After attending Meet the Olympians and going to the expo, I can say that Samson is the best ambassador. That guy has unlimited energy for his supporters. He is the first to get there and last to leave. He takes time to speak with everyone and is so genuine and enthusiastic. I’ve gotta say that James also has the same qualities. He was generous with his time and was signing photos at no charge. He is kind and genuine.

[@hollingshead89]

👊

[@beantown702]

Bro, Samson asked ME questions lol. Bro is a stud for sure

[@Tenthirty5]

@@hollingshead89 cheers James. Thanks for the chat and the great picture!

[@tylerdurden5938]

Not only unlimited energy but not afraid to show when his energy levels are low. Before the Olympia he did a episode of Bro chat and was clearly exhausted we later found out just how low he was calorie wise. Yet he pushed through that episode because that is what he now does for a living and respects his fans and I believe is truly thankful 🙏 Still recall watching a video of him installing cabinets (my job as well lol)Before he was able to bodybuild full time showing him pushing down meals shakes. Great champion on and off the stage

We still need the chicken nugget challenge Fouad. Travel to the UK while Samson is growing for the O and meet up with him and James at McDonald’s!

[@Madchris8828]

yes!!! That would be top notch entertainment 😂

[@hollingshead89]

yes

[@bowbowflockaa2025]

Pretty sure they said after the Olympia they’d do it. I wanna see James eat the 100 nuggets he said he could

[@C-cf9vl]

James & Iain are great ambassadors. They both put out a lot of content. Engage with fans. Iain has done various guest appearances too. Both hardcore.

[@moefitness3831]

Samson is so humble and u can tell he’s got a big heart. That’s the kinda guy u want to root for!

[@tylerdurden5938]

Foud always brings it. Most people don't understand how hard it is to do a podcast with guests getting everyone's schedule to align with some of the biggest guys in the sport. Especially guys who aren't signed with you. That's why you see so many shows don't have as many guests. Thn Foud and @hosstile

[@titany679]

This Podcast is the shit. Thanks to all the guys for providing this content for us! I love it

[@nikolamanojlovicci]

An important note on Hunter's placing - he was 100%, no debate, gifted his 4th place finish last go around. He was at 4 weeks out shape and that's going by the most charitable assessment you can give him. He was improved versus last year, but so was the sponsor line-up ;)

[@mrvacepadrva81]

I was there in person both years. Hunter was in 6 weeks out shape in 2021. No idea how he got 4th

[@nielvanderwalt1965]

​@@charlied8355prove it

[@conniealvarez4452]

Agree 100% brother

[@hejulius8386]

I do agree that politics are a possibility in the reasoning for his placing. But I don’t think it is about Labrador sponsoring the O that yesr

[@legend2kill]

FAVORTISM IS STRONG IN EVERY SPORT. WHY THE FUCK WOULDNT IT BE IN BODYBUILDING. WHICH IS STILL VERY UNERGROUND, SPONSOR BASED COMPARED TO OTHER SPORTS.

[@matteomarcucci11]

Damn man Samson is really THE guy. Always gentle, always humble, always a pleasure to listen to him, plus obviously he got a crazy body. He's a great ambassador for this sport and I'm genuinely happy for his success

[@480al]

1)Samson to win Arnold and shoot for top 4 at the next O 2) Ben and Hunter to fumble the bag again at the next O 3) James to find a qualifier with mediocre competition to have a chance to qualify at the next O. 4) Iain to ditch tuor and get a proper prep coach in order to realise his full potential at the O.

[@thunfischmitabbelschorle]

Honestly Ian needs to work primary on his stage presence

[@pantelisdermitzakis]

I really don't believe in Hunter

[@jamesspriggs7418]

Ian needs to work with hany...... come on bumstead have a word 😂

[@PurseANUL]

THANK YOU!!!! WE LOVE YOU FOUAD!!!! Cant wait for the Arnold Predictions!

[@rodolfoibarra8756]

James is 100% a great ambassador. It’s true he doesn’t have the following. If James had machine behind him holy hell. Remember that 2021 Olympia prep videos he had Tom of pros on his comments and aspiring bodybuilders hooked

[@d.8955]

Yes samson use very "little" gear, probably around 1.5/2 gr, then blast 300+iu of humalog a day....

[@SupuhTyler]

The thing about Shaun is the fact that he is so small structurally, but pound for pound he’s about as maxed out on muscle as any open guy. Yeah he’s small in stature but muscle he can compare with anyone imo 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@vulturesiii6450]

Easier to fill out

[@SimmplyFit]

Fouad I’ve been a listener from the very first podcast, and listened to every one except a few (mostly because you put so many out at one time and I can’t keep up haha). Anyway I just wanted to say you and the boys keep up the great work. It’s a fantastic podcast and it’s great to see you guys really growing your brands. 🙌

[@conniealvarez4452]

Thanks a bunch fellas for your time, this was a great podcast. Fouad is still killing it with the great content.

[@RanDomMtr]

Perfect timing post w with food and podcast! 🙏🙃

[@briangirard5505]

that last part with James and salad was hilarious!!! great stuff, thank you Brian from Boston

Thank you Fouad for bringing up that question to Ben your the man!

[@aldinstuart5787]

Had such a bad day. If only these guys could understand how happy these fucking podcasts can make you!!! 🙏🏼. Fuck SSRIs - this is the stuff!

