Hell yeah, brother! This week we bodyslam our way through bleached blond wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's memoir "Hollywood Hulk Hogan." We hop in the ring and discuss WWE fandom culture, eating 25 eggs a day, Vince McMahon, his sex tape and Gawker lawsuit, homoeroticism, inventing wrestling merch, Mr. T’s insecurities, and of course his French chalet-inspired greater Tampa mansion. HULKAMANIA FOREVER!

Join us at the Red Table! This week we finally unpack actress, mother, and metalhead Jada Pinkett Smith's tome, "Worthy." We attempt to process everything from her formative years on the Baltimore streets with Tupac to her middle-aged Ayahuasca journey, and everything in between. We discuss Will Smith, open marriages, alopecia, Scientology, the slap, her film "Set It Off," racism at Ozzfest, and her close friendship with Cesar Millan. PLUS, we discuss the question on everyone’s mind: is Jada gay?
