0:09 Oh, so they owned a handsome Monster owns Hansen. It's crazy. Hansen has been around forever. It must be the same company that started though it also started Monster opposite. I haven't seen handsensin so long. It was I used to drink this as a kid. Yeah, I was very woldworf. I didn't drink him as a kid, but I drank them when my kids were kids. Yeah. It was like a very like early two thousands of late nineties things. Yeah. It was like canned juice, right essentially. Yeah, yeah, some juice. I don't know how did they have, Like but was it carbonated? Yeah? Okay, I mean, dude, hapn't that one so long? I can even remember. I remember being kind of like a treat though, like, oh yeah, well you can have a Handsens. I remember them tasting very good though, No, and then the band came along and destroyed it, so it probably did have some negative effect on the drink. I would think, I would think they were hitters.
1:04 Uh, they were hot for like eighteen months. Yeah, Um, we were rolling okay before we actually get started started. Um. There's just there's a story that that went like nationwide viral that happened here in Sacramento that I feel like we should talk about for a minute. You guys heard the Taco Tuco we a Garibaldi story. No, I thought you were gonna bring David Garibaldi. Uh no, oh, I thought you're gonna bring up the alligator. Oh what alligator? I think there's national news there's like an alligator in fair Oaks. Oh yeah, then but that was someone's pet though. That can't be allowed. Oh no, no, definitely not, definitely not. Yeah, they found an alligator around there, got out and it was in the waters here. I think that made national news too, that's yeah.
1:49 Yeah, they're like, what's a gator doing up here? Like that's no chance. That's scary. I think this is worse though. I think this is quite a bad. We're gonna what we're talking about? Yeah? Right, what was it? So? Okay? So I'm just I'm just going to read from the Washington Post article here. The owners of a northern California takarea chain will pay one hundred and forty thousand dollars in back wages and damages after federal investigators found they used a fake priest to elicit confessions of wrongdoing from their employees. Why they getting sued. I feel like that's a good HR. No, it's bad HR. It's the worst HR. Why you're just helping your team. No you're not. No, you're not. Like the questions were all about the business. They were not None of it was personal issues. And it was a fake priest. It wasn't a real priest.
2:37 Well, then I blame there was a real priest. I blamed the users. Then, yeah, because if you go to confession, the priests ain't asking you questions. Well, yeah, but maybe I don't know how lapsed these Catholics were. I have no idea. Yeah, that's why. That's why I blame the user user error. Well, I also mean, if you're a good Catholic, you know what you're doing when you go into confession and it's not an interview. Okay. I just don't get how you can openly admit to stealing from a company and then profit from that. Where's the steal? Sorry? Did I hate miss here? Well, they got him to admit to like stealing from the rest of Yeah, well they asked them. If they did, I don't think they actually, I don't know, I don't I don't know if anybody anybody admitted anything. I think they did. I think it was I think I read that you sent it to the group chat. Yeah, when it happened, I read it. I'm pretty sure it said in there like they asked some questions and got basically like about if you'd ever stolen from the company and this, and people were and people were fired based off of their like answers. Yeah, that's I didn't see that in this one. I've only read it in this one. Okay, Yeah, I for my Catholic friends out there. Yeah, they don't interview you up in that bitch. So as soon as I'm sitting down, like father, forgive me for I have sinned, and then he starts asking me about my job, I'm out say, hey, you fraud flipping teas.
4:00 I think it's been stealing from registers. It's a different dynamic, though, if you know that your boss brought the person in, I don't. I mean, there's no confession is confession in the Catholic church, So I don't think this was a This was a Mexican restaurant on a Catholic church. The rules are different. Someone say the same thing, Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think so. I don't think so. Confession is is is a sacrament to us, So like if you're an actual Catholic, you know what to expect. It's like standardized. I also don't know whether this was only Catholics, but confession they ran that, they ran this through Oh probably not a confession is a Catholic sacrament, Like it's a Catholic thing, yeah, right, like like communion like other other Christianities. Sex started taking from us. But have you ever gone to a different church where they had a little bit different take on it? Yeah, but not like that.
4:48 It's not like that. Yeah, yeah, it's not usually pretty. No, it's standard as it's not as broad like Christianity, like standard like Baptist Christian, Baptist Christian or whatever. There's a million of the different branches of those. Yeah, Catholic standard. Well, there's like super like Southern traditional Catholic right like old school like deep long hums and stuff a little bit, and there's some masses that that will literally be spoken in Latin, right Like there's there's some variations there for sure, but like the sacraments are pretty fucking standard. Yeah, it's all pretty I grew up in like a Christian more Christian style church when my mom was pretty religious but or is pretty literous.
5:30 I went to a wedding in North Carolina at a Catholic church that was like it was like going back in time. It was crazy. It was like apparently Mother Teresa was a part of building this certain like she was like this deep history where we were at. I mean, and you go in there and like there's this little like you know, five foot three, like nine year old dude doing the sermon with the with the long hums, like you felt like you were in like the Vatican or somethingh It. It was crazy. As a kid, it was like three hour. As a kid, I wouldn't really recognize it. But like even now, I feel I haven't been a Catholic church in a while besides like funerals, but you go in and like it always kind of felt like that to me as a kid, because like all my all my priests had an accent or were from somewhere else. Yeah, you know, like whether it be India or Italy or like they're from another nation. And then so they all like and they're all over like fifty five. None of them were young. And then when you do like even you know, mine fucking is right up the street, my Catholic church. When you walk in there and it feels like you're in Europe.
6:31 You know, there's stained glass fucking everywhere and gold everywhere. Like huge Catholics scene in Sacramento, massive massive church church seen even just Christianity. What's the big ass one in fucking Rockland? Yeah, Christianity. Yeah, those are kind of we're talking like the same branch right ish, but like, yes, the standardization of the old school shit is so Catholic, like you said, like the Christianities, each each church can take on their own ship, where Catholic, I really do like is pretty standardized. But what's the giant ass one by like top Golf, we have like a basically a mega church here, like we have a we have a couple of the couple one in Rancho. Yeah, the biggest one I know is is the one in Rockland. And that's where like all the politicians go, all those motherfuckers would be up there. Not Bay View or something bay No, something like that.
7:18 There's something like that of friends that like seeing it, that huge one that has like literally like a Starbucks inside of it, Like it's like the righteous. It's like the Righteous Gemstones. It's like the show Amazing Yeah, shal yeah, that's the giant one in Rockland. Yeah, I just know all the politicians everyone would be rolling there, monster truck show going on. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. I never really been in nothing like that. You know. That's it's wild, dude, that's out there. Well anyway, I don't think that the religious buyer beware really absolves them of the guilt of bringing in a fake priest to get people to confess. I think that that's uh yeah, that's probably illegal. Obviously it is illegal. Yeah, yeah, that's fucked, but also kind of funny. But they thought like that was the way of going about it. Uh yeah, kind of sneaky, kind of kind of wise, kind of craven. If you just think someone's firing or stealing from you, just fire them if you but yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But if you're going to sneaky route and you know, yeah, you got a bunch of Latins in a building, yeah, probably a bunch of Catholics, you're gonna get a little guilt, you know.
8:20 Rom In there. There's a whole other branch of the story that has to do with um trying to convince people that they shouldn't report the labor violations like not getting paid for more than eight hours in a day or forty hours in a week, or or that they're you know, taking breaks when they're not taking breaks and they're able to take breaks all. No way, this restaurant's the only one maybe that did this fancy catholic trick. But all the rest of it has to be pretty calm. Yeah, I bet it's common. It's fun. The smaller the business is, the harder it is to comply with all the labor regulations and just regulations period. Like we just got this notification yesterday that we have to like our garbage picked up once a week instead of once every other week. I tell you that we do not fill that thing in a week the dumpster and I don't know if there's a smaller dumpster and we have to pay for them to take away our recycling. That's a racket. That's like you're being like it says, oh, we're not compliant with this, Well you didn't ask me like you asked the carrier that's on my my dumpster. This is just another way to like make money for the for the monopoly. Basically of garbage haulers, and if there was like track at List Baby, Yeah there's one. If there was trash run like Atlas, Yeah, and Republic it's like the commercial. I've always wanted to do a short design based off that Atlas logo. I always thought it was just colors were sick. Yeah. If yeah, if like our trash was leaking everywhere, Yeah, it was actual problems. But we're surrounded by fucking
9:52 homeless people, and you can't tell me that that's not more of a problem for vermin and stuff than than everywhere our trash which is closed all the time. Yeah, it's bad. I don't know. I know what's just Uh, the state's not being ran very efficiently, you think, And I know, and I know that, and I know the guy for the job. Who's that, Arnold schwarzen Anger. Again, as back Arnold what they call him, you should call him a rhino because he was kind of like a fake Republican. Yeah, I feel like he was more in the middle than most people that we've ever had, which is like, was so rare that he even was able to get in office, but being kind of middle aligned and he would never have won a regular um election. He says, that in the in the documentary. In the third episode, we're talking about Arnold the documentary on Netflix right now. Um, yeah, and he's right, and that in our our system of recall and replacement in California. I think they're working on changing it because this bullshit. Do you think there's no Trump without no Arnold? No, because you had Reagan before that space Regan was an actor. Uh, I don't think it. I think it definitely helped kind of normalize it like that kind of like transition. But yeah, there's like a sixty forty year gap between Reagan and then Yeah. Yeah, but man, it was a pretty significant gap between Reagan and um and Arnold.
