Summary
Who’s hijacking the internet?
It started out, you'd pick up a phone and you'd call or text one other person. But now, we’re all in these separate little online groups.
We're connected but it's also been co-opted. And it attacks us from so many different directions.
And no matter how much they try to bury us, we can still find each other, we just might need to try a little bit harder.
Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show today is long-time friend, fellow podcaster, and multi-talented maniac Vinnie Tortorich.
Vinnie is a Celebrity Fitness Trainer, speaker, cancer survivor, bestselling author, and creator of the hit documentary Fat: A Documentary.
And as usual, he holds no punches in today's interview.
Vinnie is a OG trainer and coach for 30+ years, training Hollywood comedians and celebrities like Howie Mandel, playmates, captains of industry, ultra-athletes, Ironman triathletes, and even pregnant moms.
And on today’s show, we’re chatting about:
- Mass shadowbanning and censorship of leaders in health and fitness
- The mystery of the disappearing Wikipedia pages
- Why you should stop everything you're doing right now and go watch FAT: A Documentary
- Vinnie's recommendations for handling crazy
- How to stay fit even during lockdown
- Why jumping rope isn't just for little girls
- And tons more…

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the Fat Burning Man Show, where we talk about real food and real results. |
| 0:14.8 | Is fat good or bad for us? I can't think of a better man to talk to about fat than best-selling author, documentarian, |
| 0:23.7 | and host of the Fitness Confidential podcast, our friend Vinnie Torterich. This multi-talented |
| 0:29.4 | maniac created the hit documentary, Fat, and as usual, he holds no punches in today's interview. |
| 0:36.1 | Before we get there, here's a quick note that |
| 0:37.9 | came in from Rich. He says, Hi, Abel, I have listened to your podcast, and believe it or not, |
| 0:43.9 | I've lost 17 pounds during this pandemic. It is amazing what happens when you eat natural foods, |
| 0:51.1 | don't eat out much, and exercise. Thank you for all of your information, Rich. |
| 0:56.5 | Rich, you hit it on the head right there. That's amazing. Pretty simple, right? Eat natural foods, |
| 1:02.2 | don't eat out much, and exercise. If you just do those things, a lot of them now kind of built |
| 1:07.4 | into our lifestyles, especially the not eating out part, whether we like it or not. |
| 1:11.9 | If you put these simple things into action, even these small little things can add up to big |
| 1:17.3 | results over the length of a pandemic. 17 pounds, Rich, my wife tells me in the show notes here |
| 1:23.5 | that 17 pounds is about the weight of a 20 inch flat screen TV, almost the size of my |
| 1:28.6 | monitor here. So I'm not going to pick it up, but I would imagine it's pretty nice to have that |
| 1:32.3 | off your frame. So good on you for putting all of this into action. Now, if you're listening |
| 1:37.6 | and you'd like to get in touch, if you have a question for me, if you'd just like to connect |
| 1:42.5 | in any way, shoot me an email to Abel at |
