Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
CAFI AM six forty more stimulating talk, and from O
Kelly Tonight. If there's one thing I know about humans,
it's that we can't have nice things.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We just can't have nice things. And I think this
goes back to our childhood.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now without without our tech director Sam, who also happens
to be a licensed therapist and for some reason loves
to come in here.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I suppose this is, uh, this is the what do
you call this, like.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
A gig economy type thing that is better for your
own mental health than driving uber?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Absolutely yeah, maybe not any less dangerous, but it might
be better for your mental health.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
If there's one thing I know going back to our
childhood is that we build things up and then we
destroy them, especially little boys. Little boys love to destroy things.
And I don't know why that is, but it's true.
We get building and we're all excited and we're like, look,
we stacked the A on top of the B on
top of the sea, and now we get to.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Knock it over. We build a sand castle so that
we can kick it over.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Or we build it close to the water so that
when the tide comes in, we can watch it get
washed away.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
If we find a stick, that stick immediately becomes a
weapon and we start beating posts and trees. It's just
what we do. I don't know why little boys do it,
but we do. In fact, if you take a look
at most professional sports, there's some element of trying to
destroy things. Baseball, how hard can I hit this ball? Football?
How hard can I hit this dude? It's just what
(01:35):
we do. Basketball is non contact, and what do they
all do? They all pretend they've been contacted.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's all. It's the Flopperama is what happens.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And then hockey, which is basically like the violence of football,
the speed of any other sport, faster than any other
sport there is.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And then let's go ahead and put knives on their feet.
It's amazing. It's amazing. We love to things, which is
why whenever.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I see a story like this, I'm convinced it is
only a matter of time before somebody says, yeah, that's
not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Chipotle Dallas is trying something new.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Zipote lay, Zipote lay. So Chipotle is announcing it's now
partnering with Zipline. Zipline is a drone delivery company, and
they're going to start delivering orders by drone to certain customers.
We've already seen Amazon try this in various places. So
Chipotle is rolling this out in the failed Republic of Texas.
So the way it works is Zipotle or Zipline has
(02:36):
a fleet of quiet zero missions aircraft, in other words,
electric drones, and they make deliveries to customers. Their whole
deal is you push a button and in no time
you've got a.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Burrito in your hand.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Sounds great, except we're humans and we love to mess
things up. It will take about zero days before or
some teenager sees this going by and decides, Hey, Brady
braylen Cade, what's another gen Z alpha type name? Help
(03:12):
me out here?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Talent a new two guys named Talon. They spelled talent.
They both spelled talent differently. Neither one of them spelled
it like you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Would for a bird. Is that weird? Talen talent? One
was t a l i n the other one was
t a l y n, but not t a l owen. Talent.
Weirdos anyway, God, white people are a mess nowadays. They
really are.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know what's wrong with anyway. You're gonna get
these punks and they're gonna they're gonna see this, and
they're gonna go that's a free burrito. If I can
knock it out of the sky, it's going to happen.
I'm excited about the prospect of it. I just am
pessimistic about the the practicality of it. There is a
weight limit, and I think this could be problematic for Chipotle.
(04:02):
There's a weight limit right now five and a half pounds,
which is about half of a Chipotle burrito. It will
go up to eight pounds in time. They say that's
when they get the more advanced the electric drones. I suppose,
but somebody is going to ruin that, no doubt. And
maybe this one could be coming a little bit closer
(04:22):
to home a little sooner. Robo Mart Are you familiar
with robo Mart. It is an LA based company. They
have the new.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Robo Mart RM five awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's a level four autonomous vehicle. Level four autonomous means
it can drive itself. Yeah, okay, it's an autonomous vehicle,
can carry up the five hundred pounds it has ten
individual lockers in it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It looks like a little bus.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It almost looks like one of those electric bus that
was in Vegas last weekend and they've got electric like
electric taxis floating around and it's just like it looks
like a square box. It's just a box of four
wheels on it. That's what this looks like. Yeah, like
a locker with like a locker with wheels.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Exactly what it is. Yep, very good.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So it will deliver things to customers. And the whole
idea is that they can use the robots to operate
on demand delivery, similar to places like door dash or
uber eats. They see what is different is the cost
structure for customers. So instead of thank you for your
McDonald's order, your big mac meal's twelve dollars. Total by
the time I gets to your house is three hundred
(05:26):
and twenty one dollars and seventeen cents. Because we have
every fee in the world added on to our door
Dash or Uber eats. They say delivery fee on this
is three bucks. That's it, three dollars delivery fee. The
company helps it's going to be much more attractive option
than the multiple fees typically charged by the delivery apps.
I love the idea. Again, what's gonna happen when trying
(05:51):
to think of a name Samala Sam Sam, I'm trying
to just combine Samantha. No, but it's gonna be like
Samantha with a y Okay, yeah. What happens when when
they decide we're gonna see what's in this thing? I
just I have very little faith in humanity. I look
(06:12):
at it like this. And this is the argument that
we've been having for a while now. Okay, when it
came to Waymo, and the first was.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh no, Wayne Mo will never working to burn the
things in the street. And then they're all the fake
protests and San Francisco, you know, put on by you know,
ride share folks, all that kind of stuff, right, yeah, yeah,
but but it's not really something that's going to be
long term. Yes, you'll have folks who vandalize them, but
no one is vandalizing the little robots that are going
(06:43):
around downtown LA right now. Most for the most part,
some of them have been taged, some of them have
been knocked over, but people are still getting their orders
and there's those things are still all over downtown La.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But Weimo is a cap I mean it's not. It's
not delivering things.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
No, no, But but the robots I'm talking about, not Weymo.
Now I'm saying people talked about Waymo and then now
the little robots that go around downtown Land and are
delivering food. No one is vandalizing those and people aren't
robbing them stealing people's foods.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It's people are getting their males. All right, Well, just
wait until the recession hits. H Yeah, you just wait,
wait until times get tough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Look, I covered the protests, the immigration protests when they
started burning those waymos, and I saw the goofy kids
with their skateboards going out there and jumping on top
of the of the waymos and beating the hell out
of them with skateboards.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, I'm and lighting them on fire. I mean I
see it.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
They also burn police cars, right, So that's what I'm
saying that like, stupid kids do what stupid kids do.
But it's not sustainable. It's not something that's going to
be long lasting. These things, they'll be out there, and
yes there will probably be vandalism, just like there are
people standing in front of waymos or another but long
term no, because again, this is going to be the
way of the future, and eventually that stupidity will be
(07:55):
weeded out to the point where side, yeah, I leave
those things alone. It's boring attacking them now because get bored.
Didn't want to tell you. I hope you're right. I
see the logic of your I see the logic of
your of your point here. I can't agree with you,
but I can see how you got there, and I
hope you were right, my friend, I do. I hope
(08:16):
you're lack of humanity, you know what, I got to
think it about what what are other examples?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And I thought, okay, well, nobody was chopping down telephone
poles because well, well we need the telephone poles.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Nobody wants to cut those down.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Right, But then again, we also have had a number
of people that have stolen the copper out of radio
towers and cell towers and things like that because they
wanted the copper and they didn't care that it, you know,
knocked the radio station off or a TV station off,
or knocked the cell phone down. They just wanted the copper.
