Great podcast shame it’s only an hour long. Love for you two to do a longer podcast next time

[@1969hulk]

No one has a personality, they are too worried about being accepted.

[@GibMcCumber-Fitness-MMA]

Honestly, this is one your best podcast. Phil Heath is a legend and still looks amazing! He articulates himself so well . I honestly have watched this episode 3 times. Usually when I'm training.

[@GibMcCumber-Fitness-MMA]

Get Tom Platz on , he's always in the U.K. That would be an awesome guest with some great insight with an awesome story. Tom Platz,Mike Mentzer, Dorian Yates,Phil Heath , not to mention Arnold , Zane, Coleman. Get Tom Platz or get Jay Cutler. Keep up the great work Brian. I mean it, I am always watching your vids bc I feel like u and I come from the same era and have the same views on almost Everything. Keep it up bro!

[@Iron.Historian]

I always assumed Phil Heath was a bit of a villain because of how he was commonly regarded, but he's actually such an insightful and inspirational guy. Would be great to have an episode with Kai too!

[@nerdmode5210]

I second that

[@valoranttv1856]

He's such a class act tbh

[@unnamed3893]

He's one of my favorite bodybuilders for a reason

So true

Massive respect to Phil for showing this side of him , amazing to see such a giant bloke being so open and honest about struggles 👏🏻👏🏻

Geordies interview style is really great. Not afraid to approach tough topics but also an ability to question in a way that really opens up different sides of people. Really good stuff mate!

[@paulrobinson5171]

Great interview podcast Brian loved every minute of it.

I agree with you, both those looks are insane

Been following TG since World Cup 2014. He has made me laugh (his Roy Hodgson rant euro 2016 is a CLASSIC) feel informed , and always authentic and I appreciate it so much. Keep it up Brother 😅. . BTW its all Love lollll

[@k10007]

so insightful and far beyond what i expected. we always knew the “villain Heath” was a character.. but to understand the behind the scenes makes it all more powerful.

I did bodybuilding over 10 years and started after that with exercising with bodyworkout and still do it. It's interesting to see the professional side of bodybuilding.

[@M555MPW]

Great show. Enjoyed that 👌

[@rockld122]

Phil heath never gets the recognition that other guys guy and it’s acc a crime, he does ALOT for bodybuilding as a sport, is very well spoken and his mindset towards lifting is exactly what bodybuilding needs

[@theworkethic]

Lol. Bodybuilding “sport”

[@mikemurphy6809]

Wow I always thought of Phil differently 😮 what an absolute GENTLEMAN and truly is a great human being🙏 "awesome pod cast big lad" Loving your show bro I can't watch TV because of injuries I have but listening your show is something I look forward to thank you💯🙏✌️

[@MISTERHEALTH.]

The only reason why people didn't like Phil was because of the ego, Kai seemed humble so they sided with him. But it seems the ego has disappeared and he is a really likeable person now.

[@josephbvlogs4398]

He never had an ego it was confident he was portrayed that he had everything and had and ego form generation IORN

[@TheBaBaTV]

No ! Don’t be a gullible sheep like fan boys! Phil never a bad guy villain , it was done on purpose in generation iron to cause controversy! Kai is the real big ego cry baby !

[@martonfitness]

Phil is so smart and I appreciate him so much now when during his reign I was a huge Kai fan. He's right. He made me care. Love Phil!

[@Mannyman348]

Top interview mate.

[@cubencis]

Looking forward to seeing the doc. Was definitely a Phil hater when he was in his peak but I feel like the gen iron video really was unfair and he's grown a lot on me

[@CommandoG331]

Phil's physique is one of the all time greats. Compare it to current winners and theyre light years apart. One of the 🐐

[@johnnyflannigan136]

True... But compared to previous winners like cutler coleman and dorian yates i think he isnt as good.. But thats just my preference i guess. Dude is a legend though

[@CommandoG331]

@@johnnyflannigan136 Not as good as Cutler? He beat Cutler you div. He beats any version of Cutler with ease. And overall he beats Yates too

Excellent podcast brian. This is what we wanna see, real legends of the world.

[@The_Lost_Art_Podcast]

Wow, what a podcast! Thank you Brian for this!!

[@leeoakley9508]

Man, the rivalry between Phil and Kai was legendary. I haven't followed it since.

