Number One With a Bullet (1987)

Can’t wait for Stanguary!

We had a place on oahu called Gussie Lamours and they had mud and jello wrestling as a gimmick. I wanted to post a Pic, but can't.

No mud wrestling but here in the dirtbag south, foxy boxing had a moment among college and black clubs like ten years ago. Boxing is a specific weird fetish of mine so I was here for it.

As far as Phelps goes they made shea wigham his son in the last one so I guess you can stop worrying about tarnishing the legacy of a dead actors character from a show that was made into a movie with 7 sequels

The worst Facebook marketplace scams are when they try to get you to send them money to hold the item for you, never gonna fall for that

I had Leo pointing at the tv moment when watching this. They're on a stoop and then there's a guy with a bike. A week ago I bought a used Schwinn from the early 80s, and the bike in the movie is like the exact model as mine, sitting in my main room while I watch the movie. I paused the movie and put the bike in front of TV to see it had the same reflectors and everything. But movie bike didn't say schwinn. Still a fun, high moment for me.

mud wrestling is having a moment in queer & trans communities. i know of at least 2 trans mud wrestling events (one trans man mud wrestling and one open to anyone trans) that happened in philly last year. the one i attended was a pop up rave in a skatepark. my friend won the wet tshirt contest. that being said, i have never seen it in an actual bar.

Growing up in Daytona Beach we would skip class in Highschool to watch Coleslaw Wrestling that they would have during Bike Week. I think the Coleslaw is just shredded cabbage and water thankfully.

My mother dropped Tom Criuse as an actor when they made Mr. Phelps a villian in the first Mission Impossible movie.

I was a jello wrestler at a sapphic jello wrestling competition in a New Brunswick, Canada gay bar in the 2010s. Jello pectin makes your hair rock hard and is near impossible to rinse out, especially in Canadian winter.

"It gets ya there, it gets ya right there!" while pointing to your neck - up there with the most quoted things my brothers (3 bros!!) and I would say. There was also a commercial where a guy in a hardhat said "Smells like petunias!" That got a lot of repeats. And then there's gold bond... oh gold bond.

So excited for Ben’s jeep journey, please keep us updated. Make sure you get the 4.0 I6, they’re badass.

Ive never seen mud wrestling but I did get asked by the guys on my wrestling team to do the math on how much jello will fill a kiddie pool and then they didn't actually invite me to the jello wrestling kegger they all got in a ton of trouble for.

Please communicate to Captain Podcast 👏🏿🫶🏿👐🏿🤌🏿🤞🏿🫵🏿 and give a gentle reminder to keep his bionic heart clock set to GMT.

The moment they said quip I already knew that quim would not be far behind

When I was 21 me and a buddy saw a flyer for mud wrestling at one of our local strip clubs in Dayton Ohio. Free admissions if you showed up before 8. We were broke and bored and showed up at 8 and got in and there was a giant inflatable pool they were filling up with some water and then some bags of dirt. But the mud wrestling didn’t start til 1230. There’s no one else in there besides us and the strippers and we had no money to spend before the wrestling so we left.

The most interesting thing about this movie was after it was over Tubi autoplayed a movie called Keaton’s Cop with Lee Majors, Don Rickles and Abe Vigoda with Majors playing the “young” cop.

I did a self-tape audition for Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls, which was the first time I ever did one of those, and while it’s great that I could choose the take I wanted, I ended up hating every single one of them. It was for the role of the guy that kills Pedro Pascal about a minute into the movie, and they went older and creepier with it, which I can’t be TOO upset about. I ended up being Matt Damon’s stand-in on that one for like the three days he was there, and was around for a few more days on top of that, including a day when Miley Cyrus stopped in for a cameo. What a big nothing of a movie that turned out to be, though.

They are so right about the road infrastructure in Dallas. It many bike lanes or walking trails that’ll connect you to other parts of Dallas. Not a lot of trains to take you here or there as well.

It sounds like the Boyz' audio tracks get a little misaligned on the timeline toward the end of the episode. I noticed it somewhere before the 2:20 mark, where it starts to alternate between long pauses with nobody speaking, and pileups with everyone speaking at once. Crosstalk is natural, but this seems artificial.

My old favorite barcade had jello wrestling for the women's roller derby team. But never had mud wrestling.

*donald Trump voice* China

Idk if the guys mentioned this ep dropped on Billy’s 89th birthday but he was definitely a thinker, “In late 2019, Williams talked about his feminine side in an interview, and used masculine and feminine pronouns to refer to himself. Media outlets speculated that Williams might be gender fluid, but he clarified that he was referring to anima and animus: the feminine side of men and the masculine side of women in Jungian psychology.

The Mudqueens in Chicago was thriving from at least 2009-2019. Everyone had WWF style personas and gimmicks. A live band would play while they wrestled. It was independent, run by women. I had a lot of friends who wrestled. Each event had a cool poster with an illustration of one of the characters. https://www.vice.com/en/article/inside-an-underground-womens-mud-wrestling-ring-in-chicago/

Okay, I just saw that the Rewatchables episode this week is on “Eddie and the Cruisers”. The Ringer continuing to blatantly “Borrow” from you guys.

I've seen mud/oil wrestling in a bar when I was in the Navy stationed at Oahu: Gussie L'amour's! Bar was located under an overpass

My favorite line was “I was just on the toilet, thinking of you guys. Ain’t life a bitch?”

