By The Sandwich
Woo damn! Ephedrine is some strong ass shiznit! Okay, so here I am, sitting in my reinforced chair, desperately trying to fight my heavy eyelids from closing and rendering me into a hibernation. Fat people do not sleep, they hibernate. So, I took some Dexatrim to keep me awake. Yeah, I’ve fallen asleep during all kinds of important events -- interviews, business meetings, IRS audits and even while pounding off. Staying not only awake, but alive and coherent is vital. If I don’t keep myself from passing out, all 570 pounds of my carcass would fall helplessly as my massive melon slams onto the pavement and thereby reverberating so fiercely my double chin chokes me off at the neck! Scary stuff.
Speaking of sex, I admit waxing ass is the primary goal of my life next to eating and getting more fat. I’m over a quarter-ton these days, but where obesity used to be a problem, I think it’s gonna be a worthy trait now that our country has made no qualms about nuclear war. Think about it, sucka. If 3500 calories equal one pound of blubber, and a man can sustain life with 2000 calories a day, that means if the “big one” was dropped, I could live for almost 1.5 years directly off my 300 pounds of extra blubber!
Perhaps getting high and living off one’s fat ass during nuclear winter isn’t a good analogy to elucidate how Eddie Robinson, former top IFBB pro bodybuilder, has managed to survive an abusive childhood, become one of the best bodybuilders of all time, and still manage to maintain dignity and intelligence. But, hey, I’m an idiot -- a total contrast to Eddie Robinson, who is a really nice dude.
In all honesty, Robinson makes me jealous. The chiseled jaw line, good looks, and champion physique. During this interview, I thought I had redeemed my fat jealous self when Eddie admitted to only waxing five asses in his whole life! Unfortunately, my playa hatin’ world came crashing down when he denied ever barfing during sex.
Well, I have barfed during sex, and did so when I was having sex with none other than myself.
| TS: | Well, well, Eddie Robinson. How have you been since your retirement, dude? |
| ER: | I’ve been good, thanks man. Home life is going well. I’ve been raising my one year old boy, Seth, and spending time with the kids, baseball practice, karate, and that good stuff. In my free time, I do a lot with the Dream Center in Tampa Bay, which helps take care of the homeless and needy. |
| TS: | (Raises unibrow) No shit? Eddie Robinson the philanthropist? We’ll have to get into that, but first, why did you retire? |
| ER: | After twelve years of bodybuilding the sport has changed drastically. Before it was basic anabolics, but the sport just got too overwhelmed with shit like growth hormone, IGF 1, and synthol. I don’t mind using a little bit of anabolics that were prescribed by my doctor to get ready for a show, but that’s Kool Aid compared to what guys are doing nowadays. Today the big boys are off more extreme things, and my limitations were not to use those drugs. I have a lot of respect for these guys, they’re training hard and all, but I am not into risking my health. I’m sure I could load up on those drugs, but I won’t and the bottom line is it’s not fair playing ground for guys like me who only would use small amounts. That’s one reason I retired. |
| TS: | You’ve always had a thick, powerful look to your physique, so I am surprised you never got into GH. Why has pro bodybuilding taken itself into the realm of protracted suicide with insane drug abuse? |
| ER: | That’s the first thing, and you gotta take it right to the IFBB. I’m sorry, but I have to point the finger at who’s in charge: Ben Weider and Wayne DeMilia. They know the sport is getting out of hand, the health problems athletes are having, and can see a lot of guys getting busted for shit, yet they don’t do anything about it! You see all these articles about bodybuilding accepted into the IOC. What the hell are they trying to!? First of all we gotta clean it up. And if you want to clean up the sport of bodybuilding, you gotta start with the top dogs, and that’s us. Yeah, would it be a big change to the sport? Most definitely it would. Will it give respect back to the sport? Hell yes it would! My main concern right now is the kids who idolize these big bodybuilders, but yet they don’t really know about the shit load of drugs being used. When they end up getting deep into the sport, they end up abusing drugs, and it’s ruined a lot of lives. I’ve lost a lot of respect telling others I am a pro bodybuilder, because people look at me now as being a drug monster. I don’t want to be classified as that. It’s upsetting to me to see which way the sport has gone. I have a great deal of respect for the sport and the athletes, but the IFBB need to make a change. They need to look out for the well being of the athletes and their health. We need to start drug testing. |
