• 1:31Speaker 02

  Love the show. Thank you. I'm a fellow fat person and I'm going on a zempic. Oh, zemped up. And I low-key have the urge to not tell people and then just lose all the weight and be like, it was this diet, next this diet. I feel like that would be awesome. That's awesome. But at the same time, that's kind of lying. What would you do if you were to suddenly get really skinny from Ozempic? Thank you.

• 2:00Stavros Halkias?

  Well, let me tell you this, no one's gonna believe you.

• 2:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:03Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, you've never, you've been fat as shit your whole life, you've never exercised.

• 2:08Speaker 04

  You don't own workout clothes.

• 2:09Stavros Halkias?

  You don't own workout clothes, you're gonna, like, by the way, people that fucking lose weight exercising, they let you know.

• 2:16Speaker 04

  There's an Instagram reel every day.

• 2:20Stavros Halkias?

  Exactly. There's a minimum of story posted, there's mirror gym selfies, like, the amount of work you'll have to do to pretend you did it with diet and exercise, you might as well diet and exercise.

• 2:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, this is the stolen valor of weight loss.

• 2:36Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:36Speaker 04

  You know, like, oh, I did it through diet and exercise, not Ozempic. We're gonna find the needles, alright? We're gonna track you down and figure it out.

• 2:42Stavros Halkias?

  And, and by the way, here's the other thing, I think if you get zamped up, you should talk about it, because that is the weird, I think a lot of what people are mad about with this is that, people feel so superior to fat people, right? Because of, by the way, good luck, right? Like, you just don't have the fu, like, sure, some people have the willpower, but a lot of people, how many people do we know, like, I know people who are addicted to a lot of other shit, who are pieces of shit, who just happen to be skinny, and they still feel like, you know, they feel superior to fat people, right? And I think it makes them more mad that you did it from a, like, if you wanna get one over on them, cuz diet and exercise is fat self-flagellation.

• 3:27Stavros Halkias?

  It's showing that you have to suffer to fucking be, to be, to be a worthwhile person to non-fat people. This cheat, like, I've been thinking about Ozempic a lot, because I, I am considering getting on like, some G, whatever, GLP-1 stuff, because I spent the last year trying to get healthier, and it worked, I lost 40 pounds, but then the second I got busy, I gained weight again, and I'm just realizing like, If I'm gonna keep working at this pace, it's gonna be really hard for me to just like fully do it without, you know, with that.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  Is GLP-1 Ozempic or is that different?

• 4:01Stavros Halkias?

  It's like, that's the one, yeah.

• 4:02Speaker 04

  We go V or?

• 4:03Stavros Halkias?

  GLP-1s, whatever. Ozempic is way more for diabetes, specifically they have, they have ones that are just for, you know, fat.

• 4:09Speaker 04

  What's holding you back? Why wouldn't you?

• 4:11Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, I'm considering, like, I'm gonna go to a doctor and talk about it. Cause like, basically what held me back last year was being like, the same, this mindset of, and the fat self-flagellation mindset of like, I have to dance for my, for my in-shape overlords and fucking go to the gym and lose weight so they'll accept me as a, as a, as one of the good ones, right? Um, when it comes down to it is like, I'm legitimately scared of dying if I, because of my job that's so stressful and that, because I'm gonna go on tour and then I'm on set and like, basically, I wanna get to a point where when I get off of tour, I'm not trying to,

• 4:50Stavros Halkias?

  um, repair damage, I'm just staying, I'm staying on track. So, I would say, they're gonna be able to tell.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  Can I ask a follow-up question to you?

• 5:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, sure.

• 5:02Speaker 04

  Uh, do you think it impacts you onstage or performance or how you're perceived? If you were to lose weight, would that shift how an audience like laughs at you or not?

• 5:13Stavros Halkias?

  I'm so not worried about that. I mean, I think, I think the thing about stand-up comedy is like, uh, you, like, it's about truly being yourself. And I may, you know, a lot of people, I think, I think a lot of people say like, oh, if you lose weight, you won't be funny, but it's like, that's not what makes me funny. It's like, it's, I will be able to, I'll be struggling with a lot of stuff. And by the way, I'm never not, I'm not gonna be fucking, I'm not gonna be those people that takes it till they're fucking 140 pounds. I literally just wanna get in the normal range of, like, I probably still will be technically, my goal weight is being maybe even obese.

• 5:52Stavros Halkias?

  Or like at the high end of overweight, but it's like, I just am feeling like I need to, cause I actually do like diet and exercise, whatever. I actually like when I get to lock in and I, I can, like, when I'm just writing something or I'm taking time off and I'm exercising, I love doing that, but. You know, the schedule doesn't allow for that right now. Um, and so what I would say to our friend here is like, just fucking do, you know, no one's gonna believe you.

• 6:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:23Stavros Halkias?

  And if you're like, yeah, I did it. It's fucking awesome. I don't have to be fat anymore because of a magic drug. It's like, hey, don't you have high blood pressure? Hey, your, your fucking heart's not exploding because of the pills you're taking. Hey, your dick's getting, this old guy, that old, that old guy gets to fuck young pussy because it was, it's like, fat people finally get a medicine. Everyone's mad at us now. We can't have shit, dude. The fuck? Yeah, this is medicine. No, everybody like it's guys on TRT that are mad at fat people for taking those. It's guys that fucking like, you're not supposed to be jacked at 60, bro. Don't tell me about grinding. You know what I mean?

• 6:59Speaker 04

  I feel like getting skinny by injecting yourself with something is the fattest thing to do.

• 7:04Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 7:04Speaker 04

  You know what I mean?

• 7:05Stavros Halkias?

  Put it in a fucking Twinkie.

• 7:09Stavros Halkias?

  Make it, yeah, put it in a little snack. Put it in a Mike and Ices. Now we're fucking talking. But yeah, don't lie. They're gonna be able to tell. And then you're a fucking, then you're a liar. Whereas if you, if you own it, you're cool. And you're like, yeah, suck my dick. I took the drug.

• 7:24Speaker 04

  People will be happy for you. Oh, you look great.

• 7:27Stavros Halkias?

  And whoever doesn't feel happy for you is a piece of shit. That's the other thing.

• 7:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 7:30Stavros Halkias?

  That's an easy way to know who's a fucking asshole.

• 7:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's true.

• 7:33Stavros Halkias?

  And who was actually loved you being fat because they, they had one thing over on you.
