Suing Lyft Because You_re Fat · THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

0:00
Speaker 1: Deja Blanding's recorded it all. Her Lyft driver pulling up
0:04
Speaker 1: only to turn her down.
0:05
Speaker 2: I was too big.
0:08
Speaker 1: She's hired a lawyer and is suing Lyft.
0:10
Speaker 3: I was embarrassed and.
0:14
Speaker 2: I felt some type of way about it, you know.
0:16
Speaker 4: Let me get this straight.
0:18
Speaker 5: A guy says that you're too big to fit into
0:20
Speaker 5: his car and instead of hiring a nutritionist, you hire
0:23
Speaker 5: a lawyer? I mean, look at this video here. She
0:25
Speaker 5: can't even walk properly. and she's 500 pounds at 29
0:29
Speaker 5: years old. This Lyft situation should be a wake-up call,
0:33
Speaker 5: not a get-rich-quick scheme.
0:35
Speaker 6: From a legal standpoint, it seems like obvious discrimination. The
0:38
Speaker 6: Elliott-Larson Act, which is Michigan's Civil Rights Act, specifically protects
0:42
Speaker 6: people from weight discrimination. And the driver here turned down
0:46
Speaker 6: her ride because.
0:47
Speaker 1: Of her weight.
0:48
Speaker 5: Spoken like a true sociopath, you were able to say
0:51
Speaker 5: that with a straight face? Guys like this give lawyers
0:54
Speaker 5: a bad reputation. This woman is big enough to be
0:57
Speaker 5: 5 to 10 years away from death, yet just to
0:59
Speaker 5: get your name in the news, you'll take advantage of
1:01
Speaker 5: a part of a law that is obviously stupid, and
1:04
Speaker 5: from the looks of it, was written in the 1970s
1:06
Speaker 5: before we had a bunch of my 600-pound lifers walking
1:09
Speaker 5: around trying to save $ 10 on an Uber XL. Anyway,
1:13
Speaker 5: the person that you see here is 29-year-old TikTok rapper
1:16
Speaker 5: Deja Blanding, or Dank DeMoss. A little while ago, she
1:19
Speaker 5: wanted to go to a Detroit Lions watch party, so
1:22
Speaker 5: she ordered a car on Lyft, and when the driver
1:24
Speaker 5: got there... He refused to let her in the vehicle
1:26
Speaker 5: because she was too big to fit. Instead of self-reflecting
1:30
Speaker 5: and saying, maybe I have a problem, or simply paying
1:32
Speaker 5: a few dollars more for a bigger car, she decides
1:35
Speaker 5: to sue people because someone told her the truth. And
1:38
Speaker 5: the truth was so offensive that she needs a big payout.
1:41
Speaker 5: I mean, look how traumatized she is.
1:43
Speaker 1: Deja says this experience has scarred her.
1:47
Speaker 2: I haven't really, like, left my house since then.
1:50
Speaker 5: I mean, she found out how to leave her house
1:52
Speaker 5: to talk to a lawyer and do several interviews.
1:54
Speaker 4: She can't be that scarred.
1:56
Speaker 1: She hopes this lawsuit will change how people treat others
1:59
Speaker 1: of all sizes.
2:00
Speaker 5: Oh, you are so full of shit trying to make
2:02
Speaker 5: it seem like you care about other people when you're
2:04
Speaker 5: obviously just looking for a payout for yourself. This is
2:07
Speaker 5: literally an episode of the Boondocks. They parodied this exact
2:10
Speaker 5: type of news story.
2:11
Speaker 7: And a J.
2:12
Speaker 8: Edgar Hoover elementary teacher has now been suspended over calling
2:15
Speaker 8: a student the N-word.
2:17
Speaker 1: Riley Freeman is a third grade student at J.
2:20
Speaker 9: Edgar Hoover Elementary School.
2:21
Speaker 1: He's a basketball player, an avid reader, and one day hopes.
2:24
Speaker 10: To spread his philosophy through rap music.
2:27
Speaker 11: He said, I used the word before, but I didn't.
2:30
Speaker 4: I wouldn't use that word ever.
2:32
Speaker 12: That word hurts people.
2:33
Speaker 13: And how did it make you feel?
2:35
Speaker 1: Like.
2:36
Speaker 3: I was less than a person.
