Hey it's an artist podcast four hundred and ninety six Caroline's comedy club may first, second and third: that's the most dramatic kind of voice I can do, which is probably still because it's a comedy show I'm doing standup Acara lines may first. Second and third, you can go to nurse dot com, slash calendar or you can go to Caroline's comedy website in New York. Coming back to New York may first, second, third, and then at midnight

I think we added a second show, I think, there's an eight and a ten o'clock, I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure who's going to be on the show, but I've heard the name Doug Benson being thrown around so hopefully it was in relation to this particular show at midnight is back this week. We were off last week in a higher this week whenever the daily show on Colbert take a week off we take a week off, we don't ask questions were just along for the ride and then next Sunday is the season finale of walking and talking dead, and, I guess we'll be Andrew, Lincoln who's never sat on the couch before, on our show. We only ever gotten him. You know like pre taped segments, so Andrew Lincoln, Scott Gimple will be our guests for the season finale of walking and talking dead. This episode in his podcast was brought to you by Harry's shave. Company Harris will start because one of the founders Essentia Lee went to the drugstore. The way dudes do divide their shaving implements and realized that the process sucked
everything was overpriced and there had to be a better way. So he said to the internet and that's what they've created they've created an amazing service harry Shave, company online. You will get incredibly high quality blades. These really super sweet german made blades that by the way they love the blade making process so much. They bought the factory this ninety three year old Factory in Germany. They just bought it, so they could manufacture the blades themselves. So they could then pass on those blades savings to you. So you're not going to spend a lot of money, it's going to be a lot less than what you would spend, buying shape kits in a drug store, and it's a great experience. It's a really cool here supporting a good company. One of the founders also helped found Warby Parker. So it's a good group of guys with quality shave stuff that you're going to get delivered right to your door, go to Harrys dot com use the promo code, the Nerdist and here's what they run a free four pack of blades, the first purchas. So that's it. If you need to shave for your job,
love shaving, and this makes me actually think. Oh, I could probably actually shave- I probably could actually shave my face and sky is always saying why? Don't you shave your face, I'm like shaving sucks and she was like you're going to tell me, I'm a woman you're going to tell me shaving sucks and I'm like
well well: well, hey! Let's not get crazy and she's like you, don't come into my house, you're waking, the baby work, your waking, the baby's baby
read what baby a dog. Well, if we got anything okay, you're talking about a dog, but you know if we did get some high quality shaving of what's in Harry's, dot com, a check for it and make it look like a baby.
Where every thank you it's feeding time like a verbal hanky SEC champion, go feed. The baby go shave and feed the words that have never been uttered by anyone. There is job from a code, the Nerdist, the service of theirs, but get this Arnold Schwarzenegger. Who was awesome? I've never seen him talk like at length and and again did know what to expect, never met him before, even though I was in Terminator three. What
hi? They did come up in this by just, but but what a? What a really cool guy Joan and I went out. Matt was out of town gen and I went to his house and there's a really awesome I'll, be out front. That says Terminator on the side we took pictures but are always gracious and funny and and super cool and his movie is out March.
28th, which is called sabotage and Joe Mangonels in it. When Joe was on the podcast before he talked about it and said, or else the best you got to have money going, talking was like how are we ever going on? Arnold had been doing a bunch of internet stuff. Lately he's been pretty active on Reddit, and so we just reached out- and he said yes and I'm glad he did so here we go the nerds podcast, four hundred and ninety six,
arnoldschwarzeneggernowenteringnerdist dot com,
I do
ski golden Retriever mix, which is only about
weeks old, so she's she is,
highly energetic right. Now you creating her you're going to do that. We keep her in
that at night and then
yeah, and I can tell you all about it yeah just like that. I can tell you all about it. Please there's just a trick.
More. You can find them in the beginning, so they don't go.
All over the house to pee the was exactly trained like that
and I block to this area. He is so just stayed here and then he had the place where you could go and
and then eventually good. He didn't do it anymore,
it just goes away within a few weeks. Well, that's
it goes away and the only thing that he does is. I called him Mister Egypt, because,
is. He builds pyramids all over outside the front of the garage mystery solved in a leave leave. So in order to pay me back, he goes
going out there in the field today, give stamping does it right and each one in front of the garage to us in front
because yeah, it's kind of he said, he's paying back kind of yeah. That's just something I like to think that there is a superhero called mystery jobs and it is only super powers that he has a ship's pyramids. Yeah is that you do in this? No I'm, okay, thank
ours is still in the mode of just
still will you still get the excitement piece? So when you come home she just she just can't help but p
she's, so excited for body has to unload everything, so she can start
yeah. Well, my dogs got the Cushing's disease now, which is a pituitary thing where it doesn't know that it's never not hungry or thirsty social. Just so we leave water out. She just drink the whole thing and then just can't hold. It goes
oh, not too, not too common, and it's
every two hours hungry. Very special lady,
very. It is a May
to be in your house this morning, especially because you have a full press day right, you're doing a full press day for sabotage what we are right now in the middle of the promotion for sabotage and- and you know,
This is the LOS Angeles promotion. Yesterday we were up in the Bay area and with the facebook
and then a cuban
San Francisco and
Is screening and I was kind of surprised in the screening and you know talk to the audio
introduce the movie- and you know this,
we do then we go in and the end of the week we're going to go to New York and to do a bunch of things the, including the raw and
WWE wrestling
thing which of course, Elvis they're great buddy,
and they had a lot of times through them, and so
the fun thing in the due to do the movie, but in the garden to let the world know that the movies coming out and that it exists in the because it's so part of the marketing and publicity and all that, are you still good with that's I mean do you like,
you ever just sit down all day and not do anything or do you are you? Are you just acclimated to? I have to go a million miles an hour all the time. Well, I mean not to do anything the muse of fun
yeah. I mean you know that. I think that when we are six feet under, we can do that yeah, but the while we above the ground. I think that I mean to me
when they do
having a mini van reader, interesting script or if I go out and play with the animals in there, which is then talked about Gustav my dog here
uh and a pony
comes into the house- and he starts you know kind of this TED attacking the dog food over there and then pushing it down and eating the dog food. And
then they run around the who's fast out there in the lawn and older stuff, and some
with other animals coming over crocodiles and
tigers and falcons and eagles and the older stuff here this is organizations around it. They they take care of animals,
that uh you know the abandoned or that they were mistreated in the past. Now they pick him up and then they bring them back and in order to keep that
they need money so forth
You know that you did you. Base of the mountain, then become a party and people love to service of
and if you know kind of watch the rock at the move around have you had it. Did this one broken up into the kitchen counter with I don't know if and in he could really. You know always pissed off, because I would take my alligator boots at the end of one of his greatest, and you know you.
Love is. Is this a number good good, really that it was so so you know so, but I mean it's all fun things that I like to go in my tank ride in on to drive to tank. Then you go off to a movie set and to do
movie and then you go off again on the speaking to around the world, and you speak about things that you pass.
The boat and you get paid at the same time. In some things they did did universities it's for free, but the man that you know you get paid and you can talk about the environmental issues, and you can talk about you, your your fitness crusade, give out metal crusade and about the good government.
This is about how do we bring Democrats and Republicans together kind of issue
and you know, how do we get rid it'll keep the special
this out of the the the thing is is out of politics as much as possible and all orders. Because of so all of this to me
is fun to do, but you know
do nothing, I mean you know, we only have so many years uh, I would be bored yeah. Well, you'd, probably get you probably just get.
Sick because I feel I feel like I always get sick when I'm when I stop when I stop
sit down. My body knows goes alright, I'm just going to shut down it's right yeah, but I always feel like I have to keep moving yeah. You gotta get moving and end of life is so exciting.
