It is scary how quick you regain the weight.
And, you know, you want to hear a crazy story.
I was actually supposed to be the original face for Ozempic.
Ozempic reached out to me many years ago.
And we're like, we got this brand, we got this product, and we want to see if you're interested.
And they offered me a freaking incredible deal to be the face of Ozempic.
Before freaking, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I was supposed to be the guy singing that in the commercials.
They wanted me to be the brand, the face for it.
And even though it was a million dollar deal, I couldn't do it.
It wasn't a voiceover role.
What they wanted from me was more than what I could give because I was going to do better on the road.
Okay, you're selling Ozempic around wherever.
So I had this conversation with Big Boy, you know, Big Boy here, LA, Real 92.3.
I've known Big Boy for 20 years and I knew him when he was 500 plus pounds, when he was really big.
Now he's, you know, he's maybe 210.
You know, and it was one of those things where I said, hey, man, how did things change for you once you lost all that weight?
You weren't big boy anymore.
He goes, no, I wasn't big boy no more, but I was alive.
