Good morning and welcome to episode 19 25 of Hard Factor. It is Friday, March 27th, 2025, 26. Sorry, I don't know how I put us a year back on my date, but I did. No, it's 2026. Thank you for cheating on the news with us. 80% accuracy guaranteed on this show, just like the day, the year there. Patreon.com slash hard factor. If you need more hard factor today, I'll be up first and I've got a segment for you called that really blew up in their faces. Oh, hell yeah. So, you know, love it. That's one of those. Yeah, classic, don't say less classic situations.
Okay. And then west you're on deck. What do you got? I got a story that could foot into that that theme as well. We're going to check in on Arnold Schwarzenegger and his love child and what his love child's up to. It's pretty cool, actually. After researching and digging in a little bit, I like. Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. So you mean this actually looks like him? Yes. Yeah, spitting image of him, but I have a lot of Colin. Yeah, exactly. The kid looks like the kid. Kennedy, your whatever, June. Yeah, yeah. The kid that looks like him who's also like an immigrant kind of in a way. Yeah, at least half Guatemalan. Yeah, half immigrant. Yeah, but that's actually his mom's full immigrant. He's full not so that's almost like a that's the perfect transition was because that's almost like a blew up in their faces, but then actually kind of ended pretty good. So yeah, it's a funny dynamic. That's for sure.
But yeah, I like I like he's my favorite son. Look, Patrick's a really good actor. He's been in things like white lotus, but he's whiny. He's yeah, he's the other guy definitely is tougher. Well, they're also they're also little bitches when it comes to to the the the sun. You'll hear all about it. Oh, no, they're mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they hate him. Yeah, where does Chris Arnold was a Arnold came like he was an immigrant like Arnold really should be really nice to this kid. Oh, he is. He loves him the most. Okay. Yeah, where does Chris Pratt or does Chris Pratt fall in the pecking order there? Like when they're all fucking fucking around. I don't know. I have no idea. Say an impromptu shadow boxing match breaks out at the Schwarzenegger residents, right? It's probably you're thinking this kid that we're about to talk about. It's probably the dominant force, right? My guess is that Chris Pratt plays the politics. And so he buddies up with Patrick. But yeah, probably this other
kid better. He stays on the white side. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Pratt stays on the pure white side of the dining room table. He's going along with the jokes about how this kid's not allowed there. I don't think this kid's invited to that. That's that's what I think he said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He's not allowed there. Yeah. No. Talk about him. I mean, yeah. It's a it's a separated system. I think they still got caught on. Absolutely. Separate but equal part of its movies anger towards Arnold cheating. Oh, yeah. It destroyed her life. I don't think she hates the kid. I think she hates what happened to them. Oh, yeah. She's been quoted as saying that it destroyed her life. Yeah. It's like it's like winter fell in game of thrones after bed. Stark came home with Jon Snow and then his wife assumed that to be fair to tell everybody that it was his bastard son. Two further were signs like when in pumping iron, he's like, I'm the sperminator. I coming all the time. It feels as good as pumping.
I'm coming, coming, coming. Like, I mean, there's there were there were signs. Yeah. It kind of likes to get a load off, you know. Yeah. Mark. I was direct quote. Yeah, it was pumping iron. Thank you for bringing us that. And can you tell us what you're bringing us last to close out the week? Yeah. Just going to do some funny animal stuff to end the week classic. Yeah. Can't wait for that. Yeah. What are we on 1927? 25? No. Yeah. No. No. On the 27th. No. On the 27th. Let me see. I got some fun facts for you. Fun facts. Thank you from 1925. Here we go. Okay. The archives. Okay. F. Scott Fitzgerald published the great Gatsby. What did Scott? What did Scott Fitzgerald do to you? That's pretty good. That was from like 40-year-old version. The first motel, which we all love, opened up in San Luis Obispo, California. Yeah. First motel motel in. So that was good for hookers. What was it? Yeah. Strictly for
hourly sex. No, they were classy back then. Yeah. They were just saying that was the first place. First place you could drive up and then park at your door of your hotel room. Yeah, I guess. That's where the Arnold's of the 20s went. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, the flapper. We were coming all the time in the doggies. Yeah. Great invention. Uh, and then the flapper look was at its peak women. It's short, bobbed hair, lipstick, and dancing the Charleston. Kind of sexes. Yeah. So the 20s were a fun time, right? Because it was when I was at roaring. Yeah. Coke was still like like over the counter. Well, they didn't even know it was fucking coke. It was so available. Yeah. Cause it's like in your coffee. Yeah. Like 20s were a good time. Yeah. What a time. Yeah, I mean, they didn't know it was coming. But man, what a time. What a time. A thoughtfully built wardrobe comes down to pieces that mix well and last.

