What's happening, guys? Happy Tuesday. And thank you for joining. Another special episode

of your welcome. Coming up on today's episode, I think it's time to make Max Holloway

versus Dan Hooker, and let's do it for the BMFel plus the latest on BJ Penn and the big news from over the weekend in the combat sports world let's start with that

Hulk Hogan has passed away now I have a few Hulk Hogan has passed away. Now, I have a few Hulk Hogan stories, and I need to lead with.

Hulk has close friends and family, and they are the ones to do a tribute-style piece to Hulk. I do not want to mislead and act as though

me and Hulk were boys or something like that. But I was a fan, and he had a real-life, a life-size

poster. And he stood like six-foot-six, six-foot-four. He had a life-size poster. And he stood like six foot six, six-foot four. He had a life-size poster.

So this thing took up my entire wall, took it, it goes all the way up. But then it was a

measuring tape. It had the inches in there and then, okay, one foot, and then the inches and the two

feet, then the inches and three feet. So when you were a little kid, you could go stand by it and you could mark yourself and how much further do I have

to be Hulk size? And, you know, that goes back to, I must have been third grade. So, a fan. I'm a

fan. But my buddy Justin and I get tickets. Wrestling's in town. And Hulk might have even been working

a program with Andre the Giant. We might have seen a dark match. Andre was there and Hulk was there.

I remember that clearly. Big deal. House show. Dark matches. What's that term mean? It it means you got to be in the house to see

the show it's not televised so while you see wrestling on every monday night they work to what that

would be 52 Mondays in the year, they work 250.

So hundreds of house shows, you might just find that interesting.

My buddy Justin and I go down to Ticketmaster.

We, and we're only, we're kids.

We're eight and nine and 11 at the oldest. And we have them show us a schematic of the arena the way it will be

set up for this wrestling, because what we want to know is the aisle they're going to walk down.

We want tickets on that aisle so that we can reach over and touch them. At any rate, I miss Hulk as he's going in, but my buddy Justin gets him. So we're like looking at his hand. He's like showing me the hand and Hulk had a little oil and sweat, you know, so he's got like a like a shiny hand. I was, oh my God, I missed him. I can't believe it. So on his way back, I got him. He's right there. I missed him. On the way in when I say I missed him, I didn't reach or anything. I couldn't get to position. My buddy Justin got there and got his hand through. As he's returning after the match, I got, he's right there. It'd be like doing a high five and getting an airball.
