In this heartfelt and high-energy episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes Kevin and Dan back to the studio for a jam-packed conversation.

Dan passionately explains how Hogan didn’t just become a wrestling icon—he saved wrestling, twice.

Kevin offers a thoughtful take on separating Hulk Hogan the character from Terry Bollea the man.They also touch on the recent loss of other cultural icons, including Ozzy Osbourne, Chuck Mangione, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, with Bill humorously noting that the line to Heaven is getting long—and he’s glad his dad got in early.Special guest Steve Bartolotta, founder of the Steel Rail Music Festival in Fairport, joins to share how this incredible local music fest came to life.
