  Speaker 2: my wife. So we're both going to the gym together.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Good for you doing It's almost every day now, so
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: we're doing really well.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What do you mostly do yourself?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Great?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, cardio and then a waits a few.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Days a week. What's your cardio of choice?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: We're doing the recumbent bike.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It's a recumbent bike. I do not even know.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Basically, it's a sit down bicycle. Okay, So I'm doing
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that and I do about forty five minutes to an hour.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Wow, Joe. Joe might know the answer to this because
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: he does a lot of exercise. What what is? Because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I see these all over the place. What's the in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: theory advantage of a bicycle where you're sitting as opposed
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to sitting up on top of them?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: It's easier on your prostate for one thing, I don't
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: imagine the lovely missus Michael is worried about that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So you get all the benefits of the peddling without
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: sitting on that tiny little seat and bent over. Yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: more uncomfortable. It makes sense.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I always I was always an elliptical man, because you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: it works all sorts of body groups, these legs, your corey,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: your arms while getting your heart rate up. But my
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: back doctor doesn't my trainer guy doesn't want me to
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: doing that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I got a great elliptical machine in my living room.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I mean a really top notch from a gym elliptical machine.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: It's so I give you ten bucks for it is
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: supposed to use it being used as an elliptical or
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: a clothing rack.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I've had it for seven years. I've probably cumulative been
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on it eleven minutes in seven years.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That's that's significantly more than a minute a year though,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: So that's pretty good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And you got to build up from that, use that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: as as starting place, and then right next year try
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to get on it for two minutes. Oh yeah, you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: don't want to hurt yourself back to.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Two minutes for the whole year, right, Yes, So.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I can do treadmill anymore because of the ulster that
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I had from diabetes to my foot. It is healed up.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: But they're a little bit worried that if I keep
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: pounding on, it'll reopen. So I just wish to recumbent.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, welcome to Ulcer Talk.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: So no, so my wife and I we know anything.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Else it's about to open back up again? Or can
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we move on to now? We're all good?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Label this podcast? Joe disavows. It's the matter with you people.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So the wife and I are at Costco and mind you,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we've been working out, okay, and we see somebody that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: we recognize that we used to go to the gym with,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and we hadn't seen her for about eight or nine months.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And we look and we say, is that such and such?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And I go, I think it is. So I walk
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: over there and I go are you? And she goes, hey,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: how's it going? And she recognizes my wife and I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and she looks fantastic. Wow, I mean, her body is amazing.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And it's just like, well, now here's what happened.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So I say, hey, her body on a hold on.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't say it quite that way. I said, that's
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: such and such. I said, wow, she looks like she's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of weight. And my wife says, yeah, yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: she has it looks like And then so she comes
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: over and she starts talking to us and says, hey, guys,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: how's it going, and you know, good good? So are
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you still going the gym? I guess you've been doing
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: gym working stuff. She goes, oh, no, I've quit the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: gym completely. I'm doing I'm doing injections now, and she's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: doing the ozembic and something else that she's I was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: nauseous for like eight months, She's all, but it's finally
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: gone away, and I've been able to eat junk, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I've lost all this weight. And she looked incredible,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: but at the same time she was saying, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I can he junk. I don't have to go to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the gym anymore. And my wife and I are looking
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: at each other because we're working so hard. Yeah, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: our progress is so slow.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Right, there's a combination of it. It is hard, it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: time consuming, and it is slow.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: But the way you guys are doing it is sustainable.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: This ozempic stuff. I mean, you hear all the stories
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: about as soon as people get off of it, they
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: balloon back even more.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We what if you just stay on it though the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: rest of your life.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: It's expensive, of course, I've known plenty of people me
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: who've dieted and exercised and lost a lot of weight
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and then the same thing happens. Yeah, right, you claim,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you may claim it's sustainable.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But right, I've done that. So what am I talking about? Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the fact almost everybody regains their weight back, I mean statistically,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not just ozempic you can do. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: can do the good hard workout every day, eat right,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and gain it back like like ninety percent of people do.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: On the other hand, so Michael Angelo, do you have
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: a point of view? Are you advocating for the injection
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: or the pill or something.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: That's what this is about. Actually, I was asking my wife.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know, she walked away and I looked at my
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: wife and I said.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: After watching her ask I went right, damn, yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: She did look good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I gotta admit, look at that. Now.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: My wife she's all, I know what you saw, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I'm all, yeah, yeah, I know. But I said, we're
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: doing it slow, but I'm happy with what we're doing. Yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And we are talking on the way home, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: should we try that? And then she said no, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I do not want to be monocious for eight months?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Right, Well, putting that aside, though I see the appeal
