Pat thank you for finally making this long awaited video ! ! !👏👏👏
Bro, first off, you're probably the best interviewer I've ever seen. Secondly, you're actually putting out some of the best bodybuilding content on the net recently. Thank you! Hope you keep it coming.
PATRICK IS NUMBER 1 PERIOD!!!!!!
One of the best interviews on the channel. What a unique and very open guy
how about arranging an interview with arnold ? would be great !
Ok, I can’t be the only one that thought that’s a hell of an opening
It was.
I wasn't planning on listening to the full interview, but now I'll have to.
Man. I know Porter, I remember that year well.
@@aim6613 he is the greatest
Ya man.. Reminded me of that parrot from Alladin
If you are a true bodybuilding fan, this is an epic interview. Thanks Patrick! Great interview Wayne, welcome back. Good to see you.
Yeah that was great!!!
I've never had any interest in bodybuilding, but this was still one hell of an entertaining interview. Ended up checking out the other ones, but only Shawn and Dorian have enough charisma to listen to.
👍👍
Is it me or this one of greatest interviews in bodybuilding ever? How did such a force of personality remain silent for so long?
Bob Lazar of Bodybuilding 👍😀
great question. this guy needs archives
Please please dont stop these bodybuilding interviews - speaking for all we love them !
Lee priest
Kevin levrone
Jay cutler
they gotta be the next 3 most wanted ones
Lee Priest would be awsome. He has no filter
Heard lee is booked
Lee haney must be a must too
@@realthangedwards3883 True !
Jay is regulary talking in his CZcams Channel we already know everything about his opinions ...
Wayne is a great storyteller with lots of charisma. I was thoroughly entertained fun interview!👍
The passion.
@@threexfromwsg Yeah, I had always heard such negative things about him through the years that may or may not be true but from where I sit behind my computer screen, he seems to be an okay guy. That passion drove him to make the best of a very niche and subculture profession; bodybuilding.
I agree. There should be a movie about this guy, or he should come back for other episodes. He's a super entertaining storyteller, like the Italian guy at the pubc ya know
@@scarlet8078 Yeah I would definitely like to see Wayne back for a part two before the year is out. Also I find that Italians or people in general from up North are great storytellers!
@@arpegio88 only one I've heard negative things from was Shawn Ray wich isn't surprising he talks shit about himself even lol. I listen to alot of Rx Muscle Dave Palumbo, Gregg Valentino, Lee Priest all those guys have always talked about Wayne with respect. All the crazy funny stories from those guys I've been wanting to hear from Wayne for awhile too. Hope he's on more channels and does more stuff like this. He's very knowledgeable and has alot to tell & say yet.
Damn I always thought Wayne Dimilia was the villian of bodybuilding according to shawn ray and some others, but after listening to this interview, Im beginning to change my mind, it really does make sense when people say, its two sides of the story, in this case i can honest to god say i may have misjudged, without knowing real facts. I can also honestly say, I CAN LISTEN TO WAYNE Tell stories all day long, this guy is a damn good story teller, look at patrick, he is speechless and just intrigued listening. GREAT INTERVIEW or in this case, GREAT I WILL SHUT UP AND LET THE GUY SPEAK episode sorta interview :)
Yes good story teller. I need to go to sleep but I still wanna listen.
Shawn ray is an ejit.....nobody listens to him
Describe Shawn : Unhappy! That was deep
BEN GARCIA ...I was thinking the same thing too...brother...Wayne Dimilia to me seems like a straight forward dude...passionate about promoting bodybuilding
BEN GARCIA always two sides and when one side is more quite bc he is content with where he is in life....u know the other side (Shawn and Dave) are bitter.
This is the best bodybuilding interview till now. Love how patrik is quiet and wayne is constantly speaking 😂Patrick's not getting a chance to ask questions 😂😂.
For a change
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
patrick really likes bodybuilding so that was his chance to meet his hero i suppose, id be awestruck if i met my heroes as well.
@@johndowe7003 i agree. I love the passion that i see in this video. And this is pure gold for bodybuilding lovers
Lol no interview, just story time.
