Dr. John A. King describes a ridiculous encounter with his friend Ned Sjokopovic, a Croatian-Armenian who calls him fat and makes him wear a girdle as part of a fake bodybuilding program built on intimidation and public humiliation. King questions whether Ned is actually helping or just messing with him.
Hey, how you doing? So, you know, so you know Ned Sjokopovic. So he's this Croatian Armenian guy with a really bad accent. I'm an Australian guy with a really bad accent. So most of the time that Ned and I are talking to each other, we actually don't know what each other's saying. And so we work it out. That's why we text a lot. So the first thing, like this last trip, he gave me this t-shirt. I think it had something to do with the hair because he's bald and he's jealous. He's got like follicle envy. So, so he's making LMAO jokes, egg jokes on me. There's another thing that really concerns me. 'Cause, you know, at One Shot we believe in the 3 tenets of motivational training. Intimidation, fear, and public humiliation. So anyway, Sakharovich gets a hold of me and says, you're a bit fat. You know, he does it in his Sakharovich/Schwarzenegger voice. John, you're a bit fat. Got to win. Get skinny, get skinny. So he does that whole thing. Huh, bald, no hair, Sasquatch. So he do all this thing last time I'm up there. So he makes me buy this girdle. So I'll show you the girdle. Okay. So yeah, I know, I'm ungraceful. And I've got to have this on because of— Thanks, mate. So anyway, you can't really see a silly thing. So anyway, so I've got the weight belt on here. So I've got to wear the weight belt. But then, see the love handles? I've got to get rid of the love handles. So he makes me wear this thing. It's a bloody girdle. He's got me wearing a girdle. I'm supposed to be in some bodybuilding competition, you know what I mean? So the problem is, I don't know if he's like, Having a go? I don't know if he just sits around in his head making up things and how can I get back at him because he's actually got hair. So if anyone else out there has to wear a girdle in prep for bodybuilding competition, can you let me know? Mind you, let me just tell you this, he made me this fat. He put me on a diet and said, we're going to bulk you, give you muscles, you're too skinny, too skinny. And he makes me fat, then he tells me I'm fat, Then he's got me in some girl girdle. Anyway. Sack of povich. One shot.
