My name is Dave Warnicky and I'm here

with Matt Jess. You never know which one I said first. Matt, you said Matt first. Yeah, Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess.

Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Matt Jess. Like, combine us into one. All right, if you can go back to the table, it's actually this Jess Matt Jess. Oh, and he was just Perkins and Matt's to it. Hello. Hello. See if I'm playing favorites, you know? But, I mean. Well, you got to start with one of this.

I know, you got to start with one. Dave, go to your head, who's your favorite? Dave, go to your head, Dave, Dave, Dave. Gun to your head, pick a favorite, go. Kill you both and live. Ah. Okay, the gun was to your head, but somehow we're dead. I've disarmed the...

I've shot them. I've shot both of you with one book, because there's only two. And now I have a free man. I don't think that's true. Well, you didn't have to kill us. In this scenario, you weren't even saying we had the gun. I'm a free man, I didn't say I didn't make a mistake. And then another mistake straight after.

I really regret asking that question. Yeah, that's a big grim action. That really bummed me out. Yeah, all right, never put a gun to Dave's head and make him answer that. Yeah, the night well. Yeah, because I'll kill everyone, but I mean, okay, well. Hey Dave, do you have any more exciting news than that? Then you're a deep, dark death. Oh, yeah, pretty excited for the James Bond movie, not long now. Okay, we'll have to update the James Bond episode from a couple years ago. Yeah, that's right

Who did that was a Dave? I did it. We did it and then we're in downstairs for the shibidot. She does Christmas party That's why I remember that one pretty well All right, do not recall All right, gun to my head. I'll tell you what I was really been going on behind the scenes here What the beginning. What's going on? So this show, some people may know, is supported by people through Patreon, where people can ship in a few bucks a month in exchange for awards, and also the fact that the knowledge

that they're keeping us going, which is very, very nice. And over and over, then we set a goal and overall goal, sort of like a crowdfunding type thing. Hit that goal, we do something new. Previous goals, we said we'd do a web series. That was a few months ago, we hit that, and guess what? An announcement, we filmed it. We filmed it, yeah. When did we film it?

Was it late last year? No, then, but it was literally three days before we went to the UK. It was the craziest time of our entire life. Yeah, it was so stressful. We had to work on that, but also have nine reports ready to go for the life tour. Yes. So there's at least nine episodes of that in the editing suite. Yeah, hopefully coming out in the next couple of months. Annoying that there's nine, but I didn't want to do any more work. Nine, but we might do a promo video, so it'll be 10 all up. Yes, thank you.

We thought about this. And the goal before that was that day, it was an American tour. Yeah, North American tour, which we have been working on for a long time, to be honest, because visa stuff, especially with the United States of America, is very, very difficult. But we are closer now than we've ever been before. Don't give away too much, just in case it falls through, but we are confident that we're going to get to North America this year. Yes. We both don't want to get our hopes or your hopes. Yeah, that's, but because we want

it probably more than anyone else in the world. It would be my dream come true. Comedy in America, the home of comedy. That was the first people to do something funny. Then what would you do? What would you do once you'd or once you've achieved your life goals? I've got other goals. I've never met Frankie Packett, for instance. Uh huh. Really? Yeah, there's plenty of things to tick off the list. Imagine meeting Mossy one day. Yeah, wow. I've seen him live twice in the last few months.

That's kind of like meeting. Yeah. But anyway, point is, point is we've got a new goal. Yes. Because we all, I've forgotten about this. Yeah, right.

Oh yeah, we're just updating it about America. You get a goal, you take the goal. You get a new goal. Okay. Is this some sort of sporting power that we go for? Well, for a long time, especially you too, have been asked many, every time we do a live show,

people say, when's it coming? When's the next podcast coming? You've got book cheat, you got primates, you got listen now, but when are we gonna hear phrasing the bar? The podcast that you guys talked about on a lot of that's primate shows. Yeah, maybe episode six. Really?

Really? Any many moons ago, a podcast exclusively devoted to the films of Brendan Frazier. Also, can I point out too, that I remember on that episode being like, oh, what would we even call it? And you just straight off the bat, man, when phrasing the bar, and I thought, of course, I feel like an idiot. You nailed it in one go. It was the fastest I've ever seen your brain work.

But it's been locked in now. Geez. If I had another crack at it, I'd probably come up with something else, like a branding over or that's good. Fraser every pencil has a Fraser. That's why pencils have a Fraser. You know, I'm just saying there's plenty of options. Hell Fraser. Hell Fraser is good.

Fraser Island, just an island. Yes. Anyway, the point is that we've got a new Patreon goal. And I think it was the same. We're about 80% of the way to it. And if we hit it, we're gonna start doing a third Patreon bonus episode a month, and that episode is gonna be... Bit of a coincidence, actually, because we're just talking about it.

But it's gonna be an episode of phrasing the bar. That's right, so that'll be an exclusive Patreon series. So once a month, we're gonna go through all of these films in order. And what if we go to it, there's about 50 of them. About 50. So far. Yeah. So we'll get there over many years.

Yes. And that goes along with the monthly bonus mini report that we do, which usually goes for about close to an hour. Yeah, so that means it's a good mini. So it's kind of win-win. If you're already a Patreon who gets the bonus episodes, you're going to be getting another one, which is great. If you're not a Patreon, you can sign up and you'll be getting three, which is huge. And you get a heaps of other

fun stuff too. So you should definitely head on over there if you can. That's right. Patreon.com slash do-awonpod is the place you gotta go to. And yeah, it all helps, it keeps the pod going. We haven't missed a week in nearly four and a half years now, mainly because of those people. Yeah, sure. So thank you so much to the patrons. Also, while we're talking about exciting stuff,

we're doing live shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, we're doing four of them. And they're on Saturday afternoons at the European beer cafe. And they're gonna Saturday afternoons at the European beer cafe. And they're gonna be, I don't wanna talk it up too much, but the best four days of our lives. Yep. I think so.

And you can get tickets for that via comedyfestival.com or dogoampod.com. There'll be a link on there as well. And Justin and I both doing stand up comedy shows right throughout the whole festival, just to do on our first ever show. First and last baby. So you gotta get behind it.

Please come. Please come. All right, we're the bang. Come into the bang. Yeah, come in and leave. I'm going in and out, bang, bang. So our podcast is on Saturdays at two, something. Two o'clock, two o'clock.

Jess is on at six, I'm on at seven. You could do all three in one day if you wanna do a Saturday. That's right. Have a beer at the beer cafe afterwards and then Roseanne down to Jess's show. Yep. So you can find out details for all those shows at comedyfestival.com.au or at Jessperkins.com.au or matchduetcomad.com.

Anyway, Dave, we should do this mother flipping show. That's right. Because we're not at raising the bar just yet. But we are here at Dooggoon and on this show, we're taking this, my love, flipping show. That's right. Because we're not at phrasing the bar just yet. But we are here at DoGoOn. And on this show, we're taking turns to report on a topic suggested by a listener most of the time. And it is, just as turned to report on a topic. And usually, two out of three of us will have a question,

just as the exception of the rule. I'm just writing it 10 minutes ago, remember? Well, I was just going to ask us the question to get us onto the topic. I'm excited. Good for you. My question is That's gonna be good We'll be the judge of that my question is Who is your daddy and what does he do? Oh

Martin monarchy teacher retired Post your teacher retired Are you doing a report on Arnie? Yes, yes. My hero. I say with trepidation in case of he's done so bad stuff as well, but also what a cool guy. Cool guy, do you know much about his like early life? Uh, yes. Okay. Some stuff. Mad do you know much? I think he's Austrian. Very good, great start.

He left with stars in his eyes and that dream in his heart. And a pair of socks in his backpack. Yeah, a couple of big, big biceps. Yeah, I don't know much about it. I know that he had a, he was very driven, but I don't know anything about the specifics. Yeah, I don't know much about it. I know that he had a, he was very driven, but I don't know anything about the specifics. Yeah, I can't say, I mean, obviously I'm familiar with his work.

That's cool. If you're familiar with his autobiography. No, I haven't read it. That was cool. Hang on, one was called, he's written a couple. Is it called Total Recall? Total Recall. Yeah.

Incredible title. Because it was the name of one of his films. So it was with the woman with three boobs. And then that's true. So no one I mean that's all that I remember about that film and I've never seen it. Oh really? I have. I don't know about that. What about the email functioning lady? They're like, oh, that rings a bell. She's a robot. That's a fun. That sounds like a the name of a painting the malfunctioning lady and that noise was fun Is that gonna be featured in the

It is now great because yeah, I didn't know I mean yeah, I'm familiar with his work of course, but I didn't know a lot about him And I've also just realized I did not write down who has suggested him. So let's find out now. Okay, it's a few people. He would be. I would have suggested it, because I think he's right. Yeah. I did one time, there was, what was his famous documentary

from the olden days? It was something. Pumping on. I watched, I will talk about it. I chunk of that at the Meredith Music Festival. They have like an outdoor cinema around the back somewhere in the forest area. And I watched that one, I was pretty cool watching that out under the stars. I think that's the only film I've ever seen. That in Twins.

So there are a few people that have suggested this topic. Gregory Gritman is one of them. Ben Ward has also suggested it. Matthew Beeling, Robert Riddell, Andrew Cox, Thomas Doppelrider. I could probably say that wrong Thomas. I'm sorry. It's also been suggested by Ali, and finally it has been suggested by John Collins. So a bunch of people- John Collins. Have suggested this is a place. They sound like he was an historical figure.

Hello, I'm John Collins. It's a great group. So how you were imagining he's saying, are you exact same? Okay, I'm John Collins. Yeah, I'm at a charm, I'm sure. I'm at a charm, I'm sure. I think I'm right.

I've got a horse out the front. And one out the back. You want to meet them? He'll cost you. So he's crazy. Yeah. He's charging you to meet his horse. How much?

$300. Wow. Got to be, I mean, you need to. You'd for hear that and go, well, I mean, it's got to be so good. Yeah. It's probably worth it. But then you'd see that he wasn't wearing pants and you'd go, well, I mean, it's got to be so good. Yeah, I probably wasn't. But then you see that he wasn't wearing pants and you go, okay, all right, dodgeable and here.

