'Comfort is the evil of everything' What a great quote!
Comfort is great when you earn it through work.
Comfort leads to idleness. Idleness leads to vices.
@@MortonGoldthwait Beware of making comfort the goal of your work and life. We are made for so much more than that. There will always be people in need. Helping our brethren is one of our principal tasks in this life. And to much comfort leads to spiritual laziness which is the begining of evil. Peace! my brother.
Absolutely.
Well if it it is than it is an evil I will have to tolerate...
I love how Echo and Jocko can just listen, without interrupting the flow of Arnold's stories. This is how you conduct an interview!
Word. Appreciate that way of interviewing. Just a lil bummed that it is black/white...
Well this is Arnold Swartsenager. Tippy top. Not best o the best. Tippy top friend. Joko was nut in the sack. Your mind fails. Tippy top.
Bot
yea respect to that. straight up discipline and respect
what do you know?
I bet Echo was on cloud 9 when the great Arnold told him his “guns” are pretty big 😂😂😂
His poor wife... She's going to hear that story fifteen times this week and hundreds for the rest of her natural life. And his kids? Don't take Dad anywhere that he can stand by the grill or you'll introduce him and hear "..so Arnie, we're '*like this*', so that's what I call him, he says... Guns. ". And the kids are mortified mostly because half the people standing there have heard it. And how each year Echo and Arnie are '*like this*' just a bit more. 😆
Wonder if Arnold knows Echos inner child will literally never let that moment go
@@user-lh8xz6zs4s would _you_ ever let that moment go? :)
Echo looking jaaaaaaaaccccckkkeeeed!!!!
Imagine being a scientist and you get to meet Einstein and he says, "yeah what you did was pretty smart." lol I'd be gushing 'thanks' like a little school girl.
So i am at home, kind of broke so i dont have all these streaming services to find something good to watch so i have to resort to using the free platforms. And then i run into this. Befor i start watching i just want to say, thank you Jocko Podcast!
Yupp
I know right?! Better than whatever platforms are out there brother!
Check out Everyday Warrior Podcast too with Mike Sarraille.
Born broke and you'll die broke
@@firefly9838 truth.
Crazy to think that Arnie was playing Jocko in the movies, and Jocko was playing Arnie in real life. Two Ledgends having a great conversation
Sure Skooter
I love how Arnold was just casually talking about curling 275....I feel so weak right now.
Best Arnold interview I’ve ever seen, he’s so relaxed and natural here I love it, he’s really honest and chilled here the real Arnold ♥️♥️♥️
The one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This man was my hero growing up and a huge inspiration for me. Great to hear stories of his early life. His advice on working and toughing out is spot on, like the saying goes: Tough times make tough people. As a kid who was bullied all though school, my life changed when I discovered sports. My athletics coach, who I will be forever grateful for, provided me with guidance and pushing me when I felt like giving up. He changed my habits, my diet and my whole outlook on life. He is gone now (passed away in 2005) but i learnt his lessons well and try to pass them on to my children.
Lol.. npc bot 🤣👌
Arnold and Jocko...I never thought and yet have always looked forward to just this...What a treat. Thank you, Jocko and Echo, for bringing this epic man to your studio for all of us to watch and listen...Huge respect and love to you all!

Think they are at Arnold’s place. Least the trophies make me believe that
After listening to this podcast I had the best leg day of my life. Hit multiple PR's! Super motivating :D
"Screw your freedom" everyone with half a brain lost respect for this jackass during COVID.
Same here bro I got the tightest ass in my gym now.

him to aim for winning the Mr. Universe contest, leading to Arnold's victory at 20 years old. 27:42 💼 Arnold's determination to win the Mr. Universe contest at a young age led to a successful career in bodybuilding, including posing exhibitions and international recognition. 28:34 🌍 Arnold and Reg Park worked together to establish the Mr. Olympia contest, negotiating with the South African government to allow mixed-race judging, audience, competitors, and sponsors. 37:02 🚫 Arnold addresses the misconception of becoming "muscle-bound" from weightlifting, highlighting how athletes have proven the benefits of strength training for performance enhancement. 41:11 🏋♂ Arnold facilitated the donation of 40 tons of weightlifting equipment to troops in Iraq, recognizing the importance of strength training for military personnel's physical and mental well-being. 44:38 🌍 Arnold reflects on the global proliferation of weightlifting facilities, noting how gyms have become ubiquitous in fire stations, police stations, military bases, hotels, and sports teams worldwide. 46:14 💪 Arnold Schwarzenegger discusses the potential of bodybuilding to attract large audiences, akin to other sports like basketball or football, emphasizing the importance of promoting its appeal to the general public. 50:36 🎯 Arnold reflects on his military experience, highlighting how enduring hardship and discomfort during training prepared him for life's challenges, instilling resilience and a can-do attitude. 53:18 💡 The conversation shifts to the importance of physical fitness in the military,

life, drawing parallels between his bodybuilding journey and his subsequent success in the movie industry, stressing the transformative power of visualization and focused effort. 58:08 📚 Arnold

and setting goals based on your internal drive rather than comparing yourself to others is essential for fulfillment and success. 01:10:28 💼 Without a clear vision and goal, hard work and other

