter back in the day. I was like, a troll. I am in a different place now, and I just thought people wouldn't find find me interesting if I wasn't being problematic. But that's heavy, I will say. And I'm thankful for like, second, third, fourth chances and like, forgiveness and stuff like that. Because I do think this is the most, like, popular, I guess you could say I've ever been. And it's really just like me being myself and trying to be like the real me, which is like, not that person, you know what I mean? I think I was just, I don't know, I was very jealous, unlike you. We were very opposite that way. Like, I was so jealous of everybody else. Like everybody doing something but me. And so I think that's where like a lot of it came from. And I thought, well, I have no, like, talent or something, so let me just be like, angry. So, yeah, when I see people rage right now, it's. It sucks. And they'll live with that forever. I've always tell people, like, it's not worth it. Like that money goes. You know what I mean? And you have that reputation for like so long.
Lizzo
But the best thing you can be is yourself. And it's also the hardest thing to be in this society, so. But once you choose to be yourself and you embrace yourself, myself, the whole world is going to embrace you back. And that's what I've learned. That's why I've always been myself. I was intentionally rage baiting too. All the nudes I would post to myself, all that naked, all the. When I would go outside in my little thong and I was, you know, in my bigger body, I knew it was gonna piss people off, but I did it anyways. You know what I mean? Like. Cause y' all. Yeah, I'm not gonna hide myself. Just be. To make you happy so. So I can be invisible, continue being invisible to you. You know what I mean? But like, I love that once you embrace yourself, the whole world is like, with you. They're on your side.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's such a different feeling. And I wish I would have known that like earlier. And it's. It's good like you say that kind of stuff too, because it does. I think we are in this, like, time now where, yeah, it works temporarily the rage bait, but also. Yeah, like I said, just ignore it. I mean, I was, I, I really do. When people like rage me, I'm like, oh God, it's like so hard to ignore it. But when you, you feed them.
Lizzo
You feed what? Yeah, I look at it too. I give it my attention too.
Trisha Paytas
Do you respect, respond to, rate like other people rage bait sometimes when they.
Lizzo
When they talk about me to get rage bait?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah. Well, I guess that part too. I Meant like, in the world, but also just in general.
Lizzo
No, I don't respond in general when I. I try to ignore the people who are like, really? When I see it's how. And when I see that, it's, like, super intentional. I'm like, that's kind of, like, embarrassing now. Like, people who, like, intentionally rage bait and you can see through it, and it's not, like, entertaining at all. It's just like, I don't like that. I just remember when you were like, this is the only one I'm gonna bring up. Cause I feel like it might be the safest one. Cause we've already talked about it when you were just like, I don't eat animals anymore. I'm a vegan.
Trisha Paytas
That one made people so mad too. I eat the skin. I just eat the skin off the KFC skin on the chicken. Can I tell you that might be one of the most problematic ones people hated me for? Yeah, yeah. Talking about, like, veganism and animalism. And my best friend is a vegan. She's, like, obsessed with being vegan.
Lizzo
And.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it's a slippery slope to talk about those things.
Lizzo
Oh, my God. I was really, really, really careful, I should say. I'm not afraid, but I was really, really careful about how I came out of the, the, The. The meat closet because I wanted to, like, be very, like, hey, I still think that veganism is a very healthy way of eating. And one day I aspire to be a raw vegan. Like, I want to. One day I want to grow my own vegetables, I want to have my own farm. That's the dream. But right now, what works for my body and what my body needs to have energy into and to function is animal protein. And I said. And that's, that's how I, I really feel. And I really mean it, because I know we're all here, we're all having our. Everyone's very sensitive.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
Lizzo
And I. I want to make sure, as someone with a high profile, that I communicate things very carefully. You know what I mean? Because it affects people. You don't think it does, but it does.
Trisha Paytas
And like you said at the beginning, everyone's body is so different. It's a responsible thing to say, too, because, like, it does or I do think, yeah. The people I know that are raw vegan, I mean, they look. They look amazing.
Lizzo
Some people thrive as raw vegans. Oh, God. I just don't have. I don't have it right now to be able to do it, but one day I will.
Trisha Paytas
You found what worked for your body and how you feel. Good.
Lizzo
I was eating a lot of fake meat, man. That good for you? I don't care. I don't care. That's not good.
Trisha Paytas
Morning. Oh, what, baby?
Lizzo
You eating spicy plastic?
Trisha Paytas
Well, I was on a vegan kick, and I was eating those morning nuggets, and I still love them. I love the morning stars.
Lizzo
But, yeah, listen, Morningstar was OG, though, because I. So maybe they weren't as plasticky. Morningstar was, like, the only vegetarian you could get back in the day.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I don't know.