John is crazy. Now I've given him my money. 300 to meet the horse. 600 to eat the horse. I only 600. Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of meat. It'll last you anyway. Yeah, I don't want to do that. Anyway, so thank you to those people who have suggested this as a topic. Let's explore. I was going to say, please, indulge. Oh, thank you so much. There were some great names in there, Jess. I just want to stress that. Yeah. Who was that Robert Riddell? Yeah, it's a good one. Doppel writer. Doppel writer. Gregory Gritman.

What about Arnold? I love the Electoratorie. That's Arnold Aloys. Top all writer. Top all writer. Gregory Gritman. What about Arnold? I love the Electoratorie. What about Arnold Aloys Schwarzenegger? Oh, ding ding ding. We have an English name. That's his middle name is Aloys. Aloys. Didn't know that.

That's good. Aloys seed. Do it. Arnold Arnab. It's weird to earn the Neger. Gachi. He was born on the 30th of July 1947 in Thal, Stieria to Oralia and Gustav Swatsenegger. Thal is a small village about 3.2 Ks or 2 miles west from Gras which is the second largest city

in Austria. It's so small that the population in 2014 on the 2014 census was 2,240 people. So that was so small the population was negative 47. Wow, that's a lot. They had to start counting the cemetery, ghost town. That's like counting the ghosts. I, this may be embarrassing, I've never heard cries, said out loud. Me.

I think in my head I would have said gras. Oh, yeah, look, who knows what it is. Oh, right. To look it up, probably gras. If I'm wrong, sorry about that. But you know, you try saying Woolen Maloo. It's actually, we all have weeds out in places. All right.

Got to get off my case. Woolen Maloo is fantastic. So fun. It's fun to read, fun to say. His father was a local chief of police and had held a high rank while he served in World War II. After voluntarily joining the Nazi party in 1938. Ah.

Ah, not great. I mean, it's not the only Austrian to do that. Because Hitler did. Yeah, that was a joke there. Because I'm so glad that he was like, I was like, alright, yeah, I'm sure he wasn't. It would have mentioned it in my research if it was the only one. I'm sure I would have found it.

So yeah, it probably wasn't Dave. Oh, Hitler. Okay, yep, yep, yep. So Gustav suffered recurring bouts of malaria while in the war, which led to his discharge in February of 1944. What color was the discharge? I was thinking about it.

It was a pulsing discharge. It was like a bit green. Oh, nasty. You know that. That's a sign of infection. Get him out. Get him out. Yeah. Well, but a calmer there. Nazi boy. He was considered unfit, fructive duty and he returned to Australia where he was assigned to work as a postal inspector. Arnold had an older brother as well. His name was mine hard. Oh, wow. Had not said that out loud of the character. Arnold had an older brother as well. His name was Mine Hard. Oh wow. Had not said that out loud until the end.

The name is a different in the one of the words biggest movie stars was Mine Hard Schwarzenegger. That is awesome. Amazing. Apparently they're farther favored Mine Hard. Because apparently he's... He's back the wrong one I reckon. Well he suspected that Arnold is. The Nazis. I mean how wrong can one man be? Yeah, he had a history really back

as a wrong horse. Well, apparently he's you want to meet a horse? I have one at the front. He suspected Arnold was not his biological son, but these suspicions were largely unfounded. Because Arnold was seven foot one and he was like five foot. He's like, yeah, I'd be claiming those genes. Yeah. That guy, no, not from my scrotum. Sorry about that. So how you say it over there? Scrotum. I've never heard it say it loud.

So it goes down in the end up. It goes grouse and you scrotum. You should not, if you go grouse and you scrotum at, we need to see it. I need to make a phone. Get it out out. Get the grass out of there. Now, it's a scrub. Apparently, he was an average student at school, but known to be cheerful, good human and good human. Good human. Good human.

Good human. And exuberant. I mean, he played a lot of sport. He voted like that year's most likely to be exuberant. Yeah, most exuberant. Yeah, he played a lot of sport. Yeah, most exuberant. He played a lot of sport. He was particularly good at soccer.

I'm with set on pursuing a career as a soccer player. In 1960, his soccer coach took Arnold and the rest of the team to a local gym to do some weights training. Arnold was hooked. He changed his career goals from soccer. Fuck me. Why can't I talk today? He changed his career goals from soccer to bodybuilding. He'd why can't I talk today? He changed his career goals from Sockie to bodybuilding.

He'd been, oh this is a quote from him, he says, I'd been participating in sports like Sockie for years. So I felt that although I was slim, I was well developed, at least enough so I could start going to the gym and start Olympic lifting. I love how he changes his goals so quickly.

Then he went to the milk bar, I was like, oh, dearies for me. I'm gonna own a cow. I'm gonna buy a cow. I'm gonna own a cow in the front. His official website biography says, at 14 he started an intensive training program with Dan Farmer.

Ah, Farmer. Oh, oh, Farmer. Farmer, I'm going Farmer. Oh, farmer. Oh, farmer. I'm gonna be farmer. He studied psychology at 15 to learn more about the power of mind over body. And at 17, officially started his competitive career. He's a bit crazy. In 1961, he met former Mr. Austria, Kurt Manuel,

who invited him to train at the gym in Graz. He started regularly visiting the gym, and while he was in town as well, he'd also go to local movie theaters to see bodybuilding idols, such as Reg Park, Steve Reeves, and Johnny Wise Muller. They are in the movies, so I see just seeing them in the crowd. On the big screen, yes. Just watching them from afar, as they watched their favorite film. Apparently he got so into training and he was so dedicated that he'd break into the gym on weekends when it was closed, just to make sure he got enough training in.

He'd break in. He's a teenager breaking into the gym to exercise. So every Monday comes in, oh, we're not supposed to get and what happened there? Also, the place has been tidied up. The weights are all in order again. And he said it would make me sick to miss a workout. I knew I couldn't look at myself in the mirror the next morning if I didn't do it.

Which really doesn't feel super healthy. But also anyone who's a lead at any sport has that kind of mentality. Unlike me. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Any excuse not to. I'm like, well, it's a bit wet. So I've never missed a day at the gym.

Okay, Dave, one's last time we went to the gym. I've never missed a day, so. No further question. Please then ask for a date Gym. Okay, Dave, one's last time we went to the gym. I never missed a day, so. No further question. Please, then ask for a date. What date, Dave? What are you, I don't understand, what are you saying?

You've never been to the gym, didn't you? You did join the gym, didn't you? I joined the gym, I haven't been in so long. Yeah, that's what everyone does when they join a gym day. No, they're just taking my money every month. Yes, but it's too hard to... Are you still paying? It's way too hard to confront them in cancel it, so you just let them take it. I call it the lazy tax. Yeah, Dave. Okay, well, if I'm not

lazy, do I not have to pay? You've actually got to not have to pay? Is that it work? That'd be good. You should send an email. Get the wheels in motion. What should I say in the email? You should fake you, Dave. I reckon. Hey, I want to quit. What's the quickest way I can get out of this? But my dream is that I'll do it. Oh, well then go do it. After hearing this report, I'm already ready to go. I'm going to look myself in the mirror tomorrow unless I go tonight. Okay, great. Can I start?

They won't know what you look like. Could I use it? Because I would love to have a gym membership. Yeah, I reckon you just buzzed the card. I'm great. I don't never check your idea or anything. I'm actually more insulted that you've waited for this report to be inspired when I haven't inspired you

to go to the gym with my weight lifting. Well, how many, how many are pushing these those? Oh, a lot. I reckon heaps. Really? I mean, my Bruce Lee report also didn't inspire me, so that's true. You were, you were leg pushing more than me and Dave can buy in last time we spoke.

Yes, I haven't done like press for a long time, but yes, one thing I was thinking, you said I was thinking like 141.50, and you do different things at different times. Right now I'm dead lifting, it's watching anything. You said, well, how can you got up to 170? Do you reckon?

Yeah, that's what you told us like two weeks ago. That's too much. Mm. Anyway, in 1965, Arnold served in the Austrian army. 18-year-old Austrian men were at the time required to fulfill one year of service. So Arnie went off to do that. However, during basic training, he went AWOL

so that he could take part in the junior mister Europe bodybuilding contest. He won, but he could take part in the junior Mr. Europe bodybuilding contest. He won, but he spent a week in military prison. He said, participating in the competition meant so much to me that I didn't carefully think through the consequences. Just broke out of the army. He broke out of the army so that it could go compete. Anyone.

Anyone, Mr. Junior Europe. And am I also right? That was his first proper bodybuilding competition. Yeah. On debut, he proper body building competition. Yeah. On debut, he beat the other people. Yeah. Oh, Aurecone is gonna have a pretty good career if he can do that well in his first attempt.

He continued to enter competitions and he gained fame in the body building community when he was voted best built man of Europe. Wow. He had the best body of Europe. That is, I mean. The best of Europe. And that wasn't enough for him. Not enough. I'd rest on my laurels there.

Are I can, I mean, what was the after it? Yes, the best of the universe? Is that what he wants? Why? Yes, Dave, his eyes were said on the Mr. Universe title. He's loved so much. Why didn't just Mr. World, I mean, Mr. Universe, he saw Mr. Universe to be his ticket to America, the land of opportunity. Also, just like a quick side note, like Miss Universe is a beauty pageant and Miss Universe is bodybuilding.

I guess you both kind of like... Yeah. But I don't think Miss Universe have to do like a talent section, you know? Yeah, and they don't ask them about their opinions on this. No, and they don't make a way to keep it. Why don't they ask me? Basically, they do make them wear bikinis without the top.

Even worse. They don't even ask the men their opinions on stuff. It's actually a bit sexist. Yeah, thank you. Why don't they start asking men our opinions? As the feminists of the show, I feel like I can say that. Yeah. Because I'm here to speak truth to power.

And we appreciate that because you keep us in that. Yeah. Cause I'm here to speak truth to power. And we appreciate that because you keep us in check. Yeah. And Dave and I are learning every day from you. Well, I would hope so. About where to see a horse. Yep. And a back horse front. What we should start asking men about.

Yeah. And stuff. Everything. So your back horse front is at the house or what side of the horse you get to see? Both. It's $100 per side. If you go to the front, you can see the back of the front horse.

