[@blakehannon4864]

If you're a true pod fan and you sought this out after you heard the Bro Chat where they talked about the episode with all the negative comments, give this a "like."

[@pinoyaesthetics]

Hahahhaha. My 1st thought was Doug Miller. This guy was 2nd. 😂

[@michaeldevore1003]

It was so obvious haha

Fuck, he reminds me of Shawn Ray lol

[@littlefatsilverback2080]

I guess its 51:41mins on the treadmill in the morning for me then 👍

[@littlefatsilverback2080]

I'm back after yesterday's bro chat because I assume this is the episode that wasnt so popular

[@carltonrussell728]

Only time he sounded genuine is when he spoke about his lady. He should tap into being himself a lot more and bury the captain America act

[@buckast3907]

Dudes a weirdo! Lmao

[@danleonhardt4360]

He struggles hard on interviews. The one he did with desktop bodybuilding wasn’t good

[@brandenbertero5936]

I was going to say fucking say that

[@roblockhart8410]

[@brandontmalloryddb]

I appreciate you Hoss . This guy really made this so difficult man , Hard to learn from him. Thanks for the episode.

[@skaBABBLZ]

This was definitely the podcast fouad was talking about when he couldn’t handle deleting the amount of roast comments compared to any podcast he’s done in the latest bro chat lol

[@nickshinn7012]

I thought it was the Broderick Chavez one tbh

[@jpgrandi]

Geez man it's almost like a Kai Greene interview. Just rambling and going around in circles. We just wanna hear if you eat less rice and lower the water going into a show, but the guy simply decides to talk over and over about how his mindset is the shit

[@ArMiNiSfUCkinRedicK]

😂😂😂 Kai goes to my gym even overhearing him hes the same way in real life 100%.....the guy be talking bout some crazy shit.......he can talk to himself for an hour if he had to

[@mario.221]

Exactly what I thought since the first question

[@amfitness5598]

This. I immediately said he reminds me of how Kai answers questions and is all over the place!

[@bigsnake2032]

5 minutes in and I can tell his just a fake person. Trying to put in a persona to be the “perfect dude”. Cliche motivation quotes lmao Fouad if you ready this, you’re awesome but never have this dude on again lmao

[@danleonhardt4360]

A few bongs would have had him on a normal level ffs

[@jlnew10]

Derek is a great bodybuilder but I got nothing out of this interview. It was simply vague and lacking in general content. Just about had enough when he blamed last years condition on 3 swedish fish and a sip of water...........

[@danleonhardt4360]

Thank god fouad called him on that

[@tsmith-eu4cg]

Dude didn’t say anything of substance in 51 minutes

[@stoph8n24]

Always sucks when the interviewer is trying their best to pull & the interviewee is just shunning it. Follow this with an Antoine Vaillant podcast & it'll be electric! ⚡⚡😂

[@full.rom.fitness]

Antoine is a fkn champ

[@michaeldevore1003]

He needs to stop trying to be captain America and be real.

[@DiMiTri-ys7ei]

Dude seems too cocky..

[@jasonrichardson8324]

Not sure why he is so hesitant to discuss his diet and prep strategy. Most bodybuilders are pretty open in regards to that.

[@bettertraining3491]

15 minutes. Just keeps giving non-answers and repeating his mantra. Like the guy, but boring, uninspiring & flat. Sorry

[@ChaseIrons]

He keeps talking about being yourself and being you and being real... and then shares nothing about himself... doesn’t share his hardships... doesn’t even share his weight. It’s almost like he’s Kai Greene but we all know kai’s hardships and where he came from at least 😂 When he gets 2nd or 3rd this year he’s gonna be a whiny girl about it

[@ArMiNiSfUCkinRedicK]

Spot on accurate chase...he does do the kai green rambling but kais much more sincere to his credit.....

[@bignig1995]

Yeah, and Nick Walker

[@achillesleon5545]

It's RBP so he's branching out, I believe that's the point of it. I do agree though, love all of em, and Cedric too.

[@Vansant_ifbb]

Derek somethingferd presents "212 ways to call yourself the most dedicated, committed, focused, god first, been through struggles, hardest working, set in a routine, greater than you always person." Its a no for me dawg.

