Johann: [00:00:00] These medication are rocket gasoline for consuming problems. I’m actually fearful. Along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medication, we’re going to have an opioid like wave of dying toll of deaths of younger ladies and consuming problems just do overwhelming the younger ladies.
Clearly you get some boys, some older girls, but it surely’s overwhelming the younger ladies who’re capable of starve themselves to dying who wouldn’t have been ready to do this had they not had entry to those medication.

Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digicam that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine at present. I’ve mainly been [00:04:00] freebasing caffeine. So there’s a not insignificant probability that I’ll die throughout this interview. So I’m glad my final phrases are going to be recorded for posterity.
Mike: I should minimize that clip and make that the one you’d perceive.
You’d perceive.
Johann: It’s true. It’s what I’d have wished. I as soon as noticed Joan Rivers on stage. She mentioned that, she’d be like, when she was actually previous, she’d be like, I may die at any second. And also you’ll be like, I used to be there. I used to be there. The bitch was strolling round and she or he was simply useless.
Mike: And now with social media and cell telephones, you’ll be able to stay without end.
It’s a really 2024 method to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the best way?
Johann: I think that my blood, for those who did gave me a blood take a look at, I’m extra caffeine at this level, but it surely’s all fantastic. I’ve had a little bit of a mad day.
Mike: One of many, one of many guys who works with me after we had been all within the workplace collectively earlier than COVID, we went distant at that time, however he would recurrently eat most likely a gram to a gram and a half per day.
That was only a, [00:05:00] that was only a regular cruising altitude for his caffeine consumption.
Johann: Within the final yr of his life, Elvis had a physician who would come and inject caffeine instantly into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I want that physician. And my pal was like, yeah, what occurred to Elvis subsequent? I used to be like, yeah, good level.
Didn’t work out that properly.
Mike: Oh yeah. I didn’t consider that. You would possibly as properly skip that. Simply go to the Hitler part. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. In the event you’re going to go intravenous, come on. Talking of injecting medication we’re. That’s an excellent pivot. I prefer it.
That’s what we’re right here to speak about. Is is injecting medication. We’re right here to speak about some glutide or ozempic as many individuals realize it. And that is one thing that I’ve spoken a bit about it. I’ve written a bit about it, however I wished to have a little bit of a special dialogue and extra, as they prefer to say, nuanced dialogue with you about, about the place the.
Analysis is at with this drug. And trying to the longer term [00:06:00] of the place this would possibly go and the way it the way it would possibly affect society. Additionally taking a look at among the security considerations which have been introduced up. However I feel the place I wished to begin was a quote with of yours the place you mentioned the concept that weight problems is nearly willpower is scientifically absurd.
Are you able to clarify what you imply by that?
Johann: I don’t assume I did say that. I do assume that, however I’m undecided that’s anyway. Willpower is actual and willpower performs a big function on this, however willpower is one a part of a a lot larger image. And if you wish to take into consideration that, I’d simply say everybody listening, pause this podcast and do one thing for me.
Simply take the title of the closest seaside to the place you reside. So I’m guessing for you, Mike, it’s Tampa and simply Google pictures of that seaside. Within the yr that I used to be born, 1979, and simply have a look at them for a minute after which come again to us, proper? In the event you’ve carried out that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These folks don’t look [00:07:00] like us. In the event you have a look at pictures of seashores within the yr I used to be born, just about everybody, just about in all places on this planet, seems what we might name both skinny or fairly jacked, truly. You have a look at it and go the place was everybody else on Tampa Seaside that day? The place was everybody else?
Was it like a thin individual conference? What was happening? And then you definitely have a look at the figures. That’s what folks seem like within the yr that I used to be born. So between the yr I used to be born and the yr I turned 21, weight problems doubled in the USA. After which within the subsequent 20 years, extreme weight problems doubled once more, proper?
That is weird. You’ve gotten 300, 000 years the place human beings exist and there’s some weight problems. However it’s exceptionally uncommon. After which actually in my lifetime, weight problems blows up. Why? Why would that occur? Now, you may say everybody simply had a mass failure of willpower. There’s only a breakdown in willpower.
That doesn’t appear very [00:08:00] believable. And we’ve superb analysis on this. And we’ve analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. In actual fact, we all know why this occurred, as a result of it occurs, we all know why this bodily transformation in folks’s our bodies occur. It occurs in all places the place one change takes place.
It’s the place folks transfer from largely consuming a eating regimen primarily based on contemporary complete meals they ready on the day, to largely consuming a eating regimen of processed and extremely processed meals, which suggests meals which can be constructed in factories out of chemical substances in a course of that isn’t even known as cooking, it’s known as manufacturing meals.
And it seems these processed and extremely processed meals have an effect on our our bodies in a extremely totally different method to the previous form of meals, proper? And there’s numerous proof for this, and we are able to undergo a number of it intimately if you’d like, and I’m going by a number of it within the e-book, however if you wish to perceive the center of it, I feel you’ve obtained to grasp an experiment that to me simply nails it.
It was carried out by a scientist I interviewed known as Dr. Paul Kenny, and I’ve [00:09:00] nicknamed this experiment Cheesecake Park. That’s not the official title, proper? It’s a quite simple experiment. He’s the pinnacle of neuroscience at Mount Sinai in New York, and he obtained a load of rats and he raised them in a cage.
And all they needed to eat was the form of pure, complete meals that rats developed to eat over 1000’s of years. And when that’s all they needed to eat, the rats would eat after they had been hungry. And they’d cease after they had been full. So that they had some form of pure sign that simply mentioned, Hey guys, you’ve had sufficient, cease now.
In order that they by no means grew to become fats or obese when that was the one meals supply that they had. Then Dr. Kenny launched them to the fashionable American eating regimen, get able to salivate. He fried up some bacon. He purchased some Snickers bars. Crucially, he purchased a number of cheesecake and the rats went loopy. for the American eating regimen.
They might actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their approach out and simply emerge simply utterly slicked with cheesecake and so they ate and ate and ate and all this pure dietary knowledge that they’d had after they ate the previous form [00:10:00] of meals simply disappeared and so they all grew to become severely overweight.