If you go to the back, you can see the front of the back horse. Front of the back horse. So it's 600 bucks for a round trip. And the front of the back horse is also like a pack horse. So hopefully that doesn't get confusing. Don't worry. What? I can't see how that would be.

So he's first Mr. Universe competition was in 1966 in London. No, it's 1966. That's the year that the St. Kilda football team won their one and only Premiership in the VFL. Really? And Colin would buy a point when Barry Breen kicked that infamous wobbly punt that just- So infamous.

But hit the pole? No, it just snuck in for behind. That was how we won our Premiership. Wow. Well Arnold wasn't as lucky because he came in second. Oh, you're kidding me. I know. I reckon he's going to be pretty upset with himself over that. There was someone more ripped than Arnie.

Who? Name them. He was a man named Chester Yorton. Oh, okay, yep. It's got Chester in his name. Yeah. How do you be that? It's got to description. My chest is your turn right now. He was an American known as the father of natural bodybuilding for his advocacy of steroid-free bodybuilding. He's the father of it.

It's hard to beat the father of modern bodybuilding. The daddy. Yeah. The daddy of the big daddy. Daddy. Daddy, should I be help? Should I be help? Should I be help?

Thank you, son. Now, to bed Daddy can't feed himself because my arms are too big, but thank you. Yes, let me tuck you in No, let your mother do it because I do it too tight. You can't breathe. It's too strong That's how I killed three of your siblings. I don't know my own strength even though I work on my strength every day And I honestly I can measure it very clearly. There are really easy ways for me to know how strong I am. Do you want to see me lift something? Name something I'll lift it. That guy Gommato over there. Is that a thing?

A what? A guy named Gommato? Okay, Gommato. That guy Gommato over there. Okay, Gommato. Somebody lift up that guy Gommato. I want to to see it, I want to measure how strong I am. Lift that guy go-mutter. One of the judges at the 66 Misty Universe competition, a man named Charles Bennett, was impressed by Arnie and offered to coach him. Arnie didn't have much money, so Charles let him stay in the family home in London, which Arnie also now credits with him getting the change, but I meant chance, which Arnie now credits with him getting the

chance to improve his English. So Arnie starts working on his leg definition, because that was the main area that Jordan had beaten him in. Leg definition, it's the lower limb. Nath. Right. So it is that it was a spelling and vocabulary definition it's the lower limb next. Right. They do us. It is there was a spelling and vocabulary competition for Mr. Universe.

Leg. Can I have any of the symptoms? We all thought we were going to have a... We base. The lower limb used for walking. Ah, yes. Ah, I have a thin leg. This man's leg is much thicker. Leg. Thank you. May I have a clue? Letter. Hell.

And you have the opportunity to write it. But it's not what order. Next letter is A. It's not necessarily the wrong order. May I have the final letter? Is it gel? It's gel. It's a dog. J-E-L.

Leg. English is really weird. It's a T-Arc of... G-E-E-L, leg. English is really weird. Anyway, so he spends that year training and living with Bennett, and it paid off because in 1967, Arnie took out the title of Mr. Universe for the first time, becoming the youngest ever Mr. Universe at the age of 20. No, 20, 20 years old. And he came second at 19. Yeah.

It's funny that he really peaked early. And I guess we won't hear much more of him from here. Yeah. This was the first of his four Mr. Universe titles that he would win over the following years. The next year, was that, that was 67. Also in 67, he won the Munich stone lifting contest in which a stone. Justice prestigious. This is weird too. It says the stone weighing

508 German pounds. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Or 200 and, oh, it's 560 pounds or 254 kilos. German pounds are different. Dave, you're the German of the poet. That's interesting. I don't remember that. Oh, that could be old. Who knows? So yeah, so he's not only doing bodybuilding competitions, he's also competing in weightlifting and power lifting competitions at the same time.

So he's doing bodybuilding, which is just about like flexing and getting your muscles as big as you can. He's doing weightlifting and powerlifting competitions at the same time. So he's doing bodybuilding, which is just about like flixing and getting your muscles as big as you can. He's doing weightlifting. He's doing weightlifting. Right, so that is? Yep. I have no idea. I've never.

Well, I regret bringing it up. I thought you would know. Well, I would. I know. Because you're a gym junkie. But not bodybuilding. I love your strength, Trayana. Oh, strength man.

All power lifting. He's body building, so he looks good, but he's also. Weightlifting and power lifting, and they're different. Because I once heard a wrestler in the WWF, say it on other wrestler. I think it was Triple H to Scott Steiner. So he's not here. No, no, no.

What's that guy's name? We don't put it in the same place. Nickname was big, pop-a-pump. Big pop-up pump. And Triple H said to this guy, your built for show, but I'm built to go. I'm going to get back to it. But Arnie is built for show and built to go, which I appreciate. Yeah, he can do it all.

So he won two weightlifting contests in 1964 and 1965, as well as two powerlifting contests in 1968. One two weightlifting contest in 1964 and 65 as well as two powerlifting contest in 66 and 68. The difference between the two is that weightlifting uses the clean and jerk so those over the head movements and powerlifting. And you have a little wink. Yeah, a little wink. Powerlifting.

Why are you cleaning first? Yeah, no, it's all backwards. It's terrible. Clinged in, Jack. Oh, I got a way around. I cleaned Jack Clinged. You cleaning off the first of the four. English is very, oh, that makes me. I mean, it'd be much better if you cleaned up after you, but it's the system.

Sorry. It's what they do at the Olympics. What it is. And the other word, pal lifting is like squats bench press and dead lifts. And you're mostly lifting giant stones? Yeah. No, that was just another thing he did as well. He did some work laboring and he just tended

on competition. Well, actually, after winning his first title, he went to Munich and went to business school and worked in a health club, and then came back in 68 and won Mr. Universe again, all while also competing in powerlifting and weightlifting competitions. So they don't pay the bills, the weightlifting and powerlifting.

No, I mean, yeah, I don't know. I never read anything about like prize money or whatever. If the universe wouldn't have to get a day job. Surely. Imagine being mis-to-universe, winning that and then going to your 9-5 the next day, you know? And then it'd be like like as someone's like, Arnie, congratulations to winning this universe.

And if you could just clean that toilet, that would be fantastic. Thanks so much. Remember meeting at 11. All this time, Arnie dreamt of being a famous actor in America. Oh, as if. As if. A place he had wanted to move to since he was 10 years old.

And he always wanted to be an actor Yeah, so he did he see the weightlifting as a stepping stone? That's literally my next sentence no kid. Naturally bodybuilding is the first stepping stone to a career in the movies Yeah, he sort of saw it as an in right maybe you could lift up that stone You'll be in because it also I feel like I remember someone saying that it was sort of Because it also, I feel like I remember someone saying that it was sort of, people laughed at him for even attempting to move into Hollywood acting. Yeah, and I mean, you don't, it doesn't happen all that often, really does it, that transition. No, that wasn't a bit of a time of like big musly guys.

Yeah. Like the eight is, he probably, he maybe started it, like John Claude Van Dam and people like that. Yeah. I don't know what his backstory was. Chuck Norris. Maybe we could do a report. Chuck Norris, but he's not as muscular as I thought.

No, he's more of a sort of memories in that Bruce Lee film. Yeah, Marshall, that's good. So Arnie did eventually move to the US in 1968. He was 21, spoke very limited English, but he had a pocket full of dreams. Yeah, and he knew what gel meant. He did. Backwards and forwards. He trained at Gold's gym in Venice, Los Angeles, and he worked his butt off. And he was chosen to play the role of Hercules in 1969's Hercules in New York.

He was credited under the stage name Arnold Strong. And his accent in the film was so thick that his lines were dubbed after production. Wow. But that was his first run. Hercules in New York sounds cool. And Arnold Strong, they're like Swartz and Egg, I don't like it.

Let's come up with something like a normal surname, like Strong. Yeah. I like, they could've just swat shortened the Swartz. Yeah, that's come up with something like a normal surname like strong. Yeah, I like it I just want shorten of the shorts. Yeah, that's fine Or Smith if you really want to strong strong Arnold strong In 1970 at the age of 23 he captured his first mr. Olympia title somehow even bigger than mr. a title, somehow even bigger than Mr. Universe. That's cool.

The competition was in New York and again, it made him the youngest person to win. A title he still holds today, he was 23 years old, the youngest ever Mr. Olympia. So that was in 1970. In 1971, tragedy struck. His brother, mineheart, died in a car crash on May 20 of 71 he was driving Drunk and died instantly, but he was engaged to a woman called Erica nap And they had a three-year-old son named Patrick For reasons that aren't clear Arnold didn't attend his brothers funeral

He did however apparently pay for his nephew Patrick's education and later helped him move to the US, but it's not clear why he didn't go home for his brother's funeral. Their father Gustav died from a stroke the following year on December 3rd, 1972, and once again, Arnie didn't go home to attend the funeral. The real rough trod though. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. In pumping iron, which you mentioned before Dave, it was a documentary, a documentary drama, which was filmed in 77.

Swatsnigger claimed that he did not attend his father's funeral because he was training for a bodybuilding contest. But later, he and the film's producer said this story was taken from another bodybuilder to show the extreme some would go to for their sport and to make Swatsnigger's image colder to create controversy for the film. So they just sort of made that up. Right. But one of Arnie's earliest girlfriend, his first girlfriend, recalled that when he told her of his father's death, he did it with no emotion and he never spoke of his brother. And over time,

he's given at least three different versions of why he was absent from his father's funeral. Yeah. Just... Strangely. Yeah, not a terrible relationship with his dad, but it didn't go back for his father's or brother's funerals. So, 1971, he wins Mr Olympia, and then he goes on to win the title, a total of seven times, all while also working on his acting career. His second film appearance was as a deaf mute mob hitman

in the Long Goodbye in 1973. He's gone from the Tata Role. To a deaf mute mob hitman. It's hard to say. Deaf mute mob hitman. But that maybe it was a Tata Role or maybe he was the one giving the slow goodbye. All the Long Goodbye. That's true. Either-o. Well, the reason I went for so long is because he did it slowly. Yes.