Hey, you know what really blew up in their faces
the end of the 1920s and then the early beginning of the 1930s. They had a good they did they had to be taken down a notch. They did when times are too good. Yeah. They had a damn good in those 20s those were on 20s. All right. But then that really blew up in their faces and that's what this first segment of the day is called today. That really blew up in their faces. Talk about an all time backfire. Whoopsie Daisy. However you say it mistakes can often be hilarious and they often blow up in our own faces. Right. I mean, that's just how it happens for humans. Yeah. That's why it's like a very embarrassed and then it's like a weird feeling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like like when you when you're not sure whether to wave at somebody or not in public and then you think they're waving at you and you wave back but they're actually waving at somebody next to you. Yeah. I mean that's like hard to rebound. Sometimes you're like mudder to yourself or like make a worse. It's like. Yeah. You are saying some ultra loud. Ultra loud like ultra awkwardly.
No, I was waving at you. It's a real skill to rebound from a swoopsy doopsy. Whoopsie Daisy. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So these things happen. Blows up in your face sometimes. You go out there on a limb. You never know. That's life. Okay. And I've got a couple for you today that are mind blowing we bad with blown up in your in your own face there. The first one is literally a couple from Italy. And I'm talking about Sarah Ardizioni and Alessandro Mercogliano. It's got going on his face there. Well, well, they're anarchists, Mark. So that's who on his face? I think it's a picture with a woman standing next to her. Yeah. Yeah. It's him. Him with like hair in the way of him. And then that's her. And then she. So this is another angle. He's like obscured again anarchist style. She's pretty cute. Sarah, Alessandro. The pictures are so weird, Mark, because they're both known anarchists, right? So like they hard to get a picture of a hardcore
anarchist, because they're just like trying to obscure, you know, they hate everything. Yeah. Well, they hate cameras, dude. Never get a smiling picture. That's for sure. Oh, good luck. The camera drops, which won't capture the picture, unless like the camera shatters. And then yeah. Yeah. Now you can't do it. It's impossible. They're like vampires. So and also I should say that they were known anarchists, rather because they blew themselves up literally. That's an anarchist move dog. While making a protest bomb. They weren't fake anarchists. And anarchy protest bomb. Then they blew themselves up with it. And then they were actually making that anarchy protest bomb for a guy in prison, who's in prison for for making partial bombs. Okay. We get it. They're anarchists. Well, it's like five layers of bombs and it ended RIP, you know, to the Italian body and Clyde of anarchist bombings. It was. Well, they weren't
bomb makers. They were anarchists. Right. Turns out you need to do both if you're trying to like. Yeah, there's a diagram, but it's very, very small. Yeah. You got a little expertise to make a bomb. I would think you're going to want to be a pro in both if you want to do both. Yeah. And so you have to love learning. Yeah, math and wires, all that kind of stuff, weights, measurements, conversions. Yeah, it's it's a it's a it's a whole thing. You have to love school. You know, just hate science and border. Yeah, it's a it's a tough one for anarchy. And so anyways, to recap exactly what happened here on Friday, last Friday, March 20th. They exploded. The couple exploded in an abandoned cottage in Rome's of Paracol del Gui, aquedato. That's a cool looking spot. Yeah. Yeah, they're just out in the most beautiful spot building a bomb. What what pieces of shit? How can you be an anarchist in that environment?
