BODYBUILDING & BOLLOCKS LIVE | Fouad Abiad, James Hollingshead & Ben Chow

[@Vaticanmunk]

Found "you forgot about Curry" Abiad strikes again lol The frequency of these is amazing. Thanks, gents.

[@patkelly8372]

The last 20 minutes of this podcast is the kind of conversation that got me hooked in the first place. Bodybuilding and bollocks always produces.

[@krazus2036]

Addicted to this podcast, this is the only podcast that made me keep coming back and I have been watching for 4 months now and have probably watched every episode now, some twice it's whatever youtube autoplays next while I am trucking

[@FoshowFishing]

Where's Paul Hanks today?

[@Yeager_Lifts]

😂😂😂 underrated comment

[@felixoneheim5201]

Lol

[@hollyguillory8122]

He has tile foot today😅

[@reverendterminator]

Very proud that Fouad read my comment on the chat - about The Last Kingdom..They had a strongman from Sweden on that show. I would love to see more strongmen and bodybuilder in shows like that... James would be great to play the kings bodyguard, or one of Uthreds Crew.

[@jimmy7458]

Awesome Pod with the guys, such an awesome bunch of guys to have a rant with. Great to see Ben more often too. Appreciate the chat 👍

[@danesimonson1672]

Thanks for dropping so many podcasts fouad

[@SBLifts]

Fouad, I think I speak for everyone when I say we would all really enjoy a UK gym tour training with James etc. TBJPxSHED, Dinos, etc . Would be a great series. Intro, training, meal together after.

[@shawndaniel2719]

I did some local contest and wanted to get into it hardcore and become a pro back in the mid 90’s and started losing to many people around around me and I wasn’t willing to risk the lifestyle as much as I loved doing. The risk didn’t out do my idea of making a career out of it. So it just became a hobby and do regular jobs for my life 👍🏻

[@bigzac1295]

James looking like a HOUSE in recent guest posing. Can’t wait to see what him and Stephane cook up next year. Thanks you as always for the episode. Can’t wait to watch later.

[@oglanza4451]

Fouad the type to go to WeatherSpoons and think its good home cooked food 😂😂

This would be funny if I knew what weatherspoons was 🫤

I dont think there’s anything that makes me want to order a takeaway as much as any podcast with fouad on it. Now im watching james eat on camera its a done deal

best BB pod on earth

[@zackwander1681]

Happy Egg Co. is a great one for good, extremely orange egg yolks. It’s my understanding that the yolk color is dependent on diet. Most chickens are fed a vegetarian diet (I assume corn) and are caged or confined, generating yellow yolks. “Pasture raised” chickens live outside and eat a substantial amount of insects, which yields dark yolks. In the winter, they typically need corn so they don’t starve and the yolk color gets lighter at that time

[@MrBusy777]

Interesting ! I’ve seen the difference between the cheaper eggs in the more expensive eggs. The yolk color.

[@zackwander1681]

@@MrBusy777 I’ve tried a ton of egg brand, many of the expensive ones, and it’s really common that even the expensive “organic” or “free range” are still that lame pale yellow. I’ve found that the rich dark yolks are almost entirely dependent on the chicken being “pasture raised” as those are the chickens that are the least confined and spend the most time outdoors eating bugs

[@RastaMan3000]

Hell yeah Nick walker got me on those. They are absolutely delicious compared to ur cheap ass white eggs that have the chickens caged up, stressed asf raising their cortisol which in turn leads to a egg with less nutrients compared to these organic free range chickens that are actually enjoying life producing AMAZING eggs for us 🙏 just like when you get some eggs from a farm or local person with land, they taste and look so amazing man

[@fattdamon1980]

I love good eggs, cheap eggs are still good but I swear free range from an actual farm are amazing.

[@mandyperez5080]

James’s fouad impersonation lmao 😂 fouad media is king ❤

[@nathangardner4084]

That mcdonalds order is ridiculous my god 😂

[@vacuumcleaner11]

Getting McDonald's but no fries is criminal.