I was a vip ticket holder in 2003 my first Olympia. I called Wayne on his personal phone about buying a $650 ticket which was a lot of money for me for a bodybuilding ticket. He spent about an hour on the phone with me talking about that upcoming Olympia. I remember I was so surprised the head of the ifbb would spend that amount of time on the phone taking about buying that ticket. Was Wayne a true dedicated person to that job
I think this is the least Patrick has ever spoken during an interview.
He looks intimidated
He was studying him
@@ejay4032 u gei
Thank god. He normally never shuts up about himself.
...true lol
Wayne: “Mohamed says ‘who do you think we are. In Egypt we drive cars on the street we don’t drive camels.’” Pat: “story of my life”
I am moroccan and i have never ridden a camel in my life i am 38 ℹ
I am also Arabic and never a camel until I came to the states.
It is stereotypical that if you are Arabic, you either have camels , desert , oil or wear Turbans. Most Arabic people don't have any of that.
Steve Reeves the 4th any relation to the bodybuilder? I remember the Epic movies when I was a child. The screen was Texas style out in a Drive-In. That size of a Silver Screen does not exist anywhere in the world. So you can imagine the size of that giant on a screen in the Texas Prairie Cowboy Drive-In
I used to go to school on my camel 🐪 peugeot 206
Wayne DeMilia sometimes has too much to say, but it's probably the most interesting bodybuilding interview on the Valuetainment channel so far. There has been a lot of talk about Joe and Ben Weider, but here we get a direct look into the engine room of the IFBB and although Patrick has to pull Wayne back on track several times, you can see that he is really listening. I hope some of the current people behind Mr. Olympia and other IFBB competitions will take note of this interview.
Yeah, I didn't realize the Weider's were so greedy asking for 2/3rds of the profits.
They lost the type of guy that you should do everything in your power to not let go
@@enrac - are you surprised at all by the Greed! LMAO!!
I KNOW WAYNE PERSONALLY AND I CAN TELL YOU HE IS AMAZING AND HE WAS STILL IN THE SPORT THINGS WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT!!!!...BODYBUILDING WOULD BE MORE MAIN STREAM!!!!!...THATS IS A FACT!!!!
Yea i remember the Mr Olympia would be on late night shows as guests etc.
Hope your feeling better Gregg 🙏
Gregg Valentino Love your book dude. Your articles were always the highlight of MD magazine too 💪🏼
gregoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Greg your from my era brother. Keep those stories alive. The best of and craziest of times
It looks like Pat is cooking up something for Bodybuilding.
true dat
@Danny F. Carroll hahaha yea it does
Next Joe Weider, actually that isn't a bad thing at all
LTgym lol that would be a once in a lifetime interview at this point.
@@LTgym he is dead
His Joe Weider impersonation is hilarious.
“I was like Moses and Robby was my Scepter.” Great story teller.
I died laughing when he said that
I pictured being right there and watching it yes great storytelling
Patrick: So you're leaving out a lot of names...
Wayne: You telling me Top 5. Gotta leave somebody out.
Patrick...
shit is hilarious to me
Patrick, looking for the controversy as always
I respect what he's saying about carrying yourself in a professional manner as an athlete.
Patrick delivering another great sit interview, I’m glad Wayne DeMilia gave his side of the story of what Shawn Ray said bout him now, I hope Patrick gets more bodybuilders and promoters, Patrick get Lee Priest on this show
Lee haney too
And Kevin
Kas58223 dude I know this interview was awesome
Wayne's passiom and incredible detailed memory 40-50 years after his prime in body building promotion. So many great interviews with Italians 🇮🇹. In tradition, story telling is verbal with passionate and detailed and doesn't have a time limit.
Listening to a lot of Bodybuilders from back in the days i had kind of Negative POV about Wayne but after watching his side of the story i kinda feel like he's right about everything he said from Athletes to Stage presentation & Promoting bodybuilding.
