Cuz that's someone you were raised on. >> Dude, I legit like I don't remember part of my childhood, a part of my life where I didn't have Hulk Hogan in it somewhere. Like that's crazy.
0:51 >> Yeah. Genuinely, >> it's very rare that someone becomes synonymous with like an entire, you know, like Hulk Hogan transcended out of wrestling into just like a household name. >> He was like doing kids movies around the time that I was like that age. >> Suburban Commando. >> Yeah. Suburban Commando with Chris Lloyd and stuff. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, yeah. >> It was crazy to think like even if you weren't a fan of wrestling, at least in the ' 90s, you still knew completely who he was. >> Everybody knew Hulk Hogan. >> He was kind of like the rock of of that era, I think. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Oh, absolutely.

Dude, >> have you seen Commando? >> I don't think I have. The only movie I can think of with Hulk Hogan was the three ninjas and the >> I knew the Mega Mountain Mega Mountain. That's >> Wait, he was in Three Ninjas. >> Yeah, he was like the third one. Yeah. >> Oh, and he was like the hero there. And he's ripping a shirt off. That's his iconic move. I like how they kept swapping the boys out cuz you could tell that any kid who wanted more money, they're just like, "Nah, we're just going to replace you with a kid who looks like >> Yeah, you got too good. >> Yeah, we don't give a ████ kid. >> They replaced TomTom." >> Welcome to show business.

But the kid who played
2:31 Colt, you could tell he's just like, "I need the money, baby. I need those checks."

I see Steve Trott in like random movies. >> Yeah. >> I saw him in the one with the Jesse Eisenberg where he's like the foot fist way whatever and I'm like dude that's Steve Tarata. >> He just got bit by a dog. >> Did you guys remember when they swapped the mom for uh Fresh Prince? >> Yeah. >> I didn't remember. >> You didn't remember? >> No. As an adult jokes about it on on >> but as at that age >> I don't think I paid attention. >> Yeah, >> dude. That's the most Joe thing ever. He's like did you guys see the new Superman movie? And we're like we're like yeah. He's like, "I didn't see this." >> You know what's interesting, too, about Hulk Hogan? I used to always think of him as like a I don't know if this is was just like a '9s or '8s thing, but like dudes weren't expected to have hair
3:23 to be ████ famous and be stars. >> I missed my window. Boy, >> you ever noticed that? Like, like >> he had the bald and then the long >> on the sides, >> but like I feel like you couldn't today. Like, you can't really do >> if he threw a bandana on it cuz that was his other signature, right? He did the bandanna with a little >> mustache. >> Yeah. People could look like Leonitis and still be cool. >> Yeah. When you look back at the 90s, if you look back at the 80s and 90s, a lot of people just looked like that. >> This was a style. >> Yeah. There was no pressure to like, oh, we wear a hairpiece. >> The way that his ball had a bald head with like the blonde around it >> with like an underwater sea creature around his head. >> So, >> I just remember that Hulk Hogan had a bunch of sex tapes, too. Remember? >> He did. He took down one of the most prolific websites. >> Bubba the Love Sponge. Remember that? >> Bubba the Love Sponge. >> Oh, that's the friend, right?

Hulk Hogan was found on his wife. >> Come on, brother. >> Yeah, exactly. >> He sold it. >> And his friend filmed it. >> Well, did they go to Gawker? I feel like it went to Gawker. I think it went to They got a deal. >> Yeah, it was a website called Gawker and I think that's where that video was released on. Yep. >> And then like the whatever lawsuit that Hulk Hogan won against them took that website completely down, dude. >> He won them the he won like a $100 million, something like that. >> Worth it. >> The um >> that era WWF era wrestlers. >> So we we uh we met a dude who was like >> well we we actually had him in a couple videos.

Well, anyways, he would >> do much of it with Mark. >> He He said like they would tour these guys would tour and not like not like Carney style, but like kind of like what you showed us, right? But they would be on TV, but they would also tour like live. And then when they do it live, he said that like the women wrestlers, the guys, they would just be ████ all day. So they'll be doing the show, >> the women wrestlers, >> everybody. It's an orgy. It's a ████ orgy. >> Not the guy to guy, but like you know, they're ████ fans and everything, right? >> But he's like every ████ day it's like you do a show and then like you're ████ you're going to the orgy and then you're just lifting weights and then he goes you sleep at 3 hours. And
5:53 I'm like you guys sound like you were just on Coke all day. Like a lot of them were, right? >> They're probably just coked up. How could you do that job without being coked up? >> Dude, one of my favorite clips is uh remember Triple H? >> He was like before he was with Stephanie McMahon or whatever. He I I just I'll never forget this clip. It was the coolest thing I ever saw as a kid. He like looks at this lady in the crowd and she has big tits and he's like, "Hey, take him out."