It's looking out your window. It's gorgeous. There's vineyards and you're building a bomb. Nothing is going to change them. It's beautiful, guys. This is literally the park of the Roman aqueducts at the edge of the city. That's great. Yeah. So it's just your you're in a abandoned cottage out there at the 99.99 percent of people feel joy probably in that environment. Oh, yeah. But it was extreme pain and desire for chaos that they felt inside the anarchist cottage there. So the anarchists building an anarchy bomb in the shadows of the Roman aqueducts, the ancient symbol of globalism, basically, if there ever was ones that are like living on it, they proceeded to assemble the bomb wrong. And then when they made, you know, tried to like, okay, the next step is to like, cinch it in. Run? Yeah. And then they blew themselves the bits. And they also blew the abandoned cabin or cottage. She stoned cabin cottage to bits as
well. So yeah, totally everything's in bits now. That's the greatest loss. Yeah. That was like probably a sweet ass like ancient, not ancient or like old-ish Roman cottage. They were having some good sex. I mean, you can tell look at her that she like she makes love and in the midst of bomb making and in a cottage like that. Yeah, dude, I'd like to get my hands on that video too. Can't smell anarchists without the first half of anal. It's it's so incredible. So reports claim they weren't necessarily probably so good. Oh, yeah, for sure. The smelliest dude. They don't have a shower out that shot. It'll give a shit. So smelly. Yeah, shit. But they're anarchists. It's chaos. That's what they love. So reports, you know, claimed that they weren't necessarily going to kill anyone else with the anarchy bomb they were building in the in the anarchy cottage, but it was definitely built in the name of a 58-year-old Alfredo Caspito Caspizo. I need to get the name right.
Who's doing 20 years for male bombs, you know, to people. So, you know, it's not necessary. Yeah. There's like the Italian version of someone trying to break out the uniformer. Kind of. Yeah, it was the vibes when I was reading the papers, but I don't know exactly. I'm not Italian, so don't quote me on that. But the irony. Oh, I'd love to hear the comments from the Italians defending that tick. Whatever. I don't know. But the irony of like the weird-looking anarchist dude, he's in his 50s. He's 52, having a hot girlfriend, like 20 years younger than him, a beautiful cottage, beautiful cottage built by the biggest corporation ever to exist on Earth, the Roman Empire. And then he literally just blows it all up by being tough. What if he, for example, was just playing the anarchist because she's an anarchist and he wanted to do it. Yeah, whatever it takes. Right. One of the fucker and a cottage. You want to build a bomb? Yeah, let's do it. And he pretended like you knew how, because she was like, she tasked him with it. No chance. He's 52. He's been in it forever. And then yeah, I mean, she's 36, 20, almost 20 years younger.
Yeah, he had to be the original anarchist here. They were trying to bust out their buddy Alfredo. Good guys too much. So they were going to use the bomb to bust them out of the jail. To protest his jailing and cause us anarchy style, or they will kill in the name of them. They will continue unless you let them out. Yeah. Anarchy style. Yeah. Well, they gave up literally probably the most beautiful cottage, sex cottage, free sex cottage on a public park. They were living in for free of all time. And they literally blew it up the pieces. They were probably his last hope too, those two. Yeah. Some tells me they were his last two followers. Anyone that's following them now that hears this story might have second thoughts. Sorry to everybody involved with them. Hard to top that all time backfire. But guys, McDonald's CEO, you know, I'm talking about. Do not do another taste test. No, but we got to talk about it again. Chris Kemskinski. This guy, you know what he is.
He's he's he's doing his damnedest with the launch of the big arch. This, this march at McDonald's. And since we did, what if we just dim the lights tonight? What if we just, you know, just barely enough so I can see you. So I, yeah, so I don't have to see the burger. And maybe, and maybe you know, he pitched a green screen. Or a fake, yeah, fake burger. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, he could like, he could like chew on a tennis ball. They could, what if we animate this? Yeah, he definitely pitched that. So since we did the roast of his big arch launch launch on Patreon's high deluxe, which is dropping soon, by the way, patreon.com slash hard factor for February. So we, we, I think we were one of the first outlets actually roast his big arch launch, because we did it like, it like came to our phones while we were taping the show. Yeah, everyone was telling us to roast and we're like, oh, we already, already did. And I saw a bunch of iron videos, but they were like a week later. It was so like, but we were like, yeah, exactly. We were way too ahead of it. But let's, since we already did be on the paywall, we did it. But you, but here's, here's the little taste. So let's just run it
back. I got to wrap up March and see how this big arch launch really went from McDonald's. Here's the viral launch clip from the beginning of the month. First K here with you've heard about it. Here it is. The big arch. This is something that we have tested already in Portugal, Germany, Canada. I love this product. It is so good. I'm going to do a tasting right now, but I'm going to eat this for my lunch just so you know. Okay. Here we go. First holy cow. God, that is a big nut. Spell. Got a very unique kind of. He's never seen this thing before. Hoppy sort of bun on it. We've got two quarter pound patties, a delicious big arch sauce, and of course, some lettuce. So oh, there's so much going on with this. It's like a guy's never seen a burger to get this thing. It's so dry. I don't even know how to attack it. I don't want to attack it. There's also some crispy onions on here as well. I see those coming out. All right, the moment of truth. Look at the bite. Look how small it is. What a fucking. That's so good.
