[@jujimufu]

What a GREAT time! Great host and great tech work on James' part! Such a priveledge, thank you for having me on Brian!

[@adamrodriguez3463]

Been waiting for another colab since the planet fitness max out video. That started my fascination with strongman and your channel juji. Both of you guys have grown so much over the years it's been awesome to follow along.

[@princelewd3019]

@jujimufu I agree with you regarding FORCED things from parents. I hated when my parents forced me to do xyz. it was NOT fun. i started tricking thanks to you. back in the day when you had tricks tutorials with your cast on your arm. I enjoyed it so much, it became my HS identity in the 2000s. 20+ years later I still have a burned memory of you, skinny and pale. love you so much!

[@AnalogX64]

This was such a nice surprise, both of you guys are chill and makes for a great conversation from the heart.

[@turbopower4361]

Two Class Acts. I love your excitement for home gyms

[@Genieslamptv]

Huge fan of you both and hope to meet you both one day. You have inspired me guys in ways you have no idea and saved my life. I know I probably won't get the chance but God Bless you both, your families and teams.

[@Insane_Power]

2 guys bad at taking complements complement each other for a hour and a half lol. Its so wholesome they have more then earned it I enjoyed every minute off it love both of them.

[@Joshua.McNabb]

Gotta be the 2 most wholesome personalities in strength sports. The late John Meadows was up there too

[@swaslaukinonome]

The real strength is the humility, the muscles just follow.

[@jonanderson5137]

Thanks, I guess it was my turn to be the timestamp guy.

[@Thegreat772]

Excellent

[@MoralesCorner]

You're the real MVP

[@The.Vikingr]

Thanks jon

[@doug4167]

Brian questioning whether he’s been a strongman pioneer or not is great and shows how humble he is. Brian has done so much for the sport of strongman, and I’m personally thankful for it.

[@alertedcoyote7892]

Nah fr Brian has done a ridiculous amount for strongman, both for competitors and fans. Sport wouldn't be close to where it is now if he hadn't done what he's done

[@Kado1609]

the man is just top tier at everything he does from producing strongman equipment to events all the way to pod casts and so down to earth do you find a better personality for pod casting not rly... look at joe rogan hes also veeery humble and down to earth and ppl love that brian is a natural at everything

[@DisabledScoobyDoo]

Glad to see juju bounce back after that situation with Tom. Rock on brother

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

Yeah, I tried to see what Tom was up to after that, apparently it's scorched Earth. Nothing after the whole debacle with his embezzling.

[@kylefitzherbert9381]

Dude always had a weird creepy vibe about him. I never really got into juji's content because of it.

[@alertedcoyote7892]

@@kylefitzherbert9381 Its soooo much better now in my opinion. Feels a lot more... I dunno, personal? Juji seems so much more relaxed and like he's having way more fun. It's great to see

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

@@kylefitzherbert9381 exactly. In the beginning it seemed like Tom helped expand and improve the content, but then he got obsessive and selfish. It was so strange that the videographer wanted to make the channel about himself as much or more than The talent that is Juji. Juji has bounced back bigger and better than ever. The content is next level and always positive instead of strange and creepy as you said.

[@Natefirethemagnets]

We don't talk about Bruno.

[@spivzit8754]

Meeting Brian at the Shaw Classic was humbling. After a 2 day competition he stood in line for HOURS and shook hands with every single person in line. I was near the back of the line and he was genuinely happy to meet me and thanked me for the support. He talked with each person for a minute or two. So when he says he genuinely likes to connect with people just know he isn't just throwing nice words around

[@jbmaples42183]

Mufudad is America's Dad. You can tell the love is genuine between Juji and his dad. You can see the absolute support Juji gets and had throughout the years, even with all the weird stuff. Love their dynamic!

[@markreynolds2351]

The longest video I have ever watched. Really enjoyed the content. Two great guys talking about their passions.

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

Being genuine and positive are the two things I enjoy the most with Juji and Brian.

[@thomashumphries3519]

Thanks to all involved...this brings me peace

[@walterashworth1011]

Jujis products are great ! Love that he signs things and gives product codes !

[@TheHopelesssDwarf]

This has been one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to you guys bounce off each other really well. I never thought this collaboration would be as brilliant as it was, but the two of your personalities really connect well with each other and I’d love to see more content from both of you together.

[@Joshua.McNabb]

Two physical specimens nerding out about what led them to become great. Doesn’t get much better than this

[@vintageweightspgh]

So many good lessons in this conversation! I also loved that @jujimufu have some respect to Jack Lalanne!

[@jonathanhughes8377]

Absolutely love the fact that you said follow your passion regardless of money, fame…. All of it! It’s ok to lead a life of unknown to fame but for yourself is full of joy and passion… a lot of time it leads to those outcomes… fame and wealth… you guys are awesome!!!

