I Yam What I Yam with Bronston Jones

Comedian Alex Hooper & host Bronston Jones booked a fun  weekend of NorCal road gigs -- San Fran, Humbolt & Santa Cruz... Then California caught on fire. Freeways, byways & direct detours were shut down. PG&E shut off power for 1000s of square miles, dozens of towns, millions of people and all those gas stations too. 

Alex & Bron were always safe, but they ended up stuck in a 3 hour line for gas... So they did what comics do... they podcasted.

Yoga teacher, high school football coach, masters student & good friend, JB Battung chats with @IYamPod's Bronston on the sand under Venice Pier after leading him through an hour of beach yoga. 

JB was the quintessential "All-American" boy: mid-western, suburban, white, middle-class, Christian, good looking, 4.0 GPA star quarterback recruited by an Ivy League business school... Now, he's dedicated to teaching yoga and learning eastern philosophies.

Mary Jo Smith is an actor, writer, director, storyteller and VP at ABC. She's also one of Bronston Jones' best friends and life long inspirations. Mary Jo invited Bronston into her house and shared her life stories with him. He loves her for it.

Mechanical engineer and documentary film-maker Brian Sanders (IG @food.lies) joins host Bronston Jones to talk about the Sapien Lifestyle... Diets suck, lifestyles are sustainable! Brian has definitely lead our "I Yam what I Yam" multi-career life experience. He went from high-school science nerd to amusement park ride designer to film-maker obsessed with society's proper dietary needs. He's become an expert on nutrition and offers the "Sapien Lifestyle" as an alternative.

Comedian, personal trainer and all around awesomeness Stasia Patwell talks host Bronston Jones through being born covered in shit to hoping to die with kids wiping her butt. Stasia did a previous Gotta Eat your Spinach fast weight loss episode, but this one focuses on a life's journey from a dictionary editor's daughter at prissy private schools to a tattooed Venice gangster's girlfriend to a her sober and healthy life now. Life is a journey.

US Army Golden Knights Parachute Team's SFC Jon Ewald and SFC Chris "Ace" Acevedo talk to Bronston Jones right after they all jumped out of an airplane. If you think you love your job, listen to these two guys who are living their best life.

British Comedian Jeff Leach visits Bronston Jones in his home for a full "I Yam What I Yam" episode. You might have heard Jeff's Spinach episode about health & fitness, but on this @IYamPod he talks about the time he died and the time that he broke the Matrix and watched the world move in reverse for 15 minutes. Just another day in the park.

Comedian and Personal Trainer Leo Flowers inspires Bronston Jones... actually in this episode you can hear the moment Leo inspired the Gotta Eat Your Spinach separate episodes. Leo is the founding member of #TeamBron, even if he doesn't know it. Just never ask him to put your carry-on in the overhead.

Comedian, Venetian, Personal Trainer and Personal Friend Stasia Patwell answers Bronston's questions about crash diets. He's plateaued on his weight loss challenge so begs for some loss weight quick tips. Disclaimer: she doesn't recommend this, but she says it's will work. Disclaimer 2: Stasia has a few question about why Bron wants to skydive, so you'll hear him try to explain it. Crash Diet. No Crash landings.

This is a very special "You Gotta Eat Your Spinach... OR NOT!" episode. Our guest, engineer, filmmaker and nutrition expert Brian Sanders actually tells Bronston Jones that too much spinach might not be that good for you. Like a lot of nutritional advice, some of what Brian says conflicts with some of what others have told us. Listen in and learn about the Sapien diet.
