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

Vinnie’s love of introducing his favorite music on the show continues early in this one. He kicks off this podcast with a clip of guitar great Stevie Ray Vaughn. About midway through the show, they play back an old Mars candy ad from 30 years ago (link above). Vinnie then rants on Bob Harper. This leads to Vinnie’s update on why his book has been delayed. Later, they get into some superfan shout-outs.

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

Vinnie and Anna begin this show discussing metabolism. He goes into detail about the “calorie in, calorie out” method of losing weight and quashes a list of diet myths. That leads to the interview with Jonathan Toker. The topic turns to the difficulties of ultrasports. They then talk about the origin of Salt Sticks.

Vinnie and Anna talk Chi Running with the beautiful and lovely Serena Scott Thomas.

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

Serena Scott Thomas is in studio for an interview. Early in the show, they talk about the good Senator, Gary Hand. Check out the “before and after” photos below. Around April, he weighed at least 250 pounds. By mid November, he was down to 210. He’s currently 200, and has gone from a size 42 jeans to a 34. “This first picture is the reason why I decided I needed to lose weight,” Gary says. “I look ten years older…and check out that chin!” Vinnie then mentions neuroscientist Molly Crockett from TED. They later talk about the possibility of Vinnie giving a talk for TED. Serena and Vinnie then recall the time they broke up. Vinnie later mentions the newsletter he’ll start sending out, which can be found on www.vinnietortorich.com. Serena tells of her experience in her latest ultra marathon. That leads to a discussion about electrolytes. Serena later explains Chi Running.

Vinnie and Anna interview Ultracyclist record holder David Holt.

Vinnie and Anna discuss the mindless morning chat shows, flu shots, dehydration prevention (hint: it’s not what you think), how to gain lean muscle mass for men, and how to get rid of back pain.

Vinnie declares a fitness goal: to kayak the entire length of Bayou Lafourche non-stop.  Follow up on the Olympics, the validity of TRX and Green Coffee Extract, and the dangers of Gatorade.

Vinnie and Anna reveal results from eating the no sugar-no grains way.  Vinnie coins his own phrase: Carnivorous Vegan, and invites tobacco and alcohol companies to be podcast sponsors.  Discuss.