[@matthewmears1833]

AJ was an absolute legend on the MD no bull forums for years. Everyone thought he was Bsing about himself, but you could always see through his posts the passion and knowledge he had for body building. When he finally came out from behind the screen and did some stuff with Giles was amazing. Such a character, but passion for BB like no other.

[@jeremiahhall2281]

This was one of the best group podcasts thus far!!!

[@jasoncorrick3058]

Another great podcast , 3 great Brits so real and down to earth love it .Big respect to you all and just keep doing what your doing and keep being who you all are .

[@johnbenjamin98]

It’s going up on a Sunday with the Brits of Bodybuilding & Bollocks! 🇬🇧 Thank you for all you do Hoss!

[@Ditt33]

The conversation of not wanting a phone really hit home! When you’re expected to be ‘On’ the entire day, when that phone is dead…I will let it stay dead for a bit just to be able to breathe and it’s a breath of fresh air sometimes.

[@jasontaylor8283]

Samson and Clarida in a 2 man call out would be epic

[@Tesparza0218]

Such a solid quad of guys! Hell of a podcast fellas

[@Madchris8828]

Fouad I'm super happy you have a sponsorship with true classics they really are an exceptional clothing brand. I have difficulty finding shirt sizes that work for me (often between sizes) and these shirts are super comfortable and make you look good as well. Highly recommend people check them out (°and I'm not even sponsored* lmao) I used your promo code and am happy with the savings. 👏

[@donnatrocks]

I love the way fouad bedazzled his shirt. lol its sparkling on my computer when he moves!

Another awsome podcast, james you deserve a year off ! Thank you fuad,Samson,ben, and james.james you had me laughing hard on this one. Great energy guys!.

[@619behem0th]

James is super hard on himself. Dude you are a top bodybuilding in the world. Don’t let that shit talk or “rumors” get to you man, you got fans out here still counting on you bud.

[@619behem0th]

Also let’s not forget, James probably has better mainstream opportunities then a lot of other bodybuilders as well. I just hate seeing james so tough on himself.

[@30pipeliner]

Hands down Samson for the most improved !!!! I would say James for ambassador because all the other areas he has helped introduced in bodybuilding like gaming, Comic-Con, skating etc!!!

[@darrenrandy7358]

Samson most improved for sure!

[@christopherbecker1499]

Always look forward to new pods in the morning

Hope you coming back feeling better Fouad!

[@RiseUpFitness]

My family flew through Egypt in July last year and we wanted to do the same thing with our 4-hour layover but were advised that there would not be enough time. Although we were travelling with a, then, 2 year old maniac. It may be doable if you line it up properly with a guide - ask Rami to hook you up.

[@darrenrandy7358]

Gents, another fantastic episode! Super entertaining! Thanks!

Phil always said , if you lose muscle on a prep you didn't have muscle in the first place! That's why Samson looks so good , he's got it to start with!

Would say James is the best ambassador for the sport. Represents old school training with a current touch. Has brung outside viewers in with his content of cosplay and could happily show him to any outside viewer and they would be able to resonate with him

@@builttolaugh what other big name coaches in the industry were big name body builders? Milos and that’s about it. While maybe there would be better coaching options bringing that into the argument doesn’t hold much weight.

James is easily one of the most casually funny person ive ever heard. Literally everything out of his mouth is funny on some level.

[@muhammadseedat]

I think Charles Griffin could be a shout for most improved as he sorted out the midsection issue

[@alexattardg4s975]

Fouad I abused anabolics for 12 years straight with cycles reaching 1G-1.5G Tren and 3G Deca a week casually and I can tell you ive been off for 1.5yrs,just Test, and my life has changed completely. I never believed that anabolics make you depressed until I was out of it.

[@stevenbaker6113]

I think James is getting slept on for most improved from last year's Olympia to this year's he is much much improved I think Samson still wins but James deserves a mention

[@papaertrong]

I miss flex magazines and muscle mag to read!!!! Those were the days!!!!! Oh do you guys remember American muscle magazine show?!!!! We need to bring that back!!!!!!!👍🏻

[@nicholaspadovan2476]

I want to say something about the ambassador thing: to me the real ambassador is the one that rapresents the league body wise but mentally, meaning that people can relate to a similar mindset to succeed in what they do

[@thomasmadlon8515]

Not quite Samson’s level but Charles Griffin made really big improvements this year

[@billydarrer]

We all been waiting for this one

[@chrisoswalt3138]

For ambassador, I'd say Derek has to be on the list and also Samson. Derek is sqeeky clean, never says anything bad about anything, very positive, gives kudos to everybody on his team. Samson seems very positive and even though one of the best in the world, he comes off as very humble.

Derek is the most improved because: 1.The Derek that won the 212 olympia in 2021 would not beat the 2021 Samson. 2.Both have trained for the 2022 olympia and derek was 2nd in the world and Samson was 6th.

[@rickybrotega]

I think Derek and a Hunter both can make an argument for best ambassador. Their whole demeanor and personalities are a good face for the sport.

[@Sassychooma]

James you are an absolute legend mate. I'm from Scotland and I know exactly what you mean using the word Gay.😂😂😂. That was Hillarious to listen too also. Thanks again guys. Top notch.

Top 3 for BEST AMBASSADOR 1) Samson 2) Ashley K 3)Shaun Clarida

[@josiahwilliams6646]

This is going to be good!

[@glasslakes]

Samson is definitely the most improved. I remember that he had to compete several times just to qualify. He was just a guy with a nice physique. Fast forward just a few months and he becomes a first callout guy.
