0:00 [Music] Welcome to another episode of the careful boys where right now ompic is facing a $2 billion in loss. >> I saw this dude $2 billion. >> Why? Cuz a lot of people didn't get lose weight after taking it and they're like this >> work. >> Dude, we were talking about this ages ago. Remember? >> Well, what what was it you guys were talking about? >> We did a video about you were here. >> Yeah. But like we did a video about Ozic where we were like Well, no. At the time, we were we Nick was like, it's very interesting that finally there's something on the market that is saying there's no long-term side effects >> and then we're like, I guess we'll see. >> Yeah. Because also too, I know a lot of people that I don't want to say abuse OMIC, but they'll hop on it just to lose like 10 lbs. Especially like some some

0:50 people will do that, you know, and it is common because it is like a it is like a magical weight loss drug in a lot of ways. >> Oh, to lose 10 pounds is you're a loser. >> That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy work. Like when I heard Drake was on Ompic, it's like, "Bro, Drake, why are you on OPIC, dude? >> You don't need OPIC. Just go to ████ just go to England. >> Go get a trainer organize that ab surgery." >> Yeah, bro. It's like, what? Dude, what are you doing? You literally have everything at your fingertips and don't bring food. >> Yeah. Go to a ████ pagan wedding in the forest. >> By the way, people are doing that ab surgery thing. >> Yeah. And that's crazy. >> It's really funny with people who >> couple of people that did it. Imagine, imagine the the like the recovery of getting ab implants. >> Dude, you're probably on bed rest. >> The new one is it's basically like lipo, but specifically contoured around the areas that have fat hovering just above your abdominal muscles. It's funny

1:41 because then you'll still Yeah. You'll still have like love handles and then you'll randomly have like >> ████ weird. Oscar de la Hoya did it >> cuz her arms aren't cut. Nothing is cut. And then they have abs, but then if you press the abs, they're also going to be soft still because you have fat over over the abs. >> When I saw Oscar de la Hoya do it, it's like, dude, what is up with you? >> What do you get? Lipo suction. >> Is he he's a little bit >> he's for sure. >> He also does coke and he wears women's clothes and ████ He's crazy. >> Well, maybe maybe he'll get a BBL next. >> That would honestly make that I wouldn't be mad at that. >> I wouldn't be mad at that. What's the lawsuit? Yeah. What's with the lawsuit? Wait, wait. Now, now I'm googling uh Oscar De La Hoya's ab etching >> and like he's in good shape, right? So, it's like, >> well, he's a professional athlete. Like, you have gotten there many times. Why

2:31 would you >> just get on TRT or something? >> What the heck? >> I don't know if that's any better. >> That just looks like an armadillo. >> That doesn't look like they're unnatural. That looks like regular. >> I think that's ab edging. >> But when you when you see it like when he starts like moving his body, it looks weird, you know? Like it it looks like there's no movement. And it looks super like painted on. Looks like action figure. >> Like those guys that go to the beach in those funny shirts. >> That's what it looks like. >> Funny. >> So, Zepic uh is facing $2 billion in lawsuits. Uh where it's over 1,800 lawsuits in US courts with damages possibly topping $2 billion. Patients alleged that the drug caused stomach paralysis, vision loss, and other severe complications not clearly warranted. >> What's stomach paralysis? >> Your pro your your um your colon probably doesn't work as well anymore. So, like you eat food and instead of going down, it just stays there. >> Yeah, cuz like what Osepic does, it kind

3:21 of slows down your digestion. >> That's crazy. >> I thought it just makes you not hungry. >> Well, it's that too. That's what makes you >> That's a side effect of slowing down your digestion. >> And it's Yeah, it fasttracks it. But it's it's meant for people who are morbidly obese because when you're morbidly obese, your your your uh appetite regulation is just way higher than a normal person. And they're originally approved to treat type 2 diabetes, but they became popular for weight loss because that would suppress their appetite and help regulate blood sugar. >> You guys watch Doctor Now? >> What's that? >> He's the guy that talks like this and he goes, "Maybe you should you should stop eating." >> The guy always like brutally like >> Yeah. They're like really fat. He like obliterates big women. Yeah. >> He's like the Middle Eastern doctor, right? Yeah. Yeah. I've seen the clips of him. >> But it's it's brutally honest. >> It's super sad cuz like most of the people on those shows, they're not like a lie. >> Yeah. Majority of them like they're

