Joe Rogan (0:00)

, two, one. Hello, Alonzo Bodden.

Alonzo Bodden (0:02)

Joe, I am negative.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

I know, but you're positive.

Alonzo Bodden (0:05)

You're a positive person. I'm a positive person, life is good, but the test is negative, which that's always what you wanna hear after a medical test.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Yeah, basically.

Alonzo Bodden (0:16)

The test is, I'm trying to think, is there any one way you wanna hear the results were positive? I think you always wanna hear, yeah, this one came up negative.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Yeah, how come no diseases ever make us better? There's nothing disease, it's like a Marvel comic book, where you catch it.

Alonzo Bodden (0:31)

Yeah, how come I can't get hit with gamma radiation?

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Right, like what happened to the Hulk and Spider-Man?

Alonzo Bodden (0:36)

Every time I get mad at somebody, just Hulk out.

But you know, they never show everyday things with the Hulk. Suppose he's in a car, right? Now your car, the Hulk just grew, tore up your car, hello, State Farm? Yeah, you're not gonna believe what just happened to my car.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Yeah, the concept of the Hulk that's on all the time annoys the shit out of me. You know that he's the Hulk now constantly, 24 hours a day?

Alonzo Bodden (0:58)

Yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

And then he's smart.

Alonzo Bodden (0:59)

Right, the intelligent Hulk.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Come on, so he's Bruce Banner all the time. He's Bruce Banner, but he's also the Hulk.

Alonzo Bodden (1:07)

I am, I'm-

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Fuck.

Alonzo Bodden (1:09)

We were talking about reading, which is what I'm doing now. And I got this book, it's like 10 years of the Hulk.

It's like a thousand pages of Hulk comics.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Jesus.

Alonzo Bodden (1:18)

A 10 year run. And the story is, it's great. It's the Grey Hulk, who was smart.

But not like the movie one, but he was smarter than the regular one.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Oh really?

Alonzo Bodden (1:29)

He would only change at night like a vampire, like a werewolf.

Yeah. So it's like, hey, this is how much free time I have, Joe.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

Well, I think the new Hulk, they probably missed Mark Ruffalo's acting.

He's such a good actor. And they didn't have enough room for him to just, I mean, there's so many people in that movie, right? You got Captain America, you got all these fucking people. You got Iron Man.

They probably were like, Mark Ruffalo's just not talking enough. Because most of the time, we need him as the Hulk. So I got an idea. Let's make Mark Ruffalo the Hulk all the time. The Hulk has glasses now. He has fucking glasses. He has glasses. It's so ridiculous. No, the whole idea, you fucks, is supposed to be that he's a really smart guy and then he's basically a monster.

Alonzo Bodden (2:13)

A monster with unlimited strength, like unlimited power. Who talks like Hulk Smash?

Joe Rogan (2:17)

He's not smart.

Alonzo Bodden (2:19)

Right, like in the Thor movie where he's working as a fighter and he has like a room and he's taking baths and stuff like that. What was that movie? Ragnarok?

Joe Rogan (2:28)

I didn't see that one.

Alonzo Bodden (2:30)

You didn't see that one?

Where the Hulk is a fighter, he's like a gladiator, but he's treated like a hero and he has all the gladiator stuff, and it's like, yeah, the Hulk wouldn't be doing that. The Hulk would just be smashing and destroying.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

Yeah, I need to watch that one.

Oh, see, I didn't see this movie. Damn, that looks dope.

Alonzo Bodden (2:48)

Oh, it's fun. Yeah, that's one of the, no, this is one of the funny ones, man. You gotta see that one.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

And so, the Hulk goes to battle, spoiler alert, with Thor?

Alonzo Bodden (2:55)

Yeah, but the Hulk's like a gladiator, and Thor ends up on the island, and Thor ends up in the ring with him.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

But it's dumb Hulk, right? Dumb Hulk's good Hulk, you don't want smart Hulk.

Alonzo Bodden (3:04)

No, he's not fully, he's not scientist Hulk, but he's smart enough to hold conversations.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

What a mismatch that would be if it was real.

Are you fucking kidding me, Thor? Just relax.

Alonzo Bodden (3:16)

I don't, how much did you, how much Marvel were you into growing up?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

Were you into, yeah, I didn't like DC that much, but I was a giant Marvel guy.