Then Dr. Kenny tweaked the experiment once more in a approach that feels to me a bit merciless as a former KFC addict. He took away all this American eating regimen And left them with nothing however the wholesome meals and he was positive he knew what would occur. He thought they might eat extra of the wholesome meals than that they had in the beginning and this could show that publicity to the American eating regimen will increase the variety of energy you eat in a day.
That isn’t what occurred, Mike. What occurred is way weirder. As soon as that they had the American eating regimen and it was taken away, they refused to eat something in any respect. It was like they now not acknowledged the wholesome meals as meals. They solely went again to consuming it after they had been actually ravenous to dying. Now, I’d argue we’re all dwelling in a model of that Cheesecake Park experiment.
The meals we’re consuming is undermining our skill to ever really feel full and get the sign from our physique saying, hey, cease consuming now, proper? Now, we didn’t select that, proper? Extra three yr previous American youngsters know what the McDonald’s M means than know their very own final title. They didn’t select that. I didn’t select that.
You didn’t select that. [00:11:00] 65 % of the energy the typical American baby eats in a day are from extremely processed meals. That’s not by alternative. That’s undermining our skill to really feel full from the second we’re born. And now you can willpower can play a task in correcting that. Like I say, it’s actual.
Everybody listening may have had the expertise of exercising willpower over one thing, proper? I practically had one other glass of espresso earlier than I did this podcast. I get it. I’ll truly, I’ll simply, I’ll sound like a coke addict. I’ll be like Al Pacino on the finish of Scarface if I begin doing that. That was willpower, proper?
Willpower is actual. However you train willpower in a wider context and we’re current in a wider meals atmosphere that’s systematically undermining our willpower.
Mike: And within the e-book, Magic Capsule, you determined to attempt Ozempic. And the way did that have go? And notably, had been there any shocking unwanted effects that you simply didn’t count on?
How did that have examine to what you had been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Moving into, I felt actually conflicted. I keep in mind so vividly the second I realized in regards to the existence of those medication. It was the winter of 2022. And it was that second on the finish of the pandemic when the world was opening up once more. And I obtained invited to a celebration and I used to be like, Oh, I keep in mind them.
Okay, let’s go. And I used to be in an Uber going to the social gathering. This social gathering was thrown by an Oscar profitable actor. I’m not saying that simply to call drop. It’s related to what occurred subsequent. I used to be sitting there and I instantly felt this type of wave of dread is simply too sturdy a phrase, however like self consciousness.
As a result of I believed, I used to be fairly fats in the beginning of the pandemic and I gained numerous weight throughout it. And I believed, oh, it is a bit embarrassing. However then I instantly thought, wait a minute, the general public I do know gained weight in the course of the pandemic. This social gathering goes to be actually attention-grabbing.
We’re simply going to all faux
Mike: prefer it didn’t occur.
Johann: I’m identical to Hollywood stars with a little bit of like flat on them. That is going to be fascinating. And I arrived and I walked round and it was the weirdest factor. [00:13:00] Not solely had none of them gained weight, they had been gone. Everybody was like a lot thinner than they’d been in the beginning of the pandemic.
And never simply the actors, just like the brokers, the screenwriters as companions, like I used to be like. Whoa. And I bumped right into a pal of mine on the dance ground and I mentioned to her. Wow, it seems like everybody actually did take up Pilates throughout lockdown and she or he laughed in my face and I used to be like, why are you laughing at?
And she or he pulled up on her cellphone and a picture of an Ozempic pen. And that was after I realized, clearly I learn much more about it later, however that we, there’s been a staggering medical breakthrough. A few of these folks have described this as like a fad or a craze. It’s actually necessary folks perceive that is, there’s loads of issues we’re fearful about, however this isn’t a fad.
We now have a brand new drug. That offers folks a staggering quantity of weight reduction. The typical one that makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 % of their physique weight. The typical one that makes use of Menjaro, which is the subsequent on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction medication, loses [00:14:00] 21 % of their physique weight.
And the subsequent one that may come on-line most likely early subsequent yr, Triple G, the typical individual loses 25 % of their physique weight, solely a bit of bit beneath bariatric surgical procedure, staggering. And as quickly as I realized this. I had two very sturdy contradictory ideas. The very first thing I believed was this might save my life.
As a result of, I used to be about to show 45, which is the age my grandfather was when he died of a coronary heart assault. A great deal of the boys in my household get coronary heart illness. My dad had horrible coronary heart issues, although he survived them. My uncle died of a coronary heart assault. As I say, my granddad died of them. And I knew then that weight problems makes coronary heart illness more likely.
Really, makes worse or causes over 200 identified medical circumstances. So I believed, whoa, there’s a drug that reverses or massively reduces weight problems. That’s an enormous deal, however I additionally thought, wait a minute, this sounds approach too good to be true. This simply can’t be [00:15:00] proper. So I ended up happening a extremely massive journey all around the world from Iceland to Minneapolis to Japan to interview the main consultants on these medication, the most important defenders of the medication, the most important critics of the medication, and actually do a deep dive into what are the advantages and dangers right here.
And what’s this extraordinary. Revolution. This medical breakthrough going to imply for all of us. And naturally, as you mentioned, I took the drug myself, however I can’t actually analysis this with out taking it myself. So I took it as properly.
Mike: And the way was that have once you took it and the way did it examine to expectations?
And what did you conclude or what did you study by that part of doing it? It’s 1 factor to examine analysis and to take heed to consultants and even to grasp the mechanisms of motion and so forth. And it’s one other factor to actually expertise it. And I’ve not skilled it. Lots of the folks listening haven’t many individuals presumably have, however for the various who haven’t, there most likely are many who’ve thought of or are contemplating.
Utilizing it and [00:16:00] I’ve in, in my expertise and what I’ve seen, there are lots of people who I’d not advocate it to who’re utilizing it and a few folks I’d advocate it to, however
Johann: yeah, it’s a extremely necessary query. 47 % of Individuals now wish to take these medication partly as a result of everybody who takes them then turns into a form of strolling as commercial for the medication.
