30 seconds.
00:00:01.860
Did you ever think you would make it?
00:00:04.560
I feel I'm so close I could take sweet victory.
00:00:07.680
I know this life meant for me.
00:00:10.780
Yeah, why would you bet on Goliath when we got Bet David?
00:00:14.620
Valuetainment, giving, values contagious.
00:00:16.460
This world of entrepreneurs, we get no value to haters.
00:00:19.180
How they run, homie?
00:00:20.160
Look what I become.
00:00:21.440
I'm the one.
00:00:22.560
This is Patrick Bedevi, host of Value Tim,
00:00:24.040
and today I'm sitting down with probably one of the most
00:00:25.840
controversial figures in the bodybuilding world,
00:00:27.640
and that's Chad Nichols who is both loved by folks like
00:00:30.900
Flex Wheel and Ronnie Coleman,
00:00:32.320
and he's hated by many, especially Sean Ray.
00:00:35.520
So I gotta tell you, I remember when I interviewed
00:00:37.140
Sammy DeBull-Gravano, and when I interviewed Sammy,
00:00:40.080
Sammy called out Teddy Atlas.
00:00:41.880
A month later, Teddy Atlas sat right here and he said,
00:00:44.700
listen, I gotta respond to what Sammy said.
00:00:47.180
I remember when we had Dorian Yates here,
00:00:50.060
and he called out Brandon Curry.
00:00:51.800
A month later, Brandon Curry showed up and responded to Dorian.
00:00:55.380
However, Sean Ray calls out Chad Nichols.
00:00:59.800
Chad showed up in the front doorstep here within 24 hours.
00:01:02.900
So with that being said, Chad, thanks for coming out.
00:01:04.920
I appreciate you having me.
00:01:06.020
So I'm assuming that video with our buddy Sean
00:01:08.920
really fired you up a little bit.
00:01:09.980
It did a little bit.
00:01:10.700
It wasn't anything that I wasn't used to,
00:01:12.480
but it is, you know, when you wake up in the morning
00:01:15.160
and you have 25 DMs with a clip of Sean's at it again,
00:01:19.920
you get a little irritated.
00:01:21.520
Was it anything different than what he had said in the past before?
00:01:24.240
It really wasn't.
00:01:25.220
It was mostly the same stuff,
00:01:27.200
but there was a couple things within it
00:01:29.160
that was, like, just completely fabricated,
00:01:32.940
which was kind of shocking.
00:01:33.860
Like, I'm not even sure why he went down the road,
00:01:35.660
because it didn't pertain to, like, him bashing me.
00:01:38.860
Got it.
00:01:39.860
But, like, it was, again, completely fabricated.
00:01:42.580
So how about I play it?
00:01:43.440
I got a part of it.
00:01:44.360
I'm not going to play the whole thing,
00:01:45.300
because it'll be six minutes.
00:01:46.120
I got the 50-second part of it,
00:01:47.920
and then we can go from there.
00:01:49.920
And obviously, I got a lot of other topics
00:01:51.340
I want to go into with you,
00:01:52.260
but let's start off with our buddy here, John Ray.
00:01:54.580
Did you and Chad Nichols ever do anything together?
00:01:56.800
Absolutely not.
00:01:57.600
Okay.
00:01:58.000
He's Dr. Kevorkian to me, bro.
00:01:59.840
In 1996, I went to guest post for him,
00:02:02.360
took me to dinner,
00:02:03.540
and he asked me if I needed any help.
00:02:05.760
I just got second place to Dorian Yates.
00:02:07.680
No, I don't need your help.
00:02:08.540
I don't even know you.
00:02:09.240
And I think that's where we started to butt heads.
00:02:11.400
Ronnie Coleman, we'll defend him to the ninth degree,
00:02:13.300
but he was in that bathtub near death in 2001
00:02:16.240
at the direction of Chad Nichols,
00:02:18.340
who's not a doctor, by the way.
00:02:19.800
There's at least five deaths.
00:02:21.080
Don Youngblood, Nassar El-Sambati,
00:02:23.580
Dallas McCarver,
00:02:25.300
and a few other people
00:02:26.540
as a bodybuilding coach
00:02:28.140
that are dead and in the ground,
00:02:30.040
and he hadn't gone to one funeral.
00:02:31.800
So I have a reason to be pissed.
00:02:35.500
So that's a shorter, abbreviated version
00:02:38.020
of what he said.
00:02:40.040
Exactly.
00:02:40.400
What are your thoughts on what he said there?
00:02:41.800
So there's a couple things.
00:02:42.880
It depends where you want me to start.
00:02:44.220
We can start from the beginning.
00:02:45.420
The most, I don't know if I want to say funny
00:02:48.080
because I don't think any of it's funny,
00:02:49.760
but the most interesting part of it,
00:02:51.960
and it basically outlines basically
00:02:54.180
his direction of the whole thing,
00:02:56.320
is right from the get-go
00:02:58.200
because he says,
00:03:00.020
you ask him if we ever work together,
00:03:02.160
and his response was,
00:03:03.400
absolutely not,
00:03:04.380
but he went and guest posed for me in 96,
00:03:06.600
and I asked him if he wanted to work with me,
00:03:09.560
or basically that's what he had.
00:03:11.000
That's a complete lie.
00:03:12.980
Like, that's an absolute lie,
00:03:15.380
and when I explain it to you,
00:03:16.660
you'll understand.
00:03:17.800
He did absolutely guest pose for me that year.
00:03:21.220
He came, he guest posed,
00:03:23.620
we went out to eat,
00:03:25.060
that was literally the first time
00:03:27.000
that I'd probably talked to him.
00:03:28.240
I didn't even know if he was in town
00:03:29.340
until I got to the venue
00:03:30.720
and there was a Lamborghini
00:03:31.680
parked out in front of the venue
00:03:34.100
that some guy from Arkansas
00:03:35.640
had brought down for him
00:03:36.500
to drive around town all day.
00:03:37.760
He guest posed,
00:03:39.260
I didn't have any issues there,
00:03:40.340
we go out to eat,
00:03:41.620
and we literally talked about three things.
00:03:44.900
We talked about his,
00:03:46.500
like, which was weird
00:03:47.120
because I was actually under the impression
00:03:48.220
he was from a very wealthy family,
00:03:49.500
but he kind of portrayed the fact
00:03:52.360
that his brother was a drug addict
00:03:53.800
and his mother was in prison for drugs,
00:03:56.260
which me and my wife were kind of like,
00:03:58.000
wow, we thought he was from a very wealthy family,
00:04:00.640
so we were kind of shocked by that,
00:04:01.640
no big deal,
00:04:02.260
and then he kind of portrayed this image
00:04:04.340
of him really working out of the gutters
00:04:06.340
and becoming this thing,
00:04:08.180
which, again, we don't know him at all.
00:04:11.400
I don't know him at all.
00:04:12.060
At that time,
00:04:12.700
the bodybuilding world doesn't know him yet?
00:04:14.300
No, they know him,
00:04:15.260
but we don't.
00:04:15.620
You don't know him.
00:04:16.020
I don't know him from Adam.
00:04:17.260
When you say we,
00:04:17.940
it's you and Kim.
00:04:18.480
Yeah, me and Kim.
00:04:18.960
Okay.
00:04:19.560
We don't know anything about him.
00:04:20.820
We was just under the impression
00:04:22.640
that he was from a very wealthy family
00:04:24.940
just based off of
00:04:26.100
how he was maybe portrayed in the magazines,
00:04:28.820
which is really the only way we know him.
00:04:32.180
He talked a little bit about the cars,
00:04:34.280
how this guy would sell him the cars.
00:04:36.960
He would buy the car,
00:04:37.700
drive it for two months,
00:04:38.760
resell it,
00:04:39.460
which I thought was kind of a cool idea,
00:04:41.340
and then he basically talked about finances.
00:04:44.280
That was the only thing we talked about.
00:04:46.160
Now, here's the interesting thing.
00:04:47.540
We didn't talk about nutrition.
00:04:49.820
We didn't talk about athletes I was working with.
00:04:53.040
We didn't talk about anything about that.
00:04:56.700
The reason we didn't talk about that
00:04:58.460
is because I wasn't working with athletes yet.
00:05:02.060
I hadn't trained anyone.
00:05:03.820
The only person I had trained up until that point
00:05:06.140
is Kim from 92 to 96.
00:05:10.240
I don't first get involved in nutrition
00:05:13.020
until the 97 Olympia.
00:05:17.220
At no point would there ever be a conversation
00:05:20.740
of a kid.
00:05:22.800
I was 27 years old or whatever.
00:05:24.680
I don't know, 28, 9 years old.
00:05:25.920
I would never be even talking in that realm
00:05:29.000
because I wasn't there yet.
00:05:30.960
Nobody's talking about,
00:05:32.060
hey, Chad Nichols is working with athletes.
00:05:34.540
He's doing this.
00:05:36.040
He's doing that.
00:05:37.260
That part hasn't even started.
00:05:39.060
It's a year down the road.
00:05:40.700
So that is completely fabricated.
00:05:45.280
100% completely fabricated.
00:05:47.560
In no way, shape, or form did that ever happen.
00:05:50.380
Why would he say that?
00:05:51.000
Well, I'm going to tell you why he said that.
00:05:52.620
Because I never asked him.
00:05:55.560
But now we fast forward.
00:05:58.580
So in 97, I do start working with athletes.
00:06:02.580
And I trained Nasser Elson-Badi.
00:06:05.640
And I trained Paul Dillette.
00:06:07.300
Both of them go on.
00:06:08.160
Most people think that Nasser could have won
00:06:09.660
the Olympia that year.
00:06:10.460
Dorian ends up winning.
00:06:11.620
But no matter what, it was the best
00:06:12.960
that Nasser had ever looked that year.
00:06:15.580
98, we come to the Arnold Classic.
00:06:18.580
And Flex Wheeler wins.
00:06:20.480
Now, a lot of people will say that's his best ever.
00:06:23.100
I think his two best is his first one, 93,
00:06:26.100
which he was a little smaller,
00:06:27.100
but conditioning was phenomenal.
00:06:28.860
And 98, which he was bigger.
00:06:31.180
And again, conditioning phenomenal.
00:06:34.620
Directly after the 98, Arnold.
00:06:38.220
Now, this is where everybody's going to,
00:06:39.880
this is going to be interesting.
00:06:41.660
After the 98, Arnold,
00:06:42.960
I get a phone call from Boyer Co.
00:06:45.640
Now, if you're familiar with Boyer Co,
00:06:48.160
Sean Ray and Boyer Co,
00:06:49.460
they had a workout program
00:06:52.700
called Flex Workout together.
00:06:54.260
So they were friends.
00:06:55.260
He also dated a girl named Debbie Mugley,
00:06:58.140
who was a professional bodybuilder.
00:07:00.320
My wife and Debbie Mugley were friends.
00:07:03.200
So when we would go out to California,
00:07:04.760
we would go out to eat with Boyer and Debbie
00:07:06.500
and we became friends.
00:07:08.360
Boyer Co calls me and says,
00:07:09.920
listen, Chad,
00:07:10.980
would you be interested
00:07:12.800
in working with Sean Ray?
00:07:15.820
Because the Olympia is open this year.
00:07:18.220
And we believe that with your guidance,
00:07:20.480
he could win the Olympia.
00:07:22.740
And so at this point,
00:07:24.260
I'm kind of like,
00:07:25.980
okay,
00:07:26.400
because I'd already started hearing
00:07:27.680
like little tidbits of stuff
00:07:29.780
that was starting to come
00:07:31.340
like after the Flex Wheeler
00:07:33.080
win at the Arnold, right?
00:07:35.860
That was all kind of being directed at Sean,
00:07:37.960
but rumors, right?
00:07:39.060
Because at this point,
00:07:39.680
we have no social media.
00:07:41.020
Everything is just hearsay kind of stuff.
00:07:43.340
And again,
00:07:45.320
this can all be literally confirmed
00:07:47.120
through Boyer Co.
00:07:48.120
So Boyer calls me and asks me this
00:07:50.860
and I'm like,
00:07:51.340
listen, honestly,
00:07:52.540
there has to be three things
00:07:54.980
that has to factor in
00:07:56.360
for me to work with an athlete.
00:07:57.500
One,
00:07:57.720
I have to believe they're a hard worker.
00:07:59.340
Two,
00:07:59.720
I have to believe
00:08:00.220
that they'll pay attention
00:08:01.200
and do exactly what I say.
00:08:03.140
That I'm not wasting my time
00:08:04.660
with the athlete.
00:08:05.840
And three,
00:08:06.760
I have to believe
00:08:07.600
that we are going to click
00:08:08.840
and that the person is not a,
00:08:11.740
like that he's a decent human being.
00:08:14.080
Sean doesn't match
00:08:14.900
any of the three criteria.
00:08:16.620
I have zero interest
00:08:17.800
in working with him.
00:08:18.980
Zero.
00:08:19.560
You told this to Boyer Co.
00:08:21.120
Now,
00:08:21.360
prior to this,
00:08:22.520
how many interactions
00:08:23.460
have you had with Sean?
00:08:25.040
None.
00:08:25.600
Except for that dinner.
00:08:27.300
Yes.
00:08:27.880
No,
00:08:28.100
I take that back.
00:08:28.900
I take that back.
00:08:29.780
Actually,
00:08:30.880
so,
00:08:32.360
we're at the dinner.
00:08:33.380
So now at the dinner,
00:08:34.180
supposedly,
00:08:34.820
this is when I supposedly asked him,
00:08:36.600
right?
00:08:36.840
And he's like,
00:08:37.900
oh,
00:08:38.180
Chad's the devil,
00:08:39.480
right?
00:08:39.780
Like,
00:08:40.140
we don't want anything
00:08:40.800
to do with him.
00:08:41.760
But in 97,
00:08:43.680
when my wife wins the Olympia,
00:08:45.620
we are in California
00:08:47.140
for photo shoots
00:08:49.000
and we're doing photo shoots
00:08:50.860
and miraculously,
00:08:52.720
Sean shows up
00:08:53.620
at the photo shoot.
00:08:55.020
Like,
00:08:55.640
out of the blue
00:08:56.400
for no reason.
00:08:58.160
Shows up at the photo shoot
00:08:59.580
and there's literally,
00:09:01.420
like,
00:09:01.820
somehow he even gets
00:09:02.640
into the photo shoot.
00:09:03.640
So there's literally
00:09:04.320
a picture of him,
00:09:05.240
like,
00:09:05.540
encouraging Kim
00:09:06.660
to like,
00:09:07.280
you know,
00:09:07.480
like how they're doing photos
00:09:08.540
and they're like,
00:09:09.020
go for the weight
00:09:09.820
and like,
00:09:10.440
Kim's curling
00:09:10.980
and he's like,
00:09:11.720
motivating her stuff.
00:09:13.180
So,
00:09:14.160
he literally shows up there.
00:09:15.840
Now,
00:09:16.100
again,
00:09:16.440
I don't talk with him.
00:09:17.580
We don't talk about anything.
00:09:19.260
We're like,
00:09:19.880
at no point
00:09:20.520
are we talking about
00:09:21.480
working,
00:09:22.480
nothing.
00:09:23.100
Like,
00:09:23.400
literally.
00:09:23.780
He just shows up,
00:09:25.260
which I thought was weird.
00:09:26.220
Do you know the reason why?
00:09:27.280
I have no idea.
00:09:28.120
I have literally no idea
00:09:29.400
why he showed up.
00:09:30.460
But it would be,
00:09:31.040
it seems odd
00:09:31.720
that he would show up there
00:09:32.820
based off of the fact
00:09:34.020
that he just told you
00:09:34.780
in 96
00:09:35.320
that,
00:09:36.560
like,
00:09:37.460
I'm the devil
00:09:38.040
and he wouldn't have
00:09:38.920
anything to do with me
00:09:40.040
when in reality
00:09:41.000
I can tell you
00:09:41.640
that never happened.
00:09:42.620
The whole thing
00:09:43.140
was completely fabricated
00:09:44.380
by Sean.
00:09:44.940
Completely fabricated
00:09:45.940
by Sean.
00:09:46.860
And after that point,
00:09:49.160
if you realize
00:09:49.940
that was after
00:09:50.800
the 98 Arnold,
00:09:52.880
from that point
00:09:53.780
I became the devil
00:09:54.640
for sure.
00:09:55.100
So,
00:09:55.620
from that point
00:09:57.060
everything
00:09:57.720
literally escalated.
00:09:59.460
So,
00:09:59.780
once I had talked
00:10:00.820
to Boyer,
00:10:02.260
that seems to be
00:10:03.360
the point.
00:10:03.720
Because before that
00:10:04.400
there's no interaction.
00:10:05.860
There's no
00:10:06.420
Chad this,
00:10:07.080
Chad that,
00:10:07.580
blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:08.880
After that point,
00:10:10.340
that's when everything
00:10:11.320
escalated.
00:10:11.840
After you told Boyer,
00:10:13.440
no chance.
00:10:14.440
No chance.
00:10:15.060
No chance.
00:10:16.100
Absolutely.
00:10:16.800
And Boyer could confirm
00:10:17.680
this.
00:10:18.300
100%.
00:10:18.740
Now,
00:10:19.200
I've had people
00:10:20.520
talk to Boyer
00:10:21.360
and Boyer
00:10:21.860
will kind of beat
00:10:22.640
around the bush
00:10:23.220
a little bit about it.
00:10:24.140
He will confirm
00:10:24.760
that he made
00:10:25.420
the phone call.
00:10:26.540
He will confirm
00:10:27.280
and he will kind of
00:10:28.160
act like,
00:10:28.660
you know,
00:10:29.920
Sean didn't really
00:10:30.620
come out and say
00:10:31.540
like to do it
00:10:32.700
but I was just
00:10:33.440
reaching out
00:10:34.200
on his behalf.
00:10:35.180
I don't buy that
00:10:35.840
for a second.
00:10:36.520
They were buddies.
00:10:37.640
Like,
00:10:37.940
not for a second
00:10:38.740
do I buy that.
00:10:39.380
Because at this point
00:10:40.380
now we're already
00:10:41.320
like,
00:10:42.060
by the time this
00:10:42.760
is already being asked,
00:10:43.540
Sean's already
00:10:44.200
like bashing
00:10:44.920
the hell out of me.
00:10:45.900
So,
00:10:46.340
I think
00:10:47.100
he realizes
00:10:48.300
it's happening.
00:10:48.940
He can't go back
00:10:49.560
on that it happened
00:10:50.440
obviously.
00:10:51.480
But he has to
00:10:52.340
kind of save face
00:10:53.180
for Sean a little bit.
00:10:53.940
Now,
00:10:54.160
at this point
00:10:54.580
who's working with you?
00:10:55.520
Flex is working with you?
00:10:56.600
Who are the names
00:10:57.320
that are working?
00:10:57.700
Nasser is working
00:10:58.600
with you?
00:10:59.100
Yeah.
00:10:59.400
So,
00:10:59.860
this is 98.
00:11:00.940
So,
00:11:01.200
I have Nasser.
00:11:02.080
I have Flex.
00:11:03.540
I have Ronnie.
00:11:04.460
I have Paul DeLette.
00:11:05.880
Those are probably
00:11:06.460
the,
00:11:06.840
I mean,
00:11:07.140
those are the key.
00:11:07.760
And those are names
00:11:08.320
by the way.
00:11:08.700
Those are not like
00:11:09.240
you're working
00:11:09.760
with the main guys
00:11:10.480
pretty much at that time.
