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. 💪🏽
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.
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.
@@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
@@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.
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.
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
@@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. Curious about what makes you think Colin helps brian?
@@joebot9309 Brian has competed at the Arnolds a LOT of times -every year between 2010 and now, in fact and with 7 podium finishes- and he's done WUS, too. How is that not having the balls to show up?
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.
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
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.
What a great addition to this Fridays workday podcast rotation. The two kindest and most admirable giants in the game! Great attitudes all around. I hope I can be as good a rolemodel as Brian for my children in the future.
Brian shaw is the definition of a smart and calculated competitor. Train to win don’t break yourself for the sake of being a showman. The thinking mans strongman. Huge respect
Came a bit late to this one. I get a bit repetitive, but what a nice bloke. It is good to see such credible people representing the sport. Thanks both.
Big loz! I really enjoy these interviews. You have great questions and your experience in the sport is amazing to hear. Passion from everyone on these interviews. Love it man.
@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
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.
The best interview with Brian that I've seen. Excellent way to get sucked into 1:22:25 of screen time instead of training. I was using my grip strength tools while watching. Does that count???
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,
@@steveunderwood8145 exactly. I don't really like Brian Shaw but he's a strongman legend and I love these videos. Liz and Loz working so hard to bring us this great content.
This was brilliant. I’ll admit I haven’t been the biggest Brian fan these past couple of years, but he was really likeable here, enough to make me admit I might have been wrong. Very relaxed and natural. Great work both of you,
@@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.
You ALWAYS bring the best out of the people you have on for these discussions. I really enjoyed this. I’ve still got 15 minutes to go, but thank you both for a great video and for not rushing it. I’ve a feeling you two could’ve talked strongman forever!
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.
Brian is a great speaker and knowledgeable in the sport, huge fan and I believe he is the best along with Z. Loz is also extremely knowledgeable, easy to listen to and his biggest strength is, he let's his guests speak and the conversation has a natural flow. Great job guys!
One day. Maybe when he retires from competing, or at least when he is only competing in the Masters, even though he will still be busy with the Shaw Classic and his other businesses.
Thank you, thank you, thank you I have been waiting for this for a long time. Also you guys chose the perfect day for a strongman talk, because today is my birthday. Thanks again gentlemen.💪
Brian is definitely the most professional strongman on the planet. Most competitors until the early 2000s where just like "Work-out, gets huge, win prize" but he was one of the first to look at it analytically like a sport.
I broke this down into 2 secessions. Brian was very passionate about this interview. You can tell Brian has rolled of of this stuff through his minds numerous times.
Awesome interview Loz, I really enjoyed this one! If there will ever be a governing body for Strongman, I really hope both yourself and Brian would be in it because I genuinely think that the two of you would make the contests the best they can be, both for the viewers and for the athletes.
Finally. Most people subscribed to your channel are probably subscribed to Brian‘s I’m guessing and we have been advocating on both channels you guys need to do a interview with each other. So I’m happy it finally happened
Great interview Loz, I've heard Brian answer that first question, how did he get started, so many times, but he's never gone into that much detail, very interesting
Wow as if I needed any more reasons to like Brian shaw, so refreshing to hear a big celebrity be a down to earth humble guy. And also what a little gem of a channel this is! Loads of awesome videos from Loz
@Big Loz Official is a great guy and class act.. great interviewer, doesn't interrupt, and drives the discussion so fluidly.. great stuff, one of my favorite channels on YT lately
I've been following your career since day 1 Brian. You're a truly inspiration guy. Thanks for all the years of entertainment you've provided us fans with.
Two awesome and honest men of the sport. Brian would say " Great " men. Brian is my favorite strongman. Brutally honest and proven the best ever. These conversations make me lift differently. Thanks Big Loz and Brian.
It's true, logic and reasoning will tell him that. Go win WSM and the ASC on the same year to prove you're still in your prime. He did that twice on 2011 and 2015.
Brilliant interview! I enjoyed every bit of it! Loz, you put up a great show and are truly one of the voices of reason (along with Brian) in the sport! Thank you!
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. 💪🏽
Legend. He is doing so much for the sport.
absolutely. it was worth waiting for!!!
2 of the best!

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

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.
First time I heard someone say that one, Thor was saying it...which in hindsight is funny as heck
@@MollymaukT can't knock on thor for taking a 7 figure paycheck
@@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
Big Z has been saying this for years as well.

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
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.
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.
@Andy Meggers-Lloyd what a load of shite🤣🤣
@@joebot9309 He won the Shaw Classic.
Arnolds: *Changes the stone*
Brian: "And I took that personally"
He has every right, the stones are a legendary strongman event, scrapping it is like scrapping part of strongman

You could also watch ...
1:08:45
Brian: "it's easy to win wsm one time"
Loz: *nods, trying to hold back the tears 😥😥😥
The analogy he said context is everything lol
Its only a matter of time until Big Loz and Liz hit 1 million subs. This channel is getting better and better every week.
Agreed. Two of the hardest working RUclipsrs out there and they deserve great success.
The real question is how does he not have a millions subs already?
@@Patientsolution Takes a while to get to 1 million.
He's growing pretty good. Only had 5k subs 6-8 months ago
He's only got such low subs because he hasn't been featured on Eddie's or Brian's channel.
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.

