Send us a textWhat if Evel Kneivel and and Ed Wood had a baby? Broken Arrow, that's what. Travolta is a proper cured Virginia ham in this John Woo action adventure and we cant get enough of it. Long admired behind the scenes, the boys let there feelings out with extreme prejudice. Inspired by cute, little Samantha Mathis, we also talk about our favorite ingenues of the 80s and 90s.This is one's a Grumpy Nostalgia new favorite. Aint it cool?
Bruce Willis & Ben Affleck are tasked to save the world and it only gets more plausible from there. The boys have a laugh riot riffing thru this quintessential 90s movie. We promise you'll never eat animal crackers again. Did we mention there's an Evel Kneivel canyon jump in space?
Let's take a trip back to 2007 where we talk about the speed stack cup game, Rock Band, Evel Kneivel and the best (and worst) of the movies and music of that year.
Co-founder of Forge, served on the apprenticeship training committee, president of Stevenson Company, is on the welding advisory committee at Washburn Institute of Technology, and volunteer at the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, KS in which his expertise is in the antics of America's Favorite Daredevil. The show includes:Joe growing up in a steel worker family and where his affinity for motorcycles started. Story behind how the Evel Knievel Museum ended up in Topeka, KS, some of the items on display and responses he receives from visitors. Who was responsible for Evel wanting to become a stuntman, the back story of him making a earth mover pop a wheelie and how spending a night in jail earned him the nickname-Evel.Stories about Evel outside of being a daredevil that includes being an insurance salesman and hitchhiking across the country. The story and stunt that launched him to being a household name (Caesars Palace) and some background on the 1974 jump of Snake Canyon.Was it fame, thrill, money or all that kept him coming back? The year of 1977 was not a good one for Evel from the Shark Jump and his assault on his promoter. The drive, determination, positive mindset Evel had that leads to a tale from a museum visitor that stood up to his abusive father. A legendary Evel tale towards the end of his life, and how he has inspired Joe and helped him in his business.

Our guest is Eddie Braun, a Hollywood stuntman who has worked on hundreds of TV shows and feature films, including The Avengers, Transformers, and the Rush Hour trilogy. In 2016, Braun successfully flew a steam-powered rocket over Snake River Canyon, completing the ultimate stunt that defeated legendary daredevil Evel Kneivel in 1974. Braun did the stunt in “Evel Spirit,” a rocket rebuilt using engineer Bob Truax's original design for Kneivel's SkyCycle, with the only change being a modification to the parachute. Braun's 10,000-horsepower rocket reached 439 mph in 3 seconds and hit 8 Gs, soaring 3,000 feet across the canyon. Braun's epic journey was chronicled in “Stuntman,” a documentary executive produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia, featuring a never-before released clip of rock guitarist Slash playing “Rocket Man” in support of Eddie. “Stuntman” is available on Disney+.

Eddie Braun recently joined host Elias in the cave! In 2016, legendary stuntman Eddie Braun successfully performed the one stunt no one, not even his childhood idol, daredevil Evel Kneivel, had ever accomplished – the famed flight over Snake River Canyon. (During Kneivel's 1974 attempt, the parachute on his Skycycle X-2 was believed to have activated too early causing him to crash. Kneivel's flight was the second most popular televised event that year-earning better ratings than the Super Bowl.) Because no motorcycle existed which could fly ¼ mile, Kneivel tapped the best - NASA engineer Bob Truax – who worked on the intercontinental ballistic missile - to design it. Unfortunately, it resulted in a historic crash, forever tarnishing the reputations of both American heroes. Eddie's achievement generated enormous media attention. What the world didn't know as he finally restored the legacies of the 70's icons by soaring across the canyon at 439MPH in 3 seconds, instantly reaching 10,000 horsepower, at 8Gs, 3000 feet in the air in a steam-powered rocket rebuilt entirely from Truax's original design (save for modifications to the parachute), is what transpired beforehand and the unprecedented hurdles one of Hollywood's biggest stuntmen faced to get there. Eddie's epic journey is now chronicled in STUNTMAN (premiered on Disney+ on July 23rd) / EP'd by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and partner Dany Garcia.

"No risk, no reward". that's what, stunt man, Evel Kneivel, was fond of repeating while consuming his meals through a straw. In April of 2017 the Lousy Podcast followed in the footsteps of Evel by embarking on a five week stint at the Fame venue on Broadway in SF...Drink up! In lieu of excitement, there was a scent of never-properly-mopped up beer in the air as SK and Pete made preparations for this, the 1st of 5, live recordings at the former Mabuhay Gardens - a popular punk venue in the 70's, 80's and one weekend in 2012 when hipsters' favorite cupcake bar, Shipwright & Cheese, underwent renovations to convert into a dub step falafel disco. Not unlike any number of Geraldo's news specials, the show was poised to be a great success. After an inadvisable attempt at an opening monologue, SK introduced Pete and the rest of his guests: Architect and Telegraph Hill expert, Joe Butler and returning friend of the show, and SF comic, Andrew Holmgren...all seems fine so far. But during the updates portion of the show, somehow things went South (or perhaps more accurately, North). Pete discovered a Throng member from the great state of Alaska and things began to unravel. Were it not for the crowd's (The term crowd here is being used with an expired poetic license) collective disdain for Ruby Sky we might have ended things right then and there. Enter Joe Butler. A virtual dusty encyclopedia of San Francisco knowledge. If SK and Pete hadn't interrupted the man at every third sentence he might have been able to save things but such are the dreams of Parrots and Men. To Joe's credit he did manage to get in some interesting stories about the early adopted Telegraph Hill semaphore, Layman's Castle for the people, how the ground was pulled out from under the Gray Brothers, Bill Bailey's cottage and how he didn't come home, Pasquale's blue ball, the beat generation and the, not-to-be-outdone, CIA trip. Babette in Squidges role as producer and sound engineer as well as a very funny set by Andrew Holmgren made it look, for a second, that we'd clear the last bus but here we are...back in traction.
