This isn't the first time thor Hansen has been on a set, but this is different. This is the love boat Estimation, one of the Greatest TV shows of all time. We can't stop grinning that he's brought to set by a P. A afternoon. My name is Gavin MacLeod and welcome to the love boat. Thank you Captain stubing.
He stops and salutes at the veteran actor in full sea vessel. Captain's uniform. Just call me Gavin Captain Holy Ship, is that julie. She's even hotter in person. Yes Lauren has a scene with me shortly and she is quite fetching indeed. Just then Bernie couple walks up in a red robe over his love boat, shirt, shorts and high socks, cigarette hanging out of his mouth. How you doing man? Bernie Duck, follow me, big guy thor follows the love boats on board doctor to wear.
Some other cast members and crew are gathered around a catering table. They wanted me to go over my lines. Lines sh mines thor can't believe it as he sees the funniest member of the cast fred grandy leaned over the table working on something, go for good to meet you brother. Hey fred he says he wants to go over his lines man Only lines you need to go for reveals a silver tray on the table with three lines of cocaine.
Oh no, what do you copy something fred Grandy leans over and snorts a line with a tiny golden straw. No it's just never really did coke before. I try to keep clean with the drugs. Come on thor how else we gonna get through the day? It seems pretty addictive. Let the other research can't kick the head start. Okay fine you guys are really pressuring me. I didn't expect that from the cast of the, he sniffs it through the straw and he feels like he's been hooked up to a car battery alright brother.
Hey words Isaac and the captain's daughter Vicky, it's not really your daughter man, Her name is Jill wheeler titties still in his trailer. He don't come out until he gets a nice long blowjob says fred grandy who are the other guests this week? You probably charo Bruce Jenner show him sniffing around Lauren twigs wardrobe, looking through her dresses.
She's talking about julie, the cruise director dude must be trying to fund her, not the first guy to try won't be the last count me, I'd give anything to beg that she's a total babe out steps ted lange better known as Isaac, the bartender also in a red robe looking very refreshed as a girl walks out behind him, he walks straight to the table where Gopher presents the cocaine to him. He points out the tray with both hands like guns just like he does on the show.
I can't believe I got to see that with my own eyes as ted lange bends over and sniffs his line while Gopher cuts out some more coke, you guys must pussy being on this show. The girls on this set. The actress is the extras, they get so wet, just being here, they're dying to fuck says Bernie Koppell? No ship. We've been known to have an orgy or two with the wrap parties. Why do you think they call it the love boat ship.
This is the greatest day of my life, Kings of the Ring episode 35 Overdose and a wild wild wrestling tv taping from the Louisville gardens in Kentucky crusher Krawcheck is in the ring with the meat machine.
Rookie Mike Pihl, now known as the Monster Damien and this match where the loser gets whipped by the fans with leather belts, crusher Krawcheck dealing with all kinds of chaos from johnny johnston, The false army Grody Maxwell was disguised as a fan and jump crusher before the match even started and johnny johnston and his mad scientist jacket has done nothing but interfere all match crusher pounding his fist into the hockey mask of the seven ft Damian in the corner.
Hey, what's johnny doing in the ring now? Oh no, he just threw a fireball and crush a cross check space. Oh he goes down for my, oh, I don't think the legendary world champion has ever had to deal with anything like wow wrestling before as the also show finishes and wrestlers hide from the fans that drive off from the back of the sam Houston coliseum parking lot. Burt Ironside steps outside with the son Gabriel Angel, you heard about the tars and kid?
Right yes, I did pop and it's a damn shame he was a good guy. He was a good guy who wouldn't have been sticking needles in his arms for christ sakes. If you want to buzz drink a case of beer. That's why God invented alcohol. Our Lord had nothing to do with them. Drugs, not your God had much to do with either. See you boys were raised different you remember now. Gabe someone offers you drugs. You do what? I love that first lady nancy Reagan says and just say no, got it dad.
