Summary
Discussing HBO’s ‘Andre the Giant’ Documentary & Whether Giants May Have Existed in Prehistory
The life & career of André René Roussimoff is incredible! & even if you're not a die-hard fan of wrestling or sports documentaries, we'd encourage you to check out the film 'Andre the Giant' which captures the amazing story of a world-famous personality who truly was larger than life. On this episode, in addition to chatting about the man known as "The Eighth Wonder of the World" & the impression he left on our generation ...we're also discussing the rise of Hulk Hogan, how Vince McMahon built his global brand, epic Andre drinking stories, the most painful "heckle" of all-time, Geoff vs. Geoffrey & mind-blowing American history! Calling all skeptics, what do you make of the mounting evidence which shows there may have at one time been a race of giants on our planet? #WTFIsGoingOnHere #AndreTheGiant