So I man, I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
You have more faith in humanity than I do. You're
a you're a much you're much more you know, positive
(08:49):
person than I am.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Just a futurist. I think that technology will win over humanity.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Seeing I think that humanity is always going to strive to,
you know, race to the I mean, look what happened
with the Cracker Barrel. Somebody changed their own logo and
America freaked out. We decided to boycott a restaurant we
weren't going to in the first place, which is why
they Yeah, they're like, wow, our sales are waiting, we
(09:17):
need to update our image.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And they do and everyone's like, how dare you? I'll
never not go back there again.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Wait that people are stupid And did you see what happened?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, yeah, Cracker Barrel cave This just in.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Cracker Barrel is going back to its old logo. The
company just made the announcedment minutes ago. The old logo
features the man and the barrel. The new logo, which
is now going away, is on the right.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The company released obviously radio you can't see.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
It Stateman, thanking its guests for sharing their opinions.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
All right, did you know the name of the guy
in the cracker Barrel? Logo before this whole controversy began.
Now was he the Cracker?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes? Yeah, you noticed there wasn't a black guy in
that picture. Okay, did you know? You know his name Mark?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I don't, but I will say that My understanding is
that the reason for that change from the simpler logo
is so it did fit on like little app buttons.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Oh that makes perfect sense to me. Yeah, because the
guy in the barrel and then the name. That's a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
I don't think it was any concession to woke or
any other asinine stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh it is. Oh yeah, I know because the Internet
told me. Oh I see, Okay, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh the Internet. By the way, his name is Herschel.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
If you didn't Hershel barrel, it might be barrel, mister
Beryl bl What if we come up with our own
logo whenever I'm in for MO, We'll just call it
Cracker Marrel. Oh I like that, that'll work. I've got
(10:55):
more on the food, glorious food. In fact, you're not
eating as much, which is great, it's destroying the economy.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
AM six forty I'm Chris Marrilyland from o Kelly More
stimulating talk Listen anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
UH Food, glorious food, good news. If you're like me,
a little uh beefy.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I have been.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I lost a bunch of weight at little background here.
I lost a bunch of what. I did it the
old fashioned way with a lot of dieting, and it
was terrible. And then I went to my provider and
I said, uh, what about the what about this sozimpic stuff?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Would that help?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And they went, yeah, if you're SOT, I said, I'd
still like to lose another fifteen twenty pounds.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I said, well, I think the Ocempic would help.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Since I started, I've now put on thirteen that was
over a year ago. So congratulations, I beat oz empic Woo.
So I've gone to UH. I just started the turs epetide.
That seems to be going better. This is the is
that uh? I think the zep bound is the turs
episode turns uptide. I take the compounded version and anyway,
(12:11):
I can feel the difference right after I take the injection.
But after a day or two it starts to weigh
off and then I get cravings, and as soon as
I eat something that has ultra processed, all of a sudden,
I just find myself going.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I gotta have more.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I gotta have more. I gotta have more, which is uh,
you know, not great for the scale. Well, good news.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Eli Lilly is now seeking as his novo neurodisc seeking
a daily pill of GLP ones.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
After Alison Smith gave birth to her son in twenty
twenty two, she weighed two hundred and forty five pounds.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, I bet she really appreciates having her weight thrown
out here on the news story.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I just really hit, you know, like a wall.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
If she went to doctor Michael Russo at Orange Coast
Medical Center and got a gastric sleeve.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Weight loss surgery was a tool that got me so far.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
My body just with not you know, it wasn't doing
the rest, and so I needed a little bit more help.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Doctor Russo then prescribed different injectable jailp one drugs to
get her to her desired weight. But using needles is
a hassle, So the idea of a pill is attractive
anything beside the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yay, it's not really that much of a hassle unless
you don't like needles, and then I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's always great. Eli Lily says.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
There a new weight loss pill, or forglepron, taking once
a day shows similar outcomes to injections. Participants with obesity
lost an average of twenty seven pounds, or about twelve
percent of their body weight after taking it for at
least seventy two weeks.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
To have the ability to offer someone a pill when
before all we have is injections, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I'm really excited for the future.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
But doctor Russo is concerned the typical side effects nausea,
abdominal fullness, bloating, in constipation, that's how you know it works,
might be worse with the pill.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
I think we're going to see more of that GI
related side effect profile, similar to what we saw with
previous oral sem and glue tide. Okay, but yeah, anything
that I could add to the armament is a bonus.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I'm all for it. I love it, and I hope
that the price comes down. That is one of the
most prohibitive things about the golp ones. All the studies
are showing that it is very effective unless you're like me,
and then you yeah, you beat osempic.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's very effective.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Blood pressure is coming down, heart related issues are coming
tot CV issues are coming down. All these things are
it's great. People are living longer. I don't know why
insurance companies aren't covering this because it is saving them money.
And the more people they can get on this drug,
the more money the insurance companies are going to save.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
And they could lower rates just getting me. Won't They'll
never lower rates, but they could make more money. I
love it. You know who doesn't love it?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Grocery stores Believe it or not, grocery stores don't love
the ozempic headline from Newsweek, Ozembic costing grocery stores billions.
They use of weight loss medications called the glucagen like
peptides as the glp ones have skyrocketed.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The full health effects of the.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Drug in the long term not been study, but we're
finding out more and more that it's good. They are
reportedly costing grocers six and a half billion dollars a
year because we're eating less, and they say as more
people go on it, they say eight point three percent
of Americans are planning to start the medications. If that happens,
the survey projects losses by as much as an additional
four and a half to ten point eight billion dollars
(15:35):
a year. Grocery stores could suffer because you're not eating
as much. You're not eating as much, and if that
also means that you're healthier, that's great. But that could
also mean for the healthcare industry that it ends up
having a negative effect on them. If they don't have
as many people to take care of, then they don't
have as many customers.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If they don't have as many customers could potentially cost
them money. In other words, the American economy needs you
to be fat. Yep, they need you to be fat.
Isn't that a weird catch twenty two that we've put
ourselves in because we are such an obese country and
we've marketed to obesity for so long, we have a
(16:15):
portion of our economy that is based on people supersizing everything.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
In their lives. Is that wild or what?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
When you think about it, it's that's kind of freakonomics
kind of things, like the American economy would suffer if
people got healthier?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Is that nutty? I mean the health there is someone.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I know, you know what I want to give it
some more time, because I am convinced that the economy
is also likely to come to the rescue. A poor
economy will actually make us fatter. So as we get thin,
we actually make the economy struggle. As the economy gets worse,
we will get fatter. And I'll tell you why that
is next.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI A.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Chris Marriland from OKELAKF. I am six forty more stimulating talk.