Hey, what's going on with your new tag team partner? Apollo seemed a little off in the main event tonight. Ah Brick and Tiger ran the abortion gimmick on him. I think he got in his head. He's all worried he got AIDS and ship for you. Got to be worried about Only the queers get AIDS and what do you do about the rib? You put a stop to it. No, he's gotta take it, deal with it on his own. Bird lights a cigarette. You know, I worry about this Apollo kid. I think he's kinda fragile.
He'll find his way anyway. This Super Bowl of Wrestling deal is gonna happen, yep. Can you get me on the car? You already are? Who am I working? Why? Well dad, I need a favor. There's a match up one and I really need you to make this happen. Who? Someone I got in mind from Atlanta.
A healthy crowd of almost 10,000 fill the stands as charlie and son nellie Gotsch stand by the entrance to the arena floor, watching short and Buzzsaw wrestle a. M. W. Icon, brad Wilkins and all american dan Sanders builders. Former olympians, they wear faded amateur wrestling style. Single IDs with skin the same color as the milk.
they both professed drinking all their lives across from them are shark and Buzz saw who look like they stepped off the set of a science fiction movie, huge rippling muscles on big guys who look like they eat metal for breakfast. They have colored paint streaked on their face and mohawk haircuts as the match that generates into a broad people cheering your milk and half the people are booing. They're enjoying seeing the apocalypse kick his ass.
Buzz whipped with the mohawk isn't even since he is, he's just so much bigger than Milken's. It doesn't look like much Buzzsaw shoves the rest to the mat and he calls for the bell and now they're still brawling with him after the match is over, even though they lost hate guys who do that. And so do the fans watch this as a result of a disqualification. The all american vein sandals and the Olympian brian Wilkins nelly has his arms folded, looking over at his dad, waiting for a response.
Why are they booing? Give me a zone or something? I already told you why dad? No, no, the problem must be dan Sanders. He's lost it. He's washed up. No Sanders is doing the same stick, he's done his whole career. Maybe even better than ever. But the fans like shark and both saw more than those two old farts. It was a mistake to book this match and you're seeing why pop, But hey, maybe it's just a sign that it might be time to turn the apocalypse.
Babyface nellie turns and sees his father stomping off the arena floor. The outlaw jesse James and his gear pacing and thinking with a styrofoam cup of coffee in the back hallways of the ocean Center in Daytona beach florida and daniel Hawkins walks up to him with an ear to ear grin, Danny boy. Just what I need to talk to you.
I don't think Diamond Don is coming back and I've been chewing on this and well, knowing obvious to fit his shoes, the best move might be to switch us to a baby face territory. Now, I know that's a major change. Okay. Uh, I also talked to jimmy buck and laid out the plans to build the thanksgiving, jesse, jesse, jesse, We're gonna be on the car show. Come on now. What's going on here? I just talked to my sister. Okay. Yes, you must have really laid one out on her. I beg your pardon?
I mean, she's totally off my back now. Huh? After that meeting, she said, I can do whatever I want, but that's w with your complete blessing. Oh yes, it was a fruitful encounter. Uh, about this Eddie car show. What I think, I mean, wow jesse, you must really know how to use that silvery tongue of yours. I mean she don't listen to anybody. She's actually daniel looks around to make sure no one's around. Total bitch. Oh, I see. Uh Anyway, we're gonna set up a rematch on Eddie car show.
I don't know what you did, but you must have left your purring like a kitten. She's glowing. I've never seen her like that before. I did not make love to her. Okay. What? My sister? It's gross in a million years. Don't even put that picture in my mind. Oh yeah, that's what I meant. Of course, that your sister. Yeah, that's what I said. I mean, I would never jesse stares off into space, sink myself between Ava's creamy white thighs. I mean, it's the eighties, right?