11:13 But that was the reason that Arnold thought that he could do it. Yeah, Um yeah. Reagan's kind of the pioneer of it all. Reagan from here. Reagan was California house here right, Uh in Sacramento. Yeah, he leased a house here in Sacramento. Yeah. I think it's out by me. Someone it's out by me who was out by the fat forties. I swear there was someone out by me. Duke Majion was out there. I don't know. I just remember as a kid driving by like more like Ferroks and Watt. Arnold was out there for sure. Arnold almost went to Waldorf too. Yeah, yeah, he toured my high school for his kids when he was here. Yeah, Arnold's out there. Um, we just he some kids there and now at all that sounds like a place where politicians kids. What's gone where everyone went there? Like George Cloone, it's a cool it's a cool spot. George Clooney's kids go there. Gen Aniston did go there, Sandra bow Lake. So George Cooney kids are now who at a Waldoor school? Not mine? Martin Ours is the biggest one in Northern America. Yeah, bad. Yeah, it's because it's a whole all that, like land all that properly we have a high school and not all of them. But like it's just like my mom trying to give me Agrother, We talked about this, My mom tried to give me. It's just a very uh artiste elevated brain place to go. Like it looked like you were going to it's like a summer camp. Yeah, it looks like it sounds like a summer Yeah it doesn't there, yeah very much. Does. I think it's kind of similar to getting into universities as an experience. Uh, like Country Day is, except that Country Day is you know, like a stuff above that. But World School yeah, World Left carries a lot of
12:45 your country days, a little more academic. Yeah, and we're a little more artistic. Yeah, Deep left, hippie do your own ship. Yeah. I remember they were talking about like they would go rafting and stuff. They were trying like when they're trying to do their pitch, like look at there's the rivers right here, and we go rafting. Yeah, the rivers right there. Yeah, where we literally go to like our sheep pen and you overlook the Sam Juan Rapids. It's pretty lit. I'm going tomorrow, that's what we gotta have to meet newday. I gotta go do a little talkie talk oh at the school. Yeah. My mentor in high school, shoutout Dean Stark. It's like revamping his basketball camp and he hit me up. He's like, bro, we got one hundred kids this year. I'm like, oh sure, lord shit, and he's like, yeah, you want to come to talk on so sick. I don't know I'm about to say, but I do that ones at Sack State. Yeah, and it was it was a little scary. Yeah, it was fun. It was about business. It was better when I public spoke a little bit more.
13:35 And then like when the when the niche is like narrowed down, it's easier, right, Like I do go go to a semin r and everyone knows like, oh, Mike Paragre gonna talk about some delists for crazy shit. Like now I'm talking to like fifth graders all the way up to like seventeen year olds trying to go play college basketball. They're like, well, what do you talk to? You know, like how do I hit all this? Yeah, it's a big range. Yeah, I don't figure it out. I don't know someone you're in her or Old make it up. I do need Arnold. He's kind of funny. Bro Oh, he's hilarious. He's kind of funny. Yeah, he's really funny. I was before we going. I actually did a speech to a group of interns at the Capitol one time because I did a you know, caltrans internship and they said come and talk about interns, Like okay. It was that. That's I don't think I've ever been more nervous for anything ever ever. Yeah, yeah, I don't get that nervous, but I do like get guilty or like feel bad. I'm like, I want to kill this. And then I leave and I'm like, man, I sucked imposter syndrome, Yeah, a little bit of that, and like I want to make each one like fucking dope because I remember going to those camps and seeing some people and I'll just like not pay attention at all, you know. I'm like, I don't want to just be like another fucking dumb shit up here talking. I want to have some shit to say. Yeah, I want to hit some souls.
14:48 Yeah, I guess he's kind of prepare then prep yeah, yeah, yeah, it's in twelve hours, Barnold, it's the soul. There's your segue. Yeah. Uh. This was better than I thought it was going to be by a good movie margin, Yeah, it was good. I really liked the first two. There wasn't a ton that I parts. There wasn't a ton like I didn't know. I didn't know either. I think um and and I guess the biggest thing that stood out to me because Arnold, I feel like hits us different just because like he is, like he's the mecca of what we do, not for me, but for our industry. Right, Like he's the guy in the industry and he always has been and the worn old sports fest and everyone's taking picks and hoping to meet him.
15:31 And he did elevate fitness to the newest, biggest level and put it like more in the mainstream, but he's never hit that for me, um And we've talked about it in another episodes, like I'm not a fan of money of his movies, like I love him. Yeah, I like Predator, but love I love command I watched I was sick like a couple of weeks week and a half back, and I watched. I was on YouTube and then I saw Commando was like available to watch, Like you know how the YouTube has like movies now random and uh they had Commando. I was like four am because I went to bed at like six and I woke up like for it's like wide away how I watch Commando And I'm like, oh man, this movie is fun, like a lot of the movies they named one. It was a little bit before my time obviously, but like I didn't know, and maybe Jimmy can speak more firsthand, like did they actually have like a fat impact like they talked about or were they more just like Transformers and Fast and Furious to the people were obsessed with those movies. Terminator too.
16:25 Yeah, Conan was huge, really was enormous, enormous, enormous, enormous, just in terms of its cultural impact. So that's what I mean, because like Fast and Furious is too, but it's good. No, but I don't think anybody thinks that that Conan is a good Okay you know what, because people are still lining up to see Transformers on opening day. Yeah, I don't know, and no one's like, wow, Transformers is fucking like, you're not gonna go. You know, I like them when I was young, especially like the first ones. I yeah, I'm not gonna go like run to the theater or Fast and Furious. You know. That's how I feel like some of these movies are well, you know, who goes how many people go see in a movie and the quality of the movie are not the same thing by a long shot. So, like, there are people light enough to see Transformers on the first day, although I think it fell off pretty significantly in the second weekend. But nobody's going to see the Flash and that's actually a good movie. Yeah heard the Flusher solid, Yeah, Flash bombed like yeah, in Marvel's, like I guess, in its own ballpark now because of Disney. But so it's maybe not a good comparison, That's what I thought. Yeah, it's just failing miserably, dude, Right right now, the movie industry is just an absolute fucking disaster.
17:26 What happened to fucking summer blockbusters? There's a there's no money in them anymore, there's no like banger movies look like look like I don't even like, I fucking can't even stand Burt Kreischer. But he tried to do a movie, like, he tried to do one of those like styles. A movie made nine million dollars. Yeah, it all costs thirty to make. Oh my god. They tried to do a movie about himself. Yeah, yeah, about one of his chance Yeah, and it just absolutely just burned and crash to the ground because like people aren't going to the theater and he's clouded out of his brains. Like his podcast has to be top ten in the world, like, oh, for sure, love and all those people probably went, but that was it, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like no one else kids gives a shit. The Machine story is not my favorite. I don't think it's funny at all. But I don't even want to get down the Burt fucking rabbit hole. But I think he's the most overrated not funny person on the planet. I think I think he's funny, but I don't think he's a good comedian. He just laughs so hard at his own shit. I don't even believe it. I just think I'm just like, dude, I'm fucking Thomas A. Gura, funny guy.
