Listen, somewhere before this hour, as I'll give you the finish story about Hulk Hogan. I mean, he just, he's a fascinating guy. And, boy, just if there's ever proof that a reality show and you, we've seen it in other, that'd be a good thing to, a segment to talk about. I should probably look up all the people. and their reality shows and how they've fared after the reality show started

because there's not many that you can think of, hey, the reality show made life better, right? There's not many. Most of them their lives have crumbled out of control because of it. And Hulk is no exception to that. He is most definitely no exception to that. I mean, he was on top of the world. I used to see him, you know, a couple times, two or three times a week.

His son and daughter went to the same school as my oldest son for about a year. And his son played football with my boy. And it was, you know, eighth or ninth grade school. And seventh grade, something like that. And it was, you know, we used to see him. And it was nice because it was a private school. And, you know, so it was a small campus and stuff. and he would come in.

I'd come in and watch the boys practice. And after the matches, it was amazing because he, you know, he could barely move. He'd be slow moving after the matches. I mean, he was still traveling around, you know, doing shows two or three times a week. For sure, once a week, the big shows.

And, wow. I mean, that. And he signed the deal for the reality show, and he pulled his kids out of the school and homeschooled because he wanted, you know, they were going to, you know, shoot the reality show. And that was at his house not far from where we lived there in Florida. His house was just a tad bigger than mine, just so you know. And in a little bit higher-priced neighborhood. But, hey, I digress. So after that, their life crumbled out of control.

Because in the beginning of those reality shows, it all seems pretty good. Right? It seems pretty good. You think about it. There's cameras and everybody's filming your life and it's ha, ha, ha. And then, you know, everybody has little things that they don't talk about that they don't. It's just weird. I don't, I mean, what we do here at the Blaze and the Glenn Beck program is damn near a reality.

show. But there's still some doors that are closed. Now I'm just thinking out. Now I'm just talking off the top of my head. There's still some doors that are closed. Right. I mean, there's still some windows you can't see through. But for the most part, what happens here at the Blaze Radio Network and the Glenn Beck program and Mercury Studios is damn near a reality show. I mean, there's, there's not much. There's not very many doors that are remained closed in your life, in our lives. And you work really hard to keep some of those doors closed because it's easy to open them all. I mean, that's what we do. We, you know, we're, we're with you. This is what we do. This is our lives.

Welcome to it. And it's, it's, uh, it's hard. It's hard to keep some doors closed so that it's yours. Nobody else's. Just yours. And that's, you know, your family, whatever, your wife, your kids. I mean, they're a part of our, of our reality show here. everyone's got a wife and family and kids that are talked about been shown you see them out with us

so and it's hard to explain to your kids okay here is a door that's closed and we're not going to open it okay nobody needs to come in through that door you don't need to tell anybody you know you don't need to talk it's it's very hard sometimes and I'm not even Glenn think about it. Now, most of you get to listen and enjoy it. And we love it. That's why we do it. I mean, that's why. Because we love it and we want to share and we're talking about the world and life and we're sharing some of the same struggles. But if you don't keep those doors, some of those doors closed, you end up

Hulk Hogan. You end up, what's her face? You know, ODN on drugs in the Bahamas. You end up, you know, Olympic star wanting to be a, believe in you're a female. I mean, that's, yeah, to show me a reality show where life hasn't just spun out of control for these people. I mean, the Kardashians are still going. They're still spinning out of control like a tornado. I mean, they're just like a water spout, man. And Hulk the same way.

And it ends up with Hulk suing a website for showing a couple of minute video of him having sex with, his presumed best friend's wife. And I don't know that Bubba was in the room filming it. Wouldn't surprise me. But that relationship has been shattered, or so I'm told. Because I thought originally it was some kind of bit for Bubba's radio show and Hulk's life. I thought it was some kind of bit.