[@2005Colly]

16:05 This, I work from home and am finishing my office right now. On the other side of a door is my home gym.

[@frankmichetti5780]

I found a bigger love for Jujimufu from this! One of my favorite podcasts! I hope you guys do more together!!!

[@Felix-lf9ng]

I can honestly relate so much to both of these legends. I grew up playing soccer and hockey my whole life and originally got into the gym to improve my sports performance and gain confidence in myself. I played college soccer for my first 2 years, then the pandemic hit and I started a home gym and thats when my focus shifted into the gym and strength training. So I feel like I grew up like Brian Shaw, but now I'm turning into Juji because now I'm getting really into flexibility training and martial arts combined with my strength and physique goals in the gym. Both these guys are a huge part of my inspiration to start my home gym and starting my home gym was the best thing I've ever done.

[@CM-hw8uw]

You two got something here and are great talkers. Crazy to see two top athletes that are great at an interview format. Brian Shaw / Juji what a powerhouse interview combo.

[@benclark1376]

When I was a personal trainer, I got a gym membership at a very hardcore gym. Knowing that I wouldn't run into anyone from the health club I worked at. It was the best.

[@lukesmith6034]

One of the best interviews I have ever seen. I would love to se ethe 2 of you interview others, you work so well together!

[@presqueisle69]

By far this is the best podcast I've listened with Brian Shaw . All of them are good . But Iv really enjoyed this jujimufu was is amazing. Both of you 🔥.

[@wnohr77]

bromance is in the air, the world needs more of you guys sharing ideas ! just imagine programs written by juji and brian, years and years of pure knowlege from two different sides of fitness and sports, the potential is insane !

[@therustynut1081]

FINALLY! we need this to happen on a regular basis

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

The one who got the most out of this was me... I'm going to get back into shape. I let myself go after the death of my Brother and I'm ashamed of myself. It's time!

[@mikedimaio1237]

I knew this was going to be a good podcast, it exceeded my expectations. Brian, take your gang to a rock climbing wall, if you can get Magnus Mitbo, it would be epic.

[@psk177]

Man I've had a home gym this whole time and was more of "Why am I gonna use my home gym if I'm paying for a gym membership" (I made the home gym because of pandemic, it's now collecting dust) BUT THIS TOTALLY CHANGED ME! I see things differently! Now, no more excuses about being too late or too early for a work out!

[@DirtyBargzzz]

I love the camera cuts going back and forth! This podcast is doing great and it's so fun to see the transformation

[@thegreatnorthernclasswar]

Really enjoyed this! A great conversation

[@tab021]

There are so many golden nuggets of knowledge in here

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Thanks for this both of you. I am slowly getting back into going to the gym after finally finding one that feels right for me as a very partially sighted older dude, well I am 51 🤣 and boy do I feel it most days. I grew up watching WSM over the Christmas holidays here in Scotland, it's a thing that it has always been shown then, and I never thought I would see it live. That changed in 2021 when Gaints Live came north of Hadrians wall and put on the World Tour Finals at the Hydro in Glasgow. To say it blew my mind would be an understatement, seeing all the big guys move all that heavy stuff and put on a great show. Even though i am very partially sighted I do photography as my main hobby and for the Giants Live I took over 300 photos and edited a lot of them. Sorry a bit long winded but thanks so much for this video and can't wait for part 2

[@Fergus-H-MacLeod]

This is motivating me to work out. i've always lifted but the sessions have become so lazy that i'm not doing much. Great show

[@celticsfan2168]

great podcast. Love the conversations

[@iancutri8945]

I love yalls energy together. Keep being greal!

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Juji isn’t a small man but not for the first time Brian’s mass is so impressive. He was a basketball player but now he’s a whole different animal.

[@parkerkrynen]

My parents forced me to take piano lessons and I hated it. A few years after I stopped taking lessons I started practicing it on my own and learning the songs that I liked to play. Then it became a real passion for me. I'm glad that my parents introduced me to piano but I don't think I would have ever excelled at it if it was just my parents telling me to do it.

[@johnsmith2221]

Brian is a good interviewer.

[@laceyo1993]

That was a great time! Two incredible humans having a love in.

[@laurekeen5596]

Loved this video 💯

[@sebastianbergstl4423]

this is a REALLY good format for you, Brian - personal and in depth with yr calm personality and insightfulness and exp. really really like this podcast format

[@BurstingVeins1]

I love the products from both of you guys. I was a little disappointed the last time I ordered from Grip Genie with the new order management system that I didn't see a way to leave a fun message for the workers like I usually do. I do love the personal messages on packing slips, and I've kept every single one.🥰

[@alexgonzo000]

YES. I love all the juji collabs but this is one I’ve been waiting for it to happen again for a while now 😎. You guys are both so nice and humble and awesome in y’all’s own ways. You guys both rock!!