18:22 Tom's pretty funny. Tom's funny guy and a good comedian. Yeah, I think that's the defense where like, if I'm if like Burt's right here, I think we probably have a good time. But I'm not gonna go see him stand up no where Toma do. But if you're if ninety percent of your bit, is you doing it without your shirt on to distract everybody from how stupid your fucking jokes are, I even think you know what I mean, Like, that's a that's a fucking bit because you're not that funny. Yeah, I even think Rogan's like that. Like I've seen him twice now, seabast was with me the one time. I don't think he's that good of a comedian. I think he's like kind of funny and I would love to sit down and talk to him, but I don't think he's that good of like a comedian. Yeah, he's not my I've done. I've seen a lot of his time. I'm not a big fan of bats tied up him, but I love like a lot of other things. But he was funnier the first time I time live. Yeah, yeah, like he made me laugh. But who else we see that night? Uh? Tim Dylon, Tim Dylon bro pure comedy Bro. I was dying, Yeah, Tim Dillony of our buddy David Lucas, hell of funny on stage, like uh yeah, Tony Hitchcliff did a lot of crowd work. He didn't even do bits, he was just ripping people in the crowd. Hell of funny.
19:21 And then Rogan obviously was the headline arrows eh is a right? You know this is since we're talking about people we don't really enjoy. I do not enjoy theo von I used to do. All of this shit is so fucking stupid. I want to kill myself. That's laugh And then I have a friend that sends me all these clips. It's like, Bro, I can't even look at these anymore. I fucking hate this guy. I don't know, he's so fucking dumb. I don't think he's really dumb, but he's not fall into this dumb act and it's like, how inbred are you? Yeah, that's why I like, well, the stories are just so made up off the top of his head. Yeah, and like you just don't know where it's gonna go. I think that's after yeah, yeah, ten the ten percent of truth turning into who knows that guy my neighbor wood had one one toe and we used to call them, you know, toey.
20:06 Yeah, yeah like that that that's Korean just not fun. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like The Office either, just for the same reason. Kay, well I can't help you there. I don't like the Office either, but wow, wow hot takes christ the giggle Iah. Yeah. I Um, comedy's tough, I'm sure. Yeah sure, even movies now, like you said, like if everything's bombing, it's gonna be tougher for you to get a gig. They're just trying to make this that's where the same five people are in every movie, dude, Like it's the same five actors in every big movie. I was just je Momo is in every fucking movie, the Rocks and everybody. Yeah, I don't like either of them. Fucking h Flash bombs so hard. It bombed harder than Black Adam, which is hard to believe because but it's like the Rock just sells, and that's how they're mark and that's how they're making movies. And they're like, look, we can't afford to take else. What is going to make the fucking board members them also amount of money possible. I wonder if some of all these movies are made now they're not made about like good stories. I wonder if some of that's tied to Arnold Um. I guess that was kind of new to me where he spoke about it this way, but who knows, right, because it's his movie and he's obviously going to elevate what he thinks of himself. But he talked about like how he thought the job was like fifty percent marketing. He's like, yeah, like fifty percent I gotta I gotta act, and then the other fifty percent is I gotta sell. Um.
21:30 I wonder if that is newer and that's why The Rock succeeds, where other people are always selling, you know what I mean? Though, Like I wonder if he kind of got that from Arnold where it does as we were younger, like ten twenty years ago, the the the markets seem that way, you would do the Jay Leno David Letterman tour, right, Howard Stern and sell your near movies. Um, but I wonder if there's a pocket of actors that, yeah, just never decided to grind like that. I don't know, I will. I will say this that, like with most movies, percent of the budget is production and fifty percent is marketing distribution. That's got me. So, who was I talking to you? I was just talking to somebody. Now, Oh, it's like Chris or Barber, you know Chris. We were talking about how people are just so bad at marketing, show like how's Disney like bombing? Like it can't be the pure content, Like it's obviously marketing to some extent and obviously the political world that we're in, but beside the point, I was like, there's some new movie out and it bombed. I was like, well, well I never even heard of the movie. We're like, back in the day, movies used to be thrown in your face. And I watched Twitch and Shit, which is like a lot of kids. Why wouldn't they Why wouldn't they advertise on there? Or like they have so much money at Disney, how do they not pay one of the actors in the movies to live stream or do a YouTube video or you know what I mean? Like because if people in charge making those decisions are not in tune with like what's current. Yeah, because no kids turning on fucking cartoon network. Now that's not a thing.
22:56 It used to be so easy. Every kid watches Nickelodeon, market on Nickelodeon, and you sell a kids movie. But and I'm like, maybe it's just yeah, maybe it's the marketing change and it's that old school and middle school. Yeah, how is there not like a Twitter campaign for this new movie? Like I don't hear about shit. I don't know. I think a lot of those movies are getting um ads on YouTube. I've seen a bunch of them. Yeah, yeah, I don't want YouTube. But those are all so targeted too, right most of the time, Like those ads get targeted like a kid that watches YouTube, though, you're going to see more of those. I don't know. I just spent a couple of weeks with my grandkids and they watch a lot of YouTube like gameplay through ship for sure, and they'll see them on their Yeah they are doing that. Disney, I think like people like just like big yeah, like they're yeah, Disney's just fair. I guess more. And yeah, I guess because obviously some people are doing fine, but Disney in particular just seems to just be fucking everything became so politicalized. It's hard. It's just it's like you can't really make content anymore and trying to please everybody and it just turns into this like not it's just not organic content. It's not a grantic story anymore.
23:59 It's like, Okay, we've got to check all these boxes now, and now you have the Oscars, like have that new system coming out now. I don't know if you guys heard about this, where like you have to have like X y Z like inclusive things in your movie for it to even qualify for the Oscars. So you don't even have to you can't even just make a good movie anymore. You have to have all these like political and social agendas in your story somehow or it doesn't qualify. So it's like so it's just over. Yeah, I haven't seen that part. The thing I did see is that everything has to have a specific theatrical theatrical run to be considered. So like Amazon and Apple stuff or whatever, where it's in three theaters for two days and now it's in Oscar contention, and I think that was I always thought that was bullshit. Yeah, like streaming stuff, it doesn't qualify or something. Yeah, streaming stuff shouldn't qualify if if it's only streaming. If what if it's just a really good movie like that, I really like The Irishman or something, or some people could consider that, like it just a straight no theatrical appearance movie. Didn't that wins some Oscars?
25:02 Probably? I don't know. It's when nominated, I think, yeah, But to me, if you're only on TV, that's an Emmy, it's not an Oscar. Yes see, I don't even know the difference. What a Arnold one, but it is a movie. What Arnold one? I don't know. Golden Globe probably go for a new Best Person or whatever. Golden Globes is a fucking mess as a as a awards ceremony. Those are just bought the Golden Globes really yeah, I assume I assumed it's all owned by somebody, so like, how many more years do you think do we got movie theaters? Like realistically, oh no, they'll keep going ten years. Yeah, yeah, everything swings back. I'm not worried, dude. I think I think we got ten year of max before they're just gone. You know what's the opposite of that? Though, I don't know where I sit on that line. But what's funny to me is I feel like ten years ago home theaters were more of a thing than they are now. Yeah, I think this everybody's a sound bar now and not a whole home theater.
25:55 Not even that. I feel like I feel like sound bars aren't even as popular really yeah, well like I feel like back in the day they're making better sound built into TV. That too, that too, But ten twenty years ago, everyone wanted the bigger TV, the cleaner TV, and some kind of audio set up. Let's just say audio setup. I don't really like dad, yeah, but I don't even care to just say like nice tech. People wanted the setup and now people just like have a TV or they watch on their phone or their computer as much. They almost downgraded. Like a lot of people watch full streaming shit on their on their I mean I'm kind of in between. Like my living room TV's nice and kidd with the soundbar. But I watched a lot of my TV when I'm going to bed, and it's like a fifteen year old TV. It's like the thick than TV. Well, we're just on such a like a low attention span, kind of like we don't really like we're not like looking at for like fine detail and like a dune or something, you know, like most of the time to get shoved in. Now we want to watch those every once a while, but you'll probably watched that on your nice set up right on streaming. Even sports I like to watch on my big setup exactly, but I feel like it is less popular to have like a dope thing to watch. That's probably which is weird though, because everything's being washed at home.
27:00 Yeah well right, I just rebought um the stereo receiver that I bought with my high school graduation money. Yeah, um, that I sidelined because I wanted home theater set up, and then it became the main stereo at st for probably ten years. Um, and I really wanted it again, and I'm gonna put it upstairs in my in my loft and listened to probably records up there or something. Yeah, my buddy, it was like when we were younger, my buddy was all into like that, you know, two thousand early two thousands, like a dope receiver set up was like the ship I had one of my room. My buddy was like all into that shit. I never understood it, but he had them all and ten twelve years old, I think that same arrow. Everyone was getting nice shit in their cars, and then now people understand like, well, you know, companies did it too, but like my stock sound systems pretty good, Like it's less popular. That's totally dead. Yeah, like the subs and like the fifteens or like yeah, getting a DVD player like those foo Like dude, I feel like you just maybe watching a TVD whether driving when you hear someone's like trunk knocking. Nowadays you're just like what, yeah, time travel.