| TS: | When did the sport start to get out of hand? |
| ER: | Back when I first got my pro card in the early 90’s, drug use really wasn’t that out of hand. I noticed from ‘92 on to 2002, with the introduction of GH, insulin -- you name it -- its gone ballistic. |
| TS: | What will it take to change the sport from killing itself? |
| ER: | I don’t know, but it has to go back to the beginning. Momo Benaziza’s death? They swept that right under the carpet. Everybody knows he was in insulin shock. He took insulin, went back to his room, fell into a coma, and died. Of course, diuretics played a part, but it was a combination of a lot of things and the symptoms were there. Same with Andreas Munzer. The guy took so much stuff, I don’t know what to believe, but they sweep it all under the carpet. There’s a lot of athletes that have health problems. What are you gonna do? You reach this level, are making money, have a nice contract, and don’t want to lose it. The pressure is on, not only from your contract but also from the fans. These guys are forced to stay on high cycles year round. Promoters want you to guest pose, you always want to look your best, and so you’re under the gun constantly. It is the pressure the athlete is getting from the promoters and judges because that’s what they want -- a freak. The Barry Demey’s, the Bob Paris’ -- they’re gone. You’ll never see a physique really bring down the house any more, because you have to have arms bigger than your head. It’s not a work of art any more like it was when I got involved in 80’s. You had to look good, and most of all you had to look healthy. |
| TS: | I admit seeing freaks like Ronnie Coleman is very impressive, but I never would want to look like that. Some of the top bodybuilders break out into a massive sweat just sitting on a chair signing autographs at an expo, so its a little disturbing on the other hand. |
| ER: | I think a lot has to do with the money to be made from the sport, but a lot of these guys don’t have a wife and kids. They really don’t see the big picture. They live for themselves and have no responsibility, which is fine. Look at the picture through my eyes, though, and you’ll know why I retired. I wake up every morning and feed my baby boy -- he’s one year old now -- Then I get my little girl ready for school, drop her off, give her a kiss goodbye, and she always says, I love you, I love you! (Pausing) That stuff is so sacred and means so much to me, man, I can’t sacrifice my health. I want to see my kids’ grandkids, you know? Realistically it’s worthless to do that shit! Sooner or later, the drugs abuse will catch up to you. By the time you get to be an old man, it’s gonna be pathetic. I’m not down on my sport or negativity, but reality is reality. I will not die for a trophy and a contract while my kids grow up without a father. |
| TS: | I can tell you’re not down with the controversy, but look at it this way, if its never openly discussed, debated and eventually resolved, the sport we all love is going to die, taking the athletes down right with them. So, continuing, what are your thoughts on the judging problem. |
| ER: | I think the judges are doing their job. If Wayne and them want freaks, the judges are gonna look for the freaks. That’s the bottom line. Not to mention any names, I told them I no longer want to compete on drugs of any kind, so what’s the chances of having a clean show? Those of us who don’t want to do this stuff won’t have to, and there will be some fairness. My reply was, That would never work. If you don’t want to do it anymore, fine, walk away. There’s another guy in line ready to take your place. They didn’t want to do a drug free show because it would be the good guy, clean athletes against the bad guy, drugged up ones in the Federation. They didn’t want to play that route. They didn’t want to hear what I had to say about the drug testing. After that conversation, I told them, Don’t even send me my pro card. I’m not gonna compete any more. I threw the towel in then. One man can’t make a stand and change the sport. It takes a bunch of people together to do it. |
