🫶🏻 Meet Scott McNally - Artist and Rocky fan from the UK joins us for episode 133. The heart and soul of this guest jumps through the screen! There’s something different when you just KNOW another person TRULY understands the heart and soul of Rocky. It’s in the eyes, the smile and the time they take for quiet reflection. The word “family” can illicit all sorts of emotions. FAMILY can be “blood” OR it can be “bond” - Either way, the Rocky message showed Scott how to endure through every chapter and every challenge. Rocky taught him who to fight for, who to embrace, who to stand by and who to never let go. Scott truly understands the importance of “family” in whatever form they come! Thank you for joining us Scott. It's plain to see your heart leads wherever you go!

💛 RIP Hulk Hogan with Michael Delss • Memories of Hulk Hogan and Thunderlips will forever be some of the most exciting and unforgettable scenes from our childhood. You'd be hard pressed to find a more energetic and "larger-than-life" performer! Both of these personas were some of the best entertainment Terry Bollea gave to the world. While Terry himself is surrounded by much controversy, it's my hope and wish that his latest convictions transformed his heart and attitudes. Mike and I would like to thank Michael Delss for joining us to celebrate what he contributed to Rocky and WWE - He was truly one of a kind!

🥊 Welcome Back SEAN O'DONNELL! Sean returns to The Rocky Files with updates from his life in Ireland. Here's a guy who’s truly marching through the “keep punching” journey. After some ongoing struggles and honest self-reflection, Sean got up and made some significant changes. With the help of his own "Adrian," Sean credits one lovely lady for the many times she's stood by his side. May we never forget who we were before our troubles came our way. May we surround ourselves with Mickeys and Adrians to guide us along. In Sean's case, that person’s name is Irene. 💜

🥰 Thank you Sean for sharing your story straight from the heart. Each of us can learn from your story and be reminded that the Rocky-way is never far if we simply embrace it. The Rocky Bubble is always here for you in the good and the bad. We love you always! ➡️ You can find Sean O'Donnell on Instagram: @balboa1976 ➡️ Irene Graven: @renerups ___________________________________________________
