In 2005 I went to see Al Franken's Air America show, which was broadcast live from The New School here in NYC. It was a free taping, so I thought it would be neat.
His guests included Maureen Dowd (cunt), an actress from JAG (hot), a country singer who's name escapes me, and JBL. JBL? Whoa! The auditorium was basically empty to my surprise, so I sat from the 3rd row and watched the show, and JBL told a similar story of being on a USO Tour in Iraq, and trying to "bro-rape" the said country singer (who's name still escapes me) as a rib. He also told every U.S. Soldier that would listen, that said country singer was gay, but to keep quiet about it because it might hurt dude's career.
I got my picture made with Bradshaw that day, and he kept kayfabe when I mentioned I'd seen him wrassle as Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw in '97 in Knoxville.
After the show he was confronted by this couple of elderly bleeding-heart liberals, who took issue at JBL finding "man-rape" to be humorous, as well as using the term "pants-dropper" to describe gay people on the show. As I exited the building after getting the picture below made w/ Mr. Franken, I wanted to eavesdrop on Mr. Bradshaw's debate with the old couple, and as I passed by them out the door I heard JBL utter the classic quoteable:
Now ma'am, I will remind you that some people are offended by the term "redneck"...

As an anecdote to JBL's "man-rape" tendencies...

That is what I absolutely can't understand. That man has at least some modicum of intelligence. He clearly didn't get on stock picking shows because he was just a wrestler and he obviously can carry a sustained argument based on fiscal data and market trends. Why, then, does this person go around talking about "bro-rape" as part of his standard persona? Maybe he came across as a nerd back in his early wrestling days, got ribbed in the locker room a lot, and developed this persona to cope.