And I think, if you don't have an exciting life, then I think you can make it exciting, but I think
the more you do, the more you get done, he has
they give something to take care of and make sure that it's getting done, give it a busy
person, why are you ready as a busy person, ended rhythm of being really organized and getting things done? I remember that when I was governor and that was
working in Sacramento from morning tonight. I still got a lot of other things done that add.
For my kids for my family for friends and stuff, like that, I still got them done
I think that the busy
the more you you and you have a chance to get done. The more you lay around and just you know, vegetable lies. You know the more of it that that that the tougher it gets to get anything done. Yeah was it
uh. This is probably an abstract, stupid question, but did you
fun being governor and it was there anything fun because to me, politics feels like- and this isn't going to be a political conversation. But is politics to me feels like
yeah. I have some ideas. I want to make some changes and then you are part of this big system and then I assume what happens? Is you go? It's
really, not that easy to do what I thought I was going to be able to do that sort of idealized version of what that seat of power means. Did you.
Experience that or how did it feel yeah, but remember that
when something is tough. That does not mean that you should be discouraged. No, of course, I said because I think you must be an idiot to go with,
yeah, and not to expect that. I mean this the same thing. If I say I want to be the
strongest man,
I want to be universe. I want to be a power lift. I wanted him to be a champion to that and then it
the Germans. It's should. I have to go, go out, it's kind of a hello. Have you been because if you want to be a world champion in by
we blend weightlifting and Powerlifting whatever or in gymnastics. You have to work at five hours a day, minimum rights at the same Distribute Sacramento when a coop to I did not
I mean everyone knows, and everyone talks always about it, that
if it is a one man show, if you would
you know owning a small company and you the guy,
it makes things happen, you calling the shots, and
using that you want to get done, gets done, but as soon as you have
the corporation in the overboard, then, all of a sudden, you have to talk to the board and if the convinced them and
And then, when you go into the public sector, then,
you convinced now the legislators and if the
just environmentalists and if the commenced, the business community, if they've been convinced the federal government and you have to convince the locals- and you have to convince so many different people to buy into your policy, but everyone knows
that's the process because,
now dealing with public money, I'm dealing with your tax dollars and beat your tax dollars and your taxes. So I cannot just
use it anyway I want to. It has to be by committed the decisionmaking and, of course, many despair committee things don't get.
Done the same speed and a lot of times. Things fall through the cracks and don't get done it all and it's a real struggle, but I knew
Edmonton went up to Sacramento that there will only be a
do. If I'm lucky to get fifty percent of the things done then, or they get done and that's great, if you can get fifty,
and the things done I mean you say everyone goes through. The
to me to me, was I always in to tell people
is it just imagine how difficult it is to be in public life? To get things done, I mean imagine a painter
You know the bingo he says I want to go and paint the starry night.
And the sun was able wait a minute and we really need a forty two by forty two canvas and it can be done compiling the round. Canvases and you know, and then the committee votes, that it has to be around canvas and it's important to do. We have to have a painting about the night about stars community. I love day paintings
the night brings us together and I pray we won't have a day painting and that this is the way it goes over certain we will be the starry night. Of course you would never happen right said, that's exactly the way, diesels in politics. It's it's very difficult, but dead dead. Then you have a vision.
See when I, when he died, a very clear vision. I said California
I will be all about rebuilding California building
Freeways more lanes was cool,
buildings were university buildings more
housing
Sala levies, because most people don't know, we've twenty three hundred miles full full of levees
in the old hundred your deliveries, the visit north, we go so they break and then I'll farming will be wiped out overnight. So I wanted to rebuild and modernize those levees and does it with his suit. I got, went and got Democrats and Republicans together and make a commitment and bring it to the
through through an initiative process and the people vote
women's league, a those
into for rebuilding California. So to me that was a great show
that's. What I wanted to do, because I felt like infrastructure, is so important to a state in the country how fast we move, people and goods.
That's economic power in order, so I got that done, but then again they went back a year later and try to do something else with two other things and they didn't get done
you know, because now I was in this civil war. We can have a Republican, have the kind of a victory and I'll be going to put the brakes.
So then I tried something else, and then we got that again done so I mean
sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. The key thing is
the vision and you go after this vision, and you never did no for an answer.
Because it's been the story of my life, no matter what anyone says, I never take no for an answer. How do you define success well to get things accomplished to do what
but if you do I mean like, is it? Is it
goal oriented or is it process oriented I mean? Is it
define success is well. I went down this path and I got a accomplished some things. I didn't accomplish other things, but it's still successful because I at least
Well, don't you know it's I mean you know. Everyone feels different, that
what it is. A much more a much harder on myself.
Then, maybe most people on themselves read to me
B, then the day of the Mist Olympia, competition. I will be staying in front of the mirror and say how the
this body of a win anything I mean look at this, I'm still need more. Deltas are still need more arms and real good calves, and this is not a perfect. This is often isn't it. As I was that critical in the mean time, you know, I want the Mister Olympia easily. That year,
you know I've always been more critical. Now I think that's what makes me also hungry for more
and never settle for inches? Celebrating the oldest was really great, already did a wonderful job. Now, let's sit back and
celebrate you know I never. I never look back always look forward for the next big thing and so to me I was like I said that was successful. It was very clear when initiatives passed him in the legislators agreed to something that was successful in those things, and
again. There was other things where they did.
I- and it was not successful in
them and getting certain things done the same as with movies I mean you know when the movie goes through the roof, and you make a of the gross
just come in, and everyone congratulates you that the move?
successful, and you also know when the movie goes in the toilet and
tell you both because I've I've had experiences in both
so so you know
what it is, I don't think you can be blind about that. What is it to what is it will help? Where did that? Come because I have some of I have a, I wouldn't say that
I have the same amount that you have, but that degree of oh I'm
critical and I'm never fully satisfied, and sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing, I think it is a good thing.
I think that if you easily satisfied you, don't
those motivated
you know to do be better or to do better. I think that if you beat up on yourself a little bit, then
good you know do do. Do you want to do your show better that you want to do that,
abuse better, that you want to do more research and be more snappy and wine, detaining at the
all the audience in and build a bigger audience, and you have to study all the time. You never can be just sitting there and saying
I think everything is going. Fine fine is born
If you don't want to have things go fine, but we want to have things go through the roof? You mother go and shoot for the stars because most likely will not get there, but you get further up sure
shoot for the stars in the vision for the good of the medium. So I I just think that it's good to do be hungry and to do one more because that's what Dr Cnn yeah and what do you think that
came from because I know I mean
a pretty early age. You I can't imagine getting into fitness
twelve twelve thirteen. Fourteen years old I mean my head just wasn't in
in that place. I didn't understand that type of regimented
so what was it about you that made you never give up got you know, get
every day when it's uncomfortable and push yourself, I had no choice.
It was not like other safety net that that, if things don't work out that there was a
fifteen and then I'm going to be fine and then do something else so to
He was like. I don't want to live in Austria. I don't want
farmer. I don't want to be a plumber. I don't want to be a cop in that order stuff that was there that people did around me. I want
Good America to the land of opportunity said to me was just a question about okay: how do I get there? What is
maybe is through sports. You know, and that is a I big bodybuilding, because you know I have to do it. The right time see this.
The magazine of Guy that was played Hercules in the Movies Ridge Park right,
It was the whole. My whole plan
was laid out right in front of me, because I saw this
is magazine and distorting in Gratz in Austria I picked it up and
just, you know how Ridge Park became Hercules
uh by winning Mister Universe, and so this guy wants three times Mister Universe.