Individuals are like, whoa, what occurred to Bob? It’s half. It’s half of Bob. The place did he go? He stole the opposite half. It’s, how does it really feel? There have been numerous ups and downs. The preliminary impact is. It was weird. So I keep in mind the second day after I’d taken Ozempe, I awoke and after I’m, I stay half the yr right here in London and I went to this diner up the road from the place I stay and I ordered what I used to order each morning for breakfast, which I’m embarrassed to say to somebody who’s as glowingly wholesome as you, however I, it was an enormous hen sandwich with a great deal of hen and mayo in it.
And usually I would really like inhale that and nonetheless need some chips. And that [00:17:00] morning I had three mouthfuls. And I simply felt full. I didn’t need any extra. I believed that is bizarre. And that’s actually the way it was from then on. These medication make you’re feeling very full, very quick. So it’s not, take into consideration standard weight-reduction plan the place you’re hungry however you discover ways to deny your self this longing.
It’s not like that. It adjustments what you need. Now, we all know a few of what’s happening there. One of many bizarre issues about these medication is we don’t totally know the way they work, however there’s some issues we do know. So for those who ate one thing now, Mike, doesn’t matter what it’s. After a short time, your pancreas will produce a hormone known as GLP 1.
GLP 1 is simply a part of your physique’s pure alerts going, Hey, Mike, you had sufficient. Cease consuming. It’s the breaks, mainly. However pure GLP 1 solely stays round in your system for a couple of minutes after which it’s washed away. What these medication do is that they inject you, or within the capsule type they provide you, a man-made type of GLP 1 that as an alternative of sticking round in your system for a couple of minutes, stays round in your system For an entire week, which suggests after I begin to eat that hen sandwich, [00:18:00] I’m already fairly near full.
So fairly rapidly, the sign of, Hey, Johan, cease, you’ve had sufficient kicks in. So it produces, as I mentioned, dramatic quantity of weight reduction for me. I misplaced only a staggering quantity of slight, practically 20 % of my physique weight. I went from a BMI of, I feel it was 31 to BMI. 24, 23, one thing like that now. So a extremely dramatic shift.
In order that’s the primary and quick impact. You requested earlier than about unwanted effects. I’m going by within the e-book 12 important dangers related to these medication, so long as big, alongside big advantages. I’m positive we’re going to unpick each, however the, by way of the dangers that I’m describing are totally different to the unwanted effects, proper?
So the commonest facet impact by far is nausea. That most individuals. Virtually everybody, after they begin taking these medication, feels nauseous. For most individuals, it goes away fairly rapidly. For me the very first day I used to be nauseous, it was like a light nausea, if I had randomly felt nauseous like that at some point, I wouldn’t have gone house and gone to mattress.
I’d have simply carried on about my [00:19:00] day, however I’d have felt a bit of bit tough. From then on, each week after I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the subsequent day and step by step that went away. And right here I’m, greater than a yr and a half later and I don’t, I’m nonetheless taking it for causes I can speak about, however I by no means get nauseous.
The nausea now. In order that’s commonest unwanted effects together with a burping constipation. However I used to be separate that from the advantages of dangers.
Mike: Yeah. So minor unwanted effects by way of quick time period. What you skilled then clearly. Vastly offset by the manufacturing urge for food that then made it rather a lot simpler to take care of a calorie deficit, which most individuals listening are going to grasp that’s what drives weight reduction.
And that’s actually the advantage of it. And coming again to the willpower level that you simply spoke about simply so as to add a remark to that, For folks listening who’ve by no means actually struggled to drop some pounds, as a result of in my expertise interacting with these folks, they don’t fairly perceive what it’s [00:20:00] prefer to, for instance, we are able to begin with simply being hungry on a regular basis.
And that could be a frequent expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. Lots of these individuals are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for any person who has not skilled that, or doesn’t usually expertise that, They don’t perceive simply how tough that may be to take care of. And for folks listening who don’t usually expertise that, for those who’ve ever dieted to get very lean, for those who assume to that interval, particularly towards the top of that eating regimen, you most likely had been hungry.
Loads, and also you had been experiencing cravings rather a lot. So now think about that was simply your default urge for food on a regular basis, no matter physique composition. And so the issue of willpower, even you’ll hear folks, even skilled bodybuilders speak about this, that when you get deep sufficient right into a eating regimen and your urge for food reaches a sure, it crosses a sure threshold, it’s solely a [00:21:00] matter of time.
Till you lose the battle you can solely apply willpower irrespective of who you’re for thus lengthy till your urge for food wins. And so once more, individuals who play with their physique composition for a dwelling, they know that and so they plan for that of their weight-reduction plan and so forth.

Johann: Now, that’s such an necessary level. There have been numerous issues I realized within the analysis of the e-book that shocked me.
There’s a superb professor it’s best to have on the podcast known as Professor Tracy Mann. I interviewed her in Minneapolis. Who’s been researching, she’s carried out the very best analysis on the, when do diets work and when do they not work? And it’s attention-grabbing, When she began researching this across the yr 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Enormous, many 1000’s of research demonstrating that diets work for the apparent purpose that for those who, such as you mentioned, for those who burn extra energy than you eat, you drop some pounds, that you simply’d must deny the legal guidelines of physics to disclaim that, proper? When she checked out this in additional element, she seen nearly all of the analysis on the efficacy of diets checked out it.
Individuals who eating regimen for 3 months, a few of them checked out six months. So mainly you lose a number of weight after which the folks doing the examine simply assume and then you definitely stay fortunately ever after at that decrease [00:23:00] weight till you die, proper? Everybody listening will know individuals who dieted and can discover that’s not the fact of it.
Actually that’s what Professor Mann seen. I do know tons of people that , it is a bizarre timeframe to take a look at. So she then gathered all of the proof that had solely been about, I feel it was 24 research on the time that checked out dieters over two years, relatively than three months to 6 months.
And over the 2 yr timeframe, what you discover could be very totally different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the burden they’ve misplaced. Not everybody, and it’s necessary to notice, it’s not everybody. There’s a big minority, it’s about 15 to twenty % who don’t, however most individuals do. It’s attention-grabbing, what’s, why would that be?
