No thanks,the guys bores me
i feel bad for carrot top a lot, dude was the entertainment worlds punching bag for over a decade. never seemed to let it effect him though, so props to him
Haaaaa
Agreed.
Did you just make a pun?
Kinda feels accidental and that makes me laugh more lol
Ohhhhhhh 🥁. Good one Dannnooooooo 👊🏻
He was on gear 100%. Not hatin', just sayin'. That doesn't make him a shitty person.
as if you can possibly know that
I agree and I'm not even mad at it. There's too much misinformation in relation to gear use. I only hate when people are OBVIOUSLY on it and eat shit in front of your face but say its chocolate pudding. C'mon dude. That's what I hate, otherwise that's your business.
@@joshblahnamehere2308 because people generally don't go through puberty when they're 45. Not hating. He was a comedian, his steroid use would literally hurt noone but himself.
@@thenewyearsgrinch because its like a dude stuffing a sock in his pants and enjoying all of the women looking at it while he acts like it's real. Sure, it technically is his problem, but he also I essence is making other dudes look smaller, when in fact they aren't, and he didn't get a big dick naturally.
I work in real estate. I remember my first year I was selling about 2 homes per month. A friend I went to real estate school claimed he was already selling 10 homes per month. Well this was a lie. I pulled up his statistics to show my wife later. But the fact is, he said it in front of my wife, willing to make me look bad, to make himself look better.....yet was full of sht. So one could say the lie really only made him look like a liar, but when someone takes credit for something they didn't actually, naturally do, they are willing to make every other person look bad. It's like women fawning over The Rock, and then looking at their husband wondering why they aren't "more dedicated and muscular". "Because he did Fing steroids for years honey!!!! When he has a stroke at 50, let's talk."
Definitely on gear.
Carrot top has huge balls and can deflect any and all negativity directed at him like a super power
He didn’t have huge balls on steroids. He looked like he was on
@@Phillip_higgins Beat me to it.
Bet he still hurts from it, though. Seems like a lot of comedians have a lot of pain going on underneath all the humor. He's not my taste in comedy, but people should be nicer.
@@leomdk939 ...It Goes like this..." Ahhh,,,good to be on a gear and then took it easy and go running for fitness,mental alert,feeling good." ...Should be Nicer?
Got to see Carrot Top as an undergrad when he was just getting started. Got to talk to him after. super chill guy.
I always like his humor 🤪
An undergrad? What was he studying?
@@justanotherbum007 Prop Comedy Theory 801
he’s a funny and chill guy. always felt bad for him how people always dragged his appearance. but he is very talented. he deserves props.
Deserves props.. unintentional pun is epic
Icee what you did there 😂
@@deleted5140 that was not unintentional lol
Idk about funny
The guy makes money to live in vegas and do random shit on stage you have to be a real hater to put that down lol
Carrot Top is awesome, seen him in Vegas many years ago sporting my Saigon Kick shirt! Knew he would enjoy that!
Carrot Top's appearance on Space Ghost Coast to Coast is one of my favorite episodes
Carrot Top is a funny dude, seen him at the Luxor on a couple of occasions and always puts on a great show for the fans. Huge fan since the early 90's..
I met carrot top once he smelled like some dank ass bud. Actual Kenny Omega had an aroma like that when I met him lol
Oh I bet
😂😂
So Kenny won't touch a beer, but he reeks of bud? Not sure on this one.
@@Danielson1818 High > Drunk
This guy did what a lot of comedians don't do. Last in the business. Well deserved Carrot top
Very nice guy, always grab a drink at one of his hangout spots. Humble and kind hearted
I always liked him ever since I was a kid... I never really watched his comedy and he was in a few goofy movies I saw growing up.
More nostalgia than anything but nothing but respect for him. I hear his live show is really good as well.
Translation: "I didn't wanna keep taking gear"
Love the "Top" he has always been consistent, always funny, never giving a damn about the haters, and riding that bad boy all the way to the bank, and it just kills some people, that's the truly funny part!
I love getting top too!
Obviously used roids during that period but still requires a lot of commitment.
Yes it does. Gear will only help if you put the work in. Many folks.dont seem to get that. Gear will only add 5 to 10% mass. Diet and training are still 90% of it all.