28:15 It's like, whoa, I haven't heard that in like six months. It's a weird. It's a weird thing. Like just people like that's all we cared about. In high school. It was like loud sound systems, Like my truck I had two twelves, fucking like it was thumb and everyone like it was there's a store. My ears are ruined for permanently from it. There's a listall store on every corner on artle. Oh yeah, now they only do boats, yeah, those like right, like the motorcycles. Yeahh motorcycles like some baggers and ship but like yeah, like they feel like the car market for them. Like the fact they're still around it's like shocking. Yeah, we'll dive back in Arnold. But do you think some of the writers strike has to do with movies being error? No? Not Yeah, it hasn't caught up, right, No, it hasn't cut up. Yeah, it's gonna take a few months before or like years even because potentially years the movies that are coming out right now, the writers that wrote that we're not on stri it's my point. So like there might be a gap, you know, there's definitely like a year and a half from now probably yeah, probably starting in about six months. TV stuff is gonna drop off, like all the network TV shit, it's gonna drop off. It won't even be there in the fall. Maybe I should go be a writer and I'll just take like, yeah, I'll just take the low change. So I went to snopolize it. I've signed up for writing school twice and uh backed out both times. Really yeah, yeah I could see you doing it.
29:29 Yeah, I was really I write for fun like on the side, like and just and I was like, I like, I kind of want to go to school for this, and it's like fifty grand. It wasn't a lot to go to like LA film school. It's like online fifty grand, like nothing, crazy, Yeah you know, and I've almost done it a couple of times. You should and then cast me well, like dude, So note they're really hiring for a lot of writing for IS video games. Yeah, I'm sure that biggest markets right now. That stuff's improved like crazy. Yeah, there's just so many of them out there, and like all the free games. Think about all the free games. All that shit needs writing. Every game there is on mobile everything, and he's all needs writing. They can't hire enough people for that ship. Yeah. Um, but that's honestly what I would want to do. But maybe who knows, I don't know. I've all like almost done it twice. I'm like what am I? What am I waiting for? If I'm like want to do something, I should just do it. But also, like fifty grands, like a lot of money, I get a student loan or whatever for school, it could be worse, you know exactly kind of how you justify things or like whatever. So actually, let's bring that this whole thing back around.
30:37 Would this have worked as a theatrical documentary if it had to be shorter obviously because it couldn't be three hours long? But probably I think you can cut out that last third part episode into like twenty minutes. Yeah, the end of the third episode was good. Yeah, the political stuff I understood, but I already knew it. Yeah, we lived it because we're here. We lived it because we're here. He as Mike was saying earlier, he was not a typical um Republican and so the Republicans hated him and Democrats hated him unless they could use him, and which yeah, normally that just means you fall off, you know, like the Tulsi Gabbards and the whoever that kind of like roll through the middle of the political chain that normally they just get no attention. Yeah. Yeah, but obviously he was a star.
31:19 Was he was he as big of a star as the show made him out to be. Yeah, I guess that's what's confusing me. My was he the guy though, because I feel like there's like the brad Pitts and the Clooney's in the he was like the Rock right now, Yeah, really because the Rock is the guy for sure? That that was ros number one. That was for sure. Arnold didn't like dude. I didn't know that. My dad, like my dad was a huge Arnold fan. Yeah, I guess because my dad buddies were, and like my dad used to fucking do my hair with the spike kind of T two cut, like because my dad was like obsessed with Arnold. I got like, remember they're talking about how he was appointed that thing by Reagan for like the finishing. Like I have one of those like pictures like with the autograph on it Bush, yeah, Nash right, yeah, President whatever. I'll send a picture to you guys when I get back to the cecas. It's hilarious that I have that still. But I got like the T two movie poster in my office at home with everybody's signature on it. Yeah, maybe huge into Arnold. We watched a lot of Rocky, which is similar ere my dad like Rocky, but my dad wasn't much of a sly guy in particular either. My dad hated Stallone. Really, I like how Stallone hated Arnold. Yeah, that was great. It was like you either were in one camp or the other, either a Jason Momoa fan or you're like a rock guy. Right, It's kind of like I hate them both. It's not that that's a bad example, but like it's only I can think of Yea or Jason Stay though or whoever the fuck. Yeah, I feel like I could hang out with Mamoa, and I feel it like the Rock would be insufferable. I don't want to hang with either. I couldn't you could you? Everything the Rock would say would just be like fake. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like Mamo You're gonna get like some like real, like is a normal guy.
32:49 He was in the he was like at he was like in a random skate video I was watching on YouTube. That's funny, and he was just sitting there like talking with the dudes, like and uh, just hanging out at the LA Courthouse, Yeah, like where they skate. He was just chilling so random skates, random askate video on on Thrasher, Like with the people. I don't. I don't work out unless they pay me. I love that lie. That's not Arnold obviously. Yeah, Arnold's very obsessed with the with his his image, you know, all the way around. Someone asked him who was one of the nights show hosts or whatever. It's like, uh, well who's got more muscles? You or Sly or something like that, Remember that part. Yeah, Yeah, and he's just like he's like, I got all my medals, I don't have to talk about which is like so true. Like his like Sly was like kind of lean and trend out, but like Arnold's on a whole fuck another. Yeah he was also, Yeah, he's like a little guy. Arnold's like sixth one. Yeah he's wise. They say he's sixth one, but I've seen him very close to him at the Arnold one and I'm taller than him. I swear he must have been though, because you could see him on stage unless all those unless Frank Zane's fucking five two, you know what I mean, Like he had to be a looked big. He looked big in those videos, but like you see him in person, You're like, you're not a big guy.
33:59 I know, you get older. Yeah yeah, but even pumping iron, like you see him and he's taller than everybody there. Yeah, speaking of Pumping Iron. This is really sort of plays as a sequel to Pumping Up the first half for sure first, but which was arguably the best part. Right, I don't know, maybe I really liked the movie stuff kind of, but like I had more I enjoyed mostly part one. Yeah, I feel like it just felt more light and more like, I don't know, most still, Arnold. I was surprised how literally was there was In the very beginning. They started showing him posing and ship and they said, he's twenty two years old and he basically had like his winning physique. Yeah, Like that's crazy when you think about steroids or not twenty two and he's fucking built like a fucking mac truck, like insane, do you guys like how they just he just didn't even beat around the bush with the steroid Shiit loved that well because he denied it like all the way up till then I feel like he kind of said, like we just kind of pushed it to this. Yeah yeah, but it was like, yeah, yeah, we did steroids for about four months out of competition, then most of the time we were off of him, and then we'd cycle back on for competition.
35:00 I'm like, thank you. No, he's a straight shooter with a lot of it because then he came out, you know, and obviously he is a little political. He's by no means perfect either. He's got some rock in him as well. But because he came out with that vegan propaganda movie that we cover here Game Changers or part of that, Yeah, I think he fucking produced it. I might be interesting, right because he was on this huge vegan kick where then in this movie he's like, yeah, I never paid attention to my diet, Like all right, East son of a bitch, you know, well maybe recently, but even then, you know what I mean, Like even then, like he's like, yeah, I was just you know, healthy and extra. I'm like, all right, dude, Like Frank Zane is five nine by the way, yeah see, but it was next to fucking Arnold. He's way shorter. Yeah. Yeah, you look at my name. I'm gonna say I'm six six one because of my fucking basketball Rob Roster. So you never know what's on Google, right, but let's find out. Yeah, my collegist said I was.
35:50 It is so weird high. It is so weird seeing Arnold, Like at the Arnold and you're just like I don't think I went eight years straight. Well with US was easier because he would always like come to the front of the weightlifting, because you really liked the Olympic weightlifting, so like we would get this really kind of private, like like not a ton of people are over there, and he was getting crowded and yeah, exbo he would kind of sneak in from the back room and then sit in the front, so then no one saw him coming down the halls. I did. It is a little different. I didn't know to like Semi recently said, yeah, I did the Arnold you as well, we've all done it for a decade. But I didn't know so halfway that most of the visits he does are paid. It's based on your sponsorship level. Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah. Fuck the game, dude, I'm such a naive little idiot. Yeah. Where where he goes, Yeah, where he takes the picture off as the platinum members and ship you know, and that's like, oh, it's part you get the Arnold experience. Apparently fucking the USAW was shelling out. I'm sure, And maybe he did the competitions different, right, because there's only like three big ones, powerlifting, weightlifting strong man, So maybe he did those just because that might be part of it.
