You liked it so much you quit. And left us.
You're cheating.
It's basically, I was like... Yeah. Where do you stand on this? Oh my God, Trevor, you can't ask me that at the beginning of the thing. That's exactly where you start, at the beginning. I am pro-choice when it comes to Zen Pick. Oh, I like this. Well played. I am pro-choice. I'm pro-choice. That's who I am. Yeah.
No. I've seen friends and family members on the drug and seen how it's changed their life.
Changed their lives in what way? Beyond the weight, they seem more comfortable in their bodies. Some of them had like back and knee issues. You know, some people, it was just like they were struggling. Some people, it's like it's kind of regulated their appetite. They're drinking less. So when you see it from that perspective, it's been like, oh, wow.
So I'm pro the choice, but I'm not pro the societal pressure that I think some people feel to take.
I heard he's on Ozempic. Everyone calling him... Wait, what? They're saying Ozempic Trump. They're calling him Ozempic Trump.
Allegedly. Please, Maga, don't come for me. Please. Allegedly. Wow. He looks different. I believe it.
I mean, it's funny that you mention the childhood stuff that it brings up because recently it was approved for children. Oh, it was? Yeah. And there are parents who are making the decision. I don't know about that. I mean, Trevor, that's very visceral. You're like giving it to kids.
That's weird. It's so crazy. But I meet mothers, a lot of older girls who are like preteens and teenagers, and they'll show you pictures of their daughter and be like, oh, but this one needs to lose weight. You know, like mothers, it's so encoded in our culture that there are mothers out there and fathers out there. You need to lose weight.
I mean, most people's relationship with food don't come from themselves. They often come from their parents and their families.
It's really interesting. There is this cultural... The body that's idealized is quite hard to get. So it's like big hips, tiny waist and big boobs and a big bum, which is...
pretty impossible to get right most people don't have it naturally and you're not probably going to have that after you have kids I was always considered a bit too skinny like my grandma was like I remember she was saying to me once she was crying and my mum was like why are you crying she was just like she calls me by my name Amma she was just like who's going to marry Amma she's got bones right
You know, if you actually go to West Africa in particular, you see a lot of body diversity. So you see like really tall women, really muscular women. And like in Nigeria, I think the most, the biggest indicator about how bodies naturally are is that does your tribe have a fattening room? Which is like before a woman gets married, she has to go to a room. You said a fattening room.
They call it a fattening room where you have to become fat because the girls are just naturally quite muscular, especially in like in the Southeast, quite muscular and live. You know what I mean? So you know what that means. Fatness is supposed to be good, a sign of fertility.
Until you get fat.
Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't know about that. Oh, wait. Okay.
Is it like... They're giving you yams and thick food, carbohydrates, basically, and lots of meat to make you bigger.
I mean, the girls didn't want to get fat or get married. So it's kind of like...
I'm sorry, guys. It always gets dark.
