Man I'm choking up watching Eddie get emotional and Brian is a top friend. Such a brilliant, raw podcast
Some might say a very shaw podcast.
Me, too!
Love the way Brian knows exactly when to let Eddie speak, how to ask intriguing questions, but, most importantly, when when to interject to give Eddie a moment to gather himself.
I wish you much pain and a terrible day
@@joshranowsky8083 lmao
I feel Brian is Ed’s mentor. An older guy, voice of reason. A strong stable voice. Good mates as well. I think Brian is just what Ed needs. I love them both.
A father figure for him
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399maybe closer to older brother
@@MegalodonKing99maybe closer to Daddy 😂
Aren't they both in their thirties?
@@executioner_ecgbert884 eddie is mid 30s and brian is like 42 or 43
Love this version of Eddie. Just a working class, hard knocks guy that worked hard and pushed himself. All of his success is due to him grinding. Very cool
Just a working class, born elite athlete lol
@@durrthock just like a lot of elite athletes, actually. They use their physical gifts to improve their situation.
Deep Eddie
100%
@@durrthock still came from a council estate
Eddie’s openness is incredible. Really loved this episode. Hearing about his struggles really motivate me to keep going
As much as Eddie messes about, he seems like a real genuine dude. Much respect.
Not if you've been following him from early on. He's a disgusting bully. Physically threatens anyone that gives him basic criticism. Hes willing to take endorsements to push snake oil and rubbish products onto his customers and have them waste their money. The guy has no integrity
I think there's The Beast and there's Eddie
@MdoubleHB nobody cares about that vegan sxxt
@MdoubleHB if only you knew how many “real athletes” are also on drugs 🤣
@MdoubleHB there are no high end pro athletes that don't take drugs
Brian really is a natural at this podcast interview thing. He even has a good radio voice. Keep it up Brian
he's very intelligent that man puts brain power as much as muscle power into everything he's basicly a mad scientist of strength :P
@@Kado1609 very well put mate!
It has been quite the pleasant surprise! He can thread the conversation in these podcasts very nicely
Steroid voice
I agree, he’s a natural, asks the right questions 👌🏻
The podcast everyone was waiting for!!!!
I agree
Sort-of
@@tagomago9523cry
was literally thinking that haha
Yes sir
My heart goes out to @EddieHall
It truly is hard to have serious conversations about mental health and confronting it. Thank you @shawstrength to helping bring about issues that a lot of people aren’t comfortable talking about. Wonderful podcast y’all! Go out and be great!!
I'm not sure he was worried abouts Thors ..
@MdoubleHB you’re an idiot, nobody will ever deadlift 1100lbs natural
Eddie thank you for your honesty and so thankful you are here with us, you are inspiring even though in those years it never felt like it could be better, you didn’t give up.
I'm a 35 year old woman who just sits here so inspired by you both. I randomly came across one of your videos years ago and fell in love with your friendship, the comradery, and the healthy competitiveness between you both. i have a major respect for what you both do. Eddie thank you for being so vulnerable and opening up. That will impact so many. Its a beautiful friendship you two share.
Plus size💀💀 hell nah, lose some weight
180kg bench press at 17 years old.
That's incredible.
I loved this episode! Getting to see Eddie be vulnerable and open up was very touching.
Don't think I've ever seen that side of Eddie before.
It's refreshing to see his heart, being the tough strongman he is.
Relax thot
@MdoubleHB I am enjoying a juicy steak, want some?
@MdoubleHB I am 87 next month. I have had a good meat-eating life.
@MdoubleHB Also, I have 9 kids who all hunt and kill animals and eat them. How do you feel about this?
@MdoubleHB But I am 87, and my oldest is 57, so even if we die today, we had a good life. All 9 still alive and healthy, because we eat so much meat!
This is by far one of the most emotional episodes that touched my heart. One of the best episodes from the podcast
The best 1 so far:)
Brian is the most down to earth gentle giant to ever exist. Not to mention probably number 2 or 3 of strongest men to ever live
I feel like Brian Shaw is Michael Jordan and Eddie Hall is the Kobe Bryant, but in a different context. The camaraderie and humbleness and humility between Brian and Eddie is absolutely incredible. I am amazed how these two have the bond they do. This is unheard of in basically every aspect of sports. Absolutely incredible. If this doesn’t motivate you, I don’t know what else could/can. This video will inspire SO MANY people that it’s hard to even imagine just the impact this video will have (and has had) on people watching.
