Love the Branson / Kurt Russell skateboard story

I would like to get that contact info for Stanger's ear wax guy. I need a wax off job.

Joe Dawes

Would love to have you in Moscow but not sure the government would agree with me

The reveal of Gabrus' larceny was a treat. Was a fan of taking full beer kegs out behind the restaurant in college pretending they were empty (benefit of being one of the people fat enough to change the kegs) and then picking them up after hours, selling them on craigslist. That sounded like I was going to fuck them.

Gwildor's lost somewhere in the Transfer Station out in the marshes.

I miss Achewood!

Dan Mayhugh

Also love Stanger’s “young idiot dude” voice.

Rodgers as Bronson: “I need two sets of flippers, one for a guy, don’t worry I know his height and weight” Stanger in Italian accent: “But what are his interests?” I died.

If you want more Roddenberry talk, they discuss his legendary cocksmanship toward the end of the wrath of khan episode

Dude, don't act like you don't know that Airwolf is faster than any jet.

I'm Lester Holt

Michael Winner’s book, Winner Takes All, is a must read. Some great Bronson and Brando stories. I got mine off eBay and it was signed by Winner, inscribed to Joan Rivers.

From Parts Unknown

Don't forget the oddly specific ukulele(s) issue.

Charles Bronson has Airwolf. This is not code. He is flying Airwolf because he owns Airwolf. Nothing else he could say would make more sense given what he owns and what he is doing at this moment.

Nick

Forget about Italy or Spain and come to France ! Your Jean Reno pig impression will be received well here I'm sure.

Handball is still very popular in NYC. There's a handball court in the park across the street from me and people use it all the time.

Joe Gunch

You squirted ear

balbert

Anyone catch the time stamp where Rodgers is talking about Gene Roddenberry? My Trekkie partner will get a kick out of that but I'm too lazy to scan through looking for it :P

Seth Buchanan

I feel like after Twins Double Dating, Rodgers is approaching a Seinfeldian level of comically breaking up with women for transgressions big and small. He probably has a 21 ep season of content - candy bowl, android user, racist

REMAIN INDOORS

Stanger - those doctors are bleeding you for something you can do yourself. Use eardrops for a week or two to loosen the wax, then you can flush 'em out at home using a store bought syringe and warm water ... it's gross but great

Shut It Off

Gotta be!!! Yeah BIG DADDY!!!

Robert Holguin

Yo Stanger: is this the Big Daddy guy you’re referencing? https://bit.ly/3bJUC0j

This movie cruises. Dr Run time must’ve loved it

Kevin Thomas Shane

We back over three hours boyz!

“Weird sauna eyes” is very funny, I keep thinking of it

Second week in a row Stanger had an opening to reboot his 2001: A Space Odyssey character (a fan favorite) and missed it. No wonder the guy played fullback.

Apropos of nothing in this episode, I’ve genuinely grown to love Gabrus’ Dad, and I am sorry you lost him.

Conor Hunter

Had to change my last name on here... was wondering when my ABZ board name would write itself in a cold open. Thanks guys!

Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)

Maybe I misread the scene, but Harry makes it seem like him and Bronsons dad were good fiends. Like they hung out while he was a little kid having trouble swimming. But Bronsons so freaking old looking I didn’t buy it. It made me look it up, and the actors are only 5 years apart!!

Conor Hunter

I'd like tho thank the brave men and women who made it possible for me to wake up on a rainy Monday morning, watch a Bronson/Jan-Michael Vincent classic for the first time, and then listen to a 3 hour podcast, all while getting stoned. Glory be to the father...

Joe B

Never thought it would happen to me...but had my own “Stanger of my friend group” moment when he mentioned his English breakfast tea habit....this is going to take me a while to process. Take care Action Faction, if you listen long enough, it’ll happen to you...

PlutoniumTorch

Had an intense flashback during this episode. My uncle would watch this movie on repeat and it would be on when we visited. He’d use the “…and he’s got a machine gun” line whenever something went wrong at a family function. Great episode guys!

Mijo

Damn Kodo and Podo would be proud of all the shit the Action Boyz have stolen over the years.

Paul

I totally relate with you guys about eBay; totally!

Mike Cooper

When I was a kid I didn’t understand that Nightcrawler was trying to assassinate the president in the beginning of X2. I just thought tying a message to a knife and jamming it into the Oval Office’s desk was a really powerful way to deliver a message.
