I could listen to Arnold talk all day. What a great life he's had. What a great life he's made.

[@amcmillion3]

The greatest guest Rich has ever had on. Arnold is an absolute legend.

[@americanboy79]

“Forget your freedoms” -Arnold

[@Velodan1]

Arnold is so correct on the association of happiness with goal oriented activities. He basically outlined the professional philosophy of Occupational Therapy, which asserts people find purpose and fulfillment through goal oriented projects. Kudos big guy!

[@joeymcbrayer]

Hands down, the greatest interview Rich has had on this show! I didn’t want that to end and I’m praying for the sequel!

[@randcanape683]

I could listen to this non stop. It's a shame it was so short. I grew up with Arnold and he was/is an ICON. his stories are delivered wonderfully. Great interview, to short. Thank you.

[@Longevitypersonalfitnessnj]

Arnold helped changed my life at 15…45 years ago. Thank you Rich for this segment. Happy Holidays!!!

[@Jcarroz]

I have the book, I read the book, I love the book and read it to my kids. Thank you Arnold for all you continue to do.

[@hectorlopez1069]

The terminator is still one of the most scariest films to watch on this day.

[@danimation88]

That Andre story is straight out of his character in Princess Bride.

[@mikek7050]

I know it's probably impossible, but how cool would it be if Arnold Schwarzenegger was on "It's Always Sunny" and played Franks long lost Twin Brother

[@cammacisaac9966]

OMG I don't know if we could be that lucky

[@johnnygrind77]

"Open your mind and shut your mouth." More and more people need to live by this rule.

[@dennismarin2351]

Ah really? What about screwing your freedoms?

[@mrsjackbauer1]

He was talking about the crybabies who didn’t want to wear masks during COVID, which you sound like @dennismarin2351

[@cratty16]

Surprised nobody said Total Recall. Such a classic

[@joePARKS]

That Andre the Giant story was fantastic

[@ORagnar]

The biggest star he's ever had in studio, no doubt. o

[@dannyschoe4874]

OJ didn't look like a killer 😂😂😂😂

[@no2_justin]

I laughed out loud on that one. Might be one of the most subtle but funniest OJ jokes I’ve heard. And I know he said it in that way intentionally. Arnold has a great sense of humor. He was on Conan recently and their chemistry was great too.

[@caffers69]

How Ironic was that !

[@hectorlopez1069]

With OJ, it would suck With Arnold, it's a masterpiece

[@KrayzieMofoGuy]

Amazing interview, Arnold is hilarious 😂

[@gsadhra]

His stone-faced reaction to the production value question was hilarious

[@scottfisher352]

I saw “Pumping Iron” in the late 70s as a college student and was immediately hooked on bodybuilding and Arnold’s charisma and drive. What an incredible inspiration for millions of people. Thank you for the memories Arnold!

[@hectorlopez1069]

The stories of Lou ferrigno, Mike Katz, and franco columbu.

[@jimmyday9634]

One of the best interviews you guys have done.. I just wish you could have talked some football with Arnold 💪..So me your ⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@TheRafcave]

I enjoyed this Interview so so much! 💯🤣💯💪🏾😀👍🏾

[@biblecover2cover]

Arnold's Schwarzenegger impression was spot on for this interview.

[@craig6163]

Last action hero never gets a mention... love that film

[@hectorlopez1069]

with Austin obrien as his partner, funny film.

[@thomasnj75]

Arnie, is such a great storyteller and his life is full of so much interesting incidents

[@edwardleonetti2492]

Awesome interview man I was crying 😭 all the stories lol Arnold just killed it rolling on the floor dying here

[@5100yes]

The way Arnold says the F word is so hilarious Reminds me of the Commando movie fight scene with Bill Duke. 😂🤣

[@hectorlopez1069]

He's funny whenever he saids the F word.

[@caffers69]

One of the best interviews I've ever heard I love Arnold's stories,the had me in stitches especially as I'm feeling low at the moment.what a Legend !

[@arthurp68]

He should play Richard Dawsons character in a Running Man remake....

[@vectorsigma5773]

Or the Jesse Ventura character, Captain Freedom.