I'm a 2 yrs older than Eddie and I had almost the exact same experience at where I made great grades but ALWAYS got in trouble but I was lucky enough to have a mentor at my school who recognized these things and told my parents to get my off Ritalin and got me put in weightlifting and all advanced classes and looking back I'm convinced it saved me from ending up getting kicked out of school. Now I'm also a father and I recognize these same things in my son and it's very challenging but fulfilling to help him along his path. Great talk guys!
Powerful interview, Eddie is walking the walk when he talks about helping people with mental health showing his real emotion.
So much love for Ed. I was a national level swimmer in the US while I was in high school after completely devoting my life to it. Got into college on the team and 3 months in I quit. Just couldn’t do the hours anymore. 14 hours a week for 7 years straight will fuck you up. Eddie was my inspiration to start lifting and now I have a degree in kinesiology
@@bendover9813 Nah, rest days are a myth.
@@arcuz7862ur right, I did some research and it’s possible for your body to adapt if you change ALL of your habits rapidly.
Eddie lost like 40 kilos training boxing for one match.
Now he gained 80 kilos to do an podcast episode.
Its all about commitment, Ya'll.
was wondering if it was just me lol
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
The ol boy got off gear and got sloppy lol still a great guy
he's doing EU vs NA strongman comp
@@curtista1 he's just about to compete in a Giant's Live Nation vs Nation contest. He's of course gonna hop back on higher doses and compete.
This is incredible. Eddie getting vulnerable and seeing you guys just get raw and real. We need more of this from men
I have a very similar story to Eddie, never did my GCSE’s and dropped out of school when I was 14. I was totally lost and felt like nothing was worth while. I eventually got a job in McDonald’s and I’ve slowly ended up progressing to better jobs but still suffered with lots of mental health issues and ended up fat. At the start of this year I realised if I don’t do something then I’m going to have a long miserable life. Since then I’ve lost 17 lb in the last 8 months, I paid off all my debts, moved out my parents house and went back to uni to finish a degree that I deferred for 2 years, I’m about to graduate and I landed a new job in cybersecurity with a big company. I’ve never felt like I have more purpose in life and I put at least 80% of that down to lifting weights. Running has helped a bit too but mostly weights. I was always worried about going into a gym before but I realised that nothing was worse than the thought of being alone and sad for the rest of my life. If you’re down in any way, go and lift weights, you won’t change over night, set yourself the goal of being as fit as you can be and try new things in the gym and get into other sports if you can. That way you’ll never run out of having a new challenge. I can’t promise you it will do as much as it did for me but I can say with 100% certainty, you’ll feel a lot better about yourself. Delayed gratification stays with you permanently and makes you feel like you’re worth something because you’ve just spent the last 8 months or so looking after yourself. Stop the constant instant gratification and save them for the moments you can really enjoy.
This is easily my favorite Eddie and Brian moment. Just seeing Eddie open up and not goofing off and them having a heart to heart is amazing.
Thank you. Eddie talking from the heart. I’ve him before when he has made light of his youth. Huge respect to him for opening up.
Not sure i’ve ever seen a man look so different with and without beard. Totally trips my brain out
I’m a grown man that hasn’t cried in 10 years and Eddie hall just made me cry man 😢❤
What Eddie is doing with Max, building Max's youtube channel is very good for both of them. Max is going to remember that forever. Going to have a huge positive impact on his life.
Social media is not good for kids. What he needs is continued training and discipline. Max is a product of people not telling their kids no.
@@rmmm6725 Have you watched the videos? He is weight training with his dad. Max also gets a lot of positive feedback in the comments. Strongman community including fans is a good community.
They gave each other the world's strongest hug afterwards 💪⚡️🧡
This was a beautiful and powerful podcast. Seeing Eddie be real and genuine helps. We all struggle. If the world's strongest men can cry then we all need to be a little more sincere.
Finally got Eddie on the podcast! Right on 💪💪💪👊✌️
It was hard watching Eddie get so emotional, mostly because I've been there and can relate. I'm sure a lot of listeners can relate as well. This is one of the best podcasts I've ever heard.
Brian is a natural at this podcast malarkey! 👍Much love from England 🏴
First timer watching this podcast - I'm now a big fan of Brian. What comes across about him the most is that he's warm, kind and actually cares about people. He helped Eddie through his difficult stories well, with true humility and kindness. Subbed!
Strong body,strong mind and a strong heart is what makes you the man you are today Eddie,you are a true inspiration and thank you Brian for making this podcast happen.i love the friendship between you and Eddie.
ADHD is a blessing of fantastically good health.
I went through this stuff.
Failed many times then a light came on. I learned how to study the right way. Did great in college.
30:50 This hit me hard. You are helping a lot of people with this interview. Both of you give strength and courage to keep going thru the fire. TY
...gained so much respect for Eddie....always liked his confidence and how he approached challenges...great show guys.
