(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.
