Speaker 1 (00:00):
They talk better than these are the radio blog show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No, we're I mean, it's just we've lost it completely. Yeah,
what's funny is when I think it's the most off
the rails and probably the most unlistenable is when the
text and the social just goes crazy. So maybe we
should just focus on unlistenable content, Like just whatever I
think is really really awful is what we should do
the most of because it seems to really impress everyone. So,
I mean, but it's it's a tale so old as time. Paulina. Yes,
(00:35):
we'll think of something for weeks and then go on
the air with it, and everyone's like okay, and then
we'll talk about, you know, something completely random like hot
hot day, and and we'll hear about that for two weeks. Hey,
remember that time we talked about the food that Paulina
left with the Mexican restaurant. I'm like, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh yeah, I remember radio over here.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, no, I would I would never say that. I
would say it's a small market. But you know, for
some reason people listen to this, So God bless you,
you incredible people, all thirteen of you, dear blog. I
believe it or not. I try and be a sensitive human.
I'm actually a very sensitive human being. If you know me,
(01:15):
you know that, like behind this rough exterior is a sensitive,
delicate flower. Would you not agree? Yes? Why is only
one of you dreams?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Because G's known you the least. Oh my, Oh now
hold on a second. See now they're hating right now.
I'm a sensitive I'm a sensitive person. I try and
be thoughtful, and I try to, you know, go with
(01:47):
the trends of you know, how people can be sensitive
to certain topics, and some of it I think it's
kind of ridiculous and I'm not going to overcorrect.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm not woke or anything like that. But I did
notice that a friend of mine, as a coworker who
I follow on social media, who I do not know
very well, who has lost a female who has lost
a tremendous amount of weight and looks great now. She
looked great before, she looks great now. And I assume
(02:16):
that she meant to lose the weight. But this is
where I'm going with this is I was texting with
him last night, going so and so looks amazing. Not
that I would compliment her, but it was like I
didn't even know how to say it to him, because
like what if what if you compliment someone's weight loss
and it turns out they're sick or like they don't
they didn't mean to lose the weight, or they didn't
want to lose the weight, or they don't like that
(02:39):
used to be the ultimate compliment. Like if someone tells
me I look skinny, I am so happy about that, Yes,
because of like a from a context standpoint, because I
used to be a little bit overweight and then I
got the trainer and I worked hard and I've been
trying to be more conscious about it and I've lost
the weight. So if you say to me, Fred, you
look really skinny or skinnier, I'm elated. I'm so happy.
But I don't know that's a compliment you're allowed to
(03:01):
give people anymore. And the other thing is, and I
hate this about myself, but in my brain I immediately
go to how did she do it? Did she do
it quote unquote the hard way? Or did she go
get ozempic. That's another thing I know. You can never
say that. You can never you can never say to
anybody are you on ozempic? Because that implies, you know,
I don't know, that's a personal question. I think, But
(03:21):
at the same time, I found myself like tap dancing
around the compliment because I don't know if that's a
compliment for everybody anymore, you know what I mean? Like
I don't know, like if I walked up to her
and said, man, you look amazing. She I feel like,
what happened to people's brains now, is they go, well,
what I didn't look amazing before, you know, or whatever?
Like it's almost like somehow people are able to turn
(03:42):
things that were once considered nice into a diss Do
you ever want? I mean, I think I know the
people in this room well enough. Did you do like research?
Like did you see that? Was it a photo on
social media?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I was just going through social media and I don't
know this person very well, and I was like wow,
I mean it's almost transformational, right, And I'm like, wow,
she looks really great.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
That's what I texted on like research, Like I would
have went to her page and sent like seeing if
you know, if it was purpose, like if it was
on purpose like she's on a weight loss journey or
if she was sick or something like that, you know,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I guess I guess you got me thinking about like
what what social norms are now, and like what I
guess what you're allowed to say to some people you
can't say to other people. And not that I would
have said anything to her, I don't know her well enough,
but even in commenting to my friend, who I think
will pass it along, I even was like, I gotta
be thoughtful about this too, like, God forbid, she didn't
(04:33):
mean to lose the weight.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Right, I never thought of it that way because me, like,
I love the you're looking so good these days, snatched queen.
I mean, I'll take it all like, and I'm a
weight loss journey as well, so I'm, you know, trying
to get better, you know, healthier and all that, but
I also want to look and feel better. But like,
I wouldn't get offended if somebody said that to me.
But you're right, I think it depends because it's like
you don't know the backstory, like was their illness research.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
You gotta look at the comments and sometimes it's not
are people Are people all say the same thing like
you look great, amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And unfortunately too, Like Fred said, now everybody's thinking it's
the ozempic, especially if it's quick. If the weight loss
is quick, then people are assuming that I've been guilty
of that.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I assume it if it's kind of fast. Yeah, hey, Look,
if ozempic is option that you choose and it makes
you lose weight and you're healthier for it, and you're
doing it, you know, in a responsible way with the
doctor and everything else, especially if you're doing it along,
you know, with improving your lifestyle. I think it's amazing.
It's wonderful, especially for older people or people that you
know for whom a typical weight loss journey wouldn't work.
(05:34):
But I gotta admit I'm a little bitter because I
look at some of these and I've said this before.