2:38
Speaker 5: If you haven't seen the show, the joke is that
2:40
Speaker 5: Riley is kind of a bad kid who says the
2:42
Speaker 5: N-word constantly. And they were also doing a parody of
2:45
Speaker 5: a real news story with surprising accuracy, actually. But traditional
2:49
Speaker 5: media has a really bad habit of uplifting some pretty
2:52
Speaker 5: awful people while painting them as victims or heroes, and
2:55
Speaker 5: the show is making fun of the news formula that
2:57
Speaker 5: they're using with the girl who was suing Lyft.
2:59
Speaker 10: Oh, what sad times these are, when educators can go
3:02
Speaker 10: around willy-nilly calling our kids the N-word. Me and my
3:06
Speaker 10: boy have suffered tremendous unspecified mental and physical damage from this.
3:10
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, when no one's looking, they're dancing around because they're
3:13
Speaker 5: happy that they now have the chance to fleece the
3:15
Speaker 5: school board for hundreds of thousands of dollars because a
3:18
Speaker 5: teacher made a mistake. They don't care about the offensive language.
3:21
Speaker 5: They're just using this situation to make money. But considering
3:24
Speaker 5: that this whole Lyft event caused rapper Dank DeMoss such
3:27
Speaker 5: strong emotional damage that it requires monetary compensation, let's see
3:31
Speaker 5: what actually occurred.
3:32
Speaker 7: So what you're saying?
3:34
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got no space in my car.
3:36
Speaker 2: It's small.
3:38
Speaker 3: I can fit in this car?
3:39
Speaker 11: No, believe me, you can.
3:41
Speaker 1: Yes, I can.
3:42
Speaker 13: Believe me.
3:43
Speaker 7: So, I'm sorry.
3:44
Speaker 3: So you're telling me I can't get in a Lyft
3:48
Speaker 3: because I can't fit in your car?
3:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, you need to order a bigger car.
3:52
Speaker 4: Absolutely traumatizing.
3:54
Speaker 5: Uh, miss, you can't physically fit into my car. Could
3:56
Speaker 5: you please order a bigger one? I mean, considering that
3:59
Speaker 5: she's filming this for like a hit piece, he's being
4:01
Speaker 5: very polite. Now, just in case you need some sort
4:04
Speaker 5: of imagery to understand the scale of this, I found
4:06
Speaker 5: a picture of Deja, or Dank DeMoss, in a much
4:09
Speaker 5: bigger car, and she's being crushed by the steering wheel here.
4:12
Speaker 5: I don't think she can safely drive this car. Also,
4:15
Speaker 5: if you look here at this rap video, she's almost
4:17
Speaker 5: the width of this SUV's trunk. So I don't think
4:20
Speaker 5: it's out of line for this guy to not want
4:21
Speaker 5: to risk her getting into the car, especially considering that
4:24
Speaker 5: it's low to the ground, and he is probably liable
4:27
Speaker 5: for a lawsuit if she gets stuck or injures herself
4:29
Speaker 5: trying to sit down.
4:31
Speaker 2: What makes you think I can't sit in this car?
4:32
Speaker 6: Because the car is smaller than the bedroom.
4:35
Speaker 1: My best friend has a biz that's newer than this
4:37
Speaker 1: that I can sit in.
4:38
Speaker 2: That's the same time.
4:39
Speaker 4: Then get your best friend to drive you. Problem solved.
4:42
Speaker 2: So you're really telling me I'm too big to get
4:45
Speaker 2: in your car?
4:58
Speaker 4: Yes, that's true.
4:59
Speaker 5: If you do something like sit a 500-pound woman to
5:01
Speaker 5: one side of the car, it can put extra heat
5:04
Speaker 5: and wear and tear on the tires, and if those
5:06
Speaker 5: tires are already old, it puts you at a higher
5:08
Speaker 5: risk for a blowout. and tires aren't the only thing
5:11
Speaker 5: she can damage. Hell, my car is a little bigger
5:13
Speaker 5: than his, and in the user manual, it says that
5:15
Speaker 5: I'm supposed to put extra air in the tires if
5:17
Speaker 5: more than three adults are sitting in the vehicle, and
5:20
Speaker 5: considering that she weighs more than three adults, I think
5:23
Speaker 5: this driver has the correct response. I wouldn't want her
5:26
Speaker 5: irresponsible eating habits to damage my car either.
5:28
Speaker 2: So every big person you turn down because they can't fit.
5:32
Speaker 7: In your car?
5:46
Speaker 5: The way she repeats questions like, so just to make sure,
5:49
Speaker 5: you won't let me in your car because of my
5:51
Speaker 5: weight and you reject every big person who can't fit
5:54
Speaker 5: into your car, makes it sound like she ordered a
5:56
Speaker 5: small car on purpose so she could file that lawsuit.
