“Brosé” Just a Couple of Bros, Drinkin’ Rosé and Talkin’ Fitness.
Treatment for a Television Series / Created by Kenneth J. Yoder, Mike Geraghty, & Dr. Dusten Nelson
Main Characters:
Dr. Dusten Nelson is the world-class strength coach, WBFF Pro, and doctor of Chinese Medicine. Dusten is our straight man.
Mike Geraghty is the rough and rowdy “cowboy-bro.” His comedy comes from being a big, bad tough guy who puts it all on the line at the gym but has a limited understanding of fitness science.
Synopsis:
Brosé is a comedy talk show where our resident comedy genius, Mike Geraghty, and Dr. Dusten Nelson get tipsy on rosé while discussing the complex and broadly misunderstood field of health and fitness. Each episode opens with “rough-around-the-edges-bro,” Mike Geraghty, sharing a slightly TMI personal anecdote about his health and fitness with ‘former-bro’ and fitness personality Dr. Dusten Nelson. Dusten responds with deep empathy and high-level information that can help Mike along his fitness journey. Also, they get “kinda-drunk-ish”. (This part is a bonus.)
Brosé is meant to be hilarious and engaging in a way that makes the audience highly receptive to Dr. D’s point of view about fitness and wellness. The structure is very much in the tradition of the comedy “double act,” wherein one character of a comedy duo is wild and outlandish (Mike) and foiled by a straight man (Dr. D). It’s like Laurel and Hardy, but for modern health and fitness.

“Poser” 100 Days of Fitness
Treatment for a Documentary Feature / Director: Kenneth J. Yoder
Main Characters:
Dr. Dutsen Nelson is the world-class strength coach and doctor of Chinese Medicine.
Kenneth Yoder is the director of the film and has cast himself in the role of “Average Joe.”
Synopsis:
Poser – An out-of-shape everyman lives the life of a professional bodybuilder for one hundred days, eventually coming to terms with his abusive inner demon.
Poser: 100 Days of Fitness is a feature documentary film that chronicles the impossibly intense fitness journey of a 40-year-old “Average Joe” as he completely transforms his “dad bod” physique in only one hundred days. Under the expert guidance of strength coach and fitness personality Dr. Dusten Nelson, this Average Joe will live the life of a professional bodybuilder. He will do everything it takes to go from flabby to fit with the ultimate goal of stepping on stage in the transformational division of a professional bodybuilding event.
Poser is meant to be a self-deprecating peek into the world of fitness and body transformation from the layperson’s perspective. The tone is intended to be motivational in the same manner as The Biggest Loser but presented with the cringy fish-out-of-water energy of Super-Size Me.
