Tim Ferriss - NBC Interview on Drugs and Barry Bonds

[Fouisgras]

@mikehill01 I've actually read the book multiple times,and find no contradicting statements. Maybe you should check the context..

[xyhmo]

Tim was very reasonable here, and also very calm. Maybe he's on a depressant. :)

[psvc22]

I'm glad he kind of presented both sides. Dude knows what he's talking about though

[thisisspartacus]

I this Tim Ferriss applying his "how to be a fake expert in anything" strategy? (Even though he is knowledgable about the matter).

[persepolis80]

wow, timothy ferriss is CUTE!

[etcomro]

Haha this is all to validate his company. I love it.

[PointOfLight1]

"relatively unknown german publication?" This guy has no Idea! "Der Spiegel" is the most important and most known german magazine. And It is Europes bigest Magazine...

[driven6996]

Dam this dude is smart and so knowledgeable

[driven6996]

Dam this guy is most likely correct

[biporio]

I mean, is there any subject that this guy don't know anything about? Is he omniscient or something?

[biporio]

This guys makes me think about Aleksey Vayner - Impossible Is Nothing.

[DannyBoitanni]

it is now! yes! kinda funny though, I think he meant unknown in the united states

[tonybeir]

that's why he said relatively. meaning compared to other magazines in America not gemany.

[Fungwabus117]

@martinmc71 he could possibly have meant "relatively unknown around the world, not just in Germany"

[lilvjdude]

Tim Ferriss reminds me of a bad guy in a comedy, for some reason...ala. Shooter McGavin

[lilvjdude]

@lilvjdude I take it back....I just read the 4 hour workweek and it was VERY good

[deanguitarfan]

i think its stupid that america has talked so much about steroids, instead about the war in iraq or something else, i mean that hgh or just steroids isn´t really that threatning to the world, it isn´t really that bad, like an example roid rage it is about 5% that you will get it, everything that you read about steroids, like small balls or increase hair growth every side effect is pretty much reversible, exept for the bitch tits that you will get hehe, but in real life steroids is not that bad

[itzblakreign]

dont forget peanut penis :P

[BigEdDunkel]

I like how 'roids gave Bonds's bald head a nice a glossy coat.

[TBRaysTORaptors]

Do any of you know that Barry Bonds never failed a steroid test! My god, you just can't be a great player without being blamed for steroids these days. Did you notice that this man never mentioned Barry Bonds?

[folasm]

even if you see him as a self-marketer (and there is nothing wrong with that) you cannot deny that he is knowledgeable on the subject and that is to be expected since he does work in that industry.

[tonybeir]

well theres nothing wrong with selling a good product. Public persona Tim is a good product.

[IndieJumper]

Timothy Ferriss is a master self-marketer.

[bm2g]

when was this?

[commentator7]

Look yawl, if parents from day one had control of their kids,it wouldn't be an issue about anything. TV, Radio, Magazines,Newspapers and so on. anything that Has 2 do with public media always promoting things that is negative much more then positive simply because it sells much faster and it's seems 2 be more popular

2 this here generation of now!

Evil is Good, Good is Evil, if there was no

Evil how would we know what Good is?

Thanks Eddy Murphy, 4 that line!!!!!

[gu88766]

fuckin' jocks

[soprano562]

ok if he took stereoids u still have to be agood player hes just aGOOD PLAYER THATS IT?

[911jesse]

look at the size of barry's head now and ten years ago- ROIDS, bro.

[hueyot]

Also: who the hell is Timothy Ferris? Why not get a real expert to talk on this complex subject? Instead, we see the co-founder of some garbage supplement company which sells overpriced useless products. I guess he's worried that steroid use would take away his potential customers! Why buy useless supplements which promise the world yet deliver nothing when you can use tried tested and true steroids.

[hueyot]

Steroids don't build a star athlete, either. Bonds isn't great because of his steroid use, but because of his work ethic. Thanks for the sharing video, as ridiculous as this interview is.

[hueyot]

Timothy Ferris is full of shit, who cares if Andreas Muntzer died from abusing steroids? Countless people have died from the abuse of countless substances/drugs. This whole, "...it's gonna get our kids to use steroids!" is beyond ridiculous. And the fear campaign that steroids will kill you is also baseless. Let's allow kids to realize the truth: that steroids play a big role in professional sports. Lying to them isn't the answer.

[DEPORTALLILLEGALS]

How fucking dumb do you have to be to think Bonds is clean? The entire drug regimen is MEANT to defeat the tests so saying he's never tested negative is just ignorance. The players and doctors have always been far ahead of the tests.

[haden555]

Barry is clean and always has been. For all of you haters, ever heard of innocent until proven gulity? I know he increased his size a good bit but his body would have broken down by now and he would have gotten skinny by now. Hes doing great for 43 yrs old.

[wingsownyou]

What a load of rubbish. He looked like a mal-nourished jockey when he was in Pittsburgh. He becomes a Giant.... figuratively and literally, and THEN starts hitting homeruns. As long as we're talking about archaic legal cornerstones, how about guilt by association? Why are Barry's personal trainers not allowed in the Giants clubhouse? Who it hurts the most? The youngsters that hold this massive freak on a pedestal. It's truly a disgrace to anyone who ever played the game straight up.

[1984or2007]

I like May, but McCovey knows Bonds cheated and Hank Aaron will not be at the 755 or 756 games. That's one Black Man kicking the other (BONDS) in the nuts. Look at him as a rookie untill now. He gain 75 LBs. What a fucking cheater.

[dantej32]

One usually gains weight as one gets older moron and he is no where near a 75lbs weight gain. So you lie. If he lifts weights there is a gain of muscle mass and an increase in weight. Is it cheating to become stronger?

[Redcooper02]

Bonds used a variety of "enhancements" Rod9jo...so obviously it's not about making money with the book.

[Brownkyl]

I really liked the comparison you made when you said ". ..using drug testing to stop steroids in sports is like using a brethalizer to stop drunk driving. It just doesn't work."

[rod9jo]

They just want to make fuckin money with that dam book!