| TS: | With ego’s dictating the behavior of some athletes, I doubt it’ll happen in our lifetime. |
| ER: | I want to tell you something: we have a lot of great champions competing right now in the sport of bodybuilding. Our Olympia would probably still be Mr. Olympia, clean or not. Physiques are gonna be different, yes, but the genetics are genetics. It’s just that I feel in order for the sport to get recognition, respect, popularity, and endorsement, they’ll have to do something about the drug scene. Back in the day, I appeared on many covers, and I sent ‘em to my grandmother and family up north. They were impressed, but thought I was a drug monster like the rest of ‘em. That’s kind of embarrassing and insulting. That hurt my pride a lot, you know? |
| TS: | You mentioned earlier about the change in physiques and by relation, escalated drug use in ’92. That was the same here when Dorian rose to prominence. Did he do more harm than good? |
| ER: | Dorian, who is a very intelligent man, brought the freakiness to the sport. Dorian got the inside scoop, knew how to cycle things right, and put it all together. He let the cat out of the bag on what he was doing, and everybody jumped on the bandwagon and started doing it. |
| TS: | What was the big fat cat in Dorian’s bag of tricks for that ass? |
| ER: | Excuse me? Did you say that ass? |
| TS: | (Pauses) Yes. Sorry, I’m a little faded right now, bro. |
| ER: | (Clears throat and chuckles) Well, whatever you say, bro. I don’t know exactly what he was using, but back then when the athletes started to explode in size was when insulin became the big deal. And, there’s a lot of other different shit out there that I know nothing about! I care not to, really. I’ve heard so many different stories about what they’re taking, but I live in a small town in Safety Harbor, Florida where I keep myself away from everybody to raise my new boy and daughter. |
| TS: | What would Eddie Robinson’s bag of tricks be for that (hesitates) -- I mean, your results? |
| ER: | When I would get ready for a show, I’d go talk to my doctor, and he’d put me on a little Deca, and a little Winstrol, boom, I was ready and good to go. He would monitor my health, put me on some HCG to get my system kicked back in when I was off, and I would be fine. I tell you what, with what I was taking, I would be playing peewee football, drug wise, against the big leagues. You’re just not gonna be able to play. |
| TS: | How did you get into bodybuilding and what was your first steroid stack? |
| ER: | I got involved in bodybuilding back in ’82 or so. I just started training in a gym, and worked construction at the time with a couple of buddies. I was pretty much supposed to be power lifting. I was always naturally strong in high school: I had a four hundred pound bench shirt, and four fifty my sophomore year. Then when my career started I’m taking a juniors’ world record and hold the men’s world record in the bench press, which was a 575 pound and 612 pound bench press. I was able to do those without any drugs, but when I got on the shit, man, my bench went through the roof! But, I was always naturally strong, had natural genetics, short muscle bellies, and overall physique where I could be a champion. I competed natural in my first shows, and did them as a hobby for fun. When I got serious about making a living from the sport, promoters and stuff said I need to take this and that, so I jumped on the bandwagon. My typical dose back then? I would probably take a 200 mg testosterone, some equipoise, and maybe some D-bol, and that would be about it. |
| TS: | (Laugh) Man, that ain’t shit. You’d be considered a steroid baby with doses like that. |
| ER: | Yeah, but back then that’s all we needed. After I got my pro card and on my first pro show, I went into the drug tested 1990 Olympia, which was great! I was so astounded -- this was a great thing! I was all for it because I knew what I could do as a natural bodybuilder. So I went stage using nothing, and I placed in the top ten. That’s when Haney won. After the show, some guys were suspended, because they failed the test, and all the people who passed it, come to find out, were taking Defend, a drug masking agent! Everybody in LA all knew what to do so they all had it all under control. But the little guy in Florida didn’t get the scoop of what was going on, and they told me, You should have used Defend! You could have gotten on some stuff and gotten away with it! But that kind of upset me too. I worked so hard for that Olympia, man. There were a lot of sleepless nights, and a lot of praying. I had my heart into it. Just to know that I was on stage with a lot of guys who were actually taking this shit and masking it and I went there straight up, it put a bad taste in my mouth. That night after the show, Vince McMahan gave me a call and said, I’m coming out with my own bodybuilding Federation. Do you want to join? And you know what? I didn’t hesitate. Sign me up. If you’re in the drug testing the shows, then I’m your man. |
