Speaker 1 (00:04):
I still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us. This is inside Thoughts or.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Check check check. Welcome back to inside Thoughts. I hope
you're doing good. I got a cool interview for you
at the end of the podcast with actor comedian Tom
Arnold talks about being friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is
pretty cool. Not not too many people you talk to
are like, I'm friends with Arnold.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Then that's it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like how many people have you ever talked to that
were friends with the terminator?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's wow.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hope you're having a good week. I had, ah, I
had a long weekend. My mom came into town, me
her and names were chilling, and uh Ames got mad
at me because I failed one of the many hypothetical
situations that arises during the day when you're in a relationship,
(01:01):
like we're just, you know, sitting there talking, having a
good time, and she goes, I was thinking about what
I would do if you died. I love you so much.
I think I would probably just kill myself. And I
was like, oh, that's that's a lot. Like you don't
want to like try to live and have a good life,
like collect my wife insurance you know, like go have
(01:24):
fun for a weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
She was like, no, I'll just kill myself. I love
you so much. And I was like, oh okay, and
then she was like, what would you do?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Like, I don't know, I'd probably like wait a week
before I killed myself and play video games without you
complain about.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
She didn't like that answer.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just don't like, I'm not saying that like that's
what I would do. I'd be so heartbroken. I just
like I think i'd need months to grieve, you know,
like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be able to
like weave my house and probably lose my job.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
My wife's gonna fall apart.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But then after like I don't know the fourth month,
I think week one, I'm just gonna drink beer and
play video games in my boxers with no bitch in
her complaint.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
She didn't like that answer, but I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Funny, you know, because how many would you still love
me if I was a worm conversations? Can you like
answer seriously or like, you know, first six months lovingly dating?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Given those kind of answers like baby, I would love
you if you respected.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Dirt before you just like no, I'd fucking sit in
peace and quiet for a week and then I would,
you know, kill myself and we'd be sitting in hell together.
All right, starting off dark on the podcast this week,
I'm kidd We had fun though. My mom came into town.
(02:54):
You know, she was like, I gotta come check out
Indy because it's funny. You know, like if you live
in northeast Ohio, Indianapolis is one of those places you
just have like zero want to go to, you know
what I mean, Like anywhere in the Midwest if you
already live in the Midwest, if it's not like Chicago
or you're not going there for some kind of sports tournament,
(03:15):
you don't care. Like before we lived in India, was like, oh,
I bet you it's a worse version in Cleveland. Like no,
it's actually very nice, a lot of stuff to do.
So we were having a good time. She was surprised,
but it was funny because like you know, when your
parents come to visit, they you know, are coming into
your space, but they still have like their little quirks
(03:38):
of things that they like to do from their life,
and if they're staying for a certain number of days,
they like doing their routine. So my mom says, she
has like one cup of coffee every day, just one.
She can't have any more than one. So me and
Ames will drink, you know, a couple of cups coffee
a day. Ames will probably have like f teen cups
(04:00):
coffee a day and then be.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Like, Oh, don't know why I'm so anxious. It's like
cause you're drinking jet fuel for eight hours a day,
that's why.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Anyway, So my mom was like I was being, you know,
the nice sun that I am. So I made her
a cup of coffee in the morning and she was like,
I need cream, and I go, well, we're adults, so
we don't keep cream in our house. Drink the coffee
black like you're supposed to drink it. She was like,
this is my one cup of coffee did I drink
(04:31):
a day. I need cream in it. And I was like, okay,
well we don't have it. What do you want me
to do? She was like, I got cream in a
cup from Starbucks yesterday. It's out in my car, go
get it. And I was like, it's been frothing and
boiling in the sun all day and you want that cream.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You can't just drink it black. She was like, no,
I need it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I was like okay, And of course Ames is
ganging up on her or on me with her, like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Go get your mom some cream. Be a good son.
I'm like, I'll go get this cream.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So I go get the half and a half out
of the car by the way, frothed up looking white
cottage cheese. But I'm like, you know what. I even
showed it to her. I was like, you sure you
want this in your coffee, and she goes yeah. I
was like, okay, So I take the cream and I
put it in the coffee and I give it to her,
and instead of saying thank you like a normal person,
(05:26):
she goes, that's too much cream.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's like, that's my house. Free.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I didn't say that to my mom. That was then
inside thought, obviously, but I was like, are you kidding me?
Like the balls of that, someone makes you a cup
of coffee and the first thing you do is criticize
it is too much cream.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So I was like, all right, I'll pour it out.
She goes, no, it's fine, you drink.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It, and then she drank it hatefully the rest of
the time, just like the balls to come into somebody's
house and turn your nose up at their hospitality. It's insane.
The balls do that. It's it's almost as bad as
the balls. The government has to lie about Epstein. Have
you seen the recent developments? I know I keep bringing
(06:09):
this up, but it gets crazier every single week. First
there was there are these files on Epstein. We're gonna
get everybody, We're gonna release the files. People are going
to jail. There's bad people in this world running the government.
We're gonna do it. And then they were like, oh yeah,
there's nothing bad in those files. And everybody's like what like,
(06:30):
oh no, no, no, just kidding, Uh, there's no files. And
we're like what you just said there was files. They're like, yeah,
but who cares about the FI?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Do you do? You still care about that? That was
two days ago.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's like how middle schoolers talk about something like there's
always one kid in your in your grade who poops
their pants, and then they come to school the next
day like hey, what's going on. It's like, no, no, no,
we still remember you shit yourself yesterday in science? So
I go, come on, dude, you care about that? Oh yesterday?
(07:04):
Forget shout out to super Bad. But then they're like,
you know, people are still asking like, hey, where the
Epstein files? What are we doing with that? So they
took a new approach. They were like, well, actually the
Democrats made these files. By the way, put a lot
of their own people in the files to make it
(07:25):
seem like they didn't make the files, but they really
made the files. And we were like, oh, okay, well
obviously that's not true, but send everybody to jail. And
now they're throwing more stuff out to get people to
not care about the files, Like they're like, okay, well
Obama attempted a coup to try and get Hillary to
(07:48):
win the election and take it away from Trump. All right,
throw them in jail, give me the Epstein files. Well, well,
we're also releasing all the all the files in the documents,
two hundred and thirty thousand files on how we actually
assassinated Martin Luther King Junior because he was trying to
(08:09):
bring people together and uplift black people. Okay, well, everybody
who's involved in that, go to jail, bring us the files.