The economy is.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Making us fat. It's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I told you that ozempic is costing grocery stores billions.
As you lose weight, you're eating less. It's not just
grocery stores, it's also restaurants. We'll talk more about that
coming up after Mark's news flash. Here in about I
don't know, it's supposed to be five minutes, but let's
be honest, I never hit breaks sometime, so the inverse
(17:32):
is also somewhat true. But it's not because of ozempic. However,
I will tell you this, it ain't cheap. I'm on
the GLP ones. I've been on the GLP ones for
like a year. I lost a bunch of weight and
then I wanted to keep it off, and it's it's
helped me keep the weight off, although I did put
on here a little bit recently, mostly because I rediscovered Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
God, I love Cheetos, but it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
When the time comes that I have to try to
figure out what bills I'm going to pay. If we're
in a situation where where we see inflation take off,
I can tell you that this is the easiest one
for me to cut. It's it save myself hundreds of
dollars a month just like that. But I also know
I'm going to start eating again. It's just what I
do because I love processed foods. I absolutely love processed foods,
(18:21):
and processed foods are cheap. So not only are people
who are on the GLP one medications and spending you know,
hundreds of dollars a month on that, not only are
they going to come off the medications and start buying
crap at the grocery store again. Also, where are we
seeing prices going up. We're seeing it go up on
produce and beef right now. We're seeing these things rerupt.
So you go to the grocery store and you know
(18:42):
that the healthiest parts of the grocery store. When you
walk into into Ralphs or whatever. You know that you
go around the outside aisles, and the outside is always
where they have the freshest stuff. They've got the fresh
baked bread that's better for you than the bread with
all the preservatives that come in the bag you go to.
You know, you've got the vegetables, You've got the fruits.
Those are all on the outside, right. You've got the
fresh cut meats. You don't have the frozen meats. You
(19:04):
don't have the high preservative meats, all that other stuff
that's in the frozen ailes. You know where the good
foods are. It's all on the outside of the store.
You've been told that for years.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You already know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I'm not telling you anything new, but you also know
that you get more for your money when you're not
eating fresh food. That is the catch twenty two that
we are in right now, where when the economy is hurting,
the cost of the food, you should be eating rises faster,
which means that you go eat the junk food faster,
which means you get fat. As the economy starts to hurt,
(19:36):
you get fatter because we go to the processed foods,
they're less expensive. The high preservative foods less expensive. You've
got the you've got the processed foods, the partially ultra processed.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Varieties, like.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The frozen foods, like anything that's got the preservatives. Anything
that didn't come straight off the animal or the plant
is a processed food. And there are different levels of
processed foods. But any here's the definition, any raw agricultural
commodity that has been subject to procedures that alter the
food from its natural state. See, if it didn't comes
(20:13):
straight off the animal or straight off the plant, it's
process That also could include things like foods that's been crushed, chopped, diced, heated, frozen, cooked,
or steamed. So even when you go and get the
frozen the frozen vegetables, those are considered processed foods. There
are different levels of process and because you've heard people
talk about ultra processed foods, there's also minimally processed foods.
(20:37):
You might be able to go to your local grocery
store and they've already diced an onion for you, for instance.
That's not a big deal. But canned foods, those are processed.
You've got processed culinary ingredients. You've got process foods and
ultra processed foods. The more ultra processed foods you have,
the more likely you are to increase your risk for obesity,
type two diabetes, cancer, early death. The obesity epidemic and
(21:00):
large part is related to the processed foods.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
New studies have just come out that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Have compared the diets and the exercise habits of Americans
to other countries where the obesity problem isn't as great,
And what they found is we exercise just as much
as the other countries. Are normal every day walking from
the car to the office, or people who are working
jobs where they actually have to use their hands. They're
getting the same amount of exercises as other places. The
(21:25):
difference is we're eating crap food. That's what they found.
We have more ultra process foods than other countries, and
that creates caloric over consumption, they say, which means I
told you I love Cheetos, I eat those cheetos, I
meet in half that bag. I meet in half that
bag of Cheetahs, and when I get done, I gotta
have something else to eat. And I'll be the first
(21:46):
to tell you I love cheetah man. I love cheetahs.
But I also, I'll have an energy drink every day,
sugar free. But what am I getting instead of sugar? Sucralose?
That's not good for me either, I still do it.
The processed foods can change your hormones as well, which
affects your appetite regulation, which makes you want to eat more.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
And let's face it, the nutritional quality is crap. So
what does it do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
It increases your odds for all those different diseases I
told you obesity, type two, diabetes, cancer, and early death.
And as the economy starts to what do we do?
I'm not spending all that money on apples. I'm not
gonna spend all that money on spinach. I can go
get canned spinach for a whole lot less than I
(22:33):
can get the fresh spinach.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I can go get chicken nuggets for a lot less
than I can buy chicken breast from the butcher. I'll
go do chicken nuggets. Love me some nuggies too, delicious.
It's not good for us. And so as the economy
starts to become more and more uncertain, as the prices
rise on these fresh produces, on the meats like they
(22:58):
are with beef ear to the alternatives, which you are cheaper,
and they're killing us. The economy is making you fat.
But as you get fat, if the economy is still good,
you can always go to the glp ones, the ozempics,
which is also destroying another industry.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
You'll find out what that is next.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm Chris Marilyn from O Kelly can't if I am
six forty more stimulating talk listen anytime on demand the
iHeart Radio app. All Right, I told you that ozempic
is costing grocery stores billions of dollars. It is, and
we also know that if the economy starts to tank,
people are gonna stop taking ozepic, which means we're gonna
(23:44):
go back to the grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We're gonna buy more food, but we won't.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Be able to afford the food because the economy tank,
which means we're gonna eat ultra process food, which means
we're gonna get fat, which means as soon as the
economy gets better, we're all going back to ozempic, which
is bad for the restaurants. Restaurants are hosed, margins are
already narrow. Restaurants are in a tough spot right now
because their best clients are losing weight. Let me tell
(24:08):
you the secret to fast food is that we keep
coming back for more because it's ultra processed and we
love it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Oh, I'm with you. I love it. I love it too,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The ozempic boom headline could be bad news for restaurants
is more than half of GLP one users report cutting back.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
On dining out, and even when we do dine out,
we're not eating as much food.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Some restaurants are adapting and they're actually coming up with
ozempic meals from WUSA.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Ozempic isn't just changing people's appetites, it is changing menus
and challenging restaurants to a new report from Price waterhouse
Coopers says eight to ten percent of Americans are already on
GLP one weight loss drugs, and as many as thirty
five percent say they want to try them. Bloomberg Intelligence
found more than half of the user are eating out
(25:01):
less and when they do a Morgan Stanley report, But
were getting these reports in today?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, aren't we getting these reports. It's wacky.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
We are okay, okay, all right, hey we share our
good reports.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the girl off cameras like, yep, we do report news,
so reports are news.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
They all right, it's crazy. It's report day. Everybody a report. Okay,
they right, it is.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
This is these are facts, they state. Morgan Stanley Reports
states that most older or excuse me, most order much
smaller portions when they do go out. Now, restaurants nationwide
are rolling out light menus, smaller plates, even many cocktails,
catering to customers who simply don't want to eat like
they used to. Which I actually love this idea as
(25:49):
they have.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, oh god, it's when they told the TV
anchored it, why don't you just we just need you
to kind of vamp for about thirty seconds. We got
thirty seconds left before we can go to break. Why
don't you just just go ahead and fill that? Okay, No,
TV people can't improv.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
I love this idea. At least they have. You know,
it's a different option on the menu because often when
you go somewhere the portions are so big and you're like,
my goodness, who is this for now?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I also do not want a little tiny no portion.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
No, I don't want the big port, but I want
the small port. I want to with the GOLDI likes portion.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Right, I think I'm like getting like a whole right,
So in the middle or some options, I think that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You know, I'm gonna help you improve here. Okay, that
sounds good.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
It's just me, But I actually don't like it when
I see smaller portion options because for me, it's more
about the price. So if I like the price, I
want the full plate. I'll take what I don't eat home. Yeah,
I don't prefer the smaller option.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I wonder if they charge you more for the bigger plate. Huh,
I wonder if they do that.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah. God, TV people, So here's the delio on this. Uh.