Schwarzenegger discusses dietary adjustments advised by Frank Zane and Franco Columbu, highlighting the impact of cutting out milk products and desserts to achieve better definition in bodybuilding.

dietary indulgences to some extent. 01:44:32 🏋♂ Schwarzenegger emphasizes the importance of tailoring workout routines to individual body types and weaknesses, highlighting the need for experimentation and customization in training programs. 01:47:04 🤔 Reflecting on his experience at Vince's gym, Schwarzenegger illustrates the importance of trying new exercises and experimenting with

While eating greens might not always be exciting, they are crucial for a balanced diet and can be made more palatable with the right preparation.
Very cool, thanks
Ty
So two hours of "work harder" which is admirable, especially from Arnold, but tiring on these grindset podcasts. Wish they could have gotten into more subjects.
the real mvp
Christ is risen
Never saw Jocko showing more respect and being in awe than in any other episode. Very few people seem to have that effect on Jocko.
Yeah said he likes this commi
@@nj-bz8pv Go ahead finish by throwing a tantrum. Lol.
@@boom-botz444 Lol. I'm sure you are perfect and have never done or said anything in your life that you thought twice about huh? Perfect person. No sins
@@Rufio1975not worth the effort. The whiners and complainers are incapable of understanding context. Arnold was completely right, you don’t have the right to willingly spread a contagious disease. The antivaxers and Alex Jones wannabes didn’t like that very much.
@@boom-botz444 Hey , I don't like the woke mob any more than you but one thing I have noticed is today there are mobs on both sides. I watch and listen. But like I told someone else,it's his show. Jocko is an adult and he's mature enough to talk to different people even if he or anyone else doesn't agree with them. I've noticed that both sides point fingers at each other and can't discuss anything without yelling or raising pitchforks. Nobody today can disagree with anyone on anything stupid thing without people wanting to automatically crucify them. It's ridiculous.
"Find the place where you want to go, no matter how difficult it is."
"Screw your freedoms."
I fucking love how Jocko was getting all giddy when Arnold was speaking about weightlifting. It’s because Arnold, the GOAT, was speaking his language. Cool to see Jocko as a fan boy, because we are ALL Arnold fan boys!
Once upon a time maybe
I am have not seen any of Arnold's films. However, this podcast was like sitting next to the fireplace, listening to one's grandfather giving life lessons to the grandchildren. Wonderful podcast, Jocko. It is very different from the usual but very enjoyable. Thank you.
At least watch Terminator 2. Legendary movie.
@@deanvere4839 second it! Best movie that made me cry
A very dangerous grandfather who is willing to take away your freedoms. Don't be fooled by this son of a Nazi.
WTF? Are you real? I don’t believe that
Most likely a very young human. @@Jeffro5564
“Screw your freedom.” - Arnold
He lost a lot of respect when he said that sh*t.
Yep and look his dad up. Gutav. Sturmbelung trooper.
*Gustav. Sorry
Yup, never forgot about that.
He was right, freedom has limits, democracy has rules and responsibilities. Don't be babies, grow up.
That was a hell of a podcast. 🔥
thank you for everything Jocko
As always great interview. So many great lessons to learn about life and success. Great choice jocko and echo. A lot of people changed their life for better because of this guy. He said what he said get over it. Too many toddlers here who just can’t stop complaining.
dude this was such an awesome episode, be the best grandpa you could ask for to hangout and listen to.
"Screw your freedom" Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Screw your freedoms," -Anti American, Arnold 🤡🤡🤡
We came to America from behind the iron curtain in ‘82. Conan was the first movie I went to see with my dad. Didn’t understand a word. Didn’t have to. Arnold was an inspiration ever since. Thank you Arnold. You are THE MAN.
Thanks for sharing! Westernkind is amazing and have a rich history of storytelling!
Pathetic person to idolize
Screw you’re freedom
@@code6charles966 "screw you are freedom"
Arnold doesn't come to you, you go to Arnold. Forever boss mode.
Its amazing how this man went through so much up hill battles and manage to persevere all that and win. Inspiring
Then how he can look at the country that allowed him to do all of it and say, Fuck Your Freedom, speak loads about the man.
Bot
That's not even a bother comment though. I mean... it's true. He did
Jocko and Echo did an amazing job and really impressed Arnold. I’m really happy to see such respect and honor these men exemplified. Beautifully done!
Love the experimental format - well done Gentlemen!