That was mostly bread for a big arch bread. It's distinctively McDonald's. No point out of it. I don't want to do this type of burger, but it also was unlike anything else on our menu. It's a delicious product. You know, you got to take a second bite. Jesus and the gooeyness, but those crispy onions as well because a nice texture. And of course, we've got the pickles. So I'm going to enjoy the rest of my lunch. No, you're well, big arch. Try it when you can get it. He's firing. He's firing whoever made a meat that he vomited immediately after after the after the one bite of the big arch. I think he didn't even really. It was 90% bread. Now he took like a the tiniest bird bite. And then they faked a big bite out of like a close-up and then they go back to him and there's no bite out of his burger. Yeah. So he got roasted obviously at the beginning of the month for launching that shit. Disgusting clip. Basically nobody believes this guy actually eats McDonald's. You know, roasted for a month. Go back to go back to the part where he opens the box. He's like, whoa. What the fuck is this here with? You've heard about it.
Here it is. The big arch. This is something that we have tested already in Portugal, Germany, Canada. I love this product. It is so good. I'm going to do a tasting right now, but I'm going to eat this for my lunch just so you know. So here we go first. Holy cow. That is a big burger. He's got a very unique kind of sesame. God, that is a big burger. And then he doesn't know how to describe the bun. It's like he's never seen a fucking burger. It's got a bunch of seeds on it, people. It's a burger. Even you know what it is. I don't. So that's that's the McDonald's CEO again. That's Chris Kinski. And so as I said, nobody believes him. All the other CEOs of fast food change roasted this motherfucker for a month. Dude, when he started hiring a taste tester to control this, they're like, we'll pay you $150,000 a year to not do what he did on camera.
Wendy's was the first reply, like paying for their first reply spot on every single McDonald's post for like two weeks after that. Yeah, it's funny is his wife apparently called him out in an interview. Just saying that that's what he looks at posting like. Yeah. So here saying that he's here she is. The gym like this little race. What the fuck is that fun interview? And he said, last time I remember was during the big arch clip, I rarely see you, he McDonald's. So yeah, just completely what we expected. She's exactly what everybody you can replace rarely with never. Yeah, the guy looks like a human keyblur elf. And so anyways, bad goes to worse because the worst case scenario with the big arch launch has now happened for McDonald's. The Big Mac King. You guys know who I'm talking about right here. Of course, I'm referring to the guy who's eating 5,000 big Macs. Oh, like 40,000. Yeah. Donald Don Gorsky of Fondelac, Wisconsin.
World record holder of Big Mac's Eaton since 1999. He ate his first one in 1972. He is 72 years old. He has his own designated seat to pound Big Macs at the Fondelac McDonald's. The man has eaten over 35,746 Macs that is one a day since 1972. Don Gorsky knows a fucking Big Mac. And he likes the fucking sandwich. Big Macs are good. But you eat anything every day. You get sick of it. What the hell is wrong with them? This guy is a lunatic. He's a lunatic. Genuinely loves the Big Mac. It came out and he ate a Big Mac. He was never going back. This guy is more the CEO of fucking McDonald's than the CEO of McDonald's. Don Gorsky. I mean, he's the Big Mac King. I mean, he's basically the new Ronald McDonald's. They couldn't even pay him enough to say that he likes the Big Arch better, which is insane. That's exactly right. The guardian. So nobody, so he's a man of honor.
