Start sending to the Croatia 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏 I need some of that great stuff 💯

[@FouadAbiad]

@@sidapnea3128 what’s out of stock specifically?

[@alexrwisner]

You should never feel bad about how a podcast went. Any time a podcast goes up, it is all gravy for us.

[@chrismorrell4177]

Totally agree... it just shows everyone’s passionate about their opinion. Every podcast is great, Fouad!

[@chrisbroomheadcoaching]

I completely agree. I’ve never missed a single podcast because they’re really unique and entertaining

[@camstat4067]

Definitely!

[@IrritatedOnion]

last episode was a clusterfuck, but was actually really interesting and relatable. personally i really enjoyed it.

[@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio]

You got a link for that particular podcast?

[@menez87]

Don't beat yourself up Fouad.. Last podcast was hilarious in my opinion. It's normal for a group of friends to get that way. Specially when everyone is so opinionated and passionate.

[@smokesons]

I think the debate was good. Didnt seem like any of you went too far, everybody got their fair say, and it got heated but in a very respectful playful way.

[@bigjeffleboski2668]

[@chrischambers3547]

I like this combo with Paul and Ben, good laughs. I feel when Paul is on we get a more chilled Fouad you can tell there is a long friendship of years. Enjoyed this 👍🏻👍🏻

[@semirjemill]

The people who think the argument was “intense” “too much” maybe should go back to watching soccer bodybuilding or the aggression, the lack of balance at times that comes with it is not for everyone. I stand by this

[@MM-xs1qm]

I stand by the episode but if that became the norm, which ofc it isn’t than I would struggle to listen to future episodes as ngl I watch fouads for education purposes as well as a laugh too, and also to hear different POV about a particular subject. When I’m pissed off about something that’s really got to me, I look forward to fouads podcasts to help take my mind of it or decompress so I can address the issue I was having that day, but if they are also heated and arguing in the podcasts, it makes make w.e negative thing I’m dealing with even worse lol He’s addressed it this episode and I have full confidence that he will now cap those debates and move on when he see’s things are getting heated 🙏🏽

[@semirjemill]

@@dragonballz4103 he’s literally the people im talking about😂😂

[@mariel76146]

I wouldn't necessarily classify your previous podcast as a "fight" or "argument". It was simply a matter of various opinions/various views on a specific matter. It's ok to not agree...its being indifferent and that is no crime. Keep it real on the podcast....that's why we love your podcast so much! I personally enjoy that fact that you guys show who you are and how you think or feel and don't hide anything. 💯 No negative came out of it from my perspective. In fact, I went home and asked the same question of balance vs. happiness. Everyone I asked had a different opinion which was perfect in my eyes because everyone thinks/feels different and it helped to take me outside of my own box and look at it from their perspective. It was enlightening to see how people think/feel.

[@gavinclark9130]

That last podcast was great in my opinion. I love when you guys go off on tangents, it's so entertaining. Personally, I don't care if you get to the questions bc you guys just shooting the sh*t is the best part. I'm grateful for a second episode though 🙏

[@dragonballz4103]

No fouad it was hilarious that you guys lost control I’m sure 100% of the people who watched enjoyed it!!!!

[@danielfirbank7035]

Fouad the comments were mostly positive still on the previous podcast. You just do you. The podcast was informative, fun, entertaining us the viewers couldn’t ask any more. Four guests gets a bit loud but that’s what makes it more entertaining and get to have more views in a shorter space of time. Loved every podcast and will continue to watch regardless. Much Love Brother 👍👌

Hoss, you just don't know how much we likes you. We don't tune in for great content or Q&A, we tune in to check how our friend is doing. Since you're REAL, you can do no wrong.

[@FouadAbiad]

Thank you man!

I really love Paul. I've never seen him in this setting before. Very relaxed and respectful. Great insight from him. Would love to see him come back on!

you are a nice man Fouad...it is difficult to find a good hearted people nowdays ...thanks for your time and all things you do on youtube :)

Today is the anniversary of my best friends death. He was also my workout partner. I went to the gym this morning and ended up just walking out. It’s just one of those days I guess. Definitely need something to keep my mind occupied. Love your podcasts 💪🏾🔥

[@FouadAbiad]

Sorry for your loss.

[@target7252]

I've been researching winter running shoes, but couldn't decide on which brand to go with. The universe has provided me with the answer - New Balance.

[@jeffmacs2o223]

For actual running or just crosstraining? As a former solider, id recommend getting used to zero sole runners like Merrells if for actual running, and they're great for squats and deads too!

[@Beats-By-Anthony]

[@NovusCenters]

It is rare to find a well educated and reliable doctor these days, especially one that you can trust and go back to! We have patients that come into our clinic that has gotten a ton of the wrong information from all sorts of doctors for their symptoms and finally knowing what they actually have coming to us. This podcast was very relatable and informational, thank you!

[@tonycook1858]

The last episode may not have gone as you would like but it's the way it rolled, it was entertaining to watch as it was funny, shit goes south in life often, I like how you still posted it irrespective how you felt, Fouad the shows you put out are amazing, you have always been honest, open and transparent it's what people tune in for, no need to apologise, it's bodybuilding and bollox for a reason, thank you for everything you do, you are a legend ❤️🔥

Paul is the GOAT!!! The coolest old man in the planet. This was a great podcast Fouad. Love these guys. Good topics!