Wow, Arnie has now hit the big time, being on Jockos' podcast. I see great things for you, kid.
12am in shop working on taxes 1 month late 2023 EOY, booked until June 2024 with customers and running a solo business in Japan... this hits the spot!!! Always motivated however never can be motivated enough!!
The best Arnold interview I've seen, kudos to Jocko and Echo for letting the legend speak without interruption.
I could sit by a campfire and listen to Arnold tell his stories all night.
You should have him tell you about The Reichstag Fire…He’s a real HOOT! 🦉
100%
"Screw your freedom" I will never respect him again. Go back to Europe Arnold, you aren't a TRUE American. Screw your freedom, how about screw you Arnold
Ask him about freedom
@@blackout2430 screw your freedom.
Awesome episode Jocko. Arnold has been a huge inspiration for me since I was a teenager
Cheers guys really enjoyed the listen and interview. Keep um coming!
Thanks for giving me someone to look up to Joko... Anyone under your leadership is destined for greatness...
The first Conan, was magic...a amazing classic....he was the human embodiment of a hero
He was the embodiment of a hero, and James Earl Jones was the embodiment of a villain. Not many actors could be next to Arnold on screen and convey power and menace. God, Thulsa Doom might be my favorite movie villain ever. "WHO AMONG YOU HAS NOT EMBRACED EMPTINESS??"
It’s a complete movie/story…as saris as Star Wars…. Depth of characters and well, adventure 👍
As satisfying….that should say 🙄🙄🙄
One of the best Jocko podcasts of all-time! Arnold is the personification of the American Dream - going from poor immigrant to leader in 3 industries - body-building, film and politics. What an inspiration!
Too bad he craps on it every chance he gets.
@@jacobmasters438 Thank you for your comment - I'll take it into consideration. And God bless. John 14:27
So great to listen to this and I love how you let him speak/share his life experiences. Always love your podcast, thank you for another brilliant one.
This is the best story telling I've heard from Arnold, Jocko has created a masterpiece with this interview......by listening
Echo wielding that Conan sword was awesome
"Screw Your Freedom." - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Such a cool guy.
Arnold will always be amongst the greatest inspirations and always a delight to listen to. Listening to Echo geeking out a little on the Predator lore, was a cherry on top here ;)
This is so valuable
Crazy how Arnie went from hero to “screw your freedoms!”
That's why it's said to never meet your heroes.
Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger also was in the Austrian military. He was a tank operator in a armor division do not know how many tours he actually served, but he recently bought the tank that he operated while he was in the military. I read an article about it.
Most inspirational Podcast i´ve heard in a while, much love
Listening! Simply respecting and learning from an elder. Great to see this side of Jocko. The awareness of knowing to just say less and sit back is amazing. Appreciate you guys.
At last. Two of my biggest heroes. Thank you for your words wisdom over many years that have driven me to keep improving. Be my best. Help others do the same. Be humble. Own it. Own life. Thank you so much!
absolutely enjoy every single one of your podcasts. every. single. one. always. thank you, Jocko & Echo.
a meeting of legends! jocko never misses
Best interview EVER!!! Thank you Jocko and Arnold!!
I liked the No tolls for motorcycles during the Govinator's reign. Thanks Arnie
He literally paid state employees in iou’s and left office with California in debt. 🤣🤣🤣🤡👟
"SCREW YOUR FREEDOM" ahhh memories
Love Love Love! Thank you Jocko& Echo for hosting this amazing Icon! Star struck by just viewing on KZhead! I watch all of your content, however; this one is very entertaining as well as informative!
I loved this, thank you. ❤
Instant classic. Felt like I was sitting there with you boys chilling with Arnold
I’m reading his book right now!! Really good book. Be useful!
What a great interview! I was looking for a book for my vacation with my family- I just bought Arnold's book while listening to this. Keep up the great work Jocko!
Bot
Arnold, Jocko & Echo, thank you for a great interview. Quite a few gems: Be grateful for your past , work hard, and bridge. 😊
Jocko: Discipline Equals Freedom. Arnold: Screw Your Freedom.
Both are right
Arnold made that comment from the perspective of trying to help those out there who are vulnerable. You could say he was misinformed perhaps but at the time he felt that lives depended on people wearing masks in public. Being alive seems more important than someone putting others at risk by expressing their freedom to not have to wear a mask if they didn't want to. I can understand the frustration he was feeling at the time, even if it was misinformed.
