Summary

Adam and Dr. Drew are joined by champion bodybuilder Philip Ricardo Jr. to discuss the world of natural bodybuilding, the role of creatine, and the strict discipline of pre-competition dieting. Philip shares insights on aging as a natural athlete, the realities of maintaining muscle mass over time, and practical tips for everyday people looking to stay strong and fit as they age. The conversation turns to the science of finding your optimal weight and the key factors that contribute to long-term health and longevity.

Later, Adam and Dr. Drew react to Scott Pelley’s recent commencement speech, unpacking its broader cultural messages. They explore the growing trend of vilifying young white men, how Asian voters are shifting politically, and what it all means for the future of the Democratic party.