36:51 But you go to a little booth and he's taking a picture off. I'm like, damn, why are you like first form or something? Yeah or whatever. Fucking bastard. He didn't want to meet me. I met some of the security guards one time. That was cool. I walked sort of close to where I was, but never really like. I got a whip of his fart one time. It was yeah, vegan, there was a vegan vegan toot. I hate vegans too. They do they farty? Yeah? You only fart when he eat bath. You don't even fart when he eat chicken too. You pescatarians pussy your butt queens. Yeah, oh my god. Okay, that's a fruit fruit queff coming out. It smells like strawberry jam. Okay. To get thing back back on track, I didn't realize that it had been five years that he was retired before he came back to do um pumping iron from No clue about that, Yeah, I didn't. I always knew that the world went from mister Universe being number one to the Olympia, but I didn't know that exact story either. So I did learn that it was like his dark night moment. Yeah yeah. I also yeah, I also didn't know he competed against all those legendary names.
38:00 Yeah, like I knew all those names from the Golden Areas. Yeah yeah, yeah, Aliva and obviously Frank Zaney. I didn't even know he compete against Frank Zane. Really, I didn't know his uh, his attachment or first friendship with Franco either. I didn't know that was from I didn't start. I didn't realize it started so early. I knew that they were like best best friends, and that that's in the third part, right, Oh, I don't know. I thought it was in the first It was in the end of the first yeah, because then here the third act of the first part, well, and and it was like a World War two reunion. They got the dude from Austria and the dude from Italy and flew him in Munich together. In the third party talks about about Franco dying and stuff and how friends they were and how this is him every day, which I totally understand and that I was. That's only part of the whole thing that choked me up, because he's right, he said, if you've never had a close friend like that in your life and you've really missed out on something.
38:55 In the first one is when he talked about though meeting him in Munich and then moving him to La with the like I always convincing Weder to that he had a shot and to fly him out. Also, yeah, he I mean that was the sales job started early. Let's just say, you wonder how much of this all was a political scheme, Like he says he wasn't interested in it till later, but like he's hanging out with the Kennedy's Hella young, you know what I mean, Like he's got this American thing his dad. He talks about the war. I was like, I wonder if he's always kind of in his head that that's that was his He's always been obsessed with like the American Yeah, everything that comes with Americana, right, yea. The political side, Yeah, the prestigi of being a politician.
39:35 I bet was always kind of stubby, always in the back of his head, especially like a young adult being around like these Kennedy parties where they're all just talking about like they're you know, politics, right, It does make you wonder how he got into the Kennedy orbit in the first place, because that is not really they told the story a little bit, right, we married the daughter. Yeah, but even meeting him, he met her because of his relationship with the family. Was it the health and fitn this thing? Maybe you remember at some events, maybe they said it. I forgot it was they did meet them, someone said she likes you and then or something, and he said it, she got a great ass. Your daughter has a great ass. Yeah. I was like, yeah, that was probably the funniest part. And then he starts laughing. He said that wasn't very wise in me. I don't know what I said. Well, because he's so charismatic normally he says the right shit at the right time.
40:21 And he's like, yeah, I don't know. I said that. I told him her daughter's got a nice ass. He was all. He was kind of you know, he's he's ballsy, as he would say, right, balls. It does that. That is like the thing where like, if you're six two and fucking handsomest shit, you can say a lot different things. Right if he's five two and ugliest, fucking he said her daughters got a nice ass. He's getting thrown out of that Kennedy party's chairs and he's just a creep, yeah, but he has a little smile about him, chiseled jaw. The Yeah. I always back to the kind of the pumping iron things, like we always knew that that was like a movie, right, always knew it was a story. It wasn't like this like Natural wasn't like a It wasn't a reality show. It wasn't reality TV or kind it was, but it was more scripted. There was some script and then most people realize, Yeah, what's funny and pumping Iron, though, is how charismatic he is, which I think who knows, right, but I think that's who he is, and that's what this documentary obviously builds up.
41:14 But then you see him in every movie and you guys have seen more movies of him than I, and he's the exact opposite. He's kind of clunky, yeah, right, Like he has the one liners that are kind of funny, but he I would never call him like mister suave in any of his movies, but in real life he seems suave. He's more suave in like true lies. And that's like the old that was that was here in my head first, like in Pumping Iron, you know, when he's fucking fucking with Frigno and stuff. I'm like, dude, this dude's got swag. You know, he's smile a lot na, but his words flow well. Like obviously his vocab is what it is because he's foreign, but like he's fucking so smooth with it. He's not sure. Yeah he's not exactly Muhammad Ali no, but but but he is got some of the same.
41:57 Yeah, he's a limited vocab all lady. Yeah, he's kind of a limited Vocabali. Or his interviews, you know, he's fucking smooth with it, or that smooth, really smooth one where he's got the cigar and he's talking about being balls, you know, how he smoke anywhere he wants. Yeah, Like the best video on the internet of Arnold the cigar thing is funny. Did he actually create cigars being cool? What were cigars? For sure? What were cigars before him? Then? I don't know, they weren't They weren't as cool, But like, dude, my dad had all those cigars. My dad was a big cigar smoker, but like he like obsessed with cigars, Like fucking like my dad at one point, I think he got like confiscated, like when when Cubans were like really illegal, really hard to get, like there was some getting smuggled over that he was a part of this thing. He lost like fucking like ten's worth of fucking Cuban cigars. I mean he did make me want to smoke a cigar. I think I've only like puffed one cigar ever. He's been on the cover of Cigar Ficionado like thirty. It just looks he's the guy. He does make it look cool. He does because he's ballsy. I want to be balls I can smoke my stogie wherever I want because I'm ballsy. I want to be more walsy. I think this did make me like Arnold, where before I was pretty neutral. It's hard not to like him in this thing, but I mean I've been groomed to like him, for sure. I've been totally groomed an Arnold fan like my dad I got and it was just something we bonded over, like I think, I literally like I was taken to T two at way too young of an age. I was at the I was at T two theater. I saw two in theaters. I don't have a recollection of because I was probably like fucking three year Yeah, what is that ninety two or some shit when I was When I saw T two in
43:29 the theater, it was like on a on a school break or something like that, and there were these three kids who had to be like ten eleven in there Buy Him Set themselves watching this movie. I thought, Oh my god, where the parents. I have this like vivid, like uh trauma of like when she like is burned on that fence, when on that fence in that vision? Yeah, yeah, like I remember seeing that as a kid. That sucked me up for a rettle bit. Yeah. I was horrifying. Yeah, I mean it was absolutely horrifying. Yeah. I have the kind of trauma that the only consolation was that it didn't happen. Yes, it was just the nightmare, Yes, but it was a really terrible fucking nightmare. Was the night fromare Sequence? Yeah? Uh? Did you watch the movie that just came out Food Bar? I haven't seen it yet because that's his first like movie movie in a little bit, right, Yeah it is. I watched the first movie they did after he left them, The Governor's um Seat, and it was fucking awful, which one, not Last Action Hero. No no, no, that was before Um it's the same guy that did or the same filmmakers as End of Watch. But it was so bad and it was good, right, and it watches an amazing movie. It was The Raisin of Mercenaries. Oh I don't remember the name of to look it up. I'm thinking about. But it was so awful.
44:50 It was like it felt like everything had been done in one take, Like there was no yeah, there was no Anka, well you know that line reading sucks. Can you give me a better line reading there? Or anything like that. It was just everyone was as wooden as um as Arnold was. Joe mccanello is in it, and he's typically okay, right, you know, you know it's awful. I um yeah, I'm trying to think that he's been in those like kind of you know, Terminator, they've gotten done too many Terminators, right, and he's done those recently still, right? Yeah, what's the Christmas movie or Jingle all the way? Yeah, top five Christmas movie, mostted. I do think it's bad. I do think it's one of the most underrated. It's so good, dude, I think it's pretty good. I watched it every year. I think it's pretty good too, that saw that Don't You Forget You're my number one customer.
