"Big Show" Helping HIV-Positive South African Children Dec 9, 2013 13:16:54 GMT -5

Tangentially WWE related, but I found this touching, so I thought I'd share.

One of the biggest names in indie-rap, Sage Francis, took an entire year off of touring back in 2011 and spent a lot of that time volunteering in South Africa by mentoring HIV-Positive children.

While at first they were reluctant to interact with him, because of his size and appearance a rumor spread throughout the area that he was actually The Big Show. Once that happened, he ran with it, pretending to be Big Show in the same way some adults pretend to be Santa Claus and the children finally opened up to him.

It's a pretty great story which he tells at the end of my interview with him here - blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2013/12/sage_francis_sick_to_death.php

He can't even pay his mortgage. How can he help other people?

I hope this becomes a trend, and Big Show becomes some kind of anti-HIV Santa Claus figure.

This is awesome. But I gotta admit, two guys I can't imagine getting mixed up are Big Show and Sage Francis. I wonder what other indie rappers would be confused for WWE people?

"She might have 12 times the knowledge and experience of wrestling that I do, but this kid's probably never dropped out of high school & made her parents cry, probably never had to quit being an idol thanks to depression, probably never failed the job interview for an escort club. I got my own 12 years of experience."

"So how old were you when you learned that The Big Show was just Sage Francis?"

I have a podcast "Nothing's Funny with Jeff & Josh". We have a Halloween episode up as of today (October 31st appropriately enough).

And We have a Twitter page as well. @nadafunnypod. Someone already had the handle "NothingsFunny", and @nothingsfunnypod doesn't fit. So we had to use the Spanglish option.