What’s happening there? And this pertains to a extremely attention-grabbing debate in regards to the new, revolutionary new weight reduction medication. We’ve talked about how they’ve this impact, GLP 1, that has this impact in your pancreas and your intestine. So it was initially thought, what these medication do is that they simulate GLP 1 is a intestine hormone, so the impact of those medication have to be totally on the intestine.
They need to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that have to be how they work. [00:24:00] They usually do have that impact. However it’s more and more clear, and I interviewed the innovative neuroscientists on this, it’s more and more clear truly these medication don’t work totally on the intestine, they work totally on the mind.
They modify what you need. There’s an enormous debate about how they alter the mind, and it’s frankly disconcerting to go and interview numerous actually good neuroscientists and go, what’s it doing to my mind? They usually go, yeah, we’re probably not positive. However one key concept, which I discovered fairly persuasive, though it’s contested, and there are different theories.
Compelling theories. One concept pertains to this query about eating regimen failure. There’s some stuff we learn about weight-reduction plan that’s actually attention-grabbing. In the event you return to the 60s, there was a concept that was developed about weight-reduction plan and simply physique weight extra usually, which was, it was often called set level concept.
So it comes out of your physique temperature. So if you consider physique temperature, it’s by an analogy along with your physique temperature, take into consideration your physique temperature. From once you’re born as a human being, you will have a set level on your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] In the event you go above your physique desires to maintain you inside a really slender vary across the physique temperature that’s wholesome on your physique.
And we may have all had the expertise for those who get above that physique temperature, your physique works actually exhausting to deliver you down. You begin sweating, you desperately need shade. And equally, in case your physique goes finally ends up beneath that physique temperature, your physique works very exhausting to deliver you again up, you shiver, you desperately need heat.
So your physique has a pure set level, it retains your temperature at a selected stage, and you’ll’t actually go exterior that vary for very lengthy with out your physique preventing again actually exhausting. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, once you’re born, You’ve obtained a sure set level on your physique weight that’s simply fastened from once you’re, from start, proper?
And, it or a bit of bit beneath it, however mainly you’re fastened. Then the weight problems disaster occurred starting within the late Seventies. And at first they thought, oh, we simply must throw out set level concept when it applies to weight, [00:26:00] proper? It simply doesn’t work as a result of in case your physique weight was set, how may it improve a lot?
However then a extremely attention-grabbing adjustment to the science occurred for folks like Professor Michael Lowe at Drexel College, who I interviewed. What they, from trying on the proof, what they started to understand is your physique does have a set level on your weight, however as your weight rises, your physique takes that larger set level as its new set level.
So let’s think about two similar twins, proper? You don’t must think about, a British author known as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s certainly one of similar twins within the second tip. Image two similar twins, certainly one of them positive factors, 40 kilos. after which loses it. So once more, they appear the identical, proper?
However as you acquire weight, your physique fights to carry that larger weight. It slows down your metabolism. It makes you crave extra fatty meals. In the event you had been ready by pressure of willpower by a hardcore eating regimen and train program to return down, you’d truly, as a result of your physique [00:27:00] is attempting to drive you again up, you’d must eat considerably fewer energy than your similar twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I keep in mind after I first realized this about set level concept. Pondering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of on condition that weight problems is so unhealthy on your well being, why would nature endow us with one thing that was so dysfunctional, proper? Why would it not make us wish to be overweight? But when you consider the circumstances the place human beings developed, it is smart.
Within the circumstances the place human beings developed, the state of affairs we stay in now, the place you will have surplus energy on your complete life, extra energy than you’ll be able to ever eat throughout you without end That by no means occurred, proper? Our evolution didn’t put together us for that state of affairs. What did occur quite a bit within the circumstances the place human beings developed was a really totally different menace, which is famine.
It was fairly possible within the circumstances the place people developed that you simply had been ultimately going to expire of meals. And if you consider weight problems in relation to that, it begins to make sense, proper? In the event you image, if a famine comes alongside tomorrow, [00:28:00] me at my fattest would survive and timothy chalamet would die in week one proper and kate moss and i might cry over their our bodies bury them most likely eat them to be sincere and you understand i might nonetheless be standing proper so truly within the circumstances the place we developed it made sense In the event you discover surplus energy, eat them as a result of they ain’t going to final for lengthy.
And increase shops of fats will defend you for the famine that’s coming alongside. However our evolution is now making ready us to guard us in opposition to a famine that isn’t going to occur, proper? So we’ve ended up maladapted to our surroundings. And the rationale this pertains to the medication, aside from clearly explaining why diets fail normally, is one concept about what these medication do to your mind is that they reset your set level.
They decrease your set level. So for those who now gained a load of weight please don’t, it might be a tragedy for gays and girls in all places. However for those who did you’d discover it exhausting to return, proper? Due to that adjustment in your set level and that change in [00:29:00] your metabolism, However one argument is what these medication could also be doing is definitely decreasing your set level.
This can be a extra crude analogy than any of the scientists would use. However the best way I started to consider it, it’s nearly like taking your iPhone again to the manufacturing unit settings, proper? It’s like decreasing your set level. In order that’s one concept about what’s happening right here. That’s definitely true about why diets fail.
And it’s a believable concept, however I wouldn’t take it additional than that for why the medication could have a few of that dramatic
Mike: impact. And simply to touch upon the purpose of diets that fail versus diets that don’t primarily based on not simply my understanding of related literature, but in addition what I’ve seen now, and lots of people through the years is there.
There are some commonalities among the many individuals who do efficiently get there by. I assume you may say willpower, however in addition they, they create their routine in order that it requires as little willpower as doable with being particular about the kind of meals that you simply’re consuming and the macronutrient breakdown internet macronutrient [00:30:00] composition of your eating regimen, for instance, totally dropping extremely processed meals out of the eating regimen, consuming a excessive protein eating regimen being Conscientious about vegetable consumption and fruit consumption and in consuming much more servings, like getting as much as 68 servings of vegetables and fruit per day, even as far as, creating zucchini soup is a tip that I’ve shared that.
For some purpose, zucchini, simply in my expertise with folks, appears to be notably filling. There’s simply a number of quantity to it, low calorie, turning that right into a soup. And after which on the train facet of issues, understanding how your physique responds to excessive depth versus low depth train.