Sorry—I just have to share this comment I saw: “Iran is playing 4D chess. Trump is eating his checkers.” LMFAO

Was there a mud wrestling scene in Knightriders? Because I saw ladies mud wrestling as a kid at the Renn Faire on NY. The whole Renn Faire is a lot less debaucherous nowadays so I don't think they do it anymore.

You guys trying to predict what happened to the nerds after II. Well there was a Revenge of The Nerds III, and Lewis does become a greedy tech sellout. But it’s the typical trope from that time period where the sellout sees the error of their ways, and gets back to their roots.

Come on in, I'll make you some pancakes!

I’ve seen mud wrestling at a venue in college but it was an event, not like a day-to-day thing like cock fighting in the back of Filipino bars. It looks painful.

Took an upper decker in the rafters with sting. Call that a stinger splash

Jamba Juice Tropical Passion with a vitamin boost was my shit after rolling all night. Back in day, Jamba and ecstasy went together like Newports and cocaine.

I also enjoyed the Black Breakfast TV transfer on YouTube. Like Stanger, I also couldn’t stop saying it. I kept thinking of Trump’s cognitive test if he did it real time in his office with a Secret Service agent in the room, a McGriddle in his hand, and Fox News on.

Re: Ben’s jeep excursion: I’ve bought all the cars I’ve owned over the past decade from Craigslist or FB marketplace and unfortunately it isn’t what it used to be. I used to be able to find beat up old cars that ended up being very reliable after some work, and even met some really cool, genuine people. Had to give up on that this year as I tried to buy another cheap Toyota or Honda, because literally everyone on that app either won’t respond, are selling a fake car that you can see other listings of, or is a complete scammer who may rob you if you try to meet. Like everything else, online marketplaces for broke people trying to buy things they can afford have gotten so much worse. Good luck on the jeep quest Ben, you may find someone decent out there. (Oh and try to get a 90s Cherokee with the boxy body, inline 6 engine, those are the most reliable cherokees. Later models are horrible)

Wanna see something wild, check out the interview Letterman does with Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli where she discusses dating Paul Schafer as a teenager. Paul looks like he'd rather be anywhere else, very weird.

Cock it n pull it.

I watched “No Dead Heroes” all the way through thinking it was the right movie.

Wouldn't be super shocked if Little Richard made the pompadour popular in the 50's.

I appreciate the auditioning shit the Boyz are going through. We have to do the same shit with trailer music. A studio marketing exec will have a song idea for a trailer and then have 2-3 trailer shops get versions of it and those shops each get 2-3 publishers to do versions of it. And it's always an idea on Friday due on monday. So by Monday morning we've done 2 versions of it with different composers just in case someone has to bail on it. Now the exec is listening to 15 versions of the same song in very similar trailer remix styles. And we also don't get paid if the music doesn't get used.

just bleached my hair earlier this week, everyone should do it

My colonoscopy hot tip: skip the anesthesia. It normally doesn't hurt and after the procedure you can get on with your day.

Adding on to the colonoscopy PSA: recently turned 50 and had my first one. They cutout 3 polyps. Apparently anything larger than 10mm is considered large. Mine were 8mm, 15mm, and 25mm (almost an inch). They said the big one had probably been growing for over a decade. No family history. My doc said colorectal cancer rates among Gen X are indeed off the charts, possibly due to us being the first generation raised on massively processed and preservative-filled food. They also said removing those polyps reduced my chance of colorectal cancer by 60-70%, and put me on a short-cycle to come back in 3 years. Get your colonoscopies done!

This movie was a love letter to putting people in handcuffs.

Sounds terrible!

Once again Stanger’s drunk impression kills!

I was a huge Lizzie McGuire fan and a huge Kill Bill fan at age ~12 (and still am). Love those Carradine boys RIP

I wish Frank and Joe from Samurai Cop were in this. I have never seen mud wrestling at a bar but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were biker bars in the 80s that had it. Good question though! I’m really curious as well.

i’m with stanger on the eddie and the cruisers thing. was on tv a lot!

1:50:47 “Men 45 and older, if you care about your health and living a long life for your family, schedule that A-to-M test with your doctor today. This has been a public service announcement from The Action Boyz.”

Feels like Ben was in Beaumont, CA based on his description

Quality film

I’m naming my next restaurant “Steam” uh what food does it sell? Who da fuck knows… 🤬🛢️👉🏼

This film left me with a new appreciation for Mel Gibson. Seriously, you need an actor with star charisma to make Carradine's obnoxious behaviour even vaguely palatable. Although even Mad Mel would have had a hard time selling Caradine's cockblocking of poor Billy Dee Williams. On the plus side, the Billy Dee demolition derby at the scrapyard was a fun action beat. So that's something.

I’m halfway thru and I second the “biggest asshole protagonist” vote. I did enjoy the guy who says “I shot a lot of guys with a shotgun, always wondered what it felt like. It SUCKS” lol

I knew this day would come. Action Boyz, Cannon Movie!, Billy Dee Williams!!!, Robert Carradine!!!!, Coked up 80's Action!!!!. FUCK And YES!!! I've just snarfed. 🤘

Probably some of the least likeable protagonists in Action Boyz history. They can't all be Kuffs.
