That turns into a whole conversation about muscle, metabolism, longevity, and what actually matters versus what the fitness industry keeps telling us we “should” be doing. Then Bret and I get into the Dorit and PK divorce mess, the Sports Illustrated influencer debate, why influencers honestly work harder than celebrities, and the Kim Kardashian story that has the internet fighting. We also became...
