Classic dysmorphia.
I’ll admit to being mostly angry at Terry Gene Bollea for much of the last decade. The man more popularly known as Hulk Hogan was an apple of my childhood eye. The WWF had become a thing during my childhood years and while the pageantry of big-time wrestling didn’t really capture my imagination, the toys were pretty cool. Our JP Currie would be pleased to know “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was my favorite, in his Scottish kilt, but Hogan was way up there.
Until, that is, he got caught in an affair, the naughty tape capturing the delicate dance published by Gawker. Well, Hogan sued, Gawker refused to bend over, as it were, and Peter Thiel, a right leaning homosexual who was outed as such by the aforementioned Gawker, paid $10 mil to fight Hogan’s battle, essentially, bankrupting the culturally important website out of spite.
The truth, in both cases, setting no one free.
In any case, Hogan is in the news again after appearing on the extremely popular Joe Rogan podcast and telling the host that he had been born in the wrong body.
According to an eagle-ear’d listener, and Sid Abruzzi fan, which means he is above reproach:
If you listen to Joe Rogan’s latest podcast featuring none other than Hulk Hogan, right around the 45 minute mark they start talking about Laird’s Superfood. Hulk, wearing a skin tight John 3:16 t- shirt, then states in a beautiful, deep bass, American voice:
“This is really gonna sound weird to say, cos I’ve never admitted this in front of anybody, but I’ve wanted to be him. When I saw him riding those big waves bro, that big, tall blonde guy that was built like crazy, I said, man I wish I could’ve been him instead of me.”
Seems the wrestling superstar would do anything to trade his silken, blonde Chinese hair and hotdog skin to look more like our Adonis. They then proceed to talk about big waves and sharks and Hulk’s surf experience for a little bit.
I get it, the wanting to be Laird, but I’m still mad at Hogan for the Gawker business.
Well, David Lee Scales and I also have a podcast. Though not nearly as famous as Rogan’s, it is still considered “sometimes ok.” On today’s episode we discussed rage and the decline in decorum and good manners. A quality listen if you happen to be over 70.
Enjoy.

Laird Hamilton has a healthy relationship with his wife, and a respectable persona.
That other dude is a human car wreck, and is rich from playing pretend.
I wish I was born with a ten inch dong but I don’t get any airtime and people look at me weird if I tell them.
Hulk Hogan killed Gawker!

i like wrestling
As recommended, I will wait till I’m 70 prior to listening
WWF or WWE always seemed to appeal to a very niche subset of nerdy incels here!
Not a fan of wrestling, never will be. And in contrast to blonde god Adonis, swarthy Rogan is a short guido who gets off “joking” with adult learner Tom Segura about shooting homeless people. And while BG may not have a huge trickle down effect to today’s youth, Rogan’s words do. He’s a Jersey boy with a podcast “popular” with INCEL nation and wannabe doctors like KS.
A claim to fame: Got a rare haole ride in the back of an old Hawaiian F250 pick up back to town leaving Honolua Bay with Adonis and The Polo Man,(Buzzy Kerbox), after a perfect green/blue 6-10 H Bay on Halloween eve when Laird got the cover of SURFING on a Cave barrel that day in ’85.
1- get waves?
2- shoulder hoppers?
3- lunch?
ha…well yes did get waves at midpoint and near Cave. Cool to sit in back of pickup with these two just listening to Story.
Laird killed non dairy creamer.
you might even say he foiled it
Why do you yanks froth so hard on wrestling, cause it’s pretty fucken gay
Good question… As a kid growing up in 70’s my uncle took us to a match. Jimmy Super Fly.. Ric Flair etc. I was probably age 8… Seeing Ric Flair get hit with a chair over the back blood ablaze in blonde hair. My cousin balled his brains out to the scene.. we thought it was real! Haven’t watched a match since but still remember the scene.. Don’t know if it’s more entertaining Smith Vs Ashton circus but maybe.
can’t even tolerate the women. sure i’ll glance at the ringers.
Jamie: Hey Joe have you heard about this pocket called ‘The Grit’
Joe: Nope.
Jamie: well the moved from position 7000 in the podcast rankings to 6000 in a week.
Joe: impressive, what do they cover?
Jamie: Not much.
Joe: Oh wait ! I have heard about that.
That’s the one with the bearded lady, right ?
Hopefully the lord was in his ear pointing him in the right direction when Lairds superfoods IPO’d. Timbeeeerrrrrrrr!