It's not unusual to have bedrooms and offices. What are you talking about? Well, what am I talking about? I'm talking about the Eddie car show. Yeah, I already said that, but me and jimmy book are gonna be on it. But did I tell you we're gonna be on it? Yes. Well, let me tell you what we're gonna do. Did I tell you that? No, you didn't get that. Well then Mr expert on who said, well, if you'd allow me then, I can't tell you. Yeah, we're gonna talk about the pile driver.
I laid him out with in charlotte, right. Sounds fantastic, Jesse pulls the collar away from his neck. It's all about the big rematch. Danny boy is going to be hooked. A sweat covered Davey boy Givens, bobby lee. Rivers, Prince Abdullah and the Russians, Dmitry and Vladimir Rykoff walked back from their match to the locker room. All looking piste off good match tonight boys. Thanks jesse.
Shit man, we need to make some changes, bobby lee River says as he throws his sweat soaked bandanas, he tied around his arms to the floor of the locker room. I'm getting my ask kicked every night. I'm talking to youtube bronies potato and the ship out of me out there. They ain't about to tell you to work, but we're just trying to make it look real bob is right to way too stiff. You need to lighten up out there and tighten up the moves to your sloppy.
That clothesline not have petite loose hit me in the chest, not my mouth. Sorry brothers. Well, we'll work on it. Even if these guys were smooth as a job town Express, I'm getting killed in the fan's eyes, but taking all the heat every night. What are you talking about? I get stomped on by the Russian for 15 minutes. Then you get the hot tag clean house and shine like a diamond. I look like a pussy. You can't stop, but it's not what's happening guy who's over should get the hot tag.
No offense brother. Think I'm more over than you, You rock bobby, you are more over than me and it's because you're taking the heat, You're trying to work me. It's my charisma, brother. Got more of my pinky than you do in your whole body, Good psychology bobby, your charisma is exactly why I would do it this way. Them girls wouldn't give two ships with me, get my butt kicked, but when it's you, they care Prince Abdullah joins in.
Trust me, poppy, if they knew the real you, they beg us to kick your face in. You got to get on board with bobby lee, I'm making more money than I ever did my life for this rock and roll gimmick and I want this to last a long time, not burn out and this is how I would do it. Yeah, I don't know. I think fans want to see me kick ass and hitting everybody with my big move and go home. You think you thought Hansen or something? He's over, ain't he?
And he's six ft £300 you five ft nothing and £200 soaking wet once you 68 £300 I shut up Until then you said, I don't like look awake the more you hurt, the more these teenybopper fans with their little titties feel bad for you. I want to suck your tiny prick and make you feel better, racing business, not about money, Racing business, not about legacy wrestling business, about wanting and wanting only to make girls want to suck you thick. Now shut the frak up and take the heat, you crazy.
A real enough talk of this. Everyone, these ships, but the Prince period here, kings of the ring will be right back after these messages. Candy apple made with real fruit juice with a full day's supply of vitamin C. So cool. It's cool enough for me. Rapunzel, Rapunzel. I'm here to win your heart. Not with that. But where are the biscuits? We now return to Kings of the ring Paulo Samson is sitting with luscious Ronnie Miller and Scatman jones.
At a table in the corner of a crowded bar in Houston texas. There are several wrestlers out tonight. The only one Apollo cares about is Brick Sawyer. Apollo glares at him across the room, thinking how brick made him look like a chump in front of the boys. Luscious Ronnie Miller drinks his beer and notices brick glaring. You still pissed about botching the finish with the rebels. Don't even sweat it brother.
As long as the babyface had the arm raised at the end of the night, all the people care about not how you did it. Thanks Ronnie. Just a lot of my mind, Apollo says, as he sips his vodka cranberry Scatman jones asks y'all heard about the Tarzan Kida. No, who's that raises for the empire in new york or should I say used to wrestle What happened? Dead heroin overdose. No way. We like to party sniff a little old guy in new york, take it too far. I heard they even got their own doctor.
