[@AbhishekMishra-mc7fr]

This has to be the best podcast done by Nick imo. Watching him do it with Jay, his idol, was just an amazing experience, and also hearing Jay's reactions to how Nick admires him was pretty wholesome.

[@CutlerCast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Christian95922]

Yeah but what's his favourite cheat meal

I swear jays so down to earth what an amazing human

Honestly, Jay is the most respected Bodybuilder period. ❤

[@divafever9754]

Come shave my back!

[@ryanvlasic1849]

Jay's the nicest, most approachable celebrity I've ever met. He talked to my wife and I for 15 minutes when we ran into him at a show.

[@kenkramer6761]

Nick has a awesome motivational mindset. Turning a traumatic occurrence into a relentless passionate mission is admirable.

[@CutlerCast]

Absolutely!

[@mikecina5587]

One of the best podcasts I seen with Nick. To hear him talk about his past and how he battled and wants to help others shows he’s more than someone that just cares about winning. Jay doesn’t always say a lot during these but is able to make his guests open up. This why I enjoy this podcast so much.

[@CutlerCast]

thanks for listening

[@antonhallergren588]

Nick is going beyond bodybuilding itself. He isn't a guy whos going to be remembered by how many Olympias he wins or dosen't win he'll be remembered for who he is and how he lives his life. Pure champion mentality.

[@MrCobi63]

And you know hawe he living 😂😂😂

[@antonhallergren588]

@@MrCobi63 clearly the dude lives like a monk dedicated to one thing. That is respectable and something you can only see from the results he is getting. If the average bodybuilder had Nick's structure and genetics they probably would not be pro. I'm not saying he had bad genetics but compared to some people he isn't that impressive and despite that he beats them.

[@MrCobi63]

@@antonhallergren588 Don't make me laugh please. Have you listened to this podcast? Obviously you didn't. Come on, maybe watch something and learn about his life.

@@MrCobi63 the dude hasn't missed a meal, workout or cardio session in years.

[@MrCobi63]

@@antonhallergren588 obviously you didn't watch the podcast, because if you did then you would know that he really missed training because he had a lot of posing trips.Second, you say cardio, and what about that? You know that Hadi, who doesn't travel, missed a meal, training, cardio?

[@theunkownmr.562]

It's a great time to be a bodybuilding fan. I honestly didn't think I'd see such a competitive era this soon.

[@cebukid70]

Nick Walker is the modern day Branch Warren... perennial top 5 guy, freaky AF, but not enough genetics to take the Sandow

yeah

Branch was training way fucking harder you cant compare these two

[@beewalk34]

Branch had way better legs. However, Nick has better biceps

[@Nickepickeparonpung]

Branch was at second place one year, that is not so bad, I think he was traning to heavy sometimes, but hard to not when you are in Texas at the same gym as Coleman😅

[@fayizfz]

It is crazy if you watched podcast with nick and you know jay cutler is the nick walkers idol.

[@MichaelWilliams-yg9ik]

He says this every year. It’s good that he believes in himself but if Derek improves there is no way he can beat him. I see Nick dropping to 4th, with Hadi, Derek and Samson being ahead of him

[@miker5233]

Every year he says he's going to win maybe he will maybe he won't but you should keep that to yourself

[@AchillesRPG20]

Thanks for listening

[@dr.jonathandeanpsyd1613]

Awesome segment. Nick’s mindset is AWESOME!!! Great job, GENTLEMEN 🙏🏿👌🏿👏🏿🏆🦾

[@Knowledge.to_Come]

The top 10 athletes competing today are so close in capability compared to previous decades where there was always a clear cut winner. Im convinced it will be at least a decade before we see another 7 time consecutive mr Olympia. These guys are gonna juggle the title back and forth every couple of years for the next 20 years.

[@byrondwalker702]

Awesome cast Jay. Great interview, and so much of it touched home. Nick came across with depth,class, and authenticity. Well done. Yes it is therapy. I love that zone I go to when I'm having a good session.

[@CutlerCast]

thanks for listening

[@DiscoStickDave]

Whatever you think of his physique, you have to admire the determination and work ethic of Nick.

[@joshstueber1828]

This aged poorly😂 best of wishes to nick walker recovering from the torn hamstring tho really feel sorry for him this close to show time

[@Bodybuilding109]

He’s got Kai Greenes mentality says it every year but hasn’t even been runner up yet. Sorry to say but Nick will either be 4 or 5 this year.

[@mussim2919]

I love this kind of cast! Thank you!

[@CutlerCast]

I'm glad!

[@fernandochavez476]

Either if he wins or not, I much appreciate his confidance and Im rooting for the guy, hes proving lots of doubters wrong, so never count him out, you may end up eating words ! 🤘

[@oqesu]

Worst thing ppl can do is doubt Walker, don’t know how much more he has to prove

[@musclemachine8849]

It’s crazy how Jay has crazy arms even with his age but when you look at Nick’s arms, it look like a quad more than an arm 😝😝😝💪💪

[@greghill7326]

Great Podcast! Thanks for getting Nick on the show. Incredible respect for what Nick overcame and his vulnerability to discuss it. A true champion not letting others, the past, trauma define him. Determined! Focused! Fuck yeah man. Go get that title!

thanks for the comment

Great episode. Nick is a monster and has a great attitude. Reminds me of Jay as a competitor. I think he has a great chance to win the 2023 Mr. Olympia.

[@navdimpleandourgems9781]

Nick Walker is my favourite bodybuilder right now. Met him here in Kelowna BC and also met u aswell Jay here in Kelowna Of may 2022. Great work on the podcast u guys are killin it. Love it 🔥💪🏼

Thanks for the support

In life you shouldn't focus on proving people wrong. Rather focus on proving people right. Focus on the people who support you, not the ones doubting you. Stay positive all the way through.

