And I remember I was watching the wonderful documentary Rumble in the Jungle, the history of the fight between Ali and George Foreman.
Jack the InsiderHOST
And I got a phone call and I was annoyed because someone had rung me because I was enjoying this documentary.

SeanHOST
But I suppose if they would've ever met, it would've been around the mid-'70s.
SeanHOST
It probably would've been around the time either pre-Zaire or post-Zaire, post the Rumble in the Jungle.
SeanHOST
I'd more be inclined to say post-Rumble in the Jungle, th- if this would've happened before, before Foreman had his ret- first retirement.
SeanHOST
But oh, God, imagine, imagine that fight, Foreman and Shavers, two of the biggest punchers never going toe-to-toe.
SeanHOST
You just imagine what type of a fight that would've been.
AmandaHOST
Question two asks us to name the country in which a 1974 rumble took place, forming the basis of the documentary film When We Were Kings.
GeorgeHOST
This is about the rumble in the jungle, a fight between Muhammad Ali and I believe Foreman.
AmandaHOST
I think you're
GeorgeHOST
right.
AmandaHOST
at the
GeorgeHOST
time.
GeorgeHOST
One of the fights that I think Don King promoted and very heavily leaned on this rumble in the jungle idea.
GeorgeHOST
And I believe one or more of the boxers got malaria or something like that while training for it.
Stephen MillerHOST
But he was huge.
Stephen MillerHOST
People used to get up in the middle of the night to listen to the radio commentary of the Rumble in the Jungle and that.
Stephen MillerHOST
And...
Stephen MillerHOST
Those people are older now, but there is such a fondness there.