And we may speak about analysis by way of how excessive depth versus low depth tends to have an effect on urge for food, however it might fluctuate particular person by particular person. And so discovering out what sort of train for you tends to show your urge for food off, however a number of these methods once more, come again to the center of the matter, which is urge for food.
Lots of these methods [00:31:00] are geared towards. Minimizing urge for food and what I’ve seen in individuals who have efficiently misplaced a number of weight and saved it off is that they used a number of these ways to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to constantly drop some pounds, however permits them to only preserve urge for food.
Low and preserve cravings low. So for some folks which means having small quantities of issues that they like simply giving themselves sufficient regularly for different folks. It’s having, perhaps there are specific treats which can be allowed and different treats that aren’t allowed as a result of for no matter purpose, it simply triggers one thing in the event that they go to get the ice cream, they will’t simply eat.
100 and fifty energy of ice cream as a result of it’s 4 spoons or no matter. So the, so ice cream is out, however darkish chocolate, for no matter purpose, they will have 100 energy of darkish chocolate and so they really feel satiated. Once more, the purpose that only for folks listening is in case you have been battling Reducing weight and retaining it off merely by eating regimen and [00:32:00] train, and if it’s been notably a matter of urge for food and cravings, it could be that it’s essential get extra explicit in regards to the particulars, and also you may need to micromanage the method a bit of bit greater than another person who perhaps it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There might be some genetic elements in play, no matter. They don’t want to concentrate an excessive amount of to the main points. They’re simply extra excessive stage and so they eat sufficient protein. They don’t actually take note of the remaining and so they simply keep their calorie deficit and transfer on once more, bringing it again to those medication from what I’ve gathered is that they’re serving to many individuals expertise.
It’s a bit greater than you may obtain by simply eating regimen and train, however expertise a bit extra of the method. That it may be a minority of individuals, however the individuals who would say, how exhausting is it? It’s simply willpower. Simply cease consuming. It doesn’t matter as a result of once more, for them to realize the specified final result that’s all it required.
Johann: Yeah, I [00:33:00] assume that’s a extremely necessary level. And I’d positively say for those who’re obese and overweight or obese or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to drop some pounds by eating regimen and train first. I doubt that there’s a single obese or overweight individual listening. I’ve not tried that, however like it’s best to positively.
Mike: Certain. Nevertheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I need folks to know is that there are a number of unhealthy diets on the market, sadly, that attempt with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a extremely necessary level. I’d additionally say for those who’ve tried eating regimen and train and so they haven’t labored, what you now must do.
A, there’s excellent news, which is there’s a staggering new device, which works very well at sure issues in these medication. But additionally I’d say what you now must do. is approach too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary danger is the chance of constant to be obese or overweight.
And by the best way, you don’t must be vastly fats for well being danger to kick in. Even simply at being barely obese, the well being dangers begin to kick in. I’m [00:34:00] embarrassed to say this as a result of this can be received’t be information to you, Mike, in any respect, however of all of the issues I realized for the e-book, the factor that almost all shocked me was actually trying with a transparent eye at how unbelievably unhealthy on your weight problems truly is.
Weight problems makes mainly every little thing we worry medically. considerably extra possible. It makes you considerably extra prone to get dementia, makes you considerably extra prone to get most cancers, makes you considerably extra prone to have a stroke, which is the factor medical doctors most worry getting, makes you considerably extra prone to have a coronary heart assault, makes you considerably extra possible you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you’ll be able to’t stroll, the place you’re in agony along with your knees, along with your hips simply throughout the board, it’s disastrous.
And we all know that once you reverse weight problems, you massively enhance well being outcomes. If in case you have bariatric surgical procedure within the seven years that comply with, you’re 56 % much less prone to die of a coronary heart assault. You’re 60 % much less prone to die of most cancers. [00:35:00] You’re 92 % much less prone to die of diabetes associated causes.
In actual fact, it’s so good on your well being. You’re 40 % much less prone to die in any respect in these seven years, proper? So there’s that set of dangers. You’ve obtained to weigh them in opposition to the dangers of those medication. that are important. And I’m going by within the e-book 12 important dangers, which I wish to clarify are totally different from the unwanted effects, important dangers which can be related to these medication.
And Completely different folks will make totally different calculations. Like I say, I’ve an extended historical past of coronary heart illness in my household. The boys die younger. So for me, the truth that these medication scale back your danger of coronary heart assault or stroke by 20%, for those who take them and also you began with a BMI larger than 27 was completely decisive for me, proper?
I used to be identical to, okay, I’m in. For different folks. That won’t be the appropriate calculation. I don’t assume there’s a one dimension matches all steerage on this. I feel folks, I hope, what I hope my e-book Magic Capsule helps folks to do, in addition to, serving to to grasp how these medication make you’re feeling and all types of [00:36:00] issues, is, and the way they’re going to have an effect on the financial system, how they’re going to have an effect on the society, how we obtained right here, how we are able to get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope folks, provides me an opportunity to go down the record of, okay, what are the advantages, What are the dangers? What applies to me? Ought to I make this determination for myself or not?
Mike: Are you able to converse to among the extra important of the 12 dangers? As a result of, that is, as the truth that there are dangers, there’s a little bit of controversy over, some folks roughly dismiss any such considerations and attempt to promote the medication as, Principally all upside, no draw back.
Johann: I feel that’s very irresponsible. As Professor Karel Le Roux, who’s one of many scientists who labored on these medication mentioned to me, there are two varieties of medicine. There are medication with unwanted effects and there are medication that don’t work. You don’t get the advantages of medicine with out dangers, proper?
There’s no such factor. It’s, it might be a infantile mind-set. So by way of the dangers, it’s necessary to emphasize. In the event you ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately in regards to the dangers, [00:37:00] usually what they are saying is definitely we all know quite a bit about these medication as a result of diabetics have now been taking them for practically 20 years, proper?
For individuals who don’t know, along with having this impact on urge for food, these medication additionally deal with sort 2 diabetes as a result of they stimulate the creation of insulin. So they are saying, look, diabetics have been taking them for 20 years. We’ve obtained numerous knowledge on diabetics. It’s a extremely necessary level and it ought to give us some stage of consolation that.