00:11:11.280
I mean,
00:11:11.720
the 98 Olympia,
00:11:13.820
yeah,
00:11:14.000
the 98 Olympia
00:11:15.120
that was the top three.
00:11:17.060
It was Ronnie Flex
00:11:18.200
and Nasser
00:11:18.660
and the 99 Olympia
00:11:20.100
it was Ronnie Flex
00:11:21.400
Cormier
00:11:21.760
and I had Cormier
00:11:22.360
in 99.
00:11:23.120
Cormier as well.
00:11:23.980
Yes.
00:11:24.240
Okay.
00:11:24.460
In 99.
00:11:25.020
It was the first year
00:11:25.800
in Cormier.
00:11:26.960
The other part
00:11:27.500
of what he says is
00:11:28.580
how it led to,
00:11:30.420
you know,
00:11:31.520
what happened
00:11:33.360
with Nasser,
00:11:34.200
how it led to
00:11:34.920
what happened
00:11:35.440
with the rest
00:11:36.420
of the names
00:11:36.720
that he talks about.
00:11:37.540
Okay.
00:11:37.980
What's your response
00:11:38.940
to what he says
00:11:39.420
about that?
00:11:39.780
So,
00:11:39.860
there's a bunch
00:11:40.640
of responses.
00:11:41.080
We can talk about it.
00:11:42.500
But I think
00:11:42.880
the biggest one
00:11:43.800
is Flex.
00:11:45.320
I think that
00:11:46.120
basically sets
00:11:47.780
the tone
00:11:48.740
for just how
00:11:50.500
big of a liar
00:11:51.220
Sean is.
00:11:52.100
Like,
00:11:52.420
he is a
00:11:53.440
pathological liar.
00:11:54.940
And anybody
00:11:55.700
that's listening
00:11:56.320
to this right now
00:11:57.220
can go to Google
00:11:58.000
and they can type
00:11:59.480
in what
00:12:00.800
disease was
00:12:02.880
Flex Wheeler
00:12:03.580
born with.
00:12:04.640
And it will pull up
00:12:05.880
FSGS,
00:12:07.120
which is focal
00:12:07.640
segmental,
00:12:08.740
whatever.
00:12:09.500
Okay.
00:12:10.340
It's a kidney disease
00:12:11.560
that he was born with.
00:12:13.180
Okay.
00:12:13.480
He didn't find out
00:12:14.380
about that
00:12:14.840
until 99.
00:12:15.880
Now,
00:12:16.260
Sean is 100%
00:12:17.660
aware of this.
00:12:18.720
He's 100%
00:12:19.940
aware of it.
00:12:20.780
I don't recall
00:12:21.780
ever
00:12:22.380
in my 20 years
00:12:24.500
that he's been
00:12:25.000
talking shit
00:12:25.720
about me
00:12:26.220
ever hearing
00:12:27.360
him mention it.
00:12:28.280
But he's 100%
00:12:29.660
aware of what
00:12:31.300
the disease is
00:12:32.300
that Flex has.
00:12:33.240
100%.
00:12:34.020
But he looked
00:12:35.160
at you
00:12:35.680
dead in the eye
00:12:36.580
and basically
00:12:37.880
blamed me
00:12:38.860
for a disease
00:12:40.160
that Flex has.
00:12:41.760
Now,
00:12:41.980
here's the bad
00:12:42.880
part of it.
00:12:43.660
Flex went
00:12:44.160
through a kidney
00:12:44.700
transplant.
00:12:45.980
He has this
00:12:46.800
disease.
00:12:47.240
But it's a disease
00:12:48.360
that he got
00:12:48.860
at birth.
00:12:50.280
He still has it.
00:12:51.580
So the kidney
00:12:53.160
transplant
00:12:53.740
didn't cure Flex.
00:12:55.200
This is something
00:12:56.040
that Flex
00:12:56.460
will have to
00:12:56.960
go through
00:12:57.460
forever.
00:12:58.980
So 15 years
00:13:00.780
from now,
00:13:01.960
granted,
00:13:02.940
Flex is aware
00:13:03.600
of it now.
00:13:04.020
So he is very
00:13:04.560
proactive.
00:13:05.660
He is watching
00:13:06.760
everything.
00:13:07.360
They monitor
00:13:07.980
everything.
00:13:08.860
But that's not
00:13:09.500
to say that
00:13:10.040
in 15 years
00:13:11.120
because the
00:13:11.760
disease is there
00:13:12.740
destroying the
00:13:13.620
kidney right now.
00:13:14.940
It's there.
00:13:16.140
It's destroying
00:13:16.860
the kidney.
00:13:17.820
And in 15 years,
00:13:18.900
Flex may end
00:13:19.920
up needing
00:13:20.580
another kidney.
00:13:22.420
That's possible
00:13:23.580
because of that.
00:13:25.160
Now,
00:13:25.840
could have
00:13:26.100
bodybuilding
00:13:26.960
escalated that?
00:13:28.700
100%.
00:13:29.220
There's no doubt.
00:13:30.280
So you're not
00:13:30.560
discounting it either.
00:13:31.260
Absolutely not.
00:13:32.520
Listen,
00:13:33.320
if he would have
00:13:34.060
chose to be a
00:13:34.920
golfer,
00:13:35.820
he probably would
00:13:36.840
have needed a
00:13:37.840
kidney transplant
00:13:38.600
10 years later.
00:13:40.000
But he didn't.
00:13:40.800
He didn't choose that.
00:13:41.680
He chose to be
00:13:42.260
a bodybuilder.
00:13:43.480
And it doesn't
00:13:44.320
matter what
00:13:45.160
I did,
00:13:46.880
what he did.
00:13:47.760
It doesn't matter
00:13:48.840
because based off
00:13:50.000
of the chosen
00:13:50.760
sport,
00:13:51.840
it was going to
00:13:52.520
escalate the
00:13:53.200
problem.
00:13:53.660
And I'm sure
00:13:54.220
that Flex is
00:13:54.900
100% aware of
00:13:56.040
that.
00:13:56.540
It isn't because
00:13:57.540
he did extreme
00:13:59.040
things.
00:13:59.540
It isn't because
00:14:00.220
he'd done more
00:14:01.120
than the other
00:14:01.760
person or less
00:14:02.680
than the other
00:14:03.160
person.
00:14:03.680
It's because of
00:14:04.520
the sport in
00:14:05.280
general.
00:14:06.180
But at the end
00:14:06.740
of the day,
00:14:07.620
the reason he
00:14:08.380
had a kidney
00:14:10.180
transplant is
00:14:10.920
because he was
00:14:11.780
born,
00:14:12.760
unfortunately,
00:14:14.200
with FSGS.
00:14:15.700
And like I
00:14:16.700
said,
00:14:17.040
I can promise
00:14:17.580
you,
00:14:17.760
you can Google
00:14:18.240
that.
00:14:19.300
And it will
00:14:20.600
literally be the
00:14:21.200
first thing that
00:14:21.640
pops up.
00:14:22.320
And again,
00:14:23.580
it's not like
00:14:24.440
Sean didn't know
00:14:25.060
that.
00:14:25.400
He's 100% aware
00:14:27.080
of it.
00:14:27.460
But if he says,
00:14:28.840
eh,
00:14:29.440
he was born with
00:14:30.340
a kidney transplant
00:14:31.200
and this and
00:14:32.340
that,
00:14:32.580
that doesn't
00:14:33.620
really create
00:14:34.220
drama.
00:14:34.720
But if he uses
00:14:35.340
my name and
00:14:36.720
slams me,
00:14:37.940
then people are
00:14:38.500
like, oh,
00:14:39.100
shit,
00:14:39.500
that's a whole
00:14:40.320
different story.
00:14:41.760
But if he's
00:14:42.220
been doing this
00:14:42.880
all year long,
00:14:43.860
there's got to
00:14:44.440
be a sincere
00:14:45.900
because he also
00:14:47.300
said,
00:14:47.640
we'll come back
00:14:48.200
to the names
00:14:48.600
here in a minute
00:14:49.080
and we'll go
00:14:49.500
through some
00:14:49.880
of the pictures
00:14:50.280
that we got
00:14:50.660
here.
00:14:51.500
But he also
00:14:51.880
mentioned Don
00:14:52.340
Long, too.
00:14:52.900
Yeah, he
00:14:53.100
mentioned Don
00:14:53.580
Long.
00:14:53.860
He mentioned
00:14:54.160
all these
00:14:54.480
names.
00:14:54.980
But the part
00:14:55.920
that I want
00:14:56.640
to go to
00:14:57.060
is,
00:14:57.720
before we
00:14:58.600
get into
00:14:58.900
that,
00:14:59.340
he also
00:14:59.880
said Kevin
00:15:01.200
LeBron was
00:15:02.580
heated and he
00:15:03.640
wanted to take
00:15:04.400
his shirt off
00:15:04.920
because he
00:15:05.300
was setting
00:15:05.740
he wanted to
00:15:06.380
tear you a
00:15:06.880
new one.
00:15:07.380
Right,
00:15:07.480
right,
00:15:07.580
right.
00:15:07.940
So,
00:15:08.480
because there's
00:15:10.980
we get into
00:15:11.360
this,
00:15:11.660
I want to
00:15:11.940
play something
00:15:12.440
on what
00:15:12.900
Ronnie said
00:15:13.520
about you
00:15:13.940
and what
00:15:14.220
Fleck said
00:15:14.600
about you
00:15:14.960
because,
00:15:15.640
in all fairness,
00:15:16.400
The LeBron story
00:15:16.700
at least has
00:15:18.000
got some
00:15:18.540
partial truth
00:15:19.280
to it.
00:15:19.600
So there is
00:15:20.040
some partial
00:15:20.340
truth to it.
00:15:20.360
There is a
00:15:20.720
partial truth
00:15:21.300
to that.
00:15:21.960
It just
00:15:22.440
didn't
00:15:22.680
unfortunately
00:15:23.140
play out
00:15:23.500
like he said.
00:15:23.900
Let me play
00:15:24.220
this.
00:15:24.540
Let's watch
00:15:25.140
what Ronnie
00:15:25.520
and Fleck
00:15:25.820
say about
00:15:26.220
you.
00:15:26.560
How big
00:15:26.900
of a role
00:15:27.180
does your
00:15:27.460
nutritionist
00:15:27.920
play in
00:15:28.340
winning?
00:15:29.160
Had I not
00:15:30.520
had it,
00:15:30.820
I wouldn't
00:15:31.080
have won.
00:15:32.360
That big
00:15:32.780
of a role?
00:15:33.360
That big
00:15:33.740
good role.
00:15:34.420
Was it
00:15:34.700
the same
00:15:35.080
one those
00:15:35.420
eight years
00:15:35.820
when you
00:15:36.060
went back
00:15:36.400
to back
00:15:36.620
to back
00:15:36.860
to back?
00:15:37.100
Same one.
00:15:38.080
How much
00:15:38.460
trust did
00:15:39.020
you have
00:15:39.240
in his
00:15:39.440
feedback?
00:15:40.260
One thousand
00:15:41.160
percent trust.
00:15:42.180
I did
00:15:42.560
every single
00:15:43.540
thing he told
00:15:44.040
me to do.
00:15:44.400
Got it.
00:15:45.180
Was he a
00:15:45.620
nutritionist
00:15:46.060
for multiple
00:15:46.440
people or
00:15:46.880
only you?
00:15:47.680
Multiple
00:15:48.060
people.
00:15:48.720
Me,
00:15:49.360
Fleck.
00:15:49.660
Fleck is
00:15:50.060
the one
00:15:50.340
that told
00:15:50.860
me to go
00:15:51.200
to him.
00:15:51.500
Is this
00:15:51.720
Chad you're
00:15:52.140
talking about?
00:15:52.680
Chad Nichols?
00:15:53.260
Okay.
00:15:53.900
Chad Nichols,
00:15:54.600
wow.
00:15:55.720
Not sure
00:15:56.200
where I'd be
00:15:56.940
without him.
00:15:58.100
Yeah.
00:15:58.780
Taught me
00:15:59.200
a lot
00:15:59.560
in the
00:16:01.460
age of
00:16:01.860
gurus.
00:16:04.280
He taught
00:16:05.000
me that
00:16:05.300
Fleck's
00:16:05.780
you know
00:16:06.680
more about
00:16:07.160
you than
00:16:07.480
me.
00:16:08.120
The only
00:16:08.360
reason I
00:16:08.780
can help
00:16:09.180
you is if
00:16:09.720
you understand
00:16:10.280
your body
00:16:10.780
well enough
00:16:11.360
to explain
00:16:12.440
it to me
00:16:12.940
that I
00:16:13.320
can give
00:16:13.640
you advice.
00:16:16.440
So
00:16:16.960
polar
00:16:17.960
opposites.
00:16:19.080
Okay.
00:16:19.820
One camp
00:16:20.800
is
00:16:21.580
anti-Chan.
00:16:23.180
Sure.
00:16:23.620
Sure.
00:16:23.840
One camp
00:16:24.660
swears by
00:16:25.860
you.
00:16:26.100
Sure.
00:16:26.520
He didn't
00:16:27.580
even say
00:16:27.880
100%.
00:16:28.500
Right.
00:16:28.640
He said
00:16:28.880
1,000%.
00:16:30.020
Right.
00:16:30.800
One camp
00:16:31.360
swears by
00:16:31.960
you.
00:16:32.540
One camp
00:16:33.060
doesn't.
00:16:33.960
He says
00:16:34.340
the camp
00:16:35.040
with him
00:16:35.660
because obviously
00:16:36.820
when this
00:16:37.160
interview went
00:16:37.680
live with
00:16:38.100
Sean and
00:16:38.540
what he
00:16:38.800
said the
00:16:39.220
comments he
00:16:39.920
made about
00:16:40.200
you.
00:16:40.560
Sure.
00:16:40.940
You know
00:16:41.280
my phone
00:16:42.680
from bodybuilders
00:16:43.520
from all
00:16:43.920
over.
00:16:44.140
You can't
00:16:44.540
believe this.
00:16:44.980
He's right.
00:16:45.640
You can't.
00:16:46.120
Let me tell you
00:16:46.580
what it is.
00:16:46.860
So I'm kind
00:16:47.380
of like from
00:16:47.760
the outside.
00:16:48.160
I'm not even
00:16:48.500
in the bottom.
00:16:49.100
This is not
00:16:49.720
my game.
00:16:50.280
I'm in a
00:16:50.500
completely different
00:16:50.960
game but I'm
00:16:51.500
watching what's
00:16:52.000
happening with
00:16:52.380
this thing.
00:16:53.060
And I
00:16:53.240
noticed
00:16:53.540
automatically
00:16:53.940
like Democrats
00:16:54.580
and Republicans
00:16:55.120
and there's
00:16:55.640
those in the
00:16:55.980
middle.
00:16:56.420
I'm just
00:16:56.860
kind of
00:16:57.140
stable and
00:16:57.520
out of it.
00:16:57.840
There's a
00:16:58.040
partially right
00:16:58.620
partially not.
00:16:59.300
So let's
00:17:00.280
first address
00:17:00.800
the LeVron
00:17:01.260
thing.
00:17:01.760
Then we can
00:17:02.080
come back
00:17:02.480
with what
00:17:02.800
some of
00:17:03.040
these guys
00:17:03.320
said.
00:17:03.720
So the
00:17:04.060
part about
00:17:04.500
Kevin wanted
00:17:05.000
to rip
00:17:05.280
you a new
00:17:05.500
one.
00:17:05.820
Was that
00:17:06.440
partially
00:17:06.780
right?
00:17:08.380
No.
00:17:09.060
Okay.
00:17:09.680
But there
00:17:10.360
was a
00:17:10.980
confrontation.
00:17:11.600
So here's
00:17:12.180
what happened.
00:17:12.660
So we
00:17:13.140
this is
00:17:13.920
the first
00:17:14.500
this is
00:17:14.920
98.
00:17:15.720
So the
00:17:16.300
show is
00:17:16.980
in New
00:17:17.860
York.
00:17:18.860
So me
00:17:19.520
and Kim
00:17:19.840
fly and we
00:17:20.320
get in
00:17:20.600
late.
00:17:21.080
So we
00:17:21.460
are literally
00:17:22.080
coming in
00:17:22.740
at the
00:17:23.400
end of
00:17:24.000
the press
00:17:24.360
conference.
00:17:25.200
So we're
00:17:25.560
literally
00:17:25.940
getting ready
00:17:26.500
to or it's
00:17:27.080
actually kind
00:17:27.620
of the
00:17:27.820
athletes
00:17:28.120
meeting.
00:17:28.440
It was
00:17:28.540
kind of
00:17:28.780
before they
00:17:29.220
have like
00:17:29.580
literally a
00:17:30.200
press
00:17:30.400
conference.
00:17:30.920
It's more
00:17:31.240
of a
00:17:31.580
like an
00:17:32.380
athletes
00:17:32.700
meeting.
00:17:33.040
So they're
00:17:33.240
discussing
00:17:33.700
everything
00:17:34.440
kind of
00:17:34.980
amongst
00:17:35.340
themselves
00:17:35.820
and it's
00:17:36.220
not really
00:17:36.580
an open
00:17:37.160
thing.
00:17:37.740
There's
00:17:38.000
media in
00:17:38.600
there.
00:17:38.800
There's
00:17:38.920
people in
00:17:39.300
there.
00:17:39.640
But it's
00:17:39.960
not like
00:17:40.360
it is
00:17:40.840
today.
00:17:42.400
And so
00:17:42.920
we're
00:17:43.100
walking in
00:17:43.520
there and
00:17:43.820
everybody's
00:17:44.260
like bro
00:17:45.180
you do
00:17:45.620
not want
00:17:46.180
to go
00:17:46.400
in there.
00:17:47.140
Like this
00:17:47.520
whole thing
00:17:48.080
was about
00:17:48.520
you.
00:17:48.820
And I'm
00:17:49.000
like what
00:17:49.900
do you
00:17:50.080
mean it
00:17:50.640
was about
00:17:50.960
me?
00:17:51.440
And I'm
00:17:51.680
like dude
00:17:52.740
they're
00:17:53.060
literally
00:17:53.700
ripping you
00:17:54.360
a new
00:17:54.600
asshole.
00:17:55.160
And I'm
00:17:55.300
like so
00:17:56.140
I'm
00:17:56.480
like okay
00:17:57.000
so that's
00:17:58.680
all they
00:17:58.960
said.
00:17:59.220
So we
00:17:59.360
don't know
00:17:59.620
who it
00:18:00.280
is yet.
00:18:00.700
Right?
00:18:01.260
So we
00:18:01.820
walk in
00:18:02.360
now we're
00:18:02.760
originally
00:18:03.440
thinking like
00:18:04.000
okay we
00:18:04.460
know it's
00:18:05.280
Sean.
00:18:05.620
We know
00:18:05.900
Sean's
00:18:06.340
involved but
00:18:06.720
we don't
00:18:07.000
know all
00:18:07.600
the players
00:18:08.100
yet.
00:18:08.960
So we
00:18:09.620
get in
00:18:10.180
and I'm
00:18:11.060
met by
00:18:11.760
Paul
00:18:12.120
DeLette
00:18:12.500
and Flex
00:18:14.060
Wheeler.
00:18:14.500
Just to
00:18:14.880
get the
00:18:15.140
dates right
00:18:15.560

00:18:16.160

00:18:17.540
call with
00:18:18.040
Boyer.
