-Hulk Hogan appeared on the Howard Stern show on Thursday morning and the subject of Jesse Ventura immediately came up. "He's so full of shit," Hogan said. "Jesse has worked on these stories for 30 years. Jesse knows just a little bit about a whole lot of things. You should have asked him about Plato's Retreat when he'd come to New York and him and his wife would do all the wive swapping," Hogan said. "You should have asked him about coming to San Francisco running around on quaaludes for 72 hours and then showing up with the same clothes on and pissing in his pants."

-Stern mentioned that Ventura claimed on his show that he never did drugs or smoked pot. "Dude, I smoked pot with Jesse in a hotel room with him and his partner Adrian Adonis."

-Hogan said Brooke was originally contacted about doing Playboy when she was 16. He said Playboy called and asked her to be on the cover of the 55th Anniversary edition. Hulk said he wouldn't be okay with her posing nude, "but at the end of the day Brooke is 20 years old." He said she has to think it through and do the right thing.

-Hulk said he wouldn't look at the photos if she posed. He said he thinks this would be the wrong time for Brooke to pose. Howard brought up the sun tan lotion incident and said he can do that because he's her father.

-Hogan said he's getting the tattoo with Linda Bollea's name removed from his finger. He said he stuck with Linda as long as he did because of the kids.

-Hulk said he was depressed when he and Linda first split up. When asked if he thought about killing himself, Hogan said, "I had some weird thoughts."

-I had minimal insurance," Hogan said regarding Nick's accident. "Linda told my bookkeeper that we didn't want to pay expensive insurance, so we basically had no insurance."

-Hulk said Linda wants all his trademarks, future earnings, and all his money in the divorce.

-When asked if he cheated, Hogan was quiet and was told by his lawyer not to answer. He claims he was going to answer.

Stern asked Hogan if he gets along with the Iron Sheik. "No, he's an idiot," Hogan said. He told Stern to put him on the show anyway. This led to a "f--- you, Hogan," within a matter of seconds. Sheik went into classic rant mode and had nothing but negative things to say. Out of nowhere, he said he'd forgive Hogan. Hulk said he'd forgive Sheik. Hulk said he loves Sheik, and Sheik said he loves Hogan.

-Hogan discussed the Celebrity Wrestling show. He ran through the list of the celebrities. He said Dustin Diamond was one of the best wrestlers, and said Todd Bridges was the best athlete. He said he eliminated Tiffany from the show with his catchphrase: "You're a jabroni. Get out of my ring." He said she was pissed and followed him into the parking lot.

-Hulk said he's been watching WWE closely "just to microscope it."

-Hulk revealed that Frank Stallone became a "full blown drag queen" and found himself during filming of the show.

-Hogan is pimping a new energy granule that has no calories.

-Hogan said he wants to do his own radio show. Howard seemed genuinely interested. Hulk said he wants to do the show out of Bubba The Love Sponge's studio in Florida. They agreed to talk about it later.

-Stern said he'd look at Brooke's nude pictorial if she poses. "You should see her now," Hogan said. He pimped the idea of having Brooke in studio with Howard.

-Howard said he could help Hulk and Linda work out their divorce on the air within an hour. "I'll be back tomorrow," Hogan joked.

Powell's POV: There were some dull moments with Hulk discussing the divorce with Linda, but it was an entertaining interview for the most part. The only really creepy moment was late in the interview when Hulk started telling Howard how great Brooke looks now that she's in shape. The Jesse shots were retaliatory and you could tell that Hulk was looking forward to unloading on Jesse. Hogan did a good job of making himself seem like a nice guy, while making Linda out to be a crazed, money hungry bitch. Well, we know at least half of that is accurate. Special thanks to Jagger K. for hooking me up with audio of the broadcast.