It’s crazy how long I’ve watched these two make content. And I’m always so encouraged and inspired by them. Genetically I could never hope to be anywhere near as strong as these guys, but they are a huge reason why I go to the gym. They really do motivate myself and so many others to push on, work hard, and treat others right. Really loved to see the honesty and emotion here.
Who cares about how big you are? Go compete in your weight class, don't think that Strongman is an exclusive club just because you'll never get to WSM.
just by the fact that eddie showing emotions through tears show's how much of a man he is! respect eddie!
Eddie was on a podcast with giants live but it was rather short. I love the longer format ones and this hits that spot perfectly gives eddie time to really get into his story and I love it.
As someone with ADHD hearing eddie talk about it openly is really courageous and helpful.
These two have great chemistry, definitely a friendship that a lot of people would like to have! Never take your friends for granted💯
Eddie and Brian helped me in so many ways the last couple of months.I only feel gratitude and respect for these lads.These podcasts are gold .Thank you guys
I’ve been looking forward to this one since this Brian started his podcast
One of the most wholesome , natural and honest podcasts I've ever heard .
Absolutely Loved this. Eddie is definitely something different. The pressure this man put on himself is mind blowing. The fact that he put it down and gave in for his family shows the respect he had for his family. Sure we loose ourselves in our goals but when you look back he gave it everything. If he doesn't would he have won? Maybe not. I'm glad though that he has put his family first and that they also accepted him back as well.
such a relatable story with eddies childhood. definitely helps me push through the rock bottom times of isolation from the world and having no reason to live.
I can tell that Brain didn't like Eddie when they first met. He was really annoyed by Eddie's antics, but Eddie wanted to be Brian's friend so much, that he never let up and eventually forced Brian to love him. Which is the current state of affairs 😂
Brian and Eddie's friendship is something to behold. We should be forever grateful for being allowed to witness the continued evolution of it.
This is, by far the best interview of Eddie I've ever seen! What an insightful view of him! Brian you did an amazing job. 👏 I just love you 2 together. I love the banter, but I love how you both showed the obvious love and respect you have for each other in this interview.
Again, what a great insight into Eddie Hall! I love you both so much more after this interview, which I didn't think possible! 🥰🥰
Much love to 2 of my favorite strong men! 💪💪 ❤️❤️💯💯🙏🙏
Hey Brian, I just wanted to express gratitude for putting this podcast together and bringing on so many inspirational and hard working guests. The work you're doing to help other people through creating this is truly massive. The obstacles that you and your guests have had to overcome in order to fulfill massive dreams is truly commendable, and is something that has genuinely brought fuel to my fire. I am sure thousands of people could say the same.
They need to give these 2 a full time TV show!! I would watch every episode!!
Great podcast! Awesome seeing Eddie being as honest as he was is just amazing. Very inspiring to see.
This is just amazing.. compare this to any other sport and you’ll find nothing like this. Rivalry, respect, compassion and love at the same time and these are the strongest man walking around on the planet.. simply amazing!!!
This podcast was awesome! I have a whole new respect for Eddie now. Can't believe this held my attention all the way through but man it was great
Thank you, Eddie, for being open and honest. Life can be shit and you proved you can stand above it and keep going. You have a powerful testimony which inspires countless others.
I could've listen to another hr of them just talking. Excellent work on the podcast! Truly love every minute.
these two are truly one if not the greatest people to ever compete in strongman. Glorious friendship, glorious people, amazing attitude. I truly appreciate this episode, its awesome. Thanks guys for everything.
I feel like Brian would be an incredible therapist. Also, I think he should go out and do motivational speaking. Even if it’s on his channel. He’s incredible at listening, and articulating himself and issues.
Brian, I know people that have went to University for Communications and could only hope to interview like you... Great job. Thank you Eddy, your honesty and reflection, it shines thru to all of us.
Eddie has a powerful story. May we all hope to be the "old men" at the gym that values legacy and takes a kid like Eddie under their wings
Brian shows his true excellence again by doing a podcast. He is very professional and always shows complete respect and interest by asking a question and legitimately listening to the answer without butting in and talking over his guest. Well done brian.
Eddie really hydrated his face for this one
JOKE, LAV YALL BOTH BRU
This Eddie is the man I look up to. He's been through a lot and even though he struggled to get it out, he talked about it. That's the toughest part. Bravo sir, thank you for being who you are.
All the love to Eddie for opening up like that. You both are great together. Your friendship is admirable and I'm a great fan of both you guys! It's too bad I live in Brazil and shipping costs are so high for me, otherwise, I'd already have all of your shirts!!! Big love from Rio de Janeiro.