They're throwing everything like we are two weeks away from
them saying actually there's reptilian people living. Reptilians they're like lizards,
but they're people. Reptilians live under the Colorado Airport.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
They're there.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The Illuminati is reel Okay, get them out of here
and then give me.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The Epstein files. People.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Don't forget telling you they We're two weeks away from
them just dropping some of the craziest shit, like the
JFK stuff's.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Gonna come out.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We're gonna find out, you know, government did that, and
then people are still gonna be like, hey, where's the files.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm like, the moon's made of cheese. Will you stop
asking about the files? So we're never getting those.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But on the bright side, I got to ride and
uh well two seater dirt race car at the Ani
Motor Speedway.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hey nice change up, man, you're covering up the Epstein
files too. No, I just there's nothing else to say.
Give me the files, that's all I want.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Just give them to me.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But we're doing like this radio promotion where good job pig,
she's chasing the fly. She just grabbed it with her paw,
who's an athlete. Good girl, I'm not gonna be able
to give you a treat if you get it.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh she got it. Ames will you give her a treat? Please?
Thank you, good girl.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So we're training a pig to eat flies that come
in the house. Like well, we we'll weave the door open,
and like two or three bugs will get in the
house a day, and it's like something for her to
play with and do because she likes murdering things. And
we keep it going by every time she kills one
and eats it and cleans up the house or protects it.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Who's protecting the house, We'll give her a treat. Positive reinforcement.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Anyway, got to go to the Indie Motor Speedway and
they're hyping up like their dirt track races and they
were like, yeah, you guys want to come out and
ride in them. I was like, yeah, cool, we'll do that.
I did not realize how big the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was.
Like I drove, I typed in the directions and I
was driving down there to get to it, and I
(10:32):
see like these tunnels that you can turn in to
go into the motor Speedway and I was like, oh,
I'm probably not allowed to go in there. So I
drove up to like the administrative building and the ticket
office and I was like Hey, I'm trying to get
to the dirt track.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They go, yeah, baby, just go on in, go on in,
right in. I go through the tunnels. I go, yeah,
go on in.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So you drive in to the tunnels and there's this
security guard that like asks you what you're trying to do,
and he'll point you in the right direct. Super nice guy.
But like you pull in and it's on the way
to the museum, which is like in the middle of
the Indie Motor Speedway. And I told him, I was like, hey,
you know work at the radio station. I got to
go like right on the dirt track or whatever. And
(11:13):
he goes, all right, man, you're gonna want to do
a U turn, go through over there and drive through.
You're going to cross the main track. Look both ways,
and then just go right through there and you'll see
the dirt track. And I was like, look both ways.
Are there cars driving on this thing right now? These
things go two hundred miles an hour. I'm not trying
to get sideswiped by an X wing Fighter or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Those F one cars are going too fast.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So I'm driving through and I I wish because you know,
I didn't have any gas in my car. I was
waiting to go get gas, and if I had had
a full tank of gas, I would have taken a
wrong turn onto the track and just done one wap
like the it was itching inside of me. It'd just
be like, just just make a left right here, one
(12:00):
lap around the track in the Challenger, and then when
someone goes.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Hey, what are you doing? Like, oh, sorry, I forgot
the guy told me go this way. I guess I'll
just go all the way.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Around, but didn't do that anyway, go up to the
dirt track, and everybody that works at the Indie Motor
Speedway is super nice.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I forgot to say how big it was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Like the guy was telling me, you can fit the
whole Vatican City inside the Indy Motor Speedway.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You can fit like a couple of football stadiums Yankee
Stadium all to the stadiums in the arenas, you can
fit them inside this place. And they built it in
like nineteen oh nine. Crazy that we had the ability
to make that kind of architecture back then. Anyway, so
we hop in this, uh, you gotta put the suit onto,
like hopping this whole two seater.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Put the suit on the helmet.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's like if you've ever gone to one of those
expensive go kart racing places, it's the exact same thing,
except you're.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Just with a guy who's driving you around.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And I was sitting in the back and they give
you like a fake steering wheel, like you know what
they do for kids, like when kids are finally like
aware enough when they're sitting in their car seat and
they're like, I.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Want to drive.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
How come I can't drive?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the parents are like, give me the Fisher Price
fake steering wheel to shut this kid up so I
can go to the grocery store without them asking me
a million questions. So that's what I'm sitting in the back.
I go, hey, is this steering wheel doing anything? They
go no, but it's fun. I was like, oh okay,
they're sending me back here like I'm a child, and
I didn't think it was gonna be that scary.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Holy shit, it was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
This guy, he was, you know, the driver, super nice guy,
but he was one of those guys you know who
had three first names like Kurt, Michael, Douglas, Thomas or
something like that, and he was all about going as
fast as possible as close to the wall.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
As you could go.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And if you're going like towards a wall at seventy
miles an hour, and then you know, he just makes
it cut and starts drifting, you feel like you're gonna
flip over and go right into the wall.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I was pissing myself in this thing. But you get
out and you got like a little adrenaline. You're like, WHOA.
So that was that was fun. Highly recommend it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And also if you're around Indy, did that just lose everything?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Is this not working right? Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know what happened, but computer just took a shit.
It's back though, We're good. What else have I done?
I watched Uh. I finally watched Sinners, the Michael B.
