Badgering the Honey Badger (1x8)

Air date: Sep 03, 2014

At a gritty gym in Detroit, a blue-collar crew uses a combination of science, tough love and just-plain-crazy to train average joes alongside the top pro athletes in the country. This week Mike Barwis, Dusty, Mozes and Tank Dog tackle their biggest and most controversial client ever – the NFL’s Honey Badger, straight off a year of drug arrests and disappointment. As they struggle to bring the star back down to earth, they take on a completely different challenge: training a professional bull rider who’s about to compete in a rodeo straight out of the Wild Wild West. Meanwhile, Mozes, 275 pounds of pure American Barbarian, goes on an excruciating juice cleanse to lose weight before his honeymoon – inspiring Tank Dog to order every item from Mozes’s favorite Italian restaurant. Will Mozes survive the beefy, cheesy temptation?