Like when you go to the >> than the the taping? >> No doubt. >> They used to do wild stuff and then they would have to go over it again cuz they're like, "No, we can't have that."
6:43 >> Dude, wrestling live is so much better than TV. It is like that. >> You went to WWE? I didn't see a WWE one, but we saw we saw the Lucha Libre in Mexico City, >> and that was my first wrestling show I seen in person. And as a kid, I used to watch it on TV all the time. But as soon as you're sitting there as an adult watching that, you realize like, "Oh, this is the best part about it is you just yelling at everybody in the stands and you're like, "Oh, this is why this ████ is dope." So, you take that on the actual WWE scale and all my buddies that actually took their wives that don't watch it, >> their wives get into it. They love it. So, it's like, oh, it's just part of like, yo, ████ this guy. It's just fun, dude. >> So much fun, man. >> As soon as you throw your tits out. >> Li one, I think you're going to really like, but one of the wrestlers, >> um, he was gay and he was fighting. >> That's the best dude, bro.

And then he could uh break down our business. >> Probably had a pretty cool life after the lawsuit went through, right? >> I'm sure he was he he he was >> stacked, right? >> Stacked, man. >> Yeah, cuz he always had money, right? Yeah. But then did his I
10:06 >> his son got in a got I think killed somebody in a car accident on accident one of those man involuntary manslaughter things. Yeah. And then um so I think that was a bad moment, right? And then him and his ex-wife had a huge divorce thing go on. So I think he lost a lot of money from that and then he won the Gawker lawsuit which kind of brought him back. >> That was insane. Thank God. >> Thank God he had sex with his friend's wife, you know. >> I know. Legit. >> I used to see his son a lot like almost every week. Nick Hogan >> because he was um he he was one of the uh one of the earlier people to get like a Nissan GTR like uh Japan spec into the states >> and he would bring it to Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills every week and um and yeah, he was he had his own auto shop just for him and his friends. >> What? >> Yeah, it was like it looked like a real like like shop, but you couldn't be a customer.

