Mr. Bet-David, please do a sit down interview with Tom Platz. Although he never won an Olympia, Platz is at the top of the list when it comes to the most fascinating and engaging bodybuilders of all time. Also one of the most influential as well.

[@guntertorfs6486]

He's a Holocaust denier. Nothing honorable about that.

[@FloridaManMatty]

Unquestionably the best interview I have ever seen with Dorian. Rogan was really good. London Real was outstanding. This? This is perfection. A very talented, practiced interviewer (which is so much more than simply asking questions) sitting down and discussing a topic with which he CLEARLY has a history and understanding. Add to that a man who was not only the best in his chosen profession in the most competitive era the sport has ever seen, but has matured and gone on to completely destroy the “meathead” stereotype more ways than I can count. Dorian Yates has grown from a troubled boy into a warrior into the wise old chieftain that everyone wishes they could learn from. I have been watching him since 1991 and never have I heard a braggadocious word emanate from his mouth. Dorian either demonstrates through action or steps back and works until he gets it right. He is the living embodiment of what is possible with the right mix of belief in ones self, raw effort, and humility. Absolutely superb 2 hours that I look forward to watching again very soon!

[@soutano11979]

Matthew I don’t really class it as an interview more a conversation about a topic that they’re both clearly passionate about I think that’s why it comes off so good, they just gel together no awkward silence’s at all. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@carynvonblankenburg]

Love you Dorian. Grew up with your poster on my wall and worked out at Gold's SFwhere I first saw you.

[@Cookefan59]

I’d agree that this interviewer is one of the more responsible and respectful, I just wish he’d stop helping the guest answer the question. Drives me nuts when he’s muttering or talking at the same time the guest is trying to answer the questions he just asked them. Maybe it’s his passion for what he’s dealing with. But all in all, one of the best on KZbin and NOBODY is interviewing these kinda guests to the depth he does.

[@MVProfits]

Patrick really knows bodybuilding and the era and it shows. For that aspect, it is the best DY interview. But the London Real movies cover a lot of Dorian's thinking that goes really deep. Dorian mentions at one point he wants to bring his vibrational energy to higher levels to basically get to the higher life form 'next time'. I'm not much into so called "new age" stuff but that resonated with me.

[@journeyman1218]

I don't rate the interviewer. He's very false with his mock reactions to what Dorian is saying. It's quite off putting.

[@Chasetherabbit100]

This is a great interview. Dorian Yates was the top bodybuilder in the 90s when I was a teenager and constantly buying muscle magazines and working out while drinking Joe weider protein shakes. I started working out at 13 years old and even though I've gone a long time without working out, it's been a constant in my life. A few years ago I was working out constantly and dedicated for 2 years straight. Going to the gym 3 to 5 days a week. Then I got an injury at work and was out of commission for 5 months. Right when I healed up the coronavirus hit and the gym's closed down. That took my 2-year dedication completely drug-free and knocked it for a loop. It's so hard to get back into it after that. But this interview with Dorian really is motivating me to get my ass back to the gym and take it seriously again. At 45 years old it doesn't get any easier. But I thank you for this interview and for all the Dorian says in this. Dorian is intelligent, down-to-earth, and honest. And he is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. also as a huge Arnold Schwarzenegger fan since I was a kid, I really liked how Dorian gave Arnold respect for being one of the best, despite Dorian not having the greatest opinion of Arnold.

Great interview. Dorian is a good guy through and through. He trained hard without compromise. But what I admire a lot about him is how he treats everyone on the same horizontal plane.

[@peterjohnson1332]

Every interview with Dorian Yates is worth listening to.

[@rockrebeluk5315]

I remember Dorian coming and doing a "Posing" Show in HULL UK at a nght club called LA's in the early 1990's, This guy was a freak of nature I couldnt believe what I was seeing, he is such an insperational man I love listening to him.....

[@ordinaryguy815]

That’s really cool. The culture in the 90s was so much cooler

[@ewanhill677]

It's cool how Patrick really learns about who he's interviewing before he gets an interview, I've been a bodybuilding fan for over a decade, and Patrick knows some things only a fan would know.

