All right, everybody. Let's see what's cooking. Sorry, I did like two episodes at the radio station, and then I ended up having to do other stuff at the radio station, so I'm now at home. I know that this is super late, but better late than never. So I'm reading this story. The most mispronounced words of 2025 include Monjaro, Louvre, and Acetaminophen. Those are not difficult words to pronounce. All right, let's see. This is based on the top words, politicians, news, anchors and people struggle with in 2025. Here are the top five words Americans couldn't pronounce this year. Zoran momdani. It is actually pronounced Zoh, Ron, R-A-H-N-H-N-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-Dani. Zoh-R-R-A-M-Dony. That doesn't seem that difficult.

Monjarro. As it turns out, it appears I've been mispronouncing it this whole time. It's not Monjaro. It's actually Moun Jaro, which, by the way, so I've lost a bunch of weight taking Mound Jaro or something similar to Mound Jaro. But I was doing this through this weight loss place here in town that was doing advertisements and stuff and now they're no longer advertising with me because they went to a radio station that actually has listeners and so they stopped with me so I no longer get free

Mungero or Mungaro but my doctor prescribed me Monjaro and since I still have an old diagnosis of the Betus from like two years ago where I told you I had like the the type 2 beatis not the full on Brimley beatis

but the type 2 beatis if you want to talk about sad hold up first of all let me play a couple commercials then I'll tell you something that's sort of pathetic on my part, but sort of brilliant. Hold on. Let me play a few commercials. At Fandual Casino, you get even more ways to play. Dive into new and exciting games and all of your favorite casino classics, like slots,

and what you need, what info you need to have insurance approve you. And so from what I've learned is if you just want to get like Mungaro for weight loss, which they can prescribe it for that now, but I believe if you're doing it just for something like cosmetically, like weight loss, it's not really covered by insurance completely so it could cost you hundreds of hundreds of dollars, right? And that sucks. But if you are getting it because you have the beattus,

which I did have back in 2003, my A1C was very elevated. Then you get it and it's approved and you actually get it covered. So I reached out to my doctor like immediately once I found out that I was no longer going to have this prescription, right? So, or not a prescription,

just once I found out I was no longer going to be getting this Mungaro or whatever the equivalent I was getting was. So I called the doctor and yesterday set up a teladoc conference with the doc, which by the way, such a convenient way. Like, I like this doctor. These teledocs?

Like, you just get on the phone. I didn't even do it like a FaceTime. It wasn't even a FaceTime type of deal that I was doing with my doctor. Like, it was a legitimate, like, one of these situations where, like, I just get on the phone. She just called me. So it wasn't like a scenario where I'm like, hey, FaceTime. I'm on the phone. I have to talk to the doctor.

It's awkward. I literally talked to her on the phone for 10 minutes. She goes over my blood work. She says, look, you said you were on Manjaro. I believe you. So what can I do? I mean, but your blood work says you're fine. I'm like, yeah, but that's because I've been taking Monjaro.

Therefore, my A1C, of course it's going to be lower because I've been taking it. And she's like, well, we can't really do it that way because, like, I don't have any data that shows you have low blood sugar or you're, sorry, your blood sugar is high. So if I don't have that, it's going to be hard for me to get them to give it to you through insurance. Now, they may approve it, but it might cost you a lot of money. And I'm like, well, hold tight there, friend, because I come prepared. And how did I come prepared? I've kept this little thing that was sent to me by my OG doctor in St. Louis, who was a total dick face, and I hated this guy. Like, he wouldn't give me the Monjaro.

Like, my boss at the time was taking Monjaro, and he had lost, like, you know, 60 pounds and looked like a totally different human. He went from looking like, like, like, fat James Franklin to looking like normal skinny James Franklin, right? And I'm like, how do I do this? What is this voodoo? And he says, it's Moundjaro. You should start taking Mungaro. and I'm like, how do I get it? So he sends me to his weird doctor

that's like operating out of a fucking back of a Toyota Tercell and the guy gets me prescribed for it. And my A1C was super high, right? Well, no, at that point, like I went to him because my original doctor, let me rewind a little bit. Dr. Dickface, who was my original doctor in St. Louis, this pud would not give me Manjaro. And then eventually he did, but he gave me the lowest

and he wouldn't bump me up. And I'm like, this is bullshit. We are through. are never getting back together, like ever, right? So, what did I do? I go to see my boss's whacked out doctor who's operating out of the back of a minivan, and I'm like, hey, can I get some Monjaro? And he's basically like, do you feel like you have diabetes?

