Talking Strongman with Brian Shaw

[@BigLozOfficial]

A huge thank you to Brian for taking the time for a great discussion. Brian has been THE most requested Talking Strongman guest, and I hope you'll agree he was worth waiting for. 💪🏽

[@19TheChaosWarrior79]

Legend. He is doing so much for the sport.

[@TrueBlindGaming]

absolutely. it was worth waiting for!!!

[@matiasjende1993]

2 of the best!

[@wolf359loki]

This is what i Love about this sport. The Friendly Giants and the way they love to compete but still are all friends. It is a contest between you and yourself.

[@holt2706]

Awesome interview I could listen to hours of Brian! Met him at his seminar and a really cool guy to talk to 💪

[@xprettylightsx]

I’ll say it , why so many people enjoy your interviews??? You do NOT INTERRUPT! You make the show about your guest not your intellect. Well done Mr. Shahlaei.

[@Saskatchetooner]

That’s it precisely!

He is a great interviewer for sure.

“Records can be broken, titles never go away.” Should be the title of Brian’s biography.

@@MollymaukT thor said he cares about titles more- thats why he pursued 3x ASC in a row and his competition dominance the last few years, before going for a big record

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Big Z has been saying this for years as well.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

@@benextinction__144 yes, getting many podiums at WSM and 1 WSM title really drives home the "winning titles over records" statement. He would've wrecked the 2020 field and got another one. His prime is practically unmatched, yet left right after getting to it.

[@erikenqvist9081]

Brian is literally the fifth strongest man in the world. "I didn't have a good contest" Do you realise how ridiculously fucking good you have to be to be able to say that.

[@loneranger5654]

Yeah yeah, only americans are competititve, they have that unique quality. Everyone else just do things for fun. It's not like americans the moment they suck at some sport they lose all interest in it

[@erikenqvist9081]

I think Brian is kinda un-american in that regard. He is very humble compared to many other American athletes that are on a top level.

[@robertcrane1128]

It's just he holds himself to such a high standard. That When we see 5th it may seem not as good. But it's really amazing.

@@joebot9309 what evidence is there that Colin Bryce has ever helped Brian? Genuine question. Brian doesn’t do Giants Live shows, doesn’t get easy groups at WSM and Colin wasn’t particularly complimentary about brian and terry in his commentary last year.

Its only a matter of time until Big Loz and Liz hit 1 million subs. This channel is getting better and better every week.

[@steveunderwood8145]

Agreed. Two of the hardest working KZbinrs out there and they deserve great success.

[@Patientsolution]

The real question is how does he not have a millions subs already?

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

@@Patientsolution Takes a while to get to 1 million.

[@drealboy_]

He's growing pretty good. Only had 5k subs 6-8 months ago

[@phreak761]

He's only got such low subs because he hasn't been featured on Eddie's or Brian's channel.

[@darkkyngaming]

I like how candid Brian is in interviews or on his own channel. Dude doesn’t do anything without a plan, sticks to that plan regardless of whether people understand or like it, and his success speaks for itself. Great interview Uncle Loz.

[@stronghold07ptx85]

If you don’t believe in your own path can you even be successful? A lot of these guys take different routes to the top. I think the ones that believe in their preparation are often the ones to succeed

[@joshuacourtney3870]

Brian is a class act!! one of the best strongman ever!!

[@jimllbreakit8537]

One of your best talking strongman shows to date. You’re a genuinely excellent interviewer: attentive, thoughtful, knowledgeable and honest. WSM and the like should be tripping over themselves to have you working on their shows.

[@alapidge]

This interview gonna light up KZbin!

[@alapidge]

@meow purr oh you mean he’s being himself a top bloke giving us a great chat/interview. Dont think he’s auditioning to be the next host of the late show ffs. If you want it all scripted then maybe try something else

[@jimllbreakit8537]

The thing is, this is a conversation, not an interview. Loz is a strongman, a peer, not a tv show presenter, journalist or fan. He asks great questions, there’s lots of to and fro, good camaraderie, he’s a good listener and balanced... I honestly don’t know what more you want. Sometimes people accidentally talk over each other, especially when talking online and minor sound delays can occur. If you don’t like listening to two people having a natural conversation then you’re probably clicking the wrong video.

[@Saskatchetooner]

@meow purr he’s just being very British.

[@shanegersley4439]

As always great interview! It always kills me to see “ thumbs down” on these.

[@steveunderwood8145]

A video has got to be pretty offensive for me to give it a thumbs down. Or maybe pure clickbait. Anyone who gives these types of videos a thumbs down is just a sad loser. If you don’t like Brian or Loz then just keep scrolling,

Indeed

[@adamrawlifting6933]

@@riselikethephoenix1 it’s nothing major that he did wrong or anything like that. Just a few niggling things over the years, like talking down the WUS feats of strength and making a few remarks about some of the athletes. The problem is that Brian has such a large following, these little comments often result in his fans going over and harassing the other athletes. Not necessarily Brian’s fault, but it’s more about understand your influence, the power of your words and how that might impact others.

The issue of Heats was brought up again, and though I do like that format as a viewer, it hurts the Final from the perspective of length in TV time. You have 5 heats, 1 hour each (5 hours of strongman? Great!), then the Final is also 1 hour?! At least give the Final 1.5 or 2 hours! That would make it feel more in-depth and special, at least.