Yep, no, you got me there. And a couple of years later, a few months before the 1975 Mr Olympia contest, Filmmaker's George Butler and Robert Fiore, persuaded Arnie to compete again in the Mr. Olympia contest in order to film his training in the bodybuilding documentary called Pumping Iron. He had only had three months to prepare for the competition, after losing significant weight to appear in a film called Stay Hungry, which came out the following year in 1976

and he won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year actor. Wow. One of Golden Globe. Do you know that award doesn't exist anymore, I think, does it? I don't think so, no. Well, no, yeah. New star of the year. So, so many, it's still that I don't have it. It must have been millionth-effective. Yeah. So, yeah, so he'd sort of stopped training, lost a bunch of weight to star in this film and then they're like, no, no, no, but we want you to compete so that you can be in our documentary.

So yeah, three months to prepare for the competition. And he was up against the taller and bigger Lou Farrigno. Oh, see the Hulk. Yeah. Yes, he is. Despite that, the lighter than usual Schwarzenegga convinced suddenly won the 1975 Mr. Olympia. And after that competition he announced his retirement from professional bodybuilding. How subjective are these things? Because it's like who looks the biggest,

like they're like people score out of ten or something. Yeah, I don't know how they're like. There's also like symmetry and things like that. Yeah, and the muscle definition. Because that's what he kind of lost on with that earlier competition because the other guys' legs were more defined, muscular. I went like who lists the most weight.

That's an easy one to figure out who won, but. Yeah, true, yeah, yeah, but with body building, it's just sort of based on that. Like, sickest reg, who is it? Yeah. May obviously, but. Yeah, what did you, who is it? Yeah. Me, obviously. Yeah. What did you mean in that competition?

In that competition? Not a misread. Could you not compete that day? No, I was busy. Yeah, we're with you. Luckily for them. You were with the lake. I was busy.

That's my business, Dave. I was busy. Okay. This isn't Miss Universe now. Okay, you can't just ask questions. Yeah, you don't ask questions. WESTION! Spell lag!

Jee! So, it's retired. It is retiring from professional bodybuilding and film work was picking up for him and it's he decided to put down the weights for now. Oh, okay. Okay. He's going to pick him up later. That's what I inferred from that. So the documentary pumping eye and helped boost his profile, but it still wasn't that easy for him to break into the industry or be taken serious. It's one of the golden clothes for God's sake. Yeah, but he says it was very difficult for me in the beginning.

I was told by agents and casting people that my body was too weird that I had a funny accent and that my name was too long. You name it and they told me I had to change it. Basically everything, basically everywhere I turned I was told I had no chance. He auditioned for the title role of the incredible Hulk but did not win the role because of his height. He was too short? Yeah. This role famously went to his former opponent, Lou Farrigno. Farrigno!

Damn you. Magic Varnier had been the Hulk. Anyway, his breakthrough film was the epic Conan the Barbarian. And while he was training for the role, he got into such good shape because of the running, horseback riding, and sword training, horseback riding. I'm gonna see a horse.

I'm gonna ride a horse. I'm gonna do the back. The horse would see his legs coming and be like, oh no, I'll get on in please. Please. Those things are so heavy. Crunch them in half. Oh yeah, must we have to be a Clyde-Stale or something? Like a big horse. The biggest horse in the world. So he's getting like, he's training for this role, but he's getting kind of ripped. So he decides he wants to win the Mr Olympia contest one last time. Everyone else is like, like a Pete win.

Please don't. And you've had this eight and seven or eight times. He's like, you know what, I retired a few years ago and I'm training. I'm looking pretty good. All I have to do is write a horse and I'm still better than everyone. It's ridiculous.

So, but he kept his plan a secret in the event that a training accident would prevent him from competing and you know, it would, he'd lose face. Everyone Everyone's about he's about to see a fellow for horse. Yeah. Yeah. Do you imagine how buff that horse must have got so buffed? I think there was even something like they had asked Arnie to be one of the commentators for this event and then sort of at the last minute he turned around and went actually I'm competing and I like okay Well great now we need to find a new guy he ripped up his suit Don't I'm sorry I'm gonna rip it off. How do you suspect who went? Well just because you're bringing up I top top five I reckon yet I'd say

Top couple but I think someone a new kid on the block named John Stamos took the title He's big guy Well with only seven weeks of preparation. Yep. He won He beat Stamos. He beat Stamos and then he officially went back into retirement. Oh, Stamos will never be an actor now It's a retirement for like Couple more weeks for that. Yeah, so it's seven weeks training Seven weeks of preparation he wins. That's wild.

It's just like it's too easy for him. Yeah. Give me a challenge. Oh, you want to see my bicep? Here you go. Pow! You know? He's so good at it.

So then Conan the Barbarian comes out in 1982 and it's a box office hit. It was obviously followed by a sequel, Conan the Destroyer in 1984, which was less successful because sequels usually are. Oh, not with Arnie. Or with second children. We are the... Wow. That's right.

We all second children. Here we are. Yeah. Look at us go. Look at us go. We're all killing it. All of our parents are very proud of me. They all definitely understand what podcast are. Then of course we come to 1984 and the Terminator. A cult classic, many still think

of this as his signature role of Arnie's career. And he made a number of successful action films in the 80s such as Commando, Raw Deal. That's a bad name. The Running Man, Predator, and Red Heat. He was so prolific in this time, he also starred in Twins with Dan DeVito in 1988, and my personal favorite, kindergarten cop in 1990. It's a great film.

It's so good. All these films are great. It's not a tumor. What episode was it recently that I lost it over there. It's not a tumor. What episode was it recently that I lost it over that? It's not a tumor? Can't remember. I can't remember. It was late.

It was in the Patreon section of one of the... Was it? Like the Patreon reader, I think. Right at the end. I don't know. It can't sound so bad, right? God, that was fun. Anyway, kindergarten cop, fantastic film.

His commercial peak was his return as a title character in 1991's Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Huh? Cup, that's Sequel's. The highest grossing film of 1991. And probably my favorite film of all time. Whoa! Whoa! Will you be mad at me if I tell you I haven't seen any Terminator films?

Really? Will you be mad at me if I tell you I haven't seen any Terminator films. Really? Will you be mad at me if I tell you I haven't seen any Terminator films? Now that you've seen Terminator 1 or 2, I've seen parts of them, I think. Number one, great story line, but sadly the special effects and filmmaking wasn't quite there yet. Okay. Terminator 2, great story line, great acting from Arnie, and also the special effects somehow still hold up and look really great look really great. It looks awesome

I've seen a parody I think it's because yeah, yes, yes, I've seen that that's it. It's patreon bonus We're watching Terminator 2 and we're gonna talk about it. Can I watch Terminator 1 first? Yeah, yeah, yeah I think it was just because it was early 90s, so I was a tiny child Oh, but what about Channel 10 10 played it every second Saturday night? Seriously it was on all the time. I was too scared. Oh it is it.

Yeah I don't know why I've just never seen it. Yeah, we all have those gaps. Yeah I'm not offended but I just think that do you have a favor because I love it so much. Have you seen back to the future yet, Chilji? I've seen number one. The original. That's a great move. I hadn't seen Jurassic apart for a very long time

I've seen it now, but I reckon I saw it probably In full for the first time two years ago. Yeah, right does that hold up? Yeah Yeah, especially effects because they they went with Puppets and stuff yeah, it held held up pretty well And it was one of those things where like someone had said you've got to watch and they did that for so long That I was like fine I give in had a movie night sat down I'm reluctant yeah I just wanted to get it over and done with it seems stupid like this is gonna be dumb don't answer all that's a dumb and I fucking loved it and

now I'm asking that person hey can we watch Jurassic Park again and they're like we just watched them like but I want to watch it in I put it in age. But number two. Yeah, oh, no, I've seen them all now. All right. And the Jurassic World. Yeah, they're fun. They're pretty good. I mean, I do a very good impression of Chris Pratt

in Jurassic World. It doesn't work for a podcast, but basically all he does is look into the middle distance and glare kind of you know all right Well do it and we'll give the reaction no now. I'm now I've talked it up too much and you're gonna mock me Oh, we've never got a crap. Yeah, is that good? He ties into this actually he self-conscious he does tie into on his family doesn't he? Yeah Well, I'll tell you later

Anyway, so in 1993 the the National Association of Theater Owners named him International Star of the Decade. Just thought that was worth mentioning. Star of the Decade in 1993, you've called it. What, I mean, that's how big Terminator 2 was. You've called it now. You're not gonna give it a few more years. What could be the decade of 82 and 93, I guess?

That's dumb. Why are you doing that? I'm not sure. Stop it at once. The theater network of America, you doing that? I'm not sure. Stop it. Stop it at once. So did a network of America. They're world cubs. They're crazy.

They're rebels. They cowboy. And this is for an actor that was told, his name was weird. Yeah. His voice was weird. His body was weird. His voice was weird. He can't act.

You'll never be in a comedy. You can't park. Because we're all lovers on it. So he's like an action review, right? I mean absolutely nails that obviously like Terminator is built for him Because he moves and like sounds like a machine basically, but then he's like all right. I'll do comedies as well And he's really good at he's very funny very funny really funny. Can you count the copies funny? It's so funny The eraser very funny great movie there's guns that can see through walls. Amazing stuff. How does that think of it? This Hollywood execs wow. We're coming up to

the library. True lies very funny. We're coming up to that one which is definitely a favor of mine. Well, his next film project was the a 1993 self-aware action comedy last action hero, which I love. But he was released opposite Jurassic Park and did not do well in the box office. Yeah. But I love it. It's fun. I haven't seen that either.

Is that the one that starts on the football field and the guy pulls his gun out and kills all the grid on plays? That's a different last voice. No. That's a different thing. Yeah. Well, I haven't seen that either. Okay.

Whatever that is. And his next film was comedy drama True Lies in 1994, which was a personal favorite of my brother and I. Yeah. I love that movie. Jamie Lee Curtis. Channel 10 airsoft. So you guys were allowed to watch that,

but not Terminator 2. Yeah. I would probably do a double feature. It was so good. It was funny. Tom Arnold's in there. Is his buddy, James Cameron? You are.

No, they're going to come. They worked together quite a bit and I didn't write it down. That might be James Cameron. That was a great movie. Yeah. What my favorite line to quote is when they've given him truth serum and his wife says, have you ever killed anybody? Because she's only just found out that he's a secret agent.