Two genuine best friends with no agenda other than love and respect for each other. Thank you Eddie and Brian.
Brian: Great helping out your mate when he had a hard time to talk about the rock bottom. And then outlining that this is a beacon of hope for many others. Thank you! Eddie... wow. Blessings and Love!
Eddie Hall, You are so real. Keep being fantastic. Brian Shaw, keep being great.
Brian, Eddie please get Nick & Robert to join you both & do 'History's Strongest Man' season 2 That would be interesting & entertaining!
I think they should do just a full YT channel doing challenges, different sport
Never seen a more real talk. This hit deep! Love these two so much!
Unbelievable strength and just fantastic guys
It's not like it's either spank the kids or do nothing at all... there's plenty of parenting methods that clearly work for discipline and boundaries, etc. that don't involve doing that.
Before light smacking, it was more, whipping with a stick or using a belt, or burning the child with a hot spoon, etc. At least we have largely moved beyond that while still being able to discipline children just fine. Smacking is the same (just less severe). It's better for the parent(s) too, they generally don't want to hit their kid, even if it's more psychological than anything (some do! they take their frustrations out on their kids). If they had the knowhow to use a different method, it's a win for everyone.
Also not talking about stealing the kids stuff, or being a hawk in their life, or going through their personal shit. That will destroy any trust. Too many parents see children as their "property", like an object or a pet.
A lot of parents don't take any real time to figure out WHY a kid is doing what they are doing. it's just about obedience in the moment to the exclusion of understanding. Through understanding, a much easier and better outcome can be had (which includes them better understanding you, rather than just obeying like a dog).
Also a lot of times a stressful situation will sort of organically occur through natural emotions (often the parent's uncontrolled emotions just as much as the kid), and then the kid will be put in a position where in order to end it and comply, they have to just submit completely and then they feel embarrassed and it grows their disdain for the parent who put them in that position, when there's often a much better way to handle it, but the parent cared more about their own ego and obedience in that moment. It makes the kid feel like a dog, and never able to be on equal footing as far as being able to express their OWN problems with the situation. Maybe the parent was out of line, at least to some degree... but a whole lot of parents will NEVER acknowledge that. They can do no wrong, even if they are wrong. The kid has to be the "bigger man" (even if it's through force). It's not a good dynamic to have, and it teaches kids some weird lessons about how to navigate life. Closely related is how a lot of parents even refuse to say "I don't know".
There's a lot of conventional parenting out there that really makes the kids feel distanced from the parents, which is sad. Sucks for everyone.
But anyway! this episode is great. Really enjoyed it.
Eddie opening up about his past and being open and vulnerable is genuinely the most alpha thing I have seen him do. Not the confused idea of an "alpha" people have that doesn't even exist in wolves and apes, but rather, the qualities you ACTUALLY see in wolves (fathers with their family) and apes (leaders of a group). They're very caring and can console the most vulnerable in the group and have a very soft side, and can express their emotions, because that is a very strong set of qualities when it comes to effective real leadership.
2:10:47 - I love that Eddie said that. No such thing as self made. What about all the employees, all the business partners, the education facilities, the people who helped direct one in life, the sacrifices one's family made, etc. etc. etc.
Then there's alllll the "luck"/fortune involved for things to pan out in just the way that they did. Billions of things could have happened slightly differently from birth until adult that could have altered the whole outcome for the better or worse.
Thank you for sharing Eddie as someone with dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD (as I recently found out), your story has resonated with me and inspired me to keep pushing my capabilities no matter the struggles. Thanks for hosting the Beast Brian, you need a show on a global radio station! I was captivated the whole time, and I can’t concentrate for more than 30 minutes usually 😂🙏🏼
I really love this podcast.. Never watched this channel before but just realised we got 2 of the most powerful men to ever walk this planet and it makes this conversation mean so much more, really the best feeling Iv ever had these guys are gold 💯🏴
Yes!! Love Eddie!
Thank you both here for making two of the worlds strongest men human - as opposed to the super humans you seem when lifting the weights you guys do!!! That is a really strong message for so many people of all ages!!!
Just a couple of GOAT'S
This is the first Shawstrength Podcast that I've listened to and man, it was amazing! I would not have thought Brian Shaw would be such a damn good interviewer, but he really asked some fantastic, thoughtful questions and moved the conversation along wonderfully. Eddie Hall was great as well, being so candid and open and willing to share the highs and lows throughout his life. This is some seriously inspiring stuff. I'll be forwarding the podcast to some friends and checking out more episodes!