00:18:18.760
This is
00:18:19.140
post.
00:18:19.840
Yes this
00:18:20.300

00:18:20.880

press conference
00:18:28.440
and it's
00:18:30.180

00:18:30.860
So everybody

00:18:31.840
of made
00:18:32.660

00:18:49.500
They're like
00:18:49.680
they're talking
00:18:50.020
about a black
00:18:50.580
bag.
00:18:51.040
Well the black
00:18:51.380
bag was actually
00:18:52.020
a little fanny
00:18:52.580
pack that I
00:18:53.040
wore just all
00:18:53.980
the time like
00:18:54.480
back in the
00:18:54.880
day I like
00:18:55.280
I literally
00:18:55.840
no matter
00:18:56.380
where I have
00:18:56.760
there's a
00:18:57.020
picture of
00:18:57.340
me there's
00:18:57.620
like a
00:18:57.860
fanny
00:18:58.040
packed on
00:18:58.400
and I'm
00:18:59.720
like listen
00:19:00.260
they can
00:19:00.560
search it
00:19:00.860
right now.
00:19:01.320
I don't
00:19:01.820
have a
00:19:02.080
problem with
00:19:02.420
that.
00:19:03.160
And they're
00:19:03.660
like but
00:19:04.080
yeah so this
00:19:04.920
is what all
00:19:05.480
went down
00:19:06.040
and Kevin
00:19:07.480
LeVron said
00:19:08.800
that you
00:19:09.500
called him
00:19:10.400
and literally
00:19:11.220
told him
00:19:12.060
he ain't got
00:19:12.780
a chance
00:19:13.300
in hell
00:19:13.960
of placing
00:19:14.820
in the
00:19:15.220
Olympia
00:19:15.800
without me.
00:19:17.780
Okay now
00:19:18.560
I lose my
00:19:19.260
shit.
00:19:20.280
Now like
00:19:21.100
I'm like
00:19:22.000
pissed because
00:19:22.680
up until this
00:19:23.420
point Kevin
00:19:24.200
LeVron is not
00:19:25.040
even on the
00:19:26.940
radar like
00:19:27.720
literally not
00:19:28.500
on the radar.
00:19:29.700
So now I'm
00:19:30.640
pissed and so
00:19:31.220
I happen to
00:19:31.720
just catch out
00:19:32.320
of the corner
00:19:32.700
of my eye
00:19:33.140
Kevin LeVron
00:19:34.100
walking kind
00:19:34.780
of the
00:19:34.960
outskirts
00:19:35.620
of the
00:19:37.580
ballroom.
00:19:39.720
So I just
00:19:40.600
literally meet
00:19:41.260
him like
00:19:41.900
immediately
00:19:42.600
and I'm
00:19:43.900
like dude
00:19:44.680
what what
00:19:45.460
the fuck
00:19:45.760
is this
00:19:46.120
like what
00:19:46.460
is this
00:19:46.780
like I'm
00:19:47.200
hearing that
00:19:47.660
like I
00:19:48.040
called you
00:19:48.680
and he's
00:19:49.020
like bro
00:19:49.300
bro no
00:19:49.780
it was
00:19:50.260
misunderstood
00:19:50.760
like it
00:19:51.540
was Wayne
00:19:52.020
it was Wayne
00:19:52.700
and I'm
00:19:53.280
like so now
00:19:54.540
I think he's
00:19:55.060
lying to me
00:19:55.620
now I
00:19:56.000
literally flip
00:19:56.900
out like
00:19:57.400
literally flip
00:19:58.380
out and I'm
00:19:59.380
like like
00:20:00.060
literally throwing
00:20:00.820
f-bombs and
00:20:01.440
I'm like dude
00:20:01.980
I'll beat your
00:20:02.780
ass right here.
00:20:03.740
Okay so I'm
00:20:04.740
like at this
00:20:05.440
point like I'm
00:20:06.140
going
00:20:06.360
You're telling
00:20:06.720
this to Kevin
00:20:07.240
Kevin LeVron
00:20:07.920
I'm gonna beat
00:20:08.460
his ass right
00:20:09.060
there.
00:20:09.600
So he's got a
00:20:10.280
training partner
00:20:10.940
behind him.
00:20:11.640
So I'm probably
00:20:12.280
300 pounds right
00:20:13.840
here.
00:20:14.000
He's got this
00:20:14.580
training partner
00:20:15.120
behind him who
00:20:15.780
is also probably
00:20:16.740
300 pounds right
00:20:17.860
so he steps up
00:20:19.300
and he's like
00:20:19.620
what did you say
00:20:20.300
and so now I'm
00:20:22.020
like screaming
00:20:22.660
back and forth
00:20:23.400
like and we're
00:20:24.080
literally three
00:20:25.620
seconds from
00:20:26.340
going like we're
00:20:27.340
getting ready to
00:20:27.780
go.
00:20:28.120
Who's on your
00:20:28.600
side right now?
00:20:29.220
Paul Dillon and
00:20:29.700
Flex are around
00:20:30.320
you?
00:20:30.660
Dillon and Flex are
00:20:30.800
back there like
00:20:31.780
Kim is trying to
00:20:32.460
stay between us
00:20:33.400
like I'm screaming
00:20:34.540
like LeVron is
00:20:35.600
right there but
00:20:36.280
through the whole
00:20:36.820
time LeVron is
00:20:37.640
like bro this is
00:20:38.620
a misunderstanding
00:20:39.200
like this is not
00:20:40.200
you know like I
00:20:40.740
didn't say that
00:20:41.480
like it was
00:20:42.180
Wayne D'Amelio
00:20:43.100
da da da da da
00:20:43.820
but then you know
00:20:45.220
like the training
00:20:45.700
partner steps in
00:20:46.300
so then Steve
00:20:47.480
Weinberger like
00:20:48.780
literally grabs me
00:20:49.880
and is like dude
00:20:50.920
you gotta chill out
00:20:52.100
like and I'm like
00:20:52.780
man I'm tired of
00:20:53.740
this shit.
00:20:54.440
I'm fed up with
00:20:55.220
these you know
00:20:55.880
guys running their
00:20:56.880
mouth like I'm
00:20:57.840
gonna beat their
00:20:58.560
fucking ass right
00:20:59.420
here.
00:21:00.100
Shut the door
00:21:00.720
and he's like
00:21:02.820
dude you gotta
00:21:03.260
chill out like
00:21:03.800
this is not the
00:21:04.340
place and I'm
00:21:04.780
like alright you're
00:21:05.980
right this is not
00:21:06.680
the place right.
00:21:08.300
So now do you have
00:21:08.780
a relationship with
00:21:09.540
him outside like
00:21:10.260
are you guys good?
00:21:11.100
You and Steve?
00:21:11.800
Yes me and Steve
00:21:12.700
are good yeah so
00:21:13.380
that's why he grabbed
00:21:14.020
me.
00:21:14.200
How about Wayne just
00:21:14.800
to put it all
00:21:15.340
together?
00:21:15.860
So Wayne's a
00:21:16.520
different story
00:21:17.120
Wayne's a different
00:21:17.980
story right?
00:21:18.540
Because Sean also
00:21:18.640
doesn't like Wayne
00:21:19.340
yeah they don't but
00:21:20.380
at the time they
00:21:21.020
were kind of
00:21:21.920
you know 98
00:21:23.200
not on one
00:21:23.760
right and so
00:21:25.100
big Steve grabs me
00:21:26.400
he's like dude you
00:21:27.080
know how this is
00:21:27.680
people talk like you
00:21:28.800
know he calms me
00:21:29.480
down you gotta stop
00:21:30.380
this shit blah blah
00:21:31.280
it's not the time
00:21:32.340
I realize it.
00:21:33.520
So literally like
00:21:34.880
we were three
00:21:36.020
seconds from just
00:21:37.240
you know 600
00:21:37.960
pounds of stupidity
00:21:39.160
like you know
00:21:40.000
bouncing around
00:21:40.840
in the ballroom
00:21:41.560
of the you know
00:21:42.520
Olympia press
00:21:43.780
conference like
00:21:44.560
just an idiot
00:21:45.260
really basically
00:21:46.160
that's what you
00:21:46.900
know and so
00:21:48.860
at the whole
00:21:49.860
weekend though
00:21:50.600
like they literally
00:21:51.360
assigned a security
00:21:53.660
guard to LeBron
00:21:55.400
so LeBron's got
00:21:56.200
the security guard
00:21:56.900
with him and I'm
00:21:57.620
thinking like and
00:21:58.320
so I tell Steve
00:21:59.400
like dude
00:21:59.860
like really
00:22:01.020
like you're like
00:22:02.760
and they're like
00:22:03.320
ah it's just
00:22:03.840
for precautions
00:22:04.540
they know you're
00:22:05.500
pissed and all
00:22:06.320
this and I'm
00:22:06.780
like like I was
00:22:07.760
pissed like 30
00:22:08.700
minutes ago
00:22:09.220
I'm not pissed
00:22:09.860
anymore.
00:22:10.580
Now what reputation
00:22:11.340
do you have at
00:22:11.740
this time?
00:22:12.120
Do you have a
00:22:12.360
reputation of
00:22:13.240
somebody that
00:22:13.680
loses it?
00:22:14.300
Are you feared?
00:22:15.020
Not really.
00:22:15.640
Are you a chill
00:22:16.300
guy or are you
00:22:16.900
like an underground
00:22:17.500
guy?
00:22:17.880
I'm kind of a chill
00:22:18.440
guy but like
00:22:19.220
everybody knew who
00:22:19.840
my friends were
00:22:20.540
like everybody
00:22:21.220
knew who I
00:22:21.820
like they knew
00:22:23.780
like who I ran
00:22:24.620
with so they knew.
00:22:25.300
Friends as in
00:22:25.680
bodybuilder friends
00:22:26.360
or friends like you
00:22:27.120
had some scary
00:22:28.440
friends.
00:22:28.780
Yeah.
00:22:29.200
Okay.
00:22:29.580
Got it.
00:22:30.320
Got it.
00:22:30.800
And so but I don't
00:22:31.640
think that was really
00:22:32.480
I think it was just
00:22:33.500
you were connected in
00:22:34.480
a way that they knew
00:22:35.440
yes.
00:22:36.000
To not cross you.
00:22:36.900
Yeah.
00:22:37.360
Well I don't know
00:22:37.780
about that.
00:22:38.260
I just think that
00:22:38.920
everybody was at that
00:22:40.820
time like hey listen
00:22:42.000
you know this is what
00:22:42.740
we do and this is
00:22:43.960
what's going to
00:22:44.340
happen if this is
00:22:45.120
what you know if
00:22:46.000
this goes down.
00:22:46.580
Okay.
00:22:47.060
Now as the weekend
00:22:49.220
goes on it becomes
00:22:50.500
very apparent that
00:22:52.320
Kevin LeBron didn't
00:22:53.380
have shit to do
00:22:54.060
with anything.
00:22:55.200
Okay.
00:22:55.680
So that so
00:22:56.740
literally it didn't
00:22:58.460
have anything to do
00:22:59.200
with Kevin.
00:22:59.860
Like it was literally
00:23:02.160
Wayne D'Amelia and
00:23:04.120
Sean Ray like back
00:23:06.260
and forth just
00:23:06.980
stirring the pot and
00:23:08.720
it became very
00:23:09.600
apparent of that
00:23:10.320
right off the bat and
00:23:11.560
I literally I didn't
00:23:14.020
do it that weekend
00:23:14.860
because obviously I
00:23:15.880
stayed completely away
00:23:16.920
from Kevin LeBron
00:23:17.580
because obviously he
00:23:18.340
was competing the
00:23:18.980
last thing I wanted
00:23:19.580
to do was create a
00:23:20.540
more of a you know
00:23:21.380
bullshit drama for
00:23:22.440
him.
00:23:24.140
But later on I
00:23:25.480
absolutely apologized
00:23:26.640
to him told him
00:23:27.520
like look man I
00:23:28.200
totally lost my
00:23:29.220
shit but that was
00:23:30.540
because of Sean like
00:23:31.760
I literally should
00:23:32.620
have never done that
00:23:33.500
it was a wrong time
00:23:35.080
wrong place like it
00:23:36.420
was idiotic you know
00:23:37.600
type of thing.
00:23:38.960
Me and Kevin shook
00:23:40.080
hands we never ever
00:23:41.000
had a problem ever
00:23:41.960
again from that.
00:23:43.180
Ever?
00:23:43.720
Ever.
00:23:43.980
No.
00:23:44.240
I get along with
00:23:45.500
Are you in
00:23:46.240
communication with
00:23:46.840
Kevin now?
00:23:47.100
I don't communicate
00:23:47.700
with him but I mean
00:23:48.340
we're friendly.
00:23:48.760
I was just curious to
00:23:49.120
know if maybe you got
00:23:49.840
a message saying hey
00:23:50.600
did you see the
00:23:51.440
interview that didn't
00:23:52.460
happen that hasn't
00:23:53.200
happened.
00:23:53.220
We don't communicate
00:23:53.860
back and forth like
00:23:54.580
that but like when he
00:23:55.660
was making a comeback
00:23:56.380
you know I reached out
00:23:58.080
to him like dude you
00:23:58.920
know I'd love to you
00:23:59.660
know I can't wait to
00:24:00.160
see on stage type of
00:24:01.040
thing.
00:24:01.280
We were friendly with
00:24:02.120
Jesus in no way shape
00:24:03.500
or form when I say
00:24:04.060
we're friends but like
00:24:05.100
you know we're friendly
00:24:05.900
with each other and I
00:24:06.760
have a lot of respect
00:24:07.380
for him and I would to
00:24:10.020
this day say like that you
00:24:11.640
know me jumping the gun
00:24:12.500
that was 100% my fault
00:24:13.760
like I just lost my
00:24:15.560
shit because of all
00:24:16.400
the stuff that had you
00:24:17.640
know went on and
00:24:18.340
that's what happened
00:24:18.960
but at no point did
00:24:21.080
Kevin LeVrone like rip
00:24:22.840
his shirt off like
00:24:24.540
again like that is so
00:24:26.300
like far-fetched and
00:24:27.640
and literally there was
00:24:28.740
20 people around like
00:24:30.280
there was 20 people
00:24:31.280
standing around watching
00:24:32.700
the whole thing which
00:24:33.740
for Sean to say is
00:24:35.060
literally delusional like
00:24:36.760
that's the part that like
00:24:37.760
is crazy and the part
00:24:39.080
that is weird and I was
00:24:41.220
a cop for five years
00:24:42.360
and people that lie
00:24:44.220
all the time literally
00:24:45.940
when they lie to their
00:24:48.140
spouses or to their
00:24:49.540
employers they do it
00:24:51.040
all the time they end
00:24:52.840
up blurring reality and
00:24:54.820
the lie and so they just
00:24:56.560
don't understand and
00:24:57.640
because the lie is
00:24:58.580
usually what rotates in
00:24:59.780
their head most of the
00:25:00.980
time they don't know
00:25:01.820
the truth they don't
00:25:02.740
understand the truth
00:25:03.600
they don't know where
00:25:04.320
the truth is so for him
00:25:06.120
to literally come up with
00:25:07.400
a story that you know
00:25:09.000
Kevin LaVrone was like
00:25:10.540
angered and he was like
00:25:12.000
this madman dripping in
00:25:14.120
sweat and he rips his
00:25:15.140
shirt off and he's ready
00:25:15.980
to fight me was
00:25:17.060
literally idiotic like
00:25:18.840
idiotic and and really
00:25:20.760
like yeah I lost my cool
00:25:22.660
and but it was actually
00:25:24.340
probably closer to me and
00:25:25.460
the training partner
00:25:26.300
getting into it because
00:25:27.780
the training partner
00:25:28.440
ended up stepping forward
00:25:29.740
and that was literally
00:25:30.920
more of it and Steve
00:25:33.180
Weinberger broke the
00:25:34.100
entire thing up you know
00:25:35.700
like pulled me off
00:25:36.800
calmed me down sent me
00:25:38.640
on my way we and
00:25:39.660
everything was fine like
00:25:40.560
it was over with that
00:25:41.400
me and and again me and
00:25:42.920
Kevin never had another
00:25:43.900
problem after that ever
00:25:45.400
when's the last time you
00:25:47.600
and Sean spoke spoke spoke
00:25:50.480
spoke spoke so me and
00:25:51.740
Dan Solomon done a radio
00:25:52.960
podcast called pro body
00:25:54.340
building okay weekly and I
00:25:57.380
believe he was on there
00:25:58.560
this is how long ago this
00:26:01.140
has been
00:26:01.700
eight years ago probably
00:26:06.400
eight years ago that's a
00:26:07.600
while back yeah it's been
00:26:08.540
a long time okay so me and
00:26:10.160
Sean haven't talked any time
00:26:11.660
soon outside of that eight
00:26:13.420
years have you had any kind
00:26:14.660
of a interaction any dinner
00:26:16.180
or lunch nothing zero no
00:26:18.780
nothing nothing and that's
00:26:20.100
public people know you and
00:26:21.520
Sean are on different
00:26:22.140
camps absolutely okay yeah
00:26:23.620
100% so let me ask you a
00:26:25.300
question who else would
00:26:27.300
agree because yesterday I
00:26:28.620
was reading some of the
00:26:29.300
posts and people were tagging
00:26:30.300
me and I saw what a couple
00:26:32.660
people posted Samir posted
00:26:34.360
what Sean said and all these
00:26:35.460
guys and I was kind of being
00:26:36.780
tagged me the Samir one too
00:26:38.120
yeah so I'm getting I'm
00:26:39.000
getting all this stuff and
00:26:39.720
again I'm reading I'm like
00:26:41.100
okay good okay this person
00:26:42.300
saying this and there was a
00:26:44.380
lot of people involved
00:26:45.360
Bob even got involved
00:26:46.600
you know some people got
00:26:47.960
involved so their camp if
00:26:51.000
they're saying that was
00:26:52.720
there anybody that was
00:26:53.940
worried about you getting
00:26:55.020
close to the other guys
00:26:56.560
like there was a story about
00:26:57.780
they were trying to get
00:26:58.720
everybody to be tested that
00:26:59.960
year because it was the
00:27:00.620
open is there truth behind
00:27:02.080
that part where they were
00:27:03.100
I mean they were
00:27:03.640
absolutely trying to get it
00:27:04.620
tested yeah they were
00:27:05.620
trying to get the guys in
00:27:06.420
your camp tested they they
00:27:08.200
wanted the whole show
00:27:08.980
tested I believe because
00:27:10.240
they were under the
00:27:11.160
impression that my guys had
00:27:12.700
an unfair advantage so
00:27:14.380
that's where like the
00:27:15.980
plasma expander stuff
00:27:17.440
stories you know became and
00:27:19.620
so they wanted they they
00:27:22.380
basically wanted a blood test
00:27:23.820
for plasma expanders because
00:27:25.480
they thought that would even
00:27:27.300
the playing field and the
00:27:29.300
funny story of that is so
00:27:31.180
Wayne D'Amelia calls me like
00:27:33.040
before the Olympia and is
00:27:34.700
talking to me and he says
00:27:36.200
listen we're going to test
00:27:39.260
we're going to blood test at
00:27:41.000
the at the Olympia and I'm
00:27:42.020
like it's all right and
00:27:44.340
they're like we're going to
00:27:45.120
blood test for plasma
00:27:46.260
expanders and I'm like okay
00:27:48.280
and he's like you know so I
00:27:50.700
just wanted to let you know
00:27:51.800
and I'm like listen you
00:27:52.680
realize that none of my guys
00:27:54.220
are using plasma expanders I
00:27:55.500
go I said if you knew
00:27:57.360
anything about plasma
00:27:58.500
expanders you would realize
00:27:59.860
that to use them you
00:28:01.660
actually need a diuretic so
00:28:04.080
a plasma expander will pull
00:28:05.720
water into the blood but you
00:28:07.240
still have to be able to get
00:28:08.500
rid of the water so I said
00:28:10.800
what you need to do is
00:28:13.160
there's five diuretics that
00:28:15.600
you realize aren't on the
00:28:16.980
diuretic list right I said if
00:28:19.540
you're going to test for the
00:28:21.020
plasma expanders and you
00:28:22.740
literally want to make this a
00:28:25.140
hundred percent add the five
00:28:27.320
diuretics and he's like well
00:28:30.580
we're comfortable with the
00:28:32.120
diuretic test we're just
00:28:34.540
concerned about the plasma
00:28:36.000
expanders now the five
00:28:38.740
diuretics that were very
00:28:40.520
common off the diuretic test
00:28:42.940
was clearly what everybody
00:28:44.880
was going to use nobody needed
00:28:47.020
plasma expanders because there
00:28:49.020
was already diuretics that was
00:28:50.880
available to them that wasn't
00:28:52.420
going to be tested so the whole
00:28:54.380
thing the whole staged like
00:28:56.960
check his bag and all of this
00:28:59.180
kind of stuff was idiotic
00:29:01.420
because in reality Wayne
00:29:03.640
D'Amelio knew that there was
00:29:05.780
tests there was diuretics off the
00:29:08.280
test to begin with not only did
00:29:10.500
he know he literally told certain
00:29:14.080
athletes like hey listen most of
00:29:17.500
the athletes are using this diuretic
00:29:19.720
because it's not on the list like
00:29:22.760
it was very well known very well
00:29:25.560
known very well nobody so why is he
00:29:27.760
calling you though what is so
00:29:29.480
again is it was it is is that the
00:29:31.540
world where everyone knows who the
00:29:34.180
you know the the Chad Nichols is
00:29:36.440
because there's names of them out
00:29:37.480
there that people use are there's
00:29:38.980
you know the names that are okay
00:29:40.240
are they very close in
00:29:42.340
communication with folks like when
00:29:43.960
Wayne was like hey here's what we're
00:29:45.340
looking at this you're no that was a
00:29:46.980
one-off thing that happened it was
00:29:48.560
well I mean it was when you know the
00:29:50.320
the whole diuretic thing took place
00:29:52.060
but I think that what ended up
00:29:53.700
happening was my athletes literally
00:29:57.180
changed sport like they looked
00:30:01.600
different like they were in better
00:30:03.820
shape they were drier they were more
00:30:05.940
conditioned and literally the people
00:30:09.540
were like well obviously if that's the
00:30:12.340
way they look there has to be
00:30:14.640
something he has to have something
00:30:16.980
that is clearly not available to
00:30:20.260
everybody else like and that's I
00:30:22.420
believe what you know and so I don't
00:30:24.660
necessarily know they ever had planned
00:30:26.460
on direct you know I mean blood
00:30:28.900
testing because it would be just an
00:30:31.380
monumental you know undertaking I think
00:30:34.740
the whole thing was they were trying
00:30:36.200
to be like well maybe he does have
00:30:37.740
something so we're gonna scare the
00:30:39.000
shit out of him and out of him out of
00:30:41.760
me okay yeah and so well you know is he
00:30:44.600
am I gonna be this am I gonna be that
00:30:46.440
but in reality there never was anything
00:30:48.720
there never was whatever happened to
00:30:50.220
you what would they were able to do
00:30:51.940
anything out of you or no nothing can
00:30:53.400
you go to do you go to Mr. Olympia every
00:30:55.020
year every year every year you're there
00:30:56.660
absolutely and how are you treated when
00:30:58.200