[@Somanpreet]

Why be embarrassed about your podcast, it shows how passionate you are about bodybuilding with bodybuilders. This was kind of a debate but more so an argument with friends but with respect which some other podcasts don't have. You have established that environment and setting so be proud homie.

[@FouadAbiad]

Thanks man. I liked it I just wanna do it again with a little more order. It’s hard to manage four people on a pod when it’s that intense.

[@leechild4]

This was a classic episode. Lots of info and lots of banter. Paul is hilarious! Quotes: one particle is one particle too many!! Quotes: I’d swoop down on people. Was great.

[@staybasedbrah]

Fouad needs to see a hypnotherapist to convince him he does enough for his fans already... as much as I fucking love it, you don't need to double up on your podcasts for us dude. We love you!

[@JumboDirecte]

Previous podcast was gold.

[@Matty_Crypto23]

Bloody loved the last podcast one of the best ones yet, nothing wrong what so ever 👍

[@michaelodonnell1371]

The last podcast got a little intense, but I still enjoyed it. It's an important topic and I'm glad you're touching on it. I think balance has Its role in bodybuilding. I'm not even a professional but I remember I had gotten so obsessed with dieting, my family had to step in and say something. 90% is a good rule. I basically told myself "I'm not a pro, I just want to look a little better."

[@duaneclark6667]

Great podcast

[@katieProjectU]

I know I commented on the last podcast but it was definitely meant as a sarcastic comment more than anything.. I love this podcast. And it gets me through the hard days. So thank you Fouad 🙌🏼🤍

Don't feel bad about the podcast, you were all being yourself and felt passionate about your views. I loved it, great show. Keep it organic.

[@samshethar7617]

Hey Fouad I think this panel of you, ben, and Paul is something you should do somewhat regularly! I think it’s a nice addition of the same friendly round table type vibe but also a bit more nuts and bolts focused which I personally enjoy just as much as the regular format!

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

Now I need to go watch the last Podcast! LOL

[@adeanmoses4086]

You shouldn’t have to apologize for standing by your argument. We appreciate when you are unyielding in your opinion. That is what makes you real and especially makes your show so real. I’m s what keeps me coming back for more. Don’t ever change. I agree with you that 30 mins was pushing it though😊

Just got news that my gyms are closing , thank fuck Fouad and The Boys are here , much appreciate it.

Overalll I enjoyed the last episode. It was real man!

[@marieg9504]

If this helps, I work with an endocrinologist. We mostly see Diabetes patients, so it is so weird hearing the cross-over of bodybuilding and the medications I prescribe every day. I am an expert when it comes to this. When we receive a diabetes patient who is severely hyperglycemic, after medications that help the pancreas, we prescribe long-acting insulin FIRST before quick-acting (Novolog, Humalog, Etc.). Both types of insulin usage do typically make the patients gain weight. More hypoglycemic attacks are associated with quick-acting insulin. There are insulin 'mixes' that are 75/25 long-acting and fast-acting insulin. It is basically the best of both worlds. Ben was not using much Novolog in comparison to his carbohydrate intake, but Fouad-not gonna lie-was using a shit ton of insulin. The same amount we typically prescribe for severely insulin-resistant 400+lbs diabetes patients. If you are using insulin, you definitely need to check your glucose levels consistently. It can be an amazing tool, but you NEED TO KNOW what you are doing. The best advice is to start small and titrate every 3-5 days (for long-acting) to your target glucose levels. If you don't know wtf you're doing, you can seriously fuck up your insulin sensitivity, carb uptake, and have hypoglycemic attacks. Again, this is in reference to the medical world, so things are definitely different when it comes to bodybuilding... be very cautious if administering insulin prior to your workout... We see many complications with patients who do so. They wear continuous glucose monitors so we see their 24/7 BG fluctuations. Administer less on training days or low carb days (clearly) and more on rest days/ high carb. 15 minutes before meals. Be safe everyone! I hope this helps. If anyone has any questions about insulin use, comment! We do work with bodybuilders as well (especially to fix their kidneys) so I know how to help not just diabetes patients. :)

[@owenfish1677]

Fouad, I would argue that the fans enjoy seeing their fav BB’ers when they aren’t in their best shape. It keeps us motivated knowing even the pro’s have to be fat / flat / small etc at some point in the year in order to be the best

[@Antidadbodcoach]

Most KZbinrs would have just release the episode and that's that. Fouad making his statement at the start is why he's a gent and one of the best 🙏 I personally didn't have an issue with the argument as there's nothing worse than a host having "sheep" on the show that just agree with them to stroke their ego, I like seeing difference of opinion!

[@girasol8158]

you guys are hilarious

[@jamienaquin3918]

Was the argument heated? Yes. Did it last a lil too long? Maybe. But so what, you guys are passionate. That's what makes the podcast what they are and so beneficial. The honesty and passion each of you has. Like I commented earlier on the podcast thread, I got a lot out of it. Keep it up, but stay at 3 people. BTW, I'll be making another Hosstile order soon, GREAT products!

I had no issue with the debate style as a viewer. Having someone fight for a viewpoint you share enhances the experience from a viewer perspective. Regardless, both are fine by me. Keep it up.