Maybe Sam, you're a therapist, Maybe you can help me.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why is it my eyes are still bigger than my
stomach even when I'm on the GLP ones.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
What what is my compulsion to eat more food?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I always want to fill my plate, and then I
have this this compulsion that I have to eat it
or it's going to go to waste. I absolutely cannot
throw food away.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Is it comfort? It's comfort?
Speaker 8 (27:26):
There's something familiar, there's a like a sense of familiarity
when it comes to certain foods, and it gives us
a lot of warmth and makes us feel good.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
It just until we see the outcome.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
If it's especially if it's something that's you know, highly processed,
fast food stuff that's not necessarily healthy and yeah, and
a lot of those foods are specifically designed to get
you to crave them more and more and more.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So so true. Yeah, So you may have it.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
In your mind that you want to lose weight, but
you have a craving for something that's you know, over whelming,
overriding your logic.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
That happened to me when I went to bed last night.
I got off the air and I'm like, okay, I
don't need to eat. I'm fine, And I just I
laid there in bed and I was watching a little
bit of TV, and I was like, I want to eat,
all right, give it five minutes, see if this craving
goes away. And I waited and I was like, nope,
I'm still hungry. And so I got up and you
know what, I had Cheetos. God, I love Cheetos. I
(28:22):
don't know why I love Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So much.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
But I do not the flaming hot Cheetos, not the
line cheetah. I just want old fashioned Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Now, which one are you on? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Uh So I was on Ozempic and then I just
went to the tur Zeppetide.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, okay, just went to that this week.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I just changed after a year in Ozempic and it
really wasn't It wasn't helping me lose any weight, but
it was helping me maintain because I've always yo yoed,
you know, up and down, up and now, which is
what a yoyo does.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
You're welcome. I just crisplained that to you. I happy
to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So I just went to the tur Zeppetide, which has
got it attacks things in two different ways, and I
did notice the first injection I took of that that
seem to really curb my appetite. You know how it
is when when you're sick and you're just like, I
just don't feel like eating. Yeah, that's what it is.
Even when I'm bored, I don't feel like, oh, I
gotta go to the fridge, which is one of my
(29:15):
biggest issues. When I don't have something going on, If
I'm you know, I can't sit still or whatever. Then
I'm like, I'll just eat something. I'll just make some nachos.
I'll just always always do that. I did see this.
Have you ever done this? Because I find that the
fast food places, it seems like a regular meal. Now
we all have been conditioned to supersize it. A regular
(29:36):
meal is plenty. In fact, the kid's meal is probably enough.
And now we're finding out fifty percent of adults have
admitted to ordering kids meals. They say that the part
of it is because fast food has gotten stupid expensive,
but also finding out that adults are ordering the kids meals.
Ronner is saying because he wants the toys. But that's
(29:57):
not it. We're also eating kids meals because it's there's
enough food in there. I remember growing up, and maybe
it's just because I'm old, just an old man. I
remember the old days, the nineteen hundreds. Oh my goodness,
it was a simpler time, pre internets, and I remember
going to the fast food place and my parents would
(30:19):
get me cheeseburger, small fries, and a small drink. My
parents would have a cheeseburger, regular fries, regular drink. It
was it so we got at McDonald's, and now you've
got to have the big Mac.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They introduced the big Mac.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It was delicious, right, I love it, But now I
was like the big Mac, large fries, large drink.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh, but supersize it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now I'm getting a big Mac with extra big fries
and an extra big drink. Right, and then they offer
it like the double quarter pounder, the driple quarter pounder,
the quadriple quarter pounder, the double big Mac. Oh yeah,
go ahead and supersize that for me too. It used
to be that four chicken nuggets was enough adults, the
kids would get four, adults would get six, the nine piece,
(31:01):
and then they went twenty piece. That's for the whole family.
No twenty pieces for one teenage.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Boy, flat out. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
The truth is, we don't need as much food as
what we're actually ordering. And uh, what I find is
that when I'm ordering in line, I'm hungry and I
want as much food as possible.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
But if I order the kid's meal, by the time
I'm done, that's plenty.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Helly yeah, okay, okay, I'm here not with me on this,
huh no, no, no, no, I'm I wasn't and then
when you explained it, I was like. At first, I
was like I was about to be like, but then
as soon as you said I was like, oh, wait
a minute, he might be onto something. Because I am
hungry and I want the full meal.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yes, and then I get it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
But sometimes even when I get here and I'm starting eating,
like I forced myself to get it because it's like
stupid expensive. I don't want to waste the money, but
I always eating to the by the time I'm done,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I'm gonna vomit it. I didn't need all I didn't
need all this.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
But when I'm thinking like, yeah, if I would have
just got the kid's meal and eaten that, Chris, wow.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Dude, you're blowing my mind.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Even just don't supersize the next one, right, or just
get like the two Hamburger meal or get the value
menu or whatever and just see just try it once
or twice. But I have this problem where if I
get I used to order like four cheeseburgers, right, because
I'm like, four cheeseburgers that's better than a that's better
than two Big Macs, and it's much cheaper or whatever
it is, right, because listen, you don't get to be
I was almost three hundred thirty punds. You don't get
(32:24):
that big without working at it. And then but if
I've got four, I'm eating all four. I'm not letting
one get cold and go to waste and sit.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
In the fridge. Yeah yeah, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And if it's sitting in the bag next to me,
it's just calling my name. But if I don't have it,
I I don't need to eat it. So then I
find myself eating less. My wife turned me onto that trick.