| TS: | What was it like in WBF? |
| ER: | The WBF was awesome. Vince McMahan had a good idea, a good strategy of taking bodybuilders and making them into larger than life characters. I was “Major Guns” Eddie Robinson. We had “Jet Man” Tony Peterson, and “Iron Warrior” Mike Christian. It was so theatrical that people were on the edge of their seats! They didn’t know what was gonna happen. I came out of a wall of fire with an M 16 shooting ninjas out of the ceiling. It was some cool shit! And you know what was good about it? I remember walking out on that stage, coming down that runway, and seeing hundreds and hundreds of kids, eight years old, watching their faces light up. That really stands out just seeing that, because it was entertaining to them. We were actually comic book heroes coming to life. It was an awesome experience. The main thing is, it was fun. It was entertaining. That’s what I miss about it. Vince McMahan treated athletes like kings. |
| TS: | Difference between Vince McMahon’s way of doing business and IFBB’s? |
| ER: | Lately with the IFBB, if you’re not top dog, you gotta pay your own way to the show, first of all. In the Olympia, even if you are a pro, you don’t get free comp tickets. It’s not like football where they’ll give you six or twelve for your family to come watch the game. You don’t have a limo picking you up, for Pete’s sake. You’re lucky to get a taxi! Of course you get your hundred dollars per diem for food expenses, but that’s about it. The way Vince treated us was just so awesome. That’s what really impressed me. When I got off at the airport there was always a limo driver holding a sign with my name up on it. I had a stretch limo booked to take me wherever I wanted to go. When I checked into my room, Vince would always have a big fruit basket sitting there for all the athletes, our daily itinerary of photo shoots, appearances, radio spots, and when we are gonna do TV. It was so professional and polished. It was unbelievable. |
| TS: | (Chuckles) Sounds like you guys were treated like real professional athletes. |
| ER: | Exactly! That’s why I have a great deal of respect for Vince McMahan. He is a businessman, and why he has the empire he has. |
| TS: | Why don’t the Weider’s and the IFBB offer similar treatment? They’re stock is stuck in the shithouse, but they still have considerable resources. |
| ER: | They can answer that question, I don’t know. Joe always took good care of me and I have a great deal of respect for Joe Weider. He always came through and gave me what I wanted. Yes, when I talk to Joe, he’s sad about the sport, too. Joe is a bodybuilder at heart, but the sport is out of his hands. I don’t think Joe calls any shots at all in the sport, and works mostly with his publication and nutrition line. |
| TS: | David Dearth recently did an interview with us at MD, and expressed some hard feelings towards the billionaire bad ass, Vince McMahon, and the WBF project. |
| ER: | A lot of the athletes were unhappy and hating Vince. I want to tell you something: If you pass the test, then you got paid. If you failed the test, then you didn’t get paid. You can’t get pissed off at somebody because they’re not gonna pay you because you didn’t play the game. Vince said, You guys fail the test, and you’re gonna get a four month suspension without pay. They wouldn’t get off the shit, so Vince got pissed off and ended the Federation. He said, I need team players. I can’t have five or six guys staying clean and everybody else failing the test. He wanted to put a clean Federation. He couldn’t afford any of us getting busted for possession or buying or whatever. He didn’t want that mess coming on the Federation. He didn’t need that. That’s why he wanted to make us characters, make it more theatrical and fun and entertaining. Even though we all had good physiques, he wanted to show a natural image. It just blew up in his face. That’s why he washed his hands with it. |
| TS: | With all due respect, get the fuck out of here, dude! FLEX magazine (McGough, Oct. 93) had written about the WBF being a “catalogue of disaster,” and Vince ended up kissing Weider’s ass after Vince got his kicked! |