you go there but just like normal normal
00:31:00.420
guy that's absolutely no one's giving you
00:31:02.040
a hard time any of that stuff okay so
00:31:04.200
are there any other people that have bad
00:31:06.600
relationships with you at the level of
00:31:08.040
shot or no I don't think so nothing not
00:31:10.720
that people know the marketplace I mean
00:31:12.240
don't know I mean there's there's no
00:31:13.620
doubt I think that even you know when
00:31:15.360
you come out with this like listen I
00:31:16.680
could I could give you every possible
00:31:18.840
scenario of why Sean lied but at the end
00:31:21.540
of the day there's gonna be people that
00:31:23.040
like me and they will believe me and
00:31:24.180
there's gonna be people like Sean they
00:31:25.320
will believe him but at the end of it
00:31:28.040
all Sean is literally the one that had
00:31:33.120
the biggest hard-on for me and it was
00:31:35.040
very obvious why he did because like he
00:31:38.100
said he just like he said in 96 you
00:31:40.620
know I didn't I didn't need anybody's
00:31:42.000
help because I play second to Dorian
00:31:44.160
Yates actually plays third but Nasser
00:31:47.280
flunked the diuretic test which then
00:31:49.800
moved him into second place and like you
00:31:53.700
know he was like I you know this is this
00:31:55.980
is you know who I am type of thing but
00:31:58.440
unfortunately he never placed in the top
00:32:02.160
three ever again ever and my guys beat
00:32:06.420
him from that point on like without a
00:32:09.360
doubt and the more angry he got the more
00:32:13.020
driven I became and the more like like I
00:32:17.940
mean there was a point where potentially I
00:32:20.340
would have probably worked with every
00:32:23.340
one of his competitors for free just to
00:32:28.320
bury him
00:32:29.220
let me ask you a different question
00:32:31.140
here's a question for you say he did
00:32:33.480
work with you let's just say yes let's
00:32:36.840
just say you got your story history
00:32:39.060
everybody's gonna hear both sides let's
00:32:40.620
just say you know somebody came in says
00:32:43.320
listen let's just try to make this work
00:32:45.000
let's just say you did would he have had
00:32:47.460
a chance to win at all no no that's a
00:32:50.580
that's a strong statement because he's
00:32:51.780
been second he's been top 5 30
00:32:54.060
competitions you know he's beaten
00:32:55.460
everybody outside of Haney and Yates
00:32:56.940
you're saying there's no way even if you
00:32:59.100
work with him that he could win the whole
00:33:00.360
thing no chance
00:33:01.200
why is that here's the thing so during the
00:33:03.900
time frame that I would have came in from
00:33:05.880
97 on yeah Flex Wheeler is also in the
00:33:10.140
mix and Ronnie Coleman is in the mix and I
00:33:13.620
can tell you that Sean Ray at a hundred
00:33:16.320
percent doesn't beat either one of those
00:33:19.680
guys at 90 percent no chance and is he is he a
00:33:24.240
good bodybuilder look I think he's a piece
00:33:26.160
of shit person I'm not going to deny that
00:33:28.500
he was a good bodybuilder like ever like of
00:33:30.900
course he was a good bodybuilder but was
00:33:33.000
he a Flex Wheeler bodybuilder no he wasn't a Flex
00:33:36.600
Wheeler bodybuilder he didn't have the
00:33:38.160
genetics of Flex Wheeler he didn't have
00:33:40.440
anything close to that was he close to
00:33:44.280
Ronnie Coleman look nobody's close to Ronnie
00:33:45.900
Coleman at a hundred percent nobody I don't
00:33:47.700
care what anybody says they can idolize
00:33:50.100
whoever they want Ronnie if you look at
00:33:53.220
Ronnie in 2003 we may never see that again
00:33:57.060
ever like I mean if we do it'll be an
00:34:01.980
amazing sight but he was that far ahead of
00:34:05.100
everybody that far ahead so if you work
00:34:08.820
with you again let me take this back I
00:34:11.040
know you weren't in 90 96 but the two
00:34:13.320
years where he got he was right behind
00:34:14.940
Yates Yates if you did could he have one
00:34:18.960
at all with Yates maybe not Ronnie maybe
00:34:21.180
not Flex how about against Yates it's
00:34:24.120
close you're still saying it's close it's
00:34:26.580
close not a hundred percent not a hundred
00:34:28.260
percent okay yeah so even with a injured
00:34:31.140
Yates he would have still an injured
00:34:32.760
weight an injured Yates yes he would have
00:34:35.580
won he possibly wins so yeah the only reason
00:34:38.280
I'm asking this question is because you
00:34:40.360
you know sometimes when somebody obviously
00:34:42.780
you said you know how you feel about him as an
00:34:44.520
individual but as a bodybuilder it is what
00:34:45.900
it is it's still credit to you to be able
00:34:48.000
to say that if you had it he could have won
00:34:49.320
the whole thing he's still somebody that
00:34:50.580
at the end of the day like Yates was
00:34:52.220
injured I thought I thought Nasser beating
00:34:54.120
I thought Nasser beating there's numerous
00:34:56.620
guys that you know like Flex Wheeler at a
00:34:58.960
hundred percent on that given day beats
00:35:00.940
him like he you know Dorian was very
00:35:03.480
vulnerable that year like he wasn't you
00:35:06.620
know the Dorian of you know the the years
00:35:09.360
that he was so dominant like he was a very
00:35:11.160
vulnerable athlete what year 98
00:35:13.500
97 okay so 97 he was a vulnerable he had
00:35:18.240
had the injury he wasn't in good shape he
00:35:20.740
had trouble controlling his midsection like
00:35:22.460
it was a train wreck for him but he he
00:35:25.200
luckily pulled it off you know and and it's
00:35:28.040
probably still to this day it's probably one of
00:35:30.460
the most controversial you know wins he's you
00:35:33.760
know he's got dominant body parts but when
00:35:35.720
you put you know you go pose for pose it's a
00:35:38.880
tough it's tough to get to the point where
00:35:42.480
you can justify him winning and don't get me
00:35:44.820
wrong I'm a Dorian Yates fan like I love
00:35:47.220
everything about him everything his work
00:35:49.840
ethic his like I love all of that you
00:35:52.740
know but just on that given year he just
00:35:55.620
wasn't his best so okay so now let's talk
00:35:58.020
about the other part so what what made you so
00:36:01.620
different than everybody else's camp
00:36:03.720
everybody has access to certain things but
00:36:06.480
what was so different with you I think the
00:36:08.520
difference is so you're exactly right
00:36:09.960
everybody has access to the same thing
00:36:11.820
everybody does every okay so there isn't
00:36:14.320
like a magic potion out here that all of a
00:36:17.160
sudden this camp has like you know I mean it
00:36:20.720
doesn't matter like you've heard all the
00:36:22.020
stories about Kuwait like okay you know
00:36:24.460
like yeah all that like oh shit like you
00:36:26.780
know that they had the anabolic chicken
00:36:28.420
everything but at the end of the day they
00:36:30.620
have access to exactly the same things
00:36:33.560
that everybody else has a lot of people
00:36:35.840
say that a lot I don't say that our
00:36:37.040
stuff is better than you know Europe or
00:36:39.500
Australia or you guys actually I disagree
00:36:41.660
like I think our knowledge may be a
00:36:43.880
little ahead I think as far as like the
00:36:46.160
science behind everything but what they
00:36:49.040
have access to like as far as
00:36:51.020
supplementation I got it so you know all
00:36:53.060
the same so it's all the same okay so
00:36:54.740
what is the differentiator how you piece it
00:36:56.720
together how you put it together so I
00:36:58.580
think the difference is a couple things
00:37:01.160
one you have to be able to motivate these
00:37:03.020
guys and you have to be able to click
00:37:04.160
with them so that's why like listen I
00:37:05.660
didn't take on every athlete that wanted
00:37:07.040
to work with me because there was
00:37:08.240
athletes that I knew that we were just
00:37:09.980
not going to click not that I disliked
00:37:12.440
them not that I thought there was anything
00:37:14.480
bad about them I just knew like we
00:37:16.460
weren't going to be a good working
00:37:17.660
relationship I think that the key is that
00:37:20.720
the other key is I think most nutritionists
00:37:23.560
have one way of thinking they have one way
00:37:26.420
of doing everything so keto diet is very
00:37:30.140
you know very popular right now there's
00:37:31.760
a lot of trainers that swear by a keto
00:37:34.040
diet but it is virtually impossible to
00:37:36.440
think that every bodybuilder that gets
00:37:38.360
ready for a show is going to be a hundred
00:37:40.760
percent on a keto diet it's impossible but
00:37:44.000
most trainers think that way there they
00:37:46.660
only have one process that's it it you
00:37:49.220
know if it's high carb or if it's whatever
00:37:51.380
it is that's the process that's what
00:37:53.760
they try to apply to everyone and they
00:37:57.440
try to force that bodybuilder to with you
00:38:00.600
know come within that guideline I never
00:38:03.380
thought that way ever I didn't think that
00:38:06.020
way on nutrition I didn't think that way
00:38:07.940
on training I felt like everything had to
00:38:10.880
be individualized I felt like it had to
00:38:13.380
be something one that they could do so
00:38:15.560
flex perfect example I knew that he
00:38:19.040
wasn't going to be a guy that was going
00:38:20.800
to be just you know regimented in it and
00:38:24.160
like this like nitpicky guy that's going
00:38:26.100
to be able to eat X amount of this
00:38:27.800
you're going based on personality as well
00:38:29.420
personality like and and a lot of that
00:38:31.820
was how I literally was able to get from
00:38:35.080
point A to point B so successfully because
00:38:37.860
with each person you have to manage that
00:38:41.200
and you know eventually you end up with a
00:38:43.860
guy like Ronnie Coleman who is just a
00:38:45.700
machine and you know I remember the first
00:38:48.020
time like we we did stuff together and he
00:38:50.480
won the Olympia and it's funny like the
00:38:52.880
whole time I was I was telling guys like
00:38:54.320
man Ronnie Coleman looks crazy and they're
00:38:55.740
like that third place best you know
00:38:57.200
they're they literally didn't think you
00:38:58.500
know until they saw him and then after
00:39:00.740
the thing and I've told this story before
00:39:02.900
I said you know Ronnie just for my
00:39:04.620
personal you know and because I've dealt
00:39:06.980
with all these guys just for my personal
00:39:09.000
use as far as like what happened how many
00:39:11.960
times do you think you cheated on your diet
00:39:13.600
this was at the banquet and he looked like
00:39:16.020
I mean like I was nuts and he's like it
00:39:18.480
never even crossed my mind and I was like
00:39:21.180
and I knew at that point like oh this is
00:39:24.240
gonna be nuts like this guy is a different
00:39:27.240
human being but you had you couldn't take
00:39:30.900
that way of thinking with a flex wheeler or
00:39:33.360
like Chris Cormier like listen like Chris
00:39:35.580
Cormier was like I always called it like the
00:39:38.220
chaos factor because if everything was going
00:39:40.620
good for Chris we were a big trouble like that
00:39:43.240
I was not going to work for Chris Chris had to
00:39:45.200
be kind of around this process of people and
00:39:49.420
things and stuff but there had to be a
00:39:51.640
controlled like point that we had to get
00:39:56.020
done like I knew that if he wasn't busy
00:39:59.140
like doing stuff he was going to literally
00:40:02.560
be sitting at home playing PlayStation eating
00:40:05.080
Captain Crunch like I knew that's what he's
00:40:07.060
going to do okay so there had to be a
00:40:09.300
process with that that's not a bad thing on
00:40:11.640
Chris it's just how he is how he is yeah okay
00:40:14.220
most people could not figure that out they
00:40:16.620
couldn't micromanage all of those things or
00:40:18.840
whatever you want to put that together they
00:40:20.880
just couldn't do it they forced them to go
00:40:23.420
keto because this is my process and this is
00:40:26.520
how it works and this is how I do everybody
00:40:28.440
and this is how you have to do it that's how I
00:40:31.380
think I was so successful like and I did the
00:40:33.680
same thing with training some people like look I
00:40:36.520
wasn't going to be able to have you know Flex
00:40:39.700
Wheeler trained the way Ronnie Coleman did
00:40:41.920
how many of these guys you trained as well
00:40:43.480
okay a lot of them trained most like did a
00:40:45.940
lot of their stuff on their own but I would
00:40:47.980
like gear like like you know push them in
00:40:51.100
certain directions so if they were doing a
00:40:53.380
certain thing now a lot of things like
00:40:55.060
where Flex had Charles Glass but again we
00:40:57.280
would communicate because I would want to
00:40:59.140
know what Charles Glass was doing because
00:41:00.620
what Charles Glass was doing it depended on
00:41:02.980
what his diet was doing so it you know like
00:41:05.900
listen if they all of a sudden are going
00:41:07.260
high volume I can't do certain things with
00:41:09.940
his diet because they're going heavyweight
00:41:11.760
and high volume how often were you talking
00:41:13.340
to Charles I didn't talk to Charles a lot
00:41:14.760
but I communicated more with Flex like okay
00:41:17.140
this is the direction we're going this week
00:41:19.500
and this is the things that we're doing now
00:41:21.780
me and Charles you know would communicate a
00:41:23.840
little bit yeah but it was mostly through
00:41:25.320
through the athletes and stuff but the same
00:41:27.720
with Chris like I knew Chris you know when he
00:41:29.960
built the physique that he built he built it
00:41:32.300
off of hard work so even though like Chris may
00:41:35.220
not have been the best dieter like you know
00:41:37.800
as far as things and he would you know
00:41:40.140
sometimes you know be out late at night
00:41:41.980
and partying and doing the things that
00:41:43.740
Chris did he still was a hard worker in the
00:41:46.980
gym he pushed a lot of heavyweight that's
00:41:49.020
how he built that physique and so you know I
00:41:51.240
had to make sure that like look that's what
00:41:53.000
we got to do you know when it comes you
00:41:55.440
know contest time like we've got to you
00:41:57.220
know go those directions and stuff and I
00:41:59.060
mean that was part of the success like I
00:42:01.380
didn't ever I never tried to adapt them to
00:42:05.400
me I always tried to adapt to them and
00:42:08.340
apply and you don't think most people do
00:42:10.380
that I don't know anybody does it okay so
00:42:12.140
let me ask you this other question how
00:42:13.140
much of it is genetics how much of it is
00:42:15.960
training how much of it is diet how much
00:42:18.620
of it is drugs so it's the biggest issue
00:42:23.340
is food so I'm telling that number one
00:42:25.620
that's number one so food is without a
00:42:28.800
doubt number one and when you say food
00:42:30.420
what do you mean by food I mean being
00:42:31.980
consistent and that doesn't mean that
00:42:33.840
doesn't mean offseason or contest that's
00:42:37.440
across the board so if you are in the
00:42:40.620
offseason and you're not consistent with
00:42:42.420
food if you're not continuously pushing
00:42:44.220
food and it's probably every it's probably
00:42:45.840
the majority of athletes downfall because
00:42:48.300
they get to offseason and they're like
00:42:49.800
yeah it's offseason like I don't I don't
00:42:52.260
have to eat six meals a day I don't have to
00:42:54.780
quite do if I don't feel like eating I'll
00:42:56.460
just skip a meal and I'll go grab some fast
00:42:58.380
food and these things it's probably the
00:43:00.780
biggest downfall it's hard to eat six
00:43:04.200
seven eight meals a day with high
00:43:07.440
calories so that your body is literally
00:43:09.780
in a calorie surplus all the time every
00:43:13.500
single day it's hard to do it's probably
00:43:16.320
how I end up weaning out more athletes
00:43:18.840
than not because they'll be like I can
00:43:20.700
eat all day I'll never have a problem and
00:43:22.740
five days later like there's no way I can
00:43:24.660
eat all this food it's just tough most
00:43:26.760
people don't realize it that's first though
00:43:28.740
without a doubt hard work and training a
00:43:32.160
second so second without a doubt is
00:43:34.800
training so you have to be able to push
00:43:37.620
yourself you have to be able to put in
00:43:40.440
work and again consistency you have to be
00:43:43.560
able to figure out what works for you you
00:43:45.780
have to be able to go in every single day
00:43:47.940
and push beyond really what the body is
00:43:51.060
capable of push push push mentally third
00:43:54.780
is probably drugs is it it would be
00:43:59.100
ludicrous to say that it's not part of it
00:44:01.560
because at the highest level it is part of
00:44:04.860
it but it's definitely after food and
00:44:07.800
training and then after that is probably
00:44:10.500
genetics is going to fall in between
00:44:12.240
probably training and drugs actually so
00:44:14.940
you don't think genetics more important
00:44:16.320
than food no you really know I don't can
00:44:19.260
I ask you a question on that challenge
00:44:20.580
yeah so here's a question for you
00:44:21.880
competed yeah right okay you when you
00:44:25.140
competed you you know this stuff so you
00:44:28.140
could have applied it for yourself to go
00:44:29.760
to the top right absolutely and I'm and
00:44:31.620
only the only reason I'm asking this is
00:44:32.940
because some guys you know like I'm six
00:44:35.160
four and a half right the chances of me
00:44:37.100
going out there the tallest guy that ever
00:44:38.560
wanted you know who it is right Arnold so
00:44:39.900
right you don't you think like there's a
00:44:41.700
sweet spot there is a genetics to cut
00:44:43.700
there's no doubt you look at some of
00:44:45.460
these guys without a doubt you without a
00:44:47.500
doubt like with me like talking to win
00:44:49.640
I'm not absolutely about to compete yes
00:44:51.120
yeah to win for sure now that's a whole
00:44:53.660
different genetics is first with it's
00:44:56.280
definitely at the top of the of the game
00:44:58.540
because when you're because when you're
00:45:00.020
talking tiny tiny percentages like you're
00:45:03.480
talking like because when you look at
00:45:05.160
the you know you can look at the top
00:45:07.340
group right now so the top three at the
00:45:09.100
Olympia was Brandon you you had
00:45:11.540
Bonac and you had Hottie okay so all
00:45:15.160
three of those guys are phenomenal
00:45:17.360
phenomenal bodybuilders but in reality
00:45:20.460
none of them have the genetics of Phil
00:45:24.540
Heath none of them which is why if Phil
00:45:28.880
Heath is in that group he is a superior
00:45:31.500
athlete without a doubt but when you look
00:45:35.120
at all three of those they all three have
00:45:38.040
phenomenal genetics so there's no way you
00:45:41.220
can say like Brandon Curry has bad
00:45:43.020
genetics William Bonac has bad genetics
00:45:45.860
they all have at the top top of the
00:45:50.480
genetic field but there is always going
00:45:53.980
to be that outlying guy that is a Phil
00:45:58.460
Heath and a Flex Wheeler that is just
00:46:01.460
God-given that there's no hard work that
00:46:05.000
there's no that there is or that there
00:46:06.900
isn't that well there's nothing that can
00:46:08.920
match that okay I got so listen there's
00:46:11.420
like Flex Wheeler yeah I don't care how
00:46:13.860
hard you work I don't care how many
00:46:16.260
things you take I don't care who you have
00:46:18.380
working I'm not gonna look like you're
00:46:19.620
never gonna look like Flex Wheeler yeah
00:46:21.340
ever yeah ever now Flex Wheeler was beat
00:46:24.920
by hard work there was guys that outworked
00:46:28.240
him you know but that wasn't because of you
00:46:31.780
know they were better than Flex that was
00:46:33.900
just because Flex let him let him get
00:46:36.160
him you know you mind educating our
00:46:38.260
audience on anabolic steroids is that
00:46:40.060
okay if we do that let's talk about that
00:46:41.620
okay so we've had people that have been
00:46:43.960
on and they've talked about you know
00:46:45.120
Dorian will talk openly he doesn't really