Jordan Ryan Coogler movie. Super good movie, like very cool,
didn't you know? It wasn't one of those ones where
it was predictable, like you had enough background of what
(14:39):
was going on to where you're like, oh, okay, this
is this is cool. I know what's going on, but
I don't know where it's going. It was a fun movie,
except I was cracking up because like when the movie
first came out, I saw like a lot of people
tweet and saying, if you're a white person watching this movie,
you're gonna feel a bunch of white guilt after you
watch this movie. And I was like, okay, like I don't,
(15:02):
I don't get why I watched it. And it's like,
are the bad guys white?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Should they be bad guys in the context at their back? Absolutely,
I didn't feel any kind of white guy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Was like, yeah, kill shoot them again.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't know if that makes me a bad white
person or like, I don't did the people that had
white guilt like after watching that movie, do they feel
a certain type of way. Like I'm not gonna give
anything away, but like, you know, some clan members got killed.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Who's sitting in the movie theater going, ah, they killed
the Klan, not the Grand Wizard. You want that guy
to die? Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I didn't understand the you're gonna feel white guilt after
watching this movie. I thought it was a good movie,
and I thought the appropriate people that needed to die
in that movie died. I thought it was very well done.
All Right, Uh, let's get your headline of the week
and then uh, we'll get to the interview with Tom Arnold.
This one is crazy. Like every day I get on
(16:05):
the Internet and I read something that I never thought
I would read in my entire life. Summer associate fired
from New York City law firm after biting as many
as ten colleagues.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Biting.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's crazy, Like we all know, like we all knew
some some kid in elementary school who was a bier,
you know what I mean, Like wasn't socialized with other people,
or wasn't like getting enough attention, so they'd start biting.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
They'd be like, oh, stop it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But the teacher just gave him a glo stick and
he nod on that until he was, you know, chilled
out or his mouth got glued shut.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But everybody grows out of that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Adults don't bite unless you're like on bath salts or
you're a zombie or something. But according according to this article,
the behavior started early in the program at the law
firm and continued for weeks before she was finally fired.
It was a girl. No, but see this is ames
(17:10):
just goes girl. She was surprised that a girl was biting.
I knew it was a girl as soon as I
read the headline, because she got away with biting ten people.
If a guy bites one person, hey you're going to jail. Yeah,
it's always a little boys that bite. But that's why
(17:31):
I'm saying, like this is this is where it gets crazy.
Is this is a quote. She was biting people all
summer and nobody was reporting it for some reason. Where's
this one quote? Like? Because I was wondering, like at first,
like how good is this girl at her job that
(17:51):
they didn't fire her immediately for biting people? And then
nothing like she was an intern, So I was like, well,
she could have been that good, And then I read
this quote that said the biting was not described as aggressive,
but rather framed as an offbeat or faux quirky behavior
(18:12):
people said from the firm. That means this girl was
smoking hot. That's the only way she got away with this.
There are very few people that can get away with
crimes like biting little children, sometimes dogs if they're owned
by white people and hot girls. That's the only people
they can get away with biting other human beings. She
(18:32):
was biting people and they were finally like, oh, how
many people did you bite?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Well the tally is at seven people, sir Ah, Well.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
She's got big boobs, give her three more people tell
her to stop.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
They finally had to fire her.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
One guy that says one coworker had to start wearing
long sleeves to work to prevent any further incidents. This
guy was getting munched on every time he went to work.
He was like, I really want to be a lawyer.
I really want to work at this firm, but this
girl won't stop biting me, and I can't say anything
(19:10):
because the CEO really likes her.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So he just dress up.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
While he was getting he was about to fight a
raccoon in his garage. It's tough man, all right, that's
your headline of the week. Don't bite people. It's get
into this interview with actor comedian Tom Arnold.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
What's going on, Tom?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
What's happening? Buddy? Nice talking to you?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You are you ready to come to Indy and tear
down at Helium tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You know it got a bunch of I don't know
how close to Ohio is, Eddy, but a lot of
Ohio friends covid down and we're very excited.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You what supposed to be there? There's a dight of the.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Finals and then they're like, nobody, it's in Antiapoisbi will
come to Eddie show and I'm like, well, we'll move
it so we could watch the game.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So yeah, I'm very excited to get there. I have
a five am flight.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Tomorrow, I'm working, got a movie douts till late, so
it's gonna be great. I'll be one hundred percent when
I get there.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Well do it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
First of all, I'm glad that you changed the date
that you were coming because now that the Pacers lost
the finals, you know, we still are kind of sad
about that. We need you to come perkos out with
some laughter. But also, how have you been like the
hardest working man in show business to last what forty years?
How do you keep doing this?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
First of all, the Pacers, Yes, Oklahoma City what but
there's an asterisk because of the horrible injury, so there's
next year. Yes, I have worked for a long time.
I'm very old and I enjoy it. You know, I
grew up in a.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Small town in Iowa and a small.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Farmtown at Trouble, Iowa, and I've been telling people grown up,
I'm going to be a show businessman. I'm would be
a stand up I'm gonna be a TV and people
are like, Okay, that's stupid, stop it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
But you know it was.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I worked for three years on the kill floor of
a b pegging plant after high school because I need
to say, buddy, because I was like, if I get
to the University of Biowa, man, they have a stage
up there, I'll be famous.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
In two weeks. That's not how it went.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But you know it's all that, right, you know. I
think hard work is a good thing. I think I
have to work forever. I could never retire because I
have four x wives and I'm a single dad with
a twelve year old and a nine year old, you know,
and like I say, you could have three x wives
and still kind of go women, right, buddy, hey, but
if you have four x wives.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
You go holy crap.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It is me, and it is me. I haven't had
date day years. I'm pacing myself, but you know I
am gonna have to. You know, I got solid security
the day at your sixty five, man, I was down there.
They're like, why don't you wait till you're sixty six
and ten months That's when you get the most. So
I'm like, I didn't know where I'll be, but with
(22:06):
my luck, I would die at sixty six and died
buds and.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Never just twenty nine days.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And then we're like, damn, I could have had so
security here, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Well, that makes sense why you're you're working so hard,
because I mean, you know four ex wives your your
tours called the crazy ex Wife Tour?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Is it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They spell with the AX. Are you just talking about
all your ex wives? Is it a play on Twitter
somehow or is it just it's on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I didn't even think that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I I, uh, I have one of my ex wives
contacted by uh thing because uh occasionally with you know,
because kids had Uh, I just have AX.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't want to even know.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
People think rosad well, people think Roseada is you know,
they're like, oh, I know which crazy act you're talking about.