45:42 Yeah, that was a good movie. That was a good movie. He's but still he's like kind of clunky in there. Cookie Down, No, he's clunky in there. I just wish he was like the charismatic that that's got. Also got what's his name in ite that wife shot him in the face when he was just sleeping the guy from snl Oh. Yeah, yeah, he's in that with He's so funny in that because he's the creepy neighbor that's like single, divorced and like hits on all the moms and like he tries to make a move on Arnold's wife and yeah, he's always over there, Ted, what are you doing on my roof movie? So good, dude, I'm not a pervert. I'm just looking for a turbot man do killing up on the kids in the ballpit? Turbot man. He's trying to get the fuck kid. Yeah, he's diving in there, the raffle bouncy ball out of that kid's mouth. He's like grabbing the kid's mouth in the ballpit, and on the mom started hitting him with their purses calling him a pervert. Oh man, the Christmas shopping spreeze lines everywhere. That movie's got a feeling to it. It does feel like Christmas. What's your Name?
46:47 Is in it too. The brother from the Bos Brothers guys Uh. He plays a Santa. Uh. What was the bruise? Bruise? Dan ackroids no, the other one when that died. Belushi. Belushi's brother plays Jim Jim. He plays like a Santa, like one of the mall Santas that takes him to the Uh. He takes him to the factory where they make knockoff turbotman's and tries to sell to him. One speaks like Spanish. The one he gives him falls apart. So the movie I was talking about sabotage. Sabotage, Okay, I don't think I heard of it. I don't think I've seen a fucking amazing cast. So it's Arnold Sam Worthington, who was hotter than the Sun at the time, right, Terrence Howard, o, Olivi Williams, Joe Meganello, Josh Holloway who was sawyer and lost just like I mean, it's a banging cast and he just totally wasted it.
47:42 Sawyer and Lost fucking awful, just awful. Shirtless all the time, shirtless, just not shirtless, yeah, just skinny, skinny yeah yeah, no chest, no none whatsoever, zero chest yeah yeah yeah. Oh man, so funny, dude, A loss of shout out to Lost was pretty good. I didn't finish it well. They neither did Day honestly. Yeah. I think it was three, three or four seasons in plot twist, major plot twist. I recently watched the big hunks of it, and it like the early seasons are actually intriguing. That's completely out of control. Ye know, yeah, it gets wild, right, that's kind of when I stopped. Well, the end is like I don't even want to be spoiled or not at this point. But the end, like they're in this like they're back from the trip, but they're actually like in like purgatory. They're all dead and they're trying to get there. When they come across each other in this purgatory world is when they realize like basically that they are dead and they go to the afterlife. That seems like it's fucking weird. It seems like an easy sense. It seems like an easy out it does. It is like they build all these puzzle pieces and then instead of like solving it in a cool way. But they were actually on the island. The island's actually real. But they died, but they died later on after the island, and they don't know. I thought they died when they thought they died in the plane ground. No, no, they died. I'm totally instanding.
49:02 They died later on in life and we never see them die and they don't know they're dead, and they don't the island. Yeah, they don't really explain the island. The islands just a this mysterious, rare thing. Yeah, this mysterious thing. It's a I thought that would be the puzzle they would answer. Yeah, they don't. There's really not an answer before that. It's just kind of a supernatural place that they were supposed to go. It's basically like this supernatural place they were supposed to go to figure out themselves, and then they did and then laughed a little bit of destiny. Yeah, but it doesn't really necessarily have any effect on like there later on. It's weird. It's there's a lot of like explanations you can find on what's the best Arnold movie, actual good movie. Two. I think T two Far and away or I mean I really enjoy command do. I think Commando's fun. It's Predators not on the conversation. I like Predator. He doesn't even talk in it, but it's a B movie. It's yeah, it's just two. It's too like, yeah, not enough like I like the one liners from Terminator two. He barely talks some fucking Predator. Yeah, T two you get poor personality. I like the you know, John Connor with a dirt bike. There's a lot of good stuff that happens and act, but yeah, I need to watch it. Then T two's T two's real solid term. I don't have to watch Terminator to c T two or no, just hop into two. You could literally hop into T two and it doesn't matter. He's basically another version of he's a good version of himself from T one T one he was bad. Yeah, he was trying
50:37 to kill Sarah Connor the whole time, and now he just flips the string and then well he's just a robot, right, So it's just they all look the same, right, So it's just like another version. It's not the same robot. Robots a different robot. It's just Arnold still, but he's there to kill the Metal Man, which is a bad guy, which is a bad guy, to try and save John Connor so you can save the world. So just saw the new new one whatever came out in like six or something thing whatever that is Dark Fate or Genesis Genesis. Maybe yeah, Genesis was pretty terrible. I like Dark Fate except for certain parts were dumb. But for the most part I kind of like, I don't I always like how somebody's going to solve a story puzzle. That's my you know, it's like, how do we bring this back? How do we bring it back around? Oh, we need a story that wraps around the original story, that leaves essentially the parts that we know of the original story intact, but goes, you know, in in a different direction. That kind of did that. I don't know, Um, oh, I know what I was gonna say, Kindergarten cop, where's kindergarten cops on your list?
51:34 Saw that in the Pantheon. I don't think I've ever seen Kindergarten. I've seen all those like when they came out so so young, like not remember the one where he's fucking pregnant. I never saw them. I saw that one because it was only like TNT when I'm eight. The movie was fucking massive in the box office. It was I've never seen it, Twins, I've never seen that. What if it's Twins where he's pregnant? No, no, something junior, Junior. I feel like that needs so either remake in our political world, that's what I right, that's good, should again or Rock that's the one rock movie all waited out to dude, Rock might reduce if Rock comes out. Prego what was what did that end up being?
52:15 Because he wasn't actually pregnant and I don't remember being something never again, no idea. I thought he was, like, I don't know, I'm confusing it with a movie called Rabbit Test with Billy Crystal from this like seventies or whatever. I think that like Joan Rivers directed it or something where it was a man who was pregnant. That was the last before Arnold, that was the last pregnant man. And okay, in the film twenty twenty four, remake, Hollywood, what about total recall? Total Recall's got to be up there. It's I mean, it's like the story, it's fucking bizarre. It's a yeah, I was gonna say that, it's a funky ass movie. It is very strange. They remade it with what's his name, it's Colin Farrell's and that bombed, yeah, because it was probably closer to the original story and not what everybody expected. Yeah, I uh yeah.
53:06 I don't have to stick with t too though, but for for nostalgic like I love Jingle all the Way though, for a good Christmas movie. If you haven't watched Jingle all the Way Christmas time, like it's a must watch. Like him and Simbad's back and forth banter is like you forget how good Simbad was early nineties. He was like he was so good, Like what he must have done something like he kiss off somebody because that motherfucker was in every movie. Isn't he dead? No no, no no no. He's a stand up comedian. Did a stand up not too long ago that actually was like on HBO that got some my play. It was like pretty big. He was funny or something or either was on Netflix or something. He had like a comeback stand up like in the last ten years that people like really like he was on a ship tone of yeah, like Disney Channel style movies. Oh do you remember first Kid? Yeah, that one first kid, House house guests. Ye, first Kid is good first guest, and that's the kid that like a billionaire or whatever too, or he's like on a go kart. What's up? You know? He's first first kids his kid? Yeah, but does he have hello money? Is that part of like the whole gig, Like he's doing crazy shit or not? The kids trying to live a normal life as the president's kid. Sinbad's his bodyguard, and Sinbad's his bodyguard and he's just trying to help him kind of deal with this new lifestyle. Sinbad had a big stroke. Oh he did. Yeah, he's liable. He's alive. Yeah. What's going on with Jamie Foxx?
54:25 Two years recovering? We're not really saying much, but I think he's out better. Yeah. Yeah, but some said he couldn't talk. Yeah, he couldn't talk and he couldn't see for a little bit or some shit. I feel like that was such huge news and then it just disappeared. Bob. People were thinking it was vaccine related. Yeah. I don't know if he said that or yeah, his family said that, or his party said that I don't know what, but you know what I mean, Like it was on Twitter every day, like Jamie focuses on his last end, last end, last end. Yeah, And then the family came out saying like that that's all bullshit. He's actually was playing basketball yesterday or some shit. Oh I don't but you don't even know what the what tweets or what greenshots are real. You can make a screen I can make you a screen shot right now if you guys saying anything I want. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it's you can't really go buy anything anymore. I hate it. I forgot that Sinbad was on a Different World, the Cosby Show spin off. I didn't know as a Cousby show's been off. He's good. I really liked house Guest. House Guest was fun. I think that was Phil Hartman also think you're right. Yeah, he like pretends to be a dentist. He's like it's like something happens where he like ends up like living with this family as a dentist. Derek Vaughan d DS or something was his name, like O, he like works his way into like staying with these rich people as a house guess. Obviously, and like they end up loving him and then they end up finding out that he's a fraud.