How did McDonald's not get Don Gorsky? So the Big Arch is supposed to be a double quarter pounder version of the Big Mac. How did McDonald's not get Don Gorsky on board with the Big Arch launch? That's insane. The guardian finally called him late in the month to ask him, you know, what he thought about the allegedly new and improved Big Mac, the Big Arch. And this is what the Big Mac King Don Gorsky had to say. He goes, I wasn't really crazy about it. I'm sure it's great for people that are younger, but for me, it's like eating a steak or something. I just think the Big Mac is better. I don't like the Big Arch as much as the Big Mac. You ever had a Big Mac? You asked the guy that ate 36,000 Big Macs. I tried one. That was it. And it'll stay that way. Okay. And then he hung the fuck up on the guardian, because that's how Don Gorsky rolls. And wow, that really blew up in McDonald's faces. So not only did the fucking CEO get roasted for a month over the Big Arch. Now the Big Mac
King has come out and said, fuck the Big Arch, basically. I mean, this thing, it's dead on arrival. The big, doing that, that CEO thing. Dead on arrival. That really blew up in their faces. It's like when you let Titanic, one of the famous ships they try to break the champagne bottle is backfires. Yeah. That's tough too. You can't go break bottle didn't break. I mean, Gorskis must be such a lunatic because you know they've tried to get them involved, but they just can't be wrangled. He just can't be swayed. And you don't want him anywhere anywhere around you probably. No. Don Gorsky or Gorsky. You don't want to hang out the guy that's eating a Big Mac a day for 27 years. No, they've tried. I want to spend a day with Gorsky. I know where you find him will. You know what I'd like to see is a reality show that let's Don Gorsky tell the CEO how to do his job better. But it would only be the big
back on them. But the people love Don Gorsky McDonald's, he's a McDonald's person. That's a McDonald's guy. That's a guy. Well, look, it's a little bit like the three bears. I think Gorsky is a little too hot and the CEO is a little too cold. Maybe find someone in the middle that doesn't throw up when they eat the product and doesn't think the Big Mac is the only thing that exists in the world. They're going to have to do something because this thing, this big arch launch has just gone pretty much as poorly as you could as you as you could think it could, you know. Yeah. It's a tough situation. But burger's not that bad. But no, I mean, I've I've I've I've I've definitely if thought about it, but I haven't gotten it. But I think if I got up to the window, I would still go back to the double quarter pounder. And I mean, you haven't gotten it again. We've all got it again. Or the big Mac or the big Mac, honestly. I haven't been back since I got it, but I actually did really like it. Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was not bad. It's not bad. Okay. But hey, if something just blew up in your face and you need to relax, you know,
regroup, refocus. What I like to do is toss in a nice little pouch from my trusty 10 of Lucy's right here. 100% pure nicotine always tobacco free.

like Pat and his family, he Pat can thank President Trump when his weight at the TSA lines coming home are much shorter. As Donald Trump is using what's called the National Emergency Act to pay TSA agents. It's a loophole you can go around the Congress and it uses unspent government funds to be used temporarily to pay TSA agents. So if you're traveling on that couple days, hopefully the TSA lines will be a lot shorter for you. And it kind of was a national emergency. I mean, that was horrible. It's like the third time the TSA agents have been paid in the past because it's because you they can't agree on actual approved budget forever. It's been like years since we've had an actual approved. Get your fucking act together, everyone. Dude, Congress, somehow like everything is so bad in the US government right now. Like everybody's pulling like
so far below 50% approval. Like no, but no, it's just shit. Yeah, it's across the board. It's a mess. But hey, you know, I mean, they're like one of the first lines of defense against another 9-11, might want to pay the people. Yeah, it's pretty important. Anyways, it's never a slow day, unless you're in like fucking Idaho airport or something. Yeah, I mean, lines have been like, they're like four hours in some airports. Yeah, the hub airport. Do you imagine Orlando airport right now? Orlando airports a shit hole mess of a line when the TSA is getting paid full time. It's a problem. I mean, I don't know why they're in the shit show. Glad they're doing some about it. South by the other week. Yeah, the last three weeks. Yeah. Glad they're doing something about it. But the the answer is always just more spending, which is like the whole fucking problem in the first place because they can't agree on a budget. It's reasonable. And so now they're just like, yeah, just just to prove whatever. So yeah, they fucking care while they cheat on stocks.
Like they really care. Oh, nobody cares. Nobody cares about our our our coach. That's probably why they can't work out a fucking budget for years of years because they don't really give a fuck. They don't we don't give a fuck. All right, let's talk about something a little more hilarious. Remember this guy in his mom. There is there is there's the young whipper snapper. That is Arnold's love child. Look at how much he looks like Arnold. That's Joseph Bania and his mom who was Arnold's maid and Arnold fucked her and kept it a secret for a long time. Yeah, except for when the kids start to grow up. Yeah, except he couldn't hide it when the kids started to grow up and looked exactly like him. That's that's what it all came crumbling down. That she's like a big box of Guatemalan woman with a very distinct face and the kid came out a clone of her. Oh, and he's like, yeah, I know, but like, you know, he looks a lot like Arnold.