He gets the drugs for everybody. Their doctor gives up heroin. I don't believe that. That's what I hear everything. It's all that julie and cain's doing juicing up the whole locker room so everybody looks like a cartoon. I don't know about them. Steroids already shrinks your balls. No way I'm messing with that. Doesn't shrink your balls. If you know what you're doing, you just need to cycle down Anyway. Sorry to hear about Tarzan.
I think I might make a run in new york when I'm done here as Ronnie and Scatman. Go on. Apollo takes one last swig of liquid courage, ready to confront Brick in front of everybody who's making all that ruckus. They look over and see a giant of a man standing over cadillac jake Donovan. I recognize that guy. That's Dick Jurkovic from the Raiders traders must be in town to play the bowlers should have.
Why don't you shut is he really trying to start with cadillac with all of us here, don't worry, Rick servers got that look in his eye, he'll take care of it. He gonna stick his head in the toilet. I don't know man that your call was about six ft eight. I wouldn't mess with him. The three of them along with everyone else. Turn their attention to the bar where the L a raider Jurkovic is looking down at all South mid carter cadillac jake. Donovan. He's their cadillac.
Let me talk to our friend here. Brick. Sawyer. Pat's cadillac on the back and he goes back to his beer, Dick Yankovic turns towards the harry and stocky bearded Brick. Who the funk are you? I'm the guy who's been watching you all night bothering Cadillacs girl generally pissing everybody off. Go away, you slob. I don't think so, dipshit, you know who I am? Of course I do. You're the guy who's about to be famous. What do you mean? I already am? You're going to be known as the football player?
Brick Sawyer knocked out with one punch. Who the hell is Brick Sawyer? That would be me motherfucker with blinding speed brick and nails for telling your kovic with an uppercut and he just drops to the floor. Brick glares at his raider teammates who peeled the pro bowl linesman off the floor and throw his arms over their shoulders and take him away. Brick scans the bar until locking eyes with Apollo Samson across the room with fire in his eyes.
Apollo looks away and sits right back down, swirling the ice around the glass with a straw. Hercules Harris opens the trunk of his car and pulls out a large duffel bag with his mobutu zulu gimmick inside and heads for the door, standing outside with a cigarette is to Sean Brown. Hey hear about Tarzan yet, know what's going on he did then. What you talking about? It was in the paper drugs overdose Tarzan. I knew all that blow was gonna catch up to him one day. It wasn't coke. It was heroin.
He does heroin. Yes. You didn't know him like you thought you did. Kunta kinte. Just like I thought you could wrestle by now. Then. I saw you and you steal the ship. Come on sean, give me a break. I didn't choose this gimmick. You a man, ain't you? You do everything to tell you shit. I thought being a slave was just your gimmick. I didn't know it was a shoot. Okay, well, we'll see who the slavers motherfucker. Hercules storms into the locker room when he sees an openly weeping louis.
The greek being consoled by Liz Henderson and marauder number two and is quickly reminded about the Tarzan kid. Get the message on machine. He sounded like he killed himself. Marauder # two responds. And now he was upset. He lost that big bet. Not that sad. Tarzan commit suicide. Sorry, I can't see louis, he was a junkie. That's all. No, he don't take too many drugs. But if I'm not out with lulu, I would have been on. I got to talk him out of it to save his life. There there lou.
There's nothing you can do. Tarzan, You stupid Crow. Why you do this? Oh no. Hey, Herc go straight to the office. Julian wants to see you while he walked into the locker room ready to blast Julian through the wall. Hercules get scared real quick. He's never been called in like this before. You come in. Julian. Herc has already sweating in front of Julian Kane because he can't help but think about corporal punishment but he has to stand up for himself.
You've been doing the mobutu zulu gimmick for some time now. How are you enjoying it today? Of the truth, Julian, this gimmick, it ain't working out for me. You don't like playing this african in the middle of car, do you? I've heard your complaints. Well it's not that I'm complaining, I'm grateful to have a spot at all, nope, it's too late. We need to make changes. Starting with you no more playing the mid card african. Really, what a relief.