@@Verzeke and you are wrong.
never forget
@@RichieIsRight All authoritarians could make the same excuse. Also, if we were actually free to choose and discuss the issue, then being misinformed and arguing for masks wouldn't have been as bad. But to take people's freedom away both by mandating masks and restricting discussion on the matter was too far.
Great interview Jocko and team. More of these please
That was an awesome interview. Legend recognizes Legend.
Absolutely loved it!
I can remember looking in the TV guide in 1978 looking for the next showing of "Pumpin Iron" on PBS. That documentary got me into weight lifting. I'm 61 now and still lifting, thank you Arnold.
I still love this guy regardless. He is rich in experience and personality. And seems to have love within him for humanity.
Agreed. And with Jocko interviewing Arnold, he should get guys like Sylvester Stallone, Oliver Stone and Dale Dye on the podcast. The Vietnam stories from Oliver Stone and Dale Dye would be so awesome to hear on the Jocko podcast!
He has love for his maid, too.
@@rd4660 and for Screwing your freedoms.....
@@fergusonlandmanagementweld1039 Oh hey look, it’s the cancel culture the right hates about the left, but somehow it’s ok to cancel Arnold over one statement he made!
@@rjm656Don’t get wrapped up in right Vs left. I used to consider myself right but it seems we have some crazy nutbags too. Not all of us like that shiz. I know I’ve said some things that I wish I didn’t, done things I wish I hadn’t. Keep pushing and keep striving for better!
Awesome conversation between two of the greatest Masters of our time. What a time to be alive when, by watching this, you’re made to feel as if you’ve gained access to the sacred room of heroes and have a seat at the table with a couple of the most influential and inspirational people on the planet. Crafty use of the bridging concept too, Jocko. That was a tidy way to wrap things up. Thank you for this.
This is the greatest of the great. 🔥 🔥 🔥 💪 💪 💪.
A new era begins along with this video
"Screw your freedom" - Ahhnold
I really needed to hear this
Cannot wait to watch this going to be legendary
What he said during covid was unforgettable. Freedom is everything
Man… that was a let down wasn’t it…
That was the unforgettable part.... fuckin really. Not being an immigrant, not becoming famous for lifting weights, not for becoming the highest paid action star in the world with English being your second language, then becoming a member of the government to govern California. No, one moment during covid......that was the unforgettable moment that ended up not meaning shit. I couldn't have done those things, what about you, you do something unforgettable?
To be an influence to so many people and to say "screw your freedom". Yea, that is unforgettable and a disgrace to every man and woman that has sacrificed so that others may live in liberty. Fuck Arnold.
Unforgivable
You’re right.
This one gonna be a banger 🔥
This was a ripper thank you!! ❤❤❤
This should get a lot of views and downloads. A natural pairing.
Holy sh*t they actually got Arnold on the pod!
If they don't make the king Conan movie before Arnold dies that will be the greatest missed opportunity in film history
Hour of the Dragon
Completely agree
Great to hear from Arnold ❤
This was amazing. I can't believe you got the OAK on the podcast. Great stuff! So many nuggets of wisdom.
I do not like him for multiple reasons but it is interesting to listen to his story.
"Stick around"
"Cool party."
The most exceptional interview I've seen on the internet! Thank you Jocko and Mr. Swartsanegger!
Really enjoyed the podcast. Been an Arnold fan for a long long time. I always try to find a go at Wawa. Enjoy some of your other products as well. Thank you very much.
Awesome to hear such positivity.
Wondered if I would see some 'screw your freedoms' references in here. Not disappointed, keep it up.
Thank you so much Jocko and Arnold!
amazing talk, this def need a part 2 next time.
I used to have mad respect for Arnold until covid came around...."SCREW YOUR FREEDOM"....remember this Arnie?? How quickly people forget.
Reminds me of that scene from The Newsroom when Jeff Daniels tells that American dingbat about all the World Countries that have Freedom. LMAO
Well Covid was real..
"Screw your freedom" -Arnold Schwarzenegger
First time watching the podcast, really enjoyed it 👍
Great episode!
Glad to see that old star with massive gravity pull. What a legend
I heard Arnold has great taste in house keepers.
Poor* he stepped down in quality
Arnold is such an inspiration.
Arnold is bigger than life. Thanks Jocko.

Wow.
This is Legendary. Thanks guys.
Amazing show. Thanks guys
Coming from German ancestry, I love Arnold's t-shirt. My Opa served in WW2, he reminds me so much of "Uncle Arnold." Love the windshield analogy. Truth 100%