And then he was asked to do this Hercules movies and all of a sudden it was and is in the national kind of business, the movie business he made money.
And he took that his money did he made
build the gymnasium empire in South Africa in order to know they had this wonderful family, beautiful wife and grandchildren- and I said wow look at this like the whole life is laid out here. So
went after that. It felt like this is my opportunity. I, if I do this, I can get to America and sure enough
After one of the second Mister Universe, title with the age of twenty one, I became the
I'm just missed unit was over the age of twenty, then the la they want to second Miss Universe, title and then I got
this invitation from Joe Wieder, who was the publisher
muscle magazines in America and all over the world
this one uh and kind of like the legendary guy that built the party building.
Worth and he sent me a telegram and
as in nineteen sixty eight and is said
congratulations
you will find the into good call my agent, the with the blah blah blah and and I will got to have the ticket
come to America and to train over here and to compete over here. So my
open. My vision, worked out really well
so this is, but it was not so much that I was disciplined B
'cause, it's not really discipline. It's when you have a vision of very clear
what you want to look like, then
You cannot wait to do the
set or the next,
size. So the next rep
because you know that each rep you do in each set you'd in each weight. You lift you get closer to
turning this vision into reality and I
Covington clothes close in closing getting one more muscular,
in Susie Astic about that, rather than I could be
Oh my god, I have to do another two hundred reps ups, all God they have to go back to the gym and another two hours.
Bench present gin ups and rowing and dad
shoulder, shrugs and kind of. I never thought that way. So this is why
the most common thing people always wrote about me when they watch me gym was
that goes miles all the time? Is that, like the other, bodybuilders did look like over cramped in the in the face and Pist off I mean he.
He smiles he's having a good time in the gym, because I did it to me, I was I couldn't wait to go back to the gym into the lift more because the boy a lift them. What
actually do the faster you get them become the champion. Are you a
to apply that principle to things that, maybe you even art as passionate about are you able to find something kind of juicy
in about an activity. If it's outside something
that you actually are really passionate about. 'cause, I'm sure, I'm sure you have to do a lot of things that you don't wouldn't prefer to do
absolutely. I think that the things that you have
really passionate about. You can apply those principles and there's some principles that you can apply to all things. '
but I think that the more you see it clearly like, for instance,
I saw very clearly in the last few
is of competing in Bodybuilding. That.
To become a leading man in movies, not to become an actor but to become a leading person, a leading character, a star, and now this is
Fitch. Does anyone can ever think? Because it's like you know one of these crazy dreams that a lot of people have, but I was absolutely convinced that I was meant to do that.
Maybe there's something will be that Guy Ridge Park who was the Hercules that they felt like he could start here
movies of I could I not become a leading man and do her
these movies or whatever I don't know where it really came from, but I was absolutely convinced and then
started working in movies,
You know I saw that it actually works. My vision works even though
beginning. You can imagine of how many people, you know discouraged me and say,
This is so stupid out. I mean you're the World champion in body, but why don't you go into food supplements or towards men? So we can help you with that or have a health, food stores them or
each in your training methods and the right books and stuff. So you know, but you know that
leading man, I mean there's no one in the history of America that ever has become
leading man with an accent
It won't happen. Americans love like John Wayne and Kirk Douglas in those kind of guys, dead, sea and and
especially I mean with your body, I mean look,
You a two hundred and fifty pounds you know, would develop the meaning of the the the the the the the idols today
eighties Woody Allen
he said Pacino.
You know is it is, it is always small, Dustin Hoffman, those are the there's. A people did a starting the day movies. Those is the people that the people idolize those at the actors to
they want to see in the screen there merikens that totally Americans exist, but not guys like you and bless it be the name Lexi. What's in you know she
A little bit yeah, I can see it already on the poster you have a better chance being governor of California is right exactly, but I mean so that everyone should know, know know that can happen so having a
we have a vision and being passed.
About it, help me with another.
Into that, and it just go forward and do it anyway and it- and
without them in within no time and where there was jungle years who directed cone.
But they are in who said if we wouldn't have Schwarzenegger, we would have had to build one
to visit in the body became a big plus Jim Cameron, a few years later, in one thousand nine hundred and eighty four said if you want
what's was good accent. I mean he taught,
It's actually like a machine.
You know so so I I I don't think we could have really sold the idea of a terminator. You know because he
second machine. You walk cycle machine. He he is the terminator. You know, thank God, this guy had an accident like that says it all,
game over certain orders, things that people said what obstacles actually ended up being
I'm kind of an asset,
realize that that's what was happening or was it just sort of an accident of the fact that you were super focused? I was super focused like I said, because at the advantage of having a very
division, so no I didn't take no for an answer and there was of course,
you can. Imagine the you know stumbling blocks along the way I mean it it. I remember that when it Pressman Fault, you know
writes for Conan the Barbarian and for the other calendar for the whole Conan Series in
We seventy seven and then eventually he sold it to dinner Della renders
I remember that dinner didn't want me at all
Conan. It was because of a previous interview that I had with him about Flash Gordon and he
You come in for Flash Gordon and I idiot right. Instead of-
shutting my mouth, I go in there and
cd, no standing behind his desk and the
This was so enormous. It was one of those italian ornate desk that was like ten feet long.
You know six feet wide. It was one of his partner desk and stuff like that, that beautiful looking
But dinner was only like. I don't know, five
five thousand four hundred and fifty six or something like that, so he only his shoulders and kind of his head and looked like it stuck out there almost like he was sited. He was sitting
I looked at it and then my mouth will write it. I always mouth goes faster than the brain, so I said
oh, my god this is. Why does it?
a guy like you need to enter your in in the in the Dinos is screen dog lie. He looked at me, eyes, open the big and is it to me our
It's about the Negra.
Accent.
I cannot use. Are you flash Gordon? Would you mean accent? I mean listen to you, and so it continued like that right and then he says
a meeting is over
is brushed over the Dino Conti, who was kind of his right hand. Guy, and you know it was a he then, as
it the agent outside the door
was screaming loud, and I mean that whole building must have
you idiot. How could you do
this to Maine. This was exactly one minute and fourteen seconds it was the shortest meaning that we have ever had, because
it's a big mouth,
we're going to learn how to close your mouth.
Forty, we went in there. I do the talking you just be quiet. No, you do blow
kindly comes out? Diarrhea of the mouth is there so he was like it was attacking me viciously outside. I felt terrible, obviously, because he was my chance, maybe maybe play flash Flash, Gordon or whatever. But
we never even got to talk about the character, and that was the end of that. Luckily,
and John Millions signed on to do Conan
He insisted that add to the movie and dinner that
Ok, that's that's a Nager. I don't
I don't like him he's a Nazi, and there is no reason at this embedding, maybe but boy he sees an accident, I'm a nazi,
they would do is going crazy, but anyways a million project with me and and and and and the state on a movie, and we did the movie and
to his credit to dinners credit to three days
into the shooting he came to the said, and he watched the dailies, which is the
Did you shoot kind of wrong? You know at the end and in he came to the set afterwards and he came up to stay as
This does steps step. Son. Remember
will be was shooting this kind of violent hacking. Everyone, a positive so wasn't allowed, was flying everywhere and at the mill and and and and being that the writers will come up. It was it was January, and I remember hit disco this.
We could drink, though his shoulders. He never put his sleeves into the overcoat right. He was always draped over, like very italian right old fashioned.