And Roseanne is even close to me at my craziest ax,
you know, because we didn't have kids together, So you know,
you just say some crappy things about each other. It's
about buddy, and then you move on. But yeah, people
(23:08):
do ask me a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Are you and Roseanne still friends?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm like, dude, if we could be friends, we'd be married.
That's the point of being married, right, Yeah, that one
friend man.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, speaking of friends, I saw you're in the The
fu Bar Show on Netflix with Schwarzenegger. That's what, like
your second or third time working with him? Are you
friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I am very good friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's shocky,
that's crazy that I would be good friends. You know,
we did a movie one hundred years ago called True
Lies and and we stayed friends. In fact, we stayed
everybody on that movie has stayed friends. And it was
a big hit. And I remember thinking, I bet all
movies are like this. So it turns out no movies.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Are like that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
But Arnold ied do we have a bunch of our
charity stuff. It's you know, about ten thousand gifts every
Christmas down to South Centro. We do Turkey dinners at Thanksgiving.
We have to have an after school program that is
that's raised because of Arnold one point six billion dollars.
(24:16):
The after school starts a great program. You know, we're
hooked up where you are too so, but it's fun
because he early on said listen, if your agent doesn't
care as much about your charity stuff as he does
about your movie stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You should fire him.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
So Arnold's always you know, he's taught me a lot
about service.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
He's funny.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's still I don't know why he's riding his freaking
bicycle now, you know he's seventy eight years old.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Dad. It makes me nervous. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
When I got up to do the first episode of
food Bar, he's like, let's go over a bike ride.
I go, I don't have my motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He's like, no bicycle here, and he had batching bicycles
and we put on batching shirts and then he's like,
put this stoga in your mouth. Just I go, I'm
gonna I'm too nervous about riding the bike. I'm not
gonna have to do that. And he rides right in
the middle of traffic downtown Toronto like a crazy person.
And people are like, oh my god, is that is
(25:14):
that's the.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Terminator And he's like, I'll be back. You know, he's
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It, dude.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
That is hilarious. Yeah, And I guess you didn't really,
you know, have much of an argument. When he was like, Hey,
where are these matching clothes with me? While we go
ride bikes. You're like, yeah, you're the terminator, I gotta listen.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, well, I was like, first of all, what size
is the shirt? I gotta make sure it fits? And
I was pretty trip then so it did. But I
you know it, I've ridden bikes by whole life, but
it's been a while. So I followed behind him, and
like I do when we ride motorcycles, I followed the
item because first of all, he has to be in
the front at all times.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Second of all, if he hits a pothole goes.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Down, I know where that pothole is and so that
that's actually happened before, so you know, I'll follow it
his way always.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That is hilarious, man, You like really have had one
of the coolest careers, Like Friends with Schwarzenegger. You've been
on sitcoms, action movies. You've got in a fight with
Michael Strahan on The Best Damn Sports Show.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh yeah, I remember watching that. You know, I was
a kid, so I was stupid. I thought it was
real at first.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh a lot of people did, a lot of people.
I'll tell you deal with the Best at Sports Show period.
That was the best job I've ever had because they
pay you to talk about sports, right, and you sit
there I would beat. My heroes would be I'd be
between Willie Bays and Earlie Banks.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I'm like, how did I get here?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
This is crazy and I love sports and the any
time there's somebody out that was in the middle of
a controversy LA's armstrong prose, They're like, please ask him
this question. I go, I've not asked that question. I've
got a I have a fad no matter what. So
but Michael Stray had started his career on that show,
and he come in and just subsiquent to and he's
(27:00):
a very good communicator. And so they called me and said,
we want to do a uh a what it was called?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Uh? What? What? What day is that? That practical joke day?
What's it like? Everything of the day?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
The first April fool Jesus. Yeah, we'll do an April
fool joke and uh, here's the deal. Uh, you and
Michael will pretend to get into a fight and then
uh but nobody else knows that on the set and
we'll scare them. And so I called Michael, I go,
here's what we're gonna do, man, We're actually gonna.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Escalate it very fast.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And then because he's pretty good actor. And so I
can see the host Chris Rose getting Paddy because we're
we're going back and forth, we're saying stuff you should
have saved, and he's started get Paddick. I'm afraid he's
gonna call it. Go okay, So I had to poke
Michael in the cheek to get him to move on me,
and he gets he wins her up and then we
(27:59):
had roped in Bull was was one of the hosts
that had Rodney Pete. They both weigh over three hundred pounds.
They thought it was a real fight. They tried to
break it up. They got on top of me, cracked
one of my ribs and flood and then and then
they they said it was Friday night. They're like cut
to black and had that director of the boossas well, Tom
(28:21):
finally killed the show, but they cut to black and
the industry had jumped up said a fools, So people
were freaking out in New York because he had heard
his fact before. So we had to go back up
buddy and say, okay, here's that.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
But it was great.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh yeah, dude, that's like one of my favorite like
sports moments watching as a kids like that and Malice
in the Palace, So Malice.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
In the Palace, Tallas Pallace. My favorite thing about that
was when who was the center for uh Indiapolis who
their guy came out of like a fat.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They don't realize how big these dudes are. Do you
see that guy's face?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like, oh oh he got down there. I was like,
oh man, yet.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Because these guys are huge, They're you know, they're huge,
and uh you know that was a that was quite
a fight.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But I wanted to ask why, you know, you've you've
had this awesome career other than that, is there like
a moment that you have that's a personal favorite or
are you just kind of excited every time you get
to do something?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I try to be excited every time, you know, because
I think there was a time in my career where
I was doing one movie after another, if another, maybe
I didn't appreciate it as much, but I try.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
You know, the people I've worked with.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And you know, I Robin Williams, who when I worked
at Horbell on the kill floor, I daydread that was
best friends with Rob Williams. He was on More Committee
at the time, and then ten years later I'm in
his house. We're getting ready to start this movie that

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Rob Williams is true at Moore And if I called
him at four in the morning he said, Soso's in trouble,
He'd be like, let's go get up. Whether he do
it or not, he really was genuinly sat.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Money money, money, money,
I still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us. This is inside Thoughts or.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Check check check. Welcome back to inside Thoughts. I hope
you're doing good. I got a cool interview for you
at the end of the podcast with actor comedian Tom
Arnold talks about being friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is
pretty cool. Not not too many people you talk to
are like, I'm friends with Arnold.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Then that's it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like how many people have you ever talked to that
were friends with the terminator?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's wow.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hope you're having a good week. I had, ah, I
had a long weekend. My mom came into town, me
her and names were chilling, and uh Ames got mad
at me because I failed one of the many hypothetical
situations that arises during the day when you're in a relationship,
(01:01):
like we're just, you know, sitting there talking, having a
good time, and she goes, I was thinking about what
I would do if you died. I love you so much.