00:46:47.000
I mean Dorian literally could care less
00:46:48.840
what you're right we'll talk about he'll
00:46:50.000
talk about psychedelics he'll talk about
00:46:51.340
right I know you're just a whole different
00:46:53.100
type of guy when he talks about it but
00:46:55.100
for me you know when it comes on to this
00:46:57.980
topic I think most people are uneducated
00:47:00.520
on it most people don't know first thing
00:47:02.500
they hear about it they automatically
00:47:03.700
there's a red flag and and there's a
00:47:06.280
misunderstanding on it so when it comes
00:47:08.860
on to steroids when it comes on to
00:47:10.420
steroids how do you view anabolic steroids
00:47:14.620
yourself and then we'll go at topics of
00:47:16.480
what each one is and why some people use
00:47:18.280
right I think that steroids is one of
00:47:20.620
those things that gets well especially
00:47:22.900
now okay now it gets a bad rap because
00:47:25.240
of all the social media so the stuff
00:47:28.120
that's out there on social media is crazy
00:47:30.460
and I think that there is so much bad
00:47:33.880
information there's so much like
00:47:35.980
negative put toward it because of all
00:47:39.220
the craziness that goes with it right but
00:47:42.820
if you look at every sport I mean you you
00:47:45.100
know the Olympics is coming up and we're
00:47:46.480
going to see athlete after athlete after
00:47:48.520
athlete failed drug tests there's no
00:47:50.800
doubt and it's beneficial across the
00:47:54.040
board obviously or people wouldn't use it
00:47:56.560
now you know we're not talking about
00:47:58.480
swimmers dying we're not talking about
00:48:00.820
this because I think they use it in a
00:48:03.760
term just to benefit just to enhance just
00:48:07.420
to do those things and it's been around
00:48:10.060
for years so if you even if you look at
00:48:12.320
the back story you know Russia created
00:48:15.100
testosterone literally and basically for
00:48:19.780
the Olympics I mean it was literally
00:48:21.220
created for the Olympics that's what it
00:48:23.020
was then our scientist was like hey
00:48:25.780
listen Russia has testosterone what we
00:48:29.320
need something now but we need something
00:48:31.180
easier and faster so they created
00:48:33.880
diana ball so now our people had diana ball
00:48:37.720
and the original diana ball was very fast
00:48:39.760
it was an oral pill and you know the
00:48:41.780
athletes obviously used it and then all of a
00:48:43.780
sudden it was banned obviously but it was
00:48:46.600
a root that's I mean the whole basis if you
00:48:48.400
look back that far it was literally
00:48:51.160
created from the Olympics like that's
00:48:53.860
literally what it was researched for and
00:48:55.660
created so I think that when you look at
00:48:58.240
it bodybuilding is going to get a bad
00:49:00.340
rap because look we're you know when you
00:49:02.260
look at a swimmer a swimmer isn't 300
00:49:04.420
pounds right there is some baseball
00:49:06.340
players and football players but they
00:49:07.420
don't look like bodybuilders but when
00:49:09.700
you're talking about a muscle enhancing
00:49:11.680
drug and the sport is muscle bodybuilding
00:49:17.140
is for sure going to get the biggest rap
00:49:18.780
on it because they're going to be like
00:49:20.400
these guys are abusing it they're not
00:49:21.940
just taking it to enhance they're
00:49:24.380
they're abusing it and in reality there
00:49:27.320
probably is some people that are doing
00:49:28.560
that but I believe that the majority of
00:49:31.820
people that take it don't abuse it I think
00:49:34.960
that the majority of the people that are
00:49:36.740
on the pro level that are literally at you
00:49:40.380
know at the highest level of this sport are
00:49:43.020
all pretty damn close I don't think
00:49:45.560
they're doing anything more or less I
00:49:47.780
think they are all pretty damn close of
00:49:50.660
where they're at and very damn close of
00:49:52.640
where they're at yeah I mean and that
00:49:54.140
doesn't mean and that's not pointing the
00:49:57.500
finger at whoever they're working with
00:49:58.760
they could be in Kuwait they could be
00:50:00.800
training with somebody over here they
00:50:02.540
could be wherever I believe that nobody
00:50:06.020
is that far outside the thing I may be
00:50:08.840
wrong on that but I that's way I feel I
00:50:10.520
mean I hear I hear different things but
00:50:12.020
again I'm just trying to kind of get
00:50:13.680
educated on this with you here and by
00:50:15.840
the way for full disclosure you are not a
00:50:17.220
doctor I am absolutely not a doctor so
00:50:18.780
this is just something you've been around
00:50:20.640
and you've read about and you've
00:50:22.140
experienced with so okay so why would
00:50:25.200
somebody use these two drugs and obviously
00:50:27.780
you got clambutirol up here and you know
00:50:30.780
what the top one is LASIK so clambutirol is
00:50:32.880
basically a drug use for conditioning so
00:50:35.700
most people use that to get in shape so
00:50:38.760
it's used it has actually a relatively
00:50:42.300
long half-life so most people don't use
00:50:44.700
it for extended periods of time they
00:50:47.000
will use it for a little bit of time I
00:50:48.780
believe the half-life is 36 hours or
00:50:50.580
something which is in you know that type of
00:50:52.620
thing is actually relatively long so
00:50:55.020
they'll use it a couple days and usually go
00:50:57.000
off of it for a couple days but it's
00:50:58.500
basically to burn fat now LASIK is a
00:51:01.500
different one that's a loop diuretic and
00:51:03.420
it's not used obviously for contest prep
00:51:06.720
it's used at the end for basically
00:51:10.320
finishing the look on stage it's
00:51:13.080
probably in my opinion one of the least
00:51:16.800
used drugs in the sport because most
00:51:21.840
people don't realize that how dangerous
00:51:24.420
the product is because the drug was
00:51:26.040
actually named LASIK because it's
00:51:28.860
actually a six-hour diuretic but if you
00:51:31.560
look at it and you read it the half-life
00:51:34.200
is very short on it so most people who
00:51:36.600
have gotten in trouble back and when
00:51:38.700
you've seen guys who actually got in
00:51:40.380
trouble with it was from this drug they
00:51:43.000
got in trouble with it because they
00:51:44.460
would take it and two hours later like
00:51:47.760
they still were holding water so they
00:51:49.560
would take a little more of it and two
00:51:52.260
hours later they were still holding a
00:51:54.300
little water so they would take a little
00:51:55.860
more of it now they have literally 12
00:51:58.800
hours of H basically or more of LASIK
00:52:01.120
pulling pulling them down pulling them
00:52:03.220
down pulling them down and so because
00:52:05.800
of that I believe most people have went
00:52:07.600
away from LASIK just for the simple
00:52:09.580
fact that it's it's relatively dangerous
00:52:12.100
and it's relatively hard to predict on
00:52:16.240
what it's going to do it's not fast
00:52:18.040
enough to use and so because of that
00:52:20.680
which is a good thing I don't think
00:52:21.760
people are using it that much people are
00:52:23.860
not using it I don't think so now
00:52:25.000
clenbuter all the question that I got
00:52:26.620
for you is a lot of these things are not
00:52:28.120
necessarily for bodybuilding but
00:52:30.100
bodybuilders use a clenbuter all is an
00:52:31.540
asthma medication absolutely yeah they
00:52:34.300
use it that the I mean and they also
00:52:35.860
use it there's a product called
00:52:38.260
Ventilum which is also a clenbuter all
00:52:40.480
which is a gel pump that they actually
00:52:42.160
literally pump into cattle feed to to
00:52:46.060
like create bigger leaner cows various
00:52:50.140
so this is used for what bodybuilders use
00:52:53.320
or no what's they used it I mean LASIK's
00:52:55.220
has been around for years like I said
00:52:56.780
it's a loop diuretic I don't think it's
00:52:58.340
being used very much anymore because I
00:53:00.320
think the guys that literally got in
00:53:03.080
trouble with diuretics I think they got
00:53:04.640
in trouble with it from using LASIK's
00:53:06.680
because they didn't understand the
00:53:08.960
diuretic itself what's the side effect of
00:53:10.940
clenbuter any realistically no side
00:53:13.940
effects I mean there is obviously some
00:53:15.560
side effects but very very safe at low
00:53:17.960
dose is that is that similar to would
00:53:20.460
you put the the side effects of an
00:53:22.640
ephedrine compared to a clenbuter like
00:53:25.040
clenbuterol and the old like ephedrine
00:53:27.440
like the E back in the day
00:53:29.900
all that stuff yeah very very
00:53:32.060
similar very similar okay all right
00:53:33.800
sounds good not the same drug obviously
00:53:35.420
I know it's not absolutely it's not okay
00:53:37.280
so let's go through these now these are
00:53:38.460
obviously some of the famous ones that
00:53:39.680
you see and hear about all the time what
00:53:42.500
are they used for and what are the side
00:53:44.780
effects and benefits of each okay so
00:53:46.580
testosterone obviously everybody knows
00:53:48.020
that's you know sippinate there's sippinate
00:53:50.200
enanthate these are slow acting esters so
00:53:52.780
basically when you're talking
00:53:54.640
testosterone you're talking about
00:53:55.780
building up a baseline now bodybuilder
00:53:57.760
what they're looking at doing obviously
00:53:59.560
is creating a stable baseline so again
00:54:03.280
most people take testosterone because
00:54:05.200
they don't understand it so they just
00:54:06.220
keep taking taking taking taking taking
00:54:07.480
you have to realize how it comes in and
00:54:10.660
out of the system so realistically the
00:54:12.880
key is basically just hitting a baseline
00:54:15.200
and keeping it there because it's going to
00:54:17.440
be based off of the level of testosterone
00:54:19.360
within your body this is out in about 72
00:54:22.120
hours so from the time you take it to
00:54:24.940
the time it's out it's going to start
00:54:26.560
decreasing in about 72 hours so it
00:54:29.740
literally could be taken realistically
00:54:32.560
only twice a week and maintain a stable
00:54:35.920
testosterone level which is why most
00:54:38.800
people that are on like they're you know
00:54:41.680
like pro-hormone like 30 yes yes and and
00:54:45.020
stuff like that when they reach 50 and
00:54:47.000
those types of things will go to a slow
00:54:49.280
acting testosterone like siponate and
00:54:51.200
enanthate and at a very low dose you
00:54:53.540
know is very very safe and actually
00:54:56.360
probably not only safe but better for
00:54:58.400
you because as the natural males
00:55:00.680
testosterone drops the body actually
00:55:03.620
tries to counter that and literally then
00:55:06.260
everything else starts to go out of
00:55:07.820
balance but as long as your natural
00:55:09.560
testosterone level stays in line where it
00:55:12.940
normally is especially on a male that
00:55:15.580
you just function better at that point
00:55:17.200
so it's probably safer to have a normal
00:55:21.880
testosterone level normal level perfect
00:55:25.000
thousand and most athletes that have
00:55:27.820
been an athlete all their life function
00:55:30.520
somewhere like at that thousand range now
00:55:33.460
a non-athlete just somebody that's going
00:55:35.620
in there you know whose level probably
00:55:37.780
tested out at 200 will probably feel
00:55:39.880
amazing at 700 at 700 when you say
00:55:43.420
amazing what do you mean by me like
00:55:44.620
just revitalized like you know just
00:55:47.080
feel like you know normal again
00:55:49.120
normal normal okay how about the rest
00:55:50.860
tremolone acetate so that's a fast-acting
00:55:53.020
drug most people take that I say it's
00:55:56.200
actually kind of made a surgeon because
00:55:57.640
most people took that pre-contest it was
00:55:59.620
something that added hardness to the
00:56:01.240
muscle but it is something that it's
00:56:04.180
probably right now the most abused drug
00:56:06.460
in the sport this is that right there yes
00:56:08.380
because of what it does so it makes you
00:56:12.520
strong it makes you aggressive it it's
00:56:16.060
the one drug that's probably the single
00:56:18.620
most abused drug in the sport it cross
00:56:21.040
the board like it I don't care what
00:56:22.960
sport it is could be powerlifting it's
00:56:25.480
probably cross the board cross the
00:56:27.200
so you're saying professional athletes
00:56:28.420
are using this across the board without a
00:56:29.800
doubt and it's fast-acting so it's in and
00:56:31.480
out of the system relatively quick so you
00:56:33.640
can use it is a water-based or oil it's
00:56:35.920
oil-based okay yeah and that's that your
00:56:37.840
system very fast in and out of the
00:56:39.280
system so but it's also now there's other
00:56:41.980
ones so but this is acetate so that's a
00:56:44.260
faster-acting one but it's like I said
00:56:46.720
like it was originally there was a drug
00:56:49.060
called phenogect which is back in the
00:56:50.740
day which is very similar to it but this
00:56:53.440
product is was you know used you know
00:56:56.260
back in the day when people were doing
00:56:57.820
things like normal it was used you know
00:57:00.640
last eight weeks and now it's probably
00:57:03.460
used almost all year I guarantee you
00:57:07.180
there's guys that use it all year
00:57:08.260
guarantee what are the side effects of
00:57:10.400
this that would be anything like blood
00:57:12.880
pressure is gonna be a major issue with
00:57:14.260
trend that's gonna be you're gonna run
00:57:15.760
into liver and kidney issues with that
00:57:17.200
like that's gonna be a harsh drug could
00:57:19.120
that kill it I mean most steroids aren't
00:57:23.080
gonna like kill you like like an opiate would
00:57:26.080
kill you but there's no doubt that long-term
00:57:28.120
effect of that could be a way of your
00:57:30.940
kidney liver stomach it could eat away
00:57:33.400
everything like it could destroy your
00:57:35.320
body high at a high dose and that's the
00:57:37.180
problem with that like that drug is
00:57:40.360
probably more abused than any other drug
00:57:42.280
on the spin in in the sport and it's
00:57:44.740
it's abused at high levels because high
00:57:47.680
what do you mean by high like I mean well
00:57:49.480
for instance I would say that people
00:57:51.040
probably so 75 milligrams is what that
00:57:53.980
is I would say they took that three
00:57:58.000
times a week back in the day so back in
00:58:00.240
the back in the 80s or 90s back in the
00:58:02.080
90s so that would be you know what 225
00:58:05.820
I would say they're doing that every day
00:58:08.980
now 225 a day a day possibly you mean the
00:58:12.240
guys on stage I would say and actually
00:58:14.740
here's the thing that's probably more
00:58:16.300
amateurs than pros so the amateurs are
00:58:19.760
probably abusing all of this stuff way
00:58:21.980
beyond what the pros are because again the
00:58:24.340
pros have phenomenal genetics they have
00:58:26.180
people helping them like I can tell you
00:58:28.340
like I don't care how many people like
00:58:30.020
you can throw every nutritionist under
00:58:32.180
you know under the the bus there isn't
00:58:34.760
anybody gonna like prescribe this like
00:58:37.040
recommend this for you know high dosages
00:58:40.640
year-round like nobody but there are some
00:58:43.580
like gym guys out there that will be
00:58:45.860
because when you take that you feel
00:58:47.540
phenomenal so the more of that shit you
00:58:50.480
take the more you feel phenomenal you
00:58:52.880
start getting strong next thing you know
00:58:54.300
you're benching 500 pounds you're you
00:58:56.040
know you've gained 30 pounds your muscle
00:58:57.600
looks hard and you're like holy shit if
00:58:59.280
200 is good as this just think what a
00:59:01.320
thousand is on this and that's the
00:59:03.120
problem with a lot of the people think
00:59:05.100
how about how about the master on it's
00:59:07.020
like master on phenyproponate is you
00:59:09.840
know something that's taken the last five
00:59:11.340
weeks of the show so it's a hardening
00:59:12.900
drug mainly to add basically hardness to
00:59:15.720
the skin it's literally taken for no
00:59:18.840
more than five weeks no more than five
00:59:20.260
we know how different is that than
00:59:21.840
primobolin it's a similar drug than
00:59:24.640
primobolin there's two different kinds
00:59:27.120
of primobolin too so it would be the
00:59:29.400
effect of it would be very similar to
00:59:32.340
like the old parabolin or primobolin
00:59:36.220
acetate primobolin depo isn't is a
00:59:38.700
slower acting drug which some people do
00:59:41.040
take in pre-contest but most people use
00:59:44.280
that I don't even know if they it's even
00:59:45.660
made anymore but it's it's a little bit
00:59:48.240
different how about the deck I mean you
00:59:50.400
everybody for somebody that doesn't know
00:59:52.080
about stories then they've heard of
00:59:53.200
that like like the original right it's
00:59:55.860
like what Arnold and the boys used it's
00:59:57.900
probably it's it's something that I
01:00:00.600
actually don't like I'm not big on it a
01:00:03.480
lot of people like it because they think
01:00:04.680
it helps their joints think that makes
01:00:09.060
their joints feel I think the side
01:00:10.920
effects of that is it's not like harsh
01:00:13.440
side effects but it's a very slow acting
01:00:15.540
it literally just shuts the body down
01:00:18.000
like your sex drive literally drops to
01:00:19.680
nothing once you're off yeah which you're
01:00:21.540
on it like you're on it yes you got to
01:00:23.640
take so many different things just to
01:00:25.480
keep your body balanced back out like
01:00:27.220
deck it to me is like one of the worst
01:00:29.300
things it's a safe drug as far as like
01:00:31.480
side effects to the body but the way you
01:00:34.140
feel on it like most people that's ever
01:00:36.040
taken it will tell you instantly like I
01:00:38.520
hate the way I feel on it I hate the way
01:00:40.780
I feel absolutely yeah and I think
01:00:42.920
because of that and then and here we come
01:00:45.140
back to this so back in the day that's
01:00:48.440
what they would use they would take a
01:00:49.760
little bit of testosterone a little bit
01:00:51.140
of deck and if you talk to the old guys
01:00:52.580
that's what they'll tell you right they'll
01:00:53.900
tell you like even back in Arnold's day
01:00:55.340
that's what we took right now like they
01:00:58.220
don't go to that like they're like
01:00:59.720
listen I feel like shit on that but I can
01:01:01.980
take trend and feel crazy I'll stick with
01:01:05.480
the trend but it's it's a much harsher
01:01:08.180
harsher on your body we're being pretty
01:01:09.860
open here so no that's like we're like
01:01:12.080
laying it out there but that's it
01:01:13.620
ecu poise is actually very similar to
01:01:17.240
like decades so it's almost they're
01:01:20.660
different drugs but the makeup the the
01:01:22.580
way they respond in the body almost
01:01:23.960
identical I like that one though because
01:01:25.700
it doesn't have a lot of the like you
01:01:28.520
know sex side effects and type thing
01:01:30.260
like decreased you know that how would
01:01:32.780
how would steroids decrease sex you know
01:01:34.280
it will you be surprised so it just
01:01:35.720
literally lowers your libido it deserves
01:01:38.000
there's so many effects that it has like
01:01:39.920
on it but the ecu poise doesn't so
01:01:41.660
people will have a tendency to stay away
01:01:43.940
from deck and go to EQ but it's also a
01:01:46.340
slower acting drug so deck is really
01:01:48.680
slower acting and most people don't use
01:01:50.480
deca because it can be detected for so
01:01:53.780
long so that's why they stay away from
01:01:56.480
here we go so this is the next topic
01:01:58.160
HGH and insulin and insulin yep so this
01:02:01.820
is where the sport changed obviously from
01:02:03.500
like a certain point 96 90s and stuff
01:02:07.460
yeah and so the growth hormone had
01:02:10.160
always been around and I think people
01:02:11.480
were using it but what they didn't
01:02:12.560
realize is how the effect of the two
01:02:14.420
work together simultaneously and
01:02:16.880
basically the the insulin and it and the