It’s amazing for a guy who has no training in journalism or interviewing Pat has the best interviews anywhere. Like when you ask about Dorian’s make up and drive. Did he get it from birth or was it taught. Those type of insightful questions are ones you don’t see others ask. Dorian was special. Great 2 hours I no longer listen to the radio in the car I just listen to these interviews.

[@bellebeauty67]

Thank you for asking the right questions. This was an articulate, enlightening, informative interview with the masterful Dorian Yates. Outstanding insights into the incredibly sport that is Body Building.

I’m surprised that the German giant, Gunter doesn’t get any love or respect from the bodybuilding community. Looked like a Greek god.

It's because he made Ronnie look small 3 times, so the Weider Jews didn't like that. (and have beef with Germans).

[@alexkocsis7283]

Dorian is the BEST in the business he came from a council flat in Birmingham England and used that anger and madness in a constructive way to become a 6 time Mr.Olympia. He is the best for a reason and I LOVE him for that. I grew up in a similar neighborhood in the states myself so I can relate to his situation. Cheer Dorian on he is successful and earned EVERYTHING he ever has accomplished 99.9% of people in his position would have quit. But Dorian Yates never quit and that's motivational in itself.

[@Irnest]

Dear Patrick, just wanted to say thank you for this interview. It was Excellent!! Dorian was one of my childhood heroes along with a few others that were spoken about. This interview was fascinating, illuminating and so helpful in many areas. You brought out the best in Dorian and asked all the right questions. Congrats. 🎉

Love Dorians assessment of the top 5 bodybuilders of all time, those who stood out is pretty spot on

[@fr-ep4fv]

Dorian Yates was my inspiration and I subscribed to Muscle and Fitness and got the healthiest ever following him and reading about him. He was the most efficient bodybuilder in my belief!

[@QiBoy777]

LOVE this conversation!!!! Had every Muscle&Fitness, Flex, Ironman, even Muscle Media 2000 from about1992-1996, and posters of SerGio Olivia, Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, Lee Priest, Dorian Yates all over my walls as a teenager. Was calculating macros in my head for 2 decades (still do, to some degree). LOVE who Dorian is and how he thinks and his monk-like focus on what he is passionate about! Started watching this and just couldn't stop. THANK YOU Patrick and Dorian..... for this nostalgic trip down memory lane. (p.s. My faves are still Steve Reeves, Sergio Olivia, and Franco Columbu...... but Dorian Yates was the guy whose mind I connected with - the love of Body Building for it's own sake - the science - and the focus.) YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@greenshootz]

Dorian is definitely one of GOATs in bodybuilding and also podcast/you tube interviews- top man!

[@masterperfect9467]

I am seen soo Many Dorian interviews but this is the first time I am seeing Dorian actually enjoying the conversation...

[@alfredalvarez218]

Master perfect , a lot of the guests that are Patrick's podcast feel very comfortable to the point where they are being themselves without being pressured to reveal in honesty what they have to say. One of the main reasons that you can listen in for hours to his guests.

[@baki_sigma]

I was curious when i watched the intro but man i got absorbed by his story, that was fascinating i admire this man.

[@romeorogers9314]

The world will never see another shadow because of social media pressure...I have always wanted to see another bodybuilder like yates who just appears at the Olympia and beat every body and then disappear in a shroud of mystery.

[@fortitude1208]

Romeo Rogers its not about media its about caracter. He is unique. Mental giant. No one will ever do what he done. Try to imagine yourself to trainig in basemant all year and then go to compete few times a year. No way bro, we would all go crazy. He was special.

It's too hard to do what Dorian did. Even the best guys of today won't be able to do that. Dorian was on another level. He was like a monk that could isolate in the mountains for years and not even think about the world outside his.

[@HermannNI]

When I started my interest in bodybuilding, I was always inspired by the icons like Arnold, Frank Zane & Loui but the old the older & more mature I get, the more I realise that Dorian Yates & Mike Mentzer were far more intelligent & have lots more depth than the ones that were pushed to the forefront. Their wisdom just resonates more with me & seems far more truthful. Great interview.