XP Gamer yeah your right, and you can imagine the feelings, emotions, of those who came 2nd to yates 6 times, and then its "here we go again" now ronny, so they looked at Wayne to have the judges change what they should judge. Its sport of opinions right, and some of those 2nd place guys were frustrated
@@Jaspauls Getting beaten by a torn up and bloated Dorian Yates is all wrong !
mixalis DeMilia has said himself any of these Should have been given the nod over Yates or Coleman at one time or another later in their reign's, but DeMilia doesn't control the judges. And maybe one who for years wants bigger man, wins. Steve Wienburg, Now they been changing the tune e.g. rohden's win in 2018
How the judges gave the win to dorian again in 97, Nasser was the better guy that day.
Kai should have won against heath once.
Victor martinez should have won against jay.
As reigning champion, favoritism existed more. Now the other categories exist, and bodybuilding is less popular, & arnold voiced bloated guts, they changed the "agenda" view, what they mark on.
I can't believe Wayne Demelia is on this show. Of all the people in bodybuilding. Wayne had dissapeared for twenty years but for some reason I'm more interested in this interview than any other bodybuilding interview. Only Valutainment could think of having this guy on. Well done.
I dont love body building. This man was very Entertaining. And he had some valuable things to say. Thanks David for the interview
Who's David?
@@beseeingyou9120 The Man's name is Patrick Bet-David, For some reason I said David.
if it was 6 hours interview I would finish it in the same day , what an amazing guy Mr DeMilia
Next up..... KEVIN LEVRONE! Dude has stories for days. Most people don't even know he was a super talented singer and guitarist in a band called Full Blown. All while he was competing in the Olympia and winning ass loads of shows.
⁷
Kevin had one of the greatest all time physiques. Dude trained for like 4 months and still nearly won everything. Classy dude as well
Only if he does a Ronnie impression 😉
@@bobbyc87_ haha. Yea its classic
I think he was lead singer. Not sure about guitar.
This is the best Valuetainment show yet. Wayne DeMilia is an amazing storyteller!
If this was Dave Palumbo, he'd be interrupting every 20 seconds.
😀😂😂
kelb89 Dave Smolumbo
Dave is a rat pos snake who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the world
and cackling maniacally like the Crypt Keeper every 5 seconds.
Agreed Dave does butt in like fuk
Wayne DeMilia is Bodybuilding, Great interview!! I could of watched another 2 hours!!
Patrick, that was a memorable interview. It was interesting, entertaining and informative listening to Wayne Demilia. Please bring him back. Great production as well, loved the camera angles and also the pictures of people mentioned. Congratulations, your show is getting better and better.
Wayne DeMilia convinced me in this interview that a great story teller will make a greater salesman.
So many great stories. Wayne’s gotta comeback; this is one of the best interviews
These interviews are great.
The Steve Jobs of bodybuilding.
But hes gay so no
@@imnotyourdoctor8134 who cares
@@imnotyourdoctor8134 so fucking what .?
This has been your greatest bodybuilding interview to date
Wow! Wayne actually cared for the health of the bodybuilders. He's also a very smart man. My ideas of him have changed. I now respect him.
One of the best interviews in bodybuilding!
Respect for Wayne, full of passion
Would love to see Kevin Levrone being interviewed next. Kev trained for 4 months/year and nearly won every pro-show. He really needs the world to hear out his workout routine.
Faraz Mian he didn’t train for 4 months man..don’t fool yourself
He just did a few long cruises but he never stopped training
@@alexisvnc Yea he did, and thats why he got worse every year, never improved !@!! Pics are out there!!!!
Nearly, well he never improved doing so, if he pulled his finger out and trained hard all year round like his early day, he may have won Mr O and many shows!!!
mixalis lol only delusional guys like you believe that shit. He did in fact cruise for 4-6 months twice in his career but that was it. The rest of the time he was training year round and blasting gear year round. He did not win Mr O because he couldn’t not because he didn’t want to or he didn’t put in the work.
@@alexisvnc There are tons of stories from lots of bodybuilders and Kevin himself that attest to that.
Thanks Patrick,We appreciate your bodybuilding interviews.
This interview shows how great Patrick is. He can read off of who he is interviewing and know when to ask questions and when to let them speak.
If Wayne wrote a book about all this and more I’d buy it!! Who else would ? Like if you would buy his book! I bet it’ll be 10,000 pages long! Wow!!!
He should do an audiobook!
