It's been a rough few weeks for Peloton. And to round it off, another TV show character experienced a heart attack on the interactive bike.

And to round it off, another TV show character experienced a heart attack on the interactive bike — this time it's Mike Wagner on the season 6 premiere of Showtime's "Billions."

Last month, Peloton saw an 11% stock drop immediately after the fictitious Mr. Big of "Sex and the City" famePeloton said in a statement that although they understand why their products are sometimes featured in television shows, they did not agree for their brand and IP to be used on "Billions." "As referenced by the show itself, there are strong benefits of cardio-vascular exercise to help people lead long, happy lives," a Peloton spokesperson said.

But unlike Mr Big, Wags survives — and the show even makes a nod to the "Sex and the City" plot, which was added in post production,Peloton's share price plunged more than 75% in 2021, and the company hasn't fared much better so far this year. The stock is down nearly 25% and trading at its lowest level in nearly two years.

CNBC reported Thursday that Peloton was considering pausing production of its low-end bike for two months, but CEO John FoleyPeloton became a staple for many during stay-at-home restrictions. But now consumers are returning to gyms, and the company has faced some PR headaches involving everything from crises befalling fictional television characters to product recalls. There is also more competition from upstarts selling cheaper bikes.

If I have a heart attack while watching CTV News does that mean it's bad news for CTV I wonder what's the hiring process for CTV Twitter update specialist...

Leftists madness, blaming the bike LOL

Markets can be funny. Unless Peloton is zapping people makes no sense to affect the stock price.

Don't suggest vaccines and myocarditis. That's not very sciency.

You should do a piece on the news tonight on how the bots immediately went in on the “vaccines did this” position here so the demographic of people that watch the evening news see how they’re being manipulated by these bots. Show them how transparent they are.

This is like blaming nike or addidas for all the deaths of healthy 20-30 year old soccer stars