I think I would probably just kill myself. And I
was like, oh, that's that's a lot. Like you don't
want to like try to live and have a good life,
like collect my wife insurance you know, like go have
(01:24):
fun for a weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
She was like, no, I'll just kill myself. I love
you so much. And I was like, oh okay, and
then she was like, what would you do?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Like, I don't know, I'd probably like wait a week
before I killed myself and play video games without you
complain about.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
She didn't like that answer.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just don't like, I'm not saying that like that's
what I would do. I'd be so heartbroken. I just
like I think i'd need months to grieve, you know,
like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be able to
like weave my house and probably lose my job.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
My wife's gonna fall apart.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But then after like I don't know the fourth month,
I think week one, I'm just gonna drink beer and
play video games in my boxers with no bitch in
her complaint.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
She didn't like that answer, but I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Funny, you know, because how many would you still love
me if I was a worm conversations? Can you like
answer seriously or like, you know, first six months lovingly dating?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Given those kind of answers like baby, I would love
you if you respected.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Dirt before you just like no, I'd fucking sit in
peace and quiet for a week and then I would,
you know, kill myself and we'd be sitting in hell together.
All right, starting off dark on the podcast this week,
I'm kidd We had fun though. My mom came into town.
(02:54):
You know, she was like, I gotta come check out
Indy because it's funny. You know, like if you live
in northeast Ohio, Indianapolis is one of those places you
just have like zero want to go to, you know
what I mean, Like anywhere in the Midwest if you
already live in the Midwest, if it's not like Chicago
or you're not going there for some kind of sports tournament,
(03:15):
you don't care. Like before we lived in India, was like, oh,
I bet you it's a worse version in Cleveland. Like no,
it's actually very nice, a lot of stuff to do.
So we were having a good time. She was surprised,
but it was funny because like you know, when your
parents come to visit, they you know, are coming into
your space, but they still have like their little quirks
(03:38):
of things that they like to do from their life,
and if they're staying for a certain number of days,
they like doing their routine. So my mom says, she
has like one cup of coffee every day, just one.
She can't have any more than one. So me and
Ames will drink, you know, a couple of cups coffee
a day. Ames will probably have like f teen cups
(04:00):
coffee a day and then be.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Like, Oh, don't know why I'm so anxious. It's like
cause you're drinking jet fuel for eight hours a day,
that's why.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Anyway, So my mom was like I was being, you know,
the nice sun that I am. So I made her
a cup of coffee in the morning and she was like,
I need cream, and I go, well, we're adults, so
we don't keep cream in our house. Drink the coffee
black like you're supposed to drink it. She was like,
this is my one cup of coffee did I drink
(04:31):
a day. I need cream in it. And I was like, okay,
well we don't have it. What do you want me
to do? She was like, I got cream in a
cup from Starbucks yesterday. It's out in my car, go
get it. And I was like, it's been frothing and
boiling in the sun all day and you want that cream.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You can't just drink it black. She was like, no,
I need it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I was like okay, And of course Ames is
ganging up on her or on me with her, like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Go get your mom some cream. Be a good son.
I'm like, I'll go get this cream.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So I go get the half and a half out
of the car by the way, frothed up looking white
cottage cheese. But I'm like, you know what. I even
showed it to her. I was like, you sure you
want this in your coffee, and she goes yeah. I
was like, okay, So I take the cream and I
put it in the coffee and I give it to her,
and instead of saying thank you like a normal person,
(05:26):
she goes, that's too much cream.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's like, that's my house. Free.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I didn't say that to my mom. That was then
inside thought, obviously, but I was like, are you kidding me?
Like the balls of that, someone makes you a cup
of coffee and the first thing you do is criticize
it is too much cream.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So I was like, all right, I'll pour it out.
She goes, no, it's fine, you drink.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It, and then she drank it hatefully the rest of
the time, just like the balls to come into somebody's
house and turn your nose up at their hospitality. It's insane.
The balls do that. It's it's almost as bad as
the balls. The government has to lie about Epstein. Have
you seen the recent developments? I know I keep bringing
(06:09):
this up, but it gets crazier every single week. First
there was there are these files on Epstein. We're gonna
get everybody, We're gonna release the files. People are going
to jail. There's bad people in this world running the government.
We're gonna do it. And then they were like, oh yeah,
there's nothing bad in those files. And everybody's like what like,
(06:30):
oh no, no, no, just kidding, Uh, there's no files. And
we're like what you just said there was files. They're like, yeah,
but who cares about the FI?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Do you do? You still care about that? That was
two days ago.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's like how middle schoolers talk about something like there's
always one kid in your in your grade who poops
their pants, and then they come to school the next
day like hey, what's going on. It's like, no, no, no,
we still remember you shit yourself yesterday in science? So
I go, come on, dude, you care about that? Oh yesterday?
