Synopsis:
“When a sex tape featuring Hulk Hogan and the wife of his best friend —radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge® Clem—was leaked online, it ignited a media firestorm. You’ve read the headlines. Bubba recorded it. Gawker published it. This shocking documentary unpacks the lies, the betrayals, and the lawsuit that rewrote the rules of privacy. But the resulting fallout had much greater consequences than just Hogan crushing Gawker. You think you know the real story. You don’t know anything.”
The DOUBLE SHOT is where John & Wai review things that don’t really fit on their other shows. Previous episodes: https://www.postwrestling.com/category/podcasts/postwrestlingcafe/doubleshot/