@@crixusthenorman1603 I'm not saying you are wrong, just that I would explain it differently. The roids don't do all the work, but the person sees noticable gains they didn't have before. Because they see results, they train more often and feed into it. It kinda becomes a self fulfilling circle, right? So even if it is 5-10%, that person is still training way more because of what they see in the mirror.
@@crixusthenorman1603 PED users are glorified junkies and no, diet and training of so many PED users is just stupid. You could suck d on PEDs and as long as your eating, you get big. You’ve been watching too much MPMD (love his channel btw but the I can’t stand the indirect promotion of PED use). Compared to natural bodybuilding, lifting on PEDs is a joke. People just hop on PEDs because they want a physique as fast as possible, not understanding that getting big is a process that takes time. Now look at him, do you really think he lost the gains because he ran? NO, he just stopped using PEDs which is good because he’s probably/definitely a lot healthier. Stop defending PED use, return to Natural Bodybuilding
@@Danielson1818 I agree that gear will also motivate you to go harder and longer no doubt there. You heal faster and can go back sooner and go as hard as yesterday or this morning lol.
He said he was working out about 3 hours a day? He also said he's doing shows 6 nights a week I think?
So it was basically eat, sleep, work out then do a show. Guess he had the time but pulling off 3 hour straight workouts requires 94 octane. His physique looks enhanced. Think he also mentioned that he's 145 ish lbs. Went up to 190 and lean?!?!?!?
LMFAO
Roids? He abused Synthol
Went to his Vegas show a few years ago. Was our favorite part of the trip.
He’s 56 years old now. Time flies
He now looks like a guy wearing a Carrot Top mask
I met him once in Philly. Super nice guy. Always been a carrottop fan
Most fucked up thing about carrot top is I've never heard bad things about his character or him as a person it's literally just shitting on appearance.
There are some people the world just join together to fuck with for no good reason and it's a shame.
Carrot Top and Kenny Omega remind me so much of each other. The way they talk, lol.
When a person works out a little something and then takes juice and your body transforms overnight….Only to realize,you have to continue taking juice and working out in order to maintain that physique lol
Maybe he got that big... that fast.... from steroids.... realized the dangers of being juiced and got off. He’s maintained a career for over 20 years... and still playing Vegas... good for him.
Ask Rich Piana. Oh wait..... you can't.
My thoughts exactly.
Carrot top is great. Him and Patrice on O&A was hilarious.
Facts
Yoooo they were killer together
Never got the hate for carrot top. He always seemed like a nice guy, did his thing and down to earth. Its a shame when being mean to someone for no reason is the "cool" thing to do.
Nice clip
I LOVE Carrot Top. And can he just admit that the reason why he came back down to size is he stopped 'ROIDS??
It's not all roids tho. He could still be pretty big without taking them. But you can tell he's not lifting anymore.
@@MrJjburgess11 I agree. I have lifted for many years and paid attention to the different studies about muscle gain and the like. And he said in there that he lifted heavily for about 2 years, and he was big early on in that 2-year span. So he achieved those results very quickly, and he was no spring chicken, and if you been in the gym enough over the years, you know that you are not going to get those kind of results that quickly unless you are a genetic freak. And it's what all the stars are doing nowadays. We see people like Sean Penn, Sylvester Stallone, and on and on, are bigger now than they ever were in their prime. I mean, how is Sylvester Stallone beefier now than when he was in Rocky 3, and he's over 70 years old? Just sayin
No shit, everyone does it, just get sick of listening to Rock , Hughs Jackedman , Mark Wahlberg and all those marvel dickwads talking about diet and training. Just admit it. For that money we all would do it also
@@fjbxrplover agreed
In modern society starting in the 80s The press and media rallied the public and put a stigma on steroids. So much that today it has become a trigger word for most people. And they did this with a lot of things. Not just steroids. And they did so by putting out a lot of disinformation. They blamed heavy metal music for people commiting suicide and shooting up schools. They blamed eggs for people's bad cholesterol while promoting drinking a ton of milk was the best thing ever. They blamed cannabis for a whole heap of things that weren't true. They made MSG out to be the worst thing ever. (It's the reason Popeyes and Chick fil A is so delicious) They said that if you take one hit of crack you would instantly be addicted and immediately start blowing people on the streets for crack. And we could write 5 books on all the disinformation about things that they spread out to the public. Truth is everything has the ability to be abused and can potentially be dangerous or deadly. All these big dudes that put up the "I'm number one" finger and smile and speak out like they don't fuck with steroids. They are all liars. And the people that put them up to these campaigns know they are lying. It's an agenda. The Rock tries to portray himself as an All American clean living natural giant and a specimen of physical health. Truth is. Nobody becomes that big without steroids. Nobody. And just like drinking water and working out. Everything has the potential to be either beneficial or abused and harmful. If the word "steroids" instantly makes you think of bad things it's because you've been conditioned to do so. There's tons of people that wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for steroids. And there is a lot less people that died from abusing them. There's nothing wrong with steroids. Until you're abusing them. Just like water.
