We are so very much back on the complete Hulk Hogan, the definitive audio chronicle of the most

0:05.1

famous and impactful wrestler there has ever been. Hulk Hogan here on the lapsed van is squarely

in our crosshairs for as long as it takes. It could be years. It could be decades. All you got to know is your

co-chairman. Thanks to our friends at Garage Beer are strapped in and ready to go, are strapped in and ready to go.

0:25.9

If you don't know by now, we're starting from the very beginning.

0:29.2

We're starting...

0:30.5

We're in Italy again.

0:31.9

All I can remember is...

0:32.9

Uh, wait, uh, you, you mean?

0:38.8

Yeah, I do mean.

0:39.9

There we go.

Uh, it's, uh, Pietro Bolle.

First, Tommaso Bolaea.

And, uh, we took you last time in our opening salvo on the complete Hulk Hogan through his family's entire immigration to the country, how Panama, the Panama Canal project played such a critical role, and where the Bolleas were reared from a trailer park in Aiken, South Carolina to Tampa Tampa, Florida, all the way through to the story and saga of Hulk Hogan's lost brother, Alan Bolaea. And Alan Mania, I think. Alan Rules. Alan Rules. It's all very clear. We got Kenny Mania and we got Alan Rules. Is it too early to call Alan Balea, the hero of the journey? Not at all. Listen, listen, the one in Dunman, Alan Belaya, absolutely the hero. Listen, that tells me, even if we go through all of Hogan's in ring exploits, we're still going to somehow, our true north on this thing is still going to be Alan. I think, I think really it's going to always come back to Alan or, you know, how, And what did Kenny do to fuck over Hulk Hogan? That's correct. That is correct. And Kenny's out there as well. Kenney and you're running wild here on the cast. So, I mean, you're not going to find, you're not going to find more stones overturned in the earliest rearing days. This is the birth of Terry Balea as opposed to the birth of Hulk Hogan. That's right. It's a very necessary preamble. Oh, my God.

I mean, it's this, this, this, this sets the stage for the fiction and, and the, the reality. Yeah, and if you think the fiction only begins after he breaks into the wrestling business, you're out of your fucking mind because everything he's ever said about this point in his life, he said after he became famous in the wrestling business. So he's Kay Fabe all the way. It's all fiction. We have access to non-K Fabe records, don't we? Brother. Exactly. There's a reason we couldn't do this when he was alive because we didn't want to cease and desist. He would have come at us hard. And we're coming hard.

Oh, fuck it. It's where it's where it's going to be. That's where it's going to be cracked open for the next long while. Yes. Hulk Hogan loved a brusky, man. Yes, he did, brother.
