  Speaker 1: long time since we we saw each other.

  Speaker 2: funny because we were just talking off air that the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: last time we saw each other, you referenced something that
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you said was 25 years ago. I go, that's impossible
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: because if I was still on Saved by the Bell
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and you were still on Baywatch, that must have been
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: at least something like 30, 35 years. Oh, I'm not
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: even going to say that out loud. That's making us
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: sound like ancient.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's like 34. You have to make us feel so old. No, no, no.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're hanging in there though.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We are hanging in there, I gotta tell you. We

• 0:43
  Speaker 1: working out and everything. I see you're keeping up with everything.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It's great. Trying.
• 0:46

• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in a second, but congrats. You're on the new season
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of Fox's Special Forces World's Toughest Test. First of all,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: were you a fan of this show already? How were
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you approached by it?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they asked me to do the show, and I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: had not ever seen the show ever. And then I
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: spoke to uh, Brody Jenner, who did the season a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And I asked him, I said, Hey,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: what do you think? He's like, dude, this is right
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: up your alley. You got to go for it. You
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: got to do it. Um, so I, um, I kinda,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I did it. I did for a couple of reasons, but, um,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I love anything that takes you out of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: your comfort zone, you know, uh, makes you kind of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: have to prove yourself a little bit and see if
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you can handle it mentally and physically. I mean, listen,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we're getting up there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And, you know, we had to compete against these young bucks. So,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you know, we want to see if we still have it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We got to show them what's up. Exactly.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: What was the most difficult thing you've done so far?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Besides jumping out of a helicopter backwards and being in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a tear gas room where you can't breathe and you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: can't see, the fighting was pretty fun. Um, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: we got a chance to fight, um, you know, you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: never know what could happen there. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Um, you know, like boxing, grappling, what?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Boxing. Oh, nice. Oh yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: The other, the other contestants.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, I had a fight. I had a fight, uh,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Oliver Hudson.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, great. Can you say how that went?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Can you say how that went?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I knew you were going to love
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the boxing part. So Oliver and I are, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: great guy. He's an actor.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good guy.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He's a good guy. And he said to me, he goes, listen, bro,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I got a movie in two weeks. So if you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: could avoid hitting me in the face, I would appreciate it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, sure, no problem. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: if we box together, that's what we'll do. And sure enough,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they picked us. And the guy, the first hit, He
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: smacks me in the face. I was like, oh, shit,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's on now. It's on. And then I just, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: we just, you know. It's very strange because, listen, boxing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is one thing, and you know it very well. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: when it comes to, you know, fighting, because they're telling
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you you got to beat the shit out of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: guy in front of you. Yeah. And it's him or you.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It turns on a different button, you know. And the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: problem was that I wasn't hearing anything. what the DS
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: was telling me. Cause they told me to stop when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I was, when I got them on the floor and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I kept going and, and I couldn't hear them say stop.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So they finally had to pull me off them. Oh,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that's great.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's a, you always keep going until the ref gets you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: That's it, man. That's great, man. I'll have to check
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that out. Um, and it's episode three, if you want
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to check it out. Okay. Okay. I will.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Um, fitness has always been a, I know a priority
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and you actually co-founded a gym, uh, not far from
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: here in studio city with your son.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. I started, I started a fitness brand about
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: three and a half years ago called burn Los Angeles.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: The worst thing you could possibly have when the fires came. Um,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: But it's called Burn in Los Angeles, and it's LED
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: red light, infrared heat, 105 degree room. Oh, I love that. Weightlifting.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to get you to come to this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I actually called your publicist. I said, get Mario in here.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He's going to love it. I will.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I will check it out. You know what's funny is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: one of my biggest pet peeves is a cold gym.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I hate a cold gym.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, this is 105 degrees. You walk in, in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: five minutes, you're warmed up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We're not pulling any muscles or anything like that. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Burn was open for three and a half years. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: then I said, you know, I want to do something
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that's closer to what I love to do, which is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: heavier weight. And so we built another gym next door
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: called Build, no pun intended. And it's 10 benches. You
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have a private trainer and you're lifting heavier weight. traditional
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: weight training and it's blown up and you know i
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: would love for you to come and try it with
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: us you know my son and i work out every
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: day together.

• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's been an incredible opportunity to work with my son.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I was one of those dads. It doesn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: get better. You know, I kind of stopped, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Hollywood and, you know, to raise my children. You know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to go out of town. I didn't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: want to go and do films and do things. Back then,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it was all Canada and filming elsewhere. And L.A. wasn't prominent.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And so I said, you know what, I'm going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: hang up. you know, everything and kind of raise my children.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And so this is the first time that my kids
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have actually seen me on television.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great. Well, you made a smart choice because
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: fatherhood's obviously the best role a man can take. And ironically,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it's got even worse, as I'm sure you know, more
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: filming outside. No one's filming here in L.A.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Anymore.
• 5:58

• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in January. Any chance you might make a little cameo?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Have they talked about that?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had a couple of the producers reach out
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to me. And listen, I'm always interested in doing something
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that has real content and that has a real substance
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and a real purpose. And I told them, I said, listen,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to look at scripts if you guys want
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: me to look at them. But I'm not going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: go in and just say hi and, you know. Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's got to be something that has some
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: type of substantial, you know, something.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a little meat to it. Exactly.
• 6:34
