This guy gives personal trainers a bad name. His comment that Angie is “hot” and out of Trevor’s league was really disrespectful and in poor taste. He also joked about how he mocks other podcasters, insinuating that he’s so much better. Is this really the kind of person you want on your show? He’s also not the first person (far from it) to espouse the bennifits of NSNG.
You guys have done a great job building a classy, family friendly podcast and I’ve really enjoyed listening. Please don’t give this egotistical clown or his book anymore airtime.
Hi Brian. I really didn’t mind it when Vinnie said Angie was “hot” because I agree with him. Angie is a knock out (in my humble unbiased opinion). I didn’t feel disrespected but thank you for your concern.
Also, he really didn’t mock any podcasters. Before we started recording he was talking about making the rounds on other shows. He’s miffed at a certain podcaster (who I had never heard of) because the guy never reciprocates any favors.
Thank you for the nice comments about our podcast!
He is a jerk. Not a good look.