Because have you ever killed anybody? And he's only just found out that he's a secret agent. Cause have you ever killed anybody? And he goes, yeah, but they were all bad. Very funny. Can justify murder. Anyway, that same year the comedy junior was released, which earned him his second Golden Globe nomination this time for best actor in motion, picture, musical, or comedy.

This is where it gave birth. We got pregnant. Yeah. I never saw this. Another film with Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito and that one, yes. Have you seen an Arnie movie? Well, that's something I've seen.

I know who Arnie is. I've seen Trilizer a lot, but not for a long time. I've seen kindergarten cop. I've seen Arraiza. Which is the next time. You're actually a love Arraiza. I haven't seen it, but that's the next film that follows. Arraiza and I don't know. I've seen the Batman where he was a next one. You're right, I actually love Arraiser. I haven't seen it, but that's the next film that follows. Arraiser, 99.

I've seen the Batman where he was Dr. Freeze from Interroben. He was in 1997. In between those two was the Christmas comedy Jingle All the Way. That's great. That's a bit of a good fun. Is that the one where you're trying to find the toy with the Christmas sun? I've seen Christmas with the Cranx, which isn't him.

Not saying. Have you seen Santa Claus? Yeah, yes. I saw that a long time ago. Right. I recall it being... Fine. Fine.

As a child. Yeah, yeah. But I imagine it probably wouldn't be anymore. I'm starting to think of Tim Allen movies. Yeah. No, we're talking about Arnie. Arnie. I'm trying to say what I love.

Well after Batman and Robin, he took a break from films to recover from a back injury and didn't appear in a movie for a couple of years.

For now, I need to meet you. Yeah, he's back sore after carrying that entire film. Who was the Batman in that? George Clooney. Oh. That's the one that's seen as Ben the low point for Batman. But at the time, I was eight years old. Yeah.

So that's 98. 97. I remember getting toys for my birth that were Batman and Roman. And I loved it. Yeah. Because it was sort of aimed at the kids. It's a kid's move.

Don't forget the kids. Yeah, right. But then as a nod, you go back and you're like, oh, that's pretty bad. I saw, I went, I think I might have ever seen it at the cinemas and thought it was fun. But it was at the time where I thought anything at the cinema was good.

I think I still wasn't as an adult maybe that I started not enjoying occasional films at the cinema. I'd be like, oh, this sucks. What the hell? But overall, I'm still happy to see anything at the cinema because I get popcorn and a comfy chair for a bit. That's good, but I like that. There's nothing more annoying than having all of that and the movie being shit. And all of a sudden you're like, oh I'm fidgety because I know I'm trapped in this

fucking shit movie for two hours. But yeah, back then, that wouldn't never cross my mind. This is great. Look at it. It's Arm Swartznego. He's silver. Ha, ha. I'll tell you about my most recent movie experience. Yes, please. Um, friend of the studio and us and podcast, Beck Petratus, and I went to see Frozen 2 because we haven't seen Frozen 2 yet,

and it had been out for ages. So we go, and I've got Kung-fi Chair. It's a recliner. I've got a popcorn, and I got a Shocked Up. I'm like, I'm in heaven. I don't care if this movie's terrible or not. And in like one of the earliest scenes, there's a bunch of villages. Like, and they're working as a team. So one's got the fish and he's like throwing it to someone else, who throws it to someone else, who throws it to a little slow back. I forgot we were talking about frozen food for a second. And I started running

terminate until again. I can't remember the scene. Sorry please do go on about it. They throw fish to person to person and then they throw it to the little slow man and he throws it straight back into the water and just like the beats it just took me by surprise and I laughed for a solid 10 minutes. That's like a young family in front of me and I was dying. You ruined the movie. Potentially. Oh my god. That's that man hates joy. It killed me.

It was so funny. Well, well or alert. Sorry about that. Yeah. Anyone has a face. There's a fish. Including me. Oh, Dave.

No, it was on my list. I've not ruined anything for you. Okay. But I can. Is Arnie in him? Yes. Did you buy that snowman? You did it well. You did it well.

You did it all. That's such a range. Anyway, so he takes a break from films for a couple years to recover from a back injury. And he returned to the screen in end of days in 1999, later followed by the action films, the sixth day collateral damage, both of which failed to do well at the box office.

I recently watched the six day for the first time. What's it about? Clones. I feel like I might have seen that. What one day back then as a teen, when you're in some random house, drinking beers and then the movie comes up. I come to write, yeah.

I reckon I've got a vague memory of it and I like that. Coming in halfway through, you know, like, what's going on? Who is this? Who are these clones? And yeah, that would be confusing actually, because yeah, he gets cloned, basically. That's the first one.

And he doesn't know. Yes, that's actually exactly what I'm saying. Spoiler alert. Ha ha ha ha. I reckon that was made with collateral damage. It's not drinking beers, because it came out in 2002, but I reckon it would have been like a film that my parents had hired from Blockbuster.

Good thing about movies is they exist from when they come out onwards. What do you mean? Well, potentially you watched it a few years later, I know. No, but it came out in 2002 and that's the only time you could have seen it. No, I didn't put that together. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. I was 12. Was I 12 then? Yeah.

That's 12. For the last four months of the year, yeah. Okay, I was 11 or 12, depending on what time my parents rented this film from Blockbuster. Maybe they rented it the next year. Oh, I see what you were getting out before now. Okay. Okay.

You can watch movies later. You can. You don't have to. And it doesn't sound like other if you do, but it comes to mind. If I miss it, I miss it. You're right. I'm hope there'll be more on this list.

Trey Lies probably at 12 times. Yeah, easily. Have you seen, are you seeing Kindergarten Cup there? Kindergarten Cup was seen quite a few times. Okay. I reckon, but... Who won't say any of these for a long time?

Twins. Never seen, I've seen long time? Twins. Never seen, I've seen a part of Twins on TV. What's another line from kindergarten cop? Uh. Who is your daddy? What does he do? Another line is, our mom says our dad's a walking sex machine.

My dad's a guy at college. He looks a girls for joining his old days. It is so funny. I don't remember any of that. It's funny because Dave is so believable as a child. I don't want to be a princess. I don't want to be a police officer. I want to be a princess. I just, I remember the bad guy.

The kids dad had a long pony tail. Spoiler alert. Oh, you're real in there! That was a big reveal. Clamp into the wind this pony tail. He had it twirled up under a bany, the whole film. And then at one point he takes off his flicks it out. It's beautiful man.

I mean, he takes off his glasses. He's like, oh my god, he's the ball of the ball. I talked about this on the part that when I was in Japan four years ago, girlfriend and I both got very sick with food poisoning. I'm a trapped in the hotel, couldn't go out, both of them really sick. And we said, oh, let's rent a movie,

watch it on the iPad, and we're like, kindergarten cup, that's really funny. Well, watch that. Oh no. Forgetting the whole plot of the film is that he has to step in pretending to be a kindergarten teacher because his partner gets extremely ill with gastro. So the first 10 minutes of the film are her vomiting,

shit, no, like absolutely being really sick, which, watching her going, oh no. Oh no. Funny at triggering. Yeah, it's so triggering. You can feel the, like, this comedy will distract us on. My god, she's vomiting everywhere. That's not good.

But it is a great film. It is a great film. But he's taking a break from this because of his saw back. Well, he's kind of back now, and then in 2003, he made his third appearance as the title character in Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines. I wouldn't say don't worry about it. Well, it went on to earn over 150 million, domestically equivalent to 208 million today. That's okay.

I did all right. That's profit. That's pretty... No, that's not profit. Okay. It's gross. It costs a billion dollars to make it. So a little bit of a change of pace here.

So what's in it has been a registered Republican for many years. When he was an actor, his political views were always well known, because it was a different view to a lot of his peers, who tended to be liberal and democratic leaning. At the 2004 Republican National Convention, he gave a speech and explained he was a Republican because of the Democrats of the 1960s. Because the Democrats of the 60s sounded too much like Austrian socialists. Now, I was joking before, but his speech literally

started with, I finally arrived here in 1968. What a special day it was. I remember I arrived here with empty pockets, but full of dreams, full of determination, full of desire. That's how a grown man started his speech. Very cute. He announced his candidacy in the 2003 California recall election for governor of California on August 6, 2003. Do you remember how he made the announcement? You know some people might do like a press conference or tweeted or whatever. Rocket pack. Rocket pack? Dave? Oh, I don't know. I was wearing a leather jacket and those sunglasses. I'm too late. I can't remember. Not sure what he was wearing, but he was on the tonight show with Jay Leno. Ah. His interview didn't he announced his candidacy.

You do a good Leno, I reckon, because it wouldn't be that far different from you, some of your other characters. What are you talking about? Oh, now that. Oh, I never really watched Lenoir, I must admit. Yeah, we can tell. I just did all my characters put together and I thought that might... That wasn't Miles away.

Thank you. I was also wearing a big chin. You were, you really wore that chin Where did you get it? I was carrying a big thing quickly. It was carrying a big chin really big. Anyway, so he's He's a really big show. He's announced his candidacy and he had the most name recognition in the field of candidates really I know the other is probably actual politicians They never held. Rick Sanders. He'd never held public office and his political views were unknown to most Californians. So some people were a bit like this is not going to happen.

His candidacy immediately became national and international news with media outlets dubbing him the governor and the running man and calling the recall election total recall. That's funny. Obviously, at this time, the media are trying to dig up anything they possibly can. And so his father Gustav, let's remember that he voluntarily joined the Nazi party, 1938. His background received wide press attention during this recall campaign. So I only commissioned someone to research his father's wartime record, which came up

with no evidence of Gustav being involved in any atrocities, despite him being a member of the Nazi party. Oh, no, a atrocity. That's good. So it was one of the nice and Nazis, you know? If we do a background check, you know, a police check, a trusty check? I would have worked with these children. He's just like a Nazi doing admin, you know? I mean, I think a lot of them said that at the end. Exactly, that's why I'm fine. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no So on October 7th 2003, the recall election resulted in Governor Gray Davis being removed from office

and Schwarzenegger being elected governor of California. Huge. It's wild because their economy is equal to, like, you know, like, if you take just that state, it's like, you know, top 20 in the world or something. Oh wow, yeah, yeah. So much, so much money, yeah. Yeah, and I won't talk heaps about his political career because I don't understand it. But I gubernator. I don't

get it. But like if I didn't mention it and I'd get tweed so I've mentioned it okay. Yeah. I'll talk about a couple of things though. I mean you've got three lifetimes that are report worthy. Totally yeah yeah you can't possibly I'm missing soimes that are report worthy. Totally, yeah, yeah. You can't possibly, I'm missing so much in this report, honestly, it's insane. It's a lot of the people when we talk about them and they go, you know them for this, they're a great actor.