(07:04):
Forget shout out to super Bad. But then they're like,
you know, people are still asking like, hey, where the
Epstein files? What are we doing with that? So they
took a new approach. They were like, well, actually the
Democrats made these files. By the way, put a lot
of their own people in the files to make it
(07:25):
seem like they didn't make the files, but they really
made the files. And we were like, oh, okay, well
obviously that's not true, but send everybody to jail. And
now they're throwing more stuff out to get people to
not care about the files, Like they're like, okay, well
Obama attempted a coup to try and get Hillary to
(07:48):
win the election and take it away from Trump. All right,
throw them in jail, give me the Epstein files. Well, well,
we're also releasing all the all the files in the documents,
two hundred and thirty thousand files on how we actually
assassinated Martin Luther King Junior because he was trying to
(08:09):
bring people together and uplift black people. Okay, well, everybody
who's involved in that, go to jail, bring us the files.
They're throwing everything like we are two weeks away from
them saying actually there's reptilian people living. Reptilians they're like lizards,
but they're people. Reptilians live under the Colorado Airport.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
They're there.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The Illuminati is reel Okay, get them out of here
and then give me.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The Epstein files. People.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Don't forget telling you they We're two weeks away from
them just dropping some of the craziest shit, like the
JFK stuff's.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Gonna come out.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We're gonna find out, you know, government did that, and
then people are still gonna be like, hey, where's the files.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm like, the moon's made of cheese. Will you stop
asking about the files? So we're never getting those.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But on the bright side, I got to ride and
uh well two seater dirt race car at the Ani
Motor Speedway.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hey nice change up, man, you're covering up the Epstein
files too. No, I just there's nothing else to say.
Give me the files, that's all I want.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Just give them to me.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But we're doing like this radio promotion where good job pig,
she's chasing the fly. She just grabbed it with her paw,
who's an athlete. Good girl, I'm not gonna be able
to give you a treat if you get it.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh she got it. Ames will you give her a treat? Please?
Thank you, good girl.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So we're training a pig to eat flies that come
in the house. Like well, we we'll weave the door open,
and like two or three bugs will get in the
house a day, and it's like something for her to
play with and do because she likes murdering things. And
we keep it going by every time she kills one
and eats it and cleans up the house or protects it.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Who's protecting the house, We'll give her a treat. Positive reinforcement.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Anyway, got to go to the Indie Motor Speedway and
they're hyping up like their dirt track races and they
were like, yeah, you guys want to come out and
ride in them. I was like, yeah, cool, we'll do that.
I did not realize how big the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was.
Like I drove, I typed in the directions and I
was driving down there to get to it, and I
(10:32):
see like these tunnels that you can turn in to
go into the motor Speedway and I was like, oh,
I'm probably not allowed to go in there. So I
drove up to like the administrative building and the ticket
office and I was like Hey, I'm trying to get
to the dirt track.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They go, yeah, baby, just go on in, go on in,
right in. I go through the tunnels. I go, yeah,
go on in.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So you drive in to the tunnels and there's this
security guard that like asks you what you're trying to do,
and he'll point you in the right direct. Super nice guy.
But like you pull in and it's on the way
to the museum, which is like in the middle of
the Indie Motor Speedway. And I told him, I was like, hey,
you know work at the radio station. I got to
go like right on the dirt track or whatever. And
(11:13):
he goes, all right, man, you're gonna want to do
a U turn, go through over there and drive through.
You're going to cross the main track. Look both ways,
and then just go right through there and you'll see
the dirt track. And I was like, look both ways.
Are there cars driving on this thing right now? These
things go two hundred miles an hour. I'm not trying
to get sideswiped by an X wing Fighter or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Those F one cars are going too fast.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So I'm driving through and I I wish because you know,
I didn't have any gas in my car. I was
waiting to go get gas, and if I had had
a full tank of gas, I would have taken a
wrong turn onto the track and just done one wap
like the it was itching inside of me. It'd just
be like, just just make a left right here, one
(12:00):
lap around the track in the Challenger, and then when
someone goes.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Hey, what are you doing? Like, oh, sorry, I forgot
the guy told me go this way. I guess I'll
just go all the way.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Around, but didn't do that anyway, go up to the
dirt track, and everybody that works at the Indie Motor
Speedway is super nice.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I forgot to say how big it was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Like the guy was telling me, you can fit the
whole Vatican City inside the Indy Motor Speedway.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You can fit like a couple of football stadiums Yankee
Stadium all to the stadiums in the arenas, you can
fit them inside this place. And they built it in
like nineteen oh nine. Crazy that we had the ability
to make that kind of architecture back then. Anyway, so
we hop in this, uh, you gotta put the suit onto,
like hopping this whole two seater.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Put the suit on the helmet.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's like if you've ever gone to one of those
expensive go kart racing places, it's the exact same thing,
except you're.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Just with a guy who's driving you around.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And I was sitting in the back and they give
you like a fake steering wheel, like you know what
they do for kids, like when kids are finally like
aware enough when they're sitting in their car seat and
they're like, I.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Want to drive.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
How come I can't drive?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the parents are like, give me the Fisher Price
fake steering wheel to shut this kid up so I
can go to the grocery store without them asking me
a million questions. So that's what I'm sitting in the back.
I go, hey, is this steering wheel doing anything? They
go no, but it's fun. I was like, oh okay,
they're sending me back here like I'm a child, and
I didn't think it was gonna be that scary.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Holy shit, it was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
This guy, he was, you know, the driver, super nice guy,
but he was one of those guys you know who
had three first names like Kurt, Michael, Douglas, Thomas or
something like that, and he was all about going as
fast as possible as close to the wall.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
As you could go.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And if you're going like towards a wall at seventy
miles an hour, and then you know, he just makes
it cut and starts drifting, you feel like you're gonna
flip over and go right into the wall.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I was pissing myself in this thing. But you get
out and you got like a little adrenaline. You're like, WHOA.
So that was that was fun. Highly recommend it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And also if you're around Indy, did that just lose everything?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Is this not working right? Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know what happened, but computer just took a shit.
It's back though, We're good. What else have I done?
I watched Uh. I finally watched Sinners, the Michael B.
