Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I have been watching a Netflix documentary and it's
affecting me in a very strange way. Sky. You watched it,
You told me about it and recommended The Biggest Loser documentary.
They did a whole documentary on the TV, the old
TV show The Biggest Loser.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
So let me get this straight.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You watch a ton of true crime with murders, kidnappings, rape,
but The Biggest Loser has effected gotten in there.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's gotten It's affected me, but probably not in the
way that you're thinking.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
We ain't done yet. It's time for the one podcast find.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yet completely uncensored and unacting filtered except for that part
the party.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
The show's after show starts now.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, yeah, I could definitely watch, uh, you know, any
kind of series about you know, stuff and bodies into
barrel or like Dahmer Yes, eating stuff crazy and oh god,
oh he ate cocks, he ate everything.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Drilled a hole in a guy's head while it was
a lot Ye, shut the fuck up. That's so crazy
watch it. No, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
I'm way too sensitive to consume any of this.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
If you're loving The Biggest Loser, but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Wild to me that you'll watch this kind of shit
and like right before bed too, like.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Serious wild to me that you actually watched The Biggest
Loser when it was airing and didn't ever tell me
how horrible of a show it was.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh, you didn't watch The Biggest Loser? It was you
didn't either, Oh, I thought like everybody was watching it,
like it.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Was a very popular show. It was a very popular show.
But I couldn't watch that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You loved reality TV?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, but I don't know. There was something about, you know,
these giantly overweight people getting screamed at and how to
lose weight, and then it was a lot. So I
never was into it. I know you watched it back
in the day.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
It just it kind of was unhealthy because it would
lose weight. So fair.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
You have no idea, You have no idea. You got
to watch this documentary, would love to watch it. It's insane.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You gotta be a real sick person to like it
in the beginning when it was.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
On, which is which excuse me, Okay, kind of chick
that has baker you learn for them.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm just saying that if we go back and look
at anything that we used to watch, especially reality TV
back in the day, our twenty twenty five brains will
be like, that's so fucked.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, we tricked this whole group of.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Women to think this guy was a millionaire, and then
they're that's brilliant, and then they're sucking.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I was watching old wrestling cups from by ninety nine
and Jeff Jarrett was beating the crap.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
But to eighty year olds, that's fine. Eighty year old
eighty year old women, women, that's them in the rooms.
So like, yeah, the flavor of Love he would name
the women. Yes, it was. It was a different time,
but it was great to me. We didn't realize this
Loser was like it was weird.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It was always time.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I thought it was weird.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Oh did you because I didn't screaming at these people,
and I thought it was inspirational. I would like cry,
being so happy for the contestants at the time.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah. So they did this whole docuseries on The Biggest Loser,
and you're right. One of the episodes is about how
freaking unhealthy this was. You know that they were dropping
weight like this and not eating enough calories, and then
the trainers were disagreeing with the actual medical doctors who
were like, what are you guys doing and they're like, no,

(03:26):
you you need to listen to us, not the doctor.
And these people were like dying left and.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Right, saying that the doctor basically they really die.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
One person almost died where literally all of her organs
shut down and you.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Have to lose weight the right way.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
But the trainers are saying that the doctor had God
complex because like.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
He's telling them, yeah, you can't do it like this.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Yeah, you have to lose weight, and also you need
when you lose weight, you have to make it a lifestyle.
You can't just try to lose weight as fast as
you can.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, that's the game. The game is how much weight
you could lose. Every week, they would put them up
on a giant scale. Sure it's embarrassing, yes, yeah, and
then they would hope that they would lose enough weight
so they wouldn't get eliminated.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
And then because you win money, yeah, and then.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
At the end you win money whoever loses the most
amount of weight. It was the most insane concept of
all time. And then this is what I didn't realize
about this fucking terrible show, is that they would put
them through different challenges and stuff like that. Like a
couple of the challenges. One is called the Temptation challenge,
where they would put all the fat people in the