5:59
Speaker 5: She sounds like the guy in the Mafia movie who's
6:01
Speaker 5: wearing a wire. especially considering how many times she asked
6:04
Speaker 5: him to repeat that he won't let her in the
6:06
Speaker 5: car because of her weight, and considering that she doxes
6:09
Speaker 5: him by asking him for his full name, followed by
6:12
Speaker 5: posting the video to her TikTok account.
6:14
Speaker 4: The real victim is the driver, not her.
6:16
Speaker 5: So, naturally, Lyft did the right thing by completely throwing
6:19
Speaker 5: the driver under the bus.
6:21
Speaker 14: While Lyft does not comment on pending litigation, they did
6:25
Speaker 14: send us this statement, saying, quote, Lyft unequivocally condemns all
6:29
Speaker 14: forms of discrimination. We believe in a community where everyone
6:32
Speaker 14: is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. Our community
6:37
Speaker 14: guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.
6:42
Speaker 5: Spoken like a true asshole corporation that does nothing to
6:45
Speaker 5: stand up for its workers. Is it ever a shock
6:48
Speaker 5: when a big corporation takes the customer's side when that
6:50
Speaker 5: customer is clearly abusing an employee? Fortunately, I think we're
6:54
Speaker 5: hitting a tipping point and everyone's kind of tired of
6:56
Speaker 5: this stuff and tired of all the virtue signaling.
6:58
Speaker 2: Hello, Democrats.
6:59
Speaker 12: Hey, I am speaking and I would love your attention.
7:03
Speaker 15: There is a black woman at this podium and I
7:06
Speaker 15: deserve your attention like the 11 people who went before me.
7:09
Speaker 1: Yes, I am speaking.
7:11
Speaker 7: Good evening, Democrats. Look up here.
7:13
Speaker 2: Three strong black women standing before you.
7:16
Speaker 12: Over the last several days, we've seen what happens when
7:19
Speaker 12: we have the wrong people in powerful places. And so today,
7:23
Speaker 12: I ask for your support in electing me as your
7:26
Speaker 12: DNC vice chair because in a time of crisis, leadership matters.
7:31
Speaker 5: Even the Democrats are tired of DEI. All of those
7:34
Speaker 5: strong black women in What Does the DNC Do? elect
7:37
Speaker 5: a white man as vice chair. I'm glad to see
7:39
Speaker 5: corporate America standing with me.
7:41
Speaker 4: Fascinating.
7:42
Speaker 5: But people are getting tired of diversity grifting, they're getting
7:45
Speaker 5: tired of people pretending to be offended for money, and
7:47
Speaker 5: they're tired of this idiotic protesting tactic that BLM popularized,
7:51
Speaker 5: where protesters block roads and, uh, supermarket aisles.
7:58
Speaker 13: I don't care.
8:21
Speaker 4: They have a right to be pissed off.
8:22
Speaker 5: The whole claim is that this is peaceful protesting, but
8:25
Speaker 5: blocking people's movement or blocking roads or holding people captive
8:29
Speaker 5: is not peaceful. If you're holding people against their will,
8:32
Speaker 5: then that is an act of force, not peace, and
8:34
Speaker 5: people being held should respond accordingly. Outside of that, 500-pound
8:39
Speaker 5: rapper Deja continues her press tour with this moment here.
8:42
Speaker 15: The rapper says she's pretty tough. Dank DeMoss, as she's
8:48
Speaker 15: known at the mic, is crushed by the whole situation.
8:51
Speaker 2: I just want them to know, like, It really hurt
8:55
Speaker 2: my feelings.
8:56
Speaker 15: Since she posted the encounter on social media, other full-figured
8:59
Speaker 15: folks have reached out saying the same thing happened to them.
9:02
Speaker 5: Crushed is one hell of a word to describe this event.
9:05
Speaker 5: And full-figured is one hell of a euphemism.
9:08
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of times people think that
9:10
Speaker 3: the F word, people should just be in the house.
9:13
Speaker 13: The F word?
9:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, the F word.
9:16
Speaker 7: You can't say in your house fat.
9:19
Speaker 2: Oh!
9:20
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that word.
9:21
Speaker 7: You said that the F word, the fat, is a slur.
9:25
Speaker 13: Yes.
9:25
Speaker 5: Okay, now, we know that Deja is tough, but she
9:28
Speaker 5: needs your sympathy because a guy telling her the truth
9:30
Speaker 5: hurts her feelings?
9:31
Speaker 7: What?
