Big fan of Evan i hope he can get to the final this year at WSM
Met him at the arnolds uk. Most of the guys understandably had enough and wanted to go home. He was still talking smack and having fun with the fans. A great rep for the sport.
He did it man !
Brian's massively underrated as a podcast host. When Evan gets emotional and goes off the rails near the end of this, Brian immediately recognises that he's got to give him a few minutes to pull himself together and goes off on a motivational rant to bring him back into the room. Awesome interview. Hopefully Evan fulfils his potential and wins WSM, if not this year, then eventually.
It is one of the fastest growing podcasts. His demeanor and voice are perfect for it. I’m sure if he continues it and reaches out beyond strongman it can be as big as any other.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 honestly will
I can tell he's getting better at interviewing and there's a noticable difference in how he keeps the podcast moving in a certain direction compared to when he started podcasting
The most important thing, is Brian is listening. He’ll pull out information from 10, 15, 20 minutes ago and bring it back, tying it in to a different thing Evan was talking about.
Hope to see these two in the finals. Stacked line up this year.
Wow - talk about 2 amazing Men. Holy shit what a podcast. So much respect for these 2. Nobody has got ANY excuses after listening to this. If you got a dream - YOU GO OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN! PERIOD!!! I will succeed!!! Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
This is my very 1st pod cast, and all I could think was amazing.
The intro clip is perfect. It’s a rare moment that we see “Evan Singleton the man”, rather than “Evan T-Rex the athlete giving interview”.
Rooting for you Brian I'd also love to see Evan and trey podium this year too
to evan , since both times it was out of your control, technically you are undefeated in world strongest man .
Not gonna lie…. Got a little teary at the end of that one. Papa Bear guiding the cub. Worlds is going to be fire!
Phenomenal podcast for sure. Wishin’ these gentlemen nothin’ but the best @ WSM.
I see Evan in a different light now...Going to be a fan ...Thank you Brian for an amazing talk man ..I enjoy these talks very much
Yeh me too, I've only ever seen his brash, cockey side before, but the way he opened up there was amazing, it took real guts to say what he said about pretty much every part of his life. As Brian said at the end, I hope he can look at what he's been through, and realise he's not quit, he's continued fighting, and is making a real success of himself. Most people would have quit a long time ago. Evan is definitely a real inspirational person, and has just won a new fan.
These damn allergies got my eyes watering. Great stuff guys. Brian Shaw for President!
gonna a be a lifting execetive order
This really was one of the best podcast episodes ever. And that's saying a lot cause there's been so many great ones. That advise you gave towards the end, the story about his first conversation with you at worlds in 2019, to all of his personal things he overcame. I've been a fan of Evan these past few years and even though I heard him talk about some of the stuff before it still hit. It's beautiful to see the beginning years of one man's career with a man whose left a legacy and is coming close to the end of his. Amazing
100%! Awsome analysed!
I watched the whole podcast. And I do have to say I look at Evan Singleton very different now . Great podcast. Love you guys ❤️ ✌️
Thanks Evan for being so open and real.
The fact that Evan went from testing equipment to sitting with Brian talking about the road to come is amazing.
I remember when Bif Lolz's wife had gotten inbetwen some angry giants back stage at giants live...she said that Evan was the first person to stand up and jump inbetween the guys and stop them from fighting. She said that he saved her from getting very hurt. Dude is definitely a stand up guy.
That's quite an inspirational story Evan. Tough exterior, but really good hearted guy inside. I'm looking forward to seeing you at WSM next week! Thanks for sharing your story with us. That took strength being vulnerable like that.
This podcast is so wholesome ! Best of luck to you guys for this year WSM !
CTE is a reality, it can exacerbate underlying psychological issues. Please take care of yourself, Evan.
Ah man it's so great to see how brian takes time "out of the podcast" to talk to evan on a very personal level with advice and all that, and then you can literally see how the tense and frustrated and angry face of evan just lights up ever so slightly. I feel like papa shaw has really been that for evan in some regards as to advice for life and strongman sports. loved it
I'm glad you are still with us Evan.I've faced the void myself, lifting helped me back into the light.
Love that potcast.
What a strong guy evan is. Going through all that crap and all the time finding power and meaning to keep on going. Truly inspirational.
Evan has everything to make a big thing in WSM and he defenetly deserves it.