This was one of the best and most entertaining bodybuilding interviews I’ve seen on here. Wayne definitely is a self promoter but you can’t argue his passion for bodybuilding and how since he left the IFBB the marketing and growth of the industry hasn’t not become what it was from the 80s-2000s
Definitely interesting to see how bodybuilding has evolved over the years. The golden era days will always be considered the best in my opinion. Classic physiques that will always stand the test of time 💪🏽🤙🏽 Time to get these gains
Wow....Wayne has a memory like no other human!! Thank you for this amazing insight guys!!!
This was by far one of the most enjoyable interviews i've watched on here... big up pat. The next on the list has to be the big man, Arnold.
Nirvana no way he could get Arnold
Brilliant interview. I can’t believe I watched for 2 1/2 hours the time just flew by.
Wayne Demilia always brought the image of Bodybuilding forward. Bodybuilding grew and evolved because of Wayne Demilia. Unlike Jim Manion who damaged the image of bodybuilding.
Verborgene Wahrheit Wayne is a liar
Sharaz Ali
Ok, genius, are you gonna back that statement up with facts, or are you just going to liable him ?
Surely he's the greatest promoter of bodybuilding globally but also has a great talent of storytelling & the best mimicker of Joe Wieder 😂
Patrick is extraordinarily well rounded. Is there no topic he can't communicate about? He is a great listener. He asks great questions, there is no one he doesn't manage to connect with on some level, and he never intimidates. The more I watch his work, the more respect I have for his skill. I'm so glad he is on CZcams.
Patrick's body language contrasts so differently to other interviews. Drank his soda straight from the bottle!
SALUTE to Wayne 💯 he made tons of points in this interview. I like a no bull policy and Wayne wasn't afraid to awnser questions from personal to political and most importantly he challenged the idea.
Now that is passion. Great interview. I could listen to the stories for days. Love the details of everything. Crazy he can remember everything as well as he does.
I've had the pleasure to speak to Wayne a few times. He's definately one of those people if you ever get the chance to talk to listen because he's a wealth of info and as you can see has some great stories to tell.
Man this is the first time i actually watched an entire clip from beginning till end! And i think it has to do with a combination of Wayne Demilia giving straight knowledge and he’s a good talker !
Patrick, thank you for this interview and letting him tell his story. I could listen to him speak all day.
Man this is one of the best interviews I've seen in a while. Thank you so much for this man.
Another piece to the history of bodybuilding. Wayne mentions Robbie Robinson who was one of the greats and a trailblazer of the sport. He also is instrumental in breaking racial barriers in the sport. Please get him on so he can add his knowledge to the history of bodybuilding! Thanks for the great interviews and filling in the blanks on bodybuilding history
Wow there’s very few who can recount a story like this guy!
10 mins in i can already tell this is a fire interview for bodybuilding , pat putting up points !!! Great interview!!
Best interview by far glad you let us have a chance to hear Wayne’s side and his stories!!! Your show is awesome 👏
Thanks for the video Bet-David! I couldn't wait for this interview to be released and I'm listening to it rn
I've been following bodybuilding for 49, almost 50 years. That was incredible! I want to hear more! I've never learned so much about bodybuilding or any other sport for that matter in such a short amount of time!
Excellent!
This guy should have his own podcast
What a great interview and a peek into a legend! Sad that so many have badmouthed him.. thanks to Pat that we got to know Wayne better..
I regret waiting over a year to finally watch this interview! What a great 2 1/2 hours! Best interview I’ve watched about anything!
Keep the bodybuilding interviews coming! This was the best one yet
One of the best interviews I ever watched, heard so much negativity from Shawn Ray about Wayne, after listening to him he’s a extraordinary person in my eyesight, Patrick you should invite him back, Wayne can tell some great stories.
This is the best interview apart from Dorian's that you have done involving bodybuilding.
Been waiting for this interview ANXIOUSLY!!!
Partick, THANK YOU! ,nobody covers the sport of bodybuilding like you. Your interviews are second to none.👏🤙💪
We need him back!!!! I wanna hear so much more!!!! I wanna hear the baseball stories and pumping iron!!!!! Damn! Left us hanging!
