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.
@@mercedesw211classic so you’re ok with someone basically saying Fuk you? Instead of siding with the people, he chooses to kiss the terrible lefts ass to stay relevant? Lol ok
@@mercedesw211classic perhaps Arnie should take Extreme ownership on not telling others how to live their lives...otherwise he begins to sound like another maniac from past Austrian history;)
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. 😆
@@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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 ;)
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!
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.
@@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.
"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
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!
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.
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.
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.
Mr Jocko , please become our next president, you have braveness, integrity, love, compassion, humanity, honesty. We the people will support you all the way. Please at think about it, God bless always 🙏
Imagine being this upset over a mask. Do you get this mad when you have to drive a certain speed limit? Wear a seatbelt? Not smoke indoors? And all the other things we do as a society to keep one another safe?
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??"
Jocko willink has aligned himself with fox News which i know is controlled opposition, it is not surprising he is coming to arnold schwarzenegger for this right wing interview show.But as of now the push for Ukraine joining nato is a sign of world War 3.Please jocko don't be apart of this agenda it is not worth it you pledge to protect the country both foreign and domestic and arnold schwarzenegger is not for the well being of this country as I observed him for years! Please don't go down this road joko.
I’ve seen a shit ton of Arnold interviews over the years but, this one is by far the best. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him cuss this much, it’s hilarious! The amount of respect I have for the 3 of these guys is immeasurable, each one of them patriots in their own way. God bless America. 💪🏼🙏🏻🇺🇸🥩
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.
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.
It is nice to see how Jocko is dealing with the same issue I was confronted when meeting him and how he is listening like a child to his dad because of that special aura that Arnold is surrounded with. Me and everybody else I know who worked with him had the same experience when meeting Arnold. You almost don't have a chance to talk, HE is taking over the complete scene wherever he wanders.
Love Love Love! Thank you Jocko& Echo for hosting this amazing Icon! Star struck by just viewing on UA-cam! I watch all of your content, however; this one is very entertaining as well as informative!
This was so delightful. You know, when You are having great people around, when You can't stop having a chit chat. Great stuff! Arnold is absolutely incredible person and I enjoyed that he didn't forget to thank them for their service.
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!
@@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!
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!
Love how Arnold just didn't want to end the podcast and kept going on, while Jocko respectfullly tried to not take more time of his and tried ending it a few times :)
Fun interview with an amazing life message at the end, Arnold applying the lesson he learned from former father-in-law Sargent Shriver. I've never been into body building but enjoyed all of Arnold's movies. When he ran for governor I was a critic simply because he ran as a Republican and it was revealed he made some "sexist" remarks in a very early documentary movie about hooking up. I'm a real and true idiot. Arnold was one of the best governor's in CA's history. Still not into body building, but the Arnold has me pumped to set a goal for losing weight and adding some muscle def. Thanks for the interview and thank you for your service.
Used to have massive respect for Arnold..I even owned his Encyclopedia of Body Building....he was one of the core people I regailed their feats...he technically never should have succeeded up against the odds but he did repeatedly..he built up his position in life unfortunately to the point where he could take a dump on The People and their freedoms and rights and expected them to still support him... see that's the beauty of freedom... Definitely will enjoy some more Jocko...but hard passing on Arnie because well my freedom over his bs narrative is of course my right...but good on you for being willing to...tbat I do respect... I don't know, maybe one day I'll be able to stomach this one but it won't be today.✨️
Did he screw the pooch as Governator? He cheated on his wife...how did you lose it for him? Did he sell out somewhere (i think that was his goal). Sell it! #sellout
Our freedoms, mean we have a responsibility to each other. For the greater good. Arnold was talking about people using their "freedoms" as an excuse to be selfish. And not care about the welfare of others.
I don't expect to change your mind. I've found that those on the side of oppression under the guise of responsibility lack a soft heart that is open to other's plight. Those that believe in individual freedom, also understand that responsibility is chosen, not forced on others. @@grantharper7515
@@grantharper7515 What makes you think it wasn't planned to use it to subvert the sovereignty of nations and strip people's rights and freedoms. And atrocities have been committed throughout history "for the greater good."
Jocko interviews most interesting characters..... Read Cigar Afficionado's Arnold intervie..... interesting. This interview unique, not only cus both Jocko & Echo are successful bodybuilders, but also that Arnold gets to reflect in a chummy fasion. Beautiful... .
@@supermansinger2771 whoops omg I got the exact wording wrong but the translation is literally still the same. "Screw your freedom" so sorry buddy. You feel better now😂?
Interview with Dr Mike Israetel - great human being! Hi Jocko, Thank you for your work and everything you are doing. I hope somehow I can get through the millions of comments but I was wondering if you could interview with Dr Mike Israetel.
Soon as Jocko introduces Arnold and mentions his new book “Be Usefull”, I paused, went over to audible and bought it. Listened to chapter 1, then came back to this podcast. Will finish it after. You both are fountains of Golden knowledge nuggets made of the purest awesomeness resulting in the warming sensation of gentle radiating wisdom gently caressing your friction ridge skin😂 👊🏼 🤘🏼 ❤🎉. . . 😅

He lost a lot of respect when he said that sh*t.
Yup, never forgot about that.
He was right, freedom has limits, democracy has rules and responsibilities.
Don't be babies, grow up.
@@mercedesw211classic so you’re ok with someone basically saying Fuk you? Instead of siding with the people, he chooses to kiss the terrible lefts ass to stay relevant? Lol ok
@@mercedesw211classic perhaps Arnie should take Extreme ownership on not telling others how to live their lives...otherwise he begins to sound like another maniac from past Austrian history;)
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. 😆

@@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.
the fact that Arnold is 77 is crazyyy! mad respect, super inspiring

@@firefly9838 truth.
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.
I watched pumping iron at 17 and I've loved the gym ever since. Arnold is an inspiration.
dude this was such an awesome episode, be the best grandpa you could ask for to hangout and listen to.