Roids are pricey
so the answer is he thought it took away from his comedy, it became the main focus people had on him and he didn't like that.
Fix the sound. I couldn't hear the guest.
I wish carrot top would have never had plastic surgery he was fine the way he was he didn't have to change himself I love you carrot top
My favorite comic!!!!!!
hysterical live show
Yes when I started my business I stopped lifting because people just look at you and say wow your big or what do you bench and I wanted to do deals and talk about making money
Good catch! Covering for the fact he was using roids
SNL had a great sketch with Emilio Estevez called HOW MUCH YA BENCH?
He got the profile pics.
Mission accomplished 💪🏻
I used to love the bumpers between episodes Carrot Top did for Cartoon Network in the 90s.
I remember him being jacked in those 1800 collect commercials
He acts and talks like a really nice guy
its crazy to me that Carrot Top is almost 60 years old
still the chairman of the b-o-r-e-d
Carrot top has always been a low key genius
I've seen his Vegas show.. it's really good actually.
Talked to CT at the gym a few times. Cool dude.
The wrestling fans that are watching this, I remember always seeing Carrot Top’s 1 800 CALL ATT commercials during WWF RAW and pretty much any other WWF/WWE programming on TNN in the early 00’s like Velocity and Confidential.
He started lifting to prepare himself for fights since so many people were hating on him and actually threatening the poor guy. So he got jacked!
Dude sure acts like he tripped and fell into being huge instead of guzzling the special sauce.
He downplays. In 2008 I caught a flight from atl to lv and he was on it. I was / power lifter at 6’ 260 and he was bigger than me. I was 28 at the time and had been lifting for 13 years. He was was stacked.
ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) trainer here and Muay Thai coach for over 17 yrs.
Yep, absolutely on gear. There are physiological differences when someone's on HGH, testosterone, or anabolics. "Sausage skin", "bacne", hypogonadism (balls shrink), or gynnaecomastia (breast development) are all common side effects.
The number one giveaway for me is excessive hypertrophy in the upper pec.
Take a look at Ed Nortons Incredible Hulk. The muscles were framed from actual anatomy. Notice the pectorals are not bloated like every other iteration. The pec stretches as it grows not inflates. If they got puffy pecs; they on the juice.
Straight up. I always look for the "b1tch t1tties". Dead giveaway.
You can tell he is losing mass really fast. Look at the sagging skin by the bend in his arm.
He was on carrot juice 🥕💉
LOL
just to let everyone know, Carrot top always had been natural through out his entire journey of his fitness
Did you ask him why he wasn’t at wrestlemania 14? There was an ad for him appearing in WWF magazine where sunny has him in a figure 4. But there was never a mention of it past that
Carrot tops funny as
shitt I loved and getting to meet him in person I hope sometime he can come back to Dayton Ohio when I met him he was was jacked up I hanged out with him for about an hour
Carrot Top was the 1st comedian (I recall) to transform his physique. Chappelle did upon his NF return in '17, & Kev Hart soon after
Once you get and maintain a decent size naturally, you don't really need to lift much to maintain it. Pretty much just eat enough and workout at a small % of the volume you needed to grow. If you lose a lot of size fast, it's mostly diet and getting off "supplements."
Thanks Mr expert
Well, he isnt wrong!! LOL. If its built right, itll be there and not too hard to maintain.
All facts
working out gettin jacked is fun for a bit but there comes a time where many start to get bored of it, I think that's probably what happened. To maintain that size he had takes an incredible amount of effort and dedication not to mention eating like crazy. But the second you stop you can lose all of it in no time at all.
Yeah he had to take an incredible amount of “effort” and “effort” is expensive and bad for your kidneys, glad he stopped.