(04:33):
very beginning in a room and they'd have like pizzas
and cookies piles and basically say basically say, yeah, you
can win an advantage if you eat the food. So
they're fucking with them. You're like they're trying to lose
weight and go if you eat that pizza, you get
an advantage.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
So all week you've been starving yourself in the gym
twelve hours a day, but you could like see your
family if you ate like an Italian pizza god.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
And these poor people are crying and they're eating the
pizza to.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Be sick in the head like that. I wouldn't watch that.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It was weird.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
One of the challenge, Guy, what the is wrong with you? Man?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Entertainment inspiration?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
You make what you make? One fat joke around Sky
She loses back at the ranch. She's laughing her ass
off watching people cry over eating the pizza.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Ironically, they called it the ranch where they would go
to work out.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yes, look the worst out of all I believe it, dude.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
One of the challenges the challenges they had to build
a tower with food only using their mouths. I swear
to God, I swear to God. It's in their mouths.
They have to move it and they they're not supposed to.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well, yeah, they've been in the gym just drinking water.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
And that was That was on network television.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
It wasn't on like like Flavor of Love and all
Ship was on v H one.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like like twenty Money.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Twenty million people tuned into the finale like like we're all.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Watching this thinking it's inspirational of us.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Million Americans, inspiration making about making a mortarly old beast
guy you want a cupcake and move it around with
his mouth, but not you, because that's the.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Way in when they're so happy that they've lost so
much and then they talk about how they've struggled their
their life and they're not doing doing it or they're finally.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
But they're not doing it for the right reasons. They're
doing him to win money.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, of course, but they're not talking about that. They're
talking about this is going to change their life. They're
going to get to play soccer with their kids finally,
and like all this ship.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Beautiful movie with their mouths.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
That's so fucked up. Did they have to like watch
other people eat in front of them?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
They probably, Yeah, It's it's like this is like a concentration.
It's awful. My god, I'm watching this fucking thing and
I'm just like, this is the worst thing I've ever
seen in my life. I can't believe Sky was a
fan of this, Like this is crazy. And there and
there and the trainers don't even get me started on them.
There they are. I mean, Jillian Michaels one of the

(07:26):
worst human beings on.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
The planet, but she in the documentary.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
No, so she's the only one. The other guy, Bob,
he's in it, and he's horrific.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Did he come out saying like he shouldn't have done.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
That or no, he's stand by everything. Yeah. The doctor,
who's like the main doctor on the show, he's kind
of the one who's like, yeah, this so wasn't great.
Oh really Yeah. So anyway, I'm sitting there watching this
and I'm never one. I'm I'm like, whatever about myself.
I don't I don't really look at myself in a
certain way. The word gets really like wild body dysmorphia.

(08:00):
If the guy, if the guy eats one bad thing,
he's spirals like, I'm not like that. I lived my life.
It is what it is. This is who I am
at this point. I don't know. I'm not a big,
you know, workout guy that's very well known.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I wi packouts.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I don't care. And I've sort of been I've had
one wild weight fluctuation in my life where I got
really fat and then I ended up losing a ton
of weight, and I've been the same ever since. And
that's from like high school to about two thousand and
four ish, I kind of weighed the same, and then

(08:34):
from like, oh I fucking fell off the map when
I moved here to San Diego. I mean, I don't
know what happened. I gained like fifty pounds. It was crazy.
It was okay, I know what it was. It was drinking.
I was drinking a lot, yeah, and it killed me.
And so I chilled out on that. I stopped partying
as much, and then I just I lost a bunch
of weight, and so I've sort of been the same
weight again for another I don't know, ten fifteen years,

(08:58):
and I basically am in between like two ten and
two fifteen, and I never go higher than that, and
I never go lower than that. That's just where I live.
I don't know what it is. I don't gain a
ton of weight. I don't lose a lot of weight.
It's just where I've always sort of been. That's just
how I am. I've always been a big guy, you know,
So I don't think too much about it. It is
what it is. And so I'm sitting there watching The

(09:18):
Biggest Loser and I'm like, these guys, these people literally
weigh over four hundred pounds. They're crazy. And then you're
seeing them guys disgusted, Okay, sitting there seeing them with
their shirts off, and I'm like, fuck, is that what
I look like? Do I look like these guys?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
So you're getting like bodies.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I'm starting it's getting in my head of like do
I look like the guys from the Biggest Loser. I
can't look like that. I mean, they're two hundred pounds
more than I. But I for some reason, it's affecting me,
and I think I'm going to start working out because
now nothing crazy. I'm not joining in the gym. Don't
get it fucking twisted. Okay, but I own a peloton

(09:59):
which I bought from my wife. That doesn't get used.
Don't get me started. Can I do a peloton every day?
