First 90 secondsGraham Norton· Host0:00
You there, with the illness. [laughs] [laughs] If you can stand, stand there.
Maria McErlane· Host0:04
Whenever I meet anyone new, I like to picture them naked.
Graham Norton· Host0:07
Yes, you do.
Maria McErlane· Host0:08
[laughs] [laughs] Is that so wrong?
Graham Norton· Host0:11
[laughs] Then you live in Hastings. [laughs] I wondered what the point of having children was. [laughs] If I'd known there was a free drink involved [laughs] You can become an alcoholic. I'd have squeezed one out ages ago. [upbeat music] Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to this week's SoSo Offering Advice from myself and my good friend Maria McKerlin. It's Wanging On with Graham and Maria. Hello.
Maria McErlane· Host0:35
Nice to see you, Graham. How are you?
Graham Norton· Host0:37
I'm very well. You're looking, Graham... May I say you're looking quite trim.
Maria McErlane· Host0:40
Trim, am I?
Graham Norton· Host0:42
Are you? Are you on the...
Maria McErlane· Host0:43

Maria McErlane· Host0:53
Well, Mounjaro, Wegovy, I think there's another one. They're all the same GLP-1s, which is, you know, some sort of blocker.
Graham Norton· Host1:00
And is it like your diabetic pen? Do you just, like, stick it in your thigh?
Maria McErlane· Host1:03
It's... I have tried it.
Graham Norton· Host1:04
Oh, really?
Maria McErlane· Host1:05
Yeah, because I put on a bit of weight when I was on steroids [laughs] because of my bodybuilding, obviously.
Graham Norton· Host1:10
[laughs] Of course. [laughs] Yes. Miss Universe won't lift her own crown.
Maria McErlane· Host1:14
[laughs] [laughs] No, I had a lung issue, so I had some steroids, and they're horrible and hateful, but they do make you chub up.
Graham Norton· Host1:21
Oh.
Maria McErlane· Host1:22
So I was a bit vain about that, and so I thought, "Ooh, I'll get some Ozempic," which is very easy to get. It's awful to say.
Graham Norton· Host1:27
You just buy it, can't you?
Maria McErlane· Host1:28