| ER: | Bro, when we had our show pay per view, the ratings were unbelievable! He cranked, he made some good money off that. It did very well. It folded because Vince folded it. Not only were some of the athletes failing the anabolic test, they were getting caught with recreational drugs also. With Vince you didn’t know when you were going to be tested. You can be at Denny’s at six o’clock in the morning and the guy will come up and say, Hey, Eddie Robinson? Come with me, I got a sample kit. I gotta take your urine. Right there on the spot. And if you didn’t do it, you automatically failed the test. That’s how Vince was. He was serious and wanted to keep it clean. |
| TS: | I agree, dude. Whatever happened with the WBF, at least Vince put up the money for drug testing that, for some reason, the IFBB claims is too expensive. |
| ER: | I heard that a million times from IFBB! You don’t have to test everybody. Test the winner’s circle. If they fail, you fuckin’ fine ‘em and you suspend ‘em for two to three years, man. They’re afraid to do it and don’t want to because bodybuilding’s a big money maker and they don’t want to lose the money. The IFBB knows the sport is gonna take a big dive from drug testing, but it’s gonna be good in the long run. You’ll have to start it over. Where’s bodybuilding gonna go right now? I think about it every day. I watched the Arnold Classic, and I’m like, h-o-l-y s-h-i-t! I don’t look at it any more as a work of art. I really don’t. I just see the sport as pushing it to the limit with everything. I tell you what, man, I really like a lot of these guys. I really do. There’s not a Wednesday night or a Sunday day in church that I don’t say a prayer for some of these athletes. Because I know they’re under the gun and they’re doing what they have to do, have families they gotta provide for, and are trying to stockpile the money so they can retire. I just hope that nothing happens to any of them health wise. It’s rough. It hurts to think about how the sport’s going. |
| TS: | Have you ever had any health problems from bodybuilding? |
| ER: | I’ve never had any health problems. Of course, my testosterone was suppressed, but not much. I worked with some of the best doctors, and kept myself monitored, twice during a cycle and when I got off. I did it professionally. It was my body that I was dealing with. |
| TS: | Are we going to see some of these top bodybuilders dropping dead? |
| ER: | The way it’s going, yes, sooner or later we will. I pray and I hope we don’t. I don’t want to be negative. The sad thing about it, realistically, is we’re gonna see some athletes die at a young age. They’re not gonna live to see their kids grow up and get married and have grandkids. Its very sad. |
| TS: | Some foo’s are saying you look like a pencil neck now when they saw you at the Arnold Classic. Sup? |
| ER: | (Laughs) For one thing, I’m marketing myself in a totally different way than I used to be. I’ve cut my training in half. I’m doing more sports marketing stuff, working with The Home Shopping Network, and more mainstream. To be honest, I don’t like being huge. I didn’t like it. I’m not comfortable with it, and I want to be athletic and fit and look healthy. I still got twenty-inch arms, and I’m sorry that they felt that was small. But I’m not a freak, and don’t classify me as a freak. I’m an athlete. |
| TS: | What type of training you doing these days? |
| ER: | I train pretty much five days a week, but not near as heavy as I used to. I use moderate weight, do cardio, and have more fun in the gym. |
| TS: | Have you ever done any gay hustling? |
| ER: | I hear a lot about that stuff, but if that’s the game they want to play let them go ahead. I have no qualms with it. On the other hand, I have too much respect for myself and I’m not just a piece of meat to go out and make a couple bucks for posing nude for somebody. I’m more valuable than that. |
| TS: | You ever get any offers? |
| ER: | Of course, I get offers every day. On my website I probably get about twenty to thirty a day off my website, www.EddieRobinson.org. But I have to say I am guilty of selling things, because I have sold all my posing trunks from the past twelve years online. But hey, if somebody wants to give me $500 for a bikini, hey, they’re more than welcome to have it. What they do with it -- Don’t tell me! (Laughs) I’d rather not know. |
