125. Boxing & Acting with Jack O’Halloran / Super Bowl Week



John and Coleman have an extra long show this week! The guys interview the legend Jack O’Halloran, known for his successful boxing career and for playing some big roles in Hollywood. Jack talks about going toe to toe with George Foreman, beating the crap out of champions, and even almost getting a fight with Muhammad Ali! He also discusses some of his characters that he has played in movies such as Superman 1 and 2 (Non), King Kong (Joe Perko), Dragnet (Emil), Farewell My Lovely (Moose), March or Die (Ivan), and more! Listen to Jack talk about how he slammed Christopher Reeve up against a wall, inspired Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky” character, and the roles he has turned down in some big movies, like James Bond for example! And did you know he has a book?

Sprinkled around the interview, John and Coleman talk about the Super Bowl and everything surrounding it. From the commercials to the halftime show, and from the game itself to Trump being confused as to which state won the game. Also, Coleman went camping! He tells John how much of a struggle the weather and his tent was, despite having a good time overall. We can not thank Mr. Jack O’Halloran enough for taking time out of his busy day to chat with us about all that he has accomplished! Look out in the future for his other books and potentially any motion pictures he may be working on! We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy chatting, laugh with us or at us, and tip your pizza maker!
