Scott Douglas Jacobsen: You’ve worn a dress on a show before—yeah? With Lance. Would you rather fight with Lance half-naked, quarter-naked, or in a dress?
Rick Rosner: Fighting Lance naked would be funnier, but we decided against it—where would we even show that? I guess I’d be fine either way. I’ve got this older, skinny body now—I don’t love it, but it’s not bad for almost 65. I’ve been buffer. It’s not sagging, but I’ve lost around 20 pounds of muscle.
Still, I can rock a dress. Carole and I share a closet. She’s 5’9″, and I have a fairly slender waist, so some of her stuff fits me. I work out a lot. During the disco era—late 1970s into early 1980s—I even had a pair of women’s disco jeans because they cupped my butt and showed off my package better than men’s jeans. I looked great—until I split them one night, going commando. There just wasn’t room for everything. Not ideal.
Jacobsen: Alright—would you rather run in heels or flip-flops?
Rosner: Neither. I wear three compression socks and a regular sock on each leg for varicose veins. Heels are out—those socks won’t fit. Unless we’re talking cowboy boots. Cowboy boots are fine. But I’m not wearing flip-flops either.
Jacobsen: Would you rather clean up human poo or horse poo?
Rosner: Horse poo. Way less gross—unless the horse is sick.
Jacobsen: I’ve cleaned up a lot of horse poo. It’s not bad. But horse farts? That’s another story. Really awful. Worse than standing next to a smoker outside a club in the rain? Maybe.
