Angriest Trainer 109: The Sinastr Interview

Vinnie and Anna interview the genius behind Sinastr, whose name we cannot reveal (because we don’t know it).

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Vinnie leads off this episode talking about his epic day off. Later, Vinnie sets the record straight about his Oprah appearance. He agreed to participate in the “Where are they now” piece if they allowed him to mention this podcast and his book. Apparently, there was some sort of oversight, and all mention of the book and show ended up cut. I hope you’re sitting down…Vinnie gets quite angry over the whole deal. He calls out the usual suspects when it comes to ratings grabs, like Octomom and Dennis Rodman. Vinnie then mentions his involvement with The Tom Chenault Show. Later, they get Sinastr on the phone for a chat. Like Vinnie, Sinastr is also from Louisiana. Turns out, Sinastr saw himself in an unflattering light in a sex tape, and decided to make a change with his health. Weighing in at 270 pounds, he dropped all the way to 200. “You know how hard it is to lose one pound in southern Louisiana?” Vinnie asks. Why did Sinastr trust Vinnie? He didn’t have anything to sell.