That is Arnold. That is that is Latino Arnold. Yeah, it is Arnold though. Yeah, one of the funniest things I heard with Tom Marvel was on Howard Stern talking about how he would go over there and like the kid would be there. Tom would look at the kid and be like, we need to tell people. We all know. It wasn't it. It was a baby kid best friends when they did, um, true lies, true lies that we can. The oldies knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it wasn't the kid was 13. It was 2011 when he finally came out and was like, yeah, right. You got me. I fucked the fuck the May and had a kid with her. Every like grocery store, like rag magazine was like calling it for like, you know, years. Yeah, yeah. Arnold loves child. Yeah, it's amazing. But he's all grown up now and he is ripped. There he is. He's jacked dude. He's jacked here. He graduated from Pepperdine. There he is with him and his mom.
He's I've listened to a couple interviews with him. He's actually got a good personality. And yeah, I mean, he's he's the one that's taking after Arnold the most, unless you count the son who's an actor. But this guy is really falling as footsteps. Here's the rest of the family of Arnold that that that hate the kid because it destroyed their mom and his marriage and Maria Shriver still doesn't. You can understand that. Of course, of course. I mean, I can understand hating the mom, hating the Joseph's mom, but hating the kid. No, that's why they say since the father, since the mother is it's just it's fucked up. He'll be fine. So I'm pumping iron. He's going to be good. Yeah. Yeah. But Joseph is following in Arnold's footsteps so much that he is training with Arnold for his day view at the NPC natural Colorado state bodybuilding competition this Saturday in Denver, Colorado. How how pissed are you if you're like one of the other competitors. A lot, but at least it doesn't say last name Schwarzenegger because that would be even scarier. Yeah, yeah. He kept, I don't know if it
was it wasn't his choice to not have. No, he wasn't. And he's left with his mom for ever since the kid. No, his last name snow. But Arnold of of their relationship, Joseph said it's been a great journey and he's always been so supportive of whatever I do, you know, except when he denied he existed, of course. So I'm just really grateful to have a dad like him. And again, the rumor is the other four children don't like Joseph. And I've got a video that kind of it's hilarious because he kept them around the whole time. So even though he didn't tell anybody, he's been right on your noses. Yeah. Oh, the kid was there with the house made forever. Yeah. Every breath was well, because I wanted to see him. Yeah. Well, also she had to bring him the work. I got right. Yeah. We have it was a double whammy. He's like, yeah, as you can bring the car to child to work. I will play with him today. Yes, it would be good.
That's fucking amazing. It looks just like him. Anyway, here's a video. It's kind of cheesy, but it's kind of tells a little bit about their backstory and why Arnold loves him the most. Why among Arnold Schwarzenegger's five children? Does he favor Son Joseph Baina the most? The heartbreaking reasons behind it. With all five of his children, everyone says Joseph is the spitting image of Schwarzenegger, and the action star seems to show exceptional attention to his illegitimate son. Is there a secret behind this? First, Joseph's independent and resilient personality deeply appeals to his father. Instead of taking his father's last name, he insists on keeping his mother safe. Hey, hi, video. And has forged his own path in Hollywood. When Schwarzenegger offered to provide resources, Joseph decisively refused a self-reliance that has made Schwarzenegger immensely proud. Second, Joseph resembles Schwarzenegger the most. He perfectly inherited his father's genes. Schwarzenegger once said, looking at Joseph is like looking at myself in my youth. What's more, Joseph has expressed a desire to build a... Anyway, there you go. So, Arnold looks at him and he sees himself. I see myself, but just a little Guatemalan version of myself. Yeah, it's beautiful.
