You can't please everyone Adam, production has been spot on and no complaints with any vids. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@Kim-tl4wz]

I've actually not watched a single video of competitive eating. And like watching your videos at restaurants... But not for the food. We love YOU Adam!! It's not about the food. It's about YOU! I actually tell my husband often that I worry about your health with the eating that you do. So if you ever want to just go to restaurants and enjoy a regular sized meal and give scores. That's be great. And I bet restaurants would love... Or hate if you didn't like it lol... You coming to their restaurants because you're so well loved... Seriously loved!! Take care of yourself Adam! You're worth it!

[@rolfkoch2348]

Dude, you are such a humble, truly funny and sensitive human, it was a honour to follow you along your food adventures. Good luck for your future and stay healthy!

[@riddhirs1555]

What I love most about your videos is Your Genuineness, Your Respect, Your Banter, You Enjoying Yourself, and just You! So, bro, whatever you want to do, we'll back you up. You'll always have a group of us backing you up! Lots of love, and take care of yourself ❤

[@NotoriousBOB]

I saw you at your peak. It was an honor

[@dougalvlogs4125]

Adam, man. Dont bottle shit up. Dont think that actually talking about shit is less than anything. Dont feel like you need to be a role model. Just do it for yourself. Leave it off social media. Fuck a better help sponser, Fucking have a word with yourself and talk to your boys. You can see the past in your eyes man. Its pent up and sad to see. Youre a top lad. Dont let the struggles fester and eat you inside out mate. Much love my g. LETS DO IT!!!

Aww he's been so down since Lindsey left him.. boohoo

[@annemclaughlin622]

Sorry for your and Lindsay’s breakup no worry’s you or to hard to find someone new and worthy your an amazing guys ❤

[@robinellis4071]

I enjoy just watching you, the recent episodes and the guys helping....I have not thought you need. You should rate restaurants food. That would be fun , but do it yourself.

[@motorious7583]

When you retire from eating challenges as well I really hope that you continue the channel training up new eating champions. . . with several Rocky montages involved . . .

[@CyndieAmala]

Beard your jacket and t shirt look is definitely vintage lol it was a popular 80's fashion statement. It reminds me of the old TV show Miami Vice 😆 that's what they wore. It could definitely be coming back in style though because history always repeats itself in fashion.

[@stoneisland6789]

Thanks for everything Adam, you have been class act pal 👏👏🤙

[@garrettshannon8750]

Just started watching, went for surgery last week and while waiting found your video and I’ve been binging your eating challenge videos during my recovery, thanks for the videos!

[@Huck_5]

Oh Phew! I thought you were retiring from the restaurant challenges! I love your videos ❤

[@heathershabits]

Wow.. I would love to sit and complain about how the world just disappoints so much… I love your views on the last podcast about the conversation you had on the telephone/email the a person who “just couldn’t answer any questions “… some people still have good in their souls.. you are one!☝🏼

[@2112Crypto]

Canada loves this man Don't retire mate

[@davidcook3116]

You have enough charm and character to keep growing in media. In time, I'm sure your body will start talking back. You entertain us with past videos and current. We'll be here, Adam. Take care of yourself first. 👊

[@ReleaseTheEvil]

Can I just say how much I appreciate that you put what people came to learn about from the video title right at the start of the video instead of making people watch through it all to find out? I am definitely going to listen to the whole episode now in gratitude (and because it's interesting obviously) but thank you for this opposite of a dick move.

[@bgross685]

Mr Beard is styling it for this podcast! 😍

[@Knowing487]

Love videos Adam. Bonus ? Sister is sooo adorable.

[@alexescalante1449]

Oh my God, Adam!! That jacket. You should get a pair of Vans to match. 😂❤️

Respect to the @beardmeatsfood and the lads, appreciated down here in Nottingham brother, big up, from kids to old folk like me we all love it pal, you put the G in gentleman beard mate big up @joshgudgeon too, you make it even more entertaining mate

[@heartnsoul9093]

Hi gents! I really love your podcast, guys! I'm here every week, faithfully. Same for BeardMeatsFood! Would you, Adam and Josh, please please get George a T-shirt that says, "Google that, George!" Actually, you could sell them too! I would definitely wear one here in the U.S.! Hugs guys!

[@awalters12]

You can tell how well the pod is going by how early Josh asks for a time check. He waited until near the end this time so must be good one!

[@markhaseley3304]

having switched from cleaning up for a living (janitorial/maid service) to becoming a mechanic at an airport (getting dirty), now as my body disintegrates I just drive and work on the remainder of my investments as a hobby. Hard to invest with all these politicians trying to suicide everything, but the future will hopefully find them all gone. Be blessed in whatever you do Adam.

[@sammyallen5775]

Much love to you, I know you're having a hard time now, but things will get better. It's not all just about the food, I genuinely enjoy watching your vids as you're funny and entertaining. Would continue to watch your content no matter what you decide to put out xx

[@alpine_newt]

Papa Lazarou impression was spot on. I still annoy my mate Dave with it once in a while.

[@catgrrrl5666]

Adam... love you dude... and your pappa lasiro voice was pretty much on point! 😄 sad to hear this but hope to see you soon with whatever else you choose to do. I have watched all your vids but eating challenges isn't really why i watched, i hope you find something else that means something to you and i can keep watching you.. Yorkshire rules and love to see someone represent ✌❤🤘

My gran had a carpet like your jacket bro😂

Maybe she should have shaved it Bro.

