I agree, that would be amazing!

Bobby has such a interesting past, great guest and good episode. Really looking forward for the Shaw classic

Enjoying this interview format, another great guest! I would love to see some of the older legends with Shaw like Magnus, Capes, Kaz, etc.

These podcasts are so motivating to be the better version of yourself honestly I’m always in the best place mentally when listening to these

Bobby thompson gave us a wonderful insight into his upbringing!! Respect is in his DNA!! Huge fan and good luck and stay healthy in future competitions!!!

Brian you should do a design on that table with all your medals or maybe signatures of everyone who’s come on💪🏻

I hope Gabe and Trey hear this compliment about being Bobby's targets. I was a fan of Bobby when I first seen him in the Arnold pro

Excellent podcast! Makes sense why these guys do this sport. It’s not just their size; it’s their mental toughness that’s been calloused by the past

Most enjoyable conversation yet i think. Wasnt a fan of bobby before this as he always seems like a standoffish kinda guy but after hearing his story and the banter back and forth on here and in the gym videos im definitely a fan of his now.

Love this!!! Brian, don't be afraid to express your true opinion on things bro...people will either love or hate you...who cares, you'll do well either way bro. The more real your podcasts are, the more polarizing they will be!! Marine Mike

Triple, he also did QnA at Shaw Club

BROOOO!!! I started following Thompson religiously after I saw him do I think the Arnold as an amateur. On the pro circuit. Dude looked like a swole dude running a game of dungeons and dragons. NOW HE HAS A SHIRT I ALSO HAVE!!! My first comp was at Massenomics in South Dakota. And that was the shirt they gave us haha.

Thanks for these Brian. Always very cosy as well as inspiring to listen to these whilst working from the home office.

I think we should remember Big Z did 4 reps on the 205kg Austrian Oak which is a wooden log and said he did 6 reps at 205kg on a wooden log in training. Even forgetting the training lift it's safe to say he could've matched his max lift on a wooden log at his very best before he got injured.

Your name is worth a mention old coyote

Personally I think strongman should stop allowing suits. its supposed to be about being strong not who can bring the best equipment with them.

This was way beyond expectations. What a fabulous story.

Such a interesting pod cast .. thanks Bobby Brian 🙏

I was really hoping you would do a podcast with Bobby!! Can’t wait to listen!

Great getting to know the strongman athletes!

Every time you come out with a new video and have some new strong man training with you I always look forward to the podcast with that certain strong man

love this. got my morning starting off the right way

Love this!

Been looking for this since I saw Bobby was visiting!

Good ole Virginia guy. My friend did a comp that Bobby was at. Said he was cool, and helpful. Gotta like Bobby after hearing his story. The room is sounding better. Producers choice sound blankets on the other wall would help I think.

Great interview!

I love how those chairs are so freaking huge that bobby looks like he is a 12 year old sitting in his fathers chair

Best one yet

Nice to hear more from Bobby Thompson. I agree that world records might be a little overhyped lately. I would prefer that athletes focus mainly on contest performance and if world records fall within that show, it's just a nice bonus.

Best podcast yet

Please make this available on Apple podcasts!!!

Go team Shaw!!!!

Is this episode going to posted on Apple podcasts? That way is MUCH easier to listen to when I'm supposed to be working.

Just watched WSM 22 heat 2. Very surprised to see Bobby walk off after stone pass with Brian. 🤷🏻‍♂️

great podcast

Bobby is such a cool guy.

Always enjoy these podcasts. Would be very interested to hear from a competitor that wasn't naturally gifted. The story is always that they were good at sports as a kid, always big, deadlifted 300kg the first time they entered a gym etc. Just wondered if there was anyone in the open weight class who didn't have that or is it basically just a prerequisite?

Every pro Strongman is pure talent and raw ability. Not to say they weren't competitive or had a low work ethic, but as soon as you're able to get a pro card, you've already proven that you're built different. There are plenty of amateur Strongman that are also gifted but don't have the drive or time to push that envelope. Everybody that has a name on Shaw's podcast is gifted and talented to the enth degree. No average Joe is getting in here.

I remember someone making a big deal about me having facial hair during the 9th grade, 6th grade is kind of early though. I had a great time both times I went to Hawaii (Ha-va-ii) for my birthday.

Mr. SHAW 🤝

Hello, just checking in. Will this be uploaded to Spotify as well?

Cool video👍💪

I believe the guy he was talking about was Anthony Clark who had the reverse grip bench record.

1:01:45 Had me cracking up

Brian & bobby .

When will this be uploaded to podcast apps?

Bobby Thompson is awesome. Just saying.

You look fresh sir,i love it

Bobby is an interesting guy.

Sleeping on the floor when the air mattress pops...and getting the call..4 wsm...

Nice bideo

Why is this not on Spotify yet?

Has anyone else had trouble downloading this on apple podcast?

You gonna upload this episode to Spotify or what?

Why isn't this on spotify yet

Goh dammit Bobby

A lot of people don't realize that in Hawaii they have a holiday calked "kill a howlei" day.

How come this wasn't put out for audio ?

"I'm a sucker for hard wood" - how did you not pick up on this Brian?

I’m just gonna say it… Bobby is insanely hot.

225 at 14 years old!? i thought i was big when i was 14 at about 165... i didnt get to 225 until about my 20th birthday...what a mutant

You can tell early on in the interview that Brian has his kids in the back of his mind.