4:11 they're like some of them die like during filming. >> But I'm I'm like Ozic is like made for those kind of folks, right? If you're 500 lb plus and you need some gigantic, it's probably not good to take it. >> Yeah, there's probably there's probably going to be some And also too, it's like once and I've seen this with certain clients where they were on it, they lost a ton of weight and then they stopped it and then guess what happens? their eating habits go completely back to what they were before or they have like more disordered eating >> where I knew someone who like you know started drinking a ton of alcohol afterwards and then they gain the weight back cuz that kind of bypasses the appetite right so you could consume a ton of calories and then you gain and absorb a ton of weight and it's not the good weight it's like pure body fat right so it's like it gets really scary >> I don't know how people can get that big and like still be alive like I mean they

5:03 eventually die real quick, but I'm saying like I if I gain a little bit of weight, I already got sleep apnnea. I feel sick. And that's with me just being 30, 40 lbs. Like that's not even hundreds. These ████ are like >> 600 >> and they're still okay. >> Well, >> well, not okay, but I'm saying like they're still alive. like like things that they got to run into is like that that you don't it's not ████ nice to put on TV shows and laugh about or whatever the ████ is things like sepsis >> cuz they can't reach wiping their ████ So, they need to go get like those ████ basically like toilet scrubber type stuff and they got to like reach and do crazy things or get assistance. You don't talk about it cuz like that's not the glorious side of >> not being able to reach around, >> dude. This guy, his dad got a kitty pool, like a big kiddie pool, and he was

5:53 taking a bath in there, and then um he for some reason he was using dish soap to scrub them. So I was like, what? You could just use Dove like why do you have ████ Palm Olive and ████ and he's pouring that on his son? >> Maybe it's cheaper. >> Yeah, it's probably cheaper in bulk. >> More bubbles. >> Yeah, more suns. >> More bubbles from a little bit. >> I like the suns. Like I can use two tablespoons of Palm Olive. I'm going to have to use this ████ whole thing of ████ Head and Shoulders. >> Spent mad money on Ompic. >> Yeah, >> dude. I have >> I I know somebody very close in the family that used OMIC >> and lost weight real fast and was like, "Holy s███." And then it now looks exactly the same as preompic. >> You know what's sad? ████ schools will prescribe it, too. Schools. So, you know how like uh you know you got like

6:43 PE or whatever and then like when you're in PE they'll do like those national standardized stretching tests see where your body is at and if you're like a little bit on the heavier side instead of like hey you should be active more or let's just change what's going on in the PE program they'll like hey ask your parents about Ozmpic and you could be under >> it's crazy >> a kid. >> Yeah. >> Come on. >> Did you see that? Aren't they bringing back the presidential fitness test? >> I think that's good. >> What's that? It was like a standardized thing where like kids had to reach a specific like physicality or like fitness. >> We had it when we were in uh junior high. >> I think it's important to have standards like that. Like there should be >> Yeah. But then they took it away. They were like, "No, all the kids can be fat. It's cool." >> So it was uh otherwise known as the President's Challenge uh program designed to assess and encourage physical fitness among American youth. Introduced in the 1950s and involved a series of exercises and those who

7:33 achieved high scores were eligible for an award. The test was discontinued in 2012 and replaced with the presidential youth fitness program, but it was reinstated by Trump this year. >> Components. The original test included a onem run, pull-ups or push-ups, sit-ups, a shuttle run, and the sit and reach test. >> I remember doing >> I remember the sit and reach. >> Yeah. Hell yeah. >> I didn't know that was a part of it. I just probably like this PE. >> Yeah. I just thought it was regular PE. I didn't know it was anything to do with government. >> If you want to have a healthier nation or a stronger nation, you got to start with a healthier one. Maybe they should up the reps like >> Yeah, cuz it's still pretty low. It's like this. >> They should just like accept everyone and make planes bigger. >> We're running out of space. >> That's the craziest thing. They're like Hilton is fat phobic because the hallways are so thin. >> Yeah. >> Well, that means ████ Asian construction phobic.

8:24 >> But that's like literal construction code. >> Make the walls wire. >> Yeah. Like what what do obese people do when they go to Japan? >> I know. I don't think they go to Japan. >> Oh ████ You think there's like internal Reddit threads where like Facebook groups or like don't go to Japan? It's very very difficult. I bet. Yeah. Cuz you know Americans we are really good at being victims you know so we blame it. >> Yeah. We we take our cultures to every other country and be like you should be like us. >> And I feel like Asia is not PC. So if you walk in they'll just be like hey you're too big for this place. They'll just straight up say it. >> Or they'll laugh they'll laugh at you. They'll be like, "Wow, look at how ████ fat that dude is." >> Culture is really good at fashion. >> Don't they have like restaurants in Japan where it says Japanese only, please? >> Yep. No fat ████ allowed. Not fat ████ in Japanese. >> It's cuz they don't want to speak