Lizzo
I'm not.
Trisha Paytas
I'm not. I'm not a great at being vegan.
Lizzo
But anyways, neither am I. Clearly, I tried.
Trisha Paytas
Well, there's, like, so much where I want to. I don't even know where to go. I also want to, like, sing at some point with you. I guess that's a point. The genre. First of all, you are an amazing singer. I'm not, but I love singing so much. If there was a genre, talk about rapping and pop. Do you do country, musical theater, R and B? Like, is there another genre or a singer or, like, go to karaoke song or. As a little girl, you're like, this is the song. Ariel. Like, is there something that you. You're like, this is my jam.
Lizzo
This is my jam. I'm so scared of R and B because the technicality. You have to. Have to be able to like. I think about R and B singers. I think of Brandy. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like, oh, my God.
Lizzo
Yeah, the vocal bible just runs and tone. And I think of Jasmine Sullivan, and it's just like, I can't sing like them. So I don't think I would ever try to disrespect the genre of R and B.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, okay. So no, yeah, I got it.
Lizzo
So no Broadway, maybe. Because I have a really big voice. I got big voice. I have big vibrato. I think I could take a. I think I could take a show tune down.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, I love this. Broadway is my favorite genre of anything. Have you been. Have you done musical theater at all?
Lizzo
When I was younger, I was in, like, a off Broadway play of Bluefinger.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, wait, Rick. Is it a musical?
Lizzo
It's a musical.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God.
Lizzo
It was written by the lead singer of the Pixies about this, like, singer from Europe named Herman Brode who jumped off of a building. He was like a drug addict, but he was like a rock star.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Dark.
Lizzo
Sorry.
Trisha Paytas
New. Did you play?
Lizzo
I was chorus, so I was in the background. It was the 70s, so I had, like, this Afro wig, and I was just in the background.
Trisha Paytas
No way.
Lizzo
It was fun.
Trisha Paytas
You did a background part. That's what this was. I love that, baby.
Lizzo
This was back in the day. Oh, my God. I would never do that now. Just kidding. I'm a. I'm a team player. I actually do love singing in harmony, so if they wanted me to be a part of A Chorus Line, I.
Trisha Paytas
Would do it like the show. The Broadway show. Chorus or just a chorus line in a show?
Lizzo
I guess both.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I love. Is there any Broadway shows you've seen recently that you're, like, obsessed with, that you love? Would you want to be in one? Because Brandy was in Chicago.
Lizzo
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Although that is a role. Again, not just like Shade. Brandy's amazing, but they do put a lot of people in there who can't sing as well, which is the role that I'm gunning for. Because they do put people in there that, you know, like Lisa Rinna, you know, like a housewife will go in there.
Lizzo
Got you.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, Brandy was brilliant. She was, like, here in la. She was in New York. Obviously, she's like, a star. But.
Lizzo
Broadway shows I've seen. I was about to see Death Becomes her. I didn't get the chance to see.
Trisha Paytas
It, but you're talking about Destiny's Child. Michelle Williams is.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
I've heard. Yeah.
Lizzo
Oh, gotta watch that. I was like, that was rude.
Trisha Paytas
That was really. That was really.
Lizzo
She does say, good for her.
Trisha Paytas
You have to go see it. Oh, my. You have to be in that. That's, like, the it show right now, and it's so good.
Lizzo
Yeah, I gotta see it.
Trisha Paytas
It's amazing.
Lizzo
I'm trying to think of what Broadway show.
Trisha Paytas
Tony's.
Lizzo
It got robbed.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I don't think. I think. I don't think it won anything. Gypsy got robbed. I think. Who? Sunset Boulevard won a couple, but. Yeah. Oh, my God. You would be great in Sunset Boulevard, too.
Lizzo
I don't know what that is. What is that?
Trisha Paytas
It's the one. Nicole Serzinger is in it right now. It's really good. It's like a old one that Glenn Close was in and Patti LuPone, like, all those people were in. It's. The vocals on those are good. Because if you have, like, that big Little Shop of Horrors, you'd be a good Audrey.
Lizzo
Oh, I love that movie.
Trisha Paytas
Have you seen the play on Off Broadway?
Lizzo
I have not seen the play, but I love the movie that Feed Missy Moore. I would be the plan.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. That's an Iconic role to me over Audrey. I feel like it'd be such a good one.
Lizzo
Oh, suddenly Seymour. Wait a minute. Did Jinx Monsoon play Audrey? Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yes. Did you see it?
Lizzo
I would. No, I didn't, but I would if I was in it. I would want Jinx to be Audrey and I would be the Plant. Okay, well, that.
Trisha Paytas
But you don't see the Plant so much. I mean, you have the vocals.