9:32
Speaker 5: Also, at the start of this video, she said that
9:34
Speaker 5: the whole situation was embarrassing, but if she was really
9:37
Speaker 5: that embarrassed, then she wouldn't have uploaded a video to
9:39
Speaker 5: TikTok that highlights the fact that she is too overweight
9:42
Speaker 5: to fit into a car. It is possible to sue
9:44
Speaker 5: people without doing a press tour. So not a lot
9:47
Speaker 5: of honesty here.
9:48
Speaker 2: Have you been in cars that size before?
9:50
Speaker 13: Yes, I have.
9:52
Speaker 2: I've been in cars smarter than that.
9:53
Speaker 4: Prove it.
9:54
Speaker 5: She said her best friend has a car that's the
9:56
Speaker 5: same size. Go get it and show on the news
9:58
Speaker 5: broadcast that you can fit. No one thought of that?
10:01
Speaker 6: It would be no different than a driver pulling up
10:03
Speaker 6: and saying, you know, I don't want to have black
10:05
Speaker 6: people in my car or I don't want to have
10:07
Speaker 6: Christians in my car or Muslims in my car.
10:09
Speaker 7: It's the same. Under the law, it's the same.
10:12
Speaker 5: This is a really stupid argument considering that being a
10:14
Speaker 5: certain race or a certain religious faith does not inherently
10:17
Speaker 5: mean that you are likely to damage a car or
10:19
Speaker 5: create liability issues just by sitting down. There's a reason
10:23
Speaker 5: for why the guy said no to her, and it's
10:25
Speaker 5: not the same as racism. Also, just to further emphasize
10:28
Speaker 5: how stupid this interpretation of the law is, imagine you're
10:32
Speaker 5: in a roller coaster park and you are too big
10:33
Speaker 5: to safely ride the roller coaster. If they reject you,
10:37
Speaker 5: then this lawyer is saying that you can sue the
10:39
Speaker 5: park for trying to keep you safe. Another side note
10:42
Speaker 5: is that I've read this law, and I actually don't
10:45
Speaker 5: think that Lyft is in violation of it because as
10:47
Speaker 5: a service, they do offer accommodations for people of her size.
10:51
Speaker 4: It's called Lyft XL, and because.
10:53
Speaker 5: They provide bigger cars, they are in fact not barring
10:56
Speaker 5: super obese people from their service, which means they're not
10:59
Speaker 5: in violation of the anti-discrimination law. Now, this is just
11:03
Speaker 5: me being an internet lawyer, but I do think that
11:05
Speaker 5: Lyft could have a strong case against her, and I
11:08
Speaker 5: hope they countersue her for legal fees and financially ruin her.
11:11
Speaker 5: People who try to sue others because their feelings got
11:13
Speaker 5: hurt are parasites on society, and this grift is exactly
11:17
Speaker 5: what the Boondocks was making fun of around ten years ago.
11:20
Speaker 8: Using the term gay when you mean something is stupid
11:22
Speaker 8: or dumb, that's offensive.
11:24
Speaker 11: I didn't say gay to mean stupid or dumb.
11:27
Speaker 1: I said gay to mean gay.
11:28
Speaker 8: Now that you've had time to think about the seriousness
11:31
Speaker 8: of what your grandson has done... I'm sure you'd agree
11:33
Speaker 8: that the best way to make amends with the LGBT
11:36
Speaker 8: community is a donation to support the fine work we.
11:39
Speaker 4: Do at YesHomo. What if I say no, homo? Oh,
11:43
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Did you think that was a request?
11:45
Speaker 8: I've destroyed lives way bigger than yours.
11:47
Speaker 5: Like I said, it's all just a bunch of parasites
11:50
Speaker 5: trying to find some sort of loophole to get rich
11:52
Speaker 5: without doing any actual work. So anyway, after she went
11:55
Speaker 5: viral and everyone laughed at her, Deja decided to go
11:58
Speaker 5: on TikTok to make a little response video where she
12:00
Speaker 5: removed the comments, which is definitely a good sign, right?
12:03
Speaker 3: First of all, let's touch bases on the big bitches
12:05
Speaker 3: in the back that got something to say about me.
12:07
Speaker 2: I've seen a bitch that go walk.
12:09
Speaker 7: Bitches, you cool.
12:11
Speaker 11: Like, you only like one burger away from being my size.
12:14
Speaker 2: Like, y'all hoes got me fucked up.
12:16
Speaker 13: Bitch.
12:16
Speaker 5: Smoke detector going off in the background. That's just perfect.