Mainly just looked up till existence detect this disease in the shorts and Egger come here,
they went to him. This is your Conan
he turned around in the water. It was the greatest compliment you know is that of a given in in what is a disease that did you actually calling on? Is that fantastic God was still kind of shock?
looking at it wouldn't go. Maybe this is. This is like some kind of a movie with so much as band. This is right in front of that was totally a moment ago, but I can't hear you down there, like you, your last moment to really really check it. While this is a new, a z, everything broke that's great and dean, and I became very good friends and he became a mentor kind of like he
it became in the movie world kind of Joe Wieder was in the Bodybuilding and fitness world to Maine. You know was kind of a mentor and some of that they learn from about business and marketing and about training, and
Fish and dinner was about movies in now, because
you really gave me an inside and he always had maybe be part of
he's in the gotiations and that Hard news office many times in the offered me Adam
reviews- and I became very good friends with him and his family with Rafael and all his children and grandchildren and orders
it's why Raffaella his daughter and his
within the Martha Schumacher asked me to.
The eulogy then at his funeral right here, the cathedral and
because he was that kind of a father figure that me and kind of feel like that. You know someone that they're really admired is that did you.
Have a business sensors. That was that. Did it a lot of it come from stuff that he taught you what I think that did you you did? Instincts is
very important. I had an instinct always to be
the premier real
and also had-
but the will in meal was that, no matter what it takes, I will work my butt off, which is, I think, a very important thing that you never look for the easy way.
But just you know if you want to accomplish something- you get the recognize- the fact that you get
gas off and and
so I remember it was ten years old and I grew up at this lake in Austria and there was like
four thousand people in the summer that would around around lake and through go swimming and that they all will be coming to the front that the distal stand.
To get the ice cream and then I said the myself look at this line of people that are standing there and have to go all the way from the back of the leg,
around through the bushes down that they, the hill and down, come to the front to the ice creams.
I said to the guy said: why did give me a bucket and
this ice cream in it. I try to sell it as quick as I can before it melts. I said you know
let me go around you.
Ten chilling
AJ, eleven, and so I
it would sell that
on the Sunday afternoon, from one thousand two hundred to round four,
I would still like one hundred and fifty ice cream right
This is ice. Cream bars,
the
and I made one hundred and fifty shilling, so there was
enough money just to go out and buy a gym outfit or the bison
shoes or something like that in the oil was you know, kind of save up money
My parents didn't buy me a so. There was no money around for any of that. So
You know we we were kind of. My father was a police off
The city was one guy, getting a salary, very
salary, my mother,
did she didn't work? So we really had to go out
to us of the brick ourselves to save money, to buy those extra things that we wanted and
this gave me always enough money. So I was very
the neural to me, there was
no problem to work. Four five hours and Sunday I was getting.
Into running around from one person to the next in the ward is love couples that lying in the Bush is in the making out.
Stuff like that was excuse me excuse me: do you want some ice cream made of ice cream here and hold it up? They said, oh
right by the ice cream and then the then you know give me the money, and that was it, and so I would say, stay for a lot of money. It is suicide, really save money in for the buying. My bicycle save money, then. Eventually, when I was fifteen to get protein powder in the by this,
in milk powder and buy eggs at the
the bye honey at the Hyundai, femme and stuff, like that, so they could make some of the blame them. I and may may protein drinks, which is very important, then to to pay for my fees that that that the bay in the gym and
zone, so I made orders money myself turning ice cream into fitness, but I mean it was almost under preneur, and so when it came over to America, I remembered that I had twenty
seven thousand dollars.
One thousand nine hundred and seventy four saved up through exhibitions and seminars. Did it didn't? You know in those days now
Seven thousand dollars will be ten times as much obviously, but it was I I couldn't. I couldn't wait to invest,
money, and I invested in some Lando in Palmdale because they was supposed to build the supersonic airport over there
uh there's still on this land, because the guy said well they're not going to build the supersonic airport, but
grand children will enjoy this and then it would buy my first apartment building. That remember-
So we don't know me. I
one thousand dollars, because I needed thirty five thousand dollars and then some closing fees and sound and that only twenty seven saved up and
goodbye, this apartment building and I tell you the I bought it for two hundred and four
two thousand dollars and then sold it for
sixty thousand dollars. I didn't take the money
we use the money right away to buy a bigger building in the trade up. So you don't have to
that access it, because
any money on it? So we traded up to twelve unit and then do it. Thirty six,
instant, a one hundred units and then
you know all of a sudden, there was heavy into the real estate business.
And you know, buying up orders, units and
people really. So the thing was
I think in the 70s, when I was not yet a movie,
leading, but it helped me to make this money so that I didn't have to
take in the terrible roles, which is anything because a lot of actors just have to dig anything because they've to make ends meet yeah. I took care of that. Did my money for
Kim from real estate and then
This way, I could just say no turn parts down and only accept the good parts like when I got there.
The role in stay hungry to work with Jeff Bridges and Sally fields. There was one of the three
meeting people in the movie that I could accept or when we did, the documentary pumping on
or streets of San Francisco or the bay in a villain with Kirk Douglas and Ann Margaret, so
complete the handsome stranger in and those kind of pause to build. Miss
up to the Conan Roland, eventually to the terminator and predator.
Of those kind of things, so I had really
digitally broke, but it helped me
financially independent, yeah that and and and and being able to you know
the be a million, the a
two twenty five already. What's that that there was really the great thing because of wise investments
so at what point did you say? Maybe I could do comedy like at what point did you decide and then was that another hurdle in the
like what are you talking about you're in Terminator? How can you? How can you do comedy? Oh yeah, of course, uh. You know in Hollywood they love to put in the box.
This day. Will you, the guy that is going to the love story, is and the you of the woman that is going to do love stories and you, the God, is doing the action movies and do the pre historic move is new to the visual effects movies and it had to put in those boxes but
you know to me. It was very clear that my strength was in the beginning. When I got into my body. You know I did was not known this at the
great activities? English? So I use the body first, that's what got me
those who rules like playing in stay hungry, the Bodybuilding champion that was competing with all the little conflicts in there. There was a great movie
that's why I was to do the pumping on it's? What is two streets of San Francisco? Where played the second Vatican of body building, it's done killing this girl because she was in
holding my body in order stuff
You know and a handsome stranger was all about the body and build the Conan, the Barbarian Conan, the destroyer in orders, including the terminator, but
the terminator or in the commander all and then predator and red heat in those things gave me a chance to get out of that slowly and to prove that also connect that they can give me
other roles. Besides just relying on the party, and
it was up to me to prove that and it worked because I
We took it seriously together private, acting lessons in them into acting classes every night from one thousand two hundred o'clock to from eight hundred o'clock to one thousand two hundred o'clock midnight, and it did
much accent, removal classes and the speech classes was classes. English classes notice things you do really improve into perfect as much as possible as quickly as possible, and so it worked and I got bigger: bigger rose more and more important.
But Hollywood was happy. It was like
the 80s, the
little guy is in there, and now
of the muscle guys coming around the macho did movies in. You know that all the terminators, the commanders in all his movies since the loans, movies and fun downs movies and
everyone's movies that were in this business made money and
created a whole new genre to there was no interest at all to change because remember, that's not fix what is not proud,
right. So when I say that I would like to do a comedy, it was like
I did. Why would you waste that time? You may
huge money, now look at how you skyrocketing with you, be you fees and every movie, a doubling at the salaries that you make. Why would you go to
well luckily
I met in Aspen Ivan Reitman, who did
Ghostbusters bus. Is this and, and
I said I said I want to do a movie with you and he said well,
Very much is very sweet of you to say that it says maybe something we work together indoors
people hanging out
with him, and there was some other actors
We were hanging out together and then he came to me after three days being up there and in
if this is you know you
You have a side,
no one's ever seen in a the screen. You very funny, so I interested in actually doing a comedy with uses,
I'm going to go back when we go back to those Angeles, I'm going to work on kind of a developing some projects and he did
came back and immediately started developing five projects into one that I liked the best was called the experiment, which then ended up becoming twenty.