[@jorgemadrigal911]

I could only bare 6 min of this. This dude sounds fake. Love your podcast Fouad. I mean no Disrespect to you.

[@lukeydukey20]

Wish he would have opened up a bit. I respect his privacy, but I think there’s something in opening up and how the public sees you, sort of like the “bro chats” with Cedric.

[@Kevin-21]

I love the podcast and love Fouad but that was......fake?, rehearsed?, corny? Idk what word best fits that dude

Lol

[@RastaMan3000]

Sent from bro chat

[@Angeliquestrength_fit]

Well definitely not the best podcast. Fouad did a great job trying to keep steering the conversation back to questions that might get him to open up. But this conversation could have been talking about anyone at the top in bodybuilding with a background in wrestling. I've heard his name plenty but learned nothing about the person other than he works hard and is competing in this years Olympia. Hopefully the next interviewee is more open about anything even hobbies.

[@brosiahshowdoi3765]

all fake, no question answered at all. i would have loved to get to know HIM. dont understand... he does not even tell his weight... i mean whats the point of doin a podcast?

[@moshpitjunkie8122]

I dont say this to hate Derek is a awsome bber, but man this interview just felt off idk what it was but this guy was trying way too much to be positive. Like bro it's okay to have some bad times in life talk about them and grow from them. Felt really fake. Turned it off at 20 minutes couldnt listen to it. No offense Derek at all good luck at the O.

[@newbiegains6525]

I never like the negativity in You Tube comments but I agree with most of the commenters. I wasn’t able to finish this podcast, first time ever on this channel, due to how fake and ‘try hard’ Derek seems. I never want to wish anyone ill will but if this is the new face of the 212, they’ve got a serious issue on their hands. Hopefully Da Bull and others will step up and take the lead in the 212 division. Thanks for all the content 💪🏻

This is the second podcast I have seen with Derek and the second time I feel like he is in a job interview, and I mean that in the most positive way possible.

[@amfitness5598]

I like Derek a lot as a person & bodybuilder...however he’s only second to Kai Greene answering questions with answers that are all over the place and not addressing the topic Fouad asked him about. It’s a shame I’m not hating on Derek he needs to work on his interview skills.

Did you ever guess that your conversations with your friends would become such a learning environment for your fans?

[@FouadAbiad]

Never in my life.

[@MM-xs1qm]

Man this just wasn’t it! I really respect the effort Fouad put in trying the keep the podcast on topic and asking very relevant & interesting questions, unfortunately doesn’t look like Derek was with it, maybe lack of public speaking on his part (nervous) or he’s just overthinks the questions Fouad was asking or god forbid was just trying come across profound with his responses ... only Derek truly knows so no point shitting on him in the comments as we’ll never know

[@I-Teee]

I get a twinge of excitement with every podcast. Especially the people I don’t know as well and turn out to be very pleasant. This one missed the mark, and Fouad did his best with the shit sandwich he was given.

[@NaughtyNomadFitness]

Validating this comment by saying Fouad is the best interviewer bands down. Unfortunately (my opinion) Derek is just fundamentally unlikeable and I'm not being a hater but dancing around questions and being overly PC and KainGreene-esque doesn't do him any favours with the viewers. We've all heard the Believe Conceive acheive diatribe. It's a yawn fest! First time EVER I got bored and skipped this episode.

Best thing that came out of this interview what the interviewee screening process I bet, yikes

[@karlmeaden6868]

I don't wana shit on the guy, its obviously a big deal stepping on to your platform. He's all over the place, totally missing the questions and delving too deep into absolute nonsense. Calm down, relax. Be yourself not the version of yourself you think people want to see. Hes clearly on a bit of a personal journey so I wish him the best of luck.

[@leohernandez2245]

Why is everyone hating? I loved the interview. No pro bodybuilder owes us, the fans, access to all their personal stuff. These guys are already giving us access into their life and mind, they have every fucking right to keep certain things to themselves and their family and friends. It's like you guys forget these are human fucking beings. I don't think he was fake at all, he just seems like he's in the fucking zone and in LOVE with this shit. You all hate too much 😂