Pressed like before I even watched, fasted I ever clicked
Brian is a class act!! one of the best strongman ever!!
Could listen to Brian talking about Strongman for hours, so passionate and knowledgeable
Brian Shaw: top athlete top bloke
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.
Well well well, I must take a break from life to enjoy this!
That certainly made my Friday. You just have to like Brian.
What a great addition to this Fridays workday podcast rotation. The two kindest and most admirable giants in the game! Great attitudes all around. I hope I can be as good a rolemodel as Brian for my children in the future.
Finally you got Brian on the shaw
Well done for getting Brian on. Legendary strongman.
Brian shaw is the definition of a smart and calculated competitor. Train to win don’t break yourself for the sake of being a showman. The thinking mans strongman. Huge respect
Brian is so ridiculously humble for the accomplished human he is. To be fair, so are you Loz.
So excited finally an episode with Brian
So great to see Phil and Grant back together.
Jokes aside, an interview I’m sure many have been looking forward to. Great stuff.
I haven't even started the video yet but I've already had my 'No Way, Finally!' moment... so excited for this!!
The moment you drop everything for the interview you’ve been waiting for thank you uncle loz!
Came a bit late to this one. I get a bit repetitive, but what a nice bloke. It is good to see such credible people representing the sport.
Thanks both.
Big loz! I really enjoy these interviews. You have great questions and your experience in the sport is amazing to hear. Passion from everyone on these interviews. Love it man.

This interview gonna light up RUclips!

There you go! Got the big man himself, the ambassador, big Brian Shaw on the show

Finally, this was so awesome to see Shaw on your show Loz! I wouldn't complain had it been twice as long.
WHAT A SMASHING INTERVIEW!!! This was just awesome! You two worked off each other throughout this entire interview. Loved it Big Loz. Cheers mate 🍻
As always great interview! It always kills me to see “ thumbs down” on these.

Yeah honestly for me brian has never come across as anything other than a genuine guy, almost too nice sometimes 😂
Thank you so much. I thought he is too busy to attend. I am so lucky that I was wrong :)
It is nice to have interviews where the interviewer lets the guest really talk. Refreshing!
You ALWAYS bring the best out of the people you have on for these discussions. I really enjoyed this. I’ve still got 15 minutes to go, but thank you both for a great video and for not rushing it. I’ve a feeling you two could’ve talked strongman forever!
OH HELL YA. This one has been in the making for a while and I've been patiently waiting hahah. Uncle Loz gets first priority today!!

Brian needs an autobiography I would love that
Hell yea!
@@matiasjende1993 Awesome idea ! Žydrūnas got a book out already, not sure if the english version is out yet....
One day. Maybe when he retires from competing, or at least when he is only competing in the Masters, even though he will still be busy with the Shaw Classic and his other businesses.
One of the greatest strongmen! Such a nice guy! Cheers loz! Keep those training vids coming can’t wait to see you competing again!
Thank you, thank you, thank you I have been waiting for this for a long time. Also you guys chose the perfect day for a strongman talk, because today is my birthday. Thanks again gentlemen.💪

Took your sweet time guys, but I'm sure it will be as good as all the interviews so far. You keep delivering.
Finally the cosmos has aligned!
I've been wanting this collab the whole time
THE LEGEND!

The big one we have been waiting for
Get in Loz - can’t wait to watch this tonight! Friday night viewing at its best!
I think Brian Shaw is one of the most respectable athletes in any sport, period.
The best podcast interview ever love u guys honestly unreal
Great interview Loz, I've heard Brian answer that first question, how did he get started, so many times, but he's never gone into that much detail, very interesting
Loz gives guests the chance to really speak in depth on things.
Wow, this is a good one, I'm gonna listen to all 1:22:25 of it! Two of the great people in strongman, not only good athletes, but great people.
Great interview! Great to see Brian talking in a relaxed way, and sharing new experiences that I’ve never heard him talk about before
My two favorite strongman youtubers!

Yeeeeeeah great show loz!!!!
2 of the greatest minds in the sport
One of if not the best interviews with Brian, thank you Loz! Loved all the ground you covered.
I hope people appreciate how fantastic of an interviewer Big Loz is. Hard questions were asked. Thanks for doing this.
Love that you referenced the painting straight away! It actually does look like Brian 😂

Tks for the great interview Big Loz....please have more Strong men on!...Take care!
Could listen to Brian all day.

Two Goats one video 💪
People disliking this video are just evil. This is amazing!!
The difference between a dream and a goal is a deadline 👍. Go forth and be strong.
Brian Shaw was about to blow a gasket when he was told he wasn’t the same Brian Shaw of two years ago. I felt his aura through the screen lol
It's true, logic and reasoning will tell him that. Go win WSM and the ASC on the same year to prove you're still in your prime. He did that twice on 2011 and 2015.
Well well well, im going to watch 25mins everyday. I need to savour it
Brilliant interview! I enjoyed every bit of it! Loz, you put up a great show and are truly one of the voices of reason (along with Brian) in the sport! Thank you!
Great interview hands down 2 of the greatest ambassadors for strongman! Glad to see your subscriber number growing well deserved!
These two are awesome - and Brian - damn…. he really puts a positive spin for big men on n WSM.
Superb chat. My favourite video so far. Thanks
Great interview, well done Loz and Brian!
