Motherfucking mini episode. Mini episode. Motherfucking mini episode.
Langston Kerman
When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call There it is. There it is. Ladies and gentleme Ladies gentlemen, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told.
David Borey
Me the podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories.
Langston Kerman
And we finally work to prove the theories that you, the listeners, have at home. It's a motherfucking mini episode Motherfucking mini episode.
David Borey
Come on. I'm glad to see you back. Just glad to see my man on top.
Langston Kerman
We Back, baby. We back. I'm Langston Kerman.
David Borey
I'm David Bore.
Langston Kerman
And we were here to read some emails to talk some shit about what y'all have to talk about. And we got a really exciting email that has already prompted a fair amount of discussion between you, me and Olivia. Yeah, it was a email from a person named Valerie. Valerie sent us an email. They started very formally. Gentlemen, I love it. I like that. It feels respectful. Valerie, thank you. Valerie said, big fan of the pod and thank you for the double dose of fun each week. I saw a famous comedian this past weekend who was shockingly thinner than he appeared in any of his past HBO specials. He started the show by talking about his long journey to get his current physique. Regardless of the particulars of this situation, I'd be curious to hear what your thoughts are on the fierce denials regarding the use of Ozempic versus doing the work for those in the public eye. Thank not. Thanks, thank Valerie. Well, let's start this way because I am now curious. Ozempic gets offered to you. They come to you and they say, david, we see a lot of potential in you, we know you're hilarious, but we think there might be a very thin leading man under there. Will you take our miracle drug and free yourself or rather experience a different version of yourself? Would you buy in? Are you into that?
David Borey
No, no, I like. I do well enough that I could figure out a way to get it now. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not like a no, it's just not my get down. But I'm not really for any of that. I mean, we've talked about it, you know, so I personally would not know.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I'm so fearful of drugs in general, especially ones that like promise a cure for something that frankly didn't necessarily need curing. It makes me nervous. Obviously, Ozempic has a purpose. It was a diabetes medication first and foremost. It just has this odd side effect. And it's not so much a side effect, but this odd payoff that it causes people to lose dramatic amounts of weight as a result of taking it. And so in that way I just know unless I have a reason to take this drug, I don't wanna put it in my body.
David Borey
Same. I mean, if there's one thing I've had to learn from hitting my head up against it in general in life, cheating doesn't work. Yeah, it just like regardless of what the scenario, the desired results are, never. It never. It just doesn't work, man. Yeah, it's like, not worth wasting your time like this, like scamming and all that shit. It just doesn't, it doesn't work, man.
Langston Kerman
I listened to a, an article on the, I listened to a podcast, the Daily, every once in a while and they did an episode about Ozempic and they were saying that, number one, which I think a lot of people don't realize, number one, to be able to maintain the weight loss, you have to continue to take the drug. It's not, oh, you take it for six months and then the weight sheds and you get to keep living like that. If you stop taking Ozempic, you start gaining the weight back or at least, you know, your body recalibrates to the way that it was. Presuming you haven't done major lifestyle changes to be able to maintain what that is.
David Borey
Well, I mean, sometimes even if you have though, right, Some people's resting weight is kind of just higher. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
We're not all going to be Brad Pitt in Fight Club. And that just is a fact. Even if you did as much work as he did to be able to get to that form, some of us.
David Borey
Are going to be Brad Pitt and the river runs through it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Was he in that? He is in that.
Langston Kerman
I, I think you have to keep taking the drug. But the other thing that the article sort of talked about or the, the podcast sort of talked about was that there are a lot of examples of people who have had like major fucked up side effects to taking these drugs that like, one person in particular, they were talking about who started taking Ozempic and now has permanent diarrhea from every. I don't mean that every single poop for the rest of her life they think is going to come out as diarrhea because she just, it did not work like she lost weight, but it just has made her very, very sick and cannot keep taking it. But now her shit is just ruined.
David Borey
Oof. That's like. I don't know, man. I think I'm fine anyway, so it doesn't seem worth it to me. I. It seems indicative of a greater problem, right? Yeah, like, and then to the cause, like, it's clearly pretty widespread, right?
Langston Kerman
Widespread in what sense?
David Borey
I think that a lot of famous people are on that shit.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I mean, we were talking about.
David Borey
It, we were saying names offline.