| TS: | How old where you when you first waxed ass? I still have yet to do it, but am hoping I find some hot ass bitch to wax by the time I am 30 years old. |
| ER: | Oh, goodness, I would say probably the eighth grade. My next-door neighbor. |
| TS: | Yeah? My next-door neighbor has me under restraining order. Did you ever have any orgies or pork groupies at shows? |
| ER: | There’s always been women coming on, of course. You always had people ringing your room at all hours of the night. But throughout all my life I was always a one-woman man. Whoever I was with, I was with. I never screwed around. I had five women in my life -- |
| TS: | (Interrupts) Total!? |
| ER: | Total. I dedicated myself to them. I believe in one person. |
| TS: | (Laughing) No fucking way! |
| ER: | I don’t fuck to fuck. If I’m intimate with somebody, they’re gonna be a piece of my life, somebody I love. If that wasn’t the case, I’d just go ahead and jerk off. There’s a lot of beautiful women out there. I’m not the kind of guy that just screws them and then leaves. You know what? You kinda feel like shit when your’re done anyway. I always had a steady girlfriend for years. I was married a couple of times, and I stayed loyal and faithful to them through the whole thing. |
| TS: | Alright, alright. I guess I had you pegged as something different, so to recap, you are a church going family man, only used minute amounts of juice, are a humanitarian, and have only tapped five asses in your whole life. Now, let me give you a scenario: If you could pork any chick in the fitness industry, who would it be? |
| ER: | Ericca Kern. Without a doubt. I have seen her around 1995 from afar, working booths, watched her compete, and how she interacts with people. She was so caring. I see her talking to big girls at booths (Editor’s Note: TS bursts out laughing), telling them how to lose weight. I see her bond with old ladies crying her eyes out, feeling sorrow for them not being able to lose weight. I see her talk to little kids, and give them stuff. She is such a big-hearted caring girl, she just shines so much. I pretty much fell in love with her the first time I saw her -- |
| TS: | Damn, dude, were you stalking her or something? (Laughs) |
| ER: | Get real. She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I’m looking at the inside more than out. |
| TS: | Hypothetically, what if a female judge came up and said, Hey, if you pork me, I’ll give you a good placing. |
| ER: | (Laughs) Never! I’d say I’m not even going to the damn show. |
| TS: | Ernie Taylor is doing well this season despite the obvious shit that’s going on with his stupid assed triceps. Isn’t Synthol supposed to be banned? |
| ER: | Shit, if they banned it I don’t know what the hell they banned. I’ve seen some of these guys who they look like they just injected it. The site was irritated, red, and it looked abscessed. |
| TS: | Are you proud of pro bodybuilding’s current state? |
| ER: | To be honest, I have to say no, not at all. I’m not saying I’m mad because of drugs in general. I’m just upset with the extreme level of drugs. |
| TS: | Why didn’t you use GH at least? |
| ER: | First of all, I thought that taking growth hormone was waste of money. Why spend that much when I could buy my kids something special or invest in their college? My physique was pretty much fine to me the way it looked. I was happy with it. |
| TS: | Some guys allegedly spending $50,000 a year -- |
| ER: | (Interrupts) Easily. Some athletes are taking eight to twelve IU’s a day. Add that up -- whew! That’s a heavy cycle. When I see these guys’ guts start getting protruding out from GH, I don’t think I want that. If I get that I’d rather do it by drinking a twelve pack of beer a day than fuckin’ injecting growth hormone! |
| TS: | Have you ever touched a penis other than your own? |
| ER: | (Gasps) Man, no! What? Why are you asking questions like this? I don’t understand -- |
| TS: | (Interrupts) How many times a day do you pinch off a loaf? |
| ER: | (Long pause) Son, listen, okay? Before you rudely cut me off again, I was going to say, and I mean it now more than ever, that questions like these -- how often do I pinch off a loaf -- have nothing to do with the interview. Frankly, you know, I find it disgusting and insulting that you’d ask me questions like this. |
| TS: | (Chest begins to tighten up) I’m sorry, dude! Please bear with me. I’m so stoned I am hearing things. I mean, yo, wassup! (Blank stare and pause) |
| ER: | Hmm? |
| TS: | So, Ed, you ever drink too much beer and end up barfing during sex? |
