How could anybody not like Brian. Such a likable guy.

[@user-sl4ul4nc3t]

Giants with humility often inspire.

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465]

Not me, I hate kind and humble giants !.

[@brandofowler]

I have 2 autographs in my tiny home gym: Brian's and Jay's. This made my morning. Thanks fellas.

[@CutlerCast]

That is awesome!

[@brandonhoover2120]

You want mine?

[@dylanpritchard4981]

Thank you for giving us 2 hours of Brian Shaw! He deserves all the credit for his hard work. Truly humble and an ambassador for the sport he loves!

[@CutlerCast]

Our pleasure!

[@jeffreyirwin1839]

Jay, you and Brian are two of my biggest (literally and figuratively speaking) role models. The amount of respect and admiration you showed him shows just how humble you are. Your titles and achievements are truly some of the most impactful and largest in the entire world. This was put together so well and it was so cool to hear you guys compare how you grew up and became both so strong willed. Working hard, facing adversity as youths, and both becoming the very best in your respective sports. Two absolute legends.

[@CutlerCast]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@TheVoiTube]

Are you sure we lock these role models? These are pumped up to teeth with gear.

[@lastfirst9829]

@@TheVoiTube he never said anything about “we” he said they were two of his biggest role models. Stop being a troll.

[@rbufacchi]

That was brilliant, honestly. Brian is the nicest person on earth, and someone I’ve really admired. Seeing this conversation was very entertaining and fun. Thank you very much for this.

[@CutlerCast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mattgosling2657]

@SonJohnFill yeah they both seem really nice.

[@Pablo-sr2zx]

Yes 2 awesome champions on a great podcast

So you're telling me you guys don't have to pay gym memberships and everybody else does

[@br6768]

He's nice to people but he's mean to plates

[@joshpointoh]

Brian Shaw is the perfect choice for an inaugural guest on the show. He really is the Jay Cutler of Strong men. The show is always great but they kicked it up another notch on this one

[@CutlerCast]

thanks for listening

[@timothyramponi6921]

​@Cutler Cast im a big fan jay!!

[@WFOKARTER84]

I fully agree with ya. Brian is so damn nice n such an awesome dude. He really is the Jay of strongman. Love both those dudes..

The sheer mass of Big B Shaw never ceases to amaze me. Two great guys. Awesome pod fellas

Brian Shaw is the exception to the rule never meet your heros. Brian and his wife are the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is absolutely my hero and always will be!

[@CutlerCast]

great people!

[@LuongoAdam]

The way these two understand us fans is amazing. We don’t need you. But yes you’re our heroes. Glad you two are down to earth.

Came here for Brian Shaw but left being a fan of Jay Cutler!

Thank you!

Came from Brian's channel to see the longer version. 2 of my idols together. This is awesome!

[@CutlerCast]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@TylerM1887]

Brian mentioned he sews. You know he sews like an absolute boss. Great podcast with two great guys/athletes. 😀💪

[@CutlerCast]

Thanks for that!

[@caseydresselhouse2456]

It was motivating when Jay and Brian were talking about quitting not being an option. I just got a job as a customs border protection officer and as soon as I got the job it became real and doubt set in on how I have no experience with a gun, how will I handle the social aspect of it, etc. Instead I need to just push through and not quit. They will teach me everything in the 4 month training that I am going through and I WILL DO THIS JOB AND BE BETTER FOR IT IF ONLY BECAUSE I DIDNT QUIT!! THANKS GUYS

[@CutlerCast]

Good luck on ya new job

[@heshamaldhahiry95]

Brian makes most people look like minions, he's ridiculously huge lol

[@PatrickStar19872]

I love how Jay's slowly morphing into *Ron Perlman.*

[@theroadtohancockcounty3220]

I have been with Jay Cutler since 2007! I believe Jay Cutler is a genuinely good human being. What really struck me one time is when I was watching a video of him and a fan came up and asked him if he could pay him to take a picture with him. Moreover, Jay in all humility simply stated: I don't charge for pictures, but, sure I will take one with you. I have a lot of respect for a guy of Jay's stature being so humble and down to earth. God bless Jay Cutler for that!

[@meatbasedvegan4859]

Ok Jay. I loved all the episodes before, but being more into Strongman than bodybuilding by a long shot, this is fantastic!

[@CutlerCast]

thank you

[@Spacken3160]

Jay saying i get one box and just questions how brian puts down 4 in one week is just hilarious, love the combination, please do more together!!

Talk about two seemingly super genuine guys who made the top of their sports and not let it negatively affect them in anyway. Great representatives as humans and great representatives for their sports

[@CutlerCast]

thanks for listening

[@spacitycasitysameone5013]

When Jay said he knew about world strongest man before he knew about bodybuilding, that hit me in my memories. I remember watching strongest man competitions on sports centre as a kid on Sundays before for years before I fell in love with bodybuilding.

[@weshervey2202]

It’s always great to watch two GOATs of their sports just talk to each other, you can really tell how they resonated off of each other. This episode will be hard to beat

[@legitgamer7752]

This gonna be a good one! Can’t wait for the podcast jay 💪🏽

[@CutlerCast]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@willthomas5953]

Brian shaw and jay Cutler 2 legends

[@kingklassik3525]

This is a great one two combination for a podcast. I would love to see Brian again and again as a returning guest, maybe even as a strongman/strength consultant.

[@scotthoward6291]

Jay and Matt, it’s so awesome to see you guys having guests now! The coolest thing was hearing Brian discuss the first time he met you Jay and how humble you are. I’m not sure I’ll ever get to but it’s one of my all-time goals just to meet you and have a conversation. Thanks for all you do! You’re an amazing influence for us military guys.

