Josh Brolin's Crazy Life: Wolf Bite, Thanos, Skating Roots | EP 124 | Hawk vsWolf

[@mheiseus]

Brolin is so cool... He has even surpassed his father and didnt intend to

See, I told someone in an MMO the other night that Tony was the world's first big mega star that transcends all mediums and disciplines, and they thought that was too bold of a statement.

Josh brolin is so funny. Love him in all his roles. Especially goonies

I’m so fkn torn right now… Thought Mullen was the best episode, the x, then y, then z episode, then last week’s Bucky/Ellis one, but now this takes the cake. Brolin seems like such a solid guy! Thanks for the entertainment AND the deep vibes! ❤

The only movie I’ve ever cried to as an adult was Only The Brave. It’s John Brolin, Miles Teller, Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, Taylor Kitsch, etc. and it tells the story of 19 firefighters from my hometown of Prescott, Arizona who sadly lost their lives trying to put out a wildfire in one of the nearby towns.

[@vivek27789]

[@JC-hq7iu]

Such a great movie

[@richardksimpson800]

Guys, this was a fantastic conversation! As a 53 year old dude who works out to stay one step ahead , Thank you. It was great hearing you all chat about being young and getting older. Josh was a great guest. I will be tuning in again for sure.

[@tiggerdyret]

This was really fun to watch. It felt like Josh got slightly annoyed with Jason for not acknowledging the insane situation he was in with his mom, but then he realized that Jason is crazy and they suddenly started getting really good rapport and finding more and more things in common.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

I am a kid that grew up on Thrashin. Now I am 47 year old that still loves it. Part of our history for sure.

[@tektight]

Love the real talk with Brolin. It's nice to hear about "those days" in a real format.

[@flangmasterj]

Incredible! You guys have to get Josh back on. So relatable and captivating. Well done dudes.

[@HawkvsWolf]

We agree!

[@jmcd21182]

Brolins evolution as an actor from Goonies to No Country For Old Men is incredible. He just got better and better with one incredible performance after another.

[@davidhurd2350]

I needed to hear JB's experience with catastrophobia. I'm the father to a 3-year-old girl, and I deal with the same thing. It's great to hear that I'm not alone, and it's even better to know there's a way to start getting past it. Love and respect, boys.

[@tenyardfight5454]

Same here bro. Little drug use in my early days and i also believe it’s spiritual. Not letting your kids adventure could be more damaging than a accident.

[@mickylawless1941]

I'm 63, lived a life of adventure sport where I was a Backcountry guide and Telemark ski instructor, ranch cowboy and outfitter, among a list of crazy demanding jobs. You name it and I probably did it. I have been in pain 24/7 since 1982. I never quit "playing" back then and I damn well ain't going to quit now. I started rock climbing at age 59. I still tele and backcountry ski. My point being, don't stop moving. I've severe nerve pain, blown out shoulders, my neck is wrecked and a bad back, 5 knee surgeries and I just don't stop moving. It helps that I have a wife 29 years my junior. She keeps me motivated. I'd love to get stem cell treatment, but I'm a poor retired dirtbag. America needs to start treating folk with stem cells. Anyway, thank you guys for this great podcast. Cheers!

No country for old men! One of the best films ever.. great actor.

[@jibiroo]

Loved that one!!! I went to SBHS w/ Josh he was a good friend way back when we were Cito Rats!!! Last time I saw him was at Jasen Sears’ wake. He was super cool and has become a great actor and it’s true we had no idea he would have an acting carer yet he is killing it!!! Rock on Y’all!!!

[@Therealbigmonster]

I think tony and Jason have really developed the podcast into something fun and professional. I like how your conversations don’t seemed forced or any agendas. It’s your own style. Also your guests lately have been excellent choices, Josh Brolin seems like a cool guy.

[@HawkvsWolf]

Thanks for listening/watching!

[@erichdowns4604]

Josh is so right. How do we grow as people if we're not allowed to make mistakes. Society is in a sad state 😞

[@marvinshenk]

The whole beauty of Thrashin' was the low budget and the not so professional level of acting. That movie was made down to the level of all the kids who loved it when it came out. Now were all 50 and laugh at it, but at the time it was the perfect movie for us skate rats, and it's a cult classic movie. If it had a huge budget and was directed by Spielberg, all of us kids would have clowned on it back then as not authentic. I love that movie, and I think Tony Hanks was especially good in it.

[@theramplocal]

Same dude, I watched that movie everyday for a year before I got my 1st skate video, (vision psycho skate) and I still love it. It's corny. The acting isn't the best, but it's perfect for what it was

[@Largentina.]

What a great use of emojis lol

[@showtime951]

Josh is more self-assured, more worldly, more sophisticated, and his humor is slightly more dry, but he is virtually the same guy I've known since he was 13. It has been so satisfying to see a friend not only accomplish his stated goal of becoming a respected working actor, but unarguably become one of the best film actors in the world. His body of work speaks for itself. As for his mother, Jane, she was awesome. Full of stories, opinionated, warm, passionate, compassionate, and funny as hell. As they say in Hollywood, she knew where a lot of the bodies were buried.

[@boofert.washington2499]

was he pretentious back then, too? bc I have a "do you know who I am?" story about Joshy-poo that shows him in a terrible light. It happened in Venice Beach when he got carded for a beer.

[@tobe1207]

What does that make you? If hes a pretentious asshole because that one sentence that one time...do you ever look back at the things you do or say and think of the possibility that you may be an asshole,judgemental ,obnoxious or entitled? Or you're just great right? At least he was in the Goonies

Brolin's acting career has been an interesting one to watch. He is the Rick Kane (Matt Adler) of the skateboarding world, which is a cornerstone to skateboarding culture and therefore an honor.

How did i not know that this channel exists!? Binge time! To this day i still use Ellis' line from Haggard, "You're-a-deadman!" I'm 37 now, when i was a little kid (7 years old) and getting into skateboarding, my parents rented Thrashin' for me from a local video store. I remember being half way through it, and being like "This...uhh, this sucks..." My brother's friend let me borrow Animal Chin and i was hooked. The OG Bones Brigade are still some of my biggest heroes. I wont lie, when i saw the video where they re-created the Chin ramp, i choked up and someone started cutting onions nearby. I was lucky enough to be able watch that video with my two sons who (they were 6 and 9 at the time) were just getting into skating. We shortly after watched Animal Chin, Ban This, Propaganda and then Gleaming the Cube and finished it off with The End. It was a great evening where i got to share my lifelong love of skateboarding with my sons, who were just as stoked as I was the first time watching those movies.

[@auralepiphanies4055]

I loved this interview and now I know why I love Josh Brolin so much. He had to pay the price to become the actor he became. No free rides for the Brolin boy and as terrible as it may sound all of this life failure stuff is what makes the drive to success all the more real. He had to walk ordinary shoes and this is what any good actor needs. Just my 2 cents. Also this chemistry between the two is making me weep for my childhood again. haha long live the 80s!