I couldn't believe it. She's taking kids out for dinner
when they were little, and she'd get four kids meals
and then something for me, and I go, what are
you gonna eat?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
She goes your kid's meal. It's enough. It's a genius.
She is a genius.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I know, I know I could have done better. She
took one for the team so nobody else would have
to be.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
She's very good. She's very good for society, genuinely very good.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Chris merrill in from O'Kelly can't find AM six forty
relive everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (33:10):
App KSI and KOs T HD two Los Angeles, Orange
County More stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
CAFI AM six forty more stimulating talk, and from O
Kelly Tonight. If there's one thing I know about humans,
it's that we can't have nice things.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We just can't have nice things. And I think this
goes back to our childhood.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now without without our tech director Sam, who also happens
to be a licensed therapist and for some reason loves
to come in here.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I suppose this is, uh, this is the what do
you call this, like.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
A gig economy type thing that is better for your
own mental health than driving uber?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Absolutely yeah, maybe not any less dangerous, but it might
be better for your mental health.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
If there's one thing I know going back to our
childhood is that we build things up and then we
destroy them, especially little boys. Little boys love to destroy things.
And I don't know why that is, but it's true.
We get building and we're all excited and we're like, look,
we stacked the A on top of the B on
top of the sea, and now we get to.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Knock it over. We build a sand castle so that
we can kick it over.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Or we build it close to the water so that
when the tide comes in, we can watch it get
washed away.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
If we find a stick, that stick immediately becomes a
weapon and we start beating posts and trees. It's just
what we do. I don't know why little boys do it,
but we do. In fact, if you take a look
at most professional sports, there's some element of trying to
destroy things. Baseball, how hard can I hit this ball? Football?
How hard can I hit this dude? It's just what
(01:35):
we do. Basketball is non contact, and what do they
all do? They all pretend they've been contacted.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's all. It's the Flopperama is what happens.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And then hockey, which is basically like the violence of football,
the speed of any other sport, faster than any other
sport there is.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And then let's go ahead and put knives on their feet.
It's amazing. It's amazing. We love to things, which is
why whenever.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I see a story like this, I'm convinced it is
only a matter of time before somebody says, yeah, that's
not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Chipotle Dallas is trying something new.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Zipote lay, Zipote lay. So Chipotle is announcing it's now
partnering with Zipline. Zipline is a drone delivery company, and
they're going to start delivering orders by drone to certain customers.
We've already seen Amazon try this in various places. So
Chipotle is rolling this out in the failed Republic of Texas.
So the way it works is Zipotle or Zipline has
(02:36):
a fleet of quiet zero missions aircraft, in other words,
electric drones, and they make deliveries to customers. Their whole
deal is you push a button and in no time
you've got a.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Burrito in your hand.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Sounds great, except we're humans and we love to mess
things up. It will take about zero days before or
some teenager sees this going by and decides, Hey, Brady
braylen Cade, what's another gen Z alpha type name? Help
(03:12):
me out here?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Talent a new two guys named Talon. They spelled talent.
They both spelled talent differently. Neither one of them spelled
it like you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Would for a bird. Is that weird? Talen talent? One
was t a l i n the other one was
t a l y n, but not t a l owen. Talent.
Weirdos anyway, God, white people are a mess nowadays. They
really are.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know what's wrong with anyway. You're gonna get
these punks and they're gonna they're gonna see this, and
they're gonna go that's a free burrito. If I can
knock it out of the sky, it's going to happen.
I'm excited about the prospect of it. I just am
pessimistic about the the practicality of it. There is a
weight limit, and I think this could be problematic for Chipotle.
(04:02):
There's a weight limit right now five and a half pounds,
which is about half of a Chipotle burrito. It will
go up to eight pounds in time. They say that's
when they get the more advanced the electric drones. I suppose,
but somebody is going to ruin that, no doubt. And
maybe this one could be coming a little bit closer
(04:22):
to home a little sooner. Robo Mart Are you familiar
with robo Mart. It is an LA based company. They
have the new.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Robo Mart RM five awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's a level four autonomous vehicle. Level four autonomous means
it can drive itself. Yeah, okay, it's an autonomous vehicle,
can carry up the five hundred pounds it has ten
individual lockers in it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It looks like a little bus.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It almost looks like one of those electric bus that
was in Vegas last weekend and they've got electric like
electric taxis floating around and it's just like it looks
like a square box. It's just a box of four
wheels on it. That's what this looks like. Yeah, like
a locker with like a locker with wheels.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Exactly what it is. Yep, very good.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So it will deliver things to customers. And the whole
idea is that they can use the robots to operate
on demand delivery, similar to places like door dash or
uber eats. They see what is different is the cost
structure for customers. So instead of thank you for your
McDonald's order, your big mac meal's twelve dollars. Total by
the time I gets to your house is three hundred
(05:26):
and twenty one dollars and seventeen cents. Because we have
every fee in the world added on to our door
Dash or Uber eats. They say delivery fee on this
is three bucks. That's it, three dollars delivery fee. The
company helps it's going to be much more attractive option
than the multiple fees typically charged by the delivery apps.
I love the idea. Again, what's gonna happen when trying
(05:51):
to think of a name Samala Sam Sam, I'm trying
to just combine Samantha. No, but it's gonna be like
Samantha with a y Okay, yeah. What happens when when
they decide we're gonna see what's in this thing? I
just I have very little faith in humanity. I look
(06:12):
at it like this. And this is the argument that
we've been having for a while now. Okay, when it
came to Waymo, and the first was.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh no, Wayne Mo will never working to burn the
things in the street. And then they're all the fake
protests and San Francisco, you know, put on by you know,
ride share folks, all that kind of stuff, right, yeah, yeah,
but but it's not really something that's going to be
long term. Yes, you'll have folks who vandalize them, but
no one is vandalizing the little robots that are going
(06:43):
around downtown LA right now. Most for the most part,
some of them have been taged, some of them have
been knocked over, but people are still getting their orders
and there's those things are still all over downtown La.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But Weimo is a cap I mean it's not. It's
not delivering things.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
No, no, But but the robots I'm talking about, not Weymo.
Now I'm saying people talked about Waymo and then now
the little robots that go around downtown Land and are
delivering food. No one is vandalizing those and people aren't
robbing them stealing people's foods.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It's people are getting their males. All right, Well, just
wait until the recession hits. H Yeah, you just wait,
wait until times get tough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Look, I covered the protests, the immigration protests when they
started burning those waymos, and I saw the goofy kids
with their skateboards going out there and jumping on top
of the of the waymos and beating the hell out
of them with skateboards.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, I'm and lighting them on fire. I mean I
see it.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
They also burn police cars, right, So that's what I'm
saying that like, stupid kids do what stupid kids do.
But it's not sustainable. It's not something that's going to
be long lasting. These things, they'll be out there, and
yes there will probably be vandalism, just like there are
people standing in front of waymos or another but long
term no, because again, this is going to be the
way of the future, and eventually that stupidity will be
(07:55):
weeded out to the point where side, yeah, I leave
those things alone. It's boring attacking them now because get bored.