However another scientists mentioned, okay, if we’re going to base our confidence largely on the diabetics, let’s do a little bit of digging on the diabetics. So for instance, there’s a number one French scientist known as Professor Jean Luc Fayy on the College Hospital in Montpellier in France, who was commissioned by the French Medicines Company to look into the protection of those medication.
So he went away, he regarded on the proof, and he began to take a look at the proof from sort 2 diabetics. It’s very fundamental. They’ve superb medical databases in France as a result of you’ll be able to’t decide out of them. They don’t actually have the equal of HIPAA. He was actually [00:38:00] alarmed by one thing. So he in contrast utilizing these databases, teams of diabetics who soak up these medication.
with teams of diabetics who had been comparable in each different approach, however had not taken these semaglutides. And what his analysis appeared to point is that for those who took these medication, you had been considerably extra prone to develop thyroid most cancers. In actual fact you had been, the rise within the danger was actually, it was 50%, which after I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he mentioned no, you’ve obtained to grasp that doesn’t imply for those who take the drug, you will have a 50 % probability of getting thyroid most cancers. If that was the case, there’d be bonfires of ozempic all around the world. What it means is what, If he’s proper, and that is extremely contested, no matter your thyroid most cancers danger was in the beginning, it goes up by 50%.
Proper now, thyroid most cancers is a uncommon type of most cancers. 1. 2 % of individuals get it of their lifetime. 80 % of individuals survive it. Nonetheless, If he’s proper, once more, stress is contested, that’s a big improve in a comparatively small danger. And there’s a [00:39:00] broader vary of dangers which can be rising like this.
The most important factor that worries me is, pertains to consuming problems, and that doesn’t fear for me, fear me for myself, as a result of I’m not going to develop an consuming dysfunction, I’m extremely assured with that, however that worries me for lots of younger ladies, I can come again to that. However for me personally, the one which worries me most.
It’s that we simply don’t know the long run unwanted effects, proper? We don’t know, nobody’s been taking them for greater than 20 years. And there’s an analogy that I wish to stress. I’m not suggesting these medication may have this impact, however the analogy ought to assist us to consider among the dangers right here. So for those who return to when anti psychotic medication had been first being given to folks within the late Nineteen Fifties, the early Nineteen Sixties, scientists on the time judged that the advantages of those medication outweighed the dangers.
And that was the very best judgment name that they had primarily based on the proof that they had on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found In the event you take these medication for a extremely very long time, you’re far more prone to get [00:40:00] dementia. Now, it’s not that the scientists within the 50s and 60s had been being negligent.
There was simply no approach you may know that, proper? You needed to have folks take it for a extremely lengthy time frame. It’s doable, now I’m not suggesting medication will trigger dementia, there’s no purpose to consider that, but it surely’s simply doable that there’ll be one thing that these medication do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core facets of the mind, it’s doable that additional down the road these medication may have some disastrous unwanted effects and somebody will discover this podcast to go what for he was to take these medication.
Now, in opposition to that, I’d say, I feel rather a lot about one thing that Dr. Shauna Levy, who’s an weight problems specialist at Tulane College College of Drugs in New Orleans mentioned to me, we don’t know the long run dangers of those medication, however we do know the long run dangers of weight problems. And successfully, the long run results of medicine must be horrific to outweigh the long run dangers of weight problems.
Now, that may be the case, proper? However in order that for me was the, that’s the factor that almost all provides me pause. There’s been another stuff as properly, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m fearful about for different people who I’m not as fearful about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming problems and notably, I feel you mentioned in youthful girls.
Johann: This can be a big drawback. So everybody, I’m guessing just about everybody listening has identified somebody with, to call one of many larger consuming problems, anorexia, one of many extra frequent consuming problems.
Mike: Or some extent of orthorexia, fairly frequent within the health world particularly.
Johann: In the event you have a look at somebody with anorexia, for instance, there’s a battle happening inside them.
The organic a part of them that desires to stay and desires to eat. After which there’s the psychological a part of them that for sophisticated causes desires to starve themselves. And what these medication do for those who take them at a excessive sufficient dose is they will simply amputate that organic a part of your self. They’ll simply minimize off the a part of you that desires to eat.
And this is the reason Dr. Kimberly Dennis is likely one of the main consuming problems consultants in the USA. You need to have her on as properly. Nice individual. It says, these medication are rocket gasoline for consuming problems. I’m actually fearful along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medication.
We’re going to [00:42:00] have an opioid like wave of dying toll, of deaths, of younger ladies, and consuming problems just do, are overwhelming the younger ladies. Clearly you get some boys, some older girls, but it surely’s overwhelming the younger ladies, who’re capable of starve themselves to dying, who wouldn’t have been ready to do this had they not, had entry to those medication.
And the entry subject is a extremely massive deal in the meanwhile as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medication. You need to, except you’re diabetic, sort 2 diabetes. In the event you went to a physician for these medication, you shouldn’t be given them in keeping with the medical tips. I assure you, you may dangle up on me now.
And inside an hour, have a zoom name the place you’d get given these medication.
Mike: No, you’re not clearly not a danger supervisor. Just like TRT now exploding, you’ll be able to simply say, I feel I’ve low testosterone up. Right here’s your script. Precisely.
Johann: Precisely. And that brings with it an entire different set of potential dangers.
So together with potential advantages. So you consider that, proper? So what Consuming problems consultants like Dr. Dennis say, and I strongly agree with them, [00:43:00] is we have to urgently tighten the regulation. Firstly, you shouldn’t be capable of get these medication on Zoom, as a result of how are you measuring folks’s BMI on Zoom, proper?
It’s meaningless. A, it’s best to get on Zoom. You need to must go in individual to see a physician. That physician ought to weigh you and examine you. If you don’t meet the factors, you shouldn’t be given them. So for those who’re not diabetic or obese or overweight, you shouldn’t be given them. And they need to be educated in recognizing folks with consuming problems and they need to refer you.
Now, that’s not good. You may get a pal to go and get it for you. There are leaky, there are holes in that, however that will save lots of people. So the best way I take into consideration these medication, it is a barely excessive approach of placing it, however solely barely. These medication are such a strong device.
