Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhiez. I don't know which commercial it is, but
maybe you've seen this, and there's a number of commercials
like it, these commercials for the weight loss. Whether it's
the drugs, the shots, therapies, whatever, I don't know. I
don't need that in my life yet, but I am trending.
That is my weight loss plan right now, just to
(00:22):
get as big as I want, and then I'll just
take the shots.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Ye don't want to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, well, it's the only ones you know.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'll be saying about you. Then if you do that,
I'll be saying and ladies, he's single.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, no, no, I've got it all planned out. I'm
gonna get big and then I'll do one of these.
I'll do a live ad for the company, and then
you can follow my weight loss journey as I take
the shots every day. So I'm gonna lose weight and
I'll make money. This is a good plan, So I'm
(01:00):
trending in the way. First I have to gain a
bunch of weight. Yeah, so I'm I worked on that
this weekend too. Did anyone else have ribs for breakfast? Yesterday?
While watching the early coverage of the Open Championships, so
you see I am trending. But the one of the
commercials that got my attention was it's all these people.
(01:21):
When when you have people who do these commercials, it's
you got to get some bigger actors and actresses to
do this, and they never like have the kind of
people who are flatbed truck big. They never have the
people they're like, we just had to remove a section
of this person's roof so we could take a crane
(01:41):
and pull them out of their house. It's it's always
people who they're bigger people, certainly, But I wouldn't look
at some of these people and go, well, there's a
person who's just morbidly obese. Now I know that the
standard for morble more morble morbid obesity is a BMI
(02:03):
of whatever the heck, and and by that standard, most
of us are obese are close. But for purposes of
the commercial, we got people dance in, we got people hiking,
and then there was one lady I felt particularly bad
for because I look at her and she's a nice
middle aged woman and she's out living her life. In
(02:26):
this particular commercial, she is doing a zipline with her husband,
and it's like for adults who are morbidly obese. And
you got this smiling woman getting the gear on and
then she's going out there and she's doing ziplining and
all the rest of this stuff. And the first thing
I thought was, like, if she wants to lose weight,
(02:49):
the zipline is not strenuous activity. Basically, you just fall
off the platform and the zip line takes you across
to the other side. It's not hard. I mean, anyone
can zipline, Like, if she's really interested in losing weight,
maybe you know, go for a hike or something. But
the other thing I thought was, this woman really isn't
(03:12):
that big. And I wondered if they told her when
they shot the commercial what the commercial was for, because
at no point do you see her taking the injections
of the GLP ones or anything like that, I bet,
And she just she seems real happy and pleasant. She
seems like a really nice lady. And like I said,
(03:32):
not that fat, what you know nice, one of the
nicest things that you could say about someone, like, you
know what, you're not that fat. And so I wondered
if they told her, like, you know, we're filming a
commercial for this zipline company, because she seems really really sweet,
and then she's watching TV it's like for adults with
(03:54):
morbid obesity, and then you see her getting the harness on.
She's like, you've got to be kidding me. Did they
tell her what commercial they were doing this for? You know,
all these commercials, there's got to be someone who does
the commercial. You know, like the guys who I don't
(04:15):
know if it's because I get older and older or
they get younger and younger in these commercials, but it's
the same thing. It's like a guy out mowing his lawn.
It's like for a guys with erectile dysfunction, and this
guy's just out mowing his lawn, Like did they tell
him that that's what the commercial is gonna be, because
(04:35):
you know, he's sitting there watching football with his buddies.
That guy exists in life. He's sitting around watching football
with his buddies. Thought he was doing a commercial for
a weed whacker or something like that, and then here
it comes. It's like, hey, Dave, that's you. Oh yeah,
my lawnmower commercial and it's for guys with a rectile
dysfunction that he's got to move, he's got to find
(04:59):
new friends. And I don't mean like move across town.
He's got to move to a whole different hemisphere and
find all new friends and delete his social media accounts.
He's got to move, I.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Don't think so. Really, no, why would he have to?
He can say it's it's just a commercial. I remember
an episode of Big Bank, there you were what's your name?
Penny had to do commercial for a female product.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh yeah, didn't see that one. I haven't seen a
lot of Big Bang.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah, well she knew.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
She was doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah. If I'm him, I'm just telling him like his
buddies immediately start trashing him, like, first of all, I
made here's how much money I made for this ad.
