Physical

When people try to tell me this is just about bikini bodies,

I tell them what I hear from you,

women franchise owners from all over the country.

Congratulations, Tuscaloosa!

About how you're not afraid to walk to your car at night anymore.

- You don't need Mace... - About how you don't need to carry Mace

because you carry yourself with confidence.

Nobody is gonna mess with you. Am I right?

- - Strength in Numbers.

About how you stopped abusing your bodies

- with pills and restrictive dieting... - Let's do this thing!

...and started caring for them with movement and intuitive eating.

Congratulations, Tampa!

- About how owning your own business... - Trenton!

...gave you the economic freedom to leave an abusive relationship.

Tulsa!

The principle behind every Strength in Numbers franchise is female ownership.

Financial independence.

Strength.

Yeah! Strength in Numbers!

It's not just about building muscles.

It's about building community, going from following along to leading the charge,

teaching, sharing, growing, confidence,

courage, commitment,

becoming your own boss, taking charge of your own destiny.

Control.

Ma'am.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Would you mind turning that down, please?

Of course.

- -

Nothing.

It doesn't have to be big. Just one thing. Anything. As long as it's new.

Nope.

Okay. I'll go first then.

Um, today I learned that you can heal a cut with breast milk.

- I know, it's weird, right? -

But think about it, that your body can make something that's medicine and food.

Mm-mmm.

No? Okay, sweetie. Good night.

- Good night. - Love you.

- Love you. Good night. - Have a good sleep.

Mmm.

That smells great.

I'm a little rusty on the grill these days.

- But let's see what we have here. - Mmm.

Oh, not to toot my own horn, but that is perfectly cooked.

- Oh, delicious. Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Welcome home.

It's nice to be here with you.

- Mmm. - Mmm.

- That is good. I like that. - Mmm.

It was a gift from someone. Business acquaintance.

- Mmm. -

It's good to see you enjoying it.

One of the many pleasures you have brought into my life.

- Hmm. -

I'm sure Maya is happy to have you back.

Never quite as much as I imagine

when I'm sitting there at the Cincinnati Airport.

But I can't complain.

You know, she's gotten so close to Monica. Which is a good thing.

- You were missed. Believe me. - Mmm. Mmm.

- So, you were in Cincinnati this time? - Mmm.

Maybe Tulsa?

They all start to blend together.

It's a satisfying grind, but...

- It is a grind. - Mmm.

I wanna talk to the team about... ...changing things up,

starting to delegate some of the travel.

You don't wanna slow down now, do you?

When you're so close to the top of the mountain?

Maybe I have other mountains, you know?

Other priorities. Maya.

My work with the foundation. That's just getting started.

This is your peak earning time.

Just imagine all the good you can do later if you add to the coffers now.

I have to think of my health, my own ongoing recovery.

Mentally. Physically.

Of course.

You have to take care of yourself.

But...

...don't you use the foundation in part to help support your ex-husband?

Yes. Danny received one of our grants for his environmental work.

Which is part of our mission.

Of course, it's not the only thing we do.

I'm sorry.

The whole premise of ecology is flawed.

Stop man from destroying nature

- when nature itself... - But...

- ...is violent and destructive. -

What was that?

To think that some human can put a stop to that, is just...

You didn't hear that? It sounds like somebody's out there.

It's probably just the ocean breeze. I could have a look.

No, it's okay. I'm perfectly capable of taking a look myself.

Thank you. You sit. Enjoy.

You were right. There was nobody there.

Good morning, friends, enemies and everyone in between.

If you are up and alive and listening to the sound of my voice,

I bid you welcome.

We are FreeWaves,

San Diego's last bastion of radical progressive talk radio here at KSAY,

K-S-A-Y. I am Danny Rubin, your host.

And with me, as always, in our veritable Versailles of a studio,

my one and only, my friend, my comrade-in-arms,

uh, in many ways, the love of my life...

Jesus Christ, this gets longer every week.

