JOURNEY TO CAROLLA

  • Many listeners found Vinnie through the Carolla Show.
  • This is how he and Gina linked up, too.
  • Vinnie's now been on the show 86 times, and he still goes on periodically. 
  • Howie Mandel mentioned the show to Vinnie, but it took him awhile to meet Adam and make his way to the show, via Dr. Drew and others.

FAT SHAMING

  • Most recently, he was on a couple of weeks ago.
    • They spoke about fat shaming, and how it simply will not work.
      • Those who are morbidly obese and feel sick do not want to feel that way.
  • It's okay to love your body, and accept who you are and where you are without glorifying it.
  • Morbid obesity isn't healthy, but shaming people is wrong.
  • Inspiring people and showing people they can live healthily with relative ease is the way to go.
  • Different people have different breaking points -- but making people feel bad isn't what gets people there.
    • For Scott King, for example, he reached his breaking point when he realized he couldn't run into the street to bring his child back to safety.
      • Now, he's lost quite literally hundreds of pounds and is a triathlete.
