On this episode, Bill sits down with fitness icon, wellness entrepreneur and straight-talking firebrand Jillian Michaels. Bill and Jillian settle in for a free-wheeling chat that drifts from lighthearted ribbing to debates about public health, politics, and pop culture. One minute they’re laughing about early-morning phone alerts or swapping travel stories; the next, they’re chewing over whether either political party still speaks to the middle. Big personalities and bigger opinions collide, but beneath the jokes they keep circling the same question: how do we stay sane—and a little healthier.

He's got a beard, and I don't mean the old kind of beard. I mean an actual beard. He doesn't need a beard. He's out. At one point, I think he said he doesn't believe in any vaccines.
But if he did, I would fundamentally disagree with him, personally.

Chapter 2: How does Jillian Michaels suggest we improve mental health?
So it's just so rarely as simple as black or white. The body is so complicated. I've been trying to make this case for so many years to people, and it comes up in different issues that it's just – Don't compare it to other sciences. I remember when the big thing on MSNBC was, well, if you're not for vaccines, it's like denying global warming. No, it's not.
Global warming is about climate science, which is infinitely more simple. than the body. It really is. I know. Not that I could do it, but I actually could learn enough, I think. You know, it's geology, it's chemistry.
And the reason why almost all climate scientists agree that global warming is happening and it's man-made, what we should do about it, that's a different debate, is because it's not that complicated. That's not the case with medicine. They just don't know enough.
when vaccines are so nuanced, that's something that's also like just, okay. I interviewed, um,
a PhD on this subject matter very recently, and she was explaining to me just the different technologies, let alone the different pathogens and their levels of danger, and what's dangerous for a baby versus what's dangerous for a person who's 90, and one is a dead pathogen and one is a live pathogen, but the dead pathogen vaccine has something called adjuvants in it, which were previously...
This is the old type of vaccine. You're talking about the old dead pathogen.
There's still the dead form, and they still add adjuvants. But back in the day, they would add thimerazole, which is 50% mercury by weight. Now there's aluminum and things of that nature that are specifically put in the vaccine, she was explaining to me, to wake up your immune system, to become alarmed in the event that your body is like, oh, this thing's dead. I'm not going to worry about it.
So there's that whole concern.
That's interesting.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of public alerts and mental health?
They're doing it finally.
Not AOC, not funny.
Matt Taibbi, he can be so funny. I think it was him who had the funniest line. He said, AOC is practically a police sketch drawing of what Americans don't want for a president. She's leading. But it's 2025. The election isn't for three years. This means nothing.
You know what it is?
This means nothing.
It's the fact that I thought.
You're not going to do it. I would bet my house on that. They are not going to go that route. They get it. Yes. The Democratic Party wants to survive. Every party does. As they say in Jurassic Park, life finds a way. I see it out here with the ground dogs in my lawn. I see it with the ducks. I have ducks and they go in the pool and I yell at them and they get out. I think I've trained them now.
I praise them when they stay out. I yell at them when they get in. I see it all around. Life finds a way. You know, the way the world is going, everybody could use therapy, but a lot of people I know who really need it complain that it costs a fortune, it's time consuming because of the back and forth, and sometimes is a mismatch with their personality.
Getting therapy should not be this complicated. That's why today's sponsor, Rula, was formed. Rula connects you with high-quality, vetted, licensed mental health professionals that are suited for you. And here's the best part. They take most major insurance plans. That means instead of paying hundreds out of pocket, you could pay as little as $15 per session. Getting started is easy.

Chapter 4: How is fluoride related to public health discussions?
I mean, young, yes. No, no, no, I don't mean that. I'm saying take the kid part out of it. Right. If somebody did something hideous to another human being that involved violence.
I'm not against the death penalty. I'm not either. I think the death penalty is more humane than keeping someone housed like in solitary. Solitary, that's really kind of like cruel and unusual punishment. Yeah.
So, you know, of course we all, you're probably too young to remember this, but Michael Dukakis, who ran for president in 1988, blew it when one of the debates, somebody asked, if someone raped and killed your wife, Kitty Dukakis, raped her violently at knife point, What would you do? Well, I would check the amendments. And he just should have said what you said.
I would have fucking killed the motherfucker. And he just went into politician mode and America went, no. And that's when Donald Trump said, I'm going to be president someday by just being balls out with everything and never giving a fuck what I say. And that's one pledge he's kept.
Yes, this is true.
He certainly never... You know, gives a shit what anybody thinks. He just says it. That is one of the secrets to his political success. I think it's that. We've never seen that before.
No. And I think also he sees the people in the middle of the country. And I think they felt demonized and...
Absolutely.
Attacked for such a long time.
