| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club. |
| 0:04.3 | Last week I had a break from filming football after more than four months. |

| 1:28.6 | want to think ahead and solve all your problems and the world's problems too. It might be natural but you must |
| 1:34.9 | resist that temptation. You just have to train yourself. When it starts wandering |