[@AndysEdits]

British food is definitely not the best, but it is underrated. Classics worth trying include: Fish and Chips Roast Dinner Bangers and Mash Pie and Mash Cornish Pasty Cooked English Breakfast That doesn't even get to the desserts, which are ridiculously good.

[@WY-4491]

I do get what Fouad is saying, if you're in Italy or Spain you can find high quality versions of their cuisine all over. The issue in UK is finding good versions of those. Only decent pubs serve good versions of those or peoples mums/grannies 😂

[@toniburdine1393]

Beef Wellington rocks and I've only had it frozen. Now I want to try to make it fresh and try it!

[@tyler4797]

I love the lives. Really fun

[@bjmw93]

I'm a fellow Canadian Fouad. Countless English mates I've made while living and working abroad for 6 years + travelling. They're all like this 😂 irrationally proud of their food despite it being world renowned for it's mediocrity. They've got some points: their chocolate is better than in North America, and a Sunday roast, full English breakfast, and various pub foods are delicious. But not exactly the cutting edge of culinary expression lol. Don't tell that to an Englishman though! They'll argue till they're blue in the face about how everything is better in England (except the weather). We love them regardless though

[@bigzac1295]

Love when you guys talk bodybuilding (ie. Review physiques, argue placings, make fun of pointy delts etc.) lol.

[@chopst11x92]

I gotta say I’m pretty bummed by how things have gone with Milos and you guys. I truly believe you guys are great people and hope it gets resolved; loved listening in your your convos with him.

[@FouadAbiad]

Sorry but I’ve seen too much for him to ever be part of my circle again.

[@ronmorris1973]

Lol, Fouad's search history from this podcast must be fuckin HILARIOUS !!!!!

[@joshm684]

The blue package of happy egg is the ONLY true orange yolks I’ve found in the US

Enjoyed this podcast boy's 👍

[@simonrousseau49]

The past couple podcasts made me think of a song called bukkake tears by steel panthers LOL great tune

[@darrenrandy7358]

Thanks for this Gentlemen! A pleasant surprise cast

Derrick's never getting that Hadi pec detail! Derek's frontal hardness has been the same for the last 7 years and we've been talking about it happening. It's not going to happen.🤪

[@matthewblanker8844]

$30 entry, fans can pick top 7 of each show, $10 goes to the athletes (they all need Venmo) $5 to FAM to facilitate and $15 to prizepool, 10% of entries get return, yup we need to gambol on it.

[@mulcrackers43]

Great show guys! James is a character and Ben has a good sense of humour! Fouad I got my order and the shirts are of great quality and fit me well! Grass fed whey Isolate chocolate flavour is pretty tasty! Keep up the great work guys!!

Should really stay at bed and breakfasts on the uk trip to do the B&B B&B

I’ve been re listening to the classic eps and I was listening to you three from an ep in 2020 and you blokes were still just chatting about food and giggling like this hahahahah funny Benny said he would’ve picked Mayo to dip his nuggets cause the old ep he was saying Mayo is life and Mayo over all da sauces Love you fellas

[@zamiangines4031]

Nick Walker has the worst Front Lat Spread in the top 10 Olympia lineup, but that ok bc it’s only compared to the first call out. The same applies to Andrew’s back poses if he lands in the first call out. However, that’s a big if.

[@FouadAbiad]

Yes you’re right. But that’s part of the reason Nick will have trouble winning. That was my point.

[@eblocker1016]

How is your opinion on girls that happen to grow a big butt ONLY and then all of a sudden are training gurus and handing out meal and workout plans.?