12:20
Speaker 5: I wonder how long she's left that thing beeping. But
12:22
Speaker 5: what I find really strange about that last clip is
12:25
Speaker 5: that she seems to have no problem making fun of
12:27
Speaker 5: people who are fat when they don't agree with her,
12:30
Speaker 5: saying that they're only one burger away from being too
12:32
Speaker 5: big to fit into a car.
12:33
Speaker 4: What a shock.
12:34
Speaker 5: Who could have guessed that she engages in the same
12:36
Speaker 5: behavior that the news says she was crushed by?
12:39
Speaker 2: You are the clout? You must be kidding.
12:49
Speaker 5: People who are successful at social media don't have time
12:52
Speaker 5: for bullshit lawsuits. Only brokies do stuff like that because
12:55
Speaker 5: they aren't talented enough to succeed without being a parasite.
12:58
Speaker 4: Let's see.
12:59
Speaker 5: Looking at her TikTok account, her views are garbage. For comparison,
13:03
Speaker 5: recently I covered Molly Rutter who gets way better views
13:06
Speaker 5: on TikTok, and she was so broke that she crashed
13:09
Speaker 5: out over a paycheck being one day late. Deja's YouTube
13:12
Speaker 5: account also has trash views, not to mention that the
13:15
Speaker 5: cost of filming these music videos probably kills any income
13:18
Speaker 5: she gets from them. So unless she does really well
13:20
Speaker 5: selling out concerts, or has like a BBW OnlyFans account,
13:24
Speaker 5: she's completely broke. And look at that, she does have
13:27
Speaker 5: an OnlyFans account.
13:28
Speaker 4: Again, what a shock.
13:30
Speaker 2: I posted this.
13:31
Speaker 11: Video because y'all got us fucked up. Bitch, I am
13:33
Speaker 11: a big person fucking advocate. And I'm not the only
13:37
Speaker 11: person that they did that shit to, bitch. I'm just
13:39
Speaker 11: the only person that's gonna stand up. I'm the only
13:42
Speaker 11: person that's gonna post the video.
13:43
Speaker 5: Right, so now it looks even more like you ordered
13:45
Speaker 5: a small car on purpose knowing that you could sue
13:47
Speaker 5: for being rejected.
13:49
Speaker 11: Why the fuck y'all don't have an option on the
13:51
Speaker 11: fucking app that say, are you, are you of size or, um,
13:57
Speaker 11: so that we can send you a bigger car? So
13:59
Speaker 11: that shit is humiliating. Like, what the fuck?
14:03
Speaker 5: They do have that option. It's called UberXL or LyftXL.
14:07
Speaker 5: The guy even informed you that it's possible to order
14:09
Speaker 5: a bigger car if you are a person of size.
14:12
Speaker 5: You just didn't want to pay the extra fee. And
14:15
Speaker 5: if you are humiliated, then stop eating so much food. Also,
14:18
Speaker 5: did she watch this back before posting it because she
14:21
Speaker 5: just admitted that she can't fit into the car? Did
14:23
Speaker 5: your lawyer tell you that it was a good idea
14:25
Speaker 5: to upload this? Well, if you thought that was a
14:27
Speaker 5: horrendous admission of guilt, even worse, just as I was
14:31
Speaker 5: about to release this video, I found out that Deja
14:33
Speaker 5: went on Charlemagne's radio show, and this happened.
14:36
Speaker 7: Got it.
14:37
Speaker 2: Yep.
14:39
Speaker 3: This the only seat y'all got?
14:42
Speaker 2: What you want? What you need?
14:43
Speaker 3: A bigger chair or something.
14:45
Speaker 7: This is what.
14:49
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.
14:51
Speaker 13: Good.
14:51
Speaker 2: This is the accommodation.
14:56
Speaker 5: You needed the whole couch to sit down and you're
14:58
Speaker 5: going to say that you could have fit in that car?
15:00
Speaker 11: Bitch, it's below zero. I'm outside and you pulling off
15:03
Speaker 11: on me, bitch. I don't give a fuck if you
15:05
Speaker 11: gave me my fucking money back.
15:08
Speaker 5: If you didn't want to sit out in below zero
15:10
Speaker 5: degree weather, then you should have ordered a bigger car.
15:13
Speaker 4: It's a good thing that Lyft has that option. You
15:15
Speaker 4: have a choice.
15:16
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think this actually fully displays how much
15:19
Speaker 5: of a crybaby Deja is being. Fortunately, another great find
15:23
Speaker 5: from Charlamagne's show was her saying this.