01:02:20.720
insulin kind of had like when it first
01:02:22.400
came out I think they that people
01:02:24.260
overdid it you know honestly I do and I
01:02:27.080
think like you know me and even a couple
01:02:29.300
other you know people were kind of the
01:02:30.920
first ones that was like listen if you
01:02:32.360
take the insulin every single day it
01:02:34.820
stops working like literally and you
01:02:36.980
know there was people I was like
01:02:38.120
listen you know how long have you
01:02:39.440
taken that and they'd be like loud you
01:02:40.940
know I've been doing it now for three
01:02:42.620
months and I'm like how much are you
01:02:43.640
taking they're like 15 units a day I'm
01:02:45.860
like I'll tell you what take the 15
01:02:47.660
units and don't eat don't eat any carbs
01:02:50.000
like holy shit I'll crash and I'm like
01:02:51.140
I'm telling you you won't you won't
01:02:53.300
crash and they would call me back and
01:02:54.980
they're like holy shit like I took the
01:02:56.420
15 units I didn't crash I'm like
01:02:58.040
exactly because your body now is used to
01:02:59.960
it like your body is literally
01:03:01.400
limiting what the natural production is
01:03:04.400
and so I think a lot of people the
01:03:08.120
nutritionists like that knew what they
01:03:10.520
were doing literally kind of curtailed
01:03:13.940
that a little bit and took a lot of the
01:03:16.400
people away now I say that I've seen
01:03:18.980
like some like really crazy like
01:03:21.980
resurgence of insulin over the last like
01:03:24.900
six months so but up until this point it
01:03:27.680
has been very very limited it was used
01:03:30.020
very like once or twice a week it was
01:03:33.440
used maybe a couple times after training
01:03:35.300
you know a week or something like that
01:03:36.800
just to make sure that everything was
01:03:38.600
completely loaded completely you know
01:03:41.420
like the body was functioning at a
01:03:42.800
hundred percent but they weren't like
01:03:45.020
abusing it trying to force glycogen
01:03:47.400
non-stop basically trying to upload
01:03:50.060
everything they weren't but now there has
01:03:54.860
been a little bit of an like like the
01:03:57.060
protocols that are out there that seem to
01:03:58.880
be floating around bad right now they're
01:04:00.780
like really bad what's the biggest
01:04:02.060
difference between the side effects of
01:04:03.060
HGH and insulin versus steroids
01:04:05.060
anabolics the totally two separate you
01:04:09.260
know things I mean obviously steroids are
01:04:11.240
all based really based off of testosterone
01:04:13.640
and those types of things where growth
01:04:15.940
hormone is is basically you're based off
01:04:17.960
your growth hormone levels and and insulin
01:04:20.280
is obviously you know based off of
01:04:22.820
insulin levels so they all have a
01:04:24.500
different functioning purpose within the
01:04:26.600
body now obviously all three together are
01:04:29.540
a very powerful combination combination and
01:04:32.180
and realistically maybe one of the most
01:04:33.880
powerful ones is insulin is when you're
01:04:36.880
looking at you know the hormone make it
01:04:38.800
it could be the most powerful hormone
01:04:40.640
within the body but it doesn't do
01:04:44.080
legitimately what you think it's going to
01:04:46.600
do and I think a lot of people when they
01:04:49.540
first were was introduced to it they
01:04:51.400
thought like holy shit I'm gonna do all
01:04:53.080
these things and I'm gonna look like
01:04:54.460
Nasser Elson body or I'm gonna look like
01:04:56.620
and that's not gonna have no it's not
01:04:58.360
gonna happen like they can take insulin
01:04:59.860
all day long most most of the people that I
01:05:02.140
see that take high doses of insulin just
01:05:04.300
get fat just get fat they just get fat
01:05:06.760
yeah you hear about these your thoughts
01:05:10.420
on this so I hate this stuff like all of
01:05:13.480
the synthol and this stuff there are some
01:05:17.380
people I think most people hate it like I
01:05:19.420
can tell you it's the one thing that I
01:05:21.100
hate within the sport I can honestly say
01:05:25.600
like I've never ever like it you know like
01:05:29.620
encouraged an athlete of mine to take
01:05:31.480
it I've had two athletes of mine use it
01:05:35.320
and it was literally kind of against my
01:05:38.380
you know that I don't like it I think
01:05:41.260
that it is one of those things that we
01:05:43.960
literally have no idea what it is and
01:05:46.900
everybody's like you know it's you know
01:05:49.480
you put it in the muscle it stays in the
01:05:50.740
muscle there's no chance it could stay in
01:05:52.180
the muscle I don't care how much of it
01:05:53.860
you pump into the muscle there's no
01:05:55.900
chance it has to end up somewhere and
01:05:58.060
those places have to be brain lung heart
01:06:00.820
so a percentage of that has to come out
01:06:03.280
of the muscle it the way it basically like
01:06:06.340
hardens if it doesn't clear out of the
01:06:08.800
system it's going to end up there it's
01:06:10.420
going to end up almost like cholesterol
01:06:13.300
like so if you've seen an artery that is
01:06:15.580
filled with cholesterol my thinking is how is
01:06:18.760
this not binding to it how is this not
01:06:20.980
binding to cholesterol and a lot of
01:06:23.140
people think I'm nuts you know I know
01:06:24.520
Dave Palumbo is a big very you know like
01:06:27.280
he's very proactive on this and and but
01:06:30.100
he sells it also too and it's it's not
01:06:32.380
illegal in any way shape or form but I'm
01:06:35.080
just one of these guys that thinks that
01:06:37.600
it is not a positive for our sport this
01:06:40.180
kill you I think a hundred percent kill
01:06:42.160
you is there is there stories of it that
01:06:43.960
happening or no you know I mean in the
01:06:45.820
world of bodybuilder they're they're not
01:06:48.100
necessarily I mean there's a lot of
01:06:49.600
stories where people have had trouble
01:06:51.220
with it I know of a guy that literally
01:06:54.340
had open-heart surgery from Chicago that
01:06:56.740
took it and when they opened him up he
01:06:58.480
they literally had that shit everywhere
01:07:00.280
like it was everywhere so they're you
01:07:04.300
know why is it so popular people like is
01:07:06.340
it is it to to get it without doing the
01:07:08.260
work I mean even some of your guys that
01:07:09.760
did it they're well-known bodybuilders
01:07:11.140
they do some of sure there's a lot of
01:07:12.520
yeah and that's the thing I mean I think a
01:07:13.960
lot of people have done it I think a lot
01:07:15.880
of well-known people have done it Mr.
01:07:17.380
Olympia says they frown upon it but they
01:07:19.840
know some people are using it they don't
01:07:21.460
disqualify or do anything with it here's
01:07:22.780
the thing I think that the key is there
01:07:26.020
has been you know like there has been
01:07:28.360
some guys that have done it that you
01:07:31.660
either couldn't tell or at least it
01:07:33.160
looked really well they did it really
01:07:35.560
really well I think those are far and few
01:07:38.020
between okay I think that there's very few
01:07:40.000
guys that can do and last but not least
01:07:41.380
this is simple this is you obviously
01:07:43.300
know what this is so those are all like
01:07:45.400
estrogen blockers those are probably two
01:07:47.260
of the most common ones there's another
01:07:48.940
one that probably everybody uses which
01:07:50.260
is aromasin which is another one but
01:07:53.320
it's very expensive these are obviously
01:07:55.360
used because as you take more and more
01:07:57.700
testosterone your estrogen level will
01:07:59.740
then start to crank up obviously you
01:08:02.140
need a certain balance of estrogen with
01:08:05.880
you do need a certain you do so you don't
01:08:07.840
want to limit all of your estrogen within
01:08:09.660
the body but you want to keep it at
01:08:11.400
you know under control so what ends up
01:08:13.620
happening is the higher estrogen levels
01:08:15.480
you end up with and everybody's sort of
01:08:16.800
like the gyno and those types of things
01:08:18.660
so those are the extremes in the same
01:08:20.100
family right Novodex is the same in the
01:08:22.260
same family and Novodex is tricky
01:08:24.960
because Novodex you if you take that for
01:08:27.900
an extended period of time that will
01:08:29.220
actually decrease your estrogen they will
01:08:32.140
also decrease your growth hormone level so
01:08:34.320
you have to kind of counter some of those
01:08:36.660
things and two most people that take
01:08:39.000
estrogen blockers will take those for
01:08:40.680
short periods of time and Novodex
01:08:42.540
literally nobody takes it at least to my
01:08:44.700
knowledge for any longer than five weeks
01:08:46.260
nobody takes it for longer than five
01:08:47.720
weeks now okay and is that off coming
01:08:49.980
off a cycle like you're you're getting off
01:08:51.660
of it the it depends like they can use it
01:08:55.020
coming off a cycle but I think a lot of
01:08:56.520
people will use it like mid-cycle or you
01:08:59.580
know whatever even in the offseason just
01:09:01.380
to control estrogen levels because obviously
01:09:04.120
you know you don't want high estrogen
01:09:06.280
levels could create a lot of serious
01:09:07.740
issues with them within the body the
01:09:09.620
gyno is like the extreme but just even
01:09:12.220
like having a high level of estrogen
01:09:14.260
like you can tell like the way the skin
01:09:16.120
looks like yellow or well and just even
01:09:18.640
like how much water you hold I see what
01:09:20.460
you're saying stuff too so so let me ask
01:09:22.120
you this a somebody who has no desire to
01:09:25.000
compete they're not going to be a
01:09:26.920
bodybuilder they're just a 29 year old
01:09:29.320
guys watching this saying you know what I
01:09:31.460
I want to go use stuff there is different
01:09:34.520
conversations here about the usage of
01:09:36.440
steroids and then there is when you said
01:09:38.700
the guy about 45 55 you know he goes to
01:09:41.960
the doctor is low 180 or 120 what do I do
01:09:44.660
doctor says you may consider TRT right you
01:09:46.700
know something like that what is your
01:09:48.560
counsel you give to somebody that has
01:09:50.740
zero plans of being a professional
01:09:52.460
athlete using under 50 versus the person
01:09:56.080
above 50 so my here's my thinking so I
01:09:59.120
I tell everybody like obviously the
01:10:01.820
choice is yours like you're gonna have
01:10:03.080
to make the Detroit you know the
01:10:04.220
decision sure but if you have zero
01:10:06.260
interest zero interest in competing I
01:10:10.400
would think long and hard before using
01:10:13.160
anything so don't touch it no I don't
01:10:14.780
because my thinking is why are you gonna
01:10:16.700
take it like like now when you get into
01:10:19.280
that 40 range and your level is literally
01:10:21.380
coming down without a doubt like I think
01:10:24.020
that you're crazy not to take it because I
01:10:26.060
think that the benefit literally outweighs
01:10:29.160
the risk like with a hundred percent like
01:10:31.760
a hundred percent but the guy that's
01:10:34.220
wanting to just literally walk around and
01:10:36.260
look like a freak in a t-shirt for no
01:10:38.480
other reason than looking like a freak
01:10:40.640
there's a lot of stuff that's over the
01:10:42.560
counter that can literally benefit you
01:10:45.140
such as I mean there's a lot of pro
01:10:47.180
hormones and we don't even have like
01:10:48.620
great pro hormones anymore because most of
01:10:50.600
them are illegal but there's still like a lot
01:10:52.700
of you know I mean like there's some
01:10:54.500
stuff that pushes the envelope a little
01:10:56.300
bit that would that would benefit you
01:10:59.060
legally legally so yeah are you talking
01:11:01.340
like back in the days when now back in
01:11:02.900
the day the pro hormones then all of that
01:11:05.840
stuff like would be great you know and and
01:11:09.500
now there's still a few I know high tech
01:11:11.300
has a few I know Blackstone has a few and
01:11:13.800
they're legitimate like products that
01:11:16.280
literally work and like to me like if
01:11:20.540
you're not planning on competing if you
01:11:22.580
don't have a goal at the end like if
01:11:25.160
there's not a reason like why are you
01:11:27.440
doing it like it makes my number one
01:11:29.240
that's my number one if you're not
01:11:31.040
trying to compete if you're not trying
01:11:33.740
to you know go out there and do
01:11:35.540
something with it there's no reason to
01:11:37.520
do there's plenty of supplements to be
01:11:38.780
able to train with and I like what
01:11:40.100
Brandon Curry says first get the training
01:11:41.840
that get the diet absolutely and then
01:11:43.520
consider that we're talking about this
01:11:45.040
because of the the reason why you are
01:11:47.840
here after the response we got with Sean and
01:11:50.340
we're getting a little bit deeper on
01:11:51.300
this topic so now let's go to the last
01:11:53.040
part of what he said in the video where
01:11:56.460
he says you know this person's life for
01:11:58.680
you know that person is this person right
01:12:00.300
so obviously these are some names here
01:12:02.100
we'll go through them together you
01:12:03.180
obviously know who these are right
01:12:04.580
Munzer you know El Somebody Matarazzo
01:12:07.800
and then we have some other guys you
01:12:10.020
will get to here in a minute so you
01:12:11.640
know when you look at this what was the
01:12:13.140
cause of death with what was this
01:12:15.060
controlled by it or we don't know so
01:12:17.100
with Matarazzo and like one of my best
01:12:19.380
friends was best friends with him so
01:12:20.760
one of my best friends Mel Chansey was
01:12:23.040
very very good friends with him I've
01:12:24.420
heard nothing but good things about him
01:12:25.800
Matarazzo yeah phenomenal yeah one of the
01:12:28.020
greatest guys on this like phenomenal
01:12:30.540
personality like on just a phenomenal guy
01:12:34.680
phenomenal guy realistically I believe that
01:12:38.160
he was like hereditary like I think that
01:12:41.580
his father died at a relatively young age of
01:12:44.580
heart issues like can can you say like did
01:12:48.240
did the things that he did maybe escalated
01:12:51.000
possibly like possibly but I mean I don't
01:12:55.020
think that there was anything like he
01:12:56.940
wasn't like terminal because of bodybuilding I
01:13:00.420
think that there's no doubt like some of the
01:13:02.460
choices he made without a doubt could have you
01:13:05.040
know changed the the process but I think that I
01:13:08.800
think he died of cardiac arrest if I'm not
01:13:10.800
mistaken and I think it was a hereditary issue
01:13:14.180
else somebody because Sean put that on you
01:13:16.680
put that one on me right so here's the thing
01:13:18.240
with with Nasr so Nasr was probably one of my
01:13:22.260
best friends within the industry so he me and
01:13:24.400
him were together a lot I talked to him
01:13:26.460
probably more than any other bodybuilder ever
01:13:30.180
that I'd worked with so me and Nasr were very very
01:13:33.300
close my relationship was not with Nasr was very
01:13:36.720
unique because most of my guys I was a hundred
01:13:41.160
percent in control of a hundred percent in
01:13:43.560
control but Nasr was a little bit different so
01:13:46.440
if anybody that knew Nasr he was a very very
01:13:49.600
intelligent man spoke seven different
01:13:51.560
languages like he was a very smart human
01:13:54.220
being and so my role with him was literally
01:13:57.960
more advisory maybe I guess you'd say or
01:14:02.040
friend like you know whatever and so you
01:14:05.180
know literally the shows that I would work
01:14:07.280
with him I worked with him for yeah 97
01:14:10.180
Olympia 98 Olympia 99 Arnold okay so those
01:14:13.340
were the main shows that I worked with him
01:14:14.720
in and I didn't literally take over all of
01:14:18.680
his stuff until the last week so I would
01:14:20.180
control definitely all of his like final
01:14:22.940
prep stuff but the rest of the stuff was you
01:14:26.020
know at this point you know by the time he
01:14:27.800
got there like he was big like he was like I
01:14:30.300
didn't need to be like hey listen this is the
01:14:32.940
way you need to train or this is what you
01:14:35.800
need to do he would you know send me
01:14:38.580
pictures and be like how close am I and
01:14:40.260
I'm like dude you're behind like we need
01:14:41.760
to we need to drop the hammer like we need
01:14:43.740
to crank things up like that was where the
01:14:46.140
things were he would ask me like hey I'm
01:14:47.760
getting I'm thinking about adding this in
01:14:49.540
I'd be like yeah that's probably a good
01:14:51.120
idea or no that's you don't need that yet or
01:14:53.220
those types of things but there was never
01:14:56.220
like this is what you do right here this is
01:15:00.440
what you follow now the thing with Nasser
01:15:03.680
is like this is the thing that's
01:15:05.180
interesting about Nasser so again like he
01:15:08.420
literally puts that one on me right so but
01:15:11.360
literally I didn't train him after 99 and he
01:15:14.540
died 14 years later like I'm not really
01:15:18.980
sure how like okay I'm not even sure how you
01:15:22.220
even go down that road like it's so idiotic like I
01:15:27.140
mean like he could have lived 20 more years and
01:15:29.180
then you're like yeah that was still in
01:15:30.560
your life yeah months or obviously you
01:15:32.180
hadn't you never did it monster but it's
01:15:33.740
interesting I talked to Munster the year
01:15:36.620
he died and so he he was a very unique
01:15:41.600
individual he was a super nice guy didn't
01:15:43.580
speak really good English so it was like
01:15:45.680
tough to speak it was tough to to
01:15:47.480
communicate with him and we were you know
01:15:50.240
we were talking about some stuff and then
01:15:51.920
we were talking about a certain thing that
01:15:53.940
he was using and then he mentioned another
01:15:57.380
it was a cortisol blocker that he was talking about and and then he mentioned
01:16:01.340
another cortisol blocker it was it was a it was the weirdest conversation I'll
01:16:05.480
never forget it and I'm like I said you realize those are the same thing and he's
01:16:09.800
like no they're different and I'm like no I said this is the American version
01:16:13.760
this is a European version and he was double dip yeah and so he was double
01:16:17.720
dipping on those now those are notorious for eating up like your stuff
01:16:22.100
they're really hard on the stomach like even at a moderate to low dose and and he
01:16:26.940
was doing a humongous dose of it now I'm not saying that's what had anything to do
01:16:30.980
with it but the conversation that I had was very liked so weird because I
01:16:36.080
remember going up to Kim and being like man these guys don't even know what they're
01:16:39.560
doing like they were talking about this and like the same thing like what the
01:16:42.740
hell is going on and then literally we get home from the Arnold that year and
01:16:46.920
there and then he had died on the plane or at least coming you know over there
01:16:50.780
and he was like an anatomy chart like after your call well no I just
01:16:55.280
literally talked to him and it was a very brief like like it was at the show we
01:16:58.940
were talking about stuff and I mean he was actually commenting on Kim's
01:17:03.480
physique like he was like yeah he was like being like I'd never seen a you know a
01:17:07.160
female's quads that lean that are done we're like you gotta be kidding me like
01:17:09.740
look at your quads okay let's uh let's just go to uh let's go to Dallas Dallas
01:17:16.220
kind of so obviously that's the controversial one that you care about
01:17:19.100
what happened for sure so for sure there's a there's a the dialogue
01:17:22.280
between Dallas and Shawn when they go backstage you know that whole thing I've
01:17:25.340
been thrown right right and what's your relationship with Dallas because
01:17:29.540
that's the biggest one he puts on the biggest one right so here's the thing
01:17:32.540
with Dallas so I worked with Dallas for three months that was it I only worked with
01:17:36.680
him for one show I met with him in November at nationals and I prepped him
