Bill is a great storyteller and he would have stories for hours and hours. Here's hoping for a sequel!
Also excellent that you managed to also get a live talk with him, works better than a video call.
Kaz is so interesting, could sit here and listen to that man for hours. One of the best interviews you have done 👍
totally agree and i like his voice... easy on the ears
925 sqaut, 660 bench in the 80s, he was wayy ahead. 90% of strongmen dont have that number
This is absolute GOLD. Let Big Kaz talk long enough and he will talk about telekinesis if you let him. 🤣
Would have won way more than three titles if he wasn't banned back in the day! What a legend! :D
So true. None where as dominant and such raw strength back then. And he would have the record for most time winning for sure
Yeah, wish he wasn't notorious asshole who almost killed his teammate and verbally abused everyone around him, he could have more titles
He probably could have yeah, but it's his own fault they stopped inviting him. He was such a a**hole to officials, fellow competitors, and even fans. Not to mention that he was violent and dangerous and nearly killed a fellow competitor (OD Wilson) . It was a very good choice not having him around. "Four objects were carried simultaneously by teammates up a hill inside a castle and loaded onto a platform. The United States was disqualified in this event when Kazmaier attempted to block Magnusson from getting up the hill. As Kaz bumped into Magnusson, the Icelander lost control of the barrel he was carrying and it fell off a ledge, landing on O.D. Wilson and nearly killing him. He recovered and continued in the competition."
@@russwhaley2618 not condoning this event as I know exactly when you mean watched the footage not long ago, but Kaz was blocking the Icelandic team member as the previous Icelandic guy had tried blocking Kaz’s team mate, so Kaz effectively tried the same thing though more aggressively but ended up with dire almost fatal consequences.
@@jamesprynne1422 yup, two wrongs do not make a right. They're many other competitors that have said he was a jerk, and dangerous. It was his he wasn't around.
Despite the poor tv coverage with your records peddled over to another.
Despite all the set backs and the injuries we never knew about.
You shone through. We all see you, Kaz. You may not have figured out how to move objects with you mind, but you certainly moved the future generations of Strongmen with your heart.
You could take Bill Kazmaier from early eighties and with todays training he would be right up there, so far ahead of his time
You know, one of the marks of a really good interviewer is the ability to let your subject talk, and to find their own space and rhythm. Nicely done. Very nicely done :)
Kaz coming up to my table at the 1999 Mr. Olympia and asking if he could sit down and eat with me was one of the coolest moments of my life. Such a great guy.
Very cool moment !!
Kaz just looked like he was chiselled out of stone and was so far ahead of the competition
I really love the Rogue Invitational set up. So happy you are doing commentary.👍
My favorite interview so far. Loz and Liz bring the best every single time. Kaz is my all time favorite, I could listen to that dude for days.
This was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. An absolute legend 👏 thank you for bringing more of Kaz's story to light Uncle Loz. You're the man 👊
Big kaz has so many stories you could do a 3hr interview and i would still watch it twice 👍
Now I can officially say Thanks for this big Loz!! I love Kaz!! I appreciate this! So happy hearing you at the Rogue invitational as well. Really refining your skills!!
I really enjoyed this one, back in the day when I was a kid didn't like Kaz thought he was a big head. But he's my favorite strongman always find his stories interesting. The numbers he did nearly 40 years ago, 300kg bench. Thanks Loz.
AWESOME interview. Think it's the best one I've ever found of Bill. I think he owes it to himself to spend some time intentionally reliving the highs.
This was so interesting, it was like hearing my grandpa talking about the good old days
Such a great motivated. Kaz is a true legend a also shows how unfair life can be.
Perfect video to watch while waiting between the events at Rogue
Please like this video. It transcends Strongman, and is a lesson of inspiration for others about "Life", and "Inner Strength" made flesh
That was absolutely awesome Loz! Made my day. Kaz is the reason I started lifting as a 13 year old in 1980 and subscribed to Powerlifting USA instead of Muscle & Fitness. Got a chance to meet Kaz at WSM in Bradenton. He couldn’t have been more gracious. Thanks so much for what you do!
I smiled the whole hour and a bit of this interview. What a great interview! I don't care what anyone says about Bill's commentary at the shows, he's alright by me!
That was the most engaging 76 minutes I've experienced in a while - Kaz is such an amazing athlete and has such a sharp mind!
Had time permitted and the questions gone that way, it would have been worthwhile to hear Kaz recount the story of Pure Strength 1989 where he nearly caused O.D. Wilson's death. From the tape of the show, you can see Kaz's guilt and shame when the reporter asks him about it afterwards. If any broadcast moment showed the depth of Kaz's heart, it had to be then.
