Hell yeah
Re: Texas winning us ww2. My brother in law just graduated from the army and my wife and went to the ceremony this spring. I shit you not 100% of the outstanding performers and best shot winners were from Texas.
They compete against each other for the Charles Whitman Prize.
I thought Kirstie Alley's love interest on Cheers was played by Kyle McLaughlin too. It turns out there is an actor names Roger Rees who looked EXACTLY like him.
Never heard of Hands on a Hardbody and I’ll have to check it out. I did appreciate that the boyz did feel bad for the contestants during this viewing. Poverty exploitation contests have been around forever. Look up depression era dance marathons if you want to be sad.
Speaking of tats - My buddy has the New Jersey outline in his armpit. Incredibly painful and he had to shave, but he still says it was totally worth it.
Great episode, great doc.
Two things about hands on a hardbody. 1) it was produced my j.k. Livin meaning this was one of the two movies mcconaughey produced. 2) This was adapted to a HIGHSCHOOL musical: https://youtu.be/IMHMOs7r2bo
I think Ben would appreciate this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psSNFY-yVC8
Gave “See” a shot (after dismissing it as ridiculous) and I love it. $8 well spent
I've been binging it the last few days. First season is amazing if you can suspend your disbelief. 2nd season adds way more settlements to cut between and so much court intrigue / streaming drama bloat. It feels much more like a generic fantasy show where everyone carries around a staff now.
Damn, as the extremely hairy guy in HS gym class with an unusual name I fear that random guys may remember me too lol. Also, very good episode as a car buff. Mark me down as someone else that would pay to hear a Rodgers F1 pod.
I live and work in rural Washington state. I am surrounded by crazy, MAGA people all day. The woman I work with closest is anti vaccination, watches newsmax and is proud of her 9 year old for chanting let’s go Brandon at school. It’s hard to be a progressive dude in a MAGA world….
There is definitely a market for an fan F1 podcast. Especially for the American audience. There are new American fans every week. Right now the big official podcast for F1 is “Beyond The Grid” which has a current or former driver on each week (Bottas was on two weeks ago, Alonso this week) highly recommend checking that out but having something like The Flagrant Ones would be amazing. Look at how great those Men In Blazers guys did with soccer.
Stuck the ABZ on in a Bluetooth earphone in bed and my wife had to shake me awake as I was joining in with the discussion in my sleep. 😊
There is an unpublished initial sequel to Miami Blues that is is floating around as a manuscript and from the synopsis it sounds insane.
It’s a xerox or something?
Or make a large donation anonymously and then post in the comments that you’re the mystery donor, but have no desire for the “fanfare” associated with such a generous gift.
I used to have friends, now I listen to podcasts.
I am a 2006 Pontiac grand prix I have more miles then I'd like but will get you from point a to point b but I'm one repair away from completely breaking down and getting sold for parts.
I’m a ‘97 Geo Tracker - “who is this for? Does anyone like this? Where could this even be used?”
figured you'd pick one of those trucks with the back converted into a pool
1000 Percent with Rodgers on small pickup trucks. I would kill for a single cab/standard cab truck right now. All trucks are now extended/crew/quad cab and its annoying as hell. Even the Ford Maverick which launched this fall and is the "return" of the small truck is still as long as a Ford Explorer. My dad drove small trucks when I was growing up and I would kill for a tiny ford ranger.
There's also the Hyundai Santa Cruz which is similar in size to the Maverick. I keep an eye out for small truck news since my first truck was a 90s Ranger and I long for those days to return.
Michael Showalter had a low level internet show in the 00’s where he and Paul Rudd recreate the Tomlin/Russell fight. It’s pretty funny if you like those guys: https://youtu.be/-4N4uR5DgzM
I always feel great when the Debasing, Foul, & Low review gets mentioned.
I gotta bad feeling about the new Matrix.
Bang's late night phone call story--- what a gift. Thanks for sharing my man
Wow, she seems very sane.
Sounds like the proper way to release the Scott Hasn't Seen episode would be a Hollywood Handbook Triumph at Comicon-style meta-commentary episode. Pause for Stanger thoughts on what he would have said. Pause for extended Stallone impressions.
This would be absolutely perfect. That episode (and the retread episode) is like the Sistine Chapel of I want the earth to swallow me comedy. Flawless. They should releae it as a Shadow Wolves.
My old bjj instructor is in Dune. He’s the guy that Paul stabs. Watched that whole movie for his 4.75 min of screen time.
He has such a cool voice. He definitely has an awesome presence in a brief role. Very jealous of your anecdotal connection
Rodgers dating app match sounds like an episode of 20/20 waiting to happen.
LAUNCH THE TINDER WOLVES TIER YOU COWARDS
Ascribing Janis and her husbands missing teeth to meth is generous, toothless rednecks have been around long before meth
I mean when you’re bragging about staying up for 5 days straight just for the hell of it and avoiding the air conditioning for vague, strange reasons then I think you have a lot of evidence that goes in the meth column
Jesus I'm excited for that episode of Scott Hasn't Seen. I wanna hear Scott and Ben throw hands.
Who's gonna be the poor listener that goes searching through Newsmax to find Rodgers' match and ends up getting hopelessly redpilled? (Don't do it)
I’m def a Dodge Neon. I’m very average and that’s it.
I’d listen to an F1 podcast from Rodgers in a heartbeat! I’m not a big racing fan but Rodgers is a knowledgeable guy and his enthusiasm would really sell it!
I have tattoos from my wrists up to neck. I regret them so much. I'm a washed-up stuntman and they screwed me. I could never be a gladiator or a cowboy or a regular guy. All I could ever be was Russian mobster, biker, or patron of a whorehouse.
I can cosign on the watchability of "Drive To Survive" on Netflix. I watched it out of curiosity over Memorial Day weekend this year, and instantly got hooked. It appeals to the globe-trotting part of James Bond movies that I really like. It's been a very fulfilling sport to follow.
The documentary “Senna” is a great watch too.
American Hustle - the shitiest piece of shit that ever shitted out of a shithole
I liked it?
I’m thankful for this podcast. salute gods
Ever since Rodgers mentioned reading Miami Blues I've been waiting for that butt stuff to enter the ABZ lexicon.
The French Dispatch is a movie I thoroughly enjoyed watching but 100% understand if someone says they hate it. Grand Budapest tho is pretty much flawless imo.
Loved this succinct review I saw on Letterboxd; ‘“Directed by Wes Anderson”- Yeah, no fucking shit.’
Shit, I didn’t know David O. Russell broke Lily Tomlin! Edit: no disrespect meant to Ms. Tomlin, I assume it must take a huge asshole to make her so upset.
Watch the video. He flails around like a little bitch and she's cool as a cucumber. Edit: I hadn't heard this specific clip.
Turned off Dune after 10 minutes. Too dusty. Also, I don’t want to hear about anyone’s dreams.
Gabrus will like French Dispatch
What a wonderful birthday present. Thank you stanger💚 you will always be my favorite.
You should kiss him.