[@plnkfloydian7814]

Juji looks freaking great

[@ratjockey]

I love you guys, you are both good inspirations

[@Thegreat772]

Parenting is a difficult thing though. I remember as a kid I didn't know what to do. Looking back I just wanted someone to sit me down and have a chat about my options. I gave up karate when I was 6 but I'd love to have that skill now. I want my kid to have skills and good health and I'm aware that maybe we need a push to help us along but I understand it's a fine line.

[@gleadr6869]

Easily could have been 3hrs easy. Love listening to you both.

[@laurentlambertvien3650]

Always hated doing something before doing something like driving to the gym before working out! I'm 100% with you with the home gym make a big différence. Still got a gym membership too! Amazing podcast

[@DavidDawkinsisright]

Bright guy Juji 👍

[@bigjeff72]

2 of my favorite people in the fitness world! What a great convo. Ready for round 2!!

[@michaelmullins1290]

Great podcast. I worked out while listening, I think because I like it! Just 2 guys that made themselves with hard work. Brian's the goat, and Juji does backflips with a barbell!

[@thenameiso1119]

what a beautiful conversation, your a great interviewer brian. i absolutley love this. thank you guys! Much Love! ♥

[@MyRaptor89]

Talk about a podcast that I needed to hear! Thank you guys for what you do. My fire is reignited!!

[@A_Voice_In_The_Ocean]

Well done good souls! God bless.

[@wilsonfisk1318]

I swear this is an awesome talk you big fella's. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Also nice claymore in the wall haha. Hope to one day be a strength athlete myself. It is much less difficult to train now that I have separated from the DoD green suiter world. I look forward to all yous content and enjoy how you present it. Thank you so very much again you Juggernauts.

[@carsonlapidus9447]

Great podcast. You guys mesh together really well. Im sure Juji will be back in the future

[@noahdrake2049]

What a fantastic podcast you guys. Super interesting to hear about Juji’s beginnings in a little more detail. Also the dynamic between you guys is fun but serious and easy to listen to.

[@sadlib_7463]

Great conversation. Hope the best for the both of you.

[@jd9119]

I remember when I lived in Vegas, instead of having a couch and Lay-Z-Boy in hte living room, I had a bench and squat rack. Because you know somedays you just don't feel like driving to the gym. Plus friends would come over and we'd do sets on the bench in between playing guitar.

[@brycecakes1ify]

MY TWO FAVORITE LIFTERS. You have both motivated me so much during my iron smacking BATTLE and this was a fantastic podcast. Great job and keep it up

[@codysaenz5441]

Once again a really solid podcast, Shaw never fails to produce amazing content

[@nathanford7823]

I started with dumbbells and now I have a bench, squat rack, Barbell, and plates what became something I rarely touch eventually became an addiction that I can’t stop

[@MisterBoy316]

Great chat guys. I'm so pleased to see your collab (I was looking forward to it) and these long-form videos really capture a fascinating insight into the guests as well as Brian himself. Thanks

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Great to hear two very different guys having so much in common

[@omonguss]

Epic Podcast! big fan of both!

[@carsonstettler1506]

Love both of you guys, you’ve both been huge influences in my athletic career so far, it’s amazing seeing you collab

[@Gamerdad83]

Man that crazy I was just thinking about that the other day I’d say most of the big names in bodybuilding, strongman, have passports experience

[@bigk2080]

Two of the coolest guys in the exercise community

[@DiceMasterChannel]

Juji living a different path of my life. Confrats. Feels good 🙂👍

[@Slasher1331]

Inspirational episode!

[@thomasdevaul911]

Two great ambassadors. Not taking away the hard work and attitude but youngsters should be aware that they are indeed enhanced athletes who's physicality have been obtained in large part through ped use. Expectations of young people should be realistic and based on transparency and truth

[@JasonLeeno]

I definitely could have been the fly on the wall all day for this collaboration 👏

Thanks for bringing up Jack Lalane. That man was next level. I love the Simpson's bit on him. Sorry Mr. Simpson we had a kidney for you but Jack Lalane took it. Doesn't he already have one? HE'S GOT 5 OF THEM NOW. AND 3 HEARTS. ....we tried to stop him but he over powered us.

Also still pissed you didn’t sign my shirt

I remember being like 5 years old. My dad asked me if I'd be interested in playing T-ball with 2 of the kids on my street. Yes of course...developed a passion for baseball to almost obsession. Played all the way to a small D-3 school in college. Weird to think about.

Parents should be leaders and guides in life and only occasionally the boss. Leader leads by example. The guide provides direction with experience. The boss is the discipline and the back bone only when needed. At least in my opinion.