[@BAD-SHEEP-INFLUENCERS]

Here in South Africa they use to show the highlights of WSM on Christmas day. So all the men would take their plate of food and sit round the tv and watch WSM on christmas. I remeber this from childhood.

[@Tom-V]

The one time I have worked out at Gold's Venice was last month and I actually say Jay there . So crazy considering since 2009 I was watching Jay Cutler videos on KZbin. That's when I leaned about eating at least 6 times a day and also started changing up my work out routine. Beginning of my senior year in high school, which was 2009, my max bench was 245 and by the end of my senior year may of 2010 my max was 325 naturally. Awesome to see Jay now with a podcast channel and especially awesome with Brian Shaw as a guest! This will blow up the channel real quick! 💪👍

[@isaacclarke4229]

Both men are very down to earth..

[@EyeMaMoeRahn]

A tik tok comment brought me here. I'm sure a ton of fans don't even know this gem exists. Great podcast

[@kyleroxxx]

The segment on meeting people and having a good first experience rings very true. I have met a lot of famous people and some were absolutely rude and rough to be around. I remember meeting jay a few times and each time he was nice, respectful, and took his time to chat and take a picture. Respect.

[@strongmanupdates7533]

Love the podcast. Thanks for doing it. Brian NEEDS to post some college basketball highlights sometime. I've been following him for years and have wanted him to post some of his old hoops footage forever. Please make it happen!

[@CutlerCast]

Yes!

[@larsosa74]

I’m from Lithuania, so Zydrunas Savickas has been a household name and sort of a hero for me. This is the first episode I listened to, and I gotta say that I truly admire and respect Brian after this conversation. Doesn’t bother me one bit that he has beaten Zydrunas because Brian is inspirational and seems like a great person! He has earned everything he has won and you two also seem great. I’m subscribed and I will be tuning into every episode!

[@CutlerCast]

Respect

[@kevinchung564]

Love that they are both so confident / conformable in themselves, and don't feel the need to compare / compete. Just %100 admiration for each other, both very humble individuals.

Great interview with Brian Shaw! Appreciate your time and humble attitude Jay! God bless you and your family my friend!

[@josealvarez6810]

This was absolutely Amazing! It was fantastic to see both sides of the fitness world finally coming together. To me it even means more than just that though. Jay pulled me out if depression and helped me love me again while Brian is here for me as I'm older and helping me be a better person and mentor for my Family 🤯

Never met Jay but he seems super humble, almost like he didn't realize the caliber he actually is, or atleast how he's seen by us. Love shaw, great content

[@BryanChristopher1776]

Great interview fellas. So much in common between you guys. Hopefully get to see you guys do more interviews and training together.

[@mpigroup4159]

Wow this was amazing to watch this video with Brian and Jay. I was never a bodybuilder or did strongman but I played sports all growing up and worked hard to be a 7 Time World Champion Softball Player and I was just glued to this interview for the whole 2 hours cause the stories and the hard work and respect for each other that each of these guys had was truely awesome and also how kind they were to the people that showed up to see them at their competitions. It's good to know that there are some really good people out there in the world that are high profile athletes that are still good down to earth human beings. Thanks Jay and Brian for your good examples.

[@bigzachful]

Can’t believe I’m just now coming across Jays podcast and never thought to look it up. I never think to look up the guys I looked up to growing up and then years after it being out I’ll come across it. But I guess that just means a backlog of videos to go watch

[@Silver_79]

After watching Brian's video and then Jays, its really interesting to hear him talk about Ronnie. Especially about Ron being the best. I'd agree that when Ronnie was at his peak, he was just something else. However there were a few years that he snuck a win out. I was never really a fan of how Olympia changed into these super mass monsters, but I certainly respect the dedication and the work it takes to achieve that size. The personalities and the way they let us in to what they do (especially Jay and Ronnie) is what kept me watching. I was always a fan of Serge Nubret (had great symmetry) and Flex Wheeler. Anyway, it was great seeing these two sit down and talk. Both icon's in there respective sports.

[@CutlerCast]

Soon 🙌🏽

[@michaelmullins1290]

I wish you guys were closer. This was way to cool. Two of the greatest ever, with so much in common, just talking it over. Amazing.

[@LuongoAdam]

Jay is so good. He literally ask every question one second before I was thinking it. And it’s genuine.

[@Nalu.Emperado]

I remember seeing the magazine covers of the greatest bodybuilders in history like Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates, Lee Haney, And previous Champions even guys that didnt win the Olympia like Flex Wheeler and Kevin Levrone, etc. Same time watching Worlds Strongest Man every January. Seeing Brian Shaw on tv coming up and then winning. Both Jay and Brian came up in a time where they achieved the highest level of accomplishment thru some of the hardest times. The best era of fitness and strength was truly revolutionized by these two Men. The battles between Jay And Ronnie. And the battles between Brian and Zydrunas. Like battles are history and legends still into a totally different way to promote and get recognized globally. Awesome video and cast. Please make more with more legendary figures of strength and Bodybuilding. Thank you Mr. Cutler.

[@RogerLockridge]

I interviewed Brian for BarBend, and he mentioned Jay as someone he paid attention to for business.

I managed to meet Brian at the meet and greet in Sacramento with my newly married wife. We wanted to go to the strongman show and was sad when they said no spectators. So when they announced spectators it was to late to change plans. I was meant to head back to Denver and my wife was heading to Sacramento so we changed plans as I really wanted to see Brian and we got there super early to meet him and he is such a cool guy I was so nervous but he made me feel at ease. Will forever remember that experience and can’t wait to eventually meet Jay in the future! 💪🏻🤔😀