Right so we know the court experiment, because there was too much like you know, with a german accent, notices yeah. It was a little bit too strange about the lab and to make people in the lab that thing, so we then, if so, then it became a master plan right. Okay, doing exactly that, the last of my- and this is the
they became twins and then I had the idea of having you know. Someone not only be different but actually physically, look totally different. What about Danny De Vito and I was told it was
blue in the idea and then the old enough that they need to be done. That then the old I remember sitting in a restaurant and signed on a napkin, our
agreement for the movie it was like totally like
it was really wonderful and
the we all went to work and that
we went to happy to universal studios. The idea with the napkins, as I have the agreement from Allerton from Danny- and I have my nice and right
that, I'm going to direct and the brilliant
we did was when they came back to me and said that how much do you want for the movie? I said nothing.
And is it would mean nothing? Is it just give me a back end as it? Let's us Danny,
Ivan and me only forty percent of the movie as a
I could never take one dollar and
they said wow. This is really great. If you don't have to pay the heavy hitters, then we can make the movie
eighteen million dollars- oh my god, so they made the movie for eighteen million dollars. We owned the back end in a forty percent end,
the movie went through the roof in the national anthem, Stt, and I
you all made more money and that movie than anything
so, even though I had salaries of thirty million dollars and some movies, but I mean this was the biggest paid there, because we own percentage of everything of tv right
Okay. As of this writing that merchandising whatever it was we own that money,
so we made a fortune and because I felt that why would someone have to pay
when they didn't know for sure that it's going to work out, I will, as I said, I think, the risk we all take. The risk
he was a student, take the risk with the eighteen million. So that's all take the risk
in this order the broke, and you know he was one of those typical examples
that when you're, not that money hungry just do something for the money that actually things workout really well and sometimes much better, because it's the passion for the project in your interests,
project, it creates a whole different relationship with the studio and also with
Brooke is around you because everyone did worked in a movie got more money than we got so they were happy.
It could be, an actor could come in as it
how 'bout I know you're getting you know three hundred.
Dollars for four weeks work. How about giving one hundred
which was never intended to work for free. It really worked because everyone much cheaper everyone was
good mood the movie channels, you know fantastic, so, yes, you are absolutely correct.
The word tremendous obstacles to get into comedy, but we
we found a way to do it. Luckily, we had Ivan Reitman T at the right moment at the right time and everything, and then it did subsequently other
numbers with him. You know we did kindergarten, cop and uh, oh baby and Junior was called.
In order of things, and we had a terrific,
and the now we working on the sequel on triplets.
We have Eddie Murphy,
coming in and then I knew that yeah. So so that's why I'm telling you this is just a cutting edge, show where people get news, not just the repeating old stories, but we can use here but anyway, so it would be
so with Eddie Murphy, and it will be like that. You know the store,
basically will be that we are mother pass.
Is away until we are reading the wheels and everything that we find out. There's a third one now have to find it
and you never told us right then so so we're now going out until the finding the third one and sure enough.
You know it's gonna be doing his thing and I don't think of a way to store it up at the man. It was a really great great concept. They came up with
and again some of the books totally different, but they
can be sold us the same age, and so we're going to do that
after Terminator five which,
starting on April twenty Eighth Holy yeah. I don't I yeah. I do. I don't expect,
remember this. I was in Terminator three for like because in my book, how do you know that will because he told me so, is it okay? I can remember that that half hour- because I have an hour ago, he told me says that I have a memory good enough. I have. I can say I remembered that I was just I was I was. I was an engineer. Basically, I had like four lines, but I knew that they would get cut out because they were very exposition. All we don't know. What's going on, all the computers are down, you know like we don't and but I always do
it's really interesting about, and very special to me about. That movie was that
like a year or two before I quit drinking and got healthy, and so that
she is like a I always say: it's my fat, drunk brother, Peter Hardwick, because I don't want to take responsibility for it, but I'm
I'm like forty pounds heavier and pasty and chubby it just grows and uh.
After that, after I saw that movie. That was one of the things. Maybe you know, maybe
thing great as I should be, and that kind of got me on the healthy, like exercise and eat well and stuff. So that was it.
That movie was very special because because of that 'cause I saw in the make up near the
trailer. You would have separate trailer. That was just a gym right. That's right!
I always had that in his said, because you know when you work on this,
movies have sometimes work, one thousand two hundred and fifteen hours a day, and so, but
we get home with you. You don't have time anymore to work out. So for me it was always important that the use my lunch time that a go to the gym they
you have one hour lunch. I go to the gym. Forty five minutes working really hard, then have fifteen minutes for lunch, and then I could
look again and then when they find in between some other time
then go and work at the end, if it's just fifteen minutes or twenty minutes or sometimes throughout the day BC?
lunch time at forty five minute broke out, I will get like five times fifteen minutes off because they have to preppers, took out the so and then, if I but had didn't, have too much make up all appliances in the face of weird stuff on my body, then it could work out to know this for five times fifteen minutes
and it would add up to a gain to getting a good book out. So to me, that's how I kept in shape throughout the the the filming of the movie, and then I mean it seems you're still
about every day. Is there do you do five minutes? I broke it everyday when it ends up being five days of sure, but the intentions are to workout.
But sometimes like, for instance, if under flight to London you spend
sometimes it's even to go, promote the movie over there flying in order stuff and then way of on the way back to this, the German, a you know, kind of yes, so then did day you don't work out so well it doesn't.
Bridget ends up being five times a day, but I always whenever I'm at home everyday
up in the morning at the six hundred o'clock,
in the gym, workout, Duma, cardiovascular training and then at night. Before I have dinner at six hundred o'clock, I broke out again into my weight training. So I
this way, I'm not too far
away from
what shape I need to be in for a movie. So if you like
for instance, in Terminator. The director wants me to be
exactly the same as it was in nineteen, eighty four, because he did the person you know we have human flesh right
in under this metal skeleton. So the human flesh ages,
just like everyone else does, but the skeleton doesn't change,
before it has to be the big kind of a
body physically, the same thing even
so you may be able to show a little gray in all of this kind of things that when you see me now, you know coming back so
it's very important that now I didn't step it up with the workout in instead of just forty five minutes of weight training. I do.
An hour and a half gain an extra
five seven pounds of muscle of of muscle and get the kind of dead body back that I had done so that we can switch from the terminator to the characters are to did. Did the Indo character that the plane, I would
of, like Terminator, predict the kind of letter that it, and so we can switch back and forth to a twenty five year old. This is a a thirty five year old roses. Fifty five, your
in the woods and it's in the future, two thousand twenty nine. So all of this you can then play around with that, but the body always is the same, but the make up of the face would change. The here would change one
just even for physical appearance but- and I work at like three days a week but uh, but I still feel like that. I wouldn't be able to
keep the schedule that I have without training to some extent, because you just
you. Wouldn't I don't know how else anyone would have Energi to you know: go
go go, go! Go! If you didn't, you know, if you didn't keep that part up well I mean I mean you guys have the advantage that you lean,
so that gives you right away and edge
by having more energy. You know if you're overweight, that's with drags you down
other times. So. This is why I always tell people I said not only from a visual point of view. You want to get rid of you
you were very lucky that you looked at yourself and say I got to go and get rid of his wife,
look in this kind of overweight look and I've got to get my act together in a knives. Almost saw myself in a movie I'm going to
It is that if you lost the weight, did you lean the it is the end up and and and you look terrific well, you have the energy, but that's the key thing in
if the energy, because I know that the
even with animals and everyone
as soon as you're, overweight, digits when you slow down and that's what causes the depression and you look at yourself and you depressed because you know
in all this stuff is kind of a snowballing effect, and you cannot be with the probe.
