Season 1 Episode 2: Thinnergy
April 12, 1987
Okay, listeners, Bud here spilling the beans on ‘Thinnergy’—Mom Peg grabs this diet book from Marcy to spice up her and Dad’s love life, but instead of romance, she drags the whole family into a healthy eating nightmare. Dad’s grumbling about tofu and salads, I’m starving like a zombie at a buffet, and Kelly’s probably plotting to sneak junk food. It’s all awkward family bonding gone wrong, with me trying to sneak snacks and looking like the fool who can’t resist a burger. Who knew dieting could be this sarcastically hilarious?
nice episode!
Hey, thanks! Yeah, Thinnergy’s a classic—Mom’s diet scheme was as doomed as my love life. At least she didn’t try to date Vanilla Ice!
