4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I've discussed with y'all before about how

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: I grew up a wrestling fan, right, and it was

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: all because my dad. The reason I'm a sports fan

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: period is because my dad, Right, like all the teams

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and shit, who the fuck would pick to would choose

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: to grow up a Knicks fan and a Washington Football

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: fan in the fucking nineties, right, Like all my fanom

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: I inherited from my postam my pasta is a big

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: wrestling fan too, and Hulk Hogan was. He was the

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: first athlete that I was a super fan about that

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: I was a legitimately a fan about. Like, of course,

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: pro wrestling isn't necessarily a sport because we know the

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: outcomes are predetermined, but I think that pro wrestling is

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: definitely a display of athleticism, and pro wrestls are for

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: sure athletes. So I count Hulk Hogan. It's the first

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: athlete I was like a super fan of, and so

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, I was there as a kid during the

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Hulk of Mania stage. I was there, you know, as

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: a kid during the Added Due era, during the when

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: when he you know, was a figurehead of nWo like

24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan was. Of course, you know, you cannot talk

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: the trajectory and how pro wrestling grew to prominence without

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: discussing Halkogan and and and in the eighties right like

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: that started it off. He is the single most important

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: and influential and impactful pro wrestler of all time. That's

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: non debatable. Right But with all that said, with all

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: that said, as much of a fan as I was

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: a fan, when I found that, when that fucking clip

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: surface of Hims, you know, being a fucking race, I'm like, Okay,

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: well fuck call Cogan. He's dead to me, Like it

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: was that simple. And I don't get, you know, I

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: just don't understand how some people are just so attached

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: to celebrities, because it's so easy for me to give

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: up on a celebrity once I find out you're a

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: piece of shit, Like I don't know these people bro

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: like and racism if you ain't black people, yeah, I'm

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: definitely not fucking with you anymore. I don't listen, I

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: don't funk with Kanye anymore because he doesn't like black

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: people and he is black people. So it's so easy,

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: especially if you're a racist, for me to just say

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: fuck you, Okay, I'm done with you forever, bro. And

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: it was for sure that way with with with Paul Cogan.

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: And I want to say this, bro, I do not

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: have any pity, any sympathy for people who have lived

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: a life where you have done terrible things. You have

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, said racist ship and then when your day comes,

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: when you get called on home, yeah exactly, and when

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: people start clowning when you die, I don't give a fuck,

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Like like, you're not the sympathetic person here, Bro, There's

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: there's no sympathy that that that that that arises from

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: me from that. And I feel like whenever someone dies

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: and if you have to do that whole preface of

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: hey hate him or love him or whatever your belief, sorry,

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: that person was a piece of ship. That person. We're

58
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: not saying that about Malcolm Jamal Warner, God bless his soul.

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: We don't preface. We don't preface is passing with that

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: with Regardless of your views, you have to admit that

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: THEO was an influential figure in American pop history. We

62
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: don't do that with with Mateljamo Wona because he was

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: a great guy and that was that and that's a

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: huge loss that that hurts a lot of us. So like, bro,

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: you live your life in a way where people aren't

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: fucking clowning you when you die, Because for one, I

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: feel like and and and here's and here's where where

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna address like the racist and the dickheads who

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: have been chiming in on this because for one, for people,

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I feel like so many people are telling on themselves

71
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: whenever they say this whole well, you're just gonna hate

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: someone because of their political beliefs. Okay, so you're you're

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: it's always right when you're saying it's just so you're

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: admitted that hating black people is a fundamental part of

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: your political platform. Right, You're admitted that in a roundabout

76
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: way there, and then it's like, I don't understand how

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: you can. Why are you putting the onus on the

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: people who are hated by the racists to be bigger people,

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: to be a bigger person than the races
