After some final discussion about GLP-1s, this conversation entails Roger Green summarizing what he has heard in the episode so far and testing for confirmation or correction. It goes fast and covers significant ground. 

Naim Alkhouri starts this conversation by discussing patients for whom he would prescribe resmetirom vs. GLP-1s. Lean MASH patients are likely to receive resmetirom. Earlier fibrosis patients are more likely to receive semaglutide. A multimorbid F3 patient might receive both. 

Roger asks how things might change with tirzepatide, since it is a dual agonist with strong MASH-lowering effects. Naim expresses doubt that tirzepatide will be antifibrotic, since neither GLP-1 nor GIP have direct liver effects. He has more faith in the glucagon dual- and triple-incretin agonists. 

The rest of the conversation involves Roger stating themes he has heard earlier and asking for confirmation or amendment. It moves pretty fast, covers a lot of territory, and receives some agreement and some correction.
