This needs a movie!

[@shogun_1-0]

The lady was so professional and accommodating in her questioning. She didn’t over power his answers and she spoke only after he got his answers across. If only all hosts were like this🤙🏽. Mr Hanson was incredibly influential too, what a guy🤙🏽

[@johndepth-r7c]

This guy seems like a genuinely good person at heart.

[@aaronw4526]

This dude is fascinating. He had me wanting to buy his prison ceviche 😂

[@aaronw4526]

I’ve never watched this interviewer before but she’s great. She asks concise questions and gives brief commentary when needed. This was a great interview

[@FromXCrunner2TRIATHLON]

FBI with ak47 yeah I’m sure he’s still on something

[@ThousandEightVideos]

I think they can have anything high power. I had a case with the fbi, shit you’d think they are ak-47’s.

[@abrahamavina6425]

Could’ve been a ar 15 but seemed easier to say ak 47

[@emiliojackson273]

Please don't turn into a Wees Watson. I hope this man makes the most of his new opening!!

[@johnmoran1801]

[@neclsy]

[@PattyTriple7]

i farted

[@blynch8740]

$500 for a Bottle of testosterone??? What

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Welcome to it

[@derbycity50]

Hell yeah of course

[@seanleonard6165]

Who the hell would pay 500 for 1 bottle 😂, most id ever pay would be 80 to 100

[@robertbailey3057]

There MUST be some information we aren't aware of for people to be ok with paying 500 for a bottle of test? First: TEST E?TEST C? IT CANT be prop bc a 10ml bottle of that at 100mg/ml, and pinning ED, or EOD. Dosage= 200-250mg/ml? Assuming your running it as a TEST base in a multi compound cocktail....so say 400-500mg/week. That would allow for a bottle to last for 5 weeks. At $500/10ml Bottle they would be spending in one week what Id pay for a whole 10ml bottle. Though cycling doesn't seem to be common place nowadays, where as in the past you'd run 2 MAYBE 3 compounds at conservative dosage for 8-12 weeks depending on the compound, and if it was an oral vs injectables as well as it's level of hepatotoxicity or "Harshness" (i.e. TREN, Halo, Anadrol. After the cycle a scientifically regimented post cycle therapy was implemented 100% of the time. Some people would run 1-2 cycles a year, but at the very least a period of time that was equivalent to the duration of the cycle was spent "natty". I hear kids these days after a month in the GYM these dangerously young kids are not only "enhanced", but they are taking the the strongest harshest compounds at deadly dosages, and on top of that these kids are hoping on, and never cycle off/PCT/implement ancillary compounds to protect their heart,liver, hormone levels etc. I unfortunately understand with the social climate these kids are under pressure from. Pressure to look great all the time especially given the constant access people have to you via video calling,.social media, the Internet etc. also, hs athletes are bigger faster stronger and more skilled then ever before given access to training, foods, science and knowledge of how to enhance performance free and accessible. Hs athletes are commiting to colleges as sophomores and start marketing themselves the way pro athletes do before they can even drive bc for the first time ever college athletes are being ok paid
