Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, it's joy.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the cutting room floor today breaking news. More Americans
on ozempik go blind.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, when you say more, it's not like a million, No,
it's nine.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I was waiting for this story to happen because so far,
all I've heard is good stuff about a zempic. I've
heard about the ezempic burb and that's about it.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
But everything elsempic face ee, big face. You lose so
much weight, but it all comes off your face as well,
and you look haggard. Another thing people are saying, I
know some people I know who, these people myself who've
decided to go back on, to go off a zempig
because you lose your appetite, you lose your sense of

(00:51):
fun around foods. You don't look forward to meals, you
don't look forward to having friends over. It changes that
part of your life. And if you if you like
socializing around food, it changes that for you.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
You missed your three piece feed.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
You weren't on a zempic though, me me, I know,
I just added, like you just said just then, I
missed being on you know. That's what I missed, is
that that's these people just for our readers.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Amanda is not.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
If I'm on apic, this is the worst ad for whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
This is a wonder drug.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
And there was a thing that as well reported that
it's good for your heart, it's reducing heart plaque and
stuff like that. But now this is news. Now this
story has come out. Several studies of link the shots
to conditions that cause inflammation and block the blood flow
to the eye, according causing severe and sometimes permanent visiting loss.

(01:45):
This lady was on a z empick and then she
found that one eye she lost the sight thereof.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And then when she went off, a ZPI came.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Then it came back, and then she went back on,
and then she lost the side in the other eye.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Would you rather be slim or blind?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I'd rather be slim, you know, no.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Would you choose? Would you give up your sight to
lose weight?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Not? Does anyone to make that?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
That's that's paramount.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's interesting though, one if you said to people, would
you lose your little finger to be slim? Where do
you draw the line?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I think I'd use my little finger, would you? Yeah? Well,
what the hell does the little finger do? Nothing? You know,
only when you drinking a cup of tea it sticks
out with.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
The yakaza that was for weight. Sorry, I'm not in
a gang. I just thought it to be sim.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
But what about the big four body tattoo? Mate? I
just like it. I'm into a Japanese thing at the moment.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well. As Epic also has been linked to bone loss.
The singer Avery Shares. Is that her name anyway?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
She?

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Maybe she just shared something or maybe Avery has shared
in a tearful, tearful confession is.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Her name Avery?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
What does she see?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Did you so you didn't think the name Avery Shares
was weird? Which you think name Avery is weird?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I thought it was Avery Shad.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I did too, because that's that's headlined here. But in
a tific confession, she has said that using a Zenpic
for a year, she's been diagnosed with osteoporosis, bone thinning
disease that increases risk of fractures. She's lost significant bone density,
leaving her bones fragile on week. These are the side
effects we're starting to hear about. These are minuscule. If

(03:29):
you're on a zepic, don't panic. Millions of people are
on it and these are only a short number. But
this is it's a new drug. Being used in this market,
and this is the stuff we're starting to see.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Some of the good old days of the forward pills.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, there were rumors, I don't know if they're true,
that the Ford pill was a tapeworm and it would
strip you of your of animal fats. How slimmy, But
you didn't know that it was actually a tapeworm.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
And a go and your gats.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
It was an article that in a paper today about
how this man lost twenty two kilos by eating with
chopsticks and a tiny teaspoon. This is the new thing
that they say that eating the biggest meal of the
day early in the morning and lighter meal at dinner.
But to use quote uncomfortable utensils, chopsticks, small plates, tiny cutlery,

(04:15):
eat with a chainsaw, eat with a Bengal tiger, make
it uncomfortable for yourself. Why don't you punish yourself for
being alive.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
History will show that Oriental people are thinner, and it's
only until they became westernized and we gave them the fork.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
They've put on the weight. Have you not noticed that?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well in Japan, for example, postwar, well the generation now,
the generation postwar was like a foot taller than their dads.
The men were and they were barrel chested. They were
bigger because that we'd introduce to their diet animal fats.
But and they started to get tunits because the animal
fats brought on cancers. Their traditional maybe seafood and salt

(04:58):
diet had issues of its own, but they weren't these
cancer things. But now you see Japanese tall, broad chested.
Their diet is now quite different and their bodies reflect that.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, bubble tea that's got a lot of sugar in it,
that's all.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
What about Starbucks drings masses and masses of sugar. People
drink them every day thinking that it's having a tea.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
When you used to look at Japanese people, you think
like little Japanese people and then you think big sumo.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
There was no in between.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Well, if you've seen Japanese rugby, they're massive. And if
you go to Japan, you know, my sons are very tall.
I was Japan with them over Christmas, and my sons,
both of them are very tall, big heads of curly hair.
I assumed I'll be able to pick them out in
the crowd anywhere. No, no, no, A lot of Japanese
people are tall.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Because they're in a lot of bars as well, and
they have mums.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Lying in there, lying in the gutter at the times.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's it for today, come back tomorrowle More, Jonesy and