Well, you get longer every week and...

Impossible. I've been 6'4" since the fifth grade.

- That cannot be the truth. - No. I couldn't fit on the school bus.

They had to saw off the whole front row for me. Yeah.

I bet they did. Everybody, that is Jerry Goldman.

Jerry, should we go ahead and, uh, give folks the, uh...

the dish on what we have for them in this week's show?

Per usual, I have no idea what we're doing.

Perfect. Even better.

So, away we go.

Today, we're gonna be getting into the sick,

- twisted origins of America's love affair... - Yeah.

...with fossil fuels and how it is poisoning our planet.

And we're also gonna be discussing some radical,

new ideas for renewable alternative fuels.

Cooking oil!

I mean, who would have thought cooking oil would save our asses.

We are gonna get there. We're gonna get there, Jer. Just gimme... gimme a second.

We're, uh... We're gonna play...

...an interview that we did with a...

a young woman who I've gotten to know very well

- over the past couple of years. - Yeah. Yeah.

And, uh, she's got me hooked on a, uh...

a new and forward-thinking way of how to power our cars and our lives.

We make fried chicken with it.

I mean... Tater Tots, french fries...

- I mean, how wild is that? - Jerry! Jerry!

It's just, I'm excited to be here, man. To do this with you.

Yeah. And we're gonna get into all that and more

after we take a minute to acknowledge our supporters.

- No. - Uh, the work that we do here at FreeWaves

is made possible by the generous support of The Strength...

The Strength... The Strength in Numbers... ...Foundation.

Uh, it is a non-profit group dedicated to supporting eff...

uh, supporting efforts to make the world healthier,

kinder and more just.

The whole team here at FreeWaves is grateful for their visionary support.

- What the fuck, man? - What the fuck with you?

- What is wrong with you? - We do it every week.

- We've got your ex-wife... - I'm introducing the show.

- ...like a fucking devil over our heads. - I'm introducing the show.

- Do you have any idea... - Five, six, seven, eight!

All right, get ready to roll it out.

And, uh, one. All the way.

Hit the walls. Hit the walls. Yeah! Six, seven, and... To your left.

Ooh! Sorry!

You having a little trouble back there?

I'll get it.

Well, it helps if you show up to class on time.

- Yes. -

Seven, eight. And, uh, one, two.

Give me a shimmy.

And shimmy. Here we go.

Let's take it from the top. One.

Do better. Push yourself harder. Yeah!

Look at you, showing up to my class without even a heads-up.

I had a light morning.

Hey, uh, you don't wanna go grab a coffee before we get the day going, do you?

Oh, my God. I wish. But I have... What do I have?

Oh, I have the lawyers at 10:00. The tax people at 11:00.

Oh, I was hoping we could find some... It doesn't matter.

It was silly. Just some time to talk without the whole team.

I would love nothing more. Let's schedule a meal.

We have a big milestone moment to celebrate.

As of this week,

Strength in Numbers officially has penetration in all 50 states.

And I just said penetration without cracking a smile.

- So, look, we're all growing. -

We thought we were earlier, but there were some copycat franchises

and trademark violators, but we handled those.

- So, okay, let's see. Dinner this week... - How did we handle them?

- What? - The copycat franchises?

Oh, the lawyers do it.

It's best not to get into the details.

Those guys can be effective.

Okay, so this dinner, is this just us or,

- like, a couples thing, or... - Oh, um...

Are you gonna tell me who you've been seeing?

You've been very elusive. Which you have every right to be.

It's nothing serious.

Oh, a little no-strings fun. Don't say with Danny.

- Don't say with Danny. - It's not with Danny.

Then I'm very happy for you.

- Oh. - Greta?

I don't like the idea of lawyers handling things.

I don't like how it feels.

What's the alternative?

I don't know. Letting them be.

They're stealing from you.

I stole too, early on.

I talk about discovering aerobics...

...like Columbus "discovered" America.
