STUDIO CITY

  • A lot of gay men in the area
    • Vinnie believes this has “enhanced” the neighborhood
  • This is where Andy lives
  • Also a lot of Jewish people in this neighborhood — LA has quite a lot of Jews

*SHOUTOUT TO TIM PAGEN, YOU’RE THE MAN!

OPRAH AND WEIGHT WATCHERS

  • Vinnie respects her, but she is not the person to look to for weight loss
  • Vinnie and she are not friends, even though he was on the show
  • When Vinnie was on Oprah, he was totally taken care of
    • check out this cougar show with Vinnie’s pants if you haven’t seen them
  • Oprah endorses Weight Watchers in a commercial in which she has a lot of excess weight
    • She is getting paid for this
    • She caused a big stir, especially on the Facebook page, when she put out a tweet about how she “loves bread” and gets to eat bread Weight Watchers
    • Smart investment for Oprah because Weight Watchers makes their money from their clients’ failures
  • Weight Watchers’ business plan from 2001: “Its members have demonstrated a consistent pattern of repeat enrollment of a number of years, signing up for an average of 4 cycles”
    • IT DOESN’T WORK! And that’s why Weight Watchers makes so much money
  • Vinnie was promised endorsement of his podcast by Oprah’s people, never got it
    • Oprah is on his “shit list”

    As a Lifetime Weight Watchers member going on 4 years, I totally disagree with your statements “Its members have demonstrated a consistent pattern of repeat enrollment of a number of years, signing up for an average of 4 cycles” and "IT DOESN’T WORK! And that’s why Weight Watchers makes so much money". Weight Watchers is the ONLY plan that has ever worked for me long-term. It caused me to change my eating habits without denying myself the things I like. I am a very picky eater. Weight Watchers allows me to eat the foods I like – it just taught me to eat them in moderation. That was it! For me it wa ALL portion control. I do not have to exercise like a complete fanatic. In fact, I rarely exercise. There is no magic weight loss pill, which you seem to be touting on your page here. Just saying.