55:46 And you know he uh he didn't. Sinbad did an episode of Atlanta as himself like this new show. Yeah, yeah, yeah that that ended Jung Glover's show. Um yeah, okay, so Arnold, Um, he's out of politics, and yeah he's he's seventy five, and he's kind of he's not out of politics, he's out of electoral politics. He isn't trying to run for anything. Seventy five doesn't mean much anymore. He uh, he's running. He's very much into the environmental stuff, which is crazy enough. A note from them from the movie. The person who got him into the environmental stuff was rf K Junior. M hmm, yeah, I mean that was his job forever, right, yeah, because he the guy who was the head of Calipa under Arnold was either it was recommended by r f K Junior. You guess whose videos A RFK doing the push ups at muscle Beach.
56:40 I'll trend out of his mind, do that guy so trend out? Yeah, so funny looks pretty good, he does look pretty sick. It's just so funny that it's so funny. I get like his attack on Joe Biden, like look how fit I am? Yeah, whatever, like whatever, fuck you know, But it's just so funny, like what have we? What is going on the world? The is happening a the entire world. This guy who sounds like a fucking h H Star Wars character, fucking voice, fucking doing shirtless push ups and at the president for not being fit. And he's against needles unless they got trend in them, clearly, unless he's taking orals. Yeah that's true. That's actually true. Then his liver is gonna go. But yeah, yeah, no, that's that's actually a very good response. Yeah, he's probably an oral guy. He's more of an Annivar Jesus man. Yeah, it's just yeah, the world literally, this does make me feel like I'm just in a fucking movie. It's like it's like idiocracy. It's like, dude, you have fucking what's his name, the wrestlers, the president, and it's just all this like monster Trucker bait. I did I tell you I just rewatched that because Mom's like, uh, she had never seen it. Mom was like, yeah, everyone says our world's kind of like idiocracy now, but I haven't really seen Indiocracy.
57:52 I say, well, here we go. I think they like we've been advertising it, like on Netflix or because we are living it. I feel like that they're broadcasting it in my eyelids pretty much every time I closed my eyes, I see it. Yeah. We're fucking living it, man, we're living Yeah, all right, Um, let's rate this motherfucker. Yeah, um, I think that. Okay. So the one story that was kind of to me, um uh, sort of a smoking gun, and the whole thing was like the first two episodes, he's very much into um Maria and how their whole you know, love story or whatever whatever Maria as well at the time. Yeah, going on. Yeah, it's also hard to ignore just like that presence that comes with that, that was people Mike Kennedy. Sounds good, doesn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah it does a matter of factly, Um, there have been plenty of people over the years who self styled themselves as it's like Kennedy hangers on. They all look the same as you know they do. Um, I don't think I have that look now. You don't know your hair too dark? Yeah, we got the catholic Fank Kennedy. Yeah, yeah, Irish though. Yeah, so I got like one sixteen somewhere yeah Irish, Yeah, yes, probably, Yeah, that's all I got to. I got to ten percent something like that. Um. Yeah, So that was kind of the smoking gun of the whole thing, is whether he was going to address the fact that they got divorced and all that stuff and that in the third episode.
59:19 It's weird he didn't talk about his house cleaner as much. Well at the end, Yeah, but at the end seemed like they played a large part. You know, it's weird too now that I'm an Arnold fan, now I get to bash him. It's like forever he was promoting his two sons. I think they're Maria's kids, and one was trying to be an actor and whatever that I saw one I got coffee behind him at the Arnold of Patrick, I believe, so the taller one of Skinny he's the skinnier one. Yeah, he was grabbing coffee in front of me. And then all of a sudden on Arnold Socials, it's it's the house cleaners kids now, the one that looks just like him ripped tan. Yeah, it's body type too. It's insane how it's similar as body no, in his face too, but he's literally and he didn't like he him for like eighteen years and then now he's on his Instagram every day. Yeah, that's kind of weird.
1:00:04 And the other ones I haven't seen its motives. Yeah, it's kind of motive, I know, but it's just you know, it's wrong. It's been wrong, thank you. Yeah, and been groomed and you still see clearly, buddy, I was groomed to be a fan. I still still see clearly. That's good. It's always so funny how it's like man like these like the politics is just so gross on every fucking aspect, every level, right, But it's like as soon as somebody's trying to come up, it's like the instant like responses, Okay, let's go find all the people that we can get to say that he basically harmed them in some way, whether it's financially, sexually. It's like that's the automatic, like, Okay, this guy's running from it's okay, let's go dig up all of his fucking skeletons that may or may not be completely accurate or whatever, but we don't care. Run the story. Yeah, that's the whole world.
1:00:49 We don't need facts, just run the story. Yeah, I don't know I'm saying he didn't do those things. I'm just saying, like, but like that's the default for you, every single person ever. Yeah, if there was a bunch of evidence about these things, like these people in jail, yeah, I think that, well, I think a lot of them. There's a lot of that. I'm just don't know what I'm saying. A lot of it is the power differential between him and and any woman that he might have done something too. I don't think that I would believe that he really really crossed the line. But at the time, you boobies, Yeah, it would be like it would be crossing the line looking back, but at the time it was probably very common. And it doesn't mean that it was right right then. Sure, no one, Yeah, no one's saying you're saying that percent agree. It's like, oh, it's the kind of like male role is different, like you know, and just like life and in the world's scope in general, it's like, oh, you know, guys kind of slap ass. It's like, that's weird how it was told his crush mom that she's got a great ass on first kind of Yeah, it's a different time, free spirited, weird time. Free spirit is the wrong word, but it's kind of like it was a kind of like looser sexually explicitly loose. Right, And if you are the guy, like Jim said, there's always a power with that, right. He's tall, he's handsome, he's rich. Yeah, and a lot of women love that.
1:02:06 No one, no one want that and attention, but some don't write bodybuilding business wise acting. No one's ever told his fucker no. James Cameron's not telling him no, right, so of course he's gonna, you know, do what he wants to do. Yeah, fuck James Cameron, though, get him. Just kidding. I was gonna say, did you, just as an aside, did you watch his video about the Titan submersible thing? I think so, I think I did. Yeah, I think I watched that. Yeah, yeah, she was talking about it. He's like, yeah, like I kind of knew, like I pretty much knew, pretty much everybody knew. He said the guy was a kind of a weirdo. Yeah, he said the guy was a weirdo. But the thing about the transponder, you know, beacon whatever they called it, being self contained in you know, in separate from the systems of the of the sub and it stopped working. That meant that it was destroyed. When the whole thing was destroyed, it and was you know, the Sunday that it all happened, and well, you guys saw that stuff about, Like the US Coastguard knew what happened right away and knew exactly what happened. Ye, but it was because it was such like a secretive like boat or whatever. It was like a highly classified ship. There was no them like telling the media or whatever right away. I mean the Coastguard, Yeah, thing was was classified.
1:03:22 Yeah, because this just but they knew exactly that what happened and where it happened. And like it's like within an hour they called depot bucket blowing up. That was yeah, because they know where everything's at at all times, right, like there's people, yeah, or this ship. I mean, I think that they knew it was an implosion. They knew it was, and they knew within the hour they knew. I think they knew that it was likely. I read a whole article about about underwater you know, hydroacoustics or whatever, and they said, you know, the ocean makes a shit ton of noises and it's easy for one thing to sound like another thing and draw a conclusion. But yeah, this this was obviously in retrospect what happened, and the hydrophones recorded it, but there was no way to be one hundred percent sure at the time. And when their people's bodies are involved, you think about, you know, families. But it's also not forget like what a great story to talk about, right for like media and getting people to tune in, didn't they fucking dude, they had fucking countdowns on the screen of how much auction they have liked the name the Titan. Yeah.
1:04:30 See, I wouldn't done that. That's mistake number one. Yeah right, wrapping it right, Yeah, that's just not what you do. Wrapping it carbon fiber also a bad idea. Yeah, I'm not Yeah, I'm not an engineer. I don't go that far, but I am okay with branding and that's not where I'm going. It was just a media like they're licking their chops a shit like that, dude, just like balloon Boy, you know what I mean. It's like, oh, here's this obscure tragedy we can exploit for ratings, Like, Okay, what kind of bullshit information. Can we just start talking about for the next eight hours straight and clicks? Yeah, that makes game. It's a click game. Uh, okay, back to this. Um, this is gonna sound really sexist, I'm gonna say anyway, though, not a rip. Let's pretend we're in the second be ballsy. Yeah, let's pretend we got stogies and we're in the severn. See. I'm all about ballsy and and being a disrupt or whatever.