I love you anywhere across the world. Yeah. Now, I like Joseph. He seems like a cool dude. He's got charisma on the interviews, so I hope he does well. I don't know if you guys heard about this, though. Other Arnold news. He's gonna... They're making Conan the Barbarian. And it's gonna... No, with Arnold. Oh, come on. It's gonna be all-ass. So, he's like the king and he's gonna have to have a younger person. I don't know what his role is gonna be, but they're remaking Conan the Barbarian. It's in development, 20th century studios, directly by Christopher McQuerry. And then also, he's got a new Santa Claus movie coming out. Adam Shankman's upcoming Christmas comedy, The Man with the Bag for Amazon and MGM. He's gonna be a Santa, and then... Okay, what's it? Yeah. Arnold. Yeah. Is this just because he regrets that he couldn't speak English during the first Conan filming. And so, now he wants to like AI his young body onto his head now, because you
can... He has a lot to say now that he's 50 years older. Yeah. Yeah. But he's out there doing it. He's quite the man. Yeah. I love Arnold. I can't always love Arnold. I can't wait to see the Christmas movie. Pat and I bought... Still out there coming. Pat and I have a project bought every single one of his movies on DVD. I think we got the entire catalog minus like one movie. We had pumping iron. We had raw deal on DVD. Raw deal on DVD was really hard to find. Yeah, raw deals great movie. I mean, horrible movie. He'll be filling out paperwork for days. I always loved Arnold. I wrote a paper on him in like seventh grade. It's a great, he's a great actor. Great actor, great, great American.

Got an animal kicked him up there for you today. All animals all the time. Cranky. First up, first animal. Let me see if I got him. Is he in here? Reacher. What an animal. Police fully exonerated him for beating his British neighbor's ass
after reviewing the full body cam footage and said if anyone could have and should have successfully pressed charges, it was Reacher. Yeah. I mean, obviously, if you watch the tape, and then I saw that the fucking whiny neighbor was like, he didn't give me any money. It's like, no, shit, dude. He's not getting any money. The police, the local police are on Reacher's side. Yeah, because if you watch the tape, dude, unlike in a couple seasons of Reacher, the local police are on Reacher's side. Dude, imagine there, they're they're going to fuck with the British guy now. Yeah. He overstepped a little bit. He probably didn't know he had the body cam on. Yeah. British guy's going to fuck because he was just waiting in the middle of the street for God knows how long five minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, turns out that guy sucks. And everyone loves Reacher. And then everyone. Um, now he was like trending on my TV, too, after that, like they're, uh, everybody's rush the development of the next season of Reacher. Yeah.
Yeah. They pump him out like once a year, but the last one came out recently. So they got a, they got a really expedite. They added it. Well, in America, it just proves that you just beat the shit out of a annoying British dude in the middle of the street. That's still, that's still played. That's still rules. That's still just fucking gets you a lot of juice in the States. Yeah. A British guy telling you what to do, telling you. Yeah. Yeah. He stops you from motorcycling. You can't do this in America is taxing him. Um, and don't not representing him. Now, obviously, I have done and we'll continue to do a lot of punch updates. Uh, right. So I'm going to do him again today. And look, as predicted, punch has just become a man as of late, not sure how I missed this first clip that I'm about to play you. Um, it says there's a timestamp of 3.11. Maybe that's some sort of Japanese secretory. Um, but if not, punch was getting down, down on 3.11 day, check him out, getting all up in his girl's ass. This is incredible, incredible work by punch.
