Who's Gonna Be There?

Our hosts revisit The Biggest Loser and the new documentary Fit for TV—but first, Jillian Michaels. Who is she and has she always been an asshole? They trace her journey from TBL to the alt-right. Blake and Kashif reflect on the return of the Presidential Fitness Test and what new moral panic it signals. Protein-mania, anti-fatness, and gym memberships.