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: end or value of losing the weight more quickly. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: don't forget your heart, your lungs, your bones, your muscles,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: everything is benefiting from this, whereas that gal's just skinnier.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Right, That's what I told you is an excellent point,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: right there. Joe Getty throws in and.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you so much.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And your brain, from something I was just reading about,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: really helps you. Exercising is so good for your brain
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and holding off dementia and all these different sorts of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: things that those zimpias or whatever it's called is not
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: going to help with. But I can certainly understand that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: because like right now, I'm not exercising, uh as much
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as i'd like to, but i am. I've been very
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: disciplined eating wise now for about three weeks, and it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a freaking battle all day every day. I mean, it's NonStop,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: every moment you're awake to be just I'm trying to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get back to used to being hungry, because it feels
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to me like, if you're gonna lose weight, you just
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: got to get used to being hungry all the time.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Agreed. Yeah, Now, the other day when you were constantly
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: on the verge of vomiting. I'll bet you didn't overeat,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: did you? One more vote for Ozepic.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's interesting in the middle of my uh eating well,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that I had that spell. But anyway, yeah, I can
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: understand why they'd be frustrating, because eating right is a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: pain constantly the time of exercising the effort, and then
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you run into somebody looks better and they're not. They're
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: just taking an injection. That's a that's a mind f
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: feel pardon the expression.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And she was bragging basically, she's saying, you know, I mean,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in a way, she was kind of saying, yeah, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: don't do what you guys do anymore. Look what I look,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: what I look like, and I just take pills or whatever.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: None of my business. I really don't advocate the eating
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: crap just because the injection's helping keep it off.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Now, on the flip side to this, I know someone
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: who is taking one of these injections and it's not
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: working because she hasn't changed any of her habits. And
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I think this stuff is just you know, it affects
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: everybody differently. But I mean, she's been on it for
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: months and it's you know, certain habits, you have to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: cut and you have to work out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: For some people, well, I feel like you ought to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: be willing to give something to the project, not just
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: rely on on the chemicals.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: You're giving your hard earned paycheck to the drug. But
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: there is a drug.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: But there is a bit of discussing this like it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a moral issue, which kind of like seeps into your
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: brain for no good reason, like one is somehow against
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: morality and one is the right way to do it
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: or something. There's a total stigma against them.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: If you look online, if you see anybody on line
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: who's is showing, oh, look at my weight loss. If
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: you go into the comments, guaranteed within the first five.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Somebody's like, oh ozempic right, all of them. Also, you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: don't get toned up at all on ozempic. I assume
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: so your weight came off, because I know somebody actually
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lost a tremendous amount of weight recently and they got
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: some weird skin flabby stuff happening. Is a post if
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you lost and they lost it really fast, if you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: lost it slower and you're working out, and I know
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: what you're saying about the morality thing, and it's hard
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to put your finger on. I'd have to mull it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: over for a bit. But there's the question of your
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: doing it the natural way or the unnatural way. On
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the other hand, if I have some sort of rampant
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: bacterial infection, if penicillin's the unnatural way, give me the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: unnatural one. Nice. You know, I don't believe in modern medicine.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's cheating. Also, that's why I got two
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: teeth quite a sight. I think, well, if this, if
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: they if they figure out this ozempic stuff to where
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: it works for most people, doesn't make you sick. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to get over this. One's cheating ones,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: not just from a being that overweight is not good
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, yeah. I wonder they'll probably fine tune the
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: chemistry and the dosage and that sort of thing. I
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: wonder if you can, like the equivalent of microdose it
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: and just you know, a bit of an appetite suppressant,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: like the speed the ladies took in the fifties and sixties,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: that sort of thing. You don't have to be a
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: full on meth head, just just a little pick me up,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: a mother's little helpers. The Rolling Stones put it so entertaining. Yeah, dabble,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I'm dabbling in the world of stimulants.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife asked me if she said, if that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: pill was healthy, She's all, would you want me on it?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Knowing that I could look like her, and then I
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and then she looked at me and gave me the look,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and I was sort of like, how did I answer this?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I'm giving you the look and I'm not your wife.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: You better answer that correctly.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Is this the show that airs after the Bachelorette or something?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: It's starting to get that feel.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You didn't at any point say break me off a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: piece of that, did you. No? No, I didn't.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: That's cool, thank god. Yes.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, No, I answered the right way. I said, no,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I like what we're doing, and we're gonna keep doing
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: what we're doing, and I like doing it as a couple.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So that's that was my answer to her.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: No, that was that last part. Now, that was some
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: good relationship talk, right there. A couple, that's that's a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that's a yeah, that's for the win.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