Langston Kerman
We were naming names offline of people we think. And Olivia was naming names and I was naming names and, and you were laughing at all the names. I don't think you named anybody.
David Borey
Because I live in Colorado, man. I Would love to be close to the glitterati who's Ozempic dub.
Langston Kerman
But I will say, yes, it does seem to have a little bit of a ubiquitous quality now where it is anywhere and everywhere in Hollywood.
David Borey
And I guess I don't do what you want to do. I guess the lying about it is probably what the big issue is with it, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Because it's like you're a role model to people whether or not you would like to be. So for you to be like, no, I just started going on walks. It's like, ah, man, that's fucked.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think I take a lot of issue with the lying as well. I think a lot about, like, Anthony Anderson, right? Who.
David Borey
Big head now.
Langston Kerman
Big head now. But part of that was because he actually did have to take the medication. He's a diabetic. This is medication built for him. He started taking it. He lost a ton of weight. That's just the way it is. But then there are people who are pretending that they aren't taking the Ozempic and it just would be cooler if they were just like, yo, I didn't like the way I looked. This has been extremely helpful, but I also have enough money and resources to make sure that I'm doing it in a healthy, manageable way. And I wouldn't encourage, you know, a random person off the street to go this route without having, you know, the right doctors and sort of, like, nutritionists to support their journey.
David Borey
Yeah, I mean, I think that's more reasonable than anything. Like, do you think all these people would do it if they weren't so much in the limelight? Because, like, people on the Internet can be cruel. And, like, I take no. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. The idea of it trickling down to normal people is, I guess, my worry with it being dangerous.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I mean, I will say that. Yes. I don't think I'm speaking out of turn because the speculation around her is pretty wide. But, like, Mindy Kaling is a great example of, like, somebody who has been accused of taking Ozempic has obviously made, like, this massive physical transformation. She used to be a lot thicker. She is not that anymore. And constantly people are saying she's on Ozempic. And, like, not for nothing, when she wasn't on the drug, people made fun of the way that she looked. People, you know, shamed her body or sort of, like, called her frumpy and all the things that they said about her. And so, like, yeah, you create. Even if it's not as many people as we think. Just if I got a message, a single message a day of somebody being like, I don't like the way you look, that would get to me. That would fucking bother me. And the idea that you have millions of followers and a small fraction of a percentage of them are doing it, to say something hurtful to you would kind of make you feel like, well, then I'll. I'll do anything to make this stop. Including take a boo boo drug.
David Borey
Yeah. I think that's also what happens with this idea of like shaming people is that oftentimes the result of shaming someone is not like, oh, I'll just make a healthy lifestyle. It's like, I'll do whatever I can do as fast as I can do.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
To get these. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's not like a great tactic for changing one's life.
Langston Kerman
No. And you look at what the actual, like journey of getting, of changing your physical form is, and it's not fast, it's slow, and it kind of sucks. And the results, even when you're seeing results, don't feel as much like a massive transformation as they feel like sort of like trudging along through a difficult journey. And so like, yeah, if somebody shows up and they're like, bro, I can make all that happen in three months, it's like, well, fuck yeah, I really want that.
David Borey
Yeah. I mean, I. Yeah, like I said, I don't fault these people. Also, this is very funny. Olivia says there's been reporting surprise pregnancies while ozempic.
Langston Kerman
I'm out. Okay. Because it says that this occurs because GLP1 drugs can interfere with how birth control pills are absorbed. So basically it's neutralizing your birth control and getting women pregnant while taking the Ozzie.
David Borey
Is that what people call it?
Langston Kerman
Nah, I don't. I just said that for the first time ever.
David Borey
I thought it was cool. Thanks, man.

David Borey
Everything about it, to me, just the nature of it, the idea that you're gonna have to ticket for your whole life seems terrible. Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, man. At some point, American excess really gets to me. Like, bro, that's crazy.