01:17:42.300
for the Arnold but I became very close with Dallas during that time and you know
01:17:46.820
Dallas was one of these guys that was just a likable like there's no way you
01:17:51.500
couldn't like Dallas like he was probably one of the most genuine nicest people I
01:17:56.560
had ever met in my life he was super honest about everything like there was so
01:18:02.180
many things that would like so I never literally second-guessed him about
01:18:06.640
anything because the things he told me like I would have like never dreamed that
01:18:11.520
he would have told me honestly like you know he told me you know things just from
01:18:15.380
way back way back and there was you know the thing that I probably one of the
01:18:20.560
toughest things for me is like when I when I think back through all the stuff
01:18:24.380
like there was signs right from the get-go like when we first literally the very
01:18:28.400
first week of the diet so we started we literally kind of started like the
01:18:31.460
beginning of December and so we had talked in nationals which is the middle
01:18:35.220
of November and then we started in December so I only literally worked with
01:18:38.420
him for three months he worked with another guy for two years before that and
01:18:42.980
another guy before that and then the guy two years before me ended up working
01:18:46.040
with when he died but the very first week like he calls me is like listen I'm
01:18:51.180
throwing up and I'm like like well that's not I said are you you feel okay and he's
01:18:55.640
like yeah he goes you know I do that a lot he goes I've done it all my life I
01:18:58.400
got like a weird stomach but he's like I didn't know whether I should like
01:19:01.340
replace the meal or not and so I'm thinking like wait a minute like what
01:19:05.660
do you mean you did that your whole life and he's like well I've thrown up my
01:19:08.240
whole life like I had a weird stomach like I literally throw up like I threw up
01:19:12.500
before every football game I've thrown up like before every contest like every
01:19:16.280
contest diet I've ever had I threw up so I'm like I said listen like don't you
01:19:23.000
let's just see how this plays out because you may be sick like you may have
01:19:25.700
the stomach flu or something so the week goes on and he seems fine and then
01:19:29.420
Thursday throws up again so I'm like okay listen this ain't normal like you
01:19:33.860
don't just throw up you're like literally 25 years old or something I'm
01:19:36.620
like go to the like urgent care like I want you to go to urgent care like you're
01:19:42.860
throwing up now this is a week two weeks into your relationship 90 days this is a
01:19:46.880
week into the relationship right and so he comes back and he's like yeah they
01:19:52.160
think that I may have bronchitis and the drainage is like coming you know drown
01:19:57.680
this man it's making me throw up and I'm like well how do you feel and he goes I
01:20:01.460
feel great but he goes listen I get bronchitis all the time he goes I've had
01:20:04.400
pneumonia ten times in my life and I'm like what I go you've had pneumonia ten
01:20:10.340
times in your life he's like yeah he goes I oh I literally like always get it and
01:20:14.360
he kind of blamed it like like and he was very open about this I have no problem
01:20:17.720
talking but he's like yeah I smoke weeds from the time I was 12 years old he goes I
01:20:20.820
probably smoke more weed than anybody he goes I kind of cough and I have
01:20:23.620
drainage and that's kind of what it kind of leads to and I'm like okay I
01:20:27.720
mean it sounded pneumonia from weed no but if he was saying he gets pneumonia
01:20:31.620
and I was trying to say the coughing so the coughing the drainage I mean it's
01:20:35.600
like you know he's like a restricted breathing and then he ends up with like
01:20:38.580
bronchitis and then pneumonia and so I'm kind of thinking like yeah you know I
01:20:42.600
get the coughing like the pneumonia thing sounds a little weird like I don't
01:20:46.100
know let's see how you feel I said you want to rest for a couple days let's see how you
01:20:49.740
feel weekend goes by feels fine a couple weeks go by is back throwing up again
01:20:53.460
and I'm like dude this is not normal like you shouldn't be throwing up and he's
01:20:58.980
like Chad I'm telling you I throw up all the time like I literally that I've done
01:21:05.640
it my entire life and that's the one thing thinking back like I'm like you know
01:21:12.420
like where where was that head like how in the hell like where was that head you
01:21:16.200
know and so we go through the process like through the whole process I can tell
01:21:20.520
like something's off like his body is not really responding like I thought it
01:21:24.840
would it didn't you know and then and like I don't know if people even believe
01:21:31.260
this but like based off of what he had been doing we literally did half of that
01:21:36.360
what he had been doing so a lot of this stuff so I'm saying you're doing half of
01:21:40.860
what he was doing half of what he was doing so my thinking was like holy shit
01:21:45.000
like maybe like his body's not responding well like maybe it's not
01:21:49.320
because we pulled back so far right but then all of a sudden his body kind of
01:21:55.560
started to come around and everything started look halfway decent so we just
01:21:59.820
you know and then he actually kind of started feeling better everything kind of
01:22:03.600
seems like right on target we go and we're literally planning on going into
01:22:08.700
Pittsburgh to meet with Mannion let him look at him take a look at him posing
01:22:12.900
just critique posing all these little things we're sitting there and he starts
01:22:18.300
throwing up again like with the stuff and so I'm like okay like dude like how like
01:22:24.780
this is not normal you shouldn't be vomiting all the time and he's like Chad
01:22:30.480
listen like this is just my life like this is what I do like I vomit I have a
01:22:35.580
weak stomach like I this goes all the way back to football like it goes all the
01:22:39.900
way back to football and so I'm like okay so we go through the process through
01:22:44.760
this whole process I can tell like something's clearly off his body didn't
01:22:49.500
respond well like nothing's really responding well so and so we start
01:22:54.240
talking and we start talking about like just personal things like you know and so
01:22:58.800
he had moved away from his hometown he went to Boca to be part of the
01:23:02.980
company that he was with and everything and so we literally and this is after
01:23:06.820
the Arnold so he ends up second you know he goes to New Zealand which I
01:23:09.940
literally didn't even want him to go to because I thought he was sick in at the
01:23:14.440
Arnold like he was like hocking up shit like I literally said listen don't go but
01:23:19.420
he had already like signed contracts like he was already committed he's like I
01:23:22.960
have to go I already signed a contract and I'm like listen just go to the doctor
01:23:27.200
and you know get it he's like nah I'm gonna go so we so we go there and then and then of
01:23:32.080
course he's super sick in Australia almost passes out on stage like we
01:23:36.040
literally like literally two hours before that we were literally talking on
01:23:40.300
the phone I'm like don't do the show like I don't want you to do the show and
01:23:43.240
he's like I'm gonna take a nap and we'll see how I feel two hours later calls me
01:23:47.920
back man I feel phenomenal I feel great you know and I'm like are you sure and
01:23:51.640
he's like I feel phenomenal like I just needed a nap I think it was a flight wore me
01:23:55.360
out then of course he goes on stage damn near passes out so then he you know he
01:23:59.860
comes back home and so through this whole process I'm like listen something's
01:24:04.120
off like I think that you're unhappy like listen I don't think that I think you left
01:24:11.140
your home I think you moved to Boca you don't know people there you're in a
01:24:14.980
you're staying in an apartment by yourself like like you're doing all this stuff
01:24:19.300
that's like not making you happy like it's not making you happy I'm like you
01:24:24.220
need to get out of there get completely out of there go back home and at the time he didn't have a good
01:24:29.700
relationship with his family but he was trying to mend that and I go go back home
01:24:34.860
like you know create this bond with your family that you're trying to do do do all
01:24:39.300
of these types of things and I said I said I said we don't even need to work
01:24:44.820
together I said go back home and his coach was in his hometown I go go back
01:24:50.220
with him I said because I think that friendship stabilized you like I think it
01:24:55.800
stabilized you I think you were happier within that environment I think a lot
01:25:00.960
of your friends and and Jim people were there and he was like you know like
01:25:06.600
that's I think that's what I'm gonna do and so that's where we kind of left
01:25:11.520
things like we kind of left things me looking back on that now I'm like was
01:25:15.960
that the right decision like was like was me just kind of saying go back home
01:25:22.300
like go into that thing because it was literally right after that that they
01:25:27.300
started posting up pictures and I could tell instantly something was wrong like
01:25:32.140
instantly and then I became like in this like tug-of-war with myself like okay do I
01:25:37.920
call up him and say dude what the hell are you guys doing like something looks off
01:25:44.680
here and then like am I butting in on this because I'm not working anymore I'm not
01:25:50.740
the coach and like it's kind of an un you know like written rule like you
01:25:54.300
don't interfere with other people's stuff but I felt like man something's off
01:25:58.360
like I knew it and then the last picture he posted I'll never forget this Dan
01:26:02.440
Solomon called me and he's like have you seen the picture of Dallas and I'm like
01:26:05.080
I'm like I have I said he doesn't look good and and I said he literally looks
01:26:10.480
like he's getting ready to drop dead I said and and Dan Solomon says I dude I
01:26:15.400
just saw him and he looks like he's walking death and I said that's what he looks like in
01:26:20.720
the picture I said he's gray I said his skin looks funky like he's in the
01:26:25.400
hospital he said no no no he just they're just posting up progress pictures
01:26:28.720
online and and I'm like I said he doesn't look good like like he just
01:26:34.120
looked unhealthy and two days later he died like and that's the story like you
01:26:40.680
know I didn't you know like I wasn't training him during the time I trained him
01:26:44.540
for three months I didn't training for the next four months or whatever from the
01:26:48.960
time he died I have no idea what they did I have no idea what he was doing it's
01:26:53.340
an unfortunate story because he uh you know you again in stories like this you
01:26:58.260
get a lot of different versions of it on what happens but he was a guy that was a
01:27:02.580
liked guy that was coming up the most liked guy yeah that's that's like I'm
01:27:06.280
telling you like he was if not the most liked guy like I mean I'm telling you like
01:27:10.800
you were never gonna find anybody that had anything negative to say let me ask you
01:27:15.640
about it there's a there's an article online that says the supposed Dallas
01:27:20.800
McCarver anabolic cycle from Chad Nichols right and all of the stuff here that it's
01:27:24.700
got you know I mean the list is it's not I tell you first of all that's not I can
01:27:29.880
tell you I've already seen it I it was sent to me I can tell you exactly what it
01:27:32.920
is if you want me to tell you yeah absolutely this is not his cycle this is a
01:27:38.440
drug list that him and his coach ordered that's the list they ordered that's it
01:27:44.080
that's a drug list that's a drug order list but that's not you this has nothing to do
01:27:49.540
with okay so I can tell you that with this is pre you or this is after me I believe this
01:27:54.380
is either pre me or after me but this has nothing to do with me and Dallas at all like
01:28:01.460
yeah that's something that's a lot of ridiculous amount but this supposedly what I was told is a
01:28:07.020
shopping list for him and one other person that's what I was told and I was told that
01:28:13.420
from the literally the person they ordered it from so it's a legitimate like like it's a legitimate
01:28:19.580
guy that told me so it's a legitimate guy that told you but this has got this part has nothing to do
01:28:26.720
with you ordering with them this ain't got anything to do okay like this literally like I can tell you
01:28:31.040
by like there's so much stuff on this because I believe this is the one because I've seen two
01:28:34.820
but this is the one with EPO on it yeah and it's it's weird because that drug right there
01:28:40.520
um I can promise you like he didn't use with me but he asked me about that drug and it's weird
01:28:47.820
because I didn't even think anything about it but we were at the Arnold and he said listen we're just
01:28:54.460
bullshitting and he goes listen he goes I've heard people use EPO and I'm like yeah I go listen
01:29:01.140
I I know of maybe three people that could have benefited or it has benefited from EPO
01:29:06.360
I said very few people because it's a drug that literally like endurance people use right
01:29:12.240
doesn't really play a factor with bodybuilders there are some very rare rare instances that possibly
01:29:20.900
and he's like and then he asked me this question I'll never forget this and uh and this was before
01:29:26.080
I've ever seen this list he asked me well how long do they stay on that and I'm like
01:29:30.220
five weeks max and he's like really he goes have you ever heard of anybody staying on longer than
01:29:35.600
that and I'm like um yes cyclists like cyclists he goes bodybuilders and I'm like no and he goes
01:29:41.080
so nobody like six months a year and I'm like I go that would be I go dude I don't he's asking
01:29:46.980
he's asking me that question and I said no I said that would be friggin idiotic like I said
01:29:52.560
you get a sense that he asked you because he had done for six months so I didn't have any idea I
01:29:56.880
didn't have any idea what he was asking me but then when I saw this then I saw the EPO on it and
01:30:04.560
that's when I was like holy shit like what was he asking about like and then it was and then I had
01:30:11.000
already seen this list and it wasn't until after the list um that somebody told me like well you know
01:30:19.460
what that list is that's a that's an order list you know and if you know anybody involved with this
01:30:26.380
list there's a couple things on the list that points right to who the list is so who it came
01:30:31.840
from yes okay and your world would know who that is my world would 100% know who that is and they
01:30:38.060
would 100% know that has nothing to do with me okay so so let me let me ask you this the reason
01:30:42.640
why I'm going in this direction is the following is uh I'm a fan of the sport at this point of the game
01:30:48.260
you know I'm a fan of the sport I showed you a picture earlier what I looked like when I was 20
01:30:51.640
years old I wanted which was amazing by the way I mean I was crazy yeah I wanted to go in the world
01:30:55.580
in the direction of being a body with and in one minute I'm like no I'm leaving it so with the
01:31:01.180
current state of where Mr. Olympia is with no Joe Weider there's not a Weider right there's not somebody
01:31:06.920
that's selling it pitching it's you know from the top and with the current social media conditions
01:31:12.540
where something like this wouldn't be around 1994 someone's not going to write an article like this
01:31:17.100
and say hey look what you right someone's not going to be online saying hey Chad hey
01:31:20.300
that's not the world we're in today not today 25 years ago right so today where everybody is quick
01:31:27.500
to jump and say I can't believe what happened there what do you foresee taking place with the
01:31:32.220
future of Mr. Olympia today in bodybuilding and what do you think needs to happen for it to become
01:31:36.980
mainstream rather than a niche small community sport of don't bring too much attention a little bit
01:31:42.780
it's good we can make money but let's not bring a lot of attention to it um I think the direction
01:31:47.160
that we're headed right now is positive like literally positive and there's a couple things
01:31:52.440
like the the direction that the Olympia went last year now people are going to rip the shit out of
01:31:57.820
the Olympia last year because there wasn't a like a defending champ there wasn't big names in it and so
01:32:03.540
you know I I honestly feel sorry for Brandon Curry a little bit because you know he was in a no-win
01:32:09.000
situation like him Boanac Hottie like listen any three of those guys could have won and they all
01:32:16.140
three are going to go through what kind of Brandon is going through a little bit right now and they're
01:32:21.160
all going to be like well of course he won because he didn't beat anyone there was nobody in it
01:32:24.780
Boanac wins he goes through the same thing like they all do it but at the end of the day Brandon
01:32:28.780
Curry earned the right to be Mr. Olympia he he showed up he battled like I personally don't think
01:32:34.040
he should have won like I I thought Hottie should have won like because I was so he was third I
01:32:39.420
loved Hottie's physique because I'm a guy that's big on conditioning I like conditioning um I like
01:32:45.680
I thought to me like when you look at structure muscularity and conditioning in comparison to all
01:32:52.560
three I thought Hattie Hattie had more of of that but I also could see how Boanac could have won
01:32:58.840
and I can 100% see how Curry did win so I thought it was that close I thought it was literally there
01:33:05.780
just wasn't that one guy that just was like oh shit this guy it's over type of thing so that being
01:33:12.920
said but the direction that the Olympia has gone turning over to Dan Solomon who everybody knows a
01:33:19.360
good friend of mine but I know the direction he wants to take things and if you look at all the
01:33:24.100
stuff that he's doing right now um he's brought Shaq on board and they're doing a lot of promotional
01:33:29.040
stuff and they're doing a lot of things you're going to see big names in the show this year so
01:33:33.100
there it's going to have heavy hitters in this you're talking about Flex Lewis or who are you
01:33:36.800
talking about you got Flex Lewis in it right we know that big Ramy's probably going to be there we
01:33:42.040
who knows if Phil's going to be there but like it's going to there's going to be some major major
01:33:46.800
guys in this lineup so whoever wins this it's going to be a legitimate win so that's that's a
01:33:53.200
foregone conclusion but the part that can take us into the next level is Athleticon it can benefit
01:34:02.440
across the board now everybody's trying to act like oh Athleticon is going to hurt the Olympia
01:34:07.840
I completely disagree I think Athleticon is going to benefit the Olympia because anything that has the
01:34:15.700
rock involved in it and he has embraced this industry he is a bodybuilding fan he is a tree he
01:34:24.200
trains he lives this type of sport and he is bringing a different level of you know like everything that
01:34:33.760
he can do nobody's been able to do like listen the what he could do for this sport there literally
01:34:39.760
hasn't been like Joe Weider and and the things that they've done like you nobody will do what they
01:34:44.940
did again because it was just a different time like that for me was like the golden era because
01:34:50.000
like he knew all the athletes and and he was it was like a family like it was a little bit different
01:34:55.580
but it was a little bit of a cult type you know thing it wasn't mainstream even though they wanted it
01:35:01.180
in the Olympics it probably was just never going to get there the rock can make it in mainstream he can
01:35:08.520
put it out there and say look at what these guys do look at the hard work they do can he take can
01:35:15.180
it take attention away from Mr. Olympia or no I mean I don't think so I mean I think that the Mr.