| ER: | (Makes pfft sound with lips) I am not going to go round and round with your sorry self. I don’t like the way this is going. You show no respect (sighs). |
| TS: | Touché’. To each his own. (Long pause, starts rapping) I’m sorry Mrs. Robinson. Wooo! I am for real. Wooo! Never meant to make your daughter cry. Wooo -- |
| ER: | (Interrupts, baffled) What the hell are you doing, man? That’s Mrs. Jackson, not Mrs. Robinson. Umm... |
| TS: | Oh yeah, you’re right! Outkast’s “Mrs. Jackson.” Sorry, I was wigging out on some Dexatrim. |
| ER: | Heh, I was wondering what was wrong with you, man. |
| TS: | You’re right, my bad. I’ll straighten up. (Long pause, drops phone) |
| ER: | You there?! Hello? |
| TS: | Yes, back, sorry. Well, we know a lot about Ed the bodybuilder, but what about your childhood? Tell us about it. |
| ER: | Thank you for the coherent question. (Sighs) Well, I came from a pretty twisted childhood to be honest with you. Back when I was a kid, it was rough. I had an abusive father growing up. I was raised in the projects, and we didn’t have money. I think when you look at that and are raised in that environment, you value life and things a lot more. I know I look at the simple things in life as being the best things. It changed my life where I, you know, don’t take things for granted, and respect people for who they are. |
| TS: | (Pauses, blinking to regain composure) What kind of abuse, dude? |
| ER: | Pretty much verbal. My dad was an alcoholic. I watched my father abuse my mother a lot -- anger, arguments, and beating her. They divorced when I was about fourteen years old. That was it. |
| TS: | (Tilts head to the side, clenching jaw) I’m sorry about bringing up the beer and barfing thing, man, and drilling you on all this shit. Aww, damn! I shouldn’t have taken anything before the interview! I was trying to keep myself awake and I wanted to make sure I didn’t fall asleep and -- |
| ER: | (Interrupts) Bro, it’s okay. I don’t really have anything to blurt out about the sport. I’m just relieved to be out of it. I’m ready to move on to a new chapter in my life. I completed four years of acting school, and I want to try and put my time and my efforts into. I’m also gonna stay involved in the nutrition part by marketing of other athletes. For example, did you know you can broker Larry Bird at $79,000 a day? That’s his price, and that fucker stays busy, believe it or not! Seventy-nine thousand a day. Holy shit! Isn’t that crazy? Larry Bird. He’s not even playing. That gives you an idea of the money that’s involved. That’s pretty much why I want to get into it. |
| TS: | That’s a lot of bread. You can buy nearly 40,000 Big Mac’s with those funds. Speaking of food gives me a boner. Anyway, where can folks reach you online? |
| ER: | I don’t wanna hear about that, man! (Laughing) My website is EddieRobinson.org. |
| TS: | Let’s wrap this mofo up. I’m gonna name some names, and want your unrehearsed reply. First, Flex Wheeler. |
| ER: | I’m very proud of Flex Wheeler. First of all he said that he retired from the sport, which I’m kinda glad. I hope he sticks with it. I’m very impressed with him talking about his faith. |
| TS: | Wayne DeMilia. |
| ER: | Wayne’s doing his job. I wish he would take consideration and look out for our health and well being for our families. I wish Wayne would see the light and try and do everything in his power to try and make a change and turn the sport around. |
| TS: | Britney Spears. |
| ER: | I think she’s washed! I don’t dig her at all. I think she talks too much garbage about her being a virgin all the time. I don’t buy it. Just primping herself as being the goody goody. |
| TS: | Doesn’t bother me one bit. I’d do her in the ass. Anyway, Eddie Robinson. |
| ER: | Probably made the best decision of his life of retiring and dedicating himself to being the best father he can. |
| TS: | Well said. Thanks for the interview, man. Sorry for busting your chops. I need help. |
| ER: | Understood, Sandwich. I am a forgiving and patient man, you know? |
| TS: | Thanks, dude. Any closing thoughts? |
| ER: | I just want everyone to know that just because I’m retired from the competition aspect of the sport does not mean I’m going to disappear. I’m going to stay very active in the industry and I would love to eventually become associated with one of the most well-respected and top quality supplement companies like Met-Rx or WorldWide Nutrition. I also want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support during my long career. |