Langston Kerman
I had to take. I had to take Accutane because I have. I had very sort of like dramatic cystic acne that had been very bad for a long time. And Accutane, for those that are unaware, is. Is as close as we have to a quote unquote, miracle drug as it relates to acne. Like, you take it for like, somewhere between like three to nine months, and by the time you finish, you don't have acne anymore, no matter how bad your acne was. And it's awesome in that way. But it also has a ton of side effects, including. And this is very real, that, like, if you are a woman of any age wanting to take Accutane, they demand that you're on birth control because the likelihood of it causing, like, a birth defect is like, astronomical. Like, the packaging literally, like, shows you. Every package of a pill has a picture of a pregnant woman and a slash through it being like, do not fucking take this drug because it will make your baby look insane like you. They will come out deformed as fuck because of whatever this drug is. And so, like, stuff like that, you know, if you are in a place where you need it, I fully respect the choice. But it. To not acknowledge the dangers and sort of the cost feels irresponsible on all of our ends, I think.
David Borey
And that's ultimately what I take umbrage with. It's not the use of it. It's like, don't lie to people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, no, they should give a real.
David Borey
Exam, a real, true, true assessment of what's going on. Because it's like, that's scary, man. People, birth defects or any. And that's for Accutane specifically. But anything like that is, like, you owe it to people to. To not let that be. Let them be blindsided by that. Obviously, if you're going to take a drug, it is your personal responsibility to look into it, look into the side effects and stuff like that. But a lot of people just don't Care.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And I think to the bigger conversation of also, like, communicating your experiences honestly with other people is how we actually manage to be responsible with these things. You know what I mean? That, like, these commercials are on all the time. Ozempic. The. Oh, oh, oh, Ozempic. That. That's a.
David Borey
Such a good song.
Langston Kerman
But, like, that was out before I even knew what it was. And so if I'm a person susceptible to what's being sold to me on television, then I might find myself taking a medication that might ruin my bowels for the rest of my life, or at the very least, might put me in a position where I accidentally find myself pregnant and needing to make a choice that I didn't want to have to make because that wasn't part of my. My plan. And if people would just say out loud, hey, yes, here are the benefits, but here are all the costs, then we can start to have, as you put it, the more honest conversations.
David Borey
That being said, also not as funny when you're that little.
Langston Kerman
Now we're talking.
David Borey
Now let's get.
Langston Kerman
Now we're really talking. The podcast.
David Borey
Big Old Head.
Langston Kerman
A lot of these motherfuckers ain't as funny when they start losing all that weight.
David Borey
I don't think comedians are supposed to look hot anyways.
Langston Kerman
I don't think so either. And I. Yeah, I don't think we're.
David Borey
Supposed to be rock stars. I think it's, like, it's goofy weirdos. That's why it works.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I want to look at a comedian who I go like, all right, here's where they're fallible physically. This is all the things that I would say about them given the opportunity. And they're so funny that I'm scared to say it about them.
David Borey
Right. Here's where I can take my grain of salt, because there is these people who are not heroes. Don't listen to them. Don't follow them. But I don't know, man. This shit's dumb. I think it's dumb.
Langston Kerman
I don't like when comedians get skinny or, like, too sexy. I don't like when comedians get buff. That's fucking crazy.
David Borey
And it sucks. And this is. And maybe this is coming from a real place. Cause I'm fat. I do love it when comedians get fat.
Langston Kerman
It can be funny for sure.
David Borey
It's pretty hilarious.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's funny if they acknowledge it. It gets sad when they're, like, still talking, like, their skinny selves and pretending like they, like it's part of my annoyance with Chappelle is Like, he won't just be like, hey, my body's crazy now, right?
David Borey
You gotta say something about that. You gotta say something about that.
Langston Kerman
Hey, y'all, I look weird now, right?
David Borey
Yeah. Also the long T shirts, both of those things.
Langston Kerman
I know, I know, I know, I know. But before we get started, look, trans people. We'll get to that. But I look weird, huh? It's almost like I went through a transformation and am struggling with how that feels. So I'm putting that off on people and their sexuality.
David Borey
I don't know, though. Old guy comics, they like showing off their bodies now. Everybody thinks it's cool. No big deal.
Langston Kerman
No, it is. It's crazy.
David Borey
Everybody wants to see you showing your abs, old guy. You know who would be hilarious if he got buff? Tracy Morgan.
Langston Kerman
That would be very funny.
David Borey
That would be the funniest one. If he just came out just, like, ripped. That. You're, like, just thinking about it. That would be a. That would be the best.
Langston Kerman
That would be very funny. I also. I think Bruce. Bruce would be really funny if he came back.
