As a little girl (born in 76) I kinda remember pull tabs going away. And then, oddly, I thought I won’t see these all around as much in ditches and such. It was the first time in my life where I understood what was normal and also it was debris but would disappear. And it still feels heavy to me. But at the time I was also being babysat by a husky while my elders were getting wasted so I had the time…
For real tho pull tabs were the first symbol of life changes
Hell yeah
Damn I am coming in too late with this. But I feel pretty confident we'll never have a prettier song directly inspired by and heavily referencing a movie that ABZ covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqtjqeeHO5E&ab_channel=RobynHitchcock-Topic
They really don’t mention it was Charlie that had the minor traffic accident just before the orgy shootout? He has clearly pulled in to use the car park bathroom and tidy himself up and check his bike etc… traffic cops know where all the good bathrooms are 💩
The no name other rookie cop is Kip Niven, aka the “EEEVILLLLL” killer in New Years Evil!!!!
Try counting my machine gun bullets Harry.
Robert Urich made one of the greatest movies of all time, Ice Pirates!
Watched that recently. I wouldnt say it was great, or even good. But sexy young Ron Perlman and Angelica Huston make for a fun watch.
Stangers joke about Dirty Harry losing his virginity to the downstairs neighbor has made me laugh a concerning amount of times
Gonna make a "Get your hands off my cream pie" poster if i hit up any protests.
Get a photo next to either of those inflatable Union rats or in a teachers Union protest.
If they mentioned it and I missed it I’ll rightly get eviscerated, but how in the name of Crom did they not talk about the guy that played Early, Felton Perry, also played Johnson in Robocop?
Thank you for saying what I was only thinking
I recently stumbled on the fact that Milius' daughter is a minor light in MAGA circles who worked for the Trump administration made one of those braindead Dinesh D'Souza-style "documentaries" called "The Plot Against the President"
That tracks.
For an additional 25¢ a month, you get the "Rodgers Business Class Internet Tier" with speeds up to 1 gig.
Love him complaining about robotic podcasters while sounding like auto tuned Max Headroom
What’s a drinking toilet?
Suzanne Somers - smoke show
Is a Clint Eastwood impression the same as a Ronald Reagan impression? Who was aping whom back then?
I once told Kurt Russell "I loved you in Overboard" while he was sitting with Tarantino.
Same with me and Captain Ron
Before he was Buff Bagwell he was Marcus Bagwell one half of the American Males, who had the greatest theme music in the history of professional wrestling. Google it, give it a listen. The Boyz should come out to it next live show
The American Males' look is the perfect encapsulation of of 1995 Meathead Vanity
If you come across a Cockfighter paperback with Warren Oates on the cover at a garage sale, snatch that baby up. It will sell on eBay for at least $20.
Stanger, I heard you when you said they were using .357 Magnums and Harry was using a .44 Magnum. Twice. You are correct.
I think it's well established that Clint doesn't use any kind of magnum.
Speaking of weirdos giving too much info: One time I started a new job at Pizza Hut. The very first thing my new cooworker (a man with no teeth) said to me was "Mah wife aint go no arms and legs. Makes it fun when we fuck. Ah just got outta jail for beatin her."
I think I saw a movie about him once. The one where 13 Assassins go and kill him and his whole clan of samurai in Japan. It was a pretty good.
Solid episode.
Big Poppa Pump AKA Scott Steiner has some good Shadow Wolves introduction material. Particularly his "Steiner Math" promo and his "Freakshow" workout video clips.
Love when he (mistakenly?) refers to himself as "the ultimate landscape"
Just started listening to the new Double Threat with Gabrus/Pally and Julie mentioned Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain in like the first ten seconds
Star Chamber is a good concept but a dull movie.
Also, California Department of Transportation from about 1998-2006 tried to to full metric. Didn’t work
Loved seeing the return of Evil of New Year's Evil fame as Astrachan in this one.
Speaking of bad catch phrases, the former Sacramento Kings play-by-play guy (Grant Napier) liked to yell all time: “IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT, YOU DON’T LIKE NBA BASKETBALL!” It was not cool.
In one scene in “Magnum Force,” when the car crashes into a storefront or something, you can briefly see the film crew in the background. “1 out of 9 found this interesting.”
The “Light Special” is meaning the amount of powder is in there, less powder and easier to control. At the risk of being the next ABZ Psycho, when I saw they were ex Vietnam Special forces I perked up. Of course the Phoenix Program extensively used special forced, and more importantly they were then exported to the US and embedded within large city police departments (most of the LAPD at that time was connected to the CIA, which continued through Iran Contra and to this day). They used their Phoenix program training to be used as death squads, and sometimes just general terror (the number of ex Vietnam spec ops people involved or affiliated with serial killers is intriguing.) the movies amplified the terror of the post 60s era and next thing you know we have a militarized police because they’re needed to keep order(based on Nixon’s rhetoric) and now cops will do whatever will get the most amount of people killed.
There’s multiple books out there about the phoenix program and they are all fascinating. A lot do the same techniques they used in the Vietnam they tried again in Afghanistan and Iraq. Surprise, they failed again and had similar consequences.
Every week I tune in hoping they’ll announce an upcoming live show! I know they’ve already been to Texas but I’m guessing Austin may have the critical mass they’d need for it to make sense to travel. I need a pick me up after this heat wave and the loss of my corporal autonomy (and casual cream pies) :( <3
There is a weird comedy show mafia here. People have to book through them so there is a huge mark up on tickets. So acts dont like coming here
“I thought you were just a comic book fan” and “F350 with a handicap sticker” got me.
Action Boyz: Come for the movie talk, stay for the intermittent UCB gossip.
On the sports commentator talk, I highly recommend checking out a fighting game tournament. Some of funniest game commentary out there
My buddy did the prank you're talking about to my other friend. The friend was a rich kid, pretty annoying, bragged about his car all the time. My buddy was like, "Hey your car's so cool, can I take some pics of it to send to my brother?" The guy let him, so my buddy was opening up the doors and getting really detailed pictures of everything. Then on a Friday night at about 10, just before we're about to go bar hopping, my buddy listed it on Craigslist for a quarter of the bluebook value saying he needed to sell it that weekend and listed the guy's phone number. His phone was blowing up the entire night, it was hilarious.
A buddy of mine took this to a whole other level. So on his brother's birthday he posted an ad on 'm4m casual encounters' something to the effect of "Its my birthday send me dick pix" and included his brothers number. So he was inundated with dozens of happy birthday dictures.
He should've said yes to that cream pie
Almost pulled a Stanger and watched MegaForce this week
I love this movie, about to start the episode. Dirty Harry vs CHiPS, it's incredible.
Do you spell it like 'gunk' or 'gounck'?.. I think I've been spelling gounck wrong.
Isn’t the board game with the volcanoes Fireball Island? Posting this now and praying Rogers doesn’t remember in 2 minutes and I look like an asshole here
Haha was just about to post the same thing hoping they didn’t remember. And right on cue Rodgers gets it 2mins later
For new listeners, Rogers is not having audio issues, it’s an intermittent Enemy Mine impression.
Playing this episode for my mother in the hospital, against her will. THANK YOU ACTION BOYZ!
With the Boyz help, she won’t be needing that place much longer.
wet gunk
Anyone else blow through the other three Dirty Harry movies after watching this? If you stick it out to the Dead Pool you get to see Liam Neeson with a rat tail and Jim Carey play a smack addicted rockstar
Oooooh, so THAT's the one I remember watching on TV as a kid!
