On Deadly Ground (1994)
What does it take to change the essence of a man?
It takes the kinda guy you could drop off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. We’re talking about the legendary Forest Taft this week. We’re talking about ON DEADLY GROUND, a true masterpiece.

Was sad that we got no mention of Mac Tonight from the boyz when running down the McDonald's-land cast. Otherwise, great ep!
R. Lee Emery board
Hell yeah
have talked about Dave’s Killer Bread and his crazy life-of-crime story? Shits wild
This is unofficially the 2nd Doughboys crossover.
Wondering how many more times Rodgers will blatantly interrupt Stanger and Gabrus before they finally snap.
someone has to keep this train on the tracks tbh
anyone complain here yet about rodgers saying r lee ermey’s name wrong like 20 times in this? not gonna read a single comment to see if i even need to write this one
I liked it.
I’m a fan of the weekly audio issues, it’s like a nice late pandemic summer treat
So the ending of this was clearly a Billy Jack riff, right? Seagal was clearly expecting everyone to storm out of the theater fired up for change
…Quimforter?
I like to picture Seagal inviting everyone over to watch the Oscar nominations, and being crushed to not be nominated for Best Director. Like that video of Spielberg with Jaws
Drowning is a leading cause of death in children (per the CDC, more children in the US ages 1–4 die from drowning than any other cause of death except birth defects), and infant swim rescue is not as aggressive as Ben made it sound, at least if you go to a halfway decent place.
The guy that did the Billy Bob interview was later fired for sex crimes. And was also in that band Moxy Fruvous, ‘famous’ for the song ‘King of Spain.’
"I'll always be KING OF SPAIN"
1970's Hamburglar is clearly a meth addict. Those teeth don't lie.
Did StangerBot get in the mainframe at the 92 min mark?
Loving all the beverage discussion.
Did anyone else know the slap game as "hot hands"?
Dave from Dave's Killer Bread is an ex convict meth head that "turned his life around" making bread. Then like 5 years ago he relapsed and smashed up a bunch of cop cars in his Escalade. Good times.
So is it killer bread because Dave is a murderer?
The best part of this ep was Gabrus assigning them roles in the movie. At least once a month I think about that Bloodsport story Stanger told about not wanting to be the one guy while they were playing Bloodsport and the fight that broke out in his friend group and then the reveal they were like in highschool.
Idk, laughed my ass off at the Ashli Babbitt toast. Wish I had thought of that at the 4th of July celebration.
Dave's Killer Bread is legit delicious. My dick has never gotten hard from toast before, but that bread with a little Irish butter is splooshtown. Also delicious with grilled cheese. (Not that it matters as Gabrus is probably the only one who eats bread and the other two fruity-ass salad boys never touch the stuff.)
Speaking of weird conflating of McDonalds. In high school the white trash dipshits that worked at my local McDonalds, I knew a few from school, when bitching about work would say "Happiest Place On Earth, my ass!"
those fucking little cigarillos. He goes through two of them in the opening scene, two shots of him lighting up THEN IMMEDIATELY TOSSES IT
Dave Dahl, Dave's Killer Bread dude is an interesting feller. He's a meth addict, been in and out of jail/rehab, took over the family bakery and started pumping out some dope bread.. "not bread on dope" I think that's one of his slogans? I dunno I went down the rabbit hole a few years ago that's what I remember. I heard he had done time, I just wanted to make sure the "killer" part of the name wasn't making light of murder.
Billy bob Thorton was hilarious and best part
His role is like he's playing cards with his brother's kids or somethin
Pretty sure this was the "good old fashioned movie" Trump wanted Greta Thunberg to go see when he rage tweeted at her a couple years ago.
R. Lee Ermey (pronounced er-mee)
“Dirty one for me, Forrest.”
so glad to have some segal
Wild, at 1:32 the audio from 1:18 plays. That's a first for a podcast.
Yeah after the glitch it looped back it seems
I just want to say that this movie is fucking insane. Like easily the most Seagal at his Seagal worst but this truly is insane. The most fucked up part about it is its not just a weird fever dream of a movie because its got no budget. They spent a lot of money, got a lot of solid people in the film, and its just a complete incoherent nightmare with all the hallmarks of classic Seagal. I urge anyone who might skip watching this and just listen to go watch this film. It basically ruined my weekend and is still haunting me this Monday morning.
Around the 90 minute mark, rodgers audio is sped up or jumbled. Anyone else hearing this?
Nevermind, looks like a momentary glitch
Wait, Michael Caine totally doesn’t hit the ground when Seagal bombs the fire in the beginning right?
He 100% does not hit the deck, everyone else including his henchmen cower behind him.
Anyone else think Gabrus smoked weed and forgot to upload the episode? We know Gabrus does smoke weed, and weed can make you forget things. Thoughts? Or maybe Stanger left it in the sauna. Stanger uses the sauna almost every day so that's also pretty likely I think. Maybe he left it in his backyard sauna, but it could be the one at the gym he goes to. I guess Gabrus also could have left it at the gym, since he also works out, but my money's on him being stoned. Or maybe Rodgers left the file on the body he was getting rid of.
Rogers and Stanger were on their tandem Peloton and Gabrus was doing gravity bong hits/zercher squats.
Watched this and Deep Cover last month. Both involve intense games of slaps.
Not to go all “Clerks” on this movie. But Seagal killing anyone with a gun when he’s first infiltrating the drilling station does make me think he had no idea who’s corrupt or not. Any guy just getting a paycheck to guard a refinery could have no idea what McGinely and Ermy are up to, yet get brutally murdered anyway
Eating some Dave's Killer bread as the Boyz talk about it. Time is a flat circle. (Don't tell Stanger I'm eating this early.)
Was anyone else’s reaction this morning, “What did I do wrong?”
Yeah like every morning
*large carrot and two melons*

Showing up just for the hour+ of Seagal impressions. Zero sarcasm.
We got ourselves a podcast episode!
What is this, Planescape Torment !?
Checked the feed first thing this morning, and Patreon was down. Ugh. As I was getting ready for work, the power went out. Couldn’t make coffee… it’s been a harrowing 3 hours. I’m not sure which chemical dependency is more severe… coffee, or Action Boyz?
fuck yeah