9:14 English. >> Yeah. They can't. They just say like, "We're not even going to try." >> Oh, that's that's for sure 100 on like a lot of the u certain types of clubs where you like pay to like talk to girls. >> Oh, yeah. So, they won't they won't let um if you don't speak Japanese, you can't go inside because the girls can't make money talking because they don't speak English. >> You know what's controversial that's happening now though is you know how there's a ████ ton of tourists because the yen's low. >> Yan's low. >> Now they're they're like we used to serve you guys but ████ you guys and then now they have these like Japanese only because so it used to be open to the public but now they're like Japanese only. >> I don't really blame them. >> Japanese night. >> Yeah, I don't blame them >> in Japan. And people are getting mad because there's like certain places is like low uh local price and someone's like >> American price. So like >> they they did that like before. I would get a English menu and then my mom has a

10:05 Japanese menu and we're like why the ████ is the price different? And my mom would ask and they're like oh it's because we charge tourists more. Like they'll tell her that straight up. And I was like oh ████ >> Oh yeah. You got to you got to work harder here. >> Yeah that's not a problem. I we we we had a client that went to Japan for a vacation and she was telling us that she was at the KFC and there was an American woman and she was at the she was ordering and she goes, "Um, do you guys have no sodium options?" And the Japanese lady was like, she had no idea what the ████ she was talking about. And then the lady started getting really ████ caused a whole scene about like having no like low sodium options. And it's like, you can't even do that in America. It's ████ KFC. What are you talking about? And the fact that you go to Japan and go do that, like I don't blame the Japanese people to be like, "Yo, ████ you. Get out of here." Cuz that's ridiculous. >> And I mean, we do that ████ with like Disneyland SoCal residents get cheaper passes. Like >> locals get discounts discount Vegas. You

10:57 don't have to pay for parking. >> Yeah. >> Especially when the dollar so strong over there things. So there it's 2 billion because of the stomach paralysis, vision loss. >> Yeah. Cuz you're you have like eye rotting, right? >> Eye rotting. >> Yeah. I if it's the same thing that W goi and like GLP1's do they people are uh experiencing eye rotting on one side >> that's ████ >> I wonder how many people >> and it's irreversible it's kind of helped though cuz like >> look there there is a a huge positive side but I think it goes with like the lifestyle part it's like the people that do the oepic as like a way to get the ball rolling to lose weight and to like enter this lifestyle fitness and and like cleaner eating like I think that's a great thing and that does that does help a lot of But then there's more people that will abuse it because it is it's so like dude when I see him commercials or hers commercials and they have GOP ones I'm

11:48 like yo that's crazy. >> What's a GOP one? >> Uh it was epic. >> It's a type of medicine. >> It's like that style. >> But they are coming out with different they're on like GOP 5 and six now you know so it will get better. But at the same time it's like what are those side effects? >> So is it like saying like ibuprofen but there's different brands. So OMPIC is the brand. So GOP one and five or whatever. So those are the type of I see >> Mar. >> I don't know. But the best phrase I ever heard for stuff like this is behavioral problems need behavioral solutions. >> Yeah, that's true. >> So if you want long-term, like if you got yourself from 150 to like 250, >> you need to get yourself from 250 back to 150 if you want to maintain it. But if you want to go here's a pill and not do the lifestyle change, nothing's going to be long. Was it was a subscription model subscription model inside of it

12:39 that keeps people on it >> thousands of dollars. >> But was it originally for like emergency? So like let's say you're 600 lb type 2 diabetes like it was like a blood. But then people that are like, "Oh, I want to lose like 10 lbs." They're starting to take it and it's not meant for them. It's meant for like the the last resort. >> Uh you're about to die. You need to take Ozmpic. >> We know some people that are taking it and they're like, you know, they make a lot of money. They're like CEOs of like giant corporations and they're taking it and they're not doing anything else. They're not losing weight but they're still continuing to take it. >> Damn. >> Wait, they're not losing weight. >> Yeah, because you know like after a while you have to like either if your eating habits don't change. Some people's like they they overwrite it, you know, like they find a way to some >> maybe they're not losing weight but they take everything now they eat whatever they want and they're just like I'm not gaining weight. >> Exactly. Exactly. So they just stay on

13:29 it for a really long time. >> Invest gaining rather than lose. Yeah. Damn. >> That's rough. But you always roll the dice when you take medications like that. You >> I've done crack and ecstasy. But these things scare me. >> But when you do it for a longer period of time, I think that's when it gets a little squirly cuz you're not supposed to do it for a >> and they're not going to not sell it to you. I think that's the worst part. >> And they're so like what Bart said, they're so quick to suggesting it right off the jump. Especially when you're 20 years old, you're young and it's like, yeah, if you are young and you could get put on the right fitness program or whatever, you could make those changes pretty easily. Like it does take time. >> Yeah. They're not looking at your problems. They're looking at a new subscriber, >> bro. It's a dream model for big pharma. >> Oh my god. Yeah.
