If Steven Segal fell off a skate board, he would sound like the zoom meeting guy bruising a rib.

Rodgers making reference to Green Hell done by...The Misfits...not Dave Grohl..talking to you Stanger....fucking miss Stanger Bot and...that other character...was it a troll? Fuxk, sorry...Gorgon...my bad dude. I was hoping Gabrus would dive into the skate culture of the 90s..he made references to 411, Zoo York..maybe big brother...ahh those times..reckless. Rodgers is intimidating with his knowledge and wit, but...still likeable. Would love for you guys to do a show on Oahu,love the banter and inside jokes! Mahalo may mucho!much! Also..as far as theater etiquette, I'd like to propose starting Rodgers Angels...we would be in theaters facing the crowd with night vision goggles(thanks gabrus) and be...sure...not yo disrespect this...HOUSE!

A bit late, but since Rodgers mentioned getting a Genesis emulator, I just thought I'd mention that we're currently in a bit of a boom regarding retro handhelds. You can get a device for 40$ that can very comfortably play NES, SNES, Genesis and Gameboy Advance etc. games and fit in a pocket. I'd recommend taking a look at the Miyoo Mini Plus, for instance, but there are so many good ones.

I'm glad to hear that it's still there. For two straight years in the early-aughts, my Friday afternoons were spent there after a meal at the Fuddruckers next door.

Loved Stranger's hilarious story about saving seats at the Bay Street Theater in Emeryville. I see movies there all the time.

Rodgers with the sweet “last caress” reference.

2024-10-03 02:17:21 +0000 UTC

Of all the admissions of being a bad kid that we've heard from Gabrus, stealing from the local skateshop might be the worst of them (burning down a field included).

Scott Blacula

2024-10-03 00:02:16 +0000 UTC

I was tickled to hear Rogers name-drop Skitchin'. I remember the artwork had the word 'Bitchin' on it, which shocked my young self to see such a vulgar swear word on the case.

Joe Gunch

This was an all timer episode. Thanks sports boys!

Kris macfalda

Loved Stanger's story of saving seats. Recently I've been bringing my bike helmet into the theater to put on my seat while I get concessions. Better than a piece of paper.

Adam Everitt

2024-10-01 20:40:00 +0000 UTC

The funniest line in the Daffy Duck short Stanger was talking about is, "Then someone clipped Charlie in the ear with a chair and the the whole thing started again!" or, " The little guy got six months for kicking a cop!"

John Hedgepeth

Palmer

We called it "hooky-bobbing" growing up, but that was in NE Washington, so it very well might be a regional thing.

2024-10-01 16:55:48 +0000 UTC

I don't want to be an ungrateful bitch (unless it prompts Rogers to make fun of me, that shit is hilarious) but for Sportstember next year I'd love to hear the Boyz discuss "Airborne" a movie about rollerblading? And "Possums" a movie where a highschool football team is so shitty they just start broadcasting made up games that begin to excite the townspeople.

I can't believe Stanger confused Norman Mailer and Neil Simon. They need to finally get a 20th century playwrights guy.

Skitchin' is the most underrated game ever, in 30 years since I've played it this was the first time I've ever heard someone else mention it.

2024-10-01 12:56:02 +0000 UTC

My mom had a Chrysler Laser when I was growing up and the voice thing was so fucking annoying, at one point it broke and just kept saying that the gas was low, it felt like the shittiest version of Kitt from Knight Rider

Holy shit, listening to Stanger lose his mind at Roger’s impression of the hurt rib guy had me cry laughing.

Patrick Boutwell

2024-09-30 21:39:56 +0000 UTC

I may have just forgotten but did any of the Boyz bring up watching The Sympathizer on HBO a few months ago on Shadow Wolves during media diet? The novel was everywhere when it came out in 2015 and you'd always see it prominently placed in book stores for a couple years. This episode kind of jogged my memory because of the Vietnamese Anti-Communist Relief Fund things. There's a very fascinating history when it comes to the communities that emerged in the United States after fleeing the wars in South East Asia. Specifically too when it comes to LA/OC now and how it creates interesting political dynamics.

I am far too lazy but I think there is a hyper niche Gleaming the Cube + Pokemon meme that can be made from this. "Brian used Skateboard Through the Glass.....It Is Not Very Effective."

Mitch Kapa

2024-09-30 18:46:39 +0000 UTC

Really enjoyed the chat about kids and independence. I think the problem is just how car dependent we’ve made most of this country. I live in a place with great public services like parks, libraries, and rec centers, but the neighborhoods are bracketed on all sides by 6 lanes of 45 mph traffic. And the cars people buy now sit so high that anyone under 5 feet is practically invisible. So mom and dad usually just bite the bullet and drive. I’m looking at relocating to a more pedestrian friendly area so my kids can learn some independence before getting their drivers licenses, but to move to a place that’s both pedestrian and family friendly is like a million dollar decision.

Loved this movie so much. Grew up skating in the 90s/2000s, and it was wild to see so many of my personal heroes at the time as kids in this movie, which must have been filmed soon after the olley was invented, changing skateboarding forever!

This is off topic but I got married last weekend and in my wife's vows she was talking about how she loves my passion for my hobbies, books and video games and ect, and she also mentioned the Action Boyz and she even paused to do the Yoda "hmm hurumph." By the way, to be clear, she does not listen to the Podcast at all, this is just from her hearing me do it and attributing it to the Boyz. So anyways, just wanted the Boyz to know that they have been mentioned in wedding vows, if that's something they wanted to accomplish

My favorite thing about this movie is how much mental energy I spent before the movie thinking about the title. What could it mean? - [ ] Does the main character have to pass a geometry test at the end of the movie? - [ ] Is there a challenge to grind across the edge of a cubic sculpture in some corporate park? - [ ] Is there a sci fi element involving advanced cube technology? And then 30 seconds into the movie during the montage of everyone skating in the empty pool there’s an ADR line of one of the kids throwing out “aw yea yer gleaming the cube dude!” - I laughed way too hard. mystery solved immediately I guess.
