Tom O'MahonyHOST
I mean, in all fairness, if you, it, talk about a defense, you know, people try to psych each other out.
Tom O'MahonyHOST
You know, you often saw, y- anybody watch, like, um, Pumping Iron, you know how Arnold Schwarzenegger was psyching out Lou Ferrigno beforehand with Chet and stuff like that?
Gerry McBrideHOST
Yeah.
Tom O'MahonyHOST
And, and that-
Kale SteedHOST
You never saw it.
Kale SteedHOST
You didn't remember the old, like Lou Ferrigno.
Kale SteedHOST
That's who she turns into.
Kale SteedHOST
So I'll say, let's just hypothetical here real quick.
Jesse ThorneHOST
So you know Pumping Iron 'cause Arnold's in it, right? But you don't know Pumping Iron 2.
Jesse ThorneHOST
Well, maybe I know Pumping Iron 'cause Lou Ferrigno's in it.
Jordan MorrisHOST
[laughs]
Jesse ThorneHOST
Uh, it could be.
Jordan MorrisHOST
Yes.
Jordan MorrisHOST
Yeah.
Jesse ThorneHOST
Uh, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno are the most fascinating human beings in the history of the world on camera.
Jesse ThorneHOST
There's a couple of other dudes in this movie who are similarly fascinating, and it's like Schwarzenegger's, uh, intersection of good and evil is so compelling in the film.
ChristianHOST
[laughs]
PaulGUEST
If you actually painted him green, he'd look like Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk after that.
ChristianHOST
Amazing.
ChristianHOST
[laughs] Yeah, that'd be incredible.
GregHOST
And then they put him in acting because he's a fucking insane physical specimen.
GregHOST
And like Schwarzenegger, he plays Hercules early on, and like Lou Ferrigno, they did the same thing, like 30 years later, or 20 years later.
GregHOST
But anyway, I mentioned to him, I watched it, and he said that there's a possibility that that first Steve Reeves-Hercules movie is the very first movie he ever saw in theaters.
GregHOST
Oh, which it came out.
Bret VeselyHOST
Thanks, Brittany.
Bret VeselyHOST
Is this like Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno? Is it like the Incredible Hulk? They just turn into the same dude or
Brady BogenHOST
what?
John HolmbergHOST
Yes.
Matt KellyHOST
Let me find the list of guests.
Matt KellyHOST
So it features, in that music video, Bridget Nelson, Paul Abdul, Carl Weathers, Whoopi Goldberg, Quincy Jones, Amy Irvin, Billy Dee Williams, Rosanna Arquette, Lou Diamond Phillips, Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Corey Feldman, Steven Spielberg, Debbie Gibson, Weird Al Yankovic, Bubbles, Susan Summers, Lou Ferrigno, Virginia Madison, Danny Glover, Richard and Emily Dreyfuss, David Copperfield, Dan Aykroyd, and Steve Gutenberg, among many others.
Matt KellyHOST
Wow.
Matt KellyHOST
But literally, yeah, there's a full like they're sitting on set, all being interviewed about why they think Michael Jackson is late for the music video shoot.
Chris WardGUEST
And when I interviewed him, he was very suspicious of me, as he should be, I guess, because of how the press has treated him.
Jeff MayHOST
I treat him the same way I treat Lou Ferrigno, which is like, I understand why you're being an ass.
Jeff MayHOST
But it doesn't excuse that you're being an ass.
Chris WardGUEST
Yeah.
Jeff MayHOST
And it's like, I don't even think he's necessarily a bad person.
Jeff MayHOST
He likes to pretend he's not very sensitive and he just is.
Jeff MayHOST
And Lou Ferrigno, same way, spent 40 years having people call you Hulk and ask you for a favor all the time.
Chris WardGUEST
That would get old.
Tatiana MaslanyGUEST
Well, it's the older guy too.
Tatiana MaslanyGUEST
Oh, Lou Ferrigno.
Tatiana MaslanyGUEST
Lou
Mehdi HasanHOST
Ferrigno, who I watched in King of Queens.
Mehdi HasanHOST
yeah.
Mehdi HasanHOST
Have you watched that sitcom? Random.
Mehdi HasanHOST
Lou Ferrigno was back when they didn't have special effects.
Tatiana MaslanyGUEST
Right, right, right.
RobertHOST
nerds were nerds and they were like, wasn't Eric Bana the original Hulk? And I had to also correct that.
RobertHOST
It was actually Lou Ferrigno.
RobertHOST
Lou
PaulHOST
Ferrigno.
RobertHOST
He's not the original Hulk.
RobertHOST
But also, Eric Bana is not the original Hulk.
RobertHOST
It was Lou Ferrigno, then Eric Bana, then Edward Norton, then Mark Ruffalo.
PaulHOST
Technically, it was Bill Bixby, but...
