What do you get when a jacked puppet interviews a Cancer biologist? A repisode packed with brain gains and gym gains.

This week on Reppin’ Fitness, Coach Brick Headstrong sits down with Dr. Joe Zundell to break down how the body works, what cancer actually is, how Exercise helps your immune system, and why walking totally counts as a workout. They also cover the great egg shortage, gold bars, steak dinners, and the dangers of throwing either at a house. Seriously.

Whether you’re curious about how cancer starts, want to know what kind of pre-workout a scientist takes, or just came here to see if Brick gets hungry mid-interview (spoiler: he does), this episode brings the laughs, the learning, and—of course—the reps.

If you’ve ever said:
"I don’t get what cancer is."
"Does working out really make a difference?"
"Can I just walk and still be healthy?"

Then Coach Brick says: this one’s for you!
