I haven't met him. I hope Basile will introduce me to him one day. I want to show Arnold some ironmeister photoshops.

We have a strong platonic business partnership.

Yes.

Spoke a couple of times with him on the phone, and I met him once or twice at the Arnold, backstage (once with Maria). He was all smiles and pleasant. When I told him I worked at MuscleMag, he said something like, "Oh, you work for Robert kennedy! We're good friends!"

Friendly dude. But we didn't chat much as there were hordes of people clamoring for his time, obviously.

P.S. One of the times, Franco was also milling around. SMALL dude. Seriously, the guy was not only short, but also TINY. Like, zero muscular size.

Back in the day, I was with my supermodel girlfriend, redocrating my west coast mansion.

Anyways long story short I told him how my girl is sick of blowing my 10 inch cock in my ferrari so I made an order for first civilian hummer.

The bastard was competitive in those days and somehow jumped ahead of me on the order sheet, what a fucking kuntie move that was.

I wonder if Stallone and Arnold sit around asking each other "Have you ever met a Getbigger?"

The wife and I were on vacation in LA / Beverly hills and he passed next to us with his security detail.. walked into a suit shop.. he smiled and was cordial when we said hi..
Regret we didn't ask if we could of taken a picture with him..
Nobody was around.. we felt intimidated due to all the security around him..
He was still the governor of California when we saw him..

Met him when I worked on the movie "Raw Deal" with him. Even worked out at Gold's in Wilmington, NC at the same time he was working out where it was filmed at Dino DeLaurentis studio (at the time) anyway.

Was always super friendly to the crew and other actors. almost like he was running for office

Good guy and was fairly intense during his workouts as well.

A few hand shakes at the Arnold over the last 20 years. But a few years ago on the Sunday of the Arnold Weekend we were at the Easton Town Center in Columbus and he came walking out of a girls clothing store with a couple young girls(assuming his daughters) and some poor schmuck carrying a ton of bags. There was security about every 20 foot with in 200 foot circumference of him. He seen my buddy wearing his Arnold Classic Tee Shirt from Saturday then walked up to us shook our hands and asked if we had fun at the Classic. we chatted for 30 seconds then he was whisked off by security.

My wife came out of the store she was in and told us the lady in there told her she heard Arnold was at the mall. We both laughed and said yep he is and he just shook our hands. My wife called bullshit til someone else came by who had seen it and said that was pretty cool meeting Arnold huh?

Was kind of a cool thing, but I don't get start struck like some people do!

Arnold used to host a cigar night once a month when he was in town at his restaurant, Schatzi's on Main in Venice/Santa Monica where you could meet him and hang out, but it cost like $135 bucks a person or something. I didn't have the scratch to pony up for the cigar night meal deal, but I knew you could just go hang out at the bar for free and it spilled into the bar after the meal. So I went there with a friend and hung out. Artie Zeller was there telling his jokes like he always apparently did. Toward the time Arnold was leaving he walked right by me and my friend and turned and shook our hands and said warmly "okay, I'll see you guys later" like he knew us. I was like "okay, see you later." The rest of the hangers on who were similarly exploiting the loophole turned and looked at me like somehow I personally knew Arnold. I found it pretty funny.

Artie Zeller's two jokes that I can remember: One Q: what tastes good on pie but not on pussy? A: crust. Two, Q: the eagle is the bird of freedom, the dove is the bird of peace, but what is the bird of love? A: the swallow.
Yuk yuk yuk.