Think they are at Arnold’s place. Least the trophies make me believe that
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!
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.

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 ♥️♥️♥️
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.
That's not even a bother comment though. I mean... it's true. He did
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
After listening to this podcast I had the best leg day of my life. Hit multiple PR's! Super motivating :D

Best Arnold interview EVER! That's saying something because I may have watched them ALL over the last 45 years.
That was a hell of a podcast. 🔥
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 ;)
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!

@@anthonystitt3052you sound like a idiot
This is the best story telling I've heard from Arnold, Jocko has created a masterpiece with this interview......by listening
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.
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

Thank you Arnold! Always inspiring!
Awesome episode Jocko. Arnold has been a huge inspiration for me since I was a teenager
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!
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.
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.
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.
Mr Jocko , please become our next president, you have braveness, integrity, love, compassion, humanity, honesty. We the people will support you all the way. Please at think about it, God bless always 🙏
Echo wielding that Conan sword was awesome
I love how Arnold was just casually talking about curling 275....I feel so weak right now.
One fought for freedom and the other was willing to take yours away if you didn’t comply.
Imagine being this upset over a mask. Do you get this mad when you have to drive a certain speed limit? Wear a seatbelt? Not smoke indoors? And all the other things we do as a society to keep one another safe?
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 🙄🙄🙄
I will never say anything against Jocko or Echo. But Arnold has a forever black eye after telling people “Screw your freedom”
Unforgivable black eye.
This is deep and I wish jocko not to go this route. I really hope joke not to go the same route as arnold schwarzenegger as sold out to.
Jocko willink has aligned himself with fox News which i know is controlled opposition, it is not surprising he is coming to arnold schwarzenegger for this right wing interview show.But as of now the push for Ukraine joining nato is a sign of world War 3.Please jocko don't be apart of this agenda it is not worth it you pledge to protect the country both foreign and domestic and arnold schwarzenegger is not for the well being of this country as I observed him for years! Please don't go down this road joko.
Freedom of speech doesnt apply to things you dont like than yeah?
@@ramonbakker9786I don’t see how the person is not allowing freedom of speech. He simply doesn’t like what Arnold said
I’ve seen a shit ton of Arnold interviews over the years but, this one is by far the best. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him cuss this much, it’s hilarious! The amount of respect I have for the 3 of these guys is immeasurable, each one of them patriots in their own way. God bless America. 💪🏼🙏🏻🇺🇸🥩
Instant classic. Felt like I was sitting there with you boys chilling with Arnold
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.
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.
Arnold, Jocko & Echo, thank you for a great interview. Quite a few gems: Be grateful for your past , work hard, and bridge. 😊
Most inspirational Podcast i´ve heard in a while, much love
It is nice to see how Jocko is dealing with the same issue I was confronted when meeting him and how he is listening like a child to his dad because of that special aura that Arnold is surrounded with. Me and everybody else I know who worked with him had the same experience when meeting Arnold. You almost don't have a chance to talk, HE is taking over the complete scene wherever he wanders.
Wow, Arnie has now hit the big time, being on Jockos' podcast.
I see great things for you, kid.
Didn’t realize how much I needed to hear what Arnold had to say. Great guy

love this guy regardless. He is rich in experience and personality. And seems to have love within him for humanity.

What Arnold said during Covid is unforgivable.
What?
This was amazing. I can't believe you got the OAK on the podcast. Great stuff! So many nuggets of wisdom.
A new era begins along with this video
Fun interview with an amazing life message at the end, Arnold applying the lesson he learned from former father-in-law Sargent Shriver. I've never been into body building but enjoyed all of Arnold's movies. When he ran for governor I was a critic simply because he ran as a Republican and it was revealed he made some "sexist" remarks in a very early documentary movie about hooking up. I'm a real and true idiot. Arnold was one of the best governor's in CA's history. Still not into body building, but the Arnold has me pumped to set a goal for losing weight and adding some muscle def. Thanks for the interview and thank you for your service.
Used to have massive respect for Arnold..I even owned his Encyclopedia of Body Building....he was one of the core people I regailed their feats...he technically never should have succeeded up against the odds but he did repeatedly..he built up his position in life unfortunately to the point where he could take a dump on The People and their freedoms and rights and expected them to still support him... see that's the beauty of freedom... Definitely will enjoy some more Jocko...but hard passing on Arnie because well my freedom over his bs narrative is of course my right...but good on you for being willing to...tbat I do respect... I don't know, maybe one day I'll be able to stomach this one but it won't be today.✨️
Did he screw the pooch as Governator? He cheated on his wife...how did you lose it for him? Did he sell out somewhere (i think that was his goal). Sell it! #sellout
The most exceptional interview I've seen on the internet! Thank you Jocko and Mr. Swartsanegger!

Our freedoms, mean we have a responsibility to each other. For the greater good. Arnold was talking about people using their "freedoms" as an excuse to be selfish. And not care about the welfare of others.
I don't expect to change your mind. I've found that those on the side of oppression under the guise of responsibility lack a soft heart that is open to other's plight. Those that believe in individual freedom, also understand that responsibility is chosen, not forced on others. @@grantharper7515