The same way as someone that is muscular his lean and his act together and full of energy, and
absolutely correct when you say that it's great when you get your work done
a few more energy, but it's also because of the psychological impact. When I
but in the morning I feel like I've done something good for myself and I eat well, and
and the rest of the day, then it comes easier than if you don't work,
the whole day. I think about I wouldn't idiot. I was why didn't you know get up
Advogado? You we've been out now. I know that many good old is kind of the c b yourself up again, so I feel much better. I mean I have done my broke up and then get going into the
you said earlier that the more you do,
the more time you will end up having to do more yeah because
Now, in that rhythm of kind of go, go, go and
an Indian you enjoy it because everything you do
the enjoyed it to me. That's another one of the rules to the always say the people when they say: what's the secret secret to success is, is you get to enjoy what you're doing you get this at the
and find out. What is it that you really passionate about? What is it that you want to do because it feels so much better? Did you follow that that you follow that? Did you you you
passion, rather than just you know so I'm going to,
the college now, because my parents a move to go to college, but it is, it is not. Finally, what do you want to do? I was told
let's find out what do you want to do and
the diamond and then it's fun.
Those who live when you do something that you
but I was always passionate about Bodybuilding. I was passed,
but show business in big movies. I was very pat
to be a public servant and to go to Sacramento the battle it out with the ledge
they deserve, then, with the special interests in the religious leaders and all the different things that you have in front of you, that you have to fight the all the time and and the but a I love to
an impassionate. Now not coming back into the movie business and doing movies at
still love working out in the
I love order things that I'm doing it. So I think that's really helpful, because
and you are much more enthusiastic, Susie Astic about what you do. You're you're lucky in the
that you knew from a young age what you want, and I think most you could ask most grown ups now, what you you know. People seem to satisfy
yeah my life sucks and you go. What do you want and they go? I don't know.
Most people can even tell you what it is that they well, but that you can imagine, I feel sorry for them. I think that that that means that they have not yet spent the time to really think about it, and so many of the young kids
You see them always on the Iphone on the
I had some computer or something and it doesn't give,
the chance to really relax into
about what is it that they really feel passionate about semen? I was a kid growing up
do you have any of the computers in the emails and ipads and all these kind of things it was just the
I didn't even have a tv at home. We had nothing right,
because, like I said we were poor, we didn't have much money, and so I had time to think and to find my path.
And I think that was very, very important
I mean you and I and what I've read about you is that your dad was pretty strict. My dad was too and I
always fascinated by the idea that my Grand Father
This is kind of an asshole and my dad somehow
decided, I'm not going to repeat that pattern
I'm. A really lovely warm me, like you know, always make sure. Every time we talk on the phone. I love you, you know because it because the relationship with his father. So how do you? You know how
but what is it that makes you go? I'm not going to repeat the same things from when I was growing up. I think that
vision of the generation, things change, because what you just said about Ukraine
was exactly the same way
Adam and he was tough. He was tough
his kids, he was drinking
and when he allegedly that died with the wind in his 50s, we deliver that
iterating, liver for more alcohol and stuff like that, but he was a tough guy
and so my father was less tough, but still tough. When you compare it from my kids today,
I mean he was disappointed. You had to get up at six hundred in the morning. You had to do any pushups and indeed pants and off this we had to sit down
to do some math problems and solve some math problems out of the top before we were allowed to have breakfast and all all of this, but it was all
good and it was not just my dad, my mother, to him minimum. We came home from school
but she would not let us out of the house until we did our homework,
Angie there was like you know. We of course played around my brother and I and we were laughing at all, but she whipped out the ruler. Immedia
but it was not. There was not uncommon at all. It was the most common thing to whack the kids or the snack, the kids and do do hit the bottoms and the punish him physically sure. So there was not.
Uncommon right, so
good thing. Then we knew there was the real deal right. She would put out the thing and then
and she grabbed my arm bound over there. You know and put it on the table and whack them with the fingers. You know I got the message
don't screw around. Do you math problems right here? Reports, practices,
in two of those things, because in two hours from now you then allowed to go out and play with your friends and then later on. We can go to the soccer field and bait, because my father then got off and he was
then coaching us in soccer and orders so
They both were discipline. The disappearance, but not kind of beyond,
for the day standards be answered today. Again it changed so the day now be I'm in America, I'm not in Austria. It's not anymore
post second World war where people, what kind of you know depressed
We lost the war and they were all kind of screwed up and we were occupied before nations and all my garden. So the guys were all in a pissoff they're losers right, so they said they acted totally different because
that and they were drinking a lot- they acted differently. Then then I would
I'm here now in place in the land of opportunity. I mean
the greatest country in the world,
changes right away. Everything- and I, admittedly I came over here in the posters, economic upswing and everything was booming and their paternity
with the, and I just saw everywhere. I looked
in America there were doors,
but it is opening up so I walked in. So how wonderful is that? So?
now you know we you you you you you you I'm I'm happy all the time. I am excited that that me in America that made the right decision that my career,
it's going well and I'm doing all the things that they want to do so now many of kids. You know it's a totally different attitude
when something goes wrong. You don't have that angry me
alright, you know there is no I'm not a drinker. So there's alcohol involved, in my judgment is, is because of that much error
I also had a wife who grew up in America and was a grew up with parents that were very tolerant,
they did let them get away with much more as long as they did education that they work in, but they were
much was loosely kind of brought up. Then I was so you mix now that
What should the way she deals with the kids and does it became kind of a
nation, of a water down, trying to be
Yes, when they left the room and
turn out the lights. I would just
screw a lightbulb.
But the time came a week- and you know that was the lights in the morning in in in the room, and it will be crying because there was like five years old and that that was the dog I'm afraid little went off as it would. In turn
the lights when you leave the room
who wrote the same as with the with the, but this is as far as it goes with disciplined right agenda in the shower. I said: don't
Take any showers longer than five minutes
and I never had a shower when I grew up? I be always washed ourselves with a washcloth, and I
carry the water from two hundred yards away from a well to the house, my brother and I even when we were little kids, so we tried to not use much water at all. It was conservation right, the Denver, my mother, wash yourself roasted them to the same. What I'm a dad washed himself and then be the same water. My brother washed,
self- and I was the youngest I got the last and the last two and a bit about what it was black right into the budget, but they didn't want to go out and get in in the wind and go down to bed well in the deep snow. Thank
more water sociable. I wash myself with that same water out, but this I say that because this is for now it's a different
I understand that, but it's five minutes. You only
five minutes to clean your body in the washer here, the war.
My body is hidden from the times when I didn't get it
was it. I
then something that, after five minutes the hardware,
this is the cold water came down on the fifth of the screens. Only five minutes away five minutes up is is so anyway.