15:25
Speaker 3: I want them at least to like accommodate us. You know,
15:28
Speaker 3: I feel like we shouldn't have to pay more for
15:31
Speaker 3: Uber XL or something like that. Anytime I shout out
15:35
Speaker 3: to Southwest because they accommodate bigger people. If you need
15:38
Speaker 3: two seats, They're going to give it to you for free.
15:40
Speaker 3: If you pay for two seats, they're going to refund you.
15:43
Speaker 4: Literally just says the quiet part out loud.
15:45
Speaker 5: If I'm 500 pounds, I should get a discount on
15:48
Speaker 5: Uber XL and a free plane seat. Man, if Southwest
15:51
Speaker 5: has enough extra cash to be giving people free seats,
15:54
Speaker 5: then maybe they shouldn't be packing people in with half
15:56
Speaker 5: an inch of leg room. Now, there's one last thing
15:59
Speaker 5: here that I have to address with this radio show,
16:01
Speaker 5: because Deja brings in a doctor so she can blame
16:04
Speaker 5: her thyroid for her weight.
16:05
Speaker 13: So I've been dank provider for a little over three months, right?
16:09
Speaker 13: And she's lost 80 pounds. Your 80 pounds go look
16:12
Speaker 13: different from her 80 pounds, right? Because she started at 580.
16:16
Speaker 13: So even with her being at 500, people be like,
16:19
Speaker 13: she's still not losing. But that's not the case. Well,
16:22
Speaker 13: her thyroid makes it very difficult for her to lose
16:24
Speaker 13: weight because her hormones is unbalanced.
16:27
Speaker 5: That doctor is full of shit. There's no way she's
16:29
Speaker 5: lost 80 pounds. Actually, I believe they ended up claiming
16:32
Speaker 5: that she lost 100 pounds in total. Now, I will
16:35
Speaker 5: give Deja credit for going to the gym. She does
16:37
Speaker 5: have videos showing that, and people are quite encouraging of
16:40
Speaker 5: that activity in her comment section. Everybody loves it when
16:43
Speaker 5: someone's trying to better themselves. However, I scrolled down her
16:47
Speaker 5: TikTok account to older videos, and here's one from about
16:50
Speaker 5: four months ago in October of 2024. And unfortunately, if
16:54
Speaker 5: you go to something more recent like this video from
16:56
Speaker 5: about a week ago, there are no signs of weight loss,
16:59
Speaker 5: like she doesn't look thinner, and there's no excess skin
17:02
Speaker 5: or laxity in her skin that comes with dropping 100
17:04
Speaker 5: pounds in just a few months. If anything, she looks
17:07
Speaker 5: bigger in this photo. Now, this could be an older
17:10
Speaker 5: picture that she reposted recently, so let's go to a
17:13
Speaker 5: screenshot from the Charlemagne show, and yeah, she definitely looks
17:16
Speaker 5: like she has not lost weight.
17:17
Speaker 4: 80 to 100.
17:18
Speaker 5: Pounds would be very noticeable. So like I said, I
17:21
Speaker 5: think that doctor is lying. Wait, she's not even a doctor.
17:25
Speaker 5: Her Instagram says that she's a registered nurse, which is
17:28
Speaker 5: weird because they called her a doctor on the show.
17:30
Speaker 7: Stormy Anderson. Stormy gonna get it right.
17:32
Speaker 2: Dr.
17:33
Speaker 7: Stormy.
17:33
Speaker 2: Thank you.
17:34
Speaker 5: Lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. Well, that's
17:38
Speaker 5: not possible. Helps 750 clients lose 10,000 pounds. That's not
17:43
Speaker 5: very much weight. That's only like 13 pounds a patient.
17:46
Speaker 5: It says on this Lifetime Achievement Award that she helps
17:48
Speaker 5: fight obesity. But nobody is ending their obesity problems with
17:52
Speaker 5: 13 pounds. Certainly Dank DeMoss isn't. Oh, and look at
17:55
Speaker 5: her second account. She shows weight loss supplements. Let's take
17:59
Speaker 5: a look at these. We have two multivitamins. Those aren't
18:02
Speaker 5: going to make you lose weight. And we have a
18:04
Speaker 5: laxative in the middle here. So that's how she got
18:07
Speaker 5: a person to drop 30 pounds in a month. She
18:09
Speaker 5: just had a really fat person crap out all the
18:11
Speaker 5: food they ate and let them believe they were losing fat,
18:14
Speaker 5: which is one of the oldest scams in the book.
18:16
Speaker 4: So she's like a straight-up fraudster.