Nick is such an inspiration. Nicks story is phenomenal. Go Nick

[@matthewmacdonald2077]

This podcast was awesome!!! Rooting for Nick, met him in 2020 at the La fit expo (same day Kobe passed) and he was a real cool guy. I'm over 6 ft tall and I never felt so dwarfed and impressive by Nick. Nick, Larry, and Cbum were the highlights for that expo for me. He has climbed to the top since then and wasn't even a pro when I met him and I was like holy crap this guy is the real deal. Let's go Walker! #peopleschampion

[@TheGangstaz3000]

Love this young cat. So confident yet not cocky and tries to inspire others.

[@surferxblood]

Nick…one day. Keep your dream alive! Most Mr. O’s competed for literally close to 10 years and finally became Mr. O. You competed for a few years and made it to 3rd 🥉 already. Don’t get deterred by any haters. You already became a champ beyond most!

EPIC…..Jay and Nick together 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@johnbenjamin98]

Nick has every time proven people wrong when he is doubted. People think that he disrespects veterans who have done this for a long time, but he’s just confident in his own ability and that’s not arrogance at all. A lot of people when they get asked do you think you can win or place they go “I’m not sure”, with Nick he says “oh you bet I’m gonna win!” Great podcast and guest today, Jay and Matt!🙏🏼

[@xjumpmaster82]

Like he did at the last Arnold Classic?

[@mattoniy2840]

I have such a passion for nick, I truly wish him the best. Doesn’t bother me what his limitations are.. I think a certain person vibes with Nick, the go getter, the dreamer the fighter the believer. He is a champion. I’m an entrepreneur, about Nicks age.. just hit my 7 figure revenue for my brand and way more to come.. bodybuilding all my life but only casually and naturally. His mentally spans the genres , the sports it’s external I wish him all the best I’m hoping to see him succeed.

[@optimallyfitwithjasonwhite4628]

Holy shit. Nick making Jay look like he's a prepubesent boy

thanks for listening

[@Retics]

As older people, i wish they would talk reality. You can WANT to win.. in bodybuilding, you can't say you WILL win. Its out your hands. And for Matt to back up that nonsense and say, oh i haven't seen anyone else with that focus.. bull! He's the only one saying that stupid mess. You can't control what other people will think. What others will look like and who knows what might happen during the peek

[@josephhepp3078]

two of my favorites ,listening while I do back lol

[@networkdude1332]

Nick could totally win. Man he’s got the discipline and just the sheer muscle. He can overpower the aesthetics. At the end of the day, Aesthetics matter. But this game is about muscle. Nick is a bodybuilding machine.

[@PittsburghWelder]

“And after I win, I will stay there as long as I want” But right befor that folks I gotta blow out my hamstring first 😉👍🏻 😂😂

[@CutlerCast]

not sure what this comment was for?

[@PittsburghWelder]

@@CutlerCast that’s what he said on the podcast jay, lol I watch just about every single episode 😉👌🏻. But anyways I just said that cause I was very upset when that happened to him. Mainly because I thought he could win, myself. So I figured I’d crack a joke about it and try and be funny. Hope your not upset Jay, because I’m a huge fan brother 👍🏻💯 P.s It’s also cool to see you actually responding to people on your channel 👏🏻💯

[@sr-fi3pm]

Got to hand it to Nick for his self belief, and some of the best arms ever. The difficulty is the length of his torso in comparison to his legs and the low insertion of the outer quads. "I will stay as long as I want" ? Arrogant statement, You have'nt even won yet.

[@isaacayala4642]

You will crack the Top 5....maybe.

[@stevenmcquade55]

Nick is a great guy.

[@FrankZen]

I'm not a fan of his body but I admire his drive. On any given day he could do it but the competition is fierce. There's still Derek and Hadi plus Samson, Jacked, etc...

[@str8shooter822]

Im going to give Nick the best wishes and im going to also give him a give that will be his miracle outcome would me 2nd behind Samsom, unless Nicks cut brings out a different body this year. But one thing is for sure when someone sets a goal and never stops fighting to achieve that goal its very possible. But i think Nick is a few years away from winning Mr.Olympia Stay Blessed on all you can do is you best

[@simondiienno]

Any chance of getting Iain Valliere on the podcast, especially seeing as he has announced his retirement as a competitive bodybuilder.

Nick is one of the best BB in the world that fact is undeniable! Haters are going to hate, which for the life of me I don’t understand how a fan of BB can direct hate at any athlete, what these guys put themselves through is insane, tall poppy syndrome I guess! Nick being one of the best in the world is anyone surprised he’s projecting confidence in saying I’m going to win! It’s not like Hadi is walking around saying I’m going to finish 4th this year. In short HATERS are soulless flogs with nothing better to do than to try and bring others down.

[@Bt26x]

I lie Nick a lot. He’s a cool, down to earth dude but I will say, 2023 is Derick’s year. I don’t know if it’s that Nick is too freaky, but there’s just something about his overall presence that I don’t think is ever going to get him a win over the other guys.

[@shanghaiffgg]

two many people hating on Nick, he absolutely can win this year. He is focused on making the required improvements to win and this year could quite possibly be it. Just a little more on the quads and chest and continue to tighten the waist and its game on.

[@JohnDoe-12]

Focus doesn’t translate to winning the O, nice sentiment though

[@shanghaiffgg]

@@JohnDoe-12 when you are 3rd last year and making the necessary improvements it gives him a decent shot though

[@MRSALTYSHORTS]

I think guys only do classic because of Chris. Thats why it gets the hype. If you look at the timeline of classic its just because of him. Once he retires , everything will be back to just open bodybuilding
