I just filmed with my childhood hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger and I produce the #1 Online Cooking Show EpicMealTime… Ask Me Anything!!

1. Have you ever made schnitzel the centerpiece of an Epic Meal Time?
2. Why not?

1. We have never made schnitzel the centerpiece of an EpicMeal.
2. We saved that one for you and we're going to cook it with whoever wins by buying themselves something at http://www.omaze.com/Epic

And now I'm kind of glad that we never made schnitzel yet!

You better not let me down. What was your favorite part of our shoot?

I'll tell you mine - your outrageous sense of humor. It's hard to make me laugh, but you improvise well and come up with absolutely insane lines. When you asked me to kick your ass I almost lost it. I always tell my team "Improvisation is the art of fieldwork" so you and the whole Epic Meal Time gang were great to film with.

That means a lot to me. It is a huge milestone of my life. Thank you for commending my improv skills. I should thank Riverdale High School for providing me with an after school improv group. My favorite parts of all EMT shoots are the little subtle ones. For example, when you raise the bun and say 'Go on! Take it!' and when you say with a mouthful of protein 'get me a coffee and then I'll beat your ass'. We replayed this video 1000 times before we uploaded it!

holy schnit i hope i get it

This comment made me laugh.

Because you laughed I made myself laugh because if you're doing it then it's the right thing to do.

Mr Schwarzenegger, you are my bodybuilding idol and my friends and I have seen pretty much every one of your films...

...but I cannot express how disappointed I am that both you and Epic Meal Time chose to make a sandwich and not call it "The Arnie Sarnie".

We still have another vid to do...plus I thought the Steak N Egger was pretty clever.

Who would you most like to eat bacon off of?

Hi Katie! Thanks for coming! I'd say Betty White. Slowly eat bacon off of her at first....but then harder and faster all night long.

Well here's a first maybe? It's my AMA and I have a question for /u/GovSchwarzenegger What do you want to eat on the next EMT we film together, sir?

Easy. Kaiserschmarrn.

Just googled it. Sounds like it was made to be paired with Candy Bacon!

After making that video with Arnold, have you started lifting more?

No...but I flex my bicep and look down at it while frowning a lot more.

That just a typical week for me.

That's just a typical weak.

Whats the reason you had to fire your friends? And how did you go about doing that? D:

I've been in the horribly awkward scenario of presenting my friend's employee contracts. I've given my lazy friends performance reports. I've given my friends an offer that they haven't deemed adequate and have left and been bitter about it. I always go about it wearing my work hat, which is hard if they have their friend hat on still. At the same time though, I've taught a number of friends how to film, edit and produce content. It's cool to pass along skills and encourage. It's also a bummer when the 'real world' aspect of life kicks in. It's best when people I work with realize that this isn't all fun. It's a business and we can have fun in that business. But if we want to have fun, we have to run a business.

If you could get anyone to guest star on EMT who would you have?

The President of The United States of America and his family.

Hey Harley, how can I convince my parents that cooking bacon in the microwave is inferior?

Blind taste test. 2-for-1 special. Subdue your father. Blindfold him and conduct the taste test. Now you've demonstrated your point and also let him know that you are the Alpha of the family now.

What happened to Muscles Glasses?

Did you guys get used to all that Fat and Alcohol?

How long are the hangovers after filming and Episode?

1. MusclesGlasses quit to do something that involves infinitely less bacon.
2. We got fatter and we like all of our drinks straight now. Does that answer the question?
3. We film during the day, so the hangover is just a pre-sleep headache.

are the videos bleeped to be more mainstream or because you think it's funnier?

The bleep was to be mainstream, then we found it funny. Now it's tradition.

Have any PETA-like organizations tried to shut you down? If so, how did it go?

No. They know not to fuck around.

Hi Harley, You used to work at my summer camp when I was young. You brought pizza to my cabin and I just wanted to thank you :)

Cool! Which camp? Why did I do that?

How much bacon do you eat every day when you aren't filming for EMT?
Also, how did you meet the artist we all know and love as Deadmau5?

I eat bacon for breakfast almost everyday. I eat bacon for lunch about 30% of the time. Bacon rarely appears at my dinners but when he does....it's a big deal. Like a slab of uncured bacon on a bun....delicious.

If we met. Could we rub beards?

Yes. But too sudden of a move and we end up fighting.

What is your favorite Schwarzenegger film?

My favorite Arnold movie is Terminator 2. My favorite Arnold comedy is Kindergarten Cop. My favorite Arnold movie for laughing is Commando (even though it's not comedy) My most watched Arnold movie is Pumping Iron (I watch it Once a Month) My favorite holiday movie from Arnold is Conan The Barbarian (I know it's not a holiday movie, but I always watch it on the holidays).