[@leeholland7547]

One for the best interviews you’ve ever done 💯💯💯💪

[@gruunt4064]

Phil seems to have mellowed and is more himself, people used to hate his personality and the fact he was unbeatable made him seem inhuman, he always seemed to be putting on an act trying to say something profound. yes he can still talk some nonsense but it at least seems the real him

[@teamrgvbodybuilding1772]

As someone who has been to the Olympia several times, seen the post show seminar and various interviews with Phil, he's always been himself. A little more intense at the press conferences right before the Olympia, but he's always been pretty down to earth. At the same time, he's a competitive athlete and was at a collegiate level in sports before ever getting into bodybuilding. I think that's why some people in bodybuilding don't relate or whatever cus a lot of us haven't actually been in other sports, so they're not used to hearing trash talk that is a regular thing in other sports

[@gjproductions999]

Great podcast!

[@richbarsantichannelrichtv_p.t.]

Congratulations,really a great podcast channel man😳🙏🏼

Was never much of a fan of Phil Heath until now. Great interview, Phil comes across as a really genuine guy 👏👏

[@XARIER39]

I would of never in a million years thought I'd be hearing what I'm hearing from Phil Heath! I don't even know how I found this interview. I may remember this for years.

[@zedpancakes9953]

This was class, Brian is such a good interviewer and I hope this video get the recognition it deserves because this is top tier content I hope they continue to get guests on and just let Geordie talk cause that's the reason this podcast was the best to begin with

[@itooflemma]

It’s because he really likes men

[@ampm869]

It is rare to bring someone who is bigger than TG to the show💪

[@acollins929]

TG is fat. I can find 100 people just as fat on any afternoon out at Newcastle. TG has no cardio... he would be gassed just walking up stairs.

[@borgholable]

lets be honest , we all liked kai better and we all wished hed win , but come on phil was just the superior body builder , infact i think phil is one of the top 3 of all time , only one who to really beats him is ronnie and even then he wins for the sheer asthetics that he had in the begining at least . the only reason he didnt win the 8th title was the giant backlash over his turtle belly but he really was killing everyone on that stage condintioning and muscle wise .

[@RMILLSMMA]

What a GREAT interview. What's odd is my take away was a weird feeling of sadness that Phil isn't a father himself... He'd be great. Maybe that's just my weird 'Dad take' on it.

[@smokescreentom]

Brilliant :)

[@darensavy5014]

Top drawer gentleman 💯💪

[@loiteringrambler1268]

the main problem is so obvious: the open guys either do not have any personality or they just never bring it. Then we have this new way of posing the last few years. back when Phil was in his prime 2011-13 the posing for the legs was only about the quads. yeah the adductors shouldnt be lacking but they didnt flare them out like today which makes the legs look horrible. another problem: the classic guys bring it and they mean it. they have the personality, they have the rivalry but also friendly banter you can get behind. even somebody like ramon who doesnt speak english really but he is still involved and present. Then we also have the much better look in classic compared to open class and the posing.

[@Shadman1603]

8:19 This is spot on! Seen it time and time again, people posting stories of themselves at the gym or after a session just to get external validation! Tagging in the gym, just for their story to be tagged. Its a sad world.

[@brickred9078]

That man you talk about missing at 6;30 into the video is Hadi Choopan. The ifbb judges screwed him. He should of beat Brandon 2019 and had 5 titles by now. We have had that man. The judges are just getting it right now. The “torch” passed with 4 wasted mr Olympia 1 offs It’s always been Hadi…

[@TheJGEdits]

It’s not lmao hadi is too old and almost lost to Samson at the Arnold UK, lost do derek at the O The man who was gonna be the guy to catch was Big Ramy but he won his first O too late in his career unfortunately

[@LIVITLUVIT]

Lol ..no its not a 5 "7 hadi block of square injected shoulders meat...im guessing your middle eastern and are obsessed with people from middle East winning? It was the guy from Egypt for like 2 years ..camel crew is over with...its definitely not hadi lol

[@silvestercappel5221]

Phil could win 3 more Olympias now and blow all these guys away..Seriously

[@Plumbhardliftharder]

Open bodybuilding is better than ever. It was awesome seeing a battle between Hadi and Derek the last couple years and not know who was going to win. Kai was great, but he never really came close to Phil in his prime.

[@carlellis242]

Every one has opinions on whose physique was best but for me Phil had the best open physique similar to Flex Wheeler. Dorian was unique and so was Ronnie but just for looking at a physique I think was best Phil was the best but everyone has their own opinion

[@johnbenton6681]

I’ve been trying to tell people that bodybuilding is the hardest sport because of the year round, 24/7 effort that it takes to achieve what you want. There are virtually no breaks. I guess they can’t and won’t understand unless they go through it

People didn't like Phil because he was so unemotional. He was however a very strategic and stoic man. Kai was the opposite but still had drive and ambition. Phil had genetics on his side and his steroid game was untouchable.