Lizzo
Oh, you don't.
Trisha Paytas
Not on the one they have right now. The vocals would be like free. Ms. Seymour. I think he'd be so good.
Lizzo
Feed Ms. Seymour. Oh my God. You would do it? I would do it. Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
I would eat people, literally.
Lizzo
Cuz that's what the Plant does.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah. In the show.
Lizzo
Bad joke. Can I get a Q tip real quick?
Trisha Paytas
Sorry. We'll wrap it up.
Lizzo
I know my running and I don't want people to think. I don't want the coke allegations.
Trisha Paytas
It does happen. Yeah. Sometimes with the makeup too. Mine does that too. I'm like, all the time. Yeah. Here we are. So good.
Lizzo
Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
You still, like, look flawless. Cuz it gets. It gets hot in here too.
Lizzo
Oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
We have the air on, but I'm.
Lizzo
Always like, I have eternal primer water on. Oh my God. What? You haven't heard of Dream Labs?
Trisha Paytas
No.
Lizzo
Dream Labs. Eternal priming water. It's like this like liquid that you put on your face before you do your makeup. And your makeup doesn't move.
Trisha Paytas
Stop it.
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
What kind of skin do you have? Oily or.
Lizzo
I have normal. What kind of skin do you have?
Trisha Paytas
Oily. So I'm always like, scared of that stuff because I'm like, my skin's always.
Lizzo
It might, I mean, try it out.
Trisha Paytas
I'm gonna try so many things with you. Seriously. Like, watch me just get like, I'll like be losing like 60 pounds. I'll be like, lizzo, I'm telling you.
Lizzo
All you have to do, you just stop eating fast food. And not even. Because I'm trying to. Fat shame. I'm telling you, fast food got some weird there.
Trisha Paytas
Could you imagine? The headlines are like, lizzo, fat shame. Trisha. That'd be crazy.
Lizzo
No. Stranger things have happened, people.
Trisha Paytas
No, your headline, your headline. No matter matter what you say, it's like, actually, when I was watching like all the podcasts you did, it's like there was headline after headline from like so many things. Oh my God. You like, you. You kind of say just like normal things and people love to like, turn into a big thing, but can you.
Lizzo
Say that again, it's so weird for you.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, damn, it's so.
Lizzo
So that's why I've been. I have to be, like, really careful about, like, how I speak and who I talk to because, like, it gets so misconstrued coming from me. And now I get why, like, some of, like, the biggest stars in the world are just quiet.
Trisha Paytas
Because it's like, don't do podcasts or like, no, you get a little bit.
Lizzo
You know what I mean? And it's like. But I also am like, bring it on. Like, you know, you people can put words in my mouth based off of, like, a three second clip. Go watch it. Yeah, go watch it for yourself. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You need your own podcast because you're such, like, a yapper. And the stuff you say is actually so real. Like, all your stuff about the environment. I was like, we should so real. And that makes you. You. If you stop talking, then it'd be like everyone else. You know what I mean?
Lizzo
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
All right, song. We still have to find one more song because I love singing with my guests. I feel like you're always done. No, nobody really likes to sing with me. A.J. from the Backstreet Boys sang with me, Donny Osmond, and I think maybe I'll be able to get you.
Lizzo
Let's see. What song should we sing? What song do you know?
Trisha Paytas
Tell me, like, a song you love. Maybe I can try. I'm so bad.
Lizzo
It's so. You know, what's so crazy about favorite food? Favorite song? You know it when no one's asked you about it.
Trisha Paytas
Right, right, right.
Lizzo
I'm like, oh, yeah, I love this. I love to eat that. I love this song. And no one's like, when's your favorite song? It's like my brain opens up in every song that I've ever heard. Just. Just escapes out of the top.
Trisha Paytas
Really?
Lizzo
Because I'm trying to think, like, what do I know? I know so many. Yes, I know Little Mermaid, but I'm just like, how does it start?
Trisha Paytas
Which one? Which part? I know little.
Lizzo
Look at this stuff. Is this too high?
Trisha Paytas
Look at this stuff. I'm gonna be on any key.
Lizzo
Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything. Look at this stuff. Oh, trove treasures untold how many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around maybe just that we think, sure. She's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmos Aplenty I got whoseits and whatzits galore. You want thingamapobs? I got 20, but who cares? No big deal. I want more. I want to go oh, where the people are. I want to see.

Up where they walk up where they run up where they stay all day in the sun Wandering free Wish I could be part of the world what would I give if I could live beyond these waters?

That was beautiful.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. We love you guys. Thanks for watching. Thank you for singing me with me. You are amazing.

Lizzo
Thanks for having me.

A significant portion of the discussion centers on weight loss and body image.