@@cormacthem8406 you'd be amazed how big you can stay if you get off steroids and still workout.
You won't be as big of course, but once you get jacked on gear you can maintain about 60-80% of that without more gear. I had a ton of friends who did that in college.
Thing is, the gear is addicting. And who wants to maintain 60-80% of where you can be when you can maintain 100%+ by blasting a 12 week cycle twice a year?
I use to see him at Golds, at Lake Meade Dr
if carrot top was a 80s metal band i wouldnt even think twice that he had a odd look
Steroids must've had alot of side effects 😂
I do all hos jokes in reverse as CarrotBottom
carrot top looks like an 80s hair metal band member
Early Axle Rose
I’ll die in the cross for this one…. But chairman of the board was a classic!!!
When the hell did u get a studio ?!
We recorded our first episodes there two weeks ago. Check out the studio tour on my main channel here: ua-cam.com/video/LCi8FcsTZro/v-deo.html
Carrot top makes me laugh
CT looks like the lady from its always sunny in Philadelphia
I want to see the whole show from carrot top and max caster
I respected the hell out of Carrot top for getting built but I can understand why that may take away from his comedic style. For me it only made me like him more just because of respect though.
Carrot is the new kale
Met him at a bar in the jacked era, im a fan of his but muscles were mostly steroids i grab his arm impressed but it was no muscle . Still a funny guy a chill dude
You grabbed his arm at a bar, bro...?
@@xcaluhbration hahahahahahahahahaa
Yeah, grap his arm or bicep sorry we were comparing muscles. It seemed to be ok since we were going for a picture. We also drank a beer
Represent cocoa FL baby!!
I had nothing to do all day so I just randomly starting taking steroids and tracking my macros and out of nowhere i got jacked
"man when you look at those PHOTOS" (host)
(no photos to show or 'look' at)
Love CT but you don't get that jacked going to the gym every day.
CT and Dave Chappelle got jacked
Carrot Top is a badass
Youd think he’d have more of a dynamic mic for guests knowing nobody ever stays on top of the mic except the host;,
The Shure SM7B is the same dynamic microphone most top podcasters like Joe Rogan or Logan & Jake Paul use. If you think there's a mic that might be better suited for interviews, let me know and I'll pass it along to our studio!
He was roiding as well as lifting -- stopped the roiding and he shrunk
Video should be titled, "Carrot Top On Why He Quit Steroids"
Skin looks great!
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.
He looked like an angry carrot :)
Appears carrot top is comfortable in his own skin.
I stopped dieting because I like to eat.
Show the damn photos
He honestly gets the thought process of people that love genuine comedy.
It was the same with how I viewed Dave Chapelle when he was getting buff, I was like "man he was funnier when he was just a skinny dude".
The insight of the meek is more endearing than the dictations of the strong.
seeing at how popular dave has always been i dont think its tht big of a factor. besides carrot top relies on props not actually writing good material
It’s a big factor. Jacked guys just aren’t as a funny because of their physical presence. The skinny goofy Dave is far better. Same with Carrot Top.
Isn’t this the star of that movie “box office poison”?
*taking gear**
I wonder if his stack affected his health too?
Early Will Ferrell had the same problem if I remember correctly, said SNL made him get chubby because it's funnier apparently.
The Ronald Mcdonald on creotine 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm pretty sure he was 'roiding and/or injecting oil into the muscles. One sign is the sagging skin on his arms, where he's since lost that mass. It is what it is; it's his body and that's fine. Just wish he'd be straight with us about it.
Now he's more like Carrot Bottom
I'm not sure of the exact date but I think carrot top started haveing muscles similar to a shaved baboon around 93 or 94. I don't think he was taking steroids. He was muscular as a baboon but a person who works out hard and regularly, proper muscle rest, diet, protein powder, amino acids, ETC plus have the right Gene's for superior muscle development. The reason ALOT of people claimed Carrot top was on steroids was before he started working out he was skinny as a person in a Japanese prisoner of war camp
lol he juiced. who cares lol, heaps of people juice
He never mentioned that he was on the gas
He stopped the "juice" cmon! He's normally a small guy!
Real talk is.....nobody rocks the red hair & freckles like him. I envy that
Stop the cap. He stopped the juice
Who is this carrot top guy?
Why doesn't anyone ask the juice question
🥕is the tops😊
