Owen was known for his legendary pranks and Martha said she was not spared from some of his crazy practical jokes.
Martha said, “One thing that he did to me that just drove me crazy was he knew that I was afraid of mice, you know how you have your tea and it’s hooked to the bag and hooked on a string, he would take it and he would tape it into the cupboard, so when I would open the cupboard door, it would swing out at me, just silly harmless things like that, it would just be like, oh my God, just little pranks all the time, you know.
She added, “Oje has a lot of the same sort of humor and characteristics that his dad does. What used to kind of annoy me with Owen I kind of find it endearing in Oje. I like that it’s like ‘oh, okay you got that trait from your dad.’”
During the podcast, Martha talks about her love affair with her late great husband Owen, meeting him at 15-years old, being introduced to the Hart Family, what it was like for Owen when Bret left the WWF in 1997, Owen’s favorite foods and movies, and much more.