Didn't want to tell you. I hope you're right. I
see the logic of your I see the logic of
your of your point here. I can't agree with you,
but I can see how you got there, and I
hope you were right, my friend, I do. I hope
(08:16):
you're lack of humanity, you know what, I got to
think it about what what are other examples?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And I thought, okay, well, nobody was chopping down telephone
poles because well, well we need the telephone poles.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Nobody wants to cut those down.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Right, But then again, we also have had a number
of people that have stolen the copper out of radio
towers and cell towers and things like that because they
wanted the copper and they didn't care that it, you know,
knocked the radio station off or a TV station off,
or knocked the cell phone down. They just wanted the copper.
So I man, I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
You have more faith in humanity than I do. You're
a you're a much you're much more you know, positive
(08:49):
person than I am.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Just a futurist. I think that technology will win over humanity.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Seeing I think that humanity is always going to strive to,
you know, race to the I mean, look what happened
with the Cracker Barrel. Somebody changed their own logo and
America freaked out. We decided to boycott a restaurant we
weren't going to in the first place, which is why
they Yeah, they're like, wow, our sales are waiting, we
(09:17):
need to update our image.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And they do and everyone's like, how dare you? I'll
never not go back there again.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Wait that people are stupid And did you see what happened?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, yeah, Cracker Barrel cave This just in.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Cracker Barrel is going back to its old logo. The
company just made the announcedment minutes ago. The old logo
features the man and the barrel. The new logo, which
is now going away, is on the right.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The company released obviously radio you can't see.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
It Stateman, thanking its guests for sharing their opinions.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
All right, did you know the name of the guy
in the cracker Barrel? Logo before this whole controversy began.
Now was he the Cracker?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes? Yeah, you noticed there wasn't a black guy in
that picture. Okay, did you know? You know his name Mark?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I don't, but I will say that My understanding is
that the reason for that change from the simpler logo
is so it did fit on like little app buttons.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Oh that makes perfect sense to me. Yeah, because the
guy in the barrel and then the name. That's a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
I don't think it was any concession to woke or
any other asinine stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh it is. Oh yeah, I know because the Internet
told me. Oh I see, Okay, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh the Internet. By the way, his name is Herschel.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
If you didn't Hershel barrel, it might be barrel, mister
Beryl bl What if we come up with our own
logo whenever I'm in for MO, We'll just call it
Cracker Marrel. Oh I like that, that'll work. I've got
(10:55):
more on the food, glorious food. In fact, you're not
eating as much, which is great, it's destroying the economy.

episode turns uptide. I take the compounded version and anyway,
(12:11):
I can feel the difference right after I take the injection.
But after a day or two it starts to weigh
off and then I get cravings, and as soon as
I eat something that has ultra processed, all of a sudden,
I just find myself going.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I gotta have more.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I gotta have more. I gotta have more, which is uh,
you know, not great for the scale. Well, good news.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Eli Lilly is now seeking as his novo neurodisc seeking
a daily pill of GLP ones.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
After Alison Smith gave birth to her son in twenty
twenty two, she weighed two hundred and forty five pounds.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, I bet she really appreciates having her weight thrown
out here on the news story.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I just really hit, you know, like a wall.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
If she went to doctor Michael Russo at Orange Coast
Medical Center and got a gastric sleeve.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Weight loss surgery was a tool that got me so far.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
My body just with not you know, it wasn't doing
the rest, and so I needed a little bit more help.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Doctor Russo then prescribed different injectable jailp one drugs to
get her to her desired weight. But using needles is
a hassle, So the idea of a pill is attractive
anything beside the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yay, it's not really that much of a hassle unless
you don't like needles, and then I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's always great. Eli Lily says.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
There a new weight loss pill, or forglepron, taking once
a day shows similar outcomes to injections. Participants with obesity
lost an average of twenty seven pounds, or about twelve
percent of their body weight after taking it for at
least seventy two weeks.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
To have the ability to offer someone a pill when
before all we have is injections, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I'm really excited for the future.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
But doctor Russo is concerned the typical side effects nausea,
abdominal fullness, bloating, in constipation, that's how you know it works,
might be worse with the pill.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
I think we're going to see more of that GI
related side effect profile, similar to what we saw with
previous oral sem and glue tide. Okay, but yeah, anything
that I could add to the armament is a bonus.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I'm all for it. I love it, and I hope
that the price comes down. That is one of the
most prohibitive things about the golp ones. All the studies
are showing that it is very effective unless you're like me,
and then you yeah, you beat osempic.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's very effective.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Blood pressure is coming down, heart related issues are coming
tot CV issues are coming down. All these things are
it's great. People are living longer. I don't know why
insurance companies aren't covering this because it is saving them money.
And the more people they can get on this drug,
the more money the insurance companies are going to save.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
And they could lower rates just getting me. Won't They'll
never lower rates, but they could make more money. I
love it. You know who doesn't love it?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Grocery stores Believe it or not, grocery stores don't love
the ozempic headline from Newsweek, Ozembic costing grocery stores billions.
They use of weight loss medications called the glucagen like
peptides as the glp ones have skyrocketed.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The full health effects of the.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Drug in the long term not been study, but we're
finding out more and more that it's good. They are
reportedly costing grocers six and a half billion dollars a
year because we're eating less, and they say as more
people go on it, they say eight point three percent
of Americans are planning to start the medications. If that happens,
the survey projects losses by as much as an additional
four and a half to ten point eight billion dollars
(15:35):
a year. Grocery stores could suffer because you're not eating
as much. You're not eating as much, and if that
also means that you're healthier, that's great. But that could
also mean for the healthcare industry that it ends up
having a negative effect on them. If they don't have
as many people to take care of, then they don't
have as many customers.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If they don't have as many customers could potentially cost
them money. In other words, the American economy needs you
to be fat. Yep, they need you to be fat.
Isn't that a weird catch twenty two that we've put
ourselves in because we are such an obese country and
we've marketed to obesity for so long, we have a
(16:15):
portion of our economy that is based on people supersizing everything.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
In their lives. Is that wild or what?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
When you think about it, it's that's kind of freakonomics
kind of things, like the American economy would suffer if
people got healthier?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Is that nutty? I mean the health there is someone.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I know, you know what I want to give it
some more time, because I am convinced that the economy
is also likely to come to the rescue. A poor
economy will actually make us fatter. So as we get thin,
we actually make the economy struggle. As the economy gets worse,
we will get fatter. And I'll tell you why that
is next.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI A.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Chris Marriland from OKELAKF. I am six forty more stimulating talk.
The economy is.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Making us fat. It's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I told you that ozempic is costing grocery stores billions.