Which is probably what I first think the one I think is a short say. Yeah, yeah. Hey, forget about it. I mean, you don't really forget, because it's pretty well known, but this whole career is Mr. Universe, you won't be forget he had a, I mean, you don't really forget because it's pretty well known, but this whole career as Mr. Universe was going to be a record-breaking bodybuilder.

Yeah, I didn't know about the strength stuff as well. Did you come across that before he was an actor? He was also an extremely good businessman, and he was a millionaire. Yeah, I can talk about it. Oh, I didn't know. Biles my mind. He was a millionaire before he was 30.

Really? He moved to America with nothing, and I'll talk about it later, but he just started businesses and invested well. That's why I also find him inspiring, because of that kind of stuff. He just works really hard. Yes, I've looked it up just to fact-check myself here.

The economy of California is the largest in the USA. If California were a sovereign nation in 2020, it would rank as the world's sixth largest economy, head of the UK and behind India. Where are we? Bloody hell. Oh, it's top 50 good. Is it? I don't know. Well, was there population bigger than ours? Just in California, I would have thought. I would have thought probably by fair margin. Land wise we are massive. We're about the same size as the USA. Yeah, California is just under 40 million people.

Yeah, so they've got somewhere to more double. I think we're a little smaller. Somewhere, somewhere either a little bit bigger or a little bit smaller. Or exactly the same. Or to the millimetre. I Definitely one more. Or exactly the same. Or to the millimetre. I don't think we're exactly the same. I get you how to eat that. Literally, David.

David, honestly, how are you doing that? Oh, my chin's that big. I looked up the whole Schwartz and I got a discography and I really have only seen about four of these. Filmmography? And filmography. I've listened to many of you's ideas. I'll tell you a few tricks.

Yeah, right. You're going to do a bit of an I'd be it's the kind of Actor that I would have assumed I would have seen 20 films you know when people say who's your favorite actor? I'd probably say honey really I this I every film I just love him in it and you love his acting in it He's your favorite star that I don't think you're saying easy favorite actor Dave Do what I reckon yeah, I'm not even safe, I don't think you're saying is your favorite actor Dave. Dude, what are you? I think you're having a hip. I might even say, I might say,

Tooch. Ah, the Tooch is great. I love the Tooch. I don't remember the context of the, a lot of people tweeted me about the Tooch after the episode that you talked about. Julia Child. Julia Child.

He plays her husband. And I, okay. You don't remember what? I don't remember what everyone was tweeting at me about the touche because I like the touche. Because you thought it would be funny, he was called Stanley Pucci, I believe it was a dog cold. I think that's the train of thought you were trying to. And you laughed out loud.

Like Jess at the frozen too. Oh my God. But honestly, you don't understand, like just the perfect pace of throwing this fish to one another and it is frozen into the law It's very funny. I'm very sorry the Julia Charles heads out there who I ruined that experience of but Stanley Pucci that's good. That's good stuff. That's good stuff And I said that out loud and then laughed a good bit is a good bit This is why I have not had the guts to go back in the semifanet episode. But yeah, now obviously I was only being facetious there. You love whoever you want as your favorite actor. Thank you so much. He's a great actor. Like you said,

not many can do action and comedy. And politics. And bodybuilding. And beer. He's a couple of things about his political career because of his personal wealth from his acting career. He did not accept his governor salary of $175,000 a year. It was like kid, be a money. He's like, I want my ass for the 175 grand. Why am I a, I imagine he's got a big ass. Yeah, he worded up huge. What are those muscles?

Glutes. Glutes. God, you don't even know that. I was gonna say quads, but they're lower up huge. What are those muscles? Glutes. Glutes. God, you don't even know that. I was gonna say quads, but they're lower. No. They're not lower than your glutes? Well, your quads are these ones. If you have,

Well, all right, is that higher or lower? Okay. Are we gonna take it back? No. That's scorn in your voice. We're gonna take that back. Oh, I hated that tone so much. It would be difficult to move if your quads are as big as those bodybuilders.

Quite genuinely, some of them can't, they can't, like, put a spoon to their mouth. Oh! Because their biceps are so big. Actually, he heard Arnie talk about that, maybe in the pumping eye documentary, it talks about not being on a brush his teeth. Can't do it, because his muscles are too big. Yeah, that makes it seem a bit silly. It feels like in those competitions,

there should be an asterisk unless you can do normal things. You got to prove that you can brush a teeth, ate conflakes, washed your ass. How would you bike on stage? The practicality, just. How would you like, buy clothes? Nothing because your body would just be in strange clothes don't you stand there and I'd have to like Build it around you there. I've never have clothes on it. My head muscles that big

But what about the proportion Dave because you're gonna look small What do you mean well So you work everything else looking very big there's one muscle you can't Non-stop you work it really work on. I've been working that. I've been working that out. Non-stop. You've worked it. So that's why I'm making it with the gym. You may focus on one muscle. Yeah, because I kicked out of the gym for that. So I thought, well, I'll do it at home. Be clean. Whatever.

Clean it, Jack. I want to clean. Let me tell you that. Some speculator that Arnie might run for Senate in 2010, but that didn't eventuate. Other people said that he would run for president, but he can't run for president. That's not allowed. Because he's not a natural born citizen of the United States. And he has a dual Austrian United States citizen. He has held Austrian citizenship, obviously, since

birth, and then he was, became a naturalized US citizen in 83. Apparently Austria don't usually allow dual citizenship, but he asked for an exception and they granted it. I feel like they have, they, it's a bit of an asset for them. Yeah, don't relinquish Arnie. No, you'd have to give up Arnie. You're an idiot if you do that. Don't do that. They, yeah, they'll be totally Arnie's. They don't have to be as fine. Yeah. Arnie calls or something. Yeah. What, yeah, I, I also think it's not to talk about other countries' politics, but it doesn't seem to make sense that you can't be the leader of the country just because you were born somewhere else.

I'm, there would be a reason for that. I think that's just definitely a reason. It would have been written way back in the end. Question, yeah. No, I understand that it is a thing. I just don't know if, I don't really understand what that makes sense. Yeah, that's true. Why is it okay to be the governor and do anything else but not be the president?

Well, they're a bit funny about stuff like that in America. But speaking of, there was in 2003 when he became governor, there was the equal opportunity to government amendment, which was widely called the amend for Arnold Bill, which would have added an amendment to the US Constitution, allowing him to run for president. Right. It feels like he'd be a good president, even though I don't understand that at all. Well, he was just a fog thing. He did some good things or some popular things as governor, but others, like not great.

And he began his tenure as governor with a record high approval ratings, as high as 65% in May of 2004. And when he left office, it was a record low at 23%. Oh, wow. Only one percentage higher than Gray Davis who he had replaced. Oh, Gray Davis. His name is Greg. His name is Greg.

Oh, no, that's not good. That's an inspiring name. He was called in like Gray Day. He's got Gray Day in his name. Oh, he has Gray Day was such a cool name. No, that's not good. That's an inspiring name. That's what you call him, like, Gray Day. He's a Gray Day. Oh, he has Gray Day in his name. Oh, a cool name. Gray's strong or something. I didn't realize that Arnie was,

it's, he was an unpopular. Not that being popular is everything, but yeah, that... I thought it was pretty popular, and I just, I thought he did a lot of green policy. Yeah, yeah, and he describes himself as like, fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. I love the word fiscally.

It's so fun. It's so fun. Actually, fiscally responsible. So you don't have to worry about me. So he was definitely like, he was pro choice and pro gay marriage and stuff like that, but other parts of him were more conservative. Yeah, so...

Put the poor in the bin. Can you get the poor in the bin, but let the guys be wed. Poor the poor in the bin, I'm not sure. Poor the poor in the bin. You've got to be catchy with politics, that's how it goes. Just weeks after he left office, he announced that he was reading a bunch of scripts and he appeared in the Expendables 2. Let's not forget in 2012. I remember.

Expendables too. I saw it. And he started in the last stand in 2013. Oh, I don't know. I actually have not seen that one. I was in that one. Are you sure that's not the cold chisel concert film? The last stand. This is his first leading role in 10 years. It's not a long time between drinks. It's all the time between drinks. It's fun that he went back. Yeah. I was the governor for a while.

Back in Hollywood now. Then of course there was expendables three in 2014. I think I forget. Well remember, and then he started in the fifth terminator movie Terminator Genesis in 2015. Dave, any comment? No, I don't really keep up with those ones. You're right. Really, you love them and you've dropped them. Yeah, like for them, those ones are Christian, Bale, and things like that.

Then there was another one last year. Yeah, dark fate. I actually haven't seen that one either. I thought I heard that was pretty good. I didn't even know it existed. Because Linda Hamilton was back for that as well. People have watched the age, but it's something about organic material or something. Everything age is man, frog's age. Yeah think about that. You don't think that They be frogs different to a big frog. Yeah tap poles different again. I don't know what order it is

But at one point during a frog is off the tap pole I'm in the middle I think at one point there dinner. Yeah, if you French Okay, well, let's not get anti on front say. Oh I am pro on front say. Oh, wait. I'm so excited For our story to have a terminator maybe not. No. Can we please do that? I'm up for it. Let's like at a cinema Can I pop on? So Every now and then the answer plays them. Love it. Can I pop gone? Yeah, all right then I'm in I like pop gone Okay, you want some you can have a comfy chair as well. Can I have a truck top?

Yes, I love truck tops. They're my favorites in I'll say between mint and salted caramel. Oh, okay I'll sometimes like boys and Bri. Yeah, like boys and Bri meant vanilla Vanilla what a waste and I was actually just like chocolate. You got the chocolate, chocolate, covered in chocolate. Yeah, that's pretty good. But I would say I would always get meant, probably.