I mean even hauling this heavy as gimmick around is, you're going to be the main event african. Say what? I'm moving up the card mobutu. Hercules is blindsided and doesn't even know how to feel little and respond. Empire mania two. The american viking thor Hansen versus the african nightmare mobutu zulu Lord are you serious?
Yes, 1985 has been just as big as I knew it would be, thor Hansen is a machine selling t shirts like hotcakes selling out 10 and 15,000 seat arenas every night and to feed that machine, he needs heals and you are the perfect opponent for him. A filthy african straight from the jungle. A non english speaking beast. The complete opposite of the guy who represents everything good about America. Oh right.
You're not only going to be rich beyond your wildest dreams, but you're going to be integral to the BWf moving forward. You're one of my guys now. Anything zulu wants, zulu gets, you want drugs. I'll get your drugs. You want a higher class of girls than the rats on the road. I'll get you the girls, you name it, you got it. I don't know what to say. Good and go out and celebrate. Find the youngest rat you can get and funk the shit out of her with your big black spear. You deserve it.
Okay, He and there's one thing I want to talk to you about anything. Um, how do I see this close? The show is my final word. We all read the papers that E. W. F. Wrestler Tarzan kid died from a heroin overdose. We've never heard of any kind of drug abuse in the world of wrestling up until now, but I'm not surprised when you're dealing with this class of degenerates.
We shouldn't be shocked at what kind of perversions and deviancy these men will stoop to after all, they're scam artists for a living. Maybe it's time we start our own investigation on drug use and wrestling after all, If this Tarzan kid was using heroin enough to overdose. It only makes sense. There's more where that came from. Hmm, Let us know by sending in your post cards and letters to abc news exposed with Michael slug.
It's been days since the buffalo Bills lost and Tarzan found his whole of gambling debts was suddenly as big as the stadium where vince Ferragamo with the final seconds of that game knowing Dragons guys would likely come to the spectrum in philadelphia. Tarzan no, showed has been on the lam ever since Tarzan grew up in the red hook section of Brooklyn in a home. No one would know and even fewer know. His mother still lives at the apartment with no one in sight.
Tarzan finds the spare key on top of the doorframe where she always left the key for him. Are you home? He walked through his childhood home and looks at the cuckoo clock on the wall. The old bags at church. She'll be gone all day. He rummages through the kitchen looking for the gun, he left for her since the old man died, gone, probably pawned to pay for bingo at the church. He stops at a mirror and looks at his face, the same mirror that was too high for him as a child.
And as he became a teenager would pop zits in, he looks at his 28 year old mug that now looks 50 pale and withered from not sleeping the past few days and sleeping with one eye open for weeks and weeks, they find me here. She's dead dragging others down with me if I'm going down, I'm going alone. You hear me, motherfucker's not gonna suck, my mother not gonna funk louis, Fuck louis louis, you've been covering my asset work for years hey man shit louis louis pick up man ship.
I'm really into it now. Some heavy every ship. Greek fucking me up. I don't think that's too good for my health if I don't you know? Uh Anyway just uh thanks for giving me a shot with the intercontinental belt, appreciate it. I had a pretty good run. Alright yeah South Spinelli. You're my only hope. It's gotta be sound. Yeah. Yeah sal motherfucker Tarzan. Where the car? You the streets are crawling with soldiers looking for your ass. I know I saw him at my place.
I've been on the streets, I'm on the land. Can I crash at your place? You know? You need to find Oregonian. Pay him off. I know sal but I don't get it. How much? It's 100 grand. Plus the vig. What the funk have you done? So what? You got your money? Your place in the bank? Where is it? I'm sorry brother, but I don't got it. Is there any way you can spot me the dough for 100 grand? You need your head examined. Listen to me. This is the end of the line.