As you lose weight, you're eating less. It's not just
grocery stores, it's also restaurants. We'll talk more about that
coming up after Mark's news flash. Here in about I
don't know, it's supposed to be five minutes, but let's
be honest, I never hit breaks sometime, so the inverse
(17:32):
is also somewhat true. But it's not because of ozempic. However,
I will tell you this, it ain't cheap. I'm on
the GLP ones. I've been on the GLP ones for
like a year. I lost a bunch of weight and
then I wanted to keep it off, and it's it's
helped me keep the weight off, although I did put
on here a little bit recently, mostly because I rediscovered Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
God, I love Cheetos, but it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
When the time comes that I have to try to
figure out what bills I'm going to pay. If we're
in a situation where where we see inflation take off,
I can tell you that this is the easiest one
for me to cut. It's it save myself hundreds of
dollars a month just like that. But I also know
I'm going to start eating again. It's just what I
do because I love processed foods. I absolutely love processed foods,
(18:21):
and processed foods are cheap. So not only are people
who are on the GLP one medications and spending you know,
hundreds of dollars a month on that, not only are
they going to come off the medications and start buying
crap at the grocery store again. Also, where are we
seeing prices going up. We're seeing it go up on
produce and beef right now. We're seeing these things rerupt.
So you go to the grocery store and you know
(18:42):
that the healthiest parts of the grocery store. When you
walk into into Ralphs or whatever. You know that you
go around the outside aisles, and the outside is always
where they have the freshest stuff. They've got the fresh
baked bread that's better for you than the bread with
all the preservatives that come in the bag you go to.
You know, you've got the vegetables, You've got the fruits.
Those are all on the outside, right. You've got the
fresh cut meats. You don't have the frozen meats. You
(19:04):
don't have the high preservative meats, all that other stuff
that's in the frozen ailes. You know where the good
foods are. It's all on the outside of the store.
You've been told that for years.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You already know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I'm not telling you anything new, but you also know
that you get more for your money when you're not
eating fresh food. That is the catch twenty two that
we are in right now, where when the economy is hurting,
the cost of the food, you should be eating rises faster,
which means that you go eat the junk food faster,
which means you get fat. As the economy starts to hurt,
(19:36):
you get fatter because we go to the processed foods,
they're less expensive. The high preservative foods less expensive. You've
got the you've got the processed foods, the partially ultra processed.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Varieties, like.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The frozen foods, like anything that's got the preservatives. Anything
that didn't come straight off the animal or the plant
is a processed food. And there are different levels of
processed foods. But any here's the definition, any raw agricultural
commodity that has been subject to procedures that alter the
food from its natural state. See, if it didn't comes
(20:13):
straight off the animal or straight off the plant, it's
process That also could include things like foods that's been crushed, chopped, diced, heated, frozen, cooked,
or steamed. So even when you go and get the
frozen the frozen vegetables, those are considered processed foods. There
are different levels of process and because you've heard people
talk about ultra processed foods, there's also minimally processed foods.
(20:37):
You might be able to go to your local grocery
store and they've already diced an onion for you, for instance.
That's not a big deal. But canned foods, those are processed.
You've got processed culinary ingredients. You've got process foods and
ultra processed foods. The more ultra processed foods you have,
the more likely you are to increase your risk for obesity,
type two diabetes, cancer, early death. The obesity epidemic and
(21:00):
large part is related to the processed foods.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
New studies have just come out that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Have compared the diets and the exercise habits of Americans
to other countries where the obesity problem isn't as great,
And what they found is we exercise just as much
as the other countries. Are normal every day walking from
the car to the office, or people who are working
jobs where they actually have to use their hands. They're
getting the same amount of exercises as other places. The
(21:25):
difference is we're eating crap food. That's what they found.
We have more ultra process foods than other countries, and
that creates caloric over consumption, they say, which means I
told you I love Cheetos, I eat those cheetos, I
meet in half that bag. I meet in half that
bag of Cheetahs, and when I get done, I gotta
have something else to eat. And I'll be the first
(21:46):
to tell you I love cheetah man. I love cheetahs.
But I also, I'll have an energy drink every day,
sugar free. But what am I getting instead of sugar? Sucralose?
That's not good for me either, I still do it.
The processed foods can change your hormones as well, which
affects your appetite regulation, which makes you want to eat more.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
And let's face it, the nutritional quality is crap. So
what does it do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
It increases your odds for all those different diseases I
told you obesity, type two, diabetes, cancer, and early death.
And as the economy starts to what do we do?
I'm not spending all that money on apples. I'm not
gonna spend all that money on spinach. I can go
get canned spinach for a whole lot less than I
(22:33):
can get the fresh spinach.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I can go get chicken nuggets for a lot less
than I can buy chicken breast from the butcher. I'll
go do chicken nuggets. Love me some nuggies too, delicious.
It's not good for us. And so as the economy
starts to become more and more uncertain, as the prices
rise on these fresh produces, on the meats like they
(22:58):
are with beef ear to the alternatives, which you are cheaper,
and they're killing us. The economy is making you fat.
But as you get fat, if the economy is still good,
you can always go to the glp ones, the ozempics,
which is also destroying another industry.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
You'll find out what that is next.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm Chris Marilyn from O Kelly can't if I am
six forty more stimulating talk listen anytime on demand the
iHeart Radio app. All Right, I told you that ozempic
is costing grocery stores billions of dollars. It is, and
we also know that if the economy starts to tank,
people are gonna stop taking ozepic, which means we're gonna
(23:44):
go back to the grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We're gonna buy more food, but we won't.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Be able to afford the food because the economy tank,
which means we're gonna eat ultra process food, which means
we're gonna get fat, which means as soon as the
economy gets better, we're all going back to ozempic, which
is bad for the restaurants. Restaurants are hosed, margins are
already narrow. Restaurants are in a tough spot right now
because their best clients are losing weight. Let me tell
(24:08):
you the secret to fast food is that we keep
coming back for more because it's ultra processed and we
love it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Oh, I'm with you. I love it. I love it too,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The ozempic boom headline could be bad news for restaurants
is more than half of GLP one users report cutting back.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
On dining out, and even when we do dine out,
we're not eating as much food.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Some restaurants are adapting and they're actually coming up with
ozempic meals from WUSA.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Ozempic isn't just changing people's appetites, it is changing menus
and challenging restaurants to a new report from Price waterhouse
Coopers says eight to ten percent of Americans are already on
GLP one weight loss drugs, and as many as thirty
five percent say they want to try them. Bloomberg Intelligence
found more than half of the user are eating out
(25:01):
less and when they do a Morgan Stanley report, But
were getting these reports in today?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, aren't we getting these reports. It's wacky.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
We are okay, okay, all right, hey we share our
good reports.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the girl off cameras like, yep, we do report news,
so reports are news.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
They all right, it's crazy. It's report day. Everybody a report. Okay,
they right, it is.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
This is these are facts, they state. Morgan Stanley Reports
states that most older or excuse me, most order much
smaller portions when they do go out. Now, restaurants nationwide
are rolling out light menus, smaller plates, even many cocktails,
catering to customers who simply don't want to eat like
they used to. Which I actually love this idea as
(25:49):
they have.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, oh god, it's when they told the TV
anchored it, why don't you just we just need you
to kind of vamp for about thirty seconds. We got
thirty seconds left before we can go to break. Why
don't you just just go ahead and fill that? Okay, No,
TV people can't improv.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
I love this idea. At least they have. You know,
it's a different option on the menu because often when
you go somewhere the portions are so big and you're like,
my goodness, who is this for now?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I also do not want a little tiny no portion.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
No, I don't want the big port, but I want
the small port. I want to with the GOLDI likes portion.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Right, I think I'm like getting like a whole right,
So in the middle or some options, I think that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You know, I'm gonna help you improve here. Okay, that
sounds good.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
It's just me, But I actually don't like it when
I see smaller portion options because for me, it's more
about the price. So if I like the price, I
want the full plate. I'll take what I don't eat home. Yeah,
I don't prefer the smaller option.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I wonder if they charge you more for the bigger plate. Huh,
I wonder if they do that.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah. God, TV people, So here's the delio on this. Uh.