[@poindextertunes]

He should play Mick Fleetwood’s part. The old guy that knew how to get the explosive collars off

[@texdoc89]

Out of all the movies of Arnold's that I've seen over the years, the one I always comeback to that I absolutely have to watch.... The Last Action Hero, if it were to come on TV I'd stop what I was doing just to watch it, out of all his movies that would have to be my favorite. From the corniness and all the cameos in the movie it will just always be my favorite followed by True Lies. I would say Terminator 2 but that I feel like is too easy of a movie to pick and while it's my favorite Terminator movie out of all of them I just can't say no to those 2 movies ever.

[@TheProphetJoshua]

Should've called his book "F*CK YOUR FREEDOM" as that is his legacy now.

[@johngarynavida]

I just googled out of curiosity and found out that Sly is actually a year older than Arnold. Both of them always remind me of my Dad because he used to take us to the movies to watch them when I was growing up. Miss you Pops. ❤

[@MPB059]

The best rich risen interview ever! Arnold is the goat!

[@Hmmmmmm8618]

The giggles after the OJ comment 🤣 😂

Even Arnold has an Andre impression lol

[@phoenixkepo2743]

Arnold is a legend!

[@mattkrause1573]

Unpopular opinion but True Lies was my favorite. Changed my life as a fifth grader

[@hectorlopez1069]

Arnold teaming up with Tom Arnold to stop terrorists from the middle east.

[@MKF30]

Wow, who would have thought Danny Devito would outsmart Batman and The Terminator. 😅

[@Intabih]

Fun Fact: When my unit flew him at Irwin, we were under orders not to say, "Get to the choppah!"

[@Intabih]

I don't think he knows who Rich is.

[@afusmackdown]

Just bought his audio book!

[@MaineOffGrid.]

I love the fact that Arnold finished up with a question of his own for Rich and that was a great question, and then followed up with a well deserved compliment. Class act.

[@joseramos4320]

Your boots your chair 😂😂😂

[@apm9151]

True lies is my favorite Arnold movie! Crazy thing is you can’t get a good HD quality version of it??!! A James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger movie!

[@jayintn71]

That’s about to change. They’re releasing a 4K UHD next year.

Great interview.

[@Bringos76]

HIs book was excellent! Favorite chapters are the last two.

[@kessel12]

Dang. Rich didn’t bite at all when Arnold said the studio didn’t believe OJ looked like a killing machine. A lot of the True or False stuff was in the Netflix documentary.

[@mikesullivan2716]

This was fun to watch!!!!!

[@TheStrategos392]

That Danny Devito bid was too funny.😂

As a Democrat, goddammit do I wish I could vote for him for President. He'd have my vote in a heartbeat. Such an amazing human being.

Is a very persistant hard working person

Crazy how skynet is aging up the new T-800 models

[@jeffreybanaszak332]

I would love to see him run for president....genuine and respectful of society. Quite the opposite of many of our bizarre politicians.

[@jpmel1]

not born in the USA, he can't ever be President, but he'd make a good one for sure.

[@NickCager]

"F*ck your freedoms!"

[@christhompson6010]

he should stay away from politics. this country is to divers to satisfy everyone at the same time. as soon as you take a political position you will be hated by one group and loved by the other.

[@marieazrak1951]

Me personally, I don’t wanna be useful anymore. I’ve done my share of being useful.

[@augustoparaiso7349]

Real men live by a code. A set of rules based on core beliefs that guide every decision we make. I expect Arnold's book to be a master class in this subject. He set the bar for men's physique and now he's doing the same thing with men's minds. He's come around full circle with the "mind/body" connection. First giving us strength, then wisdom, truly amazing.

[@bryanjturner21]

Damn man, even at this age Arnold would put me in then hospital!

Arnold thought he was on a podcast.. lol Rich lightly corrects him but Arnold didn’t pick up on it as he finishes with “you’re doing a good job at it”… Good interview regardless. Loved the André story!

Literally one of the best humans on the planet. That’s it and that’s all

Arnold is the epitome of what an immigrant should be. Not just because he’s rich and famous, but because he did it correctly.

I love Arnold, BUT- he needs to stop talking about how he was a great governor of California. I grew up in CA. He vetoed gay marriage after the citizens overwhelming voted for it. Shitty governor, but great in predator 😂