1:05:20 If if there's a if there's a positive outcome. Yeah, and I don't think this isn't necessarily gonna be the case. And I'm gonna stay anyway though, usually come up with a rating system for these things, and this time the rating system I'm gonna come up with is uh horny housekeepers. I like that. I like. Okay, No, not sexist. Well, because he did he didn't rape her. I mean it was consensual, right, Yeah, it was more of like a role of fantasy thing. God bless them both. Yeah. And little Joseph, Hey, little Joseph got got out, came out all right, Joseph, big Jack, Big Joseph, Big Jay Kennedy j Litt Kennedy blending him. Yeah, he's kind of Kennedy in law. He'll run for something, or he he gonna compete in bodybuilding or I don't know, I don't I don't think he's a sauced up.
1:06:11 He actually maybe he'll get in the acting. Like the last Picks I saw, it looked like he could have been Natty. He kind of looked like a Natty Arnold. Yeah, you know, like he looked good, but he didn't like an off cycle like when we saw Arnold in those videos, like behind the scenes, like you could clearly tell he was off because he was like fifteen twenty pounds. Yeah, yeah, just not his lean, Yeah, just not his lean. Yea. Even the first time he lost a frank, he looked like, honestly possibly Natty, Yeah, because they could And that's what he said. He's like, I had to move to California to see how they got so in shape? Yeah, like oh in shape. Yeah, pharmaceuticals, bro, Like you're pretty, you're pretty in shape, Yeah for sure. Um, I'm going the three Horny Housekeepers to eight two and a half, but a three sume of horny housekeeper sounds better. But my real rating is probably like a two eight Horny Housekeepers go you know, I'll go three eight three. I like the first two year room Dude we Got. I liked the first two parts a lot. I couldn't really care less about the last part. Yeah, but I really enjoyed the movie stuff because I like the movies, and I liked a little bit of extra behind the scene of the bodybuilding stuff. I didn't know about last piece. I did like his stuff. I like at his house because he is so charismatic, hanging out with this fucking donkeys and the shepherds, you know, And yeah, I love that. That was his Instagram through the entire pandemic. Bless his soul. I wish I was living that life.
1:07:30 That was the whole I mean, right, his little electric bike. One of my friends, I'm not gonna disclose things, lived pretty close to Arnold, actually very close to Arnold uh and said he would see him on that electric bike every day, driving, driving to gym to golds. So funny. Yeah, I totally believe that. Yeah, it was fucking sick. Yeah I love that. What wouldn't he? Yeah, yeah, of course. And it's yeah, you're going down the hill and then you either get a ride back up or you got electric bike, so you just go back up. Yeah, for sure. Uh, I enjoyed the first two and the last probably fifteen or twenty minutes of the third one. You could write just the first two if you want it, and then write the third. Well, okay, So I would say I would say I'd say three and a half for the first two, and I think that the m the third one kind of knocks it down a good half. So probably three. Yeah, it's impart and part of the scale of five. Yeah, part of it. I think the issue with all three of us where we're not going four or five is that so much of his stories we already like no, yeah, like if there's about this project, yeah, but if there's like a big, old like piece of this that we didn't know, it'd probably make the whole thing more exciting. Yeah, Like you just kind of knew the order, and you knew that the little stories, you know, like the little stories were too small, like the saying Rise Shriver as a nice ass. That's a one second story, right, Like if that whole thing is bigger behind the scenes that we don't know, maybe it elevates the documentary together for me. Yeah, And he clearly controlled the narrative, just like the last one we watch or kind of McGregor controlled. Yeah, we haven't
1:09:03 touched in on that one. Yeah, should we come out we wrap up with that. Yeah, we're coming out saying McGregor's a great guy. He takes he to run for politics after watching that last episode. Yeah, yeah, someone I don't know who. I don't think it was Jim, but someone's like, oh, well, like he didn't know how hard he's punching that mascot that I think you're just I'm like, yeah, but you're like a professional fighter. You know what you're knowing. I don't care how much paddings. They're like, you can fake it. Well, furthermore, how hard do you think you need to hit somebody? Who's what I'm saying that you're not fighting? Yeah, but like you know your power, Like that's your job. Your one specialty is knowing what you do rough day for them. Boy, it should be like a changeup in baseball. Yeah, you should like it should look hard coming in and then that he should be soft, that he's not winning any awards, give him a baby one like who you know what I mean? You could have hit him on the shoulder with a hat pal and it would have been. He looks fat and strung out.
1:09:56 Oh, he looks totally strung out. And then you got the whole you know, rape allegation. Yeah, the same night. And I'm like, okay, I saw the video of him talking to that girl, and I'm like, and then they show the other video. I didn't see the video. Okay, here's the other video is him grabbing her. Oh no, going to the bathroom with her, all on video with his security like making way and door closes to the bathroom. Security fucking covers the door. Yeah. Not good. Not good for old boy, Yeah, not good at all. The bathroom also, like he grabs her dragged. He comes like from a left pocket in this like back room, comes from like the right area, comes barreling in, grabs her by the arm, but it just drag basically just kind of drags her just like drabs her to the bathroom.
1:10:43 A good look. And then there's text exchange with her and one of the security guards like, hey, dude, what was up with that? I didn't know this dude like wanted to go in the bathroom with me and like trying to have sex with me. And the security guard responds with, uh, I mean would you think was gonna happen l L or whatever. And it's like, oh, this dude's fucked. Like this girl's got receipts. There's fucking video of him taking her ass to that bathroom. Like I think this dude's fucked. Yeah, maybe maybe he's a fucking little wake up call. Man. Well he's clearly just fucking on all the cocaine and classic coke bloat face. Yeah, like drinking like an animal, even on the Tough. I'm watching the Tough, Yeah, and he's just fucking getting hammered the whole time. Just like he's got this beer now now that's like a fucking knockoff Guennis. You know he's pouring those up. He's fucking just taking back fucking proper twelve. It's just like this dude's just on like a weird there's no fucking chance he's fighting Michael Chandler, Like that's he's he's like all age, yeah yeah, yeah, but he looks like he's fucking forty five.
1:11:45 Yeah, not good, not good. That documentary. He's a big trouble. Yeah, there's no part B to this one. Yeah, this that's the third episode I want to see. It was fucking downfall is spire just the truth? Yeah, I just want a little truth. What just shows you? Man like but you know, one hundred million dollars he does with people sometimes, Man, he just can't fucking handle it for especially an extreme personality like that. Yeah, yeah, he's already off the rails. I'm listening to this podcast right now called Death on the Lot and it's Adam McKay, the guy who directed The Big Short. It is this cluster of actors that died in the fifties and not necessarily under strange circumstances, but it talks about like all the forces that aligned in their lives to make them this way. Like one of them was George Reeves, the guy who's a original Superman on TV, and like he had no idea. He thought he was told no one would ever see it or whatever, and he just became a prisoner of it. But he had a like he I think he was agent.
1:12:47 I think he was fucking his agent's wife, and everybody knew, and his agent knew, and agent had a had a girlfriend, and so they would double date and he would appear to be with the agent's girlfriend, but he was really there for the agents like anyway, I'm just school old school Hollywood, old school Hollywood though, where all sorts of shit happened and it wasn't and like people knew but like the public didn't know. Yeah, a lot easier to hide that ship those days. I mean, you don't even don't even want to know the ship that went on like before all like in like an old Hollywood style like that shit like that, like dude, oh my god. The first season of this show is called Death at the Wing and it's about um, basically, it's about the ABA mm hmmm um and how how uh the NBA ended up just absorbing the the AB and just like all the competitive stuff. And I only saw the or first listen listen to the first episode because everything else is behind to pay well and I don't know if how I interested. I am, but I'm not worth probably not worth it. This one, this other one about all the actors, and it's like just crazy crazy shit mobsters and yeah, well there's money, yeah for sure, all right for unions too, Riley, Oh yeah, it's unions mobsters whatever. And the talks about how how the how unions legal mobsters?
1:14:18 Well the mob just ran the union. Well That's not how it started out, but that's how it ended out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that really degraded the reputation of unions in America when organized crime was so deeply built in New York City. That's true, that's true, all right. Dean how people?
