Chris shares insights on modern fitness fads like cold plunging, walking backwards, biohacking with wearables, animal flow movements, and weighted everything—offering balanced perspectives on their benefits and risks. The hosts then dive into a list of outdated and dangerous historical health remedies, including bloodletting, radium tonics, mercury treatments, arsenic beauty wafers, and vinegar dieting, highlighting how some of these were once widely accepted. Throughout, the dialogue is peppered with jokes about pets, bathroom mishaps, and gym culture, blending absurdity with genuine fitness wisdom.