Also loved brains inspirational speech for Evan at the end. To focus on all that he has in his hands.
So good luck for all of you ❤.
Such an inspiration Evan. When you get on the top of the podium, that memory will fade, whereas all the struggles you have endured will remain. It’s the journey that matters
Evan is my new favorite to win WSM. Well after this years, LOL....Go Brian.
I remember the first time seeing Evan at a Giants Live, jumping around and shouting. I remember thinking "wow, what does this dude think he is".
Never have I been so wrong, and totally misjudged what is just a stage performance. In all his interviews he's so down to earth, and seems to be such an awesome guy. Also, when his competitors are lifting, it's always Evan's voice you'll hear in the background cheering them on, and throwing out encouragement. Awesome.
Yep, I first thought Evan was an ass, not from his size but his intensity in comp. But I found out by meeting him he is a sweetheart and a good man.
I’ve always thought you were an a$$. Nothing changed.
I knew this podcast was going to get real. Great Podcast and I wish you all the best in your career Evan. You're in a good place surrounded with good people and I look forward to watching an amazing career as a fan. Go get it!
It's great seeing these guys come on Brian's podcast and opening up about their struggles. It shows a different kind of strength that should also be admired.
Man, one of the best broadcast episodes ever! Have e complete different view to Evan now, and to many other guests, Nick, for example... And you are the best Host ever, Brian! I can tell you, after the Jujimufu Episode I was going directly after watching it, to my home Gym to lift some weights (never been here for nearly 2 years and everything was ready for Sale...).
Greets from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Brian that was great advise you gave Evan. You can tell he really took that in!
This is why strongman is a good. Freaking love Brian.
Cant wait for Evan to show the world what he has really got at WSM, its going to be an amazing highly competitive comp, I can't wait.
Evan is the ultimate hype man and he is more than capable of getting into the finals. I hope he doesn't have such shit luck this year
Dude that was real and raw. Best of luck to all the guys, but if anyone ever says WSM isn't interesting or good, they need to stay away anyway!
Hard times create strong individuals. Quite the story, good luck to him and the nickname "Walmart Brian Shaw" is forever banished!
Favorite episode so far, Evan is a great personality.
It’s great to see a man’s man/apex predator like Brian being empathetic, communicating openly and non judgementally. Blokes more than ever now need other blokes to talk to openly rather than holding it all the time
Also wise comment too ‘you are enough’. Think he needs to believe that..Shitty parents that neglect you and little attention= spend rest life trying to prove yourself good enough, achieve the impossible just to feel good enough or ‘ok’
Can't express how much Evan's story touched me, I'm super excited for this wsm, all out!!!!
The life story of Evan is insane and what he has to do to get to the point he's at now is inspirational. I think this will be the year that Evan actually gets to perform and show everyone what he's capable of. Good luck to the T-Rex🦖💪
Let’s go!!!! About to munch out before I hit the gym and a new Brian podcast comes out!! Perfect timing!!
Great podcast Evans story is deep.
I suffered from getting hit repeatedly behind the head when I was around 13 years old and had a horrible time remembering things. No one took the time to explain anything to me about what injury I may have. I was told you must have always been like that because I got punched behind at school, an no one wanted to go against the school I attended because it was in the middle of three projects.
I was a big fan of Evan before this podcast but now I’m a super fan haha. The way he has come back from such adversity and still having a great mindset. Looking forward to him giving a good representation of his talent at Worlds
The Shawstrength Podcast is such an amazing podcast that really dives deep into the pain that shaped the people behind the athletes.
Most of the problems in society today stem from peoples inability to deal with conflict and confrontations in a mature manner.
Excellent podcast getting to the heart of the man Evan is. I will be cheering you on Evan. Brian, as ever you are a good decent honorable man. Your support of other athletes is great.
🦖
Appreciate you guys for this podcast. Brian being there for other athletes and helping them speaks volumes. His impact on others is underrated. Evans a great strongman and a good guy. Wishing you all well 👍
35:00 Talking about Bill DeMott, I would think...
Evan being touched by Brian talking to him when he was an equipment tester got to me. Every insecure person is so appreciative of someone acknowledging them and investing time into them. Evan and I share a history of insecurities, never feeling enough, and suicidal tendencies. You learn how to get past those tendencies and define new goals despite your self image and thank God life gives you opportunities to rise above self image.