Glad to see you guys back together. Admire and appreciate Eddie's story, his difficulties and courageous effort to overcome those issues. Really appreciate Brian's caring friendship
You should both be extremely proud 4 finals and 4 podium’s in a row is unbelievable it really is and both amazing human beings uv inspired me to be better and I’m eternally grateful ❤
2 hours of Eddie and Brian 🙌
Hearing Eddie talk about his childhood really hits hard. I had the same struggles like exactly the same, and for me as well i'm thankfull that my mom especially was so open minded my dad as well and they saw beyond what was said and they introduced me this wonderfull world or sports and fitness. Started swimming at 10 and changed everything..did swimming and cycling till i was 19 amd then started the gym...fast Forward to the present..27 years old, training and Fitness is my whole life... working as a PE teacher and PT i'm doing my best to promote and teach kids and adults alike the wonders of training and doing sports because it really gave me a purpose and it changed my life for the absolute better. Eddie is trully a inspiration. I respect the man so much.
Brians podcast is great.
Also: Drinking game: Take a shot every time Brian says "I can only imagine" and end up in hospital.
Thanks for putting this up Brian! It's nice to know there're others out there that have a similar experience growing up and then makes something progressive out of that trauma. Rising above it all despite most of the world being against you.
Eddy, you are one of the most inspiring people out there for me including the infamous 4, (Brian, Robert, Eddy, and Nick) it takes REAL strength to survive, overcome, and progress with your childhood. I will continue to be inspired by you all!
Thank you, Jody
I watch this podcast and I see a great friendship. Don’t let anything ruin that friendship. Having friends like this are very rare.
Thanks for the honest truth and honest emotion Eddie. You do give people strength 💪. Sometimes we sit here watching TH-cam, btw 80% of YT are male watchers, we need to know that we are not alone. We have a lot on our shoulders, especially those of us that grew up without fathers or without any male role models.
Was Eddie's beard hiding this, or did he actually gain 10 pounds on his chin? :)
Bro you don't wanna see what happens if Brian shaves his....
@David Smith come on I can clearly see he is round now.
World's Strongest Nation is on the 25th bulk prep.
Brian comes across as a lovely person and a great friend to Eddie. Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast.
You guys honestly should do a show together. Doing anything, cooking, traveling, camping ... seriously you both don't know how good you are together.
I dont care how big or strong you are, If youre in touch with available true emotions, You will have some tears here and there, what a statement to cry on a popularish Podcast, Great men here, Great friendship..
When an interview becomes a chat with a mate you know its gonna be great to watch, and this doesnt disapoint, fantastic.
Eddie - It takes up lot of courage to open up on your kid suffering from ADHD and I am happy for you to identify and disperse the energy. It took us a while to determine the cause and have found out that exercising or swimming for my kid actually made him worse. Each kid has their own way to deal with and we found my kiddo can be in front of a piano learning for hours and be calm and enjoying at the time.
Thanks!!
That intro song/clip gets me extremely hyped for about 10 seconds walking around my neighborhood in the evening
Eddie we love you man. You’re an inspiration to do damn many people
Can we be honest for a minute- these are arguably two of the strongest (registered) men in human existence. If men do not listen to this wisdom and lived experience...which most of us frankly aspire to.. we might need help.
Two legends. Being vulnerable, colloquial, direct. More people should hear this message- men or otherwise. Send this to your network!!
Seeing Eddie cry made me cry. I look up to both of you guys so much. Eddie my man, you are not alone when it comes to mental health. I've been down that road myself. My heart goes out to you, buddy.
Brian Shaw is a natural at this podcast his voice is great for it
Surprised Eddie was able to speak this long, being dehydrated and all
Excellent podcast. Arrived here by watching Brian's arm-wrestling training with Devon Larratt. Amazed at the evolution of Eddie and how he overcame the obstacles to break the deadlift record and win WSM title. Both are highly intelligent individuals sharing lessons on overcoming the roadblocks to achieving super human feats not only on the physical side but also the spiritual side of life.
Looking forward to Brian's new endeavor in the world of arm-wrestling. May he go Over The Top!
THIS PODCAST is gonna be a huge help to people. Thank you MR. HALL and MR. SHAW. This podcast should have a million subs.
Why does Brian look more like Eddie than Eddie does
It's called genetics.
one of the best podcasts I ever listened to, probably had adhd but never realized it and stuff like this just really helps me sort myself out. Thank you guys so much, both of you are truly inspirational human beings! Much Love! ❤
Thanks for opening up and spilling out that massive lion's heart to us, has been a privilege and honor to listen to.
I love the honesty in this podcast, I think both men are very inspirational