[@WoodshopandWorks01]

I wish you the very best in your retirement from competitive eating. I have watched a lot of your videos and was impressed with everyone. Now maybe you can focus on doing something else you enjoy. Cheers mate. 😊👍

Love you and you deserve to do what’s necessary for you! But I’d be lying that I’m sad! ☹️❤

[@thaisstone5192]

(494) Well, I applaud Mr. Moran for knocking the contest circuit to the curb. BUT delighted he will still persevere with the local food challenges. Thank you for being you.

[@dogthebountyhunter4351]

Good lad look after your health you are smashing it on KZbin keep up the good work 👏

[@dogthebountyhunter4351]

No offence meant I'm genuinely making myself laugh but on a serious note leave the podcast pal and have you and Mrs beard split up

[@TheDdvd1]

To be fair, doing the media around the eating competitions could be good if you were interested. Look at Eddie Hall getting stuck into the WSM media game .. Behind the scenes, interviews with the eaters, companion podcasts etc.. all that type of thing.

[@Єнот-т4й]

Bugger - the Crafty Fox in Brighouse??? That's 5 minutes walk from where I live!!! Did I miss this???

[@Dave-good36]

You got to spread the time between the podcast going out the newest video on beard meets food channel.

[@michaelcooperwoti]

Dont scare me like that!!!!!!!

[@kimmileusnic3249]

Wear what you want. Be you with no apologies.

[@DCS-sl8zk]

Only the second BreakingBeard I've watched. Seen most of the challenges now though. So, how about the next eating challenge gets doubled up as a speed dating episode? Trying to chat up some lasses while ramming food down your throat, what's not to like! 🤣🤣

[@jackjude]

The jacket actually has a bit of razzamatazz. I've thought for some time a _house band_ would be good, _Four Beards and a piano_ 🎶😹

[@pearlkt]

Beardy needs his side kicks after the past year. I love the banter of the guys and also in the other videos. Am I being brain washed by that jacket. Gone looking for the donkey on Rhyl beach Adam misses 😂

[@anthonyhindley2095]

Start your own Burger range

[@IggyBing]

Bummer. I like your relaxed videos and comical take on things. Smashing volume-based (not time based) challenges and then asking for dessert. But I get it... no matter how well you manage your fitness, it can't really be all that healthy. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@LindaZeno]

Just found your channel about a week or so ago and it put such a smile on my face EVERY TIME! I'm sure there are many episodes I still need to catch up on but now I need to savor rather than binge them. God bless and do what's best for you! ❤

[@lesleymcclune3637]

I’m really sad at this news

[@DistalSoul]

Adam, I have seen the League of Gentleman. That was a good impression 😂 Also, this is a local town, for local people. We’ll have no trouble here.

[@alexreid5882]

Best part of the week 😊

[@ScottMuellerWoodworks]

Hey, I want you to know that I'm true to my word... when I saw you make a return to your old format, I re-subbed. Seriously, it has nothing to do with production quality. I going to guess most of us started watching because of your personality. The crewed videos introduce more personalities competing for the spotlight.

[@Boreddad81]

Love podcast, videos also being introduced to B.O.B and the trashcan brilliant 1:07

[@valgarvin6026]

Find a new Mrs. Beard …pleeease!

[@patricawalton2402]

I think your amazing whether competing with food, or simply being hilariously funny! Ready for whatever you decide.

[@jayobannon5359]

That jacket immediately make me think of the Macklemore "thrift shop" song

[@justlooking6541]

Adam....Go and get her back, you seem lost, its not easy to find, wish you all the best x

[@GeekanArtemis]

Love the hidden 33 in the logo!

[@alundavies5171]

keep it up guys always make me laff!

[@greenwoodfarms7920]

Beard your jacket's design looks like the design on Ghana Kente Cloth, the colours are different but the design of the material. When the episode opened I was like, what's going on, is he going to Ghana for a challenge 🤣. yes I know silly thought 😅

[@WilliamHoush]

The shoulders remind me of Jim Carreys The Mask LOL A beard version of the Mask would be epic staring you. A normal Guy from the Kingdom who gets supernatural powers after his beard grows out! BeardMan gets superhuman strength and speed and his farts are EPICally sinky ! LOL

[@BellatrixD2]

"You're my wife now, Dave." Bahaha, that just made my day. Thanks Adam 😂😂😂😂

[@RavenEAP]

Mike sitting in self isolation just down bad after that impression

[@deliciousexperience689]

I loved "The League of Gentleman" Beard!!!!! -Got all the series on DVD. ;-) I also think my tastes for film and tv and music ended in 2011, i literally said that just before you did! haha & I would very much be up for watching a naked podcast as you suggested, even if it was just you alone, and not Josh too, cuz he is fit tbh ;-) xxxxxxxxx

[@proxcess4946]

Add another one to the list for the film discussion segment: Terminator 2. I reckon Josh will actually rate that one.

[@WendyFedir]

Love the jacket!

[@lornadesmarais-zo4pr]

Oh no. You are the best competitor in the eating business. I think you are a great guy and I have loved it when you win

Question for Adam / beard do you watch any other uk food eaters other than Kate ovens ?

[@TimmsyTFG]

finally some good news, no fatty wife and no more beard videos, so happy!

[@michieloudhuis8191]

Looking fine Adam! Nice jacket! But a naked podcast will be kinda impossible i think youtube will bann you guys if you whip your slongs out xD wahha

[@TheCdM1981]

Why would you compete when you’re making a bunch of money doing KZbin. Makes zero sense. You’re good. Smart decision.

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Adam’s crew video issue, maybe the crew and gear intimidate the locals. So make a bigger effort to interact with them. Hope this helps
