First Derek, now Chris. I see a pattern. Is Jordan starting a bulk soon? 😂
-
The ultimate mind/muscle connection.
-
It's such a privilege to be able to see one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time have a chat with Chris Bumstead :face-red-heart-shape:
-
The best part of the interview? Watching Dr Peterson write down notes when he didn't know something. That's a desire for knowledge.
-
The collab nobody was expecting, but everybody needed
-
Our father and our daddy in one room
-
Bumstead needs his own podcast. So articulate and collected in his delivery. Love this guy.
-
As a gym rat, I can confirm that the real-life fitness community (not influencer culture) is the most supportive place you can be. I hope more people find a gym after this interview.
-
This combo is CRAZY
-
I never imagined that Dr. Peterson would interview the Mr. Olympia. This is amazing!!!
-
This channel is undeniably one of the sources of true modern wisdom.
-
The way Chris smiled when Jordan said "you're about to become a father. That's gonna keep you busy."
-
The crossover we needed!!
-
Damn... CBum and JP? Can't get any better than this ❤
-
The Canadians Canada needs.
-
The greatest mind and the greatest body. CBum was probably the second guy I ever subscribed to back in 2019 and I’ve listened to probably everything Jordan has had to say in that time. My mind is exploding.
-
Chris is such an amazing individual. So raw, real and compassionate. He’s a true gentle giant.
-
jordan's next video: "My first Tren cycle at the age of 61"

@35:41 Jordan makes an excellent point about being nervous when you know you’re not the most nervous there. Perfect example. I work on the ambulance and it can get nerve racking sometimes. Wondering what event might happen or trying to stay mentally prepared. It’s hard. Yet, when we have a student riding out with us who is absolutely petrified, I notice I am at complete ease because now I have a different job to do, navigating them. 100% true statement from Jordan.

It’s tough to be a proud Canadian nowadays but thank god we have these two! 🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