Is your doctor a fan of EMT?

I don't even see him. We don't want to look at each other.

If you could have any professional wrestler from the past or present on your show right now who would you want and why? And how was it driving in a tank with THE Arnold Schwarzenegger?

It was surreal because here I am in this tank and Arnold Schwarzenegger is driving and I couldn't help but notice how my hair is so long it's in a ponytail for the first time in my life...which doesn't sound like a big deal but to me it was weird because in my head I'm thinking "I'm in a tank that Arnold Schwarzenegger is driving...and my hair is in a ponytail....who am I?"

Oh...also Goldust.

So what is your all time favorite flavor/brand of bacon?

Hormel Black Label Bacon. Their Jalapeno Bacon is actually spicy and tasty. Their Cherrywood Bacon is probably the best bacon you can get at your local supermarket. Their thick cut is ridiculously prime. Their ready made bacon is awesome and you can eat it right out of the package. I think my favorite part of Black Label Bacon is they don't look at bacon as a gimmick that is bacon mouthwash or toothpaste. Bacon is meat. The best meat.

Why did you grow a beard the size of the rest of your body? It's sweet as fuck, but I wonder why.

It was initially the physical manifestation of my laziness and coincidentally enough I found myself at the forefront of this Beard Movement. I never though much of it. I just did it because I though it was badass yo! Now I have a responsibility. I just wanted to grow a beard and now I'm part of this culture and the weight of duty hangs from my face like a constant reminder.

Ok, how much does a "Youtuber" make?

1 million dollars.

What's that in Youtube money?

a dozen bitcoins or so

Best tasting thing you've ever made on EMT?

We made our own McRib...It wasn't an Epic Meal...it was a Handle-It (where we show people how to make realistic meals) and we taught how to make a mcrib and it was incredible!!!

Hey Harley, big fan. I've been following y'all since Tequilla Taco Night and I must say I'm really impressed with how much EMT grew over the years. Great job!

Question 1: What's your favorite luxury you've been able to indulge in since making it big on YouTube?

Question 2: Your one liners always crack me up in episodes, are they most often improvised or written in advance? If written, how does that process work? Is it just you at a computer, or is the whole team involved?

Thanks, keep up the good work!

Question 1: I can finally afford a gaming PC Question 2: My one liners used to be written by me entirely. There was a short stint where Tyler would write the overall theme of the episode but even then he didn't write my dialogue or VOs. Now with all the other projects, I need support. I collaborate on the writing with @RobFee on Twiiter or @Hadzilla on Twitter. My buddy @Marlowned wrote a bunch for the latest Arnold video.

I just wanted to stop by and say the last two episodes were a-ma-zing.

I love that you did an episode with the Trailer Park Boys, have you ever considered collaborating with Deaner and Terry from Fubar? That would be my drunk Canadian trifecta.

That would be hilarious!! Canada is hilarious. I would love Rob Ford on an episode.

What happened to GabeN's AMA? Also, nice beard!

Gaben? He's here on Reddit today?!! I'm fucking excited for that AMA!!!! I want him on EpicMealTime so bad.

A long time ago, I heard that you guys finished all your meals. Do you still manage to eat all of it?

No. Our meals are way too large now. We have given leftovers to soup kitchens many times. We also will slice up the not contaminated parts and refrigerate them for future consumption. Sometimes we find ourselves sharing a house for a while and it's not uncommon to have meat and whatnot leftover from previous Epic Meals. Sometimes the meal is just not salvageable.

How was it being on the show with snoop dogg? And are you going to bring him in?

Do you smoke?

And finally. If you could pick any place in the world, where would you make the epic meal time show?

Snoop is awesome! I would love to. ... We want to go to Africa and feed a village but that's a pipedream. There's so many things that could be taken as politically incorrect or offensive when all we want to do is go down and make something special. We don't even have to film it. We are involved in charities but to go there in person would be hopefully inspiring to our fanbase and maybe mobilize people. But we don't always make the best spokespersons and there's so much room for misinterpretations.

What's up Harley?

not much. How about you?

When are we going to hang out and play video games?

Halo or Battlefield?

Do people often point out to you that the content/funniness of EMT has dropped off in the past year? How do you respond to the haters? When y'all cook with celebrities, do they reach out to you, or is it the other way around? I really enjoy your channel!

People always point that out. They've actually been doing it since episode 3. It must have been not even our tenth episode (we're on 250 now) that people claimed we jumped the shark and we're done now. I decided long ago that we make the show with what we find funny and we still find it funny. That being said....when it's a bad episode, we know it. We still upload it though because we have a commitment and those things could push us harder. We've had celebrities like Deadmau5 and Simon Cowell reach out to us. But then it's me reaching out to Rob Van Damme.