18:18
Speaker 5: More importantly, since these people are stupid and leave evidence
18:21
Speaker 5: up everywhere, this person Stormy Lynn uploaded a video of
18:25
Speaker 5: Dank DeMoss on January 6th that was recorded around two
18:28
Speaker 5: weeks before where she says this.
18:30
Speaker 3: I've been working with them for like two to three months.
18:34
Speaker 2: And I am under 500 pounds. So I'm under 500 pounds, y'all.
18:46
Speaker 3: The last time I was under 500 pounds was like 2014.
18:51
Speaker 3: I'm down to like 485, 489, one of those.
18:55
Speaker 2: It's 2024. Next week is 25, but I'm here.
18:58
Speaker 5: That's really strange because five to six weeks later on
19:01
Speaker 5: The Breakfast Club, you said this.
19:02
Speaker 7: How much you weigh now?
19:04
Speaker 2: How much? 400. Minus that 80, shorty, minus that 80.
19:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, 489. So if you put 489, then it's just denied.
19:11
Speaker 5: You mean to tell me that you lost 80 pounds
19:13
Speaker 5: in two months or whatever, which sounds dangerous, and yet
19:17
Speaker 5: six weeks later, you either lost no weight or gained
19:20
Speaker 5: four pounds.
19:21
Speaker 4: You're lying about the weight loss.
19:23
Speaker 5: That or she lost some weight from taking laxatives and
19:25
Speaker 5: gained it right back after a few days of eating.
19:27
Speaker 5: But really, she is so unsure about the specific numbers
19:30
Speaker 5: that I think she's making this all up. And I
19:32
Speaker 5: think she's lying about basically everything.
19:35
Speaker 7: What did you used to shop at when you were younger?
19:36
Speaker 7: Lane Bryant?
19:37
Speaker 3: No, I never. I don't shop at big people places.
19:41
Speaker 7: Do you get mad at the clothing stores? No, I don't. Okay.
19:44
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm so mad about that Lyft driver who wouldn't
19:47
Speaker 5: let me into his car that I filed a lawsuit
19:49
Speaker 5: against the company.
19:50
Speaker 4: But clothes stores not making stuff of my size? That's fine.
19:54
Speaker 5: Like I said, it's a grift, and I hope she
19:56
Speaker 5: gets countersued into oblivion for this. Now, since we're talking
19:59
Speaker 5: about obesity, a popular narrative today is that obesity.
20:03
Speaker 4: Is not a choice.
20:04
Speaker 5: I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more. However, for a
20:07
Speaker 5: lot of people, it's not as simple as just putting
20:10
Speaker 5: the fork down. There are other problems they have to
20:12
Speaker 5: solve first before it becomes easy to not stuff their face,
20:15
Speaker 5: and a lot of this channel has been dedicated to
20:17
Speaker 5: discussing some of those things. But one of the things
20:20
Speaker 5: that I haven't discussed that I think is going to
20:21
Speaker 5: be a major topic in the coming years as more
20:24
Speaker 5: research comes out is people's gut biome and how that
20:27
Speaker 5: affects their eating habits. At the moment, there are already
20:29
Speaker 5: people like this dentist seeing weird stuff like how brushing
20:32
Speaker 5: your teeth can treat arthritis.
20:34
Speaker 9: If you have really bad rheumatoid arthritis, you have pretty
20:37
Speaker 9: bad gum disease. And if you treat your rheumatoid arthritis,
20:40
Speaker 9: your gum disease will get better. And vice versa. If
20:43
Speaker 9: you treat the gum disease, your rheumatoid arthritis will get better.
20:47
Speaker 9: So I had a patient who was sent to me
20:48
Speaker 9: by her functional medicine practitioner. And she had been seen
20:53
Speaker 9: by four or five different practitioners. She had terrible rheumatoid
20:57
Speaker 9: arthritis and she went to the spinal guy and he
21:01
Speaker 9: was the first guy to ever ask her, have you
21:03
Speaker 9: ever had your teeth checked? So he sent her to
21:05
Speaker 9: me and he was like, can you do your saliva
21:07
Speaker 9: stuff that you do and see if there's anything going
21:10
Speaker 9: on there? And we did do a saliva test. We
21:12
Speaker 9: saw that she had super high levels of inflammation, of
21:15
Speaker 9: collagen breakdown, high levels of bad bacteria. And what was
21:20
Speaker 9: The most important was that when I treated her gum disease,
21:23
Speaker 9: she had terrible gum disease, and that's why she was
21:25
Speaker 9: losing her teeth. When I treated the gum disease properly
21:28
Speaker 9: and aggressively, yes, her gums healed, but more importantly, her
21:32
Speaker 9: rheumatoid arthritis got better to the point where she was
21:35
Speaker 9: actually able to get off steroids and medication and be
21:38
Speaker 9: able to walk again.