There's no doubt that the Lord saved O.D.'s life in that moment and humbled Kaz more than anything or anyone else could.
Yet...
"[Kaz] waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto him, and heard his cry. He brought [Kaz] up out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set his feet upon a rock, and established his goings. And He had put a new song in Kaz's mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord." (Psalm 40:1-3)
Well done, Kaz - and thank you and well done, Loz, for your kindness to the world by sharing these interviews!
Bill is the best ever by far! Your best interview ever. Thanks Loz
I say it every time about Kaz, Dave Webster said he was the strongest at the time of (his)
writing. Had he been competing now, I wouldn’t bet against him. Big thanks to big big men.
I could listen to Kaz for hours, thank you Loz for a great interview, knowing when to jump in, and knowing when to let the man speak
That hour and 16 minutes went by way too fast! I could listen to you guys chat for days!
Good Upload Lizzy😃🙌 great timing
Quite possibly the strongest man that's lived, relative to his time. Kaz would have upped his game for today.
Hell yeah lozzy lozbourne. Great interview with a great legend of strongman.
Still so little respect for Jon Pall. Watch the 1987 Pure Strength competition on TH-cam to see how thin and weak Jon Pall was
Yep, he still won't admit jp beat him so many times & jp has 4 wsm titles,
I loved listening to Bill. I could listen to 10 more hours.
Yeah this could easily be a monthly thing and I would watch it!
Would love to see bill and loz interviewing people at strongman events together like eddie hall does now
Great interview, wow, what a journey for Bill, one of the greatest ever 💪💥
#BillKazmaier #Strongman 🦾😎💯🤘👍💪 #GiantsLive #NeilPickup #BigLoz #WorldsStrongestMan
What an insightful and inspirational 76 minutes. Thanks Liz and Loz and of course Mr Kazmaier.
This was amazing! The greatest of all time giving legit insight. Hats off to you, Uncle Loz!
I think he’s right. It would be more interesting to go back in time, when the guys were just naturally strong from hard graft
Sandow, Cyr, Saxon, Alexeyev... he literally named all of my favorite childhood strongmen that I read in a 1976 World Book of Records from my father
Really loved that light shone on the great strongmen of the past, if you haven't already you should read Arthur Saxon's book on strength and muscle building, you'll be amazed how accurate their techniques were over 100 years ago, perhaps in some ways even better! Really fun read :)
@@LambClone I will certainly look into it! I believe that many of the older techniques are far superior because they used primitive ropes and chains and everything was pure raw animal strength. No suits or enhancers.
Me too!
Human strength. Raw human strength. We are our own category.
Wow this is my favourite interview you've done. Really didn't know Bill and just how dominant and driven he was.
Oh and I tore everything. Hes the black knight
Mr. Bill Kazmaier never got the credit he deserved especially here in the US. His story is an inspirational tale to say the least. Legendary.
Imagine if Bill had all the benefits of nutrition and training so many have today? He would have put the ceiling on the limits of human performance.
Inspiring to hear Bill quote scripture as something that helped him focus and find his strength.
Bill is alittle out there...lol
Bill is such a great speaker
I don't understand why when strongmen talk about GOATs, I never hear them mention Magnus or Pudzianowski. Also kind of a slight to Shaw.
Thank you to both of you guys for getting together in a nice spot to do this talk. I would also like to thank both of you for choosing to be strong men with your lives. I've enjoyed following your playing days and your professional commentary after your careers were over immensely. Bravo gentlemen. Job well done!
Fly with the eagles and condors stay away from chicken's and turkey's. Gr8 line from Bill the legend kazmaier. 💪👏
Kaz, the WSM all WSMen want to be !
Loz what a great interviewing skill displayed,exceptional!
What an interview. A truly inspiring man. Kaz is a true legend. I would love to go to his seminar
Bill is a great motivator and without a doubt, my favorite of all the strongmen from over the years! The video was an hour and 16 minutes, but it still felt like it was over way too soon. Hearing his words and the intelligence behind them, not to mention the spiritual side, blessed my soul! Thank you Bill and thank you Loz!
This was a great interview! Fascinating to hear the wild stories from back in the day.
Really loved hearing Kaz talking about God and how just seeing his word influenced him to be so motivational and encouraging to others. Great work Bill. Great work Big Loz! Fantastic interviewer, letting your interviewee speak. Keep up the fantastic work, Both of you!
A true gentleman, hero & legend.
Legend, with lots of stories to tell. Thanks for the interview, Loz!
Loz, wow, what an interview! That was great, nice job with the interview, and thanks for sharing!
This is brilliant. Bill is such an interesting character.
Brilliant interview could listen to kaz for hours could tel Loz loved that interview loved that thanks 👍💪💪
Kaz isn't going to be around forever they need to do more interviews with him.