Ben's right, McDonalds sux. That order was absolute trash lol. I could see how disappointed Ben was 😂

[@newmanskitchenandstuff9738]

Im from australia, so when fouad Asked whats bangers n mash, i stood up like a meerkat 😂

[@michaelholder98]

I do think James is correct…I feel like this year or next the judges are gonna make a swing toward the taller guys’ physiques. So the Andrew’s and Samsons of the world are gonna start taking those titles and the shorter, stubbier guys are gonna have to take a backseat at some point. You cannot deny these big, awesome physiques. My eyeballs always go instantly to them. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪

Woah, what happened with Milos, what did he do????😮😮😮

[@RastaMan3000]

Another banger😎

[@latman1]

Ben hit the nail on the head most competitors don't have the genetics. Even if they're pretty good, I've witnessed it so many times over 30 years, guys that should have just been told and accepted it instead they ruin their health and their families.

[@mouniraboufadel7385]

you guys forgot Nathan Styles. He will hold up better in this lineup... I see him in 6th maybe maybe 7th

[@Jesse-df9fz]

Fouad definitely ordered burger king the second the podcast ended

[@Mjwigert50]

I am wondering if you & everyone on your next show can give a breakdown of peptides and all your opinions on them. Do they really help that much as people claim? Specifically PDA for growth and recovery if you could? I never have heard your opinions on it.

[@FouadAbiad]

Some peptides are better than others. I will try to remember to ask the guys their opinions.

[@Mjwigert50]

Thanks we greatly appreciate the insight you all provide to everyone and a lot learn things that we never knew. We all appreciate what you all are doing.

[@scottblankenship2773]

I feel it fouad I look down on people that wait that long to get food.. I can’t stand waiting in the drive thru for 10 min let alone an hour at a restaurant! I also can’t stand waiting in any type of line though like even grocery store.. people move so slow it drives me insane.. not that I have anywhere important to be but still

[@Mo-jc9pn]

Paul needs to be on here 😢

[@MHMHMHMHMHMHMHMH]

Fouad, an idea. Have you watched any episodes of “Fuck that’s delicious”, the food show with Action Bronson? It’s had a legendary status for years now. Think it would be great if you and the guys did some restaurant episodes like that. For the amount of views cooking videos get (e.g. your own videos), imagine what a well produced video visiting a restaurant, shooting the shit and eating and talking about food, would get. Already with Paul and the whole ribs and soup thing, the stage is all set for something like this!

[@FouadAbiad]

I like it!

[@musclemedicine_M.D]

If Keone can beat Behrooz or Raffa then BBing needs height classes. These short ppl are driving me mad. **you guys love John D, but he’s just a thick meatball w/o delts/width/or “wow” factor (yes that makes for a great double bi but it’s not Behrooz or that group).

Fouad, the LIGHTING and BACKDROP at your Detroit show was truly appreciated by everybody. But why wasn’t the same adopted in subsequent shows. The latest Italy show was abysmal. Do they not want the good backdrop and lighting or is it something else.

Everyone has their own style for their shows.

What’s the name of the Johal, Cielen and Hollingshead podcast? Is it available on YT? I doubt it’s as good as this (!), but as a Brit it would be wrong of me not to partake 🙂

Future diet… cue Greg Doucette’s ffffffrickin’ cookbook!

[@georgina1979]

The most popular ‘cuisine’ in the world is Macdonalds. That does not mean it’s the best. It just means that majority of people in the world lack judgment!

[@FouadAbiad]

What does that have to do with anything.

there is no such thing as an objective opinion 🤣

[@FouadAbiad]

No but there is objective truth

Uh yes there is, it’s an opinion without bias. That quite literally exist.

I also grew up with "english food" being bad. but on a study trip with work, we stayed in homes with church people, and we got church - food after services. and they put on so much good food i never had before. So if you get old school english food made by sincesere moms and grandmoms, it might be the best in the world.

[@Cam-eh1lb]

The bet should be who places higher, Andrew or Samson for a tattoo. Just betting on Andrew winning is too lopsided.

[@FouadAbiad]

Why would that be the bet? The bet was made on James predicting he would win.

Lots of countries have great cuisines at the top; talk about what the peasants eat??