How often do people ask to touch your beard, and how often do you use it to pick-up women?

It's usually a younger boy or girl that is bold enough to ask to touch the beard which is strange. I don't want to tell the kid no, but I also don't want a kid touching me. I don't use the beard to pick-up women. It does it itself... let me explain: If you normally attract a certain type of girl, when you grow a large beard...a whole new type comes out of the woodwork and starts being interested. I assume this could be the same with tattoos and piercings.

Are there any sneak peaks you can give us for VGHS season 3? :D

Yes. I'm not in the 1st episode. I know this because I read that script and my name wasn't there. Also, there will be guns.

pussy or bacon?

A pig's pussy.

A-WHATUP HARLEY! I love you and your beard! Seriously though, what was your favorite epic meal.. to eat or make? And also, I got a &baconstrip shirt so that I could give you some YOUTUBE MONEY!

I appreciate the support. 84 Egg Sandwich!!!

What would you tell a new youtuber, to help them keep doing what they're doing and be better at it?

That's a case by case. Now I'm 28 years old, so I am not the demo of a lot of YouTubers out there. But put a link up and I'll give you straight forward criticism. But keep in mind I may not be your demo.

What do you normally feel like after eating one of those epic meals?

95% of the time I feel bad. I mean it's not so much the food itself but when we eat on camera there's a lot of pageantry when consuming. Before you know it you ate 3 burgers in 15 seconds.

Who is one celebrity you would have a smoke session with? You are a stoner model man. You make the dankest munchies for a living. Much love for you man. Keep doing what you're doing. Also, /r/trees loves you.

I love /r/trees... Bill Murray please.

There is a set of coordinates in your Twitter profile description for a location in Montreal, which I presume is Epic Meal Time HQ. What would happen if someone were to hypothetically show up unannounced at this location?

It's a random place!! I don't know where the heck that is. It's close to my house but not that close. It's weird.

Long time EMT fan! At what point did you guys realise you were "making it" and could quit your "normal" jobs and spend time having fun eating bacon?

I quit before I 'made it'. But only last year was I able to hire my buddies and have them quit their jobs.

What do you do on days you aren't filming?

play videogames and jerk off.

So when are you going to film with The Lonely Island and Jenna Marbles and make a millionaires of YouTube themed episode?

I'm assuming you all live in LA now, so its gotta be plausible right?

I'm not a millionaire. There's a huge difference between owning something and cash in your pocket. That being said...I'm ready whenever they call.

How come there are never any black people on EMT?

Muscles Glasses on Halloween.

yup^!

I loved your How To Shave Your Beard Like A Man vine.

• How old were you when you grew your beard? / How long have you had your beard?
• What prompted you to grow the beard?
• Do you feel that people treat you differently because of your beard?

I'm genuinely curious. After a long life of being pristinely unbearded, I stopped shaving over a year ago. It feels to me as if people have treated me differently now that I am gloriously bearded.

Not trying to say some goofy cliche thing here but no joke...a beard is respected.

What WWE Legend would you like to have join you on Epic Meal Time?

Goldust.

Whats your favorite kinda beer?

I like Canadian Beers. But I'm in LA now so I get Bud Light Platinum. 6.1% Awhattup!!

Hello there great Sauce Boss! Have some questions for you:
1. Do you have a girlfriend?
2. Where do you like to dripp that sauce of yours after you are done stuffing the love taco with your sausage?
3. How much have you gained in weight since the start of EMT?
4. Are you thinking of starting to cut soon after this hell of a bulk you have accomplished?
5. just kidding, cutting is for pussies.
Have a good one, cheers!

1. Yes. She's hot. Go tweet her @TheKylaLeon
2. My bellybutton
3. I've gone up and down 20lbs
4. I don't cut.
5. HAHA!! THE HUMOR!!! I appreciate you brotha!

What is the next step for Epic Meal Time? I remember talks about you creating a TV show.

We are making a TV show now for A&E!!!

Do you prefer "doe", "tho", "though" or "dough"?

Should I draft Chris Davis, Ryan Braun or Adam Jones in the first round of my fantasy baseball draft this week?

How much do white girls like nutella?

BTW PKA 122 with Epic Meal Time last year was the GOAT.

I prefer 'though' You're insane. You shouldn't pick any of those players. (Chris Davis though if you have no choice) They like nutella HELLA Thank you!!!

Yo Sauce Boss, Can I work for you? ;D

What are your skills?

What's your opinion on bacon?

Not enough.

Hey Harley, would you ever go back on Painkiller Already, you were awesome!

Tell Woody to put me on!

From a fellow beard lover, how do you take care of yours?

Touch it non-stop. I'm a pretty abusive beard owner. I constantly touch it and pull it and fuck it.
