Hollywood veteran and comedy icon Tom Arnold sits down with The Mox on this heartfelt and hilarious episode of The Barn. With his signature honesty and humor, Tom opens up about his upcoming comedy tour, including stops in Springfield, Kansas City, and St. Louis, while reflecting on the journey that got him here.Â
From writing for Roseanne to starring alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies, Tom shares stories from his long and colorful career in television and film. But it’s not all about Hollywood — Tom gets candid about life as a single father, raising his two kids (ages 12 and 9), and learning to navigate parenting with vulnerability, humor, and grace.Â
He dives into a wide range of personal and powerful topics, including his ongoing health battles like spinal stenosis and his recovery from a severe case of Covid-19. Tom shares the joys and everyday mishaps of fatherhood, from accidentally using adult shampoo on his daughter to sending her to school in the wrong shoes. He reflects on the lessons he's learned from his own troubled upbringing and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches parenting. Tom also opens up about the dramatic transformation of his sister’s life after years of hardship, and speaks candidly about his own journey through addiction and how he’s used comedy as a form of therapy and healing. Throughout it all, he discusses the delicate balance of being a present and engaged dad while staying committed to life on the road as a working comedian.Â
 Tom’s blend of raw honesty, redemption, and razor-sharp wit makes this episode one of the most memorable to date. Whether you're a fan of his film work, his stand-up, or just looking for a real conversation about life, this one hits home.Â