Jordan Ryan Coogler movie. Super good movie, like very cool,
didn't you know? It wasn't one of those ones where
it was predictable, like you had enough background of what
(14:39):
was going on to where you're like, oh, okay, this
is this is cool. I know what's going on, but
I don't know where it's going. It was a fun movie,
except I was cracking up because like when the movie
first came out, I saw like a lot of people
tweet and saying, if you're a white person watching this movie,
you're gonna feel a bunch of white guilt after you
watch this movie. And I was like, okay, like I don't,
(15:02):
I don't get why I watched it. And it's like,
are the bad guys white?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Should they be bad guys in the context at their back? Absolutely,
I didn't feel any kind of white guy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Was like, yeah, kill shoot them again.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't know if that makes me a bad white
person or like, I don't did the people that had
white guilt like after watching that movie, do they feel
a certain type of way. Like I'm not gonna give
anything away, but like, you know, some clan members got killed.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Who's sitting in the movie theater going, ah, they killed
the Klan, not the Grand Wizard. You want that guy
to die? Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I didn't understand the you're gonna feel white guilt after
watching this movie. I thought it was a good movie,
and I thought the appropriate people that needed to die
in that movie died. I thought it was very well done.
All Right, Uh, let's get your headline of the week
and then uh, we'll get to the interview with Tom Arnold.
This one is crazy. Like every day I get on
(16:05):
the Internet and I read something that I never thought
I would read in my entire life. Summer associate fired
from New York City law firm after biting as many
as ten colleagues.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Biting.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's crazy, Like we all know, like we all knew
some some kid in elementary school who was a bier,
you know what I mean, Like wasn't socialized with other people,
or wasn't like getting enough attention, so they'd start biting.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
They'd be like, oh, stop it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But the teacher just gave him a glo stick and
he nod on that until he was, you know, chilled
out or his mouth got glued shut.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But everybody grows out of that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Adults don't bite unless you're like on bath salts or
you're a zombie or something. But according according to this article,
the behavior started early in the program at the law
firm and continued for weeks before she was finally fired.
It was a girl. No, but see this is ames
(17:10):
just goes girl. She was surprised that a girl was biting.
I knew it was a girl as soon as I
read the headline, because she got away with biting ten people.
If a guy bites one person, hey you're going to jail. Yeah,
it's always a little boys that bite. But that's why
(17:31):
I'm saying, like this is this is where it gets crazy.
Is this is a quote. She was biting people all
summer and nobody was reporting it for some reason. Where's
this one quote? Like? Because I was wondering, like at first,
like how good is this girl at her job that
(17:51):
they didn't fire her immediately for biting people? And then
nothing like she was an intern, So I was like, well,
she could have been that good, And then I read
this quote that said the biting was not described as aggressive,
but rather framed as an offbeat or faux quirky behavior
(18:12):
people said from the firm. That means this girl was
smoking hot. That's the only way she got away with this.
There are very few people that can get away with
crimes like biting little children, sometimes dogs if they're owned
by white people and hot girls. That's the only people
they can get away with biting other human beings. She
(18:32):
was biting people and they were finally like, oh, how
many people did you bite?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Well the tally is at seven people, sir Ah, Well.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
She's got big boobs, give her three more people tell
her to stop.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
They finally had to fire her.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
One guy that says one coworker had to start wearing
long sleeves to work to prevent any further incidents. This
guy was getting munched on every time he went to work.
He was like, I really want to be a lawyer.
I really want to work at this firm, but this
girl won't stop biting me, and I can't say anything
(19:10):
because the CEO really likes her.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So he just dress up.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
While he was getting he was about to fight a
raccoon in his garage. It's tough man, all right, that's
your headline of the week. Don't bite people. It's get
into this interview with actor comedian Tom Arnold.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
What's going on, Tom?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
What's happening? Buddy? Nice talking to you?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You are you ready to come to Indy and tear
down at Helium tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You know it got a bunch of I don't know
how close to Ohio is, Eddy, but a lot of
Ohio friends covid down and we're very excited.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You what supposed to be there? There's a dight of the.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Finals and then they're like, nobody, it's in Antiapoisbi will
come to Eddie show and I'm like, well, we'll move
it so we could watch the game.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So yeah, I'm very excited to get there. I have
a five am flight.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Tomorrow, I'm working, got a movie douts till late, so
it's gonna be great. I'll be one hundred percent when
I get there.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Well do it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
First of all, I'm glad that you changed the date
that you were coming because now that the Pacers lost
the finals, you know, we still are kind of sad
about that. We need you to come perkos out with
some laughter. But also, how have you been like the
hardest working man in show business to last what forty years?
How do you keep doing this?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
First of all, the Pacers, Yes, Oklahoma City what but
there's an asterisk because of the horrible injury, so there's
next year. Yes, I have worked for a long time.
I'm very old and I enjoy it. You know, I
grew up in a.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Small town in Iowa and a small.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Farmtown at Trouble, Iowa, and I've been telling people grown up,
I'm going to be a show businessman. I'm would be
a stand up I'm gonna be a TV and people
are like, Okay, that's stupid, stop it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
But you know it was.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I worked for three years on the kill floor of
a b pegging plant after high school because I need
to say, buddy, because I was like, if I get
to the University of Biowa, man, they have a stage
up there, I'll be famous.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
In two weeks. That's not how it went.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But you know it's all that, right, you know. I
think hard work is a good thing. I think I
have to work forever. I could never retire because I
have four x wives and I'm a single dad with
a twelve year old and a nine year old, you know,
and like I say, you could have three x wives
and still kind of go women, right, buddy, hey, but
if you have four x wives.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
You go holy crap.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It is me, and it is me. I haven't had
date day years. I'm pacing myself, but you know I
am gonna have to. You know, I got solid security
the day at your sixty five, man, I was down there.
They're like, why don't you wait till you're sixty six
and ten months That's when you get the most. So
I'm like, I didn't know where I'll be, but with
(22:06):
my luck, I would die at sixty six and died
buds and.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Never just twenty nine days.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And then we're like, damn, I could have had so
security here, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Well, that makes sense why you're you're working so hard,
because I mean, you know four ex wives your your
tours called the crazy ex Wife Tour?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Is it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They spell with the AX. Are you just talking about
all your ex wives? Is it a play on Twitter
somehow or is it just it's on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I didn't even think that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I I, uh, I have one of my ex wives
contacted by uh thing because uh occasionally with you know,
because kids had Uh, I just have AX.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't want to even know.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
People think rosad well, people think Roseada is you know,
they're like, oh, I know which crazy act you're talking about.