David Borey
He just got ripped.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Because it would only. It would. It would still be like. It would be like Mark Henry. It wouldn't. It would never.
David Borey
I don't think he would be.
Langston Kerman
He's never gonna get to Matt Rife. He's always gonna be sort of like, just giant. And it'd be muscly, sort of strong.
David Borey
Yeah. Which is a cool guy. Also, I do wanna say all bodies are good. I don't know, man. It's like, people get laid at every whatever. You know what I mean? To, like, think that you have to look like these famous people to be valid or whatever. Sucks. You know what I mean? You don't think there's ugly people out here not getting married and. Or fucking. You know what I'm saying?
Langston Kerman
Like, I once did mushrooms with my buddy Ryan, and we were walking around this park, and it was the first time, I think I had ever said out loud of how insane it is that we would even try to standardize a body type that, like, just as I was walking around the park, I was seeing so many different forms of the human body. It was just like. It's crazy that we would, like, want one single person to represent what a body could be like. They're just not. We're not like that. They. We come in every fucking form, and that's okay.
David Borey
I think it's rooted in a lot of stuff. I think it's also, like, specifically size. It's just like, what's Seen as a defect, that it's just visible. You know what I mean? You could see it if somebody's fat. Can't see it if somebody hits their girlfriend or whatever. You know what I'm saying? So I think it's easier to judge. I know a lot of real bad, buff people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's fair.
David Borey
Real demons.
Langston Kerman
I know a lot of people. With them come gutters that ain't treating others right.
David Borey
Yeah. Villainous.
Langston Kerman
So I guess, Valerie, as it relates to this question of whether or not Ozempic is everywhere, it seems to be. It seems that comedians and all. Comedians and actors and performers of all kinds are taking the drugs. But maybe that's okay. Maybe it's just for them to decide for themselves. And more importantly, it's for you at home to decide for yourself if that's something you feel necessary. And we would encourage you to maybe just really focus on the cool shit that you already have going more than looking outward at a bunch of sick, sick people who need attention.
David Borey
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's.
David Borey
They're already doing standup comedy. They're losers.
Langston Kerman
They're not a good example for any good. Any choice whatsoever.
David Borey
Some stuff is just funny. It's not anything else.
Langston Kerman
Nope.
David Borey
It's not to be modeled after. It's not to be looked at. It's just funny.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And I think a lot of comedians are just funny and terrible, terrible human beings. So don't be like us and a.
David Borey
Surprisingly larger amount aren't even that funny. Entertainment. Yeah. Also, I know, I know that you didn't write this email saying that you have body images. She truly just like, hey, I saw this guy look weird. What do you guys think about it?
Langston Kerman
That's fair. Yeah. She didn't need our encouragement. But just in case you did or somebody who's listening does. We like you the way you are.
David Borey
Stupid.
Langston Kerman
Stupid. You stupid idiot.
David Borey
You dummy. With that being said, Langston, do you want to tell the people where they can find you and what cool shit you have going on?

Podcast Summary: "The Land of OZempic: Motherf*ckin Mini Episode (RE-RELEASE)"
Podcast Information:
The episode kicks off with hosts Langston Kerman and David Borey presenting a "Motherf*ckin Mini Episode," setting the tone for an unfiltered and candid discussion. They introduce the topic of Ozempic, a medication originally designed for diabetes but widely recognized for its significant weight loss side effects.
Langston begins by expressing his apprehension towards drugs like Ozempic, highlighting its primary purpose and the unintended dramatic weight loss it causes:
Langston Kerman [05:02]: "Ozempic has a purpose. It was a diabetes medication first and foremost. It just has this odd side effect... people to lose dramatic amounts of weight as a result of taking it."
David echoes similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of natural efforts over shortcuts:
David Borey [05:40]: "Cheating doesn't work. Regardless of the scenario, the desired results never... it's not worth wasting your time like this."
The conversation shifts to the prevalence of Ozempic among celebrities. Both hosts discuss how many famous individuals are rumored to use the drug to maintain their physiques, leading to a culture of deceit and unrealistic body standards.
Langston Kerman [08:30]: "It does seem to have a little bit of a ubiquitous quality now where it is anywhere and everywhere in Hollywood."
David adds a critical perspective on the dishonesty involved:
