This segment reminds me of the story about Arnold meeting Mark Hamill in the 70's and asking for advice. Mark's response was "Change your name and lose the accent." it's why Mark says he never gives career advice anymore.

I feel like Arnold has made some dietary/exercise changes in recent years. He looked a lot more rugged and weathered a couple of years ago. Now, he looks really good and has a healthy glow to him. He also seems just as lucid as he always has, which is always nice to see when they're getting up there in age. As for Rob, I'm pretty sure he's just a vampire at this point, just like Jared Leto and Paul Rudd. I'd wager their father is William Shatner.

I paused it but you make me want to continue the video since it’s so rare that an interviewer isn’t so starved for attention, truly uninterested in the guest, or short on time that they allow the conversation to truly breathe. I hate interruptions but a close, close second is when the guest says something profound and of-depth…and the interviewer simply moves on to the best question on his/her list. This may not be 100% fair due to editing but the outcome is what it is - and sometimes, it’s gd cringeworthy.

Professional and amatuer athletes across the world in so many sports ultimately owe their muscle building acceptance and strength training discipline to the documentary, "Pumping Iron". The charismatic Arnold Schwarzeneger wins Mr. Olympia against a larger and more jacked Lou Ferragno but getting Lou to focus on getting even larger instead of "more defined". Arnold transforms the mid-'70s "muscle bound" freak bulky stereotypes "lifter loners" into engaging body sculpting performance artists. Throughout the movie, the sex appeal Arnold exudes in shifts the long-standing negative image of bodybuilding forever. Quickly athletes who would not consider getting "muscle bound" learned to properly lift for power and agility and used that knowledge and hard work as an advantage over their competition. It really elevated the performance of athletes and this paradigm shift can be traced back to Arnold, the body builders at Venice Beach and Gold's Gym.