21:39
Speaker 5: There are a number of things that were discussed on
21:41
Speaker 5: that podcast that your mouth bacteria affects, so I highly
21:44
Speaker 5: recommend people listen to it. But what I'm getting at
21:47
Speaker 5: here is that I've noticed that you can actually control
21:49
Speaker 5: your food cravings by taking care of your oral hygiene.
21:52
Speaker 5: And the people I'm talking about are people who constantly
21:54
Speaker 5: feel like this.
21:55
Speaker 7: It is a mental battle to not order a pizza
22:00
Speaker 7: every second of the day.
22:01
Speaker 5: I think for people who are as big as the
22:03
Speaker 5: Lyft lady, it's literally like that. Their brain is constantly
22:06
Speaker 5: telling them to eat, and that's how they get to
22:08
Speaker 5: the point where they're 500 pounds. They can resist that,
22:11
Speaker 5: but the more they say no, the harder it becomes
22:13
Speaker 5: to not order pizza, so it's very difficult for them
22:16
Speaker 5: to be able to hold onto a diet long enough
22:18
Speaker 5: to drop 300 plus pounds. It would be much easier
22:21
Speaker 5: if you simply didn't have the cravings, and that's where
22:23
Speaker 5: gut biome and oral hygiene come in. Full disclosure, I
22:27
Speaker 5: don't really have much science behind this. This is just
22:29
Speaker 5: something I've observed through personal experimentation, which is why I've
22:33
Speaker 5: been reluctant to say in prior videos on obesity. However,
22:36
Speaker 5: the reason I think these people can't stop eating is
22:39
Speaker 5: because their body is full of bad bacteria that crave
22:42
Speaker 5: sugar and is constantly telling them to eat. The way
22:45
Speaker 5: you stop those cravings is to kill the bacteria. There
22:48
Speaker 5: are a number of ways to do this, and I'll
22:50
Speaker 5: put more specific instructions on screen, but to kill this bacteria,
22:54
Speaker 5: you first make sure that you get your regular dental cleanings,
22:57
Speaker 5: then daily you're going to floss, brush your teeth with toothpaste,
23:01
Speaker 5: and then most importantly, with a different toothbrush, you're going
23:04
Speaker 5: to brush your tongue with baking soda until all the
23:06
Speaker 5: white-slash-yellow stuff is gone. I do this between two and
23:10
Speaker 5: three times a day, and if I'm on a diet
23:12
Speaker 5: and have a strong craving for junk food or stuff
23:14
Speaker 5: that I shouldn't be eating, then doing this destroys that craving.
23:18
Speaker 5: I imagine that this is what taking Ozempic is like.
23:20
Speaker 5: Of course, there are some caveats to making sure that
23:23
Speaker 5: your cravings stay reduced. When you're dieting, do not eat
23:26
Speaker 5: processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. Those will increase cravings. So
23:31
Speaker 5: will very sugary fruits like apples and bananas. Personally, I
23:34
Speaker 5: try to stay as close to keto as I can
23:36
Speaker 5: when I diet. Also, if you brush your tongue and
23:38
Speaker 5: then drink coffee right after, the bad bacteria and cravings
23:42
Speaker 5: seem to come right back, so I would highly recommend
23:44
Speaker 5: that you do not drink coffee or energy drinks while
23:47
Speaker 5: you're dieting. Organic green tea appears to be fine, though.
23:50
Speaker 5: Of course, if you want extra information or if you're
23:53
Speaker 5: on medications or something and want to make sure that
23:55
Speaker 5: these recommendations are safe for you, then talk to your
23:57
Speaker 5: doctor or your dentist. Outside of that, if you still
24:00
Speaker 5: have strong cravings that make it difficult to stay on
24:02
Speaker 5: your diet, then work stress and life stress are also
24:05
Speaker 5: huge factors that make people want to overeat or binge.
24:08
Speaker 5: You might want to start reorganizing your life to make
24:10
Speaker 5: it less stressful, or take on fewer responsibilities if you're overworking,
24:14
Speaker 5: or figure out how to do things more efficiently. You'd
24:17
Speaker 5: be surprised how much faster you can learn to do
24:19
Speaker 5: things with a little internet research. Anyway, thanks for watching,
24:23
Speaker 5: follow me on Twitter, and I'll see you in the
24:26
Speaker 5: next video.