Maybe Sam, you're a therapist, Maybe you can help me.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why is it my eyes are still bigger than my
stomach even when I'm on the GLP ones.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
What what is my compulsion to eat more food?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I always want to fill my plate, and then I
have this this compulsion that I have to eat it
or it's going to go to waste. I absolutely cannot
throw food away.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Is it comfort? It's comfort?
Speaker 8 (27:26):
There's something familiar, there's a like a sense of familiarity
when it comes to certain foods, and it gives us
a lot of warmth and makes us feel good.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
It just until we see the outcome.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
If it's especially if it's something that's you know, highly processed,
fast food stuff that's not necessarily healthy and yeah, and
a lot of those foods are specifically designed to get
you to crave them more and more and more.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So so true. Yeah, So you may have it.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
In your mind that you want to lose weight, but
you have a craving for something that's you know, over whelming,
overriding your logic.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
That happened to me when I went to bed last night.
I got off the air and I'm like, okay, I
don't need to eat. I'm fine, And I just I
laid there in bed and I was watching a little
bit of TV, and I was like, I want to eat,
all right, give it five minutes, see if this craving
goes away. And I waited and I was like, nope,
I'm still hungry. And so I got up and you
know what, I had Cheetos. God, I love Cheetos. I
(28:22):
don't know why I love Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So much.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
But I do not the flaming hot Cheetos, not the
line cheetah. I just want old fashioned Cheetos.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Now, which one are you on? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Uh So I was on Ozempic and then I just
went to the tur Zeppetide.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, okay, just went to that this week.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I just changed after a year in Ozempic and it
really wasn't It wasn't helping me lose any weight, but
it was helping me maintain because I've always yo yoed,
you know, up and down, up and now, which is
what a yoyo does.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
You're welcome. I just crisplained that to you. I happy
to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So I just went to the tur Zeppetide, which has
got it attacks things in two different ways, and I
did notice the first injection I took of that that
seem to really curb my appetite. You know how it
is when when you're sick and you're just like, I
just don't feel like eating. Yeah, that's what it is.
Even when I'm bored, I don't feel like, oh, I
gotta go to the fridge, which is one of my
(29:15):
biggest issues. When I don't have something going on, If
I'm you know, I can't sit still or whatever. Then
I'm like, I'll just eat something. I'll just make some nachos.
I'll just always always do that. I did see this.
Have you ever done this? Because I find that the
fast food places, it seems like a regular meal. Now
we all have been conditioned to supersize it. A regular
(29:36):
meal is plenty. In fact, the kid's meal is probably enough.
And now we're finding out fifty percent of adults have
admitted to ordering kids meals. They say that the part
of it is because fast food has gotten stupid expensive,
but also finding out that adults are ordering the kids meals.
Ronner is saying because he wants the toys. But that's
(29:57):
not it. We're also eating kids meals because it's there's
enough food in there. I remember growing up, and maybe
it's just because I'm old, just an old man. I
remember the old days, the nineteen hundreds. Oh my goodness,
it was a simpler time, pre internets, and I remember
going to the fast food place and my parents would
(30:19):
get me cheeseburger, small fries, and a small drink. My
parents would have a cheeseburger, regular fries, regular drink. It
was it so we got at McDonald's, and now you've
got to have the big Mac.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They introduced the big Mac.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It was delicious, right, I love it, But now I
was like the big Mac, large fries, large drink.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh, but supersize it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now I'm getting a big Mac with extra big fries
and an extra big drink. Right, and then they offer
it like the double quarter pounder, the driple quarter pounder,
the quadriple quarter pounder, the double big Mac. Oh yeah,
go ahead and supersize that for me too. It used
to be that four chicken nuggets was enough adults, the
kids would get four, adults would get six, the nine piece,
(31:01):
and then they went twenty piece. That's for the whole family.
No twenty pieces for one teenage.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Boy, flat out. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
The truth is, we don't need as much food as
what we're actually ordering. And uh, what I find is
that when I'm ordering in line, I'm hungry and I
want as much food as possible.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
But if I order the kid's meal, by the time
I'm done, that's plenty.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Helly yeah, okay, okay, I'm here not with me on this,
huh no, no, no, no, I'm I wasn't and then
when you explained it, I was like. At first, I
was like I was about to be like, but then
as soon as you said I was like, oh, wait
a minute, he might be onto something. Because I am
hungry and I want the full meal.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yes, and then I get it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
But sometimes even when I get here and I'm starting eating,
like I forced myself to get it because it's like
stupid expensive. I don't want to waste the money, but
I always eating to the by the time I'm done,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I'm gonna vomit it. I didn't need all I didn't
need all this.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
But when I'm thinking like, yeah, if I would have
just got the kid's meal and eaten that, Chris, wow.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Dude, you're blowing my mind.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Even just don't supersize the next one, right, or just
get like the two Hamburger meal or get the value
menu or whatever and just see just try it once
or twice. But I have this problem where if I
get I used to order like four cheeseburgers, right, because
I'm like, four cheeseburgers that's better than a that's better
than two Big Macs, and it's much cheaper or whatever
it is, right, because listen, you don't get to be
I was almost three hundred thirty punds. You don't get
(32:24):
that big without working at it. And then but if
I've got four, I'm eating all four. I'm not letting
one get cold and go to waste and sit.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
In the fridge. Yeah yeah, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And if it's sitting in the bag next to me,
it's just calling my name. But if I don't have it,
I I don't need to eat it. So then I
find myself eating less. My wife turned me onto that trick.
I couldn't believe it. She's taking kids out for dinner
when they were little, and she'd get four kids meals
and then something for me, and I go, what are
you gonna eat?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
She goes your kid's meal. It's enough. It's a genius.
She is a genius.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I know, I know I could have done better. She
took one for the team so nobody else would have
to be.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
She's very good. She's very good for society, genuinely very good.
