This is the story of how the greatest episode of Barbell Shrugged ever ALMOST happened. 

No, seriously, we were 5-minutes and 10-feet from bringing you an exclusive interview with the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenneger...Like, for real. That almost happened, and as surreal as the event was, the lessons we took from the experience are priceless. That's what this story is about.

I hope you dig the show.

P.S. I have a brand new plan to get Arnold on Barbell Shrugged this year. This one's even better than before, because it might just buy us an extended interview on his home turf. Do you hear that, Governor, Sir? Make it easy on yourself and just come on the show already.

We don't ever give up, so it's only a matter of time. Let's get this out of the way now. It will be fun, I promise you. 

If it helps at all, I can bring plenty of beer and legit pretzels. I know how important it is to serve a proper pretzel. 

Mach's gut,
