| 0:19.9 | So good to see you again. Good to see you, brother. You look younger and bigger. Younger and bigger? So you're doing something right? I've been ate my vitamins. I've been saying my prayers. Been doing it all. Let me tell you something, dude. Chrisomania's been running while, brother. You know, the trainer and the prayers and the vitamins, believe or not, that stuff actually works. If you actually do it and you change your life and stick to that, believe me, I know, because I've deviated, that stuff actually works. It's not just a gimmick? Well, it started out as a gimmick. Yeah. But the gimmick was so powerful, it made Terry Ballay a better person. It brought me up. |
| 0:55.2 | So, you know, as soon as I dialed it in and quit messing around with all the other craziness, it actually works. Look at this spot you've got here, by the way. Thank you for inviting us to Hogan's Hangout, right here in Clearwater. Yes, sir. And I've seen the videos you posted on social media. Like this is normally like, you know, a lot of people here, karaoke spot. |
| 0:54.0 | You've got, this is a pretty rocking spot. Yeah, well, I mean, it's kind of like when I was growing up here, this used to be called Mandalay Surf. And all my kids, Nick and Brooke would come in here and get the board shorts and the roller blades and the surfboards and the wax so for years i was coming in here |
| 1:28.7 | going bill bill the guy named bill and i said bill brother if you ever want to sell this place |
| 1:33.2 | i'd like to grab it from me and he never wanted to sell it and then many many years later fast |
| 1:38.7 | forward 30 years later he disappears the place is vacant and i got my hands on it so you know I wasn't really sure what to do |
| 1:46.2 | with it but I had a big club in Tampa called Hogan's Beach where I'd have three and four thousand |
| 1:52.1 | people a night come it was a George Steinbrenner's old place I bought from him and so it got too |
| 1:58.4 | crazy over there with all the electronic music and after about three and a a half years, I walked away. And I just want, and my golf cart's like a minute away. I live right down the road. So I get somebody to cook for me, you know. And, you know, it's just so close to the house, it's fun to have my own little place there. It might be the best kept secret that every Monday you're in here. So if anybody wants to meet Hulk Hogan, see Halkogan, sing karaoke with Halkogan, this is the spot. What's your karaoke song? Well, I don't have one. I don't have one, but I had to shut Flair down. Flair came in here and he wanted to sing my ding-a-ling, okay? So that's it. Cut him off. got i've got a gong so if you cuss that's the |

| 3:09.5 | flying in from Jersey, from New York, from Vegas, just to come in to sing and go crazy there. |
| 3:16.1 | You know, Jason Aldeen's been in here. Of course, Rodman's been in here. It's been nuts. |