Yeah. That's our ass. Is he fisting her? He's fingering the absolute for Jesus out of her asshole. He's getting his mouth in there. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Dirty boy. Oh, pervert. Yeah. He's all in there. Oh, yeah. Look on. He's like knucks. He's several knucks deep. He's tossing her salad. She loves it though. I mean, she's bent over. She's putting it up. She's not moving. He's tossing her salad. He's not tall enough to mount her. What are you thinking about? Okay. He tried to, but then she ran away. Wait, does she have balls? No. No, no, it's bad. Boone asked her, like, bad glasses. So if you look at the beginning, there was a bloody asshole. Oh, I don't want to play this one yet. Um, if you look at them, you're getting there was a bloody asshole from an adult female. She needs to ask play. She should get the preparation. H spray. Let me see if I can show you the real. So take take a close looking like the far left. It looks to me like a giant bloody asshole from a large female. Can you see it? Go back. No. Do you see the left? It might be cut off in the single. Sorry. There's there's a there's a big you can tell the females are like
later. It's like fird and she's got red coming right out of her ass, but it's not like she's actively bleeding. It's just like, that's what the ass is looking like. Just residual. It's just dripping like. It's a shit. So he was next to and not surprisingly, punches actions have been getting some attention from the ladies. Here's a clip of him just getting absolutely harassed by three women who like what he does. He tosses out like that. Yeah. So here is there's three women. They're going to chase him and it's going to surround them and figure out like that. Toss my salad next. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, if he's known as the most meticulous asshole cleaner in the entire pack of monkeys, he's going to be popular with ladies. Yeah. And he is. And as we predicted, he's just kind of just kind of becoming a man because bro's getting a Kings belly. Take a look at this last one. This is punch showing off his pouch. He just live in the life. Look at him. He's got a little bit of a little bit of a gut. He's growing up. They have any of him jerking off yet. There's one
of it. There's one that he didn't play of him. Humping his mom, though. And the title was punch. Doesn't know people are watching. It's like, well, I mean, it's the zoo. I think he knows, but he was definitely helping his mom, though. But he's getting less attached to it as you can tell. He's moving on to the real thing trying to fuck a real live macaque monkey. It's going to end soon with punch getting decapitated and his skin skin for worn by another male or with him ruling the monkeys. It's coming to a head. Yeah. Yeah. You can't just go willy nilly finger and assholes with no no. All the women want punch. They were bullying him. Like it's going to come to a head soon. He's going to have to kill. He's got to kill another male bunker. You're going to have to answer it for that eventually. I mean, unless he unless he like actually bones the boss's girl, I think he's going to be all right. He's just going to be clean and assholes for a long time. All eyes are on him. Well, you never know. Yeah, for sure. He's never know. He's at center stage. Yeah. Could pop off or cats. I love him. Big cat guy. Suck on this cat haters. This is a fat orange
cat. Let me see if I can find this fucking picture. Fat orange cats. Well, all orange cats are insane. All males, right? Orange cats have to be male. Yes. I think so. Yes, Will. And also, they're all also insane. It's like widely known orange cats are like the most real bunches and kids. They're all males are all Tom cats. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're going to be pretty nuts. They are nuts. Here's a fat orange cat who got stuck in his odors recliner chair in their Kansas home when he ran to hide upon the owner taking out the crate to get him to the vets. Oh, that's one of those spotted ones. I don't know. Yeah, that's not a that's not a true orange. Orange orange tabbies, I think, are all men. Yeah. I know. Orange tabbie. Yeah. He, um, he saw the crate coming out and he ran under like one of those older climbers that have the metal like I had one of these like that had one of these like the 90s. Like these are like the heavy duty old. Oh, yeah, lazy boys. Yeah. Metal underneath. Yeah. Like you have to like oil them to open up. This is this is my couch except it's electric, you know, but it still has
this kind of shit. Dude, this is why cats are so annoying sometimes. They're always trying to get inside furniture. Just get. Yeah. Why do you have to be inside the furniture? You know, well, fucking fucking, um, Kansas City firefighters had to come and break out the saw and they cut the chair and half to rescue them. They had to saw through the chair. So the chair is gone. Yeah, that's a cat for you. That's how deep it got into the furniture. They had to have a fucking firefighter saw it out. Fucking asshole cost them their favorite recliner. Yes. Because you want to go to the vets to get told he's fat, uh, which was absolutely about to happen. I mean, he did prove he's not too fat. He did get in there. True. He escaped enough to call the fire department on him. Yeah. Yeah. He was got in there. He's not that fat. He did get in there. Yeah. Yeah, cats like octopus though. They can kind of even the fat ones. Yeah. As long as the head, as long as the head can get through. That's right. That's right. Well, so if your head can get through the body, can if your head can go in, you can come out. Um, and lastly, will you brought us smoking birds recently? Thank you. Yeah. Well, squirrels, the birds, the land took notice and
they recently took up vaping globally. I might add like in droves. Hmm. Dude. They're just like vaping, like crazy. My favorite part about this trend is that some of those squirrels are smoking weed when they're vaping and those squirrels are getting so fucking high. Dude, they're sucking them down here. I'll play a video. They're like, blowing those squirrels' minds, the weed pens. They're sucking hard. They're absolutely, like they know how to work the vape. I'll show you. Check these fuckers out in action. I got a clip of it here. Yeah. Watch these guys. It means he's going to town on me. Yeah. I mean, they're just fucking puffing. Amazing clouds, bro.