I'm like, sure. And he goes, good, I'll write you a prescription for it. Because doctors are fucking scammers. Doctors are scammers. The insurance is scamming. It's like night moves. I used her, she used me, but neither one cared. That's like what the doctors and the pharmaceuticals, all that shit is in big

medicine. They just use each other. It's a fucking thing. So anyway, this guy gives me a prescription. But what I had and how I was able to get it and how I was able to get it approved is from my original doctor, Dr. Dickface. Dr. Dickface sent me all the stuff through the portal and gave me a sheet that showed me what my A1C was in June of 2023 and then what it was after I started taking the Manjaro like a couple of months later and how it went down to normal level. And I have kept that. And that is my secret weapon. That is how I'm able to continue to get Mungaro and other things. I just flash this. Like the doctor's like, why do you still have this? I'm like, because I know how to game the

system because I love Mungaro. Now, I told you all that story only because one of the most mispronounced words of the year is Moundjaro. I've been calling it Monsaro the whole time. It is not Monjaro. It is Moundjaro. And now I actually have to go to the CVS here in a little bit and go pick up my Moundjaro because I have to inject my tumbling with Moundjaro

tomorrow morning and I'm back in the game and I can do it without the pressure of having to do an endorsement through some weight loss place where they go like weigh in and they're like why haven't you lost any weight? I'm like, I don't know because I drink a fuck ton of beer. What do you want from me? All right, the third most mispronounced word of the year

is Louvre. Now, I would have pronounced it, like the Louvre. Like, are you going to the Louvre? Like, where, you know, they have the stuff, right? Like with the pictures and the paintings and the Mona Lisa and all that. It's Louvrela, is how you actually pronounce it. Louvrela. Louvra.

Number four on this list is acetaminophen, which I don't have a hard time saying. It's acetaminophen, as it is. pronounced or written out phonetically here on the site. Acetaminophen. Tylenol. Okay, that's what it is. So that's not hard. But if you'll remember back a couple of months ago when Donald Trump was like,

pregnant ladies, don't take Tylenol, Tylenol's bad. And RFK Jr. was like, oh, do you want your kids to be autistic? Well, guess what? Take Tylenol while you're pregnant. Of course, that didn't stick. They were like, turns out our bad, take all the Tylenol you want. Hell, smoke cigarettes while you're pregnant. Who the hell cares?

Let's party. but it's acetamidifin. Like, this is not hard. Like, I see people struggle with this, and I don't understand it. It's acetamidifin. Acetamin. Acetaminephin. Like, I can see where, like, if you just get used to say in Mangaro, then you say

Moundjaro or Zoron Mamdani. Mamdani, Mamdani. Let's see, Alex, or Alex Murdoch is actually Alik, Alik Murdoch. Alec Murdoch So it's not Alex Murdo It is Alec Murdoch Is what that name is

If you guys were curious I don't even know who the hell that is I guess maybe I should Apparently he's the dude in South Carolina Who murdered his wife and son I feel like there's a lot of people in South Carolina Who've probably murdered their wife and son But I'm not sure

But there have been Netflix and HBO documentaries I don't think we watch that one, so I don't know. There's also the number six on this list is the flip-flop brand. Yeah, I don't know how to say that. Havinas, it's ava-ianus, avianus. It's spelled with an H, but you don't pronounce the H. It's just avianus flip-flops. That's why I just wear Speri.

That's why I like my Sperry flip-flops, because I don't have to worry about how to pronounce it. I know how to pronounce it. It's spary. It's not hard. Now, last year's top five list included the names Kamala and Buttigich are the ones that were in there last year. But anyway, I'm excited. I get to go pick up my Mound Jaro.

Mound Jaro. So I get to do that. Every time I inject myself with the 15 Monjaro, I think about that dickhead doctor in St. Louis, and I curse him. And really, I just laugh. I'm like, oh, remember. remember when you told me that like, you know, that it'd be, if you wanted, I could just go, go buy you some crack and you could lose weight, which is what the doctor told me, by the way, when I kept telling him that I wanted Mungaro.

He's like, well, we don't even know that this is good for you. I mean, if you want, I can just tell you to go get crack in the alley if you want to lose weight. Jokes on you, dickface. Ha! I'm thriving. And it's relatively cheap, too. It's only costing me like 50 bucks a month. When I didn't have this insurance and I had our other one in St. Louis, I had to use

like a little like coupon to get it for 25 bucks like one month and then by the time it was all over it was like 400 bucks a month so take that i'm thriving you shit ah anyway more to come