I don't got any more moves, louis wouldn't give me a drawer, Julian wouldn't give me the belt. I mean I know there's a lot but we go way back so remember how I put you over in your last days in the ring? No, I put you over the old man wanted you to get the rub from beating me? Oh right well there must have been something I did for you. You gotta help me. I'm a dead man. Just name it. Alright listen might be setting up shop in Puerto rico Doing what Gambling? Who's wrestling?
I've been talking to one Rivera and the crew. He's trying to pull back and wants a partner to take over. What do you need? You come down with me, help me run it. Be one of the top guys. That's how you can work this off. You got it sal count me in. It means you got to leave new york. No ship they don't want me here anymore anyway. I mean the empire Julian ain't gonna let you work, Puerto, rico dates. You're gonna have to quit.
Shit for How long do you really think you're in a position to negotiate? Okay, okay you're right shit man. We had like a cartoon coming out and ship what the fuck I'm out then help me out sale and I'm yours. Okay, I'm gonna send a guy to pick you up, bring you somewhere safe. I don't want any of these guys laying a finger on you before I talk to the big man. Can't you just call dra goni and vouch for me and call it a day already. Did Angelo?
Which is why you've been allowed to live all this time now. Where are you? Can I just call you Angelo? I'm the only one you got right now now. Where the funk are you? I'm at my mother's in Red Hook. I thought she hated you. Yeah, well she don't exactly know I'm here. All right. You stay there. Don't move. I need to get you out of there by tonight, big man. Don't kill you. Your mother will fucking sale. You always crack me up. All right, just sit tight. I'll take care of you like always.
I'll never forget this. I love you man, Tarzan hangs up feeling hopeful for the first time in too long. He looks in the fridge and find some leftover Gabigol and gorges himself before falling asleep on the recliner in the living room ma ma, is that you? I didn't mean to just show up. No, Tarzan, it ain't your mother. What the fuck? Even groggy.
Tarzan awakens to see vito the fish in his black turtleneck and members only jacket and a few other guys surrounding him pinning him down in the arms of the chair. Well, one of them shakes his fist after hurting it on Tarzan's jaw. Your number's up Tarzan and I begged to be the one to punch a ticket hold him down. Boys, how did you find me who flipped? The only person who knew you were here. You dumb fun. No fucking way sal would sell me out. He's not even with the dragons. Looks like he is now.
No fuck no, you've been a nice regular stream of income for Mr Cooney and a nice trophy to brag about to the other bosses. But at some point you became more trouble than you're worth and he's done with you. As for me, I'm going to get pumped up for this bag, hold him down, struggles and the three guys can't hold him down even in his weakened state until one of the guys from behind a steel pipe on the back of his head. They never let you Tarzan.
What kind of piece of kingship could have the keys to the kingdom. A big star on tv wrestling at Madison Square Garden. The same ring that Dominic Dante wrestled in and could still fuck it up. You don't deserve the life. You have not here, take me somewhere, not my mother's house again. That ain't my fault. You're the one who hit here now. Mrs Tarzan's gonna get the best surprise when she comes home to see her little boy. No, please. You ever tried heroin before?
Mr Giacconi hates the stuff but have the junkies we shake down are all hooked on this ship. What better way to get rid of it than to give you this whole bag all at once. They tear his jacket off and hold his arm out as big vito starts injecting heroin into the Tarzan kid. One needle at a time. So ends the ballot of the Tarzan kid. This week's deleted scene was Hercules Harris's special request for Julian Kane.
After learning he's in the main event in an incredible display of the political stroke. Hercules now has. If you heard that, it means you are one of the many patrons for Kings of the Ring, and I want to thank you for signing up. You did not hear that scene and you won't find out what Hercules asked Julian until episode 36 and as always, thank you so much for listening to the show and please spread the word about the number one fiction sports podcast in history came to the ring.
