Transcript

00:00It was a former, it's a former MMA guy.

00:02What's the reaction to the Hulk?

00:05I was sick about that.

00:07I mean, I was sick about that.

00:09I was surprised I found out about actually about two hours ago,

00:15maybe an hour, I would say 30, 45 minutes.

00:17I've been kind of had my head down, taking care of some other stuff.

00:20So it was, it hurt me.

00:22I grew up with the guy, right?

00:24I mean, I had his little action figures and I was never a Hulkster,

00:28but I might have tore my shirt a few times pretending to be him.

00:31Might have threw a couple of friends over their head and I might have got thrown

00:33a few times, all of us pretending to be Hulk growing up.

00:36So it's kind of hard to see a dynasty like that leave.

00:39Had you met him, the RNC and other places?

00:41Yes, yeah.

00:42What does this mean for the cultural loss for Republicans?

00:46People come and go in the world and it hurts.

00:49I think one of the biggest things that I fear is getting old.

00:52I tell my wife all the time, I don't want to die of old age.

00:54I want to die of an accident.

00:56Because I just, it's hard.

00:58It's hard to see ones that we grew up with, especially ones we love,

01:01go through something.

01:02And I guess if you're going to go, he did his style.

01:07He sure didn't suffer.

01:08He went pretty quick.

01:09That's why I understood it.

01:10So I feel sorry for his family right now because that's a big loss and

01:14big hole to anybody with that kind of personality.

01:16When I met him, he was, I don't know if he's on character 24 seven or not,

01:21but he was just like what you see on TV when I first met him.

01:23So I thought it was a, I thought it was surreal and his hand was huge.

01:27Thanks for your time.

01:29Thanks for that.