They’re like the invention of fireside, proper? Fireplace is a good device. If I take advantage of it to warmth up my home, it’s a extremely awful device. If I take advantage of it to burn down your own home in the identical approach, this breakthrough is so staggering. It may be used for excellent good and nice hurt, and it might and can be used for each. So [00:44:00] we have to.
One of many issues I hope my e-book is a form of probability for us to, we’re actually dwelling by a staggering scientific revolution. We’ve cracked the code of what controls human urge for food as one of many scientists who developed these medication. Put it to me, we actually must pause and take into consideration what that’s going to imply for our financial system, our society, our our bodies, ourselves, how we really feel about ourselves.
The e-book is known as Magic Capsule as a result of there’s 3 ways these medication might be magic, proper? The primary approach is the obvious. It may simply remedy the issue of weight problems. I obtained to let you know, Mike, there are days it appears like that. My complete life I’ve overeaten. Now, as soon as every week I do a tiny little scratch in my leg.
I barely really feel it. I don’t overeat. I misplaced a shit load of weight. It’s thoughts blowing, proper? The second approach it might be magic is far more disturbing. It might be like a magic trick. It might be just like the magician who reveals you a card trick whereas he picks your pocket. It might be that over time, 12 dangers related to these medication outweigh the advantages.
I don’t assume that’s the probably state of affairs for most individuals, however you definitely can’t rule it out. The third approach it [00:45:00] might be magic is definitely what I feel is the probably. Take into consideration the tales of magic that you simply and me grew up with. Take into consideration Aladdin, proper? You discover the lamp, you rub it, the genie seems, Robin Williams grants your needs, and so they come true, however by no means fairly in the best way you anticipated.
There’s all the time cascading, unpredictable results to the magic, proper? Take into consideration Fantasia, take into consideration all these tales. We’re already seeing that. I take into consideration the consequences on the financial system, proper? Krispy Kreme shares are tanking. All of the quick meals corporations are already freaking out. Eating places commerce is de facto worrying.
In LA, there’s been an enormous run on jewelers as a result of so many individuals’s fingers have shrunk that their marriage ceremony rings don’t match them anymore. There’s gonna be all types of big, Jeffrey’s Monetary simply did a report for the American airways. a few yr and a half in the past exhibiting, saying to them, you’re going to have to spend so much much less cash on jet gasoline fairly quickly as a result of the inhabitants is about to get rather a lot thinner and it takes, the heavier you’re, the more cash prices to extra jet gasoline you want.
So there’s going to be big implications to this that we have to actually deeply assume [00:46:00] by. There’s lots of people must be warned about and ready for. So yeah, I feel we actually want To consider it is a nice second. This can be a scary second. That is all of these issues. And we have to honor the complexity of this.
Anybody who’s coming into this, simply going, yay, Ozempik or boo Ozempik is, I feel, lacking the far more attention-grabbing story that’s unfolding throughout us.
Mike: You talked about earlier that one thing else you mentioned within the e-book. And I wished to comply with up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, but it surely’s largely.
The magic is generally constructive and we’ve lots of people who’ve misplaced a number of weight and to some extent we’ve solved weight problems, not less than sufficient to, let’s say reverse the alarming development that the trajectory truly it truly begins to downtrend simply of simply BMI. And the place although, do you see.
The place issues may go [00:47:00] from there, the place we’ve lots of people now who’re utilizing these medication and my understanding of primarily based on a few earlier interviews that I did is one of the best ways for folks to succeed long run with these medication is to whereas utilizing them, use that as a possibility to begin to ingrain the habits that assist with pure weight upkeep and that will, that Embody among the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical varieties of profitable little strategies and ways that folks use to eating regimen efficiently with out the usage of any medication, or perhaps the worst, they’re the, they use caffeine or one thing, or perhaps it’s a Fedrin, proper?
And so whereas they’re utilizing. Was that Baker or Govey or a few of these different two others that you simply talked about, they use that to now begin to simply get within the behavior of. Consuming in a sure approach exercising in a sure approach on a sure schedule. So then as soon as they attain their goal physique [00:48:00] composition, they’re capable of wean off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight, a wholesome physique composition.
And that’s a variety. And in order that’s the best state of affairs so far as I perceive it. Nevertheless, there are numerous folks and also you talked about that you simply’re nonetheless taking the drug and I wished to ask about that as properly. And that is related to the earlier query. Many individuals who lose a number of weight after which they proceed taking the drug and are planning on taking it.
Roughly indefinitely or they’re they don’t they haven’t actually formalized a plan but of how they’re gonna get off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight or a wholesome physique composition. And so trying ahead to the longer term. Let’s say we do have lots of people who. Have used it or utilizing the drug, have misplaced a number of weight, nice advantages, such as you talked about, however now we’ve, how many individuals are even being projected?
I don’t even know what the numbers are we speaking? I’m guessing it’s projections into the [00:49:00] 9 figures of people who find themselves going to both have used or are at present utilizing the drug and is there any conceivable approach that we are able to get it? To go that part and to the place now we don’t have 50 to, who is aware of, 70 % of our inhabitants having used or utilizing the drug and now have not less than capable of keep a big diploma of the well being advantages that we’ve skilled by that closely drugged face, however.
Johann: So partly the reply to your query is unknown as a result of there’s an enormous debate about do these medication work after you cease taking them. So what the drug corporations say is completely not. They’re like statins or blood strain meds, whilst you take them they work, and once you cease, your ldl cholesterol or your blood strain return to what they had been earlier than.
So they are saying these medication imply you drop some pounds whilst you take them, after which once you cease, your weight will return to what it was earlier than. And the drug [00:50:00] corporations have up to now one examine which does exhibit this. The overwhelming majority of people that cease taking, I used to be then picked. WorkOV regained the overwhelming majority of their weight inside a yr.
Now, you wish to be a bit of bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug corporations clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them without end. Nonetheless, these had been critical scientists who produced this examine and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof we’ve in the meanwhile. We’ll have much more proof within the subsequent few years as a result of there’ll simply be tons of people that take it after which cease both as a result of they get thrown off their insurance coverage or as a result of they will’t get it or as a result of they only cease for the explanations you give.