Yeah. Okay, so I would make no apologies for that. Hmm. So this is the thing we were talking about before. So he's a millionaire by the age of 30, well before his career in Hollywood. Which blew my mind when I found that. So when he first moved to the States,

he started a bricklaying business with a friend. The business flourished thanks to their marketing savvy So when he first moved to the States, he started a bricklaying business with a friend, the business flourished thanks to their marketing savvy and an increased demand following the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. They got lucky that there was an earthquake. He and his business partner, Colombo, Colombo, used profits from their bricklaying venture to start a mail order business, selling bodybuilding and fitness related equipment and instructional tapes. And with that money, he invested in real estate, buying, it says an apartment building for $10,000.

Yeah, I've heard him talk about that. A whole building? Yeah, because he talked about how prices were really, really low. And that when he first moved to America, couldn't get work or something like that, so he had a lot of free times. He would just go to all the open different inspections and he would spend all day walking around the city. So he just became sort of like an expert. Wow.

Tolled himself and then just made really wise decisions. And he I have heard him talk about now how it's not worth it because stuff doesn't go up. It's not inflating quick enough. Yeah. At the time he'd buy really low, do it up a bit and then sell really, really high because the prices were increasing like crazy. He also invested. I said it came in millionaires. It's amazing. He's a really smart guy.

Yeah, and he invested in a shopping mall. How much money do I have to have to invest in a shopping mall? In Columbus, Ohio, it doesn't say. But he was also one of the founding celebrity investors in Planet Hollywood, that chain of restaurant. That went super well. Along with Bruce Willis, Timmy Moore and Sylvester Stallone. So yeah, just like he just ran a good business and invested his money wisely

and he was a millionaire before he was 30 and then he went into acting. This is still while he's competing. Yeah, right. Wild. Who's got the time? Because also, on top of all that, he has a family. He married journalist Maria. Two families, right? Yes. Oh, dear. He married journalist Maria Shriver. She was the

niece of President John F. Kennedy, which I think is quite funny because he said in the 60s he didn't agree with the Democratic Presidents, which is Joe. Ah. Well, they got married in 1986, and they have four children, Catherine. And that's what we were saying, ties in because she is now married to Chris Pratt. Right. Christina. Chris Pratt married a Kennedy slash towards the nigga. Wow.

Pretty cool. God, he nailed it. Patrick and Christopher. After 25 years together, the couple separated in 2011, after it was revealed that Arnie had fathered a son more than 14 years earlier with an employee in the household, Mildred Patricia Patti Boehner. And he says, after leaving the governor's office, I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago, which is what he said in a statement issued to the Times. In the statement, he did not mention that he had confessed to his wife only after she had confronted him with the information, which she had done after confirming with the Housekeeper what she had suspected. So she's confirmed

it all and then he's like, oh yeah. So the Housekeeper had been with the family for 20 years and retired at the time of the separation. Oh, so she wouldn't own the wife very well. Very well. They were pregnant at the same time. So she was pregnant working in the home while Maria was pregnant with the youngest of the couple's four children. Oh, that's strong tadpoles.

They both give birth to very muscular babies. Well, the chances. So, Bane, the housekeeper's son, Joseph, was born on October 2, 1997, and Maria gave birth to Christopher a few days before on September 27, 1997. So then there are a few days apart, these two boys. Um, he says Arnold, Arnie Swartzneckett says it took, uh, seven or eight years before he found out that he had fathered a child with this housekeeper. And it was not until the boy started looking like him that he put things together. I remember the time some photos came out and he looks very much like Arnie. Right. It's, uh, yeah, it's not great. Um, but like he, I mean, uh, you know what,

that tone was wrong from me. It sounds like I was going to justify it. I just mean he's like, was wrong from me. It sounds like I was going to justify it. I just mean he's like done the right thing in terms of supporting his families and everyone's okay. Oh everyone's okay now. Everyone feels okay about it. Sure. Have you spoken to them? Yeah, check to them. That's great. So anyone can afford two families. Great news. Totally. Like, he bought him a house and stuff. They're fine. It's not, well, actually, no, because her marriage also broke down. Anyway, it was not good. But to lighten things up a bit, I have fun facts for the end.

Oh, fun facts. So because he grew up during the Allied occupation of Austria, Arnie commonly saw heavy military vehicles such as tanks as a child. He kind of loved tanks. the Allied occupation of Austria. Arnie commonly saw heavy military vehicles such as tanks as a child. He kind of loved tanks. So he had one and he had to pay $20,000 in order to bring his Austrian army, M47 tank, to the United States,

which he previously operated during his mandatory service in 1965. So he brought his own tank over. That is amazing. $20,000 to bring a tank doesn't even sound like that much though. That's a good deal. That's the same prizes of like a Nissan.

Yeah. The import tax is a crazy. Drive away no more to pay. In a Nissan. 20 grand. I like how American said Nissan. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nissan, a D-dass is fun.

D-dass Hyundai. They say Hyundai. A Hyundai. Aluminum. A Reganel. Yeah, that's a good one. It's a Reganel, you dickheads. Oh.

In September 2015, the media announced that Swartz and Eger was going to replace Donald Trump as host of the new celebrity apprentice. This show, the 15th season of the apprentice aired during 2016, 2017 TV season. In the show, in the show, he used the phrases, you're terminated and get to the chopper, which equates from his famous roles. In March 2017 Donald Trump had just been repeatedly criticizing Arnie and his role on the show. So Arnie said he was going to return for another season and he reacted to Trump's remarks via Instagram and said, Hey Donald, I have a great idea.

Why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV because you're such an expert in ratings and I take over your job and then people can finally sleep comfortably again. Oh, just fronkey. On Instagram. Yeah, your grandbin. That's not where Donald is. Get him on Twitter. Get him on Twitter. He's the little other grand. Imagine that combo kicking off. That'd be fun.

That'd be amazing to watch. Couple of our things, obviously Arnie is considered among the most important figures in the history of bodybuilding and his legacy is commemorated in the Arnold Classic, which is an annual bodybuilding competition. But also finally, I have a few of his records for some of his lifting moves. So for example, his record for a deadlift is 710 pounds or 320 kilos. Okay. Is that big? I do 50 at the moment.

At my peak a few years ago I did about 115. Really? Yeah. 320 kilos, he's lifting that. That sounds a lot. That's f**k, his bench press, his record is 520 pounds, 240 kilos. Ha ha ha ha, that's so much. I've got no scale, but that sounds amazing.

I mean, think of something that weighs 240 kilos, then lie on your back and lift it up over you. All right, I'm talking. Are you done, I'm pretty comfortable. Yeah, wow, oh, little, you're good in the right elbow, but don't worry. I'm doing it. Are you doing it, Rick? Wow! You're doing the right elbow, but don't worry. Davey, the strongest man alive. I didn't know this about you, Davey.

I mean, I have broken a sweat, I'll admit that. He's squat with similar to 47 kilos or 545 pounds. He's clean and jerk, your favorite. How long did you take? Seven seconds. £298 for 135 kilos. Jesus, that's a whopper. That is insane. Anyway, those are the records of Arnold Schwarzenegger and that is my report on Arnie. My favourite actor. We did it.

What a guy. And, you know, a lot of things in there. And you even squeezed in a sex scandal. Yeah, you got a squeeze in the sex scandal. I, it's funny until you started saying, I'm like, oh, I had forgotten about that. But I do, I didn't think I knew that at all. I didn't know about that. No, I was, I was real big news at the time,

but you were probably focusing on other things. Was that 2011? Was it uni? Yeah, so it was different. Probably weren't paying attention to the news. I find his achievements very inspiring. Yeah. Because he's achieved so much, he often speaks at universities and things like that.

There's a few videos on YouTube when he talks about like everything. They said I couldn't be, you know, they said I couldn't go to America and I did it. They said I couldn't be a bodybuilder and I did it. They said I couldn't be an actor because of my name and my voice and I did it. They said I couldn't be a politician and I did it and I just find all that stuff. Prinsbury. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's obviously a very driven person.

He'd probably be a nightmare to be around. People that are that driven, it's like you can't sit still, you know? But it is very, yeah, very impressive. All right, well, that brings us to the point of the episode that everyone loves. It's the fact, quote, a question segment where patrons on the Sydney Shamburg Deluxe Memorial Rest and Peace level get to give us a fact to quote or a question and there's a little jingle that I think just does. No. No there isn't. I was. I'm a fact quote or question. Thank you. And this week it's it's wrong but okay. Just do it. It's James Cox and he's given himself the title master of matching outfits

Oh, I love that and his question. He's asking a question. Great. His question is You guys do a lot of reports about amazing people But I've always been curious as to who you guys would consider your personal heroes and why out of Schwarzenegger She's that was a pro-appropriate timing for that question you guys would consider your personal heroes and why. Out of Schwarzenegger. She said that was a proper timing for that question. Personal heroes. Ooh. It's a tough one, I've never really thought about a hero.

There's obviously people that I look up to in a bunch of different ways. Yeah. I'm not sure about that. No, that is a tough one. My dad. Yeah, that's probably the same for all of you, my dad. Yeah, your dad, for sure. all of you. My dad. Yeah, he was dad for sure.

I think, yeah, like my parents, grandparents, a lot of family that I look up to. Yeah, they're kind of your own models. I mean, growing up, as a kid, my brother was definitely my hero. I copied everything he did. I played every sport he played. I just chased, I just fought, I adored him. Yeah. Now, I'm like, eh.

That is great. But I don't know, heroes are a bit different as you get older, aren't they? You don't really aspire to be superheroes anymore. You just sort of see traits in people that are admirable and you think, yeah, I'd like to be like that. Yeah, the kid who would have been like footballers. Yeah, yeah, or superheroes or fictional you know, fictional characters or something. Captain Planet, for example. Yeah.

Ah, easy hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. Down to zero. Wind. Alright, water, hot. Go Planet. Now the planet is yours. I am Captain Planet.

Captain Planet. He's a hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. Planet, he's a hero Gonna take pollution down to zero Go easy Gonna help him pull the thunder Thunder Bad guys who like to loot and plunder You'll pay for this Captain Planet

Alright, so collectively our answer is Captain Planet Where the planet is, you can be one too Cause saving our planet is the thing to do. Looting and polluting is not the way. He's a Captain Planet has to say. The power is yours. Go Planet. Right. I'm adding. I think Captain Planet's out here.