And secondly, it all works just fine, and anyone who
wants to line up, I'll show you, you know, and
that should be the end of that conversation. But I
just saw that woman like every other commercial break, and
(05:56):
I felt bad for her, and I hope she's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think she's gonna be okay. Cash in the check.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The sad thing is is that you know it got
my attention, So there are probably other casting directors like
this looks like a Knight, because you'll see the same
people in commercials, right, yes, you see the same dad
walking with his family to a cell phone store, and
then then a couple of commercial brakes later, he's sitting
at a burger restaurant and then over here he's taken
out a loan and you're like, wow, that guy gets
(06:26):
a lot of commercial work. So this woman probably got
the eye of casting directors and they're like, hey, get us,
get us Molly. We want to talk to her. But
she's using the weight loss drugs and she looks like
a bibblehead and they're like, that's not what we wanted. Sorry,
and then she has to put the weight back on
so she can get more work. I feel so bad
this for this woman.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Mollie is the which one is she?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
She's the morbidly obese woman who's not by my standard
of morbid obesity. And I don't know that they told
her that she was in a commercial for adults who
are morbidly obese. She's like, I thought I looked pretty good.
I thought I looked pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I remember I had the big crush on the guy
that did the Dravago commercials.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh, that's right, you did.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't think I was alone either.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Really, that's the bearded guy. Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't
remember what I was about to say. Sorry, commercial works
the thing. I was just thinking, I got to take
advantage of talking to Lucy now because you're probably going
to be homesick for the next couple of days. Maybe
(07:34):
a little little bit. Yeah, I know, I know, I know,
I know, we'll see. Oh, I know. I was going
to say weight loss. Do you ever have those friends,
family members, co workers, whatever, who I mean, we're not
talking about people who are like dis you know, like
like really I was going to say disgustingly fat, because
(07:57):
by today's standard, no one's disgustingly fat. Right, You're just
you're killing it, girl, You're right.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Nobody is disgustingly fat. Said out loud.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
That guy is so brave. Yeah, I know. It's all
to be celebrated, and to say anything else is body shaming,
which is interesting because every commercial radio television is about
if you want to lose a bunch of weight. So
apparently some people are not satisfied with how they look
it even if everyone else is like, you're killing it,
You're doing great. But you get that person who maybe
(08:27):
they were a little bigger. Maybe they weren't that big,
but they lost a lot of weight through whatever means.
This isn't a commercial for weight loss drugs or diets
or anything like that. And you know, talk to your doctor.
So you get that person who used to be a
little bigger but then they lost a lot of weight
and they're super super skinny. But then you look at
(08:50):
them and go, wow, your head used to be in
proportion to your body, but now you look like a lollipop.
Your head looks so out of proportion, do you and
now skinny body?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, I've seen two celebrities like that, exactly what you're
talking You.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Look, you look like a bobblehead, and it's not a
good look for you. It does happen with celebrities. Are
we both thinking of Jonah Hill? No?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I didn't think he eat Jonah Hill.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He got a lot of work, is kind of the
the you know, the funny, funny fat guy, and then
he lost a whole bunch of weight and I think
he's had to put some of it back on because
no one wanted to like, you look kind of weird
now people don't want to see you know, healthy skinny.
I'm jogging up hills Jonah Hill, we want to see
hot dogs and uh so that happens sometimes, but in
(09:41):
real life, this happens to people where you see someone
you haven't seen him in a while, and and you're like,
you look terrible. You need to put weight back on you.
You look that day, you look thin, you look weird.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's never gonna happen again.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just random thoughts. I had a great time a few
weeks ago at my high school reunion, and you get
those people to come back for the reunion and people
you haven't seen them in a while, and then they
see him and everyone like I'll hear people all night
tell the same person over and over again, like wow,
you look great, you look great. I just have to
(10:26):
be the one to pull them aside and say, look,
I know everyone, I've heard it all night. Everyone's telling
you how great you look. But you know I'm I'm
your friend, and I'll shoot straight with you. You look terrible.
No one else will tell you.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Then I guess we're not friends.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
To me, you look awful. That's because I see you
every day. And that's when I have to wonder, do
these people know that I'm messing with them? I lose
a lot of friends.