They're like doing a promo like a wrestling promo but for karaoke nights. >> We're gonna start our day with a little journey, brother. >> I don't know if he sings, but he's definitely promoing it. >> Remember when Brook Hogan was trying to sing or like had like a >> I remember they had a bunch of reality >> contract and like Yeah, he was trying to
11:46 be like an artist >> if if he sung karaoke, what would his main thing be? Would it be like a journey song or something? Honestly, his theme song Real American Real American as just as a song straight up, not as an entrance theme. That's one of the best songs in history, bro, >> dude. But but if imagine just like right now the lights flicker and you hear it's like I am a real and we're all like >> and the lights start going uh orange and yellow. Come on. >> You get hyped immediately. >> He has the he he would always wear like what do he wear around his neck? Yeah. walking down. Dude, that's nothing's better than that. >> I see him more of a Whitney Houston kind of singer. >> He's like, >> you think he's singing? You think he got piped for that? >> Is hella off? >> No. No. I I think I think I think there's a soft side when he does karaoke and it's the polar opposite. Yeah, I
12:36 think he does. Yeah. >> What did you think of Hollywood Hogan? >> I I saw his face. >> Look, I wasn't watching then, but I heard about it obviously cuz it's massive in pop culture. But you'll just never beat the yellow. And the >> Was that the nWo? You don't like the N? >> What's What's Hollywood Hulk? >> I just wasn't into it then. I was I was out. >> I was chasing girls. You know what I mean? >> Come on, dude. You can still like Hulk Hogan and chase girls. >> I know, but I didn't think of it like that. I was one or the other. >> I was trying to be too cool for school. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I don't watch that wrestling stuff. I know it's fake. Like stuff like that. >> If you're dating somebody, you don't want them to know you watch pro wrestling. >> No. No. No. Absolutely. Not back then. Not back then, >> especially because back then they were so like I feel like nowadays they're more uh >> like they have a separate real life and it's open. But then back then they lived that character like so strictly, right?
13:26 >> They like you couldn't catch them doing normal >> like Taker dude he wouldn't even break like like apparently every he would never even do an interview until he just retired >> unless it was with Mean Jean. >> When did you guys stop? Because for me it was WWF, right? And then my my cousin actually ruined it for me and he goes like, "You got you want to see some real fighting?" And he showed me Bruce Lee. And I was like, "Wow, kung fu is the real fighting." And then I stopped watching >> like, "Wow, he's really hurting all of his stunt men. >> He's really kicking those guys. >> Holy ████ Kick that guy in a bunch of boxes >> in martial arts." And I and then I got really into like the the karate stuff. And I was and I thought that was real. And I was out to expose the fakeness of wrestling. Well, you know what kills it all the time for most stuff in general is that like you meet another person
14:16 that's really into it >> and he's just the ████ dorkiest >> Oh, like they're into wrestling. >> I liked it. And then I I met a dude in my school that was like >> it was such a mega dork and I was just like I don't want to like the same ████ as it >> that's all that's all it takes. >> You're like I'm going to be this guy. >> Yeah. Because that guy keeps coming up to you talking about the thing and you're like oh ████ man. Dude, you're weird. >> People think I'm friends with him. Yeah, because like if someone's weird and they just keep talking in front of everybody that it's about a common interest you definitely have, you can have them. >> Dude, that's what got me out of Pokemon cards. It was instantaneous. It was literally just like it was literally instantaneous. I had one of those binders and I brought it to school and I was so proud of my Pokemon card collection, right? And then this girl looked at me and she goes, "Steve, you're into Pokemon cards." That was it. I was out. I I heard >> chucks the book behind him. No.
15:06 >> I I felt disgusting. these Pokémon cards on here. Oh, it's not mine. >> I feel like I had to take a shower. I was like, "No, no, not." I was like, "No, not really. This is my younger brother's stuff." >> What grade were you in? >> I was in probably sixth grade or >> Dude, that's where it hits. That's when you're starting to kind of like get away from this stuff. >> That's true. Middle school is when you're like, I'm not a kid anymore, but you kind of still like kids ████ you know? >> You're still sneak action figures. >> That's what I mean. You go you and you assertively say like the dumbest ████ Like, I don't watch that wrestling stuff. I know it's fake. like like you're so smart, you have it all figured out >> cuz you're a teenager now. >> It's really It's difficult though because like you get used to liking something and you forget that it looks different to someone else completely. >> Like we did that when uh like during the party rock parties, me and Eris went to the studio to watch anime, just us two. And then this one girl came in cuz she was looking for us and she goes she
15:56 goes, "You guys are into that?" And it felt like someone was calling me a pedophile. >> It was like you're watching porn. I was like, >> "Why are you sick? >> I'd rather catch you watch porn." >> That's because you guys were holding hands as you were crying around the waist. >> Cuz there's a whole party going on outside and me and him were just watching on a computer just like this. >> Dude, what? During a party's wild. >> And to make it worse, we were watching we were watching an anime called Ruby, which is like independently made out of like one guy's CGI skill. And it's even more nerdier. And she was just like so confused. Like >> there's girls out there, you know? >> Yeah. Cuz you remember that in someone else's world, that's not even a considerable option for a guy. >> Well, just thinking about that girl, for some reason, she thinks I'm too cool for Pokemon cards. And now I'm like, wait, what? Oh yeah, of course I am. >> You think that highly of me? >> Yeah, exactly. When we tossed it, did you like cringe
16:47 inside? You're like, "Oh god, >> so much money." >> She was like deep down inside. >> Yeah. Hope they didn't bend. >> What if she was into it, too? So she was surprised. Oh, she she was like, "You're in a Pokemon cartoon. You didn't let her finish." >> And then Steve's like, "Wait, no." And she goes, "Oh, >> I was going to show you my collection." >> Yeah. No, but that s███'s pretty nerdy. Yeah. I think >> Pokemon cards. >> Pokemon cards. Yu-Gi-Oh. I remember. >> Yeah. I was big nerd. >> I was big ass nerd at Yu-Gi-Oh, too. But at sixth grade, it just hit for some reason. I was like, "F███ all this ████ I'm going to just pack them up." And I started selling it at kids. >> I packed it up. >> You know what made it cool, though? is um there's that phase junior high, but this ████ >> I think high school when you saw people that were cool that were like unapologetic about it. They were just like I remember dudes would be smoking cigarettes and playing Magic cards out
17:39 in the open. >> That's a trip. >> They're like hella gangster. And then they they would get into fist fights over Magic cards and ████ and I'm like whoa. So they can do it but they like occasionally visit like the math club and like battle them out. So I was like, "Were they Asians?" That's different. >> Cuz Eddie got me into it. Your buddy >> Asians are different. And if you just go steal a pack of cigarettes from like the store or some ████ and then we're just smoking cigarettes while we're playing Magic cards. >> See, that's kind of fun. >> That's actually sick. >> And getting a fight be like, "You don't have enough mana, dude. You don't have enough mana." >> You smoking cigarettes almost anything is cool. >> I just bought a deck of Magic cards the other day. >> Did you? >> I ordered on Amazon. 100 cards. >> Did you get the Black Orchid? No, I only got it because they they recently did a collab with Final Fantasy to make Final Fantasy. >> Let's do Magic the Gathering and smoke cigars. We'll cut this.
18:30 >> And that's it. That's it for the episode.