Yeah. He's my absolute hero. My actual hero is Captain Polition. I'm Captain Planet's out here. Yeah, he's my absolute hero. My actual hero is Captain Polition. I'm Captain Polition. Whoa. Do you remember that? Yeah, I do remember that. He came back a couple of times. He did.

And he had like the... He just green Captain Planet. Instead of the five positive rings, there were five negative rings. And you had like scabs and stuff on him. Yeah. You'd be looking at all. Captain Polition.

And he loved like rubbish. Oh, trash. You loved trash. You loved it, don't trash. Yeah, do you think James is gonna be set us forward with that answer? I think so. But I think he was Captain Planet.

He's pretty awesome guy. He's your comedy hero, Jeff one. I don't know if I have one necessarily. That's a tough one too. You say trop on sometimes. Well, yeah, that's definitely why I, that would have been my main intro into comedy. Oh, I mean my intro would have been going to see David Adoloty. Yeah, for sure. That's a huge fan. Layna one Woodley for sure. I reckon Anthony Morgan on TV as a kid He was on like a great one of the great debates. I reckon that's the first time I was like what the hell's going on here?

Yeah, cool. You guys, am I comedy? Obviously. You too. Was that a given? In certain ways you too, I look up to you in certain ways, otherwise. In what ways? Could not look any further down.

Tell me which ways you look up to me. Can't it hurt my neck to look that far down? Okay, yeah, but tell me the ways you look up. What do you like about me? I think you're, I like it. Like in recent times, you've had like this wild sort of, like stillness of mine to look at the big picture and make cool decisions that I'm like,

I don't think I would have been able to do that. I've said no to things. Yeah, which I find hard to do. To be honest. I'm just like, amazing that you go, actually don't think this will make me happier and I like, fuck, that's a wild idea. But you too should say no to drugs like Justin.

Yeah, be it nerds like me. Actually say no. I can Justin. Yeah, be a dude like me. Actually say no. I just can't. That guy in the alleyway. He said you're on the drugs. Or you can look at my horse. That was cool. I'll cost you the same.

I'd pick the horse. Look at a horse instead of drug, yeah, good cool. Look at a horse for longer than drugs last. Yeah. One of the last four, five seconds. Look at a horse for longer than drugs last. Yeah Last four five seconds I'm amazing Then the damage lasts forever Think I really look up to Dave's positivity is nearly always positive. He quite occasionally cracks

It's very and it's pretty fun And it's pretty fun. Very fun. No, David's of the three of us, and I think you look very mad. The most consistent. Yeah, he is. His mood is always the same. Yeah, and you like... Always saying the good, silent things.

Yeah, yeah. Being on tour with you is very easy, because in the morning you're like, hey, and it's not you're like, hey, good night. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no good night. No, no, it's no change. Whereas I'll be like, I'm hungry and I'll drop a lot. And I'll be tired inevitably. Guys, but I think we figured each other out. Yeah, we're pretty good now. Um, I admire you guys too, by the way. Yeah, and that's all right.

Yeah. I admire your ability to just get it done. Sometimes, you'll be like up to like four or five in the morning just getting something done, like writing a report or something, like I went to bed for two hours outside, I'm like, I would have cracked, I would have fallen asleep. You just, you two are like, oh yeah, if I've been a fan of it, I have to get it done. Yeah, you just get it done. The second fact-quotal question of this week is our Simpson's guy who's given himself the title that Simpson's guy Jacob Lane

Jacob Lane You better squeeze in. I don't think we've had to say that. I was thinking about we talking about Jurassic Park before and I just made me think of Billy and the Clone of Soros You remember that? No When um, He's almost getting us talking to our poo about how he's gonna write a film and the plot is clearly Jurassic Park And he says that I call it Billy and the clone of

What are you talking about you idiot? The biggest movie I never made a cameo Well Rainier Wolf Castle Of course so glad to squeeze it in there. Well, I'm gonna go in that mandolza. So Jacob Lane asks a question as well, two questions. His question is, so I've already given a fact in a quote, so I'll ask you guys a question this time. Great.

I'm sure you often get asked what your favorite episode or character from the Simpsons is, but I was wondering what your favorite joke or gag is. My personal favorite is the guy, Igkok, Nito, Bitt from the episode Fear of Flying. Oh, tough question without notice. So hard. Oh, my favorite character, if you had asked,

would have been Lionel Huts. Oh, yeah. Oh, good one. The Phil Hartman characters are so good. Yeah, they're so, so funny. But favorite joke or gag. I mean, one that I I love put it in H that you guys do I remember vaguely I want to I mean there's so many that I quote a lot one of them is Went home and there's my exact double that dog has a puffy tail

There's my exact double. That dog has a puffy tail. I must study this man. I think one of the I quote a lot is you'll have to speak up by where you're telling. Oh yeah, that's a good one. I am often wearing a tan. You get around in Tesla, like right now. I also love Barry Burt Bort. Bort?

No, come along Bort. I'm sorry, were you talking to me? My son is also named Bored. No, come along, Bored. I'm sorry, were you talking to me? My son is also named Bored. I love that so much. That's a good bit. Oh, and I like the whole episode where it's in the future on Laces of President. Oh, that's a good one. What happened to you, China? You used to be cool.

That's great. I love that. It was the one, which I think we got sometimes, which isn't super funny. It was just kind of main, huge grant. It to Lisa, you're like a flower who grew out of a pot of dirt. Describe in the sentence as a pot of dirt. But also, that's, of course, that's where a flower grows. If anything, your parents should be the dirt that nourishes you and helps you grow. Yes. You know, that's the dream of any parent, I believe should be the dirt that nourishes you and helps you grow. Yes.

You know, that's the dream of any parent, I believe, to be dirt. You know? Yes, that's beautiful. There's nourishment in there. Yeah. The line that I think I've also mentioned recently was the Shelby Villion grandpa who says, and with that, we cast out that evil lemon tree and let's have a celebratory drink of Ternip juice There's a lemon behind that yellow lemon sheet rock that episode's got so much

Lemon and Troy it is running Homer's running from the the junkyard dog to get back into the camper van and he throws it to me To slow it down but he's to meet him one golf and it only makes him faster well then they're trying to drive away and the flander's like someone's using all the juice he's like got a turkey basser he's got the whole thing yeah I thought you said you could read lips. I assumed I could Right line all the all the bits from the you know the hammock region of the oh yeah, that's how a third That all episode I mean

To my all-time favorite episodes. Yeah, they're two of my two. I've seen a man think about him. He's on shoes. Yeah once Mr. Thompson bits, I think he's talking to you. Oh, there's so many Jacob, what a question we could do this all night. The problem is I don't read him out beforehand, so there's no notice. But yeah, thanks for helping us reminisce there, Jacob. That's fun. It's funny that we had more answers for favorite Simpson's joke than who's your hero?

Lionel Hutt. Oh, Mac Groney, obviously. Of course. Well, that brings to everyone else's favorite section of the show. And that is where we thank a few other patrons, Jess, you know, we have a little game here. What do you reckon this week? Okay, so what I was just thinking before is that we name this their sequel. So it terminates to Judgment Day. Yeah.

Is it, why is also an expendables too? Which is Judgment Day. Which basically means we're coming up with a film in the first place and then a sequel. Oh, is it going to be a twin sequel? They've been talking about that for a long time. Did you come across that with possibly Eddie Murphy being involved? It was like a triplet.

A triplet, types. Yeah. And also, did you come across a story that that was the most profitable movie? I did not. I did not. That's true. It's him and Danny DeVito got like,

they signed on and they said, oh, we'll just take a percentage of the profits and it ended up being a massive hit. And they both made, you know, like, sit tens of millions of dollars each and I wouldn't have been I guess the studio I like this isn't gonna be a risk It's been a weird movie an idea that Danny to be doing aren't your twins and then it was just like yeah a massive success and that they were just Caching the those checks forever.

And then he heard a call from Dan Yonder and it opened up a world of mystery and intrigue. And that was Woodman Cometh. And this is Woodman Cometh II, Woodman Take-A-Thaw-Way. Oh! Look, Wood! That's good. I would see both of those in one sitting. Yeah, big time. I'd do a back-to-back. I'd do a marathon. Much like we were with the Terminator films. Can I wait guys? Wow! I've never been so excited about something.

And that says a lot about my life. So we're gonna do back-to-back one night. I reckon. If you're up for it. Yeah. That's so tedious. That's too much time to say. Oh, I'm out of popcorn. I'll get you like jumbo. My god. The Astor sometimes do the back-to-backs. So many. Yeah, yeah, true. Not that long ago that did, and I wish I'd seen it.

I wish I'd gone and I'd tell you what. It was a die-hard slash terminator, too. Oh. They're both sequels. Gratitude. Yeah, they just put them both together. It's two of the greatest action movies of all time. It's one of my favorite all-time films,

Thank you so much. In the first movie, Potato Run. I'm going to call you, yeah. All right. Well, it was people that were kicked off their land, where there were potatoes. It's a very dark movie, the first one,

tragic movie, and they were moved off their land, and their potato growers. But Potato Run too is much nicer. They've just discovered that they can grow sweet potatoes and get in profit to us as much. And that cash is extra sweet. And sweet potato fries are just like suddenly quite popular. Yeah, so it's a real boom.

So it's a real turn out. So the first one was a tragic comedy. And the second one is a romantic comedy. Oh. Yeah, you better believe that there's a farmer boy next door that's quite good looking. Is there like a, so it's like, you know, cute and romantic comedy, but then there's like a sex so it's like, you know, cute and romantic comedy,

but then there's like a sex scene that you're like, whoa, that was a big graphic. Yeah, like for a romco. Extremely graphic. I don't do it at least. Wait, wait, wait. Oh my god, yeah, they showed it in detail. Oh wow.

What was the sequel? The sequel was... Uh-huh. Bigger, biker, boyer. Badder, biker. Bad batter, back in Boston too. So it was confusing because it got the two at the end, even though it already sort of sequelized all the other words. But it was a big hit at the box office.

Bigger, batter, Boyer, from Boston. Mm-hmm. And that's start Jay Managi. Oh, start him. No, he financed it. Oh. Oh, I'll produce it. So, making all the money when that's obviously a bit.