We see now that he claims he was at the bottom of the barrel of his life. Everything was out of control. The wife is off running around how the kids are doing it. time and partying. His daughter is singing, you know, national anthem at the hockey game. So, you know, he wins the $100 million. Good. God bless him.

Gawker. You know, look, if I have a website and someone sends me a two-minute video of Hulk Hogan, let me say on my websites, I should rephrase that. Somebody sends me a video of Hulk Hogan, the guy who is, danced around in front of cameras in his underwear and boots for years and talked about what a great thing and how his body is beautiful and how his man part is so great. And I see a two-minute video of him having sex with a female, let alone a female that's supposed to be the wife of his so-called best friend.

And I'm not supposed to air that. I'm not supposed to put that on my website. Come on now. Come on. And I'm not a big fan of Bubba, but, you know, the guy has been around forever and put on some shows and made a fortune.

So, you know, good for him. Good for him. He and I had it out once. He didn't like me very much. That's another story. When he was being sued, all right, I'll tell you what it is.

When he was being sued. sued in Tampa for killing the pig. I don't even remember what the charges were or whatever. He killed this pig as part of a radio bit at his radio show. He was working on the same building I was for Clear Channel in Tampa Bay.

I was working, you know, down the hall. He's going to see him every day. And so and I remember which kid was, one of my younger kids was born because I remember laying in the hospital bed with my wife

holding my new baby watching the news report of Bubba on the stand in the trial. And he is, it looks like he's got a suit that's too big. It doesn't fit him. Now, I get, you know, then I thought, ah, he's just wearing it because he's trying to be, you know, an everyday guy on the stand. Not the big radio star, I got it. So driving into the new, driving into the next morning, go to work. I didn't take any time off for the baby. When you kidding me, there's work to do.

There's a radio show to put out. So I hear the news report. And the radio newsman does the report of Bubba, our news radio station that I was working for, our news anchor does a news report of the Bubba story. And he says, Martin Giles, the best news guy in the world, retired now, Martin Giles.

We love him. He does the news report. And in his news report, he says, and Bubba on the stand, in a bad suit. And I laugh and I'm like, yeah, it sure was. And I laugh and I don't think anything of it. So I'm in the hallway,

later come out of one of the production rooms. And there's Bubba's production. talking to the news producer lady, Shana. And it doesn't mean anything to you. Sheena Lance. We just live in Tampa, you know who she is. And she did the news for us, a WFLA. And she's changing people's radio lives every day now in Tampa Bay.

And so Mama's producer is standing in the hallway, railing at her about the news saying that he was in a bad suit. And she's saying, hey, I've got the script right here. It doesn't say that. And so I say, oh, yeah, Martin said that. Over here, I said, yeah, Martin said that. It must not have been in the script.

That was just him. Because he saw the clip the same as I did. It thought the same thing. And he just threw it in there as an offhanded remark in the news. And he was in a bad suit. And he and I said, yeah, I heard him say it. It might not be in the script, but he said it.

He was just talking about the clip. And so Bubba's producer turns and starts saying some things to me in language I'm not going to use here. And I was like, well, dude, it was just a report. And seriously, you just. Did you see the clip? Because the suit didn't fit that good. And he's pissed and storms off. So a little while later, I come out,

I come down the hallway out of the production room. And here comes his producer and Bubba walking down the hallway. And his producer's going, that's him. That's the guy. And Bubba started screaming at me. I'm on trial for my life. I got, I'm on trial for my life. and things are serious and you guys are joking around about my suit.

And I was like, Bubba, I'm with you. I think it's the stupidest thing ever. And he was found, the trial went away. It was stupid. It was found innocent. I was like, I'm with you. I got it. I think it's a joke that you're on trial for this thing.

But seriously, it was a bad suit. He was so pissed. He started screaming at me and walking away and screaming back at me and threatening things that never came to fruition. Never happened. He did threaten him, but they never happened. But he was really bad at me that day. All for wearing a bad suit.
