Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for tuning in to Fat Burning Man, where we help you look, feel and perform at your best.

Did you know that many people who sign up for marathons actually gain weight?

Our friend Vinny Tortorich is back on the show this week and as usual he's holding no punches and telling it like it is.

Vinny is of course a celebrity trainer, podcaster, speaker, cancer survivor, and best-selling author of fitness confidential.

He's the real deal and he's been selling out crowds lately, do his comedy club shows out in LA, even though he says he has no idea what he's doing.

He and Anna Vochino, his co-host and fellow comedian, had me on their podcast recently by the way, fitness confidential is the name of that one as well.

Don't miss it because I'm spilling the beans.

We all are actually on the way that showbiz actually works.

Also stay tuned for Anna Vochino coming up as a guest of Fat Burning Man on this show to talk about her new cookbook, Eat Happy.

I'm actually recording with her right after I finish recording this so I better be quick and it's a little bit trippy.

But before we get to the show, I wanted to thank everyone who came out to hear me speak and play music this past weekend in Austin, Texas.

If you came you know that my parents flew in from Florida which was totally a last minute thing and my dad plays the banjo and my mom plays the standup base.

So we actually played some old time bluegrass music, howling out tunes at the Palmer Street Festival in Austin.

And we did a surprise, actually a couple of surprise after hour shows more on that soon and we may even share a few of those tunes.

But I have to say that hanging out with Brian, Alicia, Kenny and Mandy, Tammy and all the other folks from our community at the tribe party was definitely the highlight of the weekend for us.

Pat some past guests of Fat Burning Man stopped by the party that we threw including Mark Sisson, Mary Shanuda, Kyle Brown, Drew Manning, Joshua Weissman who is actually coming over tonight to cook us dinner.

I think it's going to be a duck breast and he also cooks a mean sourdough.

So watch out for him coming up on the show once again.

And Tommy Whitaker who was just on the show a few weeks ago to share his story of dropping over 120 pounds with the wild diet came up and met us and we got to hang out for a while.

And Tommy, if you're listening to this so great to meet you man and everyone else, thank you so very much for making the trip.

We hope for this to be the beginning of something and we really want to throw more events and make this a community based thing.

So thanks for your help in making that happen at least at a small scale here in Austin at the beginning.