I look at some of this stuff and I'm like, man,
I have I have been tortured by getting in the torturer,
the personal trainer for for eight months now to lose
some weight. And if I only know it about it,
ozempik wasn't a thing at the time. But maybe I
would have just done that, and then I wouldn't have
(05:55):
had to do all this work and I could I
could have just done it much faster. I mean so,
but it is That's the first thing that I go
through my mind now. When I see somebody who's gone
through like transformational weight loss, I'm like, well, did you
did you get on the treadmill or did you get
ozempiic or did you do both? Totally business, it's not
my business, but I think it's it's going through most
people's heads now. Anytime anybody loses weight, it's like ozempeic.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Oh yeah, so you might as well just take it.
Yeah yeah, come on, come on, friend, ye get a
group rate, let's go. But you know, I'm a doctor.
I don't know what I'm talking about. Like I realized
it's it's transformational for a lot of people. It's it's
like it's it's amusing tool. And I know also there
are people who really need it and can't get it
(06:39):
because there are also people using it just for weight loss.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Whatever works. I just hope that people are doing it
in addition to changing, you know whatever whatever sort of
habits got them to where they didn't want to be.
Because I wonder, you know, the quick fix in my life,
I feel like the quick fix never really is the fix,
you know what I mean, Like anytime there's a shortcut,
I I don't know, like there's usually a catch, like Yeah,
(07:03):
you're skinny, but you're gonna poop your pants uncontrollaby for
the rest of your life. You're going to do something like.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Press and it gets the side effects.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You Guess what happened to me is I get lazy
and be like, I don't do this treadmill anymore. Give
me the ozam pic. And I get the Ozam pic,
and then I'd grow like, you know, a second booty
hole or something that I couldn't control that I had
no control over. Two ugly booty holes. Hopefully second one
is hopefully if I start over with a new booty hole,
then that one, because everyone who's listening to this show
(07:30):
notes I think I have an ugly booty hole, and uh,
let's talk to Jay. See now, Jay, this is what
I'm talking about. Good morning, Jay, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
What you have to say? Hi, I had a gastric
bypass and I lost over two hundred pounds. Oh wow,
But I went through the gastric bypass for health reasons.
I went through. I was at one percent that had
life changing life threatnings problems. Several surgeries later to fix problems.
(08:03):
I would not do this again. And when people walk
up to me and they were like, oh, wow, you
look so good. Well, the way you looked before, the
way I looked before was healthier than that.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Stop talking to me.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
And then you get men that when I was two
hundred pounds and men would come to me or be
attracted to me or whatever, I could kind of port
them in the files they longed and keep for throwaway
throw back, and this body gets way more attention from
men that I would never pay attention to two hundred
pounds ago either.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Interesting, So you two hundred pounds ago, Jay, you would
have been like I wish I were two hundred pounds less,
and now you're two hundred pounds less and you're like.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Oh no, no, no, I never wanted to be this size.
Oh I lost like the maximum a mouth like a
loose yes, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
See now this is what I mean. Though, it's like
and I don't I don't buy into like I think
people are so sensitive. I mean, and we get so
many every day people are complaining about stuff where they're
like there was no intent for offense. Like every day
we get text or emails like oh I can't believe
you said this or that, and it's like, guys, that
was not intended to be offensive at all, So I
(09:15):
try not to buy too much into that. But I
really found myself last night thinking like, does this person
want my compliment or not? Or so I just keep
my mouth shut because again, for me, if you were
to comment on my social media and go, man, you
look great, I would hear that as thank you, I've
been working hard at it, whatever, But I know the context.
Now there might be other people who take that same
(09:35):
compliment and go, man, I'm sick. I don't want to
lose as much weight, or I lost too much, or
what you didn't think I looked good before, or I
just think like this, that's a topic that I don't
even know what to do with, you know what.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
And it's also I'm an African American woman, and sometimes
we get a difference because of that because with African
Americans usually the thinker. You know, if you've got some curves,
that's a good thing. I can be complimenting. Let's say
a white woman and say, oh, you got these right firsts,
she looks good, and she's offended because her perfect it's
a little bit smaller than I'm talking about. But I'm
(10:10):
thinking she's bagging great.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Yeah, I try not to comment on people's bodies unless
I know their specific weight loss journey and what they're
trying to do. Other than that, I'm not going to
say it. So Paulina said she's on a journey. If
I think she looks skinny, I'm going to tell her
because I know that's something that you're working towards. But
other than that, I'm not saying anything. I feel like, yeah, no,
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's that's safe too. Jay, Thank you, have a good day,
you too, Bye bye, Glad you called. Hang honest, yeah,
I see that. In the avalon just called we don't
have time for the call, but was working with somebody.
She commented on weight loss, but then it turned out
that she had some form of cancer. And it's like, oh, man,
(10:51):
you know so, I don't know. I just wish sometimes
people would take whatever comment you offer at face value,
because I don't know that like it happens all the time.
Like a lot of the comments that we get around here,
it's like it's very personal, like they heard something and
then from their personal perspective and their personal context, it
was offensive, even though the intent was never to be offensive.
(11:11):
But I think the moral of the story is I
want you all to call me skinny, but I don't know.
I don't know who to call skinny. So you're welcome
to say I'm skinny as much as you want to
even But thank you, luch, thank you so much. But
in general, I think that there are a lot of
people out there who I think look great and I
ain't gonna say it, damn board to you because I'm afraid. Nope,
(11:33):
I'm scared, and that's all there is to it. Thank you,
dear blog over