I never knew about Evan’s Bicep. Battle wound and learning lesson.
Brian is such a supportive person, I love how he poured into Evan from his experience. I truly hope Brian’s leg infection doesn’t impact his goal to win #5! He stated challenges raised him to new heights. I would love to see him win #5 and set so many new records.
Brian’s message to Evan: don’t let past experiences define but refine you! Being a Champion takes a strong mindset. Great to see such powerful encouragement!
🦖
I doubt Evan will ever read this, but I wanted to say it.
As someone who has been almost 500lbs
As someone who's attempted what you did 3 times (not saying the word cause ill get banned)
I lived in my car when I had a drug problem
This podcast is what I needed to hear in my life.
I'm an older dude. 37, I won't be able to compete in this arena. But I WANT to become stronger for myself and to prove to my kids that it's possible.
This interview has lit a fire in me dude. I'm going to push my weak points (i suck at pressing so bad) and not make excuses.
Thank you Brian, thank you T Rex. So much
Hek yeah hope ur doin alright
I’ve respected Evan since I first heard of him, and I never knew much about him. After this podcast my respect for him is immense.
Great interview Brian! Evan, thank you for showing us your personal life and the really tough stuff you faced in your earlier years.
I hated Evan with my whole heart. Until now... Now i wish he becomes next wsm...
Good Luck for WSM Evan.
First the new 1,200 lb table and now shawstrength water. Brian has officially gone next level
Brian your such a great human! This podcast got me.😢
Can’t take impacts to the head due to brain injury…. Slams head into walls to get psyched up…. Got it.
Technically md said back of the head not the front
Interesting and great story. Evan, great mindset after growing up the way you did. You have to rise above those skeletons in the closet. I learned that a long time ago.
🦖
Good interview, but Brian you explain and interupt too much sometimes
Hey Evan if you want to be a better strong man, try being like 5% less savage, maybe wait till your bicep actually doesn't have holes in it before going hard in the gym. Don't put arm chunks on the floor, that's a sentence I never expected to type, genuinely dial back the savage slightly, you know allow your body to properly heal and I think it will pay a bigger return than a few extra training sessions.
Edit, I'm saying this as someone who actually cares for your well being and you ability to perform not as so know it all jerk. Sorry I noticed my original tone didn't convey the care as much as I intended it to.
This vid made me love evan
Very touching podcast. Hope Evan achieves his goals and finds that deeper peace in life. Seeing this side of him makes you really root for him.
Really enjoyed this pod , thanx brian an Evan huge respect to you
woah, brian followed that up perfectly
Oh man...This is going to be interesting. Thanks Shaw. 🦖🤙"
Even gets given so much crap just because of his aggression, people forget this came from his wrestling past, 2020 WSM had a injury during the show, 2021 WSM he had severe food poisoning. Even had tough 2022 also, injured shoulder, had an epileptic shock at WSM not forgetting the shoulder injury he had going into the comp which affected his ability to lift the log properly, even at Strongman Classic, World Open had pull out of comp midway due an illness, then pulled out of Rogue, GL Team Show due to a injury, everyone has a year of struggles. I don't agree with crap he gets. His personality is what we, the UK like. It's entertaining
Thought it was an allergic reaction
It was a epileptic shock. On top had shoulder issue, so he wasn't able to clean the log after the first rep, and usually, he is great for log for reps but just couldn't because of the shoulder
One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to 💪
Don't let your past define you but let if fuel you. I have my ex fiancee's wedding ring and engagement ring combo sitting in a box and when I know I need the motivation to do anything extrermely difficult I take it out and look at it and that self hate can drive me for days.
What chairs are those?
As a 23 year old track and field athlete I can relate to evan a lot. Thanks for sharing your lowest points with us. I know how difficult it is to share your story with mental health as I’ve been there myself. Still struggling today, but now I have an amazing support system around me and my self esteem has skyrocketed when I proved to myself that I can be an amazing athlete despite being short on raw talent. I just got news a few weeks back that my foot injury will probably never fully heal but I’m pushing through. You are an inspiration Evan!
"DON'T LET YOUR PAST DEFINE YOU FT. EVAN SINGLETON"
All of the "fans" in the comments section will be HAPPY to throw your past and their opinions of your lack of achievement repeatedly into your face, Evan.
