The cast of the “cringiest” episode of "Date My Mom" has reunited nearly 20 years later, and they all agree on one thing -- despite their recently viral episode getting loads of social media love today, the episode would never fly in today’s climate.
TMZ's own Charlie Neff got the gang back together with Kasey Washburn and Heather Silva on "The TMZ Podcast" -- Heather felt she was weight-shamed by MTV after her 2006 episode aired, when cast member Nick Contes picked her in his search for love.
They agree that nowadays society's all about celebrating different body types and steering clear of mocking heavier folks ... adding the body-positivity shift can be seen more and more in mainstream ads -- so that episode would be a total no-go!
