In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Danny Cahill and Tracey Yukich, two contestants from season eight of "The Biggest Loser," about their experiences on the show and the new Netflix documentary, "Fit for TV." We delved into the intense and often controversial environment of the series, discussing the extreme workouts, the psychological impact of the trainers, and the lasting effects on contestants' lives. Danny shared his journey to the show, motivated by his wife's encouragement, while Tracey recounted her initial hesitations and eventual decision to audition. Both guests reflected on the challenges of maintaining weight loss after the show and emphasized the need for better aftercare programs for contestants. Their candid insights provided a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding "The Biggest Loser.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
