Roger’s could not stop telling that David morell story. lol
Hell yeah
Hi Rogers, what is the name of that hobo book you were talking about? I didn't catch it.
This episode reminded me i saw Swayze in Guys and Dolls on the West End
I spent my life trying to find the right haircut. It’s basically never happened. Plus it’s got to fit under a swim cap.
Sick Nancy Reagan burns
Who doesn't love a box lunch at the Y
I knew the BBT clip would be played…chalk the interviewer up with the long list of Action Boyz sex predators - https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/jian-ghomeshi-how-he-got-away-with-it/amp/
Oh wow, they did my hometown scandal. I have a quick addendum to make: the former basketball player didn't actually sleep with the student, instead he solicited a 15 year old with texts such as 'You're very pretty in the face and have a great body... That normally means you're hot... some of those holes in your jeans always made me wonder what you looked like without anything on...' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257037/Dustin-James-Mullins-Teacher-busted-sending-dirty-Facebook-messages-student-15.html
Glad to hear gabrus still reading Wheel of time, love that story
Holy shit I’ve never actually heard this Billy Bob thing before
I think I’ve just heard them reference it so much that I thought I had heard it.
I feel like “Boondock Saints” benefitted in a weird way from being such a shit show, because as mentioned on the episode, everyone was still trying to be the next Tarantino, but without the quality that he brings to his projects. I don’t think Boondock Saints is any different, but by taking forever to get made, having its budget slashed, not having any A-list stars in it, and then taking even longer before anyone SAW it, it kind of escaped being bunched in with that wave of other movies, many of them other Miramax films, that were considered failed attempts at being the next Pulp Fiction. I don’t like Boondock Saints myself, but I think it’s a good gateway movie to other better movies that those of us a little older than the early ‘00s college dorm room crowd would have been more familiar with that Duffy was clearly trying to rip off.
Gabrus fkn exploded at the mention of Kenny Powers. 😂 (see 2:22:17 mark)
I was in film school in NH around the time of Boondock Saints and Overnight, and when the doc came out we laughed our asses off because Troy was the exact kind of overconfident MA/CT bro we had to deal with every day at school. We used to call our school "Uconn North" because we constantly had an influx of rich kids who failed out of college down in CT and their parents sent them up to our school as a last resort. You'd walk past their frats on a Pats game night and you could smell the Natty Light & sexual assault wafting out the windows to the sidewalk
As a 26 year old listener I can confirm that The Boondock Saints was a HUGE hit with me and my friends and everyone around that age when I grew up , probably most watched sleep over movie of my childhood
Very excited to hear the boyz opinion on the new matrix after they see it. I feel like it did everything they said it probably wouldn’t do. It sucked so hard.
I wanted it to be goooood
No talk about dude's fuckin overalls.. if you're not a farmer or a 90's hip hop artist it never looks good
Has anyone ever truly looked cool in round, tinted glasses? Besides Whoopi Goldberg
Re: Billy Bob, check out Terry Zwigoff on Gilbert Gotfrieds podcast from a few weeks ago. Lotta backstory on making Bad Santa, apparently the Weinstein’s offered it to De Niro and Nicholson and Billy Bob was the last choice but a total asshole on set. Harold Ramis called him excited about getting BBT for The Ice Harvest, Zwigoff didn’t have heart to tell him what a nightmare he had in store.. Ramis called him after WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?!?!? ..there’s other stuff like Mickey Rooney auditioned for the part of the little person/Santa’s helper
No H&M post for Matrix? How are we gonna talk about the alternate universe Smith-Kilmer pairing?!
I don’t know what you’re talking about. 😑
Rodgers called Swearengen Squarengen.
The Criterion “Blast of Silence” DVD has a cool bonus feature of Allen Baron (lead actor/director) giving a guided tour of all the NYC filming locations they used in 1961. At one point he stops in front of an old restaurant and recalls his father visiting before it wrapped. “This was the restaurant where my dear old dad picked up the tab from a waitress I had a brief sexual encounter with months earlier. She was only a 6, so I never called her. Moving on.”
That story has weirdly similar echoes of Rodgers' fling with Subway Girl and her subsequently being the server for him and his parents at dinner
As someone that worked in sports television for over 20 years including a stint with MLB in the late 90’s early 2000s the “Cal Ripken” story has made the rounds for years. I have had it told to me by many people from union crew to ex ball players. Everyone has a “source that was there”. It remains a mystery
Hey that was my story and I also work in sports tv!
That Q show is Canadian and the host got in shit not too long after that interview for being a sexual predator.
Yup. I mean Billy Bob is obnoxious in that interview but Jian Ghomeshi is a legitimate monster so I’m kind of glad that BBT sabotaged the interview in retrospect. Also, as they point out, it gave us the excellent ‘Crashmore’ sketch in ‘I Think You Should Leave’.
Troy is a walking spazomatic
My wife and child and I all got omnicron and it wasnt that bad (besides having to stay home for Christmas). All of us had maybe four or five days of symptoms with one being pretty bad. Bang with perhaps the best hookup/post-hookup story i've ever heard. Oh
This doc sounds like a good companion to that Woodstock '99 thing on HBO. The Boyz description of this guy reminds me of the directionless white angst and rage that it highlights
We're not all bad. Some of us watch Insecure and talk loudly about it in public.
This is what the world needs
I did a coffee spit take this morning when Gabrus called himself “Sexual Lenny”.
The comfort with which Stanger can run down the starting lineup up of the ‘93 ESU Timberwolves is astonishing.
Still don't understand the disdain for Marvel movies. Drives me insane. They are better than most of the shit hitting theaters nowadays.
I agree with you. Prepare to get roasted tho.
Cigs and SoCo farts really hit me where I live.
Same.
This guy's monologues were worth watching this twice. What sloppy steak eating piece of shit!
Slicked back hair
Dude really thought he was the next Tarantino
Still doesn't explain the overalls
Whenever my grandpa gets drunk he tells some version of the Custer story and it's always different. homies walking on and shooting dead soldiers to make sure they're dead makes it in every time though. He even told it this Christmas! It's a very happy story the way he tells it lmfaoo they hated that Custer bitch
This is a twisted mix of hillbilly rock & roll, throat singing and pure sexuality. A cosmic gumbo if you will.
Hell yeah man