Always so motivating listening to Kaz. Amazing discussion!
That story about breaking the bench world record with a torn pec and zero leg drive is insane. I have zero doubt now that Kaz is the greatest strength athlete of all time.
Kaz was an absolute BEAST! Would love to have seen him vs today’s greats, especially Big Z, Brian, Matins. Much respect to Big Bill! 💪🏾
One of the best in the world 🌎 I think you mean the best in the world , he would piss it today . Especially with the supplements of today .
Incredible discussion, what a captivating storyteller and legend; great stuff Loz n Kaz
Really cool interview! Always particularly enjoy hearing how people got into strength training and then strongman. Almost everyone seems to just notice that they’re freakishly strong! - pressing 50kg overhead when he was a 50kg 10 year old! 😳💪🏻 - 50kg was my first overhead goal when I started lifting at 33 years old and around 70kg b/w last year! 😄
Hi Liz & Loz,
Magnificent interview! Definitely my favourite and number 1 talking strongman interview by far! I wish Kaz was my grandad & PT! 😂😂
He was inspirational, loved listening about his background and the shit he had to go through in his life, a horrible dad, a tosser of a Teacher, not being invited to WSM as well as loads of injuries! It's amazing what he's achieved and what he's lifted (squat, bench & deadlift). He's truly a strongman legend!
Big thank you for making the video.
Cheers,
Billy
Kaz is my all time favorite followed by Mariusz and Brian Shaw. He's the one that got me interested in strongman years ago.
If you look at the old shows, capes 100 percent British Olympian true and fare play, no juice just look at their bodys capes v kaz
Can't get much better than this 💪
Bill is what happens when a freak of nature does powerlifting/ strongman instead of American football
What a wonderful conversation. These are the moments that immortalize you both, and solidify memories for the rest of us. Thank you so much!
Another Great and fascinating interview Uncle Loz delivers I said it before I will say it again there is no other channel on strongman that compares hearing and seeing you draw it out of past legends and getting the feedbacks from one of the greats himself who has lived it and understands every nuance of the sport.
There is nothing like it you feel every weight and strain with every lift the heat the sweat the blood and the tears as well as the highs. That isles what makes you the best commentator in the game m e proven once again at the Rogue Invitationals strongman games! Thanks Loz and Liz for bringing us this content 👍❤🇦🇺
Keep fighting Bill, your a legend and awesome 👍🏼 interview.
i guess it's generational, but I grew up watching Magnus dominate for years... obviously thor is special, they all are,, i just am programmed to see MVM as the GOAT
Loz is such a beast but hes sto soft spoken and mild mannerd. Big up.
What a man! What a past! What a legend! Amazing man 💪🏼
All these older dudes - Wilhelm, Capes, Kaz - are super salty. Big difference from the almost unbelievable bonhomie of the current crop.
thank you for this interesting discussion guys.
"800 lb bench was likely " your a legend Bill, but keep it real
Oh my God I did not know that Bill is from Altoona Pennsylvania That's where I'm from
Incredible video - Best yet
Great to watch while waiting for dumbbells.
Thanks again Loz. This was really special for me. Love this guy and he was great to watch as well and he knew it. Made it special.
guy did 400 over head without training it and in 2010 wsm, all the guys but big z and Mikayal were done at the 400 mark
If they didn't ban Bill He would have won many more WSM titles. I know they comparisons are different because of the times and events, but Bill in my mind is the greatest.
Awesome interview Loz !! What a machine competing with them injurys !!
He has a inner strength that is unique !! That's Kaz
Bill talked about his training method for truck pulls but i didnt quite get it. Could someone please explain it to me?
As far as i understood, it involved a box and a power rack, but im not sure how he loaded it or how did he perform the exercise
As I understood it, he was basically doing step ups with a barbell on his back while holding the sides of a power rack for balance. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
@@acree90 That makes sense. Thank you.
Dang at 18:28 he was al Bundy before Al Bundy working as a shoe salesman. Who'd a thunk it?
What a great interview Loz and what an inspiring man Kaz is! Valuable life lessons and advice for all!
1:10:22 sad that only 32000 people have actually watched this Bill
Bill's the guy who actually did bench 405 in highschool
Paul Anderson is still the strongest of all time when you combine the big 4
Super interesting interview.
Amazing interview . Thank you 👍👍
yeah it's crazy how you can't be your best even though you are the best, because you have to have great competition to challenge you to push beyond what you think is beyond your limit
Been waiting a long time for this one Loz
Pathetic. Kaz is great just ask him. Was waiting for the walk up hill both ways line
Can’t ever compare with any accuracy but it’s still fun!!
Best interview yet, Big Loz.
Incredible interview! Love you guys
