![]() ![]() And we, naturally, were driving around DC in a van. Apparently they had pulled off a miracle and flipped the entire production in half an hour because Jim decided not to move the cars, and now they were looking for their actors. Well, before we could even get to the Capitol, we heard a commotion on the walkie-talkie in the car. I grabbed a van from the transportation guys and Tom and I took off for the Capitol across town thinking I’d show Tom some of my favorite memorials on the way. I knew Tom was from a small town in Iowa and had never seen the inside of the Capitol Building, so I thought I would show him around. But I heard the crew tell Jim resetting the lights and moving the cars would take 2 and a half hours, so I thought we had at least an hour for some sightseeing. That’s one of the many reasons I say I am not self-made. ![]() And they have spent hours parking the cars along the street to look perfect on screen. This might not seem like a big deal, but on a movie set, by the time I walk out to do my scene, the hundreds of crew members have spent hours rigging lights and cameras to make sure it looks perfect on the screen. Even to this day Tom helps me at my charity events with After School All Stars, the nationwide after-school program I started 30 years ago which has spread like wildfire around the United States, or the Hollenbeck Center in East LA, one of the greatest community centers in Los Angeles, where we give away turkeys at Thanksgiving and toys at Christmas.Īnyway, one day Tom and I were filming True Lies in Washington DC, and Jim Cameron decided that he wanted to move the shot they set up on the street in Georgetown to the opposite corner. He is a wacky guy, and he is also one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. Most of you may know my True Lies costar Tom Arnold. But when my team and I were working on last month’s newsletter, I told them a story that I said I would save for this month. I totally forgot my lines and stood there like a statue. Last month I gave you my favorite on-set story of the time when Danny DeVito put marijuana in my cigar. We are going to conquer the month together, whether it is doing a few pushups in the morning, or setting a new personal record in the gym. Maybe you went for a walk - count the win and record it! By the end of the month, you’ll see that the little victories built a foundation for bigger wins. So this month, I want you to focus on writing down a win you had every single day, no matter how small. I am guilty of it, and you are probably guilty of it. Think about it this way: When you conquer a workout, do you celebrate yourself as much as you beat yourself up when you miss the gym or eat something you shouldn’t? We all have a tendency to be harder on ourselves than we would be to our friends. Don’t beat yourself up over something like eating a tasty treat. As I told a friend on reddit, we all go through challenges and we all go through failure, but the key thing is you get up and take it one step at a time. You never want to get caught up in being hard on yourself. ![]() Now, that doesn’t mean I haven’t had an extra pastry with Lulu, but I don’t want to be too hard on myself. I've been going on my daily bike rides, getting a pump at Gold’s Gym, preparing for the Austrian World Summit in July, and mostly staying on track with my daily routine. The weather has been beautiful in Los Angeles. The entire environmental conference will be broadcast on my Facebook page, so mark your calendars! Here is the Facebook event page so you don't forget. I also want all of you to tune in on July 1st to the Austrian World Summit. I sometimes play around and design different t-shirts, and then I go to the gym and sometimes people ask, “Where do I get this?” It started with my “Come with me if you want to lift shirt.” Just recently we came up with one with Conan lifting a barbell with skulls and it says “Bar-Barian.” You never know what design is going to be a hit, but this one was, so I decided to make it for all of my fans. You can argue about other things, but you have to present a united front for the children. We talked about my strict style, and we also discussed the importance of both parents being on the same page when it comes to raising the kids. My daughter, Katherine, asked me to join her for her Instagram show about parenting, and I think you’ll love our conversation. I hope your kids gave you the celebration you deserve! First of all, happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. ![]()