That was the fastest 2:32 hours ever. Brilliant interview, Patrick. We need more Wayne DeMillia's in the world. Work ethic, passion, creativity and truth. Thank you. I started subscribing to you when you had Dorian on awhile back.. Thanks for what you do. Gonna go watch Shawn's now. That one I have not seen. Have a great weekend
It's even faster when you listen at 1.5x's speed. Honestly can't go back to regular speed.
Super glad you actually did this interview. It may have just been one of my favorites. Wayne has alot of heart. Big thanks
Patrick, one of the best shows I've ever seen! I learned so much about promoting from Wayne. Please bring him back for a part 2, he has a lot more to say, and we can learn a great deal more about promoting!
This has been One of my Favorite interviews on this channel...and I didn’t even know the guy before he got interviewed. He just got me hooked from start to end 👍
“And this and that” lol
All the years that Wayne has been around the game this is the first full depth interview I have ever seen of him.. and I liked him.. nice interview he comes off very passionate and very human.. his love for the sport and the athletes is so palatable... nice job Pat!
Man, this interview was dynamite!! It was so informative, inspiring and yet still entertaining.
Vince MCMAHON next?
BEST INTERVIEW ON BODYBUILDING SO FAR. You makes my Day. Wayne need to promote ATHLETICON. It's all about BODYBUILDING = CREATIVITY. Great idées baby....💪💪💪💪💪
This has got to be one of the best interviews ever in history of the sport of Body Building, loved it!
This was THE BEST bodybuilding interview EVER! I follow the sport 25 years and this is THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER!
Wayne DeMilia sounds like Peter Griffin from Family guy.
lol facts
🤣
Piiiitaaaa
Lol
OneUnit4f, You "sound" like the lame loser that you are ..lol
Some interviews you did with bodybuilders...this one you did with bodybuilding
Another great interview. Keep up the good work Pat. Outstanding!
Thank you for these videos! Amazing.
i love how he talks so much about this and that
He's giving you all the tips to be a promoter now listen to him and do it! You love bodybuilding💪
Absolutely amazing interview.. I have a much bigger appreciation of Wayne than I did before.. And please PBD.. Don't ever stop doing the bodybuilding interviews.. You have some amazing people on to interview and I actually look forward to who's next..
When Wayne said he was 70 years old I couldn’t believe it ! He looks WAY younger . Also he’s a good storyteller and his personality is just perfect for the business he was in
Wayne DeMilia's voice is like Ledger's in Joker (Dark knight)
It sure does lmao
And he looks like Leonard Nimoy
NY accent.
listening to this interview while training at home
I had no idea there was a bodybuilding series! After watching all of them, this was the most entertaining and enlightening interview on bodybuilder I have ever seen. And I've been following it and strongman for the past 40+ years. I just wish there was more of this guy around! And Patrick is the best interviewer, when the guest is on a roll, you say nothing... AMAZING!
What a fabulous interview... giving a great insight into a banner period for Bodybuilding...
Any youtube vid that keeps me watching for over 2 1/2 hours must be good ! :)
Wayne “this and that” vs Chad “literally”
How many this and that's' do you reckon he outtered?
Literally. So true!!!
Still miss wayne's voice on the mic calling call outs.
How can this guy be so unknown to the public ? Been following bodybuilding for years and never heard an interview of him !
Interesting bright dude with a crazy memory !
Great interview. Thank You Patrick and Wayne!!
*Pat seems very interested in the body building industry*
Mason Samuels well he has many of the recent and bodybuilders of the 90’s on this show
We wanted to compete in mr olympia. It's one of his favorite sport
He wanted to be Mr Olympia when he was 18 and did a couple cycles but very soon he realized the health complications that he would have to deal with (his father had heart problems) so he quit but he still had the passion for the sport.
I believe sooner or later he will be involved in the sport tho
He's not only the Hair Club president... He is also a client!!!🤣🤣🤣
Patrick have you considered interviewing Bill Pearl, 5 × Mr. Universe and TRUE ICON of the sport? He is 92 now, I believe, still trains at 4:00 am, six days a week, and lives here in Southern Oregon.He is thoroughly approachable, charismatic, and engaging. He has fantastic stories of the Golden Era and just a general wisdom that the fans would truly appreciate.