Each person can participate in
fights, to reduce in global warming and to reduce the this year to output and did this is what you can do. You can show of water because to pump water down because you've, just
sophisticated plumbing system in
maybe pump water from the n to the S, because in the north of California, be if he gets two slash three of the water, but we have two slash three of the population S, so we have to bring water down, but then takes
but power, not of energies being used to pump the water to. Therefore, let's conserve the water, let's conserve the energy, let's go
sure where we can conserve in a very casual way, not extreme, but then the very casual way. But we all have to be this
they'd in one of the bigger the better world, so there was the kind of thing that they wanted to teach them
This is where the discipline went. That way. Of course, when we went on vacation, I had them do exactly like. My father did
we have to do math first kids into different our math before we had breakfast so they stay
the program, because I'm always a big believer in math and the wife was a good big deliver
as in english language, I would never
Teacher uses still have managed it that well so as to as to with my wife, to give the language skills not to give them out stuff from the. So there was certain things like that: the the the I was, the discipline with my kids, but I
it was never at all as crazy as it was. When I grew up well,
just what you said. You sort of you know that it's, but it's fun that your self deprecating go. I would never be an english teacher, so what
did you always have that? I mean when you start to realize that you know I mean you're films are like quote:
like the Joe Manganiello said he was over here and
we're going through the Arnold phrase, generator and you're, like I don't remember, which one is for what what what point did you would you were you ever kind of affronted by like a were they making fun of me, or did you immediately go? This is cool they're, they're they're, paying homage they're recognizing something? Well I mean it it. You know all of this. The
the most quotable lines in movies, notice
to me. This is this
but it became aware of it as it happened in front of my eyes, because I had no idea there was such a thing really and was not in
the line I'll be back. I mean
No one under set ever thought. That would be the most colorblind united history, no one as a method. I argued that Jim Cameron me
read the arguing with Jim Cameron,
is a stupid line. I say I would say I will be back
he says not out
do you do? The acting? Let me do the writing. Ok, I I wrote out be back and I said, but when I say that I'll let this
It sounds sounds kind of little softap. I think it's.
And stronger. When is it I will be back, and this is no,
I wrote this great. I said I'll be back to say ten times, maybe figure out which will be going to you. Yes, this is it the worry about it, I'm going to make it look studley. So to stop always worrying about that. You know looking soft and
this argument I mean how stupid is that right? Now, of course, when I look back, I said it was crazy, but at that point,
in the 80s. I still had difficulty with some of this line.
And- and you know, I was so lucky that he
made me, do it and it became the most quotable line, but
even know I mean. Do you know that the movie predator was out
for years and years and years and
There's certain lines. Did people screamed out the wanted me to repeat, but when the neck
generation. The now
the young, kids, so
it's when this started over certain get the
this is mister. How did that happen? Come from a no one for twenty years, the first twenty, as no one ever talked about that line. Yeah never now was that they want to screen. You go to the mall so made it got. The job bomb will give a speech somewhere the university, the screaming I'll, get to the job as it should. It became a very popular nine others always take a chopper everywhere now, never know
yeah the bottom line? When you do a movie, you never know which line is going to hit and it's going to be funny
but it has to do with my accent. Also. You know it's kind of like you know it's not a tumor
so in kindergarten. Cop, oh, I know yeah it's under too much, so I mean it's like a deadline.
Doesn't mean anything how many people said: that's another tumor, but
as I sated with instead of uh
Esat movie, the d, it's not a
was it not only that the kids started laughing because as they did wrong and then everyone started laughing with the I did it and you know so this date does it
This is the kind of things that make it actually fun and laughable,
Well and then, when Carvey and Neil and started doing this Saturday night live stuff,
tell you right away that they were doing that. Or did you see it and go? You know
I want to be a part of that now. I saw it
this other night live and I loved it
the soup, you know I hooked up with those guys and have them come to the great American broke out. Remember at the
the house in the button half the dean did routine down and that brought them to the Arnold Classic Bodybuilding Championships and we did did with dean and the
they probably the Saturn at life and we did the routine that together and they finally found their uncle. You know I was always the guy that gave them hell for doing
saying things the wrong way in order, so it was, we were about actually do movie. Well, maybe
have them find out? Finally, finding the angle and and all that stuff, but I mean you know, turned
did you become a reality, but the minute, if you did, that was the intention, but they were held. There is a love that over the top kind of an accent thing and then tailor
and then they deduct continued is actually you know he always like whenever he introduced me. This is now we
of Arnold Schwarzenegger Yahoo. You know it is kind of like a judge. If I talk with that says, and then I will go out and call him idiot and it was all routine well
great to see you online. I think we're. Probably rather up. Are you good for? Are you good for perfect?
It's really great to see you kind of embrace the online community like I've, just
thank you. You really quickly developed a passion for read it, and just I saw you interacting and read it. Did you
Did that passion survivor? Did you get to a certain point real, like I don't know so much anymore? Well, I like online because it's a lot of pictures with the few roads. I don't know exactly what my movies road- I say: okay, I I'm in I'm in and I think the but the minute you know I think that is
to me is so wonderful to be able to do things.
Without having to go through the media. You know, I don't mind,
doing the promotion doing going through the median rose, but there's so many things that have so much better if you can go directly to the people
no just recently for with we fundraising in Nova play,
it? Is me playing Howard Klein in gold's gym
being kind of instructor and raising.
This way, and it's all about the you know, raising money for after school programs,
so I can go directly to the people using the whole new way that we never had twenty years ago ten years ago and raising
homes for after school programs and people love it. You know it's the key,
used to be entertaining, and they can be myself, which is
the way I am is a approach in all of the the things
exactly did way. I mean that trying to be funny and humorous and though, if we take the tank out and we
rush thing and that's very entertaining or if you go
and do the the the meal time ago and and and and cook a steak to the steak and eggs
a kind of a of a sandwich that the monsters savages is seventy eight thousand calories. You know it's kind of all of this stuff is kind of
on it, because she I am you know, I mean this- fitness
say that they don't need calories, no need a couple of isn't just a broken blah blah blah and vitamins and minerals.
Sing. It is seventy eight thousand power standards. I mean it's it's funny, so it's kind of always playing in the
but of the rebel.
Enjoy that, and so I think that having access directly to the people like that has been really fantastic.
We're: where did you discover like when I was
yup I had snl and I grew up in the seventies and eighties, and so I had like. I had comedy
easily readily available. But where do you get
what re exposed you exposed to? Where did? Where did? Where did that love come from
never had any interest in comedy at all. I mean it's just that I grew up. Always you know, I don't know why
but I grew up with the sense of humor.
And so everything that I did uh
ended as solo. I always saw in this year way, but also
I could see it in a funny way. So
kind of mysterious way. You know that your training every day five hours and you can be
We do have the most perfect body. You know in the perfect biceps in the same measurement. Does the calves in the neck
the thing is to be in proportion. This is that, but to send them a good step back and he said that was stupid is standing up there with this will pose in France oiled up with six hey world. Look at me, I'm really muscular. I don't know I was going to mentor. Well, that's crazy. The second side could see, then the humorous way the same is with the acting in the same is it you know when I was governor does so that's the key thing is that you can see
back and look at yourself and actually laugh at yourself.
And and and not be in a sensitive about this stuff, and so I think that it did the because of that yeah. It kind of
humorous side of me. I was able to do
do comedies and the switch over from Sirius to the fund
funny and was it with his little things we do for the social media. I mean it's like it always kind of like goods jurist, be raising money after school programs, absolutely important that we find ways to keep our kids off the streets after
have you got paid with three and six is the danger zone for kids and we got to keep them in the school.
To do homework and tutoring and sports programs notice very serious subjects, but he got those who make fun of.
Thing and be be able to entertain people, while the raising that sir, is there anything
apps that you what what what couple things do? You say
I want to do like. Are there are tons of things that you still want to do that you haven't done yet that you've put off or decided
This is something that I really want to accomplish. Well, first of all,
in the middle of promoting in
movie, I think so, production. If the mention of this in the course seven that if we have to mention those of a may grow in great actors,
no to make me a low, Josh, Holloway and SAM Worthington and stands how it than to leave your Williams, and
Maria Innocent and the list goes on and on of course, and David AIR was really been a yotuel offered.
