Breaking Away (1979)

This movie hits different for cyclists.

The entire riff on running into a friend’s drunk parents in town was so funny and relatable to me

Rodgers describing an actor who is always in a military uniform I pictured the military dad from twin peaks. Sure enough that’s the guy! Don S Davis

So when did Ben become Rosie O’Donnell?

I'm searching for a description for this this movie beyond charming, but dammit this was a very charming coming of age movie. It was also very funny and soulful too. Paul Dooley was excellent as the Dad, he was hilarious but the scene where he walked with his son through the college and talked about building it was quietly moving too. Anyway, it's nice that this podcast turned me onto stuff besides Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson and Cannon ninja movies. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Speaking to the 500 lap challenge, every year in Portland they hold the Ladd 500. A team bike race around the Ladds Addition circle. It is a tiny ass circle, maybe a 10th of a mile and one big party. I use the term race pretty loosely. Worth it if you ever have the chance.

Hey Baction Boyz totally unrelated but has anyone seen this!? https://x.com/todd_spence/status/1970695878760636601?s=46

Quarry talk - younger brother’s JV basketball coach left a legendary answering machine message over the summer - “hey pete, just want to invite you down to the quarry, where I work. We all need to get stronger.” Long pauses, middle age man trying to gather 16 year olds at his quarry, to do ???

How to fix your Instagram algorithm: Long press content you want to hide on your for you page and select not interested. You can also reset the algorithm completely by doing this: go to your Profile > tap the Menu (three-bar icon) > Content preferences > Reset suggested content. They also allow you to snooze suggested posts for 30 days. And if you want to see all the sick stuff you're not interested in. they save it! and you can look at it again. Do this and it will probably break again and you just rinse and repeat.

Kalamazoo mention 🎉🥳🎊🍺🍻

I assume most of my fellow janitors are not regular Pod Meets World listeners, but I highly recommend listening to yesterday’s episode which was an interview with Ernie Reyes Jr. (The Last Dragon, Red Sonja, TMNT). I’m now really hoping we get a Sidekicks Zombie Squad episode

Fuck that mouse.

Two of my cousins graduated from Bemidji State (beh-mij-ee). Fun college town

I love Stanger doing Dean Cain’s hot shot lines from Future Sport, that whole affect cracks me up

Them’s my French fries!

I have to slamdunk this Rodgers Guy after he said Breaking Away is a bad title. Whachu wanna call it whiteboybikemovie?

The drunk 60 year old bit is a great example of 'Shared Monologue'.

I re-listen to episodes, so go ahead and repeat stories all you want.

I'm having chili with impossible ground meat for dinner. I guess I live in the snowpiercer.

If your chick is slapping you around or choking you (nonconsensual) or some shit, get out of the relationship folks! Red flag for murder right there. Bloodflart PSA 🌈

One problem with organ transplant is unless it's a clone of your actual organs, your actual DNA, your immune system will not accept it. Your immune system will reject the organ and attack it with white blood cells, basically dissolving the life saving organ. Immune suppression medicine is needed for most transplants, kidneys being one exception, and even then the immune system will eventually figure out the organ is not supposed to be there. My father is a double lung transplant recipient, so I've gotten a hellova crash course in this stuff.

God damn, I’m here for the stories. Always loved reruns. It’s just Icing on the cake when they talk about the movie

Where are yall getting your celery juice everytime I ask at a grocery store they make fun of me

Hell yeah

Boyz, did you guys ever discuss Lifeguard(1976) on any of the Shadow Wolves? I swear I remember Rodger’s talking about it, but can’t remember the episode that you talked about it on. I bring it up because I just watched it, and absolutely loved it. Couldn’t help but notice while watching it how much the general vibe of it reminded me of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood(Without the violence).

“Hurricane?” is an all timer.

Dear action boys, I was listening to an episode where Stanger was talking about candy, and his lack of self-control. I thought "what a loser ha ha" The following day i got assigned to work at a candy factory. There are trash cans of fun size candy bars that don't meet spec, workers are coming and getting us vendors and saying help "yourself... as many as you want" I think 30 might be how many it took to get things under control.

I was literally thinking of the guy from Weapons when they were bringing up Stangers doppelgängers

This one was kind of a trip because my previous time watching this movie I was the age of the kids and now I'm about the age of the dad. Still love it.

Weirdly, there is a movie called Parts: The Clonus Horror that is the original version of The Island that Stanger mentioned. It came out in the same year as this movie,1979, and introduced clone farms to movies. I only know about it from the MST3K version. Terrible movie but way ahead of the curve.

Living in Bloomington for 29 years it's crazy to see that Little 5 now is basically a week long mardi gras and secondly a bike race

Wild they had this convo BEFORE trump obviously stroked out. This is the first time I actually have hope something will happen

TendSkin does work well, also the Jack Black post-shave cooling gel.

Heard from American friend living in China that basically no regular citizens were able to go to the parade.

From SLATE: The New Hotness The sport of aufguss, or competitive sauna, is full of surprises. Val Verde needs to get a team together.

A movie I had never seen or even heard about but the moment Mooch "punches the clock" it had won me over

Refund!?

I pulled a Stanger and watched American Flyers by mistake

Ciao paPA!
