BEHIND THE CURTAIN

  • Vinnie and Gina start the show with a little chat about music, cheeseburgers, and the failure rate of veganism. (2:30)
  • Gina asks Vinnie about well-known television trainer Jillian Michaels. (7:00)
    • Vinnie shares some thoughts about her, the show “The Biggest Loser” and what he knows went on behind the curtain.
    • Vinnie had a chance to audition for the show and gives reasons why he chose not to.
    • He and Gina believe Jillian is probably behaving as directed, however:
      • It’s a horrible way to treat people who are desperate to get help.
      • The show’s whole premise comes across as trying to help but is actually humiliating to the contestants.
  • Vinnie then shares a bit about his experience training Margaret Cho and the one thing he laments about it. (27:30)
  • Don’t forget to look for Gina and Bryan Bishop (aka “Bald Bryan”) on YouTube here.
  • PLUS… Vinnie reveals a Pure Coffee Club special Promo Code. (LISTEN FOR IT!)
