Maria McErlane 0:00
You there with the illness.

What are the pros and cons of Ozempic?

Graham Norton 0:03
If you can stand, stand there. Whenever I meet anyone new, I like to picture them naked.
Maria McErlane 0:08
Yes, you do.
Graham Norton 0:09
Is that so wrong?
Maria McErlane 0:11
Then you live in Hastings. I wonder what the point of having children was. If I know there was a free drink involved. You can become an alcoholic.

How can I deal with a clingy customer at the market?

Maria McErlane 0:21
I just squeezed one out ages ago. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to this week's So So Offering Advice from myself and my good friend Maria McCurlin. It's Wangy on with Graham and Maria. Hello. Nice to see you, Graham. How are you? I'm very well. You're looking, Graham, may I say you're looking quite trim.
Graham Norton 0:41
Trim? Am I? Are you on the... No, I am not on the pen, as it's called. People say, is she on the pen?

What should I consider about being childless in my thirties?

Graham Norton 0:49
This is... This is for a Zen pic.
Maria McErlane 0:50
A Zen pic. Are they all the same? Is Munjaro... Are they all the same?
Graham Norton 0:54
Well, Monjaro, Wegovy, I think there's another one. They're all the same GLP-1s, which is, you know, some sort of blocker.
Maria McErlane 1:00
And is it like your diabetic pen? Do you just like stick it in your thigh?
Graham Norton 1:03
I have tried it. Oh, really? Yeah, because I put on a bit of weight when I was on steroids because of my bodybuilding, obviously.

How do societal expectations affect personal choices about family?

Maria McErlane 1:12
Miss Universe won't lift her own crown.
Graham Norton 1:16
No, I had a lung issue, so I had some steroids. And they're horrible and hateful, but they do make you chub up. So I was a bit vain about that. And so I thought, oh, I'll get some Ozempic, which is very easy to get. It's awful to say. You just buy it, can't you? Yeah. But, you know, once upon a time, you had to kind of take bubble wrap around you and send a photograph off. But now they just go, oh, here's some.
Maria McErlane 1:35
Because it was made for diabetics. And I feel like diabetics now find it quite hard to get.
Graham Norton 1:38
No, they don't. I think that's one of those fallacies that people who are anti-Ozempic say.
Maria McErlane 1:44
You know, the big knock-on effect of a Zempic is when you go to Denmark, home of a Zempic, it's lovely there because they actually tax companies in Denmark. So they've got all the Zempic millions sloshing around. So the roads are all lovely, streetlights all working, everyone's happy, bike lanes are all gorgeous.
Graham Norton 2:08
Why didn't Keir Starmer think of that?
Maria McErlane 2:10
Well, he needed to invent Ozempic first. And he was so busy running the country.
Graham Norton 2:17
He could make Labour's Ozempic, a different thing that doesn't work. No, I tried it, Graham, and you do just have to, you know, you have to get one jab.

What are the implications of using Ozempic for weight loss?

Graham Norton 2:27
And I tried the lowest dose, obviously, ever. And into the tummy, not hurty at all. But, and it's meant to stop food noise. That's what they say. Oprah Winfrey always talks about food noise. Hunger pangs. Well, it's kind of like what's next? You know when people who really love food are going, that was a lovely breakfast. What am I having for lunch?

How can I navigate conversations about my life choices?

Graham Norton 2:48
You know, it's like it's constant.
Maria McErlane 2:49
I sometimes wake up and wonder what I'm going to have for dinner.
Graham Norton 2:52
Do you? You see, that never really occurs to me very much. But chocolate, on the other hand, so it didn't stop my chocolate noise.
Maria McErlane 3:00
Oh.
Graham Norton 3:00
If anything, it made that worse.
Maria McErlane 3:02
Because you thought, I'll eat as much chocolate as I like.
Graham Norton 3:05
But I felt very nauseous with it. Some people, you know, some people it works for.
Maria McErlane 3:09
Is that because you were eating a lot of chocolate?
Graham Norton 3:11
Chocolate, yeah. It could have been.
Maria McErlane 3:13
Why am I feeling so... But it's so obvious. I've been out for dinner with a few people now. And what's annoying is they order normal meals. Why would you do that? And then they don't eat anything. anything because they've had a starter so now they're ozempic full I guess I don't know I haven't tried it so I don't know what the feeling is whether they're full or whether they just have no interest in food I don't know what it is but they have a bit of starter and then ah that is it and their main course sits there untouched
Graham Norton 3:43
I mean, people have been doing that since way before a Zen pick. Ask Joan Crawford. I mean, Joan Crawford, Joan Collins. I remember doing your, when the Lady Taverners did that. But that's the willpower. I know, but that's what I'm thinking. She had marvellous willpower because I was sitting next to her and I, you know, the meal came and there were sort of like potatoes and broccoli.