Great interview as always, new table is looking great too
🦖 big love from the UK Evan dude! 👊
This was probably the best podcast yet, so much respect for Evan and from Brian for pushing him to talk but not pressing him.
Best of luck to you both for WSM
Incredible story and so INSPIRATIONAL ‼️🙏🏻
Brian is such a great listener and motivator
Someone needs to tell Evan that he's not writing "T. rex" correctly, which is funny considering how often he likes to use it - IN paleontology, and in biological classifications in general, the GENUS name is capitalized and the species name is NOT. NEVER. And if you abbreviate the GENUS name you have to use a PERIOD - not a dash. Not my rules, just how it works. SO, T-REX is wrong. It just is. T. rex is right because T. (Tyrannosaurus) is the GENUS name and rex (not capitalized, EVER) is the species name. Just like how we're humans - we're the genus Homo and the species Homo sapiens or, if you short-hand it, H. sapiens.
I'm just saying. Dude even got T. rex fingers tattooed on his hands. He went that far. Might as well spell it right ;)
Also, the reduced digit III on the hand tattooed on him is in the wrong place ;)
As far as the assumption from "normal" people that big, strong dudes are assholes.... I feel it also comes from when people see you it's usually in the gym or on tv or something and all they ever see is that aggressive attitude with your body language and the look on your face. If that's the state of emotion that someone only ever sees you in, then I can see how that is the assumption. This is why I like watching these podcasts. To see them being chill and having good conversation.
I was feeling like this guy. Became disabled from the china bug. Couldnt do it out of fear. Ending it is very scary. Takes big balls.
This was a great one. I always watched it after work, when I was very tired, so it took me about 5 go's to get it done, but I did. And I took something from it. Excuses are futile most of the time. Evan, you're great. Brian, you're the GOAT! Thanks for sharing, guys! Big fan from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷
A couple good men. ❤
I think Episodes like this one can really help people become better. I saw Evan in a few different videos and for some reason didn't really like him, not sure why but wasn't a fan. After watching this and hearing him talk and realizing that it was me who was possibly judging and not allowing someone a chance to showcase themselves before i got to know them, i am a changing person and am now looking forward to seeing more videos with Evan and hope he continues to do well. Big Respect man.
Strange that these guys haven't figured out how the bigger stronger guy is meaner stereotype happened. We all know bigger stronger people are generally nicer than the norm... And people knew that before the last 50ish years. It is propaganda driven. All major media reinforces this and the educational system does too.
I don’t care what anyone says but in my opinion Brian is by far and away the greatest of all time in this sport. You could possibly argue for others on their titles and achievements (although Brian is up there with the best of the best), but for what Brian has done and is still doing for the sport and it’s athletes is unparalleled and will most likely never be equalled. His impact and legacy in the sport of strongman I believe will go down in history. I cannot think of a better way to send off the most influential strongman of our time, than him taking home his 5th title.
Thank god for sports and iron, a lot of us would have turned to drugs otherwise.
Interesting podcast with a beautiful ending both speaking from the heart. Brilliant.
Evan, thank you for sharing and thank you for choosing life! You are important.
I know it’s tough for many men to share vulnerability like this, but it helps with the stigma.
Just for future podcasts, it would be helpful to give disclaimers and also sourcing suicide prevention hotlines even if it’s added after the fact in editing. ❤
Very Moving... Big respect to both of you.
I love brain and Evan hope he will win WORLD STRONGEST MAN
God bless.
Great podcast! Best of luck to you guys!
I'll say my opinion has changed about Evan recently. He's really started showing his humbleness! Keep up the hard work Evan. You definitely will win worlds one day!!
I wrestled in hs and college and I think it's the hardest sport in the world. That mental toughness transfers well I'd imagine into Strongman...go Evan, and good luck at WSM!
Evan, I hope you win a ton of WSMs! However, you may not ever win. It is the journey and you are worth it as a person, no matter the outcome. If it happens or not, you've inspired me. Thank you!
Damn it Evan. You make it so hard to hate on you
Evan has an incredibly inspirational story and tons of potential which I’ve no doubt he will fulfil in the future when his time comes. Really hope he makes the final this year at WSM as he deserves that recognition as he is without doubt a top 10 in the world athlete!
I watch that video of Brian Evan talked about before every single workout, great motivation