Anecdotally, I do know some individuals who took it. Misplaced a load of weight, modified their habits, and now appear to be sustaining a decrease weight, however they do appear to be a minority of the folks concerned. So we have to know extra about that. However I feel there’s a deeper layer at which we have to reply your query, since you’re completely proper.
To me, it comes proper again to the place we began with Cheesecake Park. We completely mustn’t tolerate that our youngsters and grandchildren face a alternative between a dangerous medical situation and taking a [00:51:00] dangerous set of medicine. That isn’t the selection that we’ve to stay with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection we’ve to stay with, I went to Japan for the e-book.
Japan is the third richest nation on this planet, and it has nearly no weight problems in any respect. There are, greater than 40 % of Individuals are overweight, lower than 4 % of individuals in Japan are overweight. It has. actually nearly no childhood weight problems. It’s a bizarre factor. I went to Japanese colleges, you stroll round a college of a thousand youngsters and there’s not one single fats baby in that college.
It’s bizarre. And also you hear that and also you assume it have to be that the Japanese folks received the genetic lottery, proper? They need to simply genetically be much less prone to turn into fats. However we all know that’s not true as a result of within the late nineteenth century, a great deal of Japanese folks moved to Hawaii the place I used to be lately. And Japanese Hawaiians.
having been there now for 5 generations, are nearly as fats as everybody else in Hawaii, proper? So you progress, Japanese folks transfer to America and keep lengthy sufficient, they get as fats as different Individuals, proper? In order that’s not what’s occurring. It’s not, their genes can not presumably have developed that quickly in such a [00:52:00] quick time frame.
So there’s one thing in the best way Japanese folks stay. And I went to see what it’s. They’ve concerted insurance policies of their colleges to show youngsters to solely eat and love wholesome meals. They don’t permit shitty processed meals to hijack their children. They do all types of issues to do some issues that we completely wouldn’t do.
They’re unthinkable in our societies, however when you’re over the age of 40 in Japan, everybody will get weighed by their boss annually. And for those who’re obese, you must provide you with a plan along with your boss to deliver your weight down. And as an organization, in case you have. fattening workforce. You get fined by the federal government.
So I went to see this. It was like, Whoa, it’s wild. And I used to be like so I used to be with all these Japanese individuals who had been like, Oh, we love this coverage of this firm. And I’m like, so for those who did this within the U S we might burn the workplace down. They usually’re going, however why being fats’s actually unhealthy. I’m identical to, it was like such a cultural hole.
It was fascinating. However yeah, so there’s some facets of Japanese tradition that we are able to’t assimilate, however many who we are able to, and [00:53:00] we completely ought to. Trigger this transformation. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Really, two of mine had been, however they had been outliers of their era.
And, it is a very current change. We eat in a approach that will have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Inconceivable, truly.
Mike: Yeah,
Johann: actually unattainable. You’re precisely proper. We don’t have to only financial institution that. That we’ve been screwed over by the meals business as if that’s only a given, proper?
Japan is an actual place. It could actually really feel a bit sci fi generally, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t permit it to be carried out to them and their children, proper? We will make that alternative, too. And I discuss very clearly within the e-book about how we are able to do it and the way we get there. Within the meantime, for somebody like me, Look, I’m the place I’m.
I’m gonna make the selection I’ve gotta make. However we must always change the tradition within the society and the meals provide system such that not everyone seems to be trapped into making this considerably dangerous alternative that I’ve needed to make.
Mike: Completely. And I completely agree and I’d advocate that [00:54:00] folks get the e-book and browse it and notably this a part of it, as a result of anyone, I’ve two children and so this dialogue.
Personally, it’s a bit extra private for me. I’m not involved about myself however precisely. So the purpose that you simply’re making is I’ve been fairly conscientious about exposing my children to what it means to eat comparatively unprocessed. What, how ought to we truly be consuming and limiting their publicity to those different meals and so forth for all the explanations that you simply’ve talked about.
Johann: It’s humorous you say that as a result of I grew up in so the alternative atmosphere. My mom is Scottish and it’s the nation that invented the deep fried Mars bar. If anybody has by no means had one, don’t do it. And it’s not a well being obsessed tradition. There’s {a photograph} of me and my mom after I’m six months previous, the place she’s breastfeeding me, smoking and resting the ashtray on my abdomen.
And when I discovered this photograph a couple of years in the past, I believed I ought to really feel responsible. I present it to her. She mentioned, You had been a tough child. I wanted that cigarette. So utterly [00:55:00] unrepentant. So yeah, she was not excited about how can we get into zucchini soup? I feel if I gave zucchini soup to my mom, I feel she would punch me within the face.
Yeah,
Mike: that’s a, that’s truly an excellent image. That one needs to be in a body.
Johann: I wished to place it within the e-book. And she or he mentioned you’re not placing my tits in a e-book. She mentioned, I’m very indignant about that as properly.
Mike: That’s nice. That’s an excellent story. We’re developing on time. And and naturally the e-book is magic capsule.
Folks can get it to wherever they prefer to get books. And is there the rest that you simply wish to inform them about wherever, social media or any, wherever the place you’re lively?
Johann: In the event you go to magic capsule e-book. com, you’ll be able to see the place to get the audio e-book, the book or the bodily e-book. You may see the place to comply with me on social media.
I obtained in hassle on the finish of a podcast some time again as a result of it was a couple of years in the past. I used to be interviewed by a man who was about 50. And on the finish, he mentioned to me, what’s your Instagram? And I mentioned, he mentioned, what’s your Fb? And I mentioned, it, he mentioned and so they mentioned, what’s your Snapchat? And I mentioned, I’m a forty five [00:56:00] yr previous man.
The one 45 yr previous males on Snapchat are positively pedophiles. Why else are they there? And he didn’t snigger. And I’ve this very unhealthy behavior. If. If I inform a joke and somebody doesn’t snigger, I double down on the joke. And I mentioned, that present to catch a predator the place they catfish pedophiles. I mentioned, the subsequent season of to catch a predator ought to simply be, they go as much as grownup males on the street and say, what’s your Snapchat profile?
And in the event that they’ve obtained one, simply instantly arrest them, throw them within the van. And he didn’t snigger.