Like the insisted that was doing a lot of research in working with
the LAPD and El La Swat team, and you know
exactly the way they go bridge
doors in the way they come through, building
the way they hold the weapon, what they added? It is an officer, and I think that
and is it the drill? Ism is really
coming out in the movie. That's with people appreciate the most and then only those who think bill blocked the producer for bringing the project to me, great
I also saw your name on a billboard when I was driving over here for is there a show
time series with just Cameron it James CAM.
We
doing this Showtime series based
it's an environmental series and
it's you know very stiff
Entertainers in the
the uh one hour piece I did
fires and wildfires, and what effect
global warming has had them those and how we had now a burning like forty percent
world land because of the wildfires. That would the twenty years ago and what that means budget wise. What that means to our forest
so the two hour, you know kind of capturing
c two in orders. So it's a very interesting piece in about what it means
so the firefighters to have now much more dangerous fires, much quicker fires in how
people are getting killed and amongst the firefighters. Because of that and then someone else goes, you know through the forest somewhere and there's a piece that someone else does it.
About war, and so there's a very it's very interesting pieces. The verb
Could this in many ways and and some really great show great yeah and that comes. I think
in April, 13th
there's something wrong with this today: excellent
This has been an amazing chat. This has been so much fun.
Thank you. I mean a blast and a bit we did over an hour and it just it totally flew by. We say at the end of the up in each episode. Our
on way to sign off. The shows we say enjoy your burrito, because it's a way that we tell people to enjoy something as it's happening as opposed to don't worry about the present I mean, don't worry about the past or the future like enjoy something as it's happening I feel like it would be complete,
oppurtunity opportunity to not have you tell people to enjoy their burrito at the end of this episode enjoy?
your burrito, you hear me I'll, be back
yes, please come back whenever you want, you can just be the third. You could be that yeah Matt Matt. I we had a buddy mad, but he's out of town. You can just be the third on the show from now all right we'll come back to that again soon. I will be back
yeah, make a
was on other podcasts last year and the just the doors he was like Arnold, the best you got to get him on the podcast, but he said that time. Would you
you guys were going through the Arnold soundboard. Instead it we said it was so meta. An amazing yeah because I mean there's a
I have a friend,
of mine, the name of data
who always ask me would say some kind of a in a line, and then it says what movie does it come from? You know, and I really have to sometime
from a long time ago. What it does is it's like, but that I think, is asking often enough that I do remember most of them, for my
do you have a particular favorite?
no, I mean I think
they're all kind of enjoyable to the listener. When other people try to imitate my accent and the fun and for me the funder,
beat a inevitably every speech to give somewhere. There is, you know,
Can we do a QA and a and someone in the audience will come up and says: can you say those three lines and then I've shot cars? Of course I mean everybody gets a large part of your life. I would say absolutely, but it's just I I kind of miss those
Like you know, running man total recall the kind of cheeky but cool big budget action.
Movies like with her. They don't really do
anyway? They're? Not everything is real. Gritty now like there aren't there's something that's been lost in like there's not as fun anymore. Well, I'm sure,
we will see it again. I mean you know, everything comes back. Everything goes in cycles,
depends. You know those directors now are not directing anymore. You know
thirty years ago, after twenty years ago, said did Hollywood is all about young people about new ideas.
And so they hired a new directors and they have a new approach. As you can see
yeah. I mean this broach. The much more gritty kind of approach
and uh? Well, we have cameras in our chest and we filmed
yeah, then we storm the building and stuff like that. I mean that never happened before. So it's not just like. Let's shoot in set up
camera outside of the action in film it film the action, but he wants to go inside the
and also give the audience that the audience really loves that, so it's a whole different feel
and then you know
President movies.
Really matter. No one said that this is how your horse, the gun
We did that was in the military. They've done action movies noise. I know how to hold a gun, but in this movie
for instance, in Saturday
he really wanted us to hold to God exactly
we swat team will hold the gun, because you have to be that much.
Are we ready to go
the room because it any for under the bed could be a threat. It could be behind some kind of a piece of furniture or bathroom.
What could open up in some glass to India and stuffy, so you have to be really ready, ready, there's, no time to go and raise
the dead could already get you killed by just having to raise the weapon and shoot, but
other movies in there. We just like remember dirty Harry. I mean the guys doing this average
five thousand seven hundred and forty four miles whatever it wasn't just boom in this,
the guy. Well, these Robin Wright also it was, in the into the day, stay the day,
say. Are you crazy, you
we're done a magnum that kicks like crazy. That throws you back, you can hold with one
hand and then either
Jim we would talk to SAM, which are the oldest of his you got to hold with two hands you got to be behind. The bill is that he did the did the to protect yourself and all this kind of doubt the the the the deaths it's good to be authentic, but
It made actually the scene cool was that he was standing out in the open street and from the front,
This is smaller, but from the front just eating his sandwich called and is in
People really enjoyed that says it is. It is a different
and the same is also with commander no of each with one hand just shot with uh
I'm gonna go lay down lose Mohammed, just you killed in
eighty seven people and commander,
if it's all played, throwing them around in no one ever checked out Dennis was software. It really cannot be in his throw it decapitate somebody who
But then in a movie with bed. Right I mean it. It's all played with Sloan and look at the head came off, and then it was a funny scene. After tell you because you're talking about commander, so we were doing the movie and we had all his action.
So like you know, endless amount of people more than any other movie and all that stuff, because I wanted to be just alone because
be a you know? He killed, they get. Eighty one people say I the kill. Eighty seven people bill itself so so then I had an idea. I see what I have to
shoot out there and I'm hiding in the bushes. What about what?
if someone would have to go to the bathroom and now,
We will come over to my Bush, where I'm hiding and in all,
you know, I know he's pissing on me
I told the guys that I I told the idea that the produce it is as I have you told so
yeah, it is sick fuck. You know that she's is Christ. I mean it's like a
that's why we don't make decisions like that: a direct
and stuff, and then they go to the direct, and he says well, I'm afraid to do that with
the studios are cases? Can you talk to the studio at the head of the studio, which was Larry going
ok, so you know I know they're recording and so I went in, I said. Ok, I think it's such a brilliant idea. I gotta go ahead. Just let you have two ideas here. It is, I said, number one. I think that
it should be hiding in the bush and they cannot find Maine and then
these guys are running by, but one of them says just hold off a little bit. I have to go to the bathroom
in in in he goes to the side on steps in the peace in the biz admit faces coming down it. But I cannot say of root. I cannot move because I was the guy would hear the leaves throughout
rather than in a big noise, so as I just had to take it and and and then he says, and and and what's the second idea, Arnold and as
The second idea is that I'm going out and I
grab the guy's arm as he aims the
Redmayne. I grabbed my take the machete in cut and hack his arm off at the shoulder and then
the blood is squirting out of the shoulder and out of the arm the time
now in his screaming loud. But I don't want anyone to hear it. So I said whacking
over the head over and over until he falls over and dies. I said it's not a great idea. Numbers like smiling across this desk is not a great idea. Don't you think we should do it and
he says you sick, f,
get the hell out of here is the guy in in in in in this will be out of the office, so that was the end of those kind of brilliant as and then he's picking up my face. Where
talking about the movie right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, it's in the movie, then I rip is Armacell anyway. So I had some good ideas in my career server too late. To put that stuff is actually never too late to see you man. This is so you guys thanks for coming by ok. Thank you awesome. Now, leaving noticed
dot. Com enjoy your burrito,
