Conan O’Brien’s FATBat is the scary alternative to a Fitbit
Not seeing the results you want with your Fitbit? Conan O’Brien and his sidekick Andy Richter suggest a better way to get in shape. They call it the FATBat!

The FATBat, however, does guarantees results. It consists of “no diet and no gimmicks”, “no numbers or graphs”. Just a very scary guy who follows you around with a bat!
Richer says it “uses your very real flight or fight instinct to burn calories.” Who needs “fancy bracelets or athletic equipment”? You’re guaranteed to lose weight when there’s “no safe word” and “no off switch.” Just fear!