01:35:20.440
Olympia is the Mr. Olympia and I think that what I think Athleticon Athleticon could be huge I think it
01:35:26.680
could be monstrous to the point where they can buy 51 percent of Astro Olympia or no well I mean
01:35:31.640
possibly but I think that I think the key really isn't so much overshadowing the Olympia I think
01:35:37.820
what the key is how much attention and how big Athleticon could be draws that much more you know
01:35:44.660
to the Olympia in my opinion I well I mean listen what's going to be interesting to see what happens
01:35:50.380
because for me again it goes back to the conversation with uh what Dana White did to UFC okay
01:35:56.460
and Dana White build that Joe Weider cult cult like type of an environment with UFC where
01:36:01.800
people like me who were you know all boxing and you know following boxers to all of us and say you
01:36:07.320
know what I don't even trust any of the judging over here I'm going to go watch you see so I got
01:36:10.580
you so I hope I hope you're right and I hope that does take place but I also hope uh uh I also hope
01:36:18.300
that somehow some way the relationship with somebody like a Danny or a Rock gets deeper in
01:36:24.980
to to develop and promote the next bodybuilders and take them to the next level with the context
01:36:31.320
that they have that's the only thing I go with it uh uh Dan uh seems like a really nice guy when
01:36:35.820
you you know super guy yeah that's like a really nice guy sincere guy that wants to do the right
01:36:39.720
thing uh uh you know sometimes organization some companies are missing one or two pieces but the
01:36:44.760
other question I was going to ask you with this part was we just talked about the Dallas we just
01:36:48.440
talked about some of these stories right what what do you think needs to be do you think
01:36:52.260
the bodybuilding world has a black eye because kidney kidney kidney you know young you know
01:36:57.440
don long all do you think bodybuilding has a black eye of uh uh the amount of people that have died or
01:37:04.420
have had issues there and if yes what do you think needs to happen for it maybe going to a different
01:37:09.940
direction the thing is when you look at the number of people that have had issues you know um it's pretty
01:37:16.280
small like when you when you look at it and like I said you know even with the flex thing like the flex
01:37:20.900
thing was that even the Don Long so I mean that was one of the guys that that Sean Ray brought up
01:37:24.960
again he's 100 aware of what what the deal is with Don Long like if you if you google Don Long you will
01:37:31.220
find out that Don Long was born with one kidney one functioning kidney he didn't find out about it
01:37:35.900
until 1999 so you know and again like did bodybuilding like escalate the problem 100 it escalated the problem
01:37:44.720
if he would have picked to be a golfer would he have needed a you know a kidney transplant so those
01:37:48.580
things are all out there I think that the biggest issue is that just like this list like this is
01:37:56.720
what is being pushed out there because this is shock value like and I think you know it's not so much
01:38:02.760
like look there was the death Momo died from diuretics and we know that he died from diuretics and like
01:38:08.140
you know there's there are those cases that happened at shows like there are like but they're far and few
01:38:14.960
between um and in reality most of those are like all related to something else like the the Momo stories
01:38:23.100
are very limited and but I think this stuff because you have a lot of young people right now that are
01:38:30.720
on the internet and they're like like trolling the sport you know realistically yeah and because what I
01:38:38.560
gotta be honest like when I first seen this list I'm like it's a fake list like no there's no chance
01:38:43.820
that's the real list like it's a fake list you like you know and then you know when when like I
01:38:49.880
was talking to somebody and they're like it's actually not a list it's a shopping list and I'm
01:38:55.560
like okay like I get it now and it's not for one person it was for two people and you know so I'm
01:39:03.200
like okay I got that now and so those are the things that are out there but this list being pushed
01:39:09.240
around by 16 year olds and 18 year olds and 19 year olds and all of these kids and then these
01:39:15.500
kids talking about this and these kids just like the side enhancement so you see all of these like
01:39:20.620
crazy guys that have just injected like ridiculous amounts of shit in their arms and they look
01:39:26.920
like a sideshow freak show but where are they they're on generation iron they're on all the
01:39:35.040
platforms they're being talked about on all the podcasts like most people are making fun of them
01:39:41.580
it's the ugliest thing it's the dumbest looking thing ever but they're literally there like they're
01:39:47.280
there and when those are the things that are out there and people pull up bodybuilding and bam there
01:39:53.000
that is the general public looks at that and is like what in the hell they don't see the story of
01:39:58.800
Brandon Curry flying literally home with the sandow and going directly to a school and talking to kids
01:40:05.340
like you don't see that very often you see this freak who has pumped a ton of shit in his arm for
01:40:11.040
no reason whatsoever and that's the stuff because that's what gets shock value why doesn't mr. Olympia
01:40:18.060
develop better content with their YouTube channel and start pumping stuff out there and start really
01:40:23.100
putting stuff in our faces so we see these types of stories exactly again that also goes back to the
01:40:27.660
marketing aspect exactly you tell the story and I and it was a part of conversation that we had
01:40:31.800
by the way I'm by the way I am assuming you have spoken to Dan about about being on value attainment
01:40:39.360
I'm assuming I actually haven't so he doesn't know you're gonna be here today absolutely not okay
01:40:43.320
no no clue he's gonna enjoy this yeah so he has no idea when Sean was here Sean was fully uh uh you
01:40:50.460
know he sounded like he was all team you know uh the way he came right prepared to you know shots fired and
01:40:57.060
all right he seemed really prepared for the whole thing but you know again my interest I'm interested
01:41:01.800
in the sport I mean you see who's in my right there's a reason why that's there I'm interested
01:41:06.560
in the sport I think there's a and in me but if you look at what Dan has done like Dan has you know
01:41:11.620
he had Mark Wahlberg at the you know Olympia this year and he's immediately you know teamed with Shaq who
01:41:18.420
I think is you know one of the most visible personalities you know out there no question and so those things
01:41:24.400
you know are are huge steps in the right direction credit to that but I also agree that
01:41:30.860
you can only do so much there and
01:41:34.940
the only person that really has the ability to pull the strings to that next level
01:41:41.900
is Danny and the Rock and they have the ability
01:41:45.500
ability to I think take athletes to put them in front of people that you could never get in front
01:41:52.360
and that's what it's going to take it's going to take somebody whoever if it's Phil Heath or whoever
01:41:58.160
it is um to win potentially Athleticon and to be put out there in front of people that would never see
01:42:06.640
him and when he's sitting next to Danny Garcia and the Rock and they're talking about Athleticon and
01:42:15.560
all of the you know physical fitness and stuff all of the nonsense then is eliminated all these freaks
01:42:21.540
that are doing the idiotic stuff is eliminated and it's more of a positive and that's where
01:42:27.480
everybody needs to go I mean I hope it happens I hope it happens I think it benefits the entire
01:42:32.080
sport if it does happen I get asked if Pat do you want to buy Mr. Olympia I don't have the time to buy
01:42:37.180
I want a financial firm I don't have an interest in wanting to buy the company today I'm in a
01:42:41.500
different state my life but I wouldn't mind seeing somebody like them taking it now let me ask you this
01:42:46.560
2020 Mr. Olympia what does it look like with Phil Heath what does it look like without Phil Heath
01:42:51.240
comes back what happens what would the excitement with the people in your opinion now you're more
01:42:56.740
team Solomon you're not really team Phil Heath so for full disclaimer but right but I like Phil
01:43:01.080
though so don't get me wrong like it's funny like I didn't used to really like him that much I was
01:43:04.420
actually like when he first came on I was like ah he's narrow and he's this and that and he proved
01:43:08.620
me wrong like you know like he I felt like he had weaknesses and then he progressed as a bodybuilder
01:43:15.280
and you know I like the fact that he did that you know and I mean he'll be the first to tell you
01:43:20.960
like listen like Chad would call me out like listen when I look good Chad told me I look good when I
01:43:24.960
look bad Chad told me I look bad um and so I'm very pro Phil when Phil is a hundred percent like
01:43:31.620
absolutely if Phil is in the show it is a better show like it is a better without a doubt like a
01:43:38.940
hundred percent okay you know I just you know I think that that's the key like do we see Phil
01:43:43.580
at the Olympia I think we're going to see Phil this year a hundred percent you think you're going
01:43:47.420
to see him a hundred percent I think we are going to see him I just don't know if we're going to see
01:43:50.260
him at the Olympia I agree with you I that's right Athleticon I totally yes I totally agree
01:43:55.100
and and there's been some uh you know there's going to be some uh very interesting announcements
01:44:00.160
being made here pretty soon but you know I just hope it's not going to be one of those things
01:44:04.860
because you know how sometimes like imagine if I am right now you know how you said if I had it
01:44:10.120
my way I would have done whatever I could to help the other candidates to help beat Sean Ray because
01:44:13.880
I wanted to you know exactly so you know so so maybe if Mr. Olympia is a little bit pissed off
01:44:19.040
with Phil before the way he's kind of been with Sean Ray maybe Phil is kind of like dude if I come
01:44:22.940
back they're pumping up Flex Lewis to kind of subtly give him the Mr. and they'll give me number two
01:44:27.200
why would I put my body through this those are some of the things he's got to be concerned about
01:44:30.440
because there's a lot of politics there is a lot of politics and I mean those are things here's the
01:44:34.360
thing like and I know that's a big topic right now because Flex Lewis gets an invite and like
01:44:38.880
they're pumping Flex Lewis right now big time yeah it is big time and and here's the thing that's
01:44:44.540
tough about that like I get the aspect of he's a 212 champion and I believe 100% he deserves an
01:44:53.300
invite because the Olympia champions literally carry over full-time so he literally deserves what
01:44:59.260
he's getting no but nobody and he's got a beautiful but here's the problem here's the problem you have
01:45:04.540
you have guys literally getting ready for the Arnold right now you have Brandon Curry who's the reigning
01:45:09.000
Mr. Olympia and the last thing they want to do is prep for a show with even an inkling of doubt
01:45:17.700
like and I know exactly what that's like because my wife prepped for the Olympia who's who's who's
01:45:23.020
without who you're talking about so like Brandon yeah like so Brandon Curry like you know listen you
01:45:28.940
so here's Flex being pumped pumped now I have a feeling when we get closer to the Olympia that's
01:45:33.580
I have a feeling they're pumping Flex right now because they just invited him and so I think
01:45:37.360
everybody a little bit yeah I think I think a little bit everybody's jumping the gun and I
01:45:41.240
think when it comes right down to it I think so I think we're gonna have a dominant winner at the
01:45:45.680
Arnold and I think that guy's gonna be a major force and I think that we're going to have Brandon
01:45:50.320
Curry coming back as like really trying to prove himself because let's get real I mean he took a lot
01:45:55.460
of shit this year because he didn't beat anybody so he's now trying to prove himself you know Flex
01:45:59.440
Lewis you know going in who who has all this hype and he's trying to prove himself and I think that you
01:46:04.940
have a situation and who knows what's gonna happen with Roden like if Roden's court case is over and
01:46:09.540
he's you know basically you know basically cleared of all charges I believe that he will be I think he
01:46:15.460
will be in and so we could potentially see four or five really good bodybuilders battle it out on stage
01:46:22.780
I still don't think it's going to include Phil Heath but the the ultimate goal you don't think Phil's
01:46:28.600
going to hit the stage this year I think he's going to hit Athleticon okay without a doubt but at the end
01:46:32.900
of the day I still think we could benefit because the ultimate goal potentially would be whoever wins
01:46:38.540
the Olympia goes to Athleticon now I think obviously if mr. Olympia then beat you really
01:46:46.700
scary it is what you just said it's scary because without a doubt then that means that let it come
01:46:51.440
becomes the not necessarily just think if Phil he's like my pastor Olympia we'll just think if just
01:46:56.520
think if let's say that Phil Heath bypasses the I'm just gonna throw this out here yeah so let's say
01:47:02.600
Phil bypasses the Olympia and goes to Athleticon yeah and let's say that big Ram he comes in and wins
01:47:08.840
the Olympia okay and decides he's gonna go to Athleticon and then he beats Phil at Athleticon
01:47:15.620
he just proved that the mr. Olympia is still by far the top thing now the flip side of that is if if he
01:47:23.760
wins the Olympia and goes and gets beat by Phil then it becomes a different story you scare your part
01:47:29.100
here's the scary part say Phil goes and competes at Athleticon he wins he gets a contract with
01:47:35.940
Under Armour he gets a contract in the movies he makes nine million dollars Rami then goes and wins
01:47:41.640
the next year he gets a four and a half million dollar contract then there's a massive exodus and and and you
01:47:47.760
have to understand capitalism works no I get that I understand I had a guy of mine I'm sitting down he's
01:47:52.680
talking to me he says to me Pat I'm telling you I got the safest business there's no one that's
01:47:59.220
going to put me out of business I said Andy Grove the legendary CEO of Intel in the 80s wrote a book
01:48:04.920
called only the paranoid survive and it wouldn't be the smartest thing for Mr. Olympia to not be
01:48:10.020
paranoid it wouldn't be just my absolute I agree and again I could be wrong but I got to tell you
01:48:13.860
like if that scenario played out it would be the absolute greatest thing for the athlete I agree
01:48:20.340
it'll be unbelievable agree you know Phil Heath make an X amount a million whoever the next person
01:48:26.040
is it would be the greatest thing because in my opinion what it would do is it would light a fire
01:48:31.860
hopefully under some of these guys and go holy shit look what Phil just did because right now that
01:48:39.240
fire is not there like you can see it like when you're looking at guys Wayne Johnson and Danny Garcia
01:48:43.800
are way more sex oh dude keep the opportunity and the other sex so you're getting into that world
01:48:50.820
that's a sense and it's a different scenario because like these guys like right now I think
01:48:55.740
you know I mean when you go to these shows and when everybody's talking about like these guys aren't
01:49:00.540
suffering and these guys aren't putting in the work and these guys are out of shape and this and
01:49:03.840
that I can tell you that a eight million dollar Under Armour contract or whatever you know like all that
01:49:10.920
kind of money that will literally light a fire under somebody's ass you know and that's yeah and so
01:49:16.840
and then I'm gonna give you the bipolar complete opposite side of it I'd love to see Phil get nine
01:49:22.980
I just don't know if the political power people want to see Phil get nine because I don't know if
01:49:29.040
they want the face yeah of nine to be ahead of Lee Haney or Ronnie because it's almost a little I just
01:49:34.920
hope I'm wrong again I hope I'm wrong we're talking nine Olympias I'm talking nine Olympia yeah yeah yeah
01:49:40.200
that's tough if I'm if I'm a guy that's right now in Olympia I want to see him come get nine because
01:49:46.800
that's that's media that's conversation that's talk but again but but when you think about it like when
01:49:52.600
you know and then I just had this conversation when we're looking at that talk like that guy okay the
01:50:00.460
guy that's gonna do that and I'm not saying it's ever gonna be done but even if it's Phil first he's
01:50:06.520
got to win one more to to eight yeah to get to eight right that just ties him and then he would need
01:50:13.360
another one to break nine to break that like to break that that athlete literally has to be 100%
01:50:24.100
like that athlete doesn't come in and just win I you know what I mean because even when Ronnie was
01:50:29.500
going for nine and we and he was already dealing with the back issues Phil can be a hundred percent
01:50:34.120
I don't know if he can be a hundred percent but in two years I'm not sure if he can be he'll be 41 he's
01:50:39.040
40 right now yeah so he can still go possibly possibly you know but I even when Ronnie was
01:50:44.240
coming in and he was having the back issues and stuff and you know I remember having this
01:50:48.340
conversation with Kim he's like you know this is like nine and and where is he gonna have to be
01:50:52.360
and I go this will be the hardest Olympia ever to win I said no matter even if he's a little bit even
01:50:58.400
if he's a little bit better he's not winning this one because that separates somebody that's a
01:51:03.800
monstrosity of an achievement if anybody could do it maybe Phil maybe Phil but
01:51:08.800
it would be it'll be crazy well Chad I think we have to thank Sean Ray for making this happen
01:51:14.440
if it wasn't for your best friend Sean Ray you and I are not sitting in front of each other
01:51:18.000
conversation exactly but also at the same time I uh I like the fact that you have the courage to
01:51:24.680
sit here and take all the questions you know it's not it's probably the most open I'm like I'm not
01:51:29.260
the most open guy just because bodybuilding is typically not open you know what I'm saying of
01:51:33.620
course um but I think that there's so many negative things out there right now and like look
01:51:39.080
it's not like we're hiding something like we all know what's going on and I think the problem is like
01:51:44.340
there's so much misdirection and so much miss you know uh information out there as far as like what's
01:51:50.640
actually involved and stuff and that's why you know like um even Kim was like you know like how far
01:51:56.120
are you gonna go with this you know and I go you know what like I've never like literally spoke
01:52:00.620
like openly and um I'm gonna speak as open as I possibly can and that's exactly what you did I
01:52:06.000
think that's exactly what the audience is going to appreciate about this I am assuming there's
01:52:09.920
going to be a Sean Ray camp that's going to be here as well to put their thoughts and we want to hear
01:52:13.700
from you as well but Chad appreciate you for coming out really thank you so much 24-hour thing I was
01:52:18.720