And Roseanne is even close to me at my craziest ax,
you know, because we didn't have kids together, So you know,
you just say some crappy things about each other. It's
about buddy, and then you move on. But yeah, people
(23:08):
do ask me a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Are you and Roseanne still friends?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm like, dude, if we could be friends, we'd be married.
That's the point of being married, right, Yeah, that one
friend man.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, speaking of friends, I saw you're in the The
fu Bar Show on Netflix with Schwarzenegger. That's what, like
your second or third time working with him? Are you
friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I am very good friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's shocky,
that's crazy that I would be good friends. You know,
we did a movie one hundred years ago called True
Lies and and we stayed friends. In fact, we stayed
everybody on that movie has stayed friends. And it was
a big hit. And I remember thinking, I bet all
movies are like this. So it turns out no movies.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Are like that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
But Arnold ied do we have a bunch of our
charity stuff. It's you know, about ten thousand gifts every
Christmas down to South Centro. We do Turkey dinners at Thanksgiving.
We have to have an after school program that is
that's raised because of Arnold one point six billion dollars.
(24:16):
The after school starts a great program. You know, we're
hooked up where you are too so, but it's fun
because he early on said listen, if your agent doesn't
care as much about your charity stuff as he does
about your movie stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You should fire him.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
So Arnold's always you know, he's taught me a lot
about service.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
He's funny.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's still I don't know why he's riding his freaking
bicycle now, you know he's seventy eight years old.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Dad. It makes me nervous. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
When I got up to do the first episode of
food Bar, he's like, let's go over a bike ride.
I go, I don't have my motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He's like, no bicycle here, and he had batching bicycles
and we put on batching shirts and then he's like,
put this stoga in your mouth. Just I go, I'm
gonna I'm too nervous about riding the bike. I'm not
gonna have to do that. And he rides right in
the middle of traffic downtown Toronto like a crazy person.
And people are like, oh my god, is that is
(25:14):
that's the.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Terminator And he's like, I'll be back. You know, he's
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It, dude.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
That is hilarious. Yeah, And I guess you didn't really,
you know, have much of an argument. When he was like, Hey,
where are these matching clothes with me? While we go
ride bikes. You're like, yeah, you're the terminator, I gotta listen.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, well, I was like, first of all, what size
is the shirt? I gotta make sure it fits? And
I was pretty trip then so it did. But I
you know it, I've ridden bikes by whole life, but
it's been a while. So I followed behind him, and
like I do when we ride motorcycles, I followed the
item because first of all, he has to be in
the front at all times.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Second of all, if he hits a pothole goes.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Down, I know where that pothole is and so that
that's actually happened before, so you know, I'll follow it
his way always.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That is hilarious, man, You like really have had one
of the coolest careers, Like Friends with Schwarzenegger. You've been
on sitcoms, action movies. You've got in a fight with
Michael Strahan on The Best Damn Sports Show.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh yeah, I remember watching that. You know, I was
a kid, so I was stupid. I thought it was
real at first.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh a lot of people did, a lot of people.
I'll tell you deal with the Best at Sports Show period.
That was the best job I've ever had because they
pay you to talk about sports, right, and you sit
there I would beat. My heroes would be I'd be
between Willie Bays and Earlie Banks.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I'm like, how did I get here?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
This is crazy and I love sports and the any
time there's somebody out that was in the middle of
a controversy LA's armstrong prose, They're like, please ask him
this question. I go, I've not asked that question. I've
got a I have a fad no matter what. So
but Michael Stray had started his career on that show,
and he come in and just subsiquent to and he's
(27:00):
a very good communicator. And so they called me and said,
we want to do a uh a what it was called?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Uh? What? What? What day is that? That practical joke day?
What's it like? Everything of the day?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
The first April fool Jesus. Yeah, we'll do an April
fool joke and uh, here's the deal. Uh, you and
Michael will pretend to get into a fight and then
uh but nobody else knows that on the set and
we'll scare them. And so I called Michael, I go,
here's what we're gonna do, man, We're actually gonna.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Escalate it very fast.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And then because he's pretty good actor. And so I
can see the host Chris Rose getting Paddy because we're
we're going back and forth, we're saying stuff you should
have saved, and he's started get Paddick. I'm afraid he's
gonna call it. Go okay, So I had to poke
Michael in the cheek to get him to move on me,
and he gets he wins her up and then we
(27:59):
had roped in Bull was was one of the hosts
that had Rodney Pete. They both weigh over three hundred pounds.
They thought it was a real fight. They tried to
break it up. They got on top of me, cracked
one of my ribs and flood and then and then
they they said it was Friday night. They're like cut
to black and had that director of the boossas well, Tom
(28:21):
finally killed the show, but they cut to black and
the industry had jumped up said a fools, So people
were freaking out in New York because he had heard
his fact before. So we had to go back up
buddy and say, okay, here's that.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
But it was great.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh yeah, dude, that's like one of my favorite like
sports moments watching as a kids like that and Malice
in the Palace, So Malice.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
In the Palace, Tallas Pallace. My favorite thing about that
was when who was the center for uh Indiapolis who
their guy came out of like a fat.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They don't realize how big these dudes are. Do you
see that guy's face?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like, oh oh he got down there. I was like,
oh man, yet.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Because these guys are huge, They're you know, they're huge,
and uh you know that was a that was quite
a fight.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But I wanted to ask why, you know, you've you've
had this awesome career other than that, is there like
a moment that you have that's a personal favorite or
are you just kind of excited every time you get
to do something?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I try to be excited every time, you know, because
I think there was a time in my career where
I was doing one movie after another, if another, maybe
I didn't appreciate it as much, but I try.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
You know, the people I've worked with.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
