Arnold Schwarzenegger

I was 21 years old. I'm this new sensation. You know, this farm boy from Austria. Let's call him the Austrian Oak to create a little bit of drama type of thing. But then Franco was a little guy. but powerful and just thick. And so I had to convince Joe Weider, I said, you got to bring over Franco too. We're a perfect team. It was like the original twins type of thing, right?

And so Franco, Joe Weider would always say, nah, he's a little guy, come on. Why do you want to bring him over? We have so many little guys around here, you know. This is the way he talked, you know, with his Canadian Jewish accent. And so I said, no, you've got to bring Franco over. He's like, there's no one here in America, I can guarantee you, that's like Franco. I said, he can outlift anybody.

He can outpose anyone. And he's going to win Mr. Universe, I guarantee you, that he's on his way to win everything. And then Joe Vita eventually brought him over. And so Franco and I, we then continued training together here. And within one year of being here, he won the Mr. Universe contest in the amateur category.

The year after that, he won the Mr. Universe professional, then Mr. World, eventually Mr. Olympia and all that stuff. And Franco was the kind of a guy that... Because there was no money in bodybuilding. Yeah. So Frank and I, we were just saying, hey, we're from Europe. We're not one of those lazy fucks that just want to hang around and do nothing.

I said, let's get our act together and just let's educate ourselves. Let's go to college, educate ourselves. So Frank loved, of course, chiropractic and medical stuff. So he went to chiropractic college. I went to study business. And on the side, we started working. And Franco, of course, was a bricklayer and a masonry worker and cement worker and stone worker from Italy.

So I said, Franco, we should start a business here. And then, of course, we put an ad in the LA Times, Italian and European masonry work experts and all of this shit. I didn't know anything about masonry work. So we put the ad in. The next day after the ad came out, we had the earthquake in Los Angeles. I mean, can you think about that?

And then, all of a sudden, everyone called us, and they said, oh my God, you gotta come over, you gotta rebuild our chimney, you gotta rebuild our patio, the patio has a big crack here, the wall has a big crack, the wall around the house fell down, and blah, blah, blah. So Franco and I, we were doing bits left and right, and going around.
